Unreal has GC support for C++.

Unfortunately Unity broken GC is a side effect of them not wanting to improve the stone age runtime they are using.

I guess many AAA could actually be done in languages with GC support, but game devs tend to only change tools when the OS/console vendors force them.

All that is needed is having such a vendor pushing a language with the same effort as they are pushing for JavaScript JITs, lets say.

12 years later, people are still playing Halo PC.

I bring this up because in a genre (FPS) that has so many evolutions, so many releases, it's amazing how dedicated a community can be. It's incredible.

ps. if anyone played I probably know you. I know there is a certain Eric who runs a rather successful startup who played quite religiously... :)
SEEKING WORK - Thailand / remote only

I'm a software developer with 6 years of experience. I've mastered many technologies, and enjoy learning new things. I'm most familiar with Ruby on Rails, Postgres, MySQL, Javascript/HTML/CSS, Backbone.js, Go, Swift, and Objective C.

Some testing libraries that I love working with:

Ruby: RSpec, Capybara, VCR, TimeCop

JavaScript: Mocha, expect.js, sinon.js

iOS: Quick + Nimble (Swift), KIF, OHHTTPStubs

I'm not as proficient with the following languages/frameworks, but I have some experience with: Elixir, Phoenix, Haskell, Clojure, React, React Native, AngularJS. (Mostly toy projects.)

If you work with any of these technologies, I would like to offer my services at a lower rate until I get up to speed, i.e. as a junior developer.
I pick things up very quickly, especially if you already have an established codebase.

I also have a lot of DevOps experience. I'm proficient with:

AWS - VPC, EC2, S3, IAM, Route 53, CloudFront, Elastic Transcoder, SNS, Lambda

Configuration Management: Chef, SaltStack, Ansible

PaaS / BaaS: Heroku, Parse

Another thing I would like to mention is that I really enjoy is tracking down difficult bugs. Some developers hate them, but I see them as super fun puzzles, and I don't stop until they're solved. I'm proficient with a wide variety of profiling and debugging tools. So let me know if you're stuck on anything, and would like some help.

Bigger than those names, might be companies in the finance industry (the largest economic sector in London, if not the entire UK) which shouldn't wish to a lower levels of encryption available to protect information flows critical to their businesses. The EFF or other activists should be lobbying that industry's leaders to explain what's at risk here. The finance industry has a much stronger sway with the UK gov't than your standard privacy advocates.
>why exactly have there never been any arrests made using the data?

To clarify the statements in press have been that no terrorists have been arrested based on the data. That is not the same as never having arrests.

There have been plenty of domestic arrests but they don't typically fall under the "terrorism" scope because of the nature of the act. Espionage etc... can be proven with this data and actions can be taken (like arrests) more quickly and easily than determining if someone is going to attack something a la terrorism.

I have no involvement in this case but I would say almost for certain that portions of surveillance in this case went to FISA for approval: http://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-we-arrested-a-russian-spy...

A gripe I have with the community at large is that the messaging focuses too much on terrorism and not enough on the other functions that are seeing successes everyday (counterintelligence etc...).
IANAL... There is some difference between "I found this coat that says 'property of Sally Smith' on the label (Sally Smith was a guest at my dinner party over the weekend), well, off to the secondhand clothing store!" and "there is a pile of computer-type equipment in one of our closets, and we're going to sell or toss some of the stuff we aren't using". I don't think the latter case is a crime in any jurisdiction. Keep in mind that a device like this will have no identifying marks, because that would defeat the whole purpose.
There was a discussion earlier [0] regarding the new "free, ad-supported radio" [1]. I've used Google Music quite a bit, and I particularly enjoyed the Explore functionality and the ability to see new releases and similar on a sub-genre level.

Maybe your notion of what "A note from [company]'s CEO" can mean is too specific.

It is the original title, it is a note and it's from the CEO. I think speaking and taking things literally should be the default.

I certainly think Apple would sell a lot of 17" MBPs that were thick enough to house an optical drive or extra battery in the space.

But I love the new rMBPs, and I suspect more pros enjoy the weight savings, battery life, and fantastic displays than are irked by the lack of an optical drive.
I agree with the fact that systemd is not a distribution to be honest however when I play devil's advocate I can totally see the reason they should be considered a vendor.

Suppose it is all interpretations at the end of the day :(
What do you really want? You want the best people you can get.

If women are under-represented in tech, there should be better women available than men. If you can find them and hire them, you can get an edge on your competition, not because they're female, but because they're better. That's worth some effort.

But the mindset should be in trying to find the best people, and suspecting that some of the best people are in under-represented groups, and therefore spending more effort looking at under-represented groups, rather than in "we have to hire an X for balance/diversity".

I suppose that there can be an argument made that justice demands looking harder at under-represented groups, but greed is a more consistent motivator. There are good people in the under-represented groups. Find them and use them to stomp on your competitors who won't look at those groups.
>> CD Drive

It's 2015. Very, very few people need that.

>> Ethernet

Probably should be on a pro laptop but again it's not used very much anymore.

>> 17" screen

Doesn't the addition of retina resolution to the 15" make up for this?

Also this is nothing to do with the new MacBooks as those things have been gone for quite a while now.

Salt dev here. :]

Salt does not force you into YAML/Jinja2. It has a pluggable rendering system that includes out-of-the-box support for thin DSLs, like PyDSL and PyObjects. It's also straightforward to add additional renderers if you like:\

Sorry, I'm not going to be offended on your behalf. I support your message, I understand that it can be offensive, and would never do this but asking people to be offended because you are offended is just ridiculous.
These processes are inconsistent. The company can be picky but so can the candidate if they are good. More often than not, companies are approaching the good software engineers to work for them and not the other way around.

You end up with this bizarre recruiting process, which I have seen many times, where some company approaches me about working for them because I am one of the best and most experienced in my field, and once I agree to talk to them they treat me like some idiot developer who rolled in off the street. The idea that they would waste a bunch of my time "challenging" me, paid or not, is just bizarre.

I can see it for developers with little experience. But no sane person wants to build a team with nothing but inexperienced developers which means you need to learn how to recruit highly skilled software engineers. The outlined process is a recipe for annoying them.
Thanks a ton! :) I realize i need to be a little more caring towards my goals too. I enjoyed your advice and it helped, thanks again :)
SparX - San Mateo, CA - Full Time

I'm an all-around programmer who is interested in different technologies and languages with an experience of around 6 years.
I've been earning a living as a full-time freelancer for the last 3 years up till now living far home. I'm also stoked about functional programming, finance (including crypto-currencies) and information security.

I don't just do programming. Rather I solve your problem choosing the most appropriate tool and technology.

Thanks && Cheers!
Yeah, this is pretty much the Streisand Effect for spooks. I'd imagine the efforts they'll put into cracking the encryption and triangulating the end user after someone reports the appearance of a mystery box in their cafe/library make the user's communications several orders of magnitude more likely to be listened in on and their identity several orders of magnitude more likely to be exposed than someone who just encrypts their communications and doesn't use the internet at home.

It sounds like you need a desktop.
Forget about empty space and light, by far the most significant curvature in human experience is the curavature of the Earth's surface You only need to travel by boat or air (and maybe automobile), or set up some mirrors to bounce light around the Earth (for example: radio), to gain an appreciation of that curvature. But travelling on foot, the curvature is not really noticeable.
The component in question is using component local state, so that resets on mount/unmount. That said, it would be very easy to embed one that instead used flux, and state would be preserved.
I don't think the edit worked.

If I read your comment, with my best guess as to what it said before the edit applied, it makes sense.

As it stands now, with the edit applied, it reads as if you don't think attorneys are supposed to express opinions on the philosophical issues or societal goals behind the laws, which is a bizarre notion.

And since HN does not report edit times on comments, I cannot tell which responses were pre-edit and which post-edit. (Not that reporting edit times would help much, since HN stops reporting minutes on comment times once they are an hour old...).

Several responses I agree with if they were posted before the edit, and strongly disagree with if they were posted after. And several more I agree with if they were posted after, and strongly disagree with if they were posted before!
I animated these tentacles using Perlin noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMwJXP8EOU4

(By manipulating the available variables in a Bezier curve.)
That was quite the rant. There's a bunch of stuff to object to in it, but limiting my criticism to the complaint that perplexes me the most frequently: ...Why are people so caught up on the number of connectors? Why is it difficult to have a hub at your desk to plug your accessories into? When I'm at work, generally need more screen real estate than when I'm relaxing at home. Is it that unreasonable to assume that the vast majority of professionals work from the same desk each day and so can deal with having a hub or some external monitors for the time they're doing actual work?

[edit: grammar/wording]
This has nothing to do with stopping terrorists. I'm pretty sure Cameron is not a stupid person and has consulted with experts on the matter, and there's no way anybody with any kind of clue is going to think it's possible to stop terrorists from using strong crypto.

No, this sounds like playing the Terrorist wild card to ensure the common people don't get crypto. Cameron probably fears that your average (criminal) Joe, with the help of tech companies, transparently gets to use crypto. Crypto is getting to easy to use.
> Why did you exclude the comment where he said that the google servers are bad and he would accept any servers which is better?

Because the quotes I presented were done so in context to provide a summary of why the caustic terms were used. I added my own opinion after a demarcation so that the duality would be clear.

It's funny that the quote you present both supports many people's belief that "he makes whatever decisions he can and everyone has to live with it", while still trying to play the "gee wiz, systemd isn't a product" card.
This is a very cool initiative. But then, I maybe biased.
I'd love a 17" rMBP. It would still be lighter than the older 15" MBPs with optical drives.

I'm sure there are some pro users who need ethernet ports (e.g. for tethered shooting with a pro camera body at sporting events where wifi is not even an option).
