Do you combine them in any specific way when you have time for your hobbies?

Not really. Mostly I just have too many interests and not enough time to pursue them all. And I try not to over-think this stuff, but I did make kind of a pointed effort to take up some more artistic / creative things with the interests in drawing and playing keyboard. For most of my life I had no hobbies that really had that artistic aspect to them, so that was something of a conscious decision. That said, I love music and learning to play an instrument was always one of those "I'll get around to it one day" things, and I just finally bit the bullet.
Hi Harj,

I didn't see an answer to this on yr FAQ for candidates, and I think it's pretty important from privacy standpoint: Do candidates have total control over which companies you will reach out to on their behalf?
I feel old reading this thread
Lots of news in the recruiting space today. Although Google Hire seems like more of a workflow application, I wonder if specialized recruiting platforms like Triplebyte might be at risk in the near future. With access to so much data throughout it's ecosystem, is it possible that Google can train ML models to pre-screen candidates at significantly lower cost?
With the flash sites i refer to, the back and forward buttons didn't work at all. Slow to load today is nothing like loading a 1 mb flash app over dialup on a 800mhz pentium iii. I mean copy and paste, like back and forward, were not just l 'messed with'... you often couldn't even highlight text. Flash sites were far worse than the average awful HTML site of 2004, and this is why they're now almost totally dead.

Sure, the real problem is the people who made poor decisions and made sites like that in the first place, and still do.

Like the sibling commenter, I can't parse your sentence and intention except as "we've certainly shown they're not commonly problematic" which is quite a weak statement.

Is your sentence a positive sentence (do you mean we've certainly shown they're problematic essentially never) or is your sentence negative (we've certainly shown they're problematic definitely sometimes - which is unacceptable)?

I tried to read your attitude but failed.
Yes 100%, we do not reach out to any companies, or share any information with them, until you've marked them as a company you want to speak with.
Apple's main qualm at the time though was
"If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers."

They've since done a double-take and have accepted games built in Unity and apps built in website-wrapper frameworks (also many of which are proprietary).

Apple had many reasons to want to rightfully kill off Flash. But the thing is, it wasn't all bad.

Note that I do agree however that slow security fixes and Flash causing crashes / consuming lots of CPU are real concerns.
The sub I mod (r/cscareerquestions) held a popular AMA with a TripleByte co-founder for anyone looking to see some of their responses to questions about their work.

Yes, people kill animals for food. Yes, people care about the well-being of those animals during the time they are alive and in their care.

If you see a contradiction there, that's just you.

I assume you are a "supermarket kid", like most of us here, and grew up away from the land, getting your meat from the invisible machinery of modern industrialized food production. Now you seem to have gone off eating meat, and apparently feel quite morally superior. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

From this position of inexperience and moral superiority, of course you are unable to process the nuanced emotions conveyed so skillfully by White. Unable to reconcile the essay with your black-and-white moralistic view of the world, you blame the author for lacking introspection. This is why you are sensing some disdain in the responses you are getting.

There was no sudden-change: they kept on maintaining Director, years after its main use-cases (kiosk applications, magazine cover demo disc launchers and CD autoplay software) stopped being relevant.

If my experiences at other software companies are anything to go by: Adobe's staffers probably wanted to open-source it but were held back by licensed third-party components.

I haven't seen any true Director Shockwave content on the web since the original Shockwave.com - it was a handful of games that today could be built in JavaScript without any trouble.

> Yeah but certainly they were planning to launch an app store when Jobs penned his open letter on flash.

That was almost two years after the opening of the app store, and almost three years after the release of the iphone. I'm unsure whether they really had a fully thought out app store strategy initially, or whether they stumbled into it sort of by accident. Even if an app store was planned, I'm not sure they really knew what to expect. I seem to recall them initially saying you didn't need native apps, and then finally realizing the demand was so great (and performance too poor with Safari) that they needed to open one so scrambled to do so. That may just be a narrative I latched onto and remember though...
> it had horrible security record

I think this is overstated. Sure there were Flash 0-days, but then it was probably also the highest-value 0-day target in the world. In those days Flash was more widely installed than any single browser, or even OS. It may well have been the most widely-installed application period.

The point being, if Flash was inherently horrible for security (in some way that, say, Java wasn't) there would have been exploits every day of the week and half the planet would have been owned. I think the reality is that it was just a really big target, which Adobe (with a lot of help from Google) kept relatively secure, all things considered.
Yeah they even link directly to PDF datasheets of PCB laminates and prepreg material (the core layers that the copper adheres to on a printed circuit board) that were used in an effort to show why they are having issues.

Pretty specific. Good article.
Or they could have let someone else take all of the "glasshole" flak, then arrived after that with a trusted, safe, Google product that addressed the concerns.

As they say, you can spot the pioneers because they're the ones with the arrows sticking out of their backs.
Adobe Animate CC (aka FlashCC) can compile directly to HTML5 canvas, and allow code injection. It has the same troubles with mp3 and mp4 as browsers do, and requires knowing some "tricks" (like how to double the canvas scaling for retina), but it's an adequate tool.

I see medicines in foreign countries wrapped in some kind of aluminum foil. Will that prolong the life of the medicine given there is no oxygen to react?

Given the amount of money spent on medicines, I really think there is a good moral business case to identify the correct expiration dates and save money for people.

We just went through the Health care ordeal. Money saved anywhere is money saved for people who desperately need healthcare to work for them.
The PCIE spec also says that the maximum power supplied via external connectors is 225W. This is so that system makers know how big to size their power supplies to so that they can claim to support a maximally spec'd PCIE board. Obviously a board can require more external power, but board makers do generally try to stay below 300W.
Ask HN: How have you reduced the pain of moving code between systems?
I find the process of moving code between systems (eg from Dev to Staging to Production) to be (unnecessarily) finicky. No matter how much care is taken to harmonize the various environments, very often, subtle bugs creep in. I would like to set up my deployment such that I can be confident that code behaves exactly the same on any of the systems. How do you manage your deployment to ensure consistency across systems?

How to run Node.js as a background service
When I read some of these comments, i get the feeling people aren't aware of the extent of the technical shortcomings of flash circa 2005.

Of course indexing has improved since the demise of flash, compared to the heyday of flash. Flash contained all text in an unindexable binary blob.

Accessibility was very poor since, again, flash prevented the use of any browser features for that without offering its own.

Flash was also a leading security hole for years.
+1 To that I would add that consistency is key in forming relationships at activities. If you show up consistently for the same activity without skipping sessions, you automatically become part of the "core group". People new to the group will now look to you for guidance. This will ensure that a) people come and talk to you and b) you are forced to talk to them and help them, and in doing so you'll forget about your own hangups c) your consistency instills confidence in others that building a relationship with you is worth their while

I've observed this in my own attendance at things like weekly pick-up sports games, organized leagues etc. Players who show up week after week are just as well-regarded as more-skilled, but less regular players.

I was too feeling lonely not long ago after losing my partner of many years. I had fallen into a pretty bad state and just felt more alone with ever passing day. After my grieving I knew something had to be done and I decided to choose between two things I've always wanted to do, boxing and salsa dancing. I eventually enrolled in a boxing academy and love it. My coach is a great man, my fellow sparing partners are almost like family now.
I have made a connection with these people I never imagined I would have. I suggest you think of something you've always wanted to do and just DO IT.

Bonus: I also look and feel great now thanks to working out.

Are you thinking of Macromedia FreeHand? FreeHand was a vector art editor to compete with Adobe Illustrator.

Macromedia Fireworks was a raster editor like Photoshop, but was heavily geared towards "web graphics" (think: Adobe ImageReady). It had neat features such as text templating, integation with Dreamweaver, and decent sub-pixel positioning. I used it from 2001 until 2005. I felt it was primarily for making websites using now-obsolete techniques like tables-for-layout, spacer.gif, and using heavily manually-optimized graphics and techniques to achieve effects that CSS was not yet capable of. I may be wrong, but I don't believe Fireworks changed much since the Adobe acquisition, ensuring its declining relevance in the post-CSS3 web world.

There is so much opportunity in the tech recruiting/jobhunting industry. So many pain points for applicants (and likely for companies as well). Job postings are mostly a joke. Recruiters, while well-meaning, often seem like they are taking shots in the dark. Networking is only workable to the few with contact lists stuffed full of hiring managers. It feels like a totally dysfunctional dating pool full of people complaining they can't find partners. Judging by the number of "hiring is broken" discussions that pop up here from time to time, it seems that everyone agrees that the area is overripe for massive disruption.

These guys seem to be at least a step in the right direction, kind of a "buyers agent" for candidates. Too bad they only work with programmers at this point. Wonder if they have plans to expand into other technical (but not programming) roles like engineering managers and project managers. I'd +1 them going in that direction.

Maybe not. There are cautious drivers and there are rash drivers. The probability of accident is wildly different for both of them. However the probability of an accident due to a a bug/miscalculation in autonomous driving is same for everyone.
> Functional collections may work well with a state of the art GC, with Julia's not so much.

I don't know the specifics of Julia's GC, but this seems a strange thing to say in 2017. Douglas Crosher's conservative generational collector for CMUCL (also used in SBCL AFAIK) supports C interoperation and is entirely adequate for handling the extra garbage that (admittedly) is generated when using functional collections. I don't recall exactly when he wrote that collector, but it must have been 20 years ago at least. It would be strange if Julia weren't using something at least as sophisticated.

SB Game Hacker 3.1 APK Is Here [Latest]
I am going to go so far as to say this article is being actively and intentionally intellectually dishonest, as the author seems to understand enough of the issues surrounding violence and speech and yet wrote an incipiently long article whose first sentence admitted that some speech could be violent but did not once attempt to analyze Milo's speech to see if it even met the author's own test for violence; not a single time here am I seeing quotes from Milo designed to make his speech look OK not at any point does the author note the actual reasons why protestors claimed Milo's speech is violence: there is just a banal assumption drawn to the length of being what I will again call out as a dishonest straw man :/.

So, the reason that people I know are so horrified by Milo is that he was calling out undocumented and transgendered students by name; not just talking about what he dislikes about these groups, but calling them before the mob of his audience on an individual basis, knowing full well that many of his audience members would go find that person and take out their issues on that person, all while not even trying to hedge the situation to demonized his own followers who turned to such levels; and, for the undocumented, essentially turning a microscope on them and making it highly likely they could find themselves deported.

This, to me, fits a usage of the term "violence". Maybe you disagree. Maybe the author also disagrees, but I don't know, as I will now again say that as the author didn't even ask this question, which let them respond to a weird philosophy piece that also didn't seem to care to ask anyone involved, which I find so ludicrously questionable in their position and with their clear understanding of other issues as to be outright dishonest. This is an article talking with another article about a group of people, and yet those people were not consulted? This should not happen.

Regardless, with this information, you now get to do what the author should have done: discuss whether you think this speech is violent--not just any speech, and not the perfect speech that this author might hope you are expecting, but the specific speech involved in the incidents on college campuses which are used in the author's examples and that are required to claim the reactions are incompatible. In all seriousness: even if you still disagree that Milo is violent, I hope we can at least agree that this article sucks.

This is a neat idea, but you should double-check the ToS for Instagram.

I worked on expiration dates studies in pharma. It's well known that you could probably always extend the shelf life to 3-4 years for most drugs that are supposed to expire within 2 only, because tablets for example tend to be very stable.

But nobody wants to run long stability studies, because that costs a lot of money (i.e. several batches that have to be analyzed in regular basis, documented, reported, QA'ed, inspected, etc... - and you need to place them in numerous conditions, too, ambient temperature as well as stressed conditions depending on where you intend to market the drug), and bring very little returns at the end of the day. You'd rather want your engineers to work on developing new formulations and regulatory teams to spend time on the application of new drugs rather than adding one or two years of shelf life to an existing drug on the market.

Also know that you can't "extrapolate" and need actual data based on regulations of the big 3 geographies (US, Europe, Japan). So "models" are not accepted. Also, these agencies are extremely conservative when it comes to what impurities should be considered acceptable and at what levels they should be. Not saying they are necessarily wrong, but this is another constraints. I have seen cases where it was difficult to extend one drug's shelf life because of a single impurity being a little over the tolerated limit.

I totally agree. My first tech job at a startup, around the time of the dotcom boom, was for an early streaming radio application that used Flash to deliver ads in a local desktop player. Flash was a simple, but empowering, tool.

The ubiquity of the Flash player transformed the Internet into a true entertainment platform. Prior to Flash, technologies like RealAudio/Video, Quicktime, and animated gifs were clunky and couldn't compete with traditional media. With Flash came the first high-quality, streaming, web cartoons/animations; web games; and eventually Youtube (after the release of the FLV format). Flash should be recognized as a true innovation that paved the way for the modern web. The modern web stack of JS, HTML5 Video/Audio, SVG has finally caught up, but I don't think we'll ever see such seamless integration and power in one tool (for better or worse).
