Legal. Studies show that individualized bonuses don't necessarily do much to improve motivation: https://hbr.org/2010/06/youre-getting-a-bonus-so-why-a. Firms generally compete on non-compensation factors: quality of training, quality of work, etc.

I'm not suggesting that pure lockstep will work for everyone. In the legal industry, much of the variation within levels is accounted for in the often black-box "up or out" promotion process. But I think more transparency is good, as is keeping people at the same level around the same compensation. E.g. at Fog Creek, salaries at each level are transparent and the "superstar" bonus is like 10%. I think that's a great model.
The machines have clearly made a deal with the reptilians and infiltrated Stanford. :)

I'm Evan Shaw. I have been writing high performance, scalable backends and RESTful APIs in Go (Golang) for the last five years. I also have strong C and C++ skills, as well as experience with a variety of other languages and technologies. I'm good at diving into and making sense of unfamiliar code bases to add features, optimize, or refactor.

It looks like they already have one for developers, at $7.50/new user: https://developer.lyft.com/docs/affiliate-program
They aren't built in very large numbers. There are maybe a couple dozen commsat launches per year, and they do have fairly different requirements a lot of the time. There are variables like frequency, spot size, transmission and receive power, and whether the satellite does any on-board processing or routing or whether it just acts like a "bent pipe." There is some standardization, but not a whole lot. Economies of scale just don't quite kick in enough yet.

At a former job someone sent a completely inane email asking about something personal to an HR email list or all people in the company, about 21,000 people.

Why does such an email list even exist? For some kind of HR emergency? Aren't there other emergency messaging systems that could be more effective?
'Cruise missile' has always sounded cooler than ballistic missile, imho. But you are 100% correct according to Wikipedia.
Meta - What's the reasoning behind labeling it a '28,000-Word report' as opposed to a page approximation? I find 28,000 words hard to conceptualize compared to pages

Edit - I could have phrased this better. I definitely understand that word count is a more concrete measurement than pages, however it seemed unnecessary to include in the title because length doesn't imply quality and it was hard to conceptualize. The title of this post has since been edited to '100 year study' which I think supports my initial point.

TalkJS | Eindhoven, the Netherlands | ONSITE

We're building a fantastic messaging experience for marketplace sites. Our product is targeted at developers and built on the newest web tech (such as React, ES6, Elixir). Our tech challenges include great API design for our customer's developers, a scalable real-time messaging backend, fantastic design and UX, and most of all writing great code fast with a tiny team.

We're looking for experienced programmers in the Eindhoven region (office at a 5 minute walk from the train station). Unlike many startups we're not ageist and we have sane European working hours. We're a small team and you'll have significant impact on all aspects of the product.

We're particularly interested in experienced people who're on the verge of being promoted into some middle management / "architect" role, but prefer to actually build great software with great programmers and move 4x faster, sustainably, than the average dev team. All that said, if that's not you but you'd like to get there fast, get in touch as well.

Contact info is on our website: https://talkjs.com
From the description, it sounds like Gov't jobs or industries that work closely (Defense contractors, etc). The advantage is rock solid stability. You know what you're getting when you get in, you do some "due paying" and you have excellent long term benefits.

This appeals to a great deal of people that want to use that stability to build their lives, like having kids and a house. The company can rest easy knowing their employees are long-term, thus they can groom and train talent while keeping expenses predictable.

This isn't the most efficient system, but it is designed to last decades or longer.
You should write up a blog post with these and more stuff that works. Lots of OSS developers get overloaded on the projects and dont make money. A useful tool can use tactics like you describe to avoid that. I never thought of the payment processing trick. Good idea.
All companies do this, there is no such thing as a fair wage. (Speaking from experience at a company know to pay well, there are many paid below average that are highly rated).
What immediately follows is rather sobering, too: "No machines with self-sustaining long-term goals and intent have been developed, nor are they likely to be developed in the near future."

JauntVR | Software and Firmware Engineers| Palo Alto, CA | Onsite | Full-time |

Jaunt - /jônt/ - noun - a short journey, especially one taken for pleasure

Background
The idea for Jaunt originated in early 2013 when one of our founders returned from an amazing experience at Zion National Park. What if he could go back there for a brief jaunt, at any time, from any place? The emerging consumer VR industry provides the mechanism to travel to virtual worlds. We aim to put realism back into the virtual reality experience, lending an uncanny sense of presence never before possible with any other technology.

Our Team
We are building an outstanding team of scientists, engineers, and broadcast professionals. Current members hail from Stanford University, Caltech, Java, Apple, Intel, Lucasfilm, Zynga, Condé Nast, News Corp, Nickelodeon, and Netflix.

Jaunt has a global presence, with Jaunt HQ in Palo Alto, Jaunt Studios in Los Angeles, EMEA Business Offices in London, European Engineering and Development Hub in Amsterdam, and Jaunt China based in Shanghai.

Option 3 has been on my mind, but the third-parties need to support it. I'd think it'd be in their best interests to do so, if not require it. Adobe Analytics for sure allows you create a CNAME and will even provide a free cert.

Here we see a sixteenth century rendering of the brothers Mario with their shadow counterparts illustrated. The crown placed above Waluigi depicts the then nascent understanding that society must irrevocably trend toward its own consecration of power into nothing. More Borges than Barthes, Waluigi does not deconstruct his counterpart. He IS the labyrinth.
Just an FYI: I just found this (http://www.phpthewrongway.com/) article floating around, really helpful in sort of realizing, everyone could be wrong.
> Please suggest alternatives - that actually work.

AFAIK, the only languages that fully express the computational meaning formally with types are the dependently typed ones. AFAIK, there has been exactly one non-trivial real-world program written in such a language, and its author wasn't too pleased with the process (I'm referring to CompCert and Xavier Leroy). Every other program in every other languages has most of its meaning expressed informally, in the mind of the programmer. Unless you believe that no programs work, then nearly all programs that do express most of their meaning informally.

> Too much nonsense has been said as a result of not formalizing things.

Formalizing things doesn't imbue them with good sense. You can state plenty of nonsense formally. The only thing you're guaranteed is that it's consistent nonsense, and, as someone said on one of my favorite TV shows, "The sole virtue of the ineffectual is consistency".

> Which tool satisfies the following criteria? ...

TLA+, and far more elegantly and simply than any typed language you've seen.

What's the significance behind # pages? Are they double-spaced; 10pt font?

All I would care about is quality... not length. The latter seems like a carryover from shitty homework assignments.
At my company, certain lists can only be used by certain people to prevent exactly this sort of thing.
Frequently data produced by hand (by developers writing the tests) or randomly generated (by something like quickcheck) does not have all the edge cases you would encounter in real data.

So there is some justification to having real data available - this is why in the finance space at least developer machines have relatively stringent restrictions placed on them compared to a lot of other organisations.
I think it's mostly that users are more sophisticated although there are also tools to mute threads (and to fold messages into threads in the first place), etc. which may help on the margins. Admins are also probably a bit smarter in setting mailing list defaults and, in at least some cases, setting up filters for certain lists.
The concept has appeal.

That app seems to break in Safari. Clicking many of the links seems to start the video over if it hasn't fully loaded yet, which is a confusing experience.

It's unclear on the page that there's no visual indication (within sight) that clicking in the text is doing something.
This kind of thing is exactly why I put up with the hassles of running Little Snitch.
The article says "Another unvarying element of the Google Translate versions is the word "boat" for barco, a perfectly correct rendering of a simple Spanish noun. But in English, we have the expression, "When my ship comes in," ... Translating barco as "ship" brings an echo of that deep history of longing into our first, fleeting image of the narrator, Don Diego de Zama, who lives in the hope of a ship that will come to save him."

This sounds rather grandiloquent to me.

But more significantly, my father was the captain of a ship. One of his pet peeves was people mistakenly interchanging the words "boat" and "ship". The two terms are not equivalent (boat being a small vessel, and ship being a large vessel that might even be expected to carry a boat of its own, viz, a lifeboat). If he heard that human translator taking liberties with his nautical vocabulary, he'd have a cow.

So do we want Google to translate more accurately, or do we want it to strive for a literary flair?
I did indeed give it a trail run on all its modes Rancher/Kubernates/Docker swarm however I didnt feel like its production ready yet but it is certainly interesting.
You're both correct. I hope they find a solution to fix the utterly broken garbage that captive portals are: Every "portal" is different and complete prevents automated internet access. I hope this gets fixed somehow, although I don't have high hopes: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/capport/charter/
Yeah, saw a motherboard like this a couple of years back when I was helping a friend build a new PC. We couldn't get it to boot even to the BIOS and started looking for the POST codes. There weren't even pins to attach a speaker to, just nubs on the board. Nor was there any sort of LED indicator. I ended up having to read the POST codes using a multimeter. That was a fun day.
Quite possibly, but converting hidden talent into money isn't straightforward.

What to Expect from Hurricane Hermine
Here, we don't talk about the product itself, as a whole. We talk about its kernel.

Sure thing, if I don't have access to the kernel, then it's all irrelevant. We only consider the cases when the device is actually hackable (despite whatever its vendor says).
Actually, that’s not true.

For the mid-size launches that SpaceX is billing 62m$ for, Ariane bills 60m$ for.

What Arianespace offers at 130m$ is instead something SpaceX isn’t even offering currently, as their second stage is far inferior to Ariane’s.

(Ariane always bundles a 130m$ and 60m$ contract per launch together).

If SpaceX can relaunch the rockets multiple times, that might reduce the cost indeed, but they also have far increased labor costs up ahead, as they can’t keep everyone working overtime for free forever.
Well, that explains it! :)
SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / Las Vegas area

I've been big on python testing lately. I've implemented testing for large python projects at two companies now, bring them from 0% coverage to 100% coverage. I'm well versed on mocking tools to isolate components for testing, make tests deterministic, and remove the need for networking (who wants to run tests that rely on third party things).

I've been a remote worker for about half a decade now, so I had a track record of getting things done without direct supervision. I'm also available for other work. I'm a generalist with a vast amount of experience working with web technologies. I am capable of doing system admin and orchestration (ansible is my favorite), backend code (I prefer django and tornado) and frontend UI work (who isn't using react nowadays).

Well damn I stand corrected. I couldn't find this information at all on the pages linked from the blog. Not sure if it's a huge omission or I just completely missed it. I'll have to re-check it in a bit.
Alternatively just use unix domain sockets. That way only locally running programs can access your service. Random ports sounds like security through obscurity (which might work from time to time).
Isn't it a bit displaced to bitch about ads in apps in a thread which is about a topic which is about how developers need time and effort just to keep apps in the store.

If you have so much problem with ads than just use only apps which cost money. The free ones are to 99% funded by ads or by using your personal data. There is nothing like a free lunch in a store.
There are many standard components, though satellites are low-enough volume that almost nothing is really "off the shelf". The custom bits and integration are plenty of work (and time) in themselves.

That's the pickle employers that provide training to their employees face that aren't in this setup. The company spends money on training their employees and then the employees, being a more valuable asset, also want more money. So now companies are damned if they train and damned if they don't.
