1. Realize that not everything is equally important and you often can't tell what is. Just relax and trust yourself to pick the right parts.

2. I work at home, it depends on the day. Other people in offices check Facebook half the time and stop working at friday noon. Why not read an article in between.

3. I use Chrome and my bookmark bar is organized as follows:

. folder "d" for "daily" -> my reading schedule is rightclicking this and selecting "open all bookmarks". contains about 10 websites, now and then some are added, sometimes I delete some. I don't read all of them all the time.

. folder "a" for "archive" -> general non-specific archive. things I like or maybe want to see again at some unknown point in the far future go in there. Every couple of weeks/months I check the stuff in there.

. some folders for topics or projects, also short abbreviation "mth" for math, "ai" for ai, "ft" for "future", "arch" for architecture and so on. Unicode Symbols as well. "♪" for piano-stuff.

Now the important part: These folders fill up about 15% of my bookmark bar. If I see something and I want to read it, but don't have time right now, I add it to the bookmark bar itself.
If the bar starts to overflow and stays overflown for a day or two, I start deleting or reading things in the bar. (Or throwing it in the general archive). Works very well for me.

4. No :).
An (absolute) beginner’s guide to DevOps
The Dutch police force set-up two teams:
- One team of people with experience in scouting houses, who were sent on the road to find targets
- One team of IT experts wo were given the assignment to find targets via social media

The results were that spotting houses in the more 'traditional' way was about 8 times more effective than through social media. Therefore there's a much bigger chance they spot it with traditional methods, i.e. twig against front door.

So you have a much bigger chance of avoiding a break-ins by asking you neighbors to check your front door once a day (if you trust them..), than you do by not using leaky apps.

Also, at an airport it's much more effective for a burglar to spot tickets and baggage lables, than it is to sit down and hope that somebody connects to their access point and opens a valuable insecure connection.

So true.... just went tothe local museum saturday morning... symmetry, colors, asymmetry. What's not to like?
There are no customs, but you still have to pay import tax of the same amount as VAT would have been if you had bought the item locally as a consumer, at least that was the case last time I bought something in the US.
Purely technical fix: an app shouldn't be able to tell if the device is rooted unless user grants it root permissions.
ARC is still awfully fiddly. Between all the bridging casts that are often necessary and the interaction with strong/weak/etc. modifiers you can put on properties, it's really easy to crash or leak memory with ARC. It's an improvement I guess, but I'm not sure it's much of one, because it lulls people into thinking they don't need to understand the underlying reference counting.
It is not a VAT issue. Not only is VAT about the half of the price difference, but in addition, not everyone has to pay VAT. If you are private end-user, sure, you have to. But if you are a company, even if a small one (like startup, for example), you are surely registered VAT payer and you can get it back. But the price doesn't say whether it includes VAT or not. If you are purchasing outside of EEA, it usually does not.

I was under the impression it's a legal requirement to show the inc VAT price. (And, show it as the most-prominent price -- no trickery like showing exc VAT bold, and inc VAT in fine print.)

You could pitch it as a more general service I guess. "We'll tell you how to improve your app, including ways to improve your odds of a successful app review" or something like that.
walk up first class off-peak period return to That London £164 (to see the Kate Bush gig - stealth boast). I bought off-peak 1st class tickets in advance for £36, cheaper than standard class (£52).
Likely the same for FirstDirect. I couldn't get the app set up on my rooted Nexus despite going through process with their support desk. I didn't discuss it with them, just asked for a key fob code generator instead.
Don't kid yourself, you aren't visiting HN/news/tutorials/whatever because of some "urge of knowledge" or because of "absorption". People get bored all the time; everyone has this problem, some people just deal with it more effectively.
I agree about the short notes in the Rijksmuseum, they are much better than usually. The Van Gogh Museum war very poor in comparison, it only had elaborate texts for very few exhibits, and mostly artist and date only.
I thought the whole point was that the main character got into space on merit, even though all the fancy genetic screening predicted that he wouldn't be able to. The human spirit of an individual triumphs over a short sighted and capricious society.

You mention the heart defect. In the movie, the heart defect is only genetically potential, it is implied that if the character had it they would be dead before the events of the film.
By definition a rooted phone is compromised - a user has obtained root level privileged access. That's what 'rooted' means. The assumption is that it's the phone owner's actions that caused that to happen, but that's not necessarily the case. A third party could have rooted it. A local app exploit could have rooted it. Some clever malware that hasn't even been written yet that somehow escaped Android's security sandbox could have done it.

Ordinarily no one would care if a phone has been rooted or not. It's not important. But the point here is that allowing an app that has access to your bank account to run on a rooted device is assuming that the device was intentionally rooted by it's owner. For a bank that should be assuming far too much.
Bandwidth is cheaper in Europe. See the Cloudflare article recently.

Also, regarding i18n for Europe: most of the time, it is localized only for FIGS (France, Italy, Germany, Spain). Other 20 or so (for EU, not Europe) countries get shown a finger. So why should they pay for that?
PythonAnywhere (http://www.pythonanywhere.com/) - London, UK

Fancy helping to build the Python world's favourite PaaS (probably)? We're looking for a "junior" programmer with plenty of smarts to come and join the team, learn the stuff we do, and inject some new ideas...

Job spec

Here's some stuff you'd be doing:

Working in an Extreme Programming (XP) shop, pair programming and TDD all day, woo[+].

Coding in Python lots and JavaScript a bit, and maybe other stuff too (OK there's like 5 lines of Lua code somewhere. But you could come along and try and convert us all to ClojureScript or something...)

Devops! Or what we take it to mean, which is that you deploy to and administer the servers as well as write code for them. Lots of Linux command-line goodness in SSH sessions, and automated deployment stuff.

Sexy CV-padding technologies! Like Docker, nginx, websockets, Django, copy-on-write filesystems, Ansible, GNU/Linux (Ubuntu), virtualbox, vagrant, continuous integration, AWS, redis, Postgres, and even Windows XP! (although we're phasing that last one out, to our great chagrin). Don't worry, you don't have to know any of these before you show up, you'll get to learn them all on the job...

Learn vim (if you want to) much faster than you would on your own by being forced to pair program with vim cultists all too happy to explain the abstruse keyboard shortcuts they're using...

Get involved in the nonprogramming aspects of the business too (we all do!), like customer support and marketing. Honestly, that can be fun too.

Work near enough to Silicon Roundabout that you can walk to the Hacker News meetups, but not so near that you're forced to overhear bad startup ideas being pitched in every coffee shop

[+] The pair programming thing is an unbelievably good deal for new developers btw, there's just no faster way of learning than sitting down next to someone that knows and being able to ask them questions all day, and they're not allowed to get annoyed.

Person spec

Here's the kind of person we'd like

* Smart -- academically or otherwise. A degree (CS or other), won't hurt,
but it's not required either.
* An enthusiastic programmer (but not necessarily Python and not necessarily
professional)
* A bit wacky (which doesn't mean you have to be an extrovert, just
inclined to left-field ideas)
* Willing to come and work here in sunny Clerkenwell
* Willing to get paid less than you would at Google or a bank, in exchange
for working in an exciting but relaxed tech-startup environment

Here's some stuff we don't care about:

* Age
* Male/Female/Black/White/Number of functioning limbs/Space alien.
* Gaps in CVs
* Current country of residence (as long as you're willing to move here promptly!
You do need to be able to speak good English, and unfortunately we're
too small to sponsor visas, so you need to already have the right to live
+ work in the UK)
* Dress codes

Send us an email telling us why you'd like to work here, and a current CV, to jobs@pythonanywhere.com
This whole "exploit / massive celebrity pics leak" is surreal... Is this Apple's answer to Cloud to Butt Google Chrome's extension?

That's the reason why I will never trust the cloud for personal stuff (for non-critical professional stuff is ok)... I'd only be willing to test MaidSafe, after they reach a stable release...
The 5 Factors for Choosing an Investor
The reason that a formal model didn't arrive is because it's impossible; the foundation of concurrency is the ability to change state and return the previous state atomically (even if it is only one bit/byte; xref cmpxchg). This necessarily makes the system non deterministic. So building a base for concurrency from synchronous tasks is impossible unless those synchronous tasks are atomic from start to end; most tasks are more than one op code long.
BTX Trader - https://www.gocelery.com - New York, NY - Full-Time - Mobile Developer

- Who are we

We're a funded bitcoin startup focused on broad digital currency adoption. Our primary product, Celery, is a easy and fast way for customer to acquire digital currency.

We launched a month ago and the response has been positive and overwhelming. We need to get build new features, release a mobile app, scale our infrastructure while still doing a good job at handling our current customer order flow and performing bug fixes.

Our stack: JavaScript, Python, Scala, C, AppEngine, EC2, S3, Backbone, Node, Compass, D3, Redis, SQS, ELB

What we're looking for

Broadly, we're looking for a developer passionate about coding. Knowledge of JavaScript helps a lot these days but other languages are fine too.

Currently though, we need someone to take charge of building our mobile app. Want to go native? use cordova, titanium, xamarin? -- you decide. Don't know what to use? That's cool too as long as you're willing to learn.

What we're offering

- Competitive compensation
- Small team (6 folks right now)
- Ability to traverse up and down the tech stack
- Sweet co-working space with free beer (WeWork)
- Learn stuff about the hot digital currency and payments space
- Buy new hardware for yourself

It sounds like people are upset that 1. iRobot has time cards at all, and that 2. by giving us the option of a half-day Friday they are somehow taking advantage of employees.

1. Time cards: many companies have them. Not an excuse, just a fact. I don't like time cards, but I like my job at iRobot, so I'll put up with time cards. It's a low-overhead-slightly-annoying part of my week which is far outweighed by the parts of my job I love, which is most of them. If you really hate time cards that's fine - I understand and don't blame you - iRobot is not for you.

2. Half-day: The half-day is optional, so if you want to leave early on a Friday you work a bit more during the week and you're out early. Don't like it? Don't do it. I love it because I'm happy to trade a bit more work Monday - Thursday for an early trip to the beach on Friday. I work about 40 hours every week and consider the Friday "half-days" a good deal.

(Also, some people work from home on that Friday half-day, which solves the commute problem .)
Or you take the number, divide it by 3, round down, multiply by 3, and if it's the same as the original, you print Fizz. Same effect as the modulo operator, but without the modulo operator.
I've got one. Entrepreneurs need to understand the difference between capital growth and cashflow.
Dropbox uses Amazon S3, therefore servers are located in Europe as well.

EDIT: maybe my statement was a bit premature. I was confident Amazon was keeping mirrors, but it seems they only do this in the same region. Dropbox runs its own infrastructure network and uses AWS for storing files, both solely in the US.

Location: Middle of nowhere New York State
Remote: yes!
Willing to relocate: to anywhere rural or any city with an easy commute to a rural area

I am and have been a technology agnostic web engineer for the past 10 years. I've worked for both large companies and startups on projects as diverse as B2B marketplaces and online video games, some of which have brought in millions of dollars in revenue.

The areas in which I create tangible value include fast implementation of customer facing application features, services integration and internal tooling. I can work across all layers of a tech stack myself or work with specialized teams (ie: a database team, a backend team, etc). Whatever it takes to get the job done.
CITYMAPPER (LONDON, UK). https://citymapper.com

Full time software engineers in London. OK to relocate exceptional candidates.

Recent HN post! (help us solve the problems mentioned) Citymapper is what happens when you understand user experience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8238260

We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities. We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:

- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.

- Infrastructure engineer. Be responsible for our platform in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.

- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.

- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.

- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of Python, and some C and Java.

If interested, please contact me at emil@citymapper.com or apply at https://citymapper.com/jobs.

And Sky Go. Which is frustrating. I want both an open device I control (as much as possible) and to pay for my media legitimately. Stopping me accessing media I've paid for on my rooted device makes me more likely to seek it out elsewhere (I'm already paying for it, god dammit!)
CFD is improving at great speed, along with the increase of computer power, but isn't yet in the level required to replace all scale model tests and they can still be very computer intensive. I guess that nowadays the state of the art are these new Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics models. I've worked with basins like that to test harbour and breakwaters designs and I can tell that it is common and good practice to test breakwater designs in scale models before being built, there are too many variables and hydrodynamic process (like turbulence, porous media flow, wave breaking, over-topping etc..) that cannot yet be reliably modelled using CFD, specially when they cannot be simplified to a 2D domain. Nonetheless there are types of scale models that are increasingly rare these days because they were replaced by CFD modelling, like sediment transport, although they were/are pretty cool to watch. Also scale models are very useful to calibrate CFD models.
