"Full Stack Developer" is the equivalent of "5 years of experience" in whatever new language or tech was announced last week. When I see companies advertise that, I know they are clueless right up front.
It could just be a movd if the compiler backend people put the work in (and if they can't be arsed and implement it as a function call, that's nothing to do with the type system).
My response was poorly worded, but what I meant is that compilers for other languages with higher level type systems (which make more guarantees) cannot emit the same assembly as a C compiler, not that assembly is needed to subvert C's type system.

Unlike hired.com, this guy tells me two questions in that since I'm not in SF, NY, or LA I should move on.

Actually, the post office may have noticed, but they probably don't care, since I'm not really cheating them out of revenue; they just charge Fidelity as if the envelope were legitimate.

Only Fidelity might complain, but they created these postage-free envelopes so customers like me would send them deposits, so they probably don't care, either.

It was a just a fun thing to try, and great to see that it worked!

> I guess the rule of thumb is that even when costs are eroded, profits increased, intermediaries disintermediated... the prices will rise to the maximum levels that the market will bear.

Price has always been about demand versus supply, not demand versus cost. Reducing costs in situations where supply is constrained by some other factor will just increase profits.

You're incorrect with regard to diversification.

You can go short the good company and long equivalent bad company (or a basket of securities containing a bad company) and be more or less hedged until the premium for being a "good" company dissipates (and it very likely would.)

You don't really lose diversification in this scenario, since you'd be able to construct a long/short basket that can have you market neutral with respect to systemic inputs to the valuations of both companies.
I've wondered for a long time if one could "hack" (or more like "exploit" or "cheat") the "Return To Sender" feature of the USPS to get free postage. Suppose I want to send a letter to John Doe without paying postage. I address the envelope to my own address and use John's address as the from address. I don't put a stamp on it. Without postage, the USPS should not deliver it to me and should return it to the sender for proper postage. BAM! John gets my letter.
Rethinking Viral: Why the Digital World Is Not as Democratic as We Think
If you're doing mathematics then multiplication is the thing you care about and not its representation in any given number/notation system but if you're actually implementing multiplication then you definitely care about the actual bits and bytes. What structure you impose on top of the implementation to make it easier is all nice and well but don't fool yourself into thinking that types are the end of it. In fact to truly impose some kind of type structure so you could reason about what was going on at the hardware level you'd need more than just the integer type or the floating point type because those types don't let you reason about overflow/underflow at such a high level. Any correct implementation would need to worry about those restrictions and consequently would have to represent those restrictions in the type system.

The MBTA does this these days although its main use is w/ the busses, where it has been a godsend.

I can watch from my computer or phone until just before a bus is coming in and hurry on out to the stop.
This would only work if you were in the same delivery zone as John Doe. For instance, if you sent a letter "from" NYC while in the Bay Area, I'd suspect that they'd simply discard the mail.
My understanding is that RC planes have been mostly ignored in the regulations because the community is so small. If quadrotors enable a massive explosion in hobbyist R/C flight it changes the story. The few drones flying right now aren't the issue - it's what happens now that they're on the verge of becoming so cheap and accessible. I know a lot of people with reasonably high power Phantoms that never would have considered R/C planes before.

I can't give specifics but a lot of these are short lived. For example, if you launch a MapReduce it'll typically launch containers for each of the workers and then take them down when the MR is done.

This also doesn't speak to the number of long running containers. There are plenty that don't stop/start during the week I grabbed that number.
If docker images are fancy static binaries, then docker containers are fancy OS processes. Going through two billion OS PIDs in a week doesn't seem that hard.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. This technique is not entirely unlike using a phantom type, which is a common way of encoding such constraints into the type system.

I'll admit it's not ideal; in fact, it's often downright cumbersome. In some cases, it's not possible to encode desired information into a particular type system.

But in this case, it seems valid to me. There is no way to construct a value of IntegerPowerOfTwo that does not represent a power of two, and therefore it fulfills GP's example requirement.
I believe that's referred to as "mail fraud".
I hope that it doesn't follow the same channels. I would prefer different classes of drones with lots of room for experimentation.
Compare OS and compensation. Apparently all the highest paid developers use Windows 7.

Pretty-printing: awesome! Unfortunately it's a little buggy when setting breakpoints. I tested it using the minified version of jquery on the Mozilla pages and it quickly went out of sync while stepping into a function.

Finally! This will be extremely helpful for platforms across web and mobile that need to provide a consistent experience. A large portion of our engagement comes from being able to let our users know that relevant content has become available (e.g. potential purchases, in-app messages). The experience cannot start and end with simply opening up our app.

Users are inundated with countless emails from app/websites and it is difficult to separate yourself from the spam...even if your users want to hear from you. They simply do not have the time to sift through all the garbarge...nor should they have to!

I think Roost will finally allow us to engage with users on our and their terms. Excited to check this out!

I feel like a cooler impact statement would to start an investment fund where by the fund based on its size targets owning large swaths of shares in companies it deems as evil. Then leverages its position in those companies to shift the direction away from said evil things.

Companies that are public and already not evil are going to be fine. But making evil companies be not evil would be a cool premise.

>Not all Internet traffic will be the same, according to the report. Internet connected medical devices, for example, would have a different data profile than video streaming, but a higher speed urgency.

That's some none too subtle bias there.

Also completely misunderstanding the issue, video files would be given special treatment over medical data if the telecoms get their way and netflix coughs up the money.

Continuous Deployment at Battlefy with Docker, Node.js, Jenkins, and Screener
A lot of businesses in America transfer funds electronically with a "pull" type of system. You give the business the bank account number of your account and they withdraw the funds. If the business does not offer this, then you need to send them the number on a piece of paper, such as a cheque.

This differs from European systems where businesses post incoming bank account numbers and customers "push" it from their banks to the business via a transfer form (which, if I recall correctly, you need to fill and deliver to the bank or post online, correct?)

Ultimately this is a political battle, and Netflix is demonstrating they can get the ears of their downtrodden subscribers. This is an existential threat to the business model of the big last mile providers save perhaps Century, and might even help push them into the worst case of common carrier status, as the FCC is threatening.

Right now I don't read that threat as credible, but, let's say, how about after the first few Congresscritters are sent home to spend more time with their families after an election? We gun owners, probably less numerous than voting Internet users (don't believe gun ownership self-reporting in surveys, for obvious reasons), with nothing more than our organized votes, have moved mountains at every level of government over the last three decades. Ask ex-Speaker of the House Tom Foley about our power (first Speaker to be turned out of office since the Civil War in 1862).

As the Internet, and good Internet service, gets every more important, the potential is there. Getting back to my analogy, the gun grabbers had a fantastic run for a couple of decades (or more than a century, depending on how you count this and gun control starting to really bite non-minorities), before politically effective resistance started showing results.

A great book that puts this to practice is "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". Some of the first exercises are to free hand copy a line drawing, while the picture you are copying is upside-down. The theory being that the symbol-interpreting portion of the brain then doesn't exert much influence on the drawing. It was pretty amazing to see the difference this makes. Anyone who is interested in learning how to draw, but doesn't think they have the talent should check out this book.

It's like asking "why are all these blank sheets of paper so similar?" Browsers are getting more minimal because browser chrome just gets in the way of the content.

Anyway they're not that similar. Firefox has a search bar, refresh button on the right, and no greyed-out "forward" button. Opera has the speed dial buttons. And Chrome would be the most "minimal" if it weren't for the extension icons over on the right.

Adafruit is an US company, they can take advantage of simpler US regulations. As long as I import the modules for private usage, I don't need EU regulations (but in case my device causes RF interruptions, I still am liable!).

As soon as I start to selling them for money in the EU, I am the importer and thus need to provide CE certification, R&TTE inspection, WEEE trash register, etc pp.
This brings up an embarrassment I have, being an american that's moved to Europe. I've had colleagues that have worked short-term in the u.s. and when they receive a 'check' from their workplace they think it's the most fascinating, interesting thing. A check! It's almost like they're holding the money in their hands... (their words, not mine)

I don't think my bank even has checks - at least they're not a standard enough feature that they mention them.

Thinking about it though, they did let me deposit a check from the u.s. once. It took about three works for it to go through. Wire transfers to anywhere in the world (I regularly send money to the u.s. and India) go through in two or three days.

In fact, the check I deposited was about $50K, so it's understandable it took awhile, but a wire transfer I received from the u.s. for the same exact amount only took two days.

So, why use checks?

We have a system where every bill is payable by bank transfer, and the bill you receive only contains the bank transfer information.

This could run on top of CoreOS (I haven't tried yet though).

If we look at a very high level sketch of what a dynamic cluster system look like (https://speakerdeck.com/jbeda/containers-at-scale?slide=5) I think that CoreOS fits in at the "Managed Base OS" level.

Kubernetes is a Cluster Scheduler and a "Node Container Manager" (called the kubelet in Kubernetes).

(This deck is pre-Kupernetes. The python agent that we released will be replaced with the kubelet at some point soon.)
