As an on-off Arabic linguist in a former life, and someone with rudimentary NLP and computational linguistics coursework, good luck with that.

Jokes aside, as people commended the Arab Spring for the Twitter/FB revolution, I often feel this type of interface presumes people want to communicate across language boundaries. If anything, and as a computer geek a quite depressing observation, it has largely allowed Balkanization to improve. You wanna mobilize x number of activists in your region, specifically, with your dialect? Copy and paste text into FB. Twitter, or whatever least resistance platform. You can even ask them to translate the interface surrounding said text for you, as they did in the Arab world with some tech savvy people, they called themselves Al-Mugharridoon (Tweeters, like literally the sound the bird makes), but no one cares. FB and Twitter and amplification systems now for local media and communication, facing inward not outward. Translation or localized UI has made little difference, beyond allowing islands of similar regional groups, even those peering at each other and hating each other (Egyptian Islamists and liberals) both operating on the same infrastructure! It's awesome in a truly scary way.

I have made similar comments to experts on the media industry, specifically in the Arab world. We were all taught in college to speak proper Modern Standard Arabic as bridge language for Arabs to understand each other despite significant structural difference in dialect. Living in the region for half a decade, I see its importance going down. Where I live Arab kids use English for this function, even with limited education and broken English in most cases.

With the increasingly cheap tech, just like FB, amplifying your local dialect and facing inward is now cost-effective. Al Jazeera, yes even those credited with Modern Standard Arabic on satellite and rejuvenating pan-Arabism, has Mubashir (Direct) channels with local content, for example Egypt, where you get Egyptian commentators speaking Egyptian slang directed at Egyptians. There is value in this, and regional channels do the same, with a far smaller budget? Why and how? It's cheaper, I do not need education to enage, and I honestly do not give a crap about those outside my community, unless it through my local lens looking out within a frame I appreciate.

Of course I see the value for FB engineers and the general crowd here. But sadly living abroad has taught me the cheapening of communication tools is increasing insularity except for those who want do, as a joke BGP-style node work between cultures. Those people have a tough gig, and it blows up in their face a lot, just like BGP.

(Pardon the networking joke, I am in a rare mood.)
This isn't necessarily true.

Vitamins often need to be consumed with the foods they're found in to be absorbed properly.

Fructose as an additive, fructose in squeezed juice and fructose in whole fruit are processed differently in the body.

The root of the problem is this BS "reasonable expectation of privacy" criterion.

The criterion should be open and clear: "Does the government need to get on your internet connected PC (or mail, or whatever else)? Is that beneficial to society?".

Whether you expect your mail or PC or whatever to be private or read by others is beyond the point.

Even whether it's publicly visible should be beside the point (the same way that whether you have your door open or not, nobody has the right to just get into your house without your consent).

E.g. one's public moves (location in time) is public knowledge too, but a society should be able to decide that it's illegal for the government (or even companies and individuals) to aggregate that information about a person, or even more so all citizens.

Even if some third parties still have it, your location data on your telco's servers (period) is something very different than your location data on an advertiser's servers or your location data on some government agency servers.

It's past the edit window now, but I'll take it out next time.

I liked it because it rhymes.

And you would quite honestly be surprised how many people email being nervous about either their PHP background or their PhDs.

Two such emails arrived in short succession a few months back, which is where I got the original inspiration.
• Have you considered allowing returning multiple values, like in Lua and Go, and also returning errors through them? esp. instead of exceptions? (Though I suspect this could be problematic to match with the sweet |> pipe operator)

• Have you considered supporting Lisp/Scheme-like or Rust-like macros? or Rebol-like DSLs? (though I suppose the latter are probably strongly tied to Rebol's minimalistic syntax)

> the implication was that people who use PHP are less intelligent than people with PHD's.

That was not the intended meaning. I was trying to convey that any background, industrial or academic, regardless of cultural norms about those backgrounds, are welcome.

Also, it rhymed and I like rhymes.

I've done work in PHP. Also in Ruby, Java, Python, Golang, PL/SQL and I forget the rest.

I also have a fancy computer science degree. Its main use is to make my apartment look a little prettier, and to qualify me for an E3 visa.

The point is that it really doesn't matter that much. If you have some nous and some experience and we can get along, that's the fit we want.
Basically the fed announced it was going to stop printing as much money as it had been, thereby reducing liquidity in the market. People got scared and there was a big sell off. UVXY is a measure of volatility in the market - so when people get scared, it spikes up.

Oh wow, that's harsh. I can't believe you aren't allowed to direct people to the web experience. That must seriously erode margins for hardware folks.
Bad road markings are very hard for current self driving systems to solve.

Your other points back up the claim though - self driving cars need to be compared to like-for-like mortality: same roads, same demographic, similar safety features. My guess is they're currently considerably less safe.
For those who can't understand "distracting clothing", I suggest them to visit a restaurant where waitresses are naked, on a day when you are hungry, and you don't have a female partner. The theory says that its impossible to fulfill both needs in the same time. (Maslow hierarchy)
And to really do the test, you need the name of the restaurant, so we don't just talk none sense:
http://www.timeout.com/london/blog/exclusive-this-is-what-it...

Some will understand why the owners will make a lot of money. So don't blame the naked females, blame yourself: you couldn't eat what you ordered because your hormones took over your appetite. Or you were able to eat, but you only focused on your plate, in which case we can ask why didn't you choose a different restaurant.

30% isnt a payment processing fee, its a commission + infrastructure tax.

You make money off your app? Because apple made it discoverable in the app store! You make money off your app, pay a share back for os/api r&d!
>Do you hear that hardware manufacturers? People are willing to pay a lot, and you don't have to redesign/upgrade every year, if you make a simple, hackable, usable system!

That's only half of an argument.

Whether "people are willing to pay a lot" for such systems is beside the point to hardware manufactures, if they can make much more by making non simple and no hackable systems they renew each year.

We only know they "make millions from them" which doesn't say much.

Other routers done the bad way might make even more money -- which would easily explain why these are an exception.
Interesting.

You know it strikes me that the idea of having one review and pushing out an unchanging copy is a pre-digital idea. We should be able to indefinitely change the works we have out. In the future we will have arguments like:

"Did you enjoy Snow Crash?"

"I liked the 1998 version, it was so well written."

"Nah, I liked the 2016 version when he updated it so it reflected cell phones."

"You're both wrong, the 2005 version was the sweet spot!"
I mean for the case that this article talks about, but thank you for that link.
Yes, we should go in that direction on anything safety critical.

This is a real world situation that I encountered and led to me leaving the company, they did correct it after I left, however:

Fire detection system in multiple areas of a plane. If area A reported a fire before area B, then area B's report would be ignored. Reverse the situation and area A's report is ignored. This system, in particular, discovered fire/overheat early so that corrective action could be taken. By not making the second report it virtually guaranteed a fatal consequence should the (admittedly) very low probability event occur.

Also in this situation, like the aircraft in the article, there were a very small number of areas and sensors. Full, automated testing was entirely possible of literally every combination of sensor fault condition, ordering, and delays (to simulate "faulted" hardware, that is a sensor that reports a fire but isn't backed up by the other 2 sensors in its area). I calculated it at the time, the full series of automated tests could have been executed in a week, entirely reasonable given the lives we were responsible for.

However, we were not given a budget for this (until after I left), and so we were stuck with manual testing. Which drove the costs and time to an extreme amount (also made some testing effectively impossible, "flip this switch, flip this other switch after 3 but before 3.5 seconds"). The entire setup was a fucking joke. And lives depended on it.

On top of this, the software was a complete clusterfuck of shared variables used as temporaries across multiple subroutines, values getting erased (probably causing the problem that I discovered) when stepping through the piss-poor attempt at a state machine.

When hundreds of lives can be lost by the absence of a single, sensible, test, I'd gladly accept an extra couple million up front on a project, rather than deal with the emotional consequence of knowing my responsibility in their deaths, paying out millions to their widows and orphans, and possible civil and criminal consequences for the PEs involved.
I think the right reaction to this is moving to Android without the mothership. That is an Android stripped from any Google services.

I was quite sceptical about Android, partly because it has a foreign userspace and partly because there were no nice vanilla Android forks without Google code and with a focus on privacy.

I'm now tired of waiting for any Maemo successor to catch up and I reckon F-droid has become a pretty nice ecosystem. Also the announcement of CopperheadOS, Guardian Project and F-droid joining forces is exciting [1].

Excellent, thank you for your feedback. I've updated the main Table of Contents so that when you click eg "Chapter 1. How companies manage their salary structures", you're taken to the beginning of the chapter's content rather than an overview of the concepts in the chapter. I see how this is better.

Previous and Next are a little trickier to address, but your feedback helps me see how it can be confusing. Thank you!
RepSpark Systems | Costa Mesa, CA | Full-time | ONSITE | $60k-$90k

We’re a casual, seven-person software development team based in Orange County, CA (south of Los Angeles). We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, memcached, MongoDB, React.js, and mobx (http://stackshare.io/repspark/repspark).

We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing performance.

We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.

We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!

Taking the diet advice above a bit further, you might consider trying a Keto diet, which is a high fat low carb diet. Keto diets eliminate the blood sugar swings that cause highs and crashes throughout the day, making it significantly easier to focus for long periods of time.

Apple is being a bit greedy when it comes to subscriptions for high-grossing services IMO. Spotify already has razor thin margins and paying out minuscule licensing fees to content producers, it's not viable to pay out 15-30% off the top to Apple.

However, Apple clearly should be able to require a fee for providing the marketplace and payment framework, and you can see their point in not wanting apps to circumvent that to make it simpler for users to be able to manage their subscriptions easily.

Some kind of cap and/or transaction fee seems more reasonable and would be win-win in the long run. You get a bad taste in your mouth when it feels like Apple is using their walled garden to strong arm competition. You can't compete when your largest rival eliminates your profits.

In the end I think it's to Apple's detriment to play aggressively with content providers in their ecosystem when they're in such fierce competition with Android.
