GiveMeTap (YC W15) Is Hiring a Mission-Driven Sales Manager (SF, CA)
A pretty decent game I tried recently with this staple spell was Stronghold: D&D Kingdom Simulator. (super protip: if you decide to play this game, then one thing you want to do for sure is e.g. have Dwarves build Armories for the other classes that can't build them but can use them, then turn over control as described in the manual—same goes for Thieves and their Glassworks if you run up against Medusae)

Oh and by the way:

I've been working on projects around 5k-10kloc without any issues. None of the individual files are more than a few hundred lines though. Atom doesn't handle really long files well but I consider those a sign of a need to refactor anyway.
Umbel — Austin, TX

Umbel is building the infrastructure by which companies own, control and access their consumer-centric data. Our platform enables customers to leverage their data rights and create tangible business value. We take employee satisfaction and growth seriously. We also expect a lot in return. We are currently seeking a Front End Developer to join our fast-growing and dynamic engineering team: http://umbel.theresumator.com/apply/VngMB5/?source=Hacker+Ne...
To anonymize ourselves, we must know what common values are used for specific points of measurement by servers. Unless we set up our own website (such as this) how else will we know we are increasing our anonymity?

Turning everything off, or disabling plugins is a unique data point in itself; I am not sure we'd want to avoid leaking our plugin configuration as if that is the default, we are then a very unique data point. Instead, we would have to know what values are common, then report those to servers.

Edit: Also, the cited Firefox plugin doesn't seem to spoof the client's display resolution correctly[1]. With such plugins, I can imagine our profiles become increasingly unique, as it may present potentially numerous combinations of metrics to servers that are not typical in the wild.

They still don't have a way to build a release without a network connection. Which basically means any secure (builds in sandbox) source-based distro can't package it.
Thank you. I couldn't remember the name of the book or the author. There's a lot of queuing theory in the book, along with the mathematical conclusions (eg 100% utilization = arbitrarily long queue times). Fantastic book, I think I'm going to have to make sure it's on the kindle for some upcoming flights.

They have public datasets that might be useful.
Nah! That's what normal countries do. ;-)
Plus if it turns out to have been caused by the Trans Bay Terminal, they have very deep pockets (they supposedly spent $58 million on a buttress to protect the Millineum Tower). As does the developer, Millennium Partners and the engineering from firm's insurance companies.

This will get fixed. There will just have to be a big fight to see who has to pay.
It seems that you need to read more carefully and perhaps with more generosity.

> A few examples:
- Foundations of tall building must go to bedrock - not true.

I see few if any comments here asserting, let alone asserting without qualification, that buildings must be built to bedrock. Further, heeding your own advice that expertise should be bidden, note that the apparently expert sources in the article said themselves that not building to bedrock can be a problem.

I see people here noting and reflecting that expert opinion. Few if anyone going beyond it. And you're not reading the source material carefully enough if you miss the take that not building to bedrock can carry some risk.

> - Large buildings settling is unusual - not true.

Again, I see no one or very few people here saying this. Of course buildings settle over time. And here in this thread, contrary to your blithe and dismissive assertion, we even have people pointing out that settling happens not just in towers but in buildings of most any kind.

Note as well, again, that the very experts you appeal to say that this tower's settling is both comparatively fast and that its magnitude is unexpected. These are the experts talking, so you come off as hypocritical at best here. The nature and particulars of the settling in this particular case appears noteworthy and to be a reasonable cause for concern.

> - Earthquake safety has been compromised in this case - not true.

Ahh... so, now you are the expert and capable of refuting this possibility so entirely-- upon merely a cursory examination of second- or third-hand information, rather than a primary analysis, no less-- that it is somehow faulty for people to question whether this might have an impact on earthquake safety? My, my; odd that you called for caution in drawing conclusions until experts had weighed in, then turned around and flatly conclude that which I doubt even experts would leave completely unqualified, and certainly not universally and unanimously so.

The comments here so far are not much of the chicken-little or even rabble-rousing type. Try being more respectful toward your fellow community members.

How to Implement Conditional Validation in Angular 2 Model-Driven Forms
HTTPS doesn't conceal the domain, or the length, or the order of requests. It's less of an issue for Google, because so much stuff comes from one domain. For small sites, figuring out who read what isn't a hard problem. In practice, you can probably buy that info from an ad tracking service.
It's not actually "vanishing" civility. Life has always been that way among those who live above subsistence levels. Court life in the middle ages is rife with examples. It's important to realize that these "jerks", "bozos", and "assholes" are all engaged in political maneuvering. They're playing an entirely different game than you, and the only way to stop them is to remove possible political reward for such actions, or at least raise the risks so high as to not be worth the effort to begin with.

HN has largely been successful in this endeavor through a mix of technology and culture. You can't get rid of it entirely, but you can certainly subdue it.
We are still using email to this day as a relied-upon means of communication -- easy to spoof, difficult to secure, and commonly exploited for spam.

Ask HN: Big software teams, how do you manage your computers?
I'm curious how big (this definition: Above 50) development houses manage licenses, installation of updates, software in general.

I've seen so many models in terms of locked down deployment, self-managed machines and I'm genuinely curious about what large software teams around the world are doing to keep themselves.. you know, legal, efficient and malware-free.

> No one is a “checkbox” asshole.

With all due respect, this is spoken like someone who's never moderated a forum.

True, an actual human being, with meat and parents and bills is probably not a checkbox asshole - but online, we almost never deal with that person, aside from the people you know in meatspace on Facebook. I am not an actual human being to you, and vice versa, and can't be unless we take a very long time to actually get to know each other as such.

On the internet, we are more two dimensional, because we present as such, and some people get their kicks out of exposing their asshole nature to others. There is no fixing this, at least not on any sort of scale, which does not work when you're moderating. You'd have to fix them as an actual person, and taking a human being on as a project is unfair to everyone else who doesn't get their kicks by doing things "for the lulz".
In the case of the green party, it's part of their platform to do away with FPTP voting, so potentially no, we wouldn't be back where we started.

You should definitely read the book -- one theory the author challenges is the idea that the Dorian invasion was the proximate cause of the Greek Dark Ages. Instead, he finds evidence that the Dorians were moving in prior to the Dark Ages; they were more opportunists than invaders, taking advantage of the collapse rather than causing it.

Thanks for sharing that link! No mention of encryption or security on the features page is what personally turns me away. You don't even mention security :(

This is what frightens me in 2016. Apps are being developed where security is not the primary constraint. After everything we've learned about warrantless wiretapping, the NSA collecting everything, etc it's like nothing will wake some people up that they need to adjust to the new paradigm that security MUST be the primary constraint. Sigh.
How Natural Language Processing Helps Mattermark Find Business Opps
I think that makes sense if you're in a position of authority over the person (manager, etc.); but if you're peers and the other person was acting in a public venue, I view this as self-policing. Frankly, no manager can do it all on their own, the entire team has to set the culture.
You can run Quip on premises, and it's functional without an Internet connection. So if the security picture matters that much there is an option (priced rather well, too).

There are a number of "shadow IT" single-admin Quip instances popping up both in systems I'm aware of and those I hear about from other folks, so I'm guessing it's easy to administer. I know it works without Internet connectivity because I saw someone install it in an environment that intentionally has no access.

I've always wanted Google Docs on prem so if Quip is it, that's interesting in itself especially for the security reasons. But, Google has incredibly stringent controls around user data after a particular press-involved incident involving an SRE, so while the paranoia of possibilities is well-founded, in practice they'd need a damned good reason (like a critical failure in the product) to even look. They can, and do, walk employees for getting this stuff wrong.

So theoretically, yes (good security mind), practically, not likely.

Yes, that for sure is mentioned as a distinct possibility. Sometimes in such matters the city can also be sued for approving plans if they are subsequently found to be faulty or inadequate as well. And if there is any other construction going on nearby besides this Transbay Terminal that was mentioned, that could be called into question as well.

I didn't realize Atom struggled with long files. But the longest file in my project is about 1200 lines, the rest are a couple hundred lines or so. Your right about the refactoring but there's lot's of other stuff to work on as well so that probably won't be done anytime soon.

Also my computer is due for an upgrade which adds to the unusability, it's a 2010 MBP with a 1TB 840 evo and 16GB ram. The CPU is definitely lacking though, it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Yeah. It's not the best algorithm.

...And allowing them to pass on 100% of the cost to their renters.
There are two benefits to having subpackages in the way you describe. The first, as you mention, is to slim down the framework. I don't think this gains a whole lot except for trimming down deployment sizes. If you don't use the components then the code doesn't run.

The other benefit would be so that the components could be used outside of Django. Using forms or templates might appeal to projects outside of Django. This isn't currently possible for a large majority of components since they depend on the global settings module, and/or other components.

What could be done with the dependency constraints is to build in different templates that `startproject` would create for you. It'd only be able to modify settings and write out requirements files, but it'd achieve a structure for different app types.

> The way the ORM would give up is drop all filters. So you write your 3-line filter, and the ORM does nothing. It doesn't blow up, it just does a straight SELECT call on the table without filtering. A nightmare.

Just switched a client from a verizon t1 (really an att t1, you just can't escape them) to a verizon 10mbs dedicated line. Asked for fiber, but basically got a dedicated dsl line from the office to the co via windstream. Also has a verizon wireless link for backup.

This client has had a T1 for a number of years it was great running 5 remote desktops and voip services. The use of google maps to do some work really killed the bandwidth however.

Unless you are doing serious upstream stuff, I'd stick with the DSL and try and get a caching web proxy to reduced your bandwidth usage.
I wonder if the versions there are a typo. In the linked issue it says "in the mean time we are stuck with Racket 6.2" Still not the most current version but much closer.

Almost nothing in this comment is accurate:

- You CAN determine the type of rock you are drilling through as well as it's relevant characteristics. Pieces of the material are brought to the surface with the drilling mud and instruments are put down the hole.

- Builders DO NOT just stop drilling when their drill won't drill no further. (This made me laugh!) There is testing, design, design review, more testing during construction, more design review and perhaps modification based on conditions. If a particular drill could not drill to design depth, they would likely change the bit or drill.

- While there will always be some uncertainty, engineers require more than a vague understanding of soil conditions to design the foundation of a building like this. Any remaining uncertainty should be taken into account in the design.
