Many years ago, our family home in London was burgled. The burglar(s) left being a pocket knife. Perhaps it had helped them get in.

As in your case, the police did not bag it or take it away. I was surprised as, even if there were no fingerprints, the engraved inscription on the knife would make it unique and would surely provide some clue. They told us to bin it, which we did.

They did not hold out much hope that they would find the perpetrators or our belongings. They suggested we go around to local pawn shops to see if any of our stuff showed up.
Almost all of the non eU countries that are part of the EFTA are part of Schengen area and they have agree with a lot of EU treaties.

In fact, being part of the EFTA will make UK more abide to the EU duties that it was until now
I can highly recommend these books. They're one of the only books that do a real deep-dive into the language. I often have to interview people for javascript jobs. It's astonishing how few of them actually get how the `this` keyword, closures, prototypes etc work. So the title of the series may be arrogant, but not wrong.
I had assumed it was a play on the slightly ruder version "You don't know jack-shit" as JS works as an abbreviation for both.
As you say yourself, the banks are regulated so they cannot do anything they want with you. So they do not quite own you. Anyway, you are going to be dependent on some structures of society unless you want to live on your own in the woods.
Off topic, but you can side load ad blockers on iPhone 5 if you can find open source ones. So, it's an artificial restriction.
An entire book is dedicated to "this", when it's only "the stuff on the left side of the dot" (it changed my life when i understood that)
So 'unaccountable' does not equate to the European Parliament having no power to forward a bill while a group of twenty eight unelected Commissioners have the power under the treaty to meet behind closed doors and override in secret any decision of parliament at will and even bypass it altogether by issuing Commission Regulations?
"We're going to give YOU the choice between staying and leaving, so go ahead, choose whatever you like - leave, remain. Either one is good."

"Wait, people actually voted to leave? Oh, no no no, that's not good. We need a re-vote so people can vote the right way."

So let's assume the government (still run by the Tories) allows this to happen. Why the farce of a referendum in the first place, if they're going to re-do the vote a week later because they don't like what the people chose? Why start this discussion in the first place, or why not say that "we'd never allow this referendum to happen" if Remain is what they wanted all along?
Sorry, but you cannot change the rules after the fact. Even if this did succeed, it would apply only to future referendums (referenda?). It won't change what happened on Thursday.

[Update:] Aside from the fact that it's incredibly arrogant and disrespectful to have people vote until you like the result. I suspect this line of thinking is partly why people wanted to leave.
How did you do that? You have to pay customs if you order from germany at amazon.com and shipping is not free to germany, not even with Prime, it's rather expensive.
AFAIK the law shouldn't work backwards, so even if they implement it, this should not apply to the recent referendum...
Agreed.

After reading these books I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner. All the JS mysteries just fade away as you go through it.
"You will have to vote until outcome will be pro-EU."

Just like the Ireland few years ago.
It certainly doesn't help that the Brahmin class (Moldbug's term for the folks who say 'Little Englanders') is also actively denying and suppressing information. In the UK, think of Rotherham, where hundreds of girls being raped by Mulsims was suppressed.

Or in the US, think of the redacted transcripts of Omar Mateen's 911 call:

OM: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of [omitted]...God Akbhar

(The omitted bits are Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State, and "God" got in there via s/Allah/God/g.)

Then Obama got on TV and talked about guns.

The Brahmin class has no solution to the problem that radical Islam poses. Because of this they need to suppress discussion of it and demonize as a racist anyone who dares bring up the issue. I wonder if Brexit will cause them to rethink this.

Yeah. And at very least budget some API dev time to respond as the client design unfolds. A static API, with an frontend app in discovery phase is a sad state of affairs.
It's just one chapter and the rest of the book is about prototypes and inheritance.

It's also not just 'the stuff on the left side of the dot'.
using strict mode, call/apply, the new keyword and arrow functions have influence on what `this` is. And they are applied in a certain order of precedence you need to know.

7 Awesome Bridal Wear Colors Other Than Red or Pink
I have had a similar experience. There is a weird notion in our culture that introversion vs extroversion is a choice between "creative vs outgoing", with the unstated implication being it's really "creative vs not creative". I spent way too long not taking care of myself because I thought I was an introvert. No, I was depressed and I needed help. But some people seem to wear their introversion like some kind of badge of honor. And then, under some perverse guise of being supportive, we don't call people out on it and tell them they are wrong.

It never occurred to me my feelings were depression until my sister revealed her struggle with it as an attempt to get me to go to therapy. Could have saved many years if someone had just told me, "no, this is not a healthy lifestyle, staying in and reading books and playing games, to the exclusion of making any new relationships".

As MD of a medium-sized UK-based cloud server company (Bytemark, cough), I'm so glad to hear someone else saying this. We made the decision in 2010 to design and build our own cloud services stack - from scratch, ultimately including a low-level storage layer. This was just after Openstack was announced, so it felt like a risk not to get on this particular wagon.

We opened our service to customers within a year, and fixed what felt like small silly bugs while constantly racing to keep the platform up. Openstack kept getting richer and puffier and more important-sounding. Even though we thought we would eventually "make the switch" I couldn't for the life of me find any success stories, and looking at the software it seemed to have some crucial gaps that we'd need to fill, and a bunch of layers that we didn't need or care about for our simple "cloud servers" offering.

We're at the point where mayyyyybe we could think about switching out one or two components, but my gut feeling is that 1) these are quite simple components for us where our maintenance burden is manageable, 2) our model of VMs is slightly different (more permanent) than Openstack's and, of course 3) the integration effort doesn't seem worth it, and the loss of experience compared to our own software seems a huge risk if it puts the stability of our platform at risk. So it still feels like picking a fight with our own stable software for benefit that was way down the line.

We're in exactly the same spot at Boris - our customers care about the service, not the software. There is just so much integration with our own hardware, network, data centre & customer services operation that's outside the scope of Openstack that it never quite seemed relevant.
Most of the comments I've read here assumes these two things are equal:

1. A good programmer
2. A good team member

They are not.

How to spot someone that fits in your team is much harder than to spot someone with talent.

Also, as someone pointed out you need to keep track of both hits and misses to assess your skill. I would guess it's easier to track someone if they're successful as opposed to someone who either is not successful or not successful publicly.

But.. 62.5% of British voters did not vote for leaving the EU.

When it is such a massive thing and the vote is 52% vs 48% with a 71% turnout.. it is too close to be definitive as it stands...

Also, this petition was created back in May.. So it isn't as if this was created as a response to the result.
I interviewed with Trello and one part of my interview was building a super simple app in an hour using their API. As far as APIs go, and never having used Trello's API before, I found it to be fairly intuitive and documented well enough for me to skim quickly to needed information. I completed the task with time to spare, and only choked a bit on the authentication. If you don't like Trello's API, give the AWS API a shot!

Some sort of super private browsing mode would be nice. I'm not sure I trust Mozilla to get that right though. Their main priority is pushing the Web forward (and keeping up with chrome). Privacy is difficult and conflicts with functionality in some cases e.g. webrtc, javascript, window size etc. The current solution where Mozilla have an lts release that the tor project can use as a base seems quite a good compromise.

Most countries do not allow on-demand abortion with no gestational limit

Well, the US doesn't allow that either, so I'm not sure what exactly you think your argument is.

Though to be perfectly honest I think historically-Catholic countries (y'know, like the ones you mentioned, and while we're at it let's add Ireland) could do with a bit of being dragged kicking and screaming in the direction of the 21st, or at least late 20th, century on this and other sex-related issues.

The trick is, and what I learned over time - labour comes first, then comes the passion. Rarely it is the other way around. Waiting for passion to strike is why a lot of people (recent version of myself included!) are stuck.
There's forgiveness and then there's stupid ignorance. Germans apologized and changed their ways. Russia did not.
I have always liked this quote:

“Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity and movement and changes in the world about him; then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say this I am today, that I shall be tomorrow. The wish, however, must be implemented by deeds.” - Louis L'Amour

I suppose it's trainable as well. But your past is always a part of you; an extrovert who trained themselves to be comfortable alone may still think of themselves as "more innately an extrovert".
Embedded systems seem to have all the same problem but worse - the difficulties to get an obsolete software environment working (possibly in a VM) to maintain a legacy program are insignificant compared to getting replacement hardware to keep a legacy embedded system working if some of these particular components haven't been manufactured for a decade, and you either have to port the system, throw it out and replace it, or enter the wonderful and pricey world of custom hardware manufacturing.

> there's very little London can do for Europe that can't be done just as easily in Frankfurt

The real winners here are probably going to be Hong Kong and Singapore. Those are top of mind alternatives when finance strategically places organizations in London, and with low tax and compatible legal systems (from what I understand Hong Kong's is pretty much a carbon copy of the UK) they basically got one competing city of the game.

> the blatant lies about immigration and sovereignty

The immigration nonsense disturbs me. Even if the UK leaves the EU, surely the freedom of movement will remain just as with the other non-EU European countries. Leaving won't make a difference. Plus with the commonwealth and all, the country is basically built on migrants. I hope that it influenced the vote only for a minority of people, and that the outside media image that this was important is just that, a stupid media image.
The referendum is advisory, so they can do whatever they think they'll get away with.
Personally it's because I don't feel English. I don't want to be isolated on this little island, I don't feel a connection to the public anymore, it doesn't feel like the place I want to call home. Over the next few months I'll find a new home if I can.

I appreciate it's an emotional feeling but it's how I, and others I've spoken to, feel.

So screw that concept and talk about ones that are useful - ones that can allow us to make predictions. Can a person who is now bigoted and prone to violence become a Gandhi? I'd say yes, I've seen similar thing happen. Call it "personality change" or call it something else, but the phenomenon seems to be real.
This is too true. I've had a software engineer complain to me at how unfair his last interview was because they asked "esoteric javascript" questions in a front-end javascript development position.

No the uk has no direct democracy. Parliament is sovereign not the electorate. Indeed before any referendum the uk parliament has to pass specific legislation binding itself to the result+. These petitions are a relatively new thing and have never (please someone jump in and correct me if I'm wrong) lead to anything meaningful. 100,000 signatures mean that it has to be considered for a discussion in parliament - it doesn't even mean the discussion has to go ahead and if it does a vote in parliament may not happen (filibustering happens on non-goverment initiated debates in parliament) and would not be binding anyway.

+ interestingly the EU referendum was technically only advisory - but parliament would be mad to ignore it.
Your documentation is great! You've got straightforward authentication, prominent curl examples, expected responses, clear-cut explanations of expected inputs... I think your API looks fun and easy to use! I don't send physical mail, but if I did and tried your API, I would probably get in trouble for mail-bombing hate mail to my elected officials.

Hey, wait a minute! Those examples are using test credentials... Your API responds to those curl calls with real output, and the output matches what your documentation says it should be. Okay, that is awesome! Also when I force myself to get rate-limited, my requests fail gracefully with a "429 Too Many Requests" and a descriptive error, which is refreshing. Nice API!
Some people are always trying to subvert democracy. I guess it is only democracy if they win.
Ask HN: Side project with spouse
Have you any side project with your spouse? For example:

Few examples around me:

> She has "how-to" podcasts about beauty (hairs, makeup), he handle technical part of recording, pre/post-processing, publishing platform.

I am wondering if your spouse is taking advantage of your dev skills (besides of main household income).
> As a brit...

One joke from my Scottish friend. If somebody says "I'm Brit", they will ask "What is that? So you are English? I'm Scottish.". Just a joke - I do not want to be disrespectful here.

This will be like Grexit... Money will start talking. Politicians will drag implementing Brexit. Then they slowly forgot about it the UK will be even more dependent on EU.

That's quite a misleading argument.

A trade agreement, where it's "stay, or you'll lose access to everything", and which can't be renegotiated, is horrible for the young people.

What if I want to vote to change it, even just slightly? No chance.

With the EU, I can vote for a different party in the EU Parliamentary elections, and they can easily change it to the better.

Trade agreements are less democracy than even the EU.

You are aware that these petitions are just that - petitions. Anyone can start one about anything. They have no constitutional meaning and can be totally ignored (and usually are).

I can't find those numbers, in fact the numbers that I did find are literally all over the place (for both Leave/Remain).
Generally speaking, most of such platforms allow either fixed-price or hourly jobs to be posted and carried out. In case of hourly jobs, some sort of time-tracking mechanism would obviously have to be in place. Not sure about Upwork (haven't landed any job there) but Freelancer does have an app. (Haven't used it because my workstation is CentOS and the linux version of their app is broken.)

In my experience, Freelancer.com and PeoplePerHour.com are the top runners. While the quality of buyers on PPH is noticeably better (mostly from UK/Western Europe/North America/Australia), the deal-flow volume at Freelancer is much higher. HTH and all the best.
This can help raise awareness. No doubt this sort of thing exists outside of Vienna, Austria.

Decompiling Traits with Scala 2.11 and 2.12
Apparently the Leave supporters were so distrustful of authority that they were taking pens to mark the ballot papers[0], so retrospectively changing the rules would be like trying to put out a fire by throwing on petrol.

Unfortunately the former United Kingdom has shown it is irrevocably divided, so should get on with trying to make the best of a bad situation, e.g. (in my view) by setting up an independent Scotland and independent London[1].
