Dimagi is looking for a Software Security Engineer familiar with software security approaches and standards to join our Global Technology team and contribute to our SaaS division. This position will work remotely with our team based in the United States and South Africa.

Our Global Technology team helps to develop and improve our platform’s architecture design for expressing end-to-end system workflows, both at the functional level and the technical level. Since CommCare is used for applications related to many different types of problems, from agricultural extension education to improving delivery outcomes at birth, the software is written as a portable application engine. That means we don’t often build custom code for specific projects.

This position is ideal for a software engineer interested in entering the realm of application and cloud security. This position will also work with our external security firm on security-related compliance issues.
Fun question! If we can, we assign the name that's within the context of the seller you're looking at. So, if the table is called the Kirby Entryway Table at Urban Outfitters, we call it that when you're looking at the table though an Urban Outfitters search. If not, we use the more commonly used name for the product. In this case, that would be the Sauder North Avenue Console Table, which includes the manufacturer / distributor name.
In some cases, there's an equivalent idiom in the native language, and while the scenario may be very different, the underlying similarity is readily apparent.
I think this article is sloppy even by evopsych standards. I could buy that evolution could maybe furnish us with a motivation to help our children marry well, but I think it’s quite another thing to suggest it could furnish a particular conscious opinion on how to do that.
I don't see how this is different than the film stock you shot on, the lens you used, or the format you shot it on.
There is such a thing as a bad idea; this is a bad idea.
Personally I don’t think it’s actually secrecy.

I think it’s that you’re asking the wrong person most of the time.

From my experience, a lot of the times it’s just a few people who really are deciding and everyone else is just part of the meetings and they don’t really care that much.
From what little I know about microarchitecture, this seems extremely impressive. Hopefully these aren't dumb questions:

Are there GPL'd designs for PCIe, USB, etc, that could be used to incorporate this into a SoC design? If not, how much work is that compared to this?

Also, what other kind of technical considerations would be involved to make this into a "real" chip on something like 28nm?
It's not about the money, it's about honor, and what different amounts mean to other people.

I have literally said, "I in no way condone what is happening". Also, please don't start jumping to conclusions that I'm just a parrot of Russian propaganda.

It shocked me that I never considered that I would see an invasion, and let's be frank, a war in Europe.

Of course, I think there should be a halt to the hostilities... but I believe in seeing the world as it is and dealing with that, with a view to work towards what it should be. Sadly, the US and others like the UK, won't risk a NATO/Russian war. That's the only way I see the Ukrainian invasion ending.
How?

Nicely put. I've stressed over finding unused rules, restructuring, etc. but in the end it never matters as long as it displays correctly.
This isn't my experience _at all_.

Until about six months ago, I carried a Fujifilm X-E2. It's an older camera (~2014), and was 16.3 MP. I upgraded to an X-Pro3, which is 26.1MP. Given that the MP stat increases with the square of resolution, that's not a huge change.

My iPhone X has a 12MP camera, the same as the iPhone 13 Pro. The technical resolution _doesn't matter_. It hasn't mattered since the 10MP barrier was breached.

I would prefer the Nikon that I carried in ~2004 to the iPhone 13 Pro for "photography". Note that that is in quotes, because "photography" is very different from "taking pictures". I use my iPhone when I'm with my family most of the time and it's great for that. It's great for documenting activities and "capturing memories". That's not at all the same thing as "photography".

My X-Pro3 can produce excellent images at 12,800 ISO and f/1.4. My iPhone doesn't even tell me what ISO its capable of as far as I know, has a static f/2.4 aperture, and the OS "Camera" app doesn't even let me set shutter speed. It does "does its best".

They aren't comparable tools.
Indeed I would have to apply the same thinking to wildlife. I think humankind needs to set some boundaries about altering the fabric of nature at all, until we are very certain of the implications and reach a consensus on the ethics.
This will allow developers to freely use RGB and HEX colors in the terminal, without having to worry about end-user terminal compatibility and such. It uses some color math, a lot of infrastracture and some magic!
Just took some pictures with my iPhone 13 Pro and it 100% doesn't do this. Not even in Portrait mode.

Maybe there's some way to monkey with it just right.

I think people are confusing low light noise reduction for something else.
It is not slavery. That is a silly exaggeration.

People who have more should pay more so those who barely scrape by (and are looking after the next generation - this is a family) can survive and thrive.

That is not slavery.

I am a little bemused to be writing this.
This quote sums up my Italian experience. The language is so full of phrases which - like everything - are regional, that Google Translate often just gives up.

My favourite is "in bocca al lupo", which roughly translates to "break a leg" - note the lack of verb.

Also that's the current meaning, which changed over the last century.

On top of that I remember three commonly used gestures two of which look the same to the uninitiated eye on photos.

Overall: his eyes red!
don't do this!

typealias Cents = Long
typealias Meters = Long

Cents(3) + Meters(4) = 7L

that's exactly the thing we want to prevent.

the classes shouldn't be for units at all, the type should represent the type of unit.

so instead of a class Seconds you should have a class Duration, instead of class Meters you should have a type Distance. that's because the unit of the different types can be converted between each other.

Dollars and Cents are a bit of a bad example because currencies can't be easily converted between each other, as conversion is dependent on many factors that change over time. meters, yards, feet, lightyears, miles, chain, furlongs, whatever describe a multiple of the same thing though, so a different type for each unit isn't necessary, as the input that was used to create the instance isn' usually needed. the counter example would be datetime with timezones - a datetime with a timezone convers a lot more information than the datetime converted to UTC.
I got you. Yeah, reduced form models will have the issue of disentangling factors. This is why diff-in-diff and synthetic control models are valuable, but identification assumptions have to be clear.
Check some side-by-side comparisons of of same portrait scenes on YouTube.

FP has also benefited from a hype cycle, and FP does improve code in a lot of ways. Making your data immutable makes it easier to reason about, and pure functions prevent surprises. However if your argument is state is bad, and FP avoids state, so that is why it is good, but you encounter a scenario in which state is required, then the benefits of FP start to degrade.

The reality is closer that, state should be immutable, and minimized as much as possible, but at the end of the day, almost every interesting problem requires storing state. Once you reach that point, classes are simply a better solution for state than closures. Especially if your class and its variables are immutable, you get all the benefits I mentioned and none of these tradeoffs. Your state is explicitly stated.
Take into account service fee charged by airport, because landing and refueling cost is not just fuel cost but also bunch of operations by ground personnel.

I think most expensive would still be gaining altitude - but I got down-voted so might be that my understanding of this is not that good.
Quick searching doesn't yield my "why don't you use" - migration cost. Unless a tool is bringing in functions never used before, e.g. Jira to a team where project management was non-existent, otherwise there are at least data , user behaviour, integration and reporting that need to migrate from. That means most of the time it just isn't worth it

If the requirement was truly only to satisfy ADA laws, then it seems like you should have implemented it as:

window.ADA_MIN_FONT_SIZE = 16;

This seems more like you were given the requirement and then went:

1) we could implement this is as a custom global variable for this specific use case

2) maybe what we need is to be able to override a single property

3) maybe what we need is to be able to override a group of properties

4) maybe what we need is to be able to define multiple levels of priority

and they ended up stopping at (2) when we really needed it to go to (4)
Another interesting use of the File System Access API (https://caniuse.com/?search=File%20System%20Access%20API) is:

Yeah let's make electricity free for everyone then! What's that, you don't want taxpayers to be subsidizing the electricity bills of people who can afford it and/or people who are wasting it? Okay, let's make it so you get a certain amount of electricity for free, and if you exceed that you get cut off unless you pay. Oh wait...
What would be a more intuitive term for it?
Yes! Many home decor products and furnishings are also sold at these retailers, and we intend to add them to Spoken as well.
A healthy chunk of the Sumerian texts we have today are training tablets. Scribes would copy these tablets much in the same way we copy sentences today to learn to write today, with more of an emphasis on hand writing. A small sample of the content of these include:

"If a scribe knows only one line, but his handwriting is good, he is indeed a scribe!"

"A scribe whose hand can follow dictation is indeed a scribe!"

"What kind of a scribe is a scribe who does not know Sumerian?"

Sumerian really was the Latin of its day; long after southern Mesopotamia succumbed, the northern Mesopotamian civs like Akkadia and Babylon still wrote Sumerian, much in the same way that medieval England still used Latin.

On the topic of Sumerian translations, there is an unsolved mystery about UD.GAL.NUN text. UD.GAL.NUN is the modern name given to it, with UD meaning normal orthography AN, GAL meaning EN, and NUN for LIL. ("text of God?" enlil was the primary deity) This text is found randomly throughout Sumerian texts, sometimes changing context within a sentence; the practice died out within a few hundred years, maybe even 100. It's meaning and why its there is still debated, with some suggestions that it maybe was a scribal code or the first encryption system. From what I know it has not been cracked because there are no "Rosetta Stones"..yet

(robot voice) Why don't you use MongoDB. MongoDB is web scale. Relational databases don't scale because they use joins and write to disk.

(At the worksite I've been known to say "MongoDB is web scale" in a robot voice to remind coworkers to stop and think about whether Mongo (or any noSQL solution) really is the best choice or whether they chose it due to convention or fashion.)

Well, there's LLDB (https://lldb.llvm.org/) - I've heard it's got some nifty architectural features (e.g. having access to the Clang framework for handling C/C++ expressions).

I've done some minimal poking about in the code; I found its object-orientation a bit hard to grok (just for me personally) but it seemed to be quite uniformly applied so it might well be easier to work with.
A sysadmin analog: When you have $PATH defined globally, but you want to overwrite it for a specific command:

Paraphrasing should, generally, be marked as such or not put in quotes. Otherwise it's misleading, at best, and dishonest, at worst.
I don’t understand the sentiment. If there is a functional requirement that can only be reliably achieved with that hack, doesn’t it suggest that there are other possible functional requirements that can only be reliably achieved with that hack?
i don't think raising rates for other customers is what "eating the cost" means. it's also possible to profit less.

Based on our research, they have very positive customer reviews. (Appliance Connection has 4.5/5 stars on Trust Pilot, where Wayfair has 1.4/5 stars.)

Yes, we couldn't agree more regarding seller comparisons, and on the ability to compare across many dimensions. A way we think about this is that the price you are willing to pay might vary by the experience you expect to have. We have in mind something like Hipmunk's agony index. With a tool like that, users can decide how much more they would pay to avoid a possible bad experience.
You've been able to disable this behavior since like a month after the iPhone 13/13 Pro came out.

It's the auto-macro functionality in the camera settings. The default behavior switches to the ultra-wide below the minimum focus distance of the other two cameras.
Have you peeked into it? What's the implementation like in there? Anything you could replace with an incremental merge instead of a full resort each time?
Is it nobody cares or they care about different things? If you want to be cynical, they care about making money. But could it also be that they're more focused on the general population (who don't care as much about this stuff)?

It's hard to tell for me to be honest, but are we (e.g. HN crowd) just a minority of power users that are in our own echo chamber complaining and making us happy doesn't really move the needle for MSFT?
That and sometimes the connectedness of their tools means that switching to some new technology means opening a massive can of worms. I've moved my company over to M365 but we are going to continue to use Slack rather than Teams due to the sheer amount of bots and integration we have set up in Slack. It's just not worth the time to re-engineer for the marginal benefit.
I believe vision-impaired users would greatly prefer their own TTS, in part because many can listen at 5-10x speed since they're so used to hearing that particular voice.
French is a race?
Indeed. WW1 was the cusp in the decline of German as #2 language in the USA. All the "Spanish bilingualism" you see now: that used to be German before WW1.

The same kind of witch-trial fanaticism made being German or speaking German or having any German cultural traits or celebrations completely verboten as cultural norms.

WW1 also saw the Sedition Act being used against anti-war protesters and conscientious objectors. It's all too familiar comparing that to 911 and now the Ukraine. Same thing. Same lack of rationality. Same overblown propaganda whipping up fanaticism. This when you see the WORST in peoples' behavior!
Thanks for the details on serial memories :-)

Totally agree, if there is such a law - how come now one seems to have heard of it. CSS was written before ADA, so we can rule that out.

Sounds made up
It is _really_ annoying to write the same code repeatedly because the last time was inside some other company, especially when there's no plausible IP involved.
5g forces on impact would imply the projectile stopped at ~50m/s^2 (numerically 5x the gravitational constant) deceleration. In a free fall, it hardly exceeds 1g, unless the aircraft was powering it to hurtle down faster
Your assertion that distributing costs among many customers is a form of slavery seems really disconnected from actual slavery.

Many times, businesses pass costs onto customers for things they don’t use. My college charged me a “sports fee” for games I never went to. My health insurance will charge me my premiums when I don’t get sick. I will share the cost of peaker plants even if I don’t use electricity during peak hours.

If the utility covered some of these costs, people who didn’t like the resulting rate hike could buy solar panels or a generator.

In contrast, the word “slavery” refers to a practice where someone is kidnapped and forced to perform actions (labor, sex acts, etc.), often under the threat of having “the shit beat out of them,” to use a colloquialism.
Any thoughts on the Autofocus method? It seems to have had a heyday I missed about 10-11 years ago with apps made very specific to it kind of being end-of-lifed as of 5+ years ago (sadly), but it looks useful (and not at all culty)
Delivery drivers leaving food on the ground doesn't bother me.

Main complaint I have with app food delivery is that my food is usually delivered to the wrong apartment. I try to be empathetic towards the drivers but this problem has been so consistent for me that I lost my patience and completely avoid apps now. I only order delivery from places where the restaurant actually does the delivery themselves.

The apartment number is obvious, so I can only assume that the drivers' payment structure forces them to be in too much of a hurry to look around a little bit.

Another thing that annoys me is that I believe the food is worse when I order through an app.
In many situations unfairness is a form of injustice.
Took me a bit to realize you are the same account from the last thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30630271)

You have a clear motivated reasoning bias (crypto = bad and useless) paired without understanding the basics of how crypto works.

You don’t have conversations with people, you just ignore details that disagree with your pre-existing conclusion and focus on digressions you think prove your point (typically against a strawman argument I’m not making).

Your submissions betray this bias too. Crypto (and conversation) is more interesting when considering the nuanced bits even if it may disagree with “your side”.

You’re right about one thing though, the evidence is there for people to see.
Sure, and MPEG isn't AV1. Apple was welcome to hop onboard Vulkan. My point is:

Apple's involvement with OpenGL for decades didn't mean they wouldn't abandon it and roll their own.

What classes vs function have to do with OOP vs Functional??
It's not inevitable. I love Svelte partly because it solves the problem by compartmentalizing CSS to the UI component I'm working on. It feels natural that if I write CSS in a file for a component it shouldn't be seen by other components in general.
Ask HN: Best browser for webdev on low end (linux) device?

I think the point of this article is that this "humanitarian middle ground" is not really that humanitarian in practice.
> As a matter of interest, have you managed to get a satisfactory Rust/LSP/Rust-Analyzer/Cargo setup running with your Kate install?

Never tried. Like I said, Kate is my "dumb desktop editor". For coding I'm currently using VSC (and have still an IntelliJ install around, in case of).

The AppImage size of Kate is just crazy! Didn't know. That's also not really acceptable. The package version is only 7 MB uncompressed… (And all the libs are shared as I'm using KDE anyway).

Regarding the UX: Maybe I'm just lazy but I'm not keen on learning and remembering different details in how applications work. The "feel" in the 'look & feel' of an app is the most important thing. But as people here mentioned Lapce does not even handle clicks in an "usual" way. A native file dialog is just the tip of the things that should feel "native", imho.
Heh, go figure. And my original question here is downvoted enough here to be sufficiently invisible.

I don’t have sufficient karma to unflag your post, but I appreciate the pointer; it at least makes for good reading.
What did you figure out as a solution?

I've previously configured `/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern` to generate core dumps by default (and not pipe them to a core dump collection program, which may be useful for error reporting but is rarely what I want).

There's also `gcore` for doing on-demand core dumps.

I wish it were possible to configure core dump behaviour per-process (or something similar).
I worked for Myricom 2001->2013, and Google 2013->2015. And, wow, I wish I could comment on this thread.. :)

You're thinking of resistive electric heat, a baseboard-style system.

But in many areas an electric heat pump is common. This is a forced-air system, and controlled by zoned thermostats just like traditional gas or oil heat.

That said, such heat pumps actually have multiple states:

* Cooling

* Off

* Heating

* Emergency heat (aka Aux heat)

That last one happens when the ambient temperature is so low that the heat pump can't scavenge enough heat, and needs to augment with resistive heat (which happens through the same forced air delivery). Thus, in extreme cold you may be using even more electricity than you normally would.

I live near Austin. The only time I've seen the Aux Heat in use was during last year's February freeze, which at 6F was the lowest temperature ever recorded here. Even at the occasional 13F-15F temperatures, the heat pump still operates normally (albeit it at very long cycles).
