Apple should just buy eero with change they can find in the couch. There is a real benefit to apple's business model to ensure a extremly high quality, easy to install wifi option exists. The market is so confusing with different standards and wildly different quality levels between devices. being able to walk into an apple store and get the one that is guaranteed to just work is really valuable. Even if an apple owned eero just breaks even, high quality wifi is so critical to both the mac and ipad product lines it's worth the investment.
I beg to differ. CloudFormation is great, but crafting CF templates for non-trivial backends is not for the faint of heart. Also iterating on them while tweaking things in CF templates and corresponding logic in micro-services running on Lambda is not the shortest/fastest feedback loop with the current AWS tooling. Also things are pretty hard to test.
After over a year of struggling with the current tooling, I've started working on a framework [0] that would allow writing serverless infrastructures at a higher abstraction level.

setTimeout(function () {
window.open(document.location.href.replace(document.location.hash, '') + '#' + Math.random(), '_self');
}, 0);
cat.click();
return "cat";
};
I think that's the point that the commenter you replied to was getting at. In other words, mocking people who claim it "works" because they believed it worked by the placebo effect.

Thank you for the throwaway quip. It is serving as food for thought for how to further develop the project.

FYI: Your follow-up replies read as highly invested in defending and justifying your "throwaway quip." So, if it genuinely was intended as a throwaway quip, no big, you are failing to effectively communicate that.

This is not tax advice but from what I've seen in news reports, the IRS has different rules for currency. The reason bitcoin users have to report every little gain/loss is that the IRS doesn't consider it currency.
Why not get the business appraised. The talked to the owner about a XX% of the difference in value when you sell it in 2 years. If the owner decides to keep it he gets it re-appraised and pays you that XX% of difference. Maybe in payments.

I used to have a blog about software development about 8 years ago. I would constantly receive bodily harm threats from people that didn't like my articles...and this was non-aggressive articles about databases.

I'm glad I had Whois privacy in this situation, because I wouldn't want someone sending things to my house or contacting my family.

Not allowing privacy will more easily allow anyone to get harassed for their personal beliefs.

I feel like after the election, the world has started to get more fascist. Everyone wants to weed out and punish anyone that supports Trump.
First: Good job on the author! I don't think I could make 300 application in a three months, and I am fortunate that I have never needed to. This is impressive determination and focus, and it paid off.

Second: Wow, programming is becoming a commodity. This is literally 1) Learn the latest trendy framework and nothing else, 2) Study to the test, 3) Interview well. Either the market will be flooded and salaries for generic JS devs will crash, or strong programmers need to find a way to differentiate themselves that cannot be copied by anyone in 2 months.
As to connotation's, that's faulty reasoning. The only correct response to any of my questions was, not enough information. Yet, you where more than happy to try and both pick a response and then justify it. Even when I directly said you were wrong.

Now, the same identical reasoning happens all over the place in the criminal justice system. Making the link between crime statistics and crimes almost meaningless. Arrest statistics are just that arrest statistics and they don't tell you about who was actually committing crimes.

PS: I suspect you feel very confidante about his race, except I never confirmed or denied your assumption.

Edit: TLDR; Making a judgement with limited evidence is a really bad habit. People soon forget they chose something because it was slightly better odds and reinforce the judgement so something that may have been even odds to start with often feels much more likely over time.
The term "functional programming" is overloaded, but I think there's a sensible way to split the term into two halves.

"Purely functional programming" is writing programs to resemble mathematical functions, with referential transparency and absence of side-effects and so forth. Also know as "what Haskell does."

"Function-oriented programming" is writing programs using functions as your main tool for abstraction, encapsulation, defining interfaces, unit of code division, etc. This part of functional programming is more typified by the Lisp family.

Most languages that are considered functional generally encourage both of these aspects, partly because they work well together. The confusion over definition comes from these two halves getting tangled, and some languages or programmers emphasizing one half over the other.

Non-functional languages that are becoming "more functional" are generally importing features from the "function-oriented" side of things, and adopting the "purely functional" aspect as a best practice convention, if at all. It's probably more accurate to say that they enable a functional style of programming, rather than that the are functional.

Look, if you get a full ride at a top school, then obviously you should do it.

Nobody disagrees about that.

That's not the question though. Because apparently students have 1 trillion dollars of debt. So apparently people are NOT receiving full rides to everywhere.

All these funds have some commonalities: highly statistical in nature, high probability trades, correlations, algorithms executing trades. But finding out any of the internals of these funds is next to impossible unless one has an "in".

Awesome! Brings back memories of playing with Rebirth. Love the different design.

Boy I still remember playing with Propellerhead Rebirth in the late '90s and that was pretty great at the time. It made me a bit of money in high school to simply create some basslines and burn them onto a CD for friends.

By the time Reason 3.0 came out I stopped playing with this kind of software and only really used tools like Audacity for editing sound files. But also, my taste for Electronic music had died down. It had become very generic for me for the most part.

Still though, it's cool to a web version of this software and the amazing things you can do with HTML5.

Apple can easily sell something like the Eero at the Apple stores and provide a similar (app based) setup. Apple tends to try to innovate where they think other companies are dropping the ball but the wifi router space is getting quite crowded. Not really an opportunity for Apple to blow everyone out of the water.
> Seems a lot better than letting another service control you, perhaps put up CAPATCHAs, perhaps mess up your networking, etc.

Disabling the CAPTCHAs is trivial, just set the security features to low or off. This does basically the same thing in terms of "mess up your networking" though. All your traffic is just routed through Google instead of CloudFlare. No real difference there. You can also kick the CF security up if you get attacked.

Google's will however cost you a crapload if someone decides to run even a fairly primitive layer 7 attack against you. So you better just hope you don't get hit, unless I'm missing something excluding attack bandwidth?
It's a prisoner's dilemma in the case where everyone controls their own wireless APs, sure.

In the case where the building is served by one major ISP, and they provide combination gateway+APs, I could see the ISP deciding to "solve" the problem by turning the whole building into one AP mesh (with only one AP actually active per unit sphere) where each client gets a VLAN with tagged QoSing over the last-mile "backplane" back to their own gateway.

Though, if you're going that far, you may as well just call yourself a WiMAX provider and tell people their gateways are just extension picocells for the network, rather than end-user equipment. Which is basically what you get already from the ISPs that offer "public wi-fi for customers at our hotspots" (i.e. broadcast by all APs on our business plan), except that said wi-fi would be the only product, and would be served by residential gateways as well.

I'm happy for this guy, and there are really good tips in here for managing an application funnel.

Like others, I'm surprised offers north of 110 are possible given his experience, and can't help but bristle a bit at him being a self described "full stack" developer when it appears he's a front end developer (does rails really count as being a backend engineer?).

But he worked exceptionally hard at the process (guessing having applied to 10x the places a typical engineering grad does?), and also has a strong background in business from a reputable university. For some jobs, especially at startups, knowing how to understand the business problem and deliver results can be really important. The challenge isn't the tech, it's combining just enough tech [1] with essentially being a product manager too.

[1] learning that "just enough tech" is not easy, and it's clear he worked hard to master a lot of material. It's just that many of us have been working that hard for many years and likely have more expertise / ability to learn new tech fast than can be gained by anyone in the course of a few months or a year; hence the initial surprise

Why are Cloudflare still sharing IPv6 addresses, when there should easily be enough for one per website? (And then with correct reverse DNS.)

The linked site [1] has a download of 134k hostnames. Filtering for the Cloudflare prefix, 2400:cb00:2048, there are still plenty of sites sharing an IP. For example, www.monolith.agency (a design agency) is on the same IP as www.bobshouseofporn.com (porn).

Maybe the same company hosts both websites, and it's not Cloudflare's issue, but that seems unlikely for a US porn site, Quebec design agency, Brazilian health site and Spanish programming site.

Google have 13,000 sites on the same IP, 2607:f8b0:4005:808::2013, looks like Blogger.

Insightful comment ...
This is what drives me crazy. I'm a bootcamp grad, and I've been interviewing for 6 months. I've spent EVERY single day of those six months, (besides applying and networking and interviewing), working on coding, design, projects, and leveling up so I can collaborate with a team. This guy spends all of his time working on stuff that is considered "level 2", and he will make double what I end up getting. Frustrating.
Actually the Play Store Developer account is often the source of people's Google accounts getting suspended. As a point of note, you should always publish apps on a completely separate account from the Google account you use, and keep all details like address, phone, and payment accounts separate, as to avoid either one being affected by the other.

With both the Play Store and the Apple App Store, since only one company decides whether or not your app is listed, developing a mobile app can be a pretty risky investment, since one company can make all your work worthless in short order.

I think most artists would agree that the line is drawn when a customer gives you a picture of their pet and says "paint that, exactly like the picture."

Certainly many, many artists throughout the centuries have painted commissioned work to survive, but when the customer demands an exact copy of the photo in another medium and the artist is allowed no subjective interpretation of the subject matter it ceases to be fine art.

Just to clean up one item: I did assume in the above that the rest mass of the billiard balls was unchanged in the inelastic collision. But we can drop that assumption and still prove that, if energy is not conserved in the center of mass frame, 3-momentum cannot be conserved in any frame other than the center of mass frame. Suppose the rest mass of the balls after the collision is M (instead of m). Then we have for the 3-momentum before (P0') and after (P1') the collision, in a frame with velocity u relative to the center of mass frame:

P0' = 2mu/sqrt[(1-u^2)(1-v^2)]

P1' = 2Mu/sqrt[(1-u^2)(1-w^2)]

But we can simplify this by writing down the total energy before (E0) and after (E1) the collision, in the center of mass frame:

E0 = 2m/sqrt(1-v^2)

E1 = 2M/sqrt(1-w^2)

So we can see that

P0' = E0 (u/sqrt(1-u^2))

P1' = E1 (u/sqrt(1-u^2))

Hence, if E0 > E1, we must also have P0' > P1. In other words, the only reason we happen to have P0 = P1 in the center of mass frame is that being in that frame is equivalent to having u = 0 in the above formulas.

(It is also straightforward to show that if energy is not conserved in the center of mass frame, it is not conserved in any frame. So the Lorentz invariance of the two conservation laws, energy and momentum, cannot be separated--they are inseparably linked.)
There has been quite a controversy about rubyspec afaik: the tldr is that the de-facto ruby spec is basically 'whatever piece of software capable of running rails'. This is because the ruby devs change stuff around very often and don't keep an official spec of the language, to the extent that the creator of rubyspec had given up.

This might have changed in the meantime, dunno.

Placebo in the experimenter, not the subject. That's why placebo-controlled experimental setups aren't sufficient. You need to make it double-blind.
I dunno if it will help, besides maybe for some ideas, but when I created my blog a year or so ago, I wanted something like a site generator without running anything on the backend.[1] I ended up doing everything in CSS/HTML/JS/JSON. JSON is used to store posts. I write a post normally using HTML, then use a tool to format it for JSON. Doing it this way allows my static site to run amazon for dirt cheap. Updating the site is just uploading a new JSON file.

I wish I would've developed it further to allow for markup to be used, but other projects always come up.

My sense is that it's just a good way to annoy people whose job isn't hiring. At best, you're risking annoying someone who is busy (and your email being deleted with no reply), at worst, you're actively penalizing yourself if you are demonstrating that you aren't willing to go through the standard hiring process that the company uses. (For other terrible ways that job applicants try to "stand out", Ask A Manager is a veritable goldmine[0]).

The most frightening part of this article concerns nuclear weapons:

In August, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough reported that, during a private meeting with a “foreign policy expert,” Trump had asked the expert “three times, in an hour briefing, ‘Why can’t we use nuclear weapons?’” In March, Trump asked Chris Matthews, “Somebody hits us within ISIS?—?you wouldn’t fight back with a nuke?” Trump has also repeatedly declared his desire to be “unpredictable” when it comes to the use of nuclear weapons.

> Nothing, if they diluted it 'correctly', or never bothered to put the poison in there to begin with

There are both high-dilutionists and low-dilutionists within homeopathy.[1][2] I'm not saying you should run out and buy a bunch of homeopathic remedies or whatever, but also realize that the mainstream 'skeptic' account of homeopathy is not especially accurate.

Also realize that the latest scientific research on food allergies involves homeopathic-like mithridatism, so even though the idea of a like-cures-like high dilutionist treatment isn't anywhere near a universal panacea, it does at least appear to work in certain limited cases.

For some strange reason people hate recruiters, but during my most recent job search - a month ago - I worked with seven recruiting companies. I was submitted to 15 jobs after filtering for commuting distance, technology, salary requirements.

First noticed that I filtered based on salary. Most companies don't divulge salary ranges but recruiters know that up front.

Out of the 17:
2 - positions already filled before I started the process

1 - after further investigation, the technology stack didn't meet my requirements

1 - had qualification I didn't meet

10 - companies that wanted phone screens

8 - phone screens

3 - in person interviews

3 - offers

All of this in only 2-3 weeks. There is some overlap and no company out of the 17 stopped the process (submitted -> phone screen -> in person -> offer). I either stopped the process after accepting an offer, the job req was put on hold, or the position was filled when the recruiter submitted it.

Two points. First, none of the submitted resumes disappeared into a black hole because I was using a recruiter. I knew my status for each job. The second point is that I'm no one special, I know plenty of developers that had the same experience.

Someone else asked how do you keep up with all of the applications - a spreadsheet.
I recently did it (the other way around):

- Contacts are straightforward, just export/import on their web platforms.

- Calendar is tricker; I ended up linking my old one to not miss existing events and just create new events in the new calendar.

Everything else, like photos, mails and 3rd-party apps have not been an issue for me because they connect to the same clouds/services as before.

Btw, since you can do most migrations from a browser, you may just try it without buying a phone first.
Thanks. I found this after adding the reply below since I felt the need to verify :)
