There was and is an anti-psychiatry movement[1] which has a very interesting history.

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-psychiatry
That was really a digression of my main point of intents forming an unstable API but our problem was 100% subverting your service won't start until you use it, but Google's approach is insanely heavy handed. A saner solution would to be to give a permission for daemon style services that comes with a warning to the user about battery life and network implications.

Our service really is the most important service on the device because if our service goes down the device is essentially "bricked" (these are embedded android devices so we lose visibility on the installation), but adding our service to the image means managing images for every device variation we use (and some of those device's manufacturer's won't be happy to have someone else managing said images since it means more work for them [build image, send it to us, we modify it, send it back to them, they use it vs just building an image and using it]).

It's a unique use case, but it's not hard to imagine more common software that could take advantage of daemons, even if it's just to provide smarter background processing than the "all-or-nothing" defaults provide (like START_STICKY). Besides being rather unique to our use case, I'd also say it doesn't have to do with apps from different creators working together...

And I don't think the network is involved most cases of expensive services, because the OS (or more specifically, Google's services on most end user devices) already help solve that with things like the GCMNetworkManager and ConnectivityManager callbacks for optimizing network access.
A web of mocks is a sign that your design is not clean enough to be easily unit testable. The frustration it causes is a whisper that you need to refactor things, and that refactoring has always ended up making my software far more robust and understandable.

In my experience, most people just throw up their hands and integration test instead of aggressively working the design into shape.
I read the article and can't help but wonder where the family is in these situations. Why are doctors forced to commit someone against their will? Isn't that a decision better left to a family member?

More and more we're asking society to take on the role traditionally held by family members. The author is describing a symptom to a greater issue, which itself is probably a symptom to some other issue as well. It's symptoms all the way down.

But it'd make your analysis code work for multiple IDEs and editors instead of having to learn about each's peculiarities. One less thing to worry about is always good.
A problem with this approach is often you see corruption or crony-capitalism seep in. These contracts are then given in very favorable terms to certain bidders, or they are locked in for a very long time that can't be broken without paying huge penalties to the service contractor, no matter how terribly they are performing. You also can't adjust the goals of the service under contract over time - say you set your KPIs for the contract one way at the start but realize later actually this isn't working the best for the community and we need to manage it differently. Screwed.
Whoops, thanks for that, will fix. The service is pretty old, but I'm still surprised I didn't add the CSRF fix on one of the rewrites.

That said, tens of thousands of users apparently have a use for this. I'd imagine it's mostly "last goodbyes" type of stuff, also many users email me saying they want something to send "something happened to me, please come so my dog won't starve".

"Millionaire with assets" and "Ed Snowden" aren't the only two possibilities.

PlanGrid (YCW12) | San Francisco | Full-time, On-Site | Visa

We’re building software that is changing the construction industry (think GitHub for construction, but our ambitions are bigger). Our users love our app because it helps them build real things more efficiently.

By joining our team you can influence product decisions and work on interesting technical challenges (our client apps work with GBs of data). Our engineering teams are small; whatever team you work on, your impact will be huge!

We’re looking for new team members on our client teams: Android, Web, iOS, Windows.

We’re also looking for QA Automation engineers, data scientists and engineering managers. You can see our job postings and apply here: http://grnh.se/8fcutd
Stacked bar charts are the best way to represent percentage proportions without using an pie chart. (Incidentially, pie charts in ggplot2 are stacked bar charts transformed with polar coordinates)
You could also say that laws that are aimed at reducing voter fraud (from zero) are a smokescreen for a favored candidate/party, because they tend to reduce voting among younger people (less likely to vote in a place that matches their home address) and the poor (less likely to have various types of identification, most importantly a driver's license). There are also people trying to pass laws to reduce the number of locations you can vote (hurts the working poor's ability to vote), the hours polling places are open (ibid), and reducing weekend polling for primaries (ibid). State agencies are also trying to pass laws that reduce or eliminate places you can register to vote, or change the rules regarding how long you have to register before you can vote. They also have laws on the books or are trying to pass laws that allow them more flexibility to not count your vote after you've cast it, and in many cases you have little to no ability to find out if your vote was actually tallied.

IOW, the ability to vote is highly contested. Pressure in the opposite direction is probably necessary if we want to consider ourselves a representative democracy.

Oversight Transition Isn't Giving Away the Internet, but Won't Fix ICANN
The thing about flif that feels good on the old noggin is the fact that you can trade off quality for size just by truncating the file. Imagine a decimal point at the beginning of the file, and your image is a number between 0 and 1. Approximate that number to N digits, and you get an approximation of your image.
This is a great post! I have only one minor point:

> In the stash case, `git reflog` would immediately allow you to recover the lost stash.

Stashes don't go in the reflog, you cannot recover them with git reflog, so you're automatically in the 'deep shit' category if you lose them. Hence the statement that stashes are dangerous.

You do still have the safety net of fsck, and knowing that it's possible matters, as you point out. But, my experience with people who mess up stashes has been that fsck is so intimidating they'd rather re-create their changes. Silly, but true.

Smyte (YC W15) | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite

We're hiring for a variety of technical roles at Smyte. Check out our "jobs repo" here: https://github.com/smyte/careers

Why Smyte?

* We stop the victimization of innocent people online.

* We are the highest-quality product in this space.

* We have a seemingly endless supply of interesting technical problems and not enough people to work on them all.

* We have the strongest team tackling this problem (founded by ex FB and Google engineers working on spam and fraud, and I was part of the original React.js team)

* We just raised a series A and our growth is out of control.

* We offer competitive salary, benefits, and equity.
I've found it best to be a good listener and only offer advice when it's explicitly asked for -- otherwise, simply offer attention or sympathy/empathy.

I don't often go to other people with my problems. I tend to work through the lot of them on my own. I think many people are this way, and really only go to others to not feel crazy for having a certain issue. (i.e. finding someone who can relate to their struggles, not necessarily solve them)

You may want to consider converting your "Issues" file into actual GitHub issues and creating a board to track them. That way people can comment on issues and things like that whereas tracking an "Issues" file is a bit more difficult.

Also you could use Markdown or AsciiDoc for the README. It doesn't look pretty right now.

> The web apps I'm working on today are way more modular, composable, testable, and maintainable than the ones I was writing as little as two or three years ago.

The better question is: are the apps someone with two or three fewer years of experience than you more modular, etc?

My experience is on the backend rather than the frontend, but in that domain, at least, system quality is still way more about developer maturity than ecosystem maturity. You can figure out a terrible, hard-to-maintain lazy way of solving today's immediate problems in any language.
Hmm, looks like they're having server issues.
Aura Frames | San Francisco & New York City | Full Time | On Site | $130k+

We are building a connected smart frame to display your best photos of your favorite people from your smartphone camera roll automatically. We have raised a Series A from Spark Capital.

https://blog.auraframes.com/building-something-you-want-8426...

We are hiring experienced backend/devops engineers to help us build and scale our technology, which includes facial recognition, clustering, and photo quality detection. Our system is designed to handle user signups and photo uploads in real-time and deliver high-quality library sorting to users within minutes. We also provide a Rails API that is consumed by the iOS and Android apps, and the the frame device itself. Additionally, this team will help manage deployment infrastructure for our entire technology stack, which is hosted on AWS and includes a Rails app and multiple microservices.

We are also hiring experienced Android and iOS engineers who want to be lead engineers on our mobile apps. These apps provide a critical component of our user experience, as they are the only way to control the frame (which has no other inputs). In addition to UI work, our Android and iOS apps include photo upload pipelines that are designed to rapidly upload photos to our backend storage for sorting by faces, etc and provide high quality results minutes after signup, even on lossy or bad data connections. Ideal iOS and Android engineering candidates will also have experience and interest in building and maintaining our Rails API to support the features they build in the mobile apps.

Email jobs@auraframes.com if you're interested. We have offices in NYC and SF, and will hire in either city. Relocation available.
Location: Edison, NJ/New York City area

I've been thinking about this on-and-off for a while now. I don't want to entrust my secrets with any single entity; I want a cryptographic solution.

A couple ideas I have considered:

- Using a secret sharing protocol to split a key into N pieces for people you trust. This would be relatively simple, but there's the risk that they might be hard to get into contact with, or might have come into harm's way themselves. A threshold scheme can be used to allow N<M people to reconstruct the key. This is vulnerable to collusion. To prevent compromise of individuals in a targeted attack, the keys could be stored on smart cards. Also vulnerable to hardware failure.

- Unparallelizable time lock / time release crypto. The problem is, this needs to be able to be decrypted in a reasonable amount of time after my death. But if that's the case, then any bad actor could decrypt it given enough time. One solution is to embed the private key and program in an HSM, and use enough rounds that it will take, say, one week for the HSM to brute force. I could reset it daily, and connect it to my UPS. Should I die, I wouldn't be there to reset it, and it would release the private key. The problem there is, should I ever get held up for any reason, it'd be released. The idea sounds cool, but I'm not sure it'd work very well. Also, what if the hardware becomes damaged after my death? Or a violent criminal breaks into my house and steals the HSM with everything else indiscriminately?

Both schemes could also be used in parallel---the HSM key could be absolutely required in conjunction with everything else. If it is compromised, I generate new keys and redistribute them. This all requires more thought.

The scheme needs to be very unlikely to fail. If I die, I want it to include private keys for my disk encryption, select account passwords, etc so that my wife can access the information she needs, or would find valuable. I would also likely sign (cryptographically with my PGP key) a document that states that I have indeed died, to send to others.
You're pointing to create-react-app as a solution to JS churn when it was just created 2 and a half months ago.

The fact that people keep thinking that a 2 and a half month old project is the solution to all of their web development problems is exactly why there's so much churn.

Every new tool overtakes the previous generation by being superficially more simple, only to add complexity of its own over time until the next generation repeats the cycle. It turns out the complexity is there whether you acknowledge it or not, and over time your leaky abstractions will burst.

> What do you hope to build this month?

This is what I'll be doing this month:

- Facilitate data import from WordPress, etc.
- Create a workflow for deleting user accounts.
- Make the extension development tools easier to use.

In the slightly-longer term, I'm building an extension that adds e-commerce capabilities, in case anyone wants to migrate from WooCommerce, Magento, or OpenCart.

> What kind of skills do you need?

I'm pretty terrible at UI/design work. If anyone has front-end chops, I'd greatly appreciate any actionable feedback you can offer.

The documentation (https://github.com/paragonie/airship-docs) isn't complete, and I need to find time to work on that. If anyone can, please help here.

I'm pretty sure the first photo is from Belgium (Police/Politie gives it, as does the P90 SMG). Civil war, are you sure?
I used it (ng2) across 3 versions (beta 3-5 iirc), I used the flow type transformer via babel, which worked well enough. It'd be VERY difficult to do without some transpilation that allows the directive-style to be used.

For me, a lot of things in the templating seemed goofy, and had horrible, or no error messages when they didn't work right... I also still don't care for the DI system, though it's definitely a leap from ng1, I'd still prefer React over ng1 or ng2.
