I actually spent the last week looking for something like XPath done right, because I'm doing a lot of xml based tree processing. I resigned to implementing something on top of the generative xpath VM, but CDuce looks amazing!

How difficult would you say would it be to bring it up to date with the current ocaml? How did you solve the output problem in production?
<insert dreamweaver joke here>

I am sort of surprised at how talk about static websites is only becoming top of mind as of recent. When I think of static websites used with success, I always think of Obama's campaign, it was built with Jekyll. There was quite a bit of talk around static websites around that time, and it seemed like quite a few people were on-board with the idea.

When people talk about static website generators though, I don't think many people are talking about tools like dreamweaver.
That's the author of the article, not the source. The source quoted is

Giuseppe Remuzzi, the director of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, said in an interview with the National Public Radio of the United States.

Said interview is linked in the sibling of your comment.
This is happening across the pond as well. My wife's best friend was texting her saying she was going on a first date with a dude. She was asking for date ideas , in corona virus season. We are just like, paige shut the fuck up. This was 7 days ago. Just yesterday she texts my wife again saying she went to the mall with her friend. She says wow all the stores are mostly closed and the fitting rooms for trying clothes are not open...

this person is a fucking doctor. A DOCTOR. and she cant comprehend the severity of the situation.
Very little of that article is applicable. The website is served over HTTPS, the browser has a crypto API now. The encryption in this project decreases the impact of any future compromise of the server (if a share link is never visited post-compromise, it’s safe) and makes it necessary for an attacker to show their hand by serving malicious code to the client. (With browsers as they are now, that can be made hard to detect, but it’s a start. There’s always the risk of serving it up to someone who’s logging every response.)
Keith Laumer did some interesting takes on this in his Bolo stories.
If you get video streaming with decent resolution and frame rate running on a PS1 directly from a CD using AV1 leave me a note. That'll be a good hire.
Railroad spikes (and assorted railroad spike art projects) and flattened pennies, check. The very best things to collect/scavenge though were the glass floats lost from Japanese fishing nets.
Strong words, but I don't disagree. I left a previous job in large part due to the shady advertising companies we were directly connected with, and which I had to integrate. It's really tricky, because the business people on the advertiser's side have all these justifications for why it's a valid model, and the business people on our side had a bigger check than any legitimate provider would give them (same argument the owner of this site is making).
Apple sells you a phone at the beginning, but after that they sell access to your wallet. They take 30% for the privilege of charging you money, ruthlessly enforced to the point where you're not even allowed to run anyone else's native code on your own phone without Apple's prior approval. For your own protection of course, and conveniently also protecting Apple's 30%.
Sounds like a friendlier version of the Pythagoras cup [0].

It seems the Feds can only find the morally or intellectually challenged as civilian foils.
Interesting facebook doesnt have 2 separate apps. A "stable" version and a "beta" version that people can use. When a beta version runs well enough make that one the stable version. People running a "beta" that has some bugs will be far more forgiving than people running "stable" versions with bugs.
I think that hiding requirements from the people building the system would, in fact, be an idiotic move.
We were actually thinking about going away from medium-like splashes. Would love to get more feedback though, but I feel like this could be a right direction.
Unlike Interdependence, Capitalism has externalities.
Yes, but my point was that there is no evidence that is the majority, nor are they really 'forced' to use it - if it's that much of an issue, just don't take the job (as you say).

Many, many developers have no issue developing on Windows or even enjoy it. There seems to be a mindset amongst certain people that Windows developers are not 'real' developers, which is what I'm arguing against.
I guess I'll take this opportunity to plug my own little tool for this.

I use Swagger [1] and more specifically Swagger UI [2] to generate interactive web-based documentation like the sample at [3].

But rather than relying upon source code annotations to have swagger auto-generate the documentation, or hand-writing swagger's verbose JSON structure, I created a little DSL for it as demonstrated at [4] and available on GitHub at [5].

Let me know if you have any questions about swagger-dsl. It's under-documented right now but perfectly functional. I use it often.

Unless by "safe" you mean "safe from our own government". Then, not so much.
As a startup it's your job to convince investors about the size of your market. When a FoodTech startup or FashionTech startup pitch to investors they don't assume the investor will have an in-depth knowledge of their market, they have to demonstrate through data what the market-size is.

You can do this top-down (what's the size of the market for iOS-to-Android porting by agencies servicing line of business apps) and bottom-up (you spoke to 50x agencies in this market; 40% want to buy your product and were willing to pay X). But you need to have evidence to back your claims.

You can very easily explain what your product does without having to go into deep technical detail. Use your story to explain it: "Converting iOS apps to work on Android was costing us around 150k a project; we've built a product that allows us to bring the cost down to 20k by automating away most of the work. We now want to bring this technology to other agencies."
> Slow government is like reducing the clock of your cpu in order to protect against security vulnerabilities.

Negative. Bad laws are the program (business logic) itself, not the vulnerabilities. In lieu of refactoring society, I'd vote to continue underclocking the CPU.

In so many words, "move fast and break things" isn't how I want society to be run. You have proposed we "move fast but don't break things". I do not believe that possible.
I took "macro collapse" to mean some tumultuous event independent of existing market valuations, such as
natural (or man-made) disasters, epidemics, war, etc.

I've never heard the term myself, so I am speculating.
It's not that there are no benefits, but there's not a driving need that these products you describe solve that makes up for the additional cost and complexity that implementing them provides. What's the value proposition? If it's "just cool", then there probably isn't one.

1) There are real benefits with Nest since it can reduce energy consumption. Also, Nest isn't really a whole lot more expensive than other thermostats, and there's very little additional complexity.

2) There are lots of problems with locks: you're taking a $15 item, adding some wireless gear and servos to it, and adding significant installation cost and complexity (since you have to somehow power the thing). The alternative is you spend a few bucks getting keys cut to give your friends temporary access. Also there are security concerns here.

3) This one is pretty low effort (since there is already a lot of radio equipment in a garage door opener) but also pretty low benefit: 90% of the time you open the garage door you're in your car, where the opener is within easy reach. I don't think the value of this feature is very high.

4) They have these today. Less useful than you might think, and like anything mechanical, they break. Also, since blinds are typically not powered, this adds cost and complexity since you have to run electricity to your windows. These are a niche product in my mind; if you couldn't justify them 10 years ago, you won't when they're connected to an IoT platform either.

5) While cool, it's still hard to justify the additional cost and complexity. There's not really a driving need other than "oh that's cool". Until the cost comes down significantly, it's still a niche product for people who want to geek out their home. At today's prices, you're looking at $40 for a single light switch compared to $5 for a non-connected switch, plus you have to configure it to do what you want.

I'm all for building cool new products, but consumers want products that reduce cost and complexity, not ones that increase them.
Perhaps you didn't read my comment before you downvoted it and replied to it?
I watched this live last night on the AGDQ2015 stream, it was insane. It's always interesting to see what can happen when a buffer overflow occurs.

As a side note, this strikes me as a great charity event, and I would recommend that people who love old games and watching software being abused should watch it.

Gah. The ignorance, it burns.

It will take thousands of years for the drift to even amount to one hour.

If people care about it then, ... they can switch timezones (e.g. like DST causes twice a year in most places) to compensate for it.
I think it's more of an honest attempt to satisfy the very low barrier to entry that's been created to web development. "Anyone can do it!" is now coming back to bite, hard. Not saying that everyone couldn't do it, but it has had some unintended side effects.

What I see, and this may or may not be the case, is that web development still gets a pretty bad rap among those doing other kinds of software engineering which lead to a lot of isolated development of tools/libraries/etc that didn't give much thought to the patterns of yore/other software crafts.

Except it doesn't it really eliminate bad behavior- it just stifles innovation and civil liberty.
Well, probably few people here are lawyers specializing in copyright law. But at least at first glance, the rationale for the IA's position is that they are a nonprofit, and their motivations are clearly just to archive and preserve this stuff for the future. And, without them, this stuff might well end up not being preserved.
No matter how safe something is, we should still be trying to make it safer.
that funniest thing is the comment from David Aronchick about midway down:

"@__apf__ i love that people are trying to explain to you what's going on - do you folks know who she is? :)"

So I'm like, who is this girl? I've never heard her? What's the big deal with people taking guesses about what is going on?

Then I check her profile on twitter:

Engineer & usable security researcher. Google Chrome security team.

Yep... sometimes when you throw your two cents in, you get hit in the head with a quarter.
Or even better, write the app's frontend using the public API (and only the public API, no cheating).
I imagine it's likely because intelligence will actually influence your capacity to do your job in the vast majority of cases, whilst appearance will not. I understand in instances where this is not the case, such as hooters waitresses, they do actually openly discriminate based on attractiveness.
Not sure your comment about Microsoft is entirely correct - I know that was the stated intention when MS started the site but I see some evidence that they are hiring locally.

90Degrees was founded by a former colleague of mine, and they definitely hired a lot more than just sales from BOBJ, actually I'd have said it was the opposite - they took a lot of tech guys from my old team at a time when morale got pretty low a year or so after BOBJ took over. Most of those guys relocated to Redmond after MS took over, a few are back at SAP.

Being acquired by a larger company will affect the culture. Most people who date from the days of Crystal look back fondly on that time. Things definitely took a hit after BOBJ took over but if you look back the site thrived under BOBJ. It may have helped that BOBJ was really only 50% bigger than Crystal at the time. SAP is a different story, they were about 10x the size of BOBJ. I left, which tells you something about my morale there.

There has been a bit of turnover at Indicee - there was a period (prior to my arrival) when they were using more contractors etc - but we have a pretty solid full-time team now. We just pushed out a 2.0 of the product which is a substantial reworking.
You'd have better luck using a strategy to win at blackjack. Or even just playing poker for money online. At least that could be, theoretically, fun even if you lose. :P
That's that fantastic posterous usability working its magic.
This is a good question. I've consulted for a penny auction site, and this set of scripts shouldn't be called "sniping" bots - the time restarts unless you're the last bidder, and you really can't tell if you're the last bidder.

They do make sense as "autobid" bots, but that's different - many sites actually let you autobid automatically, no bot needed.
You're addressing a different issue than the one my comment addresses.
Can you provide some context as to why you think this picture is a good example of using children as rhetoric instead of being a reasonable inclusion?

For example if it was a bill to increase funding to elementary schools having the kids there for the photo-op seems fair.

From the filename this seems to be on a gun bill, but I don't have enough information to understand your point (unless it's simply "Obama's done it", which is true of just about every politician).
Governments have way more of a history of psychopathic violence than corporations, on the order of 100-1000x more deaths in our recorded history.

Corporations aren't (generally) permitted to directly engage in violence. The defining characteristic of a government that distinguishes it from all
other groups of people is that it claims a monopoly on the legitimate use of force.
I looked at this yesterday and loved the slide out adapters, then last night I had a dream my macbook had them. Haven't loved a concept so much it crept into my dreams via HN ever.
It's a good thing the extra rigor applied to death penalty usage in the US causes it to be more expensive than life imprisonment. Giving the state a fiscal incentive to execute would be heinous.
The author mentioned YAML but never once brought up CSS.

This article feels more like a rant if anything and illustrates the author misunderstanding of the purpose of the language.
A note from a recent Engineering Manager:

I think in general, the management career path can lead to faster short-term gains in terms of career and compensation, but the most senior devs almost always have more interesting work, autonomy, and better compensation (EM's often make less than say, Staff/Principal devs).

I think "impact" is how you level up in either path:

The more senior you are, the more your work impacts larger parts of the organization. As a manager, you level up by running a team, then by running multiple teams, etc. You're a coach who's always helping your team grow & removing impediments to their work.

As a dev, there are multiple options:

- Evaluation of technologies

- Help setting best practices

- Mentoring the team / leveling up the technical skills of others

- Pair programming / answering questions / supporting team members

- Being involved in projects early on in their inception

- "Just being a solid contributor" on critical projects that need a particular level of quality or speed

For better or for worse, I don't think you can get to the most senior levels by "just putting your head down and coding". Both as a maker or a manager, you're going to have to learn the people/organization side to some extent.

The advantage of the technical route is it will often lead to more interesting projects and you still get to code! :)
This will not diff well if you add a new row at the beginning. It's the same problem with non-trailing-commas, but moved to the front instead of the end.
What's next, bringing back company stores and paying people in company dollars?
The death penalty for drugs offences has quite a bit of popular support in Malaysia, but there are signs this support could be quite fragile.

In studies of people who say they support the mandatory death penalty, when faced with 'judging' specific cases and given the option of recommending the death penalty or another sentence as most appropriate, they very often shy away from recommending the death penalty as appropriate. It's one thing to give a blanket answer, but quite another to stick to that line when faced with decisions about particular circumstances.
"We allowed people to form Governments instead of corporations that have a history of psychopathic behavior."

On a flip note, are governments not known to also have a history of psychopathic behavior?
> Go might eventually get a generational GC but my understanding is that that pretty much requires a copying GC and there are concerns with C interop (right now you can point to Go memory from C).

It does. Also note that incremental GC in Go is going to have different performance characteristics than incremental GC in JavaScript, because of the fact that Go's GC has to be thread-safe.
Pablo Escobar was pretty good at making money too.

Nobody here talk about money making, there are things more important in life. Like, you know, not running drug traffic or mass espionage.
I see these to be true:

"Globalization can be partly responsible for the current global economic crisis. Case studies of Thailand and the Arab nations' view of globalization show that globalization is a threat to culture and religion, and it harms indigenous people groups while multinational corporations profit from it. Although globalization has promised an improved standard of living and economic development, it has been heavily criticized for its production of negative effects. Globalization is not simply an economic project, but it also heavily influences the country environmentally, politically, and socially as well."

The original title has 81 characters, which is exactly 1 character too long. Weirdly when I tried to edit the title to keep it as close to the original as possible, HN always auto-corrected it back to the 81 char version and then failed over itself by telling me that it exceeds the limit of 80 characters. I had to massively change the title for HN to not apply it's auto-detection magic and trip itself up.
Nope. Experience with social media shows that this is Empirically untrue.

There is also boat loads of research showing that just seeing false headlines results in people using that information to make decisions - even if they KNOW the headline was retracted.

You can debunk whatever you like, but at that pace of information flow today, this is essentially pissing into the wind.

By the time you have debunked one thing, many other topics have been generated and the conversation has moved on.

Its far easier to create content, and far harder to verify content. Our brains have some easily hackable ways to verify content.

Recently I reported a YouTube video that explicitly shows a murder. The video (and multiple copies of it) is still online. This video made the headlines in portuguese 'populist' media. It is really disgusting and I think that Google should really make this a top priority -- not promoting this explicit and real violence. What should I do to get Google's attention?
This sounds a lot like OpenID to me, even down to the idea of an "identity ecosystem." Does anyone know if this is going to be OpenID under the covers, with the US government being a provider?
It's purely for assignment of liability. It won't prevent bad things from happening, but it will tell you who to blame. (Hint: It's not the actual perpetrator. If it were that simple, we wouldn't need a new government policy to tell us that.)
I've found webfaction.com to be a great host.
when people say stuff like this

> all the "tax the rich" regulations in the end mean "tax those who cannot escape taxation"

I think they are usually talking about avoidance (legal), not evasion (illegal). while some avoidance schemes do toe the line of outright evasion, I (perhaps naively) don't believe ultra-rich people routinely employ illegal tax strategies.

personally, I'm okay with the fact that some people will inevitably break the law and not get caught, as long as it's not pervasive. if nothing else, they will have to live with the anxiety that the music might stop for them at any moment.

what I'm not okay with are the "tax the rich" initiatives that look good when condensed to a set of talking points, but in reality are just a tax hike for the upper-middle that will be easily (and fully legally) avoided by the wealthiest people. convince me you have a solution for that before you come for even more of the wages I actually work for.
So surprisingly, many of my friends got their first R01s approved in the last year or two. Some actually didn't even have a good publication record or pedigree or institutional position. One even got 3! But was told that the committees are being lenient with first time appplicants.

Somehow that feels worse? Like a heroin dealer giving the first shot at a discount?

Glad I got out. I'm still hell bent on finding a way to do research (garage lab? Startup?) But f*k academia and universities. No way in hell I'm going to tacitly condone their ways by being part of it whether I can be successful or not.
