We’re looking for experienced developers and creative professionals to join us in our Toronto office on our mission to be the world’s currency authority.

Our environment is very open, with Engineering being comprised of multiple small teams working closely together in an agile fashion. We have teams creating high performant systems with sub-millisecond trade execution time. We have teams designing and creating meaningful user experiences on desktop, web and mobile. We have teams that specialize in API design, business intelligence, and quantitative analysis. Whatever you're looking for, check out jobs.oanda.com.

So why would you want to come work here? Although the company has been around for twenty years, recent hires say the culture feels more like a vibrant start-up. We care about writing and maintaining high quality, modular, testable code. We’re continually looking to advance our process, recently experimenting with GV: Design Sprint. We take pride in holding to a high standard of ethics, working closely with regulators across the globe. We treat customers fairly, how we ourselves would want to be treated. We provide an environment for people to grow in their career and create their own opportunities. Ultimately, we’ve created a platform that our customers actually want to use, and this drives us to make it even better. I’ve been at OANDA for almost 10 years and can say that all of this is only possible because we’re a group of people who genuinely love working together, able to get work done because we’re not plagued by politics or office drama.

We also have free coffee, drinks, snacks, catered meals, a games room, training allowance, a retirement savings program, and other benefits.

If you’re in Toronto, and any of this sparks your interest, please apply through jobs.oanda.com!
On the original post he says switching to a "real" PL is probably "right" but onerous. I won't nitpick on whether or not it's onerous, but maybe it's not as onerous as the author thinks.

A few years ago I blogged about generating a Markdown changelog based on PRs http://mattdeboard.net/2014/01/14/automatic-changelog-genera...

Though the output is different (just concerned with merge commits), I reckon you could probably do something similar for HTML with a `git log` command modified from what's in my post. No git API library needed.

That said, the author wanted to explore doing this just with shell and deal with the problems and stuff that come up there, so, cool! I'm not passing judgment on that or comparing what I wrote to what he did, just throwing it out there.
I'm sure it happens in many industries, but my point is that I don't think it makes this an "amateur" computer. Plenty of professional employees will want one, get one, and will be completely unaffected by the design. Plenty of people will be on the other side of that too.

I think HN is a whole lot better than it used to be. (I think shadowbans used to be common back when pg ran this site.)

I'm still happy that other sites exist.

I agree. This is the biggest technological issue for zeronet imo.

Every time there's a change to the db you need to download a whole new copy afaik.

Ideally you'd use a log based store. To do this you need to fundamentally change your idea for how a website works.

With a distributed log store chances are you won't have the same data as another person.

One of the problems is that patent applicants in the U.S. have no obligation to submit a competent prior-art search; it's the job of the patent examiner to do a prior-art search. Every time the USPTO issues a patent, in effect it's making national economic policy, yet someone seeking a patent need only disclose whatever prior art of which he or she (and/or the patent attorney) happens to be aware. That's like saying that a Ph.D student doesn't need to do a literature search for her dissertation because some junior faculty member will do the search — and then if that junior faculty member judges the dissertation to be acceptable (possibly in consultation with a senior faculty member), then the student gets her degree. The flaws in that arrangement should be obvious, and yet that's how U.S. patents are granted.
optile in Munich, Germany (noremote (well, a little bit of remote work is already possible), fulltime, EU work permit preferred, but Visa possible)

https://www.optile.net/en/company/job-offers/

optile is creating an open payment gateway that solves the pain involved in taking international payments and taking a lot of different payment methods in many different countries. We do this through a REST/JSON API, a well thought-out architecture and intricate knowledge of the payment
systems that govern all of our lifes. We are growing fast and are
executing a huge opporunity for the company with a number of big name customers now in the pipeline.

We have a very diverse team (over 20 nationalities) consisting of 40+ people.

I (Jonas Maurus, the person posting this) have just recently taken on the responsiblity of CTO and was positively surprised by the culture I already found in the existing team. I am now continuing to foster it. optile is firmly based on mutual respect, hiring smart people and getting out of their way (aka taking responsiblity), honest feedback and transparency. Work here is challenging, but also fun and I personally focus on creating a team of happy humans who build great software. We pay competetive wages and have a good track record of providing incentives through equity for all employees. There are free soft drinks, beer, coffee and fruit.

We do have remote positions available in building payment method adapters, as the adapter team is the one that has most experience and the cultural tenets to work remotely, but the core team and the company is still local to Munich. One thing can lead to another, though :).

That said, we are looking for:
- Java developers of all kinds (junior, senior, you name it). The
adapter developer position mentioned above needs more of a "senior" profile.
- ReactJS/Redux/ReactNative developers (junior, senior, you name it)

We are also looking for candidates in "not typically HackerNews"
positions: Vice President Customer Success, Internal Operations Manager (Office support etc), Junior IT Support, and a variety of positions for working students.

Experience with MongoDB, Spring, PostgreSQL, Lodash, D3.js, Vertx, a good understanding of cryptography, previous payment experience, risk models and machine learning are all a plus.

We're looking forward to meeting you. Please apply through the link above.
Thanks for the tl;dr! Saw the click-baity title and didn't expect any good content but this sounds interesting.
Pros generally want to be paid for their time, and it’s hard to get someone to pay you a nice rate to fiddle with your machine.
Hoping to counter that trend with our own simple CRM tool: Orchestra.
It's all about adding bits of information to improve confidence in tracking users across pages.

Lets assume that in page visits <10 minutes apart, a users battery won't change by more than 10%.

So say I go to volvo.com and then reddit.com - and my battery changes from 10% to 8%. When I request reddit.com - the user is clearly not a visitor who has had >20% battery. We also know the resolution of the phone. We know the user agent. And many other factors. Combining all of these means that you approach 100% certainty that it's the same user. No information on it's own is identifiable - but by combining enough sources - no two machines or phones are identical (at least that's what advertisers hope)
No, and the default limit is 10mb. Your site can request more though and or you can use zerocdn?
Chinese Scientists Fix Genetic Disorder in Cloned Human Embryos

"For nearly 30 years, all new surface warfare officers spent their first six months in uniform at the Surface Warfare Officer’s School in Newport, Rhode Island, learning the theory behind driving ships and leading sailors as division officers.

But that changed in 2003. The Navy decided to eliminate the “SWOS Basic” school and simply send surface fleet officers out to sea to learn on the job. The Navy did that mainly to save money, and the fleet has suffered severely for it, said retired Cmdr. Kurt Lippold.

“The Navy has cut training as a budgetary device and they have done it at the expense of our ability to operate safely at sea,” said Lippold, who commanded the destroyer Cole in 2000 when it was attacked by terrorists in Yemen.

After 2003, each young officer was issued a set of 21 CD-ROMs for computer-based training — jokingly called “SWOS in a Box” — to take with them to sea and learn. Young officers were required to complete this instructor-less course in between earning their shipboard qualifications, management of their divisions and collateral duties.

...

In recent years, there’s been a push to re-energize SWO training. And on paper, they’ve got a course for every level of SWO — all the way up to the commanding officer level.

Young SWOs now get about nine weeks in fleet concentration area classrooms. Generally, these new officers report to their ship first and then get a seat in school within the first couple of months on board.

But, Parin said, “only a couple of days are dedicated to navigation and mariner skills. The rest is damage control and other material division officer-specific training.”

Another eight weeks of school comes between an officer’s first and second division officer tours. They are taught more advanced skills, but still, the professional mariner instruction isn’t what it should be, Hoffman said.

That’s still just a fraction of the original training."
1. For those who are criticizing upgradablity, there is a NEW Mac Pro design coming in 2018, modular and upgradable. I hope it will be a Cheese Grater like design but fits into a 3U Size Rack. I am pretty sure there are "comparatively" huge demand for Mac on Rack, and OSX Server in General.

2. The iMac Pro are really geared towards large segments of 3D Gfx, Photos and Videos Pros. So Professional Programmers may not be its target audience.

3. I dont believe the Cooling system is anything new. It is well engineered, but not new innovation. Which really pisses me off is because they could have done this a lot sooner, and they decide it is for iMac Pro and 27" only. I wish the normal 21 and 27 iMac gets more powerful CPU and GPU as well with the same cooling system.

4. There is nothing new on this page, why is it posted?

I do this too. You'll never have buyers' remorse if you buy the one with the largest numbers, nor will you ever run out of disk space.
I'm sure we're boring everybody, but yes, I am accounting for the case where the only copy is in the file. The OS knows that there are live references to the non-resident, file-backed page, marked as such in one or more process page tables. For any change to happen to the actual page on disk, from any program in user-space or not, and even if they think they're using write(2) rather than mmap, under the covers the OS does the moral equivalent of mapping the page, and the modification happens in memory, and the page eventually gets written back to the physical disk, but it's all unified between write() and mmap() pages, and all the wonderful semantics of mmap and sharing happen here as well. I'm not sure that this goes all the way back to the original implementation of mmap(), but as you point out, it's a pretty useless observation given the unfortunate backsliding in the Posix specification (perhaps some vendor didn't manage to get up to speed on the unified page scheme?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprachiasmatic_nucleus

The SCN receives input from specialized photosensitive ganglion cells in the retina via the retinohypothalamic tract. Neurons in the ventrolateral SCN (vlSCN) have the ability for light-induced gene expression. Melanopsin-containing ganglion cells in the retina have a direct connection to the ventrolateral SCN via the retinohypothalamic tract. When the retina receives light, the vlSCN relays this information throughout the SCN allowing entrainment, synchronization, of the person's or animal's daily rhythms to the 24-hour cycle in nature.

I'm aware I might be fighting a losing battle here but the term is "expansionary" not "inflationary".

Inflationary means that the value of a currency tends to go down over time. Expansionary means that the supply of a currency tends to go up over time.

Bitcoin is mildly expansionary at the moment because the rate of coin creation is (presumably) greater than the rate of coin destruction. At some point this will flip and it will become contractionary.

Regardless, Bitcoin is obviously highly deflationary as the value of a Bitcoin tends to go up over time.
I just tried it, but it simply hangs on connect. After ctrl+c it quits with "Connect to 127.0.0.1:11211 failed.".

Doing `echo "stats" | nc 127.0.0.1 11211` on the console returns the current memcached stats (and keeps the connection open). So I think I have the correct host/port :)

Edit: I think I found the issue: https://github.com/hyperia-sk/memcache-info/issues/1

> I won't really get into the politics of vehicles, but many people do need a car if they are to make a living, thinking otherwise is naive and unrealistic.

Like I said with "people don't inherently need cars", this line of thinking is anchored in the wrong thing. It's of course trivially true that many current jobs rely on cars, but we have to rapidly change that - otherwise much worse things than carlessness and change of job will happen to people and the ecosphere.

Try s/cars/slaves/ in your text to see what I mean.

Re coal - it is a logical fallacy to deny necessary improvement A because we have not made a tangential, equally necessary improvement B yet. Of course we have to stop burning coal as well.
