Captain401 | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

We're building the perfect retirement savings plan for startups and small businesses. We’re following in the footsteps of great companies like Gusto (formerly ZenPayroll) and Zenefits in making essential HR administration a snap for businesses large and small, and like Wealthfront, in making sound investing strategy accessible to everyone.

We also just closed a substantial seed round from top investors, but we’re currently just three people. If you’ve been wanting to dive into an early stage startup, this is the perfect time to start talking to us.

Software engineers knowledgable in (or interested in learning) React.js, Postgres, Node.js, and Golang should definitely reach out. We're especially interested in talking to full-stack hackers.

The article talked about a crowd surge that bent a steel guard rail in its force. These instances seem like a different world from any mosh pit i've seen.
In my experience, observing individual properties on model objects just isn't very useful in real world apps. Cocoa has long offered "key-value observing" (KVO) for this purpose, but other mechanisms like notifications tend to be more practical, usually because listeners need some context in order to do the best thing in response to a change, and an individual property change won't carry any of that context.

Here's a practical example... Imagine an editor where an on-screen element is deleted. The controller might do a bunch of stuff such as:

element.parent = nil
scene.clearReferencesToElement(element)
container.delete(element)
self.selection = []

If there's a listener on "container", it will get notified even before the selection was cleared. That's probably not the intention.

If we know that's going to happen, we could move the selection manipulation before the container access... But then we have fragile code that depends on implicit behavior in a model class. Always better to send an explicit event.
I've got kids toys that require a minute or two of swearing to get the battery compartment open. If my would-be assailant has the power to keep me contained for that long while he tinkers with my smart gun, I've got other troubles.

It'd at least prevent someone from grabbing your gun and immediately shooting you with it.
Content has value, and creators should be paid. But ad-supported sites default to "the nightmare" because they are not tech-savvy: bad actors can use their ad-net to do bad things.

The problem for news content is the same problem facing software: what if this stuff just isn't that valuable?
The only thing that's on your radar. Do you speak for everyone else's needs or interests?
Yeah, I had that mentality once. "Why should I use 3rd party stuff when I am a developer and can do it all myself?!?!" Then I realized I was wasting time working on stuff that don't matter, instead of working on stuff that mattered.

If that's your thing, that's your thing and go do it. But it's not a lot of peoples, and that's why Slack is so popular.

No. Stop. I'm not telling you to agree with me about Lessig. I'm saying that you can't suppress my critique of Lessig by arguing that criticisms is easy, and starting a doomed Presidential campaign is hard. You know what else is hard? Perpetual motion. I get to criticize people for trying that too.
Not sure why the downvotes. Fraud is a serious issue that can tank anyone's side project or even company. I'm curious and open to opinions on why this isn't a concern here, or why I am incorrect.

Sorry to downvoters: tell your "nona". This is who users are.
So your opinion is that people who want neighbors should consider seeing random strangers next door an improvement over people with whom they can develop long-term relationships?

> People live for years in residential neighborhoods in SF and NYC without befriending their neighbors.

The data doesn't back this up. In fact, NYC and SF are two of the best places to befriend neighbors based on the shared walkable living areas that are rare in most US cities. Here's a recent article on the phenomenon:

- http://www.vox.com/2015/10/28/9622920/housing-adult-friendsh...
I don't know about the UK, but in the US talking to people about this is likely to lead to losing your freedom (getting committed and losing other rights such as gun ownership) so I'm not surprised that most people, men or women, avoid talking about this entirely, and certainly never with a "professional."

There are a total of zero serious observers who believe Al Gore would have "nuked Afghanistan", but there's a nonzero number who believe 9/11 might not have happened had he been elected.

Al Gore is not a particularly great human being, but in addition to the banal malevolence George Bush shares with Al Gore and every other politician, and the additional evil he shares with the Neoconservative political movement he belonged to, Bush was also, as it turns out, alarmingly incompetent.

I think he's referring to AWS which sites their datacenters and have multiple fiber connections situated such that cutting one doesn't bring down the entire datacenter which is what appears to have happened here.

I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of systemd vs SMF. (I just searched for one but could not find it.) I wonder if those Linux folks who are so anti-systemd would feel the same way about SMF? When SMF came out, I don't remember any of my Solaris sysadmin friends complaining about it, they all seemed pretty excited.
Pron tends to zealously defend Java and Kotlin and bash pretty much anything else, especially Scala, but his post here today seems perfectly reasonable.
Kotlin has a real potential to replace Java for Android, since Android is stuck with Java 1.6. I think a lot of this buzz and excitement comes from the Android side.

Ceylon has yet a solid Android support I think (I could be wrong)

I have not tried on Ceylon so I cannot comment whether it is better or worse than Kotlin.

Who is suppressing anything here?

Michael_nielsen simply referenced a quote because there was a lot of critique from people who have no stake in lessigs attempt and so I guess Michael felt the urge to point that it's easy to critique and even if people fails, even obviously it's quite a lot more impressive that they even try than the million of reviewers out there.

The comment I was referring to, took issue with that quote and as far as I can see TR. And have nothing to do with Lessig.

So if you want to stop anything then please stop that strawman.

No one is suppressing yours or anyones critique of lessig, but just like you are entitled to have an opinion about him I am entitled to have one about the critique of TRs quote.

I'd recommend Ghostery; with it you can remove all kind of scripts that do not necessarily add value to the user experience.

You quickly realize how much useless scripts are loaded in the page. You'll also realize that these scripts sometimes add other scripts to that page.

For example, gizmodo.com filtered by Ghostery blocks 12 trackers. When it's disabled it detects 17 trackers.

It would presumably be fud in the sense that to merge ChromeOS and Android wouldn't require all that much in order to provide the functionality people use ChromeOS for. If it provides Chrome + pnacl + support for installing/running Chrome apps, it won't even have to be visible to people that the system underneat is largely Android unless they want to know.

I have a ChromeBook, and to be honest, I have no idea what the filesystem is like, even. As much as the geek in me wants to play around, the pragmatic in me recognises that I bought it to have a light, low maintenance way of running a web brower + ssh on the go, and is too busy doing other stuff than poking around...

So assuming that people will be able to keep running the same apps, with a similarly clean launcher, there's every reason for them to sell that as "ChromeOS isn't going anywhere" even if they may or may not be fibbing from a purely technical point of view.
It depends how you use it.

At the moment the gradle plugin doesn't do incremental compilation. If you use it for Android, that's an issue because of the Android build system.

I use Kotlin for free standing programs that run on my laptop/desktop. In these cases it's about as fast as Java, but that's because IntelliJ controls the compilation itself and gradle/maven is used only rarely.

> "Why should I use 3rd party stuff when I am a developer and can do it all myself?!?!"

But that's not what I'm doing.

Company A does really good semantic analysis.
Company B does chat, say Slack.
Company C file storage.
Company D does search.

Now, I'm spinning up or using a current server. In this case, lets do IRC to Company Chat, B (bidi bridge). I connect to Company B with my user, and a user on IRC. Logging is turned on and saved, to Company C.

Whenever messages are sent, they are run through API from company A, checking semantics and feel. Score applied personally to help devs be more humane.

While all this is happening, search D is going through files presented and making a searchable DB of date/time, channel, user, and text.

And, I just created a new product.

Seattle's traffic engineers already ensure crummy flow. Just watch how the traffic lights change for proof. The lights change without regard for the traffic at the moment.

The city finds the funds to mount cameras on most of the lights and license plate recognizers, etc., but cannot seem to use the cameras to simply look at the traffic and calculate when to change the lights for max flow.

Things could be a lot better without building or expanding any new roads.

Yes, people's fear of what MH treatment involves is one barrier that causes avoidable harm.

Suicidal thinking covers a range of severity. In England you are unlikely to be detained in hospital against your will (detained under section of the mental health act; "sectioned") or admitted informally to a mental health hospital for suicidal thinking unless you're at the most severe end.

This is partly because there is a lack of inpatient beds, but also because inpatient treatment isn't suitable for many people and you should get better results from outpatient treatment. (Although there are pressures there too).

There is anonymous support available from the Samaritans or CALMZone. Or you could see your GP, who would probably (hopefully) refer you to your local crisis team or MH gateway team.
That's the consolation, but there's always the risk that he actually somehow manages to win over a few percent.
> Right, you're supposed to use the published interfaces.

You missed the point. I'll isolate each component for you:

"[A] database was being publicly shamed for producing a ... unit file ... [that used] a shell script [to start] the database[.]"

"[The database devs mentioned] that it was the only way for them to avoid tying their database to the systemd signaling lib."

"[O]ne of the systemd devs [mentioned] they could just use a socket that systemd provides."

"[But this] ... 'option' ... was presented [at the bottom of the man page for the systemd signalling lib that the database authors were trying to not use] as a note on the internal workings of systemd."

"[You] will find warning after warning about not using systemd internals, as the devs reserve the right to change the behavior of those internals at any time."

So, this "option" -as documented- is something that you cannot rely on, as it is subject to change at any time, without warning.

> With respect to socket activation, a pretty useful tutorial...

Tutorials are no substitute for documentation. Documentation describes the contracts that the software commits to. Tutorials can exploit edge cases and undocumented behaviors without warning. Moreover, if the docs say that the tutorial is demonstrating a feature that's subject to change at any time, you'd have to be a madman to rely on it.

> The DBus API can be found here...

If the database devs don't want to depend on the systemd signalling lib, I bet they really don't want to depend on DBus. This might come as a surprise to some, but many servers don't run a DBus daemon.
To be fair, they're setting up the backup link. This DC, like many others, is well out of the way so running distinct fiber is lengthy process and even localizing fault and getting crews on site can be a drag.

The location of Beauharnois probably being chosen because there's a Hydro plant there with 1903 MW of installed capacity.

No it's not an attempt at that. Its simply putting a welcome perspective on things since everyone was busy second guessing without having any stakes. He simply tried to enrich the discussion and IMO did.

I'm in a similar boat with using IntelliJ super early on, and while I agree that the changes don't seem as huge as they were in the early days (mainly because, as you noted, it's now a fairly rich and complete product), they still are providing some cool features. For instance, in IntelliJ 14.1, they added a Java decompiler with debugging capabilities, so you can now ctrl+click into compiled code and set breakpoints. (http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/02/debug-decompiled-code...) .. that's been pretty cool for my workflow, at least.
But the weird thing is the stolen content, even when it's on a crappier site with no shares etc., knocking the original out of its slot. I.e., something (probably freshness) is causing the stolen content on the crappy site to be higher-ranked than the original content on the strong site. That seems avoidable (and in Google's best interest).
