Venn - http://venn.lc - REMOTE / VISA - Toronto, Canada

We're a startup minded agency focussed on building awesome applications in Ember with a Rails (default), Python (machine learning), or Golang (web crawlers) backing.

We are not just working on client work, but our own projects as well. We created and are maintaining http://emberui.com/ which is our first big open source project and we're also working on a ambitious in house startup.

We're in a spot where client work is really picking up, but we're uncertain of how long the work will last and we cannot commit to a long term steady income. I know that part sucks, but we are also interested in finding someone to share a really meaningful amount of the company see our vision here: http://blog.venn.lc/hello/ and we're also willing to do the leg work to get you over to Toronto by the time you make partner.

What you are:

* Proficient in one or more of Go, Ruby/Rails, Python.

* An excellent communicator.

* Excited to move to Toronto (eventually).

* A person with taste, that finishes things. Please link to Github account and finished projects.

* Proficient or building proficiency in one of these things: frontend development (ideally with Ember), or machine learning / data analysis (ideally in Python), or dev ops.

* Creative in some way (photography, art, design, sculpture, etc). Send links in the email as well.

We will pay above your local market rates, with the ultimate goal of getting you to Toronto in a full partnership role.

This is not an appropriate position for junior developers.
I was convinced it was going to be about pure vs impure (monadic) code, but then he just picked out one particular monad instance (coroutines/asynchronous operations).

Any time you have side effects, you potentially have "red" code, in that it can add arbitrary restrictions on how you must use the functions.
How about this: "Scientists couldn't see what was written on the scrolls until they turned on some lights." The connotation behind "photon beams" more accurately conveys the accomplishment than the roughly synonymous "turning on some lights".
Ignoring whining about OpenSSL in Valgrind
You hit the nail on the head. The validation of interest transitions the idea towards the end goal. We plan to share each step along the way as we grow the list to our community. Thanks for your input.
In Stan Lee's case, it could be argued it was cosmic justice.
The mechanical copiers have never been the best way to copy a key.

Each key manufacturer has a fixed set of depths to cut each position on the key at, which you can represent as a single digit. Combined for the whole key and you can talk about the data encoded into the piece of metal as a string of digits.

Telling you my apartment key is a kwikset KW1 with bitting 64265 is enough to cut a new key.

I think it's now two decades since I first found how to overwrite BIOS passwords from MS-DOS QBasic in order to break into school computers. Somehow reassuring that kids are still doing the same thing.

The comments about bitlocker and TPM are a good reminder that he who controls the boot sequence controls the computer / phone / car / IoT toaster.

If you have physical access to the harddrive and can turn it on or off legitimately, then can you not just image the harddrive to a backup (While its running) then modify whatever files you want and restore the new modified backup back to the harddrive? Sounds to me like you would be off to the races then.

Bottom line is, if you let people have physical access to the machine, they can always own it.
heh, need to upgrade my Haskell skills from n00b to experienced first
Is it the whole concept of a federated wiki that you think is a "bad idea"?

When you say that the "'potential' for improvement doesn't matter," what exactly do you mean?

Doesn't matter to whom? For what reason?

I am lenient and curious about most attempts at innovation in the field of web-based communication and collaboration.

Personally speaking, I like Ward Cunningham; I admire his previous work; I am interested in federation; and I generally encourage open source development of interesting communication tools.

When you say "the 'innovation' is a failed experiment," I read that as a claim that hopefully—and with effort—will turn out to be mistaken.

If you think there is nothing to learn from it, that's up to you.

From what I've read it was not possible to shoot them in the same manner because of 3-D and/or HFPS formats.
Bad example; Microsoft supports its software because it wouldn't be able to maintain market share if it didn't, not because of contractual obligations.
Guardians of the Galaxy did the same thing. Every time a trailer was released showing the same shots the CGI was always improved/changed.
You don't need "much benefit" if the purpose is to avoid a deficiency disease, unless you're eating a really exotic diet (or have an absorption disease, but that's not in the remit of once-a-day vitamins), it's just to "top off" your normal diet. Especially since they come with instructions to take them with food to improve absorption.

Any specifics on this claimed problem? Like some interacting with others, or with various foods?
You can do a entire dump of the HD while its turned on and save it to a backup. Then you can restore the backup back to the initial HD
This is a step in the right direction, but down a dead end. Like trying to reach the moon by climbing up a tree.

Taking a step back, what we are doing is essentially: you may choose your own password! But, not really. We are going to tell you what not to. After you try it. And it's not a human, or equivalent AI: it's a (dumb) algorithm.

If you are going to let someone choose a password, ask yourself: why? Is convenience that much more important than security? Putting, what many people will perceive as, onerous constraints on the passwords greatly reduces that convenience. But users will still try to make it as low entropy as possible, so security suffers, nonetheless.

Or is security so important, to hell with convenience? Then why not just generate a PW for them? Here, print this out, since you were going to, anyway. Click "save this password", since you were going to, anyway.

Cut out the middle man and save everyone time.

Now, instead of forcing your users to do the try-to-cheat-the-entropy-algorithm dance, you can show them what a good password can look like. String four words together: happy (or less annoyed) users, good entropy, happy admins.

The UK with its anti-libel laws, banning of books, etc. has been totalitarian (when it feels the need) for decades.

This is really nothing new. I don't know how anyone can claim that the UK is anything resembling a "free country" for a very, very long time now.

These kind of distinctions happen all the time. The classic http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Wrong.html - one colour for html-encoded strings, one colour for plain strings. Functions that might fail with an error or functions that never fail. Logging versus non-logging. Database-accessing or not. Callable from user scripts or not.

Keeping track of colour - in a way where correctness is guaranteed by the computer - is such a useful general feature that any serious modern programming language should support it. We should have easy, simple syntax for specifying colour, and should make polychromatic functions almost as easy as monochromatic ones.

When you do that - when the red of "async" is just one colour among a whole rainbow that your program is already tracking - then the cost of making an explicit distinction between async and not is minimal, and the benefits - being able to track, control, and see instantly whether a function is async or not - are more than worth it.

I think the point is that this isn't... necessarily idiomatic C++.
I'm glad you appreciate it. :) We're far from perfect, but we're trying to build a great community, not just great software.
But a dissembler doesn't produce the same information that a datasheets provides? Unless he means to physically disassemble, but that isn't very easy.
I think you are operating with a very narrow view. Only a ver, very small percentage of people, adults included, will dive into OS and kernel source code. A lot of computing can and does happen without having to operate at that level.

In 35 years as a software/hardware engineer I have never had to go into OS source code for either embedded or worstation applications. I have written real-time operating systems from sctatch for embedded applications running inside customized processors I built inside FPGA's but that's about it.

Yes, I am suggesting that the lack of access to source does not limit growth or learning in any way. They can always run Linux on any platform and go as deep as they with. That's the other point. When the platform costs $35 you can certainly have more than one and play with different OS's and applications.
Someone at Dropbox made a great suggestion to me the other day. What about having something like the Quiet Car? (http://www.amtrak.com/onboard-the-train-quiet-car)

Basically, you'd have a part of the office where you could take your laptop and go work in complete quiet. No conversations louder than a whisper, no music playing, no bringing food back to your desk. If you need to do any of those things, you go elsewhere.

Octave 4.0 is approaching
I understand your point but I don't think the comparison works. Encryption may be 'available' to us all but how many people actually know how to use it or understand what it even means? While I think banning encryption is incredibly stupid bringing the gun control debate into it doesn't work globally as guns are uncommon in, for example, the UK.

The most relevant objection to these plans is that it is trivial to relocate any server outside of the UK. In fact most cloud datacenters (amazon, azure) are already outside of the UK. How is he going to influence the web protocoles? Are we going to have a "UK TLS" with a system of double key? If not that means handing out all private keys. If the server isn't in the UK, I don't see how they can control that.

Roundtown - http://roundtown.com - Cambridge, MA

We're a 6-person Internet startup. Our site launched last year - it lists events (festivals, art shows, concerts, plays, everything else) happening all over the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. We have over 100,000 visitors a month and our traffic is growing quickly.

Our goal is to build the most accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date list of events happening everywhere and to make it available in a way that's fast, practical and fun, both on the desktop and on mobile devices. We want to be the first name people think of when they want to know what they can go out and do.

We are a technology company. Unlike some of our competitors that curate event lists by hand, we've developed a system that pulls in events continuously from many different sources online and unifies them into a single event set. It's far from perfect today, and we need to solve many interesting engineering challenges to make our event data more complete and accurate and to scale our system up.

Our web site today is just a first step. We plan to add lots of features that will make it easier to find great events. These include personalized event recommendations, social event sharing, notifications when your favorite bands/artists are coming to town, and more.

Our mobile story today is weak - we have a mobile site but it needs a lot of work, and we have no apps at all yet. We have a lot to do.

We're looking to add several more software engineers to our friendly and experienced team to work on all of the above. You should be a proficient, energetic, creative programmer who's a great communicator and is enthusastic about joining a fast-moving startup environment. We're using the following technologies, which you should already know or be able to learn quickly:

Scala
- Play
- Slick
- Postgres
- Angular
- Bootstrap

Knowledge of machine learning, statistics and/or scikit-learn is not required but would also be a plus. Experience building apps for iOS and/or Android would be a plus as well.

We're in a cool coworking space right near Central Square. Unlike some startups, we can offer you a real salary plus early-stage stock options in our venture.

Sound like a fit? Yeehaw - send your resume to jobs@roundtown.com.

Bart Ground Cumin Recalled Allergy Alert Due to Undeclared Almond Protein
If the problem is that people are using "password" as a password, why not just ban that example specifically? So you can't use "password", but you can use "djwipvbs". Assuming you're using bcrypt with an appropriate work factor, wouldn't "djwipvbs" be an acceptable password?

More generally, you could ban the top X passwords from those "most frequently use password" lists.

I think you've missed what layer the education is targeted at: software, especially Python but also Scratch, SonicPi, and so on. The hardware stuff is at the "turn on LED with GPIO" super-introductory level.

It still is, to an extent: if you have strong enough encryption products, you have to get an export permit for it, even now.

I’ve had to sign ITAR certifications when I’ve worked for U.S.-based companies, and some companies here in Canada have to prevent any Iranian-born employees from working on certain software in order to comply with ITAR (even if those employees are now Canadian citizens).

It’s stupid and I’m glad that I don’t work for those sorts of companies anymore.
I don't get it... What about a simple https request?
I imagine it would be much like the new VAT rules. Big companies would put profit over privacy, and small businesses that can't afford to deal with the UK silliness would just stop doing business in the UK.
> arguments are quickly smothered with a "look at the US where they can't go 18 minutes without shooting (and killing) somebody"... It's a hard argument to counter

> One of the female operators had a set of messages from one Italian operator who sent a message once a week on a regular basis.

That was the most important mistake from the Italian operator.

> So, repetitive plain text can be a security issue.

The only thing that should be discouraged is that a password should contain only one repeated character, which is probably part of many dictionaries. Any variant (LLLLLLLLLLM) would pretty secure, the longer the better.

True, I still wanted to get the information outthere.

Also I think, if you watch the Q&A at the end of the talk, they clame that the way you write and abstract code is diffrent and leads to saver code as well.

I dont want to clame that it is true, just pointing it out.
