Help and Feedback Trade Skills Not Bills
Hi guys, something quick that people might be interested in! Having been a digital nomad for many years I decided to develop an app for digital nomads/freelancers to connect and trade skills instead of money. We are looking for people to test before the launch. So for example, let say you are a graphic designer and trade a free stay at hotel in Bali! Or trade making a website for 6 months of yoga lessons! You don't need money to do amazing things with your time! I really appreciate the help & feedback from you guys!
The website is www.gotibba.com if you'd like to help!
You can answer your own question and mark your own answer as the correct answer, which does benefit your SO score.
Conditional Access
The type 'return type of f()' is still a type. It does not matter that it is not normalised, most of the C++ types are used in a non normal form. Type 'struct MyKewlMegaStructure' is not any different and not any more "local".
Great! Thanks for this. I had considered writing something like that for ages. Sometimes error messages seem to be created only as a key for a search on Stackoverflow.
The point is that this is not a type inference, it is a restricted form of a type propagation (i.e., a subset of the pre-auto C++ type propagation, not an extension of it).
How does that mean that the type of x is not inferred from something outside the local context?
"If he raises the issue with Apple and it isn't resolved immediately, then it's time to grumble."

Like the developer says in his own Tweets: for that, there would have to be an open channel between developers and Apple. There isn't, developers don't get to discuss with the Apple App Store representatives, it's a one way dialog in which they receive some automated or if they are lucky, semi-automated response from the App Store and that's it.
You might see cosmetics as an atempt to maximize the result of ones own reproduction potential.

About lying to each other, another contradiction. Of course everyone wants honesty, as long as it doesn't hurt oneself.
So your point is that some people do not consider every form of inferring the type of a variable to be type inference. I get that.
you could check out http://webwork.io they have alot of programming and web-design jobs. Good luck
I did not read jedmeyers comment as blaming Microsoft for the collapse of Nokia, I read it as pointing out how little value that corpse has to them, murder or not.
Funny, just installed it two days ago after reading http://melpa.org/#/selected page which hints at it.
Smoke detectors, at least, are designed to go off when they detect smoke. Mine goes off several times per year. Does yours not do that? Emergency parachutes aren't consumer products. Air bags aren't either -- they're required by law. It's not a matter of consumer choice.

Fire extinguishers, perhaps.
The IRS uses the threat of prison to persuade you to pay your taxes.

That doesn't make the IRS "designed" to put people in prison.

I never really understood it, what's so wrong with making weapons?
To the extent that telephones are worse now than they were before (I'm not actually sure what you're thinking of?), I'd attribute it first to the cratering demand for telephones.
Yes, it is easier but is also very rarely done, since if you have scaled another 10x you don't care about the previous stage of scaling and have little incentive to keep the constant factor at that stage low.

I can understand why such systems are built the way they are, but I still find it sad, since it breaks the expectations of open source software, and creates a chasm between startups at the beginning and end of a big scaling phase. It more or less forces you as an early stage startup to use an inferior design which you know won't scale up beyond a certain point, even though know about a superior design that theoretically scales down to your current requirements.
These new notes are paper. It says so on (1).

I don't live in the Eurozone, but I have a new and old €20, and the paper is the same. I have an old €50, and a new €5, and the paper is the same.

Polymer notes almost always have transparent windows, and they feel like plastic, not paper.

Just yesterday I was reading and trying to setup dnscrypt. I don't understand how it differs with DNSSEC yet (if it does).
Strictly speaking if you split the parameter set on batches and iterate over batches optimizing each set of parameters with a gradient, it is not strictly a gradient decent, it is more a combination of coordinate decent (because you select the subset of coordinates to optimize first) and a gradient decent.
Sounds to help you concentrate
The articles talks about "client side tabs". Opera 4-5 (?) implemented tabs based on MDI. That was the gold standard and most versatile tab implementation. You could resize child windows and arrange them so that multiple child windows were visible in the main window while still the tab-bar was useable. (examples: older Opera and older Dreamweaver had MDI and a tab-bar)

Sadly, Microsoft never updated the MDI functionality (eg auto arranging child windows, snapping child windows to a side, icon mode, etc). MDI used to be so great in Win3x and got broken in Win95. The icon mode isn't implemented in Win95 (and later) nor has Microsoft added a native tab-bar based on MDI child windows. On the other side Microsoft Office programs like Word and Excel (at least in v2010) still are MDI based programs which all the legacy downsides that confuse users (who never heard about those partly hidden UI concepts).

Weather patterns for a particular area, places to anchor and dock, safe passages through reefs. You can't always google the answer and much of it is gleaned from other sailors who used experience and their tools to figure it out.

Lots of this information is collated in Almanacks and pilot guides (eg. Reeds Natuical Almanac and the Shell Channel Pilot for UK sailors, plus the books from the Cruising Association and Royal Cruising Club). There's not a lot of incentive for an online version, as the information needs to be accesible offline for reference and in case plans change. However, there is a lot of information in apps: there's an iPad version of Reeds Natuical Almanac [1], Imray has a worldwide Tides planner app [2], and there are apps with charts from both the UKHO and Imray [3].

It's more of a vocabulary issue. In PL theory "type inference" is a well-defined concept. It means that you have the ability to reconstruct the types of a program without annotations.

No mainstream (imperative) programming language has type inference in this sense (for good reasons). That's why the term is usually used with a different meaning when talking about mainstream programming languages.
I'm feeling that about 99% Invisible too. I like the show, but the several minutes of ads and cross-promotion for every Radiotopia production & challenge coins & "beautiful nerds" is getting really grating. And putting random episodes of other podcasts into the feed or as an extra 15 minutes at the end of episodes is really annoying.

I still listen to it, but it's on my shortlist of podcasts I may unsubscribe from in 2016.

Yes exactly my point(people having conflicts) but to resolve them we can't simply "stop" doing cosmethics, we have to be concious about why we use so much of that ( human nature + history) and then think of alternatives.

If you like we need ome kind of migration or negoating strategy.

The problem is people do not live in a vacuum , we live in a attention economy. And people go straight for what they where thaught with ( tradions and values from social environment)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

Love (cosmetics) is at a lower level ( which means it has a higher priority for most people) then Self-actualization
or Self-transcendence (space). Do not forget where we came from, thousands of years there were concepts like cosmetics. But space is alien to most people they can not touch it, they can not percieve or concieve it.

Thats the problem we should tackle IMO.

We'd retain knowledge of technological advancements, but no one would have to use legacy software.
Ok. Then in 'struct _abc x;' we also have a type inference. And in any sub-expression there is also a "type inference".

Although I think this kind of twisting the common term definitions is totally pointless. "Type inference" got a very well defined meaning, which got nothing to do with any kind of a type propagation - the latter term also existing for a reason, to designate a certain sort of type systems, fundamentally different from the inference-based ones.

Sorry since this is not exactly "on-topic", but wanted to share my favourite video about the F1 "Ferrari Enzo versus Mclaren F1 - Fifth Gear" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kLlmxUAB5A

I absolutely love this car. Definitely built for a purpose, not much hand-holding, just the sight of this manual switchboard, the position of the seat, the minimalistic dashboard, ... <3
€500 is worth £390, not really comparable.

£50 is worth less than $100, so I doubt it's of much interest to international criminals.

With inflation, it's useful in Britain, though difficult to get as only a couple of cash points in Canary Wharf dispense it.
Obviously that depends on your personal ethics. A lot of the professional ethics training for structural and automotive engineers, for example, stresses the fact your products shouldn't kill people.

Obviously some people make weapons so not everyone believes they have the same obligations.
I bought his book, "Build Your Own Lisp" in C,and found Corange afterwards. My interests are Lisp and graphics/creative coding/games, so the perfect stumble upon for me. He also created a C library libcello, that attempts to bring "higher level programming to C". A few people have ragged on it, but I think it is just trying to stretch some pre-conceived boundaries, which is alright by me.
Nobody has the budget for licensing the more advanced bits. One of the tragedies of the computing world is how many great features remain locked to a really small subset of clients, because they're only available in the top-tier, more-money-than-god, if-you-have-to-ask-you-can't-afford-it edition

No, I am pointing out that the type is fully explicit here and not "inferred" from anything.
The Google part happened in Maps. It was a mapping product, and now it's a geographical fronted to search. The v2 was all about services on a cute (and sluggish) rendering substrate. It's now usable these days, still way slower than OSM or bing. I miss the old presentation but alas ...

ps: I recently discovered the 'my timelime' feature. Surprising to say the least.
> But there was more to it than that. Hidden inside the repetitive floor plans and the daily schedules of these franchised businesses, Roofman had found the parameters of a kind of criminal Groundhog Day: a burglary that could be performed over and over in different towns, cities, and states—probably even different countries, if he’d tried—and his skills would only get better with each outing. In a very real sense, he was breaking into the same building again and again, endlessly duplicating the original crime.

> For Roofman, it was as if each McDonald’s with its streamlined timetable and centrally controlled managerial regime was an identical crystal world: a corporate mandala of polished countertops, cash registers, supply closets, money boxes, and safes into which he could drop from above as if teleported there. Everything would be in similar locations, down to the actions taking place within each restaurant. At more or less the same time of day—whether it was a branch in California or in rural North Carolina—employees would be following a mandated sequence of events, a prescribed routine, and it must have felt as if he had found some sort of crack in space-time, a quantum filmloop stuttering without cease, an endless present moment always waiting to be robbed. It was the perfect crime—and he could do it over and over again.

> For Roofman, it must have looked as if the rest of the world were locked in a trance, doing the exact same things at the exact same times of day—in the same kinds of buildings, no less—and not just in one state, but everywhere. It’s no real surprise, then, that he would become greedy, ambitious, overconfident, stepping up to larger and larger businesses—but still targeting franchises and big-box stores. They would all have their own spatial formulas and repeating events, he knew; they would all be run according to predictable loops inside identical layouts all over the country.

Personally, I got a bit bored with the author's style of continuously seeking bold metaphors for the same thing, but I'm curious: do people consider this interesting writing, or does this style detract from the content?

I listen to a ton of podcasts, but the one I enjoy the most that gets mentioned the least often is Risky Business [1]. It's an information security podcast that is well produced, entertaining but also intelligent. They tend to not just repeat the news, but often go into more detail about the methods used and defensive lessons learned from the various hacks.

The important thing to remember is that as sure you are that they're wrong, they're sure that they're right.

In general I find that asking them to explain why they think this is causing the behaviour you're seeing they can usually work out they're wrong/convince you they're right. Of course this only works if they don't scream "I've found the bug" every time you step forward.

This is more a job ad than an article. I've wanted to try out Prometheus a while, but can't figure out how to:

1. make it highly available

2. play nice with firewalls

If I deploy Prometheus outside a NAT, and want to monitor 100 physical machines on the inside with node_exporter, as well as a dozen different services, how to make these metrics available?

What if I have four identical NATed sites and want them all monitored by the same outside Prometheus instance(s)?
Then a lot of what people write on this subject seems to be using incorrect terminology, including tons of stuff issued by computer science departments and wikipedia.

After digging a little deeper into the history of this terminology I have to concede that you and catnaroek are right. There was from the beginning in the 1950s a distinction that I didn't know about. So I was wrong.

Thanks to you both for enlightening me.
Yes, of course it is meant to maximize the potential of the individual ... but that doesnt mean it is useful from a objective view, meaning is it useful to humanity as a whole.

(The whole discussion is a theoretical "wouldn't it be nice if" ...)

For example we value clean skin ... maybe because people with clean skin are probably less likely to get skin cancer ... but with cosmetics people are just hiding their not perfect skin ... and maybe even improve their chances of skin cancer with side effects.
So from a idealistic point of view, I think it would be better to accept that most of us don't have perfect clean skin, so what? Where is the point in spending so much effort in hiding it?

When can I post a duplicate?
I just made my first submission thinking HN would let me know if it was a dupe.
Sadly, I checked after and found one with the same title to the same story.
Of course I deleted it and up voted the original but, my checks show HN allows this explicitly.
So when is it acceptable to do so? After a long period since one post suggested that for resurfacing or never at all?
Staying a Step Ahead at Pixar: Leadership and Chaos
Haha, interesting -- i've had a similar functionality that i hacked into my window manager (XMonad) forever ago. I have an arbitrary keystroke that grabs the highlighted (x clipboard) text, raises a running firefox instance, and plugs it into a StartPage search :). Especially useful when a terminal command barfs an error.
Orwell talked about this in one of his essays. The man who does not have fascism beating in his breast can't understand the pleasure of smashing someones have with a boot for all eternity. Sex, money and control have nothing to do with the pleasure of destroying others and their work.
Prometheus can monitor via proxies. Or monitor via federated scraping.

Though it is an odd requirement to need to only have Prometheus outside a firewall.

Edit: guessing from your post - the way I'd do it is run a Prometheus instance at all 4 sites, and have them all federate each other. That way each site is the HA redundancy for the others.

No matter what I say, we just can't seem to agree that, I don't know what exactly I'm going to do.

I have rough idea how to tackle this, but I just can't tell exactly how each idea will pan out. And I also don't know when I'll have to go back and rewrite or refactor something I wrote already.

There's a lot of effort right now going into making OSM itself better for car navigation. (Take a look at the OSRM changelog: pretty much every feature in the last 6 months seems to be targeted to this use case.) And I'd say OSM is already better than Google for cycling and walking routing.

I have often wondered, do we really need any general-purpose registers to be visible in the ISA? Aren't they an implementation detail, just like caching?

IMHO, a memory-to-memory architecture would make for a much simpler ISA and allow much easier code generation (no register allocation needed).
I think the best solution is PGP, it's more secure and is more mature - the issue is that it's a chicken and egg problem. There is no point me sending a PGP encrypted email unless I know the person can or is willing to decrypt it. It's also not very usable for non-technical people (i.e. the people who can barely tell the difference between the Googles and the Facebooks).

It would be great if a popular mail client came out that supported PGP as a first class feature [0], initially just signing messages to get awareness and support out, and then end-to-end encryption. I suspect that'll just lead to governments putting even more pressure on banning encryption though, e.g. in the UK where you can be jailed even if you legitimately forget or don't know the decryption key.

[0] Google released a plugin for Gmail a couple of years ago, but I mean supporting and enabling it by default. There's also the issue of whether a web application is really secure, so an open source desktop/mobile application is a must.
Interesting. I had a consulting gig for a client with a similar problem (though his dongle was LPT based, it wouldn't talk to anything but an actual original hardware port). Extremely specialist software system core to business, protected by hardware dongle. Permanent license but the vendor went away. As did the dongle OEM.

The extent of their problem in replacing the current system is really determined by just how bespoke the dongle is. I had the luxury of working with a windows based stack for the dependent software, albeit 16 bit. Not quite sure how I'd start on DOS, probably time to crank out SoftICE. First step is to hook into the bitstream between SW and HW (write a filter driver on Windows), likely encrypted so one must RE the routines out of program disassembley and put them in the filter driver (or whatever DOS equivalent hack). Thanks to __asm (no longer allowed in Win kernel?) in the MS compiler this may be slightly easier than you'd imagine. Once you're looking at the raw challenge/response you're back to tracing through disassembley in the debugger to find the places where the response is checked. If the system in use is one that was widespread, most likely the challenge/response system was implemented in a predictable way (after the code was written, often not by the original programmers, usually following step by step guides from the dongle OEM) which in some circumstances makes it possible to emulate a sufficient portion of the hardware without knowing any more about it than how it responds to a small subset of challenges.

This is 'easy mode', and it only takes a tiny bump in complexity to ramp it up to 'you'll be lucky' territory. Completely custom hardware and/or non extant vendors will do it.

People have mentioned decapping the chips, but you don't do this to legacy gear that is in your core business path. One of the 'fun' parts of these kinds of gigs is that the client will likely only allow you limited access to the hardware as their business relys on continued access.
