One more example, from the 70s: TARGET, a text-mode shootem-up on the SOL-20 had sound effects—just put your transistor radio (every kid had one) near the computer while playing. Took a bit of futzing with the tuner, but there used to be more time in the day.
No. You are vastly overestimating this "diversification" thing. We're not talking about a portfolio here, we're talking about someone's day job. Most people are not going to want to job hop that often unless they hit upon a string of really crappy companies.

And quite frankly, you're basically saying that the company should not have to compete for employees. Which is such an absolute shit of an opinion that I can't even begin to tell you why.

Canada Square is a long way away from the City of London (aka "Square Mile"). The City of London (that is, the small area to which the particular election protocol applies) has a tiny resident population; its resident:commuter ratio is not remotely comparable to that of London or SF.
> multiple feature branches can be grouped and deployed together

I would respectfully argue that this is not a desirable feature.

Although you might save some time by deploying multiple branches at once, you cloud the waters of what and how to roll back.

I think a better idea is to make deploys easy, quick, and revertible so that you can deploy early and deploy often, and in the event of a rollback, you can rollback just the broken feature.
Gotta love the BBC Headline currently on the home page: "Surveillance law: Revised bill adds privacy safeguards".
Money is fungible however. The government is still in the position where (theoretically) you're somewhat balancing money in and money out. So tie UBI to some specific revenue source or set of sources, and you still need to: 1.) Determine those sources and 2.) The tax rate on those sources. That's still all money that would have gone to different individuals or different uses. It's also subject to future political pressure to change the percentage. So it's not a case of picking source(s) and rate(s) to support an arbitrary payment outcome.

Sometimes it is close to the ideal. The Alaskan Permanent Fund probably comes closest in the US. But that's probably not enough for a UBI and it's unclear what the equivalent at the US level would be. In addition, it's likely that anything directly associated with resource extraction would decrease over time.
The equivalent of the you of 30 years ago would have asked the same questions about the then-new programmable timer-based devices.

The equivalent of you in 30 years might, on the other hand, consider secure network-controlled thermostats to be normal off-the-shelf technology.
As a long time git command line user, I've played with different GUI clients, but I don't see where it would speed me up (and in fact, they seem to just slow me down). What about it helps you in your day to day coding? Do you interact with git exclusively through a GUI, or do you use some mix of command line and GUI?

> you're saying the 90 day exercise window is a stronger anti-turnaround measure than the vesting cliff? How so?

Because practically nobody could utilize that exercise window pre-IPO so it functioned essentially as an "IPO/acquisition cliff" on top of the regular vesting schedule.

Do you see what I mean? If you leave before IPO/acquisition you lose your options. Not after 1 or 2 years, but however many years it takes to get to that point of maturity. You have to stick together as a team to make it there.

That's bad when companies get to, say, Pinterest or Uber levels and push off their IPO, and that's what needs fixing. But we should be extremely careful about overcorrecting in a manner that hurts vulnerable early stage startups, where the financial logic of leaving to diversify options is strong. Why triple down on one high-risk stock when you can move after a year and diversify your holdings? That kind of logic applied on a large scale could kill small startups which can't handle that kind of rotation. You have to have added incentive at the baby stage to stay and grow the company to maturity.

Going in france for a month in may, so mostly looking for contract work or remote work for now, unless you dont mind.

I also do a mean pulled pork, if thats relevant.
I sat through the YouTube presentation (which is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1GgnbN9oNw if you have four hours to spare). In general the discussions were quite well presented, apart from a couple of rabid questioners suggesting that public security trumped any one individuals' right to personal security.

I've written up a summary of the hearings at InfoQ here: http://www.infoq.com/news/2016/03/apple-fbi-congress

The general responses from Apple were that it wouldn't be possible to write this just for one phone; that once the FBiOS was available for one it would be available for any phone. Dr Landon also highlighted the fact that most people now use their phones as part of a two-factor authentication, and that the easiest way to break into a system (such as the IRS leak) is to compromise login credentials. The fear is, therefore, that once pandora's box is opened that the operating system would be installable on any device and thus potentially give access to any state actor to any account simply through device compromise.

The entire hearing was very well laid out, though in a few cases Apple's witnesses weren't quite as fluid as the FBI's.

The congress members have five days to ask additional questions, after which presumably a report will be made. More information is available at the House page here:

http://judiciary.house.gov/index.cfm/2016/3/the-encryption-t...
I believe the FBI is suggesting that Apple tie the update to the phone's IMEI, which I believe phone thieves routinely change by desoldering and replacing a chip.
How does one create a reusable component (something I could publish on npm for example) for React + Redux? The component would have to define its own data expectations, so the actions and reducers would have to be defined by the component. How would you do this, given your folder structure (which I think is very common in Redux/React apps)?
All iOS software updates, even the normal ones, bear a digital signature that incorporates the device's UDID. The bulk of the software update is the same for all devices, but Apple must generate a new signature for each device using Apple's private signing key.
A great list of resource - glad I ran into this post! I have rolled my own log scraping and exception monitoring and notification, but some of services do a lot more.

I have been using https://www.pingdom.com for uptime monitoring and some basic perf/latency tracking. It works well and doesn't cost a lot, plus it can hit my services from multiple regions.

I was surprised to not see PostGIS at least mentioned. I've been using PostGIS professionally for the last few years and only have good things to say, the toolchain is very mature.

We make pretty extensive use of R-Tree indexes in PostGIS, tables with 10,000,000+ rows and shapes that roughly match streets, parcels, blocks, zip codes. While I don't have 99th percentile data offhand average query time is <1ms. Perhaps there are slow responses at the 99th percentile however I would be very surprised by this.

Not sure how the title is misleading. It supports any git remote, but it has a few extra features (GH-style pull requests for example) that aren't really a part of Git. Those features are only possible on a GitHub or Bitbucket server, not just any git remote, but it currently only supports using them on the main public GitHub/Bitbucket servers.
I was surprised to see that Google Capital is an investor in SurveyMonkey - Google Consumer Surveys is a direct competitor:

March 2012 - Google launches GCS

January 2013 - Google invests in SurveyMonkey

Is it common for Google to invest in competitors? Why would they do this?
I'd like to see it honor the settings defined in ~/.ssh/config . Currently you can only choose one key in the settings which doesn't work so well if you have both github and bitbucket repos to manage let alone repos from 2 github and 1 bitbucket accounts.

I think a week is pretty sufficient. Many consider 48 hours sufficient.
My understanding is that phone thieves routinely change the IMEI by desoldering and replacing a chip. If this weren't the case, I think it would be fairly easy for detectives to call up the person currently in possession of any given stolen iPhone.
Ask HN: Looking for a decent realestate service to find a new office
Wondering what services any recommends to find a new office?
Generally you don't actually use Redux in your component. Instead, you'd expose the action creators required by your component. Then the user has to make sure that the new state created from your actions gets back to your component via props. This is a common behaviour I've observed, anyway.
I'm honestly kind of surprised SurveyMonkey had over 100 employees to begin with. I always thought of SurveyMonkey as a more fully featured version of something like http://strawpoll.me/ with more analytical features and such. I never would have expected them to be a company of nearly 1000 employees.
Wouldn't the dedicated requirement mean that regular cars cannot use the infrastructure?

No need to move cargo to another vehicle can be a plus, but moving a container with a crane is quite easy and cheap.
This is great! Thank you! (And your wife, too.)
I have worked most of the time in traditional (text based) languages, but I have also a non-trivial experience with a tool which is mostly visual (Software AG webMethods - here is an example of how it "looks": https://webmethodsexpert.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/try-fin...).

I suspect that unless you had most of your experience in a visual environment, you will never be able to work at the same level of efficiency that you have after a much shorter exposure to a text-based code.

This is also due, again in my own opinion, to the fact that while code has been text-based for 60+ years now, and millions of people have worked with that (and reinvested into the paradigm, and came up with new and better, clearer, more concise ways to do things IN TEXT) every attempt to work with a visual language never made much inroad outside of academia and/or games.
Most things at Uber were first built in the natural "why don't you just" way. Python/Flask monolith, Postgres, haproxy, etc. They are being replaced with fancier distributed systems (microservices, Schemaless, Ringpop, etc) by necessity.

5.5 reasons why Baremetrics is a cool reporting tool for SaaS Product Managers
You absolutely need a competent accountant for this, as they have to deal with your foreign income and figure out the US taxes. This involves a lot of complications and tricky stuff. First and foremost, when your earnings statements and tax documentation are all in Japanese or Russian or Italian or something, either you translate all of it yourself, or you find someone qualified to do your US taxes who can read it.

This cost me $300 last year when I spent the entire year in Italy and did not have much US income, plus a half a day to go see the accountant and make sure everything was squared away correctly.

Not worth giving up my citizenship for, but a big PITA nonetheless. The US is the only country in the world to do this BS.

There's no double-taxation, since you can 100% deduct any foreign taxes paid. I paid no U.S. tax in the years I lived in Denmark for this reason; I wasn't double-taxed. Since the U.S. has one of the lower federal tax rates of developed countries, and expats don't have to pay state or local taxes, really only people who live in tax havens end up having to pay U.S. taxes (by raw number, I would guess the largest number are expat oil-company employees living in one of the low-tax gulf states). So it mainly boils down to a tax headache, which is significant. I didn't pay any U.S. tax, but I had to file a whole bunch of documents.

God, that graph with the disappearing data is annoying.

"How about a movie, Bob?"
The author is arguing that the rate at which it was increasing (18x between 2008 and 2015) and the persistence of the trend (every year for the past three years) as well as that the most major contributing factor (tax law) is unlikely to change made this newsworthy, not the proportion of the population.

Edit: And I don't find it to be a moving counter argument. Additionally, I'm not sure its a good apples-to-apples comparison as the phenomenon seems to be prevalent among US ex-patriots, rather than the entire population.

Edit2: It turns out that it's hard to know how many americans live overseas[0], but it seems like 6.8 million might be a good guess. 4.2k / 6.8m is still only about .0006% though.

It's bioinformatics. Pretty typical, frankly with only requiring a BS it seems like a good deal (though not a ton of people have a BS in bioinfo).

I have similar degree and looking at a lot of jobs in Bay Area, those mostly require MS/PhD and are paying between 70-100k. It seems a lot of these positions want a hardcore programmer who also has a really great scientific background, but pay is lower than a great programmer with no scientific background would get in any other industry.
It is a bit of a non-question but it illustrates a point.

So let's say that person acquires all of the property through voluntary exchange. Ok. Now, what about the next generation who now live under that person's (or their descendant's) control of that property? They can demand anything they like (in this case their time and service) in exchange for the non-property owner's survival. Are those voluntary transactions?

While more than one person owns different parts of everything, this is essentially the situation a lot of people find themselves in...they must trade their time and service in exchange for their survival. That seems less than voluntary to me and a violation of liberty.

Granted, as you pointed out, absolute freedom cannot exist...there is a trade-off when freedoms of different entities collide. This is as true in the realm of private property as anywhere else, perhaps more so since certain people start off with so much more control, therefore choices and freedom, when it comes to property, from birth. All men are certainly not created equal when it comes to those rights.

So, the question is what has to give in the realm of private property rights in order to achieve maximum liberty (or at least approach that ideal)? Treating private property rights as sacrosanct leads to an obstruction of liberty as surely as treating any other exercise of control (IOW, freedom) would.
A slack community around conversational computing, commerce, and content
It's electronic, and you can use programs, but they tend not to be really targeted at this fairly small segment. So they're tedious to use and prone to letting you make mistakes. I personally used a CPA when I was an expat, partly because I know one who is familiar with this kind of paperwork (his own daughter is an expat, and he does her taxes, so he has some personal interest in it). He charged me about $200/yr. Considering I'd pay like $80 for the super-deluxe version of TurboTax, plus probably some hours to figure out how to do everything correctly, I considered the $200 well worth it.

Although annoying, it's also way down the list of annoyances and expenses involved in being an expat. I don't think "regular" expats like me are renouncing their citizenship over the hassle/expense of paying a CPA $200, especially because renouncing your citizenship is also a considerable hassle (and reduces your future employment options). I'm almost certain this is mainly much wealthier people.

Qt is great but it's a stretch to say it looks and feels completely native. Open Qt Creator on Windows and tell me it looks or feels anything like a native Windows application.

Qt looks pretty close if you stick to just the essential controls/widgets (text, buttons, text fields). Once you start using other stuff you can definitely tell it isn't a native application. That's not to say Qt isn't good. It's a great toolkit and far, far more complete and featureful than wxWidgets but that's comes as a trade off. The native-backed nature of wxWidgets means you are kind of working with the lowest common denominator a lot of the time which means you don't often get more sophisticated control/widget options. You also have to deal with more bugs between the platforms whereas you rarely have to with Qt.

You have to decide if you want a big, powerful toolkit with commercial backing (and a pretty hefty licensing fee for commercial users) that doesn't quite feel native or a natively-backed toolkit that is less featureful, more buggy, and free.
Very cool, thanks for porting this.
