>It's still very popular in the gamer and professional workstation market, and likely will be for a long time. It's just hard to cram the processing power that gamers, hard-core developers, CAD and simulation users, etc. need into something as small as a laptop without creating what's comically referred to as a "ball burner" or "weenie roaster."

Gaming is a niche market mostly for younger ages (people with "game rigs" drops rapidly after a certain age) and most hard-core developers use laptops -- the laptops you see in each and every dev conference are their main boxes, with or without external monitors.

As for CAD and simulation that's too niche to even mention. Of course some people will always have a need for a more powerful form factor. But if CAD users are part of the counter-argument for "it's not dying", then it very much is.
Then don't buy the "vast majority of laptops" but on that includes it.
Ask HN: Best real time stock charts
For day traders here, what are the best real time charts/data sources you use? I'm looking for minute level candlestick charts as well as latest trades and bid/asks. Free or paid is fine as well. I'm also willing to look at trading anything - stocks, futures, currencies. Don't really care about technical analysis features except the most basic ones, but would be nice to easily compare different markets.

Thanks!

A. Sit down and go over rev model change / secret Series A. Let him speak 90% of the time. Then; revisit the roles/responsibilities you both signed on for. Reiterate the role of CEO; overseeing scale, high-level items and that it's imperative to stay focused on such, keeping tech-related accountability to you.

B. Communicate via all-hands more often, so his micromanaging efforts are blatantly obvious, allowing objectives to realign as a whole.

Frankly, if you don't want to put yourself out of business, you don't refund your client in situations where the client cannot reasonably argue they didn't expect the listing to be fraudulent, especially not assuming the money isn't sitting in an account at the other end waiting to be transferred back. You probably don't want your disputes department providing an adequately detailed explanation of the reasons they reached a particular decision either.
And you know this how?

When they launched chrome, the browser wars had long since been won. Everyone who knew what a browser was had installed firefox, and everyone else thought IE was the internet. Just because you ignored the ads doesn't mean the general public did. It sounds like you're being biased.

If you're going to attribute Chrome's growth to "accidental clicks on ad manipulation" instead of the massive awareness campaign, you're going to need to provide proof.
And if you go back far enough you can also talk about the crusades, the Romans invading Africa, the Greeks invading the middle east... and well, I don't know, you can certainly come up with more ideas.

Looks like we still have about 2000 more years of self deprecation here in Europe fellas, so that we can finally atone for the things our ancestors did.

But only we, cause all the crap that African empires and Islamic empires did in the past are obviously of no concern. They should automatically be forgiven and forgotten... we don't, obviously, we have to pay trough all eternity.

> It seems like you're perfectly content if Googappazon turns around and voluntarily sells "your" data to governments, since you've consented for them to use it.

Use it under the limited license you agreed to. Not to use it for any purpose at all. This is disingenuous rubbish and you know it.
But was it an opinion?

When members of a group discuss policy for that group, they do so under the implicit assumption that their values are similar enough that what they are doing in the conversation is trying to find a way to achieve their shared values.

But the great-great-great-grandparent comment was simply a statement of values, not a suggestion of how parties concerned could achieve theirs.

I realize the lines are fuzzy: HN is certainly not a 'murican forum for 'murican issues. But its composition is such that neither is it a non-American forum. As such, the greatx3-grandparent could have been more sensitive.
You say that you don't want (your data) to be abused and you don't want to have problems because of that. Nobody wants that in any other case. It's not that special. Only the subject has changed to digital data on the internet.

(German guy here. My english could be bad.)
Three points:

1. There are many other things that can cause escape analysis to fail. You can also capture references to a value in an opaque function, send it over a channel, etc. etc.

2. There is no semantic difference between stack and heap (modulo when finalizers run). The only thing the language says is that object is guaranteed to be destroyed when it is no longer referenced. The compiler can fulfill this obligation sometimes through stack obligations, but that's done through a set of heuristics. The language says nothing about this (and the FAQ states this quite explicitly).

3. Java does the same thing. The HotSpot JVM will use escape analysis to perform SROA (which is an important optimization). Note that escape analysis is independent of value vs. reference types; Java has much fewer value types, but it can still do escape analysis. This is because value/reference and stack/heap are orthogonal.
From clicking the link, I don't actually understand what it does? There's a box with Google.com in it, and the getting started button wants me to sign up...

Maybe a bit more information to actually explain would be helpful.

Also, why 10080 for paid, not 10000? I don't know why, but it makes me feel uneasy.
I love how you knew you had to tie those beliefs back to white European Christians somehow to sell this viewpoint.
I don't want to pay extra taxes to help foreigners, I'll gladly donate money to charities. But the second my country started demanding I pay taxes to help refugees, all my income moved over to HK.

And no, I don't have a problem with refugees, I'm glad to help them. I have a problem with the state _forcing_ me to help them.
Not OP but maybe you want to restart from the beginning at times because you've forgotten what you had read.
I first found this story in a collection of Unix horror stories several years ago: http://www.yak.net/carmen/unix_horror_stories

I had elaborated why the distinction between the two is but a tiny epsilon in the second paragraph. I removed the second part of the sentence you quoted so perhaps people will continue reading rather than having a knee-jerk.

There is no "license" (in the sense of copyright) for the collected data, so there are no builtin penalies for violating the contract. Theoretically a company could commit to $10k in liquidated damages per deliberate privacy violation, but this could be done today so I'll consider it when I actually see such a term in a contract, especially for a free service.

Since you think it appropriate to dismiss me as deliberately writing "disingenuous rubbish", I would kindly ask you to elaborate what you believe my motive is for doing so.

There is certainly a powerful motive to defend private surveillance companies, even if it's just people wanting to believe in what they're creating.

There's not much to gain with smiley faces. In the best case they accompany a statement that is already kind/appropriate/respectful. In the worst case, they are used to excuse statements that are not, pretend something mean is a joke, or otherwise "soften the blow".

How many users did the Firefox sponsorship deal net?
A little inefficiency—not much, just enough to be a speed bump—is a good thing on the HN front page, because it interrupts the usual internet reflexes. Reflexive responses, being predictable, are not interesting. What we want are reflective responses. Reflection is a slower process, requiring a pause. So I think it's good if we readers have to work a little: it slows us down, and maybe activates better circuitry.
I think we broadly agree.

What I'm pointing at is that the GAD criteria, as with the criteria for many diseases, is not, "Hey patient, is this a problem for you?" It's a judgment by the clinician over whether the impairment is significant. That's generally fine with wise clinical judgment and clear signals of illness. (E.g., there's little dispute over whether a broken leg is a problem.) But I think there are issues when things are only a problem for other people, or only a problem because other people are different. There I think applying the disease model can be mixed, both helpful (when it allows addicts to get the support they need) and harmful (when different people are treated as broken).

See, for example, the literature on medicalization of deviance: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=deviance+and+medicaliza...

This is especially problematic in the US because medicalization is not just socially convenient, but frequently profitable.

I also agree that people casually using diagnostic language is a problem. Indeed, I think it's closely related to the problem that concerns me, where people take traits that are helpful in some contexts and harmful in others and declare them to be diseases.
I am tempted to go public with the form but right now, I enjoy the novelty. I also barely have the time to keep up with the requests.

Many websites with pop-up ads (Forbes, etc.) display a 2-5s timer countdown to dismiss the ad and view the content, which engages users long enough to stay on the site. This games the bounce rate and would defeat a solution that is base solely on on it.

No, I was diagnosed by two psychiatrists (I wanted a second opinion). That is sounds like "life" to you is the point - people without AD/HD make those kinds of judgments of those of us who DO have it.

EDIT: I guess that means either you don't have AD/HD, or just something else that inflates your sense of your abilities. Maybe you're just addicted to the rush of the looming deadline? I don't know. I'm not a psychiatrist.

Interesting project. Vim is riddled with issues and we badly need a replacement (coming from a dedicated Vim user). Currently VimR and NeoVim are in the lead for tackling some of the hard problems (async calls, a real plugin system, obvious features like fuzzy finder with good UI integration, etc).

I found this part amusing: "What did Bram Moolenaar say". After using Vim for a few years, and seeing his design choices, I wouldn't personally be interested in his opinion of an editor!

JPMorgan Athena | NYC and London | Full Time | ONSITE

I expect you’ve heard of JPMorgan at some point, but probably aren’t familiar with Athena. We’re the bank’s in-house platform for cross-asset pricing, risk management, trade management, e-trading, etc.. There’s a core division (cleverly named “Athena Core”) of about 150 engineers which builds a platform and development libraries that are then used by over 5,000 developers throughout the bank.

The Core Analytics team currently has 8 members and is responsible for extending Athena to research teams and for reducing the gap between research and production use. To give a simplified example, our typical customer is a quant who might be attempting to create a new pricing model. Core Analytics would help him access relevant data sets, explore that data with a library of common statistical functions to, verify the new model with a back-testing framework, and then finally publish the model to production.

Python and C++ are the primary languages, but we’re open to considering exceptional developers with any background. Finance experience is certainly not required. Our two main offices are in NYC and London; we also have satellites in Tel Aviv, Tokyo, and Singapore.

Email Christine.h.ko@jpmchase.com to apply.

Well, as a kid I clobbered my windows install while trying to destructively check the validity of a disk. Checks to see if a filesystem is mounted won't protect you if it isn't.

Since then I've been -extremely- careful for any destructive operation on block devices, and generally careful otherwise.

Also, I don't know if blkid existed at the time, but it's /very/ useful in avoiding those types of mistakes.

A Most Important Discovery (1953)
Random thoughts:

It's nice to hear about a situation closer to most startup outcomes. When Matthew notes that someone sent him the acquisition terms and the founders made out well while line level / low level managers basically got nice severances, it's something everyone here should keep in mind. It's great if founders make out well as long as everyone else does too; it's when those outcomes diverge that it rankles.

If a potential employer tries to put nonsense like a 2-year noncompete -- during which of course they don't pay you -- plus ownership of side projects into your contract, it's a sign you're dealing with assholes. If you can, you should just walk away. Many of us live in CA, so some of this can't happen, but a startup here tried something similar: their 16 page (!!!) employment contract specified that if I used my personal media device or laptop for any business purpose, they had the unlimited right to inspect/search them on demand. By my reading, even something as tenuously related as two factor auth on work gmail being sent to my personal cell, or taking a business call on my cell would have counted. The founder tried to blame it on boilerplate their lawyers inserted; he couldn't even take responsibility for what was, after all, the contract he was asking me to sign. I walked away. Read those contracts.
