I found Ruby (even in something like RubyMine) to be a far cry from even the basic stuff you get from Java. Suggestions for vars and funcs that don't actually exist really slowed down things.
But even the asymptotes are an assumption derived from pure thought experiment.
Verge would be another cryptocurrency that comes with anonymity baked in and considering it uses TOR network, I'd venture to say it is the best tool for protecting your privacy.

I'm very aware of what Venter has accomplished, but I don't think sequencing Haemophilus influenza is more impactful than sequencing PhiX or phage and don't think it deserves a Nobel. I don't think a Nobel should be given out for the sequencing of the human genome. It was a large, systematic effort that didn't require much clever experimentation. I also don't think his post-Celera work deserves a Nobel. These are just my opinions. He's obviously a huge figure in modern science and I love hearing about him and getting to watch him speak.
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

* Database Expert

* Frontend Software Engineer, London & LA

* Quantitative Analyst

* Software Engineer, London & LA

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers/ . (Quite some time ago I wrote an overview about our engineering challenges, which you can find at https://smarketshq.com/notes-on-interviewing-engineers-a4fa4... )
Why we have not succeeded in disrupting tech recruitment
How to prototype an awesome product walkthrough
My experience so far with women in cryptocurrency as someone who attends quite a few meetups:

The Beginner - Doesn't know much about cryptocurrency or technology in general, wants to learn about it for various reasons. There are men who fall into this category of course. I usually enjoy talking to these people.

The Enthusiast - Knowledgeable and experienced in cryptocurrency topics. Fun to talk to.

The Feminist - Might know something about cryptocurrency, but all she seems to do is plug the various "women in cryptocurrency" groups around the city. Rarely contributes to the conversation. Writes whiny blog/Twitter posts like this one.

I think everyone is getting tired of this browbeating.

Wall Street Firms to Move Trillions to Blockchains in 2018
I like for example Refined

https://github.com/fthomas/refined

not only for the static checking,

scala> val i: Int Refined Positive = -5
<console>:22: error: Predicate failed: (-5 > 0).
val i: Int Refined Positive = -5

but the expressive descriptions of a domain model.
The alternative is to deprive people willing to manually manage patches of the ability to protect their networks, so that everyone can wait for people who don't take that level of responsibility over their networks to get a one-line installer. That's no alternative at all.
To block news sources in Google News go to Settings > Sources and add the domain to the Block section.

Used to have to add the source, then slide the frequency slider down to 0. Looks like Google automatically moved them to blocked.

Better yet, just have a setting to automatically block all sites using paywalls. They have a right to deploy paywalls, we have a right to request never to see them in our feed.

How to Make Enemies and Lose Influence in the Chip Business
From the following NYT's article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/29/opinion/mark-zuckerberg-f...

"Are you bothered by fake news, systematic misinformation campaigns and Facebook “dark posts” — micro-targeted ads not visible to the public — aimed at African-Americans to discourage them from voting? You must be one of those people “upset about ideas” you disagree with.

Are you troubled when agents of a foreign power pose online as American Muslims and post incendiary content that right-wing commentators can cite as evidence that all American Muslims are sympathizers of terrorist groups like the Islamic State? Sounds like you can’t handle a healthy debate.

Does it bother you that Russian actors bought advertisements aimed at swing states to sow political discord during the 2016 presidential campaign, and that it took eight months after the election to uncover any of this? Well, the marketplace of ideas isn’t for everyone."
We cant all be british. Which regarding humor is quite sad.
Yeah, I agree: Two of the languages with the best autocomplete and introspection in general are Common Lisp and Smalltalk. Some of that's simple maturity, but it proves that those features can work very, very well in even the most dynamic languages around.

The article discusses this extensively, and is perhaps more even-handed than its title might suggest. The balance seems to be that Instagram may be a net positive for restaurants, but not for food; those things are not the same, and the author's hypothesis is that short term optimization for the former may result, in the longer run, significant negative impact on the latter, which will of course circle back around again and hurt the former dramatically. This seems pretty compelling to me. It's easy (and not always wrong) to dismiss dismissivness around advertising in food as hoighty pretension, but I think there's a worthy conversation to be had in the form-over-function optimization it encourages. Visual spectacle is only one axis on which food needs to be appreciated, and the concern here is that it's being over-emphasized at the expense of other, very important factors.
The instructions are backup, reformat, restore.
What about the people that live where he is re-introduced? Is silently disowning someone by pushing a ecology that will make it vanish acceptable?
Instagram is elevating food. It's an amazing discovery tool for finding new places to eat.

This entire article is predicated on the fact that no-one Instagrams boring ol' stew -- but this is not true at all.

Clickbait title. Useless article.
Clearing cache doesn't fix it. So far the only way I can get it to load is by putting a breakpoint inside initializePolymerPage just before it appends bundleScript to head, and setting bundleScript.src = 'bundle.js?<anything>' and then resuming execution. Like I said, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

CrowdJustice | London, UK | Software developers | Onsite | Full-time | https://www.crowdjustice.com

CrowdJustice (www.crowdjustice.org) is an early-stage, VC-backed, tech-for-good company. We help people access the courts and the legal system through crowdfunding. Since launch in 2015 we have helped important cases raise £millions in funding, seen claimants get their cases to the Supreme Court, given communities a voice – and we’ve been featured in the Guardian, FT, BBC, TechCrunch, NYT and more.

We are looking for developers to join our lean team in central London: https://crowdjustice.workable.com/j/F6CD5380FC

The CrowdJustice platform backend is written in Python, Django and Postgres, with the front-end in Javascript, HTML and SASS – though you don't need experience in all of these.

You'll be working on new features across the stack, e.g. important (think AML, KYC, fraud detection) internal tools for our awesome case support team and optimising our onboarding flow for new cases. As we're a small startup, expanding quickly (especially into the US), this is likely to change often and we welcome any help directing the product and technology.

Interview Process: 20-30 minute phone/hangouts chat about the role (no surprise technical questions!); a 1-2 hour technical task that we pay you to complete; a 1.5 hour on-site interview where we'll discuss the technical task, pair program some work and talk about your future at CrowdJustice; if successful, a fair offer and the chance to join a well funded startup early on its mission to increase access to justice!

If you have any questions send them across to: gavin ~a-t~ crowdjustice.com
Why my favorite color is red not blue...
I'm researching how to get more of that thinking augmented by the computer, since with the programming tools that we have today, much of what we do still happens in our heads. If our programming experience were much richer, we'd probably start clamoring for more advanced hardware to go with it.

Indeed! I think one of my favourites has to be:

[xml]$someXmlDocument = Get-Content "path\to\file.xml"

And you get a deserialized version of the XML text.

Also the fact that you can use types when declaring function arguments, removing the need to manually test if an object of the desired type was passed.

Powershell definitely strikes a good balance on type safety for a scripting language.
I doubt there are many new companies starting to use CF, but it was a good option in 2001 when CF5 came out when compared to PHP4, ASP3, or CGI from those days. Companies that have a decade of CF code is not going to just replace it all because it is not the cool flavor of the week. It works and generally does an OK job.

It has always been an approachable language to people that don't program full time. It looks and feels like HTML, so novice programmers were productive fairly quickly in CF. Career programmers tend to not like it since it is verbose and restrictive, but I have know numerous people use CF as a jumping point for programming and IT careers solving company problems with a bit of code.
When it comes to laws there a general good approach to make them very general. General laws a morally useful since we then treat people equal and in fair ways using objective methods to measure success.

So to take such approach here, should a nation make a distinction between a brothel and a construction company? Both has a certain amount of work related injuries, exposure to hazards, and a long history of exploiting workers. A common law can regulate, monitor, and minimize those problems for all industries, and measure the success using establish methods. If workers are in a weak bargaining position then that is often the signal for nations to step in and demanding things like minimum safety rules, minimum wages, overseeing boards, and increased liability for companies.
