Would be a good thing to suggest to the team, it is the first release of the language, after all.

In the interim, a simple library like underscore is quite succinct:

_.map([1,2,3], n => n * n)

With more library support you could even do infinite lists with something like this:

_.generate(index => 1.0 / index);

I use Two-Factor Authentication across a lot of my accounts. I feel a lot more secure when I can telesign into my account. If you have that option available to you use it, it is worth the time and effort to have the confidence that your account won't get hacked and your personal information isn't up for grabs. If you opt into 2FA, you will have to "Confirm your phone". You would receive a text message with a specific code to be entered into the system. If you don't want to do this every single time, you can designate your smartphone, PC, or tablet as a trusted device and they will allow you to telesign in without the text code. Should an attempt to login from an unrecognized device happen, it would not be allowed.

Hmmm... direct from my experience Apple phased out Airport Utility 5.6 many OS updates ago. I have both 5.6 and 6.1 installed so I can control old firmware Airports as well as new. You shouldn't need any hacks or workarounds. You just need to download the old Airport Utility 5.6. While this had been the situation with the software since at least OS 10.6? I say this, after just setting an old 802.11g Airport Express Last week as well as Airport Express, 802.11n from the same computer running ML without problem.
I think Apple won in much the same way Microsoft won when Windows Vista came out. And much like Microsoft, I have no doubts that Apple will fix its maps app. But I think the damage is already done. Apple is no longer going to be known for being the company that gets every last detail right.
JavaScript is forever stuck in design-by-committee hell, which dooms it long-term. Developers who do nothing but pure JavaScript and don't at least play around with the other options (Dart, TypeScript, Haxe, CoffeeScript, et al) are just going to be hurting themselves long-term.

It is always a bad idea to tie yourself too strongly to any single language.

Technical Co Founder to Join Team: New York. NY
We are looking for a hacker co-founder determined to succeed. You will be competing with Amazon, eBay, and Google - combined. We are inventing the future of e-commerce like no one else and have unchartered, tough problems to solve with a product that is already live.

You will be working with a resourceful team. A relentless hustler with vast connections and who makes incredible things happen, often. A CS PhD who has built large amounts of cool tech, does things with programs that even Lisp does not - and yet still needs help from you in this particular venture.

You are well rounded and frighteningly capable generalist that can tackle anything from Web design and frontend development, to Python on the backend and iOS if need be. We do have a preference for someone fantastic with computer vision, information retrieval, and/or NLP/data-mining, but we wouldn't prefer that over a record of building and releasing cool stuff.

This is an incredible opportunity to be apart of a team that never stops learning, building and iterating to conquer our goals. If you think you are the right fit email laurenashley707@gmail.com with any information you believe best indicates your ability (links to projects, GitHub profile, code samples, resume) but more importantly what is the most impressive thing you have built?

The advantages were never enumerated. Most of the article was spent teaching you how to program ^H^H^H configure the thing.

What are the advantages?

Congrats, that's a great move and I'd think a good decision for Twilio. My product manager came from our Customer Service team and is the best PM I've had. I think you nailed it when saying programmers don't need to be brilliant, but rather "it’s more important that you’re diligent and a methodical problem-solver."
Yes, I agree!
it's hard to work with designers. Especially, online!
I have a theory about this - how you feel about static typing is related to whether you see the compiler as your friend or as your enemy.

If you see the compiler as your friend then you tend to like type checking because it blocks certain bugs and typos. It won't let you run your code until they're fixed. If you see the compiler as your enemy, as a barricade that you need to get past, then you tend to not like static types. The compiler prevents you from seeing your code running immediately.

Obviously there's other benefits to each system but I feel like this is the more "gut reaction."

There's a few benefits to using postgresql for these jobs:

1. Atomic backups. You can backup your jobs at the same time you backup your data. If you need to restore the data and jobs, you get a consistent snapshot.

2. Less moving parts. If all you need is postgresql, that simplifies things tremendously.

3. Transactional job control. You can add jobs inside a transaction and roll them back if needed. You can't do that easily with redis. With activerecord, you have to use after_commit, which has some complications and potential for dataloss.
Yandex launches Chromium-based Web browser with security extras
Order a new screen (ED060SC7 for Kindle 3) and replace it yourself. It's super-easy and there are tutorials for it on the web. I did it recently with my girlfriend's Kindle to her great delight :). It's cheaper than buying new or paying someone to fix it, and then there's also this ego boost :).
In your .muttrc:

auto_view text/html
alternative_order text/plain text text/html

That presents plain text first if it's multiply-encoded, but makes html available.
In your mailcap:

text/html; /path/to/browser '%s'; description=HTML Text; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.html

displays HTML in a browser window for you. mutt launches this when you choose to look at the html version.

But instead, your mailcap could have this:

text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html

which mutt interprets as "filter this through lynx and display it in the terminal" which will solve 98% of your issues. It's fast, too.
I have both in my rc file but I end up using jj 99% of the time. jk does feel pretty fluid though.
You can setup http authentication to your redis instance which provides at least some sort of security. Also, you can lock your servers down to only accept connections from specific IPs (so like your app servers are the only ones allowed access to your Redis server). Those two things combined are a good start for security at the very least.
It's actually even shorter:

names = people.map((p) -> p.name)
This is a great article. I have never heard of this, but it's so true - thanks for the insight.
That is a sweeping condemnation of JavaScript that I've honestly never heard support for. JavaScript has quirks that people don't like, but it can be rather enjoyable to work with.
What about debugging? Thats my biggest problem with coffeescript

How do they map errors thrown in the browser, to TypeScript code? If this has things like classes and such, the relationship isnt always going to be 1:1 and debugging can become a nightmare. Part of what makes javascript so great is how easy it is to debug. All these "superset" languages that compile to javascript fail hard @ debug support usually
Even though you picked the final designer as the winner, how did he know you were actually going to pay him?
Hmm, just playing devil's advocate here but I'll bet that a huge list of successful people topped by the obvious like Gates, Zuckerberg, and even the humble Wozniak have used all of these elements some or most of the time in their development lives :)

Generational differences abound and manifest in management trends as people reach an age of influence. Born in the 50/60's - you're more likely to be a lone-wolf type. Born in the 80's/90's and you probably consider teamwork and connectedness to be instinctual. Not claiming either is correct but certainly projects beyond a certain scale can only be completed by a structured team. Too, those who prefer to work alone are not automatically egomaniacs.
Hi dylanvee, and thanks for Gitris - it's awesome. I got it hooked up in my bash, and I will probably play this a lot. However, I think it would be awesome if you did keep track of stats/scores and made it visible thru gitris.com or what not. Main reason: Bragging Rights. That would be awesome. Thx.
On a tangent, does anyone know anything about the in-browser editor they are using for the playground? It seems really slick. The javascript references something called "monaco" and the directories are all prefixed with "vs".

The code is hosted on their demo site; /Script/vs/editor/editor.main.js appears to be the main js file and has this notice:

I've only started playing with it recently, but I've been doing some heavy stuff and wonder whether the criticism stems from deficiencies in the language (for which there are workarounds within the language) or a fundamental lack of understanding of the javascript model.
It will be marked as experimental for a long time. There isn't a magical point at which it will suddenly be perfect and bug free. That said kernel 3.2 was a major point of stability. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Is_btrfs_stable....

It is integrated with the package manager on Ubuntu already. I just upgraded my laptop to Quantal and part of the upgrade process spotted I was using btrfs and created a snapshot. (It was a complete waste of time as I have automatically created hourly, daily, weekly and monthly snapshots.) Doing regular package updates is very slow with btrfs. This is due to fsync() being called several times per file.

You'll also want Quantal for an updated btrfs-tools package. For example it lets you do scrubbing. You also need it (and kernel 3.3+) to change raid levels after filesystem creation. The Ubuntu 12.04 installer does create and install to btrfs but didn't let you configure things like raid level so you were stuck with whatever it did.

I've been running all my systems on btrfs for several months now on Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2) on both SSD and HDD including using RAID 0, RAID 1, dmcrypt/LUKS, inplace conversion from ext4 and who knows what else. (Across my server, workstation, laptop and HTPC.)

The only problem I have had is when filesystems fill up. I've never lost data but it can be quite frustrating trying to find files to delete (also need to be removed from snapshots), rebalancing etc to get things running smoothly again. The various ways of doing df are mostly a work of fiction.

My data is duplicated to offline backups, Dropbox, multiple systems and git/hg repositories so the failure of any system would be annoying but I'd never lose anything. You should make sure you are in that position first, independent of what filesystems are being used.
What are the most surprisingly useful PHP functions?
"MSN will chiefly aggregate news from sources such as Reuters, a unit of Thomson Reuters Corp, the Associated Press and NBC, but it will also produce its own content, Visse said. He did not say how many journalists the news site would employ."

Hence the problem. Microsoft is not a news organization. It can only become similar to what local television "news" is today, influenced by sponsors and rip/read "journalism" supplied by other sources as they already do.
I am looking forward to when we have fire and forget snapshotting system so that we all have rolling backups. I would also like the send snapshot features they have added recently for keeping multiple drives in sync (I currently use unison, but I think this could be faster/better).

Plus copy on write should be pretty cool (cp becomes as fast as mv), though I could see it allowing me to engage in some suboptimal behaviors of copying tons of stuff and counting on CoW to avoid actual duplication.
Took me a while to work it out too. Really weirdly presented given the audience.

It is primarily talking about Javascript snippets. Google Analytics snippet, Facebook Like button snippet etc.

The developer of this library just gave a talk at JailbreakCon a couple days ago about his work and how it was used in recent 5.x jailbreaks. The talk was recorded, although I admit to not knowing the URL yet (I believe it is un uStream somewhere). (I also gave a talk.)
99 Designs held the money in escrow. I suppose there is no guarantee that he would cooperate with what you want after you had awarded him the competition, but you can withhold the money indefinitely and it worked out fine for us.
Just added a pull request for that
Nice to see you stayed with dev :)
Afar Media | Full Time | San Francisco

Afar Media is a collaborative travel guide as well as a printed travel magazine.
I'm the lead engineer for a three-person team, and we're looking to add a front-end developer. We use Rails 3, Slim and all the attendant technologies (jQuery, CoffeeScript, drinking lots of coffee). Lately, we've been using Ember.js, which is awesome.

I'll paste below our official post, but let me say up front why I think this is a great job.

- We work reasonable hours and we're paid well for our time. (No nebulous promises of worthless equity for infinite hours at the desk.)

- We believe in travel so strongly that we pay you to do it. That is, each employee gets a yearly travel stipend and three weeks vacation to use it. The only caveat is it must be international travel and it must be to a city you've never visited before. (Note: this is an awesome caveat.)

- Live somewhere else in the US? Maybe we could work something out about working remotely transition into working in the office. (Maybe. Tell us what's up. I started working remotely from Chicago before moving to SF.)

---- Begin Official Description ----

AFAR Media is a well-funded travel media start-up spanning print and web. We have big monitors, stand-up desks, and fancy new laptops. Your coworkers will be be developers, designers, project mangers, and (this is the cool part) magazine editors, meaning you'll work with a wider ranger of personalities than the standard developer scrum.

This job is ideal for someone who loves to travel for fun (the position does not require travel, but a fulfilling life does, and one of our great perks is a yearly travel stipend). No arbitrary requirements here, if you are an expert or a least have a hacking willingness to learn and have a good attitude, we want you. Our team is small, and all opinions are considered (and frankly, needed) from product design through delivery.

I was somewhat confused what it was talking about when it referred to tags - it primarily means snippets of Javascript. Things such as your Google Analytics snippet, Facebook Like button snippet etc.
I don't like the way 99 designs structures their contests. The current system makes it incredibly hard for users to find good designers, since they have to wade through so much crap in the first rounds. It seems like the designers have a bunch of pre-made templates into which they insert your company name and then spam the contest with a bunch of off-topic designs that completely miss the point. Instead, each designer who really wants to participate should be given one chance to show off their stuff, instead of many. This would force them to actually do some work on the task at hand instead of just submitting a bunch of mediocre designs and hoping that one of them gets them into the next round.

EU: Apple's 1-year warranty is an exposed false business practice
The European Union claims that Apple is using false business practices with its warranty scheme, since the Cupertino Company advertises and sells its products with only 1-year warranty whereas the EU provision’s laws states that there is at least a 2-year warranty for these types of products.

Delta Airlines has purchased their own oil refinery to get out from under the thumb of speculators like GS and have more control over their own fuel prices. Bravo to them for thinking ahead:

http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/04/12/delta-oil-refinery...
"Apps that display Apps other than your own for purchase or promotion in a manner similar to or confusing with the App Store will be rejected." <- So, sounds like the rather benign goal of keeping developers from impersonating Apple's own payment channel and thereby confusing users into believing they are transacting with Apple and then to send Apple support issues.
