Dear Apple users,

There are still wifi routers that you can use. Which one you choose makes almost no difference whatsoever. Just like with Apple, you can go out and buy a random wifi router, take it out of the box and plug it in, and it will just work. Stop freaking out.

Love, the non-Apple universe.

I found that for the New Zealand earthquakes last week, that Twitter was a better source than Reddit for information that was actually relevant to me as a local.
Well, of course they do. But what they "like" is a pretty trivial level of analysis.

Let's say you invest 5-10 years into a startup. Which would you rather have? A 30% chance at a $10M payday, or a 5% chance at a $100M payday? The answer is not "Well, I'll just repeat until the 5% chance materializes."
I have a feeling that we'll see new wifi-emitting hubs from Apple in the near-term. They just won't be what we conventionally think of as routers, and will feature a host of new features to support a new ecosystem of Apple products for the connected home. e.g. thermostats. The new centralized hubs will be different enough in concept from airports to support abandoning the airport line completely.
Please drop the condescencion.

I didn't say the terms were unintentionally used, I said they were empty stereotypes from conservative propaganda.

Regarding their emptiness: Can you define the terms? Do you have some data to back up the existence of the demographic and their purported behavior?
Easy to do when you make six figures and don't have a mortgage and a wife. That said I'm trying to do just this on 70k with a mortgage and a wife.

Edit: easier to do
> I can't remember the last time I plugged my iPhone into my MBP.

Yesterday at an airport to charge my phone! But I haven't synched via a cable in ages.
> So you can only reason about things that have names?

I think the point was that you can debug things that have names because they are separately watchable.

But apart from that breaking things down and naming them can make for easier comprehension. This is true in written English: Naming actors when explaining something and using an active voice is generally recommended. e.g "The user enters a password and the program encrypts it and stores it in the database" Rather than: "Passwords will be stored encrypted"

But also in mathematics. When working something out it's better to name intermediate values (x,y) and then use them in new equations rather than use the equivalent of a point free style that you sometimes see in functional programs.
Is this so they can build their own Blockchain?
> so they would not allocate an intermediate list

Not quite. Lazy sequences make it so that thinking about fusion/deforestation makes sense. This is an optimization the compiler can make. Naively, you still end up with as many allocations as before (just in a different order).

In Haskell, this sort of optimization is actually user-customizable using REWRITE RULES. And you get it for lists out of the box.
I was speaking more or less about sauces or additional butter.

That being said in my experience rested meat actually spills/explodes more juice on initial cut as it is like a balloon. Unrested and already cut meat have the juice in the plate where the sawing motion of a serrated knife has little impact.

Besides really good meat aka aged fatty pieces actually have very little juice. It is the sauce on top.
The rotary controls aren't working like that at all for me; that's actually how I expected them to work, once I learnt that they weren't rotary (my initial expectation). For me, they are moving solely in terms of vertical mouse movement; up goes clockwise; down, anti.

Actually, now I've used them for a bit, I find them fine to use. The initial learning curve is steep, but maybe it's worth it. What I'd ask for next is keyboard compatibility :)
Horribly annoying to whom exactly? You? A person with a tech job who couldn't figure out how to create an email filter for the words "job" and "resume". OP increased his response rate almost 4x. Why wouldn't he recommend this practice?
Could still be construed as ethical so long as they were focused on catching anonymized criminals (CP, scammers, etc). Of course that kind of research can lead to others using the same strategy to de-anonymize all TOR users.
I literally cannot imagine how much work they've put into this. Just dealing with warring language factions sounds utterly exhausting to me. Say what you want about canny self-promotion, but this is a true public service. I do wish they had a live link to each framework mentioned on the left column.
If I had the choice between an unproven-policy or nothing I would choose nothing. The reason is simple: failed policies cause intangible but very real harm. The fact that the harm is intangible means you will never have the anecdotal evidence of its harm and are instead left with the unquantifiable number of all the businesses that could have been if only they weren't regulated out of existence. Clearly you can see the danger in this because it harms a party that cannot defend itself: the economy. Make no mistake, both nature and the economy are very sophisticated ecosystems and we need both to thrive.
Better automation than a system where most serious applications expose all functionality to the command line? You've got to be kidding.

Better supported, more consistant, yes. But more capable? I doubt it.
I personally think that a good alternative is the Synology Router (RT1900ac I believe is the model number) and plug a USB hard drive into its USB port.

The router itself is $150 and you can easily find even like a 5TB external HDD for another $150.
One of my friends works at the STSCI on various visualization and simulation tools (all web-based, written in a modern stack!) for planning missions for this thing. It's a really really neat project.

The telescope itself is "scriptable" using a (truly ancient) version of JS via a really old implementation that I've seen referenced but can't find right now. There's a lot of open information about the JWST, but it's not widely reported on. Definitely worth checking out if you're interested in space, technology, and the systems we actually deploy into the void!

Only 35% of millenials have student loan debt: http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/188984/americans-big-d.... As you concede, if you are part of the one-third that doesn't go, it's probably because you couldn't get in. But to the extent the government should be spending public funds to help people, those are the people who it should help first. Moreover, on a dollar basis, it's the people who have the most education that will likely have the most debt. E.g. interest free student loans will help those who do a couple of semesters of community college a little bit, but will really help out the doctors, lawyers, etc. who take on six-figure debt.

This is part of a larger phenomenon of the American welfare system helping people who are already relatively better off. Own a million dollar house? You can deduct tens of thousands of dollars a year in mortgage interest! Have $200,000 in debt after going to a private college and getting a masters degree? The government will forgive it! Did you make a six figure income during your working years? Great, the government will not only give you the disproportionate share of social security benefits, it will pay out more than you put in!
So much for "There's Only One Way To Do It". :)
Tiling window manager with focus follows mouse for OS X
monolith.agency has address 104.28.8.19
monolith.agency has IPv6 address 2400:cb00:2048:1::681c:813

Notice that the IPv4 address is embedded in the last 32 bits of the IPv6 address. I would assume that this allows both addresses to be generated from the same configuration, rather than trying to keep two copies in sync.
My initial interpretation, when I had heard about the EMET EOL, was that Microsoft was doing it as a way to spin removing dev effort from EMET into leveraging people onto Windows 10.

Now I'm not sure - Windows 10 doesn't have the full featureset, and I don't _think_ Microsoft is likely to actually introduce the entire featureset into Windows 10 with much lead time before the EOL.

If they do, though, it would certainly be a nice carrot AND stick to get people up to at least a certain update version for that functionality.
What if you always recurse into the smaller half, and use tail-recursion/looping to process the rest? Doesn't that keep the space usage bounded to O(log(n))?
No, you don't understand: the conclusion of the Chinese room argument is precisely your statement "more stuff inside is needed for understanding it, than just input and output." That's precisely why consciousness is not a reduction to executing the proper computer program.

Maybe you're not clear on what computers are? I strongly encourage you to look up for example the definition of Turing machines. They do not have any "stuff inside"; they consist of a subset of mathematical functions from bitstrings to bitstrings,

data NextMove s v = GoLeft s v | GoRight s v | Halt v
newtype TuringMachine s v = TuringMachine (s -> v -> NextMove s v)

A Turing machine is a mathematical function, a subset of (s, [v]) -> [v] that can be generated by the above functions.

Mathematical functions are defined as pairs of inputs and outputs. There literally is no "stuff inside" them. They're just sets of (input, output) pairs satisfying left-uniqueness: if (i1, o1) and (i1, o2) are both in the function then o1 = o2 and they were the same pair all along.

Again, Searle is happy that our brains are computers and happy that our brains are conscious. But they are not conscious by virtue of running the right computer program with their computational aspects. In fact, getting you to compute something is relatively hard and unnatural, which is why computers are so great as calculators whereas it takes many years to teach humans the same.
That was a very caustic remark. If your looking for sympathy, you will not find it with me like that. If you are looking for conversation, this is not how you keep it with me. Thank you for your time.

In your opinion.

An opinion has no nothing to do with what a fact is and whether snopes accurately debunks them.
> I guess I'm just sad that the JavaScript+HTML community have been taken over by people who don't really seem to like JavaScript+HTML much.

I'm inclined to agree, although, to be honest, it doesn't help that JavaScript and HTML really suck for developing applications. And you can't really blame them, because they weren't designed for that. We happened to shoehorn them into these roles because their portability and accessibility were so convenient, rather than focusing on building something better. So, this is where we are.

However, having got my start with Web development back in 2003, I very much remember a time when Web development was simpler. When jQuery came out is when everything started going downhill. That's when everyone decided that serving a buttload of third-party JS with your payload was an acceptable thing to do, and it's only gotten worse since then. And it's probably tumblr's fault or perhaps Reddit's fault that putting your text inside of an image became an acceptable thing to do.

At some point, every developer cared about how much of the system's resources their apps were leeching. Then, as resources became more and more plentiful, developers stopped caring, and now we have the occasional blog posts, like "How I Reduced the Number of Servers We Need", when someone rediscovers the lost art of being aware of your resource consumption.

Wirth's Law is probably my biggest disappointment with computing.
Intel is only so flexible. They didn't make new cpus they accelerated the development of chip packages by a few months so the installed processor could take up less room.

>If Apple wanted more energy-efficient RAM for their MacBook's, with their volumes, Intel would be happy to help.

The lack of support for the LPDDR3 greater than 16GB is a problem in the memory controller. Intel would have to respin the silicon to fix this issue for DDR3 when they are moving to DDR4. Intel is not going to fix an silicon issue on a product(Skylake) when they have already released the successor(Kabylake).
> The main problem is that AppleScript only appears to be a natural language. In fact [it] is an artificial language, like any other programming language. [E]ven small changes to the script may introduce subtle syntactic errors which baffle users. It is easy to read AppleScript, but quite hard to write it."

- AppleScript by William R. Cook (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/Drafts/2006/ashopl.pdf)

My first programming language was Applescript and I have to say I agree. I'd spend most of my time coaxing the language of my code until the compiler could recognize its grammar. (Also, without an external application like UIElementInspector, just forget trying to figure out the incantations to properly manipulate windows and their buttons) The biggest strength of Applescript was the ability to pipe out to the shell for areas it sucked in. There are also a mountain of gotchas that newbies ha ve to watch out for: making sure the application has focus, escaping quotes properly, posix paths vs aliases, data types (text vs integer), and much more. I have to say the best parts of Applescript were the documentation (APIs exposed as "dictionaries" by each scriptable app), and being able to create "native" apps really easily as well as UIs/dialogs. (though with codesigning its utility to beginners is further reduced)
Hi Brian,

Thank you very much! I'll go fix that. Probably has to do with the wider screen. Also, good idea with regards to the leaders. I'll implement that.

Any other recommendations? What would you think of a the option to store books in a to-read list?

Cheers!
> Experience and track record are the most important things in securing a position. Luckily in tech, you can build your own experience by doing things and not waiting for things to be handed to you.

Very true. As a new pilot, you have to pay/fight for flight time to build experience before moving up. As doctor/surgeon, you have to be in a certain situation with close supervision to practice your craft and gain experience, which is expensive.

In almost all tech, this is not a requirement, which is what I love about tech.
I think their strategy going forward is to sell overpriced phones and watches to people who don't know any better.

Their computing platform has effectively been left behind: from five-year-old chips in laptops which haven't received a substantial update in almost as long, to their flagship prosumer "desktop" PC which is as unremarkable as it is unexpandable, nothing seems competitive anymore, let alone the bleeding edge upon which a lot of their products used to be positioned. The fact that the UE from their phones and tablets is being lifted and shoehorned into OS X (whoops, "MacOS") at the expense of usability and stability is more than a little off-putting, too.

It seems like all they care about these days are their mobile phones and tablets, and the iTunes universe that goes with them. I couldn't care less about any of that.
>More so, this is another Satanists/Rock and Roll converting our kids issue

No offense, but your post makes it sound like might have missed the point of the article. This isn't about "converting" kids to anything. (In fact, thankfully, the kids in this case seem totally oblivious to the role they're playing here.)

The issue is that a few jerkwads are sneakily tricking kids into saying -- or sometimes acting out -- things that titillate the jerkwads' sexual fantasies. It's troubling because someone is using kids as unwitting pawns in a sex game.

If we agree on the point of the article, then comparing it to "gay sex" -- which exploits no one, let alone children -- is, frankly, offensive.
srsly, do the Japanese even technology?
I think what you are witnessing here is a shift in demographics within the company. When Jobs was around, product was king. When engineers said we needed these components, the business folks would figure out how to make the economics work.

Now what we are witnessing is the product people are not in charge. The business folks are. So you start to see them tell the product folks they can't do something because it is not cost effective and that is profound.
Is this a claim in the form of a question?

They could do both, after all.

You could achieve both your core requirements from the final two paragraphs by having, effectively, a slider control underneath the rotary dial. The slider is the actual control — behaving as you describe in para 2 — and the rotary dial is merely for pleasing visual feedback. The GUI would have to emphasise the roles of those two separate parts somehow.

15 minutes per company for applications is high. Organization helps a lot, and you can really optimize your workflow for sending out resumes.

Finding the company: approximate amount of time spent here is 5 seconds. You have a spreadsheet, just go to the next one on the list.

Changing the cover letter: template it with variables. Should end up being a single bash command, most of the time is locating and properly formatting company name, person of contact, and filling out a couple sentences about why you're interested. 90 seconds when you're in the flow of things, tops.

Replying to emails and the like properly counts as part of the organization for the phone and technical screens.

There's time costs for when the application process includes forms that take a bunch of time to fill out. Not because you finish ~20 minute applications, though, but a certain percentage of the ones you look at you wind up having to abort due to those barriers, so you amortize the cost in there.

If you can handle really boring repetitive work, and you're not doing much else that day, you can wind up sending out a hundred applications in a day without too much fuss. For scheduling phone screens, set up a Google Calendar and/or a youcanbook.me and let the other party pick a time that works for them. Prep for phone and technical screening has little marginal cost - mostly it'll be spending a few minutes grabbing notes on business models and tech stacks so you can look good, along with jotting down notes afterwards about follow-up and ideas to improve on.

On-site basically counts as a full day.

>Also, I would have targeted applications to a lot less than 291 companies. I guess if I was trying to get my first job I'd be a lot less picky, but the 'ideal' company to work at can be few and far between.

It's a numbers game. You want to look at as many as possible, so you can pick after you have information about them. Basically, it's probably easier to filter out companies based off of actually talking to people there, rather than going down the rabbit hole of figuring out your desiderata and researching how companies fit it.

tl;dr - the actual application process looks like it could've been done over 5 weeks, given prep work was complete. One week sending out a giant pile of applications, one week doing phone screens, technical screens, coding challenges, then just over two weeks of doing on-site interviews.
> The whole concept didn't make sense in the 19th century, and it certainly doesn't today.

The reason it doesn't make sense is because you're mischaracterizing it. Most homeopaths didn't believe that every substance that caused similar symptoms would be a cure, but rather they believed that these substances would be a fertile ground to look for treatments. It's basically like how today we consider drugs that cure diseases in rats as being promising to study further in humans.

It was homeopaths who introduced the idea of clinical trials to mainstream medicine, and if they believed that like cured like in every instance this obviously wouldn't have happened.
For reference, the tsunami from the Tohoku earthquake from 2011 (which caused the Fukushima disaster) was as high as 40m.

Japanese vibrating bed?

Motels in America have had those since the 60's.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Houghtaling

John Joseph Houghtaling (pronounced HUFF-tay-ling;[1] November 14, 1916 – June 17, 2009[1]) was an American entrepreneur and inventor who in 1958 invented the Magic Fingers Vibrating Bed, a common feature in mid-priced hotels and motels from the 1960s to the early 1980s.

(Well, maybe they are Japanese, now, haha).

The Japanese invented massage chairs some years before this, though, and a vibrating bed might be regarded as a derivative thereof:

Robotic massage chairs were first brought to market in 1954 by the Family Fujiryoki company.

Anyway, cheers to lucky you to be in Japan, even if shaken up!

I'm a software developer and I haven't experienced any of those problems. My resume shows that I've been in the industry for at least 17 years and that's after taking my first job off of my resume. I graduated from an unremarkable state college, and I'm a minority.

When you're juggling 17 job opportunities knowing that you have a good shot at a least 10 offers, you really don't have to negotiate. Between the salary offers and the recruiters willingness to throw in a signing bonus, you can let the system work for you.

No matter how good you are negotiating, if the company has a budget of $90,000 and you are looking for $130,000, you can't square that circle and you won't know a lot of the time until after you've wasted time going through the process.

Also over the past 9 years I've had four jobs. I made a mistake and contacted a recruiter from the same company where I was already working with another recruiter and she told me that I was already working with one of her coworkers. Another recruiter mentioned their "morning meetings" where they all get together to share candidates and jobs. It's in the recruiters best interest to find a candidate a job even if they aren't the account manager for a specific company, knowing that a good developer can find a job in less than two weeks.

That being said, I've always been good at writing tech resumes and I am a good interviewer.
