HomeAway sues SF over “Airbnb law”
Can someone ELI5 why the following doesn't exist (or please enlighten me if it does):

Some kind of asset management package that will pull a javascript or CSS file from a CDN if that CDN is alive. If it isn't then it can fallback to redundancy locations (maybe 2 more CDNs before requesting the asset off your own server which would act as a last-resort redundancy).

Is this possible? I imagine it could be implemented via JS.
There is a keychain-backed method. Read the end of the article.
It's a good book and the entry-level is not that high. However, you probably want to have some kind of basis in maths(algebra and stuff). Also you want to know some of the datamining terminology.
But, it's free and open, so check it out. Also; the slides are very helpful.
agreed - i was probably responding mostly to language and jumping the gun in commenting on a product i haven't seen yet. that's pretty unfair.

I'm not sure I'm getting the feel for this at all. It's almost as if it's targeted at reducing friction for people to test with internet explorer, but you need a Microsoft account to use it, you are limited to VNC speeds, and you need to expose a webserver to the internet with your test service on it. There's not many situations I can think of that this would be useful, especially if it's something finicky like scrolling performance that needs debugging.

On the other hand, Microsoft offers a bunch of freely downloadable virtual machines with every version of Internet Explorer you could care to test in[1]. Why would anybody in the world want to use this particular product for testing over the alternative?

I would love to know where you have seen juniors get £45k. From the developers and companies I know in London this is very much not the case. As other people have mentioned, 18-30K would be more "normal".
Canary is equivalent to https://nightly.mozilla.org/, or http://nightly.webkit.org/

This is different.

It's not revolutionary (we're not releasing Servo yet), but it is pretty fantastic. I'd be shocked if most Firefox Aurora users don't switch over to the developer browser next week. :)
The great idea of semantic web, as conceived in the early beginnings, was mostly visionary and rather impossible to build. This doesn't mean the that whole concept has failed. It advanced many fields of AI and created many initiatives which are quite vibrant to this day (e.g. Linked Data). The illusion of failure of the semantic web is mostly due to the fact that today there are less semantic web projects funded. The money goes to other things that are now on the rise, the same as it was with semantic web 10 years ago. However semantic web is still here, with many tools mature enough to be applied in the industry. I don't expect it to dissapear completely.
Well, what happened then?
The large consultancies are tied to the global market, as opposed to the UK market.

The UK vastly and systemically undervalues it's intellectual capital - especially in tech and entrepreneurial pursuits.

If you are young and ambitious, you can either stay and fight against the current, or find a route to a country that is more meritocratic/skewed in your favour.

I moved to NYC and the situation I am in simply does not exist in the UK. The UK is a great place to live in many ways, but tech salaries are not one of it's strong points.
Sorry, my time machine appears to be on the blink. I appear to be in the 1990s.

The Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg. It helped me understand the importance of routines and how they shape our daily lives, impact buying decisions, and become ingrained in workplace culture.
We do development of new features behind feature flags, and have automated tools to help enable, disable and strip them. We're planning on moving to a model where we do an approximately annual "garbage collection" pass on the framework (corresponding with a major version bump) and simply nuke all of the code that has been deprecated since the last major version release.
How do we pull up the poor when the elites filter the entire economy through their pockets?

If the goal is to pull everyone out of poverty, is there a way to accelerate the process? I'd say, yes. Predicate the elites selling their people's labor to wealthier powers on improving labor's situation in that country. They are not doing it on their own, at least not fast as they could.

I think we can help both the poor people in the US and everywhere else. We just need to squeeze the top a bit harder.
Nicely put, but I think there's more to its failure than just that.

When anyone can query anything, the SW will build itself -- a sort of new web, but of data, not text.
Thanks.

- Ideally, no mapping is necessary; controls should be naturally suited to their application. The problem here is that scrolling is designed for homogeneous content (such as a long column of static text), while web pages increasingly have heterogeneous media. Rather than try to rewire the controls, it’s easier to adapt the content so that it fits the controls we have. By limiting the visual changes and by retaining normal scrolling text, we are less likely to harm usability.

- I’d like to have access to touch events in desktop, for one, so that I could know whether the fingers are down (on track pads and magic mice, e.g.). And I always thought chording keyboards were a cool idea (particularly after observing court stenographers), but never seriously tried one. And maybe some standardization of swipe events on mobile.
Yeah, it would be nice if there were a way for a part of the pipeline to signal that something bad happened and everything should stop. Ideally, some sort of transaction system so the script is guaranteed to run fully or not at all. But instead we have this crazy thing.
I wouldn't say Roche "killed" 454. Illumina is absolutely dominating the sequencing market. I would say killing something that isn't profitable is a good business decision.

Ah, yes. Safari for Windows definitely paid off for Apple.

Microsoft and Apple make browsers because they need to ship a browser with their OS and it's too critical a part of the platform to cede to some 3rd party. Redeveloping their browser for a whole different OS to serve a market of 5 people doesn't make sense for them.

Not to mention, if they did have it running natively you'd just have to start testing both versions. It's the same deal with other browsers. You can't just say "Text rendering looks right in Chromium on Linux, so my website is done and I know it will work the same everywhere."

Hmm interesting. Hoping it ends up being more responsive than browserstack but not sure it will add much value otherwise?
Well, we have had Firefox Nightly (which is the equivalent of Canary) for, well, as long as we have had Firefox. But activating some experimental features for webdevs is new.
It is better to not be in the US as a crypto developer, yes (especially since there are some concerns that CALEA, National Security Letters and other provisions have been used to strongarm people into backdooring crypto products as described in the classified "SIGINT Enabling Project" budget, although so far I have not seen any backdoors that were not put in willingly).

That has pretty much always been true. The crypto export laws are weaker than they used to be back in the PGP days, when PGP 2.6.2 was exported as a book to call the bluff of the whole thing, but they're still there and of some concern (especially if you intend your software to be used by citizens inside oppressive regimes which might be on The Export List).

I don't see why you'd need a 'satellite' to 'import'. There are no import restrictions I'm aware of in the US?

> You should begin moving your app to Ember CLI as soon as possible.

How to Style Black and Brown Together
I was looking for a new Linux laptop this last week and I completely agree. There are far too many choices with far too little nuances between them.

I want a 15" laptop with Linux support, > 4 cores, 16 GB RAM, CD drive, no touchscreen, Thunderbolt-y video out, 2-3 USB ports, 250GB platter w/ SSD cache. Probably a few other ambient things I take for granted.

I really don't want to see 6 different models all roughly the same, but slightly different.

One of Dell's major problems is Microsoft. In order to really bet on the future, they need to just take the hit on MS's OEM Windows prices and to start offering more selection again in terms of OS choices. That and offer more configuration options again like in the past (graphics cards, OS, and so on) and reduce the number of SKUs that they have (e.g. I don't really see much of a difference between Alienware and XPS aside from looks). They need to start catering to the 20% of the market again, instead of 80%-100% which reduces their focus.
And now that AirBnB has regulatory protection for their business model, they will be on the same side as the traditional vacation rental and hospitality industry in fighting this.

The amount in question doesn't make sense for that. Nor does the voluntary disclosure. 750k isn't a scary and punishing fine when you have Intel backing you.
Any linking provides context thus semantics. Linking to a schema makes this explicit and enhances latent semantics. So it's both right?
> But SSL certs either cost money, or you get them from companies that will want cash to revoke them for you if compromised.

Well revocation is unreliable anyway; you can limit your window for a bad certificate by having a near expiration date, and that is typically free from the SSL companies (though does require a bit of management on your side).
Funny enough I recently implemented touchID for my company (Mustbin).

The local authentication framework APIs only provide a place to store data. In our case we use touchID as a secure keystore for client side decryption / encryption keys, certificates, etc. If you don't have a touchID device we fall back to storing keys encrypted via passcode and also protected by the device hardware encryption (the data protection API). If someone where to hack the app to bypass the touchID window you couldn't get at the data since it is encrypted at rest.

A wierd oddity of the local authentication framework is that if the user deletes the application the keychain isn't deleted, so if you naively delete and reinstall the app you get back old keydata :(
You're assuming StevePerkins was referring to Tracuer or TypeScript, I don't think they were. I assume they meant things like NaCl and Dart.
While 454 may not have much traction anymore, Ion Torrent is coming out with a new series of devices (the Proton iirc?) and they're competing pretty well with Illumina in the cheap sequencing market. It's something, anyways.

I was thinking of trying to make a smartphone-powered ultrasound awhile back and looked into it, and these devices don't look too complicated. You put a piezo in a little box, and cycle it to send/receive vibration in the form of sound. The software to decode the signal into an image is the hard part. But if it's Rothberg behind this...well, I'll take his word for it being a hard thing to make low-cost.
Pgpool-II is a powerful piece of software that allows people to connection pool a Postgres cluster, and is even capable of managing a full multi master cluster. The docs are, however, so badly written and incomplete that it's way too hard to set up for most people. A shame, because it's great stuff.
Sure. Firebug is awesome to hang/freeze Firefox, even in modern computers.

I guess you have to read it all before you can go back and try to understand part of it (that is, I got a headache looking at a few paragraphs, and don't think I learned anything).
Except that C# is a first class citizen on the platform, not a wannabe replacement for the platform's main language.

This already makes a lot of difference in the tooling that one gets from the platform owner.

Another thing is from the point of view of customers.

With C# I can get all the goodies on customer projects.

With Scala, I can only play with it at home and try to be happy with Java 8 on customer projects.

I don't think that's the reason actually, there is a big spike and then all the other COWs are ok, also copying 2MB is no way near to the 300 ms I was observing. Not sure if for some reason most pages where copied, or it was some other issue at all. It could be the code that fragments the huge page into multiple pages maybe? MOV -> fault -> split of page -> COW of a single 4k page.
I am in the computer graphics industry and specifically I am usually operating in the visual effects market. Python is the main code used for custom tools in this market by far -- it is the glue that ties things together. The CPU intensive tools are C++ of course, but everything else is often Python.

The reasons: It is cross platform (VFX is a mix of Linux and Windows, leaning more towards Linux at the high end), there are Python integrations for each major desktop 3D editing tool, and there is Qt for the GUI. You write one and use in multiple different places.

Python is huge in this market. I guess it may not be elsewhere, but generally if you can use Python for a tool, you do. It avoids the pain of C++, which is really horrible across distributions and OSes.

I wish there were a good alternative to Lightroom for Windows. Not a priority for Darktable, unfortunately. If anybody reading this is a photographer and has the expertise to pitch in, you'd have my eternal gratitude!

> What about a Windows port?

> None of the developers use Windows, so a port of darktable to that operating system is very, very unlikely to happen.

> That being said, many things should already work, so the actual porting should be relatively straight forward. It's just that we won't do it. However, there is the "win" branch which kind of cross compiles using MinGW to generate a Windows version. It's still really buggy and might crash, kill kittens and eat your baby. You have been warned. You should read this blog post before starting any work on a port; it has an extensive discussion about this topic as well.

I'm likewise pretty surprised that this made it to the top of HN. If you want straightforward, technical announcements, watch https://hacks.mozilla.org/ instead of https://blog.mozilla.org. The latter is predominantly press releases and less-technical announcements.

Not that those things are bad, they're just meant for a different audience.

There is nothing here - comparing the numbers is like comparing apples to oranges. Amazon's workplaces should reflect the local diversity that surrounds it in each location. These locations may not have a similar makeup to the united states as a whole, so the numbers are going to differ. It doesn't mean they aren't diverse, it just means they are relocating people into an area. Likewise, these numbers simply won't match up in any meaningful way to another company.

All I want from the Semantic Web is to know if I see that an API follows the standard, things with the same name will be the same kind. For all I care, that API's underlying model could output to HTML, rendered PNGs, ASCII art or 3D plastic.

In particular, scraping the View is pretty much a last resort. If you have to, it's likely that either the source doesn't have the manpower to become semantic anytime soon, or it's hostile to providing easy to parse data anyway.

Yes, he's wrong. I do quite well working remotely and every offer I've received for which I'd have to work in a $%^&ing open office (because open office good, cubicle bad plus mandatory daily Jar Jar meeting at no additional cost(1)) would have entailed a 25-50% pay cut.

My advice is to refuse in every way you can to be the generic fungible engineer most management wishes you to be, and to instead specialize in emerging technologies. When such technologies are in demand, your compensation will skyrocket.

Seems like they are trying to reignite the crypto wars, what with the FBI talking about mandatory backdoors.

It's just utterly confusing. You would think their reaction to Snowden would be appeasement, not further repression and surveillance. Can't make it too obvious this ain't a democracy.
