What makes me happy depends on what type of work I'm doing.

- Scripts, tools, etc. Here I really enjoy being able to automize tasks. Then being able to combine scripts, tools, etc. into even more useful things makes me even more happy. Some things almost become magical once they have been automized.

- Games. Here I enjoy being able to create something fun out of nothing.

- Debugging. Finally finding a hard to find bug can give a quite unique rush of happiness.

- Research/innovation. Working on something brand new which no one has done before and finally releasing a product which people enjoy is sheer pleasure.

- Web development/user interfaces. Finally finding the right combination of simplicity and usefulness to create a really usable product is also a very pleasurable journey.

I suppose I'm just perplexed at this persistent view that one can just handwave away the fact that IRC doesn't do everything Slack does simply by saying that it could.
The article starts off by basically saying it's not actually a scam, because the green lock means what everyone thought it meant; and then it turns into a kloudsec advert.
I don't think it's true. Depends on what you mean by rare, I guess.
This is what I hate. This whole attack the employer for the employees opinion. This is backward and disgusting. This is the same tactic used by tumblr and twitter in their witch-hunts against people who have an opinion they don't like. It's despicable.
I don't think he is analytically equating both but stating that they empirically are.
Tellng a couple of kids to disrupt the lock picking industry would probably end up with a situation less scam-like, but equally terrible.

Cool, love it. But It opens videos im fullscreen automaticaly, forcing me close each video on iPhone. Maybe this could be optional. But maybe it is the way it works. cool :)
The website is pretty and all but there is no information anywhere. How much does it cost? How long is the lease for? I would hope I don't need to make an account just to get that information.
Your accountant will also be working to make the business look as bad as possible on paper to save you tax. With that caveat, it's a tool I've used to investigate markets to see how big they are.
Thanks for the great example. It definitely clears up some of my confusion.
The "with dynamic memory" part being critical, since that means no asm.js. With asm.js, emscripten is faster.

I get the feeling this is one the one hand pretty cool, but on the other hand poorly timed. Unless WebAssembly never arrives or arrives really late, there's going to be a way to run almost-native code with dynamic memory allocation fairly soon. So it's likely this will soon be relegated to "old-android support".
I had the same problem, and the fix was quite obvious once you read it: if you have 64bits OBS and 32bits VLC, VLC crashes when you open the video. Use both 64bits or 32 bits software, and you're fine.
Hopefully that'll pass some day. It's the same in Austria, however recently there's been new legislation for LLC companies with very low starting capital almost all over Europe, so you can have shady-looking businesses anywhere (e.g. 1-Euro-LLC in Germany).

I don't have a huge knowledge of TCP, but IMHO the sequence number should just be ignored for RST --- that half of the connection is unusable for sending data after a RST, so the sequence number is irrelevant. I think the connection should close, unconditionally. The argument about RST spoofing seems somewhat contrived - if you have the means to inject arbitrary packets, chances are you also have the means to read them, so what sequence numbers are being used is known. Any flaw in this reasoning? Despite the diagram showing very different behaviour for all the OSs, the fact that they should be able to successfully communicate with each other, and the Internet is the biggest example of that, says to me that it might not really matter all that much...

What would really suck is if an operating system were to totally ignore the rule to reply with an RST when receiving a packet on a closed socket.

Isn't this behaviour explicitly encouraged to prevent port scanning and related attacks?
Can someone explain to me why both cheap oil and expensive oil seem to be bad for the economy? Back when oil was >$100 per barrel everybody seemed to blame the weak economy on expensive oil. Now somehow very cheap oil is also a bad thing.
I believe that this is true of all European countries and is not a trait unique to UK companies.

A UK company is cheap to incorporate, easy to manage, has little red tape, and is cheap to dissolve.

The rules are fairly clear, and you don't have to use an accountant to achieve much of the basic stuff.

You may have to use an accountant/lawyer to take advantage of SEIS/EIS relief for investors, or to get assistance with R&D tax credits, but that's about it.
> I don't know where "Next" and "Previous" idiocy stems from

Next page and previous page.

It is usually the default wording because when making a generic paging routine you don't know if things are going to be sorted ascending or descending, or if they are in date order, numeric order, alphabetic, in the order of the author's first pet's birth month, or something else entirely. Sometimes a framework has no option for changing the captions, and sometimes we as devs are lazy...

Where the ordering is obvious next/previous is fine, but as you say it is much better to be more precise about what you mean if at all possible.

I do not understand this.

Japan imports almost all of its oil and commodities. Shouldn't low price of oil and commodities result in a massive surplus for a country that sells high value added goods ? Buy iron for cheap and sell robots for a high price.

Now the argument many people will make is that the people who are buying the high-value added goods won't have money anymore - but the argument can be made in the opposite way too - high prices of oil and commodities will result in lower surplus - meaning growth will be most in countries who produce oil and commodities.

Citing "low price of oil" as a reason for economic woes just seems like bad science - I though economists were better than this ?

One interesting aspect of Estonia is the Digital residency: if are you are allowed to live in Estonia (EU citizen or equivalent) you can be asked to be considered a “digital resident”. That means that you can choose to pay tax there. The main advertised advantage is that all your paperwork, including your company’s, can be done entirely on-line, using a super-secure ID card.

That comes with the (welcome) assumption that you are not going to speak Estonian, and would prefer strong encryption and associated protocols.

I haven’t tried it myself, but my experience of paper-based administrations vs. Finnish and Swedish (far more IT-friendly) is night and day.
But it did not work in the 1990s for Japan, why would it work better a second time?

This is particularly key when using a small tablet or phone. On many sites it is difficult to hit the right thing without zooming first and many of the sites I find "broken" in this way also somehow disable zoom. In these circumstances I'm more likely to go look for the same information elsewhere than persevere.
I'm the perfect target for this kind of service — I've been living as a "digital nomad" since July last year, primarily using Airbnb for accomodation, working in cafes and coworking spaces.

> But why are High Frequency Traders "bad"? Like, do they significantly destabilize the platforms they use? Or is it just that they make profit, and thus the other users of the exchange are losing money? And if it's the latter, how is that not completely illogical? In order for you to make a profit when trading, somebody else needs to lose money. If you ban everyone who profits from the exchange, then there cannot be an exchange, right?

Theoretically you make your profit from long-term value investing. If you think FooCorp has a bright future ahead of them and I think their industry is in decline, I can sell you my FooCorp shares. And theoretically we've worked for any money we make: maybe I've done some research and uncovered a massive fraud at FooCorp. Maybe you're an activist who's going to talk to their management about a major restructuring plan[1].

You can run an exchange just with value investors like that, but you won't get a lot of trades - see the mention of Liquidnet in the article. Maybe you finish your plan a week before I finish mine. So maybe there's a middleman who'll sell you some FooCorp shares (going short), and then buy the same shares off me a week later, taking a cut for themselves. On one level they're providing a valuable service - but you can see why you and I, who did all this research effort, might hate some people who sit there with a computer being a middleman and raking in near-riskless profit. In the same way that we might hate a real-world middleman - a salesman or importer or the like. It becomes particularly acute if the middleman is an HFT selling shares that we "could have got on our own" five seconds later at a better price than their price (because they have an information advantage from e.g. direct feeds being faster than the SIP). In one sense they are still providing value, but it's a strange, counterintuitive kind of value. And of course people remember the times when they bought and the price went down a second later more than the times when they bought and the price went up, and it's easy to blame the HFTs for it.

[1] Why is this not just zero-sum? Because ultimately the market cap turns into real investment. If the market overall thinks that BarCorp has a great business plan and FooCorp is wasting money, then the price of BarCorp goes up and that of FooCorp goes down, and maybe BarCorp builds a new factory and FooCorp lays some people off. Assuming the market got it right, BarCorp's factory is more efficient than FooCorp's, so they build more useful widgets with the same money, and the world has more widgets in it than in the counterfactual universe where the companies' prices didn't change - real value creation

I built something cool for a client a couple of years ago. When sorting on price (or title, or anything), it shows you the price range (or title..) in that page ($100 - $350) on mouse hover in a tooltip. Surprisingly it's not something I've ever seen anywhere else.

This way you can instantly jump to the price range you are interested in.

There's a huge lag on this information: people can find out how much you claimed to have on your balance sheet at the time you last filed, which could be something like 18 months ago.

(Do US LLCs really not require you to file accounts? Why does everyone choose Delaware, anyway?)

It basically serves the same purpose as the Experian et al credit scoring system. The purpose is to protect creditors and customers against entering into contracts with fraudulent entities. Part of the tradeoff for limited liability.

I've done company creation and small co filing in the UK, all manually because the company had a nominal amount of money and was a "limited by guarantee". Fairly quick and easy.

"if you have the means to inject arbitrary packets, chances are you also have the means to read them" - this is not true in some (most?) settings. Current mode of operation of the Internet as we know it will allow incoming traffic allow to claim to stem from any public IP address. It's up to the interconnecting parties to ensure that no forged source IP adresses are used on packets leaving their network towards others, but that's all there is at the moment.

Not every event that happens uses worst-case data. In any case, while I don't know the actual class of rail where this emergency stop happened, this wiki article[1] suggests that most mainline track in the US is class 4, which allows a max of 80mph for passenger trains.

Out of curiosity, why do you mix metric and imperial in the same context? Stopping distance in metric for a speed in imperial?

It seems that you're saying something that is impossible to disprove: that no one could have fixed Yahoo. I'm skeptical, but I guess we will never know.

What I do know is that at the time of her hire, on these very boards, people were singing her praises for the most part. Because the Valley protects its own.

Steve Jobs isn't the benchmark here. Maybe it was an impossible task to right the Yahoo ship, but what exactly did she do that was positive or innovative...at all?
I've been involved with a contractor who relied exclusively on internet leads (nobody in their right mind would recommend him) and much of his time was spent giving quotes for low value work that rarely materialised into an order.

Most people using the internet for sourcing a tradesman, in my experience, are those looking for the cheapest price or just fantasists and time wasters.

I think most consumers expect a contractor/tradesman to have some kind of web presence but it really should be just a brochure type site and/or blog. The best work is almost always going to come from word of mouth referrals.

They cause different problems:

Expensive oil - costs more as you'd expect.

Cheap oil - good but leads to falling prices so savers leave their money in the bank waiting for discounts so spending in the economy falls.

The second one is an odd thing that only happens in a deflationary environment.

The price is intended to be across a global network and there are more locations coming. The space in Bali is completely brand new with contemporary architecture, and an adjacent restaurant and open rooftop space where there are regular acroyoga jams and capoeira classes.

If you want to find an individual room or villa to have by yourself, there are cheaper alternatives in the area. But the reality is that the inventory of larger properties -- say 20 to 50 units -- that are large enough to support an internal community, is much smaller across the whole island and the world, frankly speaking. The whole point of the project is community living in multiple parts of the globe, not being on your own or moving day-to-day from different Airbnbs (which is totally fine too!) So it really depends on your personal preferences of what kind of living space you think is right for you. (And lots of people have lots of different preferences, and that's OK.)
