VPNs are also much more expensive to maintain (good VPN hardware isn't cheap), introduce much more network latency and are another thing for help desk personnel to have to support (read: spend money supporting).

oy vey. When you give law enforcement a gun and taser, you expect them to use it appropriately. Your question begs the question that their action was reasonable in light of the "rude" behaviour.

There is no situation where it's okay for LE to shoot or tase someone because of non-threatening words.
Perhaps it's because they're item numbers, not indexes? As far as I can tell, C# uses 0-based indexing because most similar languages use 0-based indexing.
Glide lets you pin dependencies to specific commits (the "version" key takes a semver version constraint, a branch name or a commit hash), and transitive dependencies will be pinned via the lockfile, so it works even if the implicitly included dependencies don't use versioning.

The main problem with Glide is that it's buggy. It also lacks some important features. You still can't do "glide update" on a single dependency, for example. It's all or nothing.
We stand behind all of our candidates and will replace them if for any reason they do not work out.

This sounds hilarious if you try reading it from the candidate's perspective. Imagine them sending the translated version to the candidate:

"We will replace you if for whatever reason the company doesn't like you"
I wouldn't just yet. The platforms that you can reach with Scala, including JS, and soon LLVM, plus all the goodies that are being developed in Dotty, are pretty compelling for me to stay. Scala keeps getting better and better. It is very exciting to see that other languages, like C#, also keep adding excellent features.
As far as I know, no company uses Triplebyte exclusively. It just provides a backdoor to onsite interviews with several companies (which was really useful for me cause coming from a non-traditional background I wasn't getting any callbacks from my direct applications to selective companies). There isn't really any downside to giving Triplebyte a go, aside from a few hours of your time.
EDIT: 'get' should have been 'gut'.
> It's "tenacity", but I can't imagine conversing with autoresponders is very effective.

Particularly at the bottom end recruitment can be a scummy industry (just like anywhere that's sales and commission led, I suppose).

Back when I worked at a ~100 person company as a hiring manager I had recruiters pull all kinds of crazy. Recruiters submitting fake resumes to find out what positions are open, waiting for me outside the office to shove resumes into my hands, get genuine resumes from candidates not working with them, send them to me, and then claim to represent them...and that's before you get onto the black market for leads and the like.
Thank you, sama, for doing this.
Unfortunately, you're still not allowed to use Google Cloud Platform for personal usage if you're based in Europe.

Several years ago they emailed (presumably) everyone without a tax number in their account, saying so:
https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6090602

Trying to add a billing account just now from a European country doesn't give the choice of account type; it's fixed to "business" and can't be edited.

So without a billing account, it seems nobody in Europe can use the free tier for personal use.

I don't have to speculate about Germany because it's already happening there:

I'm quite familiar with the history of modern Japan and the US' role in establishing its prominence. It's what I studied as an undergrad, actually. And yes, the strength of their economies and technical standing, derived from this historical support, are precisely what put them in a good position to achieve this aim. It has allowed them to advance manufacturing technology to a far greater degree than the US, who let all of their expertise wither with offshoring (in part to assure alliances with client states). As such, Japan has a large, skilled manufacturing sector base that can tackle this undertaking. In addition, their resource constraints have created similar expertise in advancing energy efficiency and maintaining modern grid infrastructure, both key to making renewables successful.

Japan was largely shunted down the path of nuclear energy because of US intervention in their energy sector. Now that enthusiasm for nuclear energy has largely cooled in the US, both because of its expense and a renewed emphasis on fossil fuels, Japan has greater freedom than ever to transition to renewables. They don't have fossil fuels and nuclear energy is more widely unpopular than it has ever been in the wake of Fukushima.

As for the labor market, there a large issues with structural unemployment among young people which this transition could help address. And regardless, the Japanese government is more directly interventionist in their economy, such that were this change affected, big businesses would follow suit. The line between TEPCO and the Japanese government is already as blurry as blurry can be.
Presumably someone who's not PC could use allegory to get away with being un-PC.

Think of Joss Whedon's Firefly, in which the Alliance is a thinly-veiled allegory for the triumphant Union shortly after it destroyed the Confederate States.
I agree we can build plumbing complex enough that it can convince anyone, including itself, that it is self-aware.

We can philosophise about whether that's true consciousness. But that's the same directionless thought experiment as questioning whether anyone besides yourself truly exists.
It is irrelevant. You are right.
I think they're still working on that:

> Device and information insecurity, overzealous surveillance by governments — these are real concerns that call for real attention.

I'm looking forward to The NY Time's Zeynep Tufekci's real discussion about Operating Systems that spy on us, collect our data and share that data; tracking across the internet; lack of security updates on phones; a tie-in with PRISM (allowing the NSA unfettered access to company databases) and anything else her top-notch "security researchers" turn up.

Maybe she can add a few words about the lack of oversight, transparency and accountability our tech & phone companies enjoy for the privilege of cooperating with certain government agencies. Let's get your "sources" to add a few words about backroom deals that circumvent The Constitution and the laws of this land too. It's a big topic with many players.

Be careful though, Mrs Tufekci. This kind of real news will get you into hot water with your masters.

I'm sure she'll get to it after another hit-piece on Wikileaks for actually bringing this discussion to the table instead of trying to kill it. That is, once she gets over her political biases (which are sprinkled throughout the article) and does some real journalism.

Security and Privacy are issues that need "real attention" and not something that gets tacked on at the end of an article and forgotten.

Tracking shouldn't affect performance numbers much. The main problems Instagram seems to have is a) they don't server rendered HTML (so nothing shows until the client JavaScript is ready) and b) they don't use a service worker so the repeat visit scores aren't as good.
It's not about whether feminine or masculine are positive or negative traits. They are labels that are being misapplied, and in this case not relevant. They do imply bias on behalf of the user, especially in a discussion oriented around male/female roles.

Better to use the terms provided, 'low confidence individuals', etc.

That and Snapchat is just _fun_, in a way that Facebook with its serious Pharmaceutical blue logo isn't, despite Facebook's sleekness and clean UI. Everything from the filters, to the little badges you get for streaks and best friends, to the moving selfie picture in the little ghost, adds to the effect.

Maybe Snap will stick around and maybe it won't but I've already found myself reaching for snap to send an image of a restaurant instead of typing it, or sending a reaction selfie instead of an emoji because its so much easier than typing.
It has to due with history. Traditionally, other languages (such as Scala, Haskell and ML) with statically typed tuples start at index 1 instead of 0.

Sure. Some recruiters are great. But third party recruitment is a sales led industry. You're under constant pressure to close the deal and make the sale. Salespeople do not always behave honestly or ethically.

I have worked with some great third party recruiters who sourced me good candidates. But I also have come across a large number of, for want of a better word, scumbags and hustlers.
It sounds like your ability as an interviewer is pretty poor. There are several examples of the same smug behavior. What sort of training have you gone through to ensure that you're actually an appropriate and qualified person to be interviewing?
I've starred the FB's fastText on Github. This was enough to start getting emails from recruiters looking for AI developers in my area.

Sigh...
>Using automated tools to search the whole database, as security researchers subsequently did, turned up no hits.

This sounds so serious and involved, but probably took 10 seconds and just involved ctrl-f or (even) grep.
Well that's not necessarily true. From one of your other submissions, you stated "...I am very bad at interviewing..."

So the problem seems more of, "Hiring Mangers think I'm unqualified" rather than "There aren't enough jobs for qualified developers"

Hiring an unqualified developer is MUCH worse than not hiring a developer at all. It's wasted time and money for the company. I've been on both sides of the table so if you want some feedback on your resume/interviewing skills feel free to shoot me an email.
The ideal is that people genuinely are knocking on your door with a nice job for you.

The reality is that most are just in it for commissions - which in some cases comes out of the salary you're promised - and you get thrown into a job where the company cared too little to actually look for quality candidates.

The tenacity of blog posts about tech recruiters

Dear hackernews/reddit/socialmediathatsslightlyoffthemainstreamsoicanappearedgybutstillconnectwithmytargetdemographic

My name is Person McPerson. Here in MajorTechHubCity where there's so many work opportunities, i get so many work opportunities that it actually annoys me so much that I'll spend all of 30 seconds to write a blog post about getting so many work opportunity emails. Once, I was offered a job in a programming language that hasn't been mainstream for at least 4 months! That language was ruby for all those interested. Ruby! Don't make me spit out my own coffee in indignation. I obviously tracked down the person that wrote the email and gave them whatfor. Well, actually I just pressed the "I don't know this person" button.

It's a difficult life, and i hope you empathize with my plight. It really is, as the beatles put it, a hard day's night answering all these linkedin messages. I don't actually answer them though. That's for suckers. You're not some kind of ruby using sucker are you?

Sincerely yours,
Person McPerson.

Unless you modify the hardware, of course.

Considering Google has teams designing custom PCBs and even ICs, there's a non-insignificant amount of Google devs who could easily circumvent this entire system.
That's a good idea, subscribed!

I'll give it a chance as-is but I wonder if weekly emails would be a nice option for some people.
Probably less, as it would go sideways rather than tip.

In fact, lifting the keel/centreboard can be a good technique for manoeuvring towards a peer; often you have to keep the bow pointing a certain direction, but want to move a little sideways.
And they are still being called a startup...
Been learning C# as I learn Unity/game development and I'm really excited to see local functions, tuples and destructuring coming in 7.0.
That is what I meant, there is an existing algorithm to do this because the author tried to come up with one. That JavaScript fails to provide an implementation, well, too bad, but this is of course a problem one may have to solve in any language.

And while other languages provide the necessary support at the language or standard library level, I would guess there are quite a few developers out there that are not even aware that they are looking for enumerating grapheme clusters. But now some more know and if they made a good language choice, it is now a solved problem for them.

Looks like you are paying for support - are you on the Platinum or Gold support level?

What makes you think that legislative bodies are capable of catching up?
I find it challenging to figure out how to do productized consulting as a developer other than the ol' 'I make you an entire MVP for X dollars'.

It's probably because the deliverable is hard to narrow down. Whenever I see examples of productized service businesses, it's something that provides relief for an on-going pain or has a clear deliverable.

Examples of the former: A/B testing, App After Care, Dan Norris' Wordpress support, FB / Google Ad management

Examples of the latter: Design a thing and deliver it to you, Write a blog post/do content, SEO.

Anybody have any luck approaching doing a productized service as a developer?

I think I'm approaching it wrong. I think what it should look like is that you have a 'product' or set of components built and you do a little bit of customization for each client and deliver it.
Yes, it leads to lots of bad procedural code. If you need multiple data items returned from something, they are clearly related and belong in an object. Well written code doesn't use out parameters at all, they are a bad feature and should be removed from the language.
Please watch this, it is not only funny but clear and real picture of Canadian healthcare.

I agree. I can't wait to see what people do with Cloud OCR.
They also gave out free voicemail for the same reason, no?
My favorite recruiting emails are the ones where their name-replace code broke and left in {{first_name}} or something similar.

Ah, yes, I must be the perfect fit for your role!
Why do people think that Emacs is impossible for non-programmers to use?

"He wrote a version of Emacs in Multics MacLisp, and he wrote his commands in MacLisp in a straightforward fashion. The editor itself was written entirely in Lisp. Multics Emacs proved to be a great success — programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program."

"Shel wrote Mailman in Lisp. Emacs-Lisp… Mailman was the Customer Service customer-email processing application for … four, five years? A long time, anyway. It was written in Emacs. Everyone loved it.

People still love it. To this very day, I still have to listen to long stories from our non-technical folks about how much they miss Mailman. I'm not shitting you. Last Christmas I was at an Amazon party, some party I have no idea how I got invited to, filled with business people, all of them much prettier and more charming than me and the folks I work with here in the Furnace, the Boiler Room of Amazon. Four young women found out I was in Customer Service, cornered me, and talked for fifteen minutes about how much they missed Mailman and Emacs, and how Arizona (the JSP replacement we'd spent years developing) still just wasn't doing it for them."

There are. Look up "ring species" where the intermediates are geographically separated, rather than chronologically.
I never said anything about anarchism, fascism, communism, etc. The fact that in the real world, "Libertarianism" inevitably covers for, or becomes of them is more to the point than the notion that it is one of them. If you feel differently, feel free to do more than be angry and insulting.
With the tech job market right now, most tech workers can find jobs that pay the bills easily, so they'll tend to raise their level of discrimination a little. So they look for the one that pays a little more, is working with some neat technology, and basically works with their schedule (Or whichever other list of nice-to-haves).

When you can afford to be picky, "high quality" takes on a different meaning.
That should really be clarified on the pricing page because I think many people misunderstood that
If you need both citus + pipelinedb then memsql.com will solve your problem with a much more polished solution. MySQL dialect instead of PostgreSQL but that's rarely a problem for a data warehouse.
That sounds like the Pareto-optimal solution to a job interview. It's like how you're not doing grad school properly if your grades are better than C.

Also, candidates who do too well could be too good for the job, since Google supposedly likes having incredibly overqualified people maintain do-nothing internal apps.
Will check them out, thanks!

>In practice, that would be a world without cars and computers.

I'd gladly trade my computer and phone for a world without private property.

Maybe if what you built actually contibuted to your community, the community would protect your contributions.

>And I can't get a loan on it, either. This matters.

There is no money to loan to anyone without private property. I don't think this matters in a state of nature.

>So your position makes a nice soundbite, but it doesn't actually work very well in the real world.

This "real world" you speak of isn't working either. Climate change, arguably the worst unintended consequence of private property, is going to end our civilization in the next century. I only say it's the worst, since slavery only really effects humans, climate change impacts all species, not just one race.

Too bad it's our children and grandchildren that are the ones that will realize how selfish we are being.

Full stack developer with 5 years of experience in JavaScript and Ruby

Hi! I have a long history with Ruby and Rails but for the past two years my projects have focused on JS, and specifically on the bleeding edge of React. That said, there have been a breadth of projects in React, from very real time socket powered apps, to CMS apps that benefit from increased interactivity, to native-like graphics and geometry apps.

I have some availability at the moment and am happy to talk to you about your project. Even if we don't end up having a business transaction, I'm happy to chat and talk about the technology behind your business and what works and what might work better.

I also have a background in finance and accounting, so if you have an app that deals with money, I think I can add extra value there.

JS Experience: Node, React, Redux, Express, Socket.IO, Immutable, Reselect, Jest
Ruby Experience: Rails, Sinatra, Sidekiq, Rspec

What I love in C# is, each update the language gets even faster, far more natural to write. Soo different of Javascript, where looks you are fighting against the language first, and then if you win, can develop something useful. I use js why I need use it, but I hope use c# instead, high hopes with webassembly, etc
We use memsql, if you're using citus + pipelinedb then memsql will likely solve your problem with a single better solution. Not open-source and uses mysql dialect instead of postgresql but definitely highly recommended.
"What we find in Western societies is that even if you’re the owner of your own apartment, there’s still an understanding of community ownership. It wouldn’t be possible just to demolish these buildings and replace them today."

Pretty frustrating sentiment. This is why we have a housing crisis in the bay area, NIMBYism.
This is my opinion as well. If it doesn't eliminate the onsite interviews at target companies, then there's no point using them whatsoever.
Doesn't this depend on how worried you are about brute force and shoulder surfing? I am pretty sure in 99.9% of the time that someone is trying to access my phone for nefarious purposes is going to be someone who stole my phone when I left it somewhere. I have no reason to worry about an advanced attacker.

In this case, why would I make the trade off of convenience for security? I have to do 3 times the work to try to defend against an insanely rare attack.
I've first read about it on a more mathematically and scientifically inclined tuners page. It also described the effect that slightly untuned strings on the same pitch create a semi-chaotic effect which allows us to hear the tone for a longer amount of time, while raising the perceived loudness (caused by a very strong initial decay and a long linear decay).

There is a good explanation on Piano Acoustics linked from the wikipedia page you posted [1]

I think if Instagram Stories really does prove to be the death knell of Snapchat, it won't be because of Snapchat being inherently flawed, but because of the fickle tastes of the public swinging the pendulum of spontaneity vs. curation back towards the latter part of the spectrum.
