A "Hello World" PHP site is nowhere near the complexity of a web web application. More importantly, when you start cutting corners by avoiding those steps (As so many PHP developers seem to do) the complexity gets worse.
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Set it as my new homepage.
Maybe it's just me but I don't have any sympathy for these guys. I actually think The Social Network did more to sway my opinion of them than of Zuck.

What's the difference in $ value that they're trying to get? And is the difference between that and the money they originally settled on really worth the damage to their personal brand? They can't possibly be winning in the court of public opinion either right?
I've found some of the lecture slides/pdfs on this public s3 bucket directory, but I cant view all the files in it, even after I put the bucket name into my aws console. https://spark-public.s3.amazonaws.com/startup/

anyone have a list of files in this bucket?
This piece primarily discusses fiction or memoir, but some of my favorite book reviews are the longform reviews of nonfiction in outlets like The New Yorker or The New York Review of Books, sometimes grouping a couple books on a topic, distilling and often augmenting the primary books under discussion with additional sources.
> They are probably operating under the assumption that it’s harder to fake three government documents than it is to fake one.

While there are government documents in all three categories, none of the categories requires government documents. Or documents which have much verification behind them.
MySQL is the database. Couldn't see an email on your profile link; you can reach me at russ [at] trendero.com, or let me know where to find your email address. Thanks for your reply, by the way.
The problem: Nigeria is a corrupt third world country. It has nothing to do with capitalism.

Hah. On an internet filled with naive, uninformed assertions, this is a true standout. Virtually every defining moment in the history of that unfortunate country can be traced back to the meddling of Western capitalists looking to make a buck. It starts with slavery and ends with oil, with a healthy dose of British colonialism in the middle. Their dysfunctional system of government, permanent underclass, environmental destruction--it has _everything_ to do with capitalism. Put down the Milton Friedman koolaid and dig deeper.
There are a few around here. Did you check out Startup Weekend in April? That's where I got started on my current startup.
BioWare Austin is still hiring local Drupal/PHP developers to help build the game/web integration for Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO.

We've had something of a hard time finding people, so we're considering training up junior people, now, too.

We're also still looking for a front-end HTML/CSS/JS person, too.

The openings are here, under "Marketing:" http://www.bioware.com/bioware_info/jobs/austin_jobs/

They're contract jobs, so no relocation is provided for, but they're a year long, so you wouldn't have to look for something new right away.

If you apply, email me (vmiliano at that domain name) with your resume so I can it in the hiring manager's hands.
We're still in the process of figuring out how to extend education universally. This is a relatively new idea, and as such has required more than 100 years to get right. Also, as a country (US), it seems we have yet to decide if its really worth the cost.
When I was doing my CS Degree The university's policy for cheating was Zero Tolerance, it was generally a zero in the particular assignment, failing grade in the course, or expulsion, depending on how grievous the offence.

The CS department did it a little differently. It is fairly easy to tell if you copy a programming assignment(loop structure is identical, code is identical, variable names, etc.), so what they would do is divide the total grade of the assignment and split it between all the people who copied, so if 4 people copied, there was no way to determine who copied who, so the maximum mark you could get was 25%.
This happens once and no one wants to cheat simply because by letting someone else copy of you, you are taking a chance at screwing yourself.

Collaboration was still encouraged, but wholesale copying obviously punished.
Why not just register a .ch domain then?
Pardon me for being a provincial Midwesterner, but is it common that an playing for a German audience would be in English? Especially one that relies on the viewers following verbal instructions?
Second this. Aged. Dark mode and command prompt is less tiresome on eye than white.
Well you can but now carry a baseline hypocrisy that undermines anything you’d hope to accomplish.

I have a hard time respecting these people for that reason. Hard not to view someone as entitled, or having some form of delusional idealism, when they trash their company on Twitter. Every tweet was made either shortly before or after one their exceptionally large Google paychecks was direct deposited into their account.

Further highlighting this obscure world view, they thought they wouldn’t be fired for these things? Maybe they did know they’d be fired - that would at least be a credible signal of rational thought and motivation.
Yup, the placement. but where would I put them? The keyboard wasn't full of space.
Some advancements just redistribute money from an older incumbent to a new one (that will want to research it).

Anyway, there are plenty of technological developments that bring money to their creator, bring positive overall wealth to the population, but counts as a negative at the GDP accounting. I guess that's the cause of lots of the "let's not care about growth" cries. Well, let's fix our GDP measurement first! (And yes, I know there are several people working on it.)
> My happiest childhood memories where on my grandfather's farm. My wife's happiest childhood memories where in her small village in an 'under-developed' country.

Those are happy memories because you had a happy childhood, not because there was less "stuff."

Some of my happiest memories are of biking through the suburbs to go hang out at the mall. Why? Because I didn't have a care in the world back then.
FTA: "Almost precisely one year later, the same crew of tech “journalists” who proclaimed Secret would be massively influential, declared Meerkat the next huge social media app."

Can these "journalists" be identified? I didn't follow the Meerkat craze when it happened, but if it's the same crew of people, that's pretty damning.
I won't argue that for this specific use case, tail isn't friendlier than less.

But the original poster posted a useful tip, and is now getting aggressive downvotes and comments like "This has nothing to do with what is being discussed in this subthread." I think that's unwarranted.
A big key to becoming creative is to make connections- any type of connections. Big or small, simple or extreme, or even better, come up with a little story based on those two things. Anything that you come up with is most certainly better than nothing. Never believe it's impossible because your motivation will go down the toilet. If you are motivated to become creative, it will come true. Simple as that. Sure, it is hard, but there is a connection with everything and no reason not to come up with one. This is another great exercise to open another creativity 'door' in your brain. Here are some examples- I'll give you my take on this one. Remember: the more you think outside of the box, the more creative you will be. Think hard, but don't overthink.

Hmm. Mario and a soccer ball. Well, Mario had a soccer video game- that's a connection, but a simple one. What if Mario can use a soccer ball to save Princess Peach? Let's think about that. He makes his way to Bowser's castle, knocking each guard down by kicking them with a soccer ball. Uh oh! They are throwing shells at him. So Mario kicks soccer balls at the shells, destroying them in mid air. He finally makes his way to Bowser's dungeon (where Peach is) but Bowser is in a goal guarding the door. Mario kicks it, and it bounces off of Bowser's belly right back at him. As Mario looks down in shame, his brother Luigi comes out of nowhere and smashes the ball with a bicycle kick. Yeah that's good. Bowser, get back to the bench. Mario now walks into the room and saves Peach. She hands him something- a trophy with a soccer ball on it. As Mario leaves the scene with Peach, Luigi decides to pursue a career in professional soccer after he realized how awesome his kick was. He goes on to win the 2018 World Cup with Italy. The end!

Out of only a soccer ball and Mario, I came up with his brother saving the day and becoming a soccer player. The soccer ball became Mario and Luigi's new fireball- that was my true connection. But I got a whole short story out of it! Sure it was hard, but the harder you think, the more creative juices you get flowing in your brain. The key to this connection exercise is to think out of the box. Most importantly, whatever your first instinct is, ride with it. If you are bored in school, try this exercise. Pick any two objects you see and elaborate on them as much as you want. Here are some more examples- Have fun and get creative!

Lemonade

and a Dragon

Hot Sauce

and Sand

A book

And an Ape

Let me know your connections! I'm sure every single person will have a different story. If you're stuck, feel free to comment and ask for help and I would be glad to share with you what my connection is. Please share this activity with friends and family and come back to my blog every day to learn how to be more inspired and creative. Thank you!

Wow, It's amazing how different my experience with trifexis is. My dog eats them like they are a treat(wags her tail, chews them completely, etc). I've never really noticed the mold smell.
Not sure who owns pedantic.com or why it doesn't redirect to HN. It certainly should.
>inline variable declarations (which wont be added because the Free Pascal developers feel that they aren't "Pascal-ish").

That is the big one

And just in quality. FPC compiles slower or even crashes during compiling. Debugging is worse with gdb. On Linux it uses longjmp exception handling which is rather slow. It tries to warn about uninitialized variables, but does not track properly which ones are initialized

>BTW Lazarus does have a package manager, just make sure you have the 'onlinepackagemanager' package installed in the IDE (should be installed by default with Windows installations but you may need to explicitly install it if you build from source).

Lazarus is not FreePascal. They only include libraries that are Lazarus Packages (with an *.lpk file), and I use libraries that do not have one

On the other hand, I used Lazarus (only LCL and lazbuild) is another project, and tried to submit it to an open-source app store, and they refused it, because they would not install Lazarus, because Lazarus was an IDE.

Freepascal actually has a package manager, too: https://fppkg.cnoc.nl/

But it is not advertised, so there are even less libraries on it

Anyways, what is missing is a single command line call that installs all dependencies I used in my projects. And these dependencies are neither in opm nor fppkg
This prevents ACH and wire transfers from being processed.
This is somewhat tangential, but I'm feeling a bit ambivalent about all of the popular options for building RESTFul APIs lately. With every new entry in the ecosystem, the same libraries (authentication, migrations, logging, authorization) have to be re-implemented. In spite of all of this new stuff (Go, Node, and now Rust) I look around and don't really see how we've done any better than Rails in the past decade or so. Performance needs aside, I feel like we're just going around in circles since Rails.
Yeah, I don't remember which things I've run into trouble with—it's just enough that I'm very cautious about using any SVG features outside the bare minimum.
Congratulations and thanks for writing this. It is easy as an American male to overlook how much harder others might have to work to achieve what I think of as very approachable goals. You've not only put in all the work but also had to rely on the good graces of these programs to support you! That work ethic you've cultivated is what you now must rely on to succeed and by far your most valuable asset.

You will still face difficulties because of your gender and ethnicity. It's horrible and wrong, and I hope it changes. But your tenacity and drive will show everybody your real value in the end, and I think you'll do well! I believe you are and can continue to be part of the change.

Our interview has almost zero traditional algorithms. And no, he’s not exaggerating. I’ve been interviewing people for a decade now and neither experience or pedigree is a good predictor of success.

Read the post if you haven’t because it touched on our process. And watch this video to learn more: https://youtu.be/kABh44IVWMo
My point is that just from the outset, property taxes are a tax that transfers wealth from those who own property to those who do not.

All property taxes are always a transfer from property owners to everyone else. Prop 13 or no Prop 13 this is true.

So then when we’re talking about Prop 13, we are talking about a putative transfer only
between property owners - long-standing vs recent.

When I say that it’s also not a transfer, what I mean is that anyone who holds property will end up with the same relative gain over time.

This of course assumes that prices continue to rise.

If they don’t then these schemes to tax people on unrealized gains fail too.
That is a fair point. I didn't adjust for inflation, 65% is a bit higher than I would have guessed, for sure.
How's your ADA different from say, ASP.NET policy authorization? What's the real benefit here?
Manager as facilitator works awesome. Manager as controller sucks. One path gives the team power, the other gives the boss power.
1) This is not a daily occurrence. If it, your team has more serious issues.

2) They can ask in slack. Encouraging people to reach out proactively is a skill and culture the team needs to develop.
It doesn't need to be a global/political conspiracy for people to be more sensitive to a large amount of people dying after almost 20 years of significantly lower death rates.

Edit: Also, looking at overall deaths per million is not anything like comparing actual mortality rates of those infected. The baseline mortality in 1918 was already way higher and the pandemic amplified that, despite actually being less deadly than COVID-19 at an individual level. So I'd argue that the response to this pandemic was more than merited and was appropriate to the nature of the virus itself. It was not just another "asian flu."
Here is what the Saudis have to say

Yes I was wrong. I assumed that micro usb A and B did not spring components in the cable. It’s only the pre-micro usb cables lack this improvement.
My favorite dired feature is that if you C-x C-q (the standard Emacs binding to toggle the read-only status of a file), it makes the directory buffer writable. You can then edit the buffer like a regular file, including changing file names (or symbolic link targets, or other things, I presume), and when you're done, C-c C-c and it applies all the changes as renamed files, symbolic link retargeting, etc etc. Very handy, since you can use all the usual Emacs features like query-replace or kmacros while doing it.
I suspect I had a very mild case of covid a year ago, but I was never tested. Nevertheless, I have a vaccination appointment for Thursday.
The UK's deputy PM is a Liberal (capital L) and is opposing these new laws (although his personal approval rating is so low it is laughable).

I stopped laughing at him myself just today, when I heard him on the news and I actually mailed him to lend my support. It was such a rare and refreshing thing to hear a politician actually say this is not a good idea I was stunned into action.

Sadly he will not have a seat after our May elections and there is a half chance a right wing racist demagogue will take his place. Joys of democracy.
That's not how evolution works. The question to ask is, if most food sources except for grass disappeared, would humanity as a whole (through mass starvation and the resulting natural selection) adapt to be able to survive on grass within the next 95000 years? And the answer isn't necessarily yes; humans might also just go extinct.
> it makes Quora look like Encyclopedia Britannica in terms of credibility.

Have you looked recently? Quora is mostly online marketers. Only marginally better than 12yr olds.
Have they posted any videos yet? Somewhat disappointing that so far it's only been images with really poor UI/UX via the NASA site. That's not how you capture the public's imagination.

I also don't see why they are waiting so long to do the flight, why risk even waiting until nightfall for the batteries to get too cold or for dust to get into the electronics/mechanics?
> The trouble of making a site (at least for people who can edit html directly, as in this example) is not about how to do it, but about high expectations and standards that we impose on ourselves

I've found that it helps to start with the content first. Whenever I've tried to create a site where there was no content it felt really overwhelming since it's difficult to figure out how to present things nicely when you have no idea what you're trying to present! Of course, if it's your first personal site you very likely don't have much content for it, so it's a bit of a catch-22.
Because we are software engineers and website designers and we can do better... (Please don't look at my website...)
Yes, that's one of the method that was used:
from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9284226 :

> The first round was cross-domain JavaScript, stopped with an "alert()". Second round was cross-domain <img>, stopped with referrer. Third was DDoS-ing GitHub Pages. Fourth is the ongoing TCP SYN Flood attack.
I use 125mb.com for free hosting and they have the same one-button install feature if I remember correctly.

But for sure, nothing wrong with this info...it's cool how the OP set things up for his solution.
It's true that every top 20 private college/university allows in a great many people for free.

However, there's a big difference between divorced parents and 10 siblings, and a situation in which I grew up: one sibling, married parents, lower middle class income, but my father had a ton of school loans. The result was that my family income was high enough that I qualified for reduced tuition at most private schools, but nowhere near enough reduction to make most schools viable. Cost was literally the only factor I was able to consider in my choice of school, and even having chosen the school which offered me the best financial aid, I was unable to complete school due to cost.

The fact is, the cost of education has risen to the point that higher education isn't available even to people in the middle class.

$125K/year family income reaches well into the middle class. I would have paid nothing to go to Stanford, and in fact I still would pay nothing to go to Stanford. I may actually apply and try to finish my degree. :)
Is this agreement negotiated by reptilians? Where are names of people who is working on this stuff? Were they elected? Were they appointed? By whom? How in the world contents of such agreement can stay secret?

Slightly OT, but I'm going to travel through China in a couple days and before reading this thread I thought I could get away with my VPN (hosted on my Digital Ocean VPS) plus eventually Tor, but now I'm not quite sure anymore.

Could anybody shed light on this?
Generally people don't look at the output of the compiler, but the output of the compiled program.

This is wrong because you are viewing the task of a compiler in terms of the result of the compiled program. A compiler is simply a translator from one language to another. The result of the program is the result of an interpreter running the code, not the compiler. Deviation from correct output in the compiled code is not only not allowed, it is deemed a bug in that code.

The unique part of different compilers is not the output of the compiled code they produce but the compiled code itself. All compilers should produce code that produces the same result if they are taking in the same input, by definition.
Let's imagine it's the Ernst Stavro Blofeld Foundation deviating attention from SPECTRE through a series of arguably good deeds that are coincidentally profitable for its mother organization. Blofeld always dreamed with being remembered as the new Carnegie for all the good his kind heart brought upon mankind. That or world domination, whatever comes first.

It would be awesome if they had a missile base inside Mount Rainier ;-)

On a more serious note, they may well be one of the most influential charities in the world, but, unless the net result of their activities is good, they are not, really, doing good. Most of the criticism is because their activities are worsening the situation where they are trying to help. It also doesn't help when they push Microsoft (or other companies owned partly by Gates and his satellites) stuff along with their fully tax deductible good deeds.
This is disheartening. I would much rather see Ryan do more productive and interesting things than cater to Windows users.
Anyone care to enlighten me as to why this isn't just fear mongering, instead of downvoting me? If there is actually cause for alarm, I'd like to know...
In the past few months I was admitted to the hospital on 2 separate occasions for staph infections in my leg. I am a 24 year old, active, healthy individual with no prior health issues. The doctors and infectious disease specialists are essentially clueless as to what caused such severe staph infections, twice nonetheless. This article hit close to home and is shocking.
I don't have time to read mediocre books. I've found myself buying a number of ebooks and putting them aside, at several price points. I think I am more wary of the sub $9 ebooks, which may not make sense, but there you are.
thank you so much!! I was in the same boat just trying to plow through books, having the basic concepts down first after working through this class should help a ton! :)
What prevents people registering a new NFT for the same work? Provenance might not be easily justifiable purely by date it was created.
I would attribute some of it to translating the word problem into a logic problem, which I think Fizzbuzz is really testing. Once you see it's just one conditional testing multiples of 3 and 5, and understand it covers the whole problem, it becomes trivial.
