I am not sure which country you are based on but there are job portals where you can float their resume, you can also go directly to corporate site of a company and submit your resume. Before you apply look at the skill set required, I am sure you would need to work on your java/.Net/PHP skills before applying else you will not be short listed. You can start learning and can show(FAKE) you earlier projects in those languages. If you are based in US, send me a message, i would be happy to help you out.
The Pilatus PC12 single engine turboprop is far more efficient for this sort of mission than a twin engine turbofan jet. This lowers operation and maintenance costs which this airline is passing onto consumers.

I'll offer my take on it, as a recovering software engineer who moved over to the product side. The first thing you have to learn is that nobody works for you--you can't tell anyone what to do. You have to persuade and convince. Both upward to your bosses and across to engineering, marketing, user experience, finance, QA, customer support, ops, everyone. You've got to get them to buy them into taking the product in the direction it needs to go. You have to be the buffer. You've got to shield your team from all the "churn" and "swirl" and indecision coming down from the execs, whilst shielding the execs from the day-to-day chaos, the bug firehose, and software design debates that are always part of major development projects.

And yea, you're seen as much more expendable than the engineers since you're not writing the actual code, so you have to play a little politics (the better the company, the less of that game you have to play). When a bad idea comes down from up top, you have to push back. You can't put all the CEO's product ideas on the fast track, as tempting as it is. Ever since that goddamned Steve Jobs book came out, every senior exec in the Valley thinks they're some kind of product visionary. You've got to have the judgment to marginalize and stall the bad ideas and go all-in on the good ideas--work with engineering to make them awesome.

But once in a while, something's gonna get rammed into the product over your objection, and it's going to suck. You just have to deal with it. Make sure when it's released it "sucks less". Make sure there are analytics all over it so in a few weeks/months you can point to hard numbers showing how much it sucks, and hopefully the product can pivot away from it.
Its not a throw away account. So a better future is lab produced meat? I'm not saying that the current demand for meat is not bad for the environment. All I'm saying is food is something that is best not experimented with. Nothing good has come up with food scientists tinkering with food. We live in an age where food is seen as a combination of nutrients. We keep track of calories, we read a new study everyday about the benefits for this food/that food, each study contradicting the one before it. Surely, the ultimate solution to making food "better, healthier, cheaper, more environmentally-friendly." is a pill, which will have everything that the body needs. right? Thats what all this experimenting will ultimately lead to. Maybe your scientific mind finds artificial meat appealing. Ask you grandmother how she feels about it.
I was in California in 2009 and found it weird that there was no daily train between LA and SF - it only runs (ran?) every second day. The day I left, I had to get a bus to Bakersfield to connect to the train.

The other striking thing was train travel in the South being heavily subsidised - huge distances travelled for not much money, with power for your laptop and lots of space to move around. If the train schedule was appropriate for you, you'd be crazy to fly instead.

Looks like the author only uses one session he calles "work". What I really like about sessions is that it allows for isolated contexts which are easy to switch (prefix-s get prints you a nice list [1]).

Right now I have seven sessions open [1]. Three are work projects (they usually have windows for vim, db console, etc.), two are university courses (vim, matlab), in one session I'm learning some Haskell, and in the last one I'm working on an open source ruby gem. If I had all these windows in one session only, I'd constantly be switching to the wrong windows.

My first thought was this sounds a lot like the "screen" command. Which is basically true, but with the added benefit of screen splitting. Also, tmux is distributed under the BSD license (instead of GPL).

oh for crying out loud. gravity is the only force acting on these objects.. of course they are not going to move. there is no wind or vibration. i guess if some micro meteorrite hit them then that would cause them to be displaced

And the economics of air travel, such as they are, make a round trip flight to Santa Barbara $500 as the 'cheap' fare [1] in coach. If you fly four times a month you save money with this plan.

But the TSA thing is a real pain too. A friend of mine who has his pilots license requires all passengers have at least 16 oz of fluids and a knife with them when they fly :-) We joke but he did point out that if you were in flight 214 trapped under a stuck seatbelt or malfunctioning escape slide with no pocket knife you could have died.

Motorola thought it was going to take over the world. Our company made a desktop environment for Unix so all the vendors would send us their equipment to port to. At one point I counted over 20 different versions of Unix and associated hardware. We even had a Sony Workstation.

The M88K system had big vertically stackable blocks with ribbon cable connectors at the back between the units for power and data. [1] [2] One unit consisted of a tape drive and a floppy drive. The floppy drive was actually SCSI and very fast (over 100kb/s when most floppy drives top out at 25kb/s). I can't imagine how much that drive must have cost.

The system arrived in a massive box and for some bizarre reason they stuffed the empty space with O'Reilly books. There were lots of "read me first" and "read me first" for the read me firsts. I ignored all of them.

About a year later the machine failed. It turned out there was a filter by one of the fans and one of the readme firsts told you to clean it once a month. Eventually the system had overheated and shut down.

We also had a Data General system that used the m88k. They called it the Aviion which was annoying to read and type. The DG folk we dealt with were by far the nicest out of all the vendors. Both the DG system and the Motorola system ran lightly modified SVR4. It was basically Unix of the time, and worked just fine.

The Motorola system ended up acting as the office server for various things because of its high spec. Hold onto your chair - it was blazingly fast at 40MHz, and had a whopping 64MB of memory. At one point we spent a thousand pounds to get a 1GB hard drive and used it as a Usenet server.

Interesting approach. I wonder if having a new logo every day will dilute the impact of their "big reveal"? After all, by day 30, people are going to be used to different versions of the logo.

Also, 99% of people who visit yahoo.com probably won't know what's going on. There's a new logo on the main page, with absolutely no explanation anywhere.

Don't Worry's distortion is breathtaking in the context it's presented. I can see how it would make an impact in the industry. It's quite a unique sound, consistent square wave distortion, verging on not sounding like a guitar any longer. Can't say I've heard anything like it in earlier electric guitar recordings.
Looking at the documentation, it seems shooting photos is exclusively automatic: there's no way to change EV, shutter speed or aperture, which is disappointing. The "educational" bit only extends as far as putting the camera together, once it's complete it's a total black box, like an older cellphone camera.
The "average" rating that Yelp gives a business isn't actually the average. I discovered this accidentally one day. I tried a restaurant with a 4+ rating and hated it. Discovered later that night from the desktop interface that there were "hidden" reviews that I had to explicitly click to see. The reviews were highly unfavourable and their scores were not taken into account into the "average".

Not sure how the business managed to get these reviews "hidden". You could reveal them in the desktop interface but they didn't exist at all through the android app. After all the recent "Yelp mafia" stories, I assume that you can pay yelp to hide reviews?
Nice point! I guess we could posit some trainer-signals amid the mash. A civilisation's technology just has to be advanced enough to work them out...

I used to go jogging in Atherton a few times a week and I always wondered about all the cars getting pulled over. I wanna say in all cases it was a Hispanic driver in an older/beat-up car. Never once in the years I lived here have I seen an "expensive" car getting pulled over.

Looking at https://github.com/django/django/blob/ffcf24c9ce781a7c194ed8... I'm a little confused about how the csrf-token is generally used in Django -- but if I understand the code correctly, it looks for a cookie with the csrf_token, and compares that to a POSTed value (or x-header in case of an Ajax request).

If the system has a decent random-implementation there is no secret involved, just a (pseudo)random string -- essentially a csrf cookie is given the client on one request, and compared on the next request(s).

Is there any reason one couldn't simply use the rotate_token()-function on every (n) request(s)?

I can see why you might come to those conclusions -- a lot of people with their heads down in Hadoop just don't realize that there's a world outside HDFS. Not saying that in a mean way; that's just the way it is. If you're involved in that ecosystem, there's enough to keep up with without researching what others are doing.

1. True enough, but HBase tends to be an afterthought for the datawarehouse-focused Hadoop players. You see this manifest in a bunch of ways, but as just one example: when I evaluated HBase at Rackspace 4 years ago, they were exploring options for secondary indexes. They're still exploring.

2. Yes, you really do have to have expert-level knowledge of the internals to deploy it successfully. And there's a LOT of those internals, by design (hmaster, ZK, regionserver, and close ties to the HDFS infrastructure). Cassandra is much simpler, much easier to deploy and troubleshoot. When Cassandra gets evaluated vs HBase, it tends to win [1], but often HBase is the "default" choice because of "Hey, we already have HDFS" thinking. This is changing as awareness grows of alternatives.

3. I think that's the tunnel vision I mentioned. By any metric I can think of -- conference attendance (over 1100 at the Cassandra Summit in June), IRC activity, StackOverflow participation, jobs advertised -- the Cassandra community is larger and more active than HBase's. Here's a list of some of the users: [2].

Give it a look, I'll be happy to answer questions!

I highly recommend byobu. It acts as a front end to tmux (or screen) and provides some nice functionality like a status bar and various default keybindings that are consistent.
and they would be right - the threat model of the average home isnt one under which having a picture of their keys taken is realistically possible. if a burgler (the most common threat) wants to get in, they don't need a key.

However, when the threat model is one where a more funded organization is attempting to break in, then you need a better system.
I ended up with renting a mansion in Atherton right off of Fair Oaks for dirt cheap for about a year. If you look at the tickets, a lot of them are on the streets around Fair Oaks since that's also a short path to/from Redwood City and the highway.

I would bet a lot of money that the profiling is done based on the type of car you drive and intended to keep people from Redwood City out of Atherton.

I drive an older Civic and my girlfriend drives a really beat up old Civic. We would get followed home down El Camino and Fair Oaks basically every day. To the point that the police learned that our Civics actually belonged in that Atherton block and then stopped following us after a few months. I had friends come over in expensive cars and hang out and not a single one was followed. I asked them specifically to keep an eye on if they were followed because the profiling was so blatant with me. The expensive cars were never followed.

For what it's worth, I think that's what a lot people in Atherton pay their local government for. They don't want people there who don't live in Atherton. You go to Atherton to get away from people, e.g. lots are massive because you don't want to see your neighbors, and there aren't sidewalks or street lights in most of Atherton because they don't want people walking around at night. Because if you're rich and don't want to see your neighbors, why would you walk around at night? Funnily, the train station is right there too and the Caltrain only stops in Atherton on the weekends because they don't want the poor commuters being able to get in or out of Atherton during the week. So it's not surprising that the data shows the community police force is doing exactly what the community pays them to do - keep people who don't live in Atherton out of the city.
