I never realized that Android has almost 90% market share here in Brazil. I wonder how many of those are low-end devices that don't just run the same apps that a quadcore, 2gb ram device runs.
Please, see my other comment, to avoid lengthy repeat, but in short, yes, the goal of the initiative is to grow and yes to be open to other companies that are developing Erlang products at the core of their business.

Yet another javascript slide system which fails at what I consider one of of primary requirement of a slide system:

Actually displaying the content of each slide, when viewed at different aspect ratios.

I can't imagine doing a presentation with this -- all it takes is one weird aspect ratio projector and half your talk disappears off the bottom.

Keep in mind, being an employee doesn't automatically entail the "benefits" people think of (e.g. health insurance). Instacart is only allowing their in-store employees to work up to 30hrs/week, since that's the cutoff for having to provide health insurance.

The real costs are (1) employer's share of FICA taxes (7.5%) and (2) workers compensation (which can get expensive in certain industries, though likely not outrageous for delivery).
I would imagine not, though the parent can speak for himself. I agree with what has been said before, that Go is a bold step backwards, just another language to replace large amounts of Legacy Enterprise Code with (sometimes) slightly less large amounts of (Soon To Be Legacy) Enterprise Code. Go has going for it corporate backing and a good community, but on the technical merits alone, there is a better language for every task.
Now that would actually be useful. We should take advantage of the proliferation of public wifi hotspots to build a mesh network that connects to them and brings wifi to the areas in between.
Good point.

It'd be easier to pull off today due to the fragmentation and fractalization of modern culture. By mining smallish, fringe, and new aesthetic movements you could portray a convincing future aesthetic to a mostly naive audience.

Popüler Sitelerin Kazançları
Thanks for the very interesting article. One thing I didn't find very clear from the paper was the rationale of using a framework/kitsune/all that wrapper code vs just implementing the feature natively. In other words, what is the upside of using kitsune to make e.g. redis live-upgradable vs just implementing it in redis proper [I believe that e.g. redis already uses a fork model for writing the data to disk/getting a snapshot of the data]? Is it much simpler when I am using kitsune? Do I really not have to reason about what happens when the binary upgrades? Or is this mostly useful for retro-fitting the feature to software that wasn't designed with the usecase in mind?

> However, I dislike it from a practical point of view,

How can you be disliking it from a practical point of view if you don't use it in practice? Don't you think it would be different if you tried actually learning Scheme for a week? Do you think it would still be unreadable to you after that week? Why do you think so?

Also, take a look at APL or J if you want to see "unreadable" language.
You are correct Sir. Oil and gas companies are rapidly adopting almost anything HTML5. Here's a demo gallery of some of what we do: http://www.int.com/products/html5-demo-gallery.html We're currently obfuscating the latest releases (including 3D).
Another good use is operational conditions. Like certain parts of the app have different consmption/scalability needs, or certain services doesn't ever change, if at all. We currently have parts of our monolith that change ALL THE TIME, other parts haven't been updated in years. I'd personally like to partition out the stable code.

Whenever I've used Sublime Text I've had great experiences with everything except trying to customize/setup my own packages. I think this is an excellent step in the direction of making Sublime Text a more out-of-the-box solution.
Exactly. You should really stop and do a re-think if you ever find yourself saying, "no, that didn't relieve your pain, it just produced a state observationally indistinguishable from lacking pain!"

Kinda like the people who say "shaving hair doesn't make it come back darker. That's a misconception. It just looks like it does ... when what you care about is looks."
Shipping Out – On the (nearly lethal) comforts of a luxury cruise [pdf]
"I've seen in AAA titles, it's dominated with bland orchestral ambientals. There's still no adaptive phrasing, AI composition, and really no intelligence behind it all."

AAA is in a sort of ironic position for this sort of thing, because on the one hand, they're the games dripping with money during development, and on the other hand, the games least able to innovate on things like music because if a manager has to choose between "3 more guns" or "adaptive music engine", the AAA manager will choose "3 more guns in DLC" every time.

I don't expect a full-industry crash like 1984 but I could see an AAA-crash sometime in the next few years. Their monomaniacal focus on such a narrow sliver of the possibility space for games while trying to bash each other over the head with MORE MORE MORE is still sustainable, but one does wonder how long they can keep it up.

If you go Indie, "music game" is it own subgenre and there are a variety of takes on the question of how to more richly incorporate music into the game. The entire "Bit.Trip" series is pretty good at incorporating music as a direct effect of the player's actions; it's not really "composing" anything but it's still quite viscerally pleasing. There's a lot of variants on musical shooters where the music somehow ties into gameplay.

Rhythm tag on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/tag/en/Rhythm/#&p=0&tab=NewRel...
That's not really true, it doesn't run by default, the user is prompted and warned about possible malicious scripts AND they run them anyway. All you have to do is put instructions/picture in the doc telling the user to click that button to see the content, and they usually will. Users are simply ignorant of the dangers, that's the problem and it's always been the problem and that's unlikely to change.
Is there an particular set of aspect ratios this is failing at that I can test against? This is 0.0.1 so theres still a couple of loose ends.

Ask HN: US startups 5-30 employees, do they hire people without a work permit?
I'm talking about really serious candidates that are very favorable over others with experience in your specific startup market, experienced in the technology, founded a startup before, raised money. Do such startups put effort to do so or they always hire ones with work permits.

Do they hire such candidates remotely? (do you need to have a Visa to be hired remotely if you're not from the US?)
> A friend of mine sort of popped that bubble long ago when he pointed out that Star Trek is exclusively told from the point of view of military starships with world-destroying weapons.

That's not actually factually true; while military [0] crew perspective is the norm for the franchise, there are episodes of every series (at least, every series other than TOS; I'm not sure there is a good TOS example) that are told primarily from outside of that perspective.

> Think that might be a biased perspective?

Every perspective is biased. A "perspective" is just a name for a set of biases.

> Would the "Singapore in space" federation really be a good place to live?

I can see arguments on either side of whether the Federation would be a good place to live (though mostly weak arguments on either side, since we have thin and conflicting information on what life in the Federation, particularly outside of Starfleet, is actually like.)

OTOH, I can't see a good basis for the "Singapore in space" description.

> Ever notice that there's basically no culture, music, or art?

Though culture, music, and art are rarely the focus of the stories told in the franchise, there's considerable evidence that they are present; there's quite a lot interaction between the focal characters and culture, musical, or artistic events and works in the course of the various series.

You might make a case that what is shown in that regard is heavily focused on nostalgia rather than new culture/music/art, and that this is particularly true when it comes to Earth-centered human culture, but one might debate the extent to which that is intended to be what the Federation is really like on average vs. the extent to which it is what the series focusses on as an artistic device to engage the audience and provide familiar references.

[0] Noting that "military" may be somewhat disputed as Starfleet personnel in several episodes outright deny that that Starfleet is military, despite the military ranks, courts-martial, etc.
I also like the immersive nature of it too. I think that there will be some transition time from a lot of folks, transitioning from a "reading" stories the web to "watching" stories the web.
StackShare - Lead Engineer (Rails) - San Francisco Bay Area ONSITE

StackShare lets you see all the best software tools and who’s using them. We’re building LinkedIn for the $150B B2B software industry, starting with dev tools. We’re the only site that lets companies share and discuss their entire software stack from their programming languages, to their cloud infrastructure, all the way up to their CRM.

We growing fast with startups like Instacart, Coursera, Stack Exchange, Docker, Firebase, and Twilio using our site to share the software they use and connect with developers. We’re revenue positive and we have an awesome group of angel investors including the creator of the Heroku Add-Ons Marketplace and Airbnb’s 1st Employee.

Our stack: Ruby/Rails/Postgres/JS/HAML: http://stackshare.io/careers#stack

We’re looking to bring on our 1st full-time engineer. You’ll work alongside me, the founder/product lead, and two other team members.

You’ll be able to make your own daily schedule and work wherever you’re most comfortable (in the Bay area) 4/5 days of the week. Email me at yonas@stackshare.io, I’d love to hear from you!
I think you misunderstand. The customers (people buying tickets) are using their own computers, their own internet connection, and their own printers (with that oh-so-cheap ink) to buy and print their event tickets these days. So Ticketmaster is no longer supplying all that specialized equipment to the stores and no longer has those costs.
Intel's marketing materials helped me misunderstand. Unless the OS is leveraging that logic when it calculates which CPU to park.

Does any OS know that unparked CPU clock speeds might increase when they park a CPU?

"The fact that she’s a woman

How she’s such a role model for other women
How she’s the “first woman to…”"

The irony is that the same feminist groups that are fighting for more women in science mention at least half of these in articles about trying to get more women in science.
