Yes,you are correct: Qt uses themes and styles to configure its internally rendered widgets so they appear native.

http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/style-reference.html

In the case of windows, you can either use the char * methods, or you have an owner-controlled widget which is a rendering area. That's what Qt does. Combined with Qt's windows style, you get somethign that looks native by default, but is customizable.

This seems to me to be a far more productive approach that trying to come up with an API that supports only the common subset of features shared between Apple's UI toolkit, Windows UI toolkit, and Linux. Note that qt also supports embedded devices with raw frame buffers; you can make a UI that looks nearly pixel identical to Windows on that platform.

In Praise of Asymmetry: “The Face of the Buddha” By William Epson
The truth is somewhere in between - it's a good principle to teach your kids that they shouldn't only care about what people think of them, as you say. At the same tiem, if you had absolutely no chance of influencing other people with what you wear, there'd be no dressing to impress, dressing down, costume parties, etc.

The real kicker: will Mailchimp drop support completely later on... next month? I've no confidence in them anymore. We're moving asap.
i'm involved in this Android ban game myself, i don't think this guy is pulling connections with old Google colleagues. i noticed myself Google getting a bit slower banning accounts of previous indiscretions. they'll have another wave soon and knock out loads of apps and accounts.

i'm also skeptical that OP in that reddit thread is really a soundcloud musician. more likely he's a jealous Android dev and snitching on his competition!
Oh wow!! This is so cool! Where was this tool when I was in high school ;)
For the people debating the "If it's bulk email, why not just use Mailchimp?" question, consider the Trello use case: Someone updates a ticket and there are 4 people subscribed for notifications. In that case, it sends the same email to 4 people.

According to the AUP, it's against the rules to send "emails directed to a number of individuals with the same content"

Are we really going to say that someone like Trello should be using Mailchimp for that?
That's not the only part of the C64 you could make music out of.

My co-worker told me of a program he downloaded from a BBS back in the day called "Drive Music" that turned his C64's floppy drive heads into a musical instrument.
Remember kids, stay away from the refugee camps created inside your country.
I'd say it was very good compared to just about any country that is not in North Europe. And I really don't have an issue with busses anymore in London. TFL have a fantastic API which tells you when the bus you want is arriving at a stop amoungst many other things.

Everybody knows that history runs in cycles, just like fashion.

The people before us have fought (and died) for freedom. We are the ones giving it up. And some day after we're gone, some people will fight for it again.

And the whole thing starts over once more.
Disappointing to see this die. I would really like there to be some open, public API with a knowledge engine backend that could be part of an open source alternative to Siri, Cortana, Echo, etc.
Alloy | New York, NY | Full-Time | On-site

Alloy is an API to collect and manage customer data from many different sources. We help companies in financial services or other regulated industries safely onboard more “good" customers without introducing any more fraud into their systems. We connect many data sources used for identity verification into a rules engine, allowing a "waterfall" of information through a series of checks across different service providers. We're currently hiring for two positions:

1. Front End Developer

- Own our business-facing application. This is where our customers can see all their data, can build workflows for our APIs, and manage identity data over time. This is the only piece of our product that you can "see", so it's important we make it something our customers will love.

- Write clean, performant code. We value the end result, but we value code quality as well. Our dashboards are currently written in Python/Django and React, but we're open to whatever gets the job done.

- Own the User Experience. Our ideal candidate can write good HTML/CSS/Javascript to build features, but also knows how to build great user experiences from a thoughtful and empathetic place. We'll help you learn about our users and you'll bring real world UX/UI experience.

- Test your code! As a SaaS Company in a competitive market, its important for us to know our product is running correctly end-to-end.

https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Front-End-Developer-Alloy-NYC-...

2. Software Developer

- Create structure where there is none - you will design features for an API that dynamically pulls from multiple data sources and displays the results in a consistent and structured manner.

- Write clean, performant code. We value the end result, but we value code quality as well. Our API is written using Node.js, and we are always looking at new technologies and libraries to improve the performance of our stack.

- Do simple server administration tasks and application monitoring. Knowing how to develop software is important but so is knowing how to deploy that software it to a production server.

- Test your code! As a SaaS Company in a competitive market, its important for us to know our product is running correctly end-to-end.

> Also this guy's post is I am richer than Yelp's CEO and quite self righteous.

I didn't read it that way; I read it as "you can pay people well and be richer than Yelp's CEO and here's proof."

The purpose of that ethos is to negate the argument that you have to pay people shit to have a good balance sheet. He's using his numbers to argue that paying people well makes you more profitable because you can have the best, most engaged people -- and better retain those people, which is important since you've invested a lot to teach them your domain knowledge.

Seems unlikely that anyone experienced/competent enough to do any technical heavy lifting would go for this anyways... There's quite a few internships out there that pay at a rate significantly higher than the median household income of the United States.
According to caniuse, 12% of web users in the US are on IE 11, which doesn't support for-of.
Corporations are essentially private tyrannies with a profit motive. They do not have any democratic structure nor are they accountable to the public. The government is at least accountable to the public to some degree.

This is right. As a game programmer, I would be far better off in Edinburgh money wise.

Climate wise, not so sure.
There was (and is) a tremendous involvement of central planning in the housing market, so much that calculating its influence the bubble is impossible. Using it as evidence that we need more central planning is essentially using No True Scotsman - "no, I mean the good kind of central planning".

Many of the founders were also in the fifth congress, and a founder signed them into law.

My argument is that the premise that the law can't be interpreted according to the governments wishes because the noble founders would have never written a law violating constitutional principles is clearly false, because they did so on more than one occasion.

> This seems to me to be a far more productive approach that trying to come up with an API that supports only the common subset of features shared between Apple's UI toolkit, Windows UI toolkit, and Linux.

But an API with the common subset of features is the whole philosophical point of wx! If you're going to criticise them for that you might as well criticise screwdrivers for turning screws. That's what they were built for.
HA! I'm down the road from you in Plainfield with office in Burr Ridge. The taxes in IL are killing us - have to get out. Curious, why did you incorporate in IL? I'm based out of Michigan but expanded to IL last year. However, the tax base is so high I'm looking for alternatives like office in Indiana. Just curious....
Just wanna drop a note here that I implemented this for every Wednesday of my week about 2 months ago. The result?

Massive productivity. I get more done on Wednesdays than any other day of the week and it has not affected by collaboration or communication with my team members at all.

Highly recommend this for engineers and designers. Product managers and other roles this might be tough and potentially counter-productive.
You can't really out-diversify the entire economy tanking.

Sometimes you can. Chart [1] shows the ratio of a particular diversified portfolio's value (4x25 Permanent Portfolio) to the three fund portfolio's value starting in 2005. The ratio increases sharply in 2008-2009 and retains its edge through the subsequent stock bull market.

I can't even get them to update the app to include high wind reports, much less "people are shooting at us!"
Would somebody mind explaining what this means in layman terms? I understand what this change is, based on the article, but I don't know what implications it has, from a high level viewpoint, because I don't know much about an I/O system in the first place. For instance, does this mean that a program now be able to detect block level disk changes via this mechanism, or something completely different?
This exactly!
Also:

"It remained unclear how the soldiers could have stumbled into the middle of the camp, sandwiched between Jerusalem and Ramallah. To reach Qalandiya, the soldiers would have had to pass by the so-called separation barrier and through an Israeli checkpoint."

Something seems fishy here. The lines following it do not convince me we got the whole objective story:

"In the camp, they were “stormed by a mob of people with rocks and molotov cocktails,” Lerner said. Their jeep was blocked from turning around and caught fire. The soldiers fled in separate directions.

One of the soldiers had a mobile phone and within 30 minutes was located by several backup units of soldiers and Israeli police. The second soldier was found an hour later in the vicinity of an Israeli settlement."

Two soldiers from a non-combat unit get stormed by a mob armed with stones and Molotov cocktails, their car catches fire, but they survive until relieved 'within 30 minutes' (presumably, that's at least 15 minutes later)? I find that hard to believe.

Pixlee | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

Pixlee is revolutionizing the relationship between people and brands. We help companies leverage customer photos/videos from social media to improve marketing.

We work with over 100+ customers, including top brands such as Converse, Kenneth Cole, UGG Australia, Mattel, Charlotte Russe, Marriott Hotels, and AMC Theatres, to drive higher online conversion, increase performance of owned media, and create a more authentic brand experience. A graduate of the Stanford StartX accelerator, Pixlee is an Andreessen Horowitz and XSeed Capital portfolio company. As a rapidly growing startup, we are constantly looking for talented people to join the Pixlee team and to help us revolutionize the intersection of big data and social media. At Pixlee we work hard, love to learn, and value teamwork and humility. We’ve got a big vision and we’re looking for game changers to join our team.

We look for talented, high-potential individuals who aren’t jerks. Our proposition to them is simple: Pixlee offers a unique opportunity to thrive and grow rapidly in a small-team startup environment operating at big-company scale. Our customers are some of the largest brands in the world and everything you do here affects millions of consumers.

We believe in using the right technology for the task, and we use a mix of rails, backbone, python, scala, elasticsearch, and postgres.

For me, I've really felt that I've been able to grow very rapidly, and also been given the autonomy to make many decisions you can't make at a much larger startup. Its a very tight knit group, and we like to have fun.

What we're looking for:
- Software Engineer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/pixlee/jobs/86332#.Vg126xNVhBc
- Other: http://www.pixlee.com/careers

You can also email a resume/portfolio to dennis[at]pixleeteam.com
Tyler's course on egghead.io was amazing, can't recommend his content enough.
The sample problems are...well let's just say if every dev I work with had to solve those problems on the spot right now, there'd be no developers in the office tomorrow. And guess what? We still push code. Our application is still being built.

It's problems like that which terrify newbies.
Atlas | Seattle, WA | Full-time, ONSITE

Is driving a single vehicle into a camp enough of an offense to warrant Molotov cocktails? It seems like drawing the attention of the Israeli military is not something the average refugee would want.

I just noticed this when I logged in to check on a Mandrill template this morning. Couldn't believe it is an immediate TOS change without any sort of grandfathering or timeline for existing customers - that's a terrible way to handle things, never mind the rapid shutdown.

Doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me as a Mailchimp user. I'll be looking at alternatives for both transactional email and newsletters ASAP.
Thanks for the mention jdstafford - I'm on the application development team at SparkPost - we'd love to have you give our service a try. We've got a Slack community up at http://slack.sparkpost.com - feel free to jump in and say hi!
> A lot of people I talk to imagine that the tech problems have all been solved and all that’s left is getting legal and public acceptance. There is great progress being made, but nobody should expect these cars to be perfect today. That’s why they run with safety drivers, and did even before the law demanded it. This time the safety driver also decided the bus would yield and so let the car try its merge. But expect more of this as time goes forward.

I think most people who say the issues are social and legal don't think the technical problems are solved, they just think that we are inexorably progressing towards solving them at a more rapid rate than the social and legal problems.
