Oh, I can tell this isn't just a thing about your company but nearly all companies in India these days. Yes arranged marriage market is a crazy place, Unless you have a tag 'manager', 'architect' the prospective girls don't care much about the boy.

And this is understandably so, some time in the 90's and early 2000's the IT sector grew rapidly and promotions and hikes happened regardless of your worth. I even know people who have just got into the industry an year or two, did some testing and report writing. Pushed and sent to an onsite location like US or Europe and the third year you are back, you are promoted to be a manager. The middle level management in most IT giants is rotting with inefficient talent promoted early.

There fore the assumption with the current generation is regardless of their merit they need to go to the 'promised lands'(US and Europe) in an year, get promoted to a Managerial designation, book a flat, buy a car, marry with heavy dowry and settle down.

That's not happening these days. So most resort to job hopping. Some even hop jobs every eight months, whats more hilarious is.. Companies giving hikes to people who hop jobs but not to the ones who stay and perform. Adding to this regional politics in office spaces, drives the genuinely good guys crazy.
Just to pile on: It's hard to overstate how large the language barrier is in Japan. For all intents and purposes, nobody speaks English and therefore you cannot speak, listen, write, or read anything during your interactions with the people around you.

I don't want to scare kmf off from coming here; you should, it's a wonderful country. Just need to manage your expectations...
it's really only a matter of time until our electric grid is compromised by someone with an agenda

Already happened, they were called Enron.
We will need Lincoln and Stevens to win this war, much like both (idealists and principled operators) were essential to defeating Slavery.

"In the end, I'm the type of person who believes that their oath to the constitution supercedes any strategic concerns."

What if they think the best way to defend the Constitution is to behave strategically and marshall their power for the best possible outcome. That seems reasonable to me.
I find it strange that there is no discussion of the performance of writing data.

Cassandra and Mongo differ hugely in this respect, and I expect you will see huge performance gains in write performance. Mongo's write locking will mean that reads will be blocked while you are inserting data. Reads in Cassandra may trigger compaction and or require sequential IO if the table has not yet been compacted, so the tradeoff is interesting
>My issue is with the idea that society is some brittle construct that's reliant on (dis)honesty, and especially the idea that you would be angry at the person who leaked a secret rather than the person holding the secret.

Well, I am sorry to say that in fact society is that brittle and you are being lied to in one fashion or another most of the time.

I do want to clarify what I mean by lying though because it would be easy to interpret what I am saying as conspiratorial. In fact what I mean is that your information diet is nearly completely full with selective information, weasel words, legalese and implied trust. The constructs between nations and even within our nation are the same and often worse than interpersonal relations. So the reason that you trust any entity is not because they are moral pillars, its because they don't show you the questionable things that people do on a day to day basis that make little difference. This is exactly the argument against the widespread intelligence gathering - everyone is doing something illegal at pretty much any time. Similarly everyone, whether they know it or not lies to others on a daily basis (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/homo-consumericus/201111...)

So yes, it really is that fragile and it is insanely magnified at the global politics level way beyond you would even imagine.
Why? Because even you are using the past tense. The genie is out of the bottle.
Then we agree.

Had other holes not been there, the fact that sV39Fw5at18zo occurs seven times probably indicates it is a common password. I would even guess it was '123456', or one of the other top four passwords.

In reality though, seven a seven bit salt serves its purpose to stop rainbow tables.
Damn, gotta open CNN to see what people are tweeting about this!
I'm with the OP. These images have not been merged together to form a single image. There is no 111 Gigapixel image out there that represents this picture. As you zoom in, you hit a different tile-layer.
This is clever, but I'd be curious to see how long the cable ties will last before dulling/breaking off. If you plan on riding with any regularity in the winter on snow/ice, the $100 for a set of studded tires is well worth it. They'll last multiple winters and don't present issues with changing tires or using rim brakes.
Good point - the question is 'under what circumstances is dd a better/only choice for this task?'

I think if you are in a rescue mode and are in a limited env (busybox/ ash type of scenario) then it is very good to know how to backup using dd...
I don't know about Perls core, but CPAN is a hotbed of new development and has been for years. Just look at the new module stream on twitter:

https://twitter.com/cpan_new

I bet there's a tonne more work going into Perl modules than Ruby gems...
"GUI" is never explicitly mentioned, but after re-reading, I'm still not sure he _didn't_ mean a GUI, but neither am I sure that he certainly meant the CLI. I've never had a problem with the git CLI, I actually preferred it over the hg one (git pipes the log into 'less' for example, and lists entries in a sane reverse order so that the most recent log entry is on top). Maybe I'm just sensitive?
But that's it. I hope they post the slides/video/text to the talk once it's done.
I find it particularly disturbing that these thoughts even find an outlet on HN which is the antithesis of the zero sum world.

Splitting the world into two sides based on some simple criterion, and assuming that one side will always have one opinion and the other side the opposite opinion, is a gross oversimplification and disrespectful of everyone involved.

To run with the taxation example, taxing the rich is not simply a matter of "less" or "more," "good" or "bad." That kind of thinking simply drives the rate to 0% or 100%. Of course there is some optimal level, and deciding whether that level is higher or lower than the current rate requires some examination of the current state of affairs, not just a cartoon narrative that always says "less" or "more" no matter what the current situation is.

Policy decisions have to be based in facts and reality. I find it flabbergasting to see on HN -- where we are supposed to be hackers, people adept at working with concrete technology that is not amenable to rhetoric (could you please persuade my code it should run faster?) -- I am flabbergasted to see someone suggest that a gross misconception about reality is harmless, and that drawing attention to such a misconception should be stigmatized as "scaremongering." The author doesn't hide his political leaning, but he limits his editorializing to a few stray comments, and he makes an excellent point about the importance of facts: "It's fine if reasonable people have different ideas about whether we should extend the Bush tax cuts for people making more than $250,000. Or think estate taxes are unfair. But when we have those debates, it's critical that everyone has a clear understanding of how things really are."

If anything should be accepted as fair in political argument, it's the presentation of facts, unless you wish to challenge their accuracy.

Finally, as a point of rhetoric: By disagreeing with the above, by stigmatizing facts as "scaremongering" without challenging their accuracy, and by assuming that the presentation of these facts has an inherently redistributionist implication, you appear to be endorsing the slogan, "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." You may want to consider making your point in a different way to avoid this perception.
You're missing the point. The point is that there is still a huge portion of the world who do not own computers, do not have an internet connection, and have never used the web before, ever.

What's the entry point for those people? Likely it's the smartphone, due to reasons of price, local infrastructure, and distribution mechanisms.
When you are using the resources of an API, you are entering a community. And when you abuse another respected member of the community, it responds.

These bookmarking services weren't cutting off a developer client to protect themselves, which I consider more dangerous. They were throwing their weight behind Reeder.

Checks and balances.
This is pretty convincing for me—I've been holding off on switching from bash for years now.

The single thing keeping me back is that bash is the shell to use, and some scripts you need to setup xxx thing are written for bash, and trying to debug some small difference in behavior between zsh and bash is something I don't want to find myself doing.

Has anyone else not switched because of this, or switched after grappling with similar issues? What are your thoughts?
I'm unconvinced - what verifiable memory feats are presented? If asked "what were you doing on such and such a date 20 years ago", they can say anything and who can contradict them?

Perhaps they simply are good storeytellers. Which is a feat in itself.
its seems to me that using a trick like Clojure uses to omit functions from being exported (defn vs defn-) and inferring the module name from the file name, would be better than to have to manually list them.
SQL, because I never feel rushed, the language makes sense, and all I'm doing is handing a recipe for matrix transforms to a query optimizer.

It's one of the few places that I really feel the magic of programming that was lost with the advent of the IDE, Java, etc.
Huh. I do this all the time and it doesn't seem to affect it.

I registered http://three.do, my to-do list app that helps you get your top three priorities done for the day, for $150 on 101domain.com, which is $100 cheaper than the $250 registration from Gandi.net.

Is there a way to alert the site of cheaper alternatives?
And over 70% of emails are spam[1], so we should route every email we send through the FBI/NSA?

I generally wouldn't suggest learning about sexuality first-hand from ones relatives. :|

So, once upon a time I too was very much concerned about making one too many mistakes--part of learning is figuring out that those mistakes are a)somewhat expected of you as a maturing sexual entity and b)harmless.

As long as you treat other people with respect and try to be a good person, your romantic screwups (and you will have romantic screwups) will just be slightly stressful learning experiences.

One thing that I've noticed is that it seems modern intellectual and enlightened internet culture is the worst possible place to discover and explore your own sexuality.

Abnormal urges are treated as standard, and normal urges are treated as discriminatory, barbaric, unseemly, or criminal. Go interact with normal people at bars or coffee shops or social events and see what you can see--it is going to be very hard to find positive role models online in the places you'd normally expect wise elders.

Hell, you're honestly better off looking through 4chan than you are any of the conservative, progressive, or technical sites here.
Rob Pike, one of the creators of Go, said so:

> Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++.[1]

I thought this was obvious, considering their initial approach to promote Go: "Go is a systems language". But now they abandoned the phrasing.

Which makes them much better at not losing their life savings, hence the regs.
> If Apple were a different company, it would've made maps available for use on web browsers and non-Apple devices. That could also help in a more rapid improvement of maps as opposed to the mostly-useless state it's been in (except for a few countries and regions in certain countries that Apple likes and works more on).

If apple would have done that (for Maps and other services), how would it be different than Google?

Google offers these services for free to the end-user and generates revenue from ads.

Apple is using these services to sell more hardware devices, and generates revenue from there.
I went in expecting to hate it, but I ended up actually liking the idea. Since I'm looking at this from a work perspective, a whiteboard would be nice!
Ah, someone else !

I live in fear they will be removed from PyCharm - every time I update one of the Jetbrains editors and the Netbeans bindings aren't there, I'm lost.
Yes, you absolutely hit what I was thinking! I was thinking the 6" Dobs would be portable, the 8" still ok, but past that ... probably not so much!
AFAIK in Ontario, it's illegal to use "engineer" in your job title without a professional engineering license, including software engineer. Most people don't bother getting it because it's unnecessary for most dev jobs and I doubt it's actively enforced unless there's an incident that resulted in loss of life.
> English people of the 19th century believed that Chinese people spoke in a way that was deliberately unintelligible

Thinking a race of people are deliberately confusing and unintelligible isn't racism?

I said minor nitpick. No I don't think "it's greek to me" holds the same prejudice at all. Perhaps closer to saying "excuse my French" after swearing (also cringe worthy).
Yup. For work that can be done remotely, I think there are only two stable points. One is where you and your colleagues are in the same space almost all your working time. The other is full remote probably with occasional get-togethers for bonding and close collaboration. (Monthly to quarterly are the common frequencies I see.)

I suspect anything in between won't work very well. "Come in when you like" is obviously untenable; if there's no knowing when your colleagues will be in the office, then there's not much point in going in either. (Except maybe to near-to-home cafes and coworking spaces, which I expect to become more popular.) All of the N-days-a-week compromises end up seeming pretty arbitrary.

I honestly really enjoy close, collocated collaboration. But it seems so impractical to get all the right people close enough that the productivity bump is worth the commute. I expect I'll be working mostly remote from now on.
I guess I used "loophole" because the whole program is a loophole. Typically exempts you from inspections, no international drivers license needed, you buy coupons that relieve the fuel tax, we use weird number plates as you mention (not the ones from home, but military off-duty plates). I had an old LHD Opel Rekord from Germany when I was in the UK, like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Rekord#/media/File:Opel_R...
Read again:

> Are you willing to pay for it? How much? Can you get more people to commit to it? For how long?
I would agree with that. There is often a practical question motivating comp sci and mathematical discoveries. The difference from Darwin's case is the mathematical conclusions are never wrong, regardless of the underlying motivation. That is what I mean by culture free. Change in culture cannot change the validity of mathematical deductions. On the other hand, Darwin's conclusions in Descent of Man are wrong, and he appears to have drawn these conclusions due to his cultural bias.

Congrats on completing a book, on an interesting topic, and with a reduced line spacing option.
It was better with the credit buried. Those who know, know. There was this delightful, hopeful, uncertainty at first. "Is he going to pull a Louis CK riff? I think he is...yes!"

Then it was a matter of seeing if he was going to drop the ball (there were some fumbles) but maybe "x is awesome and nobody is happy" will be the aristocrats for a less obscene demographic.

So yeah, we can bitch about the 19 location-aware social cloud startups announced each day, but it's also good to get frickin' excited with what you can do for free with some stuff you download onto a laptop while on an airplane.

Imagine going up to your 8-year old self and saying,"You know that Atari 800 you love second only to your dog? Look at my PHONE! It could tell you the weather right where we are, without having to tell it where we were! I could look up what you were doing right now! Um, look at these birds going after these pigs!"

I think my biggest gripe with vim is vimscript... and next is that other languages are optionally compiled in.

VIM with only lua, or, since regexps are weird in lua, guile, or heck, even a fast ECMAscript but garrenteed to be the same on all platforms would be great...

I've pondered the idea of a "VIM redux" project, not being backwards compatible, but throwing out old cruft, such as vimscript, "embed all the languages but unequally so you can never tell what plugins a system will support!", vi-compatible default mode, and put on some different defaults like syntax highlighting, etc.

I don't think I'll ever like vimscript... so maybe I should buy the book. :-)
>That said, I'm confident that there is no nation state on Earth that hasn't done these things.

Will a web-bot be able to automatically order self-driving cars to pick up robots so they can peaceably assemble outside Utah data centers?
Completely mis-placed argument, although an interesting data point. Janet Yellen is fighting a massive PR battle to win the fed job. This article is clearly a PR plant, its obvious because there is no discussion or culpability attributed to Clinton or the Democratic party or other operatives (president directly is responsible for the WTO via the executive). The co-incidental exclusion of the predisent and the treasury secretary (presumably to protect Ms Clinton's 2016 political position) is the hallmark of a pro, not a reporter. What kind of PR uses vice.com to support a candidate for the FED?

You should stop being a victim. You should simply get a lower paying job at a cheap location and remove her from your credit card.
Just make sure it is only internal software you'll be working on. Otherwise those small companies will have you doing customer support on the phone too.
perhaps we're thinking of politics in different senses - it is, after all, quite an overloaded word. I meant politics as in people's personal perspective and beliefs about the world. I agree that engaging in the politics of changing our governance for the better is necessary.
I won't argue that. I'm quite concerned about the power-grab taking place. Elected administrators clearly see themselves as rulers who can issue dictates almost arbitrarily with little regard for their effectiveness or necessity. The emergency powers that most, including myself, supported last year have been turned into open-ended excuses for unchecked power. However, the anti-vaxers and COVID-is-a-hoax folks aren't helping either. I've lost one friend personally and known several people who lost friends or relatives. The virus is real, and the vaccine is a huge tool for stopping the suffering and loss. (And no, I do NOT support mandated vaccine passports either.)
There's also DeltaChat: It looks more or less like WhatsApp, but it uses email as the transport and storage mechanisms, and it is seamlessly encrypted with AutoCrypt. It supports both one-on-one and group chats. It has apps for mobile and desktop.

It would be fun stuff to build, but I feel like you'd struggle to make money. Google and Amazon can afford to give away the hardware, and they can smuggle their ecosystem into your house as a thermostat or a smart speaker or a phone app, or whatever.

Like, how do you persuade the audience of enthusiasts (think: Unifi buyers) to pay for a subscription to managed software they run on their own computers, raspis, whatever? I would probably spend $10/mo on something like that, but much above that and you'd be fighting against the armchair commentary of users who won't appreciate the effort that goes into stability and will basically have a "no wireless, less space than a Nomad, lame" attitude.
While I agree with your points I'll add that Dvorak is far from the ultimate layout. For instance just try to type 'ls', which as a command-line user you'll do a lot.

People are different and will prefer different layouts. Colemak DH is a very popular and very good one, if you dislike using your pinkies the BEAKL style layouts are very good and if you have a split keyboard you might want E on one of the thumbs so RSTHD might be good. There are many, many more and you can also tweak them or create a completely new one.

Oh I'll add tenting as a good thing explore.
iOS has supported ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), I think since day one, but at least for a long while. You can convert FLACs to ALAC without any loss in quality obviously, but the coding tends to be a bit more efficient for FLAC.
Both versions have NVMe inside them, actually.

Not that that means anything for performance. NVMe just means that it uses PCIe.

Since the external port is USB, the internal use of NVMe is actually a downside. The drive actually has two separate circuit boards inside. One of them takes up space and power just to convert NVMe to USB, and wouldn't exist in a better design.

True, though /proc/cpuinfo only reports the size, which is ultimately what the CPU cares about. Plus the most relevant limit is what your motherboard and wallet supports, which is often far lower.
