Thanks for your appreciation.
With Pippo you can see your web application as a regular Java application (with a static main method).

You are not forced to create a web.xml file. Of course you can use the standard approach with web.xml but this is complete optional.

For more information please read http://www.pippo.ro/dev/quickstart.html

The idea with Pippo is that you can create easy a very custom stack. You can work with your favorite servlet container, template engine, json/xml libraries and this is great (for example I use Undertow as servlet container and Pebble as template engine). To do this is simple to add the right Pippo module in your pom.xml file and it's done (pippo-undertow, pippo-pebble in my case).
I don't want to force you to work with my personal stack.
Hey wbond, I'm glad that you're now part of the team. Can you say anything about what you'll work on? Only package-stuff or other things too?

And does this mean there are now more planned features and a more stable future for sublime? You know the burning questions of the community.
It's absolutely done, people just don't think of using concrete as a decorative finish as much.

I've seen red and blue and other colors. You can also stain and acid etch concrete for other texture treatments.
uBlock Origin is a fork of uBlock by the original developer of uBlock.

They are essentially the same addon except uBlock Origin has more features and is more actively maintained (development of uBlock pretty much stopped after the fork).
How do you know for sure? Honest question.
What makes this a non-hipster guide?

I like hand-drip coffee because the equipment is cheap and you get to choose if you want 1 cup or a pot.

But your kettle most likely makes your water too hot, which means you should do it for the frugality. If you want "great" coffee this way you need to hipster up and get a special kettle and special coffee, take special care in pouring and then why not just a filter machine and not be a hipster about it?
> I wonder how many page views it takes for Wired to earn $1.

When I read the price, I immediately wondered "what are they doing to my computer with those ads that they're making $52 a year when I read maybe four stories a year?"

Companies trying to sell subscriptions have never understood how to set prices. One thing they're not taking into consideration is that you're a lot more likely to click on an article if it costs you nothing but time. For many readers, even $1 a year isn't a good value.
From the limited psychology books and research I read as a hobby it is actually true and there's a very good example of that in Japanese society where it accepted for young children to be attracted or even in love with other children of the same sex.

It is considered as something they will grow out of even if sometimes they don't.

This leads me to believe that Dr. Zucker is right and he is yet another victim of uninformed activism.

The allegations in the report are he said, she said from what I an concerned. If you ever worked in a customer facing role you know if you do enough digging you will find someone that would say what you want them to say even if it's not true.

You would need a statistical report of how may people he has treated vs how many people had something bad to say about his treatment to actually see the real truth.

You can get some people to lie or they might have their own reason for lying but given a large enough sample that is meaningless.

That was not a proper investigation it was a witch hunt.
In the nicest possible way I'd say you're missing the point. To what degree gender is a social construct vs actually having non-minimal differences in the brain depending on your chromosomes is largely settled (IMO), the real question is just what is going on with gender dysphoria. Is it (and do we treat it as) a mental illness? (The DSM-V calls it a disorder.) What are the causes? Is it just attention-seeking? Or is it just an aspect of personality like preferring the color blue over red, only with much more important social implications? Is it changeable? Does it go away? Is the "gender-affirmative" approach the right one, where we apparently need to up-heave societal norms to make these people "comfortable", whatever that entails? Should such up-heaving be funded by the tax payer? Can we make them "comfortable" while not making other people "uncomfortable"? These and many others are the questions that matter. I don't have a strong opinion in the matter other than I know non-passable trans people creep me out on a sub-rational level (so I just avoid them, like spiders). I'd like to ignore the problem and let the scientists and doctors solve it. But when scientists and doctors are busy purging other scientists and doctors instead of doing science and medicine I guess I'd rather have a decree from the Supreme Court that settles things (at least temporarily) one way or another for society as a whole. If they pick wrong, the scientists that believe so better start coming up with good evidence, since apparently what's presently available is either not good enough to actually be convincing one way or another or it's possible to become a practitioner in the field without a firm grasp of the current state of evidence.

Most commenters here won't read the submitted article. I admit I only skimmed it, for it is long, but what I did read was also good. It addresses some of these questions and more. This sort of reporting on purges rarely happens.
It should (be), maybe, but is a mistake worthy of downvotes? Probably, I guess.

Lesson: Never misinterpret, especially when feeding the ego.
Ask HN: Is moving countries as Engineering Manager easy?
This is something that has been bothering me for some time. I'm considering moving to engineering management for various reasons. I'm concerned that once I move to engineering management I will not be able to change my country as easily if I had stayed in programming.

Is there any merit in my fear? Have any of you changed countries easily while being in management?

P.S. : Throwaway for obvious reasons.
1. Hemp oil does not have to become cheaper than petrol in order to become widely used globally because consumer behavior is likely to change to accomodate it. What I mean is educated consumers are willing to pay more for the "green alternative" of their disposable plastic product because they recognize they will see that the extra value is created when the product does not create a destructive externality.

2. Wheat is not an ideal primary food crop in terms of nutrition for an advanced civilization that has the technology to scale distributed food production of much more nutritious plants. Instead we could scale out verical farming, aquaponics technology, permaculture, etc. Still I don't believe industrial hemp would effect large scale wheat production. I think that's a misnomer based on calculations centered around the idea of what it would take to replace petrol completely.

You can certainly grow hemp on flat terrain that is not optimal for food crops, but how much can be realistically harvested on truly rough terrain is debateable. It helps to remember that since you don't need insect repellent or petro-fertilizers it's signficantly easier to grow. I estimate that it could at least double the amount of land that can be used for productive farming in the US, and another thing is that hemp actually helps add nitrogen back into the soil.. in other words it's an excellent "cover crop". In addition it only needs to be rotated once every 70 years.
That aside a man who was an expert in his field appears to have been pushed out, because his medical and professional views were not tolerated. The medical industry is one very important part of society. We should do our best to ensure it is a meritocracy. Political agendas often miss the forest for the trees right or wrong this man's expert option should be subject to the test of science, not the wrath of zealots that often believe they cannot be in error. I suspect many believe their own experience is enough to prove them correct, however anecdotal evidence may not represent the truth for the entire population. Better to let medical research stand or fall on its own merits.

I think adblockers block content which usually is offsite, so it's not a matter of "technical concern".

EDIT: rephrase
I'm 15 minutes into the video, and must say, not even considering Erlang might have been a bad move. Because all the points that are made towards go, seem to be solved much better with Erlang. I can also see some downsides to chosing Go, that were not even called on.

Mainly, he said, rolling back on code or updating is just putting the binary on the server and run this. This means a downtime in the service. Which might be pretty harsh for a real time data logging and messaging service.
With Erlang, and it's hot code reloading feature, this would be a non-issue.

Also when he talked about the system rarely crashing, could have also been better addressed with Erlang, as it is part of the main philosophy to deal with this.

I think Erlang would have been an even better choice for this company.
They have been like that from the start. I don't blame them, there was a lot of fraud going on and it meant they had to develop a very defensive attitude to things just to stay in business. It's hard to shake those things off once they are established.
Perhaps a specific Zenefits example of employee incompetence is of use here.

The lady in this example is clearly not competent, and should not be selling products that people depend on for their health.

Not sure why you feel having gone through the hoops to demonstrate competence, learn about the various products, and how to advise clients of their options is merely 'rent seeking'.

---

"I made like $15,000 in the time I was there, just on commissions. And I never got my license," said an insurance salesperson who left Zenefits this summer. She estimated she had more than 100 conversations with different customers about insurance. "I took my test three times in a row, and I failed. They still let me work."

Without her license, she had to improvise on calls with customers.

When faced with a tricky question, "I would just google it,” she said. She would tell the customer, "Hold on one second, let me email the expert, he's on the line, hold on one second, I'll get back to you.” But in reality, “I would pick one of the first three links and I would just go off of that."

"Trust us, and everyone connected to us, and everyone connected to them.""

Wired is asking its readership to compromise, without being willing to make any compromises themselves. They're asking us to trust them on a one-to-one basis, but that's now how trust works in a network. We have to trust Wired, and trust every single one of the companies or servers they include content and scripting from, and trust every single one of the companies or servers that these companies or servers include content from. We're looking at trusting at least a hundred actors here, quite likely more.

"Trust us, and only us."

A much better compromise would be to ask us to turn off ad blocking on their site, while in turn guaranteeing that every single script and asset served on their domain will also be served from their own servers, after having undergone at least some type of inspection. Then we at least have a reasonable basis for trust.
Out of interest, do Credit Default Swaps fall into that category of "insurance"?
Evercookie
It must be a lot more satisfying to have new customers that were recommended by people that trust your product rather than some dumb/probabilistic marketing channel.

In a VC-backed world, that is hard to come by because everybody is so focused on hypergrowth, but if the company can afford to organically grow the business based on timeless good features (your product delivers value and you care about your users) than it should feel much better.
Wiki Says
"In 2013, a top-secret NSA document was leaked by Edward Snowden citing Evercookie as a method of tracking Tor users."
Did he have any brothers? I also recall people I studied with behaving like that because they only had sisters to play with.
"On graduating from UCLA in December 1990 with a computer science degree, Adham received $10,000 from his parents to go to Europe. But he loved video games, and he wanted to make a living making them. He used the money instead to start a video game company, Silicon & Synapse–the predecessor of Chaos."
Instead of asking broadly - and obviously get the answer "Yes! We need better tools!", you might ask yourself why you wanted to make the tool firsthand. You present two reasons:

- Cross-Platform - well, web based applications all are
- Offline - that would be extra value, Trello for example does not offer that

But neither of these two reasons alone would encourage anyone to get a new project management tool.

You need some standalone features or feature a workflow that noone features so far. Focus!

Here are some questions you might ask yourself or the community:

- Do we need an issue tracker or a complete PM? This will determine your target market
- For how many people do you need a PM? Single developer? Group of 5? Group of 100s?
- Which type of projects do you work on? Software? Marketing?
- How does your typical project workflow look like?
- Which part of the workflow is still cumbersome, even when using software?
- What's the one thing that a new project management tool should me with?
- If the new PM tool was to do only one thing, how would you know that it does it perfectly?

You should probably come up with even more questions. Your goal must be to find a use case and a market and find out what pains are not solved yet. The more time and hence money a pain causes, the better you might create a product that sells.
That is still published, they can still use it for blackmail, and still abuse it.

What development tools do require access to?

A short list of the 'little things that add up' (your post up the tree) with your current set up may be of interest as well as people could then comment on the likelihood of those or similar.
That seems like a pretty facile view to take. Fixing the video delivery problem isn't something Flash randomly lucked into - other technologies (Real, QT, etc) existed for no other reason but couldn't do it, because it was hard. Flash became the de facto global standard for delivering interactive content because it solved that problem, and a bunch of others, for a huge number of people, better than the alternatives, for years. If you didn't like the IDE that's fair enough but it's no grounds to claim the team behind it were money-gougers with no regard for software quality.
does something similar exist for Ubuntu?
For a long time, me neither. Didn't trust those weird "media keys" and indeed expected them to just pop up some default app I never use. Until I accidentally hit them on Linux and it turned out they do exactly what you'd expect. Now I use them all the time :) In particular the play/pause and volume buttons.
Maybe it was poorly phrased - land available for agriculture is small relative to their population. Iceland is huge but largely barren, Japan is even bigger but feeding 127m people is probably not possible with the land they have available
And the first question was about Erlang (just saw it now).
The answer explained it, they were "just not into it" and "nobody really knew about it".

Apparently they didn't even deeply looked into the language, and as the discussion with one of the first commenters (which could be barely heard unfortunately) shows, that Erlang might have been another good choice, but it seemed to be a greater risk for them than going the go route.

It is interesting that a pro point for Go was for him because it was backed by Google. This apparently was one pro to go with the risk of the language, which, regarding Erlang, being backed by Ericsson, was NOT a pro.

For this company it worked out good going the Go route, and there is nothing wrong with that, it just seems that going the other risk with Erlang, and actually having put in the work to properly research it, might have been an even better step into the software, and the downsides that are apparent through the presentation and the half sentences you could understand from the discussion with the first commenter.
Right, it was just an adhoc example. The sentiment of what you said is true - these are just people doing their job. I don't know why you are getting downvoted so much. Thinking that there exists a hack which won't result in harm is an easy mistake to make.

There is no chance that government can just hand over a hard problem to a private entity, and then make the private entity accountable for screwing it up. What private company would take that deal, and how would you draw blood from the stone when they screw up?
Yes, the hard part is figuring out which side are the "activists".

I know nothing of this particular field, but I do know I can go out on the internet and find well-meaning people writing a very similar story about a scientist commited to the truth being hounded by ill-informed activists on the topic of, for example, climate change. And, to my point, I can find that story written from both sides of the debate.

Who would have thought the temperature of the earth would become a political football? On the other hand, people have been freaking out for literally decades about the mildest of gender controversies, like men not cutting their hair short, or women wanting to wear trousers, so there's a whole backlog of drama that this current issue builds on.
Hook, line, sinker.

I'm skeptical. The phrase "marketing channel" does not appear verbatim on the article. I'd say it either has really good NLP or there's a human somewhere.

What helps is to bookmark a page that's not the slow loading "Overview" page that is the top of their navigation hierarchy, and jump there directly. You still need to log in twice sometimes, but at least it loads much faster. But it's pretty outrageous that such hacks are even necessary.

Sublimetext new build
Exactly, it's a problem much greater than this issue. People need to be free to have dissenting views. That will drive research in that direction, the outcome of that will either prove or disprove the position and we'll all be the better of for it having been tested. But now I'm going down the road of an idealist. TLDR; politics suck.
Maybe an answer is https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/3x1wsm/why_are_java_w...

The Pippo goal is to simplify the web development in Java (as much as possible).
If you want to write a medium, big application in Java you have a lot of options, standard or non standard (Jsf, Wicket, Play, Spring Boot, ...). Pippo is for small and medium applications, maybe for applications where the backend is Java and the frontend is Angular or other javascript framework, for applications micro services oriented. Pippo has a clear niche and do not try to compete with the Jaava web frameworks enumerated above.
I always wondered why didn't youtube concatenate the ad content directly to the main content stream. It should be possible without reencoding and maybe a minimal muxing overhead (hell DASH is not even multiplexed). It would be quite hard to block that.
But that's only two services out of many. What about your mail server? What about your webserver where you host your personal website? What about your own git hosting? What about your own private slack-like service? If you follow the "host everything yourself" zealots consequently, all you do is maintain these services. Or you pay people to do that for you, which quickly gets more expensive than just paying for your SaaS subscriptions.

Yes but when would _that_ happen? Growth will slow down when:
1) Either they have captured almost all of the market
2) Or they have a better competitor which washes them away

Iff (1) happens, they will not go under as they will a 'large' bank and will most likely be 'too big to fail'.

And I don't think (2) is happening fast enough.
