This is essentially what React Native has done for UI <~> Logic communication, allowing the latter (think iOS/Androind/Apple tv os/macOS etc.) to be replaced by any compute platform - even Compute Card in theory I think.

You're applying the same mental model to hardware which can be seen in the similarity of tools that can be enabled on top of such abstraction. Way to go!

The flexibility that emerges from decoupling our software and hardware solutions is a [recent] trend that will only gain on traction as more people become aware of it's implications to how we create solutions to technological problems.

How can we evangelize this better? From my experience it's complicated to communicate this idea well.

not sure if true, may be recency bias or the fact that I'm still young and inexperienced in many ways and lack historical background knowledge in tech
It was basically a one-man project by Joris van der Hoeven and nobody has come to pick up the torch from him.
Kind of a weird argument. Has malware prevalence really fallen so much? It feels like someone's going to start selling AV software for browsers soon.

Not to take away from Petrov's accomplishment, but his predecessor's sole call against firing nuclear torpedos during the Cuban Missile Crisis is something I am thankful for every day. The man is Vasili Arkhipov[0].

It's not that I don't like async (I think it's a defensible choice for JavaScript), but that in my experience backend logic for e.g. e-commerce apps doesn't benefit from using it. Projects which expose services to web frontends are often implemented in an architecture where only one-shot, aggregated service calls (and often times REST-y services) are exposed to Node.js, with the actual business processing and granular service calls being implemented in eg. Java web services in a synchronous programming style. I actually like that architecture because it gives front end devs leaway to define their browser-facing head server backend, rather than enshrine a dogmatic frontend/backend architecture upfront.

It's true that other languages add async models (or emphasize those that they already have), but eg. in the case of Java you're sitting on 20 years of synchronous library and custom code, and it's not clear moving to async is worth it at this pont.

I would go into finance, maybe as a CFA or some sort of investment/financial analyst. If I could go back in time and restructure my career aspirations as a teenager, I would pursue a career as a medical doctor (possibly specializing in cardiology or clinical pathology).

I don't know if this is normal, but I feel burnt out after working 6 years in the tech industry. So much so, that in my spare time I occupy myself with hobbies completely unrelated to software engineering. I enjoy reading books about finance and medicine, and have also grown an appreciation for cinema/film-making.

My side projects have definitely suffered as a result, because often times I find myself preferring to read The Economist instead.
> Maybe on your top-of-the-line computer. On my two-year-old Macbook Air, browsing the web is pure frustration, because everything is slow.

I recently replaced my 15" MBP 2010 with a 15" MBP 2015, but that wasn't because of the speed of applications.

Try to use some browser addons to make the web work quicker, like uBlock.

> Don't even get me started on how inferior Slack is compared to a local IRC client.

Slack is just one example. Personally, I'm not a proponent of a proprietary software client based on open standards (stuff like Electron, JS, etc). IRC is just a protocol, with many clients available.
I wonder how the organization puts limits to the AWS usage. For example, do you need approvals for increasing the AWS usage? Is there a limit for those approvals that require a new contract with Amazon?
Charter Pilot. Been working on that transition for 3 years now, getting my CFI soon ;)

Love development, but I'd much rather do it on the side than 40 hrs/week.
Yes, but wouldn't you feel like Tony Stark in the first Iron Man when you see video footage of terrorists brandishing weapons with your logo on them?
The 90 day password thing is pretty universal in my experience, but to be fair NIST has only very recently changed their recommendation on this so you can understand business' reticence to ease off on it.

As for the multiple internal sites and servers thing...well, from a security point of view I totally agree with the requirement for separate passwords but it sounds like you're in need of a proper identity management solution - which isn't really fair to blame security for - it's not usually the security function who are going to implement and own this sort of thing.
Well, we can measure efficacy here by seeing how far average speeds differ from the target speed over time. If they match closely, then I think it's reasonable to say it is "good enough".

"There are some people who manage to remove the catalytic converter and still pass inspection by simulating the signals from the secondary o2 sensor"

Not if the inspection station ignores the ODBII/III tests and does a direct tailpipe test. They'll get caught pretty quickly. Some stations can do that, too. They think ODB is lying, they'll sniff your exhaust.
Not all development is frameworks and webdev and many "tech" books aren't necessarily just programming. I'd consider half of my math books to be "tech", as that is how they end up being applied.
Thank you for this. I hadn't thought to look but many of these look promising.

I'm pretty sure this is a "feature" not a "bug" due to regulation. I'm not saying it's bad or good (I understand why).
It's not clear that there are any good alternative uses for the FM spectrum.

The UK plan is to move the national stations to DAB and use the old FM bandwidth for community and local radio.

My personal expectation is that the FM spectrum will be taken over by pirate stations.
You should automate the discovery of startup ideas by posting a thread here every few days.
Can you tell what the reason behind that policy is? Whenever I hear something like this I like to challenge it by the following:

Working remotely should be the default, not the outlier.

If your organisation requires personal presence something in your organisation is broken (management processes, the way people interact, obsolete tools etc.). Fix that instead of patching what's broken by mandating personal presence.

Chances are not only will your employees be happier but you'll also uncover potential for optimisation.
It was an very unfortunate decision for Node devs to deep six multithreaded web workers. A pull request implementing it was ready to go with an optional flag to enable it but they did not want to support it. So node will be forever more compute bound to a single thread blocking all I/O.
TorBrowser has Javascript disabled by default, doesn't that mean you have to first 'trick' targets into visiting the webpage, and then trick them into turning on js?
Bookmark sync should be provided by an add-on (so that it can sync cross-browser as well). There's Xmarks and given that Vivaldi has some compatibility with Chrome Addons, this should work (if it doesn't, improving addon compat should be top priority).

Shameless plug of a tool I built which might help you with this, especially if you're hiring developers.

It'll automatically research the applicants who apply to your open position and collect github profiles, repos, and do it's best to rate them appropriately.

Fair enough regarding websites, but I was talking about rich feature clients for usage other than the WWW ie. other protocols than HTTP(S).

If you prefer, you're free to use more lightweight applications.

I could mention you're free to put JS off, but I know that isn't always feasible. I agree w/you that this sucks. Majorly.
I am aware of the variety of electronic music genres and artists. I still believe electronic music is the lowest tier. I consider top 40 to be better than most electronic music. I did go through an electronic music phase for a while, and I find that to really enjoy it, you must be high.

Pretty much what you should expect from going 3rd party.

3rd party companies are going to make more money the larger, and more complicated the project. If there's little chance of return work, then they also make more money the buggier the project.

I am one of those people who like Xamarin, especially now that it is open source. But needing a Mac for iOS is a pain. I understand it is hard to not work like that but it is annoying. That said, I do like Xamarin and currently work fast in it.
Try the Tiger Book instead (a.k.a. 'Modern compiler implementation in C', or there are Java or ML versions if those are more to your taste). It has a better balance: more to the point treatment of lexing and parsing, leaving more space for a more comprehensive treatment of optimization and code generation.
In this case it also happens to be the point at which the road is fully utilized.

The purpose of the express lane is that you don't want congestion. So you keep raising the price until enough people bug out that it's not congested while still maximizing the number of cars going through and paying you the toll.
> Speaking of Beowulf, has there ever been an evolution of the concept?

I don't know if you'd call it an "evolution of the concept", but there are people who've made "low cost" clusters of Raspberry Pi boards (anywhere from four, to several hundred), not so much for practical purposes, but more for learning how to set up, use, and maintain such a system, without needing the space or power requirements a real system would need.
That last interview is genius. That's exactly what employers should be doing. Ask for enough from the interviewee to confirm that they're competent, but also show respect for them by compensating them for their time.

It sounds like the startup world is such an echo chamber that those running startups have convinced themselves it's a privilege to work in it. In fact, the employee is taking a big risk given startup failure rates. At this point, so many BigCos have adopted enough of the startup culture in their development departments that I'm not really sure what makes working at a startup compelling, other than Cool Points and maybe (almost certainly worthless) stock options.
Really then, it suggests that Python 2 is succeeding, not Python 3.

There's steam methane reforming from natural gas; it converts methane to CO2 and H2, and you separate those. This is already a large scale commercial process (e.g. used for hardening fat in food or upgrading petroleum to fuel), giving tens of millions of tonnes per year, and recent plants even include CO2 capture and storage, making it a low carbon source.
This is not ONLY about speed. There are two variables here - speed and price. You've got to tell me the point at which you get the best speed at the best price.
Would like to be a back country forest ranger. Someone who does work out in the remote woods. Not one of the rangers that has to deep with the public. The problem like most of us have is that our position and tenure in IT has lead to salaries that make such a change (and reduction in pay) almost impossible. Add kids, etc. and it gets set permanently in the dream category.

I know the logical response to this statement is: Reduce your needs and the reduced pay won't be an issue. While true, I don't think I am that flexible sadly.

Whether they're doing it effectively isn't entirely relevant. That's the goal of the variable pricing system in place here though.

Bear in mind that Trump's attitude towards Russia is informed, in part, by a dichotomy manufactured for the campaign - that he (and the Republicans) represented peace and stability regarding Russia, whereas Hillary Clinton and the Democrats wanted to start World War 3 with them. The other positions (increasing oil production, investing in the military and nuclear weapons) are standard ideological positions for the Republican party.

The apparent contradiction of framing himself in opposition to an aggressive stance on Russia out of political necessity while running for the party which traditionally supports such a stance, either hasn't occurred to him, or else doesn't concern him.

You will find support for the most random and amazing things in JS. It is truly mindblowing.

I recently had a client request to run a process involving extracting data from an Excel file. Originally wrote it in python using openpyxl http://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/default/, then it turned out the client also needed XLSB support. openpyxl and xlrd don't support XLSB, but the only thing that did work was a JS library http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xlsx/ and node module
I've started to use PaaS (Platform as a service) because it's way more convenient and reduces the headache of getting a simple blog up and running. VPSes are often difficult to harden and many of the recipes online for spinning up servers are not tried and tested and often leave gaping security holes in the installation. At least with PaaS these holes are patched because they are widely deployed on many machines and have to be secure by design. Here's a few to get you started:

This move is only going to affect large and small Indian consultancy firms, who bring in tech people from India under H1-b visas with given hopes to file their Green Cards. They are usually deployed on 3-6 months projects across the US. These firms pay them minimum allowed wages by keeping lion share of the hourly consultancy rate.

Foreign graduates from US colleges are not going to be affected as they are interested only in working full time with US companies who are going to pay them market rate anyway if they can't find an American skillful enough to fill the job.

This move will also in return, loosen up the H1-B pipeline hence getting rid of the lottery system. I think it is a good move in a better direction.

These are my two cents as a beneficial of H1-B visa system, who went to US college.
But also a company that shares very little. Snapchat's positioning has always felt relatively scammy to me. Look forward to some amount of transparency around traditional metrics either as a result of this suit or through the IPO process.
Is this really something to be happy about?

Even ignoring technical considerations (the dizzying amount of code and cruft required to run a watch), it goes against one time-honored watch tradition: simple, elegant mechanics.
I'd probably try to start some kind of non-tech cashflow business. Beyond that, writing or photography. Hard to answer because in reality I'll just want to start another tech startup :)
It's very nice, particularly if you live in the Apple ecosystem where KeePass clients are complete crap.

I avoid the 1Password.com cloud hosting stuff because it slightly expands the threat model in exchange for web access to my passwords on public/stranger's computers, something I view as an anti-feature.
I'd make it event-driven. /usr/sbin/hire --ceo starts a setTimeout(function() {`/usr/sbin/fire --ceo`}, 'INTERVAL 60 DAY') (And that is a weird bit of pseudocode, indeed.)

If you're afraid you lose both your main key as well as your backup key at the same time before you were able to reinstall another backup key you can ensure you have more than 1 backup key, and/or (re)consider where you store your backup key(s).

Also, it depends on where you are using the YubiKey. If its an online service you may be able to identify yourself via alternative ways. If its your FDE, you're hosed. Or you have backups. Either way, the above still applies.

Since this is my own fantasy land, I'd be able to set my own curriculum.

1. Why do we work? (Jobs, Businesses, and the individual economy)
2. What is wealth, and how do I get it? (Saving, investment, real estate)
3. Is it supposed to be like this? (Capitalism, Government, modern political economy)
4. Systems Design (If you want to change the system, how should it work? How do we measure things that aren't money? Love, time, attention?)

I wish I'd had an education like this earlier in life.

What do the map hacks accomplish? Can you see full unit information across the map? I doubt this is the case, except for the game host. For clients, I'd be surprised/disappointed if this were true as it is not costly to filter the information from clients if FoW visibility has already been calculated.
Taco Bell has a popular reputation for making food that gives you digestion troubles. I never really got that. Is their food cheap? Sure. But it's good for what it is and I always liked it just fine. If anything their menu is too expansive. I don't go often, and usually to the drive-through, so when I do, I'm often overwhelmed by all the new offerings.

It's the same with Arby's. People like to bust on Arby's, but it's always been my favorite, along with Taco Bell.
Recreational vehicle repair. Sales are way up since the industry almost died after 2007/2008, and the manufacturers are producing crap quality in order to satisfy sales demand. It's not uncommon for someone to spend $400k on a new RV and have to take their new purchase back for a months worth of rework -- only to find out there's no service openings for 5 months.

What's stopping me is the up-front capital requirements to lease a building, hire technicians, and buy the tools & equipment needed (you can't just use an ordinary car lift on a 50,000 pound bus).
That doesn't even mention my "favorite" one, when Soviet submarine B-59 was intercepted by American ships during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The submarine had been out of contact for days and had no idea if a war had started. It carried a nuclear torpedo which required the authorization of three people to launch. Two of those people wanted to use it. The third, Vasili Arkhipov, was opposed, and managed to talk them down. If Arkhipov had been in a bad mood that day (maybe he missed his morning coffee or something) the world could have ended up looking very different.

(This was before MAD was fully in place, so in the worst case outcome the US still would have survived the resulting conflict largely intact. Europe and the USSR would have been pretty much obliterated, though.)

I do exactly that as a break from my other businesses of lighting and network installation. Mining is awesome stuff. You get outdoors, you see awesome views, you can go it solo or with friends, and if you use your brain a little bit, you can make some serious cash in a short period of time. There are tons of BLM lands with abandoned claims just waiting for someone to re-register the claim and open it back up, or lands adjacent to that claim which were never touched and possibly have tons of material the other claim couldn't get to/missed during survey.

And then you get to start your own D&D-style real-life dragon hoard and put it on display. Very few people are unimpressed by nature's splendors.
