It's great that Microsoft has made PowerShell available to anyone who wants to do as they like with it and even took the trouble of packing it up for Linux and macOS, but for release, they have to care about their paying customers first, which includes some Windows admins who ignored 10 years of advice to never use aliases in a script. I'm a Skype for Business/Exchange admin who has generally followed that advice, but even I tend to use "select" instead of "Select-Object" in scripts.

This sort of thing is part of why open sourcing stuff that was developed closed and commercial isn't just a matter of tossing it up on GitHub and dropping a note here.
This is a good way to hire a talker and not a doer.

> someone's PHP code quality is higher if they've done more than just PHP.

That's how most quality frameworks for PHP were born, by folks having used other languages.

That being said, I find Symfony3 to be very decent. I was surprised by the quality of its documentation.

You're taking to events, that are 15 years apart, and tying them together. But I've given you another event that's closer on the timeline, and you deny it's connection.

The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act was passed in 1970. Nixon pushed drugs as "Public Enemy #1" in 1971. The DEA was founded in 1973. All of these things were done/created to chase drugs. To imprison people who were associated/profited from drugs. All of these things coincide with the prison population inflection point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Drugs#/media/File:US_in...

The recent revelation that the Nixon administration focused on associating subversives (black people and young educated white kids) with negative "illegal" actions (black people with drugs and young white kids with communist/socialist) only underscored my argument. Especially if you take into account things like the CIA association with the Contras. The government had/has a hand in making certain segments of society illegal and imprisoning them.

I agree, the public supported a tough on crime approach. They supported it with Nixon, Bush Sr. and even with Clinton. But the government told/tells people what crime is. And it is fact that a lot more "crime" came to our attention at the start of the drug war. A drug war that happened to take place in "problem"/"subversive" communities. A drug war that happened to take place when an agency in our own government, which was tasked with stoping subversion, had it's hand in moving drugs into those same communities.

Move the drugs, lets the drugs proliferate, let the increased police presence from the drug war quell subversion.

The fallout was the prison industrial complex and the private prison industry.

I'm not saying that the private prison problem came first, but at this point they damn sure have enough power and money to make sure that they're not going away any time soon.
The recourse for anyone else would be a lawsuit in small claims court. That would at least get their attention, and possibly an issue resolution.
Yes, the US.

My point is, you can either increase range by having better batteries, or you can do so by charging up while at your destination (ex., in your parking lot at work).

It gets even better if you're running errands and you've got a charging station at the grocery store, library, city hall, etc.
Around iOS 4, I jailbroke my phone and installed an extension that would look up the phone number for every incoming call and tell me what it was. It reliably told me about spam calls without having to answer them.

Jailbreaking wasn't really viable long term, so I lost that. Now I just get the city and state, which isn't very useful. Sometimes I answer and get a spammer, sometimes I don't and let legitimate callers leave a message. It works, but I wish I had the jailbreak extension still.

When Apple said they were adding caller ID extensions in iOS 10 I got excited about being able to rebuild the feature. Unfortunately, all they can do is provide a list of number/name mappings, they can't do dynamic lookups when a call comes in. Useless! So I'm a little unimpressed with Apple here, since there's such a great solution they're blocking.
I enjoy playing this game.

Find me a boss that believes this (and has their own boss believing them/it enough that they don't force them to maintain the status quo) and I'll go work for them and then recruit you.

Less jokingly, there are two problems here; one that this sort of embedded culture is very slow to move (especially given that the powers that be are often from prior eras of culture) and secondly that I believe there are actively people of THIS generation who still believe in or at least pay sufficient tribute to the "butts in seats, work long hours" mindset. (I reference family members in finance, and managers I've had at software bigcos in the past spouting such wonderful quotes as 'I can't advocate him (a high performing engineer) for a promotion because he's full remote and it sets a bad precedent' and 'You need to increase your throughput. (me) You realize I'm already working 13 hour days. (him) Work harder.')

Summary: CR+LF was in common use because it directly descended from commands used to directly manipulate a printing head. Multics started using LF only because by that time the hardware was abstracted from the software, and Unix later followed this convention.

See also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return, which describes more about how early CR was used.
Just a friendly reminder that there are online shops that sell DRM-free content. I found this guide helpful: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide

In particular, I'm a Downpour.com customer for audio books. Up until now they had all the content I wanted, high quality too. And with a subscription the prices are good.

I've also bought DRM-free games from Gog.com. E-books I sometimes buy from Google Play, where they have mixed content. I only bought DRM-free books from them, like for example the books in the Ender's Game series. The publishers of all technical books I needed, like O'Reilly or Manning, are publishing DRM-free. If I want a book that's only available as DRM-enabled, I buy it in print.

For music, I used to have a Google Play Music subscription and also tried Apple Music. But then I realized that I need streaming for work basically and online radio is better. For example I like RadioParadise.com, they are ads free.

Bitching about DRM to let other people know about its problems is cool, but even cooler is voting with your wallet.
As a regular dude who was thinking way too much about a former college girlfriend. I want to thank Gawker for showing me a picture of her in Cabo with at least 30 dudes.

I don't want to get into a debate. She was just a product of life/business circumstances? I just remember a girl who who suddenly got depressed when other pretty girls were around, at work, or wherever. She was on a company vacation, but seeing her with so many seemingly desperate dudes, jerked me back into realty pretty quick. I never wanted a Amish girlfriend, but I didn't want a canieving, opportunist then, nor now. And yes--I guess it's a bit sexist? I had to include that last sentence. Why--just because.

She was a statistics/accounting major in college. She was always gauging her odds for seemingly everything. When I heard she got tired of San Francisco, and still wasen't married, I just had a hunch she would go to a place that she thought would up her her social desirability. I figured she thought Silicon Valley would be the place--a lot of ambitious white guys.

That's where she ended up. It was probally business related move, but I was so glad I saw her in that publication years ago. I believe it was called The Valley Wag in the day. It saved a lot of speculation, or what's the phrase--maybe regret over what could have been?
Thanks! Only after reading your comment the headline started making sense grammatically. I was wondering why would they write such a malformed sentence, with "General Motors" in my head the whole time.
Also, I'd love to have a few seconds when the solution is given to learn from my mistakes. Right now it's going too fast...

>But as soon as we are able to solve a problem that we think (feel?) only true AI (AGI) would be able to solve, as soon as we know how it was solved, it is no longer a mystery that warrants amazement and we argue that it is not real intelligence, just like the link below states.

Well, the problem here is that we keep expecting "real intelligence" to have magical properties: we expect intelligence to be a way of creating new and interesting thoughts, ex nihilo, rather than an efficient engine for distilling structure from experiences, and to be ontologically special to prove how special we humans are on a universal scale.

There are cognitive science and neuroscience labs hard at work on deciphering how actually-existing human thought works, but as far as I can tell, everyone facinated by "AI" is so enamoured with intelligence being special that they don't pay attention to those labs. A great deal of books and papers are thus published, and as far as "AI" is concerned, it's all in vain somehow.

That's a nice overview of autodidact resources for DS.

But I suggest that you tweak the name a little, like "The Open DS Masters Program" or "Toward OSDS Mastery".

"OSDS Masters" sounds like a plural noun, like you're trying to say, "at this website you can find the great open source masters of data science" -- like Richard Stallmann or the authors of Weka. It's a bit confusing.
I think it's possible this might work. I also think getting it to work, if it does work, will require either impossible luck or a lot of effort to build a useful database up front in order to attract users and build a community.

The way I see it, if I go to the site for the first time and paste in a recruiter email and there's nothing in the database, the odds I come back go down significantly. If against odds I come back a few hours/days/weeks, later and have the same experience, I will probably decide the site is useless.

In some ways, the site is a marketplace where people are buying information [at least with their time]. If the database does not produce relevant results, then in terms of a market their are no sellers. An empty database is useless no matter how many queries it gets and pretty much nobody does data entry for fun.

In the short term, there needs to be a market maker - someone who makes sure that sellers can sell and buyers can buy...and here it is the buyers buying that needs help and the form of a market maker is someone who goes out and fills the database with useful information and that's probably the website owner and if that doesn't sound worthwhile then the appeal of doing so for random people on the internet may well be similar...even if data entry gets gamified via awarding points/badges when the data gets returned in a query.

The challenge in the problem Frecruiter tries to solve is social more than technical and the social success will probably require more than a call for data entry volunteers.

Good luck.

I started a consulting/services company a few years ago, and this year was finally in a position to start hiring. I'm a big proponent of this type of thinking, so while I couldn't offer the best salary, or the best benefits - I could offer a better work/life balance. I knew it was a win-win for us and the new employee.

We landed on a 36 hour work week. 8-5 Mon-Thurs, then 8-12 on Friday. We had more applicants than I ever dreamed of, and scored a great hire that was coming from the 70-hr-a-week startup life. Everyone's been extremely happy over the past six months, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on any productivity what-so-ever.

I feel you on that. Tron and Sneakers are both more fun, and Sneakers captures computing more accurately.

On the culture side, I don't know of any major films that capture computing culture. Charles Stross's Laundry series does a better job than most (You can still read The Atrocity Archives without a backround in computing, but you'll get this nagging feeling you're missing something), seeing as Stross is up to his eyeballs in computing. It's also the first piece of fiction I know of to reference Symbolics. And of course, the protagonist's name is Bob Oliver Francis Howard. Because that book just couldn't get any more in-jokey. But, you know, in a good way.

"You" and "Daemon" also capture bits of computing fairly well.
> Soul is something that is run on the hardware of the brain

Well no, that's kind of the point. If it's run on the brain's hardware (wetware?) then it's just a physical machine following physical laws, and it's no more or less conscious and has no more or less free will than a computer.

As we understand the 'natural' world, there's no room for free will. Your three sources of data for choosing your state n+1 are your state n, your perceptions of the world around you, and maybe some truly random factor.
> text "scraping" is just better for most cases.

Unix pipes handle bytes, not just text. For instance, copy a hard disk partition to a remote hard disk via ssh:

(dd if=/dev/hda1) | (ssh root@host dd of=/dev/sda1)

The KISS principle ("Keep it simple, Stupid") is the best way in many cases. In Unix you can quickly enter a pipe without special coding which does also non-trivial stuff. For instance,

find -name "*.xls" -exec echo -n '"{}" ' \; | xargs xls2csv | grep "Miller" | sort

gets a sorted list of all entries in all Excel files which contain the name "Miller", no matter how deeply the files are located in the directories. Can you do this in Powershell quickly? I don't know, I am actually curious.

Objects in pipes are convenient and powerful. However, for most applications of pipes they are probably overkill. If things get tough you can simply use files rather than objects.

I would not be surprised if many Windows users will prefer bash pipes from the Ubuntu subsystem in Windows 10 rather than Powershell because it is much more handy for most pipe applications.

Ask HN: How do your remote companies handle problem of sharing knowledge?
Hello everyone!

We've been discussing today on our retro meeting the problem of sharing knowledge across the company. The problem is that we have a lot of tools which we can do that, eg. Google Docs, Github Wiki, a blog, Dropbox etc. and it's hard to tell when to use which one as each of them has some pros and cons.

I wonder if this problem is already solved by some kind of tool which I was unable to find, which provides some kind of "Knowledge Hub" where you can find everything that is being shared across the company?

How does your company solve this problem?

Front end development changes so fast that you could not include it in a university curriculum the way universities are structured. (i.e. if you spent 7 years in the rat-race of getting tenure, any skills you have about front end development are 7 years old)

Template engines are one of the more ridiculous inventions on the web, if you think of it. Doubly so if you have them in PHP, which is a perfectly good template engine - sure the syntax could be better, but the popular templating engines are even worse at any but most trivial tasks. They all start as an attempt to remove the possibility of writing meaningful code in them[0], and then grow cruft until they become Turing-complete due to the needs.

The more stupid thing about them, which transcends PHP and touches all other programming languages, is the very idea of assembling HTML piecemal from unstructured text. HTML is a textual representation of a tree, and should always be constructed as such - and not by gluing strings together. It's kind of the same problem as with SQL injections, which would not be possible in the first place if people weren't gluing them together from strings.

I'll probably get flamed for saying that, but really - many of the popular tools on the web are broken on a fundamental, conceptual level.

[0] - because of a misunderstanding of the "don't write logic in your views" principle; sure, don't write business logic in your views, but that doesn't mean you don't need, or shouldn't use, a real programming language in your views.
Charging for a tethering feature is a business practice with precedence and history in the wireless industry, so it's unlikely the EFF or other advocacy groups will be able to do much to nullify a charge to enable LTE tethering.

Wireless carriers are starting to take pages from fixed/cable provider playbooks. Charging based on different access speeds of access (SD vs. HD video, or 2G vs. LTE tethering) is a time-honoured tradition with a long and profitable history. With more converged providers (i.e. wireless and wireline as a single corporate entity) and more effective cross-communication between departments, it was only a matter of time before spectrum became "fast enough" to start applying wireline strategies.

I'm wondering about the BingeOn charge. The spirit of net neutrality is that content must not be discriminated against, unless the customer agrees (i.e. opt-in). T-Mobile has clearly shown they have an appetite testing gray legal waters, which turned out to be a decisive short-term competitive edge. Clearly, they're willing to go further in testing the definitions and intent of "opt-in".
Do people never call you, or do you really receive that many robocalls? Is your number listed publicly anywhere? I have an AT&T cell and a Google Voice number and I get maybe 1 spam call per month on my cell and 0 on my Google Voice. Might be worth changing your phone number.

Probably only because every CS undergrad or self-trained person sees at least a few search algorithms. So although they probably couldn't write a performant chess-playing program, they get the general idea.

I expect in 20 years undergraduate curricula evolve to cover NNs, and then those courses will have their salient bits adopted into mass market expository books/blog posts/code examples/etc. At that point someone like you will be saying something like you said about whatever the new hotness is.
