NoviCap | Senior software engineer | Barcelona | ONSITE, VISA novicap.com https://gist.github.com/noverloop/c009b47332cb75b8659692753e....

=== About us ===

NoviCap is helping companies that need money to get early payments for their outstanding invoices.
We are based in Barcelona and have an international engineering team that likes rock climbing, predictable code, fantasy lore and science!

=== Senior software engineer ==

We are looking for a senior software engineer to help us roll out our early invoice payment api to UK and US. It involves scaling, lots of scraping and good knowledge of design patterns is a must.

We believe that great software is not written, it is rewritten once you get a much better idea of all the use-cases and common breakage patterns.

You must be experienced in at least one modern Object oriented programming language and we'll assume you can learn a new language in a short timeframe.

you can find more info in the gist above, the website: https://novicap.com/en/careers.html or by emailing me at nicolas@novicap.com
What in the world was Carmack doing, working on another company's project, using your current company's time and resources? Don't get me wrong, the guy is a genius, and I love nearly everything he has a hand in, but you would think that with his level of seniority, some alarm bells would have gone off in his head.
It would definitely be advertised as such.
Particularly given the "NES Classics" line, I would expect weird stuff to happen because these cartridges are effectively themselves emulations of games from different hardware.

Except it's not "half a millimeter thinner." The new 15" is halfway in size between the old 13" and the old 15". It makes it that much more practical to move up from an Air to a Pro, or from a 13" Pro to a 15" Pro.
> Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago that the left wing newspapers were reporting wild unsubstantiated rumors of a full-on Moscow piss orgy?

Well, that's actually a pretty interesting example to look at. For one, the dossier concerned contained a lot of accusations to do with members of Trump's team travelling to Eastern Europe to meet with Russian contacts, suspect financial transactions and the like - you yourself are doing it a disservice by describing it only as rumours of a "piss orgy".

But irrespective of that, the dossier had been known about for months. But the media organisations didn't report on it, specifically because they couldn't verify the information contained within it. But then Buzzfeed decided to publish it anyway, and at that point any responsible news organisation is left in a pretty impossible position - either don't report on the thing everyone is talking about, or report unsubstantiated accusations.
I'm more interested in enforcing the law we have like when compaines publicly announce that they are laying off their US workers to hire H1-B's which is a direct violation.
For one, because the citizens of NZ are concerned about the precedent it sets, and because it's explicitly against our immigration policies, and because the documents show a troubling standard.

1. Thiel arranged application through notorious figure Mark Wheldon (connected to senior govt figures and instrumental in gutting govt accountability in NZ media over several years)

2. Thiel gives a million dollars to the Earthquake fund

3. Thiels letter reads [paraphrasing] "Our applicant is anxious that his application for citizenship not be affected by his donation"

4. Application was subsequently approved in large part on the basis of the donation

This is very much seems to be a "Please ignore this bag of money on your desk" transaction. If NZ policies allowed that, that would be one thing, but it explicitly disallows that.

Thiel's money-for-citizenship deal has been highly prominent in all major sources of national news in NZ for several days.
You could use IFTTT, but I think you'd need to give it a Twitter account to work.

It's also an outrageous insinuation that John Carmack, the father of the FPS, needed "knowledge gained from Zenimax" in order to make Oculus happen.
I'm actually about to try out Calligra now that they've finally updated to Qt5. I live in Qt5 land (I'm convinced KDE 5 is the best desktop right now, features and design wise), mostly because Qt5 has been my favourite UI to program for. I hope it goes well.

I'd always be open to Apple putting a supercharged ARM chip in a prosumer laptop. We could always run a variant of linux on the laptop if OS X were too buggy.
You're getting downvoted for this and I don't think you should be. The recent flood of fake news is very different to honest reporting that fails, and even very different to opinion-led reporting that presents a side. It is deliberately factually incorrect news, created and promoted simply to get clicks and profit from advertising. There is absolutely no journalistic merit to it.
"That being said, it makes me laugh a little to see that Valve and the HTC Vive managed to outpace Oculus."

It was the other way around. Valve had been working in VR for years before the first oculus prototype. Oculus contacted Steam and copied the tech they had. The Steam guys actually helped Luckey because it was the small guy doing the open source thing.

They did not take into account the selloff to facebook of all this information.

I read the EO first. It pretty clearly excludes people who should have the right to be here, including people on work and student visas, and permanent American residents. The White House has since walked that back a little bit, no doubt due to the massive backlash, but the order itself is clear enough, and the order continues to block people who should be allowed to come here.

I don't know what "well-written" would mean here, but it's not a good order by any means.

The threat posed by Trump goes far beyond this, though. Right now, my hope is simply that we're all still alive to vote again in 2020. I'm quite serious about that. Trump has shown himself over and over to be highly insecure, obsessed with revenge, and unable to let any slight slide without a response. Put such a person in charge of the world's most powerful military and there's a good chance of a catastrophe.

Ignoring the threat of nuclear annihilation, there's also the threat to the foundations of our democracy. He constantly attacked our electoral system and refused to commit to accepting the outcome of the election. We didn't find out how he would have handled losing in 2016, but how would he handle losing in 2020, or hitting the 22nd Amendment in 2024? I wouldn't be at all surprised if he refuses to leave and precipitates a crisis.

There's plenty more, for example his offhand desire to strip American citizenship as punishment for flag burning, but those are the two main ones that concern me.

> he's putting the people of the United States first and foremost, a concept that hasn't happened in decades

This is perhaps true for ~60 million voters. Extrapolating that to the "people of the United States" is a stretch. It's like saying Obama put the people first because insuring 16M people promotes general well-being of society --some truth, but discounting perspectives of a large portion of "the people." It's more true that we haven't seen a president hold true to his base in decades (e.g. Obama didn't close Guantanamo).

> quite clear there is racial inclusion going on

As a person of color, I know several people of color who support Trump but I have not seen statements or policies that read or sound inclusive to me. Citations?
2017 type classes, 2018 Higher minded types ;)

Why not employ the people of your own country and help them. As opposed to hiring foreigners and bringing them to the US, what ever happened to supporting your country first?
This seems... suspect. There are definitely serious concerns (see the Mac Pro), but given the continued yearly releases of macOS and and the (much maligned, but a company spanning effort) touchbar, it hardly seems like they have plans to divest.
As usual, Pearl has some good writing on this:

http://bayes.cs.ucla.edu/BOOK-2K/causality2-epilogue.pdf

>Take, for instance, Newton’s law:

>f = ma.

>The rules of algebra permit us to write this law in a wild variety of syntactic forms, all meaning the same thing – that if we know any two of the three quantities, the third is determined.

>Yet, in ordinary discourse we say that force causes acceleration – not that accelera- tion causes force, and we feel very strongly about this distinction.

>Likewise, we say that the ratio f/a helps us determine the mass, not that it causes the mass.

>Such distinctions are not supported by the equations of physics, and this leads us to ask whether the whole causal vocabulary is purely metaphysical, “surviving, like the monarchy . . .”.

>Fortunately, very few physicists paid atten- tion to Russell’s enigma. They continued to write equations in the office and talk cause–effect in the cafeteria; with astonishing success they smashed the atom, invented the transistor and the laser.
It would be great to have a runtime for JRuby that's really stripped down to just the necessities. The spin-up time of the jruby environment is painful and it seems predominantly the fault of the JVM's baggage.
Screen readers and search engines haven't been confused by tables since last century.
I don't think Carmack works that way. All he really cares about professionally (I'm not talking about his personal life or rocketry) is doing good work and pushing his code to the limits of the field. Oculus hardware was a big coding challenge without much marked territory or set rules for Carmack, so that's probably the only thing he was thinking about while working.

Only interstate commerce is regulated in the Constitution.
Yeah - feels too late to turn that ship around. If you instead focused on making a VB6-like language that just had enough features to interact cleanly with most .NET APIs... you'd end up in a very different place today than where VB.NET has been taken by its attempt to have every C# feature implemented with just a different, more wordy syntax. Especially as you could lean on a lot of the DLR functionality to provide VB-like 'variant' types.
I would be shocked if Apple didn't have macOS running on some ARM development systems internally. It's not even that much of a stretch -- both systems use nearly the same kernel, and the iOS userspace runs on x86 as part of the iOS Simulator.
Wait, so which do you believe? Your first sentence contradicts the rest of your comment.
His stated goal is protecting American interests.

It's not at all clear that his policies do anything to accomplish that goal. His executive order on immigration was quite likely counterproductive to American interests. Sure, it disrupted travel for a large number of people that had already been through a thorough vetting process (the claims that doing this made us safer are weak, the existing vetting process was effective, people who went through it had killed 0 people in the US), but it also made the US look foolish and capricious.
Speculating about what Apple's going to do is a great way to be wrong but I don't really see it. In both of their CPU migrations the switch was to substantially more powerful CPUs. I can see them making more 'pro' iOS devices, Macs with ARMs as coprocessors, etc. Ditching Intel altogether? I can't think of ways the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.
From my understanding the x86 license is not transferable upon purchase.

IIRC AMD's cross-licensing deals with Intel over certain key patents are null and void if AMD is bought, which puts a real damper on the main reason anyone would consider purchasing the company.
So, some people are talking about iOS itself possibly dropping support for 32-bit hardware, while others (including myself) are talking about issues with existing hardware not even being able to run things that will soon no longer be downloadable, and are taking this as an opportunity to lament over the lack of historical preservation of software. FWIW, you might mean the former, but I'm going to address the latter.

In one of the few really legitimately "open" things Google does with Android, they provide emulators for their devices and downloadable historic stock firmwares; and because they don't have control over their hardware, they don't have the ability to implement "actually good" DRM on their application archive files. Apple has set up an environment where when they sunset something, it will actually fade from existence: that is not the case with Android.
The digits and letters actually map quite nicely to punch cards. You can see how punches 0 - 9 map exaclty to EBCDIC F0-F9. And if you check how the letters are coded on punch cards (1 - 9 plus one punch "above" in the zone and 0 rows) you can see how it maps exactly to EBCDIC C1-C9, D1-D9, E2-E9. Most other characters aren't coded quite as neatly, I don't know if there is a system to them.
Both Erlang and Elixir have access to Erlang's ETS (an OS-process-local cache) and it is sparingly used in the cases when mutability is undoubtedly the more efficient approach.

The FP folk aren't close-minded about this. They just use mutability only when it's provably more performant than their builtin immutable data structures.

> In QBism the quantum state of a system instead represents an agent's beliefs about what will happen in future interactions with the system.

Okay, I think this is my problem. I don't see how these kinds of statement are about quantum mechanics specifically. For example, I could say "In Newtonian mechanics, the classical state of a system represents an agent's beliefs about what will happen in future interactions with the system.". To me, that sentence tracks exactly as well as the quantum variant. But surely qbism is more than just some kind of hardcore solipsism applied to superpositions.

It also seems that the claim that a quantum state can't be portrayed with objective, observer-independent variables is simply wrong. We all agree on how to objectively represent the spin of an electron: as a vector in Hilbert space. And different observers doing an experiment will come to agree on which specific vector to use.

Barack Obama signed more executive actions in first 12 days than Donald Trump
That is only half the problem, from the article: "Cambridge Analytica buys personal data from a range of different sources, like land registries, automotive data, shopping data, bonus cards, club memberships, what magazines you read, what churches you attend."

Data collection like this still occurs without the internet. In addition, decentralization of the internet does not necessarily prevent targeted ads. IE, now instead of buying an ad from facebook that targets everyone with interest x in geographic area y, now we buy an ad on a local website for interest x in geographic area y.

I think the issue is a lot of the complaints about fake news are not of the objectively false stuff, but of the kind where you report what some crackpot analyst says. It's objectively true that "PERSON X THINKS THIS" but it used to be journalists wouldn't print that because it was nonsense. For an example of this consider the Trump intelligence report or the Pizzagate analysis. In the internet age a lot of these analysts are getting a voice and people with agendas are listening/promoting those voices.

So it seems logical to me that someone could become very, very, very rich if they built a news platform that was effectively "fake news" free.

Even if all the platform did was accept "news stories" and transparently verify it's authenticity I think people would clamor for it.

Of course the devil is in the details because that would require proper investigative journalism, which may be prohibitively expensive.
> that's why ^J is a literal newline

So I don't quite understand how that table explains it. I mean aside from the fact J character code being the LF code with first two bits zeroed.
Honestly, it seems like they're doing the right thing now, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if the answer to this is, "They shouldn't have put it there in the first place."

Yes, it's probably some stock-standard boilerplate contract, but if companies can write contracts that contractors accept only on the assumption that they'll never be enforced, then when someone calls them out for it, they get to say, "Oh, people hate this? We'll change it (now).", what gives people the incentive to start with reasonble terms.
