I think that someone coming to the field cold is going to be sucked into the vortex of enthusiasm surrounding one or more frameworks and, eventually either become a die-hard fan of some specific stack or jaded by the phenomenon.

I'm a member of the second group since, like 1995.

Right now we're on the nth cycle of lemming like enthusiasm which is currently favoring React because it just tried Angular two years ago and writing a new site with React sounds a whole lot more awesome than fixing the incomprehensible pile of crap you wrote in Angular which, guess what, seemed like a great idea at the time because of the mess you made with jquery UI.
Me too - I was so excited at first..
I would like to encourage you to rename it the "Cheap Fucking Bastard Plan" because discomfort amongst the corporate set is good for America.
It'll outperform a low-end PC on really simple and dumb benchmarks. But in the real world, routers should usually be doing active queue management and often traffic shaping. Good luck getting the hardware offloads to do any intelligent packet processing like that.
Tell HN: An idea to fix patents
Pieter Hintjen's passing made me really sad and made me reflect on patents. I'm a professional scientist and a tiny part of my job is to file patents. I find this part to not be that great. If people from FSF or some other organized community see this post .. I have an idea.

What if we had an organization called OpenInnovationForAll or something .. as a scientist, I'd be happy to take a 5% pay cut if my patents would be assigned to this org. That's my employment agreement. Part of this is that a company that is in the org won't sue other members of the org over patents. There are no dues for this org except scientists who sign up for this voluntarily take a x% pay cut. This would let the org gather a hefty number of patents that are protected. A founding philosophy is that the org should not use patents as a weapon against others. In honour of Pieter .. by Eric Cartman :)
You'd miss out on all the goodies of version control like seeing what has changed. Ideally, version control for musicians would have the ability to show "change panning of guitar a to 0.3 and volume to 0.1" similarly to a code diff. Otherwise all you've got is just a bunch of backups, possibly with semi-informative commit messages if you really put a lot of effort into it.

Touche. Perhaps "Cheap Side Project Plan" would work. Most upper managers wouldn't want their project(s) to be considered mere side projects...

4chan is a phenomenon. It's the complete antithesis to centralized, regulated public forums like Facebook that demand all information about your identity and keep permanent records on everything you've ever said and done. It's the last vestige of pre-"Web 2.0". While there have been countless horrors that have arisen from 4chan, part of me would be sad to see it go. Most of the Internet culture of the last decade has been defined by 4chan.

Would a switch to a distributed model of hosting have any chance of working? Chan@Home? I'd imagine the latency would be a lot higher, and it'd probably be ever harder to moderate than it is now.
Just one of the many ways that modern Javascript baffles me - people pretend the client and server are equivalent.
the reactrb ruby-dsl is built on top of React.js. Its not a huge piece of code (no bigger than many many other ruby gems people rely on, on a daily basis.)
I do have high CPU utilization tasks, like large Haskell builds, Tensoflow, etc. I agree that the cheap physical server costs are surprising, given facility and power costs.
"I think one reason why React is so popular is that it forced you into an object oriented approach"

And yet React's claim to fame is that it popularized techniques other than OOP, which was plaguing the JS world up until recently.
It makes sense to me. The previous generations had pages that had more rendering on the server and "forms." Now, it's single page applications hitting REST end points.

So before, you had complex models, tightly bound back-end controllers, sending data to a view.

Now, you have simpler APIs on the server, you arrange and manage the data in the browser, getting more data as needed.

I Googled the quotes looking for a source to this too (of course before scrolling slightly and seeing this comment). I wish I could read more!
Lots of stuff: Issue tracker, action tracker, scheduler, budgeting tools.

Processes like:

establishing formal communication methods with others in the company - document your plans and decide who needs to read them. Review each item of work completed via a report.

Monitoring the performances of yourself and others objectively. Peer review is crap.

Risk management methods. You have to risk assess as part of planning. Then you monitor whether the risk has eventuated throughout execution of plan.

Quality control processes. Your work must improve stuff. What is the measure of improvement?
Lets say they will. How is conquering a far off enemy worth it economically? It would be easier from a resource, political, technical, and moral perspective to build out large solar arrays or build more nuclear plants (or more fantastically, build out a Dyson sphere) than a space war. We're not post-scarcity, nor even close to it, but we certainly have better options than mindless destruction for energy. Now imagine us 5,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 years from now. Why would we fly to some far off planet to murder everyone for their resources? The universe is teeming with energy and resources. Its simpler and more ethical to just tap local-ish uninhabited resources.

Arguably, if your species is mind-mindbogglingly stupid enough to declare war constantly and against the basic rules of game-theory then I doubt your society will survive the nuclear weapons stage anyway and won't ever be in the stars. The nice thing about the Drake equation is that it suggests that Klingon-esque societies don't make it to the space-faring stage, which is nice.

Any stats on applicant apply date relative to the deadline and the acceptance rate?

I've heard that earlier applications give more time for alums (who review submissions) to check out the demos. On the flip side, spending more time on polishing the application could help as well.
Radiation and chemo therapies are one of the most horrific things one can endure.

Depending on the type of cancer, you can go in a few weeks, months, or fight the battle for years.

Even if you endure and persist, which gets progressively easier for a lot of cancers thanks to more advanced therapies, you have to fear recurrence.

I'm not at all opposed to ending one s own life if done without severe psychological issues and done thoughtfully after plenty consideration.

Of course, if you regulate assisted suicide, as some countries in Europe have done, it leads down a very slippery slope. Who makes the decision on whether you are allowed to end your own life?

Most current religions frown upon suicide as a sin. Life is god given and not yours to decide upon (Islam, Christianity). Or suicide is viewed as an unjustified interference in the natural order (Hinduism). And therefore most of our societies reject it.

Admittedly, most suicides that are not connected to terminal illness manifest due to psychological / neurological illness and despair that might be cured or managed with proper therapy and medication, making a return to a happy life possible.

It's a fascinating and very multi-facetted issue to think about.
Animated guide to the service worker lifecycle
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" applies here. I would definitely want a camera if I was an officer, and I definitely don't want a (gov't always-on) camera if I'm a civilian.
We were using a 'car share' program for the last couple of years, we decided to get a car instead and ditch the program.

My biggest problem was that the cars always had 1/4 of a tank of gas, so I was always filling the tank and using 30 minutes to find a station and fill the tank. Whenever I needed a car I needed to plan ahead significantly. Also, there is a stop loss incentive, so you get stressed about having to add extra hours to the car. We found if we are using the car more than 2 times a month its better to own a car.

Also, I hate the concept of calling it 'sharing' there is no sharing here, its a short term rental, all-be-it more convenient than traditional rentals.
Why Apple Replaced Objective-C with Swift
Also known as GPGPU.
Good point. Even though your ISP/DNS provider can see this too (including HTTPS connections) it's prudent to limit data leakage as much as possible. Perhaps the lookup could require a single click (only needed when you are unsure of the owner).
I wrote a driver for it on an 8-bit chip that had 16kB of code space and 2kB of RAM. It was ugly, and it could only hold two sectors at a time in memory (if I recall, one from the FAT and one from the current file). Despite it being ugly... it worked! Best of luck getting pretty much any other standard filesystem running in that.
Sass is awesome, and one of the few pieces of the 'compilation toolchain hell' I _don't_ hate.

But you ideally shouldn't have your CSS build product in the repo if you're using SASS. That would avoid the confusion of editing the wrong file (the compiled output artifact, which ought not to be in the repo).
That depends on how thick you want your cover to be.
It only doubles the car miles if there's nobody nearby to pick up. That would mean that most people are headed in a similar direction (e.g. all from suburbs towards city). But if all head in the same direction, the lane for return traffic has virtually no humans, and car-miles on it don't matter.

So either the traffic patterns allow pickup to be optimized to do much better than doubling the car-miles, or traffic patterns are so that it doesn't matter.

(of course that's overly simplistic, but I don't see how it's a less valid simplification than yours)
I like the setup and the image recognition with OpenCV that is explained near the bottom of the article. But the statistical analysis is not very clear and perhaps it's not the best method. (I think it's not a good idea to use the average to analyze the fairness of the dice, but the explanation is not very clear.)
As somebody who has been involved in the operation of various things in the "shady back alleys" category, I can assure you that they do not have an established place on the internet anymore. It's a constant battle of keeping things online, with pretty much every service provider involved looking for a way to kick you out. You may not see this as an end user, but it is exceedingly difficult to host something that goes outside of the norm.

The idea that the internet is a city might have been true 10 years ago, but it is definitely not true anymore now. The default response to "I need an X" is "just do it on Facebook", and there are entire swaths of content that just don't have a place anymore on the web, "thanks" to ever-increasing enforcement of arbitrary moral guidelines and growing monoculture.

If the internet were to be described as a city, it'd be a gentrified city where most of the artists have long been chased away by ever-increasing rents.
Naming things – the hardest thing in computer science
"Payment Systems in the US" by Carol Coye Benson and Scott Loftesness
The difference is that the Django ecosystem really focuses on developer productivity and has strong best practices. Look at 5 different Express apps and you'll find 5 different ways of structuring models, controllers, and routes.

Plus the fact that Django has some suggested defaults allows you to be very productive with them. For example, I really haven't found any equivalent to DRF for Express.

I want to make it clear I'm not some Node hater. Probably half my projects are still in Node, but I do know I'm much high productivity in Django.

Ask HN: Less-saturated platforms for premium plugin development?
What kind of less-known platforms do you know of for developing interesting little paid plugins?

I'm thinking of things like Wix apps (http://www.wix.com/app-market/main) or Slack bots maybe a plugin for another existing SaaS and things of that sort.

I'm interested in making a tiny useful plugin or something and maybe earning the cost of my internet and coffee per month.

The bar is too high for things like Wordpress/Android/iOS and so on and the market is saturated. So I was hoping to find a little under-served niche/slice of the market where the bar is lower.

Yes the code is under GPL. The FSF wants copyright assigned to it, because that allows them to sue people that infringe the GPL [1]. This assignment is the precondition for the code to get included into GCC, but which the lawyers at Berkley don't seem to be so fond of.

Owning the copyright also allows you to dual license the code under different licenses. That's not really the issue here with the FSF, but it's one of the many good reasons not to assign copyright to other entities.

I was curious about this also. It tracks the global public events endpoint

https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/#list-public...

which has a limit of 30 items, requesting every 2 seconds

https://github.com/debugger22/github-audio/blob/e1170daa3a64...

And then limits to 3 pushes, 5 issue comments, and 3 issue events:

https://github.com/debugger22/github-audio/blob/e1170daa3a64...

There are definitely situations where you'd be losing events, though I don't know what percentage that represents.
Where is the difference between transferring copyright to the FSF and selling IP (including transferring copright) to some commercial vendor?
That seems a little unfair. I suspect it's just that users are encouraged to not feel that they should refrain from posting interesting content again just because it quickly fell away.

No, the star would heat the Dyson sphere, and it would be observable in infrared. Plus you would need several Dyson spheres for each 'naked' star to explain dark matter and they need to be build at a constant ratio of start to galaxies for all galaxies we observe.
Dailycacy- Unique food ordering- Getting Best Street food at doorstep
Thank you kindly! I've made some corrections based on these comments.
Absolutely. But it's been 10 years now, and the best they've come up with is a sort of stripped down Cloudwatch-style request count graph for Cloudfront usage. That did actually cause a bit of a dip in signups when it came out, but I think there's still a need for more detailed reports.

But yeah, the expectation is that they'll squash it dead any minute now. I'm hoping that the next thing I'm building will have replaced S3stat as an income stream by the time that happens.

Why would it be dangerous ? As I said, that officer needs to account for all his actions during working hours anyway, so there should never be a problem proving his/her innocence.

Or to put it another way: if an officer has, say an hour, on a working day in which (s)he can't account for his/her whereabouts and actions, wouldn't that be a good reason to suspect and investigate that officer ? What was he/she doing in that time, why did he/she feel the need to drop 'off the grid' for an hour ? If they have nothing to hide, then why would it be a problem ?
The example was an off duty cop.
Interview question: "iterate over an array":

angular.forEach([1,2,3] ...

$.each([ 1, 2, 3 ], ...

[1,2,3].forEach(...

One of these things is not like the other. I hire people that know javascript, not ones that only know the tool we use. The tool we use today may not be the tool we use 6 months from now. I've never asked a javascript question that required framework knowledge unless it was explicitly about concepts of the framework. Someone taking the time to include jQuery is instantly out the door. Walking through people's code demonstrates whether or not they default to other people's solutions than their own.

This isn't to say your experience didn't happen, I'm just pointing out that there is a lot more that goes into it than just which framework the cool kids are using nowadays.
