On what information do you base your opinion that the engineers at uber are very talented?

So far what i have seen, the only thing Uber is talented at is violating local laws and then throwing sacks of money at it to pay fines or whatever. (and inflating their own (bubble)value, but probably not many people agree with that)

Seeing their blogs mysql-> postgres followed by a postgres -> mysql migration, doesn't give me the idea they are very talented (they still might be, but so far no data has proven me this). Talented would be to forsee these issues and to have avoided encountering them at all. At least that would be my definition of very talented.
I've always been skeptical of any organization that feels the need to include "fact" or "truth" in its title.

Cf. Pravda and "Honest John's Used Cars".
It's a low level language without a GC and compiles to LLVM, it should in theory rival C/C++ in performance, but it's still young and only recently begun making headways for performance.

So just a hunch, also some barely usable benchmarks that appeared on HW a few months back.

Gogoro has some competition in Berlin already.

eMio launched last July (2015). They started with about 150 electric scooters.
Signup can be done instantly, via Skype. I use them almost daily. Batteries are changed over night. So scooters aren't moved for re-charge, they remain in the same spot where the last used parked them and are magically refilled the next morning.[1]

If you want to buy an electric scooter, there is UNU all across Germany. Their 1kW model sells for as low as 1.700 EUR.[2]

> My question is why do you need any bitcoins at all in hot storage?

In the Bitfinex case essentially all bitcoins were in hot storage. Why they switched to that system I don't know. Perhaps they were convinced by BitGo marketing brochures that this would be more secure. Or, they were forced to do that by regulators.

In the general (not Bitfinex) case, you need hot storage in order to process withdrawals quickly. No one is going to use a cryptocurrency exchange which makes you wait 24h to withdraw, this is unacceptable in such dynamic markets.
Sadly, my experience is that the number of designers that are willing to contribute is small, even if lot of them are ready to complain about the state of free software.

The saddest part is that when they dare to contribute, they simply create a fast and dirty bitmap / screenshot... With a few arrows and comment here and there.

In the worst case they just provide a screenshot of a similar commercial software: "Do like them."

I've heard it so often. Also in this thread.

Most designers who want contribute are ready to spend half an hour to a couple of hours on the issue. Not more. Then expect the programmers to spend their evenings and weekends programming. Create the proper files. Solve the edge cases.

And they're surprised that the end result does not correspond to what they were proposing.

Very few are ready to spend days or weeks on a dialog (of course not in one shot). Study the use cases, go through the possible interactions, develop proper specifications.

I also noticed that many are loudly asking for nicer UIs, but very few can think about usability and user interaction.

But I've also met some really amazing designers!

Like the one who has learned enough C++ to create a running mockup and could convince the programmers that what he is proposing can be done!
He has been working on it during the past year!

So, dear designers, if you want to contribute to free software, you will probably be facing small teams of very busy programmers!

And, yes, creating free software is hard and dedicated work. For everyone who is involved!

If you want to be taken seriously, you'd better deliver files that are directly usable for the programmers (as an example: high quality individual files in the right format and size(s), not a big PNG/PSD).

You'd also better deliver a document explaining the concepts behind your work, so that the next designer can build upon your work.

And the programmers will know how to use your files.

And don't forget to also provide the sources for generating those files! (If possible, sources that can be further edited with free software!)

You don't have to learn programming, but there is some serious work ahead!

And there are a few designers who managed to achieve amazing results with their contributions! It's worth it!
No, this is false. Spreading this idea is very harmful, please stop.

Eating low-quality foods is bad for people's health, and makes them unhappy. When people do that, they instinctively compensate for the low nutrient density in those foods by eating more, which has negative effects. But if you simply reduce quantity without replacing the junk food with healthier stuff, that isn't an improvement; that's malnutrition.

Bitfinex had inadequate security, that much is now proven. But more problematic, there is no such thing as provably adequate security for holding other people's private wallet keys. Any flaw in the process of generating or storing the keys is essentially the mother of all bug bounties. That is why over time, I hope that a decentralized method of exchanging digital assets will be used more widely.

While SSH seems like the ideal console application delivery platform, it suffers in a major way: no local execution.

This matters when latency matters. Processing all keystrokes remotely sucks over high-latency links like airplanes, cell phones, satellites, etc.

This can also be a pro. JavaScript is a mess in terms of design, increased client complexity, and security. It depends on what your requirements are.

They did for me recently when they changed the behaviour of the backspace key without a valid option to set it back to the way it was, so I went back to Firefox instead of futzing about with half-broken 3rd party extensions.

Most? Essential? Not really. I can hop into most of the channels with a different nick every time. Nobody cares. I can even use the same one without registering it as long as nobody else does that. I can open a chan without being registered and enforce rules in there.

The only time I need to register something is when I want to keep the channel alive and still be OP when I come back, when I want to keep my nick or when the chan owner requires me to register.

Which is all not "most channels".

That's what I'm arguing for. In this country the public pays for 12-13 years of education and subsidises another four; I'm arguing that among the subjects we should cover with that massive investment is 'don't be an idiot with computers,' much as we have drivers' ed.

SF is not the only big city with a major influx of people coming there for work, I have seen quite a few European and American major cities, but "armies" of homeless out in the open like in SF I really haven't seen anywhere else.

It's probably a mix of causes, not least the very mild climate, if I were homeless I would rather spend a winter on the streets of SF rather than in Boston or NYC, or a summer in Houston...
The hashbang people are doing a LOT of interesting things. What's nice is that they aren't waiting to get the whole internet onboard with their ideas, they are building the services now.

The people involved were in the upper range for healthy BMI or into the overweight range. It's not surprising healthier weight makes people happier. This doesn't mean that people of low/medium healthy BMI would be happier on a calorie restrictive diet. It would be interesting to know what the BMI range was at the end of the study. Did they just get people into the low/medium healthy range or did they dip lower than that?

More importantly, though, how did they get people to stick with a 25% calorie reduction for 2 years? That's like the holy grail for weight loss research. Almost no one stays with a diet long term.

Live AMA with Author of 'Scaling Lean' Starting Now
I can tell you for me it really did make a change, but it took me about 6 months to really feel it.

In October 2015 I was at +110 pounds from today and had to take indigestion medicine to sleep at night, as I gradually changed my diet they became less and less needed. Eventually I discovered I don't need them at all anymore.

Now I find myself craving 'healthier' meals. Most nights for dinner I have greek yogurt, apples, pears, berries, and a little cheese. I honestly couldn't feel better.

A few nights ago I decided to eat one of my old favorite snacks, Cheetos and was left feeling hungover in the morning. I know it's anecdotal evidence, but my experience is the lifting of depression was very gradual and in the last three months or so I've been in the best over all mood of my life.

Keep the diet up and try your hardest to find an exercise that doesn't feel like work. Mine was biking, and I firmly believe that to be my source of happiness in life along with a clean diet and good health.
Like this? :)

You can also run `brew bundle --cleanup` to purge your system of apps that you no longer need (as long as you installed them with homebrew/homebrew-bundle in the first place).

I hate to ask the silly question of "Did you read the article?", but it specifically said to eat more fruits and veggies, and all caloric restriction was done "with regular nutrition consultations to keep them on track".

Nothing in the article recommended eating low quality foods.

Personally, I found the discussion about flossing quite interesting.
Those warnings are as useful as the certificate error ones you get when browsing the web. Most (normal) people see them as annoyances and they do not really protect anyone as they will just click "continue." Same with the UAC pop up that tells you that the app is not signed. Most of the apps I downloaded are not signed...
I think the trap is simple POCS.

Do a simple POC where you ram 1 million rows in a MongoDB and then make a webapp to do some basic analytics. Look, it works and get responses within a second. Cool!

Then real data comes in at 12 billion rows and your analytics take 3 hours to run.

So you try to do the sharding thing, and realize that it works for a while, except now every analytics query needs to hit every shard....
I don't see the homeless as an SF problem but an American problem. SF is just where they gravitate. Same with the mentally ill. I certainly don't begrudge them the streets.

SF is the most disgusting city I've ever seen. The smell of human shit is a block by block experience. Nobody makes any effort to pick up trash on the ground. It's shameful. People just blame the homeless when nothing's stopping them from pitching in themselves.

Don't want to? Don't complain; just pretend it's not a problem, that you don't see it, or even that it gives the city character. That's certainly the norm.
You're a bit behind the curve on this. EFI has been criticized for being horrendously complicated and gross since its inception.
> Firstly US does not dictate Canadian rates, sadly.

Of course not, but 5 year-fixed rate mortgages are set according to the bond market, not BoC overnight rates.

If interest rates set by the US Fed are high, then lenders are going to securitize Canadian mortgages with US bonds, due to the higher yields found there.

Audacity was also affected for a brief time, and the Audacity page about it (http://www.audacityteam.org/compromised-download-partner/) has much more information including the FossHub statement.

It's described there as the Audacity portion being a compromise of an Audacity developer's account, with another reference to two compromised accounts. There were also other attack attempts going on at the same time, so the FossHub folks took things down for a time - not sure if they're done with their checking or not.

According to FossHub there were only ~300 downloads of Classic Shell during this time, and they may have caught the Audacity one faster.

> tricking the framework into doing what we want it to do

I read this from many framework users about many frameworks. Seems like the average developer just can't change is modus operandi to work with the framework they use.

> performance is abysmal

Yes, it's not that good, but most of the time it's enough. Many people write how you should go immutable and be pure and the performance (see pure render mixin etc.) will come. I simply switched some parts of the app, that need high-speed, out with D3 for example.

> it’s nothing that couldn’t be replicated by some simple coding conventions

True and there are many many component based frameworks to choose from. React simply has the better eco system.

> priming and funnelling programmers into their enterprise

Yes and that's probably the main selling point of React for Facebook (i.e. why they give it away for free). They already hired a bunch of devs that did some OSS work on React.

> suppressing development efficiency elsewhere

This, on the other hand, is a bit of a stretch. They don't force anyone to use it and if you did and saw the problems with it (like I did), you could simple use a different framework. There is no shortage on JS frameworks.

What I like about React, is that it has a big eco-system/community and a small API.

After using it one year, I saw its flaws (both in React and Redux) and wouldn't use it for the next project if I have the choice.

I feel like my confidence is usually in the right balance. I have enough to feel like I can build something, but not so much that I refuse to test and check that it works. On new projects where my confidence is lower, my first few PRs can take me forever as I examine every little detail for correctness.
This is an important point, but I say it slightly differently. This may be an entirely irrelevant distinction on my part, but I'm very confident that I'm producing bugs. If I'm writing code, bugs are happening.

The one reason, in my personal experience, that I've benefitted from calling it confidence in bugs rather than a helpful humility and lack of confidence in my ability to produce bug free code is that it's easier to sell testing and code safety structures to managers, who never seem to enjoy budgeting for time that doesn't produce new features.
The short answer is we didn't find product / market fit. It made some people happy, and was useful to some people, but it didn't make people go out and tell everyone they know to start using it. ShareLaTeX on the other hand was growing organically and had people singing it's praises even when it would sometimes randomly lose 30 minutes worth of your latest changes... (yes really! That's very fixed now though don't worry). ShareLaTeX just filled a much deeper need for people. There are so many other Python/R options out there that we never filled a deep need with DataJoy.

The exception to that is in teaching. It did fill a big need there, but we never managed to make the business model work (long high touch sales cycles, but universities only willing to pay very low prices per class). We also never found a growth model for this.
Well, the relational model does not describe or contain a notion of table really, so I guess you could model it in any way you want, even within a single table.

But I think that's a mute point, I doubt they kept any part of the relational model inside their schemaless database.
