Navigating procurement departments does not add any value to anything.

In the age of the internet, if a company needs some resources then the hiring manager could place the job description directly in some website instead of asking a recruiter to do it for him.

He can filter out CVs much more effectively by keywords using some GUI rather asking a recruiter to ask for the keywords on the phone.

He sends a mail/phones the candidate for an interview, how hard could it be? He needs to interview the candidate anyway.

I don't see how a few hours of administrative work for a hiring manager could justify the fortune that the procurement department will spend with the margin payed to the intermediary.
> I don't have hopes of them adding the ability to intelligently switch from a weak wifi signal to a strong cell signal, but this is a step in the right direction

Android (supposedly) already has that feature. From the about page for Jellybean 4.2[1]:

> A new setting lets you stay on mobile data and avoid nearby Wi-Fi networks with poor connections.

Weirdly this seems to be off by default. In Wifi settings go to the more options drop-down and tap Advanced, and it's in that list. Give it a try!

My Questions for T.B Joshua and His Church Members
Leaving aside the UDHR's enforceability in the US, the document doesn't actually include the word "water" or "drink". What it does include is this:

> (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

IANAL and don't know much about international law, but I'm guessing that's what people mean when they talk about the right to water, since certainly water is necessary for health and on par with food and shelter, and it's reasonable to read water into that article. But it's hard to imagine that means the government can't use shutting off water as an enforcement mechanism for water prices. That would be largely the same as saying that right is actually not to have water, but to not pay for it. If you take that to mean "you don't have to pay for water", you're also saying you don't have to pay for clothes or housing. If I don't pay my rent, can the government enforce my eviction? Or does my right to housing supersede that? What if I have a huge house and piles of money?

I think it makes more sense to say that you have a right to access water on reasonable and affordable terms. If you can afford water but opt not to, you're not being deprived of water in the relevant sense.
What's the point in having more hours of battery life than your own number of waking hours? No one has ever adequately explained this to me.
> Do yourself a favor and wait until DisplayPort 1.3 is widespread and can drive a 4k screen without using Multi-stream Transport. It's not worth the headache.

It reminds me of getting an external monitor for my T420 from Dell and seeing that DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 cables are practically non-existant. I ended up getting one after hours of search online, the only proper manufacturer of these being Lenovo itself. I wonder if the situation gets any better...
All of this is being contributed under the governance of the Docker project. If you believe in the Apache 2 license, then this should in no way be bad for Open Source.

A lot of the criticism I've heard stems around the steep XAML learning curve. OTOH I've only done WinForms and ASP.NET stuff, so I haven't had first hand experience.
Perhaps. I am not familiar with the project.

But if you've already got a captive audience able to run anything .NET 4.0 and above (incl. async/await via Bcl.Async libraries) with the rich experience of WPF, why bother shoehorning a web application as a solution?

Our users are in a manufacturing environment, on a well-known environment. It's practically like developing for a gaming console. And in that light, WPF seems to be a good fit.
My Nexus 7's battery went kaput, so this looks like it'd be a nice replacement. Overall, I'm quite happy to use the Nexus stuff: the experience is very consistent, and they get regular upgrades.
Why I hate programming language flame wars?
There are two kinds of people. The ones that code, and ones that fret about it. Programming language flame wars have existed since time immemorial. Node.js programmers hate on PHP programmers. They claim PHP sucks because of 'xyz' reasons.

And then there are PHP programmers who hate on Java programmers because it produces long ass code. And then there are C programmers who hate all interpreted languages because they aren't real programming languages. I don't get it. Programming languages are tools people, and your users don't care.

Instead of fretting about the elegance of a programming language, it is way more wiser to use your programming language, like a freaking tool, and make a product that people, the end users, will find useful. I hate programming language flame wars. It isn't helping the community at all.

Instead of being cry babies and finding faults in programming languages, we, as software artisans, mustn't forget that our goal, as a community is to respect each other's tools and work towards creating a culture of love between the various programming communities.

Get flame wars out of your way! Okay, PHP has an inconsistent needle/haystack amongst other problems, Ruby doesn't scale and Java produces verbose code, but at the end of the day, there are systems running on all these programming languages. Don't fret, get coding. Just do it!
Maybe it is just me but I do not see it in the play store. (Canada)
Quick and dirty;

Lockheed has a market beta of 0.7 -- So it's correlated with the general market fairly strongly. On aggregate, if the market increases or decreases by 1%, you'd expect Lockheed to follow the market by 0.7%.

Today most of the major indices are down ~1%, Lockheed is down 0.4%, so you could attribute that 0.3% deviation from the expected number as reactor news. 0.3% of Lockheed's market cap represents about $170M today.

It's obviously not this straightforward, but if I were a shitty journalist, I could make the case that this is actually a pretty good result since commercialization will likely be a decade away, it will take a ton of resources and investment to get there, and there's a high chance of failure.

A shitty DCF with a ramp to $500M/year in R&D, 75% margins on sales, and a $10B/year business in perpetuity comes out to $170M NPV with a ~31% discount rate --- Not too unrealistic.

Bell owns the rights to the HBO name here, and currently bundles HBOGO (and HBO content) under TMNGO. You currently need to be a subscriber on one of their "approved" TV providers to access it, like HBOGO.

Now Bell will likely make some concessions to prevent complete Canadian public outrage, but whatever the US gets, I'm sure the Canadian version will have a few drawbacks added to the existing ones in the US service.

Overlap2D and libGDX physics based game tutorial – Part 1
That is fair. We've made a lot of changes, and databases are now running on a platform that is inherently more secure than other public cloud DB services. It's likely a much better setup than we'd have if we'd never felt the pain of a breach.

We should promote it better, but we run new DBs in isolated private networks (databases shouldn't be exposed to the public internet). This makes it a bit more difficult for customers to connect, since they need to figure out how to use SSH tunnels, and hope the DB they're running behaves well in that kind of setup. We've chosen to sacrifice the user experience for security in this case.

More generally, we changed a lot of how we store sensitive data (and broadened what we class as sensitive). Database passwords, customer keys, certificates, etc are encrypted in our DB. Encryption is managed by a "software HSM" developed by Matasano, which gives us a lot of power over who/what can decrypt bits.

Customers are getting more sophisticated as well. It's relatively new to have a database hosted/managed by an entirely different company than the rest of an application. We've been working on content to help people make the right decisions about how they handle these things, here's an example: https://blog.compose.io/encrypting-sensitive-data-in-your-mo...

We have a couple of things in place. When an employer is running payroll: they have 2 points to review (both employee and their payroll as a whole) the totals in USD, 2FA step, and then there's a countdown before payroll begins to run (which they can opt to rush if they so decide).

We have policies and tech in place to make sure that when we're distributing we can guarantee that payouts happen as we expect.

Fraud/risk - Bitcoin itself doesn't increase our fraud/risk. We follow a KYC process for all of the companies and employees on our platform. These are companies paying employees. These companies and employees are liable for their payroll taxes and income taxes and keep records of this for them. The employees themselves are responsible for maintaining their Bitcoin wallets. We verify that a wallet has a real address, but the risk for losing money forever if they enter the wrong address is the same as if they were transferring from one of their wallets to another using any other Bitcoin service.
Since both threading models were supported and compatible throughout IO, concurrency primitives and other runtime bits, the design of both was considered to be constrained too much to get either model where it should be.

The decision was made around https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/230 but I'm not sure whether there's any important prior discussion not linked from there, the topic has been kicked around for a bit.
The thing is - if Google and Microsoft keep pressuring Amazon on price, its possible that they could run Amazon out of cash and into a crisis all other things equal. The large numbers that Amazon is running up could actually work against them in this sense.

It will be interesting to see how Amazon responds - do they raise prices in their retail operations to raise more cash?
I too would love to be able to use the verbiage as a base for my extremely small (me) company that does deal with some PHI. I have no desire to sell your documents but in reading through the license it does appear that I can't use it.

Either way, thanks for releasing these.

I suspect that the weight limit could be brought down by changing the rules on substitution. Could you play both sides of the ball and still weigh 300 lb.?

I don't know about the padding. The players from an earlier and less protected era of pro football still ended up in pretty bad shape. Some may have escaped dementia simply by dying younger.
At some point, you have to make a leap of faith. I take great comfort in the delivery and momentum of the Azure team inside of Microsoft. I'm optimistic that the future of Microsoft looks a lot like that than they have before.

That said, I could be completely wrong, and it's important to trust, but verify.

As a result, I'm pretty comfortable with the terms that ensure we protect our commitment to Open Source and in ensuring there is no special access given by partners, Microsoft or not. The project is the project, governed under the rules set forth by the community. Even members of Docker, Inc. have to advocate and fight for every change they make, as we do not believe in creating different classes of contribution.

Hope that helps, would love to chat more

Regular employee is different from contract, as contractor's taxes will be (much) higher and you have benefits such as health insurance included in your salary. I bet that $41/hr as a regular employee goes a lot farther than $50/hr as a contractor. Though that does still seem underpaid for 10 years' experience.
Is there a github repo or similar for what you're working on?
I get what you mean.

Impressive. What kind of tools do you guys have in the works? How is the compliance toolkit working out?
Your comment is aggressive and uninformed.

I have an iPhone 6. So does everyone in my office. All but one of us pine for our 5/5s - they were, in our opinions, far superior in usability for a one-handed device.

The thing is, we could just go back to them, but then the 6s will come out, or the 7, and eventually, you have to either move to a new platform (Android maybe, but the options in high-end devices in smaller screen dimensions are limited if available at all, and we prefer iOS the operating system, so it's impractical) or suck it up and endure the ever-forward march towards bigger screens.

Consumers don't necessarily want bigger screens as an absolute. Having multiple sizes available is great, but the baseline being so big is not necessarily "what consumers want."

I don't think of such comments as being "mid-brow" dismissals. Indeed, the people most knowledgable about the field are the ones who are most likely to tell you it won't work. And 97% of the time they'll be right.

As for "shut up and get out of the way"--whose way exactly? Unless you're a nuclear physicist, comments expressing hopeful optimism aren't very useful.

Four symmetric cores - all A15s. I don't think NVidia has ever done big.LITTLE even though they had a fifth core with the same architecture but different process/gate sizes for lower power in some previous Tegra chips. But you can see from them all having the same max frequency that all four cores are the same.
There is. Just long-press it and hit "Forget network".
I guess he meant that since apple ipad devices sells many orders of magnitude more than nexus devices, Apple can't be trying to steal Nexus's thunder; if anything it should be other way around.

Personally I have no opinion one way or another. They are all after your money and we here bitching about who is good at it. I am still happy with my three year old phone, and it does pretty much everything I need.
Physicists recognize the constraints on development imposed by the laws of physics.

Software professionals recognize the constraints on development imposed by entropy, information theory, and other esoteric branches of mathematics.

Rather than scoff at this article because Lockheed is making extraordinary claims without the backing of extraordinary evidence, I prefer to scoff because nuclear physics modeling and simulation software is still software. If I cross my arms and say "that has a critical undiscovered bug in it that invalidates the results," I'd be correct 97% of the time. It also has a SQL injection vulnerability, links to at least one library written 30 years ago, and was originally written by a physicist that knew a little programming rather than a programmer that knew a little physics.
So what you are saying is that you are biased against Microsoft and everyone else should be too?
Well, no, that's not the complaint either. Because I've never heard anyone say that.

I mean, I believe you when you say you have that complaint and you've heard it, but I've never seen anyone be anything but delighted when they've bought a larger size phone. (I say this as someone who has consciously avoided large phones and carries a 4.3" screen phone).

My youngest brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 4 years ago (though it took over a year of him having symptoms before getting a diagnosis). It's been incredibly difficult -- he's had a couple runs through the hospital and it was terrifying to see him there, and to see the confusion in his face as to why he was there. Through the wonderful care of my Mother, he's been stable for the last two years and has insight into his illness, which means he takes his meds and generally is open about talking about when he's symptomatic. It's a constant battle, though, and it's hard to face the fact that he'll never get better.

My wife and I attended a 12-week NAMI course (taught by my Mom, actually) and it was incredibly beneficial. The course is designed for anyone coping with a family member with a mental illness. Check out http://www.nami.org/ for resources and to see if there is a course in your area.
Quite affordable compared to iphone 6+, which has an off-contract price of $750/$850/$950 for 16GB/64GB/128GB - on a 5.5" display. The 4.7" 16GB iphone - lowest end model available - is $650 off-contract.

In contrast, the $650 Nexus 6 has a 5.96" display and is presumably 32GB.

I agree that $650 seems like a lot of money for a phone - but that doesn't mean it's not a good value.
Curious to better understand what you mean—in my experience, this is not true at all. All touches / gesture handling are direct manipulation with no delays at all. All the asynchronously-prepared content is rendered in advance with a large offscreen buffer, so in general it should be done rendering before it's onscreen. In the cases where you scroll really fast and get to something that hasn't finished rendering, the alternative in a regular app architecture is to simply stutter (block the UI) until it's done rendering.

This framework can be used in very flexible ways, such as "try to render everything offscreen, but if it's going to come onscreen and hasn't finished yet, block and wait for it to be done". Even that approach will result in a much more responsive feel while ensuring that you have the same guarantees as a synchronous UI about content being finished rendering when it is visible.
Often I see good critiques and discussion of Mozilla software endeavors here on HN. I rarely see much discussion about the Mozilla community at large. There was a discussion during the Eich appointment scandal, but I didn't see as much as I had expected.

Mozilla is an extraordinary organization. I would love to see more discussion and critique of the Foundation's non-software community work.

Pretty cool evolution, isn't it?
"if you want to actually make money you should build a regular banking ATM network that uses Bitcoin/altcoins in the background for transaction processing. That would actually disrupt the industry and allow you to undercut the other networks' pricing models."

How exactly is this cost-based "disruption" supposed to work when Bitcoin and friends are outrageously expensive per transaction?

One of the funniest things about the entire Bitcoin movement is the way that self-styled experts babble on and on about how amazing a technical revolution cryptocurrency is, despite clearly not understanding the first thing about cryptocurrency technology. Bitcoin is an experimental attempt to solve the classic Byzantine Generals' Problem, which can be boiled down to "how can a public transaction ledger maintained by its own users (with no central authority) be resistant to attack by bad actors". The Bitcoin "solution" to this problem is, in essence, for each node on the network to provably waste energy in an exceedingly flagrant way, in hopes that the costs of taking over the network are too high for any individual bad actor.

Well guess what, my friend? That means Bitcoin ends up chewing ridiculous amounts of energy doing no useful work on the desired end product of the system -- the ledger of transactions. Trust-based systems (you know, the kind deployed by, say, a bank, which would like to believe it can run its own system) do not need to waste energy, because they aren't built on deliberately wasting energy.

Bitcoin only makes sense if you are fanatically dedicated to the notion that Gibsonian dystopias (wherein the collapse of public institutions requires development of cryptocurrency) are either inevitable or desirable. It certainly isn't going to disrupt the existing system by being more cost- or energy-efficient. It isn't, it can't be, and that's by design. (Since Nakamoto couldn't figure out a less-bad way of solving Byzantine Generals.)

Which warts, exactly? It’s a happy account of simple code changes that led to dramatic speed improvements, found using GHC’s great profiler. I’m excited about Rust as well (and working on a similar language) but GHC’s performance is quite competitive. And I don’t find a few strictness annotations and MVars so onerous; in fact, I usually make my data structures strict by default, making fields lazy when I actually need knot-tying or streaming or what have you.

This is also a good example of how easy concurrency and parallelism are in Haskell—I didn’t really get how to effectively program with concurrency until I learned Haskell, then ported the knowledge to more challenging environments in imperative-land.
