Please don't comment like this here, regardless of how you feel about Edward Snowden. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12337485 and marked it off-topic.

Edit: you've been posting a lot of unsubstantive, inflammatory comments about political topics. That's not what this site is for, so please stop.
I-10 goes all the way across the country. I-8 goes from San Diego to I-10. So I would say I-8 is the detour.
I don't think so, that looks like the setup I'd like to be using if I was on a more traditional distro.

One issue might be the handling of dependencies: does `yaourt -Qe` list everything you have installed or only programs you've given a specific command to install?
Hey Italians, don't take this the wrong way, but maybe the problem is not Italy, because I've done consulting for Italian companies at much higher rates than that.

Granted, this was in 2009, but I was billing back then over 1500€ a week for web development (Python) to a couple of Italian companies. Tax-free too. Remotely. And I'm only semi-fluent in the language.

I also know quite a few Italians working remotely for American companies. Heck, I'm currently working with a guy from Bari and I know for a fact the American company we're both working with pays him six figures.
Forget the coffee, it's just an excuse.

I think this subthread is pretty clearly about the predominant narrative concerning the NSA and how this article plays into that (regardless of who actually is "leaking" it), I was responding to the discussion around your statement of:

> "The NSA is impenetrable" is not and was not the prevailing narrative, to say the least.
Wow. This is parsecs away from the embarrassment that's modern Linux IDEs. What the heck happened?
Even for Gmail users, the + notation will handle this well. foobar@gmail.com and foobar+SearsSoldMyEmail@gmail.com will both direct to the same location, and relatively few resellers have the sense to strip the extra data.
This could be true, yes.

But I have the feeling, that good frameworks still make some stuff easier than others, while supporting arbitrary programming/turing completeness.

For example Cycle.js, which is a structural framework for reactive programming with observables. It's made for front-end developoment, but I can also model REST and WebSocket servers with it, since almost everything can be modeled as a mix of source-streams + (input-data) sink-streams (output-data).

Since it uses observables all over the place, it makes handling these data-streams much easier an clearer, by making them first class citiziens in the app.

It's very early in the project lifecycle, but that's along the lines of what I'm planning for my hobby OS[1]. Right now I'm planning on using Genode/seL4 for the kernel and doing a plan 9-style userspace in Rust. Genode has a Linux virtualization/compatibility subsystem that I hope to use to bootstrap Linux "flavored" namespaces.

Your example doesn't produce SIGSEGV for me. It prints out the text, "nil".

However, if I write

echo(cfg.someSetting[0])

it will segfault. This makes sense because it dereferences a null pointer (in Nim-speak, a nil value). I would guess that's what you experienced.

Dereferencing a null pointer is not unsafe. The program cleanly exits. Compiling that via C is sketchy though, because the C compiler may treat provable null pointer dereferences as undefined behavior.
Unfortunately, I was afraid to talk to her, ask her to hang out after work, etc., because I was terrified she'd think I have a crush on her and was hitting on her.

The funny thing is sometimes, for me, this has turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy, and suddenly I'm into them.

It's modulated by how furiously I worry about it.
Related - does anyone know of a super basic, from-the-ground up example of RNNs with TensorFlow? Even this is a little more advanced when it comes to RNNs (and I've personally found that the official TensorFlow documentation on RNNs/LSTMs is a little spare in terms of how the official example actually works).
You know that Google has a serious problem with handling complaints and feedback when people take every opportunity to interact with an actual Google representative no matter what the topic is or if they are indeed interacting with a real Google employee.
Do you put just the flights on the Ashton Hayes ledger? Or do you also put some portion of the carbon reductions done elsewhere on their ledger?

If they get some of the credit for saving elsewhere, the answer might be a huge negative number.

Of course maybe the flights are totally useless, but in that case I'm not sure they deserve 100% of the blame.
> Commissions alone can make you have to be 55/45 correct

Why are taxes on short term gains never considered?

Commissions, taxes, and being a small player means you don't get the best price, all make for quite a hill needed to climb just to break even.

I made a >100% return in the last 6 months by buying companies that made products that I understand and use frequently: nvidia and Amazon. I think if you focus on particular industries that you know well you can get an edge on 'the market'. I'm not day trading though, I'm just keeping an eye out for opportunities and trying to balance as much as I can. I'm also just playing with a small IRA account that I can afford to lose.
Listen, I don't mean to dismiss the kind of sober thinking you are putting forward here. There is a reality to these sorts of actions that, for the perhaps most optimistic or utopian among us, bears repeating mention of.

However, this:

> Tons of undredacted cables in there meaning a number of Afghan and Iraqi citizens helping the US were needlessly put at risk, for example.

...reads to me like a celebration of opposite day in the bizarro world.

Manning did nothing to put these people at risk; the state put them at risk with its murderous and greedy tendencies and foreign policy errors.

Announcing someone's name and affiliations, in the case of a decent, non-violent, dare I say "everyday" person does not in any way put them at risk.

It is only because these people are touched by the long finger of empire that the appearance of their name in a text file is compiled into danger.

Manning's heroism tends toward ending that empire and making these people (and those in a similar role in generations to come) safer and freer.

I had inherited a dual xeon 64gb ram server and I started tinkering with home server stuff. But its loud and hot and very much meant for a datacenter and not a basement.

So I'm working on migrating the server to raspberry pi's and AWS, depending on power needed and ARM availability.

My only issue is that a dual xeon with that much ram can run a LOT of stuff at once. and I have a lot of minor things packed into it. I think almost all the stuff will run on raspberry pi's, but I might wind up needing 20 of them at this point.

But yes. I think a small NAS and a raspberry pi running a media server should basically be a given for people these days. It's an amazing concept to actually own and control data.
I do this but note that '+' will invalidate your email on some sites and can't be used to begin with. Yay for poor email validation! Gmail ignores `.` in email addresses so you could also try `y.o.u.r.e.m.a.i.l@gmail.com` which will validate in more places - but then you can't pinpoint where exactly unless you start keeping track in a complex spreadsheet. But you will know that somewhere you signed up for sold your email address.

I hope this is the intention. I'd love to migrate off Jira. Presumably like others, it's the reporting and accounting features for management purposes that have kept us tied to it.
I've recently moved to pushing all my open source code to both GitLab and GitHub, but using GitLab for actual issue tracking, continuous integration, build tests, etc. I've found GitLab's integrated toolset to be superior to what GitHub currently offers, and in truth there isn't really anything I feel like I've been missing (some tools like Code Climate are only free for GitHub accounts, but it's easily resolved by just using both).

Plus the GitLab team has just been killing it with each release, and it just feels good to use open source (and be able to open issues, vote on improvements, track changes for the upcoming release...). Free private repos is just icing.

Setting up a project for both just takes a few initial commands to configure git:

git remote set-url --add --push origin git@github.com:account/repo.git
git remote set-url --add --push origin git@gitlab.com:account/repo.git

Then pushing to origin will always push to both. I also add a github and gitlab remote in case I only want to push to one as well.
I think you hit the nail on the head. It seems like organizations having equal paternity and maternity leave would level the field a little too.

I hear a lot of talk about regressive politics in AZ.

What I see on the ground here is that people from all economic backgrounds can afford to work, live, and have a family. What I see up there is a set of NIMBY policies that restrict prosperity to the 1%.

PHX adopts policies welcoming middle-skill, middle-income people and families; fauxgressives in SF Bay give them the middle finger.
Thats the dream!

The problem with the + notation is twofold: First, not all places accept the + character; second, you've now revealed your actual e-mail address (since foobar@gmail.com is just as valid as foobar+dontspamme@gmail.com).

I use a subdomain with catch-all, like me.example.com. Everybody is fine with subdomains and then I can use companyname@me.example.com. Using that format doesn't expose my actual e-mail address and makes it easy to filter (if match companyname, immediately bin and never tell me).
I would say that the "most experienced programmer" and the third team member (who I haven't mentioned at all) work equally as hard. They are both very competent, but the third team member definitely looks to the "most experienced programmer" for guidance.

I do not think Rob is purposefully pushing buggy code, I just think he has no desire or motivation to properly test it.

The third team member has no negative complaints about Rob besides saying that he prefers to pair program with the "most experienced programmer".

From my own perspective if we removed the "most experienced programmer" the team would sustain in the short term, but it would really struggle in the long term.

The "most experienced programmer" speaks highly of the third team member. That doesn't mean he isn't a jerk or a control freak, but from our daily stand up meetings it feels like him and the person he speaks highly of are efficiently delivering high quality code while Rob is having trouble delivering things at a similar pace and has complaints about pushing buggy code.

These complaints have been going on from the "most experienced programmer" for 6-8 months now and I think part of the reason it has festered this long was because I was not sure at the beginning whether there was any credence to what he was saying, but now I feel like his complaints are very valid.

It'll be a bummer not using latest android for the first time in many years (HTC G2 -> Nexus 4 -> Nexus 5), but I really can't imagine anything compelling me to pay hundreds of dollars for a new phone for a couple more years. The Nexus 5 has been practically the perfect phone for me.

If there's any truth in stories of Job's dietary habits, those can only be described as extreme. Apparently he limited his monthly diet to single fruit or vegetable that he switched for another one at the beginning of every month. He only included variety in when eating outside.

Both of those formats also work in comments outside of slash commands, are automatically linked to the respective entity, and label references are rendered as pretty labels, with their color and description tooltip.

Using those characters also enables autocomplete in the Markdown textarea.

In the web interface, they are very convenient, but they are not required, so when using slash commands with reply-by-email, you can leave them out and write exactly what you have under "Instead of"

> Before Snowden, a lot of nasty stuff that we now take for granted the intelligence community does, was seen as "tin foil hat."

This is true, but using it as a justification for "And therefore, my theory about what the intelligence community is doing is correct and does not need evidence" is a non sequitur fallacy that has become depressingly common in recent years. You still need evidence for individual allegations.

To show you what I mean, suppose I were to say, "The NSA has a constellation of mind-control satellites built with help from the lizard men!", and then responded to the deserved skepticism with "A lot of things that used to be tinfoil hat theories we now know to be true thanks to Snowden, so this is too!". That's obviously fallacious reasoning, but it's exactly what people are doing when they toss around allegations of backdoors with no proof. Again: there's no shortcut around the need for evidence.

> After Snowden, I no longer doubt the possibility of any realistically imaginable attack ie, assume that if they have the physical ability to do it, you should assume they do it and are not stopped by any ethical concerns.

I agree completely, but that's not what I, or the person I replied to, was talking about. The issue I was addressing in my comment was whether their backdoors are being built with the knowledge and cooperation of the vendors, which is very much unknown. Attacks like taps on cables are orthogonal to what I was saying.
>Sounds partially that management wasn't doing their job. I think more intervention early on would have been best.

Since it is an 8 person company I am the entirety of management, and I would agree. In retrospect I think I did a very poor job.

Since I can't go back and change that, do you think I should do those things I probably should have done months ago, or should I skip ahead of that?
If your app doesn't work on smaller screens or in landscape, you should be declaring that. Otherwise, your app is probably already running on devices with tiny, landscape screens and giving users the same experience as those with larger split screens.

As someone who had a similar experience[1] with Google Cloud, I would like you to understand that in Google Cloud people place their businesses. When you switch off a project, you switch off someone's business. For anyone else, even for a goverment agency, such action would never be taken hastily. Since downtime could be catastrophic for a company, you should err on its side. Technical prowess isn't all that matters for business.

That said, we still use Google Cloud for some part of our infrastructure and enjoy its technical side.

[1] The billing credit card for one of our projects expired weeks before any invoicing would happen. Instead of informing us —after all we were paying customers for many months before, there should be at least some good faith— all our projects were disabled many minutes (maybe 15 or 30) before we got a confusing email about the issue at hand and the total downtime was two days.
Wow that's wild.

I guess it's nice to learn that despite technology opening up the doors to so many other cons, it also closes the doors to some older avenues. I'd venture a guess that the former significantly outweighs the latter, which is too bad, but oh well.

I don't dare look this up on a work machine, but a google in the general direction of "Steamworks emulator" should get you going. The files in question are modified Steamworks DLLs (x86 and x64), an info file that holds the Steam metadata for the game, and a launcher to read it.
> exactly one email address that I use for Amazon

This is why I use my entire domain as my email address (i.e. *@example.com is routed to my inbox). This makes it trivial to hand out a unique address every time I fill out a form.

If any spam arrives that is addressed to "vendor.com@example.com", it's obvious who sold their email db. Bonus: it's easy to filter out spam when the spammer is sending to a unique address.
Ask HN: Google Recruiter contact etiquette
Hey, HN!

So in 2014 I was contacted by a recruiter for google through my linkedin (I am an undergraduate student at a state university) and I proceeded to speak with him on the phone about general things. The conversation went well and he asked that I reach out to him when I got closer to graduation to talk further.

Personal issues ended up delaying my graduation by a year and a half and now as I plan to graduate in August '17 I was wondering if too much time has passed to directly contact the recruiter.

Thanks guys!
CE does support restricting branches to specific roles: Master and Developer. In your case, I would suggest giving this single maintainer the Master role (which they already have if they're the owner of the project), making everyone else a Developer and configuring the master branch to only allow pushes (and merges) from Masters.
Seattle is cheaper than Portland at this point for being anywhere decent. Have friends in both and visit often, Portland has really jumped the shark and is very overrated. Also have a friend who just left Portland for San Diego because San Diego is now cheaper, and the weather isn't atrocious for 10 months.

The other places you mention are little college towns without any industry, could be appropriate for people in their early 20s who have their own job to bring. Spokane and Pullman are really cheap, but they're in the middle of nowhere. Reno is probably the best of the bunch, it's nice and has more of an economy, plus it's a relatively short drive back to civilization and San Francisco.

Some parts of Phoenix are really nice, as is Tucson, affordable, great weather, etc but the always-in-your-face abrasive politics of AZ can be off putting.

It's a bit further out, but I think the South will be major growth areas for tech. Highly affordable, friendly people, good weather for most of the year, great cities and culture, etc.
