In the past we have taken current developers and a potential hire out for lunch to see if there is "cultural fit". I don't like this idea anymore unless, we have agreed and intend to hire the candidate pending the lunch. However, the existing developers will not be able to override the hiring decision as it is not for them to say "no" but rather it is an opportunity for the candidate to decide if they can get along with the existing team. Is that fair?
I wouldn't call DO's interface ugly but I hugely prefer Linode's. Much better visual feedback and it feels like a solid management console rather than a pretty toy.
As well as good wifi, some renovations, and better decor[0].

[0] At least in my experience. I'm not sure what it is about coffeeshops. Their decor is just conducive to working, much more than the local library, at least.
I've tried meditation, which seemed to helpful for my mental well being, but seemed not to be the same state of mind I need to be in to fall asleep. The type of meditation I looked into involves not pursuing thoughts and just acknowledging them. Sleep seems to be more about following silly imaginary things across different associations.

Nice, that looks pretty interesting. I'll make sure the team checks that out.
That's brilliant, has this been featured on Lifehacker yet? Seems like perfect material for them.
That's probably more true in general than it is in this particular case. Gmail does IP reputation differently than other major ISPs, and domain/content reputation are very different beasts entirely.

Gmail's approach with a low-reputation IP is generally to throttle it aggressively; mail still gets through, just not very quickly if you're sending in bulk.

Domain reputation is not initially distrusted unless it's a brand-new domain (registered in the last 30 days or so), and generally doesn't come into play unless there's very unusually poor metrics (think sky-high spam complaints) associated with the domain. Content reputation is applied in a similar manner.

The headers I'm looking at should most likely give Gmail enough distinct identifiers to work with to isolate it from broader reputation issues at Hetzner, but the post only included partial headers, so I can't quite say that conclusively.
This is something one would never see in Europe. In Paris it's acceptable to buy an expresso, or a glass of wine and stay for hours. On my last day in Paris I did this and got a free bowl of chips too! Talk about hospitality.

This is a great topic. Some ideas to consider:

-Identify sentences where strong sentiments

-Identify first person sentences (I, me, my)

-Identify second person sentences (you, your)

-Identify sentences that indicates action that would be taken by person/group.
I'm a heavy Linode, DO and Vultr user. All three are great (with Linode being my preferred choice if cost isn't the overriding factor).

I've got Vultr instances in all of their EU locations and haven't had any issues (connectivity wise or uptime wise). One note for Vultr: new accounts are limited to max 5 VPS instances by default until you open a support ticket and request the limit be raised (which they were happy to do, at least for me).

> What do you mean there is "no clear antitrust issue" here? Most of OP's contacts use gmail, but gmail refuses his legitimate outside mail.

But Google does accept almost everybody else's email, including many actual commercial competitors, and there is no reason to believe anyone at Google is deliberating singling OP out or even knows who OP is, so I can't imagine where you're seeing anticompetitive behavior.

> Since email is an open protocol, and since his mail server is easy to verify and sends no spam (as he outlines at long length in his blog post), this really is quite blatant. Imagine if, early in the millennium, Internet Explorer refused to connect over http with servers that weren't IIS.

This is more like if Internet Explorer failed to connect to some random Joe's homebrew personal server but could connect to most other people's just fine whether or not they were using IIS. That's not anticompetitive behavior, it's just a bug, and in fact there were many things that Internet Explorer did not handle correctly.
With a title like that, I was at first expecting to see a map of coastal attacks against northern Europe.
You might be conflating the game telling you the player that you are not welcome, and the game universe telling your character that a female Gray Warden is unusual/unconventional, maybe even offensive to the game universe's (NPCs) sensibilities.

Dragon Age Origins is a medieval fantasy setting, right? I guess that they were more concerned with creating a setting that was more in line with our view of an European medieval age-inspired fantasy setting, as opposed to some parallel universe where men and women are equally represented in fighting classes/hero roles.

I haven't played a Dragon Age game so I might be missing something/getting something wrong.

As a side-note, the "a woman to do a man's job, really?" is a common revenge/I'll-show-them trope used to build up to a pay-off involving proving those people wrong. Or just telling them off immediately, but that is a less satisfying variation.
Then why is "Maybe the lack of women in computer science comes from the stereotype of a male programmer hacking the government in his parents’ basement." relevant?

Presumably because women don't want to be associated with "men who live in their parents basements."

That's pretty similar to women don't want to be associated with "people who don't fit conventional stereotypes."

Blatant sexism hasn't stopped women from achieving in other fields: medicine, law, business, so I wouldn't expect blatant sexism to stop women from achieving in computer science.

Instead, I think that Computer Science doesn't have broad appeal the way other professional fields do.
Thanks! I'm going to be at a farm next Monday so I will definitely put your points into consideration.
I haven't seen YouTube care about customer's concern after the acquisition by Google? That is unless the video gets a lot of attention, or you are someone other than me?

I have videos up I literally can't get off. Their was a password clitch in their software when Google bought YouTube.
I tried to get to my account, and got tired of hearing, "Go to the help boards sir-". I got to the point where it just wasen't worth the frustration. Too bad--at one time
I really liked YouTube! Now--I only go there when absolutely necessary; Then I turn down the sound--try to guess when the skip advertisement pops up, watch, and gone for months.

(I have used YouTube from pretty much day one. I put up self help stuff for Contractors --A lot of This is How you put in a Hydronic Heating System. They were terrible, but I always had the option to remove/replace? I can now only get to them as a commenter. In one video, my dog died the previous week, and you could tell in my voice I wasen't doing well. Even one commenter suggested I should redo the video. I explained to him in the comment section I can't even get to the video.)
Facebook not only added native video support, but their news feed algorithm blocks YouTube links in favor of native videos all of the time. They created the freebooting problem themselves on purpose to keep people (and ad revenue) locked into their own site.

As far as piracy is concerned, I fail to see how Facebook is any better than MegaUpload. You might even say it's 1000 times worse, considering its alexa ranking is 1000 times better than MegaUpload's ever was.

Why hasn't Zuckerberg's house been raided yet, and all Facebook servers confiscated?
Go 1.5 Beta 1Release Notes
It's entirely true that Gmail accepts mail at much higher rates than other major ISPs, and that their default handling of unwanted mail is to place it into the spam folder - but the truth is they can and will bounce mail if it's bad enough. It's just extremely uncommon for most people - even email marketers - to ever run into a situation where that happens.
in the real world, people have to draw on their wisdom, intuition and guts, intelligence and common sense in order to make immediate partially speculative conclusions/decisions. there’s no luxury of engaging in pointless pedantic philosophizing that the ivory tower can afford.

state sponsored cyber attack is less of a new variable than coincidence could ever be. 3 major us computer systems down on the same day chinas market crashed, not related at all, all just a coincidence, really? were the WTC attacks and pentagon attacks on 9/11 also two different "coincidences" or part of one same group of attacks?

this site is a prime example why even average iq 100 people can outthink iq 140 engineer types at some tasks by a multiple factor using intuition and common sense since the smarter people rely overly on the slower left brain analysis that can't take many variables into account quickly, making them come up with some astoundingly morbid conclusions.
it is generally up to you, you can inline them (MIME/base64? in the message) or remotely serve.

it'll usually serve remote http pixels for "open tracking" either way though

Oh nice! That looks close to what we were trying to do with this plugin. I'm not sure it would've worked within the constraints of the Elasticsearch environment, but the additional confidence of finding a solution that optaplanner provides by using multiple algorithms to solve the bin-packing problem (NP-Hard) looks quite promising.

He's also fine with it when the shop's not busy.

The problem is definitely not the store. The problem is that people are trained by starbucks to treat all cafes like this. His cafe, instantly to me, suggests that it's NOT okay to camp out with my laptop all day there.

How Wall Street Middlemen Help Silicon Valley Employees Cash in Early

Buy coffee, dump it out.
You welcome. Mdb, DTrace, and SPARC64 support coming soon too...
Please stay in my coffee shop.

Although that person is using your internet with a $4 coffee, they're occupying space after everybody "is gone"(9am-11am and 1pm-4pm), contributing with their physical presence.

A newcomer, that may end up becoming a long-term customer, would feel more biased towards places with more customers( or the idea of).

So, although it might seem financially reasonable to kick them out, I doubt it's the best answer.
Aaaaah, I understand now. Thanks :3
Interesting article on why the idea that malls are dying may be more a media concept than reality:

http://www.citylab.com/design/2015/03/shopping-malls-arent-a...

"The dead or dying mall is a real phenomenon. But all you have to do is invert these figures to get the bigger picture, which looks very different. If 20 percent of malls are in trouble, then 80 percent are still healthy. If 3.4 percent of malls are dying, then 96.6 percent of them aren't. (When the New York Times ran an otherwise nuanced front-page story on struggling malls in January, the accompanying graphic had a top line of 20 percent, wrongly suggesting that a rash of dead malls was a pandemic.)"
I've seen this as well. Some people get really weirded out when you sit down and share a table with them when it gets busy. There's a table there that seats six, and you're just two people sitting at it. It's not YOUR exclusive table. You don't own it. If you really want to have a private conversation without anyone around, don't go to a busy coffee shop.
Your antitrust case hinges on the fact that a random commenter on a blog suggested their personal folk remedy of signing up for Google Apps. I would love to see an antitrust that has been lost over less.

Again, Google accepts email from a huge number of sources, including major competitors, of which the OP is not one. Many people here even report running their own mail servers and experiencing success sending to Gmail. What kind of anticompetitive behavior is that? There is no indication that this is anything more than a bug.
An essay on the value of “connected data”
It's very hard to Figure out what a random piece of DNA will do just from the sequence. Combine that with other molecular biology techniques for combining, slicing, and dicing DNA, and there would be very little hope to do any sort of prospective screen.
What is this "expresso" you talk about?
It's definitely not acceptable in Italy. You're actually not allowed to bring your coffee to a table if you paid the counter fare. So yeah we have good coffee under $1, but only if you drink it and GTFO.
It's super-simple, people. Understand that by being that person with the laptop taking up table real estate you're consuming a resource that the proprietor uses to generate revenue. Customers who might otherwise come in, sit down and make a purchase will keep walking if there are no tables available.

Put another way - it's like that one client who paid you $50 to install a WordPress plugin 6 months ago who calls you weekly to troubleshoot their printer problems.

There's a very simple thing you can do which will keep any cafe owner happy. Every 25-30 minutes, have a glance around and check for vacant tables. If there are fewer than two tables available (or maybe one in smaller cafes) it's time to move on. The only exception being if you have just sat down, in which case, finish your food and beverage and leave.
Because he donated $1k to an anti-gay group 6 years prior.

That is pathetic. Do I agree with his views? No. Who cares. He's the creator of the Javascript language. He made a small donation.
That would, in my view, mean I shouldn't take the map as accurate.
Is 'face-ism' spoiling your life?
If the Google Apps anecdote is true, it's likely to be a design flaw in their anti-spam systems - think of the number of spammers who could register domains, associate them with a $5 google apps account, and spam millions of Gmail recipients. If you think about the kind of metrics/outcomes the Gmail anti-spam team uses to measure success, it's hard to imagine a scenario where that would be good for them.

What this looks like to me is a reputation problem with one or more domains, either in your headers or your message content.

From a domain reputation perspective, you don't generally need to 'build' reputation in the same way you often do with IP reputation; rather, Gmail tends to tag domains with negative reputation only when they've observed unusually bad behavior associated with the domain.

Sometimes this can happen due to domain forgery or spoofing. Sometimes it's because a sender is doing overly aggressive email marketing. Sometimes it's just because your domain shows up in someone else's bulk email.

With full authentication, spoofing is unlikely; I also don't see any indication you're doing email marketing here, and your IP 88.198.5.136 doesn't appear to generate much more than a trickle of volume. So - perhaps the latter? Has anyone included a link to one of your blog posts in an email newsletter, for example?

It would also be helpful to see full headers and content; it's great you're doing SPF/DKIM/DMARC, but they're not going to prevent all issues - there might be something elsewhere in your message that gives us a better idea where the problem is.

Finally, keep in mind that anti-spam systems are highly dynamic, and results can change - sometimes in as little as a few minutes - based on the latest data feeding into the system. If you're lucky, you might see this resolve on its own fairly quickly.
no coffee sold or allowed

the bathrooms, at least in sf, are fucking cesspools. I mean a literal fucking piss moat around the toilet.

I'd like to hear more of this story and what channels of communication were used exactly. DMCA is pretty clear on how this case should be handled and even if it's a stupid procedure that takes you down for a few days, I don't believe YT can legally refuse to act on the counter-claim. If they do and you relied on the income from those videos, you could sue them.

So why did it take months? How were they blocked in the first place? (DMCA?) Was there an official counter-claim? Refused? Why?
Sounds like something you solve with the help of a lawyer.

I mean, Youtube was serving pirated versions of his videos, refusing to block them, and refusing to attribute credit to him. Youtube was also gaining money from the operation.
Why didn't you just use Java? Hotspot has been optimized for over a decade to make (among other things) gc pauses as manageable as possible. And there are other runtimes (http://www.azulsystems.com/) specifically optimized for low latency. The poor quality of Go's GC were never a secret.
Coffee made very quickly?
Hiding the outlets could act as a filter that only lets people camp out if they own a brand-new, expensive device with long battery life. That could work very well if the cafe is trying to cultivate a richer and trendier clientele.

On the other hand, it would also look similar to how Abercrombie & Fitch refuses to make clothes in large sizes, in order to prevent fat people from shopping in their stores.
Why ‘Assistant-As-App’ Might Be the Next Big Tech Trend
DO is much cheaper than AWS.
I agree completely.

I'll admit that it sounds like I'm sending the message of "go try to start your company in Silicon Valley." But the main point I was trying to get across (which I realize may not have been made clear enough) was that the mere barrier to entry isn't as large as one might think.

Myself and a lot of my peers were always under the impression that you had to come from a prestigious school or really impress somebody in order to have a shot in SV. I've spoken with classmates who dismissed the idea of ever going there because "they aren't smart enough to work at Google" or don't "have a Stanford education."

The media creates a picture of the industry that is very intimidating. Is it irrational to believe it? Yes. But it's hard when you hear so much about the "rockstars" of Silicon Valley and the constant company and university name-dropping.

I just wanted to convey the feeling of relief I felt when I got there. Even though it might not be totally rational, the impression I felt was vastly different than what I had prepared myself for.
Xamarin just announced a partnership with Oracle (for an end-to-end mobile (cloud) platform). Seems like a well calculated strategy to keep the power balance in check.
I'm confused why it is in your interest to create a new account to post on here with a report that it's an internal issue, but then offer not even the barest technical detail when you apparently have evidence, all the while chiding others for having no evidence themselves.

Your vagueness isn't serving anyone. If you're worried about confidentiality, you would have been better off not posting at all.

The only things that gave me pause today in attributing this all to an Occam's Razor explanation are:

1) The government's careful wording about this not being an "intrusion" (which leaves open DDOS).

2) The lockstep tempering response is about what I'd expect from an industry which, almost as a matter of national if not global security, has to project a stabilizing confidence to averts irrational panics over even mundane hacking attempts.

I can believe that it is a simply an internal IT issue (apparently requiring people in multiple cities to work like crazy), but I also wouldn't be surprised to hear a completely different story emerge in the next few months as they slice the sausage of public release. It wouldn't be the first time that the initial narrative of a rogue element in the financial industry was shown to be inaccurate, and only revealed months later after an appropriate cooling off period.
Near where I live there is a bakery/cafe/bar hybrid that has all tables being 3 tables for 2 people joined side by side.

When it is full, frequently it happens that if there is two people on one set of 6, the other 4 places are empty (does not matter where the two people are).

Except when the staff bother separating the tables by a inch or two, then all tables get used, it is a really curious effect.
That's definitely a valid point, but there's two things that make me disagree. First, if you look at the game with the perspective of making the game enjoyable to women, you wouldn't put in mild sexism similar to that which already annoys them in real life, especially if it often comes from friendly characters that you can't trounce in response. :) Video games are supposed to be fun! So, from that I assume that Dragon Age Origins wasn't made with women in mind as the audience, or if it was, they didn't do it very enjoyably.

Secondly, I think attributing the mild sexism in the game to intentional world-building is a bit of a stretch, considering that the main religious figure in the game is a warrior woman prophet. I don't think women warriors would be such a surprise in that world! It's more likely that it's just something that came from our current society that got mapped onto the game because the creators didn't think about it. It's unfortunate, because with such an interesting mythology, you could do some really novel cultural things in that world.

Anyways, I've gotten off topic, but I do think there are characteristics that make it easier to blend into the programmer lifestyle (such as video games) and characteristics that make it harder (such as liking fashion) and all of those characteristics contribute to the person's choice of whether to become a programmer, especially since programming is more of an all-consuming occupation than most. And, these characteristics are not equally shared between men and women.
A friend of mine is going through this right now, a UK company ripped off his video and posted it on their site and on YouTube. They're playing hardball with some really strange reasoning. I'm sure they know they're in the wrong but if they admit it, they'll open the floodgates for more claims.
