> Work gets done comfortable fast, but I wonder whether I should try and force myself to learn how to touch type properly.

In my opinion, no. It always amuses me when somebody wants to learn to
touch-type just to learn touch-type. If one really needs it (i.e. writes a lot
on a keyboard), they'll learn it soon enough just from the practice.

That said, you may grow with time using more of your fingers. It may even be
because you decided to try using those fingers that otherwise were idle
(maybe one at a time; that was my case). But forcing yourself to learn?
I would say it's not worth the hassle.

What actually matters to me is how fast I type and how accurate it is. You may
want to check your results in some on-line test. If you have typing speed
average or better, don't bother with specifically learning more.
I think it is extremely dangerous to believe email is a private conversation.

One should expect that any email they send will at some point be posted for public consumption and compose emails accordingly

Email is not a secure or private means of communications, the faster people learn and accept this the better off everyone will be
I dunno. It sounds like on the one hand, you're blaming police officers and departments for problems which have origin in corruption at a pay grade well above theirs, and on the other, you're defining (or would define, perhaps) any attempt by police forces to influence, rather than merely execute, policy, as stigmatic of a police state. Seems like a bit of a Catch-22 to me.
Dolphin development logs NEVER disappoint.
Stupid censorship. The only thing that should make "revenge porn" illegal is the copyright issue of the people who share this material not having the copyright.
Agreed. A major red flag is the omission of generics usage on their methods. Just using List or Collection without type parameters is just dangerous and very bad advice for a novice programmer seeking enlightenment for Java 8 programming.

When you start getting repetitive strain injuries you will wish you had made the effort to spread the strain over more fingers!

You could also buy an NodeMCU (http://nodemcu.com/index_en.html) if you don't like soldering. Personally without a formal electronics background or great soldering skills, I had not a lot of problems with setting up the ESP8266.

But I do agree that out of the box it's less "plug and play" as an Arduino.

Probably illegal, depending on the exact circumstances.

"a photograph or film is disclosed if it, or any data or other thing which is capable of being converted into it, is given, shown or made available to a person other than B."
Imagine an object with 10 Boolean property. In WebKit, you pay 8 bytes per property. That's 80 bytes, plus the 16 bytes for the object header, so 96 bytes total.

Now imagine the same object with a bitfield. That's one property (it'll happily hold 32 bits without hacks). So, with a header, that's 24 bytes.

That's a 4x savings. This will add up quick if you allocate the object frequently.

I've just replaced Postman with this. The UI seems much cleaner. The fact that I can run this as a command, instead of relying on an opened instance of Chrome, makes it very convenient for me. Also, it has a much better startup time. I don't miss any Postman feature, I only make quite basic POST and GET requests, and I suspect I'm not the only one. Great project!
I'm sorry but but society has already run the Gestapo, Mao Zedong, Stalin experiments, several times. I think we have all the data we need from those for the time being. Pardon me if I'd rather be part of the control group for this round.
I'm atheist and think that religion is outright harmful so I'm somewhat aware of people's expressed or apparent religious beliefs.

In my experience vocal Christians (as in: people mentioning Jesus, prayer or other church-related activities in person or on Twitter) are the minority, at least when it comes to JS conference speakers. So much so that they stick out as much as e.g. a Muslim wearing a hijab.

That said, even as a "militant" atheist I wouldn't mind having a Christian university as the conference venue or having Christian speakers -- as long as they don't try to use the talk/event as a means to force their ideologies on others. If anything, I'd find it interesting, because it's a place and a kind of person I would not actively seek out otherwise (i.e. outside the technical/conference context).

A few people I follow on Twitter or outspoken Christians or even Mormons. Yes, I find their religious gobbledegook annoying (but I'm sure they'd find my atheist rants equally unpleasant) but if they have enough interesting things to say otherwise, I'm willing to put up with that no matter how much it offends my sensibilities.

I'd hope this is the norm, but apparently "diversity" these days often means "no disagreeable persons" and being a white Christian heterosexual cis-man is borderline offensive in itself.
Hyper-vigilance is quite often an ongoing response to PTSD. It would not surprise me if a large number of people who get so offended over the use of language no matter tenuous or non-existent are in fact reliving previous issues.

Would it not be better that root cause are addressed; honest to goodness cases and their psychological fall out are dealt with so that whole conferences don't need to duck and run for cover every time a car backfires.

You should leave these kind of issues to the people without Asperger's to take care of. I understand that some people lack social awareness, but I don't understand people who refuse to acknowledge that they have no say on the matter because of, let's say, a certain kind of incompetence.

Air pollution is sending tiny magnetic particles into your brain
So you'd be okay with a(n ex) partner posting intimate pictures and/or videos of you online for the whole world to see? Without you saying it's okay? Your face totally visible? Many wouldn't. It can be life-ruining.
It's a form of domestic violence and absolutely should be prevented by things other than the threat of being sued under intellectual property law.
'Traffic fumes go to your head. Tiny specks of metal in exhaust gases seem to fly up our noses and travel into our brains, where they may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. Iron nanoparticles were already known to be present in the brain – but they were thought to come from the iron naturally found in our bodies, derived from food. Now a closer look at their structure suggests the particles mostly come from air pollution sources, like traffic fumes and coal burning. The findings are a smoking gun, says Barbara Maher of Lancaster University in the UK.'

I think that's unduly reductive. He seems instead to be saying that if you were abused in the 80s, you should just get over the thought of people watching footage of it today for kicks.

Which is an interesting viewpoint, to be sure. I wonder whether he'd say the same to an adult victim of rape whose abuse was videoed and passed around for other people to get off on. That's a pretty close parallel, but it never seems to turn up in discussions like these, and I wonder why that is.
>>> when it comes to google specifically, recruiters are supposed to actively go after "the best", so it shouldn't be a problem for that company in particular to go after the best female people.

The problem with your idea is that it's illegal and a law suit waiting to happen.

You simply can't hire someone because of their sex.

Depends, but likely no according to the law. [1]

From a quick reading, you can't just have it, you have to have consent to show it or a really solid reason why it had to be shown (such as in relation to another investigation, like this was the only photo that was proof)

So no, showing off someone's private pics you took if they did not consent that you could show them would be considered illegal under this. Basically the law codifies the transaction of intimate pictures

Relevent section:
(1)A person (“A”) commits an offence if—

(a)A discloses, or threatens to disclose, a photograph or film which shows, or appears to show, another person (“B”) in an intimate situation,

(b)by doing so, A intends to cause B fear, alarm or distress or A is reckless as to whether B will be caused fear, alarm or distress, and

(c)the photograph or film has not previously been disclosed to the public at large, or any section of the public, by B or with B’s consent.

(2)For the purposes of this section, a photograph or film is disclosed if it, or any data or other thing which is capable of being converted into it, is given, shown or made available to a person other than B.

(3)In proceedings for an offence under subsection (1), A has a defence if any of the following facts is established—

(a)B consented to the photograph or film being disclosed,

(b)A reasonably believed that B consented to the photograph or film being disclosed,

(c)A reasonably believed that disclosure of the photograph or film was necessary for the purposes of the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of crime, or

(d)A reasonably believed that disclosure of the photograph or film was in the public interest.

(4)For the purposes of subsection (3), consent to the photograph or film being disclosed may be—

(a)consent which is specific to the particular disclosure or (as the case may be) the particular threatened disclosure, or

(b)consent to disclosure generally where that consent covers the particular disclosure or (as the case may be) the particular threatened disclosure.

Ask HN: How do you value a website that is on the first page of Google?
I run a website that is ranked on the first page on Google for quite a valuable keyword.
When you search for this particular keyword, Google shows over 450 million results.

The website has about 5000+ unique visitors a month.

The actual website does not generate any money as I'm not selling any products/services or advertising.

I've now been approached by a company that is interested in buying the website due to its placing on Google.

How would you value such a website? I assume it is more a question of how much value the potential acquirer perceives rather than hard numbers.

Please share your thoughts.
Perhaps it could run facial analysis, find the social media accounts of the person and check the messages. Cross reference with messages of friend and old boyfriends mentioned on e.g. FB relationship status. Run some sentiment analysis towards possible SO's to see if there are bad intentions involved.

I am joking, of course.

>"Watching them causes no additional harm." //

If I knew of images of me being raped as a child it would be a severe harm for me, albeit non-physical, to know that others were even now masturbating watching my defilement. Indeed I'd find it disturbing if someone were doing that to my image now, no matter if that image were pornographic or not.

Now of course you may not share the same feelings as me, but thankfully such laws do protect others who do share those feelings and are in a position to be harmed in this way.

Even far lesser cases of stigmatisation can be harmful, an image of one being non-sexually humiliated can cause genuine mental harm long after the initial production of that image.

Is there nothing in your past that you wouldn't mind people seeing a picture of now? I got shit on by a swift [bird] the other day, it didn't bother me but I wouldn't want the image of me covered in bird-shit to be published in the paper for people to laugh at; personally I wouldn't be too bothered but it would certainly be a source of displeasure. I think we'll agree that's at the de minimis end of the scale of 'images that one might find humiliating'.

FWIW lack of empathy for the suffering of others, as this appears to be, is an element of sociopathy.
New technology enables new crimes, which in turn inspire new laws? Of course that's tech news.

(Besides which, Hacker News is not just for tech news. Read the guidelines.)
There is a reason: by pretending to be offended by a 'name' the person pretending to be offended got to raise their own stature. It's the same mechanism as some nobody writing an open letter to a famous person.

Apparently the offense doesn't even have to be real for it to have the same effect. Just like there isn't any bad publicity there seems to be no 'bad' offense because true or false the goal for the person claiming to be offended will be achieved, no matter what damage will be done to the reputations of others.

Note that it is the organizer of the conference stepping down (mostly symbolic, this conference has no legitimacy any more anyway), there is no fall-out for the person that seems to have orchestrated the whole thing.

Stupid power games.

I wouldn't send intimate pictures to anyone in the first place, because that goes against what I find moral. I respect others' choice to engage in these things, but the last thing we need is more laws that can get people locked up for posting pictures online, when there was already a perfectly usable law in place (copyright).

I've seen folks type reasonably fast without knowing touch typing. Then again, I've always considered myself lucky that I learned this back in the late 80's in school. To me the main benefit is that I can usually type without looking at the keyboard most of the time. I'm guessing more than half of my keyboard glances now are finding things that are different on the Norwegian keyboard than was on American ones, but most folks aren't going to have that issue. I actually type slower if i'm using one hand, a few fingers, or if I'm looking at the keybaord.

As far as should you? Well, really personal preference. After some time, it might improve your speed or comfort, but then again, might not.

If you want to give it a try, go ahead and do it. I'd suggest games to learn - they may be a little silly, but they do the job with less frustration. Plus once you get the muscle memory set, there isn't nearly as much frustration. If you want to learn to not look, tape a piece of paper to the top of the keyboard so it covers your hands.
In the UK (and most of the EU for that matter) disclosing private information to a third party without permission is a tort; i.e. it is a form of injury to the first party, and the first party can approach the courts to seek redress. In some circumstances it can also be a criminal offence.
It's not "violence". Posting pictures isn't violence.
Even the "worst" neighborhoods are calm in Stockholm. It's nothing compared to, say, Paris or Brussels. Living in the suburb, you're far more likely to get hurt by boredom than anything else. A lot of people in Stockholm (like in other cities) are bitter of how things have developed in recent years with the financial crisis, youth unemployment and housing situation while at the same time many people have been profited of real estate and consulting. Then they extrapolate this to mean that everyone is doing badly and the country is "going down the drain". I put no judgement in that it's just not particularly relevant for you. Your personal situation is going to overshadow the other factors.

The $100k USD figure is low, it's more like 10x that for a family sized house or apartment in or close to the city. People don't really buy apartments so much as rent them from the bank.
You don't need an audit, but you still fall under the scope of PCI-DSS and need to fill out the Self-Assessment Questionnaire "SAQ A"
Just from the examples on this list, it sounds like the only winning move is not to play.

I have a handful of sites running ASP.NET 4.5. Migrating them would cost an unknown amount of time and require substantial rewriting of major components (such as all data access). It might not even be physically possible to do, given dependencies on libraries that are still 4.5 only.

It sounds like it would also kill our build process dead (adding another major rewrite to the tally). And of course, it would leave us reliant (correct me if I'm wrong here) on a lighter weight version of VS.NET so we'd roll back the clock about 10 years on ReSharper-like goodness.

As reward for this, migrating over to Core would gain me roughly $0 in business value.

The alternate course is to stay with 4.5 for as long as possible, eventually moving across when Microsoft decide to VB6 it.

Sounds like a plan.
We also need to consider left handed people are equally and fairly represented, for too long the privileged and dominating right handies have over-run these conferences.

Every time I see a class like ClassUtils I remember that OO is only good for half of the programs we have to write (1). Problem is, it's a half of each source file. On the other side, OO is a very convenient abstraction for the other half.

(1) I'm sure there are more gracious ways to do that, but maybe not in a single line. That's why we keep seeing classes whose only purpose is to be bags of random methods.
