I checked again rollout.io Disrupt presentation (great pitch btw) and the first question they get (Alexandra Chong) is "is it going to be ok with AppStore policies": https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/22/rollout-io-puts-mobile-dev...

> I'm guessing there are two things Apple is worried about.

I'm sure it worries about them but there's a much larger, riskier scenario.

Once you start downloading and executing binary code from untrusted sources (i.e., not the App Store) anything can go wrong.

1. An iOS app doesn't care about security, and it hot-loads code from some non-https source and gets man-in-the-middle'd
2. An iOS app hot-loads code in a secure manner, but the server from which the code is served becomes cot mpromised
3. A malicious employee at an iOS app vendor pushes harmful code out via her company's app

Now, I'm not a fan of Apple's policies. I think there should be a "guys, I know what I'm doing" mode where I'm allowed to download code from untrusted sources. Just like Android or MacOS.

However, I sympathize with them here. For nearly a decade people have been downloading code from the App Store with the understanding that it is safe to do so. Even I appreciate this much of the time... I'm an engineer but I'm busy. I can't audit every app I download. I wish there were other options, but I find huge value in the fact that I don't have to worry about an App Store app screwing my device. And it's a big reason why I recommend iOS despite its flaws to older family members.
You forgot DevOps. Enter credit card #, acquire +12 DevOps, +33 stamina, +7 Heroku.

There, you just gained an unfair edge against your competition. Amazing? Yes.
NO ONE does it 400X faster...

And the hardware advantage is easily negated. For example, our startup is building something like this.
You are being misleading. Hillary has been investigated nonstop for twenty years, and their are entire nonprofits (Judiciary Watch) funded by the right to dig up dirt on her and her family.

So instead I think the opposite is true- the fact she hasn't had major (true) scandals (Benghazi and emails we know are trumped up) means she is fairly clean. Yes, she has some flaws.

It is unbelievable to me that Mike Pence was using his own private email to conduct state business _while_ decrying Hillary. How hypocritical is it possible to be?

And re dirt on Hillary, this puts it into perspective. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/12/25/14037576/t...

Key point here! Wikileaks can leak what people give them. I've seen no evidence that they've hacked anything.
Currently struggling as a father of three (12, 10,7) with how to up my game as a developer. At the evening, when I get home, I'm just dead tired. I get no further than eat diner, watch a documentary, read a little and sleep. Repeat.
Weekends are filled with chores and quality time with kids.
All this leaves me without the energy or drive to learn something new, while time flies by.
So I'm gonna read all the comments now, see what I can pick up. But it won't be easy.
Google Sometimes Highlights Misinformation in Search Results
Travis CI themselves offer a workaround for their own timeout in the form of travis_wait. This seems to be a slightly different alternative workaround that better meets the authors' needs.
I don't see why your examples don't fit the given explanation? Based on what you said, I think you actually agree with his point of view and just misinterpreted it?

His point is that games are NOT means to an end, they are things where the whole point IS to interact with them (Minecraft creative mode is a perfect example of this).

To put it another way: The ideal way to make a powerpoint presentation would be to think of it and have it instantly materialize. On the other hand, what's the ideal implementation of GTA? As much as we say that the point of the game is to "beat it", if we just showed you the victory screen, then it would ruin it.

The same goes for Dwarf Fortress, Human Resource Machine, CS:GO, etc. If you just jump straight to the end result, you miss the entire point: the interaction itself.
I'd love to see more women in leadership, especially in software companies. I think lack of role models is a huge factor in why the percentage of women in tech is so low.

Starting 2011,I used to go to Bangalore once a year. The number of trees cut down, the number of new cars on the road, and the terrific traffic all boggled my mind. Car after car of software engineers, probably perfectly pleasant to work with, would just lay on the horns despite knowing perfectly well that the first car was stopped at a red light. If I ever go back to India, Bangalore is the first city that's off my list of places to live in.

To me, hustle is simply energy/urgency even when nobody is looking. It doesn't have to have a negative connotation.
I think the parent was stating that it'd be neat (if possible) if Penny detected your location and flagged you with an geolocated alert at that point. Like a giant "really?! Target again?! You just spent $20 here yesterday!" (If it already does that or if I'm misinterpreting, please forgive!)
From the outside it doesn't look like it. That's all I'm saying - Chrome is pulling way ahead to the point I have to use it on all but my most powerful machines.

There is now some data showing one way CNN is biased --Breitbart and Fox News seed the media environment with disinformation, and eventually mainstream outlets pick up that disinformation. (Torture is a good example - the right really wanted to bury discussion and largely did).

http://www.cjr.org/analysis/breitbart-media-trump-harvard-st...

Another way to say this: only one side is willing to blatantly lie. Luckily media outlets are starting to realize that and moving to coverage of the truth not just what people say.
WordPress.com now supports collaborative editing through Google Docs
To most people their work is just work they go there and do what they need to do to support their family and I think those that aren't directly working to support iniquity can be forgiven for not considering whether their companies culture is negative.

The fact that you can't separate their work ethic and value as employees from your judgment of the company as a whole is an analytical failure. These are distinct things.
Right. But seeing retreating glaciers after being told why they are retreating is still relying on something you were told.

As long as we are being "told" we can change the channel and choose our preachers. There is nothing that can stop anyone from doing so in a "free" country.

The point is, normal people have no way of knowing about most things anyway, that it isn't just fake news that is fake, it's that news as we know it is unreal. That's why they need that story of a cute cat or a new study on coffee at the end.

The battle against fake news isn't the hard part. It's the battle to legitimize their own that is turning out to be an uphill battle. And when you know you go for the cookie jar once in a while, it becomes even harder.
They control the software and the hardware though: seems possible to allow a specific region of memory (aka their public API) to call a specific region of memory (private API) and segfault for all the rest that does that?

Meet Intuz at CeBIT 2017 and Enabling Technology, Together
This should be marked as an opinion piece. I struggle to find the data to back this article. Even the recruiting agency interviewed for the article gave a wishy washy answer.

It may be unfair to make a "black mark" on every journalist at The Guardian, but after the false "WhatsApp considered harmful" stories, I am unable to take anything they print at face value. Response by moxie: https://whispersystems.org/blog/there-is-no-whatsapp-backdoo...
I appreciate the sentiment here, but for a lot of people I suspect it wouldn't actually be ok to stop learning outside of work. I know there's a lot of pushback on this idea for very good reasons, but if you have a job and want a different one, sometimes evenings and weekends are the times you need to teach yourself the skills you need.

I also want to push back a little bit on the idea that "programming couldn't bring me any of the happiness that being with my children could." I see what you mean—that you enjoy time with your kids more than time with code. However, I can't help thinking that programming enables that free time. It's because of the programming that you can be with your children instead of working a second job to make ends meet. That's why "skilling up" is so vital. If you're already skilled enough to get the jobs you want, then yeah, maybe you're all set.
Do you mean this ?

Somewhat off topic, but this reminded me of one of my favorite HN submissions:

Ask HN: What Node.js web framework do you use?
I am looking to build a new web app using Node.js. The idea is to acquaint myself with some new technologies like ES6 and React.

I have dabbled with Express a long time ago, but I can see that there are now a few more alternatives like Sails, Loopback, Hapi etc.

I was wondering what is the preferred framework for building a small-ish project in Node.
Google AMP is rolling out for 1B people in Asia Pacific
It could well be the Gold Coast, too, which has just finished its light rail in preparation for the Commonwealth Games next year.
The most important reason this seems to happen only in India is that the victims are not in India. So they have to go through their local government and multiple slow processes for the case to be resolved.

The unfortunate fact is the prevailing exchange rate difference makes even relatively ordinary western citizens' assets, worth stealing for criminals based here. Also I imagine, such people when defrauded are not in a position to force their authorities to go after criminals not in the same jurisdiction.

Or maybe you are suggesting that people from UK are so inherently good that they don't cheat each other at all.
They have consistently acted outside rule of law, helping to commit many egregious acts of human rights abuse. So, yeah, I'm not too pleased with them.
My guess is that this has always been Asia/Developing markets play. That's is where you find a lot of low powered devices.
He hiding from the United States in Ecuadorian Embassy for many years. No surprise he is biased against US.

I have a 7 year old step daughter. I make heavy use of a calendar and set aside blocks of time during the week for focused study. I make sure that I don't schedule myself for anything involving deep concentration when my kid is home and awake. You are just asking for frustration because kids _will_ interrupt your flow and you _will_ be a jerk about it. Don't be that parent. A calendar makes it clear where the gaps in your day are to focus on improving your skill set. Trust me, you have a lot more time than you think you do.

Having a kid doesn't mean you never have any time for personal enhancement like study or exercise. It just means that you have to be more structured and focused. It takes a lot of trial and error to find a good balance.
I travel a lot for work and LA/OC is consistently the only city where I bother to get a rental car. Most places I'd want to go are far away from each other and public transit is often stigmatized and underdeveloped. I went to high school in orange county and the public bus took about an hour and a half to go about 10 miles.
I live in San Francisco and gave my car to my family after a year or so of rarely driving it. Two years later and I can't really justify purchasing another.

I agree, the semantics required to define the build in GCCB seems really limiting, going to stick to Drone until this matures a bit. The plugin ability of Drone really outshines the current as well.

This is a _fantastic_ blog for camera/lens nerds. Highly recommend, very happy to see Roger Cicala get some love here. It's like my nerd-planets aligning, HN and Lens Rentals.

If you read through the Lens Rentals archive, you'll find the absolute best (bar none) public discussion of lens build quality, imaging optics, and generally user-friendly discussion of very technical-but-practical optics issues. And it gets technical enough that there's no fluff.

Also, you'll also get the kind of war stories you only get when you see thousands of copies of lenses, abused in ways your imagination thankfully can't grasp. Required reading if you're an optics nerd. Or if optics is one flavor of your nerd (for me, it is).

I've used their service in the past, though only briefly (I think I've given Roger less than $1k total). I come for the blog and MTF charts, mostly.
New PiCluster v1.6 Lets you move containers to different hosts
Most people on HN spend 8 hours or more a day writing code, myself included. I enjoy programming, but there's things I'd rather be doing with my time after I've clocked out most days.

Being with my daughter is probably one of the reasons I love my job, I get to work from home and my wife and daughter stay at home with me so I get to hang out with them on break/lunch, and there's no time lost with them on a commute. I don't work for the sake of work, but so that I can enjoy the other ~67 hours a week I'm awake with my family.

The reason certain minorities are protected is in part because the reason for discrimination is because of race, gender, or other attributes they were born with and cannot change.

The choice of where to work is just that--a choice. Choices have consequences. If you willingly accept continued association with a known group of bad actors, it's reasonable that someone might judge your character poorly for that choice.

I agree now that what Eric Elliot is doing is not composition. But it's not inheritance as it is commonly known either. If I inherit from a prototype, then inherited objects can use the prototype methods via prototype delegation. If I change a method in the prototype, inherited objects will see that change. Which is similar to class based inheritance, but can happen at run time. That will not happen with Object.assign because it is cloning or copying. If I make a change to a prototype I cloned from, the cloned object will not be changed. This is also known as concatenative prototyping. Yes, it's considered a type of inheritance, but I think different enough from prototype delegation and class inheritance that it should be pointed out when claiming it is inheritance. Because copying feels closer to composition than than it does to OO inheritance or prototype delegation IMO. Composition still wins though. Good discussion.

"By absolutely no one ever. :)" Actually, quite often. A few examples below:

Are you sure? Because to me it looks that first call should return a canvas, and all consecutive calls operate on it.
You can't make a conclusion from that. Any large software org is going to have similar type things.
Omni-channel retail technology: Is this the future of buying goods in India?
No, this is not true.

We now have data showing that the left tends to read both mainstream and left sources. While the right tends to live in their own little Fox-Breitbart bubble. This means that the right gets news from extremely biased sources with no anchor in reality. While the left tends to read and share a wider variety of media.
http://www.cjr.org/analysis/breitbart-media-trump-harvard-st...

It's also been shown that the right is more likely than the left to distrust the fact-bearing mainstream media [1], because a strategy of the right, as in some authoritarian countries, is to generate distrust in media that they do not control.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/04/opinion/sunday/why-nobody...

So no, both sides do NOT do it equally. The right does way more to taint real sources like the NYT as biased.

[1] within mainstream I'd tend to separate profit-seeking and independent/family-owned media. But you can lump them together for purposes of contrast with GOP-donor-funded conservative media.
Rolls Royce publish an excellent book "The Jet Engine" with a great deal of information about the design and manufacture of jet engines. I purchased the latest print edition and it's well worth it.

Those challenges are real and a new version cannot be just a clone of dmoz.

The unstated assumption about voting power is that all persons of a particular minority group are the same and have the same voting power. That's absolutely false unless you assume all people of that minority group vote the same. A black person in California has different voting power than one in South Dakota. The important indicator of voting power is not race, but location.
Re: Imagine a loved one being held as leverage to force you to kill someone. You could beg/plead/bargain to avoid it, but if the only email that's published is the one that says "it's done. he's dead" that strips away a significant bit of context.

I don't understand your example - murder coerced by blackmail is still murder. I imagine if this email was actually released to the public and people found out I was a murderer, when the police arrived I would show any documentation of the threat or call attention to the fact that my missing relative was being held. Society would be better off knowing I was a murderer and that I claimed to be coerced because then the perpetrators would at least have a harder time reusing the same tactic.

If that murder evidence email was released and discussed online, it'd be weird to see it be disqualified in discussion, despite being believed to be true, because of a belief that there might be a second email which compelled the execution of the murder. It would be fine for someone to show this second email as part of a defense, but again this example is kind of tricky because being compelled to murder under the threat of murder doesn't justify murder.
They will likely drop the clock. I don't think the market cares at all about how much a CPU takes. If a 1U box has competitive performance AND better performance/watt then it's attractive. It if has worse performance/watt than it's not.

AMD might well steal some of the dual socket market with a dual socket, and maybe some of the quad socket market with dual sockets.

Considering that the current ryzen at $500 is relatively competitive with the $1,000 intel (basically a relabled Xeon with 4 memory busses in the LGA2011 server socket) a quad module (32 core/64 thread) in a socket sounds pretty good. Even if it's more watts than the intel.
AgentJayZ is a great resource and very entertaining.
Understandable, but there is a deeper problem of course - the app store model is broken for apps that need hotfix capabilities (aka enterprise).

We've been meeting with Apple on this topic for years and continue to sideload our app as we need to meet SLAs with our customers. They sign the binaries with their dev certificates, which violates Apple's guidelines too.

But, alas, once you have critical mass in a vertical even mighty Apple gets cold feet about shutting your customers down.

Why Apple is not able to offer a separate way for certified and audited dev shops to hotfix their iOS apps is beyond me. SAP, MS, IBM - a shitload of big shops would love to pay for this privilege.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Kaggle. I was motivated to get into the software industry 5 years ago when they ran their first Facebook hiring challenge. How else to break into an industry I had no degree in?

I didn't do so well in the competition but it got me coding every day and it gave me enough to talk about that I figured I could sell all my things and ride a motorcycle to California and start knocking on doors. It worked, after a fashion.

I also have a soft spot in my heart for Kaggle because I interviewed there during my first month in San Francisco and it was absolutely the worst interview of my life.
Most linters would have suggested correcting it to:

validated_items = [_ for _ in items if is_validated(x)]

where _ is used as a safe variable that can always be clobbered. (Though this does also clash with its use as a gettext function for strings).
Assange is hiding from the government of the United Kingdom, which has agreed to extradite him to Sweden, where he faces trial for rape.
As a user/consumer, I like this. It reduces potentially unpleasant "surprises."

Apple have curbed a lot of obnoxious developer practices (and enforced good ones, like the move to 64-bit not long ago) and they, along with Microsoft, probably the only ones with enough muscle to be able to do that.
