Lack of revenue should be interpreted as "lack of facebook-esque" revenue. I'm not suggesting they couldn't be running a nice, stable business. But if the service is being shutdown, it is very, very likely they weren't seeing the growth numbers they would expect at Facebook, and that the team's engineering talent could likely yield much higher returns if deployed elsewhere in the company.
Also, SNI is available since IE 7, so the times where you need an extra IPv4 address for every SSL domain are almost over.

A friend got a WinPhone 8, he said it was okay. Then he upgraded it to Win10 and totally hated it. It felt really slow and buggy. For example it completely messed up the contacts list, it showed random profile pictures instead of the correct one from ActiveDirectory/Exchange in his business environment. Needless to say that company stopped the WinPhone experiments and stayed with iOS and Android devices.

Another friend really liked WinPhone 6.5 back then. And I have nice memories with WinMobile 2004 too. But that was the WinCE branch.
That's a line every consultancy that ever had to compete with another consultancy has told at least one client. But the truth is, for the overwhelming majority of application software, and particularly for any software that would procure a pentest through a market like this, the Bishop Fox "F-Team" is perfectly up to the task and far more reliable than a talented rando.

The software pentesters with gold-plated resumes do high-value targets (because there are more high-value targets than there are pentesters to service them). Google is not going to source Google Mail pentesters on DICE. Adobe doesn't source pentesters for Reader on DICE. Microsoft doesn't source pentesters for SCHANNEL.DLL on DICE. Apple doesn't source pentesters for the iPhone bootloader on DICE. That's where the A-Team ends up.

What transparency are you adding here?

If the argument behind this was, "we're going to drive down the price of pentesting", that would be a coherent pitch, although I'd still want to hear how you expect this service will do that; again, the market is supply-constrained.
I recently spend a few days on my old Nokia Lumia 920 because I had busted my Android phone and was waiting for a new one in the mail.

The OS (WP8) itself was actually quite delightful. I really enjoyed using it for those few days. The home screen is different, fun, and incredibly useful. It was buttery-smooth too. The built-in apps - messaging, people hub, cortana, camera (maybe more Nokia than Microsoft), were all great and seemed to have that extra bit of polish that many of my favorite Android apps lack.

However, not all built-in apps were great (no landscape mode for music) and lack of third party apps, or at least good third party apps reminded me why I left it for Android in the first place.

I have a Sony Xperia Z5 now, if anyone's interested. It's the closest thing IMO to a Nokia Android phone, which is what I really want.

Excel has a tight development loop. You can see the data and work with it at the same time. No need to compile or run. It's always in debug mode.
It's also immediately obvious to anyone that the average person in America has a job which is much better than the assembly line drudge work outsourced to China, and the argument being made is that US economy has the additional funds (if not the political will) to compensate the relatively small number of people who are unable to find any work since their manufacturing roles were outsourced, especially since the dollar can purchase an awful lot more consumer goods than it used to be able to.
Showing a missing type annotation error is better than showing errors at all the wrong places.

Showing no errors is a separate argument entirely, and was addressed by the parent poster (noImplicitAny). I will add that I always use TypeScript with --noImplicitAny which indeed does result with TypeScript DEMANDING type annotations for arguments. Of which you complained:

> Having to declare types on everything even if it's just generics beats the productivity argument.

and to which I respond that

1. its not everything, just function arguments

2. its better to demand function argument types than to show unhelpful error locations.

Implicit any is (was) useful for the early migration phase of the project. At that point you (had to) rename everything from JS to TS to use the compiler, and would get a type error for every unannotated function (which might not be a type error at all). The TS team had to choose between:

1. spending a lot of time and effort to get proper deep unification like Flow's working at acceptable performance in a single-threaded process, even without incremental recompilation, or

2. default to a loose "type checker" and provide a gradual tightening valve for users - at the cost of demanding a bit more annotations: for function arguments (and only if the function is not a part of a single expression or statement where the type can be inferred - e.g. types will be inferred for lambdas passed as function arguments)

(1) may have been worth it if it actually resulted with useful error messages, however as demonstrated above, it often doesn't. So they went with (2), and I'm glad they did - otherwise I'd have to deal with mostly-unannotated TypeScript codebases that produce useless error messages every time you do some sort of refactoring, or enforce type annotations via conventions / code reviews / linters.

Flow's inference is a beautiful marvel of engineering, really, and the type system avoided some legacy TS pitfalls (has safer treatment of nulls, proper union and intersection types from the start) but I'm afraid its not that big of a marvel of practicality.

SketchDeck (YC W14) is hiring a first sales development role
Multi-role aircraft aren't a bad idea, so long as each role somewhat overlaps the other in requirements. Many well designed aircraft do 2-3 roles very well (e.g recon/attack/fighter roles).

If you mix in another role that doest't match the hardware requirements of the first role that's when you are asking for problems. CAS, SToVL are such examples that won't blend with the first 3 without massive compromises. Full stealth is also a requirement that is rarely absolutely necessary, but adds to the cost and lowers performance of every other aspect of the plane.

When these compromises had been discovered the project should have been scrapped, the SToVL elements thrown out and a separate plane should have been procured for that role. Lots of components could be shared, just not the airframe.

I too believe the project is very near the edge now. It will survive as there is too much prestige invested, but if a few big players like Canada or Australia decide to get zero F-35's the unit development cost would skyrocket which would force other buyers to to back out. If was LM I'd be sending huge lobbying checks to Canada right now.

While I share the "struggle", I do not 100% share The opinions expressed in this article.

You can always be honest and professional by stating the obvious, that is:

- An idea by itself is worth pretty much nothing.

- I do not share your opinion and I do develop projects for a living so we can agree on a price and I can develop a prototype for you.

These two statements are more than enough to end the conversation very quickly and professionally if your interlocutor is not 100% inclined to actually develop his/her project.

And I really don't like phrases like "Learning to code (and most tech stuff) isn't hard". Learning to code beyond triviality is hard and that's why there are so many tutorials on the internet, and it takes a lot of time and dedication.

And seriously, why do you devalue your (and other people's) work so much?

Grow a pair and learn to say to people:

- "I might be 100% happy and willing to develop your idea, but writing code is my job we can agree on a price. Otherwise, go talk someone else"

Or:

- I am sorry, but I don't share your idea and I am not interested in developing it. You might want to try talking someone else.

Do not elaborate much if not asked to. People don't like advices they didn't ask for.
I imagine that type interference might be what an advocate of dynamically typed languages sees in statically typed languages.
If you are post college and move to another city, naturally people at work you connect well with will eventually become friends. I am kind of an introvert too and since i spend most of my freetime with my girlfriend it is hard to meet new people outside of work and spend so much time with them so they become real friends. But isn't it the same as in college or school ? Most of your friends are people you spend considerable time with and that is often work/school/studying.
Oh, Tessel is kinda neat. I mostly use ESP8266 with the Arduino libs and PlatformIO and am not much of a Javascript fan, but I understand the appeal of these sort of devices.

I'm just looking forward to getting my hands on the ESP32. Espressif is packing a lot of bang for you buck into those; I just hope they get around to making a native SDK that is better documented. I've used the native SDK on the ESP8266 a bit and it was miserable.

The A10 is an example of "the right tool for the job."

Give it the wrong job and, sure, it will fail.

What the last decade plus had demonstrated, is that there is still plenty of work around at which it excels. And for which the military as yet has no comparable nor superior replacement.

Ongoing, critical work (well, if you insist on being in that theater, to begin with).

In the middle of building a house, you don't throw out your existing hammer two weeks before the new, improved model with the carbon nanotube handle maybe becomes available.

Developers aren't ditching their monitors because in 1 - 3 years maybe Oculus and the like are going to give us "infinite", 3D viewspace.

I'm sorry to get a bit emotional and strident, here. But a problem the U.S. military has, is -- in good part, for politics, personal power, and money -- bypassing more effective and economical systems for marketing that has yet to be substantiated. They have enough raw resources and innovation to eventually brute force and trick around the resulting limitations, but it costs a lot -- including sometimes lives.

Those aren't private datacenters. Amazon/Azure/Rackspace/Google Cloud are public datacenters providing services for customers, so they will obviously be using virtualization. Personally I think public cloud is going to kill private cloud altogether, but that's an entirely different discussion.
But in the specific case of private datacenters, I believe, virtualization is dead, and many of my colleagues share the same opinion. Just because it's not common around the world doesn't mean that the change in trend and thoughts hasn't hit an inflection point. Virtualization has done an amazing job, and there's a reason why it has become so popular. But just like all other technologies, I think its going to be passed for something simpler that scales better.

It was very well made. It's easy to use and yet but also has great features and shortcuts for power users. There's lots of genius little features not available elsewhere, like grouping columns or formulas over columns or rows (e.g. sum(A:A)). I often abused it with 50mb spreadsheets (a bad practice fyi) and it could often take it. The version I used rarely crashed.

For most software I use, I see lots of things that need improvement. With Excel, I can only think of a few. (If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, please add matchifs, it's desperately needed).

This makes me sad. I've played with Windows Phone a few times and it felt buttery smooth (even my Nexus 6P it still pauses occasionally; granted the pausing on Android gets less and less with each version but I'm still a tiny bit disappointed it still pauses unlike my past iPhones and Windows phone). Their idea for a unified OS across devices is an awesome goal as well. It's really cool to see the latest Windows Phones and watch them plug into a keyboard, mouse and monitor and bam you have the FULL version of Microsoft Office apps and a Windows 10 like desktop.

But in today's market you have to have the apps to succeed. They never really got the apps. It's really disappointing in my opinion.

A few thoughts:

It's hard to envision meeting every applicant's needs with a single webapp. Excel and such may have a lack of depth to them, but at least it's easy to add any kind of data you need anywhere. Can you think of everything that any type of applicant might want, and put it all in there without also making it overwhelmingly complex to use?

The financial pressures on something like this could become awkward. Your target audience is applicants, but not many of them are going to be willing to spend money on something like that. But hiring companies are also going to be very interested in this, especially if you're doing any kind of tracking across multiple applicants over longer periods of time. And they are willing to spend quite a lot of money on the recruiting process. If you get much traction, you may find yourself in a situation where you're making peanuts off of ads or something, not even compensating your hosting costs or personal development time, while multiple huge companies are offering you big bucks if only you'll do a couple of things the way they want.

I think that's backward. Its shortened teleomeres that are linked to cell malfunction? Elongation is the supposed cure. Or is there a syndrome where cancerous cells keep lengthening theirs?

Ah I see the article mentions this. But years ago it was understood that cancerous cells originally happened because of damage from short teleomeres? That end-of-life cells would divide badly and malfunction, sometimes by reproducing endlessly.

So its a matter of timing? Young people want to keep their teleomeres long; but if you get cancerous cells then you want to clip them all. Sadly, that means end-of-life for the rest of your body. But no more cancer.

EA Stock Melting After Weak Guidance
> Office is great because users in most business settings can quickly pick up any of its applications

My experience is that 'users in business settings' absolutely refuse to consider any alternatives, mainly because of two 'fear factors':
1.) "Everyone else in my industry uses Microsoft Office products so I must as well"
2.) (Usually unstated explicitly) "Learning an alternative is going to cost me time and money and personal effort"

Sure, Excel can be a useful spreadsheet tool, but Word is a clumsy and difficult publishing tool. Many alternatives from LaTeX to LibreOffice to InDesign tend to be more portable and reliable but require the user to assume a degree of risk for learning something new and different. That seems to be enough to keep the majority of users away.
Not going to lie I thought this was going to be about the Eve Online VR release when I opened it.
I have many small open source projects, so bitbucket (which has unlimited public repositories) is in theory a better fit for these: each project can gets its own repository, vs. having each project in a sub-directory of one repository in github.

Unfortunately, bitbucket lacks some features: their markdown syntax does not allow HTML and they have no views / downloads statistics. The lack of statistics means that their search feature is not so good- no way to sort by popularity.

I'm trying gitlab now: it also doesn't seem to have views/downloads stats. Also the web-site was slow a few days ago.

The lack of statistics is odd: even sourceforge has this.

That's actually not quite correct. The loan itself is an asset to the bank. When you sign the promissory note, they then give you a balance at the bank in the amount of the principal of the note, THAT is the liability.

The loan is the asset because that is money coming into the bank. Your deposits are liabilities because that is money you could withdraw from the bank.

So it is both a liability and an asset. They don't create it out of thin air, they create it out of ink and paper. It's a hack of the double-entry bookkeeping system.
