It does have minor disadvantages, abandoned sessions need housekeeping (a crontab job may work for you), UDP is sometimes blocked in corp/uni firewalls, SSH agent forwarding is tied to first connection (can be worked around), X forwarding doesn't work, I also wonder if the local echo for example using vim causes more burden that it solves when say not in insert mode in vim. Other than that mosh is great especially when mobile or switching between VPNs etc..
About time, culture played too large a part in the handling of this disaster regardless of pre-tsunami safety measures, these executives downplayed and delayed critical actions which endangered the rest of the world in order to protect their own reputations. Although like "saving face" in SE Asia, cultures are difficult, if not impossible, to change..
I guess that part is inflated as you suggest, but you flew Qatar economy from LHR to BKK for I guess under 400gbp all-in. Even if the real cost of fuel was close to $100 there still not a lot of gold in the deal, the other mandatory fees essentially mean that Qatar have less than $100 per flight leg to cover their costs. Given Qatar is one of the best on this route I'd say you still got a bargain. BTW how was the dreamliner in comparison to the a380 iirc they were using 777s last time.
IntelliJ reminds me of ramp up prior to Firefox 3.5, forever announcing performance increases which never seem tangible. However we're at Firefox 43 now and it seems to have delivered on the 3.5 promises, I still hold out hold for IntelliJ perhaps nearer v20. Damn shame atm though as Cursive Clojure looks awesome.
There's a new shitcoin every week, not really important or worthy of an announcement, somehow related to someone somewhat related to bitcoin. according to cryptodatabase there are 1,381 different coins. Softpedia is down for me but the same yawn story is here https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-developers-are-creat...
Holy shit, you know hipsters with their activism desires will eat you alive... It's racist, conferences will be cancelled, 24hr keyboard warrior marathons will be held, Google will be noted as evil... Think, won't someone please think
Sounds like a shitty company, you're probably missing much bigger symptoms.. Get a new job
JIRA is [s]fine though[/s] ok, I've used when at a HN hip company, and it worked really well, granted it could have been a little simpler, but still much better than any homegrown alternative, and it was on-premise too.
Clojure use it to track issues too, and very few moans (surprising given the amount of hammock time devoted to simplicity)..
Disclaimer: At one point prior to using JIRA I did retweet '"Im so happy we use JIRA" - no programmer ever' or something like that, cargo-culting jira hate?
Do we have an ES7 compiler to ES6 that can handle these new features? Whilst I prefer cljs, sometimes the weight of clojurescript output and tooling can be a little offputting for smaller tasks, but callbacks/promises etc.. are rarely enjoyed
I am quite surprised someone with real skills and tendency to call bullshit what is such as Linus uses LinkedIn, it's the pits of impostors and people taking larger slices of credit than they could ever truely justify, non-sincere feedback (because who really wants to tell Bill he was useless when he asks for a LinkedIn review, especially if you need him to reciprocate), impossible to unsubscribe emails (because X email is actual different from a Y notification), and slimey recruiters/networkers that want to reach out. Selfies for employees
Interesting theory, but in practice they just hack the next poorly written "secure" PHP bitcoin exchange (they are like buses... not long to the next one) than attempt this grand idea..
That's pretty neat, quite often one has carefully define the selection with the screenshot tool (which has no concept other than windows) leaving a less than polished result, this is certainly very handy, presuming it also covers scenario where an containing element goes over multiple page scrolls (granted one can do this for full page already wtih --fullscreen if i remember correctly).
Oracle probably doesn't have a great product story for Java and the JVM to sell to investors so losing direct interest isn't surprising, but given its close integration with many of their ecosystems as long as they continue to put a dozen awesome engineers into advancing the JVM and Java ecoysystem we all still win. Other large players like Azul and IBM also continue to push the JVM forward. Referring specifically to the language can Java evolve much further after 9? Other languages targeting the JVM such as Clojure, Scala, JRuby continue to gain traction so its all good.
Roundabouts have started appearing in Thailand, a country where most of driving population do not hold any form of driving license and had only minor handed down informal training, the results are comical, although there is probably some scientific value that can be taken away if studied seriously. The most common observation I found is that most give way to entering traffic (i.e. they stop in the roundabout), there are of course less common instances of going around with hazard lights on, and going the wrong direction, and even just driving over them completely ignorant, by less common I mean <20% not the exception you witness elsewhere. If you're on holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand and from a country where roundabouts are popular then this location https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ko+Samui,+Thailand/@9.5340... will provide a good few minutes of free entertainment, just don't stand too close to the road, luckily though an ambulance is usually stationed a few metres away. Unfortunately this roundabout doesn't work (in terms of optimal traffic flow) for the reasons above and unlike "a north Georgia town" education isn't going to be possible when they have no license or training, and more importantly not a care in the world.
I almost got used to the old interface, it was pretty much the same for 7 years so I had plenty of time, the new one introduced this year I can't seem to adapt to. What were all those employees actually doing?
A blessing in disguise is that this made me find an alternative which was trusty Atlassian Bitbucket, along with their free private repos each can be accompanied with a markdown tolerant wiki, sure it's not quite the same but as a developer notepad bitbucket wiki has worked out quite well.
The latest news just locks me further into migrating all remaining bits from evernote, then again if the 47 employees let go were responsible for web client new material UI (there is no support linux client) and the remaining employees rollback and want to do as little innovation as they did between 2008-2014 then perhaps I'll reconsider
This talk might be of interest Stuart Sierra - Components Just Enough Structure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13cmHf_kt-Q - it is a tiny clojure framework but the ideas should be thought provoking, although granted with OO aligned type system not completely adaptable. In this example Customer could possibly just be a data-bucket/map/hashtable/Dictionary, Im not entirely sure how I'd handle reporting though as the example has put me back in OO mode, but a customer report (which knows how to organize data about a customer) shouldnt be part of customer entity (used loosely) in my opinion.
Granted the F# approach is somewhat nicer, but I don't think the C# approach with contracts is too bad (no recent experience with .Net - 6yrs ago contracts were painful to use), but you also could go the immutable route and via a method call easily return a new instance of User and enforce the invariant prior to creating a new instance etc.. It's a minor issue in the end, the bigger issue is that your client/stakeholder knows what they actually want and you actually capture those in-variants exhaustively and correctly (implementation is minor, F#/ocaml/haskell can't save you here)...
Why limit to one? Perhaps a fair logistic syndicator, where companies send their delivery requests when they've exhausted their permanent staff capacity.
Maybe something like milkthemiles.com - make the retailers agree to your demand pricing not the inverse (tm)...
Whilst I agree it's a pretty poor situation (and has been for years) it is often easier just to never touch a dirty IP for relaying, ask your hosting provide for clean IP.
This looks interesting, I'm hoping it's not completely introductory like 'Living Clojure' (takeaway: don't trust amazon reviews). Is there any early draft discount? Like Manning's MEAP?
I think you're on to something here. Id pay the same I pay for lwn for someone to collapse articles into under say 1k or 2k characters, very rarely more meat exists..
Many large companies in Asia will use First Advantage (previously LexusNexus I believe) to do background checks so ignore the previous commenter that Asia doesnt do background checks, the same incompetent company used heavily in US and EU. However I would be surprised if startups did background checks, and even if they did if you could put your cards on the table then I doubt it will hinder you, you seem to be upfront here (and with it only probation) so I guess it wasn't anything too evil.
This is kind of sad to read, and certainly not a manager Id like to work with, is this even a company that is profitable? Didnt someone buy this for a stupid amount years ago?. Back on subject, an unmotivated employee is usually a symptom a problem with the company or culture, especially if he/she is an experienced hire that has many years of real world experience, why were they motivated/productive before and not now?. Perhaps the company is blind that they have a problem? Perhaps they tick many boxes on Stackoverflow check list and many employees are HN followers so it can't be a culture problem? Just food for thought..
