Actually Windows has always enjoyed better C++ related tooling than any UNIX other than Mac OS X.

I'm having trouble thinking of a more poorly organized recall in consumer electronics:

- Samsung initially refused to work with US regulators (CPSC) to coordinate a recall.

- They didn't communicate to customers the danger of the situation until after people got burned and there was widespread media coverage.

- They didn't work with carriers to allow returns in stores. People who bought their Note 7's through their carriers weren't clear on how they could return the phone. In some cases, the store employees even told customers that they couldn't swap the device.

- For those who managed to swap their phones, the replacement had the same issue. They had a defective battery because they rushed Note 7 develpment -- you'd think they would have learned not to rush the recall...
Another slight change got me 100x. Now yes, I'd need assembly or an equivalent (but more efficient) algorithm.
I gave up populating requirements in setup.py. I just use multiple requirements.txt. This article has been debated for years already and there is absolutely no right / wrong.
Setup:

1. Define the dimensions for the view port (640 x 480, for example). This means, there are 640 times 480 (= 307,200) pixel locations in the viewport

2. Procure 640 times 480 (= 307,200) images of people pointing to each of the pixel locations

3. Save each image with the corresponding X,Y pixel location it points to in, say, a database

Run:

1. Get the (x,y) location of the mouse pointer on the view port

2. Query the database with the (x,y) co-ordinates and retrieve the corresponding image

3. Display image
I found the amount of 'all-cash' offers in sf totally disturbing. SF homes are from 1-3million in a decent area. That amount of money can't be saved by working. That is money passed down or achieved by some nutty liquidity event - but those are quite rare. Where is this money coming from? This money is from Trusts [1] with hidden directors and foreigners (from politically unstable areas) using land as a great place to secure their money. If you own a deed that is registered with sf county - good luck to china, venezula, or russian officials trying to take it. Transferring titles is a circus - even if you live here. Thus your cash is secure, and you can continue your shady dealings in those countries not to worry about the current political winds.

Example of trusts:

We've enjoyed great global PR, that's for sure. A good bunch of it undeserved.

There was a huge uproar about us legalizing pot. While you can now grow your own cannabis, the most important part: legal sale, is yet to be finalized despite plans starting 5 years ago without power changing hands.

There was another huge PR boost with the story about "Uruguay's poor president José Mujica". His administration ended as one of the worst ever experienced in the country's republican (as in Republic, not the US party) history. Corruption hit new peaks with public enterprise bleeding money into party officials' pockets left and right, something we're still paying via "tarifazos" (annual increases in costs of public infrastructure such as electricity, fuel and telecommunications despite their production costs going down).

Reality is that moving here can be suicide for many, as we're one of the most expensive countries to live in of Latin America (and the world) when you account for salaries. We have a growing culture of crime with a government that's disinterested in fixing it, and often tries to downplay it. Import tariffs are insane (usually 150%+ over retail price), and while citizens can make a few international orders under 200 USD without being taxed (used to be 5, then 4, now they just changed it to 3), it helps little and I expect they will scrap them altogether next year.

And oh my god the bureaucracy. It's the only thing more central to the Uruguayan identity than mate and football. The past couple of leftist administrations and this current one has been all about e-government, yet most interactions with the government will be in a crowded office after waiting an hour waiting for your number to come up on the screen. The little web infrastructure we have is inconsistent across public enterprises, is ridiculously insecure (national ISP, Antel, has a max password length of 8 alphanumeric characters; all sites are made in hacked together PHP and/or ASP.NET by FullStackOverflow programmers and one determined black hat could probably stop the country for a while in a boring weekend) and despite the government's interest in tracking all financial transactions, they're in no rush to implement online payment.

My SO starts studying engineering this year, and with me being a software developer (meaning remote is an option and there's offerings everywhere), our hope is that either a miracle happens or we fuck right off after she gets her diploma. We have a deeply ingrained cultural and political problem that will not allow the country to get out of this hole. But then again, Donald Trump is the leader of the free world; it's fair to expect the unexpectable when it comes to political change.

I expect from Netflix no less. As soon the growth phase is over. They will turn to ads.

There aren't any ads on Netflix to begin with so I don't think that comment really nails anything. The shows are just good.

I was a Sr. Director at Tapjoy, a mobile ad-tech company based out of San Francisco. I had been a part of a sister company based in Boston, Viximo, that was acquired by Tapjoy in 2012. We became their Boston engineering office, and I worked with other great engineers on incredible product and infrastructure projects during my tenure there. I moved from Boston a year ago today to Santa Monica, so that my wife could pursue a job in the entertainment industry. I remained at Tapjoy till late November, and I've enjoyed some planned R&R in that time since.

It's my first time off, where I wasn't employed and had minimal obligations, since I was 15. I'm an advisor to vid.me, an awesome company based in LA that is hiring front-end and backend PHP engineers, which has helped to keep me busy and occupied.

Sounds like you have a personal bias against libertarianism. This is nothing new -- I deal with contrarians all the time, who are usually dead set on dismissing alternative views instead of building their own. Yes, nothing in the world is "pure" and "perfect," but I'm curious what criteria you use to evaluate policy, or if it's just a doozy and you agree with whatever you read in the New York Times.

Not trying to insult you, but please, for your sake and everyone else's: don't be a contrarian. This is serious life advice. Multiple companies I've worked for have had rules like "don't complain unless you provide a better solution," and they're right. You don't need to blindly pat everyone on the back, but arguing against something without proposing or referencing something better is one of my pet peeves.
It doesn't help that the architecture that they build these phones on isn't largely standardised as it is on desktop PCs.

Until that is resolved, I don't see the hardware support issue being resolved.
ok seems everyone is posting their USA TSA/immigration horror stories - here are my 2 - luckily didnt happen to me.

1. A female friend of mine was living in NYC. She had patents for some tech that she invented and was living in the US while trying to sell the patents or potentially build a business with them. Went to Toronto to see a friend, on return the immigration agent asked her what she did in the US - she explained she worked in tech and the immigration official said she didnt look like an IT person and cancelled her visa. She tried to get him to look up her patents but he refused. She had to leave the country and go reapply for her visa or sort it out back in Australia.

2. Margaret Jackson - former chairman of QANTAS was searched by TSA and they found airplane schematics, when asked why she had the schematics she said she was the chairman of QANTAS, the TSA responded, but you're a woman!

The Paris attackers were French. So were the Nice ones. They were third generation immigrants. Are you suggesting to vet all of these? If yes, you've got some work ahead of you, considering your country is one of immigration.
A colleague of mine bought a macbook pro for nearly $3k. When he found out about the touchbar, he cancelled the order and looked for other options. I pointed him at a decent Thinkpad X1 Carbon for about $2000, at which point he said "no, that's so expensive!"

When pushed on the point that he just willingly spent more than that on the apple laptop, he said "yeah, but when you use one, people know you're using a quality laptop". Yes, to this man at least, status was worth almost a grand.
I live in a part of the world where the opposite is true. The Netflix catalogue of originals is there but apart from that its pretty weak. Not value for money at $8/mo. On the other hand there is a legit service that gives me the sports I'm interested in (minus basketball), all HBO shows and recent movies at $3/mo. I'm canceling my subscription to Netflix for now because I find I don't actually spend any time watching it.
I strongly agree but this can work now and is a big improvement over what we currently have. So while I would literally pay to see somebody work on a better package manager (which can generate exe, deb and use a conf file indead of .py), this is a good filler.
every other web page you see (as a foreigner) from China seems to have a VPN ad on it, and of course you can roll your own. Strangely if you roam on your phone (or mine at least) there's no need you get unfiltered data .... and most importantly Google rather than (ugh) bing
But there are plenty that aren't, which can't be said for electron. I'll avoid the bloated ones regardless of the tech.
Sole proprietor/family business/lemonade stand: yes, refuse whoever you want, even if you blatantly say "we don't serve gays."

Corporations/LLC's: these entities have obtained special government privileges (being detached from any personal liability/ ability to seize an owner's assets), and so it seems reasonable that they can be considered to 'meet some public standards' in exchange for these privileges. Anti-discrimination falls into that category in my opinion.
Curious if you are in NYU Shanghai? I think that's the only campus in China where you get unfiltered Internet.

Ask HN: Can my users prove they own a GitHub/LinkedIn account, would this work?
I want my users to prove their identity, or at least go some way towards establishing trust by saying "see I can be trusted, look, these is my LinkedIn account and this is my GitHub account".

I could possibnly do this my requiring them to sign in via Oauth to those sites, but maybe it would be easier to give the user a random string and get them to put it somewhere like on a public github page, thereby proviong that they own the account.

I'm not sure, maybe there is somewhere on LinkedIn that a string could be placed that proves the user owns the account.

What do you think of that idea?
I think you mean Netflix is learning from HBO.

Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Sex and the City, Entourage, etc., all well before Netflix did originals.
Better is to get a WDS bridge (wireless repeater). A high gain antenna (higher than in article) won't work well in the "long house" scenario because two clients may not be able to hear each other and may thus collide. (RTS/CTS is supposed to fix this but it relies on clients choosing to use it.) Unfortunately with WDS, the bridge must be the same brand as the AP (which itself must support WDS), so you might be stuck purchasing two new pieces of hardware.

But if the clients are all near each other, you have some money to spend (~$100), and don't mind being stuck with one band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz), I'd recommend one of these:

https://routerboard.com/RBSXTG-2HnD

https://routerboard.com/RBSXTG-5HPnD-SAr2

https://routerboard.com/RBSXTG-5HPacD-SA

They're really meant for outdoor installations but they work well for indoors with a cluster of clients far from the AP.
Sounds like he means 1 Mbps throughput, not 1 Mb transferred.

1 megabit of leased throughput, 24/7 over a month, adds up to 324 GB of data transferred.
> Why would they want to do that?

Why wouldn't they want to do that? When they were pushing EME garbage into HTML standard, their main excuse was that it's not because they want DRM, but because without it, major film studios won't release anything through them. That was before they started making their own stuff. And now that they do, where is it DRM-free?

> You're not buying their content.

What stops them from selling it? It's theirs, they can do whatever they want.
Code that works, and has for 40 years.

You'll never write something that lasts that long.
Great to see this.. I contemplated doing a similar project last year but never got around to it. Looking forward to trying Sunrise out.

BLOG 7 Tips to Get More Sales at Your Startup
Spot on. The concept of advertising is completely outdated. If you look at how advertising began in the first place, it began as a way for for people to discover new products. Back in the day, that was not bad. Not today. Today there is absolutely no need to hammer you with information. There are easy and affordable means to get whatever information you want. So yeah, advertising is another 'inherited money making crap' that we are just living with.

I really hope Netflix disrupts this in some way and not become another engine for bombarding users with ads.

That's an interesting question. There is one thing that is unique to the Edge Magazine app on iOS, though. Zip archives of the magazine do not contain just pdf files, but also bunch of high resolution game screenshots. Those screenshots can be seen in the app by clicking the gallery button in a several places. The gallery button link is in the form media://image.jpg, which probably means that the application registered custom protocol handler and handles it by displaying image on top of the magazine itself. That's the way to recognize iOS version, but I'm not sure if Google Play Newsstand has the same feature.

That argument has been made by repressive regimes to justify all sorts of witch hunts: "Our records say you were friends with John; you should have known he would be branded a subversive traitor. Why didn't you turn him in first?"

Yes, when I graduated in the 90's, we had Pascal, C++, C, Prolog, Caml Light, Java, PL/SQL, Assembly (x86 and MIPS), Tarski's World language, Lisp, Algol, PL/I.

I don't know how the coordinates were defined for the 900 images. They might have just copy-pasted pixel readings from some image program like ImageJ for half an hour. At first I thought they used html area tags to define bounding coordinates for a number of circles or rects around every image coordinate, but in functions.js there's VoronoiGrid.js. I had never heard of that - it separates all of the coordinate points so that every image they used gets displayed (every image gets its own "puzzle piece" of pixels it will be retrieved for: no two images are in the same bounded area).
I've read a couple of articles, and as I understand it a missile veered off course. During a test. Which is kind of the point of a test.

This is the latest from the BBC over it: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-38714047

Specifically this part describing how May dodged the question multiple times. The 'vote' being the vote by Parliament on whether to renew funding for the Trident system:

Questioned by the BBC's Andrew Marr on Sunday, Prime Minister Theresa May refused four times to say if she had known about the test firing ahead of the vote.

Mrs May said: "I have absolute faith in our Trident missiles. When I made that speech in the House of Commons, what we were talking about was whether or not we should renew our Trident."
You're absolutely right about that, they spun the wars pretty hard and the other media outlets criticized them... until BO took office.
