Sweet action! Depending on how far you want to go with the Bitbucket integration, you could potentially inject warnings on the commit, branch, and pull request pages using the Bitbucket Connect framework.

One of our engineers wrote an add-on recently for enforcing some less automated aspects of CONTRIBUTING.md that you might be interested in too: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/01/26/pull-request-guideline...
I've just hired several new employees and at the risk of sounding all "firstworldproblems" it's a more draining and tricky process than I expected (not too dissimilar to being the interviewee, to be fair).

This article nails it by saying judgments are often subjective or open to argument - in my case, it was always either down to experience or personality, and with the latter one, you're not going anywhere good by telling a candidate they weren't proactive enough, keen enough, friendly enough, or whatever.
I do not believe Fitbit uses heart rate to track calories. If it uses heart rate to track calories, it would be able to work well with cycling exercises, but it does not. From fitbit website: "Fitbit trackers are optimized for walking, running, and general lifestyle activities but are not recommended for tracking cycling"[0]. Sounds like it uses the step counter and not heart rate to estimate calorie burn along with your weight and age etc.

The Charge HR heart rate functionality could be useful to keep my heart rate in a specific range during cardio. However, it doesn't seem like it's good for that either[1].

I agree 100% with this.

I used to bring in dependencies with the "don't reinvent the wheel" mentality. Then I realized how much trust I'm giving to the authors of all dependencies I pull in. Now I tend to do my best to understand the dependencies I bring so I can improve them if I can.

The only problem I find with this decision is when I make an improvement/fix a bug on a dependency, and the project is either inactive or the authors don't give a crap about your work.

Guess I missed those in my search. I just did a search for "keyboardio" and looked at the first page or so, my apologies for not being more thorough.
What are concrete examples of mistakes junior devs often make?
There are plenty of resources out there for learning language paradigms, discrete math, and CS theory, so that's firmly on a junior dev's shoulders to take up,practice, and eat, breathe, and sleep.

The rest, it seems, comes down to mentorship/guidance/learning on the job.

But it also seems that some of this guidance can very easily be learned by the junior dev himself/herself (and thereby making mentorship more fun and less "What the hell, dude" for the senior engineer).

Is there a particular class of mistakes that junior devs almost undoubtedly make that they can make sure to be aware of before Day 1 on the job?
Everything about modern fitness is fascinating. We have access to more data about health and exercise than ever before, all kinds of personalized fitness trackers, calorie counters, meal planners, personal trainers, exercise routines and equipment. Yet somehow our society still seems to be getting fatter and more out of shape every year.

What is going on!?

You didn't just speculate. You expressed a value judgement by "[hoping] this study does not encourage more women to become lesbian".

Consider the racial wealth gap [1]. Would you find it appropriate to say "I hope this study does not encourage more white people to become asian"?

I'm not saying it is impossible, however bilingualism is often required in Montreal. Also, once the startup gets to a certain size(I'm not sure if it is over 30 or 50 employees) they have additional restrictions imposed by the OQLF.
Also in the Seattle metro area; rent here is just massively out of balance. There is a total lack of regional urban planning and competition in the form of sufficiently available housing to keep prices low.

All of that development went to the improperly supported suburban exodus movement of the 80s and 90s.
No, but your friendly DF representatives think about this stuff all the time, they don't need election pressure for that.

Thanks for sharing! Glad you love it.
I have a typical in front of the screen job, just walking to and from work and from meeting to meeting.
I found that 10000 steps were not much of a problem for a typical work day, if I consequently walked.
No elevator, no bus.

10000 steps should be about 4 to 5 miles or 6 to 8 km.
I always thought this is realistic for a typical work day, but
your comment made me thinking that maybe my tracker is just off. I should compare it to a GPS log one day.
How tested is this in the field? "Safe" for an init replacement is a strong statement. The git repo statistics make this look young but I don't know what Prismriver is.

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, I'm saying this because, well, "safe" is a high bar for an init replacement! And I'm genuinely interested in the answer.
Not sure why this received downvotes. There was significant debate until the 1950s about whether gravitational waves were real phenomena or just coordinate artifacts. The sticky bead argument played a big role in settling the issue.
Google of course thinks that wrong, they want you on their platform. Doesn't mean it's what I want as a consumer (with a DSLR and NAS full of RAW images)

>Given a woman doesn't step out of the work force to raise a child, she should expect to have relatively equal pay to a man.

I don't know if it was a kernel issue, but I was able to reproduce the problem in another DC by setting somaxconn artificially low (to 2 IIRC) in order to artificially force Linux into SYN cookie mode, and that reproduced this issue as well.

Given my knowledge of TCP and SYN cookies, I was not able to come up with another theory for why individual TCP connections would be stuck with a tiny window, because it seems that the entire idea behind congestion control is to increase the window once the congestion is gone ... That's why I think it might be a kernel issue. Given the complexity of TCP, I'd say there is an at least equally high chance I just don't know enough ;)
I'm not sure if this is a semantic difference, but how do you know it would take less 'effort' to get the heart rate up for out of shape people? I think 'less intensive exercise' would be better phrasing.

Heart rate is a pretty good proxy for 'effort'. As you get in better shape, your body is more efficient at all sorts of tasks, including fitness challenges, so to get your heart rate higher, you have to increase the intensity of the activity.
There actually is data.

Ian Young, who writes the Hongkouver blog for the South China Morning Post, said this in a recent interview with Vancouver Magazine:

> We’ve got peer-reviewed academic data from David Ley at UBC, who found what he called ‘an unusually decisive link’ between immigration and property prices in Vancouver, and this is going back over 25 years. We had Markus Moos and Andrejs Skaburskis who did another peer-reviewed piece of academic research that found that prices in Vancouver had become decoupled from local incomes by virtue of the fact that the home buying behavior of many recent immigrants was not tied to their local income. That cuts directly to the issue of foreign money.[1]

A quick google for those authors will turn up their studies.

There's a lot of rumors and allegations around him - this article goes through some: http://www.businessinsider.com/prince-alwaleed-2012-1

- accused of rape (case went to court)

- keeps dwarves as basically 'court jesters'

- tosses dwarves

- maims animals instead of shooting to kill

- poorly treats workers

- "But several sources say this pilot, Hanadi Zakariya Hindi, has hardly flown any of Alwaleed's aircraft, certainly not his massive jets. They say that when she was hired, Alwaleed told his aviation staff that she never would."

then again, "Al-Waleed announced that he would donate his entire fortune to charity at an unspecified date, in order to foster cultural understanding and empower women among other motivations." is a pretty big move if true
I literally can't get to 10,000 steps during a normal day unless..

Isn't this pretty literally the problem that such approaches are trying to address? I mean, if you believe that a fundamental health issue for yourself is due to a sedentary lifestyle then a tracker like this is hoping to help you change that lifestyle, not just change your lunch break (although that can be a good baby step on the way).
For services that have feature parity with GV, I'd recommend ring.to. Note that ring.to is run by bandwidth.com, the same CLEC that Google Voice uses for most (all?) of its numbers, so porting is easy:

For a more hands-on alternative, Anveo is a good choice (and they have SIP and SMS short code support):

Soon we'll all be running all our applications in facebook or googleplus or icloud, in a browser, in a virtual machine, on a proprietary-blob-driven all-in-one device.

Apps will be announced with huge fanfare (the most innovative thing ever), they'll show up in front of you without any action required on your part, they will change drastically in front of your eyes, corner cases will be buggy, and then in a few months to a couple of years they'll disappear forever.

yay, the future is almost here

> separation by the consumer is still more effective than having it done after collection

I think this is an antiquated view, because at least some recycling facilities specifically request that you not separate anything. It might sorted by humans after collection, but apparently it's most efficient to have everything dumped into the truck together.

> If it makes sense to reduce the tax revenue you can generally lower taxes for all products.

This isn't about reducing tax revenue; this is about not increasing it, and specifically about not creating a new tax.

If tax revenue has gone down in some other area, the presumption should not automatically be to raise taxes elsewhere to compensate.

> I'm not sure how it works in the US, but in the EU services (including internet access) are generally taxed with a VAT, just like every other product

Taxes in the US aren't nearly that uniform. Goods and services are not taxed universally at the federal level; many such goods and services have one-off special-case taxes. For instance, phone service has several taxes. Internet service, however, does not. This bill is a statement against adding new special-case taxes for the Internet, and against adding new taxes for goods and services purchased through the Internet specifically because of their method of purchase.

Imposing any kind of universal sales tax would be an entirely separate question.

> I say exactly the opposite: you can use taxing to make people buy more of something (some new tech you want to push) or less (e.g. cigarettes).

The US has various such subsidies and excise taxes (the latter of which I already mentioned). But this isn't an instance of that; this is simply choosing not to create a new tax on the Internet.
Don't forget to factor in health care. In BC, standard care that would be the bargain basement cost would likely cost you < $1500 a year. Better care not much more than $2500 tops.
I don't disagree with you(1), but time and again people have shown that their economic calculations have a time horizon well short of a single human lifespan.

(1) by a technicality; since complete environmental collapse and subsequent starvation could be "calculated" as a total loss for humanity. But no one does calculations in these terms; they do it in money.
> People are sensitive. They snap at the smallest hint that their behavior is wrong. Even if the behavior is only mildly inappropriate.

As demonstrated by the fact that someone downvoted this basic tenet of human nature, because they think it might be criticizing them personally.

What's interesting to me is that people who say things like "Quit being so sensitive" are often the people who get really angry if their own sensibilities are offended.

Sure, but after the connection is established, and "memory pressure" [1] is gone, shouldn't the tcp implementation grow the window again?

[1] I'm putting this in quotes, because the machines in questions have ridiculous amounts of memory, and the pressure merely came from SOMAXCONN being at their default value of 128.

My spouse has a permanent residency card in the USA. It has an expiration date of 10 years. Perhaps you could call the immigration office and explain the meaning of the word to them as well? :)

Or even try to force yourself to be attracted to someone you aren't attracted to regardless of sex/gender. It may happen over time on its own but you can't force that attraction into existence.
Trouble with a land value tax is that most cities have severe restrictions on redeveloping properties at a higher density, so you have to design all sorts of exceptions or end up with the family living in the poky little flat in a historic building on the edge of the city centre paying more in tax than the property speculators who've bought the penthouse suite in that new multistorey apartment in the exclusive riverfront district.
Text are asynchronous by nature. Expecting an immediate response is selfish. You expect the other person to carry their phone, check their phone constantly, and drop everything to respond to your (usually dumb) message? Maybe that works with family, but not understanding the nature of asynchronous messaging will hurt the sender a lot more than the receiver. Yes, people sometimes play games, but most of the time they probably have lives (some people still work and such during the day for example). The worst of the worst is when someone gets angry because you didn't respond when they wanted you to. Those people do not deserve anyone's friendship.

No worries, you're right to bring it here. Ink by Zurb has been the first solution I used years ago as a developer myself to solve that tedious problem as you name it. While developing MJML it has been a great inspiration for us and can't wait what the coming V2 will bring!

Twitch: 2015 Retrospective
If a fork happens, what is the end result for those who hold pre-fork bitcoins? Do they then own a bitcoin on each fork? If so, then I'd assume that the market would then determine the value of each one? This could either cause existing bitcoin holders to have their wealth increase, decrease, or remain the same (depending on the relative market values of both forks).

Then if later on the two forks want to merge, what would be the technical mechanism for this?

My wife and I take a lot of pictures on our smartphones. What service can I pay for that will:

- Automatically upload our pictures from our smartphone

- Keep them private, viewable only to use, or family members.

- Nice gallery feature.

- Easy to export all data in one go.

I will pay cold hard cash for this. My wife will decapitate me if I lose our backup pictures of our kids when they were babies.
If you want to run a Windows program on a Linux machine, you'll have to run it through a full copy of Windows in a virtual machine. Docker isn't going to help you here...
The shocking thing is that even companies like Microsoft are no better today. The user and his data are the product with their recent products like Win10, Office365. Adobe and Autodesk are on the same bandwagon with their subscription software, but not as mean and dirty as MSFT.

Only Apple is still 1990s-style (traditional) and at least let's you deactivate their cloud stuff with a few simple options. We definitely need more good companies that respect the consumer.
A big reason why is that information is not enough. There are multiple 100B+ industries that are dedicated to driving sedentary and calorie-increasing activities (TV, gaming, fast food, soda, beer). There is far less effort devoted to getting people to exert more physical effort.

Think about how the only real way most white collar workers exert ourselves is through "exercising". Aka moving around for the express purpose of burning calories.
Have you ever worked in generalist tech support? One of the first things you learn is how to draw a line when the situation is beyond mutual respect, because nothing good can happen there and you have already lost. A lot of people like to blow off steam by abusing a random voice on the phone, so you are entitled to quickly apologize and cut them off. Same applies (or should apply, in respectable support shops) in other situations the support worker would deem socially unacceptable. So yeah, you can fire the customer, your mental health comes first.

Btw, the most depressing call I've ever had was with this guy I had helped for weeks, solving his "enterprise" problems. At the time I worked with a female colleague, and we would share customers and tickets. Eventually she left, so when I broke the news to this guy, he went "oh, i'm sorry to hear that. To be honest, I preferred her; I always prefer ladies on the phone". That was humiliating beyond belief. When I told her a few years later (since we kept in touch), she was absolutely flattered. Because sexism is not that bad when it benefits you, so to speak.
Well, I mean... Docker does provide deduplication on the same base image. So two containers created "FROM ubuntu:14.04" which are both reading from (for example) /etc/issue are using the same data. But you specifically mention across different images, and I just don't think there are enough similarities to warrant that functionality. I mean how many files are the same across CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 14.04? I just don't see the benefit that you do.
If apartments are 25% vacant on speculation grounds, that's quite a bubble.

I don't intend to do it, but for curiosity's sake: How does one go short on houses?

"I'll pay you to let me borrow your house and sell it to someone else. Later, I'll get you an equivalent house." Never heard of anyone doing such a thing, but at the right up-front payment, I bet someone would take the deal.
No, that's just how he brushes off inconvenient problems.

>>> why not just charge the superusers with tens of thousands of followers, like Mr. Jones, who really do get some tangible benefit from the service?

I'd go the other way. I don't think the concept of charging people for being successful on a social media platform has legs. I'd instead attach micropayments to all the fish who want to follow various celebs and such. Say 1c/month to follow Lady Gaga. Then we'll see exactly how much use these feeds are to consumers. Or this could be done through a premium concept, such as delaying tweets to/from non-premium subscribers by a few minutes.

I don't really remember paying for health care separately in Ontario (where I'm from originally) anyway... At least there was an option for it but it was more like "In case you become disabled and can't work" or something like that
1BR inventory is not really an issue. Most of the new builds consist of small 1BRs so that developers can maximize their $ per square foot. rents on 2 or 3BR places have shot through the roof because there's very little supply being added.

The real problem is that prices have become decoupled from incomes. The median home price is 10x more than the median household income (this includes condos and townhomes).

The only reason for this is outside capital driving up prices.
Thanks for the answer. Karma, while fun, isn't personally that big of a deal. Appreciate the clarification, and thanks for your continued oversight of the HN community.
Real estate has value because of the potential flows of rent that can be obtained. Property taxes fall on both land and improvements. While the taxes on improvements are passed on to the tenant, the taxes on land cannot be, as Adam Smith showed. The rent of land, being a case of a locational monopoly, is always as high as it can be.

Thus, taxing land simply reduces the flows of rent that can be kept from controlling a location, and thus reduces the purchase price.

This makes it easier for entrepreneurs to acquire land, since the up front costs are lower.
Economically there is no good reason to distinguish between these two cases.

So you are saying because anything that could be rented can also be owned, the government should get to tax it as if you rented it? This applies to all items that can possibly be sold and creates interesting areas for where something might be illegal but free to give and which still has a market value on the black market, of which income tax is still expect.

For example, if you two people have sex, they both need to pay the tax a prostitute would've earned.

It also makes every action taxable... even if all you do is clean your room, you aren't paying for someone else to clean your room and thus owe tax.
I tend to find TRP more pitiful than anything else.
Google Photos is still missing a lot of functionality of Picasa. For year I've been uploading pictures to an album named with the current year. My parents and in-laws can check the pictures of the kids when they like. The Photos upload activity on Android doesn't have a selector for the album like the Picasa upload did.

There still doesn't seem to be a way to interact with Google Photos through scripts. Search for "google photos api" and the first link is still the Picasa Web Albums Data API...
