Um, what was it? You can paste in decimal to avoid triggering the PC brigade ;)
I realize it's super early, and this look interesting, but I'm unable to figure out if "cloud" in this case means:

- Runs in a Browser for the purposes of editing files locally

or

- Runs in a Browser and we have a whole backend way of spinning up a VM/Docker/something for you to do things with as well (The new defunct https://www.nitrous.io/ did this so you could do things like remotely run pg, your Rails stack, etc.)

Both are good/bad for different reasons, mostly just curious.
Not all management problems are the same. Which brings us back to my original comment: maybe Swift and Autopilot are very, very different projects.
Yesterday at 6:00PM I realized I had no pressing business or personal things to get done but it felt very odd trying to decide what to do with that time. It almost felt like wasted time if I didn't do something productive with it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who told you that a company had to make money to issue stock?
I have the same opinion with Cegłowski and I too prefer plain web-sites, but I especially tried to avoid controversy. People, or rather developers, seem to happily exchange lightweightness for more features and media-rich web-sites.

I think Google was right in suggesting AMP, since web-pages were becoming increasingly inaccessible to people with bad/slow Internet connection, but Google was also wrong in restricting it to mobile devices. Lastly, as Cegłowski also said, AMP depended far too much on Google rather than being an open standard that works across browsers.

Marketing B2B

Remote

I have ready a quite expensive IoT product that I only need to sell.

The product is already used in a company and I am already making contacts with other companies that may be interested.

I would need somebody taking care of the social/marketing/sale part of the project so I can keep improving the technical part.
Because Unicode is not about completing arbitrary sets people would like to see. It's about encoding characters either having appeared in other encodings (to allow legacy encodings to be easily convertible to Unicode), or characters that are in actual use. The existing subscript and superscript characters were never intended to provide a full Latin alphabet (which subset, anyway?). Some are used in IPA, some are used in other contexts or scripts, but in general nothing actually requires all Latin letters. There's also some Greek, some Cyrillic, a few Hanzi, and a bunch of characters that are not used in any script. Which set would you like to »complete« again and to what end? If it's just about having something that looks the part, then markup is preferred over plain text. The existing set serves a number of purposes but none of them are lacking more characters. Usually there has to be a fairly convincing need for encoding more characters and »I'd like to be able to write some text completely in subscript or superscript« doesn't tend to be a convincing argument.
Brakes and drivetrain are either much simpler or experience far less wear on an electric car.

And your point about how good internal combustion engines are for the price is exactly what I said earlier. It's pretty amazing that we HAVE been able to make ICEs so cheap and (relatively) reliable, considering how complex they are with so many moving parts.

The fact that Tesla had teething issues with their early electric motors does not change the fact that fundamentally, brushless electric motors are simpler, more wear resistant than internal combustion engines in principle by a huge margin.

Tesla isn't the only one who will be able to take advantage of the simplicity of a pure electric drivetrain.
Interesting point, you're right that hard-wired can be seen as a metaphor, but I'm curious why you think it's misleading. I was referring to our evolved state, and my belief that our evolved state has mechanisms that fear not having enough food. If there's a problem with what I said, it's not the metaphor, it's what I believe. I can use biology terms instead of electrical terms, but I'd be saying the same thing. We are, in fact, evolved to crave sex and food. I don't think any biologist or anthropologist would disagree with that. Do you think using the term "hard-wired" instead of "evolved" is misleading?
Wow. OP has told his story and asked for advice. You've decided with no evidence whatsoever that he's "not innocent in this" and that the accuser is the victim. Horrible.

I don't know who the accuser is and neither does OP. Taking a guess as to what might be going on with her is not "attacking her character". It's an attempt to assess OP's situation with a thought of what to do next.

He/or she doesn't have to freak out and demand you stop to be "not OK with it". You clearly wouldn't be OK with your SO doing this despite saying you are, and she'd likely pick up on your feelings.

Completely unrelated, but am I the only with an impression that MS has switched Windows into a rolling release OS (like Gentoo or Arch) with infinite updates of Windows 10? This would be a genius move to solve the issue of the users remaining on the old unmaintained release like it was with XP, and like it is now with 7.
Phantom | Front End Developer | London, UK | ONSITE, Full-Time, http://phantom.land

Phantom is a forward thinking digital creative agency based in Old Street, London, United Kingdom. We are currently on the hunt for mid/senior front end developers, especially those with a more creative side.
We don't put our developers in a box, but expect them to be involved from strategy to delivery, working collaboratively with the entire team to find unique solutions to some amazing briefs. To help facilitate this we have our own bar in the office (with no locks on the fridge!) and the cupboards are always stocked with snacks and treats. Most importantly we have an awesome development and creative team in place and are looking for more like-minded people who will keep pushing the agency forward.

A small sample of the technologies, languages and frameworks we use include AngularJS, Three.js, Django, Flask and Google App Engine. Some recent projects we've worked on include a Cardboard VR Experience for Google (http://phantom.land/work/petra/) and an interactive piece for the TATE Modern featuring music by Sigur Rós (http://phantom.land/work/states-of-matter/).

Please check out our site (http://phantom.land) for more info. Alternatively send matt@phntms.com an email directly with your CV and any relevant information. Would love to see any recent or personal projects in your email.
Stellenticket GmbH | Ruby on Rails Full Stack Developer | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE, INTERNS, VISA, SALARY:50k EUR, https://www.stellenticket.de/?lang=en

We are looking for a full stack Ruby on Rails developer to work with us here in our Berlin office. Stellenticket is a completely self funded TU Berlin startup from 2009, being profitable since the beginning. We develop and provide web software as a service for mostly German universities (B2B). Our two main products, Stellenticket Jobportals and Congeno (a CRM) are already in use in production since 2010 (Jobportals) and 2016 (Congeno), but are still constantly improved. Besides those two projects we use several smaller Rails apps ourselves to organize our work (like a simple time tracker and a task manager). We also have some other products in our pipeline where we need your help to develop and finally release them into production until the end of the year.

Our software is currently based on Ruby on Rails 5.1.x and we usually use the following stack:

- Slim or Haml as the HTML template engine for simple views
- Vuejs 2.x for complex views (keyword: webpacker)
- SCSS
- Simple SCSS framework like Bourbon with Bitters (*no* Bootstrap or so)
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Rspec for unit tests
- Capybara with Selenium for browser and feature tests

You will join a small developer team which currently consists of one full time developer and two part time (student) developers, so you can be sure you will have a big impact in the team. With it comes some responsibility, though, because it will be your job to bring the development of your project forward at every stack level, be it the backend, database, frontend or CSS. You will constantly learn new things during your work, because nobody can be an expert in all those fields - but you can improve always.

We try to release usable prototypes with minimum functionality fast, so our products are in use and we get feedback fast, and then gradually develop them further.

Project code is completely hosted on our self run Gitlab instance, including automatic CI run after every push, linting with Rubocop (and some other linters depending on the stack used), automatic deploys to staging and production environments, and review of every merge request by at least one other developer.

If you are interested, please e-mail your resume to Markus Doits, apply@stellenticket.de, with the keyword "HN RoR 2017-07". If you have any questions, feel free to contact us too.

I think the second, because of this line from the article:

"So you would build one application and run it in both contexts. Theia even supports a third mode, which is a native desktop app connecting to a remote workspace."

Which implies the browser version is connection to a remote workplace by default.
I get that this post is sarcastic/satirical, but it still feels like you're disagreeing with me?

Understand that it is isn't required to be set to change files, it is only required to be set to change a block on disk which has been marked as protected. If your OS marked nothing as protected it would never have to be set.

If you look at the time stamp history of your 'system' files on a windows system (C:\Windows\System\*) you will see that the files have a change frequency of approximately once every 3 to 6 months.

That would correlate with when you would need to flip the switch to allow an update (ie very rarely, like 2 or 3 times a year).

Their comment section since last year has devolved into Reddit style one-liners (especially political articles). The articles are really average these days.

The one I'm really worried about is Anandtech, the articles are still excellent but they're so understaffed(A10 chip deep dive was canceled, behind on Mac reviews)
Well you can still "design REST" on top, right? But it could mean some duplicated efforts.

Actually, after having tried a few times, I'm pretty sure I don't want to put REST ideas at the center of my architecture. You just happen to need a network transport, and not even in all cases (debugging for example). And an existing model is never going to be able to represent all the concepts of your application domain. This means that you need to build your own representations.

In theory there is a point of using a standardized object protocol which can represent some CRUD use cases. But from my limited experience I think it breaks pretty quickly, to the point where I can use only GET and POST.

Using protocol layers of increasing specificity may make it easier to use existing tooling with data exchanges. For example, many APIs use HTTP statuscodes as a more coarse-grained version of the return codes in the body (in an ad-hoc format). Also caching is often brought up as an example where you want to buy in to a standardized protocol.

But some APIs don't buy in, like Facebook, which reportedly returns 200 OK always. It seems like a lot of best-effort work with little returns to me as well. But I don't know - I'm not a professional business software guy.

Yeah that's the most perplexing thing with those ICOs IMO. We could argue all day whether this and that idea has some merit or not, but many of those start ups end up raising orders of magnitude more money than they should ever need to build their thing. Many of these projects could be completed by a modest team in a few months. That's just absurd and a complete waste of resources.
Who gave access to the UK regulator to determine whether the shared data is ok to be shared or not!?
Any comments on https://www.dropmark.com/?
Thanks- I'll look into that.
It's the latter, the backend process (that exposes the filesytem etc) can be anywhere and the frontend (browser or electron) will connect to it over tcp.

How you setup vms/docker or something is up to you however as long as the theia backend (nodejs) can run in it.
CRX is a car that is quite frequently modded the crap out of because the engine is capable of substantially more HP than it puts out standard, you'll also find these engines in many other custom builds (super popular in souped up classic minis for instance).

They'll definitely go fast (even in the standard setup) but I'd really hate to have anything unexpected happen at those speeds. Even in a larger and more stable car that would be taking your chances but in a CRX you'd be in little pieces all over the road, just a deer would make you really wish you were somewhere else.

I've driven a little Daihatsu Copen (660 CC, 63 HP, a bit over 800 Kg), which was a ton of fun to drive and would go quite fast (on the GPS about 175), it's mere inches off the ground so it feels much faster still. But I always realized that I'm playing the lottery when doing that.

Coming back from Poland to NL one night through Germany I came upon a bunch kids in their CRX's going flat out on the autobahn, I could keep up with them easily because of the better handling of the Copen but on the straights they definitely had the advantage. Wicked fast for such small cars.

The fact that this is on "fxempire.com" is really all you need to know, isn't it?

FX trading and daytrading are two forms of legalized gambling for the upper class, so it makes sense that the same crowd will be interested in cryptocurrency. Such people are generally aware they are speculators and participating in a high-risk activity, so, fine. But what I worry about is the "dumb money" that follows. I saw Twitter ads for a "Bitcoin IRA" today. If you're putting your retirement savings in Bitcoin...
