snw's post might be reflecting the fact that OpenIndiana isn't seeing a lot of updates (except perhaps for those that come directly from Illumos.) For example, when the heartbleed bug came to light, it turned out that OpenIndiana wasn't vulnerable, because the version of ssh they had was so old it had never had the vulnerability introduced into it in the first place.

As yet I don't have any hands-on experience with OmniOS, but I'd tend to agree that it seems the best direction to go looking in, for a conventional OpenSolaris-derived OS.

It's an interesting theory, but I'd take it a step further. HR does not exist to do the identifying or the sorting per se. The sorting takes place at the executive levels, on down through the chain of management. HR just carries out the sorting. Formalizes it. HR cannot identify wolves, because HR does not perform that function in the first place. Management identifies the wolves and lets HR know that they're special. HR doesn't write the script; it carries out the script.

According to the person who is actually leaking this pictures to popular forums, he acquired many of the pictures either by trading or buying them from the -real- hackers on one of those shady online marketplaces.

He claims the hackers got them from iCloud hacks, and other more social engineering hacks.
The calculations also aren't factoring in resell. Sure I might buy a car for $25,000, but when I sell it I am going to get at least $10,000 back out of it so the car itself only costs $15,00.

If you combine that with buying used, better gas milages in cars and piece of mind the calculation becomes harder. Especially if your in an urban city with multiple transportation options.

2) Will they be around in 5 years?

Honestly, the fact that all his "demo" screens are filled with porn, on a university page, is almost as interesting (in a sociological sense) as the actual clever image multiplexing hack.

Although I agree with many points of the article, let's review YCombinator funded projects and we'll see they are no joke.

It all depends on the needs of the project.

The promotion that some projects may get from being in an accelerator can be enough for some. For other it will be the little or big seed money they receive. Other will learn things that wouldn't have learnt otherwise.

And for the majority, as it always happen in business, it will be useless even if they happen to have the best mentors.

Every time I see this I feel compelled to point out that Europe gets it worse than you, despite your complaints.

Say 100 AUD for a game. That's roughly 70 euro (which is the cost of a new PS4 game in Ireland). The median household income in Australia is 66k (AUD) or 47000 euro. The only source I can find for a median income in ireland states it at around 27000 euro. The purchasing power of an Australian in that case is far higher than an Irish person for instance.

Kotlin could be the Swift for Android if Jetbrains make it an explicit goal and gain developer mindshare.

Also, Kotlin can compile down to JS and can thus target another Google platform - ChromeOS/Chrome - with the possibility of shared code.

You're falling into the common fallacy of assuming that a phenomenon looks like something simple you already understand.

Studio EQ is not the same as Fourier filtering. Canonical digital DSP filters are vastly more efficient than Fourier processing. Analog EQ circuits add significant amounts of distortion which add character to the sound. Some of the better digital EQs try to emulate this.

Studio effects, pedals included, do not actually correspond to convolution. Many commercial reverb algorithms use complex time-varying effects that can't be modelled with simple convolution. While you can buy convolution reverbs from a variety of sources - and they're very popular for certain reverb effects - they're a long way from being the whole story.

Bottom line is audio engineering is much more complex than you seem to think it is. Numerical techniques, including Fourier and convolution, have been studied since at least the 1950s, and there are good reasons why they're not a one-size-fits-all solution for audio effects.

The image filter, on the other hand, is a lovely piece of work. I'm surprised no one has made it available as a Photoshop plug-in (although I expect someone will soon.)

I worked around Steve for years, I couldn't stand him so I spent as little time in his company as possible, but I can say he wasn't an engineer or a serious coder. He was what is now called a "visionary", a catch-all phrase that can mean anything or nothing.

When Bill Gates saw bad code, he would sit down and rewrite the code to shame the perpetrator. Steve didn't have that option. This is how he acquired a deserved reputation as a tyrant -- he could only fire people or humiliate them before their coworkers, but he couldn't outperform them.

In the early days at Apple, and not to oversimplify, people like me coded the software, while Steve coded the customers.

On the general topic of Steve Jobs, I highly recommend the Isaacson biography, excellent book, and one that openly acknowledges Steve's core malady -- pathological narcissism.

Bolt - San Francisco - https://bolt.co - https://angel.co/bolt - jobs@bolt.co

We need generalists to help us build a full-on replacement for carrier voice and SMS.

We’re a 3-person startup founded by two former Twilio engineers building the next generation of communications services. We aim to deliver a software service that will motivate consumers to switch (port) their phone numbers from the old stodgy telephone networks to us.

There’s a ton of work required behind the scenes to make that happen, which is why we need your help.

Here are some of our current projects that need an owner:

* Hermes, our XMPP server written in Go
* Android messaging frontend
* iOS messaging frontend
* Server orchestration/monitoring backend (hopefully based on etcd)

Send a quick intro email to jobs@bolt.co or to me directly (emails in profile) if you’re interested.

99Gamers.com (San Francisco, CA) – https://www.99gamers.com

Two positions: CTO/Possible Co-founder || Full Stack Engineer (PHP) - Full-time or contract

----------------------------------------------------

ABOUT 99GAMERS

Born off a Reddit post, 99Gamers is a fast growing community-driven marketplace for gamers to buy and sell video games. So far we’ve had over $800,000 worth of games sold, 80,000 members and 36,000 games listed. Recently we’ve been experiencing higher growth (10,000+ members in last week) and have a clear path to continue and increase this growth.

----------------------------------------------------

CTO/POSSIBLE CO-FOUNDER POSITION

Join a small, quickly growing startup working to push the marketplace space forward. You’ll help us get there. We’re looking for an engineer/hacker who can head up the technical end and learn/grow with the company on the go. As the technical lead, you will have ownership and responsibility for product development.

You should place a very high personal value on culture. We’re looking for a mellow coder with an insane work ethic. Open to students working towards their degree in CS (or related) if you have real-world experience with products shipped. The right candidate would become 99Gamers CTO and possibly a co-founder and will receive startup equity.

Experience with PHP is a big plus but not required if you have strong experience with mobile app development (iOS, Android).

----------------------------------------------------

FULL STACK ENGINEER (PHP) POSITION

Should have:

* Solid experience with PHP and MySQL

* Experience working on personal/or open source projects

* Experience with HTML/CSS/Javascript a plus

* Mobile app development a plus (iOS, Android)

----------------------------------------------------

If interested, send a resume along with a brief note about why you think you’d be a good fit at 99Gamers to brandon@99gamers.com. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Cisco UCS Grand Slam – September 4 – Are You Ready? #Ciscohampion #CUCS14
That's cool. I wish I had a headmaster who can prepare me for an interview in which I ended up discussing project euler questions, prolog, how jpeg works and how the way humans sort relate to how computers sort.

In maths interview, they give you an open question of some sort and want you to have a go at it. It's generally trivial and obscure so you cannot know the answer. How do you prepare for that?

It might work in history but simply not in STEM subjects.

The article glosses over an important distinction between the two kinds of "facts" implicated in a Supreme Court case. On one hand are the "facts of the case." These are the details of the specific dispute under review as formally developed in the trial record. These are the "facts" to which the Court applies its interpretation of the law. Applying the law to any other facts than these would be unsound.

Then there are "facts" which give the Court a broader context in which to place policy arguments. These facts are often not developed in the trial record, but are also not central to the disposition in the first place. When the Court makes a policy argument, potentially relying on "facts" cited by amici, they almost always do so in a way that is ancillary to a rationale based on a more concrete interpretation of the law and precedent. All of the examples cited by the article are ones where a dubious "fact" in an amicus brief is mentioned only to add color to the opinion.

The article, while it quotes Scalia, also misses out on a key aspect of his judicial philosophy. If you eschew nebulous policy or empirical arguments, in favor of concrete statutory or legal interpretation, as Scalia tends to do, you are naturally insulated from reliance on dubious "facts" (and let's face it, even many assertions appearing in properly sourced and cited "studies" are dubious). It's only when you venture out into arguments like "the law should be this because X% of Americans do Y" that you open yourself up to reliance on questionable facts and interpretations.

This is particularly true because the lower courts tend to eschew such heavily reliance on policy arguments, and so don't develop a record that includes the facts necessary to support them. Thus, the Justices that favor such policy arguments often have no choice but to rely on amici.

I think seeing it simply as "learn to code" is too limiting. Programming is a means for humans to implement math and logic with real world effects. Perhaps early efforts will be rote and unenlightening, but I would hope that learning programming is a vehicle towards instilling a greater literacy of logic and numeracy in our society.

Java 8 is not coming to Android anytime soon or ever. Kotlin is quite a nice alternative language for the platform. And the IDE support is superb.
The article implied to me you'd see the effect between people already well-acquinted, so long as a power gap exists.

I do agree the "self-conscious" explanation seemed like an interpretation without evidence, and struck me as incomplete. I'd guess it has more to do with intentional signalling, and that it's often conscious, even if that consiousness is not of "I"-frequency per se. That is, when writing or speaking as a supplicant, you're aware of using language that sounds "respectful" or "polite," and "I"-frequency is a feature of such language which we internalize.

Which is to say that we often write in this style because we intellectually know it's appropriate, even when we are not affectively feeling any emotion like self-consciousness or nervousness.

To me it seems odd that the goal of an accelerator is to get a startup funded. This just perpetuates short-term pressure to get a company sold within a 7-10 year window so investors can achieve their IRR projections and get another round from their LPs.

Maybe there needs to be an accelerator that focuses on creating singles or doubles rather than homeruns. If the end goal was to build a sustainable and profitable business that took a long-term view, then perhaps this would be better for the entrepreneurs themselves, who are after all, the heroes in the story.
Thanks for the suggestion, will have to look into it!
If you want cryptographic-quality random numbers, both Java and Javascript have them. Math.random() is simply a super-fast decent RNG.

Example:

var buf = new Uint32Array(10);
window.crypto.getRandomValues(buf);
console.log(buf);

Outputs things like:

[4027145128, 258543382, 1205615760, 2665675208, 4033127244,
2280027866, 3983484449, 510932333, 1911490534, 2609399642]

This works in Chrome and FF.

The biggest problem here is the "let's". Who is the "us"?

The problems of San Francisco's status as overcrowded tech hub could all be solved if only everyone could decide where the second Silicon Valley was going to be placed. If everyone woke up tomorrow with the belief that in five years some other city was going to be as big a tech hub as San Francisco, then it would happen. Everyone would rush to set up shop there -- startups, VCs, and the random other bits of necessary infrastructure like cat cafes and brunch places where you can queue for an hour and a half. But instead there's no consensus on where the second SF is, so there's defocused overflow in all directions -- to Portland, to Austin, to Seattle, to Boston, and so forth.

Anyway, if you want to build a nerd city in the middle of nowhere, you're somehow going to have to persuade half a million people to move there, and that takes more than some airy-fairy promises about how awesome it's going to be. Cities in real life usually grow slowly and organically over a period of centuries. When they grow fast it's because there's a compelling economic reason (e.g. a gold rush). You can't just make a city out of nothing; even if those half a million people would be happier if they all moved there together, the Nash equilibrium is for them all to individually not move there.

> The reason we reproduce sexually rather than just churning out clones of ourselves appears to be that we're more resistant to parasites/diseases if our genes keep constantly shifting into new combinations rather than hanging around for too long looking exactly the same.

That's certainly high on the list, but replacing one population with another on a regular basis is also on the list.

> This wouldn't necessarily be impacted by the parents' deliberate choice of a few specific alleles.

Of course it would. Evolution can be a complex topic, but there's one simple fact at the center -- nature knows more than we do. An organism's ability to survive, to prevail over other genotypes, speaks louder than any of our expressed tastes and choices. That means if parents make the wrong choices, nature will step in and correct them.
