Unfortunately, good advice on this is going to be very hard to receive on hn/reddit etc. Discussions of how to do this properly require a lot of fine details. A good introduction to this would be via the link posted by mooreds:

Moxie Marlinspike's older post on the cryptographic doom principle, at http://www.thoughtcrime.org/blog/the-cryptographic-doom-prin... also covers some of the basics.

You're much, much better off getting expert advice on this from folks familiar with your SPA/JS Framework.
do u think companies interview many candidates for a single position bcoz they want to hire all of'em? of coz not, they want a pool of candidates and pick the best one, and there's even a waiting list...u need to do the same, two way straight.
We can find a number suspects, and then analyze other facts about them.
Yeah, that's where I did a double take and actually paused the video to confirm that he's not wearing any goggles, and doesn't appear to be wearing any protective gear whatsoever.
Will probably get brought for 3-4B by bigco if bigco can transcend internal politics. Not sure who will buy them - most probably Microsoft under Ndella.

I'm asking in all sincerity - what does Dropbox have that Microsoft would want? Their OneDrive technology is "good enough" for the vast majority of users.

Latest statistics I could find were that DropBox has 200,000,000 users and that 96% of them were free user accounts. That means DropBox has about 8,000,000 paying users. Instead of buying the company for $4 billion they could instead pay each paying DropBox customer $500 to switch.

Or they could spend $4 billion on marketing / giving away their free 1 TB of OneDrive space with purchase of an Office 365 subscription for $6.99 per month.

I'm probably missing something?
This game is addictive. I played it and loved it. I like to play simple games.

But I feel this do needs some kind of gamification and proper ordering of levels. As twice I received simple puzzle after completing some harder!

Plus if possible do change some colors once the loop is completed. I felt those colors are like olden days. Rest whole game has cool colors.
Fine, well done. But no one should care that Sam Altman bet that we are not in a bubble against someone who doesn't care much one way or the other but wants his name in the paper.
Am I the only one hoping they have the same favourite charity?
My November project http://sleepyti.me attempts to achieve a similar state of restful awakening by timing your bedtimes around your sleep cycles.

WakeMate and Sleepyti.me are two different approaches to the same problem, so it's cool to see a product based around similar principles.
Back in the day while I was at Google, you could look at anyone else's calendar. I thought this level of transparency was really nice. It also was super convenient when trying to schedule a multi-party meeting with people in different offices and time zones. What else are you going to do, and endless email thread asking for availability and doing manual matching?

Just don't put your personal activities in your work calendar, I guess? Whenever I had a personal appointment (e.g. doctor), I'd just book a block of "Busy" or "Gabriel OOO" in my work calendar.
Pretty sure having it dynamically linked is ok with the open source licence
> it's almost always less effort to optimize the DOM-based approach

I remember browsers starting to not love dynamic tables with just some thousands of rows.
It's amazing how many projects you have made in year. How much time do you put into your side projects?
I dunno, I have a lot respect for people who take difficult concepts and try to make them easier to grasp.

Teachers are more valuable than belittlers. "This isn't hard" is not a lesson plan or a path to enlightenment.
Achievement is definitely way more than just natural ability. Experience counts for a lot, and older people will have a large knowledge advantage. However, he has a legitimate point about natural analytic ability and speed.

See:http://www18.homepage.villanova.edu/diego.fernandezduque/Tea...

Seriously, if you need a kick in the ass to get moving every now and then (like me), then google Timothy Salthouse's research on cognitive aging. It's a depressing reminder that time waits for no one.
I had an idea to do something similar once for a Uni dissertation, involving a rift mounted with two cameras to do a very hacky and cheap prototype version of what you've described.

My supervisor shot it down because "Google glass will do that" :(
I wouldn't call it a replacement, as it uses ssh for authentication and strives to not reinvent the wheel there. That is actually what makes mosh so nice - if you have your hosts in .ssh/config and your public key installed to your hosts, you can use mosh instead of ssh in interactive sessions and It Just Works. You still have ssh for file transfer, TCP and X11 forwarding, etc.

For telecommuting, it's really nice to have mosh handle handovers between wifi and 3g/4g networks so gracefully. And for high latency links, it makes the user experience a bit less annoying.

edit: missing word added
Heck, let's just go back to Skype! :)
Jon Stewart is often a terrible interviewer. Especially when he either hasn't found any respect for the guest or when he likes the guest so much they can't take the promotional point of the interview seriously.

In one case he fails to address the perspective of the guest (which means he emotes a lot and asks questions they don't answer) and in the other they more or less just smile knowingly at each other for 5 minutes.

I suppose another way to say it is that much of the problem is that he tends to make the interview about himself.
I believe the issue is that unlike web chats and apps like Telegram, Whatsapp doesn't store conversations on their servers beyond what is required to deliver messages to the required destination device(s).

This presents obvious problems with having not just a web client, but any client other than the main device, since the main device is the only store of the existing conversations. New messages sent also need to be synchronized across devices, which I presume is why it's required to keep your phone connected to the Internet. Otherwise Whatsapp would need keep conversations on their servers until they could be synced, which is very much not their model.

Details on their architecture:

Good read. Liberal education meaning one based on liberty, freedom, and personal growth. From TFA:

How does one recognize liberally
educated people?

1. They listen and they hear.

2. They read and they understand.

3. They can talk with anyone.

4. They can write clearly and persuasively and movingly.

5. They can solve a wide variety of puzzles and problems.

6. They respect rigor not so much for its own sake but as a way of seeking truth.

7. They practice humility, tolerance, and self-criticism.

8. They understand how to get things done in the world.

9. They nurture and empower the people around them.

10. They follow E. M. Forster’s injunction from
Howards End: “Only connect...”

All good things, IMHO. (Full disclosure, I'm a liberally educated physics major - went to a small liberal arts school with a very strong science faculty.)

The American and Western market has sensibilities too even if they dont come from the government the user experience is the same. Try disagreeing with Isreali domestic and foreign policy and doing business in any industry in the West, especially Hollywood. You have to censor.

Deciding that China’s gatekeeping is worse just because it comes the government is where we lose a lot of possibility of introspection from people.
The moderator of the Java group on Linked.In was driven nuts by people who wrote blog posts about some topic like "the difference between a static and instance variable" that not only garbled the English but garbled the facts.

A flood of low quality articles in spam is one reason why I deleted my Linked.In account. Linked.In was cool when I first started to use it, but too many people pissed in the pool and it stinks now.
Is anyone aware of a way to pull the current/longest streak for a GitHub user, besides parsing their page's HTML? I'm aware that I can get the data used to make the dot chart from https://github.com/users/sferik/contributions_calendar_data but that always gives 366 points.

Previously, I thought the Current and Longest Streak counts were dynamically calculated from the given JSON data, but this shows that's not the case: it looks like GitHub is inserting those counts right into the HTML on their end.

I can scrape those counts out of the HTML if I need to, but that feels pretty hacky, and I'd prefer to pull or calculate them in some other way if it's at all possible.
Sort of neat.

We already share our vagrants within our office as we port forward from the host computers to the guest. Thus to access bob's vagrant I just go http://bob-computer:3120/, etc... We use this feature periodically and it is useful in those cases.

I guess this new feature is mostly for remote collaborations where you are not in the same secure network.

PS. Vagrant is one of the most reliable parts of our http://clara.io development infrastructure. We absolutely love it. I was trying to think of issues I have with it and I can not think of any.
> If we ever get a wireless alternative that is as fast as fiber (and easily deployable) we'd see the end of traditional telecoms as we know it.

Like every Google Fiber set top box being a wireless access point accessible to other Google Fiber customers, as well as free to Android users? And Google using their fiber right of ways to deploy 802.11ac or picocells?

Only in my dreams sir.

Absolutely on the same page with you on this after researching Angular some more over the past couple of weeks. I mentioned Angular because a couple of companies I'd like to work at use it.

I was thinking about trying React for views + Backbone for models/routing instead, but a poster here reminded me about Ember, so maybe I'll just go that route initially. Or Backbone on its own. Thanks!
The simple fact is that until you find the reservoir you can't say anything about where it came from, and they haven't found it yet.

And as your first article details, the "lab accident" theory rests on some lab doing secret virus experiments. Even if you find a whole sea of the virus in some cave, someone will argue they could have gotten there after the first "accident". Good luck disproving that without letting US virologists snoop in every lab in China.

To me "open to the possibility" is a very strong reading of "can't rule it out".
If this is "frivolous" then I sure wish I were a more frivolous coder. Someone has to do the "frivolous" work of keeping up to date on security patches so our apps are locked down. Someone has to make "frivolous" corrections of bad indentation so code is more readable for the rest of us. Someone has to write all those "frivolous" READMEs so people like me can get up and running.

Thank goodness for frivolous work like this.
I decided to go with T-Mobile on my iPad Air - after 3 months I'm sold and will be switching my mobile as soon as possible. Apparently, T-Mobile will pay early termination fees for not only family plans, but also business accounts registered with a Tax ID.
But the whole point IS sitting back in your chair. Much better posture!

Btw I performed some measurements and real distance is more like 90cm.
As someone helping a nonprofit with their engineering needs, I’m also looking into Nomad+consul.
Do you have any pointers for me?
Here's an estimate of how different people in the anime industry are paid (it's from an anime about creating anime):

https://i.imgur.com/ORAFhaN.png

If this is accurate, then only A-list voice actors are making any serious money because they're scarce and in high demand. I think that most of the money in anime just gets spent on creating more anime, so very few people end up making money.
My time spent in architecting and coding a fraud system was for employment and income which is not particularly representative of my views about personal privacy per say that we seem to share. I can pay cash for burner phones in stores with no point of purchase surveillance coverage or I can go into a big box and pay with credit and be all kinds of recorded. All about understanding the long game objective as the execution is the easy part.
I suspect that people who disdain reading for pleasure have never tried it as an adult. In every book there is a unique perspective and story that you can learn from. As an example, I recently read the Wheel of Time series because I like fantasy novels. Post-reading, I have a greater understanding of personal growth and how people change over time due to life experiences. It wasn't a nirvana state that was reached, but it gave me a unique perspective of people in various scenarios, many relatable to the real world.
Your explanations are all demand-side. That doesn't account for why the supply-side of programmers for games is so high. Every game programmer also has the skills necessary to do a good portion of non-gaming jobs. The thing that game companies have a monopoly on is not on jobs the games programmers can do.

As evidence of what I'm talking about I also cite the absolutely huge number of "indie" developers, the vast majority of them not being the ones you've heard of, because most of them aren't famous and face sales figures in the hundreds, if not dozens. Many of them are actively taking a negative salary (that is, burning somebody's savings) to work in the game industry.
I agree with your point overall, I just want to add that some DevOps efforts aren't to save DevOps time, but to prevent errors.

When you make a change manually, there's a chance that you forget something, have a typo, etc. Those problems disappear when those same things are automated.
I just ran it on Chrome 10.0.648.205 on Ubuntu 10.10 and I get the same error.
This was actually one of the April 1st jokes on Think Geek this year.
Haven't used Eclipse for a while, but I'm pretty sure the amount of time you wait for the pop-up is a setting. Set it to zero and it's instantaneous on most modern hardware.
Wow. I'm glad you said that. I've got experience with networks, but I can't design or code (I have utilized plenty of templates, libraries, and shell scripts written by others, but I'm not much of a creator). I simply looked over this segment of the populace. It's still a niche, and any criticism I've leveled in this thread is in the hope that they create better clients or an API for their service to make it more accessible, as it is too technocal still to make a difference outside of semi-technical people.

This could be a great step forward in helping peopole understand, and take responsibility for their online presence.

Note that if the slit is narrow enough, it will still focus light thought the pinhole effect (also giving you polarized light (if the material is electrically conductive)).
And I'm sure Playbook has its own gaping security holes that no one will find or care about because no one's going to buy it.
So it is the standard preliminary test subject. Preliminary being a key word, things get tested in them first for plausibility but those findings usually need to be reconfirmed in an actual human study.

The first thing is that they're mammals. You might be able to get cheap chickens for example, do experiments on them, but they're birds, they're not mammals. In terms of how similar to us they are, the most similar thing is he could find would be chimpanzees or so, and great apes in that general category, dogs and cows would be more similar to us than mice, mice and rats are probably about the same, and then there are things that are older like opossums, they would be a worse fit than mice. And they are social animals like we are.

Mice are cheap because they are good at making more of themselves, and at this point you can buy them fantastically inbred—genetically nearly uniform, a bunch of them all the same age.

The short life span is the third killer feature, obviously when you do human studies you have to follow us around for 40 years if you want us to get old, free mouse you just follow him for 2 years. Other than that, it's mostly just that they're mostly domesticated, so you don't have to worry about them biting you or anything. They are small and easy to handle and when you need a larger creature there are rats available.

You will notice that they are less used for certain other things, so for example if you wanted to test biomedical devices that you insert into a body, maybe something that you clamp around an artery, for those sorts of things the smallness really gets in the way... Then you might see cow or horse studies or whatever, something with bigger arteries that you can clamp this thing on.

It would be irresponsible to decide what supplements you are supplementing with based only on mouse studies. It would not be extremely irresponsible—there is a decent chance that if it were actively going to kill you then that would have appeared in the mouse studies—but it's still generally irresponsible in a milder fashion. In the sense that you are kind of throwing the dice with your health rather than making an informed decision. But I mean it's a better habit than smoking I guess so do whatever floats your boat?
It's called "Smooth White Wall Panel", but honestly just go with a truck and ask an employee, apparently they're popular. The guy I asked said they even use them in the employee areas in the back. https://www.lowes.com/pd/47-75-in-x-7-98-ft-Smooth-White-Wal...
Yes, it's just lane assist that does a good job in a variety of situations that stock systems typically don't do well in.
Actually it's the HMO system here, much more than the military. Every Israeli, by law, has healthcare insurance. It works much like income tax - deducted automatically from your pay, varies according to income level, and is transferred directly to the HMO you pick among several options which compete (quite vigorously) with each other.
> but want to have the right to immiserate the people who already live there by building high density blocks?

We should start by tearing this building [0] down, otherwise everyone surrounding that property will live in misery.

Most modern cars have something like lane assist yes, which moves the steering wheel for you. Many have automatic parking which also moves the wheel. So yeah it's built in anyway.
Nobody ever wants any liability if they can help it. But they shouldn't be marketing a product if they can't stand behind it.
For that purpose probably just use NiceHash. Sure, there's a probability that you won't get paid but it's basically free money anyway.
People don't buy houses because they have children, they gather both children and houses because they are prosperous. Millenials (some of whom are now past their child-bearing years) and younger generations won't just get houses because of the inexorable march of time. First they'll need money.
This is ridiculous. I find well paid devs super arrogant. Some of them made 150k, 200k, 250k - while other people, also qualified, make salaries that are not enough to start a family and have a decent life.
Yes if it saves you paying cybersec salary for a watch, cut, and paste alert jockey.
There is, however, an infinite amount of information, which is basically free to copy and transmit anywhere in the world. So to the extent that our lives exist on the internet, we are already living in a post-scarcity world.

And considering that robots already took all the agriculture and manufacturing jobs, and we're supposedly split between "knowledge workers" and "service workers", I'd say the problem of automation taking our jobs still has a long way to go.
I have the same feelings. That's why I like projects like http://www.ractivejs.org/ and http://rivetsjs.com/ . They have the productivity benefits without forcing you to use JSX.
I listened to the last minutes of the stream, and I was impressed at how speedy their voices were.

I don't recall hearing such haste in Nasa's launches; it was a bit weird and exciting at the same time.
I still write lots of articles and essays, but I don't focus on any one topic.

I'm not running ads anymore. Some of my articles still have affiliate ads for books, but I placed those ads years ago. My new material doesn't have any ads.

I figure that if my writing is well-received, something good is bound to happen to me. Other than my plan for the KickStarter - which I am not dead certain I will actually pursue - I don't have any specific plans for monetizing my site.
Agreed. Regarding your first paragraph, you could easily substitute Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc and it would still be just as valid. I shudder to think just how many web applications are still out there running severely outdated versions of PHP and whose source code hasn't seen a pair of eyeballs in years. I suppose this is one reason why SQL injections are still so pervasive.
Tipping is the original crowd funding.
That or it will be a natural form of selection for old age, increasing human longevity at the expense of temporary population reduction. Let's hope artificial gene therapy is within our lifetimes or hope we drew the golden ticket.
I think they could have spent their time better on some much more needed features/improvements, instead of adding a payment system (with imho bad cryptocurrency).
e2ee is a technical term, not a social term. It only means that 2 devices exchange bytes and no third-party can read them. Nowhere is there any obligation that the 2 devices belong to different people: it is perfectly possible to exchange history between your laptop and your smartphone with e2ee.
Just because a guitarist plays covers doesn't mean he wasn't playing guitar. Every time you build a syntactically-correct program, you were making algorithms. No one is suggesting you have to master linked lists to graduate--only that you should understand the very basics of how computers process information.

Just because your college course was called "Algorithms 101" does not mean those are the only algorithms or that your own code is not an algorithm.
I'm excited to see this. Durandal was (and actually still is) a joy to use and coming up with something this advanced with a possible migration path is amazing.

Small confusion: They chose to use 6to5 and jspm but jspm depends on Traceur and there is even an issue[1] for supporting 6to5 on jspm issue tracker. (Edit: Just discovered that they were answering questions on Gitter[2])

Maybe i misunderstood something, but they are not really inferring information. The model is still encrypted, the outsider doesn't know what's going on. Wouldn't salt destroy the homomorphic property?
This is true for me too.

I still do some of my personal projects in Emacs, and I still use Magit, and dired, and a few others, but by and large my professional development is mostly in the family of JetBrains editors.

Ideally, their code analysis could work through a server and use Emacs as a frontend, but the existing tools don't even come close to what those IDEs can do. Emacs is great, but it's not the most productive tool for me to edit large projects.
The published papers are probably excellent reading material :)
