Don't know about this particular case - but increasing employee pay by a significant amount is one very direct way of the company showing it's dedication and value to you - more direct than free espresso and other trinkets. Money talks.
it's odd that tv and movies haven't fixed this problem. i'm always surprised when i see people talking to the cabbie before they get in, because a) i'm from queens and therefore would never do that and b) have they ever seen someone in a movie do that? no. standard protocol is the cab stops, you get in, and THEN say where you are going.
I never thought about it like that, but now that you mention it, it does seem a likely pattern.

It's especially plausible because it frees Netflix from responsibility for content protection systems across platforms -- if one of the targets is compromised, the studios have to deal with the hardware vendor, not Netflix.

As practical matter, Idris is a new experimental language while Haskell is a mature, stable language with a useful standard library.

But fundamentally Idris is theoretically more advanced than Haskell. The core differences are

1. Idris functions can be proven to terminate (if you choose).

2. In Idris, types are first class values, and you can have dependent functions: functions whose return type depends on their input value.

An example of something you can do in Idris and not* in Haskell, in Idris you can define a vector type Vect n a, which is the type of vectors of length n with values in type a. You can also define Fin n, the set of integers less than n. Then you can define a function index : Fin n -> (Vect n a) -> a which takes an integer less than n, a vector of length n with element of type a, and returns an element of type a. This function is guaranteed to return a value, because the index is guaranteed to be in the correct range.

*For some meaning of "not": you can probably do this in some way in Haskell.
Speaking of Readability, and with apologies for the off-topic self-promotion, I made a multi-column stylesheet which some may find appealing: http://anoved.net/tag/readability/
I'll give another example with mixins: clearfix. I've seen webpages littered with class="clearfix" all over the HTML. That doesn't do anybody any good. With a CSS preprocessor you can define a clearfix mixin and just write it something like:

.class-name
.clearfix
font-size: 1.2em

There are other ways to do it like one long string of selectors followed by the clearfix code, but they're not as convenient or readable.
A couple of thoughts from a bootstrapper:

1) If you were going to get equity you would have it already. It would have been a condition of your employment, in writing. Anything else is empty promise, as I fear you are beginning to discover.

2) Even if you HAD equity, that equity is WORTHLESS until the company is sold or goes public. Equity only has value at exit or if the company is going to pay some sort of dividend. From the sound of things, both are unlikely.

3) I know you feel like you are invested in this company, that you deserve better ... and you do. That loyalty that you feel to the company does not appear to be returned. As an employer, that is a massive failure. One of the true perks of being a bootstrapper is that I am empowered to give people the "breaks" that make my place fun to work at and family friendly.

I think that it is time for you to move on. Follow mmaunder's advice carefully, especially the part about not talking about ANYTHING you're planning with co-workers. At best your co-workers may unintentionally break your confidence, and at worst will do so in an attempt to curry favor.
I did the same thing years ago. Occasionally I eat honey.

I didn't had health problems, but I got a lot more energy during the day(first I cut alcohol that really makes me want to sleep).
I thought it was just me, not having long woken up. I've read it a couple of times now so I'm either thick (fair chance) or it's a little confusing.
Something doesn't add up:

Facebook serves 570 billion page views per month

Facebook’s systems serve 1.2 million photos per second. This doesn’t include the images served by Facebook’s CDN.

That's an average of 5,45 photos pr. pageview, excluding CDN-served images.

I really recommend Codeigniter also. It's awesome and will be right within your comfort zone. The documentation is also really good.
If you are new to MVC frameworks, you can get started very quickly with Codeigniter or Kohona. Otherwise, it's really worth investing some time learning Symfony or cakephp.

Another way to go would be to learn a ORM (doctrine) and a templating engine (tinybutstrong or smarty). I have never done any big php project without the help of frameworks, but some of my work friends find this approach (templating engine + ORM) more easier and better. I can't agree with them, though.

Frameworks are not all about rapid development. If used properly, they structure your application and make it easier for maintain.
Since you are already comfortable somewhat with PHP, I suggest you take it in and work on it for a while till you understand the life cycle of a web application. I highly recommend Codeigniter framework - it does a lot of heavy lifting for you.

Taking this route will also help you realise what you like and don't like about PHP. THEN, you will be in a better position to judge if something like django or ruby on rails would suite you better.
Part of the power grid in the USA isn’t even prepared for a chilly week, as we just found out. First rule of infrastructure funding: Don’t actually spend it on infrastructure. Just pocket it as profits and when things fall apart, say we never could have seen this coming or prepared. Isn’t that what everyone does when a bridge falls down, a gas line explodes, or an oil pipe leaks?
As someone who gave a tech talk on Dart and how awesome it is, I wish I could back it as a tool of choice for web projects.

However, I even abandoned PHP for its fractured community in the past couple months. I don't see how I can back Dart when its creator is so publicly disinterested.

I apologize if that seems harsh, but it's just how I feel.
There's a small chance something of the sort could happen, but there are some nice limitations included.

In the 90s, the companies were issuing to be publicly traded; which means retail investors were free to put their whole income into a stock if they wanted to. Here they're only allowed a percentage of their income depending on their income bracket (over $100,000k or under). There's also a 30% cap to sell, which is far better than selling the whole entire fridge.
How can what the parent did be considered immoral? It's not like they pushed tracking and ads down their customers throats, they just made the interface easier for people to use.
> Another is that it changes the way you think about IP addresses, with endpoints getting a /64 instead of a single address like you did in IPv4.

End points get /128, it's just that subnets are now /64.

That simply means that endpoints can auto-assign themselves a new /128 because--instead ofhaving only space for 2^8 hosts in the typical /24 subnet of IPv4--there is now space for 2^64 hosts, which makes it unlikely that collisions will occur.
Since we're all discussing our dating app ideas, here's one I've had:

Why does your interaction with the app end with the messaging thread? It feels like every app decides that once you've been "connected", that's the end of their responsibility.

I'd like to see an app that takes a more holistic approach: A good algorithm gets you connected, allows you to communicate but also helps set up the first (and second? or third?) date(s). Then gathers feedback on the dates -- what went well, what didn't, and uses that input to refine the matching algorithm (if necessary).

The key here is that the current crop of apps aren't really "dating" apps - they're "first introduction" apps. Getting involved in the whole process could (maybe?) lead to better outcomes.

This is of course assuming that the goal is better outcomes -- as other commenters have pointed out, some companies don't actually want that, they just want you endlessly scrolling (and subscribing). But assuming you build a business that does truly want to optimize for successful outcomes, this could be a start...
That's true of any large public community, almost by definition. It bothers me too, and I have to remind myself not to fret too much over things on HN that are true of humans in general: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

The only way you could get different phenomena is with a small, closed community that would therefore be able to have locally different properties. Just like you need a closed system if you want different entropy.

Actually, this has an interesting consequence along the lines of PG's essay: when a novel/heretical idea does begin to be seen as true, this will probably happen first in small communities, not large ones. Moreover the small community probably needs to be elite somehow, or it won't have the standing to deliver the bit flip (heretical -> serious) to the larger community.
> Does Japan really want foreign entrepreneurs? It's always been very conservative

My understanding is they're also very financially conservative, I think it was pinboard who was talking about his experience as an independent entrepreneur?
Are the positions you’re hiring for very dependent on experience or soft skills? If not, what is preventing you from using a coding challenge or quiz as a pre-screen?
It's a very good point. I had a slight inconvenience today because I was missing one commit on a branch that I wanted. But I could easily get it from my colleague. If my colleague wasn't available, then I've only missed one commit. It's not a massive issue to just redo the work. When I get access to the commit I'm missing I can even diff my changes against it and choose which one I like better.

Even if Github went away completely, we wouldn't have that much of a problem. It is important to have systems that maintain a copy of old projects, though. It would be easy to think, "Oh it's in Github. I don't have to worry about it." But that's stupid, of course (not that it will stop people from doing it...)
One of my teacher used to have this written on the final exam:

"Relax. Don't worry. Outcome of this paper will not matter at all 20--30 years from now. Impress me with your knowledge."
C is a simple language when you compare it to C++. Especially if you need nailed down standards-compliant behavior.
If by "technology" you are willing to overlook sharpened sticks and fire, then I'm thinking I'd be eating anything I could kill. That, and anything I could gather: nuts, roots, seeds, leaves and stems, anything that wouldn't in turn kill me.

I love making homemade ricotta cheese (http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/homemade_ricotta_cheese)

It's very easy and great for making a couple lasagnas which can last a long time. Not sure how it comes out price-wise though.
They are upstreaming their ELF WebKit port. you can find the source code in the trunk.
In an unrestricted free market, someone would just buy up all the property in a constrained space to corner the market. That has definitely happened before in robber baron days.

And honestly, if I wanted to live in a cess pool like Houston, I would move there. Houses are cheap enough (comparatively) but it is a huge icky sprawl.
The counter-rotating wheels are not the same as the two that the bicycle rolls on. So there's four wheels, two of which only exist to cancel the rotational inertia of the 'normal' wheels.

Maybe.. just maybe.. Apple is doing all the right things ( so far as profitability is concerned ) and the competition doesn't have a clue. They are competing on Apple's turf in much of the same way they have always done things, wondering why they are getting smoked in the revenue and profit dept.
Not a fair statement. They haven't wasted it yet. The only just got it. You can't expect them to be making money straight out of the gate, especially when their product's only just became version 1.0.
I think the public (i.e. IPO) performance of this period's major startups will be telling.

Facebook, Zynga, Groupon, Living Social, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

If/when they go public, we'll get to see how they're really doing.

And I think how they're doing will affect the rest of the startup industry.
The real question, as Cave Johnson would put it is not "why ?", it's "why not ?".
It's interesting how advertising cultures are different. In Greece, for example, it is unthinkable for an ad to acknowledge the competition, especially in a negative light.

It was a rather big shock for me when I saw a US ad for a Ford car (for example) saying "our fuel consumption is X lower than the Prius".

This would never happen in Greece. At most, they would say "our fuel consumption is X lower than the nearest competitor".
Looks interesting, but unfortunately quality of video and audio is very low.
Not really. It is like an addiction, however after not being on the internet for sometime one become more appreciative of things around and local stuff. High recommend tech people try it if opportunity arises.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use localStorage, or sessionStorage, or indexedDB. They are valid tools and they are there for a reason.

I'm saying you should not use for SECURITY tokens which, if leaked, can allow others to impersonate your user. So it doesn't matter it uses 40Gb of cached data. Security is not black or white, it is a full spectrum and despite it would be bad for a hacker to obtain a full chat historory or your list of jira card titles it is still less worrysome that somebody able to impersonate you in those services. Security is an arms race....you need to raise the barrier more and more as attacks get more and more sophisticated. So the "then just don't run extensions" or "just don't use untrusted third party scripts", despite it is something we should do, it is not a justification for lowering the bar of all the other stuff we should be doing.

Regarding the references you ask for, what can I say. localStorage can be accessed by any JavaScript running in the page, even from browser extensions or XSS attacks. I'm pretty sure you will find people more knowledgeable than me here [1] and overal just googling for it you will find a lot of resources about why storing authentication tokens in localStorage is a bad idea

I'm curious if anyone has ran a year long memtest and seen what happens. That, and if they can perhaps measure the actual amount of particles coming into contact with the system.
I share similar sentiment. Also - about TypeScript (but that one's bit more complicated to argument).
> And, the company hasn’t explained why a number of users who have deleted their accounts long before 2018 have seen their phone numbers turn up in this database.

Everything about this pisses me off. But this thing in particular... Why was my data accessible through a "feature designed to find friends" if I'd deleted my account years ago?

Dear Computer Engineering Barbie,

Due to team-wide productivity concerns, we are requesting that you no longer wear skin tight sparkly pants to work. Also, it's apparently led to an increase in time-consuming meetings with the sales dept.

I tried to sign up for Flikr and noticed Yahoo had bought them. Refusing to sign up for a Yahoo account, I now use Picasa for photo storage and sharing.
It doesn't seem like there's a chance in hell this will get voted up (what? no arguments about software piracy? no social bookmarking angle?), but since a couple people follow my posts:

I found this while researching one of the recent OpenBSD crypto fixes, and it is fan-freaking-tastic. This is Phil Rogaway, a world-famous cryptographer, addressing weaknesses in early proposals for IPSEC. There is no better way to learn about this stuff than to watch an expert beat the crap out of an early, flawed system.

More importantly, it's incredibly readable! It could just as well be titled "Nine Lessons For Designing Cryptographic Protocols". And it's written for IETF-types, protocol designers, not cryptographers.

I think this is a gem, I'm glad I stumbled across it, and I hope you get some value out of it.
It was used to show some personality among the corporate copy, but it is trend-driven now
In such a case the right way to go is to build a formal model of the informal expectations first. I.e., split scientific and engineering phases. Collect your data, build a theory, validate it, and only then engineer an implementation of it, mechanically, with zero mental activity.

And what you seem to suggest, start writing a parser and then experiment with various real-world inputs until you're satisfied, is certainly not a very productive way of doing things.
From what I understand the door can be opened from the outside.

If true, the only case where having a second person present would be one where an unrelated emergency develops that requires immediate attention at the moment the first person becomes unconscious. I think that scenario is handled by requiring both officers to be in the cockpit at the times where such emergencies are most likely to develop (take off and landing)

Also, that second person would have to be able to fly the airplane. That would mean having a 3-person crew flying the plane (something that Airbus has worked hard at getting rid of for cost reasons), or having a bathroom in the cockpit (impractical, I guess)

In this case I think a remote operator could have seen that something was wrong for minutes, and could have taken over control of the plane, but of course, having that ability carries its own risks.
The environment you work in has a toxic culture that is absolutely hostile to junior level folks. Unfortunately, this is a sad state of affairs in our entire industry right now. You have to specifically look for environments where the management team is making a concerted effort to improve onboarding for new hires.

My suggestion would be to look for another gig. You learned a hard lesson about being humble and not inflating your ego during the crucial hiring process, but don't prolong this pain any longer.
Its realistic but not consistent and reliable. Like I said I want to test their raw performance without any variables in between. All providers get tested directly from the exact same locations and times. Thats the data I wanted to get. It makes it easy and fair to compare.
I'm simply speaking for the majority. For example: https://github.com/blog/1964-open-source-license-usage-on-gi... -- GPL 2 and 3 make up 20% of Github projects, with MIT being more than twice that.
Yeah, so, I would have said it the other way around, myself: speed of processing is an intelligence. To be sure, I subscribe to the multiple-tracks-of-intelligence view.
Remember that Twitch.tv started out with a guy carrying a camera on his head and lifestreaming everything.

Running a successful company depends on knowing which way the wind is blowing and adapt accordingly.

The adoption of justin.tv for e-sport was a huge surprise, but Justin.tv were smart enough to catch on to the trend and adapt.

That's also why the "ahead of their time" trope can be very misleading.

Meerkat treated users incredibly disrespectfully, and I can't be bothered that a company might fold at the first sign of competition. It's not like Jaiku and Pownce weren't around at one point.
So what you're saying is that while high levels of heat cook and burn, and high energy radiation causes mutations and cancers, low level interference could do far more damage ... which we haven't clearly noticed yet?
Does anyone know the people behind the initiative? I am not referring to the instructors, but rather the people who started SEE and pushed for making the courses available for free, etc. I am doing some research on how to get more universities to do the same and would love to connect and learn from their experience. Any tips are highly appreciated.
iPhone is - by far - the platform with the most interesting apps. Here's a few things that impressed me:

* I have this small "survival tips" paper book written by an ex-SAS guy. Now there's an app for that.

* Revolution studios have published their Broken Sword games for iDevices, with UI and audio improvements.

* There are paper magazines that ONLY discuss iPhone apps.
It's not developer profitability per se but the appearance of developer profitability (among other things) that I think he was trying to get at. He says,

"Developers complain, not without merit, that the iTunes App Store is rigged toward low-priced apps. But the Android Market seems rigged toward no-price apps."

He posits that there is a significant qualitative difference between the most popular, exclusive, third-party applications in the iOS market and those in the Android market with the former providing a superior experience. Are you saying that this isn't true? If we admit it is true, then how do you account for it?

"Turn the table and we could be here all day running down the list of high-quality, interesting apps which are exclusive to iOS."
E.E. Cummings, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

sed, and also awk, and ed, are worth learning. I mean coding a chess game in those tools is just a novelty, but you can do so much really useful text processing with just those tools, and they are pretty much guaranteed to be available on almost any *nix machine.
