Workday | Senior iOS Developer | San Francisco | http://www.workday.com | ONSITE full-time

Workday is a large and growing (public with a ~$30B market cap) enterprise software company, and we're looking for skilled intermediate or senior iOS developers to join my Media Cloud team in downtown SF. You’ll be working with an agile development team to develop a top-notch video player and interactive video features for Workday’s application suite.

Our team is passionate and curious, and looking for developers who are the same. We value our employees above all, and believe that a kind, collaborative, and diverse team will produce better products.

Workday's software suite includes HCM, Financials, Recruiting, Learning, and more. Our software powers the world's largest and best businesses, like Amazon, Netflix, Patagonia, Wal-Mart, Sony, Toyota, VMware, Visa, and Yale University.

You'll mainly be working in Swift on iOS development. But you’ll also end up touching plenty of other programming languages, including web technologies - learning on the job is expected. We are looking for candidates with 3-5+ years of full-time paid iOS work experience.

If you're interested, shoot me an email: charlie.stigler@workday.com

I'm a senior engineering manager at Workday with a startup background (Workday acquired us in 2016) - would love to talk to you if this job description sounds like a fit. =)
Serious question: Why do you think m.uber.com is a great piece of engineering? I've tried it on 3 phones, with 3 different browsers, and I've never gotten it to work at all. I'm not saying that your experience is invalid or anything, just that my impression is the opposite of yours, and I'm wondering why.
So, Boston wins!
id say middle age and older people would. they were shown in various movies during the 90s but yea. younger people probably think of the IRA savings account.
Can you not start this discussion while the blood is still wet on the ground? What is wrong with you?
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far—demonstrating that the ultrastructure (connectome) is preserved. The connectome is a necessary starting point upon which models of the brain can be built [0]. We intend to continue researching and validating preservation of important biomolecules as we explore the efficacy limits of ASC. We intend to develop these tools on a timeline to allow proper feedback from the neuroscience community. I certainly don’t want our marketing to imply that we have near-term or even specific plans to offer anything commercially for clinical use, so I will read through our website again and try to find areas where one can get the wrong idea.

“Some people say we don't know anything about how C. elegans's brain works and I am like, 'Yes, we do!'" says Cornelia Bargmann of The Rockefeller University, who has studied the nematode for more than two decades and attended the Columbia debate. "A lot of what we know about C elegans's rapid behaviors we have learned through and with the connectome. Every time we do an experiment, we look at those wiring diagrams and use them as a starting point for generating hypotheses."

> Given that suicidal shooters often crave attention, this is the wrong signal to send.

This CAN NOT be said enough. Blasting a name and attention (fame) leads to copycats.
This argument is absurd. Most of the time, Americans can't organize enough to start a union, or even join one. The idea of Americans organizing an insurgency is ridiculous. The idea of Americans winning an insurgency, against the largest army in the world - an army that has more counter-insurgency experience than anybody except perhaps the IDF, is still more ridiculous. Guns will never check anything because the only thing that checks power is another powerful organization - a protest movement, or a union. Guns are what happen when a protest movement fails, and if you're relying on civilian-grade stuff at this point, your protest movement is screwed anyway.
Have you tried Windows Mixed Reality? The MR home is beautiful!
Presumably it's a technological arms race in which the platform has little incentive to innovate to get ahead of the touts. The platform gets paid either way, whether fans or touts are buying. Touts however, are massively incented to keep fans away from the hottest tickets.
How far away are we from 3D printer + CNC mill/laser cutter + robot arm for assembly?

Incremental deposition may not yield a working 3D printer, but couldn't a small ensemble of machines construct all their parts? (Minus the chips, for now)
Yea I second that, and have been doing this combination for years. For the client programs:

Pidgin with OTR - Linux/Windows
Adium with OTR - Mac
ChatSecure/ZOM - iOS/Android

Used on top of some XMPP service underneath such as Cisco Jabber.
The phrasing of this title is far too flip for a tragedy, especially one this fresh.
Less is always better, and so we should jump on board with efforts that will reduce them.

At the same time, it was laid out in the Federalist Papers (No. 46) that the intention of our Second Amendment is to protect against government tyranny. To summarize the American philosophy: School shootings and gun violence are awful, but the possibility of a genocide or enslavement is worse.

I'm not enough of an expert in any field to speculate which is objectively better, however I've always personally believed that the U.S. will be safer when viewed in a longer timescale compared to our neighbors.
That means that nearly 30 thousand americans will lose their lives to mass shootings. That's insane.
Sure would be nice to have a gun to protect yourself when the police aren't able to.
I've assumed that. I appreciate the advice. I got a little heated in the Berkeley Study article this week. I guess I get to a point when some things are plain as day to me, such as "Humans learn better when they are more awake than less awake", and then read people pontificate about how this is such a profound insight, and confirms a hunch they've had their whole life. Its like I can see myself getting wound up, but I can't resist correcting my detractors. It only get's worse when people can enumerate the trees, but roll their eyes at others claiming a forest.

I even knew going into my final retort to /u/dang that he'd swing the banhammer. But something in the back of my mind just said "hold my beer".

I fully agree that honey kills more flies than vinegar. But I'm also a Lord of the Rings fan. Pip and Merri only convince the Ents to go to war through forcing them to confront the clear cut forest. It was the Ents position, much like the US before WWI, that this too shall pass, and we shouldn't involve ourselves in the affairs of men/europe.

I'm not saying confrontation is always defensible, but its also not always indefensible.

I guess I struggle at picking my battles.
No mention of fugitive slave laws?
That's right, 'real' tech companies such as Apple, Intel, Samsung, and many others can sell as many products as there are bits streaming across the network.
Cloud is an option for really large memory requirements. You can provision machines with nearly 2TB of RAM in AWS, and its pretty cost effective if you only spin them up when you actually need them.
Sure, you're free to do so, but this isn't at all relevant here.
There’s more to the government than the army. Go talk to some people from an ethnic group over represented in prison and ask them if the idea of police being armed while citizens are forcibly unarmed sits well...
This is too little too late for Facebook. They are just trying to save as much face as possible now.
Do they really curb the power though?

What is one reasonable scenario of a thing the government may want to do, that we could stop because we have a firearm.

I have a gun, and I don't think the government really has a right to tax me for an unjust undeclared war. If I don't pay my taxes, I don't think the United States military or law enforcement cares that I may be armed.
I admit that I don't have much expertise on the matter, having only ever operated a GSM cell site simulator (never LTE), but the max range I remember (in ideal conditions) is something like 35 miles.
Really interesting article. Unfortunately it looks like media preservation only goes so far: I'm getting 404s for all of the embedded audio files.
Female suspect dead in YouTube headquarters shooting
First off, again we are currently conducting research and are not preserving people.

Our early supporters have shown their support for Nectome’s research through fully refundable deposits, and we hope that they will live long, healthy lives, creating the very memories that they hope can one day be preserved.
How is a shortened link an affiliate link?
I'm not sure MS vs Google in search is a good example, since by and large many people still have the impression that Bing isn't very good.

Last time I used it, this was the case. I don't know if it's changed, I'd be willing to believe either way.
Which functions are you using?
Trump administration details $50B in tariffs against imports from China
OpenBSD introduced getentropy(2). Since it is a subset of getrandom(2) functionality, glibc added a compatibility wrapper that provides the same ABI.

(FreeBSD only recently added the getrandom(2) syscall and getentropy(3) libc wrapper functions in -CURRENT.)
While the author used software to retrieve the sound, I bet it could be done with photochemical methods onto a copper disk, similar to how circuit boards are etched.

Or how soundtracks are photographed onto movie film.
The current interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, that it's a blanket grant for anyone to be allowed to own a firearm, is actually recent (2008!). Before that, it was well understood that there are limits to the forms of firearm ownership that the 2nd Amendment grants.

There is nothing preventing us from going back to the older (IMO correct) interpretation.
Are we ever going to see any of the controversial posts and ads that supposedly influenced the US election? I don't see anything US politics or election related in the samples they showed.

The fact that the core developers of the ORM think that defaulting to case-insensitivity for all queries and not using indexes is OK is enough to scare me away.
> That the W3690 is not the same uarch as the W3670 and W3680 is weird as all hell.

Well that's the thing - they are the same thing! The difference between Gulftown and Westmere-EP seems to be entirely marketing, but this marketing difference now results in patching difference.
It's hard to see minor details like that from high up in an ivory tower.

Lower income urban voters tend to be split on gun control depending on the type. There's little support there for anything that would make it more costly or time consuming for someone without a record of violent crime to buy a firearm.
To be fair, the European's and British, losing their mind on many levels as well. (I'm german)
Most of the so called "emerging tech" projects at JPM are being phased out due to not delivering the promised returns on investment (lots of money for expensive developers to build out moonshot projects with little concrete deliverables).
Does REMOTE here mean countries other than Germany?
To be fair, it wasn't dry from the last shooting (Parkland) yet before it got wet from this one. If you have to wait until it's dry to discuss solutions, at this rate you'd be waiting forever!
Is there any specific reason you said hundreds of thousands of accounts, and not tens of thousands, millions, or dozens?
> It could even do that for urandom already.

It could, in the sense that anything is possible, but that isn't the behavior the Linux kernel community has chosen. And they are pretty good about not changing published interfaces at this point. At least getrandom(2) provides the sane behavior (and does not require an fd or filesystem namespace access).

> IIRC that's what BSDs do.

Yep, at least FreeBSD.
Yours is not a unique sentiment, but I find it so disheartening. Vague laws enforced selectively are bad for the rule of law. Is the schadenfreude from sticking it to whatever American company is selected worth that?
Nothing screams "free thinking" and "tolerant right wing" than an angry comment getting downvoted. Hacker News has become a Trumpbot playground.
Is there some minimal number of fatal auto accidents that's acceptable? My position is that we clearly have shown that this country cannot be trusted with personal possession of motor vehicles, so let's all calmly proceed towards no longer having them around.
I took the OCaml MOOC to learn OCaml programming. It had many portioned exercises, The video content was very high quality. The online code editor was pretty amazing as well, as it autoformatted the code as I typed it and even compiled and executed in the browser. Some of the problems required one to think outside the box.

ship of theseus isn't relevant to nectome's claims or any claim regarding "uploading". "uploading" is just creating a copy in a different media. it doesn't preserve the conscioussness of the original media, it merely creates another. i think you'll find that the problems of philosophy and neuroscience operate at a different level of abstraction than what they're discussing.

furthermore, academic concerns aside, there's no disproving my original comment in the context of technical feasibility. it's literally bulletproof; one person does not share the sensations of another person.

postscript: i took a philosophy of mind class and a philosophy of cognition class and a systems neurobiology class in college plus a few others that are tangentially relevant. i'm not appealing to authority here, just stating that my simplistic objections are actually the result of an extensive amount of diving into the details of those disciplines. sometimes the details build a picture that's simple from afar.
Or Google and Facebook will be held to a higher standard of compliance.
Whenever I hear that brought up as an argument, I recommend listening to what Jim Jefferies had to say about gun control. Despite Jim Jefferies being a comedian and phrasing his arguments in a comical, comedic way, I've yet to see anyone give a convincing counter-argument, especially to the "you're bringing a gun to a drone fight" part.

I think the police would be even more aggressive if they knew citizens were unarmed.
Well why do you need a dock at all? In Singapore and China, I find shared bikes from different providers neatly parked virtually at any major bus stop, subway station mall or apartment block and it's very convenient for say doing a short shopping trip or going to the metro. Is the problem that people in DC don't park properly?
>It's clear that in our modern era, with our extremely robust theories of physics, backed by extremely precise observations of the universe, that the religious explanations of existence are false.

I think that's up for debate still.
I would very strongly recommend a simple WYSIWYG interface for non-technical users, if rich text is even necessary. Every barrier you create to entry will frustrate or drive away users.
For version 2.0: e-bikes

Paris’ system is rolling out ebikes on their system. Can’t do that without docks.

But the capex goes way up now that they all need electrification.
The GP isn't talking "solutions", he's talking media conspiracies and down playing the issue.
I'd go as far as to say that those folks would be the ideal audience.
nerd fight!!!
I personally think this part of the second amendment is outdated.

The check on violent government overreach are the moral compasses of individual soldiers, peaceful protests and a free media.
If we get past all of these things, no "well regulated Militia" is going to stop the U.S. Army. The best chance would be state national guards.
My point here is that fully automatic fire, tanks, artillery and air support make any resistance useless. Perhaps a guerrilla war could be fought, but to someone seeking complete control fighting guerrillas is an annoyance, not an obstacle.

This is mostly because the FDA tightly restricts ownership of 'destructive devices', which are the weapons needed to fight an effective war.
I’m reminded of the benefits of cash whenever I go certain parts of SEA, like the Philippines, where using cash is actually more convenient than using a card (less time dealing with receipts and signatures, don’t have to hope their credit card machine has a working connection, etc.)
Most of the companies you’ve listed pay dividends. You can’t track what they return to investors year over year simply by comparing differences in book value.
It doesn't work that way in Sails 1.0; case sensitivity is adapter-specific
Yea, I mean having a German (or other European) trustee.

> if your new to city and want to come there, anything less than 120K (300K+ if you have a family of 4) isn't going to make it.

Not everyone earning $120k+ are "people with access to intergenerational wealth and/or who don't work and just live off investments". In fact I'd venture to say that most aren't.
It remains to be seen whether these scandals will have any real effect in the long run. Facebook grew to be a behemoth, now it seems almost "too big to fail".
DoT regulations don't require they do that, although in the event of substantial delays they will often. The reality is cash comp is only due in the event of involuntarily denied boarding situations.
Just an order of magnitude guess. It could be tens of thousands, it could be millions, I'm just an outsider looking in. But it seems clear that it is at least a couple orders of magnitude more than just the 70 they found and publicized so far.
5hr delay on a 1,5hr flight from Berlin to Paris. If they'd use Docker with React this would have never happened!

Why We Need to Rethink the Existing Safety Nets
Any suggestions as far as the “most right” answers for those of us stuck with FIPS 140-2 due to upstream compliance requirements?
Whoa, my mistake. Thanks for the correction.
Just this week I saw footage of police murdering an unarmed man in Baton Rouge. Had that person actually been armed, maybe he could have defended himself.

What about the performance benefits (ie, incremental builds being broken in Maven)? EDIT - to clarify - has anyone found a way to make Maven just as fast?

We have Maven builds that can take an hour and Gradle drops that down to minutes (or less than a minute).
I'm not American - so I'm not particularly out to convince anybody. I think gun-ownership is really embedded into the deep and often weird tangle of american identity, and it's basically immune to rational argument at this point.

On a purely technical level, I think the problem with the arguments you've mentioned are they don't generally stand on an even footing with the arguments against gun-ownership, except perhaps the one about self defense. Gun violence is a problem that costs lives, tears apart communities, and destroys families. For gun ownership to make sense, it needs to serve a similarly grave purpose. In that vein, only self-defense would fit the bill.

At which point, we break out the statistics - and it turns out that guns are kind of terrible for self defense. I think Americans would be better off just paying more taxes (with the money they would have spent on guns), and spending the money on police or social programs.

That said, many iconic possessions of western society are pretty horrible from a cost-benefit perspective. So I guess guns are just the most egregious.
They've now introduced the ability to pay by any contactless card, not just Oyster. I think long term they will phase out Oyster. One of the benefits to them of doing so would be the fact that it's not as easy to have multiple contactless credit/debit cards as it is to have multiple Oyster cards.

To be frank, though, I'm struggling to see what the fuss is about when it comes to TfL. It's their system and they can do what the heck they want with it. As their customer I am OK with them tracking me around their property.
nice. whenever i am in between jobs, and are plotting the next thing to do - i turn to lisp :|
The other explanation is very low power / short range e.g. femtocells. If a Stingray-like device is affecting a single building or the like, targeting a particular person, it likely won't be noticed by anyone.
I think the "awkward conversations" are already over:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16737072
well, let's just cut the philosophical debate in half here.

"you" have a chain of consciousness that is unique to your body. you destroy that body, and that chain of consciousness ends. re-assembling it elsewhere perfectly doesn't re-start that chain. it creates a new chain which from inside of its own perspective is consistent with the original chain. and it is. but the original chain has no further consciousness, as it was destroyed.

this isn't a "nobody really knows" situation so much as a "we know, but people refuse to accept what we know" situation. the semantics of what is "you" really don't matter when faced with reality.
I am not familiar with this term, “black-throw”, can you elaborate?
> The media frenzy makes this look like some kind of out-of-control epidemic

Any rationale behind media sensationalize shootings? Just purely for the stun/shock factor? or perhaps borderline propaganda towards certain agenda?
RISC-V: A new hope
The pro gun crowd is as irrational, if not more, than the anti gun crowd. Ever since the NRA in the late 1970s shifted its focus away from responsible gun use to guns as a means to fight against internal tyranny, the “Personal responsibility” aspect has fallen by the wayside. Any laws attempting to enforce personal responsibility (insurance, storage) as in other gun using countries (Germany, Switzerland) are promptly lobbied against because that isn’t what that side is about anymore.
Scalable Fabric for Deep Learning on Kubernetes (FfDL)
Do Americans love guns that much?? I mean, there are so many other toys to play with.

Does owning a gun cause a nice buzz? Is it a social lubricant that makes everybody at a party happier when you bring it out? Does it have an ancient history that spans across the globe? Does it result in a chemical addiction?

Haven't found a good replacement for alcohol that wasn't more illegal or harmful.
This is not how it works. The goal of these accounts was to build a following to be able to influence more people. A page with a couple of hundreds likes or followers will have much more impact than a million accounts with no followers. Building audiences to influence people is hard and takes time. It is much more probable that there are around 70 accounts than millions. Sorry to be that blunt but do you know anything about this matter?
Does anyone have some good statistics on school-shootings vs workplace shootings? I have to imagine the latter is far more prevalent than the former
What is the basis for debate? We have observable, testable, repeatable, data backed hypotheses on one hand and stories on the other.
Nonsense, I trained a deep neural network on MNIST.
