Wait, what? Samsung is trying to make majority of customers happy and that's disappointing? This is what you are saying?
For that bug at least they're now forcing the OS login before looking at the passwords in the Settings page. Not perfect but something.
Really, the hard part about writing an emulator is getting the documentation on the system you are trying to emulate. What console are you trying to write an emulator for?
Well if Palo Alto is willing to spend $250,000 they could pave a bit of parking lot and put in a bathroom/shower unit like exists in campgrounds. But that seems a bit extreme.

The guy profiled was tech worker for 30 years, but allegedly "not good with money." If you're in your 20's don't be that guy. Live within your means, save for those future days.

Yup! Old sessions are basically saved as documents.

You didn't quite state the question there. :-) If things work out, we'll definitely want to do Android too.

Hope so! We're starting with SICP and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain[1], but it's really easy for us to add other courses. We really have something like Coursera in mind.

> He suffered great indignities just to survive and to make money...

Not sure this is a popular opinion, but I feel like a lot of white-collar workers should go work blue-collar jobs once in a while, even if for a day. Indignities are trying to bribe companies to keep a visa valid, not so much working low paying jobs, and perseverance doesn't help others that have no better out like everyone wants you to believe. Which is a huge shame.

I co-own a fast food restaurant, and I try to spend a half day every week there in person making sure things are going okay. People do a double take and then some when they discover that my day job is really as a software developer because they don't expect me to stand around at the counter or flip a burger like the $10/hour employees because I have a six figure income so I could fuck off very easily. People also treat me with way more respect afterwards - totally different from "you're the boss" is "you're the boss but you have a super swank other job". Everyone from random steady customers to like, those (insert major tech company) employees that came in the other day while I was madly typing away on my laptop during a slow hour and the 15 year old punks that just got out of school calling me a "bitch" (..."I want a burger") to "what are you doing, you type really fast" to "yes ma'am, I'm sorry, also that's really cool!!" in a matter of minutes.

Me working hard at the same job is assumed to have a good payoff in the end (maybe my also-programmer husband and I can eventually afford a nice house in SF...lol) while my employees working harder than me is assumed to be terrible - "why are you still a burger flipper" with what time and money to become better even if I try to pay them decently and work with their schedules? I even put out a job posting for more summer hires recently and got a whole slew of people with degrees - including ones with MBAs and a CS degree that I emailed instead with "wanna talk to a tech recruiter?" Sigh...
That's the whole point of me posting this...
No, not at all. $180/user/year = $15/user/month.

In comparison, Salesforce Sales Cloud starts at $25/user/month, and Box for Business starts at $15/user/month.
Was anyone else hoping for reduced pricing? Neat features for businesses, but with recent price drops by Amazon and Google I was expecting Dropbox to follow.

The Choice of Cities (2009)
Data is tricky in these situations.

I doubt anyone collects statistics on acquihires let alone "girlfriends or wives who help out in startups but don't get paid for it", or "HR people who got shafted with useless stock options".

(Female developers being somewhat underpaid is a common enough trope, though)

So, we're left with anecdotes. "Unpaid female work" is an common theme. You've got the MVC article linked above or say this one here http://modelviewculture.com/pieces/ceo-archetypes-7-joan-of-... and I'm reminded of Scott Weiss' post on the disruption his personal life suffered due to this startup ( http://scott.a16z.com/2014/01/17/success-at-work-failure-at-... ) and tucked away in there is a bit where his Harvard MBA wife had to stay at home to look after the kids.
Developers are still more scarce than all those other roles. Full stop.

Nail on the head. These weakly compensated "office coordinator" or "customer service" roles aren't weakly compensated because they skew toward females. They are weakly compensated because they can be.

Try to pay a female engineer $30K when she has offers from other places for 3x more than that. She'll laugh in your face.

Pioneering implant revives legs of paralysed men
Police in Long Beach, CA does this. When they find a homeless person sleeping on the streets or generally causing trouble, they put them in the patrol car, drive them to a neighboring city and "let them go." Now it's that other city's problem, but that doesn't matter because Long Beach has one fewer homeless person to worry about!

(This place is awful for many other reasons, but this just reflects the general mindset.)
The first time I heard about "Secret" I thought it sounded awful, and assumed it would be full of spiteful gossip and behind-the-back-talking, and decided I'd never use it and would ignore anything I learned that was sourced from it.

Anyway recently a friend showed it to me on their phone and it turns out it's actually full of banal not-interesting-enough-for-twitter observations, obviously made-up half-jokes, and trite glurge nonsense that sounds like it was stolen from my grandmother's email forwards. In a way, this reality is even worse.
Neat! I'd be interested in seeing pythonic solutions written in other languages (to the extent that those languages may allow 'Pythonic' style), too. I find it fascinating to see how certain languages will, for one reason or another, trend towards certain design patterns and styles.

> "'Their attitude was, We can leave you with nothing because you’re a girl and you have a rich boyfriend,' she said

She wasn't an engineer. Perhaps they wanted engineers. Whats wrong with pointing out she happens to be cared for financially so won't have that to worry about? Its not the reason, its a fortunate circumstance.

Playing the sexism card is in rather poor taste. Did she complain when they took her on board because she suspected there was positive discrimination at play?

Doing 'the logo' and 'all that stuff' is suitably vague. Is she not fortunate to have got away with coining 60k for a lowly role in the first place?
What that tool says is irrelevant to the question of whether those certs have been compromised.

The risk is that before the vulnerability was patched, somebody used it to grab the private keys associated with the certs.
Hoping? Yes. Expected? No. Dropbox never seems to compete on price. They've had the same pricing/storage options basically since they were founded many years ago.
It's really nice to be able to read something without interruption.

In terms of engagement, a user is much more likely to bail every time you require them to perform an action like click "next page." On Discourse they can just keep scrolling down as long as they care to read.

It also helps to track their position. On long topics, users often won't read it all in one sitting. I am a member of the Something Awful forums, and since they use vBulletin with pagination they can only know if I've opened a page and they use that to mark the whole segment of 20 posts as read. What if I stopped half way through? What if I opened the page in a new tab then closed my browser without looking at it? They assume I've read it all!

Logically, what is a "page" anyway and why should a user care about it? What does page 669 mean versus 670? How about we not expose implementation details to users and just let them get on with their reading?
This is pretty awesome,I'm not even sure you need to branch out any time soon.

You must have some kind of money or parents as a backup if you quit your job. So, keep trying to do the game thing until you need to go get a job. if you know how to market yourself as a freelancer than do a little of that to if you need to bring in some extra cash. if you need to pay the rent in the next 6 months you might want to brush off the resume and start networking for a job. if you only got 3 months until D-day I would work as hard as you can to get another job.

Got a hardware idea you want to pitch to a VC? Use MetaWear
I see that, when you create several maps that have the same keys but with different values, the key-set is shared between instances, and this is basically what brings this particular implementation of maps up-to-par with replacing Erlang records in their use-case.

I'm curious whether this efficiency-in-storage translates to effiency-in-messaging, though:

• When you pass a map N times to another process, is the key-set copied N times? (Not that bad if true, so I'm guessing so.)

• When you pass a map N times over the distribution protocol, is the key-set serialized and transmitted N times? (This'd be pretty bad if true.)
It is, but that's nothing new. The cops in NYC have been known to give the homeless a McDonalds meal and a bus ticket up the coast.

I'm curious what the prevalence of work-from-home software jobs will do, over time, to the ridiculous swell in cost-of-everything in the bay area though. I realize that, like Manhattan for finance, there's some status associated with being in tech in the bay area, as well as legitimate opportunities. But there are high-paying tech jobs in places where you can live much more comfortably.

Unless they drop the price soon we're going to move away from them. It sounds silly to argue over $15/user/month, but in comparison to Google Drive it's just started feeling too expensive.

I really like the product, but I don't know if any product in a commoditized space can sustain such a price premium.
I bet at that time there will be new workloads and tasks that demand even more computing power, like today.
The chatting while editing feature is great. This is something that has been missing versus Google Drive. The added benefit of using existing apps is very nice since you can be working on files that Drive does not support. Will have to take a look at this. Price wise though, it is a little high.
All he did was take an average of the pinging interval... I'm pretty sure the analysts actually working on this didn't need to crowdsource that.
Dropbox unveils Carousel for organizing your photos and videos
Excellent response.

Yet I feel compelled to ask: how much effort was invested in reaching such degree of finesse?

Pagination is (usually) very easy to implement and can be done completely on the server side. Your (very magnificent) solution sounds like it would require days, if not weeks, to be implemented, and adds plenty of javascript to the server-side part.

Do you think there's a "economy class" infinite scroll, or is it only viable for sites with a big budget (in effort at least)?

Did you miss the "gimmicky" part? Samsung is thinking from the customer perspective in that they are usually brought in by flashy "new" features. But that doesn't mean that these features actually pan out into anything useful.

Yes, you can generate a Rust library that exposes a C-compatible interface and then call that library from any language that can call C code.
Picking colors is an interesting problem at the boundary of what can be done algorithmically with satisfactory results.

For my latest side project, I needed sets of up to 5 colors that go well together but are sufficiently distant not too be confused. Since this is the task that palette generators typically set out to achieve, I tried a couple of them [1,2], as well as some "hand crafted" palettes found on design blogs [2,3]. In each case, I found that the palettes, while satisfying the desired properties, were aesthetically not particularly pleasing, in a sense lacking a unifying quality.

Thinking that "picking colors that go well together" must be a solved problem, I resorted to looking up photographs of 20th century paintings (e.g. [5]) and using the color picker in Gimp to extract what I visually perceived as the most important colors. This gave me far better palettes that any of the generators.

There are ways to do this algorithmically, as a form of constrained color quantization, and I later found online implementations as well [6] that give results very close to my hand picking.

It's not that easy. I mean, just sending a message could entail one of objc_msgSend, obj_msgSend_stret or objc_msgSend_fpret, and which one you want to use is not always as clear-cut as you might prefer (http://www.sealiesoftware.com/blog/archive/2008/10/30/objc_e...). And then there's the hassle of defining classes dynamically, which entails six function calls just to create a class with one empty method, and one of those essential functions is not actually provided for you AFAIK unless you're using Apple's compiler where it's a builtin, so you'll need to write it yourself.

It's not ridiculously hard, but it's somewhat less easy than normal C FFI.

I guess "consumer perspective" means "optimizing short-term amount of money extracted from customers for value given" instead of "providing the most awesome product we can and reaping benefits a little bit later".
I was thinking the same thing. While exorbitant rents are definitely a huge problem, a tech worker in SV should be able to save for retirement over 30 years if they have good financial habits.
Those statistics and environment aren't something that companies individually create, though. They are just responding to supply and demand for those different roles. And while a web/graphic designer may indeed be valuable to a team, (1) there are probably a lot fewer of them than coders, and (2) their average compensation is probably lower than the average compensation of coders.

The issue really needs to be addressed earlier - at the high school, and college level, when girls start to drop out of technical course work.
Yes, it's certainly not production ready. I just mean that there is one contender that is coming that addresses this.

> is it possible to write a library in Rust, and have it callable from C?

Yup. The third production deployment of Rust is actually a Ruby extension, written in C, that is a thin wrapper over Rust. Ruby -> C -> Rust. The reason it was done this way is that Ruby's C interface is incredibly macro heavy, so it was easier to use them in a tiny C layer than to try to port them to Rust itself.

Dropbox Launches Mailbox For Android, Previews Mailbox For Desktop
The potential Doppler shift is mentioned at the end. If there were three towed ping detectors and all of them were moving at a fixed speed, would you be able to immediately triangulate the position of the device? How many seconds of ping would you need in order for it to be reliable? I wonder if the software to do that (I guess it must exist) has a very clean UI showing approximate location getting better as more data flows in. (Think the indicator for GPS accuracy in map apps.)
It's very unfortunate, but the main character also an interesting study in skill set relevance and retirement planning (or lack thereof).

He's a software engineer in SV... By all the common stereotypes, he should be in the winner circle and living the life. Agism is definitely an issue in tech, but it's likely that he is not up to date with some of the more modern languages or techniques, resulting in lack of employment.

If he lived there since the 70's, he could have had a paid off place. (Typical mortgage is 30 years term.) If not save by paying off the mortgage, he could have also saved via 401k or something similar. It probably never really occurred to him that employment might be so hard to come by or that things would get so pricey. Coming from an eastern european background, I was conditioned that if you have a paid off place, you can withstand a lot of up and down swings in the economy and the world.

As a society, we should really be focusing on helping people properly market themselves and acquire/update skills needed AND re-enforcing the need to plan for the future. Not really sure how we'd go about implementing the latter without annoying people though...
I hate to be that guy, and I'm going to sound like an ass, but this is 100% his doing. Software worker in Palo Alto for 30 years making as much as 150k has no excuse. Save some money stupid. Also, when you get fired and can't find another job, perhaps you should move out of your $2150 a month rental. That's enough for 4-5 months or more in other places. $1700 a month SS isn't much, but it's enough to not be homeless in other places in America. It's not enough to live in Palo Alto. MOVE.

All that being said, I'm not sure what the point of making criminals out of homeless people is. No reason to kick people when they are down.

When you give developers more tools, they surprise you with what they come up with. Consumers didn't say they wanted accelerometers, but once developers got ahold of them, they proved massively useful.

If you give me a new sensor, I might not have any ideas on how to make it useful, but if one developer has one good idea, that benefits me.
