Unfortunately this would only apply to one-on-one low latency video chats. For streaming to an audience, which generally uses a distribution network between the user and the video source to help handle load and geographical distribution, the CDN itself has no influence on video encoding. The CDN would need to jump in and do this back-and-forth negotiation and delivery of lower quality frames, which it is not currently suited for. I'd love to see it come about, but it's not just the codecs we need to look at for adoption beyond point-to-point video calls.

Portchain | Copenhagen, Denmark | Fulltime | REMOTE | Full stack Software Engineer
We're hiring a full stack developer (NodeJS, React, MarkoJS front-end, PostgreSQL) to join our team of 4 remote developers (incl. the engineering manager onsite in Copenhagen).

Experience working remotely needed. Minimum 5 years of professional software engineering experience.

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.portchain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience.

You should definitely buy an iPhone, and if you're wondering why I feel so strongly about it, the answer is that I have a lot of money in AAPL.

A word of warning: if you have an ethical problem with spam phone calls then you should think twice about applying to work for Lending Tree. They do not honor requests to stop calling prospective customers. After giving them my phone number a few years ago, I continue to receive calls to this day, despite requesting each time that they remove me from their lists. It’s not just me; a quick web search reveals countless similar complaints.
They aren't forced to, they are trained to. The usage of a social network is innocuous at first.

Similarly, a person is not necessarily forced to start using narcotics to develop a dependency.

Moves like this intrigue me.

On the one hand, I support creating new platforms with security built-in by default, but on the flip side, the Chrome team just axed HPKP without even so much as bothering to try to refine it to mitigate the footguns.

I don't understand how the web-facing security decisions at Google are made. :/
They need to account for currents as well otherwise a straight line wouldn't be straight at all

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote ok (we are in Maine & Tampa, FL)

We're looking someone to work with Squaremill http://squaremill.com as a Ruby on Rails freelancer. We're looking for someone that can commit to a six month contract at approx 20 hours a week and that has the following skills:

- Ruby on Rails

- JS (React, plain JS)

- Sysadmin (configuring linux boxes, working knowledge of AWS etc.)

Please send your rates, resume, github if you have it and any examples of work you'd like us to see.
I don't know that I have ever used contract for hire in the definition of California, but it is the preferred way to do. If I have an opening for direct hire I get to read some resumes, check your references, have an interview and hope that tells me how well you will write code. Of course how well somebody interviews tells me nothing about how they code, and references are chosen and coached so they are not reliable.

The alternative is hire somebody for a few weeks of contract, and if they are good give them an offer. Note that I specified two weeks. One of my past bosses said he knew faster than the new guys co-workers: when he asked the rest of the team how the new guy was doing, if the guy was good on the 3rd day you could see the mental shift as the team realized the guy hadn't been on the team for years (even though he was asking the teammate who had come to ask when the new guy's computer would arrive). If the guy wasn't good there would be several weeks of he is "getting up to speed".

HotelTonight | San Francisco | Onsite

HotelTonight is hotel booking service that started out doing last-minute bookings for the best boutique hotels. Since then we've expanded our booking window and now aim to be the only hotel booking app you need. We are the original mobile-first hotel booking service, and are the only true startup with traction that is not owned by one of the big two online travel agencies.

I am personally hiring a mid-level to senior polyglot web engineer to take ownership of several pieces that make up our content website. At a minimum you will be working with Rails, React, WordPress and Varnish. Good understanding of the HTTP protocol and web fundamentals is you will be driving architectural changes to the way our websites are served. This role is ideal for someone with significant WordPress experience who is looking to expand their experience in a modern JS stack. Full description and application at: https://jobs.lever.co/hoteltonight/e64636ba-9b9c-48cd-aecc-a...

Many other roles are available as well: https://www.hoteltonight.com/about/careers
Primary effect - An effect on the input arguments, who's effect is captured in the output.

Side effect - An effect on state that was not passed in as input arguments, who's effect may or may not be captured on the output.

Side effect free - Also known as pure, means the function only has a primary effect. Thus it only effects the input in a way that the output captures.

Idempotent - Applying a function to itself results in the same effects. Applies to both primary and side effects.

Where things get weird, is that there's also the following:

- An effect on implicit input state, which did not come from input arguments, who's effect is captured on the output. This would be like a HTTP GET. Or any query on a DB where the DB is an implicit input.

- An effect who's effect is captured on implicit output state, either by having its effect captured on an input (like a modification to a pointed object), or captured on output not returned by the function (like print to screen). This would be like a HTTP POST.

And now if you look at all these, there's an easy permutations of them. So you can build a table like so:

Input | Output | Idempotent
Arguments | Return Value | Yes
Arguments | Return Value | No
Arguments | Outside State | Yes
Arguments | Outside State | No
Arguments | Arguments | Yes
Arguments | Arguments | No
Outside State | Return Value | Yes
Outside State | Return Value | No
Outside State | Arguments | Yes
Outside State | Arguments | No
Outside State | Outside State | Yes
Outside State | Outside State | No

All these combinations are possible. That's why it can be really tricky.
They do not support C officially, but every CPU designer knows that 99%+ of the code that matters is written in C. Therefore they design chips targeting this translation from C. What the authors want is a better lower level interface that would allow for modern processor features without the legacy of the features available to the PDP11.

Many of these features are very difficult to use in a useful way in a static context (e.g. at compile time) because the performance gains mostly come from taking advantage of dynamic context. Speculative execution and out of order execution for example are mostly useful because you don't know at compile time exactly what data your code is processing or what CPU it is running on, what function / context you are being called from, what is in cache and what isn't, etc.

The SPUs on the PlayStation 3 were an experiment in user managed caches and that proved to be a difficult thing to make effective use of even in games where you know more context than a lot of code can assume.

Hey are you guys hiring new grad developers?
One place you can come across them is in IP header processing. Very first byte of an IPv4 header is defined as:

struct ip {
#if BYTE_ORDER == LITTLE_ENDIAN
u_char ip_hl:4, /* header length */
ip_v:4; /* version */
#endif
#if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
u_char ip_v:4, /* version */
ip_hl:4; /* header length */
#endif

As you can already see, they're kind of a pain to work with, so most people avoid them when possible.

Seems kind of extreme to me. Article mentions that our "attention has been colonized". Maybe focus a little more on how your attention is being sold instead of targeted.

Understanding the way FB values users ($100/year if you're in the US) and sells their attention to marketers would instruct better ways to deal with attention colonization IMHO.
In my experience, people that have been absorbed into the collective must decide for themselves to leave it. Some may not have the will power or desire to do so and some may be oblivious to the effects it has on them.

In my opinion, this is nearly identical to seeing friends hooked on powerful drugs. I can't tell them it's hurting them. They have to experience enough negative effects to reach out for help themselves. Some choose to ignore many of the harmful effects. Usually a significant amount of damage has occurred by the time they accept something is wrong.
