I'm a freelancer, I change team every month or so. You have been spoiled with your team members, working only with professionals that know the JS ecosystem and have defined process and a good management.

You think that most people publishing lib are unit testing them ? JS is the language with the least unit tested code I know. You think people writting JS use node ? Man, you need to quit working for L.A. start up, there is an entire world out there that is learning about stuff as basic as AJAX calls and making libs anyway because they have knowledge about their job they want/need to share.

I work with american clients right now. Well, they are working on an open source code base they got from Africa. The code is not remotly close to your fancy standards.

I worked with people working in the geography field 2 weeks ago.They learned Angular JS. Choosing between the minified and the non minified file was the struggle here. No, they didn't have Node installed. They don't even know what it it. Yes, they will produce JS libs, they have knowledge only they got, and they will share it.

I worked with a friend in porn 3 month ago. He is still using jQuery and manual JS files. Because it works, because it's simple. He is never going to use type script, he doesn't even have the time to read about it. People reading HN are an exception, a microcosme. Yes, he published a lib to generate visual hashes for passwords.

"Everybody should be using typescript, it's so simple" clearly ignore completly the heterogeneous world we work in.

It's pretentious. It's condescendant.

Congrats.
> when blocked that can be a tempting cop out.

Oh yeah, good point. As Pressfield would put it, the important thing is to go Pro. And a Pro would finish the job that he started, even if it might not be "worth doing". Unless you're literally risking your life or something improbable like that, it's worth finishing what you start.
Let's vote: +1.

MS doesn't stand a chance when it comes to me (and I imagine others) trusting them. Too much BS for too many years.
Programmer Finds God in JavaScript Code
HN users confuse me quite a bit.

How would they confirm if you are lying or Telling the truth? I believe the only wah would be to confirm from the organization owner. Or else, ANYONE can claim to have done any project.

I believe they do the same verification (it's simple verification) for roles in an organization.e.g Adviser, Co founder, Investor etc. And the verification is the other way too. If an employer adds you as an employee, you are to verify it too.

I struggle to find what the issue is. Perhaps they should have told you they were going to verify your project?

Animats / John, when you invite your friend on a social network and they send a message on your behalf, is that criminal too? Remember, OP(Oliver) took an action by claiming he did a project in an organization. It could have been true or false.

Don Hopkins, take a deep breath man. You can pass a message without being mean. Except that's the intention for a reason not stated here. In that case, it's all good.
I've never had credit card debt (I just pay back once in a while, or every few hundred euros, to keep the balance out of red) but I've found good way to categorise my spending using credit cards. For example, I use one of my cards for personal expenses whereas we use a joint debit card account from the same bank for household expenses only. Then we have another joint credit card that we use on holidays etc. for shared expenses that aren't strictly household expenses or personal expenses... Very convenient. Also convenient is that instead of keeping lots of money on my day-to-day debit card account I'll just top up the c/c balance once in a while. The opposite would be to move money to my debit card account beforehand, and let it sit there even if I'm not sure I'll spend it in a week or three weeks.
In this case, every giving would be stealing. If I gave you something, you didn't steal it from me. Likewise, if I gave you the right to impersonate me in particular circumstances, it's not a criminal offense if you do.

Meta 2 unveiled at TED 2016
Certainly! I experience this periodically, usually (perhaps always) when I'm approaching new topics or ideas that I'm not familiar with.

I wouldn't say it's writer's block altogether, I think it's just the "stretch" of trying to communicate something you haven't effectively communicated before.

The analogy I would use here is– it's like a standup comedian trying out new jokes. He knows that it's funny, but the audience isn't laughing– because there's something about the delivery that he isn't getting right.

My advice for people struggling with these things is to do multiple drafts. Try to write it down, then start over altogether from scratch. Explain it to other people. After a while, you'll start "catching" the right turns of phrases and sentence structure and so on.

I'm imagining how this could be used for board of games (magnetic dice and boards, changing the landing paths and probabilities of outcomes, and much more), and for hinges (imagine multitools with a few magnets used as switches to lock/unlock and open it up one-handed), etc...

Combine this tech with electropermanent magnets like Project Ara originally was set to use (an array of switchable small magnets) and you could do ridiculously cool things!

If one permits exponentiation, then one would also permit tetration, because it's the typographic mirror. It also turns the question to one of radix informational efficiency in base 10 to one of typographical misinterpretation. Unfortunately, in this case, the typography is not interesting, because although I say implicit, I really mean "implicit". It's actually explicit. You can consider the the superscript here as functions taking inputs -- not digits, and thus is not a question of radix information efficiency.

Machinery is different from operators. We don't need to talk about other radices because digits explicitly means base-10.

Algebra is the math of symbolic logic, of objects and morphisms. I am not opposed to symbols, but rather the inclusion of operators. I also mention tetration as a cheeky answer, because I think it's as pedantic an answer as exponentiation.
I imagine this would be massively more difficult to do with SC2, due to the much higher variation in pixels.

For Atari games, they limited actions to 50Hz, which is not entirely out of reach for human beings. I guess they would do something similar to make the SC challenge fair as well.

Title makes it seem like this is from GTA: San Andreas when it's actually from GTA V.
The central bank in my country have issued similar reports describing the relationship between reserves and possible loans as indirect, even in the presence of the reserve requirement here. This requirement, as I understand it, a legal restriction, not an economic one, and it is rather soft. Imposing such a requirement does not fundamentally change the nature of how money is created.

> Banks have to be able to fulfill checks cashed at other banks with real, central bank issued money.

Increasingly less so. Especially since nobody buys a house with cash, and that's what most loans are for.
Especially since it just seems to wander and never stop to eat. Surely it should be programmed to graze for a while when it sees grass or tasty foliage?

OK, so there are criminal and civil liabilities for pwning corporate websites. But it's OK for corporate websites to pwn user devices. Because there's a $5K damages threshold for CFAA, and also a damages threshold for tort class representatives.

That's arguably a huge bug in the legal system. Maybe there's a niche for private compensation services. Anonymously crowd-funded. Somali model.

Generic classes/treatments/therapy on addiction already exist. Marijuana has not been proven to be physically addictive like alcohol & heroin. Psychological addiction can happen with anything, so that is why I mention generic addiction treatment.

I think your point is valid though. We can always learn more, especially if it can help.
5 obvious ADVANTAGES of Wireframing
What exactly does that mean? MVCC is definitely different in Oracle and Postgres, but that doesn't mean it "takes over the heap" it just means it stores a new version of the row in the same heap. Later on an auto-vacuum process clears out the old heap page, or sometimes on demand when a select, update or delete accesses the row.

Oracle stores the old version of the row in a rollback segment.

According to the following article, "only changed values are written to undo whereas PostgreSQL/SQL Server creates a complete new tuple for modified row. This avoids bloat in the main heap segment." [1]

Awesome Medium Clone
I find it interesting that you don't see the problem. I suspect that is a large part of why companies like FB and the various advertising networks are utterly blind to what will eventually be their downfall.

Here is a nice example of a sample consent form the kind of which one would expect to fill out before having one's data be used for any kind of study:

https://www.irb.cornell.edu/forms/sample.htm

Not being informed about the fact that your data is going to be used in a study, that the results of that study are going to be published is un-ethical in several ways, for one it presumes consent where non exists, for another it is a breach of the law (because it violates the original purpose of collection). Not that Facebook would care about any of the above but companies and institutions that play by the rules would require the researcher conducting this study to obtain consent from the subjects.
How the Connected Business Card Will Change Doing Business
So, I'm autistic. Anyone who follows me on HN or Reddit has seen me speak about what it's like to grow up autistic in a part of America that didn't officially recognize Autism (let alone variants like Aspergers) until it was too late to help me.

I sometimes do suicidal ideations, but then the part of me that is usually being like "hey, you can't have fun and enjoy yourself, because ten years ago someone you didn't know very well said bad shit about you" (ahh, depression, my old friend), is like "you committing suicide isn't the answer... them committing is a more acceptable answer."

And, well, that part of me is right. If you're that big of a pile of shit to attack people based on their disabilities, well, society doesn't really need you, and you're representative of the cancer that is killing society.

And, for a while, I'm okay again. The depression goes away, and I start functioning half way decent again.

I will say, though, 200mg of Theanine twice daily with a strong cup of coffee (and only one, let's not get into caffeine obsession), one an ~hour after I wake up, one about 6-8 hours later, powers me through the day and shuts that part of me up.

I strongly disagree with both sentences.
Limiting the number of APM could be a solution to the bias you mention, especially if the AI eventually manages to beat an expert human player with lower average APM. Of course having a real robot using a mouse and a keyboard would be even better in the long run.
CoreForce had this for Windows 2000/XP: http://www.coresecurity.com/corelabs-research/projects/core-...

It was based on a port of OpenBSD's PF firewall and let you set fine-grained permissions on file, network, and registry access. It's a painful training process for newly-installed software (lots and lots of prompts) but I haven't seen anything else come close to what it offered. I wonder if that pain is why they seem to have abandoned it; at some point the average user would end up just uninstalling it or clicking "Allow" for every prompt.

Once up and running, however, you could do some really cool things such as giving a process read-only access to its installed directory plus the ability to read/write to a specific folder you store that program's documents in. Attempts by the program to read outside those directories would be rejected, with mixed results (from gracefully handling it, to endless alert dialog looping, to crashing) depending on how well the software was written.
really great consumable cards
If I were the writer of this article I would rewrite as follow.

"So why, with all this, am I certain that Microsoft can't be trusted?"

If I want to say "So why, with all this, are many open-source fans and developers certain that Microsoft can't be trusted?", then I would want source to back me up. This is how I want to earn "Trust" :)
I wonder if this kind of behavior is not creating an obstacle for their move towards opening their own software and convincing people to use it outside of the Windows environment. I'm sure all these nice new things have OS licenses that protect their users, but who knows in which direction this will develop. People have become pretty sceptic of the Oracle owned line of technology as well recently.

One of the most touted features is "your JavaScript is already valid TypeScript" (or pretty close), so I think they will keep the defaults so that JS developers can just change the .js to .ts and be up and running with as little friction as possible.
If it isn't in released, it isn't in the majority of people's computers.

Normal people don't install development versions.

A sandbox isn't full proof, but it is way better than not having anything.

It will never be the default, but its not a big deal as you can set it up in the project configuration options.

Not sure why the default matters at all. The idea behind TS is to be able to gradually turn up the strictness dial as you migrate from JS

It is, of course, perfectly legal to do that with permission.

The problem here is that it was done without permission.

The OP is claiming that the impersonation without permission is a crime, and that it is impossible to waive the crime-ness of it through a contract.

Doesn't make sense to me. To take care of those needs, we don't need to be awake nearly as much as we are. On the other hand, staying awake all the time would have moderate efficiency benefits and provide a lot more protection from threats. So we should either be sleeping a lot more or barely at all; the middle ground has no benefit under this model. The model of sleep as recovery works a lot better for the durations we see.

That's correct, but with chess engines (the strong ones) the heuristics of evaluating a position is hard-coded.
Avoid these 4 statements to inspire success
An AI with human-like abilities (so no infinite APM for instance) would be great for balance problems in competitive video games. Just run the AI a certain number of times, and if some race or unit always wins the game, there's definitely a problem.
Maybe, maybe not. If it turns out it's only a biological cause (waste disposal, tired neurons, ..??), this would not be the case. But good point.
They do something similar (though less creepy) when you add a team member to your own org. I've got replies from people to emails sent out with my name, and my address in the reply-to field. They're deliberately crafted to seem personal, with I/you/me/us peppered throughout the body and "Thanks, [your name]" in the sig.

Ultimately it's a social network with accounts for orgs and people - it's no surprise that people are getting _some_ notification, but the impersonation is a little discomforting. It would be totally find if they just showed it as a template and said "hey, we're about to send this, okay?"

"the difference with chess is there's no simple known heuristic to evaluate a board position"

While it is indeed hand-coded in most chess engines (I'm sure there are some experimental ones, but that's not the path that leads to beating human grandmasters), these heurystics are everything but "simple".
Keyboard: The QWERTY Theorem
This is a remarkable point you're making. Everything is relative to one's own reality. Thanks for the comparison with runners, I will use it, it's a telling example of what recovery means.

I'm a programmer, and I don't know how it relates to what I do, but I've already set my mind on finding out.

--edit

Imho the core of this idea is that "recovery" applies to many things: how early can you get another 4-hour coding session? How much did the first one tire you out?

How well do you recover after a failure? Bug in my code? I jump on that immediately and don't think twice about it; an argument with my girlfriend / co-worker / boss / parents? Not so much.

I believe you can train both your body and mind to get better at this; get better sleep, see a therapist.

Even more, you can tweak life's settings to work in your favor: a stable relationship, better/quieter housing (or job), savings etc.

The comparison to stealing is frankly ridiculous, as the law doesn't say you can't transfer money. It will explicitly talk about consent. If contracts allowed you to agree to anything then minimum wage laws couldn't work. Which side the impersonation laws fall on will depend on how they're written.
