Have you tried to cut coffee and take tea instead? Cutting alcohol in the week may also help you sleeping better. Doing a small jogging also helps losing some energy and can facilitate sleep.

Concerning your point, from your comment it seems like you are still young. At some point, you'll have to find a more sustainable pace. Most engineers I know have a family to support, like to do their job well, and thus need to have an overall good life hygiene.
FWIW, C++ does force some things on you, such as automatically typedefing structs instead of giving you a separate namespace, not warning about multiple declarations with different arguments (because function overloading is a feature), not warning about multiple definitions in different compilation units (linker just picks one, assumes they are equivalent), having to cast assignment of void* to a typed pointer (ugly and redundant), slower compilation, and generally later errors/warnings (thus usually more cryptic and less useful, although it does stricter type checking in some ways, so this point is not completely clear-cut).
The point is to install it, watch Jimbo Wales appear at the top of porn and lolcats sites, giggle, then uninstall it five minutes later. It serves this purpose fairly well, although there are a few issues with web pages which use absolutely-positioned elements located on top of the donation banner.
Isn't it a little strange selling a company for $212M that is essentially just reselling EC2 with a better UI? Maybe it's just me..
I have no idea why, but I'm not obsessed with getting rich.

I AM obsessed with doing whatever the hell I want to do, which I've basically been able to do for most of my twenties.

Hell, I've been dead broke and still been able to do whatever I want to do.

Don't worry about money. It's a silly thing to fret over. You think you need it to travel, to eat nice food, to be comfortable... but the most traveling I've ever done was while I was the most broke... and I got to see the world while playing music!

When I have had my most steady, high paying incomes, I've been content, but not really feeling all that free.

See, you can worry about money, and then work really hard to get it, and be around other people who want to work really hard for money... but... people who only care about working hard for money are ridiculously boring.

They are so boring, in fact, that they have to use their money to buy things and pay for interesting people to spice up their lives.

Whereas the people who are more interested in just living life typically have pretty interesting friends who do, and most importantly, make interesting things. Gourmet dinner potlucks! Hanging out at a friend's art studio! Touring with a friend's band!

How do you get friends like that? You have to do and make interesting things as well!

I hope everyone actually does take offense to this: When I hear someone say they want to be filthy rich, I hear it as them saying they want to be a boring douche bag.
I don't know what this startup is, but one option for startups to get started with payments is http://chargify.com , their api is pretty solid and they are good with support and are focused recurring payment processing. Only issue is you still need a payment gateway such as Braintree, Authorize.NET, etc.
The real story: Wordpress makes its users look dishonest.

The author upgraded to paid WP account, to remove the affiliate code.
me too, I have always pronounced is: post..ear..ous
How do you weigh the benefit of not killing unaware people against the benefit of not killing people? At least banana loaders know they're in some danger, and have probably analyzed the cost of that against the benefit of a larger pay.
Troll. The kiss is not censored.

The message is that the sight of two men kissing is a bad thing, and that homophobia is a good thing. For allowing Apple to send that message, Steve Jobs should be ashamed of himself.

Sorry, but I entirely despise soapbox-authors like this.
If you are getting stuck with number 3, the best thing I've found is to just start coding the problem in isolation. You are probably trying to jump from zero to the most elegant solution. Solve the simplest case first, in the simplest way possible. Throw all your OOD/Design Pattern/Best Practices knowledge out the window, and just solve the simplest case. From there, solve the next case, and the next one, eventually you will start to see the pattern, and the correct abstraction. From there, you can derive the elegant solution that fits all cases.

That is the problem with most solutions you find printed in books or on the web. They only show the problem and the fully refactored solution. Refactored solutions, even when fully explained, are just another form of obfuscation. Behind every tough problem, there are notebooks and whiteboards and hundreds/thousands of lines of discarded code that you never see. That is where the magic happens. You just have to do the work, you have to make your own ah-ha! moment.

This process is a lot easier if you use a language that has a REPL - like python, ruby, or the various lisp dialects. It is easier to work through problems this way, regardless of what your final target language may be.
Although that may be true, all of these features, with the exception of WebM, are in a RELEASED version of Firefox (3.6), and WebM is also already in the developer prerelease (nightly builds) of Firefox 4 (the next version).

Just had to http://xkcd.com/386/ this one.
Given that there is no frontal nudity in any of the panels shown, and many of the censored scenes have no nudity whatsoever, could you further explain your case that this censorship is "about no-nudity"? You can see more explicit nudity than this in most daily papers, or heck, walking down the street during a pride parade.
So you're saying the issue isn't with the php it is with all interpreted languages? Then compile your php before upload.

>A common PHP vulnerability is just the user uploading a php file and then accessing it.

A common PHP vulnerability is allowing uploads to a folder where code is allowed to be executed. That isn't a fault with the language but with lazy developers and admins.
You’re missing the point. It’s about containerization.

To quote a Docker cofounder:

> If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn't have needed to created Docker. That's how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing. A standardized system interface was the missing link. Let's hope WASI is up to the task!

Straw man argument is made of straw. I'm speaking of word of mouth from informed, trusted friends, not what I heard from those who have an agenda have to say on fox news.
> It's not necessarily a superset of useful or life enhancing; e.g. an alcoholic and alcohol.

Sure it is. "Want" is a superset in that it contains useful/life enhancing things as well as other things that are not that.

> The best case for an Ad vendor is if they can convert you into a productoholic, trigger your desire, and then satiate it. "ad mortem", as it were.

The best case for an ad vendor is to maximize profit from you while minimizing negative outcomes to themselves in doing so. Whether that is maximizing profit over the short term or a longer term, and whether some methods produce more negative outcomes for them (such as public displeasure and possible resulting legislation) is really their decision to make, but I don't think a model as simplistic as what you proposed really covers the reality of the situation. I'm sure mine isn't all that much better though.
Most Python programmers switching to Perl an assuming it works the same way is probably true though :P
That sounds about right - the 85 kWh battery of the Tesla would then get you about 240 miles range.

Another interesting way of looking at this then, is that the amount of power required to power s single 100 Watt Light bulb for 3 1/2 hours could move an entire Tesla + person inside 1 mile. Wowsa.
tig[1] is another really nice tool to check the diff while on the working branch. It shows things like what branch different remotes are on and a nice tree of what has happened on the source tree (merges, pull requests, etc.)

I'm with you on this as well. I attempt to make small localized changes, thus `git diff` usually suffices. However if I forget to commit often, or end up doing a big refactor, I will use SourceTree to aid in inspecting the diff. Additionally, I find staging hunks much more intuitive via a GUI than the command line.
I know the Constituion forbids it, but I think cruel and unusual punishment is A-OK when it comes to bike thieves.
Any idea how many employees Wufoo has? And how many are engineers/designers?
Yes, and I wish I'd used my real name here instead. My old AOL screenname really doesn't seem to fit with Hacker News. I try to comment as if it were my real name though.
This question gets asked time and time again (a few times a week on HN), and really, the only valid answer is "Try both & stick with the one you like best".

There are a plethora of right languages & frameworks. Try both & stick with the one you like best.
Those are two companies that are chained to the desktop, which for better or worse Google is trying to subplant. Since they already have video and voice chat/online storage solutions, they just be buying users which seems like a poor businees move.
Compared to just a couple of years ago, Apple is investing noticeably less in this year's WWDC. There are fewer sessions overall, fewer "evangelists" to introduce sessions and take questions, and fewer services for attendees. They aren't even providing discs with software anymore. Aside from the number of attendees, it seems very sparse in other respects.

I don't know why that is — could it be that Apple just doesn't have much that's new to present at this time, and/or that many of the engineers are occupied at the moment?

This is my hope, because neglecting to build and maintain a strong developer community would be a grave mistake that I hope Apple's executives aren't actually stupid enough to make.
Code is a little crufty, from 2006-07. But we are fixing stuff, hopefully others will join in.

Some features (Solr Search, Chat, Resume Conversion/Indexing) on the demo-site aren't turned on yet.

If anyone needs help with the code, email me jeswinpk(agilehead.com)
Dropbox is just incredibly well done. I tried using services like xdrive, strongspace, idisk and a few others over the years and they all felt so cumbersome that they never stuck. Dropbox by comparison seems to sync incredibly fast, has a sensible way for dealing with conflicts, and just seems to hit a sweet spot of simplicity and functionality.
I created a 800x600px transparent png, then uploaded that as my background image. Sucks that its necessary but seriously, this is bs.
Goatse security? Really? Finds security holes? Someone is having some fun here.

Edit: oh the humanity I looked at their logo.
If you have already owned your .org, have used it in publicity materials, use it for all of your emails etc. then yes you are pretty much stuck with that domain no matter how much they jack up the price. So the domain is inelastic, that is a change in price will not significantly change demand for those who already own them.
Publishing vulnerability details without informing the vendor is irresponsible.
Were there lots of pre-ordered, or are they just launching slowly? The fact that pre-order customers can not invite friends immediately, who do not need hardware, suggests it is about limiting users to avoid overloading servers/support/ops.
You've not been looking down then. I used to play "Human or Canine" while walking from the train to my office in Miami. I like to think I got pretty good at telling the difference after a while.
I had a lady send me a zip file that contained a VPN client, certificate and a word document with usernames and passwords to the VPN and a number of industrial control systems at the factory she was a manager of.

She sent it religiously, every 90 days.
So is this designed to mine / crowd source “organic” user data in reading habits and trends for people who can’t keep up with the speed of slack, or store articles and reminders to read them on their own?
Hold on, what evidence do you have that Lomborg ever held that first position? I've run into interviews with him since forever and remember his position has having been very consistent: climate change is real but not an existential threat and we should be more rational in prioritizing our responses to it. Or something like that.
http://www.driverside.com -- just what you describe, but not mainstream enough as I just found out about it the other day.
Something I'm not clear on: isn't HTTPS a stateful protocol (unlike HTTP)? If so, won't that have scalability implications? I assumed that was the reason most retail sites make you shop in HTTP, and then switch over to HTTPS for the payment step.
Never used Haskell, so if are Haskell-ian soul trapping sirens I am not aware of, ignore this dumb post.

1. There are languages out there you have not used.

2. Get rid of biases and give second chances to the ones that you have.

3. Maybe you are right. You'll never be able to get off Haskell. Stop complaining, and go do something else. Math, art, biology, business, some of that shit is pretty fucking interesting.

"Il faut aller voir"
Missed it and the original "Middle ground" post the first time round in 2007, so thanks for this.
> in future it will also be for 3/4G cellular, and for anyone else who implements their standards when that's available

Did Apple say at anytime that it will be available over 3G or that the standard will be open?
I mean, unless you're a newbie to the internet, how is this possible?
I'm not sure the permission index would be very useful.

Most iPhone chat apps for example work perfectly fine with zero permissions granted yet provide the option to send pictures, invite contacts, use mic/camera, send gps location, etc if a user is so inclined. With a permissions index, you would likely end up with the majority of apps listing all permissions and users would simply ignore it.
The worst "accidental glob" is Windows Powershell, where square-brackets in filenames means you can't pipe from "ls" into other cmdlets because it interprets the square-brackets as filter commands even when they read them from the filesystem itself.
Glorified ASMR. Is one of these two people advising Gwyneth Paltrow yet?
It is harsh but I stand by it. Take a look at mashable.com and maybe you will understand my aggression.
MITM'd == not passive, so can inject malicious js.
NotPetya had ties to Russian intelligence, and WannaCry had ties to North Korea. Not saying this is a state actor, just pointing out ransomware is just another tool for them.
I realize that you are just making a snarky dig, but probably never. It would be a huge amount of work just to backport basic security fixes, and almost impossible to backport large architectural changes that are made in the service of security. Are you going to backport multiprocess Firefox once that is working?

It is much easier to flip a preference. If you wanted to get sophisticated, you could create an addon that disables all of the preferences you dislike.
His conclusion :

> In the years to come, industry experts expect low-level coding and programming jobs to become obsolete with the development of new tools that remove the need to code completely.

Me wondering how much of it shall we see.
It wasn’t my quote. I was pointing out the flawed reasoning of the person who did quote.
I think a far more robust solution would be spreading our species into multiple planets/solar systems, which are far enough that there is little incentive to compete with each other. (Think a generation ship kind of concept). These civilisations communicate with each other, but specifically treat each other as test beds for their technology. So if plant A invents technology X, it will send a message to B saying: "I invented such and such, and will let you know in 50 years on how it went". B will then not adopt that technology until it hears back about how it worked out for A.
I work for a FAANG and none of my colleagues have relocated. It doesn't seem like anyone is moving far enough that management would seem unreasonable to ask them to come in on a daily basis.
It only shows the probability of observing either that statistic, or something even more extreme, under the null distribution. The implication that we can then "reject the null hypothesis" is more parlance and heuristic than anything.
Why Clubhouse doesn’t have a simple toggle to turn your profile private?
That just seems like an even greater nightmare to me. Soon you would have to learn to read and understand a custom program in a Turing-complete language for each and every installation.

The proper solution is a DSL, just a better DSl. Or perhaps a DSL embedded in something like dhall <https://dhall-lang.org/>, but definitely not a general-purpose programming language.
Conjecture, both patterns you outline are the same phenomena, and stem from Pascal being a wonderful Algol canvas to create new languages from.

That Pascal was the LLVM of its day but with an added benefit that because of its simplicity, it could spread as a pure idea, being able to implement from a single mind, means that it would be used as the basis for language and system design.

The only way it could be more useful is if Wirth had spec'd a stable s-expr syntax as well.
This is great! I like the minimalist design. Bookmarked!
Very useful for spreadsheets and other financial calculations as well I believe, as well as some forms of custom Crypto.
Eropple,

Funny that you cite las Casas as a historical document, when it is well known that his writings were exaggerations

As someone who lives in a city with a population of approximately 100,000 in the greater metro area - Launceston, Tasmania - I'd like to take a moment to reflect on your comment.

Google Maps tells me Manhattan to JFK Airport is a 32 kilometre taxi ride and takes three hours, plus it takes two hours to clear security at the airport.

I'm a little astounded by those numbers. Five hours to get from the couch at home to the airport. Astounding. I'm through the airport and in Melbourne city in under 2 hours.

I would definitely pay $100 to reduce that. I think $100 helicopter flights is something I would do with friends just to get a drink across town occasionally. How novel!
// works well enough:

{
currentFloor: 0,

init: function(elevators, floors) {
var elevator = elevators[0]; // Let's use the first elevator
elevator.on("idle", function() {
// The elevator is idle, so let's go to all the floors (or did we forget one?)
var nextFloor;
do nextFloor = Math.round(Math.random() * 2); while (nextFloor == this.currentFloor);
elevator.goToFloor(this.currentFloor = nextFloor);
});
},
update: function(dt, elevators, floors) {
// We normally don't need to do anything here
},
vendor: 'Sirius Cybernetics Corporation'
}
I wonder how much more efficient you could be, if people didn't just call for going up/down, but their destination floor.
>The dirty secret of "recovery" work --- forensics, attribution, &c --- is that it's driven largely by legal compliance concerns, and probably doesn't have a great intrinsic ROI.

This is true of a lot of security work. Maybe even most of it.
Also Chinese here, GFW is really a shame for us.
Being Mortal - Atul Gawande. Really surprisingly good book if you are interested in aging, healthcare, etc.
"it took another 200 years to detect parallax"

However, the aberration of starlight was detected in the early 1700s. Although no one had thought to predict its appearance, people quickly realized it only made sense if the Earth was in motion, and was impossible to produce in a geocentric model.

(And, of course, heliocentric elliptical orbits of Kepler explained planetary motion much better than any geocentric system.)
I may be missing the question, so let me know if I do, but the point here is just that the crypto system is asymmetric. There's three kinds of keys, public, private and evaluation (as usual you can derive the others from the private key). Whoever has the public key can encrypt, whoever has the private key can decrypt and evaluation may or may not need the evaluation keys depending on what you're computing. As for which ML models it works for, they theoretical answer is all of them, because you can do arbitrary computation. The practical answer is that currently models of this complexity are probably the best you can do, because everything else would take years to run. It's being worked on though, both in theory land and in the implementation.
I hear you, but that's an argument that the person that the "working class" voted in has been ineffectual in bringing about the change they are looking for (debatable). That's not an argument that they are not decisive in shaping politics. If electing Trump is a referendum on "the elite" then his election proves the opposite, no?

Does anyone know a 25 mg oral dose of pure psilocybin compares to typical grams of dried mushrooms people eat ?
Delaware has invested heavily into its courts, to be attractive as a corporate domicile, on features other than lowest taxes paid to Delaware itself. You set up in Delaware to avoid paying taxes everywhere else. That's why non-havens hate tax havens; the havens are stealing milk from their herds.

Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, et al. make it easy to set up shell companies. Multiple layers of corporate veils make it easier to evade taxation, if the business is so inclined. But it's also easier to legally avoid taxation, which is the goal of the next-generation tax haven.

The deal is that you pay some taxes to Delaware, as the unavoidable ones, and then use its business-friendly jurisdiction to set up a network of sub-companies that can more easily slide through all the loopholes in all the rest of the world's tax laws. So the Delaware company owns the Irish company, and the Dutch company, and the Bermuda company, and the Singapore company, and the Cyprus company, and it can optimize the on-paper accounting so the money generates the least tax possible whenever it moves in the direction of the owners. If someone goes after a mook company, it can be cut loose and replaced, but if someone goes after the mastermind company, they have to do it in Delaware's courts.

The tax haven version 1.0 relied on banking secrecy to hide financial information from taxation authorities, so they wouldn't know what to tax. Tax haven version 2.0 is about playing those taxation authorities against each other, so that all their weaknesses (relative to the other authorities) are attacked at once, and laws are only broken or ignored outside of the jurisdictions in which they are enforceable. The information is not kept secret, but it is managed so that the only entity that can see the whole picture has no particular reason to pry too deeply or to leak it to anyone else.
With emacs it feels like I can do almost anything.
Do you enter your PIN at a parking meter? I’ve never seen one that wasn’t contactless. You’d have to spending a hell of a lot on parking to have to use your PIN!
>he sees that open source programs can use Qt for free and that commercial programs need to pay.

Where does it say that? Can you mention what he is having trouble with? I just took a quick glance at that link in GP and it seems to spell out the obligations of the LGPL pretty clearly on the right side, which are somewhat specific and notably don't include a requirement for your program to be open source. That requirement is only for the GPL components, which is included in the small print on the left.
Roughly 20% of those infected required hospitalization.
I am referring to both styles of "bounce". Would be nice to have the former to implement "pull to refresh"
