Cryptocurrencies are the ultimate hedge against central banks banning cash. And that is almost a guaranteed event judging by increasing AML/KYL tightening in regulation. Only time will tell if it will be Bitcoin that turns out ahead of all other cryptocurrencies in the long run.
I've failed dev interviews for dressing too up and too down (both oddly in the same search!). If you can ascertain the standards ahead of time it's definitely helpful. In the absence of trusted guidance my current policy is a suit no tie and a shirt colored other than white and stubble or beard. It certainly won't tick everyone's boxes but if someone is looking for evidence that you own a suit it's there, and if they're looking for evidence that you're not trying to win the job through pageantry it's there. If they're looking for some more specific aesthetic qualifications they should have specified.
You are significantly overestimating. According to the ski industry itself, which tends to use a fairly generous definition that includes things such as cross-country skiing, only around 7% of Americans ski: http://www.planetski.eu/news/4090

And many of these are people who live in day-trip distance of ski areas rather than renting or owning second homes, so the proportion in that market is even lower.
Good job for the website though! It'll be very helpful to many people.
I would propose that an alternate explanation is that when the processes are actually separate in deployment, you filter out strong personalities (or management types who are overly involved in things outside their area) from dominating the development process as well.

Stopping someone working in one area from deciding they just don't like the look of the other is a benefit or all its own.
How do you know who is taking care to appear that they don't care? Some people really don't care.
Wow. A failing state pimps it’s resources. This is terrible.
I sometimes wonder if I dressed better if I would be further along in my career, but honestly I think it's just made it really easy for me to identify people who understand and value my work.

There's this one guy high up in my company who I'm almost entirely convinced got his job because he wears nice suits and has an English accent. We have junior employees who know more about his area of speciality than he does.
Funny you should ask. I just looked into this:

I don't think you have looked at Pandas that closely. For example, Pandas has multiple ways to persist besides a flat file, including to SQLite and HDF5. - http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/io.html

It's also aware of the relational data model. The 10 minute intro at http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/10min.html?highl... says:

"pandas provides various facilities for easily combining together Series, DataFrame, and Panel objects with various kinds of set logic for the indexes and relational algebra functionality in the case of join / merge-type operations."

and http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/comparison_with_... gives a mapping of basic SQL operations to Pandas.

There is also some caching. The documentation mentions things like "A large range of dates for various offsets are pre-computed and cached under the hood in order to make generating subsequent date ranges very fast (just have to grab a slice)" and "Bug in Series update where the parent frame is not updating its cache based on changes".

Perhaps you can think of it as an in-memory relational database without SQL or a declarative language but instead has an imperative API for Python, containing a large number of helper functions not in most RDMSes but which are important in data analysis. Think of it as a database engine where the user has control over the internal memory layout so C extension and other code (a "cartridge" or "datablade", if you will) can work with it directly.

Supposed you want to read a CSV into a data frame, compute the difference between column "X" and "Y", and show those differences as a histogram. That's one line of Pandas. How do you do that in a RDBMS?
>Getting a degree does not preclude you from starting a business

I would argue that it does. When you get a degree, you are mostly being guided into thinking patterns of academics i.e. the people who most likely did not pursue business... or worse condemn business in some way.

Even if starting your business requires several years of academic knowledge, I think it is much better if you start it without a degree anyway and then take courses along the way. That way, you will have a much better context for what you are learning because you can immediately apply some of it.
I disagree with this, but only because it makes the assumption you're working with a single core type language, like java, python or C++.

I think if you design fault tolerant micro service based services with something like the erlang BEAM VM, things will workout well, since you're being very careful about message passing from the beginning.
It seems that way but in practice it seems to be an issue.

I mean we're actually doing things like eating all the nice fish in the ocean, chopping down all the Forrest for farm land, then there is the idea that people do need some space to be happen, living in the city is easier when you know you can escape to a secluded place, but that's becoming harder to do.
This might be appealing as a JV between a small number of people who are already experts in cryptocurrencies, probably already millionaires from BTC, putting together a new coin that solves a unsolved problem but all founders on a equal footing.

8tracks could have a backup system that uses Github as the identity provider, the backup data wouldn't have to reside in a repo on Github. As a PSA to others using Github organizations and allowing login via Github, there is a setting you can turn on to require MFA for all the members of the org.

IT has the blue collars (cheap engineers, sales, support, it) in Ireland and they are staying no matter what (zero tax ftw) while all the expensive ppl who refuses Ireland relocation were in london.

but if London is not EU, now it makes everything too complicated. France already started to glob startups. Germany got two big fortune 500 and Switzerland another.

it's a matter of time until they all move. and take all the service cascade with them.

Our carbon emissions have been relatively flat for the past 30 years, with a very slight trend downward for the last 10. India and China still have billions of people just trying to get up to the level of wealth where they can expect to regularly eat 1 or 2 meals per day. They're just getting started.

I like wearing a dress shirt and wool pants because I like looking good. I'm not allowed to wear a tie (heavens forbid a coat) because I'll scare the other engineers and developers. At my last job, I wore a dress shirt (with a collar) and jeans one day, and my coworkers made me go home and change into a t-shirt and jeans. Seattle/Redmond area btw, it's incredibly relaxed here.
The article didn't talk about the political context: the current president is facing corruption charges and a threat of impeachment and is buying support from congress by opening the government coffers (or what remains of it) and ceding to various lobbying groups.
It seems like a lot of the simpler styles - even as far back as the mid 1980s would probably work without sticking out a whole lot even now. I suppose there's a universal lesson of some sort in that.
Helmfon, a Privacy Helmet That Blocks Out Noise for Greater Productivity
I think that entity-relation diagrams are underused, especially when analysing requirements with stake holders.

Unfortunately a lot of otherwise capable people that could benefit from some simple structuring of things and their relations have never thought about the world in that way and may take a little while to catch up.

In some cases I have found it to be easier to represent one-to-many relations as a bunch of stacked boxes on the "many" side. But that only works once...

Sequence diagrams and state-charts helps from time to time, but does not really help much when talking to non-professionals.

But I don't really like the very formal UML. Some bubbles, arrows and crow's feet will do fine in most cases. The precision promised by UML is really a lie, as most diagrams are simplifications and can probably not represent the actual complexity in anything that warrants the use of UML...

Anyway, I think it might actually be a good idea to do some simple entity-relationship analysis in schools at some point, if not to just get another tool for sorting out the mess.

The underlying reason that led to OO-languages still exists, namely that a lot of things can be described rather nicely with entity-relation maps. It's just unfortunate that the "relation" part was forgotten, and all energy was spent on wrestling various languages into bizarre "OO" hacks such as C++.
> However, it did allow access to a system containing a backup of database tables, including this user data.

Sounds like they store backups with git and push them to GitHub (presumably Git LFS). Someone should tell them that Git is not a backup solution. It's also possible they were using some backup service that uses GitHub SSO (not sure if that's better or worse).

It's good to see they finally took advantage of GitHub's feature that restricts user access to an organisation if they don't have 2FA. Every organisation should enforce that.

Coding: The New Vocationalism
Many places do in theory require sales or lodging tax to be paid, but that's different than successfully collecting it. Compliance among AirBnB hosts with such taxes is especially low. That is a major reason for the amount of money spent, on both sides, on lawsuits over data. Many jurisdictions want AirBnB to turn over data about large renters, and AirBnB does not want to turn it over. Governments like NYC's have managed to collect a substantial amount of back taxes by suing AirBnB for data, prevailing, and then pursuing tax dodgers they're able to identify from the data. But that approach only really works for municipalities with legal departments as well funded as NYC's.

It's really never reasonable. Even if your VCS is already secure, inserting credentials means bringing it up to spec with actual credential storage policy, even if that means inconvenience to the developers - and if it's not inconvenient, your policy is probably too lax in the first place. There should be a total separation of concern between your code and user credentials.
> what lies beyond the surface

The disconnect I find as a westerner in Japan is that while we fetishize counter culture, there's so much codified "surface". We're obsessed with individualism, but that's a distorted lens to view Japan and much of Asia through. Universal conformity was the most unnerving attribute for me.

I think it's relevant to GGP's use of "completely broken" - collisions are far less useful than actually extracting the password string, since one is transferable and has long-term potential, and the other will probably lose all its value pretty quickly, especially with a change of salt.

Elon Musk: “There will not be a steering wheel” in 20 years
No problem! I'm notoriously incapable of guessing how much inflation has happened in the last {20, 30, 50} years. I was surprised it was only 1.5x (I had predicted ~2). I agree that CPI is a particularly clumsy measure (not mentioned is the fudge factor in how accounting for stock/option-based compensation has changed).

Your comment had the desired (ultimate) effect though: I really haven't been watching how much cash Facebook has been generating, and it's amazing to compare it to Microsoft at peak monopoly.
Seems like it'd be hard to market. Designs you can look at and immediately differentiate. Back ends, eh, how could you tell? Unless you're going all-in like Magento, with customer support and everything under the sun, what would you have to differentiate your solution?

Between that on one end and todomvc.com on the other, I don't see any middle ground that would interest anyone.

I think the better thing is like Heroku, with a platform and pluggable services, and you write your own code into it.
A variation on this would be to put the database behind a service that abstracted over the schema, though that only works for basic CRUD queries and not complex aggregations. This service would probably evolve from the monolith.
For a additional level of scary allow people to opt out but record who they are and compile a list. Use the list to deny them services or imprison when the next overthrow is attempted."You've been protesting and we noticed you blocked messages from our glorious leader... clearly a candidate for the labor camp"
regardless, text correction is a tool for the writer, not a tool for the reader. In general, text-correction does one of two things, it makes an error better, or it makes an error worse, unless you can guarantee that it only does the first thing, you have no idea what the total value of the operation will be.

Additionally, presumably its capacity to make an error better is not better than a human's capacity to make that error better. Even over very small timescales, tens of seconds, a computer confronted with a typo will never outperform a human confronted with the same typo.

Artists are doing amazing things on the Sketchfab platform and (as a browser implementer) I'm continually impressed by how hard their team is working to make their viewers work well in all the browsers! It's particularly hard with the spec only just now becoming compatible and getting tests working across them. There are still a lot of quirks to sort out (link navigation, rAF interactions, implementation-specific performance issues, etc.). They're doing great work!
While "inadequate" and "completely broken" are totally valid qualifiers for those hashing algorithms, the way in which they are broken doesn't affect sha1crypt or md5crypt (only a pre-image attack would break them, collisions are bad but not enough). That doesn't mean you should use them though (you should use bcrypt or similar).
Here is something I think we are close to agreement on. Companies have made food more addictive, cheaper, more shelf stable in a variety of ways, to the detriment of nutritious food and consumer health in general. But unless we put the focus on the real issues with modern food, I don't think we will see much if any progress. In fact, I suspect that food companies and food scientists are up to the challenge of making food that is just about as cheap and addictive and shelf stable as the current stuff is without using any "artificial" chemicals. I mean, when "nitrate free" bacon can be sold that is, in fact, chock full of nitrates, the possibilities are endless.
Keepass user here wanting to switch over to pass, this is exactly the missing piece of the puzzle I needed - thank you!
Absolutely not, it ties all of your information together trivially. People should just use password managers with a unique password for each website. Then you don't really about one site's bad security meaning that your security on another site is ruined (with SSO that's also an issue, you just trust the SSO provider more explicitly). You only care about whether data was accessed or modified with a particular service.
A great example of only considering your own needs and not those who will be maintaining the code alter. Yes, typing is fast and easy, but it's also locking everyone into a dead development path. That's why so many people in the creative industries have moved on from it.
Brazil is failing for roughly the same reasons as most of the rest of South America: excesses of state power, which are too attractive for business to pass up.

The economy is depressed by excessive policy, the people have bigger problems than the destruction of the Amazon. In addition, because the government owns the woodland, there's basically no reason to replant or maintain, which means that if you want lumber you have to go into old growth forest.

But worth mentioning that Azeri is a Turkic language, and probably the closest major relative to Turkish.
Capitalism saved the forests in North America, Brazil has a lot of state power and the corruption that comes with it. If the people of Brazil value the rainforest at all, it is a lower priority than whatever they are dealing with in their day to day life.

In North America, there is more forest cover than there was 200 years ago, thanks to private ownership and maintenance of woodlands.

Because of how productive these private woodlands are, there's largely no reason to cut down old growth forest.

You're only looking at one aspect of the end result, which is a fallacy of composition. Audio software also does 2d and 3d and 4d displays, provides complex UI, elaborate sequencing, and more.

Ignoring evidence in front of your face and inaccurately characterising the nature of the tasks performed is misleading yourself.

Also, I don't only do audio, that's just where I made my living for much of the last decade. It's because I had prior experience in other technological contexts that I'm telling you that flow-based programming is the best future paradigm.

Yes, except that a 4096 bit key is not just "one more bit", it's double the amount of bits.

No, it would require an impossibly large amount of effort to crack 4096 bit keys compared to 2048 bit keys.

Yes, look into Flowstone or NoFlow. Tools like this are very common in many niche domains; it takes some mental effort to pull back and see the limitations of path dependency in general purpose programming, and frankly an awful lot of people are ego-invested in their current way of doing things with no thought to the long term accessibility and maintainability issues.
