Because you don't always have to use it like a laptop; most of the time you're not editing, so most of the time you're not using the keyboard.

This is the same as, say, people who prefer to use laptops docked to a large screen with an external keyboard and mouse. Most of the time, they can get away without needing all that, which is why they have a laptop instead of a desktop PC plugged into the same peripherals. But sometimes, for an especially heavy-duty task, it's good to be able to temporarily assume the next form-factor up.

I lived under the Concorde flight path near Dulles. I couldn't hear it, but we'd go out side to watch it fly over every now and then.
I don't even care what it was about: people should, in any case, own their own bodies.

Most countries are past criminalising suicide, and self-harm is acceptable (as long as you are considered mentally able). Why is there a difference in risking one's health in every single way but by using psychoactive substances?

Especially considering that clearly the war on drugs was never limited to, or expanded to all substances capable of generating physical dependence.
That's disappointing. I was hoping this might be Google's answer to Amazon Lambda.
Pretty crappy that "Gender" is a two-choice radio button. Literally gender binary.
Those statistics are really interesting. And that's compounded by the fact that investors don't really care about the total value of a company. They're concerned about the growth potential of companies like Apple while the private prison industry is showing impressive and reliable growth. This creates a powerful incentive to bolster the industry.

There's something obscene about people's retirement funds depending on putting more people in private prisons. It further reinforces the division of society where the happiness of the rich is directly dependent on increasing other people's misery. It's not surprising that the industry has been caught on a few occasions bribing judges to increase sentencing.

Why e-mail the employer at all? I'm bewildered. This is terrible. If I add a project to my AngelList profile and it e-mails my employer, it will send one signal and only one signal: I'm looking for another job.

Why the heck does AngelList think this is a good idea? If the choice is between (a) not using AngelList, and (b) having an uncomfortable conversation with my bosses about an e-mail they received, then sorry, I'm going with (a).

Knowing what you don't know is pretty important, because then you know when you have to go look something up rather than rely on your memory. When I have to call mmap(2), I know that I have to read "man mmap" first, because I know that I just can't remember the order of the five arguments, or if that's even the right number. I've been working with UNIX type systems for 30 years or more, and have worked on the guts of three different kernels on many different architectures, but when I say that I know UNIX, I think that I mean that I really know where the stuff I need to know is described in the man pages.
Saurbraten ( http://sauerbraten.org/README.html ) is under the ZLIB license, and the engine tech is open source, but the content itself may require separate licensing (then again, it's pretty easy to hack on new textures and levels).

Nexuiz is under the GPL ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexuiz ), and more importantly, so is its content.

Basic game plan (to me) would be to fork the engine code for one of these and add hooks for servers events and reporting, pay some devs to build a few arenas, and then test the waters. You could probably have pilot up in the time it would take to finish wrangling legal with anyone else.

The no commercial sonic booms legislation might go away if it were an American company asking for it. I have no doubt that the Concorde being foreign owned helped speed that legislation through Congress.

Of course being a little no-name company won't help matters much here, but I expect that actual production of this would involve a partnership (or probably buyout) with one of the big name companies that have a lot of congressmen on their payroll.

There has also been a lot of research into minimizing Sonic Booms since the 70s. Military jets typically don't care, but passenger jets could definitely benefit.
The specific energy of kerosene is ~40 MJ/kg [0] while the specific energy of lithium ion batteries is ~1 MJ/kg [1].

This looks really cool, but this looks like it raises the same issues as some other Slack analytics integrations I've seen. Namely, if you have guest users in your corporate Slack (even if just relegated to specific channels), I've been told that Slack's permissioning via their API is pretty limited to the point where I'm guessing any Slack guest could use this service and gain access to sensitive info.

Not a dig against you per se, and companies with guests in their Slack may not be the target audience. I'm more just hoping for a solution to this so that the mere fact that we have Slack guests doesn't block us from using cool services like these.
What about killing a tab in chrome? In android, I could hit back and it would kill that tab and take me to the previous one, which works beautifully for Reddit. With iOS it's like five clicks to get back to the previous tab.
Ok, so that gives us two options:

1) make taxes impossible to avoid. Problem: tax code is written not by the few tax-evading small businesses, but by the many tax-evading large businesses, who won't be spending less on getting loophole-filled laws written. So this plan won't work.

2) force people to pay less taxes, such that they cost of evading is higher than the cost of paying them.

Storage is one of the reasons why I could never get used to using my phone as a music player.

I keep my 50GB+ music collection on a separate device (FiiO X3), which allows me to stick to the lowest storage tier for any phone I'm interested in, and not have to worry about expandable storage (which seems to be on the way out as a trend, unfortunately).

Also, I'm a rather heavy user and my phone tends to only barely last the entire workday and commute before running out (if it lasts at all). Having a separate device for music means I don't need to feel guilty about wasting phone battery when listening to music.

The downside is you end up having to carry 2 devices instead of one, which can honestly be annoying at times, but I'm willing to make that compromise. YMMV of course.
That's great -- and I'm glad you disagree. It's awesome to find a sustainable level of work that can be repeated like that, indefinitely.

I felt the need to speak up because I've seen contribution graphs EXACTLY like the author's and yours, except where the end result was not so happy. Take Zach Holman's for example:

https://zachholman.com/posts/streaks/ (chart is 2/3 down the post)

Zach's streak was great for him. Until suddenly it wasn't, and far too late he realized he was burnt out. He's been amazingly public about the whole experience (his subsequent sabbatical, then his being fired from Github, then his year of soul-searching), and for every public story like this I suspect there are many, many private examples that go unheard.

I think it's great when you can reach such a peak of productivity, like in your case. But it's important to recognize that you're kind of an outlier. The endless contribution "streak" doesn't work for everyone, at least not always and indefinitely.

I don't want to generalize about what is always a good level of work and what isn't. What I DO want to communicate is that it's important to be introspective and take periodic steps back to evaluate the sustainability.

After all, a level of work that seems unsustainable might turn out to be quite manageable, and vice versa.

If someone has fraudulently issued a certificate for a domain you own using this (or any other) vulnerability, you're not actually a client of theirs and I don't see how they could force you to pay for revocation. Issuing such a certificate would obviously be a violation of CA/B Baseline Requirements.

Then again, I'm not exactly sure how one would go about reporting such a thing. Browser vendors have done most of the blacklisting for cases like this in the past (either by blacklisting individual certificates, or removing the root certificate completely for massive breaches). I guess I'd try my luck on one of their mailing lists or bug trackers.

If you have a regular certificate from StartSSL, there are no security implications for you because of this. (As in: for you specifically. For the CA system as a whole, this is a "Set-Your-Hair-On-Fire-And-Run-Around-Screaming-Loudly"-scenario.)
The idea that republicans profess to believe in personal freedom in all respects is something libertarians made up to malign Republicans. Republicans, like Democrats, believe that government should regulate the morals of the people when necessary. For Republicans, small government is a means to particular, mostly economic, ends, not an overarching ideological imperative as it is for libertarians. Thus, there is nothing internally inconsistent about Republicans preferring that government intrude minimally into private markets while also preferring a large and strong military apparatus.
Can you sort on the columns?
OK, so this seems like a terrible vulnerability. Does anyone know if (a) StartSSL has been notified and (b) what has been their response. This seems like such a severe vulnerability that publishing it on Blogspot seems too low key. Shouldn't there be a CVE about this?

Seam carving has been in Photoshop, and other applications, for years now (as is clearly mentioned in the linked Wikipedia article).
I got close, but no, I didn't stay quite a full year, and of course that's not normal! I don't think my bad experience at Google was entirely normal, either - certainly not compared to the experiences of friends who worked there before, whose glowing reports were what convinced me to give the place a serious look, or to those of friends who are happily working there still.

And yet - my Google experience was pretty much the same as the experiences I've had at other large companies. The pattern is that I go in thinking that a big company means big reach, big resources, and consequently big opportunities, so it'll be a chance to dig in, learn from the obviously smart and competent people who built whatever it is that made these companies successful, do some serious work, and level up my skill set - only to find myself stuck on some backwater project nobody cares about with managers playing musical chairs and no way to get out until I've slogged my way through some term of drudgery proving that I'm worthy of better things. Well, fuck that: life is short and I'm not here to waste it. Besides, I've never managed to work productively for very long at all without some internal motivation, and trying to slog through pointless work simply so that I can hang on in hopes of doing meaningful work at some point in the future leaves me feeling stifled, frustrated, and ultimately depressed. (Especially when the work in question is full of tedious, inefficient process that has nothing to do with the actual engineering, which was fortunately less the case at Google than elsewhere.)

At this point I can't imagine what it would take to make me consider working for a large company again.

So the risk of accepting compensation in stock appears effectively constant: you can trade the risk that the company won't go anywhere against the risk that you'll be miserable,
but you can't count on any significant return.
Bernie has been pretty clear that he believes the greatest threat to national security is global warming, not Isis.
I think that's fair. I've had both the former and the latter, but unfortunately most of my experiences fall into latter case, where it's simply been hoop jumping. Most of my friends (all about to graduate, so a good number of examples) are experiencing the same.

For example one company gave a problem with five parts, with the final part being solve longest path on a bipartite weighted graph (which is quite a hard and time consuming problem). After that, the next step was a phone technical screen, then an on-site with 4-5 more interviews, most being white-boarding. It was basically hazing instead of an evaluation criteria.

An alternative is my last job, which had a take home test that took about 6 hours, but that was the whole technical part of the process. Being on the other side reviewing them, the problem absolutely gave enough information.

I totally get there's a right way to do it, but like most interviewing trends, companies seem to just be adding this as a step instead of revamping their process.

There are zero precedents under the equal protection clause that do anything like what the link suggested. On top of that the equal protection clause by its terms doesn't even apply to the federal government, since it is situated in the fourteenth amendment. It has been reverse incorporated via the fifth amendment due process clause, but again never in any case remotely like what is being suggested. You can't just look at the words "equal protection" and start extrapolating wildly. That's not how these things work.

There are several memorandum from office of the Attorney General that state Justice Department policy as to where efforts should be focused (e.g. https://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/305201382913275685...) and even before that the federal government tended not to exert a lot of effort on small time marijuana users. But it is emphatically not the case that "personal possession ... is completely legal under federal law".

Please do not spread this type of misinformation, it can be have enormous consequences.

The thinking here is really shortsighted. It only works at companies where there are LOTS of people and lots of people with the same title.

Not only would it make for uncomfortable conversations at work, it would likely get me in trouble with my employers. I can't believe you're actually putting the company names out for people to read when you have SO little data. there is NO practical level of anonymity here.

Amdahls law
People want what they want, and don't usually have a consistent philosophical framework to back it up. They'll just use whatever phrase they've heard that speaks to them and aren't really concerned if they take the other side for another topic. They'll say that state's rights are important when they are arguing for one thing and forget about that principal when it comes to another, and it's not limited to one party or another.

Though there is the odiousness of "state's rights" originally being shorthand for "state's rights to allow slavery". It would be nice if people trumpeting the philosophy remembered that it was the justification for a monstrous institution and a war to maintain it.

> I usually ask "What are you interested in?" and just let them speak

I've tried that a few times but never really got any decent results out of it. (Disclosure: I conduct ~100 interviews a year.)

The question is too open-ended, so IMO it's akin to asking a child "what did you do at school today?". The answers for that are just non-specific and often the candidate falls back to describing what they currently do at their work. Hell, if they are interviewing for a new job, they are looking for a CHANGE, and I learned just one thing they probably don't like. Instead in preparation I go over the candidate's CV and try to gauge what kinds of technologies, environments and problems they have been exposed to. And then I pick the most interesting and/or longest ones as items of discussion.

Most of the times I find that the candidates are happy to tell about their experiences and voice their opinions. This has the dual benefit of allowing the candidates to better relax, and gives me a glimpse into what kinds of details catch their eye. The very best experiences are those where the candidate forgets they are in an interview and end up treating me to a wonderful lecture on a topic that I have not known enough about. When that happens, I always feel cherished.

This is just a public service announcement: depending on implementation of a standard hierarchical wallet, leaking a list of public addresses and a _single_ private key can leak unlimited forward private keys, especially if the public addresses are sequentially generated ones. This was true for some implementations of BIP32, for instance.

I don't know if blockcypher's wallet is vulnerable to this attack, but it's not uncommon for an HD wallet developer's response to this to be "You should never leak a single private key, everyone knows this."

In practice, I have found developers to find this property surprising.

That's not just an off the cuff insult either - I find very few charitable words to describe a company that charges $25 to rekey a certificate for reasons outside the user's control, i.e. heartbleed.

More to the point, in my arrogant opinion, now that a good, free alternative exists, users in the know should pressure the browser makers to come down a lot harder on companies that let this kind of issue fly. There's no need to work through the CAB bureaucracy when, say, Google and Mozilla are probably a lot more amenable to dealing with bad (be that by ignorance or malice) actors by refusing to recognize their crappily-validated certificates.
