Getting some insight from the pirates would be interesting. If a pirate is detected, pop up a quick radio selection box:

Thank you for playing the game. I noticed you pirated it and would like to know why (you can still play the game):

* I can't afford the price

* My parents wont let me buy games

* I want to try the game free first

* I believe games should be free

* My computer is old and I don't know if it can play this game

etc..

We did this on our site when someone downvotes our content, and it gave us valuable feedback.
Because whatever the idea is, it probably won't work and then there wont be free education or any money.
Great. But as an end user I "utterly" hate the Chrome/Firefox model of endless updates.
I'm a smaller phone fan, and that's perfectly fine with me. You're welcome to your large phone if that's what works for you; I just wish more manufacturer would also make high-end phones that are under 4.5" screen size, i.e. with good screen, memory, camera, speed, etc. I've never had an iPhone, but I'm glad that Apple is making this. Hopefully some of the android manufacturers will follow suit, or I might seriously consider switching.
On the subject of keyboards, I have always found the iOS keyboard to be the most satisfying to use, possibly also the most accurate. What do other people like using?

I liked the windows phone keyboard, thought the Fire phone was okay, but am chronically unsatisfied with the Android typing experience. I have played with a few but settled for a while on Google Keyboard before moving onto Fleksy which isn't bad. Shame its broken for HTML text input fields...
Culture means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. There definitely needs to be a mechanism for capturing the energy from a company that a candidate can experience at their leisure. An onsite isn't good for this due the stress of an interview, Glassdoor isn't good due to its bias toward negativity, social media is in the right direction but corporate social networks are usually closed off...

...Perhaps a corporate slack channel that candidates are invited to join?

If AppCode ran on other platforms and became a Swift IDE that would be great honestly, not sure how long before JetBrains attempts this. As things stand those of us curious for Swift without any access to Apple products are left with just plain text-editors.

Visual Studio Code March Update
"This issue was addressed through improved input validation." Valuable refresher for everyone.
May I ask what games you play? There's a couple I really like, like XCOM, but... man, I've scoured the app store for hours every 5 months, pick 5 games, install m, and get frustrated with all the shit. Just inapp this and that left and right, no gameplay, lots of multiplayer games with 0 strategic component and they're either massive time sinks in grinding or pay to win...

Other than an occasional racing game, they's just nothing there I'd play. And even racing games get old fairly quickly, tilting a screen as a way of controlling a car isn't exactly the type of coordination challenge that keeps me enticed for long.

I totally hear you on little time to settle into a PS4 game, life with family, work etc... it's tricky to get a good session in like the old teenager days!

Anyway I get the appeal of a tablet to some extent for non-work stuff, for sure. I have a tablet. But the pro-element I don't get, especially when paring it with e.g. a keyboard etc, then I'd prefer a laptop. But I just can't imagine doing actual work on that thing, over e.g. a Macbook!

Anyway let me know if you have game recommendations on iOS!
Back during the dot com days the joke was the only motivational poster that did anything was the whiteboard that had the current stock price on it.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say "Wow I really like the motivational posters" but I have seen some that went pretty wrong (and as a result were ineffective).

So my guess is the have high downside and little upside.

That said, nice artwork (no pithy saying), seems to always make the space feel more inviting and comfortable.
You sound almost happy about the fact we have a new IE6 in our midst.
Relevant for "on the ground web devs", which is a very small market.

Safari will remain relevant for a long time as long as it is the default browser on OS X and iOS.

I prefer Safari and don't care much for 6-week release cycle for Chrome and Firefox. If anything, they've gotten worse in stability since they switched to 6 weeks cycle for me.
It's perfectly rational for Chomsky to stay on board because the expected benefit to his goals from divesting from the system is much less than the expected benefit from staying within the system and criticizing it.

Doing things on principle can be irrational.
That's my point: I hear him criticizing the military industrial complex, but I haven't heard of him penning a letter to the MIT Board of Trustees, soliciting the support of current and emeritus faculty to join him as the undersigned, to divest from Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and the like.

If I've missed it, do point me to it and I'll recant.

Ask HN: Do you test private methods? (Programming)
I read online that it is bad practise to test private methods and that you are then testing the internals of your class.. but..

I think this reasoning is too strict. Sometimes your private methods won't need testing but having a hard rule just seems silly.

What if I have a private method that calls out to a service and manipulates the result. I would want to test that. I could put it in it's own class and make it public.. but why would I? It's cleaner, easier to understand, easier to refactor and easier to test when it is just a private/protected method.
I am surprised that I didn't think about this till now but Go has simple enough syntax to where Lisp could be translated into Go code, and I wonder why Haxe doesn't translate into Go with that same thought. Go definitely has plenty of libraries at it's disposal standard library wise.
A CJ610 engine doesn't have complicated electronics to integrate, and would allow aerodynamic test data from a subscale model. For comparison, the two J85 engines in a F-5E could push it to over M1.4 at altitude.
Or as long as Apple keeps enforcing the "Safari Engine Only" rules on iOS. I think a lot of people would consider switching if Chrome for iOS was legitimate Chrome (rather than a Chrome UI with a Safari engine).
Is this a common bug? Were you seeing it in some kind of developer release, perhaps? I've never had that happen to me, and I browse Youtube in Safari every single day.
I was forced to stop using Safari on my iPhone 5 because it became unusably slow after loading only a handful of simultaneous tabs. The changes came after one of the Apple updates and after that I had to switch to Chrome for iPhone.
The article focuses on universities' investments in hedge funds specifically. The numbers in the article suggest that on the high end, about 10–20% of an endowment will be in a hedge fund.

The question I have is, what are the typical returns just on that 10–20% investment?

The endowment can do poorly (as bad as or worse than an index fund) as a whole, even if the investment into hedge funds is paying out well.
There is nothing flat about iOS7+
Similar situation happened with Monument Valley, a game that hit #1 on app store and won a 2014 Apple Design award. The devs tweeted that only 5% of Android players paid for the app. On iOS, 40% paid [1]. Later they released some sales numbers that show only 2.4m sales but 10m+ installs, implying that the majority of their installs weren't paid for. [2]

"""One of the terrorists pulled out a laptop, propping it open against the wall, said the 40-year-old woman. When the laptop powered on, she saw a line of gibberish across the screen: “It was bizarre — he was looking at a bunch of lines, like lines of code. There was no image, no Internet,” she said. Her description matches the look of certain encryption software, which ISIS claims to have used during the Paris attacks. """

Possible explanations:
1. POST
2. Linux
3. Elm/Pine/Mutt

There are enough hints in her description that the woman they talked to would be 100% content with an OS that booted directly to the browser, and furthermore, she wouldn't know the difference.
Hypocrisy is such a boring & irrelevant criticism in most contexts. His critical theory is much more important than his practice. He has to survive in the world that exists, not the one he wishes existed. There's really minimal value in such a symbolic gesture as rejecting a pension, and criticizing his ideas on such irrelevant grounds takes away from actually talking about the issues raised.
Prices can be manually entered per country or calculated from a base price in your account currency. In either case it does not change again until the developer updates it.
Funny how they pushed iMessage as getting around an obvious cash grab by carriers and then push this obvious cash grab.

I think it's important to know that this was explicitly designed to target black people, not an accidental overreaction of well-meaning but not-modern, not-PC white people to a terrible problem. If you take Nixon out, you don't have that.

A terrible fact is that elites still love Nixon. They don't want him brought up because he undermines them morally: they supported him at the time, and they still share his political outlook. He left so many candid recordings behind that there's no denying that he was a vicious, stupid, paranoid, superstitious man, and that the views of his contemporary detractors were more than completely confirmed (even they couldn't imagine that he was literally screaming about the niggers and the jews during policy discussions.)

Nixon created the strategy that has culminated in this Republican primary. Ignoring Nixon is a problem.
That is pretty awful. Have you found an alternative that you can suggest?

Does $15,000 matter, as a business expense on a billion-dollar deal?

I agree tele-presence makes sense, but when $15,000 means as much as the price of a Starbucks coffee means to you and I, the price is so irrelevant, it's like us meeting for coffee, saying to each other "I'll get the bill", and then thinking it's more effort than it's worth to even bother expensing it.

Frustrating that it doesn't specify how it gets those versions. Is it always direct from the node folks so it's going to always have all versions or do they have their own cache?
Agree with you qualitatively about the need to get out of one's comfort zone, avoid "local maxima", and never consider oneself an expert. However:

But at companies who are employing the top 5% of the top 5% you will probably won't even make the first round of phone screens.

There's so much noise, context, and (as you acknowledge) subjectivity in how performers are evaluated that a statement like "We hire only the top .25%" can't possibly have any meaning. Top 5% might be about as far as you can push it. But even at that level, at best it's just a metaphor. And by itself, it doesn't provide us with any tools to reliably determine membership in that category.

Other than, of course, the tried-and-true method of throwing out a series of hoops for people to jump through over the phone, on your live coding portal, and at the whiteboard (ignoring all the built-in selection biases in this process: from whether candidates had had that very problem fed to them in another interview somewhere; to whether they spent 3 weeks to 3 months doing nothing but prepping for your hoops, day and night; to the simple matter of whether they're having a good day that day).

And then stack-rank: "See, only 5% of email applicants made it through our phone screen and take home test (which we had to re-design midway through because we realized we weren't stating the requirements properly, but whatever). Then we brought in 10 or so of those for interviews, until basically we got tired of interviewing and decided we had to hire someone. Ergo, we only hire the top .5%."
It's not surprising that Brazil, Russia, and China top the list for pirate users. This game is probably very expensive for users in those countries, if they are even able to easily pay for it.

I never understood this. Who wants to mess around with the file system? 95% of users probably don't care where or how the OS is storing your data. They only care that they can access it when they want to access it. The only people that care to have that granular control over the file system are the people that want full control over the device too and those are not the demographic for iOS. iOS is all about making it simpler for people to do the things they want to do. Manually managing a file system is the opposite of simple.
That would be electropermanent magnets
This does NOT make you the majority of customers and it certainly does make Apple care about your opinion.

Please no.

I really love Safari for being just a really good browser. No 'sneaky OS' like Chrome (I don't need Chromes User management, thank you, and I'd much rather have my OS's context menus and font aliasing), and speedier, if you will, 'snappier' than Firefox, with its custom animations for every button and overall not very 'native' look and feel.

No, I want a browser that does what a browser should do; let me easily and speedily browse the web. Safari is great at that.

I don't think he's done that, but what possible use would that be even if it work? Talk about raging against the smallest possible cog in the machine.

He objects to the present practices of the US military industrial complex, if he managed to make MIT not take their money someone else would and nothing would change.

Trying to do this via MIT's budget would be a pointless distraction to achieving his stated goals.
Fair enough. Noam Chomsky says a lot of things, I would have figured he'd have criticized his employer at least a few times. A quick search finds he has criticized universities for various things...
Why couldn't long press do both? Make "wiggle icons" the top app shortcut or something. ("Move icon" would probably be a less silly name.)

You don't see how what you just wrote is drastically more complicated to the average user? Tiny differences in time and pressure determines two different features when pressing an app icon.
But due to the nature of closed iOS, Chrome on iOS uses the same engine as Safari...
Yes I get free redbull, lunches, holidays, accomodation etc. in my job. I can choose what restaurant, what airline, what suburb to live in. To make it easy they just pay me thins thing called "money" which is like a token for all the free stuff. Awesome!
How is this not a red-herring? Does "massively profitable" mean the same as "the most profitable"?

OP's point is that there is allot of money on the line and that serves as inertia to keep the highly punitive measures in place. $1.7 billion is allot of inertia. It might not be as much as Exxon who wants to deny global warming, or Walmart who wants more "free trade" but are we to ignore mass incarceration because there are more profitable moral hazards?
Isn't that Adam and Eve? I remember reading about this awhile ago.
such a "flow aware" bucket resiliency might work if a single LB forwards to all backend servers.
but, as suggested in Maglev, if a ECMP is used towards multiple such Maglev LBs (each of them are forwarding to a set of backend servers), then we cannot pursue a (distributed) "flow-aware" resiliency..

in such cases, only consistent hashing or maglev hashing might be the only option.
We have a tv per desk (we have wide u shaped desks in an open-office) above our desks in my office with chromecasts in them. Presumably these tvs are for showing things off, or displaying things should we ever have a meeting in our production area, but for the past 3 months I've been here, I've just seen beautiful sunsets, waterfalls, cats and many other relaxing images.

Just walking into the office, or taking a break from a frustrating problem and seeing these 30second (or however long) stills has done infinitely more than any motivational poster could or would ever do for me.

You have to press pretty hard to trigger the second click... Once you feel it click the first time, don't keep pressing harder?

Assuming you haven't set this already, you can go into Trackpad preferences and change it from Medium to Firm. That'll switch from "you have to press pretty hard" to "goddamn dude, are you trying to break the trackpad in half?" If you're still doing that by accident, you can disable it completely.

If anybody has a force meter handy, I'm curious what the actual numbers are on these.
