My knee-jerk reaction is that adware has infected your machine, particularly your browser. Or are you saying that the Google SERP is analogous to a start-page filled with ads?

I'm confused.
"They have to use an ARM CPU to get enough power to support Javascript, but ARM CPUs are cheap now."

Hum, I might but wrong but I don't think javascript code is actually executed on the chip. I haven't checked but the javascript is probably transpiled to something else (Lua ?) or a higher level binding to a library that calls function of a C firmware loaded on the chip. The node.js module johnny-five + the Firmata firmware gives your the later for Arduino.
With EasyJet I've always paid the advertised price, give or take a couple of £. As far as I'm aware they don't have any "first-time flyer" discount rates.

Since you posted about an hour ago, right now you will get mostly responses from HN'ers in Europe, Australia, etc... who will mostly sympathize with you.

Can't wait for the west coast to wake up, where you will get told it's your fault.

Long-term stress can deplete your body from some minerals and vitamins. Go to a doctor and check your levels of blood pressure, thyroid function, vitamin b and d, testosterone.

Try to work only 40h/week, and go talk to a cognitive behavior therapist, you might discover something about yourself you didn't know.
I have to agree, and even add: Never tell them first what you what want as payment. My method was always to say: Lets delay this unimportant money question. I'm a coder, I want to talk about coding, about your company culture, about your projects, about your testing environments, ... all those are much more important to me then salary.

And when they come out with a price tag finally I often tell: Well thats a nice salary for 20 hours per week work.

And guess what? I got 20 hours contracts this way 3 times.
I agree with his comments on HPKP. I looked in to adding HPKP headers to a couple of my sites, and figured out how to do it, but I'm nervous about enabling it. It seems far too easy to make a mistake and lock people out of being able to visit your site. The trouble is, if you make a mistake, they're not locked out until you get around to fixing it. They're locked out until the expiry date which you set in the HPKP headers, which could be months away.

We lack the proper tools to make this safe.
Learn programming fundamentals through TopCoder and HackerRank, which have programming puzzles and teach algorithm and data structure fundamentals

Then also get involved in an open-source project, just keep looking for interesting subjects and find one you like. Programming is more about managing projects, and it will give you something to put and talk about on your resume, and meet new people, and lead to jobs

My goodness, I was 17 when I was first introduced to programming, punched card FORTRAN "IV" on an IBM 1130 ^_^ (academic year 1977-8). Which I found to be very neat, but sufficiently frustrating that I went straight to my local college's library (the machine was hosted at the college).

In general, I agree with those who say that at this age he should play around with stuff he find interesting, and FOSS and Moore's Law makes that inexpensive. In the next summer wandering around the file system of a UNIX(TM) V6 computer for undergraduates went hand in hand with playing the Colossal Cave Adventure game. I learned enough UNIX(TM) from that, e.g. that system had a DECtape which started me on backups, which for some reason I find to be fascinating, to be employable when I was "dumped on the streets" in 1980....
Right, this should have been ISO8601 to remove any ambiguity. I just think it's surprising and offensive that:

1) People consider the American format to be the one and only legitimate format, and everything else is met with resistance
2) I am getting downvoted for stating this

It wouldn't surprise me if the OP is not an American, and they simply used the format native to them. Do we really consider this enough reason to start ridiculing it?
I suggest he start with creating his profile at odesk.com and freelancer.com . Initially, he needs to apply for smaller projects and at significantly lower prices than the other bidders. He can build a good portfolio and start moving to bigger and paying clients.

He could start with web development initially. It's the fastest way to get going. Then move to other subjects like algorithms, machine learning, Big data.

Ask him to build some stuff which can solve some real world problems that he faces in every day life. If other people also face such problems, they will pay to use his tools.

Good Luck
It is foolhardy to defend North Korea so the only option to argue is that America is bad too, but what you are arguing is the way of the world. If the US thought they could play NK against China they certainly would.
> Does anyone still use Facebook?

1.1 billion people.

Which makes you part of the majority on the planet that doesn't use it. Does that make you feel good or were you going for the hipster angle?
Maybe it'll lead to a hyperbolic chain reaction, destroying everything in a hundred mile radius. That fallout will linger in the environment for decades, from molehills to mountains, killing all living discussions or grossly mutating them into beastly overstatements.

It's a horrid picture.
I agree ( obviously) but as a side point it's my experience that these ( audio ) schools don't teach 'art'. They teach basic technical application. If individual students then want to apply what they learn to their (or someone else's) art that's their business. It's too subjective to do it any other way.
I`ve had the opportunity to use lua to program the state machine of a protocol and I must admit I was really blown away by the performance.
I'm going to dig deep here, and say that true flexibility in memory allocation would require multiple global implementations of new, and when an object is deleted it would be destroyed with an implementation of delete the corresponds with the implementation of new.

That would be a gigantic change to the language, which I'm sure I don't understand the implications of.

After thinking about this some more, I'm going to stand by my original, even if poorly argued, comment that C++ doesn't really live up to the promise of "precise control" when it comes to memory allocation, and this is one area that can have a big effect on performance. C++ has all the overhead of a low level language, with a promise of control that when you really need it is often difficult to access.
I only realized what was wrong with Gate's version of Microsoft few years before he retired. It was only then when I learned that Gate's has been the chief software architect of MS all these years.

Gate's is very intelligent guy, brilliant and ruthless businessman and knows software, but he is not software architect. When Ray Ozzie took over, things turned instantly better. Chief software architect is the guy who have to balance between the need to add features and general soundness of the system that translates into quality in long term. Gates clearly did not have that ability. MS products never had general feel of good design principles you get from many other software products.

I assume his point is, rather than being able to bring your choice of water or soda aboard the flight for $0.20, they've granted an oligopoly to the newstands and vendors of overpriced water and soda in the airports.
Henry G. Baker made the point well, already in 1992.

"The appearance of iterators [..] appears to be inversely related to the power of the language's intrinsic control structures."

Despite what everybody likes to think, politicians aren't idiots.

When somebody disagrees with me, I like to assume that they're not idiots and that the disagreement might be based on some legitimate point that I've missed.

The truth is that Bitcoin is an existential threat to the United States government. As long as it's some third tier crypto currency only used by nerds on the Internet, it doesn't matter. But the infrastructure is being laid to push it as a (the) new global currency.

If that happens, we will witness an economic revolution with no parallel in history. It will literally be raining cats and dogs in the street.

Practically overnight, the US will lose the ability to borrow in its own currency, forcing a quick tightening of monetary policy, further exacerbated by foreign governments dumping their dollar reserves. The dollar <-> XX exchange rate would approach zero. Anyone holding dollars would no longer be able to afford any foreign goods. Dollar inflation would be rampant. A recession or depression would quickly follow.

Anyone not holding bitcoin will become the new underclass, and the new rich will be those who got in early. Essentially, the new world order will basically be made up of lottery winners.

Pensions would become practically worthless, as they would need to be converted to the new currency to be spent.

Etc, etc.

That's why I don't have any money in bitcoin. It can't succeed. The current world order won't let it.
Do similar things only when there is nothing else really interesting ready to hand. So if I have an assignment due and have a total dislike for it, yes I will waste a lot of time reading various site like HN. But if I have something fun available, maybe only a few moments when I am taking a break.
What I would do if I where you would be to start writing a blog and then feed that into the HN community. That way you are forcing yourself to do something while still being able to read HN.

After a while someone will probably tell you that some of your ideas are great enough that you will build the necessary will power to get started.

Remember ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is king.
> I can't begin to describe how much I loathe seeing page upon page of apps

Did you miss Steve's memo : teh app store is not for discovery. You should only ever see ONE app, the ONE you already knew about and came to download.

/sarcasm
Oh yeah, sorry no offense to all parties involved, I tend to my you guys up ;)
Not so much (mind you I was on HN a lot by my standards yesterday, but I was off sick), although lately I've been going through my morning browsing and submitting the tabs I found interesting, which I've noticed tends to result in a minor surge in posts by me on the new page.
Really? I lived in the UK and I quite often take a shortcut through a playground when going for a walk near my parents place. It has never occurred to me that this might be a problem and I've never had so much as a nasty look for doing it. I'm male and apparently also an adult :)
So a problem with precision and judgment, but not integrity?
it's called "parents rights". It has been since forever. Sorry that not the whole worls lives in your utopian cultural marxist la-la-land.
I think it's a mixture of both. Getting web devs to dip their toes into mobile development and vice-versa. I really don't see a reason for someone not to pick-up something that will give the best(not-exactly) of both worlds..

Think of the potential if a single language can be used to build apps in multiple platforms - web, mobile, desktop(node-webkit).. I think the language that currently satisfies this is JS and React-native is yet another extension to it.

A bit off-topic, but it bothers me (positively). How in GitHub you can provide that kind of tag summary? Is it part of tag message? (There are even links, so I doubt it.)
The demand for ivory is the driver, the ban wouldn't be necessary if elephants weren't poached (and are being poached) to extinction.

> And did you let the browser choose the font? Don’t make me read such text with Times New Roman.

I don't understand this attitude. If you don't like Times New Roman, why don't you change your browser's default font?

What I don't like is when websites tell my browser to use a different font or different colors than the ones I configured.

(Off-topic, but something that really annoys me is websites that make text in <textarea> very dark grey without changing the background; as I configured a black background and white text)
From "http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/" which is one up the chain:

> A little less contrast

WHY. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS. To give this person credit they have at least chosen some sensible values, rather than gone with something that was just about enough on an expensive graphic designer high-contrast monitor and then not tested it on anything else. Leaving the rest of us squinting to try and read text or manually overriding CSS.

Despite not being a complete idiot, they have still made the content harder to read. Contrast is good. It makes things easier to read. Why would you want less? Yes I know the art theory stuff about never using black because it doesn't appear naturally. You know what else doesn't appear naturally? TEXT. Black on white is a perfectly acceptable default, please don't change it for your body text without a really good reason.

Wasn't the CIA heavily involved in Tibet too?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program

I'm not sure we can use one CIA scam as an excuse to claim another CIA scam is not a scam.

The average Chinese citizen is less free thanks to these covert/overt foreign interventions.

Are we okay with the idea of well funded Asian intelligence agencies creating, funding, and training terrorist organizations in the USA/UK?

Any reasonable person that has studied the CIAs history in Asia would want it shut down.
If you live isolated on an island I could understand, but if you want to use the public spaces like school, hospitals etc then we need to calculate the risks. If technically we could prove who spread a virus then we could give you the option to not vaccinate but if you cause someone else to get infected you pay , then you will actually have to calculate the external risks as it should, people would use the masks if they knew there is a small chance they could be accused and proven guilty of murder.
>My guess is that Microsoft has a secret new OS (written from scratch) that's super modern and efficient and they're just waiting for the market opportunity to finally ditch Windows and bring out that new thing. I doubt it'll ever happen though because for "new" stuff (where you have to write all your stuff from scratch all over again) everyone expects the OS to be free.

If you're using the App Engine Flexible editions, it's really easy to not worry about vendor lock in or really even deprecation much at all. E.g. it's easy to run a basic Node, Python or Java backend in App Engine Flexible, making use of a MySQL or Postgres DB in Cloud SQL, so you don't have to worry about managing servers at all and you get all the benefit of automatic scaling without the semi-nightmare of running your own kubernetes cluster. Then even if App Engine totally went away you just have a normal Node, Python or Java app running against a MySQL or Postgres DB that is pretty trivial to migrate to another platform.
It's not about whether or not it's foolish - the point is buying and setting up a subdomain, handing SEO, etc. is often more complex than some small business owners want to deal with.
Fair point, but is this not just a reason for sites to register their own URL shortener? e.g. if you shorten something from techcrunch or read write web it shortens to their domain rather than bit.ly etc. Alternative is to also use goo.gl for more stability
It takes a lot of energy to switch countries (barring something like the EU). By definition, most slackers aren't going to make the effort.

Besides that, Canada already has rules in place that deny full welfare benefits to recent immigrants.
yeah, lush (http://lush.sourceforge.net/) is a lot more interesting in the alternative-lisp space, but they too omit lexical scoping :(

Of course genes don’t code for homosexuality. Just look at the percentage of gay people in prison.
In what fantasy universe?

In reality, there are about 44 million documented immigrants in the United States. The number of undocumented immigrants is a fraction of that.
I have stumbled upon Redis a lot in really cool projects so I definitely need to take a deeper look into it.
In a couple billion years we'll be able to see it in much more detail ;-)
Not really. If the studio is HQed in California, and they paid a studio in Taiwan, they must declare that money. it is trivial to trace that and tax service accordingly.

What they do, is to "hire" those people as contractors just for that job, pay the upfront price of setting up a fake shop, and avoid all those service taxes.

Similar to you paying someone overseas for a work, versus your company having a research dept in india while HQ in Palo Alto. The upfront costs for the later are higher, but the return if you want to have the indian team larger than the US team will be better in the long run.
Your point still stands, but Singapore is far more western than Japan.

I agree that random collisions is an unlikely attack vector. However, there is not a general understanding that disclosing sha256 hashes is the same as disclosing the file. Imagine a social engineering attack that requested employees run a 'sha256sum ~/Documents/* > hashes.txt' and mail the results with the explanation that this is to make sure they have no infected documents/old versions/unauthorized files on their hard drives. Many people would be willing to do something like that if it appeared to be from a legitimate source, but if they had been asked to email all their documents they'd be much more unlikely to comply.

Hashes are also disclosed in other ways. In certain cases security researchers will reveal a hash of a file publicly to provide proof of a file that might contain a proof of concept exploit against a privately disclosed bug - with the idea that the contents of the file could be revealed at a later date. If someone the researcher shared that file with privately placed it on dropbox, that file could be revealed publicly.

Online AV systems could be another form of disclosure. Many "online scan" products report the hashes of local files back to the server for malware detection - it is faster to upload your hashes than download the hashes of the many millions of signatures a product can scan for.

Another version of this is virustotal.com or similar services that will scan a submitted file against a large number of AV products. The resultant scans include the sha256 hash and are often publicly accessible, while the contents of the file isn't. In the days after several recent Adobe flash 0-days, virustotal reports on infected documents were reported publicly days before the bug was fixed or the actual exploit was publicly revealed. Here is one such example for CVE-2011-0611 submitted on 4/9/2011, made public on 4/11/2011 but no patch was available until 4/15/2011: http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=1e677420d...

Granted, all of these presume that sensitive files are being placed on dropbox when they probably shouldn't be. But these things do happen.

As far as information disclosure, someone who has a legitimate copy of a file could then use the hash to determine if the file is being leaked off site or distributed inappropriately. This may be seen as a feature to some document owners, but it could serve to detect exfiltration that one might otherwise agree with. Whistle blowers come to mind. If you suspected a leak, one might provide slightly different copies of a sensitive document to a group of employees and see if any of the hashes appeared on dropbox after admonishing them to not allow the file to leave the enterprise.

I understand that many of these concerns could be dismissed with well, they already have bad document handling procedures, etc. Which would be valid, however in the real world a lot of poor behavior goes on. I'm just listing these as examples of the kind of problems that could arise, I'm not trying to take a stand on how likely any of the attacks might be.
I'd recommend the Qt framework. It makes writing C++ much less painful and you can style the interface via CSS. The Qt Creator IDE nice and you can use Xcode or Visual Studio. It also has a helpful and knowledgeable community.
So basically it's the old guy asking a "computer person" for help with something completely unrelated to both his job and his personal interests as an unpaid favor.
Sort of a tech school with a marketing culture. They have a tendency to define new words and get the coolest press.
It's strange we haven't heard more from users of the 0.07% of EBS volumes that were corrupted and unrecoverable during the outage. I just assumed there was no data loss as a result of the outage.
I installed Xcode 3.2.6 in default directory(/Developer). I downloaded example code http://examples.oreilly.com/0636920010180/ Download the example code again to start from the scrach.
For just one example, check "Allocating and Initializing Objects" in Chapter 1.
You said you build successfully with the base SDK missing? If you look at the frameworks on the left side 'Groups and Files' pane of Xcode, in which color do the frameworks look? Red? Black? You can't build successfully if they look red.

Right click on any of the frameworks in the Groups and Files pane of Xcode and choose 'Get Info'. Could you please tell me the full path?
I don't think so. I had my flickr account deleted without warning for posting pictures of Abu ghraib abuses, and they weren't the worst pictures either.
If you think that's wasteful - bad news, that's how governments work in general. A good example of the 4 ways to spend money: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RDMdc5r5z8

The way to get a good economy is to get rid of obstacles, not for the government to try to pick winners. Less red tape and lower taxes would be better.
Per the Wikipedia page it looks interesting, although I've been almost successful with the patch in the past, and know essentially what to expect. I had used the gum (the gratification wasn't quite instant enough) and the "e-cigarettes" (nicotine vaporizers) before with neither working for very long. I had also tried (ill-advisedly) Adderall, which is supposed to calm nicotine cravings for some. (It really only made me giddy and scatter-brained. A very fun drug that made me almost entirely useless.) Should my next attempt work out the same as my previous ones, I'll definitely look into Chantix.
TLDR: You are the luckiest, the answer is you.. the writer "Jeff Hayden" is lucky to have a great family, parents, kids, spouse and under similar circumstances you should also be the luckiest, so remind your family how lucky you are that they are in your life.
