Mental illness and addiction, btw, are illnesses. They're no more "crippling internal issues" than, say, diabetes.

War is peace
A complement to my piece on meritocracy:

Abstract: Increasingly, geek culture is criticized as one that is biased; in particular, geek claims of meritocracy are thought to be naive because they do not recognize the privilege (i.e., unseen advantages) of extant members. But some geeks are resistant to this critique. Why? Beyond the natural tendency to be defensive and the unproductive comparison of personal suffering, there is a geek-specific reason. Geek identity is informed by the trope of geek triumphalism: early insecurity is superseded by a sense of superiority. Geeks' intelligence, unconventional enthusiasms (e.g., technology and fantasy), and idiosyncratic dress contributed to their marginalization, leading them to believe they would never do the same to others. And these same characteristics, later in life, become sources of success and pride, leading them to think they are more open-minded, objective, and beyond bias.
I care about security and I do have a problem with it. http://www.logicalfallacies.info/presumption/no-true-scotsma...

Yes I advocate for JS to be a part of the web. There are good reasons for it. But regardless, it has nothing to with advocates. We are in this situation because browser vendors included JS and developers and users found it useful. Again, you are free to deny the idea that this is irreversible, but I am with the 99.99% of users of the web who have JS enabled.

Edit: QoL is subjective of course, but let me ask you this: when was the last time you really had JS enabled by default and how did you measure the trade off? My suspicion is that most people who put on their tin foil hat^W^W^W^W^W^Wturn off JS by default don't actually turn it back on frequently, and spend a whole lot of their lives fiddling with drop down menus to enable/disable JS on specific sites.

3. go to freelancer or upwork and get some projects no matter the pay.

4. once you've got some "professional experience" work with a recruiter to find a job.

5. look for interview questions for those technologies.

6. talk with confidence about how you love xyz tech. and explain how you'll pick up there environment with no problem.

Citizen | New York, NY | Full time | Onsite
www.citizen.com

We are building a global safety network. The need has never been greater for technology that informs and protects the public. Citizen empowers communities to keep each other safe and informed. Citizen is backed by Sequoia Capital and Founder’s Fund, and is a top 10 global News App on the App Store.

We’re looking for passionate, hardworking, mission-driven people to help take the Citizen app to the next level and launch multiple cities in 2018. Our New York City office is the center of our operation, and the hub of all engineering and product activities.

Some of the problem spaces we work in today:

Scaling: We have one of the fastest growing organic user bases in NYC, and right now we’re geo-restricted to New York City and San Francisco. Soon we will launch nation-wide and we need to support that scale. A Citizen international launch will follow.

Bursting: Without warning, a major incident occurs and multiple users begin live-streaming video into the app. We notify the entire user base, causing a massive burst of simultaneously connected clients. The core systems we build need to efficiently support traffic that can grow to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users today, and millions in the future.

We've got a number of roles available in engineering, design, and sales. See them all here: https://www.elationhealth.com/careers/

Specifically I'm closely involved with trying to fill our engineering lead positions. Our engineering team is about half based in our San Francisco office and half remote (remote for us is PST +/- 3 hours). Tech stack is AWS/Python/Django/MySQL/ReactJS. We have a great team full of folks that really value working closely with product, customer-experience, and users. Lots of interesting problems to solve!

Apply online or reach out to me directly if you have any questions or are curious! I'm always happy to chat with folks about healthcare, startups, whatever. Contact info's in profile.
Judging based on the 'load' event they are about the same, or the HN version might be a little bit (<100ms) faster. The Sapper version is faster with the service worker.

So basically the added complexity gives you the same load time when done extremely well (as Sapper is). In terms of bang for your buck, the service worker is biggest improvement. Which you can implement in your server-rendered app.

Other than the fact that every attempt apple has made at a cloud service has been terrible.
I think you're still misunderstanding. The CPU picks TTBR0 or TTBR1 based on the top significant bit of the VA, irrespective of whether the access was initiated by user or kernel code. This is in contrast to s390, which has separate page tables for user mode and kernel mode. I personally much prefer s390's model.

And yes, I've read quite a few papers, and I wrote a good fraction of the patches.

An Apple/Netflix merger makes little sense; Apple is pretty clearly not interested in online services not tied into it's hardware platforms, and it's already got a video service tied into it's ecosystem.

I suppose making Netflix's existing original content Apple-exclusive would have some value to Apple, but not enough to justify purchasing Netflix.
We adopted a similar (well, I think probably identical) approach some years ago. No regrets -- it is simple and works well.

Not many of us are against H1Bs in general, but it is easy to dislike the body shops because they don’t add much to the economy (not creating jobs).
Not critique, but some additional perspectives for those less well versed in designing databases.

It's also important to realise that almost every time a duplicate key on an assumed unique key would trigger a constraint violation error, absence of this constraint would lead to some non sensical effects elsewhere in the system if ignored.

Barcodes are a typical example also for this, as unless the entire dataflow from warehouse to cash register is equipped to handle duplicate EAN codes, all kinds of nonsense results could be the result,
potentially with significant economic risk if duplicates are allowed to enter into the system unchecked.

Everytime a constraint is removed from something that 'obviously' is/needs to be unique, the next step should be to add validation, duplicate and/or alias handling code everywhere that column is touched. Especially important at input and output.

Good database design is really hard, if at all possible, have other people try to come up with ways to break your scheme.
"Amazon's goal is to kill off traditional retail"

What makes you think that's their goal?
I hope it’s clear I couldn’t agree more on the gospel of Portlandia. As for how much of what I want to do is actually helping “their” real needs, I think I would just have to repeat myself:

Economic disparities are undeniable and charity isn’t helping. Hire different people, and accept cultural differences, beyond mere sightly identification.

Don’t ignore the impact of culture comforts which undermine relationships necessary for sustainable societies. Be honest, put business second.

In short, do the stuff churches did, if that’s even possible.

I can't speak for the commenter above, but as someone who runs a paid service built on open geodata I can tell you our best customers are those who first try to self host and then realize what a pain that is. The challenge is not just keeping the software up to date, but that you also need to keep the data fresh. How fresh of course depends on your exact use case, of course, but for perspective OpenStreetMap has 3-4 million edits per day. It's totally doable - and is technically very interesting, but in much the same way that fixing your own car or baking your own bread is doable and fun. It's more cost-effective to hand it off to a reliable expert.

There is also browser caching. So subsequent page loads may not require any new scripts or stylesheets to be loaded, for example, so you're only loading some GZIPped HTML.
It makes sense in a way.

Retail is very similar to record companies or the movie industry. They've failed to innovate solely because they got lazy. They took for granted their position in the market.

A good position too. I mean, if you make believe the internet isn't a threat, which top business people most likely did, then I can easily see brick-and-mortar-rules-all mentality lulling top execs to sleep. Meanwhile, Amazon etc took over from a completely different angle, utilizing on-demand and internet tech.

An acquisition from traditional retailers may be appealing.

ME is actually a gasp useful feature. The problem is with Intel's implementation of it: it's not open source, it can't be disabled, and it's buggy. Fix all three of those, and Intel's stock will go up.
Instagram is already onto the script, and remote login via. Tor. Out of the box, the randomization of TOR + user will get you pretty quickly flagged, because the static information security that Instagram sets up has an authentication ring and if you aren't on it, it won't log you in. Namely -> comparing the IP of your normal activity with the random activity (geographic check via. your Tor browser to normal login). Now, if you are an established user you can have the Instagram window open and if you are logged in during the 1-2 login attempts .. you can refresh and confirm your TOR browser is you. But that defeats the purpose of TOR. Secondly, the need to refresh during Ruby script to TOR login has to be pretty quick .. like 1-2 seconds of refresh in your browser .. so that your script validates. I would suggest a pause switch or a setting saying if login fails / pause it so you can authentication with the counter confirm from Instagram in your browser.

It's pretty skeevy - this bot is. But ya, it will get your shit nuked really fast, based on terms and how often Instagram roving security hounds can be.

Anyway .. might want to make it a lot less "automatic" and make it a useful tool for your contacts only vs. tag based. Maybe received a little bit more .. warmly, let's say.

The author of this piece isn't saying "this is awful" to tell people who like it that it's awful. (RP1 is awful, though.)

The questions he's raising with the book as a springboard have to do with "fandom" in general and how and why it exists as it is. And what's wrong with it. And while I think this author is pretty self-indulgent in the way he writes, too, I think the point at the heart of it is a good one--'cause there is a lot wrong with it.
No that’s be too much overhead for a beginners level class.
Amazon wouldn’t have brought Wholefoods if according to your logic. They can use Targets physical location to cover a lot of last mile delivery or more products to have those 2 hour deliveries.
I don't think this is a good idea.

Please don't get me wrong, it would be great to have a service to centralize all your passwords including rotation, but this already exists. It's Google/Facebook if you choose to use oauth to sign in into other sites.

If this kind of api/js would exist and work, an attacker could exploit it to automatically change user's password.

Note that changing password is often used also as a simple mechanism to log out all the sessions (simple = easy to understand for the end user).

In summary, I really hope all website would do all they can do to protect their change password endpoints from automatic tools.

For me, passwords need to exist and need to be remembered, because if this is not the case, then many other security assumptions fail. With this I don't want to say that the current state of affairs is good, I definitely think that we need to invest in more mechanisms to help users remember their passwords, or reuse them in secure ways.
I’m having trouble visualising what you’re hinting at. How do DSLs relate to static typing? Are you referring to writing all code in the same language (as in JSX + JSS)?
I wonder whether directors' salaries were paid whilst contractors' invoices were overdue.

Also, does the company have any assets? Even it's out of cash then, unless it's filed for bankruptcy/insolvency/administration (I think it's called 'chapter 8' in the US?), can't you still file a small claims court case?

Maybe get some Aerons in lieu of cash?
I always thought their goal was to make piles of money, and that any collateral damage to traditional retail was incidental.

Yes, I would. However:

A) In such cases I think testing against the real thing often has a greater chance of catching subtle bugs rather than the automated test scenario against the elaborate mock which is highly likely to share many of the same assumptions that caused the bug.

B) Code reviews ought to flag that a piece of code that is not under automated test is being modified and appropriate care should be taken (ideally this alert should be automated but I haven't yet reached that level).

I think it pays to approach these things on a case by case basis, and if a pattern of subtle bugs does appear that's a strong indication that you should change your behavior (I'm a stronger believer in bug retros than I am in any kind of testing dogma).

>How many customer minutes lost = 1 developer minute

Is that a relevant question to ask? If you introduce the presumption that an automated scenario test is more likely to catch a bug than a manual test then I guess it's relevant, but honestly for these types of scenario I think the opposite is true.

I didn't mention it before also but if you have manual testers on hand that changes the calculus too. I'd say it's normal for 3-4 manual tester minutes to be equivalent to about 1 developer minute.

As I mentioned above, I really don't think it pays to be a test fundamentalist.

>That said, I think tests are the most expensive and most brittle way to address this problem.

Or a type system fundamentalist.
Yeah, it's over a 1 hour period. I should say that.
