I personally actually find myself agreeing with pretty much all of this article.

The point is, is that it is not about fame, that is tangential to point, which is that programmers don't celebrate other programmers, that they don't value other programmer's work.

This is the only industry I know of, where people give away so much for so little, and they don't ask anything in return, because none of you seem able to appreciate the effort involved in your own or anyone else's work.

I don't think that it is absurd to know the name of the person who created the tool you use EVERY day, when they are from your OWN industry, only other programmers have the capacity to appreciate the craftsmanship and work involved.

That is the saddest thing about the programming industry, that you all can’t see how much difference you can make, you give a project attention, hey, maybe you even donate some money and express some gratitude that someone went out of their way to work in their spare time, to give you something that you don’t even have to pay for and you all reap dividends.

Maybe it’s because this industry is so young, but something has to give, or you WILL be relegated to the positions of machinery, actual real people have to sit there and code this stuff, they give up evenings and weekends, they sacrifice time with family and friends, non-programmers don’t get this, YOU do.

This industry needs to learn how to appreciate and stop attacking those who put their creations out there, the one man band who spends every weekend keeping a ruby gem up to date matters, the handful of guys coding frameworks and platforms and libraries and everything else matter, because you guys use their work, regularly.

They should get your attention, not Jobs who has his billions to play with, or Linus, who has his enormous Linux universe to maintain, or any of the guys famous by association with big companies, products or projects. The little guys, who keep the whole shebang ticking over, who work endlessly, in the shadows of your attention, creating awesome, cool things for you play with, tools for you to work with and games for you to relax with.
So you are just going to ignore the vast majority of the history of medicine? Or do you regularly check up on your humor levels?

Medicine, and science in general, is constantly re-evaluating and often finding they were wrong.
This is great to know - thank you! And keep up the good work.
I'm aware it's not from the same team, but they're both built for use with Slack (https://slack.com), I'm not sure how many other communication platforms called 'Slack' there are!
Charles Wilson, who was in Eisenhower's cabinet, said that he had assumed that what was good for America was good for GM and vice-versa. In the context it was less obnoxious than it now sounds--he meant that a strong economy benefited both.
I don't mean to say that "other people are ignorant". I myself ignore and displace this constantly... until at some moments I am reminded. I actually didn't intend to sound condescending, I should have made clear that I actually ignore death myself.

Regarding inculturation: I believe it is actually right the other way round! That a child when first encountering the thought of death and its implication, is naturally terrified, and that our society/culture provides means of coping with this fear.
Thanks! Why don't you get on the announcement list (http://www.pyret.org/discuss/) so you'll find out when the CLI is ready.
True, it does not have anything to do with k8s or networks, but, that's the context in which this issue arose: when they noticed a higher network latency on a kubernetes cluster.

The value of this blog post isn't only in the "why" ("reading kernel stats can take a long time and cost a lot of CPU cycles"), but also in the "how" they went about finding the cause of the symptoms is also of interest.
What's wrong with exchanging money and goods that you need to shield your children from? What about the events that happen after, injections of said goods?
Oh, ok, fair enough. I was just thinking back to an evaluation we did on GitLab, but it seems I may have misremembered.

We actually ended up going with GitLab, but we cannot currently really justify the price tag for the Enterprise edition even though we want just a few of the features :/. FWIW, I think a high-but-fixed-price could work better, but that's obviously just from a customer perspective -- I'm sure you have a lot more information on what works wrt. monetization. I will say that we are actively looking for alternatives because we are a dev company and we want all the things, but realistically... it's not going to happen in the next year or two.
You can make it idempotent again by requiring API users to use an If-Match header with the ETag of the state they're currently expecting.

Also allows you to implement optimistic concurrency. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/If...
I find it so funny that you have to pay a bank to hold your personal items safe in a safety deposit box, yet companies left right and center are doing their best to acquire and hoard giant amounts of sensitive information without understanding the liability they create for themselves.

My hope is that over the coming decade there is a mental shift, and personal information becomes seen as a risk rather than a resource.
GDPR is slowly having this effect in Europe.
It should cost 80percent of postman technically.
I bet security breaches for companies are more like heart complications for humans. Once you’ve been to the hospital once for one, you’re statistically more likely to have another incident.
it is certainly not just a Japanese problem. Japanese uranium mines didn't fuel the reactors, and the radiological contamination does not recognise national borders. The mismanagement of this disaster is not solely the responsibility of the Japanese government, but has been enabled by the hopeful silence of other nations. Why didn't all our governments stand up and denounce the misinformation around declaration of a 20msv 'acceptable' public dose limit, up from 1msv? Hoping to continue on with business as usual, international authorities stayed silent while their Japanese counterparts misled their people about what was 'safe'.
Moral believes really cannot be considered "correct" or "incorrect". It's sort-of why they are called "moral believes", and not "observed fact".

What's closest to being "correct" is "generally agreed to be good at guiding human behaviour into a direction that may, just possibly, survive the harsh light of passing time without being viewed as crass injustice. Or, you know, wiping out humanity (both senses of the word)".
The article states that there was recent change in Turkey where the referring to the Armenian genocide is now longer a criminal offense

"
... For nearly a century, the Turkish state has denied the Armenian genocide—until recently, you could be prosecuted even for referring to it—and so any inquiry into such things would have been fraught.
..."

However, I cannot find a reference to the legislative change in Turkey.

In fact, my search turns somewhat opposite direction

a) Turkey's foreign ministry a year ago actively
opposing Australian state-level recognition of the genocide
(Austalia does not recognize it at federal level)

http://theconversation.com/turkey-the-armenian-genocide-and-...

b) Denying the Armenian genocide cannot be made in to a criminal offense. While denying Jewish genocide can be made into the criminal offense

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/17/us-switzerland-tur...

My ethnic ancestry happen to be both of these prosecuted groups.

Establishing, in my own mind, a parity in recognition of these horrific events of the past, is not a rewarding journey for me. Emotionally, I just cannot imagine being in the place of my grand and grand grand parents who personally witnessed this.

But at a logical level, it seems that modern Turkey would not be held back from the world stage, by recognizing the tragic mistakes of the Ottoman Turkey of the past.
Yes, I agree, I like tags in theory.

But there is no way to implement user-supplied or crowd-supplied tags when you are practically limited to the seven colours used for tagging, and it only works if you can even remember which colour is used for which tag.
Cool thanks. So while you still need to take the same steps to provide security as you would on a physical (or virtual host), Docker gives you the added benefit of a smaller attack surface.
Guess how much fun it is to hang out with people who are perpetually "bored," "exhausted" or on their phones...
It's funny how every one of these posts tries to dress not having an IDE as an advantage.

I mean, in that case there must be a merit in only using programming books and cutting off internet - you have to learn to learn, not just jump straight to answers.

Downgrading to a slower machine will make you think about optimizing your code, so must be done as well.

Luckily today I can be using open-source to produce cross-platform apps in a free fully-featured Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on Windows.
If he was a part of 'overly broad legislation' that 'could be used inappropriately but shouldn't be', then he's an idiot, or naive.

Put specific cases in which the law is applicable into the law itself, and specifically exclude as many applications as you can see that it shouldn't be applied for.

Giving broad powers to police and trusting them, just like trusting any human with broad powers, is a recipe for disaster. But then again we all knew this, I'm glad it's been an eye opener for him.
I’ve discovered that using my coding skills as leverage against the management class is the best way to earn more.

So I’m not coding until I get promoted. I got a raise and a promotion last year, did about 2 weeks of work to give the management the marketing feature they wanted, and now I rest. I’m currently holding out on another marketing feature because the management has no choice but to go with me (deadlines, talent challenge, budget challenge). So I’m using my skills as leverage to earn more.

I told my VP that this feature can’t be delivered until I’m made a Director.
You're lucky. I got so many junk job offers over the years, mostly secretive "amazing opportunities" they would only talk about over the phone.

I one (rare) time replied that I receive several such messages per week and that if recruiters want our attention, maybe they should reveal more about the offer (sometimes they reveal literally __nothing__, not the industry, not the tech stack, nothing).

The recruiter got extremely offended and said I was rude and that I just missed out on a great opportunity.

... bye Felicia
Performance kinda sucks unless you pay a lot of attention to buying the right model of drive. Most drives are simply designed for storing a few TB's of photos and videos. As soon as you are doing low latency paging to the drive and millions of flush() operations, things bog down pretty badly, even on a modern SSD.

Simple things like USB not having any decent way to do shared memory with the host are a big part of it...
As a hardcore leftist, even I have to admit there are benefits of neoliberal policy to a strong internationally present military that at least pretends to uphold human rights and has a bunch of other countries that also pretend the same. It’s better than the alternative.
That is certainly an option. What is unfair about my proposal?
+8% vs +9% is a 12% divergence is just 8 years, and the numbers where even further apart in 2014. So, it looks like they are very different models.
Disgruntled employees can be risky. Like Stamos, and the way the NYTimes took Facebook's efforts to tackle abuse in 2019 as evidence of their previous "indifference". If anything you do can be twisted against you, why bother?

I want to see more information about their background. If they've been fired already, they're not going to lose much from going public with this.
Journalists do check the credentials of the people they include in articles like this. They don't just take randos at their word. These people are anonymous to you but not to the journalist. If you simply don't believe the writer that's a totally different issue - but people at major outlets like Politico don't just invent sources and stories out of whole cloth like you suggest.
I’m guessing they are referring to you essentially saying to someone “u mad”, and calling them a Neanderthal.
PC-BSD and to a lesser extent DragonFlyBSD do that. But there's just not enough people willing to put the work in (and in fairness why should they?).

FWIW I found installing FreeBSD pretty straightforward as soon as they started supporting normal disk partitions. It's closer to Slackware than Ubuntu, but that's also the appeal of FreeBSD - it doesn't have a whole lot to offer someone who wants something automagic like Ubuntu IMO.
I’ve gotten this before in the mail as a US resident. It’s quite interesting regardless of your thoughts on the budget
They need to know where your primary residence is. Because of things like payroll taxes, social security taxes, income tax withholding and unemployment insurance. Which vary by state and (sometimes) city. Not knowing means the company is not in compliance with labor laws and can lead to rather large fines.
RISC-V is not an IP core, just an instruction set architecture.

Any implementation of it has the exact same patent minefield to navigate as any other ISA. Most of the patents are around implementation techniques not instruction set.
Tests and tests,no one knows, i gave up on diagnosing, its none of the usual conditions. It gets better if i eat exclusively rice and water for a week but i cant be bothered to do that.
should cuts no cheese in business. What happens is what customers really buy, and really do.
> There is no metric by which Whatsapp is worth 19B, except for the fact that Facebook can spend that much money.

But isn't that the most important metric? I would argue there is also no metric by which a Coach purse is worth thousands of dollars but people seem to keep buying them.
I am having a hard time imagining a screensaver-based radio telescope on the dark side of the moon. SETI is a quixotic project, but that doesn't mean it has no value. It could well inspire geeky kids who go on to work for NASA or ESA etc. on space telescopes.
>is it a historical account, therefore use their name/gender at the time of the event, or a retrospective where their name/current gender overrides that historical fact?

It seems to be that the current 'style' for this is to use their name as of now. See the reporting about Chelsea Manning.
Not all cameras in all phones are too terrible, that said having done the experiment, I found it is much easier to do license plate extraction from a video rather than from some sort of stills. Using an off the shelf "GoPro equivalent" on the dash of my car, post processing the video for plates was relatively straight forward with OCV[1] and now that I think of it, would make for an excellent tutorial on the technology. Were I to do it again I would provide a copy of GPS co-ordinates on the screen to make it a bit easier to tie the two together.

For me the interesting bit I was trying to figure out was this technique (car mounted) gave you license plate 'segments' which is to say the car in front of you may have been there for two blocks and then turned right giving you a segment that was two blocks long with a right turn at the end. If you had multiple subscribers, then you could match that segment up with a segment from another vehicle and then interpolate the path of any observed plate through an urban area. Since the general color and shape of the car is trackable, you can actually create a number of segments for different cars if you've captured their plate at any time, and if you manage 'untagged' segments (cars seen but you have yet to see a plate for) then you can add those as well. Needless to say, the taller vehicles are a "win" here for more complete surveillance.

The vast majority of software engineers work for boring enterprises or small businesses that supply software/services for boring enterprises. These software engineers are creating real value in exchange for their salaries, often only a few degrees removed from the buying and selling of real physical things.

If you are working for a advertisement-backed, consumer-facing company wondering why you have such a lofty salary, part of the reason is simply because those companies need to compete with these more boring businesses to attract and retain engineers.

I know that doesn't reply to all of your comment, but it's a good thing to consider that I often forget myself.
When you need a permit to move to a city and you can't get one for Beijing, the middle of Gobi doesn't seem like a bad option.
Well, top stars are obvious a couple of years in their career. Or do you think they are obvious from the beginning?
This is a terrible take on SSC, but even weirder is the attempt to connect it to big tech. The narrative aspects of this seem pulled out of thin air and the quotes appear to be wildly out of date, appearing to be from before SSC went down. Given NYT’s and presumably this author‘s part of the story, the presentation here crosses the line all the way to either intentionally or negligently disingenuous.

Like other commenters here, I hope now that Trump’s out of office, it becomes less taboo on the left to talk about how poor a job mainstream media does.
The ironic and surprising development lately is just how thoroughly this "postmodern, social-constructionist ideology" is being adopted by the socially-conservative right. It's hard to describe the Qanon cult with its surprising and outlandish "claims" about liberal Democrats, Hollywood etc. etc. as anything other than a concious parody of the view that "there's no such thing as objectivity and all truth claims are just manifestations of who has power" in the "war against dominant power structures". The "culture war" does not obviously favor one side!
Modern planes have comprehensive sensor systems for all door operations. If a door is not fully closed it's presented very obnoxiously on the flight deck, so I'd bet something either broke in flight or a sensor system was very out-of-tolerance.
Even before I read the article, I knew this person was black. When will racism end?
Hi HN!

When ASCII art is the executable....

Executables consisting exclusively of alpha-numeric characters.
The digits "0123456789" are used for dark, the letters "acemnorsuvwxz" for light.

Removing instructions that are not alpha-numerical, strips functionality down to the minimum:

- 4.5 of the 7 registers available (%bx, %si, %di, %bp, %ah)
- 4 of the ~80 instructions groups available (XOR,IMUL,CMP,Jcc)
- constant values start from 48, (only range 0x30-0x39,0x61-0x79)

By cosmic coincidence, the 2 instructions needed to jailbreak are available.
On top of that, self-modifying code and radix13 encoding.

This should have been released a decade ago.
As compensation, it has been remastered.
The reward was making it 30% smaller.
You should understand what Serial Passage and Gain of Function is. It's using natural selection in a lab and not easily detected. It was also a type of research that was being done at that lab. The paper addresses Serial Passage in the last part.
That's plainly false.

Those who tried to find Scott Alexander's real name could find it.

But those who tried to find information about their doctor or colleague Scott Siskind most likely wouldn't find out that he writes a popular blog.
A little rude, isn't that? There's different fundamental metaphors: XML is a way of representing a tree with labeled nodes, and also a markup format; JSON is the representation of arrays, simple maps, and basic types in unicode. Each has its uses.
just setup a minimal viable product of a subscription service at www.tuskfairy.com - could certainly use some design help!
Well, you insist there was no communication, but all solutions I can find that yield a probability you describe involve communication. Exemplar being that each box itself is labeled by a name. Each prisoner starts at the box with their name and reads the slip inside. following a chain of names until they reach their name. The flaw is that this solution violates the premise, the convicts will have knowledge about how the other convicts acted (similar to how they did, otherwise the system fails), which directly violates the premise.
Interesting. I just read the article Can Cloud Computing Reach the Top500?, which concludes that EC2 won't crack the top 500. I wonder what changed.

If you find yourself saying something so obvious as that lobbying exists, you should wonder whether it supports the point you're claiming.

What this discussion is about is the purported "systemic damage being done by the ever-growing income inequality between the wealthiest Americans and everyone else." Merely pointing out that lobbying exists doesn't support that. In fact, some of your examples are actually counterexamples: e.g. the companies lobbying against net neutrality are less controlled by the superrich than Google, which is lobbying for it. What you have to show is that lobbying is increasing, and that it's increasingly being driven by the agenda of the superrich (rather than merely large corporations).
10 minutes to Lorimer? It's 20 minutes minimum just to Bedford. And that's when the trains are running frequently and efficiently. There have been plenty of times when the L train's taken over an hour to get just to Bedford.

And that doesn't include the walk from the station to your home, which could easily be 10 or more minutes away from the L stop.
I'm a Dragon Rider, if you will. I have bought the pro license and have used the toolkit to make some demos/experiments. I'm excited by how quickly I can produce a game that works on multiple targets. It's been great as a recreational coder. I have aspirations of figuring out the right game loop and eventually selling it. It's a lot of fun and fits my desired approach. Thanks to everyone working on it!
Being a designer by trade and programmer by accident, I've always found this funny. That programmers have no problem having their work being compared to poetry or art in general. Designers, on the other hand, get enraged on the sole mention that design is an art or --worse-- a craft.
I've never advocated banning anonymous mobs. However, I like pointing out when they do bad things. I find too many people seem to worship the activity of internet mobs as though they're inherently good, when they're no more inherently anything than any other sort of mob.
> rtm is the sysadmin for HN (yes, that rtm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tappan_Morris)

It always makes me laugh when someone with no knowledge of a website offers advice to that site's sysadmin. It's especially funny when that sysadmin is of the calibre of RTM.
There are a couple of web services that offer the exact thing you're looking for. Websnapr is one, Browsershots is (to my knowledge) the oldest competitor in the space.

I tried using Browsershots years ago, and found it really quite slow, so I instead implemented a local version instead. If you're using Linux, you can programmatically launch a browser, take an X-Screenshot, and run that through ImageMagick to crop out browser chrome and OS things.

Offhandedly, I don't know how you'd go about splicing together multiple screenshots to get the long tail of the page, but I'm sure it's doable too, with thought.

That said, websnapr looks faster than I remember browsershots being, and not knowing your requirements, it may be good enough anyway.
