Also, the customers that do care basically don't have much choice. With the Nexus line gone, you have to spend a lot of money for a Pixel to get a decent chance of having updates for a few years.

For the past year I've been every now and then looking for a mid-level Android tablet and I've always given up, since they all ship already with an outdated version of Android and slim chances of even getting an update to the current one (let alone future versions)
I hope the userland is POSIX/Linux compliant. There's a TON of useful software reliant on this compliance that will go to waste if it isn't compliant out-of-the-box.
I think big 3rd party services like google can be used reliably? Just that in the beginning, adding own authentication with password management, email verification, password reset would be too slow to implement and maybe less secure than 3rd party? And in the moment of crisis like a hack, it does feel like handling nuclear waste!!
Everyone says redux and react make for great component isolation.

How many of you people who use this combo can swap redux out at a whim, for another state management tool? How many of your components have been modified to work with the opinions of redux? Why do i need to couple my components with redux using connect()?

In my experience, redux and react on there own present decent patterns to simplify UI experience, but ive never seen a discussion that involves them that doesnt couple one with the other.
Yeah I am implementing authentication with jwt tokens. Using their open source middleware library in golang
I agree. Did they get rid of a lot of people on probation? They're standards may not be realistic and joining would be a big risk. Are a lot of people quitting before the base probation? That's a pretty big indication to run.
Just like RHEL/CentOS, couldn't Google maintain a stable kernel ABI throughout a given android major release such that manufacturers could write a driver once, and have it continue working for the lifetime of that major android release?
Does a software company focus on improving just one aspect of their software or during any time progress is made on several fronts? Why is it that governments (specially the ones in developing countries) are expected to make progress in only one front when there are more specialised departments for each areas?

> This is not true. There is absolutely a pay rate, and set of labour conditions in which Americans will do those jobs.

But maybe not one at which the jobs would still exist; increasing price decreases market clearing quantity, ceteris paribus. You can either have poor wages and working conditions in farm labor, more direct government subsidies for agriculture, or less agriculture getting done in the US, because if you increase wages and thereby prices, you aren't going to move as much goods. Various treaties (and domestic politics) interfere with the second option, and there is overwhelming domestic political resistance to the last option, so we get the first even though it's frequently a source of complaints (and rests on the back of illegal immigration, which is itself unpopular).

Not endorsing any aspect of the state of affairs, but that's just the way it is.

> Some things won't be able to be done in the US - that's fine. Move that to other places. Let Mexico and Africa have a cut of the business.

Mexico has sizable food exports, as does pretty much every place with the arable land and political stability to grow export crops. Decreasing US production by increasing labor costs in the US for ag labor may make some additional production elsewhere economical that isn't already, but the main impact would be lower global production of food and higher global prices. Arable land isn't, unlike industrial capital, something that is readily movable to wherever labor and other conditions are most favorable to production.

Perhaps git should throw a warning when you try to do an octopus merge with more parents than an octopus has legs. If you really want to proceed, add the --cthulhu option. The default behavior would be --no-cthulhu.

+1 for manual instrumentation should be the exception, not the norm. However many time there is instinct to log everything that you don't pay enough attention to what one metric is most valuable to your business. And when you need it, its just too tough to get it + system slows down because of logging everything (if building inhouse).

Btw Autotrack is direct competitor to heap. How are you going to maintain differentiation? Or something for which heap gives 10x that autotrack doesn't?

> This could be the first time Apple needs to truly worry about Google.

Er... what?

Apple has been worried, and actually threatened, by Google every day since 2008, when the first version of Android came out.

Without Android, Apple would probably have a 90% monopoly on mobile phones today. Saying they might be "worried" is beyond an understatement.

They are absolutely furious at Google, as Jobs was until he passed away.
> It is not close to equivalent.

It's equivalent, with different (unknown) constraints. Aurora is specifically for scaling workloads in the same way. You can say it's horizontal (machine) over vertical (resource) but it's all a matter of accounting.

The big nono is the Spanner pricepoint. I will stick with Aurora for scaling based on traffic I use, over pricey timeslices.

You would have to have quite a load to justify the switch from cheaper de jour solutions right now (AWS). Relying on the few that do, is a risk.
> The effect of these serotonin “peaks” on locomotion was almost instantaneous (speed reduction manifested one second after stimulation) and transient, with things going back to normal after five seconds. But during this short period of time, “the animals acted as if they weren’t motivated”, says Zach Mainen, who led the study.

I'm really, really, not sure how they can draw the link to general motivation. Ok, so the animals seemed not motivated after serotonin spiked? Couldn't that possibly just be due to the transient effect alone? Like, once stabilized at higher levels, maybe they would have normal, or even higher motivation. It was that you "shocked" them with it..
I see that it could be true for many desktop and mobile phone applications but who should develop the operating systems, embedded applications and backends? It is a full time job just to learn all the programming languages, libraries, frameworks, standards, protocols and other related things.
I'm not sure this is a real counterpoint: with no microscopes or tools, they figured out airborne infections and learned to stay away from dead and rotting things, as well as gases emitted by those who were sick (the same way we're not walking around inhaling peoples' coughs).

Of course it's "almost correct", and the theory had holes which we've gotten better at. But the old 'wrong' version gave people a good way to act when faced with limited knowledge.

In the diet arena, we are still very much faced with limited knowledge.

> But... "average garbage-collected language using a virtual machine" doesn't describe any of C/C++, Dart, Go, Java, Python, or Rust.

I'm curious; what would be an example of something you would describe as an "average garbage collected language using a virtual machine"? Java would certainly be the first language I'd think of for that description.
I was thinking the same thing! Maybe it's better to look into some smaller service which offer e.g. PostgreSQL as a Service like https://www.elephantsql.com/plans.html or https://www.databaselabs.io/pricing/ (I'm sure they are even more, just done a quick googling). Does somebody has experience with such services?
> Maintaining existing software for customers costs handset manufacturers $$$, and disincentives consumers purchasing new phones (their cash cow).

Maybe Google should split play store/app ad income with manufacturers, adding some incentives (50/50 profit split for phones on latest Android, 20/80 for one trailing major version - and then nothing. Or something along those lines).

That might have the added benefit (for Google) that manufacturers would have a stake in a healthy play ecosystem.

It's the ability to impose a private tax on ads and software that's supposed to be the monetizing strategy for walled gardens, isn't it?

If hw is commoditized - manufacturers need another leg to stand on.
Most of them already fail to do so for tablets, why would that change?
Not really as I haven't done it personally but there's loads of people doing it including many friends of mine in China and Thailand. A lot of them do it semi-legally. There are entire communities dedicated to this sort of thing, try searching TEFL or TESOL or similar. If you don't want the visa hassles you can do it online too, usually via Skype I think. The matching operators take a fat cut, 15% I heard.
Speaking of ugly and janky, Kijiji is much worse than Craigslist in this area. It's remarkable to me that people use it.

It has not found popularity in Vancouver, where Craigslist is ubiquitous.

Why would the number of jobs be fixed? Do all countries have the same number of jobs, regardless of population?
You're misinterpreting.

The value of the insurance is 1,000 Euros. Meaning USPS needs to pay out 1,000 Euros if they lose the package (that's what ryanlol was referring to). The price of the insurance (that the shipper paid) was not 1,000 Euros. Nobody said what it was, but it's going to be some small fraction of that.
Depends on your definition of abuse. I would consider many people's caffeine, alcohol, nicotine or sugar habits to be abusive to their overall health.
Interesting info about CM, didn't know there was more to it.

I still disagree with play services because it wouldn't be that hard to force manufacturers to support updates when you command such a large part of the market
The drivers-wifi repository contains a stub for a Qualcomm QCA6174 driver[1] which is found in the Nexus 5X[2], OnePlus 2[3] and meant for smartphones[4]. The drivers-gpu-msd-intel-gen repository contains drivers for Intel 8th and 9th gen integrated graphics[5].

Nice to get a technical writeup from them. Seems plausible to me: I'm sympathetic, at least. :)
The obvious alternative would be to make the plan IDs reflect the resource limit, e.g. 1024, 2048, 4096, etc.

But that doesn't work with Linode plans because they keep increasing the resources every now and then. They doubled the RAM on all the low-end plans a couple of years ago. Before that, they doubled the storage.

Another option would be to use random IDs that point to a specific bundle of resources. But then the plans change, and the previous bundle is no longer available for purchase.

It's hard to use consistent identifiers when the resources they point to change so often. Linode customers absolutely love those free upgrades.
Note that cell providers will install perfectly legitimate temporary towers to handle increased demand, so simply looking for a surge in signal strength over "normal" levels doesn't necessarily indicate surveillance.

CNN (notoriously anti-Trump) calculates Trump has created around 34,000 jobs.

http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/03/news/economy/donald-trump-jo...

Not sure where the 100-200 people statistic comes from, but it seems a little on the low side.

There are plenty of things to criticize Trump about, but making things up to make him look bad reflects badly on the person making things up, not on Trump.
Google has Chromebooks securely locked down, down to the hardware crypto -- there may be (speculating) inherent security issues with running mobile apps in the browser when you can't lock down the external environment.
There are two ways to make them more loosely coupled:

1. declare your connect's in a separate file that import your component and live alongside your containers, actions, reducers, etc.

2. write your own connect HOC that brings in redux. If you read the connect source[0] you'll find that it is actually really simple at it's core - but it is over complicated by having to account for so many use cases - your own HOC could/should be ~30 lines

I now use 2. because it produces proper separation and makes it easy to swap out components later on (or use more than one).

This is for 2006. And before we pile the hate on java do consider what still applies. And what of it applies to your language of choice.
Redux in its essensce encourages half assed event sourcing.

Why do i need to memoise my state to stop the react render loop from happening? Isnt my event the source of truth? Its much more then a DTO.

Once your application becomes "event centric" instead of "state centric" you start to actually break free of the procedural paradgim and really become functional reactive.

Redux to me is DDD and ES for non-programmers. My domain logic is the gatekeeper to my state, and as such, should be coupled together. I dont combine my aggregates, just the same way i dont combineReducers. Code smell much.

It made no measurable difference. The acceptance criteria for the system were not materially affected. Since the optimization did not improve the performance by that, it was generally set one way ( mostly off ) and let that way.

Uber's Mapping Project Has Kicked Off in Johannesburg
Because it's a horrible experience.

That's just my anecdotal view, but I have never tried a web based app (electron native app thing or webapp in the browser) that is as great an experience (UX and UI) as the best of the best native apps on Mac and iPhone, and I'm not sure it's possible to push web tech that far without reimplementing everything in the web stack and making it as close to native that we're better off just writing native apps.

Unintended consequence #1: phones that are too slow to adequately run the latest version will be force-upgraded Windows-10-style even if it degrades the user experience.
So, the USPS has a pretty strict set of rules for ensuring that mail is only delivered to the address it was mailed to, and it's all based on what's on the package.

One interesting bit: if you mail something to an address that is valid, defined overly simplistically as "zip matches city/state, street exists, street number exists within the valid numerical range for that street regardless of whether there's actually a box there", it doesn't matter what the name is on it, it will go to that address. Even if their own records show no one by that name has received mail there and that someone by that name lives across the street.

On one hand, it's frustrating from a common sense type issue like yours. On the other, it at least blocks one class of social engineering type issues and lets the shipper's intent be fully represented by the package itself (even if it's wrong).

Out of curiosity, was the actual "Sprig" street a real street name or not? I can't remember at what point the name comes into play with a bad address.

I don't know. I think many "tablet" apps would work fine on the Surface 4 (if they got scaling right).

I still think touch screens is the future - also on desktops (there either in tablet form or "drafting table" form).

I think editors more like acme and less like vim might rise up. Along with new input types like the power bar and surface wheel.

Kenya Data Collection Company Has Raised US$1.1M in Seed Round
It is utterly bizarre. This stuff angers and confuses me in equal measure. It's like a complete refusal to participate in society, just the expectation that someone else will come and tidy up after you. How do these people behave elsewhere in their lives?

One example I keep seeing is people who buy a pack of cigarettes, rip off the plastic film covering and just drop it on the floor. It sends me into a silent rage every time.

Optimizing Bitcoin’s Transaction Generation Code
Now this is a reasonable objection. Small form factor touch screen interfaces just don't work the same way as mouse-based desktop interfaces with acres of space. Trying to use a phone UI on a desktop is heinous (as is pointed out above with Windows 10 as the example.)
I think the "post paid" connection leading to a 2 year lifecycle is suspect. There's a big after market repair industry in the US. Many people have a singular cell phone as their internet device - and it's often ancient by IT terms. 2+ year old hardware needs to be getting software/OS upgrades.
I think it's meant as that being amazing in the job shouldn't be an excuse for being a terrible person.

While I generally agree with the post (I only skimmed it yet), I am skeptical that it can be completely realized. There are many examples from history of terrible people succeeding, because they were really good at their jobs. If a community gets rid of them completely, it will put itself at a disadvantage. You know, evolution/game theory is a bitch and all that.
This seems like an incredibly optimistic perspective on Wall Street. Is there any basis for thinking that Wall Street success correlates to fact availability?

Nomiku (YC W15) is hiring a lead software engineer for a react native app
We’re a small team of food lovers changing the way people eat. We built the first home sous vide immersion circulator, the first wifi connected sous vide machine, and the largest sous vide community. We are looking to the future with a new product and are looking to add a lead software developer to our team.

We’ve got software from the microcontroller (in C++) to the cloud (Node and Rails) to the phone (React Native). We are looking for a talented individual who will guide development and understand each component of this stack. We are primarily looking to push our app development further, so experience in React or React Native would be preferred.

This is a key technical hire, with significant equity and lots of room to influence the strategic direction of the company. The best fit will probably be someone hoping to be a technical founder in their next role.

Nomiku has raised from a number of top-tier investors such as YC, Stewart Alsop, Dave Morin, Dave McClure, Shana Fisher, and Chris Sacca. If you'd like to hear more please send your github profile or something you've built to hiring@nomiku.com or visit us at http://www.nomiku.com

We're located in San Francisco's mission district, just blocks from BART. We welcome remote developers, especially from the west coast.
