I'm sorry. You have it wrong.

Genocide isn't a motivation to bust your ass. Genocide is what placed my grandparents and those of many into abject poverty. Their day-to-day motivator wasn't "well, this is better than being in an unmarked grave". That wasn't even in their radar. As in, not at all. Saying "never again" doesn't mean you are going to drown to swim out to a buoy.

Genocide doesn't turn someone into a risk taker. That's a preposterous idea. I couldn't even imagine my grandparents saying "well, I am going to go all out on this because I could have died in the Genocide". It sounds silly just to say it.

No, their motivation was to improve their lives and provide for their families. And lacking the command of the language or much of an education they concluded the best bet was to try to start some kind of a business, any business. And that's what they did.
As someone working in tech, and does digital marketing consulting, there is actually a lot of value in these interstitials:
1) Usually the app is infinitely better than the mobile web experience. You can chalk it up to prioritization of engineering working on iOS / Android app development over a mobile web experience -- usually for good reason.
2) It's a solid retention strategy. You can harp on about bounce rates reducing activation rates (bounce rates aren't as high as you might think btw in certain cases) but at the end of the day, a 1% increase in repeat purchase rate (or insert other retention metric here) will have a much much more significant impact than a 1% increase in activation.

It only works for certain scenarios and cases, but at the end of the day, there's significant data to show that they work.
I consider it an OS-level deficiency that no OS supports a kill-ring as a global service.
Huh, I also don't think it ever occurred to me to transfer the smoothie to another container to allow washing the Vitamix sooner. But that's easily done, and the other container could go in the dishwasher later.
As a beginner guitarist, this is site is the worst. It's a shame that honest sites like olga.net don't exist anymore.

I still experience it every so often (iOS 8.4.1). The last time it happened it was on Techcrunch
Just a way better interface on it. Searchable history, multiple rooms inside rooms effectively. File sharing, lots of niceties that are probably possible in IRC but would take a lot of work. It has changed the way our team communicates, for me I am the only remote guy on a team of 6ish devs. I can pick and choose my hours, work when other guys are off, and still see all the comms that happened while I wasn't at my machine.
Yes, to be sure, that attitude is a non starter. It sounds very collegiate, but in the wrong way. If taken seriously it not only has the potential to act as a bad filter, but also has the potential to homogenize --which is probably good to some extent organizationally, buy bad if you look at it from an outside of work perspective. You're hammering the squeaky nail. It's like the Borg. All the diverse (skin, culture and otherwise) people meld into one very emotionally homogenous system where the non conformers are labeled as uncooperative non-players.

Not as vintage as this, but back in '10, I, along with a couple of other freelancers that I'd worked with in the past got asked to work in a <legacy clothing manufacturer> in a big, old mill in Yorkshire.

We were immediately isolated from the modern-ish IT department and placed in a room at the end of the mill that contained a couple of dozen vacuum drive tape machines. So loud that they silenced the room when they were warming up.

Our task was to "check for security problems" in their ecommerce platform because there was some serious financial motivation from the men upstairs.

Their 'platform' was a decade-ish old install of osCommerce that had been hacked to death to make it support multi-side and multi language, together with some customisations to it's templating engine to provide asset reuse across sites.

It was immediately apparent that all the SQL injection and most other vulnerabilities present years ago in that old version of OSc were still there. They were alongside the many, many vulns that were introduced with the hacks. Oh, and most of the hacks were done by a mixture of programmers on the continent, so variable names and comments were easy to understand.

They didn't want to even consider upgrading, just patch it up and get outta there.

Out of professionalism it was necessary to document the many times management passed on our recommendations to fix issues we found. Looking through that file, most of those issues seem to be present even today.
Hello Graphios. Goodbye RRDTool
That is a feature of the browser, and is on the browser to make it not annoying. While it's fair to say you might find it annoying and might not want to see it, others do find it valuable. If a browser feature is annoying you, the correct approach would be to disable that feature in the browser. If the browser doesn't allow you to do this, than it's the browser's implementation that is at fault.

This all assumes the site is using the features the browser makers are telling the sites to use.
Stop pretending you don't know where I am when I'm not logged in. I'm not going to log-in as I don't trust you, but I know you know who I am anyway.
Seems a bit hypocritical, considering they were using app install interstitial pages as recently as July:

>It is your brand that sells your product.

This is backwards - the product sells the brand. Brands do not just come out of nowhere; people have to like the product first before they can establish loyalty.
> Guys usually don't see women and internally think 'I want to be friends with that person'

> white people don't generally see a black guy and think 'I want to be friends with them'.

Is this scientifically proven? I highly suspect these statements. I personally have not become friends with any women by force, and I most definitely have wanted to be friends with people of a race that is different than mine.

Not because of gender or race. Just because they were funny or interesting.

Obviously my anecdote counts for very little, but I find it hard to believe that "generally" people suck at being friends across races or genders. I believe it's possible that some people can experience that, but I highly disagree that it is a general, chronic phenomenon; I think making blanket statements on race or gender outside of the strictly biological+physical ones is very shaky ground.
This list from Wikipedia claims otherwise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_Nobel_laurea...
I saw it on HN a while ago- a webservice that does poker hands using a URL; you could pass it cards in the URL and it would display them.
Probably Raytheon's STAR program. I wasn't involved but one from inside it was rumored to be one of the biggest boondoggles there (and thats saying something). I think it inspired the "yesterdays technology tomorrow" motto.
The women not choosing to become engineers are choosing to do something though. In fact there are more women than men graduating from college today. Women are succeeding in higher education, just in fields of their own choosing.

I don't think anyone should look at the choices people make for career and say it's problematic because they didn't help a gender stat go up in a field they weren't interested in.

Samsung gains the same thing that Coca Cola gains by selling you a 20 oz container instead of a 12 oz.

Ah, Ok. Thanks for clarification.
1) ...that you know of.

2) Frankly, Google is far more trustworthy than almost any randomly selected software company. (Don't forget that there are far more software companies out there than either of us are aware of.)

3) Unless you've taken the time to configure a MAC system, software that runs as you can access any data and transport mechanism that you can access. That's a fact of life. Anything you run on your computers can also act as a little snitch.
I think it means that there are large firms whose partners are 100% male.
Whether it's your savings or capital from investors, spare cash gives you the leg up to artificially scale faster than you would organically. This increases the risk but also helps you capitalize on timing when an opportunity is short-lived.
I'm more annoyed with these sites than the app install sites. "Install our app" is annoying but still trying their best to send us where we will have better have better experience (at least that's what they think). These "subscribe to our newsletter" sites do it for their own good and couldn't care less about visitors. They do it so they can spam them with their emails
Yep. As was Margaret Hamilton who invented both software engineering and fault-tolerant, hardware-software design. Bunch more on top of that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_%28scientist...

Been my favorite for the last year or two since a friend told me about her work doing... basically much of what I was trying to do lol. Her software resume kicks much of Silicon Valley's ass. Yet, many wouldn't hire women and certainly wouldn't know one invented the engineering aspect of their field after another invented programming. ;) Many similarly impressive women in tech and colleges that face uphill battle getting good jobs. Messed up...

Note: Her USL and 001 Toolkit handled specification, semi-automated design, automated coding, automated testing, and handled SCM issues for arbitrary platforms. You could say she was the first "full-stack" engineer with a broader definition of full-stack. ;) 001/USL are really weird so one line of my research is doing same with a user-friendly, specification and implementation language + extensive metaprogramming + good heuristics. Racket or RED are likely implementation languages when I get the concepts all together.
I'm not on El Capitan, but does disabling them in the GUI work (Trust: Never)? I think that's better than removing them anyway, as it seems to persist across OS upgrades.
Open edX -- REMOTE (Worldwide), OpenCraft

Consultancy specialized on the edX project, and hiring to handle increasing demand. edX is a free software project, used by various universities and companies to run online courses. See edx.org, class.stanford.edu, france-universite-numerique-mooc.fr for examples of edX instances.

It's a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are varied, from developing developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working on both client/server sides, etc.

Most of your work is published as free software (edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing some of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

You would be able to work remotely from where you want, as long as you have a good internet connexion. : )

Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS, Debian/Ubuntu, JS, HTML/CSS, MySQL, MongoDB

Applying: Email jobs@opencraft.com with: your github account, a short explanation of why the role interests you (no formal cover letter, please :) ) and a list of links to free software contributions you have made.
Should've said north/west Europe. I gather such behaviour is more common in mediterranean countries.
Similar sentiment about the complex transaction of not partaking in parts of culture because of what you've been told about it: https://nplusonemag.com/issue-6/the-intellectual-situation/t...

Teaser:

"Of course there was never any such thing as truly independent aesthetic judgment. No cultural artifact ever appears out of nowhere, to be taken purely on its own terms; there is always what reception theory calls “a horizon of expectation.” And who would want to possess independent aesthetic judgment anyway? It would mean you were impervious to the enthusiasms of your friends and the arguments of critics; it would mean that you were a total blockhead, ineducable, stupid."
You should really take a look at LMDB's benchmarks then (http://symas.com/mdb/#bench). The one of interest to you should be the microbenchmarks (http://symas.com/mdb/microbench/) inspired I believe by those from LevelDB.

There are many modes being compared (synchronous/asynchronous, sequential/random reads/writes, small/big values, in-memory/SSD/HDD). The one you want (synchronous, random writes, HDD) shows this:

- Small values (100B): Leveldb is at 1291 ops/sec, LMDB is at 297 ops/sec.

- Large values (100kiB): Everyone is at ~115 ops/sec

(apply portion of salt as usual, of course)
In this case, I think it may have been an attempt to assert power through a willful misinterpretation.
> Why would you think that women are looking for something to get offended about?

Clearly, not all women are looking for something to be outraged about. However, there is a vocal minority that loudly takes offense at friendly gestures, like in this particular instance. That's what I take issue with.

> If I was looking for something to get offended about I wouldn't hide behind male usernames on Stackoverflow, my local user groups, Hackernews (obviously not this account) and Github to avoid conflict. I just want to be a normal part of tech communities, on and offline.

That's more of a consequence of the erosion of anonymity in the Internet, than you being a woman.

> It's absurd that you can write off the large portion of women who say there's a problem because you don't want to examine you're own internal biases.

Large portion of women according to whom? I'm not writing off anybody either, I'm asking people to critically examine a concept and judge for themselves. I think you ought to think for yourself a little bit more, onee-sama.
Am I reading that correctly, that VP9 support is further along than the audio codecs? That seems surprising.
AFAIK, all of the common open-source databases have this problem. Postgres is better than mysql, but it still needs to do extensive locking when you alter a column.

Under heavy read/write loads and/or with large tables, this can blow up in your face.
I kinda see the point of it, that it is indeed complex, but it's not like we have to be paralyzed by complexity. Once the political momentum is there, you throw a dozen or so congressional aides in a room for a week and tell 'em to write the new law, and they'll probably come out with something that's at least a reasonable starting point. Revise it a couple of times, then put it in place and see what happens. It won't be perfect, but it's tough to be worse than the prohibition status quo. They can always fix whatever ends up being troublesome in a year or two.
We never have all the answers.
The Slack API only allows a single image URL for attachments. I was also keen on the idea of being able to swap out the card assets whenever. Unicode playing cards is a decent idea, except Slack only renders in Lato.
> Based on these results, we decided to permanently retire the interstitial.

Well at least they admitted they are bad, even if they tried them.
Not really, seeing as the article you link addresses that?

It's like a car company saying "we used to only make black cars, but actually we looked into it, and now we think people want colours; so we're making them".
I'm sure a space elevator would be easy on Ceres, but with gravity like that, why bother? An electromagnetic launcher could be pretty small there, maybe even small enough to launch people without too much effort. Or regular rockets, since something very small would be able to escape.

Great I was just looking for something to feed to my machine learning thesis.
Most scientists in the U.S. are nonreligious, or less religious than the general population around them, but the original commenter said you would be "very hard pressed" to find a counterexample who's a reputable scientist. Surely "very hard pressed" should mean it's actually difficult to do so.

I'm sure are features IRC cannot duplicate, but all that's necessary for that is a bouncer.
Thanks for the detailed reply. That public transit system sounds downright awful.

I can't say you've convinced me on rent control but you have convinced me that the Bay Area has a somewhat different set of problems than greater NYC (though some of our regional transit systems -- e.g. LIRR + NICE bus -- have similar issues).
Is it REMOTE only for inside the US, or anywhere in the world? Also, do remote workers need to (legally) be able to work in the US?
Totally considered this early on but wanted to stick to card images to add to the authenticity. Might expose this as an option later on, though.

The Dark Side of Big Data: An approach to stop data breach
When are they going to shit-can sites that have tiny 'next' buttons next to big Google ads with arrows in them? The ones like "20 pictures of celebrities' hairy moles!".
Yeah, no problem. Here's a great video that gives an overview of the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPi0AuVpxLI.
I am not sure I agree with your first point. It seems the most frequent case is that a user wants to access content right away. Regardless of how much "better" the native experience might be, its a lot of hoops to jump through to fulfill the immediate need.

I certainly can't argue that it does yield positive business results under certain scenarios, but for the average user it seems to injure common web experiences.
One unfortunate thing that imo is increasing the value of app installs (and therefore how much "collateral damage" in bounce rates is worth it) is that companies are starting to use them as a push ad platforms. Once your app's on the phone, you can push notifications whenever you want, not only when the user is actively using the app. While with a mobile website, once they navigate away from the site you can't push ads until the next time they visit.

The Hotwire Android app was the first one I noticed doing this, raising notifications unrelated to actual use of the app (e.g. for bookings). If they have a general promotion, like "fall sale" or something, they push a notification to a targeted subset of users. In their case there isn't even an option in the app settings to opt out of the notification spam. Yelp was the second app I found doing this, but they at least have an opt-out in their settings menu. For apps that don't, you can entirely revoke their notification privileges in the central Android settings, but I doubt the average user knows how to do that.

My dislike for playing whack-a-mole with this kind of nonsense is why I don't install apps anymore (outside a few trusted exceptions, like Wikipedia's app), and just use mobile websites.
