I don't regularly use Windows as a development environment so I'm no expert on that matter but whenever I occasionally have to use Windows the solution for the most part is: Create some sort of UNIX-like environment for example by running Linux in a virtual machine or by installing Cygwin.

Git Bash is a lightweight alternative if you don't want to completely switch your OS. Though mainly intended to provide you with a proper UI for running Git commands in order do so it has to create a UNIX-like shell environment, which provides many additional benefits for running other development tools with a CLI as well.

> North Korea also has a habit of admitting to and bragging about military attacks

They still claim no involvement in the death of Kim Jong Nam and the destruction of Korean Air Flight 858. You're confusing overt military actions with covert actions against civilian targets. Of course they will loudly boast about the former. Boasting about computer attacks that can help attribute other covert attacks is too stupid even for DPRK.

> I've never found "Malware X was used in attack Y" or "it came from these IP addresses owned by Z" to ever be a convincing argument for attribution.

That's just the publicly released evidence, which is enough to draw a conclusion. You think somebody who is doing it for the lulz wouldn't then brag about doing it for the lulz on IRC? That happens every other time, which is one reason why your explanation is less plausible.
> When they were standing 20 metres from each other and tried to say things like "take off your hat" or "pick up the shovel" they had to give visual cues after trying the whistle a few times and failing to get the message across.

That's interesting -- the one situation I saw had the whistler specifically mention that they were Japanese. In hindsight, the listeners clearly could have figured that out from the camera crew and language...

Cody extracts mercury by roasting cinnabar which is a mineral rich in HgS - or maybe HgS is called cinnabar - I forget.

I'm assuming this mercury is also bounded, and not lying around in pools of Hg. Hg is less toxic than Pb, and yet the government is OK with people shooting thousands of kilograms of the stuff over swamps and waterways and food crop fields.

What is almost always ignored is that these animals would have feelings, and many would suffer enormously as a result of being created into Darwinian ecosystems in which predation, disease, and premature death are endemic. Theologians ask why a good God would create so much cruelty in nature. Future humans should likewise ponder whether it's morally acceptable to create new ecosystems containing vast amounts of suffering, or whether they should pause and seek more compassionate alternatives if they embark upon space colonization.

Well, first of all, there are default limits on everything that prevents you from racking up too huge bills (25 running EC2 instances, for instance). You have to go out of your way to get them raised.

Second, they pretty much only charge per resource usage: CPU time, network traffic, and storage. Consume neither of those, and it is free. So it is free to set up really complicated virtual networks in the VPC part of the console, but you start paying once traffic flows in that network.

The only insanely expensive part that you'd hate to enable is the "Dedicated IP Custom SSL" option in CloudFront, because that is $600 per month, as per their documentation[0].

> Because of the added cost associated with dedicating IP addresses per SSL certificate, we charge a fixed monthly fee of $600 for each custom SSL certificate you associate with your CloudFront distributions, pro-rated by the hour.

Also, of thinking that Metal fans are uniformly interested in how "extreme" their music is.

Personally, I care that the songs I like are memorable. Not that they are extreme.

As to how interesting they are to outsiders- so? Who cares? I listen to my stuff, you listen to yours. I won't even compare my music to others'. That's the kind of thing that gets you thinking about why you're not more fashionable and then you end up like modern-day Metallica.

OT: This type of article ('how we hit the goldmine with xy') is always tempting to read but eventually a disappointment.

If someone had the plan to the goldmine why should he disclose it?
My understanding was that Goldman initially won a lien on the profits from the book, since Simpson owed Goldman money from the civil suit, and later the Goldman's where handed the book rights by the bankruptcy courts, when OJ failed to pay his debts.

So in theory OJ could have profited if he didn't also, independently, owe the Goldman's a lot of money.

This bussiness has built-in churn: if you do it well, you'll loose users. Word might spread, but you'll eventually loose users.

So, if you're brave enough to do this, do it differently:

- Build something that makes you a better $LANGUAGE developer.

- Build something that helps you transition from $JOBTITLE to $NEXTJOB.

And put a very restricted job board on it for people that's interested in getting better at his/her job.

That brings more value and probably you can monetize it better.

It's "user friendly" in the companies/business sense.

These are business laptops, which means they're expected to be repairable over the amortisement lifecycle (3~5 years) and it's expected that most servicing can be performed by tech support and should not require a service call. Company purchasing a fleet of hundreds of laptops can just purchase a bunch of replacement parts alongside and keep it humming for years through user misuse and tear & wear.
>> _Look What You Made Me Do_ is much more musically and artistically offensive than anything Metallica ever did, and I'm including _Reload_ in that.

This deserves a separate comment.

I looked up Look What You Made Me Do on Wikipedia. It's a song by Taylor Swift. Its claim to offensiveness, as far as I can tell, is that there's a scene in the video of her in a bathtub with real diamonds. Presumably that's offensive in the sense that there are so many poor people in the world who can't afford a bathtub, let alone diamonds. In any case, the song was "offensive" enough to have a wikipedia page a mile long and to have topped the charts and reaped all sorts of awards.

You compare that to "Reload", an album that I also had to look up on account of it being from the period of Metallica's history that I find bland and boring. I had a thing with Meallica right up until "...And justice for all". After that, they might as well have beeen Taylor Swift for all I cared. I know a lot of people in the US consider Metallica metal because they once were metal incarnate. However, these days they're just wet noodles.

As to how "offensive" Taylor Swift or Metallica are- like I say in another comment, who cares? Maybe I enjoyed being offensive and doing offensive stuff when I was 14. I have grown up somewhat since then. I still listen to my Metal. There must be something else there, don't you think?

Or I'm just a very boring person, of course. It must be all the computers.

optile in Munich, Germany (noremote (well, a little bit of remote work is already possible), fulltime) - Java, React.JS, Internal IT Sysadmin

https://www.optile.net/en/company/job-offers/

optile is creating an open payment gateway that solves the pain involved in taking international payments and taking a lot of different payment methods in many different countries. We do this through a REST/JSON API, a well thought-out architecture and intricate knowledge of the payment systems that govern all of our life. We are growing fast and are executing a huge opportunity for the company with a number of big name customers now in the pipeline.

We have a very diverse team (over 20 nationalities) consisting of 50+ people.

I (the person posting this) have just recently taken on the
responsibility of CTO and was positively surprised by the culture I already found in the existing team. I am now continuing to foster it. optile is firmly based on mutual respect, hiring smart people and getting out of their way (aka taking responsibility), honest feedback and transparency. Work here is challenging, but also fun and I personally focus on creating a team of happy humans who build great software. We pay competitive wages and have a good track record of providing incentives through equity for all employees. There are free soft drinks, beer, coffee and fruit.

We do have remote positions available in building payment method adapters, as the adapter team is the one that has most experience and the cultural tenets to work remotely, but the core team and the company is still local to Munich. One thing can lead to another, though.

That said, we are looking for:
- Java developers of all kinds (junior, senior, you name it). The adapter developer position mentioned above needs more of a "senior" profile.
- ReactJS/Redux/ReactNative developers (junior, senior, you name it)
- Internal IT Administrator (preferably a generalist with an interest in everything and experience in structuring heterogeneous systems and herding cats)
- Quality Assurance Lead (big focus on automation, but also taking a holistic view of the end-to-end product experience)

We are also looking for candidates in "not typically HackerNews" positions. We have openings for working students and in marketing and sales.

Experience with MongoDB, Spring, PostgreSQL, Lodash, D3.js, Vertx, perhaps a little bit of OSGi (yeah, we know, we're moving away from it), a good understanding of cryptography, previous payment experience, risk models and machine learning are all a plus.

If anything of the above sounds good to you, please click the above link and send us your CV :).
You are correct. Got too used to the "just add everything to regular dependencies" shortcut in private projects, which doesn't cut it for published modules.
Just to give some context behind it.

The whistling is indeed word for word. In my village some of the over 40's still exchange whistles from time to time depending on their situation.

I am not the best at whistling, as I didn't have the nerve to learn it all, nor I communicated like that to my friends and family. Although I am able to understand some of it and get a few words depending on how clear the other person is when he is whistling. Some of the older folks whistle their words very fast, and the ones that can understand them are people that have been trained to listen to those whistles for most of their lives.

On the articles whistling on soundcloud I was able to understand 5/6 tracks. The alphabet both in the slow motion and in the fast version is pretty clear.

Disclaimer: I grew up partly in a village in Greece, where they do keep that form of communication. I recently returned to Greece and am permanently residing in that village. I am not fluent in the whistling language, but I know for a fact that there is an alphabet and proper words coming out of whistling.

you can thank the nra and that idiot ryan zinke for that. i just talked to a scientist today who is publishing a study on how hunting with lead shot, then eating what you hunt, can... wait for it... result in huge amounts of lead in your body, if you do it habitually over time. yet the nra is actively saying there is no science to back up the claim that hunting with lead bullets is a health hazard, and zinke rescinded obamas EO that you cant hunt with lead on federal lands (which was put in place as an attempt to stop poisoning animals who would eat the shot animals). so, alot of people are going to die, and a lot of children are going to be developmentally disabled because of this. its really unconscionable.

Not only surveillance, but the accountability has gone up too. Not only is it easy to be exposed performing morally debatable but illegal stuff but they are also permanently recorded by unknowable number of entities(news sites/blogs), shared across innumerable platforms and get judged by mobs you never knew existed, leading to a possibly life altering effect.

I can only speak for myself, of course, and my primary motivation for ditching places like Slashdot (among others) in favor of HN was to get away from the blatant, fervent, and persistent editorializing of their staff (which is a new phenomenon, from their relatively recent hires like BeauHD and msmash), and the ideological push I see from journalists everywhere.

This can easily be explained by stoicism - both in the wish to remain clear and unbiased, and objectively reasoned.

I don't mind bias from a source, if the source wears it on their sleeve. The best newspaper in my country is a radical one on the far end of a spectrum, and it's essentially one of 3 that still do any kind of investigative journalism. They advertise their bias in their header.

I like Docker because it makes it more explicit what dependencies my software has. Most Dockerfiles start with an apt-get update, but I prefer specifying the exact versions of the packages to install. This way I notice changes before they break my stuff.
I bet someone at IBM found a bug, traced it back to some quirk in Windows that was hard/impossible to work around and the ticket got the attention of an engineer who figured out how to fix it in less than an hour. They decided the change was benign so they did it, commented it for posterity, and moved on.

Microsoft actually has a reasonably close relationship with large companies that develop on their platform. eg, their plug fests for devs to come put their stuff onto the same machine and see how they all inter operate on new versions of Windows. I used to work semi-closely with someone doing Windows driver work. He knew a lot of quirks in the platform and even could escalate to the point of getting help from kernel engineers.
