It would be great if Microsoft would open up a bit about what their plans are for this service, to the extent that it could be something I can rely on in a commercial context.
I thought about that also. My conclusion: 1) Not political (or really controversial at all), 2) Meme is newish so not over done yet, 3) who doesn't like star wars? 4) Everyone on the sub knew right away what they wanted to post, so there was no lag time between designing a "logo" and rallying the troops.

I'm still impressed all things considered.

How do you determine how many developers to hire?
Those devices already can’t play DRM content. Or use Android Pay. Or use Snapchat.

Many apps, and especially all with DRM content, require a fully signed boot, and if the user at any point even can see what any app is doing, or MitM anything, will refuse to work.

Google has published a solution for this which uses TrustZone to create a hash of the system, transmit this to the Google servers, and Google then verifies the hash, and transmits a token to the servers of the app willing to play DRM content.

Rooting, or even unlocking your bootloader, already makes your phone useless today by design. Which makes the work of projects like Replicant harder.
My go-to question is: "What technical problems are you solving right now?"

Usually you get good information that you can deduce a lot from. It's simple, it's polite, it's opens a whole conversation about whatever you want to about next, etc.

> My meetup dedicated to showing off old hardware is not political.

Can you be absolutely sure? How do you decide who shows and tells today? Who is the meetup "leader", and how did they get that position? What do you do about that old software meetup that always meets across the hall from you at the same time and steals your donuts and coffee? Almost anything groups of people do entails politics, without necessarily even going to the obvious case of forcible taxes.

Besides we were talking about staking out pixels on a limited canvas, which is a zero sum game, involves other groups and the need to consolidate efforts, a decidedly political affair.

Nothing can beat how motorsport looked backed in the '80s - early '90s. There was the B Group rally class, which has since grown into a myth among racing enthusiasts, there were the really interesting Le Mans prototypes of the late '80s - early '90s (the Mazda 787B is still considered by many as the car having the best engine sound ever), the Dakar race was still an adventure in itself with really intense competition and wonderful cars.

And there was also the greatest pilot that I've ever seen driving (I'm 36 now), Ayrton Senna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BoukLE8V7M , you can see that back then drivers had to take their hand off the wheel while negotiation a curb at 280+ kph in order to change gears (and he was adjusting his visor at 300 kph). And the sound, the sound is irreplaceable.

Later edit: I forgot to mention DTM. Found this YT video 2-3 months ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-AxiVqihM&) which I now listen/re-watch every week or so. Almost all the cars in that video are now car enthusiast classics. If I ever were to become a millionaire I'd buy a 190E 2.5-16 EVO2 in a second.

When I lived in Ethiopia (Haile Selassie was still emperor so it's been a while) there were many nights of the year where the starlight was bright enough you could walk around without a flashlight. Nights with a full moon almost felt like daylight. You could see stars at the horizon.
Consumers have no clue how the cell phone ecosystem works in the first place let alone that they would be able to put a value on the security of their devices. They are going on the assumption that the manufacturers/carriers would not sell a product that is defective. Manufacturers make enough profit as it is to update their devices for the expected service life of the devices. They're just not willing to go the distance.

Industries that do not self regulate tend to find that they will then be regulated by the authorities.

The phone companies used to be so anal about this that they would ban 'unlicensed' hardware from their networks to the point that you could only use their overpriced hardware. Now that has changed to the point where they will push whatever junk gives them the biggest margins at the moment of sign-up and never mind the long view.

Yet another example of a place where strict software liability would be a great thing to have.
That's the most straightforward and simple way, but it might not be the fastest due to the way caches work - look up the old Apple BlockMove() function for an example

Israels economy is too small to justify an AWS region (yet).

To find out where the next AWS regions are going, go to wikipedia and sort countries by GDP, any large country without a region is a target. Obviously there is some massaging happening, like AWS is considering all the nordic countries near Sweden.

Another thing would be if AWS started building smaller regions with only 1 DC. Right now a region requires at least 3 DCs with the AZ model... so that's a lot of capacity to fill.

kotlin can replace java completely because it compiles to bytecode (as java does). And then it is the bytecode what is compiled/interpreted in the JVM.

The tech preview is about kotlin compiling directly to machine code. They already said they haven't done any optimization into that code. I guess they use some intermediate language for the compiler to translate it to machine code. (note that all the compilers translate the original input file into this intermediate language before compiling it to the final code, so they can do a lot of optimization and checks in this code which are shared among all languages)

SFUSD has a large number of very high performing public schools, though there are also still a lot of middling and severely underperforming schools.

Test scores aren't everything, but I don't think it's accurate to say SF has bad schools. I'd say it's more of a a mixed bag.

That's the case for the suburbs as well, the difference is that you can convert a high mortgage payment into priority access to a 9 or 10 in the burbs, whereas in SF, there's a much greater element of randomness to it.

Your story reminds me a current scenario @peckrob ..

For Android Application development, we used to connect devices to computer via usb and would see the device's log in logcat tool (Android Studio). The device, in general, spawns lots of logcat messages during a debugging session and would eats up CPU.

The case is still worse that the tool stucks when device is connected over wifi (wifi-adb) as the data transfer is little lower in wifi than usb.

I don't mind the hamburger menu because at least there's a consistent UI that tells me where I can click to find stuff.

Otherwise agree, undiscoverable hidden UIs must die, and so must these flat UIs (which are equivalent to undiscoverable ones). Underlined blue words are good too.

Worst ui trend ever. I eagerly await a return to the 1980s. Which is not nostalgia, because I didn't use computers then — I'm too young and my family was too poor despite being early adopters of at home computers.
They're certainly not skyscrapers, but that's what has happened with the lower floors of buildings in Venice, as they sink into the muck.

Geographically, Silicon Valley is about an hour south of San Francisco proper on highways, depending on traffic. The concentration of tech startups there was seeded by Stanford University (in Palo Alto), and by a lot of defense contractors who had facilities in the area. Many workers commuted from San Francisco because they preferred to live in the city (most of the Valley is very bland suburbia); companies started actually locating in the city maybe ten or fifteen years ago.
This looks a lot like the screen savers that are currently running in Apple stores. I tried to extract it at some point because it looked great but couldn't find the file on the machines there.
I think I communicated that poorly. I only need to use win 7 every 3 months when I change my domain password. I don't need a 4k monitor for that, so I go without.

On Ubuntu the monitor needed much finagling to get working right, unlike my AOC or Asus 4k monitors which both worked when hotplugged using HDMI.

My coworkers, who aren't all devs, have more work to do in windows and they needed the special software.

GIF came after patenting of LZW I think in 1985, making it on to the internet in ~1987.

PCX, BMP (1985?) or TIFF (1986?) maybe? PBM and PGM I think are slightly earlier but I can't readily find dates for them.
This is something I've been giving some thought to recently. I came to the conclusion that the best way to go currently is git-clean filters built using jq. It's still a bit hacky though. Gentle write-up here: http://timstaley.co.uk/posts/making-git-and-jupyter-notebook...
Ha. One of my first startups I worked in was basically a warehouse and the only washroom was just walled off in a big open area. You could hear everyone using it and smells drifted into the main area. It was a non-zero factor in me getting out of there.
The "solograms" were an amazing addition to the movie. My friend and I both commented on them walking out of the theater.

The visuals in the film we're really well done, in my opinion. In fact, I really enjoyed the movie as a great throwback to coming of age on cyberpunk material such as Snowcrash, Neuromancer, Ghost in the Shell, et al., whitewashing politics be damned.
Dark design will become much darker once we start designing for emotions with more intention. Emotionally manipulative UX will spread.

The Economist has a reputation for being a little parental with India, from what I know. Though this article sounds like pure speculation, they do come off a little colonial at times.
This just gets me thinking.

Optimizing for originality seems the wrong criteria as an interviewee if you are genuinely trying to feel out the company and what working there might be like.

As an interviewer don't you think it's more telling to see how an interviewer responds to the answers you give? I mean, asking a prepared question is kind of low effort regardless, but using a question to initiate discussion, that shows real engagement.

Dunno. Just thinking out loud here.
It's not the same. Those compile to the bytecode but not through generating code. The "transpilers" for JavaScript are glorified code generators, they don't perform most of work that true compilers do.

Namely optimization and dead code elimination. The only true compiler for JS at the moment is google's Closure.

Scala and the .NET family languages go straight from code to bytecode with their own compiler frontends
Wasn't this supposed to be questions for the end of the technical interview?

To get a half decent answer on some of these would eat a lot of time. I tend to ask these DURING the interview and like to spend the end of the interview trying to get the know the developer on a personal level to establish how they fit into the culture of the team.
Yeah or to be a little less confrontational "What do you enjoy about working here?" works as well. I like when people ask me this question as I do like my company and it's an opportunity for me to demonstrate it to them.
This should be retitled "Silicon Valley job seekers are increasingly willing to consider working elsewhere."

There is no data in this post about where people actually end up working. Given job growth in the major tech hubs, it is implausible and/or mathematically unlikely that SF is no longer as attractive to job seekers as places like Austin. Nothing against Austin, but the tech industry there is still an order of magnitude smaller than SF, and the gap is not shrinking.
Damn, for a moment there I was hoping that Google made some sort of really cool espresso machine. Perhaps with Alexa built-in.
> As far as I can tell, SF is in SV. To someone who has never been/worked there..

Which is most reporters. They get sent out to Silicon Valley, land at the SF airport, and of course go to San Francisco. There's little to see in the valley, while SF has great views and also (recently -- last 15 or so years) companies to visit.

Reporters with deep roots here (e.g. Markoff, who grew up in Palo Alto and lives in SF) write about the difference, but if the Bay Area is a foreign place to you, the distinction is invisible. It reminds me of a cabby I had in Berlin: "Oh, you're flying to the USA? I know it very well -- I've been to Miami four times!"

Most coarsely, SV is more tech heavy, SF much less so. There are many exceptions of course.
I think you have a completely wrong idea about HATEOAS. The application is certainly expected to be able to handle the data format, not figure out by magic. As Fielding writes in his dissertation, REST components communicate by transferring a representation of a resource in a format matching one of an evolving set of standard data types. The client is certainly supposed to understand these data types, that's why they must be standard (like HTML). The dynamic part comes from the formats themselves, which may have variable or optional elements depending on the state of the resource.

> I have sometimes asked the hiring manager to describe when and why he gave a report a negative review about something. This usually causes a long pause.

As well it should. First, they do they not want to look bad. Second, the person that they gave the negative review to may be in the room with you (if they do group interviews). Third, even without the first two, there may be legal issues with them telling you the truth. (Even if there are no legal issues, it is almost certainly against HR policy, and rightly so.)
Looking for recent (late March) article on Internet advertising efficacy
There was a news article recently, late March I think, where a major advertiser did tests deploying ads and not deploying ads and there was no impact to their traffic. If anyone remembers which article I am talking about, I'd really appreciate help in finding it. Thank you in advance.
As far as this discussion goes, I think that code is documentation. If you need to figure out how something works, going directly to the automation code will give you the right answer. If the code is difficult to understand, that's more of a quality issue, and the same problem happens with word documents.
Per the GOAP paper [0], yes. You can weight different actions. The example used is: Order pizza (to satisfy hunger) cost of 2, make a pie (to satisfy hunger) cost of 8. If the actor only satisfies the preconditions for one, that's what they do. But if they satisfy the preconditions for both, they take the cheaper one.

backed by a tooling company means that the language was designed with tooling in mind and that there are going to be quality tools for the language. It doesn't mean there is only going to be one alternative.

Intellij Idea as IDE is a great choice. Android developers were forced to move from Eclipse to Idea and I haven't seen any resistance to avoid it. I have heard iOS developers complaning about tooling around swift. So, I think it is a strong point.

SV seems to have migrated a bit North.

At one time, Scotts Valley (other side of Highway 17) was considered part of Silicon Valley (Borland and Seagate).
One thing to consider, though, is that this flooding would have taken place slowly over decades; it would have started with flooding during storms, which became more frequent over time until the sea slowly moved in. So they had plenty of time to move or waterproof that infrastructure.

Though that calls into question the premise of the book, because they would have likely either filled in the land or built levees sometime in the half-century or so that the sea was rising.
> The 'passive' bullying is done by displaying the symbol in a public space to 'bully' those who recognize it as a message that they are not welcome and not wanted in that space.

I just don't buy this part. How do you know this is the intention? I'm assuming that it's just a picture of a swastika, not a targeted message of hate. How can you be so sure that they are out to send you this message? Are we in the realm of thought crime?

The very idea of bullying to me is a protracted, targeted, abusive thing. It does the kids who go through true bullying every day injustice to say that one off, untargeted, pixel art is in any way, shape, or form, bullying. It can be highly offensive, disgusting, and discomforting, or it can be artistic, clever, funny, and thought provoking--you'll never know if you sensor the speech by calling it "bullying".
It's definitely possible! I'd just have to teach RIPLink to ingest data from different sources. I.e. have it parse a text file (or other type of file) instead of HTML. Would you mind opening an issue on Github?

Several things around VR. Creating 360 degrees content that can be viewed using HMDs. Creating a website that is a directory of any fun place that people can go to. I though of this after I realized I hardly have any fun and I couldn't get one place that had a list of outdoor activities. The directory can be monetized by doing 360 photography and videos for all the listed businesses, e.g bungee jumping, safari walks, etc. And finally, merging all that by creating a commercial vr showcase. This will be done by syncing several devices (preferably samsung gear vrs because of quality) and use this to do product showcases and demos at events and trade fairs. Yeah! Its a lot and maybe am getting over my head with how much impact VR can be. I'd love to hear thoughts. My location is Kenya (Africa) by the way. So all this is completely very new in the market and experimental and am in it full time. Zero competitors.

I can't comment on oakmail, but I can tell you how i'm doing it for my project (decentralized mailer/messenger, look for my post on this page). But basically you perform a lookup (X address = Y privatekey). The problem is when your users don't want their pubkeys to be public.

In a nutshell, I create a new keypair using the recipients address as the seed for the keypair. Addresses in my system are similar to bitcoin addresses (I also use elliptical curve encryption) so the addresses have embedded hashes and checksum of the public key.

This means that pubkeys are encrypted and only people with your address can retrieve your pubkey.
Where did you read that? All I'm seeing is more and more ads in win 10 as time goes on.
Even worse, what if someone has years of widely recognized, valid experience and is also wrong?

If that seems preposterous, I'd point to things like Helicobacter pylori causing ulcers. Decades of dogmatic thinking.
Slightly up
That is why this rule is going to hurt the US more than help it. It comes with a real cost, but that cost is hard to measure. That one traveler that is turned away, won't pay for a hotel, any food, or any tourism. That will cost jobs in the long run.

The terrorist arriving will have time to carefully craft fake accounts not related to his real ones.

This is just more reason to think the rule is stop and clearly a political move to strengthen the xenophobic base.

The phone companies used to be so anal about this that they would ban 'unlicensed' hardware from their networks to the point that you could only use their overpriced hardware.

I thought that was more because it was overpriced than out of any attempt to avoid regulation. And that they were blatant enough about being anti-competitive that they got regulated for it.
The essence of what Espresso is begins towards the end of the post:

Espresso delivers two key pieces of innovation. First, it allows us to dynamically choose from where to serve individual users based on measurements of how end-to-end network connections are performing in real time.

Second, we separate the logic and control of traffic management from the confines of individual router “boxes.”
