I just turned 40, and I do feel fortunate that I look young. But then I was also recently hired, by a 70 year old who is still himself programming for hire, to make some quirky database code work .

Perhaps this is an unpopular sentiment, but after 33 years of programming I have been observing more and more how many elements of a supposedly hyper-rational field function like religious beliefs or memes. I suspect that one reason people prefer working with young programmers is -- sometimes -- that they don't want push back on the beliefs that are underpinning their enterprises. To take a few simple examples, people with a lot at stake don't necessarily want to be told that something will probably take 3x longer than they think. Or that there are some philosophical issues at play in their strategy.

A truth that can hurt: people generally only consult nerds when they believe they have no other choice. To many people this means they only want programmers for "code monkey" style coding, i.e. I think there may actually be preference for inexperience in the wider world.

I'm sure age will take it's toll eventually, but in my case there is no doubt in my mind I write better code now than, say, 10 or 15 years ago.

Fortunately, there's a solution: freelance and work for people without these biases. It seems like there is no shortage once you leave groupthink environments behind.
OK. I thought you meant that a non-constructive proof existed that there is such a CFG. That's how I interpreted "Finally, since PEG can be parsed in linear time, there must also be some CFG which cannot be recognized by any PEG". But I see that on cstheory you wrote instead (being more precise?) "most probably ... PEG does not contain CFG".
IYHO as a web developer!
I don't know why this is buried, it is absolutely true. What windows users need are some sort of sandbox / container / jail where registry / file system / system calls are isolated. Then you could package up a program into one file and delete it to uninstall it like one file. This could have been done decades ago and now microsoft is banking off of the fact that they never did.
The question here is was what was written in that email offensive and not to be written in the workplace...
Or maybe the teacher is evaluating the quality of his side-project language for teaching and is offering free programming education to students in order to evaluate it.

Honestly, I don't think there are many jobs out there hiring for Mu programmers, but I ALSO don't think that fact makes learning in Mu a bad idea, and I CERTAINLY don't have any objection to what the teacher is doing!
PM2 V2, Codename Bradbury, has been released

It' not open source, but I'll try to sell the idea to our CTO. :)

Just to give you more details about its inner workings, this function is written in JavaScript that gets called when certain events come from GitHub ('pull_request', 'status', and 'push'), and uses kubectl to modify the corresponding deployments depending on the event.

Nothing fancy there, trust me.

Adding a USB-to-3.5mm audio interface is $10. "Those people" spending several grand on a new laptop can make their audio-out cable 5" longer.

Apple still cares about them, obviously, and will happily sell them computers, which they will happily still buy.
You forgot the precision of language usage and precision and clarity of definitions, which has been the foundation of math - the way to deal with meaningful abstractions, and then so called computer science, where naming, clarity and reduced to the essence (to an optimum) abstractions (ADTs) are the most important aspects.

Classification (ontology) and labeling of a human language gives us meaningful type systems (Java has nothing to do with it). Logic gave us control structures and ultimately algorithms.

The philosophy of science and epistemology gave us the absolute necessity of tests and reality checks (otherwise one ends up with Hegelian abstract nonsense or what we call theoretical physics).

And metaphysics is just nonsense for weak minded to boost their self-esteem, which gave us "everything must be Object Oriented, statically typed, absurdly verbose" crap.
Is there USB3-FireWire yet?
Optical just feels like a cleaner interface. USB requires drivers, and introduces timing and electrical interference issues.

USB also feels like overkill for an audio interface. It allows transfer of data in both directions, and introduces security risks if you don't fully trust the DAC you are connecting to, or worse still if the DAC is connected to a network/the Internet.

I'm not suggesting for a moment there is any audible difference between the two, but optical audio has always struck me as a 'cleaner' way to output digital audio.

I would be extremely annoyed if it were removed from the MacBook Pro.
Renters are protected by various laws and regulations. These have been arrived at over many years to protect landlords and tenants to varying degrees. Airbnb properties side step laws governing hotels and laws governing rentals.

And you can argue all you like from libertarian points of view about regulatory capture but Canada is pretty comfortable with consumer protection laws. I think the results are fairly easy to anticipate.
So are most for profit open source based companies. Redhat development is probably solely based on profit to.

I think that people who have domain expertise about classified information are different from people claiming "secret knowledge." He overstates his case in some circumstances, and I think that there were positive effects of the publicization of some of of the Snowden data, but it's also tough to dispute, I think, that his releases also harmed the United States. I'm happy to expand on this if you need.

For Web applications, there's also the Wordpress model, where you publish the source code, but make money providing hosting. Ghost and Sentry are other products that do that.

There are some desktop apps where the developers do a similar thing and provide source code and perhaps unsupported installers, but you can pay for supported binaries through the Apple App Store. Collabora are trying to monetize some of their LibreOffice work that way:

Rape goes both ways. Men and women can get raped.
Someone telling rape jokes can be disgusting and inappropriate, but it will stay as a joke.

Agree, a workplace is not a good place to tell these. In fact there might not be a good place for it.

Also, if we go further down the rabbit hole and say that rape jokes promote rape, then we can start saying that video games promote violence, etc...

My concern is to have someone getting fired or prosecuted for a joke. Getting his career broken because of a stupid joke.

You can feel disgusted or even violated, but with the counter actions you can do more damage to the other person compared to the one you received.
I like that they are selling the fact they have good ide support.
That's really weird. At that point who are you trying to convince that you're a vegetarian? These are people who apparently aren't even trying to be vegetarian. I can understand people who'd claim to have a preference to not eating meat, but two-thirds in the last day is ridicules.

I where a vegetarian for 12 year, without having any real reason, other than I felt like it. Even at my most drunk I could always remember that I didn't eat meat.

Two-thirds... damn that's stupid. "I really want to be a vegetarian, because fluffy cows, but OMG cheese burger". Some people are weird.
I could believe it, but I don't think it's fully representative.

I was about to call you on this but checking the store it seems you're right, they're reselling another adapter, not an apple branded.

However, I do disagree on the quality of third party adapters; there are many fine ones out there, and the cheap mini-dispay to HDMI I bought last time I was in the US works picture perfect. I think it was PNY but not at home so don't remember.

Not to say all are good, but there are quite a few good adapters.

Guardtime is set of tooling around a FIPS 140 timestamping appliance. Systems on the network submit hashes of their logs to the time stamping. Assuming the appliance remains secure, you can go back in the event of compromise and prove that your logs are unaltered up to a certain point.

It's amazing that they seem to have built a $50 -$100 million dollar business here.
To be fair, there are a lot of areas of Vancouver holding on to suburbanity far longer than they should. When you have rail transit stops surrounded by low-density bungalows, you can tell NIMBYism is winning.

Looking to start or join a support group of CTOs and engineering VPs in Chicago
I'm an engineering VP at a small (50ish) company in Chicago. I've been in my role for a little over 2 years and before then, I grew up writing software from the age of 7. I started my first programming job at 16 and for nearly 20 years I was a sole contributing developer. Just before my current role, I was a lead developer and although I had a few folks that I was managing, I was more of a sole contributor than a manager/director/etc.

Now that I've been in my role for a little while I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. Having said that, I'm at a point where I really feel the need to be part of a larger (but not too large) group of CTOs and engineering VPs. This is my very first job where my direct boss (who oversees the entire company) is completely non-technical. For the last 6 - 9 months or so, I've had some serious doubts with "agile" (or at least how WE do agile) and am looking to connect with other technology leaders on better ways to do software development from an organizational and process standpoint. Of course I've been doing a lot of reading on this topic but we all know that reading just isn't the same as talking to someone.

I'm looking to talk to other CTOs & engineering VPs who I can learn from & even teach a few lessons I've learned. I'm looking for people who are still coding & love coding, but still have to devote most of their time at work on managing & directing. And it's important to me (at least for now) that I'm able to meet in person. I work in the loop in Chicago--right near Willis Tower.

If you're interested in connecting with me, please comment on this post or email me (included in my Hacker News profile).

(FWIW - I posted something very similar to this a little over 4 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11643390). I got some people who were interested and exchanged emails with several people; however, it's resulted in only a single face-to-face meeting)
I'll admit that I hadn't heard so much about MobX yet. Will re-evaluate when I have time.

What hypocrisy? Many vegans object to killing animals but not the use of remains of already dead ones.

Use of isinglass requires killing new fish to extract their swim bladders. Meanwhile, nobody is killing animals to turn them into oil.

Besides, it'd only be hypocrisy if they're judging others. Simply saying "I'd like my beer free from fish bladders" isn't, even if you think the reason is ridiculous.
You are allowed to criticize language usage. Others are allowed to point out that you do so in a rather silly fashion.

English, like almost any natural language, is rich in metaphor. If that's not your cup of tea, fine. But it's probably worth learning to roll with the punches, just the same. Is this really the hill you want to die on?

Glad to see both etcd and consul support changing multiple keys atomically which I think is a critical feature.

Has someone recently compared the two in production?

Both projects have made some bigger changes in their Raft implementation since the last Jepsen test. I'd love for Kyle to re-do the test and also take into account the transaction feature.

Historically, PHK was a very vocal criticizer of SPDY and HTTP/2: http://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/http20.html

Of course he relented and implemented SPDY and HTTP/2 anyway.

But all the same I can't help but feel that his original criticsm still stands, and what we need is a rethink of e.g. cookies.
My use case is similar, and I'm bullish on USB-C improving this mess.

At your desk, you just need a dock. Everything you currently connect to your laptop can be connected to that dock, and the cables hidden away, then all you need to connect to your laptop is a single USB cable.

Away from your desk, why is the dongle for your keyboard and mouse a concern? Most dongles are tiny, and can be left plugged in permanently.
It'd seem that you have an implicit criteria for what constitutes doing philosophy. What do you mean exactly? In school you read the philosophy of others and write papers to try and add something to the arguments. Are you thinking more the old school systems guys like Liebniz, Spinoza, Descartes, etc who did other jobs and werent academically affiliated?
The audio recording hasn't been bad for long time, though with BT it really is a case of you get what you pay for. I had a fairly nice BT headset from Jabra back from about 2009, and it sounded good for playback and for talking to people on skype/vent/game chats. My cheapo chinese knockoff headset I bought for running has a horrible mic (but good audio)

I'm not saying it's perfect and everyone should immediately love it, but wireless audio is good enough for most people right now. The fact that I have the option of getting a $10 pair of BT headphones for running is pretty cool, and it's a purchase I do not regret in the slightest - they've survived Russian winters, so they're good enough in my book.
good guys cinemark, they had to defend it and knew that the only reason it wasnt settled was because of one plaintiff, so they have done right by the majority of the defendants in this case.

It's interesting how the government is working on different tax schemes to try to fix the housing problem. But the people that are buying these houses from overseas have the money, so it's not going to make a difference.

But locally it's a problem. There are lots of non-Canadians living there and the purchase tax is a real problem for them, it adds to the cost of really overinflated homes.

My plan is to start a business call "Sim-Live", I'll make your house looked lived in for a small fee every month. Lights on, people in an out, small party every other month, trash out to be picked up, Amazon boxes, mail, etc.
Creon wasn't a run-of-the-mill tyrant -- he was a respected monarch who put the good of the city over moral/religious concerns.

His dispute with Antigone is about law vs personal/religious ethics, not about him being a capricious tyrant (besides in the end he relents). Her brother was a traitor.
How many hundreds of npm dependencies in the default install?

Is Leftpad included?
Sort of. They had a system where a single lever would release bombs, then level and recover. Their system would not engage after the pilot passed out, rather engaging the system would make the pilot pass out. This allowed them to "safely" dive bomb at 90-degree angle, making them much more accurate than any other dive bomber from the period.

The downsides were that the automatic recovery was very-high-g, almost guaranteed to make the pilot pass out, and flying slowly with the pilot passed out in a very predictable pattern over enemy troops was not very good for you, especially after the enemies figured out the recovery pattern.
What does that have to do with their racketeering?
We have a similar tax in Paris, France.
Tips: it doesn't work (in current design).
Plenty of room for improvement, either around the full renting subject (ex: lowering barriers to set up a new contract between landlord and renter, to remove some laws which overprotect some renters) or around this particular subject (decreasing time before the tax, increase tax, increase control or fine, or even more violent solution (huge fine, jail, etc))
Note that I don't know what would be the most efficient
> why is there an assumption that what you study at university has to be in any way related to the job market?

Because, like it or not, the majority of people's education is the means to obtain a job in a related field. People don't go tens of thousands of dollars into debt for some l'art pour l'art interest development; they do it because they expect the benefit from the degree (i.e., as a ticket into the job market in a field related to the degree) to outweigh the cost.

"As academics and researchers of this country, we will not be a party to this crime!

The Turkish state has effectively condemned its citizens in Sur, Silvan, Nusaybin, Cizre, Silopi, and many other towns and neighborhoods in the Kurdish provinces to hunger through its use of curfews that have been ongoing for weeks. It has attacked these settlements with heavy weapons and equipment that would only be mobilized in wartime. As a result, the right to life, liberty, and security, and in particular the prohibition of torture and ill-treatment protected by the constitution and international conventions have been violated.

This deliberate and planned massacre is in serious violation of Turkey’s own laws and international treaties to which Turkey is a party. These actions are in serious violation of international law.

We demand the state to abandon its deliberate massacre and deportation of Kurdish and other peoples in the region. We also demand the state to lift the curfew, punish those who are responsible for human rights violations, and compensate those citizens who have experienced material and psychological damage. For this purpose we demand that independent national and international observers to be given access to the region and that they be allowed to monitor and report on the incidents.

We demand the government to prepare the conditions for negotiations and create a road map that would lead to a lasting peace which includes the demands of the Kurdish political movement. We demand inclusion of independent observers from broad sections of society in these negotiations. We also declare our willingness to volunteer as observers. We oppose suppression of any kind of the opposition.

We, as academics and researchers working on and/or in Turkey, declare that we will not be a party to this massacre by remaining silent and demand an immediate end to the violence perpetrated by the state. We will continue advocacy with political parties, the parliament, and international public opinion until our demands are met."
This was one of the other question that came to me while reading the article. It says that it will be arduino compatible, and that it can replace ARM M0, or at least that's the idea. Do you think that's possible?. I mean, for that to happen you need the big players in the industry interested in this proyect, but it seems to be an educational microcontroller.
Arguably, the main driver of the problem is foreign purchase of investment properties which aren't rented. Speculation drives this further, as lots of people have made high returns on a market that 'can only go up'.

Another point that is not often raised is the crazy increases are mainly in detached houses. Condos and attached properties have increased a lot, but not nearly as frothy as detached houses. Suggests the type of purchase that is driving the increases.

This and the article mentioned elsewhere (http://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore-news/what-happens-when-5-st...) are far more accurate representations of what happens - kids may moan a bit but then they adapt.

The original article is just scaremongering, HN shouldn't be pandering to this kind of clickbait.
It's always good to see new stuff coming out for Varnish. Do these changes warrant a major jump in release numbers especially when HTTP/2 support (biggest feature) is experimental?
