Wonderful, it's the FBI and intelligence agencies that are responsible for radicalising people in order to arrest them later. Presumably some of them drop through the net after they've been successfully radicalised.

Well, least it's consistent with US policy with the mujahideen from Afghanistan against the Soviets.
Most mass murderers' manifestos are political in nature. Whether anyone pays attention or remembers is pretty much the defining characteristic between calling one event mass murder versus calling it terrorism.
I haven't read the documentation, but I can respond to your questions given what you quoted.

1) It seems that way. Presumably, they will require affiliates to follow stricter rules. Even so, you would expect that these affiliates would try their hardest to take advantage of their speed advantage.

2) Pegged orders are essentially orders that the exchange manages for you. For example, if you peg an order at the inside bid, your order will follow the market as it moves around. Essentially, these orders will react with close to zero latency since the exchange itself is modifying them. It's unclear how these orders will be used to game the market, since their logic is so simple and predefined by the exchange.

In terms of time frame, it's just the evolution of technology. For example, processors are clocked in nanoseconds. When your limiting reagent is how quickly you can update based on changes in the world, you need lower latencies. That's one of the aspects of the system that IEX tries to solve, by adding a giant delay to everyone's orders, so that the jitter swallows any small advantage.

One of the concerns of changing the rules, however, is that once smart people start using the system, they will eventually find some new way to game it, landing us not far from where we started.

The way I hear it from reading here, most SV startups spend too much of their funding on beautiful offices and amenities to encourage work as a lifestyle. That also gets a backlash. No blanket statement covers all situations or people—maybe some of those requirements are necessary for a given startup at a given time.
Health education is very important and maybe the most important thing. But if 75% of heart disease went away it would still be a massive killer and worth researching.

Totally agree that life is not that simple, and that people have various strengths and weaknesses.

The boxing is simply a way of summarizing those in a simplified (perhaps overly-simplified) manner.

If a developer is great at coding but a paint to communicate with and has participation issues, that honestly strikes me as a "B player" if communication and participation are key parts of their job. If not, then those factors aren't as important in terms of weighing overall performance, and that could make the same person an "A player" in a role with differing responsibilities.

I also have never worked with someone who is excellent at all facets of their job. The question is, are they excellent enough at the core aspects of the job where their weaknesses are sufficiently offset. And this is where you can compare team members. It all comes down to their responsibilities, the needs of the team/business, and how they are tracking against those.

So to summarize--everyone is indeed unique in terms of strengths and weaknesses. But at some point the weighting of those strengths and weaknesses tends to crystallize into something more easily categorized as a higher-level bucket of "exceptional", "meets expectations" (and that's not a bad thing), or "needs improvement." A/B/C is just a shorthand convention for that.
They have a quite a few articles of substance. However as many publishers are finding out and as buzzfeed also has realized such articles don't make any money.

That's why in addition to their actual journalism they have clickbait that makes them money.
Oh God someone is finally speaking some sense on this topic.
One of the challenges of being a power user is accepting you're going to hit the boundaries of whatever product from whatever company it is.

And "Google pulling the rug from under your feet"... please let's stop this ridiculous meme. Any company is entitled to withdraw a free service, and if you don't agree then go right ahead and develop a replacement for Reader. After five years of development and hosting costs with thankless users demanding new features and old interfaces all for free, I bet you'd pull the plug too.
No - staying primarily to avoid the "job hopper" label, and to finish documentation coverage so that I can avoid burning bridges as much as possible - I am solely responsible for the portion of the product that I work on, no one else at the company even knows the language it's written in (which isn't particularly obscure). There's no way they'll be able to hire a replacement within two weeks, so documentation will be all they have to go on.

An essay on the Riemann Hypothesis by Fields Medalist Alain Connes
This has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen. Huge swathes of the standardised additions to the web platform over the last fifteen years have been inspired or informed by features that were originally included in JS libraries and frameworks. Library and framework developers participate in standards bodies and give feedback to browser vendors (many of them work for browser vendors), and help to drive what goes into the web platform, based on what the implemented, and what they need for their software.

The problem is, software development is a moving target. The current feature-set of the web platform would let you easily build a state of the art application... in 2005. But things have moved on. People's ambitions and expectations for the functionality, responsiveness across devices, performance, aesthetic appeal, touch friendliness, accessibility and offline capability of their web apps has skyrocketed. And at the same time, we've learned more about the coding strategies and patterns that work (and don't work) for writing, large, ambitious web applications.

This is a good thing, because it means the web is moving forward, and so are we. However, it also means we're never going to reach a promised land where the web platform does everything we could ever need it to. There will always be new demands and new technology — retina screens, VR, fingerprint scanners, etc. — and the web platform will need to catch up in those areas. There will always be new frameworks, like React, that overturn existing best practices and experiment with new ways of doing things. This means will always be a need for libraries and frameworks at the cutting edge of web development, to pioneer the paths that can later be paved via standardisation.

We also need to be wary of premature standardisation. Web components have arguably suffered from this, although its proponents couldn't have predicted it when they began. For years, component-based encapsulation libraries/frameworks gained very little traction on the web, and so Google launched an effort to deliver components natively via a set of standardised APIs. However, halfway through their effort, Angular and React blew up, and suddenly everyone was writing components as directives and JSX components. This has caused some friction, because components as implemented by these frameworks (and thus coded by the majority of web devs) don't quite match the vision set out in web components. Web components will still deliver useful features, such as Shadow DOM, which will find use in these libraries, but had the web components effort started after Angular and React had appeared, its design would likely have looked somewhat different.
There are some pretty interesting jobs in Chicago. The third largest tech company in Chicago is HERE maps. As someone who has worked there in the past, it has by far the most interesting work in the city. Want to work on massive machine learning systems to process petabytes of data? Want to work on realtime systems for autonomous and connected cars? Like processing 3d LiDAR data? Like graph algorithms?

Top Gun 2: Time Marches On – A story idea featuring planes vs. drones
i'm glad you didn't read the article and criticize it based on the contents or anything
I always thought that debian's highly complex bureaucracy would keep things like this from happening and make it the immortal distro you can rely on but this is one in the series and I'm reconsidering my opinion. Maybe despite the rock solid processes it's still just a bunch of guys writing code and having arguments like any other project.
You can see the articles each author wrote so you can actually get a good picture on that. It looks like there are some people that only do content farming and others that do a mix of both.
It's insane how prominent talk like that is. At this point HN is like being part of the Muslim community that never says shit against the radical elements in the community. Good response, enough of the alphabet soup bullshit, be a human.
The craziest part is when I happen on Google + accidentally and Google shows me the account I deleted eleven times. Than I am confusing as to whether I have an account or not.
My point is that I've never done that, I've never heard of other people doing that much, and nowhere on the page does it explain how to do that.

But the general confusion that Google+ elicits in people is perhaps best reflected in one of the 'Collections' linked to from the blog post, wherein a woman has shared numerous messages about her personal life under a photo of a vintage calculator.
They key point here though is that their "supporters" are NOT the American public. They are private corporations and banks with their own agendas, usually contrary to the public's well being.
Wouldn't they likely award the money to a group with a good chance of success? People with some experience, and per chance ideas they think would work if they had the money to test them out? Wouldn't those people already work in an existing lab?
The experience is pretty awful. I am on a community of Computer Science students and it's hard to find threads I get updates for in my e-mail because they are horribly categorized. On the view you attached, you'll find it incredibly hard and annoying to focus on a particular thread. When viewing within a thread, you still have to expand each comment, and so on.

Definitely a case of style over function. It's really frustrating.
Is it just the presence of "tests" that are going to provide this ease of mind for these hypothetical future users? And exactly how would these desired tests provide demonstrable help for maintainability. It's a small project. The creator knows what it does. If s/he adds more features, I'd be willing to bet s/he will know if s/he breaks something.

Moreover, who is to say these desired tests actually test anything meaningful. If there was a set of tests, would you actually read through the tests to determine they did something substantial and meaningful for the project, and weren't just terrible nonsense added in that don't actually test anything at all that matters? Or would you simply see there were tests and feel this peace of mind and think to yourself they will help for maintainability (maintenance you probably aren't doing yourself).

In short, is it tests you want, or simply peace of mind?

I feel like the strength of Erowid stems from it's non-judgmental stance. There's no encouragement or discouragement towards any substances, they just try to convey the knowledge that is available about psychoactive substances.
That's a very interesting theory. It sounds plausible. However, do you have any sources to back this up?
Wow that looks like a nightmare. If I went into that space for an interview, I would runaway quick. I wonder if most of their employees are support. I can't imagine getting any kind of dev work done in that environment.

Ok, so let me spell it out then: Geert Wilders is seen by a surprisingly large number of people who really should know better as a 'great leader' and a 'strong man' who will lead us out of this mess. The biggest thing on 'our side' is that NL is a crappy little country and that we don't have a functioning army (or at least, not a very large one) due to budget cuts over the last couple of years. But Mr. Wilders is taking a lot of leaves out of the playbook of Mr. Hitler, who - just to remind you - was also voted into power. He's positioning himself as the solution to a problem, a problem that has been on the minds of many. The idea that once in power he won't be quite as bad is hilarious, he's been playing his cards very close to his chest, runs his 'party' as a one man show with a puppet faction backing him up in the chambers of parliament and will no doubt make at least an attempt to deliver. At a minimum his plans will set NL back about 25 years in international relations, his policies are strongly isolationist (return to the guilder, close the borders, withdraw from various treaties and so on) and his stance on freedom of religion and such will make NL the laughingstock of the EU at best and a pariah at worst. Once NL is successfully isolated from the influence of the rest of the EU I expect him to reveal his real playbook. Whatever it is it can't be much good given what we've seen to date.

This is a very scared, very scary person who is pushing every emotional button available with his policies and rhetoric who has the backing of a much too large segment of the country already. If you had told me 25 years ago that this would happen in NL I would not have believed you but I'm witnessing it. This whole thing started with the murder of a guy called Pim Fortuyn, the previous populist (who at least made some sense some of the time), he would have done some damage but not enough to seriously threaten the country. The segment woken up by the voice of Fortuyn was then handily co-opted by Wilders, who is now in an excellent position to put his play-book into action. It's super scary to watch friends and even relatives succumb to this idiots words and to hear his words being echoed by people dear to you.

It's like watching a re-run of Germany, ca. 1935, and then too people were saying 'Oh, it won't be that bad, he's just going to wake up when he actually has power' and we all know how that one ended.

Again, fortunately, NL is a crappy little country, but don't forget that Hitler came from Austria, not from Germany to begin with, who knows what his plans are. There is a large body of similar minded people in Belgium, and a much larger one still in France led by one Marine Le Pen. You can bet they're planning some sort of collaboration (too early to call it an anschluss) once they have managed to capture some power.

It's like watching the periscope of a submarine moving through a flotilla of merchant boats.
It's not app specific - but Alex Turnbull of the oft-linked groovehq did a detailed blog post about his outreach strategy: https://www.groovehq.com/blog/1000-subscribers .

Definitely not denying it. I think the problem is compounded by the decentralized nature of Sunni Islam, leading to a multitude of autonomous and uncontrollable groups... That and the availability of funding from the gulf states...
How do you find out what the usual salary is for the kind of work that you do?
People don't talk about their salaries because they seem to think it's impolite, and websites like Glassdoor are useless (for me) because it's impossible to figure out what job titles at different companies correspond to what I do. (I also work for a small company where no one has exactly the same job as me.)

How do you guys get around these problems and find out what level of salary you should be looking for?
It's kind of like the difference between helping your own family and a stranger.

If I take a stranger in, I will throw him/her out if they do unacceptable things.

With family, I may not throw them out.

Refugees etc. are not born in the U.S. = strangers.

U.S. citizens born here = family.
I find the 25 mins difficult at times too; partially because of distractions, and partially because I let myself be distracted by them.

If I can't do a full one, I cut the next one down by 5-10 mins and try the shorter time period. If I CAN get that one done, I add 5 mins. Repeat until I'm down to 5 minute tasks or 25 min pomo's.
Hi, I'm an engineer on the Bitnami team working on Stacksmith. If you’re already comfortable maintaining your image stack, keep writing Dockerfiles manually.

We don't think that the average Python developer should have to know apt, yum, apk, the packaging multi-verse, and bash just to get a secure environment where ‘pip install’ works reliably.

We created Stacksmith to help application developers keep their container images up-to-date with ease, without having to worry about the underlying stack too much, whilst still giving completely visibility into what's inside. This opens up the benefits of containers to a much wider audience of developers over time.
It shifts the problem so that every bot is waiting for the end of each second to gather as much information as possible from external sources before placing its orders. So when a human trader places a market order, they will have a disadvantage equal to the volatility over 1 second. By contrast, in a real-time market, the HFT bots make your market orders very close to the current price everywhere else.

It's not clear to me that batching actually solves all our problems. It might be better, but it doesn't seem 100% clear cut.
Quite a few of them are murdered by ISIS within the first couple of days once they wake up and smell the roses. The remainder then dances to the tunes of their new masters.
Debian said the packager was not up to their standards of bureaucracy.

It does not respect the impossible requirements (multi-archi, grub2, UEFI compliant).

So they are making a committee to fix the situation.

And maybe when all archi but x86 will have died and optical storage will do at least 34gb, they maybe able to ship a 5 stages bootstrapper that ABI may boot debian in one decade, and have emacs an optional requirements even if you have only 640Mb RAM.
The interesting thing, for me, is that I recall the "golden age" of cross-platform GUI widgeting toolkits to be 1997-2001. AWT, Swing, SWT, wxWidgets, Qt, Gtk, Tk, MFC, XUL, and many others.

And this coincided almost perfectly with the rise of the web and the end of desktop GUI supremacy. The few big desktop successes in the 2000s (uTorrent, DropBox) often used no framework at all or had minimalist UIs where they used little-known corners of the OS but moved the heavy interface lifting to the web.

I'm wondering if this is part of the general pattern of things reaching perfection just as they become obsolete. Right when a technology reaches mainstream adoption, everyone has an opinion about how to do it "right", and right as it reaches mainstream adoption, all the major opportunities have been plucked clean.
Why not disable proguard on dev and then let CI compile with proguard on?
This was pretty cool. I think folks really need to watch the demo in the closing video when it gets published. I think the most catchy sentence in the demo was “you can finally show your kids what is this containers thing you are working on”. :)
Neat, though I read the name as "Not IE" at first.

I started off as a designer before learning to program and I have a minor unhealthy attachment to the design and composition of functions. I've been learning Erlang recently and I have to say Erlang's pattern matching and list comprehension make it one of my favourite languages in terms of design (I should note I'm also a fan of Scheme/Clojure style which I know many people aren't).

It certainly didn't appear that way when I first came across Erlang, as it's not always readable to the uninitiated (and nearly turned me off the language) but brilliant for those that are familiar with it.

Elixir has also done a good job of translating it for people who like Ruby-style syntax, I prefer the flexibility of the more verbose Erlang.
> I also understand that old testament (I am not christian) is just as bad but I was under assumption that the old testament was a carry over from Christianities Jewish roots, and the new testament supersedes it?

Christian differ on the effect of the NT on the OT, since the NT contains both material that seems on the simplest reading to endorse the OT law in full, material which seems on the simplest reading to provide different and simpler rules than those in the OT law, and material which seems on the simplest reading to explicitly limit the application of most OT laws.

In practice, you end up with a whole spectrum of ideologies among Christians (and the same is true of Muslims.)
Everything is too big. Must zoom out. I bought this big screen to see more stuff, not because I'm blind. Also the animation should be optional--sluggish and annoying. It feels slow, like too much Javascript, bad coding. The "collections" looks like a copy of Pinterest. People tab is not working at all for me--it's just broken.
What I don't understand is why, with Moore's Law and all, my builds take just as long today as they did 20 years ago.
My guess is most of the employees are support & sales which are generally lowering paying positions. Considering all of the complaints on the other recent HN thread, they most likely need a lot of support to hold down the fort.
