I grew up in a region with a strong, distinctive regional accent and dialect. Every member of my family, teachers, friends, literally everyone all spoke with that accent. But even from a very young age (like 3-4) I knew it was an accent. I didn't pick it up. I understood what canonical pronunciation was, and opted for that. So, what, I just decided that newscasters were my tribe for some reason? I'm just very suspicious of the idea that its completely relative, and just depends on what you're used to hearing. If you were being taught a foreign language by a native speaker, I think you'd be much less likely to doubt them when they told you "this is how it is pronounced."

And you ended with another appeal to consequences.
E-Voting Refuses to Die Even Though It's Neither Secure nor Secret
> ...but my experience with macOS has been so overwhelmingly positive... I dislike the closed nature of macOS...

Generally, the only reason to buy a Mac is to run the Mac OS. So, if you like Apple's business model and you want more of that, then keep buying Macs by all means.

I don't get why anyone would want to keep voting for Apple's tyrannical style of doing business though. If you enjoy freedom, do not give your money to Apple and please support the business model that you like.

Personally, I buy all of my Apple products used or refurbished from third parties so that Apple never gets any of my money. If you value freedom but you still need to interact with iOS as a developer for now, while it's still popular (hopefully not forever), buying non-new stuff is the way to go.

This may be the cure in this case, but unique/automated passwords can go horribly wrong too. I once was the owner of a Vodafone EasyBox, a cheap and crappy router with pre-configured wlan wpa-keys. They looked randomly enough, but were a crude mixture of your mac-adress and router serial number[0]. It turns out, the bits of the mac adress (wich were always on the same digit) reduced the length of the unknown parts of the key to 16. The rest 65535-something key-bits could easily be brute forced.

I just had the good fortune to configure my wifi- network myself, so I had to put in my own keys. Many other people didn't, and who could blame them, they were probably happy the thing worked in the first place...

I think some of the lamentation about losing cursive romanticizes everything a bit. When people think of cursive, they think of beautiful, Declaration of Independence-like script.

I do my family genealogy, which involves reading lots of censuses and historical documents. For every document with beautiful handwriting, there are hundreds that look like scribbles and that take me a long time to figure out what they were writing. And I learned cursive in school. When I find a document with printed handwriting, I want to go back in time and personally thank the writer.

There is a difference between what some people imagine cursive to be, and what it is in practice. People will always have bad handwriting, and bad printing is easier to read than bad cursive.

Much of this is being automated by computers now. Lastly they give out advice. You don't want to read a 5 page list of rare side effects...

Hi Wade,
Love how outspoken you guys are about Remote work!
I'm actually starting a podcast to help others learn about Remote development by interviewing developers that work remotely and sharing their experiences. Would any developers at Zapier be interested in coming on?

Thanks!
Sounds very similar to the old webOS app, BlockChalk:

https://techcrunch.com/2010/01/08/blockchalk-location/

It dynamically created a message board for geolocations and anyone was free to post to it. It got a bit out of hand with spam and cyber-graffiti... Looks like the service is long gone (some random housecleaning blog is on the domain now). A big limitation to the app's usability was you had to be within a certain distance of a location to access the "chalk" for it.

It sounds like a cool service to try out, just not an iOS user...
I was actually referring to the fact that RFC 6648 has deprecated the X- prefix on headers.

Huh? You can't tell people to "only visit trusted sites". An attacker who is combining browser RCE with OS privilege escalation zero day will have no problem whatsoever coercing victims into visiting whatever site they choose.

You're suggesting that Google give terrible security advice simply to dull the discomfort you think they should feel about the fact that their browser's security model defeats this particular vulnerability. I feel like either I'm missing something, or you can't really be thinking this through carefully.

Kentik | San Francisco | Full Time | REMOTE, VISA considered

https://www.kentik.com/careers/

Interested in building a distributed column-store time series database? Crafting a sleek, intuitive front-end? Evangelizing a breakthrough approach to network intelligence? This is your opportunity to get involved in a dynamic, rapidly growing San Francisco-based startup.

Kentik Technologies is the creator of Kentik Detect, a big data SaaS for network traffic visibility, DDoS detection, and infrastructure optimization. Accessible via web portal, psql client, and API, Kentik Detect is the network visibility solution that our founders — former network operators from Akamai, Netflix, YouTube, and CloudFlare — always wanted but could never find. It lets network operators see complete traffic paths, find root causes for link congestion, reduce costs by peering with other networks, and know immediately when their networks are under DDoS attack.

In our first 15 months on the market we've landed 70+ customers including:
Shopify, Pandora, DailyMotion, Yelp, Box, Neustar, Instart Logic, Cisco, Appnexus, and University of Washington plus top carriers, telcos, and hosting providers.

On the backend we're looking for folks with real-world experience building distributed systems in Go/C/C++. On the frontend we need experts at both client- and server-side JavaScript, with broad experience in monitoring, visualization, and building state-of-the-art Web applications. And in sales we need proven performers with a track record in highly technical markets (network-related preferred).

Sound like a good fit? Check us out at https://www.kentik.com/careers/, and contact us at hr@kentik.com.
The justification that hard drives need to work everywhere is a little weird. Most drives stay in their host machine until they die. Requiring some recent version of Windows to read the files wouldn't be a hardship. A little checkbox that saves you X% storage space and Y% CPU time in exchange for such a requirement would be useful.

I have been developing mostly in Clojure for the past few years. In my last job, I worked primarily as a back-end Clojure developer. I have experience with web front-ends too and just finished a Senior Web Developer Nanodegree from Udacity last month.

I am looking for either a front-end position or back-end if it's in a functional language like Clojure.

Thanks for your consideration :)

The price of providing a basic level of security should be priced into the product!

Y Combinator is hiring hackers (San Francisco, ONSITE)

YC has a very big vision. This recent article talks about how we plan to invent the future: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/10/sam-altmans-man...

Here's a secret most people don't know: software is at the core of our plans for how to do this.

We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join us. It's not a job for everyone, but it would be a good fit for someone who loves startups. Working at YC, you won't just write code, you'll be involved in everything YC does.

Here's an example of something interesting we built recently: http://themacro.com/articles/2016/08/investor-day-software/

That sounds like a terrible idea. You think every end user, everywhere, needs to manually verify with their ISP for every single outbound connection? How could that possibly be an acceptable solution?
Well, I'm with you since I'm still not using React. But one has to acknowledge the point it makes about DOM handling.
The best thing with local and short-term effects is that eventually someone finds the way to extend the space and time boundaries a bit, then a bit more and then we are talking about astronomical scale.

Can be a nice story plot for a sci-fi book, in which science finds the way to defer the rise of enthropy to some almost infinitely distant moment in future (that end of time, we've always being expecting) and move the boundaries of locality to the observable universe. What a world that would be.

There isn't really a Good Way(TM)* to avoid file fragmentation when using compression that allows arbitrary seeks. Thought experiment: take a large easily compressed file, and write 1MB of random data in the middle. That new data won't compress as well, and so it'll have to be stored elsewhere.

Filesystem implemented deduplication is probably a much better long-term strategy than filesystem compression, but both online deduplication and online compression can impose hefty costs on frequently written data.

ZFS and BTRFS can "get away" with implementing better compression because they're copy-on-write by default. In that model, compression can actually reduce the cost of the read-modify-write, and clever use of journaling and caching can reduce the cost of fragmentation.

I'm sure you could come up with a hundred different improperly designed ways off the top of your head. And it wouldn't work.

And trying to design it properly, you'd probably come to the conclusion that it won't work (without causing massive disruption and breaking everything we've built so far).

If all your PDA (smart phone without the phone, essentially) had is what now counts as a modestly low performance microcontroller, your OCR needs help, so Graffiti had glyphs like a single simple right angle for a letter T, an F is that right angle flipped, etc.

There exists a Graffiti keyboard input for Android, just search for it. I have not used it.
