I'm not going to weigh in on CC itself (I don't have an opinion either way), I just want to point out that when Texas, NY and California (or any combination of those 3) adopt a standard it becomes almost impossible to find a text book or other resources that are not geared toward that standard, and thus becomes very difficult to generate curriculum.

So with California and NY adopting CC this fuels the adoption of CC in more states as a standard because it opens access to more resources at reduced cost since you aren't buying, essentially, custom materials and books. I think that rubs a lot of people the wrong way and has contributed to a lot of noise around CC.
Not super funny, but pretty cool/weird stuff in a project I inherited:

app <- -> exports.setup = it

in LiveScript seems to compile to

(function(it){
return exports.setup = it;
})(function(app){})

which is pretty crazy.

Another one, just above some code making many deep monkey-patches to the Sequilize db driver:

/* HOLY FUCK THIS IS THE SKETCHIEST THING EVER */

made me smile.
Are you already state side? Things might be a bit harder with immigration.
Is this based on MBTI/Jungian personality types? Because it corresponds almost exactly to INTJ vs INTP.
It depends on how well you are able to establish relationship with your customer in initial days. Most ppl I have worked with don't care if you work or not, as long as product get delivered. Learn to delegate to your peers.

I have managed to negotiate with my employer to write a book, even do personal consulting gigs when we were working on a tight deadline projects. They were good with it as long as I was able to motivate the team to get things done.

My rule is have an 8 hour job where you are able to delegate work, read about things for your blogs, side projects while having short breaks on main job, establish a social presence so people can look up to you.

Understanding this problem--what would you say is the most "legit" way to advertise and earn money with a sight like this--? Adwords? Something else?
MS has a license for use with non-smartphones for several more years.
It would be fascinating to see a complement to this thread, "Side projects that never got any traction". The tech press has a huge bias toward reporting on "what works" based on projects or companies that succeeded, without ever looking at the many projects and companies that do exactly the same things as the successful ones without ever getting anywhere.

I've been very successful in the technology world, including running my own scientific and software consulting company for many years, but as a novelist and poet I've been a complete failure, despite approaching the two in very similar ways. Maybe the markets are simply very different, or maybe it's just luck, or something else. So I think it would be interesting to see some side-by-side of projects that took off and projects that didn't.

There are lots of really interesting things people are posting here, but I bet for every success story there is a story of failure that involves a great many of the same elements, yet somehow never grew beyond the "that was an interesting way to spend my spare time for a while" stage.

> Could you explain further? It seems like you believe that something should change, but it is not clear if you are saying that the "mathematics" or the mainstream American culture should change.

The culture needs to change. Full stop.

I just have no idea how to do it.

> Are you disagreeing with Lockhart

Nope.

> Or are you saying that it is unlikely that reforms will be possible to change the system to present "mathematics" in the way Lockhart would approve of?

Not exactly what I was saying, no. Changing "the system", however, will be extremely difficult at best, though.

> Or are you saying that even Lockhart's "mathematics" is and will always be hated by mainstream American culture?

That remains to be seen.
I think it comes down to the personality of Rudd and his need to keep an iron grip on the government. He's got a filthy mouth and temper as shown on several occasions, and he develops all his policies in combination with just 4 ministers.

The fact that the (former) environment minister found out about the dropping of the ETS via the newspaper tells you how centralised the decision making is. Same goes for the mining tax ; developed in secret, behind closed doors and out it comes with a 'my way or the highway' attitude.

My point : I don't think they know what they are doing. They look very similar to the misguided wanderings of the last 12 months of the Howard government.
Wordpress being down is an inconvenience, gmail being down is a pain in the ass. I expect better up time out of my email service than out of a blogging service.
Which bits do you consider "extraneous crap"? The only part that I feel could fit that description is the Events part. Is there anything else you feel doesn't belong in the core jquery?

The current version is about 24kB gzipped. Also given the ubiquity of jquery and the popularity of the Google hosted version, chances are your users already has jquery in their browser cache. Just slap http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min... at the top your pages and don't worry too much about it.

This is the one that has always bugged me; I am writing a novel at the moment (when I get chance). Composing chapters in my head is really easy and I get a good flow going - till I get home and sit down at the computer and it gets all stilted.

I reckon I've "written" some chapters ten times over in my head before they made it to the computer :)
Timely wisdom....

I've seen people hung up on the calling yourself while defining yourself concept. Talking through that often highlighted a mental model of functions where they were sort of almost cut'n'pasting the other function into their code. Basically their model was too low level and the understanding of defining and calling functions were unnecessarily conjoined.
Net expenses exceed net revenue, their cash comes from selling stock, and profits only come from selling regulatory credits given by governments.

Yup, totally awesome.
If a lot more than 100k is 150k you make more than 92% of Americans. At 180k it's more than 95% of Americans.

We are all really happy for you but most people aren't in the same boat comparing Europe and America based on how well it works out for the wealthy doesn't seem useful.
Same way as in other weather.
No, he had a day drinking and absentee problem. My boss talked with him, offered him another chance, but he resigned. He really didn't like following requirements either but I think it was just a symptom of his overall problems. He was going through something and we were just a stop on his journey.
Most work knowledge now is google deep, but even back to the 80’s I encountered a lot of college grads who did not want to read the code.

A lot of it is intimidation, they’d never seen a printout stack of 50 or 100K eslocs. Kids today never start with monolithics like that but they do get swamped by the fifty layers/packages that change every year.
Many times the circumstances aren’t in your control. The business may not be doing well, or your project or your division. Your manager may get replaced or his skip or the division manager. They may not like you because you speak up a lot. There can literally be a million reasons for getting laid off or fired and keeping that in mind is always healthy lest that you’re caught off guard.
Did they expect to release in a non working state?
What’s being missed in this thread is that nobody (streamers) is an employee of Twitch - Twitch graciously offers them their platform, but that’s like your local fruit stand offering you a place to juggle next to it. They can take that away at any point because you are not their employee. If you had some legally enforceable contract, maybe there was a leg to stand on. Otherwise, twitch is under no obligation to give anyone a platform.
so... openmp?

It is standardized and widely implemented, just not part of the C++ standard itself.
If "pro-gg" cares about ethics in journalism, doesn't that mean that "anti-gg" denies that journalism has poor ethics? What does mysoginy and sexism have to do with ethics in video games?
And don't forget all the IoT devices that will be produced as a black box in Asia and will never get a firmware update during their livetime of use.

They will provide various meta information about infrastructures that could be used in a broader context.
Always really important not to jump to conclusions on these things, but I can't help but be curious to know what time zone these time stamps are in. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to find out. The http headers for that page also simply report the current time.
Before we do that, we should find the monolith. After all, landings on Europa may be prohibited.
I have read that sleep deprivation is as bad as getting drunk in terms of the number of IQ points' hit taken, so I would argue that many folks in the industry are effectively coding drunk :-)
I get the lap data from the Ergast web service: http://ergast.com/mrd/
I don't like the wording here:

The majority of our coins are swept and placed in cold storage often so this shouldn't be a major issue right now.

It leaves too much wiggle room. It's like saying:

At least some coins have not been placed in cold storage so this could be an issue.

Does not look good.

Please don't be a jerk in HN comments, especially when commenting on someone else's work. The damage you do exceeds the help you give.

Don't forget that, in an "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" sort of way, it's easy to seem like a much larger asshole in internet comments than one seems to oneself. If you don't want to come across this way, you need apply a corrective transformation to avoid it. (And if you do want to come across this way, you shouldn't be doing it on HN.)

>What would it take to convince you?

Not speaking specifically to this issue, but I've lost a lot of my trust in science after reading a great deal of literature in psychology and paying attention to how funding impacts results. To reference XKCD, if I really wanted to and had enough funds, I could produce findings that a given candy causes acne. And if the opposition side is too politically unpopular to have comparable funding (to say nothing of the funds to distribute the results to society in general) then they could do little to counter me.

Cuckoo filters sound interesting, I will definitely investigate further, thanks!

> I have to wonder how much benefit a user would get from letting parts of the backup run concurrently with other operations. Aren’t backups usually just run relatively infrequently on a fixed, automated schedule?

This is good point, i think it depends a lot on the repository size and storage latency. Some other similar backup tools can take many hours to do a garbage collection on a huge repository, so I'm trying to avoid that if I can. In the end it hasn't been a huge complexity burden and I hope I can keep it that way.
The first link (on webup.org) is the original one. The rest is someone else copy-pasting the content on their websites without permission. But Google does have its tools to detect such a scam.

About the newsletter in the article: I think you can join Nicholas’ mail list and reply to one of his emails or DM him on Twitter. He is a nice guy and will probably send you the “Thoughts of mistakes”.

Yes, very impressive high school economics. In the real world you'd be looking at the tax implications of going under and minimizing them.

This of course is too complex to model is completely ignored. A lot like ignoring the atmosphere when designing air planes.

I found the site, and then I found your other posts under other new usernames. Please don't spam the board.

That said, if you want to stand out, maybe try linking to a short video of you coding with a voice over. I think most hiring fear is that the remote worker just won't understand you, or doesn't know how to code. A 5 minute video, honestly representing your work, would be a great way to prove you can hack it, and justify closer to $30/hr.
Why is this post on the front page, what's so special about it?

Read the TOC:

1 Not using development tools

2 Blocking the event loop

3 Executing a call back multiple times

4 The Christmas tree of callbacks (Callback light)

5 Creating big monolithic applications

6 Poor logging

7 No tests

8 Not using static analysis tools

9 Zero monitoring or profiling

10 Debugging with console.log

The author talks about trivial or something that has already been written few times.

It would be interesting to see if a post with the title "Top 10 Mistakes C # Developers Make" and comparable content would get just drop the same attention and encouragement. Maybe if it was written by Jon Skeet...

If anything, Nadella presents a vastly different attitude from MS than the previous CEOs. For one thing, I haven't seen the incredible arrogance towards other companies and technologies that MS has had in the past. Such as when Ballmer promised to kill linux, and called open source software a cancer. Now MS is open sourcing a lot of software.

Another thing that Nadella is doing is pushing new technologies and ideas which is not usually seen from MS. As the article mentions, MS was usually playing catch up or me too. These are promising changes, but still, because MS has been a fierce competitor who pretty much screwed over a lot of their partners and other companies that they've done business with, they became one of the most feared companies in the tech field. I'm left with the sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe one of the reasons for that is the way MS pushed Windows 8 and their tablets. I've seen the corporate speak and boosterism that their people have been spouting when it first came out. Although it was still under Ballmer's reign, they are recent enough to make me wonder how quickly MS people can change under Nadella. Or if they'll even change. Nadella needs to make a huge impression to both the public as well as to MS employees if he's going to really change the culture and business practices of MS. In summary, Nadella seems to be the best person to do this job.

I can attest to that, my old Saab performed terribly (performance and fuel economy) during the time I was running around with a pierced and corroded exhaust mid-section flexi-joint.
> Using strong crypto in a commercial product, especially one intended for international distribution, still brings up a bunch of legal issues that they may have been trying to sidestep:

But apparently they sell VPN software. That's their product. The obscured by not encrypted output is the information from the inside of the VPN, and more.

They could not avoid solving legal issues anyway when selling VPN.

They completely deserve a "doghouse" tag on Schneier's blog:

"A decade ago, the Doghouse was a regular feature in both my email newsletter Crypto-Gram and my blog. In it, I would call out particularly egregious -- and amusing -- examples of cryptographic "snake oil."

I dropped it both because it stopped being fun and because almost everyone converged on standard cryptographic libraries, which meant standard non-snake-oil cryptography. But every so often, a new company comes along that is so ridiculous, so nonsensical, so bizarre, that there is nothing to do but call it out."

FortiGuard qualified IMHO. A big seller of VPN software to companies (2B revenue!) who is deliberately faking encryption.
what billionaire does that? Maybe there is one or two, but the world is not supposed to be designed for the convenience of the ultra wealthy. Of course since they have so much purchased political influence they do get a lot of things going their way.
The pertinent question would be: why would you exclude sales and marketing from the gross margin, but include support costs. Ostensibly you are able to scale back sales and marketing without alienating your existing customers, but realistically optimizing for GM then potentially leads to an organization that oversells (high sales and marketing costs) and underdelivers (low value of what's actually in the product)
Acting responsibly as a researcher who has discovered a vulnerability requires delicately balancing a question of two greater evils. Will more people get hurt overall if we announce the vulnerability sooner, or will more people get hurt overall if we wait until the vendor is ready?

In most cases, working with the vendor to allow a patch and a warning to be released is the path of least harm. But sometimes the right decision is to announce a vulnerability before the vendor has issued a patch.
I am working on similar lines as yours,Can you tell your company name? How did you solve the challenges of getting/collecting news data
Discovered him from his podcast as well, it's wonderful. Here's an example interview with Chris Lattner: https://www.swiftbysundell.com/podcast/50/.
Have you seen kops? rancher? loft? I don't think its that terrible to manage k8s at all using the tools available to you. k8s definitely used to be be difficult to manage but that isn't the case anymore.

But literally every cloud provider out there has a managed solution so at this point you really only need to do it for DC work or if you like to do it.

Amazon - EKS
Google - GKE
Azure - AKS

anything beyond those 3 is a rounding error but...

Linode - LKE
DigitalOcean - DigitalOcean Kubernetes
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service
Rackspace - KAAS
You got downvoted but I sympathize. Everyone likes what they like, and are heavily influenced by what they hear (and grew up hearing, particularly). It’s not wrong, just how we generally are.

Western music tolerates more syncopation and chromatic sound than it did 200 years ago, that’s something. If all you listen to is pop, you’re missing a LOT.
We don't allow businesses to profit "wildly" because we don't want to pay people more. We allow businesses to profit because it isn't fair to make someone pay X when someone else is very happy to get paid a fraction of X. It's about justice and fairness. I mean I'd love to get paid Silicon Valley programmer wages, but I'm perfectly happy to program for a fraction of those wages. And it would be an injustice for me to be unemployed because my employer was forced to pay Silicon Valley wages.

And what are "wild" profits? Because most companies are making far less than 8% of revenue as profits.
On Linux, browser.backspace_action = 2 was default since 2006-12-07:

Ughh.. turns out heroku and the aspell-en + pyenchant dictionary don't play well together.. gotta figure out a way to fix it.
I have/had phenomenal problems avoiding DNS leakage with openvpn on my ubuntu installation. Spent a day or two, trying fix after fix from many sources, the best solution was ripping out the POS that is systemd-resolved and throwing in dnsmasq.
A lot of backup software natively supports S3 like APIs now. Even open source like duplicati, kopia, etc.
When someone suggests a clever loophole, the response is usually “that would never work, the police and the judge will know exactly what you’re doing”. But somehow, a whole industry developed around the “do not do … detailed prohibited thing”.

I guess, because it somehow worked that one time, it became memorable as an exception, while in most cases it wouldn’t fly in court.
I cannot believe that solution was allowed to be patented. How crappy is our patent process? Most engineers writing code would come up with that solution first.
The term you use, "illegal" is not the same as "invalid"
"This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends" tackles an important question: What causes the vulnerability of our modern world to "cyberattacks"?

What causes that vulnerability? Lack of liability for software vendors. If Microsoft had to pay the costs of vulnerabilities, we'd have far more secure systems.

There's one area of the industry where companies are held financially responsible for their mistakes - gambling systems. A few percent of revenue goes to paying for mistakes. For GTech, before they were acquired by a non-US company, you could see the numbers in their annual report. It's not a killer.
Tesla's GAAP gross margin is 21%, GM's is 11%.
+1, same issue in FF3.5 and IE9 (works in FF4).
Even rounding up to $5M in sales with the 3 humble bundles, a 5% commission comes out to $250,000. Factor in hosting costs and salaries, and that's not really enough money to build out a business.
