If Google employees are pushing back projects with the US govt I can’t imagine this will sit well at all

Isn’t public IaaS and PaaS exactly what he is talking about? Amazon, Google, Microsoft selling the exact software and infrastructure they use to operate at scale. So maybe regulated prices for Cloud services? But they already seem pretty low because of competition.

Access to massive data is the real value that these companies have exclusive access to, not IT infrastructure

How is threading or cross thread shared memory a security risk?

How the hell do you retain any accessibility when rendering a custom UI in Canvas?

Is there some reason why there are so many F35 articles on HN recently? Is there an anniversary coming up or an appropriations bill? Is someone shorting Lockheed Martin?

Those “watch” pockets in jeans are great for holding rings.

For some commutes in Seattle the bus is way faster than trying to drive out of downtown. The bus tunnel is pretty fantastic.

If you must, do statistics, machine learning, or "data science". If you are already an experienced dev, a CS or Math degree is not going to give you anything that you dont already have.

I think many academics write in LaTeX because it is easier to switch between document formatting styles. If you submit to multiple journals that all have their own poorly made Word 2007 templates, even the pain of LaTeX is not so bad.

It happened in SF

Former IBM engineer here, can confirm this has been happening for many job roles over the last year in many divisions

They do not offer COL adjustment. Also no guarantees that you will not have to subsequently relocate to another location

I feel like part of preparing candidates for interviews is so that they feel calmer during the interview and know what to expect. I doubt you get a very clear picture of someone's capabilities in a short interview if they freeze up from stress.

ITT at least 3 JavaScript libraries to do this.

Also how the heck do you destructure Java objects with private fields without resorting to bean accessors?

Wow, that was interesting until it got to "the political elite". Can I flag just the second half of this article?

The only thing I learned from this post is that there are people who like Oracle and want to use them more.

Was this originally written in English? I can hardly make sense of this article.

It seems to take a few releases longer for new features to move from Fedora to RHEL, but RHEL 7 is pretty current. That stability is great though, you can stay on one version of RHEL for a very long time and still get patch support, especially since major upgrades are so traumatic on most Linux distributions (RHEL included)

holy cow that open fire was smoking like hell. No wonder Beijing is a smoggy mess with production like this happening.

Why do news outlets insist on calling everything Cyber-xyz. This is Information warfare aided by technical tools. It's not the hacking that is the weapon but how and where you release the information gained by those tools.

As others have said, Bluetooth headsets are generally bad for consistent quality in my experience. I tend towards a wired gaming headset (turtle Beach) with a long cable just because it is simple and works with my phone or laptop. Of course most of the quality is dependent on the conferencing solutions your company uses.

I interviewed with Google. While waiting for a response from my on-site interview I interviewed with another company and received an offer. I did not end up receiving an offer from Google but it did not make a difference as I already accepted the other job. It took Google almost a month after the on-site to get through their various levels of review.

You figured out how to compile JavaScript?

Yeah, even if (especially if) Trump loses, this is just going to get more intense and not go away.

Tell that to my google searches

Alternately you could have your SQL cake and eat it too using any SQL where you can define custom functions, such as in SparkSQL

The styling on this article hurts my eyes. It feels like the author is shouting at me

Given the option for zero interest payments on things like appliances and computers, why would you use a credit card for those?

Thank you. Hopefully Facebook's changes will put a dent in these click bait headlines

Interesting to see the Bible viewed from someone with a Marxist / secularist upbringing. Growing up in the USA most people had a view of the Bible ranging from positive to unquestioning literalism.
