Oh, I hate that kind of error message. Why couldn't it be something useful like

raise error("groups number is too large "
"(you have used %d out of an "
"allowed %d)" % (self.groups, MAXGROUPS))

Would you be fine with them saying hiring "only white males" in Canada? Or hiring "only white" in Australia?
Gen Y and Millennials are the same thing. Digital Natives is another name for Gen Z.
Yes. People say "patterns are just first-class functions"but they miss the point that not all functions can be combined with each other in manageable ways, so there is still an art to it.

Also, stuff like "strictness annotation" is not a function.
That's very easy to swallow when you are born on the upper end of the scale. Not so much when you are born to a single mother on a Flint MI ghetto or when you are born gay in Nigeria, or a girl on war-torn Sudan.

Just because you are comfortable on middle-upper class doesn't mean you can't be objective about this things. That some kids are born into wealthy families and some are born in sub-Saharan Africa and forced to mine minerals for the former's iPad until they are 15 and keel over is undeniably wrong. But it's what arises from capitalism.
While Calvino is great, I wouldn't call someone who won a Nobel prize for literature underrated.
I think the conscious push to diversify the workplace it's good but I don't think that outright banning white males is the right way to go about it.
First tweet, who cares.
Subsequent tweets, trolling/asshole, why would you work for this person no matter what your or their race is?

I know they are probably getting a lot of shade on twitter, but the tweets sound like a crank, not someone doing hiring. Completely unprofessional.
Almost all foreigners has a vpn to access their facebook and gmail.

And for the demand, let me show you an example: Several months ago, a malware, XcodeGhost, infects EVERY large internet company in China. The attack worked by tricking developers into using a fake version of Xcode, Apple's software development tool, to build apps. So their apps were published to Apple App Store with hidden malicious code. This virus also has a android version. You may wonder why these developers didn't download the xcode and android sdk from apple and google's website directly. They are the top class developers in China. But the fact is they rarely use these websites and services. You can live without google even you are an android developer.
This long MetaFilter comment from 2007 is my all-time favorite explanation about what Sears had, and what they could have become, and how they let it all slip away:

http://www.metafilter.com/62394/The-Record-Industrys-Decline...

The catalog. Allstate Insurance. Coldwell Banker. Dean Witter. Prodigy! The Discover Card.

The goodwill, the name recognition, the money back guarantee. All gone now.
One thing that rings true is that the most difficult part of discovering an answer is formulating the "correct" question. Once you can articulate the actual question, finding the answer is straight forward.
> Nowadays, the lies would have to be pretty nuanced to have an effect.

You mean like "Iraq has weapons of Mass Destruction, honest! So USA must preemptively invade a sovereign nation." Or, "Obama is a Muslim!" which 29% of polled people believed as late as 9/2015.

You vastly overestimate the sophistication of the American populace.
It thought it meant long-term.
I would. Moreover, I would be perfectly happy with them advertising as such, so that I could know that they were assholes, and happily give my money to their competitors.

Instead, the system we get is one in which everyone pretends to be inclusive, and I end up inadvertently giving money to organizations like Chik-Fil-A.
Sears has good automotive repair services, decent large appliances, and a competent line of tools and car parts.

Their other consumer goods such as clothing, sporting goods, shoes, and electronics seem somehow lacking. There is a disconnect somewhere. Once, while I was browsing at the local Sears, an employee sourly commented, "We sell fishing rods but no hooks."

The prices are high compared to the other big box retailers, let alone Amazon. Their website lacks the rich shopping experience of Amazon. Speaking of hooks, there is nothing to draw customers into the store, no focus, no reason to go in and browse. It's a dull, utilitarian experience.

Sears is big, has excellent brand recognition, and still occupies a lot of prime commercial real estate. What they seem to be lacking is a refreshed product line, cutthroat pricing, and the brilliant marketing and advertising that is needed to draw in business.
Equality does not exist. It is a mental concept created by communist demagogues. The evolution process which produced everything including our minds is based on generic variation and difference in reproductive success.

Equal rights for by definition inequal beings is what smart guys have tried to put into constitutions.

Discrimination against white males is just as bad as anything other form of discrimination.

This is also the wrong way to end up with a more diverse workforce. The "non-diverse" portion of your workforce, who probably highly support your diversity efforts in general, will slowly sour over not being given equal opportunity and float away. It also always leaves the question "Is she really good? Or did she get the General Manager position because she was female?", which again, is not what you want. You want diverse candidates to win the positions fair and square and thereby command the respect of the rest of the team.

The right way to end up a more diverse workforce is to setup a better funnel to find qualified candidates. This requires work (a lot of it) and then a lot of outreach to get them come interview for positions.

But the actual decision for a positions (and as a corollary, promotions) should be on merit, otherwise you are just as bad as the previous state of affairs.
Canonical asserting that the act of compilation creates copyright over the binaries doesn't make that statement true, and IANAL but I don't think there's sufficient evidence that it's likely to be true either - it's not a derived work - it is the work, so the same license as applies to the work would apply.

Ah but it should be :)

That's Calvino's first novel, and it has a completely different style - and is much more boring as far as I remember- from everything he wrote afterwards. I think it was often chosen in Italian high schools for political reasons - it's a story about the Italian resistenza, the fight of partisans against fascists from which the modern Italian republic was born.

His subsequent novels and collections of short stories depart completely from that neo-realistic style. The way to describe them is possibly "a literary Bach" - his stories seem to develop fantastic themes in an endlessly imaginative way, exploring all the possibilities afforded by the theme, (loose) internal consistency and language. My favourites are "Cosmicomics" and "The invisible cities" .

Dynamic DNS might be easier than you think. I used pdd.yandex.ru as my DNS server. It has an API which allows to update DNS records with TTL 5 minutes. So I wrote simple shell script to query my IP from the external site and update DNS record if it changed and put it into cron. Hand-made dyndns and it worked for two years without any problems. I'm sure that there's a lot of free DNS services with API available.
Bash Infinity Framework
I find that even though I don't pay for a static ip from my internet provider, my ip address does not change much more than once a year or so.

I wrote a simple script that emails/texts me using AWS SES if my external ip address changes. Very crude, and just runs every 10 minutes via cron on my raspberry pi.

Then I manually update the DNS I do have that points at that new IP.
The shooters were police officers, not regular hospital security.

NPR did a piece on this case last night. They emphasized that there are standard procedures for dealing with mentally unstable patients in a hospital setting, and the cops weren't trained in those procedures. They ended up escalating the situation.

They also interviewed a hospital security guard, who said the shooting was ridiculous. He said "We don't carry guns. We get hit all the time. We just deal with it."

That wasn't the police approach. One got hit, so they responded like they would on the street and deployed tasers, then lethal force, and followed up with felony charges.

Another issue was that the family asked for a mental health evaluation of the patient. Standard procedure is to immediately provide that upon request. Instead the hospital ignored it. Had they done a proper evaluation, the patient would have been moved to an area where they used regular security instead of police.

As of now the hospital is at risk of losing federal funding, if it doesn't reform its policies to the satisfaction of federal investigators, including better training for the cops and further restriction of their areas of operation.

I'm sure the loss prevention officer who was slamming an old man's head against the wall, yelling "stop resisting" was just traumatized from all the terrible chicken shop lifters.

I'm not saying your idea of the situation doesn't happen, but there are a good number of already unstable people seeking out the job, long before they have a chance to be altered by it.
Is "You owe these pale demons nothing" a quote from something, or a pastiche of some style of speech? Maybe US black nationalism or Mugabe-ism? It's not normal English. Google only finds things about Buzzfeed though. I suspect there may be a lot of whoosh happening here.

There is a reason the Catholic Church uses Latin for important documents. The fact that Latin is a dead language means that the meaning of those documents won't change over time.
In my dreams, the major link aggregators like reddit, HN, and Facebook distill a crowd-sourced abstract for every article making the rounds on social networks (rather than just compiling loose comments). Then a browser plugin shows them alongside the article.
Of course, you should also run "sudo apt-get upgrade" after "update" :)

I enjoyed Bioshock[1], and that was while I still considered myself a libertarian. Heavy-handed political narratives don't preclude decent storytelling, characters, and (in this case) gameplay. Sure, I thought the delivery was a tad blunt and I didn't appreciate the message until later but it made me think and in hindsight it probably put the first few fractures into that worldview. In any case, Bioshock doesn't commit the same literary sins as Ayn Rand. It doesn't monologue excessively, the villain of its political narrative isn't a negative caricature (instead: "brilliant but tragically misguided," which works even better). The game would probably stand on its own merits without the political undertones, even if the latter is what makes it "great" as opposed to merely "good." The same can't be said for Rand's work, but I can't help but feel that there ought to be a place for political narratives in popular fiction.

[1] A first-person shooter set in a zombie-infested underwater failed libertarian state led by a man named Andrew Ryan. Subtle, no? Well, the nuance comes in the form of backstory that you get while fighting the survivors. Briefly, after construction of the city was complete demand for unskilled labor tanked and unemployment exploded. Nascent genetic engineering entered the scene, the market forced desperate laborers to "splice" in order to remain competitive even though it was known to be a Faustian bargain with psychological side-effects, and the predictable tragedy of the commons ensued. The craziest, most spliced-up, "fittest" citizens survived, and those are what you fight as the game progresses. On a macroscopic level the plot begs the question "how can this be a good economic system when it can't even handle mundane declines in growth rate or overcome tragedies of the commons that everyone sees coming from a mile away?" On a microscopic level, you listen to audio journals and ask yourself "this is supposed to be freedom?" or "this is what the market considers 'value creation'?," an exercise which transfers well to real life.
> As a recommendation: Don't run unencrypted services through Tor. I use this ONLY for SSH, since SSH is encrypted anyway.

Why did author wrote this remark? I was under impression that hidden services provide encryption (and even better than HTTPS because there's no need to trust CA). This recommendation is true when you are talking about accessing HTTP sites via TOR relay but when we are talking about hidden services, they are encrypted.

Any theory of society that ignores that it's defining characteristic is that it is NOT fully individual is fundamentally flawed. That is what is broken about Objectivism.

> Internal memorandums insisting that diversity is a key company value, for example, is in fact anti-discriminatory...

I'll disagree here. What counts as diversity is fairly arbitrary. Choosing what counts as diverse is inherently discriminatory. Are veterans underrepresented? Are transpeople? Are people with irrelevant but chronic health issues? Do the age ranges of employees match the regional (neighborhood, city, province, national, international... yes it's impossible to do all at once) demographics?

And because people are diverse and unique, shops can definitely find a diverse group of people that talk, act, and think the same way. Does that still count as diversity?
I have had some recent SO frustration with sheer number of answering/seeing SO posts where I have been like... you really couldn't have just googled that?

I guess basically boils down to conversation vs searching. In the last couple of years (maybe more) I have seen less searching and more asking questions in general. I think a large group of mature technologist know how to use Google and prefer it over human intervention... ie a conversation. That is the initial tech culture was RTFM. But there is a growing population particularly where English is not their first language where they prefer to ask over search. I believe this is also culture thing as well. Perhaps a more social culture.

In the US we are so used to Google but in other countries social media, messaging apps, and improved connectivity are really pushing the "conversation interface" and appears to be preferred heavily over the "search interface". That is people seem to want to ask and not search.

I honestly don't know for sure which "interface" is more efficient or better but clearly given Siri and various other AI conversation thing coming out the conversation approach is popular.
While the first tweet could have been phrased a bit more carefully, I understood what she was trying to do. Saying something along the lines of "we strongly encourage women and minorities to apply" is, IMHO, completely fine.

But everything after that kinda went completely off the rails. It almost looks like someone needs to put down Twitter for a few minutes and take a break.
Curiously, I have had the opposite experience at Walmarts around the country. I've almost always found help when I needed it, the employees seemed reasonably competent and none of these "unemployable losers" that I keep hearing about on social media.

To the extent that retail is still a profession, anyway. A couple of generations back, retail was a high standards industry with highly trained staff and high expectations among the customers.

author here... I have nothing against CoffeeScript, so that's not really a blocker.

For access keys, so far I stored them as stage variables in the API Gateway config. Claudia adds all stage variables to the env key of the request passed to the Node.js handler. That way, they are instantly available to your function, but never shared with Web clients.

I'm not entirely sure how secure this is, but the use cases I used it for are not highly risky. This is, I imagine, equivalent to storing them in the ENV variables for heroku services. (what I migrated from)

one additional benefit of stage vars is that you can use different values for production, dev and testing, and it all works out of the box.

>Discoverability is important to me.

Quite a good point. I think, as techies, many of us focus more on the work itself, and not so much on explaining it or making it more discoverable, understood, and on showing its benefits (at least from the point of view of end-users). (As they say about product marketing - explain the benefits, not the features - though I guess that is not to be taken literally, of course the features should be explained too.). I know I need to do more work in this area myself, and am working on it.

My understanding is that when that set of users is just 1, you can correlate other circuits to that user.

It's not like "oh, running SSH to your home server means you are X", but it dramatically simplifies the task of identifying you.

Most H1B visas go to average or below average developers working via large H1B sponsors like Tata, Infosys, Wipro and IBM ultimately working for IT departments of large corporations like banks and insurance companies.

Only a small minority go to high level developers at product companies.

Obviously, these visa sponsor companies (which call themselves "consultancies") sponsor visas almost exclusively for people from India. But, you could try to apply for jobs with them (possibly even through their Indian websites).

Once you are on an H1B visa, you can try to transfer to another more exciting company.
Really? I buy the argument that doing what you set out to do is not always best, but I find most questions answered with 'Well, you could do this, but really, you want to do this...' on SO in cases like those. Sometimes they are not the accepted answers, but it's rare it's not the top voted one.
In this case Tor is not used for its anonymity but to replace DynDNS.
