And I'm so damn tired of people complaining about cost to run stuff locally. The true cost of not having some basic stuff setup locally, even for backup purposes is when situation like this happens. It does not take long time or resources to download all of the libraries, with corresponding docs to a local server, or even your laptop. It is not complicated to have all of the new issues sent to an email to have a version of them available at all times. And you don't need a sysadmin to administer all of that.

Work Remotely

We’re looking for people who live in the United States.

Another company doesn't state that explicitly under http://www.surgeforward.com/careers/ - but they feature a map of stick figure "employees" spread over the US on that site, a clear indication they're in the same camp

For many companies "remote work" is synonymous with "remote work for US residents", and it's a totally different category from global point of view. I'd like to see some source that dinstinguishes between the two
Not really, I can't access our production servers which are in US east. Can't access Intercom with which we provide customer support. Our clients are mailing us that payment provider doesn't work either. So we're losing money while being in central EU.
You can store the values in a trie (e.g., with one node per character in the string). Exact lookup in the trie is O(string_length), like a hash table. Inexact lookup can similarly walk the tree, but explore side branches within a certain budget.

So if your string is "abc", you'd follow the node for "a", then the one for "b", but _also_ the one for "c", at a cost of 1 (because dropping the "b" incurs an edit distance of 1).
Why not? That's the whole idea behind having more than one NS server isn't it?

I love this article as social commentary. I grew up in McMansion hell--the DC suburbs. My parents live in a McMansion. The architectural critiques capture not only what I hate about these houses, but about the attitudes of many people here. They have a general air of being better than the rest of the country by virtue of education and an upper middle class income. They're intensely image conscious but don't have exposure to real wealth, so they buy and build houses with features like fake windows. They're bad with money: Median household income in Great Fall VA is about $200k, while the median house price is about $1 million. The owners of most of these McMansions are extremely leveraged.

Most DNS resolvers will automatically try each NS record until they get a response. That might be your ISP rather than your iPhone but that's an old practice going back to when the internet was even less reliable because some random Sun box under someone's desk failed.

Modern web browsers will also do the same thing if a query returns multiple A records and they get a connection error.
Yea, I've had a google voice number that I have used sporadically for my business for a few years and suddenly my account was just banned without any obvious reason. It was obvious to me that it was some bot gone wild on their end and was clearly a mistake. I tried contacting Google about it for months with no response. It was a number I actually needed for something important but was never able to recover it. I would have happily paid a monthly fee for the service if it meant I could at least get a response from a support email (ironically there's no number for google voice support). I even tried pleading with my adwords manager where I was spending a ton of money every month and she said she didn't known how to help.
The average German lives in an apartment or multi-family house.

On the country side there are still a lot of fully detached houses but they're either mostly "old" (i.e. built or fully renovated after the war) or built to a different standard (Germans generally consider drywall a cheap substitute). But of course that is also changing.

Also, building your own house is not as affordable as it seems to be in the US. Germans have a stronger aversion to taking out loans and banks often want a significant down payment.

From what I've seen few home owners actually park their cars in garages though. Recently carports (basically sunroofs) have become pretty popular but most people seem to park their cars in the driveway as far as I can tell. We just clean them more often, I guess.

This is also not true, as if they used bcrypt (a key derivation function) the hash is salted, so even users using common passwords are protected against rainbow (lookup table) attacks.

as for brute force, yes attackers now know usernames, so can try brute forcing the live sites, or brute forcing each user hash.

I'm surprised; I would have thought such large sites would use more than one DNS provider? I mean:

$ host -t NS twitter.com
twitter.com name server ns4.p34.dynect.net.
twitter.com name server ns3.p34.dynect.net.
twitter.com name server ns2.p34.dynect.net.
twitter.com name server ns1.p34.dynect.net.

I would have expected at least one of those to be somewhere else. What is the reason they would not have a backup provider?

I do the same. A few years ago, I heard a small plane and looked out our skylight. There was a big black storm cloud behind the plane and I remember thinking the pilot was lucky to be outrunning it. I flicked on the cheap aviation radio receiver that I happened to have on my desk, just in time to hear his "mayday, engine failure" call. I watched the aircraft glide down behind some houses in the distance, then made a phone call to the local airfield, who were able to tell me that the pilot was down safely in a field next to a school and they had a recovery vehicle on the way. Phew!

> - Internet of Things. It's mostly gimmicks so far. IP-addressable lightbulbs just aren't that useful. There's going to be a lot of crap manufactured, but it may just be a fad like hoverboards and CB radio.

(Consumer IoT rant follows)

Current consumer "Smart Home" products always remind me of the old joke about the guy who lost his keys in a dark corner and then goes to look for them under the streetlight across the street - "because the light is better there".

I think there actually are a lot of household chores where automation would really shine - such as cleaning up, doing laundry, doing the dishes, many aspects of cooking, etc.

Of course those tasks are far too complex to be automated to any satisfactory degree as of today - but oddly, there doesn't seem to be much interest in research either. Instead, the industry seems to be running after seemingly low-hanging fruit that on closer look are not even fruit at all: Their products seem driven by what is easily doable with today's technology and what data the vendor would like to collect. Whether the use-case that the product satisfies actually exists seems to be unimportant. Then people are surprised if such products don't sell.

My favourite example is the wifi-enabled water boiler: I could imagine a lot of tasks that involve boiling water and that I'd love to automate: If you live alone and could walke up to an already prepared cup of tea/coffee/porridge would be nice. Yet the makes of that product chose to automate the one aspect of those tasks where automation brings the least benefit: Flicking the switch on the water boiler.

I believe when we're capable of building a "laundry bucket/washer/dryer/wardrobe" combo where you put your dirty laundry in the bucket and it magically ends up in your wardrobe the next day, smart homes will become useful. Not if we stick to light bulbs that need internet access.

I think it's due to the new version of Javascript being released recently after years of stagnation. ES4 was abandoned and ES5 was mainly standardising existing practices, while ES6 has added a lot more - new syntax, new types, iterators, generators, modules and so on.

A lot of the churn going on is due to people trying to work out the best way to use these new features, along with whether or not to keep backwards-compatibility with existing frameworks and libraries.
Houshalter: the no-free-lunch theorem assumes that all possible "real world" problems are equally probable. That does not appear to be true in theory (due to the laws of physics, e.g., see https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08225 ) nor in practice (e.g., in complicated AI-type problems, the objects of interest always seem to lie on/near lower-dimensional manifolds embedded in a high-dimensional input space).
Actually, Anno 1602 sold 2 million units, which is very much for a PC-game from the 90s and on CoD-level, adjusting for market size.

But in general you're right of course. The other parts of the series sold less, and there are a bunch of other great german games that weren't even registered on the international market. Not sure that this is still a problem though, with steam and internet distribution in general those culture specific games maybe disappear.

>And you don't need a sysadmin to administer all of that.

I disagree with that. If you have a server, you need a sysadmin. End of story.

Who is going to secure the system and setup ssh keys? who is going to run updates? who is going to monitor for security issues? who is going to run backups? who is going to secure those backups? who is going to oversee the installation of the network, the battery backups, the racks, the server hardware, etc... Who will swap out bad disks? Who will recover the system when it goes down? Who is going to double the hardware and setup high availability (remember, you are competing with github for uptime here)? And god help you if you have one guy that does all of this. What happens if he gets hit by a bus?

An on-prem server isn't a "backup", it's a liability. And without the resources to maintain it, it's going to become a nightmare. I've been there, and I won't ever do it again.

I'm either going to pay to do it right, or give it to someone who will. And if that means a few hours of downtime every year or so, then that's a wonderful tradeoff for me.

> It does not take long time or resources to download all of the libraries, with corresponding docs to a local server, or even your laptop. It is not complicated to have all of the new issues sent to an email to have a version of them available at all times.

Luckily github (and alternatives) provide all of that. It sends us emails and slack messages on everything, so if it's down, we can still read, and we all have our local repos. But reading is different than working.
I can simplify your example:

unique_ptr<int> p;
auto n = *p; // C++ kills!

That, and that a bug is a bug is a bug. Any bug can potentially be a security vulnerability with the right approach. Thus putting people that find such bugs on a pedestal is counterproductive.

Emerging Technologies Overtake ECommerce as Retail Industry's Top Focus
Uber's valuation in particular worries me. Uber's product is 90 pixels on your phone - that's it. Behind that is computer code and an admittedly powerful network effect among drivers and riders. But I have to wonder about that power of that network effect over time, especially with this race to develop self-driving cars and other similar things. Meanwhile, Uber's business practices are, shall we say, often times questionable. Customers increasingly dislike the product, whether it's surge pricing, or dirty cars, or lousy drivers.

I just get nervous by these companies whose products are a single app on your phone and some computer code. This is generally not a great setup for being worth a lot of money 20 years from now.
I have both as well and the Mirra 2, in my mind, is the way to go. For me, the Aeron has the edge of the seat part where the back of my thighs rest and it starts getting uncomfortable after 15 mins. The Mirra doesn't have this issue. The Mirra back also hugs my shoulder blades a little better. The plastic back of my Mirra doesn't bother me vs. the Aeron mesh.

I would recommend the Mirra for anyone looking at Aeron. They're usually cheaper too. I got my Mirra on Amazon for around $600 which the Aeron was going for, I think at the time, around $900.

Has an extra bathroom, an extra 2-car garage. And modern electrical, and plumbing.

It's not pretty at all. But it's $7k cheaper ($40k), safe, and is to-code legal in most places.

https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/landscaping-...

Has 1.5 extra bathrooms, an extra 2-car garage, and modern electrical and plumbing. Probably a closer match to the style, at roughly that price ($46,600). Also to-code legal in most places.

- - -

Obviously we're never going to get an exact match in materials. In many cases, you wouldn't want to -- a lot of safety standards have improved since then. But "you can buy what $47k got you for quite a bit less" is a reasonably accurate claim.

If anything -- kit houses at the $47k price tag are probably much nicer today than the were back in the day. (more space, more amenities, safer, etc)
If you add these sites ip addresses to your /etc/hosts file locally then you don't have to worry about this for the most part.
Sure, but there's no indication that the "market desire," so to speak, is anywhere near significant enough to warrant the amount of attention it's getting.
Bill by value if you already have the product/feature, bill by hour otherwise because the client never knows what he wants/needs. This way you put some pressure on them to make up their mind.

This is because it takes about one or two years before all the hordes of idiots to abandon the last ship they sank and come swimming full speed towards a new ship to sink.

I have seen several similar things that essentially use existing Java libraries or the libraries themselves offer it (Javascript).

* jooby [1]

* Vert.x [2]

* Rapidoid (I can't find the exact link where JS was used) [3]

I'm just not entirely sure why you would trade a language that is generally much safer for one that is known to be problematic at scale particularly since Java 8 has lambdas so you can do callback async style if you like. I mean I suppose you could use typescript but at that point why not stick with Node and if you need JVM stuff just make some sort of microservice to access it from Node.

If it is a learning thing than (as Java is complicated) than Clojure is far better option (I'm always amazed how easy it is to learn any Lisp as syntax becomes a non issue).
