This was only recently, but for a while I tried keeping my commits to as small as possible in LibreOffice so that I didn't break the build. Unfortunately this caused major issues in backporting fixes, so I changed my practice.

Whilst my small commits were squashed, it shows that even well formed smaller commits that are part of a larger change can often be problematic.

Keeping your commit history clean is important. When I'm bisecting, I don't want to see coding errors like typos and syntax errors, they literally get in the way of the bisect. And when I'm reading through a source file, I'd like to each commit to be significant, or at least entirely relevant to a change. Minor syntax error changes, whilst they can still sneak into the master repository, should be few and far between.

Basically, it also encourages unit testing, rechecking your code, continuous integration, and a raft of other good and best practices around coding. And your colleagues will thank you.

Merge squashing is actually a pretty decent way around this - I'm going to use it as my workflow now. I'll make frequently code commits on a seperate branch, then squash down into another branch, then push this.

SEEKING WORK

Location: Chicago, IL

Remote: Yes

I'm a full stack developer that has a focus on Clojure and functional programming. If you have an idea for an MVP or need APIs/microservices built, I'm your man.

For people wanting an MVP, I can work with you to flesh out the idea, business logic, and marketing plan. I'm fast and responsive. I'm especially good with working on new SaaS products.

Email in profile.
Oh ok, I didn't know that.

Positioning can definitely hurt a product.
HER (YCS15) | Senior Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | $100-150k

Her is helping lesbian and bisexual women across the world meet each other. With over 400 million women identifying as LGBTQ, no one has ever built a product for this female audience before. It was the most underserved market in the social and dating areas until Her came along to own the space.

Our stack is in GoLang, PHP & MySQL with an iOS client & Android being built right now.

We're a small team on 3 engineers so there's a chance to really come in early and work to shape and scale our company as we launch Android and grow internationally.

We're a culturally diverse team that would love someone to join who cares about building and shipping something with impact.

Interested? Email me on robyn@weareher.com

All of this assumes I somehow don't know I have a headset on, feeding me fake imagery. It only takes the action of the spider to jump at me but me not to feel anything to remind me that I'm actually in an empty room by myself. All 3 examples would be far more effective if they took place in reality though, and your last example would give the same response headset or not.
Not sure why battery is exposed; I guess that's the result of making browsers more like OSes.

The only really annoying thing is the idiotic WebRTC settings. Their love for "data channels" with zero prompts, despite having no legitimate uses[1], ignores your proxy settings. This should be fixed.

1: I asked someone involved with WebRTC. They suggested "maybe a page wants to communicate with your fridge directly" as a serious use of WebRTC data channels.
Pop culture references lower the quality of discourse. You'll notice the general lack of them on the site. They're not value neutral - they make my life worse. Enough other people here agree that it's a social norm, enforced with words and downvotes. Don't be mad! Just don't make pop culture references.
My friends in Australia say it's economy is too reliant on mining and raw exports and that there is not enough value added exports. Is this not a common view in Australia?

I had so much fun with my (original) Lytro camera. For about a month. Then the novelty wore off and it just became a slightly difficult-to-use camera that often took pictures where none of the 10 focal lengths it offered gave a crisp rendition of the subject. So much for "focusing the picture after the fact."

So I thought, hey, that's too bad, but maybe this would be a really great platform for experimenting with computer vision! Or at least I could dig into the file and look for other interesting things to do with the light field photos.

Unfortunately, no dice. The thing is not-at-all hackable - at least at the time, they hadn't posted any specs on their file format or specs for the protocol it uses to talk to the computer. If they had, it might have had a serious 2nd life as a toy for makers. Instead, my unit has gone untouched for at least the past 18 months.

Considering how quickly I lost interest in it for general photography uses, I never even considered buying the Illum. The things it does differently from a regular camera are, by and large, things a decent photographer doesn't really want.

So a consumer product was never going to happen, and even if they had scratched my itch and make a toy for hackers, it would have penned them into a very small niche market in the absolute best case scenario. He made the right choice.
So where does C.P.E. Bach fit on the Seavey-Sinatra scale?

Athletes seem to have have children who do well in athletics; there are three- and perhaps four-generation families in major league baseball, and the NBA has had several two-generation families (Bryant, Barry, Curry). In the arts, one sees less of that. In painting, I can think of the Lippis, in writing I can't get much past the Amises. In the sciences, I can't think offhand of any such names, though I expect the better informed could.

> If you read the Trac thread you'll see that I've answered that. In short, I don't want to do it because that diverts engineering resource away from the right thing to work on (which is reduce the need for CAPTCHA).

I agree, but thinking about GET-only requests is one approach to reducing the need for CAPTCHA. For example, maybe CloudFlare could have better Tor defaults for sites that are serving only static content, and default to Captcha for sites that are POST-heavy (just a high level idea).

Basically, most of the time, GETs have nice properties: idempotent, pure, etc. I think a solution to the captcha problem could take these into account.

I do not think the other solution proposed in the CF blog post, using proof of work with some sort of blinded tokens, is going to work well. A hashcash style proof-of-work is easily defeated with a botnet or FPGA, and reputation-based systems are an ongoing research area.

It's possible there is a silver bullet that we haven't found yet. Have Tor or CloudFlare considered putting out a call for research into the problem?

It's important to let people save face when they say something they regret. We're moving the window a little toward accountability here (the fact that an account said something that got a reply is now immutable), but only a little. Public edit logs would be going much too far, I think.
Qt Creator feels more lightweight and very responsive than CLion. But also feels a little bit too close with Qt.

Initially I didn't like Qt at first because the licensing legalese seemed too complicated for me to understand.

I also felt that KDE and Qt was some sort of technical shotgun wedding that could blow up at any moment.
I would totally use this but its missing ajax.
I agree that it would make it less funny, but the takeaway from that conclusion is that they simply shouldn't do this prank at all. A joke isn't worth harming gmail's UX like this.

Iterable (https://iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA

Come join Iterable. We are 15 people bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer Internet companies like Twitter/Facebook build internally to other large-scale companies. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century.

Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here. This is an opportunity to join a super-fast growing startup, in a huge market and with a great team, while it's still early.

If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

- Scale our messaging API
- Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces
- Write software to build machine learned user models
- Make data visualizations for our email and user data
- Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different: - We are all very focused on self improvement - Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want) - We are chill and empathetic people - The company is completely transparent Technologies you'll work with:

- Scala
- Elasticsearch
- Postgres
- Redis
- AngularJS
- Play Framework
- RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our office at 5th and Market in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me: andrew at my company name

No, you made a shitty title, blame yourself.
Well, let's say (hard to put in precise words as not an American), but even if it mocks Democrats almost equally, it's certainly no pro-GOP, and in fact anti-Republican. It also obviously stands against everything Bible-belt -- which pines it against a good 30-50 million Americans who stand for those things (even if they don't live in the Belt).

In general, it has the same kind of general progressive ideals you'd expect from such a comedic outlet, and even if it makes heavy fun of american society, it can't escape the american viewpoint on the world (e.g it's P.C. in essence, even while making fun of P.C.-isms, it shares the "success is everything" mindset in mocking the middle and "white trash" class that's prevalent everywhere, seldom questions us views of foreign countries and core foreign policy "facts" -- except for rooting for the doves in the the hawks vs doves internal us discussion, etc.).
Unfortunately, the popup Google chose to use looks like an advertisement. The red "new" banner and animated gif.

They might have reacted differently to an actual dialog at first click that says "This will inject an image into your outbound email, and mute the conversation. Continue?" (with the default choice set to "NO".
As I think back on the hardware, I am amazed that my old C=64 could not only run a word processor, but it could spell check. The machine only had 64 kb of RAM and the disks were so glacial that you couldn't touch them much at all and maintain anything like a usable speed.
I don't see it. Could you explain some of those industries? And the layers and organelles analogy? Also (and especially) the wifi point, I didn't get how that related at all.
It's a nice library, but thanks for being a NEGATIVE NANCY from the get-go.
Where I lived pre-prop 13 taxes were based purely on the assessed value of the house. If the assessed value doubled in five years, so did the taxes. And there was no cap on tax rates.

I don't know if it was a state-level thing or if tax districts all did their own calculations back then.

> where gaining knowledge about the physical world that immediately surrounds then isnt important or useful.

It's not only not important or useful - it's actively harmful, in 'that confusing information leads to worse decisions' way.

I get deeply annoyed every time Google translates my searches in foreign languages, or gives me only local stories when I want to buy something overseas (and even replaces my search when the product isn't available locally).

Yes, some times I want to look some local stuff - funny thing is that text search has always the worst results for this case. There are plenty of geographical search engines available (even from Google) that will give you much more information in a glance than the main Google results will give after analysis.

Anyway, DDG has localized search too. You just have to click on a knob.
You still have to get some bitcoin somehow, though, which like GP says may not feel that much different to the average user than pre loading funds into a Flattr account.

Is "sensible" a euphemism for "don't allow brown people in"? I've never heard Japan's immigration policies described as sensible before. Japan as a country is dying because of their low birthrate and overly restrictive immigration policies. What's sensible about that?
Ironically, not using those plugins is a fingerprint in and of itself.
Wow. Safari is so strict, but I wonder if that's because Safari is (my assumption) a less fat browser after all.
That's my point. It wasn't different, so people who say getting rid of prop 13 will somehow cause house prices to fall are probably wrong.
If the stories of people missing out on job offers and so forth are true, Google did real damage to their lives and should make amends somehow.

I'll freely grant that I don't know what, specifically, they should do, but "sorry lol" doesn't really cut it.
If speed is a concern, then using a CDN like jsdelivr is a negative. Why an extra lookup for a single 9KB file? There isn't the benefit that jquery has of it having a higher chance of already being cached from that source. It makes no sense, so I'm not sure why your docs recommend it.

Self-host this file, people.

More than a hard problem, this is arguably an intractable problem. Tor is already vulnerable, and trading anonymity for convenience (or even appearing to do so) would be unworkable. There are other anonymity systems waiting in the wings, and they would arguably gain support if the Tor Project sold out to CloudFlare. The only viable approach for Tor, as I see it, is to treat CloudFlare as damage, to be routed around.

Yes, and that's emblematic of a significant power imbalance between the service provider and its users. If you use GMail or any of their other services, you're just one hundreds of millions of sharecroppers on Google's plantation.

One of the attributes of a good harmless practical joke is that it doesn't call attention to deeper, unsettling truths like that.

"A spaced repetition system (SRS) is a way of efficiently repeating things you don’t want to forget, usually by using electronic flashcards. A SRS exploits the fact that if you remember something well you don’t have to repeat it as often."

It's interesting that the technique simply shoves the same information in your face until you no longer forget it, instead of actually trying to exploit known ways of learning quickly, such as via the Method of Loci.
> impulse nature

How about reverse-order micropayment for donations? The site lets you start tipping right away, but doesn't actually pay until you load money. So you can start using the service right away, and eventually you'll guilt yourself into actually donating in bulk.
> Oh, if it only was that easy. You don't control all the instances of left-pad you include (because indirect dependencies), so pinning it in your project is far from enough.

Yes, lets scrap the entire thing just because we cannot deep-pin individual dependencies. How about adding support for deep-pinning individual dependencies instead?

> re-solved by PIP and gems

Afaik, those two don't solve the problem. If within project P, dependency A depends on C v1 and dependency B depends on C v2, they just can't resolve that conflict. Which is a non-starter for tiny modules.

The Hague, The Netherlands - Javascript developer at H5mag Publishing Platform - h5mag.com - ONSITE

H5mag is the platform to create beautiful online magazines. We're aimed at graphic designers — who often are still focused on print media and have almost no online design experience — and enable them to create responsive online interactive magazines. Our platform makes something that for them used to be almost impossible, magically easy — and the enthusiasm we receive from our users is extremely rewarding.

Technically: the H5mag editor is basically a big Javascript web app. Our backend is a relatively simple data store/rendering layer written in PHP/MySQL.

Some concrete things we want you to work on in the coming period...

* Improve the performance of our editor and reader front-end, eliminate relayouts and repaints
* Make our users happy with new, often requested features, such as guides & grids and undo/redo
* Develop improvements for our editor, such as a new edition management UX and new styling widgets
* Work with us on a system for real-time collaborative editing
* Want to know what moves our users? Participate in our designer workshops and discover their needs.

We're still a small team of developers and UX designers, so you have quite the opportunity to make your mark. Want to know more? Shoot off an email to me: joost [dot] schuttelaar [at] h5mag.com and I'd be happy to share!
I wrote and taught GA's first data science curriculum [0], back when they were a coworking space in NYC. I'm proud to say that out of 20 students, about half got promotions, new jobs, raised significant capital, or had successful acquisitions. Whether the course was a causal factor... it appears to have been correlated.

Students who didn't have time to do much homework quickly lost interest in the course. I wasn't experienced enough at teaching to handle this. I've become a much better instructor since that first time -- at designing curricula, lecturing, managing a diverse classroom, etc. So, I'd say the quality of the class will be highly instructor-dependent.

Snowplow Analytics - Remote, INTERN.

Snowplow Analytics is looking for 1-2 open source software interns this Summer (May through August), for a 6-12 week paid internship. Our interns will work directly on and contribute to projects within the Snowplow open source stack (https://github.com/snowplow). A Snowplow intern loves coding, enjoys experimenting with new technologies and is happiest working "in the open" on community/team projects. Technologies we use at Snowplow include Scala, Rust, JRuby, Go, Hadoop, Kinesis, Redshift, Spark, Akka and Kafka.

This is a paid internship; we will consider remote candidates who are up to UTC +/- 5 hours maximum. Interested? Please email intern@snowplowanalytics.com, and tell us about a piece of software you are proud to have written. (And don't be afraid to suggest specific projects/initiatives/features that you would like to work on in your internship.)

For background on our last 2 internship programs check out:

FBI weighs if it can share hacking tool with local law enforcement
I like Flask but the first time I tried to use it and found it had all these dependencies I was disappointed. It kind of reminds if of when it was fashionable for people to post headlines like, "I wrote a blogging platform in 5 lines of code" and when you go look at it they used some massive libraries which are of course much more than 5 lines.
