One problem I've run into is that the Javascript state isn't reset when Turbolinks pretend-reloads the page. This can lead to "interesting" bugs if setInterval() calls or websocket-rails response handlers hang around when you navigate away from the page that they "expect" to be run on.

Attempting to reproduce these errors by refreshing the current page and repeating whatever you just did will not work, since the Javascript state will be wiped clean - you'll need to navigate through the same path that you took to get to that page in the first place. (This happened to me recently; as you may imagine, it took me a while to figure out what was going on!)

It's possible to work around this by "cleaning up" whenever a Turbolinks change event fires, of course, but the point is that you can't just add Turbolinks to your project and expect everything to work as it did before.
ASML Netherlands/Brion Technologies | C++/Java/Python Software Engineer | Eindhoven, Netherlands | ONSITE (ASML offers relocation assistance) | Full-time

ASML Netherlands is the leading provider of optical lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. Brion technologies is a subsidiary of ASML Netherlands, and develops simulation and modeling software for lithography production and metrology applications.

We are looking for a software developer who loves designing and writing C++, Python and Java software modules using a hybrid Linux/Unix and Windows environment, solving challenging problems for lithographic simulation and application software in a small, collaborative and fast moving team.

Job Mission: Deliver high quality modular software components (in C++, Python and Java) to improve and integrate Brion products with ASML machine specific knowledge and systems.

Job Description: All-round software engineer, capable of designing and delivering high quality, well tested software working in a distributed (Eindhoven/US) based team-setting.

Education: BS or MS in Computer Science.

Experience:

- Relevant C++ software development experience (3-5 years).

- Experience using Unix as a development environment (3-5 years).

Since we operate as a small and dynamic team of people who all share a passion for our work, we are looking for someone like-minded, who doesn't expect a hierarchical, top-down approach and is not afraid of challenging him/herself or other team members. Experience is obviously a pre, but we think someone who likes to learn and improve will fit in better than someone who's used to doing things the same way for a long time.

If you are interested or have further questions, send our team an email at: dl-brion-vhv@asml.com
Then why drop jQuery? "It needn't be part of the default stack any more" doesn't hold up as a reason any more because it's not about whether something's needed or not but whether it's useful.

Most sites require jQuery, most developers are happy using it, why put the effort into getting rid of it?
Serious answer: a good CS program does not waste time teaching a particular use of a particular technology that may or may not be in use by the time the student has graduated. Instead, it ensures that the student has the base knowledge and research technique to learn that technology in a weekend when/if he needs it.

"Regardless of your neurological makeup"

This is where you go off the rails. Neurology makes a huge difference in the effect of many drugs, and there has been a tremendous amount of research backing that up. Just because you personally can't believe it doesn't mean it's not true.
Ask the customer, "you want the shortest route, right?" and wait for yes. Now you have explicit permission to drive anything that's arguably the shortest route. So you pick one that passes the largest number of traffic lights and watch the meter tick as you wait in front of each traffic light.

Padding by 300% is a challenge, but a bit isn't.
He is known in the jailbreak scene as someone who cannot stay serious - he's always involved in some kind of drama.

If I recall correctly, the pangu dev team attended some of his sessions about iOS hacking and used this knowledge to create a publicly available jailbreak tool. He then started to rant about how they "stole" his technologies on twitter (see for example https://twitter.com/i0n1c/status/481020166483238912).

More about his childish public behavior related to the jailbreak scene can be read here: http://www.iclarified.com/41983/pangu-jailbreak-stops-using-...
This can be an interesting thing to be aware of and play with. Taking his example of pain - if you know that your reported perception of pain will be down to your own judgment and where it sits within your narrative, you can start to play with the narrative, lie to yourself, alter your response.

A simple example is in physicality. Suppose you're rowing a 2km race. You break it into eight 250m chunks in your head, because a 250m sprint is am easy thing, and aa long as you knowingly don't know that there's more pain coming, you treat each sprint entirely independently, and squeeze that much more out of yourself.

A slightly more complex example is in flat-out rewriting, where you consciously choose to either interpret or reinterpret an event in a light you convince yourself to be true. Years later all you remember is your new truth.

I mean, people do the latter inadvertently and crappily all the time, as he describes. Why not do it deliberately? I quite like being in charge of my narrative, even if I cheat with tippex and autoindoctrination.

Sure, you end up forgetting which reality is really real, but again, it doesn't really matter - narrative reality is entirely subjective anyway.
Dose Direct, medicine alert startup, is looking for beta testers
Medicine management is hardly a novel idea: 80% of medicine takers have reported occasionally missing doses, which can have great consequences (ranging from increase in finance problems to more dire problems).

However, despite what the app stores have to offer to address this problem, users are still facing multitude of confusions. Medicine management apps that are too difficult to use, schedule that takes ages to set up, confusion over which exact medicine they are supposed to take next.

Dose Direct was created to address such cases. Aiming to release this summer, we are looking for beta testers (or simply anyone of interest) to try out our product and provide feedback for the development team.

You can register for beta at http://dosedirect.ominext.co/

Thank you :)
King Tut's dagger was made with metal from a meteorite
You could probably replace 90% of YouTube comments with a simple trigram-based chat bot and no one would notice. But that's hardly a good measure of AI quality.

Although, your comment illustrates the main problem with the Turing Test. It depends on too many factors and assumptions that have nothing to do with the AI itself.

A good AGI test should be constructed in such a way that any normal person passes it with 100% certainty and no trivial system can pass it at all.
I've turned most of these off. The weather is useful as is commute information, but site updates and things Google think I might like based on my searches are generally poor. There was a recent reminder not to forget to vote and occasional "are you interested in such-and-such an popular event" cards, but these never seem to have an option to prevent recurrences.

Parking information would be useful if it were both accurate (it isn't, due to taking a park and ride bus) and consistent. Like many Google Now cards it seems difficult to predict whether it will turn up or not.

Another trick it used to do was show me cards with navigation information to somewhere I'd searched for, usually the night before a trip. But, when I got into my car at 6am the next day such information was nowhere to be seen and I'd have to search for it again. Now I save the location in the calendar so at least there's a link to click, causing Google Now to remind me to leave on time after I've already left, sometimes when I'm nearly there.

Overall, it's not a useful product and relies upon data being collected which I'd rather wasn't. The only reason I leave it on is so that I can dictate reminders to my watch, which I find a very useful feature. The requirement to use Google Now for this last feature seems rather arbitrary to me.
That was my initial thought. The linked slideshow in a sibling comment "cleverly" defines "millennials"[m] as born 1980-1995 (with a 2 year overlap of how it defines "GenX") and "GenZ"[z] as born 1996-2010. I guess that makes 2010-2025 the singularity generation (can be conveniently adapted to mean "those that grew up with the singularity", "those that were adults when the singularity happened" and "the first that lived to see the singularity").

As a side note, I think "GenZ" is also the generation that has grown up with zombies being a mainstream, core mythology. So perhaps it's an appropriate name.

What happens when you point out missing docs for HapiJS
It would be interesting to hear a bit more background for this forking. What does Nextcloud try to achieve that was not possible within the ownCloud project? Was this a clash of personalities as one of the ownCloud founders is among those jumping the ship?
I read the WSJ article you linked to. Undoubtedly she made some very bad calls during the Internet bubble - as did most analysts - that's why it's a 'bubble.' However, we shouldn't permanently marginalize/attack somebody for mistakes they made in their career 15 years ago. This slide deck IMHO is amazing, and surely mostly compiled by researchers/interns, not Ms. Meeker.

I agree with lmm. The only thing where Kotlin wins is in marketing and hype.
By having an open system, since there is no longer a corporate middleman entity which takes a cut off a profit, and since anyone can compete, therefore prices will get pushed down. But just like any other perfectly-competitive system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition), the price in equilibrium will approach the marginal cost when marginal cost equals marginal revenue, not get pushed down indefinitely. I guess that would approximately equal to the market price of uneducated labor willing to drive plus the cost of the car+gas usage, insurance, etc. So price won't drop lower than what is needed to get people to actually drive the cars.

Now of course, maybe also need to be concerned about autonomous cars using this p2p app, in which case just need to pay a slave robot with the minimal energy it requires to drive.

Thanks for your comment.

- The software architecture is inspired by GRBL. The split of motion blocks into segments is more manageable for the software, and if you choose a segments size small enough, the acceleration will be very smooth.

- I do not try to approximate constant acceleration.

- The GUI is a way for me to test the Gcode and stepper algorithms (the code is the same in the GUI and in the embedded controller).

Please also comment directly on the post.
"“I’d say the cost is greater than the benefit for your average driver,” - Isn't that the point of this scheme, that they target non-average drivers, ie those with low credit scores that would be unable to drive otherwise.

With regards to the figures at the end of the article. If Uber pays for insurance and repairs, it seems not a too prohibitive deal. If not the interest rates are well above 20%. Seems pretty sweet (for Uber).

But then again, a market rate of 20% for those without credit score isn't much worse that a credit card rate. And the LA-example comes through well above minimum wage.
Applied Game Theory or How to pay a dividend without paying a dividend
I don't oppose it, but this research will get skewed results. Because it's only in a small part of the state.

It would be like those people suddenly got a raise, which doesn't usually lead to landlords increasing rent for newly-freed properties and prices going up because they know everyone gets more money now.

BI applied country/state-wide, I'm pretty sure the results would be different.
well okta raised way too much money for SF to buy them. The other two are much more likely.
No it's called priming a two sided market. Do you think supply and demand grow in harmonious lockstep?

Author of the post here: I know no researcher in the life sciences who's using the university search systems. Instead people are mostly using Pubmed or Google Scholar.

But that doesn't solve the access: Finding the PDF you want on the publishers website can be a huge pain. So people just paste the DOI/Pubmed-ID etc. into Sci-Hub to get right to the PDF.

Hope that makes some sense :-)
Like delta RPMs [0]? Software updates are distributed as diffs and applied to the existing package, so only the differences in the new packages need to be sent each time. This is computationally ineffficient (calculating and applying the delta RPM) but bandwidth efficient (smaller transfers).

It depends on what you mean by efficient.

In terms of software startups that is definitely true and easy to do because NYC has several orders of magnitude more people than Boston. Boston owns the healthcare and biotech startup sector though - it's basically SV East for those industries.
Arbor Networks | https://www.arbornetworks.com/ | Delft, Netherlands | ONSITE, full-time

Arbor does DDoS and Advanced Threat Protection.

We've got two job openings with the Arbor Delft team. The team is small so these job descriptions describe where your main focus will be, but you will be expected to pick up tasks "from the other side" now and then.

Experience with Linux and the command line is preferred.

Also, the main language in the office is Dutch and you will be expected to learn it if you do not already know it. Initially you can get by with English.

For both jobs you'll have an interview with two developers where we'll talk with you about past projects, technologies, programming languages, your interests, etc. Then there will be a second interview with the local manager which fill focus more on the 'soft' side of things, perhaps even salary.

If you make it through those two interviews you'll have a short (hour long), on-site coding exercise just to see how you go about solving a problem. It's a relatively simple exercise, you can ask questions, look stuff up on-line and it doesn't have to be finished. It's to give us a global impression on how you handle things.

1. Software Developer – UI / Javascript Applications

The main focus is the front-end. UX experience very welcome although you will be mainly implementing (at least initially) instead of designing. Experience with one or more of the following technologies: Rails & Ruby, AngularJS, React, JavaScript.

2. Software Developer - Back-end and middle-ware C/C++ and Python

The main focus of your job will be the everything except the front-end. Experience with one or more of the following technologies: C/C++, Python. Experience with one or more of the following will make you more interesting to us: INTERCAL, Ruby, Scala, shell scripts.

If you're interested contact gertjan.schoenmaker@arbor.net
The problem at the time was that they had used his bug that he gave away only for training purposes to the people attending his class.

After the first release, pangu replaced his bug by one of theirs (and both bugs were fixed by apple in a subsequent iOS release.) He probably had to spend some time finding a new bug to use in his classes so it's understandable to be pissed.

This sounds to me like the usual and continuous splits inside OSS communities, but Jesus, I do miss the days when you had a detailed explanation as soon as somebody leaked the IRC logs!
I guess up to a point that's also the case, but it's harder to quantify when they found out about it. And sure, it's used basically world-wide by now, but there are still inter-country differences that aren't only explained by the time people learned about sci-hub :-)
Hmm, sounds like a great idea, except that they should do this with cheaper, used cars. if you have bad credit, you shouldn't be buying a brand new car.
You missed my point entirely. My point is that showing something is a universal function approximator indicates nothing about whether that method is a good method in general. Necessary but not sufficient. kNN is one of the dumbest/simplest methods out there.
The artists are prioritizing their careers first, can't afford great lawyers when they're fresh (so they don't actually know how horrible the contracts are!), and everybody keeps telling them it is harder to succeed alone.

How can't you understand the effects of that? Are laws against lies in advertisement also paternalistic?

And why in the first place do you even believe that piracy is a problem that can be solved legally? Why do you believe it even should be solved using the law? Why should the mere request of the media companies be sufficient to put people in jail!?

You might want to have a look at zsync (http://zsync.moria.org.uk/), which is exactly a reversed rsync: the seed server calculates a signatures file over a file, the clients download that signatures file (through any means, but usually HTTP) and calculate a diff on their side; once they have instructions they can download only the parts of what they need through HTTP Ranges. Which means that any dumb HTTP storage that respects Ranges will work.

The big advantage over rsync, on top of being available over HTTP, is that the server only calculates the signatures file once for the life of the content, instead of calculating it for each and every client.

I know some distributions use that, but it's not very well known... yet ?

UB and memory safety are a big issue exactly because they are not a problem in day to day work.

I literally can't remember the last time I had spent any significant time investigating one of these issues. In my experience when that a crash happen (usually in a unit test or the first time you start the app) because of these issues, the backtrace points you to the exact problem.

The pain start when the program and tests work correctly for all reasonable inputs and the underlying issue never manifests in during normal execution and can be potentially exploited by a malicious attacker with a carefully crafted input.

What I'm trying to say is that I don't want memory safety because it would improve my daily programming experience (in fact possibly the reverse would be true), but I want it because I want security.
I don't follow....

rsnapshot does give you entire folders of the state of the source at time of backup. It makes efficient use of space by using hardlinks for identical files, so only the delta takes up more space.
