Yeah, the timing is definitely something that could use feedback.

I think they should have at least done something similar to the pull-to-refresh animation (where the shape isn’t “complete” until you’ve pulled far enough). Why couldn’t they pop up a tiny circle or something under your finger that turns like a clock and shows you how much longer you have to press to activate a 3D Touch?

Steve Woz and Palmer Luckey: Virtual Reality, Yes. Augmented Reality, Not Yet
This is basically how PhD qualifying exams work, as well as the defense to an extent.

You're welcome to guess or describe how you'd think about something, but you should be willing to clearly state when you're really out of your depth. It's important to note, though, that this isn't done adversarially; it's usually just a natural conversation that goes down a particular rabbit hole.
If you're tied to AWS then Lambda is great. If you don't want to be tied to AWS or if you need more control over resource allocation/longer running jobs then that's what all the emerging "container engine" services are for.
I'm not sure we disagree. When you say "conceptualize and build", you may be talking about a developer-in-the-role-of-designer or developer-in-the-role-of-entrepreneur. Certainly Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. were once developers, but they didn't get rich because they were employed as coders and got a bunch of merit pay raises.

So I was simply speculating that there may be a "ceiling" on developer salaries, that is, salaries received for writing code.
If you can get that type of information, why not. It could only help for a more accurate comparison.

Right now, StartSSL needs to do a quick search on their database to see which certs had email sent to a domain other than the one for which the cert applies. All such certs should be revoked immediately, and the owners of the domains involved notified of the breach.

Also, did they check properly for TLD and subdomain issues? If I have "me.blogspot.com", can I get a cert for "blogspot.com"? (What's a TLD today? It's complicated. See "https://publicsuffix.org/")
True Object-Oriented and Immutable Java Web Framework, 0.32.7 Released
Almost everyone is doing the API economy wrong
I got my father an iPad Pro over the holidays - he loves it.

He uses it for listening to music, writing emails, and surfing - the same things you'd do with any laptop, but he likes the iPad form factor quite a bit.

Most importantly, the iPad Pro (and I guess, now the smaller iPad Pro) is the only platform in the entire world that offers competent Chinese stylus input.

Typing Chinese is a pain in the ass - there are several ways to do it and all of them largely suck and require a steep learning curve (and even then, still a pain in the ass). There has been a lot of demand for writing-based input methods, but most of the solutions so far have sucked a lot. The hardware surrounding it has been bad, and so has the software, which often required you to enter a single character at a time tediously, with poor recognition rates to boot.

The iPad Pro is the first device that let him write entire sentences at a time, which made input much faster and more natural (you used to have to write a character, pause, select from a list of guesses, repeat). Not to mention the low lag between pen movement and on screen display makes the whole process way more pleasant. Being able to write entire sentences also improves the recognition accuracy of the software, which tilts it from being useful-but-crappy to godsend.

Not defending all of their content/conclusions - but the podcast was only like 20 minutes long so I think they were using validation errors as a general "proxy metric" for the care/attention-to-detail the candidates used in making their sites. You might call it "sad and pedantic" if there were other articles out there doing the same thing, but this was really the only one I've come across (and I generally pay attention) that focused on a comparative "peeking under the hood" of the respective sites. I wish they hadn't taken that jab at Bernie, too, but the podcast was interesting if for no other reason than it's the only one of its kind I've seen thus far. I agree with you that it is a super-important topic and I hope we see some deeper dives in the future.

"Full stack" is an alias for web developer nowadays, and I thought everyone kind of assume that. Btw if one shouldn't use the term "full stack" unless he is also writing operation system, then maybe anyone who doesn't write hardware driver is not full stack as well.
It's certainly easier for automation. I think the security implications are mostly the same - you're vulnerable to DNS spoofing and BGP hijacking either way. With email validation, a misconfigured or breached email server is enough to get a certificate, while with http validation, it's your web server or web app that could be vulnerable.
Doesn't help much if your hands are too small to reach more than a third of the way across the screen while holding the phone even vaguely securely.
I want to disagree a little on this. I won't disagree that the 'war on drugs' is out of control, largely mismanaged, and likely unnecessary. What I do want to say is I think it's a bit unfair to say "It never was about fighting drug use or preventing the harm it can do."

I think it's fair to say the funding and huge catalyst for the war on drugs started in Miami in the 80's. During this time where was a ridiculous amount of violence. Violence that occurred in broad daylight, that had no regard for the public, with weapons police didn't have access too. CENTAC was started and gave law enforcement a more level playing field, and had a huge impact on the violence related to the drug trade in south Florida. It effectively removed lots of violent criminals from the streets. Just look at the crime stats before and after the initiative, it's pretty clear there was a public benefit.

While I agree there are very unfortunate unintended consequences of the war on drugs, I think we also have to give credit where is credit is due. Lets learn from it and do something better moving forward.

There's a big difference between "can be used to" and "is designed to".
The culture is what it is. When you interview, you can probe it, to get the broad strokes, but living in it will be required to know how compatible you are with it. IMO, culture comes from the top and is heavily influenced by the managers in between you and the top.
Their actions don't matter because there's no tangible benefit - even for themselves, it's just for the self satisfaction of control.
This may not be a problem in tech as salaries are higher than most industries. But working in life sciences/healthcare without a professional certification (MD, nurse, etc) and you can easily enjoy the 8-10 hours a day when you are at work while the rest of your life sucks.

All the passion in the world does not make up for the stress of barely paying off your student loans or still feeling guilty every time you go to the grocery store when you are in your late 20's. The value you are not collecting does not turn into rainbows, happiness, and sunshine, it just goes to your boss or your boss's boss or into the shareholders pockets.

My experience in healthcare shows corporations will push the "look at all the good things we are contributing to" mantra to their employees while they turn around and fight laws that would reduce medicare reimbursements (it's possible it is a sensible/good thing to do, but it wasn't even a conversation that was allowed to be had).

As you get older, your view on benefits changes dramatically.

When I was fresh out of college, I had no wife, no kids, no bills, no house. I took all the cool startup perks - free concert tickets, free box tickets to pro sports teams in town, free RedBull, free pop and food, free lunch.

Now in my 30's I have bills, investments, a house mortgage. I went to interview at some smaller startups and established web agencies and they were pitching me on all the "freebies" and I'm thinking, "You know what? Free RedBull doesn't pay my mortgage or my car payment." My view completely changed from taking the handouts to trying to leverage a higher salary in lieu of those things.

You have to remember, you only have so many years where you can burn the candle at several ends and still walk away with your sanity.
Don't forget the removal of the C-style for loop, along with the increment ++ and decrement -- operators.

> 3) American infrastructure was rated a D+ by the ASCE, so in what way is having government the sole provider of infrastructure a guarantee of quality?

The same thing is true in most other parts of the world (i.e. who is financially responsible for building and maintaining the roads). In general you will find that the milder the climate is, the nicer the roads are.

> 4) slightly unrelated, but do you really think we'd have the same level of urban sprawl, needing a car to get anywhere in suburbia and such a heavy reliance on fossil fuels if roads were built through market forces rather than government subsidy?

It is already mostly financed through market forces by local governments and via various use taxes (e.g. fuel tax, property tax, etc)

I think 3D touch is a lot like a right-mouse click in the desktop environment, in that there is rarely anything to indicate where you can do it. You basically have to read about it or just try.

This is why I read comments on HN before visiting the site.
From the original article:
"The last forty years has seen a huge proliferation of think tanks and political NGOs whose purpose, beneath all the verbiage, is to execute political agendas by proxy."

This is how powerful governments shape the world:
1. Create ideas (lies)
2. Get the press to constantly write those ideas
3. Change the truth

Once the truth is shaped you can now do what you want. In fact you now have to do required things to keep your country safe.

Examples: Millions of people unnecessarily dying in Iraq and Syria.
I'm not sure I agree that XCode is the reason OSX is preferred by developers. Maybe some?

Most of the developers I know prefer OSX because of the close-enough-to-linux terminal experience and compatibility of most libraries. Rails, Scala, Node, JAVA all run pretty similarly on local machines as they do on the servers.

I suppose it just depends which flavor of developer you hang with!
You're telling us the presence of joke entries somehow negates the absence of women? That logic makes no sense.
It's curious that the smaller phone is not a 'pro' device. I just want it to be smaller, not less powerful or even less expensive. There are of course size which limitations which dictate that smaller devices cannot cram all capabilities into the same space.

Well, I did mean the physical properties behind the symbols, i.e. speed of light, energy quantum, gravitational constant.

I understand that the numerical quantities we assign to those constants are arbitrary, but even though they're not dimensionless, the physical properties they represent are still considered constant, am I right?

"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

While I enjoy the recent surge in popularity of such a movement, my primary issue with drug policy is that it is unconstitutional, or at leasty arguably so. I fail to see a properly explained distinction between drug X and $ANYOBJECT Y when it comes to any governments ability to restrict a person from it. Whats the difference between caffiene and mj and alcohol? What about mj and harder drugs? What about harder drugs and two cans of coke a day? A person can be addicted to anything, (not to ignore the chemical/biological addictive properties) so what is to prevent any object from becoming a danger to the person or those around theme? To me this seems to be the core foundation upon which anti-drug persons base their argument. ie. "Once a person is addicted, they are likely to become a criminal and violate other peoples rights, so it's the governments duty to prevent that!".

To me though, it's not the governments duty to essentially engage in pre-crime criminalization. We all know about the private prison industry, but what gets me the most is that people in prison for non-violent drug charges are almost there, not because the drug itself was a crime, but because the underlying, implied logic is that they were about to become criminals anyway.

All of this flies in the face of the constitution, for once it is admitted that it's the duty of government to protect a person against their own actions, very few serious objections can be advanced against further encroachments.

In essence the drug war is a huge slippery slope which only opens up our system for further degradation of fundamental rights.

Also, I would to point out, beyond and before what is proposed as a mostly racist basis for the drug laws, that the larger purpose for the original drug wars (Opium Wars I and II, misc smaller conflicts), were largely about two other factors that are far too often overlooked:

1. Black-markets = free flowing, unaccountable money. Even in the modern times, this is a favorite of the three letters, to get black budget money thats outside the oversight of congress. If there isn't a blackmarket, you simply create one by buying off the politicians to make something illegal.

2. Similar to the racists vein, but more as a tool of control of the masses. while I have no problem constitutionally with legalization, the national security implications of "opiating the masses" are not to be ignored. The state of the Chinese population after introduction of mass quantities of opium as a good example of this done as a deliberate strategy.

As an aside, at one time I bought into the Dupont/Hemp conspiracy, but have since been able to find very little to no evidence to support this claim, so just a word of warning to any others who have fallen for it, that you should try to find some sources (and don't forget to share them if you do!)
If by safe you mean memory managed by default with opting out (unsafe keyword, or something similar), then I would bet so.

If you mean safe like there's no way a programer can screw this (100% memory managed like JavaScript, Python, Ruby) than I'd bet not.

I was hired for $65k or so after a 6-month job search left me financially drained. There was the promise that typical raises could go into the 10% or more per year region, with a possible promotion to a Senior Software Engineer position, but after a sister company had a poor year of growth and a lawsuit hit my company this past year, I'm at-or-under $70k. It's awful, especially when given that I work 44-48 hours per week and given that my domain knowledge is incredibly broad and I know my specialities inside-and-out, and have a Master's. I was really expecting an appropriate pay raise recently because my work helped my company sign a new client who's something like 100x their size, their "chump change" is, like, double everything the startup makes.

Part of the reason that I'm staying is because I'm in a tremendous amount of debt and therefore I've become extremely paranoid and risk-averse. Part of the reason is that said debt has me working a second job and I am in a largely-dysfunctional relationship besides, so I have very little energy outside of this job. Part of the reason is that I have gained 80 pounds and no longer fit into any nice clothes for a job interview, with very little chance of me getting anything nice any time soon.

Man, that paragraph makes me sound like such a downer. I promise that I'm really happy and easygoing most of the time! That's just the more-sober reality of why I find it a huge struggle to jump onto some new thing.

It would be cool to have a map showing what stack/language is most marketable in what area, so that one can adjust time spent on learning new tools depending on where they want to go. But maybe these things evolve faster than the time scale involved in getting enough experience to be attractive for employers.
Also, people don't usually have that stuff memorized, so a quick ad-hoc survey like this would end up with a bunch of nulls and a bunch of incorrect guesses.

As somebody who deploys a lot of business-critical Python apps at $EMPLOYER, I don't even write a requirements.txt.

During development and integration testing, I want to get the latest version of my dependencies that I should be compatible with, so I use SemVer matching (somepackage~=1.2.3) in setup.py.

For deployment, I want to use the exact dependency packages that the code was tested against. So after automated testing is complete, it runs "pip wheel" to build wheels of my package and all its dependencies and put them into a directory, then that is the artefact I use to recreate the package in production. Much more reliable than requirement.txt, since it doesn't assume that PyPI or internet access is available, and it doesn't care if upstream authors silently update packages without changing the version number.

The last scenario is unit-testing, because sometimes tests have extra dependencies the rest of the code doesn't share, like a mock library or other test helper. In theory, these extra things could be put in setup.py's "tests_require" option, but then they'd only be installed if you run tests with "python setup.py test", and they'd also be installed with "easy_install", which is terrible. I'm thinking maybe I should use setuptools' "feature" syntax, so you only get the test dependencies if you install with the [test] feature.
The one's I linked to are listed as changes incorporated into Swift 2.2 per the announcement.
Do you have sources for this? My gut reaction is that your claim that tough drug laws that targeted poor and minority communities wouldn't have passed without the support of those communities seems false. These communities have little political power, and the laws would not have passed without the support of the economic and political elite.
