Nothing about Andromeda comes from google at this point.

I am inclined to believe that there is indeed a big android related project going on at google. Android Police reported this first and they usually don't make that many articles without a reliable source.

However there can be a huge difference between what this project ends up being and what Android polices writers understood it was.

It was never survival of the fittest- it is survival of the most adapted to a situation. If the situation rewards kindness- survival of the kindest- if the situation rewards being a heartless, survival of the heartless. If the situation is constantly fluctuating, survival of the system swinging between the both, by adapting to environmental clues.

The Color Blue
In the Top 10 there are only two languages which are not self-hosted. Swift with C++ and PHP with C.

I know the reasoning for Swift being that it's just not practical at this point reimplementing everything in Swift, but looking at the others it seems to be the norm to self-host your language at some point at least. Is there a reason for this? Is it just a rite of passage or do the maintainers obviously enjoy using the language itself as well?

Some languages chose to go this route right from the start (see Crystal for example), others might (hopefully) pick this up later (I'd love for Swift to be). Does anyone have any insight on this?

I switched from Mac OS X to Ubuntu Gnome after release of latest Apple's MacBook "shame" Pro. It took few weeks to find new dev tools, but today I can't complain. Linux is much more mature nowadays than it was ~10 years, ago when I switched to Mac. I'm working more with terminal now and not using Git GUI anymore, but as long as you are not XCode coder, everything is similar, for half of the price.

>Commits to Rust's master branch must be done through pull requests on Github. All PRs must be approved and reviewed before being merged, and the approver cannot be the same person who submitted the PR.

Any company that puts half an effort into open washing will follow these same procedures, so they aren't safe indicators that the real decisions aren't made behind closed doors ahead of time.

Paying close attention to things like the rfc process and approval process for commit rights and whatnot usually tell the real story.

This fault wasn't due to the introduction of supercooled LOX, though. They've been doing that for a while. The change here was to the tanking schedule so that it could better withstand a last-minute hold. As it stands, they're back to any hold during tanking leading to a launch scrub.

Once the redesigned tanks come in, it's likely that they'll go right back, because little holds aren't uncommon.

Finland (like much of Europe) has universal healthcare and a national health insurance plan; this is not an issue. There already is an 'X' that people can (adequately) survive on when on welfare. If basic income is something that a state wants to research in earnest, these kind of experiments provide valuable data and can be seen as a tentative first step towards a national basic income plan.

It is also worth pointing out that in this case the result of a query wasn't returned, an error that would probably be noticed in most cases and bears no security implications (at least none I can see). That alone makes it far better than a 10y old security relevant bug.

The fact that it was only reported now probably shows that it rarely occurs in real world applications.
No offense, but this list is stupid in its current ordering if the order is meant to imply anything. I heavily use rust, python, and go and have not starred any of the repos because I have faith the current contributors and don't need to helicopter over current issues/PRs.

Stars are for following a project because you need to pay attention to breaking changes, bugs, and major feature releases. If you need to do that for a programming language, the language is immature, garbage, or both IMO.

Also, stars!=contributors, so an entire team of 1000 devs (!) could use github to fully develop a language and look worse off than many of these other examples that hardly use github at all.
Pretty much the same story but I left the company rather than being let go. I did work crazy hours every day. Had to give back half of my equity when I left but no regrets.

FWIW, in Finland the income tax threshold is € 12700 (i.e. you don't pay income tax for earned income lower than that) which is almost exactly the same as in Australia.

The taxation is quite progressive, so low earners pay less tax than in most European countries, and high earners pay more than almost anywhere else in OECD (depending a little on family status etc).

The main problem for Finland's tax collection is too few high earners to get enough tax revenue (not entirely unsurprisingly, because the other policy goal is a flat income distribution.)

I don't think the basic income experiment changes anything, though. It's impossible to move to BI because some people would lose money so any change would be extremely unpopular. And a change where "everybody wins" would be prohibitively expensive.

Correct, if you book a Main Cabin (coach) ticket on AA seat selection is free. The only exceptions are seats in "Main Cabin Extra" which almost always have 10%+ more legroom. These are usually the first row in coach, plus the exit rows.

That said, some MCE seats (and some MC seats) can only be selected pre-checkin by AA flyers with status. AA status holders also do not pay extra for MCE seats, whether they are status reserved or not.
Tangential question: Maps automatically switches to Lite mode under certain browser conditions. It does so on my home Firefox machine (Dev. Edition 52.0a2, Linux, Intel HD Graphics 520), and:

- When I deactivate all my addons it still does.

- When I try a new profile it no longer does.

-> If not an addon, to my knowledge of Firefox, the cause has to be a changed Firefox preference (right?). But if right, I changed so many of them, I have no idea which one causes the behavior. Before I binary-search that, any clue what the culprit pref might be?

The support page doesn't answer this question; its only relevant snip is that "Maps will take you to Lite mode and your maps won't have 3D images if you have the following cards: [...] Intel GMA 3600", which I have (GMA3600 == HD520), but it must be outdated documentation, as Maps stays non-Lite with a fresh profile.

Ask HN: When hiring a developer, is lack of basic SSH skills a red flag?
Short version: Would the HN community share my view that a lack of even basic SSH skills is a strong negative indicator of a developer's overall skillset?

Long version:

I have a friend with a business background (MBA), who is quite successful in the financial industry. He has an idea for an app he would like to develop. Since he has no technical expertise to speak of, he's looking to partner with another acquaintance of his to be CTO.

Said CTO has proposed a number of people for the initial development of the app and the backend. Being inexperienced, my friend asked me for my input on the suggestions, as I used to be a developer myself.

While their background stories seem somewhat plausible (eg: X years Java experience, backed up by references), the one thing that alarmed me was that none of them managed to connect to the development server using SSH, because apparently they had never used SSH before (and in one case, it was obvious from conversation that the developer hadn't even heard of it before).

This is inconceivable to me. Back when I got my CS degree in 2008, having at least basic SSH knowledge was a prerequirement for at least a half-dozen courses. As a developer later on, I've had to use it again and again, for one thing or the other, like connecting to a cloud-hosted VM.

My question is: Am I right in seeing this as a red flag? Should I advise my friend to reject all these candidates (and possibly the CTO who suggested them, and IMHO should know better)? Or are my expectations just faulty generalizations based on my own personal experience? eg: developer X can be a talented Java developer and yet still be unfamiliar with SSH, developer Y can be a great iOS developer, etc.

>With Software-as-a-Service you're back in the realm of choosing between monopoly pricing and chance of software disappearing.

For some kinds of data, this is okay. Modern SaaS providers seem to be cognizant of the fact that we still want control of our data and so accommodate that with an API.

The example given hits home for me. There is still one piece of business-critical legacy software that I use that currently has no viable exit path. If the developer ceased to exist, I would be screwed. I know they won't give the rights to the source. I don't think I want to see it.

So I've been spending many hours over the past 1.5 years learning how to build the backup parachute.

No you're not. Personally I find it really annoying. I hope this is a fad, along with the photos showing through "holes" as you scroll down a page.

At least this is a landingpage and not a long form article, but even as a landing page I feel it is distracting.

Why can't people just make really good design like you'd have in print, on a relatively static page. I guess it's the medium that calls for it. Hey, we have Javascript and CSS3 oh my! Let's do something cool!

edit: it's one of those things that looks cool, and is ok in moderation. But when it's used too much it's just distracting. It calls my attention, but not for the right reasons. It stops me from being in my own flow and reading the page the way I want to read it.
Honestly, if Linux's font rendering looked as good as OS X, I would have already switched. I know it might sound arbitrary, but aesthetics matter to me, and if I'm going to stare at it for 12 hours a day it should look nice. :)
Virtual Machines. If you use VM's, 16gb is likely going to be a problem. I, quite easily, hit it all the time. It has nothing to do with being 'professional enough'. The nature of a dev's daily work can vary greatly with what kind of dev they are doing.

If there is one thing Google services seem to have in common, it is that they're burdened with sluggish javascript. Whether it is Google Maps, Google Groups, Google Image browser (in Image search), all of them like to spike the CPU at 100% for a while doing their thing, leaving the user staring at a frozen tab or window. Having been around a bit I remember where Google Groups came from, it used to be called Deja News. Back in the day I made a 2-pane browser for reading news groups, functionally comparable to what Google Groups does nowadays with one big difference: it loaded instantaneously and was fast. Mind, this was in the time where we counted ourselves lucky with our 4 Mbit fixed line and our 400 MHz Pentium II developer machines, using Netscape 4.x on a Linux 2.x kernel with Afterstep or FvWM (or olvwm for Sun-OS aficionados).

While these 'modern' services might be more flexible with their largely client-generated UI, I feel that this comes at too high a price. This problem is not just limited to Google services, other sites and services are similarly hampered. Thing is, I'd have expected better performance from Google.

Also, I've had a pretty good experience with premium products in German supermarkets. I only rarely buy from a premium store (sometimes for cheese, almost never for meat), but when I do, their performance is pretty comparable to supermarket premium lines.
