> But critics accused the company of abandoning an employee who had stood for what’s right,

Adria Richards was the one who tried to start a witch hunt by talking photos of the two individuals who were just minding their own business joking around.

Just imagine this. Think of all the jokes you share with your close ones in your private time, off the record. Say one day, a random person suddenly takes photo of you and declare you a racist, sexist, rapist etc for overhearing what's supposed offensive to them. No matter how harmless the joke is, the damage is done. You'll be branded as whatever the person says you are.

Is this the type of behavior we want to promote by saying this is just action? Think really carefully before you defend such action. It can really ruin lives.

We’re a VC and Y Combinator-backed startup at the beginning of our journey. As one of our first engineers you'll play a central role in defining our tech culture and direction, have real responsibility and ownership, and have direct influence on product and strategy.

Apply by emailing jobs@permutive.com with your CV/resume and anything else that helps us know more about who you are. Unfortunately we cannot sponsor visas at the moment so you'll need to be eligible to work in the UK!
I would say Vim is not good or well rounded until you cobble together a set of addons that let you do things that many IDEs (and text editors) do out of the box.
Empirical PL (2014)
Cmdkeen explicitly refers to dress codes, benefits packages and socialization patterns, not abuse, disrespect and racism.

People constantly talk about racism and sexism being "rampant", but evidence of this would be helpful. Citing statistical disparities is insufficient since, as cmdkeen notes, this could also be caused by "tech minorities" disliking the culture of tech rather than techies disliking them.
Not exactly BootCamp, but I've been running the preview builds of 10 on Parallels without any trouble.
I was going to ask the same thing. I am not 100% but I think I did see an option to do a format type of deal when I got the 8.1 upgrade.

In any event, even though my Windows 8 setup from 2 years ago is running excellent on my Intel SSD drive, I thing Windows 10 will be a big enough upgrade to warrant a fresh install. I already have most of my stuff backed up so it will be just a matter of reinstalling my applications.
> 3) const + deep Object.freeze() makes for a complete const.

The trouble with this approach is that runtime checks are only a guarantee that the code you've _exercised_ does not break the contract.

In that respect, `const` is deeply different than `.freeze`, in the same way that runtime assertions are deeply different than type checking.
A few data points and questions:

- it appears PyPy performance improvements have begun to plateau [1]

- what's not measured is memory consumption in comparision to CPython. I've read anecdotal evidence that indicates PyPy
is increase in memory usage [2]

- I also have not found a chart that depicts how compatible PyPy is vs CPython. If someone had a chart of this over time, that'd be great.

So no one feels that stuff like "Cracking the Coding Interview" is really that helpful?
When is someone "representing the company", though? That's what a lot of this boils down to. Is it only when they are officially operating for the company? In this age of public LinkedIn profiles, etc., it's far too easy to associate the actions of an individual with their employer.

In the FHRITP case, the man worked for a public (provincial government) organization, so I'm not surprised that there was outrage that someone who behaves in that way in public was on the public payroll.
Yeah, for a couple months, they broke video for both VMware and VirtualBox. That is, 3D and 2D had severe issues. Couldn't auto resize, couldn't get the right resolution (just the standard presets), couldn't use 3D accel. It was only fixed in 10074. That's a long time to break a huge feature and it really worries me. VMware is probably the largest single piece of hardware used.

I've not had any BSODs, but the UI in general is poor and glitchy.
There have been ISOs of the slow ring preview builds. I'd expect they will be available as usual.
Your evaluation and thinking is entirely correct. For most mainstream development the vast majority of your time will be spent on things (debugging, testing, stepping through, reading documentation, refactoring, etc) that don't involve typing/modifying reams of text. Furthermore, if you're using languages like C++, Vim has very poor refactoring support when compared with commercial tools like Visual Assist. Having said that, you can get a decent IDE with Vim plugins - for free. You don't have to learn or use Vim's text manipulation commands at all, if you don't want to.

Second Spectrum - Los Angeles, CA, Shanghai, and Boston, MA - http://www.secondspectrum.com

Big data has come to sports, and Second Spectrum is using it to transform the sports experience, for everyone from coaches and players to the most hardcore or casual fan. We have trained machines to understand sports at a level of sophistication that exceeds that of most collegiate players. Using this machine understanding, we deliver analytics software that is helping ten NBA teams win more games, is enabling national broadcasters to tell better stories, and will give every fan their own personal sportscast. We have recently signed deals with ESPN and Fox to deliver content for their broadcasts, starting with this clip that appeared on NBA Countdown: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12510250, and extending to interactive products that the broadcasters will use on air.

We are looking for a variety of engineering roles, including full-stack, UI/UX, systems, mobile, dev-ops, machine learning and computer vision engineers. The responsibilities range from sophisticated UI design that supports detailed but intuitive analytics, to front-end interfaces that will appear on national sports broadcasts, to scalable backend infrastructure that supports robust video streaming, to ML and CV engineering that enables the semantic layer that understands the game. Our software stack is based around Node, Go and Python, and we also use C++ for our video systems.

In addition to the engineering roles, we’re also hiring a product manager who will guide our engineering and design efforts in order to deliver our technology to all our customers, ranging from NBA coaches to casual fans of the game.

Medicine’s Hidden Roots in an Ancient Manuscript
Best time to post on producthunt and trend report
If you are spending so much time typing that fractions of a second at the keyboard make a significant impact on the development cycle, you are a hack and don't know what you are doing.

This is a point addressed in the article.

And that’s why I don’t really care about Vim “speed”. I am not “faster” using Vim. I do not generate noticeable more code at the end of the day. But I generate it with less effort and caring more about the quality than battling with my keyboard. I am more relaxed, more in control, focused in what matters. Caring about getting stuff done. More productive. That’s Vim killer feature.
The only time I've met Zed I found him to be a perfectly pleasant and non-cantankerous person.

My understanding of his approach to teaching is that it's based getting people to do things that bring results and then getting them to understand why after - which I think is a perfectly sensible one for beginners
NFL | Culver City, CA

The NFL (http://www.nfl.com) is looking for great software engineers to help build out its fan facing web, mobile and backend services. The NFL properties see hundreds of millions of users worldwide and its mobile applications are installed on tens of millions of devices.

We are primarily hiring iOS, Android, Web and Backend engineers (with a bit of a lean to people with an interest in full stack development). Currently we are building (and rebuilding) a lot of our core architecture. Our new iOS app is written entirely in Swift, our Android application using RxAndroid and our new web platform is based on React.js. On the backend we are in the middle of rebuilding a lot of our services experimenting with a lot of different technologies generally with an eye on immutable data and functional programming.

Hmmm, the Y axis of the graph is tough to interpret.

Isn't it kind of weird to use a percentage for a line graph? With percentages, the goal is to provide an obvious fractional breakdown, that viewers can readily sum to 100%, visually.

I have no idea how to sum a curve and reconcile back to the original universe.

If the complete set of links in this data is a count of 12,373 links, then how many have decayed? Based on that graph, I have no idea.
> There's no need to download or install a magic bean client when options such as blockchain.info and xapo are available.

You mean the same blockchain.info which was making http requests to random.org to generate their rng, and when the http requests became a 301 redirect to https, it just used the first 32 bytes of the redirect message to generate the rng, hence producing the same random seed for all their wallets since may 2014 or such?

And all other online wallets also have problems. From what I've seen, using an online wallet is highly discouraged due to security risks.

> Wallet security is pretty much the same you'd be practicing with your bank accounts,

Frankly, that's bullshit. Wallet security is a really complicated topic, which often starts with, 'get a laptop disconnected from the net, and do a blank install of a linux VM'.

I don't know the answer, but I think if we approach it scientifically, the theory that the tech industry is not significantly different than others is the correct null hypothesis, so the claim that it is worse holds the burden of proof.
Virgin is a bit of an exception. At the beginning it merely chartered aircraft run by others; it was a branding exercise rather than managing and running aircraft.

Conglomerates like GE do anything and everything, but the companies cited in the article appears to be relatively small, e.g.from making only floorboards to online gaming is quite a shift in operational requirements.
What are some better ones?
> A shift to monetary easing and fiscal stimulus—and expectations of more to come—help explain why the rally began. But the longer it continues, the more it looks like irrational exuberance.

It was a movement that attempted to achieve clarity and elegance by omitting the unnecessary -- and the article discusses whether omitting formally-unnecessary features like var or const makes for more clarity and elegance, or less.

(Having said which, I notice that there's a reply from the person who actually wrote the article, and it doesn't say that. But that's why he should have made the reference :-).)

Good to point that out, although the url is different than the previous discussion.
FWIW, the upgrade process works very well. If your current setup doesn't have any issues, I wouldn't bother with a full repave.

I've upgraded a half dozen machines from 8.x to 10 throughout the past several months and all of them have gone smoothly. The only real issue I've had is that I needed to reinstall the driver for my ScanSnap scanner after one of the upgrades.

All I can say is that Dubya Bush is lucky he went to school before Facebook and Twitter existed. Even so, some of those party photos still made it out to the public.

The same goes for Bill "didn't inhale" Clinton.

My imaginary black-hat that hangs out on my shoulder whispers into my ear that part of the political vetting process is now either finding and securing the existing blackmail material or manufacturing some via tricks and traps. Anyone who does not have a readily-pulled lever is prevented from appearing in the news cycle, or simply libeled and slandered.

My imaginary white-hat says that virtuous folk simply choose not to dirty their hands with politics. A person who does not compromise his principles cannot compromise enough to be effective in the halls of power.

I think they may both be right.

The lesson is more "watch who are you are being an idiot around" or "don't be an idiot in public". The content of the messages were not wrong so much as they were taken out of context. What one hears during a comedy show, or during a conversation among friends does not translate well to a public venue/audience.
A big advantage that FPGAs have is that they are fast at "single threaded" tasks so they can parse data in formats that aren't easy to parse quickly, like the XML-based FIX protocol.
Currently Ops, Systems, and UI are our big needs. Great ML folks are always welcome as well!

I think vim is especially well-suited to front-end dev, as it is one of the software areas that doesn't depend heavily on an IDE (as opposed to, say, Java). For me, vim keybindings are wired into my brain after a few years of use, and it lightens my cognitive load, just as it is stated in TFA. So, to answer your question:

> Why not just use a good, well-rounded editor like Sublime or Atom, or even Eclipse, for that matter..?

- Sublime: Closed-source.
- Eclipse: I don't need that big of an environment just for editing text.
- Atom: That one actually tempts me. I gave it a try, with the vim keybindings plugin, and it had a slight delay when executing commands that made me go away. I'm keeping a close eye on neovim integration, though; it sounds very promising.
