The Snow Man is quite good:

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

Aaron’s edict, “All do-goodery is decadent trash.”
amazon has limits that take time to increase, which has me scratching my head - we've always had to put in a support ticket whenever moving past those limits, for instance the 50 server limit we reached.
Finding out whether the management is good/bad is not something you can determine without seeing it in action. It can even come from close to the top and blindside you completely.

Getting too hung up in the minute details is not good - you don't want people who are nearly identical to you. I don't care too much about the specifics of a stack, excepting that it doesn't involve WordPress work - I do care about the details when I'm actually working on there, but that is different.

The people & the decision making are the most important. Good leadership is also of vital importance - one bad leader is enough to sink a team, especially at a startup. Code architecture can be fixed - it is an opportunity for you to step in and help fix it and any process issues. Becoming involved in multiple sectors is also usually encouraged. However, any of these initiatives can be sunk by any one decision maker along the chain.

Your best bet is to observe how everyone carries themselves carefully, especially any time you see them in person. Question the interviewers carefully on their processes, interpersonal dynamic, and observe & assess each person's behavior. Even still you will be making a leap of faith, but at least it will be one where you have made important evaluation of the company, and it can help you screen out bad fits more efficiently.
The HHVM team runs the tests of popular GitHub PHP repositories on HHVM, it's available here: http://hhvm.com/frameworks/

According to that 99% of magento2 tests are passing.
reminds me of this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040522/
I'm not doubting you, but I would earnestly like to see those numbers and how they are calculated.
I'ld love to see bug voting on Open Radar. Identifying the most important bugs would become much easier.
I'm a web developer too, and I've worked with PHP professionally. It's not a great language in terms of features, but there are worse.

One of the good things about PHP is that it has a very low barrier to entry, making it easy for people to get up and running.

I think, though, that that sometimes leads to one reason why people dislike it: a company gets up and running (which is a good thing) on a hideous pile of crap codebase (not so good) and then decides to hire some more serious developers.

I've been in that position, and it is not fun.
Purina pet food is the highest quality, not crazy expensive pet food out there (but is owned by Nestle). Your source points out that many suppliers were impacted in 2007 - in fact all most all of the premium dog foods were impacted.

From a quick glance, this looks to be a rewrite/reformatting of a presentation at NANOG 47 entitled "Tutorial: How to Accurately Interpret Traceroute Results". From the abstract [0]:

> Many people think they understand how to use and understand traceroute, yet the large number of traceroute based tickets at any sizable ISP proves that the vast majority of people do not. Even the ISPs themselves are frequently unable to come up with staff who are qualified to look at a traceroute and interpret it correctly.

There's a PDF of the slides [1] as well as a WMV [2] available. As a network engineer at an ISP, I send out these links fairly often. To quote someone else [3]:

> This is an incredibly useful presentation. All the little bits and
pieces you can't learn from text books.

Seriously, watch the video or, at the least, listen to it as you do something else. I'd almost guarantee that you'll learn something.

Sure, I just thought that the parent was only presenting one side of the math.
I put this together as a fun little side project after beginning to wonder about geographic biases present in Wikipedia articles. Here are just a few comparisons that I've tried & found at least mildly interesting...

- Religious figures: Muhammad vs Jesus vs Vishnu https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!...

- Major cities: San Francisco vs New York City vs Chicago https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!...

- World leaders: Barack Obama vs Elizabeth II vs Pranab Mukherjee https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!...

Here's an album of screenshots http://imgur.com/a/wmsLX, if you don't mind losing the ability to zoom in and look around :)

All the code is open source and available on GitHub https://github.com/theopolisme/wikipedia-contributor-locatio.... The tool uses a Python backend to access the Wikipedia API and pull a list of revisions for the given articles, then look up their locations using MaxMind's free GeoIP database. On the frontend side of things, I used leaflet.js and a custom-modded (to allow for variable point radii to indicate multiple edits from the same location) version of leaflet.heat to draw the map.
> Is there any ubiquitous, simple language available basically everywhere and with a nice IDE by default?

Python comes close. It runs on just about anything, has a very basic GUI toolkit in the standard library (Tkinter) and comes with a syntax highlighting code editor with built-in command shell as standard (IDLE).

Tkinter is ok for simple apps like a calculator. IDLE was written in it so it's fine for basic apps. For anything more complex there are wrappers available for native UI libraries, or you can use PyQt or PySide that both wrap the very capable Qt framework (a personal favourite). There are more feature complete IDEs, but honestly IDLE is a fine learning environment.

There is a commercial version of Python available for the iPad called Pythonista. It has a serviceable code editor and a bunch of external libraries baked in, but doesn't have TkInter as the desktop GUI paradigm doesn't work on iOS. Instead it has wrappers for the native iOS GUI frameworks, and even comes with a visual UI designer.
It doesn't matter anyways.
looks great - excellent work
For me it took 1.5 minutes to submit a comment. Lets see how long this one takes! :)
Does Google do this as well?
Ironically, recreational hunters solved this problem a long time ago. Give people a private plot and a quota and they will make sure populations stay healthy in that plot and surrounding areas. There are more whitetail deer in North America now after these kinds of hunting practices than there were when the first European settlers arrived.

Does the CGA have a vsync non-display blanking interval that could prevent tearing?
More than that, when I see those kind of opt in/out adware or toolbar things in an installer, I immediately lose trust in the underlying software I'm trying to install. Guilt by association.
Like mratzloff said, please give some reason rather than leave me wondering.
That was my first thought, too. "Oh, analyst w*nk."
Definitely correct that the great-recession is structural unemployment - not just lack of demand.

The industrial revolution spawned public schools for giving all of society the ability to take part - now we need another similar revolution.

However, whereas before it was the capitalist class doing this to get more workers for their factories, it's now those very people trying to restrict education into the same old mold.

We need a model that suits the emerging model: global, info rich, distributed, open-source, democratized, etc.

This means we need: basic programming (using FOSS) for everyone, teach stats before, teach FabLab tech, teach media literacy and research at a young age, show them the vast amount of resources at their disposal.

Our kids really will be our future...
Yea you are correct, I forgot to include 'as a hobby'.
This is a good example of the importance of institutional knowledge. IIRC this is why Boeing has to design a new plane every decade or so -- otherwise it 'forgets' how to when enough people leave, retire, etc. I am sure there are many more examples of this out there.

edit: a more relevant example to HN -- the supposed run on cobol hackers. One might also be able to argue this about mainframes, too.
"In order to combat such structural problems, the need for investment in education and jobs is clear."

Um, didn't they say just before this that 50% of Bachelor's graduates cannot find jobs requiring that degree? So how is funding even more Bachelor's degrees going to help in the current environment?
That's only in the US,this doesn't prove it was a global phenomenon.
The video quality is terrible. And many of us have symmetric gigabit internet so it's not like it's our connection. Zoom is actually crystal clear in most cases.
Sorry I knew there was an h in there somewhere but I didn't take the time to look it up. Only been there for about a week and I loved it. The seafood was fantastic and I like the weather a lot. We were mostly around Lisbon. Really like Cascais.
Then is the goal of "preventing bad AI outcomes" at any level just a bit absurd? Or at least as absurd as "eliminating alignment issues among humans", or maybe even "bug-free code" if you apply the principle towards relatively simple programs?
What might be interesting to be notified about is certificate issued but not deployed (i.e. in CT logs, but not presented by web server).

I would say math is necessary but not sufficient to be successful in physics. Also, if somebody has the aptitude but not the drive, failure can certainly be an option.
I don't see what the problem is. Franchises are less risky because they've already removed a lot of the risk. Isn't this the correct path for business?
"The fact that the students appeared to internalize the false events to the extent that they did highlights the fundamental malleability of memory"

Is it true that the memories themselves are false or is it the remembering process that is influenced to produce false beliefs about what happened?
Isn’t sidekiq working off Redis? You might be adjusting the Redis concurrency instead. And if I remember correctly even with sidekiq you’re still using normal Rails and ActiveRecord, so a process that’s running 25 sidekiq jobs simultaneously is going to need 25 active record DB conns from the database.yml. I doubt the sidekiq config is overriding it in some way.

But basically if your sidekiq workers and app servers are using the same database.yml values, you’ll need to set the greater of the two on both. I assumed you have different settings on app servers and workers.
Then don't send the military in unarmed. You're not going to put my people out there to be punching bags (or skeet).
People express themselves politically through voting. These people in particular had every form of expression available to them. They discussed whatever they wanted, and I can provide you with links where you can see those discussions
> Although restricting offensive speech has the upfront benefit of not hurting our iddly-widdly-fweelings, this is the price we pay for abandoning free speech.

Given that lies about the election, protected by free speech, have stoked these riots maybe you should consider whether it's really a problem of not enough free speech.
> No, because no one made legally-cognizable claims based on the affidavits in court

That's not how courts are supposed to work. If they worked as you say, there would be no reason to have hearings for the majority of rape/abuse accusations. The courts are there to have a formal process which would determine whether provided evidence and witnesses have weight and elements of truth, and whether additional investigations are required. it would also be required to establish whether anyone who signed the affidavits had to be prosecuted for perjury, because the just process would have to determine and prosecute the lying side (as that side is not known beforehand). None of that took place, there were no hearings, and the filings were dismissed without the required due process.
Egress filtering in ISPs and backbone providers. People should not be able to syn flood in 2015.
The main systemic effect of zeroing out back office workers is they're going to be really pissed off and all of them will be unemployed. They all vote for one political party, BTW, as a block, so guess which party likes this idea and which hates it?

Another way to look at it is if you had a magic oracle to make sure only the "right" people were being helped, you could safely fire all those back office people and cut taxes for everyone by $1000 by relying on the magic oracle to save a grand of back office dough per year. Well, lacking that magical oracle, why not just fire the whole back office and mail out $1K reimbursement checks to everyone? I mean, fundamentally, if the back office isn't providing $1K per resident of value per year, is there any inherent value in keeping them employed other than buying votes or something? So fire them and give the money back to the citizens it was stolen from, by writing a check...
My immediate question is whether requiring an upgrade to 4.4 is substantially more difficult for the manufacturers and carriers to make it work with the affected hardware. That seems like a much messier job than just patching WebKit.
It looks like it requires a special modded version of minecraft running on the server. I wonder if they have plans to release or sell the server code.
While it's not an ML-style language, I've found that I enjoy Clojure the most when it comes to JVM alternatives. The lack of F#-style pattern matching makes a few things feel less elegant, but the general structure of my code is extremely similar.

While I largely agree, I think there is a contradiction between

(1) giving mobile users the option to see it as a 'full' (i.e. desktop) version

and

(2) Fitting the design to the screen size.

In the quoted example (http://hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/finally-a-fluid-hicksdesign), while a great implementation of fluid design, on my mobile device I don't have the option of seeing what it looks like on a desktop (it doesn't let me zoom out to a larger screen size)
Now how many people are on the Forbes' list of 100 richest Americans who made their fortunes "on their own"?

(Not to diminish the work of those who started with "more" in life.)
Why is it an issue though? Recursion is an optional thing some programmers like using. It's not necessary.

First time I've come across glassdoor.com -- clear your cookies else your "free trial" runs out.

At one small start-up company I worked at us developers/hackers eventually found an "encrypted" XLS document which contained all the salaries (this was when Excel "encryption" wasn't up to much). So we read everyone's salaries, from the management down. The interesting part was that certain people in management were taking home huge salaries, for not doing very much visible work. The company ripped off a lot of investors and was eventually sold for a tiny fraction (~1%) of the money which was put in. Which surprised no one on the inside.

The OP was talking about omission, not Peter directly. Webvan was a spectacular, legendary failure that destroyed almost a billion dollars of investor wealth, mainly through incompetently aping Amazon's business model without fully understanding it. Not even bothering to hint at that when talking about someone who led the company is a huge omission bordering on a lie.

Wikipedia: "Webvan tried to embrace a total customer satisfaction model involving a 30 minute window delivery without considering that many working customers would like their groceries delivered at home at night."
The US no longer tests Nukes right?

So how do they know the new stuff works I wonder . . .
> And weird, bars usually charge for soda.

The key is to say, "I'm driving, I'll have a Coke." I've never been charged.
If we could close most loopholes taxing the wealth of the individuals might work.

I’m talking all loopholes, even giving money to a 501c3. Billy’s nonprofit gives back less than 1% to the country that coddled him. Plus—I feel a lot of nonprofits are just tax dodges.

Want to manufacture overseas? Fine, but move to that country, and don’t come back.

I got carried away again. I would like to basically see tax loopholes closed, or only allowed the first few years of a business life.
> The page talks about emerging web standards and talks about Safari and Apple's support for them.

It doesn't say 'emerging'. It says 'reliable'.

> It mentions that not all browsers support all of the latest standards, and then it gives examples of some of the latest standards that Safari supports.

Except that it doesn't. (a) because the specs are still in draft, and (b) because independent tests show Safari's support to be impressive but nowhere near complete.

Indeed. Tynt is an absolute abomination going against both basic clipboard usability and Web content mores.

I will forevermore pronounce Tynt as taint.
Nope. Google uses a ton of WebKit code, submits a lot of code back into WebKit proper, but they're doing their own stuff too. IIRC they wanted to have GPU acceleration for 3D CSS which apparently WebKit proper doesn't offer at this point or Google thinks they can do it better. You can't safely assume all WebKit based browsers are going to be equal.
Uh, what? The vast majority of the time, when people talk about web standards, they mean the W3C recommendations. Suddenly, when Apple uses it in marketing material, it means "recommendations that have been implemented by all browsers"?
Eating healthy has to just become how you eat most of the time. Exercise has to become a habitual thing you do every day or two, like mowing the lawn or taking out the trash.

Yes! Yes! Yes! This is the key, "the secret," to fitness.

So by 'recommendation', am I to assume you're talking about HTML 4.01?

(edit: again with the downvotes, no answer...)
I'm appalled that people on HN are casually discussing ways to squat domains.

Have you tried to come up with a good domain name that's not already taken? It's really freaking difficult, because squatter scumbags have taken practically all of them.

There's not much left besides names like "heroku" or "meebo" that are basically just strings of random characters, and working around squatters by concatenating the name you'd actually want with "-ly", "get-" or "-app" is not really a solution.

Your business model is extortion.
I see it as part of their charm - speaks to the homebrew, grassroots, piecemeal nature of them.

Not too slick and not too polished.

For instance, I feel that the artistic execution of the old NetBSD and FreeBSD logos really felt inline with my perception of the projects themselves. When they were replaced with thought-out carefully designed ones, in my mind, this abstract connection was lost.

git did this recently too. I preferred the tree-eating monster and vertical logo - it had so much more character and soul than the current look does.
Don't you think,

and

often correlate?
"No, no, NO. We can't sign a 1-year lease - you don't get it. We might not be around in 6 months!"

That's not a logo. It's Camelia, the spokesbug for Perl 6!

The Dear Leader, now, he's still alive. He's less accessible than his father... but he probably spends more time underground.
This is an awful article. The title is linkbait and the opinions offered are given with little contradictory evidence.

Anticipating what somebody's response might be -- "you hurt my feelings!" or "You're lying" -- is part of human communication. Why have three exchanges when I can just anticipate your response and cover the most likely mistakes you might make? Moves the conversation along faster.

They also serve a critical role in the emotional nature of discourse. If I say, "To be honest", I am preparing the listener for something that might be more blunt than they are prepared to hear. "No offense, but" gets the reader ready to hear something they may find offensive. It's not that I am being disingenuous. Far from it. I'm simply trying to apply a little balm before the burn comes.

In life we have to say things to people that they may not want to hear. It is critically important that we learn how to "do the dance" with throwaway words and phrases like this in order that we can give -- and get -- information we may find hard to digest. Yes, you can pull out a broad brush and say it's lying, but you're entirely missing the point of such phrases by doing so.

Written communication to some degree mirrors vocal communication. We will always have a need to help each other emotionally as we talk about important things. Calling each other liars because the literal meanings of phrases don't exactly match up with the intention of the speaker is to confuse the practice of language with the semantic meaning of the words, something any linguist worth his salt should know not to do.
That's not really true. If they could be added or removed without changing the sentence, then you wouldn't be suggesting their removal.

"To be honest" and "in fact" do change the meaning of the sentence, just in subtle ways. The question isn't a black and white "add meaning" versus "doesn't add meaning", the question is what is the actual effect of using those idioms.

"Adds meaning that distracts from the point you ostensibly want to make" would be more accurate.
