So, I User put my user/pass into a form field and hit submit. The browser makes a post to site.com/login with my information, but the server returns a 404. What happens in this case?
Squarespace is way too locked down. They advertise it as a great eCommerce platform and people come to us all the time already having setup a Squarespace store asking if we can pull their orders for fulfillment. It either has to be done manually or they force you to use ShipStation. Terribly inflexible for a webstore and I always steer people away as soon as possible. But hey, they got that sweet sweet exclusivity agreement so who actually cares about usability or the paying customer, right?

For what it's worth, that is one of the proposed exit plans for experiments in Test Pilot. If it doesn't look like it would succeed as a built-in feature, spinning it off as an add-on is a possibility if it has enough support from developers & users to maintain it that way.
Ask HN: What happened after acquisition?
I'm conducting research on what it's like to work at a company that gets acquired, especially if you were NOT one of the first employees. If you've been in this scenario, I want to know:
What employee number were you?
What was your role at the company?
Did you say onboard after acquisition?
How was this experience overall?
Oliver Stone asks moviegoers to power down phones–and leave them off
> So by "object identity," you mean doing equality comparisons with pointers instead of actually value equality. Just don't use eq. Use equal instead.

The problem goes further than that. “equal” doesn't really mean equal - it only means equal until the next mutation. Not very helpful in a language with unrestricted mutation.

> Yeah, that's true of every programming language in existance.

It isn't true in ML or Haskell. In those languages, mutation is strictly opt-in, on a per-type basis. When you don't use mutation, equality is by value. When you use mutation, equality is by object identity. You can't “accidentally distinguish” between two copies of the same immutable value.

> What, do you want every equal object to be mutated, along with the one you mutated? That's just crazy talk.

I want to distinguish between objects meant to be mutated and values not meant to.

> Well, if you're doing FP, than you aren't mutating values anyway. So just don't use eq.

If I'm doing functional programming, I want to mutate as little as possible, but certain things require mutation to be done efficiently. What I want is the language to help me distinguish between functional values and imperative objects.

(0) ML: If you attempt to mutate a value, you get a compile-time error.

(1) Racket: If you attempt to mutate a value, you get a runtime error. Pretty sensible in a dynamic language.

(2) Common Lisp: Only primitives are values, and mutating anything else is permitted.
Moore's Law seems to reach its limit only for CPU clock. But it still moving very fast for GPU, FPGA, DDR, SSD, etc, right?

Or even in term of Network connection speed - 100mbps, 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G (at lease in data center where it matters a lot.)

The simple usb connection speed also continue to increase at a fast rate.
Any program running on any non-realtime OS can stop for any number of milliseconds. There are a billion reasons for such interruptions like other processes wanting to run, cleanup phases internal to the OS, memory paging...

If your program stops for 50 ms, do you really care if it was because of a GC cycle or something else? If you really do care, then you are not allowed to target Linux, Windows or OS X all of which are decidedly not real time operating systems.
Yes we are!
The irony with your comment is that this is exactly one of the purposes of Test Pilot - to give new features a trial run rather than just "cramming stuff in as default".

It's an opt-in experiment, and at the end it's possible to a) be rolled in as a feature, b) spun off as an optional add-on, c) scrapped entirely.

Oh yeah, or d) taken back to the drawing board & re-engineered for another go-round.
A really good example of this would be TJ, who is known in the JS community as one of the authors of Express.js and has done a lot of Node.js-related stuff. But I follow TJ on twitter and he does a lot of unrelated work and has started a company recently [3]. Another good example would be Elon Musk, whom I think needs no introduction here.

Actually, the survival curve of the population is "squaring" [1]. That means that even while the average age of the population is increasing, the age of the oldest is not increasing at the same rate. The consequence is that the recent increase in the ratio of younger to older people will not continue to increase at the same rate, and will plateau. This also means that increased immigration will increase the current ratio of younger to older but not increase the relative burden of the old later on.

I had sort of different experience. I guess it heavily depends on what hardware you have. I installed ubuntu in an Asus laptop with the Nvidia/Optimus thingy. The optimus thing did not work but I can't really tell a difference because there is no AAA games in Linux; but at least on first boot it renders the desktop in native resolution.

I also reinstalled Windows 7 in the same laptop later to play SC, it supposed to be working great, but did not. I had to hunt wifi drivers from the laptop maker in a different machine and copy over, then hunt down the video driver because it is stuck in 800x600 otherwise. Same thing basically applies to every hardware you use. It used to be you have to install a driver for the mobo to get usb3 working at high speed.

So I really wonder if Windows should take the credit of "things just work" it's not like they wrote all the drivers.
Can you expand on 2007 Miami? I'm curious.

This brings back some ancient and hazy memories. Some time between 1986 and 1987 we installed these Sage (yes the same Sage that sells accounting software) "network" cards in a bunch of machines running DOS. The cards had two RS-423(?) interfaces presented on DE-9 connectors. You daisy chained machines with what appeared to be pretty standard looking serial cables and terminated each end of the network with a termination plug.

There was a redirector which loaded as a TSR (I think) and you could map drive letters to disks and folders on different machines. It wasn't terribly quick, and could sometimes be a bit temperamental, but it certainly helped with squirting files around our office and workshop.

I wonder if any older members of the HN community remember these things and could fill in on any gaps.
LWN articles are paywalled, but subscribers can generate public "subscriber links", which are the ones that get shared to HN. This is such a double-edged sword: it's great for visibility, but as you've shown, it means people can read your content for a long time and never even know that subscriptions are available. That trend only gets stronger as more people go through aggregators like HN/Reddit. Hopefully "pledge drives" like this bring in enough new revenue that they can keep the current system going.
Uh, the US government's granting China most-favored-nation trading status was certainly a conscious decision, and China would not be as far along economically if the decision had gone the other way. (Driving a wedge between China and the Soviet Union was the main reason behind the decision IIUC.)

"Paint drip" as a descriptor is not very insightful. Paint drip shape is simply what you get when you lay out all our skills horizontally and assign random depths to each one. Everyone is a paint drip shaped person by default.
I like most people do a lot of things out of habit. Suggesting people need complex motivations for actions completely fails to account for basic human behavior.
Plus their target date for initial Model 3 shipments is barely more than a year away. The hardware design is probably almost finalized right now. The software end needs to be production-worthy by about this time next year. They aren't even willing to remove the "beta" label from the Model S's autosteer functionality. I would not be surprised if the Model 3 ships with much more advanced autonomous driving features, but I can't imagine it shipping without a steering wheel.

Tesla is pushing hard to get the Model 3 out the door on time. They may not succeed, but they're going to do everything they can to try. Requiring the Model 3 to incorporate full autonomy from day one would be an enormous and unnecessary risk to their ship date.
“IT’S TIME” – Edward Snowden Just Issued a Mysterious Warning on Twitter
I guess I'm predisposed to be against such...how to put it nicely..."enhanced truths". The organization I work for considers honesty to be the most important aspect in an employee; you can be the very best at what you do but if you lie for any reason you're out the door.

It's far better to be honest right out of the gate, even if you think it reveals a flaw or deficiency, rather than found to be a liar in the future just because you wanted to look better for your interview.
That's refreshing.

Just the other day I was asking at another HN thread how employed people are supposed to be going to full day interviews (sometimes in different states!). "take sick days". No, that's BS.

The only situation that I think it would be worthwhile is if both parties were as certain as they could be at that point that the candidate would be actually selected. Then it would make sense to give the applicant some actual work and allow they to sit with their likely future peers.

My memory may be failing me, but I seem to recall Joel Spolsky talking about doing this.
Because when the now 30 year old was 0-18 they didn't have any say in the economic policy or leadership decisions.

Expecting an expiration is fair turnabout. There are some 17 year olds who work (I did) and maybe should've been able to vote. There are some 70 year olds who shouldn't be doing either right now I think. Just postulation.
The image seems to be doing b1 ^ b2 (which would be a XOR), but the result is the result of & (AND)
Capitalist free markets inevitably lead to consolidation of capital and monopolies/oligopolies that influence policy to promote their own rent-seeking. It's sorta why all the monopolies were broken up before and why some mergers are blocked (not nearly enough to promote healthy competition, though). "Free" libertopia markets don't stay free forever. They are self-destructive.

This is especially evident in the hardware IT market. Look, for example, at all the hard drive and SSD manufacturers that existed between 1990 and today. Eventually, they all consolidated back to Seagate & WD. And every smaller SSD company folded or got bought by the people who actually manufacture flash memory.

> which is like the opposite of what a libertarian would allow.

Allowing something assumes you have power to restrict it, which, in the market with consolidated capital you don't, unless you are part of the government, which can overrule an individual corporate mandate.

I respect your opinion and also think it is not a classy move by Erdogan.

On the other hand joking, criticizing and insulting different things and Germany actually prosecuted the comedian for that event. So in that sense German legal system thinks Erdogan is right, and he only used his legal rights?

I enjoy watching US political debates and as far as I can see they are free to insult everyone. Sometimes that brings color to conversation and I wish we had more freedom to insult in Turkey.

For the EU membership, I have complicated feelings. When I look from the perspective of EU. I don't know what will Turkey bring to EU? Opportunities or risks? Probably both. They may not want to deal with minor or major problems Turkey brings and that is OK. As a Turkish citizen and a curious person for different cultures, I would love to experience and learn from what EU brings.

Maybe I just can't sense the boiling, maybe we got used to getting shocked... But Turkey feels the same at everyday life.
Or I've simply dated myself. :/

Fascinating: Comparison of Amish (farmers, low rates of allergies, asthma) with Hutterites (farmers, high rates of allergies, asthma). Considerable common genetic stock.

Preliminary conclusion: Husbandry practices. Amish stock is kept near the home, all Amish do at least some work with animals, and all are exposed to animals. Microbial load estimated at six times higher than Hutterites, who keep their animals far from home and only whose adult males tend and are regularly exposed to animals.
> In many ways the Internet was better 15 years ago when you could get free music on Napster and you could get laid on Craigslist.

I kinda get the point but that is a horrible example. Craigslist is probably one of the few things that works (and looks) exactly as it works before. Whether you get laid on it has hardly anything to do with software quality.
For hard realtime systems it actually doesn't matter anymore. These are mostly implemented with a "don't allocate at all" strategy, since every allocation is not determistic. Therefore things are mostly statically allocated and bounded. And maybe there are some objects pools are around. You can do this in Go in the same way as in C. The only question there is if the GC will still run in the respective languages if no allocations happen through the user (e.g. because the runtime could do allocations in the background for it's housekeeping).
I love these old timey hacks, back when people had to be clever to get anything to work because the computers were so pitiful. I'm really impressed how he implemented not only networking, but OS integrated network storage in only a handful of kilobytes on a machine that is thousands of times slower than a smartwatch.
I see; thanks.
Correction: I meant to say each of them get their own GC, not VM.

I'm mainly wary of Squarespace because their entire frontend compiles to YUI which stopped being maintained in August, 2014 (see https://yahooeng.tumblr.com/post/96098168666/important-annou...). You don't write YUI, but that's what the code ends up as when you visit the site. I tried out their developer platform early after they launched it, and trying to be productive with it put my brain in a pretzel.

I feel as though the SS CMS is overpriced for the features you get, and you're locked into their tech stack & templating which I find leave something to be desired. You can use Wordpress as a CMS and use the API to get the data yourself, or just compile the site to static for free with a plugin, not to mention the large number of paid pluggable CMS solutions for developers. The list goes on, but a local development server shouldn't be this big of news for a CMS developer platform.

Over the next few months, Microsoft is pretty much entirely rewriting Skype and replacing all the existing clients. Skype has traditionally been a peer to peer application, and used client computers as supernodes and such. They are moving to a fully cloud infrastructure, and will probably perform similarly to other chat clients based in the cloud.

Of course, the other half of this is that depending on which newer or older Skype clients you have, you may or may not be able to talk to other people based on what clients they have. Messy transition period.

I've always loved the location of that museum by the way - not only beautifully situated facing the water, but also across from a park frequented by sellers of hashish (at least it was when I lived in Lisbon back in 2012). The big iron fence dividing the licit drug museum from the people selling illicit drugs right in front of it has since become my favorite metaphor for the history of drugs.
It seems quite likely to me. Like why launch the coup at prime time, arrest zero government members, leave most TV stations running and not fire on Erdogan's plane? Also the guy who "allegedly gave the order that set the coup in motion" was one of Erdogan's AKP mates brother. Just today the guy who bombed the parliament was testifying and said he was instructed to drop a bomb in the parliament garden. I mean why bomb the garden if not for theater?

What I'm wondering is where things go from here and if anyone can do anything about it. I'm guessing the likes of the NSA probably have some info on who did what if they feel like using it.
SSO has nothing in particular to do with two-step login.

Two-step login is just a way of getting a branded experience in front of the user as soon as possible, nothing more. It is neither necessary nor indicative of SSO (which you have described correctly.)
I agree and I use Linux everyday (and Windows).

For the typical desktop user, we have to ask what the intent of usage is. Running a business with proprietary software and licensing, typing up documents for personal financial planning, playing games.

Linux has never been consistent with so many flavors of the day out there, but generally it is a heck of a Swiss Army knife when it comes to solving problems for me at least.

> Is Comcast mostly crappy because of their (regulation provided) monopoly? Do those (particular) regulations exist for good reason? If not, can we work on removing them to level the playing field?

1. Yes. Consider the cities where Comcast had to compete with G. Fiber and see how much faster the speeds they are offering are.

2. They exist for good reason for Comcast, not so much for everyone else. And Comcast spent a good deal of money to lobby policymakers to install those regulations in the first place. The government didn't just mandate them out of the blue.

3. You can work on removing them if you have a comparable level of access to policymakers as Comcast does. Do you?

A lot of it is that many investors and media covering the market only care about the fundamentals of the company and quarterly earnings, and can't understand how a company that constantly dilutes its stock and mostly misses expectations/predictions and isn't turning a profit has such a high valuation.
