The dilemma is: Programming in Java isn't any fun for him.
But we think there is something wrong when people base their lives on the outcome of a game.

I think they have the right to do whatever the hell they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

The real reason these guys hate sports is not because they think it's irrational to "base your life on the outcome of a game", it's because they suck at sports.
Ars Technica has a series of articles on the case. They go into detail about the various claims on both sides and the feeling in the courtroom. https://arstechnica.com/series/pao-vs-kleiner-perkins/
I read the PDFs of #39132 and #51179, and first, these are very clear and well written vulnerability reports. Props to the author for that, many times these reports can be extremely hard to follow and these are shining examples to the contrary. I found them easy to follow, enough details to reproduce, and quite valid issues.

Second, I'll put my neck out here a bit and say, I find myself agreeing with the author's stance. Namely,

1) Independently discovered vulnerabilities are not "owned" by the first to discover it. As a courtesy, you may defer to another researcher, or combine your efforts, but I don't think there's any requirement to do so.

2) 90 days notice is more than enough time to expect at least a cursory response when you say, "Has this bug been fixed? Shall I go ahead and disclose it?", and then again, "This is a heads up that I will be blogging about this on March 12, 2015 i.e 90 days after the initial
disclosure unless I hear otherwise. Thanks!", and then AGAIN, "This is a reminder that this bug will be disclosed in 4 days :-)".

In Google's case, for example, it's not just 90 days notice, it's a 90 day deadline to fix. In this case, a simple, "no, we need more time, please don't disclose this" response on the 2nd issue could have avoided the whole problem.

Bug bounties, particularly a fully managed program through HackerOne, encourage Engineers to spend value time and resources investigating and writing up detailed reports of complex issues. If you sign up to run a bounty program, it's essential you give participants the time of day, like responding to their repeated inquiries about disclosing an issue.

It wasn't clear to me if the author was banned from HackerOne or just Slack's program. If the later, well, that's fine, Slack absolutely has the prerogative to invite whomever they like to participate in the program. I think they are missing out on a great contributor in this case though. If author suffered an outright ban on the platform, that would be distressing.

Lastly, if the 3rd vulnerability was unknown to Slack before author reported it, I think author should be properly compensated based on the terms of the program.
The funny thing is for my application, wanting to use a small box for midi sequencing, even though machines like the bananapi or the odroid have much more firepower the guys who develop their system images always leave all the midi stuff out, which the raspberry pi gives you full midi hardware support, even though the banana pi or odroid are like 4 boxes put together.
Whats the deal with the flag in the middle, what do you have to do?
I spent a weekend with a [Bruderhof](http://www.bruderhof.com/) community. It's basically the same thing as the Amish. I just asked :) They're very welcoming.
The old Italian keyboard (last seen in the 80s) was like that. It was qzerty too. Numbers moved to the unshifted position and Z and W swapped place.

From what I see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout there are very few keyboard like that now. I'd go with a number pad myself if I had to use one of them. On the bright side, if the US keyboard had shifted numbers the keys !"£$%&/()=?^ won't be shifted and a programmer might actually be using them more than numbers.
Let's say Chicago (or Seattle, or New York) become tech hubs comparable to Silicon Valley. What's stopping the same bro culture from developing there?

Isn't the misogynistic bro culture a function of a sheltered, narrow upbringing and a nationwide cultural infatuation with "apps" (which only the talented, sought-after Software Engineers can provide)?

From my experience, the bros come from all across the US and Canada, and not just the San Francisco Bay Area. I've lived and worked here all my life, and most people in the tech industry actually moved here from other states. So what's to say they all won't move to Chicago as well?
You can do high-quality engineering in management. You're just doing it with other people's code, as well as your own if you choose to continue programming.
Your link doesn't answer my question.

Yes, we have a tagged dataset, and image recognition would just be awesome.
Can you send a mail to pierre@openfoodfacts.org so that I can invite you to the OpenFoodFacts slack, so that we can discuss it further ?
Apparently Chrome isn't affected: http://malware.dontneedcoffee.com/2015/01/unpatched-vulnerab...
If you have higher security accounts which have gmail as the contact email, then the gmail account should be treated the same.

Breaking into gmail gives access to many password recovery mechanisms.

But I agree for low priority sites: my password across many forum sites is the same and very low entropy. I really don't care to think more about it!
Agreed. Oddly enough, one of the only website I have to open Chrome (which has Flash installed) for is ... Google Music. It has an HTML5 setting, but that seems to do nothing.
It's sloppily written. I expect that the increase in quality of what is on the market has moved the average buyer down. Thus, today, there are fewer $1500 TVs available for stealing than there were in 1990 (there are likely many more $500 TVs though, so maybe it wasn't a good example). Anyway, setting that example aside, I still have the idea that stuff is worth less today.

Anyone who does pro audio usually has one or more S/PDIF interfaces sitting around gathering dust, it's still the default standard for stereo digital transmission.
No ECC in RAM, either. Yiiiikes.

Edit: or peer review, or even a bug tracker. My coworkers working on web apps have a better SDLC than these jokers.
Great idea! Behance also sells some whiteboard paint that you can use to turn most any surface into a whiteboard. Thinking of picking up a batch for my room.
Do you have a graduate developer position as well?
> I'm quite certain they didn't solve the problem of determining the correct long term value system for the human race.

Having a non-tautological way of capturing what "more productive uses" means, which is what I was responding to, in no way requires solving this much more difficult (and quite possibly unsolvable in that there might not be a single answer) problem.

> in economic terms how would an economic actor express a clear preference for a sequence of events that leads to a personal connection with someone who doesn't have any money, when they are not aware that's even a thing they can do?

If they're not even aware of the option, then the obvious thing to do is to make them aware of the option. Economists call this "creating a market". Enabling transactions to take place that couldn't take place before is one of the primary ways that new wealth is created. If this isn't happening, it's a sign that "the system" is, once again, not a free market; and the way to fix it is to make it more of a free market.
My wife and I vacationed in Portugal a few years back. We stayed in Cascais before heading to Lisbon (both were stunning and the people extremely friendly - Cascais was like a mini-Lisbon on the sea to me). In any event, we took a little sunset sailboat ride and the young gentleman at the helm said he was from the Azores. He said it can be quite remote, but he thought it was one of the most magical places he'd seen and implored us to visit. It's #1 on our list as well.

Also, I have half a mind to visit Paratay, Brazil. All I know is the song Paratay by Mia Doi Todd (1), but as I listen to the lyrics, that's enough to get my wanderlust stirring.

That is why we use things like io-ts. t.Int is a branded type that ensures number is whole and greater than 0.
Most Americans don't really have a choice. Even the most transit-friendly American cities like Seattle were created with job sites that lie in isolated hovels outside of denser areas. And changing this requires planning across multiple industries, not just the efforts of a couple companies.
FAANG design interviewer gang represent.

In my personal opinion the biggest trap I see is other interviewers falling into a rut: they've asked their question hundreds of time and already know what they want, robbing it of that vital collaborative aspect.

Make sure to cycle what you ask, so that you can continue to be pleasantly surprised in interviews and remember that it's a 2-way street.

Design interviews are so much more pleasant (and imo higher signal) than coding interviews. I remember the sobering moment I interviewed with another company and was asked a question I myself had asked before 60 times before, having believed it falsely to be unique and clever. It's turtles all the way down.
Is it only within Canada?
Alternatively, throw some AI in there (https://krisp.ai/) :P
I was just thinking -- if there was a way to somehow be able to offer instantaneous discounts on "damaged" products, supermarkets could probably avoid throwing away a lot of "damaged" goods.

But then I realized people would just start damaging them themselves, in order to get the discount.
I agree that JIRA is probably not what you want as your user-facing bug tracker, but Bugzilla seems significantly less complicated, and the github issue tracker is easier still (though I think it is over-simplified for a user-facing bug tracker).

Someone above mentioned wanting free form bug trackers, but this runs into the problem of bad bug reports. You want bug reports that you can reproduce, or at least some artifacts such as crash dumps or stack traces that give you something to analyze. Short of that you're left guessing about what the problem is. Hence, bug trackers tend to ask people for more information up front so that there is less back and forth.
I could never do my work in a vacuum: the time I spent collaborating with the rest of the team (and with other teams) is huge. I'm actually pretty extroverted.

One key factor in switching jobs last year was the chance to work with a team of talented coders, instead of simply being the sole software engineer at my old company.

What I (and others, I think) react strongly to is the concept of workplaces where there are no private workspaces (or not enough private workspaces) for those times when solo work is what's required.
Hasn't this been open for a long time? I was there a few months ago and it was so bizarre. Like being at Disney Land or on a movie set, everything was perfect. I got pretty creeped out after spending the day there, that being said I could probably get used to working there, but could never deal with an open office.
Only the two most recent overclockable models (Devils Canyon variant of Haswell) have VT-d...

This means that previous *-K (multiplier-unlocked) models have VT-d disabled, right? So you have to choose between overclocking and VT-d.
Our government is using our own money to spy and undermine our tech companies. What exactly is it doing to ensure American companies are defended ? Protecting us from international thugs like China's Communisty Party is the primary duty of our government.
Episode synopsis: Professor Serguei Netessine (@snetesin) joined us to discuss his book “The Risk Driven Business Model” (co-written with Karan Girotra). In the discussion, he explained the theme of the book in coming up with the four key questions that will define any company, with examples of companies not just from the US but also in Asia. Finally, he also talked about his role as a business school professor in guiding the students and alumni from INSEAD Business School, Singapore and an angel investor within the various ecosystems from US to Singapore with interesting companies such as RedMart, TabSquare and EditSuits, which are forming the successful entrepreneurial footprint in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Ah nice catch, I misread the quote as 9k engineers. That said, after seeing their new offices, I'm not sure I can retract the general sentiment of my previous post.
The reflexive lay dislike for "chemicals" is a bit weird to me, because everything in this world is made up of chemicals. If anything, the ostensibly healthy foods like fruits and vegetables probably have more chemical complexity and heterogeneity than processed foods.

In terms of pollution and the presence of bad chemicals, it's nothing new. Burning any organic matter releases thousands of chemicals, and for all the romance around wood fires and stoves, those are much more polluting than most industrial processes today.

This isn't to invalidate the core concept of the article, which I can't really evaluate. It seems likely that some of the irritating illnesses people get are due to hypersensitivity to certain chemical agents that, in low doses, most people can tolerate. I just doubt that this is a new problem, given that we've always lived in somewhat of a chemical stew and our air and water have always harbored things that can kill us.
Everyone should learn to lift weights. It'll improve physique, health, and quality of life as you grow older.
I've always wondered if cutting off your nose would give you better stereoscopic vision. A huge amount of field of view is lost in each eye because of the nose. Don't really notice until you close one eye.
What would you say to a 23 year old semi-successful web programmer turned businessman that would like to eventually work on cool project like you do?

What's your framework for strategy and planning?

What do you see as the biggest opportunities you're choosing to not pursue?

Is there something you think should be done, but "the market" probably won't do it?
Url changed from http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/12/31/snoopsnit..., which points to this.
I don't program in Python, but I thought one of the contention points the community had was the syntax of slices and such (starting at one instead of zero, or one sire of the range being inclusive, I can't recall). If that's true, I would imagine that would encourage for some off by one errors. Then again, maybe it's not nearly as contentious as it sounded in a few comments.
It definitely looks better. I'm curious what the results would be if you eliminated all punctuation, but removing the quotes alone is a marked improvement.
Twitter has probably been given detailed information by the FBI about upcoming attacks being coordinated
> What are you suggesting by "the vote didn't matter?" Just because they might believe Trump's lies about the most recent election doesn't mean their emotions are justified.

I believe, they believe the election was rigged. Justified or not, it doesn't stop them from doing stuff.
Wouldn't that be amazing if the universe developed more and more characteristics as you look for them? Or even, that it's pushed to create something when you do?

Infinite playground.
Awesome! Have you considered doing another step further -- emitting native code? :) I am a little biased because I've only ever written a Lisp -> machine code compiler, not bytecode, but I'd like to write a bytecode compiler one day.
Talking with various friends and people among my network I can say that it varies so much.

Some people would prefer to never go in, some people (like myself) would prefer an office presence but no requirement to attend and others would prefer to eliminate remote work.

I find this interesting because we tend to extrapolate our own thoughts and preferences to the general public. And this is kind of why working together is sometimes hard! We all want/expect/prefer different things in a working environment.
My view is that job security is your ability to get your next position. Any given job can blow up on you for reasons beyond your control. You have to continuously push yourself so you can easily pick up the pieces if/when that happens.
But 2008-11 was a formative experience for me, so maybe I'm just bitter.

Same with the dotcom crash. Those with sharp technical skills soon found work with old-skool companies when the dotcoms evaporated. The others struggled for a long time after.
I went from ~3-4 days in the office to full remote during the pandemic.. and then we gave up our office space since it was going "so well". I'm not quite ready to quit, but the office had tons of perks -- nice cafeteria / nice espresso / gym / beautiful setting in SF / casual face-time with the leadership / coworkers in different departments sharing a common space.

Sure there was a commute involved, but I enjoyed getting out of the house. Hopefully things will be better post-pandemic and I'll get some of the social interaction by working out of coffee shops and from parks, but the quality of life improvement from changing from a "5 days/week in the office" to "3 days/week in the office" was substantially larger for me than going full remote.
i have all of that with a pi 4 with an usb 3.0 2tb disk connected..

Raspberry pis are so cheap that you can keep a spare one around just in case the hardware fail.. although i have 3 hosting different stuff in my network and does not fell the need to have a spare one.

i can get a new one by tomorrow cheaper then any used NUC out there and all i have to do is remove the sd card from one and put in the other, plug the usb disk and i am good to go.

my home servers are all pis, with the older turning 8y already, and have not had a single problem with them all this time.. likely my disk will die much sooner then the pi.
The final draft is available: https://www.ipa.go.jp/osc/english/ruby/

But the ISO document is mostly irrelevant, if we talk about Ruby implementations like CRuby, JRuby, or Rubinius.
Ah... very interesting. I didn't realize German did that. Thank you for answering my question!

If someone flew a plane into the White House to destroy the American government, is that anti-American?

If someone invites a mob to attack the Capitol and take the national legislature hostage, is that anti-American?
I'd like to see a language with the power of C++ without some of its complexity. As noted elsewhere in the thread [1], there are a lot of features that just aren't necessary for the combination of performance and expressiveness C++ offers; on the other hand, while C is simple and can usually offer equal or better performance, its lack of templates hurts its expressiveness badly.

But Java or JavaScript? If your performance needs are satisfied by those languages, great, but you're not the target audience - not today, anyway, now that those languages exist and are reasonably fast. But if not, good luck trying to beat the JVM into doing what you want. [2]

Actually yeah I do want to keep MY medial stuff in a directory ; but that doesn't mean that it's unsecured, unmanaged and not backed up. Ultimately all data ends up on the filesystem in one way or another if it's large enough. I would rather have a filesystem that I can trust rather than trying to fix/ignore that layer by building more layers on top of it.
Have you heard of Hiroo Onoda? He was stationed (or "hidden") as a guerrilla fighter on a small Philippine island, and his superiors told him to keep fighting until he received further orders. These orders never came so he kept fighting until 1974!

He dismissed all leaflets, newspapers etc. that were dropped for him as propaganda, since they showed Americans living with Japanese side by side, and if Japan had lost, all Japanese would have obviously died fighting. He published interesting, but not that truthfully ghost-written memoirs (he does not mention that he killed several islanders).

I completely agree. They've always felt unwieldy and annoying, emphasizing some bit of text from a few paragraphs ago that I had just read and was no longer related to what I'm reading now.
And there's no reason we couldn't have a deep learning system where the input data (images) included time-stamps and movement vectors, and it could be good both at easy image classification, and at choosing particular "head movements" like those you performed, to help resolve ambiguous cases.

Further food for thought: these ambiguous cases seem (do you agree?) to be very rare.
Oh yes. My bad.
Good points. Though I thought the J++ naming was precisely to avoid the Java TM.

Serious question: Anyone know of or building a "Tax Avoidance Service"? Maybe the only way to get these loopholes shut down is if its made available to everyone.
If you don’t like the solution to the problem, do you have a better solution? Or do you not think the problem is worth solving?

So far, however, places with these types of regulations are still prosperous and have significantly better lives for those who are disabled. The real-world results speak for themselves.
It’s a big world out there. Workloads in data science vs gaming vs hft vs packet processing vs web servers are all extremely different.

Even if you know about them, you need an expert in each to truly push the hardware to the real limits that get hit in the respective industry. The small differences between real implementations and simulated loads can drastically alter the performance characteristics and cause proc manufacturers to miss the mark.
I have to say that prior to being free of charge, it wasn't nearly so popular in most markets. Viber was king in my country and individuals still used SMS outside a "messaging of last resort" use case it has become.
I just deleted my Twitter account. I'm done supporting social media that co-opt giving him a platform.
You’re still able to employ critical thinking. I’d say the lack of critical thinking has led us here.
Sorry, I could have been more clear. It's another Trumpism. He's not saying these crazy things, but he's heard it from many other people. It's another way to promote conspiracy theories with plausible deniability.

Well, the fact that the site lists stats like number of court cases with evidentiary hearings blocked without a companion stat of cases allowed to proceed is evidence of bias.
