>despite having orders of magnitude fewer options per turn and turns per game.

You say despite, but I think that's half the reason why the decisions are more interesting.
I don't think it was Wasabi so much as Windows. You didn't have to use Wasabi to write plugins for FogBugz, but you did have to use .net. The kind of people who read Joel's blog run on *nix, and probably have some Java in their stack; if you give them a .war that runs on Tomcat then they know what to do, and if they don't know then there are plenty of open-source tutorials. If you're giving them a .net product to deploy on a windows machine, not so much.

I think the final chapter is yet to be written though. Trello is a joy to use, much better than Jira. And AIUI it's on a much more developer-friendly stack.
Google Optimize (Optimizely Killer?) Confirmed
I believe it's more of an education problem, than of people actually welcoming the intrusions.
SEEKING WORK - Remote & Atlanta (remote preferred)

I'm a full-stack developer and project manager based in Atlanta. I've built a profitable startup, so I know how to solve problems and get things done with a minimum amount of direction.

I can take on projects at any stage--from sketches on the back of a napkin, to 20 year old legacy code. Whether you need someone to build and deploy a complete product from the ground up, or untangle an existing mess, I can handle it.

I'm an excellent communicator, and I will provide clear and concise status reports through every phase of the project. My job is to make sure you never have to worry about how your project is going.

I'm good with Ruby/Rails, JavaScript (plus many js frameworks), C#, Java, Go, CSS3, and HTML5.

I also have a strong foundation in computer science (B.S. in CS and part time grad student at GaTech), and experience with many other languages and frameworks. I can handle anything you can throw at me, so don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see your technology stack listed.

I would imagine we're going to grow more worms, not hunt down the existing ones.
Beyond that, it seems that they've spent the time to integrate ES with IAM, so having the ability to grant fine-grained access to ES using IAM policies will be a big plus for some people.

We're currently using Found to host our ES index and we had to come up with some pretty creative solutions to avoid embedding the auth credentials in our applications that need access to ES. With the new service, we'd simply setup the correct IAM policies for ES and assign the proper IAM roles to the instances running our application and be done.
That's possible in any language that doesn't force you to include a computer-checkable proof that your overridden equality operator forms an equivalence relationship.
Did you do the numbers? Would be nice if you could share them.
What's with apple and their super-privacy stance lately? First his letter, and now his interview. Not that I mind it, but I feel like they're expecting something bad to come out soon.

Embracing the Void: Star Axis, a masterpiece forty years in the making (2013)
We were on Fogbugz for many years, but eventually left to Jira because the Agile workflow is absolutely horrid.

Micromanagers can screw anything up - you can invent some pretty insane workflows using the FogBugz workflow tool, if you want to :)
Unlike what others have said, the answer is no.

Patents are governed by a specific jurisdictional statute that made this crazy.

The history is detailed well here:
http://patentlyo.com/patent/2007/04/patent_jurisdic.html

THe TL;DR is:

It used to just be:
Any civil action for patent infringement may be brought in the judicial district where the defendant resides, or where the defendant has committed acts of infringement and has a regular and established place of business. 28 USC 1400

Then in 1990, Congress added:
For purposes of venue under this chapter, a defendant that is a corporation shall be deemed to reside in any judicial district in which it is subject to personal jurisdiction at the time the action is commenced. 28 USC 1391

This eviscerated the previous limitations.

Personal jurisdiction is a little tricky to explain in a single post, but suffice to say, for internet companies most likely the target of trolls, they will generally be found to be subject to personal jurisdiction everywhere in the US.
I would consider Go. It's easy to learn and use (certainly more so than C++) and gives you the ability to write performant code (unlike Python) for the backend with minimal dependencies (unlike what you already know). The cool kids doing container work (e.g. Docker) swear by it, and... https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/mobile
Really? Have you tried using the Fogbugz wiki? I will take Confluence any day over that slow bloated POS.
Sure, but I want to be totally clear that I am totally not a scientist or anyone who knows what he is talking about before I do so. I just read a lot of nutritional science because I'm interested in it and so I've strung together some high level patterns. Reading quickly about CF and ACF, I don't think it's related to what I'm talking about, but I'll explain my thoughts on diabetes and how it connects to MPS and growth. I also want to make it clear I'm talking about adult-onset, type ii diabetes. So probably not CFRD, and probably not type i.

On a high level the pattern I see is that growing is one of many intense metabolic stressors, and that there are other things that can approximate that stress once you stop growing, specifically strength training, although I think other forms of fitness are probably helpful as well, though less so. Inflammation is the major biproduct of strength training, and is a crucial part of the muscle building process, and yet we don't think of this inflammation as unhealthy (unpleasant, sure) and it doesn't cause diabetes. The most anabolic diet you can eat is one that causes huge amounts of inflammation (high carbohydrate, high protein). So you have this intense metabolic stress of growing and then it stops in your early 20s and you keep up the inflammation cycles with the same diet and you get diabetes. You remove this metabolic stress without adding another one and inflammation is bad, you add it and it's good (crucial, even). And finally, someone who has low insulin resistance is going to be the most affected by a highly inflammatory diet. In a healthy person lowering your body fat percentage is one of the main ways you can increase your insulin sensitivity (and thus muscle building potential). Spiking your insulin is terrible if you are overweight, but it's great if you are trying to build muscle.

Anyway, that's all very vague and I'm just some dog on the internet, but I think basically there's a scientific opportunity to show that strenuous exercise, specifically strength training, can have a much bigger impact on metabolic syndrome than the science currently gives it credit for.
A business strategy perhaps ? Considering everyone else is in the surveillance-as-a-service monetization model.
The demand for every programming language / framework follows the bell curve. You are correct that Android demand will drop off at certain point. It's difficult to predict what will be the next big hit. The best thing to do is keep an open mind and try out different things that has the potential to become very popular. It's like managing your stock portfolio. You have to spend time in some risky technologies which has big rewards, if it takes off.
Google and Apple should pull the Amazon Video app from their app stores. That would settle this in about 30 minutes...
Take a look at lynda.com: they seem to have 30 fairly short CSS courses.
Programs like gedit don't merge. Period.

Yet I can still use it to resolve a merge conflict.

In Photoshop you would do this by opening both images, and visually comparing them to see what's different, then copying the appropriate parts from one to another. Instead of just visually comparing them, you might combine them into one file as separate layers, and use a transform to see the difference. If the tool doesn't support that, use ImageMagick to generate a graphical diff (either the `compare` or `compose` commands), and then copy the relevant parts from one to another.

We have fancy tools to help us, but fundamentally, merging is a /human/ operation, that requires human judgment to see how multiple sets of changes can be made to coexist. And that doesn't require a tool (though it can certainly help).

In technology, one often comes across the use of the word "simply" to refer to something that's actually quite complicate (see the Druid docs[0]) but this is quite a doozy.

"You can file in any jurisdiction in which you have legal standing to file, which means any jurisdiction in which harm has been done to you."

No.
What you describe in the first sentence is basically what the old rule was, pre-1990 (28 USC 1400).
The current rule is much worse (28 USC 1391).

Basically, you have the effect right, but the description of the pre-reqs wrong :)
Shade and water would go some way towards that.

To your point though, the big desert cities (whether in Texas or Arizona or elsewhere) would not exist without AC.

> If you buy something from the App Store, we do know what you bought from the App Store, obviously. We think customers are fine with that.

Users should also be able to install apps on their iPhones without Apple knowing what they're doing. Personal computing devices shouldn't have artificial walled gardens.

But I agree with him on everything else and think he's a hero for what he's doing.
Frankly the valve is often quality. Quite often something ships on a date. That something is usually crap.

In order to get schedule to change, you'd have to convince salespeople to do something. They are generally the ones doing the convincing.

In order to get the features to change, you'd have to get a product manager to give up what they want to build "because of technical reasons". That doesn't happen often.

But if the product ships with the new features on the agreed upon date, the only people hurt are the developers and the customers. Most people in the business who pretend to care about the customer experience are perfectly happy to do this because it gives them a big club to wield over the engineering team in future iterations.

then that would be the base level, and they would need to introduce a "lower power mode".
Generally you move to a larger hash table long before you get that much key collision. Which is a big cost once, but the amortized cost doesn't change much.

But in general with these discussions, you assume that certain operations are constant on your "machine". For instance, addition is usually considered constant even though it isn't if your numbers are larger than your machine's word size.

In the case of the hash tables, you assume your hash is constant, even if, as you note, it isn't really. But the fact is, the coefficient for the O(log N) term is so small, that it doesn't really offer any useful insight towards the performance of the algorithm.
If you are talking about rights, then you're already in trouble. You do not need to talk about rights until someone has the power to violate them. Governments murder people without heeding the power of their rights, human or otherwise, fundamental or otherwise. The only thing that power answers to is power.

The language of rights does not challenge the fundamental structure of the system.
Apple's comments on privacy over the past year have seemed very opportunistic.

>But what they don't want to do, they don't want your email to be read, and then to pick up on keywords in your email and then to use that information to then market you things on a different application that you're using. ...

They don't have the technology/infrastructure to perform machine learning techniques that google employs. So they will say 'we think it's a feature that none of our services interoperate.'
Apple is essentially the only major US tech company that doesn't rely heavily on advertising income (and thus on online profiling to target ads effectively), and they've realized that this gives them a moral high horse from which to attack their competitors without actually having to change any of their own habits.
Case after case we continue to see a pattern of apparent ignorance, incompetence or indifference on the part of the patent office.

I read through the claims. This patent should not have been granted. You can go back to the 1980's and find relevant prior art.

Are they playing "dumb" because of self preservation? In other words, if the patent office became really strict and only a handful of patents were granted every year they'd only need a fraction of the people, infrastructure and organization now in place. People would lose their jobs.

And so, if you want to keep your job, you issue patents like we are in the middle of a new scientific renaissance. More patents means more money being pumped into the system which, in turn, means you get to keep your job, your benefits and an amazing lifetime pension you did not pay for. You know you the patents you are letting through are crap but all you care about is your financial well being. You htink "Let the courts and those rich fucks sort it out" and move on.

Is it possible that the feedback loop at the patent office is such that volume, rather than quality, is what's remunerated? Never mind that this destroys innovation and causes huge financial losses across all kinds of businesses.

The fitness function might be such that optimization delivers exactly what we do not want as a nation but what the patent office, as an isolated organism, needs for survival.
Did Fogbugz really 'lose'? It's not as if bug tracking systems are a winner-take all market with strong network externalities. Granted, it did not 'win as much' as JIRA, but that's not necessarily a loss. One of the cool things about many businesses is that they are positive sum games. Maybe FogBugz works better in some niches and still generates a nice living for the people who work on it.

Coding schools are gaining popularity because there's demand, obviously. Many people see them as a way out of their stagnant earnings and soul-crushingly boring middle-class jobs.
We grab a timestamp when data hits our API (largely as close to source as we can get) and use that to order time samples. For time series the ordering requirements aren't as strict as other problem domains, since we can usually go back and overwrite previous time series data points.

Calipers: The Fastest Way to Measure Image Dimensions in Node
Seeking: Side project co-founder/developer
I'm looking for a seasoned developer who is ready to start tinkering on something on the side.

Who I am:
I'm a product designer with experience ranging from startups to large corporations.

While I'm content at my current job, I'm just not totally satisfied. I'm cursed with the need to always be building and creating, and for as long as I've tried to shake that feeling, I've finally come to terms with the fact that it isn't going away. It's time for me to start something new.

In the past, I've worked as a UX designer, a front end developer, and I've even run my own (VC-backed) startup.

What I want to build:
Some of my areas of interests include "big data" (apologies for using that phrase), B2B software, and even home automation. I'd prefer to build something where users actually pay money for a service, as opposed to just growing an audience.

I have a few ideas, but I'd love to hear yours, too.

Next steps:
If this sounds interesting to you, I'd love to hear from you, along with what you might be interested in building.

That is fair, though as a practical matter for connecting with moving things the tiny range of BLE makes it more or less useless. In terms of "most applications" you probably mean body area networks (e.g. FitBit) where it does indeed do well but beyond that, BLE is not a serious IoT option for "most applications".

I love building something that fun to use and useful to people. When i was in my campus, i made a automatic learning presence system. It can learn what class on what room by detecting RFID of the student card in that room. It made with Raspberry PI and Ruby on Rails. I have 1+ year experience developing and managing South East Asia payment system and dealing with a lot of problem with that (E.g.: How do you make sure the payment is not duplicate, even when the signature is different).

I also make a SMS dispatcher (progresioapp.com), and made it available for Indonesian. Built with PHP and Python.

Also, i am proficient in managing distributed system and how to scale big system.
Although i am from Asia, i am pretty understand English, so language should be no problem.
I found it pretty funny that it wouldn't have occurred to me either to use Siri for turning the low power mode on.

I think many people don't realise the high level of innovation that happens over at Dyson. Before Dyson debuted his cyclonic vacuum cleaners, there was nothing else like them on the market whatsoever. Competitors brought out their own cyclonic vacuum cleaners, but the cyclonic action is only one factor, the other is the high efficiency rates they're able to achieve in their cleaners which separates them from the rest.

Really nice teardown, I would love to see teardowns of other Dyson products. These guys are the Apple of the home appliance world and not many people realise it. To most, a Dyson vacuum cleaner is just an expensive cleaner and to others, they're modern industrial design marvels.
