Just to answer the narrow question you ask: If you want to do a variety of work in your next job, then your best bet is an early stage startup. They will value the breadth more than larger companies, for obvious reasons. (Working at a startup though, has its own risk profile and pros/cons to consider).

This comes from my own experience. I majored in general CS, and worked in a variety of things at different kinds of companies, with no real specialization. Box.com, then a series A/B company, valued that breadth. I was a kid in a candy store.

More importantly though, you need to find a team that you like working with. When you're working with people that inspire you, it's less about specialization or not; you'll want to do anything to make it successful.

Legacy software and installations should be no excuse to be bug compatible to this level for recent versions and patches.
Neat! This looks like Slack, but free. Fair comparison?

> Earthlings, go outside tonight and look at the rare and spectacular conjunction of Venus and Jupiter (about one-third of a degree apart).

Venus is the brightest object (after Moon and Sun) in the sky now. Just nearby is Jupiter (very bright too). You can observe this spectacular view all summer long.

So you know now, what was that enormously bright star in the sky!
Interesting. All the DoD systems we interface with run Windows. There may be a mixture, we just don't work with those systems.
"The ZIP+4 code was implemented when it became difficult to sort mail based only on traditional ZIP codes, but it never quite caught on."

This is totally false. Zip+4 addressing (and, for bulk mail, presorting by Zip+4) is required for the best mail rates. Zip+4 is generally not written in by the consumer (I do, but I'm a geek who's done mailhouse work), but it's endemic otherwise.

I bet a fair share of any reader's outbound mail here uses zip+4 as well - just look at the return envelopes/labels for bills, etc. that are done via mail.
Are you implying that 3DR drones use a different software?
"We can't afford it" is the mating call of the business owner/MBA. I've worked for ten companies over the course of my life (small business to mid size), none of them could ever afford anything (unless it was a vacation or a luxury vehicle). The fact is they don't want to spend any money and expect Microsoft to honor their $120 office purchase with free updates for the next few centuries. Fuck em, they can pay or get there data stolen by Chinese teenagers.

I can definitely see how AGPL would give legal departments a collective heart attack. It's quite onerous, if triggered, and who wants to risk their job for a stupid piece of software?

Better to ban it from the organisation.
Venus appears to be the only thing keeping Mars and Jupiter from going to war.

Well, that and the asteroid belt.

Brakes are used far less in a Tesla than a normal car. Regenerative breaking means they wear very slowly. Besides tires, I have yet to pay anything for servicing my Teslas — combined 36k miles on them. The electric motors have MTBFs in the 100s of thousands of miles.

Many libraries have functional equivalents in other languages. Is there some python library that's so awesome it would have no equivalent in Haskell? (If you say "NumPy" I think you're veering into framework territory.)

This is just heartbreaking. If you're inclined to take a dim view of human progress, think about where we started. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice, and all that.
This is how I used to get around Novell NetWare in high-school to run compilers and learn programming. Funny to see it still exists.

Keep in mind that car UI systems are regulated like crazy. For example, Android Auto doesn't actually allow the independent app developer to make their own UI. You can choose from a few pre-approved templates and bind your own data in, but you can't differentiate because it might cause driver distraction.
How Webflow got into Y Combinator
These are always useful reminders. It's easy to get so lost in designing a system that you forget the perspective of the user, which is what really matters.

One of my current favorites is Rocksmith (guitar learning software), where upon exiting you are prompted with "Do you wish to continue? Yes/No". You as the user need to essentially state, "Yes, I would like to continue...exiting the program". This is right next to another menu option that I sometimes accidentally select which prompts me to "Quit", which in fact just brings up the "select profile" screen. It does boggle the mind how some things like this get all the way to production.
If you modify the source, the AGPLv3 requires you to "prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network" the ability to download the modified source. As far as I can tell, that includes anyone who can so much as view the login screen - there's no minimum level of interaction required - which means that even people who are only running Mailpile for their own personal use are affected. It definitely doesn't just affect SaaS providers even though they were the main target of the clause.
Thanks for the update bucaran! If that's the case, I'm definitely going to dive deep in it; that's exactly what I've been hoping for in a next-gen build-tool (WebPack just doesn't do it for me)!
This was addressed in the DEP: https://github.com/django/deps/blob/master/accepted/0003-jav...

All else held equal, probably yes. Unfortunately all else is NOT held equal - genetic homogeneity is inversely correlated with population, and more people usually means more inequality.
Expensive-toy prices are just barely keeping demand down to levels they can supply. They're using that money to ramp up production and lower their future costs. The long-term plan is to sell to progressively cheaper segments of the market, as they get rolling.
Nobody has mentioned jsonb partial updates yet. This is huge and goes further in superseding MongoDB use cases. Previously you would have add your own locking mechanisms (or use SELECT ... FOR UPDATE) so read/modify/update could be performed atomically. Now it will be built in.
If, by "professionally established in leadership positions", you mean to refer to the fact that he had a medical degree, and had spent his prior career working on these problems, then yes, I agree.

That's exactly my point. But nothing you've cited is evidence that the man was rich (or even attempting to profit) from his work for the public good.
Does the same exploit work on Wine? It has its own implementation of packager.dll, which doesn't seem to have any blacklist. What happens if for instance Wine is being used to run Microsoft Office?
That's still like a couple of degrees (4 full moons) away so not sure how accurate it would be.

Still the thought of seeing literally the same stars on an alien world is blowing my mind. Just imagine the same sky, but different planet... wow

I'm not going to argue with all the reasons you think publishers are insane. However, I will argue with the comment that "selling prestige in 2015 is a ridiculous thought."

Offering prestige in 2015 is even more valuable than it has ever been. There is more research published than there has ever been, from all around the world. The amount of research information is increasing dramatically, just like it is with all information (blog posts, videos published, etc). The value of curation increases with the increase in content, it doesn't decrease. I don't know what the future holds when it comes to how curation is going to be done and how prestige will be awarded, but I'm certain that there will be some mechanism for separating good research from bad research and bestowing prestige. That isn't decreasing in value - on the contrary, it's increasing.
If it's Windows or Linux, then probably (hardware reqs haven't changed since 2010). Mac you're probably out of luck unless you use Wine.

Or pay a vendor to maintain it for you - I know Collabora will maintain versions of any age if you pay them to do so. May be cheaper to run a newer version for free and upgrade hardware/OS as needed, if you're insisting on the Mac version anyway.

You're not doing well on the rhetorical questions here ...

Nuclear power plants are of course more efficient and do not produce greenhouse gases. By switching to Thorium it would also be safer, cheaper and the waste would go away in 30 years.

An easier method than creating a star map is to use the brightest star in the sky (the sun) and an accelerometer. This is the method Opportunity uses to calibrate the gyroscopes/wheel encoders.

[source pg 4] https://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/publications/Reg_Willson/M...

"The attitude of the rover is based on measurements from two vector instruments: (1) accelerometers that determine the vector towards the center of gravity of Mars and (2) Pancam solar images that determine the vector to the Sun."
It's worth mentioning that the Transatlantic Slave Trade wasn't even the largest:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/slaver...

Taking millions of Africans and even one million Europeans as slaves doesn't quite mesh with the popular perception of Arabs as poor, helpless victims of Western imperialism.
We already stipulated that we're landing something on the surface. That could include a stationary transmitter, which satellites could use to periodically update their location and velocity.
Where can I find the figure in China, I'm very interested in it.
Anecdotally the reason I've heard a lot of execs switching their 7/5-series Bimmers over to Teslas, is that they can use the HOV lanes at any time. Around here that can save up to an hour of commute.

While the subsidies aren't nearly as extensive here, you do get a credit. There's also free charging stations in most of the suburbs, so electrical cost is near nill if you plug in all day at work, and your car is pretty much always fully charged.

But all that is dwarfed by the opportunity cost of the time highly paid professionals were sitting in traffic.

Instantaneous torque from startup also makes it feel blazing fast (the torque-curve is very different in IC vs. electric engines.)
Valid point. I guess I was thinking the HPC systems. Certainly every client-facing terminal is a Windows box. I don't know much about the network stack, but there's clearly a lot of Windows there too.

And by the same token let's judge trans-atlantic slave trade in the context of the terrible barbarism of human trafficking. Given how ancient and modern history is littered with instances of racially motivated massacres, one might think you could find a more accurate example from WW2 to illustrate the idea of a larger population destroying a smaller one on the basis of 'what if this is really necessary for the X people'. I understand that your point is a small expense today avoids a greater expense tomorrow. It's just that reasoning isn't normally extended to wide-scale murder/rape; though when it is it's usually mitigated with sentences that often begin, 'At the very least...'.
In the past I've used OLE regularly for Excel spreadsheets in AutoCAD drawings. Nothing else came close in terms of ease and reliability or standardization. OLE is a powerful technology and the complaint tastes a bit like "no one should use JavaScript because of XSS" on the palette. I mean just think what malicious input can do If passed to python in the shell.
In the sense that they guessed the rule correctly. The correct answer was the dominant hypothesis in my mind before I tried any sequences, and others here report the same.
There are definitely upsides and downsides. The vast majority of our systems are RHEL6, because that's what a vendor of ours supports. Since we have the infrastructure around to support RHEL6 (puppet modules, vm templates etc), most of our supporting systems are also RHEL6.

If we need newer features or packages, we spin up a CentOS7 or RHEL7 image which still isn't bleeding edge, but is significantly newer than RHEL6.

It's nice to have a bit of stability for apps and services that require it - but there's always the option of bringing newer versions online for the services that need it.

Speak for yourself, what do you do? Personally, I'll read anything that looks interesting, regardless of whether it's something I may be able to comment on.
This is actually one of the major reasons I read HN. Not so I can make myself feel stupid, per se; but to get better insights into things I don't experience in my offline life (job, friends, etc..) Just make sure you don't get caught up in feeling like your stupid. It's counterproductive, we all have different backgrounds and experiences. Some people here have highly specialized backgrounds but are completely oblivious to other areas. Some have 30 years experience in a field, some are brand new. I just try to learn more in my skillset and compare myself to myself only, incrementally getting better (at least thats the goal)
Some are small businesses that cannot afford to upgrade their PCs and are barely getting by.

I've done tech support for people still on XP, 2000, and Vista. I think if they run Vista they got a good chance to buy Windows 10 Pro for $164 but it will break compatibility with their Office Software and force them to do a fresh install.

A lot of business software is written for older versions of Office.

I tried to make a Virtual Machine creating service if a company has the licenses I can make a Virtual Box or QEMU virtual machine with the old version of Windows and Office in it if they give me their license keys and pay me for their labor. But nobody wants to do that yet.

I plan on running Linux on my main box at home and run Windows in virtual machines if Windows 10 ends up being buggy as all heck.

Sorry to hear you went through this on a regular basis. I know what you mean by the fleeting trepidation thing. Won't go into details, but I had a quite unnerving experience some weeks ago. Not pretty.
No worries, man. I think the comments are the most valuable part of posting. So actually my linking to a submission that yielded no comments was not valuable, but I guess it did lead another user to share a post that did have a discussion. Your submission had the right timing and sparked a discussion!

Venus too - and this is also why neither have water - no strong magnetic field to hold the heliopause at bay, so the solar wind blows water out of the atmosphere.
>all of the problems you just described can be solved by simply firing a bad employee or not hiring bad ones in the first place.

Hardly. If hiring and firing could effectively eliminate poor employees, there wouldn't be so many. As it is, only the most egregious are weeded out. Firing costly employees can be exceptionally difficult depending on local regulations and may not even be worth the trouble considering the risk of simply finding another costly employee. In a world where you more or less must work, low-quality job applicants are especially incentivized to misrepresent themselves. Basic income would divert many of these people out of the workforce and into their homes where they can do less damage.

>I'm still not following why paying them to do nothing is necessary.

They're already being payed to do nothing. They're just doing nothing at work where it costs businesses money, hurts the experience for customers/clients, and worsens the workplace for employees who really care about what they do. And at work they do worse than nothing: not only are they paid to do nothing, but they fill a position that could be filled by a productive employee. So while the business loses money on the employee, the whole machine is simultaneously thrown off balance by a missing cog. Usually fellow coworkers wind up compensating (paying) for this imbalance, with no extra reward. Best case scenario, the business manages to fire the employee. Then the individual either moves on to pilfer another company or goes on welfare. They don't just fall out of the system, they continue racking up costs while contributing nothing. Basic income would allow us to filter them out cheaply (letting low-quality "workers" opt-out instead of making businesses review, employ, and reject them) and fix their monthly cost relative to our economy. Meanwhile, our businesses would become leaner and more effective.

You can't eliminate leeches from society, but you can minimize their economic impact. It is less costly to pay them to stay home than to pay them to come to work where their costs are multiplied.
It could be set up years ahead of any significant ground presence, at a fairly small cost.

Even in the bbc article you posted they're being apologetic and trying to convince the reader that Islamic slavery was somehow exceptional. Great example of why Western narratives are essentially tone-deaf to Eastern Europeans. Can you imagine a respectable publication taking such a tone towards Southern slave owners and not getting into hot water for it?
