Hi, nice to meet you Johan! Can I get you a drink? Oh, you're an electrician? That's nice, I sell light fixtures.

...

Good to see you again Johan! You'll never believe, I was down at XYZ Clinic yesterday, and they'd left your file out!! Careless right? How did you break it to your wife you had herpes? Oh, she didn't know?! Man, sorry I mentioned it, I'll keep that quiet for sure.

...

Man, it's been a hard month Johan. Sales are down! Hey, you told me you worked at the DaneSecure building right? Oh you didn't? Someone else must have told me that. But look, don't worry. I can keep secrets!! Look could you do me a favour? I need to know what kind of light fixtures they use at DaneSecure so I can pitch to them. Could you take a look and let me know? I'd like to know what kind they are, and specifically, how many are installed on Level 7. You know we're friends, because you know I can keep my mouth shut.

...

Johan, we have a problem!!! My boss said that because we're Chinese-owned, you telling me about the light-fittings in a classified area is technically passing on state secrets!!! You have a lawyer right? No?! OK, here's the plan, don't tell anybody, and we'll figure a way to keep us both out of jail!

...

Are you OK Johan? You look kind of pale. You haven't been worrying about this all week have you? Oh you have? OK well don't worry, I've got a solution. My boss has said he thinks he can stop our corporate lawyers reporting it, and we'll both be fine. There's a small catch favour he wants from us though. He needs to know the power consumption of the floor to help us tailor our pitch. Do you think you could plug this thing in to a light fixture for me? I think we're both going to be fine...

...

Johan, I have some bad news for you? Remember I said I sold light fixtures? Well that wasn't the whole truth...
Hard fork and Soft fork were always part of the process. In fact, you can democratically vote through whatever you want in the ETH/DAO system, either through the established code for voting or by developing protocol extensions. People can freely choose what code they want to run, or not.

The bailout of USD can also be described as an authoritative one disguised as a democratic vote. Congresspeople were told the world would end if they did not vote for the legislation they were handed.

Sure that's the cash flow statement. When looking at free cash flows one would take into account changes in net working capital and adjust accordingly.
I didn't say it wasn't. I was proposing that we devise another solution whereby people can opt out of tracking/ads by paying to read.
You don't even have to support an Islamist Turkey to have problems with military coups. I think Erdogan is highly problematic and that the direction Turkey is taking will materially harm a generation of its people. But even that is a better outcome than a military coup!

I don't like Islamist governments (any more than I'd like a Christian Fundamentalist government here --- "Christian", by the way, being a word that could fairly be applied to me), but I too get the strong sense that the only factor being weighed by supporters of the coup on this thread, whether they're well-informed enough to invoke Ataturk or not, is "Islamism bad, anything else good". No.

Just discovered this project.

Since I recently wanted to build a new static site, I tried to hack an existing SSG into generating JSON files to support something like React. Wasn't exactly painless.

So I'm happy about Gatsby.
how can you apply flags to the command?

For example, I use `ps -ef` a lot, how would I do that with this system?

So Ive actually been looking through the source for awkward, and it led me down the rabbit hole to shelljs, and cash.

shelljs actually reimpliments alot of shell commands in javascript, eventually mutating the output of the functions into flat strings here: https://github.com/shelljs/shelljs/blob/master/src/common.js...

The point being that the outputs of each of these functions is available (technically, it may require refactoring to get at the output pre-stringified) without having to parse formatted text.

Alot of work has been done here.

I am by no means an expert, but after living here for a while I have had to adjust my conception of what sacrelegious means. I think my understanding of it (after growing up in the US and primarily being exposed to christian and jewish customs) was 'pious sincerity' or 'seriousness'. In Japan, religious practice is not as serious as I was used to, even if many people are very serious about observing.

There's not as much value placed in physical artifacts. Historic buildings get razed (pour one out for the Hotel Okura), earthquakes destroy cities… people move on. The culture needs to be respected and honored but new artifacts will always arise which honor that line of culture. You respect your ancestors by however you show respect.. bowing, keeeling, building a shrine out of discarded PS2's or whatever. If it is heartfelt, then how you do it mostly reflects on you.

So associating a mascot (which is a totally accepted cultural tool) with a religious artifact isn't considered bad because there is no negative association with it. People love kumamon! Anyway, that's my view on it. I am sure I have a lot to learn still.

As an aside: Even the police like to get in on the cute. Note the mascot at the bottom of the tokyo police website. Pepo-kun is all over Tokyo to make the police more approachable. He's named after the sound that police cars make: "peee-poh-peee-poh"

> Value Destruction

These words, they are not what is happening.

Value is the thing the shaver gets from having a razor. P&G doesn't get any value from giving you a razor, that's why you have to pay money to get them to do it. You have to transfer some of the value you get back to them in cash form.

If razors now cost 25% of what they used to, there is still exactly the same amount of value in existence. There are the same number of razors and the same number of dollars, only now more of the dollars stay with the customer. Probably there is more total value because at a lower price people will buy more of the thing.

This may be more easily confusing because we have become used to measuring the economy by stock prices. But stock prices are a measure of the inefficiency in the economy. They're a measure of the return on capital. The amount more that companies skim off the top between what the customer pays and what was necessary to produce it.

A company that makes products for $5 and sells them for $5 may have a negligible stock price while creating an enormous amount of value. A company that buys products for $1 and sells them unchanged for $10 may have a high stock price while creating no value at all.

> What are the practical applications of knowing AWK over knowing JS?

That it is present on pretty much every Unix-like system, and most other platforms with a "real" OS, including platforms where finding a modern Javascript implementation is impossible.

It's also a very small language, and the default of parsing records from standard in and splitting them by a field separator and pattern matching on them makes it very well suited for compact filters without extra seremony (some other interpreters have flags to give an awk-like exerience - e.g. Ruby (MRI) - but none are remotely as likely to be installed everywhere unless you go for more cryptic tools like sed).
It doesn't seem like a "tremendously empowering force for its followers prosperity" today.
Living in England, you really need a downtime strategy for your internet connection. While it's seldom a complete country-wide thing like this one, you can still expect your broadband to drop out for up to an hour at a time at least once every day.

BT is just that incapable of providing DSL to residences.

I live in a tiny village in rural France half the time, and never really think about the internet connection. Just like you never worry that water won't come out of the kitchen sink when you turn it on.

But then I come back to England for the summer and there at the front of my mind several times a day is the Internet connection. Why is it super slow all of a sudden? Hey, it dropped again. I hope it comes back soon because I need to check stuff in. I have a personal hotspot set up on my phone that gets used within my house on a weekly basis. There's an OpenReach van parked out back a couple times a year fixing yet another fault on our line.

Nowhere else I've lived has it been anywhere near this bad. I look forward to the day where BT has some actual competition.
I am very much against the thing you describe, whether they call themselves supreme courts or guardian councils or defenders of the constitution. Yes, I am a radical democrat. I think the safeguards supposedly provided by such institutions are largely illusionary.

All sorts of minorities, for instance, may be protected in flowery words, but it isn't worth the paper it's written on unless the majority (of power, sadly, not of individuals) actually care about it. A constitutional safeguard that doesn't have the support of actual power is worked around, it's just a question of lawyer rhetoric. In the end, the only check that can exist on us is ourselves.

That said, at least supreme court judges in the US (and other countries) don't have the power to topple the government, execute ministers, outlaw political parties etc. That's one way the military providing "a check on democracy" is even worse.
Yes it is true that Islam ties politics to religion, and that is a weakness not a strength.

I struggle to listen with open ears to someone who defends the Muslim Brotherhood. I know some kind, good Arab Americans who support them, and I also know a refugee who was forced to flee Sudan after the MB publicly executed her local cleric for advocating equal rights for women.

That's fascism at work. The Muslim Brotherhood encourages the view that some sects of Islam are superior to other creeds, and it is not OK.
Like in PowerShell?
All of these settings existed in previous versions of windows, all this does is gather them in one place.

The OS didn't need to gather mass amounts of data and ship them off to be stored and analyzed to figure out, 'hey, maybe we could gather them all in one place.' They probably just needed to listen to their own developers.

Given that all this data held by US companies on US soil is accessible to the US Government with no real hurdles and there is no real understanding of what they're collecting, ALL OS data collection should be fought all the time.
Oh you are insulting peoples intelligence here. Playing with words like that does not make it less stupid.
Too bad they're using python instead of a competent language
Never revealing personal information is harder than it seems though, as we often give away deanonymizing information unconsciously e.g. in the quirks of our writing style. The study of deanonymizing an author based on these tendencies is called stylometry, and was used for instance in another case about a child abuse ring that was posted to HN last week. One of the group's members consistently used the atypical greeting "hiyas", which was sufficient to give investigators a lead on his IRL identity. Stylometric tendencies can be much more subtle though, like putting two spaces or one after a period, capitalizing proper nouns, using an oxford comma, persistent misspellings, idiosyncratic phrases revealed by n-gram analysis, etc.

The author's point about AWS was not really well articulated, but the above is his main point. All that's "changed" is the distribution model for retail - also known as E-Commerce.
I recommend a Summary of Qualifications that talks about what you are able to do. It's the "executive summary" that makes the HR screener want to read more. I can tailor this to the job if I need to do so.

Then I recommend listing work experience focused on acheivements. Recruiters want to see how your past experience will translate to future success so don't list job duties. List accomplishments at the job. How much revenue did the apps you wrote bring in? How many active users did the app you built support? Did you mentor other people and were they successful? Did you contribute to an open-source initiative?

"Built and maintained web applications using Ruby on Rails and React with over 200,000 active users per month."

I do list skills both in context and in a skills section.

My résumé has gotten me an interview every place I've sent it for the last 15 years. These things will never hurt you to do on yours. They will only help you.

I've heard that objectives hurt, and I know that work experience that reads like a job description hurts too. My wife is in HR and I've asked these questions of her network of people and that's the general consensus. So I hope that helps.

Scott seems to be very excited about this and very happy that he can formally declare himself to be a developer and have it done with, but I can't disagree more. You shouldn't have to formally declare yourself as a developer, because there are a lot of developers and programmers and power users who are not formally developers. If I click "developer mode" and I formally declare myself as a developer, that's a lie because I am not.

I've won awards at work before for creating scripts to automate a certain part of our team's workflow, saving hours each time we have to perform a certain action. But if I was a formal developer, that would just be my job. I'd get no special recognition for it. But I did get special recognition, because I am not a developer by trade.

I don't want to make a formal declaration that I am a developer because formally, I am not. But I'd like to side load apps, see the full path, use Remote Desktop (is that a developer thing? Always seemed like more of a sysadmin thing, I use it every day) and keep my PC awake all the time.

None of those things are developer-specific features. None of them include "install gcc++" or "download Visual Studio" or "change Notepad to vim". What I'd rather make is a formal declaration that I own this computer, not that I am a software developer.

- edit - apparently everyone replying to me failed to read the article. My response is not to Microsoft's decision to call it "developer mode" but Scott's decision to call it a "formal declaration that I'm a developer".
The coup has been orchestrated by the gulenist,a religous sect infiltrated inside the army. No one in Turkey need to hear Erdogan say it to believe it. For 12 years the secular/kemalists warn the government to stop supporting them.

If western powers were so concerned about democracy in Turkey, they should've talked much sooner, when Ergodan and gulen were throwing thousands of kemalist from all of Turkey's instituations since 2007 with ridiculous accusations.

They started to raise concerns only when Erdogan turned his attention from the kemalist to his former allied gulen.

The sentiment that America and gulen are behind the coup didn't happen in 1 day, its started WAY BEFORE(for 12 years). And the first to believe it are the kemalists themselves because they were the first victims of Gulen and his followers.

And please stop with this Islamic propaganda, there is no way that Sharia is coming in Turkey. This is just wishful thinking. Yes Erdogan is a authocratic fuck, and he will do anything in his power to muster more, but everyone in Turkey right know is focused on the gulenist right now.

Anti-American sentiment is at an all time high and it is this time from every factions of the population.
I didn't take a screenshot yesterday when I posted this, but when I've looked in the past most of the memory seems to have piled into "js-non-window".

Actually, checking now -- having left one tab, with only this HN thread left open overnight (and computer closed) FF's memory usage has crawled back up to 2.88GB.

In "Explicit Allocations", 488MB of that are "heap-overhead". 455MB go to js-non-window" , of which 254MB are "zones" and 183MB "runtime". "window-objects" take 279MB, (the js-compartment for about:blank takes 151MB). Another 259MB for "heap-unclassified", and 155MB for "gfx".

In "Other measurements", there are 745MB of "decommitted", of which almost all is "js-non-window". "js-main-runtime" is 666MB, split evenly between "compartemnts" and "runtime" or "zones".

Nothing else is of much significance.

No extensions or plugins seems are explicitly noted in the memory breakdown. In my experience GC, CC, and Minimize Memory Usage make no difference. I do make use of Noscript and Privacy Badger, and I suppose I should try disabling them -- but my gut says disabling plugins that block scripts won't reduce JS memory usage.

Pretty much every time I've checked it really looks like oodles of JS-related memory leakage.

Anyway, not expecting a diagnosis here -- this isn't the appropriate forum for that. Just venting a bit. Thank you for your suggestions!
No, not really, and I said as much.
>> The flooring industry is another place that might be ripe for "disruption", the software often sucks.

Actually anything in the building industry is ripe for disruption. I've worked with architects and every single firm has a different way of handling documents and change order requests.

There's actually a TON of companies that still use paper trails for change order requests. Some use dropbox, some use SFDC (salesforce.com), some use some archaic cloud storage solutions. It's literally all over the map. And every time one of my firms works with a new sub-contractor then they have to try and sync up how they all handle their project documents - its insane.

If someone developed a decent documents management company, based in the cloud, and integrated it with some nice mobile solutions, they would take a HUGE chunk of the market. I mean, think of how many companies are involved designing and building a house.

Errr... The US was fighting China in the Korean War. And the US military was not yet the undisputed global military superpower it is today.

A land invasion of North Korea would almost certainly be successful, the casualties and cost is the unacceptable part.
Been thinking alot about taking the plunge some have absentee type setups with a manager. Wondering if I could really net the kind of cash flow listed on some of those businesses.
I work for a SaaS vendor of health care record software. From what I have seen care institutions (as opposed to hospitals) do not have the experience or staff in-house to facilitate proper security procedures. The problem as I see it lies not in the routine operations that have a high degree of visibility in the organisation and tend to have strict policies surrounding them because they are anticipated, but in the exceptions, such as key users or the IT support responsible for the service they use reporting issues to the vendor.
Android Developers Summer Reading List
Yeah, and I'm typing this comment on my netbook...NOT!
Me too. It really gets straight to the point.
That's incredibly dismissive.

AWK isn't perfect (nothing is). So that means that there are still improvements that can be made to it. One of the improvements to AWK (or something awk-like) would be to make it have a more familiar syntax to those who don't already know awk.

I'll admit, the only thing I use awk for currently is to pull out columns of the output to pass on to the next tool. I know it can do more, but I don't have time to really learn and understand the langauge.

While I don't like many things about this project, I really like some of the ideas that it's suggesting. I'd love a "awk but with javascript" where you can use a subset of javascript to work like awk where you can pipe in data and have it output "regular" lines that can be passed to the next tool on the command line.

letting me use familiar javascript functions and syntax to map/reduce/filter over lines of input and output plaintext would be amazing. This doesn't quite do that in the way I want, but it's a cool thing nonetheless.
Ah, ok, so that is the only part of all I said that you can pinpoint it's not accurate.

Very well, I agree that Erdogan being half mad (so mentally ill from your interpretation) is not easily proved.

His speeches and the construction of the new palace (and the reasons given for it: https://www.yahoo.com/news/cockroaches-made-want-palace-says...) indicate that he shouldn't be totally sane. But I agree it's something difficult to prove.

I'm glad you agree with the rest then. That was the important part.
Having used both Amazon's Web Services and Azure I am not surprised by this one bit. Once you get past basic hosting and storage Microsoft's offerings are deeper and better integrated.

Also they are bringing out Azure Stack which will let you run Azure on prem. I don't believe this will be ready until 2017 and yes they have specific hardware requirements so you can't just plop it down in an existing data center but I do like the concept and direction.
While this is true, I aggressively block scripts using Noscript & Privacy Badger. I also block plugins by default and have an etc.hosts file that blocks many standard advertising domains.

I suppose this could lead to more leaks, but it definitely reduces the page load time.

That being said, your point about web standards being a mess to support without tons of memory usage (and inevitably leaks) is on point.
Hey this is pretty cool. Would be even cooler if it held off on the SSL handshake with the initial client until after the certificate was issued by LetsEncrypt. If it's only a couple of seconds it might be possible.
> half the class would fade away.

They didn't care, but every one understands it. Then there is also the basic belief that everything to do with a computer is hard, so they've already decided they can't understand it.

Anyways, if i am to speculate then GUI took over because of discoverability and ease of translation. A CLI is damn hard to translate. With a GUI you change the labels, and thats it. And finding something in a menu or similar was, before programs grew into massive behemoths, simpler than trying to guess what command, for most outside the english speaking world, named in a foreign language, to give to get something done.
