"Everything is contracted out to Datacom, Catalyst, Frondie, Solnet, etc. etc."

It's true that there's a big services sector, especially around government work. But there's also a lively startup/R&D scene. I worked 4 years for Mindscape (a dev tools startup, later to become Raygun), and then moved to GreenButton (HPC in the cloud, later acquired by Microsoft; the R&D team is still based in Wellington). Xero is a thriving, lively product company, although now large and mature; same with TradeMe. Weta Digital has a lot of in-house tech. And there are companies like 8i, just kicking off doing amazing things in motion capture and rendering.

So what you're saying is fair for "IT services" tech - if you want to do that, then yeah, Datacom is it. But there's so much more to the Wellington tech scene than IT services.
Then you don't get the benefit you were looking for from this event and then either try again or do something different? I don't get the point of your question.

I just received an email from amazon re hiring availability. supposedly this email is 'invite' only for a new dept running all the new tech 'at scale'.

how targeted are these? jr or sr? what payscales should i expect? are they just throwing a super wide net based on linkedin crawls?

It would be great to have access to article view to build other clients, such as a Linux client.

Not everything Cloudflare has written about this breach has been good, but this is solid. In particular, I'm satisfied that commercially reasonable efforts have been made to ensure there wasn't deliberate exploitation of the bug.

What remains now is an accounting of how some of the most sensitive C code on the Internet was tested prior to the discovery of this bug (by Cloudflare's own accounting, the underlying error seems to have been present long before it became symptomatic), and what they're doing about that now.
"a bacteria" refers to the species, not individuals of the species.
I've heard the term used in London as well. But never in the US. I first ran across it when I lived in Australia, so I wonder if it's a British term.
Zero-rating has indeed become a big network neutrality controversy.

Forgive my ignorance here, but would this hypothetically include anything licensed under the GPL?
If I recall, a number of studies showed that most people mostly play their portable gaming devices at home. I suspect the portability of the Switch for big games like the Legend of Zelda are largely about accommodating this use case (comfort, extra screens in the home, multitasking).
Ask HN: What math do I need to learn for graphics programming?
This is meant to be as generic as the question sounds. I am venturing into graphics programming, coming from frontend engineering. I've been wading through linear algebra via 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development [1], and I quite enjoy it.

Does anyone have a semi-comprehensive list of math concepts I should learn for low-level graphics? I'm coming from a really sparse math background, as I only took up to Calc 2 in college.

Also, any general recommendations on the best way to learn graphics would be great. I'd say I'm more interested in graphics engines and experimental graphics than I am to actually making games.

Thanks

Since we're talking about licensing: Did the author allow you to publish his works on Github? ;)
Collocation, dedicated servers, even VPS. There's plenty of a middle ground between serving off your home server and AWS, Cloudflare et al.

So going to Gitlab...
I deleted the projects in my userspace.

I still want to maintain a user purely for ownership of presence there. But I certainly won't use it.

I'll move on to things like GitLab or IPFS for transmitting projects I'm working on.
I had a similar idea, but wanted to build it outside of a single news organisation. Basically a news aggregator, but it would detect when different articles are about the same topic and try to tell if the newer article added anything to the story. This aggregation system would then track public interest in a story over time (based on clicks) along with media interest (based on new stories)

I also wanted to add in user, publication and reporter 'leanings' by having a mechanism where users could say that they thought a story was left/right/neutral. The act of voting would count as a push having the affect of slightly moving the publication and reporter in one direction and the voter in another. I would then use an ELO type metric so a user who was very far in one direction wouldn't have the same impact as a user more in the center.
It is more likely that India can be invaded if all goes wrong, but China would easily withstand US military nowadays.

In other words, Chinese negotiate from the position of strength in all regards. And they do want to keep control of their economy and their internal market.
Yes, doctors get very good money here. But google it, most probably your wife will have to pass exams or something to prove her qualification and work here as a doctor.

Can you please list where exactly the Los Angeles location is? The city is a large place. There is no address on the website either.
The games aren't really cheap either. $50 MSRP for something like 1-2 Switch is ridiculous to me.
Even over the summer months? Google is telling me about $1,400 for late March.

United entered the market within the last two years and that does seem to have driven the prices down a bit.

I fly to Auckland or Christchurch at least once a year with a family of 4 so welcome cheaper prices!

cPanel | Site Reliability Engineer | Houston, Texas | http://job.listings.cpanel.net/x/detail/a2ldog9s7k1e

An industry leader in automating other people's web servers is looking for more people to help automate its own web application and software development clusters.

Perl, Ruby, Bash, Puppet, Chef, The Foreman, OpenLDAP, Apache, Nginx, varnish, BIND, Unbound, Route53, Xen, Docker, AWS, OpenStack, Linux (especially RHEL/CentOS and some Ubuntu), PAM, Exim, Postfix, HAProxy, MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres and more technologies are in use. Perl, Bash, Puppet, Ruby, and sometimes other languages are important but don't disqualify yourself for not being an expert in all four. Experience with Ansible, Chef, Salt, Python, C, C++, Java, Common Lisp, Scheme, JavaScript, 389 Directory Server, Rocket, or CoreOS certainly won't hurt and would be considered.

A successful candidate will have experience in development and operations. Must willing to evaluate and propose technical solutions. Be ready to be a technical subject matter expert to multiple development and operations teams, take escalations from systems administrators, review and propose changes to code and infrastructure. This position involves many meetings with other teams. The ToDo board for this position can change quickly.
Houston uses it occasionally. Probably picked it up from all the oil expats in town.
I think rather than having a single URI attribute and other identifiers, you ought to allow multiple URIs, and make all other identifiers just be URIs (since, after all, a URI is a Uniform Resource Identifier, and music files are resources).

You can represent hashes using the named-information URI scheme (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920), e.g. ni:///sha-256;u88lYWn4xAlto-6Bs79KHHYDAu28US71ui5Be6C-ZVw.

Your filepath could be file:///Anciients/Following%20the%20Voice.mp3; your mbtrackid could be musicbrainz:b00a2b97-53f1-485a-9121-1fe76b55e651 (since I don't think an authority makes sense in this case).

This would also permit multiple entries for certain types of identifier, which doesn't make so much sense for hashes (although it's possible for the same recording to have two different MP3 encodings, so … maybe it's not crazy), but would be nice when e.g. a song is found in multiple places in the filesystem, or can be retrieved from multiple locations.
Won't someone think of the white males?
There is imaging but not from a camera in the body (blood is not exactly transparent).

It's a form of x-ray video with a tracer in the blood, so they can observe both the guide and the blood irrigation.

The doctor will use live x-ray pictures to carefully guide the catheter up into your heart and arteries. Dye will be injected into your body to highlight blood flow through the arteries. This helps the doctor see any blockages in the blood vessels that lead to your heart.

A guide wire is moved into and across the blockage. A balloon catheter is pushed over the guide wire and into the blockage. The balloon on the end is blown up (inflated). This opens the blocked vessel and restores proper blood flow to the heart.

> "Most of what kids currently learn at school will probably be irrelevant by the time they are 40."

I can't help but see this whole "robots are taking over" thing as a Republican position which leads to people not valuing public education.

Learning to read and write, do math and science, understand physics and biology, etc, will never be useless. These are core bits of information we have collected over our existence here and should continue to be passed on to as many people as we can.

I find the excitement for UBI concerning. People seem to have already tossed up their hands and said, "well, I'll be useless in the future, I guess I can't work now!".

Meanwhile, Mike Rowe has been saying for years that there are unfulfilled blue collar jobs. Our culture's problem is not that machines will take over or that schools are failing to educate students. It's that we don't find enough value in the contributions that we do make. It's okay to not be a successful tech founder. Everyone is useful in some way or another.
"I'm sure it would be very difficult to hold on to beliefs devoid of reason in that case..."

No offense but I literally laughed out loud when I got to that part. Reminds me of what people said about the internet. Doesn't that comparison lend credence to the notion that greater access to information might often lead to a retreat into comforting echo chambers? That greater ease of communication might often increase the vectors for infection for unreason?
How to fail as a web developer
Yup, we use ZeroMQ for internal routing for this kind of thing. Each instance of our edge server (Pushpin) binds on a SUB socket to receive messages destined for external clients. This makes it possible for internal publishers (using PUB) to route among edge servers using a brokerless mesh.

Really? I poked around and just now registered for an API key. I see no documentation more detailed than "Data is returned in JSON". I'll keep looking.
But there is a difference of orders of magnitude in both size and cohesiveness to wrestle with here

The most non-snarky way I can put this is: "Citation needed".

Something that is a left leaning/liberal phenomenon almost exclusively from my experiences is the propensity for shouting a statement into public, and then claiming that anyone who has the temerity to reply to their tweet with anything other than wholehearted agreement is "harassing them", and then immediately blocking them.

The right leaning/conservative types tend to argue back with you, perhaps using strong language. Conservatives tend to call you an idiot libtard sheep, liberals tend to call you a racist sexist bigot.

(This is one of the benefits of being centrist: both sides don't like you.)

This happens when replying to liberal leaning commenters with such regularity that I have taken to mentally rewriting "harass" to "disagree" in the context of Twitter.

I've been blocked and called a harasser on Twitter for calling shenanigans on a comment in a much more gentle way than I did above. Have I just harassed you? Twitter's community, and increasingly, their management, would say yes.
No, he's saying people by-and-large can't defeat Gmail's spam detection.

The same will likely happen at twitter.

Yes, I meant "statically typed" similar to swift.

>I'm satisfied that commercially reasonable efforts have been made to ensure there wasn't deliberate exploitation of the bug.

How would you classify people using all of the crawled data though? It seems sort of hand-wavy to claim nobody deliberately exploited the bug if they used leaked session tokens in crawled data to get access to user accounts.
Git Flow and GitHub Flow are actually distinct from each other. Here's a blog post about it from Scott Chacon.

Quants have ruled the business landscape for long enough, bring on the Quals.
Yeah, the thing that's probably ultimately going to limit the life of Twitter's latest automated anti-abuse measures is that left-wingers who fire nasty, vitrolic, vulgarity-filled tweets and invitations to kill themselves at users on the right are also getting their accounts automatically put in time out or even suspended for it, and they're getting really pissed off about it. Sooner or later the press is going to get hold of a sufficiently sympathetic example and that'll be it.

The wording of the post seems to be tilted towards limiting Cloudflare's potential liability as opposed to objectively quantifying the impact. For example, the author mentions that the 100th largest website handles less than 10B requests per month - which positions near the median of the table of likelihood anticipated leaks.

I'm not surprised at this approach as the CEO has a background in law. I think that, combined with his hubris, shaped the tone of this post from an objective post mortem to a goal of minimizing the damage to Cloudflare itself.

I met Mr. Prince once at a tech conference. I mentioned that I followed him on Twitter, to which he freaked out a little bit and said "Oh I hate that when I run across people who tell me that". When I heard him tell his name to someone else there, he said his last name was "Prince, like King". I suspect that his attitude is prevalent at Cloudflare, and may have shaped not only the source of this issue, but the response to it as well, since CEO's generally influence the culture.
According the US Census in 2013, 5% of commuters used public transit and nearly 10% carpooled. [1] I know I would enjoy occupying that time with some Zelda!

The state of the art has improved so much that for the older tasks, computers are arguably better than humans at them:
