First off. Great tutorial! I wish more frameworks their native documentation would come with more real world examples. Redux's fantastic documentation is a step in the right direction but still makes real world solutions a bit too much of a side note.

Regarding Javascript fatigue, I want to share something that greatly helped me.

I have written enterprise applications for Fortune 500s using PHP, Rails, Backbone, Angular, React, Node, Express, Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, Yeoman, Bower, Redux, jQuery, Coffescript, Prototype.js ( remember them!? ), LESS, SASS... Basically whatever was hot at the moment.

Long I've enjoyed learning new things, but after having made a solid investment in Angular only to find out none of it's SEO solutions were really commercially viable the fatigue hit me hard and I gave up on trying to learn new things for a while. I simply stopped caring.

Then I got approached by SpaceX for a JS full stack position. All they told me about the interview beforehand was that it would be very JS heavy, yet no details on what stack or framework they were working with.

To prep I brushed up hard on my basic JS skills. Codeschool.com their JS road trip was very useful. So were "Eloquent JavaScript" and "JavaScript: The Good Parts".

After making that tough but very rewarding investment, learning React, Flux, Redux, Elm etc. all became a breeze. I no longer have any attachment to any framework. They're all just different ways of using JS to me. And no matter what the future brings, no matter how many frameworks and build tools get thrown our way, I don't think ( hope? ) my heavy investment in Javascript will soon disappoint.

So for those of you out there trying to figure out what to invest in next, React, Elm, RxJS.. My advice would be to get a deep understating of pure Javascript first. Ideally, try to build your very own framework using vanilla JS. Once you do that you'll find each new framework is just a different opinion on how JS should be used.

Many frameworks have come and gone. But after more than a decade of investing in the Javascript language, it keeps rewarding.
Good. With whatever limitations, this is still good. It's not enough, but this is going to be a long LONG fight.

If this actually pans out, it could be incredible. It always saddens me to get a link to a scientific paper and to hit my head on the paywall.

There's of course the "(partially) publicly funded" qualifier, but I don't remember too much privately funded research in the journals that I read as a CS undergrad, so hopefully it won't matter too much.

> So, the chance of them going "out of business" is pretty slim. It's entirely possible that dentists unfortunate enough to have chosen Eaglesoft will get to pay some HIPAA fines, however.

Will they? Since Eaglesoft claimed to provide encryption, and the practices relied on that claim, it seems unlikely that the practices are at fault; if they are subject to civil liability at all for inadvertent violations -- or even if they just have costs to cure the violations without money liability, which seems more likely given the history of HIPAA enforcement -- they would seem to have a claim for at least the total resulting costs in damages against Patterson.

As far as criminal violations of HIPAA goes, it doesn't seem particularly likely that any occurred, and if any did its pretty clear that the practices are (barring any evidence of knowledge that hasn't come to light) unlikely to have had the requisite knowledge or intent to be culpable, though the violations may have been willfully caused by Patterson's actions, which -- even though Patterson might not usually be directly covered by HIPAA as regards what appears to be on-premise software they sell -- might make Patterson a (and possibly the only) chargeable principal in any crime. 18 USC Sec. 2(b): "Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal."

Maybe you're not being listened to because what you're saying flies in the face of all known evidence in an entire discipline called "online marketing", and it also screams "Facebook holdout+privacy nerd rant", which most business owners will politely smile at but know not to take a marketing lecture from.

When I was younger I bought the idea that "you can be happy at work if you work on what you love". Well, few years and three jobs later I now know I hate programming.

Or rather, I still love to code - I just immediately switch to loathing it when the "for money" part gets involved. In time I realized that there is likely no job that would make me happy, and even if I started my own business, I'd probably be overwhelmed by various market-related bullshit. I stopped expecting to be happy at work, and... I got much happier.

(It's either that or SSRIs working.)
I cried at the end of that episode because I hate puns
I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. Although programming isn't my primary job anymore, I still do it occasionally and did so for at least a couple of years acceptably. The main thing I noticed is that the ability to focus on complex logic or chains of events went seriously downhill so I had to do a better job of sketching out my algorithm before I started to code and making lists and diagrams for myself. I could no longer hold it all in my mind. Medication (Sinemet) does help somewhat with the ability to focus. Also finding times each day when you are clear from distractions -- this can be accomplished by setting aside time to deal with the distractions and time when you will not deal with them. I find I can focus for maybe an hour at most now, and then I need a break. This is manageable when you know about it and plan around it. As I've moved to more managerial type tasks, it actually works out ok. If you intend to stick to strict programming, I advocate being as organized as possible. I used to have an excellent memory and it's just not there anymore, but I mostly do just fine because I've learned to be diligent about creating a task for myself for everything I need to do and not relying on myself to remember it. Good luck!
What does this mean in practice? Will the EU force the publishers to make them freely accessible? Will the EU only allow scientists to publish in open journals? Europe indirectly funds a lot of research. This will bleed into the workflow of scientists worldwide.

The funny thing is that Microsoft had a tendency to do the same thing on their own OS.

For example, Office would come out with some new paradigm – draggable toolbars, for example – that didn't exist anywhere else in Windows, and wasn't part of the standard libraries that other developers had access to. They'd use that for a while, and slowly those features would make their way into other Windows apps (first- and third-party), and right when that started to get standardized, Office would do something else – like the ribbon – which, again, didn't exist anywhere else.

In other words, Microsoft had a tendency to eschew standard OS behaviours even on their own OS, and kept pushing the bar by making new UI paradigms as fast as everyone else could try and keep consistency with them.
If someone stops talking to me or befriending because I'm less on facebook or not visiting the site at all, then by all means please I definitely want to lose that "friend".
Yes but I'm hoping that the CRM would do more things on its own. Like remind me about when to contact someone again when it's time for their software license renewal. And I'd like to have this done automatically for me.
> The average developer spends more than 7 hours per week coding on the side.

I don't believe for a second that most developers spend an hour a day on side projects. I'd believe many, but not most. There just isn't that kind of time available for many full-time developers with a family and responsibilities outside of coding.

I know I spend quite a bit of time coding for fun, but I know many people who do "not so cool" development at their day job who want nothing to do with code in the evenings.
I'm shocked to read this post by Cyrille Rossant, a respected member of the Python community. He and his wife have had their baby taken away by the French government (most unjustly and cruelly as far as I can tell). Anyone out there who can help reunite him and his wife with their baby?

He said it when he was on a Town Hall with Hannity on Fox:

His language was pretty measured. He didn't say he would be prosecute her, but used the phrase, "We'd have to look into it."
If you're hoping to see user rage on such a massive scale that true patent reform was pushed through, I think you would be disappointed.

Most users would probably blame Apple for being so careless with how they implemented their feature set... and then they would install Google Duo[1]

This is what music written by AI sounds like
Part of Nine Inch Nails success as an artist has been from the great diversity and support of remixers both on his released albums and through fan sites[1]. He was a pioneer in the remix world as one of the first to release full, multi-track sources for a lot of his tracks and just let it go...to much success.

This sounds like another example of the music industry shooting itself in the foot thanks to the suits. Imitation (and covers) are the sincerest form of flattery in art.

I am a big burly guy with a beard - and I get overwhelmed and cry regularly. Not even from sadness, just from general emotion.

For example last night I watched the trailer for Overwatch[1] and got so excited I started tearing up. I don't know why, anything that triggers ANY sort of strong emotion in me brings it on. Always has.

My wife makes fun of me for it. I don't see anything wrong with it.

That is a confusing headline!
s/hard/boring/, and I think plenty of people left over that. Also, I left a job once because the problems I was solving were too hard and frustrating for me - that is, I was given CTO's paper on some math stuff and told to "code it", without having any explanations to what's that for and how it will be used. I guess I wasn't in the mood then for forced intellectual challenge of understanding the basics of the math field this paper was in.

For me, I never get angry about programming problems. But I do get frustrated over e.g. the whole idea of the project I'm working on, or some design decisions made in it.
Correct, this does not impact AdWords (save for publishers who are displaying AdWords results in AdSense modules, but that's a trivial amount of money). It does hit DoubleClick/AdSense/Google Display Network. It also hits the massive display advertising industry (most of which partner with Google for distribution). Billions of dollars are spent on display ad targeting through DMP audience segments. Facebook would instantly be the highest quality DMP on the market.

That's the approach I take. I tell them that I will think of their equity like a bonus, and I will be happy to work hard in anticipation of getting something from it, but probably will not trade real dollars in return.
They defendant always says the patent is overly broad.

The patent attorney specifically MADE the patent broad. Thats the only way it gets any value anyway.

Fun fact:

Many financial institutions use the last 4 of your SSN as identity verification.

If you're a business, it's the last 4 of your FEI/EIN.

I know at least in FL, this is publicily available at sunbiz.org

So with the account number printed at the bottom of your paycheck/stub and the FEI/EIN, you can often authenticate to a financial institution and obtain privileged information.

I know this not because I was on the "hacker" side, but because I was involved on the financial institution side of it and caught this as part of my engagement. The institution was issuing new logins for its internet banking site and the password would have been based on the users name, zip code, and SSN/FEI/EIN, all 3 of which are available (in FL) on that sunbiz.org site.
> > The average developer spends more than 7 hours per week coding on the side.

> I don't believe for a second that most developers spend an hour a day on side projects.

"Average" here quite likely means arithmetic mean, not median, and the distribution of side-coding-time among developers is probably not normal, so its quite possible for the average to be more than 7 hours and most to do significantly less than that.
Serious question: what else happens around that time? How long does it take you to "recover" from a crying episode? Are you unable to perform other tasks during an episode? Etc.

I'm genuinely curious because I've had some frustrating experiences with crying in the workplace / around work that seemed a bit unfair to me (at the time I was a young'n who still assumed "fairness" was a thing). Someone would cry at work and they'd be coddled, yet if someone else raised their voice and showed "anger" they'd be in trouble. Seemed a little silly to me.

This is a welcomed change as it prevents unrelated sites from making XHRs to unrelated sites (already mitigated by browser restrictions with allow credentials and very loose Access-Control-Allow-Origin server headers) but I'd like to point out that if someone stole your cookies via a XSS request they could free themselves of browser restrictions by making requests by not using a browser.

This is particularly a problem for sites that have XSS vulnerabilities and don't use the http only property for sensitive cookies and non-https sites on open wifi networks. Sites should use a combination of secure (cookies transmitted over https only) and http only (JS can't access the cookie) cookies and redirect all http traffic to https. Ad networks need to get better at helping sites monetize on https only traffic, it's a huge barrier for many sites making the switch and helping the internet finally relegating plain text http traffic to the history books.

"It isn't like you go to work for the startup and when it implodes you are left with nothing and no options -- far from it, you likely made a good salary while you worked there"

Aren't startups notorious for paying crappy, below market wages?

"Being that employees ARE investors (their time), they should do their due diligence, too. A company not being transparent about whatever information you need to make a good investment decision should be a reason not to work there ie as a prospective employee you should evaluate how the company shares information with its employees."

Maybe. But given that they are required to give that information to investors who invest with money, why shouldn't they be required to give that information to investors who invest with time and effort?
Facebook is a 'free'[1] community and every community has some form of leader. Sometimes those with direction are dictators (sometimes), as in they dictate orders so that others can follow the direction. Facebook is very successful and I don't see how this leadership style is failing them, yet.

"Imagine a world where Apple shareholders who've had it with Tim Cook and lose a proxy fight to unseat him set up a new company called Dapple with new top management. By right, Dapple starts off with those shareholders' aliquot share of Apple's legendary cash hoard – plus the right to their aliquot share in the profits from every Apple product on sale at the time of the split. Imagine the possibilities, and the perils."
If trump wanted to help win over the science crowd, he could make this an issue. Seems more likely to come from Bernie though.
I think this article is unreasonably lumping together the concept of covers and remixes. Cover songs are covered by compulsory licenses in the U.S.A. These are very 'mechanical' and you can in fact obtain them for virtually any recorded song at a fixed rate. It is possible that companies like Soundcloud may be streamlining the process or helping the publishing rights holders but there is not much preventing covers from being created.

The situation for remixes is much different. Remixes inherently involve the use of a PERFORMANCE, not a composition. Licensing is as you mention in the article very difficult and is up the discretion of the rights holder. If there are platforms that want to reduce friction here I think that is great, but the artist should still have discretion in how their performances are used.
I find it frustrating that systemd's socket activation API is via library calls and not a protocol. This makes it necessary for separate support in programs to support systemd rather than having a generic mechanism that all init systems might use.

I want to clarify, securing a system from this caliber of attack is fairly trivial:

* replace/reformat hardrive

* replace RAM sticks for good measure, as I have them already.

* config firewall

* put on standard windows security settings, remove remote access to computer, ect. lock it down.

* shes a grandmother. so essentially, just put a fuckton of addons on chrome and delete/hide other browsers. highest chrome security settings, httpseverywhere, adblock plus(not putting uBlock on, consider target user), ghostery, ect.

* explain some high level steps to her about protecting herself, all popups are scams ect

* if possible block incoming calls from 800, 900, international, and business numbers. Possible, but could impact her UX of life.

* tell her to call me if she has questions first before doing anything.

HOWEVER. A confirmation of malware would mean that the attack vector changes significantly. If a confirmation they actually actively did data harvesting or otherwise intend to go after her and her son's IDs or financials. I would escalate. I have already:

* changed all card numbers, the router and ISPs passwords,

* placed notes of breach in all accounts, ect.

* confirmed no suspiscious activity on investments and also secured them to the best I could via that companies policy without needing a 3day verified letter to execute a transfer or change in postion of the portfolio.

* replaced debit cards

* reset investments login.

[ I am aware that allowing her to use the likely compromised hard drive is a risk. but, I believe that between the security measures I have taken and the holiday weekend, I have some time to consider how I fix the issue technically ]

But if I actually found proof of maliscious code, it wouldn't be likely they were going to continue scamming: it would be a near certainty.

if the attack vector becomes securing any hole in America's horrible financial system, I would have to also set up account/credit monitoring, consider a credit freeze and take further measures. These are things I would possibly do to some extent for myself if this was my own system/life.

however I am a technical user with a background in finance and tech, and I worked at a fintech startup where we were trying to sell to banks. So i am not an expert, but have MUCH more knowledge about the industry than the victim here. So I am doing cost/ben on how much I need to do here (also of my own time to some extent) to secure everything while still allowing her not to need to do 2 factor authentication and call her bank everytime she needs to buy groceries. She is 80, so for her demographic she is highly technical. Compared to even a 65 year old, she is certainly not and does not have the technical or peripheral knowledge to execute/do tasks we would consider basic:

* make a change from win 7 - win 10

* use a password manager not already set up in chrome

* understand seperation of technological concerns. for example, she didn't want to change to win 10 because her passwords are prefilled for her in Google Chrome, and the new operating system would require her to not have them. I am aware of how chrome accounts work, this is an example.
