> The companies in the following chart are deliberately not labeled. We are looking at general market trends, not comparing companies.

What the hell? You absolutely have to compare tech company performance against each other, normalizing for scale and industry. The following chart even has a blank X-axis for "Time," where the Time-Since-IPO is variable for the 5 companies mentioned.

This method of deriving general trends as an explanation of IPO performance in light of Twilio's 5 day performance follows the same logic as correlation-implying-causation.
Because they still sell mainframes to customers, that pay them for keeping them running as they always did.
Why is "Can I have kids with this person?" considered more interest in the person than "Can I get experience dating with this person?"

I think you're being pretty arbitrary in deciding that one of these is an attribute of the person and one isn't. I don't think that there's any basis for making that distinction.

What I'm seeing here looks a lot more like a visceral reaction that I see from a lot of people who come across some form of intentionality in seeking romance. There's an underlying idea that the only "correct" way to date is to just let nature take its course somehow. Any attempt to metacognate in that area is seen as dishonest, trying too hard, manipulative, etc. Here, you're characterizing the other person's intentions as "serious", implying that dating to get experience dating isn't serious. But for someone who finds their lack of dating experience crippling and yet, as a human, is to some extent unable to find happiness until they can find good relationships, getting dating experience is a very serious goal.

But in the end, dating is just about people meeting their goals. The initial stage is figuring out the other person's goals and seeing if they're compatible with your own. So I don't think we have any obligation to go into dating with any specific goals. As long as we're honest, open, and kind about our goals, there's no harm if our goals don't align with someone else's. Sure, maybe the other person is serious about forming a long-term relationship with you, but it's not your responsibility to meet that need; it's just your responsibility to be honest about your goals so you don't lead them on.
If it uses any external libraries (for example, for image handling) then I believe it does by definition, since the API wrapper you end up writing ends up being a small shim that wraps the actual library call in unsafe (because object code is unsafe, as the term in used in Rust).
Thanks! I didn't notice the note at the top. I'll edit the article to reflect this.
Or a cheaper option of a blue ray player (I have a six year old sony blue ray player which has the Amazon video app )which you can probably get now for under $50.
I don't know how my find compares to yours but I amassed a fleet of used Netgear WNDR3800's, and replaced their old stock OpenWRT with modern version.

Compared to the linksys boxes, they have GigE, better radios (speed and range) more memory and a more powerful CPU.

I might use the USB ports in the future for a disk or some serial thing I want to provide connectivity for.
From http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Assembly-HOWTO/external.html:

About m4 macro-processor: "However, its disfunctional quoting and unquoting semantics force you to use explicit continuation-passing tail-recursive macro style if you want to do advanced macro programming (which is remindful of TeX -- BTW, has anyone tried to use TeX as a macroprocessor for anything else than typesetting ?)."

This is a great point! The TeX Macro language is so much better than M4 quoting syntax. I'd love to have it available for e.g. writing blog-posts in HTML or coding.

It seems that the tex macroprocessor can not be used independently of latex, which is a pitty. There are m4 clones with TeX-like syntax (e.g. http://www.nongnu.org/t4/) - but none of those seems to be used much.

To see what's possible with just assembly and macros see Tannenbaums paper: https://www.computer.org/csdl/trans/ts/1976/02/01702350.pdf
Hired | San Francisco, CA | full-time | onsite

At Hired ( https://hired.com/ ), we are bringing transparency to the recruiting process by having companies apply to you, with a preliminary compensation package stated upfront. We have placed thousands of people into great companies such as Uber, GitHub, and Facebook, and there is a ton of high impact work to improve the experience. For example, in the last quarter, I was part of a team of 3 that launched Hired in French ( https://fr.hired.com/?set_locale=fr-FR ), and created a search ranking A/B test that led to a 20% lift in interview requests.

Hired is around 200 people in total, including 5 designers and 30 engineers.

We have roles in product engineering (we’re a Ruby on Rails shop), data infrastructure, data science, and search engineering.

Some of the other posts have salary ranges, and I think that’s a great way to bring transparency into the process.

However, since we are Hired, we will go one step further.

If you’d like to apply and we are interested in moving forward with a phone screen, we are willing to first state a preliminary compensation package.

Our jobs page is available at https://hired.com/careers, and if you’re interested, feel free to email me at ronnie@hired.com .
Angel List is nice because salaries and equity are visible. Hired.com, you can specify what salary you want as well as other things to use as filters. On hired.com, companies contact you, instead of you having to apply. You have 24 hours to make an initial response. If you don't, the contact disappears.
Either way, I'm not sure what the point is in trying to shift focus to the newspapers or the politicians.

This seems like a great post on why you should be using lodash.. especially all those IE unsupported things. Like mentioned in the comments, it's not just about having one or two of these features, it's about how they compose so nicely in lodash

>The point is you can review how much of the data, if any, that you’re throwing away, you don’t care about. Someone hacking your device doesn’t give you the opportunity to make this consideration.

I see your point, but playing devil's advocate why is the opportunity to consider what data you put on the curb or that is on a device you connect to the internet any different? Surely you can elect to drill a hole in your hard drive before putting it on the curb and you can remove any and all data (including evidence of a crime) from your device before you connect it to the internet.
I've once heard a statement that polarization can only have a quantum explanation. The effect is that when you have two polarizers at right angles, no light gets through, but when you insert another polarizer at, say, 45 degrees to the others, some light gets through all the polarizers. The thing is, classical EM wave theory predicts the exact same result.

Indeed, and then when you look a little deeper and realize that the goals of the "Justice" system are essentially to "prosecute and convict" as many people as possible and the people who prosecute are almost 100% protected from anything bad they do as long as they are chasing those goals

And then realize that even if it becomes obvious that someone is (or most likely is) innocent or has been pushed into a plea deal to avoid an even longer sentence for something they didn't do

You just want to puke

Somehow the ideals of justice got thrown out somewhere here in the US
Lodash does a good job with version number, but upgrades are pretty damn dangerous (unless you feel with sticking to the same version forever).

The worse example was when they changed clone to be shallow from deep. Most code worked (shallow clone is a common case), but not quite all of it. Good luck finding which part of your code depended on deep cloning, even with tests.

So don't think you'd be able to upgrade much more often.
One of the benefits of an editor, or the slush pile, is that at least you have someone else vouch for quality. You have 1/100 chance of making it to review and maybe 1/4 after that so you are in the top 0.25% of work out there.

If you self-publish it, you may not know and there is so much other stuff out there.

Also, this is relevant, the author seems to be talking about short stories which you could produce at the rate of 1/day. This is not true of novels.
Except that Facebook is not a Brazilian company. They would just leave the country instead.
It's also worth pointing out (because the article makes a hash of things), that the case involved two different issues: expectation of privacy in the IP address, and expectation of privacy in the contents of the computer.

The opinion is here: https://www.eff.org/files/2016/06/23/matish_suppression_edva.... The discussion of the IP address issue starts at 43, and the discussion of the privacy issue starts at 47.

The first decision is reasonable: no matter how you try to obscure things, an IP address is public information. Some third-party must have your IP address in order for you to receive packets.

The second decision is, of course, unreasonable. Saying you have no expectation of privacy in the contents of your computer because it can get hacked is like saying you have no expectation of privacy in your house because it can get broken into.

I suspect that on appeal, the former decision will stand and the latter will not.

No. Argument from Authority. There isn't one "the" scientific view.

And, in this case, "107 Nobel Price winners" (sic) have said merely, "Greenpeace are superstitious baby-killers." not a scientific repudiation of the points I've raised.
There might be a difference between non-fiction and fiction in this regard.

A non-fiction work can still really benefit from an editorial pass for readability and usability, but I think for fiction we need a much better external editor to tell us it needs more work.
I have been curious, given all the echoes here about FCC wireless radio regulation, if these devices will in fact increase in price, and those like it, as this niche community covets them.

The "defeat device" was a specific piece of software that Bosch provided with the chips they sold.

Also, it was 1.5 years from discovery to investigations being started.

And regarding the claims: They’re not extraordinary. 4 companies have been in the original report that incriminated VW, others incriminated themselves [1], etc.

The question is would you buy it at a higher price point, like say $300?
Indeed. From the discussion section of their paper:

"This shows that quantum correlations can be universally recreated with classical systems at the expense of some extra resources" (Emphasis added)

I might be wrong, but judging from Fig. 1 in the paper, it seems these "extra resources" involved are exponential, which is exactly what we would expect since we already know arbitrary quantum circuits can be simulated classically with exponential slowdown! But I guess the setup is interesting in of itself --from an experimentalist point of view at least.
> The law is blatantly ignoring the plain reading of the highest law of the land, which creates the double standard.

They had a warrant.
Rust intercepts most stack overflows and aborts the program when they occur. There are some more difficult cases where legit stack overflows are still possible, the resolution to which is blocked on LLVM support on most platforms (notably, Windows is the best here).
"Don’t give the first number in your salary negotiation."

Ugh, I get so tired of seeing this. I only see a few situations where this is true:

1) You really have no idea what someone in your position in your area makes.

2) You have no "best alternative", i.e., you really need this job and must take any number they give you.

For everybody else, anchor, and anchor high. You can both prepare the recruiter in advance that you will be expensive and couch the actual number in terms where it's clear you aren't threatening to walk if you don't get it. Research has shown that anchors don't depend on any context to the actual issue at hand, so you just want to state an incredibly large number in some way, doesn't have to as direct as, "I want $2.5M / year in total comp from your company." Hell, you should want them to chuckle a little at your number.

If they anchor low on you, your only option is to reset hard. You have to make it abundantly clear that the number is unacceptable. The less desperate you are for the job, the harder you should rebuff a low number, ideally with a "I wish I had known that's where you were thinking, we could have saved everyone a lot of time."

Negotiating is a game. Have fun with it.
The judgement specifically mentions "home" computers, Does this mean "business" computers do expect privacy? If so what is magical about a "business" computer?

If the judgement applies to all computers connected to the internet that means one can hack into any system legally because the target has no privacy expectations.
That is exactly the sentence that I was about to point out!
An atrociously bad jobs program. Because while it gives a ton of people jobs, it bends over society and completely and thoroughly fucks the rest of us.
core-js is the truck factor single point of failure of modern JS development.

There's not many good alternative (there's a lot of alternative, but none that are as comprehensive), essentially has ONE person really working on it (and threatening to stop imminently), and the code is unreadable, so hopping into it once said maintainer goes poof will be tricky.

We still depend on it (no great alternative), but it's a ticking time bomb IMO.

No lagging, no crashes, nothing but straight uptime year after year. I do wonder if I should buy a GL model as a "spare" in case it goes dead at some point.

Here is a stream of thought visiting the site.

Bla bla how to read, let's get to the content, scroll down fast. Woops, went too far, now in footer. Put the content up-front when people arrive.

"PART 1", that sounds good. But that's not a link, even though it's blue (the common colour of links).

Now in part 1.

Should I follow the links in the page, no let's go with 'Next'. This looks a lot like the main page again. It is the main page. I clicked on the word after Next, I should be 'Next'! Why have two links back to your main page after the words 'Next' and 'Prev'?

https://fearlesssalarynegotiation.com/book/salary-structures is basically contentless. Should I click on the links in the page, or on 'Next?' If this is like a "book", I would expect to read it by clicking through 'next', but that misses most of the content. Basically, think about how you want people to navigate through. Do you want people to work through page by page with 'Next', or jump around freely? At the moment it seems I have to swap between the two myself, and try to search out all the content.

The explanation of raster scanning in portrait mode reminded me of an interesting peculiarity in some other equipment.

Some of the first HP test equipment with raster crt screens, had the displays oriented in a landscape position, but the rasters were vertcal. So they scanned from one side to the other instead of from top to bottom.

I wonder what the reasoning behind that was and how they dealt with that in the framebuffer and character generator.
Somehow, "never considered" seems a different thing than "assumed it would never happen".
