Good point if you're using push for page content that varies, like images in the the 99designs portfolio and gallery. That gets into dynamic caching territory.

As a first step, I'm focused on using push to cut latency between TTFB and processing of render-blocking static assets. Serving those from same domain as the base page, it should be easy for origin to supply edge with the list of resources push. Either in the HTML or with the `link` response header. It also means my critical assets are not longer behind a separate DNS lookup.

In the design gallery, this type of push approach could help you regain control of loading priority and get your fonts loading before that wall of images.

One of my earliest jobs was working with COBOL (I am one of the few programmers coming up in the early 2000's that had COBOL in not one, but TWO core classes required at my college). The pay was rather good for my Midwestern location, 80k+ starting base pay was well over double the average pay for college graduates.

I thought it was actually fairly interesting work. COBOL is a very neat language. Like anything though at age 22, it's not likely you'll stick around for any job, much less one where you're generally just doing maintenance and source control / corner case bug bashing. I moved on but I'll always remember the job.

'Tinder for Finding Roommates'
I've been unemployed for just about 16 months now, due to a serious family tragedy that required me to not only leave a past job, but also relocate from the east coast to a rural part of the midwest with no nearby tech job centers. The rural area also makes it borderline impossible to conduct Skype calls, because the tower-based internet service this far out is spotty and unable to handle video streaming.

I'm back on the job market and able to consider relocating, and I would be very interested in considering their services as a job seeker, but I can't tell anything from their website to suggest any way they might actually help me. Plus, I'm pretty idealistic in terms of my expectations for my next employer, and seriously won't compromise about some of the stuff.

It's a shame. This is nearly the sort of thing that would be worthwhile, but I don't know if I can justify almost $300 without more up-front information about whether they will be compatible with my search standards and exactly what effort they will put in.

If they just offer a resume make-over and then they troll Indeed and LinkedIn so you don't have to, that hardly seems worth it. The importance of resume formatting is extremely overstated (I know from being part of tech hiring teams within several past jobs).

I love this article. My own stepmother just retired from a 30+ year old career as a COBOL programmer. One of my first gigs was actually doing a bit of COBOL myself - it's an interesting language in that the database access is built into the language itself, rather than being a library or add-on.
Sounds a bit similar to the fractal compression experiments[0][1] that were eventually repurposed in stuff like Perfect Resize. IIRC, it worked a bit like RLE, but by generating an IFS on the fly that could be used to recreate the image, instead of just storing pixel sequences.

A couple of years ago, I listened to a Podcast on the general topic of malware, vulnerabilities and so forth (mainly malware and bot nets, though), and the guest speaker mentioned that apparently Microsoft, too, had set up a number of machines (I think he said something like a couple of hundred) to do nothing but fuzzing on a large body of Microsoft software (including, I guess, stuff like Office, Exchange, SQL Server, Internet Explorer / Edge, ...).

I do not know if this is true (but it makes sense), and I have no clue how many bugs were discovered that way. But I would not be surprised if Microsoft quietly fixed those. The descriptions of their patches are often... a little vague (from the point of view of a sysadmin, I am by no means a security expert).

The returns to widgets in these kinds of things are soo diminishing. It looks cool the first 5 times, but then your boss says, "Great. Productionize it" and it's a world of shit. The widgets are good for throwaway demos and presentations, but if you are designing some functions for a business API of some kind, and your form of reporting is to show people something with a widget, now they want your internal API to include the widget, which is a dangerous game.

I like super boring static charts, such that I can completely decouple the presentation from whatever business API was used behind the scenes for the data that's displayed. Take a super severe Occam's Razor approach to absolutely avoiding any kind of animation or interactive plot for as long as possible, and only if there is some kind of outrageously severe business case that absolutely demands it (which there almost never is) will I resort to designing a way to productionize the widget aspect of the report visualization as well.

For this reason, I now see widgets like from IPython as a huge minefield. It looks pretty, but it's a big trap, and it doesn't add nearly the value everyone thinks it does.

(Just to be clear, I'm only talking about the non-demoware case, which is the kind of case I have always worked with.)

Some tech-inclined friends use Hangouts, and I don't communicate with them much because opening up Chrome decimates my battery life. That client was also very slow to adopt basic UI features such as copy/paste of images and drag and drop.

Is there a hangouts app for iphone? Can you only use hangouts through Chrome on an iphone?

I'm on Android and I've been very happy with hangouts. Works great moving seamlessly between my phone, tablet and PC. Saying that in the past they were slow to adopt those features is irrelevant now as the features you mentioned are currently supported.

I would rather use an end-to-end encrypted chat app, but haven't been able to change over yet. I tried Chatsecure with a tech-savvy friend but could never get it to work. It would never handshake successfully. You could see the handshaking messages in Hangouts, so I know it was able to send messages and trying to handshake (both the ones I sent and the ones my friend sent), but it would never connect.
Wow, I had this very same idea (get applied to jobs on one's behalf) like one week ago. Not from a startup point of view, but as job hunter. Actually I went as far as writing up my requirements and searching for some freelance recruiters near me.

(I already work for an awesome client, btw. Just wanted to experiment)

I had planned to keep my operation secret because if the employer discovered that I didn't personally apply, that could be an immediate discard reason.

Also, if you're already a good professional / job hunter, making sure the agent is equally good/consistent can be as demanding as doing the thing yourself in the first place.

Probably Mentat should keep those in mind - applying-on-behalf is a double-edged sword.
Browser do currently do this. H2 has two types of prioritisations: weighted, and dependency.

All browsers implement weighted resource prioritisation and weigh resources by content type. This is a hold over from what they do for HTTP/1 connections.

Firefox has dependency resources prioritisation. https://bitsup.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/http2-dependency-prio...

The spec purposely leave how these heuristics should work to the implementor. Things will change and implementations will diverge over time.

The server ultimately being in control means we can tell the server what resources are important for specific pages with absolute knowledge of the page.

I did not do any real tests and I might be completely wrong etc. but it seems to me that http2 is going to perform poorly over wireless links like 3g.

With http1 one had N tcp connections, and with the way tcp slowly increases the bandwidth used, and rapidly decreases it when packet is lost, even if any packet were dropped (which will happen quite a lot on 3g) other tcp streams were not delayed, or blocked, and can even utilize the leftover bandwidth, yielded by the stream that lost the packet.

With http2 however there's one tcp connection, so dropped packets will cause under-utilization of the bandwidth. On top of that dropped packets will cause all frames after them, to be delayed in kernel receiving buffer until the dropped packet is retransmitted, while in http1 case they would be available at the app level right away.

HTTP2 being implemented on top of TCP always seemed like a weird choice. It should have been UDP, IMO. That's why network accelerators like PacketZoom make so much sense. Note: I work in PacketZoom, I did not do any in-depth research on HTTP2, and this is my opinion, not necessarily of the company.
Wow.

If there's any better evidence that the drug wars have nothing to do with public health or safety, I haven't heard it. That's bananas.
I thought it looked about right. From a developer's standpoint, it's about as crufty as a lot of other less developed options. I personally would invest in Corona before Unity.
The priority queue isn't the issue. In fact the priority queue is what kept our first paint times tanking because browsers prioritised render blocking resources instead of images.

The issue was due to the variance of image size. An image that is significantly larger than the page average will be loaded slower since all images get an equal share of bandwidth (priority). Adding sharding wouldn't help since the client only has a fixed amount of bandwidth to share and all images would still get the same share of it. Sharding could help if the bandwidth bottle neck was at the CDN but that's rarely going to be the case.
How is that abuse? Having lots of cars to rent out seems like the exact thing they would have wanted.
I am sad to see the mainframe platform go away. There are still some things that modern platforms could learn from, my biggest favorite is probably the heavy system instrumentation that comes with it (system traces, SMF and RMF). And WLM is also neat.

I am afraid it became a victim of its own success. IBM and other SW companies got used to so huge margins so they stopped innovating enough, in order to protect the revenue.
Major problem with generic biomimetics is that without the feedstock creating infliximab etc a generic's -mab is actually going to hit the receptor in a different way, and there is some evidence (sorry, on mobile and on holidays, don't have the resource available) that such 'generics' will actually function differently.

Interesting question is whether they then need to go through the process of FDA/similar approval.

Yes, there is. When your model has thousands/millions of parameters, or when your model has many more parameters than the number of examples in your training set, it's called Machine Learning.
This looks very interesting, but I'm not quite sure I see what it really adds to the mix. This is a client/server service, that bootstraps ssh host certificates, from long-lived TLS x509 client certs for the SSH servers?

And users still log in using bare keys, not certificates? (Ie: no real key revocation, expiry for user keys?)

What is the use-case here, that isn't better served by simply automating the signing of ssh server certs (and user certs)? Is it moving the authorization from install/key-gen time to run-time, and from the individual ssh servers to the central "ssh authorization service"?

I was initially hoping this is what I've been mulling over making for myself (a tool to make it easier to maintain ssh user and server certificates, along with an issuer log and revocation list (I take it the life time of these server certs are set so that a revocation list is only needed for the TLS certificates involved) -- but it seems like it might be a bit of a "horizontal abstraction" -- shifting work around without really simplifying the work flow all that much.

I'm sorry to come off negative, I love to see tools that help leverage the possibilities that's already within ssh to make something better than "TOFU" and a mess of expired, forgotten, compromised and lost public keys in "authorized_keys" -- but I really think the only sane way to do that is to use full ssh certs for both hosts and users... And for that to scale, one would need some scripts/a "ssh CA" utility or something.

I suppose this project might be useful if one already has a TLS/x509 CA in-house that is used for authentication and authorization -- and one doesn't want to patch ssh to use x509 certs directly?

You can also read this as Facebook eats it own dogfood. So any issues with React also affect Facebook. Customers drive products no matter if that's is paying customers or a OS users. Facebook would be lying if they said they weren't customer #1.

Second, the argument against React because FB killed Parse is a misnomer. Parse was a service, and in the days following it shutdown announcement, a plethora of OS, self-hosted solutions made the rounds. So the issue wasn't the code, it was the servers running it. React is code. If Facebook kills the React project, the code will still be available. If Facebook's interest strongly diverge, we can always fork React. Or more likely, jump ship to one of the other component frameworks.

The priority queue isn't the issue. In fact the priority queue is what kept our first paint times tanking because browsers prioritised render blocking resources instead of images.

The issue was due to the variance of image size. An image that is significantly larger than the page average will be loaded slower since all images get an equal share of bandwidth (priority).

We could further improve first paint times by pushing render blocking resources but we'd need to be serving those resources off the 99designs domain (with current push implementations). This opens us up to a class security issues we avoid by having an asset domain i.e. types of reflected XSS and serving cookies on assets.

For now we'll wait for the webperf working group to address the limitations with server push semantics.

What makes you think he's inline with those positions you stated? Because you saw "Republican National Convention" and you don't approve?

I think the R's and the D's are both morons, but speaking at either convention doesn't mean you're a party hack, especially if you aren't a member of the party.

Thiel is Libertarian, as am I, and there is often no consensus on the hot issues. Your statement isn't fair or honest (unless he's taken those positions before).

Any way you slice it, it's a good thing to have more third party supporters get exposure in front of the big two.

Whether you love or hate Bernie or Trump - they're part of a movement of contempt toward the two party system and their terrible track records recently, even though they're technically a part of it.
