I used Fiverr to make a logo a couple of months ago. The company I used not only wouldn't follow any of my directions (they were very simple, considering it's only $5), but the logo quality I received was nothing compared to the portfolio that was advertised.

I tried a few other sellers with different services and it was pretty much the same thing.

It leads me to believe that most of the sellers are overseas workers with copied portfolios.

Maybe you want to self-select out of companies who have questions like that.
no it's a new standard. Chrome and IE already support it on Google Maps because a pinch to zoom is ctrl+mousekey for them. And now Safari has introduced a new standard. This is nuts. Why is there a W3C? Everybody is doing it differently.

As someone who's using Lambda in production today (successfully, at relatively high volume), I'd like to suggest that what most would-be Lambda alternatives miss is the infrastructure piece. Talk of lock-in notwithstanding, running your code on Lambda requires minor changes at most (assuming it's already structured as a callback). The real value is not having to manage EC2 boxes via any abstraction other than the Lambda service itself. You set one knob (CPU/RAM). It does the rest. That's the part that adds value for me as a developer and an operator.
No.
Also, Chrome's engine comes from the same roots as Safari's.

I'm not sure I follow. I just sat here with my 6S trying various ways of holding it for a good 10 minutes, and I can't figure out for the life of me what you're talking about when you say that you have to hold it lower to double tap the home button than you do to firmly press it. If anything, I find the exact opposite to be true: I need to support the bottom of the phone less when I am simply double-tapping on the home button, while I need to have more support towards the bottom of the phone if I want to firmly press it.

This seems to make sense, intuitively, as well: I'm applying way more pressure to the bottom of the phone with a firm press of the home button than I do when I lightly tap it, even if I have to tap it twice.
You are also ignoring the social aspect of education and just focusing on the learning part.

So buy the upgrade.

Me, I'm the type of guy to have 10gb of music, photos and apps, and offload a lot of stuff to my PC and stream increasingly more. I'm okay with 16.

Is 16 a bit silly? Sure, but it's an easy way to pad the margins a bit and there's just plenty of people for whom 16 is just fine, to the extent that the upgrade option is a decent solution.

e.g. my entire office is on iPhones and they use it for mail and some other stuff, 80% of their storage is unused, will be unused forever, and it makes sense not to pad that even more and increase the base price.

I wish the price bump was a bit smaller if you want to increase your 16gb, more in line with their cost price, but... I'm not at all opposed to the notion that a 16gb base model exists.
Well for some reason I can't seem to be able to delete my comment, so I guess there isn't much I can do =(

Ontario teachers unions calls for moratorium on Wi-Fi in schools
For a while, I ran a small non-profit gaming site. This was well before Let's Encrypt, so we looked to StartSSL for a free certificate. They denied us.

Why?

Because we had links to a Paypal account set up to take donations. Even though PayPal had its own security, and we were only providing a link to it, that was enough for them to deny us the cert. They refused to understand that WE would be conducting no financial transactions using their service; or that PayPal was a separate entity.

It was maddening, and we ended up abandoning the whole idea of having SSL. Would that LE had existed.
That is a lot like the American system after you factor in wealth inequality, the cost of legal representation, and non-enforcement against the wealthy.
Yes, the obvious first mitigation was to ensure that all iMessage clients used pinned certificates. This prevents an attacker who can forge their own certificates from obtaining encrypted iMessages and launching the JHU attack.

Can you share some more details about what you're trying to do with us? There's a latency floor when using the API Gateway of about 200 ms, which is unacceptable for a lot of APIs, but other than that we largely haven't been running into the issues you're dealing with. And if Meetup is any indication, AWS seems really invested in Lambda. (In terms of cost, it really would depend on what you're using it for.)

Looks like the new iPhone is indeed a price cut. Let's hope we see more of that.

Apple still trails total market in phones, tablets, notebooks, TV devices, and computers so I don't think it's quite game over yet.
To add another reason beyond just cost of living: Chicago has a bunch of really high quality engineering schools nearby that produce an absolute ton of engineers. You have people from UIUC, Northwestern, Purdue, IUB, UWMadison, and Michigan all moving to chicago after graduation. It creates a sort of glut in the labor supply.

A lot of them cannot or just don't want to move far away for more pay. A lot of the grads are from chicago or smaller midwestern cities.
No that's not it. The whole majority decision is one line long:

"The motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied."

That's it. No four justices voted to take the case. That decision sets no precedent and they declined to provide any reasoning which could even be persuasive in terms of trying to predict how they will react to future leave-to-file motions.

We can speculate as to why they decided not to take it, but we can't know for sure because they didn't say.
Speed: Mach 2.2 is the fastest speed possible with known technology already accepted by the FAA. At that speed, you can have good takeoff performance (and comply with airport noise restrictions) and good cruise performance. We'd to build a faster V2 or V3, in due time.

I lived in the US for a couple of years. I was very surprised that virtually everybody told me that I needed help from a professional accountant (esp. considering my situation was quite simple). Is it the culture or is it really that hard?

Anyway, after a little bit of research, I think I did it correctly with no particular problem. It was just a matter of finding the appropriate forms and reading the documentation.

It also doubles the bandwidth of that interaction. You had one slow and one fast interaction, and there now are two of each.

Big question seems to be what the best mapping between those interactions and commands is.

You want to map the most frequently used interactions to the fast interactions, but you also want the mapping to be learnable (consistency across applications likely is needed there), and 'intuitive' in the sense that the mapping starts feeling normal relatively easily.

From what I read, it seems it isn't even clear yet that there a good mapping exists under those constraints.

I do look forward to more experiments here, though. Multi-finger force touch? I can't imagine how that would work on an iPhone that you hold with one hand, but on an iPad, there might be some really useful application.

Cameras in the LCD screen that allow non-contact interactions? Apart from the "screen is a copier" use that Sun predicted in project Starfire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfire_video_prototype), it seems hard to envision uses, but who knows? Signing to your screen could be easier or faster than typing.
>No, I want a browser that does what a browser should do; let me easily and speedily browse the web. Safari is great at that.

Except it isn't. Because it's non standard different way of handling things means it's a lot more work for Web developers to give the same experience they give in chrome to safari users. You get a dumbed down experience on safari as a result.

As someone who refused to sink any significant time into Swift until they open-sourced it, I have found it to be the most productive statically-typed, native language out there. Its type system feels like the best of C# and Rust, while it feels that the speed at which one can pick it up is not that much greater than that of Go despite being a much richer language, (I've started learning in January and am at the level now where I can take on a fairly complex Swift project and feel comfortable about being able to finish it in time, plus I now use Swift for almost any programming task, 90% of them at least).
Plus, you have to give Apple credit for getting the open-source release right, (GitHub, pull requests, proposals, mailing lists, frequent dev builds, Linux support - I guess Chris Lattner has been the one driving this, but I have to give credit to Craig Federighi and Tim Cook for letting him do it.)

The only part that frustrates me is that SourceKit seems to crash every other minute for no apparent reason - but that is no fault of the language itself.

Swift is the first piece of Apple software I'm genuinely excited for.
Congrats to everyone who contributed to the 2.2 release

This is a very good point, I have kind of accepted your point, but never thought of it explicitly this way. So now I wonder: Richard Stallman could probably have done a lot more for Software Freedom by living a less rigid life. Although, part of me is kinda glad that there is at least ONE person who does try to live like he does.
Nobody was discussing how a keyboard works, but how the web works after you press return on the keyboard. And it's sad that too many web developers in general[1] seem to have the weakest understanding of such basic principles.

[1] super-anecdotal self-selected data points from hiring and conversations
in a purely functional language like Haskell, you can sort a billion numbers in nanoseconds, all with no performance crushing side effects. Yes, it's true, that's the kind of results you get with lazy evaluation!

When you start searching the resultant sorted list, it might be somewhat slower than if you sorted using other techniques, but--silver lining--search times will only improve after that!

I'd give you the actual stats but so far I've only lazy evaluated them.
It seems they are, although the ad industry never shied from hurling gross statements either.

I feel like the whole "poker face" thing has been my achilles heal. I AM guarded with a lot of my personal information; in my experience for good reason.

So what do you do in your free time? FUCK YOU. If your answer isn't play softball and train for marathons, it's a way-ahead/way-behind scenario. Maybe you get lucky and interview with someone who has shared interests.

> I really like movies. I watch a lot of modern movies just for entertainment, but I also watch a lot of classics, even boring ones, to try to fill out my knowledge. I would love to make a short film and get it accepted to a film festival.
< Huh... which means: so you're, like, not very social? And you don't seem very serious about your career if you are trying make movies or whatever. Good luck getting into Sundance, whatever the fuck that is.

I once, only once, made the horrendous mistake of telling two interviewers (they were doing the old gang-fuck) that I was passionate about Starcraft II (it was 2011 or something). I thought, what the hey, the truth will out. If I'm just open and genuine at least that will come across as a positive. They actually openly ridiculed me and subsequently told me that they weren't the kind of company that extended much free time or control over schedule to their junior employees, which I thought was especially interesting (frustrating) for two reasons: 1) Why the fuck are you asking me about my free time if I won't have any? 2) They just got through explaining how their company didn't have any hierarchy. So what the fuck is a "junior employee" in a company with no hierarchy?

On non-personal subjects, saying "I don't know" has never worked as well as everyone claims. Oh, just say, "I don't know". That shows maturity and confidence. WTF? Whenever I said, "I don't know" in an interview, the interviewer kept pressing me for an answer until I produced some garbage that I'm sure sounded rather like BS, because it was.

But apps access files, databases, listen for intents. You definitely need some adjustments by app developers, even if Android handles most of the implementation details.
so, Android has become a full blown OS just OS X or Windows. Thats great.

As long as Google keeps mucking up the UI, the core competency of being a intuitive smartphone that is effortless to use remains an elusive goal.
In theory, cryptocurrencies like Zcash [1] should solve the issues with transaction privacy. However, enforcing taxation when using a totally private and anonymous currency disconnected from government control would be nontrivial if not impossible.

> Plenty of websites have a contract

For the 1000th time, SHOW that contract. Do you even understand what a contract is? Youtube et al have a document they call the "terms of service", but that is not a contract.

Seriously, show where Youtube offered terms, where the user had the opportunity to read, review, and understand those terms, and where they signal their acceptance and intention to be bound by the terms of the contract. The exchange of consideration - that is, Youtube sending a video in exchange for the user giving their time to watch certain ads - only happens after the offer and acceptance.

Documents don't magically become contracts because you wish they were binding. Do I really need to include a link to a TOS for reading my comments to demonstrate why unilateral contracts are an insane idea?

This belief that you get to control what people do with data after you hand it over is highly unusual and antisocial.
It's really not that hard to run your own servers (VPS) - it's almost always the best way to control things and they scale up way better than most people think.

But if you're really scared of that, farm out the entire operations system to a company like vmfarms. They'll take care of everything for you. A bit more expensive but they will hold your hand the entire way.
Actually, Concorde was too big: 100 seats. It worked NY/London but at ~$20k/seat they couldn't fill enough seats several times daily on other routes. Which means you can't have many airplanes, which means no economies of scale.

With 40 seats and business class prices, the Boom airplane works on many more routes, which means we can make a lot of airplanes and enjoy economies of scale.

Looking into the future, as fuel efficiency further improves, per seat costs come down, and it will make sense to make ever larger aircraft. It's a virtuous cycle that will eventually allow supersonic flight at economy prices.
I don't understand why custom solution seems to favourited by them. It's the same as saying your car is bad because it's running on the most popular fuel.

As a web developer working daily on WordPress websites I would argue that it can be as fast as anything else. Because those websites are mostly static which means caching would make it load really fast. Assuming template itself is written well. So it doesn't matter what engine you're using, it's the matter of optimization.

As for WordPress itself, the biggest problem in my oppinion is plugin compatibility. Yes you have thousands of plugins bus most of them doesn't work exactly/cannot be customized to a given requirements and you end up either modifying plugin and then maintaining them. Or just writing simplified version of it yourself. Which makes even more meaintenance overhead.

Also it's not very good for big blogs with more than 100k posts. Because of the database schema used which is both it's strength and weakness at the same time.
It's my understanding that pinning limits the damage of this sort of attack on those "big" sites.
An argument I would attempt to counter - the market is the gateway. The dealer you buy your illegal cannabis from often also sells 'harder' drugs, such as cocaine and heroin.
Feds Ask Judge to Cancel Apple Hearing
I remember when Twitter first started and there were tons of interesting people talking to each other.

I got freelance jobs through Twitter and internships and friends. One time I told my parents I was going to meet my company who I had been working for for 4 months while only knowing the people through Twitter. They were concerned.

But today, it seems like most everyone who follows me is a brand of some kind.

Twitter is still, imho, the greatest social network. But it could be so much better.

Now if only the some of the "technocratic" and "forward-thinking" VCs and corporations of the Bay actually gave a rat's ass about public infrastructure and lobbied for improvements to the system, maybe it would be somewhere.

Alas, I guess moving millions of people is too boring and too close to admitting that maybe the government is better than private institutions at solving a variety of problems.
Just wanted to chime in that 700/day is not typical, esp for a 6 month+ contract. Typically you'll see 500-600 for Java/Ruby/Python, and that's for experienced people (5+ years). Finance gigs can pay 550-650 usually over the long term. Boutique / specialised consultancies can charge 700-1000+ a day but it's usually short contracts and they take a big cut off of the contractors rate. I know of "architect" roles that have paid into the 800s but it is atypical. Certainly not as common as new grads making over 200k USD in SV bigcos.
I didn't know they were public. Looking at the stock chart they don't exactly kick ass.

About that official XML...

I tried the free fillable forms (https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/#/fd). When I submitted, I got an e-mail saying that it had been submitted. Cool. Then I got an e-mail that said "XML Validation Error". Not cool at all. I mean, I can handle that, but you're sending out XML validation errors to random members of the public? You expect them to understand it?

Worse: The e-mail had a link to a site you could paste the text of the error message into, and get a more comprehensible message back. Well, why didn't they run it through that before sending the e-mail?

Turns out I entered zero on a line I should have left blank, and the XML validator wasn't expecting a child node there (the zero). I was able to figure that out, because the validation failed message was actually fairly readable, as XML error messages go, but still... they're going to hand that message to your barely-computer-savvy grandmother. Not cool. Not cool at all.

Third party demostrated how to unlock Farook's iPhone on Sunday 3/20
So many negative views of GAE, I have to add our, overwhelmingly positive, experience.

We were paying $200/month for a load balanced EC2 setup in 2011, that's for around 2k unique daily users. The load balancer kept on false triggering new instances, so we went to GAE in 2012.

Since then our uptime has been horrifically good, heavily thanks for GAE, trashing that of our competition, who mostly use AWS.

Last month we paid $150 for everything on GAE, traffic, CPU, etc. G-Analytics shows a peak of 54k daily uniques last week. All the scaling is dealt with for us, we can handle literally any traffic peak. i.e. x27 more traffic, lower cost, better uptime, spending virtual zero time looking at the operations side of things.

This is a mission critical app, although, we've never invoked support, so I can't comment on that side.
Can you give an example of this? Nearly every app that I've needed to switch between offers some kind of ability to open the file using the share menu. Especially when I can throw Dropbox or iCloud into that mix, I've yet to come across a situation where I couldn't open 1 file in 2 different apps.

Am I missing your point or is there more nuance to your particular situation?
You mean you can define a sorted list in nano-seconds. The actual calculations (ie. obtaining every result) take much longer...
