That is what I was thinking. Java EE is was already losing mindshare to Spring.

However I still find this troubling for the future of Java. If they kill EE this casually, why wouldn't they slowly abandon Java altogether . Java EE is the canary in the coal mine.

Not that I would be sad about Java's demise. Many companies see Java as they only real programming language. Maybe if Oracle keeps it up the enterprise will start to consider using other languages.

Sometimes N=9, such as when the address starts 00:50:c2. This block is divided into blocks of 4096 instead of the usual 2^24 so small users can get a block for a few hundred dollars instead of over a thousand.
If you don't understand the problem, I have to assume you have never lived in a multistory walk-up apartment building with breezeway stairwells.

When I did, my wish-list was as follows.

I wish I had...
- a window that faced a different direction.
- more storage space.
- a parking space closer to my pantry, and at the same level.
- better sound insulation between neighbors.
- an unobstructed view of the southern sky.
- more than one possible cable provider.
- the option for DSL.
- a uniquely numbered address.
- a private outdoor space, suitable for gardening.
- another way to get in and out of the complex.

When I moved to a freestanding house in a cookie-cutter suburban subdivision, all of those wishes were fulfilled, but I had new problems.

I wish I had...
- no accessible/visible lawn for the homeowners association to hassle me about.
- a shorter/easier commute.
- locks on my outdoor faucets, because of *that neighbor*.
- any business at all within walking distance.
- some sort of park within walking distance.
- no visible ugly utility boxes.
- lower total housing and utility costs.
- a room that I could use as a home office.

Those are all the problems I think will be solved or reduced by my simplistic solution. Plus, there's the overall problem of cheap, dense housing that might still be accepted by Americans accustomed to typical suburban/periurban freestanding houses.

> Exceptions make it so that nothing unexpected happen.

No, it makes it so that your program surprises the user by crashing, which is (hopefully!) pretty unexpected.

Unless, of course, you use the exceptions to provide some sane default code path that handles the problem, but that's exactly what lodash is doing for you in this example.
"This feels a bit like blaming unsafe working conditions and 12-hour work days at the beginning of the industrial revolution on workers, because they signed the contracts (this was the prevailing narrative from factory owners at the time too)."

That would make more sense if various companies didn't sink $1+ billion into more robust systems and software over the decades that most users & developers intentionally avoided in favor of what was faster, cheaper, supported buzzword/feature X, and/or was known unreliable/insecure. They make the same tradeoffs today. Look at use & tradeoffs of Facebook Messenger vs WhatApp vs Signal vs Threema [1]. Even when cheap/free and easy, vast majority will not make slightest effort for increased security and privacy.

[1] Not endorsing Threema so much as to say it was quite marketable & good example of what should get more adoption if users aren't to blame.

Itanium got posted here recently, too. It had enhanced reliability, stack protection, read/write/execute per page, and memory key isolation if one wanted it. Most server software that was mission critical continued to run on Xeon x86 instead of leveraging improvements in Itanium even when portable source was available for mere re-compile to Itanium. Why? Xeon was cheaper and took no extra effort.

Rinse, repeat for all kinds of software and tooling. There's often supply but little demand that pays. Which sucks extra here given high reliability or security costs more not less for producers. There has to be sustained demand that will pay at least 30-50% premium to develop each component or app. Since there's not, the companies are entirely justified in producing unreliable, insecure or surveillance-oriented garbage for people that exclusively use or buy such things. And the buyers are to blame wherever there were clear alternatives that were inexpensive given their choices collectively decide the issue.

"Perhaps it's time for regulation to solve this dilemma?"

I supported that on Schneier's blog with specific points showing where market consistently fails (even for itself) and how regulation would help:

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2011/09/an_interestin...

Despite low demand, I also actually write a counterpoint justifying continued focus on niche that cares about quality/security with recommendations for "low-cost but high-value" practices to deliver that profitably as a differentiator. What's in this post is an example of how my software liability argument in other one might play out. Regulations would enforce stuff known to knock out problems consistently to form a better baseline without driving up cost or having vague stuff prone to frivilous lawsuits.

Viking Education | Full Stack Instructor + Curriculum Architect | Onsite(SF) or Remote | http://www.vikingcodeschool.com

Viking Code School runs an immersive and 100% online development bootcamp where students only pay tuition when they get a job. We're a mission-driven company with the goal of launching a million high-growth careers around the world while having fun doing so.

Instructors are the heart of everything we do and we are looking for an experienced and opinionated full stack web developer who will lead instruction in the Immersive program and ongoing development of the curriculum. This is not a lecture-based position -- we heavily lean on demos and code review while supporting our pair-programming students when they have questions.

Because we are 100% online, this is a REMOTE OK position which allows for a high degree of lifestyle flexibility while giving you a chance to potentially affect millions of lives with the lessons, demos, projects and posts you create.

Requirements:

* 5+ years team-based development experience, 3+ in Ruby/Rails or JavaScript and relevant frameworks (e.g. AngularJS). Strong CS, testing and data fundamentals.

* Significant experience with writing, sharing and educating (e.g. blogging, delivering conference talks, podcasting, teaching, or committing to OSS). Great communication is prized over specific teaching experience.

* A legitimate passion for education and, preferably, also a quirky weird sense of fun.

Apply with your CV, a description of why you are a good fit, and any relevant links to Github, conference talks, blog posts etc. to careers@vikingcodeschool.com
How to nail the Product Hunt release of your SaaS startup
> If the company is not growing and it's burning more cash than revenue, the company should be valued at (cash in hand + ARR)

Is that really true? Maybe if a company had NO HOPE of growing. Zenefits has clearly shown some huge growth. The market is huge. Just being not profitable and not growing for the short term does not mean you are guaranteed dead... just that you are default dead and need to get working on it, which they seem to be.

Edit - and if truly a company was never going to grow again, I would value them at something like cash on hand + ((total rev - min expenses to stay afloat) * 3) or something... In your example if someone had ARR of 100 million, min expenses to keep doors open of 300 million, and cash on hand of 1 million.. you would value them at 101 million, I would value them at - 599 million.
Screw Amazon, I was a customer for over 10 years, have every single Kindle model, bought dozens of thousands in goods.

Few days ago I got an email that my account was disabled (and i can not login) due to a billing issue. Seems my bank thought one of the purchases was suspicious. I rang but the customer support person on phone was an idiot. I replied to the email offering to sort out any billing issues but all I got was an automated reply.

Screw Amazon, just lost a good longtime customer due to stupidity of employees and whatever genius programmed whatever automated system decided to disable my account.

"Thanks, bye" frees your mind from having to wonder about that position. It's closure. If you don't get feedback, you can still do a bit of post mortem; you may not come to the same conclusion that the hiring org would have, but you will gain some insight into yourself.
We’re looking to hire two full-stack engineers. Ideally, one would be a Javascript/Node.js Engineer and the other would be a Python Engineer.

Today, Underdog.io is a curated marketplace for talent. We connect amazing people with founders, hiring managers, and recruiters at top technology companies.

We’re building technology to reduce the noise of the job search and match. We started Underdog.io because we experienced the pains associated with (1) hiring while working at top startups and (2) looking for new opportunities.

Our platform is currently live in SF, NYC, and for remote companies. We work with over 250 awesome companies. Quality is key to our model -- we turn away one of every two companies that have tried to join the network. We've proudly bootstrapped and profitable.

As we scale, we’ll focus on building tools for candidates to organize, search, and discover new job opportunities. In our view of the future, job candidates don’t receive as much unsolicited outreach from recruiters. Job search is organized and talented candidates have more high-quality options.

We use Python/Flask, Javascript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, AWS. We're also working on a project in Ruby/Sinatra. And we're big supporters of open source.

My tip: try asking for the feedback in person.

If after an interview somebody asks for feedback, I'll generally give it to them. The details are fresh in our heads, I can carefully calibrate my answer to the person's mood, and we can discuss anything that is confusing or upsetting.

Once we've filled the positions, though, it's much harder to give feedback. I've got a number of people I'm turning down, so it'd be a lot of work. Details are fuzzier. And often the real reason is something unsatisfying, like, "this person was marginally better in a few key areas; that added up". (If we've done our pre-screening well, almost everybody we interview is hireable, so often the true advice is something depressingly anodyne, like, "keep trying" or "more experience would have helped".)

But really, if you want feedback, I'd find some way to set up mock interviews with people you trust. There's a lot of feedback I won't give because I don't think the person is ready to hear it. E.g., I once interviewed a person who was a bluffer. They failed the pair programming portion of the interview spectacularly, to the extent that I ended it early. When they asked for feedback, I told them that they should definitely work on their TDD skills. But the honest answer would have been, "Go get a therapist and start working on your personal issues, because you have a pervasive character problem."

That's an extreme case, but hopefully you can see the problem. As John Scalzi says [1], "There are a lot of people who, when they say, 'I’d love feedback,' actually mean 'I want a hug.'" Those people can be very unpleasant when you give them actual feedback.

The real story is that we're all safer than ever[1], but there are huge sums of money being poured into a media structure designed to keep us afraid and tuned in.

Tesla driver's death using car's 'Autopilot' probed by NHTSA
Number of deaths are fairly irrelevant to terrorists. 100 people or 500 don't really make a different to public precipitation which is what they care about.

However, box cutters where the weapon of choice for 9/11 you could make spears on board the aircraft and manually kill everyone except the pilots with a few burley and well trained people. Which is the real problem, defensive safety measures cost a lot and switching targets is really cheap for terrorists.

Oh yeah. Another piece of advice I've often heard is that, if police come to your door asking questions, it's prudent to step outside to speak with them, rather than speaking with them through an open door. If they see something suspicious through your opened door, they can reasonably claim probable cause and force entry.

This may be all BS. But it's advice I've heard more than once.
Spotify made changes to their app that violate the App Store rules they've been playing along with for many many years. Specifically around App Store subscriptions and advertising out-of-app purchase options inside your app.

I'm not defending or denigrating the App Store rules here, but make no mistake - this is a deliberate move on the part of Spotify to cause a controversy.

What's with iMusic in the title? That's not a product, it's not in the linked article, and it's not common shorthand for Apple Music.

This is my point though. The US government claims they have jurisdiction when it suits them. Guccifer is still in the news and fresh on everyone’s mind.

Personally it never made sense to me how one can be subject to some random foreign country’s law by just using the Internet. But if that’s the doctrine it should at least be applied consistently.
