Which will also be a factor of big companies being more willing (or able) to hire junior developers whose entire experience in the language is a boot camp
Check out intercom on github for inter-tab communication. I use it in we apps for many different things. Including log-back-in. One tab gets a session timeout and tells them all to go black asking for a password. Enter it in one tab and they all unlock.
You comment made me laugh and 'ahhhhh!' at the same time. It now makes sense. He's totally into Apple and hasn't been elsewhere.
A few of the things he talks about regarding the UI changes are already on Windows, but he talks as if they're a new invention. While he might be talking to a 100% Apple audience, I think it makes him look silly that he doesn't mention they're not Apple-original features.
Eg. windows that are semi translucent with the background blurred came with either Vista or 7. That annoying animated focus circle is in Office 2013.
In an aquihire, they typically ARE buying the product to get the talent capable of building the product in question.
Let's say you've built some product capable of receiving millions of http connections a minute from thousands of servers and then distributing those to thousands of servers as they request a new batch. But you can't find a market. However this is (was of course) a real-world problem for Twitter.
Suddenly you are a really attractive aquihire. Maybe they'll use your tech, but more likely they value your problem solving experience in their specific problem domain.
It makes no sense to suggest he donate it to charity. He found a pile of people willing to sell him the goods at a price both they and he were happy with. If something like Stellar is to succeed you can't put limits on the free market and the transactions that are allowed to take place using them.
Just because he didn't use his real name doesn't make the transaction less valid. And just because the task didn't use an identifiable account name doesn't make the transaction less valid.
What you're insisting is that you can't buy something from someone on Craigslist using a fake name and meeting in a place that nobody else can tell where you made the transaction. In other words, 99% of Craiglist transactions.
I always wanted to be a lumberjack. Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine!
But they can't find any mentors matching my search. :(
TL;DR: To save y'all from listening to the (interesting) Planet Money podcast:
Back in the early C20 depression the auto makers were the biggest companies in the USA. And they'd force the franchisees to purchase cars or lose their franchise.
So states enacted legislation to ensure the auto makers couldn't close a franchise. Nor could the auto maker grant a second franchise in the same location. And (I think I'm inferring as I can't remember hearing this explicitly) could not open their own dealership that competed with the existing franchise.
So Mall Backup Co takes two copies immediately. One on their local node and one that gets shipped back to base.
As soon as you get home you can access your backup (transparently) from the mall node. Then when the drive gets back to base it does another verification run and instructs the node that it can re-use that space.
> But no, the broadcasters want to be paid for not-providing a signal to those customers. Instead of investing to improve their infrastructure, they want to be paid for not improving it.
This is the best one paragraph summary of the Aereo case I've heard. Certainly makes it absolutely plain why it needs to be allowed to continue.
I'd go further. The jury must convict on all presented charges or none. Throwing 900 charges at someone, as the article says, is a way to force a plea bargain from someone who may well be innocent. (And removing a charge after failing the plea bargain tactic, but before court can't be allowed either.)
I don't get the benefit .. the only 'pro' I can think of (spaces in domain names) would be better answered by allowing a space-to-double-hyphen transcoding so
hxxp://food in chicago.com/ encodes to hxxp://food--in--chicago.com
Pros:
* Domains can now have spaces
Cons:
* Domains are now case sensitive
* You visit a domain and it isn't reversible
* The google-juice assigned to domain names is gone
Edit: the audiobooks are well done too!
