tl;dr: When dropbox asks for your admin password it stores it in it's own cache to keep having access and perform admin-level tasks.

It's not a hack, it's you giving away your credentials on a screen that's designed to look like a system password prompt.

A Dark UI pattern at most, and a security leak whenever someone hacks the dropbox auth storage. Not a hack, just clickbait.
I worked in public-facing positions enough to talk to hundreds to thousands of women about their jobs, life, and such. I'm even in the South where higher percentage supports so-called traditional families where marriage is important. Vast majority of women I've met both work and got married. Many of them work ridiculously hard. A subset are stay at home mom's or married for money. They're less common to rare dependinv on area I was in.

So, my areas are where your statement had better chance of being true but was still wrong and sexist with a sample size of 1000+. Most women try to have a good job where they get stuff done with desirable pay and environment. Like the men do.
> Google wouldn't hire someone to manage their datacenter with no previous experience managing anything like it.

That's exactly what they do. The interviews test for basic skills — an understanding of TCP/IP, unix, programming ability and intelligence — and all the rest is on-the-job training.
Soon, people will start to realize that for actual information, news, and debate, you have to venture outside of Facebook, just like you have to venture outside of TV for those things currently in the US (not a single actual news program available on broadcast or cable but plenty of "News" entertainment programs). Otherwise you're just processing mindless drivel that you already agree with and that you already know. Which is exactly the state of being Zuckerberg and other people trying to push garbage products onto people prefer. Until then, our society will probably just keep pretending that Facebook is something other than brain junk food because most people don't want to admit to themselves that they are being controlled and manipulated, and most people simply just don't give a fuck about news, history, historical photos, or anything beyond petty celebrity gossip or other such nonsense (that's why those things are pulled from timelines).
If you're over 60 and still writing code, then you've seen pretty much every new flavor of the month twice already. You were around the first and second times everybody thought promises were the future, functional programming already had a resurgence or two, and so on.

It's not that you don't understand the bleeding edge tech, it's that you've seen this pattern play out so many times it's hard to look at it as more than just another programming tool.
because it also effects those being discriminated against. At the very least that couple had to put up with another fresh dose of hatred and bigotry against them, and spend their time looking for another baker.

Depending on how bad the problem is you could end up with ghettos and other nasty things because of people who aren't able to get any sort of service.
That is perhaps the hourly wage if you do the math, but it isn't that black and white.

The higher pay let's you save more for retirement, let's you afford a better school for your kids, a home in a nicer neighborhood, etc. There are trade offs.

Interesting, just received a 1.5.1 update. I wonder what happened to result in such a quick release. (Nothing in the release notes.)

Another fun fact: this actually happens with (cell) phone calls.

You don't send your speech over the line, instead you send some parameters over the line which are then, at the receiving end, fed into a white(-ish) noise generator to recover the speech.

Edit: not by using a neural net or deep learning, of course.
IANAL but some basic common sense stuff:

* Do this on your own time. Maintain separation and document as necessary

* Make sure that you did not sign anything as part of your employment agreement that claims ownership over your ideas, thoughts, inventions, data etc. outside of working hours

* Do not use any company resources

You are in Marks living room. He has asked you not to bring certain kinds of photos to his place. You did anyway so he took the photo from you. You brought another copy the next time. Now he is getting angry with you.

Maybe you should meet at your place in the future? Or maybe you shouldn't be friends with Mark at all.
I'd be curious what percentage accept/reject on the spot, but I'd never ask a candidate to provide an answer either way if you present an offer right away. It's too important a decision for them not to at least take the night (especially after a day of interviews, a flight/hotel stay, an impending flight home). Even suggesting an immediate answer feels salesy ('whaddya think?'), and I'd think we'd see better results by presenting the offer and saying "take this home with you and get back to us when you're ready".

This approach should also tend to reduce counteroffer acceptances or accept/renege scenarios.
Same issue with setup.exe on Windows. I wonder if I could use machine learning to organise my downloads folder...
Several people on the vscode team (including myself) miss this feature so I'm sure it will come eventually. Also we deprecated user voice recently, the issue is now tracked in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/101
Spin up a second database VM and point a fresh frontend VM at it. Then atomically switch the frontend VM like I was describing before.

If that doesn't work come up with some kind, any kind, of rollback solution. There is no server problem that cannot have a rollback solution made for it.

Some places are cheap and would rather just upgrade in place in the middle of the night. Those places are cheap and bad at engineering. Do not work for or do business with them if you actually care about uptime.

They're probably not being intentionally ageist. My guess is that the differences in sense of humor, lack of desire to hang out with coworkers, and other social differences just make them seem like unappealing "culture" fits.

And it's true, if you're just hiring for people you can also hang out with and you're in your 20's, of course you won't like them.

At some point you get the revelation that people have their own lives and there is a social relationship along the lines of "we work together but I'm otherwise not interested in you," and that this is actually a very common and viable type of social relationship.
Yes! Just started full time work and I have little enough free time as it is. But I've been very stressed the past couple of months so maybe it will be alright to unwind for a couple weeks or so after work. I might download it during the weekend, heard too many good things about Witcher 3.

By all means -- skim the resumes first, and pull out all 5-pagers and other immediate fail cases (which are generally easy to spot). And save your reading skills for the 15% or so which might have something worth your time. That's what I meant.
Thats a nice way to start a flame war: hinting that vi and emacs are subpar tools.
Congratulations on the release. I used VSC for a Typescript class.

While VSC, JetBrains IDEs, etc. are very nice, I have been going back to my late 1970s roots and been enjoying Emacs. Great language support for Haskell, lisps, etc. And very responsive.
You can argue the gaming subculture shouldn't care what people outside of it think, but it's too often been picked on and used as a scapegoat for societal ills.

I don't think gaming has been a specific target of moral panic for 10-15 years. It's far too engrained in our culture, now. I'd argue the Internet has taken its place in that respect.

Hell, I'd say the pervasive belief that gaming is somehow under attack is the exact kind of victimhood you're talking about.

Gaming is accepted. It's here. It may not be taken seriously by some, but to that I repeat: who cares?
Didn't know this was a thing. Can you explain why it would be a problem?
Is it up to me to actually find a way to watch the movie? The embedded trailers aren't labeled as such and my first thought was that these movies were all available on youtube.. Looks cool!
For majority I interviewed, it provided the women an extra job on top of a 9a-5p or crazy-scheduled job with pay varying from crap to good. A very, small number coild trade one for the other. On rare occasions, roles reversed with the guy being a stay at home dad or using a well-off woman to avoid full-time (or any work lol).
Or use an escrow service / middleman that people trust.

Bitcoin transfers aren't the problem here. Its transferring money to a trusted 3rd party, and then that 3rd party transferring the money forward (or back) once the items are confirmed to be transferred.

The problem then becomes dispute resolution. Even priority mail can be faked. Close the envelope with fake cards or whatever... so no matter what, dispute resolution becomes the limiting factor.

But a trusted middleman using a protocol that is hard to fake with harsh penalties on the scammers that do break the protocol is the answer.

Once you have an engineering job, a typical project tasking involves: some team design discussion, some engineering research, some work, some review, more work. The requirements are either known upfront, or determined as a team.

I do not understand why interviews are not conducted in this manner. Pick some arbitrary idea and have the candidate work with the interviewer to design something, then let the candidate do a little implementation research/design, review with the next interviewer, wipeboard code and review some part of the project with next reviewer. Have a coffee break at some point to get to know the person. Treat the interview process like a normal day at work.
Point A is especially important. I quit four years ago, and I constantly get bombarded by people trying to get me to come back onto it. I have a few friends who've resisted and never gotten an account, but they are also constantly goaded about it.
If you, as an AOO contributor, prefer the Apache license and you want to contribute to that project is fine, that's your free choice :)

What I'm worried about is the end user, the one who only knows "openoffice is the alternative to ms office", and is stuck with an unmaintained product.

A person I know told me a few months ago "Hey, openoffice don't render square roots in an acceptable way, should I go back to ms office?", and I had to explain he was using a mostly-abandoned software and he should switch to libreoffice because that bug was fixed months ago in there.

You're maintaining a software for end users, not for the HN population: they don't care about the Apache license or the GPL, but they care to have a working piece of software :)

I really hope the OOo trademark is handed to TDF, not because of license wars, but because that's the better thing for the users of AOO/LO.
It originally seemed like an exaggerated portrayal of Bernie Sanders.
This is a low-quality article, IMHO, and the title is click-bait-ish. Yes, if you don't check your array sizes for overflow, and your pointers for NULL, your C code can crash. But Klokwork (for one) has been able to detect that stuff for several years.

Does the article give any concrete examples of failures in rockets from this? No, just "If I create a ridiculously large array index, and use it to access an array that isn't that big, the program crashes. No wonder rockets crash!" That's... not very impressive.
On the other hand, the site managed to tell me in a sensible way to enable Javascript (blocked with Noscript), instead of failing incomprehensibly like most websites do. So this is one good point for them, I'd say!
Apigee has a lot of smart engineers working on nodejs based open source projects and contributing to OpenApi spec (fka Swagger). Good to see that Chet K chose Google to acquire these talented engineers. And ofcourse the Apigee community is A++.

Climate change is one of the most interesting issues in politics because of how pure and overt the motivations of the opposition are.

It's so hilarious to me that you can have a politician with major donations from Coal/Fossil Fuels try to legitimately discredit a trend that 98% of the scientists in this field have agreed is proven by data. I also can't think of another issue where 98% of experts in a field have empirically demonstrated with data that trends are occurring, yet we're still allowed to just "believe" or "not believe" in its occurrence.

>Melting permafrost in tundra regions like Alaska releases methane: more warming

If it makes you feel any better, the methane disperses in about 12 years. So a bunch of animals will become extinct and then 12 years later everything will go back to normal!

Yeah it doesn't make me feel good either.
I read this in July. I am sure that the Future work section has been better explained. The main code is the same.

You basically want a Nexus or a Moto X device.

"The technical engine behind it is better, but the UX for using it on a locked phone isn't good"

The OK Google thing on completely locked device has been working on Moto phones (and later Nexus devices) way before hands-free "Hey Siri" thing became generally usable on untethered iPhone 6s last year (at long last).

And calling the incredible functionality of Google Now as "better technical engine" is quite an understatement. If iOS had this service integrated behind it, the entire world would be plastered with TV ads 24x7 calling out this "Magical" experience. Instead Apple's best effort is Siri, which works so well that this entire subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Siri/) is mostly devoted to Siri's hilarious fuck-ups. That's the reason you don't really see much marketing about Siri anymore. Instead the focus has shifted mostly on hardwares... especially the camera (which is indeed amazing).

Is there any usable example code out there I can play with? I don't care if it sounds noisy and weird, it's all grist for the sampler anyway.
Very true. Some well known companies, like Google, still have more applicants than jobs, and so they need to filter people out. Most companies have the opposite problem - they need to attract people. This shift means that the interview process has to be re-thought.
It seems that the analogy breaks down badly when the "private property" is treated 99.9% of the time as a public property, and the entire world is invited (except for those with important political messages that don't go well with advertising).

I'm not saying Facebook isn't Mark's to do with as he pleases, but... something isn't right here.
Two quick points:

1. I like the blog post. It may sound similar to the methodology in Lean startup, Y Combinator, and a bunch of other stuff but so what. It is clearly written and specific.

2. I have no idea what ladder.io does! I looked at the web page, and it is very slick, but I still can't figure out what you do.

Quite a difference.

You have a "real time tactic database". Is that the same as a listicle on the top 5 areas to spend marketing $?

You offer continuous testing. Is that Google Analytics?
I understand that picture very well. Thanks for bringing it up.

I really think equality of opportunity should exist beyond social lines like gender, race, disabilities etc.

But equality of outcome? Why? Why should everyone have equal outcome? What is the reward for hard work then? Why be a good person if being a bad one will bring the same outcome?

When everyone starts with the same opportunities, the hardworker, smartworker, dedicated, persistent deserves more than the lazy, douchebag, not dedicated, not doing something themselves and always wanting others to do things for them. Don't you agree?

"The Library of Alexandria, ultimately consisted of approximately 500,000 scrolls."

And about as many opinion pieces discussing whether that counted as Big Data.
There's also positive feedback loops when it comes to opposition of the very idea that the warming exists.

When one politician pushes the idea hard, when people show interest in it, there's an incentive for other politicians to double down on their positions or push even farther to more extreme levels of denial.

Plus, voters who strongly identify with a party that promotes that platform may find themselves pulled along, wanting to be in line with the party's politics, and in so doing skew things even further.

Of course, not all poor people were confined to the city. As you say, some came from a village where they still had relatives... who were not going to be very happy when a walking disease vector showed up from London and recent exposure to the Great Plague, even if he had a few pennies to contribute to his upkeep.

Many were, however, unable to leave because they had nowhere to go. Many came from families that had been in the city for generations and now had no contact with their ancestral villages. There was no Facebook or telephones, and poor people could usually neither write nor afford postage even if they could write. Moreover, families were frequently fractured. Unwanted children were simply turned out into the street, or they might wind up there when their parents died. They then had no clue who their relatives were or what village they'd come from.

Classical medieval serfdom had largely died out by the 17th century in England, but the villages were still often grindingly poor. There wasn't enough food to feed the (poor) people who lived there normally. Even during normal times, some penniless distant cousin showing up from London would often be despised as yet another mouth to feed (which is why they'd moved to the city in the first place.)

Many others just couldn't afford the trip. The sheer level of extreme poverty in which most Londoners lived at the time is hard to imagine for westerners today. Travel itself was expensive and dangerous during normal times, even for those who had some place to go. The plague made it more expensive and more dangerous.

For bottom-rung workers ekeing out a marginal sub-subsistence existence, for people who went hungry several days each week anyway during the best times, hiring a horse was out of the question. Their only option was to walk, perhaps for weeks, with whatever food and money they could carry. Poor people (read: almost everyone) had no access to banking services, so if they lost that money, they were screwed. (This wasn't a problem for most, as they didn't have any money to begin with.)

They not only faced highway robbery at every turn, but hostile peasants. No rural village was opening its arms to take in people who had just come directly from plague-ridden London. Such people were seen as dangerous threats, walking disease vectors likely to infect the whole town and kill everyone if they were not immediately driven off.

Wealthy people, by contrast, had horses, carriages, servants, guards, private food stores, and gated country estates.
We recently improved this for Linux, the latest .rpm package for example is now named code-1.5.1-1473370243.el7.x86_64.rpm. This is a good suggestion, I created an issue :) https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11722
It'd be even nicer if people stopped being so judgemental that they no longer judge people's unrevealed thoughts and instead base their opinion on actions. Because telling people they have a secret and unknown racist/misogynist hiding inside them guiding them covertly is probably never gonna convince anybody to change their mind.
It's still mostly a social networking site, and to the extent "serious" content threatens the social networking aspect, Facebook has an interest in placing limits.
That could be twelve years of utterly apocalyptic weather we might not survive. Just saying. Nobody knows how bad that could get, but do you think we could survive over a decade where the outdoor temperature is, on average, 200°F?

One of those animals could be the human species, or at least our idea of what that represents.
That was my first thought, too. For a day, though, it's kind of cool. (And, I'm not sure that the CO would be worse than driving for hours on the freeways...)

What if I said I was pro-global warming....

I am buying property that will be at or around beach level when all the ice melts. In the mean time just a couple of houses and I rent them out reasonably. But in time when all the snow stops and the climate here is subtropical the warm waters of the bay of Texas will lap onto the shores of what are hills today. And the property will have increase many-fold. These properties will have been netting me and my family money the entire time.

It's also interesting because of how important it is. If people didn't believe the Earth was round or that smoking causes cancer, it would be sad and ridiculous but it wouldn't have a huge impact. Lots more lung cancer and heart disease deaths for the second one, but life goes on.

But this is one of the few issues where convincing people it's real makes a huge difference for our civilization. It's crazy (but perhaps also expected) that it's also one of the few issues where the scientific conclusion is simply not accepted by so many.
