> I decided to dive into the code for the Bourne shell to see what I might be able to figure out about these builtins. I came across the definition of the cd builtin here. (link to: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/builtins/cd.d...)

no, you came across the definition of bash's 'cd' builtin there..

On FreeBSD with a source checkout, the definition of /bin/sh's (the 'ash' shell, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almquist_shell) cd builtin is in:

/usr/src/bin/sh/cd.{c,h}

or, on the web:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/bin/sh/cd.c?revision=32...

similarly, most anything in base is available in:

/usr/src/{path with '.' instead of slash}/{command name}

which is by the way, very handy, and in combination with having all your self built packages in /usr/ports/distfiles/<package>.tar.<whatever> a big plus of running a BSD system from source..
Seems the flaw was exploitable and could potentially give access to the rest of their internal network:

Their answers have been consistent since before Uber added tipping. Besides, I'm having a natural conversation with a normal human, at no point did I feel they were lying to me. It also makes sense that someone driving for uber voluntarily would actually appreciate the value proposition of the service (for a driver): make money when you want. Which is exactly what they say they like.
Not a mention of plant-based medicines and psychedelic, spirit-centric treatments of depression? There's enough data at this point that this seems willfully obtuse. We need new ways, yes, and they're out there. These new ways need champions.

Ayahuasca changed my life and banished two decades of born-into depression. I have seen dozens of people transform thanks to this medicine. I've seen similar, incredible transformations from Psilocybin. Daily meditation keeps me in balance and singing tunes of contentedness. They're out there!
Oh man, that "you can't even see the messages that were in RAM when your computer went to sleep because we're doing... something... with your slow network" behavior is infuriating. I work a lot on airplanes and mobile hotspots, and it comes up depressingly often.
This looks like a well put-together course, and a good way to learn TensorFlow. Keras and TensorFlow are top of my list of technologies to explore in the very near future.

Is anyone here doing Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course [1]? I'm about half-way through and really enjoying it. I'm particularly appreciating that the programming exercises are done in MatLab/Octave, so I feel that I'm really understanding the fundamentals without an API getting in the way, and developing some good intuition. Obviously frameworks are the way to go for production ML work, but I wonder whether ML people here think this bottom-up approach is advisable or could it be misleading when I move on to Keras/TensorFlow/whatever?

Based on your angel list page - https://angel.co/lumen5 , you dont offer any equity for the roles listed above? Is that accurate?
Every bit of Uber's history says that they are willing to bend rules and ignore ethics in favor of expanding their business. They aren't interested in protecting the public, their employee-contractors, or their employees. All of this is well-documented in stories discussed here on HN.

Why would anyone trust them in any aspect of healthcare?
The True Cost of Cloud – A Comparison of Two Development Teams
SpoonRocket (as noted) and Sprig were doing this and neither survived. Great concept, but extremely difficult to pull off.
This looks cool, but you don't publish your pricing, so I assume you operate like Oracle and reflexively close the window.

Sun had what IIRC was the first cloud computing service in ~2000, but it required dealing with salespeople so no one used it. A few years later AWS came along.

Stack is Python, Django, Javascript, React, React Native. We value good engineering practices: we write maintainable code, review each others' work, use tests and static analysis tools to help catch mistakes, and have a CI pipeline to release often.

If you care about making peoples' lives better through good food or if you're interested in the challenges of delivering nutrition at scale, you'll love it at Thistle. Any questions, drop me a line: rodney 𝒶𝓉 thistle 𝒹ℴ𝓉 co

Thanks for the Link to the book, I put it on my list!

I have read "Relaxation Response" a few years back (https://www.amazon.com/Relaxation-Response-Herbert-Benson/dp...) and shortly after have practiced this method every day for 6 weeks with my partner. We did this by listening to the meditation "Bring Mindfulness to Your Day"[0] early in the morning and i recall this being a beautiful period of serenity for both of us. Highly recommend the meditation - her voice alone is incredibly calming, plus: it gave a good overview of different meditation techniques.

[0] This is the first track on Olivia Hoblitzelles meditation CD "Relaxing Mind and Body with the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine" which can be found here https://www.amazon.com/Relaxing-Mind-Benson-Henry-Institute-... and on itunes
1. No of course not, but if it's a factor at all we'd expect to see the pattern I described.

2. We're talking about social mobility, not the level of inequality.
Letting a program arbitrarily modify another program's working directory or its environment variables would be a nightmare for any program that accesses files from relative paths, I think it's pretty obvious why you wouldn't be allowed to do something like that.
..and then start backing all that in to existing long standing customer business processes which aren't going to budge.

And then you end up with the OP.
I remember there was a multi-IM client called centericq which was console-based and pretty awesome. I used it for several years back when ICQ was still a thing.

Yes I know about irssi and friends, but they're not really having an UI, many things are commands or config based, but centericq was.

When I last "dealt with" PeopleSoft, the standard operating procedure was:

1) Pay PeopleSoft/Oracle a metric f--kton of money.

2) A CD arrives in the mail. (This little envelope cost $800,000?)

3) Your PeopleSoft consultants show up, laugh at that CD (tossing it into the microwave) and pull out their own distros with a zillion customizations that they proceed to spray over your servers. You have no idea what they are actually installing.

4) You get out a firehose, fill it with money, and keep showering the consultants with cash until you are sure they won't succeed in delivering anything worthwhile, and you fire them.

I was only installing a local test instance of PeopleSoft (to do some integration work with another product). Somehow the PS consultants in the area got wind that someone in my company was doing an install, and I started getting all kinds of cold calls offering customization and optimization, with some of the most condescending and customer-hostile attitudes I've encountered. PS had pretty a pretty shitty ecosystem 15+ years ago, and it doesn't sound improved. I'd hate for anyone nontechnical to be at their mercy.
I guess if you are big enough you only get a small fine. e.g. HSBC
At the same time, "Nobody got fired for choosing IBM" is a statement for a reason. If you hire someone else, people will say, "Why didn't you hire the best?"

If you hire IBM, you're avoiding that reasoning, even if on any given project IBM or other large enterprise vendors may not be the best.
A few thoughts:

Ask yourself how relevant the revenue figure is to the position. If it is not relevant, just use downloads as a metric for.

Be careful to frame this as past revenue, not ongoing income. Talking about it like it is ongoing income veers into conflict of interest territory where they may feel they can offer you less salary because you won't starve or where they may hesitate to hire you because you have side income and might walk at will. These are not insubstantial concerns.

If you do choose to mention it, be very, very low key about it. Keep it brief, to the point and not something that turns into a rubber necking train wreck of a detail on your resume.

Why do you think so many 1%ers are advocating for Universal Basic Income? It's not due to some altruistic notion that everyone should be able to follow their dream. It's out of fear of a populist revolt. Their backup plan is New Zealand based prepper compounds.
For one thing, it suggests that they are actually technicians, not the scientists they're selling themselves as.

That's fine if you want a technician (and if they're charging technician's rates).
Neat idea! Is there a mac version in the works?
dividends and interest are in fact taxed as ordinary income in the united states
> What in the world are they doing?

Literally no one knows! It's layers upon layers of code. Most of the layers can't even be understood by a single person, let alone the whole program.
Oh c'mon. Slack absolutely destroys IRC in terms of usability. And that's what ends up counting in the end.
Some roles (ops, sales) are just naturally a lot more inclined to use these kinds of systems. I generalize like that after having watched similar systems at 3 companies; you hardly ever see an engineer give a "taco" for a code review, but someone in another team might give one simply for someone knowing which room a meeting is happening in. It's hard to normalize the culture. I think peer bonuses (which usually require manager approval on one or both sides) tend to be a bit more normalized across teams.
> How many taxing bodies does Canada have? Federal, provincial, and municipal?

For payroll tax, only federal and provincial. Municipalities can only collect property tax, not sales or payroll tax. So, all in all, 14 tax jurisdictions (1 federal, 10 provincial, 3 territorial).

If they were also handling payroll for diplomats and other Canadian employees in other countries, this number could be significantly higher.

Odd - I just Chrome, Firefox and Edge and all have pull up search boxes when I scroll with space.
I would love to move from Google Drive to Dropbox because of syncing issues and the UI/UX but the pricing models kills me. I have around 40 GB of stuff I need to be backed up and in cloud so more than the free version that Dropbox offers but not enough to justify the first tier of 2TB. I get plenty of room to grow with the cheapest version of Google Drive.

I've been tempted to just suck it up and pay for way more than what I need.
Yes, but capital gains are not
You're arguing against a straw man. It's possible to support social and economic policies while recognizing that they have both positive and negative aspects to them.
Thanks! I totally agree with the fact that Forex is such a terrible random thing to be in... The problem is that indeed I did not choose to be there, I happened to do Forex without wanting to do it. I think I'll sell in small batches, at the month low, and so be happy with the outcome regardless of the long term... In the long term $EURUSD may even go crazy and reach 1.4 and that would be terrible for me.
Blue Canvas | Remote | HQ in San Francisco | Backend Developer (Python, Go)

Looking for a Python, Go or Node developer to join our 3 person team.

We help developers in the Salesforce ecosystem write code. Their current workflow is stuck in 1999: No source control, tedious manual deployments, no roll back. We've built a hosted service with automatic source control that "just works", and modern tools to review and deploy updates. We are in a growing, opportunity-rich enterprise market: For every $1 paid to Salesforce, $3 more are spent on customizing it.

So far we have hired slowly because we believe in maintaining high-revenue per employee. We admire companies like Basecamp, Mailchimp and Atlassian. We are funded by customer revenue and Indie.vc.

Our stack is primarily Python and Go (Node.js developers interested in learning Go should also apply). You’ll get to work directly with the CTO on important technology decisions.

Email team@bluecanvas.io if you're interested. No recruiters please.
Really valuable. Working internationally without an undergrad degree is its own class of problem.

Not having a degree in tech remains an extremely expensive (yet surprisingly reliable) counter signal for exceptional technical ability.

The question of why a company should hire someone without a degree overlooks the more accurate one which is, would this person actually still be in tech if they did have a degree?

There are laws and regulations in place to filter those people out, but like anything, there are exceptions to the rules. If you know any of them, they would be really, really useful.
Please stop propagating this article. Its positions are out of date.

FTA: WHAT'S HARD ABOUT DEPLOYING JAVASCRIPT OVER SSL/TLS?

You can't simply send a single Javascript file over SSL/TLS. You have to send all the page contentover SSL/TLS. Otherwise, attackers will hijack the crypto code using the least-secure connection that builds the page.

Seriously? Serving entire websites over https is the norm these days. It appears as though the article has been added to but not updated. Current advocates should re-read the article.
I've used blaze for 2.5 years, best build system ever, but haven't used at all "pants please or buck"
How could source IP spoofing help with DDoS mitigation?
> The anti-missle treaties, a defensive technology, is being used to justify offensive weapons.

Uh, yeah

A central point of the anti-ballistic missile treaty was to curtail a driver for the development of new offensive weapons.

> I understand that the counter strike capabilities are important, but why not just work on your own defensive tech?

Because a central purpose of having offensive weapons is to have an escalation option against any military threat, whether nuclear or not; your opponentd defense negate the utility of that option and your own defenses do not restore it.
During the extended beta period, they are "pay what you want". If you qualify, it's most definitely worth it.
It would be nice to see a metric for performance impact of this blob detection so that gamers with less beefy computers don't have to compromise their gameplay settings to accommodate for this app
how is it taking up that much data? I'm at 550mbs with 6 very active teams and while on voice chat. Dropped out of voice chat I'm at 340mb. Each team has 10-20 channels.

I also use Discord which uses Electron and with it, I'm on 8 separate active servers with anywhere from 10-30 channels. This sits at 115mb without an issue.

Can you tell me where these electron metrics come from where people have slack take up 1gb or even 2gb of memory?
Yes. München has a lot to offer, but my SO could not find anything for her. Also cost of living seems to be higher.
Strange that you're downvoted. Everyone I know is in the same position.

Office 365 for Office apps because they are standard and available offline.

GSuite for better email, calendar and web-based real-time collaboration.

Slack because it has the most integrations at this point.

Box (or Dropbox) for file syncing because their apps are nicer and faster, although Dropbox controls are subpar compared to Box. Both will exist for a long time since OneDrive is utter crap and GSuite Drive File Stream is extremely slow and unreliable.
Just email them
It probably sounds odd, but I think Google is not good at doing large complex projects that require considerable man power and time.

And that's what you need to refine products to the next level (or go into billion dollar markets).

It's partially due to the promotion system, partially due to bring allergic to top down management, paired with some arrogance.

Best example are their numerous failed attempts to do payments. Apart from search and ads (which have strong leadership) the examples are legion.
Amended that to "undergraduate computer science"
I work in analytics in the sales and marketing department at a late stage startup. I was recently tasked with moving from just reporting to working in modeling and prediction.

A first step I thought of was to build some multiple variable models / apply multiple linear regression to try to measure the relative influence of our marketing campaigns and touches to a sale.

With your experience in this area - are there are particular models you recommend trying to build as a first step for someone who's more of a beginner in modeling and predictive analytics? Or business questions you find go the furthest within this specific domain of sales and marketing?
