Ask HN: What does a C++ fullstack mean to you?
Recently I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn who asked if I was open to a C++ job.

These are his words "I wanted to send a quick message to see if you or anyone you know might be interested in a Direct Hire full stack C++ job"

Doesn't fullstack mean having experience in different domains like frontend, backend, machine learning, data mining, mobile dev, operations etc. ?
One aspect of a free market is that its up to you to decide whom to do business with.

Free market applies to every market participant equally. Your privilege is the counterparties obligation. Do you believe other market participants should be forced to buy your stock while the stock is obviously crashing just so you can get a favorable outcome?

And because you seem to be clouded by little man nerdrage: The stock market doesn't temporarily shut trading down to keep smalltime hobby gamblers out. They do this to prevent institutional investors from unloading in a hurry which would send macro signals that may signal that one market participant knows more than the others ("insider trading") which would then kick off an avalanche of tag-alongs who believe they have to sell as well, eventually moving the needle on the entire economy which would then cost the suckers who you are so desperately fighting for to lose their jobs. do you want that? good.

Google black friday if you want to know why. it is not done to sucker 2k live savings gamblers out of their money.

While I agree with the sentiment, part of me wonders if this isn't this the same as asking why the top NFL coach doesn't make all the touchdowns himself?
AirBNB is interesting.

Before I even stayed at an AirBnB, I paid for a AirBnB, and then was kicked off of their system, because after they "searched public records," they discovered that they didn't want me as a customer.

Interestingly enough, at the time I was a contractor for a three-letter agency, so my background was pretty-damn clean.

They didn't follow FDCPA, no adverse notice telling me what their "source" of information was (so that I could correct it), and no appeal. It took me another week to get my $$ back from AirBnB.

The irony of this is that they still send me emails telling me of terms of service and marketing emails, even after telling me that they don't want me as a customer.

Oh well.
While this list made me fear for the future of humanity, it also made me click over to the Crunchbase list, which is more useful and less soul-crushing.

I did the Tech Entrepreneur nanodegree over a period of 7 months. With the half your money back offer, I ended up paying $700 into the course and ended the course with an interactive prototype and a marketing plan. Both of those I still use to move my product development forward, so I felt that it was money well spent.

In comparison, I have taken classes in my grad school that I spent $1200+ on that I ended with anything to show for it.

I will say though that Udacity show more preview content and maybe a longer trial period (currently 7 days). I did try the Android nanodegree and felt it was not worth my time but that was because of my experience in it.
It varies with the type of drug, definitely. Most people can’t just kick opiates once addicted; often they end up just abusing methadone instead of heroin or pills. But I think addicts don’t generally want to be addicts.

In this case, legalisation and regulation of a different drug—kratom—could help users self-rehabilitate. Kratom is to opiates much as e-cigs are to cigarettes—some of the effects, but far milder, more manageable, and easier to quit. The DEA announced their intent to schedule it, but (thankfully) has since backpedaled a bit due to public objection.
Racism is a classic motte and bailey doctrine[0].

We are asked to reject racism on the basis that it is is the blind hatred of people based on their race.

But then we are told that what we have rejected is not in fact the blind hatred of people based on their race. In fact, racism (which we reject, right?) is a system of power and privilege with a strange resemblance to the structural oppression described in Das Kapital. And even the most innocent expression of Whiteness (like pumpkin spice lattes) could be a form of racism.

And to top it off, at the same time as we are asked to reject the form of structural oppression known as Whiteness, we are asked to celebrate the inherent value in all other cultures[1].

People are racist because humans evolved as tribal social animals, and so we are all extremely good at playing ingroup v. outgroup. Race just happens to be a very visible way to define groups. Defining it as a moral issue just leads people to try to beat it with shame, or other racism. Both are doomed to fail.
This is often, though not always, the case with deeply embedded processors of the kind BearSSL seems to be designed for. There's generally some way to get predictable cycle-exact performance on them because it matters for some embedded applications.
That's a pretty big accusation with no justification. Care to contribute some detail as to why Udacity is a scam?

Racism in America is made up by liberals? Come on... I hate when politics are discussed on Hacker News, but that is just blatantly untrue. I'm a white guy and I've been to the South and the Midwest. I've definitely heard middle-class/normal white people say extremely racist things. It's not a boogeyman. Just look at Trump's campaign--there's a ton of racist dog whistling going on.
Customer lock-in is Apple's entire value proposition. Buy in to the ecosystem and we'll provide the best experience that gets better the deeper you go. But yes leaving it is starting to look good to customers as software quality has declined and now hardware options are misaligned and industry is reaching parity in UI and features
@andreasklinger - that's a great point of view. We're definitely thinking about creating a similar list for post later funding rounds..

Thank you for the kind words!
What if I'm not racist, but I don't want people from other cultures as neighbours?
Sure. And files sitting on a disk, any disk, are forever under threat from random failure. But would you have only one copy of that file, or two copies on separate disks? And would you argue that it's pointless to have two copies, since simultaneous failures could still happen theoretically? If you do, I invite you to delete all your backups right now.

Same with people and planets.
AirBnB mediates the whole transaction. Their business proposition is entirely that they are the middle-layer between host and guest. In advertising, the advertising medium has no involvement in the services being offered or fulfilled.
For php and web development in general I highly recommend Laraccasts.
https://laracasts.com/series

Also for web development in general take free course at udacity, taught by reddit founder.

Also on codacadmy and codeschool have some qualified free screencasts to teach professional web development to beginners.
All else equal, that seems like the lesser of two evils in this case.
So you prefer to create a bad experience for your users?

Some platforms only have (bug-ridden, poorly supported) C compilers available: i.e. there's no other language to write in, let alone bind to.
It's basically a tribal identification mechanism wired into our brain. We have inherited it from our ape ancestors. Chimps can identify the in-group and the out-group, and go to war to eliminate the out-group.

We have realized fortunately that it's morally repugnant and scientifically unsupportable. However, it springs forever from the human heart.
That just measures the stigma of being openly racist in a country. It is well known that when you measure racial bias in countries like the USA with indirect questions, the reported bias is much higher.

It's not a liberal conspiracy and it's really insulting to pretend like millions of Americans who report being subject to prejudice on a frequent basis are delusional because most Americans are embarrassed by their racial biases.
No it will not. Perhaps if it was high turn out and a clear majority but 48/52 is very close and ignoring the result would likely anger leave voters who were overwhelmingly older people. Hardly the type to riot.
Exactly! We were typing at the same time. Laracasts is the best, for best practices for php development.
That's a whole lot of red herrings there, which have nothing to do with nuclear policy or not wanting to empower one side of an ongoing nuclear standoff with superior tech.

It does at least tell anyone with a scrap of skepticism though, where you're coming from. Equivocation is at the heart of apologism.

Huh? "than if every voter was picking at random" Sounds like what I showed to me.
Well there is no legal requirement to adhere to the result.
So the political system should reflect that diversity and leverage it as a strength, not as a way to divide people against one another.

Right now, the voting system is mechanically dividing the country against itself into two groups that don't really exist. Meanwhile, various corporate, media and political interests are capitalizing on this machinery in less than honorable ways.

This is enabled by the voting system on a foundational level. The other stuff, campaign finance law, media cultivation of ignorance, lobbying, etc... it's all very important, but it's all underpinned by the voting system itself.
Definitely, but if it only takes a majority to do something, it should only take a majority to undo it.
So you're saying it's okay to be prejudiced against people because of religious beliefs?

Like... say... Judaism, for example?
I think that's xenophobia, not racism?
Maybe I'm just cynical, but that sounds like PR to me.
> https://www.wired.com is excellent in how they use fonts to subtly indicate importance/recency/category.

You call that "subtle"??? There are like 10 different fonts/boldnesses jumping at me at first sight.
>> Or do you suggest that government should not be involved in social control?

Bingo... I do not believe the government has any ethical role in tell me how I should live my life, or punishing me if I choose to have a life style the government disapproves of.
Beats me. There are reasons to build low-speed maglevs on sites where wheeled trains don't work well. For example a maglev can climb steeper grades, and you can run them right through dense urban areas where noise might be an issue.
You don't think that "playing ingroup v. outgroup" is a moral issue? I think it is, whether the groups are defined by race, language, religion, gender, or choice of political party.
This may be how you feel, which I can appreciate. I'm simply pointing out that case law has been established that its allowed. If you have a roommate in your home, AirBnB or not, the law lets you discriminate.
> iCloud did _not_ become the consumer's single hub for all devices

Are you sure? I now keep only a small portion of the music I own on my phone. The rest is in my iCloud account. I don't keep any video on my devices (other than what I record with the camera). It's all on iCloud. I use my AppleTV to watch movies, television shows, and listen to music, and it all streams from the cloud. While I don't keep my photos in the cloud because I value security, most iOS users do.

iCloud has its issues, but people using iOS are using it for most of their digital media.
Don't forget confirmation bias. Once you've acquired some racist beliefs, from then on you will be more likely to remember (or seek out) evidence that confirms those beliefs, and evidence disconfirming them will quickly be forgotten. From a racist point of view, these beliefs are correct and supported by empirical evidence, hence the increasing tendency of some people to describe themselves as "race realists"
Hey, apparently now you can fire them both! Saw this earlier today on HN, don't have a link to the post handy. The site is easy to remember though: http://www.youarefired.com The guy/gal who posted was trying to figure out what to do after the elections.

To your point, Maybe allow for more than two points of view? :)
I voted for Jill Stein though she is (recently, apparently) anti-nuclear energy, and before that said some silly things about vaccinations and WiFi.

There is no perfect candidate other than perhaps yourself. When it comes to third party, you can safely consider your vote a vote for the party values themselves, rather than the candidate in particular. A vote for Jill Stein is really a vote for the major political parties to work on more green legislation.

Mechanical mods are only dangerous if you're using a volatile power supply - e.g. a lithium cell. NiMH (what's used in the mechanical MFLB) doesn't do this, those tend to burst/leak rather than go up in an incendiary ball.
> India fighting to regain parts of the remaining colonial territories cannot be matched to the war of Independence?

It's a hard call. For example, is it more of an analogue for the fighting in New York, or more of an analogue for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Quebec_(1775) ? Would your answer be different if the Continental Army had managed to hold on to Quebec and it had become part of the United States?

Or, given the time lags involved in both cases, is it more like the US invasion of Canada in the War of 1812, which I view as a US war of aggression? Again, that invasion failed, but had it succeeded would that make it less a war of aggression?

Note that there is a significant difference here in that the US that was invading Canada in 1812 had no reasonable claim along the lines "we are all one polity that was just colonized by different people and should be a single state" to justify its attempt to annex part of Canada. But that same issue applies to the rest of the war of independence too.
I think most of them who show up here are earnest racists. The younger nerds, the PepeHimmler1488 types on Twitter or 4chan, yeah they're probably 50% trolling and may grow out of it.
The Tatars, 300 years ago, were excellent warriors and horsemen.

They would raid the nearby Ukrainian and Russian villages and sell the villagers into slavery. In one year, 1769, they captured 20,000 and sold them in slave markets in the Ottoman Empire.

From 1500 to 1700 or so, between 1 and 2 million Slavs were captured and sold off into slavery.

The end of the Crimean Khanate is about as distant in history as the Revolutionary War that started the USA. Of course Tatars don't do this anymore, but some people unfortunately prefer to remember old grievances and raise them again and again.
Because adding a repo via some random online URL is the exact same reason why downloading random Windows executables creates tons of opportunities for malware to infect computers.

The whole point of software stores is giving users the ability to trust the motives of the software they install, because the store and / or its users would never condone hostile software being hosted there.

Once you start having everyone run their own F-Droid repos, you are having independent developers give you their own trust keys, but you have no one else who needed to verify those developers were legitimate.

F-Droid itself is not particularly secure, given anyone can upload anything there, but in the same way the Archlinux AUR, OpenSUSE Build Service, Ubuntu Launchpad, etc work those third party software repositories are at least hosted by a trusted maintainer of the store / repo itself. If anyone ever uploaded malware there, once found out, it would be taken down and the responsible users banned.

With distributed app stores under F-Droid, or the equivalent third party repos for Arch / Suse / Ubuntu, the host has absolutely no control over the behavior of third parties, and thus anyone can host all the hostile malware they want, and if users add those repos they give them absolute trust in doing so.

That isn't a valid security model by any estimation.
I don't think treating it as a moral issue is a useful way to fix the problem. If anyone wants to demonstrate some evidence that it works, I'll change my mind. All I've seen is a coarsening of discourse and a lot of finger-wagging to little effect.
Hey Biztos, why do you think it's better? I would love to know so we would do better in the future...

I think the author got that part right. They mention that racism feels good and that's partly because of what you said. It's a wiring quirk in the reptilian brain.
So, I'm starting a VR project that's going to need 180-degree (or thereabouts) stereoscopic video. Ready to spend money on cameras and actually get started.

"Cool! This should be straightforward, everyone uses GoPro cameras for that, so a I'll need to buy two GoPros!" was my immediate thought. All ready to give GoPro my money.

Oh, but they dropped stereo genlock after the 3+..... wait what?!?! VR filmmaking is one of those things that people are heavily experimenting with. Why would they purposely drop this segment when it's only just starting to pick up? This is a segment not filled by their ultra-expensive 360 rigs.

So off to eBay I go. Hmmmm.... do I need a 3, a 3+, a 3+ Black? A 2? Is there a 2 Pro or something? Do I need the 3D kit or the dual-Hero kit? Does it even still work with the latest firmware?

It's so confusing that even some people on eBay honestly weren't sure what they were selling.

There are a few things that could fill this niche, all right now frustratingly in 'pre-order' or 'might be out the end of this year' state. Yet GoPro had this and they just.... dropped it.

Too many different models in the past, just far too confusing.

For the record, I've gone with used GoPro Hero 2s from eBay. Just waiting on the sync cable now. Will see how that works out :)

Often they used to, or at least, played the game at a high level. In other cases the answer is that they lacked the physical ability. There is no such barrier to making money.

I'm very aware that the US is structured that way, but it doesn't really change anything. We built this mess, and we're going to have to build ourselves out again someday. Sure, it sucks that we structured our cities incorrectly, but plugging our ears and hoping the problem goes away isn't going to fix it.

I always thought that intellectual laziness was a large factor. It's much easier, cognitively, to judge someone by his or her race than by achievements and character.

This isn't the first meteorite that Curiosity has encountered.

From http://io9.gizmodo.com/curiosity-rover-finds-a-huge-metal-me...:

... It's an iron meteorite, similar to ones found in years past by Curiosity's forerunners Spirit and Opportunity, but is considerably larger than any of the ones the MER rovers came across… in fact, at 2 meters (6.5 feet) wide this may very well be the biggest meteorite ever discovered on Mars!

I am seriously wondering what the density of meteoritic material on the surface of Mars is. I am also seriously wondering if it might be an economically recoverable resource. Instead of launching an asteroid mining mission, you could land on Mars, drive your rover around picking up nickel-iron meteorites on the surface, and load them up on your rocket and return them to Earth.

Now of course you need more delta-v than an asteroid mission, but on the other hand we already know where Mars is, and unlike many asteroid mining candidates it has a relatively friendly orbit: no wild inclination, not outrageously elliptical, and somewhat frequent (and very regular) conjunctions with Earth.

The extra 5000 m/s of delta-v to return anything to Earth is certainly significant, but since you can use in situ propellant production it's not nearly so bad as it sounds.

And we already want to go to Mars anyway.
That is a slippery slope, if you want to talk about products or activities that "harm society"

Further then you have to define what "harm" it is doing.

I also suspect part of that "harm" you talk about is Costs associated with healthcare that is paid for by the taxpayer, meaning you likely support government run socialized health services. I do not.
1) The AI was just sythesizing answers given by human readers. It didn't do any of its own analysis of the data set.

2) The experiment was published in August, when the regular season was already two thirds completed. The cubs were well ahead of everybody at that point and were favourites to win (although in baseball that doesn't necessarily mean you are going to win in the postseason). Here are the standings at that Date: http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/standings.cgi?year=2...

You can see that the 10 playoff teams were ranked 1-5 in each league at that point. So predicting the playoff teams was just "Which 10 teams are leading right now", which they asked humans about.

The AI didn't predict the full post-season, just which two teams would be in the World Series, which happened to be the team everybody thought it would be from one league and the second placed team from the other.
While that is certainly good, people using Arduino now aren't going to spend £1k on IAR or whatever. Emblocks always seemed like a good option but as far as I can tell it isn't developed any more.

Qt Creator, Visual Studio Code, KDevelop etc. would be more welcome. I did write an exporter for Qt Creator actually a year or two ago and abandoned it after the move to Yotta. Guess it is time to revive it!

Btw where is the mbed team based?
Server side rendered HTML, simple forms with POST redirects. Little to no CSS or Javascript. Pick your back-end of choice: Java Spring, Python Django, Common Lisp (wink wink).

" People who watch Fox news don't want to hear about Trump rape allegations, they want to watch news casters talk about Evil Hillary. It's the reverse for CNN."

I think you are falling into your own "black or white" trap here.

Sean Hannity is singular in the way he is a sycophant for Trump. I struggle to think of a similar personality for Hillary on any other news network. I mean, CNN made a point to hire Trump's former campaign manager, and he seems to be on the air around half the time I randomly turn on their channel.
This is equivocation which will allow you to dismiss anything.
