Interoperability, standards, security, governance, (PAS) integration, health professionals mindset change are all required too – however, if EHR/EMR/PHR [clinical/enterprise] innovation is ever going to happen, it's going to be driven by consumers. I'm sure all the integration/interface engine vendors will be working over time for the next few months.

The syntax is so similar that I'm quite curious to know whether the Swift developers have been watching us from afar. :) That said, it could just as easily be convergent evolution... which would be quite an impressive validation of our syntax decisions.

This is a very myopic view. Technology needs to advance in all fronts. Once these things are integrated as part of your daily life you wont notice them anymore and will take them for granted.

It is a much broader term with a long history -- which makes it odd that you are arguing for a wierdly narrow definition that is inconsistent with that long history.

Dear Apple, please for the love of god and the good of everyone, get together with Google and iron out a common protocol for this stuff. Don't make this one of your competitive technologies designed to fragment the world into Apple and not-Apple. Home automation is just dying to take off and there's a pile of gold for everyone if you just show a tiny bit of cooperation to get it started ... And you can all still sue each other afterwards if you like about the design of the light switches or whatever turns you on, but can we please just let the industry move forward first?

I agree with fredophile about meeting a genuine person who also does recruiting.

My personal experience so far has been pretty good. The recruiter works part-time and I can tell that this person is a genuinely good/kind person, which is why I have vested trust with this person.

As far as other recruiters go, I avoid the ones who spam jobs boards.

And the windows?

I strongly second _A Pattern Language_. It's significantly augmented my sense of what in a living space works and what doesn't.
May I counterpoint?

I live in a 1200 sq foot condo, 1 floor, with limited natural light. Automated lighting activation via Bluetooth LE (Tasker on my Android phone) is very handy when I come home late at night, because walking through ~15 feet in the dark to a light switch isn't fun (yes, first world problem).

More importantly, my Nest thermostat. Am I lazy for changing the house temp from my bed? Most definitely. But that's not the point. I have saved quite a bit in utilities with its auto-away functionality, as well as its airwave cooling function (detects how long it can keep cooling the home from residual coolness in the air exchanger coils after the compressor has shut down).

Energy efficiency plays (Google buys Nest for $3.2 billion) turns tech companies into utility MVNOs. And almost everyone needs some form of power or HVAC.
I don't necessarily agree with the post you're replying to, but Rust is a memory-safe language without any garbage collection whatsoever. Proper unique pointers and move semantics are basically magic.
Skymind launches with open-source, plug-and-play deep learning features
Deep learning essentially drives computers to make inferences like human brains do, based on the consideration of lots of information. It can be used to identify patterns and other traits in images, music, and text. A 24-year-old named Adam Gibson came up with open-source software called DeepLearning4j to do all those things; and today, Gibson is launching Skymind, a startup that will provide commercial support for the use of that software.

6 Fun, Fresh Business Ideas You Should Steal
I didn't see anything justifying:

> Swift is the result of the latest research on programming languages

What research? The Apple marketing went a little overboard here.

I know Objective-C is subjectively bad from trying to use it. Swift is a step up and that's the exciting part. That's a good thing for ios development.
I'm assuming OP means structural typing, which Objective-C does not support.
I hope some of the debugging UX will cross over to objC dev; my experience is that this is the weak point of the XCODE IDE.
Can this effect be reasonably prevented? See http://xkcd.com/915/ : some hurricane names will always be more threatening than other hurricane names, and will induce consequently more preparation. But the only thing to which people compare the names of hurricanes is the names of other hurricanes (and maybe other named storms), so there must always be a least threatening hurricane name, etc. Even if we took the "nuclear" route and named hurricanes after, for example, historical tyrants (Hurricane Genghis, Hurricane Adolf, etc) this could happen nonetheless.
I'm guessing you are talking about the visual feedback/debugging with Swift and Xcode? If I were a betting man, I'd guess that these ideas are too useful to be unique, and that we will start to see them more.

Also, I think that the LT team had said that they couldn't achieve as much feedback as they wanted to without developing a new language (that I'm guessing is a bit more progressive than Swift) in order to allow for a more interactive experience.

So, with no insider info, I'm guessing that if they hadn't started developing their own language they may have been leapfrogged, but given that they don't really have to language design constraints around Cocoa/Objective-C semantics maybe they are still pretty far ahead. The harder part is getting enough programmers to care, even if they come out with something really revolutionary.
If you only want to write Swift, yeah. LT is supporting Python, JS, Clojure and ClojureScript. (And others?) And I don't know anything about editor extensibility in Xcode in general or Playgrounds in particular.

What questions should I ask to elicit the best, most informative, and actionable responses from the employees?
> Producing pop-ups or new windows/tabs when not requested, or preventing them.

Agreed - the common pattern I'm referring to is to have a button that the user clicks on to open a modal window.

This is ridiculously frustrating - it obscures the rest of the page, preventing me from navigating around that page or to other parts of the site without manually opening a new tab.

Occasionally those modal windows let me drag them around slowly with my mouse, but that's really only marginally better. I don't want every website to try and invent its own windowing manager, which is what many try to do.
The critical part here is not standards and not even the usability from a graphical UI perspective, but who is put in control by the technology. Home automation has always faced this difficult hurdle.
In most families, the lightswitch, a thermostat, etc belong to everyone who wants to use it and who is near it.
I like Siri being in control, but she will have to be like a Butler that can bridge conflicts if this is to make it beyond single-person households into family homes.

It's not for the hell of it.

[ ] does not mean method call, it is the syntax for a message send.

Objective-C is a super set of C, adding an Smalltalk like object system to C. The delimiters say "I am sending a message", which is different to a method call. Also, without them the language would be much more difficult to parse, and future changes to C could break the language. It's lasted well (first appeared in 1993). Not as long as Lisp, perhaps it needs more [ ] :)

Thinkful – New York, NY – EdTech – Several roles

Founded in 2012 in New York City, Thinkful is on a mission to reinvent education. We are building a school that trains the workforce in the technology skills necessary to sustain innovation and growth in the economy. We are developing a method of online learning that emphasizes practical, sustainable skills and prepares students to achieve their career goals.

The company will be growing from 13 people to 40 this year and we are hiring for a variety of roles:

* Course Developer — http://goo.gl/8TURBl

* Student Support — http://goo.gl/CaICO8

* iOS Course Writer (contract) — http://goo.gl/Liz9tm

* Head of Content Strategy — http://goo.gl/oejC4Z

* Inbound Sales Specialist — http://goo.gl/dZdbdD

* Paid Acquisition Manager — http://goo.gl/PEVv19

* Talent and Ops Manager — http://goo.gl/96lMJW

and...

* Engineers!!!!!!!!!11111ELEVEN — http://goo.gl/uXfqfR

We are looking for experienced engineers with a passion for education that want to join us and help shape the way people learn online.

Our stack is mainly Python, Postgres, Redis, AngularJS and a bunch of other tools. But you don't need to be master of them all: we are looking to hire talented people with interesting experiences and backgrounds, rather than for a particular skill / technology (as long as there is willingness to learn!). Fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to Vim (or Sublime, in extremis) and nice red uniforms will definitely be considered a plus.

The company was founded by Dan Friedman—one of the Thiel Fellows—and Darrell Silver, founder of Perpetually (acquired by Dell), our CEO and technical co-founder. The culture is balanced: analytical but fun, serious but sane. You'll be joining a small, agile team with big challenges ahead of us.

If you are interested, apply through the website (http://goo.gl/uXfqfR) or email darrell+hn@thinkful.com to hear more.

Not always. Different operating systems and browser combos have different ways of rendering fonts. I've seen fonts that look good in OSX in Firefox look poorly in Windows with Firefox (Gentium in my case).

Also these images look like they used gray scale instead of sub-pixel rendering so the differences in pixel geometry should be more or less mitigated.

I'm sure in theory it could look better as actual text for certain setups, but this probably allows them to get the best looking text in the widest amount of configurations.
I'm still creeped out by Touch ID (not this opening up, just Touch ID in general): The recent Snowden files revealed that the NSA actively searches for and indexes pictures of faces and fingerprints.

I doubt this is 100% secure (since all the code, including the TouchID code can be updated in iOS updates, you can add a leak function to a future iOS update).

When that happens, an attacker can nicely cross-reference your fingerprint with all the other data.

Anybody else feel that way?
So it depends on which stores you submit the app to? Makes sense – and should be relatively easy to figure out.

I'll be interested to see how this is used. I've never liked biometrics as a password, as once it is compromised, it cannot be changed. They are much more useful as a username, in my opinion. Does anyone here have any specific uses in mind?

return "<\(self.name)>\(text)</\(self.name)>"
} else {
return "<\(self.name) />"
}

There's no real objective measure for either 'conciseness' or 'safety', in general terms. Whether or not it's faster in the real world is yet to be seen, and creeping featuritis has never been the hallmark of a great programming language.

It makes good press release and marketing speak, but those assertions are a long way from making the OP 'wrong'.
I did similar analysis here http://karpathy.ca/myblog/?p=559 but it's a little less clean presentation.

I'm quite excited about this data release- there are many interesting ML models that could be trained here. One I hacked on previously on my own data was a comment ranker which uses a ranking loss to rank comments consistent with their observed order in data (which roughly reflects their number of upvotes, I believe). In principle I think it could be converted to a browser extension that gives a score for how well received your comment will be conditioned on the parent comment, as you write it in the text box. One of the main issues I ran into when I hacked a bit on it was space complexity, since you need to keep all the word embeddings (usually on order of 50-200D / word) around in memory of the extension, and there are many words.
I'm facing the same entry barrier. I am considering buying the hardware for it at this point
Slogans and mottos and such have a long history (to the extent that a lot of them are written in Latin because the practice was common when Latin was a living language) and rarely say much concrete.
Sounds like Parse but iOS only. It'll make things a hell of a lot easier for a lot of people though. I wonder what the procedure would be if your app takes off and you want to go cross platform.
Checkpointing is a natural fit with the Cocoa API, which uses an event loop. Just save the state of the application after each event is handled.
How much math is needed to break crypto systems, really?
I see so much conflicting information and opinion on this i thought id just come out and ask. If you were to getting started in breaking applications, and your interest was specifically breaking the cryptography built into applications, is your time better spent learning the math behind crypto or the programming behind the code?

This question has been bothering me for awhile, and its down to the comments iv seen on HN and elsewhere that most of the serious crypto attacks that appear in the wild were known about in the literature first.

Yeah, we're working on something much more interesting than Swift, which while cool appears to be just more of the same thing we have now. We've questioned a lot of assumptions and come up with a system that is very different than the way we tend to think of programming currently. The benefits you get from going outside of that box are pretty crazy and we're working furiously to get to the point where we can start showing it to people.

> The harder part is getting enough programmers to care, even if they come out with something really revolutionary.

That's true, but even programmers will have a hard time ignoring some of the claims we'll be able to make :)

In any case, our work on Light Table is a small step compared to where things are headed and at the very least, I can promise there are interesting times ahead.
I'm glad it doesn't. WebOS does this, and I find it jarring to have the entire keyboard twitch every time I hit the shift key. I much prefer Apple's approach.
"That you're acting like that's an issue with the hardware/software involved is a good indication that you're trolling or fanboying."

I'm pointing out that just because Tim Cook makes a random hypey statement, it doesn't MEAN anything. I rightfully showed that iOS, without malware, is suffering from hijacks that aren't occurring in Android. Personally, if remote locking is capable of a hijack, I'd call that malware, but that's just semantics.
