> She came onto my radar after killing the work from home policy that Yahoo had.

Google does not have a WFH policy. She killed the policy because internal audit showed that many people were just not working when they claimed to be; VPN and sign-in logs turned up many slackers. There were some who were allowed to WFH. So it wasn't a blanket "no one's allowed to WFH", but more a "justify your need to WFH and show that you're doing a good job".

> Then she promptly built a nursery in her office.

She did not take much of a maternity leave at all. She came back within 2 weeks of giving birth via a cesaerean(sp). She just converted a cube nearby to where she kept her kid.
I was trying to illustrate how far down the list I would go before resorting to manually selecting each character with a mouse. Sed is much higher on the list.

That's a little unfair. If I was only changing one or two characters then the mouse is fine. If I'm changing more than about 10-20 there will be a hunt for an alternative.
There are two answers to that. One is that to fully support these rich formats you have to have compete feature parity with Office, which isn't trivial. The other is that we're comparing to plain text, which doesn't even pretend to give you any control over how things look.
Have you tried? You start to run into trouble the moment you have fractions and exponents.
> just need to persuade myself to accept it mixed in JS file

Why is this a bad thing? The most important thing about JSX is that it's a single source of truth -- you never have to wonder if data is processed in the JS or in the template. I really think everything in one file is the ideal, we've even started moving the styles inline via styled-components.
Except that bitcoin doesn't have $400 million of liquidity. If you sold them you'd get way less than the current price suggests. I doubt many creditors would be willing to accept bitcoin directly.
Thinking of moving a small startup/consultancy to Melbourne from London.

Would be interested to know about
- real estate prices

- How does healthcare compare to UK

- is it as painful as in UK to get kids into kindergartens/schools

- corporate taxes and regulations, anything one needs to pay special attention too

- is the market for jobs/contracts similarly fluid as London, where I find it relatively easy and quick to find clients

- are there a lot of different tech niches in AU or is mining/finance where most jobs come from
Yes, but the package on npm is, indeed, corrupt and the latest semantic version.

Anyone creating a fresh project right now with uglifyjs somewhere down the build chain will face this issue.

The only way to resolve this is by publishing a fresh, correct version to npm ragardless of what caused the issue.

The authors have failed to do this till now and the issue remains closed.
She's a woman. Incompetence in other CEOs is generally ignored and tolerated.
> even though it wasn't their fault that OP's account was compromised

The article strongly suggests this isn't the case, though. OP had TFA active, but Uber allowed access to his account without without requiring the passcode they texted him. We don't know exactly what happened, because the support rep dodged the TFA question every time, but it doesn't appear to be a proper outcome.
I don't know. If you replace Marissa Mayer with a generic CEO, and Yahoo did just as badly under that CEO, there might be just as much anger and/or contempt. See Steve Ballmer for an example - and Microsoft didn't do badly under him, just less great than it did under Bill Gates.

(Yes, I know that lots of the vitriol aimed at Ballmer was for various weird public antics. But he was also regarded as a dud of a CEO, and roundly criticized for not actually knowing how to run Microsoft.)
> It's that Jony Ives chassis, exterior, and interior that that would set the automotive industry on fire.

If his car design is anything like his watch designs, then I doubt it.
Many of the current "power users" are also "trend setters". If those users start switching away from Apple then it's going to be a big hit to Apple's brand value (and their ability to sell middling products and high prices).
And in very many or highly sparse dimensions with few or lazy updates, R-tree or derivatives.
Marissa Mayer was already on the sinking ship - but I admire her ambition on trying to make that thing work. God speed on her future en-devours for sure.
So they're just like every other standard on the Web, basically.
you are comparing an offer for a car vs an offer for 4 tires.
Thanks for the feedback. I built this as a senior in college, when my classmates and I didn't really have any useful connections to people in the industry. I did try cold-emailing and cold LinkedIn messaging people, but received few to no replies. It's definitely something that can be integrated into this webapp though, adding support for emailing/reaching out directly to hiring managers.
Not using arrow functions in JSX code to define error handler. Yes, I believe you are right, that would create multiple handlers.
This sounds like a modern follow on in the spirit of work done at UW, Duke and UBC in the 90s called "GMS". The interconnect was ATM at first, and then Myrinet (which is a sort of predecessor to Infiniband). The GMS research was done on DEC Alphas running DEC UNIX (and later FreeBSD) and involved allowing applications transparent access to huge amounts of RAM over the network.

And in fact, it looks like they cite some of the GMS papers..
I mostly don't find tech jobs. I'm quite lucky to have one otherwise I'd be screwed. Sites I've tried that have most return are hired.com and underdog.io but you need more than 3 years experience to be accepted to a round most likely.

We're arguably the least cavalier about taking life of any life on earth.

Meal Timing Regulates the Human Circadian System
Spent some time on this a while back, and even wrote a driver that let me use a game controller as a complete replacement for my keyboard and mouse. Interesting but not really successful.

One key takeaway: The input bitrate that a competent typist can get from a keyboard is quite high. As a guess, it might be 8x higher than with a gamepad or mouse.

And as an additional detail, I've had more RSI issues with mice than keyboards over the years, even though I use emacs.
Not super related, we find the type check lib rho-contracts useful https://github.com/sefaira/rho-contracts.js.
> Then they log in as you

Except the account in the article had two factor auth enabled. Someone triggered the second factor (a text message) then logged in without access to it. That's the question at the heart of "how did this attack happen?"
Two extreme cases that happened to me:

- "I have to get this done today, no matter how long it will take" -> procrastinate the whole day, waste the night to do the stuff in low quality, using "it's late now" as an excuse.

- "I have to leave early today" -> productive focuessed work to get some stuff done before the time runs out
So does that mean a gradual sell off? Disbursement and sale to lots of different entities? I'm just not clear why there would be any lack of movement on this.
I find it to be a big pain on my iPhone. You have to tap and hold for a long time, very carefully not moving the finger so it doesn't interpret the gesture as a scroll, then probably adjust its selection using those tiny fiddly little blue touch thingies, and if you mistap at any point it resets everything. Then you need to long tap again to bring up the options, but not medium long tap because that will reset everything, nor have any wiggle since that will scroll, nor super long tap since that does nothing...

The best I can say is that it's better than nothing. I use it from time to time, but only because I have to.
technically, trade secrets are roughly the opposite of patents. Trade secrets are "tell no one, and no one can use it cause they don't know about it", whereas patents are "tell everyone, and the government will make sure no one can use it for a while", with the advantage of patents being that a) the public will be able to use it once your patent term is up, while b) the government becomes the enforcer, rather then your ability to keep the secret. Monopolies are largely recognized as a potential negative, but in this case, patents provide a way to encourage publicizing knowledge. Without patents, companies would attempt to keep everything a secret, arguably a negative to society.

Ah yes, the "if you are not [blank], just be/do [blank]!" argument. Also, it's not the fees on transactions made by the attacker that the problem, it's ANY money withdrawn from the author's card resulting from the attacker's activity.
Yes, but you only have one thumb covering all those hotkeys. Pressing them in rapid succession will be much easier in parallel on a keyboard, simply because your four fingers aren't occupied on aiming the mouse and clicking the main two buttons.
Hi Salvatore! :D

And there's even a tiny Redis dependency (optional though) in the code to generate these results. In particular the collective communication library needs a rendezvous phase where all nodes connect to their peers. Using Redis for this is one of the options.

I think your analogy oversteps -- it's really more akin to teaching people how to use a fire extinguisher, even though they're unlikely to ever encounter a fire.

According to the ATF[1], there are more firearms in America than people. The idea that you might live your whole life and never see one is far from a given, though rurality vs. urbanality almost certainly affects this, as well as the carry laws in the area you live. The statement is almost certainly more true in somewhere like California than it is in Alaska, but in my experience, definitely doesn't hold true for "America" on the whole.
What's so bad about maintenance mode? Do we really need a major new OS revision every year!? An OS is a platform, it's not a product of its own.
How's it an issue with response time? 10-20 minutes for a _country_ residence is an amazing response time.

Police don't have personal teleporters and there isn't an infinite number of them. Want a 5 minute response in the country? Pay 90% tax that goes to the police departments. I'd still be amazed if you'd get it down to under 10 minutes consistently.

> The strict control over firearms means that it's very unlikely that a home invasion robbery is going to involve guns on their part.

Many Americans will argue that the 2A and personal weapons mean that home invasions are less likely to occur in the first place because of increased risk to the criminal (getting your head shot off).

Not necessarily saying they're right, but there is another side to gun control.

Ask HN: Are progressive applications production-ready? New app at angular.io
Today the Angular team released a progressive web application which is really fast, the fastest I've seen - https://angular.io/tutorial

But there is one interesting thing:

if you reload the application and inspect the network tab, it's essentially an empty page, the content is being loaded via Javascript only.

So the application is not being server-side rendered, it's all just javascript.

Does this mean that we can start using this on the public internet without worrying about SEO?

Or will the Angular docs now show up on the last page of Google :-) ?

Also, there is no timeline for Safari/ iOs to support PWAs, but trying the app out on an iPhone it's still super fast.

Does this mean we start using this in production?

I heard reports of Google not being able to fully index Javascript pages, but here is a Google team deploying their documentation using it.

Any insight on the viability of PWAs in production would be great, thanks

Are they though? Not saying you're wrong, but that's a giant assumption without data to back it up. That Mac sales are still up year over year suggests to me that the complaints of pro users (which lets face it, date back to 2010, when the cheesegrater Mac Pro was getting long in the tooth) have had little or no impact on sales.
In the case of Apple the CEO is the public face of a fantastic team Steve built. I assume Microsoft is similar, Satya just knows how to get out of the way better than Ballmer did.

I know this is a "pop" news writeup and not a proper paper, but this same thing has been done many times before, for example the Cray T3E had this sort of thing built into its OS. One of the interesting challenges is that the networking stack allocates memory, so you have to be careful to avoid deadlocks when memory runs low.

A user-level example is the Global Arrays toolkit from PNNL, released in 1994: http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/global_arraysdev/index.shtml
This goes both ways.

I get emails, LinkedIn messages from recruiters and I could tell which recruiters mass emailed to candidates and used a generic template. They are probably just playing the numbers game. Since they didn't care enough to at a minimum change or add one or two sentences to make the email unique to my skill set, they didn't get far in their recruiting efforts.
Unity became usable in recent releases. But I've never been 100% comfortable with it, I've always felt like I'm interacting with my computer through a bowl of treacle.

> do high schools in the US teach this kind of stuff

It was pretty common in the 50s, and up to the civil rights era in the 60s, but after that, the answer is very much no. Currently, possession of a firearm on school grounds is a felony for almost everyone.
Another "paradox": even though it's possible to randomly pick a rational number from the reals, the probability of this happening is 0.

On the first point, I've spent a lot of time tayloring for jobs in question and never got more than a form letter of rejection, if any, even though it was a short note of alignment with abilities.

And, you're flat out wrong about the 'longest part' of applying for a job if you have to go through each company's individual "Job Applicant System" and fill out basic info over and over and over because the auto-fill systems are garbage 80% of the time. Redundant data entry is overwhelmingly the worst part, and Employers/HR people love to pretend that's not the case.
Also isn't "OATH" like the group that standardized TOTP?
> plugged into an external GPU and running desktop-grade applications

Games?

I have a hard time envisioning what would require a GPU beyond what's available on an iPad.

<oldfart>

My NeXT cube had a 25 MHz single core CPU, no GPU and a megapixel display and was pretty darn "desktop grade" or rather "workstation grade". OK, higher resolution, color. But also a 2+ GHz dual core (later: hexacore) 64 bit CPU and a pretty darn powerful GPU. Where are all these cycles going?

I'm happy to be glib about it.

Undermining your grandmother's ability to defend herself is worth it if the policy that does so statistically reduces violence (or even statistically reduces the consequences of violence).
My experience was that my trackpads worked perfectly with 12.04 and 14.04, but in 16.04 they changed the driver to... something that uses 'synclient' to adjust parameters. And this was a disaster; there are some 60 params that affect operation, and many of them have completely non-working defaults (like you sweep your finger across the touchpad and it randomly selects stuff).

I tried for weeks to try and find some synclient settings that made my trackpad work as well as it did in 12.04, to no avail. I have another machine still running 14.04 (don't ask) and the trackpad still works perfectly.

I tried posting on StackExchange, but I am apparently the only person (besides you?) that cares about Linux support for trackpads, or has trouble with the support in the current driver.

So yes, I'll second your comment about Linux on the desktop.
> Yes, the majority has that rights. Again, the common name for that is democracy.

I believe individual rights and human rights are supreme. I don't believe a majority, or a democratically elected sovereign, has the right to curtail the freedoms and rights of individuals. That's what being discussed here.

By your moral framework, the German people, who elected Hitler into power, had every right in the world, to murder and slaughter millions of Jews, Roma, Slavs/Poles, and others.

What a terrible moral framework.

> who I can hire

No, restricting who I can engage in commerce with, or really any sort of interpersonal relationship, is a violation of my freedom. I believe people are free to engage in any form of human interaction with others, as they see fit. You have no fucking right to dictate who I decide to be friends with, hire, etc.

> ... one of many ideologies in this world. It doesn't have a status of the only truth ...

I'll just point you to my other comment for this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14545935

> For you that means, that the majority of your co-citizens decided on some rules and if you break them, yes, violence may ensue, until you stop breaking them.

Suppose, I lived in the mid-1800s, and the majority of my co-citizens decided to pass the Fugitive Slave Act. I am against slavery, and I believed that that law was immoral, reprehensible, and wrong. What do I do? Comply with law? Fuck that. I would have fought against it, with violence, if necessary. All I'm asking for is that you respect basic human rights, nothing more. If you can't do that, honestly, I am justified in using violence against you, to defend myself against your acts of violence against me.
The ACLU tends to be pretty good. I'd argue that per-dollar, they're probably more effective than the NRA, since they focus on direct court battles (and do so smartly) than lobbying.

unfortunately, since svg is a web standard, it can reference external objects

that severely limits its adoption with people that spend all their days defending the idea of 'attack surface'. so google draw uses svg, and exports svg, but won't import svg. github won't inline svgs in md, etc

i don't personally like the svg design, its got a lot of weird corners and has the usual screwy relationship with the DOM. but having a fully neutral vector format would be such a massive win, by all means svgs if you can get it more widely adopted...maybe some sort of sanitized/sandboxed svg subset.

postscript should have been that format, but they were so focussed on driving rasterization that they made any kind of other interpretation (i.e. editing) impossible.
I experienced this recently. Crashed my bike, and broke my wrists. Had about a month where I could only type with one finger at a time, or gently use a touchpad.
I thought it would be fine, since I could take my time and think things through fully in my head before typing the code. Instead, I found it so difficult - as if I could only think as quickly as I could type.
Re: your second point, it is strictly synchronous, though since there are 8 GPUs per process (thus have 1 process per machine) the gradient reduction is done in 3 phases. First they are reduced within the process, then across processes/machines, and then broadcast within the processes.
