It captures an optimistic spirit of the culture about as well as Hunter S. Thompson talking about the middle 60s:

DUKE (V/O): Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas.

(he gets up, pours himself a drink.)

DUKE (V/O): Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime -- the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense
of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.

DUKE throws open the curtains. Light streams in.
Ext. 1965 Stock Footage: We are in San Francisco.
Images of the time flood in.

DUKE (V/O): There was madness in any direction, at any hour... you could strike sparks anywhere there was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle -- that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. our energy would simply prevail.

We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...

DUKE's face is suffused with a sadness and serenity we have never seen before.

DUKE (V/O): So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark -- that place where the wave finally
broke and rolled back.

The memories dissolve into the night skyline of Vegas.
DUKE closes the curtain. The room is in darkness again.
For the record. It is never not the case that if you find a way of doing something very difficult in a particular language, you should look for a way to do it in that language that is not difficult.

That may sound trite, but it's not as bad as it sounds I think. As an example: People want to make their own map (or have a library that provides map) in go, but go just will not play ball. The algorithms and writing styles people had in mind that use map shouldn't be written, and if you legitimately cannot express a concept concisely without it, than that makes go a worse language.
CHEATERS are more likely to cheat at the end, lady. don't lump me in with you "people".
don't think its unnecessarily harsh.

i used to do something like this with a freebsd box and had all the wireless clients dhcp to the freebsd box and route through them while turning off dhcp on the wireless router.

ultimately it was a PITA and i run merlin on my wireless router now and it gives me everything i really used the freebsd box for.

and if you have an IOT thing which is misbehaving and you really need to dig into it more than you can with merlin you can always setup ip forwarding on a linux desktop/server/whatever and force the IOT to use that as a router and MITM your own traffic for that box temporarily.
> ...20 years later that scene is horribly sexist and a sign of the times.

IIRC, (and I may not RC) that scene is Jolie and Miller engaging in sexual role-play. A few moments later, we cut to what's actually going on: the pair is making out on a bed, and their friends have just walked in to deliver good news, but are currently gawping at the spectacle. Jolie notices the gawpers, gets up, calls them something off-color, and we get to hear the good news.

Is my memory of the scene dramatically off the mark, or am I missing the sexism?
> I'd say they were thoroughly egalitarian ("believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities").

For some (not all) libertarians, "equal rights and opportunities" means that a healthy college grad and a schizophrenic homeless person have an equal right to apply for the same job, and if the latter can't get a job or any support and starves to death in the street, society's hands are clean--after all, they had the same opportunity as anyone.

"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
Within the first few minutes they were talking about tor exit nodes. I knew very quickly I'd like the show.
Wouldn't it be better to just keep the changes in a branch in a fork off of the upstream master branch? I would think that git would do a better job at re-applying to newer releases (i.e. merging from upstream master) than what patch(1) can do?
Or Java. Right now I have a web driver that uses standard Java classes for requests but I wonder if NIO would offer significantly better performance.
Also, small satellites have much higher surface area to mass ratios.
The problem isn't lazy-loading. The problem is webpage authors who don't specify the width and height attributes on <image> tags, which allows the browser to correctly flow them before they load.
THIS is why local politics are so much important and yet they receive the least participation.
I think this is something much of the HN crowd can relate to, starting projects and not completing. Great work on finally launching a product. Hopefully I can get to the other side of the tunnel. My goal for this year is to just bring in $1 from something outside my full-time job and hope that snowballs into more motivation and a growing business.
The article is definitely describing an actual management role rather than a team lead role so that's not surprising.
You think that, across computing in general, decimal data types are used more than floats are? I am extremely skeptical. (Or do you have data?)
why? If i am still delivering what I must, and not missing any actual meetings, why do you care? Just the desire for the thrill of forcing your idea of what a workday is unto me?
This could count as collusion and anti-trust.

What happens when a smaller bank that isn't a member of this chain tries to do business with the network? Do these smaller banks lose-out competitively by not being a member? Who is the governing body approving access - the competition?
Yeah, yeah... trade secrets... Hopefully we'll get to see what cool stuff you came up with once it's patent protected. ;)
You are dramatically underestimating Boston and over-estimating Texas.

Boston is one of the hot spots. It's actually really easy to recruit talent as there are a ton of students, it's an interesting, old city, it actually has mass transit, and not everybody is bothered by cold (some people even like it).

San Diego is way better than Austin (just look at the jobs postings and employer numbers), and some people would regard San Diego as second tier. Admittedly, they both probably qualify as the top of the second tier.
I was actually counting him, I've edited my post

I think we're saying about the same thing.

I'm not specifying (and don't believe) that democracy is the best way to resolve a technical debate, but I am saying that once a path is decided, however decided, you pull in that direction or you need to be removed.
Yeah, the SMC reset procedure is pretty opaque. Sounds like you're probably at the point of needing a repair. Hope you're in warranty, although given how these things go I imagine you're probably not.

Brains don't do FLOPS. It is a completely different type of "calculation". Computational benchmarks are only directly comparable when the representations of input and output are the same.
I'm not sure how the UI for this would work, and perhaps it's best left as an idea for a browser extension, but I like the idea of showing a selection of the five or so most recently submitted stories on the homepage, separate from the main articles. It wouldn't be enabled by default, only when an option is selected in the user profile.

I never visit the new section of HN. I really wish I did but I always forget about it. However, if there was a little section for new articles on the homepage (perhaps at the bottom or the side of the page in a box) I'd definitely check some out and upvote the interesting articles.
Can depend on where you live. If you have moved to a new area for a job and have no friends or relatives within 6 hours. Your wife is struck down with a nasty illness and is barely able to get out of bed in order to get to the toilet and you have a chlid who needs taken care of / taken to nursery / school etc
Hoping for updates on:

> But we'll think about it.
Quite so. My youngest is now 24, but I remember those days. I remember thinking that "I thought the idea was that we work together to get this stuff done," and that if the company decided that its interests were more important that the health of my family, then we were going to part company before long.

Now we have "work-life balance", which is a red flag to me, just like hotels putting "quality" in their name, in case you don't notice...
Life doesn't actually stop when you clock in. I think it's reasonable from a business perspective to realize your resources don't work 100% for you 100% of the time.

However, if the company really want to disallow people missing time here and there to deal with family, I really hope they'd never ever ever consider asking them to work before 9, after 5, or on the weekends no matter how high priority the business tasks are. I hope they're the kind of employer that turns off email at 5.

For me, the time I take to deal with my personal responsibilities at work is more than balanced by the time I take to help my employers out outside the hours of 9 to 5.
Also you can pretty much either accomodate or run the risk they'll just leave to somewhere more understanding. Do you want to be rehiring the same position every 2-3 years and in the meantime making people unimaginably hostile to you ('no I want you to ignore your children for an extra hour I probably got for free elsewhere anyway').
About time...I have probably had more bad cab experiences in Vegas than all other cities combined.

One tip: the various Airport Shuttles from McCarran to hotels on the strip/downtown (and back) are a great deal...around $15 total for both ways.
I did this.

Over years I started with a freebsd box with a front wired network to a DSL link that had no other clients physically connected to it, with wireless and wired backend cards in it to serve the client networks... To a system where the freebsd router had a single drop and two interfaces and did routing between them and DHCP'd for the client network (and the physical network was bridged between wireless and wired by the wireless router I had bought)... To a system where I just have a wireless router and don't worry about it that much any more. I get traffic stats, connected clients, etc which is mostly what I need to know about. Its nice being able to sniff all your wireless traffic at the AP, its also nice being able to tcpdump all your transit, but ultimately the complexity wasn't worth the flexibility for me.
We are not a Democracy in America we are a Democracy/Republic leaning a lot on the side of Republic. Don't avoid just voting and making sure people pay attention to you as opposed to the Rich White Elderly that get Medicade and Social Security could possibly be because they are the majority of the voters.

When I help in campaigns I always focus on super voters. I knock on every door. They are white and wealthy. Working class I know one out of every 100 doors maybe?

I like the Tesla interior as it is. It is different in style from BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche interiors. Lots of reviewers say positive things about the interior. So it's not just me.

"Experimental" changes the layout a bit. You can try it by going into the settings (icon at upper right) and changing "Style" to "Experimental".

I think that at this point, "hn" gives you the same thing as "new-hn". I just have an outdated link in my bookmark.
This change just broke the Chrome extension Georgify for HN.
Same here. To motivate myself, I plan on messaging you on here early December to see if you've reached your goal. Hopefully I will have too.
Oh, I don't disagree that the specific method followed by this site is garbage. I just felt that the comment I was replying to was overanalyzing the motives behind a relatively innocuous (if poorly thought out) piece of content.
I worked with a "manager" back in 1999 who didn't understand that Java and JavaScript were two completely different things. His suggestion for everything, literally, was "can't you just write a javascript to fix it?" Fun times.
It all depends how many servers you're using (or how much memory/CPU each has), whether it's architected properly for horizontal scaling, the performance of your proxy servers (if applicable), how much you're stressing the target website, how efficient your HTML parsing is, and whether you need to render CSS/JS pages.

I'm just now finishing a project for an ISP building a cache of webpages using my project jBrowserDriver. They can basically turn on as many VMs as they need to horizontally scale out, and the servers all seamlessly load balance themselves and pull work off a central queue. One important part is to handle failures and crashes, isolating impact to everything else. In this approach, separate OS processes are helpful.
Indeed we are. Gp comment was a "me too" post.
Do you happen to know any good resources for becoming a power-user of DTrace?
This looks absolutely awesome. It is the kind of software I thought the RPi was originally going to ship with.
Right, strict punctuality for punctuality's sake alone is counterproductive. If you want results, measure results. If you want butts in chairs, measure that. But don't confuse the two.

There are some highly talented developers with great interpersonal skills who just happen to have e.g. delayed sleep phase. They might leave "early" to have a normal evening with family or run errands, but then work more at night while they're awake with time to burn.
Curious, why does the link show as green on HN?
I disagree... They've removed functionality from the mobile web interface. Specifically, I'm unable to tag friends when sharing a post. When I share a video link (youtube, etc) it no longer creates a thumbnail or embeds the link as it does on desktop web. I'm unable to tag friends inside new/shared posts, only in comments.

I won't use the full client because it eats my battery, and they separated the messenger interface requiring yet another app with battery eating features.
That doesn't refute Gibbon's position. At best, it shows opinions to be divided.

I understand the appeal of making such a cathartic comment, but I'm trying to discover the root of jedberg's opinion. I expect that the reason behind his opinion will be substantially more nuanced than your comment makes it out to be. :)
The dumb thing that I see is that employers sometimes don't give childless employees the same leeway. Like I had an employer who let mom's leave for their kids, but gave me a hard time when I left to go to a hospital after my brother was in a terrible car accident.

But just plain forbidding dealing with sick children is a horrific policy. Unless you want all your family employees to leave or hate you.
You really have to appreciate the "punk" as much as the "cyber". Especially in his early stuff, Gibson's message is punk --- "cyber" is just a setting.

It made it--just a lot of sites don't use it ( http://caniuse.com/#search=webgl ).

It's not a good idea (for certain reasons isomorphic to what makes OpenGL not a good idea), but it works just fine.
If you wanna telecommute on some days, or need a modified schedule besides the standard 9-to-5, you should just arrange for that.

Having coworkers just showing up and leaving at any random time during the day I think messes with morale/vibe of the office. And as another commentor pointed out, communication. I like to know the general time-range I can find an employee to speak to. I'm old-school and still appreciate face-to-face time over online tools. If the expectation is set at the beginning that "Jane is a telecommuter Mon,Wed,Fri". Ok, that's fine. I don't like the idea of "Jane just shows up whenever she wants to, but she's getting her JIRA tickets done within the sprints and shows up to meetings".

Basically, while schedules definitely don't need to be rigid... they also shouldn't be fully impromptu either. If you're not telecommuting, I believe it is valuable to be physically around during office hours.

I'm looking at this, and the Earley items with the "fat dot" look a heck of a lot like LR(0) kernel items in LALR(1) parser generation.

Then it hits me: it looks like Earley parsing is to LALR(1) (vaguely ) like NFA simulation is to DFA table.

If we look at it at a very high level: Earley is making these items dynamically while scanning the input, and grouping them into sets representing states. Whereas a LALR parser generator will generate the items and group them into subsets statically, while processing the grammar, generating a push-down table driven by lookahead which is then applied to the input.

Analogously, NFA computes sets of states dynamically according to the input, by performing closures on the NFA graph, whereas DFA does it statically in the absence of input.

This result has always been a bit of a head-scratcher for me, in that it seems to require that we increase the pattern size (specifically, the number of back-references). While the result is correct, it seems to run counter to common usage of regular expressions, where the regular expression is fixed and the interest is generally in how fast a given regular expression runs over N bytes of input data.

It feels a bit like informing people that comparing two integers is O(N) because maybe the integers are bignums with N bits each; true, but counter to common usage.
I'd like to see stats of first time URLs pre and post greenification.

It is possible that smoke breaks boost productivity for knowledge workers like programmers. Not so much the smoking part (which may have some effect itself), but simply taking a break could be benificial to total productivity.

One way to look at the first case is as a morale issue. They were excite d to plan and roll out their solution and have been "demoted" to gluing pieces together. Even if not actively wanting the project to fail, they won't be top contributors.
I imagine most of us programming now will be dead by the time (if at all) programming reaches some kind of universal acceptance; think of how long it took for literacy to become universally important, even though reading and writing was done centuries before Gutenberg.

20 years ago, learning programming wasn't as important because the technology just wasn't there to make it a good return on investment. But the value of reading and writing was also relatively minimal when it cost a fortune just to make a single copy of a book. If programming is how we turn human thought into machine-understandable commands and subroutines, and more and more of our work is delegated to machines...it's hard to imagine the long-term argument against learning programming.

If you're on OS X Yosemite, the "sleep wake failure" problem is a well-known issue that is (probably) not hardware-related. I have it, my colleagues (some of whom have brand new machines) have it, and it's probably what you are affected by.

The symptom is that the machine will frequently reboot instead of coming out of sleep. From the looks of things, it's related to the 70-minute sleep-to-standby setting (where the machine will turn itself off), which can be changed with "pmset".

> It's just wrong? That's it?

I would presume the author is rejecting a handful of stereotypes in the quoted statement. I think the author was rejecting the sexist undertones of men being preferable to "women telling [kids] what to do". And the sexist undertones of introducing young men to "a girl who looks like Diahann Carroll." And the tone-deafness of "meet them with a real estate agent." Maybe the author thought showing Vietnam Veterans "a list of jobs" was also tone-deaf.

1) In the earlier article about reparations, there was a large section about real estate red-lining. Importantly, minorities were not allowed to buy houses outside of designated areas. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case...

2) There are any number of reasons that a military veteran may have difficulty finding a job (PTSD?). Suggesting that they simply haven't looked is a little bit insulting. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2013/11/11/re...

3) While there are numerous claims of the importance of male role models, these arguments are dubious. http://www.amazon.com/Raising-Boys-Without-Men-Exceptional/d...

4) I presume the bit about Diahann Carroll is suggesting that black men would get married and stay married if they met a sufficiently sexy woman. I think most people would consider that to be insulting.
It might make a lot of sense actually. It could serve to speed up instinctive responses to stimuli which have been encountered before, i.e. whipping your finger away from a hot surface.
