I was trying to be witty, but obviously my intent wasn't properly communicated.

I meant, these kind of comments, in an interview (or any PR piece) are the result of a calculated marketing effort, and the choice of word is carefully chosen to depict the company in the best light, rather then in the most accurate one.

Without better information from unbiased sources the cynical view is the best way to deal with PR stories, and so I can only assume that it is false, misleading or at best self-delusional.

I have AutoHotKey and ShareX. The first reads keystrokes from anywhere, and the second takes screenshots from anywhere and anything.

It's pretty clear that Windows applications most definitely can do that.

Like someone below said bots are more complicated than just clicking on what brings them money.

In order to be not detected as bots, they need to behave like humans. Hence, they like and visit websites that they have no special interest in. Think of it this way: 50% of what they click is just something random, other 50% is what their masters programmed them to do.

This really doesn't have to do anything with Facebook. There are companies in Russia and India that sell likes, follows, etc. These bots then have to fake their identity and as a result they like stuff that you pay for as Facebook advertiser. I am sure Facebook does something to mitigate this and block the bots but it's a never-ending game for them and those who sell fake like/follows/etc.

His whole point is that reading comments first is the mistake. It primes you with thoughts and opinions with little to no cognition required (recognizing they still may be valuable, but those comments will be there after your analysis...)

What we really need is to develop our own critical reading skills, how to connect dots on our own etc. I agree that seeing others comments first before starting that process might be a negative for many reasons.
We should bump this up to the top.

The first two games came out at the worst time for me - A-levels precluded me from spending any time at all with them (that's probably for the best, though - a few years later, Morrowind and the absence of parental oversight killed my degree stone dead :) ).

Fallout 3, NV and 4 have all in turn nudged me to try the originals again, but they're just old-fashioned enough that I struggle to get into them, every time. These days I think I've resigned myself to only getting to play them properly in the event of a long stay in hospital.
Is this true? Could you provide citations? In all the time i've looked into hydro- and aero- ponics system, i've never heard this claim. would be interesting to learn about it.

Forgive me if the idea appears somewhat naive. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this but, given that the "frozen" water exhibits thermal properties of ice, in theory couldn't a closed system be built to generate electricity given the constant displacement of water running through the system. By taking advantage of the constant cycle of temperature variations within the system?

EDIT: Just looked it up, it appears difference in weight between 4 deg C and 21 deg C (1 ft^3 of water) is a little more than 1/10th of 1 lb.

That was the main reason I migrated: processing everything internally in Unicode and then encoding/decoding as needed for the outside world creates a well defined 'place-where-unicode-shit-might-bork' border in your project that allows you to not only detect unicode errors earlier, as you stated, but also keep tabs on this 'border'.... eventually you don't even have unicodeerrors in your codebase anymore, because in 3.x this pattern emerges in your head and imho it's a really good thing, it is making your think properly how your code interacts with other entities.
Pragmatically I'm not a libertarian, though I believe anarchism to be the most moral political philosophy. In practice I lean far left of most people.

What I wanted to stop was this demonization of "the free market" and its wholesale "what would libertarians say nonsense" because it ignorantly ignores the nuances of the political philosophy and unfairly demonizes an economic system that is responsible for a lot of good things.

The issue with patents, well, that's an example of the government failing. Not the market.
That's easy to say, but Python3 isn't good enough:

* Python3 is slower than Python2

* Twisted still doesn't work in Python3

* Division changed.

And so on. I'm not improving Python3 since I don't get any return on it, so I'll simply use a different language for new projects.

However you might want to reconsider: Other people parsed it the same way -- and one person even thought it was a good thing that they got to charge again.
> Many of the things listed in these articles, such as making GCM optional, or supporting distribution outside of Play, are not "completely out of bounds." We've expressly indicated support for them and enumerated the work required, but nobody has committed to doing the work.

> I don't expect anyone to do the work, but I do think it's strange when someone from the FOSS community complains that we haven't done it for them.

The linked article notes that you have not been so supportive of such developments in the past:

> The community reacted to this by developing a version that does not rely on GCM, however, OWS refused to merge the changes into the Signal code. When the project was forked, they prevented the newly established LibreSignal project [5] from connecting to Signal’s servers and prohibited the use of the term “Signal” in their name.

Reading through the comments that are linked it looks like you mostly had technical concerns about the work. Is that correct?

Clearly the perception of your actions is different than you intend. In your comment here you make it sound like no one had even attempted to do resolve these issues. But that's not what the author of the article believes, and given the public record I'm inclined to agree.

> I'd definitely reconsider if people have a plan for avoiding the problems that we encountered the first time, beyond "federation is good." In the mean time I'm happy to help anyone deploying Signal in their own federated environment.

Your key point is that you're content if people do federation in their own, outside of your domain. That's fair. But what I'm saying is the dream of a federated secure messaging system that's also popular is something which you have the power to chase if you commit to it by making it a core feature of Signal.

Ask HN: How do you find new freelance work?
I have had some success with Twitter in the past, looking for eg: 'freelance javascript <cityName>' but it's very hard to filter out all of the bot postings and sites like freelancer.com. Any tips on using Twitter effectively to find new work?

What other ways do you go about finding new jobs once your current work dries up?

My main skills are Javascript / HTML5 / Interactive web apps and PHP / Laravel.
You are voicing a long-standing fallacy. One builds the coördination on top of the base service management. The runit and perp way is to include the dependencies as calls to "sv check"/"perpok" in the run programs. s6-rc gives one "bundles". nosh has a mechanism of targets and "wants"/"conflicts" relationships.
It's physical, it's mental, it'psychologial, it's emotional - it's everything. The social aspect is a double edge sword; dealing with customers, employees, 3rd parties is a bitch sometimes.

Most just don't have the luxury of critically analyzing things these days at their work -- the goal is to produce as fast and as much as possible. I find reading the comment sections first helps me gauge what exactly is important in the article and what the takeaways are -- from both angles. Then I can go back to work.
I don't have a problem with Python 3's unicode support, and I don't really understand why people do. I think it works fine, you just want to think of b'' as byte arrays instead of strings. If you're ever carrying a bytes around and passing it into string handling functions, you're Doing It Wrong. Honestly, I can't find anything wrong with Python 3's Unicode support. It's great.
Thanks! Datalog library for clojure is something I should definitely look up.

Will think hard about the suggestion of using some functional language instead also ... you for sure got me thinking! :)

Feel free to share any pointers regarding this!

In the meanwhile, sharing my thoughts so far: What I have so far thought was pretty "unique" about datalog is that it support "named queries", which can be used as a kind of "duck typing" classification, to build up a model of your domain of interest that is always computed on-demand, leaving the raw data unchanged in it's default ("normal"?) form.

Because of the "named queries", you can combine lower-level queries in higher-level ones, to create a hierarchy of "dynamically generated concepts", which I haven't seen any other technology be able to do.

(While named queries are conceptually similar to views in SQL, they are so much more natural to work with.)

I know this by experience from my dabblings in prolog [1], but haven't found any large-scale prolog data system supporting distributed computing (I understood it has some features making it unpractical for distributed computing and more, in a way that datalog doesn't).

Hardly ever had such problems on machines I was able to manage myself.

I'm not sure what you're referring to by "forced updating"; the W10 upgrade or just regular updates?
I'd say it's around 50Mb.

Part of the problem they're trying to solve is the outsized role the electronics division is playing in the conglomerate. The entire company is worth something like half a trillion dollars (about twice Apple), but something like half of that is the electronics component alone (my numbers might be a bit off, but the order of magnitude should be about right).

Because of the interlocking structure of Korean conglomerates, ill performing companies in the conglomerate can stay propped up by the others, creating a drag on the successful parts, while simultaneously making it harder to figure out which parts are doing well and which are not.

There's other issues to, like family ownership being deeply tied into the conglomerate (which should be publicly traded). This has created a "royal" class of citizens who have a very outsized influence in society even if all they've done was to be born and have their parents put them in charge of a small holding company to learn the ropes. The influence peddling scandal in Korea is also revealing how deeply intertwined and corrupt the relationship between the government, these families and these companies are, and the net result is that citizen investors (stock holders) aren't getting the maximum benefit they could from a more transparent and accountable corporate structure.

Samsung in particular has a huge role in the Korean economy, accounting for something like 10% of the national GDP.

I'm happy to have the choice (I actually like the Thinkpad hardware better, but OSX is better suited to my workflow as a developer compared to Windows), but Apple certainly isn't making it easy.

Indeed they do, the national ACLU proper is a 501(c)(4) like the NRA, and both have 501(c)(3) charities for stuff that fits with and is legal to do under those constraints. E.g. the NRAs' does pro-bono legal work and the other "raises and donates money to outdoors groups and others such as ROTC programs, 4-H and Boy Scout groups" and in general funds education (and has been a contributor to the remarkable improvement in gun safety statistics).

Heh, and on the ACLU Wikipedia page, "In 2006, the ACLU of Washington State joined with a pro-gun rights organization, the Second Amendment Foundation, and prevailed in a lawsuit against the North Central Regional Library District (NCRL) in Washington for its policy of refusing to disable restrictions upon an adult patron's request."

I'm sure this happened because a) the Second Amendment Foundation's 2 activities are running an important annual conference and b) lawsuits, and they're in Washington state.

And in either case, government censorship of their core political speech, which in theory reflects that of their members (not always entirely true for the NRA), is intolerable and why Citizens United was absolutely necessary.

I don't work in SV so maybe my comment doesn't matter but most of these things seem pretty trivial....

> - Equity vesting schedule is 5%, 15%, 40%, 40% over 4 years

I haven no equity in my company or opportunity to get any.

> - Relocation package is prorated for TWO years. If you leave after staying for a full year, you still need to return 50% of it.

I don't think my company offers any relocation packages (I could be wrong on that) but even so this policy doesn't strike me as completely crazy.

> - 401K matching only vests after working for 3 years. If you leave within 3 years, no matching for you whatsoever.

My vesting schedule only vests after 6 years (with 20 percent vesting every year after the first). It's not great but on average it's not the worst AFAICT.

> - No tuition reimbursement. Want to get a part-time masters in CS? Pay it yourself

> - No catered food. No free soda. No free snacks. If you are hungry, you can eat at one of the shltty cafes.

Both of these... We have nothing like it at all, I'd kill for a "shitty cafe". We have coffee and that's about it. This comment comes of as extremely spoiled to me.

> - Obnoxious oncall routines. You are woken up 3:30am waiting for the event to be over. Why not automate things? Because replacing people is cheaper than building great software!

My job doesn't include being on call but I work with people who are, I don't fully understand what this bit is talking about. Are you woken up just to be told your "shift" is starting or is this just referencing being woken up because there is a problem? Cause that's kind of the definition of being on call....

Maybe I'm just naive and stupid to think my job is good (every job could be better of course) but from where I'm sitting 90% of your comment comes off as entitled and spoiled and it colors the rest of it.
Thank you for sharing! Iceland is definitely on my list of places to visit.
I currently do that for in-store displays. Its easy to setup because you can do a nice GUI with a powerful enough board and habe access through SSH if required. I sell it to small businesses as a turn key solution (just add a tv) for less than four hundred dollars. Most have enjoyed good success with it because it allows automatic upsells. Ive yet to use one as a status board but I might give it a try.
Well, thinking about it, I guess one could achieve aspects of this by using lazy iterators in a functional programming language too, but it still seems to lack the declarative nature that you get with the unification / pattern matching of datalog/prolog ... I might be wrong though.
Maybe some are biased here but i think non-devs are humans too.

Also, that's an interesting view, and made me contemplate something - I wonder if it a view worth prescribing to.

Consider that it's a good idea to use your authentic voice only if that voice sounds virtuous/good - I mean it's better for them not to say anything, or deceive, rather then say that "We got a great marketing guy who knows how to manipulate social media and gets us lots of press by intentionally writing tweets that'll go viral but that don't really have anything to do with us".

If that is the case, then there are two insights:

1 - it's rather the other way around - make sure the authentic you is something that people would like to hear rather then "use your authentic voice".

I.E. if you don't have anything to hide, you don't need to deceive anyone.(or try and portray yourself in a different light)

2- if as a consumer of marketing you subscribe to the philosophy that marketing can be authentic, then you'll eventually be convinced of something that is pure fiction since not all marketers will be authentic. As such the best course of action for a consumer is to assume that all marketing pieces are unauthentic.

If that is the case, is it even worth it to use an authentic voice? like in the case above, even if you are being authentic, there are many people who will consider you an hypocrite by "trying to sound authentic", which could be worse for sales/brand-awareness then being obviously unauthentic.

Perhaps even if your authentic void is just right you should consider appearing unauthentic, so that people will not perceive you as being artificially authentic.

Perhaps the best marketing is sarcasm about your self/company/product?

What do you mean by "look the same"? If it's really just graphics, well yeah, the engine is more or less the same, but they are quite different games.

As someone who prefers FNV:

FNV is a lot grittier and fits better to earlier Fallouts that way. It leaves the player more choices (more companions, more decisions in quests that influence the story, just more stuff to do) and IMHO tells the grander story. Great DLC stories. Hardcore mode helps against the RPG-typical issue that the player character turns into a demi-god the environment doesn't react properly to.

It has a few more potentially game-breaking bugs, which is annoying, and you can tell that they planned for more content that they weren't given the time to finish, most other critiques IMHO apply to both games (graphics aren't great by modern standards, at some point you look to hard at the world and immersion just breaks, enemy AI and other mechanics don't help in that regard)

That said, you can get them for 10 bucks each with DLCs, so if you have the time it's worth trying both.
