That was just a side-effect of organizational stupidity. The guy they put in charge of "social" was 100% committed to the real names thing and also dedicated to the internal turf war of either taking over or shutting down any product that seemed to have "social features". So youtube comments temporarily became just a foreign feature of Google+, rendered out of context. After they showed that bozo the door, youtube went back to their old comments system.
I feel like Matrix P2P would be a great idea for decentralized communication mechanism.
Even as an avid Hacker News user, I wouldn't tailor an app download to save bandwidth/space. Both of those are abundant.

I would turn the point around and start from here. GoogFaceSoft is great comp low stress environment only close to headquarters.

In most other places GoogFaceSoft engs are the guy the headquarter outsourced to, and that is a dramatic shift in stress/job satisfaction.

Bottom line, talent is everywhere, if the product is solid investors will find you; if the startup is focused on angels/exit instead of great products then, well, that's why people want no part in it.
But that's why they don't hire in Europe.

The model is changing slowly but keep in mind that TMobile, Verizon, Sprint, AT&T are still incentivised to heavily push the iPhone due to multimillion units they've essentially preordered when partnering with Apple

(NB the numbers were wrong, and iPhone demand and growth keeps increasing, but the underlying business relationship is as described)
Giving away access to my Gmail account just so I can visualise my Uber rides is a bit too much I think!
I don't think that is relevant to the post, but from what I know of Netflix they use Java and increasingly Scala. I would guess Scala for Spark; the API is a lot nicer.
Author here, the primer is still in the draft phase but feel free to share your feedback / make pull requests!
The chance that a small nonprofit with so much traffic is not leaking/providing data to the feds is astronomically slim imho, there are so many actors who would love to there hands on it. Maybe it thwarts some inteligance services but not those with unlimited resources.
Firefox has something like 8 million lines of C++. Stylo replaced about 150,000 lines of that, and WebRender is more of a fast path than a true replacement of anything.

Both of those rewrites came with massive speedups due to the amount of parallelism they were able to use, which was impractical in C++. Other parts of Firefox are not as critical or parallelizable, hence why they aren't being replaced any time soon.

You seem to be quite aggressively misinformed, if you are not deliberately trolling.
If this code was _not_ in production, they had known vulnerabilites: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/commit/3432529f9c...

There is no interpretation of these events that's a good look, especially for a platform focused on privacy.
I found https://www.clozemaster.com/ only yesterday, as an alternative to Anki.

It has lots of languages, lots of prebuilt cards, audio already added, multiple-choice OR free text input, a generous free plan, a lifetime paid plan, a web, Android, and iOS app, and retro appeal.
As someone you quoted: Take every problem you have with Kubernetes, multiply by 10x to 100x, and you have DC/OS. It's all perspective :)
I went for the most morally neutral analogy I could find. Systems and models are not inherently good or bad - what gives that quality is how we use them.
> Rocket lake being backported to 14nm is still not a good sign for actual production volume

I'm genuinely having trouble understanding what you mean by this.

Rocket Lake being backported to 14nm means that 10nm can be allocated in greater proportion toward higher-priced chips like Alder Lake and Ice Lake SP. Seems like it would be good for production volume.
Programming is moderately difficult for beginners. Learning the tools, syntax, idioms, libraries... it's a lot to swallow.

Programming is nothing compared to architecture though. Knowing what you want to build, in a way that meets the requirements, is a very time consuming task for all but the simplest of problems. Once you have that, and the aforementioned background in programming, the remaining work isn't very difficult.

If someone is doing the architecting for you and defining the work sufficiently, programming isn't hard. It's not easy, but it isn't hard.
Base64 is a two-way hash function
Youtube encodes and stores videos in several resolutions, for example their 720p h.264 encodes are high@3.1.
The worst part is that, though some comments are useful (and point out holes and inconsistencies in the "real" documentation above), a lot of the time a large chunk of the comments are misleading or flat out /wrong/.
That’s bad. Using any Google product will be the same experience, simply because you are not the client, advertisers are. I am sure there are fine people working on the ship called Google, but I don’t like where it is heading.
This is useful enough that I wonder why you chose not to just map it to *. Is there a reason you did not?
Because anyone who is smart or has competent security teams have been looking to drop them like a sack of potatoes. I work with a ton of customers that have/had SolarWinds and the general sentiment with them is that they are ripping it out and replacing with alternatives.

I would be willing to bet that the majority of SolarWinds sales are relationship based, not based on technical wins.

It is extremely dangerous for a company that is based on relationship sales to require their economic buyers spend a non-insignificant amount of political capital defending bad practices. TBH most buyers aren't going to stick their neck out for them unless they have a really good reason. Even then, security teams and legal teams might poo-poo the purchase and for most people in IT it is easier to find an alternative.

Being reliant on relationship sales rather than technical wins is not by itself a bad sales or growth strategy... But as a company who has taken that approach, you have to ensure you don't do stupid stuff, or the stupid stuff isn't something that requires people to stick their neck out for you on.

I imagine this is why institutional investors are shorting $SWI more so than anything. Their customer churn is going to probably not be pretty and they are going to have to work really hard and hope that in 2-3 quarters people have forgotten about it.
Not to mention the price - you can easily buy it for $10, and it's really blazing fast. I wouldn't use it for complex documents though.
Definitely makes sense. Thanks for the advice
You don't need to grant the Clubhouse app access to your contacts to use it. ATM, that's only needed to invite people.
The underestimation of the offense is done to ridiculous extents. The NSA pwned most of the world and exfiltrated data for years before it ever came to light (from one of their own!), yet all non-technical and even some technical people talk about security as if it's a bit you turn on or off. Unless you intend to spend as much money and resources on defense as USA/Russia/China does on offense, it's an uphill battle you will only seldom win. And you only have to lose once to lose almost everything.
Nowadays absolutely, at least for groceries. Then again I don't live there any longer :) Back when I was a kid? Not so much.

Just looked it up. They were actually allowed to open from 7a.m. but at least where we lived, the regular shops in the city would only open at 10a.m. Shops were allowed to open until 6:30p.m. and not sure how long they actually did.

We only had one car and lived too far from a large grocery store that would carry everything and at proper prices to walk/bike for larger volumes. So we only did them when my dad was home and could drive us (mostly - I do remember having to bike there from time to time).

But usually it meant doing it on Saturdays. Shops were allowed to open until 2p.m. on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. We definitely made use of the "long Saturday" - one Saturday per month, they were allowed to open to 6p.m.
It's not a question of smartness. Take a working example of code and make it do something else. I'm sure I took some bar chart code from one of Bostock's examples and used that as a base. After a few hours of struggling with it (and with freakin' Javascript) and trial and error debugging, it became clear to me what d3 wanted me to do. Then it was easy.
I remember those days when availability of cheap PCs enabled average people to write SW to run their businesses. I'm not very nostalgic about those days though. What else I remember: expensive SW on stacks of floppies, lots of incompatible network HW and protocols, crashy early versions of Windows and MacOS. I did love OS/2 when it came out, though, maybe I was the only one...

I think this is the golden age right now, you can still experience coding on small systems like microcontrollers or you can go up to any kind of OS and HW at practically no cost.
I think that's actually a ceiling fan "swamp cooler." Clever!
Some of those lands you refer to are leased for for the fiber optic conduits. Lvl3 has 12 ducts on one side of a US Highway not far from me (it also has a state highway number). Lvl3 is paying a periodic lease (probably annually) for the right to be there.

most of it only applies to a few classical hard sciences - math, physics, chemistry, engineering

a lot of it doesnt even apply to CS in my opinion
This advice has been my experience building my app. I have a CS degree, but I never did much programming after - I went more into product management.

However, now that I am building my own app, I have forced myself to learn the entire stack (from Rails to JS and beyond).

I sometimes look at other people's code and compare what they did in 1 line, to what I did in a block of 10 lines and wonder when I will be able to write elegant code like that. But I have learned to console myself, that at the end of the day, for this first release, it doesn't matter what the code looks like. Just so long as it isn't slow and the user has a good experience (i.e. things behave the way they expect it to), then I am doing a good job.

The perfectionist in me hates leaving it like that (I want to refactor every chunk until it is completely optimized), but the realist in me knows that I only have X amount of time to complete.

Thanks for posting this, because now I don't feel like I am doing a major disservice to my users by programming like the n00b I am.
It's because they are shutting down iTunes Connect (the site through which developers manage their apps on the store) from December 23rd to the 29th. Here is the e-mail I got:

"iTunes Connect will be temporarily shut down from Thursday, December 23 to Tuesday, December 28 for the winter holidays. Access will resume on Wednesday, December 29.

During this shutdown, iTunes Connect will be unavailable. In addition, app releases and pricing changes which are scheduled to take place during the shutdown will be handled as follows:

* All releases will not appear in the App Store until Wednesday, December 29. This includes apps scheduled to appear on the App Store for the first time as well as updates to existing apps.

* Pricing changes will cause the app to become unavailable for purchase until Wednesday, December 29, at which point the app will become available at the new price. Please check to ensure you have not scheduled any price changes during this time.

Regards,
The iTunes Store team "
Hypotheses:

I am wondering if these 'hit pieces' are more like sermons of The Church of the NYT. Deriding sinners and their evil ways. They are not meant to reflect an objective reality, but hyperbole to act as a cautionary tale with enough plausible sounding details to allow the prefrontal cortex to accept them. A modern This way there be dragons Or Reefer Madness. The NYT has found it's tithing flock and they are pandering all the way to the bank.
I don't think you measure system speed by summing up cores clock speed.

Also your question can not be answered anyway because nobody have access to XBOX One systems
Some are pretty terrible though. At the bottom of the list there's a link to "the rocki whore picture show". Why would anyone want to create that in the first place? (apart from satisfying the "there's porn version of it on the internet" rule)
This is really big. We might now upgrade to the next Roku with Netflix running in Chrome on Linux, fast, now an Intel CPU device, really cool.
Having public places like schools, libraries and even the local Starbucks just have a stack of Bluetooth peripherals and screens whilst you carry your own computer in your pocket would suit so many people.

Laptops are great but clunky and not really solving the issue of computing without lugging it around. Tablets are great but are exceeding difficult to work on at the moment.

This will be a fine middle ground.
And your point is? (Not trying to be mean at all) I agree, but I'm not sure what's wrong with it. Life is a series of input/output interactions, why shouldn't the internet mirror that?
I was happy to pay the $30, FWIW
Thanks, I'm passing the link and the information to my uncle right now (and I'll ask him for the details of his proposed solution :) )

Did you have any problems with only hearing the language and not being able to see it?

No. But I forgot to mention that Behind the Wheel is strictly a "conversational" program. I seriously doubt if I could read Victor Hugo after going through it. But in everyday conversational situations, the repetition and training, like weight lifting, paid off nicely. The conversation flowed, almost effortlessly. I even surprised myself, finding the right word (except the time I ordered a sidewalk sandwich) and properly conjugating all the verbs. Pretty cool.
why would NBC sell those domains? What's 1 million dollars to them vs the potential of a memorable/great domain (something I'd say is pretty rare)
Seems like an over-simplification to me. An idea without execution is worthless. But execution without an idea is pretty worthless too.

Even if I mastered execution, I couldn't sell a product that costs you $100 and punched you in the face every time you used it, because it's a shitty idea.
How does the XSS Auditor work?
So why didn't they offer to hand off my question to someone so they can specifically research my situation and get back to me with the results?

They told me the only way to find out was to actually sign up, then maybe it would work or maybe it wouldn't. There was no way to get an answer in advance.
Yes, that would be the perfect solution to this problem. No sarcasm. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. Probably millions of sites now that don't have the <link> tags, and you'd have a torrent of complaints as a browser vendor if you tried this.
>Note that most sociopaths are living in society without causing harm to others,

I disagree. IMO sociopathic behavior is often harmful, just not always in a directly obvious way.
Oh, definitely. Nationalism is a problem everywhere. I think it stems from sheltered lives and closed-mindedness. The best thing we can do is to tear down the unbelievably fierce restrictions on immigration that exist in literally every first world country. You shouldn't have to be extremely lucky (land an ESL teacher spot), rich (degree/investor), or marry someone to live abroad in the 21st century. We should have open borders.

I don't mind your post and wasn't trying to be a contrarian. Just that I really do worry about this issue there.

But being honest, even after having studied Japan since high school, I still barely understand some parts of their culture. For one example, 遠慮 (enryo) is a concept I'll never comprehend. They say it shows humility to decline at first; but to me, it feels like it turns the tables and makes the gift-giver feel like the one that has to forcefully impose. It would make me feel bad to beg someone to accept my gift. I'm willing to go pretty far to "act like the Romans", but this is one thing I couldn't bring myself to do.
I love these stories. Is there a general software site with shorts like this (kinda like http://www.folklore.org)?

This was pretty good writing too. I was able to easily imagine what it would be like working at 10pm for Microsoft in the 90s. I begin to wonder if the characters knew if they were shaping the internet. Id like to read something about the first iPhone's Safari team. I bet they had to jump through major hoops to build that browser.
Recently completed MITx 600.001 which had a fair share of lectures along with a textbook. The lectures were mostly just a rehashing of what was presented in the book but there was something about watching the code run that really made a difference. I also think that having "finger exercises" after a short video explaining a concept is quite helpful. Although it seems that could easily be achieved in book format as well. The live feedback after submitting code was what helped me the most.

At the same time as this I took another course on a different website (coursera) Cloud Computing Concepts Part 1 which was entirely lecture based. The topic was extremely interesting to me and I have moved on to the next course in the series but I do find the all lecture format with quiz based homework to be less than ideal. I try to make up for the lack of a textbook by reading the documentation of concepts covered each week but often times it is hard to pick the most essential material.

The edx platform is really stunning in terms of engagement and feedback from a student perspective. It is easy to imagine a course presented on it with little to no lecture if a strong companion text was provided.

Agreed, I've bought several games from Steam since it became available on Linux, the process is easy and most of the games have been great.
>As an example, the national ABC/WaPo poll on November 3-6, 2016 claimed a +4% Clinton result, with a 2% margin of error

The end result was roughly Clinton: 48%, Trump: 46%, which is right at the margin, not "far outside".
It's a change in material lifestyle. We know from studies, collective experience, and numerous spiritual teachings that happiness doesn't actually come from that form of pleasure, but it remains desirable and hard to change regardless.

(For my part, I've got quite a thing for the noncaloric sweeteners and meat with the evil sodium nitrite. Neither of them have noticeable immediate effects on me, which is how I've changed my habits elsewhere, so I'm kind of stuck on how to progress with them.)
This assumes applications are ready for IPv6. They overwhelmingly aren't. Virtually all networked applications assume that IP address resolution is going to result in a scalar integer and will break if it doesn't.
We didn't go there in a way that's analogous to the camps from the 40s.
raganwald completely got the anologies wrong. Unless he buys his next car online which would be soon to be released without looking at what features it has (e.g. mpg, v6 or v8,HP, leather trim or not). He sees Luxus brand and just buys it. Since I hope he doesn't, he needs to choose better anology
Good thing I got a mac mini to run linux on (no other 10W box out there I can get with the same performance), no big boxy computer for me!
I am the developer in this situation right now. I was hired by a small company as their sole developer to write them a program. So far, I have to say I pretty much disagree with everything said here.

I think the developer really needs to know the details of the domain and problem space. The company I am working for is a workforce management consulting firm. The first week on the job I interviewed 10+ consultants with the company. Got to know their tasks, goals, accomplishments, needs and pain points. I also shadowed in on one consultant for a day, and read a lot of literature. I know an awful lot now what it means to do work force management and workforce management consulting. This is helpful, very helpful. I become a knowledgeable user of the very system I am creating. Imagine if Adobe's developers had no clue about image editing, Photoshop would have been a disaster.

This feeds into my other point. Don't give the developer detailed descriptions of every click, button, error, etc. Give them the exact opposite. Tell them what the system needs to accomplish, and let them design it. For one, they will almost certainly design a simpler and easier to manage system than you will (maybe not easier to user, because let's face it, that's not usually a programmer's forte). Since the developer now knows the domain pretty well, they can use that knowledge to help design an effective solution. let the developer arrive at your goal with as minimal amount of code and work as possible. That way you can see your vision in the flesh, use it, and actually start to understand what it does. Only once a feature is actually implemented and put to use do you really start to understand what it needs to do.

Maintain a dialog with your developer. Give feedback often and have the two of you work together on where the project is going.

Basically all I am saying boils down to what most agile development processes ascribe to.

I do however totally agree with doing the "simple" version 1.0 release first.
My quick guess would be

1. the initialize function allows you to encapsulate modifications to data when it is received. A parametrized module only takes a variable, so any modification done to the parameters needs to be done outside the module (Mod:new(F(Arg))).

2. Semantically speaking, parametrized modules are NOT classes/objects. They're meant as a syntactic shortcut to carry state and a module name as a single variable when calling it and writing the module itself. What I mean is that Mod:Fun(Arg) now becomes Mod:Fun(), and Arg is hidden within Mod (The current implementation is {ModuleName, Arg}:Fun()).

This use is rarely necessary and often seen as bad form by many Erlang regulars (myself included), mostly because it introduce new [superfluous] ways to do existing things in a language where its small core is appreciated. Also functional programmers getting mad at OO programmers trying to get their way in a language that was not meant for that.
You might be surprised what a clearance is worth over private sector pay.

That being said, private sector work is usually for more fulfilling and less frustrating.

Working a private sector job, with a clearance (and the pay bump that brings) making software for the government, now that's not a bad way to burn through a work week.
So buy a house.
