i still have a soft spot in my heart for coldfusion (and the fusebox framework) and the ease with which you could get a dynamic page up on the web. </cfmemories>

it's remarkable how resilient the dynamic templated web paradigm has been over the years. we keep coming up with new variants, like php, or even ones that run client-side, like react (reminiscent of coldfusion components), or shoehorning it into other languages like java, python and perl.
Here's a great counterpoint to corporate consolidation in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00wQYmvfhn4
It takes you longer because you waited for a disaster before figuring out how to build your production dependencies from source. If your network isn't important and the only person you're putting at risk is yourself, this is fine. But our standards for people operating networks that other people's data depends on are too low.

I don't want to single you or anyone else out about this because it's a universal problem among startups. But that doesn't make it close to OK.

Maybe 5-10 years ago companies didn't realize it. I think every major corporation has started to consider that kind of scenario now. Smaller companies may still delude themselves into thinking they aren't targets, but they probably are much less capable than big companies of investing in the required preparations to prevent those attacks.

The "black swan" events aren't costless to mitigate. In fact, they are extremely expensive. And just like there can be a black swan for cyberattacks, there can be a black swan like a terrorist attack (like companies in World Trade Center Towers 1 and 2), a massive natural disaster (think businesses in Puerto Rico right now), massive electrical outages (say an EMP or simply just Enron malfeasance), etc.

Spending to protect against and mitigate all possible black swans approaches infinity and doesn't every pay off until the extremely rare but extremely impactful event ever happens. And in cyber security, you never know because your defenses prevented it before it ever started.
OpenWrt 15.05.1 "Chaos Calmer" was released more than a year ago. I haven't seen many updates. I wonder if there's an update channel that I'm missing.

Specifically, here is where all updates are coming from: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/ge...

No updates since March 2016.

EDIT: Has development has moved to the LEDE project? I don't understand what's happening in the OpenWRT/LEDE split. There appears to be a fairly clean upgrade path, though: https://forum.lede-project.org/t/upgrade-from-openwrt-to-led...

Lightning Labs | Crypto Protocol Engineer, Frontend Developer | Remote | Fulltime

https://angel.co/lightning

At Lightning Labs, we scale blockchains. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network[1], an open blockchain scalability protocol[2] primarily being developed for Bitcoin. Lightning allows for high volume, low fee, instant payments on top of Bitcoin. We strive to continually push the edge of innovation w.r.t blockchain scalability, advanced privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. Amongst our team include applied cryptographers, the designers of the Lighting Network protocol, and several Bitcoin developers making key contributions to the open source Bitcoin eco-system such as roasbeef[3].

Cryto Protocol Engineer:

We're looking for an experienced software engineer well versed in applied cryptography, peer to peer networks, distributed systems, open source software collaboration, and cryptocurrencies. Your job description would include working on lnd[4] the most feature-complete implementation of the Lighting Network, neutrino[5] an advanced lite client operating mode for Bitcoin, conduct novel research into cryptocurrencies (and related areas), and helping to design the next generation of smart contract applications on Bitcoin.

Frontend Developer:

Our work on the second-layer of blockchains presents a number of UI/UX challenges, as we lift traditional wallets to the next layer creating a new application platform on top Lightning. As a result, we're also looking for a frontend developer that is able to pick things up quickly, develop skills in our interdisciplinary space, and has strong implementation ability. Applicants should be Javascript experts an eye for design, that have experience building applications with React and React Native.

You can contact me directly at roasbeef@lightning.engineering with some, or all of the following: link to your github account, resume, a brief cover letter detailing your past experience in the areas listed above, and some relevant work you've done.

Is it impossible for the TSA to be complicit?

I'm curious what bribery prevention mechanisms exist, for example.
About six hours per night. Never more than seven. I've been working from home on my own schedule for years, so productivity is probably not impacted either way. I seem to be consistently waking up at 0425 in the mornings. I'm 31, more or less male-bodied, and I've taken exercise only once in the last two years -- biking 70 miles to see the eclipse. I suspect I'm too much of an outlier to be of any use to this discussion, but I would like to suggest that the "early to bed, early to rise" phrase has some truth to it. I also think that proper sleep is more important than anyone's business schedule, but I don't know how well that one might go over with employers.
That's a different issue and shouldn't be resolved by letting prisoners have unrestricted access to cell phones.
Do people from West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, who speak Bengali count as bideshi?
I don't love the way H1Bs are structured either, but the notion that "Americans created it we should keep it" is silly.

Of course, H1Bs can't start companies, so that's not a very good way to look at things - if you don't legally allow category x to do y how many xs are going to do y? A better question is how many could.

But let's just talk about employees. I know I've worked at companies in the past in which the backbone of the work (not all of it, but an important part) was done by H1Bs, and we wouldn't have been able to complete that work and be solvent without the (brilliant) folks that had come over on H1Bs doing it. Those, say, 25 H1B jobs created jobs for hundreds of other folks.

So I'm just wary of thinking that everything is a zero sum game or that immigration is "taking jobs" of "Americans."
I think the bigger idea is that people who've never actually written serious code in a dynamically-typed language assume that people who do always write a bunch of extra unit tests to assert correct types, assert behavior on incorrect types, etc. etc., and that programs crashing due to type errors is a super frequent occurrence.

None of those things are true.
Just curious, at these speeds, what use case would really affect you, or people you can imagine?

30-40% in a stress test is significant. but if I'm not editing 4k videos perhaps, where would I notice this?

Even amongst us programmers who use horrible inefficient IDEs and make horrible inefficient electron apps, disk speed isn't really a noticeable bottleneck right now?

Even a convoluted local environment to simulate a server environment with a ton of microservices wouldn't really be affected much by this

Apple has been doing that for as long as I have been a Mac user - Quicktime 7 -> X, iMovie 11 -> 13, iPhoto -> Photos.app, iWork '11 -> '13, Final Cut Pro 7 -> X ... etc.

They generally seem to have few qualms releasing a reboot that does not have feature parity with its predecessor.
Personally I'd only use a language like C or C++ or Java for a tiny puny baby child's toy program. They're fundamentally unfit for real-world codebases.
>To put things in perspective, with that amount of money, Apple could acquire General Electric, Samsung or Royal Dutch Shell.

Samsung has a market cap of around 250 Billion USD. To suggest that Apple could even afford to purchase Samsung is naive.
IANAL, but this is probably a violation of DMCA anti-circumvention provisions.

Oooh, I've heard of people using it but for some reason I just thought it was an editor. I'll have to give it a try.
Perhaps it's because the languages you mentioned barely register in statistics(aside from Clojure maybe).

Maybe it's simply hard to have both a good type system and a friendly learning curve?
Is he going to space-walk within the 10min window? I doubt you need a technician (and if you do, he's probably too late).
There are several angles to analyze this...

1) Based on previous Apple acquisitions[1], acquiring a multibillion dollar conglomerate like Sony really hasn't been part of Apple's playbook. Things could change of course, (Tim Cook philosophy different from Steve Jobs, etc). If Apple somehow did buy Sony, they'd probably end up doing a carve outs for the pieces they wanted (like Google did with Motorola.)

>Cornering the imaging sensor supply. The image sensor is a critical component of the iPhone.

2) Buying Sony to get the image sensor and exclude everyone else also seems very un-Apple like. Apple seems to enjoy being a supply-chain orchestrator and keeping hardware manufacturers at "arms length" via contracts instead of owning complicated fabrication facilities. E.g. Apple didn't seriously entertain buying Corning to "own the Gorilla Glass facility"; if other smartphones got Gorilla glass, no big deal. What's the convincing business case for Apple to prefer acquiring Sony instead of just negotiating a multibillion dollar supply contract?

>Acquiring Sony would give Apple a huge competitive advantage: access to the most advanced chips of the industry, ahead of its smartphone competitors. Given the camera's importance to the iPhone, this is a strong competitive argument against Samsung’s Galaxy or Google’s Pixel.

3) The smartphone camera's quality being perceived as #1 may not even be strategically important to Apple. In the last ten years from 2007 until now, was Apple iPhone ever #1 in camera quality? It always seemed like Samsung/Lumia/Google had the better cameras and it never seemed to bother Apple. Maybe the journalist is overemphasizing the camera's importance? (Unless future cameras' sensor qualities are more integral to upcoming "virtual reality" apps and Sony has secret sauce for that scenario that nobody else has.)

For four days, I spent debugging a python production script because in one place I had typo'd ".recived=true" on an object and just couldn't understand why my state machine wouldn't work.

And very quickly, the whole team became fans of __slots__ in Python.

I still write 90% of my useful code in python, but that one week of debugging was exhausting & basically wouldn't have even compiled in a statically declared language. Even in python, the error is at runtime, after I got the __slots__ in place.

Here is a NPR article about some traditional Native American nutrition. Maybe not glamorous food, but you have to realize that a lot of the food we eat in restaurants comes from haute royal cuisine and most of our ancestors were eating the European equivalent of corn mush too.

>Those line charts are totally made up, with arguments pulled out of thin air to support this line

The line charts are there to illustrate the point, not as proof. Like not all arguments are axiomatic proofs, not all charts are plotting data.

>That 90% number is totally made up as well of course.

Yeah, we got that from reading TFA already.

>This is a perfect example of the Blub paradox btw. The author cannot imagine the abstractions that are impossible in Go, therefore he reaches the conclusion that the instances in which Go code succumbs to interface{} usage are acceptable

The author actually not only can imagine them, but plots them (e.g. how for some languages/uses cases the sweet spot will be 100% type help from the language), and explains why he thinks that interface{} can be acceptable in some cases.

>This is true, but irrelevant.

Irrelevant for you maybe. For others (and for prototyping/early exploratory use cases in general) the quick feedback cycle beats the guarantees from Haskell like types. See Bret Victor.

>In the long run with a dynamic language you have to learn best practices, patterns, etc. things that you don't necessarily need with a static type system because you don't have the same potential for shooting yourself in the foot.

I'd say that most people's experiences with typed languages like C++, Java, C# etc run counter to that. Most that I've seen anyway. Same, or even more so, for Haskell -- there are literally tons of stuff to learn, to the point it throws people off.

I restarted into MacOS for the first time since March, updated to High Sierra...wiggled around a little bit still feeling this operating system is pretty much abandonware at this point.

Restarted back into bootcamp Windows 10 minutes later.

I'll be back next March to poke around some more.

I can't see MacOS existing in 1-2 years in its current form. Apple will unify everything and move to ARM.

I almost see this as a fact at this point.

They seem to have shipped Android security patches a little early as a result, I just flashed the October 5 2017 OTA on my Nexus 6P (in spite of it being October 2 and all).
I've seen this with many app redesigns: the version that I initially downloaded and installed was a joy to use albeit a little rough around the edges in terms of appearance. In some subsequent update, the appearance changes to look very appealing, but after navigating around to find some previously killer function, it is nowhere to be found. A subsequent web search confirms my findings and fears that the feature that I previously relied upon no longer exists.

I'm not sure how to describe it: the best that I can come up with is that as something gains mass market appeal, the power users (on average the most vocal) are neglected by those they helped succeed in the marketplace.
Apple has about 7% of pc market world-wide. It's average sales price is around $1,200 to $1,400 (haven't checked lately). Average PC maker ASP is $500-$600, so Apple likely has 15-20% of market by revenues, and more than 50% of market profits, given it's 15-20% margins vs. 2% PC maker margins.

This is all PCs. In laptops it's likely that Apple's share is even higher.
Funny, we also built a lot of our technology around the Streams concept.

This got me wondering, who else should Apple buy according to submissions to HN? A quick search [1] reveals:

"Hollywood," Twitter, Tesla, "big companies," Yahoo, Netflix, Twitter (again), "a university," Tesla (again), Amazon, Disney, Yahoo (again), Facebook, Tesla (third time), "TV networks," Tesla (4th time), Nokia, foursquare, Skype, Infineon, Netflix (again).

I attempted to de-dupe things by eyeballing it (e.g., the multiple nintendo ones, etc.) but could have made missed something.
