He's even using Google Checkout. I'm surprised Google puts up with this.
The culture at Google is probably also driven by the fact that it's such an academic environment (in addition to the fact that there's a lot of pro-engineer sentiment). Facebook has an engineer-driven culture and it's apparently an awesome environment for programmers but according to Paul Buchheit (who has worked at both places) it feels a lot more like dorm room hacker culture and is totally different from Google.

He talks more about company culture here:

The source code of fslint commands is really impressive, it is just a very long and clever pipe.

Absolutely. His Zen of Code Optimization is also a great book.

This is extremely false. How did you get this idea?

Do you have any evidence that this takes place?

Your proposal would make it more difficult to follow conversations in comments.
Agreed. You have a 30-35 year career: so put this in that perspective. 2 years is not that much of a deal in the longer run. Are you not having fun with your startup? If you are having fun learning, coding, and meeting other entrepreneurs then your outlook will be more positive.

IMO, perspective is everything: focus on the positives. You are 30 and you are half way through to achieving what most people cannot achieve in a lifetime. The times when I feel most sad/depressed is when I am working long hours for 7 days a week. So when I take a break and come back after having some fun, suddenly everything looks positive and encouraging:-)
Integrating those systems directly into Fossil seems like a poor design decision. Everyone has different requirements and it directs focus away from the core responsibility of a VCS. Do one thing well and all that good stuff.

There is not remotely enough vaccine to handle a smallpox attack.

The author of that is massively confused. First, the Unix copyrights ARE going to Attachmate, since Novell is not selling the copyrights and Novell is becoming a subsidiary of Attachmate.

Second, the article says Attachmate is selling patents to a Microsoft backed consortium. It is Novell that is selling the patents, before they become a subsidiary of Attachmate.
Not mobile web. Native mobile apps.

Mobile web will also be important soon too though.

I know you think popup ads are so 90s and don’t work, but
the success of these ad networks speaks to the contrary.
For certain segments of the population(IE users)

Is that that supposed to be: "i.e., users" or is it really "Internet Explorer users?" Because, as it stands, either one seems plausible to me.

(In before: "it should be 'e.g.'")
"a Port of Seattle terminal was evacuated because a couple of dogs gave a false alarm for explosives"

That doesn't sound like living in terror, that sounds like good sense. IIRC dogs are pretty reliable (false alarms are rare) and one terminal isn't the whole airport.
Death is an evolved trait. It's an advantage for most organisms because it ensures a steady turnover of populations which enables micro and macro evolution at a reasonable pace in response to environmental, climate, et al changes.
tele-transportation is just years away!
Delphi had, by far, the best documentation that I've ever encountered. Every Win API method was documented, explained and illustrated with an example. Delphi 4 manual was so much easier to follow than Microsoft's own Win16/32 API help in VS C++ (which I actually used more back then).
If you want useful feedback from HN users, you should probably translate it into English and make a new submission. Having explanations in Portuguese is probably good for Portuguese speakers who want to learn programming, but most HN users are the exact opposite of that.

Just based on the parts I could understand:

- The editor interface is the only part in English instead of Portuguese, which is weird.

- The "Run" button is in the top right, but the results are printed in the console at the bottom left. Someone who doesn't know what to expect might not notice any change at all. (The red arrow doesn't disappear either.)

- After running the example, maybe even changing the fruit names... now what? There's no obvious way to continue with the next lesson.

- I suggest finding a bunch of people in your target demographic, asking them what they'd be looking for in a programming course, ask them to go to your website, watch them look around a bit and then ask whether they'd sign up and why. If you need to give them additional information, that information should be on the landing page. If there's a part that nobody paid attention to, that probably shouldn't be on the landing page.

- You mention building a community, but there's no visible sign of people talking on the website. You might want to make the community visible for reading by anyone (so people can find your site via that community) and charge for access to the course materials or even let anyone access it and charge when someone needs a human teacher to help them.
I see websockets as the endpoint for trying to fix two problems in HTTP 1.0 that has been simmering for over two decades.

For all of the stateless goodness that HTTP is, in order to have user-specific content, you need to know who you're talking to. The hack to fix this was cookies. Instead of using a traditional stateful protocol (which could have kept track of the logged in user), we had a stateless protocol where the user basically had to present credentials with each request (also, HTTP-AUTH).

The second issue was so problematic that it made it into HTTP 1.1 two years later. Because a stateless protocol was used, if you wanted to download say, a document and a linked image in the document, in HTTP 1.0, you needed to make two requests. Back when each web page was predominantly text with few graphics, this was okay. When we moved to more graphical (albeit table-based) layouts, this was horrible. So, HTTP 1.1 ushered in Connection: keep-alive to allow for the same connection to be used for multiple requests. You still had to make individual requests, but at least you didn't have the overhead of setting up multiple TCP connections.

HTTP isn't fundamentally broken, but it is a kludge. The most painful parts of HTTP were also the most "stateless" aspects. I agree I don't understand why HTML over Websockets is a (big) thing. It doesn't make much sense to me either. Then again, I was also doing dynamic updates (with javascript pulling in HTML, not XML) before A List Apart (hello again) coined the term AJAX.

But let's not just say that HTTP is a perfect stateless protocol. It isn't. It was never "designed this way" -- it was patched up with quick fixes during the late 90's that we've been stuck with ever since. Websockets is the latest attempt to fix this problem. HTTP/2 and /3 don't really do anything to address maintaining session state, but focus on making individual request more efficient (roughly). That still leaves us with the problem of Cookies. Websockets have their own issues (scaling for one), but adopting the approach mentioned in the article doesn't mean that you have to completely abandon the rest of HTTP. But, if I could avoid having every website yelling at me about using cookies, I'd happily adopt a Websocket architecture, if that's what it took.
I so totally agree with not requiring college credentialling. And though I write code for a living, I respect the work of my auto mechanic father-in-law and any custodian more than much white-collar stuff that doesn’t add visible value. You ask me what I do for work, I say what I do doesn’t count as work. Socially, the snobbery of the keyboard-and-phone class towards people who actually work really grates.

But forbidding unnecessary credentials by law? Hard to see. I think it’s more an issue of devaluation of a degree and the lowered standards of earlier education. More, not completely.
> NAT became a poor-man's firewall and effectively blocked peer-to-peer connections making it difficult to host a server at home.

Most ISPs (with the exception of very small ones) until recently assign one public IP address per customer and NAT is done on home router. With this setup it is not hard to host a server at home - it is just one rule on router to NAT all incoming connections to that server. Many SOHO routers support such setup. Alternatively, the server can just work as a router.

> This incentivized early ISPs to offer only asymmetric connections that pushed users towards a consumer-only service that crippled early Internet protocols.

Asymmetric connections are offered because many last-mile technologies (like ADSL and cable modem) are asymmetric on link-level - they use different bandwidth allocations for upstream and downstream.
Even the highly educated in India go around temples and follow all superstitious beliefs. My parents quote examples of Indian scientists at NASA and their superstitious beliefs to make me believe in religion and the super powers. Their reasoning being there are smart people at NASA who follow the astrological calendar when it comes to events at their homes. So, I doubt education alone makes a person better. Character building and rational thinking is whole another ball game where Indian education falls short.
Beware scale-free arguments.

Email me at my username @gmail and we can talk :)
sadly, if the author would have done some research and seen some interview he would have known that.
I strongly disagree, but I respect that we're on the same side here, so I'll very carefully consider your logic. But in return, I'd ask you to carefully consider my argument, which is that we need to know the current damage right now far more than we need allies in the Senate IC in the future.
My friend used to say 'never do a job which could be done by a one line Perl script'.
It seems that "the terrorists" just don't have careful leadership. With good leadership, average people can do amazing things, like hijack four planes at the same time and crash three of them into buildings.

The leaders have to be willing to die with their minions, not just see them off. The hardest thing about being an evil mastermind is that your minions start screwing things up the moment you turn your back (or get outside the blast radius.)
I can see there being issues with this, but that is something I would love - so I could bundle up some videos to watch on my tube ride home.
Start consulting on the evenings or weekends. Even if it's just setting up Shopify stores or making someone a portfolio site.

If you don't have any leads, skip Craigslist and Rent-a-Coder and start going to tech/business meetups, asking friends and family if they know anyone who needs anything, and talking to random strangers at the bar. I've gotten ridiculously profitable clients at the bar.

Oh, and never do anything for free. In fact, always get a deposit, even if it's for a friend.
When you interview with multiple people at one company, and they all answer that question the same way, does that indicate to you a canned response, or a credibility to the quoted reason?
I don't know, I used to be really into them, but I find myself actually enjoying the games more when they don't have them. It could just be the games I play have rather tedious achievements, I suppose.
Well, of course I'll be there.

Let's hope for some great weather.
In fact some books are good(+) and others are terrible(-).
I recently have read a few O'Reilly books on iPhone programming.

+ Head First iPhone Development: The authors' penetrating and clear explanation is the reason why we pay for a book where there are very good and free documents. Fairly good book and I have recommended this book to all of my friends.

- Learning iPhone Programming: Terrible. The author is fairly incompetent. He should have read Head First iPhone Development not to mention Apple's document in the first place.

- iOS 4 Programming Cookbook: The most terrible book that I have ever read. The author is not even accustomed to C besides Objective-C. Who says procedure in C? Some explanation is completely wrong. Vandad also deleted the readers' errata. I have seen many erratas submitted and removed silently. Even if the errata was wrong this should never ever happen because other readers can also misunderstand that point.

If O'Reilly have ever have a decent technical reviewers in mobile programming, they should have these books reviewed by them before these books published to the world.

Finally O'Reilly should know that nowadays nobody refers to reviews in the oreilly.com. Many of the reviews are fake and blindly friendly.

I hope to see much better ("worth the money") books from O'Reilly in the future.
Looking forward to it. (In the meantime, I'm trying to delete my event.)
People generally, especially in younger generations need to accept that the internet != the real world.

I’ve had a number of friends on both sides of the isle fall into the internet trap of politics, existential dread and dilution. A few to the extent of developing serious mental health problems, even college educated people.

It’s scary to watch this happen to people you know and love. Some might label me, but I enjoy not wasting time following the mainstream media / social media noise.
Many of my relatives seem to have no interests or hobbies. I mean sure, they watch TV and movies, but it's not like they are deeply interested in them, they serve more as pastimes. They don't have anything they are actually passionate about.
If twitter is bad now, imagine the horror if the silent 99 start speaking up. 1% is more than enough.
> not much FANG here apart from maybe Lindon or Berlin

Zürich and Munich as well.
The same problem exists for Uber/Lyft and food delivery services.
Honestly, I'm not surprised - the most valuable thing most of these applications do is produce lucrative information that big budget marketers would love to sink their meathooks into.

There is nothing wrong with this business model per say, but doing it without the express consent with your users is wrong and making it personally identifiable is wrong.
any experiences? how well is it documented?
I plan to buy it as well. 99$ is very little compared to the development time you might have doing it yourself.
Why does it need to be a vertical stack? Why not stagger the floors, so they all get natural light from above, like the leaves of a plant sticking out from their stem?
You took the words right of my mouth... I also don't drink, but my main gripe is that I'm joining a team, not a family. I have other obligations and relationships that need to fit into my already limited non-work time.
Yeah. I have since went out of my way to develop some new hobbies that have nothing to do with my work. I used to program a lot because it was fun (and I still do for fun every so often) but after doing it for work for many years, I often feel like its sucked much of the fun out. I can usually still enjoy working on stuff that's very different from the day to day (eg tinkering with 3D graphics), but I don't have quite the same level of drive and enthusiasm I once had.

So I picked up sleight of hand card tricks a few years ago as something to do that had nothing to do with computers and last year I started to learn to play the guitar. I have no intention of ever trying to monetize either of these hobbies. They're purely for fun, to relax.

I have other hobbies too, but too many revolve around computers or tech and after a long day in front of the screen, its good to get away and do something completely different.
Investors don't think so: stock price is twice what it was 5 years ago.
How could that possibly work? The API endpoint of a malicious modified server could just return whatever the API endpoint of the non-malicious non-modified server returns.
I had a site like this before. I simplified it further by not having a navbar on each page. Every page would share a css stylesheet and have a single link to the homepage. The homepage would have links to all the pages. No templates needed.
Bad mistake you get a metric fuck ton of shit in your data that way.

You should always police your input data properly one big text field is lazy programming that leads to a big technical debt later on.

And yes that does mean handling apostrophes and all those other edge cases properly.
Do you have an account there? I would love to get an invite if so, that site looks really cool.
Because if he's making a below-market salary as it sounds like, he could be doing better. With a higher salary, he could have more savings, more security, more easily afford a family or the things he wants, donate more to charity, spend more on personal hobbies, etc. Money has many uses.

And I could ask you the same question: the startup founders and oil industry would live comfortably enough if they made a little less and paid him better; why is that not enough? Why should they be making more?
This is a weak argument. It's like saying we should avoid concurrency because it's harder to debug. Lambdas are a step forward and nothing short than that. I've been working with Java8 professionally for about 8 months and have trained about 5 teams on the new tooling. I've never seen anyone raise debugging their code as a reason to use an anonymous object instead of a lambda.
>edit: Seems like Apple was the one to declare PSL as canonical.

Dependency on the Public Suffix List is already baked into essentially 100% of the global browser market for purposes like control of setting cookies - I'm not sure Apple made it any more 'canonical' by depending on it here.
You missed 2 of the 6 warnings.

Don't use the “magic” CouchRest features (try to stick to #get, #put, etc.)

Try to keep your CouchDB as close as possible to your app servers. (Again, should go without saying but you'd be surprised…)
On both of my XPSs I can switch to internal or external mic regardless of a headset behind plugged in, so the snarky suggestion to use a cut-off headphone jack is misguided and won't work on many modern laptops.
This comment is very far from the mark: it would be closer to the truth to say the article is mostly complaining about lack of tools to help ameliorate problems caused by the architecture.

The author clearly likes Postgres and ends the piece by saying he expects all the problems he talks about to be solved in time.
Your comment is bordering on fatalism.
I know Ted Nelson personally. He invented the word hypertext. I'd say inventing that word proves him the father of hypertext, though Tim was the midwife.
If you look at the link below, you’ll see that the 70% figure comes from a study of repeated sex over time (with self-reported condom usage), and so can’t be applied to the figures for a single sex act. Preventing semen from coming in contact with the vagina/anus will reduce transmission risk to effectively zero, and condoms don’t break all that often.

Correct condom use will make you as an individual much safer. But as a public health strategy, telling people to use condoms has a significant but limited effect.

None of those citations indicate engineering of the virus. Am I missing something?

> Why not Math as a religion

Math is indeed a religion deep down, at least according to people like Hume, you have to "believe" in things like induction, you have to "believe" that natural numbers "don't end at some point" (for lack of a better word) or that two parallel lines don't finally meet, because who's there to watch them till the end of the world to say that they don't in fact meet? (Hume writes it down way better than I could ever do).

Reassuring news! A hope for some normalcy coming with ongoing vaccinations.
The convention I have started using is “outside in” meaning first the margin, then the border, then the padding, etc. It’s not perfect because a lot of stuff is “in” (font family, text color, etc.) but it at least gives a rough directionality to things.
There's still plenty of variance in anabolic usages between competitors. There are IFBB pros taking 1/10 the dosages of others; see people like Jared Feather vs. Bostin Loyd.

And general sentiments about steroid use have changed significantly in the past few years. As a casual reader of /r/steroids, even 2-3 years ago there was way more enthusiasm towards larger blast doses in that community. Now the environment is far more conservative (though still reckless IMHO), both in dosage and compound choice. If you would have said that that community was well-informed just 3 years ago, it's hard to square that with the fact that the opinions have changed so dramatically.
They didn't have to be banned. They were banned unnecessarily, hindering the development of fabric tech.
Yup. I wrote a Microsoft Java book that was published by Morgan Kaufman right before the legal problems. Too bad, I had some neat stuff in the book.
Honest question: is there an exhaustive list of natural rights?

The only ones I know about are related to the Declaration of Independence and I don’t have any evidence they are comprehensive.

I don’t have any evidence to believe of a conscious higher power, so my list of natural rights is likely to differ from people who do.
Most people don't need a full size car for city commuting, but many don't want to bike for valid (and not so valid) reasons. Why not split the diffrence and go all in on small lightweight NEVs (neighborhood electric vehicles). Their smaller size, low 25mph top speed and limited range make them less resource intensive than regular cars but still give people a car-like driving experience.
My point is...you're not over with Corona until your population is immune...so you're speaking too soon.

Going to be interesting to see what happens with quarantine free travel and an immunologically naieve population and shutdowns.
Isn't it because people flagged it? They aren't required to provide a reason.

Usually these get taken down because there is nothing new to say about them.
I'm told by one of the FOSDEM PGDAY conference organizers: "I believe they won't be". Sorry about that. The slides are going to be available on http://tapoueh.org/ and http://pgloader.io/ though.
