I think this makes a lot of sense - that way people that want to bring their own food don't feel ripped off.
Sony’s updated PlayStation VR won’t block HDR
Except they’re not storing any device IDs at all, they’re hashing the IDs with a salt that they rotate and dispose of daily. They can only infer movement of a device through the system, they can’t tie that back to any device after the fact, and can’t even tie the same device’s movements together over the course of more than one day.
Hey, developer of this React component here. I run several SaaS startups and we always wanted a good email editor that we can quickly embed in our applications. Couldn't find one that's free and solid so we decided to build one.

It takes less than 5 minutes to get started with this React component. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Because with the way stream IDs are conceived you also get time-based range queries for free. With time series this is very important in many use cases.
The O'Reilly Safari system is a great alternative to paywalls. You pay for Safari and it pays out royalties to the authors proportional to how many users read your book that month.

So an author of a book that had 200 readers would get roughly double the pay of one that has 100 readers.

I would gladly pay for a kind of all access pass that divided up my subscription money to the news sites I visited the most.

Of course, if someone goes to 200 different sites equally an individual publisher would get less from that customer but I think that's fair.
How common, if at all, were you contacted by patrons willing to fund your newspaper or news organization?

Do any news organizations operate off of endowments, or trusts, like colleges? (I guess that leads to another question, are there national news organizations that are non-profits as well?)
Well, no, it's because jail/prison is supposed to be punishment, even though we occasionally pretend it's for rehabilitation. There are many studies like the one you link that show ways in which we could improve our prison system to reduce recidivism, violence, etc., but the people who run it aren't sympathetic to the inmates, and voters don't vote for politicians that run on helping those in prison.
oh man, i hate those software that automatically try to guess the user language! even more annoying when it chooses the wrong language for you. in my case PT (Portugal) instead of PT-BR.

argh.
That can be partially solved by putting them in slightly out of the way locations. The stigma is really against being seen sleeping at work, not necessarily taking naps.

Of course, this is not ideal, but it's a baby step in the right direction.

For someone paranoid about correctness, that's 1% of lingering doubt about every single operation in the IDE.

The 99% stat is quite likely a big exaggeration.

Refactoring is far far harder to do reliably, and more straining as so much more responsibility on the programmer.

Don't want dogs or cats in the office. Especially cats with all this stuff coming out about toxoplasmosis.
Here's the approach I've been working on:

-Pay $~4/mo

-Every upvote you give during that month (not just views, since I think views encourage clickbait) gives an equal slice of that $4 pie.

-At the end of the month, a flat $1 goes to pay for server costs, then the rest is distributed evenly between every upvote.

You can see a mini-demo here: http://syd.jjcm.org/soci/

The nice part of it is it ranks by quality while distributing payments. Since payouts happen at the end of the month, it gives a buffer zone to "unvote" something should it turn out to be fake/stolen/etc. The $1/mo for server costs should be more than enough per user to keep things running smoothly without the need for ads/selling user data. I'm working on it solo right now, if anyone is interested in helping out I'd be more than happy to share the project. Or if you're just inspired by it, go ahead and copy it. I think it's a solid model and is worth pursuing, though I'd also appreciate criticism on it.
Dave.com | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | ONSITE | Full Time

Dave.com is disrupting the $36b overdraft fee industry. From within our (React Native) iOS and Android apps, users can request a paycheck advance of up to $75 with no interest.

We are a product and engineering-driven company first and are focused on building a quality team vs a large team. You will be a formative part of our company culture moving forward. To that point, we want someone that can take ownership of a project from beginning to end and can do it on their own.

Backed by Mark Cuban, SV Angel, the Chernin Group, Kraft, Diplo, and others, we're well funded and located in sunny Los Angeles.

Requirements:

* Frontend and backend web development experience

* 3+ years of Javascript

* Experience building and shipping real products

* Familiarity with web and mobile security best practices

Stack:

* API: Node.js, Python/Flask, MySQL, Redis, hosted on Google Cloud

* Website: React (static, hosted on S3)

* iOS/Android: React Native

We're a small team of six (four engineers) looking to add another engineer to the mix. Apply directly to me at dick@dave.com, include a brief summary of the last product you built and shipped. If email is not your thing, use this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1vaJ4IB9_Lvwpv6eLLYv3mlJy9vr...
It's a good list with a lot of sense. My one minor nit is that they don't stock soda because it's not healthy. Let people be themselves and make their own decisions: you should provide something to drink and it should be what the employees want, not necessarily what you want.
Somehow I read it as "CAMERAS" so I thought it was about endoscopes or something. Still, happy with how my reading experience turned out.

Where did you get this 1000x stellar mass figure from? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravitational_wave_obs... so far the observed merger components were between 7.5 and 35.4 solar masses.

The sample of stars in the night sky is biased by luminosity and longevity. I'd be curious to see a distribution of stellar masses that compensates for these two biases. On such a chart, extrapolating the trend in the high-mass range just before the error bars become too large would tell us whether 30-solar-mass stellar remnants are expected or unexpected by observation data.
Confluent only officially supports the Java client (and now has a Python, Go and .Net clients as well that I didn't know) and it is really recommended to use the client with the same version of broker due to protocol incompatibilities.

Most Kafka client implementations are open-source projects of their own, this is also true for most redis clients implementations, but again: Kafka protocol is much more complicated than Redis.

I haven't used Kafka with other languages besides Java or Scala, so I can't really say how mature are the other clients.

But my point about how easy is to implement a client for Redis if needed is still valid. =)

I thought extracting bone marrow was very painful. Can you comment on the procedure and pain involved?
Does manning need to increase for headcount in these particular positions to increase? I always figured there was a certain level of "bloat" positions in peacetime militaries—the military equivalent of middle-managers—who certainly went through the same boot-camp as everyone else once upon a time, are still required to pass regular physical exams like everyone else, and so could simply have their duties extended/rebalanced to have them do more man-on-the-spot work as well as their clerical duties. That's what happens when a war starts, no?

There's also a good chunk of personnel who, even in peacetime, end up injured or disabled on the job (such as my friend the CPO with a sudden heart condition) who are required by doctor's orders to not do some tiny part of their job, and then regs dictate that they just not do that job at all—so they're either honourably discharged (and now receive VA benefits), or they're kept, but desked. In a more "efficient" military, these people (who are mostly still able to do 99% of their jobs) would just have their duties adjusted, with the one part of their workload they can't handle reallocated to their peers, so they can continue converting payroll into duties performed, rather than chairs sat on.
To have a continuous effect, this would need some persistent e-inkpaper to redraw cars, obstacles or similar stuff on the road.

Also, sorry to say it - but the speed limit is set by the common lowest denominator- meaning, a old guys reflexes, in a fully loaded lorry with the worst possible breaks must stop at the smallest acceptable visible range at clear weather.
Glad I could help
good luck
I think the point was that just getting up and going somewhere is healthier than sitting in one place all day, regardless of what type of food you're eating.
That's the model used by Flattr [1]. They started years ago. Not sure why adoption is taking so long.

there have definitely been cold, calculating, studies done on the cost/benefit of doctor sleep to shift changeover ratios, and I don't know if it's 30 hours, but i do recall that it does not comport to your 'feel good' notions of how much a doctor should sleep.

Sure, but to bring it back to the original question, the fact that you can trivially distinguish floating point from word types already means statically typed languages are easier to optimize than dynamically typed languages for numerical programs.

And there are all sorts of optimizations like this that simply aren't available to dynamically typed languages. Tracing JIT can only take you so far.
Unfortunately, sounds like they fail at the minimum criteria for a sane workweek. In particular: "our team tends to work long days".

Who cares about anti-perks or perks if you're expected to work crazy hours?
I'm sure the fact that so many of our prisons are private, for-profit entities has nothing to do with it.
I think he's asking the community not YC directly
On a social justice level, I agree with you, but I want to point out that for the folks who are actually globalists, the "population" is 7 billion humans, and the 150 million rural & small town Americans are a rounding error (just over 2%, or roughly half the population of Internet Explorer users). That's why it's important to secure the rights of minorities in any system of government.
That's the way most micropayment systems currently work. No, it doesn't solve the problem, because really all you're doing is exchanging dollars for credits. You still have to decide, every time, whether you want to spend a certain number of credits to view a certain piece of content.
The one "perk" I think is uncommon but should be standard is nap rooms.

Or just respect for sleep (and other forms of tuning out), on- or offsite, period.

Including such forms as "I came in at 11 today, because there were no meetings scheduled. And for some reason my body wanted me to stay under until 9 or so this morning, instead of the usual 7-730a, and to chill for a bit and rise gently instead of jumping out of bed. So that's what I did. Being as this is clearly the way our species was designed to operate, if we are to achieve long-term optimal performance."

"But then again, it's not like I have to explain that to you. We're all adults here, so as long as work gets done no one thinks twice about, or even stops to notice really, what time people come in in the morning."
No, I don't, which is why I posted my comment. To me, if Apple has the same amount of money as Samsung is worth, then it makes sense that they could buy them. But your comment makes it sound like that's an absurd notion.
ChatShipper | Senior Backend Engineer | Amsterdam, Netherlands | REMOTE okay, https://www.chatshipper.com

We are a small (~5) team of developers building a SaaS messaging platform. While working as a fully distributed team, we value the occasional face time in our Amsterdam office. Our solution links hundreds of customer support agents to tens of thousands of consumers. We're trying to change, enhance and streamline the way people interact with organizations.

We are seeking a strong software engineer to help further develop our messaging hub product and expand our microservices infrastructure on Google Cloud. Ideally you'll have deep experience running production software (DevOps), and can balance adding customer value (shipping fast) with clean code and architecture.

Upcoming/ongoing projects:
- Create chat bots, using NLP apis and Google cloud functions
- Develop a widget framework
- Extend our API gateway (OAuth, rate limiting)
- Write an SDK to our API
- Improve infrastructure monitoring

Our tech stack: Google Cloud, Ansible, Nodejs, MongoDb, React

If you're interested, please email peter@chatshipper.com
I'm also very surprised by this "perk" that seems to be so widespread in the US. I sometimes feel like "dog people" can't internalize the fact that just because they like dogs, not everybody does! :)

Our office is "dog friendly", but we have some rooms where dogs are forbidden to make sure allergic employees have a space to go to. Still don't really like this policy.
I used to work for a company that would cater dinner for anyone who wanted to stay late (culturally it was encouraged to go home but some people liked starting at 2pm). While the options seemed healthy on paper (e.g. spaghetti, broccoli beef, etc), the food was full of preservatives and extremely low quality. It wasn't much better than going to McDonalds. I think it depends a lot on how much the company is willing to spend on the catered lunches/dinners.
Especially small yappy dogs.
What Makes Singapore’s Health Care So Cheap?
I've worked at UK army bases where dogs are routinely brought on site. In some places the owners have to fit gates to their office doors to stop them randomly wandering around, and I've not seen dogs in open plan environments. In some places, in principle, the owners have to gain consent from others (those with allergies or nervousness). But I've not seen specific problems.

At least the cavalry types no longer ride their horses to work.
Agreeing on those points :)
Actually, I think the opposite might happen. If click-bait works by obfuscating the real headline of the article, then readers might choose not to click on a link due to uncertainty aversion. To put it simply, if click-bait works when you don't know what the article is about and it costs nothing to know, charging a fee (no matter how small) could kill it.
Okay thanks for the answer. I know two people who were early employees at Playdom and they both got fucked, and they both said that most people left with a disproportionately small exit, unlike companies like Facebook or Google that were more generous with their employee stock options. This would be my biggest concern with a company like Brava so caveat emptor.
Thanks a lot for mentioning it! :-)

Ewig uses RRB-Trees (Relaxed Radix Balanced Trees) which like ropes, is confluent (supports fast concatenation) but has very stable bounds otherwise, similar to a vector-like type.

EDIT: The parent mentions a video, I gues it is the CppNow talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsryQp0UAC8
Last week I did another version of that talk at CppCon (with slightly deeper coverage of Ewig) but I don't think it is in Youtube yet.
The first answer is obviously auto-updates.

The second answer is also obvious: Try to avoid as many bugs as possible before shipping the product. If you include a highly exposed software like dnsmasq make sure you look for bugs in it before shipping it.

I don't remember having seen any professional security audit for dnsmasq before. Such an audit is probably an almost irrelevant expense for all the router manufacturers out there, yet none of them chose to fund one...
Our First Windows Store App Acquisition
You can download 5.6.1 from Apple:

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536?locale=en_US

You will need to manually unpack it via pkgutil/tar. However, it will won't run under 10.12 since it requires an older version (Mountain Lion) of Apple80211.framework. Assuming you have a copy of the older framework, you can make it work.

Fortunately, someone has already done this work:

Great Moments in the History of OOP
We see grit as in "You want to write about company engineering culture? Draft it, review it, share it and publish it". Not as in "work crazy hours until you burn out".

It is true that grit can be taken the way you said. And it's also true that Algolia being a great company to work for we get excited about work and sometime want to deliver outside 9 to 5.

Still we do ensure via regular one on one how people behave/work and we adjust/advise them when we see that they frequently work too much/burn out.

Finding the sweet spot of work life balance is hard. We want people to feel passionate about what they do instead of looking at the clock waiting to finish work.

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Seattle, Austin, London, Dublin, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... .

Facebook | Solutions Engineering Manager | Paris | Onsite

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in Paris. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required. Roughly half the time would be spent on people management, with the other half on Solutions Engineering work.

We are looking for someone fluent in French.

We will consider a very experienced tech lead that would like to make the transition into people management.

Yes. We call that 'typing'.
Payroll tax. And cutting perks is easier than cutting salaries.
EDIT: I should say that the first command wouldn't work anyway because argv is NUL-terminated -- I mentioned this in "Note 2" with respect to grep.

But still I'm failing to see what your point is about the "real bash solution". That's what this is, at least if you want to be 100% correct about escaping.

I criticized the "normal bash solution" in the section on "The Worst Parts of Shell".
I've been writing PHP for a couple months and I've been pleasantly surprised so I feel like I am moving beyond that.
fyi, this post needs (2016) added to the title.
I should not need to be best of the best to be accepted/treated equally. The "if you are like the most capable men in a room then ... we will be surprised but accept that" is not equality and strawcase.

Equality is that beginner women is also treated the same way as beginner men. It means that women who knows enough to bluff the same way semi knowledgeable men bluff is treated the same way as them. Nobody is born knowing it all and pretty much all highly knowledgeable men started as confident dudes who did not knew much, but were assumed to be participants. I personally started that way and pretty much lucked the environment. Seen other environments too and yep, it is a difference.

The masses of people who just knew whole their life they are good and never been beginners are just adults with low self awareness.
