I don't see the unflattering aspect here, to we want her perfectly done up with makeup and hair? that too would insinuate a disconnect from common people. in the picture I saw my take away was she was trying to explain a situation and nicely at that.

is this all a male perception of a problem they fully do not understand and therefor think they know how its perceived by the opposite sex?

Because sometimes they break stories and have exclusive content and in depth info that others won't have immediately if ever. For example they were ahead of everyone with the Theranos news.

I think the idea of putting links on HN is its better to know about it asap, rather than possibly using a slower or less comprehensive source.
So where are the American-born Nobel laureates? Surely all six being immigrants it at least a little statistically strange. Is this a result of poor US primary education, an issue with culture, or something else at play?
I would prefer this so that people who do want to spend time looking for changed referrers or cached copies and such can do so, while others can just skip it or see if they can submit a non-paywalled link. Let the submissions float up the ranks based on how people react to the nuisances of dealing with such sites.
That's what I thought, but it runs quite well on a RPi2.

Extensions working well too, at least as many as I have tried.

I was of the understanding that everyone's expectations re the iPhone 7 were already pretty low. They made sure that the lack of an audio plug was leaked well before the official announcement...

Ask HN: Dealing with a coding brick wall. Go deep? Learn something new?
I'm looking to hear from more experienced developers who have overcome being stuck in their programming career. How did you do it?

Is it better to go deeper into a language (in my case PHP) or learn something new (I'm thinking Swift or Java maybe even Go). On one hand learning a new language makes sense, but on the other hand, I'd like obtain deeper knowledge of PHP. My goal is to be a better developer, so both are probably best to do, but I am wondering about specific things to do to become unstuck...
Ugh, an hour-plus every week to hear management blather on about the mission for 60% of that time? You folks have fun at that, I'm going to sit back here and write another glue script.

And yet, you also have the opposite: those who started with MS DOS (or Altos if they were better off), and who sit there screaming at Windows 10 for trying to tell them how they should do something, rather than letting the user make the decision. (Buried options in Control Panel, can only use the Registry Editor for other things)

My dad reaches for C whenever Windows hides another feature, because the backwards compatibility of the Win32 API makes it easier than the PC Settings/Control Panel divide, and features continually getting harder to find.

Monthly update including passive income report
I wouldn't use the term laying battery for a room where employees get salarys of (often) more than 5x the country's median to work there. I'd say no developer at Facebook was forced to work there, they all could easily get another job (maybe paid worse). It's purely their choice to work in this environment. I think the comparison with a laying battery isn't a really good fit here.

What's described here is still a "first world problem", some people seem to forget that.
I don't think these sights should be banned. WSJ and NYT in particular produce excellent journalism and the digital subscriptions are actually quite cheap, even if you're on a budget. If anything we should ban tabloids like Business Insider which mostly produce summaries of other sights and listicles.
Thanks for saving time.
So people are up in arms that Trump said things because, instead of taking them at face value (the US is overspending for other nations' security), they're reading into it too much.

Meanwhile Hillary and Obama (and the rest of the neo-cons opposing Trump) have been marching us strait towards WWIII with their antagonization of Russia.
How is Markdown support? Does it support GitHub Markdown?

I'm using Atom as it has some nice plugins. But I tend to preview my markdown in Marked 2 anyway.
Author here. It was done with a Python script that parses the CSS into a stream of characters annotated with metadata saying whether the character is allowed to be escaped and whether whitespace can be inserted before or after it. It's then just a matter of breaking up the stream where whitespace is permitted and using the escaping to pad segments to the exact size required.

Definitely not recommended in production. Other than the obvious inefficiency, it was only supported in Chrome fairly recently (even though the CSS escaping rules have remained largely unchanged for 20 years or so). In this case, though, the game itself depended on recent bug fixes in Chrome, so there wasn't much point in worrying about compatibility with older versions.

"""There are private security contractors that these groups can hire to ensure that their environment is fully secure"""

Leave the room as fast as you can if anyone ever pitches this to you.

IT security is mostly a risk assessment exercise at most companies. Likelihood of an incident*impact compared to cost. That's reasonable but I think both the likelihood and the impact are really hard to estimate well.

> He has registered an account using his credentials

Where are you getting that? In his blog posts, he only mentioned the common thing between the accounts were his credit card and old test devices he handed off - how do those qualify as "his credentials"? He explicitly mentioned he wasn't aware that his account and his alleged relatives account were linked until after his account was blocked.

You are right - he doesn't understand the problem - and neither do I. With the information that I have so far, it seems that Apple has set the bar for guilt too low, and the whole process is extremely opaque.
I've briefly tried a prototype of keyboard.io and if you like the concept I think you're going to be pleased. But it's of course also personal and you won't really find out until you used it for awhile.

Some studio headphones have excellent passive noise cancelling. They're designed to avoid sound leaking through so they basically shut out most noises even if they're plugged off. Look at DT 770 as an example.

Which also means you can use them on a very low level so that they don't cause hearing problems if used for long time.

Because of capitalism I think, you can't just appropriate someone's profits, that's not capitalism.

There are two basic ideas to solve this though, you can put more and more taxes on the capital owning class to "make them pay their fair share" for, from what I gather the humanists want, an unlimited number of economic migrants because it's the human thing to do. Now an important thing to note, might be Trump's comments in the second debate, that while everyone is going on about how he legally avoided paying maximal amounts of taxes (which I would do as well, I think most everyone pays as little tax as they legally can), Hillary's donors also use those loopholes. It takes a lot more research into the respective tax plans to see if "making the rich pay their fair share" is a campaign line or an actual plan, so that takes checking.

I gather that the arguments against this are that if people can't be rich in the USA, they will go be rich somewhere else. The USA, from Trump's rhetoric, I haven't checked this, has some of the higher corporate tax rates in the world, and seeing as how manufacturing has already spread outside the USA, is it really crazy to assume the capital will as well (especially when selling the goods to America is facilitated by free trade deals that are in place, making it less costly to move your business to another country).

This is the Democratic party tack to deal with wealth inequality.

The second plan is to cause a shortage of labor, which would increase it's value, which would make wages go up. The common ways to do this would be: to make it expensive to import goods into America (which lessens the effect of labor in foreign factories which export into the USA) by getting rid of free trade agreements; and to lower the number of people in the USA competing for that labor. We attempt to do this by having an immigration procedure, with quotas, so that we can accept as immigrants into our labor force the number of people needed at various skill levels (this would be why it's easier for a doctor to get in than a farmer, say). Trump's "wall" is basically just a way to say "we should enforce the quotas that our immigration experts are setting so that our labor force isn't glutted by excess supply in any relative tier".

This is the republican tack to tackle wealth disparity.

The arguments against this are mostly humanitarian, from what I gather. A significant portion of the population consider's it America's duty and legacy to be the harbor for the indigent. There's also arguments for cultural enrichment etc.

I think that's why so much emotion is involved in opposing it, and why so much backlash is rightfully indignant and angry. One side is hurt by this betrayal of the American identity by building a wall to oppress the poor and keep them from the upward path -- and then begins to call the other side hateful things... When the other side tried to start an economic conversation.

This is just my interpretation of the situation.
I should've said 'credit default swaps'. OTOH, is it fair to say that the CDS prompted an excess of mortgages?

And I do think there's room for viewing the extraordinary actions the Fed took as a recall, e.g. MBS purchases during QE 1, 2, 3....
It is a valid complaint. However, I mostly read it on tech blogs so it is pretty much preaching to the choir.

_We_ all know the pros and cons of a replaceable battery already. _We_ don't need to be told all the time.

Edit: Please note that if your battery is losing half or more of its capacity w/in one year, it is defective. Have it replaced. (Off the top of my head, I think Apple's guide is 80% remaining capacity within a warranted period. Surely other OEMs are similar).

What kind of silly wasteful thinking has infected you?

What if instead of getting caught in a consumerism loop of enriching Samsung and Apple (and Starbucks in your listed cases) I save my money, invest it, and attempt to be an environmentally friendly person in general.

You are an addict. Waste is your addiction.
Passive noise cancelling works well, a lot of studio headphones are designed for that. And they're often cheaper than active noise cancelling.
Having been on exec teams that have chosen who to give these rewards to, there's always an enormous amount of politics in the decision to who to give the reward to. Who's received in in the past is definitely a factor.

Upgrading annually is still within reach for most people, especially if they are enthusiasts. It costs around $2 per day if you want a new phone every year.

Your Android comment is spot on. I'm wary though of comparing specs because that can be misleading. A couple of phones ago I had a OnePlus One which looked marvelous on paper and it ended up being a terrible phone.

The problem of fossil UI is not a skin. Why that annoying commit hashes are so big? Do you really read them first? Take a look at github UI: every button and label have meaningful place and polished. And that is the problem of most github clones - they forgot to hire a designer.
Trust Disrupted: Bitcoin and the Blockchain
I agree.

The BBC do a similar thing with their football news roundup from the daily papers with "<short overview> <paper name> - subscription required"

This doesn't stop people who do subscribe to the site from reading the content linked to and gives a heads up for people who don't.

The Samsung story isn't exclusive to the WSJ and there are plenty of other free to access news sites that would have been better for the submission. If we ban paywalled sites entirely it would prevent submissions of exclusive content (which could be an interview or journal)
While on this side of the pond, amidst the Brexit debate, I note the UK born Nobel laureates appear to be emigrants. Maybe the US cup is half full?
I propose that paywalled article be allowed, but as soon as a comment recommends a non-paywalled article for the same story, we switch to that.

HN already replaces article URLs with better ones, so the above will work through the old process with an additional parameter for what's considered "better" for HN.
If the other drug is more cost effective then people should just skip the Pfizer drug until they in turn adjust pricing for the market.

Isn't this what they're doing? They specifically mention that a competitor (GSK) has lowered their prices for the same vaccine, so presumably they'll use that instead until Pfizer lowers the price, exactly as you're suggesting.

Some comment on the Twitter buyout rumours
We build our own. All events are published on Tank( https://github.com/phaistos-networks/TANK ) , and we have a bunch of consumers that consume from various Tank topics. They process the data and either publish to other Tank topics(to be consumed by other services), or they update state on various services.

- For data exploration, we use memSQL. We keep the last day’s worth of data there(we DELETE rows to keep the memory footprint down), and because most of the time it’s about understanding something that has happened recently, it’s almost always sufficient. Each row contains the event’s representation as JSON, and we also have a few more columns for faster lookup. memSQL’s JSON support is great(we used mySQL for that but it was too slow), so we can take advantage of joins, aggregations, windowing etc.

- For data visualisation, we use ELK (but it’s pretty slow), a tool our ops folks built (“otinanai”: https://github.com/phaistos-networks/otinanai) and we have a few smaller systems that generate graphs and reports.

- For alerts and tickets, our ops folk built another tool that monitors all those events, filters them and executes domain-specific logic that deals with outliers, notifications routing, and more.

This solves most of our needs, but we plan to improve this setup further, by monitoring even more resources and introducing more tools(Tank consumers) to get more out of our data.
In case your point is not obvious to someone, 10000! is FAR larger than 100!*100! (by something like 350,000 orders of magnitude), so the possibility space is vastly bigger if you shuffle the pixels individually than if you shuffle columns first, then rows.
Well

1) This is not default behaviour, you have to specifically enable this

2) They actually note that if you copy files outside their app, metadata does not get copied, it's doubtful they'll fix it

So basically, NOFIX, working as intended. Not poor design.
> all-hands are quite important to remind people of the company culture and to connect individuals to the mission

The article is proposing weekly meetings for up to 500 employees. If they need reminding that often, then I reckon you have a hiring problem.

Where I am now, there is a formal all-hands that takes most of a day once/year, plus all-hands at appropriate junctures (big client/important milestone stuff), and it seems to work well. There isn't the idea of this fortnightly or weekly meeting. I just can't fathom wasting that much time to talk about mission.
The last company I worked at did an "all-hands" meeting every day, for 9 minutes just before lunch. It actually worked incredibly well - 9 minutes out of every day is nothing, comparatively speaking, and the insanely compressed format puts pressure on everyone to not waste time with anything. It scaled really well from 20 - 150 people. It was great for hiring too - we could bring candidates in and give them a quick 9 minute overview of what was happening around the company and what the culture was like.

A couple of things that I think differentiate good all-hands from bad ones (daily or otherwise)

- As much as possible, rank-and-file employees should drive the show. Having management up there talking the whole time increases the mandatory boring meeting feeling.

- If you're running all hands, your number one priority is to eliminate any feeling of big company corporate "rah-rah" culture. It's really easy for all-hands to feel fake with lots of imposed cheery "culture" things (someone else in the comments mentioned a singalong.. Really? It's cool to have unique things that you guys as a company do, but they have to be organic. Coming up with them as a manager basically guarantees that everyone laughs at them behind your back.

- Your priority should be providing useful information to employees, not pushing things on them. If the all-hands becomes the "yell about sales targets" meeting everyone will hate them.

Awesome. Thank you. I haven't tried VSCode since before 1.0.
Downloading now. I'd love to get away from Atom.
I like the idea in theory, but in practise it always takes some time till the link gets replaced and it's manual labor for HN.

I don't think it's something i as a developer would want to see as a solution ( just my 2 cents)
I think you received a perfectly valid answer. It was not a direct answer, but since the presupposition of your question is so deeply flawed, a direct answer is simply impossible.

However, the answer could have been more detailed and less ranting about HN. Maybe the answer could be improved to:

Things work completely different there. In particular, there are already people and companies making money with selling FreeBSD, and these are also contributing back a lot to FreeBSD. They are contributing back for moral reasons, pragmatic reasons or simply because they like FreeBSD, even though (and sometimes exactly because) they are not pushed to do so by the license.
That's the point of the US immigration system - to attract top 5% of the bell curve.

Yea. At one place I worked at we got an "all-hands, all-offices" meeting invite out of the blue. All offices where required to connect to the main office via video link. No agenda, no clues and this sort of thing never happened at this company. Even senior managers had no idea what was going on. Of course rumors started flying, resumes got updated and people where firing up their contingency plans.

Anyway, meeting happened and the CEO proudly announced that the company was getting a new logo...
Listening to the video linked by @mynegation, I was expecting louder traffic sounds (horseshoe on cobblestone, carriage wheels on cobblestone, creaking of carriages). In the summertime we visit an area with many Amish farmsteads nearby and I can hear their carriages coming from a few hundred yards/meters away.
Bear in mind that the whole point of this exercise was to produce a game without using any JavaScript whatsoever. It was intended to be more of a technology demonstration than a playable game.
