That's good to know. Maybe I'll try to use Windows as a development platform when it has another major release. I'm really impressed that WSL exists at all. I didn't think Microsoft had it in them to allow such a project to flourish.

At the end of the day, however, I really hate writing code on Windows. I don't write much Java or C#, instead sticking to Elixir, Ruby, Python, Node, and Golang. Every time I try to use Windows I just get super frustrated. I remember showing up to a Code for San Francisco meeting with a Windows laptop and being the only person there without a Mac. I mean, go check out node-gyp's 500 comment 'windows users arent happy' issue to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

WSL makes an impact on a lot of the issues that frustrate me. Knowing I have a tool chain that can actually compile C extensions matters. I'll never, ever bet my career on Windows but I might one day use it as hobbyist development platform.

While I have you here, will the Windows console ever 'get better?' Rendering console text on Windows is... pretty awful, I'm not going to lie. Going from Linux to Windows is fairly painful; when I `cat` a large file in Windows it then takes seven years for all the text to render. Day to day usage just feels sluggish and awkward in comparison to a Linux terminal. Even if WSL was a flawless piece of engineering, the 'terminal experience' on Windows could do with some TLC. Are there any internal plans to make improvements?
Depends on who you ask.

Politics is much more appealing. It's what drive power hungry people. Mark have money, have some power, makes an impact with his decisions. Politics gives access to much more power. Influencing media and news does this as well. Such power can be used to change election results, start riots, force your own agendas and control thinking stream of masses.
I haven't tried it myself but it appears as if you can get this up and running on your own collection of devices assuming you can all get them managed under the built-in google device management or using JAMF for iOS. It's nothing really related to Netflix other than that they are using this on their corporate-owned devices to make sure everything is secure. I guess this is simply just a nice way to combine a bunch of different data sources from mobile device management services (android, ios, windows, etc) into a single dashboard. I don't really run enough things that would require something like this but I can definitely see this helping businesses that want to do MDM.
Well of course you need a way to deal with that, you could have a tolerance or tolerated error and then if that gets over a threshold you request the full precision location. Still loads more efficient than sending the full precision every time.
Erm ... that's exactly what WSL does. Not quite sure how we'd be able to run ELF64 Linux binaries without building a comprehensive Linux ABI compatible layer.

In The Netherlands we have these rules as well. It's forbidden to publicly offend _groups_ of people because of their race, faith, sex or handicap (art. 137c). It's also forbidden to encourage racism, hate or violence (art. 137d) and to publish or even possess publications that do so (art. 137e).
KDevelop is also a very good C++ IDE for Linux.
> Just take the whole interviewing experience as a chance to meet new people, have a mentally stimulating exchange, and that's it.

You're not wrong, but if one needs to put a premium on their time it's a little more complicated than that. Particularly if you need to take time off and travel for an interview, it'd be nice if the whole thing was more than a minor social experience.

Oh, Hacker News. Don't ever change.
In time we'll see that our biggest problem is mediated communication. Facebook is not a common carrier. They curate, and as they swallow up larger areas of communication they have the ability to impact world opinion and events.

Even if they don't use that power, it is a power that should be checked because it can be abused without our knowledge.

Google and Twitter are in similar positions.

I was just pointing out that your "question" was likely just a trap. If I say "Trump gets X right" you'll reply "The problem with this is..." and proceed to show why Trump doesn't actually get X right. It doesn't really matter what X is, you'll find some way to discredit it. It's not just you, either, republicans did the same thing to Obama finding problems with everything he did.
One thing that jumped out for me is the pervasiveness of white fragility. For example: Stop being politically correct. I'm white but I'm not privileged. Stop calling us racists.

If you're not familiar with this term, White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress be- comes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation.

[edit: Can someone explain why this comment is being downvoted?]
I think that's an inaccurate assessment. If someone at such a show holds a minority viewpoint and doesn't want to be the only person clapping, that is up to them. I have never seen a contemporary domestic example of the attitude you describe, of someone like that being "seen as a criminal", except at Donald Trump rallies.
This is simple in SQL. There are multiple ways of doing it. For example, using a GROUP BY...

SELECT published_posts, COUNT(published_posts)
FROM Table1
WHERE publish_date > '2017-02-20'
GROUP BY published_posts
Thanks a lot. The big impact vs specialized impact does frame things well. I almost see the PhD as a necessary condition for my career path; akin to an MD for a doctor. There are no laws governing the work like an MD. However, when I look at the people who are in the positions I want, less than 5% have masters, the rest are all PhDs. I'm in my late 20s by the way.
As someone else who is a landlord, I would undercut you by a small margin to ensure I'm taking in rental income. Depending on supply (which you care naught about) you may find yourself sitting on empty units priced at 1/3 UBI wondering where all the tenants are.

Liberals in USA has reached the level of maniacal stupidity. I love politics and participate in events across the political spectrum. But despite my genuine efforts I find the typical left to be completely unfathomable.
I generally try not to get political online; I don't find it very effective (e.g. how many people's opinions have really changed based on their online readings?)

However, in this case, I do want to provide a couple contrarian viewpoints.

One, I am an 'asset owner', and the rent problem is real. Once one reaches a certain threshold of wealth, it becomes almost obnoxious how quickly it grows beyond one's consumption. For instance, I reached the modest 'few million' threshold several years ago, and I have some financial managers. I don't often look at my bank accounts. But, when I do, I am always shocked by how much my net-worth has grown. And, that's after trying to be generous to friends and family (i.e. $10k here, $20k there).

Two, I don't find taxation to be theft. In fact, I pay so little in tax based on what I earn from capital gains, that I never even think about it. And, I'm often surprised that some of my 'average-income' friends are so vehemently ideological about it. But, more to the point, I look at taxation similar to a lease. For instance, I can go rent some capital equipment and use it to build some ROI. And, afterward I pay the owner for the opportunity. I don't think that is theft, so why would I view tax any differently? Or in other words, how would I have been able to profit as much had I lived somewhere else with much less 'social capital'? That isn't to say that I find government efficient or non-corrupt, but those are just the kinks in the system that will always need to be worked out.

I don't expect to change any opinions here. I don't even know if anyone reads this shit. But, I just wanted to point these things out for people who haven't yet formed their ideology.
Yeah feel free to message me if you want to talk some more.

I see you've got a start using Vue which is awesome. React Native might be another option though if you don't want to dive into Swift and Java since obviously you already know JS . I don't know what you have planned as far as features but I can't imagine a reason why it wouldn't be a good platform for you other than the fact that you've already used Vue.

The "native" apps you're talking about are usually called "Progressive Web Apps". I can't really speak much to developing or using them but I know Google is pushing hard for them.
It depends on how you say it.

"You're racist!" is an attack.

"That thing you just said was racist." is better but will still come off as an attack.

"Have you ever thought about how what you said will impact [minority group]?" will work much better.
Work can provide opportunities that you can't (or can't easily) get outside that. So for example, it's been a dream of mine all my life to move to the USA. Currently I'm trying to find a job there.

In a world full of robots doing my job, how can I ever be sponsored for a VISA? I can't self sponsor as I don't really meet any of the criteria for self sponsorship.

Perhaps I could marry but I wouldn't do that just for a green card, that's dishonest and I won't do that.

Maybe in the UBI utopia, people will be able to move to other countries just by asking. I'm not holding my breath though.
Maybe it's just that I use packagecloud and follow people in their circle on Twitter, but Joe Damato is the CEO and founder: https://twitter.com/joedamato

I'm under the impression that he may also write a lot these himself? Not entirely certain, though.
Every time I'm at the barber's and they ask if I want my sideburns trimmed I can't not think of and laugh at that bit in this episode. As far as I know, I don't ever have any significant sideburns to speak of and that episode really called into question my understanding of what exactly a sideburn is.
Well yeah, if you think about it and try to view the world from their view it looks like everything is an attack.

Take climate change, regardless of its truth or not, if you treat people that are skeptical or reject it as if they are idiots not worth your time, eventually they're just going to embrace it as part of their identity. Same thing where if we call most of middle america racists for voting trump, I think we'll get just that. You're already getting called racist, even if you don't fit the bill, after a while you probably stop caring.

Just seems like a bit of a natural human response. An example: as someone that grew up in "flyover country" the overall view that the east and west coast tend to have on the middle of america is rather appalling at times. I think both sides need to have a bit of self reflection on how far into the abyss they've gazed and how much of their alleged rivals worst behaviors they've internalized.

This is not a new phenomenon. Wes Bush (who?) literally makes long-range strategic bombers. The industrial capacity at Musk's or Bezos's disposal only acquires a sinister Shadowrun tint when the institutional structures constraining their ability to act begin to dissolve. If we slide into a cyberpunk dystopia, the catalyst will be political, not technological.

Oh that's nice. Maybe our side has the wrong goal. Maybe we should be working for a world where the tables are turned and you fear for your livelihood instead.
Ask HN: What do you use to manage passwords in your small team, other than okta?
Right now we have 2 people in the team. We are using Okta (30-day free trial) to manage passwords for all these online accounts, e.g., AWS, sendgrid ...

Just got phone call from okta sales representative, who said that we can't use okta because we are not able to pay at lease $1500 annually.

What else do you use to manage these passwords?
Honestly not sure this sheds much light. Doesn't it boil down to:

I always vote Republican regardless, sorry.

I vote according to my pet wedge issue (usually guns or abortion), sorry.

I'm bigoted and racist but I'm not going to admit to that.

The alternative candidate wasn't very appealing so I figured why not?

I liked the idea of a bomb-thrower, sorry.
Countries with atomic weapons have never invaded another country with atomic weapons. This is a great improvement over WWI and WWII, although it is hard to know what the long tail risk is of killing almost everybody with a full scale nuclear exchange and nuclear winter. I think maybe the best situation would be that each responsible (to be determined) country would be allowed 10-30 nukes on ICBMs only (verified somehow; live cameras plus inspections?). With nukes on ICBMs only there would be no sneak attack where the attacker is unknown. With a small number of nukes, deterrence is still likely and the possibility of a nuclear winter is eliminated. I'd trust Norway with a small nuclear arsenal.
No, it's not. But what has got people angry is that it's not you pointing out that what some person said is racist, but rather a group of people declaring that anyone who supports candidate A is a racist. Tarring all Trump supporters or all Republicans or all rural people as racist because one or some of them are is a problem.

An client-side SSL interception API exists: SSLKEYLOGFILE. It isn't any help for security appliances though.

Also, it is only implemented in Firefox and Chrome; Microsoft doesn't support it in their browser or at the OS level.

I'm suprised it still exists, it seems like a juicy malware target, just like these poorly implemented SSL MitMs.

I will always remember how badly good Ken Griffey, Jr's voice acting was. There was a blooper reel that made the rounds on the tubes but Fox seems to have nerfed it.
That's probably the biggest problem here. Many people will regard your response as an attack and shut down. People also think that saying something is their opinion enables them to say whatever you want without suffering consequences.
There is a very strong perception that if you are a conservative and you speak out either against left-wing views, someone will try to destroy your career and rob you of your livelihood. Take a look at a recent example of a teacher who made comments on Facebook about the #DayWithoutImmigrants[0]. Those parents who supported amnesty ascribed racism to what was an otherwise completely non-racist comment, and enough of them complained to force the school to act against him. You simply can't ask for the rule of law in America anymore without putting your career at serious jeopardy.

If you are using the phone for work, you shouldn't be opening up access to a local admin account. Rooting/jailbreaking is a double edged sword. You get more control over the device but you also open up access to malicious applications. Just because you may be smart enough to run a rooted phone without compromising it, doesn't mean everyone else is capable. Keeping the phone locked down can greatly help prevent intrusions and otherwise unwanted code from running. You can do a lot more damage as root than you can as a user.

You were given that device to do work on, not take apart and do whatever you wish with it. If you want your own dev device, buy your own phone. I see plenty of coworkers who carry around two devices each day.

Companies that lock down the employee computers to only allow whitelisted applications to run deal with a lot less reimaging and malware cleaning that those that give local admin access to the employee. It does result in employees having to request installation of things outside the standard core software but it still takes less time than dealing with typical malware.
> Select candidates who are keenly interested in and knowledgeable about algorithms for positions where it's important (i.e. part of the regular course of development), not because of that slight chance there is one edge case where one adjustment to a more efficient algorithm might possibly be useful at some indeterminate point in the future.

Well put! At the end of the day, it's way more important to get your product out to customers/users rather than holding a microscope over every line of code you write and endlessly obsessing over big O numbers. It's fine if you're in academia, but it can be a death knell if you're working in a crowded domain. You can always go back and improve code later; customers/users are not going to come back later.
Exactly. And publishing any article that can be defined as hate speech is an offense in Germany and The Netherlands. Don't know about other countries.
NT is basically OpenVMS.

So it's about a decade more advanced than UNIX. Put like that, moving to UNIX would be a regression, but not a huge one.

The Linux kernel is of about the same vintage as NT, though. And it's had a lot more work and public review done on it.
A succinct overview, from our docs. We're excited to see what comes of this and would love to hear feedback.

The Burner API enables programmatic access to core telephony functions like sending and receiving messages and media, as well as the “business logic” layer we’ve spent years building.

Key Burner features include per-line configuration and settings, contact management, blocking and muting, content filtering, text auto-responses, and more.

Full API access to Burner means developers can now build integrations that enhance and extend Burner’s messaging and application capabilities in ways that we believe represent the future of smart phone numbers.

Developers can also take advantage of this API to embed Burner’s basic and enhanced calling and messaging experiences into their apps via OAuth. Your users get all the benefits and features of our top-rated voice and messaging client (and the support and business functions that stand behind it), while you get all the benefits of controlling the phone number at the network level. In effect, you can treat the Burner app itself as a service, rather than building your own “last mile” on top of a bare-bones telephony API.

We also offer incoming and outgoing webhooks that can be used in conjunction with API access or enabled per Burner Line via our Developer Connection.
Is it unproductive though?

Humans are social animals, and like to know they're doing the "right" thing, where "right" is often defined by what everyone else is doing. A common example of this kind of "social proof" is a counter productive littering campaign that told people that everyone was doing it. So people thought, well if it's good enough for them.

It seems clear to me that people don't like being called racist. So much so that they'll try really hard to convince people to stop calling them racist, by threatening to do more racist stuff if they don't. Probably, though they don't like to talk about it as much, simply the threat of being called racist hold them back from doing racist things.

This theory is also corroborated by the number of people who suddenly felt their xenophobia was widely shared and that they could therefore attack random people after Brexit or Trump's victory. Literally often prefacing their behaviour with the announcement that it was now okay.

I have to admit I don't know with certainty if it's productive or not. But if the people saying it is are mostly concern trolls, then I'll take a leaf out of their book and reject it just because I don't like their tone.
Wow, that dramatic increase in frequency just magically happened huh?
My apologies, I mis-spoke. I've flogged myself mercilessly and shall not make that same mistake again ;)
Wait, I thought Silicon Valley was in California. California voted for Hillary 62%, Trump 32%, and that Hillary's popular vote win was basically all from California (http://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/its-official-cl...)

That's hardly a suppressed majority silently voting for Trump. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, here?
We use KeePassX. Open source, and reviewed by the security community. I am not a fan of cloud shared passwords. https://www.keepassx.org/

The database it uses is encrypted, and you could store the central in Dropbox for easier use (although less secure - and add a much higher rate password)

>1. At this time, we don't grant quota for GPUs for free trial customers (hello various coin miners!). However, if you upgrade from your free trial, you do keep your $300, and that's just money :).

What do I have to upgrade to? Isn't GCE all per-minute? Do I just have to pay $0.05 for a standard instance and then use the $300 from my trial?

Also, is coin mining against any TOS? I'm not planning on doing it, I'm just curious.
I've hacked around lambda quite a bit (I think the compressed size of one function is a tad under the max allowed). My hacks I remember are:

- Run strip all .so libraries -- many aren't stripped fully

- In Python I manually deleted sub packages of numpy/scipy I didn't need

- If you're loading large models at initialize, numpy load routines are _much_ faster than cPickle. Have it load at module initialization, not during each invocation.

I should really write a blog post about my experience with it.

At a certain point I decided I was doing something that lambda really wasn't designed for -- I'm looking at migrating off, but the current implementation makes capacity planning super easy. Provisioning 1000 machines with 1GB of RAM for 15 minutes every day to read off a queue isn't a trivial problem.

(Also, if anyone from AWS is reading, being able to limit the max concurrency of a single function vs account level limits would be super useful).
