Jobs made several poor decisions around Apple's stock, including after he came back. A few choices cost him billions of dollars (which would now be tens of billions for his wife). Fortunately for him, money wasn't something that he obsessed over.
Getting started with Swift and WatchKit
Are the entire products outsourced, or just the componenets?

Either way, I think this suggestion is implying that Apple stop selling hardware and instead just sell software that runs on other peoples' hardware (it's the "compete more directly with Microsoft" bit that leads me to believe this is what they meant).
Relevant TL;DR:

While testing, my experience with systemd was decidedly mixed. On the desktop, I hardly notice it.

Debian 8 on the server is a different story, though.

In my case, enough has gone wrong that I suggest you don't jump in immediately with both feet.

Overall, the article's tone is extraordinarily generous towards debian itself. The author clearly has a background in system administration, and is reviewing a distribution that is used primarily by sysadmins[1]. He dedicates three terse paragraphs to the actual meat (debian 8 on the server), and spends the rest of the article waxing about what's new, and the desktop experience.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this a fluff piece, but they're definitely attempting to cast debian in the best light possible with this article.

1. (unless you can point me to a sizeable debian desktop population - ubuntu doesn't count anymore post-snappy, but I'd love to be proven wrong on LMDE's numbers.)
No, they would get a warning if it's self-signed "google.com" certificate which doesn't match the one in the Certificate Transparency registry, or OCSP fails, or HPKP fails to match, DANE/Tack fails to match.

At least that's what a sane implementation would do.

Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area)

Are you a talented software engineer ready to make a huge impact in a medium-sized business? We work at a scale where seemingly small improvements can have a big impact. You'll be working right in the heart of the profit center.

Our division of Connexity works in online display advertising through RTB, and run 50 to 100 million impressions each day. Our total transaction volume is between 5 and 10 billion per day. You've probably got our cookies in your browser, and we've served ads on nearly every site you've ever visited.

We're primarily looking for someone to contribute to our Rails app. It's used to administer hundreds of advertising campaigns across hundreds of publisher sites. It's not just boring CRUD. It's the heart of our display advertising business. The business folks will know you and have a tremendous amount of appreciation for your work.

This role is a great way to learn advertising tech as well as other tools. In addition to the conventional Rails work, you'd get hands on experience with Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, and Scala. Several on the team started in the Rails app and have moved into other areas of interest (low-latency RTB bidder written in C or sophisticated reporting and optimization). Not really possible to get bored around here unless you're a boring person.

Our team is sharp and works well together. We enjoy perks such as paid lunch, a 9/80 schedule (to get every other Friday off) and unlimited vacation; the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work.
If you've got Rails or other relevant web app experience, that's a good start. More importantly, you'll be eager to learn display advertising inside and out.

Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a lead engineer on the team) at david.larsen@connexity.com.
Oh right, sorry!

I very much agree with you about the advertising too!

--edit-- I didn't actually downvote you I don't think...

> I just can't imagine dropping everything for 150 days

Is this because the 'everything' you're doing instead right now is so awesome that dropping it to do a 150 day hike, no matter how great that would be, is inconceivable?

Or is it because the practicalities of dropping the 'everything' for 150 days aren't reasonable?

If the former, good for you, that's a nice problem to have!

If the latter, really try to separate what's a hard, impassable limitation from what's just a deeply-ingrained habit of your current lifestyle, or a fear about how deviating from your current lifestyle vector might negatively impact your future.

Using your time to do what your really want to do very rarely closes doors, on the contrary it's far more likely to open an awful lot of them (and windows, too!) in ways you can't imagine until you do it.

Knowing nothing of your situation, I apologise if you do have actual, hard, limitations right now (dependant family members, no money to live off while unemployed, etc). But if you don't, you're in an incredibly privileged position that won't last forever. Take advantage! Don't just read about awesome stuff, make a plan then go and do it!
Germany has implemented so much solar they can overload the EU grid.

Batteries are the next thing for them. Many of the comments here aimed at the States make sense. Use cases aren't as broad here for many reasons.

But, who says these have to be sold here?

Great move, IMHO. Storage is a growing concern. Most all of the renewables suffer from variances in production.

Elon is likely thinking globally. Just get storage production moving and boot strapped into self-sufficiency. Doesn't matter who buys it, just that they do.

Costs drop, scale improves on things, and he's positioned to take advantage of materials science as it yields better / more diverse options. Think of those aluminum batteries just announced at Stanford. The energy density is lower, but they charge very quickly.

If those prove viable, they can be added to the Tesla catalog, and if their life time is high enough, might just be perfect for augmenting things like solar and wind.
So there was a court case in 1991 but average joe would not have known about it or cared about it. Compare that to the daily news headlines and social media discussion that exists today.

The answer is "NO" because the Supreme Court has ruled that they are not. Unfortunately the Constitution grants judicial powers to the Supreme Court and not to David Cole, Law Professor.
Weird considering the rationale they gave for approving this last batch of IPO's: "a move which could cool a stock market rally that has seen the benchmark blue-chip index surge 13 percent since the start of this year."

Sure lots of things can be used for both good/evil.

Personally I think it's a fascinating project.

The answer to this question is relatively straightforward, and has been well developed by the psychology community.

Focus on process, not outcome.

Don't focus your mental energy on the awesomeness of your projects. (Even if they are awesome.) Focus your mental energy on the production of them -- the process.

Ultimately it is the process -- the way you are doing things -- that your life is made of. What you do is who you are. Your projects exist outside yourself. They're quite literally not you.

This is often discussed as "fixed mindset" vs "growth mindset."

IBM Watson | Pittsburgh | Front-end, back-end, QA, support, and PM

IBM Watson in Pittsburgh has six open positions as of this posting. This is for full time and IBM will do visas for qualified candidates.

I’m the software engineer tech lead on the Watson Explorer connectivity team and former consultant with the product's Professional Services team.

http://ibm.biz/watson-pgh-jobs

* Watson Technical Product Manager

* Watson User Interface (UI) Junior Developer

* Watson Software Engineer

* Watson User Interface (UI) Developer

* Watson Quality Engineer

* Watson Support Explorer Engineer

We’re looking for folks versed in Java, Scala, and the Ruby on Rails stack. The UI positions are heavily focused on Angular.js and Bootstrap. We're in new development mode right now, so if you like to start from nothing, you'll like what we're doing.

We do things like TDD, real actual pair programming†, kanban, agile-ish planning (IBM Design Thinking, not some convoluted buzzword bullshit), automated builds, “use the right tool for the job even if it’s not an IBM product”, and daily stand ups that, for the most part, never run past 15 minutes.

We like to have fun, too, having regular board game lunches and evenings, hosting meetup events, weekly communal lunch cooked by one or more of our fantastic cooks, and managers that are incredibly full-of-clue and treat us like the adults we all are.

We try to keep our interview process as bullshit-free as possible. If we think you look good on paper, we’ll reach out for a phone chat and give you the details on a pretty open-ended code test, where you’ll implement a simple library. If we like your solution, then we’ll invite you for a live culture fit and technical interview, in-person if you’re near or remote if not. This process has given us a ridiculously low turnover.

† no, really. We shoot for 50%-75% pairing, otherwise known as “pair when it makes sense”.
You can read more in the many /r/pittsburghjobs posts I’ve made throughout the years both as IBM and as Vivísimo, the startup that IBM acquired in 2012:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburghjobs/comments/2xq5o9/ibm_...

We have award-winning engineers, writers, and speakers in our office. One of IBM Design’s principals is located here, too. A few of our staff are on conference organizing committees for Steel City Ruby, DevOps Days, SATURN, etc. Almost half of our desks are standing desks in our open space office plan (where sitting is fine, too!) with a roof deck in the middle of a bustling, multicultural business district.

If you’re physically in Pittsburgh, consider coming to a Code & Supply (http://www.codeandsupply.co) event held in our office. We host several per month; we’re very active in the local developer community. We've hired at least three people that we've met through it...

If you're not in Pittsburgh, you can click that above link and search for other cities. Most Watson positions have "Watson" in the title or at least as a keyword in the search. Or you can try through http://www.ibm.com/watsonjobs and just mention my username when formally applying.
Do you keep a backup of your list of Facebook friends, your HN posts and "saved stories"?
That's just one of the many pieces of the puzzle.

Most people don't understand how certificates work and get themselves in all sorts of trouble, so part of the problem is technical and educational.

"Let's Encrypt" is much more than just a certificate authority, in fact other CAs can adopt Let's encrypt protocol (ACME).

ACME is arguably solving the bigger part of the problem which is automatic configuration and renewal for the vast majority of people who have no clue how any of this works and don't want to have to think about it.

Employees Looking for Better Work-Life Balance
Not at all trying to pick a fight. But:

>Load shifting on a consumer scale has been happening for decades in various places around the world (e.g. cheap nuclear energy at night powering storage heaters)

Sorry, but as a consumer I pay the same rate day and night, and I think most in the US are like me. I personally have no incentive for load-shifting. Why do I need PowerWall?

>Self-consumption: in a grid increasingly fed by solar power all those peaks hit at the same time and there's been multiple recent news stories about power prices going negative at those peaks.

Solar, including concentrated solar which is outside this discussion, is currently 0.48% of all US electricity generation. Not a big effect for many years, unless one of the other Musk businesses (Solar City) gets a big boost.

>Backup - no-one said anything about "true" natural disasters. Backup from short power outages is already an established market in many outlying areas and a fringe benefit for almost anyone. And no-one said that you had to buy it and use it for this single purpose.

Okay, but it seems like a pretty expensive way to ride out a few hours of blackout.

> This whole area has been predicted as a growing market for years, there's others in this thread complaining that it's nothing new compared with less famous competitors, so complaints that it's a product dreamt up to soak up subsidies is a bit odd.

I've been called worse, but my point here is that these predicted schemes haven't taken off because they would depend on MASSIVE subsidies, and Mr. Musk does dream big.

The main point is that everyone should probably have a battery in their garage, but that battery should be in a car, and since business is not working out so well for Musk he is trying to access another source of regulated government support. The economics/policy of electric cars seem much better than home electricity storage, and all the benefits of PowerWall, if they materialize, can and hopefully will be delivered by lithium under your hood. Battery-powered cars will take over America, I just doubt most of those batteries will be made by Tesla.
Uh...

CSP communication occurs by synchronising events between (possibly unnamed) processes. Each process offers events, and some events are only permitted to occur when every process in a synchronisation group offers them. Channels (which are a concept going back to CSP) are essentially families of events (so the set of events in.x for any x would also be referred to as the channel in).

The main difference between CSP and the languages that are sort of based on it (and this is a difference that predates Go by a long time -- it's visible in occam, for example) is that CSP events aren't directional or procedural like channels, they're just things that sort of happen (so they don't have to be written from one place and read in another -- they can occur with only one process running, or can be used to synchronise between more than two processes, or one process can restrict another by not offering events).

Communicating through named processes would be closer to the actor model than to CSP.
This headline should not have been edited to remove the words "Report Says", which make it clear that this story is not the contention of the NY Times itself and not based on their own investigating reporting, but is rather a contention from someone else's report.
Yes. I'm fortunate to be working at a startup where people are valued, but most of my friends who ended up taking jobs at big companies are just "resources" :(

And, by the way, can easily yield the poisonous methanol variation accidentally. This wasn't uncommon during prohibition, and many people were harmed, blinded, or killed, by drinking it.

This is a very close parallel to what we see in the (failed) War on (some) Drugs, where many people are harmed by overdoses because the products wind up tainted, or aren't produced to any uniform potency.
Ask HN: How do I get out of my mind now?
I'm almost 20.51, junior CS student from India. I have got a summer internship at a prominent company in US. It was a nice experience to apply and get selected as I found the company while doing a side-project in related field and loved it.

Life was going good but then some personal family wrong happened and it was easy enough to almost kill me.

This event broke me in both ways personally and financially. All in all, I was even unable to make it through my summer travel and visa process.

Sometimes I feel like I am done with it.
I feel scared that I had good opportunity but now I don't have anything.

But at the same time I don't want to see it ending this way. I have too much things in my active projects directory that I'm working on, some books that I'm reading and all.

Life seems tough now. Don't what to do, where to go. No idea.

I don't know enough. Fortunately, I know that I don't know enough.

I was in Las Vegas on a business trip, and I mentioned to a co-worker that I didn't see anything wrong with taking entertainment money to the casino. He replied, "Why don't you just give it to a bum on the street?" I'm going to lose the money just as much, but it might actually do the bum some good.

I gamble at poker and pool. I played poker professionally for a couple of years, something like 2007-2010.

Now I live in a town with a card room (and casino floor) and I go about once a week to play.

I don't spend anything on it (I win).

I also am not interested in any other games. I've never played a hand of blackjack or put even $1 into a slot machine. I detest losing.
My daughter played all 3 games and really enjoyed them, starting around the age of 7 I think. Elements was really a tour de force. (Great name too.). At the top levels, it got pretty hard and you had to think ahead. Kudos to you and the rest of the team.
