Hey everyone, I'm Dom, the guy who came up with Impetus and wrote that thing. Just saw this post blow up and figured I could chime in, so feel free to ask more specific questions I could answer!
I've moved numpad to the left instead:

What is that with family members going on linkedIn? My aunt is a retired teacher and she went on linkedIn under a (religious) pseudonym and tried to connect to me.
And I also got endorsed by a university professor who never taught me (but we knew each other a bit) about ruby on rail that was not yet created when I was a student.
I'm about to call bullshit on professional social networks (yeah, because each country has it's favorite moreover, so I'm stuck with viadeo, linkedIn and Xing), I never got a job or recruited through that, and they are just annoying with alert e-mail.
Everything a Competent iOS 7 Developer Needs to Know [Graphic]
128GB cards are widely available.
The spec is good for up to 2TB, so it is only a matter of time. Meanwhile carrying a couple of extra cards tucked into the case of the phone is basically no effort at all.

Funnily enough, I completely disagree with the author's preference of the Chrome hardware over the Apple hardware.

The Apple hardware fits neatly into my entertainment center. It's small, the light is unobtrusive, and the power cord is a cord, rather than a brick. The ethernet cable gives me a solid, reliable connection.

The Chromecast, however, has a much brighter light. It flashes incessantly when it can't connect properly, which it can't when plugged in behind my receiver. (It also would have been completely useless in my old condo, where the 2.4 Ghz range was so crowded as to be unusable.) So then it goes back behind the TV, where the included extension is too short to properly flex 90 degrees. The USB power either sticks out from the side of the TV, or is yet something else to fish down to the power strip, far away from the wall-mounted television.

Don't get me wrong - I really like the $35 device. It's going to be great next time I travel; I'll bring it rather than the HDMI dongle for my tablet for before-bed Netflix viewing. But the author's negative points about the AppleTV are easily resolved by a $3 HDMI cable from Monoprice.
I can... I will start doing that and let you know what I see
Is there any reason that the ultimate price for these services won't approach $0? They're not actually providing promotion, right? That seems like the only real value they could really provide.
Obama’s NSA review board proving the cynics right
If they really don't have centralized build farms they're NUTS. Seriously? It isn't just buying you horsepower, either; it's buying you an identical build environment every time, done right at least. It guarantees there isn't some weirdness about a developer's workstation where it builds right there and not anywhere else.
Yeah I guess I wasn't thinking about this clearly enough. Equity crowdfunding doesn't really seem to have much of an issue since investors aren't really promised anything tangible other than some possible return. My general aversion to non-equity crowdfunding (is there a name for this) like Kickstarter is that sure, you get cash in the bank, but you now have a massive hidden liability on your balance sheet: an angry mob who will post horrible screeds on the Internet about you if you don't execute perfectly.
This is an actual working example, not theory on how to do it. IMO, that's what makes it significant. Lot's of people talk about how this can be done, few show actual working examples (with source code) that others can re-create on their networks.
Money laundering has two parts. Obscuring the money, and making the money look legitimate.

If you are dealing with cash, the first is more or less done for you (though if you are dealing with counterfeit cash, you still need to worry about the first).

Mixers do the first and don't advertise themselves as services for the second. Mixers basically put you in the same position as organized crime is traditionally in before laundering, lots of cash that isn't really tied with a crime, but has no good reason to be in your possession.
I really appreciate that he didn't bend the rules to relaunch the game after the server issue. He probably could have justified it but it wouldn't have been true to the essence of the game.
Thanks for this post. It's very difficult to keep up with all the stuff going on in the DevOps world right now and figure out what goes together, what competes with each other, and when there's overlap.

I feel like we need some sort of standard nomenclature or diagrams for explaining different pieces of complex software systems. Reading through pages and pages of documentation to make decisions about what to use is too time-consuming.

Anybody have thoughts on this?
Oops, it should read centikelvin. Fixed! Thanks.
I just subscribed, but I think that if your video was 2 minutes shorter you would get many more people to sign up!
Thanks for the info! That's certainly their prerogative, and as long as they provide good content it shouldn't matter too much I guess (it's easy enough for me to fix on my end).
I met Josh once. He's a really sharp guy whose opinions are worth seriously considering. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I personally am a believer in equity crowdfunding - I think it's a natural extension of the stock market to smaller scale. But he raises some good points.
After I create my palette, I want to be able to copy the #NNNNNN for each color without resorting to trickery.
With the correct versioning, you can sort the guarantees out - there is some discussion on the docker forum at the moment on signing / hashing or otherwise verifying the images.

For slotted services, I suggest looking at nix and nixos, a package manager (and a distribution) which pinches some ideas from containers.

As for the main point of your comment:

Yes, native package management is lighter-weight than containers (which is lighter than vms, which is lighter than seperate physical machines). Perhaps unsurprisingly, that weight brings additional features. The main one that containers (upwards) adds is segregation. apt (lovely as it is) can only ensure packages don't conflict on the files that they install - you are on your own for ensuring there are no runtime conflicts. Yes, with proper user creation + management you can restrict their ability to tread on each other's toes (hope there are no setuid programs in there), but that is all more effort than the 'their filesystems are seperate' that the heavier options give you.

There is also the question of tidying up / migrating. Let's say I install number of packages for some thing I'm deploying on a box. After a while I realise the load is too high and decide to migrate one/some of the apps to another machine. apt, etc can tell me what files a package has installed. It can't tell me what files a package has created while running. I'll have to go around and figure out the data (config, user config, log, etc) file locations and probably miss a couple and end up just duplicating the original machine. Or I copy the container file and the half a dozen images that make it up.

It's true that docker (and to a lesser extent vagrant et al) are perhaps suffering from over-use as the are 'the new hotness', but that's because we have a new tool and haven't yet fully figured out how to use it - it's somewhat inevitable behaviour. And yes, for some applications package management is fine and containers is unneeded overhead. But for others it isn't.
When we compare it to RTMA, we leave out RTMA from the list of data sources. Likewise, eventually I'd like to do the same with a subset of the ground stations we use.

(The problem with finding completely independent measurements is that we'd want to use them as an input!)

jdileo: I think you have to make a new account
This seems really smart. It would be fun if the author could post some metrics here. I'd be really curious if you guys ran a split test of audio vs text feedback to see how the numbers change. It seems obvious this will lower the barrier for many people to leave feedback. If you have hard numbers on this that are convincing, they should definitely be front-and-center on your website.

One potential concern is that spoken feedback on the whole will be less precise and clear than written feedback. In general though I've found feedback from users is generally pretty poor on the signal to noise ratio anyway, giving only broad strokes of where problems are, so this might not matter. As a fun bonus with audio feedback you can pick up their tone of voice to gauge just how pissed off and frustrated they really are!
Understandable. Still, great concept! This is definitely the future of hiring and a great way to attract talent.
Syria: Drop medicines, not bombs
This isn't news.
Cofounder of Wefunder here. I disagree with the author. He makes a few assumptions that I believe to be false and makes a strong conclusion that crowdinvesting as a whole is doomed to low quality startups.

Some points of disagreement:

- Startups choose either crowd-funding -or- VC. It's not VC or crowd. Nor is it angel or crowd. High quality startups can raise traditional seed rounds and allocate a slice of that round for a crowd of investors. One example is Zenefits (YC W13), which is an awesome company that's kicking ass (IMO). They raised part of their round on Wefunder even though they had tons of investor interest after Demo Day.

- The author assumes the investor selection will be inherently poor with crowd-funding. I disagree with this, too. The universe of great investors isn't a subset of investors active enough to angel invest. Imagine being an API company and having 50 developer-investors.

Plus, crowdinvesting platforms allow investors to invest smaller amounts in many companies. Imagine investing $5k in 20 of your favorite YC companies. Good luck trying to get one-on-one meetings for $5k checks. Especially if you don't live in San Francisco.

- The author assumes that raising from a crowd means you'll have to wrangle thousands of investors. It doesn't have to be that way, especially with the common practice of using LLCs to group many small investors into one item on your cap table.

- I do agree with the author that too much adverse selection can create a marketplace for lemons. I worry about that all the time. However I think we do a pretty good job of mitigating that.

There will absolutely be a lot of mediocre crowdinvesting platforms and companies trying to raise on them, but it doesn't mean the whole industry is doomed. I encourage the author to check us out in a month once the general solicitation ban is lifted and reconsider his view of crowdfunding as an asset class. :)
When Javascript fails...
But maybe they're a VC because they think VC works best, rather than thinking VC works best because they're a VC. It's the classic regulatory-capture problem: the people most well-informed about how things work in an industry are precisely the people incentivized to spin how things work one way or another, so you can't take them at their word, but neither can you just ignore them.
Note that that is for containers (i.e. guests). For the host side, only ubuntu is officially supported; many people are using arch quite well, and a few have got it running under fedora and suse that I know of (I'm going to assume gentoo have it as well, knowing them). both require custom kernels however.

Are you sure users are comfortable actually speaking out loud?

I feel there's some kind of "sound barrier": we're used to typing and swiping and rotating but we rarely get to talk without immediate feedback...

On Flextel you can set 0871 numbers up to an auto-attendant menu, which means that robot auto-diallers just hang up, but real people can get through.

They don't pay as much money though, but some 0871 numbers are free.

I think you can also set a divert on anonymous caller (number withheld)

You might be able to set two numbers to transfer to each other endlessly, unless the right pair of menu numbers is pressed.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but Dan Kaminsky additionally wrote an implementation called ozymandns in 2005 or so:

http://dnstunnel.de/

I use it when I need an ssh or web connection in extremely hostile environments that only allow free DNS queries out, like some planes, buses, establishments, etc.

There are also links to other implementations here: http://en.cship.org/wiki/OzymanDNS
I'm not sure I understand your criticism here, care to elaborate?

ARM Holdings. From Wikipedia:

Unlike other microprocessor corporations such as AMD, Intel, Freescale (formerly Motorola) and Renesas (formerly Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric),[28] ARM only licenses its technology as intellectual property (IP), rather than manufacturing its own CPUs.
Well if I cannot find work, I'll keep working on side projects until I can find work.
You are aware that H.264 is not a free codec? The author above intended to say free (as in liberated), and said "open source".
Tangentially on topic: I am surprised that Kickstarter doesn't have a way for members to sign-up for updates of various kinds. I am almost exclusively interested in technology projects. I would love to get daily emails featuring new tech projects. No such thing exists. I don't visit Kickstarter every day. What's ends-up happening is that I sometimes miss out on really interesting projects because I don't know they existed. Some of the most interesting ones I've discovered through HN and other sources but not KS.

I imagine they are missing out on a pile of revenue by not establishing a good connection with members.

"But a smart recruiter would realize that some measurable chunk of endorsements are selected by people who have no clue as to your skill set or level of ability in that particular area"

I don't use LinkedIn to do keyword searches really, but if you're into that sort of thing, I imagine that having tagged profiles is still much more useful than not having them.

Presumably, if you're a typical recruiter, you'll combine a keyword search with a list of schools or companies that your clients agree are a good proxy for aptitude.

Or you'll do a bit of manual pruning, blast some subset of the search results, and see what sticks.
Why Wal-Mart Will Never Pay Like Costco
From our pseudo-scientific testing, we got ~5x voice feedback over email feedback. We're still early in the process, so we don't have any rock-solid numbers.

One advantage we found from spoken feedback is that on mobile, people tend to be unwilling to type out a very detailed report, whereas that same level of detail is pretty fast to say.

And yeah — you can definitely tell how happy (or unhappy) they are with the product :)
I'm definitely not. Most places I'm using my mobile device, rather than a Real Computer, are because I'm in some public setting: on the street, in a restaurant, on a bus. Not good places to record a monologue.
you can log off actually, it's buried deep within the hangouts settings menu. still supremely inconvenient though

Alright, I'll bite. First off, as I said above, plenty of objectively bad organizations like patent trolls and organized crime provide employment for some people, but that is not a reason to support them. You claimed that that was not your argument, but now you're bringing it up again.

Since you seem unwilling to do any research yourself (while asking a great deal of me for basically a throwaway comment), here are some facts:

1. In 2010, 'advertising mail' (in which junk mail is included) constituted $17 billion in revenue for the USPS, as opposed to $34 billion from first class mail. Direct mail advertising does provide a lot of revenue for the USPS, but not a dominant amount.

2. 44 percent of junk mail is thrown away unopened, and junk mail produces 5.8 million tons of waste in landfills annually.

3. I can't find any statistics or junk mail approval rating, likely because anyone who proposed such a study would get laughed at for trying to answer such an obvious question. I'm not sure what you want me to say here (I'm definitely not going to conduct the survey), but I think that based on the existence of things like spam filters, do not contact lists, and this entire thread that junk mail is not something most people appreciate receiving.

You seem to be arguing in favor of junk mail, because it generates money for certain businesses, including so far, the USPS, other mail delivery services, paper companies, the printing industry, and corporations which use direct mail advertising campaigns. I posit that junk mail is not a good thing, because it harms the environment, consuming over 100 million trees per year in the US alone and contributing to landfills. In addition, it annoys the vast majority of its recipients (even you admitted a successful advertising campaign will convert only a few percentage points of users above). Finally, the industries which you have named are not dependent on junk mail for their survival; even the USPS receives at most a third of annual revenue from the practice, and as I (and several others in the thread) have said, we would be willing to pay more in exchange for a halt to junk mail delivery.

If you have another argument to offer than supporting industry, please share it. Otherwise, I'm finished with this thread; if we're stuck on the basic point 'spam is bad,' we're never going to reach agreement.

Edit: I forgot to include my (admittedly found via random Googling) sources.

Would this work after caching? I suppose you could hash the data so the "hostnames" are different each time, forcing an auth lookup.
Difficult to do that if you have the MSDN access and they don't. It would be piracy to give them access to your MSDN Windows 8.1 RTM when they only have the 8.1 Preview the public gets. Yet still they would have to wait until October to download the 8.1 update. I remember having issues with other Microsoft products like this going way back when since before the 21st century. Microsoft never learned from this and it puts software makers in a big jam before the RTM becomes public.

No, it does not affect the view-flow of 0.0004% of users. The actual number of users affected is not stated and cannot be inferred from the data given.

My point is that sure, sometimes you must alienate users. But good product management requires you to minimize that number, and the size of the pain. That's just good business.
Am I missing something? Who is Rich and why do I want to work for him?
You don't need to know git or cocoapods. In fact I had to just look up cocoapods as I've never heard of it. It seems it uses Ruby, which explains why I've never heard of it, as I don't use Ruby. I guess I'm incompetent (or perhaps just not cool :)
Those examples tunnel traffic over DNS. They do not specifically break large files up into small chunks and exfiltrate them off of a secure network with simple DNS queries.
+1 for Split testing Audio vs Text.

My personal opinion is that text feedback would better for a development team to understand and work on.

If it is to be added to a popular app, you may notice a lot of noise and by noise, I don't mean audio noise :-)
That's very interesting.

I've seen lots of toll fraud at my work. Often a VoIP device like an Asterisk server or a VoIP phone will be compromised and used to send calls to a premium rate number, usually at a very high call rate. This is their downside, they're exploited by people who want to make a quick buck. And carriers are forced to pay them because they have contracts with their toll trunk providers that all calls sent through those trunks are legitimate calls.

jdee, have you ever had any success prosecuting anyone committing fraud? Wonder if that's even possible.
I think he means if it says "your flight" it could also say "your name."
But if you already have the phone with you, might as well use the phone itself instead of adding another card.

Transparent Utility Box Painted by Mona Caron
Though I'm not a genius, I relate to this article very strongly from an athletic standpoint, and somewhat from a work standpoint.

Sadly, in the end, the author didn't write about how he learned to start working hard, and in some ways, it sounds like he hasn't changed much.

I'm starting meditation to hopefully help me to focus more at work, but how does one learn a work ethic late in life. I've been successful at times, and I'm tenacious when I get into things, but when things aren't that interesting, I just cruise along.
I suspect it's just the standard (for the time) term in Russian for what would be called a deployment manual and/or service manual in English. I've worked with old French documents titled "Manuel d'exploitation" that are essentially how to make the device/software work in production (installation/in use/maintenance).
Django Round-Up #7
"Your flight" refers to the holder with a 2nd-person pronoun whereas "Passenger Name" refers to them in the 3rd-person. So maybe "Your name" (sounds weird) or "Passenger flight" (label may be too long for the field beneath it?).

I don't see this as a huge issue. I would change the labels to simply "Flight" and "Passenger"
At the same time, the thing in your hand is also a phone.
Having done a lot of real-time programming myself, it's really in the eye of the beholder. And there are snobs who think that nothing less than several kilohertz is real-time.

But historically, "real-time" means "not batch mode" - where batch jobs are executed whenever there are available resources, in an unpredictable manner.

Real-time is responding to real world input on some periodic schedule that is appropriate. In this case, one hour sounds fine for a world temperature map. Are you expecting to make minute-to-minute decisions based on the global temperature distribution?

Local temperature I'd expect to be updated faster, but really it's a matter of your use-case.
I approve of this :)
Interesting.

Im curious, Are you also getting blank audio files?
We're also working on offering transcription, so the devs can pick whether they want audio or text.
