If you're already used to the JVM, it's easy: just use whatever you were using before (e.g. Maven) and everything works the way you expect it to.

If you're not, the documentation is missing as you say. Maven does just work, but the documentation assumes you're using Java.
I know patio11 is American, that wasn't the point.
Go buy some cheap dedicated servers from places like OVH and create your own fairly simple CDN/Hosting. You could easily chop that cost by 70%+

Or is there anything specific in S3 feature that you need replicated?
I have not played an FPS for over a decade, and am considering buying a PC for this.
When you see big, tall men with forceful personas running roughshod in positions of leadership, you realize that perhaps we should always remember that we are just primates that learnt how to use tools well.
Oh! You're the company who -- when I was requesting the non-consensual tome of personal data that Sift keeps on me (and basically everyone else in the US and other coutries) -- refused to accept my straight-faced selfie and instead specifically insisted over and over again that I need to look "joyful or happy" and try again.

I get (in retrospect, after research) that you're asking for a real-time face pose change for better identity verification, but do you realize how dystopian it feels when someone is fighting with an opaque bureaucracy and the process demands that they smile about it?

You should try expressing a rationale up-front so it's not so Orwellian.
Charge-backs are due to stolen card numbers, right? This problem of selling stolen card numbers doesn't exist with cryptocurrency.
> IMHO, I think Portal VR would have given a more immersive experience, along with less locomotion issues. However, I'm sure Valve has done their research.

This was covered in the interview video[1], Valve employees mentioned that they considered Portal but they thought that a game where you spend a significant amount of time jumping through portals at high speed would make you sick.

I understand your point.

Still, I think that these reviews were helpful to Apple by collecting the bitching in one central location. It kept the product team on their game.

Of course at some point, people stop trusting reviews in general and so maybe it's time to moveon.
> But it is not a Ponzi scheme. Last I checked, a local taxi company that is still in business wants $30 to take me into town, which is 5 miles away. Uber is $7.

The cost of that $7 are the billions they lose every quarter. It's not sustainable. They're a public company now, so to come up with fresh cash, they have to issue bonds and pay interest on them. How will they repay it when they aren't generating fresh cash through profits? They can't rely on VCs opening their wallets whenever they needed money.
I would agree with you if it wasn't easy to learn five languages as a child.
I've used ninja and gyp for building Android apps. It is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude faster than Gradle.
This relies on the assumption that there are things Joe wants that Bob can supply and vice versa. But as we climb higher and higher up the hierarchy of needs that may not be the case.

We are already very effective at keeping people alive and mildly entertained indefinitely. (Although we currently look down on these people as trash for not contributing to society). But I can envisage a time when meeting all my material needs requires almost no human input and meeting my emotional needs cannot be monetised.
Fred predicts Chinese companies will make a big entrance to the US market in 2015. At the same time, China restricts US companies in their markets (Gmail blocking being the latest example)

Why do we (in America) allow this asymmetry? Is it a mistake to give Chinese companies an open door?

[SEEKING WORK] Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Remote OK - Relocation OK.

I start working with open source at age of 17, always related to Python and Web, I keep doing it until today, Now 12 later I had 7 years of experience as freelancer, I had worked with several startups regarding several topics. I'm self driven, like improving teams with my participation, I have worked in all the levels from sysadmin to frontend to marketing.

I Love Django (I'm the maintainer of the defacto thumbnail app for Django http://github.com/mariocesar/sorl-thumbnail) since 0.96, I had also worked with Pylons and Flask, in my early days I worked with PHP doing ERP's and Wordpress development, the more recent years I had been involved in team management and reducing complexity on existing projects and make sure projects can scale in the technical aspect and also HR, with the time I'm being know as a problem solver for complex scenarios.

I work with http://humanzilla.com for Team and Human Talent management, and half of my time doing freelancing for startups.

Python, Django, Ansible, Linux Administration, AWS, Heroku, Docker, JS, Less, Git, Mercurial, among others are my daily tools for my goals regarding Software Development, Software Architecture, Training and Management.

I'm always open to talk, even if it's not about job. I had found great people in HN in previous post like this, I'm glad that even I don't get a gig I was able to be helpful and get new friends and contacts just by having a friendly conversation.

Even after the Sony hack, people don't realize things like their work email isn't really theirs, or email isn't private. If that wasn't a good enough catalyst, I can't imagine what it will take to cross this threshold.

The contract doesn't/shouldn't be for a meaningful amount of work. It should be for the smallest amount of work that will allow you to evaluate the candidate. It doesn't even have to be for 'real' work - it could be a problem that has already been solved, or something that you think could be better but isn't a priority.

The point is, there's no reason for it to be a genuine contract position, and every reason for it to be concise enough for them to fit in during their off hours. After all, you are going to have to look at it too :)

And they do have the time for it: after all, they are making the time for interviewing.
What product? they're trying to consolidate their login system across products, and you happen to get a social profile with the bundle. It's not like you even have to use it or be aware of its existence, if you don't need it.
Not compatible with Firefox. Too bad.

Is there such thing? I doubt it, unless you're interviewed by someone you already know well.
Nothing. But if he is going to write C in C++, then what is the point of writing C++? Especially sticking to C gives substantially increased flexibility in terms of language bindings, embedded usage etc.

I've probably spent more years writing C++ code than C code, but I'm all with him on this - if what you need to do for whatever reason don't need/benefit all that much from C++ when accounting for all constraints, then choosing C as being the lowest common denominator between other languages is a very good choice for a library.

edit: ah, just saw that not all major browsers are supported, which makes it less useful in an immediate sense for me. But still an awesome little product that shows what's possible in a web browser (and hopefully all web browsers soon).

edit edit: Would you mind discussing what it would take to make it work in other browsers? Is it not possible, or were there just too many browser-specific prefixes/workarounds required to make it a worthwhile effort for this initial version?

5 years later: the future of Web is HTML over WebRTC.
Per Monday’s press conference, all of the EDL cameras and the microphone were commercial off-the-shelf products. They were lightly modified to reduce the likelihood of, say, electronic components off-gassing, but were not mission critical. They were simply put there to prove a point that, hey, if we want to do something cool and can’t justify the cost of bespoke hardware, we can try to use non-space rated hardware so long as we do no harm to the spacecraft or its mission objectives. I’d say the fact that all the cameras worked, and that the microphone came online during initial surface operations checkout (recording some very cool sounds from the surface), meant that the experiment was a rousing success.
my solution to version changes in a rest api is to sent a version header with every response, the app checks it and if it does not match reloads the page, thus loading the new js.
If your server is done 20 times in 10 min, replace your incompetent eng, ops, service provider.

A feature that protects from ridiculously unlikely problem is no feature. It is over engineering
The bezel around the display is magnetic-attach and we'll be offering a range of colors for it.
I don't think Bram gets paid to maintain VIM, so you get what you get. Not to say that it did not take work to produce a patch, but it's also a lot of work to review and merge them.

What the hosting site could do is provide a way for users to build a customized image with selected contributed patches. This would allow the patches to be used without having to add more work to the primary developer.

For those wondering: Stingray appears to be "a once-secret cellphone surveillance device distributed to federal, state and local law enforcement," taken from the first line in the article.

So a page fault
I realize that most of this post is an angry overreaction, but we went through a similar issue with a large Facebook ad campaign recently. Our ads were being flagged constantly for something like "promising unlikely results", something that I'm sure is normally reserved for penis enlargement and get rich quick schemes. Our ads were for a launch promo where we offered a free gift with purchase. Somewhere along the lines Facebook equated our free gift with promising results that are not guaranteed.

The worst part wasn't that they mistakenly blocked our ads, but that they continued to do it. My best guess is the campaign, landing page, or our advertising account was "flagged" which made subsequent ads more likely to be blocked. We changed and tested everything in the ad and the landing page, completely rewriting it and not even mentioning the free gift. Every time we would get blocked for the same reason, then our appeal would come back "sorry, we didn't mean to block your ad."

We spend a lot of money on Facebook ads, over $20k/mo. As much as people like to belabor Google for not providing product support, when you spend money with them (AdWords) their support is top notch. Facebook has a long ways to go in that regard.
They could also strip the https and serve everything over http through the firewall. The fact that the firewall exists is accepted in China so I don't see why they couldn't pull that off too.

Fortunately we germans don't have these kind of problems (yet.)
It's been on the back burner for a year due to starting a family, but my side project is a still|animated meme captioner.

https://ultime.me

I was frequently annoyed at the lack of middle ground between easy purpose-built image captioning tools (as opposed to general image editors like Gimp), and full blown video editors just to make animated memes.

I intend to use some of the extra home time to improve the UI and maybe start adding social features and content import from external urls/clipboard. The user experience is pretty rough now.

Not sure I want to host user generated content and deal with DMCA for a hobby project.

It's not open sourced (yet), but the fun facts are that it's Clojure/Clojurescript w/ Rum as a react wrapper for the frontend.
Have to say - Clojure(script)'s immutable data model is a dream for handling undo/redo in content editing. It also makes the path to a multi-user editor a'la Google Docs pretty simple.

Video encoding to animated gif & webm uses:

https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js

It's an almost completely a client side app - the video encoding happens in browser so the user content remains private.

SaaS / "web app" represents a shift in business model. There's arguably a lot more money to be made by renting access than by selling software

Indeed. All the foundational common ground between all languages in Unix is made for C. I'm talking about the system call interface. All general purpose languages will have a wrapper for this interface, but the main documentation is made for C.

Besides that, libraries tend to be made in C as well. That's because if it's in C, it's easy to make it available for other languages. Most general purpose languages will have some type of "foreign function interface" to call on C code. That means that the main documentation for these libraries will be for C as well.
MMKV uses mmap to keep memory synced with file, and protobuf to encode/decode values, making the most of iOS/macOS to achieve best performance and uses c++
A terrible 'feature' of CarPlay is asking by voice to have an app launched, and having Siri reply "I'm sorry, I can't do that while you're driving." It's because the app doesn't have a CarPlay implementation. It's an app that just needs to be running in the foreground do that I can get into the company parking garage. Now, I've had to take my eyes off the road (I do this at any red light that I hit between the interstate and the deck - but it still moves my focus...) find the app on the phone and tap it.

I'm not saying that crises aren't predictable — I'm pointing out that institutional failure isn't always a leading indicator (as in OP's argument).
In Texas when you are filling information to your RETAIL provider, you can notify them that you have health equipment that relies on electricity. I do not exactly know what kind of actions they take -- when you provide that info but I am assuming they are legally required to make certain accommodations.
The thing that really grinds my gears about all of this as a roboticist, is that as a community we had a pretty good culture of taking safety seriously. In 2014, the idea of unleashing onto the public admittedly beta-quality autonomous car software, on a platform that eschews industry best practices was unfathomable.

Then came Autopilot and later FSD, and Tesla threw the concept of safety was thrown out the window. An autonomous Tesla decapitated a man in 2016, and Tesla continued unabated! What actionable steps did Tesla take as a result of that incident to make sure it never happens again. Even today in 2022 you can find videos of Teslas on public roads just completely failing to detect and colliding with stationary objects. The culture at Tesla seems to not care this is happening, as it continues to happen.

It used to be that when your robot did a single thing wrong or caused the most minor of injuries, let alone it killed someone, then you engineered the hell out of it and implemented safety protocols to make sure that failure mode would never happen again. Not at Tesla, apparently.

I get the utilitarian argument that maybe self driving cars could reduce traffic accidents in the future by being better than humans on average. But safety doesn’t happen unless you really work at it, with intention. Using your customers to beta test your 2 ton robots on public roads is not a safety-focused mindset. Tesla is not a company that values safety first when it comes to their autonomous car project.
The feud is very much real and exists especially if you've ever been to South East part of Korea. It is not at all on par with white supermacist but it's a tradition of segregation that is regardless of how advanced or modern Korea is exist in some way or another. It may not be visible on the open but people from South East openly discriminate people from South West. The two regions were separate kingdoms couple thousand years ago and the beef still remains.

You can see clearly the disparity in income and economy between South West and South East which reflects the economic policies of the past. It may not be as explicit than before but you can see that there's a reason why South West voted for the 10 year for a leftist administration in Korea that brought much danger to the security of republic of Korea as a result of practicing sunshine policy.

The website is well known in Korea called ilbe.com and it's extremely popular right wing views gaining the attention of mainstream. IT has many entertaining articles written in non-honorifics and ton of swear words which is quite a departure from the mainstream media. It's common to see people spreading their hatred for Jeolla (South West) region and it's people often referring to them as some really awful stinky fish dish from that regioncalled Hong-uh (홍어, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocellate_spot_skate) and pictures of former presidents Kim Dae Jung and Roh Moo Hyun have become a sort of meme.
It takes the groups and arranges them as the columns of a table. Whereas groupby allows you to operate on this table in the vertical direction, the full pivot table allows you to also operate on it horizontally.
So let me get this straight -- I assume the Nook Color has a backlit LCD display instead of e-paper?

Does this mean that manufacturers are giving up on e-paper already (after years of telling us it was so much easier to read than a backlit screen)? I must say that I've spent a lot of time staring at my old-school Nook by now and I'm not really convinced that it's any easier to read than an iPad screen.

Shackling accountability is no way to run a team.

That being said, there's value in ICs contributing to a roadmap, if they're trusted. Being a 'leaf node' and closer to customers can make people more in touch with problems and solutions a business could implement (at least, that's the theory). But in most organisations the customer and business problems are well-removed from engineers / designers leading to lower quality insights from those people; but in either scenario it always seems like management is out-of-touch.

I as an IC would personally be fine having a bit of 'skin in the game' if the risk:reward ratio was more favourable, but that does seem rare at modern corporates.
Photoshop is superior in comparison to Gimp, agreed. But don't get started with Microsoft Office. If you want to beautiful typesetting, a simple LaTeX environment would suffice and plenty are available on Linux.

First load or was it already loaded in your session?

Took 21 seconds on my 6 year old laptop with an i3 and 8GB of RAM. No SSD though, just a 5400rpm HDD. The second load was about 4 seconds though.
The 5th too is very simple. It is 1.5x the root. So the the 8th of 440Hz is 880Hz, and the 5th is 660Hz. Western musical theory is amazingly fractional
> once you subtract "Latino Culture" and "Black Culture" and "Asian Culture" from "American Culture" why is it so offensive to call whatever residual that's left that's only associated with non-blacks/asians/latinos "white culture"?

Perhaps because on the one hand you still need to subtract so many other immigrant cultures (Italian American, Polish American, Irish American, etc.), and on the other the "melting-pot" residue is still a set of (largely regional) subcultures that don't have all that much in common (California Surfers, Utah Mormons, Mountain Westerners, Texan Cattle Ranchers, Minnesota Nice, New England Yankees, Deep Southerners, etc.), and if you subtract those what's left over is a fiction that mostly exists only in media and advertising, like the Standard American Newscaster accent that no-one actually speaks natively, although you might make a case for the existence of a generic Suburban American culture that, if it can be said to exist, only came into being after World War II.
