I disagree about the "blue collar labor" aspect as well. Aren't many lumberjacks in my neck of the woods these days, but woodworkers aplenty.

Let's take another example. Perhaps McDonald's goes 100% automated, and a sub shop next door adopts automations for things like cleaning, but still cooks the food by hand. Sure, it doesn't take too much to make a sandwich, but it's the personal aspect that makes it more appealing. And maybe you go there because you like chatting with the people who work there. Couldn't get the same from a machine.

I think before we get ahead of ourselves on AI we should re-read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and remember that the organic will always value the organic more than the inorganic.
We actually have programmers who don't want to get involved with git...

Unless they're melting their own aluminum. =)

Note the article doesn't really mention electric-type humming.

One neighbor described the sounds he hears at night as "sheets of metal slamming, clanking, almost a grinding sound."

This idea they're running large amounts of electricity to charge EVs seems far-fetched. And if a charger is making that much noise to wake the neighbors then, well, they have larger technology issues to handle.

Also: when you're a large industrial electricity consumer and you pull megawatts for your work, the utility usually wants you to run at night so you don't brown out the grid for everyone else during the day. Just another data point.
Zynga Appoints New CEO
We're doing the same. I re-wrote our code over the weekend from sending solely through Mandrill, to splitting our traffic 50/50 between SendGrid and SparkPost. I'm going to implement a similar strategy for some other external services we rely on and I've open sourced the Go code [1].

This also has the benefit that if one service goes down, we can automatically fallback to the other with (hopefully) no downtime. Most email providers have a limit to what you can send until you're established with them, so using another provider as a standard backup isn't feasible, as suddenly sending 1,000's of emails a day will see the account get suspended pretty quickly.

Plus, if one of them goes out of business or changes their terms with little notice, like Mandrill, we should have a bit more time to work around it as at least one service will work.

Nobel Prizes, at least in the science fields, follow the same pattern. I suspect that at least in part the Nobel committee wants to avoid awarding for something unproven such as cold fusion.

The committees in the humanities seem much less concerned about this, and are able to award much sooner.

Ellis was working at GCHQ and couldn't openly talk about his work.
As someone commented, it could be the case that Facebook/WhatsApp does not even have the data any more. Also, WhatsApp operates as a separate business from Facebook.
In my opinion this looks a lot more like a display of power by the government, than an actual effort in the investigation.

I don't see either how Facebook would be "protecting themselves". They have little to gain and much to lose by not cooperating with the government. It's not about publicity because it wouldn't have made the news at all if they complied.

Now, even mentioning the following may be going into conspiracy theory territory, but telephone companies were trying to get WhatsApp banned not long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if this event would further their goals.

Show HN: Visual Code Execution Tool (watch code execute)
I can't speak to them now, but it happened a number of times while I was at GitHub. We'd have a number of things staff-shipped for weeks or months (occasionally a year!) and it was just... there... and nothing happened much to it.

As you might expect, it wasn't really the fault of feature flags but rather indicative of a process problem. We'd either have to prod the team or person in charge of it, verify that work was actively pushing things forward to ship, and so on.

At various times we'd have, for lack of a better phrase, the "No (wo)man", who would come in and say "no" to a lot of things. One of the best ways to achieve this is to see that nothing has happened on a feature flag for awhile and then send a pull request to remove the feature flag (and the feature entirely). This got people out of the woodwork who said waiiittttt a minute let me just finish that up, or if no one vehemently disagreed with the pull then you could actually just remove it entirely. But it did take some explicit reflection on whether the flags were defensible to remain flags.
Quite obvious.
The sound and the apple car is just them trying to get a DeLorean to travel back in time. That way they can get Steve Jobs back.
Wifi being so high bandwidth it'd be very difficult. Bluetooth Low Energy supports very small bandwidths and would be significantly easier to generate in the end.

You generally don't get good enough control over the motors or voice coil in a hard drive to be able to make vibrations like that. I'd probably look at controlling the fans instead to get a similar effect and use the microphone to listen for the noise from them.
Every month when the "Who is hiring" thread is posted I search for "WI" hoping to see more Wisconsin based companies posting here. Hope you can find someone soon!
Further proof we the people are not in control of anything.
I've actually thought about this a lot (for some reason).

Spaces are fixed. Tabs are adjustable via most user interfaces.

So, in theory, you'd think tabs are superior because everyone can have their own amount of spacing and that's that.

Therefore tabs > spaces

(I should probably leave now)
Hah, we (hopefully!) get an update window every 18 months! And a staging a new production like test environment starts with another $100K invoice..

Such fun!
I made this mostly as a training tool. I was trying to code syntax less "scary".

The language is just a C-like syntax I made up, this was more of a proof of concept. Most of the the statement/operators are in the demo. I would like to make a version for each of the major JIT languages.

I'm currently working on function implementation and scoping. Error handling still needs some work. (also active syntax highlighter).

Everything here (except jQuery obviously) was made by me. Please let me know what you think or have questions. Is this worth pursuing?

That works out to $3T in checks to every US citizen every year. That's about equal to federal revenue. Sure, a lot of people would just get their own money back (a waste of redistribution efforts), but half of recipients don't pay taxes so that's really $1.5T ... still half of federal revenue, when the gov't is spending nearly twice revenue.

Yes, it really just comes down to arguing about what the check size should be ... leaving a whole lotta people with a whole lotta motive to argue it should be a whole lot bigger than austerity-sized and covering little more than staple foods etc.

Reducing Memory Access Times with Caches
Agreed, I'm surprised the 4x price increase is not mentioned more often. Personally I can understand moving away from a free offering, especially if they're having trouble with spammers, but to quadruple pricing out of the blue? For sites, like mine, built around a huge amount of transactional email (scheduling group gaming sessions and notifying your group by email), a 4x increase is essentially no different than just shutting down. They have their reasons, and now I have mine, to never use a mailchimp product again.

"Why should I use React?"

If this article does not convince you, React is not for you and that's OK.
> What's nice about OAuth is that it allows the end user to control access to information and revoke access as needed.

One thing to know is that this is entirely up to the implementer. As others have noted, some sites do this, some don't. The concept of an access token having some "scope" of authorization is not limited to OAuth – there's no reason this can't be done with any other sort of authorization protocol. Bank security procedures are bad and they should feel bad but I'm not sure OAuth is the right solution.
No, not specifically at a federal level. Some states have business excise taxes but they are less than a percent for most businesses. I'm talking a tax on services like when you go buy food and the receipt has the tax added.

The income tax on those professionals is the closest thing we have now, but blue collar workers pay that too and the products they make have a sales tax at the other end on top of their income tax.
I'm interested that you're having a problem with this, but you don't give much detail.

Why do you have so many feature flags at a single time? Do you have a team of 20-40 people or more? Are your features taking months to create? Are you trying to create a feature flag for every new line of code before deploying it?

A lot of times code can be deployed without using a feature flag, because it's small enough, maybe you are overlooking those cases?

see, if you guys were just honest, and just openly stated "we're trying to replace GNU with freedesktop.org", it'd be one thing. But you're not. You're astroturfing, and artificially generating "demand" for systemd in Gentoo.

Your lifestyle choice of systemd is accepted by the rest of us. But don't pretend you'll ever be in the majority.
I'm having a very hard time conceiving of what definition of "manage" a user could come up with that would have made them realize the possible consequences of granting this permission, given that the text also includes the phrase "and permanently delete your mail in Gmail." If the user shouldn't trust the requester with delete permission, what possible definition of "manage" could somehow have convinced them this was an unsafe operation?

At some point, you have to either trust users to bother to read what you put in front of them and think about the ramificaitons, or you have to assume they don't and categorically disallow that functionality. And I, for one, am not in favor of categorically denying API access to Gmail.

Open Whisper Systems • San Francisco • Full Time • ONSITE

Open Whisper Systems is making private communication simple. Our technology is used by hundreds of millions of people, and everything we produce is open source.
What it's like to work with us: https://whispersystems.org/workworkwork/

iOS Developer -- Someone intimately familiar with iOS development and internals, who has an appreciation for the craft of software development and experience with making decisions that result in great products. No experience with cryptography necessary, just solid experience developing for iOS and an eye for good design.

Android Developer -- Is the pleasure center of your brain directly wired to the experience of a slick UX or a nice animation? Do you hunt down memory leaks and StrictMode violations for fun? We're looking for someone with deep knowledge of the Android framework and an equally strong intuition for pairing beautiful app experiences with beautiful code. You'll be the architect of major features, making your code available to the world. You don't need to be a security expert; it's knowing how to make complicated systems simple to use that's at the heart of what we do.

Mobile UI / Product Designer -- We’re seeking an original thinker with strong visual design skills ready to help make private communication simple. You'll take on developing the look and feel of Signal on iOS, Android, and the desktop. You’ll be responsible for updating the visual design for the app and helping shape consistent guidelines to communicate a compelling user story across our products and other touchpoints. You’ll work closely with a team of engineers with a passion for making usable software. No experience with cryptography necessary, just intuition for what makes a great product and solid experience designing products that are a joy to use.

See more at https://whispersystems.org/workworkwork/, or send us a note at workwithus@whispersystems.org
Of course! I simply type one in with a half A-press.
There's a touch more than views to consider, e.g. do you have to build or want a native mobile app? Angular 2.0 will be under heavy development whereas I think React has matured to the point where a lot of effort is going into ease of use and performance [1]. I also found the React tool chain (using webpack/babel5) very slightly more sane than grunt/gulp once my project grew beyond "Hello TODO". But the JS tooling is absolutely crazy no matter what platform is decided.

I'm using redux for API calls - I like the "single store" approach despite drawbacks vs. flux (or multiple stores).

Uber is hiring! And in particular, my team, Driver Experience, at Uber is hiring.

Our team is responsible for the core experience for drivers on the Uber platform and impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who use our product daily to make a living.

Being on Driver Experience means that you will be in a product oriented role that requires user empathy and a passion for crafting great experiences. Additionally, our team is at the center of gravity for many of Uber's core business goals, and the software we build is consistently picked up by other teams to advance initiatives like uberPOOL, uberEATS, uberRUSH, and growth in major markets like India and China.

We are looking to hire across the stack: mobile (Android and iOS), front-end, back-end and design.

Please email me at gluck@uber.com along with what part of the stack you are interested in, and I am happy to put in a referral for you.
We have something similar. But I don't like branches, I prefer single trunk development(generally agree with Martin fowler) + feature switches to isolate wip features. We store all binaries built. so we just roll back to the previous binary, which is a single button click for us.

in other words: brain is just like your muscles. If you train your arms you will have strong arms, if you train your legs, you will have strong legs.

I can't agree with this author - at least their argument that "the bigger problem here lies with how Google makes this possible: 1) At all..."

If this wasn't possible at all, this product couldn't exist in it's current form. And clearly, at some point, the author saw value in this product enough to give it a shot.

Do I agree Google should make it extra clear when you are signing over permission for unusually liberal access to your data? Absolutely.
The SCO saga is over. The current owners of SCO have agreed to the final judgment against them. IBM can still move forward, but SCO has been denied any more actions.

Pamela Jones the editor of Groklaw needs to be commended for her work in tracking this across the years. I know that the Groklaw site has been frozen since 2013, but if you know her, pass my thanks on to her for being the voice of the Open Software Community against SCO.

Everyone should hoist a toast to the IBM legal nazguls and others (yes you too Autozone) that helped crush SCO.
