It's possible it used to not work with an older version of WebGL/GLSL, and now it does.
Does anyone know if this is compatible with Fortran?
List typing isn't as superficial as it seems. The following has happened to me multiple times, perhaps in the last month:

I have a large code base. I want to replace a fundamental data structure to support more operations/invariants/performance guarantees. I change the type at the roots of the code base. My instance of ghcid notifies me of the first type error. I fix it. This repeats until the program compiles again. I run the tests. All the tests pass.

This is insane in Python/C/Ruby. I've had to do it in C and Python. In Haskell I do it with impunity.

The type system doesn't just check what my program does, it is the compass, map, and hiking gear that gets me through the wilderness.
Per the kubernetes-dev post, all affected GKE clusters have been patched for you:

> All GKE clusters have already been patched, so no action is necessary for GKE users. Users will see a "-gke.1" version for the MASTER_VERSION of their GKE clusters, which contains the patch.
It really isn't. If my physical wallet is stolen I can call my bank and have the cards cancelled and interim charges reversed; and I am guaranteed fraud protection at their expense. If my BTC wallet is stolen I'm fucked.
My main progamming language at the time is Java, and the amount of assistance my IDE provides is astonishing (to the surprise of no one, it's IntelliJ). The confidence strong automatic refactors provide is of great help when managing large codebases.
> Does anyone believe in using the wrong tool for the job?

Yes. PHP developers.

Dear Facebook, “Download My Archive” Is Broken and That’s Not Okay
I can see attorneys using this as a defense going forward
Being on call for 30 hours might as well be the same. All it takes is one patient that has a few emergencies in a short time frame for the sleep to get messed up. We have better regulations for train engineers and conductors - all for safety. My uncles do it, and my brother did for a while. Always on call, but once their shift starts, there is a strict limit on how long their shift is and a strict limit to how long they have free to sleep.
Is this an issue with Facebook, or an issue with the society that has yielded the wild success of Facebook?

"I read it on the internet, so it must be true."

Everybody would know I was joking, yet all of this is only an issue precisely because people are insufficiently critical of the things they read. But I'm leaving off an important part of that sentence: ... people are insufficiently critical of the things they read when such things confirm their own biases. People believe what they believe because they believe that is the most logical view to have. That causes people to turn off their filter when seeing something that confirms that belief.

Somebody censoring a belief or attaching an appeal to an arbitrary authority declaring it false isn't going to change people's minds. If anything, it could very well strengthen their resolve as they feel as though they're being oppressed or attacked. There needs to be more cordial debate and discussion between differing groups. I am not suggesting promoting a false balance, but rather pointing out that what we have now is a false balance. So many topics are optically homogenous - which gives participants and readers a gross misunderstanding of reality and leads both to less questioning of their own views, and a lack of understanding of how anybody could ever disagree with them.

I can't quite agree, from my (albeit limited) observation, the copy-paste hype from press offices is almost always the source of ridiculous overstatements that make people distrust science. The press office's job is to make the university look as good as possible, and when they play the game of telephone with the researchers, they tend to overhype far more than a disinterested reporter would. MIT press office in particular is terrible at this, as are many lesser-known but aspiring schools.
Luna Moons | Software Engineer | Austin, TX | ONSITE | Full-time

About Luna: Luna is your wedding planner for your honeymoon. With our collaborative tool, couples can customize and book pre-designed trip itineraries or create their dream honeymoon from scratch. https://www.lunamoons.com

Join a small dynamic team as we rethink the way people can plan and book their next adventure. Our stack is Django, Node.js and React. Lots of fun/hard problems to solve.

We're looking for individuals with a passion for building robust software and beautiful user experiences. A couple of years of experience would be ideal but not a deal-breaker, though you must have a solid understanding of programming fundamentals and be familiar with the technologies we work with.

If you are in Austin, get in touch with us at careers@lunamoons.com metioning "HN October" in the subject line.
We don't agree on much. But since you seem unwilling to even come to grips with what I'm saying, we can certainly agree on this:

> There's no sense in me repeating myself for a fourth time.

I certainly think there's no sense in arguing with a fundamentalist.
Definitely. Static typing lets you turn the compiler into a hard-working friend that helps you refactor large projects without going insane.

There are no diminishing returns. Defining types is easy and enhances code readability.
It's been a long road to 2.0 with lots detours but we've finally made it! Thanks to an awesome dedicated team and community :)

Lol, and yes, asking if Coldfusion is still a thing is like asking if Java is still a thing. It's a dynamic scripting language on the JVM that gets stuff done. It's not going anywhere. If you had a bad perception of CF many years ago, do yourself a favor and check out Lucee before making any comments, lest you misrepresent the language and speak out of ignorance ;) -- Remember bad code happens in every language
Yes! Many engineers use tools they like for reasons unrelated to the job they're doing or the product they're building.

Smartleaf | Sysadmin, Junior Sysadmin | Boston (Cambridge) | ONSITE, Full-time

Smartleaf is the best in the world at what we do: automated portfolio analysis. Robo-advisors, banks and investment advisors use our SaaS to manage people's money. Ex-employees have described our office as "quiet and collegial".

The integrated IT/Ops team is looking for a jack-of-all-trades sysadmin and a junior version thereof. We mostly run Debian Linux on servers and MacOS on laptops/desktops. If
it's mission critical, we manage it ourselves, from DNS through load balancing to web servers, databases and storage. We've been committed to reducing workload via automated configuration management for a long time -- so long, in fact, that we wrote our own deployment system and GPL'd it. Now we've moved systems automation over to Chef.

Five or more years of Linux sysadmin experience, please, one or more for the junior role. Having decent programming chops is good, especially in Python or Ruby. Wider experience is better. Excellent written English is necessary.

You must be clever, competent, and kind.

We offer a competitive salary, fully paid healthcare premiums and three weeks of vacation plus holidays. Office hours are very flexible and partial work-from-home can be arranged.

Process: resume screening, phone interview, in-person interview with practical test, decision.

Please send cover letters and resumes to future@smartleaf.com in plain text or PDF. In your cover letter, please tell us about an interesting technical problem that you have solved. Feel free to ask me questions, email in my profile.
VMware Workstation 14 Key with Crack Full Version Free Download
Simple.com is pretty solid from a security standpoint from my limited observations as a consumer, although they only offer two factor via SMS (not TOTP likely google, etc)
I simply checked the version of dnsmasq running on my router, it's 2.71 so according to the article the build is affected.

I'll try to launch one of the POC later in the day, but for now I assume worst case.
I can do all of those things in Smalltalk, which is dynamically typed; these things are not byproducts of static typing, they're simply byproducts of mature tools. So no, these are not arguments in favor of static types.
I agree with "defence in depth": analytics can help catch problems...

However, many here are pitching it as a primary selling point. Relying exclusively on it is a design/process failure, in my book.
Show HN: TorrentPeek – Distributed search engines using BitTorrent and SQLite | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14130280 (Apr 2017, 33 comments)

TBH I mostly just lurk there and use it as a feed of interesting things when my need for procrastination exceeds what even HN has to offer. It's surfaced some nice stories though, that I didn't see on HN.

From what limited view I've had into the community, the quality of the discussion seems similar to HN. With a lot less volume, of course.
Another reason is that read/write speeds on APFS encrypted volumes are 30-40% slower than non-encrypted volumes[1].

> If you define pacifism as "only using violence in defense of self or loved ones"

I never defined pacifism that way. It seems you are falling exactly into the trap I talked about. There are always options other than violence. They are not always good options, but neither is violence.

Aggressive and assertive action is not the same as violence.
Thank you! I kept hearing this "doctors need to be on call 30+ ,40+, 50+ hours because of handoff issues." Rarely has anyone mentioned they need to fix the handoff issue instead they prefer to keep the status quo.

Finding out that we are living in a computer simulation would probably be interesting for a few hours before everyone eventually realizes it ultimately changes nothing about our lives.
You beat me to the same comment. It's pseudoscience. I guess they're measuring the anxiety at HN that people's sunk-costs in stringly-typed runtimes won't keep guarenteeing obscene salaries.
Maxpoint | Data Science , Engineering, and Management roles | Austin, TX and Raleigh, NC

but what if the "real" universe is 10^100 bigger than our universe? i mean, if you were simulating a universe, wouldn't it make sense to do it on a smaller scale? hell, the "real" universe might have way complicated physics than "our" universe, and the physics in "our" universe is simplified for faster simulation.
You can see one result in the repository README! :)
Oh, right. I don't disagree with your sentiment, I was just adding information for HNers who didn't actually watch the video.

Consistently, my colleagues have made remarks along the lines of "I'll take the 1,000th flight after I know it's safe enough". I grew up with cars and airliners so I'm not sure what the process of convincing the public of BFR's safety will actually look like or how long it will take. For all I know, they'll give out the first 100 rides for free or at huge discounts, making all of these thoughts moot.

Cheers.
I agree. I have found mcedit (midnight commander's editor) comes very close in ease of use and has a lot of power user features. Vim snobs will turn their noses at it, but I find it very comfortable to use for editing code. It is my main editor.
Boston, MA | Sentenai | Full-time | On-site

Apply at: jobs@sentenai.com

Keywords: Haskell, Machine Learning, Distributed Systems, FreeBSD

Sentenai: Machine Intelligence. Accelerated.

Who we’re looking for:

Haskellers with an interest in distributed systems and machine learning. The more production Haskell experience, the better. Applied maths and type theory backgrounds are highly desirable, as is experience with optimizing large in-memory data structures. Our culture is built on a foundation of good communication skills and solid engineering principles. Sentenai has been built with Haskell and running on FreeBSD since day 1, and two years later Sentenai remains committed to Haskell as we grow our engineering team.

Why?

Machine intelligence represents a huge potential breakthrough in many industries, from manufacturing to aircraft maintenance. The problem is that working with sensor data to build predictive applications is a slow, time consuming process fraught with data engineering challenges. At Sentenai, we’re determined to change that.

Sentenai is the first cloud data infrastructure purpose-built for data scientists and machine learning engineers who need to rapidly mine diverse sensor data sets for behavioral patterns and build targeted training sets for predictive models.

At the core of Sentenai is a novel set of distributed machine learning technologies and a distributed time-series query engine that natively understands sensor fusion and cross-stream pattern mining. Applied to our distributed data storage and indexing system, these technologies help Sentenai abstract away the details or data preparation, storage and querying on time series data to provide users with a clean data interface to their data without exposing them to the complexities of the underlying database technologies we develop.

Company details:

Sentenai is based in Cambridge, MA in Central Square. Our founding team has deep experience in the IoT space and our engineering team consists of Haskell engineers with a wide range of experience levels (from two to ten years) and non-computer interests (like travel, euro games, playing music, cooking, and hunting for fine wine). We love open source and conferences/meetups, so you’ll probably see some of us attending various conferences or organizing meetups around our interests. Our investors include funds like Flybridge, Founder Collective, Hyperplane and Project 11.

Sound interesting? Contact us at jobs@sentenai.com.
I think dynamic typing proponents get hung up on the auto-complete aspect. The real benefit is when you find someone writing a property with a common-ish name to a data structure and you want to know "who the hell uses this", you can answer that question pretty easy in statically typed languages. In dynamically typed languages you kind of just grep and hope the name is not too common.
Pivotal | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales, Admin | Locations worldwide | ONSITE

Pivotal's goal is to transform the way the world builds software. We mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Palo Alto (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming. We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. We pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platform available: We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. Our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever and it's still zooming up and to the right.

Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial cloud (Pivotal Web Services).

Cloud R&D is also responsible for Pivotal Tracker and Spring.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode, is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPAs than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

-- Applying

To see open jobs, go to pivotal.io/careers. To apply, please go to my referral link: http://grnh.se/xiy346

You can also email me at jchester+hn-oct17@pivotal.io if you have questions. I won't reply to copypasta. I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here. These help me earn a referral bonuses, which I appreciate.
Of course pacifism means violence is never the answer. And that is exactly what I meant. I also believe that pacifism doesn't stop me from acting aggressively and assertively. I fail to see how my position is not "pacifism."
