THIS.

Imagine you tell me that by not joining a certain club in my town, (golf anyone?) that I’m missing out on job opportunities, social events, even marriage possibilities.

Well, yes, obviously I am not doing some of those things with my time. But I’m doing other things with my time. So in what sense am I “missing out?”

I’m only missing out if I know for fact that I would gain a deeper sense of satisfaction from those other things. And if I’m currently happy, the onus is on the person telling me that I’m missing out to prove I’d be better off joining the club.

Naturally, if my days are empty and my heart sad, that’s different. But coming back to LinkedIn, the simple fact is that lots of people who aren’t on LinkedIn think they’re doing just fine.

Being born in 1980 I think this is the first time I've seen myself included in the group millennials. I have always though of that group as those born after 1990.

My age group, at least in Norway, seems to be fully employed and own houses etc.

To be fair, given the speed at which storage space has grown over the years, it's not really something to worry about in the context of archiving material for future generations (which is very different than being able to quickly download something on the internet now, for example)

There was a huge industrial boom post-WWI. At least in the US, there was also a big agricultural boom in addition. See Ken Burns' "The Dust Bowl" for a very shallow treatment of it.

The Mongols were advanced in ways and not in others. The Aztecs ( really, the Mexica ) were as well. The Aztecs come off as bloody.

At least for the Mongols, once a conquered place knelt, they were left alone ( outside of taxes ) and were now on a trade network unlike what had ever been seen, which generally raised standards of living.

For a blinding array of reasons, things ground to a halt in the Interwar period, leading to the Depression. WWII ended that... Our collective, international inability to manage monetary policy lead to something like 4% of humanity being put to the sword.

So who's bloody now?
Some people might view your situation as very advantageous. No ties, no strings attached, nothing to hold you back. Your opportunity in life is a blank slate, in a good way.

Take every odd job that shows up, and amass some savings towards a long-term goal. Travel the US, or the world if you can manage.

Making friends is easy, keeping them can hard. Join some local clubs/organizations and put yourself out there.

Fear can be a motivator if you let it, use it to help you avoid the undesirable outcome.

Some of these sound like platitudes, but they do hold substance. It's easy to find yourself in a situation that seems hopeless. What you do from that place is important.

I used to do "10 USD" or "USD 10" until I got sick of hearing responses like

"USD 10 looks weird, why did you do that', or 'that on the pricing page looks funny, can you fix it up a bit'

It seems $ (or the equivalent currency symbol for other currencies) has a place in many peoples minds implying that the number it is next to is currency, and they seem to find it weird when things involving currency are 'written correctly' without the symbol that the numbers mean currency.
Well TIFF has very poor compression leading to large file sizes compared even to PNG. And thus no one uses it on the web.

FLIF has very good compression, it will only download the minimum amount of data required to display the image at it's current resolution. It supports 32-Bit images/animations/transparency. It does animation playback in realtime while it's downloading the file. So as it plays the resolution just increases, you aren't waiting for the next frame to load, only improve. FLIF can also handle the incredibly high resolution images that TIFF is usually used for, and can even do tiled rendering, where it only loads the chunks of the image you are zoomed in at into memory at that resolution. Meaning it takes less time to render those chunks on gigantic images and it uses less memory to do so.

FLIF is an incredibly powerful format that offers a lot. It has archival, scientific, and web purposes. It likely won't be useful to those in 3D or Gaming as files like TGA are better suited for faster reading/loading where as FLIF is a little slower to decompress than PNG. But then again, game devs have been optimizing resource usage for a long time giving models that are further away lower poly counts and lower quality bitmaps/textures. So having one flif image to work at any distant may be of use for them, where they truncate the file at different lengths depending on distance from the camera.

There is a lot to be explored with this format, and it isn't even finalized yet.
Yeah, I'm certain they would have refused behind closed doors if they could. I don't think they had that option.
While the amount of seed and early investors nearby I'm sure has a major role in startup culture building I still think Austin is a great city for startups.

Not all startups need to raise money... but most startups need smart people and a fun place to live. I think Austin provides both.

Obviously if your life is not matching the expectations built into you from before you were aware it was happening it is because the expectations are bullshit. I am looking forward to a return to communal living and away from these ridiculous status markers being labeled independence and success.

Modern medical science came to be from Napoleon's conquest. Plenty of wounded and corpses to ... experiment on. So it's like that.
FLIF allows for animation, and it is very possible to interpret each frame of the animation as it's own layer. This would year the same lossless quality as a TIFF at a much smaller file size. Though FLIF isn't intended to be used for this purpose, neither was PNG, and that didn't stop Fireworks from abusing that format and adding layering. The same could be done by someone who wants to add a little meta data to the file to let layered flif opening applications know that the frame are to be interpreted in that manner.

This format isn't complete yet, if layering is important to you, you should join the gitter.im/FLIF-hub/FLIF chat room.
Ask HN: Reputation systems that balance incumbency
Are there any internet based reputation systems where value/rank/weight is influenced by time?

For example articles at HN have a time weight due to chronological ordering but a time effect doesn't apply to user weighting.

I'm asking about this for broader applications and not so much to determine if one way is better than the other.
Strongly agree on the point of "... wasting time on getting languages to work ...".

I checked my version of Transmission and i'm still on 2.84. I guess I dodged a big bullet, but tonight i'll go through the diagnostics to see if any versions prior to 2.90 were infected. I may do it sooner if I get a quiet moment at work.

My Synology NAS uses transmissiond for its BT Client, so I will be contacting them to see if they are affected by this issue.
I don't disagree that it's possible, but I'd like to find documentation. The income inequality analysis you linked to seems to be applying the equivalizing to produce a proxy for individual income.

6 Growth Hacking Tips to Improve Your Business Strategy
As someone who's going through this process myself, here are some tips:

- Have a clear goal about what you're building. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll end up getting lost.

- Start the research NOW. It takes quite abit of context switching between research and dev. The sooner you get a clear view of how to build it, the better.

- Use tools, frameworks, other people's code, etc. but consider the learning consequences.

- Layout daily goals and your roadmap for all your features. Put it in your calendar

If they haven't actually A/B tested this, then perhaps nothing has changed and they could also realize an increase in sales if they did the same thing. Because they are big they probably wouldn't get as big of a boost, but again, without actually testing, it's only guessing.
Sometimes Lisp can get annoying though. I've used libraries where a function might return 5-6 values and I only need the first and last. I need to bind all of them and then (declare (ignore...)) the useless bits otherwise I get compiler warnings.

It's an annoyance, because I always feel the general ethos of Lisp is to eliminate tedious typing and multiple value returns frequently add a lot of cruft.
It took me a minute to realise why there are only read and blue sections.
Perhaps, but I'd like to see it account for the number of dual income vs single income families too.

Communal living is great in theory, in reality it is a shitshow. Boundaries are important.
Current plan is to keep lossless and lossy versions of the format in the same bitstream for encoders/decoders and to differentiate the output files encoded to be lossy as ".flyf" (Free LossY image Format), and those that are encoded as lossless as ".flif" (Free Lossless Image Format).

However renaming the files from flif to flyf or vice versa would have no effect, they would still be opened and decoded the same. It's merely meant to convey to humans the intention of the person who created the image.

From my understanding, not much focus has been given to lossy endcoding as of yet.
It depends on which story you buy. An American in 1925 considered America a "shining city on a hill" relative to corrupt old Europe. That American was doubtless isolationist.

After the heavy propaganda campaigns to get Americans to accept WWII, that's no longer been the case but there is cognitive dissonance. The leadership does not always have conveniently available justification.

There were Congressional hearing on Vietnam through the years, and various CSPAN channels run them. It's worth learning the language from there.
But that's another advantage. Each image would have to be distributed alongside it's javascript decoder. Even if the format is abandoned, the decoder will still be there, and it will still work on that webpage.
People usually don't go to a status page to see if a page is reachable from their computer. They know that already. They want to know if it's a global issue, and if the company is aware that it's down, and when it will be back up.

London Vue.js #2 (Live Q&A with Evan You and Vue: Simple and Great)
Not even programming. CS has one of the worst employment rates of all degrees.

Admittedly a lot of arts grads don't get jobs as artists, where most CS grads are only really interested in a programming job.

But even so - the skills shortage is somewhat mythical.

As you say - the remuneration shortage is more obvious than the skill shortage.

Housing costs in London are in the same ballpark as SF, but £40k is considered a generous salary for permanent developers. £60k might be possible for seniors.

It isn't unusual to find web dev jobs offering <£20k.

Work in the City offers much better pay, but the culture can be pretty horrific for anyone who isn't suited to it.
I don't see any scare tactics, and no-one's pretending to be non-profit who isn't. The LGPL terms are really not very onerous (we're not talking about the GPL here), and do make users' lives a lot easier.

The right answer is "I've been meaning to endorse you but I've been really busy and I'll get to it real soon now".

Speaking of procrastination, the original author should consider that procrastinating is observationally the same as not using. The original author is of the strange binary opinion that having an account means having to use the service. There's nothing wrong with setting up an account then basically abandoning it. Thus no weird interview discussions about "no account". I'm part of the post-FB, post-linkedin, post-twitter generation and I don't use those services more than once a year or so, but I do have accounts specifically designed and curated for the amusement of older HR-types. Aside from social media job descriptions, no interview ever ended early because "I don't goof off online very much". So set up the account and procrastinate at using it.
Matthew answered that below, but at this point our L3/L4 attack handling is mostly automatic and we would protect the FREE web site. We can dynamically adjust DNS to do all sorts of things when we feel like it.

PyDev of the Week: Chris Moffitt
Not at an interview, but I've certainly been asked about it in the informal social conversations that often are the precursors to eventual formal interviews, and people often seem skeptical when I say I don't have one (much in the same ways some people might react skeptically if told that someone doesn't have a github account).

What specific goods and services do you believe have become available, but not for the poor and middle classes? Can you name a few?

It's definitely healthy for me to recognise that I as a middle class westerner live better than almost everyone in a developing economy but if the answer to "where has all the new wealth gone?" is not "too the poorest economies!"

Luckily, the answer is "to the poor and middle class".

Reverse Engineering Samsung S6 Modem
Yeah, writing C++ code that works on both Windows and *Nix means I can't use straight POSIX, and usually wind up with Boost ASIO and Filesystem. Putting them into the standard library means I've got two fewer libraries I need to worry about in autoconf.
Clear communication and emotional intelligence. Both need your time and it may actually be good for you to get away from your business.
I don't think it's about being "above average" or achievement, I think it's more about being railroaded into the bourgeoisie family ideal. Obviously this is a very middle class problem to have by definition, but I don't think that it's "entitled" or "bizarre" to feel stifled by social pressures. This anxiety is hardly specific to millennials.
Yup, I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say I quite like strcpy()

In good code it spells out in one glance that there exists a guarantee on the size of the destination buffer.

Supplying the string's length just brings redundant code and, with it, ambiguity.

Discouraging strcpy() use is fine and understood; I'm aware of all the caveats and bugs and security implications.

But the kind of black-and-white thinking that says "always use strncpy instead of strcpy" is bad; the idea that truncating a string magically absolves us of any security implications or the need for exit paths.

And then let's look at how much code has made a mess of strncpy() whilst thinking it was doing the right thing.

I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've wanted to copy a string but been happy for it to be quietly trimmed, even in extreme cases. Whereas anything from alloca to flexible array member, or copying a string back to its original buffer, are all very appropriate use of strcpy().

War is almost never to "make a profit". There have been "filibusters" that were more like that; South Africa and South America were mostly the location for those.

America in WWII might have been better served by simply being the Arsenal of Democracy and selling war materiel. I'd be hard pressed to say that Europe would have been better off. But this is just one of those things about nation-states that we live with. And please realize that Hollywood was overtly pressed into service to sell the War to the American people.

I'm not advocating isolationism. but Americans at the time were highly isolationist.

As a hacky workaround you can have the JS decompressor replace img tags with a canvas and draw on that, or create a data or blob URI and apply that to the img tag (I'm not sure which would be least efficient).

Pretty amazing! Particularly nice is that an alpha channel and animation are also possible.

One critical sidenode: it seems FLIF is still not as good as JPEG when used as lossy compression (this is something the benchmarks do not show well).

For example, go to http://uprootlabs.github.io/poly-flif/, choose the monkey image, choose 'comparing with same size JPG', and set truncation to 60% or more.

Also, I'm not sure how efficient en- and decoding is for FLIF.

That's unsurprising. Norway and Sweden have had low headline inflation for the past few decades. Note how the person in the article complains that her cost of living scaled with her promotions and pay raises. Although there was a brief bout of deflation in 2008, one of the primary mechanisms of the generational theft is deficit spending y governments which perpetuates secular inflation and steals from the future to pay the present.

Interesting that you imply that Left would like less war.

It seems to me that the progressives main thing is to tell and enforce how others should live and behave, that is the core of the left, the other ideas are just branches. Evidence is the congress votes in USA by Left to start wars and votes by Taxed Enough Already (TEA) to defund the wars.

I think it's obvious that what people mean is that "more unique" = "unique in more dimensions" or "the degree to which this differs from the norm is greater".

E.g.
(2, 4, 7)
(2, 4, 8)
(2, 8, 4)
(2, 4, 7)
(1, 4, 8)
(0, 9, 3)
(987, 4, 7)

When asked what are the "most unique" sets in that list, you'd probably be acting deliberately obtuse if you chose anything but one of the last two.
I don't THINK he his terrible. He is terrible. This is not a subjective point of view. There is enough evidence.

A guy who wants to ban people of a whole religion to enter his country, who calls all Mexicans rapists, a guy who publicly promotes bullying and discrimination, a guy who feels he has to defend the size of his penis, a guy who lacks any kind of manners, any empathy, and any cultural sensitivity, is a terrible person to be the president of the a very powerful and influental country. And a terrible person in general.

The public figure trump is, by all measures of the civilized, modern world, a terrible person. And the only three groups who would support him are: 1) terrible persons themselves 2) stupid 3) desperate.

And 3) is the most likely option. This vice documentary shows the desperation of Trump supporters quite well. Or rather, the hope they put into Trump as a result of their frustration and desperation due to the seemingly never-ending struggle they are facing.
