Sorry, but I'm not running your Java applet.

Perhaps you could port your game to something like Processing.js? It allows for very Java-like syntax, compiles to html5/js and is good with graphics.

Because life is not black and white. Everything is is just shade of grey.

Russian Hacker have a choice:
- hack for Russian Government, potentially leading to people being killed.
- hack for blackmail where hacked western company will need to pay fee data/ddos.
- work as bounty hunter making pennies for sometimes weeks of work.

Someone from US with the same skill is working as:
- penetration tester,
- security consultant,
- do bounty hunting as hobby

Majority of hacks you will never hear, It is only happening when:
a) Company decide not to pay blackmailers and screw the users,(Tumblr?)
b) Competing company pay for hack to destroy competitor(Ashley Madison?),
c) Is done by foreign country as mean of attack (Estonia/Github)

Single people being blackmailed is usually done by friends family. Let say that you "best" friend knew about "your" Ashley Madison account, he would use this as opportunity to blackmail.

Were Russian vegetate in the middle of Siberia, US gentleman is having fancy dinners in SF. If you want to have moral outrage do it for US companies Yahoo, Google for sharing data with Chinese Gov.
Alas yes! In hindsight not the best choice of tech so a Javascript rewrite might be on the cards.

Yeah. I'd be more sympathetic to this approach if they were honest instead of blatantly lying.
What a character. His famous Columbia University speech from '82 (excerpts: http://govleaders.org/rickover.htm ) contains a quite a bit of wisdom that, whatever his flaws may be, is still quite poignant, valid, and something which people in program management and government circles should internalize.

The word "controversial" is used a lot with respect to Rickover, but that word is so clichéd today that virtually anyone that gets things done can be so labeled. However, Rickover truly seems to deserve that categorization. Beyond the Wikipedia article and "Rickover: Controversy and Genius", are there any other sources you and dctoedt would recommend to learn more about him?

Fanboyism toward Steve Jobs causes me to reflexively cringe because of the extent to which the ends were viewed as justifying the means in his management philosophy. Not to mention something approaching a sadistic streak. It would seem that a similar lens should apply toward Rickover.

Ask HN: What Are Core Concepts, Language Neutral?
Hi,

I hear very seasoned senior developers with wealth of experience, always make this statement, i.e. The Mastery of Core Programming Concepts is the key and that a language of choice is just then used as a tool, hence the aforementioned Core concept mastery can be ported over to learning other languages.

So my question to Senior seasoned developers is thus, can you list this core concepts? I believe that if one can identify these core concepts and then get to master them, via drills and exercises, that will bring about proficiency.

I liking this to my knowledge of the Martial Arts and I am sure this is true of other skills that one acquires. So with the Martial Arts, you start with basics, that is Stances, which is your foundation, proper form, then you get into punches, strikes etc. and then you get to work on all these individually and in combination, regularly, so as to build muscle memory, this polishes your proficiency over time. You are also taught forms, what you will call in Karate a Kata, which will encompass the stances, strikes etc that you have been taught individually, but now as a pre-arranged sequence, which helps you to some extent understand the implementation of the basics / techniques.

So in my mind, if this can be broken down and thought of and structured when it comes to mastering programming, I believe it will make the learning curve less steep.

Please I will appreciate your feedback.
I think your experience was an exception, maybe you were more careful with the MacBook Air subconsciously because you knew it couldn't withstand being thrown around like a cheap whore ?

Also you can watch how the markets values second hand laptops, generally you will see that second hand thinkpads retain more of its original market price then second hand any other laptop.

Having said that thinkpads usually do not have the best screens - but even though its slightly brutal to not have a good screen anymore, I am more comfortable with the fact that I do not have to worry too much about my laptop not working or overheating.
Salesforce to Buy Demandware in $2.8B Deal
We lasted about five minutes in the Episcopal church near us. Our two-and-a-half year old was happily talking about the stained glass windows (months later, he still talks about them), when someone came up to "helpfully" tell us where the nursery was. "People are trying to be prayerful." She was slightly confused when we headed towards the exit rather than the nursery.

I think we're going to give it another try - we've since met some other members who were horrified at our experience. :-/ We'll see. If they want to drive away families with young kids, I figure they'll last another 20 years or so…
Wow. I was about to write that I'm writing a simulation engine to try and understand quantum physics better. Then I saw the image on your post, and I now see that you are far ahead of me! :D
Not sharing orthodox beliefs may not be an impediment to joining and participating, as you say, but it will be a dividing factor over time, unless you 1) fake it, or 2) go to a liberal church. The problem with liberal churches is they're small and don't grow.

People are attracted to confidence, so when the preacher, members and staff continuously and confidently proclaim their certainty in that which is difficult to believe, attendance and membership swell. People with marginal faith would fit in better at a liberal church, but mostly they're turned off by it.

Thoughts on Timeouts. Wait, uh? We’re waiting how long?
that's kind of a stretch on the definition.
Thank you for the comment but your recommendation is unnecessary - from reading your post it is clear that the major components of my complaint were understood without issue.

Disrespect occurs with or without intent. The original poster's comment can only be construed in one way: the Swiss do things this way, it is better, and therefore everybody else does it wrong. The claim (50% spent on planning) is clearly and demonstrably wrong. As someone who works in the tunneling industry I take personal offense to the implication that we (Americans, British, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, everyone not Swiss) don't "invest the time up-front in planning and thinking" before we "set the machinery in motion" and that we have a work methodology that isn't "oriented towards reaping long term profits with interest".
So much hand-wringing. Anyone who thinks Britain is corrupt has never been to a corrupt country. I lived in Britain 5 years and never had to pay a bribe, ever. In some countries bribes are required to even clear customs. Then driving in from the airport, the police stop you at road-blocks and demand bribes. And so on.

Hi Everybody!

For the last month I've been working on a Flask extension called Flask-Ask I want to shamelessly plug. The "Ask" part stands for the "Alexa Skills Kit", which is the service behind the Amazon Echo family of devices.

https://johnwheeler.org/flask-ask/

As the Echo and products like it penetrate the market, investments in NLP and AI will go up and latency in dialogue will go down (latency is already at <= 1.5 secs!). It's a fantastic time to start learning.

I've used a lot of web frameworks, and I love Flask! I've used it pretty much exclusively for the last 5 years for all my projects. The Alexa Skills Kit is based on its own Request/Response model built in JSON on top of REST, so it made sense for me to incorporate a lot of Mitsuhiko's architectural patterns, like decorator-based routing, context locals, and templates, and adapt them for Flask-Ask.

I put up a 5-min tutorial for Flask-Ask here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC2zi4WIFX0

You can develop without an Echo Device using Echosim: https://echosim.io/

Thanks for checking this library out. Of course, there's always room for improvement. Open an issue and start a discussion!

An entirely legitimate concern if you're in an EU member state or a place with superior protections.

While the EU may look at the US and think of how they have much better protections, both the EU and the US can look at China and see a difference of magnitudes. The standard EULA for companies operating in China already speaks volumes.
I think it's not a source but a removal of distortions. If there are a lot of people with PhDs but what society really needs is a few ditch diggers, then it's right that ditch diggers be highly paid. If theoretical research is "difficult" but fun and rewarding and ditch digging is "easy" but boring and stigmatized, it's right that ditch diggers be paid more than researchers - and note that this will also mean more effort is devoted to automating ditch digging than automating research.
Also, you could clone to a thumbdrive and push to / pull from there. No servers at all.
What makes you think I don't use that criticism against everything equally? Law is supposed to prevent harm, not to satisfy feelings.
I think in a lot of places churches have served as a defactor "third place" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place) for communities. It seems like the decline in church attendance mirrors the decline in a lot of third place spaces. None of my grandparents ever attended church with any regularity, but I know that they were all involved in various social and community activities with the types of clubs that don't seem to exist anymore. Friends of mine with kids have parenting meetups, and I try to make technical meetups when I can, but the rotating group of people and the fact that they can be difficult to get to make them quasi-substitutes at best.

Japanese government debt to GDP ratio is 229%. Japanese government has kept lights on with 15 years of constant deficit.

Fortunately most of this debt is internal and in local currency (no fear of hyperinflation). But Japanese are getting old. In a few years Japanese insurance companies and Japanese savers turn from net buyers of government debt and stocks into net sellers.

It's interesting to see what happens then.
The authority to send to your mailbox is ambient, meaning anyone can send to it at anytime, and ambient authority is trivially abused. Abuse can only be prevented by doling out least authority, not ambient authority.

In this case, at the very least a mailbox address would be a cryptographically unguessable identifier. Ideally, each person to whom you are introduced would get their own unguessable mailbox address that acts as a proxy for your real mailbox, and you can delete that proxy anytime you wish to stop receiving e-mail from that person (and anyone with whom they shared your address). This completely eliminates the viability of selling your personal information to advertisers and spammers. Obviously this process has to be simple and semi-automatic, preferably transparent, or people won't be able to use it (like the web of trust), but the idea is sound, and based on capability security.

People already do something like this manually with subaddressing, and it seems the general concept I presented above has an official name as "disposable e-mail addresses" [1].

How to avoid wasting megabytes of memory a few bytes at a time
Your argument is dominated by pragmatism, which often obfuscates what religion is all about.

Great communities are a consequence of the chosen lifestyle and morality of religious people. You could gather just as many atheists and the response wouldn't be the same.

EDIT: I'm not saying an atheist community would be WORSE than Christianity.

I'm saying it would be DIFFERENT from the Christian one.
Daydream and Gear VR cannot do spatial VR (where your head moves left a few inches) which severely limits the immersiveness you can achieve. It's like watching a 360 video on the Vive or Rift. It's not a good feeling. You can look around but it's completely obvious that your head is not modeled in the world.

Unless they invent/integrate tech like Project Tango into most phones and make it work for spatial location this is not a problem that can really be solved on mobile.
For the game - I would be delighted to test it, but most likely this weekend or so. (Plus, Java sadly isn't the most user-friendly interface for browser-based things.)

Why Sons Hold Marriages Together
Yeah, I was just thinking this - reading around it a little bit, it seems that it's the cloud aspect that's where the hesitancy is for a lot of players (correct me if I'm wrong). If BigCorp is always going to have some on-site IT/server resource, then surely the best middle ground is renting out the software, letting BigCorp store the data on their own servers, and then charging for training, backup and integrations?
are there different ways to put boards together so that they all run *nix? or are intel, asus, msi and gigabyte all doing the same thing?

Um, that link establishes that the word has had very strongly negative connotations since at least the 1850s.

The article states that it had "more neutral" connotations earlier on...in a society that enforced racial human enslavement.

I think the housing troubles could easily be fixed if those jobs which can easily be moved over to telecommuting were done so over time. Like honestly, how many devs and QA staff have to physically be in the same place throughout the work week? I'd understand if we're talking a firm that built physical prototypes for products but a website/service is easily accessible from the high rise office as it is from home office. At some point, software development is going to have to suck it up and be 100% remote for day-to-day concerns (excluding certain meetings with clients and the like).

Most of the heat flow from the thicker continental crust is attributed to internal radiogenic sources, in contrast the thinner oceanic crust has only 2% internal radiogenic heat.

In the Swiss alps most of the heat is coming from local radioactive decay.
> patents are mostly used as anti competitive behaviour; it is not related to "innovation", nor is it related to research and development.

Generally, patents are derived from R&D which is where innovation directly comes from so it is "related". At the very least this is true in Microsoft's case.

Regarding anti-competitive - it's only anti-competitive if someone else attempts to COPY the innovation. They are free to innovate and come up with an ALTERNATIVE. The more alternatives, the more choices for consumers. If you want to copy then sure - patents block, but if you want to innovate then patents can provide incentivizes to carry that out.

Religion consists of a set of superstitious beliefs and a set of philosophical beliefs. When setting aside the superstitious part be careful not to lose sight of the philosophical part that makes sense. I think the reason a church provides social cohesion and belonging is because it is literally a group of people trying to become the best human beings they can be, a process that involves feeling their own and being aware of other's emotions every day, and that is a beautiful thing. I suggest finding a philosophy that involves looking into yourself and follow it with a group of people. Personally I am fond of fundamental Taoism. It involves worshipping no deity, but rather to be aware of the inter-connectedness of the universe.

'I point at the stars and the sky ripples.'

I would disrespect people who feel lonely by calling myself lonely - I have a handful of very close friends and am in a relationship. I don't find it easy to connect to other people in meaningful way. What needs to happen is both persons being in a spontaneous state, and that's a rare thing to find because at least one person always has somewhere to go or something to do, or is scared of something or is too attached to something, preventing the two people from enjoying the present moment.

One more word about 'science and atheism': I'm put on notice every time someone mentions those two as axioms to follow. Atheism means to me disregarding spirituality at all costs, and considering only scientific facts means invalidating personal experiences of themselves and people around them.

'A; Today I went X and saw Y and felt Z'

'B; it is scientifically proven when you X you feel Z but it doesn't mean you Z1'

The reliance on facts puts the emotional part of the conversation aside in favour of logic and rationality and reduces the potential of building a connection.

But hey, I'm not an expert at building relationships in the first place, these are just my thoughts and personal experiences, compare them with your own and build your own framework.
