Sorry, I meant on new projects. I'm not talking about using the latest and shiniest thing, I mean using C# or Python or some other language.

However if youre strongest in Java then you should probably do Java.
It doesn’t really matter, if you get a dmca takedown just delete that file. But I doubt you will, especially if it’s just your friends hosting it.
You don't have to use any of it. This website you're reading is just HTML from a server.
It is true archeology.
Grid power distribution itself is barely more than a century old, and you think it will take several times that to adjust to a mix of different power sources, despite that being already well underway? On what basis?
> I know it would be wildly popular in places like Utah because I fear legal pursuit from authors/publishers (and since you must break DRM in order for the tech to work, I don't see a way out).

FWIW, congress wrote an exemption to the Copyright Act when a company wanted to do this for movies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Entertainment_and_Cop...

So if your product was actually popular enough in Utah that might happen again. Of course that was 13 years ago.
Where do you not have cellular reception? Even our secret vacation spot has 4g now.

I understand that without cellular, there is value, but is there any value with internet?
Does psychology have a conflict-of-interest problem?
> But to be fair, the wording of amateur radio regulations in many countries suggests that hams should not try to have substantial conversations over the airwaves.

But it's worth noting: A lot of that verbiage dates from the Cold War, and is rooted in the spy communications culture that leftover from WW2. It's pretty doubtful that any intelligence service gives a damn about what goes over the air these days. In fact, it would be a bonus for your adversary's old-fashioned "listening posts", because they could "intercept" the broadcast.

So an ITU update to what is allowed to go out over the air would also be sensible.

Edit: Although you just know encrypted packets would be forbidden, despite the fact that we can easily send encrypted packets via the internet, which requires a great deal more work to "intercept".
Layer rotation: a surprisingly powerful indicator of generalization?
Show HN: Build your own online school
This will probably get buried but does anyone remember having to flip the tape over and the experience associated with the album in doing that? For example, on Metallica's Black Album, it ends on the first side Don't tread on me and then starts on the second side wtih Through the Never. If you dont know about the tape flip, you dont appreciate the beggining of "through the never" IMHO.

Also five eye governments collect most of the (open/covert) data that they want when you a) apply for visa and b) you check in.
By the sounds of it the DOM itself shouldn't be changing though, just the text in text nodes and style attributes. It should be fast.
We definitely did, there was an immediate, directly correlated increase in user signups while we ran ads, and an immediate corresponding drop when we stopped them. Looking over ~12 months of analytics and usage data in hindsight, Google Search ads were the primary drive in signups.

The users we got through ads were generally surprisingly high quality too, they stuck around and continued to play games for many months, even years after signing up, in an industry with relatively high churn (free online games).
This is just email tech playing catch up with instant messaging, twitter, and other communication tools.

At least with email I can block images and prevent the tracking from occurring. I can't do that with facebook or twitter.
Rest of China is captured by wechat anyways. This is only really useful for foreign reporters travelling in XinJiang. China could technically just ban foreigners from travelling there but somehow thinks the optics of this is better.

This sounds great! What sort of climate are you in? And may I ask if you (or anyone else here who has done this) has kids? I would love to replace or supplement my lawn with clover or thyme, but I’m a little concerned that I’d be asking for my kids’ feet to get stung.
Yes and that is a serious problem. Why don’t you submit a story and discuss it there, rather than perpetuate Whataboutism?
Agreed, going to take a proctored test is such a huge barrier to entry.
There was a really interesting discussion recently in r/Clojure about Svelte, and how its ideas relate to and can be translated to Clojurescript.

> The US ...

This style of argument is deflection, and it gets us nowhere.

It's very effective in redirecting the focus away from one bad actor and onto another bad actor, though.
This is not correct, and there is even a section in the post rebutting this point (did you read it?).

See "Email clients have done this for years. Even Apple does this with iMessage"
I'm hosting on Microsoft Azure, so Application Insights gives me most of the server monitoring, but you make a good point about checking 3rd party services that I have dependencies on and tracking license expiration dates, which I have no process for at the moment. I'll check in to that.
What I've found is that when engineers are sensitive to giving estimates its a symptom of some sort of insecurity around their work. They're probably also feeling that they are 'outside' the decision making/power structure.

What helps is first identifying why an engineer is feeling insecure about their job, imposter syndrome, some sort of life events you may not know about. If the engineer hasn't been having issues delivering, then you want to really talk with them and find out what it is. Why do they feel they're going to get in trouble or 'beat up' if they don't hit the estimate. If they have been having issues, then you should be identifying why those issues have been having, but that is a whole different set of issues than what I think this thread is talking about.

If they are feeling outside, this is probably evidence that this engineer feels that they've been shut out giving input for the 'how' or 'why' questions surrounding the design of the project. They also maybe having resistance to opting into what the goal/product is. Perhaps the goal isn't clear, perhaps the goal isn't well defined, or there is some bigger issues.

Finally, if you as a manager aren't constantly getting estimates as the project is progressing, especially if you aren't using an agile framework, then you need to. If you are using it, have you pointed your backlog without input of the team? Are the scores stale and if you repointed, with new info the scores would be much different?

If you (anyone reading this) are a manager and you think your job is to get an estimate and drive your engineers towards that, then you are only doing only a superficial part of the job.
+1 really!!!
No it's not, no one is rewritting their front ends every year to change frameworks. React was released 6 years ago, Angular fully released about 3 years ago. Just because some person decided to build something that solved their problem and may help others doesn't mean you need to adopt it and change everything. This argument that everyone needs to slow down because some people don't like hearing about change is ridiculous.

No other platform is as widespread and accessible as the web. There's more developers able to target sites that fit a massive range of uses, more than any other platform ever. So ofcourse there are going to be different needs for different use cases.
I think svelte compiling to native javascript is lightyears more understandable than whatever the hell react is doing
The article only mentions Android. Does anyone know what the process is for iPhones at the border?
Stopping noncitizens at the border for processing is a far cry from dragging millions of people out of their homes.
This is grasping at straws. If you think the situation in US is anywhere remotely close to China, you are either under the influence of severe propaganda, or just don't know what's actually going on in both countries.

China has no actual rule of law and is a de facto authoritarian dictatorship.
As a previous fan of C# and a long time Java sufferer, I'm pretty sure it's too little, too late for C#. Sadly, years of being locked to Windows has stunted the C# ecosystem and given Java enough time to get less horrible.

Java 8+ is okay. Lombok helps. There's other great, mature libraries around. There's a choice of IDEs. There's JREs to choose from - there's even JVMs to choose from. Gradle makes build files not suck and makes it easy to add static checking and linting to the build process. AFAIK, C# doesn't have auto-formatting options outside the IDE.

As much as I used to have your view, Java is alive, works fine, and makes money. Or Minecraft mods.

> I think better advice to the advisor would be to not judge people for how they are dressed.

This would be strange advice, because you clearly would judge someone going to a high-end restaurant in a bathing suit, to a funeral in nothing but underpants or to a wedding wearing a SS uniform. These are ridiculous examples, of course, but they appear so ridiculous because one of the fabrics of any society is that on certain occasions, you should try to tune down your individuality as best as possible and try to blend in with others. In my opinion, visiting a foreign country as a guest is one of these occasions.
Sounds like the right approach, start with something external or non-critical then do new feature development or rebuilding old features.

The other question is hiring/training. I should attend one of those Elixir meetups in Toronto.

Thanks for the reply.
comes in black, why would any one need another color. Glad we all settled on black being the only color for cars.
Just to let you know; most of your links do not work.
Even though people have downvoted you, personally I agree with you, I haven't added any semicolons to main.js though because that file was automatically created in the original project I forked, if I ever have to edit it I will add the semicolons as I'm there but I haven't touched that file yet.
Limestone can be on the "softer" side (part of why it formed natural caves so easily) so that might not be the greatest idea, at the very least for liability reasons.

Snowplow Analytics | Engineers | Full-time | Remote |

Snowplow is a fast-growing London-born startup. Having doubled in size in the last 18 months, we're now looking for a Scala, Full-Stack and Mobile Engineer to join our fully remote engineering team:

Full Stack Engineer: https://jobs.lever.co/snowplowanalytics/b6aa238e-d7e7-4840-9...

Scala Engineer: https://jobs.lever.co/snowplowanalytics/8d30a509-b371-46fb-8...

Mobile Engineer: https://jobs.lever.co/snowplowanalytics/46adcfdd-d6c2-45d4-8...

At Snowplow, we are on a mission to empower people to differentiate with data.

There are tens of thousands of pipelines using our open source pipeline worldwide, handling data emitted from over half a million sites, apps and IOT devices. We also collect, validate, enrich and load up to 5 billion events for our customers each day. We help our users to securely and responsibly track comprehensive data sets to drive their business decisions.
No it shouldn’t. It’s amateur radio, and an amateur should not have to develop an OFDM modem with LDPC coding, just to experiment. They should be able to cobble together a single tube radio and have fun, while learning something. You don’t want to turn 99.99% of amateur licensees into appliance operators.
Yes the machine can do those things, you're right. If that's all you meant then sure the abstraction is enough. But you can learn those broad concepts using Python if you want to.

However, what the machine is actually doing can differ substantially from these naive models. An algorithm that should be slower according to the C model can in reality be fast. Registers, cache levels, vectorization, etc are all concepts that C doesn't teach. Compilers often have extensions to C that enable more direct access (and also do things like adjust memory layout) but at that point you're no longer using the C model.

Optimizing compilers (and even cpus themselves) also do a good job of trying to uphold the abstraction but at the end of the day it's still leaky.

So knowing what the machine is actually doing is helpful.

Apple with the end of the Mac and iPhone is next? ;)

(What's ahead is not quite predictable. It might be VR, BCI or something entirely different from either.)
I was referring to "give away a list of all their social media accounts and all their email accounts", not "If you ... you must now share that information". Your references make no mention of the former.
I thought that this trick was as old as html email, and that (at least) gmail was actually caching images on their side to prevent tracking?
Am I the only one who would rather write the following instead of JSX?

What if you just say no? I don't use any social media and it can't be that unusual
I run a service placing bids the last few seconds on eBay. Every time this happens I lose measurable business (we place thousands of bids per day). While it doesn’t affect scheduled bids, they can’t place bids and are likely to move to a competitor. These recent outages have been costly.

Does anyone know a more reliable provider?
I'm in Albuquerque (zone 7). I'm not sure this is a great kid lawn because while it will hold up to foot traffic, it might get kind of torn up if kids are running around on it a lot.
Why do e-mail clients still load images by default? This is not a new attack, or even hard to predict.
I downvoted you because this whataboutism is a distraction from the topic. We should fight back against the US policy too but it's clearly not the same thing.
June was hottest month ever recorded on Earth
Of course! I didn't even think about that. Sometimes you don't see what's right in front of you.
I have a question for the Android people, as this feature alone would make me switch from iOS to Android:

Can you set up Android so that you can press and hold volume up to skip to the next song, press and hold volume down to go to the previous one?
Oracle's argument is that it shouldn't be delivered as a single contract and should be split among multiple cloud vendors.

Anyone whose used AWS/Azure/Oracle Cloud will tell you why that idea is problematic. Particularly when dealing with a hardened government version of these cloud environments.

The only potential corruption their complaint indicates is the hiring of a decision maker at the DoD. It is a bad look. I'd need to see the timeline/understand more about it to form an opinion.
I disliked The Gods Themselves when I read it the first time because of all the freaky alien sex that was described in so much detail. Of course I was a child at the time.

I liked Foundation because of the series aspect - it was a cool premise and it was good to have so many books cover it thoroughly. I did find the last bits that were just to tie it together with the Elijah Bailey stories to be boring.
McFunley is awesome! Been an inspiration since "Choose Boring Technology" was released! It's a shame not many ppl follow his advice.
>It’s weird to think that, in the years before the Walkman, there was no way to listen to music privately while out in public. There were ways to bring music with you — on transistor radios, on boom boxes, on car stereos — but they forced you to subject everyone around you to that music, as well.

No, the mono earpiece was a common thing with many transistor radios from the 60's. They didn't have stereo, no, so they didn't accomodate 2-ear pods or headphones.
I may be wrong but I believe google cached it after you open the email first. So your IP is hidden and you can't tell how many times someone has opened an email, but you know the timestamp of the first time they do.
While this may be "what aboutism", I noted that the post sets a cookie on your browser by just visiting the site.

Considering the person is saying how bad it is to have a tracking pixel in email, the site that hoats this article can now do similar things by putting that cookie in your browser
You're ahead of a lot of people in a similar situation as yours, and that's because you have identified what's the problem that is affecting you.

Now, will you b1tch about it for the rest of your life or are you going to find a solution and work to achieve it?
What has worked well for me is to ask questions about non-controversial topics that most people are interested in. A great one is food. I've often told people in other countries (or even here in the US) that I would like to visit their area sometime, and what are some local foods I should try?

This has started some pretty interesting conversations, because who doesn't like food and talking about it? And it shows that I'm interested in their local culture.
Sure it does: https://gobyexample.com/exit

If you mean Go can't read the exit status of a command it runs, that's incorrect as well: https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#pkg-overview
Can I turn off tracking pixels in Gmail?
I wished Google followed the Google model, because I work there.

20% projects are still technically a thing, but not many engineers actually have one.
25x the downtime, so about 10 hours' worth of charges if the downtime was 25 minutes.
Yeah, for example Japan had crazy rate of growth for quite a while after WW2.
All superhuman is doing is giving access the same tech that every company uses to monitor emails sent to individuals. If you don't like it (and you absolutely shouldn't), then don't use superhuman and turn of automatic image downloads in your email client.
Oh god superhuman. What a hype train. Finally got an invite...only to learn they don't support Android? And really, only support entirely Mac-based workflows?

I mean from a baby startup maybe that's reasonable, but in this case, with all the hype, I think not.

My guess is a very well connected founder who was able to get his VC friends to hype the tool, make it elite and club-like, and from there, profit.

I look forward to seeing them go down in flames more than most other elitist, stupid startups around.
If you have 2 million net, why not pay off the mortgage?
I think this misses the points from the original post, the most critical IMO are:

(1) Recipient generally doesn't know they're being tracked. Even in the argument that 'email is catching up to IM', the recipient always knows that read receipts are turned on -- because it is built into the UI.

(2) Recipient doesn't know they're being tracked multiple times, with multiple locations. Again, in that same argument, messenger doesn't tell you the number of times I viewed your message and where I am when I viewed it.

BTW -- you can absolutely turn off read receipts across both Facebook and Twitter.
It's a neat exercise but one I gave up on years ago. Now I avoid the hassle by buying a book and then pirating a copy for my archive.
I have two ways to look at this:

1) I lived in Iraq for a while, and they have free electricity. What happens there is that they have to implement rolling blackouts because when people do have electricity they turn on every appliance, light, tv, ... Having some kind of cost involved helps to limit this type of silly behavior.

2) At some point, someone is paying for electricity even if they don't send me a bill every month. Let's say the government funds free electricity for everyone. As someone who tries to conserve energy, my costs will go up while the guy next door keeps his 3k sq-ft house at 65 degrees all summer pays less than he does now. That does not seem like a good system.
I had the opposite experience once. In the 90s Louis Farrakhan spoke at umass. It was a strange time.

I worked at the college paper and a reporter let me listen to her tape. when listening back he kept getting higher and higher pitched. It finally occurred to me that when recording him batteries where getting lower and lower and the tape was recording slower. When played back at normal speeds.. it never got to “Alvin and the chipmunks” high pitch but.

Not just podcasts. Follow the link provided in GP, it's a mixed-media format (audio, text, images). It seems the "hypothesis" here is about how to present the information. Hypothesize about the format, propose an experiment, see how users react, evaluate how to proceed. It's an application of Scrum project management with multiple prototypes (hypothesis -> prototype) as experiments on how to present the information. It's not about the story's hypothesis (X happened because of Y, oops that's not how the facts pan out).
I think your link is broken. What's the name of the video?
That is really ugly code.
This sort of open tracking with geoIP based location has been around for a while. There are numerous GMail add-ons that provide this functionality eg. Streak there are equivalent's for other clients too.

This is written as if Superhuman are the first people to do this, that doesn't justify the behavior but there are others to blame here and the precedent was set prior to Superhuman's implementation with these email tools
