As far as I can tell, some people believe everyone elses primary purpose should be to make their life better.

I made a statement that it might be nice if WSJ gave HN users the same treatment they give to Google users. You've made a radical generalization about someone based upon a single statement on a comment thread.

People that make radical generalizations about others based upon one data point are among the most dangerous in our society. Hitler did this, as do religiously motivated terrorists, racists, etc. Upon what other data points do you make such generalizations? Race? Religion? Sex?
Agreed, except for the "like Go" part, which is unnecessarily ad-hoc.
If you're thinking about watching this, it basically says memory safety is a thing, tainting is a thing, and being good at access boundaries would be nice.

It's not worth burning 45 minutes watching.
Obligatory "If only Git was a distributed system" snarky comment.

But this is seriously not a good time. Using gh-pages, hard deadline tomorrow morning.
I had just posted a link to an issue in github and when I tried to click it to see if it worked, I was wondering if I did anything wrong. Github has so much activity that many people could be thinking the same right now.

I also guess hundreds of persons are wondering if the commit they just pushed killed github's servers.
I suggested this to my program manager - and it went to deaf ears.

There is an ingraned urge to interrupt everyone and force people to waste 30 minutes of their daily time.
I'd be interested to see what exactly caused this. They are usually very good about preventing downtime.
I know a few guys making $300K+ at Apple.

I think a lot of people paid that much are reaping the benefits of strategic and tactical decisions made over decades -- they just happen to be there when it's all paying off and things are going well.

Not sure what to make of this other than that if, as a developer, you want to be paid well, go to a company that's "winning" and has mountains of cash. Shocker, I know.

(Though, as someone who's worked at a few places early, it does irritate me more than a little that these people take so little risk and yet are so highly compensated, relative to the guys who were there at the beginning getting things set up from scratch. Being an early employee at a startup is really such a shit deal - you take most of the risk, get a fraction of the equity of a founder, work hard, and don't get paid nearly as much as the people who come in 10-20 years after the strong groundwork has been laid)
We just started using Gerrit, but using Github authentication. Can't sign in! Not doing our own account management appears to have been a poor decision.
Don't worry, it will come back soon
TIL if you want to get a bomb onto a plane, declare a gun!

I'm kidding, of course. There are probably multiple reasons that wouldn't work. But this whole notion that by molesting passengers sufficiently and putting on a big enough show, we can significantly reduce casualties from terrorism is laughable.

At some point there has to be a tradeoff between safety and convenience, or no one in their right mind would drive a car.
You might check out the Surface Book instead
It seems to be down for me too.
Strangely, pulling from and pushing to github works. Just that no page on their website loads.
Risking to go off-topic a bit, I think the lazy versions of Text and ByteString wouldn't have been needed if we had nice abstractions for streams (lists are not, they cause allocation we cannot get rid of) so that you don't need to implement a concrete stream type (e.g. lazy Text and lazy ByteString) for every data type.

Rust does this well with iterators, for example.
I did the same. I spent a solid minute trying different things and googling to figure out what was wrong. Checked the status page and bam!

It's still down. :(
It's hard to capture monad in a paragraph and a couple examples. The utility of chain/flatmap doesn't get too interesting until you apply it to the Option Type or Promises but I didn't want to require readers to come with knowledge of them. Maybe a promise-based example isn't asking too much though
So this post says

We have verified that intercepting messages via the method you suggested is possible and is a problem. We have also verified it only affects firefox (chrome, ie, safari, opera, etc do not use the window for message passing in the same manner) and doesn't affect our primary addons.mozilla.org firefox download (which is still 3.0 version).

It seems latest version for windows is 4.1.20a? As I'm both linux and firefox user and there have been 2 password stealing exploits revealed I would very much like to know if this affects me (my version seems to be 3.3.1). Is there any version history that I could check or does anyone know what versions are affected by these 2 exploits?
This whole thread is exactly about how "write libraries!" (if done outside the standard library) doesn't work (see my top post).

I do agree that lack of modularity features certainly doesn't help though.
My friend shared tons of details in how he tested his future wife for possibility of long lasting relationship.

They got divorced 1 yr after marriage.

So much for writing a test cases. Follow your intuition.
I find standup useful exactly because it's synchronous. It's like a checkpoint, and keeps the project running smoothly, with everyone's goals aligned, nobody blocked, etc.

(We work in teams of 4-6 and standup is never more than 10 minutes. I've also had the "30-minute standup" which not really a standup...)
> Lenin was pushing for dictatorship of the working class ... While one may say that whose ideologies are of different colors, structurally they are the same and thus produced similar results - totalitarian states.

Lenin was born into a "totalitarian" state - Czarist Russia. The czarist government murdered his brother, which probably was an impetus for him into anti-czarist politics.
> Wear a burka every time you are in public. This suggestion is also as ridiculous as suggesting that people hide the fact that they are gay.

So let me get this right:

You are comparing the ridiculousness of a black person having to wear a burka in the US to avoid being shot, versus the ridiculousness of a gay person having to hide the fact that they are gay while in the UAE?

I'm sorry, it just doesn't sound as ridiculous to me to expect someone to take care not to utter the words, "I am gay" while in a country where being gay can get you legally killed, as opposed to the ridiculousness of a black person having to wear a burka in the US to avoid being shot illegally.

Being black in the US is legal, and being shot for being a black person in the US is uncommon. The burden of having to wear a burka all the time lest your blackness be discovered is large.

Being gay in the UAE is illegal and punishable by death. The burden of not saying certain particular words to expose your gayness is small.

Ergo, the black guy having to wear a burka option is clearly more ridiculous.
All the company stopped, yay!

Every time a service like Github goes down, I always swear to myself I'll replace that dependency with a project that takes days, weeks, or months to implement will ensure I'll never have hours or minutes of downtime ever again.
> I had to trash a perfectly fine and working iPhone 4 because I was left with no security updates

Had to?

- You could have returned it to apple for recycling.

- You could have used it without a SIM as an iPod/Game device for a family member

- You could have used it without a SIM as a GPS device

- You could have used it as an ad-hoc home security camera

The list of things a slightly older iPhone can be used for beyond its purpose as a web-enabled phone is long.

As your primary concern was a lack of security updates from the vendor, and you're not satisfied with a device that received updates four years after release, and support by four major versions of it's OS, I assume your replacement phone will be a tin can connected to a long piece of string, as the main competition to the unsatisfactory device manufacturer, often ships devices with 2+ year old OS versions and literally no updates ever.
You are welcome (even without thanking) :)
Time to procrastinate.
Very much agreed. I had a Surface Pro 3 for two years and sold it to get an iPad Pro 9.7 a few months ago.

Much happier with this. Yeah, you can run Photoshop on the Surface, but for just sketching and digital painting, Procreate costs $6 and is far more touchscreen friendly.

Once in a while I miss a piece of desktop software, but I have an old MacBook Air that I can get out if I really need blender or something.
Github was good while it lasted. Back to SourceForge.
How it's possible in the modern world with all software development practices that project as github.com can be down for more than 10 minutes?
My take is that if the work other people are doing isn't interesting, you shouldn't be at the same meeting.

If you can't learn from what they're saying, don't need to know it, and can't contribute, then you shouldn't be there. This is why we use feature crews as a subset of the team.

It is so funny how people side up with Google for doing the same thing as Microsoft.

But hey lets just shout to the wind the "do no evil" crap.

I use Android Studio with Gradle and Java to write Android applications, how come it isn't Java!?!

Every other company in this planet is fine to play by the rules of the Java world, just Google not.

Instead they fill the Android documentation with the Java word everywhere, rely on Java compilers and libraries, but just because they don't put a coffee cup it isn't Java.

On top of that they cherry pick features from Java, slowly making it impossible to write portable libraries without having multiple code paths.

Which is going to become increasingly harder with Java 9 and 10 features.

Just because they play word games by putting Android on the box, it doesn't make it less Java.
The git hosting is fairly independent of the web site. It happens fairly frequently that one is down and the other isn't. The git hosting has a resilient distributed back end designed to maintain redundant replicas and be highly available. The web site is, I believe, a huge Rails app.

Well, JS was originally competing with Java applets in the browser, but, like you said, fitness for purpose is pretty significant!

My point (or rather, the point of the parent comment that I'm agreeing with) there's a lot more than just the presence and characteristics of a standard library that determine how widespread a language becomes
Yep - very common with owners of convertibles. Preventing people from slashing the top to get in, which is of course a very costly repair.
GitHub needs to move slower and break less things. When was the last time Google was down for more than a minute?

I have a feeling that snapchat is their biggest threat. It offered something that facebook doesn't: a lack of a practical record.

Now it is slowly evolving into video twitter & personal news feeds. I can see it eventually adopting the rest of the functions that facebook has today. Recently they've added permanence with memories. Memories although give personal control and still prevent a bunch of problems of people seeing "the wrong facebook updates"
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Serial Number Crack Full Version
Wow I had a bad reaction to the show. I feel like half of it needed to head to the cutting room floor. Episodes are 48 minutes long, but very little interesting happens.

A lot of it is worn out tropes involving child and "teenage" actors that don't make it any more interesting to watch.

The photography is pretty uninspired and makes very little interesting use of composition, color, perspective, DOF. Sure you get a bone once in a while but most of it is pretty boring.

There is a passable few episodes in there somewhere waiting to be ruthlessly edited out. But really instead of subverting expectations in it's storytelling it hews very closely to the expectations that come with the tropes and genre. That puts a hard ceiling on how good it's ever going to be given that I'm not tuning in for the acting, sets, or photography.
Perhaps you should become acquainted with the music genre "synthwave", "new retro wave", or "outrun".

Psych!
I have found standup works best when it's

- Quick, 5 to 10 minutes

- Strictly focused on current status and blockers,

- Attended only by people who are directly working on the same project.

- Has someone designated to run the standup, who is empowered to table any discussions that start to drift.
I've heard some good things about GitLab but seems like the majority of the OSS community is still on GitHub (...for now).
> We have one string type defined in std, and nobody is defining new ones (modulo special cases for legacy encodings which would not be worth polluting the default string type with).

There's also `inlinable_string`, `string_cache`, `tendril`, `intern` if you need inlining for performance.

The bigger problem is with other things like 2D/3D points which can be (f32, f32), [f32; 2] or a custom struct.

> that Diaspora that gave users privacy,

Honestly, let's not give them that much credence, nor take them as any sort of proof that people don't care about privacy.

Diaspora was screwing up basics -- like, serving mixed HTTP content -- years into its development. Regardless of how it was marketed: Privacy first it was not.

> Good managers are invisible geniuses who know how to fade into the backdrop, get out of your way, allow you to make decisions, and do not feel fear that they have to micromanage or create empty superficial artifacts to justify that they are working.

Blame it on OAuth/OpenID.
Yes, exactly. I have never understood the prevalence of threat models of the form "if an attacker gets full, unrestricted access to my running session, they still won't be able to ..." or "if an attacker gets me to run code, they won't figure out ...". They make no sense, unless the attacker is stupid.

To be fair, there are a lot of script kiddies in the world.
I can think of few vulnerabilities with more monetary value than an arbitrary exploit of a password manager in broad use by a class of people who have access to huge numbers of private systems.

Young blood here. Can we go further?
Sure, but the stuff I need is already hosted on github. As is most of the API docs I need.

At the very least I need URLs for my stuff so I can put them in things I'm writing. But I need to check github to find them.

Basically, every 3rd thing I looked up in the last 20min was hosted on github.

I'm looking forward to the postmortem—GitHub usually does an excellent job with those.
Good chance to see how Rust team will accept negative reaction to their idea. If they will.
>Conversions between our 5(!) string types are very common.

All five of those string types do different things. This isn't a problem; we just have increased expressivity. We couldn't fix this by having a more coordinated standard library. 5 is also a very manageable number IMO.

>It's too difficult to make larger changes as we cannot atomically update all the packages at once.

That's what Stack is for, no?
I'm not familiar with it but apparently it's some Processing-based language.

Apple Maps, Apple Watch, F.lux, Those are just off the top of my head, Apples been around a long time and its happen many times (but as Ive said all companies to this). I just don't like deniers where Apple is viewed as all good and in the light, when they absolutely are not. (and neither are most companies) Apple is just made because its happening to them right now and not the other way around, its eating their potential revenue.

Why would one assume that their self-hosted git will never go down or will be up more than github?
When used as an attack, the efficient method is to buy servers or to have a botnet to do it for you.
Thank you. I am addicted to good management philosophy books. I think Peopleware also discusses a lot about this rare kind of manager.

On a less serious note, I really hope that for Turn the Ship Around! they went on a multi-city lecture tour and got Gloria Estefan to perform "Turn the Beat Around" but with "Ship" inserted, as the book's author ran up and down the aisles wearing chinos and a button down and high-fiving attendees. Then, slightly out of breath, he gets to the stage and the music awkwardly and abruptly cuts out, and he's like "Woo! Hello Peoria!! Are you ready to turn the ship around!!"
The point was that you could more easily replace the SSH server with a malicious one and e.g. hijack your agent when you connect to it.
Your posts were definitely stronger than it might be nice if WSJ gave HN users the same treatment they give to Google users.

People that make radical generalizations about others based upon one data point are among the most dangerous in our society.

People that get indignant and demanding about things are some of the most dangerous in society. Dispassionate egoists don't blow themselves up.
"The problem is that we need to let millions of people die of curable diseases constantly"

Evolution also has a simple rule: "Use it or lose it".

STEEMIT penalizes bots for posting on their platform
>Haskell should offer arrays and maps as built-ins

Why? What does that gain?

The standard platform provides Data.Map for maps, Data.Vector for arrays, and Data.Sequence for fast-edit sequences.

It's not even clear what a "built-in" array or map in Haskell would even look like, or what semantics it should have. Especially in a pure functional language, you need to be clearer about what your intentions are. A regular mutable packed array won't work most of the time.
There's only so far tin can and string will go.
I wonder how much of root of this can be reduced to election year political nonsense. A year from now, it's going to be much less annoying to be on the Internet.

The author is right that the product has some major flaws, especially around harassment, but no one else seems to want to take over the space. And Facebook, Tumblr, G+, etc. are all much worse platforms for the kind of discussion that happens on Twitter.

So I think the toxic environment can definitely put a ceiling on the number of new users, so does the timeline issues, but it could probably just keep plodding along for another 5+ years as-is until these issues are worked out or something much better is put in place (not likely, but possible, IMO).
