I've been beating this drum for a bit now at my company. My employer is extremely prestigious for it's main field but largely unknown in the software engineering world. It doesn't help that we're literally across the street from a handful of household name level software companies. And yet, a common complaint (I had it myself when I joined) was that people feel put off by the hiring process that we have. To make it worse, I know for a fact that this sentiment is spreading via word of mouth locally.

My point to the folks at my company is that we need to be improving our brand in the eyes of software professionals, not making it worse. To do this we need to present an image that's not just bog standard, mid-sized bureaucracy style hiring.
Florida’s not under lockdown.
Urdu extends Persian, not Arabic. Those two are very, very close but not identical IIRC (it's been 20 years since I studied Arabic). Disregarding pronunciation differences of the same character, there are a few different characters.

FTA: "Bit flips can happen for many reasons, beginning with cosmic-ray impact or simple hardware failure. A large-scale study[0] of Google servers found that roughly 32 percent of all servers (and 8 percent of all DIMMs) in Google's fleet experience at least one memory error per year. But the vast majority of these are single-bit errors—and since Google is using server CPUs and ECC RAM, this means the machines in question keep right on trucking."

Secretive foreign firm? Aren’t they Canadian? Not that Canada isn’t foreign but it’s basically impossible to read what you wrote without a hateful, distrusting tone that assumes non Americans are bad. And how are they secretive in any way that’s relevant to their ability to build and maintain verifiable machines?
That is wildly inaccurate. Apple should report for each of their apps the iOS data they are collecting on top of the application specific data. Apple has my location, my friend's location, my contact list, and stores all of my iMessages with the encryption key in iCloud.
You're referring to the media I presume?

It's interesting though....it seems like such an obvious question, doesn't it? Shouldn't at least some journalists have this question?

Or, imagine a scenario where this took place at a business owned by anyone in this forum - wouldn't they be asking some questions about wtf happened? Yet when it is the US Capitol, most people have no curiosity.

To me, there are at least two interesting aspects to this. The first is the conspiracy theory aspect (why was security so lax), and then the psychological/neurological aspect (why do so few people who are highly skilled in logic have no curiosity)?
It in fact takes it to amusing extremes, allowing you to mutate even the strings associated with symbols.

(setf (char (symbol-name nil) 1) #\U)

(Though I guess that could be taken as being the same thing as doing nonsensical pointer arithmetic in C -- you simply should know better.)

Hehe, over a week of time and it's still not there!

FWIW, somebody is working on an ejabberd module [1], and there's some discussion [2] on the <standards@xmpp.org> mailing list.

(And ejabberd's community edition supports the XEPs that are relevant to mobile clients too, BTW.)

> How can you not fall in love with that product/company?

For several reasons, mostly for destroying my Twitter feed in the name of "growth hacking."

What is a good resource to learn Lisp for an advanced (non Lisp) programmer? Most guides for most languages only cover declaration, simple functions and tiny applications. I want something that quickly goes through the basics and skips to advanced uses in bigger codebases.
It's difficult to divorce the ideas of revenue and benefit. We're not talking about open-source software here. We're talking about pharmaceutical products and getting those to market so that those in need can start benefiting from our advancements. We get our cut of the revenue when our commercial partners are successful. If our technologies can be scaled and make it through trials, then everybody wins. Patients have a safe treatment, the drug companies can recover costs and continue to spend on R&D, and our researchers get their share.
Also, we are not bureaucrats. We are former doctors and researchers ourselves. Many of us have worked for startups and are well-connected to the the VC world. We are better-equipped than most to identify partnerships that will lead to a successful transfer of technologies from lab to industry.
they only thing i can see being a good opportunity in Gaza is something like capsule hotels.

they'd be impossible to hide rockets in and when they nearby buildings are destroyed they'd get new customers.

Israel could be guaranteed the neutrality of those buildings so as to never be targeted.
Drupal 8 is being developed in the Symfony framework. You may have been exposed to a deployment running in development mode (app_dev.php in the URL is a good sign even if not a necessity).

Once the debug flag is turned off, Symfony won't check the freshness of the dependency container as well as templates, bootstrap caches, etc. (you clear the cache manually in production.)

As to what the Drupal devs may have added on top of the framework, I have no idea. Being a generic CMS, I presume their abstractions are a little bit overengineered.
yes. currently "Flock" is a working title; we looked for a name that developers can relate to while programming with the API (eg. to use "Flock.connect()"). Do you think that name would be too confusing for users because of the similarity?

we probably will change to a better name sometime soon. suggestions are appreciated :)
There's recently been a round of debate about whether the alt attribute for media (eg, <img alt="Foo">) should remain required or could become optional.

As I understand it, some web page creators say "some of our images don't have good logical, human-readable alt text, so why make us put in alt attributes with crappy made-up values", and other people argue that it is worth the extra effort to improve accessibility. (No doubt I've butchered both sides of the argument, but that's what I was able to take away from it.)

See http://blog.whatwg.org/omit-alt for an argument in favor of making it optional, and http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/articles/altinhtml5.h... for it being required, or http://juicystudio.com/article/requiring-alt-attribute-html5... for a list of pros and cons.

The two standards groups hosting the draft HTML specs appear to have different centers of gravity with regard to this issue, and to be making increasingly snippy comments back and forth about the other's handling of the dispute.
dupe from months ago
A cynical man might read "You should address being overqualified in your cover letter" as "Please compromise your salary negotiating position in return for, well, absolutely nothing." Maybe I'm being overly cynical.

We need to hear things like: “At this stage in my career, having a job I enjoy is more important to me than salary. I have no problem earning less than I have in the past.

Or maybe not!
Thanks for your feedback! I agree that using such a framework internally and focusing on developing games is definitely an interesting option.

OpenFeint looks pretty similar but has a primary focus on highscore and leaderboards, which is a free feature of theirs. I couldn't find out how much they charge for their turn-based multiplayer feature though. We are trying to make a good offer for small developers; for the first developers it looks like < $10 per month with around 150,000 connections.

For Android there are also a couple of highscore/leaderboard services such as ScoreLoop and ScoreNinja. We plan to provide interfaces to both and more.

Apple's GameCenter (see WWDC Session 404) will be a big "competitor" on the iOS arena, but they probably won't expand to Android or other platforms. We are starting off on Android and see where it goes from here. Flash is an interesting option too.

> Looking through your APIs, you currently have solved some basic authentication stuff. That's okay as a start but definitely not enough to attract skilled teams.

Yeah, I agree. Right now we have a MVP, and many ideas.

> But best luck! I suggest that you talk to experienced game studios. Find out what are the biggest pain points and try to provide solutions to those.

Thanks, and I agree this is the best approach right now.
Very nice Rails-like solution! I'm looking into breadcrumbs for my app, but unfortunately I haven't been completely good about nesting my resources.
Go for it, IMO all you have missed out on is a lot of pain and redundant learning :)

Imagine web design never having known IE5.5 ... it's like a dream...

The power available now compared to 10 years ago to create stunning applications with only basic programming knowledge is phenomenal. I do suggest you skip the web and go learn a mobile platform though, android development is a good (and free!) place to start as it's still relatively new so there are lots of people learning and great resources available.

What I meant is that Whole Foods carries just as much junk food as Safeway. There are entire sections of chips, cookies, candy, beer, cheese, ice cream and so forth. You can easily go in and buy nothing that's good for you. I do it all the time. Sadly, organic vegan potato chips aren't really any better for you than Ruffles...

Slightly off-topic. I've lived in the alternate universes of NYC and SF for the past 10 years, and for many staples, Whole Foods has the cheapest options. The canned house brand beans have almost no sodium and cost 89 cents a can. In comparison, Goya brand, the cheap option at Safeway, wloaded with sodium, cost about the same. Produce at WF and Safeway can be about the same, especially if you buy organic. It really depends on the season and location. The house brand seltzer is about the same as any house brand seltzer and much cheaper than Schweppes or Canada Dry. Safeway in SF is really only cheaper if you are loading up on junk food for the superbowl game. I don't really make any meat at home and I'm allergic to dairy so I don't know how meat, milk and cheese compares.

WF is actually FAR cheaper than any of the bodegas or small grocery stores in Brooklyn for any item. Buying fruit or vegetables in Brooklyn is usurious almost anywhere besides Fairway foods in Red Hook, or the Farmer's Market.
>"You keep using the word random. I don't think you know what it means, as the ordering is not random."

The word "random" has more than one meaning. I'm using it in the colloquial sense of lacking context or being unexpected. I obviously don't mean that there is a random number generator switching up the position of the entries. Instead, I mean that to the user, the order is unpredictable or unexpected.

As for the rest of your comment, I would like to remind you that you are arguing for a user interface that replaces a benign default action with a destructive default action. It is, of course, possible that I am the only person who was affected by this. It's just not very likely. Simply asserting—without evidence—that most people won't encounter the problem is not a useful response when somebody points out a problem.

And again, I very much doubt that buying the book is the most commonly used action in that list, since, as I've pointed out, you can't actually see the price of the book when you're in that menu. Again, I acknowledge that I might theoretically be in the minority, but I tend to not buy things when I don't know how much they cost, and I suspect that most people behave similarly.
It looks like the big cluster refers to computing, as it contains the english "Hacker (Computing)" and the german "Hacker". The small one should be the disambiguation cluster: "Hacker" (which is a disambiguation page) and "Hacker (Begriffsklärung)", respectively.

Hacker has probably an unambiguous meaning in most languages.

Personal anecdote after being a Tesla model 3 owner for a little over a year now: The car feels like a toy. The manufacturing quality is honestly quite poor. The electric motor is truly fantastic - that's the awesome part, and I'm a total convert to electric cars for the rest of my life. However, I'm selling my Tesla at the 3yr mark and going back to a German (albeit electric) car. I imagine my Tesla falling apart every time I hit a large pothole.
https://dj3d.io/ is very similar where you can run around and see other players/characters with a big screen nearby playing any youtube video. It's good way to co-watch a video remotely.
Well, not a recent one.

Basically, Western society got this crap out of the way a few hundred years ago. We still have "slut shaming" and other milder vestiges.
ReadTheDocs [1] is by far the best platform to have documentation. The simple reason: Everything gets into an Elasticsearch server (sponsored by Rackspace) which means you get wonderful full text search (and faceting).

Sure, but in this end of the world, machine domination, and terminator like scenario, they still need to convince us to use a webcam and a mic on the computer.
Perhaps, in 10-15 years electricity output may increase along with demand?
This is simply false. There have been plenty of companies running 100% remote based teams successfully for a while now. Further to that, some of the worlds best open source projects are all coded as a type of remote team. Any problems that there are, are from management not being able to make the jump in culture and harness remote tooling.
imo that’s oversimplified and drastically minimizes the difference between someone buying gamestop and someone buying a high dividend, high revenue stable company that’s been around 100 years. or he’ll even buying a bond
Now at level 3: Situation Critical:

"has declared an EEA 3. Energy conservation is critical. Rotating outages are underway to reduce demand on the electric system. We urge Texans to put safety first during this time. Traffic lights and other infrastructure may be temporarily without power. 01:25:40 150221"

https://twitter.com/ERCOT_ISO

"Rotating outages primarily affect residential neighborhoods and small businesses and are typically limited to 10 to 45 minutes before being rotated to another location."

The link worries me the most.

I mean, apparently the solution is social networks running a private list of "authoritative" news sources and making sure the feed is weighted towards them. The three listed have a clear left-wing bias. The alternative was Breitbart, and some other network I haven't heard of, but was probably included to try and balance it out.

So it's really not "transparency" since there's no objective news ecosystem quotient out there to be audited, its just the reverse of what was used to promote fake news, now its just promoting what they think real news it.
> choosing not to amplify the voices of people that have proven themselves capable of and prone to violence

Then why not ban Twitter as well? I could show you hundreds of tweets from little known left-wing activists inciting violence during the BLM protests. This double standard tells us that the rationale given for banning Parler is just an excuse. The real reason is that executives in these companies are doing what their most vocal employees and the liberal media are pressuring them to do.
The only value I get from Quora is in the questions, never the answers. The answers are always advertisements and usually advertisements from third-rate companies who wouldn't be anyone's first or second choice for answering the question.

But plenty of times I see a question on Quora and it sparks an idea or leads to questions of my own that I then seek answers for independently. It's kind of like browsing Pinboard's "recent" section. Lots of noise but once in a while it gives me the spark I need to find, learn, or create something new.
Most Creators aren't making money from YouTube, if they were then most wouldn't be on Patreon, have merch stores, or put ads in their videos. Pretty much every channel I subscribe to does one or all of those things.

Many creators, AvE springs to mind, are pretty candid about how useless YouTube monetization is to anyone who isn't a PewDiePie with multimillions of subscribers.
A data corruption might be also impossible to recover from. You could even only notice it after months of it happening, e.g. if your users spend months collecting data which is only analysed at the end of the year.
That's a very old article you're reading, so it's a bit out of date. Here are some more recent redo docs, including how to use it to build containers: https://redo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cookbook/container/
They should definitely drop Pinterest from Google Image Search results.
Hard to do when it seems that China is now the world's factory...
I think google should add a search filter option instead that is by default ignore paywalled/login requiring results, or not ignore them by default, but if the top answer is paywalled/login requiring show an option to do the same search without paywalled/login requiring results
> The students should have a fixed bed position, fixed queue position, fixed classroom seat, and fixed station during skills work, and it is strictly forbidden for this to be changed

My school was like that when I was growing up.

I'm not justifying what China is doing, and I didn't like it myself. But I find it weird to find it quoted here like that.
> However, first, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who prefers depression to sexual dysfunction, weight gain, or nausea.

All three of those can be depressing in their own right. In the past, I stopped what was effective treatment with certain drugs because of those side-effects.

If you look at the clinical trial data for vortioxetine, the nausea component was so bad that many people dropped out of the study altogether.
The operative word is "Should". And in fact that's how they make them, but they don't always stay that way.....
As I was reading it this is exactly what came to mind too.
Wow. Pretty shocked this was flagged after 110 points in less than half an hour and disappeared from the front page.

You may disagree but it certainly seems worthy of discussion.

I’m disappointed in whoever called this “flamebait” and who suggested this be flagged. Stopping discussion on a valid topic is not cool.
Maybe not computing, but cathode ray tubes were used as RAM in the forties: https://www.radiomuseum.org/forum/williams_kilburn_williams_...
I couldn't disagree more. I work for the government (in R&D) of all places (about as close as possible to the opposite of working for myself IMO) and I don't feel this at all. I have near-total control over my work environment. If I need something, all I have to do is articulate why I need it and I will get it or get a precise technical explanation of why I can't have it.
A .Net Core Qt Quick binding is not only possible, but very real: https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet

I think most KDE apps are neither written using Kirigami nor Qt Quick however, but plain old Qt Widgets (maybe I'm misinformed, but Kirigami doesn't look much like it's customizable by the desktop environment, which is something I love about KDE apps).
We're actually very happy with Comet and have been using it on v large projects (>50 researchers, 10k models). You can reduce the refresh interval and the amount of data points reported if things feel slow
I'm a recovering security guy.

When I listen to security people rant, I can see their points and it's a bit of fun, I like a good rant. But I get the impression that they're continuously discovering new and exciting ways that individual facets of individual pieces of software (and the processes around them) suck. All without ever accepting that the entirety of the software ecosystem sucks (and that they're rarely moving the needle on that front).

All software and the internet combined is a giant ball of mud that just grows and grows as more people add onto it. There's no architecture more than the strict minimum to keep the whole thing from falling apart the moment someone breaths too heavily near it. And that's not even including when commercial interests keep trying to design their chunks of the mudball in unique ways that make themselves more money at the cost of everyone else's chunk getting more complex.

Like everyone else adding mud, security wants to get in, hit their requirements, and get out. I just don't like the chip on their shoulder that nobody else is doing enough to fix the system throughout in a way that helps them achieve their goals with the least fuss.
The ownership is only a matter of social consensus, and those rights can be eroded through various avenues. Still, the consensus is perceived as having enough strength to give the NFTs value.
It’ll go down hopefully. ID4/Enyaq marks the first really mainstream and full size (only range compromised vs ICE, not size etc) from mainstream brands. Leaf, Bolt, Teslas were not that (a Tesla to replace a full size wagon or suv is the still elusive Y or the luxury X)

Whether 50k over 80k is worth if depends on incentives and taxes. For me the tax on the 50k one will be $1-2k per year and almost nothing on the electric. Then there is a $3.5k one time subsidy, slightly lower maintenance costs and fuel savings (assuming home charging).

It’s still a more expensive car to own but it’s not fair to compare sticker price. To me I calculate around a $10k extra cost over the 3 years I’d own the car. This is why I’m buying the ICE and will go for an electric next time. I also don’t want to be a tester for the first gen cars. Always buy the second gen.
I would imagine people would conflate "dumb tv" with privacy (sort of like "incognito"), when google doesn't actually say that.
Lets DD-WRT them
As a small pizza place, if I take a credit card payment, I must:

- have some way to process it. This requires hardware, often leased, sometimes owned.

- which requires an extra phone line, OR, internet connection

- and requires a service, and fees to be paid to that service (between 3 to 5% depending upon card).

- and, the money can be challenged (chargebacks), which requires loads of time to deal with... or you just loose the cash

When I take cash, I require... none of the above!

In both cases, I have a bank account, deposit fees, and more from the banks.

I'm guessing you're going to say things like "employees steal cash" or "fake bank notes" or some other such thing. Yet in 6+ years, we had one counterfeit $20.

But if not, what other hidden fees are built into cash?
Overwatch uses a rollback model but it’s not inherently or obviously better than other games.
I know at least one person who has their own personal family domain set up so that his family members can just create new email addresses specific to the vendor when shopping online (for example, 'amazon@familyrobinson.com' and 'bestbuy@familyrobinson.com' ). Then all their shopping emails just get routed to his domain. Being able to track which company leaked or sold an email address seems like another benefit in addition to catching all the marketing emails.
Thanks for the video I’ve not seen that one before. There should be a PR up on GitHub somewhere with my fixes (search kemalenver) and you should find it. We had some issues getting it merged. The work Robert and Tom did with it while at bloom was very cool.
Seems like you can also get housing in Japan for $14/day which is much less than you can in LA, to my knowledge.
