The only thing that happened to her was that her email (multiple similarly worded emails, in fact) was posted publicly. If that's all it takes to ruin her career than maybe she shouldn't have written the email the way she did.
And Europe as a whole tends to buy groceries every other day, so I'd suspect stores aren't prepared to provide for any degree of bulk buying. Maybe it'll catch on more after this debacle - grocery stores are generally running fine in the US besides toilet paper and the odd other thing being sold out sometimes.
Setup it up at the most basic level. Use this customer as a beta for it. Make it awesome for them, expand, plan to release for more corporate accounts after you feel like you are ready.
Sure. Especially in OOP code i'd say it's not uncommon to fill the data into an object and then validate the whole object in one go.
You might not check again if "role" is still the same, because you wouldn't expect that the user can have any influence on it.
I see there bindings for MySQL and PostgreSQL on the list. When does it make sense to use a traditional (i.e., not distributed) database with Erlang? It seems like that would be a major hurdle for scaling.
What level of skill did you have in Web Dev before you started freelancing(to freelancers in general)?
"grep <pattern> <files>" is not the same as "cat <files> | grep <pattern>", in that the former will prefix lines with filenames if there is more than one input file. What you want instead is "grep -h <pattern> <files>".

The advantage of using cat, therefore, is the few seconds of laziness saved in not reading the manual.
> It may even biological.

Ah yes , the most base argument to absolve oneself of responsibility.

It's a good thing you don't have that big brain and act on base instincts alone, because that argument would be pretty silly otherwise.
Yeah, my college counselors basically said "if you don't click this box the college will disregard your letters of rec."
Fascinating reading for those interested in how the world has changed in a mere 150 years. In school we learn the grand sweep of history. In distinction this article is a window into the ordinary and the mundane.
It's not necessarily _just_ about dealing with stagnation. It's also about finding a way for people to start contributing to open source. If you've never released anything, just patching someone else's work is a great way to start. This automates the selection process so you don't necessarily have to look around for something that needs help.
That's not the experience I had in Barcelona. My friend wasn't feeling well and we tried to take a cab back to the hotel which was roughly a mile away, which apparently is too short for cab drivers to make much money. The guy at the head of the cab line refused to take us, and the second guy told us we had to take the first cab, and after arguing with the first driver he finally angrily took us, speeding around every corner and screeching his tires starting from every stop. When we got to the hotel and I started to dig out coins to pay, he yelled at us to get out of the cab and sped away without taking the money.

Worst cab experience of my life. I would have loved to have Uber available.
I wrote a driver interface once, and JNA was the only sane way of accessing native code I found.
I asked myself the same question, seeking for ressources on the web and help on irc and i concluded that unfortunately the f# community is mainly a windows community. Mono is quite a niche.
Someone could do this for regular laptop hookups eventually. e.g. Every morning at the office, I connect a power cable, monitor cables and a mouse.
To add to what bluGill commented, there is "Signed English" which is word for word translation, there is ASL (or other signed languages), and there is a spectrum in between!

And there can be disagreements in the Deaf community about, for lack of a better word, 'purity' of the language. Is it 'okay' to just sign English words with English grammar? Is there an ethical or moral imperative to maintain ASL as a language and not just a translation of another language? And then you have one person telling another person that there's something wrong with how they communicate their native language! Language overlapping with culture overlapping with disability (or different-ability?) overlapping with people being people.

There's no easy answers. But it's fascinating.
> Americans seem to be in the minority for eating salad before meals

Nope, it's like that in most (all?) places in Europe I've visited too (certainly in restaurants).
It's non-obvious how to get past the first page: http://interactive.nautil.us/inter_11/
If it's any consolation, Erdős himself said in one famous lecture that the "God" part is irrelevant: "You don't have to believe in God, but you should believe in The Book."
In many states that is illegal
That is an interesting question... Not sure what the answer would be. But I'm pretty sure they are still under federal law, just not individual states. So probably personal manufacturing fine, for sale (even on the res) would require an FFL.
Population continues to grow, and there are many Americans who don't own guns who represent a big market. Many have purchased their first in the past year. And yes, lots of people like collecting a shooting a wide variety of guns. Most of then do it for reasons other than or in addition to prepping. The new firearms market is not going to die; the idea that it will is fudd nonsense.
Ok, fair point. But how large is the list? I'd love to see it.

Also, keep in mind, blockchain is in its infancy. I expect things to change dramatically. We'll see a lot of regulations in the future and I believe Bitcoin will be the driving force to shift industries to use green energy.
And those laws have no effect on what should be whitelisted and what shouldn't. Let's not argue for the sake of arguing. The aim is to not debate but move the discussion forward. I don't see that happening.
Yep. People don’t pay for search anymore. They haven’t since Google took over the world a decade and a half ago. That’s not to say free is the best option, but people don’t want to pay when there’s a free solution that works just as well.
Oh, the answer is simple:
Kyrgyzstan - no gas, no oil, no metals - no reason
to worry.
In fact the story is very complex here, and I am suspecting that was not Bakiev's deeds, but somebody else...
I see how that might be constructed as a negative, but IMO it's too early to tell whether that's a genuine setback to the project.

"Protecting his baby" might be a very wise decision at this point, if only because of how the reception generally goes; pigeonholing the project into something like "an AR coding environment" or "visual programming with projectors" is a very real risk that could damage the project's aims - even "clones" such as https://paperprograms.org/ make it abundantly clear that they are not attempting to be an "opensource Dynamicland".

It's only been 3 years since it was founded. While that might be generally considered an eternity in tech-time, I feel it's barely enough to get one's feet wet given the scale of the project, which seems to aim to be decades long. Besides, the roadmap they've got on their website mentions 2022 as the year they go public - so, I personally am stoked for what that will bring.

That was Bret Victor's characterization of being confined to a screen, not mine.
i will leave if i HAVE to go to office more than 1 day a week.
Skruv's html lib evolved from how I used hyperapp v0 and v1 a couple of years ago. It seems from what I can tell that hyperscript, hyperapps `h` function and skruv's `h` function follow similar ideas and signatures and I got my inspiration from hyperapp which I guess got at least some inspiration from mithril.

One thing I like about exporting multiple tag names is that it (to me at least) makes it more readable. When I switched over my last team from JSX to JS (that was in hyperapp v1) they did not like writing `h('div')` but were fine with `div()` so I put that together and over time it grew on me. I also kinda like being able to see what elements are used based on the import at the top of the file, but that's secondary.

Skruv still exposes a `h` function that is used for web-components, like `h('my-component')` and you can use it for all HTML elements or for JSX. The rest are just for readability and convinience (and are really just curried versions of `h`).

As for SVG I mostly do that by tracking if a parent was a SVG element and if so I assume all children are SVG namespaced (again, inspiration taken from hyperapp) until I hit a foreginObject element which means to switch out of the SVG namespace. If you have better ideas or feedback on that I'd be happy to listen.

Thank you for taking a look and I'd love to hear any other thoughts you have!
Can you set a breakpoint in CLJS code within your editor? Can you instrument a CLJS function, call it and do step-by-step debugging like in CIDER or Cursive for clojure?
I'm still waiting for the inevitable shitstorm that'll ensue when someone "innovates" a Relationship Management platform that is effectively a Shunning-as-a-Service (Read: Online Presence Surveillance and Data Broker interface) offering and suddenly discovers they've re-invented corporate organized blacklisting, which has been illegal for years. Yes, technically only for employment purposes, but the practice is generally abhored wherever it rears it's ugly head outside of that that comes down to just defending yourself from bad actors, where bad actors is defined as "Those seeking to cause direct harm for financial or other gain." Things that aren't just able to be chocked up to "having a controversial viewpoint".

I really wish people would wake up to the fact that right now, computing is still in its "enumerative innovation" phase where the computer will get thrown at every human problem under the sun to see what sticks, or what causes complete outrage and cannot be allowed.
You can try to arbitrage on an unregulated exchange, but then you're assuming the greater risk of getting Goxxed.

There are plenty of examples in financial markets where lower risk is correlated with lower returns, and this may be another.
There are some great places to find internships and individuals should not assume that just because someone calls something a common application that it is a gateway into all, most or even more than a few startups.

If you are an intern looking for an internship in the Washington, DC startup or tech community area you should join one of many startup discussions in the area and tell people you are looking.

If you are a programmer this means you should be announcing yourself in the programmer user groups - think DCRUG (Ruby on Rails) or BMore On Rails (Ruby on Rails) or NoVARUG (Ruby on Rails), DC Python (Python), etc. Most of these are on Meetup.org. There are also some great general discussion areas like DC Tech and Baltimore Tech on Facebook. Another great group to check out is Refresh DC - this is more web agency and web development and design oriented. Refresh Baltimore is similar.

In addition, there are a ton of great places to find out what is happening in the Washington area as well as to find out about startup and tech jobs and internships in the area. Craigslist has some great stuff. SocialMatchbox.com has some great stuff. DCTechEvents.com has some great stuff. BaltimoreTechEvents.com has some great stuff. There is also a Hacker News Meetup in DC - a great bunch of people are involved in it. Baltimore has a similar group that meets up called the Hacker Stroll, they go to a lot of different events together and have a monthly happy hour.

There are tons of great tech and startup companies in the Washington, DC area. The community is growing and very diverse. There are a ton of things going on and so many different people trying to come up with ways to organize all of it that it is hard to keep track of it all. No one website has all the answers or all the people so don't miss out on that.
Good info, thanks.

It's important to note that the above use of "anonymous" is laughable in context.

In order for that uploaded data to be useful by Apple, it needs to maintain both the lat/long and wi-fi access point ethernet addresses & signal strengths. This is pretty much a globally-unique identifier.
Would you like to pick one for us? I can't think of an appropriate synonym.
We wrote the showoff client in Ruby. It's a light wrapper around SSH that helps manage accounts, SSH keys, &c.

Since Showoff is basically a fancy SSH tunnel, it should work with any kind of webserver. If there's enough interest, we'll probably bundle up client software in ways that don't depend on `gem install`.
Good point about the HTTP/HTTPS we will get that clarified on the website.
Hiring people listing themselves on what appears to be a beginners'/tutorial site? Not sure of the targeting there.
If they're doing it at least they have to hide it from congress since it would be illegal unlike in the UK.
Considering just how much Bitcoin the Winklevoss twins own, it is in their best interests to do right by Bitcoin holders and create a secure and accountable exchange. Historically every bad thing that has happened to Bitcoin mostly indirectly has affected its price which from an existing investment perspective obviously sucks, but is great for new buyers to get into the market.

I have no doubt if they can pull this off that it'll be a successful venture, especially after the horrible year of 2014 which saw tonnes of cryptocoin exchanges (including Mt. Gox) get hacked and disappear, driving down the price each time. They have a bit of competition in the space, I think overcoming the regulation issues and having actual proper accountability will help bolster the credibility of the exchange.
ok , my mother the art teacher prefers the one on the LEFT.. Im perplexed .. Im still holding to the one on the right .. visual appeal !
I agree completely with it resonating. I saw it less as get shit done and more of just a perfect example of how things work in the real world. The model mentioned in the article is great, but it means shit when you bring it into the real world and find a huge list of problems like graycat mentioned.

As others mentioned, such a great comment. Thanks for sharing graycat.
Interesting.

"Functional examples for software that lacks good functional examples" sounds super valuable for a portfolio also they create tangible value for people who need them. Your dropwizard example at https://github.com/exratione/scala-dropwizard-guice-example is a perfect example.

Thank you for your feedback.
Sigh. As far as I can tell ninja is primarily used as a cmake backend. Mostly because the people who wrote cmake never learned to write Makefiles and as a result using ninja with cmake is much faster.
To paraphrase SMBC, if you had Superman generate cheap energy by turning a handle, it would solve actually quite a few of our problems. It would not make for compelling reading, however.

I don't know if Lego are actually leaving money on the table since much of their business is tied to their constructed image and reputation as being wholesome.
> total comp you are looking for as a part of your own plan for your life.

I very recently learned a damned hard lesson in this. I believed in the product, I was given interesting problems to solve, there were good benefits, there was a good culture, I had stock options. The pay was shit, the options evaporated during a merger, and I want to buy a home.

Next round, I'm getting paid my worth and it's going to remote. "Believing in the product" is just a load of bullshit that C-suite spin to enrich themselves. They believe in nothing but their own bottom line, so why shouldn't you? Figure out what you are worth, what working conditions (overtime etc.) you can tolerate, and do good work for good money.

I can attribute most developing world to economy. Once you have enough money, everything changes.
Yes. See the sibling comment about Merkle trees.
We actually have McDonald's and Max on the list and there's a whole bunch of people who eat there very often.
Well, the US is also an outlier in its own right.
that wsb is gone. maybe it'll come back after the dust settles.

it isn't all bad though - old timers migrated to a myriad of other subreddits where quality content is more popular. it may take a while to get back to late 2020 level of memes, though.
The issue with shady exchanges, they all seem to have the issue of collapsing overnight. So even if not playing by the rules will raise the prices, that might be counteracted by the major risk of you losing everything on the exchange. Or having everything seized by some gov't.

There's a reason they're called pyramid schemes
A wholehearted +1 for both Phototopia and Anchorhead - these are both excellent examples of IF. It should be noted that Photopia is much easier and shorter, being more of a slightly interactive short story (but what a story!) Anchorhead is much tougher to play through, though very rewarding.
I’ve been programming professionally for 20 years too.. What I’ve learned is there’s no end to the “architects”, “mentors”, “coaches”, “team leaders” and “know it alls” who want to condescend and tell me how to do my job.

20 years of programming has taught me to avoid working with people who take themselves so seriously and think they’ve figured it all out. 20 years has taught me the importance of compromise, give-and-take, and following as much as leading. It’s also taught me that there are people who’ve only been doing this for half as long that are 10 times better.
> But that's not true in the case of a bank account. Its insured. And often times you dont even get to see that the bank lost money, because of how banks are structured internally. And even if the bank can't insure it's the government can just print more money (and frequently does, without substantially impacting the value of the currencily). So me robbing your bank account isn't immoral, by your logic.

The fact that my money gets replaced by someone who has agreed to do so (the bank, the insurer, whoever) doesn't mean it wasn't stolen. The very fact that someone had to reimburse or replace it is proof that it was stolen. That reimbursement couldn't happen otherwise.

Perhaps you could argue that it was stolen from the bank and not from me, sure. But it was still stolen.

Compare to copying. If you share an idea or reveal a shoe design, and then I copy you, have you been deprived of that idea or design? No. It's still in your possession, which it never left, not even for a moment. Nobody needs to reimburse you by giving you another copy of that idea to replace the one you lost, because you never lost it.

> At some point you need to admit that reducing the potential value of someone else's work or property or depriving them of a livelihood in some fashion is some sort of theft.

Reducing the potential value of someone else's work or property is literally the very essence of competition in a capitalistic system lol.

And this is what I predicted your argument would boil down to in the very end. You can't build a case that there was any actual theft of an idea. The best you can do is argue that original worker should be entitled to an exclusive right to profit from that idea. That concept has a name, and it's called copyright, not theft.

> Otherwise you're just begging people to produce a series of trivial and obvious examples showing these kinds of obvious contradictions.

You haven't shown any contradictions. For some reason you just aren't grokking the concept of rivalrous vs nonrivalrous goods.
That shouldn’t be necessary though, better regulation of a limited resource is preferable to no regulation.
But it no longer works fine. If there is money or power in something, it will inevitably get corrupted if it can be centralized or captured.
Plumbed with waveguide
It's amazing that .org avoided some powerful group injecting themselves as rent seekers even this long. It's a pity we've decided to run society this way generally.
Thank you for pointing that out. My mistake, sorry about that - I should have checked there before replying to your original comment.

Interestingly, it looks like he doesn't censor/hadn't censored the couple of comments mentioning the breach on that page.

His article on the breach/hack was published in Oct. But his Nord VPN review was published/updated the month prior (from your waybackmachine link). So a month later.

It's plausible to me that he just never got around to updating the original post/review. But apparently your comment prompted him to do so.

However, he hasn't bothered to jump in this thread and comment that was the case. So although I think RestorePrivacy is still a useful site, perhaps a larger grain of salt is needed.

> However, you might want to consider using the pronoun "I" or "we" instead of "he", because astroturfing is not a transparent thing to do

Not Sven and not astroturfing. Merely suggesting what I thought was a decent privacy resource - in a related topic's thread.

Delicious predates all the social media hype and is probably better thought of as "Web 2.0" application. Basically, it's Flickr for URLs. It's just a dead simple way of saving and tagging URLs. The social aspect is more of an ancillary benefit, the idea being that when you get millions of people organizing links by tag, some interesting structures start to emerge...e.g. you can generate something like a tag cloud for the entire web.

If the above analysis sounds dated, that's because it is. Conceptually, Delicious is really an app straight out of 2006. But like Flickr, it's one of the handful that's worth having around in more or less original form.

The key to grokking Delicious btw is that it's not for "bookmarks" like the ones you probably have on your Bookmark Bar in Chrome right now. It's for articles or links of interest that you might want to reference later. Presumably there are other services that do or claim to do this better, but I have yet to find one that's stripped down to the same level of usefulness as Delicious.
Make that $400 or more. If say $50 of the current cost of $300 a barrel is for oil or derivatives, and oil triples in price, the costs increase to $450 a barrel.
That's true. That is a reason I do not allow sending out mass emails from the main mail servers IP address. You never know who will be trigger happy.

If for some reason bulk mailing providers do not suit you it cheaper to have a separate machine/IP address for sending such emails than having to deal with important emails not coming through because somebody blacklisted your IP address although he subscribed to the mailing list.
Yeah, they're not all that. Unless they've got realultimatepower, that is.
Not everyone owns a copy of Word these days
Build and ship code. Get feedback, build and ship code. Rinse and repeat until something sticks.

Any time spent reviewing your idea and building even a one page "Business Model Canvas" is time wasted. Most likely the idea you initially had will not be the one that ends up working out for yea.

I feel like this article is a list of best practices for pretending to be an entrepreneur.

I like this as an alternative, "You've got an idea for a startup, now what? JUST DO IT!"
You're right, but I think cycomanic has a point. Why do you even have to fill out the 1040? Why isn't there a default option where you can review tax forms that have already been filled out with the the information the IRS has already received?
I wonder how much that Hoover cost brand new (adjusted for inflation, of course).

I've always had the narrative in my head that appliances have become flimsy and have shorter lives because people tend to buy whatever is the lowest price. A race to the bottom on prices means a drop in quality.
If your serious take on this is "If you don't invest in Bitcoin, you deserve to be poor", then I honestly don't see a single reason to listen to what you think in regards to economics...
