Of course, things turned out way better for him than he could have planned, but that doesn't rule out that there was some plan behind it.

Step 1. He also attacked pentagon and Washington. Imaging if the latter had succeeded! It's not hard to predict the reaction to such an event.

Step 2. I think he tried to provoke the attack on Afghanistan. Iraq was later.

Step 4. With the terrain in Afghanistan, a quick war is not possible.

Interesting, when I'm using Mac and I miss KDE's Konsole, which is superior IMHO.

Which features are you missing from ITerm2?
As someone who has worked at several of the listed companies in that plot, that's significantly more accurate (IMO of course) than either Glassdoor or the Salary data.
Dear @slackhq,

Please fix your push notification systems as people have to use Skype when Slack cannot get things done! Video/Screensharing should have a checkbox on your product map. Oh but you don’t have them. Damn!

Have fun editing HDR footage or cutting samples on the command line. Don't get me wrong, but MacOS is exactly my platform of choice because I can have a sane POSIX command line as well as a color managed display and high resolution, low latency multichannel audio on the very same computer and can switch effortlessly.

The page is kinda light on details.

From my experience doing web development, msys2 + PuTTY/Pagent give me pretty much everything I need. I don't even use bash; everything I need is available from cmd.exe, including tools like ls & grep.

Microsoft isn't going to say so, but you can get an Office365 gift card for like $20 on eBay. That gives you the Office apps plus a good chunk of storage on OneDrive and some Skype credit for a year.

It wasn't as painful of a transition as I expected. I guess it helps that so much of my life is in the cloud these days anyway.
Hmm...

I was seriously ready to scoff at this when I saw a link to att.com in a show hn, but I'm not so sure this is scoff-worthy...

It's (basically) $25 per GB across a fleet + $1 per device per month. While that sounds bad for anyone comparing it to a individual device plan it's way better than anything I've personally seen for the 'IoT' plans before. The closest I've ever seen before was https://hologram.io/pricing/, but this seems to be better unless you use less than 2 KB a month (lol, no, you don't).

Now, does anyone know of a module I can use on this without paying out the ass for it? (Seriously, I want like 50 of em as long as I can get them for under ~$20.)
Beg to differ. I (gladly) worked for considerably less than market rate (while still not starving) for stock. I'd do that again and I'd offer it. Yeah, I was committed. Getting paid market rate and getting an option, done that too. It was a paycheck and a lottery ticket. Much less committed.
Docker just uses a Linux VM under the covers, which can obviously run Linux binaries.
It is pretty cool. Feels very much like a smalltalk-ish environment. A WebGL context is a single HTML tag and a couple of lines of code away. However you can still get the productivity boosts from an ML-like language... there are options. And ES6 supports some patterns of FP out of the box (though it is made better with small library support).

Maybe checkout Bucklescript, Purescript, or Elm for the next one :)

One of my rituals of taking a long trip is to finish a small coding project before I land. Sudoku, minesweeper, tetris, forward-propagating constraint solvers... it's a nice practice. Thanks for sharing yours!

I really miss this stuff...
Elementary is one of the least stable Linux distros that are out there. I have a friend who's been running Debian forever using Afterstep as the WM, and it's rock solid. Granted, he does most of his work in the terminal using emacs. I've never had good luck with linux on the laptop, but I've had good luck using it on the desktop, so long as I stuck with Intel chipsets and Nvidia GPU's. The lack of apps is going to be an issue for most people though.

Maybe in downtown, but I don't think the millennials who oppose grocery shopping are all clustered around areas where electric bike delivery is available. The would seem to be a very small representative subset.

Strange, I was very impressed with Slack support.

After experiencing the train wreck that is Skype, I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for another Microsoft chat app.
>hyperlocal produce

You do realize that many places have these things called seasons? I do have a farm stand just down the road from me which has excellent (albeit a limited range of) produce in August. January? Not so much.
Maybe you shouldn't use means that need justifying in the first place?
What the heck are they talking about? CVS and "convenience" stores charge massive markups compared to an ordinary supermarket, or if you can find one, an ethnic grocer or farm stand.

This confirms for me that I have to spite cultural forecasters by making shakshuka at home tonight.
Did you try that?

I am experiencing so many issues with Docker and current kernels. I can only envision an attempt to run RedHat 4.1 over a modern system as a recipe for disaster.
I never completed my CS bachelor's degree and despite 25+ years experience as a professional developer and development manager, I still run into (usually large) companies that will immediately filter out my resume due to the lack of a degree. OTOH I have managed to get jobs that on paper required a master or PhD - it all depends on the company.

When I hire people I look for the right combination of theoretical knowledge and successful practical application of said knowledge. Personally I don't care if you got the theory part from watching videos of MIT lectures and reading books, or from a classroom.
Not a satellite, but Deep Space 1 ran on "Remote Agent", which was entirely written in Lisp and even had a remote REPL, which was used to debug and fix a race condition bug while millions of miles away.

That and more about Lisp at JPL are on this awesome little page written by a former JPL engineer: http://www.flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html
I didn't really have any issues. I even went to an educational company serving the K12 vertical in a leadership capacity. It helped I knew the VPE there through other past colleagues but after my interview with the VP of HR it went pretty well.

The funny part was how curious everyone was about what went on there. I never really felt that much stigma about it from others...most of it was actually self generated. The other way I got past the potential stigma, though, was that I discussed how serious the business side was. The analytics we did, how much detailed knowledge we had about what downtime cost us, etc. Our HR training was done by lawyers, not consultants, because if the company got sued they were not going to get a sympathetic jury so I knew what what not to do as a manager there. That was actually pretty attractive to the VP of HR at my next company.

I'm not saying you won't find those that pass on you because of having porn on your resume but I don't think it's that big of an issue. As others have noted before most porn companies do business under a pseudonym that is innocent sounding and it's usually enough to get you past the screening that might filter if it said "Bang Bros" or whatever company it was.

The bigger issue is if you had school aged kids. They'd never have let me talk at career day. :-)
I had a very similar experience. I switched for the pretty fonts, and stayed for the key bindings. You can even add your own key bindings to (almost) any menu item in (almost) any Cocoa app using System Preferences. After I discovered that, I just dug in even more.
Isn't that correlation, not causation? It's entirely possible you could meticulously write 20 detailed cover letters, and get no response because you don't fit the role or the hiring manager is swamped or any number of reasons.

Whenever I apply for a job, I always take the time to write a good cover letter. Why wouldn't you maximize your chances?
You could write a script that generates a couple of customised sentences for you, given its parsing of the job listings you are responding to. Flagged at the end as such, it would also show the recruiter some skills, and an advanced sense of humour.
People only use email to create a paper trail. It's not a discussion, as a medium it's a set of assertions and challenges.

If you don't have a personal relationship with someone, questions aren't even honest questions, they are signals of liability transfer.

The cc: line is a kind of blackmail where assholes list the people they are performing for, or threatening to scandalize you to.

Everything about e-mail is abnormal.

It's a performance. The only way to win is not to play. Hence executives eschew it.
Also consider by charging shipping, the seller might refund only the item price rather than total (depends on reason of return). While if the seller offered free shipping, they may be obligated to refund the entire price, even though shipping was included somewhere.
If your model is restricting how people view content, then yes, using an open platform like the web is not a great choice. Instead try delivering your content as a native app. There you can do a much better job of preventing them from interfering with how content is displayed. They might still be able to disassemble the binary and modify it, but that would be quite a lot more work and would need to specifically target your app; whereas browser ad blockers use features built into the browser that work globally.

Of course, by not using the web you are putting yourself at a disadvantage as far as customer acquisition, but if you think you can compensate for that, then go for it.
Wow. Well, thanks for that! That's pretty bizarre!

You're actually manipulating graphical data though, in that situation a GUI makes a lot of sense. Using a GUI for editing E-mail or joining a WI-FI network is silly, just like it is for most things people do with computers.
No I mean a REAL block scoped language! JS is cool but these are just bolted on features.

Why does a function I pass into an Ajax query need a call statement?

Why does 'this' have so many interpretations depending on its context?

Other languages approach these in simpler ways.
Functions inherit the scope in which they are executed and
'this' applies to its parent object.

Also, whats up with nested asynchronous statements?

I know ES6 and 7 are working on it but new languages would be ideal with new takes on solving some of the tough parts of web development.
What's your alternative? "Gee, Robert you have such pretty eyes... please do this report?"

Really? On most sites that I visit, I 'Save As' every link that I care to download, so that there is no separate tab to close. (But maybe you were referring only to this specific site.) Maybe the solution is just to make sure that there's more of interest on your download page than just the download button?

Lets just call out the big elephant in the room here. Uber, Lyft or any other middle man service can be easily replaced by...you guessed it; Another middle man! Pulling out was so stupid for them as they basically did all the market creation and then just let others eat it all up. Thus setting a precedent that the same thing can be done in any other city and everyone will be "just fine". :?/

I feel the need to respond here because in every thread about MBPs people mention the Dell XPS line as an alternative, and after buying one I can NOT recommend it as a good buy.

The Dell XPS laptops have got one thing going for them: relatively good build quality. They don't feel or look cheap, which already puts it ahead of most PCs in the market. Just walk into your local Best Buy and see the junk they are selling to people.

From my experience the most recent Dell XPS 15" has several issues, but I'll mention the two object and non-anecdotal issues:

- They suffer from "coil whine," which is when internal components resonate and cause an audible high frequency noise. It is super annoying, and a huge disappointment for a ~$2k purchase. Even the new Dell XPS 13" which just got refreshed with the new Intel Kaby Lake processors still suffers from this, which shows Dell didn't care to fix a widely documented issue that has been known for a long time. Just Google "dell xps coil whine."

- The 4K screen has way too much glare, and they quickly strained my eyes. The low resolution version don't suffer from this, but I imagine most people are getting the 4K touch display.

I won't get into the Mac vs Windows vs Linux debate, because you won't be enjoying the XPS with buzzing noises and glares in your eyes with any OS.

Ater wasting time with the Dell XPS, I went and happily paid the Apple "premium" for the 2016 MBP.
And don't get me started on Thinkpads, they are simply not what they used to be.

> MPB is a pretty bad value

You show me laptop with the level of hardware/software integration as a MBP, and a no-BS *nix desktop experience, and I promise you I'll be the first one in line to buy one.
> people are less likely to feel or express gratitude at work than anyplace else. And they’re not thankful for their current jobs, ranking them dead last in a list of things they’re grateful for.

First off I don't want to be thanked or praised, I want to be PAID. If I do a great job give me more money, a day off, or something tangible. I don't want a non-monetary gift either. I have a drawer full of work trophies. It's nonsense. Why should I be thankful I have a job? I've earned this.

I used to have a manager that would thank me all the time and then praise me for the littlest thing. It lost any meaning it may have had and often feels more manipulative than anything. Student of the one minute manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_Minute_Manager.

I thank my co-workers all the time though because they don't have to be nice or helpful. And I nearly always help a co-worker when they ask for it and sometimes when they don't. I typically get a thank you. Thanks and praise from my teammates goes well beyond anything from a higher up. Maybe I'm cynical, but it nearly always feels like I'm being placated in some way.

Edit:

I think it goes further to respect and listen to the opinions of your fellow co-workers and your employees. Take all opinions into consideration. Do not dismiss anything immediately. Acknowledge those who've contributed yes, when taking any sort of credit when speaking to other higher-ups or outside the department.

Also respect a person's work. Don't throw it away for a complete rewrite because that's easier than trying to understand it and don't suggest a revision without fully considering what already exists.
Prices have climbed quite a bit. Seems like they jumped $200-300 when Retina was introduced, and now a similar increase for the Touch Bar.

I absolutely agree. Instagram/Facebook/Soundcloud have lost my interest as they've added extra features which just clutter the UI and distract from the purpose you were using the site in the first place.

If your original product isn't working. Maybe try being a different company.
That's what I thought, I was using it as scope of influence as well
Photoshop CC 2015 has gold rating and should be stable with Crossover or a fixed Wine version - not too hard to setup with Playonlinux. Of course, a native version from Adobe is preferrable but that is unlikely to happen until market share is 5%.
I think once Apple detaches iOS development from macOS all bets are off.
Have you tried openshot[1]? I haven't played much with it recently, but when it came out it was the most stable, simple video editor for linux.

If the item is offered at a competitive price then it effectively is free.

For example many items are sold at a fixed MSRP and no retailer will undercut it, but some retailers will offer free shipping while others charge me. That's actually free shipping from my perspective.

The same logic applies retailers that offer "free shipping for orders above $X". Can you argue that the cost is rolled in anyway? Sure, but rational actors think at the margins. The alternative is effectively paying twice for shipping, both the explicit shipping charge and the upcharge rolled into the price. Again, if the prices are competitive the retailer is essentially eating shipping costs for you.
Reasonable to who? Of course, it's possible to cook very economically and well. But it's hardly unreasonable for people to choose to eat steaks and expensive seafood for at least some meals.
It's possible that how much effort a candidate puts into demonstrating token emotional attachment to a job posting is not a great predictor of job performance.
>Then the Razer Stealth has a chip that doesn't do Iris Graphics making it inappropriate for the 13" MacBook Pro.

Razer uses it to drive a 4K 100% Adobe RGB display. Seems appropriate enough to power the lower res Macbook 13" displays.
the reason for the coverage being low is that no one is saying anything and information on glassdoor is being ignored by most people anyway.

full disclosure: i am from the sofia office but i think that this is dangerous to say because we are fewer than the germans. in the sofia office we have not been paid for two months now and before that we had to wait two months for salaries, so it makes a total of 4 months of waiting. i can confirm that the frankfurt office also has not received money but i am not able to say exactly what their situation is. 2 or 3 months.

i dont think this will get coverage because i will not provide any evidence that will make it clear who i am. if someone can tell me how to prove this without being in danger with crytek i will do what i can.
That is precisely the "free shipping" strategy...
I remember hearing talk about Bill Gates having four assistants who did nothing except filter and redirect email sent to him.

I can easily believe that major figures with a public email address receive far more mail than they can deal with in person.
I'm not saying that MS' support will be any better. Just that "you get an actual person to talk to AND they actually know a little AND might even help you if your issue is simple enough" doesn't quite make the grade for "treats customers with love".
1. Mash Linkedin and Skype and create a Slack/Facebook For Business Competitor.

2. Integrate that with Office 360 for Business.

3. Create a much more appealing Resume/CV that either integrates well with hiring tools or competes directly with them (monster, indeed, so-on) by creating your own backend for recruiting.

4. Make it very simple to migrate your MS Live/Outlook/Skype profile to a Linkedin profile (or do it automatically ala Google+).

This makes advertisers happy. This makes any corp using Office 360 immediately integrate to Linkedin. This makes Linkedin much more appealing to candidates and recruiters. This could bring people over from competitor services. This actually makes the entire MS Office suite more appealing.
Programmer's Obligation to Reduce Climate Change Impact

Thinking about it, i feel that Wave shutting down was a turning point for Google.

It was built on XMPP, and allowed anyone to spin up their own Wave server that could talk to any other such server (iirc).

At the time Google (and also Facebook) used XMPP as the backend for their messaging service, and was even working on a extension for video and voice communications (libjingle?).

But then all that was scuttled, and they moved the messaging onto the proprietary Hangout. I guess they could not figure out how to monetize a distributed system like XMPP and instead switched to putting everything in a silo.

Then again, Hangout was tied closely to G+, and G+ was the brainchild of a ex-MS exec that was described as a "cookie licker" (meaning he would try to tie whatever other projects he learned about into his own) after his departure from Google.
Hello @jawspeak,

Thank you for posting this. I have applied for Software Engineer, Developer Platform (Server). Would you also like me to send in an email?
One of the best things I learned from my bike racing days was how to handle "you can quit any time". Once you accept something like "this is the part that sucks, if you just keep pedaling it will at some point not suck" it all gets better.

In other words surrender to the moment, quit worrying about it, and just keep riding.

Lots of life is like that.
I believe that they are offering the tier of Office 365 that includes this (along with all kinds of other stuff) for less than Slack costs per month.
