> I don't understand why a new app if this could just be an additional feature in the current app.

Its a ground-up rewrite of the app with a very different experience focus and for a different audience. It wouldn't make much sense as a feature of the existing app.
Non-profit does not mean charity, though it can. If the non-profit is well funded then there's not necessarily a reason that employees ought to make direct donations via their paycheck.

None of which is to say that a particular individual might not wish to take a position with a particular non-profit that pays less than market rate for a variety of reasons. Only that non-profits often pay full market rate for development [in the context of donors] and fund-raising and administrative staff as well as for services and goods from outside organizations.

Good luck.
I bought a wireless colour Brother laser printer in 2010. I basically don't touch it except when something needs printing. No cleaning, no maintenance. Still has the original toner cartridges, still works great and prints instantly. Works with basically any OS trivially; it even supports lpd, so it should theoretically work with anything as recent as Version 6 AT&T UNIX, but I don't know anyone with a UNIX system from 1975 so I haven't been able to test that theory.

I'd be concerned about going over the lease's mileage limits. Most people that have rented my car on GetAround use it for trips to drive all the way to Sausolito or to Big Sur.

If I were leasing my car, it would've gone over in a few months.

I don't know much about this, but I wasn't good at studying.

I'm totally living for development and everything to do with it, but most of the formal stuff completely eluded me.

I failed every math lecture at least once.

Because of my projects and thesis I still finished with a 2,7 which isn't good but also not really bad. Maybe I would have been one of those "college-dropouts who followed their dream" if companies in Germany didn't look so much on your degrees.

Also I never had the impression our grades were bimodal.

Yes about 40% dopped out and yes there were a few "eager beavers", but most were simply okay enough to finish their degrees.
it's really about variables, names and references, not nouns.

WhatsApp users were estimated to have a seven year useful life at the time of their sale. Facebook will want a profit on them, but if the estimate was accurate, there are only five years left until they are used up.

Laser printers are the way to go.

I finally, after 12 years, bought my first cartridge for my Lexmark personal laser printer. The only other things I've had to do to this printer are refill the paper tray and use some Rubber Renue[0] on the rubber bits that pick the paper up.

This printer spends most of its time idle and goes months without printing anything, yet whenever I hit print it wakes up and prints a page. There's no worry about drying ink or clogging print heads or wasting half your ink to the self-cleaning cycles.

It’s a step in the right direction supporting offline first, encouraging to see this.

But I’m also a little disappointed it’s a separate app, and country specific from what I can determine. It would be great to see this rolled into the current app without restriction.

Could you elaborate on that? I don't have Snapchat. From what I know it's just a chat app to send self-destructing messages and pictures.
The main issue with FirefoxOS was the performance(of the devices and perhaps also the OS itself). I had the first firefox phones(I think the brand was ZTE) and they were basically rubbish(i.e. they had a 1sec or more lag). I would take a Nokia 6600 over that any day.

Mozilla tried to market it as a low cost alternative but nobody wants low cost rubbish. You are better of with a feature phone.

I think the biggest mistake was the reliance of the OS on javascript. It was dead on arrival or better said from start.

I recall the Windows source leaked a long time ago. One programmer wrote an article on it saying it was actually good code. The problem areas seem to be little hacks they had littered everywhere to keep 3rd party hardware or software from breaking. My bookmark leads to a missing article that's not in Wayback Machine. Do you have a substitute link to a review by a qualified person who got to look at the source? I'd be interested in that.

Some people get pointers immediately after one exposure before puberty. Not every student needs to practice. Some people, who maybe never came to your university at all, will never get linear algebra matter how much they practice. To say the distribution is unimodal is one claim. It's another matter to claim the distribution is narrow.
It's not my only egg. My only point is, spending a large amount of money on a home is not necessarily just a net expense, and is actually very frequently (in those cities, SF, Seattle, NYC, Cambridge/Boston, etc) a "profit", even after interests on the loan.

Even if my property was to lose 50% of its value tomorrow, its still better than renting, or getting an expensive car, or whatever. And in the best case, it will have a hell of a return.

Streaming and “zero data loss” backups for PostgreSQL with Barman 2.0
Just wanted to inform you guys that today we released Barman 2.0 for PostgreSQL.

This new release adds support for streaming backups (removing the need for SSH connections altogether) and introduces "zero data loss" backups for PostgreSQL 9.4/9.5/9.6.

Streaming backup also makes integration with Docker easier and adds experimental support to backup of PostgreSQL on Windows systems too.

Barman is a backup and recovery manager for PostgreSQL databases that is distributed under GNU GPL 3.

I posted an article about this release on our blog: http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/the-best-barman-ever/

Information on this release are here: http://www.pgbarman.org/barman-2-0-released/
That's not true. Most genetic disorders are caused by receiving one or more defective copies of a gene. In the case of a single defective gene causing the disorder, it doesn't make a difference what gene the other parent has. In the case where multiple defective copies cause the disorder, the further apart two lineages are, the less likely it becomes that they will each have defective copies of the same gene.

There's probably a higher chance of blood type incompatibilities, but that isn't a lifetime genetic disorder for the child, it just needs to be accounted for during the pregnancy.

Right. However there's many competing post services providers in my country, and the ones used by the government and institutions change from time to time (there's open competition every few years and for a while courts were using different provider than the usual national post for example). And no matter which one was "mandatory" at any given time - all of them have to keep the secret of correspondence and have to comply with the law regarding storing private informations etc.
static linux isn't really a reaction to systemd. What it is a reaction to is exemplified both by what the blurb on its WWW spends most of its time on, and indeed by its very name: dynamic linking.

Pelias [1], from Mapzen, is supposed to be good, if you can accept the dependency on Elasticsearch.

Last I checked it wasn't great for autocompletion, and it lacked some important features that Google's has (the "bounds" attribute in the geocoding result, for example, which is super useful if you want to determine the precision of your match), but maybe it's improved since.

Suppose you want to sue Megacorp over a few thousand dollars. You're 95% confident of winning, but if you lose, you need to pay Megacorp's legal fees. Megacorp's legal fees are always going to be high, but they can make them even higher than necessary (good luck regulating this), perhaps to the point where if you lose, you're bankrupt.

Result: no one sues Megacorp for small amounts of money. Megacorp can get away with lots of things that they would otherwise be sued for.

(I don't know if this happens in reality, but I do think it's a legit thing to worry about.)
> I suggest NativeScript as an alternative that's very similar in scope but far more mature

NativeScript has been around longer than React Native (at least for Android), but going by Github activity (not the greatest metric, but not aware of a better one) React Native[1] is much more active than NativeScript[2].

Some differences between Exponent and NativeScript:

- Exponent supports building iOS and Android apps on macOS, Windows, and Linux. With NativeScript you need a Mac to build iOS apps.

- Exponent also allows you to push updates to published apps, while publishing with NativeScript is identical to publishing regular iOS and Android apps.

That would be a step in the right direction. But we should just walk all the way over to the solution. Education in all areas should have n-tracks, where n is the number of students.
It is pretty close to eugenics, whose ethical problems are I think well-acknowledged now. (And it's worth noting that these ethical problems were not acknowledged in the US in the early 20th century, and a very large number of reasonable people were excited about eugenics.)

If I give someone money, it is their money and they can do what they want with it, it does not matter to me. If I give someone information about myself, it's still connected to me, but now it's under their control. They can use it to exploit or harm me, and so can anyone they sell it to, or anyone who steals it. It's that indeterminate potential for future abuse that makes it important. That's why we consider it differently.

Sometimes here in HN you will hear about how things like name,age, etc are bias for who gets hired, and people being rejected based on those things. So just add "method of conception" to that.

Currently I'm enrolled in a grad CS program after 25 years in the field. Most students in my classes have never been in the field before. My caution to them is to understand their own likes and dislikes. If a person loves writing software and delving into a problem for many hours without interruption, then the person needs to be careful with in-house IT.

(I also caution them that some likes and dislikes won't be known until they've been in the field a few years.)

I spent too many years being frustrated by this lack of understanding and outright denial. After all, we're in IT, don't we all want to produce really great software to help people?

Recently I had to admit to myself that the answer to the above question is "No". Often a timely good solution beats out a future great solution in the minds of people who thrive in in-house IT. They accept good enough and have no qualms about a vendor providing it.

[EDIT: spelling correction]
Having worked with many of my fellow graduate students to try to teach CS concepts to incoming students without any CS background my conclusion here is that we simply don't know how to teach computer science. My suspicion is that many people who learn CS usually do it inspite of attempts to teach them, not because of instruction. Think about how long it took humans to figure out how to teach reading to _everyone_. We had to break the old whole reading method and switch over to phonics, and that was decades after we had the hard scientific evidence that phonics was the missing perspective needed to get that last percentage of students to read. We are probably decades away from understanding how to teach CS to everyone, let alone getting those techniques implemented.
Very interesting! I had no idea we could convert our existing jet engine technologies to electric.

(Some) people will design the new human for the benefit of themselves (i.e. the designer) rather than the benefit of the new human.

A few ideas that come to mind are having children with ridiculously amped loyalty, so I can condition them during their early years and then put them to work making money and simply use them as my retirement fund. I could also ensure they're suitable organ donors, and make use of their organs as my own fail.

As with every ethical question, that's only a problem if you think new humans shouldn't be explicitly created for the benefit of the creators.
Interesting tutorial. I just wished the author used open source tools or more precisely visual studio code.

I recently installed .net core on my chromebook (crouton with ubuntu 14), and used visual studio code to develop a basic web api + angular2 app. Lot's of tutorial take for assumption you use visual studio, and this makes it harder for those who don't. I always had issues finding the right package, right version and right package namespace. I really miss the VS functionality that finds includes missing libraries for you.
Nope. That's about it.

Ask HN: How (un)secure are the passwords saved at my browser?
I am the closest thing to a "common internet user" that you can find at HN, and I was scared by how easy is to discover all the passwords that I let my Chrome browser save.

I found out by installing LastPass Chrome extension (we are starting to use it at my company). One of the extension onboarding steps is to show all sites for which I have a password saved by my browser. Fair enough.

What scared me is that just by clicking at "reveal passwords" ALL of my saved passwords appeared there!! No asterisks, just day light plain text shouting all my carefully crafted long passwords to anyone looking at my screen.

I don't remember giving the extension any special permissions, and even if I did, I wouldn't imagine an exntension could have access to all my plain text passwords.

Is this common knowledge?? Is it THAT easy to find out all my saved passwords?? Am I missing something here?

I would imagine that such a common, widespread, sensitive feature at the most used browser in the world would be more secure. It is not that NSA can discover my passwords. MYSELF, not even being a programmer can discover all the passwords of another person if they let me use their computer for 2 minutes.
If you actually believe in the moral correctness of the law being used, I don't think that's actually wrong, is it? "You are breaking this law. You and I will both spend a bunch of money getting the courts to stop you from doing it. Instead, you can choose to stop doing it and settle with my firm for the cost of tracking you down, which is strictly preferable for everyone involved."

(I hold this opinion weakly, so please argue me out of it if it's dumb.)

It would be lot more cost efficient than invading kenya or creating political instability.

I'm mostly in the same boat as you. However, I have found that with electronics, you run the risk of your beloved older piece of equipment not even being able to connect to your newer equipment because it doesn't have the latest connector (SCSI, Firewire, USB-2, USB-3, USB-C, Thunderbolt, Lightning, VGA, XGA, DVI, Mini-Display Port, HDMI, composite, component, etc.). On top of that, you have the issue of drivers and apps that can talk to the thing, too. Not as bad in the case of a printer, but still an issue for many devices.
Agreed 100%. Same was the case with Google maps download for offline use. They added that feature after a lot of feet dragging.
I'll say yes, we're stuck with the two. The resources required to create and maintain a decent, competitive mobile OS imply a need for a size of user base that no new entrant will be able to achieve in a reasonable time frame.
In another of Nick Lane's books he mentions compatibility between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA as a possible reason for variation in fertility in different species. If that's true I'd expect the 3-parent process to produce fewer pregnancies per fertilized egg than the normal 2-parent method which runs at around 50%.
