My best version of this was supporting a customer who had decided that the data source files were corrupt, in a part of the application workflow that doesn't access the files (an automatic 'preanalysis').

- Okay, so what does the error say > "The data files are corrupt".

- No, that doesn't sound right, can you please read it out word by word? > "The. Data. Files. Are. Corrupt.".

- I haven't seen that error before, can you please read it out letter by letter so I can ask the programmers > "a-u-t-o-m-a-t-i-c a-n-a-l-y-s-i-s h-a-s n-o-t...".

- Right, go here and tick the box that says 'enable automatic analysis'. Then it will work.

Yes, specifically asking to read word-by-word didn't work, I had to get down to letter-by-letter.
There was a recent Bloomberg article that really resonated with me when it came to recruiting companies.

High Tech companies rarely recruited at my school (an HBCU) and when they did, they would send some a random manager to talk about diversity, not a recruiter.
FYI, there was an update on currently running MicroPython ESP8266 kickstarter about reverse engineering and open-source aspects of ESP8266 chip. Some people say it's good. I tried to post it on HN, but it didn't catch momentum: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11174534 . Maybe readers of this thread find it interesting though.
IMO this all boils down to realestate/rental costs. 1/2 the budget for services is realted to housing cost. Build the towers sky high until the market is saturated, stop the ridiculous NIMBYism, stop pandering to the crowd that profits from the problem--the housing owners.
We need something like Ethereum or Bitcoin but built on a common platform such as web assembly which is an AST supporting multiple programming languages, with semantic versioning and an npm-like registry. This way it can evolve easily.
The links to the implementation, written in Rust + C++ are now up.
When my father went to high school here in the late '40s, he and his peers would keep their long guns in their lockers for the same reason, same result with absolutely no control by the school authorities. The late Supreme Court justice Scalia, 3 years younger, related in the oral arguments of Heller how he'd carry his target rifle on the NYC subway to and from his school/JROTC? rifle range.

When I attended in the late '70s, the JROTC rifles were in a safe to which we did not have the combination (well, they were government property), now they use air rifles :-(.
Thanks for the response. Existing apps make you find services such as venue by yourself. Some of them allow you to send invites but most are not comprehensive. I think a platform where you can find and connect to services would take a lot of the stress out of event planning.
It would be probably be a free app if you're an individual creating only a few events a year. It could charge event planning companies, and it could charge service providers such as venues to be promoted on search results.
Data I am getting from the Google Places Javascript API, which I believe is free unless I charge people to use my service. Google API can be annoying at times, and I may check out Locu's API.
Thanks for the idea. It fills a niche but it might be a little too simple. Worth considering though

No sympathy here. One of the few things that really gets my blood boiling is people eating dog. I have more sympathy for whalers. Anyone supporting such a practice should not approach me. Someone hunting and stealing dogs to turn them into meat, that does not and should not end well.

Dogs and cats are unique amongst animals. These animals have guarded our doors since before we had doors to guard. Their language is universally understood. Play a bark to a person in china or france, everyone understands dog. It's in our genes. Mistreatment is bad, but eating is something worse. Those who turn on dogs turn their backs on humanity.
Are you aware of any documented incidents of this happening?
The per-message pricing is still way more expensive, but that's not nearly as bad as how they've dumped this on customers.

If a PaaS provider doesn't realize that people build tons of code, businesses, infrastructures, pricing models, etc. off of them than they'll never gain the trust of savvy purchasers. The way they've effectively end-of-lifed Mandrill w/ 2 months notice and zero response to complaints is a slap-in-the-face to a customer-base that has largely loved their product.

Short of a response that recognizes they went about this badly it would be hard to ever depend on a Mailkimp product again.
> For me, this boils down to whether or not people are allowed to have strong encryption.

Its easy to see why DOD originally classified it as a munition. Video games have become a powerful tool for storytelling, education, performance art, and immersive experiences for a long time but they started out as artillery simulators and a means to practice war games. That mentality pervades and we still see Jump, Shoot, and Run as the primary dynamic by which we function in these amazing experiences. You're fighting against human instinct and hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. Against Dunbar's number, the core mechanic of trust and social engagement for millenia. I hope you're right, but I don't think it will be the sea-change you're expecting. Look at the adoption of bitcoin and remember that law enforcement is a retro-grade function of society. Underfunded and always behind the zeitgeist.

We don't ask the secret service to build the president's merchandising website, and we shouldn't expect the FBI to be able to articulate or comprehend the, "triviality" of undermining strong encryption.
They've even been understood for years too...

“I am closing down Express 5.0”
I am really confused by this idea, because the author seems to assume that it is so normal to have goals of a sort for which this service or technique might be useful that it is not necessary to explain what those goals might be or why they might matter so much.

I can think of literally nothing in my life for which this strategy would be relevant: nothing significant enough to be classified as a primary goal in life, such that it would be worth making a special effort to schedule my time around it, which is still somehow trivial enough that routine daily action would provide meaningful progress toward achieving it. The things I imagine as goals for my life aren't generally things one can measure in the first place, much less count as having definitively achieved or not achieved.
Good article. Although the danger is that, if everyone is using this type of software, this creates a herd mentality whereby everyone is doing the same thing. The stock market only works correctly if there is diversity and independence of opinion... things that are slowly decreasing in this instant-access global wired world. To me, this means that there will always be a place for the out-of-the-box thinker.

> you'd be surprised how many people look decent on paper but somehow can't write a line of code without some serious hand-holding

I think a lot of this may have to do with nerves. Writing code on a whiteboard when given an arbitrary question is very different than writing code in a comfortable context and environment. I think it's safe to say that a decent percentage of people in our field let nerves affect their ability to write quality code at the same level they normally do.

That's only true when the server is under load. 99% of servers worldwide are idling = ARM wins by a lot already today. There is going to be a leap in the cheap ARM board bus to something that supports USB3, then Intel will be gone from the server market in under a year.

This is extremely misleading. The (beta) Venmo API is no longer accepting new user sign ups. It will continue to work for existing users.

This is because Pay with Venmo is already available through Braintree (who acquired Venmo):

As already mentioned, this is demonstrably false. I'm choosing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't understand how a great amount serious media is served nowadays, since the alternative means you are attempting to score internet points with a second-level contrarian post. But I have to wonder where you've been.

I have no idea what the answer would be, but my guess is it would hinge on 1) AMDs reaction, and the performance hit (if any) of switching to AMD GPUs on Linux and 2) the performance hit (if any) of switching the OS to *BSD

> Go has such great tooling and a nice ecosystem, but could use some language improvements, like coffeescript or the alt JVM languages.

I'd like to see a language that compiles to Go, but also to Javascript, so that code can run on both client and server without changes.

That language should not equal Go, because, honestly, some aspects of this language are quite strange: https://golang.org/doc/faq#nil_error
I can tell you from experience that making a robust Ionic 1 app with Cordova that is performant is difficult. Cordova is not good at all.

We did not have chump change for developers either - I've numerous contributions to Angular and Ionic, and one of my former co-workers when I was there is now on the Angular team.

React Native is a superior abstraction, since it allows you to hook directly into native components very easily (try writing custom Cordova plugins), and keeps high level logic in JS.
I don't want to be mean, but I guess this is - jobs that have certifications are not often engineering in the software world. Such as the oldtime way to get big bucks "certified netware engineer", oracle pooh-bah certified admin.

One day there will no doubt be real engineering accrediations, like peng for software, but we aren't there today.

> But to put this on petty criminals, small time crooks, etc. that's just horrible.

Petty criminals and small time crooks are often the ones that make life hardest for people, especially the poor who live in the neighborhoods where these guys operate.

When I lived in Wilmington, DE (a pretty run down post-industrial city), our favorite restaurant was run by an elderly Indian couple. But it was in a terrible neighborhood, and one day their house was broken into. These sweet, hard-working people were violated, and by who? Not some kingpin. By some "small time crook." Should he not be prosecuted to the full extent of the law?

You're correct, the browser extracts and reformats the content. Firefox only shows the Reader View icon for pages where it thinks it can do a good job of that.
When it launched, it was miles ahead of PayPal. You could sign up and be transferring money within 10 minutes, and to cash out, once you verified your account information, they actually delivered the money to your account quickly, often as soon as the next business day. PayPal, until recently, never delivered the money in a timely manner, not to mention all the freezes and holds that have them paying out a class action settlement.

As of now, I don't disagree. PayPal has successfully adopted most of the best parts of Venmo (though time to receive money remains the slowest of all the competitors) and Square Cash is miles ahead of both of them - the ability to send money to people who don't have an account, and allowing them to access that money without creating an account is simply fantastic. No more conversations with friends like "Look, I'm sorry I don't have cash right now. You can wait, or you can download Venmo and let me pay you now."

Sorry to further dogpile on your comment, but I just realised what it is that
bothers me with discussions of IQ and race: it's that IQ is a proxy. It's a
stand-in for something we can't directly observe and therefore cannot measure,
or even fully define.

Which means, it's _very_ difficult to see how "IQ" itself would be an inherited
trait, seeing as it's not a trait at all. It's not even a thing at all. All that
IQ is, entirely literally, is a score on some test that some people have taken.

I mean, I hope it's obvious how it's completely ridiculous to believe that you
can pass on your score at a test to your offspring, right?

Well sure, that makes it worse, but it isn't really a separate thing. What's even worse than the big firm and its suppliers failing, is all of those firms not failing.

When enterprise is not so centralized, little firms fail all the time, and are quickly replaced by other little firms. OTOH in the Japan/Korea situation (and with TPP etc., probably USA in the near future), ineffective organizations hide within bigco's indefinitely, consuming resources in inefficient, anticonsumer fashion.
Regardless of how cynical that sounds I actually think you're right here.

React Native is pretty awesome - especially if you've got a web version of your app. At work, we use React Native for our iOS application - and are able to share pretty much all the store & action creators logic for our web (and desktop) app. It's been pretty huge as all our iOS engineer (we only have one!) really has to do is do the view specific stuff for iOS, the rest being shared with the web/desktop version. Also, our engineers that work on the web application can contribute to the iOS app with ease too.

Our general product iteration strategy involves building it on the web version and then porting it to iOS fairly quickly. For a chat application, our stores handle a lot of data, so it's been awesome to have that code shared.

React Native's bridge is also alright. We bridge with Component Kit for the chat messages view & WebRTC for the voice side of things fairly easy from JS.

Also, being able to update the bundle w/o doing an App Store update is pretty big too.

Here's the app if anyone wants to try it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/discord-chat-for-gamers/id98...

There's no reliable examples. That's what I'm saying, people say "Systemic" when really it means nothing when you drill down to the meat of how things are. In fact when you look closer you find the more forces and initiatives towards inclusion within the system. For example for years we've had minority and female only STEM initiatives. Both on their own, and included within other organizations as part of greater educational pushes.

Interesting. I don't think it's a numbers station-style system. Generating videos and uploading them via relatively complex protocol (where you have the potential to fuck up and leak info about yourself) to a server you don't control seems like a very roundabout way of broadcasting information to someone. Once you bring computers and the internet into the mix there's a huge number of simpler and safer ways to broadcast encrypted information without requiring particular equipment or expertise of the receiver.
"Gödel incompleteness is even unpopular among logicians. They are ambivalent. On the one hand, Gödel is the most famous logician ever. But, on the other hand, the incompleteness theorem says that logic is a failure."

I suspect Gödel himself didn't like the incompleteness for similar being very much an idealist who even created (but didn't) publish a modal-logic proof of the existence of God.

The thing is that if one takes a formalist position, that mathematics is a game played by pencil and paper (or computers) then the completeness and incompleteness theorems mean that foundational questions are simply done. oppositely, the position that foundations-people now have to take is that even though you create a universe compatible with any true-but-unprovable position (like the continuum hypothesis or its negation), some of these true-but-unprovable hypotheses are more plausible, aesthetically appealing or something and these hypotheses should be the one considered "true" in some ideal reality (I'm trying to crudely paraphrase Raymund Smullyan here).
If it's using the same bcm2836 chip, then I think it'll have the same limitations. The markings on the chip in the pictures aren't quite legible enough to me, playing around in a photo editor, but it's marked the same way that the Pi2's chip is, from what I could see.

Shareholders don't care. Shareholders are not people. They are corporations and mutual/hedge funds. The closest thing to human would be the individual investor, but even they only ever act in their own financial interest.

Apple is working to protect its customer base and shareholders do very much care about customers. Should the iPhone be opened up to law enforcement, customers will walk. THAT gets the attention of shareholders more than any appeal to their non-existent humanity.
It's more nuanced than that: Many people have no intention of being offensive but don't want to be regulated either.

On the one hand, it's obnoxious to create an API and encourage developers to use it, then pull the plug. On the other hand, APIs that process payments are a way to steal money, and tougher standards are necessary. Venmo has had security problems and fraud problems. Putting a fourth party in the chain (Venmo itself is a third party; it's not a bank, it's an external ACH transaction generator) makes it tough to allocate blame when something goes wrong.
Yep. I have two services using the API, both only really used by my friends. One is a cost splitting web app and the other was to send money to your friends only through SMS.
