She certainly didn't waste much time rejecting Hickman's violence there.

This is getting a bit silly, I mean, why would she? It's her private diary which she's using to plan works of fiction. She doesn't need to explain to herself that she doesn't condone violence.

Secondly, the contention is that Rand thought most people had 'worse sins' than child murder. One could conceivably interpret her sentence to mean that, but I think the only reason anyone has is because Michael Prescott ellipted the quotation in his article. It is vastly more likey that Rand was still speaking generally, and it reads that way more naturally.

Thirdly, she does indeed have many (other) negative things to say about the mob in this specific instance, but they are reasonable criticisms. For instance the enthusiasm of the newstand boys crying 'they're going to hang him!' It's when mass-approval crosses the line into unhealthy mass-relishment of a situation. And people coming out of the woodwork to associate themselves with the moral highground.

Basically she saw this case, saw the public reaction, and detected something in that reaction which wasn't motivated merely by the crime itself, but the criminal's open defiance of the social order. It inspired her to write a story about someone who also cared nothing for the social order, who wanted his own success above all alse, but was not a phoney or a hypocrit in any way, or a danger to others, and committed a crime for which he was widely hated: not because of the crime itself, but because he refused to acknowledge its wrongfulness. The initial story was never written but you can see the same pattern in The Fountainhead when Roark blows up the housing complex then goes on trial. Rand was not interested in Hickman, but in a parallel to the Hickman story that shared some of the same elements.

There were, of course, many, many other murders which Rand wasn't interested in whatsoever.
I doubt it. First, were the seizures based on offering online poker in DC?

Second, did DC legalize online money laundering? Some may have overlooked this, but the FBI crackdown on several poker sites is based on charges of more than just online gambling. The sites are also charged with money laundering.
Then you're no better off using a DVCS than you are using diff and patch. Not even git (which is as dumb as it gets) is _that_ dumb.

This is very cool, albeit a little bit slow and laggy. Lots of fun can be had with sharing a screen with oneself... Let infinite recursion begin.. :) But more seriously, this would be great for sharing ideas for a distributed team. Nice work, and simple homepage design is great. Also great that there is Adroid and iPhone app.

What about Xero? http://www.xero.com
The pages I get in my Google results from Mahalo seem to be along the same lines as the Experts Exchange pages you get. Annoying pages with crap ads all over them that just clog up your results.

Google should just blacklist the entire domain and be done with it. Do they really provide any value to the Internet at all?
I came here to say something similar. T-Mobile not only competes on customer service they destroy their competition in this area. (Value, too, with the unsubsidized plans.)

I have been with T-Mobile for about a year now after going through the pain of dealing with both Sprint and AT&T, I will not go back.

Curious, I installed lynx just to check this out.

I find that I physically cannot navigate to the links in the page except the first few at the top.

But.

On the pages I get, the <a ... href="..." ...>...</a> structure is still 100% intact. It's buried in a table and div soup, but it's there.

So, I argue Lynx parsing bug!

> As an aside I really feel like LibreOffice had a lot of momentum back in the day, but when the whole OpenOffice/LibreOffice debacle occurred due to the Oracle purchase, the confusion of the branch (into LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice) just pulled the rug out.

IMO, the concerted attack against the ODF format[1] was also a large contributing factor towards OpenOffice/LibreOffice loss in the format wars[2]

I posted about this in another thread and was down-voted for some reason[3], but I think it is important enough to not forget.

It's not missing, the UX is just bad.

One idea I had was to basically open up analytics to the end-user. Let a user see their ELO rating + stats for different sub-groups and run A/B tests with different photos, messages, and profile text. Basically just product analytics software, except the product you're trying to sell is yourself. I'm not on the apps these days so maybe this exists already.

Swipe apps more-or-less turned dating into a game—you could provide the tooling to become a better player.
Try the Facebook dating app, they aren't trying to monetize anything. It basically is Tinder but with all the features you'd pay for included.

And since this is built on top of Facebook the spam ratio is pretty low.

Some of the features it has: You can always see who has "right-swiped" on you, even if you didn't match with the person. You can see everybody on the app in Facebook groups you share. If you accidentally swipe left you can go back.

This obviously doesn't change anything about the valid point that men and woman approach dating in a different manner. I guess apps made this even worse.
It's the #1 example of wtfpython for no good reason.

It's like someone used to PHP or JS style coercion, doing: 1 + "2", getting a type error and asking "wtf python?".

The walrus operator is obvious, and very handy in many cases.

The capture part of the pattern matching PEP, on the other hand, has been designed shodilly.

> But he doesn't seem to be interested at all.

Great bosses are interested and nurture.

Ok bosses are overwhelmed and trying to stay afloat.

Bad bosses are negative forces.

It’s really nice to have a great boss, but usually I have an ok boss. So I don’t fixate if they aren’t interested, so what can I do. I can be more interesting.

Bosses aren’t parents, and they aren’t gods or shepherds. They are people too and it’s important to not build up mental fantasies where they need to be interested or there’s some exclusive choice between focusing on your own career and focusing on your bosses career.
Thanks. I was not aware of this, since I've not worked on a Microsoft stack for a long time. Are those F# AOT compilers mature and support all features, including libraries? In this case F# would be a viable alternative to OCaml for Jane-Street-like tasks.
Sorry, I don't have any links - I learned it through personal experience. Kept getting ugly blotches in the output that weren't easily explained. Finally traced it to errors that were accumulating because the palette color they were mapped to left an even greater positive error.
>Uh Scott also says he believes poverty is not a result of exploitation but culture or genetics soooooo

You sure he didn't say that poverty is part-hereditary rather than what you are saying?

First, most if not all of the left believe it is hereditary - rich people's kids staying richer and vice versa. Second, he definitely never says exploitation or culture do not come into it.
This isn't actually true. KHTML is LGPL 2.0, so you can release source code for the pieces you modified and binary blobs for the rest. WebKit proper (as opposed to WebCore, which was based on KHTML, and JavaScriptCore, which was based on KJS) was originally not open source.

As someone who completed grad school and went through many interviews not too longer ago - I can tell you that this type of process is a much, much more enjoyable than the typical phone + whiteboarding interviews.

I think that some companies become so intensely focused on hiring the best candidate that they sometimes lose touch with the fact that the candidates are human too. Interviewees are rational and trying to find a job that has a best fit. By taking the time to give them a project to work on, it allows them to get a taste while demonstrating that you have respect for them.

My favorite interview was where a company gave me a sample data set, and basically said "Do anything with this in python". I ultimately didn't get that job (not enough experience), but I remember that company and the guy who I went over my creation with, and now respect them more than the dozen other companies who made me feel like I was on a conveyor belt.

I could go on, but I guess you can do your own research. Seriously, their prices are on average, lower than most.
When I write an app, I never worry that one day I'll wake up to an email from my database saying "I'm done storing your data, you'll have to export it to another database. Look, I made it really easy to migrate."

It's a nice product, but it would work better as an open source service I could host on my own servers and databases.
Some interesting new info popping up in the repo: https://github.com/atom/welcome/blob/master/lib/welcome.md - they reference it as being "free during the beta period" - that coupled with a tweet from mojombo yesterday[1] makes it sound like a whole new line of business for them - sounds big!

In my experience, most people who do coding challenges are the younger folks. As we get older, we have better things to do than do coding challenges, especially a "few hundred" on our spare time. They might have other hobbies or responsibilities.
Cool, following you on twitter now.

I just read in another thread that you know some HTML,CSS,jQuery. I strongly recommend getting a domain name and putting up a landing page for your idea. That's much more convincing to anyone than a wall of text. In fact, don't even waste your time coding it yourself. Just use this - http://unbounce.com. Start collecting email addresses.

I wish you good luck. Feel free to email me if you wish to discuss anything or want feedback.
I joined and couldn't see my own face or bubble. I clicked around trying to figure that part out but didn't get it.

I saw other people could easily publish content to the board and I think that part is a step forward. I could have clicked chess/gif and posted something but exited there.

When I join, I'd like a clear "you are here" with my own face looking back at me.
I don’t think those are good examples. The. ‘80s were an era of rapid evolution, in which about everybody had its own low-level stuff.

NuBus, being a standard predating it’s use in the Mac (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuBus) technically was more open than the ISA bus on the PC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_Standard_Architecture: “The ISA term was coined as a retronym by competing PC-clone manufacturers in the late 1980s or early 1990s as a reaction to IBM attempts to replace the AT-bus with its new and incompatible Micro Channel architecture”)

In 1984, floppy formats were still changing all the time, so Apple picking something non standard for hardware that wasn’t used much by anybody else wasn’t unheard of.

Writing an OS in assembly was normal, too. Shipping graphics libraries with it wasn’t, but you can’t blame them for writing their own. What should they have picked? X Windows is from June 1984.

Quickdraw 3D, one could argue, should have been based on OpenGL, I don’t think it was clear that would be a winner on the desktop in 1995. Also, they started with usability in mind, supporting easy copy-paste of models working, something OpenGL doesn’t aim for (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL%2B%2B did, but it started after QuickDraw 3D (and, like it, died))

AppleTalk, similarly, started with usability in mind, leading to the use of thinner cabling (at the time, ethernet cables had a diameter of almost 1 cm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE5, required terminators, etc), easier configuration (plug in the cable, and you’re good) and also predates the realization that TCP/IP is the winner, networking wise.

I don’t think anybody could have picked the
I agree with your comment. My wife took USMLE exams (all three steps) and she would complain to me that most of the stuff she memorize there, she'd forget them in a year or so (and eventually resort to Google and/or https://www.uptodate.com/home to refresh/review). :)
Just lucky, apparently. The EU says[1]

May I register a “.eu” name if I live in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland?

Not yet, but the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) have begun discussions with a view to extending the scope of the .eu Top Level Domain to Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway ... Switzerland cannot be included in these talks as is not a member of the EEA.

They also have to go to school for 10 years before they’re even allowed in the job market.

I’ll take our sometimes silly interview processes over that.
The point isn't doing good, the point is having multiple viable lines of business. No one does that better than Microsoft - they have, what, a dozen billion dollar products now? Google is trying but has this far been less successful, and Facebook isn't even really trying at all. The closest they have is Oculus, but hardware isn't going to cut it.
I think this is a good idea not only for those seeking to move to the Valley but also those just there for a visit. I was there for a week before and after Startup School this year and I would have loved to have had a definitive hackers reference for the area. It might also be worth asking pg is you can use some of the content from his "Where to see in Silicon Valley" essay.
Spotify is no longer a startup.
Well thanks for your input, and I stand corrected. I liked Solomon and he always seemed like a super nice guy when I met him, but it did seem that there was a bit of a crisis when Docker Inc realized, "Oh shit, we have to make money for these VCs!" and then it got really awkward. I was sad to see it happen as Dan Walsh and Solomon are both really good peeps to me.
Early in my career, I worked for a tiny company that exclusively built plug-ins for a specific SAAS platform. I noticed there was a public-facing page where one could search for any customer of this SAAS platform, so I built a scraper that would auto-search names, main URLs, and ticker symbols for every company on the S&P 500 into this search.

I demoed it with 5 companies to a member of the sales team, and he politely asked me to remove the script from the company laptop, and seemed to be annoyed at my script kiddie antics. He said it was nearly impossible to build a lead out of that kind of information, and that any shop that would try and use that kind of poisoned fruit would quickly tarnish their reputation.

In my experience, bodyweight functions like a closed loop control system that uses hunger signals to address the error signal. The error signal is basically (greatest weight attained) - (current weight) where the greatest weight attained value is severely lag filtered, say 2 years or more. The system seems to be very strong in response to rate changes in the error. The integral of the error seems to be pretty strong over a period of say 5-7 days.

Congratulations on your weight loss, does your experience compare to what I've described?
Curious. I remember a friend's brother, who is a geneticist, lightly rubbing me about being part-Neanderthal when I was barely in university, which was a good 20+ years ago.

(I'm a ginger, he's Mediterranean - joke's on him now we know that a smattering of Neanderthal genes weren't just for us Northern barbarians).
In the chart, all the metrics look like they are in a state of decline in your mid 30s. So we can safely assume by 40, you ( or your brain specifically ) is over the hill.

> Reversing the trend of jobs concentrating in metro areas is not exactly feasible. How would this be done?

Strange question to ask, given we've been seein the decentralization of jobs happening pretty strong for two years now. Jobs are remote now, wheneve possible, and people are moving to areas they want to live instead of being chained to the commute to an office.
Funny you should say that. Look in the news back in the 90s, about the schools history with radioactive mysteries. :)

Ah, true. Penlight helps, but you are correct it is a separate module. I think for being the target of a higher-level language it might help that you aren't married to a standard library.
Someone who cares about the project and the code rather than peripheral issues like the choice of VCS, the hosting location or "social coding".
This is a very sound approach. The main benefit is that all JVM languages can utilize optimizations if the optimizations are in the JVM, thus logic duplication is reduced.

Also, please note that both Clang and GCC use the same approach, except in their cases the programmer typically does not see the intermediary code (which is LLVM for Clang, and a family of intermediate languages for GCC).

They also have a pretty good weapon to aid them in this - their internet users.

They've been redirecting traffic of its user to load GitHub, which is a very smart/evil tactic to use - this is what certain sites did years ago to take down their smaller competitors.
Practical or safe? Probably. Practical and safe? I doubt it. On a standard railway platform, leaving late because some passengers hold up the train is a nuisance. With systems such as these, it is lethal.

For the EU one, the critical timing is in detaching from the fast train. It _has_ to happen before the two tracks split up.

For the Chinese one, detaching can be postponed indefinitely, if slow cars in front know it soon enough, and can pull up fast enough. I think that makes this system slightly safer. Worst-case, an emergency command 'all trains to full speed' will 'just' move most passengers to stations a few hundred miles from where they wanted to go.

In either case, I would expect that, to guarantee proper timing of detachment, the doors between fast and slow trains would have to close at least a minute, probably more, before separation. For the EU design, that means long side-by-side tracks. For the Chinese one, it limits the distance between stops of the docking train. One could solve that by allowing two slower trains to dock at the same time, but that increases the risk of collisions tremendously (two half-width trains docking side by side might be the best solution here)
so then why do you think the segfault is occurring?
So with a whole bunch of additional optimisations (not out-of-the-box) you can get an order of magnitude improvement. Unikernels are at least another two orders of magnitude faster than that (~300ms), without any optimisations.

No they have "mini-HDMI" out, which is an entirely different beast. It would require similar adapters to connect to anything useful.

A normal "type-A" HDMI port is a sizeable connector, larger than a USB port.
I felt exactly the same when I read this. Plenty of people who are very good engineers have nothing in public to show.
The carousel metaphor reminds of when I smoked opium mixed with paracetamol in the golden triangle with the natives all night in their hut.

There was a period of time when my eyes were open yet in my mind a rolodex of motion scenes were flipping in my mind at a speed that I could understand each scene on each card.

Then the doctor(man manning the bamboo pipe) said to take a break. So I shifted out of smoke rotation and left the others enjoy.

Outside the hut in the middle of the night other natives were hunting in pitch dark with homemade rifles.

Really cool experience.
If you pay "Romania rate" for Romanians then those people can easily be hired by companies which are willing to pay a few dollars extra.

I think we have begun to see this with people hired in India: if you pay "Indian rate" then you get the bottom of the barrel. If you want very good developers in India you need to pay above "Indian rate".

The market for very good developers is no longer local.
Sure, but for sake of conversation here it's a decent metric. Another way to frame it: one was recently promoted to senior, the other is an engineering lead who has been managing teams of seniors for 7 tears.

In particular, there is a very strong conservative movement in the US dedicated to the idea there are exactly two genders, and they are very intent on legislating as such, just as they legislated gay people from participating in public institutions such as marriage.
