This was to expect. I don't wanna know how much companies didn't use Slack just because it seemed like something crazy and hip.

Now, before Slack has the time to become "old, known and reliable" Microsoft jumps in and steals these potential customers :D

Hi

What is the approx time one should expect to hear back if they were selected or not for an intern position?

i applied few weeks back but haven't heard back :(

Thanks
Yes, this appears to be correct - the Firefox API supports filtering out of the box. If you check the readme on the WebSocket companion, it specifically mentions Chromium based browsers, assumedly indicating it's intended for them.

There is also a note on the normal uBlock repo that says that Firefox has an extra feature with a link to inline script tag filtering, which says it does not work on Chromium based brownsers: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Inline-script-tag-fil...
It surprises me because the universe is an isolated quantum mechanical system that certainly appears to be gaining entropy.
If you don't mind me asking, how does one re-enter "polite society" after working for a porn company?

(I'm not saying that working for a porn company is bad! Far from it. It just seems like it would be really difficult to break back into the corporate mainstream after working for a porn company due to the raised eyebrows during the screening process.)
I've had success with segment filter for ffmpeg. Yes it's more complicated, but I wouldn't describe it as you did.
The competitors that came to fill in the gaps aren't following any of the newly passed regulations from what I've heard.
The "do it with love" part is especially funny as their support doesn't actually give a shit what their customers think or feel. They'll happily give you absolute bottom-of-the-barrel effort canned copy-paste responses to carefully written and considered bug reports, indicating the agent neither actually read nor remotely understood what you were writing about.

Slack doesn't have a box to stand on to tell others how to treat people.
Trump does this kind of thing because he believes it's necessary to compete. For example, he makes neckties in China/Mexico/wherever because that's the only way one can do so profitably.

Trump is the epitome of "Don't hate the player, hate the game". While Trump has played the game as necessary in the business world, Trump claims he is running for office so that he can change policies such that offshoring American jobs is no longer economically feasible, and such that companies that do this will face punishment.

Though it seems counter-intuitive, Trump and Sanders are striking the same chord, just from different directions. There is a surprising amount of crossover support from Sanders to Trump, especially as evidence of DNC corruption against Sanders in the primary process continues to mount.
Do you mean legally, or at all? Because if it's "at all" I believe there is a very vibrant community who have a lot of tutorials for doing that
I'm not "hiding" behind anything, and trying to imply I am doesn't help your argument.

I probably would stop using that site, I think it's important to support sites that make meaningful progress possible. But again, that doesn't really have any impact on my decision to make sure foreign code doesn't run on my machine.
Places like Amazon/Zappos make returns pretty hassle free. But I don't disagree with your basic point. I do buy clothes that I can't buy locally or are a known quantity from someone I order from repeatedly. But, when you're not sure of exactly what you want, no one has really cracked the code for online clothes shopping and, because it's a very tactile experience, it's hard to see how you really get there.
Firefox on Android has ad-blockers.
There are tax implications for having an employee in some states, regardless of what the person is paid. For instance I've been told that it would cost us several million dollars to hire someone remote who lives in New York. That developer would have to be really amazing to make it worthwhile to hire them!
>>> I think most innovations in technology come from either the military, video games or porn.

>> Looks like another case of the old myth about porn innovating or "pushing" technology, as usual with nothing to back it up.

> He literally gave a case (from memory) about the industry being an early adopter of technology.

Being an early adopter is not really the same thing as innovating.
- I'd rather have shipping be separate (but prominently displayed), so that buying multiple items in one order would be beneficial. But obviously a site has to have consistently good prices for this to make sense. (And eventually, a meta-buy engine that optimizes sourcing from multiple suppliers, but we can dream).

- I figure the prominence of free shipping has more to do with price fixing by the manufacturers (minimum advertised prices, etc), and perhaps rate secrecy by shipping companies as well. Since walk-in stores build logistics into the price tag, online retailers had to move to that model as well to have comparable prices.

- I still don't believe that direct shipping is three times the cost of brick and mortar fulfillment. I'd really like to see that accounting to make sure that it is including things like the full expense of running a retail store with employees, additional distribution centers, and clearance markdowns. I can see a strong temptation for a traditional brick and mortar retailer to count much of that as necessary overhead for their entire brand rather than attributing it directly to retail sales.

I've gotten in the habit of screenshotting. With one hot key (cmd shift 4) I pick a region and a file is placed on my desktop. This turns out to be far more useful in more circumstances for me. (The only image dragging I do is within chrome to send someone an image through hangouts.)
> Shipping(A+B) is typically less than Shipping(A) + Shipping(B).

In most cases shipping is a cost that's associated with an order, not with the item.

That's true, but they could provide the marginal shipping cost of an item before it's added to the cart:

Shipping(currentCartContents + thisItem) - Shipping(currentCartContents)

In many cases the marginal shipping cost would be 0.

Shit, really? I hadn't published any QR codes, but I sure didn't realize that was part of the new system.

That's a pretty bad round of dropping the ball... Normally I respect that OWS explains security stuff in detail if you care, but also has a product that "just works" if you use defaults without much knowledge. This is pretty much the exact opposite of that, where they released a dangerous default with minimal explanation even for people who do read their stuff.
I don't have an iPhone, but with the Android client at least, you can disable image auto downloading in the settings page. If you hate fun and are dead inside.
Then figure out how to bring the cart context to the product page in order to be able to say "Shipping will be +$2 if you add this to cart"

I won't trust Microsoft to make the Mac version of this product as good as the Window's version. There is a long history of Office development that supports this conclusion. If you use Mac in your workplace, probably best to stay away from MS stack

That part was almost unreadable, it was so cringe worthy. "Made with Love" movement is a meme in itself at this point.
That criticism doesn't really make sense. A single form factor for power, high and low bandwidth I/O, and expansion means a transition away from dongles.

In 1998, people had stacks of floppy disks, and external floppy drives were expensive. That was a painful transition, and this transition has far more benefits. The cable isn't just the dongle, it is the additional ports because all of the electrical engineering is handled by the computer. Last year you couldn't power your computer through the HDMI port, or plug your monitor into the mouse port.

Yeah but the requirements of the EU bluecard are in line with the EU average - low for Germany.
Yeah, the other thread, from week ago, and comment from two hours ago. I had the
time to already forget about your project and drown my comment about it with
other comments before you replied there.

As I said here already, I can't tell how to use it and what to use it for.

Let's assume I have a project that already has some code and no documentation.

First thing I want to know is what kind of artifacts your thing produces. This
is important and there are several valid options, which include "HTML pages to
publish on a generic web page", "HTML to be published on readthedocs", and
"man pages".

Then I want to know how to start actually using the tool. Remember: I don't
have any documentation structure and I know nothing about your tool. I don't
know if it uses documenting comments (JavaDoc/Doxygen style), separate text
files (SGML/asciidoc style), or maybe a combination of these (like Sphinx
does). I don't know how to run your tool to generate the thing and how to
control its output.

Then there is the issue of semantic markup. Any sensible documentation tool
allows the writer to distinguish several important types of things, like
functions, classes, and modules, and it does so in a single, designated way
that results in always looking the same. I haven't seen anything like that in
your tool, which means I, as an author, need to constantly remember how I mark
the functions and modules.

You should compare how your documentation looks standing beside Doxygen,
Sphinx, or much simpler asciidoc and POD (Perl's plain old documentation).
Where does the profit come from if not the margins? The advantage of non-profits is that they don't have to make a profit in the long run and might have to pay less taxes.

Not having to make profits might be true in the beginning for startups, but at some points investors want to see returns.
If I remember correctly, Uber is already making profits in some markets and using it to subsidize expansion in other markets.
The answer was suggested back in 1947 by Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-tiki expedition which demonstrated how it was possible to sail the 4,000 miles or more across the Pacific from South America to the Polynesian Islands in a simple raft.
My advice would be to either produce and distribute porn, or drive traffic to porn sites. Those are the only two roles where you bank. I wrote an analytics subsystem for my company's properties and I saw how much their affiliates make. If you were even partially effective at driving traffic, you could clear $75k/year. Their top affiliates would come closer to $1M/year. These were just individuals (sometimes they worked in pairs) who were great at SEO and building links mostly.

The drawback to driving traffic is that the porn companies are constantly shaving you. You had to track each of your referrals very carefully. Though generally, if the affiliates saw they were getting fucked over, they just switched off their firehose and directed it to another porn company. That always resulted in a face-to-face meeting with apologies and increased incentive to redirect the firehose.
Sadly that is trivial to get around these days, especially if someone at the new company knows someone at the old one.

Most professionals I know are happy to "bend" policy to give a respected colleague or personal friend a good reference, especially if that person is on the street.

If the company clams up and limits its response to name, rank and serial number, that's a huge red flag.
I try in all possible situations to only visit sites that I think aren't causing damage to the landscape of the internet but again, that is a separate issue to me choosing to block all ads. When I browse a content aggregator or a friend sends me a link I'm not going to research each site before clicking the link, I'm just going to click the link if I think it will be interesting. And I'm not going to be okay with exposing myself to security vulnerabilities. Browsing the web I have a right to protect myself, and I'm not going to be somehow guilted into removing that protection.
I am similar but even more wide spread. Receptionist, anyone. I also try to do the same for anyone I deal with in a customer service role out in the world. Even the smallest thing really can make someone's day a little better, and isn't that worth the insignificant effort to do it?
DPI?

Anyone could have exploited it before. Now people know it's exploitable. I'm still on Google's side here (as much as it pains me to say it). Making the vuln known is the best course of action.

Why wait for Swift? You can already do what you want with something like Lua. The only issue is that you have to be willing to build a platform around your Lua code-base, and not just have it handed to you ..
And I think that's the crux of the issue. When I was laid off, I hit the job boards. I started out being careful with my choices, doing custom cover letters, etc., but after no response from many, I started "shotgunning" and hoping something would stick. But that's what everyone else is doing: one-click apply to job/send your resume, and then HR gets overwhelmed, and determines not to send individual responses, which continues the spiral.

I had one job I finally got a rejection from a week after I had started someplace else. As much as I may have liked any one position, I had mouths tl feed. No point in waiting 3 weeks for a simple response.

>> we believe our software really is worth something.

That's why you let users decide after they've used the software. You don't tell someone that up front and expect a payment when you haven't been able to try and test the software for yourself and your team.

If it's worthy, then users will come back and offer a payment or contact you to find out how they can contribute if they feel its really worth it.

I think a lot of people have this misconception that everybody who uses open source software just assumes it should be free. In my own experience, it's quite the opposite. Most people who use open source are actually more willing to pay for something they feel is valuable to them without hesitation. They're also usually willing to pay a little more then perhaps is necessary in order to make sure its maintained and supported.
Why Do Millennials Hate Groceries?
I do block all JS content by default and have to whitelist individual sites. I consider that in tandem with my adblocking. I'm not going to give up either.
I would leverage the fact that names like MindGeek sound innocent. I'd call it a content, distribution network for businesses that shares messages, images, and video. I'd point out our main advantages were massive capacity, responsiveness, and reliability. We pushed terabytes of data through our system world-wide for our customers. I did (activities here) to help make that happen. I'm happy to bring my skills to a new organization with new challenges that might benefit from similar capabilities.

Here it is (warning: Perl): http://pastebin.com/MFmDzY0g

It calls "objdump -d" on the binary, which is binutil's disassembler.

objdump prints each instruction out in the following format:

5dc: 67 80 7d 00 00 cmpb $0x0,0x0(%ebp)

The first part is the instruction offset; the second is the bytes that comprise the instruction; the third part is the instruction in AT&T assembly syntax.

The script uses regexs to cut off the front and back, then counts the number of bytes (in hex format) in the second part.

Then it calculates the average for all instructions.
I go back and forth on whether this would truly be useful. 10-15 years ago, having a fully baked, first class, slavishly source compatible implementation of GNUstep with broad adoption throughout Linux land would have likely been a game changer.

But now, it seems webified apps are king. The handful of native apps that people use are already satisfactorily implementable on Linux. In fact, a great number of native apps are being implemented on Linux in spite of the GUI bits not being source compatible with OS X or Windows. The major holdouts (MS Office, Adobe CS) likely have more to do with business reasons that factor much more than porting costs.

Now, if GNUstep were to become a compelling alternative to XCode for developing iOS apps, I could absolutely see that tide lifting the Linux fleet.

Show HN: Simple JavaScript Tetris

EDIT: Better URL https://github.com/jstimpfle/tetris-on-a-plane/

I had fun building this and experiencing the joyful side of JS (or at least the browser ecosystem). Boarding a plane I'd had the idea of finishing a simple tetris before arrival. The game was in a working state after ~2 hours, even though I had made a few bad decisions. (it was subsequently polished, investing another few hours).

It was made with a "get things done" mindset, and the experience from dabbling with purely functional programming in Haskell was very helpful (mostly the "pure", as in "non-destructive", part).

It's nice that in Javascript we have an environment where we can code a fun game in <400 lines, without any library dependencies (not even internet connection needed) or build systems. On the downside, if it had stronger dynamic types and errors (like Python) that would have saved maybe 25% of my debugging time, probably without coding overhead.

My problem with their project funding argument is that I'm not an investor. An investor has lots of money, and so is more willing to accumulate risks for the payoff of creating a stable enterprise.

It's not rational for me as a consumer to fund such an unsure bet, especially when changing an operating system has lots of friction. I assume that the proposed talent of an individual investor is in the ability to sieve good from bad in a sea of maybe. But I also don't understand the market well enough to see how such an unproven bet might succeed in a very stale market dominated by arguably one entity (you can't really buy macOS) -- maybe two.

I'd also say that while software work is expensive and requires talented labor, and while operating system work takes an intense amount of effort, there's something to be said about the fact that Elementary OS could even build their OS to begin with. How did they do it? On the backs of billions of dollars of free labor. I can't imagine how it would be if the whole world hid their source code with proprietary-only software, and Elementary had to start from ground 0.

What rational model governs this situation?
This isn't a given. Some of Microsoft's newer programs, like Visual Studio Code, run just as well on Macs (and Linux!) as on Windows. Especially when they said it was "web-based", which I assume means the desktop app is (like VSC) using Electron and cross-platform compatibility shouldn't be hard.
