Fromy past experience working woth wasm-bindgen, it seems that you cannot get auto-completion for web APIs due to the fact that they are generated dynamically. Is this issue resolved now? What IDE/editor do you use to enable that?

That’s weird how Vizio TVs haven’t dropped in price once ads started “subsidizing” their prices.

I think he means that without ads they wouldn’t make as much so they would have to charge more to make the same amount of money they would with ads (which is the same they used to make).
For somebody who admits having no idea what it's for, you seem awfully confident of your opinion.
If you’ve been in an In and Out burger drive thru multiply that by twenty cars ahead of you. That is indeed golden.
I think a second big factor in this is that people tend to suffer from scope insensitivity, so it feels much nicer to win $5 ten times and then lose $100 once than it feels to lose $5 ten times and win $100 once.
Most jobs in the Netherlands can be done part-time. Yes, executive-level jobs are usually an exception, but you can be e.g. a part-time computer programmer without major issues.

That said, full-times do earn more money and promotions.
I can pick up that the intent of the poster of this was to imply that this promise was simply to gain donation money. While I don't know overly much about how such issues are typically handled in these communities, I'd far rather donate to Wikileaks's "secret docs coming over, keep us strong" then Wikipedia's "look at me, I'm Jimbo Wales".
I'm doing that no-Flash-plugin-on-my-Mac thing and couldn't get uploading to work (and I also see a box noting a missing plugin). I "let go to upload," but the window just sat there. Switching to Chrome (which has Flash built in), everything worked fine.

As others have said, just having a standard upload button would work nicely. Same with click-to-copy, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the URL without Flash. Detect Flash, and then add in the "goodies" like that, otherwise the interface is much less usable.

Other than that, when Flash is installed, the interface is nice and easy to use. It's a great start and I look forward to more!
> The fundamental problem here is systematic risk, a bank should be able to fail without bring down other banks, unfortunately the system wasn't able to cope with the failure of a large number of banks who were all exposed to the same risk.

Note that some of the systemic risk was caused by regulation.

The US govt gave fannie and freddie stock special treatment when held by banks as part of their assets. As a result, banks overloaded on Fannie and Freddie. When Fannie and Freddie went down, that took a lot of banks into technical insolvency. (It didn't help that Fannie and Freddie lied about the loans in their portfolios, which threw off everyone's risk analysis of the market as a whole.)

Bond insurance was encouraged by regulators because it let banks and pension funds hold bonds as "safe" assets. (When you're pushing mortgages, you need to make them appear safe so more folks will buy them.)

The SEC gave a ratings monopoly to three ratings institutions. When they got it wrong....

Regulation is systemic risk.
Of course I do. The ENTIRE game logistics runs on GAE, the iPhone stores zero data except a user key.
a mysterious title?

joke aside, the title of the article is "What makes two people click?" which I interpret widely differently from the actual submission link.

The article itself is a great read.

edit: submission title has been updated :)
True, the short URLs aren't that short. We're adding in nice "lts.cr/a" URLs soon.
If there was no secondary market, the company would receive far less money at the IPO.

Liquidity is very valuable. Compare the more and less liquid shares in Chipotle - the only difference between CMG and CMG.B is that CMG.B has more voting rights, but less liquidity.

from the outside, Twitter seems to have more of the Valley-style engineering culture, and shares Google's API-oriented philosophy. Also there are some former Googlers in key roles there.

It's a good point about Google not getting social. Then again, Microsoft's also tried and failed to go social multiple times -- Windows Live Spaces, QnA, Groove, Hailstorm, and 3° are a few fairly-high-profile examples that leap to mind.
The before-and-after with detailed explanations is a tremendously appealing format for learning about design though. Are there any good guides which take a similar approach?
I pledged a frat at UMD, majored in comp sci. It was the best 8 weeks I'd never want to do again.

>The apps that get installed are "crapware." This one seems a matter of opinion. A lot of the world's most popular apps and sites seem like junk to us. But the users are choosing to install these things.

The users are choosing to install the original app, not the bundled crap. This is sad.
Thanks! Definitely agree what may seem a 'gap' from one perspective may fuel advantages in other dimensions. By analogy to software data, it's almost as if you're 'serializing' memories differently.

One last thing I wonder may be correlated: do you have a good sense of direction/navigation?
The suburban lifestyle is imposed by zoning ordinances. Your house must be set back X feet, you must use half an acre of land at a minimum, must be no more than two stories tall, must provide parking, and have a minimum square footage it has to meet. Commercial buildings have the same restrictions.

Even with a bazillion dollars and an army of laborers, I couldn't build a multistory, mixed-use, urban style apartment building in most suburban districts without changing the law.

To top it all off, cities have also restricted development and enacted rent control or rent subsidization (effectively a newcomer tax) so those of us who want city living no longer can afford it because old cities became too expensive and new cities are not legally possible to build.
Some proposals were to warn about HTTP without OE, and then display the current HTTP plaintext UI for HTTP with OE. So long as there's no distinction to the end user UI so plaintext looks as good as OE, then I'm all for it.
"Logically, if immigrants were “stealing” jobs, so would every young person leaving school and entering the job market"

It's bizarre that people don't see this. Anyone concerned about immigrants is surely, logically, also concerned about people having babies. But somehow people think that limiting birthrates as a bad thing and limiting immigration is a good thing. Just a complete inconsistency.
Perhaps that unemployed are all just trying to create more HR positions in the company so they can apply to those, too!
On top of this, a number of applications, like Photoshop, will detect that you are trying to print out a US note, and will not allow it.

This seems like a lot of effort to prevent the stupidest form of counterfeiting, and doing nothing against the real problem.
I like to tell the story of how in 1998, when I got my first programming job, I decided not to buy a house because I thought prices were irrationally high, and that it was a bubble. I could have bought, too. Obviously, even if I rode it through the current crash, I'd be way in the black today.
So were you at NTU (which should perhaps then be renamed Nanyang University of Technology, Singapore)?
I cured myself of that by getting a radio alarm and turning it up as loud as it would go; I basically shocked myself totally awake first thing. Nowadays just an ordinary alarm is enough because I have made it a habit to get up. (If you are not going to get up when the alarm goes off, don't set it - you will just be training yourself in the bad habit of ignoring it.)

Added: One of my responsibilities was to make sure my brothers got up in time for school. I can tell you from experience, that if you have someone to help, ice water is a great motivator to get out of bed.

One of the outcomes that really surprised me is that computer manufactures still haven't really caught up - a lot of computer shops were inundated with orders for webcams, because their stand-alone monitors didn't have them built in. And guess what, they still don't (many shops here don't stock any monitors at all with built-in webcams, and many don't even have speakers). There's no reason any desktop computer these days shouldn't come basically standard with everything needed for teleconferencing - webcam, mic, speakers etc.
Also, pleasantly the 0-ary invocation is the identity so (+) is 0 and (*) is 1.

This was inherited from Prolog, which ends terms with a full stop.

Most other languages didn't want to handle the syntactic ambiguity of using the period as a decimal point and a statement separator.

Agree, I think a better process might be

- interview 40 users over zoom, gain insights, test assumptions, create hypotheses

- create sketch of product, wireframe or prototype and get feedback from 60 users on a site like UserTesting.com that produces granular insights

- hone in on problem space, understand user pain points through research instead of guessing in a vacuum
You can fly a pretty good distance in 18min @30-40mph (Napkin Math - somewhere in the 10mile one way range) it would be reasonable to speculate they were within 10km as they still had a way to go to get across the border but that's still a pretty large area.
Awesome article, thanks
It very much depends upon your own interest if you are looking career in web development then i will suggest you to start learning frameworks instead just language for web there are plenty of frameworks my suggestion would be

- Rails for Ruby
- Laravel for PHP
- Angular for Front End

this is all from me according to my understanding of stuff
Thanks
Personally, I'm of the opinion that we downvote comments that aren't civilized. I think that has proven to work fairly well.
I call BS. If you work in fast food or retail you won't be well off at all. But if you lack a college degree or even a high school diploma and go into construction, landscaping/yard maintenance, plumbing, automotive work, or a factory job (very much the same "meat and potatoes" jobs of older generations) you will actually be making significantly above median wages.

As for college, on average I suspect it's a wash, income wise. For every graduate with an engineering, science, or business degree who is able to jump into a cushy high paying job at most a few years after completing school there are 1 or more graduates with less economically advantageous degrees in softer liberal-arts disciplines who gain almost no advantage in job hunting from their degrees.
10 year-olds learning to program is quite common, and I'm surprised that you're surprised that a 13 year-old might get far along enough in it to hear the name of a famous technologist.

I and many of my friends survive on less than 10K in the USA. Even Derek Sivers (from Mixergy interview) claims to live on 20K or less.

"Well if RackSpace, an industry veteran with 12 years of serving experience and $600m+ annual revenues, feels that a two-year old venture funded startup offers superior monitoring functionality than that says a lot about the company's internal processes and development priorities."

For RackSpace, monitoring is a cost center and not a core competency.

"If the data is available inside the company then it even has a duty to shareholders, as a publicly listed company, to make the most out of that data to enhance profits."

> To be fair, the question was "with inflation" or "without inflation" (inflation rate of zero).

As you're pointing out, currencies don't have built-in inflation or deflation, that's why it didn't make sense to answer the exact question that the parent comment was asking.
Why would this even matter with the type of machines we have today? I'm sure your 8gigs can handle a little Ad Block.
I don't really know. This study looked at the ACA and AHA national conferences. I doubt there are many surgeons at the American Cardiology Association meeting; cardiology is highly specialized. There are probably some at the American Heart Association meeting.
Sorry I was doing calculations at 2 seconds timeout.

Lets make it even harder for the TCP truthers. Hold on to your neckbeards.

Lets say that somehow sending 90 byte packets 60-times a second for 2 seconds is bad. Lets also say it would be nicer to have a longer timeout like 10 seconds. I agree.

Here's how to do it. Clamp the maximum number of inputs per-packet to 60 (1 seconds worth). If you don't receive any acks for one second something is clearly wrong. If this happens go into "congested mode". In this mode, send packets only 4 times per-second, and keep resending those 60 inputs until an ack comes back. If no ack comes back within 10 seconds, time out. If an ack comes back, go back to non-congested mode and resume sending at 60 packets per-second.

There you go. Congestion avoidance over UDP. Problem solved.
I remember interviewing James for a podcast I used to produce. It was hilarious in that many of my friends are strong Christians, and many of James' friends are part of the BDSM community. We could not have been more polar opposites on many aspects of our worldviews, but we both loved the Ruby programming language and surrounding community.

Both of us had "fallout" from that interview, me for interviewing a "heathen" and James for associating with someone so "vanilla". We both laughed, and we both remained friends.

I'm really going to miss James.
I stopped reading The Verge when the editorial shift happened as well. The Verge was an interesting experiment. What happens when core employees leave the big company and start their own?

>"..."The AOL Way", a 58-page long company plan to grow AOL into a media empire. Some employees suggested that AOL was sacrificing journalism for page views"

At first, they stuck to their core tech/gadget proficiencies and continued with what worked at Engadget. But as they moved further away from 'This is my next' to 'The Verge', they shifted the editorial focus and began sacrificing journalism for the promotion of 'progressive idealism' rather than 'page views' - and the result is much the same.
An 'arts, sports, and leisure' society. More people playing video games (the industrialized world is excellent at creating cheap entertainment - we could create WoWs and Candy Crushes forever); playing sports; exercising; socializing; nature walks/hiking/hanging around in parks; learning for learning's sake (with cheap books, MOOCs, etc. you could essentially do self-directed academia for life); amateur science/wilderness exploration; art and music creation; lots of recreational drug use, and eventually, wireheading or its equivalent (top-notch VR would probably get us pretty far down that road, anyway.)
I guess I don't understand. There's a lot of ways to accomplish tasks in any programming language but in JS in particular there's a way to assign the value of this and you can use it to have clean, dry code, and I'd expect any sr. level people to know how to use it. jQuery source has over 100 uses of call and apply.
It isn't uncommon to hear modern sighting described using these words as well. That doesn't really mean much since these are still common objects today.
Great call on sharing a more robust write-up. We're going to be watching the market closely over the next 10 days and will share more here.

For our team, one of the more interesting aspects of continued observation will be a more fine-grained understanding of price elasticity around such a major event.

To elaborate on the title, “silenced” means:

> [YPG’s page] can’t be viewed by Facebook users inside Turkey

> The page is still available on Facebook to people who view the site through U.S. internet providers.

And “enemy of Turkey”:

> Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist organization, although neither the U.S. nor Facebook do.

I suggest you go and talk to a software dev about what they’re building for wall street- because the last thing they’re doing is gambling and this “well everything is gambling” is the exact kind of thinking the article warns about. There is a difference between an investment strategy; which has a plan, an understanding of the market, a set of risk limits and an exit strategy, and gambling.
No. But thank you. I won't also invest into stock of your company or mint version of your released products either.
Bitcoin has been Libertarian (or maybe some form of anarchist) from the start. This is uncontroversial.
Heres a probably unpopular opinion....
Pipes make things a bit slow. A native pipeless program would be a good bit faster - incl. an acid db. Note that doing this in python and expecting it to beat grep wont work...

The other thing is that hadoop - and some others are slow on big data (peta, or more) vs own tools. Theyre necessary/used because of massive clustering (10x the hardware deployed easily beats making ur own financially).

I suspect its a general lack of understanding the way computers work (hardware, os ie system architecture) vs "why care it works and python/go/java/etc are easy for me i dont need to know what happens under the hood".
I assume javert is talking about verifying bitcoin transactions:

I was lucky to get a mix of C, Java, and Haskell. Unfortunately (to my detriment) I totally ignored Haskell, and it didn't really click until I picked it up at the end of my degree out of curiosity- it really does help to clarify one's thinking.

I think teaching the motivation for learning it before beginning would have been better than just throwing it at freshmen, but I can't truly blame anyone other than myself.
Something like Julia's PyCall package that allows calling arbitrary Python packages from Julia would also be great.
It was a browser-only game so native code was not an option. The goal for them was to avoid app stores and give kids the ability to drop into games casually from the browser like they did with desktop flash at the time.
So I guess that means no claymores planted in the yard. Dang.

Seriously though, this is a real concern. How do you build a house that is raid proof but that can be accessed by the fire dept? Maybe we should push the context of the problem back a little bit and ask: how do we de-escalate the police state in the U.S.?
Wouldn't getting rid of last minute riders or unrelated riders be a more effective way?
Hey, preferring some playback devices because of your cultural background is just as valid as preferring some of them because they have higher pitches. You like what you like. But they're all "real".

Artificial doesn't make sense here because music is manmade to begin with. I don't think it would make sense to call an artisanal handmade telephone any less artificial than your factory-stamped Cisco IP phone. Diamonds are naturally occuring, so there is actually a distinction there. As the manufacturing process matures, that distinction will remain, but 99% of people just won't care. Like with salt.
> small luxuries are necessities

By definition luxuries are not necessities. If people can do without them fine (millions of people don't drink or smoke), they are not necessities.

Then what is, which money could buy? I make a lot more money than that, but my life doesn't sound any better.
True, the portion of your OS that actually uses EFI services must work in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode, so you'll have to write it portably. That's somewhat easier since you don't need to write any assembly; you can write in any high-level language with an FFI to C. However, you can run a 64-bit OS with 32-bit EFI or vice versa; you just have to switch modes yourself. And you can defer that until later in the development of your OS.
Beyond the poor that's a feature, not a bug. If you hate your life and you're not having it objectively terrible then it's your mind that's the problem. Objectively improving your life will do nothing.

And defeatism may well be unreasonable, but who claimed otherwise? That it's bad is obvious, and stating it helps nobody. Even the author of the article knows it's bad and wrong but does it anyway.
'And the startup economy would have been down by one potential developer.'

Not only the startup economy.

Brief thought experiment:

Imagine two people. Person A is a car mechanic. Person B is a software developer. Neither are employed but both are more skilled and likely more efficient than each other in their respective fields.

Despite the fact that A needs a website and B needs an oil change, A and B will likely end up performing the work themselves, not because they enjoy it, but because they can't afford to pay each other.

This is a vast oversimplification (in this case, they could just directly barter and exchange no funds, or even if they did exchange funds $50 would flow one way and right back the other).

But the economy dies with the middle class. When no-one can afford to partake in services, we all suffer.
> In the case of UEFI, it may be possible to explicitly ask for a certain operating mode at boot, but I am not familiar with that (yet).

That was the point of the comment you replied to. Normally, EFI either runs in 32-bit or 64-bit, and only loads and runs binaries for that mode.
One is violence possibly triggered by police escalation to a once peaceful protest about people being murdered by authority figures.
