99% of the time I use "Look Up" which is the top item in native macOS context menus (for selected text). It's really annoying when your browser is missing it.

This is likely a separate ticket, but Firefox ignores macOS' built-in text replace which I use for expanding text like my email address.
Are you sure you didn't use bitaddress.org? that was the popular one IIRC and my funds are still safe after using that.
I wish in Colombia to be like that. Here, the normal is something like US 800/month/Full time.
If Manning were aware of particular abuses, why didn't he release documents only about those particular abuses? If he wasn't, why did he release anything? This sounds like a case of "I know the evidence is in there somewhere, so let's throw it all out there and see what sticks." When prosecutors do this, we call it a "fishing expedition", and we don't like it at all. Why should we like it _more_ when a vigilante does it?

If I am pissed at my employer and decide to steal and publish all the internal documents I can, and I get lucky and some of them are incriminating, that doesn't excuse what I did. It just means that both I and my employer are criminals, instead of only me.
Nokia 105 here as well. I love how so many people on HN have 'dumbphones'. It's gone through so much more abuse than a smartphone would be capable of taking.
Why does an alarm system, installed presumably permanently on an immovable house, even need to be wireless? A wired system would basically be immune to this (and if the wires are physically cut by an attacker, it will alarm.)
How is this different from GitHub hosted source(Free), compiled by TravisCI (Free), hosted in S3($15/year), secured byand fronted by CloudFlare (Free).

This is my setup (minus CloudFlare for CDN). http://brooksgarrett.com/blog/jekyll-github-travisci-s3/

Is the value in simply abstracting away the (fairly technical) setup which would normally be a barrier for non technical businesses?
blood doping has been a cycling past time since the 70's. Lance's novel approach was the medical write-off on drugs which were OK'd due to their use in his then ongoing cancer treatments.
Some problems can also be solved by visualisation, like finding the shortest route between two points in the city.

Maybe thinking without obvious support is what we call intuition ?
You could always ask to speak to their customer retention department (i.e. phone and say "I want to cancel my service") and then ask to be transferred directly to a line tech once you have a retention agent on the line. They're a lot more flexible in what they can do for you.
Sounds a lot like Yahoo! under Carol Bartz. Slash R&D and face the consequences 3+ years later.
Things get more complicated when you bring children into them, yes. However, even then there are areas civil libertarians should be leery of and should scrutinize government involvement in - like the religious, political, or other beliefs that a parent teaches a child.
There's no indication in the post that he made any attempts to do anything using a phone, and he in fact was refusing to do so towards the end of it. Do you have any evidence that he did try to call them and encountered the same difficulties there?
The "pop-over" UI is almost the exact same (including the icons).

I understand what you're saying, and I don't disagree with your cost estimate at all. I don't think you'd get it perfect in a day, like others have indicated (though I do think you could make it massively better in a few hours).

But...

This is their product. Their only product. It's what they sell, it's what generates their income. It's not just a cost center, it's the revenue center. And it doesn't serve the customers' needs in a fundamental way. And hasn't in over 10 years.

That to me speaks of inexplicable laziness and irresponsibility.
if you were to read all of these posts, you would find a common theme: we all experience a new level of consciousness when we trip. However, regardless of what this new experience was or through what method it was achieved, the presence of a new conscious experience proves that their are different types even levels of consciousness.

this epiphany occurred to me through a drug induced change in consciousness. i realized that every material thing in this universe is just a product of my consciousness. this then got me thinking: how is it that material is a product of my consciousness, yet science tells me that my brain (a piece of material produces consciousness).

I flirted with this paradox for months. I concluded that everything in the universe is just a system of interconnected systems of the same energy. I thought of the things in the universe as just different manifestations of a single type of energy at different points in space and time.

Then I read about Amit Goswami and learned some very useful scientific jargon for what i was experiencing. Anyone who is interested in "conscioussness" should research this man - he is leading a thought revolution

Oh no, reasonable and accurate information. Plus a list of things they plan to do to fix it.

What will we all hate on Apple about next?
From the press release:

Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.

....

Let me guess...Where, all roads lead to Apple?

EDIT: I posted this fully knowing it will be unpopular. But reading the press release gave me the feeling that Apple was using a sleight of hands by turning the public's focus from the privacy and security issues this incident has amplified and brought to the public's view, and instead is saying "Gee..We were doing y'all a favor by building a better maps app, and now you come along and screwed that up". Security is not an afterthought people. Hasn't the Sony fiasco that is still unraveling taught us anything?
But MS plus Nokia isn't near a monopoly in mobile devices. Google plus Apple maybe, but MS/Nokia are currently hanging on for life in this market.
This is a post from 2006. The example problem with C# no longer exists; it can currently be written much like the author desired:

string.Join("\n", mylist.Select(x => x.Description).Where(description => description != ""));
The one valuable key I have found to becoming better at your craft is to improve your identity. I have been studying accelerated learning for many, many years. How we identify with what we are doing has a dramatic impact on our performance and ability to learn. Identity is one of those strong beliefs we hold about ourselves and our capabilities.

Writing code is the best and only way to improve. But as everyone is aware this does not guarantee you become a better programmer. Over time I think everyone does to some extent but some become better quicker. What is the difference? I believe it is what we believe we can do.

I have taught many people how to play guitar. I always start by teaching them the basics and looking for my opportunity to convince them that they are now a ‘guitarist’. Because they will never continue and fall in love with it until they can find some way to identify with it.
i'm amazed by the text in that post. in general i appreciate people admitting when they don't understand something, but the tone there goes beyond relaxed to, well, a celebration of ignorance (greek letters! oh noes!). is it a joke?
That’s pretty cool !!. I’m looking to something similar too
> new cars are generally more powerful, so tend to accelerate to dangerous speeds on small streets.

Yes and no and but...

Yes - Broadly speaking most new cars are more powerful than they were in the late 70s and early 80s

No - Before the gas crisis we has a much larger lust for big powerful engines.

But - In the last 20 years especially there has been a mandated (i.e. NHSTA/etc) effort to make vehicles 'less harmful' to pedestrians in case of an impact. You can see some of this in the changes to front fascias/bumpers.
Sent it!
I don't think the bug was deliberate, could of been just an honest mistake.

But on the other hand, why didn't the compiler generate an "Unreachable Code" warning during build?

We have explicitly set this warning to "Treat as Error" during our builds.
"We spared no expense."
If you don't have solar panels on your roof, chances are it's still coming from fossil fuels. Generation/transmission efficiency for taking energy from fossil fuels and getting it to your house is around 30%. Electric cars are part of a solution to CO2 emissions, but they aren't one on their own.
> I'm also not a fan of `shouldComponentUpdate`. Ideally you should not think about such things and let the underlying library take care of the performance issues.

In my experience with React, something like this is absolutely necessary for performance once your data model gets to a certain scale. Does Riot have an equivalent? I agree that you shouldn't have to think about that stuff, but the reality is that sometimes you need that extra bit of performance.
It's always about creating a "box" where the king cannot get out of, and make the box smaller as you force the king onto the edge or corner, where you can finally get the mate move.
JIRA Dreams of Issues

Jokes aside, most of the skill required to be a good programmer is independent of the tools used.
This was posted earlier and set off the voting ring detector. I haven't looked closely, but that may have been a false positive. Since it's a good post and didn't get the attention it deserves, we won't treat this one as a duplicate.
Nice tutorial pitched just right for me. Looks a lot like Iron Python iirc. I like that you can start writing old school interactive command line apps so easily -- great for starting out and in the absence of solid gui tools.
I don't care about private sector censorship, that is free speech in line with our constitutional ideals.

Your freedom to not listen or associate with someone is part of the First Amendment and applies to corporations as much as it applies to you.

People get to say or not say whatever they want, you get to listen or not listen to whoever you want.

A corporation you have chosen to rely on still gets to choose they want to associate with, arbitrarily even.

When the corporation messes up, we can try pressuring them into compliance with our ideals.

What the corporation did is in compliance with my ideals. Good luck with yours.
Attacking a human being, smashing a window, and attacking a human being in order to smash the window behind him are three very different things.
How is Toyota in particular behind when they’re probably first with plug-in and regular hybrids? And they seem to make the best there is.

I feel like Toyota will release EV Corolla and stop this whole nonsense with Tesla. Hell, even VW took a huge chunk from Tesla in Europe with just couple models.
Tits for tats won't end well. I bet there's going to be another storming of the capitol , probably from the other side this time
Maybe, but it’s also possible that these are all responses to the events of Wednesday, and responses to other’s responses to Wednesday.

> If not management, I'd still say try to get a little more "meta" than just "I know Rails, Node..." Market yourself at a business-level, if that makes sense. In my opinion, the tools you use to solve a problem aren't as interesting as how you approach a problem and solve it.

This is fantastic advice for every programmer, and once I actually started believing it was when I started getting interesting jobs that pay well.

Stop thinking in terms of the technology you use. Don't focus on it in interviews. What you should stress is the problems you've solved & how that delivered value to the company (revenue, efficiency, etc.)

Being a Ruby master means nothing . Being able to deliver a tool that lets the company fulfill their million-dollar contract is what makes you a rock star.
Since that editorial was published (back in 2007), the person who wrote it, Nicholas Merrill, has been "partially un-gagged": he is now able to talk publicly about portions of the case.

Kamala Harris and several others in the Biden campaign tweeted support for a bail fund; I don't think she herself set up a bail fund but my knowledge about this is limited.

No they stormed the capitol because they refused to accept the outcome of an election after their candidate availed himself of every legal avenue of challenge. Fuck those people. The rhetoric that drove them was Trump himself and his stooges in conservative media.
"Bob should die" should be allowed to exist and is. It can be said jokingly, yes it's bad taste but not credible.

"Bob, I am coming to kill you" or "Bob I'll kill you if you don't do X for me" a court would say is probably a credible threat, which is already illegal.

Why do we want to shift the responsibility of deciding how to police speech to private companies?

Sticks & stones.
Yeah, it’s increasingly obvious that the fable was wrong. People are easily led (and not just those who cling to Trump).
It's still there: https://twitter.com/POTUS
Among other things I imagine he'd point out that this is only a problem if you normalize police not doing their job. Things like this are only a problem when politicians decide they'll be more popular if they treat enforcing the laws of the land as a PR tactic instead of an obligation. The only reason rioters anywhere manage to do as much damage as they have is because every time there's a new BLM or Proud Boys rally every politician decides they'll look better if they yank the leash instead of letting the police enforce local laws.
It's not the responsibility of normal people to indulge the crazy satanic paedophile conspiracy theories of total lunatics so that said lunatics won't behave like total animals. They stormed the capitol because they believed complete horse shit about how the election was stolen, when it wasn't, and they were incited to do so by the current president.
Is it too soon to start discussing who is going to replace him? Any thoughts? I'm guessing not Sinofsky...
Upmodding you to counter the mindless fanboy downmods. It's a bit ridiculous that any negative opinion about The Idol gets downmodded.
Probably nothing, now that you mention it.
honestly, I think most girls would sleep with someone for way less than 1 million. i think one very important missing ingredient is a clause stating that her decision will remain anonymous and no one will ever find out about the transaction, ever.
> In my experience, recursion is the hard part ...

My limited experience has been different. I've been trying to make time to learn Scheme lately, and recursion seems simple enough. You can just practice it until it makes sense. What I find difficult is understanding what symbols are and what single-quoting actually means. No Scheme book I've seen yet just comes out and actually tells you in plain language what a symbol is.
Seconded.

The list is fine, but to me it doesn't mean anything if the PM wasn't a previous programmer and knows nothing about pulling all-nighters chasing some obscure bug.

If your friend really wants to get into a tech PM role, then he has to pay his dues just like we all do. So swombat's advice is right on. He should learn a language/framework and build something with it(not a small script, a real actual application).
Tech is not a zero-sum-game. Creating wealth while destroying other's hard work is not very nice, especially in tech industry, where opportunities at simply creating without destroying are so readily available.
MIT has a school wide UROP program (http://web.mit.edu/urop/) that generally grants credits during the school year and wages in January and summer, with the attractive bonus that a professor doesn't have to pay the stiff overhead usually required on the latter.

I would expect that as ramchip notes informal arrangements can be done most anywhere, although getting paid in any way other than experience may not be.

One maybe not so minor note: according to one school that is ABET accredited, only 210 in the US have ABET accredited CS programs. E.g. my home town 4 year public college doesn't have one, I'd have to go to a larger regional one 70 miles away.
Dear Jason Chen,

In that case - fair enough. But we are yet to see a single dock which would support this.
In my head Mark Watney was Sam Rockwell, maybe beacuse of Moon , similar theme different plot.
I don't see what's threatening or intimidating about "Have your friend Melanie call me." Seems pretty innocuous to me.

Could you buy Facebook ads that target the person's friends? All the data you need is there for the debt collector's taking. You wouldn't need to intimidate anyone or say anything hateful. The ad could be as simple as, "Get $5 in Facebook Credits. Have Your Friend Melanie Call Me." Not sure if that ad would actually work, just thinking out loud.

From Facebook's perspective, you don't want people to stop creating accounts (or quit using them) because of fear of debt collectors, but debt collectors are a business that could provide them a revenue stream.

It's already a known fact that some employers check potential hires on Facebook and I don't think that's had much of a chilling effect on the growth of their social network.
One point that nobody has brought up yet:

The instructor represented the tests as having been created by himself (a fallacy, as it turned out). If that was the case, then when students saw the exact same questions ahead of time, wouldn't the implication be that the test had been stolen? If that was the case, then wouldn't the students have had a moral imperative to report this fact when they saw the same test during test day?
I think one of the main lesson we learn is that the past influences today.

And asking children to read books from the past, without giving them the tools and context to understand it, is asking for trouble.

US high schools are a playground of intolerance. At least where I went to high school, having the class read a book that made use of "nigger" would have certainly meant that the Black kids in class would be called nigger after class -- of course when the students were confronted they might say something like, "I was just trying to memorize some key lines from the book".

I'm not against reading books from the past, but I think the teachers need to be prepared to teach it. In this case it appears that the teachers weren't.
I've not heard of anyone around these parts who are truly 9-5. We here in Kansas are 8-5 with a state enforced hour lunch break. We are not paid for the break.
I highly recommend the PHP official tutorial on their site. I learned PHP more than 10 years ago, and it is great. Second maybe to the Flash tutorial that comes with Flash.

It could also be useful to try and use PHP however you can, start writing shell scripts with it, go and observe the source code of PHP sites and applications you like.
Did you read what he said? Unprivileged users CAN start daemons which listen on ports above 1024.
But in the case of composing/playing, you're having fun despite plucking strings, not because of it. If we could play the guitar without having to actually touch one, I imagine we would.

In the same way, if we could make computers do amazing things without programming, surely, we would. Of course, we can't—though being a manager of programmers comes close :)
You may disagree, but I mean what I say.

My morals do not budge; this is due to the Originator thereof never changing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutability_(theology)

Trust me. I've been dealing with this for years. I have somewhat of an unfair advantage in this department. If you don't take care of what's most important (i.e. most of your time), then the little time you do have will be of little value to you.

I will give you an example. My friend wonders why he has a poor diet. He says he knows he should eat better, but he still makes poor food choices. The answer? Because he is failing at the most important things in life. His career. He's desperately confused on the inside, lost, and scared. At 25, living at home, having a pointless and worthless degree, I would be too.

It's like that story... here: http://www.wow4u.com/theprofessor/

Once you take care of the most important, all the less important stuff is easy. In your case, take care of most of your time... your mentality in your spare time will change completely.

(And start journaling your fears and beliefs)

Peace.
This approach has worked well for the folks at Monome, who make small runs (generally 100 to 200) of their flagship human interface devices a few times a year. They no longer take preorders, instead just publicizing the date and time at which orders will be open. Generally, they sell 100-200 devices within a week, and have several times sold out in under 15 minutes.
You need a little animated video. Or at least pictures of what it does. Although I read the FAQ and all the pages on your blog, I'm having difficulty understanding if this is an add-on to a mapping application, or something like that Color app that was famous for 15 minutes a few weeks ago, or...well, I'm just confused about exactly what it does, and not curious enough to spend time trying to figure it out. I'm guessing PG and others at YC didn't reject you as such, they just weren't able to work out what it's for.

I hope that doesn't come off as harsh. It's a common problem on landing pages, in FAQs, and in documentation; people forget to begin with short, clear statements that answer the questions: what is this for? why does that matter? How do I do something cool with it?

I remember spending most of an afternoon many years ago trying to wrap my head around TeX, and eventually losing interest because Microsoft Word's equation editor seemed an awful lot easier for anyone short of a typesetting professional. The documentation seemed to say 'go away and leave me alone.'
