How Multiple Payment Methods Help Increase Conversions
Think hard: Can you take control of your work and mutate it into something you care about and gives you a degree of satisfaction?

If not, take another job and leave now. Don't hang on, be willing to help find your replacement, be honest and up front.

If there is a chance that you can take control and change the job then go to your boss and say what you think should happen to make the company stronger, better, and offer to help them do that.

If they don't enter a conversation with you about it: leave.

If nothing seems to be happening within days: leave. Accept no excuse.

But if things improve, you've made your job better and helped the company.

But don't feel bad about leaving. You've done some work, you've been paid for that work at the agreed rate, and so you owe them nothing.

Be prepared to try to take control of your own work, and your own future. You are of value - the job offers make that clear - and if your current company doesn't agree, then agree to part.
Oh, thanks, I'll do that now!
Why would anyone do anything for their community with that attitude?

If I were a moderately successful 70-year-old with that attitude, I'd blow my money on vacations or cars before I died instead of leaving money to parks, schools, or starting a scholarship fund.
I think you might underestimate how bloody the American Civil War was, especially since it was 50 years before the improved killing technologies of WW1.
Thanks for your comment, You are right it was completely my mistake to accept this job before knowing exactly what's my responsibilities.
I was promised that at least I'll spent 80% my time coding and 20% supporting, but in the past two months it was always bug fixing and boring server management stuff ..

Yeah I'm permanent , at-least it gives me a bit of peace of mind if they haven't paid full cash to recruitment agency.
I'm going to talk with my manager today but as you said I don't think they have anything more interesting to offer.
Mount data, logs, configuration, eventual extensions in the data container?

For pg, there might be some migration needed when jumping from a major version to the next. Which requires both versions installed, on Debian at least.
As the other comment says, Gravity's Rainbow is about the V-2s; but I also recall that there is an element regarding the map of Slothrop's sexual adventures matching nicely to the map of V-2 strikes. (Well, I think I recall--it has been a long time since I read the book.)
The main problem with nim is that you can't really pair it with Python whereas you can have Rust and Python call each other if you want.
By tradition the HoL won't block laws which a party ran on during an election. So because the Tories ran on this, it massively curtails what the Lords can do unless they break from tradition (which is highly unlikely).

All the Lords can do, is amend it and send it back to the commons until they're happy. And typically they only do that if they feel there are legal problems (e.g. ECHR/EU challenges).

So I guess what I am saying is: Don't expect the Lords to block this. If it is a manifesto promise they cannot/will not.
Sure. Still haven't seen the evidence that they made money of of them.
>For eg, to get into IIM or IIT (equivalents of Harvard or MIT in US), you need more then just knowledge to get selected amongst hundreds of thousands.

This is untrue. They all have competitive examinations that are open to anyone. There is affirmative action after admission which is the only non-merit part of it. Generally in India, there is age discrimination when it comes to enrolling in schools. There are age limits. Of course examinations are not indicative of actual potential but then we need a quantifiable way to select students. I am also Indian and have participated in these examinations. Also, I never thought IIMs/IITs are Harvard/MIT. Year over year rankings of universities around the world indicate they are nowhere closer. So let's get real there as well.
Can Technology Get Kids to Play Outside?
Incorrect. Wine is based on Windows documentation of Windows APIs. There is no practical way to "discover" an API.
I used Falcon for a relatively large project and enjoyed using it. It is noticeably faster than Flask and I can write code faster as well. It is very much still growing and features are being added. They call Flask "Batteries not included" but Falcon takes that to another level. There are also not very many extensions in comparison to Flask. If you are writing an API exclusively, I would choose Falcon. However, if you have any HTML/CSS/JS, Falcon is probably not suited for the project.

EDIT: Both are very good.
The SG is a subcabinet Justice Department official, not part of the Executive Office of the President (White House).
I'd say it's both. Starting with the constraint: Employees must be in the office, so I know they're working, the cheapest option is an open plan.
FYI: £26k is not average for 3 years experience. I know kids straight out of coding bootcamps that started on £10k more than that.
Sure. But if we're talking about using a PDF as "slides" like bhartzer mentioned, it's always going to be made somewhere else and published. Unless they draw the entire thing out of annotations in Acrobat.

Which I can now imagine someone doing. Gross.
After 14 years working remotely in a home office I worked at Google in 2013 in an open office. It was an adjustment but I enjoyed it. I shifted my work hours to 6:15am to 4pm for a few hours of quiet work time everyday. Also, there were many places to work away from my desk. Most managers seemed to have more private work spaces.
Not sure if you were being facetious, but you actually misunderstood the question (I think).

>The trick is to get people to care about their security.

Its 2015. If security isn't a priority by a project, then that project is just incompetent. That may be harsh sounding, but are we really talking about security as optional with internet facing services? This is what happens when devs build their own systems without the experience of being a sysadmin. There's a lot of kitchen sink and duct tape "does it work? Yes, then we're done," mentalities at play here. Not enough people are worrying about maintainability and upgradability.

Heck, most of these things ship with everything running as root. Its like we've regressed to the 90s with Docker and Docker-like technologies.
Indeed, and typing out the query really doesn't take that long.

It does affect the initial experience though. The admin panel looks so slick I just assumed I would be able to click on the table and it would jump to the data. When it didn't I was surprised and initially blamed myself and fired up the console to see if there were any errors showing. It just affects the polish of the panel.

As I said though it is a minor point for an excellent product.
E-commerce is a numbers game. Look beyond e-comm and there are plenty of promising product based companies-- Freshdesk, helpshift, zoho, boomerang commerce, indix, pubmatic, zomato, common-floor, housing etc. I think you're being overly pessimistic about the tech scene in India. Flipkart has already made a lot of millionaires, and when other unicorns start going public, we'd start seeing a lot of wealthy individuals that'd turn investors themselves. The key is that critical mass, which I think the Indian tech scene (4th largest in the world in terms of capital, behind US, UK, and China) has already achieved.

Why not let it happen? Why not just completely destroy everyone's understanding of how permission to use certain types of code work, and then force everyone to just abandon the US copyright system for software completely? Let this happen and just let it destroy the system from the inside out.
Native British English speaker here. The question is not at all clear. It might be a test to see if the candidate says "can you rephrase the question?".

Bullshit. Native Brits have red hair and blue eyes, if there to be any such thing as a native - and the Picts came from what is now the North Sea - should we "send them back"? The habitants of this island are Normans, Romans, Vikings, Huguenots, Calvinists and many others who invaded or fled to Britain.

No such thing as a native.
I think Julia gets unfairly pigeonholed. It's got a great concurrency story, for example. I know what you mean though, it always seems to be the language I'll write my "next" project in.

I disagree with comments saying it is outdated. It is not. Choose your audience, choose your stack.

Is COBOL/DB2 outdated? Probably, but not sufficiently so to mean companies have moved their infrastructure away from it. There are good jobs to be found in mainframe land, many, and in great demand with great reward.

Java is probably not COBOL in audience, but it is engrained in a lot of enterprises, or as another commenter mentioned, even Android. It is here to stay.
My preference has always been a shared workspace with the option for coders to pick up their computer and head outside to a coffee shop or unoccupied conference room or something to hack away in the zone when they felt like it.

This worked especially well when our startup was based out of a coworking space that had lots of temporary private spaces for individuals aside from the per-company office rental, when we were just four people.
I've found that just running Facebook's mobile site in Chrome works pretty well for most purposes.
I believe at first, SpaceX was squeezed out. SpaceX sued the government as choosing a monopoly. The government then went back on that to allow SpaceX to play.

There has been a lot of commentary in the news as to why SpaceX may not have been chosen. They don't have the track record that the current "monopoly" has. Even though SpaceX can deliver cheaper, these loads aren't nearly as price sensitive as commercial loads. SpaceX hasn't yet shown they can deal with increased load of launches.
Thanks for your comment, Its a small agency but five managers observing and interfering into everything, Iv'e tried to change things, I know I'm not perfect but my experience didn't matter to them and they decided to do things as they were.

you made me feel better.
I've switched from Python to Elixir. Python was my favorite language. I fell in love with functional programming after trying out Scala and spent a fair amount of time after trying out different languages to see which one was a good fit for me. Elixir is that language for me. When I start talking about it I seem to go on and on so I'll stop there.

I'm also a fan of rust and plan to use it for more system level programming as well. I think its going to open the door to systems programming for more people and I'm excited to see what comes out of it. Also, as someone who has done a fair bit of C/C++, I'm happy to see an alternative.
Which is your right. If you want to do anything for yours or any other community, go ahead!

I personally feel no greater obligation to help other Jews (I happen to be Jewish) than I do to help any other ethnicity in any other country.

And just by the happenstance that I happen to have been born in 1 country (in which I no longer live) I feel no stronger obligation to mark that country as my community rather than another.

Lots of people in our organisation equate non-open offices (in our case, cubes with high walls) with a we've-always-done-things-this-way attitude. And with a lack of transparency, the desire not to share 9and so remain vital) etc. However in our UK office we have the opposite - our development room is like a 1980s trading floor, impossible to focus for more than a few minutes at a time even with sweaty decent headphones.

Work-from-home is the way forward - LINQ combined with trust mean I can work in my pyjamas. Win!

No I mean nationalise as in transfer from private to state ownership or control.

Most of the UK was nationalised at some point in time but I had a stab at how successful centrally planned economy was in East Germany from the worker's perspective here.
Actually, formats and languages are not, but the generated machine code is copyright protected as a "derivative work". This is how binaries enjoy copyright protection, because they are "derived" from copyright-protected human-produced code. I think that's a bit crazy that a potentially useful product by itself has no intrinsic protection.

As for method signatures, at a human readable level, they are as protected as any other code. Note that copyright protects expression rather than what the code does. So File.open(fname) and open(fname, 'r') and new File(fname) are all different expressions of the concept of "open a file with a given name)". The concept is not covered, but the specific expression is. Of course, a single method is not sufficient, but this case involves a collection of hundreds of such signatures.
Very good piece. I am sure the Author is quite a pleasant person and all, but I really hate her just for going to the Beats store. She got what she deserves.
US is actually quite a bit of a tax heaven for non US citizens.

It is easy to incorporate in US and there are various advantages to sheltering your non US generated assets in US.
Simple example, think of all those shell corps owning apartments in Manhattan.

European Wars (such as the Netherlands war), collapsing internal industries resulting in a shift from exporter to importer, internal revolts like the Moricos Revolt, and lack of investment in industry, and Phillip's penchant for foolish and grandiose national project bankrupted Spain.

Throw in a couple of plagues and failed crops as salt in the wounds and that's a wrap.

The massive influx of bouillon and spoils from the Americas were the only thing that kept up the facade for any length of time. Spain's problems were entirely domestic.

At least according to the history books I've read.
Agreed. The Binary lambda calculus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_lambda_calculus

features this universal machine:

(λ11)(λλλ1(λλλλ3(λ5(3(λ2(3(λλ3(λ123)))(4(λ4(λ31(21))))))
(1(2(λ12))(λ4(λ4(λ2(14)))5))))(33)2)(λ1((λ11)(λ11)))

which parses a binary-encoded lambda term and evaluates its application to the remaining input bits.

How come these problems with land prices are only in the UK? It's not like in Canada, Australia, or even India where land prices will go down and become more affordable or increase proportionately to income? There's a very well known land price problem in Melbourne, Vancouver, Sydney.

I think the newspapers in the UK have done a great job of exploiting everyone's grievances with house prices.

Some countries actually dream of having house price increases, I might want to point that out. It is a way to create wealth and increase standards of living very effectively.

>Print money

This phrase seems to imply they literally print money and everyone seems to pile on. Surely you know at the end of QE they will be removing the money from the system in the same way they added it in. QE ended in the UK ages ago.
The most important text in this Supreme Court ruling is this:

> District courts have the authority and responsibility to ensure that frivolous
> cases—brought by companies using patents as a sword to go after defendants for
> money—are dissuaded, though no issue of frivolity has been raised here.
> Safeguards — including, e.g., sanctioning attorneys for bringing such suits, see
> Fed. Rule Civ. Proc. 11 — combined with the avenues that accused inducers have
> to obtain rulings on the validity of patents, militate in favor of maintaining
> the separation between infringement and validity expressed in the Patent Act.
> Pp. 13–14

In the past, the district courts have failed utterly to fulfill this responsibility, and I question whether they have the de facto authority. The cited Rules of Civil Procedure - https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_11 - are not a sufficient tool for the courts to fulfill this responsibility with. While this ruling makes it clear that they must do something, it seems as though it obligates them to invent new legal theories.
> A sibling of yours mentioned a trace extension but said people don't expect it to be fast so nobody is bothering.

That's a bit of a misrepresentation of what I said. I don't know about TRACE in particular (which is not an extension but a core part of the language), but the sbcl developers in particular have been very attentive to the performance of development tools like that. (And, probably, the commercial vendors, as well.)

That was a really interesting introduction. I hadn't looked at Rust before and that gave me a good feel for it. Thanks for putting it together, Armin.

A minor peeve of mine is examples between languages that differ in ways that are unimportant (though maybe it can just justified as "idiomatic code"). It adds bias to the demonstration.

We could have written the python one like the following to wrap the lock up with the results structure (and get the automatic sorting behaviour, too):

import queue
from threading import Thread

def fib(num):
return 1 if num < 2 else fib(num - 2) + fib(num - 1)

def thread_prog(results, i):
rv = fib(i)
results.put((i, rv))

def main():
results = queue.PriorityQueue()
threads = [Thread(target=thread_prog, args=(results, i)) for i in range(35)]
[t.start() for t in threads]
[t.join() for t in threads]
while not results.empty():
i, rv = results.get()
print("fib({}) = {}".format(i, rv))

Though, I've also taken other liberties to make it shorter. I normally stay away from threading in python because the GIL makes it a bit of a waste of time in most cases, and who needs the complexity in their lives?

Again, thanks for the overview, I enjoyed it.
Don't feel bad for them. Their recruiting process failed, or their internal processes have failed, if they brought someone in and can't make them happy. They're a business. Mistakes happen. It won't put them out of business to lose you - especially if you give them a comfortable notice.

The presumption of validity is ingrained in the patent system. Otherwise, what would a patent grant mean?

I've been involved with my own patents and other patents long enough to see the patent office become relatively less rigorous than when I first started patenting things.

The response could be to weaken the meaning of a patent grant. Maybe the answer is for the government to offer a bounty to overturn grants of patents. But that implies the patent office would be any better at filtering challenges to patents than they are at filtering applications.

Great article. We'll need a better integration of security tracking and handling in our containerized infrastructure soon.

You have to be a little bit careful when it comes to version numbers and matching them to security issues. Most linux distributions for example apply security patches to older releases.

E.g. Ubuntu 14.04LTS comes with Apache 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4 which one might parse as 2.4.7 which has multiple security issues.

The article references to distribution specific vulnerability ratings so I assume they als matched those versions correctly.
Thanks for the feedback.

It took several hours. After an hour of examination of the data and research into the problem at their office I opted to make it a 'take home' test. They agreed and I worked on it the next day (hence the e-mail conversation).
At my current workplace, we have a shared room for the developers and designers (5-9 people depending on the day and time), while the rest (~20 people) are spread in other bigger open spaces. I find that it works well, because we are mostly stationary and focused on a specific task, while the rest (sales, marketing, customer development, etc.) are constantly moving around, in meetings, visiting customers.

In a mostly-tech company I couldn't imagine not having some compartments so that you don't suddenly find yourself 1 among 30 people in the same room - I'd go completely insane.
