DocSpot | Sunnyvale, CA | full-time | ONSITE

We're looking for an entry-level full-stack developer to redesign our site (working with PHP, HTML/CSS, Javascript, and SQL). We do not require a college degree and we also do not require previous professional experience. See the relevant link at http://www.docspot.com/jobs

We simplify the search for doctors. Our mission is to help people make better decisions, in part by bringing transparency to the healthcare industry. We've gotten beyond ramen-profitability and we're looking to expand the team.

Once candidates have submitted a complete application, we typically let them know within one week whether we would like to meet in person. Typically, there are at most two rounds of interviews, including some basic coding questions.
Absolutely. I actually have 2 >$200 routers that I use at home. I bought them specifically because I could put pfsense on them.

Same here, just s/Apple TV/Chromecast/

While we are Amazon Prime subscribers, the hassle of actually watching anything on Amazon Prime Instant Video means we never bother. I think we have a BluRay player that is technically capable of it, but it's a couple minutes worth of annoying menu navigation to use it...

This is an article about rejections though, and my point is the slush pile is a very low quality source of rejection. It tells you very little about why you were rejected and what you can do to improve. If you succeed via the slush, that's great, but if you don't, you're likely not getting much, if any, actionable feedback. This is where self-publishing shines, because you can get substantive and immediate feedback from a real audience, even if that audience is small.
This was possible in Rails 4 using the Render Anywhere gem.
Bending Spoons | Software Engineer | Milan (Italy) | Full time, Visa, Onsite

Bending Spoons is a fast-growing tech company focused on building and marketing mobile applications. We think, create, and market our own apps. We're young (3 years of activity, average age 27 years old), but we've achieved explosive growth: the apps that we've invented, developed, and published have been downloaded more than 40 million times, and millions of people use them every week. We are currently looking for an exceptional Software Engineer to join our team of backend and iOS engineers. Our backend stack consists for the most part of Python, node.js, MongoDB, and Redis. Our iOS work is every bit as extensive and challenging as the backend one, if not more. More information and application form at http://bendingspoons.com/careers.html (Please mention in your cover letter that you found out about us on HN.)

What are the "newer blinded player methods"? Google only finds your comment.
Also, while ruby may be better at DSLs, python's not bad at them by any means. All the __magic_methods__ that enable stuff like operator overloading and intercepting "obj.attr" references, etc make it pretty easy to make a pretty reasonable looking DSL pretty quickly.
Funny you ask -- because boy do I have an answer.

Last week I officially switched (reluctantly and with a bad taste in my mouth) from Spotify to Apple Music.

Why? Simply because when I'm driving I want to dictate by voice command what song I want to play. I could not do this with Spotify, that's why I switched.

Next time I won't get an iphone because of the bad taste this experience has left me (the worst part is apple's voice transcription technology is so bad compared to Google's... so half the time even that doesn't work)

When your choice is 1,000,000 people with 0.0001 each or those same 1,000,000 people with 0.00000001 each, it starts to seem like a really silly question.

Every human life is unique, special, and sacred. Yet, we cannot ethically permit ourselves to be paralyzed by this to the point where we refuse to reduce the amount of avoidable death because our options are not perfect.

Break up your time with exercise. Even if to get out and take a short walk for 15 minutes. Exercise will do wonders for your productivity. Whenever I feel myself slumping in the day I usually go for a walk or find something else to do that is not work related.

Eat healthy and avoid lots of caffeine. The caffeine is tough for me, but I try to avoid heavy sugars and I don't drink soda. I noticed a huge difference in my energy simply by cutting out (or at least reducing significantly) high fructose corn syrup from my diet (no sodas and a lot of sweet "junk" food).

With exercise and diet it is not an overnight process though and may take you a few months for your body to adjust before you really start noticing the differences.
India Cons -

1> Infrastructure - You can't get China-like public utilities (road, transport, electricity, water ...)
2> Blatant corruption -> While corruption in China is at the communist party level, every step you take in India requires a bribe, or things move at snail pace.
3> No hardware ecosystem - both the design and manufacturing skills and resources are considerably weaker than China

India Pros -
1> IP protection laws are stronger and more enforcible.
2> English fluency is high - hence communication is less of a barrier
3> Well established software and back-end-office sector.
4> Government policies are not as protectionist.
5> More conducive to free speech, so a Facbook/Google can actually thrive in India

Conclusion - Bangalore/India is the Shenzhen of software, but definitely not close in hardware.
I'm guessing these routers are an exception to that rule, but why is that?
Why does this keep getting removed from the front page?

It's funny to see people justifying this in stupid ways. We all know why women do worse than men. Because they are not as good in technical fields as men. We all know this. Why are people in such denial?

Let's say that only 1% of programmers are women. We're supposed to believe that this is some grave injustice, that many great programmers are not hired because they are women and more still just don't even think about becoming programmers just because they are women. I could easily name 100 great programmers, Torvalds, Stallman, Carmack etc. I challenge anyone to name one, just ONE female programmer that is on that level. How could it possible be that out of the thousands of great programmers out there, not one woman has made it to that level?

Simple: they are NOT AS GOOD AT PROGRAMMING. Has anyone here ever worked with a woman? You end up redoing all of their work for them. In conversations with them it is abundantly clear that they do not understand what is going on. Their brains are just not wired to work that way. This goes for 95%+ of men too, by the way. But it's more like 99.99% of women.
That's actually a good example. Many honest people and criminals alike who value privacy are buying feature phones with no background apps, GPS turned off, and sometimes battery out. Been going on a long time. Great improvement in privacy or odds someone (outside nation-state) is going to remotely snatch your secrets. There's also regular press releases showing smartphones have lots of hackers targeting them.

Yet, people buy iPhones and Androids instead. They wanted those features over privacy or security. Next step was people posting hardening guides plus making private apps for these. Most people still didn't use them. Next step, given that and low sales of "crypto phones," was to make new crypto phones & mobile solutions that pre-hardened Android, pre-supplied key apps we needed, and provided things like remote wipe. Most people and businesses don't buy those even if the price gets down to a normal smartphone.

I mean, what else is even left to do to appeal to majority who won't buy a fully-featured, privacy-enabled, Android phone for Android prices? At this point, I feel comfortable saying the buyers are the problem or (said differently) they have a clear preference against any private phone companies produce. They're for existing UX, tons of apps, more tracking for app's features, cloud backups providers can read, faster, prettier, and so on. Everything that enables hackers.

So, I suggest companies just say "Screw it! I'm just going to do a marginal improvement on whatever customers want while making excuses when problems happen." Since telling them it's their own choice doing it or offering them a secure phone will both lead to financial losses.

>can you force derived classes to have foo_impl, and have an inlined function foo in the base class that calls foo_impl?

If that's all you want just write:

void foo()
{
static_cast<Derived&>(*this).foo_impl();
}

When the derived class doesn't have any method "foo_impl" (or no "foo_impl" with a suitable signature), you will get a compile-time error.

No need for the static_assert, that was just because KKKKkkkk1 asked whether checking for the existence of a method at compile-time was possible.

Compile-time polymorphism is essentially duck typing: If it quacks like a duck you can treat it as one. If it doesn't quack like a duck, but you still treat it as one you get a compiler error.

Stealth Startup | Marketing Help Needed

I'm a full-time software engineer who works on many different side businesses (with some success). I need someone to help with marketing a new technology product I'm building. I'm interested in an equity partner rather than an employee, but a contractor is OK too. The product is in the reputation space. I'm located in Boston, but any remote person is OK, provided you speak English and know about marketing. I can provide more details over a phone call. Email in profile

In a world of self-driving cars, maybe speeding will be less like a fine and more like a toll. So if you want to go over the speed limit, you pay a toll to the local municipality for the right to do so.
How exactly does Apple's payment system work for companies that are cross platform? If I have a Dropcam subscription and am using the ios app, is Dropcam paying Apple 15% of my subscription cost? That seems nuts.
It _was_ widely available, on Hulu and Netflix. Swapping those two ubiquitous services our for Amazon Instant Video is a dramatic decrease in availability, given the limited number of devices that Amazon allows access on (i.e. no Chromecase, no Apple TV, etc).

But remember that the 85/15 split only occurs after a year, so Spotify would still need to charge more. I also don't know if the app store is flexible enough to lower the customer's price after that year cut goes into affect.
Compile-time error:

Otherwise, if the expression std::tuple_size<E>::value is a well-formed integral constant expression, the number of elements in the identifier-list shall be equal to the value of that expression

Vigilant public and a locked cabin door. Yes.

Now, it's true sometimes passengers can be... "too vigilant..." There are plenty of stories of Muslims being kicked off of planes for no particular reason, but in the end, yes, I vote public education.
iPhones in particular require all user code that runs to be signed and run in a sandbox, which makes it much harder to hack.

Android also has a sandbox, but is more permissive about running things outside it: still, by default it's pretty locked down.

Windows is not locked down that way, and most programs will require admin access for installation, at least.

Well ultimately any useful program will use a library that uses unsafe. All I/O is unsafe at the bare metal so while you can safely wrap it it still is unsafe internallly.

When talking about the usage of unsafe code in rust, we generally ignore encapsulated unsafe code in libstd since it has the same safety guarantees as tgr compiler itself. all unsafe code encapsulated in a safe API has these guarantees, but you trust libstd more :)

Under Nevada law, "markers" - the instrument one signs to draw against a casino credit line - are considered checks. They even imprint your checking account information on them. About a month after your trip, the casino will send you a bill for all outstanding markers. If you fail to pay it, they simply deposit the markers you signed into their bank (remember, they have your checking account information imprinted on them). If they bounce, they are treated and prosecuted as if you had simply written a bad check.

Unsurprisingly, this is fraught with conflicts of interest, made worse by the fact that Nevada law entitles the DA's office to a percentage of anything it collects on behalf of the casinos. They are effectively a debt collector that can throw you in jail.

This comment is a perfect example why arguing over proprietary software is mostly conjecture: nobody can look at the code and see what's different.
I love your initial application process. Just technical enough to weed out people who aren't really interested / don't have ability. But quick and easy enough that it won't put too many people off applying.
You agree with the judge in all aspects save the not requiring a warrant in the first place-- which i think is the only strange there here at all. The judge ruled exactly as you think. The defendant argued that the warrant lacked jurisdiction, being based in VA and he lived in FL. The rules of warrants allow for implanting of tracking devices in the jurisdiction and its ok if they are then taken out of the jurisdiction. the judge argued that you take a digital trip to Virginia's servers, download the porn, and then head back to florida with the contraband. This met the interpretation of the warrant issuing guidelines so it was a valid warrant under the rules. Further, the warrant specified who and what was to be collected: IP address, mac address and a few others. The IP address was actually provided by the client "voluntarily" when the rest of the payload came back. But the stretch--and just incorrect part, to me, at least-- is that the judge opines that a warrant was not necessary in the first part because the internet is known to be treacherous so everyone knows you can be hacked. He gives a big list of hacks, half of which were government actions, and then points out you can't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and therefore its not an unreasonable search and seizure.
I think something like this is needed for elections. If you want to vote for someone, you have to pass a simple quiz to prove you know what they stand for.

What about this issue that big winnings would be taxed but you would only be allowed to deduct a certain amount of your losses each year - otherwise people could claim unlimited losses. Even if you had a slight advantage over the house I don't see how you could beat the tax system.
I find a roku is much more convient than casting. Roku has Amazon, google play, and Netflix. The only thing it's really missing is Apple stuff.

The roku stick 2016 version is pretty cheap. Though if you want Ethernet you have to get a roku 3. If you want 4K you have to buy a roku 4.
The problem with those kind of scripts is that while they correctly account for not accidentally exposing yourself to the Police (without a lawyer present etc), they fail to account for the consequences of getting in the police's nerves and looking like a suspect in their eyes (which can get down to them downright making stuff up or planting stuff on you).
I think you're misreading it. He's not saying that the heinousness of the crime justifies it, he's saying that by accessing child porn from another country, the defendant opened himself to hacking risk and as such has no reasonable expectation of privacy.
This effort is neat.

As a kid, I cobbled together one working Xerox Star from several partially working abandoned units. My friend's mom was a master typesetter, wordprocessor, and data entry ninja. She used the Star for her business. She loved it.

First and last time I got to play with a Xerox. I had an Apple //e (bought with my own money) at home and used WordStar (right?). After seeing the Star, it felt like I was banging the rocks together. I still think its crazy how far ahead Xerox PARC was for the time. (Ditto The Mother of All Demos.)

For some reason, technology preservation warms my heart. The same feeling I got chatting with the folks at the Computer Museum who are restoring a mainframe to working order.
IIRC any subscriptions and/or purchases driven by apps downloaded from the App Store are subject to a fee paid to Apple. That's according to their (garbage) App Store rules.
If you subscribe through the iOS app, Apple gets 30% of the subscription. That 30% drops to 15% after a year.

You also can't advertise signing up for the subscription outside of the app.
