> Now I actually do believe the OP will "happily" buy a phone without a headphone port.

Honestly, the OP might resign himself to it, but I'll doubt he'll be happy about it. It's not like headphones are currently connected with obsolete digital interfaces (e.g. RS232). Headphones are, by their very nature, analog, and making their connection digital just makes integration harder.
SUSE | Nuremberg (DE), Prague (CZ) or REMOTE | Full Time

Live Patching developer

"Live Patching" is the Linux kernel infrastructure by which one can apply changes to a running kernel; this allows, for instance, to fix a security vulnerability with no downtime. For a more detailed introduction to live patching see the links [0][1][2] below. As a live patching developer you will extend and maintain our live patching tooling, both for kernel and userspace live patching. The main purpose of this role is working on improving the automation that helps with generation and verification of the actual live patches. In addition to that, you will implement tooling for userspace live patching and participate in developing the actual live patches as well.

This is a remote working position; if you want to work at a SUSE office instead, that is fine as well.

What we offer

You will take part in the development of the core parts of our enterprise and community distributions and you will be encouraged to submit your work upstream. We will sponsor travel to relevant conferences where you can present your work. Working time is flexible and we offer a bunch of the usual benefits (these differ in different countries, though).

How to apply

Preferably, submit all relevant information in a single PDF file, so that no important detail is lost in transit. Give us some time to process your application. Expect the interview to be done over phone. Form submission for this position at https://jobs.suse.com/job/nuremberg/live-patching-developer-... (apologies for the scrambled formatting of the webpage -- that will be fixed soon).

This is not the only job opening currently available at SUSE, see https://jobs.suse.com/

Holy cow. That's awesome! Not sure if it's a good spec, but at least UL is trying to take this on. This is probably the best approach.
The interface is slightly weird. If I call Sub() twice (e.g. in two different goroutines) for the same queue, each message will be received by one of these two subscribers (because the channel is shared). I'd expect exact opposite: all of them to receive each message.
"The authors are planning to work closely with a team of experimentalists to design a proof-of-concept system, they said." - Pardon if I'm mistaken, but this seems like a fancy way of saying they have no evidence at all so far.

1. Choose a career/specialty that allows you to work remotely. Physicians can't, SW Devs can.

2. Embrace occasional travel, invest in relationships when you travel. Spend time at their office(s), take people out for lunch and dinner

3. Actively invest in relationships online with slack/hipchat

4. Be at work before people and leave after them, make yourself visible. If folks see your emails and messages, they'll know you exist; if you are quiet, out of sight, out of mind

5. Choose a company that supports remote workers; or as we call it "employees." Whether it's remote first, or remote supported, make sure they really embrace it

6. Be top 5% of your profession or higher. Many will argue that being remote encumbers communication causing a handicap; overcome any perception of this handicap by being excellent at your job

7. Be excellent at your chosen specialty. Make your indispensable by not pissing people off while still being known as an independently minded principled thinker. Do things that benefit the business - add tangible value that is measurable. Don't be a sheep in a team - that makes you indispensable. Be the innovator and efficiency improver.

I worked on-site the first 10 years of my career, then at a remote office of a company, then remotely. I think the first 10 years allowed me to build the experience, skills, and relationships to allow me to work remotely.
I can't even follow your argument anymore. Clearly, Mehta isn't a hype-man for Chrome. So what, exactly, is it that you want Google's security people to do? Their disclosure policies are probably the healthiest in the entire industry. If you're going to criticize them, please be as specific as you can.

Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.). Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has typically led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is working with a small, experienced development team to develop the 2.0 version of the software for an image-guided brain surgery system.

Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and some sports analytics software solutions.

I personally don't think the sentiment of "8 Christmases", as presented in the essay, is that helpful. The solution to scarcity isn't to rely on a few moments, nor necessarily to "prune bullshit", it's to create more good moments. Maybe there is only 8 Christmases, but there's 416 Sunday dinners and countless other Holidays. Christmas is only that special because that's the holiday that Americans still (somewhat) universally celebrate.
I'm sold to Henry George's land value tax idea, if we were to create a nation. But we aren't.

In our current situation, I would worry that taxing only the wealth "stored" in land ownership would create a massive economical crisis as capital tries to escape this new tax.

A broader wealth tax base, with a slightly higher rate for land, is a more prudent approach.

I think you missed the key points:
1) Skype allegedly did this before MS acquired them.
2) MS never shares any private user data without a legal court order compelling them to.
3) Everything here applied to Apple, Google, and others.

This is also a very old article, and leaves out the fact that since then MS has been shown to be a defender of user privacy and government transparency.
Interesting timing. I just used Windows' built in compression to free up 25 GB on a customer's full C: drive. First time I've used the feature in years. I noted that it didn't seem to be very good compression level.

I suspect we've already lost at "Security Industry".

Obviously defence in depth and dedicated security tools have their place in a networked environment, but you can't just outsource the problem or fix it with some bolted on extra.

Some concerns simply have to be addressed as an integral part of whatever software or device is being made. If we don't do that, well, we've just seen the result.

Because Trump is the first candidate in history who has promised to ban an entire demographic of people, expressed confusion on why we don't use nuclear weapons, and threatened to attack a country based on some rude hand gestures.

This goes far beyond simple political differences: He'll drag us into another world war.
I haven't used Borland's stuff (Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++, TP-Windows, Debugger) since the early 90s. I bought a copy of Delphi around 96, but never really used it, as my late 90s job was more off in the unix side of things by then (Linux at home, but IRIX/AIX at work).

No employer wants Borland's languages now. I suspect Kotlin will suffer the same fate.

When I first started doing ANSI C work in the early 90s (several platforms, including non POSIX), it was helpful to be able to use Turbo C[++] / Turbo Debugger to work on an otherwise standardized language. That seems to be what JetBrains is doing best, now.
Also kind of a programming theme

GoCardless (YC S11) | London | DevOps, Data, Backend and Frontend Engineers | Onsite | Full-time & Interns | Visa (FT only)

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we're now expanding to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK and Europe and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on testing and code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, Angular, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef.
We also have a bit of Go and Python knocking around.

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessable office in Angel. We have a weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: a couple of phone screens, one take home test, then a couple of onsite interviews (pair programming and some chats - no whiteboard puzzles!)

Inventables | Chicago, IL | ONSITE

We are hiring software engineers and designers. We make our own desktop CNC machines and write software for the whole stack, from machine firmware all the way through to the browser-based design app, Easel. Our main focus right now is (1) making new ways of designing in 3D and (2) making the feedback loop between design, simulation and carving faster. That means lots of unique technical and UI/UX challenges.

If you are interested in design interfaces, how/why people learn to make, computational geometry, or if getting involved in educating the next generation of makers, we are looking to talk to you.

The large issue with cursive is the tools we use.

Back when 'Cursive' was the norm the pens were much different.

I find it harder to write Cursive with a ballpoint vs a fountain/dip/etc pen.

Cursive is easier to make legible when you can vary line thickness.

My older brother taught himself programming during college and was hired on remotely by a company based in SF to do basic dev for them. It wasn't with a major tech firm, but there are definitely remote possibilities out there for a junior dev.
> "Although the violation is only on the local scale, the implications are far-reaching," Vinokur said. "This provides us a platform for the practical realization of a quantum Maxwell's demon, which could make possible a local quantum perpetual motion machine."

Perhaps there's another definition, but as far as I'm aware, a PPM has net negative/zero energy input from anywhere, be it local or remote.

That said, apart from hyperbolic misapplication of terminology (not a PPM, no circumventing Second Law), this does sound like interesting research.

Hi HN! Co-founder & CEO of Zapier here. We wrote this book a little over a year ago. It's mostly up-to-date though there's a few things I need to update.

I'm unavailable for about ~2 hours but you can AMA and I'll respond later. :-)
That's a great point regarding the economics of why IoT manufacturers don't invest all that much on security. Here's another one. It's an externality. Botnet attacks don't harm the IoT manufacturers. They don't even harm the IoT products or their users. They harm completely innocent bystanders like DNS/github.

What possible incentive do IoT manufacturers have to invest money on initiatives that bring no benefits to themselves, or their customers? What possible incentive do users have to follow "proper security protocols", when they can just do something simple/convenient, and if something goes wrong, some random internet website pays the price.

As idiotic as this sounds, the only non-regulatory solution I can think of is for all potential BotNet victims to collectively "bribe" the IoT companies into following proper security protocols.
I'm 99% sure those apps do not have "live tiles" until you run them at least once (and many of those default pinned apps, which change over time and depend on Edition, are not actually installed until you first click on them).
Cursive is a compromise between speed and readability when writing with a pen. I'd be very surprised to see someone write drafting lettering at the speed of cursive.

(There's a case to be made for Pitman shorthand, but it was never popular since it can't be read without training either)

It feels rather weird that cursive might be dying out; while I never had "copperplate" handwriting and always struggled a bit as a left-hander, I did all my exams in cursive and I still find it encourages a slightly different mode of thinking from typing.
> If you don't like it don't use it.

For our web application, we're already in the middle of transition from Celery
to a proper RPC system, so your comment (aimed to, I don't know,
make me ashamed? make me shut up and go doing some real work?) somewhat missed.

Though I really want to know if there are any sensible uses for task queue,
specifically with web applications in mind, as most people seem to use task
queues for that.

> [...] all you do is complain and bash other peoples ideas.

Only the stupid or incomplete ones, like somebody boasting about their system
without describing what does it do or how to install and use it.
nope it's a sign of the strong market for lemons in IT products.

There's no adequate way for consumers to differentiate between well secured products and badly secured products (every company will tell you "security is their top priority" if you ask them).
Cursive on the whiteboard sounds very intriguing. What does it look like and does anyone ever have any trouble reading it?
Oh, and if you extend it with multi-kernel functionality, scaling to very large number of cores/chips will also be solved in a fundamentally cleaner way. I haven't looked into it but there's an seL4 branch that implements multi-kernel support. If you don't know what this is, it's simply a way to have one kernel instance per processor, making scalability easier. Fujitsu has a linux variant to achieve the same and I think it's a goal of Barrelfish as well. Similar solutions exist in certain linux and dragonflybsd subsystems where, say, the network stack uses one scheduler or queue per core, removing the need for synchronization in a coarse way. Then, of course, you have to be smarter about scheduling things, but if you bind certain hardware bits to cores long-term, it should avoid accidental overhead via random migration. Language runtime VMs do the same for green threads with job stealing designs and pinning schedulers to cores. None of it is bleeding edge research material, we just have to use what's been invented.
