I’ve long held that there are two types of documentation.

- One, like this and JSDoc, is structured documenting of the code interface. It’s a reference tool.

- Two, is a more free form documenting of intent. Commented source code tools like Docco serve this well.

Both are useful in different situations and don’t replace each other. For 3rd party tools the former is more useful, for internal - the latter.

Unfortunately the parsers for each are usually mutually incompatible and I really wish there was a tool that supported both.
Even if they are unrelated you can still use one GOPATH...

A law isn't going to magic peoples coins back if they hit send to the wrong address.
Technically there can be up to 16PB of memory in all their 64-bit systems, I just don't think IBM is going to sell you more than 32. The Z13 definitely sold up to 20TB, though half that was usually for redundancy.
You have a fax system at your house and even that gets spam? I can't imagine that those are widespread enough to make that profitable for the scammers.
Cash has transaction costs too. You have to store the cash in a local safe. You have to pay for counting and accounting of the cash. You have to pay for safe transport of cash from onsite to offsite. You have to pay for trust, because disappeared cash is generally unrecoverable.

As long as there is no difference between the cash price and card price, it's rational for a customer to use a card with rewards. And I have never seen anything outside of gas with differential pricing. And you know what? I just avoid those gas stations as much as possible, because I can pay a similar price at another station and get my cash back.
Software team lead / manager. Aside from the self-evident non-role-specific stuff (browser, email, slack):

Super simple idea but laughable implementation - people trying SQL injections and just spamming the shit out of it means it becomes completely useless.

You are wrong. ios does not have support for it. Not in safari nor chrome. I have tested it extensively. It is scheduled for inclusion in next ios release. Chrome and firefox on Android both support it and have for ages.
This strategy is likely to make your employer keep you until they can find a replacement at their convenience.
I don't really know why this is being downvoted, BTC and cryptocurrencies are really interesting economically. Even if they have no direct impact on society as a whole it's valuable to see proposed alternatives to our banking and financial systems put forward and discussed in detail (e.g. it really exposes what a bank / government actually provides)
Here's a reference to what was actually passed, which confirms your statement: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm...

In section 2.1, "All providers of
online pornography, who are making available pornographic material to
persons in the United Kingdom on a commercial basis, will be required
to comply with the age-verification requirement​." So advertising funded sites fall outside the remit.
"Might work somewhere else. I always felt blackmailed in a situation like this"

Are you fucking stupid? Your employee is giving you a chance to retain them. They want to work for you, but can't make it work financially, and you're turning your nose up at them? For what reason? It's probably going to cost you the money to hire someone new that it would've taken you to retain them! I will never understand this line of thinking.

And, no, I don't buy the line that companies can't find the money for their payroll. Not when corporate savings are at an all time high.

> 1. If the employee is only motivated by money, he will be gone rather sooner than later as there is always a higher offer around.

So? What have you lost then? You upped their pay for a short period of time and now they're gone. Big deal. You've lost an employee who didn't want to work for you anyway. Seems like a fine outcome.

> 2. If you give in once to this, the employee will come back 6 months later with demanding the next pay rise.

OK, and if it's unreasonable, they're probably going to have a hard time getting it. Or you won't be able to retain good talent. I'd say if it's the latter, you might want to restructure your exec bonus structure.

> 3. You might have done something wrong in the past. An employee who can envision herself in the company in some years in a different role with personal development and fair pay rises (see 4.) does not leave.

First off, I like that you say "her" as though you're not part of the problem in the .75/$1 shortchanging for women (hint: it comes absolutely from companies being tight gripped on their payroll and playing hardball in salary negotiations). That aside, I'm not sure I get your point here. You're saying you wouldn't provide a pay increase, and here you're saying that your employee's perception of that being the case might be a problem. Gee, I wonder how they would've gotten that perception...

> 4. You might also have no transparent pay rise process in place and clear guide lines why people have which salary. You might also have a wide band of salaries, which will bite you sooner or later.

Yet again, not sure how this affects the instance where an employee comes to you asking for a pay rise commensurate with offers they're receiving. Seems like a good time to get your pay structure under control.

5 and 6 seem to be tips all of a sudden on how to be a worthwhile compensator, so I'll ignore those.
Unless you run a non-profit, your company is also motivated by money and all your work and mission are only means to an end, which is to maximize the shareholders profit. That's why the company was founded, right?

Of course you have the right to deny a rise and let the employee go, maybe it really doesn't fit in your budget and/or you can hire someone else for less, but don't talk like the employee is wrong for searching a opportunity to grow.
Strangely, after I found out how the fire suppression systems in those rooms work[1], I always felt safer in the two story server rooms. It felt like you had more time to make it to the door.

1) look up Halon (old) or FM-200 (environmentally ok)
I think the value of unions and professional organizations in these discussions is something that gets too little attention.

One of the most important reasons software development is not like actual engineering is because the practices associated with actual engineering aren't valued in the world of software, even though the political components of employment (e.g. loyalty, longevity at a company) are considered signals of high(er) quality.

The vast majority of developers simply don't have quality employment options for most of them to consider long-term (> 3-4 years) employment with a single company to be a good economic or career decision.
I wonder who would actually use a proven inferior, troubled document store (MongoDB) on a high-end, state-of-the-art, really expensive mainframe.
Which is why changing jobs is the only way to get paid what you're worth: management has neither the backbone nor the incentive to price things properly. So instead we perform the cognitive hack of two underpaid employees trading jobs, because as you said, "The easiest time to give an employee a raise is during hiring."

I figure the only way to really fix this 'the only way to get a raise is to leave for a year' method is to figure out how to include retention in engineering manager's perf evaluation.
> What else would they be motivated by? It's not their hobby.

Working conditions (am I expected to be on call/respond to contact outside of hours), vacation time, flexibility in work from home and in leaving for appointments, how in traTed by my colleagues or other teams (does the sales department continuously overpromise and put me under fire?). The office space - I'd rather be in an open plan with my own "area" than in a cubicle farm with 500 other employees and no natural light.

Obviously pay is important but I'm not going to jump ship for a 5% raise if it comes with a worse work/life balance. Also, not everyone lives in San Francisco. There aren't _too_ many companies hiring c++ programmers in my area, so I'd go through them all in 5 years and probably annoy a lot of people along the way. Personally, for something that takes up so much of my time (40 hours a week) I'd rather be comfortable and get on with the people I share a working space with, than have them waiting for me to jump ship in 6 months
AKA money laundering? I mean, I guess if you're into wildly illegal actions, sure.
Checklist for starting a nonprofit
Reading data out of an enclosed file is much less of a problem than altering that data without damaging the file. All you need for “screening” and “claiming” is to read out the keys and check if the funds have already been transferred out on the blockchain and, if not, transfer them out. There's no alteration to the file content involved.

Destroying the keys requires altering the file while leaving it functional, which requires more than reverse engineering the tool, because the tool doesn't need that capacity.
I don't think that's true? Admittedly You could perhaps parse the statute[0] in a way that might imply it. But I think the point is that if you give aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States that you fall under the definition regardless of whether you are officially in a war or not.

Bundle Buddy: Data visualization explanation
This seems to ultimately come down to an idea that folks have a hard time shaking. It is entirely possible that you cannot recover the original signal using machine learning. This is, fundamentally, what separates this field from digital sampling.

And this is not unique to machine learning, per se. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-noncitizen-voters... has a great widget that shows that as you get more data, you do not necessarily decrease inherent noise. In fact, it stays very constant. (Granted, this is in large because machine learning has most of its roots in statistics.)

More explicitly, with ML, you are building probabilistic models. This is contrasted to most models folks are used to which are analytic models. That is, you run the calculations for an object moving across the field, and you get something within the measurement bounds that you expected. With a probabilistic model, you get something that is within the bounds of being in line with previous data you have collected.

(None of this is to say this is a bad article. Just a bias to keep in mind as you are reading it. Hopefully, it helps you challenge it.)
Businesses Grow More Vulnerable to Insider Threats
$1.5 Billion, made up of many smaller transactions (~USD 15.5k on average according to this site [0]).

A number of large transactions to convert that much ETH to USD, would significantly affect speculator confidence, triggering others to sell.

> but, in US, with credit card and Apple/Android Pay, I am pretty much cashless as well

The thing is though is that the US has a habit of getting these things decades after they're introduced.

The US has just started EMV rollouts and it's still the only country that depends on signatures. Most of the developed world has had EMV with a PIN for what, 15 years now?

Contactless payments have been widespread in Australia (home) for at least 5 years and by "widespread", I don't mean a few particular retailers support them, I mean everything from the independent coffee or fish and chip shop down the street to every major supermarket chain, cinema, Starbucks and McDonald's.

The US is just barely keeping itself 5-10 years behind the rest of the world.
Having the sender pay the fee seems like an obstacle for consumer adoption. I agree that consumers are never going to use cryptocurrency vs. credit cards to pay if:

1) It costs them money to use
2) No cashback

It would be interesting to test a cryptocurrency where the recipient payed the fee, and could optionally send cashback. I'm not exactly sure how this would work, but the incentive structure would more optimally aligned for everyone involved.
It's hard to tell because the World Bank is so young in the history of nations. Certainly in the short term things are less painful, but having your country's natural wealth siphoned off by other countries (or in many cases absurdly wealthy individuals/companies) has the potential to create real and systematic harms.

We could imagine, for example, a United States that became and remained very poor after having all its natural wealth siphoned off by European firms under predatory terms during the Great Depression. It's hard to tell if the world would've been a better or worse place (maybe the profits would've been reinvested into stabilizing Germany's internal politics), but certainly US citizens would be much worse off today.

On the other hand, could a World Bank have saved Germany from Nazism and ended the world wars after episode I? Probably. Who really knows.
Wow, that's like 100% scripted to please the target audience
If I wanted to grab an altcoin like Nxt/Ardor -- would it be safer to buy bitcoin now, or wait till Segwit when it could become cheaper? Nxt/Ardor and all crypto's are downward spiral now--because of the bitcoin split coming, so I feel now's a buyers paradise.. and Nxt/Ardor chains look very promising from a tech standpoint.
It's funny because I can't believe how much effort some people spend to build guis in graphical editors. Guess it's a preference thing
Obviously it's early. No reason there we can't have. Stable store of value as cryptocurrencies mature.

Regarding bank whims, if you're a properly banked person who's never had an issue, great. If you've never had trouble with the IRS or anyone else who can take your money by force- great. But that's not everyone.
I was a bit surprised by the crash, I would have sold and buyed back cheeper. But I thought the information was already in the price. I could imagine someone tried to make it crash hard by selling a lot and creating a panic, and failed.
The problem with your question is that we can deal only with averages and statistics rather than with individuals. We might find that X increases the average lifespan of humans by 10 years, but that's no guarantee that it will help any particular individual human at all.

That said, I suggest jogging regularly; just don't get hit by a bus.

> Mobile payments haven't taken off in the west because credit cards have worked well enough

USA != the west. Paying by credit card is pretty uncommon in large parts of Europe. Most stores I frequent don't even accept credit cards. But debit cards with pin&chip and now wireless NFC pin&chip is very popular.

I hardly ever use cash, but the only reason I have a credit cards is for some US webshops.
I will give it a try this weekend, thanks!
That claim is simply not true.
Maybe I don't understand something?

John Doe, random employee working for Universal Studios leaks an advance copy of "The Revenge of the Avengers: The Revengers Strike Back" to their contact XPirateSepirothX for 250$ (or for free because they really want to get back at their boss for laughing at them).

XPirateSephirothX passes on the watermarked movie to their friendly neighbourhood reencoder IAmBecomeDeath who notices the watermark strips it, and reencodes the movie for general consumption.

The pirating public receives an unwatermarked copy and cannot claim any prize. IAmBecomeDeath, XPirateSephirothX and John Doe have no incentive to claim the prize because they will implicate themselves in copyright violation.

Are they implying the watermark is impossible to remove? That seems unlikely to me as pirates can be quite enterprising (and there may be some money on the line for them as well), so I'd expect them to reverse engineer the process and figure out how to strip it. Heck, this company is even offering an application that checks if the watermark is present or not which should at least give the pirates a measurement on whether their watermark removal method worked (on at least some version of the watermark detection logic).

Or maybe the plan is to play a constant game of cat and mouse, Custos will continually switch up their methods for watermarking and so the pirates will never be sure if they caught and successfully stripped the latest and greatest version of the watermark, preventing some piracy through uncaught watermarks and some piracy through fear?

We migrated there from Bamboo Cloud when Atlassian discontinued it. It's nearly a direct drop-in replacement, and they even had docs specifically about Bamboo migrations. Their customer support during onboarding was also superb, and they've been responsive to feature requests. We've been using it for almost a year now, and overall we're pretty pleased.

I think Zendo is better with a set of basic lego blocks (1x1, 2x1, 2x2) in 3 colours. It's easier to construct and build things.

But fundamentally it is an incredible game in whatever form you play.
I can think of at least two real-world uses where cryptocurrency is a better choice than fiat: (1) sending money overseas with very low transaction fee, and (2) transacting on the black market.

This is an existing desktop application built years ago (10+) and went through many updates over the years.

Lot of business specific customisations are also in. Hence, can't ditch it and go for a generic solution at this stage.
I was just about to say I remember a lot of speculation was that FFXIV was done this way. I luckily didn't have too many issues with the original version on the Mac but it did randomly quit and it ran very hot.

I haven't tried the new version but I'm okay with getting these versions that are degraded instead of not having a game. Which makes me wonder how they're doing this nearly flawlessly on consoles. There has to be some performance hit due to making the game work with the various translation layers but in reality I hardly notice them. Would be nice if they could get it that performant with Mac.
It won't magic anything, the person gets caught and court makes a ruling like every other criminal action. That's like saying that laws can't magic a stolen bag of cash in a getaway car back to it's rightful owner. You're right that it's not magic, it's the justice system. And if they don't have the coins, they have to sell assets or go bankrupt.

On the one hand I agree. On the other, that's probably less data than Google collects from Android devices in Manhattan per second. Essentially, the judge has prevented the Justice Department from obtaining mineable data and made it harder for the Justice Department to provide statistical proof for a pattern of behavior (if it exists).

What I find interesting in the way this story is being headlined across media outlets is that the headlines imply that the judge has ruled regarding the merit of the case rather than as an administrative ruling regarding discovery.

I'm guessing that my snide remark about reinventing the banking system didn't really help my case but I couldn't resist.

But yeah, technically and economically it's pretty fascinating I think. The only downside is that the very high valuation makes it hard to have a reasonable discussion with people on either side of the fence. It's not longer a fun classroom experiment when billion of dollars are involved.
