SALES. What fascinates me about sales is the ability to bring immediate value to a company. True value. If you walk in the door and bring in a new sale order for $100k: the company just made money. It may sound impossible todo. But it isn't. EG. Selling a twilio account to uber isn't like landing a mars rover. It is totally possible. Uber needs to send text messages and there are only a handful of players in that space. If that was your account your cut could be in the 7figures. You are now the shit.

My friend at Flurry selling mobile ads (in 2012) made over a million in one year flat. During that year - selling mobile ads was like selling drugs behind a school. If Flurry pulls in 30million from your accounts, 1million is just a write off. When I lived in a nicer area of PacHeights in SF, my neighbors with houses were in SALES: oracle, real estate, franchises , on and on. Javascript progammers? No.

Applying a new cool bootstrap theme to a website or making that node.js app is cool, but the value it adds? You are too far down the value stick. One of my sales friends told me a horrifying statement: "Once we finish signing the paperwork, everyone else is worthless." It is true. They can get new programmers, new teams, new infrastructure, new products, hell, money buys anything.

You can do what this guy does. You probably will need a suite and a smile. But I think he makes more than everyone on this thread combined. ALSO. If you passed his desk around 2pm on friday? It would be empty.

If you're on RH derived systems, you're going to have a python 2.6 installed for rpm and yum to work.

This bit us in our ass with centos 6.8 , when another package required python 2.7... If you install 2.7 directly, your system fails with a thousand cuts. A chroot is needed for that, unfortunately.
Programming language implementations typically involve several layers.

For instance, there is often a "lexical analyzer" that interprets things like word boundaries, numbers and string literals.

Then there is a parser that implements the grammar of a language and creates an "abstract syntax tree"

Then usually there are several phases of transformation before creating machine code or structures that are interpreted.

To add a new feature to a language you will probably need to change several of these layers. For instance, you will need to add new syntax to the parser and then add an implementation. In some cases these changes may be localized, for instance, if you want to add an unless() keyword which works like if() but has a reversed sense, you can probably write a transformation close to the parser which just replaces the unless(X) structure with if(not(X)). Other changes could be more extensive.
Frequently. It's a laptop, that's kinda the point!

Aircraft and buses are common locations, but even when I'm coding on the couch I appreciate not being tethered to an outlet.

And the sleep/hibernate problems are equally if not more important. I need to be able to close my laptop and reopen it without it consistently crashing. Debian Sid had a good stretch for a while there but right around the move to systemd things destabilized again and I'm just done with it.
Algolia is one competitor, but there are many others which actually does the indexing through crawling, stemming and UI rendering - ours, Cludo.com being one of them.

I'm an owner at Codetree - one of the project management launch partners for Marketplace. We talked through this scenario with GH when we were integrating.

What happens today is the limits are enforced on the app side, not he GitHub side.

So for example our free plan is two users. If you wanted to add a third you'd need to go GH Marketplace and upgrade to the eg 10 user plan. That would trigger an upgrade in Codetree and your plan there would enable you to add up to ten users.

In short: you trigger upgrades and downgrades, not the tool vendor you're using or GH, and thresholds are stored in the tool vendors database so they're the ones who decide how to tell you that you need to upgrade.

Edit: sorry for this. it was not my intention to come across this way. I was wrong.

The Github team was great and tireless during this launch, congrats to Github and all the partners.

I'm Jaime, CEO of Codacy[1] and one of the three chosen Code Quality partners for this launch.
We specially love the Github Apps, since we heard for a long time the feedback of asking too many permissions. This has been a bit of a pain point. With Github Apps, it will be easier to cherry pick permissions. This is not yet running in Codacy but it will soon.

One of the reasons why we're excited and decided to take part is the really qualified audience. Everyone just really gets what we do (automated code review) when they are already familiar with Github.

Generally speaking, if you're leading an unhealthy lifestyle, buying a new gadget will not change that. I'm sure there's plenty of anecdata to counter this, though.

That is key. I don't see how. At first I thought maybe a sweat related method? Perhaps some odd electronic field trick no on has tried? Unlike heart rate I doubt a camera and bright light would suffice.

I do know I would buy them for my parents immediately once they are shown to work. Would not even pause. Blood sugar is spooky and you are toast if it goes low and no one is around to help

anecdotal section : My mother has been taking insulin since the 80s, she uses a pump currently. The real danger in blood sugar is when levels get low. She has caught her self in the low 40s but if it had happened at night she would be in real trouble. You just simply go to sleep and never wake from it. High numbers while dangerous are sustainable and your conscious throughout.

She has had a few episodes where it went out of control (600+) that took a hospital visit days to get under control with a drip. Same routine, you go in and tell them your level. They don't believe you. They test three times then freak out. You are in heart ward and even then they cannot get it back and turn from blaming your diet to going "We don't know". The point is, even highly regulated/monitored things happen and doctors don't know all the whys.
I think siri already has this feature. I am not sure but Siri can differentiate the devices without telling about a device.
Hey, I'm just reporting back one of the common responses that I get when discussing climate change with people. If you've got something of substance (e.g. a few links) that address why he's wrong, that would help.

Btw, I got downvoted because people don't like my comment?

I really wish HN readers would get out of their echo chamber and understand the other side. The controlling Republican party really does believe that it's not worth investing the money into fixing climate change because of arguments like Bjorn's.

Pick ANY article on the WSJ that discusses solar, climate change, or even Tesla, and it degenerates into bashing subsidizing solar, climate change bashing, etc

Here's today's article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/solar-company-sunrun-was-manipu...

By the way, can you provide references for your claims?
“I Am a 10X Programmer” (PHOTO)
I did read enough of it and feel no need to read any further. If I saw an article titled "Why we should abort all boys before they are born", I wouldn't read it, but would infer that it was most likely written by some crazy feminist, who was out of touch with reality. Pointing out that this guy is out of touch with reality here on HN, where most of you are wealthy white Americans, just like that guy, is akin to commenting about that imaginary article on a feminist forum.

You recognize yourself in that guy, that's why you feel the need to defend him, that's where all those downvotes are coming from. But what I see in that guy is not myself. I see yet another whining American, who thinks that losing everything means losing something.

I had a loving girlfriend, friends and a job, and now I have none of that, but I don't claim that I lost everything, because I saw people who actually did that. They have no hope, no money, no future, nothing to wait for, only cold and real, true despair, which only to some extent can be alleviated by drinking vodka.
You can use comm from coreutils for that too: `comm -1 file1 file2`
Thanks for the legwork. Would need to see the actual content of the predictions.

But at least from your quote, the actual effects are not supposed to happen by the year 2000.

It's just that the amount of CO2 emitted by year 2000 has already committed us to a certain amount of climate change, that will just take a while to happen.

Here's one article with some actual sources, looking at predictions from the year 1981.

Yes, it'll be non-idiomatic, not very non-idiomatic, because Kotlin is not that far from Java. Kotlin is better than Java even for consuming Java API. And you can write Kotlin wrappers around this API to make it better.

I've written few Kotlin applications. I didn't use Kotlin libraries, I used only JDK and Java libraries. I never felt that I would be better using Java. Kotlin is better in every aspect or at least not worse.
Angular 2: How and why to migrate
It's like the Y2K bug. People still act like it was made-up. We can't prove the bug would have caused all the predicted problems because we fixed the bug. All we know is we got a lot of updated, modern systems and huge R&D budgets from all the money that flooded into fixing it. How much of the tech we take for granted today is because of all that investment?

We're in the same position with climate change. All we've gotten out of it so far is affordable renewable energy, better tech for power monitoring and distribution, and a lot of new jobs. So far, solving a maybe is proving to be a good investment, and may save us all if the worst case scenarios are realistic.

Transformation has costs, it's not a free ride. The investment that you do there is not being done somewhere else.
Can you give me example. I never noticed this but then again, I haven't used Siri as much.
This talking point really only works as long as "we do all this work" is vague.

If it's replaced by what alarmists actually claim is necessary, it becomes very clear why it's not that simple.
Optane's performance is hardly on par with SSDs, let alone DRAM.

XPoint is expected to have performance much higher than Optane.
This stuff is cancer. I think Google made a terrible mistake trying to placate those who want equality of outcome. It's not achievable or even desirable.

In an effort supposedly to combat sexism and racism, discrimination on the basis of gender and ethnicity is now normalized and practically codified. But equality of outcome still proves elusive, as it always will, so people say Google still hasn't gone far enough. It never will be able to satisfy such people.

But I think a huge amount of damage may be done in the process of trying, in the form of making gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, etc, more important when we want to be making progress toward a world in which those things are not considered very important at all.

It's a language created by Jetbrains and they have all their employees heavily brigade promote stuff about Jetbrains on social media.

They also probably have an enormous team manipulating Reddit and hackernews votes (perhaps they run a internal email for everyone to vote and comment).

Kotlin is an unneeded solution to an inexistent problem. A language in no way comparable to Scala or Java. If you adopt it in your project you'll be in deep shit a couple years from now.

It is interesting that of the 5, Microsoft is still in the mix. Look back 10 years, or 20 years, and ask which companies you would have thought would also be present. MS may have made the list, but wouldn't a lot of others as well?

Apple is also surprising, but then again, that's what they were so good at. You expect someone to come out of nowhere, but MS just keeps on chugging when so many others failed out.
I used to be a software engineer and switched into the investment/asset management industry. I had hand, finger and shoulder pain. Turns out it was Carpel Tunnel.. I was 25... I've been using Bracoo wrist braces when typing and they've really helped. I also sleep with them on and while I still have some tingling in my hands the pain has mostly gone.

The switch into investments and the wrist braces basically saved my career...

By the way, prepare for downvotes. This is a throwaway account. Jetbrains has all their employees and maybe even external marketing firms in these promotional posts. Especially on Reddit /r/programming my goodness they are obnoxious with their downvote brigades.
Yep...that was the one...further on in the broadcast the researcher from Google explains that for "Quantum Supremacy", that "49-qubits" are enough to "leave the fastest classical computer in the dust" or some such hype.

I have no idea, because I never made such a claim.

I don't understand. Why wouldn't I be able to buy these services otherwise?

I don't want to call you old-fashioned. More like incoherent.
If you don't mind me asking. Were you able to trace it back to something that led to RSI ? Do you have any tips for people to avoid it in future.

Also, so glad to hear you were able to find something you like doing. RSI is stuff of nightmares.
The Netherlands are spending several billion euros to build larger dams. They do this because of the rising sea levels.
I always saw "weekend" in the same way as "book end", that is, that one is at the beginning of the week (one starting end), and one is at the conclusion of the week (the finishing end). Because our weeks come successively, the end of one is immediately followed by the beginning of the next, hence the "block" called the "weekend".

Couldn't you just use arc (with arc_ecto if you're using ecto)? Arc is basically the Elixir version of Rails' Paperclip, which does all of the heavy lifting for you.
Same issue occurred with Y2K. Dire threats, nothing occurred on actual date. Fact is there was an immense effort to update millions of lines of code throughout our infrastructure -- apparently successfully. Do recall several cases of old systems being kept running "to see what would happen" and they did demonstrate the failure.

Just because we averted disaster doesn't mean it wasn't going to happen.

Pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators:
Software Radio Attacks and Zero-Power Defenses
https://spqr.eecs.umich.edu/papers/icd-study.pdf

>Our study analyzes the security and privacy properties of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Introduced to the U.S. market in 2003, this model of ICD includes pacemaker technology and is designed to communicate wirelessly with a nearby external programmer in the 175 kHz frequency range. After partially reverse-engineering the ICD's communications protocol with an oscilloscope and a software radio, we implemented several software radio-based attacks that could compromise patient safety and patient privacy....
It's jetbrains' PR now added with Google.

Google employees can destroy any post on reddit. Jetbrains copied that model. Anything about Jetbrains will have tons of artificial posts at the top, their crew upvoting it.

It's useless this sort of thing is killing social media completely.

WTF is kotlin and why would anyone in their right minds use a language from a text editor company. Beats me.
Not many books to recommend, but there's a whole wealth of content online. I'd start by keeping an eye on Hiten Shah's [0] newsletter, decent curation there for a number of topics. The Buffer's blog here is pretty good, as are the content marketing ones from Drift, Intercom and Groove.

Of course, if enough startup/tech people are interested in some more tailored lessons, reach out (email in profile). Been thinking of building out a small course/curated info on marketing with this sort of stuff.

Learn CMake's Scripting Language in 15 Minutes
We had the same thing being reported in the late 70's.

There was a travelling exhibit that visited my high school which was an analog computer - you could set your energy sources (coal, hydro, nuclear, solar) and see how long society could run before we re-entered the Dark Ages (literally - no more electric lights!). Thinking about it - the consumption side was likely a rising wave function which predicted steadily-increasing use of electricity.

This was around the time when the EPA's Energy Star program got started, and I suspect it did a lot to counter the increase in demand.

You can also look at the films of the 70's to get some of the zeitgeist of the era - "Soylent Green", "Silent Running", "No Blade of Grass", "Damnation Alley", and so on, all with the theme that the Earth no longer nourishes life.
There is a nice documentary on the history of the demoscene, with some introspection to the creative process behind a demo/intro. It was made by a Hungarian team, who has other interesting documentaries on underground culture.

> You make it sound like most people that make those decisions have a choice with outsourcing.

Depends on your definition of "choice" and what "free will" is. In the definitions that I'm using, you always have a choice to stand on "high moral ground" (as you perceive it), lose money and in the end destroy your company.

> And if leadership won't make the decision the company you supply will find a competitor. and if you're a fortune 500 company then the bad quarterly results will get you replaced.

And if you follow the chain of cause and effect to the logical conclusion, you will see the same middle american, shopping in Walmart, searching for cheaper goods without any concern over whether they were produced in China or America.

Companies and other large organizations like that cannot be moral or immoral, because they just serve as proxy for collective decisions and desires of other people - their shareholders and customers. And their shareholders and customers are usually the same usual american people, who want their pension savings to grow and buy things for cheap.

For cancer there's almost always some kind of combination that gives some results (even if not great). So your statement proves what I said.

> Use of placebo controls may be justiﬁed in these situations:

> To prove effectiveness of a new treatment for diseases with high placebo response rates

> In conditions that alternately become worse or better, have spontaneous remissions (the disappearance of the signs and symptoms of cancer, but not necessarily the entire disease), or have an uncertain and unpredictable course

> When existing therapies are minimally effective or have serious side effects

> In the absence of any effective therapy
