What's your MBTI (Myers-Briggs) type? It can be of help in finding the kind of work that's suitable for you.

Something else, don't rely on a job for experience. Most programming jobs (specially if they're boring) sap away your experience instead of enriching it; they make you a worse programmer than what you already are or what you could've been.
No idea what you mean. They're setting a benchmark of an expandable fibre connection to 93% of Australia. How can you spin that as bad? As for usage: more. Technology use always expands to fill capacity.
That's very normal; founders usually have mostly common, and sometimes have extra restrictions. The other commenter is right, though - anyone with influence in a transaction typically comes out better, and founders are often in such a position.
I prefer teuxdeux.com, but Workflowy looks good, the export feat is nice

It's not necessarily a superset of useful or life enhancing; e.g. an alcoholic and alcohol.

The best case for an Ad vendor is if they can convert you into a productoholic, trigger your desire, and then satiate it. "ad mortem", as it were.

Ad vendors don't want the best for you. They want the most profitable for them. When everything is terrible, improved ads could be good for both - they profit from things you were going to buy anyway. At any other time, discerning individual nuances of your life is difficult and intensive, blanket trying to change what you want instead is much cheaper.
this is a really good article; novices can almost use it as a "how to scale x" or "scalability and optimizations: how to". good read.
The same thing happened to me.
Almost exactly. Rails again. S3 bucket for images. Following along with 1monthrails this time. Pushed the key, fell asleep, awoke to Amazon warnings and a $2000+ bill. Also removed.

I wonder how often this happens. Are they mining bitcoins?
What horse pucky. The first Unix systems were used by Bell Labs' patent department to process patent applications. It was this first customer of the Unix group that sponsored the development of Unix for many of its formative years.
That's vague enough that it might very well have happened before desktop plan9 was practical for everyday use.
I now use bitbucket.
There really ought to be a way to cap your bill. Alarms aren't enough when large bills can be run up overnight.

Spot on. He's clearly too smart and too critical to love all his products as much as he pretends. He can probably tell you thirty things he would fix about the 4G iPhone. (Or you can just wait until he releases the next version.) The mark of an innovator is perpetual dissatisfaction.
The app is from Fliggo, which was offering an on-demand video platform if I remember correcly, which they put to use themselves in twitvid.io, later renamed vid.ly. (~Twitpic for videos)

So, all this time, they've been concentrating on that and changed direction recently. (see last paragraphs of linked article and Crunchbase for more details)
You're way underestimating how deeply locked in Facebook (just as an example) is to how it handles photos. I think treehouse stands a good chance of staying differentiated for a long time.
That's a really nice feature, since the form factor is such a bullet point for the product.
Wow! Cool app! Here is another great app for males oriented toward other men http://www.cupid.com/gay-dating.htm . A good fiend of mine met his soulmate on there.
Actually mentioning digg just reinforces my point - there's relationships and then there's cronyism. Because digg did get money to some investors - presumably the same ones who got invited to the right parties.

And invariably we'll have to listen to various people from this company blovating about how smart, and creative, and witty they are.
sell themselves and "sell" their product (to 400k users) in exchange for time and attention.

as the GP suggests, startups are about a lot more than tech - selling, it turns out, is also valuable.
This is exactly the reason why I shouldn't become an enterpreneur: apparently my reality distortion field is totally incompatible with everybody else's. If somebody had walked through my door a couple of months ago and told me: "Here's this new company, they let you create "your personal splash page" on the web. Would you like to invest?", I probably would have laughed them out of my office.
The last time I saw a FizzBuzz post, I wrote a fairly typical mod and if version, and one that used a mod and lookup table both in C.

It turned out the compiler (clang and I think gcc as well) had converted the branchy version into a lookup table, that ran a tiny bit faster then the lookup table by hand. The assembly looked fairly similar so it was something fairly subtle, but I was out of my depth at that point.
Is there any reason ticket sales happen like this, rather than just selling directly from the venue? Why is scalping a crime, why not just sell at market price to begin with?
I sure hope you will, it's a great concept.
Without having seen Gasland, my impression is that if it's the "opposing side" of those websites, it must be a work of genius. If JimmaDaRustia wept for humanity after seeing Gasland, well, I do the same when I see how easily people are manipulated by really dumb political lobbying materials.
> i can't imagine myself using any Microsoft product if Apple provides it.

Did you try microsoft mice?
God I love honey.
Although it's nice to see which compiler performs best, I'm really curious as to why one compiler outperforms another for the same language. What's gcc's achilles heel for example? (it seems to consistently do worse for every language it's use for)
I find it very unlikely that a Telco will voluntarily do the police work. These things are probably part of some international treaties and doing it legally will be hard, even if they do it and block a telco from one of the worlds most populous country the scammers can simply change SIM cards and use a new operator.

The scam calls are probably very, very small percentage of the call volume. Why would a telco start international dispute, deny calls for their legitimate customers?

What's more likely is that the US and India sign some kind of cooperation for fighting crimes and scammers being dealt with by the Indian authorities upon request by the US ones.
+1 thanks to OP for asking the question. Having a lot of fun reading through the responses
Yeah some jealous "communities" poisoned the water. It's really sad.
>...However, they were later slightly more optimistic, writing, "it may also be the start of something good... there may be a path forward. We don't want to comment on next steps until that path is at least visible to us"

How on earth can people just shake off a loss of $182MM? And is this one of those contracts? Have the courts ruled that code is law, and that a poorly implemented and exploitable contract is legal? There is so much wrong with this.
That's an interesting idea, and is effectively a trial run of fully removing a feature. Though, does that imply that you're working in a codebase without automated testing? With automated testing, the "accidental" breakage would be more likely to be caught.
Not mentioned here is that the sites Kitboga uses are actually fakes that he coded himself to look real to the scammer. This includes banking, retail, and even the Google Play sites, which he uses to pretend he redeemed a gift card which makes scammers really angry.
Lol. You're not speaking the same English bub.
I skim read the article, but I think the author is absolutely right, only for those Resource specific instances he pointed out that need to to have an explicit lifetime.

For everything else, there is garbage collection.
Since the two main comments in this thread are unnecessary negative, I will point out the ongoing discussion in /r/cpp:

The author of the post is also participating there.
Interesting. Any other brands/models that have this modular design? I bought a Gateway (super cheap for the features) for work/gaming. Unfortunately, the build quality sucks. I should have known better, but I thought I was getting a bargain.

I must say the HP's that dayjob hands out are pretty darn tough, but also super expensive.
Thanks! It's definitely made our lives easier.
As it should be. I like to think of journalism as the softest science in that it has a lot of subtlety - hidden connections and dimensions - but ultimately the objective is to be able to infer the state of the world at some time - be it past, present of future - based on some partial information. And just like in regular science, collective knowledge can be leveraged and built upon if enough people take it upon themselves to do spot checks verifying the accuracy of accounts of events to which you might have an informational advantage. This can be via witnessing events first hand or have pre existing depth or via direct consumption of the raw primaries or just going on a dive.
> They could still do all this shit without the walled garden.

They do. MacOS isn't a walled garden.

> They're anti-competitive

Have you heard of this little company from Washington called Microsoft? They have something like 85% of the PC market. There is another OS called Linux. About 85-90% of the internet runs on it.

I can understand a little where people get the idea the iPhone is anti-competitive, but we're talking about MacOS here.
All those are the same reasons between 2 years ago, when they were barely wearing any protection (except in surgery rooms) and now, when they're blowing almost biohazard-level protection (including masks and/or face shields).

The only variable that has changed is a respiratory virus.
Apple did that for a while with MkLinux before settling on NEXTSTEP. It ran fine on PPC Macs, and was based on a Mach microkernel. I converted lots of unused PowerMacintoshes nobody wanted (with MacOS 8 I can't blame them) at my then company to Unix workstations with that. When I later visited, every developer had one on their desk along their x86 PC.

It's probably easier.
I was in Montreal for 4 years before moving to SF so maybe I can help a little. I've also been using uber from the moment they started and have used it in multiple cities.

Apart from the basic benefit of not having to get your wallet out, I'd say it's the option of choosing between different type of rides that I like the most. In SF via uber we can get taxis, uberx (basically Lyft, some drivers do both), black cars, and SUVs.

In Montreal I don't remember ever getting a black car, but I was student at ÉTS so maybe that's a moot point :)

For your last question, SF has a developed taxi network but it's really bad. Montréal in that regard is much better, but maybe when leaving the bar at 3AM you'd rather get a black car to take you home rather than a taxi from Hochelag, and uber would make that really easy for you.
> It's the supervisor trees that are missing and cannot currently be implemented though.

On a language level the support seems to be there, and not radically different from what Erlang offers. The pre-built libraries that make up OTP for Erlang aren't there and you have to build your own, but the underlying structure seems to be there.
I build and deploy openstack private/public clouds and our business is booming.

Personally, I think the important lesson here is to see that the barrier to entry to deploy your own cloud, of any size, is extremely low at this point.

Personally, this has galvanized me to figure out a way to help people deploy their own, secure, micro-cloud stacks with the ability to deploy your own services. I'd love to chat with HNers about this - as I believe there is a whole new market, industry opening up at this point; Fractalization of the web.
Botulism is very real and very scary. I wouldn't risk it on pasteurization.

I would also not recommend pasteurized honey - it destroys a lot of what makes honey good when you heat it so high.
If so, the social worker would have provided resources. Now think about how such a requirement would play out among the pool of foster parents. The image of ordinary people setting up local DNS servers is absurd in a world where the speaker jack has to be color coded.

The underlying current feels like a fear of liability. A pity if so.
>>If you actually believe conservatives think this way, you'll never actually convince them of anything because you're speaking at them as if they are children. You're not giving their point of view any legitimacy.

I don't want to turn this into a political debate, but the conservative ideology does lack legitimacy for the most part. The reason the term "conservative" is used is because the person is resistant to alternative points of view as well as information that contradicts their perspective. This is why those who reject climate change are conservatives: they are rejecting or ignoring scientific evidence because it doesn't fit their worldview.

I don't treat conservatives as children. That does children a huge disservice. Children by their nature are curious and they want to learn new things. Conservatives in contrast are stuck in certain mindsets (that revolve around Just-World Fallacy) and are scared of change in general.
And yet it still takes three days to settle a trade (and practically, to put money in my pocket). There may be some rule that dictates this, but it's not like we are sending couriers over with stock certificates anymore.
Unless I'm terribly mistaken, one of the main reasons cities entered into agreements with cable companies, etc was that the cable companies wouldn't lay down cable unless they were granted a monopoly in the area.
I'm not sure what he had in mind at that time, but Dijkstra was never all that enthusiastic about type theory. He thought it was a promising and worthwhile avenue, but was suspicious of it being treated as a panacea.

"Another thing we can learn from the past is the failure of characterizations like "Computing Science is really nothing but X", where for X you may substitute your favourite discipline, such as numerical analysis, electrical engineering, automata theory, queuing theory, lambda calculus, discrete mathematics or proof theory. I mention this because of the current trend to equate computing science with constructive type theory or with category theory."
I was really hoping they had men's suits. I wear a somewhat difficult to find suit size and would love for Google to provide me one place for OTR suits in my size.
That's not true. Most people with jobs that aren't just manual labor use basic math to solve problems. As the problems get more complicated, the tools have to grow as well.

Furthermore, I'm not talking about your average office assistant. I'm talking about professionals in a science-related field. Being able to use programming as a tool is going to become invaluable.
Still amazing, but the paragraph right after that gives more detail.

"Draper's personal website furnishes a more detailed version[1] of the coding of EasyWriter. Draper was in prison, in California, at the time, but under a 'work furlough' program. This meant that while he had to spend every night in prison, he spent each day working a regular job outside prison. This job was at Receiving Studios, a small band practice studio, and while there he had access to a computer, where he coded EasyWriter. He did take copies of the code 'home' to prison overnight to work on it."
I wouldn't say he's scaremongering. There is historical precedent for what happens when liquidity in the marketplace dries up or how people behave when banks tighten their lending or go out of business.
Am I the only one annoyed by small surveys like this presenting their results as if they have 1% accuracy?

Assuming that there are about 2000 ovi store developers and with the given sample size of 104 respondents, the 90% confidence error bars on the result are already +/-8%. And that's assuming the sample was properly random, which was not the case.
The future. It has arrived. I remember reading a few years ago that sports writing is very formulaic and should be possible to automate. At the time, nobody had really done it...but here we are. It's fantastic to see all this "weak AI" out there, making people money and building a reputation for being better than most humans at a task previously thought to be human-only.

Are we slowly walking directly towards strong AI, with all our little tiny steps of weak AI?

I can't wait.
About goddamn time.

I can tell by the downvotes. Also, you can't prove that.
GrammarNitpick: should be congratulates not congratulations
The sounds the drives produce are reminiscent of bowed strings, especially the one playing the bassline. It would be very cool to connect this to a midi controller and play it live.
It would be very cool to start a crowdfund-esque campaign that also encourages corporate sponsors to build a fund to hire fulltime developers and create an agenda devoted to performance.
Well you can't go anywhere else and be an ios developer. Maybe you could learn something else and bring some of your customers with you, but it certainly is harder than just going somewhere else to fish.
Yep .. one example of a similar attack here - http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/ - with references to others.
I think Twitter would be very bad fit for any tech company, but it would also be very surprising to me if they can achieve valuation of anything above $5bn post-IPO...
It would have been far cheaper just to rescue the FDIC and preserve the money held in savings/checking accounts.
that's what I had in mind, but I didn't know whether imgur was known here.
I checked again and Twilio does work with Page Plus - the problem was with my phone.

Most education in art focuses on the technical and contextual (history, styles, etc) aspects. The contextual aspects lend themselves quite well to standardized testing.

The technical aspects don't lend themselves very well to a "fill in the bubbles" test, but that doesn't mean they are subjective. Testing them would be more difficult, but it is routinely done.
Sun? Depends on what you mean by successful of course.
It would be much better to get a plain text editor which properly converted the rich text representation into something relevant to the markup language of whatever document was being pasted into.

Then pasting into an HTML file could put <em>foo</em> while pasting into a markdown file could use asterisks &c.

I think the thesis of the article is that the more 'hardcore' are into eccentric stuff not because they inherently like eccentric stuff, but that they like being hardcore people who are into eccentric stuff.
I found the "What I Learned From FarmVille - So You Don’t Have To Play It" link from a while ago very interesting:

Similarly though: just because you CAN do these things, doesn't mean you should.
But it is working fine on Safari on OSX. Something the dev needs to look at.
This sort of reminds of something I saw in the Lively Kernel (http://labs.oracle.com/projects/lively/) a while ago.
I don't know, while not immediately familiar with the game, I've read reviews, seen videos of people playing etc. Is this from Wikipedia not accurate, for example:

"The mission "By the Book" features graphic depictions of kneecapping, electrocution, dental extraction and waterboarding, and the player is required to perform the acts in order to progress in the game."
A revving engine would be less disruptive. It's a noise that most of us filter out, except those in situations which make them on alert for oncoming traffic, e.g. pedestrians and cyclists.
I've wondered about this as well.

I don't have a complete answer, but so far documenting things as I go about doing them helps, especially if I write down what I tried, what went wrong, what worked and why. Its a lot while starting off, but over time as the concepts sink and become habits, my docs move to higher abstractions automatically and then it is mostly clear. The key words for me are 'train of thought'. The solution (the how) is important obviously, and always useful when quickly referring, but when making bigger changes it is more important to remember th why.

It is hella time consuming, needs dedication and practice and good tools (I couldn't start without org-mode myself)
Toilet paper hording works well if you're the one who got in on the hording early. If not, hope you have a bidet or washlet.
This is wrong. This is not the way we want to go forward.

We have laws and courts to prosecute illegality.

It is urgent we translate the principle of Free Speech, from the country in which these platforms were founded, into an online context.

>Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.

What about the people who can never make it to elected office because their communication channels are nuked for WrongThink before their political lives can even get off the ground.

Do we want the realm of acceptable discourse set by an insular group with radical ideas?

I hope there's broad agreement the answer to that is no, even from those who see themselves at present mostly in line with the small group with radical ideas.

"It's a private business they can do what they want"
is outdated thinking to address these issues.

I don't currently have the all the answers here.

But I do know we need answers to this problem.
Yet, Twitter, FB, and YT are quick to censor MEMRI and PalWatch, which actively report on vile speeches around the Arab and Muslim world about how Jews are descended from pigs and dogs, etc., the Holocaust was a hoax, on and on. Because "hate speech". Memri in particular, a non-profit translation service, had hundreds of its videos taken down, footage of these speeches and broadcasts, a valuable resource chopped off for political correctness.
Big tech wants to control who's able to speak, that's all. This whole thing will end up swallowing us all. You'll see.
>It's strange that they picked such a poor way to justify the ban when they could have made a significantly stronger case, and in doing so could have convinced millions more people that they are trying their best to apply policies evenly.

It's clear that people are trying to make this into a cultural moment where you either distance from / renounce Trump (which is almost costless given the immanency of his term's end) or you're treated as an unrepentant enemy of civil society. We're seeing pro-Trump hubs being systematically purged in various ways from a variety of platforms right now, and the symbolic value of moves like this is what's paramount.
"Super Mario 64 HD" gets over 250 HN points.
