That doesn't seem to be too far adrift from how Dialyzer's success typing and Erlang work, though you'd have to create explicit spec definitions of all inputs and outputs of different shapes. There'd be little if no implicitness possible aside from implicit sub-typing.
Heh, you're the first person to ask. Let me see what I can do.
> ... there will be a 1:1 mapping between their problems and AWS's offerings

I don't know if you meant it that way, but I laughed out loud when I read that!
To be fair, there is some precedent. Printf, QuickCheck, and other libraries and features keep the exact same name as they're copied from language to language.
Beyond grep, Ack: a better grep, for programmers
Wow, thanks for that extensive review! I'll need some time to digest all that.
That's a great blog post. Thanks for sharing!
Why? That seems fraught with all manner of peril.
We evaluated ECS and Beanstalk but ended up writing a tool around building CoreOS/Fleet clusters (not currently opensource but I'm trying).

We ran into similar complaints. CoreOS comes with Etcd which though initially unstable is now solid and incredibly handy for service discovery and configuration. We're using https://github.com/MonsantoCo/etcd-aws-cluster to configure it dynamically. We use etcd+confd to drive nginx containers for routing. All in all it works well. Our biggest problems are docker bug related and those we can generally handle by just terminating the node and letting autoscale heal the cluster.

Personally, I've always felt nigh claustrophobic when surrounded by trees. Give me the flat, wide-open desert, though, and I feel sublime. There's something pacifying about seeing as far as my eyes can see. Now, I do love some national parks, such as the Grand Canyon, or Zion, in which you can become surrounded by trees and mountains and feel utterly awestruck at the beauty. But I feel my spirits tick up as soon as I hit the vast expanse of desert again upon exiting the trees.
During hyperinflation times, the Brazilian government tried to make illegal to increase prices. Obviously, people and companies could not afford, or refused to, sell at the fixed prices for long. So supermarkets went empty.

Several governments in a row tried the same idea to contain inflation, unsuccessfully. So it is not surprising that, decades later, another government is making the sames mistakes.
Usability with Facebook M, much like Google Allo, will require E2E encryption to be turned off in order to take advantage of those features. Alex didn't mention that, but I think that's the real reason. Also FB wants to know what's going on in your conversations. That metadata can be used for advertising.
Hadn't seen his second video! Here's his first attempt which is also quite entertaining.

I guess it's a matter of taste—I consider anything requiring jailbreaking inherently broken without something to protect. I have no desire to protect my fitness data, but I do have a desire to have access to my own device without problem.

Give me accessible hardware or give me something that will be trash a year from now.
I guess my question is how do you denote road ways in such a way that is detectable in all weather types without being sight pollution or requiring external power sources. I can only figure embedding something in the road in such a pattern that it indicates direction of travel. Yet I don't know what can be buried that can work that doesn't require power but can be detected by a car traveling past it.
I'm familiar with the moniker. I don't contest it. I still don't believe it represents 20% of global wealth. For one thing, if 20 trillion GBP, twice the U.S. GDP, had left the global economy in a week's time, we wouldn't even need to argue the point. It would be the only story on the news.
If its ideology that supports gun ownership, the same ideology supports tough crime laws and a well-armed police force. Fear explains why we want weapons, but fear also explains why we want a heavily armed police force. Those who are most afraid are not at all concerned about the police occasionally shooting unarmed minorities. Politically, you're still looking at 50/50 here at best it seems to me. But gun control at least makes it plausible that decreased weapons use in crime means police don't need to focus so much on assault.
How to Write Like Antonin Scalia
Great question! It was thrown out of court in the end, but the cop really didn't have any reason to pull us over, and despite searching the whole car, he couldn't find any drugs. He had to write a ticket for something though, I guess.
If you expect you can reliably turn off your phone (7 seconds) before you get in a search situation, then use a full password instead of a numeric pin, then touch ID is a great balance of convenience and security. TouchID also prevents shoulder surfing of your code.

It's all about the threat model.
I'm curious why you have an issue with the mostly-MIT licensed main Rust compiler. Could you explain?
consider this guy had body armor its a good assumption he has something to counter tear gas or similar.

besides, why take the risk, he forfeited his life by killing others and putting hundred at risk from the panic instilled.
You are correct, but you can still get around some of the warts involved if you want.

You can always lock the bootloader again after installing your ROM. Unlocking it will wipe the device again which is inconvenient for ROM updates etc, but if you're a trooper, you can do it. This inconvenience was pretty easily fixed with the open source bootunlocker[0] apk which allowed to you unlock and relock the bootloader once in rooted userspace, but sadly it doesn't work on anything newer than the original Nexus 5 due to security features in newer Android hardware. Manual unlocking, re-installation and boot re-locking is still possible.

The decryption password can be beefed up with adb from the terminal as well. There isn't a pretty gui for it, but that way you can get a strong safe encryption password and a short screen unlock pin. Unfortunately the two are tied iirc normally. Some would argue that having an organically strong password is safer than allowing the hardware to help beef up weak pins.

I'm sure there are other problems, sadly Google seems to look at privacy and security on Android as issues for later. And running anything besides a nexus device is entirely less safe due to the toxic OEM/Google update environment.

It seems like this project would run into the same issues that the hypothetical pure-Rust version of OpenSSL would run into. Namely, that crypto code often needs to run in constant time, regardless of input, in order to not be vulnerable to timing attacks. As I understand it, Rust isn't capable of generating executables that run in constant time because of limitations in LLVM. There seems to be an RFC [1] to enable this sort of thing, but it's over a year old and doesn't seem to have moved much.

Is there any reason why a project like this would be immune to timing attacks whereas an SSL implementation wouldn't? Otherwise, a project like this seems like it's just asking for a vulnerability that's not fixable.

Providing Digital Provenance: From Modeling Through Production
Oh, I think I misunderstood what you meant by "get real work" out of somebody. IMHO, pair programming isn't getting real work out of somebody. I'm with tptacek on this one: take home programming tests. Specifically, tests where they give you specs for something and you build it however you like.
>With one or two exceptions.

If you boarded that same train today those one or two exceptions are likely to be in business class.
We had that conversation with them too, and they just show you how every feature you'd get in kubernetes ECS can also do in a round about way or will do once another AWS service is updated. But for some reason are cagy when it comes to solving for "just run this artifact somewhere for me". It's as though they see their model as being a competitive advantage over kubernetes. shrug
I have a problem with my neighbor's cats deciding to pee and poop in my front yard. I decided to go with a few of these: https://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-KIT19001-SSScat/dp/B000RIA95G .

They worked reasonably well, but the cats have learned that if they run quickly past one, it won't hiss. So now I'm thinking of modifying them so they use an IR beam, and a beam interruption would trigger the hiss.

The eternal battle goes on.
You're not thinking broad enough. It isn't fitness data, it's historical data showing your location (and duration in that location) at all times of day.

I was looking to relocate a while ago and found a website that gives year round weather for places. Apparently Hawaii is consistently 74 and sunny.

Their summary of pros/cons was you may become bored.
> But first of all, why am I writing this language? The short answer is: For fun.

> One of the first things I usually hear is “Why don’t you target LLVM?” (or some other runtime), and the answer is: because that wouldn’t be as much fun. Sure, it’d be much easier to get “production ready” that way, but as I said, the goal here is really to learn and have fun.

This is awesome. So glad to see people writing languages just for fun.

For anyone else into that kind of thing, check out #proglangdesign on freenode. Several really smart people who also just want to write languages for fun often chat there, about language design and implementation.
You could try finetuning training; take the Pascal imageset, do image augmentation (ImageMagick has routines for darkening and 'midnight'-coloring images) to mimic nightime appear; retrain.
Instead of sending 20-30 position/rotation delta packets per second, you could only send something when there is something to send = some key is pressed (move forward, strafe left, fire gun).

Imagine Counter-Strike without sending the rotation of the player until he actually fires his weapon or changes his strafe/run/walk direction.

It works surprisingly well, and with prediction you can't even tell there's a difference most of the time.

Check out rocket league for a working example.

But with fiber spreading like wildfire because copper is oxidizing globally, our challenges are not text based protocols:

Latency is not bandwidth. Binary does not travel faster than text.

The only problem we have is peak Moore's law and peak oil hitting simultaneously, so optimizing and distributing server systems, preferably decentralizing them into client P2P, is our only challenge.

So my bet is to build a strong async. HTTP backbone now to cater for all futures = organizing these P2P nodes.

That doesn't mean I'm against binary P2P UDP protocols once IPv6 gets a critical mass. But that might be never!

Text is better for protocols because humans can read it.

Instead of implementing TCP on top of UDP, let the internet hardware people implement XYZ under your TCP! Do you think that's ethernet running under the atlatic ocean?

Hashing is in a similar position in that we just need to increase the size. Biological computing is (AFAIK) irrelevant to the speedups provided by quantum mechanics.
Is the current situation any different than with C? I'm not aware of any C language (or gcc/clang extension) equivalent of the proposed #[constant_time] annotation/verification.
I need this too. We have a Kuna installed on our front door and it's as if all delivery people know it's there and they try their hardest to avoid its detection. I've seen UPS and USPS walk in very odd ways that just barely don't appear on camera and cranking the sensitivity up ends up catching all passing cars on our semi-busy road. I haven't found a good balance and they almost never ring the doorbell even if it's raining.
Cats poop too! And flower gardens are some of their favorite spots, because the dirt is so easy to kick back up.
I'm a coder and I've done all of those things, often at the same job where I was coding. Insisting on a sharply-drawn distinction sounds like it's just a way for coders to tell themselves that they're better than support monkeys.

I think Julia is probably the most enthusiastic developer I've ever encountered. Which is quite a statement considering a lot of the subject matter is (IMHO) pretty mundane.
Whitelisted programs can be dangerous too- Word macros, PowerShell scripts, etc. The code running (Word, or PowerShell) is signed and kosher, but it's being scripted or coopted into behaving maliciously.
Dirty Employers discussing how to take advantage of H1B folks
Here is the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFICHjX9HDg&t=24m0s

More links here - https://twitter.com/helpSiiA/status/751472968803516418

Recently this shocking video surfaced. We all knew it but here is the proof.

See it for yourself how dirty the employers and lawyers together play to keep you in H1B for as long as it takes. Even if it means for 20+ years.

Update: within 15 minutes of our post the original video was taken down by these criminals. Some members had already downloaded the copy and provided this(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFICHjX9HDg&t=24m0s)

Start watching from 24.00 - 30.00 minutes. It is shocking to see what kind of savages these people are, they'll goto any extend to make sure I140EADAP rule doesn't go through or Skilled Immigration reforms doesn't happen. In one instance the lawyer talks about finding loophole in AC21 to make sure USCIS doesn't adjudicate petitions to provide I140EAD.

I think the Bromium approach will survive the longest, with VM technology involved. Microsoft will have to build it into the OS eventually.

Tools like SandboxIE and other wrapper/shims are in an arms race that they will eventually lose.
Where'd you get the title? The point of the joke is that the study documents that people who are leaving a cafeteria are less hungry than people who are entering. (Just look at the actual title: "Participants reported being hungrier when they walked into the café [] than when they walked out []".) There's not even a reference to hunger being caused by eating.

Hi! I'm the guy in the video. Happy to answer any questions!
I think you've badly misunderstood the paper and its results and are taking some sort of Occupy Wall Street mindset... The 'gradients' the paper is talking about are not exotic gradients which apply only to the general population vs the 1% of the 1% who get into an accident in their Lamborghini and call their dad in the Bahamas who deploys a crack team of white-shoe lawyers to ensure he never appears in court; it's talking about the health gradients you see when you compare the first decile of income nationally to the second decile, the second decile to the third, the fourth decile to the fifth, and so on. (AFAIK, the Swedish administrative data doesn't even give access to the 1% as they topcode or withhold access to their data.)

You see health differences no matter who you define as 'richer' or 'poorer', throughout the general population, in ordinary people. Yes, in the normal people you pass on the street, who have no 'financial advisors' other than their uncle who has some hot stock tips (although I suppose he would count as 'inherited'), who have no 'people investing their money' unless they are unusually prudent and have some Vanguard savings, who are not 'able to afford universities and good health', and so on. The person making $5k a year is less healthy than the person making $20k a year is less healthy than the person making $50k a year, and so on. Where are the monocles and secret cultural rituals there? None of these people 'grew up rich', so you should still see benefits when the $20k person wins a few thousand bucks in the lottery, if the causal effect here is through the money. But you don't.
The Difficulty of Routing Around Internet Surveillance States
True; as digi_owl indicates, you could only ask for the next element in the path, too.

Also, you are implicitly trusting each level in the tree to be honest, anyway: even if you say, 'hey com, give me example,' he could always give you the address of a computer he controls instead of the real com.example, and thus get the next item in the path from you when you ask him to resolve it.

You can't get away from trust: whether it's trust in DNS, or trust in CAs, or evne trust in the great masses reporting public keys seen in the wild, you can't get away from trust.
Implementing HTTP2
If you are looking forward to implementing the new HTTP2 protocol when you are able to, then you will need to consider a few things that will differ from any optimizations you are making to your web sites for the HTTP1.1 protocol. With HTTP2 in place and your users able to make use of it, your web site loading speed should be moderately to much improved!

> So police killing a higher proportion of unarmed blacks vs unarmed whites is okay because, um, reasons.

The evidence which appears to indicate that blacks are more likely to be dangerous is a pretty reasonable reason for law enforcement to be more alert when dealing with blacks.

The fact that the proportion of blacks killed is less than the proportion of dangerous blacks seems to indicate that law enforcement is actually showing restraint.

Right on with your view of the birds with clipped wings but your cat view...I mean, did you have a bad experience or something? I've known quite a lot of people (especially farmers) who keep outdoor cats and they rarely destroy anything beyond killing some pests. In fact outdoor cats are HUGELY valuable for farms because of pest control.

Some animals will become pests no matter what but I've never met someone with such a negative view of outdoor cats it was just a bit surprising.
since the sprayers have a configurable spray width I think you could get pretty far with some sort of wide-angle sensor (a few ultrasonic range finders, or maybe a Kinect?) placed at one long-edge end of the lawn and use that to trigger sprayers laid out perpendicular to the camera.

PGP while a decent technology is very cumbersome. Worse, it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot if you aren't an advanced level user. I've used it for years on a regular basis with various implementations. It's just never been user friendly or easy to use. If it was more user friendly it might have had better adoption rates. As moxie has pointed out, we need something better for the masses, it looks like we are finally seeing progress towards that goal now.

The thing is, that Amazon/Facebook/Google are in the unique position of having too many applicants, not too few.

This is by no means vindicating their process, merely shedding some light on it. A bit like case studies and consulting...

Edit: though on that note, a good case study will extract / give a candidate the opportunity the opportunity to demonstrate key competencies aligned with consulting, much as in the same way solving some algorithm on the spot is a reasonable proxy for being a good googler. The only problem is it has a high false negative rate...
If you advertize for a sheep with five green legs, suddenly mother nature will start sending in resumés of people who claim to be exactly that. Therefore, job adverts don't work.

What you need, is a resumé database in which you can search.

In fact, I would personally never, ever react to a job advert. Thousands of people, who do not have the skill set whatsoever, will react too. That will give a completely wrong impression — of levels of competition that do not exist in reality — and drive down compensation for real candidates, who therefore bail out pretty much immediately, or even never react.

Seriously, there is often a good reason why these other people are looking for jobs. It is always the same people looking for jobs. The people whom you really want to hire, are usually not looking for jobs.

You should reasonably assume that people who can really do the work, are already working. The discussion then revolves around why would it be more interesting to work for your company and how much more are you willing to pay for that?

Wisen up and stop wasting your time and money on job adverts.
