The "Brogrammer" is nothing more than the "Other" that certain people in SF likes to project all their unhappiness into, because they are unable to think very critically about social issues in the city. Lazy thinking. I've met maybe 2, my entire 6 years living in SF as a programmer. CEOs, finance, sales, marketing is where the actual SF bros are. When someone complains about the "brogrammer epidemic" it's not unreasonable to claim they may have some issues of their own they are dealing with.
Looks really great!

Do you guys plan to open up the plugin capabilities? We're building a marketing automation platform that we're hoping to connect to support software as well

I have 4 years experience building iOS apps and 7 years experience overall. I can build iOS apps in Swift or ObjC, and I have backend experience working with python + django and coffeescript(node.js) + express. I have extensive experience working with SQL (mysql and postgres) and nosql databases (mongodb, couchdb, redis). I can also do configuration work on AWS or Google cloud.

The main iOS app I have worked on the past 4 years is Fleck (getfleck.com). It has been featured by Apple as “Best New App” and one of the “Best Apps of May 2015” in 137 countries.
I don't know that much about encryption at all. But I was wondering if the fact that the private key for a certain web server could be uncovered using this attack implies that all the encrypted data that could have been gathered by, say, NSA's PRISM, while the site was using that certificate is now available to them in 'plain text'?
Nation-states are too large to effectively test things like basic income.

Those pushing basic income and expecting it to fix many problems aren't paying attention to the fact that that's how every policy got started, as a cure-all massive policy proposal. Over the years, like object-oriented programming, we realize that in practice it isn't as ideal as we thought, and indeed we've now abstracted and complicated our systems even more.

We need a more scientific, incremental form of governance and policy-making, one that is evolutionary and takes natural organic approaches. Basic income is the exact opposite of that - a massive (the most massive) policy ever constructed which presupposes way too much.

If you want to and can test it at the state level great. States should be the "laboratories of democracy". But we need some realism about it, because far too many discussions about it are not.
We should pick an easier problem to solve for now. Let's have a few dedicated roads where we assist the technology either electronically or physically. We could automate major transport truck freight routes, for example.

This system would pay for itself and provide immediate benefits. Convoys of trucks traveling at 75 mph, drafting to save fuel.
Fascinating!!!

I think the whole point of the article is that the strengths and weaknesses of human and AI drivers are different, and that the differences are exploitable by adversaries, and may in fact be so easily exploitable that "adversaries" could include bored teenagers.
One of the most frustrating things is that many banks and other financial services seem to have the most antiquated security practices (nothing above twenty characters and no special charcters, for instance). It should be the other way around and yet here we are.

That said, I've mostly seen these used as an in-addition question when you want to do something like reset your password. Who's out there using these security questions as the primary mode of authentication?

I am a self taught developer in my first real job doing it. There seems to be two types of programming: magic algorithm programming, and API programming.

Most job prep seems to focus on algorithms. The algorithms are easy to test, because there are clean metrics (does it work or not, efficiency, etc). Also they make people feel clever. Finding the most efficient way to transverse a bidirectional, weighted graph seems more important than finding the right function. This is amplified when implemention in some esoteric language like lisp or Haskell (sorry fanboys, its esoteric when its less than 1% on TIOBE). But most programs/apps/services may only implement one of these at their core. If you are building a database or search engine, you will run into these more often, but its limited for most people. CS seems to focus much more on this side of programming.

The second form of programming is API programming, and I use this every day. This includes both finding the right function to use (or close enough) or creating API functions with sane parameters and results. This is much less glamorous, and is theoretically covered by "read the manual." But it is much more nuanced than that. Parameters may not be named the same thing or have the same form between APIs. Handling sync for async function calls are important. Hell, even defining the problem before finding a function for it can be difficult. APIs are the meat of programming. Designing and using them is definitely a required skill.

Being self taught, I learned much more about APIs than algorithms. I am not bad at Math, got a minor in it, but some of the algorithms blow my mind. But I am glad I learned APIs, as I use them every day. If I need to deep copy a map, I use a function.
I think the trollable driver is significantly more difficult/dangerous. Humans have moods and anger issues and vengeful reactions to things.

As has been said repeatedly, accidents like running into a bus are innocent and could've happened to anyone. While the car was technically at fault, this likely wouldn't have happened had the bus driver been driving more defensively or even if the bus driver had been an AI too... lol
Yeah, I thought I was clever doing that until the day came to reset my login with my bank. They didn't ask a single one of those questions, and instead asked questions that anyone with my credit report could have answered. </facepalm>

I'm confused about hgfgdf and lkjkui anyone have an explanation for those?
"Fun" facts:

- The levels in the game are generated automatically and an algorithm judges their difficulty with a numerical score. The difficulty ranges from IQ 5 (a light feather-massage for your brain) to IQ 500 (an intense deep-tissue work-out that will have you sweating over each level for over an hour with pen and paper).

- It's one of the few TRUE logic puzzles out there. There is no element of chance and even the hardest levels can be solved without any "luck" by pure, diligent reasoning.

- The game app can solve every level from every starting position within a couple of milliseconds, so it can provide you with hints of which chip to pick up next or how many moves you need to undo, no matter where in the game you are.

- The game is entirely written in Java, including the web and iOS versions (RoboVM and GWT for the win!).

- Its graphics are based on a custom font where each glyph corresponds to an element in the game. This allows us to create a fully responsive design to automatically support any screen size imaginable.

- The team behind the game consists of me, Markus, a stay-at-home dad of two small kids (3.5 and 1.5 years old) in Southern California, as the programmer and author, and my friend Martin from high school in Germany, who did the graphics and audio design in the evenings after his regular day job.

We'd love to hear your feedback!
There is a huge financial incentive in the form of diversification. You'll own stock in 3 potential unicorns instead of 1, tripling your chances of getting rich.

Because it's early stage, even just one year's vesting is enough to get you rich if the company makes it. So do you stay and triple down on one stock or spread it out? Especially when equity is such a large component of your compensation at that stage of company? Investment diversification is a rational economic decision that a lot of smart people will make.

The current system forces teams to stick together until IPO/acquisition, maximizing the chances of the options ever being worth something. It should be made more explicit, but it's not necessarily a bad thing (for employee options holders who want them to be worth something).

Sounds like a great idea, but unfortunately technology moves 100x the speed of law, so by the time any laws are passed they won't matter.

In other words, if you care, make a technological solution, not a legal one, because the right laws will be too little too late.

> If Congress debates whether they should ban the chemical and decides not to pass anything, does the EPA still have that right? If yes, what's the difference?

It's a separation of powers thing. The legislative branch has the power to empower a portion of the executive branch (the EPA) to do things like ban chemicals.

What can't happen is the legislative branch empowering another branch to empower other branches. Congress can't pass a law that empowers the judiciary to empower the executive branch. The executive branch has to go to the legislative branch directly. The FBI can't do an end-run around congress declining to extend its powers by going to the judiciary and "finding" those same powers in the AWA.

The argument here is that the FBI's reading of the AWA would mean that the AWA does exactly that, and is therefore unconstitutional.

So, consistent with the idea that a law should always be interpreted in a way that keeps it constitutional and compatible with other laws if at all possible, the FBI's proposed interpretation of the law must be viewed as incorrect.

Yeah, different translations. The Danish is "angest" or "angst."

As a native Swedish speaker, I find the common identification of "anxiety" and "ångest" a little strange, because of the strong existential connotations of the latter word...

But it's interesting how McLuhan insinuates a connection between angst in the existential sense and this spatial displacement of the nervous system.

By the way, the quote is from his essay "The Agenbite of Outwit".

The sensor logs from the trolled AI system can show likely troll/malicious intent from the human. In case there's a dispute over who's at fault (& responsible for costs).
That's certainly true and I hope I didn't give the impression that I thought this was a binary situation. It's just that code which runs in a JITed environment, particularly one like the browser JavaScript runtimes which aren't even versioned, has an even wider exposure to skew. Everything running on a multiprocess/user operating system is exposed to resource contention but e.g. your JavaScript code also has to worry about things like Chrome disabling optimizations anywhere you use try/catch.
Yes, my understanding is the problem is essentially undefined behavior as exceptions can be caught at any point in the call stack which makes it basically impossible to optimize.

What I really don't like about Sanders is that his main issue is inequality, but global inequality is so much worse and so much more serious than just American inequality. He would strip billions of unskilled workers' ability to have clean water, feed themselves, and send their kids to school, so that American unskilled workers can have large house with a two car garage, 4 weeks vacation every year, and retire at 60.

I have good memories from an UML design tool that generated Java stub code and kept in sync with code changes.

3D CAD is really great and works well.

WYSIWYG editors often work for 95% of the use cases.

For several domain specific niches there are already visual designing tools that work great. Having a text representation in the background is often a plus, so that some edge cases can be solved.

But I saw a lot of cumbersome tools too.

It depends on how Moog-like you want to get, I guess.

Emulating analog circuitry may not be required to get a passable model of the characteristics of an analog synthesizer. While your model may never get to sound exactly like a Minimoog, the filter for example can be modeled decently with a simple IIR design and even more accurately with a more involved models (the Moog model from cSound springs to mind: http://www.csounds.com/udo/displayOpcode.php?opcode_id=32). This is the topic of a lot of research, both independent and published.

I come back to my debate point. I think tech is in a state now where we definitely have personal policy positions but as engineers, we are reluctant to frame what we do that way. This is in contrast to politics where most issues are acceptably on a spectrum, because that is more of a "soft" field. I suspect "RSA is obsolete" is one of those things where you've carved out a position on one end, much like Schneier carved out his position on one end of curves as discussed upthread. I'm not calling you wrong, mind, as that comparison might imply: just a surprising opinion and you've certainly earned it, and I like hearing about it, and I think of you as one colorful end of a spectrum on this and a few other points. And throughout my life the extreme opinions have often panned out (i.e. Snowden), so I don't dismiss them much any more.
