ropiku··on Travelling to work 'is work', European court rules
This is only if there is no fixed office, if they had an office they this would not matter and would be the employees issue. Obviously the travel time from the office to the client is during work time.
ropiku··on Google OnHub Review
Courious why did you replace the EdgeRouter Lite with X ? Looks like the X doesn't have hardware acceleration and is cheaper.
ropiku··on GRPC.io is interestingly different from CORBA
In what languages have you been using it ?
ropiku··on Silicon Brain: 100,000 ARM cores [video]
There's also a video of wiring the rack (took 4h) and how the wiring for the whole 10-rack cluster would look like: http://jhnet.co.uk/projects/spinner
ropiku··on OnHub
It's a Dual Core ARM, it's expected for a good gigabit router.
ropiku··on OnHub
Given that it has ZigBee, Bluetooth 4.0 I think it's meant to be a hub. It also mentions Weave which would work well together with Nest: https://nest.com/support/article/How-does-Nest-Protect-conne...
ropiku··on Yesterday's best-practices are today's HTTP/2 anti-patterns
You can also use an http/2 reverse proxy in front like nghttp2 or H2O.

ropiku··on Join the Engineering Leisure Class
There are quite a few startups and companies in other areas like Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds. They are still big (and somewhat) expensive cities but you can lower your cost of living.
ropiku··on Introducing the Uber Request Endpoint
The Uber Apple Watch app was demoed at the Apple event. Exactly as you say, you can tap to get a ride at your current location.
ropiku··on DHS Extends Eligibility for Employment to Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses
*Only those with an I-140 approved (already in the green card process) or other conditions. That's still a good step.
ropiku··on Firefox 36.0 released
Using FirefoxDevEdition with SPDY indicator shows me Google, Youtube and Twitter over HTTP/2.
ropiku··on The Rising Costs of Scaling a Startup in San Francisco
I think by "effectively" he means the company will pay the employee less to compensate for the recruitment fee, not that the employee is directly charged.
ropiku··on Handling five billion sessions a day in real time
They are not for accuracy. One usage for instance is to recompute stats if there are bugs in the stats processing code. Or if you want to add more metrics. (I work at Twitter but not on Answers).
ropiku··on Ask HN: What up with these startup salaries?
There is no 83(c) election. At the moment of vesting the amount is considered regular income (no RSU * market price on that day) and you pay taxes on that. A portion of shares is withheld and sold to cover taxes but you may owe more. When you sell you pay capital gains tax on the difference, short or long depending on how long you kept it. There is no work around, you just keep in mind taxes when calculating your grant worth.
ropiku··on Hello HTTP/2, Goodbye SPDY
Do you know if they support SPDY downstream too ?
ropiku··on Spending by the UK government on the siege against Julian Assange
I remember the press saying the UK can always revoke the diplomatic status of the embassy but that would create a diplomatic precedence and put UK embassies everywhere in danger.
ropiku··on Problems with the Golang runtime and toolchain
It's on the back of the sign in front of the campus: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-suns-logo-is-on-the-back-...
ropiku··on Chrome 40 beta: Offline service workers
It's possible I misunderstood it then. I was at a talk by an FT engineer. Here's his course that he referenced in his talk: https://github.com/matthew-andrews/workshop-making-it-work-o.... You're right that maybe he was talking about what it is possible not what they did.
ropiku··on Chrome 40 beta: Offline service workers
Update: Sorry, I misunderstood.

Polyfills emulate service workers as they were not actually implemented in any browser. So they have to fall back on App Cache. But now they can seamlessly use Chrome's native service workers while still relying on polyfills for other browsers.

ropiku··on Chrome 40 beta: Offline service workers
I'm glad it's a native feature.

I attended a talk by an FT engineer and I was amazed by what's possible.

Update: Mistakenly thought that FT uses Polyfill for service workers.

ropiku··on List of URLs checked by Twitter for its app targeting
It doesn't forcefully stop apps to do this but Twitter reads and obeys that setting.
ropiku··on List of URLs checked by Twitter for its app targeting
Limit Ad tracking is an iOS system setting. For Android you can set "Opt out of interest based-ads" (Accounts -> Google -> Ads). You can set both before upgrading the app and no scan will take place.
ropiku··on List of URLs checked by Twitter for its app targeting
You can opt out from the Twitter App. Or enable "Limit Ad Tracking".
ropiku··on How My Employer Put the “FML” in FMLA
Also a EU court decided that you get sick days even if you are on holiday: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-18534028
ropiku··on Facebook Rooms
Did it get pulled or not propagated correctly ? I get "The item you tried to buy is no longer available." on US Appstore.
ropiku··on A look at the 2014 Mac mini
That and also the Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter works.
ropiku··on Lime Text: Open Source Sublime Text clone
There is a build for Windows now. I've started using Atom along with Sublime and Atom is a lot more stable now.
ropiku··on Mac Menu Bars
I love iStat as a replacement for system controls: the clock, battery and seeing stats for cpu, temperature, network.

According to https://www.eff.org/torchallenge/what-is-tor.html they call them "middle relays, exit relays, and bridges".
