The trouble with Tor was that whereas Wikipedia edits from ordinary IPs were only about half terrible, most of what came from Tor was abuse. (Largely obnoxious sockpuppetry, offensive usernames, etc.) They know perfectly well this is the reason Tor is largely blocked from editing, they're pretending not to know. Not addressing the actual reason comes across as disingenuous.

So, the discussions go: "WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM???" "Please stop urinating on our carpet." "YOU JUST HATE FREEDOM!!"
Java 8 does introduce a few features that are available in Kotlin, but AFAIK Java 8 won't be available for Android for some time. In addition, Kotlin makes a lot of constructs more succinct, including but not limited class definitions. So it's not only about what it adds, but what it "takes away" too IMHO.

I've most recently worked as a self-employed developer and as an IT consultant, but would love to join a startup or an established company. I've worked primarily as a desktop software developer, but am currently retooling to strengthen my web development skills using currently popular frameworks. (I'm currently creating a project with an AngularJS / jQuery / Javascript front end and a Slim / PHP / MySQL back end.)

Resume: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andy-maule/4/471/b3a

My last position was as a senior SDE at Microsoft. I took a break to get married, spend some time with family, and travel, but I'm now ready to look for my next position. I have worked on teams producing successful new commercial software from the incubation stages through to large-scale global release and maintenance. I've worked in full-stack web development, programming language development and PhD research into static program analysis. I'm always excited to read about and play with new technologies and frameworks and I'm really happy to move to new tech stacks that I haven't worked with professionally before. I'm ideally looking for a position with a small to medium sized company in the US. I have an H1B visa from a previous US employer, with 2 years remaining, that can be transferred quite easily. I work best in roles that are flexible, or not clearly defined, with lots of headroom to manage my own time and opportunities for creative solutions to interesting problems. I'd love to work with a technically strong and passionate team that cares about their product and craft. I'm happy to work as a individual developer or in a lead role, and will consider part-time work for some projects.

Have you tried xpra?
Good question. She has a degree from Cal., so that opens doors for her. Last I checked she was VP of marketing for a chain of Valero gas stations in California. Much of her work seems to consist of negotiating large sums of money from various vendors for placing their products/refrigerators at key locations in their stores. It's astonishing what a generic-brand ice-cream vendor will pay a gas station to replace Hagen Daz with their brand of ice-cream.

I've watched her at work, and really, it seems like she's mostly an excel jockey who dresses well, drives a nice vehicle and takes a lot of meetings with vendors.

Honestly - It's not clear to me that she couldn't have done exactly the same thing without her degree - she got a B.S. in Conservation and Resource studies. What she's doing now seems entirely unrelated.
Show HN: Blinkist – Hacking the way we read books, now on Android
Hey guys!

We’re excited to launch Blinkist for Android today. I’m Niklas, head of the Product team of Blinkist. Ask me anything, I’d be very happy to have your feedbacks!

A little bit about Blinkist: we create thoughtfully-designed book summaries for the digital age, like the modern CliffsNotes for avid readers and lifelong learners. With the app you can read the key takeaways from Business Adventures, Thinking, Fast and Slow, or The Greatest Show On Earth in a short 15-minute read.
It’s funny this is mentioned because just today I found out that the conversion rates at Asos.com from pound to euro are off by 12%. They calculate the conversion dividing by 0.70 instead of 0.79. So basically everyone buying products with prices based in euro is been ripped-off.
My hypothesis has always been that Apple charges the whole country-wide infrastructure (retail, marketing, etc.) on products, while in US (where it would be harder/impossible to split nation-wide efforts from world-wide efforts) this is not being done.

This also accounts for different prices in different European countries; e.g.: the cost of making business is very high in Italy (high salary taxes, high network costs, impossible to fire/sack people, etc.) so they make their products cost more in Italy to account for the additional costs of running operations there.
How many polys does a MineCraft scene normally run to? I don't know if they already do this, but for my mobile game I run a depth pre-pass where I render depth only with a no-op shader to build a full depth buffer, which then means that all fragments behind the depth get discarded and you only run the fragment shader (the expensive part) for those pixels which are actually drawn.

This gives me good frame rates (30fps+) on a nexus 4 for reasonable detailed geometry (including large procedural terrain) whilst still being able to run various post-process effects (ssao, bloom).

It's possible that the minecraft scenes are that much more complex though.

The NRA pissed off the wrong nerd genius
Ask HN: What are the activities of a CTO in a startup?
I've recently been offered a post as CTO in a startup company, and as i talked to the founders i realized they were asking for a CTO but actually looking for a programmer.
That raised a lot of doubt. After all, what is a CTO supposed to be doing in a startup? Programming? Assembling a Team? Managing a team?
How would this change as the startup grows, would it be a leadership position or just a fancy senior programmer title?

I really appreciate any help :)
Is this limitation going away (or otherwise obviated) by ART?
It's OpenStack Swift under the hood, except that authentication is a bit weird (although properly documented).

> we should make Mobile IP work so that connections don't need to be broken in the first place

A lot of the problems with mobile networking are the results of connections literally being cut off. On trains I often end up without coverage (tunnels, in the middle of nowhere) exactly for that reason; the connection broke. I don't think that hacking a system based on connections to pretend that this never happens is a particularly good idea.
I only have 32GB of RAM for ~73TiB under ZFS management, so I have huge SSD cache devices in my pool. The cache devices really lower ZFS' need for RAM, and it works well for me. Before the cache devices, 32GB felt very tight.

So, yes, you definitely need a lot of RAM. Consider cache devices if you can't do the GB/TB ratio.
Location: Iceland.

Remote: Sure but I prefer inhouse.

Willing to relocate: Yes.

Tech: C#, AngularJs, Sql and all the techs that one usually associates with these. My C# is much stronger than my js though.

Resume: By request (10+ years commerical experience, including enterprise solutions sold for $ millions).

Email: uchihajax AT THE gmail (only willing to post my trash email online).

I'm more an Apps guy than a barebones guy. I can do complex stuff like debugging multi-threaded code and writing stuff that is atomic but my maths is generally pretty bad. I'm also very good with people, talking and writing.
Along the same lines, some high power radio devices in the US would be illegal in Europe because they're in the wrong band. XBee radios are happy at 900MHz in the US, however this is GSM band in most of Europe and we use 863MHz for sub GHz radio instead. And almost vice versa, US GSM is 850MHz I believe.

It's a real pain for electronics work because you can't buy off the shelf things from the big hobbyist stores.

OK, so how do you explain all these vulnerabilities caused by buffer overflow which happen in C but which would be much harder to produce in Ada?
It's an important point in Kotlin's favour that it's developed by JetBrain, the company that makes Google's official Android IDE.

If/when Google decides it's time to sanction a Java replacement on Android, the language designed by their tool provider seems like the obvious choice.
Thanks for pointing this out. I added some brief instructions to the curve editor.
As far as I'm concerned, the most identifiable characteristic of Debian is the packaging system, dpkg/apt. I've used FreeBSD occasionally, and that's what I always end up missing about Debian. I did consider going with Nexenta or Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, but whatever, ZoL works well enough. :)
The type of person who roots their phone is almost always going to be technologically experienced

Unfortunately, it seems, the opposite is true: Rooting is often one of the "checklist" kind of things that you see on many misled Android forums, and it seems that many users do it...just because.

And now they have a platform that is often significantly more vulnerable.

I completely understand why services would block this -- it fundamentally breaks the protections of the device. Many widely referenced vulnerabilities of Android only apply to rooted devices.

Rare? That's not an accurate depiction of the status quo in the least. AARP is one of the more influential groups in DC not because it gives away a lot of money but because of the voting block it represents. If you did an analysis of who you are as a voter then reviewed groups in DC representing your interests, I bet you could get 2 meetings on the Hill before the end of the year.
Well, if you don't get a kick out of "tweaking and worrying", yes, I definitely recommend FreeNAS. Although I'm confident in my system now, it took a long time to get this way, and I could've saved hundreds of hours by just going with something like FreeNAS (had it existed); I stuck with it because I kinda enjoy doing things the hard way.

Android 4.0 introduced a new set of Dalvik instructions that supported larger methods IDs, but they were never used and were eventually removed. ART may have lifted the method limit, but I haven't seen any specific mention of it.

Why X ?

Focusing on X is the wrong thing to do. What has attracted people to Go is the fact that you can build stuff

- quickly

- with good performances

- easily deployable

- reasonably solid

- can be shared and understood between a lot of engineers at the same time

This featureset seems to match with Go. I have very little experience with other languages, so I can't say Go is the only one that can do it all.

As for what the Go language is, allows or does... that's really not the point. What matters is what you build with it and how you can build it.
Not older. All. It's a limitation of the file format, not the runtime. It's a common misconception that it's fixed in later versions, because Facebook ran into a very similar (but different) problem that is fixed on newer devices (the one you linked to).

Having worked with FreeBSD before in a Real Product, I'd have to say that the main reason FreeBSD doesn't have a problem with this is because most of it hasn't changed since the 1980s. Not even because it's particularly good, but just because nobody wants to work on large tracts of the codebase. The normal feeling is "bwah, this is complicated and ugly. I'll just leave it alone..."

Looking front-end and full-stack engineers.

We’re building a data-driven platform for job discovery. Our goal is to fundamentally change the way people find their next job. We're focused on making it easy for people with jobs to discretely explore new opportunities and connect directly with employers looking to hire.

Our engineering team is small and passionate about combining data and design to build the best product. We're looking to grow our engineering team by adding a front-end engineer and a full-stack engineer. Both folks will have a opportunity to have a huge impact on a very small team and will be working closely with our founders and CTO (that's me). Our team loves wearing many hats, and we’re looking for folks that feel the same way. In addition to shaping and building iOS and web apps, you will also have the opportunity to scale our Python API backend, perform data-analysis on our behavioral data, improve our matching algorithms, and generate product ideas.

Front-end Engineer:

We’re looking for someone to help us expand Switch beyond iOS, building web apps that connect with our platform. The ideal candidate is a Javascript / CSS whiz with a portfolio of great web apps they’ve built. Web design experience is a huge plus.

Skills:

* Excellent knowledge of HTML, Javascript, CSS (LESS / Sass), and Git
* Working knowledge of Python and SQL
* Experience with MVC Javascript frameworks like AngularJS
* Experience building apps powered by REST APIs
* Strong desire to learn and grow as a developer
* Great sense of design and product
* iOS / Android experience is huge plus

Full-stack Engineer:

We're looking for a full-stack developer who loves implementing ideas end-to-end. Our current team will start with a product idea, come up with a data model, implement a new API endpoint, write unit tests, optimize query performance, and add new features to our iOS app that call that endpoint. We're constantly growing as developers each day and are looking for folks that are eager to leverage their previous experience, but also want to grow and learn new technologies / languages. Our ideal candidate has built web apps / mobile apps implementing both front-end and back-end features. Our current API is built using Python (Django). We also use Scala for some data science applications.

Skills:

* Strong backend skills implementing APIs for web apps
* Experience building front-end features (web / mobile)
* Familiarity with some of technologies we use: Python (Django), Obj-C, Scala
* Strong desire to learn and grow as a developer
* iOS / Android experience is huge plus

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in UK)

Looking to get assurances about the security of your site or application? I will perform a thorough code and security audit for you and highlight any issues related to a) security b) code quality and c) robustness.

As part of the service, I will compile a report detailing each issue, the impact it may have on your business, and how to fix it.

I can then work with your developers to fix the issues, or optionally, fix the issues myself.

If you are interested please get in touch. I can also show you an example anonymised report that I recently compiled for a custom e-commerce solution to give you a sense of what my audit covers.

I look forward to hearing from you.
