Once upon a time I deleted music and videos from my phone to make room for newer music and videos but nowadays I catch myself removing apps. Not because of the space they are using but because of the app size itself. A once removed app is unlikely to be reinstalled.
JetBrains makes the best developer tools I've used, and while they offer free, community licenses, their more advanced tools still require a paid subscription.

The "cheap to operate" myth has long been debunked by all of the 100% depreciated nuclear plants closing, because, they are not cheap to operate.
Or compressed air: https://www.torontohydro.com/sites/electricsystem/gridinvest...

Not sure why they use those balloons though, seems like a maintenance nightmare. A diving bell would work just as well and be much simpler.
Does that add up to much in terms of app size? I was under the impression most embedded web browsers used platform web view components?
It's to make sure the block will be rejected by the non BCC nodes. This way you have a "clean cut": the Bitcoin Cash nodes rejecting the non-BCC blocks while segwit nodes reject the BCC fork because it starts with an invalid >1MB block.
If everyone thought like this, there would never be a successful new language or platform. So, while we're bandying about subjective statements, I'll give mine: It's not about community strength and modernity. It's about exploring ideas and finding tools / solutions that work well for you and the problem you're trying to solve.
I dunno. The constant barrage of: "BlockChains, but for Cancer!" just seems ... derivative now. Like the 'Uber, but for dogs' was this time last year. Everyone knows these hacker-coins are a scam, the last one with them looses their shirt. Yeah, the ideas are kinda cool, but, nah man. Like, from Mean Girls: "Gretchen, stop trying to make 'Fetch' happen, it's not gonna happen"

I'm happy to answer questions: karl@secondspectrum.com
They wouldn't necessarily have trouble understanding what's under the hood, and that isn't my contention anyway: I contend that whether they can and whether they need (or even ought) to do so are separate questions, most of the time with the latter answered in the negative.
If Carnot efficiency is so well known that numerous hn'ers mention it, how likely is it that a team of alphabet people wouldn't be aware of it?
I think it is unlikely that most people care and the improved analytics and development speed is probably worth it. My android is connected to wifi almost 24/7, so it doesn't matter how long it takes up update.

The superficial solution to this is not to outlaw cryptography completely, but to require those who make cryptography available to keep master keys and/or logs.

I know that these are not a real solution as they can be leaked or abused, but it's best that we don't pretend not to hear this argument. We should make clear that these are insufficient and that there's nothing wrong with private communications truly remaining private.
Just to be fair, the police car and all the property in the car should be seized under forfeiture laws. :)
>When actual broker-dealers (like TD Ameritrade, ETrade etc) start trading tokenized securities offerings, it will be extremely advantageous because they have much more robust infrastructure and trillions of dollars of assets under management already.

Maybe. But maybe in the long run, the regulated industry, as encumbered by regulatory friction as it is (e.g. $10 per trade), is a dinosaur, and will be thoroughly eclipsed by this new unregistered blockchain token market with its nearly frictionless transactions.
I don't believe it requires a login, but it does require Play services, which requires giving root to Google via a closed-source binary.

Felt like a small little needle pointed at the UK's government.
Totally, even if you're not an expert, you can write your own experience on some topics. And maybe what difficulties you had or would you handle something to make it easier.
A lot of office malfeasance of what we take for it can be dismissed under Qualified Immunity by courts and is regularly done so. There was a recent case where a criminalist who falsely testified in a case gets Qualified Immunity. How do we act in the face of that?

We work in a society where the government authority is always right. doesn't really matter your color, even I was military we were told if brought up for even a traffic offense to never imply the arresting officer was wrong, just explain why we were not at fault.

So with regards to camera. In a one vs one encounter the camera must be active and recording unless damaged by the perpetrator and even then the record should be easily destroyed. So while a camera could possibly be damaged during a scuffle it should so this event.

Hence, if no video then no crime unless it can be proven that all available recording devices were disabled through an act of god. No officer should be permitted out of station without having another party verify all recording gear is in working order, same for the cars. Simply put, we force them to never enter the public unless their recording gear is function and soon as a fault is detected it must be remedied then.

Then make it a federal offense for disabling or even turning off any recording device. It has to be federal. we back it up not with fines but termination and jail time. We can give the cops a three strikes and your out.

last note (did not have time to write a short reply) is that we must prevent law enforcement officers fired in one locale from simply getting hired in another
Recently, I've seen signs attaching fines to driving in the left lane below the speed limit or not allowing a car to pass. There are still drivers that stay below but I think with the new signs they are becoming a smaller subset. This was in South Florida btw.
Yeah. Sanders and Corbyn are strange figureheads really. I've spoken to Labour politicians who think that Corbyn hasn't changed his mind since 1983. They all are still carrying all of this pointless and discredited Cold War era baggage.

A friend of Corbyn's has praised North Korea and Stalinism, and Corbyn appointed him to a major position in his election campaign: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jeremy-corbyn-defends-...

They do the job of right-wing ideologues for them by conflating social democracy with communism and authoritarianism. They still have not learnt the lessons of Orwell and Solzhenitsyn about the nonsense of arbitrarily taking sides.
Object Pascal is very similar to C# in many ways. It isn't like a developer that has used Java or C# would have a hard time learning and understanding how to use it.

Re: modern languages: a language having modern features isn't a modern language, rather how popular it is at this moment is the most important aspect ? How did that work out for Python ? And where does PHP land using this criteria ? Is PHP better than Object Pascal because more people write PHP code ?
Copperleaf Technologies | Vancouver, BC, Canada | Full-Time | ONSITE | http://www.copperleaf.com/

We build products to help companies managing millions of dollars of assets make better decisions. Our core product, C55, helps companies decide which projects to invest in, how to reduce their risk, increase safety, and reduce their environmental impact. We are one of the top 20 Fastest-Growing Software Companies in Canada and winner of the BC Tech 2016 Emerging Company of the Year Award. We are also working on multiple cloud-based products, two of which were just recently released.

We have grown a lot in the last year, and we are looking to fill a senior dev role on one of the "cloud" technology teams. The project's stack includes NodeJS, Angular (2+), Kendo, and Postgres. We'd like to find an experienced full-stack developer who can take on a leadership role and mentor junior developers.

I joined Copperleaf (as a senior developer) back in April 2016. The people here are really nice, they care about what they do, and they have a lot of domain knowledge. If any of that sounds interesting to you, please fire off an e-mail to me (Tom) at thauk@copperleaf.com and we can chat a bit more!
That's a really nice flip of the classic domain registration search... clever! Just gotta keep those zone files up to date...
There is a corollary prediction: AIs will disagree.

Too many people imagine AIs are somehow "perfectly rational" and therefore will never disagree, they'll just tap into a unified decision making engine and automatically integrate all of their knowledge.

In order to integrate knowledge you need more knowledge. And in order to integrate that you need more still. It's turtles all the way down. If anything, AIs are at a disadvantage to humans, because we at least share a body, an emotional palette, and to some extent a cultural timeline. AIs have nothing to ground the beliefs of the other in.

Binti | San Francisco, CA | Full-Stack Generalists and Data, DevOps, and Security Leads | Full-time, onsite, will transfer H-1B | $100K – $140K, 0.05% – 0.4%
Binti makes software for foster care and adoption agency staff to improve their daily workflow so they can make better-informed decisions and spend more of their time actually helping people. Our mission is to find a safe, loving, and stable family for every child.
Binti's software is used by private adoption agencies in 30 states. We're in the midst of expanding into serving government foster care agencies and are close to reaching two-thirds of the foster care families in the state of California.
We have sustainable revenue, fanatical customers, and ample seed funding from top investors like First Round, Kapor, and Lowercase. We work together in SF and are growing rapidly.
Binti's main SaaS web product is a conventional monolithic Rails/Postgres app that delivers value in heaps and heaps, and remains super fun to hack on. We're building the monolith up higher and higher, and looking forward to soon chipping off a service or two (perhaps in Elixir?). We're using Kubernetes/Google Cloud.

Your points, at least in my experience, are spot on. I would include one additional bonus: i find i "hm" and "um" less, and generally communicate clearer since writing became a regular practice of mine.
"So, there are options. But they rely on mature conversations between the tech companies and the Government - and they must be confidential"

i.e. backdoors. Trust us, we are the government!
Making Sense of the August 1st Bitcoin Forks
Totally agree. Preprocessors still have a place in many projects and there are tools such as CodeKit that make them easier to manage for non-devs.

But I never said this project wasn't bleeding edge. It will only become more relevant as browsers evolve :)

BTW - Shoelace is only 7.9KB min/gzipped.
I agree with what you wrote in theory. But when the narrow perspective is clearly shared by majority of employers and simultaneously it takes like a weekend max to refresh linked list, bubble sort and other few shared datastructures, then the test basically boils down to "are you able to learn this". Which is imo fair test.
Heads should roll for such poor decisions.

If that happens, no new nuclear project will ever be started in USA again.

Apollo Agriculture (https://apolloagriculture.com/) | Backend Software Engineer | Amsterdam, Nairobi | ONSITE | Full Time
Apollo Agriculture is using satellite data to help bring modern farming to the worlds poorest farmers. Millions of farmers globally don't have access to the basic farm tools the rest of the world depends on for food production, good seed and fertilizer. We sell these proven agricultural tools on credit, and use satellite data and ML to figure out who we can lend to profitably.
We use Scala, Python/NumPy/SciPy (for science/ML), android and are heavy postgres users. We're building great software for places with low reliability networks and harsh environmental conditions.
We delivered fertilizer to ~1000 farmers earlier this March and are now in the process of getting paid back and supporting our farmers this season. Right now we're building software tools to help us communicate with rural farmers who are often illiterate and frequently struggle even with pressing buttons on their phones.

To apply, send me an email at earl@apolloagriculture.com
Reading through, they didn't bother finding any expert to offer a counterpoint. Lazy.
It's a blog, the content doesn't have to be novel. That said, the author would improve the post by replicating your context links.
That's the point, that it's better to focus on long term but the game puts a lot of pressure on you to optimize for short term
Time Out | Full Stack and Data Engineers | London, New York, Boston | Onsite, FT | http://timeout.com/london

Time Out is at an interesting point right now. It is working to rebuild itself into a digital-first company from its successful roots as a magazine company.

This transformation hasn't been easy. As with other print publishers, Time Out is dealing with declining revenues. That's resulted in the company reducing its headcount and laying off many folks.

The good news is that there is a new set of folks at the helm. Many of them hail from successful web companies; many are from TripAdvisor. I'm excited to see us go "all in" on becoming a digital company.

What make me optimistic about Time Out is that it has retained a stellar group of writers and editors who truly know the cities they write about. Our writing ranks on Google because it is good, not because of SEO trickery. There's also a core technical team which is excited to provide and tune how our users read our content. The stuff that other companies have to fake – brand, identity, content, coolness – is what Time Out not only has, but actually personifies.

As we couple our writers with tech-savvy folks, I expect to see some stellar results.

You're right - there should be minimal (if any) size bloat because of the use of browsers on iOS.

You're not allowed to include your own browser, and can only use the platform's web view, which is not duplicated on a per-app basis.

There are many culprits for app bloat, but using a browser is most certainly not one of them.

They're not going to optimize for what makes me happy, they're going to optimize for what makes me spend. There's a strong chance these are not the same things.
Most people have small flash and can't fit many apps this size in the space that is left over from the OS and photos/media.
I have almost zero problems with nuclear power.

I have almost zero confidence in the humans involved. Operations, waste disposal, financials, turf wars, transparency, accountability, whatever.

Humans ruin everything. Even in my own (very low stakes) work as a programmer, the problem is rarely the tech, its the humans.

Whenever someone floats an idea, I wonder "What's the worst that could go wrong?" Solar panels becomes landfill and the silicon fabs become superfund sites. vs Chernobyl, Fukushima, Hanford Nuclear Reservation, proliferation, dirty bombs, etc.
A boy can dream.
I guess I was thinking about providers like prolexic that filter the traffic for you. They must have some methodology for doing that.
Relatively small. Compared to "war, disease or chaos", keeping "the area between the Mississippi and the Rockies" irrigated will be (is) expensive, but it's a relatively small expense.
I didn't mean Brexit - which I didn't think was that closely aligned with the normal left-right spectrum. After all, the left wing in the UK regarded the EU as a capitalist plot and the right wing regarded it as a socialist plot!
