Wouldnt that be a common sense thing ?

A criminal mind would use the tools available and a gun makes throwing rocks (chunks of lead) at people deadly more often than using your hand.

Look at criminal states, those leaders use armies instead of guns because they have an army available.

Wouldn't that literally mean that as soon as you're successful/make money you're not a punk anymore? I guess you could give it away, but assuming you're not entirely pursuing the cash, what does it matter?

I mean Jello's done ok, right? And I don't think anyone would argue Ian MacKaye or Brett Gurewitz weren't punk and they've got old and made a fair amount of cash...

I'm not sure about the typical demands on the fabric of FE-type codes, but a typical HPC cluster (university or national) is likely to spend much of its time on materials science work using DFT, which requires low latency rather than high bandwidth for short messages. Somewhere under http://archer.ac.uk there are usage statistics as an indication of the workload, though it varies month-to-month.
I think he commented that only because the OP said "even if it may not be the behavior we expect from our elected leaders".
Slack with access to video calls at need.

I've worked remotely for over 8 years at 3 different companies. Two have had some variation of this (Hipchat/Slack + Google Hangout / GoToMeeting or Slack calls) and it works great. We have a daily standup meeting on video and then we can jump on a video call through out the day if we find a need for it.

Otherwise, I have clear focus through out the day - I can choose whether to respond to slack notifications or turn them off and work through them later.
Right, but these don't even sound like ideas, they sound like sequences that fell out of somebody's intro to AI project.
You don't use it to go after the drone, you use it to go after soft targets. It is also a matter of scale and depends upon how the lines get drawn in the conflict. If the scale is just a couple of rednecks, then you aren't looking at an actual use case. Try a couple million rednecks instead.

I mean, your original comment specifically cited a software renderer, and your original objection was that vulkan was overkill, not that it wasn't well supported, so it seems like you're moving the goalposts all over the place but I'll bite.

As someone who does graphics programming, I would not choose OpenGL for new projects. For one thing it's the future: while I only expect Vulkan to become more well supported as time goes on, the opposite is happening with OpenGL (see the state of support on Apple platforms). Also the Vulkan API itself actually makes it easier to target more platforms. Because the OpenGL api takes on more responsibility over how the graphics pipeline is executed, there is actually a lot more variation in behavior across driver implementations than you have with Vulkan. This was one of the biggest headaches of OpenGL development which Vulkan has largely solved.

So if I had to choose between losing some users who are using old hardware verses the headaches of supporting an OpenGL application across platforms, along with the fact that OpenGL is actually getting less support over time, the choice would be easy for me.

It's a moot point anyway since the developer here is already using a high-level compatibility library.
Lol are you seriously comparing cars to guns?

I'm done with Sonos after they removed the ability to play music straight off the phone onto the speakers. The only way now to play music is via a service like Spotify or if you set up an mp3 server via SAMBA.

They keeping cutting features and making their older speakers obsolete. I'm furious as an early adopter of Sonos that they are essentially bricking my older speakers or making them useless for no reason. I can't Airplay to them either because they are older. I can see in the next year or so them completely rendering my speakers useless, which is unethical. I'm done with them.
Secrecy, overclassification, and the the CIA’s hidden history
I don't have direct experience, but I work in video production and have researched building an SDI capture device that would use an FPGA on a PCI card.

There's a lot here:
- VHDL for the FPGA
- DSP algorithm
- A driver for the OS you are building for
- Scopes and measurement devices for the hardware bits

If you tried to do it yourself you'd spend more money and have a bad time. I'd recommend getting an FPGA dev board and start there.

That's assuming they side with the civies and don't rejoin the standing military.

Truth is, we have no idea what a US civil war might look like. There would be military defections as well as citizens joining the government. With no understanding of what the factions would look like, it's difficult to forecast blindly (not that you couldn't make projections based on certain groups leading the antagonists side and how the public at large might react).
I categorically disagree with this. Look at the enormous damage small groups of armed people have imparted on the government even recently. Two delusional guys in Boston shut down the entire city for multiple days and necessitated a state-wide response by blowing up a few pipe bombs, killing a police officer, and going on a car chase. This response cost millions and millions of dollars and resulted in millions of dollars more in lost productivity. The Waco Texas debacle necessitated a huge federal response which we are still feeling the effects of to this day. The Oklahoma City bombing was perpetrated by two guys who didn't even use firearms.

I'm certainly not endorsing any of these actions and I believe the government responses were warranted, but there is a clear history of rebellious armed civilian groups being huge problems for governments.
If Hitler had not done anything, i.e. implemented the so-called null policy, nothing bad would have happened. Feel free to substitute with any other dictator if you want to avoid Godwin's law.
The conduct of the alloed troops in Afghanistan can’t really be called scrupulous. One of the examples in the below link has troops mutilating corpses and collecting severed fingers.

And on the flip side, the Russian troops there were badly equipped and half starved at times too - Boys In Zinc by Svetlana Alexievich is a depressing series of accounts from there.

I did not downvote, I was under the wrong impression that all medium posts are under paywall but I checked now ( https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018834314-Stori... ) and it seems the blogger must opt-in into it, so maybe the downvoters also had same impression as me.

Still weird that some person wants to promote some conference and fine volunteers and puts it under a paywall.

In some countries with modern grids. The grid in the United States (with the exception of most of Texas which is on its own independent grid) however is not and is quite susceptible to this sort of event. Modern hardware that can actually handle this sort of thing is simply largely lacking in the United States as it's far cheaper to repair the occasional failed piece of equipment than to redo the entire grid and the power companies are out to make profits tomorrow not to prepare for "it might happen tomorrow or in 10,000 years" types of events. Even losing a small percentage of the hardware to an event like this could result in blackouts in entire regions and rolling blackouts for quite some time until enough hardware could be replaced.

Worse, a lot of the hardware at that level (those big transformers and the like) are not really kept in surplus and are effectively manufactured to order and sourced outside of the United States. And while that's not a problem for countries that are more modernized, if you took down the grid in the United States the economic and food supply implications would be a global issue.

Similarly, if anything ever happened to GPS the logistics and agricultural industries would topple as they are so incredibly dependent on GPS now it's terrifying.

There have been attempts to modernize it and a plethora of articles exist on the subject, here is a semi-decent one Forbes ran earlier this year

Seantis GmbH | Full-Stack Software Engineer | Lucerne, Switzerland | ONSITE Swiss or EU member-states passport-holders ONLY

We are a small Python shop in the heart of Switzerland. We mainly develop for governmental, NGO, medical, and pharmaceutical clients. We are not a web-agency however. We generally write applications that solve interesting problems and we avoid one-off code.

We have no regular meetings, are family friendly, and try to let people do their work as much as possible. We also control our full stack by developing both front- and backend. Additionally, we configure our own server stack using Puppet and Suitable, our very own Ansible API for humans (https://suitable.readthedocs.io).

If you join us you would be working on OneGov Cloud, our set of open-source web-applications running with our own framework built on Morepath: https://github.com/onegov/onegov-cloud

You would also shape our Linux server infrastructure, with Puppet as configuration language and containers as payload. Don't worry if you don't know Puppet or have not yet worked with containers, you can learn these things on the job.

Also, we don’t do algorithm questions, work samples or any of that. If you’re passionate about your craft and your resumé indicates that you know things, then you’re good. Note that you should at least know basic German.

We have also recently moved into a new office right next to the train station in Lucerne. Unlike other shops we have multiple small offices - no open space!

It looks to me like he ran in to try and protect the police officer that was surrounded on the ground, and didn't fire until he was attacked. I don't know the context around this specific event, but it doesn't look like the "police officer runs in and shoots child protestor" narrative that is being pushed on reddit.
MFI's bankruptcy was just over 10 years ago. Hotpoint are now owned by Indesit who won't honour a warranty from ~8 years ago. And those are just the ones I've experienced myself.

Yeah I 100% agree. I prefer the remote companies that remain agnostic to where you live when they determine salary (which is like all of them except for gitlab). It allows me to do things like move to smaller towns without established tech scenes and save money. Zapier and Duck Duck Go are both like this.
Over simplification. Sometimes very intelligent people can convince themselves and others using very intelligent reasoning. You and I are also likely to do it from time to time, but hopefully in much less important matters. (Like which framework is good for what, which in the grand scheme of things often matters little compared to all the other problems we face.)
for my DO droplet I also changed the ssh port to a silly-high random port and the last time I checked it reduced the amount of nosy bots knocking at the door to zero.
I make social sacrifices by living in a low CoL area in the South so that I may save more of my income. Why would I make monetary sacrifices as well when working remote?
It wasn't that long ago that people seriously debated whether animals were actually conscious or not.
This is absurd. Any chance a rebellious citizenry had armed to the teeth evaporated with standing armies.

Gun owners of the US cling to this ideal even while experiencing the worst spate of mass shootings in its history. There is no solution to this other than disarming.
I still think the Armenian Holocaust was worse than farming. In fact I would go so far as to say every human genocide was worse than farming.

Localize | https://localizejs.com | REMOTE | Full-time | Full-Stack Product Designer

Localize is a platform used by 500+ companies to translate websites and applications into other languages. We're used by companies like Trello to translate their help center (https://help.trello.com/), Tinder to translate their blog (https://blog.gotinder.com/), and RocketMiles to translate their web app (https://www.rocketmiles.com/) - to see our product in action, click any of those links and use the website's language switcher to switch from English to another language.

Localize works by providing a code snippet (similar to the Google Analytics javascript snippet) that our customers add to their website / web app. The Localize snippet pulls in content from the page into the Localize dashboard where our customers login to add translations and manage their content. Localize automatically deploys those translations to the customer's production site.

We're hiring a Product Designer to own & shape the customer experience. You'll oversee new functionality from early concept, to wireframe, to prototype/mockup, to pixel-perfect design and launch. Please get in touch if you're a seasoned product designer with extensive experience designing UI / UX for B2B SaaS products (design portfolio a must). To apply, please see our job posting below or email myself, brandon@localizejs.com, and say hello!

We are a team of ~10 people working fully remote. We are a profitable cashflow-positive company with over 500 customers worldwide. We offer competitive pay, a full benefits package, and a culture with an emphasis on work + life balance.

"By Dawn's Early Light" is a movie with James Earl Jones as "Alice" the general aboard an EC-135 carrying out the "Looking Glass" mission (a 24/7 airborne command and control, now obsoleted) after a surprise attack. Jones' character decides to ram Air Force One to eliminate the hawkish Secretary of the Interior who has assumed the role of President - and thus resolve a deadlock so that the actual President (who has survived, badly wounded and unable to prove his identity to those aboard Air Force One) can countermand US forces and prevent a retaliatory strike which would inevitably cause World War III.

It's made for TV but I thought it did a surprisingly good job. I don't know whether you actually could chase and collide with the plane normally designated Air Force One in an EC-135, but certainly I'd bet on military pilots to give it their best shot if their commander explained the consequences otherwise.

Which police force trains their officers to shoot people in the leg?

My understanding is that, if you need to shoot someone, there’s an immediate threat. You shoot for the largest target, so you won’t miss and so you do the most damage.

If you aim for the leg, you’re likely to miss. Even if you hit the leg, there’s a femoral artery in there. If you hit that person will bleed out in just a few minutes.

Are you saying Sweden and Austria are even cheaper?

If so, that's great and all, but honestly, from an American perspective, EUR15 per month for 3GB of data is a very, very good deal. That's so cheap that I'm not sure I'd care much if another place was even cheaper.

I didn't notice any coverage problems while I was there, but admittedly I was only there 2 weeks, but I did take the trains a lot (but only in Bavaria). I never noticed any problems. I was using O2. I don't think the coverage was perfect all the time, but it's not perfect here in the US either, and I use Verizon which is generally accepted to have the best overall coverage nationwide.

In short, I think Germany has things pretty good from a global perspective, as far as cellphones go. Some other European places may be even better, but I just don't see much to complain about over there, when compared to any place outside of Europe.
Secfi | Software engineer(s) + Operations and Finance | Amsterdam, the Netherlands + San Francisco | EUR 50-150k + equity

Secfi is a VC-backed fintech start-up that helps start-ups and employees better manage equity compensation. We do this by providing shareholders of private companies with liquidity so that they can exercise their options or access capital for personal use. We build technology products that help private company employees make the most of their equity and make more informed decisions. By simplifying their equity compensation, employees can spend more time on things they love doing most. We have offices in Amsterdam and San Francisco.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options. The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/#gif-container

An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal.
Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam engineering team in 2019. We have a variety of engineering vacancies including a VP of engineering, frontend, backend Python and full stack JavaScript engineers: https://www.secfi.com/careers

Questions? Please email careers@secfi.com to get in touch.
