But this is now a programming discussion, not a computation discussion. Also, I don't think it's right to declare things "useful" only if they're useful to the particular problems you're trying to solve.

BTW, any logical formalism forces you to pay attention to meaning; choosing to encode the logic in types has advantages and disadvantages, but it is not at all the only way to logically describe a program.
Could they not have mocked the payload?

> Pop quiz: which is the character code for a word character, \w or \W?

From memory, \w. Conceptually, this is because in regular expressions, capitalization indicates negation. \w matches word characters, \W matches non-word characters, \d matches digits, \D matches non-digits, \s matches whitespace, \S matches non-whitespace.

Having a conceptual understanding helps to be able to extrapolate more information with less memorization.

I don't mean this as a refutation of your overall point; I think your point is correct, that using cheat sheets allows you to save mental bandwidth. I just think this wasn't a great example.
I agree. Removing functionality that users rely on is not helping them make their case. They should at the very least grandfather in existing pages and just not allow new ones to be made.
I find that typing things out by hand organizes my brain to focusing on one thing at a time. If I read over a code snippet, I tend to sort of gloss over it; typing it out slows down the thought process a bit so that I can focus on some of the nuance.

SEEKING WORK Canada, Remote

I'm a data scientist with more than 10 years experience in machine learning and analytics.
I focus on thorny problems for business, the sort that IF they can be solved will move the needle in real ways. Someone else may have tackled the problem and failed, or it just looks too complex to even start. If you want to get in touch my email is in my profile.

Some of the types of things I've done in the past:

- Scored accounts for collections agencies. Improving collections by over 30%.

- Built preventative fleet maintenance models, decreasing maintenance costs by 23%.

- Built an application to optimally place physical sensors for a military security application.

Currently freelancing to bootstrapping a business.

Technical skills include: Deep learning, Machine learning, Python, Haskell, Mathematica, SQL, Tensorflow, Spark, GPGPU, GIS, Big data, AWS, Devops, Agile/CI/CD, Git/HG, Postgres, Linux and others.
I think Win3.x was relatively poor in all of those. This reminds me that the OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics.
It got hit by a spam filter. Sorry about that; those are tuned more aggressively for new accounts. We've marked your account legit so it won't happen again, and restored your most recent comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12406506) as the one you probably want in this thread. If you need anything else, please email hn@ycombinator.com. These threads get so top-heavy with comments that it's better not to add procedural discussion here.
Nice. I'm forever looking for any viable alternative to QuickBooks. I've even thought about writing my own invoicing application.

Looks great, but I personally don't like the collaboration tools mashed into the dash board. It looks cluttered. It also wasn't clear what information the client's would see. If they saw dollar amounts, it's a deal killer-- I work with too many clients and am assigned to work with other non-management employees.

Also, for reports -- I only saw a graph. I need to see who's behind and take action to get paid, and follow up with phone calls, emails, and letters.

I'd also like to see the ability to print invoices to mail them to clients. Some clients are overwhelmed with email, but a paper invoice gets paid.

My complaints with most projects in this genre I've evaluated -- they seem to be written by freelancers who've never had bad clients, never had to chase people down for payment, or never been in a relationship that turns sour.

Work for one bad client, and it will change you, and how you do business.
New Zealand hit by major 7.1 earthquake
I agree the systems part is the hard part. The software to monitor and control thousands to millions of automated cars.

Ford has a large learning curve in order to figure out how to do that. It will take a very different workforce to build and manage a software system of that scale.

Google and Uber have been managing a system like that from the beginning, it is in their DNA.

I could see Ford providing the hardware, while a different company deploys and manages the customer facing operation. Demoting Ford to a vendor doesn't sound like such a good thing for Ford though.

It's irrational to argue that you would pull out of a merger because a 3rd party's rocket failure delayed a launch. Contracts almost invariably include escape clauses to avoid liability for matters that are outside the control of the parties. If the launch was already scheduled at the time of the merger agreement (which seems likely, a rocket launch is not the sort of thing you arrange at the last minute) then Beijing Xinwei would be expected to factor the risks into its pricing calculations.

In my opinion, the author's goal was to make a blog post. So he searched around for something like an original thought... and he found a glimmer (merely) of a thought: that hand-typing helps you READ content better than copy&pasting does.

It's more of an observation, actually... An independently repeatable one, sure... :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've bound services to 0.0.0.0 just to avoid the trivial annoyance of checking an IP.
Out of curiosity, what data do you have in your development databases that this becomes such a grave concern? I mean I'm all for security and love to see how creative people can get but we are talking about dev environments and not some part of the infrastructure (automated test machines, production, etc).
New York City - Moat

Moat is an adtech startup with products in two core areas:

1) Analytics

Moat Analytics measures content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. Most new ad deals require third party measurement and for many of the top brands and websites, Moat's metrics are the go-to. We were one of the first companies to begin measuring ad viewability and we helped make these metrics a standard in the online ad industry. We handle over 19 billion impressions a day and tackle large scalability problems every day.

2) Search

Moat Search tells you who's advertising where online. We give advertisers, publishers and other adtech companies an overview of the entire online ad ecosystem (kind of like the Bloomberg of the ad world). Our customers can see their competitors' ad campaigns, find prospects by seeing the clients of similar companies or see trends in the industry before anyone else. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.

We recently raised $50M and we're still growing very quickly:

Both technical and non-technical openings can be found at moat.com/jobs

Your legal and technical claims sound highly questionable to me. Satellite operators are not responsible for the successful operation of the launch vehicle, and one would expect their contractual arrangements to reflect that. That would be like firing someone because their commuter train derailed and they were late to work as a result.
I think you can technically disable PE and PG in CR0 at the same time and jump directly to real mode.
50 Most Common Interview Questions in HR Round
Where else can you go to have a difficult question answered? But what's the alternative?

Gamification encourages many people to participate, free sites with ads mean more people participate too because paying sucks (though the ads on SE are very non-intrusive I find), allowing the (vocal) community to drive the direction of the site encourages a certain type of participation (because a site which heads in a direction the community doesn't support dies). All of these things generally lead to more questions being answered.

What would the ideal site be? If the ideal site is not perfect out of the box then how to you improve it without a meta-like structure? How do you support quality content which allows people to be satisfied with the sites content while having moderation that satisfies appropriate participation? Hacker News has moderators, so does Reddit, people complain about them all the time (more so on Reddit). What can we do to be better here?

Not to say you have the answers but these are difficult questions and I think SO gets it more right than the rest.

This was a major part of a charitable initiative to bring free internet access to Africa.. That's a lot of lost opportunity for business, education, health care..

From a technical perspective, the laser-based communications network being developed by FB for Africa is super cool. I'm sad to see this delayed. Even though it doesn't affect me directly, it hits my inner nerd right in the feels.

Sorry for late reply but I am genuinely curious on how you think PHP is a web framework? At best you can say it has routing built in, but no one even uses just php files as they are for "routing" anymore. How else is it a web framework? Especially over other scripting languages like Ruby that have a strong focus on web dev, but are just languages?
It seems you’re affiliated with Sucuri, I wonder why you don’t include that in your profile?
There's actually an alternate view of the dashboard if you don't like the current one. It's hard to see in the demo (I need to work on that), but I can show you if you email me.

It's pretty easy to see whose behind, but I agree, it can be improved. One thing I really want to add for myself is a daily email from the system giving me a list of late invoices, tasks due that day, etc.

Invoices can be downloaded as PDF and then mailed. You can download them or the client can.

Also, the demo let's you log in as a client. Just use the options in the bottom right corner. Every client can see everything about their projects, including dollar amounts. Obviously any info related to another client's account can only be seen by admins.

Appcues (https://www.appcues.com) | Support Engineer | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Full-time

At Appcues, we’re building a team of driven, focused, smart women and men who want to make a meaningful impact growing a business.

Our customer base has doubled over the last few months, so we’re looking for our first Support Engineer to provide our customers with reliable, personal assistance and encourage them to use Appcues to its full potential… and then some.

To us, support isn’t just an operational nuisance required of any growing business. Rather, it’s an engine of growth: an opportunity to cultivate relationships, delight our customers, and get critical feedback to help our product mature. Each of our 15 teammates contributes to customer support, and we take pride in doing it well.

As the leader of our support strategy, you will work at the intersection of our customers’ teams and our engineering and customer success teams. You will be responsible for solving complex customer issues with excellent email/chat/phone support, writing delightful documentation, informing the team of recurring issues, and serving as a domain expert for how Appcues works with various web technologies our customers use.

You will collaborate directly with our users and our 6 incredibly talented engineers—veterans from companies like HubSpot, PayPal, Bose and MIT Media Lab—to ship product that solves real problems.

They could have at least tried.
This line of reasoning is itself a fallacy. http://www.fallacyfiles.org/fallfall.html
> So it's now GPL-but-not-really.

No, it's GPL. It's a perfectly reasonable, and not uncommon, strategy to use legal instruments for protective or signalling reasons but not as an offensive weapon.

Patents are a similar example. They're often held defensively and for cultural signalling. When they're pursued aggressively, it's generally considered trolling.

And yeah, it's a sweet deal. TBH I think that's the point - a lot of people get a sweet deal, including corporations. Where the argument seems to lie is how much should we care about free loaders if everyone's getting some candy.
Just wanted to say I had a really positive experience as a Trussle customer recently :)

I once requested sample data to work against while triaging/fixing a production issue and was given an unredacted copy of the production database. Lots of customer names/addresses/phone numbers/emails in there. I nuked it from orbit when I was done.
People work in development with copies of production databases all the time..

They absolutely should not, but I've seen it at companies I've worked at, at clients, and I'll admit I've done it at least a few times myself over the years.
