The official RoboVM page doesn't mention anymore the free option. They have some open source (at least for now) code on Github and you can fork it if you wish.

It's in the public interest if encryption and digital security are in the public interest. People like this have a voice that's actually heard when those topics come up. It's just a gentle reminder that actively sabotaging security "for national security" can come back to bite.
Yeah, I really dig those :D The concept of a "presentation component" has the exact same semantics as a pure function, so I'm excited that we're actually gonna get that abstraction.

The part that concerns me, though, is the logic component. Hierarchical state/event management seems like a hard problem, and React does it okay, but a lot of things end up coupled together: why does a component that manages a state hierarchy and event flow need to be coupled to the idea of rendering a virtual DOM tree? Can't I just declare that my TodoApp state is a composition of my TodoList state and TodoForm state without also declaring how I'll eventually render them?

I wonder if anyone's come up with a really great abstraction for this yet that checks all the boxes. I like the philosophy behind how Redux manages state, but React provides clearer encapsulation of state and doesn't make parent components think about the events that their children are handling.

Redux is even crazy younger than React, though, so there's still plenty of room to grow there, too!
But the SF86 isn't actually classified. It's just Privacy Act information and FOUO. The Privacy Act says how to protect other people's information and FOUO means "For Official Use Only," but he's not breaking any laws by having his own SF86 on a public email service. He's fine as long as he isn't using it for unofficial business (which I'm not sure how) and he doesn't have other people's SF86 .
On top of that the previous CIA director was undone by a Gmail account he shared with his mistress. You'd think email security would have come up during the onboarding process. The CIA is an intelligence agency, but its leaders are apparently just regular bureaucrats.

After spending a lot of my career searching for the best paying job and not giving a shit about anything else I have recently realized that what I am doing and who I am working for is kind of important to me (good pay is still nice don't get me wrong).
For that reason I have been working on building no-bs relationships with my managers. I tell them how I am feeling, both good and bad, and hope they'll do the same. The bosses this type of relationship has worked well with were the type of people I enjoyed working for/with and the ones who get that "life happens".
In my opinion the good managers understand that their job is to enable their employees and remove road blocks. If your manger doesn't feel that way then maybe it's better you move on.
This is great! But I would also include CodeCombat and CodingGame to resources, I think these are amazing places to start for kids.

It's even more unfortunate because of all the social media platforms, I think Twitter is the most naturally appealing for third-party development. It's very data driven, there is a good API, the data model and flow is clear, it's almost begging to be parsed and extended. If they are ever going to get anywhere, they really need to embrace this and empower developers to create cool stuff in the Twitter ecosystem.
Lucid dreaming is exhausting. When I was younger I trained myself to maintain that thread of control as a fell asleep. It is an incredibly powerful experience to be able to command every aspect of reality. I didn't wake up rested though, it was the exact opposite. Managing both my own actions and decisions and the entire world I was interacting with wiped me out.

As a side note, it was much harder to learn to stop doing it, than to start.

Here we go again. How many times has Twitter sworn to change and treat developers with the respect they deserve? I've lost count. Actions speak louder than words, for starters Dorsey needs to amend those restrictive terms. Twitter is a great platform with a trove of data not only for research purposes, but for creating third party clients and more.

It is time for Twitter and Dorsey to prove they've changed. Twitter will continue to fail without developer support. Look at how successful Facebook has been nurturing the developer community. Basically every site has a login with Facebook button now.

> "I'm currently unhappy and unable to work at the level I expect of myself."

I think this is a really good way of putting it. I think it's also important to realize that you may go through stages of feeling like this fairly frequently. It's when you don't do something about it (often because you feel like you can't), that it gets to be a problem.

The conversation "I want to do more / I want to do better. Here are the things that are in my way", feels a bit awkward at first, but in reality it is music to a manager's ears -- especially if your manager has been thinking, "What's going on with Joe? I really expect more from him." Often they are afraid to broach the subject because they don't want to put pressure on you and potentially make things worse.

Removing roadblocks so that people can do their work really well is the job of a manager. I think that many people don't realize this and as a result don't take advantage of/empower their managers. Often people view their manager as an impediment to work around (or simply as the gatekeeper to getting a higher salary).

Even if things are going well, I recommend that people get into the habit of saying, "I want to improve X, but I'm having difficulty because of Y" (even if Y is, "I don't know what to do"). See how your manager reacts and whether or not they can help you (directly or indirectly). A good manager is worth a lot!
I don't know about you particularly but I'm certain that there are a great many people who think that the financial system is ripping them off somehow when they really don't understand what's going on. Just look at High Frequency Trading & the Michael Lewis book. It comes up on HN every month or three and there are always people convinced that somehow these traders are "jumping in front of" other people's orders to steal their money when this is definitely not the case.
> Hustling hard for years on end while being frugal is another option, but it is no guarantee of success.

If it's getting worse, you haven't hit full burnout yet. You should stop right now unless you really want to suffer that, let this be a cautionary tale: http://jacquesmattheij.com/dealing-with-burn-out I would just give a 2 week notice out of the blue. I'd say I'd made plans for a year's 'sabbatical', and I would give that to the company as the primary excuse for leaving -- if you can work out a deal where they'll hire you back then great but don't hold your breath. If you don't have a year's expenses saved up then you should also think about moving to a less expensive area. You can always move back when (and if) you decide to get a job in the area again, which may be much less than a year but if at the end of the year you still feel aversion your next Ask HN should be on reentering the job market but wanting to transition out of a pure programming role into something else similarly well paid (but maybe not even in tech).

Edit: Downvoters may not think this response is justified, but full burnout is very serious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnout_%28psychology%29 If you're still at the stage where a "break", even one so long as a year, can help you get your head back in the game, you need to take advantage of that now rather than later before you burn out completely and spend at least a year but maybe even a decade to build yourself back up to a passable shadow of your former self, productivity-in-the-field-wise. That you have been struggling to fight burnout for a year already while it's getting worse suggests you need a longer break and perhaps a big shift in day-to-day work rather than a simple week or two near a beach without internet.
They only seem that way to you because you do not deal in finance. A system can only be as simple as the business needs it's supporting whether than be a piece of code or a financial product. Some pieces of code are VERY complex because the business demands it. Same goes for financial instruments.

At least it has a scroll bar. It works really badly, in that it doesn't actually scroll the page, but it's there. I have seen this kind of page which didn't.

Sounds like one of those "the US has been keeping aliens in Area 51" kind of things. And what I mean by that is that if it were true, we'd probably know about it by now.

And really, don't you think the US gov would push that narrative across all the US media if it learned it was true? I mean, they've been pushing the "Snowden is a Russian spy" story already - and that's not even true.

> which completely nullifies their service as a spontaneous click-link-and-watch option

Agreed. I, personally, can't stand Facebook. However, most of the people I know who create videos now only upload to Facebook so I had to make a Facebook account. The eyeballs follow the content. So, the question is, "Why are the content creators ignoring YouTube?"

And, actually, with pre-roll ads, YouTube did a good job of wiping out spontaneous already. It's not unusual for me to to click link, ad starts, close tab. I doubt it's coincidence that .gifv started taking off after pre-roll YouTube ads became ubiquitous (before you'd just link the YouTube video).
I'll try that, thanks!

Ask HN: How to Become Better at UI Design as a Software Engineer?
I'm pretty good at modeling data, doing heavy back-end coding, and even working with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I'd like to get better at actually designing interfaces and general web design layouts.

I can take an existing html bootstrap template and slice it up into partials and make things work with Angular or jQuery, or even good old server side template rendering. I want to take my skills further and be able to come up with unique designs for web applications.

Can anyone provide good resources or a starting point to become a good UI Designer?

I don't believe that it's impossible... while the complexity of the crime itself might be beyond most people's understanding, there is a virtually limitless toolbox at the hands of federal prosecutors, from RICO to conspiracy charges, which have exceptionally lower bars to proving guilt.

This policy has recently changed but it's mostly too late to prosecute for the obvious amount of outright fraud that triggered the financial crisis of 2008. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/12/business/dealbook/justice-...
