This is news to me. I suppose it is because I now move into more restricted Internet circles (not so much time to waste as I used to have), but I haven't visited anything Yahoo!-related since 2004? 2005?

Glad to hear they still have a following. I thought GMail and Hotmail were bigger than Yahoo! Mail but what do I know!
I think people have much more relaxed stance towards lying than you think.
Yes

But that's the evolution of technology. First cars were not a significant advantage over horses

Sometimes it is much more efficient from the start (like transistors) but this is rare.
I very nearly managed an application from my iPhone

The Elixr position had a "apply with LinkedIn" which worked surprisingly well (must look into how, that seems a sellable app), and I almost had an online CV to upload. Almost.
Servo is one, but I believe that Rust needs another high profile project targeted to the embedded or low level system world to gain mind share.

Interim OS: Reclaiming the Computer Through Minimalism and Genericity
I remember using AltaVista and finding it really useful. I had a mail account with them. They shut it down.

I miss discovering new search engines (Lycos, Lycos FTP Search, Dogpile, this new one with a stupid named called Google). I didn't use Yahoo! heavily at that time but I did use Geocities pages alot (before they were bought).

Where are the rainbow horizontal rulers now, eh? And marquee tags? They should make a comeback.

Agree with you, the perl community is great.

If you don't yet, I recommend you subscribe to the perl weekly: http://perlweekly.com it's a great, concise overview of what's happening in perl (5 and 6). A very simple, low effort way to give back financially would be to sponsor the newsletter via GratisPay http://szabgab.com/gratipay.html Obviously there are also many other ways, financial and non-financial, to contribute to the community.
Kochi situated in Ernakulam area once known as Cochin is one of the vital seaport in India. Ernakulam is a wide decision for entertainment and vacationer hobbies in the Kerala. What's more, a gigantic degree for shopping. The acclaimed thirteenth century Italian explorer appropriately commented: "if China is the place you profit, then Cochin doubtlessly is the spot where you spend it. Upon landing in Cochin Airport, taxi service will meet you close to the way out zone, he will drive you to destination.The astounding history of this city started when a noteworthy surge in AD 1341 tossed openthe estuary at Kochi, till then an area bolted district, transforming it into one of the finest common harbors on the planet. Kochi along these lines turned into a shelter for marine guests from everywhere throughout the world and turned into the first European township in India when the Portuguese settled here in the fifteenth century.Nowhere else would you appreciate encountering South India in such a savvy thrilling way as this one! This occasion will take you to destination.

He can try to be an asshole, but no one – not even Sir Berners Lee – has the moral right to be an asshole just for the sake of it.

Torvalds behaviour is justified, as he provides, despite the rough tone, constructive criticism.

> How many teenagers are equal to one baby? How many puppies does it take to equal one 80 year old grinch? There is no scenario under which it will work.

Well, this is something we don't expect from humans. No human, except maybe high-ranking businessmen, leaders and armchair ethicists ever does that kind of calculation, because in the usual case we meet them, there is no time. When you're a second before a car crash, you don't count the passengers of the other vehicle and evaluate their relative worth compared to yourself. You swerve, or brake, or generally do whatever you can to not hit them. And so will the self-driving cars, except better. In fact, I think we can avoid the moral issue altogether by just focusing on making it nigh-impossible to surprise an autonomous vehicle in such a way that it won't be able to reach a safe state[0] in time. After we have that, then we may consider optimizing the algorithms to take into account that e.g. the other vehicle is empty, so its suitable to be used as a braking device.

Perl 6 Advent Day 8 – Grammars generating grammars
Targeting the JVM seems like a trending practice nowadays. But I can't really see why it's so great. You'll need to install the JVM to your platform before you can execute anything. You'll also need to install it on your server to serve a web application. I don't know how that works but it sure adds some complexity to the deployment.
You call out activists, but this strategy of hate and othering is mostly used by esteblished political groups and religions.

They just don't have to be as aggressively vocal about it, because they already yield enough power and influence to use a more moderate tone of voice. But what they actually do is equally hateful and vitriolic.
Is it just me or does the physicist flying to meet the south american model fall into the "can't con an honest man" bracket that the author thinks often doesn't apply? He must have noticed that attractive models in his own country weren't lining up to date him, so what did he think was going on here?

The art dealer story had a similar ring, and they mention Bernie Madoff in passing, someone who was beating the market for years, which apparently most clients assumed meant he had access to info to use for insider trading.

While I don't think the ICC situation was fair, I am not convinced that it played a big role in the story of AMD. Was ICC ever really used outside of niche markets, like HPC.

I would bet that most of the mediap layers at the time would have been using hand written assembler for the bits that really needed SSE.
It is great atrticle - but one thing it has backwards - Bernoulli principle is harder to understand than the second Newton law.

Also I don't buy that viscosity argument - viscosity diverts air not down - but vertically. The move down is simple dynamics:

.\

the dot is th air particle - the \ is the wing - when the wing moves the dot is forced down under the wing. The particle moves - and so it gets momentum down. The particle touching the wing is moved by the wing (the wing pushes it down - and the particle pushes it up according to the third law - generating the lift), the other particles are pushed by the particles toughing the lift.
In tech, "places for grown-ups" would be a good start.
Thanks! This is really nice. I find it frustrating to browse remote job ads only to find out at the end, that they mean "remote, but US only".

(Of course I can understand why US companies make this restriction, I just wish other job boards would help them make this more clear up front.)

The way I use Stack Overflow makes me feel dirty. Usually it starts when I Google an error message because I'm using a new (to me) combination of language/framework/module/plugin. My mindbrain and fingers conspire to automatically select the Stack Overflow link even though it might be 3rd result and #1 and #2 might be from the official docs of whatever technology.

When I get to SO I read the answers first. That is often enough to shake something loose in my brain about my own problem. If that doesnt help I'll read the question to make sure I'm reading the right thread. I only comment or answer on rare occasion because it means that 1. I ended up on an inappropriate thread but actually know the answer and 2. it happens to be a fresh unanswered question. Seriously, I hope some of you are using SO the way they want it to be used and clicking on ADs or whatever. ;)

I used to answer questions in IRC channels just because I was already hanging out there, knew some people, and hey- I got answers from this group I might as well give back. But on SO I dont feel any attachment to a community, its just about Internet points. And for those who arent keeping score its just get-in-get-out. Maybe its just me.

While it's not easy to hear, I got one such advice once on a company I started, and in true entrepreneurial spirit ignored it and kept iterating away. It was 100% spot on.

For me the best 5 year old explanation of lift has always been such:

Body, gas including, temperature equals energy, total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy and potential energy is what bumps into other objects and pushes that away. The faster the gas flows, the more kinetic energy there is, the less potential is left, thus the object is pushed with lower force.
If an object shaped such that gas around opposing faces flows in different speeds moves through the gas, opposing faces are pushed with different force and you get lift. The higher the speed, the more total energy is converted to kinetic energy, the less potential energy is left, the higher the force differential. Thus, the faster the object goes, the more lift it generates. That explains minimal take-off speed of an airplane.

This is by no means scientifically rock solid, but gives really good layman explanation.
It probably depends on the company: Founders and employees may seek liquidity, for example. According to http://seekingalpha.com/article/3746196-ipo-preview-atlassia..., it looks like Atlassian offers 10% in the IPO. But I'm not a financial analyst.
Let me put it this way.

At WWDC 2015, the only talks that used Objective-C were related to the new language features. I don't remember any other still using the language.

> Curious as to why you think there won't be much volume. Could you elaborate?

My reason for this is entirely practical. By displaying a bitcoin payment address, there are at minimum an additional three or four clicks, with perhaps a copy and paste of the bitcoin address to complete a payment (this is even more difficult if the user's bitcoin wallet is on his mobile - unless a QR code is displayed). For me, it is more of a practical usability reason as opposed to the reader not wanting to donate their $0.01.

A solution I would love to use, would be to have a browser plugin with a pre loaded bitcoin balance of a few dollars and a single one click to accept a 1 cent payment to the content owner to proceed to the article.

On Bitcointalk.org, a forum dedicated to bitcoin geeks, people always leave a tip address in their signatures, look up the usage and you'll find it surprisingly low.

I don't think it's arbitrary; Google Apps is an enterprisey product, where stability is prioritized over new features. Regular people who want to use their own domains are an exception, and certainly not the market they are going after.

I say this as someone who has used Apps in the past, but I've given up on it since.
Certainly a horrible ad. But it is for buying a machine. If such ads were the culprit, women shouldn't be driving cars either? I don't know what the ads were like at the time, but I am pretty sure they made similar ads for cars. Also not sure what kind of ads were targeted at women. It's pretty common to this day, although cheap, to just mix a random product with the claim "will make you more attractive to the opposite sex".

Wasn't it also the case that at first operating computers was deemed a task for secretaries, and then the perception changed?

I suppose they could have shown ads of secretaries being loved by their bosses because they work so efficiently thanks to their shiny new computers.

Edit: http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/MiscAds/AdamAd.JPG - women should just have used Macs?

"1. 1700's England? Nope, people are too serious back then."

I found the perspective in your post interesting, but I have to suggest that you research 'coffee shops' in London in the earlier 1700s. They declined towards the end of that century for reasons that could be quite interesting.

You didn't select cable channels with the tuner, though. My recollection is that you attached the cable box to the TV, tuned the TV to whatever channel was used to display hardline input, then selected channels on the cable box.

Eventually cable-ready TVs came out with the cable selector built-in, but they still weren't using the radio tuning mechanism to select hardline cable channels.
I agree with this. I applied on a handful of jobs stating "work from everywhere you want" in the past only to later find out that they meant US only.

This is a reference to Thing Explainer, the Randall Munroe book - https://xkcd.com/thing-explainer/

I think since so much quantum physics depends on maths, which in turn depends on highly specialised terminology or at least symbols, you are right that a Thing Explainer might have serious difficulty with quantum physics. A broad overview probably wouldn't have a serious advantage over the various lay explanations and thought experiments that are floating around at the moment. But as a non-physics student with an imperfect understanding of linear algebra, I would love to be proven wrong!

That was actually my first reaction to reading about Sussman's AI ideas in an article[0] that was on HN recently[1]. Propagators seems neat, but the quote:

"Sure, when you're running the program, that whole thing is a black box. So is your brain. But you can explain to me the reasoning of why you did something. At that point, being able to inspect the symbolic reasoning of the system is all you have."

made me immediately notice that there's a reason we have negative connotations with the world "rationalization" - because most of the time, post-fact rationalizations are bullshit and do not reveal one's actual thoughts at the time of the event, but what one wishes one thought at that time. Just bolting a "reasoning explainer" on top of a Bayesian inference system won't fare any better than human rationalization does.

I agree, even on smarthires.io, where positions are supposedly vetted and only open to YC alumni, I've had several companies that have abruptly ended the conversation when I state I'm based in Europe, despite my profile clearly stating that my preferred location is London or Remote.
Moral Sentiments are used to justify violence by the perpetrators. That does now mean their morality is really the driving force of their actions.
Is getting a visa to work at a U.S at startup something unique to the YC program? I am/was under the impression that the company had to be accredited to be able to employ foreign nationals.

Is there any advise you can give for a current undergrad (for me personally citizen of NZ and UK if that matters) to improve the odds of being able to accept a job or PHD study in the US (on the visa side of things).
that's a good move!
> For me it was the first language where diving into the source code of libraries - even the stdlib - was so effortless and has become a completely normal thing to do.

A great point. It is amazing how many little things Go and its ecosystem provides, that other languages have missed for years: go fmt. linked documentation. play.golang.org, and more. The language may look like it comes from the 80s, but the tooling is avant-garde.

And even if, as you say, it is "for work", why does Google force that decision upon me, the owner/operator/admin/sole employee of my one man organization? Why can't it just be a check box that says "I really just want a custom domain. Please let me use the cool things you make"?

Probably because it's not just a matter of marking it enabled. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if they used two separated branches of the codebase, only merging features from regular services into Apps after they are more stable.
I love Swift, it's a great tool.

I can't see any argument in there. 'meant to express programmer intent'? What does that mean? Basing programming languages on mathematical notation or something else would also of course be 'meant to express programmer intent'.

Why are natural languages a better foundation for programming languages than, for example, maths notation or calculi? Everyone in the Perl community seems to think they just intuitively know it is, but can't explain why.
>>I find that the most anti-intellectualism, cheap-shot emotional abuse, and stereotyping on the Internet is motivated by moral sentiments through online pseudo "activists" who are really working out their anger and self-esteem issues under the supposed imprimatur of one cause or another.

I'm starting to come round to the Joe Rogan theory of these people - they are deeply unhappy, angry people with issues, but finding a "cause" lets them express these antisocial tendencies in a semi-legitimate way. Basically their chosen issue gives them an outlet for their asshole tendencies.
