If anyone at Gitlab is reading this, please, please, please do something with the wide blank space at the top of the home page of a project.
The project logo, name and short description are really side information that you don't care when you are working everyday on the same projects.It is a waste of space that distract the user and does not let him jump right into the code.
Cheers and thank you
Your comment is baffling to me! The vast majority of people get their coffee and leave - at most they stay for a few minutes. They're paying to not make coffee themselves. A lot of people get drinks they can't easily make at home either.

And honestly at least in NYC none of the coffee shops near work are pleasant. They either have people that hog the tables or are just super loud because they're having meetings or blowing off steam. The ones near my home are nice though, I go read there.
Java is like Go with generics, exceptions, inheritance (which the author of Java thinks was a mistake), and a separate runtime (JVM).

Those four things alone are pretty big differences, and then there are more intangible yet important differences like stdlib and culture, and implicit interfaces. They are definitely in the same family, but not as closely related as you imply - they are not indistinguishable. I'd say the similarities are more in unimportant stuff like syntax, some of the differences are important.

The interesting thing about this is that it's a very lucrative market and I can see Google pushing this as part of their search results. They've going to have the same kind of Google Shopping or whatever it's called "problem".

If they put this thing front and forward they're going to drive a ton of people out of business just by their sheer visibility, as the Internet's front page.
I liked the Sun Microsystems Type 5 keyboard.
> For the latter, you are declaring your opinion as fact. Every language allows redundancy and variation of expression; if it truly provided no benefit, why have we not seen a popular language that only allowed a single expressive style?

It is indeed my opinion (as prefaced by 'I find myself disagreeing..') but the premise that a programming language benefits from resembling or mimicking features of natural languages is also an opinion.

Also I should note that your phrasing of the question isn't quite correct ("if it truly provided no benefit"), something that provides no benefit is unlikely to be excluded from a language (e.g. double negatives "there ain't nothing here to see!") unless there is a clear benefit to doing so, and in fact there are times that there is.

Particularly I would draw your attention to for example more limited lexicon sets (such as those used by dispatchers, rescue workers, climbers, EMT professionals etc.). Those explicitly exclude variation of expression, since that leads to an increased risk of being misinterpretation in often critical situations. It is my inclination that while interpretation of code isn't time critical, reducing variance (e.g. a common coding style does this as well) reduces cognitive load (makes comprehension more efficient).
Isn't the replacement for Android right now iOS? Still proprietary but Apple seems to take a much tougher stance on privacy.
As Workouts Intensify, a Harmful Side Effect Grows More Common

This is not for you. This is for your company to use. It's tied to Google Suite.
There are numerous examples of cooperatives, businesses that are run democratically, which are successful. Sure, no one amasses huge piles of money that way, just like nobody in a (effective) democracy amasses huge amounts of power. But that's kind of the point. Saying nobody with money thinks democracy is a good way to run a business is like saying no dictators with power think democracy is a good idea. It's not a criticism of democracy/cooperatives, it's an obvious statement of the motivations of dictators/business leaders.
I've gotten excellent customer service from them with Google Express. They certainly can offer good customer service where they choose to.
That link says right at the top, "The difference between this type of malware and a legitimate application with similar functionality is that the installation is done without the user’s knowledge."

I agree with @debatem1, this is not what "backdoor" commonly means, phishing does not count as "without the user's knowledge". Phishing is a trick to get in the front door.
Can someone point to the pure, ad-free fork?
I think you are over analyzing it and trying to find faults. At least two of the things you mentioned should be company policies, not values.

Values are things you push for, but might not attain (think aspirational goals), but policies are "set in stone" and if you don't follow them you're punished.

Using the examples you mentioned that are clearly policies, "don't bully other employees or pick on them due to their belonging to some protected class" is a perfect example of a policy vs value. That's clearly a policy and one that if didn't exist at a job, I'd never join said company. Bullying isn't something we strive not to do, it's something we must not do, or else be fired. Checking in broken code may get you a slap on the wrist the first time, but repeatedly do that and again you'll likely be punished.
Even without reading the article, this is what I came to add. Now they have a service of this nature, the need and urgency of saying goodbye to Google has increased tremedously.
IIRC Unicomp bought the actual tooling and design files for the Model M, work with some of the same contract manufacturers as IBM/Lexmark, and just didn't spring for the trademarks to be able to market it as "the" Model M.

A smart contract cannot hold USD because it doesn't exist on a blockchain. With USD, all you get is credit, and going through a Blockchain when the weak link is the USD debitor doesn't make much sense (blockchains are decentralized, credit is inherently centralized).

Secondly, blockchains are generally too slow due to their broadcast-all nature. There's really no reason to broadcast my coffee purchase to the entire world so they can embed it in history for all eternity. The merchant and me can keep the receipt if we want, but there's little reason for anyone else to participate, particularly if we want to do it cheaply/efficiently.
Honestly, this is a failure to write for your audience.

This is not an exercise in creative writing, you aren't trying to create atmosphere, you're trying to convey information. That sort of writing requires sentences that are direct and to the point. I will be reading that page because I'm interested in working for Stripe and want more information that helps me decide if I want to, not for entertainment. So I want to know the facts. The facts we're conveyed perfectly by the GP in bullet points but your sentences put more emphasis on Latvian can drivers' families. When I read this I'm trying to achieve something, I am thinking about working at Stripe right now, so when I'm reading this I don't care about Latvian can drivers. What I do care about "highly mission critical operation."
Federal. It was part of Dodd-Frank. That specific part was often referred to as the "Durbin amendment".

They're also not quite the same as a vintage Model M in terms of keyfeel or quality. And a Model M is not quite the same as a Model F. I'm typing on a Model M SSK right now, I have a Unicomp in the closet, and one of the keyboards mentioned in the article on order.
This is an excellent starting point. It's a bit less obvious than bans or restrictions on forfeiture, but it should have a major impact on helping innocent people keep their property. Entering the suit as a third party with a requirement to prove innocence is a bizarre and expensive obligation.
I'm not convinced, it's assuming a particular interpretation of risk. For people with great employment prospects, a company that still has a reasonable chance of failure is less risky than a safer company where they don't get to develop their skillset. For me, a risky job is one that doesn't make good strides towards lowering the impact that ageism is going to have on my career in a decade or so.
I have been using vim/neovim for 6 months now and thought that I was making a good use of the editor (I came from Atom and what a good decision that was). Now this just opened new ways of using the editor that I never knew. (I have only used %s/ command).

Must read for any vim user who has completed the beginner stage and wants more to learn. (Pure gold).

I can tell from your comment (and it's responses) that the language on our homepage is a bit confusing, so thank you for the feedback.

To answer you question: Common Voice is about building a collection of labelled voice data (ie. sentence clips w/ transcripts) that can be used to, for instance, train speech-to-text algorithms. Part of the goals of this project though is to figure out how this data can best help people build voice technology. So it's pretty open ended at this point.

Mozilla does have an open source speech-to-text engine [1] we are developing, and we hope one day to use the Common Voice data to train this engine. DeepSpeech and Common Voice are related, but separate projects, if that makes sense.

As for LibriSpeech, the DeepSpeech team at Mozilla does use this data for training. However, the language is pretty antiquated, and we only get about 1K hours of data, whereas you need about 10K hours to get to a decent accuracy (WER of 10% and below). Common Voice is about adding to public corpora like LibraSpeech, not replacing them.

That's if you want to trade in real-time, but a slow decentralized exchange still has value for casual buyers and sellers. An exchange is typically both a trading platform and a marketplace, but it doesn't have to do both to be useful.

Why is it useful to a company unless Google provides "value add" features that are better than thousands of other services for hiring.
Is there any good reason why splitting a hundred dollar keyboard would have to cost three times as much?

Anyway, I paid 30 euros for my last mechanical (with rgb lighting) shipped to my door. Patent expiration is a beautiful thing.
There are so many different kinds of products that are up-and-coming and releasing nowadays. Even if you’re using RSS reader, checking Facebook stream 20 times per day, and visiting homepages of your favorite blogs - you miss some important news/leaks/rumors about upcoming product you're interested in...

So, if shortly:

1. Many upcoming and releasing products

2. Even more online sources (some are trustworthy and some not very) who are constantly publishing news articles about these products

3. Each of us is interested (waiting) in some of the upcoming products but not ALL

We thought it would make sense to build Waitfeed – a website (apps in progress) that combines and covers each of the above-mentioned points in its own way.

1. News on Waitfeed is categorized for each specific upcoming product (eg. http://waitfeed.com/trending/news/iphone-8)

2. We’re fetching the latest news from various online sources, but not from every. Online sources for crawling are handpicked to avoid any “fake news.” For this point, we’ll rely on our community to help us by reporting any spam/fake news. Also, we expect to get suggestions about which publishers are trustworthy and will add them to our crawling.

3. You can choose which products you are interested in and subscribe only to those you care about. Then you’ll be informed about trending (or recent) news as soon as the news appears online (yes, our crawlers are working hard 24/7 :)).

This is it. Our idea is to keep it simple and make it work, so now is the time to get some early feedback from you folks. We’re open to any suggestions, critiques, questions, and of course upvotes :)
Since this is all personal opinion:

I hate laptop keyboards; I'd prefer a mushy keyboard over those. They always have an abnormally high activation weight for their throw, and the impact of my fingers bottoming out so rapidly (due to the force to overcome the butterfly mechanism) makes my fingers ache. Especially since it's happening dozens of times a minute for each finger. At least a mushy keyboard will cushion that impact somewhat.

With a long throw mechanical keyboard, however, the activation weight comes in much more gradually, and you don't need to bottom out the keys to get that activation.

Of course, more recent laptop keyboards which don't really have much of a throw (thinking the newest apple ones here) are a bit easier on the fingers, but the pressure required to activate them, and the lack of tactile feedback (but you still get the annoying audible click) makes life a lot less enjoyable to type on.
It is certainly annoying with how they try and nudge other products away in subtle ways.
Like like Firefox on Android, works really well. However on Google's search, they give you a stripped down version of their search results inferior to what Chrome gets.

Use an addon like this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-ua-on-...

And you find out that Firefox has no problem rendering the full featured chrome version.

I assume the only reason they do it is so that Firefox for Android users feel slightly inconvenienced enough to remain Chrome users.
Even when that was true (which, as a sibling comment notes, it is not anymore), it was common anyway.
>or if the paperwork looks good on the part of the dealer

Why should that be a defense for the dealer? If the paperwork was good enough to keep the dealer from being liable, then why should the buyer who bought from that dealer also be liable by having the car seized?

The Road from AXIOM Beta Developer Kit to Production Camera
Haven't read the article... but my response to you is that not every "contractual" agreement is voluntary. Think people working minimum wage jobs to feed their children, or children working in sweatshops in asia.

I get what you are saying... that it is a click bait title, but the fact remains that the late-stage capitalistic hierarchies that form are not totally unlike other labor systems (indentured servitude/slavery) that we have generally deemed as immoral.
Really? It doesn't seem that hard to understand what motivates Jeff Sessions--filling up private prisons and using police to terrorize poor and minority communities.
IDK how NLL's ACR works, but Android API doesn't expose audio output devices because it could lead to piracy issues, such as recording whatever is playing on Spotify. I don't think there's a way to bypass that, and if there were it would probably be banned from Google Play Store.

I was just about to select a recruitment management service. Both Lever and Greenhouse has "call us" pricing, and sadly Google Hire follows the same trend. Only Workable has a clear pricing page, which gives them a big plus in my book. Since we're on G Suite, Hire could be a natural fit but the requirement to book a demo (and the accompanying upside-down shaking to see how much money falls out of our pockets) is a big turn-off.

Would love to hear experiences from someone who has for example tried both Workable and Lever.
Only thanks to your issue I noticed that the main/most active developer of minimap is a Kite employee as well. He also didn't react so far.
thanks for the vote of confidence! yes we will absolutely open this data up, and it's just a matter of collecting enough data to be useful, and then building the UI. we have a goal of achieving this by the end of 2017, so stay tuned!

Funny because AMP was exactly the reason why I switched to DuckDuckGo (although https://encrypted.google.com is also a viable option).

One more thing to remember - Firefox for Android has AdBlock extensions (e.g uBlock). My personal experience with mobile ads is best described as vibrating, redirecting scams that just drove me nuts.

Why not have both? :) as far as "backup of human civilization" goes though, Mars has more potential: water, atmosphere (thin though it may be), higher gravity, and a day similar to earth. If the s ever htf on earth, a mars colony has a better chance of surviving one day without earth's help.

I guess for me the question is if that will matter or we get strong AI first.
This is what my shell prompt looks like:

Jeff Sessions is like an evil caricature of what an Attorney General should be. I hope this whole administration goes down and soon.

I believe this, like many things in the windows ecosystem, is deliberately confusing/takes advantage of linguistic ambiguity to create confusion in the observer and create a sort of implied sense or feeling of microsoft superiority...

E.g. having windows 1st sort of inflates the 'primacy' of windows with respect to linux; it is linux that is being made compatible with windows rather than the other way around.

Best things that come to mind are things from the windows UI - like the network privacy zones, having the 'basic' and 'advanced' control panel, etc.. Some things say 'windows is updating your computer' rather than 'your computer is updating windows' or some such... To me they have this sort of psychological undertone of 'always remember how microsoft is helping you make this confusing thing much easier.. you couldn't do it without us'

Well this has been somewhat a move of ignorance. Somehow in America Conservative Thought has over taken traditional Christian moderate thought. I am still amazed at the 180 degree turn that has happened the last 50 years.
A couple of years ago I read about some printer manufacturer evolving the shapes of their nozzles. Apparently the problem was nontrivial and rather than doing complicated analyses up front they found it more efficient to simply generate and fabricate random permutations of shapes and evolve them over many generations. The results were better than any human designed ones, apparently.

Yes, time is money, which is why I would prefer to outsource the boiler plate app code to someone else. Don't even bother looking to see if there's a "template" I can use (which inevitably I will find holes/flaws in and want to customize and then find out it's a pain to customize, and takes more time than if I originally developed it from scratch).
In a p2p environment, timestamps are totally useless at proving when I sent you bitcoins. However, when I sent you bitcoins is fundamentally important when it comes to ordering transactions, because I can send you bitcoins, but also send them to myself after you accept them. If I can forge timestamps then this attack is trivial to pull off.

You need an analogue to elapsed time to solve this problem. Hashes in bitcoin are probabilistic, there is an expected number of hashes required to solve the PoW (on average). Each hash takes an amount of time that cannot be made faster, so you suddenly have an unforgeable, easily provable analogue to elapsed time.
We've tried both greenhouse and lever, using greenhouse now, both were in the $300-$500/mo for the company, no limits on team size or number of job listings as far as I can remember. Honestly I was expecting much more for call us pricing. (We're a 50 person company, were probably ~35 when we started using applicant tracking systems)

A question I've always wondered -- If Google, or an employee at Google, used ML (or just classic techniques) to analyze the enormous, enormous troves of trojan horse data they have on the employees of virtually every organization across the globe, would it be illegal if they traded on that data? They could surely accurately call virtually any trend before anyone. They could see when morale at a firm drops, when hours drop, when employees start trying to get jobs elsewhere, etc. It is simply shocking the amount of data they have coalesced.

And while I generally have a good opinion on them, a product like this just seems like a step too far and risks threatening the trust users have in them.
Common Voice is only about collecting a large public database of voices. We do have a separate project around speech-to-text [1]. We haven't done much work around speaker recognition (AFAIK) or voice synthesis, but they are both very interesting both from a technical and privacy related standpoint. That said, both are out of the scope of Common Voice (which is only about the data).
