I'm half wincing because this seems like a shameless plug, but it does fit the context. (I would have sent it directly, but there are no contact details for you in your HN profile.)

Anyway: the latest release of http://leanpub.com/freelancedeveloperbook/ has a 'Developer Deals' section, including a coupon code for 50 free Moo cards (with Moo logo on the back, or you can upgrade to get no logo). You just pay shipping - that should bring down your average card cost while starting out. You might find the other deals/promos (accountacy software, code hosting, PM tools) useful, too.
YOU ARE A GENIUS!! Thanks "notmyname" So well said :) of course all those people are necessary for business continuity
Though it seems like you've got vitamins covered through supplementation, you still need to make sure you're taking in enough protein and fiber. Fiber is probably the more important thing to think about, since it's fairly hard to eat a protein-deficient diet without actually trying to do so.
So, if you go outside the app (any new URL without the meta tag), then the browser chrome returns. It doesn't seem like a problem to me.
Is there really reason to believe that practicing theoretical physicists who advocate wavefunction collapse are so mistaken as to be not worth learning from? I find the lesswrong cultural insistence on going with MWI pretty troubling when it gets to the point of not listening to actual physicists who don't use it, as as far as I can tell, very few people there are actual active quantum physics researchers.

MWI could well be a better way to develop understanding of quantum mechanics, but dissing people who actually actively work with the stuff because their established notation has historical baggage doesn't seem like a good idea when you're not actively working with the stuff yourself.
Actually, every time you open Acrobat it's had a new security issue. At least, it's that way for me (though Windows is not my primary OS, so I don't open Acrobat that often).
For a second I thought this was about John Gruber jumping the shark again. Not sure how this is Hacker News.
Interesting. I thought banks made it difficult to transfer money because:

1) The longer a bank possesses your money the more money they make loaning it to other people and 2) when a bank has your money, they've got you over a barrel so you're willing to pay a fee to get it back (see ATM fees, check fees and myriad other "ransom" fees regularly levied on customers)
He's actually using the old rhetorical device of Praeteritio, which is probably one of my favorites and often used by Cicero.
Holy shit you should not have access to your logging systems/DNS servers with the same exact credentials as your main app servers. Do you let devs onto the HR system with the same ssh key as well?
It is a good idea, but there are lots of good ideas when it comes to cars. Do you ever start your car when parked on an incline? That can play havoc with oil delivery but we all do it. Park a car in the cold with a not-full gas tank? That isn't recommended either.

Cold-starting engines 30 years ago was a big problem. They had lots of different metals that would flex against each other. Modern engines are built to tighter tolerances and that means metals that expand/contract at more similar rates. And our oils do not thicken as easily thanks to improved chemistry. A cold start really isn't going to destroy your engine. It will still probably outlive the rest of your car.
Very droll. Almost too subtle - I thought you simply had a case of beam-in-the-eye until the clause "asymptotically approaching a vapid onanism.".
Pigeonly (improved inmate to outside world communication) strikes me as interesting. It's not very sexy but I think it's a somewhat interesting problem domain (and sadly a growth market) where connections/talking to people/understanding the market can give you a pretty hard to immitate advantage.
Doesn't seem very hard technically but pretty hard non-technically.
Or, the reverse, exactly because it is known to quite a few members, if there were any malice in it that would have never happened. And then icey would not have been able to spill the beans.
Disclaimer: I'm one of Nu echo's founders and lead architect for our IVR testing and monitoring tool suite (NuBot and Mirador).

Our Mirador IVR application monitoring service is exactly what you are looking for. It is one thing to regularly call a given number - which can indeed be hacked quite easily using either Tropo, Asterisk, etc, it is another thing to send daily, weekly, monthly and yearly report to reflect the actual state of the IVR application over time. Call setup time? Greeting time? Transaction failure? Call setup failure? Moreover, you probably want to get an email or SMS notification whenever a defect occurs (otherwise, what's the point of monitoring?) Plus, you probably also happen to want to get a notification for the alarm restore right? While we are at it, I am sure you want those reports available online in a secure location or as a PDF document.

You get all this with Mirador!

I have received your request this morning through our website and you should have received my reply by now ;-)

If you have small kids I recommend blue painter’s tape. Great for temporary toy reconfigurations as well as hanging drawings on the walls.
You're right that there's some irreducible aspects to even GUIs that isn't intuitive and you just need to be told how to use it once, but GUIs have an advantage in that the overall 'language' of those things is far more limited at a basic level.

Once you've figured out that mouse movements correspond to moving the pointer, clicking your left button usually means you want to do the primary interaction with whatever you're clicking on (opening a program, pressing a button, checking a checkbox), and right click gives you additional things you can do with the thing you're right clicking on, you've figured out enough to be able to at least use the system (I agree you're by no means proficient in it though).

To get comparable proficiency with a command line requires a much larger set of things to remember for even basic usage.
I guess nobody lives in Scotland.
And let's not forget Berlusconi and every American presidential election. Without money and media those would be completely different.
Because the NDK uses C and C++, as well as, partial UNIX APIs. Nothing to do with the Android Runtime.
Verizon's FIOS fiber hasn't been profitable, and they've stopped building it out. Google would run into the same problem if they actually built enough that it had to make money, instead of only doing cherry-picked demo projects.

Technically, you don't need fiber to the home to get gigabit rates. Coax from the end user to the DOCSIS node at the pole is more than enough. Within 100 meters, such as in apartment buildings, CAT 5 is enough. The fiber connection to the DOCSIS node at the pole, the DOCSIS node, and the back end have to have more bandwidth.

The cable industry has a plan for slow migration to gigabit services:

http://www.cedmagazine.com/articles/2012/07/an-evolutionary-...

One unit at a time, in the chain from head end to end user, equipment can be swapped out for faster, but backwards-compatible, units.

Of course, in the end it's still Comcast.
If there are two "mental tools" I wish we could teach every person, they are exponential growth and statistical thinking. Neither is intuitive, but they would help people understand this whole situation (and many others) a lot better.
You use views to "freeze"how clients view the data model. You can rename/change/delete the data model as much as you want, if the view output and behavior stays the same, no versioning changes are needed.
I'm not very sure about that. It certainly worked, but Xen lost a LOT of market to KVM, to the point they open sourced the whole thing (maybe a little too late?) in order to slow down the fall.

At least this is my impression. At the end of the day I do like Xen and Citrix, they were/are certainly good for virtualisation on linux.
For those who aren't aware, this essay isn't really about Google's co-operation (or not) with the NSA regarding wiretaps.

This is about potential Google involvement in political activities outside the US, where Assange claims it is acting as a proxy rather than requiring direct US intelligence involvement. While Assange didn't name them, some specific instances of what he is talking about are the "Color revolutions" in Eastern Europe and the Arab Spring.

While this seems preposterous on the surface there is enough evidence to make it worth considering. The Georgian "color revolution" obtained significant funds from a body funded by George Soros[1], so private involvement isn't unprecedented.

It is also well known that Wael Ghonim (who was instrumental in fueling the Egyptian revolution) was employed by Google at the time[2] although he was acting in a private capacity.

OTOH, it isn't at all clear is the US intelligence complex would have wanted the Egyptian revolution to occur at all, and Assange doesn't go deep enough to explain that.

I would be interested in hearing those stories!

Imagine the environmental impact of downloading all dependencies in a large project every CI run? and running it every commit of a pr? sometimes totalling in multi gigabyes. Crazy.

Do you never stop and think “why is our code base busted in this person’s environment?” I mean, it could just be that the bug filer just hasn’t done their due diligence on upgrading (why won’t win 3.11 play crysis).

It also could be that your code quality sucks and you’re writing something non-portable.
It's the default, which means the question is not when to add it, but when not to, and it's too much work to decide not to in a few cases where it might seem wrong for some subtle reason.
You can find two well-reasoned critiques at http://what-the-rain-knows.com/tag/krc/

The first one is by Philip Wadler, who's quite famous in Haskell circles. The second one is by Matthias Felleisen, is quite active in using Scheme to teach computer science.
It's a firsthand assertion from Damon Albarn, announcing what is probably going to end up being the best-known creative output to ever use the original iPad. It's newsworthy.
"Customers' orders are endlessly different yet strangely all the same. No matter what the subject, clients want to be assured that their assignment is in capable hands. It would be terrible to think that your Ivy League graduate thesis was riding on the work ethic and perspicacity of a public-university slacker. So part of my job is to be whatever my clients want me to be. I say yes when I am asked if I have a Ph.D. in sociology. I say yes when I am asked if I have professional training in industrial/organizational psychology. I say yes when asked if I have ever designed a perpetual-motion-powered time machine and documented my efforts in a peer-reviewed journal."

Lol.

I'm just happy to hear there's another Gorillaz album in the works. I thought both Demon Days and Plastic Beach likely to be his last.
Quite frankly, the anti-NoSQL-as-a-term is getting a bit tiring. As someone who has been working on "NoSQL" systems since 2000, I have been extremely thankful that there is finally a broad-based movement exploring alternative datastore architectures. It used to be extremely depressing to have discussions with fellow engineers on the benefits of alternative architectures and for them to simply reject it on the grounds that "SQL DBMS must be the best since they've had decades of work behind them". At the very best, someone might have been radical enough to contemplate the use of an Object Database.

In contrast, thanks to the NoSQL movement and the exploration of alternative models that it has encouraged, the quality of discussions is extremely different today. More and more engineers are aware of the benefits and issues with various models and are much more open to alternatives. So when I say that I am extremely thankful to whoever coined the damn term and for efforts like NoSQL Summer, I really mean it. It has really improved my quality of life.

Now I get that "NoSQL" isn't a 100% accurate term. But what marketing term ever is? Take something like AJAX — most "AJAX" apps have never dealt with XML, yet the term has been extremely useful. It helped solidify a broad-based effort to explore using JavaScript and thanks to the "AJAX movement" of a few years ago, we now have XHR in all modern browsers and awesome libraries like jQuery!

The real issue as I see it is that projects are keen to differentiate and are thus reacting to being lumped together with extremely different systems. Now no-one who understands the technologies is ever going to compare the likes of Redis, CouchDB, Neo4j, Cassandra and Hadoop as equivalents, but it is understandable that projects are afraid of being considered equivalent by those who are simply choosing a NoSQL system for their project without understanding the differences.

This follows onto another issue — a leader (or two) often emerge once a new domain has been established and the "smaller" projects are cautious of being sidelined by "big boys" like Cassandra/MongoDB/Hadoop. To continue with the AJAX example, in the early days there used to be a whole bunch of options regarding JavaScript libraries: Prototype, jsolait, MochiKit, MooTools, jQuery, Dojo, etc. In contrast, nowadays, jQuery is the default choice for the vast majority of developers. I don't think that there is such a clear winner in the NoSQL field yet. In fact, given the massive fragmentation, we probably haven't even heard of the final winner yet!

That is not to say that the concerns of the various projects aren't totally valid. But the issue is not with the "NoSQL" term but rather with differentiation and understanding — both of which can only be solved by better communication. Phrases like "Online Request Processing Systems (ORPS)" or even "Alternative Datastores" aren't exactly catchy marketing terms. NoSQL may not be perfect, but it's here and it's more than good enough. So can we please stop bashing it and focus on coming up with clearer differentiators? Thanks!
Wait, seriously? This is youtube we're talking about.
This a confused notion. A useful way to think of Go and Erlang is that they automatically and transparently insert async/await each time you call a function that performs I/O. Messaging between different application tasks is
completely orthogonal and can have use cases in languages with async/await as well.
> The trends for the last 8 years are clear: Oracle and SQL Server are constantly declining in popularity; MySQL is slightly declining; and PostgreSQL is clearly growing in popularity. But while PostgreSQL almost tripled in popularity in these eight years, it is still far behind the other three.

It's great to see Postgres growing, but I often wonder why it isn't growing faster, especially when compared to MySQL. Without getting into a religious flame war, I'm curious what the HN thinks about that?
Each cell has 12 8-bit channels, including rgb, so it is 96 bits.

I don't think it will work "as is" because github does not expose the directory structure in a way that httpfs understands out of the box. But some hacker around here could probably make an httpfs-github that does the job.
> somehow make the body consume more energy from fat specifically

Any way to achieve a calorie deficit will accomplish this. There doesn't have to be a second drug to make your body use fat as energy once you've already given it no other choice.
How do you radiocarbon-date a rock?
Isn't the term `Red Scare` ? Strange that I get called out for mixing up names :)

Anyway, Guardian, Economist, etc, doesn't really make a difference. They all write the same subservient way about China anyway \__(:-/)__/
Glad that Rust won. We can sleep peacefully now...
Most people are happy with censorship and a lack of freedom of speech, because most people have nothing to say, and a lack of such never affects them.

Most people are fine not having any privacy, because they believe that they have nothing to hide.

The danger comes from making it impossible to publish unpopular things or publish anonymously, or making privacy impossible. There is a percentage of people for whom these things are not only important but essential, and when we close off those options then we lose the important aspects of society facilitated by those people. Those aspects benefit everyone.

We should pay very close attention to the complaints of those people, even if (or perhaps especially because) they are a minority of users.
Don't know why you're being downvoted.

I experienced the same results on strict Paleo. Strict as in, absolutely cooking everything myself in Coconut Oil - that strict.

I experienced a back injury and got off Predisone and Percocet within a month -- I owe largely to the inflammation reducing effects of the Paleo diet.
Duply (http://duply.net/) is a wrapper around Duplicity, and there's a GUI front-end called Deja Dup too: http://live.gnome.org/DejaDup/Screenshots

I use Duply to schedule incremental backups of my server logs to S3 (write only) and then have S3 expire them after 60 days. Works great.

Sometimes I'll check out these maps, which have the state as a whole ranked not-so-good for robbery, property crime, burglary, etc.

Or... you can just link up facebook with your old Yahoo mail address.(the one from the 90s you still keep around and check every 6 months or so ;)

This lets you import your facebook contacts in your yahoo address book, so you can export them as csv later.
The valuations on ASML are super high (approx 40 P/E ratio). ASML is a good company and the word got out, but it was overbought, seeing approximately 4x in price from the beginning of 2019 or so to now.

The better question is why is the stock up several hundred percent in the past few years, even after falling a bit recently? The business is growing, but not that much. Good company, bad price.
> "Swiping pressure-sensitive paper over the raised numbers (the original method) is still possible, though I haven't seen a merchant actually do this since maybe the mid-2000's."

I've noticed all the UK-issued cards I've received in the last year or two no longer have the raised numbers. Just the same details printed in ink on the card. Quite an improvement as the card details are easier to read now!

Still seem to have the traditional (but almost never used) magnetic stripe, however.
I don't agree with the assumption that it takes months and years of practical experience with a framework to be productive within it's codebase. I also don't think the claim was that our candidate would perform at the level of a senior dev.

But to your point. Yes, experience is critical for mastering a skill.
It depends what the goal of your hashing function is. Pure cryptographic hashes like sha256 want to be cheap to calculate. Slow on GPUs is only a design goal if you're making a password hash function, which is a rather different class of problem to sha256/chacha20 and similar.

I think the commenter you're responding to got a little confused somewhere along the way and conflated cryptographic hashes with password hashing.

EDIT: To be clear, password hashes are also cryptographic hashes - but they're a specific subclass of crypto hashes with different design criteria.

The incentives are all wrong. Tests are money spinners, so hospitals and clinics push them hard. Over-testing is usually associated with worse health outcomes. For example, nearly anyone who gets a full body scan has a few suspicious looking blobs. It's almost always nothing, but it results in unnecessary treatment or exploratory surgery while not actually saving many lives.
They've thought of that. It's why the subscription has three levels of "bell" denoting how much you want to hear about new content from the channel.
