This. On security, if you want to do Infra/Platforms:

- AWS or Google Cloud architect
...
- Devops consulting for small agencies

You can do on-premise devops for big companies as well.

Being a lead dev in your company, you probably have an idea of the truckloads of money large companies pay to get their on-premise infrastructure and platforms to be PCI-DSS compliant, fulfilling generic hardening requirements, enforcing data governance policies and frequently passing pentests.

Build an ansible playbook that does a huge chunk of these things and turn the roles/tasks into powerpoint slides; it would land you these gigs.

Isn't it the passive voice? You conjugate to be and add the past participle. "Go 1.7 is released" rather than "we have released Go 1.7". The passive voice makes Go the subject of the sentence, otherwise it would focus on who is doing the releasing which is less important in this context.

In informal writing you should avoid using the passive voice, as it sounds disconnected and boring. Technical articles can sound better in the passive voice though, and I remember my physics teachers always used to berate people for not using it. So we should have written "the experiment is performed" rather than "I performed the experiment".
If anything, both Google Search and Gmail have received negative changes.

I've been using DDG for years, though I'll return to Google Web search periodically (Books and Scholar I use more often). It's nagware that's begging me to make it my default browser (no, you blew through that trust relation ages ago, sweetheart), and long before then stopped providing actual usable URL links in favour of its craptacular redirects. On desktop I've got a demungifier script I can run those through, on Android, if I see those, I remember why I don't use Google Web search, abandon it, and return to DDG.

A major difference is that in the US text messages and MMS are usually free, so there's not a lot of pressure to move to a different communication medium. In lots of other countries you pay several cents for each individual text message and MMS cost several tens of cents. And this is for domestic messages. With international messages (which you often use because you're country is likely to be much smaller than the US) the costs are often insane and can reach more than a dollar per message. Basically providers in those countries stopped competing with apps like Whatsapp. They still offer a texting service, but they're not trying to get someone to use it, because they already lost the battle.

Thousand times yes. Also it will make you a better developer. Increase the size of your toolbox and all that.
The "low power" mode is for stopping running the many inspections on the code continuously while you are typing. That's hundreds of code checks and often an external code check tool as well (eslint in my case).

Obviously, running all those extra tools while typing uses quite a bit of extra power. It has nothing to do with "this IDE is fat" (it is, but that's a separate issue), but with the amount of features run continuously.

Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion? – Prof. Dennis Whyte – Qreoo
Ask HN: Need career advice on software field to specialize on
I'm a software developer with about two years of experience, working for one of the big four. I recently joined a team that does some really cool stuffs, but it also made me realize my dispassion for maintaining services and the on-call responsibilities associated with it. These days I'm feeling a bit down by the fact that virtually all the software jobs out there will have such on-call responsibilities.

I also feel like my career has no real direction right now, and I wish to specialize in some technical field or business domain. The things that are important to me are:

1. Work-life balance: I would like to work in a field where my only responsibility is at work, 9-to-5.
2. Money: I like the amount I'm making at my current place at would like to at least maintain my salary.
3. Depth of domain field: I find that I'm more cheerful on days where I actively learn things and not so cheerful on others.
17 Psychological Tricks to Make People Like You Immediately
This is an exceptionally strong argument for having your internal and external representations separate. So that every fucking reorg or personnel shift doesn't require 3 billion people to update bookmarks and Web apps and password safes.

Some companies just can't get their branding straight. They launch a video product, then buy one, then try to keep them separate, then try to merge them, then kill one.

Or they launch any of a bazillion interactive chat apps, each worse than the first, and keep killing them off. Then wonder why people don't use them.

They have a secret sauce money machine and start fucking with it.

They create a fear-driven paranoia taillight chaser, set up really stupid rules about engagement, drive off their highly enthusiastic early-adopter crowd, try to cram it down everyone's throats, allow 2 billion random strangers on the Internet to set Calendar appointments (Scoble's blast at Slic Vic was classic), and mix a bazillion random Internet freaks with your personal email contacts.

They shove cameras into the world's face and the world bitchslaps them for it, rightly.

And that's the piddling stuff.

Then they create smoke alarms that cannot be turned off, thermostats that can't work without Internet, and buy, then sell, a war-making robot-terminator-dog company.

And they expect us to believe them that their Majick Cars will be bugproof, un-annoying, and non-lethal.

I think they'll find that when the time comes, the letter H will be well occupied by Hubris.
I came here to recommend this exact thing. There is also simplenote, if you have cross-platform worries or don't want to spend the money--but Drafts absolutely is worth it.

Also, what they're correlating is memory of paracetamol usage, not actual usage. I'm not sure I remember if I used paracetamol the past 3 months. It may well be that more severe pain (or other) symptoms are more easily remembered, so that their "paracetamol" usage is actually correlated with severity of symptoms, and not entirely with actual usage.

Frankly, I think the summary in that article is a little irresponsible: selling your research a little is normal, but this really asks to be misinterpreted.

Edit, the article summary I'm referring to is:

Children exposed to acetaminophen prenatally are at increased risk of multiple behavioral difficulties, and the associations do not appear to be explained by unmeasured behavioral or social factors linked to acetaminophen use insofar as they are not observed for postnatal or partner’s acetaminophen use. Although these results could have implications for public health advice, further studies are required to replicate the findings and to understand mechanisms.

fifteenforty buries one of the biggest potential issues in his 4th para, so I'm going to highlight it: its not clear if this correlation was found post-hoc or not. If you measure 10 factors and 10 outcomes then you have a potential 100 different correlations. If you assume that any correlation where p<0.05 is significant then you are going to get 5 "significant" correlations just by chance. The summary talks about how they didn't find correlations with acetaminophen before and after pregnancy, so that's 3 distinct factors just there.
I use container components at the appropriate levels in the hierarchy in a similar way to Flux stores, managing their state using React's own state management, exposing the state via context (to avoid excessive property passing). I implement actions as functions in the container components which I also expose via context. So far, I've found it to be simple and effective. I use page.js for routing and superagent for web service calls.
" also, it's a bit weird to write a critique like yours for the launch of a new platform"

I think this is a fair critique because the release announcement states the product should address the symptom that "nearly half of us never make video calls on mobile". If you believe the underlying problem is that lack of eye contact makes video calling low-value to many people this is not a viable solution.

Interesting stuff. Good luck with it!
Three things standout to me that made this attack possible.

1. JetBrains setting too broad CORS headers.

2. JetBrains listening to 0.0.0.0 instead of only listening to localhost. Seems like YCMD is also listening to 0.0.0.0 instead of only localhost though.

3. But the overlooked concern in my eyes is why web browsers support XMLHTTPRequests to localhost/127.0.0.1 at all. I can't imagine a valid use case for that outside of developers working against a local machine. Seems to me like XMLHTPPRequests to localhost should be rejected by browsers unless `--disable-web-security` or some other equivalent is used during startup.

It is (or was) difficult to process a phone book at the rate of 100,000 entries in a few minutes or seconds. Electronic data gives you that capability.

The information in a phone book is now the backing and access data, at least in some cases, to other online systems and services. "Who are you?" is the most expensive question in information technology. No matter how you get it wrong, you're fucked.

There are a great many systems which now can use the information in a phone book, or which starting from a phone book you can access, to commit fraud (it's called "identity theft", but it's still just plain old impersonation fraud). Unfortunately, this becomes, in many jurisdictions, the victim's problem.

It's not so much that phone books have changed (though that too), but the world around them certainly has.
Just yesterday ASRock announced a Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing) system. This is now using a main CPU socket instead of a PCIe extension card and it seems to support only a single LGA-3647 socket (that's a LOT of tiny legs). So ASRock took four of these, each taking half a U (Supermicro had similar formats with their Twins) and packed four into 2U.
Especially since in Europe/UK, developer starting salaries are less than comparable salaries in US/Canada/Aus IMO. So they'd be happy with less to start off with, and chances of them moving to the US are smaller, because they can't get TN visas.
Ibuprofen isn't free of side effects either.

My understanding was that the biggest risk of Acetaminophen is that it's easy to overdose and it's relatively safe when one knows that and stays well below the safety limits (and likely with less side effects than ACC and Ibuprofen).

But the bottom line is probably that all painkillers have risks and one should avoid taking too much of them and consult a doctor if one takes them on a regular basis.

explain the presence of homosexuality in a population when the theory of evolution predicts that any such trait (which leads to much lower genetic fitness) would have disappeared a long time ago

one's homosexuality may improve fitness of one's family: if we're brothers and i'm homosexual, we won't be splitting resources between your and my children, and i'll be an extra "parent" looking after your kids. genetically speaking, that is still a (qualified) success for me.

also, genes don't give a damn about individual's reproduction, and local optima are rampant.

edit: what siblings have said.
I find your position strange and contrary to what I've observed.

I wouldn't say that my friends/family/colleagues first instinct is video call, but we certainly use it enough when the situation is appropriate. My cousin uses FaceTime to be with his gf when they are supposed to be doing homework, my family does FaceTime/Hangouts with one another to keep in touch (spread out across midwest), I've used FaceTime and Hangouts to provide technical support remotely when I wasn't able to get to a computer, we've used it to "stream" events that certain family members weren't able to attend (e.g., weddings, etc).

Video conferencing has a lot of normal everyday applications; it's also not uncommon for people to just join up on various webcam chats just to hang out with people online, or for people matched on dating sites to start with a video chat.

I don't know how you came to some of these conclusions, but I really don't think that this is representative of most users.
Also make your logo have your name in all lower case now. It's hip
It's already bad enough that I have a row of chat apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, Hangouts, Skype, Slack, Telegram etc.) on my phone because I can't get everyone I know to agree on one app and now, Google's trying to get me to add yet another icon to that list! I love Telegram but I couldn't get more than a few friends to try it out and even then, no one checks their Telegram anymore because none of THEIR friends are on it. Even though I love the tech here, I can't get enough people to try and use it.

Not sure why this had to be its own app. Could have just been included into Allo. Also, all of the other apps I mentioned above have some form a desktop app (which is in a way, the biggest factor for me considering that's where I spend most of my time). Sigh! Great tech, terrible packaging.
> It's incredibly easy to build a theme or plugin for and the deployment pipeline is pretty darn simple

I disagree, I found writing custom auth and theme to be nightmarish compared to other frameworks and CMSs because the codebase is so poorly documented and illogically structured. It probably took us three times as long as it should have done to "complete" the project. Having subsequently played with some other CMSs/frameworks like October (based on Laravel) and Django, wordpress looks somewhat inexcusably bad.
> You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your call will connect, or if your friend is using the same type of device as you are.

...From the blurb from app that only runs on two operating systems (notably excluding Windows Phone), is proprietary (preventing third party clients from being written for other systems), and has no support for desktop operating systems (laptops are devices too).

On the last point, I suppose mobile-only for messengers is the new normal, but I for one frequently use iMessage and FaceTime from my MacBook in addition to my phone - depending on which device is closer, mainly - so Allo would be a significant downgrade for me. For video calls, laptops have an advantage over phones if there's more than one person on your side of the call, since you can get farther away from the camera to let everyone into the picture, without awkwardly keeping your arm held out horizontally or whatever.

Pah, if facebook is under federal supervision, it's probably ultimately because they weren't friendly enough to government. That Thiel is on its board isn't in itself especially damning of him.

Far worse, then, that he founded surveillance industry contractor Palantir.

Thiel "acknowledges" this, though. That puts in him in the same boat as Soros, who is also good at "acknowledging" the paradoxes of his position even as he instructs governments, in private, exactly which people they should send out to handle a particular situation.

Intercept is billionaire-funded, too - and Greenwald has written at length about "what's wrong with the media" - most of which I agree with, by the way. We won't get away from the billionaires and their meddling. The best we can hope for is that they're stronger when they're right than when they're wrong.

That posting people's private sex tapes is not OK, is one of the ways Thiel is right.

It's bad in many ways he doesn't elucidate. For instance, in a world where your last shreds of privacy can be obliterated by Gawker or Buzzfeed the moment you catch public attention, there will be some winners, and some losers.

Women, on the whole, will lose, because it seems fewer women are willing to sacrifice privacy for power. Gays will lose slightly, because they have more to lose from catching public attention (not so true in the US anymore, fortunately, but still very true in many countries).

Who are the winners?

First, those who can pay an army of publicity experts, and have had it for years to keep an iron grip on their public perception, so that all embarrassments and scandals (real and manufactured) can be managed most efficiently. And, who have very few ambitions or opinions not conductive to seeking power. In short career politicians.

The second type is people who just have no sense of shame, whose egos are so big they can just shrug it all off. Reality TV stars, or something.
