In my experience: C++ is a rarified language in much of the startup world. Mobile devs can't use it in an app (with a few notable exceptions), front-end web devs can't use it in the browser, and backend devs are rarely working on problems of such scale, complexity or performance that C++ would be of benefit more than hindrance. (This changes as the company grows, but since you said "startup" I'm assuming you're talking about very early stage ventures)

That being said, there certainly are startups that use it, but they're often working in the world of embedded devices, IOT, etc; contexts where development on a traditional server isn't practical or even possible. Much of finance and HPC also use languages like C and C++ (not to mention FORTRAN and others).

So if I were in your shoes, I'd look up some startups where you'd like to work, and find out exactly what they're doing with C++. (You can often glean that kind of information from hiring posts, Angellist, etc.) Once you have that, build something as relevant to their business as possible.

Sorry for the vague advice, but here are a few examples: If you want to work in embedded devices or IOT, grab yourself an Arduino, and use C or C++ to program it to do something cool. Any complex behavior will demonstrate at least a working-proficiency with the languages. If you want to work in finance, maybe building some black-box trading software would be a fun experiment. Get creative, I'm sure you'll think of something.

It's hard for me to second guess but I think if it had been me, as soon as the car got stuck I would be backtracking the way I came in. If a car made it in, it's clearly going to be pretty easily walkable, and you're heading back towards more main roads where a passing car is more likely.

I can't imagine taking off into the brush with no water or gear. Especially with kids.
This is a pretty good collection of small utilities but I would recommend using GNU Parallel[0] instead of the included parallel. It contains a ton of extremely useful additional features such as distributing jobs to remote computers.

> Aside: I seem to remember seeing something about the Arabian Peninsula soon becoming so warm you cannot maintain core body temperature by evaporation of your sweat, at which point it will be uninhabitable outside of modern buildings with A/C ...

No source on this, but I remember reading somewhere that in the hottest conditions recorded (Persian Gulf heat + humidity), the humidity would actually condense on a human like a cold water bottle on a hot day.
The fact that you can equate dress code to fascism just show how out of touch with reality you are.
A business has every right to mandate a dress code you have the right not to want to work for an employer who does, but it does not mean that employer somehow hurts your freedom.
Like it or not dress codes and uniforms do have positive effects they also have some negative effects but the same goes for casual dress code.

And yes I have read your comment but it doesn't matter, your job description doesn't have to be customer facing to mandate a dress code, the image of the office especially if there is high foot traffic in it might be important to your employer, the ability to drag employees at will to meetings, pre-sale, video-confs etc which might include external people without needing to worry about what stupid shirt they might wear today is also a good enough reason and overall having an environment where everyone can pick fairly cheap office work/business attire without having to worry about what they wear also makes it comfortable for a lot of people.

Oddly enough the looser dress codes usually go against the direct benefits to employees they are a tool just like the beer fridge, ping pong table and video games room that companies use to remove the gap between your personal life and your work life, they want you to feel that the workplace is an extension of yourself and home is where your bed is when you aren't sleeping in one of the nice sleeping rooms at your work.

Work cloths on the other hand allow you to easily switch between work and your personal life, you put a suit in the morning you go to work, you take it off and boom you are in your saggy tshirt that says I'm with stupid doing whatever you want.
So if you are against the workplace invading into your personal space during off work hours you might want to actually rethink what brining your own personal life into your workplace does and why some employers especially in tech encourage that.
Without disrespecting his memory, we should not forget that Wiesel lent serious support to the occupation and, what is effectively, the ethnic cleansing of East Jerusalem. Haaretz touches on this:

"In April 2010, he took out advertisements in four major newspapers, criticizing the Obama administration for pressuring the Netanyahu government to halt construction in Jewish neighborhoods located across the Green Line in East Jerusalem."

For me, as an Israeli Jew, I find him too compromised by nationalism to bother with. I'd much rather read Primo Levi or Paul Celan.

Don't write off Outlook without a second thought. It's big with loads of features, yes - but that's what's good about it.

If all you need to do is plain text email, sure, Mutt is fine. If you deal with a large amount of email, calendar appointments, tasks, contacts, etc, in a professional role, nothing beats Outlook.

There's a reason it's so popular.
An excelent analysis of the situation. You nailed it.
> The text is probably the best known example of ‘ajā’ib or ‘jā’ib al-makhlūqāt literature, a genre of classical Islamic literature that was concerned with “mirabilia”: cosmographical and geographical topics that challenged understanding. Al-Qazwini’s treatise explored an eclectic mix of topics, from humans and their anatomy to strange mythical creatures; from plants and animals to constellations of stars and zodiacal signs.

The one that stands out (for me) is Eli's question after God let the Jews die in the Holocaust - "What is man? Ally of God or simply his toy?''"

Eli's question is a continuation of the theological "Problem of Evil": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil

As a person of faith, Eli's question is still haunting in it's note of despair.

I don't think the idea is that Co-Dfns extends the Dyalog APL language. Rather, it exploits the data-parallelism that is already inherent in most APL code.
Why do you think they'd have to be sleazeballs to do this? Everyone is screaming at them that the industry has a "woman problem" and that it's their fault for not hiring enough of women. It is more a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease.
I've been having a good run with Ubuntu MATE. MATE Desktop is based around Gnome 2 which is familiar to everyone, and it has sensible choices for all default programs. Ubuntu MATE doesn't have nearly as much bloat as standard Ubuntu, but has all its niceties. I recommend it if you want a 'normal' experience out of Linux.

Sure. But It would be nice if they sorted out these obvious first-year-physics questions in the article. Just measuring farts isn't really significant.

Are there significantly more grazing animals on earth now than there was ever before, for instance?

It could very well be: I found this xkcd strip alarming as I had no idea that most animals where actually either people or their livestock. https://xkcd.com/1338/

But anyway. It's not the cows that are the problem, it's that the human population is growing. This is probably fixable, unless something like reactionary Islamists sends us back to the stone age. ( Right now that is the only scenario where I could see that the population would explode and then collapse into endless suffering, perhaps in Africa first.)

The fix is education, education and education.

This isn't a union this is a petition, a company works because there is a chain of command this is why being fired for insubordination is a thing.

You can't cave to pointless demands of interns especially after you already said no to them, you don't need to give them a justification when your boss says no arguing continuing on arguing with them is usually pointless unless the circumstances changed.

Passing around a petition to force the hands of your managers would never lead to good results, this isn't about employee rights this isn't about unions this is about young people acting up because likely no one to that point ever said no to them because they were too afraid.

I've seen what happens in schools lately at least in higher education where teachers seem to be afraid of their students rather than the other way around, I somehow feel lucky that I was at the borders of this generation before things went out of head and I remember when being rude to a teach or disruptive in class meant a call to my parents and a whole lot of trouble to me.

We somehow went from standing up when the teacher enters the classroom and showing respect to showing the middle finger and getting angry parents defending their kids because they are special.

We went from higher education being a place of critical thought where people were challenged with multiple views and paradigms to a place of safe spaces where students can rally because a teacher hurts their feeling when they talk about touchy subjects.

It seems that over a few decades we went from a society that aimed for the stars and challenged everything to an infantile group that things that cuddling each other is the most important thing in life because everyone is special in their own way.

And I'm really happy that these for lack of a better word "kids" learned this the hard way and early enough that they might still snap out of it, no one owes you anything not even an explanation, life isn't a democracy at best it's a meritocracy you are valued based on what your actively bring to the table not merely because you exist.

I had a x220 and it worked fine with Ubuntu in EFI-only mode. Same for my current x230. Probably boots 1 or 2 seconds faster because of that. But I never managed to get it working by doing the partitioning work myself (which I prefer because I don't like having everything in a huge partition), you have to format the whole drive and let Ubuntu do its thing.

> Thanks for contributing to I2P!

;) My contributions are relatively minor and I2P (as well as other crypto systems) is something I really believe in.

> Do you have any thoughts on HORNET? Could I2P benefit from a more stateless routing mechanism as opposed to tunnels in the far future?

It's been a while since I read the HORNET paper, but as I remember it, HORNET relied heavily on ISP level cooperation which is just not realistic.
However, the idea of reducing state is a very good one. Going forward I hope to see more cryptographic systems that aspire to reduce overall state.

> I'm working on Go implementation here: https://github.com/hkparker/go-i2p. Haven't made to irc2p to introduce myself yet but I will. Are there any devs who might be interested in contributing?

Currently there are 3 implementations of I2P apart from yours. The original java one, i2pd[1] and kovri[2]. We all cooperate and discuss specifications to maintain interoperability. However the alternative implementations are not maintained under the I2P project as the developers of them desire to be separate.
I was previously unaware of your Go implementation, but you should definitely head over to #i2p-dev and say hi. You can find me under the nick hottuna there.

> Privacy of developers seems a priority. Without any detail of course, can you comment on how necessary this has been. Is it irresponsible of me to work on an implementation in the clear?

About privacy, people have taken various stances. Some a truly anonymous, some are semi anonymous, and some like me are not anonymous. Maintaining privacy for a while might be a good idea. You can always get less anonymous, but going the other way is harder.

I've never had an installation of Outlook that stayed stable and usable for more than about six months. It doesn't help that you have other parts of Office that stick their grubby fingers in your address books, calendars, and mail files and do their best to scramble things up.
I view Outlook as the Emacs of e-mail. But the unfortunate part of Outlook in my experience is that between jobs my Outlook configuration is completely non-portable by design it appears (I have to reconfigure each time I switched to another company).
I doubt joeyh wants to add tools to moreutils that already exist as separate projects of their own.
It's a minor quibble but is it accurate to put the project under the US "government" umbrella (@usgov)? I don't think the USG existed in any meaningful sense before confederation.

I'm curious if anyone uses a curved ultrawide in portrait mode instead of landscape. I've got a 27in 16:9 in portrait mode right now, and it seems like a curved display might work better so long as the viewing angles still work.
To clarify, since modernity has stripped us of patience: "low latency" here means on the order of 1500ms, not tens of ms, as most people expect. As opposed to tens of seconds or minutes in mix message protocols.
A killer app for consumers probably wouldn't exist for most things, unless you could integrate streaming or delivery services.

But I think the real killer app will help correlate consumer behavior, advertising and the supply chain. You could have a refrigerator that keeps track of everything you buy and where you bought it. Scaled up to tens of thousand or millions of consumers, you might have very useful data for stores to use to predict what to stock and how much, and how to target advertisements. I'm reminded of the story of Wal-Mart predicting one of their customer's pregnancies based on their purchasing habits, and sent coupons for related products.

I also think integration with social media is going to be a huge part of the IoT taking off but I'm not entirely sure how, yet, other than vague ideas about appliances having their own AI driven social media accounts and posting to your feed. That could both be useful, and an incredibly sinister way of getting consumers to empathize emotionally with a brand, even if only subconsciously.
If the product functioned, but had a security flaw like that (which doesn't reveal personal information, etc, just could allow someone else to turn your item on or off), I would have given it two stars. It is functional, and for some use-cases it could work (i.e., blocked from the outside Internet). One star would be if it didn't work, or opened a back door from your home network to China.

Still, he shouldn't cave in. The 'they'll fire me' story probably isn't true!
Great empires of history
I agree, the AWS free tier is incredible for getting a project off the ground. For a side project of mine, I'm spending a little over $10/mo on AWS:

- 2x 1GB instances (one free, one $10/mo)

- Free ELB to load-balance between them

- Free 1GB Postgres RDS

Then I spend less than a buck or two a month when I spin up a c4.large for a few minutes to compile a new AMI periodically. This would all cost at least 3-4x on something like Linode or Digital Ocean.
Will you be around for bsides lv or defcon?
THe culture certainly supports it.

Wasn't trying to take anything away, it's just a separate product is all I meant. Their tagline has always kinda been "Run on the same platform as amazon.com!"
10-bit with a log or gamma encoding is widespread in film and video work, and I've never known a banding problem, even with purely generated gradients. The Rec. 2020 UHD standard does recommend 12-bit gamma-encoded to deal with the ludicrously wide gamut.

For HDR, a PQ (perceptual quantisation) encoding curve is already standardised by SMPTE - page 8 in these slides goes through the process of how it was worked out, right from human visual system basics: https://www.smpte.org/sites/default/files/2014-05-06-EOTF-Mi...

Given the abundance of log or gamma encodings for display imagery you might wonder why true linear 16-bit float is so common in CG production - why not log encode those 16 bits and get loads smoother gradients? Maybe the answer is that during production those linear files often also encode non-image data like vertex positions and normals, and perceptually "good" quantisation of those could lead to unexpected precision problems...
Sadly, knowing most companies, it will be more likely an internet of crap, with lock-ins and microtransactions up the wazoo.
Ooh, looks nice. I assume it's going to be a service though? Anyone know of similar style products out there that are self-hosted or open source? I have several scenarios where it would be great to tie together a static repo, an on-demand CMS like this, and the pushed final product, just like this looks like it will do.

Requested access though, looking forward to seeing more.

So the next killer app is you can design images on toast. Words fail me. Will people be uploading images of Jesus?

Spend some time with it again. You'll learn to hate it just as much as you did the first time around. For me, it's because of a single factor: BSOD caused by shitty geforce drivers. I used to think the linux geforce drivers were shit because it was a neglected platform. Now I know the truth: windows geforce drivers are full of pain and tears as well. I don't see any of the same issues on OS X.

Your salary ranges are too low. In fact you should start with double the max as your low range.

People used to pay ~1$ for a newspaper. Now everyone expects it for free.

The issue is that the Internet has so many sources of information, whereas there used to be just the few newspapers at the local store, or the one delivered to your house.

With ad-blockers there is even less money being generated for online papers.

So what's the solution? What is the method by which reporters get paid for their work? I have some ideas, but I think they've all been tried.

That being said, I'm with the commenter, I'd prefer non-paywalled content (but I also want to see good reporting be rewarded).
