They were causing interference because they could be (and were) modified to behave in a way that violated FCC regulations. So the FCC made another regulation that said devices should not be modifiable in that way. This seems totally sensible to me. TP-Link violated this rule--not just the "letter" of it.

Also, nobody has banned OpenWRT. If you read the consent decree, you'll see quite the opposite.
you're actually right. I'm sorry. Plus, the tech is actually really cool.
>nobody enjoys writing and maintaining data pipelines or ETL. It’s the industry’s ultimate hot potato. It really shouldn’t come as a surprise then that ETL engineering roles are the archetypal breeding ground of mediocrity.

Bullshit. I enjoy it.

Yes, I'm a mediocre programmer, but I love building ETL. I'm also great at dinner parties.

Logo is essentially just Lisp without parenthesis. Everything is possible, and it's all self contained and defined in terms of itself!

Leigh Klotz wrote a 6502 assembly language assembler in Logo for Terrapin Logo for the Apple ][ and C64, which you could use to extend Logo do to anything you wanted, like interfacing to hardware.

I'm in a very similar situation with a 2013 iMac and UE4. Particularly when using any serious amounts of DebugDraw (such as when the EQS Testing Pawn is used) the performance drops like a stone. I'd get a new Mac, but there's nothing worth paying for, so I'll probably end up trying to get pci-passthrough working with a Windows VM on a Linux base machine.

He patches two instructions, or 4 bytes, removing the check entirely. No need to "crack" anything. Seems like a pretty simple solution to me.

You'll also notice that the code checks for the certificate length so I'm not sure replacing it with zeroes would have worked.
IMO, too many of these websites recommend includeSubdomains as part of the HSTS stanza right out the gate.

Personally, I'd deploy HSTS incrementally and wait until such time there is a majority of subdomains that are TLS capable before deploying includeSubDomains. Otherwise, there could likely be some nasty surprises.
Sure it depends on use. If someone is all ORM all the time they may change fairly easily. If someone is all stored procedure all the time, I doubt they ever migrate.
"DRY—Don’t Repeat Yourself
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system."

Always good to revisit original phrasings of things. I think the catchiness of the lower-information acronym did this one a disservice. I find myself explaining with some regularity that repetition of code is not necessarily repetition of ideas, and if I have `f(x, g(y), h(z))` both here and there but for different reasons then it's introducing artificial coupling to break it out into a single function. The focus, in the longer expression, on knowledge is exactly right. DRY isn't a call for "Huffman coding".
Good question. I would say that those listings with "global location" in the title are open to remote working (like the BTRFS developer or Rails maintainer I list above), and their affiliation to a geographical office reflects more the budget that the team manager has been allotted (salary for a US position != salary for Czech Republic). Try making a search using "global location" as keyword -- I reckon the "telecommute" toggle in the careers page doesn't work.

Another thing I can say is that even if not listed in the job ad, remote working is offered to very solid candidates if asked. Example: an established kernel developer can easily ask for telecommute; a junior less so.

If there is a specific position that interests you, send me a mail (address in my profile) and I can ask the team leader of that group if the specified location is negotiable or not.

> Also, don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere,

what can that possibly mean? there's no way to use imgur at all without linking to it from elsewhere, except if you visit imgur.com as a destination site (which is fine, but not how imgur has been promoting itself for years)

The rest of the sentence means that <a href="http://imgur.com/foo.jpg" >linking to imgur image</a> is fine but don't directly hotlink <img src="http://imgur.com/foo.jpg "> on your site.
Good job - I remember the original discussion.

How about adding an outlined version as well as the filled version? This division is shown in your examples. In fact, there are the following versions: (0) Outlined star (1) Filled star (2) Half-filled, half-outlined star (3) Half-filled, Half-'other color'-filled star (4) Half-filled, half-missing star

Seeing as multiple colors are a hassle and not really what Unicode codepoints are designed for, option (3) could be ignored. Option (2) and (4) need LTR and RTL versions.

I would comment directly but following the .dk links at the bottom of the document results in 404s.

> be actively kind

now imagine you are paired with 5 other "junior" programmers on trying to get some project to x state that requires 5 senior programmers.

-saying that you require 5 senior, not juniors can be seen
as non polite.
-not helping them is not polite
-go above and beyond to help them while you go the extra
mile to deliver on time is both polite and altruistic...
and of course you do on free your extra mile time and
help the company avoid paying the senior devs...

For reference, I'm not advocating for Bangkok either - frankly as a city-vs-city comparison Bangkok is less liveable than Singapore.

There are limits on foreign ownership but its definitely possible to base your company here.

> I think it's for an earlier stage of life

> when I get box fever (which is rare, my box is comfortable) I just fly somewhere

I don't understand how these two phrases fit into the context. To me, living in a shoebox apartment in the middle of a city without a car (which could be either BKK or SIN) "is for an earlier stage of life". When I moved out from my parents place, I moved into a series of small apartments, which progressively got bigger until now when we're back in a real house on a piece of land, and our child(ren) will grow up with a garden to run around in like I had as a kid.

I came here from Australia, so while I understand what you mean about stability of government and rule of law - I've come to appreciate the freedom that a lack of red-tape provides. Yes, I have to be more personally diligent and responsible, and yes I get some weird looks because I've put on a seatbelt, or used a car-seat for a child, or worn a bicycle helmet, or used a drill and screws rather than a nail to hang something on a concrete/brick wall, but I'm ok with that.

I don't particularly need a police officer fining me for driving 5km over the speed limit on a highway in the middle of nowhere to understand the benefits of a car seat for a child.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing that. I work in the steel construction industry, we put buildings up all day every day, so watching them come down always interests me.

I think it's a combination of a quite large IP ban wave and sternly-worded letters to the developers of said tools.
Microsoft has a long way to go before they can start cannibalizing Salesforce, Dynamics has some perks but customizing it sucks. I managed to start a Salesforce trial, implement a couple custom apps in 48-hours (albiet, with knowledge of Salesforce before hand from my previous job) and within a month got the green-light to roll it out to the ~8 person team in our company that desperately needed a proper CRM to replace the access DB they were using + a couple LOB applications. 80% of this was point-and-click work I could have given to one of our Jr developers if I wasn't scrambling to get a POC ready on the side, and, in fact, most of the day-to-day work on our Salesforce org is done by one of our Jr. devs today.

My experience with customizing Dynamics is extremely poor, I'm a C# developer but the thought of touching that gives me horrors equating to Sharepoint.

I don't have any experience with NetSuite, so I won't say anything about it. Regardless, as long as Salesforce keeps being a great platform for quickly hammering out LOB apps I don't see it going anywhere, our parent company is heavily invested in it and we have doubled our licenses over the past year and are looking at upgrading most of them from the "App Cloud" licenses to full "Service Cloud" licenses to take advantage of the case-management functionality so our teams can have everything under one roof instead of having to go back and forth between email, zendesk, and Salesforce.
But now you're hypothesizing Aliens + some extremely convenient energy source.

In order to justify ignoring all the burning stars, it needs to be easier to tap than solar and much much more energy than all the stars will ever generate. I think that requires new physics.

Really the energy source must be infinite. If you can see that it will run out in a trillion years and you can survive for another billion by harvesting suns, somebody will.

We have nuclear power but still dam rivers, and I think beavers notice.

OTOH If there is a source of unlimited free energy, maybe some of those bright spots in space aren't stars at all.

Let the people who want to be packed live in major cities. Than we have more space left over for people who prefer sparser living.

Singapore and Hong Kong seems pretty well organised. Even other big cities like New York seem to work reasonably well on an organisational level. Hospitals, schools, road infrastructure are more efficient with shorter distances and diversified over more people's demand.

It is, but I guess that's not interesting.
> "Also, nobody has banned OpenWRT. If you read the consent decree, you'll see quite the opposite."

The FCC's initial knee-jerk reaction was very much along the lines of banning OpenWRT, and TP-Link subsequently deployed firmware to make it harder to put OpenWRT on their routers. Sure, they're now saying that it wasn't their intention and that they'll try to find a way to avoid it, but banning OpenWRT was and still is on the table and TP-Link and others have taken steps down that road.

As for the FCC rules: they still haven't put forth a clear explanation of how easy or hard the modifications have to be to get a router vendor in trouble. TP-Link's routers are still not fully secured, and just about everybody else still has routers on the market that are no more secure against modification than the TP-Link products. Absent any evidence of actual interference being traced to TP-Link products, it doesn't look like the FCC is merely being strict about enforcing their rules—it's more like they're making an example of TP-Link but deliberately withholding from a broader enforcement campaign while they and the industry try to figure out what to do (ie. can currently deployed hardware be made secure enough without locking it out of third-party firmware?). Meanwhile, the FCC is still having a chilling effect on open-source wireless router software and they still haven't provided any strong evidence that the harm is justified.
Probabilistic Business Models
Books make you learn excercises. There is a place for them, but Logo lets you learn by doing, and by seeing. It doesn't try to teach you algorithms, and math, and optimization: That comes later. All logo tries to teach you is what programming is, and why it's fun.

Although, The Poignant Guide has a special place in my heart as well. It may not introduce programming amazingly well, or anything, but it managed to transcend the format of tutorial, and stands alone as a fascinating and entertaining read. I didn't care about the ruby: I wanted to know what would happen to the cartoon foxes, and if The Originals would be stopped.

After coming back from something involving a very weak course on programming (You know how they say that you can either teach what to think or how to think? this teaches neither, somehow.), it's wonderful to see in logo, scratch, the Guide, hell, even SICP, a willingness to teach not only how to think, but why it matters, and the joy it can bring (not that I'm suggesting we use SICP to bring in kids. shudders)

Between somebody who learned a bit of Logo, and maybe was given some excercises, and somebody who did the Hour of Code, one of them has a better understanding of what programming is about, and is more likely to see its appeal (hint: It's not the kid who did the HOC).

One reason I prefer Quip over Google Docs is that it simply works a lot better. I have no end of weird issues in Google Docs where input freezes up or drops characters. In their own browser! Quip has been rock solid for me. Their desktop app works well too.

For working in teams I like how well shared document organization works.
I very much doubt many package publishers will do this. Most users (if not all) that ask for TypeScript definition files support are doing so because they want to take advantage of DefinitelyTyped / @types going forward. However, any tools that can help us write once and use in both Flow and TypeScript will definitely be well received.

Raising of Chicago
This is basically what I do. Well, it's a desktop installed semi-permanently on a desk that I raised with cinder blocks to be high enough to fit a treadmill underneath. I try to walk 5 miles each work day on it. I can only walk about 3mph before things get too wobbly to stay focused.

I've found that there is some sub-conscious mental block that makes it hard for me to start walking, but once I'm going I barely even notice that I'm walking - I can get lost in the work I'm doing just as deeply (possibly more deeply?) as when I'm sitting or standing.

I've tried to come up with some objective ways to measure my productivity walking vs standing vs sitting but haven't come up with anything concrete. If I had to guess I'd rank my focus level high to low in this order: 1) First 3-5 miles of walking 2) sitting 3) 5th - 10th mile walking 4) standing. Standing is much more strenuous than walking to me.
this might be valuable technology, but as far as i can from reading the OP and from a look through the repo, this is not ETL--despite the fact that "ETL" is in blog post's title, despite the fact that the technology is described there as "a fully managed ETL service", and despite the fact that the term is used over a dozen times in the short blog post. As everyone here knows, ETL is "extract transform load"; this technology is directed to a portion of the first of those three, "extact", and indeed" only a portion because the sole (?) focus seems to be on providing various connectors for data access from various sources, but Stitch doesn't for instance, provide a query language API so that you can write a single query that works across multiple data sour es.

granted, i think providing a library of connectors for many diverse, data sources--eg, SalesForce CRM, Google Analytics, MySQL--is valuable, but it's not ETL, it's not even "E", just part of it. What's more the functionality Stitch does have is, in my experience, far from the most difficult or time-consuming component to build, instead, "Transform" is.
Reminds me of Alan Kay's frequently mentioned nugget about Kepler, that he waited for years to try and fit orbits to ellipsis, because, being so close to circles and ovals, surely all the people doing this stuff before had tried ellipsis, and found them wanting? (No, they hadn't).
the scores are dependent. It's talking about a subset of the data compared to the entire set, rather than a similar subset or random set. The term unlabeled Random_Race is the same as Random_Race:score_factorHigh+score_factorMedium, as opposed to each one individually. So while neither high nor medium alone have statistical significance for African Americans, together they do, a statistical puzzle.

Or rather, if you had also copied line 44, less of a puzzle, since `score_factorWhatever` becomes significant in a race specific model. It isn't race alone nor the score alone. It is something else (age? another not modeled thing?)

They say so in this link, https://www.propublica.org/article/how-we-analyzed-the-compa... Where they explain a bit more in detail what the chart labels mean than what they are labeled in the R script.

Score == dependent variable. So why you ran your blog comments as Score == potential independent variable is a little strange.

As for why you want to critique the very last chart (which does appear in 36, and does as a big chart not to work at all)

Who cares?

Overall, every other time, if we look at a Pearsons fit (line 51)

All defendants

Why the hell would we use this for sentencing guidelines? It isn't very specific, nor sensitive. It has a fairly high false positive and false negative rate.

When you jail someone, you take away that person's rights and you are probably as much as not going to jail them again. This sentencing guideline basically disguises that, and does it in such a way where it isn't specific nor sensitive, and to boot, 1/3 of the time you'll be wrong in your decision. Furthermore, you'll already know in your gut which 1/3 it is going to be - probably someone young or black.

Propublica's writers are totally justified to write the article. They go further than many journalists and show you what they did, and there is no rule in the 4th estate that says they have to do that. If you don't like the fact that statistics as a subject, and policies dependent on statistics, for most people, have to be framed with a story, that's a different issue altogether. But why not come out and just say that.
