Hey, I’m one of the founders of Nextjournal, the coding, writing and publishing platform this article was written in.

This probably isn’t obvious: you can get a copy of the article and play with it if you click remix and sign in/up.

There’s some more context about what we’re trying to build and why in our launch post https://medium.com/nextjournal/launch-nextjournal-public-bet...
why should they change the brand for your delicate sensibilities?

the whole point of google is that its an incredibly complicated piece of technology simplified into a search bar. a simple, fun brand - makes sense to have a playful work enviornment.
I wish calendars would come with booking ability. If I want to schedule a conference room, a laptop, the company car, and the spare parking permit (for example), I have to go to four separate calendars. I'd rather be able to schedule an event and assign resources to it.

I've used Rapla (http://rapla.org/) for this in my lab, and it worked nicely. You schedule an event, it lets you know what resources are available for that timeslot.
Did you just edit "freaking"?
Interesting, I wasn't aware of these issues. I'm pretty much strictly doing web & server development though
I fail to comprehend what about bright colors means they are primary school aesthetics. Why should adults only have drab shades of gray?
Metaballs are always nice, but I think this page (that was linked in the article) that shows compass&straight-edge constructions to be especially nifty:

I saw your analogy got downvoted because people didn't like it.

But I've talked with prominent lawyers about this distinction and securities laws are flexible enough to include practically any product in their purview.

The Howey Test isn't the only test that courts and regulators have created.

There are several tests floating amongst the states and various federal circuits, which can and have deemed otherwise benign products and services as things that should be registered as securities with the most onerous costs and distinctions.

A California country club's member fees were deemed securities under one framework.

And every kickstarter and centrally issued product can under other frameworks.

There is nothing wrong with your analogy. The securities regulators generally don't try to stifle all commerce so far.

The idea that all ICOs will experience this form of securities discrimination - just for the mere fact they are using cryptographic hashes and get a lot of revenue/capital - is just as logically unsound.

But they could. Just like almost every product or service could. When they do it will quickly evolve securities law towards a more apt framework. Its not about "securities or not" its about consumer and investor protection, and this is currently the tool available.
that's not how the money supply works.

US Treasury != US Federal Reserve

If you give the Federal Reserve a dollar it ceases to exist. If you give the Treasury a dollar it will go out and spend it on something, the dollar will continue to exist. Taxes go to the Treasury.
> Maybe they did other under-the-hood changes that are just not being discussed. If so, where would one find them?

Yeah the article here is explicitly "10 Best New Features" and so doesn't explicitly include improvements to old features, and clearly doesn't represent the breadth of changes in the Windows release.

The easiest way to find hints about just about every change made in the update is probably to browse through the Windows Insider blogs. They are quite detailed and rather intimate looks into the changelog of Windows over time. I don't know if anyone is building a good summary of everything that changes. Some of the area-specific blogs will do summary posts just before the release of everything going into the release; in particular I'm thinking about summary posts I've seen from the Windows Subsystem for Linux team (biggest tl;dr: multiple distro support, side-by-side distro-support, no need for Developer Mode anymore, just download distro(s) of your choice from Windows Store) and Windows CLI/CMD.exe team.

As with each previous update, more Settings have incrementally moved to the modern Settings app, per your point 2. That likely will remain a slower process than everyone would like (there are a lot of Windows settings), but they continue to work on it.

I can't speak to most of your other points as they've not been personal pain points for me; I don't do most of them often enough to notice.
I guess I just can't understand where you are coming from then.

Someone said that PEGs don't solve ambiguous grammars. I said that's wrong - they do - they are no longer ambiguous. Now people are arguing about having to understand the grammar and how languages should be designed and things like that? Seems irrelevant to me.

I thought there was one precise technical question - do PEGs make solve the problem of ambiguous grammars. Yes they do - they are no longer ambiguous. If you define your language using a PEG you will never have any ambiguity in your grammar. Seems solved to me!
We can, but let’s not take away one side’s agency and responsibility. Google might’ve driven Boston Dynamics into the ground, but who sold the company to Google?

I agree, Windows is much better at backwards compatibility.

OTOH I've found that it's not such a big deal in practice. In my 10+ years as a mac user I've only hit this problem a couple of times. Likewise in Windows I rarely open old outdated software.

That is of course my anecdotal and personal experience.
Cant tell if sarcasm
Can watch movies/tv, browse the web (especially on the new planes with gate to gate wifi).
Most of the coins, like filecoin, exist only in the whitepaper. Quite a lot have a roadmap of releases. There is no actual product, users or even a alpha or beta release. So I don't know why are they even thought of as IPOs.

Sure ICOs are platform for raising money but only in the riskiest sense. In some cases people are paying only for the R&D to be done by "core" team on some unproven but maybe tenable idea.

As for the profit mechanism, most of the cryptocurrency rely on finite and deflationary nature of coins to provide value. If say filecoin is proven to be valuable, finite nature ensures the price increases in short term all the while block rewards (coins given to miners) tapers off to ensure the coins are always limited.
I'm not OP, but I think it's likely that in another 2008-style recession where the risk is systemic, the value of Bitcoin is likely to rise as people seek something that can be traded easily yet is not tied to fiat currencies likely to pull each other down (e.g. USD and Euro).
Another wish of mine for google calendar is to turn on a confirm move dialogue. It is too easy to move an event accidentally, and because all the time documentation in the event gets updated, I lose the actual time of the event. I've taken to embedding the date and time into text describing the event. PIA
I needed a tool like this! Thank you!
Docker for Windows is pretty much unusable at the moment.

thank you for taking out time and commenting. I love AR & VR. I believe they are the future and will become more mature with time. I am very interested in autonomous driving cars and want to explore them. But it is not possible and it discourages me to not being able to work on things you like.
There's a HUGE difference between "a president you don't like" and "a president who's entire platform was removing people like you from the country".
While the job doesn't sound like it involves "cool things that matter" and paints a pretty believable picture of working at a large corporation, I do find it interesting that this was published by thr Washington Post. Being owned by Amazon, a direct competitor to Google on many fronts (the war for cloud computing market share is/will continue to be huge), it seems suspicious that this is truly unbiased coverage. It strikes me as a possible next iteration of native advertising. This is not an attack on WP -- just something I thought might be worth discussing. The tech giants are becoming increasingly more powerful and this could be a new frontier to assert that power.
Not yet, but I would love to see someone do that.
Most people who dislike Trump don't dislike him because he's Republican, most don't even believe he's a true Republican, or conservative, or evangelical. He was a New York Democrat in the past, supported gun control, abortion, etc, therefore his ideological core is questionable to say the least.

What people dislike, beyond the sheer incompetence and pathological lying and bragging, is a tendency to play to the worst aspects of the crowd, for narcissistic reasons. That is, people are upset because they believe Trump is a person who will stoke up division for no reason other than it gets applause and attention, and often, the "heel" in WWE Wrestling parlance that Trump uses turns out to be the least powerful.

Yeah, I bet they peg the average "storage" per customer around 300GB. People are forced to manage the space on their HDD and not simply dump everything to Dropbox. If everyone used the 1TB... I imagine Dropbox wouldn't look the same pricing wise and/or have some serious heart ache about it.

Like over provisioning in the VPS space... maybe, I don't know for sure, just throwing this out there food for thought.
Qcom owns most CDMA patents. Thats why samsung doesn't put its chip in the US phone and the same reason apple pays qualcomm for every phone sold.
I find myself wishing there was more contrast between 24hrs and the days scale on the remoteness chart. The scale goes up pretty quickly from 2 days to 10 days and it's really hard to tell what would be more than 24hrs of travel time. I say this because I was looking at the chart thinking anything dark was 10 days which was weird that certain parts in Australia would be 10 days when, next to them, was just hours but it turns out the darkness is just present for lower numbers.

Nobody is arguing Google's right to express political opinions, but the fact that their culture does so is counterproductive to a meritocratic structure. They seem to be more concerned about virtue signalling than creating an environment that focuses on professional and economic growth.

Sure you can. I've gotten macos installed in a vm and even ran a hackintosh for a while which was remarkably easy these days.
Yes, we have. Those attacks don't apply to viewing data on CSVshare, which doesn't have the vulnerabilities of Excel or Google Sheets. However, be careful about opening CSVs in Excel or Google from CSVshare or any other source, unless you trust the person who uploaded them.

You leave your interns to do code quality refactors? Seems like something more experienced engineers should do.
Except, that's the point - people are overly emotional. All this waking up the next morning and the world is different is such a stretch. Nothing has changed.
For those who were paying attention it was pretty clear what was happening...
I've worked for big tech corporations a few times before, no matter how much they pay, I can never stay there longer than 6 months. There is so much inefficiency. It's good for 6 months but after that I feel myself getting dumber by the day. Not all corporations are like this but most of them are.

Handing my resignation felt great every time. It's addictive in fact. Just seeing the disappointment in my boss' face and the jealousy in the eyes of my colleagues brings me profound life satisfaction.
Probably both, if my experiences in this industry in the Midwest are any indicator of how things are at Google...
Bitcoin could be tulips[1] instead of gold. Low transaction throughput and the insane lack of privacy for transactions via the public ledger. I concur more with your Monero position.

Automated emails are pretty shit, and easy to spot. They also tend to turn off most people, making recruiting more difficult.
If the recruiter is given specific hiring criteria that are hard but not impossible to satisfy, I could imagine looking for people who fit those requirements and persuading them to sign up would be a satisfying job of search, selection and salesmanship.

But that's not what these Google recruiters are doing. They are trying to find any vaguely qualified people they can who are willing to dive head-first into the meat-grinder that is the Google interview process. And their job is mostly futile because that process will ultimately reject 90-95% of the candidates.

Ask HN: What prevents someone from making their own Facebook client?
I'm curious about the technical/logistical/legal impediments to someone creating their own portal for accessing personal Facebook data?

The project would look something like this:
1. Each user obtains Facebook API access tokens for an app that they create themselves.
2. Some web developer creates a website of their own, either run locally or hosted, that interacts with the Facebook API. They give it some open license and put it up on GitHub.
3. Users follow step-by-step instructions of what the config file should look like.
4. They spin it up and have a website that draws its data (possibly saving to a local DB) containing zero ads, and their friends' recent content displayed according to an algorithm of their choice.

I'm a python web developer, and I'm cognizant of (but not daunted by) the scope of such a project. Given time and coffee, it seems reasonably doable, relative to the benefits of being able to take control over how I consume social data.

In the unlikely scenario that I haven't missed roadblocks to such a project, has anyone ever heard of a self-hosted Facebook client that solves the "I don't like ads" and "I want to have algorithmic control over the content I see" issues?

In the much more likely event that I'm missing a legal or technical consideration, what are those? I can see the 200 API calls/hour rate limit being an issue, but not necessarily a show-stopper if I keep data ingestions scripts running 24/7 (and don't mind some content being slightly older). Image usage, privacy considerations, storing the data as a TOS violation, etc... all of the above are X factors for me.

An initial look through Facebook's TOS didn't reveal anything explicitly against this, but I'm not a lawyer and have no confidence in my ability to read that document and decide if a personal version of this app (or the open sourced version) would violate terms of service.

Bonus Points: Same question, but for Twitter?
Black-Scholes was prescient went it first hit the scene in the late 60s/early 70s. Ed Thorp (who independently derived the formula before B-S published it) made tens of millions of dollars applying it through his statistical arbitrage hedge fund. It was the most accurate predictor at the time.

It's also remarkable that four people independently derived the formula:
"In coming up with a trading strategy for warrants, Ed discovered a handy formula. A few years later, three finance professors independently came up with their own slight mathematical variant of the same formula. Ed Thorp, Myron Scholes, Robert Merton, and Fischer Black all had almost the same formula, but each had a different reason for believing it was true. Ed showed that it was a way to make money..."

Thanks for that. When I see the string "Google SoC", I interpret that to expand to "Google Summer of Code" so I was rather confused.

I'm going to reply here because multiple people said it:

I'm aware that stall training is a common occurrence but the difference here is that you're testing with a plane that is massive and may have no nearly been tested as much before. What struck me was the "Make sure it can recover" it's not a test for the pilot's training to see if he can recover it. It's testing the plane's capability to recover. Sure the pilot could still end up recovering it if it doesn't but the sheer size of this plane is what mostly made me surprised!
I used to have both Office 365 sub which comes with 1TB OneDrive and Dropbox personal but I've since unsubbed my dropbox plan as OneDrive now has smart sync baked in with the fall Windows 10 update and they only had smart sync for the team plan at the time.

I still think Dropbox has the best sync engine in this space but I feel the pricing/features is no longer competitive.

Seriously. KDE has a good UI team but the number of projects and applications is huge and all the designers are volunteers.

There's Plasma Desktop and Plasma Mobile and a ton of applications.

And the visibility that your work will get by helping out there is more than most projects.

I'm curious how renewals will be handled. According to https://github.com/icing/mod_md/wiki#no-auto-restart-when-st...

"...you have to manually restart httpd for any certificate changes to take effect."

It's easy enough to have a daily cronjob that just reloads Apache unconditionally, but that feels dirty.
Is this a correct summary of this issue?

Very much like a a copy-cat rouge open (non wep/wpa/wpa2) access point could be set up to trick wireless clients, and become a man-in-the-middle device, this attack, because of way WPA/WPA2 protocol lets nonces get reset to 0 with the same key, they can therefore can be predicted, and a WPA/WPA2 device can essentially become a MITM.

And in the same way a public WAP can be used more securely, a VPN and HTTPS (assuming it's implemented correctly on the server), and SSH or other tunneling encryption standards, can be relied upon to mitigate this attack.
This narrative that only engineers deserve to have interesting and fulfilling jobs needs to end. It's nothing but elitism, and adding the "#firstworldproblems" doesn't do anything to help your cause.

Back in 2014, coding bootcamps were advertising rates in the 90s. See https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-job-placement-rates-at-va.... From that post, this is what the director of admissions at Fullstack Academy claims are the job placement rates of some popular bootcamps:

- Fullstack Academy: 97%

- Hack Reactor: 99%

- App Academy: 98%

- Dev Bootcamp: 90%

- Flatiron School: 98%

(He edited his post to take this down literally as I write my comment. Ie. after this article exploded on Hacker News. See the logs for proof: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-job-placement-rates-at-va.... Here is his original post: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsek2oum4lioeja/Screen%20Shot%2020...)

The Quora post doesn't mention it, but I assume these numbers refer to job placement rate within three months. I attended Fullstack Academy back in 2014 and recall being told these numbers by Fullstack, and by all of those other bootcamps (I applied to them too). And I recall all of them referring to job placement rate within three months.

I believe there is plenty of evidence that all of this is true. There are plenty of press articles, such as http://www.businessinsider.com/4-traits-that-make-developers... corroborating it. And there are thousands of applicants and students who probably remember being told about job placement rates in the upper 90s.

Now take a look at the data from CIRR. Below I list the percentage of graduates who are hired as full time employees within 90 days of graduating:

- Fullstack Academy (New York City): 30.4%

- Hack Reactor (New York): 43.6%

See for yourself: https://cirr.org/data.

I can only conclude that back when we were all told that the numbers were in the upper 90s, we were either lied to, or intentionally mislead. Credit to them for pushing for transparency with CIRR, but shame on them for lying/intentionally misleading us all for a very, very long time.
We did not pursue Codeship due to lack of a "codeship.yml"-style configuration so that we could track config in source control.

Valve was skeptical about Microsoft turning Windows into a walled garden when they announced DX12 only for Windows Store exclusive games, that is when they started pushing their efforts into SteamOS, moreover a stable runtime (based on Ubuntu LTS) for Linux games, which has helped _a lot_ for linux gaming.

I will probably rarely use the keyboard/trackpad except when travelling (not often) as most days I plan to use an usb mechanical keyboard+mouse. So all I'm really bothered about is whether I get better value for money in terms of CPU and screen with the XPS compared with a thinkpad. Of course the XPS is prettier as well ;)

I've read the XPS screen is amazing whilst the thinkpad one is not so hot, do you have an opinion on this?
