Sure, the government can. But that doesn't mean Netflix tries to satisfy the laws of all 196 countries in the world. Netflix is a US company, and they only need to satisfy US laws.

This is with the context that you're hiring a front end engineer.

I would assume that it'd be very important, but many people who I talk to tell me what jQuery or libraries that provide a similar API to it are everywhere, so there's not point in really learning how to do things natively.

Google Chrome extensions for web designers
Very interesting angle. I am heavily using WeChat on a daily basis for all purpose: keep in touch with friends, read news, share content (audio, video, articles, pdf, etc.), call people worldwide (very good video stream in China), get alerts from servers, quickly reach distributed teams, pay in restaurants or bars, order train tickets, transfer money to friends, pay online, top up my mobile, etc.

It is by far the app that I use the most on my mobile. For a lot of my contacts, I do not have their phone numbers, email address or full name. I also believe I do not know anybody that do not have a WeChat account (from my landlord, the restaurant down my work to the legal contact of some of our contracts).

I will be leaving Asia soon, I am not sure what will replace this while settling in Europe. My phone could only use WeChat, I will not see big differences, save for emails. What other apps are so central for other markets? I merely use Whatsapp but it is far from having the same extend of functionalities nor such a complete experience.
DISCLAIMER: I'm a MongooseIM dev.

Prosody doesn't scale horizontally / cluster [1]. It's a piece of cake to deploy it, but it's simply a different niche - you won't have a highly-available system serving hundreds of thousands of users with Prosody.

MongooseIM is a fork of ejabberd. The biggest benefit now (due to ejabberd catching up with some others) is an open-source huge XMPP compliance and integration test harness (ejabberd's open-source test suite is a joke and it's not known whether any closed-source suite exists). We pay more attention to failure scenarios in distributed setups (handle node downs, clean up transient data). Refactored code / cleaner internal interfaces improve iteration speed on customizations if you're interested in extending the system.

[1]: When I researched Prosody on this topic I found out that some clustering support was in development, but as far as I could tell it was far from usable. Honestly, I'd be grateful if somebody could shed more light on this.

Let's put it this way: I think every good webdev should more or less know what the jQuery functions are in native JS otherwise they won't be able to code effiently. If you know what you are doing, go ahead, otherwise I would be careful when building "scalable" web apps and using jQuery w/o any experience in the underlying javascript.

And Edogan's turkey is far from fallen. He is also rogue autocrat protected by Article 5 of NATO. And from what I observe he has cleaned the state from people that were believing in Ataturk's Turkey. So the secular people will have an uphill battle against him.

And we have the Kurds (that might suddenly begin to receive a lot of russian weapons and training soon)

So much wrong could happen with Europe and middle east now - I envy the people in the Americas - it is good to know you are on a different continent.

The most recent thing I can think of is seating arrangements.

At my current workplace seating arrangements are mostly random. Someone here had the idea that we should group people by seniority so that people with related issues will be in close proximity.

However, at my previous workplace we grouped by seniority, and someone had the idea that we should mix it up so that project teams would be in close proximity.

[edit]: And lets not forget outsourcing vs. insourcing, grouping departments by geography vs. grouping departments by business type, etc., etc.

Yes, if you jailbreak your iPhone, install openssh, SSH to localhost and start your specially compiled emacs for arm binary. A bluetooth keyboard is recommended. If it's just about viewing you could export to html, or export to a file that another Outliner app can easily import.

The same method of operation (native emacs) on Android is much more convenient, by using a Linux chroot (Linux Deploy). Android users also have it much more easy in the org compatible App department, they can use Orgzly!

Well an outliner is really faster but sucks at showing the big picture. A graphical mindmapper is slower but is great when you want an overview.

Ultimately you would need a combination of both, one where you create your outline and it's rendered as a visual mindmap.

I'm not aware of any software that does that though.
It's probably judicious to avoid using eval in a lot of everyday application, but there's places where using it isn't particularly harmful. One example of this is when using Webpack, if you set the devtool option to use eval, it'll build and rebuild faster than the other options.

Another cool thing that you find is JavaScript is the "with" keyword. A lot of people don't even know it exists. I think Chrome's DevTools uses it along with eval. When you type something invalid, you can see stuff like:

with (typeof __commandLineAPI !== 'undefined' ? __commandLineAPI : { __proto__: null }) {
whatever

In fact, cockroaches are even cheaper! See, the way to do it is to feed cockroaches, and only cockroaches to chicken. Then, when the chicken gets really fat (full of cockroaches protein!), you kill the chicken, give the food to human to eat. All those juice from the cockroaches.

Any normal surveillance system. E.g. an Axis IP camera with ZoneMinder (not that great but FOSS) or one of several commercial network video recorder (NVR) options running on a machine somewhere. Ubiquiti even makes IP cameras and an NVR appliance now. Any decent NVR will also support remote video streaming, you might need to configure your network appliances appropriately.

Don't do analog. It's cheaper but it's not really worth it, you should get at least 720p these days (that means IP) and I'd reckon analog equipment won't be easy to buy for very many more years.

Don't do wifi. You need to get power to the camera anyway, so run ethernet with PoE. All these WiFi surveillance cameras are crazy, jammers are pretty easy to obtain and burglars are going to start using them. In a business installation, you should segment the cameras from the rest of the network, with VLANs or separate switches. Dual-home your NVR or lock it down at a firewall. It's just good practice.

The current trend of cloud-based surveillance is something I find very strange. It's more convenient in some ways than a local DVR or NVR but that comes at a big cost, including often monthly service fees! I think it's really only because of a lack of sufficiently consumer-friendly NVRs. There might be some money there for someone who takes that on.

If you wanna nitpick, at least GCC doesn't use a separate preprocessor binary anymore, the preprocessor is integrated into the compiler binary.

You're of course correct in that preprocessing and template resolution are separate steps in the compilation process, but his underlying point still stands, namely that a large reason why C++ compilation is slow is the need to include reams and reams of code.

>they clearly aren't rational or else they'd realize a few thousand a week isn't worth life in prison.

Actually, they are pretty rational. You can't say no to the boss. You say no to the boss, you die. So they either deliver that drug, or die. They choose to deliver the drug, even if it means getting caught and doing life in prison. That's better than the boss killing you for not delivering the drug.

>The criminals shooting at each other weekly...

Again, they're not being irrational here. If you don't shoot, the other guy will shoot you. You either shoot, or you die because the other guy shoots you.
Simple. Get any IP camera and configure firewall on your router accordingly to disable its access to anything else than local network.

The technology used by the police seems to be nothing more than support for their program of targeted intervention. The system does not only identify potential perpetrators, but also their victims. Using data to identify people most in need of "concrete assistance in the form of social services, job training, childcare" just makes the process of doling out limited resources more efficient.

>> “I think this is state of the art for predictive policing,” Lewin says.
>> How will this form of predictive policing be received?

Use of the word "predictive" here is utterly inaccurate because the police are not predicting anything, but rather identifying at-risk individuals. The inferential leap from "people with these n properties have historically been party to gun violence" to "prediction" is enormous. As soon as one mentions "prediction" and police in the same breath, it suggests Minority Report-style impingement on personal freedoms of some kind. The reason I stress this is because such a program might very well work to reduce gun violence, and labelling it as though it were the genesis of a Big Brother is not only disingenuous, but may also harm the program's legitimacy in the eyes of people who have the power to shut it down.
Fantastic, thanks for the info :)
It was intentional: "In order for the firms' promise not to sue to be valid, they said, the video would have to be viewed at least 200,000 times within two months of its publication this week.

>They don't act in their own self interests.

Actually, they do. For example, when a criminal steals, he's acting purely in his own interest. He doensn't care about anyone else's interests. He doesn't care about his victim's interest. He only care about his own interest. Which is why he steals. For his own self interest.

The problem is, society also has it's own interest. And it's in the best interest of society to jail the thief.

Anyway, I think you meant to say that criminal doesn't think about the consequences of their actions. Again, because everything criminals do are for their own self interest. Even doing something stupid like drugs, is for their own self interest (in this case, he does it because his interest is to feel high).
True. The value here is for less technical stakeholders. IMHO BDD bridges the gap between the underlying technical implementation and the business requirements, providing automated QA and documentation.
I agree, but unfortunately that's not how it works. All founders believe that they can succeed. Every VC believes that their investment is going to become the next billion dollar company, etc. Ideally, options are the icing on cake, but the reality is that most companies use options as a way to reduce their immediate expenses - for start-ups, cash is like oxygen. Most start-ups die not because of their competition, but they run out of money.
