I have no idea why you think I work in the ad or newspaper industry. (To be clear: I don't and never have.)

But anyway I look forward to reading your research here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11916756 - I'd just like you to collect some facts and conduct some interviews, it shouldn't take you more than half a week tops, and I'm sure you're more than happy to do it for free. I encourage you to also throw up a paypal link in case someone feels like paying (I mean, I personally won't, but still). I realize I might be proposing a bit of a broken business model for you, but I'd still like you to do it.

Please just take a few days and do this work - I'd like to read the results! Thanks.
I think one thing that bothers people is when they look up "Samsung Smartphone" or "children's stroller" on Amazon and are suddenly bombarded with advertisements about these things all over the web.

People are also paranoid about online shopping sites changing prices based on tracking information. Here are two articles related to this: http://lifehacker.com/5973689/how-web-sites-vary-prices-base... and http://www.wisebread.com/6-ways-to-avoid-sneaky-online-price...

There’s a lot of outdated information on the Web that leads new PHP users astray, propagating bad practices and insecure code. PHP: The Right Way is an easy-to-read, quick reference for PHP popular coding standards, links to authoritative tutorials around the Web and what the contributors consider to be best practices at the present time.

There is no canonical way to use PHP. This website aims to introduce new PHP developers to some topics which they may not discover until it is too late, and aims to give seasoned pros some fresh ideas on those topics they’ve been doing for years without ever reconsidering. This website will also not tell you which tools to use, but instead offer suggestions for multiple options, when possible explaining the differences in approach and use-case.

When I use a NAS software, that's meant to be a NAS, I expect it to do maintenance that's required. I don't expect to have to be an expert in ZFS. By the same note, I don't expect to have to know what the storage and growth configurations of AWS RDS instances either.

My Synology NAS device has been in service for around 6 years now... I upgraded the drives from 4x1tb to 4x4TB when the freenas server bit the dust... and it's still going strong... I don't have to think about it, it just sits there and runs.... A single-purpose software like this should do its' job. The end.

This sounds better than my current solution of multiple Chrome profiles, but how does this interact with extensions? So many extensions require broad permissions that give them nearly as much power as the browser vendor themselves. With separate Chrome profiles, I can keep sketchy extensions away from sensitive credentials. I hope these containers do something similar, because I think the UX of per-tab containers might be superior to per-window profiles.

There are already lots of specialty condoms on the market, the problem is their availability. Only a few brands and types are carried in stores, so you're left to order condoms in bulk on the internet and just hope that you have a lot of sex soon after. And that's if you just happen to be at home with your giant stash of custom condoms; if you're out and about somewhere, you have to run to whatever corner store is nearby.

I'm all for condom innovation, but until it's in all the stores, very few people will be using them.

Also - they said that the barrier to condoms was not access, but appeal. This isn't the case. Many (most?) teen pregnancies are the result of a lack of access to condoms. Condoms cost money, and a lot of people don't have the extra cash to spend just to keep some handy. You can get them for free from a clinic, but is there a clinic near you, and do you have the time or access to go there - as a teenager?

This is part of why the State of Maryland has recently passed a bill to cover 100% of the vasectomy, birth control, and the morning after pill for state residents. Hopefully more states will at least start dropping their draconian requirements for a doctor to prescribe you birth control as well.

Very good point. I'm born in the US from an immigrant family, grew up here and all, but have US and Italian citizenship. I go to Italy pretty regularly and it's debatable whether most there actually consider me Italian, because I grew up in a different culture. That view might not even change if I were to go live there indefinitely. And to some extent I agree, or at least can see where that comes from. And I look like anyone else over there, speak a couple of dialects in addition to standard italian, etc. Now it doesn't mean you're necessarily treated poorly, but your cultural identity will always be something else. It's not as though no one will talk to you or be your friend. but it's different than the US where you can show up, declare yourself American, and pretty much have it stick.

Keys. That are approximately equivalent to long passwords, but have a standard length, and do not need sending through the network. They are also something you have, that can be protected by a password for 2FA.

My uncle is a turf cutter, at some point during the year he will be trucking his cuttings about to people who want it.

It smells indescribably delicious, that's why. You'll feel like an authentic citizen of Westeros if you have a t!urf fire. Especially during the winter. Those little plastic brick things are for the elderly. If anybody wants a cargo of real turf in Cork county hit me up and I'll get my uncle to contact you. He should send bricks through the post to convert people.

You'll have to find wood or peat soon anyway because the government has decided to eliminate coal:

I've just noticed that this shoddy web design has fooled me into thinking this was a current article. Look at where they put the current date and 'published' date! I'll leave it up anyway, it's sort of informative.

They might ban open fires too at some point but never fear, your local country entrepreneurs will surely swing into action with peat-rustling activities. Getting rid of coal is a good idea though, it's not healthy for you.
There are pros and cons to that though. It can be useful to have extensions unique to each profile.

I used to read logwatch daily when I was at a small shop and only had two servers. It was really interesting to see the attack trends and IP blocks they came from.

It never gave me alarm fatigue because it's not an alarm. It's a log of something that has already passed. Most script kiddies are automatically banned by tools like fail2ban anyway. Seeing the data is pretty interesting.

Not the OP, but if it is big enough, common tasks such as 'git status' can take seconds to complete, which is annoying.

That said, I won't be using git submodules again on another project, it was a bit cumbersome for my taste.
I wouldn't dream of claiming that gentiles didn't like it that the Jews lived separately, or would have preferred integration. I phrase it as "due to Jewish demand, not gentile demand" because as I read things the gentiles weren't in a position to be making demands, but the Jews were. (Look at that comment from Rüdiger.) Had it been important to the Jews to live mixed in among the gentiles, they could have forced the issue.

In this view, legislation saying that the Jews must live in the Jewish quarter is basically analogous to legislation prohibiting incest -- it's not passed because people would be violating it otherwise, but because people feel that it reflects the proper order of the world, and it passes easily because there is no group that feels threatened by its passage.

Maybe they should have felt threatened, since the situation often persisted long after the point where it was a net benefit to the Jews, but it's hard to blame the communities of 1040 for not anticipating the problems of 1940.
Last time I looked at this it was Java/CORBA code, with a GUI front end.

I'd love to run 10k simulations headless to test for robustness, as I recollect they model small environments and have the human model agents go through a scripted day.
Upgrading this to actual agents accomplishing needed tasks in an AI fashion would be thrilling.

Also for modelling a space colony one would need to ramp up the modelled humans to 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, ... or so. I suppose the Central Limit Theorem comes in at a large enough population

I registered an EV certificate. Your organisation needs to be registered, for example at the Commercial Registry Office Zurich, and a lawyer registered at a bar (in our case at the Obergericht Zürich) who signs a legal opinion of your organisation's existence. You have to sign a declaration that you are a representative of the organisation and accept the terms of service of StartSSL.

The costs were, as far as I remember, $59 for the personal certification then $149 for EV.

But that was before StartEncrypt.
>Many great things suck.

PHP, Javascript, C, C++, Java. Arguably "great" languages given their success, and each attracts a mob with pitchforks and torches wanting to burn it down.

I would like to see Hack take off a bit more though. The XHP extension alone solves so many headaches with templating. Treating XML elements like first class citizens and having the language be able to reason about its current context, and not having to echo HTML strings everywhere and just hope you escaped everything properly, is something I wish PHP had picked up years ago.
Yeah, this has been driving me crazy lately. Reminds me of local news. "Important information for parents. Find out the dangerous thing that may be hurting your kids.". But we're not going to tell you. We'll keep teasing it over and over. It's really important, but we really don't care if you get the info.
I would much prefer it in Chrome if I had the option to also have them in tabs. I like using tabs rather than having multiple windows. It would be nice to have both.

> If there's a difference in how you "define" a sorted list via bubble-sort or mergesort in your lookup table image that difference is an abstract state machine.

Perhaps. But very often that's precisely the kind of difference I want to elide, since the two are equivalent for the purposes of verifying correctness of a wider program that uses one or the other.

I find it a lot more difficult to think about a state machine than about a function. What is it I'm supposed to be gaining (in terms of verifying correctness) by doing so? (I might accept that certain aspects of program behaviour can only be modeled that way - but certainly it's usually possible to model a large proportion of a given program's behaviour as pure functions, and I find pure functions easier to think about by enough that I would prefer to divide my program into those pieces so that I can think mostly about functions and only a little about states).
There are always two responses after an article like this:

> PHP is great at gettings things done, pedantic points about design don't matter.

> PHP is a huge mess of a language - that people have overcome that to create things doesn't change that.

Both of these responses can be (and are, imo) true.
They're not gloves ;)
I hope somebody kills off Lastpass. Worst customer support I have ever received. I've submitted 2 bug reports and 1 feature request since signing up for their paid plan all to have them thrown in their "won't fix" pile.

Unfortunately, these kinds of issues are normal for patch Tuesday since Nadella took over. His re-doing of QA at MS hasn't helped matters and perhaps is the cause of all these issues. I'm hoping they can get back to their old QA levels soon.

Lots of admins I've spoken to have added longer delays for more testing nowadays. That means a critical Windows update may take 4-8 weeks to get to desktops and servers now. I think MS is playing with fire here with its terrible QA and also making updates mandatory in Win10.

MS has effectively passed the testing it should be doing to its customers. If it wasn't for its monopolistic position, none of this would be remotely tolerable.
What's beautiful and what pays our bills are unrelated.

If I have to do a beauty contest of the programming languages I used a lot, from uglier to most beautiful, I'd sort them like this: PHP, Perl and C (no ++), Java, JavaScript, Ruby.

I didn't use Python a lot and I'm undecided if it should be placed before or after JS. That silly method(self) looks as useless as PHP's silly $this->attribyte. They're just bad designs and other languages knew better. I'm starting to use Elixir and it goes between JS and Ruby so far.
Java has its own way to make me feel like wanting to wash my hands at the end of the day (the language and the tooling) but not as much as PHP, even if I agree that PHP7 is somewhat more sane than it used to be. Why didn't they do it at version 2?

And if I have to sort them about what pays more... We could sort them by looking at the salary stats but eventually it's a matter of where we live and which opportunities we have. Any language will earn us money. No hard feelings.

The true programmer doesn't get attached to one language or another. If you get 'fed up' with a language and switch, then you are taking the language way too seriously. Use languages for what their particular strengths are, and that's it.

Step 3 is not possible without one of the following;

GitHub keeps a copy of the SHA1 hash of the password
GitHub cracks the SHA1 hash and checks against their hash
GitHub calculates the SHA1 hash of the password after a valid login

The 4th option is the only sane approach, but it means you can't 'Check if passwords are the same' in bulk, only as users login.

> In my experience, the users find the admin confusing.

My 'entry' into the enterprise world was web CMSs; my previous company used to make/sell a respected web CMS. If you talk about 'confusing admins' then the web CMS world is where you should look. Boot up a Liferay (oh and check out that code by the way) or Alfresco or Sitecore or Oracle CMS and stare in disbelief.

This is what these users are used to and compared with those, WP is really very simple. That's why no (?) enterprise will replace an international corporate roll-out with WP, but regional, if allowed (and it usually is as marketing simply doesn't work the same way worldwide), they will. Because of the ease and less friction; create a new content writer? Fill in paper work and ask the main IT dep vs do it yourself in 5 seconds and that kind of thing.
Now if we can just get rid of different search entries appearing in task switcher. I want to switch apps not see the complete nonsense of my search history. I get it, you want me to use search more, but get it out of my way.

While we're at it, stop shoehorning Chrome views into the Search app and everything else, too. The only reason for it to be there is to make it harder for folks that use a different default browser to be able to launch it. And to ensure that ads are shown since Chrome and Chrome views don't support ad blocking.
