Hey,

This is very cool. It does remind me of powershell in it's aims & inspiration. But agree with nailer that using json (or javascript data structures) would hopefully end up with a better, more cohesive shell in awkward. I no longer use Powershell (I got sick of the microsoft ecosystem)

I'm not sure what format Powershell uses to pipe structured data around, but it seemed to be some kind of ad-hoc 'whatever-they-came-up-with-at-the-time' mish mash, instead of using say, JSON, and leveraging the power of arrays, dictionaries et al. In fairness json was just starting when I was using Powershell, so it wouldnt have been on their radar.

One question, How are you turning output from ls into arrays? Or is ls just a javascript function that behaves like ls?

Oh, also, what strategies do you envision for wrapping arbitrary commands, or creating an ecosystem of wrappers? Perhaps some kind of plugin system?

I am currently also getting excited by hyperterm, and wonder if there is some kind of fusion there with your project (that is getting _alot_ of traction).

Cheers for the cool software!
Cryptocurrency does not mean it has perfect dicentralised distribution. It only means that its (much) better than fiat currency's.
As a specific example, Graal is built on the JVM. I'd be interested to see if they have support for languages that require tail call optimization (haskell, scheme) as the JVM cannot work with TCO languages.
China would blow your mind, then. The concept of pedestrian right of way doesn't exist, not even when you have a clear walk signal. Cars will approach from left, right, front, and back, with no care in the world. You had to stop twice in your tracks to avoid a car turning in front of you? Try doing that multiple times every time you cross the street, all while checking both sides to make sure nobody flat-out runs you over.

I think a lot of it is due to Windows 10. If you get upgraded from Windows 7/8, you always start with Edge as your new default browser and Bing as search engine for both browser and Cortana. Most people probably haven't switched back.
I like to chime in here with my own observations since I run/own a recruiting software company (SnapHop). We make career portals that sit on top of legacy or existing candidate tracking software (aka ATS: applicant tracking software).

From an apply process a resume should contain keywords and should be easy to parse.

What I mean by parse is that we automatically extract details from the resume and if the resume is too hard to parse this may minimize your chance to be noticed (the ATS does this as well downstream).

So ideally you want your resume to be a small plain document. That is either MS Word, or plain text. You do need the keywords because there are some ranking algorithms that some ATS use and sadly it is based on simple keyword matching. I recommend putting this at the bottom of the resume to keep the parsing happy (ie list of technologies used). Or if your resume you think is large perhaps at the top but a short list in case it is is truncated.

I stress small because the bigger the document the more likely systems downstream can fail (our system can handle 100MB resumes no problem... and yes people will upload resumes that large but downstream systems cannot).

Finally I think including links in your resume of work you have done is also beneficial. I believe it is the future of resumes. We are seeing more folks doing this and we already to some extraction based on this (ie github profile, github projects, blogs, linkedin profiles, etc).

In large part the resume doesn't matter once you have made the initial HR/Recruiter pass. So make sure you get past that.
No, people has families and children and for a million other reason they may choose not to go to streets. It is idiotic to think that they are supporting the coup.

Nice too..

Let's go into each of the past instances of history and make it excuse to blame TURKEY today

Lets forget how many turkish lives did kurdish terrorist attacks claimed before we claim "ethnic cleansing" for fighting men in uniform

Lets forget Erdogan returned US citizens trying to cross to syria and the airbase from where 95% airstrikes happen

Lets rant on capital punishment for treason-ers but claim to the torch of democracy and support dictators (sisi) giving dealth penalty to protectors

Lets try to say.. I am the different one. Because I have a better conspiracy theory than you
This isn't entirely wrong. Turkey started out as the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, an Islamic caliphate. Atatürk created a secular republic inspired by modern Western nations and culture. He even went so far as to change the writing system.

It's fairly safe to say that Atatürk's ideals have always been in strong conflict with the will of a certain part of the demographic (e.g. fundamentalists) as well as people from many of the neighboring countries.

Consider the controversies in France and other European countries surrounding (proposed) bans on headscarfs and burkas -- then consider that headscarfs have been banned in Turkish universities for decades (though this ban was not always extended to students).

It's entirely possible to democratically elect a government that reaches majority support while harming the entire nation and the well-being of future generations. This is why certain laws are treated as immutable in most republics -- no matter how much the people want to change it.
So? An unencrypted CD was accessible for a time period to a third party. It's good security practice to consider the data to be compromised. Especially a powerful, malicious actor will put in effort to make it appear that this is not the case.

If anything, this requires a severe audit of the security practices of the affected organisations. Moreover, I think citizens of Denmark are entitled to know what information about their personal health records is leaked.

> You know, you can try and spin this n times till eternity, but it is pretty clear that either US or NATO tried to remove the legal government of a NATO member.

The fact that the US military base is without external power is hardly proof, much less "pretty clear" that the US or NATO was involved.

If I were in charge and there were a coup by the military, turning on power to military bases, especially foreign ones, would be way down my list of concerns.
enough laws and regulation surrounding digital security.

Many people, particularly those who follow the grugq, regard those who pass and enforce laws and regulation to be the #1 adversary in their threat model.

the grugq's writing is heavily influenced by real world tradecraft specifically because his audience's adversary uses it somewhat effectively against other nation states.
It's still not great. The train is slow, has way too many stops between Seattle and the airport, and sits too long at each stop.

Many of the long distance busses are overcrowded during commute hours and the drivers encourage people to cram in such that people are breathing down your neck the whole way to work.

They recently put in street cars that are slow, often blocked by traffic or parked cars, and dangerous to bikers.

I have a gut feeling that the billions they're planning on spending on trains would be better spent on more and better busses. The bus experience is usually pretty bad, especially when you have to stand for 40 minutes or sit facing backwards/sideways in an overcrowded bus that's AC can't keep up with all the body heat.

That and simply reduce on street parking and ditch all free street parking.

Overall, I was pretty happy with Seattle transit until I visited Amsterdam recently. Now I'm jaded.
I had always assumed that it was buzzword soup to get past HR/Recruiting (it's sad to see recruiters basically admitting this on this thread). As someone who has hired people I care far more about your experience and what you did at your last job(s) than a list of enumerated skills.

I would say make the skill section brief. Don't list every flavor of SQL you've ever worked with, just put SQL, etc. Or go crazy, but put it at the end. Honestly, I never begrudged someone doing a word dump at the end of their resume, as long as the rest of the resume was good. We all know that recruiters have no clue and might scrap an application if a buzzword is missing.
Lesson: don't be a twitter share cropper.

Ask HN: Review my startup
Tooddle launched a a couple of months ago.
It's a website (tooddle.com), which is meant for digital artists.

I noticed that on a lot of art forums there were art contest, like "Design an armblade" or "Draw a bird". Other artists would then submit art, and the best artwork would win the contest.
Tooddle is meant to replace these and host art contest (which are called challenges on the website).

Digital artists can create these challenges for each other.

I build up a digital art following with 5000+ followers on tumblr, and I'm trying to get these 5000 to sign up and use tooddle.

However, I'm having a hard time acquiring new users, and I wonder if I should keep working on it.

* I was concerned about Qt licensing.

The details that can be found on wikipedia are astounding.

Across the board Turkey has a lot of 80s era gear that's been lightly upgraded over the years and generally the Russians have about 10x the quantity of 2000s to 2010s era gear.

For example Turkey has 240 very theoretically active 80s era F-16 planes (how many are not deadlined / mission capable at this instant is a mystery, half maybe?) vs the Russian military theoretically has 1531 active 2000s and newer era SAM launchers. I mean obviously the Russians can not send every anti-aircraft unit they have to a skirmish with the Turks but its instructive that if they did, they'd have roughly 10 missile launchers fighting over the chance to fire on each target...

Its a similar situation WRT armor. Turkey has about 400 1980s era Leopard tanks. Russia only has 2500 2000s+ era main battle tanks.

Nobody is going to be rolling into the other side's capital any time soon.

Also worth keeping in mind the Russians have some recent-ish real combat experience but the Turks only have experience trying to genocide Kurdish civilians.
Meh. It used to have a RSS reader - right until the browser was killed for its skin (and logo), which was draped over Webkit and paraded around as a "new version". There is no Opera.
Also because they tend to have low testosterone, so the beard itself won't grow any higher than the jawline.

With time it improves - I had a similar beard in my 20s but now in my 40s it's all the way up.
Let's assume they have it.

What kind of interest would you say the Chinese government has in the health records of a few million Danish residents? I don't know, maybe it's really important, but then maybe it's not that critical after all.
And what does a software developer have to do with developing a software like Turbo Tax? The technical part is mostly trivial.

I honestly don't think it wise to go into any industry where you lack any kind of domain experience. Turbo Tax is mostly about accounting and tax law, not software development.
>Don't downvote, it's true. Animals can read your thoughts. The mechanism seems to be that they can see your visualizations: I can call my sister's cat in from outside "telepathically" by clearly "seeing" in my mind's eye the cat walking in the back door and "sending" the imagery to him.

Unsubstantiated nonsense. Your perception that this is a real phenomena is not evidence that it actually exists.
I can't say definitively as I haven't done any kind of "split-test analysis", and clearly there's a lot of selection bias in that I tend to speak only with recruiters who like my CV. Also, when going for a specific job, I edit it to prioritise the relevant bits.

For the type of jobs I want, in London, I do need a good CV. I also need a StackOverflow profile, industry connections (which I tend to make through meetups and conferences) and a portfolio. I should really have a blog as well. But I'm simply too small a fish in too big a pool to get by without a good CV.
The EU did not initiate the first schism between the EU and Turkey; it was Turkey's refusal to accept Cyprus (by that time a full EU member) as a sovereign state that caused all other negotiations to come to a halt.
Yes, it's my white male privilege that the majority of voters in Turkey elected a nutjob for his religious extremism and promises of violence against the kurdish part of the population.

You are right... blame my privilege for what's happening in Turkey.
> That's entirely controlled by miners.

This is why I found all the "voting" stuff such nonsense and somewhat deceptive in nature.

Miners that adopt the code that implements the hardfork is the only measure that actually matters. Everything else is mice voting to bell the cat.
Probably none, but you don't stay a power in the modern world by turning up your nose at any kind of information that comes your way.
I've been reading this sort of thing a lot recently. Indeed, I think someone admiringly called Turkey's military "the world's best armed constitutional court". Yet, from what I was able to gather, even the Turkish opposition parties objected to the coup, and comments from ordinary Turks (and interestingly Greeks) were that Turkish coups were very bad for them. Many of us presume to have the right to decide the fates of other nations-it's a weird throwback to the imperialist mindset.

I wonder if we'd be as supportive of the US military taking over, in the interests of National Security if say, Trump, won the election and withdrew from Europe and East Asia? Or if Scotland voted to secede from the UK with the consent of the Commons, and the British Army decided that its duty was to protect the Union, and overthrow an elected government?

There is no excuse for human rights abuses, but if the majority of Turks believe they've been chafing under Kemalism for 90 years, and want to try something different, what right do we have to presume to dictate to them?

In any case, I fear this is all going to be moot. The commentariat is starting to make noises about the Kremlin supporting all manner of extremist candidates and positions in the West, including Brexit, Marine Le Pen, and Trump himself. Putin may have found the soft underbelly of Western democracy: money. I hope this isn't the case as I'll be as much a victim as anyone; but if it is, it will be the first bitter taste of the foreign meddling and sense of imperious entitlement we've been demonstrating for centuries.
I told you facts, you told me conspiration theories.

Genuinely curious about the rationals for using non-standard CSS, e.g. webkit-slider-thumb.
My point was not that mining pools completely do away with decentralization, just that contrary to your comment, additional network computing power does not necessarily contribute to that decentralization. It can in fact push it in the opposite direction. And the reason for that is mining pools. If it wasn't for mining pools, your statement would always be true.

There is a lot about this topic in the new, free book from Princeton authors titled "Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies" (a great read)[1]. There is much research being done on the front of finding the best way to eliminate mining pools or at least stop them from potentially centralizing consensus to just a handful of people.

Oh, I want to frame this and put it on the wall.

I can't stand code where even the simplest thing is implemented as a giant tree of sub-5-line functions nested 15 deep (and probably, for bonus points, scattered across half a dozen files).
Do you want the Americans to fight the terrorists in Syria, or no? War is not without collateral damage. Our country gets criticized for not doing enough when we try to stay out of it, or for "murder" when we take violent action and someone innocent gets hurt.

Erdogan jails journalists who don't like him, and has committed a purge of police, judges and teachers who he disagrees with.

If President Obama dissolved police departments, school districts and judgeships on a wide scale, there would be mass protests or a civil war. We expect freedom of speech and freedom of thought, unlike many in Turkey, it seems.

Having democratic support doesn't entitle him with right to dismantle the very system that let him be elected, and in my uneducated opinion that's what he does.

Democracy is playing by the rules, not changing these rules each few years as you see fit, even while quoting "popular support" (but not holding any referendums, definitely).

The razors-as-a-service model was the big win here. Microsoft moved office to subscriptions. Apple now sells iPhone via a hardware subscription. Amazon has product subscriptions and on-demand buttons you stick on your washing machine that you can press once for a refill.

Gillette doesn't do direct sales so it misses out on subs. It must rely on retailers to execute subs. If Gillette did subs for $10 they could greatly impact their "base" dynamics, essentially: low churn, consumer inertia, recurring and predictable revenues, direct channel to consumer for marketing and cross/up sells, streamlined billing, etc.
True, but then it becomes a matter of contrasting the will of the "demos" with the ideals that need to be upheld to ensure the future well-being of the people.

There are very few actual democracies in existence today. There is a reason most democratic countries don't put every decision to a public vote and why there are often certain laws no government is allowed to change. You can agree or disagree with the priorities Atatürk set in place but from his point of view even an elected leader can become a traitor and enemy of the state and it's the duty of the military to stop him (because they are the only power not directly under the government's control and are able to resist with force if necessary unlike e.g. supreme court judges).

Saying "white people smh" is as racist as "black people smh" is.

"Both Germany and the US have something quite similar except they don't have a designated protector but instead put that duty on their citizens"

and that's a fricking huge difference. Speaking of the military's freedom to topple governments as a duty, as if it was a burden and not a pure power of privilege?

Imagine that the military fails in its "obligation" to topple governments. They let a government stay that should have been toppled. Will they pay? Will anyone punish them? Of course not. You say it "must be avoided if at all possible", but who gets to make that call? That's right, only the generals themselves.

But for the people it's completely different. They - we - have skin in the game, it's we who will suffer if a tyrannical government is allowed to stay. Which is why we, and only we, none of our high-minded "protectors" internal or external should have the final word on whether revolution might be "worth it".

> Unless the government, like Erdogan did, corrupted the military

You think that the default status of a military is to be uncorrupt. Interestingly enough, that is a mistake the US founders didn't make - although their opposition to standing armies has fallen by the wayside long ago.
