Splunk | Full-time | ONSITE | San Francisco

My team is looking for an engineer who is an expert with "big data technologies". An ideal candidate would not only be familiar with technologies like Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, etc. but also would have contributed to such projects.

I've worked at Splunk for multiple years and can vouch for it being a great place with an amazing engineering culture. Generous compensation, great benefits and a work-life balance included!

My email is in my profile.
Yay another X61 fan. At home I am still using an X61 Tablet with the 1400x1050 AFFS display. I maxed it out at 8GB of memory and installed an SSD. It is so choice.
None of those examples are relevant to the Mirai case, though? I don't think it even relied on IP spoofing. It was just an enormous HTTP flood.
Diversifying income is something every responsible non-profit should be doing, and that's what this is. If I were you I'd be more worried if we didn't do something like this.

The bulk of our support comes from corporate sponsorship, another component is grants, and the third is individual donations. Individual donations are likely always going to be our smallest source of revenue but it's still an important source to develop.

We'll be around. Go ahead with your rollout, I hope it goes smoothly and that it inspires you to contribute back what you can.
We have on institutional VC and no outside board. Remote is more and more common especially with engineering and support teams so they didn't have any pushback. I think if we weren't performing as well they might have more concerns.
I think that I would prefer if we simply subsidized wages to push down hours/week. I realize this wouldn't work for intensive job roles, but I'm pretty certain that many - if not most - jobs could be shared by two, rather than one, hire. Push hours down to 20/week and hire twice as many people. More time for people to engage in hobbies/entertainment/family/community. I believe this was done in Germany in '08 as a crisis intervention to avoid the large job losses we saw here in the states.
Nobody found it interesting that they had a budget of 1.5 billion USD? And how much did trump have?
I have a T420s. Actually I have two because I bought a second as a spare in case my first one dies.

Pros:

* matte screen

* aftermarket upgrade to 16 GB ram

* aftermarket upgrade to 2 SSDs, one in the normal SATA6 connection and another in the ultrabay with a caddy, so I can always remove it and put the cd/dvd driveback in if required.

* still have a spare PCIe slot so I could add another SSD there or use that instead of getting a caddy for ultrabay

The biggest draw for me: power, ethernet, VGA, 2x USB and mini display port are all on the back of the machine so the cables stay out of the way when it is on a desk connected to external monitors. If I am using the keyboard on the laptop then I can have my paper notebook on the right and it isn't in a tangle of wires, or a wireless mouse and mousepad.

CONS:

* 1600x900, but I use external monitors 95% of the time

* the first T420s had some battery firmware issue so it wouldn't hibernate when the battery got low, it would just turn off. Doesn't seem to happen any more and the problem was only with one of three suppliers of batteries so not everyone had that problem
The death penalty never made sense to me. We teach our kids its wrong to kill by killing? I'd rather the person spend their life in jail to think about what they have done.
On the very sub topic of "we don't know how to write secure code"; yes, we actually do.

Of course we know how to write secure code, code that meets a rigorous and well engineered design that eliminates invalid outcomes as a result. The problem is such code is slow and expensive to produce.

Good, Fast, Cheep; pick (at most) two. Security cameras optimize for Cheep first and fast second, so of course we see issues like this.
Sure thing. Send me an email and I can work on scheduling something. wade at zapier.
Purchasability AND limited choice. They're both part of the success.
Blaming the security industry is wrong, but so is blaiming the users. If a faulty lamp catch fire, then it is the one who made the lamp that is at fault, not the user. Make the vendors responsible for the damages that their products create!
Apple is simply willing to be wrong in the short term, to be right in the long term. And because their laptop cases are so hard to engineer, they have to think long-term when they design a new one. This is one reason that, while I like Apple's computers, I never buy rev 1 of a new design.

And this is hardly the first Apple release that has been met with complaints, even within the pro notebook category.
fyi uber's revenue was leaked in 2014 and it generated $18m in sf in whatever month got out

http://www.businessinsider.com/uber-revenue-rides-drivers-an...

That's a $212m run rate; with moderate growth a $350m+ run rate seems entirely reasonable. sf is about the size of Austin. If Uber keeps 25%, that's an $87.5m business. Some extra growth on top of that (run a local delivery service; do some transit deals for elderly/kids/handicapped; etc) and you've built yourself a nice $100m business.

The death penalty only further obscures justice by the very fact that innocent people have been put to death this way.

Excellent idea. It was fun.
People are not so obsessed with quality and design and Steve Jobs was. We need a company who produces laptops that come close to Apple's quality bar.

The idea that distraught family members necessarily have a clear picture of what fair justice they deserve seems extremely odd to me.
> Why not just make it open source?

It is.

> And let other people work on it and just cover 3 people managing this + architecture costs.

Um, Lets Encrypt, in the course of the last year has inadvertently become one of the largest issuers, and has become critical infrastructure for many of it's users who would suddenly have to pay for certificates, assuming they configured LE certs and Strict Transport Security. If LE was only 3 "managers" + cloud infrastructure, it wouldn't be reliable.

> You don't need 2.9 mil per year to process 60k certificate requests a day with system that is practically finished. What else is there to do which open source community could not do it itself?

The service isn't "practically finished", they need to continue to improve the service to reduce costs, improve the operations capabilities of the service as it grows,
From LE:
Staffing is our dominant cost. We currently have eight full time employees, plus two full time staff that are employed by other entities (Mozilla and EFF). This includes five operations/sysadmin staff, three software developers, one communications and fundraising person, and an executive director.

>Thousands of companies and developers use letsencrypt, a lot of potential man power to help if you ask me. You could easily cut costs 5-6 times. Or am i missing something here?

You are missing alot... this is not an open source project that anyone other than an existing CA can consume and hit the ground running. If any other major CA decided to consume Boulder, and offer it as a service, they could eat LE for lunch, but for anyone else, they need a massive investment in the logistics of becoming a CA.

Over and above that, LE is a team run on a shoestring, and yet they are building out infrastructure that is likely to be highly targeted by a broad range of attackers. Wether it's DoS, folks trying to get mis-issued certs, or a number of other objectives, that they are running and keeping the service up with that few people and that little money is an impressive feat.
Great question. I've been meaning to update the book to include a chapter on this.

The short version is it's mostly fixed to Chicago rates. We do have a fixed bump for folks in SF/NYC. It's an imperfect but simple way to handle this.

Payroll and benefits are solved using a service like TriNet.
Sure. Pinner for iOS looks good, works well, and has a share extension to allow you send pages from Safari directly to Pinboard. I like Spillo for macOS for the same reasons.

That's hardly comparable. In 1972 the supreme court decided that the death penalty laws _of the time_ were unconstitutional. The death penalty was almost immediately restored by public vote, with some modifications (switching from hanging to lethal injection, changing the appeals process, etc.)

The will of the people is the ultimate mandate in a democracy. In 1972 this mandate was for the death penalty. We'll see next week whether the mandate has changed.
i made this app in my spare time; would love feedback and critiques. definitely plan on iterating on the game.

Lean Analytics for DevOps
> I wonder if one could get funding for an effort like Robigalia to reach production quality and have Servo running on it. Given the feature set of Servo, it's a safe bet that the required features would provide a reasonably complete system to replace your Linux machine.

If I got funding, Robigalia would definitely progress at least 10x faster than it does currently :) If anyone is interested in that, email me: corey@octayn.net...

As an aside, Robigalia has been picking up steam. The first developer preview should be out by Robigalia 2017 (April 25). Design documents and prototypes should be out by December 26 (the project's anniversary).
I'm against the death penalty, but I don't think that argument holds up very well. We say it's wrong to kidnap people and hold them against their will, but we put people in prison as punishment. We say it's wrong to steal, but we use fines as punishment. Pretty much by definition, any effective punishment has to be something that's wrong to do to people in general.
Website is a bit hosed atm, do you have alternate path?
I have this fantasy of starting a company dedicated to building Linux laptops for developers. Great displays and keyboard, generous ports, beefy specs, with a willingness to trade off size and weight.

I think it hasn't happened yet because it's probably economically not viable.

My first thought was to comment and say how sad I'd be if Instapaper shut down (I'ma premium subscriber), but in all honesty, my Instapaper queue feels more like of a burden than something I look forward to.
I'm curious, what is a feature request? Haven't heard that term before...

Why not better connect NYC with Upstate, Central and Western New York, and shed some of the development pressure there?

If there were a true high speed rail connection to smaller, much lower cost metros it might make them more attractive as branch office/commuter cities.

Amtrak as it is now frequently takes 8-9+ hours to get to across the state to Buffalo. Much slower than driving the Thruway.
Intercity Amtrak service is poor due to:

* Ancient rails

* Large stretches of single track

* Passenger rail deferring to freight

* Reduced speeds due to degraded bridges and track beds, and outdated signaling

A modern, dedicated track for passenger rail could be fit mostly in the existing right of way. This alone would greatly improve service.

In the past few years New York State investigated several options for statewide rail improvements, and unfortunately ruled out any true high speed options. But even the most expensive improvements under consideration at $15 billion are cheaper than projects in NYC such as the Second Avenue subway (estimated completion at $17 billion for 8.5 miles!)

"Patent attorneys said Wednesday's decision will encourage small software firms to use patents as leverage against the industry's big players"

The patent industry always wheels out the small inventor as PR when defending the system. As soon as noone's looking they use the same system to keep small inventors out.

Philip Hammond invokes an active defence of UK hacking back the attackers

Thank you. That was the context I was missing.
Jupyter (IPython) notebooks aren't binary, they are JSON. Clearing output before committing in git does show reasonable diffs (including output causes way too much churn).

Most of the nice stuff from RStudio is making its way into https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab which is starting to look nice.
I've been using Pocket the last few months after having used Instapaper for a few years.

For iOS, I find the Instapaper app to be a lot better than Pocket. A ton of font options that don't rely upon paying the Premium subscription, and the UI is less obtrusive. I also like that when you share links from the Instapaper app, it sends the actual link. Pocket's app shares links as redirects, so everything shows up as a shorthand pocket.co/nnnnnn type of link. Both can have links added by an iOS share sheet, which is convenient. Pocket does have a nice feature in the app where it can refresh the article, in case you know what you're reading is outdate.

No Android devices, so no clue how it works on that platform.

The web experience is mostly equal, although Instapaper looks cleaner and still has more font options available than Pocket.

Neither platform is perfect with regards to transcribing articles. While I haven't done direct comparisons, it seems to me that Pocket falls back on displaying the original webpage more often when the site isn't a normal blog or news article. When it does transcribe the page down, it seems to include less non-article stuff(social media links, etc.) than Instapaper does. It seems to be a wash there.

For my own personal conclusion, I like Instapaper more, but Pocket works well enough.
