My company is also using 1Password for Teams, but found it surprisingly hard to get everyone to use the same naming scheme. At my company there are few existing 1Password users (personal license) who already maintain a large database of passwords. Then someone link team vault to their 1Password. Open the All Vaults view. OCD kicks in. Chaos ensues.

I recently ran across this piece, "Literate programming: Knuth is doing it wrong", whose author contends that

> the ends are insufficiently ambitious by focusing on a passive representation [0]

After practicing literate programming seriously for over a year on a large project, I believe that our notion of documents themselves is insufficiently ambitious, for the same reason.

Computer-based media should not be limited to the static forms imposed by paper. It's unfair to critique literate programming per se until we have a truly dynamic mode of representation. (edit, yes, technically we have that now, but it's an order of magnitude more work to create. I'm saying that live, dynamic representations should be our tool for thinking, building, and writing about things in the first place, not after the fact.)

HACKERS STOLE ACCOUNT DETAILS FOR OVER 60 MILLION DROPBOX USERS
There is an active market for iridium phone rentals for hiking/backpacking purposes, so they do get active use by civilians. Additionally in places like Alaska many people who live in remote areas have an iridium phone in as there is no cell coverage.
Ah very nice! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Couple questions.

The "good" lawyers should start taking some responsibility for the shit lawyers like "Marc Bern" mentioned in TFA. Law is still considered a profession, by some people anyway. Physicians don't let other physicians sell snake oil; why are lawyers and judges comfortable doing that?

However the "good" lawyers in this case are also scumbags. On an open-and-shut case like this, in which the plaintiffs spent $22k on expert testimony, how is it reasonable for the defense to spend $500k? It isn't clear from TFA that defense expenses will have to be paid for the state-level suit, but if so most of that should be thrown out. If in fact the federal judge doesn't throw out most of the apparently >$700k federal expenses, the two explanations for that would be corruption (of course) and a fit of pique against the intransigent four for not respecting his authoritay.

Incidentally TFA is a mess. Why does it use the defense expenses for the state trial to calculate what the federal plaintiffs will have to pay?
TempleOS: SimStructure
Yes. I think there is a good analogy to be made with spicy foods. I enjoy spicy foods, but I developed a taste for them over the years and the "natural high" induced by eating them. As a particular example, I remember absolutely hating the flavor of crushed red pepper, but now I can't get enough of the stuff.

Of course, once you've developed a taste, then you might seek out foods that balance spice with flavor, and you appreciate novel interplays between the two --- in the same way that a consumer of alcohol might seek out a variety of beer, wine, or liquor that balances flavor and alcohol content.
Which would be a relevant point if we were discussing whether it's "good" because it's "natural." But here the point is simply that it's "not artificial" because its "natural."

We use RatticDB[1] which is a bit bare-bones (all the passwords are stored plaintext in a database) but does the job well enough (audit logs and credential groups with view/edit permissions).

It's less slick than commercial solutions like LastPass, but it's cheaper, and outside of proper authorisation models in web applications, which Facebook does well, it's all just copy-pasting passwords with more obfuscation.

You'd think that with so many engineers and so much love for brands Twitter could at least develop a proper concept of shared accounts, so I wouldn't have to venture into some deep dark settings menu to tweet from a company account instead of my personal one.

I was just thinking about how aggravating it must be from the POV of someone who used to fly a lot. If I was still flying twice a week consulting I'd be livid. If I was perma-SSSS'd. I'm sure he's under far more vigilant security scrutinization--I mean even pre-9/11 DEFCON had 'spot the fed' games as a lark because they were so obvious.

Most of the major conferences I'm sure have attendees listed (not a new practice - post-McCarthy's 'red scare' made it acceptable for both federal/local LEO to monitor protestors - but I'm sure it's way easier now and this dude basically painted a target on his body.)
I tend to trust people i work with slightly more then random people on the internet i don't know. (almost tempted to explain how to avoid your 'issue' but then i'd be sharing what i warn against myself people should not share).

There probably also is a sticker on your frontdoor that says spare-key under the 2nd fake rock? Because any disgruntled visitor or family member you had might post that on Facebook anyway? Same principle applies, there is no benefit in having the public know this. Though when you did have a fight or disagreement with that visitor or family member you have chance to relocate the spare-key before that information is disclosed on their Facebook page.

So besides the negative effects i described, what good could come from posting your company (not yours to decide to share anyway) policy regarding login credentials?

Also i'd advice to check up on your contract what it says about sharing company policies and or secrets to 3rd parties (this site for example), before doing so. Because chances are somebodies' boss considers the credential policy as something that should be kept in-house and not public and made a point of this in his/her contract. No matter what you or i think about it, if they can argue you 'potentially hurt' the company you are screwed.
For this reason, and others (version control, backups), I think we need to move to key authentication, ring of trust, etc.

It seems like all the high paying companies are going after the same set of developer. Those guys who have passed the all day whiteboard interview or work at google/facebook etc. If you you look at H1B data the salaries in markets other than NY, SF are not high.

I don't often play games on my phone but the video of the game play reminded me of times and quarters spent in arcades years ago...anyway, it sounds like there could be an interesting story about quitting a job and making a game behind it. And it's probably more interesting than many because there's actually a game at the end of it now and many real-time stories that begin with quitting a job just sort of peter out as projects.

Anyway, if the plan is to write about the next game, writing about this one retrospectively might be a way to develop a following up front.

Good luck.

> Then one plaintiff rejected the deal. Her suffering had been profound: Her child was killed in the shooting, she was left paralyzed and the baby she was carrying had been lost.

I'm curious if she rejected the settlement—and (presumably) stayed on the case—because she thought they would win? Or because she thought shooting victims owing the theater $700k would be a bigger black mark against Cinemark, than it settling for $150k?

A $150k settlement makes it sound like Cinemark wasn't at fault and they settled for a pittance to make it go away (which is true); having the shooting victims owe it $700k sounds like an injustice. I certainly doubt Cinemark wants the results of this case to be widely publicized. It's not like they're ever going to receive even a fraction of that $700k anyway.

I uninstalled the Facebook app from my phone when it kept trying to push Messenger on me. I only use the webclient these days.

This bolsters my resolve to keep that app off my phone. You know, it doesn't bother me too much to have companies like Google analyzing my email to send targeted ads because I assume that information is not going to get out to the public. Facebook is a different case because there's a bidirectional flow of private information. It is a HUGE privacy concern (especially as someone that will be a physician in a few years).

I can't believe "fail" has become the standard noun instead of failure. It started as a lolcatism and now is standard.

The most useful application I saw published was its use for protein folding simulations. Not sure how far they ended up going with this.
I'm not implying anything, but speaking from first-hand experience. As a foreign engineer who got decent education outside of US for free and then came over on H1B, I did have clear advantage over my US counterparts. I had no student loans to service, so could afford to accept a lower salary and get the same disposable income.

There is no labor scarcity issue. I switched fields away from software engineering but if you pay me enough, can switch back just as easily. It's not rocket science.
That was the bit that made me really facepalm. It's one thing to compare to something more familiar but it's sorta sad when you need to use Google or something like that to explain what a "moonshot program" is in reference to NASA.
Alcohol is physically addictive, certainly. Withdrawal can kill people with a particularly bad habit.

It may not be addictive in an identical way to heroin, but it is addictive, much more so than the other two you mention.

I used to use https://spamgourmet.com and was quite happy. You can create email addresses on the fly without doing anything in their UI: alias.number.account@spam gourmet.com.

I seem to recall an option to remove the numerical limit, too - once you trust the place you gave your address to.

Sega has had many many great video games and revolutionized video game industry in its hay day with games like; Virtua Racing(first 3d racer),Virtua Fighter(first 3d fighter and recognized by the Smithsonian)

To think Shenmue was originally developed with the Saturn in mind also just shows how brilliant Yu Suzuki.

Other great games were, NiGHTS into Dreams, Burning Ranges, Panzer Dragoon series, and the list goes on.. These games now were in the Saturn Era though and I am not saying the Super wasn't a great console. I owned one and had great fun with Donkey Kong and Mario games.
The Genesis is the only Sega console I dont own.
A while ago I searched on the data, the majority H1Bs are from India and China. China took about 12%, most of them are graduated in USA, India had about 47% of all the H1B visas, most of them are from India and were put under India's consulting companies. The current lottery system for H1B might have changed that situation a bit, as it might be able to prevent possible abuse.

> In an overview of fair division applications published in Nautilus, science writer Erica Klarreich offers one such example. In the event of the contentious breakup of a marriage or relationship, the algorithm, which Ring and Brams call “Fair Buy-Sell” requires each partner to simultaneously propose a price.

> “If John proposes $110,000 and Jane proposes $100,000 then John, the higher bidder, will buy out Jane for $105,000,” explains Klarreich. “Each participant ends up with something—either money or the business—at a price that is better than his or her offer.”

I'm curious how that would work in a marriage, given that the couple's assets are generally commingled (how can I spend our assets to pay you for our assets?).

I think that'd work better when the husband & wife each have their own personal assets, and only the common property is held in common.
The fact that it may or may not work is hardly a reason to not spend tax dollars on it... the government sends lots of money towards academic research and other scientific projects that individually have a low chance of amounting to much.

- Yes, can examine and consumes gas.

- It becomes your tile.

- You can move only "life tiles", those with an asteriks, the 5 you have been allocated.

- Limited by the gas you have been allocated at this round. Careful, though, if you exceed the amount of gas allocated, your actions are reverted. 10 rounds is more of an example. An actual game would have more I believe.

From your article, it certainly does seem like injected powder cocaine and smoked crack cocaine are about the same on the body. And you can trivially make crack from powdered cocaine.

> If they're funding something, there's a good reason.

Capitalism is amoral. There is only necessarily a reason. I would say it must be a financial reason, but it's actually not necessarily even a rational reason.

I know it's not always popular around here, but sometimes when ethics and morals conflict with money and power, the problem needs to be solved by regulation. This is hard.
The salaries listed for a senior programmer that gauge how much H1Bs are paid are obnoxiously low. Last time I looked, I was shocked. When the average salaries listed are lower than anyone other than junior programmers, they get H1Bs for cheaper. Also, the companies can hire a person as a front line support and pay them accordingly, but actually have them doing system development or design.

Big businesses in the macro sense, seem willing to do anything to cheat the system to drive down costs and subsequently wages.

I do think raising the cap will help.

(though you can elect to have an LLC taxed as a corporation, which may be advantageous in certain situations)

This is really the crux of what I was trying to understand...thank you for catching that. Can you expand on this as to why it is advantageous to be taxed as a corporation? Tax rates for corporations all are higher than personal tax rates. I assume the 15% self-employment tax is the difference, or is there more?

How much does your team get into actual Erlang/OTP code? I'm wondering since I'm taking the long route, learning Erlang/OTP first and a distinct second for Elixir. Is this not optimal?
Thank you for writing this essay, Bill. I've been wanting to write a post like this for a long time, but you've stated my thoughts so clearly, I will just send this link.
What I find amusing about this is that raw receives are actually kind of frowned upon in the Erlang community, but the creator is still using them, and the language is still kind of beautiful and cool.

This isn't in any way to talk negative about Joe Armstrong or Erlang, but more to show how cool the language is: even non-idiomatic code scales and is wonderful.

Fun is in the eye of the beholder. I'm worried that Elixir will take off because it's "hip" and ruin the chances for other people to use a pure and consistent language (Erlang) at work.

It is amazing what kind of middleware bloat is forced unto people these days.
I wonder about a variation of this for companies that would reduce the taxable revenue of companies by the amount spent on salary + benefits of citizens, but not by H1B.
FizzBuzz should take 5 minutes for a senior dev (where the python example in the article is essentially the "correct" answer).

Not sure why you're being down voted, your comment is fine I think.

What's worse than having specific parsers, transformers, and generators – I think – is not having an AST standard. If there was a common standard for ES ASTs, including extension points, then it becomes a lot easier to write tools that aren't specific to a tool chain but specific to a data structure. I could use the Babylon parser, but do transforms with Rollup and optimizations with Uglify (obviously provided those tools had APIs that take/return ASTs.)

As it stands, there's a varying degree of lock-in when using these tools, making them more difficult to compose. That's a shame I think.
Sorry but I worked in a variety of non tipped customer service jobs and I was always polite even when abused because that was my job. If I didn't do my job I would lose my job. It's really not all that draining either. I can't imagine requiring bribes, oh sorry, tips, to do my job.

The biggest difference in customer service in all the establishments I've worked in was management. Training is extremely important and can't be winged, there has to be a procedure in place. Having the highest expectations of your employees and component staffing are a must. And don't be scared to fire anyone who is not meeting your standards.

Poor customer service is mostly a result of poor management. Good customer service is a result of good management.

Anyway over friendly servers make me very, very uncomfortable. I went out for food with my companions not for a social experience with a stranger.
Of course there is scarcity - not everyone has as many software engineers as they want. That's true even if people who left software come back.

Again, you ignore the fact that if an Americans wants a cheap foreign education, they can buy one. The difference between $0 in loans and $5000 in loans is negligible.

Yeah, I started looking around the market for smart watches recently and a Pebble seemed like the only realistic option. Does the notifications perfectly, uses an eink display so you get maxed out battery life and don't have to do obnoxious things like tap your watch to see the time and the price is very right. Look at the price on most Android Wear watches or an Apple Watch and Pebble seems like a steal, especially when they go on sale for $150 for a Pebble Time. Pretty happy with the purchase so far.

You are absolutely right. The people who make those decisions aren't paid for quality, they are paid to cut costs. They will offshore their entire departments, get a huge bonus, then cut and run to do it to the next company before it all comes crashing down.

There are success stories, but those success stories of H1B aren't the ones that pay bare minimum. Companies who pay top dollar for H1B get the great ones. The companies who pay bottom dollar get shut down in 5 years.

You'd figure after 20+ years of this, executives would learn, but they don't care to. They are incentivized for precisely what they do.
