I worked at Twitter back in the early days. I left because I had an inkling there were tons of fake accounts and bot accounts. I thought at some point this would nosedive the company because Facebook’s growth at the time was all about how many active users they had. Twitter seemed to have too many accounts that weren’t justifiably real.

A few years later I Had conversation at another job with coworkers and told them how easy it was to fake followers with $40. Sure enough I found a site that promised a certain amount of followers for $40. I paid the $40 and went from a couple dozen followers to 4,000 over the course of a few days. I think for an extra $60 I could have them retweet something for me as well. At that point I knew my suspicions were correct and knew I made the right choice to leave.
This is the down-side of artificial scarcity for software. The upside is that sweet sweet green. If you could remain cynical a few years longer, scrimp and save like 10 years of a comfy mid 6 figure salary, you'd stop caring about the BS, and you'd might even learn to love it (or even contribute to it!) After all, nothing quite feels as good as being a well-paid expert in a complicated field, especially when it grows more complicated over time.

It's offensive, and it's not how it should be, it's a "defect/defect" Nash equilibrium when we should be going for "cooperate/cooperate". So kudos to you for fighting the good fight - you deserve to win.
I'd agree that LSP has been a huge boon to the ecosystem. Spacemacs I feel has had the opposite effect. It hasn't had an "official" release since Jan 2018, and there are TONS of lame and fixed bugs that persist in the mainline. I actively recommend people NOT to use spacemacs because of how broken the release process is. It really feels like the maintainer(s) simply does not have the time to devote and it has vastly outgrown what I think is reasonable.

After quitting spacemacs, it was refreshing. I do not believe a "meta package" system is correct. Each individual maintainer should be able to update and release their plugins with an independent cadence. Imagine if VSCode extension releases were all gated by a single point of failure... Nobody would use it (and rightfully so).
I've been seeing a meme lately floating around social media that sums it up perfectly.

"Bees in my fucking head"
I also dislike Magento, I switched to WooCommerce and I'm really satisfied with it, no issues.

This was the issue that forced me to switch: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/21201

Summary: A brand new installation didn't work even though the server passed the requirements.

Their response was that:

> The GitHub issue tracker is intended for Magento Core technical issues only. Please refer to the Community Forums.

And I was not crazy, even after the issue was closed others reported same problems:

> I have exact same issue. Already wasted one whole days , then saw this post.

> I have the same issue. Wasted whole day on it, did fresh install twice. Then came to this from another report that was closed.

> have the same exact issue, first use of Magento. searching for a solution without luck.

So, multiple people had problems fresh installing Magento on a new server, Magento installer says installation is successful and all requirements are met, then it proudly redirects you to your broken home page.
Svelte does three things that I disagree with: uses unconventional JS-ish syntax (like '$:' labels and how it does import/export), requires a very framework-specific templating language and requires a large build step.

Since those are pretty central to how svelte is used and it's philosophy I don't think svelte is a good fit for me, personally.

We all value different things in different frameworks, and that's great!
you'll find this exact circumstance for pretty much 80% of all software dependencies out there.
Not really. A friend of a friend had this issue and it was a huge pain.
...And you havent even looked at scalaz yet!
I need Python devs for contract work on Pinboard, if anyone is interested. Experience working on Delicious will not be held against you, unless you did UI design...
This reminds me directly of the song from the musical Rent: "Today for you, tomorrow for me".
Why not do it behind the scenes?

Simply use the existing MD5/SHA1 hash as input to bcrypt and update all password hashes in your database in one go. Then, whenever the user logs in you first apply the old hash function followed by bcrypt before comparing with what you have in the DB.
I think the author makes it known that when you respond like that, you better not be bluffing at all. It's puffing out your feathers AND getting ready to do battle in court. The key is don't lie down and take it from somebody if you're not in the wrong (he qualified this at the end, unfortunately it should have been at the start methinks). I agree with the rest of your post, though.
If you already have counsel, I was under the understanding (IANAL) that it is against conduct for the opposing counsel to talk to you directly. If they continue to call you while you're moving to get counsel and harass you, aren't they in violation of ethical standards or something? Naturally you have to retain counsel in a reasonable amount of time.
I work for a tech company all of you know, and have plenty of friends at other major tech companies. I don't know any that pay your average senior engineer anything close to $200k, but that's the going rate for an average experienced contract. Specialized contractors get paid a lot more than that.
I did. That's how I got the original output.
> Scala has tons of language features and lets people do crazy things in the code. Hard to win technical arguments with Scala geniuses that like using complicated language features.

I also like(d) a lot about Scala, but this is what ultimately led me to other languages. There's too many language features cranked together. This makes a) for a steep learning curve and b) exposes you to expert's code that is so dense and 'smart' that its a PITA to decipher what it does.

b) you'll encounter especially when incorporating libraries that are not fully stable, and you have to track down bugs in them (if only to know if your code is at fault, or the library's code).

I had this with Akka when it was just released. One line of code and 2hrs of debugging to determine what it did, and if it was faulty or not.
The time period still continues until something other than x86 is consistently runnable (emulation or not) or most apps have done significant rewrites, not when different hardware shows up.
Thanks for your notes.

As mentionned there is a python interface for FreeCAD. There is no need to know OpenCascade.

I didn't know verbnurbs and solvespace.

Verbnurbs is only a simple NURBS library. Solvespace seems to be more comparable to OpenCascade. I will look deeper into it.

In Australia you have a legal right to vote informally. Perhaps other countries are different? Here you are legally required to submit a ballot paper but you are not required to fill it out.
> In fact the only purpose of an init system is to start executables in a defined order, not more.

A good init system should also do process supervision and integrate with the OS's resource-management subsystem (on Linux, cgroups). You could do that with an even bigger pile of shell scripts, of course, and some Linux distros towards the end of the sysvinit era have been trying to. But at some point a giant tangle of shell scripts which are full of copy/paste boilerplate and frequent bugs starts to look like not the best solution.

It's not like systemd is the first system to come to that conclusion, either. Solaris dropped sysvinit 10 years ago, and OSX dropped its BSD-ish init in the same year. Earlier than that, djb also wrote an init replacement called daemontools, which was a bit of a step in that direction, though a smaller one. That got some uptake but was hampered by some of the oddities of being djbware (e.g. for years it was "license-free software", and it was only intermittently maintained).
> Most of these don't seem interesting enough to break into "Featured", "Top Free", or "Top 25" (for utilities) on the app store.

Why not? These are high-quality, well-designed apps based on excellent ideas.
Does anyone have experience doing this from out of state? For example, setting this up while residing in California?

Setting up an LLC in California will cost you $800/year..so this out of state C-Corp seems like a cheaper option

A ticker with the year would be a great addition.
Could someone who understands the technical issues explain the details better? While perfect security is of course impossible, I would think that a 'secure' flash player could basically be grabbed off-the-shelf. And I haven't really thought about it, but I don't understand why a native app would be that hard. I presume the goal is just to make it difficult to record the movies to disk?
What's rational depends entirely on what you want. For someone who enjoys the excitement of periodically checking FanFiction.net to see if HP:MoR has been updated, it's a deliciously rational thing to do.
How is that a "nationalistic slur"? It is well known that the per-capita consumption in the US is roughly twice that of the rest of the developed world. I'm sorry to inform you of this, since you are clearly American, but learn to face the facts instead of drawing one of your "-ist" cards.
> „The only problems cars solve are problems cars cause.”

What do you mean?

If a family with two small kids and a dog wants to visit relatives that are 10km away, I imagine a car solves lots of their problems.

Stick to vanilla iOS for now. I think it's telling enough that FB doesn't have all of their apps on RN. I don't think there will ever be a real replacement for Native. It's just a matter of how close a framework could get to copying it.
If you listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson's interview on Star Talk with Elon Musk you will hear Musk talk about how he ran an experiment to see if he could live on $1 a day, and once he realized that he could do that he decided to take risks and work towards his first startup. I'm going to paraphrase here, but he essentially said "Once I figured out that I wasnt going to starve, I knew I could take risks". Seems like a pretty good anecdote to me.
No, in no way does it mean that.
Hi,

On MEO Cloud (https://meocloud.pt/downloads), you can create a .cloudignore file in the root of the main sync folder. The syntax is the same as .gitignore files. (http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore).

Cheers.
Um, lossless compression (FLAC) is not going to handle random noise very well. You're probably better off with the raw WAV file.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure only the first one-year certificate is free for each domain at Gandi, so after the first year you have to pay for it. Same if you want more than one certificate for the same domain. It's part of the reason I moved to a different certificate provider after a year.
My biggest concern with things like this is that AFAICT their business model is kind of foggy. Quoting from their FAQ, "Pavel Durov, who shares our vision, supplied Telegram with a generous donation through his Digital Fortress fund, so we have quite enough money for the time being. If Telegram runs out, we'll invite our users to donate and add nonessential paid options to break even. But making profits will never be a goal for Telegram." https://telegram.org/faq#q-how-are-you-going-to-make-money-o...

That's a very nice sentiment, but it's not a sentiment that fills me with confidence that I can rely on the continued existence of the free thing they're giving me.
Well, S&P are never wrong...

Do you feel this is more obnoxious than a fixed header bar?

Lots of people do the fixed header bar (https://banksimple.com/ comes to mind immediately) and I don't ever see complaints about those.
Know of any other web companies doing analytics in education?
I ask myself that a lot, too.

I usually refer to David Foster Wallace's graduation speech (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122178211966454607.html) given to the class of 2005 at Kenyon College.
A "other methods of communication" field would be a nice thing to have as well. IRC handles/servers would be something I'd like to add, and I'm sure other people have their own unique forms of communication they'd like to make themselves available by.
I learned to resist peer pressure and defer gratification early on. Sound advice, except I followed it to an extreme. Now I dress like a slob and have no motivation in life, and I don't even care.
Looks nice, although I'm not in the states...
How does single-sign-on require OpenID going away? If anything, it's almost an ideal tool to achieve this, as it is a single-sign-on system. Browser take-over of maintaining sign-ons is an identical problem with or without it, but OpenID reduces the requirements.
A link to the original discussion thread and/or an explanation of what this is actually for would be great! (The about page is no help).
I'm very skeptical too especially when they write this near the end of the paper:

"One virtue of the affirmation is that it can
be combined with instructional approaches that
show promise in closing the gender gap, such as
the interactive engagement approaches used in the
present course"

so the course they are teaching isn't a standard physics course. They very well might be on to something, but I think it's a huge stretch to attribute the performance difference to a couple 15 minute writing exercises. (what is "interactive engagement" anyway? not explained in the paper)
I second that. Having moved from northern Poland where -20C is nothing extraordinary in winter I was quite surprised by the amounts of energy used to heat typical British homes. I guess that is what you end up with if the majority of houses are >50 years old and zoning laws prevent you from changing the outside appearance of the building by for example installing extra insulation.
Just to note - thats twice now you've noted the book is 'turgid' (in your opinion) - it seems to have stuck with you from the reading of the book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egbert_B._Gebstadter

I'd suggest adding IRC handle to the ways of contact.
I believe I just fixed this. Sorry about that. But just to be sure, which browser are you using?
Got it, thank you both.
Amazon knows what you ordered. So it's pretty simple for them not displaying ads for high-ticket items you just purchased.
Why does this not happen or anything like this?

Ruby got MJT in a big effort to make Ruby a lot faster. PHP is constantly increasing it‘s performance and tries to change a lot to get faster (basic building blocks for JIT in PHP8).

Why is python not iterating so much on it‘s performance? Or is it doing this but it‘s not as public in promoting it like my former two examples.
I'll gladly use crio, crun and podman instead of the docker alternatives.
> it was kind of crazy that I had to have a separate machine (VM or real) just to run container images...

Containers use Linux namespaces to decouple from the main OS. MacOS doesn't support those, so no matter what you do, you can't run them directly on MacOS. That's why you need a VM, and you need the WSL Windows subsystem for Linux on Windows.

BSD has jails, but they don't have the same functionality. In particular, I sorely miss the network namespace that Linux has on MacOS.
This is absolute garbage and I find it extremely worrying that it made it on to the front page of hacker news. Either someone pumped it, or the discernment of the readership has really gone down hill.
“Jewish men and boys studied Hebrew texts as part of their religious education and worship, so they had a foothold in the language.”

ALGOL as the first language in CS education.
That is not the same topic. That APJL paper is on
space plasmas, while the argument presented here has far more to do with magnetic fields. Her last paper on the same topic was in fact retracted a year ago (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32132618/) but still appears on her 'key papers' list for some reason.
"I already pay to be close to work"

That's the crux of my point. Change that, and your options suddenly open up a lot.
> HN's obsession with downmodding legitimate questions

"What does it say about the jury?" is not a legitimate question; it's a patently loaded rhetorical question. Or really, an insinuation disguised as a question. "What does it say that X?" is code for "X is a red flag."

If you want to make an accusation, come out and make one.
Reactive programming - you mean like reactive like reactive manifesto? That's not event driven. See recent published manifesto (http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/): they describe message driven paradigms, not event driven ones (now - this is a revision). But that's only a very small part of it! Recommend "Reactive Design Patterns" the free chapter from manning press: http://www.manning.com/kuhn/RDP_meap_CH01.pdf
Good news, there are several satellite constellations on the way to break that monopoly, including some small ones that just address Alaska.
They claim "100% Yours", does that mean they managed to do away with the Intel Management Engine? I somehow doubt it...

For the rest I see a lot of proprietary modules. I somehow can't help but be a bit sceptical. It smells like proprietary lock-in sold as "freedom". I think I'll keep waiting till Pine64 comes out with a RiscV based PineBook Pro.
What assembly service do you use?
Well, this problem exists at the moment. To be honest sockets is one approach to fix it.

Are you aware of the S&P 500 ESG index?
I think this is making clear how many restaurants were only making margin on the up-sells like beverages. At the high-end it's alcohol and dessert and at the low-end it's soft drinks and packaged snacks. It's extremely often discussed that your fancier restaurants live or die by their bar.
Easy to say if you're able-bodied.
I must be the only person on HN who really likes 16:9. Actually I'd go further and do 2:1 if I could.

The reason is that the vast majority of my work is done with two windows open, side by side. A wider aspect ratio gives you a much better picture of what's happening in both, especially if one of them is a web browser (so many sites assume a pretty large screen width these days). The fact that it works much better with media (e.g. watching or editing film footage) is just a bonus.
> Do you literally mean "nobody" here? As in if I wanted to hire you to put a team together to reliably ship secure commercial software, you couldn't do it either?

It's fundamentally impossible given that you won't control everything about the operating environment of the software, and can't see into the future.

I mean, even if you could create a perfect piece of software with no bugs present at the time, that's still not enough, because vulnerabilities in dependent components will arise which were unknown at the time.

For example, if you'd written the perfect web browser a few years back, how would you prevent vulnerability to CPU-level attacks such as Spectre and Meltdown discovered later on?

Or consider if you write the perfect wireless networking firmware, but then end up being subject to vulnerabilities in the protocol standards (WEP was a good example of this)?

This is on top of software development being such a complex process that even the best of its practitioners write code strewn with bugs.
But is that what is happening? They said it was a work related project. That's exactly what we do.

Why would a place like google even use an interviewees code without careful copyright assignment and work for hire protections (ie, you need to pay someone in USA generally to own their code).

I've found some potential hires are randomly paranoid - and if they start giving you lots of hypothetical disaster / ripoff scenarios early, not worth the hire?
I've used both, but I can't answer this without knowing what you want to use it for.

I don't know that I've ever heard anyone say that they prefer PHP over Python, so I doubt you'll get that response on here.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of either. Are you deciding whether to learn Python? What you want to use going forward?

Honestly having 10+ years of PHP experience probably makes it a hands-down winner (for you personally) in terms of productivity. It'd be a while before you'd see any real productivity gains from Python.

That said, there are maintainability considerations for each language, and Python wins in some of those categories.
Be that as it may, we also see time and time again that even major sites still screw up the very basics covered by OWASP.

Did we not just yesterday or today discuss a bank that sent credentials in clear text?
CO2 in its native form is not extracted from the ground. It is almost always produced industrially as a byproduct of another industrial process, like alcohol fermentation or cement manufacture. The point other people are making is that these processes will continue because the main product is also valuable. Until this company gets sequestration working (which they claim to be working on), then this venture on its own won’t have much impact on CO2 emissions.
masks don't absolve individuals of situational awareness (and worrying about the type of mask is a non sequitur in this regard), as we each still need to understand the actual risks of various common situations, ignorance of which is what is driving infection rates, not flouting arbitrary masking rules. mask messaging makes that worse by masking (ha) the real, actionable information and issues. people have been relentlessly messaged to think that wearing a mask in public is all they need to do, but that's diametrically opposed to the real infection threats we typically face (e.g., people we know gathering privately).

we shouldn't accept mindless rules from our "superiors", especially incorrect and politically motivated ones, but rather demand timely and correct information devoid of political intent, so that we can internalize the risks appropriately and act accordingly.

Maybe the firefighters, nurses and restaurant staff who work in cities will be able to afford a shorter commute if city housing prices fall?
A strawman is a claim or argument falsely attributed to an interlocutor, not just an assumption (stated or otherwise) that is not shared. At worst, what we have here is a non sequitur. The fact that you have misused the term twice in this discussion suggests that either you don't really understand it (a commentary on the dangers of ad hoc education?) or that you're merely using it as a rhetorical club instead of a good-faith counterargument. Either way, please don't.
