If I had a dollar for every time someone said "why don't we hire like Google does"?

Answer: Google can do what they do because of their scale, culture, systems, access to pots of money etc.

Google are Google. The rest of us are not and can't calibrate our hiring process to turn up only false negatives. We'd never hire anyone.
Cool, didn't know about these guys, tks! Our Trello support should be out this month, so this should add Trello two-way sync with JIRA, Asana and Wrike too.
In Australia that's generally called "special projects".
I have not read the terms and conditions for Microsoft's Office online services, however, I would not expect that Microsoft explicitly assumes much liability for regulatory compliance on behalf of customers under them. I tend to doubt that Microsoft would be a first choice target for litigation by a reasonably prudent lawyer or regulatory body these days.

Anyway, there are organizational cultures where free is almost too much money per employee per year...cause I've worked in a few.
Anyone, regardless of race and gender, can become a software engineer right now.

What do you mean by "strong" "borderline" and "homework"?
What I also don't understand is why doesn't Debian package it? Is it not fully free or does it have licencing issues like Atom?
Probably useful to cut it down as much as possible.
I do? I'm a professional user and I used a MBA for years bc I travel a lot. I had a VM, Sketch, Illustrator, and lots of other power hungry tools running. Last year I switched to a MacBook bc I couldn't handle the shitty MBA screen.

It worked, but I'm excited I can now afford, in terms of bad space, a more powerful laptop (with Touch ID, a larger screen, retina, more RAM, faster processor, bigger HD, bigger trackpad, better keyboard, touch bar).

I'm very excited for this release.
Where I currently work, we have vacation time around 4 weeks every year. On first year I dont think I ever took any vacations, just a day off from time to time. Now I've been taking vacations 2 weeks in summer and 2 weeks in winter, more or less. Its also more flexible and I can take a day off if I just ask on a timely manner. I dont actually do that very often, I work a lot, but its just a great feeling - knowing that you can take a break sometimes. That feeling alone can kinda motivate you to work and be more productive.
lol, they just rolled back to 1.6 since users were DDOSing npmjs.org ;)
The question is not whether we should give corrupt organizations a pass (we shouldn't), it's whether we should try to keep Wikileaks honest, given that its position gives it strong incentives to do shady things without any transparency.

Wikileaks' core activity forces it to walk a very very thin moral and ethical line. I think we the public have obligation to make sure they don't cross it, especially if we benefit from the leaks.

I'll note that in another context, it was for a long time not alright for prosecutors to use illegally obtained evidence, in order to discourage prosecutors and police from breaking the law, even at the cost of potentially letting criminals go free. Why doesn't that logic apply here?
> People will be dancing like Michael Jackson until the end of time.

There's a curious quality to MJ's dance. His moves look simple, and are endlessly copied, by amateurs and pros alike. But none of them come off looking like MJ. All I can say is it's that last 2% of the move that makes it work, and nobody has been able to copy that. I know his poses and moves are all very carefully laid out and practiced, but they look so natural on him, they look like they are him.
Microsoft really knows how to do dev tools. If only they were as disciplined and effective with some of their other product lines.

I haven't tried it myself, so it probably does not feel as fast and fluid as MagSafe.
So what's the problem? Buy a Windows laptop?
Happened to a colleague of mine while he was on leave after the birth of his first child.

He was allowed to come into the office one weekend (escorted by security) to collect his things.

Welcome to fatherhood.
A couple decades ago, I worked support for a smaller national ISP (since swallowed and re-swallowed up), where at the time the "unofficial" drug test policy was, "you bring 'em, we'll test 'em."

I do think the porn industry by nature tends to push some limits in terms of tech... It's to the likes of the riaa, mpaa and LinkedIn to be the ones who push the bounds of unscrupulous tech.

I've been saying for years, eventually it will have to come full circle, that ad delivery controls will have to be first party, and that if they continue to push the overbearing, over the top ads, people will just not read the content and leave. That's what will start to come next. FTR, it didn't have to be via websocket, it could still be services, rpc, and other channels... though websocket to a canvas would allow for a different level of control, and less chance for adblock bypass.

All the same, it's interesting and somewhat cool...
Multiple encoding vendors won't give you much. They're just different people writing different shell scripts that run ffmpeg (and not donating anything to the original project).

I guessit lets you avoid a little price lock-in, but you could also just write your own shell script.
I'm not assuming anything.

I'm saying it's not being entitled to want high levels of equity as a first employee. It all depends on what you bring to the table.

Given how close to random walks (e.g., with absorption/reflection) some of these concoctions are, the probabilist in me wants a higher-level explanation, in a few cases, to be part of the post. Either way, it's fun to look at.
No, if you're writing a production self-driving system that becomes important. Class time should be spent on fundamentals.

And here's[1] a project inspired by Gary's talk to design and implement a new escape protocol and a new virtual terminal to support these sorts of use-cases. (I'm not involved with the project.)

Sometimes I wonder if software engineers are half as smart as they think they are. I can't think of any precedent or similar situation: a corps of highly skilled workers pro-actively sabotaging themselves in order to share the fate of their country's dying middle class: longer hours, shrinking salaries and cut-throat competition for employment.

I am glad that I have some fuck-you money now. Because the prospects as software engineer seem, frankly, rather poor now.

The first step is to stop thinking that this industry - somehow - matters more than any other or that herein lies the future of humanity. Half of that is marketing garbage and the other results from free kool-aid parties that were held after a few of us either built successful companies or made good exit deals with bigger ones. There is an alarming amount of people who are not only drunk, but blind too.

I might be the bearer of bad news, but hear me out: this industry is just like any other. In other words, you are subject to the same dynamics that fuel workers - shareholders dualism everywhere. Basic game theory: you are going to get screwed and that's not funny.
HIPAA compliance...nice, just killed all the "secure email/chat for healthcare" startups out there, since this is coming from the makers of Outlook/Office/every enterprise machines' OS.

Wonder how long until Slack upgrades their compliance.
Your comment absolutely made my day! I just thought I'd point out that the specific geographic locations you mentioned are technically not official doctrine but are personal beliefs held by definitely many members. [Source: Current Mormon who prescribes to alternative theories]
Many failures. Not all failures.
I suspect governments voluntarily leak them data about other nations.

That big tax cheating leak that mostly leaked famous non-usa figures....particularly Russian and Chinese.
Sorry didn't notice earlier. A mid-tier (20k$/year range) for-profit private HS in Los Angeles proper. And just to be clear, by foreigners I meant kids on student visas who had no family in the US.
Title seems misleading. The author already acknowledged that the financial contributors wanted to remain anonymous, so this is just namedropping high profile users.
No, but it has a set of machine-readable examples which are intended to cover JSON's present underspecified edge cases:

What's even worse- in the UK everyone but full-time students has to pay council tax, which is a tax on the property you live in even if you don't own it. Try telling that to the Greeks. They think you're joking.
I was once placed on a medication that went too far that direction... where I couldn't break out of the single thought path. Where driving was enough of a distraction, that where I was going would slip by, and I had to circle around multiple times. And I had once lost three hours of time and have a couple hundred tabs open in my browser as I started reading an article, then just kept stearing through, etc.

I was encouraged to stick with it for a month to see if it normalized, it didn't... I don't even remember the medication, but would never want to experience that again... I'll take the half dozen to dozen stray thoughts in my head at once... I'm far more effective that way. Though stress makes it hard to get/stay asleep.
And in before someone starts ranting about "institutional racism/sexism". No, it doesn't exist in our industry anymore than the rest of the western world, and that's very little; SPECIALLY in a widely left-leaning world such as academia.

The overwhelming majority of the engineering world is welcoming to women and non-whites (I can personally attest to the latter) just like it is of the much reviled "white man", even more at times. As a society we're quick to shame any hint of racism and sexism; anyone who could deny that with a straight face is living in another world.
It was funny, I've just installed vscode in an old machine and came to HN. On the first page there as a newer version. Holy Shit! They've updated between the install and visiting the page. I was almost buying Microsft

Well, I'm delighted by your comment ;)
I've found the ftp-sync extension's sftp support adequate for my use so far. I've definitely found full-syncs to be a bit slow when there's a lot of stuff in the folder, but it seems ok so far.
I mean you may if the odds are good.
Padding is redundant when base64url is encapsulated in a quoted string.

If you're writing a state machine-based parser which is processing a quoted base64url it will, in amortized time, be able to find a close quote token faster than it will be able to find valid close padding.
I couldn't find a good tutorial about using VSCode for Python development. I'd like to setup debugging, intellisense and the interactive shell, but the info is sparse. Do you have any suggestion?
I work for a company that doesn't advertise unlimited vacation, and instead phrases it as "we don't have a formal vacation policy, it's all up to your supervisors discretion."

Basically, as long as you're being reasonable, and you communicate your intention early enough for deadlines and staffing to be adjusted accordingly, they're cool with it.

The entire company culture supports a healthy work/life balance and leadership constantly drills it into everyone's head that what's important are results and not work. They also lead by example... my supervisor just took a three week vacation, where he was almost completely out of contact. His projects all slowed down and he had a lot of stuff to catch up on when he got back, but it definitely wasn't frowned upon. If anything, it was encouraged.
It's when it takes weeks for something that should be rubber-stamp approved it becomes more of an issue...

For the record, I'm currently working at a financial institution, worked at another previously, and moving into a position with a medical industry company. It's a matter of striking a balance.. and there are others that cope with it far better than I do.

I still find it funny, when you have full github proper access, but can't access gists... and then when searching for things, a lot of programming examples, and even blog articles reference gists... that is painfully stupid.

The purpose of TJSON is to be self-identifying and schema-free. If you want a schema, use Protobufs or the myriad JSON schema languages.
Zcash does exactly this.
It's not like it was very difficult to have a simple key binding list before the update. There are many json to html table websites out there, or you could just paste it in vs code and use multiple cursors to remove all the json syntax in like 10 seconds.

I think it's even more likely due to the fact that 4 out of 5 laptops they sell are labeled "MacBook Pro" - including the MacBook Air replacement.

If Chevy named the majority of their cars Malibu (1/2 ton truck), Malibu (3/4 ton truck), Malibu (2 door sports car), Malibu (4 door electric sedan), Malibu (4 door full-size sedan) then they would have the largest amount of Malibu's sold ever too.
Visual Studio Code 1.7 overloaded npmjs.org, release reverted
At the start of our teens, we lose the intrinsic value that society places on us as children. For many boys, after this, their only worth is in what they can accomplish, for themselves or for others. For many girls, they learn that they are intrinsically valuable as women, as long as they're attractive.

It's not an issue of 'explaining' the odds. It's an issue of women knowing that they're worth something in and of themselves, competing against men who are motivated by a lifetime of experience telling that if they can't achieve, they are nothing.
> Just adding some fixed types doesn't really help that much.

It brings the set of scalar types you can express in a JSON message on par with other serialization formats like Protobufs:

With respect to your "Future Roadmap", I'm obliged to encourage you to look at Cloud Foundry.

It has some code in common with Docker at the lowest level, but the bulk of it is written from the ground up, fully TDD, fully pair-programmed, proved in production for several years running.

I'm also obliged to disclose that I work for Pivotal, the majority donor of engineering to Cloud Foundry.

Neither of those are pleasant, but neither is as bad as T-Mobile, who's primary marketing campaign is about what apps do and don't count towards data caps.

They've also been promoting sleazy marketing strategies like claiming to have "no contract", while stabbing people by cancelling people's device payment plans if they cancel service. I mean, they have only gotten worse since their primary marketing appeal was an attractive woman in a skin-tight leather suit.

The whole point of equity is to measure what's invested. You could be doing 20% of the current work of a company, but that does not account for all the past contributions that got the company there in the first place.

Equity is granted on a vesting schedule to approximate the future contributions of a person. If that approximation does not accurately represent the reality over time, it should be reviewed and renegotiated alongside performance.
Well, Wikileaks goes and does things like "leak" a bunch of Turkish emails containing nothing which "exposes" government action and which does put ordinary citizens -- many of them already vulnerable -- at risk.

At that point Wikileaks needs to be auditable to find out who decided that would be a good thing to do and why.
I am finding Flesky much better than any of the swyping keyboards.

I installed it mostly so I could customize the backdrop, but I stayed because those few added gestures make prose input so much more efficient.

Still entirely awful and terrible for writing code though.

Delete the stupid Gif-Keyboard plugin, add in the "OMW" one for common-phrases-shortcuts (then build lots of templates), add the copy/paste bar, and the numbers row.

I like the fireworks-noises plugin too, audible feedback is helpful[1], but wish it sounded more like Ziggy off of Quantum Leap.

They appear to have ignored my suggestions on their forums to make it sound that way, and can't see a way to make my own plugin.

[1] - A feature of my S7 that nobody I've ever noticed talk about online is the ability to control the volume so easily just by putting your thumb over the speaker as you hold the phone. The fireworks noises are basically muted that way if you're trying to type in public ;)
I was so confused. Thank you.
> Android is great but i miss linux-like feeling of possibilities.

One way to take a step in this direction without root is with Termux and its addons (android 5+ only). It's made me much more content on android, although it'll only be truly comfortable if you plug in a keyboard or your phone has a physical keyboard.

Regarding Linux... the Surface Book (and Pro) are rather unique devices, as far as hardware is concerned. You loose a lot of core functionality if you run anything except Windows on them. I've tried.

If you want a strictly Windows-only device, they're not bad. (Buggy drivers aside.) The N-trig stylus technology is absolutely amazing if you do graphic design. But if you want to dual boot into Linux, you'll be happier with a more traditional laptop.

To be honest, I tried both a Surface Pro 3 and a Surface Book as my primary laptop. In the end, I keep going back to my 2012 MacBook Air. At least for me, Apple still has an edge in overall experience.

I was pretty excited about tamper evident logging from some work I was doing (medical records). I haven't delved into the P2P/consensus part, but I could see how that might be useful too.

Apart from the currency, I haven't thought of another use case for PoW.

A buddy keeps pestering me about blockchain-based voting schemes, which eliminates the secret ballot (meaning: non-starter), but I got curious any way.
Is trying to stop a country from obtaining nuclear weapons in violation of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty really morally equivalent to interference with a democratic election?

I'd say the exact opposite. No company pays above market average by accident.
It doesn't seem like there is even an understanding of the criticism based on his response in the article.

Let me spell it out explicitly:

The criticism is that this is a Pro machine. Pro people care about performance and features.

The decision to optimize for thinner and lighter at the expense of other useful features is the criticism. The weight and size were fine before. I don't care. I'd be fine with bigger and heavier too. All I care is that it fits in a normal size backpack / travel case.

As a photographer I would need have an SD card reader now and the vast majority don't come in USB-C. If I already had a reader I would now need a dongle to convert it. That's more hassle and more things to lug around. I already need to carry several bags worth of studio gear, the less I need to carry the better.

In terms of video, there really isn't any compelling reason to upgrade until Kaby Lake is out. The increased 4K encoding and decoding is quite significant. It would have been nice to have the MBP come out earlier, that way another MBP could be released shortly after the Kaby Lake release. If it takes another 1.5 years before another MBP then it would be really far behind the best possible hardware.

In short, people who buy the MBP want a Pro laptop, not the Air.

Honestly, based on what I'm seeing right now, professional software developers, photographers, and videographers seem to be ignored.

I switched to Mac when Apple started using Intel. Based on what I'm seeing now, I'm exploring switching back to Windows.

If I'm not your target market anymore, so be it. I can appreciate the business reasons to concentrate on making money. But don't delude yourself into thinking you're serving Pro or creative users anymore.
Was using vimStyle, I'll try some of the other ones.
When's the last time you had to modulo a number? I feel like when I was first asked this question I got hung up on that more that anything.
However, equal opportunity does not directly lead to diversity. It's possible, even likely, that genders are biased towards certain careers even when there is no discrimination at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjernevask, a social documentary by Norwegian comedian and sociologist Harald Eia, has a rather interesting segment on this exact issue.
Since the added noise is not just noise, but especially engineered perturbations to maximally activate the output neurons for a certain class -- if you want to draw a comparison to humans, one could look at the hyperstimulus/supernormal stimulus.

> This first example of the Berryman Logical Image Technique (hence the usual acronym BLIT) evolved from AI work at the Cambridge IV supercomputer facility, now discontinued. V.Berryman and C.M.Turner hypothesized that pattern-recognition programs of sufficient complexity might be vulnerable to "Gödelian shock input" in the form of data incompatible with internal representation. Berryman went further and suggested that the existence of such a potential input was a logical necessity.
Why America Needs India’s Rockets
In some ways, people feeling apathetic about elections is a luxury: not having to care about what the government is or is not doing, especially as it relates to your own livelihood, is something rare in history. High turnout (in the US) happens when there is something special going on.
