Ask HN: Do you still use RSS if not what else?
I am working on this side project where people can blog and it's very simple. I was just wondering if I should implement RSS for people to follow their favourite blogger. My audience is mostly Hacker news type of people (<3 ) . So do you still use RSS to follow your favourite blogs?
Longshot Systems | Linux Platform Engineer | Marylebone London UK | ONSITE | Full time

At Longshot Systems Ltd we're a small startup building advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading. Having developed a lot of our core platform infrastructure we are looking to begin expanding our trading strategy research activity and core infrastructure management. We have an office dog, Minos. He's a beagle and rather cheeky. We can send you a pic if you need it to help in your decision making process.

You'd be working closely with the CTO and the development team to support our production & development trading infrastructure, develop new infrastructure and detect, diagnose and help solve performance issues in applications, networks and operating systems. You should be happy wading through tonnes of metrics, packet dumps and logs to find and solve issues. This role combines SRE, sysadmin, devops and security. We're a small team (6 currently) and you'd be responsible for the entire production and development infrastructure.
Unfortunately we can't support visa applications at this time. To learn more about the roles and to apply please visit https://longshot-systems-ltd.workable.com/ or email jobs at longshotsystems dot co dot uk
Do we really still trust the internet for reviews on anything at this point? Personally, I've reverted to word of mouth. I assume any review on the internet has been paid for, one way or the other.

In addition you will have responsibility for outlining desired interfaces and engaging with the frontend developers building them.

It will involve:

* Designing and implementing Database designs

* Designing and coding APIs

* Designing frontend libraries

* Creating rough outlines (wireframes) of actual interfaces

> Why? Why should objects exclusively get this distinction when every other programming language paradigm is analyzed technically?

Who is analyzing? I definitely don't analyze other paradigms technically. You should know me better than that. I'd rather all paradigms be analyzed based on how they are used to write programs and how they influence program designs. The technical details are just details.

> What's the point of making "object" synonymous with "identity" when we already have the term "identity" to designate the relevant property?

Again, it is how you design your programs: are you relying heavily on equational reasoning, or have you divided things into a bunch of nouns with behavior.

> "objects respond to messages, and the only way to interact with an object is to send it messages".

They might indeed, but it is a vacuous statement to begin with. It is extremely sad how little design is considered in programming languages. That an entire paradigm could be boiled down to such a true but useless statement.
EPA Climate Info Site “Being Updated”
SEEKING WORK - Based in Nashville, remote preferred, but open to travel for larger projects, major meetings, etc.

I'm an independent iOS developer and product manager with personal experience as a startup founder. I have deep experience with Objective-C and Swift, as well as backend experience with LAMP (esp Laravel, CakePHP, and WP), RoR, Parse, and Firebase. Getting into React Native now as well.

Though I've done lots of things, I really focus on MVP mobile apps for startups. I help startups go from a great idea to having a polished app in the hands of their users.

To be blunt, if you know exactly what you want and "just" need it coded up, you can find someone cheaper.

BUT if you have a broad concept and you need someone who understands the entire product development / startup funding / business growth lifecycle and how to get things done within those constraints, I'm an excellent fit.

I've built and launched dozens of complex native iPad and iPhone apps and worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies to build and grow apps to many millions of collective users.

I'd love the opportunity to work with you if things are a good fit!

Just to avoid wasting anyone's time, I try to focus on just a few clients per year, so generally, pricing options start at $20k. Feel free to reach out anyway though, I love HN and hearing from members of the community :)

You can reach me at ryan@mobileCTO.io or text me at 650-646-3914
But you can only do that with so many people. Facebook is more convenient. And it has the random factor. Sometimes there's a friend d who you weren't super close with but always thought well of. With Facebook you can see when they're visiting your city (if they make a post about it). It gives you the opportunity to know that that friend is around and reach out to them.

I think there are a lot of positives to Facebook, but a lot of potential negatives for certain kinds of personalities (people who are negative or addictive). With the right attitude though, it's certainly helpful

Roku has lots of positions open right now, but this is my own group so I'm posting this one.

We've got a growing development office here in Austin focusing on the Roku TV product line. These are TVs made by our partners that have the whole software experience driven by Roku OS. Our group works on the whole system, including SoC and board bring-up, implementing TV-specific features (think tuners and HDMI sourcing and CEC and picture quality tuning), implementing streaming media technology and graphics, and working on optimizing the manufacturing and setup flow. We primarily work in fairly modern C++ with some ARM/MIPS/8051 assembly and some higher-level scripting. Experience with the TV technology stack and with embedded Linux for consumer electronics are big plusses, as well as experience building and working with secure systems.

We're also always looking for great QA engineers at all of our locations; we try to keep a fairly high ratio between dev and QA and work closely with them through our development process.

Our main company dev team is in Los Gatos, CA, and we've also got a big group in Cambridge, England and a smaller team in Shanghai, China that focuses on working with our factory partners.

I'm not that tall, and I don't think my arms are long.

but for me having no armrests and keeping my keyboard in my lap (its a shorter kinesis with wells) is the best position to avoid wrist, elbow, and shoulder strain. so I don't really care about the desk height, only the monitor height.

plus with the keyboard on my lap like that I get to shift around in my seat

Does Yelp verify that buiness actually exist?

If I was in the US, had too much time and money on hand it'd do the following: Start serveral business and make sure they never actually serve costumers. Sign them up with yelp. Write a few positive and negative reviews about them. Spend money on yelp advertising on some of them. See how they compared to the control group.

If the rumors are true, sue them with anti-mafia-laws.

The fact that nobody has done this yet colors me very skeptical about the claims.
The 'embargo' algorithm is nothing as sensible as you suggest.

If you click through to the hidden reviews, you can quickly see that there is very little logic happening. You'll often see a hidden review from a user who has left 20+ reviews, while at the same time one of the shown reviews is from a first-time reviewer.
I think one reason you see "think pieces" like this is that handicapped parking spaces are a massively under-utilized resource. I have never seen them all used, not even close, but often I've seen a full or nearly full lot with the best possible spots free and unusable because they are marked handicapped. Able bodied people tend to get selfishly frustrated when they are forced to walk all the way from the back of the lot in these circumstances.

One solution to this would be to allow pregnant woman and parents with young children (under the age of 5) to park in handicapped spots. This would lead to a higher utilization, and greater safety. Little kids can be hard to control, and dart everywhere, saving just a few young lives would make it worthwhile. And pregnant women shouldn't be forced to park in the back of the lot, esp. when they'll need to carry groceries or other purchases.

Accommodations like this I would hope would also cool the jets of people like the author. They'd see the handicapped spaces being used more, and hopefully realize there is a wide range of people in our society who need this assistance.

No, all kinds of companies will start offering machines as 'ready for macOS', and we'll see the same problems.

Another user suggested using Ethereum smart contracts for this. I'm not terribly familiar with Ethereum, but I wonder if the contract could be designed to automatically forward to a Charity-held wallet, or even the wallet of a reputable intermediary like Watsi.
No disk drive. Running off of an ADATA Premier SP600 256 gig SSD, which is supposed to have 540MB/s read, 290MB/s write.
>No one claimed it wasn't useful, simply that it's not necessary to have objects.

"Immutable data structures necessarily don't have identity (well, to say identity isn't meaningful because aliases can simply be seen as copies)."

I read saying that it is necessariy for them not to have identity, and that giving them identity isn't useful or meaningful.

If it said "don't necessarily" instead of necessarily don't, I would agree
"In prime locations for wealthy foreign investors, such as the affluent boroughs of Chelsea and Kensington in the city of London, the number of vacant units increased by 40% between 2013 and 2014."

How much of this is vacant vs AirBnB units? In heavily regulated markets a lot of owners will under-report that they're being used for AirBnB.

Yes. RSS with the Feeder Chrome extension.
Not at all.

The definition I like to use of concatenative language is:

If "X Y" is a legal program, then "X" is a list of tokens and a legal program and "Y" is a list of tokens and a legal program, and semantically, executing "X Y" is equivalent to executing "X" and then executing "Y".

practical implementations often deviate a little from this ideal.

Sent to Prison by a Software Program’s Secret Algorithms
We were just discussing this with my wife yesterday. The very same story happened to our doula, who's very non-technical and she asked us what to do (we are both engineers). Short story: she had a profile on Yelp, almost 20 5-star reviews from former customers (who spend, on average, 2/3 months with her - so each star is a big deal). One day Yelp! connects with her proposing her to become a paid customer, how could that boost her visibility, etc. etc. Moreover, she has great reviews and it would be good for her to maintain that track record. She declines - also because she is not very technical and she has no idea how much business she's getting from Yelp. Within a month, half of her 5-star reviews are gone and 2 1-star reviews appeared (that she does not recollect as customers - so she reported them).

My get on the entire story is that Yelp sounds a lot like Italian's mafia (btw, I'm Italian) - where "you have a really nice restaurant there, it'd be a shame if something bad would happen to it. But if you pay us, you'd have nothing to worry about."
Ask HN: Who needs Pininfarina design?
Pininfarina is a legacy Italian design house - most known for iconic automotive design. The studio has since expanded the scope of design projects in multidisciplinary ways, and looks for partners in tech who could be looking for:

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
ex. Hardware, products (inc. IoT), IDL

ARCHITECTURE/INTERIOR DESIGN
ex. Offices, coworking

TRANSPORT DESIGN
ex. Self-driving vehicles, land/air/water

Any ideas? Anyone know of founders/companies looking for design partners?
Why manufacturing jobs aren't coming back to the U.S
Sounds like the OP would have been the guy to help you.
I think it is simpler than that. Baseline lead exposure is very low so absent a specific problem high density areas will still have few high test results, and the problems with accidentally making a density map aren't so prevalent when a small area is under consideration.
(I can be wrong but) as far as I understand E is based on objects and messages as primary mechanisms, that is, we do not know where objects exist, how they are managed and how messages are transferred. Concept-oriented programming (COP) is a references-first approach while objects are defined as being functions of references, that is, object is a derived (secondary) element of the model and the goal is to be able to have full control over this mechanism (custom heap, custom garbage collection, custom access control and security model etc.)

What I see similar in object-capability model and COP is that they both try to treat object access as a highly important part of a system behavior. In COP, I used to write that it is more important what happens during access rather than in the object itself. Hence, being able to make these intermediate actions integral part of the program (and develop good PL for that purpose) is very important.
PG had anonymous alt accounts even before he split. I'd say he still dips in from time to time. You could probably find his current alts by doing stylometric analysis on the corpus of HN comments.
Our code is already available in very chaotic, not well-documented form at https://github.com/robintibor/braindecode/.
I am working on producing a clean version of this :)
There is no evidence because there can be no evidence. Every single time this is shown with screenshots, Yelp says the same thing: that its proprietary algorith changes all the time. They get a free copout and all of its defenders on the web just parrot that statement.

Lower-ranked reviews fly to the top? Algo change. Stars suddenly missing? Algo change. Positive reviews suddenly 'not recommended' Algo change.

Saw in this case and more if you care to do some legwork.

http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/09/yelp-manipulates-reviews-a...

Oh and the algo is beneficial to paying customers without actually saying so. You can bullshit it anyway you like, "high CPM via our ad network or profile enhancement package means a more reputable business which means those not recommended 4 star reviews are probably true" and off you go. Or support is much more willing to work with you to get rid of 'suspicious' one and two star reviews if you call and the CRM pop-ups you have the 'gold package.'
