Here's one instance: he donated money to prevent people from getting married due to their sexual identity.

For some reason denying gays their equal rights is somehow ok as long as the person is not foaming at the mouth, and if they're refusing to be open-minded about their religious beliefs. I don't get it.
I hope someone takes the time to answer or at least speculate the answers to your questions. The task does seem really important in the analysis.
SEEKING WORK - London, UK or REMOTE

Hey I'm Diego, an italian Interaction/UX designer based in London.

I am a fast and reliable designer with rapid prototyping skills (html, css, js), can use a bunch of tools (Axure, Photoshop, etc), great in working with dev teams (kanban, scrum, not a problem).
Worked with different web-apps, iOS/Android mobile app and desktop software.

Can help you improve a feature, or design a new product from scratch.

Speak English, please.
So you believe that fundamental rights should be subjected to majority vote? Or perhaps you believe that equality of all persons before the law is not actually a necessary component of a free society?

Not in the least. If you had read and comprehended my initial posting you would realize I propose something of a compromise. We divorce the legal and economic portions of marriage from marriage itself. Couples don't get a "Marriage License" - they get a contract that they sign that grants them the legal and economic protections, rights, etc. and no more. If they want to hold some ceremony or attach any sort of significance to the event, let them. That is up to them.

Among the people I've ever spoken with, having a divorced concept of religious marriage and a legal coupling of people seems to be enough. For those that still oppose it? Well fuck 'em.

To return to the original point at hand. It is entire speculation of Mr. Eich's intentions. We haven't seen him crusade against "the gays", just oppose "gay marriage" - We don't know what his intentions. No one except for him and perhaps those close to him know. I'm simply offering a reasonable theory as to why he may have offered support to Proposition 8 in response to the theory that he, fundamentally, wishes to strip people of their rights.

If Eich wanted to attack gay people and strip them of their rights, well then Proposition 8 was the right vehicle for that attack. However it might well be the case that Proposition 8 offered an imperfect chance for him to preserve what he felt was an attack on a religious belief of his. Call the attack on rights collateral damage at that point.

By drawing the entire issue into a summary of Prop 8 itself and attempting to only focus upon that you are implying that his motivation is an attack upon others' rights. I am simply putting forth a counter-theory to that claim. Call it playing devil's advocate if you will. I just see it as attempting to give everyone a fair shake in what otherwise looks like an attempt to characterize someone you do not know based on a single point of data.
Facebook's Hack: Can it escape PHP's fractal of bad design?
For the people that wrote Moonshine, it was the ability to use the same language across all platforms[1]. They already have a lot of Lua code on other platforms that was unable to run on the web (without using Flash, which also has a Lua VM available for it).

Lua is very portable, I wouldn't choose Javascript to replace it for multi-platform game development. However Javascript has a monopoly on the web. I don't see why this ought to be.

Engine Yard - Fulltime, REMOTE

Frontend Engineer

We're one of the oldest PaaS's out there, with support for PHP/Ruby/Java/node.js and both AWS and Azure. Earlier this year we launched a brand new user experience from the ground-up -- a new website and a completely new client-side interface. As a Frontend Engineer, you'd be working primarily on the latter.

The UI is written using angular.js served up by a lightweight node.js api proxy server. We use mocha/selenium web driver for our tests and only accept green builds via travis to be merged to master. Through our "eybot" on slackhq, we deploy stable code to production multiple times a day.

The UX engineering team at Engine Yard consists of 3 UI designers and 4 engineers (including myself). We're spread out across 8 timezones (Dublin through San Francisco), so experience working in a distributed team is key.

You'll get:

* Competitive salary
* Full medical, dental and vision benefits
* 25 paid days off per year
* 401(k)
* We take care of your phone bill
* Paid travel to conferences

Must haves:

* A passion for writing great software to solve real problems for real people
* Demonstrated experience building complex client-side applications in
JavaScript, preferably with angular.js
* Experience working in a distributed team
* The strong belief that a feature isn't finished until it's tested and, where
appropriate, documented
* A fantastic sense of sarcasm
* Ability to travel occasionally (at least once or twice a year)
* Somewhere between UTC and UTC-8

Great to have:

* Thorough understanding of git
* Experience building REST apis
* Experience with multiple languages (and an understanding of their tradeoffs)
* Previously worked at a startup

If you're interested, shoot me your info at cewing@engineyard.com.
Do what you want. The nice thing about writing a managed language with GC in a managed language with GC, is that you don't have to write the GC. (Or the JIT, if you do it right.)

If you want to change the way we do hotels, please send a short note to charles@keypr.com and tell us one thing you'd change. Please include links to your code or any relevant work (GitHub, App Store, etc.)

Cheers!
As a thought experiment, packing up the whole of a website is a good upper bound. If we were doing this for real, we could further aggressively trim, taking advantage of the fact that content utility tends to follow a power law rather than a uniform distribution. For instance, take stack overflow; plink everything with a negative point score. Plink everything with no replies and no votes. Plink everything that has a reply with more than, say, 5x the points (i.e., if there's a 100 point reply and a 4 point reply, plink the four-point reply). Plink entire sites/tags that are unlikely to be useful (no Python software on the mission? No Python interpreter shipped? Remove all Python questions). For Wikipedia, remove all information about localities that have either less than 5KB of text or 10,000 people. Spend some time hitting the "random" button on Wikipedia and you can get a sense of how much of Wikipedia does not need to be sent into space. Remove vast swathes of the catalog of each species on Earth... I doubt a Martian settler is going to have a compelling reason to suddenly look up a cricket particular to northern Utah. And so on.

You could probably cut all those estimates down by 90%, with very little loss observable to the users. It wouldn't be zero loss, but use the savings to stuff other useful stuff in there instead, such as redundant copies to ensure we don't lose anything.
Not doing very well at that I see. :)

Do you publish that you have a Coinbase account? That's the issue. Now these people are valuable targets for spear phishing and other attacks on their e-mail accounts because it's known that they have hot access to at least some amount of Bitcoin. Without that information, an attacker is shooting blind.

So, this sort of leak or enumeration basically reduces the (though tenuous) degree of security afforded by one's privacy.

Prop 8 is trying to enforce those beliefs on those who believe differently. That's where the problem comes in.

All laws enforce the beliefs of the lawmakers on those who believe differently.

Much like homosexuality, consuming marijuana, drugs not approved by the FDA, failing to purchase health insurance, and paying below minimum wage all fall into the category of acts that don't hurt another. Do you oppose all such laws?
Hence, there are high value opportunities in JS as a compilation target/runtime platform.

Interesting question. Not sure we'll ever be able to determine an answer - I think there's too many variables at play, but it probably makes a difference for some people. I'm thinking here of something like "PHP is easier to work with in situations where there's more regular interruptions, because you can write smaller/simpler chunked code, whereas C# is easier to work with in situations with private/isolated offices with regularly scheduled collaboration". That's sort of where you're going, right? (Swap php/c# with whatever your theory is - those were random choices on my part).
AFAIK Silverlight is only required admin the legacy share cache service, which has been end-of-lifed (hence the reluctance to spend the effort needed to support it in the web-based portal). They recently announced that they would keep the Silverlight legacy portal around for a bit longer do give people more time to move away from the shared cache service.

I use Azure every day and I haven't needed to touch the Silverlight portal in months.

As someone who works in an open floor plan (and basically hates it) this proposal only works when your workforce is younger. No matter how unproductive the office gets for me, it's going to be more productive than staying home with three munchkins running around.
I agree completely with you. I am from a country that does not "celebrate" April Fool's day. Today it is a really bad day for my usual internet news pages because they are infested with lame joke attempts.
It's amazing how much you guys are ripping apart a CEO who did something, what, 6 years ago at this point? Wasn't there a shit storm when this happened this first time? I guess I'm not sure why people are giving him flak again. It's unfortunate that the first time, he tied it to himself & Mozilla the organization; that sets a worse tone than him becoming CEO.

He doesn't hate you, he just put his money where his mouth was at the time & was probably trying to get support for Mozilla in other avenues.

Nowhere has anyone said how he treats said people in the organization. Is he condescending? Is he a jerk? If not, move on with your life. Don't quit your job & wimp out because you don't understand that people can change.

> The concept of marriage is a political concept.

No. The concept of marriage in this context is a civil and legal one. It's used for politicking, but its core is a tripartite contract granting specific legal statuses before the state apparatus, and a number of civil statuses following from the legal one.

Now you may want to argue that this should not exist, but that point of view's not exactly relevant when the starting point is not somebody fighting to end civil marriage but fighting to remove access to civil marriage for a specific minority.

> Now, on the other hand, The First Amendment. Is actually a fundamental cornerstone of the Constitution. And it takes primacy here.

Except it does not actually apply:

* people don't object to him being bigoted and hateful they object to him being CEO of Mozilla as a bigoted and hateful person

* free speech is not freedom from judgement of your peers following said speech

* the first amendment does not apply to individuals, nobody's trying to involve the state here

Yes, it's OK to have opinions about people, to express those opinions, and to choose whether or not to associate with any organisation you choose for any reason you choose. These are human rights (protected to varying degrees) across much of the world, and especially so in the USA.

Freedom of speech means that I can publicly criticise people for what they have said and done. Freedom of association means that I can choose whether or not to associate with people or organisations based on whether I feel they support me.

He has a freedom to say what he wants, believe what he wants, and donate to whatever campaigns he wants, according to SCOTUS. The Government cannot put him in prison for that.

Any company is free to choose to hire him, and any person is free to criticise that company and refuse to associate with them.

There are no freedoms being broken here, whatever you think. Which freedoms do you think we should not have? Alternatively, when do you think it is OK to exercise my freedom of speech?
Say it is purely personal preference: 50% of people can work well in open offices, and 50% of people cannot. Even if that were the case (which I highly doubt), that would still be a solid argument for closed offices. Why? Because while people who can work well in open offices can easily adjust their closed office to suit their temperament (e.g. by blaring loud German marching music), people who cannot work well in open offices have no recourse. Headphones are the recommended strategy, but in my experience they still lead to a decrease in productivity and are generally uncomfortable when worn for an entire day. Further, they do not block out the visual distractions of people walking back and forth, etc. They also do nothing for the feeling of lack of privacy, which for me personally is one of the most egregious aspects of an open plan office.

I think that among programmers especially, the proportion of people who cannot work at peak productivity in an open plan office is much higher than 50%, but even if it were only 30% that would still be a strong argument for closed offices.

Show HN: Deaf? My iPhone app wakes you up if it hears an alarm
I see my more "communication" inclined coworkers talking all the time in our open floor office. They talk about work for sure, but also jokes, women, soccer, etc. This is very good for socialization and building relationships but it's terrible when I'm trying to find out the root cause for a difficult issue.

It seems the has been too much emphasys on the socializing aspects of open floor offices and not the equivalent attention to concentration and flow required for the type of tasks we're assigned to.
I see this explanation a lot. However, from what I can gather:

- pgsql supports synchronous master-slave replication natively, with excellent performance

- mysql supposedly does multi-master replication, but does not solve the hard problems. You can't write on the same row on two masters simultaneously or replication stops; sequential ids are not synchronized between masters; you can't get serial transaction isolation between masters.

All in all, I'd rate replication support between both databases as nearly identical. Pgsql does master-slave better, mysql has a half-hearted attempt at multi master. Given that on all else pgsql is markedly better, I can't see replication as the reason for picking mysql.

I think you've put your finger on something important, but I don't think that it's just a bad thing that leads to an "embarrassing situation for everybody".

At least in Austria it's quite common to receive a stipend for your masters' thesis (in science/engineering). It's not always enough to fully cover living expenses, but it sure helps a lot (eg. I got 400€ a month while working on my master's thesis).

After that, PhD positions are almost all paid normal wages.

Will enterprises, Apple, and issuers will support FIDO standards? 
Trying to determine if issuers (financial institutions) or enterprises, and Apple would support such authentication standard.

http://fidoalliance.org/specifications/download

I unnderstand that NFC as a standard has been around for sometime however given the lack of support from Apple and now diminishing support from Merchants, in addition to few more factors, the NFC uptake has been less than stellar.

Given devices like Samsung 5 may provide such capability, will it be enough for the market to adopt such technology?

Like to know thoughts and opinions of experts on this.
That's not mainline.

The almost universal lack of Mainline support is what makes ARM so frustrating. If it is not mainline, I don't want to know. Get a Minnowboard MAX and I suspect all the SoC functions will be available with a mainline kernel.

Get any ARM SoC and you are stuck with choosing between a mainline kernel with incomplete functionality OR a custom kernel that might have more functionality (if you are lucky). iMX6 might be the closest SoC to getting kernel sources for full functionality (but still stuck with blobs for Vivante GPU), but how much of that has made it to mainline (genuine question)?
