Hi! I'm Francis Perron, co-founder of GitMarket. I am the designer and front-end developer.

GitMarket is a marketplace for developers by developers, where you can sell your code or buy someone else code.

We were tired of current marketplace who sell code in zip format, which is not convenient. We think Git is a better way to do it, just like open source with GitHub.

We need the community to make this project successfull, so please signup, share, like and feel free to ask questions, I'll do my best to answer everyone!

Thank you :)
What I learned from interviewing 50 marketers
Can you explain that? Caro-Kann is 1. p4 c6. I can't quite work out how to munge that to p4wnc6.

It would be great if they case a Muslim woman to play Holmes.
Hm, I've never tried that, might work. I've needed this for running tests, where I really don't care for reliability, so I've just set tablespace on ram fs. Creating new files would still cause fs writes, but it might not be an issue.
Pretty much the same sort of experience you'd get travelling any international borders.
Caches are nice though. Compromise and make sure it's checked against a hash provided by the first party?
Australian, can confirm they fingerprinted me on the one and only time I visited the US in 2009 - and I was a minor then as well.
UK seems to have the most adoption of F#.
That's interesting. I also read it as "Four", but now I look at it and it reads "five". Could be some brain trick.
It's not about lying, it's about giving only the information requested. "I'm attending a conference" would have been ok too, or even "I'm travelling for business" - I've used both in the US without the border agent asking any more questions.

When you volunteer a lot of information you come across as nervous, and sketchy
It's kind of ironic how nowadays more people are using Vim.

Are they? Based on my totally unscientific observations vi(m)s popularity has dropped over the past 15-20 years
So using one spelling over the other - spellings that are the outcome of hundreds and hundreds of years, multiple languages , war and who knows what else - is some how remotely connected to pretentiousness? That was a really, really strained dig at Brits I must say.
Wait what, what rights did she not have?
> into your future Cessna-Android and flying off

Dear god, please don't let Android anywhere near my airplane instruments and flight controls. It's like the exact opposite of a real-time system - practically guaranteed to hang and crash.
What I do is ask them about previous projects. 1. What was your favorite project and why? Explain. 2. What was your least favorite project and why? Explain.

I can get a good idea of the person through those two simple questions. I throw a few simple technical questions like: What is a primary key? What is a foreign key? What is inheritance? What's the difference between a function and a procedure (Delphi days). Questions that anyone should be able to answer just by writing code.
It's essentially because it's a very special case of coming into the country for paid work (albeit very temporary!). As such, it falls, by default, into the laws regarding temporary work.

This was a bit of a surprise to me. Is there a disproportionate amount of people in Finance using F# compared to other technologies? Any particular reason for that if the answer is yes?
Responsive Infinite Scroll in React with Fixed Scroll Height
I've not said OP should be quiet, nor it was my intention to imply so. I simply felt strange to read complaints about something, that the OP's country excels at. Shall it be connected with some awareness about that fact (much more than the mere line you're quoting) it wouldn't feel odd to me.
Heavy games don't seem to rank well in app stores
I did not know that about MacDonald. Thanks for pointing it out. Do you agree, though, that such examples are rare? The original premise is that in math it appears self taught is not really a viable route for all but a very small few.
I don't see it as a complaint about the ability to write code for the Web, but rather a complaint about they way some people choose to exercise that ability. Seriously, it is crap that the Web feels slower today than it did in 1998, despite gigahertz of advances in processing power, many multiples more CPU cores, much larger pipes, SSD's, etc... And a lot of that is exactly because pages are loaded down with so much crap (ad networks, tracking scripts, etc.) that must load.
I've had friends fly in from Sweden, Canada, and the UK several times, and they have had no notable issues with border control.

That's not to say it never happens. Clearly if it were an endemic issue we'd hear about it far more often, but even if rare, experiences such as Rachel's are still deplorable.
Why is messaging on Android estimated at less time on the top? The other estimates are the same.

‘Chemophobia’ is irrational, harmful – and hard to break
Mouse is always easier for new users to learn. Keyboard is always faster for trained users and anywhere with tight processing performance metrics you'll see almost exclusively-keyboard users.

Ironically, a lot of users still prefer mainframe applications over newer GUIs for the same reason.

Source: I've worked for quite a few "on the floor" user processing centers for various types of data. 30s-2min per work item type of stuff.
How would you know the Graph ID number if someone doesn't explicitly tell it to you?
The hour estimates are off by at least an order of magnitude.

Not included is the infrastructure necessary to ship something like Instagram (testing, monitoring, deployment, beta, etc), even if you leave the massive scale of Instagram out of the picture.

Much more significant is that even the relatively rudimentary 2010-era Instagram was the result of thousands of hours of polish and refinement after the initial product was built and released to the public.

There are zero products that go directly from mockups to success. It's relatively easy to knock off something that already exists and is proven to work.
Google maps is a reasonable use of javascript. Using a dynamic interface like that vastly improved the user experience. Can't say the same about showing an textual article or a photo.
So the victim is to blame for their honesty? How does this improve security?
As well as the setup and maintenance of infrastructure.
I believe data would still be written out to disk (unreliably) during checkpoints with this config.
I'm not suggesting that, but that economics changes things much more rapidly, c.f. 5G, which may roll out multi-gigabit speeds to consumers far before landline.
Violence and waging war is/was commonly considered an honorable deed by many tribal cultures.

Pathological inequality is not.

>laws are there to enforce our human understanding of fairness against our human nature of selfishness and greed.

The fallacy of this statement is that laws are just words in paper which have no power to enforce itself.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
And yet more knobs is the difference between Photoshop and Elements, or Elements and Photo Viewer. I'll be Photoshop is full of features with <1% usage, and that's how it should be. Those components don't have to be (shouldn't be) displayed at equal visibility to others, but they shouldn't go anywhere. The entire value of the program is that if you do want them, they're there.

Removing low-use features is a dangerous game; much of the best software out there (Excel, Photoshop, Viz, etc) is defined by an enormous feature set and a high skill ceiling.
Yes.

Most people who aren't in the tech just launch a word processor (word, libreoffice, etc.)

Tech people on Windows use Notepad or a similar GUI program.

Vim is used by a tiny, tiny fraction of people in the world.
generally speaking, countries don't want you to be in them and be paid by a foreign company.

Think about it, if you're in the UK but being "paid" by a German company, are you really paying the right kind of taxes? What's to stop every major corp from having the Cayman Islands branch hire you.

Usually people working for foreign corps end up actually being contractors (and paying self-employment taxes or whatnot).
I'm not justifying what goes on there, but I happen to know someone who works in the immigration detention centre at one of the major UK airports. This article is right: you do not want to end up there. He is a guard at the centre, and must deal with the business of (sometimes forcefully) removing people from the UK who have been denied entry. He has dealt with people from almost every country in the world in this regard. Listening to his stories, there are huge differences, in general, between the people of different countries. Dealing with Russian people is different from dealing with Nepali people, or Japanese people. He thinks about how to approach people based on their nationality, because that's the patterns he deals with. You cannot expect people to maintain racial or cultural blindness in such a situation.

This is of course exacerbated by circumstance. In that harsh situation, like in any prison (effectively what it is), people mob together into their tribes, and in this particular situation, those tribes are based on nationality.
Does Facebook's response not having capitalization also worry anyone else more than the security hole? ;)
Infographic: The making of a collaborative robot
The thing is, I think the thing we want and the thing we get are two different things now. Its not a question of tech, such as Javascript, its a question of: I want to read, write and communicate. What I want basically, is an RSS feed reader and writer that actually works. I dont want adds, for the most part I dont want images, unless I specifically seek them out. What we want is the web experience that something like Instapaper provides, which is to isolate the content of the blog post or news article and eschew all the rest, and present it in a readable form in the font I like. This makes the act of information intake painless and flow easily. It sounds ridiculous in a sort of post-RSS environment, but what we need is RSS, to be implemented by someone in a way that makes it work, so it will be used by everyone.
> The big problem with a spec like this is that the app you will get is not going to be anywhere near the level of quality of an app like Instagram. You have to set customer expectations or you will spend a huge amount of time litigating whether or not the app is 'done'.

This. In my experience of building apps under contract, the concept of the MVP is not very well understood outside of our tech industry echo chamber. We regularly have clients who know the term and "want an MVP" but when it comes down to release act completely contrarily (mostly trying to delay releases for additional features, more polish, etc). Client education and carefully setting expectations are key in this line of work.

This estimate also complete ignores billable time for project management and testing.

Edit: And design, if you want your app to look even remotely different from Instagram. And devops to stand it up in a scalable way. And maintenance / service agreements to keep the thing running...
Back then Internet Explorer was the superior product, being fast and clutter free.
Why would you want that instead of AJAX-y functionality? Page reloads increases wait times, and depending on use case, drastically increases page size.
F# is a functional first language, yes, C# with Func<> can do many things, but functional code in F# is just smooth and easy, unlike C#, where you have to put up with lot of noise.
Thanks @tehwebguy - This is why I like HN.
Theranos the movie
I remember lan parties fondly. In the late 90's I worked as a computer lab technician. After closing all the lab techs would get together to play games. The most fun was playing DOOM with a 3 screen setup (Left,Center,Right) with 3 PCs per person. A sort of poor man's VR.

Those days are long gone but so very fondly remembered.
Mozilla is in the right place to implement two things (in a non-profit way): A centralized sign on a-la persona and a browser-mediated payment solution. These two would move the web forward in a fantastic way.
I think the idea is that the "smart" person will be able to learn what they need to on the job quicker. The person with lower grades may be a better developer but right now of school I think most employees are hiring based on potential and culture fit vs actually development ability.
In my view, the worst part about including javascript everywhere on the net is that it limits scraping to the big guys who can afford to run all sites through a js interpreter. Google, Facebook, et al. And making them, even moreso than they are already, the de facto gatekeepers to information.
If the cost is $2,250 and they charge $9,000 for the post-purchase upgrade, then they only need 25% of buyers to upgrade the battery later for it to break even, and that's ignoring any cost savings in the manufacturing process.

Isn't it illegal to work for money while claiming you're just doing tourism? Seems like it could get her denied from future visits.
OK. I won't take that bet, because you're probably right. :)

I'd still like a more general solution to determining the authenticity of statements on the internet.

In practice, people use Twitter for that. Seems weak. But, I don't use twitter, so I'm disregarding the community trust aspect that you described. Maybe it deserves more respect that I'm giving it, but we do have PKI available...
I agree, but I have to say this: "second-generation" cannot be "immigrants", I hate this pseudo-definition with all its jus sanguinis connotations. Second-generation means you were born and bred in whichever country your parents happened to live in. You are from that country, period. You may or may not have a passport (because jus sanguinis is a terrible, terrible weed growing on law systems the world over), but you are not an immigrant.

I am an immigrant; my children, who were born in UK, are not. They might be second-generation this or that (lasagne lovers from Cheshire? Northern-England pizza connoisseurs?) but they cannot be immigrants because they. did. not. immigrate. anywhere. Logic and reason are very clear on the matter.

I think you just wanted to say "second generation nonwhite Muslims", which is correct as well as much clearer on the matter and nature of the hatred.
i hold gopher in high regard. For most personal projects, gopher would make everything so much easier. Add a bit of convenience stuff, like basic text and image flow without having to do any css . navigation solves itself with gopher. wham, the perfect personal web page.
That's not an immigration matter, though. As far as I'm aware, taxation policy isn't really something that comes into play with UK immigration.
The web I want is free of junk loaders, javascript tracking ad garbage making my page requests crazy slow, unpleasant and hard to use.

You should try Brave if you haven't already.
> In some countries just conspiring to commit a terrorist act can lead to a conviction

One of those countries would be the US: conspiring to commit any federal crime is, itself, a federal crime [0], and the US federal terrorism statute (which only applies to acts outside of the United States, though acts of terrorism within the United States are covered by other criminal statutes) also especially criminalizes attempts and conspiracies.

They aren't being obscure about it, they are selling the 208 mile range and that's what the car will inform you of when charged.

I think if you say that Tesla is liable for mistakes you make with one of their vehicles you make it hard to sell kitchen knives.
The Sejm of Poland adopted a new anti-terrorism law
Metro Denver single-family home prices approach a median of $400,000
Strikes me the correct thing to do - unless you regularly need to drive >200 miles, in which case the decision makes itself - is in fact purchase the 60KWh version and just not buy the upgrade. The battery wear leveling must use the extra capacity, presumably? - otherwise the remote upgrade would be a dicey proposition, surely. So it's not like you're missing out.
And how you will provide multi gigabit speeds to a 100 people in close proximity simultaneously? There is the question of throughput of the whole network.
This and other articles blames the recession for decreased fertility, but I think it's more likely that the health of young women is getting worse. Unhealthy women have a much harder time getting knocked up.

I have a friend who was put on Depo-Provera in her late teens. This time-released xeno-hormone is used to suppress women's fertility for 3-months. They told her the bleeding should stop eventually, and gave her a second shot, then a third shot. When she was still bleeding after 9 months, she decided the doctors were clueless. While the bleeding eventually stopped, she never fully recovered.

This recent story said that women have gained more weight than men:

> I'm never sure if Theresa May is evil or incompetent.

Why not both?
It sure worked well for everyone that knew the Boston marathon bombing terrorists. /s

The whole "investigate anyone who's ever been friends with anyone who's been investigated for terrorism" workflow just winds up wasting resources and screwing over people who don't deserve to be screwed over.

I supposed we could fix it by going back to a society of hunter/gatherers who have little to no contact outside their tribe, after all, it'd be in the name of "preventing terrorism."/s

I understand that one has to choose their friends and not associate with obvious terrorists and organized crime but that just builds groups that reinforce each other. Incentivizing communities to become more politically homogenous just breeds more terrorism. If radicals only hang out with radicals they become more radical. That's why we have neo Nazis and white supremacist groups. Nobody wants to hang out with them because of the social stigma so they hang out with each other and create an echo chamber.

If nobody but the kid that secretly wants to shoot up the school will hang out with the other kid that secretly wants to shoot up the school you get problems, problems that scale to white supremacist groups, Al-Queda and ISIS, heck it even scales all the way up to major religions. How many hundreds of years did it take for protestants and Catholics to stop throwing each other in jail every time their land was conquered by a king of the other religion? How are the Sunnis and Shia doing?

I'm not by any means advocating for social/political homogeny (1984, Brave New World, etc). However, when the rules of society include "do nothing wrong and you have nothing to fear" people surround themselves with people of similar belief and kick out those that believe differently because what's right and wrong are determined by consensus. That's how you get two kids that think shooting up a school is a great idea, or ten guys that think bombing some sports event is a great idea, everyone (no matter how few) around them agrees.

So if you really want to prevent terrorism become friends with that awkward quiet religious fundamentalist guy in your office (or the doomsday prepper, or the racist or some other generic example of a person that usually becomes a social outcast). Everyone seeks out a group to be a meaningful part of. The enemy sets the bar for inclusion low, anyone can wear a suicide vest and the gun doesn't care if the person pulling the trigger is socially awkward. People join those groups and surround themselves with other radicals because all you have to do is believe what they do and you're part of the team.

Shunning people that are a "little bit too extreme" because associating with those types is suspicious and not something you want to involve yourself with just provides an incentive for them to associate with each other and create a positive feedback loop.

No it's not a problem for anyone here but indirectly it's a problem for everyone here.

Do the people that were friends with Eric Harris, the Tsarniav(sp?) brothers and Jihadi John but let that friendship erode are glad they no longer associate with those people or do they wish they could have done something?

lol I had to do the fizzbuzz test a few weeks ago

the modulo operator was obvious to me and after the interviewer kept adding conditions to the problem, they then asked me why I didn't concatenate strings instead of my approach of returning the string in each conditional statement

so fellow engineers, without having the telepathic skills I possessed that allowed me to know exactly what traits the interviewers were looking for, would you have:

a) erased your entire correct solution to write a more efficient solution, not knowing the time constraints for this problem

b) created the most efficient and scalable fizzbuzz solution known to man at the beginning? in the 15 minutes provided

c) laughed in the interviewer's faces since it was obvious the question was irrelevant to how you would solve problems for the company on a day to day basis?

d) other

Apparently the numbers, while non-sequential, are not sufficiently large and random to be 'unguessable'. Take a known point and look around it, see if you get something good.
That does about sum it up. Just be glad we have the option to browse with ublock origin. Of course not browsing crappy sites is another option.
It is not at all like "wanting my Android and Mac applications to work without code."

The web browser is a hypertext reader. When you go to a text content site, there is nothing wrong with expecting it to work without JavaScript.
By implementing only that 1% of a real database's functionality that this task requires. Consider: you have only one table, no updates or deletes or transactions, fixed schema, and very, very simple queries.

So it's just a matter of parsing the CSV into some native data structure in your favorite language and then computing sort indices of the columns by which rows might be queried.
