I use Scrum and I usually commit about once an hour. More if I'm just bug-fixing or correcting typos or adding comments.

Committing every 30 seconds seems like it would knock me out of my flow so often that I wouldn't get anything done.

That being said, if I'm working in the same files as someone else, I'll commit every few minutes (and so will they) so that the amount of conflicts we're creating don't get out of hand.
While you're at it, it doesn't appear to work with Disconnect.me either.
Project Whack a Mole Part 1 (SDR Direction Finding)
I don't blog, and therefore have never written about the multiple times DTrace helped me and saved me a lot of time.

It also made my job fun again as a sysadmin.

Here are couple of examples I remember, from my days at a large financial institution.

We're planning a samba upgrade on a server with ~700 clients.
Non regression tests show the performance of copying large files has degraded by 30%
Dtrace, aggregating on smbd stacks, helped us figure out the root cause in half an hour. This was reported and eventually properly patched upstream.

We started to dtrace most large batch jobs or apps, and found lots of easy performance fixes. In house apps launching thousands of 'grep", "cut", etc.. with a LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to search over 50 directories OVER NFS. haha, libc's not there, not there.. ! ohhh there it is.

Identifying stupid behavior in vendor apps for which we had no source. (but could complain about and sometimes get a fix)

NIS groups (yeah Im old) slowing down NFS a lot, etc well, I guess I used it with profit at least once a week.

You could probably do some of what DTrace does with other tools, but: it was safe in production, it had little overhead, and it was fun :-)

Ah! I also used it to teach our interns a little about the OS internals. fbt probes with flowindent, watch them go "ahhhhhh that's what happens!".

My current job is all about linux and I wish everyday for something half as good.
So yeah, "it made my life better" is an understatement.

Perhaps the same here - ghostery, noscript and adblockplus installed, and the page says no ad blocking detected! Actually, I'm hoping that this is a success rather than a failure because the next phase of anti-ad blocking is them needing to detect that I'm blocking ads. I, however, don't really want them to be able to detect that..

You're talking about altruism

Not at all. We share things so others can build on our work and share their changes back again. The work gets improved (directly by contributions, or by testing, or just through feedback and criticism), and we benefit from those improvements. It isn't altruism because the reason we share the code is to get those improvements. Without community feedback very few people would bother opening up their source and putting it out in the world.
I am not sure a musical score alone expresses any opinion. The song that comes with it might.

LaTeX is rather the mean by which the text is written, like if it was typed on paper or engraved in a wall. But the text being written would express an opinion.

Developers caring about code readability and style isn't different from engineers having strict guideline on how to express a design in a blue print, making tolerances explicit and the overall design clear to read. That is good craftsmanship but not the expression of an opinion.

The only limit I can think of is when the object itself might have a symbolic meaning. The blueprint of a swastika would be more than just a technical design.

I can also turn your argument on its head. What if I express in code the design of an AK47. It would be free speech. Then for the same reason than a musical score requires an instrument, a 3d model requires a 3d printer. Is the 3d printed fully working AK47 the expression of free speech?
I'm using Linux. It seems that Linux is falling behind in the area of speech input/output. I hope they will catch up.
It's a good question! k8s has the concept of Persistent Volumes - these are either NFS volumes or block devices (e.g. EBS) that are attached to a single node. When k8s moves a pod to another node - it will re-attach the volume to the new node before the pod starts. There is also Flocker by clusterHQ which has support for different volume types and works with k8s - disclaimer - I work for ClusterHQ.

Surprise Is the Key to Unlocking a Creative Culture
natural occurring levels. A person who injects steroids to create hormone levels with order of magnitude above normal levels is not natural occurring.

If you take a number of people with different aggressiveness (or as most studies do, look at chimps with picking orders), and you find no correlation with hormone. Add 5% more hormone, and you don't get 5% behavior. Pump in larger amount of hormone, and you see exaggeration of existing behavior. Remove all hormone, and you see a decrease behavior, but the behavior doesn't go away. Its regulative.

post-partum depression, menopause, and pregnancy all cause major changes in a person. Hormone levels, since its regulative, also change with those changes. There were for example a study at women with abnormal amount of testosterone (but within the limit of naturally occurring in humans). The first studies from 1970 showed how there was increased crime, increase aggressiveness, changes in sexuality, emotions, and the ability to keep maintain a job. When people tried to reproduce those studies, everything was shown to be false.

Recovery from the Depression in the USA started in the mid-late thirties. Are you saying IBM sold computers at that time?
Just a matter of terminology here. I would probably not classify IBM's business machines as computers until the 1950's.
No, actually, it is the direct expression of anger (raised voices, threatening gestures, intrusion into personal space, increased vascularization of face and extremities) that is associated with dominance. See for example L. Z. Tiedens, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 80, among many others. People also attribute greater competence to persons willing to express anger. Passive-aggressiveness and manipulation are generally female-coded and not as high-status.
I would hypothesize that once anger and its expressions (including extreme cases like 'crimes of passion') are included, the emotion gap between men and women shrinks significantly (but does not entirely disappear).
I visited it on Firefox mobile and it correctly detected that I didn't have adblock (as I tend to only read HN and technical blogs on my phone), but the link send me to uBlock Origin's Github page. While uBlock is a nice blocker, if the goal is to encourage adblocking I think it would be better to directly link to the extension for whichever browser is being used as I do not think there is much overlap between "Knows how to use Github" and "Doesn't know what an adblocker is".
'Freight' generally implies the bulk transportation of large quantities of goods. When you said 'small stuff', I didn't realize you meant small quantities of stuff.

The "Why?" text didn't convince me at all, so... why? I'm serious. I don't mind ads and I don't mind being tracked. On the contrary I've found interesting products on banners, mostly due to retargeting.

Since this site's purpose is to encourage people not using adblock to use it I don't think "don't use it then" is sufficient here.
Hmmm, are you by any chance using a filter list other than Easy List in adblockplus?

A gentle point - Here is the value of statying in a large city like NYC. Despite its downfalls, and there are many of those, one thing it does not lack is a spectrum of jobs.
Because that's a form of commercial speech and only has very limited protections under the First Amendment. Same reason that deceptive advertisements aren't protected.
Similar discussion from a day ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11215801

Encouraging adblocking is harmful and discriminating against advertisers. A more appropriate term is content blocking. Indeed, why not to see some static ads and just disable tracking?
Thanks, will take a look at that too. Pretty sure they publish their filter lists, so should be easy to make sure it's covered.
But this isn't about being compelled by the government to produce secrets. This is about the government wanting you to produce malicious code that you're going to give your customers, signed with your keys. So those customers will receive that code from you, signed in your name.
"You could spend spend 1000 or whatever it costs on this thing that vacuumes up paint and put the job in the red or you could spend 10 bucks on some paint scrapers and get shit done in the same amount of time."

I don't see what depressing about admitting that we are different. I find it more depressing to pretend we are and be called out as sexist for being aware of the differences.
My dad has a story about working for TRW in spring of 1971. One of his older wiser coworkers came into his office and said 'take a look at this', and laid down the previous three months worth of internal TRW phone books. They were rapidly getting thinner each month. My dad decided he needed to get out and get out now. Through an old work friend[1] he managed to swing a government position in the Bay Area which he kept for the next 30 years.

He said before he got that job he was thinking his retirement would be to a cardboard box.

[1] Friend pulled my dads application out of a pile of about 500 and stuck it on the top. If you ever want to know what petty corruption is, that's it.
You could extrapolate from the PM863 series which seems to be the closest to this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Pm863-Internal-Solid-State/dp/...
I think the article misses some important context about scale and economic efficiency.

When you have 10,000 engineers then decoupling everything behind protocols and formats makes a huge amount of sense because the coordination costs are astronomical.

When you have 10 engineers then you need to standardise tooling and libraries because the costs associated with diversity in the codebase swamp the coordination costs.
Me as well. Discovering HN was such a refreshing respite from the thinly-veiled political soapbox that is Reddit.
Absolutely. Just wanted to get some feedback on this in its current state. Agree that it should detect user's browser/device and suggest an appropriate blocker.

I wish uBlock Origin had a nice install page I could point to that would do that kind of detection itself. All I could find at this point was the Github page.
I don't get it. A big part of the web is paid by ads. Lots of websites rely on (non-invasive) ads to sustain themselves and provide content to anyone for free. It's safe to say that the whole web sustains on ads (think about google, FB).

I know that sometimes there are too many ads on certain web pages, but that is no excuse to ban them all.

Yes, ads are also used to distribute malware but, come on, it's 2016 and you should have uninstalled both Flash and the Java plugin in your browser a while ago.
.. ish, there are significant differences. In terms of amount of code, minor, but in terms of behaviour, not so. Mainly, when msys-2.0.dll detects it is calling a native program it translates any arguments that look like paths to Windows form. The same is true for some specific environment variables.
My experience is that there are three levels of maths ability among people who breezed A-level, or at least passed it well enough to do university maths:

- fundamentally does not grok University-level maths at all;

- gets "ordinary" university maths (ie redbrick and "below"), but would not be able to cope with Oxbridge level;

- Oxbridge level

There are stark step-jumps between these three, and exam results are not a good indicator of which one an individual actually falls into. In particular, I believe you can be a good jobbing middle-level mathematician by learning the relevant stuff, providing you have the basic aptitude for it, but you need a real gift to be able to cope with the top level, and that's something that an exam format cannot elicit.

Speaking personally, I did an interview at Cambridge, which served the excellent function - for both parties - of determining that I was not in the top group.

The warning is for the danger smoking has for your health. I'm sure cigarette companies don't believe cigarettes are healthy, or at the very least have no negative effects on your heath.

They are just worried that a health warning on all their products would affect their products. Just because they don't want the health warning to be true, doesn't mean they don't believe it is true.

>> it should detect user's browser/device

For me it would just take away from the service, if you want to detect what I'm running, you are only a little better than advertisers. I understand, it is for the 'greater good' from your pov, but this way the means impairs the cause.

Economic downturn happens every now and again. That's expected. You cannot change it. What a software engineer should have done was to be prepared for it. I don't see any valid reasons for him to end up in a supermarket job. 2000s crisis lasted a couple of years at the most. He should have had the means to survive comfortably the temporary time period when he was without an income.

The lesson is: Be prepared as if you are going to be out of job anytime. That's a typical mistake of US based people. US is not a social country, you are on your own when shit happens, you should better be ready for the worst case scenario at all times.

Your monthly income is not for you to spend monthly. It's for today and future.
> Kids are mobile

I was a spoiled kid, I admit, but I remember that back when I was 9 or 10 and my parents asked me if I'd be ok with us moving 4 or 5 blocks down the street, in a better area, my answer was a loud "no way!", because that meant losing my play-mates and God knows what else. We ended up not moving. I know it's anecdotal, but looking at what Hollywood is feeding us (with the latest example being the excellent animation "Inside Out") I get the feeling that is actually hard for kids being "mobile". Parents ignore that at their own risk.
The other issue is it becomes less useful when more than one person is active in the room. Small party? Interface no longer functioning as talking in the background interferes.
And devices that listen to you 100% of the time is yet another privacy concern... even if they don't send everything to a remote server.
Are you serious? Basic browser/device detection to suggest a suitable ad blocker is not really the same as the tracking carried out by big ad networks. I don't see the similarity to be honest.
Stupid article. It tries hard to show Europe as some racist hellhole by completely ignoring certain facts. I remember many countries were initially very welcoming towards those immigrants (despite lone voices of reason that maybe, maaybe it is not that smart to allow unrestricted flood of culturally different people into the country). And only after events such as at Cologne they recognized the need for more careful approach.

There's an "official answer" in the FAQ [1] ("We considered using LLVM for gc but we felt it was too large and slow to meet our performance goals." Note: lowercase gc refers to Go compiler, whereas uppercase GC would refer to Garbage Collector). That said, I seem to recall other additional/more detailed reasons were given on various occasions too, including:

- ease of iteration and freedom to make huge breaking changes (and they did make use of it, see e.g. various generations of the GC, or the SSA work);

- thorough knowledge of the internals of the compiler they used (given they were it's authors; also this is linked to the reason I listed above);

- one of the explicit goals for the Go toolchain was that it must compile very fast (which I believe is also somewhat at odds with advanced optimizations, like those used in LLVM) - they even quipped something like "we designed Go while waiting for C++ to compile";

- additionally, though I'm not sure if it was ever spelled explicitly, I suppose they wouldn't want to get tied to the LLVM as a huge dependency, including having to adjust to each and every change in LLVM API, regardless if sensible or not (I seem to recall from so me articles that LLVM does introduce breaking changes in API from time to time?);

Thank you. You're right, pure host-based blocking is not currently detected by the site. We'll try to include that too.

At the moment we're relying on a rule in Easy List - https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ - it's used by Adblock Plus, uBlock, AdGuard and a probably others. But we need to take into account other methods/blockers that don't rely on this list.

Ads pay for some web sites. People pay for ads because they want the attention of the sites' readers to get them to buy their products. People buy their products, which pays for the ads, which pay the websites.

I prefer to be able to steer my own attention, and not have it be steered by those who win the bids for it. I don't like paying a surcharge on every product to enable this practice. It seems like an inefficient way to finance the web.
