I can speak from a marketing perspective. For context, I myself am somewhat technical (enough to be dangerous, but hopefully know when I'm at risk of being dangerous) and work closely with many incredibly talented engineers. .

To be successful in digital marketing these days, you absolutely need some of these skills. Knowing how marketing analytics and tracking work at a technical level opens up valuable new ideas to me as a marketer. These are critical things in an age where something like audience data can easily be a double (or even triple) digit growth driver. So knowing how and when to collect it, pipe it to the various places it needs to live, common pitfalls, and how to best act on it enables me to accomplish things those who are less technical may not be aware or capable of.

It also enables me to have both business and technical conversations with everyone involved in the process. This means less friction, more easily built consensus, and more successful outcomes. Life gets a lot easier when you can translate business needs to technical logic.

Plus, if it comes down to it, I can roll up my sleeves and be a direct contributor when needed for many common marketing chores like: adding new tags to the site, dealing with event data, coding emails, tweaking the code of marketing assets, and troubleshooting tracking. I am versatile and can be a one-man-show for essentially any area of marketing at this point.

For many of these tasks, the level of development experience needed is relatively low when you have appropriate guard rails and guidance. So if people get slammed, I am not overly dependent on my teammates for many areas core to my responsibilities, and can thus be more self-sufficient while enabling them to focus on much more technically difficult challenges. Plus, let's face it--not too many engineers get excited about setting up yet another tracking tag, so win-win right?

Last but certainly not least is the personal side. Working on a daily basis with engineers has let me grow my knowledge of various back and front-end things. This in turn has helped uncover a buried interest in wanting to get more technical in general. I've been reading Code[1] because I'm now genuinely interested in learning how computers work from first principles. As someone who grew up playing D&D and too many RPGs, it is just amazingly cool and mind-blowing how we are able to harness electricity to perform modern day magic. So I think there's something to be said for kindling new interests and growth in people--I wish more companies did things like this.

To change the names you'd have to re-implement all the functions. Good luck with that, base is /large/.

This is a documentation issue, not an implementation issue.

Is it true that carriers are increasingly switching to calling over WiFi? I understand the new iPhones have this feature, with switchover happening automatically.

Did the popularity of Facetime, WhatsApp, etc. have anything to do with this? I have seen claims from carriers that WiFi calling "improves coverage".

At some stage, will anyone question what is the point of the cellular network? Especially in urban areas.

What is the difference between

a. a "smartphone" and

b. a portable, pocket-sized computer with rechargeable battery where the user chooses what to install and can remove any pre-installed software, where user gets a choice of 1. using pre-installed software and default settings or 2. using her own bootloader, kernel and userland, and where the user can easily open the case and tinker.

Does a computer need to have any association with the company selling internet access? Today's "phones" are manufactured for carriers (who are often ISP's, too), not for users. The carriers in turn sell these customized "phones" to users.
I agree with you. 2 or 3 years ago I posted how I dislike Uber as they are shady and unethical and how some of the drivers do unethical stuff as well. Got downvoted every time because "cab drivers don' do that?"
OT - factoid. The photos in this article were taken by my former CEO, Christopher Michel. A serial entrepreneur with two exits (Military.com & Affinity Labs). He then turned into a full time photographer, but still advises companies, invests in a few and sits on a few boards.
When I worked at PlanGrid, spending an hour talking to a couple of sales people might have seemed like a waste of my time and their time but in reality it was a great way to share and increase collaboration. Every single time I visited a construction site I came away with new ideas and a better appreciation of what affected the users.

When you work at a startup you should strive to understand every aspect of the business. That applies to Engineers and non-Engineers alike.

Teaching everyone about the tech stack and some basic coding skills isn't the #1 priority by any means, but it surely ranks in the top 10 things you can do to improve productivity.
It's fun watching the world's worst unicorn startup being turned into dog food.

Thanks tetrep. I agree with your statement "would be a good time for HackerOne to write this stuff down".

We just discussed it this morning internally. If you have suggestions on how to formulate such a policy, please email me at marten@hackerone.com.

Thinking out loud, HackerOne stands for and supports the security and integrity of every piece of software code, for transparency and openness, for the sovereignty of each human being connected online, and for fair and equitable principles for all online activity. And probably some other aspects that I didn't think of this exact second.

If anyone has thoughts on this, we are all ears.

When it prompts for a "Server ID?", you should enter "soft1", without the quotes.

Are you doing that?

I am one of those people that used to visit the U.S.A. but stopped going some years ago. Why might that be?!?

Allegedly there was an election recently and some people voted for the crazy guy with small hands because he promised to build a wall to keep the drugs out. I don't think it was a bit of weed that concerned people, it was the epidemic in the truly destructive opiate/cocaine/crystal meth drugs that motivated them to vote.

From what I hear all of this sad addiction epidemic goes on in isolated regions, rural America with 30 million Americans - mostly vulnerable people - getting hooked on the crazy drugs due to being prescribed opiates and then having to score on the street because it is cheaper. There is nothing recreational about this type of sad drug use, it is death spiral addiction where nobody does well as a recovering addict.

These drugs get TV advertised, 'ask your doctor' is a unique U.S.A. thing, as is watching hours of TV laced with advertising. The rest of the world is not racing along with consumerism at the same level being bombarded with adverts for dangerous medications. But articles make it onto the web describing the horrors of the situation:

https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/3/23/14987892/op...

Sounds to me like the U.S.A. has turned into a land of zombies with people in California still safe, but, good luck if you live in New Mexico or Ohio, you are not going to be far from one of these otherwise dull and unremarkable Americans turned criminal crazy by prescription drugs.

So is that a tenth of the population doing shameful drugs that are totally not 'recreational' or social? These people are not spending their money on weed as they have the percocet or whatever to score or their crystal meth to 'shake and bake'.

I don't see how a population engaged in such activities can also support a 'healthy' dope smoking scene particularly when normal smoking of tobacco has been made a taboo thing to do.
It's not my job to prove the money is acquired legally, it's the investigator's job to prove otherwise.

Is there no "Server ID?" prompt?

When the keyboard appears, it should be asking you to enter a server ID (and you should type in "soft1").
There's a few things at play here:

* https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203032 WiFi Calling, which is (AFAIK) prioritised VoIP. Helps offload some calls from the provider's network which may help in congested areas

* https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203124 VoLTE. Voice over LTE, rather than GSM (?) channels. Highly prioritised VoIP over LTE data. Should improve call quality via better voice codecs. Seems to simplify tower equipment for the telcos - Telstra in Australia has some "4G Only" towers in a few places where "standard" voice calling is unavailable. VoLTE isn't particularly widely available here.

Really happy to be corrected here - this is interesting stuff.
OP here:

For emphasis, I have absolutely nothing against Apple, and I wish I could have stayed.

Although similar circumstances with internal transfers is certainly an unexpected coincidence :P

No exchange operator is doing "gods work" :) Seriously though, you are correct. Market makers are an integral part of how the markets function. Do they skim money from trades because they are better equipped to read the market at a given point in time? Absolutely. Do they also provide liquidity for the retail trader in a given moment to buy/sell shares? They definitely do. Market makers are not a new facet of trading systems, they are just a natural fit for HFT firms. Would it be better for your order of X shares of N company to go unfilled, or to pay .01 cents more per share to have it executed when you want?
Surely you’re joking? I think ~5 years is a totally reasonable time frame for new techniques, language features, and best practices to come about. Languages and libraries evolve in response to the needs of users and pain points with older approaches.

To be honest, having been a Haskeller since ~2010 (and a C++ guy since long before that) I’m not even really sure what specifically the author is referring to there.

Market making and HFT are different services, they may be done by the same company, but you don't need sub-ms views of the market if you are actually holding positions.

This is why HFT firms end every day with empty books.

In an interconnected society, pretty much everything relies on resources provided by other people.
Consider these parts of modern society: Transportation, Electricity, Water, Clean Air (through enforcement of laws controlling pollution), Internet access, access to food, education, etc. Why is it that only healthcare gets the same treatment as these other fundamental parts of modern society? And why does it only seem to be from the U.S. political spectrum? No one else seems to have a major problem with this.

No one is saying you need a free ride here, they're saying if you pay your taxes, you should have access the same as for education, or water, or public roads.

Not in the Bay, because I like being able to afford living

Nice.

There are times, when things are in one of their gross phases here, that that is literally the only reason I stick around.

Nice.

Arg, I was going to engage, but just... whatever. Ok yeah, it's impossible to live in the bay, HN is gross and only valuable for money, the world sucks.

Sorry, it's not even you. It's just this running joke of dissing on HN in passing (not even a solid critique or actionable complaint) that's getting a bit old. It seems like a common sentiment, but I know this is just randomness/selection bias doing its thing.

But it's slightly frustrating when the disses are sandwiched around the substance, so there's no way to even respond to them without by definition being off-topic. So you end up getting a free, cheap shot.

Anecdotally, the mods work their butts off, so if there's something specific that you're hoping will change, they're more than willing to listen. Especially if the community starts collectively nodding in agreement. Though usually it's better to express this in a tangentially-related topic.

x2. Meals cost pennies compared to the trivial BS schools waste money on.
These study groups were something I enjoyed and was dedicated to; they wound up being a nice perk for my colleagues -- good for morale and good for hiring. So while there was a cost, good value was generated in exchange and there was solid consensus around our team that the study groups were more than worthwhile.

To reproduce this success, though, you shouldn't ordinarily look to someone in a line engineering role. Organizing these sessions is more of a management or onboarding and training task.
Noise Pollutes Protected areas
An engineer with all those things will get the same salary as a new grad or someone else with a few years of experience (or even a coding school grad), in the bay area.

Many people do those things simply to get a phone call or email back, and have no leverage at all in the actual technical interview process. And there is no shortage of technical interviews in programming, very common for a job seeker to do 12 - 15 interviews at different companies during their interview cycle.

So again, standing out to recruiters is not really worthwhile. Although recruiters that do look for those things will swear by finding candidates with public github contributions, but thats how they avoid living in tents, but its not an objective reality.
Even without your insane commute, your description of your life sounds like mine. I'm a data scientist by trade, married, and father of three young ones (5, 2, and 4 months). My side project is writing (I've always wanted to be a published author), and it drives me looney always being so tapped out and exhausted. I try to enjoy family life while they're young because I know they'll become more independent as they get older, but man, when I'm too tired to do anything when my "alone time" rolls around after I get the older kids to bed, and when it seems my wife and I rarely get 1:1 time, it really makes me cranky and resentful. So the writing doesn't get done, and neither does any continuing education.

What I'm trying out is getting to bed earlier (hey, if I'm too tired to do the things I value then maybe I should just sleep!), and I'm starting to exercise. I've been told that exercise helps 1) sleep better, 2) feel better, and 3) gives you more energy. We'll see how it goes!

But yeah, try to figure out a way out of that commute. Some people are able to turn their commute into productive time, but I never had the knack. My understanding is that this phase is just that, a phase, and as the kids get older it will get easier in some ways.
I don't know how google 2FA is implemented, but I'd just assumed the initial code is akin to something like an initialisation vector / nonce for a counter or CBC mode block cipher. With the counter being 'time', meaning the scheme works something like:

hash_fn(concat(IV, time)) -> func(somehash) -> [code seq. 1]

Then on the next round the IV is discarded and it becomes:

hash_fn(concat([code seq. 1], time)) -> func(somehash) -> [code seq. 2]

That's almost certainly an over-simplification / wrong; it doesn't seem very secure to just use the previous output as the IV for the next round. Maybe it chains all previous outputs together somehow, IDK. I should probably research this, given how much I rely on 2FA for security.

EDIT: The Wikipedia article on TOTP seems to suggest that you're right; the initial shared secret looks indistinguishable from a password (although the article is a bit vague): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_A...
Nice! But seems still needs a long way to go.
How to DDoS an IP and Crash a Website (3 Working Methods)
First of all, it's worth pointing out again that we operate under the Medicare program. Medicare, in the US, is primarily a single-payer socialized system supported by taxes (but only people over the age of 65, or with certain disabilities/conditions, are eligible to enroll in it), but private insurers are able to operate under contract to Medicare. In that case, Medicare pays a premium to the insurer. The insurer can charge an additional premium to the member as well, and generally these plans come in tiers which make tradeoffs like premium versus deductible.

Second, it's worth pointing out that this is also the case in countries with fully nationalized single-payer systems: supplementary/third-party plans tend to still be available in such countries. For example, in Canada private supplemental insurance is a multi-billion-dollar industry.
> They are in such deep doo doo, a charity was started to pay overdue water bills.

That is barely any evidence. It is like pointing to a failed Bakery and claiming Bakery industry has sunk. It is a bit like Trump's logic that because Disney replaced some of their staff with H1Bs all programmers are losing their jobs to H1Bs.

Detroit had peak population in 19050s of 1.8M. Today it is half at around 700K. Most of the people have already left Detroit for better future and more will leave.

But guess what? From California to Texas from Washington to Florida not only cities have grown rapidly they have seen unprecedented increase in quality of life of bottom 20% of people. Any protectionist measure aimed at "fixing" Detroit in the Trump's "Make America Great Again" style would have brought a lot of misery to all those people.

What a load of self-serving, B.S. Public tax-payer funded health care is not some form of slavery for everyone who pays their taxes and doesn't get sick. And considering the author of Harry Potter benefited greatly from both health care services and other public benefits while writing her books, I think you don't have a leg to stand on there.

More to the point, you don't like the system, you're free to leave Germany, or whatever other country. But if you want to stay, you gotta pay your taxes. It's not "immoral" it's just your decision. The big difference between Germany now, and East Germany of 40 years ago, is you actually can leave anytime you want.
I'd never do it either, not because of privacy concerns but ethical reasons against Facebook benefitting from whatever they gather about such transactions.

When memmove() fails
I don't think that the problem is the way Apple does business. The problem is that people view their mobile phones as a service and don't want to pay for anything on top of that. It's like paying your ISP and then being expected to pay again everytime you visit a new website. Pretty much exactly the same as in both cases the people writing the software have trouble getting people to pay the bills.

If you could somehow bundle your apps for free as part of the service and get a cut from that, I don't think people would have a problem at all with software. But I don't think most of the telcos are interested in that approach.
Consider the possibility that what you may perceive as work, someone else considers play with certain benefits.
