Vancouver includes Vancouver, WA and Vancouver, Canada. Otherwise nice little mashup.
Location: Greece

Remote: No

Willing to relocate: Definitely (Europe)

Technologies: Modern C++, LLDB / LLVM, C, JavaScript

Résumé/CV: https://www.vangelists.com

Email: contact@vangelists.com

Just finished my Master's in Computer Science and Engineering, in the context of which I created a Proof of Concept for Live Reverse Debugging in LLDB (https://github.com/vangelists/llvm-project).

I am interested in opportunities in compilers, debuggers, managed runtimes or other interesting C++ projects, although I am willing to explore new applications and languages (especially Swift and possibly Rust).
> Bitcoins are volatile, but if you wanted $10 of bitcoins to stay $10 of bitcoins, you could make deals with people to help you do that. Bitreserve and Coinapult Locks are two products that are dedicated to making those deals. You send them $10 of bitcoins, and they’ll give you $10 of bitcoins (minus their fee) whenever you need it

Another way to do this is to keep your $10 under your mattress, or even in a bank. Both approaches have the benefit that nobody will charge you to do it. The latter, in fact, may even pay you to do it.
Going from what the author says, Apple have asked that they try to settle it through the third-party developer first before getting Apple involved. But:

> Unfortunately since the developer is acting maliciously and mostly likely without any intention of ever responding to us, we have no way of settling this matter through that channel.

Basically, it sounds like they just decided -- without even trying -- that it wouldn't work and that they want Apple to do all the hard work for them.

I mean, I kind of understand if you're giving Apple a 30% cut of all your revenue that you'd expect something in return, but this sounds like a bit of an overreaction from the developer to me.
I didn't know Hugo supports Org-mode and that's an interesting feature! Does Jekyll support that too? or Maybe other static site builders?
> after witnessing you researching something to buy.

Amazon has never done that (different prices for different customers), their prices are the same for all users.

They didn't raise it because of anything you personally did.

Their prices just go up and down all the time randomly.

Leave the item in your shopping cart and check it daily (or more) and watch the price bounce around. You can use this to your advantage if you are not in a rush and wait for a good price. You can also use camelcamelcamel as a price tracker.
I like how mentioned this fact. K12 education, church, prison, and re-education through labor are all systems that hold certain people 'captive'.

I've always felt arguments like "the parents can choose not to send their kid to their" or "the captor's intention was good" to be insufficient. No matter how that changes, the information/data flows from the captors to the 'captive' person's mind does not change much.

At the same time, it might not be possible to eliminate 'captive' information systems, especially if we loosen the definition of 'captive'. For example, you can pretty much only consume news in the language you know so you are held captive. However if you consume only English news, then you're worldview will be biased. English news only covers the more sensational international stories and journalists, who mostly have good intentions, are biased as well.

I ended up rambling a bit, but the main point is that axiomatic arguments don't solve the problem and the lines between good/bad are too 'fuzzy'. Practical solutions around info/data flow and a good understanding of how it makes the lives of 'captives' and others in the world might have more potential

> The business scaffolding around it is just wrong, I agree with that. It should be handled by non-profits or state-run organizations. You register a company, you get a signing key. Validation and authentication should be done at source, not across an ocean by a 3rd party outsourced support calling a phone number published in 4th party business directory. This is as ass-backwards as it gets.

+1

I would love if my local Chamber of Commerce could give me at a reasonable price the code signing key. It's supremely weird they have to power to create the legal entity but for the little code signing key I need to find somebody in a far away country to do it.

I don't expect such a desire for state-run organizations from people in the US, but I'm surprised the whole of EU is fine with the status quo.
They only do it to the radicalised children? Think about what you are saying.
By the time we changed the title, the comments were making that quite clear.
As a non-US based user, I uninstalled Amazon's iOS app yesterday because of this exact behaviour. Often a US-only deal will get posted on a local forum here in New Zealand. The link for the deal will go to the Amazon US store. If you click that link without the app, you are taken straight to the listing where you can review the price, shipping options etc.

However, if you have the iOS app installed, it opens the app when you click the link, loops twice (never loads the listing) and lands you on the Amazon US homepage. I've tried everything to stop this behaviour (changing regions, loading in logged out state etc), but to no avail.

It finally frustrated me so much yesterday (especially in the lead up to black friday) that I outright deleted the app to stop those links being captured by the native application.

It feels so liberating to click a link and get the desired result.
We really need a feature to block websites from Google search.
It's impartial and a common thing on Twitter/Facebook/YouTube.

If a Google search engineer reads this, please think about it.
children are sent to the camps for praying in public, or wearing a hijab according to the cbc article, which is clearly not extremely radical.
And Vichy was french. That's meaningless.
Keep in mind that evolution works primarily at a subspecies level, so any mutations which benefited that lineage at the expense of the species as a whole would tend to be favored.
Well the consistency argument seems even sillier; that would imply that we should change all English pronouns to their plural form just because we already did it three hundred years ago.

Now this might just be our personal opinion, but we happen think that this would sound pretty silly.
It is also nice when different browsers interpret the spec differently. If both Chrome and Firefox had a feature named the same, but requiring different number of arguments, it would be a problem... Eventually it will get sorted out (hopefully).
It was the first technology I learned for database driven web development in 2003 and I got plenty done with it at the time. It really made it easy to get started since it was simple to write and understand. But when I changed positions and stopped working in a "ColdFusion shop", I learned PHP and Python, and haven't seen a need to check back in to see how ColdFusion is doing over the past 10 years. I began freelancing, and people often want things like Wordpress and Drupal customizations, or for you to install a bulletin board, or want you to know Django or Flask. The demand for ColdFusion developers just isn't there so that knowledge has mostly been erased from memory.
WebKit Nightly is only a wrapper to make Safari use newer build of WebKit, you still need Safari 5 installed for extensions.
