> it's a huge business

Some people make lots of money of it, no doubt.

I'd say to qualify something as a business, there should be value creation somewhere along the line. With BTC, I see mainly redistribution of value, along with destruction of resources.
Why should a user care about an extra MB’s on their phone for a frequently? If we were talking about 10 year ago storage prices/capacity or much larger apps sure this would be a discussion but it shouldn’t be nowadays. I get it programmers like to focus on efficiency, but I promise you 99% of users don’t care about the extra MBs with the price of storage and value of Uber nowadays.
I assumed your answer would be along those lines since HTML markup is closely related to UI.
It's 2010 and we're still running a lot of native code with no OS-enforced sanity checks on pointer arithmetic or types or capability tokens. "Crash" and "boot" are "virus" are phenomena the general public have become familiar with. Someday we're going to look back on all this as grotesquely stupid, even negligent.

(But I can't see a path from here to there. Especially one that involves getting paid to write an OS worth using.)
Here's mine: to a first approximation, code quality is unimportant. Rapid iteration is what matters.

I've seen lots of failed projects with smart, super-conscientious developers, who wouldn't write a method without a test. And others with programmers that frequently copied code, used globals for side effects, basically did everything they tell you not to do, but they produced programs that people loved using.

The difference was rapid iteration with real customers. This flushed out important bugs, even with code that was written in a way that was prone to be buggy. But more importantly, the developers quickly understood the product in a more global sense -- what was relevant to users and what wasn't. I suspect rapid iteration can turn even mediocre developers into stars.

It's important to recognize that good practices are about tradeoffs. The truly good developer is not the one that never copies code; it's the one that knows when it is the more fruitful course of action. So in a way, you need to be brilliant to get away with being sloppy.
I wonder, why do you think there's no talent there? Do you think Google would have done some due diligence before hand?
Mine is I don't believe single-entry single-exit should be law. It tends to clutter your code with extra braces.
What is the nightly zone file?
Undergrad: 80k Masters: 87k PhD: 114k

In addition to the fact that the Undergrad may be making more than $114K by the time the PhD student has acquired a PhD, there's also the issue of selection bias. Perhaps, on average, people choosing to get PhDs are more capable than people with Bachelor's degrees. In this case, the extra degree could be absolutely useless, and yet people having a PhD would still earn more.
Yo’ve pulled out your wallet. Perfect time for a neat upsell.

From what I've seen, it's true, but Ethereum launched when Vitalik was 19 and his quantum silliness was years before that. Personally I'm glad nobody's looking at the stupid things I was thinking about at that age.
Yes, it certainly does. As far as I can tell it takes more engineer hours to make an efficient x86 front end than it does a RISC front end and the RISC designs I see tend to balance their pipelines so that they're wider in front than x86 designs typically are. Everything here is a matter of "all else being equal" and the talent and hard work of the design team are more important than any of the ISA differences we're talking about here.

> I gave my family an ultimatum and being the tech savvy one they jumped to Signal

Not all families respond well to ultimatums.
The concepts and values of free speech and open discourse are more than the legal requirements of the First Amendment. Coordinated private censorship by oligopolistic platforms that have largely replaced the public square is contrary to the value of freedom of speech.
How did it take this long for them to remove Proud Boys and QAnon garbage? Is the water finally boiling over?

I feel like things hit a critical mass today.
I’m staggered by the number of people who don’t get this point.

You can write any book you want - but no one is under any obligation to publish it for you.
to be honest, i don't know. they're always changing what's allowed regarding foreign currencies and i don't know what the law says right now

He could call a press conference right now and be on every news network.
Kudos Twitter. Ban this shit.
Also be aware that some companies keep a listing open for all times, just to fill their pool to use when it's needed. I've been getting "are you still looking for a job" mails even after a year of the original application (most of them was no-response).
Rocket League is fun and only as competitive as you want it to be.
I speculate that it must feel ok to keep hiring when you're using other peoples money to hire them.

"printing bingo cards is a business any 12 year old with a computer could set up."

LOL. Comments like this show that you'd be better off reading and learning more about what constitutes a business on those (x - 1) re-visits to this site each day - here we have one of the (relatively) few successful businesses that we get to read in-depth about (i.e., actually making money) and you're complaining about the lack of WizzBang Widget 14.9 or TooToot2000 tech fad coverage.
Being a site for hackers, and given that Android's source code is available, this is actually a challenge rather than just another internet dick-waving contest, right?

Edit. Like this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1406553
There's a restaurant in London that has interactive tables - change your table cloth design, interact with the menu, order your food.

What's the food like? Don't know - the restaurant is more famous for its tables than its food.

To answer your question... yes, to see what interactive menus are like, but not for the food (sorry chef!).
"Distinct divisions of power" strikes me as an idea that might be more trouble than it's worth.

Either there's something about your partner that's bothering you -- in which case you should address it explicitly and not put it off -- or you might be bringing worries about power, conflict, etc., into this situation that actually originate elsewhere, in which case you should get aware of that and make sure it doesn't poison your relationship. Either way, the technical legal level is probably the wrong way to approach this. If you can't trust each other, no document is going to save your business.

When do you consider Luxembourg's lockdowns to have started and ended? Looking here:

https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToS...

... the curves look pretty similar to that of many other countries. There was apparently (according to Wikipedia) one between Nov 23rd and Dec 15th but that appears to have made no real difference, in fact, numbers per million were stable during those dates when they had previously been falling.
Great advice.

I had the pleasure of working at CrowdVine for some part of last year and I really learned a lot from Tony and the team there. Sometimes I missed them :P
btw, it's the original LISP paper.
Lots of purpose built servers are vulnerable to slowloris type attacks. Which doesn't mean that they shouldn't be fixed, just that it's hardly remarkable to find one. While certainly everyone is entitled to do disclosure however they see fit, it comes off kinda jerky to drop a working POC on the community just to advertise your unfinished competition.
Looks neat. Can anyone think of a reason to prefer this over Google Authenticator (which also has nice PAM plugins)? The risk of a outage with duosecurity.com concerns me.
Wow, Ruby keeps making noise. It seems to have gone over the tipping point in the past couple of years, into general acceptance.
You'll be hard-pressed to exhaust all ports: modern operating systems track connections by source address + source port + target address + target port. I wouldn't be surprised if the TCP sequence number is also part of the mix.

TIME_WAIT times can be tweaked with the net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle and net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse sysctls, on Linux systems anyway.
I know I'm at a Gawker site when it comes up with an empty frame (I normally have Javascript disabled). So I just close the tab and move along.

What a bunch of retards.

That reminds me, I'd been meaning to unfollow Lifehacker on Twitter.
Quite the opposite.

Wanting to be able to continue building new products quickly and at scale is the reason we invest in infrastructure like this so heavily.

I'd like to hear more details of your issues here. What's not good about the bufio package? What do you mean by "poor abstractions"? What's wrong with creating a single purpose local type rather than using a function literal?
Didn't he start by saying the trucks in this category are number 1 sellers and to move everyone to sustainable energy, trucks need to go electric?
I did too. While these ads felt a little uneasy, his assurances and explanations for the ads were reasonable. And when you see him turn down almost $100k of "easy" money, and instead take the route of sharing the story for free (even with almost all of the news agencies) and earning "hard" money by "begging," it's worth mentioning that what he did was honorable, even if it didn't really "get back at The Man."

I wonder how many people would have turned in that much cash if they knew they were legally in the clear. Not many, I'd guess.
Good point. TANSSAAFL.
A lot of the signal in spoken English is carried by tone of voice and emphasis. Which confuses people from cultures where emphasis is not part of the signal, much as English speakers are often confused by tonal languages.

Written English is more formal presumably because it has to get by without that part of the signal.

That, like mastery of music, language and art, takes persistence, time, practice, learning, error and experience - make the most of your time to devote yourself to furthering what you know. The expertise you seek will come to you.
And also take note that the author was flabbergasted by the quantity of people that read it online. Untraditional media was such a new thing then! He almost seemed more excited by the Internet traffic than the hundred million viewers of the 2 big news broadcasts.
I dropped out. It worked out ok for me. (I would have been more likely to try to stick around if I could have afforded tuition, but in retrospect, I wish I'd dropped out a year or two earlier and moved directly to Silicon Valley to work on startups there).
I'm 25 and I've founded two startups in the past; I know exactly what you're talking about regarding the emotional roller coaster.

But I greatly disagree that age somehow naturally helps you deal with this. The only thing that does help you deal with it is experience, plain and simple. That's why it helps if you start when you're younger.

If my father (who's 51) decided to start a company tomorrow he'd feel uneasy and make way more mistakes than I would simply because he's never been through it before.
Looks like jQuery Mobile put the wind up them. I'd find it hard to justify investing time in the Sencha platform even if it is 'free' - the licence is still commercial and development is still closed, why take the risk when jQuery Mobile is evolving so rapidly anyway.
Titanium by appcelerator was and is free since starting. Logical move by Sencha, I guess.
Having tried the product out, I understand what it does (which as jeroen rightly says, your homepage doesn't communicate), but I still don't understand why I would want it.
So, I have been to this airport traveling as a press photographer, which means you have an interesting itinerary and lots of interesting bits of kit in your luggage.I can add a little human aspect to this article. Last time the guy in front of me at the for mentioned first shielded baggage screening was suspected of having an explosive prompting the entire security machine to life and an evacuation. A false alarm and 30 odd minutes later I am again standing in line, pretty wasted at 5 in the morning. During the whole process the staff stayed very polite and very efficient, making the process quite painless.

Every time I get treated rude and unpleasant by security staff/goons in my own home-country airport for really no good reason what so ever, I think about this. I feel that a little manners & humanity would go a long way in getting support for security measures.

If you drill a page then click a link within that page and click the drill thingie that goes over the scrollbar, you get the drill for the original URL, not the new one.

Eg: http://drilll.com/http://www.puremango.co.uk/2010/10/six-yea...

then dismiss the drill overlay and click the [machine learning algorithms] link and then click the drill logo on the right, you get the same overlay as for the first page.
Windows provides select just like everybody else. High performance IO in windows is done with IO Completion Ports it is a little more complicated than epoll.
You can tell them that you will discuss it after the meeting or just say you don't know. Most people will laugh when you say you don't know and think you are cool.
One more thing: Please make sure that with the websites navigation doesn't have any server side state. To be more precise: After the overhaul of Deutsche Bank's online banking I can no longer, say, review my balances in one window and prepare a transfer in the next, because the bank assumes that I only have one window open and has some awful server side state that pretends to know what I am looking at.

(So I can open two windows, but whatever I navigated to most recently, decides where I can go to from both windows.)
I would guess, based on the second and third sentences of the article, that the author agrees that this is the primary motivation:

> If you already love s-expressions then lisp-flavored languages will make it nicer when you need to build on existing platforms. In case the target language does not support advanced features like macros and REPL-driven development, these can often be easily added by using the s-expressions layer.

To the comment about "parenthesis-laden syntax", I find that, if I actually count the characters, my Java code tends to have just as many parens as my Clojure code. I suspect that there's just a tendency, if all you've ever known is algol-style syntax, to hyper-fixate on lparens that appear to the left of the function name. I think maybe the only programmers who get to criticize others for overuse of parenthesis are Forth, ML, and Haskell programmers.

Windows APIs give great info about size and position of windows. Challenging part is really the per monitor scaling, but it’s not impossible either. Great product, top work
Sending the actual files would probably be really slow on the free server, due to bandwidth limiting.

As for metadata, you might consider multipart/form-data, or just packing it into the query string (obviously depends on how much data you're talking about). Of course you'd probably need to write that in something other than bash.

EDIT: It's pretty easy to send form-data with curl: https://ec.haxx.se/http-multipart.html

Be careful, this has no effect if you're using firefox/iceweasel. They bring their own set of trusted CAs and ignore all changes on the OS trust store.

This is basically a advertisement plug for the blog author's company, trying to ride on a popular and controversial article, catering to those (many) that disagree with it.

From ACLU⁰ staff attorney:

"The TSA has insisted on keeping documents about SPOT secret"

The problem here seems to be exactly that we do not "get the facts".

The ACLU seems to have an idea of "how we get the facts", which is why they are suing. From the same page:

"[This] Freedom of Information Act lawsuit is seeking records related to any scientific basis for the program, its effectiveness, and how much minorities are disproportionately singled out."

Lets look at a list of megacities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_popul...

Bangalore, Istanbul, London, Mumbai, NYC and Pune are all wonderful places and I'd be happy to live in any of them. Mumbai in particular is a place I actively plan to spend at least a year in. (I've already lived in NYC, London and Pune.) I can't say I love Delhi or Hyderabad, but you could certainly do worse.

By the standards of the west, Mumbai or Delhi certainly are "paragons of failure". That's the problem with living in a developing country. It's not a failure of density, the low density regions of India are vastly worse.

My question is what happens if you ever get to the end of the list? And on the other hand, what if you never can? Work from home and the pandemic in general seems to have had an effect on many peoples' sense of purpose; mine included.

Maybe DDG understood that they have no purpose if all they have to propose is Google's bad sides and censorship, without Google's search power...
Speaking of criminal prosecutors, I'm binging Law and Order (the OG). I completely understand it's a dramatization of real life but I never understood how complex the process is and how much they actually lose. You'd think the State/People have the upper hand at every turn and most of the time they do, but the amount of process, discovery and overcoming the reasonable doubt burden on their (relatively) limited budgets is a marvel. I know he's fake but I have a ton of respect for the Jack McCoys of the world.
Thanks. Good to know. Put that in my back pocket. Next year when they want some O@M cuts with a fat capital budget to do it I’ll scope a switch!
You may be right but, then again, organizations do go out of business every day and those reasons are usually that they were persisting with a business model that most other sane people thought was doomed to fail.
Some mistakes are accidents, some mistakes are made on purpose.

The latter needs some kind of consequence in place to offset the benefits from purposefully making said mistakes.
Still missing from Bing. So this is DDG inserting an override.
That's rather hyperbolic in at least several ways. Doesn't most of what we humans do fall into this category?

Some of the things I have done are used by millions. Doesn't make me proud one bit because I was paid to build other people's ideas, not mine.

Pretty much nobody cares about the things that I've done/written out of love. It's no doubt sad and sometimes makes me slightly bitter but there's plenty of objectively worse stuff out there

Fair enough; that's totally reasonable, and I agree with you. I guess I just had an objection to the post I originally replied to which (seemingly) had the attitude of it being impossible to tell what the button did. The UX could certainly be better, but it's not bad.

Could you please link to some web apps built in Clojure? I really wanted to use Clojure for web development, but because I couldn't find many existing projects, I kind of concluded that if you really need to build anything serious you should be using Rails.

That was my point. There's A LOT less distance covered by one car than the other, and the speed in that time as well.

An old pickup trick will still be going 35mph at 100ft. I will be completely stopped.

The severity of injury at 80ft for the two is quite different as well.

Of course... I'd never be driving at 60mph if there was a chance of pedestrians. However, the 30-0 difference is even more staggering between older mass market vehicles and modern sportscars.
Hmm Twitter already sells its "firehose" to the highest bidder.
It’s why I am happy to have a predominantly dumb car with almost no automation, and manual. Would be nice to have EV without all the “smarts”. Having a single screen as your UI to control basically everything in the car is scary as hell.
I know this isn’t applicable to every use case but I recently went down the rabbit hole of cross compiling for the Pi using buildx and in my case I was able to use their 64 bit OS which was released to the general public back in Feb of this year. That one takes arm64 images no problem. Obviously no Pi’s before 2016 can use this but it solves a lot of difficulties if you aren’t absolutely requiring a cross compile and an arm64 image is available.
Heck, this is the entire memory management model of PHP, which I found shocking when I learned it, but makes sense given that the language is intended to generate web pages: just allocate, never reclaim the memory, then kill the process when you’re done.
