Seriously.. that's not metal. Just because a metal band once made a song that sounded a little like something on that album (when they crossed over to general acceptance) doesn't change the objective FACT that it is a sad version of some prog rock crap from the 70's.

Javascript is not strongly typed. Nothing can change that fact.

Genres in music aren't more complex now. They are becoming more meaningless. When the new set of kids come through and don't understand the historical context and meaning to the way the same term lumped music tone and song structure together, it puts on display how much "music" IS just fashion. Metal implies a certain set of social perceptions that the listener wants to evoke, but the correlation to the music is all gone.

Maybe someone wants to wear the metal coat of armor instead of being labelled a pansy light-alt-rock fan, but that link is more the latter than the former.

So many times, the genres' names sound more like how someone wants to present themselves philosophically vs. what is actually engendered in the production of the sound being labelled. Minimal house, neurofunk, metal, death metal, etc.

And there is no point in ever having another prog band or song. Same with jam bands and songs.

I didn't know that with the git hash. That's a good point! What I like on NPM is that they use JSON for defining the dependencies and that the packages are by default not installed globally. NPM and Bundler are different in some ways, but in general they do both a good job.
The options for wearable computing just keep getting better and better. I'm stoked about a wearable computing hackfest (http://www.hackphx.com) here in Phoenix this weekend at the HeatSync Labs hackerspace.

If you use OpenSSH... you benefit from OpenBSD's work, even if you're not an OpenBSD user.

SSH alone, and all the utilities that use it... have made my work/life SOOOOOO much easier. That may sound silly, but when you don't have to search for some 3rd-party utility because what you need is built-in... it makes life easier.

I'm donating.

Completely agree - look at what is the root problem here.
Getting a higher salary and stay, is just delaying the issue.
Then you have to rent spectrum somehow too. And I would assume the towers are often owned by wireless industry organizations with very... specific ideas about whose equipment is sensible and prudent to put up.
It is incredibly fatiguing. Oh, you were working at a company for two years on technology X? Sorry, we need to hire someone who knows Y which you couldn't because you were working on X. No, I don't care that you could learn it in 3 days, our HR procedure says we can't give you 3 days.

Then I go download some C source code from 15 years ago and it still compiles just fine and I smile a little bit.
Will the browser be OSS? Will the mail app? Message app? Maps app? If the essential apps that constitute a "smart phone" are not open source, at least the defaults, it's really irrelevant.

Not to mention that none of the providers have the code to the baseband.

I could imagine a phone that treats the baseband as an untrusted entity and encapsulates everything running over it. This would require forcing SSL for all HTTP traffic, and using some standard for SMS and Voice encryption that is on by default when the recipient on the other end also has a supported device. For those that do not you're unencrypted SMS would be exposed at many hops even if they smartphone were full OSS and trusted, even to the baseband level. So silo'ing everything where possible is a valid solution with closed basebands.
Because I actually listened to him say it, with the verbal tones that made what he meant clear, and took it as such, especially since this interpretation is entirely consistent with how he's governed.

Look, it doesn't matter a wit how you interpret his words and actions, what matters is how hostile around half the nation finds them. Nothing in my politically aware lifetime, which starts with Nixon's first term (1969-1972), comes even close. I've read that FDR was this bad, don't really know enough about the ones in-between.

I mean, he said just before the 2008 election "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." You don't think that included the social contract???
Glad to see more people share this idea. Personally, I would go even further and separate JS as well, and make PNaCl the standard.
Less opinionated. Supports generics. And meta-programming seems much more advanced. I'm particularly happy to see hygienic macros.
The best advice I've both heard and passed on, when asked about hiring "data scientists", is you want someone who can look at raw data, massage it, and develop their own original opinions and insights about it, preferably derived from a deep understanding of the nuances of statistics and probability and the messy real world. It's the judgement and insight you're primarily looking for. So, hire the best mathematician, statistician, probabilist, economist, or heck biologist, epidemiologist, etc. you can find, and then teach them the vocational tools - hadoop, etc.

There is no "one size fits all" or binary answer to this. It really depends on the individual case. I have seen both (staying vs going) happen to me/family and in either case, it has been good and/or bad.

If you love working at the current place, you have a great relationship with your boss/team and your only issue is money, then a good counter-offer may not be a bad idea. In fact, many times it is the only way to get a raise unfortunately. Consider the alternative. You might be making ok money but you don't like your team/boss/company at all, then do not take the counter offer even if they offer you more. You never know how it will turn out later on.
At 200Square.co.nz we are using web tools and an enlightened approach to sales to improve the real estate sales process.
In short we sell properties, and with much lower costs than all of the old school real estate agencies.

Our key founder combines real estate and Valley backgrounds - as someone mentioned it's really important that we understand the industry we are trying to disrupt.

We have a suite of tools, focus on effective promotion techniques rather than self promoting and wildly expensive newspaper and industry glossies, and sell far more houses per agent than the norm.

We put together a site (watchmystreet.co.nz) that lets people flip the buying search process, but struggle for now accessing what should be openly available data from regional authorities.

Happy to discuss help with expansion or entry into other markets.

A new theoretical attack was published in 2013 that showed that RC4 was still weak in TLS. While the attack was more academic, it did raise questions of what else would be possible.

We often forget that RC4 is a fundamentally broken algorithm.
Functionally, that is what would have been paid by someone else to develop it. It was built in house.

Honestly, us real estate folks are scared of what they don't know. Excel is familiar so converting it to our own software or web platform is not going to happen.

I just figured there would be a solution or service where users could use an excel document in a neutral place where the owner of the document could let people use the functionality of the document without stealing the source. Its like every excel document, once sent to someone else, is functionally open-source.
I'm Chinese American, and I don't agree with your statement that string libraries are Anglophile. How would you encapsulate the 10,000 commonly used Chinese characters? It's just the reality of having a lot of characters in a language. Not much else you can do to speed up processing. How would you design string storage to be faster for a language like Chinese?

English happens to be the lingua franca of Engineering. It's not about brown nosing English-speaking countries, but about getting the widest range of audience.
>For his part, Hurwitz himself resigned from a job at one point. He turned down a counteroffer from his boss. Six months later, he quit his new job. He got his old job back, in part because of his decision to turn down the counteroffer. “The boss told me it was because I hadn’t played games and had acted ethically,” Hurwitz said.

Wot? His company gave him a counteroffer with the attitude that accepting their offer would be unethical?
There's also bitrig, a fork of OpenBSD on not so friendly terms. OpenBSD lost a number of developers when that happened. They don't appear to currently support 88K, and aim to target current architectures, but I wouldn't be surprised if it'd be worth their while to support another architecture to accommodate a developer who would do all the work to maintain that platform, as well as contribute in other areas.
> This statement was made pre-9/11 - an event that changed many things.

Bush surrounded himself with PNAC members before 9/11. All that 9/11 did was give them the opportunity to initiate regime change in Iraq, which they had been calling for ever since PNAC was first formed. Yet he promised "no nation building" while campaigning.

I don't see much difference between Bush and Obama's level of honesty.
Without some proof that it works and that it's really as easy as you say, it's a much harder sell. Try testing it with and without the video and see how many signups you get. You can always do an email drip after you have their address, but you have to get them first! Is it worth losing some percentage of your leads?
I think if you're openly soliciting donations under the premise that they're essential to keeping the project running at all, you can put up with the people you're trying to get money out of asking questions to ensure that the money you're asking for really is as needed as you say it is.

Your comment doesn't make more sense from reading it more often. Saying "because I don't understand how the BSDs work or their development processes, I think they should stop existing to prevent them from having to stop existing" is still nonsensical, no matter how you slice it.
You're probably thinking of the original version of Cap'n Proto's schema parser, which was written in Haskell. The code generation step that it helped to handle is not a part of this benchmark.

As far as I know, nobody has written a Cap'n Proto serialization runtime for Haskell yet.

"Many of the jobs most at risk are lower down the ladder (logistics, haulage), whereas the skills that are least vulnerable to automation (creativity, managerial expertise) tend to be higher up"

Your job vulnerability, I think, is not only a matter of automation. It also a question of "commoditization". If you become a commodity, meaning that, if
* what you do can be well described
* your workflow can be well described
* the tools you use are becoming standard
* there is no real barrier for entering your field.
Then, you'll lose very quickly any bargaining power and your 'salary' or 'margin' will decrease.

Technology, as it progresses, tends to commoditize 'producers', whereas usually 'distributors' are less vulnerable.
A very good description! I wanted to add a few things that I noticed to balance off what you said. For context I did a 2 month internship at a Japanese company near Tokyo ( a major multinational, very very salaryman-oriented). I'm clearly not at informed as you, but I think it will be useful.

1 - Management was very very good. It was a little rigid at times, but everything was well organized and I had no complaints. Some things like bells for the start of the work day, start of lunch, end of lunch... were a little eerie at first, but once you got used to it, it was actually fine.

2 - The company is mother the company is father. You're absolutely right that the company takes care of you. It's sorta like a family - though an awkward family. Awkward in part because you have an employer-employee relationship and also because Japanese people are a little more awkward (especially tech people). Anytime someone is transferred or hired in your division (about once every two weeks) you all go out to drink/dinner/karaoke together. It wasn't anything too crazy, but it was generally a really nice restaurant every time and there was a special company account that pays for it. It never felt like the company was being stingy with you (though we didn't have very top of the line hardware to work on...) One time I had some miscommunication about when I was coming back from a short break and my boss was honestly concerned, some phone calls were made to the hotel etc. etc. They really do care about their employees.

3 - You aren't stuck doing the same job till you die. People are constantly shuttled around internally. I think on average people were moved every two years. If you didn't work hard, you could get transferred to a crappy job. If you did really well, you would have say in where you were transferred. In fact since no one is fired the way they squeeze you out is by constantly reassigning you and giving you crappy positions.

4 – For historic reasons people ended up working insane hours. 12 hours days are the norm for a lot of people... But strangely enough there wasn't any explicit requirement to work that long, and it wasn’t really rewarded. In fact the company was pretty concerned about it and was trying to get people to go home earlier. Wednesdays you were explicitly forbidden from working more than 8 hours. Strangely on the whole people didn't see to be in a rush to go see their families, and to be honest the men didn't seem very close to their families. I only saw one guy who worked 8hrs/day every day. No one gave him shit though

5 - US multinationals are on the scene and are causing major changes. I talked to a girl working a Oracle in Japan and she said that there are many new "hybrid" companies that have elements of US and Japanese management. It seemed that they were very successful. The Japanese management style has a lot of good elements, and the US system has a lot of problems. I could see the right mix being great.

They do have access. Staff must have security clearance, of course. Elected representatives are entitled, by virtue of their office, to classified information. Although there are obvious concerns with keeping information secret here, the alternative would subvert the democratic process.

Having said that, I'm not sure what bureaucratic obstacles the executive branch has put in place to obtaining classified information.
Personally I don't really need more storage unless it is in a really usable format. I have 10TiB in my personal computer for that.
you implement it on the serverside as an API or webapp that you sell as a service.
There are many ways of doing this, for example resolver one, or ethercalc. In the olden days would have probably written a webapp that interfaced with excel directly using the COM APIs, but that went aggainst MSFT's EULA.
This is me, as well. TCL seems wierd and clunky when you come to it from C-derivatives, but once you get used to it, it's possible to write some very elegant code.
This is the direction I steer all my customers these days. Then in the user's account screen I let the user see a list of their device authorizations and they can individually delete those... I really think tokens are the way to go in nearly every case.
Except in my experience, Carwoo doesn't work (and just ends up like what incision said for #1 above).
Look for the who's hiring thread every month. They have a quite a few internships on there. Otherwise network heavily and market yourself to positions you'd like for start-ups either in the states or the ones in Bangalore.
It'd probably also be helpful if you linked your website/github here or a resume so other people could contact you if they thought you'd fit or point you in a better direction.
Yeah, with storage so cheap who needs net neutrality?
You should check out Alan Kay's OOPSLA keynote "The Compute Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKg1hTOQXoY specifically about 20 mintues in where he says that a browser should be exactly what you say here. On the one hand, he was talking about this almost 20 years ago, on the other hand you're in good company because he's a pretty smart guy!

I encourage all developers to watch that talk and do some thinking about the current state of our practice and where we want to go from here.
Absolutely the right approach.

You owe it to yourself and to your employer to be honest with them. If you think you deserve more money, a new manager, a better project, etc. then ask. You shouldn't say you'll leave if you don't get it. You just lay out your reasons and make a simple request.

Also, it's important to start these conversations early. If you want more money and are ready to quit within 1 month if you don't get it, you are asking too late. If you can't stand working for your manager for 1 more day and you haven't told anyone, you're too late.

When you start having these wants, it's important to bring them up. "I'd like to be on track to be promoted within 1 year, how can I do this?" Stay on top of this subject with your manager. If you have problems with your manager, amicably let him know how you two could work better together. Make a few efforts at it. If it doesn't work then you let a higher-up(s) know and leave it to them.

If you're proactive early about what you want from your job then you'll either get what you want or save time finding out that you won't get it. It will also lead to a very easy decision to stay/leave a job.
>It makes sense that you need TS/SSBI and the correct SAP read-in to be inside a given SCIF belonging to a SAP; otherwise one might leave a recording device or otherwise damage the integrity of the SCIF. Plus, the SCIF would need to be cleared of all sensitive materials before you entered.

Infruriating Hog-wash! This security theatre is baloney, and it is the Great Wall, itself .. erected precisely to allow the Security Classes to control their mignons.

SCIF's? Why are they even necessary in the first place, in a society that prides itself on Freedom Dogma?

This is not democracy - this is tyranny!

If a private citizen cannot have a safe conversation with people who represent them, then you do not have representation but total interference. The American Super-Security State has definitely usurped the basic principles of democracy from its true owners.

I wonder if this is a case of OS Darwinism. The fact that it seems to be hanging on by a thread shows most companies are using and contributing to Linux. I have never used OpenBSD so not sure what it overs over Linux as a Unix implementation?
We really ought to suggest that be changed in ES7.
As to Japanese companies leading in innovation and successful business/manufacturing/etc practices, I will defer to those who are more familiar, but I believe a big part of it is rigorous frameworks that look at the situation, take a long (LONG) term view, and methodically remove failure points and find ways to reliably achieve success.

You appear not to realise that SGI hardware contains MIPS CPUs. A large amount of code is shared between these platforms:

http://www.openbsd.org/sgi.html
http://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html
http://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html

A mips32 port would also be very desirable for all those shitty little routers with their ancient Linux kernel, but sadly nobody is working on that at the moment.

So, should the network and firewall OS that many people claim OpenBSD is, slash its support for MIPS devices?
