- Great way to build component based UIs

- Combined with immutable state manager like Redux, it can dramatically simplify front end development.

I used to hate working on website frontends. Tangled webs of event handlers and dom mutation. React got rid of the mess and I once again enjoy working on the front end.

This has been a free market dream of mine. There's no need for a state to enforce minor traffic violations (and who knows what else) when "the network" is willing to do the enforcement. However this poses a huge problem when the rules are dictated by a central coercive entity rather than by consensus.

Résumé/CV: http://www.dan.andersen.name/resume.pdf

Email: andersed@purdue.edu

I'm a second-year PhD student looking for a summer internship where I can put my experience in computer graphics research to good use. My main focus is on augmented and virtual reality, especially its applications in education and medicine. My current research involves using an augmented reality simulated transparent display to better connect surgeons in austere environments with remote experts during the course of a live surgery.

I don't particularly care about the host platform; I write software that runs on all 3 major platforms, and having it behave mostly-consistently across the platforms is more important than being consistent with the host platform.

I don't like it because it puts too much useful information on one domain. Will the researchers still be paying for the domain in 5-10 years?

The entire article was based on a premise that couldn't even be backed up with one good example. Granted, self-driving cars are in their infancy, but still.
Don't miss the followup: Newegg still lost.
Indirect control is the same as no control. If I try to project what others may think, I am attempting to trick myself into thinking I have control of the situation. I don't. My emotional response to "what others think" is something I can control. Therefore, I chose not to emotionally attach "what others think" to my thoughts to the best of my ability.

I can only control my thoughts and the actions borne from those thoughts.

Massachusetts General Hospital | Boston, MA | full-time | ONSITE

My team at MGH is looking to hire a web developer to help build the next-generation of telemedicine. Originally started 15 years ago to serve stroke patients, our
program uses video-conferencing, the website my team builds, and other technologies to treat patients remotely. The culture is like a startup inside the nation's top hospital.

We use .NET MVC 5 with C#. SQL and JS are obviously important as well. Specific experience with .NET is not required, so if you are interested and have web-development or OOP experience, get in touch.
I used to wrongly think you need a PhD to be able to win a Turing. Diffe proved me wrong. He serves as an inspiration to anyone who mentally feels inferior to PhDs when it comes to making significant contributions to the field of Computer Science

yup, I will tell you tho, it isn't really hard once you have a format... it's pretty easy to share the format between different services as it's just string formatting.

I currently have logs from the django app and nginx and was pretty easy to set up.

It might not be the best solution but I don't think it's stupid

Happy people have everything they want.

If you already have everything you want, you're definitely not spending.
Building useful parallel infrastructure is expensive though and would probably be to slow. If current Autobahn construction projects here in Germany are any indication, building a parallel long-distance network would take longer and cost more money than waiting for automation to be reliable enough to share the roads. Even if we assume that there is space for that, which in many important places there is not.

Maybe some changes to make roads more robot-friendly (e.g. by adding robot-only exits, navigation infrastructure, ...).

I think the first step in that direction we are going to see on public roads are autopilots for trucks. Follow a human-driven truck, or maybe drive simple long-distance highway routes automatically. At the end, have a human take over again and do the city stuff. Either have the human on board but resting (which means they could at least take over with a few minutes delay if necessary), or have driver hop-on/off parking places at highway interchanges.
Well you can use a tablet as a second monitor. There are apps out there advertised as "second screen" apps for both android and apple tablets.

As self-driving cars take off, they'll start to form a mesh network and communicate. This four way stop scenario is solved in an instant.

And when the grid is fully automated, they'll be a huge decrease in four way stops (and any slowdown/stop inefficiencies in general).
We love Postmark - they're a bit more expensive but the service is great and the product is rock solid.

It seems the trend has been towards later and later recognition, which makes sense given the age of the field and the award.

- Knuth got his for TAOCP in 1976, 8 years after first publication.

- Thompson and Ritchie got theirs for UNIX in 1983, 10 or so years after its introduction.

- Englebart got his for his HCI work in 1997, 30 or so years after the fundamental work was done (but just after its universal adoption)

- Alan Kay got his for OOP & Smalltalk in 2003, 20+ years after the first stable release.

- Cert & Kahn got theirs for TCP/IP in 2005, 20+ years on.

And so forth.
Breaking compatibility isn't going to force people on 5.2/5.3 to upgrade php, they'll just stop upgrading wordpress.
I think that's probable a good way to do it. Some things that gain great traction at one time may later turn out to have been just a sparkle, or a fad. Standing the test of time is a good litmus test for the importance of scientific achievements.

Thanks for the advice. I once read that if everybody thinks something is boring, but you find it fun, then it might be a lucrative niche. That's how I feel about documentation.
Don't forget people need ~250ms (1/4 second) to react to someone, self driving cars could easily operate at 1/10th that. So, a person needs 9 feet to stop at 10MPH, but a self driving car might only need 5 feet. If anything self driving cars will look like they are going to hit you far more than human drivers. http://www.random-science-tools.com/physics/stopping-distanc...

Also, people don't as a rule physically touch cars when jwalking. Thus, a self driving car rarely needs to stop even with significant number of people jwalking. At worst they slow down, but again less than you might think.
Thanks Tyler! It might be helpful to also add redux + async to it.
No. Under a sane system, these attempts at resubmitting an app that is clearly someone trying to get around being banned would be caught.
I'd also add https://raygun.io as great option here. Those services are more for the DIYer / startup market but if you need a professional error monitoring tool I recommend you check out Raygun.
NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

It's a confusing time of year. A Spring day is chased away by storms or a late Winter blast. Reese's Eggs are back on the shelves, but why do they bother taking them down? Daylight reemerges when you leave work for like... twenty minutes. There is only one thing certain in this time of chaos: NCC Group is constantly hiring security consultants from ALL backgrounds to join our team.

If you’re a tinkerer, you enjoy breaking more than building, or someone who wonders “why” and ends up down the rabbit hole 36 hours later with a disassembled air conditioning unit surrounding them... we’d love to hear from you! Our process welcomes those with years of experience, as well as those with little to no direct experience in what we do.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer.

All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

As someone who has recently developed an app with Google OAuth I'd like to second this. Google lets you register which servers the auth tokens can be used from, which means that even if the application database gets hacked your data is safe. Tokens are also rate limited at both the user and application level, which means that even if there is a zero-day attack targeting your web servers, you can set up monitoring software to automatically revoke your tokens so that no more than a tiny percentage of data is at risk of getting exposed.

Although it can be dangerous to implement your own OAuth as a provider due to the complexity of the protocol, if you're merely granting an app access to your Facebook or Google account then as a user the security story is quite good.

I've never been at freelancer or any equivalent site so I can't speak from personal experience. Aren't you expected to provide some kind of receipt on those sites for the money you're paid? In such a case you can't hide it from the local tax service. Unless you're providing fake receipts which sounds like an awful idea.

I don't think this proposal qualifies as "too big to manage." But I disagree with your examples.

Freeing the slaves was necessary and proper, but far from immune to the original argument. We screwed it up, big time (I don't mean to start a debate over this one, I think it's fairly uncontroversial that Reconstruction failed in some regards) -- in other words, we can simultaneously argue that sometimes massive policy proposals are correct but they almost always come up short of intention. "Ending slavery" couldn't be accomplished otherwise, but that doesn't meant that it was executed well.

Ending Prohibition was the opposite of a "massive policy," as are some other popular deregulations (airlines, electromagnetic spectrum, encryption to name a few). This is the federal government deciding to stop doing something. It's not the case that anyone is arguing "the federal gov't never makes a good decision."

Popular government-led programs are usually local or laissez-faire in nature. Public school systems, for instance. Or food stamps, which are relatively simple to execute. Or Social Security. The latter two have the feature that it's the individual's choice of how to spend the money.

So national income is a good example of "welfare that isn't centrally planned," and in that regard I believe it has a chance at success. The reason I think it's possible is because you wouldn't need a panel of bureaucrats deciding how to distribute all of the welfare -- you'd simply need to distribute the debit cards or whatever.

I wish there was a way to "pause" incoming requests in web servers. Most deployments (migrations + code) take less than a few seconds, and I'd be fine with some users having to wait 2 seconds for a request to finish over their request hitting a 500 (due to inconsistent code/database) or 503 (putting the site into maintenance mode).

Since EVs are very quiet, it could be a rolls machine, which is basically a treadmill for a car. They are used for running tests on vehicles and are outrageously loud. They can be used during prototyping. In a car factory it's at the very end of the assembly line and sometimes used for debugging vehicles that have come off the line with issues.

Ummm, thank you for stating the obvious. 1.6 x faster is interpreted by anybody who has ever in their lives taken any undergraduate course even remotely related to mathematics, let alone anybody who has ever coded even the most simplistic mathematical algorithm, as meaning 60% faster. The fact that you have to specify this is ridiculous and sadly, serves to confirm stereotypes about front end coders being clueless.

For avoidance of doubt: 1 * (ie "TIMES", as stated, not PLUS) 1.6 = 1.6 = 60% greater than 1. I hope this is not controversial.

I'm Full-Stack, specializing in full-stack JavaScript. I am strong in both vanilla JS and MVC frameworks, having built webapps with jQuery, Angular, Backbone, and React/Redux. I am equally comfortable in the backend, strong with Node/Express but have enough experience with Python and Ruby to pick up Django or Rails quickly.
Interested for this opportunity. Have experience in java and service oriented architecture.
