I don't see this being the case in bigger companies in the uk e.g. government, health, utilities, finance. It will definitely help if you have some business specific knowledge too. Try to match this to where you live I'm in the Midlands and there are a lot of utilities and retail companies who can't get enough people, same with banking and finance in London.
Uber Proposes $28.5M Settlement Over Safe Ride Fee Class Action Lawsuit
Zoning laws are not simply about taxes. What if your neighbor decided to open a nightclub out of his garage one day, would it be okay as long as they paid taxes? The externalities imposed have to be accounted for.
I have an idea. What if some startups began incorporating hiking and/or climbing (easy/moderate skill level) into their process ? You can find trailheads that have wifi at various waypoints. The team could plan challenges and expeditions that span multiple days, but instead of hiking all day like the pros they set a less grueling pace and hack more. The company could purchase gear, and could rent private wifi-shelters along the way that are stocked with modern amenities, tiki torches, rest rooms, ready-to-go-bonfire pit, gormet catered cuisine, and more. This way there really is a comfy environment to spend time resting and working (perhaps for more than one day) at each major waypoint. There could be pre-planned short nature hikes around the waypoint, and the team could engage a nature conservationist or an expert on the local geography.

I imagine that this kind of expedition planning could even be provisioned somehow as a service, so there might be a startup idea in there somewhere :)

I'm imagining a good way to ease into it might be first climbing the flatirons in Boulder or Stone Mountain in Atlanta.

This is an advice to use C in a way that resembles higher level languages. But it you want to do so, why not simply use a higher level language?

The power of C -- which distinguishes it from most other languages -- is the ability to allocate almost everything statically.

In fact, the older I get the more I appreciate pre-Algol60 way to allocating stack frames statically.
Except that it IS broken. That's why we're having this discussion. The "Dear Github" post is trying to say "the process of making OSS is broken" but is asking for a software solution to a human problem.

Linus' approach to project management is to chase away everyone by being a "gentleman sausage". He has the sheer technical competence to succeed in spite of this, but it's not a successful approach for most people, and dudes attempting to emulate Linus chase out the decent human beings.

Making the process of making OSS sustainable for mere mortals will go a long way to making more OSS.
Eh, I'm a snob, I know, but I think the UX for both this and the 404 page is poor.

For the dataviz, I noticed many nits, but for brevity I'll say this:, I think the visualization falls way short of communicating patterns in the data, or indeed illustrating any relative significance of a given match set over others. The design and the narrative need some work. I can see the gender matches are illustrated, but it isn't communicated why that is important. The D3 development work is adequate, but within that, there are some behaviors that could use some tweaks finesse (for example on desktop, when hovering across multiple items to a specific, the experience stalls slightly while calculating the graph updates for each item).

The 404 page shows some personality for sure, so that's cool, but a 1.6meg choppy animated gif isn't exactly awesome, and the repeat-x doesn't add anything either.
That title puts a pretty heavy spin on the story, so we changed it to a factual, representative sentence from the article. If someone suggests a better title, we can change it again.
So what?

Let the strongest do as they please - very democratic, indeed.

Just because you could tax them and the city might profit doesn't automatically invalidate the reasoning behind the current rules banning practices like this in the first place.

Maybe the reasoning is flawed. OK - then prove it, lobby for a change, but not just do as you wish and ignore the current laws because they are in the way of your business model.

This kind of disruptive thinking is a slippery slope imho. And I could argue lot's of evil with this line of thought.

SNR = 10log(Ps/Pw), solving

Ps/Pw = 10^(SNR/10) = 10^(20/10) == 100

A signal 20db above the noise, you could put your eye out with it.

db is confusing, when you're talking voltage it's 20log(Vs/Vw) And in absolute terms engineers talk about the power over 1mW.

Myself I get miffed a bit because people have been conditioned to think in terms of trying to pull facts out of crappy data sets using poorly thought out statistics. However in a lot of engineering and physics fields the data is often really good. Often good enough that you can work off a single measurement.
My thoughts, too.

Though the question is why haven't they removed these earlier? Were they waiting to do it? Or was this just a result of incompetence followed by a panicked response?
I really don't like flash. It's full of security holes and its primary uses annoy the living hell out of me. So I only use a browser that has it when it's on my terms.
This isn't that uncommon. Apple and Samsung are competitors in many markets, but Apple will still buy Samsung parts.
These arguments seem to be mostly related to Amazon API Gateway rather than Lambda. (Handling errors on invalid input, returning response codes other than 200.) Lambda was also first available for JavaScript before Python, so probably the JSON event and callback model is a more natural fit for Node.js apps.

I would claim that deployment tools like Serverless are relatively safe to use even in production, because once the application is deployed, the tool itself is no longer in the critical execution path. Risks are mostly related to the development process being slowed down if the tool starts failing for some reason. In such situations you can still use Amazon's AWS Console or CLI tools.
They have to. It is part of the strategy and how it can manage to stay alfoat. At some point software consulting business was big so they had consultants for big projects. Then I don't know cloud got bit, so now what should they do, keep hoards of consults on payroll as a jobs program like TSA? Maybe retrain them? The fastest and easiest way it so lay them off.

At some point I've heard they sold cheese slicers. They probaby had experts in that. What should they do when the market situation changes? Keep selling and hiring more people in that area or lay them off.
> Are you talking about the ability to NXDOMAIN [star].example.com while also whitelisting this.example.com?

Yeah, you can totally do that! Details are here [0][1], but in your RPZ zone file, you use a CNAME with a value of . to return NXDOMAIN, and a CNAME with a value of rpz-passthru. to process the query normally:

;allow www.sinfest.net, but deny all others, including sinfest.net
www.sinfest.net CNAME rpz-passthru.
sinfest.net CNAME .
*.sinfest.net CNAME .

And to demonstrate:

$ dig +short www.sinfest.net ; dig +short sinfest.net; \
dig +short www.sinfest.net @8.8.8.8 ; dig +short sinfest.net @8.8.8.8
64.29.145.9
64.29.145.9
64.29.145.9

If you're interested in a complete, but simple RPZ zone file I can provide one. If you have more questions, feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer.

I don't really understand their build system so not sure how to fix this cleanly but I added:

#define NOCRYPT (1)
#define NOUNCRYPT (1)
at the top of ./third_party/zlib/src/contrib/minizip/zip.c and unzip.c

And that got past the zlib errors on yosemite and built some of the demos (I will post some screenshots on twitter @joeld42, but it's just boxes and stuff). However, there was a linker error later with some json parser (maybe it was in the tests? I can't even tell) that I didn't figure out yet.

I also had to install "ninja" because apparently it needs like six different build systems.

The "ios" targets build... but I don't know what to do with them. I ended up with a directory full of .app files. Maybe zip them and rename them ipa?

Anyways, it looks like there's some cool stuff in there but there's a ton of dependencies and it doesn't really feel "lightweight". I'll definitely keep an eye on this one but it really could use more documentation for people not familiar with google's ecosystem.
Which makes me wonder if you can apply this as an autodidact. If you know you have made subtle changes, do the results still hold. I'd guess the answer would be yes but it could be an interesting problem.

There also might be a delta (variation of the activity) that optimizes the learning progress. My guess for that would be...change too little and you're inefficient, change too much and you are inefficient, too.

I honestly wonder if there should be some sort of signature or approval process on the OS vendor's part before any cert can serve as a root.

I'm not sure what that would look like and I do realize there are some 'walled garden' implications here. But honestly, I don't get how or why a userland application has any right to touch the OS' trusted CA roots. Perhaps some model similar to driver/kext signing would make sense - self signed and/or untrusted could be loaded when the system is booted with some development mode flag, but on a general user system, the only path to get your cert trusted as a root COULD be via update/push from the OS vendor.

That's not the problem. The problem is if Netflix is paying Amazon, then their cost is infrastructure + profit, whereas Amazon only has infrastructure costs.

Fundamentally it means Amazon can be more competitive, and Netflix are hoping they can stay ahead on the user experience curve.

I really emphasize with what you're saying here.

As a kid, I remembering hearing - "drink water" all the time.

It never helped. I never once felt better drinking water than not. But no-one cared. "I'm already drinking water." "It doesn't help." It was the panacea to a sea of unrelated problems and no-one was interested in actually checking up on whether it worked.

Now, I'm at a different place in my life, and the water is immensely helpful.

Exercise really helps - on average, statistically, it's one of the most effective interventions, and if you're any sort of health care provider you immediately notice the difference in a whole group of patients after they exercise vs a day they don't. And a lot of times individuals cannot notice the difference from inside, even if their behavior is a lot more upbeat.

But for someone people who need something entirely different, it might not help for that particular issue.
Diary of a network outage
Ruby is slow, but enough for many things.
Rails is slow, dog slow. And no one in Rails team care much.

While it is slightly unfair, most within the Ruby on Rails Community do not care about speed at all.

PHP has Facebook, Java has Sun and other Enterprise, JS has Google V8, as well as Mozilla / Apple providing competition, Lua has Mike Pall. Basically all these Dynamic Langauges has had million of dollars / man hours working on it for a long time.

In Ruby? If it wasn't for ko1 YARV Ruby is still very slow here.

So why all of a sudden we have two solution here that offer a magnitude of speed increase? My guess is that it created an interest within the Academic, VM Research Community, if they have to prove their VM ( OMR / Graal ) to work, they will have to choose one of the hardest, yet to optimized language to work on. I guess that is why both effort happens to be on Ruby.
Science as Public Good and Commons as a Science
If we can figure out some way to capture and transmit what these (and possibly other bacterial species see), we could have trillions of little cameras everywhere, possibly changing everything from medicine (deliver medical payload based of off visual information or image tumor directly without surgery) to biology (pseudo xenobiology studying the underwater volcanic mats of bacteria and algae) to even intelligence gathering (need to spy? Grow some bacteria in an air vent or other convenient area).

I hope that someone is starting to try and capture images from those mini eyeballs, they then become our mini bio-cameras.
Hate to say it but I'd rather focus on user education than concentrate more centralized compliance control with Microsoft. I am old enough to remember how Microsoft wielded that type of control in the past. Malwarebytes alone could/should fix 90% of this problem.

Also, even if they get all those things right, don't underestimate the complexity of simply shipping goods to other continents. We're manufacturing, selling and shipping shoes from europe and while it's easy within the EU it's hell once you try to reach customers in other continents. Just handling returns (which are to be expected frequently with shoes and their sizing) simply renders the option too complicated and expensive for small companies.
That's a very interesting point. When I look at React and React native , I do feel that they could be stepping stones to something really interesting.

The Decco app that was posted on HN only reinforced this idea. I feel that one day we'll be flinging fully formed react compoenents as fast as we fling for loops while coding today. Some form of smart component search and automatic insertion could speed up programming by a huge amount.

Abstracting out the DOM rendering means we could have universal components.

But these aren't here yet. You don't have to use the latest framework in your project if you don't need. But that shouldn't stop the experimentation and the evolution.

So go forth and write ye Single page app frameworks and ye Coffee script to brainfuck transpilers.

Is there anything wrong with that?
I like people who claim to be better ... assuming they can support these claims.
She was positive and interested in you - why would that be a problem?
"feature that facilitates security."

That is debatable. The device/system then doing the MITM is a prime target for attacking/exfiltration of data since everything is de- and re-encrypted there. A huge single point of failure in my opinion.
At 12 I was a hacker.
At 22 I was very serious + responsible.
At 35 I've learnt when I should act like a 12 year old.

So hacking is reserved for research project and the odd on-off script which gets nowhere further than my PC ;)

I've had hackers in my team, they've always been strong technically (they take risks so learn fast) but they have always been a net negative in the long run if left uncontrolled. But put them into the right environment and they can be very effective (as they tend to be very creative).

The question is will an ex-Facebook hacker accept being kept at arms-length production and treated like a junior developer? It works for me because there aren't any AAA employers here in The Netherlands.
Didn't Steve Jobs say the same thing ? You cant connect the dots going forward. They only make sense when looking back.
I used the word explicit because I was thinking something along the lines of: the scope in lisp is explicitly defined with parentheses (). Where as something like a static variable (or pretty much any variable that's defined in Algol like languages) has implicit scoping, it's implied that it shares the same scope as the scope it's defined in (or some other implication like C#'s public). I'll have to find a better way to word it because you're right. Thank you for the discussion.

Rendering the initial list takes much, much longer with the change propagation implementation than with the virtual dom one. I'd say, without benchmarking it, I see about 2 seconds or more difference. Even if the virtual dom is slightly slower at reacting to change, the time to render the latter implementation is more than enough to make me not want to choose it.

If only Microsoft had run with the idea of package management and trusted repos that has existed in open source for decades without restrictions that inspire people NOT to use it. Example to release a debian repo to share your software with your users you have the option to handle hosting/payment if any yourself and keep 100% of the revenue not 70%.

Their position in the market is such that had they started pushing this around the time apt-get started to be a thing they would have had near 100% adoption and users would be used to installing everything that way and would be naturally suspicious of manual installation.

Bad actors could end up on a blacklist that users would opt to enable. You would even have multiple black list sources from people like antivirus vendors etc.
