I’d heard that some had fixed the problem by updating the intel graphics driver.
I did a Dell “update everything including the BIOS” and it made my QT development IDE and my application have bad rendering problems so I did a system restore.

The “pause” is a complete lock up, mouse and keyboard stop responding.
Really seasoned engineers also often don't need services like Triplebyte to find jobs.
Why is all communication from Apple on this case, both yesterday and today, being channeled via screenshots of text appended to random twitter users posts or blogs? It's weird that there's no official page on apple.com for these statements. (Beyond the actual "security update 2017-001" announcement webpage, which wasn't published until the patch was available)
I think one could clone an old version of Facebook before they added videos or emojis and make it a hit. (Haven't used FB in a while, idk what else they got)
Not really, because again it doesn't recorded anything outside of it's context. It's more like being part of a user study group every time you use their product, whether or not you want to be, or agree to be.
“Right to Know Act” Would Empower Users of Devices to Decline NYPD Searches
Having worked in a few agencies and departments that do both iOS and Android apps, whenever possible, they want parity between the two. So if the Android app is doing it, odds are better than not that the iOS app is also doing it to the extent allowed by Apple.
oddly compelling story
Maybe it's precisely only billing for cpu and memory consumed, so if your workload has a small footprint and is mostly waiting around a lot for other services to respond it would be really cheap?
Well shouldn't a newspaper standby their reporting?
I love AWS and their pace of innovation, but some areas are really lagging behind.

Two new container services announced but São Paulo still doesn't even have ECS which was announced in 2014.
You can absolutely compare the real with a fantasy. That's how innovation happens.
I heard the bug was working on El Capitan for some people [1]. Some Mac devices aren't able to upgrade past El Capitan; will they just forever have this vulnerability?

more like flexible cognitive performance depends on the neurons in the brain being able to rapidly and efficiently re-organize into segregated task-relevant functional networks.

A good workplace analogy would be a large team that can flexibly reorganize itself in a task-relevant way.
I know you're answering the question of bin-packing, but after two years of experience with it, I can say that for me, bin-packing is one of the smallest benefits (though it sells very well with management), though perhaps a baseline requirement these days. The real benefits, in my experience, stem from the declarative nature of cluster management, and the automation of doing the sensible thing to enact changes to that declarative desired state.
Yup: CRISP, Sparc, low power x86 (Transmeta) and now high performance RISC-V. Business decisions (such as Lucent dropping out of the processor market or IBM killing its bulk CMOS fab) have kept his technical achievements from getting the commercial success they deserve. I hope things go better this time.
One-third of US workers could be jobless by 2030 due to automation
> The face has to match the face of the account, so generating a new face won’t work.

It quite easily could work well if the account has, or is tagged in, any public images and those are used as input to the generation process. (Or if it's associated with a person of whom there are public images in other sources, off of Facebook.)

I'm assuming the process is sophisticated enough that you can't just post an existing public Facebook image of the user without modification, but that may be too generous.
Maybe? Hard to buy your way out of this kind of problem though.
Honestly, probably, because the bar is so very low. Humans are terrible at driving safely. We just accept it because until now we've had no alternative. I don't think a newcomer would have to execute perfectly, or even particularly well, to do better than the status quo.
We are a nation of contradictions.

On the one hand we're puritanistic when it comes to sex and relationships (VP won't dine with opposite sex if not accompanied), while at the same time exalting sexual revolution, freedom of association, etc. But we want to control how people behave at work in a proscripted manner.

It's like we can't decide what we want.

Obviously harassment is detrimental to the affected, but also, we should not be told to shy away from forming relationships at work. People spend upwards of third of their lives at work. It makes little sense to deny that to people out of hand.

That said, clear directives about abuse and harassment are necessary so people can work in an exclusive environment where they feel welcome.
Unfortunately the site got wiped out a few years ago so the best stuff is gone, but I've recently got it back on line in a more resilient, spam-resistant fashion.

There is a page of "Featured" exchanges, some of which include:

Fresenius Kabi confirming they are still acquiring a company even after its founder and board chair were arrested on a narcotics trafficking RICO:

https://www.pubmail.io/mail/thread/OF49EC78E8.C30281B7-ON862...

AmerisourceBergen confirming they paid out sales commissions based on the sale of opioid drugs, and changing that policy after the 60 minutes exposé:

https://www.pubmail.io/mail/thread/20171105013005.29768.F72D...

Some of the stuff is more trivial but needs to be done for completeness sake, like the WashPo denying payoff rumours:

https://www.pubmail.io/mail/thread/20171111020538.56788.2671...

Some of the stories are in silence - Cardinal Health and McKesson simply don't respond to any inquiries at all.

When it comes to investigative work, I think that the "story" is often in the aggregate rather than any one specific detail.
Wow this looks like an exact copy of Azure Container Instances.
Check your math. 1vCPU at $0.0506 per hour + 1 GB RAM at $0.0127 per hour gives $.0633 per hour. At 750 hours per month, that's $47.48 per month. A T2.micro is $8.70 per month, but not even close to a whole vCPU, so it's not a direct comparison.

Edit: I think they have a mistake on the pricing page: the per-second rate looks more like a per-minute rate. Doing the calculation with the per-second and again with the per-hour stated prices gives a 60x difference in monthly cost.

Edit2: Yep, they've now fixed the per-second price; it was originally 60x the correct price.
This is going to be really great for batch jobs which need isolated environments. I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Amazon is really doing work. I'll be definitely be using this.
Yeah their senior role sounds like a SDE2 at Amazon or Microsoft (61-62?)
Most people won't have a 40 year career in a high paying industry like software engineering in silicon valley.

A huge amount of people in high paying positions don't stick it out for 40 years straight. People become burnt out, have kids, live off savings/their partner, or just pay off their mortgage and live an lower-stress life. Sometimes people die, get long term sick, retire early or retrain. Or they hit a glass ceiling and don't want to keep pushing against it and quit.
There's going to be a nice little bump in their share prices. Not sure how long that will last though.
I think you're miss-remembering. Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty was released in 2010. I played it on release on my Core 2 Quad/GeForce 8800 GTS machine that I built in 2009.

Blizzard announced they were making SC2 in 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft_II:_Wings_of_Liberty... there wasn't even a closed beta until early 2010.

Regardless, the minimum requirements you posted are single core CPU's.
I disagree that a PhD is "so much different from undergrad". In both cases a PhD and an undergraduate is paying for access to a professor. Do you disagree?
It looks like the article pretty consistently uses the phrase "the pointer is allocated ..." to mean that that's where it's pointing to.
Oh boy, what's bound to be another thread full of "delete your Facebook", the new and improved "I don't own a television" statement. Good for you, some of us actually appreciate the utility value from having a place to plan events and ensure people actually see that sort of thing. That said, this is a completely nonsense "solution" when there's plenty of other ways to perform verification that don't do double duty of implementing facial recognition tech to ensure we get to the dystopian tech hellscape sooner than later.

Wow, didn't take long for the downvote brigade to show up for having a contrary opinion to the herd on this one.
The lack of support of OpenCypher is also a bit intriguing.
Also interesting in addition to the other fine replies is that Javascript qua Javascript hasn't actually moved all that much in the past 15 years, and in 2002 JS would definitely not have been a "functional language".

I'd say it's a language whose issues are sometimes something that FP is best at papering over, but as an FP language, it is quite lacking if you're used to something like Haskell, Erlang, or Lisp. I actually put it in the category of OO-FP languages, languages that have a lot of the FP constructs (especially from when Lisp was the epitome of FP) but are primarily object-oriented languages. It's a pretty decent paradigm, but it really ought to be distinguished from FP languages where there are no OO features in them at all, or much more rarely, where they are clearly second-class.
From the comments on that, it seems like you need to do the exploit in the UI first. According the the analysis of the bug, "Upon receiving a mach XPC message, opendirectoryd invokes..." but what happens on the client end of the XPC message isn't mentioned. I'm just wondering if a low privileged user can initiate that programmatically, and whether they could do it from code that doesn't need to be signed, like a shell script.
AWS DeepLens – Deep learning enabled video camera for developers
They could but the buyer would not have assurance that they are the only one with the private key and therefore likely wouldn't do it.
Looks like a direct competition to Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB. Anyone care to point out the top 3 differences?
Thanks for the advice! There are a lot of things I kind of like, so I’m pursuing them more, hoping that one will stand out. We’ll see how it goes!
5 - 2 is smaller than 5 - 0...
The office is a place for work, not for romantic overtures or ribald humor. I’ve made more than my share of jokes, among friends, that I’d never wanted printed and attributed to me. But I’m perfectly happy working somewhere where nobody ever says something offensive or sexual; it’s not hell, it’s professional. And it’s good for women and minorities, who just want to do well at their jobs without dealing with romantic overtures or guys who think they are funny.
Re:invent is going on. That's why. They hold big announcements (like new services) until this week each year.
Pixelmator Pro requires macOS High Sierra

This is unfortunate. Given all the issues High Sierra has had I'm staying on Sierra for a while longer.
I've been using NoScript since forever and one gets used to it.

Also, I've always wondered what the use is of tracking which words the mouse is hovering over. I mean who does that: hovering the mouse over words?
I understand that it’s hard to compare non-salary compensation. But these figures give the impression that compensation for a Bay Area software engineer is shockingly lower than the reality.

RSUs and bonuses at established companies will easily double your take home pay.

Even the salary figures themselves look low and are probably heavily skewed by an overrepresentation of underpaying startups. My base salary ~4 years ago was in the 90th percentile according to this. It’s unlikely I was among the 10% highest paid Bay Area engineers at that time.

Don’t settle for a mediocre salary in an area with absurdly high cost of living. Don’t be satisfied with these averages. Funded startups will pay more if they need to.

> Endowments are not slush funds.

I didn't say they are.

> They're supposed to last forever and you can't just withdraw money whenever you feel like it.

They are controlled by a board and no you can't just tie them to a corporate credit card and swipe it left and right. And some endowments are restricted based on the donors' requirements (a common one is "use this for one particular sport").

However using endowments to pay for tuition is also not unheard of. That's what fellowships or tuition endowments are.

The bottom line a university with those kind of resources can find a way to pay students a bit more. They are not innocent victims attacked by the evil government which is how the issue has been presented in the media. This article explains things in more detail and is more balanced, that's why it kind of stood out.
CHINESE ROOM ARGUMENT
Also been reported elsewhere recently:

http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/airbnb-h...
Google's approach to auth is cumbersome and leaves a lot to be desired. Also, there's nothing like cloudformation for configuring supporting services (their equivalent is a pathetic joke).

The only thing I'd use GCP for today is bigquery. For everything else I'd rather use AWS.
It is all a matter of who teaches it and how.
I use folders. I think most people do.
They've been doing real world urban tests for about 18 months now. What do mean?
I'd be totally satisfied with just an advanced cruise control for highways that gets you within a kilometer of your exit before handing back control.
It's just the last few days. The big AWS re:Invent conference is happening this week, with all of the new service announcements.
> I'm buying my youngest step-child a Micro:bit for Christmas. Well, I say it's for him...

I think that I'll be doing something similar ;-)
Well at least they don't have the gall to call it Autopilot which has connotations sufficient enough to lull a lot of people into believing a product already delivers more than it can and likely ever will.

the issue we face now is, who is leading and or taking charge of this space, how are they actually doing it, and which solution is the best.

with more players we might get lucky to see Level5 within a decade or two. AV is perceived by many in the same category as any safety equipment, be that as simple as a seat belt, or an airbag, or complex like ABS and traction control. As such it has to meet a much higher standard.

GM has recently shown they can move in any direction they want and very quickly. The managed to launch a relatively affordable 200 mile range EV in short order with no availability issues other than an on purpose staggered release.

why would any of the existing automakers cede any innovative technologies and why would we not celebrate all of them trying
Wow this is a great opportunity to Devslopes content. Their style of teaching is amazing.
Affinity Photo is a direct competitor (same price range, similar feature set) and runs on both Windows and Mac: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/

Their UI's more Photoshop-style than Pixelmator Pro's, though.
I think they mislabeled the pricing. If you look at the per-hour pricing ($0.0506/CPU-hour and $0.0127/GB-hour), that translates to $0.00084333 and $0.00021167 per minute, which is a pretty reasonable price. This also makes sense in light of their recent announcement of per-minute EC2 billing.
Cruise vehicles practically swarm the area where my office in South SF is. I have to say that they're very annoying to drive around, because as the article states, they do not react to surroundings in the same way a human driver probably would. I've nearly rear-ended a couple myself. While I wouldn't say their vehicles make driving more dangerous for human vehicle operators around them, I do believe that they likely increase the risk of minor collisions.
That's because the results are personalized.. ;p
For international sales we accept euro/yuan/pounds/etc but instantly convert it to dollars. I would say that we are pricing in those currencies.
No need to be uncertain, the article outlines this pretty clearly:

"Behind the scenes, DynamoDB implements multi-master writes and ensures that the last write to a particular item prevails. When you use Global Tables, each item will include a timestamp attribute representing the time of the most recent write. Updates are propagated to other Regions asynchronously via DynamoDB Streams and are typically complete within one second"

In terms of access you're still touching a regional table, and while you can make use of things like conditional expressions they are limited to the regional table's view of the data.
Sure. CloudFormation exists for that, though, and both its difficulty and its complexity are way overstated while also letting you manage AWS resources on top of that.

And it doesn't cost anything to use.
Both features, global tables and automatic backups, seem like automation of features you could build yourself.

Global tables use DynamoDB Streams put items from Table A to Table B using conditional put (A Timestamp > B Timestamp).

Automated backup may be DynamoDB Streams or an automated setup of Datapipelines export to s3.

I'm assuming Amazon will also write their own custom implementation that controls elbs.
The Acorn Risc Machine is pretty CISCy nowadays.
Yep. I don't know why anyone would even get out of bed for these numbers. Between base, bonus, and stock a senior engineer at a large, profitable company (Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc) in the Bay Area will be grossing over $400k. The startups are offering similar base salaries, no bonuses, and 1/1000th or less share of a company that in all likelihood is worthless or, at best, illiquid. That's really backwards. If a startup wanted me to trade my shares that are as good as cash for shares that are essentially lottery tickets, they need to bring a _higher_ base salary, not a lower one.

I guess startups only recruit the irrational?
I'm looking forward to getting stuck in with this.

I happily paid for Pixelmator.
I don't think most of these pitfalls are very problematic for a beginner trying to play with the machine and to understand how things work.

> doing concurrency correctly in C (or Java for that matter) is a grand effort

And that makes it a great teaching tool for exploring how concurrency works, and what issues arise because of concurrency, in a way that other languages don't expose. It's definitely not easy, but understanding how to use (manual) locking/reference counting/memory barriers can be pretty fun (and I'm not saying it's relevant to every developer).

> contrary to the author's claims about conciseness

C is a conscise language in the sense that the language itself (its specification) is quite small. The code you write with it can be quite verbose.
Student goes to debt for X in order to take the classes. Someone else pays for that debt X on behalf of the student. That means the student received income X, which he or she happened to spend to extinguish his or her debt obligation. Student should pay taxes on it as income.

This is especially true since the same student is likely to be running around campus and calling his or her representatives asking them to tax the rich so his or her pet causes are funded.

The more people have skin in taxes the less stupid programs would we have.
Yeah, I suspect the BBC had a very specific remit and they would've been in trouble if they'd got into too much competition with existing manufacturers/companies.

They are very much a publicly funded corporation, so everything they do has to fit with that.
They may have even had a test case that entered "root" and no password and hit OK once, but that wouldn't have caught it. What if you'd had to hit "OK" forty-one times to trigger the bug? It's deeply unsatisfying to just say "the problem space is so vast that it's hard to even know what to try beyond the basics that every QA person knows" but I don't personally have a better answer than that. Maybe those that study the space do, though?
I'm in that age bracket and go to concerts with people in the age bracket. Never seen this behavior in my life. Not even at a shoegaze show!
The data in payscale.com seems to vary a lot with these numbers. I assume they have much more data than Triplebyte. For example, the 50th percentile of a SE with 3 years exp will have a salary of 100K in a city like NYC. The cost of living in NYC is as high as in SV. May be there are more engineers who are paid a lot less? I hope the corporate tax break gives a good hike but that's just a dream.
Agreed. I believe the jump from "fantastic driver's aid" to "fully autonomous" in the consumer auto market will take a decade or more.

And even when there are true AVs available, adoption won't come without some pains and legal changes. If my AV runs over a pedestrian, who is at fault?

I hope we see AVs available for limited uses in the 5 year time-frame. Possibly limited to restricted areas and designated roadways. Or, maybe faster adoption in the commercial space, as there are potentially huge cost savings for shipping/transport companies.
They mentioned that they weren't confident enough in the system to sell it, which is a shame because it sounds like an awesome service/opportunity.
People may have careers lasting 40 years but that hasn't been the case in Silicon Valley for a variety of reasons, good and bad. Indeed outside of a few professions, I doubt this is the case anywhere. A gold watch and an office retirement party is the stuff of a bad Mad Men episode.
A friend of mine put together a deal to purchase a rental property, and I invested with him, and my investment is earning dividends now.

It's wrong to say that b isn't heap allocated because it's not stored on the heap. &Ts can refer to something anywhere, heap or stack, and can also be anywhere, heap or stack. A Box<&i32> is going to have a &T on the heap.
It’s not a contradiction. Our Puritanism is reflected in the extreme value we assign to work. Our feminist movement is no less Puritan—that’s why Hilary Clinton is so exalted for her professional accomplishments. Feminism thus means removing the barriers that women have to maximizing their success at work.

Discouraging relationships at work serves that important end. Moreover, it seems that most of the voices demanding the right to inflict romantic overtures on coworkers are comin from men. I’ve never heard a professional woman say “you know, what I really want is for more guys to ask me out at work!”
To get the real picture, though, you really also need to include total compensation (e.g. avg bonuses, shares, 401k benefits). The actual numbers are quite a bit higher, I bet. Particularly for more established companies.
Kinda. Because the way your identity is verified in such situations (and oftentimes used along with asking for SSN#, to prove identity) tends to be via other associations. "Where have you lived previously" and the like.

Which presents us with the real issue. To verify data means you must also store that data. So every service designed to allow verification of that data becomes a new vulnerability.

Or as succinctly as a prof once said, "Trust is hard".
I found the talks by Brendan Burns to be very good for a high-level overview.
Reducing Indoor Carbon Dioxide
Yes, your analysis is correct. This is why the transparency is important.

Check out www.h1bdata.info for what h1b holders are getting paid. The US Department of Labor forces this disclosure and is pretty up to date.

Your tiny startup's cheap workers are probably in there too and you can deduce exactly who they are even though the names aren't in the disclosures.
