Apologies. That does appear to be the case.
Kinda depends on if it's more important to be on time vs complete. Sometimes hitting a window of time is more important than getting the feature done perfectly, like for an industry event that could build buzz, or a specific holiday season where being late means a lot of lost sales. The worst deadlines are fixed ones for no point, though.
Which is a nice abstraction, but really fails with a little reflection. Bugs, shouldn't really have long lifecycles, dependency chains, target dates, etc... Features need these things but don't have wontfix, notabug, multiple branch targets, and discussions about reproduction. Which is why i always like running two different processes and joining the results at release mgmt/source tree level.
SEEKING WORK - New Jersey, New York, Remote

Hi! I am a freelance iOS developer. I specialize in building apps for startups! Previously, I've worked for Fitocracy and this year I've helped launch Charlie App's iOS app. I have three secret client projects that should be launching in the next month as well and I'm happy to chat about them privately.

I mostly work remotely, but I'm happy to work on-site for up to two weeks at the start and end of projects. I find it helps get things going much more quickly. I'm also available on-site in Central NJ (but not NYC, sorry! that train is killer).

You can find my personal site here:

http://www.juliusparishy.com/

I'm also building an agency. Check it out: http://jaymobile.io/

If you're looking for a developer that has done the startup life and knows how to balance velocity and code quality as needed to get your app launched, I'm your guy. I champion unit testing but I know how to get dirty when I need to. Don't waste any time, get in touch sooner than later — I'm generally booked 2-3 months forward. Currently I'm accepting projects for January 2016.

You can reach me via email: hello@juliusparishy.com

Both of you commenting in this chain are correct.

The Japanese "gentleman's agreement" was a limit on power of 207Kw. Towards the end, many of the cars hit by this were making more than that at the wheels, let alone the crank. It was possible to gain 50Kw on certain WRXes and Evos with a different air intake and exhaust, they were so restricted.

Also, for a while there was an "agreement" that sports bikes wouldn't go faster than 300km/h - they didn't limit them, the end of the speedo was 300km/h.
Lots of R1s and Hyabusas will be revving somewhere in the middle of their rev range at 300km/h in top gear, then you can wind on another 4-5-6 thousand rpm, while the speedo stays pegged at 300km/h. You are, of course, going faster than that.
Atlassian could just as well title all of their engineers as "developers" and claim not to have an engineering team; the claim they're making is only true in a very narrow and ultimately meaningless sense.

They pay people to convince other companies to buy their product. The claim of "no sales people" stems from the fact that they only talk to people who contact them, rather than cold-calling.

This is, interestingly, also what the sales team at my company does. They are pretty sure they're doing sales, though, so we call them that.
> "I started getting requests from users wanting niche data,” says Brewer. “For example, I was being asked if I could put together a list of sites in Australia using a CDN or that were using Magento for their ecommerce stores. Everyone asking was saying they would be willing to pay for it."

Sounds a little sketchy, like people looking for vulnerable software.
Where is that? (google did not help..)
For so long we've heard "consumers don't care about privacy" and a lot of companies have seen success based on that idea. Now Apple is challenging that status quo, differentiating themselves from their competitors and offering consumers a choice on privacy. I can't see that as anything but good.
Was just about to post this. Though I map Caps-Lock to Esc through xmodmap so it works everywhere instead of just in Vim.
> Why those companies want CISPA? Because it removes all liability from them when they share the data without a warrant. Basically we no longer will be able to sue them for violating our privacy.

Nothing in CISPA allows them to violate their EULA.

If they had EULAs that violated your privacy in the first place, then that's a problem between you and the company, independent of CISPA.
The commands you mentioned along with "ci'", "ci[", and "ciW" to replace all text between delimiters have been some of my favorite to use. It really annoys me when my terminal's vi-mode doesn't support "ci" (I think it's vim-only).
Cool product. I always wanted something like this when I was more interested in architecture than coding.

I opened this in another tab and went back to coding. I was wondering why everything started to slow down. Then I looked at how much memory chrome was easting again.

Anyways, site looks nice, but the UX is another story. You might want a copywriter, and speed up your site by alot. Also, might want to change the header fonts and color. I find some stuff hard to read.

Great tutorial. About 20 years ago, I was a Level 4 user (by the article's definition), but that knowledge faded with disuse. When I switched back to a Linux/UNIX machine about a decade ago, I started using vim again (well, I started using vi again, but it was vim), and remembered a lot of Level 1 and 2 stuff, and could recall being able to do more, but never had the motivation to crawl through the man page to force myself to recall how I did more.

This article is so logically laid out I think anyone could get to at least Level 3 with the article and a few hours diligent practice. Level 4 would then beckon....

When I became a serious sed - and then ed - user, I became a much better (faster, more productive) vi/vim user when I didn't need to be in visual mode all the time.
Erdos did a lot of work with primes, which if you're searching for patterns looking in binary makes a lot more sense than base 10.

For an example of base-10 centrism that I'm talking about (not specifically Erdos, but from the biography "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers" on page 106 there is a discussion of Stan Ulam writing integers in a spiral and finding primes connected by diagonals. What possible meaning does this pattern have outside of base 10?

This is the part of number theory that confuses me: why should such pattern finding matter, outside of base 10?
Note that 28 USC §1400 is still in force; the Congress did not choose to remove the limits on patent case jurisdiction when it expanded other jurisdiction. It's right there in the US Code in black letters with no ambiguity.

But the notoriously corrupt patent appeals court -- the CAFC -- in its first decade of existence, abolished 28 USC §1400 by fiat.

The patent trolls went into business in East Texas soon after.
That lazy-loading isn't really working well, scrolling down through the page quickly leaves me with a white webpage all the way down...

Haha, "refusing reboots". You know what happens to our work PCs when you click "postpone"? Fuck you, that was your warning. If you disregard it, in five minutes you get another 20 second warning to desparately hammer "Save" before your system force-reboots.

San Francisco - ONSITE - https://interviewed.com

We're Interviewed (YC S15) and we build job simulations.

We're taking the parts of hiring that work for developers and applying it to non-technical jobs. We know that resumes don't predict who will be a great hire. Instead, the way to identify the best candidate is to let them work on real-world problems in their native habitat. We think the same thing is true for customer service, sales, marketing, and lots of other roles. That's what we do…

Here are some of the engineering challenges on our roadmap:

- Reduce the latency for transcription of audio files to near real-time

- Design sophisticated UIs using React + Flux or Backbone to let our customers build their own simulations (imagine Wufoo on steroids)

- Chat bots (text and voice) that simulate complex customer interactions and are tailored for different roles

- NLP and machine learning algorithms to analyze emails, chats and voice recordings, score them across a variety of dimensions and predict who the best candidates are

- Video streaming and analysis
I use Neo4j for two projects at the moment, though I make pretty heavy use of the REST api as I'm not working on the JVM. What advantages does Stardog have over Neo4j?
That's set or category theory.
I prefer to avoid remappings so that I can use vim at any machine without having to figure things out, so my preference for escape is Ctrl-[. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you get it, left hand never has to reach up anymore.
Ad tracking has certainly evolved - Google, Facebook, et al have built successful enterprises out of tracking every detail of people's web browsing. But targeting? AdWords still only coughs up ads that coincidentally include a random keyword I was searching for, devoid of context, or attempts to sell me something I've just bought.
as others pointed out, 2000 is when he founded Fog Creek, not when he started programming. He was in MS when Excel was still competing against Lotus, so that salary is likely from the '90s.
I pulled this up first in a mobile app that strips out CSS and JS. I started reading the copy and thought that someone had a grandiose satire page trying to sell a pad of paper as a device. I kept waiting for them to talk about a real time communication network involving stamps and grandparents.

EDIT: I know that complaining about downvotes is stupid, but I'm curious what might have invited them in this comment? A bit cavalier perhaps, but they had me genuinely fooled without the javascript to load the images. Any insight?
All good editors support regular expressions.
Wouldn't the same apply to every programming language?
Exactly. I've ordered from Amazon more than 700 times in the last 5 years. I usually start my product search on Amazon, and if they have what I need and the price seems reasonable, I often won't even check NewEgg, Ebay, Google shopping, etc.

Intentionally reduce your selection for customer-hostile reasons like this and I probably move some of my product search traffic to start with Google shopping, which is bound to cost them more than what they make from the incremental video rental I might make. It's not like I'm not going to have multiple Apple TVs in my house anyway...

He does have a point. Using vi derivatives does seem a tad spartan today, and I've personally never been a fan of vi, nor of emacs, but much of the community has this pseudo-elitist dichotomy set up around those two editor families.

I'm not really a fan of what passes as IDEs, either, but I generally am not attached to any particular editor and hop around them.

(The right answer to vi vs. emacs is, of course, Acme.)
Chromecast support is not really simple, considering Amazon probably uses a different DRM system than the one Google implemented.

> profits from exploiting factory workers in countries where workers have less rights and where labour is cheap

At least in China, the "exploited" workers you speak of have chosen to work at factories rather than do the kind of farm labor their parents did. Do you think they would be better off if they were not able to make such a choice? If they were paid the same wages a factory worker in Norway might receive, do you think the manufacturer would choose to open a factory in China?

You describe Cook as just another evil businessman, whereas I suspect he has done more, practically speaking, to lift people out of poverty than most.
I personally use my own custom software for many design tasks, and I can tell you from personal experience that better color models make a dramatic improvement. But my methods are currently highly technical and idiosyncratic and closer to experiments than polished tools for non-programmers.

Since the “proof” here involves low-level changes to design tools that have had millions of man-hours of work put into them and don’t provide end-user-accessible hooks into their low-level guts, it isn’t easy for me to “prove” anything to you via Hacker News comment: your “proof” would basically need to be a rewrite from scratch of these complex tools, and I haven’t yet spent the several years of implementation work it would require.

It is a long-term goal of mine though to make a series of products. Knock on wood.

If you want to see real-world examples, some professional color-grading software aimed at film production (for instance Apple’s Final Cut Pro) uses the IPT model. Even in Adobe tools, there is certain limited support for CIELAB, which is not perfect but far better than RGB. Here’s a book about it http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321356780 .... unfortunately these all still have shitty user interfaces for interacting with colors, but it’s better than nothing.

In the physical world, artists and designers have been using the Munsell Book of Color in various incarnations for >100 years with great success. You can buy your own for $1000: http://www.pantone.com/munsell-book-of-color-matte-edition
Their roots are in contact with the water, or at least with soacked soil.

Looks like an expensive and inefficient version of placing aquatic plants there. Maybe there's no good aquatic plant adapted to there.
It's not that hard to dose out. Mix 10 grams of caffeine into 1L of water to obtain a 1% solution. Mix 100 grams of your primary solution into 1L of water to obtain a 0.1% secondary solution.

Every gram of secondary solution now has a milligram of caffeine. 2 tablespoons of secondary solution is roughly equivalent to a cola.
"Software patents are pitched as a policy choice that encourages programmers by giving them some financial incentive to invent more software.
That's how they have been pitched to programmers and the American people."

And after all that PR and propaganda from the patent bar programmers are firmly and solidly against the existence of any patents that read on software. Too many are able to think logically about the consequences to be scammed.

Congress, on the other hand, is not so hard to fool. Neither is the Supreme Court. That's why the dirge of lies continues. The patent bar is still going on about how patents will eventually stop harming and start promoting innovation in software.

Meanwhile patent lawyers are the highest earners in the profession, don't have to deal with criminals and the indigent, and expand in numbers every year by exponential parasitism while the software industry lives in fear and hides innovative techniques out of fear.

I taught front end at GA earlier this year. I can't speak at all to the immersive program, except that it seems pretty comprehensive.

My students came from many different backgrounds, and some seemed to get a lot more out of it than others. Some took tremendous advantage of office hours and 1:1 mentoring. Others barely tried. To some, it seemed to come completely naturally, others struggled even with all they help they could get. For something like front-end, there are so many ways to do it wrong, and so much bad (and outdated) information out there, that it really pays to have the mentoring, even for th students to whom it comes naturally.
Hilarious. This was one of the first jobs I ran on the 200 machine hadoop cluster with the webmap on in 2006 when I joined Yahoo. It took an hour to run.
Wouldn't it be more efficient to burn it? It's going to convert to carbon dioxide anyway.
It's definitely more efficient. I've had it mapped that way for years, and after a short time it basically became a single keystroke.

The efficiency doesn't come from the fact that it's not as far to reach. The efficiency comes from the fact that you don't have to find home row with your left hand again and can continue your command sequence immediately.
Racial violence and media complicity
This recent string of news stories makes me wonder, how many other products do also cheat on tests like this? Does this mean that our energy usage projections are seriously underestimated, and we're even more fucked than we thought?
I disagree about it being socially driven. My crazy theory: They are fun and a lot more fun than the games of our youth. They also emotionally can be played for laughs, stressfully, be relaxing, or very exciting. They work and work well.

I think everyone should see if there is a board gaming group in your area and give it a try.
Or because they don’t support the specific DRM system used?
Apple has admitted to giving the US government information.

So they don't run algorithms over your meta-data, instead they just give your personal info the the government.

I'm aware Google does comply with government requests too, but also attempts to push back and keep the government honest.
‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
There is no universal solution. Every product will have users who find it hard to use. Speaking out about the fact that you find it manageable is valuable information and may show that there are more users who find it easy to use than not.
If you had actually tried to explain what a "template" was in words it would have helped a great deal. My assumption was that they were fixed text structures and you could fill in the blanks, but comments seem to indicate they are actually more like database schemas.
Thanks for this tutorial. I'm at Level 1 having switched from an IDE (PyCharm) and I find this helpful. Any reason why you use Pathogen vs Vundle for managing plugins? Does it even matter?
I made this sample using SocketCluster (I'm the main author): https://github.com/socketcluster/sc-sample-inventory - I wrote a basic realtime CRUD module/layer using SC's internal in-memory storage: https://github.com/SocketCluster/sc-sample-inventory/blob/ma....

That was just for experimenting, now I'm working on a proper version using RethinkDB with a better realtime CRUD interface. My solution doesn't rely on RethinkDB's changefeed feature though, so you should be able to implement a similar binding for any database. WORK IN PROGRESS: https://github.com/SocketCluster/sc-crud-rethink

Basically, the realtime pub/sub layer sits directly on top of the database such that any change made to the database must pass through that layer (The pub/sub layer is responsible for notifying relevant subscribers - Not the database).
There's a similar chrome extension that's pretty accurate called Wappalyzer: https://wappalyzer.com/

This popular talking point conveniently ignores that ads not the only way companies can benefit form spying.

The HN crowd absolutely loves using "analytics" to try and divine ways to make their products more profitable. Microsoft even uses this as an excuse for Win10's "telemetry" spyware: they say it's to improve the product. Yet when Apple spies on its users, suddenly it's ok because Apple isn't an ad company.

Apple is using this topic to attack their customers, but they are not exactly on moral high ground.
It supports both property graphs and semantic graphs seamlessly, plus a bunch of other powerful features Neo4j can't touch like virtual graphs (http://docs.stardog.com/#_virtual_graphs), integrity constraints (http://docs.stardog.com/#_validating_constraints), explanations (http://docs.stardog.com/#_explaining_reasoning_results), versioning graphs with a Git-like model (http://docs.stardog.com/#_versioning), user-defined rules (http://docs.stardog.com/#_user_defined_rule_reasoning). And it supports all of TinkerPop3 including Gremlin.

It also has full REST support for non-JVM apps.

Stardog is a better graph database, but especially when integrating heterogenous data in the graph is key to success.
That's awesome; thanks for sharing. To me, the managed aspect where I don't have to worry about monitoring the hard drive space is a big win.

I'm not considering myself an expert, but the front page doesn't look interesting to me. Maybe in your case it would make more sense to learn from front pages, similar to Expedia/Kayak. At the very least, A/B test it.
Won based on what criteria?

Atlassian has over 1,100 employees. When I was at Fog Creek we had ~30.

So if we're talking about profit per employee, I can assure you the people who built FogBugz don't feel like they've lost anything.
exactly. Those are the scenarios where I always end up needing more battery life. Even a slightly busy day where I don't have a chance to charge after leaving home in the morning can sometimes result in a pretty low battery by the end of the day.

I got an Android phone at Google IO one year that was the latest and greatest. It lasted between 1-2 hours on a full charge. A friend of mine bought the same model and had to carry around two spare battery packs.

Clearly nobody tests phones for normal usage patterns before deciding how much battery is enough. To make matters worse, once the phone is over a year old, battery life is typically about 80% of what it was when new.
"It costs millions of dollars to run these operations"

It costs millions on the defense side. The plaintiffs don't have any documents to discover and the attorneys are usually the partners in the scam, so it's almost free to them. That's the whole point of trolling in East Texas: the court rules make it even more expensive to be a defendant and cheaper to be a plaintiff.

There's nothing spartan about it. Vim has tons of plugins. Using it as a Javascript editor, I've got syntax highlighting, git integration, linting, code completion, and more.
Yeah, I've seen them too. But they don't save (maybe the do) the images. And most importantly for me, no undo button. I'll keep with my note pro 12.2 for now.
