Both my (Swiss) credit cards (Mastercard, Amex) from one of the biggest banks are at least 1% cashback.
Legacy. MySQL used to be very popular in the late-90s and early-2000s as part of a broader MySQL+PHP web stack. But that was before PostgreSQL got good enough (including wrt. performance) for that sort of simple use case. Nowadays, there's really no reason not to go for Postgres.
Does Hawkins do that? I've not watched this one yet, but his talks are always much more high-level than that I think, and while his work is under the general umbrella of artificial intelligence, what he is actually trying to do is to emulate the human neo-cortex in gritty detail.
I suspect (and I've heard tell, but I have no data to support this), that the UK universities cannot afford the same salaries as their US counterparts.

If your a prof and you have two offers (let's stay technical as it's HN):

1 Cambridge - £90,000/year (~$160,000) and you can go and watch the boat race (yay)

2 MIT (or caltech, berkley, princeton etc etc) - $400,000/year and you can live somewhere where it doesn't rain for 10 months of the year

Now which would you choose?

NB - figures pulled out of my ass, but I suspect that the ratio is probably accurate enough (ie US unis can afford to pay 2* UK).

One of my professors talked about the day he hoped the UK system would allow universities to become private institutions (they're quasi-private now in that 'foreign' students are charged a lot more than 'home/EU' students where the fees are capped)
Also, if your target customers are students, I highly suggest you go to universities and talk to the students, get the idea what they think about the advice and what influence it has on them.

I think most people here are better than average. The result may be different from what you really need.
I feel like someone is gonna get in big trouble for this.

I'd be really curious to hear Basecamp's opinion on Gumroad, and how they'd compare and contrast their own experience with it (Basecamp is the new name of 37signals).
Totally agree. I was replying more about why I chose to pay off my house vs. sitting in a mortgage for X more years so that I can put more money into the market.

During the time I was paying off my house, I did put money into the market. I just prioritized money going towards the house. Now that the house is paid off, all that prior mortgage payment money is going into the market.
> you just add a record whenever you do the jump, exactly like what you’re describing with inlined calls

Add another record where? On some kind of stack of records from calls? That will grow linearly with the number of calls? So that's a call-stack is it? The whole point of TCO was to eliminate the stack and you've re-invented it there! If you have an infinite tail-call (like a web server accepting requests in a loop) you'll have an infinitely long list of records with your idea.

> It’s certainly not something that is common, or commonly understood as a requirement for optimization.

In many languages (Python, Ruby, Java, etc) they are not debug information - they're part of the program semantics and (from experience!) if you change them you'll break programs.
For me the 3000 looked too much like an IBM PS2. The 1000 looked simple and clean.
> How?

By intimidation, at a minimum, and potentially (though this wasn't acheived) by (potentially selective) destruction of the electoral vote certificates and violence against the persons of legislators (including the Vice President, who some involved have pointed to as a specific target.)

> Yes it got stalled for a few hours while everything was going down, but after folks got their selfies and pilfered swag it was done.

That's because, despite being too overwhelmed to prevent the Capitol from being taken, the security forces at the Capitol were able to execute an effective delaying and evacuation effort, getting the legislators and electoral votes to safety.

> Yes it got stalled for a few hours while everything was going down, but after folks got their selfies and pilfered swag it was done.

It wasn't “done”, as many of the insurrectionists explicitly stated the intent to return and continue violence until and unless their goals are met.
The other route is to take the oncall shifts and make the platform so reliable that it's basically an insurance premium you collect. I've done this at other companies and over a year or two is actually doable especially if you get the team onboard--who doesn't want fewer pages or monitoring noise in Slack.

It's not only the time/money but first-hand exposure to system issues.
Tesla probably overcharges for out of warranty maintenance and repairs and wants to keep that margin for themselves. Also other trade secrets related to their service biz that they want to stay secret. But this means they either need to build 10x the SCs over the next decade or risk losing customers over time as people get fed up with maintenence issues.
That sure would make it easier if the regulation is written as "you must use the same supplier" and they can just say "yup, it me".
It's defined that way in the article
In fact is not related with mathematics or biology. Is just a literary problem. They are not paying enough attention to the inner flow of their work.

An example:

"This is the field where one STUDIES the locus of

solutions of

sets of

polynomial equations

by combining the algebraic properties of

the rings of

polynomials with

the geometric properties of

this locus,

known as a variety.

Traditionally, this HAD MEANT complex solutions of

polynomials with

complex coefficients but

just prior to Grothendieck's work,

Andre Weil and Oscar Zariski HAD REALIZED that

much more scope and insight WAS GAINED by

considering solutions and

polynomials over

arbitrary fields,

e.g. finite fields or

algebraic number fields."

........
This is "almost lisp code" in its structure.

The inner flow here is really dislocated here with all those interruptions and changes of direction and meaning. There is also a problem with the timeline. They talk in the same paragraph about at least four, maybe five different moments in time, shown in this order: 5,1,4,3 and maybe 2 (being 1 the oldest and 5 the current time). This is driving to distraction to the reader probably (I find it pretty annoying at least)
It amazes me that the very first personal computer I had was effectively useless without being able to write your own software. It wasn"t an Apple ][ but they encouraged software development, it was a huge part of 8 bit culture.

40 years later, trying to get something running on a modern Mac is painful, and they gatekeep it with Xcode and a variety of user hostile features. They have become what they despised in that 1984 commercial.

It makes me just a little angry. No wonder people are so nostalgic for 8 bit stuff.
I just checked it out, on your recommendation :-) Uh, there's only about one philosopher/fictional character mentioned per page in the first 10 pages, and not unnecessary mentions. Very disappointed. /s It's very readable too. (Well, it would be but I don't read bleak writers these days. From everything I've heard, Camus was vastly superior as man and writer to Sartre. I read a lot of Sartre decades ago and don't recommend it.)
I don’t see why legislators would have a desire to prevent that. But businesses might, and some require some proof of living in CA for things like CCPA requests, like a mailing address or ID in CA.
I don't know why you got downvoted, but capital controls are very much the other side of the same coin.

My take is that we should aim for balanced international trade (not quotas, but balance), and that would require either capital controls or import/export controls at least to establish, and probably (but more flexibly) to maintain that order.
> I'm not sure that's a bridgeable gulf.

He thinks that it is. In telling you that you're taking too long, he's also saying that he has some constructive ideas about how to reduce that time.

He may need some help to "show you how it should be done", but you should insist that he do so because he has pointed out that this is an important issue.

You really don't want to argue about his competence.
Definitely a proof of concept, and not the shortest walk to the solution. But, haven't we all been thinking 4SQ / social media is all about friends, tweets, coupons and mayorships... this proof of concept shows 4SQ could one day solve business problems, like presence too.

I think that's just neato!
Alternatively, I hope Apple is furious, and working as hard as they can to get iphones on other carriers. While I'm sure the exclusivity made the initial release easier for Apple, a lot of customers are waiting to get an iphone on a different carrier.
Dodgy how? There's always loads of people there every night of the week: it's very safe.

Wow! ALT +right works for me, Left doesn't (perhaps that is disabled on my system).

Great tip!
Taking the Facebook permissions window as an example, I can't see why having a checkbox next to each permission would be complicated. Give developers the opportunity to grey those checkboxes out (i.e. this app relies fundamentally on this permission, you can't run without it) and get them to check for the presence of the remainder- and you're done.
"Is there some reason we have to have brands?"

This questions is very odd. "Is there some reason we have to have brands?" is the same as asking "Is there some reason we need Nouns in english?"

Nouns/brands allow people to communicate effectively with one another... who they are going to be involved in... who to trust... who to avoid...

The opposite of having brands is... Foo-Roulette, where everything you do is met with guys randomly showing you their cocks.
I hope they add support for JIT with the Stackless features.
Did either of you read the article? The control group picked "their least important values and wrote about why these might matter to other people." The article says nothing about how either men or women perform without a values exercise.
If anyone is interested, I just added all the examples from the official Lua demo to trylua.org. Clicking on the various examples populate the interactive console.
I think the reason we focus on the 'what' is our own fear of death. We ask to check in our heads how likely it is for that thing to happen to us.

I do this very thing on a legal pad, except before "get the unit tests to pass", I add a box that I can check off because checking boxes makes me feel nice.

One advantage of physical paper for the journal is that it doesn't take up screen real-estate or require switching tabs to enter into it. Another advantage is that I don't have to clear it out when I get done with a task. I just turn the page.
I use this as well and can confirm that it works.
That depends on where you live. In some more urban areas, huge Walmarts and Wegmans are nowhere to be found. I find Safeway and Giant to be the bargin places when comparing to Harris Teeter or Whole Foods in my area. (Arlington, VA)
Can you say a little bit more about why DP is more suited for computers than HDMI?
I think this is pretty much bullshit. The only part I agree with is full-time status... but that's a no brainer. The rest are "pretend realities." There's no reason why a CEO should get more, nor the person who came up with the idea... and the article doesn't have any more convincing an argument than "market realities."

As for reputation, it depends. I do think having someone who's a "name" as a cofounder is helpful, but does that "name" actually mean anything? I guess it could if you refer to the equity equation.

http://www.paulgraham.com/equity.html

Still, I think going for the "married couple" approach of as close to equal as possible makes sense. Finding an equal cofounder seems crucial.
Same here, 13" 4GB MBA, bought after my neighbor's apartment fire forced me to get a new system for the 4.5mos without my old computers. Got it all back eventually. I use my MBA constantly, at work and home (hooked up to a 24" at home). I have a W7 quadcore w/ 3 monitors that I only use for Photoshop/server stuff.

Best purchase I've made in a long time, that MBA.

The followup, "Inequality in Equalland": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2087267

Key thought: people in this survey prefer one distribution over another due to emotion and bias, not because of principled reasoning.

Thanks!
Shapiro's inclusion of Microsoft's founders is interesting because recently Paul Allen has described the host of problems unequal division of equity caused [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2386908]. It's hard to argue against Microsoft's success, but then again it is hard to argue against Google's founder split either.

Shapiro makes a good point about not avoiding tough decisions, on the other hand, Spolsky's approach avoids picking a fight unnecessarily - just as not trusting the CEO to run the company is a mistake, likewise if a person's biggest concern on day one is who owns how much of something worthless in terms of dollars you probably have selected the wrong cofounder as well.
Seems already configurable:

-> Settings -> Show the number of blocked requests on the icon
> It is often blocking the false positives

It's the filter lists. Use the same filter lists with any other blockers which support ABP-filter syntax, and you will get the same result.

> named one of their assets file with social media names like "twitter/facebook/etc", it blocks the file right away

I have removed Fanboy's Social Blocking list from the pre-selected lists since a while now.[1]

I have to say that I had assumed -- wrongly obviously -- that all users knew that what is blocked or not depends completely on what filter lists are selected. So in your case it would have been a matter of un-selecting Fanboy's Social Blocking list.

CS4 was widely panned and coupled with the poor economy, many companies skipped it. Adobe took a loss this quarter last year. The article doesn't state it but many CS3 owners have upgraded to CS5 because of the improving economy, some new features and not wanting to be too far behind software revisions.
The weather effects in The Day After Tomorrow were ripped off from the 1979 novel The Sixth Winter by Douglas Orgill and John Gribbin. Specifically, the super-cold storm centers were an "expanded for video" version of the "Ice Dancer" storms from the novel; they are unique enough in my rather extensive reading that I noticed the similarity immediately. (For that matter, the same director's later movie, 2012, borrowed rather strongly from Don Pendleton's 1969 novel Cataclysm, though from the credits that may have been indirectly.)
@dwc: sensible answer to a "problem" that made my head spin. Thanks for your insight. Much appreciated.

As far as "broadening your skill as a developer", it's another story. Maybe I should become self employed so I can finally master one trade and stop being the jack of so many.
Thank you I didnt know that Google had an ad server !!
Thanks. Agreed on the design that it needs improvement. Could you please elaborate little more. Might be able to fix few.

>Sure but threats and negotiations work if you actually have the bigger gun and leverage. Given that the US is both the largest economy and military power this feels like a moot point.

China's growing influence and Russia's influence on international politics clearly show that it's not about absolute power but how you apply it. Europe is large enough and powerful enough that the US can't invade it or cause massive economic damage without significantly hurting itself. Europe has massive leverage in negotiations and politics and diplomacy. It just fails to use it likely because it's not unified enough to fully and quickly apply it.

Please stop blaming Europe's diplomatic failures on external factors. All that does is ensure that they will continue to happen because you won't blame the government that is actually at fault.

I installed Windows 95 and 98se in DOSBox-X, it's pretty neat. Unfortunately my main motivation, an old Windows game called The Divide: Enemies Within runs poorly, either with software mode or using the emulated voodoo. On vintage hardware I could run the game at 320x240 with a good frame rate on a Pentium 100 mhz, but this setup doesn't allow anything lower than 640x480. Sigh..

In anycase this is a great project, and it's nice to be able to run Windows 9x in dosbox, something standard dosbox did not do reliably.
"So blame Europe for not successfully countering it rather than the US for knowing how to play the game."

Says the bully.
Stop giving your Facebook apps access to your contacts. Newly added contacts were also showing up as suggestions in Facebook and Instagram until I turned this off. iOS and Android give you all the control you need to stop this from happening you just have to use it.

I was just thinking how much PH has turned to shit lately when I saw this in #2 spot today:

Really? A Wordpress "Linkbuildr" that automates spamming emails when you write posts? And nothing but praise in the comments? PH has become a joke and we definitely need some ethical competition in the product discovery space.

He spoke about regulation (either self imposed or governmental) against widely disseminating provably false and harmful content.

I realize that's a controversial idea for obvious reasons. But to dismiss it outright as finding "other people" who will "tell you how to think" is disingenuous.
Actually homomorphic encryption always ends up running as slow as the worse case, so you can’t do a sidechannel attack by looking at the computation time.
Glancing at the table of contents, it seems like it covers an excellent breadth of useful topic for reverse engineers/hackers/those interested in how their computer works. One part of that will be a working knowledge of assembly, of course, so that’s why the book tries to give a somewhat fast-paced intro to it. But you’ll see that there are other things covered too.
what do these upvotes mean? that you approve of me moving to Jekyll or that you experienced nginx errors on my site?
I think it comes down to the question of; if you're passing data over a secure channel (SSL), does that fall within the U.S. governments compliance requirements. mickdj had a link with a comment in it discussing this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2135081/does-my-applicati... although, it's from earlier this year...
You should probably take what I write with a grain of salt, because I have seen so much stuff go wrong over the time, I tend to be overly cautious.

My (admittedly somewhat unqualified) advice would be:

- Go ahead and slash costs by as much as you can. And then some. If vendors simply defer payment instead of waiving/reducing it, things can get _very_ dangerous, so make sure you incorporate a limited liability company as a shield if you haven't already done so. And it wouldn't hurt to talk to some lawyers.

- If your gut tells you not to partner up with this guy (and essentially give him your company in the process): don't do it! If it feels bad now, it will only get worse! Look for a real VC and/or possibly a bank deal. Maybe you can set up something with those partners who already operate in this space?

- If you currently have no customers, maybe it's worth considering to hold off on buying these external services until you really need them. This may or may not be applicable to your situation, I don't know. But if the only reason for using these vendors right now is to give realistic demos and to have infrastructure in place just-in-case, it might be worth putting it on hold until you launch for real.
How much are you ever deriving on the fly when answering programming questions? You aren't goint to reinvent computer science on the spot, you're going to apply the vast knowledge and experience you hopefully have. The problem in the story is so basic that I would assume anyone who got it right had run into a similar problem before.
As of right now 2,649 people have pre-ordered 2,742 wristbands. In 27 days the creators will receive $190,812 (Kickstarter takes a five percent cut) to manufacture and ship those 2,742 wristbands. It took three days for all this to happen, 27 more to go.

I don’t know whether 2,649 people want to wear it but they at least want to buy it. It’s definitely a Kickstarter success story. What’s the point you are making?
And for most, those hours were passed on to clients, so there's probably some meta-comment about impact to the economy that IE has had.
Uh, hmm, y'know considering that the XBox was a single core clocked at 733mhz with 512mb of shared RAM at a time when your average gaming PC was packing approximately twice ghat power plus a discrete graphics card, I can't help but think that the fact that the developers knew the exact performance characteristics of the machine made it a lot easier to wrench a lot of power out of it.

Also, it stuck around for at least 4 years.

There has got to be something to the fact that they didn't stick with an x86 architecture for the next revision as well.
The asteroids one to destroy the current page is still at the top of my list.

I don't mean hardcore, nuts and bolts stuff, just that they're more involved with managing how the operating system behaves. And I'm not saying this, I was inferring from Gruber, who notes how many task managers, etc., are the most popular apps.
Well: if it works, is understandable, decently documented, and reasonable performant, then who cares if it seems weird?

On the other hand, if you can show (with data) that structuring it this way impedes performance, slows dow the development process, causes structural instability, or will fail at web-scale, then it might be something to worry about.

Our opinions about the architecture don't really matter. If you can find objective metrics for which the architecture is will fail to live up to the needs of the program, then that matters quite a bit more.
The referenced Pew study is even more interesting: http://www.people-press.org/2015/01/08/the-politics-of-finan....

Some correlations I haven't seen before. The most secure voters were 3x as likely to vote as the least secure. Preference for democrats was about the same for every category of security, but preference for republicans was 3x higher among the most secure (with the difference coming at the expense of other/not sure).
Call and apply are core concepts to writing good javascript. I would not hire someone (at least for any sort of senior role) that could not tell you exactly how both of them work. Many of the other things on this page are certainly "trivia" that could be addressed by google when they come up, but not those.
