Looking for systems programming or other interesting software development opportunities. Previously wrote software for x86 and ARM embedded Linux radio testing equipment. Spent several months doing a deep dive into game development with Unreal Engine 4[0]. I'm a quick learner and am willing to pick up whatever tech is necessary for the position. My latest project was interpreting output from a Deskcycle to get cadence data[1]. Even if I'm not what you're looking for and you just want to chat about any of my projects, send me an email!

The linked article about USC's new "University Village" is pretty brutal too, calling it "Disneyland meets Hogwarts."[1] Disneyland is a good call metaphorically whenever something's elaborately fake, though I'm also comparing all these projects to the Las Vegas strip. Lavish expenditure to recreate something already done elsewhere, producing the strange feeling that it's fake (a copy), yet it's real (somebody spent the money to make it happen).

Is there no middle ground between uncompromisingly hostile modernism and ass-backwards retro-fakery?

Descent actually has an app that you can run (tablet or PC) that will play the part of the enemy. Not required, like Mansions of Madness 2e, but a nice way to play cooperatively.

Imperial Assault is supposedly getting an app like this soon as well.

Scribd | Senior Recommendations/Search Engineer | San Francisco | VISA | ONSITE

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to re-imagine the way the world reads.

Our team is looking for smart engineers to work on our recommendation and search systems. You should have a strong machine learning background with experience in search or recommendations with a production system or a MS/PHD in a related field. Scala/Spark and SQL experience is a plus.

We are also looking for engineers with any level of experience to work on our payments systems. Rails experience a plus, but not a requirement.

We are a small team which means you can have a ton of impact and bring in your own ideas. We work on an ambitious project to organize all the books in the world and use it to take book discovery to the next level. Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture, is profitable, and well funded. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. Stack: Ruby on Rails (we are one of the largest Rails sites), Go, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, Spark (Scala). But we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you've used so far.
If you have questions you can reach me at toby at scribd.com. I am happy to answer any question related to this role. Please apply directly via https://boards.greenhouse.io/scribd/jobs/76773.

I agree. The first part about the backup seems like a side show because once an attacker has logged into the device they already have access to everything that would be in a device backup (usually).
One doesn't know if they're really going to like the game until they play it at least once, though.

I'm with on_and_off - modern tabletop games have too much upfront rule-memorization required before one can even start playing. They're actually worse than videogames in that respect, because with a videogame, at least the UI typically implicitly provides some indication of the ways that the player can interact with the game world. i.e. if I click on a unit or building in _StarCraft_, I get a panel of options for what it's capable of doing.

I'm happy that so many people seem to like them, but the amount of effort that needs to be expended before the actual fun starts (and potentially throughout the game) is generally too much for me. I'd probably like them a lot if they were played on some sort of shared table display, where each player would get an interactive list of allowed actions at each turn, instead of having to constantly refer back to the manual.

Anyone whose intrerested, this website has the old version of my map. After I posted it to reddit people had some suggestions. Switch the colours, update it for the new German and French rankings, show Asia also.

The article gives an explanation for this.
Sure. Hope you find these sources acceptable. Re retweeting Russian propaganda accounts:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-campaign-staffers-pushed...

I'm not saying they knew what they were doing at the time, but the fact of the matter is: Trump Jr., Flynn, Kellyanne Conway all retweeted TEN_GOP, a Russian propaganda account, in the run up to the election varying number of times.

Re Trump himself echoing Russian Propaganda:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgkqW4cJOFQ

I imagine you will find issues with these sources, since they probably are disagreeable to you. To me, and I imagine to most unbiased readers, they are fairly clear evidence of the fact that Trump and his team did (perhaps unknowingly) spread stories that originated from Russian propaganda and disinformation efforts.
No one ever says "I wished I worked more" from their deathbed.

No-one wishes they'd spent more time at some pointless job sure, but I'll wager there are many who wish they'd pursued some opportunity with greater effort.
I keep an “engineering logbook”. I surely helps me put things into perspective, I can’t say that it made me more “productive”, but it sure raises awareness on issues and this is enough.

I prefer pen and paper by far, so I ordered a personalised notebook, it is pretty good looking, most wouldn't touch it, but I'm planning on doing a collection of them.

By personalised I mean that it has my name on it and reads "Engineering Logbook #1". I ordered this book from Stamford Notebooks[1]. No affiliation, but they're I'm planning to ask some customisations when I order "#2".

The paper was pretty clear that the popular opinion (among those with knowledge of the topic) is mixed, with advocates for both single blind and double blind, and that that vast majority of evaluations is done single blind - that is to say, aligned with the kcorbitt's position.

What do you mean by "devil's advocate"? Because I can't make sense of how to apply either my understanding of the term, nor the description at Wikipedia, to kcorbitt's comment.
I think this is one of the things that Toyota has done really right. Their hybrid drivetrain has made its way into a few models now (Corolla, Camry, Prius) and it's never a big thing, just a feature of the vehicle. I'm a longtime proponent of EVs and I've always hated the way that car companies feel compelled to turn any electric offering into a science project freak show.

To my mind this is the number 1 thing that Tesla has done right with their vehicles. They don't sell "Electric Vehicles", they sell vehicles. Which kick ass. And happen to be electric.
A) If you are opening 10000 new db connections per second you are doing something very wrong. Use connection pooling! Psycopg2 actually has one built in. (http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/pool.html)

B) If DNS actually becomes a legitimate bottleneck, you can just manually resolve the domain name and cache it. If the db sits behind a load balancer or does DNS round robing you can keep the cache time low and re-resolve on connection failures.
Java bytecode and the other technologies you mentioned solve the problem of distributing a program so that it can run unmodified on various platforms.

Reproduceable builds are not about software distribution, they are about compilation. The Arch Linux maintainers would like to be able to verify that the Java bytecode that they are sending to their users was indeed built from the Java source files that they were expected to be built from. With reproduceable builds anyone can double check that the Java bytecode that is being distributed is the correct one by recompiling it on their own machine. Without reproduceable builds you need to trust that the person who compiled the file didn't do anything malicious (either intentionally or unintentionally)

I think gnu8 was asking: Does removing the code interfere with HAP mode (e.g., by removing code necessary for HAP to be activated, maintained, operated, etc.)? Is both really safer than one or the other?

For example, there may be two drugs that can treat my illness; taking both might not be better than taking one or the other.
No, they're especially awful for scripts. The only place where extensions are maybe appropriate is ad-hoc at your shell. Your scripts are non-portable. Suck it up and learn the POSIX flags, they're not difficult. If you can't, then you aren't really in Alpine's target audience anyway.
With the cost of litigation so high, it would seem this is a really "hair on fire", "big problem" to solve. why aren't more start ups in the legal space? I know one company that's doing something like it, but haven't seen many that are actually in the IP space handling this issue.
I fear that we are moving towards a future that is shaped by monopolies (or the "digitalisation" supports monoposlistic strategies). If you read the slides, you notice that GM understands that by controlling everything (manufacturing the car, supply chain, the app) it makes more profits. I think that there is a trend in many industries towards monopolies, if you for example look at amazon or google. I don't think it's healthy and I am convinced that there is not enough awareness to tame these giants.

>People do sign up for newsletters, but not before they even get a chance to read anything. It's a fine balance between value and trust.

There was an article that did it really well. I forget who it was but it was a good article about Mongo, about 1/2 - 2/3rds of the way through, it put a CTA and an email input box inline. It was obvious what it was, but didn't shove it in your face.
It's a bit complex to pick up, but it's very true to the original game. If you have experience with the original the mechanics will make sense right away. It's also a lot of fun! Great theme.

> - They raised from the public

Not quite right. They raised from their own investors and the public, which may be part of the problem.

If their own investors bought into their own ICO to "seed" it, which tricked the public into thinking there was genuine demand, that might constitute fraud.

This is one of the best ideas (and execution) I've seen in a while! Great example of solving a problem w/ technology and turning it into a business.
Because selling has better cash-flow properties than renting, and by selling GM can push some financing requirements into smaller and more dispersed entities.

Besides, a bigger market does not mean it's more lucrative. Competition on ride-sharing will probably be much more intense than on car manufacturing, and GM may be completely unable to succeed on that new market.
