My car has a "sound symposer" feature, and a 6-speed manual transmission. It has a tube coming off the engine, through a butterfly valve, then into the firewall of the car. The butterfly valve opens when the engine is under high load, so that the car is quiet normally, and loud if you get on it (inside).

I really enjoy this feature, and have actually redirected the tubes past the valve so that the sound is always on 100% of the time. This allows me to hear the engine RPMs while shifting, instead of monitoring the RPM gauge. It also reminds me to be more mindful of fuel economy because I can hear when I'm wasting gas.

I can understand a fully electronic sound being annoying - and the feature would annoy me on an electric car like a Tesla... But with the setup that mine has - I think people are just whining and that this article reeks of sensationalism. Also, it can be easily disabled in about five minutes by anybody who can watch some how-to videos on YouTube.
If a company want to create a proprietary client, they can always do that. They simply has to pay programmers to do the work, rather then freeload on the work of a research university.

Alternative they could collaborate with the research community, adding to the common knowledge in computer science and security on a deal where everyone share in access. For security and encryption software, I find this deal to be quite necessary for everyone involved and are thus glad with projects license choice.
The group releasing it has a drop in forums/commenting system called "Muut" that is fantastic. We needed a private forum system and it was one of the easiest integrations I've ever done. Really solid work.
I am not disagreeing with your reading of the article, but adding on my own interpretation, as this general advice is tossed around on multiple teams I work with.

The way I see this is not as a diktat, but as an acknowledgement that if you find a problem, you have enough domain knowledge to be able to contribute to a solution, and the fact that you are the first to identify the problem lends evidence to support the fact that you understand (at least a portion of) the source of the problem better than your team.

Don't pass the buck by reporting the problem and assuming it will be fixed. Take the time to fix it to improve things for you and for your team.

Obviously there is a huge range of appropriate responses, but I think keeping this sort of understanding is important. A problem that you identify is a problem in something that at least touches your team's primary responsibility.
I am not sure how you can make the statement that higher minimum wages don't equate to job losses. Do you have proof? It's common sense that if you wage the price of something you buy less of it. Unfortunately for the poor, minimum wage jobs are rather elastic. In France, with a relatively high minimum wage, unemployment is double digits and places like McDonald's have gone to digital order machines as opposed to hiring more cashiers. While that might increase demand for computer machine manufacturing and services, the minimum wage students and unskilled persons aren't likely to have the skills needed to gain those jobs.

You also have the chronically unemployed in both the U.S. as well as places like France where it's livable to simply collect the government check.

Minimum wage shouldn't be a career. I have little sympathy for those who haves worked minimum wage for ten years or more. That suggests a lack of ambition, intelligence or both. Even the pimple faced 16 year old at Chick fil'a eventually gets promoted to team leader potentially in a matter of months or a year. Those who have worked minimum wage for 5 years or more, I'd be very interested in their work history, their criminal record, their tardiness, their productivity.

At a place like McDonalds, if you just show up on time consistently, you get raises. If you're a hard worker and express the desire there are plenty of assistant manager trainee tracks available.

Raising minimum wage isn't the answer -- taking away the incentive to be lazy would do more than throwing people an extra $2 per hour. The same bad decisions that got them in that situation are still the same bad decisions that they will keep making; unless there is incentive to stop.

Someone right now could go to North Dakota and get a job doing local truck deliveries paying up to $100k per year, some positions will even train. Working in the oil patch down in Texas and Louisiana offers high paying entry level positions that quickly end up paying over $100k.

My point is that there is always a way out of a minimum wage existence, the problem is that many people are content getting their free Medicaid, EBT cards and subsidized housing; so there is less incentive to move across the country or take a class somewhere or join a union apprentice program.

I am not saying end welfare or anything like that, but a safety net ought not become a way of life as it has for millions of people.
Interesting read as a developer who just switched from a several year old MacBook to a home-built Linux desktop. For a few days I was running Debian, but I quickly ditched that in favor of Linux Mint Debian Edition because of its superior user experience and more up-to-date packages (it is based off of Debian Testing rather than Stable).

While Debian is a great choice for servers because of its stability, what I want on a development workstation are the tools to write code effectively and deploy it there.
Reality check: if a state actor wants to add a backdoor it's easier at the parts closest to the consumer: the integrators, not the fundamental technology

Of course you could be playing the long game as well like with Dual-EC-DRBG
Isn't MIT (publisher of article) supposedly funded by public money (or even if it's not it's probably some kind of non-profit/charity)? This has already been paid for. Imho journalism shouldn't be gated by money since you definitely want everybody to somehow get access to it: the only decent way to fund it is with progressive taxes, like science hospitals or schools.
What about dads who would like to do the same?
> As a society and as individuals we have a choice: pay for journalism through ads or pay through subscriptions.

There can be no singular choice that allows us what we want as individuals and what we need as a group. By now, most of us understand that advertising is one way to monitize online content, but the fact is that some companies who use advertising have taken their efforts far beyond anything reasonable. Sites with popovers, moving elements, content replacement, failure to load without JavaScript, blinking, annoying, trolling with imagery, you name it the ad market has done it to us.

So, we're suppose to accept advertising as some legitimate ad model because...why?

Now subscriptions are interesting, but if the article content is only accessible through subscription, then how does the search for that content work?

Advertising.
No, but as the past 4 years have proven, if the election results were reversed the Left would absolutely be doing so.
I agree, the title is misleading. This doesn't have the traditional hallmarks of money laundering since the scheme is mostly transparent and fradulent. It's really just a scam.
That hasn't been my experience. Policies may have changed, although I'm not sure how they'd know if purchased something using a credit card if you don't have your receipt.

Most places typically will provide the refund if you have the merchandise and an ID. The ID helps loss prevent determine if someone's returning an abnormally large amount of goods, but there's no shortage of mules for this kind of scam.

I'm not in the loss prevention field (anymore), and my knowledge of these sorts of scams is a few years old.
Hum... maybe it's because they have so much technical expertise that they are able to have insights into other things?

Technical knowledge is still very important, and it's the basic foundation of being a software engineer, and maaaaannyyyyyy people out there don't even know the basics.

Hey! I'm Alex and I'm looking for a new software engineering role. I'm the epitome of "jack of all trades"... over the past decade I've worked at companies from start-ups to Fortune 500s doing front-end, back-end, architecture, cloud, integration, modernization, greenfield, and several other types of dev work. I love solving problems holistically and would love to work on your team!
No. Look to safety-critical software for intuition on why.

Simpler is more reliable. Also, it's hard to know enough about a problem to make a generic solution until you've solved the problem 2-3 times already. But ... having solved a problem multiple times increases the risk that you will be biased towards seeing new problems as some instance of the old problem and therefore applying unsuitable "generic" solutions.
> The problem is JavaScript-as-bytecode is not especially easy to improve. Anything you want to add/change that would make it a better bytecode has to be balanced with the language's use by humans.

There are very few cases where human use causes problems. goto is the only one I can think of. Yet we've gotten loads of great improvements in ES6 to make it a good compiler target, like float32 and better integer multiplication.
> "Facebook was just another "me-too" social networking site at first"

That's a little uncharitable. I joined Facebook fairly early on (when it first launched for college students), and it was the first social networking app of any sort to even hold my attention. Friendster came and went without me ever visiting, so did MySpace... We may not like all that FB is doing, but IMHO it was a lot more than a me-too, even in the beginning.
"I got exactly what I agreed to.

I feel betrayed!"
And I buy used vans. Whet you know might not reflect generic situation.
A lot of these emergency orders were initially understandable, but there's a point where there really needs to be legislative action to back them up. Without that, it starts denying people due process.
You do realize the government pays for sex reassignment surgery there...
WebRTC with STUN is pure p2p where ffmpeg it requires a rtmp or rtsp server
It was deprecated and will be removed eventually, but for now, it's still working fine.

Anyway, the point is that it's possible within CLR constraints. There's just not much demand for it, and it's effectively a whole separate CPU arch for the compiler to support, in addition to x86/x64/ARM.
Did your dynamic languages not have some sort of build tool? Heck, Javascript has Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, a million others. Ruby has rake, Python pipenv/poetry, I guess. Python is actually kind of outlier, I guess you're expected to write Python scripts to manage your packaging and such.
No, not yet, but like to daydream :D

The tech is here, or almost here so there is a possibility for development of new ways of interacting with data and integrating it in our lives.

I mean, as a kid I was jealous of the people who experienced the PC revolution. What a time to be alive,but I was wrong.
This is the time to be alive if you are into computers and development. I guess the playground is now opened for a big leap forward, and with accessible HW and open source SW, it could be grit and vision that determines who does something spectacular now.
In my opinion they have only gotten better. That said - my opinion of Actel was pretty close to the floor.
I upvoted you not because I agree with your counter point, but that it adds to the discussion.

I'm a minarchist/anacro-capitalist/geolibertarian somewhere near there anyway, so I understand your left-anarchism point of view. When I say "win" I was referring to the original comment about the overproduction of drills. When evaluated for wether or not it is efficient to have community shared drills vs individually owned drills.

It doesn't matter to me what someone's personal wealth is. At all. If there were an extra terrestrial that had a vast, planet sized space ship just past pluto I wouldn't be jealous of it. I wouldn't claim it. It is his, why should it matter to me?

The only wealth I take issue with is wealth that was created through fraud, like the original bankers that created fractional reserve lending.

People that don't want the poor to suffer should help the poor. I think the best way to help poor countries is to introduce libertarian-style capitalism (as opposed to state-sponsored or fascist capitalism). The poor need contracts, safety, skills, literacy, communication, and industry; these will lift them up from poverty. Not community drills that don't scale, and lead to the poor staying poor.

It doesn't save me time if it requires me to register just to read an article.

Well, among other things -- the CPU in the Pi is ARMv6 with a hardware FPU.

Until the Pi came along, most people compiled either for ARMv6 with no FPU or for ARMv7, so at the beginning you had to compile your own packages if you wanted reasonable performance.

Also, the Pi limits power draw to something like 100 mA; if you just plugged in a USB Hard Drive it'd more than likely shut down the entire board (especially in rev1). So you'd need to put a powered hub in the middle...

Yes you can't ignore MS, especially when they still dominate the desktop and workstation market with their OS.

I was a sysadmin in the 90s, and other admins I knew loved the Microsoft offerings - having gui control panels to server services. Active directory and the like. It wasn't particularly innovative, but MS managed to put lipstick on a pig and managed to sell it, while cleverly locking down their ecosystem through their proprietry platform. For some the CLI and Linux is still a turnoff, and there isn't that much preventing people from putting lipstick on that particular pig - but you don't see that many offerings (arguably you could say that Apple server is kind of like that).

It seems to work now ...
When did the review process start covering that? Some things are only considered on appeal.
They are back on github now; they were indeed temporarily changed to return only

alert("WARNING: malicious javascript detected on this domain");

(or something similar). I saw this myself.
Broken down to bullets:

* Don't hire until you've had to endure the pain of doing the job well yourself. If you don't know how to do the job right, you don't know how to hire for it.

* Don't hire just to capture talent. You'll only end up alienating the talent.

* Stay as small as you can.

* The resume form makes everyone look good, which means it doesn't tell you anything useful.

* Cover letters on the other hand tell you lots, and, incidentally, also tell you how well people can write.

* Sometimes the best candidates distinguish themselves with effort. Their most recent designer hire made this mini-site while applying: http://jasonzimdars.com/svn/

* Questions are good, but beware people who ask too many "how do I...?" questions as opposed to "why...?" questions.

* Test drive if you can. They hired designers for 1-week projects at $1500 before extending FT offers.

* Be flexible about where you hire (they're all over the place), if you can.
When stuck for tools I once cut my brake cable with a pair of pliars. There are too many variables involved to make generalisations, but I've seen a lot of ingenious ways to cut cables, and that's without being a determined thief ;)
>My reading of 20th century tele-journalism

Quality may have gone down during the 1980s and later, but that's unrelated to the fact that we had advertising and classifieds and entertainment shows to offset the cost of journalism.
the corruption in Greece is big that even the smallest government run department is infected so the only way out for Greece is either to deal with corruption which I think is impossible the other way to default on the loans and declare bankruptcy and go back to a devalued the greek dragma around 500 drs to the euro which will help the tours men industry and maybe will stop importing everything from abroad and start producing I want to go in a store and see a label made in Greece!!!!!!!!!!!
thank
Yes, absolutely. As do ISPs. If I buy internet access, and use that access to read the NYT online, then my ISP is making a profit from the NYT's content without paying them. Ditto the companies that made my computers and all their components -- the NYT should sue them all!
I use IIS 7.5 for http, tcp, and message queue serving. It's fast and simple. If the last IIS you saw was 6, take another look. It can even host PHP and Python apps (we run trac in it) with fastcgi.
Personally, I think women who are concerned about your wealth and status (beyond "he's not a bum") are too shallow to worry about, anyway.
Hi guys, I did that demo mentioned above.
It's true that Flash is significantly faster. While ActionScript and JavaScript are almost on par in recent browser versions the main difference is the rendering performance. Here's a very good explanation (see the last paragraphs)

http://www.craftymind.com/guimark2

It's about retained vs. immediate mode rendering: Flash is frame-based, on each frame code is executed first, display changes are collected, then rendered. With JavaScript each change is rendered immediately which is less efficient, especially with multi-core CPUs.

As for the iPad, this demo here runs slowly cause the iPad is slow. ;-) Native apps run smoothly cause they're hardware-accelerated, but in the browser you notice the difference.

Fyi, did some comparisons a while ago,

It's a "hidden" feature because of the potential for abuse, and the fact that polls are generally uninteresting and low signal-to-noise. The expectation is that people who've been here for a while will know polls exist and be able to figure out how to make one, while new folks who haven't quite grasped the high signal-to-noise and very focused nature of the site won't know it's possible.
But that doesn't make a catchy press release.
Stack supports OpenID.
and if you're posting on a site called "hacker news", you are not a "hacker".

Even people who wrote an single excel script call themselves hackers here (and are defended for it! I've seen it happen)

EDIT: At this point in my life I'd be embarrassed to be called a hacker. So I don't feel ashamed being an impostor here.

The catch is, if you trim Apache down to do only what you need, the margin between it and Nginx becomes much smaller.

While this may possibly be true (and I'm not sure it is for high levels of concurrency), there's a reason why I don't build my own kernels from source anymore, don't run gentoo anymore, and use nginx everywhere I can. It saves valuable time.
There are still some things you can't do in HTML, eg. Google Pacman used Flash for sound because the HTML5 <audio> tag couldn't provide reliable timings. Google Wonder Wheel is in Flash (despite having had various HTML5 prototypes floating around) because FF/Linux's <canvas> performance is atrocious, and IE6-8 excanvas.js performance is borderline at best.
Maybe it is one of these systems http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment
Thanks for the detailed reply reuven. Very interesting to see your perspectives, and clarification.
Former (French) engineering student here: indeed we (at least in my school) started learning programming with C ! Matlab was also used, but in more specific courses (signal processing, control theory with Simulink...).

I mean, all software has bugs.

To me, the major difference between Apple's OS's and the Windows/Linux/Androids of the world is that Apple _fails smoother_.

A typical bug may result in an iOS app freezing and then quitting on the user. However frustrating this may be, Apple's "something went wrong" user experience is much better than the annoying pop-up alerts, blue-screens of death, and cryptic error messages of the other platforms.

These error messages are only relevant to a small, small subset of power-users, so why show them to everyone else? The other 99% of users are just going to quit and restart the application anyway (as we've been trained to do), so why not smoothly lead them down this path?
I'm youngish and can't remember having heard it recently at Roma St.

I know of one shopping centre in Logan that plays classical music at the entrances as the previous poster mentioned.
I found that level of pride & care to be case for taxi's all over Japan, though I never took a taxi in Tokyo where it could well be different.
They probably just couldn't go as deep on as many targets but were able to watch a lot from a relatively high level. Back then there was a lot less noise to filter through, too. Mobile devices weren't ubiquitous... traffic was mostly e-mail. When the FBI was using Carnivore, Jaz drives were still a thing. If you had a 56k modem you the lucky guy on your local bulletin board.

So in retrospect tools like Carnivore sound primitive... at the time it was a pretty sharp scalpel.

Room 641A and MySpace both launched in 2003. Facebook became popular between 2004 and 2008. There were a few others in there; but in general the government programs scale relative to the amount of data made available through the Internet. In 1996 there just wasn't that much.
