eof··on Google Jobs Search
I also just tried. I was able to get contextualized information when searching 'programming jobs nyc' but not 'programming jobs burlington vt'.
eof··on Inside the Largest US Voter Data Leak
A careless programmer making a bad choice should simply not be able to leak 200M personal details.

I am not sure that jail time is really the thing here, but there are institutional problems if this is something that happens.

eof··on Sprint to be exclusive carrier of Essential phone
Well that's a mistake I think. Sprint network is terrible in comparison to ATT & Verizon. Shouldn't this thing be unlocked and not tied to any carrier as a matter of principal?
eof··on Ask HN: How do I earn money as a teenage programmer?
Sure, but what if he's 16?
eof··on Ask HN: Women in tech, how do you find non-toxic work environments?
Of course sexism exists. The overall ubiquity of it is what I am somewhat skeptical of.
eof··on Ask HN: Women in tech, how do you find non-toxic work environments?
Hrm, I don't see it quite the same. OP is not from SF. I am also not from SF and find the OP's slant on the issue to be characteristic of a victim trope which doesn't reflect reality (through my subjective experience). I don't know the OP from anyone, so would not expend energy attacking the OP (as others have done in this thread), but that doesn't mean the slant itself isn't worth calling out.

In my experience working with both men and women, those that find the most problems and find the most toxic environments are themselves the truly toxic ones; conflating personality conflicts with outright bigotry or special treatment as equality.

Again, I am not claiming this is what hte OP is doing here, and I don't see a point in accusing her of it; but the language and air of the post definitely suggests to me there is a real possibility that is what is going on.

It's a real trigger issue for many men who are sick of being told they are the problem; which doesn't excuse the overly-aggressive responses, but to me, does explain them.

eof··on Ask HN: Women in tech, how do you find non-toxic work environments?
Being concerned is not the same thing as acting from the assumption that everywhere is fucked and finding non-toxic culture is like a needle in a haystack.
eof··on Ask HN: What language-agnostic programming books should I read?
And just abandon all that domain knowledge your garnered along your journey?
eof··on GitHub Major Service Outage
switched to gitlab a few weeks ago, didn't notice the outage until I saw this thread.
eof··on Ask HN: Why isn't F# more popular?
I like the idea of F#, but do not like programming in the windows ecosystem. I spent years learning/writing haskell (though I write mostly JS these days).
eof··on Golden Carrots
I use venmo a few times a month; I guess this isn't really 'taking off' but it doesn't seem like the regulations are really the dampening factor; just that we have better alternatives.
eof··on Show HN: Kryptonite – a new home for your SSH private key
Why do I want my private key on my phone instead of the computer where I am using it?

eof··on BART takeover robbery: 40 to 60 teens swarm train, rob weekend riders
40 to 60 teens working in concert? that's the real news here
eof··on Why is Russia so good at encouraging women into tech?
This is not just humans, virtually every species has obvious gender roles and proclivities. Where humans differ, is our faculty for reason and (to some degree) overcoming our intuition.

In my opinion, it's obvious that women being under represented in STEM is caused significantly by both evolutionary /and/ cultural factors.

eof··on Brains Sweep Themselves Clean of Toxins During Sleep (2013)
I bet meditation, or a state that can be brought on by meditation, has this same effect.
eof··on “Evicted”, an ethnographic study of tenants in low-income housing (2016)
The argument would be that the right to seek rent from your capital goods, whether created, bought, or inherited, is what drives people to create these rent-creating systems in the first place.

If people didn't have the right to seek rent from the houses they build or inventions they come up with, why would they expend the effort in the first place?

(note, I don't take that view exactly, I believe motivation comes from a whole lot of places)

eof··on Ask HN: Should I quit Uber?
If you were in upper management then this would be a valid concern and you'd be more or less to be forced to take a position on the moral standing of the company.

However in your position no one could reasonably hold it against you. Perhaps it doesn't hurt to put out feelers though.

eof··on πfs – A data-free filesystem
Page 314.

What? How? If this is something other than being able to write to libraryofbabel.info I am extremely confused.

eof··on First look: Snapdragon 835 VR Developer Kit headset
How can I get my hands on one of these? Do they want $$ or is it invite only? Can I apply?
eof··on AWS Lambda – Best practices
Maybe I am too late too this party but I have a question:

Is there any framework for handling routing and deployments?

What I mean is, is there ane xisting solution where I can make JS files to routes, and have those routes and js files be loaded into Lambda and configure the API end point; so that if I need to make an update to the lambda function i can just update the file (and re run the framework)

eof··on NASA to Unveil New Exoplanet Discovery Tomorrow
An announcement of an announcement. Do we have any examples of announcement of announcement of announcement?
eof··on Fake News Challenge

    function isFakeNews(news_piece){
     var list_of_legit_sources = _get_current_approved_sources(); // makes synchronous http request to illuminati.com/api
    if list_of_legit_sources.inArray(getSource(news_piece)) return false; else return true;

^---- Sadly this is the reality for how fake news is going to play out
eof··on Show HN: Invite friends to SSH into your laptop using their GitHub handle
I'm confused and have a couple questions:

1. Why would I want someone to ssh into my machine -- at least with the frequency that a service to help me do it is valuable?

2. How is this easier/better than saying 'hey bro whats your ssh pub id? -- eh.. do `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`

Over all this seems like a tool that only super technical people would ever use, and for those people adding a key to authorized keys is trivial.

eof··on Google Has Started Penalizing Mobile Websites with Intrusive Pop-Up Ads
I wouldn't pay a lot, but I would definitely pay.

like a buck or two a month billed anually I would buy without hesitation if I believed it had real value.

I usually search github directly now for these things, and it works decently well; either finding the code in the repo to which it belongs or better yet, an issue addressed by the developer.

eof··on Ask HN: If you were to switch career, what would you do?
I've been fantasizing about getting into timber framing.
eof··on Irssi 1.0.0 Released
neat. I've been using irssi for half a decade. Never realized it was <1.0
eof··on Some Google Pixel devices shutting down at 30% battery
I have a huwai honor5x which lasts a full day easily.

I've had it for a few months now. It is annoyingly aggressive about shutting down apps (which makes my lastpass autofill not work, among other things).

But I paid ~$180 with no contract and though it definitely stutters at times, for my use it's been great.
