How pair programming helped me focus more
At current technology levels and known reserves, there's about 85 years of natgas. And it just keeps getting cheaper to produce and known reserves keep expanding far faster than it is consumed.

The only way gas prices could skyrocket are political caps on production or a cheap way to export natgas across the oceans explodes demand.
Also, detecting overflow while casting seems pretty trivial to implement as a macro itself if you aren't willing to wait for the language to pick up the need.
Homelight | Software Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE | fulltime | https://www.homelight.com/careers

Current Interview Process: quick chat, engineering phone screen, onsite, team lunch, reference check, offer.

HomeLight is creating the best way for home buyers and sellers to find the best real estate agent using objective data about real estate agent performance. We're continually working on our matching algorithm (machine learning & data science) and currently working on some big initiatives to improve how home buyers and sellers and agents interact with homelight and with each other (mobile apps, new product features, etc.)

We're a small team of 7 engineers. Our stack is Ruby on Rails(4.2 and 5), and Postgresql(9.6) hosted on Heroku. The front end is using Ember. We've got reasonable test coverage with rspec. People know python and R.

Tasks are reasonably defined, and its normal to push back on tasks to determine the business value in our work. We're not just a feature factory, we care about the value delivered in what we build. As engineers, we have an enormous amount of latitude in the implementation details of our work. Because we're small, you're going to need to know the full stack.

We're looking to hire Software Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, and Data Engineers. If you're interested in real estate, you should apply.

I applied via the link on the careers page, but if you have any questions, you can email me at evan@homelight.com. When you apply, make sure to mention you saw this hackernews post.

I'm a Junior Front End Engineer. I have not gone to college, in case that's a disqualifying factor. I've gotten my experience primarily through self-teaching and going to hackathons. I've taken a few gigs and am now looking for something full time. I would take an internship, but most places require me to be in college, or a very recent grad, which I am not.

If you know a position that might suit me, or might have some general advice or ideas on new things to try in my job search, or even willing just to talk about your job interviewing experience as a job seeker, I encourage you to contact me: roshkins@gmail.com

Thank you for your time!

Allowing the cops to fully control the infrastructure of a technology that may be used as evidence against them is, in my opinion, a big mistake. This includes the ability to turn the cameras off, whether that is by pushing a button or by opening up the case and snipping a wire with diagonal cutters.

Always on. Always under independent control. The actions of public servants are public record, and the public desires that its servants not be corrupt. That footage should be going to the prosecutor's office, the public defender's office, and the state's records office before anyone else is allowed to touch it.

That little on/off button might still be useful, to mark portions of the video that the police department might like to retrieve from the records office and review after an incident, but the idea that a cop will always act honorably when no one is watching seems to have been a myth ever since ol' Bobby Peel invented the modern cop.
That's such bullshit. If anything only government conversations conducted by public servants should be made public and private conversations should be, well, private.

>John Oliver's style is more akin to pointing a finger and laughing at someone

Again, as Oliver himself says repeatedly, he is a comedian, not a journalist. That's what comedians do. It's confusing to some people, because he talks about real things and sometimes manages to slip in more actual information than some actual journalists--esp the mock-journalists on TV--do.
Feel for the side buttons with your index finger. A physical home button really isn't necessary.
Namely, someone who thrives with a lot of responsibility, freedom, and latitude with decision-making. Who thinks laterally and brings some "hustle" to the table, instead of simply awaiting orders.

We're currently remote, so no one's gonna stand over your shoulder and count hours in your seat, but this position is early/pivotal enough that the success of the company will be a function of this person's impact. It's gotta be someone who understands this and knows how to row their own canoe as well as row crew.
It's a necessary but not a sufficient condition. That doesn't make it useless.
To be clear, HTML's "self-closing elements" are img, meta, and others which never have content nor end-element tags. These are based on SGML empty elements, and HTML merely tolerates the XML-style form

<img ... />

but does not allow

<img ...></img>

though parser recovery might be able to deal with it, and WebSGML can formally reject or accept it.

Apart from empty elements, HTML's tag inference can also be formalized using SGML. Tag inference is what makes this

<title>Title</title>
<p>Body Text

a valid HTML document and be treated as though

Attack of the 50 foot Blockchain
> 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.

The infrastructure keeping those keys then becomes an irresistible target to compromise. The government has already lost critical data such as the application data for most/all Classified personnel in the military and contractors. If that kind of data cannot be kept safe then you can be sure that a legally centralized infrastructure to keep keys will be attacked, and likely compromised at some point.

So what? That's a totally meaningless comparison because the ubiquity of cryptocurrencies would not obviate the need for financial services. Besides, market forces incentivize businesses to use as little power as possible because it costs them money, PoW incentivizes miners to use as much power as possible because that is a necessary requirement for increasing hash output.
Lambda School | Computer Science Instructor, Machine Learning Instructor | REMOTE | https://lambdaschool.com/computer-science

Lambda School is a full online computer science education that is free for students until they get a job. After they get a job we take a small percentage of income for two years, only if they're making above $50,000. Our goal is to make a high-quality education completely risk-free, and make it easy for people to become skilled, regardless of their current status in life.

We're looking for people who both love programming and love to teach. Empathy is very important, as you'll be dealing with folks from all walks of life. Some of our students have never been given many opportunities in this life, and working with them is especially important.

We go much deeper than "code bootcamps." Our current offering is six months of full-time instruction. You can see the full curriculum here https://github.com/LambdaSchool/LambdaCSA-Syllabus. We teach CS principles, and the vehicles for teaching those are JavaScript/React/Node and C++.

We have a small core of instructors (from Stanford, Berkeley, Hack Reactor), and are looking to expand our core of instructors as we grow the number of students we can accept.

We are announcing our funding very soon, and based on your usage of this site you've definitely heard of who funded us.

This is faster than the app for me. My main problems with the app are a) it was pre installed so can't be moved to SD card, b) not only does the app include a snapchat clone I don't use, but it stores 100s MBs of user data too, c) it tells me I have messages, but that requires more 100s MBs to read in another app with another 100 features I don't use.
Many C++ libraries follow this approach.

I highly doubt that. Few people actually know how big any given app is. Plus, there are more compelling things keeping people on their platform of choice, like iMessage or the sunken cost of apps that they've already purchased.
Tell that to my bank account.

We live in a world where most current and future performance benefits come from understanding how to program both parallel and distributed algorithms in an age where almost everyone is either a single-threaded Java or Python programmer relying on OSS frameworks and packages to do the distributed dirty work for them.

And that's made it nearly free beer right now to have gone against the above curve and stayed current on C++ and multi-core/distributed algorithms so one can build those frameworks and packages. That will probably change now that GPUs are a hot commodity as opposed to nerdy gamer stuff, but chance favored the minority of prepared programmers here.

Further, I have zero interest in the blockchain. There's interesting technology there, but it is of zero use to me or any of my life goals. Also the hucksters and low-information sorts trying to make me believe I can't live without it are driving me even further away from it.

And before you downvote me for negativity, this thread did ask why distributed system engineers aren't interesting in this, yes?
You try to equate the current Visa, Mastercard, etc. to the current Bitcoin. This is not possible because Visa alone handles like 100,000 times the volume of Bitcoin. As soon as Bitcoin&Co. become serious currencies, the incentives for manipulation rise. When eventually no new Bitcoins will be generated, all miner incentives come from mining blocks for the transaction fees. How do you want to protect the chain? How much will a single transaction cost to pay for the power to prevent this manipulation by working faster than the "enemy"?

If you raise the block size to put more transactions into a single block, you will end up with a normal banking system because nobody can carry the whole blockchain with them to pay and has to trust providers that manage wallets.
> Visa, MasterCard, AmEX, &c along with each individual bank, not to mention the intermediaries and gateways all of them use also consume a tremendous amount of power.

But is it more or less than the equivalent amount of power it would take for Bitcoin (or something like it) to scale to Visa, MC, AMEX, etc. global levels?

kind like the whole venture/startup industry. promote lottery mentality. pay below market rates for the effort and time put into to startups. only a few get rewarded. Only difference they seduce you with your own ideas.
> It's not as if our current system uses a negligible amount of power

Our current system does in fact use a negligible amount of power. Each $2 latte you put on a credit card uses an amount of electricity so infinitesimal that it can only be measured in the aggregate.

The percentage of the power used to generate a single bitcoin block for a single transaction can power an average US household for (approximately) an entire week.

To put it in perspective: If the bitcoin network scaled up to the size of the VISA network it would require 100% of all energy used for all purposes planet-wide, from transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, etc. Everything you could possibly want to buy with bitcoin would be unavailable, as 100% of all human activity would go to powering the miners.
