Well, you could change out all of the routers you have influence over and at least have all of your internal stuff already running IPv6...

I notice that Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and Windows 7/2008 all install with IP6 ready to go...
Right get the UI right and it won't cause as many iterations on the back end (where it hurts more) as well prototype the whole UI in HTML/Javascript, Flash, Desktop app, whatever suits your fancy. Have a fully functioning UI that the user can touch and feel before you develop the back end. This will flesh out all data requirements and business logic services that will be needed to support the UI.

I am a little leery of not allowing the developer to provide input though. Things are going to change, you just want to narrow those changes to the important things.
You cannot use Relector to contribute to the Mono source.

"Do not use the ildasm, reflector or other equivalent tools program to disassemble proprietary code when you are planning to reimplement a class for Mono. If you have done this, we will not be able to use your code."

I paid for Pinboard in hope that the financial support will allow them to remain viable and keep the service open indefinitely. I've been burned too many times by using free services that eventually shut down when they realize they can't support themselves with ads.
My favorite entry:

A Dishonorable Mention went to Yves Papegay, who submitted this 80-character expression with the comment, “If only I had a better machine.”

Select[Flatten@Map[FromCharacterCode@Tuples[Range[32, 129],#] &, Range@80], SyntaxQ]

This input selects from all 200696776371546515671027031705365217492618488

That number is so unimaginably large that descriptions in terms of the number of particles in the universe, or nanoseconds since the dawn of time, are woefully inadequate to describe it.

While this expression is a disaster practically, it has a certain conceptual appeal that made up for it hanging the judges’ machines. It expresses all one-liners of 80 or fewer characters. The expression itself is a member of the set that it describes.
My friend and I have been working on a new bookmarking service - http://favilous.com - we are free, and we are currently working on allowing users to import delicious bookmarks.
Not all php is code that sits on the server. It's a general purpose scripting language.
This article was ok, but the title is pure sensationalism. The author even concedes that he doesn't want Drupal to fork PHP. Maybe I missed the point of the article then. Seems to me the point was another article that talks about how bad PHP is.
This is what I was searching for! Thank you!
And then you need to explain how hash functions work to a bunch of people who dropped out of high school to work on the farm so that they don't feel cheated by the new electoral system.

In the long run, though, it shouldn't be so hard to get people to accept these kind of solutions.
OK. What's yours?
Yes, it will be awesome, imagine that you could draw real art in your code instead of ASCII art! You could illustrate your code with cartoons instead of stick figures using \ o / :)

On a more serious note, is there any fundamental reason that we'd need a big bunch of discrete symbols? If you look at the evolution of language development, we already went from machine code, which is extremely verbose, to languages like Python/Ruby which are pretty concise.

If we continue this, we'll eventually be high level enough to not think in terms of statements but in terms of data transformations, filters, queries, reductions, etc.

And with touch you could already do a lot with making input context sensitive. Only show the options that make sense at that point. Hardly a need to show a full keyboard unless typing some identifier for the first time.

Anyway, it's very interesting to think about what is possible if you leave behind current assumptions such as code=text.
Let me clap for you because you have 2715 karma, you who look to have wasted all these trips to our region (how can you travel so much, yet absorb so little). Our entire nation is in mourning, but please do feel free to take keep taking uneducated potshots at a dead man using recycled sound-bites from the 90s, and displaying exactly why freedom of speech is overrated. We will return to pit our unsubstantiated anecdotes against your unsubstantiated anecdotes when we've run out of better things to do (better break out that rubik's cube bob, it's going to take awhile).
"Corporate business analysts, business intelligence or banking teams" will quickly lose their jobs if they start handing out their precious in-house data to some random people on the Internets.
>>...I don't know what's gained from having high karma (seriously). Could you explain that.

On this site you gain preference by the ranking algorithm, for one thing. Your comments and votes hold more weight. Outside of that, many people believe the karma makes the man and not the other way around. It can be an instant way to determine whether someone making a statement is qualified to make that statement. Of course that isn't how it should be, but that is how the human brain works until you've trained it otherwise. I've seen people with 10k karma make an ass of themselves and people with 30 karma divulge great insight, but the image is still there.

I would say on Hacker News you do more or less earn your karma. Since this community doesn't take too kindly to smart ass comments you are forced to conform to a higher standard than you find on other communities that give their users karma.

It's not perfect, but I do believe if you have high karma you have earned it (on Hacker News).
I started my career doing Perl CGI stuff, and have used, at various points, C, Python, Tcl, PHP, Erlang, Javascript and Ruby in addition to Java, Docbook, LaTeX, HTML (of course), CSS and various and sundry other things.

Emacs has handled them all with aplomb.
Peter, can you add The London Times' new website to your database: http://www.thetimes.co.uk.
37signals is a PR company first and foremost. Programming seems a secondary concern.
i puked a little after reading this
Like MichaelSalib says, they're definitely out there, and sometimes they're our teachers. I've got female classmates who have routinely been graded one grade lower in than their male classmates IT class in high school - despite being as good or better than them. It rectified itself at the exams, since they're anonymous, but things like this still happen all over the place - and my classmates are the ones that persevered, and still started a master's programme in computer engineering. We've all experienced this to some degree (we've been asking around), which is probably a contributing factor to the fact that having 11 girls in a class of 120 is a whopping high for our course.

Just because people are different and want different things is not an excuse to be condescending to anyone based on gender. That's what I'm getting at.
This is yet another mind-boggling case of people punishing their own fans; we are not talking miscreants of ill will. Judging by the time between the WWDC display and reaction, they seem to have given it little thought.

If people don't like fans using the RSS, truncate or remove it altogether. It is beyond me that NYT, who seem so willing to innovate and understand the new frontiers of technology, would add themselves to the list of these weird cases.

Also, The Barbra Streisand Effect for reference-dropping measure.
BP disaster is really terrible, plus: Oceans have currents, Film at 11.
The idea is that the mistake is having a process that involves resumes in the first place.
1) email is enough

2) there's already a lot of people who focus on this space, and even in specific verticals like photographers

3) meh.
Rust/Go seem to manage this just without issues.
Pretty much, but also our goal is to recreate the code in a way that R* could have plausibly written it. And that implies no C++11.
isn't government funding? it's literally redistrubtion of wealth by the government.

I never said they had control of what's spent... just that government help leads to higher prices. And it's easily provable that where government puts money, prices go up. Supply and demand - more money available? prices go up.
> Developers who are being paid to write code

You're imposing your own incorrect assumptions about what developers are paid to do.
Well, they did that too...
I've been listening to people say this "uh oh" since 2009. I think literally every year. Not a single year has gone by when someone doesn't "uh oh" and post something about turkeys at Thanksgiving.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I've added filing a DMCA removal request to Google to the list of things to do if this continues ...

The rest of what you mentioned we've discussed in prior comments and are indeed helpful in mitigating this.
Writing JIRA tickets, meetings, running SQL queries to prepare reports for X number of reasons, on call operational work to keep our systems running, writing design documents.
This is amazing. Couple of questions.

1. Do you offer ppp/student discounts?

2. Any roadmap for more projects that you wish to publish?

Or a short term way to escape moneyprinting and inflation until the rates become sane.
That's not a bad theory for the popularity of golf...what other sport lets you walk around Eden for 3-4 hours?
I don't mind a moderate, organic dose of politics.
Highfidelity is not mentioned. They started by building a VR alternative to second life, but then they pivoted to 3d chat for remote teams. In fact i think plain secondlife is a fun environment for a virtual team to socialize. Teams can run the open source opensimulator server and use it as a virtual watercooler.
It does support SQLite through Firefox 4's IndexedDB spec (sadly incompatible with the Web SQL Database API spec). And there's localStorage as well.

Try "trackwear". Now you're on the trolley.
“Any startup job you find on a job board will be one you don’t want.”

I wonder if this is true in areas where startups are not the in thing, like Houston Tx. There are some reasons why I think it may not apply, such as how conservative and big business the area is. But, I also know that I look to my network for partners and employees, so I am left uncertain on this point.
Now that you mention it, it wasn't shy about how much memory it wanted to use either, but I'll give it a try next time I need to use Eclipse for something - thanks.
Perhaps I missed it in the FAQ, but how do you turn it off? CTRL+C?

I understand that you're aiming for simplicity here, but it would be handy to have a menubar icon (or whatever is appropriate for the given platform) to indicate that it's running or not.

Or maybe you actually have that, but it's not clear that you do from the website.
And he's wrong again. The reason high-SES kids score better on standardized tests isn't because they learn more in school, it's because they learn more at home. In fact low-SES kids actually learn almost as much at school than high-SES kids[1], it's just that they start out 2-3 years behind in Kindergarten[2], and instead of learning over the summer they actually regress[1]. What the data actually shows is that students DON'T learn if they're white, but in a feat of epic illogic this guy has somehow managed to convince himself that the opposite is true.

Not really. All such descriptors are standardly applied in a comparative manner - it is normal to describe a snail as "speedy" if it's faster than other snails, regardless of whether it's faster than other centipedes.

But that purely linguistic analysis only tells you that "speedy trial" has no objective meaning, which can't be the intent of the phrase. The right to a "speedy trial" was supposed to ensure that trials occur speedily relative to some context which is now lost.
Who controls the bad system now and who controlled the bad system in the past?

Why is it not getting better?

Who keeps getting richer every second, while everyone else stagnates?
Yeah, and in this commercial nurseries children spend a good amount of time. So its their second bedroom.
It's worth noting that his tired claim-- that Trump suggested drinking bleach to cure COVID-- is false. He did not say this; at best, the author is willfully ignorant of his actual comments, and at worst, he's purposefully lying. Here are his full comments, so that readers may decide for themselves whether or not they believe this claim.

"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that,too. Sounds interesting, right?"

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

Then, later, after asked directly by a reporter if he meant that people should inject disinfectants:

"It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object."
The article does a good job of explaining why Fred Ehrsam is not independent. But it doesn't really give an argument why Fred Wilson shouldn't be considered independent. Given that Fred Wilson is a very successful investor, having him working to protect investors interests seems somewhat reasonable?

Perhaps I misread the situation however.
You may want to specify the phone number format you accept on the form, ie no dashes or other symbols
Cleverly forgetting those from IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Amazon, Azul, SAP, Alibaba and everyone else that works on Java?
For the sake of the argument. Consider a planet inhabited exactly by two humans. They would be in extreme poverty by our standards and there would be no rich class to contrast them against. Ah, it becomes obvious now, poverty is a product of nature. You are born poor by nature. Your children are born poor as well.

Those 2 humans give birth to 6 children. 2 of them die because of a disease. Are the children who grew up to adulthood the rich class? Repeat this until there are 100 people. They organize, they build and invent things. The rich are born, not by nature but by society. Wealth is a product of society.
> the Biden administration’s effort to help raise revenue in the United States

This coming after a $2T pork stimulus with another $2T on the way. Obviously this has nothing to do with prudent financial management. Punishing evil capitalists? Maybe. Trying to prevent a mass exodus of investment from the US? Probably.

I’m sure they tried to close loopholes regarding offshoring profits, but realized the corporations would just exit faster. This is desperation. It won’t work. Capital can’t be controlled and threatened the way that people can be. Capital will always go where it’s treated best.
Personally, we use GitLab for all the internal repos at our company. We originally migrated because GitLab CI was free and GitHub didn't even have a CI solution at the time. We still use GitHub for our public repos since that's "where the community is." GitHub actions is great, although IMO a bit too prescriptive (I'd rather write a script that can run anywhere rather than spend time building up the mental model of the abstractions that are unique to GHA). But nothing beats GitLab CI + container registry; we put a lot of work into our CI pipeline and now we've got incremental builds with a Docker image for every service tagged per commit. And since GitLab Container Registry supports manifest v2, we can take advantage of BuildKit layer caching (I think GitHub registry supports this now too, but haven't played with it).

That said, GitLab has its fair share of problems too. GitHub UI is way better, community/discussion features are better, and forking/public collaboration workflow is better.

I'm glad there are two big players in the space, though; GitLab really lit a fire under GitHub to finally get them to start pushing new features.
Time to burn some karma to debunk some popular incorrect understandings.

Censorship, by a company? On their own platform? How is that possible?

It happens all the time.

As far as I know, only government cannot abridge your right to speech.

False. Marsh v. Alabama. A company owning a company town, owning the roads and sidewalks, can't use the power of their property rights to abridge your right of speech. Read the ruling and do the math: A private company absolutely can abridge someone's free speech!

It's mainly the case that US laws cover the circumstance of the government abridging your speech. However, it's common sense that powerful entities, like mega-corporations, can also squelch a person's speech. Sometimes this is also illegal, though not always. This is clear in US case law.

You've been lied to about this, basically, by people with an ideological axe to grind. (Probably unintentionally through wishful thinking.)

A platform, like a store, has the right to remove those that use their platform to promote speech counter to the owner of the platform.

If the platform is doing that straight-up, explicitly, then sure, they can do that. They can put political affiliation right in their Terms of Service. However, if they are accomplishing this as a bait and switch, saying they're doing one thing, then doing another, then that's clearly not right.

If people are engaged in interstate commerce while colluding between companies to do this, then maybe this should fall under RICO. I hope so, anyhow.
>Werner wrote. Perhaps most importantly, the resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal locus of control”: they believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw themselves as the orchestrators of their own fates. In fact, on a scale that measured locus of control, they scored more than two standard deviations away from the standardization group.

This sort of reasoning is exactly why I intentionally moved away from leftist frameworks that (although many of them I would argue are more correct) focus heavily on systemic critiques. This is my main problem with a good amount of leftist philosophy and why I much prefer the frameworks of post-modernists.

Even when the systemic analysis might be correct, if your goal is to improve your life it is far more important to move the locus of control into yourself rather than examine things outside your control that might be working against you.

Edit: e.g. if you want to get a new/better job it's far more productive after receiving a rejection letter to ask questions like "what did I do wrong?" and "what can I do differently next time?" than it is to worry about what systemic factors make you less likely to get the job.

I also want to be explicit that this is not a critique of the validity or importance of systemic critiques, more so just what I found to be practical in my life.
Google already does this. My wife recently got a new card after hers was mangled by an overzealous cashier. She went to update the information everywhere she knew it belonged, and noticed that her Google Checkout details already had the new card information.

We spent a couple of puzzled hours wondering how in the world Google could have possibly gotten that information before concluding that it must have been a service made available to them by the issuing bank -- Navy Federal in our case -- but not having any real way to confirm it.

We'd scoured the paperwork that we did have and found nothing indicating those terms anywhere, and shockingly, this is our first indication that such a service exists.

Note, I did not call the bank.
There's a pretty common pattern where companies push for openness and standards where they lag, while being closed and proprietary where they lead.
Indeed, there was a great example of collaborative VRML on-line in the late nineties, by exploring a 3D 'house' together you could unlock certain features, everyone ended up in the bouncy fireplace! We were very excited about the potential, it's only been 20 years to wait for the hardware to catch up :)
I onced talked to a environmental engineering student in Norway who was a lumberjack and hunter earlier (that education system!).

He told me that the main problem with wolves was that they are really aggressive against hunting dogs. If you split up too far from your dogs chances are high that a near wolf-pack will come, kill them in a blitz-action and run away.
I'm 99% certain you are wrong, at least when it comes to visits to the USA.

If you were granted a B1(tourist) visa, you almost definitely can't say to the border guard that "I'm here to see some clients for business, and I plan to spend all my free time answering email and catching up on work", because this is what the B2(business) visa is for - it doesn't allow you to work - as in, become employed - in the States, but it allows you to do everything you've just listed. It's a specific visa used for the purposes of conducting "business" - and working remotely almost certainly classifies as "business". So to re-iterate: if you've been granted a Tourist visa, but your reason to visit is conducting business, then yeah, you will be denied entry to USA.
Given that most enterprises are still migrating to Java 6, that is to be expected.
> So it was Windows only, in the CLR with no supported AOT option, etc.

NGEN was there since day one.

Spec#, Singularity systems programing language (based on C#) only has AOT compilation to native code.

This work was the basis of Windows Phone 8 .NET, that only compiles to native code, in a PE format known as MDIL.

This work was then continued to bring static code compilation to the Windows 8 for tablets and now for desktop store apps.

It is part of the upcoming .NET 4.6.

The only deployment format not supported for static code compilation are the traditional desktop and the compact framework.

Parallel to this work, the Dafny the systems programming language for Ironclad,Singularity's successor, also produces static executables.
Honestly, if you can't withstand a little (in this case, very mild) invective every once in a while, then you probably should avoid discussing politics on the internet - if not in real life - altogether. While I obviously don't agree with him at all, I don't think heuving's comment was inappropriate, even within the context of trying to have a rational debate. And, I would say the same of my own 'nasty' comment as well. You don't have to be courteous and dispassionate to the point of servility to talk about politics or any other topic - and in fact for many people that's quite boring anyway.

Really, grow a thicker skin.
