Sears is out of the game. An alert for your business. How to adapt?
I've played with Semmle's product, which I think is called QL now, and I was very impressed. It's a way to write queries about your code, like "show me lines where the address to a non-packed struct is passed to fwrite() or send()," for example.

clang-query might be conceptually similar (and open source), but QL has some sort of graph database captured at compile time that is extremely fast to query. QL's DSL may also be more intuitive and/or sophisticated than clang's, but I haven't used either in a while.

Unless they've extended it since, QL does not actually simulate execution, so it cannot find some of the same bug patterns that other analyzers can.
I live in a 100 year old neighborhood. Over the past decade or so, there's been new construction - old houses with bad bones are torn down, and new ones built on their lots. But the new houses, try though they may, don't fit the aesthetic of the neighborhood very well. First, none of them use stucco, although stucco is by far the dominant surface material for older houses. It's too expensive for new. And while they have porches, they're made with these ridiculous oversized columns with plastic rocks and fake wood. And the windows! The side windows of our old bungalows are elegantly symmetric. The new ones have the rococo randomness of mcmansions in their windows. They just don't look right at all.

Then again, in 50 more years, who knows?
It's almost a 100%-accurate heuristic if you change the criterion to "Does the headline end with a yes-or-no question?".
That's probably due to OS is much more well known than some random open source software.
Smarter regulation is better than dumber regulation. And some things need regulation.

You're engaging in a slippery slope argument, and I hope no one buys in to your point of view.
Yes, it's literally my only /faved/ story.

The phrase strikes me as hyperbolic, but I agree there is a real problem underlying it.

My point was that people should base their opinions on CHS' claims on her evidence and arguments, rather than who she associates with.
It's not so much utility as it is addiction. A lot of the popular platforms are implemented to take advantage random reinforcement / variable reward schedules, social approval, ego validation, etc.
There's nothing wrong with inciting or carrying out justified violence—which is to say, a violent response to similar violence practiced by others. Your examples of murder and theft, for example. A murderer cannot rationally object to being put to death; a thief cannot argue against being fined without self-contradiction.

The problem is unjustified violence. And I agree with you that most proposals for new laws (including the subject of this article) are advocating for unjustified violence.
> CNN is claiming neglect. They are probably right. But I think FB is overwhelmed too. Especially now that they have news vultures like Vice dunking on them post-Cambridge Analytica.

I've found my folding knives as useful when living in major cities as I have when I've been in the wilderness backpacking. I would hardly call them out of place.
Well, in a past career I worked in film/TV. I needed them. This is an industry like any other. It employs lots of people. Things like blackouts and, in my day, writers strikes impact the livelihoods of a great many.

Now facebook, that is pure luxury that we can all do without. And don't get me started on air travel. Get out and walk. Take a train.
> Many European cities do a much better job of giving space to people instead of cars. We should do a better job of it here too.

this is mainly because many european cities are simply far older then cars, and public infrastructure was usually build around the victorian/late industrial era aswell. This results in a far more limiting option regarding "massive suburs".

Also, many people seem to forget the population density of (western) europe. When the next town with its own 1000+ years history is 20km away, you cannot create urban sprawl without getting resistance from the people living in said village.

> I also imagine the 5G towers will use much more power than say 3G or 4G powers because if 5G wireless tech can't pass easily through objects, then you bet the carriers are going to "maximize" the distance. How? Through more power. So I doubt 5G will be much safer overall. In fact, I'm willing to bet it will be significantly less safe than previous wireless technologies.

As the frequencies increase penetrating power drops off dramatically. I don't care how many nerf darts get thrown at me if they can't pierce my skin they aren't going to kill me. Photons can't gang up and become more penetrative by just having more of them.
As a confirmed gear head I always have at least one folder on me unless strictly forbidden. Usually it's a smallish locking folder on the right pocket, and a larger folder in a slipcase in the left pocket (my "burrito knife"). Then I may have a fine work knife in my tool pouch in my bag (I cycle/transit, so I always have a bag). Finally, I may (usually?) have a larger camp/SHTF knife in the bag as well (I work/live in Metro L.A.¹).

Also: I'm a lifelong nail-biter and I'm basically screwed for lots of little tasks if I don't have some kind of blade on me. (The struggle is real <wink>).

¹— a new habit is keeping a pair of work/utility gloves in my bag at all times. I have enough pairs so I don't have to shuffle them around. When SHTF/The Big One/WOROL happens, being able to protect your hands will be a huge differentiator.

Podaris | Javascript developer | London, UK, | Remote | https://www.podaris.com/

Podaris is re-inventing how the world plans cities. We're developing a platform for urban infrastructure planning that combines elements of BIM and GIS, with a focus on agile, real-time collaboration.

We’re looking for a full-stack software engineer to join our growing team. You'll be able to make a big impact, joining a small but very enthusiastic team. For this role, you'll primarily focus on mathematical problems: computational geometry, parametric constraint solvers, network routing optimisation, etc -- problems that come up in the course of modeling both physical transport infrastructure and transport network simulation and analysis. However you should be enough of a generalist to be unafraid to dive into other areas of the application where needed.

Technology-wise, Podaris is built on Javascript/ES6, Meteor.js, OpenStreetMap, and OpenLayers. Your expertise with Javascript is more important to us than your experience with the particular libraries that we use. Experience with building large single-page apps is particularly helpful. Experience with Java-based OSM routers (and other associated or similar tooling) is also a strong plus.

We're based in London, UK, but are open to remote workers from anywhere in the world, provided we can establish a collaborative rapport. Currently we can only offer a six-month contract, but will aim to convert that into a salaried role pending additional funding. Equity is also available for extraordinarily talented individuals.

But won’t the bankruptcy court be auctioning off these assets? Who cares what value the company says they’re worth when we’re about to find out the actual market value?
It’s all about the context. That’s a list of things that VCs want to see - their business mode is all about funding companies that have a decent shot to make a TONNE of money, reasonably quickly, so they can have a huge exit in the funds timeframe. If you want VC money, it’s reasonable advice to follow. But if you just wanna build an open source passion project, or even a bootstrapped business, it doesn’t apply.

I actually don’t see a conflict between that advice, which is aimed at people trying to start VC funded businesses, and what Linus did, which was an open source passion project that grew into something more.
Helping out "small time inventors" is the convenient, reasonable explanation for patents. It's pure PR. In reality, patents benefit large players far more than small ones. It's just even more reinforcement of the status quo. Make no mistake--it was designed that way from the outset, much like all structures of systemic power.

People say patents just need to be reformed, but I think it's a hopelessly outdated system. It's a relic. It's not the nineteenth century anymore. To say we just need to review patents more carefully and only grant them to deserving and truly novel ideas is naive. The span of fields of specialization is far too wide--who would pay for such an army of specialized patent clerks for every branch of technology? How would you prevent regulatory capture when only the industry they regulate has that kind of expertise? How do you prevent bribery and corruption? It's impossible. We have a terrible patent review system because that is the reality of patent review.
I'll agree to the first part of your statement, but I'll correct the last: regulation has solved many, many problems known to man, but not every problem. Let's not be hyperbolic here.
No, it’s not. If the majority of the adult population was armed, crime would drop. If you’re a criminal and know there is a 90% chance your target will be armed, will you attack? How about if the target is two people. The only irony is thinking that more regulation is a good idea.
In the USA, that right applies to criminal prosecution but not civil cases.
Can't they just make money while selling 0 political ad space? The whackamole infrastructure and the toll it takes on literally everyone and everything involved has got to be worse then not selling political adspace at all.

The poster that you'r replying to didn't "[lose] it". They replied to the contents of your comments and addressed your points.

Compare the U.S. government to Feudalism or a similar form of government--not the U.S. government to Utopia. You're not seeing the point.

This is actually the exact opposite of idealism. Try to account for the reality of human nature in systems and they will have much better results for the humans they affect.

Lumiata | Onsite | San Mateo | Software Engineer - Data Platform, Junior Sysadmin

We're a medical technology company using machine learning and massive amounts of patient data to improve how the healthcare system works. Our tools process millions of patient records to predict what kinds of medical risk and problems will befall a patient and other medically relevant parameters. Join us to learn about the many intricacies of medical data, how to handle very large volumes of patient records, and how to build pipelines to operationalize cutting-edge machine learning models. We have developed a product major healthcare players want to buy and now need to turn it into something big that will streamline how healthcare works, come help us build it out!

Software Engineer: We work mostly in Python and Scala. Main technologies include Spark, TensorFlow, Airflow and Hadoop among others. We’re always trying new things, and you will be part of making those decisions. We’re looking to build more robust pipelines to transform raw, often human-entered data into standards-compliant forms, and to deploy a wide variety of machine learning/AI models in a scalable, traceable manner.

We need several engineers at different levels of experience. We look for independence, a strong sense of craft, and solid technical skills.

Interview Process:

1.) Phone screen for resume

2.) Short take-home problem

3.) Phone conversation about take-home

4.) Onsite with us

Junior Sysadmin: We are also looking for someone who knows their way around a Linux command line, has a basic understanding of computer networks, and is comfortable addressing memory/hard drive/other hardware issues in a datacenter environment. This is an entry-level position for someone wanting to learn about a whole variety of systems.

Odds and ends: mostly onsite in lovely downtown San Mateo but flexible hours. Free lunch, ~25 employees, growing in a field that really affects people's lives. Diverse work environment with good, friendly people.

Please apply at https://lumiata.bamboohr.com/jobs/ and contact hr at lumiata.com with any questions.

Assets get sold off at an auction. Some company controlled by the same owners bids $2 or $2000 or something comparably irrelevant for the patent portfolio, because only a patent troll needs these trash patents, and all the other patent trolls already have their packs. The creditors of the insolvent get these pennies, but the previous owners continue their patent trolling business under a new company and name with the same bad patents.

Ditto on this. I've been doing this by doing things like updating our libraries to be more secure, implementing lazy-loading, speeding up our build times, etc. Things that all increase engineering productivity and happiness and simultaneously aren't necessarily things that would be prioritized to be worked on normally. And of course as you point out, they're all things that can be worked on without blocking anyone while I get pulled away from code for sometimes days at a time.
