Probably a result of his parents pushing him to be a badge of honour for them. Ironic, isn't it.

My android pay works pretty seamlessly; it's slightly easier than my chip card. Except it only works at a couple of stores, so I never even think about using it.

Couldn't agree more, honestly. However, I had to acknowledge that the parent had a point in that they were theoretically comparable.
There are standards (MISRA C) which are supposed to stop things like that happening. Perhaps they weren't being followed?

There are other safe languages they could have used which have a longer track record than Rust, e.g. Ada. It's used in avionics. Why shouldn't it being used here?
Magicians, schmagicians. I say that as part of (possibly) that group. We've just learned to "cover our father's nakedness" so to speak.

I just hope Rust practitioners can do a few things where they have to use 'C' ( properly ), much as I think assembly is a good thing for 'C' programmers to do.

I hope the relationship between 'C' and Rust is collegial - ideally, it would approach being the same people over time because legacy code. Nothing divides like language, and flexibility is a great way to harden your skillset.
> Just get proof of intent to exit/entry, and documentation that you can support yourself for the extent of the trip, and you can go anywhere no matter what your nationality (almost).

Some of the rich-country governments, when granting tourist visas to people from poor countries, also look for proof that the visitor has a strong reason to return to their country, which can include things like owning property there, having a family there, or having a hard-to-transfer professional license like a law license. People from poor countries who don't have these things often can't get tourist visas at all, even if they can prove they can support themselves for the duration of their visits, because the consular officers often assume intent to overstay the visa.

For example, I've heard this about Brazilians trying to get tourist visas for the U.S.: the main question is not so much "can you pay for this trip?" as "why will you come back to Brazil afterward?".

Edit: And I don't think the consular agents in these situations are satisfied by someone's having a round-trip ticket (that "proof of intent to exit").
Interestingly enough, games like LoL have communities with heavy influence historically from Blizzard's own Battle.net, as it descends from DotA on Warcraft 3, a UMS cloning other similar UMS maps on wc3/Starcraft.
Not really on topic, but is it possible to acquire a 'defensive' patent? Maybe by placing a patent into public domain or otherwise promise through some legal means not to pursue legal action against anyone who would like to use the patent?
Thank you! please share, many startup teams will benefit reading this basics.
I vaguely remember (please, someone, correct me if I am wrong) an article by Parker explaining the whole affair - my impression was the truth(tm) was someone in the middle. Or it was just very good damage control by Parker...

For modems, for some models (not Verizon or anything to be sold in China, apparently). A lot less exciting than the headline sounded at first.

Still interesting, but not as much as Intel fabbing the A10 would have been.
Can't we make it better? Can't we write an IRC protocol upgrade, server, and client that does the same thing that Slack beats IRC with?

Namely, archived chats and in-chat images.
That's fine, but you have 3 years of experience with a CMS. SQL is the Structured Query Language used to make queries, so if you're not writing that, then you aren't working with SQL.

I've been driving cars for twenty years, but it doesn't mean I have two decades of experience with fuel injectors.

Reviews and speaking with someone who attended is huge, and I agree. My cousin went to a different campus than I did General Assembly NYC and had a much different experience. Ryan Dahl, used to hang around at NYC and even did a talk on using Node.

It really is exactly what you said. Speak with teachers, former & current students and read reviews.

How was your exp. btw?
"In both cases, Times Square and Lincoln Center, the communities that were utilizing the space prior to redevelopment / improvement were simply displaced."

In the case of Times Square, the "communities" that were "utilizing" the space before were three-card-monte scammers, porn theaters, and drug dealers. Not all change is bad.
And to add to all the above,since your conversation with friend number one, your job is already 1/3 done.
> A lot of times a job spec contains a minimum of 10-15 skill you need to know. And that's just the modest one.

Most job listings I've seen don't really have that many hard requirements. They may mention technologies you'll be working with or things they'd like to see, but that shouldn't stop you from applying if you don't know them all.

Take this with a grain of salt because I've never done resume filtering, but when I interview someone, I look at their resume and ask them about the things on it that I also know. (And I'll decline the interview if there's no overlap.) So for my stage in the process, the optimal strategy is to put the things you're best at on your resume, even if they're not listed on the job description. You get to pick what we talk about. For the most part I'll assume that if you've mastered those things, you can master the things we're looking for too.

(Subject to some constraints: if there are four interviews, they shouldn't all be about the same things. So each interviewer might be assigned a broad area to discuss or have to write down their questions/area before the next interview starts so the next interviewer can pick something else.)

> "never mind 5 years of claimed SQL experience at a big company" - you can easily have that without touching JOIN.

I look for a core concept or two for each area/technology and ask about that:

* For SQL, that definitely means join. If you don't know how to join two relations, you should learn or take SQL off your resume.

* Likewise, for C/C++ I want to know that you understand memory safety. Who owns memory across an API boundary.

* For algorithms / data structures (a likely main topic if you're a recent CS grad), that for a simple problem you can use the best basic data structure (array / list / heap / balanced tree / hash table) and tell me the time and memory complexity in Big-Oh notation.

> Most jobs are just 'stuck in a loop' ones. Where you inherit legacy stuff and you're not allowed to change anything.

That's not the sort of job I do or interview people for. I have no idea what interviews for that kind of job are like. But if you're not doing sophisticated SQL or algorithms, surely you're doing something with your time? What is it? Can you emphasize it and sell it?

> The crap you can get into and stuck in it when working with legacy stuff is crazy. And you can end up working with something for years without having the liberty to experience and grow.

That's not a problem with interviews; it's a feature. Why should someone want to hire you if you haven't been growing? Or if they do, why should they want to pay you as if you were actually gaining experience for those years?

I'd be looking for a better job the whole time.
Did Thiel corrupt the justice system? Did he tip the balance the wrong way? Would it have been "right" for Hulk Hogan to have to take on the significantly more wealthy Gawker all by himself?

In the end though, I feel that this really has very little to do with the justice system. It was only a vehicle Thiel used, he didn't need the justice system to ruin Gawker.
A sort of Proxy Turing Test would be that a computer could write a character with a convincing inner dialogue.

If a machine author can produce a simulacrum of consciousness by good characterisation then that seems like a partial theory of mind.
If justice is blind, why should funding matter? In other words, to limit the means of funding would be to admit that your bank balance affects the outcome when the whole point of the judicial system is to achieve fairness.

> AFAIK these people don't commit the crimes (the FBI doesn't want the violent acts to actually occur), they just are involved in planning them.

In some cases they attempt to explode what they think are real bombs.

I've read that conspiracy charges do not always require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, unless it's a government agent who suggests it. In those cases an overt act in furtherance is always required.

The cases I recall involved fake-bombs that the suspect tried to detonate. [1] Some other responses down thread include much more dubious actions by the co-conspirators which shines a much more concerning light on this FBI practice.

I still use 'C'. I do this primarily because the legacy code base is staggeringly large. I'd jump on a gig doing Rust in a heartbeat, all other factors to the good.
I think you missed the point of the post which is not what it'd cost to build Instagram, but to build a MVP camera/album + backend, similar to the basic functionality that Instagram offers, without the level of polish.

As for the $50 rate, it kind of depends. $50 an hour, at a 40 hour workweek year round puts you at roughly $100k a year, pretty reasonable salary I think at an experience level between jr and sr. And in a startup you can even do a bit of equity financing and pay a lower salary, in terms of pure cashflow $50 could even be on the high end in highly bootstrapped startups. But that's if you employ someone.

If you outsource it to a decent dev team, then no way, you always pay a substantial multiple. For example I recall at my job as a student doing administrative work at a big corp, I had a $15 an hour wage and billed the client $120 an hour, no joke. My boss had a $50 an hour salary and billed $400. $150 and up per hour is pretty typical afaik.

I'm still confused what this service does. `surge -p build` and `npm install --save-dev surge` is simpler for a newbie than getting sftp credentials to a shared host? My designer friends can drag and drop, but certainly stay away from the console.
I agree it's useless to talk about this in absolutes.

But personally, I find composing separate tools helps me learn and debug because things are compartmentalized.

I was messing with a tool (where the equivalent tool at other places I've worked was 5 or 6 separate command line tools) where the command line help is 1,441 lines long. I dread having to look through it and still don't really understand most how to use it.

Whatever the current level of integration within the EU, it is far from being anything like a federal state, so isn't a valid comparison. The closest equivalent you'd get is US to Canada.
I have found it unnecessarily distracting to evaluate reputable databases on incidental features. If an important feature is missing it will be added eventually, if you need a very specific feature then you already have your answer as to which DB to use. Unless you have a very specific reason not to use PostgreSQL as your SQL database then you should just use it.

I simplify the selection to the more general architectural value. Do I need SQL, NoSQL, or graph? What about deep JSON queries, embeddability, specific performance requirements, scalability?

Given that, I use PostgreSQL as the default choice for SQL/JSON db in all cases that don't require imbedding. SQLite for imbedding.

There is one big disadvantage, the same for all fixed schema index based databases. Scalability. Engineering effort rapidly goes to infinity as we asymptotically approach the throughput event horizon.
There's a few films that deal with vaguely similar themes:

Rogue Trader: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0131566/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_54

Cheaters: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218094/

Shattered Glass: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0323944/?ref_=nv_sr_1

These are just 3 off the top of my head. There are probably other better films.
You can do both of those things anonymously. The problem is that, in Riot's case, employees are required to use their Riot username when they play, and IIRC the game clearly identifies them as Riot employees. Furthermore, the problem employees in question tried to influence their teammates by pulling rank on them or intimidating them using their employee status. That, I suspect, is the main reason they got in trouble.
Given Ada's history in safety critical systems (avionics), it's actually somewhat surprising more didn't use Ada. They could have just adopted the military standard (which is fairly stringent, as I understand it). The military is pretty adverse to losing billion dollar pieces of equipment, so they probably take quite a few precautions.

This gives some additional credence to the rumors that Apple has been working with Intel to create an SOC with the modem built in. It would be a big step for Apple and opens up some additional board space on what is arguably one of the most complicated PCBs for a consumer product (if you have a dead iPhone laying around its amazing to have a look at the PCB).

I think you've got it backwards. Adobe supported running CS6 on various platforms. The platforms weren't (and aren't) the ones doing the support.

At this point, no one supports CS6. The fact that you can use it on some particular desktop platform is partially a consequence of their past support, and partially because the platform hasn't "shifted out from under" the application yet.
That's arguably a kludgy workaround for a package mangers (arguably incorrectly) starting services before you have configured them; wouldn't it be preferable to fix that problem instead?
If we took a wider interpretation of maintenance as a crime would it imply that we should forbid lawyers from taking on cases on a contingency basis? Or does the representation automatically factor in there interest in the merits? (they certainly care, they don't get paid if they fail).

And Thiel certainly has an issue with Gawker, having been victimized in exactly the same way (revealing of otherwise personal information unrelated to the nature of their business or other public persona), so can he show connection with the merits as another victim?
As a C magician, rust provides too many clear improvements over C to ignore it. I certainly don't feel like I am 'throwing everything away and starting from zero,' as much of my C (and other language) knowledge transfers over to rust.

I'm not a C++ guru, but I think modern C++ is powerful enough that it doesn't feel lacking in features compared to rust, like C does. There is less of a draw for seasoned C++ programmers.

Rust seems to be gaining a lot of momentum and I am becoming more and more confident that it will be regarded as a major language for embedded and general systems programming and possibly even a successor to C.
There are still plenty of crates that say "you need to be using nightly!".

That put me off starting to develop something in Rust right now, unfortunately, because I'm a huge fan of the way Rust was developed and its core ideals.
That's fucked up. But it's the same problem everywhere in the US - not just media. Looks like the whole system need an overhaul.

I really wonder what JLaw's interpretation of Holmes's baritone voice would sound like.
That's a disclaimer of liability, not an NDA. It says "you can't sue us", not "you can't talk about it".

At least film/tv sci-fi, which has to constantly find excuses for the characters to explain the differences between the actual present and its future. Print science fiction doesn't have to put that kind of exposition between quotation marks.

>Well, MSVC still hasn't even fully implemented C99

Neither does GCC. Both don't fully implement C11 either.

Most these features are either things C-Compilers don't need to support themselves. Namely: special integer types can be placed in libraries instead of compilers.

Also bounds checking interfaces are a performance loss and not included in C compilers despite them being part of the C11 standard. (Well they're optional)

> Its length determines to how much force any force impacting the part outside the device is translated to, at the end of the lever; inside the device.

> Thus, they're less likely to wreck your phone, and more likely to wreck themselves

It's not about the force, since that goes both ways (because Newton's third law). It's about how deep damage may happen or how sooner will a jack give in before the socket does. 3.5mm plugs usually have more strength than lightning plugs (but not more than the USB-C plugs I've seen), so it is understandable if lightning plugs destroy themselves before dealing much damage to the socket.

But a shorter lever (of considerable strength to not break first) will apply the same amount of force over a smaller area than a longer lever. Less area => more pressure => more damage to socket.

This is exactly why I can (and have done so for the last three years, same phone) pick my phone up with the earphones, but not with the end of its microUSB cable: the shorter socket cannot handle the weight of the phone.
For app development, the hard part has already been done through well-written lib, and the developers mainly write some trivial business logic to put these components together.
At least in my schooling, Upton Sinclair was held up as the very model of a muckraker, and he was certainly anything but (2) above. Perhaps sensationalist on occasion, but strongly principled.
