Gratuitous backslashes are destroying our web sites.
I'd like to know how many problems the students expected to encounter verbatim or near-verbatim on the test.

Were they hoping to see a few identical or similar questions? That would seem to be the typical scenario when you're studying off old tests or, for that matter, the homework problem set. If any show up on the test, great. If a lot show up, you're lucky.

Or, did they think it likely that the studied material would make up half or more of the actual test?
I dont read reddit much so that concept has a much more positive association for me since it brings to mind Accelerado and the crazy economics 2.0 with its sentient corporations using humans as currency and crazy intelligent 419 scams.
I almost wish Coral-caching links was the default, given that making the frontpage can be a real bad thing for smaller sites.

Also, if the "portless" version doesn't work for anyone, I've experienced that adding :8080 and :8090 can have better luck. I am unaware of the difference between the two ports.
Considering that about 2 billion humans have a negative net wealth due to debt, this is not surprising. If you don't have any debt, you are already richer than the poorest 2 billion humans combined!

Preventing the cowardly, panicked response isn't the NSA's department. All they can do is try to prevent the attack.

Thought the exception handling code was going to catch the all-encompassing use of 'except:' but nope. Don't do that.
This yearly savings calculation (albeit an example) of $25k for Unspace is based solely on your assumption that one hour less commute time correlates to an additional work hour every day. While this may be sound for how to express added value, I find it unreasonable to believe that most people would work an extra hour simply because they live closer. Maybe I'm wrong.

In my case, I think what you can do is to let them know just how hardcore you are. If I tell my employer that I'll work on R&D and product development in my spare time at home, they can easily get a ballpark of additional hours worked and added value over Joe Schmoe. If I log an additional 10 hours a week from home after work hours, that could equate to an additional 25% hours over the standard 40. I understand alot of you may be putting in more than 40 hours, but that should also be part of your negotiation.
I've tried to write games in a pure FP style in Scheme, and, like Hague, found that the difficulty is in keeping track of state in a sane and efficient way.

I suspect that Haskell's monads are a solution. Can someone with Haskell experience attest to this?
That always seemed like the reason for the initially very limited storage on early Android handsets. The original iPhone was out with 3-15 gigs of storage for apps, while the G1 had around 100mb.
Surfing in the Bay Area is hard for a number of reasons: you need a car and a surfboard, the water is freezing cold (you need a thick wetsuit), Silicon Valley is inland and blocked off from the ocean by a mountain range, and the good waves are mostly for experts. That said, Cowell's in Santa Cruz is probably one of the best places in America outside of Hawaii for a beginner to learn. You can get there with a combination of train and bus and then rent a longboard for an afternoon. Pacifica isn't too bad for a beginner, either... but you'll need your own gear and a car.
Really you can't afford 2 computers? I can build a machine good enough for web-browsing for under $200. You need a monitor, sure, but people are giving away CRTs. I got a 19" 1600x1200@70Hz CRT for free last year.

edit This is with all new components in the box; it's even cheaper if you can get "hand-me-down" components, which should be easy for anyone on HN.
It varies from 10c to $20+ depending on the category

Apple is also in business to make money from the mobile ad pie (iAd), as is Microsoft and maybe others.
Any "HR type" who does their job well absolutely will know how to do a cost-of-living conversion, and should effectively screen and prepare candidates armed with that knowledge.

It goes both ways, of course; less-savvy candidates might not know what they're getting into, and can be offered what seems like a sizable salary bump only to discover after arrival that they're worse-off in total.
@elssar: Yes, my company actually pays based on what the developer is worth and pays the same amount for same work across the world.

>I personally would take it, just because I feel it's a better place to live and work.

This is what is vexing me. I feel the same but I know that my family would need to make some pretty big lifestyle changes if I were to move there.

Thanks for the Google's CFO base salary number. That puts the converter out of equation now.And thanks for your overall perspective too.

EDIT: The salaries in product companies in India have significantly gone up in the last year and a half with so many FIIs pouring in funds. So, I think $200K would only get 2 good developers at my experience level now.
Apart from the obvious bias having been written by a co-founder of a product studio, there are plenty of examples of product studios not working out. It's also a hugely saturated market now. Success stories (e.g. UsTwo) are very rare.
For anyone fascinated by this topic, the book I, Mammal[1] by Liam Drew is highly recommended. A whole chapter is dedicated to the importance of placenta in evolution of mammals, along with other chapters on other mammalian features like lactation, hair, locomotion, homeothermy etc.,

Dual licensing is fine, I simply omitted it from my suggestion because it didn't occur to me at the time.

As for third-party code included in a repo, I don't think their licenses should be shown prominently on any listing. It's the job of the project maintainer to ensure that all of the licenses for third-party libraries are compatible with the main license(s) for the project, and if possible, enumerate them somewhere in the tree. Most third-party libraries probably have their own GitHub repos anyway.
Distinctive – because we are focusing on delivering quality, innovation and most importantly a solution that is relevant for businesses today.

This sounds incredibly corporate. Like it's just the product of a vast marketing committee. I'm not sure what this service provides that Microsoft Office + Dropbox can do.
I'm not saying that with any scientific basis, but rather on the basis that a much larger percentage of the startup community seems to be active there than on other sites.

Often when you see someone ask about a random startup you'll get the startup's founder or an investor answering, something which you rarely see elsewhere.
Where does Apple do that??
"Though we fund all types of startups, we're especially interested in web/mobile applications." ~http://ycombinator.com/about.html

As more of a systems-y guy myself, I've noticed the trend a bit, but I've always chalked it up to the fact that web-centric startups are more accessible.
Exactly, it has been refined over millennia.
Depends on whether the intent was to instill fear on the population at large (fear of something).
>So the reinforced door is a response to a problem that no longer exists.

I very much disagree. Previously, an attacker could get to the cockpit by surprise and by suddenly overwhelming cabin crew. That is now much. much more difficult.
What language is simpler to setup?

1. Download tar.gz (or zip)
2. Extract to <place>
3. export GOROOT=<place>
4. export GOPATH=<some_other_place>

... if you want to get fancy and make sure all your binaries are automatically in your path

5. export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

... at this point setup is done, to build your first project using an external library

6. go get github.com/<user>/<library>
7. code, code, use <library>, zug, zug... save code in $GOPATH/src/<your_package>
8. go install <your_package>
9. $ <your_package> # runs it

this package can be shared because it is a static binary -- share with your friends, run on other servers, heck -- even cross-compile for other platforms with ease. Working on Linux -- but want to ship a utility to do X for a friend on Windows, no problem!
These doors can be unlocked using a secret regularly changing code. After this code is entered a buzzer will inform the pilot for 30s. Then the door opens.

The pilot can override the code by locking the door in which case it can only be opened from the cockpit for some minutes (5-20).

Assuming your attacker is easily identified prior to reaching the door.

I disagree on this one. Bruce Schneier, who writes often, and passionately, on the ridicelousness of "security theater", cites doors (along with your your statement that passengers must resist) as having improved safety to a measurable degree.

But there isn't, sadly, an absolutely fix for every vulnerability. We can reduce the number of incidents and mitigate the risk, but some will always remain. It is the price one pays for such extraordinary freedoms and luxuries.

From my admittedly limited perspective, it just NOW seems that Microsoft is really pushing for devs to meet up with real web development.

I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with MS devs who only know how to develop with web forms. They've never heard of grunt, node, MVC (the concept in general, let alone the option in .NET), SASS, NoSQL, RWD and the list goes on and on. It's like they've been living in a closet.

Not that they have to use ANY of those I listed -- but to KNOW such things exist!

For so long it seemed MS's mantra was "keep using only our stuff, its okay, don't look out the window at everything else going on". And so many that I've met just said "okay".

Now I feel there is a concerted effort from them to reverse that and really push education beyond the MS closet; it is very interesting to watch devs come out into the sun, blinking.

Again, just amongst the MS devs I've had the pleasure of working around, talking to online and off, at meetups and at jobs. But yes, only from my limited circle. Never meant to imply anything other than: I'm excited for MS devs and myself, as I'm actually wanting to dip my toe in the water as well and pick up .NET.

So nothing but excitement from me on it.
Look at Alaska. In physical reality, it nearly touches the eastern tip of Asia. And the Aleutians stretch all the way across. But to stay more in tune with the rest of the U.S., Alaska is almost entirely in the -9 timezone. So I guess the map is all about timezones, not where the sun is.

I don't see any other obvious mismatches with the physical Earth. Does anyone else?

EDIT: I suppose the gap between Greenland and Iceland is similar.

(Also, not that it's a major landmass, but Hawaii is missing. There's even space for it.)
I'm not disagreeing with you, and recall reading elsewhere about Kiva's deceptive practices, but could you back up that claim with some evidence, or at least a more detailed explanation?
The Linux man pages talk about it at a high level: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/numa.7.html

It would depend a great deal on exactly what kinds of problems you wanted to solve, I am sure. You wouldn't want to run just 1 instance of Postgres on it, for instance (as you point out); instead you would be more likely to do some form of sharding.

The Numalink 6 speeds don't seem to be defined, Numalink 5 was about 15GB/s , but when you are reading memory at up to 51GB/s, you certainly don't want to slow down and wait for another node to give you access to your data...

Mixins were introduced with Flavors by Howard Cannon in 1979. Flavors/Mixins were used to implement some of the early MIT Lisp Machine user interface, IO and networking code.

http://lispm.de/docs/Publications/Flavors/Flavors,%20a%20non...

'aspect advice' was mostly introduced in Lisp in 1966 by Warren Teitelman: http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6905 See the discussion of ADVISE and a BEFORE example in the paper...
From there it came to Interlisp, Maclisp, Flavors and CLOS...
It’s easy to prove "we don’t know that" since maybe it is possible to introspect our universe. For example, suppose someone interacts with some quantum system and it unexpectedly outputs a binary string. It turns out that this string can be interpreted as a command-line interface where one can access the states of individual particles and inspect the running process. Given the program code of our universe is reasonably short, we could possibly fully understand the system from within.
Pure functional transformations over immutable, persistent data structures like Clojure's are an absolutely no-brainer for this type of apps where you get data from a database system > transform > display like HTML, JSON, etc.

I encourage anyone used to an object oriented approach of doing this to give Clojure a try. I used to do this for years in an MVC setting - it's a huge effort for no benefit whatsoever.
I believe it will be because people have pride, so no-one will ask why English and not Farsi, Mandarin, Arabic, Swaheli, etc...
Anecdotally, I've been applying for jobs using Scala and Clojure in Australasia and Europe and the Scala jobs seem more numerous and far better paid
Canadian companies accepted?
I think your misrepresenting the data.

Absolutely nothing about the data collected related to different human populations just different types of tissue.

Further, I don't see anything that relates to % of biomass of the tissue just total cell divisions. Presumably the skin, lungs, a digestive track tissues are at high risks because they compromise a lot of tissue, it divides rapidly, and it's not protected from environmental factors ex: sunlight/smoking/spicy food. However, I suspect the paper digs into things a little further to account for such factors.
The type of complexity that bothers me is complexity that I have to wade through on a day-to-day basis when trying to find features that I do want to use. For example, lots of menus, each with tons of menu entries and submenus. That sort of complexity won't (or at least shouldn't...) impact performance in a meaningful way, but it exacts a psychological toll on me.

As you say, Vim's complexity is different. It has a lot of nonsense built in, but unless you go looking for it you will probably not become aware of it. It also can be complex to set up correctly like you mention, but that sort of complexity bothers me much less. That's more of a "once and done" thing, which I find much more tolerable.

My tolerance for configuring software is actually very nearly pegged at zero, unless I believe that the configuration I am creating will still be useful for at least 10 years. This rules out configuring just about anything for me, with very few exceptions. My current significant configurations are for vim (the emergence of neovim gives me some concern) and zsh (aliases and basic keybindings only. I am confident that any shell I'll be using in the future will allow aliases). My window manager, browsers, etc all use their default configurations (I got burned by Awesome WM changing their configuration scheme a few years ago).

Configuring Eclipse to be tolerable is probably possible, but I have zero confidence that any such configuration could last even two or three years.
In China's context, real potential trouble makers indicate they are backed by some high level officials(if not the top ones). The more power they have, the more difficult to pull them out. What you said is correct in a more tolerant system, however, China is closer the other end. If interested, you could get some ideas by looking at Chinese media channel control system.
Some people decided to spend their christmas gaming with other people. That is a valid wish and an enjoyable group activity. And they were obviously "ruined".

How would you feel if you went to an amusement park with your family and found it is closed, because a group of kids spent the night destroying things?

If I'm not mistaken, the technical issue is that "I'm doing" is in the Present Progressive tense/aspect (an ongoing event in the present), which doesn't match having the past date there. "I've been doing" is in the Present Perfect Progressive tense/aspect (an event beginning in the past, but continuing into the ongoing present).
It's not on top of a large US city. They're tethered at Aberdeen Proving Ground which is ~35 miles from downtown Baltimore and ~70 miles from downtown Washington, DC.
Chinese Gmail user here. Now the easiest way to access Gmail is via Mailbox. No kidding. It works on my android phone and Macbook, and should do as well on iPhone. The first time of use requires a proxy, but afterwards it is okay without any. My guess is email information is partially saved on Dropbox servers by Mailbox. I don't know for how long Mailbox would continue to work though. when it doesn't work, I will have to use a SSH tunnel every time checking emails.
They had the same chance to try, and fail, like everyone else has in a free country.

You're right everyone has the same chance to try and fail, but not everyone has the same chance to try and succeed.

Some people get the deluxe starter kit, and some people get a blank sheet of paper. You can turn both into a billion dollar business, but one's a lot easier than the other.
The story in question didn't include anyone losing their job. You're arguing against a point I have not made.
And so what do you define as being "right"?

(playing Devil's Advocate here btw)
Whether they were demonized or not would require some studies as I mentioned in the last sentences of my previous post. Who demonized them? How much of the population demonized them? How strongly did people feel towards them? And how did these sentiments compare with people prior to Teddy Roosevelt?

Without answering those questions we can't rightly draw any conclusions about people's attitude towards the self-made man.
Honestly, i didn't of the temp part. Ignorance on my part.

New question.
So, could there a be mechanism to skip temp altogether?

Also, with chrome plugin to view document attachment straightaway in Google Docs, will it do the same thing? That will make the trivial, nonetheless, slightly convenient.

Server-side data loss always sucks, but this would be much harder to recover from with a non-distributed VCS. Another win for the D.
I can't think of a single hiking map I've ever seen that didn't label rivers, no matter how "obvious" they were.

To me, "terrain map" means "physical map". If the "terrain" maps are intended for hikers, Google should instead label them as "hiking" maps. But I doubt that they are intended purely as "hiking" maps... none of the trails near my house are on them.
I plan on offering both a product and a service related to it. After reading a little, a LLC seems like the best option for me. The articles of organization only run for $125 in my state, and it doesn't appear I need to fill anything else out other than that.
But it's not actually a shell.

In a solid sphere there is always force, and it always points to, and is lowest, at the center.
I'm pretty sure that's covered by his (2).
Would any other measure than a FISA warrant allow for a search of an apartment without notifying the owner and/or tenants?
I'm getting off topic, but this quote brings to mind Dijkstra's remark that "our intellectual powers are rather geared to master static relations and that our powers to visualize processes evolving in time are relatively poorly developed."

Does anyone know whether this has indeed been shown to be true?
The practices we had our issues w/ were an imaging clinic and a pediatrician. I kinda expect that telling either one of them that we didn't have insurance would have resulted in them refusing to take us as patients. My wife and I talked about trying it with the prospective next provider, actually.
Could the prekeys be exchanged in one synchronous session directly between the peers to enable future async messages? Is there a need to store them outside either end-point?
Nope, s/he is replying to the HN responses in general ("And as you see from all these post, No sign, signal or movement of appreciation what so ever.").

The overall responses didn't strike me as overly negative; most of the people saying "this isn't a good idea" are suggesting other ways the nginx devs could build a for-profit business around it...
Not sure, but it might be turning into an IDE. They've got a good part of it in place. Something like FP Complete: https://www.fpcomplete.com/
I thought this did work if you put it in your "library". It at least seems to do so with the books I purchased through the humble bundle.
"Product Definition" benefits everybody in the marketplace

No, it really doesn't: it commoditises the product, which tends to drive down margins. Vendors love lockin and lack of clarity. It benefits the customers. It tends not to happen unless it's enforced in some way. Food is a good example of this: what are you buying when you buy an "organic apple"?
That's always the way Tesla has quoted charging rates -- much more meaningful than kilowatts.
Agreed. Also, if rumors are to be trusted, there will be a new release of Silverlight: http://www.zdnet.com/a-new-year-a-new-microsoft-roadmap-step...

I think people are overreacting to the fact that Microsoft improved support for HTML5+JS in Win8 apps, WP8, etc, and are assuming they will let all other technologies die. Even if true, how long of a death it will be?

People have also assumed Flash is completely dead as of _now_ since HTML5+JS is getting increased attention. Then putting Silverlight in the same position and calling it a day. IMHO, these technologies will stay with us for a while.
Except for systemd-nspawn[0] systemd is utter mess not because the concept is broken ( it is not, it is actually really clever ) but because its main driver/developer despises his users when they do not agree with his decisions as one can clearly see by looking at the Github issues.

[0] I have a strong suspicion that systemd-nspawn is not a mess because it does exactly one thing - sets up cgroups and namespaces to run a container and runs a container.
What a poorly edited article. Two typos in one sentence. No space after the previous sentence and a missing "of".

"Google has become a target antitrust complaints in the last year..."

I realize I may sound like an ass, but I find that very distracting. My eyes are drawn to typos and it takes me out of the flow.
