Much of the country does require ID: https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_identification_laws_by_state

And requiring ID is not a reasonable step unless you provide a free and easy way to get an ID.
Scala has additional considerations going for it with its integration into the JVM ecosystem.

That said, may I observe that the hype seems to have died down for Scala. Everyone I personally know who was into it has dropped it. None of them would have shipped anything into production. Anecdotal, sure, but that's all we ever really have. My guess is that its own complexity is indeed strangling it. Only time will tell, but I'm not sure Scala is really that great an argument.

And, also, for consistency, yes, absolutely, I wouldn't want to suddenly be handed a Scala system to professionally maintain either.

New York, NY | CloserIQ (https://closeriq.com)

CloserIQ is the network connecting top sales talent to venture backed tech startups. We are a NYC based self-funded and highly profitable recruiting tech startup combining powerful software with world class service.

We're currently hiring for 4 roles:

Talent Advisor: http://clsr.us/jYihA/8bd29 (ONSITE)

Our Talent Advisors attract, engage and onboard top sales talent to the rapidly growing CloserIQ network. You’ll be joining a small team of sales leaders, technologists, recruiters, and growth hackers as a “sports agent” for the top revenue generators in the tech community. Looking for candidates with interest in sales and recruiting.

Talent Development Analyst: http://clsr.us/j2VXg/8bd29 (ONSITE)

This role is a hybrid sales & marketing where you will be responsible for generating demand for CloserIQ by leveraging digital sales & marketing strategies. You'll have a chance to work directly with our founders, wear multiple hats and have a meaningful impact on the success of the company from day one.

Sales and Marketing Intern: http://clsr.us/j8h2w/8bd29 (ONSITE)

We're looking for smart and tech savvy interns to help out as we grow the business. We're a team of 6 based in midtown east. You'll work with our founders, talent team and engineers on all aspects of the business and have a meaningful impact on the success of the company.

Freelance Writer: http://clsr.us/jl7MKQ/8bd29 (REMOTE)

CloserIQ is looking for a freelance writer to help us create and curate relevant content as we build out our content strategy. The focus of this work will be within the scope of sales and careers, along with some viral content.
Does that include the operational cost though? I know it's probably trivial when you're at google's scale, but fetching every RSS feed on the internet every few minutes (or whatever their latency was, it seemed pretty low), processing and storing it seems fairly expensive.
If it's externally accessible to customers, it's production. Whether you call your served content beta is irrelevant.
A Hacktivist Reading List: Aaron Swartz's Recommended Reading
>We users simply don't expect that buttons will suddenly change functionality.

I see this over and over again. Users don't read things they assume are static. Users navigate by item placement, rather than color/text/size/shape. This is interface design 101.

On black Friday last year, I ordered a nice sheet set as a Christmas present for my SO, and the website was set up such that you could click through all the different colors and sizes for each sheet set and the same product page would simply update with Ajax to include new images/prices. So I found the sheets that I wanted and clicked "Add to Cart" -- the location of the button never changed, so I didn't really have to look at it in order to do this.

I found out only much later that the "Add to Cart" button updated on a few of the sheet sets to include a small "Will ship on <date two months in the future>" message above it, indicating that they were out of stock. The button itself remained unchanged, and in the same position.

The company was like "well, we warned you on the ordering page" I had to go back to the website to figure out what they were talking about. They ended up changing their policy of offering out of stock items for sale, in response to massive customer backlash.

If they actually wanted to notify users, they could have grayed out the "Add to Cart" button and created a new "Reserve for <Date>" or "Pre-Order, ships <Date>" button in a different location (probably below the "Add to Cart"). ALWAYS assume users won't notice your message, unless you force them to do something different than what they're used to.
please make this an actual feature in labs. lose the gif and have it send an auto reply to all future responses indicating I am no longer reading the email thread. in the auto-reply have a link leading to how to use bcc
We get a list of Tor exit nodes and regex our logs. We were under attack from Tor for about 6 weeks. We didn't block Tor as we are pro-Tor/privacy etc. The attacker was basically running very crappy pen testing kiddie script stuff against us. We just logged everything and enjoyed the free Pen test.
The list of Tor exit nodes is public and updated live.

What email client would you recommend? I've been stuck in Thunderbird because I require PGP/GPG, but I really hate it. Do you have a favorite client? I really do like Google's Inbox, but the lack of PGP is a blocker for me.
RIP Over-Engineered Blog
they replaced the reply & archive button.
I might be mistaken since I don't use it, but it sounds like its normal behavior.
Yeah, kind of sad that this is an April Fool's joke and not a serious interface. I would love to be able to quickly look stuff up from the terminal.
Visualizing the Porter Ranch Gas Leak
If this were possible, it would be a serious flaw in Tor's design.
Wrong, Google is Cloudflare partner, so it is the opposite, at the very least, one company (Google) loves the fact Cloudflare is doing what they're doing; my estimates peg the value of the data in the hundreds of millions based on what Google already pays to get the same type of data from users.

Second, volume counts do not equal session counts and I find it very hard to believe that a human non-abussive human session looks the same as an abussive session. If true, then it's Cloudflare that's abusing users and exploiting the situation, not TOR.

Also, TOR users are not blocked, but flagged to provided data to Google. Also, Cloudflare's clients like don't even know about the issue since according to Cloudflare they're flagging IPs, not TOR.

How to live inside a Docker container (not april fools, but extreme)
The revision history of this page indicates this is an April fool's thing. Besides images, I might actually totally love using Wikipedia from the command line. It would fit in well with my general command line usage. The Tor feature is particularly cool.

(Just to be clear, this post is not a joke. I actually use a terminal all day for various tasks so it might fit in well.)
I can also access the "premium" resources using my new account, however, on my first attempt I landed on my profile page asking for further details (address, phone number). Having completed my account I can read e. g. "verified solutions" I definitely couldn't access previously.
For most users, yes. If you have an educational account or pay for Google Apps, then no.
If you're willing to give up a tiny bit of screen size for portability, I highly recommend the Dell Latitude E5450.

* 14" 1920x1080 screen
* Excellent keyboard (better than my 13" Macbook Pro)
* Very usable trackpad
* 6-7 hr battery life
* RAM and Hard Drive easily upgradable
* Works great w/recent Ubuntu-derivatives (probably other distros as well, but I haven't tried 'em)

I recommend you try and pick on up via Dell Outlet -- with an occasional 40% off coupon (e.g. there's such a discount available right now) you can get one for less than $450.

ShareLaTeX/DataJoy | EU Time Zone | REMOTE | Open Source | front/full stack devs or Ops/backend.

Help us create tools for scientists by building usable open-source research tools.

We're looking for a remote full-time developer to join our team at ShareLaTeX (https://www.sharelatex.com) and DataJoy (https://www.getdatajoy.com). ShareLaTeX is an online LaTeX editor with over 750,000 registered users, and DataJoy is our new app for online data analysis with Python and R.

You should be comfortable quickly learning new technologies and enthusiastic about improving the efficiency of scientists and their tools. Our current technology stack involves Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Coffeescript, Angular.js, and Docker, so experience in these is useful but not required. We’d rather see that you have demonstrable interest in the problems we are solving, and that you’ve created some great stuff in the past.

We realise people can't be experts in everything but as a small company you will be exposed to all parts of the stack. However if you are much stronger on the front end and usability or on infrastructure, with docker then that is great.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:

* Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* Working hours can be flexible to your needs.

* Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely.

* We’re a bootstrapped & profitable company with no outside investors which means no crazy business pressures, code quality and user happiness comes first.

Sure, if you PR some example tests in I can make that happen.
Indent with tabs or spaces? I wish I didn't need to know
Fair enough! But I for one managed to guess from context (a solitary cover page just wouldn't make much sense) that I was looking at one of them there fancy "presentation HTMLs" and then I just had to guess how to work it. I tried the scroll wheel first (a reasonable expectation), then up-down keys (as many people would), and finally left-right turned out to do the trick.

Some species of HTML presentation-creating software have the good sense and courtesy to put a navigation hint on the cover page. I think it would be a good thing for that to happen more universally.
Building a Team
I think there's potential here, but the claims made in this article don't really hold for me.

I have no idea why BQL would help facilitate communication between domain experts, business analysts, and data scientists.

The parallel to SQL is telling:

Frankly, almost no domain experts waste their time on SQL and most business analysts have better tools suited for their common use cases. So why would these two groups get much out of BQL?

Plus it's another thing for data scientists to learn?

The three stakeholders mentioned in this article don't seem to really benefit from it.

Why not just use R? It solves the problem of communication with non-technical stakeholders through tools like Markdown, knitr, shiny, etc. It has a relatively long history of use, a supportive community, it's super easy to look up how to do things, etc.

I'm sure there are good reasons for BQL, but this article doesn't really summarize them.
Personally, I think it's more about responsible policy when your email client has a roughly 16% market share.

They have to know that people occasionally use gmail for things that matter. Given the size of the user base, any kind of easter egg/joke/prank is going to create issues.

doctl author here. The server isn't unknown, that's its name. This project was a private effort, and this component will be migrated to TLS and a DO domain on Monday. In the mean time, you can create a configuration file at $HOME/.doctlcfg (which is yaml formatted) and add an entry `access-token: <your access token>`, and you won't need to run `doit auth login`.
If you are able to recompile the program, you can disable ASLR. For example on iOS it just requires a change to the MACH-O header of the binary. [0]

But I doubt you could disable ASLR of a running process, for somewhat obvious reasons...

Implementing Client-Side Post Processing Effects in Wayland
You don't have to run the tests if you don't want, the tool has a different state for when you don't have them "ok_no_test". For some backups we run through Uphold we have written some very basic ones, like looking for the existence of some specific users, or that a table has X number of rows, which are very good for quick sanity tests.

From the article:

One of the most notable and enduring Linux desktop paradigms has been desktop effects: the coupling of various desktop environments with graphical niceties, also known as “eye candy.” With the advent of the XComposite extension in the mid 2000s, mainstream eye candy was taken to new levels through a small project called Compiz which used the texture from pixmap extension to apply hardware-accelerated effects to windows on the fly.

Partial implementations of it have been developed for Enlightenment a couple times over the lifetime of E17 and onwards. However, none of these are great solutions in today’s modern world of GLES/EGL, Wayland, and embedded devices. Currently, Compiz uses Xlib internally as well as GLX, enforcing a dependency on X11 and the Xserver. Furthermore, given the server-side location of the effect handling, this will not play too nicely with the client-oriented Wayland protocol.

And so it was, armed with this knowledge, that a pair of procrastinating-yet-ambitious Samsung Open Source Group graphics engineers set out to improve the Wayland world with client-side, window, post processing effects. The goal: implement wobbly windows using the client-side decoration region and a lot of elbow grease.

A large percentage of malicious traffic is most likely generated by bots, which are quite naturally better at creating a lot of requests.
That makes no sense, except from an overstepping-legally-and-relying-on-unsophisticated-second-party point of view. How is a forum in any way bound to the game's EULA? As a trivial point, let's say the forum is owned by a company. So EA is going to sue the company for breaking terms in the EULA of its game? How did the company become beholden to those terms in the first place?
It's a joke, but it really works :)

Cool. Anyone have an opinion on "state of the art" for music generation? I realize this is entirely subjective. This one sounds pretty interesting! It'd be awesome to get something like this on a top 10 list and start influencing man made music. We can't be so far off from that. The kids these days love techno and that is easily synthesized relative to music with original lyrics and voices.
