>The bandwidth of personal IRL interaction adds enormous value.... But if you think it's bullshit, or something for "dinosaurs", you have a serious problem. Not just as a programmer, but as a human being.

To be fair I never said real-life face time lacked value. I think periodic group meet-ups are helpful and need to happen. I think you were reading words I never wrote. I think ideally a distributed teams do need to have retreats together. (This is a "like milkshakes, but do I need one everyday for lunch" kind of thing IMHO)

>How is it that every time someone makes this argument, they do it in such a superficial, arrogant and ignorant way

I was addressing the authors point that: the way to to address this "scarcity" is by importing people from over seas into a few major metro areas. My point is if there are many domestic (or foreign) resources outside of said metro areas there isn't really more then a self-imposed scarcity.

>you have a serious problem. Not just as a programmer, but as a human being.

I was sharing an opinion-- I am totally OK with you disagreeing with it, that is fine, but that above response was beyond rude, it was personal and cruel.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.4/gcc/Function-Attrib... and http://pasky.or.cz/dev/glibc/ifunc.c

look up the target attribute and the ifunc attribute--it's basically a way to compile multiple versions of a function for different targets in a single source file and then use the dynamic linker to determine which one to resolve at runtime. obvious use is for things like optimized memcpy implementations.
the existence or non-existence of a trademark registration filed with the USPTO doesn't necessarily mean that the name is trademarked or not. registration helps when you're suing, but trademark rights can attach without registration.
I disagree that the word has been reclaimed. In the media and in non-computing circles the word hacker clearly means someone who breaks into computer systems. Within the computer world I don't think the meaning of hacker ever really went away.

Sure, here on Hacker News we all use hacker to mean something, but I think outside of this little group little has changed.

Equally, I think stressing about this is a total waste of time. The average joe thinks of a hacker as someone who breaks stuff. Oh well. I've got better things to do then have a silly argument about the meaning of a word.
Goldman didn't directly benefit from TARP money paid to them, but they gained tremendously from TARP money paid to AIG and other counterparties (which neither they nor AIG paid back).
This will exactly end like Infocom adventures. They are mostly nice, but quite often you hunt for the exact phrase the parser understood (but to be fair, it happened more often in Magnetic Scrolls).

But would you call using a text adventure (put blue ball in red box) programming?
So do Fortran and C. BLAS is written in assembly.
This is what a step in the right direction looks like, folks.
I do agree with what you're saying. However whenever any popular startup's offices are posted a lot of developers/coders down fawn over it, so there does seem to be a lot of developers who seem to like the concept of an open plan office even if they'd regret it once they actually started working there.
Yeah. It wasn't actually intended to be Turing-complete, but then some excessively creative goddamn lunatic came up with a way to beat MediaWiki syntax with ParserFunctions into yielding a truly hideously inefficient "if" statement. Soooo they gave up and codified that so the CPUs wouldn't melt.
Same with temperatures and timestamps.
"God of the gaps" is one big straw man argument. Lots of religious philosophies don't even have a place for God directly acting in the world.

Evolution is again a straw man argument. Lots of religions accept it.

Ever hear of Gödel's rigorous ontological argument?

http://mally.stanford.edu/Papers/ontological-computational.p...

Science is the not end of it all. Science rests on logic and rational thought.

What would be the scientific experiment for validating the scientific method?

My point is that arguing against simple-minded religious folks is easy.

But nobody has come up with any serious objections to arguments like those coming from Kurt Gödel and the like.

I am not holding my breath! :)
I don't know why you were downvoted, I think your comment is factual.

It is scalable enough because you need to download log(index_size) rather than full index.

The use case - any private data which you'd like to encrypt on the server while preserving ability to search. Medical records, financial data, emails are some examples.

Easier to say what this database is not for. Big data applications where you need to use a significant portion of data in the db (like 10%) in map-reduce queries is probably not what ZeroDB would be practical for.
I think that the destination comes first as then you're free to tack on any number additional files to add to the archive by simply appending them. If the destination was last argument any added files would have to come before the destination which would necessitate an insert, which is more work than a simple append.
Looks very different in terms of the sort of performance you'd likely expect out of it, though. My initial reading is that if you want acceptable performance you're likely forced into thinking about sharding - and even then you're going to be punished by SQLite's poor concurrency support.
We spent some time figuring out how to get Processing apps onto our WordPress blog and thought it would be useful for others to see how it is done. Processing is a very accessible language for learning how to make cool, dynamic, interactive applications and our tutorial will allow you to quickly place yours on your blog for all to see.

Feedback, questions, or comments are greatly appreciated.
The fact that servers are guaranteed minimum wage does not change "they live off tips" one bit. $7.25 isn't enough to reasonably live on. Like it or not, you're paying their rent with your tips. That doesn't mean you're obligated, but it does mean you have a strong influence over their financial well-being, even with minimum wage guarantees.
If I recall right, the "breaking" part can be interpreted as broadly as pushing open a closed (but unlocked) door.

That's the letter of the law, but I sincerely doubt that was the spirit..
well, i guess that means miracast is done for.
My life is complete. Thank you for posting this, I would be heartbroken if you hadn't
I don't know why it was decided to post in HN before explaining everything clearly in the text, but its good to see that the OP has been explaining as much as possible to everyone. Most of it is repeat questions about monitors, network security and OS compatibility(welcome to real world use cases :)). Adding this in the page beforehand would have changed the mood and tone in this comment section today :D Good luck with the product!

For the next update please explain things before hand in your page!
At a FANG they are probably living in a high COL - got to pay that mortgage
Ah ok, his first "yes" confused me so much that I saw no value to read further.
The removed handles should be quarantined for say 10 years after the removal I think. That makes it at least no harder to create a fake account that's similar to the original than it already is.
Mixed langs on the same stack view in VS was a breakthrough for me, coding in a mix of C# and C++.
I don't think they are talking about the phone's total energy; the charts in that excellent paper you linked to have costs for CPU, L1, L2, DRAM etc but no screen, GPU, radio etc.

A long time ago I was a technical product manager for, among other things, this stuff. At the time, the screen completely dominated and the GPU was a distant second, unless you were playing a 3D game, in which case it used almost as much as the backlight. CPU and radio were a long way behind them.

My intuition is that this hasn't changed, as I can still get dramatically better battery life on my new iPhone in iBooks by playing with the brightness slider.
How do you handle the fat? I gained most of my muscle weight eating like you do - lots of protein, fat and whole-grain carbs (oats, whole wheat bread, pasta, potatoes with skins, legumes). I gain fat too though.

I was also supplementing with whey (mainly casein) and creatine.

With the baby I've been eating a lot of crap sugars and put on 5kg of fat. I'm trying to drop 20kg of bodyfat now to get to down to 10-12% body fat. So far I've been able to drop without any real muscle loss as long as I still lift regularly.
> If you want massive parallelism, use a GPU.

The GPU doesn't have all of your data stored in it. The clone and zero part have a very weak reasoning, focusing on bad targets because they look better than important ones, but take a look at the next section, where they do a simple database search.
They had been dating for a month at that point, so how they originally met was not nearly as relevant as his extensive criminal record was.

feedback from current customer (approx 20 months): i set up a subscription for my small team of devs--try to convince them i'm a thoughtful, generous manager, or at least buy their love. They "care packages" are a huge hit with this gang--every candy type (a team of six with varied tastes so not too surprising). Initially, when the twice-monthly shipments arrived, i would but the box on a bookcase in our area; i don't think the candy ever lasted more than 24 hours. After the first couple of months, they began retrieving them directly from the mailroom, then putting the box on my desk once it was empty. I would love to try some, or even one, but you see why that hasn't worked out so far. About a months or so ago, one of the devs on the team told me how awesome she thought were these sweets, and kudos to whomever orders them for the whole team.
Great write-up, Bemmu. Glad to hear Candy Japan is still going strong. I had a subscription for a couple of months last year, I got my first batch right after we met on a warm sunny day here in Amsterdam!

Unfortunately I had to cancel the subscription, though. This is because the frequency was just too high for me. Although I do love all the weird and funny types of candy, I'm not that much of a sweet tooth and some of the candies kept piling up! If 2015 also brings different types of subscription, I'll probably sign up again for once a month.

All the best!
It’s even worse than that, because LinkedIn actually pretended to be you —- its invitations to “connect” were crafted to look like they contained a personal note from you.
Can you explain more on this ?

Are you wanting something like a cloud-based ... browser/cache basically a users localstorage/db/browser data would be synched in the same format in the cloud?

How are you imagining this? (Burned out dev, looking for a side project).
For advertising they do - stop arguing against a point that isn’t being made. Posting job listings isn’t their ‘bread and butter’.
In what ways has LinkedIn been ineffective? I've seen many SWE Mgr openings. Make sure your settings are configured to be open to opportunities.
Well then you just need multiple Kubernetes clusters for redundancy :-) :-)

From another thread on the home page right now:

The current trend goes to multi-cluster environments, because it's way too easy to destroy a single k8s cluster due to bugs, updates or human mistake. Just like it's not an very unlikely event to kill a single host in the network e.g. due to updates/maintenance.

For instance, we had several outages when upgrading the kubernetes version in our clusters. If you have many small cluster it's much easier and more save to apply cluster wide updates, one cluster at a time.

Yoga in the west is an effective stretching technique, with inspiring names and imaginary.
So, very good indeed, but nothing to do with the source.
> But I don't recommend it anymore because I don't want my peers to end up looking up to some toxic asshole and getting disillusioned because of it.

Or you know, allow people to make up their minds about how much of an asshole someone is, instead of deciding for them with some superior paternalistic bullshit of your own. There is value in someone's work outside of their fringe personal opinions.
Not if revenues continue to grow. I think the market awards grow-at-all-costs companies too much. Profits are the best bell-weather of a healthy company. Yes yes Amazon and the like but they invested cash flows back into the business.
I'd be very interested to see some real-world cases for lazy sequences in context of client-side JavaScript interpretation.

The "Why?" section doesn't seem to have any information in the docs.

* Success at Web Apps != Success at Mobile Apps.

While true, more important is

Good all-round knowledge in solving problems that users have every-day by using techology is 100% transferable between all computer and non-computer solutions. If you are good at finding niches in the market where users need help, how the hell is that no transferable?

Now maybe writing webapps does not mean I can write great mobile apps, need some training.
Why only 20%? If its just starting, why not 50/50?

> They are also trivial to get wrong, can be mangled when the files are moved around, and are easy to use as an attack vector.

On the contrary, they're the only kind of metadata that doesn't get mangled when files are moved around, and they're far less of an attack vector than other approaches. Of course you can set the wrong file type, but no approach avoids that problem.
Most western countries that were part of communist bloc can say that.
Typically you have doors and windows closed at night, so with reduced ventilation its typical for c02 or VOCs to spike. It must suck to live somewhere (LA?) where opening the windows doesn't help
To this I say: prove it. You've put forth a strong argument (we'll ignore the relevance for a minute), full of fanciful accusations but it lacks detail or corroborating evidence. If you want to say these platforms are sexist, I can point you to the You Look Like a Man page on instagram, where they've cataloged it. But you seem to be claiming an agenda. Cite your credible sources.
Not hard to imagine if you've ever had to deal with Oracle apps. Sure, their DB was the gold standard for a long time, but their apps were always abysmal, and then of course many were cobbled together from acquisitions over the years.
Because what he describes is extortion not free market, there is a difference.

I think on a superficial level the whole system is not setup to deliver quality outcomes for anyone.
Sure, but if the cost of paying the fines for that is less than the expected loss of revenue from demonstrating, directly, that you can't keep user data safe (to a global audience, not just Europe), it's rational for Facebook to take the fines (of course, arguing via their lawyers as long as possible that they shouldn't be required to pay them - lawyer bills are harder to spin as an admission of guilt).

I don't like it, but it makes some level of sense from their perspective. We tend, globally, to prefer "gentle swat on the back of the hand" level penalties for companies that have behaved terribly.
Probably even lower indictment rates, since I’m sure a lot of paperwork get’s ‘lost’ on the more embarrassing cases.

Yes, so I take it to mean that indeed the retail trading platform (the actual term may be something else), takes zero financial risk. The broker that the retail trading platform uses to access the trading exchange takes this risk.

But the counterparty risk here is quantifiable (by way of audits of said retail trading platform) which usually in society makes it a case for insurance, not security payments. That is my question. Is the premise misstated, and if not, why is this not settled by insurance?

The three replies posted to the question above seems to disagree what the problem actually was.
The trick is to make good skin contact with your legs before you heat it up. You are a mammal and can easily dissipate over 100 watts, it is your human super power. The bottom will only get a bit warm as you pump away all the heat.

In days of old I used to keep the fans from coming on for an aluminum PowerBook with this trick.
There are tax implications to where you live and work. If you're moving around the country say one new state every month, you're required to file taxes in all the states that you've worked from and received salary.

This increases the burden on both the employer and employee.
I sympathise a lot with the developer here.

> Tried to install it from F-Droid, didn't work.

Developers get very little say in what version F-Droid builds and ships [1]. I think there are some very minor differences between the F-Droid build and the regular (open source) build when it comes to OAuth API keys - centralised mail providers often don't agree to the keys being used in those builds made by third parties.

> Nah man...don't do that if you actually want to sell a pro version. Just state it upfront and I will consider it.

Not really sure how much more the developer could do here to make it clear - the app description [2] states it contains in-app purchases (at the top). The 5th line of the description says "Almost all features are free to use, but to maintain and support the app in the long term, not every feature can be for free. See below for a list of pro features.", and there's a full list of pro feaatures lower down the description.

Not really sure if I would agree this is a dark pattern as such - I've seen far worse store listings that don't call out "pro" features until you start using the app, and discover 90% of the advertised features are paid.

Maybe I have more sympathy for open source developers, but I think it's getting increasingly difficult for them to compete with the commercial apps that are "free" (with data mining), or are paid. Looking at how regularly updated FE is, and how responsive the developer is, I imagine it could be a monthly paid subscription, based on how much time many people spend using email, and it would probably be more than worth it. Certainly looking at SV SaaS pricing, it feels that FairEmail is probably very much under-priced. And open-source too, so people really are just paying for convenience.

Comparing it with hey's email service + client at 99 USD/year, it's not easy for open source apps to compete, but it's in our collective interest for there to be good, credible open source options available.

Having spent all my childhood in India, I'm inclined to say yes.
Unlike North America's overall individualism, Indian society, in large part relies on a strong sense of community (based either on religion or class). (Of course, there is more nuance to it, and I concede that my statement is, to some extent, an oversimplification.) A direct consequence of this communal feeling then is a mob mentality that is not afraid to play vigilante. The vigilante part is only exacerbated in the absence of a fair policing and judicial system.

There have been multiple cases [1],[2] where a mob has taken matters into their own hands either out of a collective sympathy for the victim [1] or a collective animosity toward the driver [3]. There are many more instances one can find, and at the risk of sounding political, crashing into a cow will get you into more trouble than crashing into people.

Place an efficiency factor on not only teacher selection but on the curriculum which I would argue is more important than quality teachers. A well implemented curriculum with good teacher support is the biggest quality differential between schools of similar demographics. When I say curriculum I mean everything from books, to teacher hiring, results monitoring, and teacher support.

See what charter school CMOs like Kipp (targeted at underprivileged), Success Academy (targeted at NYC) and BASIS (targeted at students willing to work hard) are doing.

Many schools just take whatever teachers they can get, throw teachers into the classroom with no support, use whatever curriculum has the best sales team, and does little adjustment based on results or outcome.
I think bait bikes are a good solution. Put out a few normal looking bikes with gps trackers in them, and have stiff fines for those who get caught. Making locks safe against an angle grinder isnt really feasible, but making someone think twice before even trying because it's a bait bike might work.

That's a great idea but I don't think that it can be done. I just checked the API doc and came across this post: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/google-chrome-develo...

The post is from 2013 and the documentation doesn't clearly say that it's not possible, so there could be some hope... That being said, one could find some work-arounds to make something work even if not as nice as an item in the contextual menu.

E.g. It looks like an extension can read and write the clipboard. Then you could have an action button that just converts the cURL command in the clipboard into the Requests one. Or, more agressively, poll the clipboard and replace any cURL into Requests...

Right now, I can't think of a UX as good as a context menu in the networks panel: having an action button all the time just for that would seem like a waste of space, a DevTools tab as well, a context menu item only present if the clipboard is a cURL command would be fine because present only when needed however it'd be out of context...
I would highly recommend looking into Cal Newport's blog (Study Hacks), he has published a significant number of posts on how to learn better.

This happened to me and I was immediately emailed by AWS with an auto-generated support case: "Your AWS account ### is compromised". The emails outlined next steps like: check for unauthorized usage, delete/rotate the key, etc.

I was very surprised/impressed.
