Constructive feedback since you've asked... :-)

Please don't withhold hiring company names. Recruiters do this and usually it means they don't actually have a job and are just canvassing resumes. I don't wish to accuse you of what has become a standard way to bootstrap (fake it 'til you make it) but it leads me to believe the content is imaginary and the last thing people need when they're job hunting (and possibly severely strapped for income) is time wasting leading them down the garden path.

It's not only unprofessional, but I'd suggest borderline immoral. :-)

And if they are real jobs, the first question will be who is the company anyway.

It looks like a nice tool if you need scripting capabilities. For everyday use I prefer KDE's ksnapshot; mapped on PrintScreen in KDE.

It has all the features of maim (minus easy scripting) and more. Also it lets you select a window or a section of a window using your mouse. Of course things like capturing the decorations or the mouse pointer are there too.
That's possible to do already : right-click the title of the window, go to properties - configuration and change the size there. It's stupid that you have to "configure" your window size instead of just resizing it but at least it works.

Of course you're right, literally. But only literally. Which part of the word "like" do you not understand?

Is it perfectly fine to treat people with a G-U-P-I attitude as long as you don't do it in the context of criminal law? What about Google canceling your Adsense account for reasons known only to them and refusing to talk with you at all? What about PayPal freezing random charities' accounts with no recourse other than shaming them on reddit?

"Apple are making quite a big deal about this. The recorded data is of an incredibly private and personal nature and they’re preventing it from being passed over any kind of network except as part of a secure backup.
[...]
A more real world case is that hospitals are starting to create out patient monitoring apps. Whenever a patient uses their blood pressure monitor, the hospital app gets notified of the new reading, sends that data to the hospital computers, a doctor might then review it, see there’s a problem and call the patient in."

I don't see how both can be true, and I don't know which I would want. On the one hand, the first is highly desirable, but that second use case makes lots of sense, too.

Reading https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#hea... I think the first isn't entirely true:

"27.5
Apps that share user data acquired via the HealthKit API with third parties without user consent will be rejected"

So, that's not a blanket forbidden. And likely, they aren't preventing anything. That game with an on screen heart rate indicator could easily encrypt heart rate information and send it alongside other data to a game server. It would be hard to detect that.

Google best practices for RSS/Atom
They probably don't care enough about a sidebar because they don't know about it or it doesn't come to mind. How many users are going to go to a subreddit and think "I really need to go check out the sidebar!"? Most of the time it's there to try and improve the posting quality. If using a mobile app is a user's primary method of viewing reddit, how would the sidebar even enter their minds?

The sidebar being reachable from the context menu is nowhere near sufficient, and since this is now an official reddit app, they should care enough to promote a feature that improves the quality of reddit.
GCC didn't ignore the Windows C++ ABI. Windows doesn't have a platform C++ ABI.

Microsoft consider MSVC's C++ ABI as being internal to the compiler. They don't guarantee that the ABI won't change between major versions, only that it won't change between minor updates. Either way, it is not considered to be part of Windows, unlike the C ABI.

It's also not completely documented, so you'd have to reverse-engineer most of it if you wanted to be compatible.

It's the platform's de-facto C++ ABI, certainly, and in practice it's somewhat stable, but hardly reliable or useful for anyone other than Microsoft.

Other compilers and platforms used to have the same problem - each compiler had it's own ABI, and on platforms where one compiler was dominant, it basically became the de-facto standard, but there was no interoperability. That changed when pretty much every compiler (aside from MSVC) and OS (aside from Windows) adopted the Itanium C++ ABI, or a derivitive (like the ARM C++ ABI).

The C++ standards organization have a draft proposal to have platform standard ABIs, specified and documented by the platform holder. This really only affects Windows, and would require Microsoft to define a C++ ABI for Windows. That would most likely mean documenting the MSVC ABI, and calling that the standard C++ ABI.

Various Microsoft employees are pushing for it, so it might happen. The proposal was written by Herb Sutter, for example.

Ask HN: What's the best way to stay up to date with software dependency updates?
I'm developing software that consumes third party APIs (AWS, mailchimp, shopify, google maps, etc.) and
makes use of many open source applications & libraries. Every API provider and some of the applications
/ libraries provide blogs or twitter accounts where they post news regarding their software. It's difficult
to stay up to date and never miss an important update.

Is there a better way to get the latest news about those updates?
I had a Dover edition of some of Babbage's stuff. I remember from the notes that she had considerably expanded on Menabrea's explanation, and contributed the program. However, I bet Wikipedia would be better source than my rusty recollections.

I started a blog similar to this the other month, however it didn't really get very far (like most side-projects :D). The main thing I wanted to differentiate with other remote job sites are that "remote" usually means "remote in the US". I wanted it to be focussed on jobs available to Europeans, hence the name RemoteTechJobs.eu.

That was my first hurdle though, there aren't really that many remote jobs in Europe that are advertised. I think that's because companies don't really have a problem finding candidates. I spoke to a recruiter based in London and he said that most remote jobs he has get filled within hours or days rather than weeks for onsite positions.

The other thing I wanted to do was actually put some content in there that would be useful to the candidate to know what it's like to actually work at a company. The top listing on this site is as follows:

JavaScript developer for a massive multiplayer game:

React.js;
Phaser;

As a potential candidate why would I even bother taking the time to reply to that? What would I even say "I've done React.js and Phaser, hire me!"? Maybe I could link to some projects on GitHub if I had something open source, but that doesn't really add up to much. Job listings work two ways, they are for you to tell candidates how great it will be to work for you, and how they won't be stuck working 80hrs/week generating Excel reports for you. This was the second hurdle though, most job listings just don't tell you enough of what it's like to work there.

In the end I abandoned the idea, but I'd still like to resurrect the idea (the site is still up). Maybe just revert to basic listings like this, but if anyone has any suggestions / feedback I'd appreciate it!

The Prolog subreddit is really not very active, but for someone just learning it (like me) it's worth checking in once in awhile. And the boardgaming subreddit is not quite as useful as BGG, but it's also worth checking out once in awhile. There are some subreddits that are much more active (like /r/machinelearning) that I checkout daily. It depends on the subject of course ;)
...and which exercised the weird feature of some x86 processors that had something like 80-bit internal registers but did 64 bit double precision computations, and which allowed the garbage in the extra bits to contaminate the LSB, resulting in very slightly different behaviour in debug and release mode, which gave me fits for weeks...

FWIW, this is a compiler error. Most x86 processors have 80-bit extended floats, which allow 64-bit "pow" to be computed in software with low error (among other benefits). Some compilers "helpfully" compile for 80-bit mode with some combinations of compile options. They should never do this unless it's specifically asked for using a single command-line option, partly for the reason you discovered: it totally messes with replicability. It also messes with implementations of "log1p", Kahan summation, and other high-precision algorithms like double-double arithmetic.

If you ever come across this again, submit a bug report.
I read a quite plausible explanation on HN about it: Many people in Asia buy iOS devices as a status symbol, but can't really afford anything beyond, so most devices are jailbroken and loaded with pirate app stores. Comparable to the china tablets that already come with pirate app stores.

So it all seems to depend on the ratio of long-term residents to short-term residents. In college towns, the balance shifts dangerously close to the short-term side. But do we have reason to think that AirBnB poses the same danger? Has there ever been a residential neighborhood where AirBnB clients comprise any more than a small fraction of the total population? Yes, some people are renting out entire apartment buildings, but that neighborhood probably has a hundred other apartment buildings, too, with several thousand residents in them.

A neighborhood is whatever its members make of it. If people don't like to have an inn next door, they have every right to speak up against it, organize if possible, and make life hell for the innkeeper so that he moves someplace else. But I'm not sure whether we need the heavy hand of the law to get involved in this at all. In your college town example, what are you going to do? Force students to live at least 5 miles away from campus? Nope, gotta make do with the people you've got, even if it means constructing a new funky subculture just for the student-heavy neighborhood.

I do agree that we need some sort of regulation. But I think those pages of law will be better spent on requirements of safety, taxation, etc. Even a proper enforcement of the fire code will probably wipe out a large percentage of the AirBnB listings.
Interesting. We do the same for "regular invoices" - i.e. chase customers who fail to pay invoices. http://www.satago.com

Swift has named arguments, and it's called "external parameter name". Here's an example taken from Apple's documentation[1].

func join(string s1: String, toString s2: String, withJoiner joiner: String)
-> String {
return s1 + joiner + s2
}
join(string: "hello", toString: "world", withJoiner: ", ")
// returns "hello, world"

What's the best place to start reading on HIPAA for non Americans? We're starting up a healthcare services co (applied YC this batch!!) where we might potentially have to be covered under HIPAA. But there's also a possibility depending on how we structure our operations that we can possible avoid it altogether.

I can dive deep into the actual regulations later if we know we have to comply. Right now I need to kinda figure out the lay of the land. Where other services like Aptible or Catalyze fit in the ecosystem.
Like {X} is the problem, {Y} is the regulation set and {Z} is the way to comply/resolve it.

What this article fails to mention is that Healthkit is still utterly broken.

I linked up a couple of health apps to it, and after MyFitnessPal's first attempt at integration spewed a ton of duplicate data across almost every nutrition category, I had to clean up their mess, and disable most categories. Even their second attempt is broken.

Meanwhile, Healthkit keeps forgetting what I've added to the dashboard, and shows empty graphs saying 'No Data' for categories that do have data, either app generated or manually input.

Clicking Show All Data just brings up an empty page with a busy spinner that never goes away. If the database is corrupt, there's no way to reset it, and I can't just uninstall and reinstall it. Not that I should have to.

When it did have sufficient (manually corrected) data, it failed to use this to estimate BMI and BMR. It's nothing but a dumb, broken database.

Little "discretion" applied here, from reports. The drone at the CDC looked it up, 100.4 F is the official threshold, and gave her the all clear without taking a step back and saying, hey, let's be extra cautious for her class of close contact (can't quite say "exposed" at that time).
Me: "I don't want to do this."
Government: "Do it, or get punished."

A lot of people are uncomfortable with that interaction, especially when there's no perceived benefit. In the case of seatbelts, a lot of people (particularly women due to different body shapes) find them very uncomfortable. Which is a dumb reason to not wear one, but eh.
Do I? I mind you, "enslavement" has bad connotations mostly thanks to United States, it wasn't that bad in the ancient past.

Also consider that technology sector is somewhat special in this regard. Your typical unskilled worker is pretty much a wage slave. Many a slave in the past (again, excluding US) was in much better situation than your average friendly neighbourhood supermarket clerk.

My only gripe is the weight integration with MyFitnessPal. I track that with Runkeeper which then syncs it to MyFitnessPal. For some reason MyFitnessPal won't then push this to HealthKit so I have to enter it manually.
