At least when it comes to startups this makes total sense. Work is increasingly both your work and your life. Your friends are increasingly your colleagues.

Traditionally you don't cuss in the work place b/c you have to stay professional - ie. you have to not be emotional about your work. Cussing is a form of injecting emotion into your speech. If you are at the office 12 hours a day with your friends, then the lines get blurred.

Personally I don't like the trend, but to each his own. There are pluses and minuses to each type of workplace

Feedback for the author:

You have copied LastPass, however LastPass isn't a good design to copy. Passwords and sensitive info isn't only for "Sites". You also have Wifi networks, routers, credit cards, etc, not to mention many people need custom fields, like for Apple's stupid secret questions, or for recovery codes, etc. You've also taken the name Site too literally. Throwing an error if the URL is empty is a mistake. Don't assume the user doesn't know what he's doing and I doubt this app needs URLs to function.

I never liked LastPass because it's rigid on how you can store data. Surely username+password+ website is common enough, but give the user the opportunity to add custom fields. This is how KeePass and 1Password work, it's a proved design ;-)

On Android, when using the password generator on editing a new site, in order to complete the process I had to copy/paste the new password. This is bad, on Android at least, as the clipboard on Android is public and any app can register a listener for clipboard events. And again, on viewing the password, it got truncated, so the user is forced to copy/paste it.

I'm also uneasy about having my data uploaded to your servers. I realize data is encrypted before that, but given this is supposed to be open source, it would have been better if the apps were able to work offline or with Dropbox, then add the server stuff as an add-on.

General Relativity, as a metric theory of gravitation, works exactly like this. Einstein's resolution to the Hole Argument[0] was to realize that spacetime itself has no properties other than the intervals between events, or equivalently, the sum of every 4-distance between a state of matter and another state of matter.

In the standard cosmology, we use quantum fields that permeate the whole of spacetime and carry values at each point in spacetime. Some of the fields have values at each point that correspond to the presence of absence of a particle at that point (e.g. the electron field), while other fields provide a mechanism for one field to influence the state of another. In General Relativity we have the metric tensor, which is a field that carries information relevant to the causal structure of spacetime, and is determined by the values of the other fields (roughly, matter determines curvature, which in this case is a component of the distance in space and time from one configuration of matter to the next).

So, rather than saying spacetime doesn't exist, we say instead that spacetime is only relevant when there is a configuration of matter within it that can be used to established one or more systems of coordinates (e.g. the matter states converge, diverge or oscillate).

However, in Special Relativity there is no spacetime curvature (by definition) and so we do not need to use a metric tensor (we could naturally use the Minkowski tensor to describe the Minkowski spacetime, which is the spacetime of Special Relativity), but commonly attach a 4-vector to particles or bound collections of them. As with any spacetime in General Relativity, there is nothing special about a Minkowski spacetime that has nothing in it, or that has any other always-unchanging configuration of mass-energy.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is a group theory with the Poincaré group as a subgroup; the Poincaré group is the isometry group of Minkowski spacetime, or in other words, in Special Relativity, when you move something following the rules of the Poincaré group, you do not change the fundamental states of the thing you are moving. The Poincaré group in 3+1 spacetime has 3 (bidirectional) linear spacelike translation components, 3 components of (bidirectional) rotation, 3 components of Lorentz boost, and one timelike translation. So if you do a particle-smashing experiment today and the same experiment tomorrow (or in a lab across campus), you will get the same result.

One can represent the action of the Poincaré group in several different ways. There is no harm in either approach in your second paragraph, as long as one is careful about how one manipulates either representation (especially, for example, swapping one representation for the other).

The Joel Test is sort of incorporated into Stack Overflow Jobs (previously Careers) in that a company has the option to include the results of their Joel Test when posting an ad on the site. However, there's no obvious way (at least that I could see) for a candidate to search for jobs that meet specific criteria in the test.

Also, the exact wording for the office part of the test is "Do programmers have quiet working conditions?" This usually means that working conditions might possibly be quiet if nobody else happened to be in the office at the same time as you. While many claim quiet working conditions, I've never seen one that actually provided private offices.

This is anecdotal of course, and just based on looking at photographs they've included on their website or Stack Overflow page, but every job I've viewed recently appears to have an open plan office. In some of the photos you even see people standing around having impromptu meetings in the middle of a group of desks where others are trying to work.

Remember this is just the companies that are actually claiming to provide programmers with quiet working conditions. I can't imagine what the noisy ones are like.
It's good to hear that tree view is coming back. The ui changes around 1.7/1.8 were somewhat annoying, but the removal of tree view "because it was slow" was horribly handled. State "we know it's slow, but it's not widely used and it'll be addressed in x months".. Don't just remove it with no alternative.

Out of frustration, I switched to gitkraken around that time. The main feature it has over sourcetree is auto-stash, which is exactly the type of feature I wish atlassian was working on, rather than more ui revamping.

Either way, I wish you good luck with it, and thanks for bringing a great git ui to Windows.

The slowness generally is configurable parameter ("work factor" or some such) and the value is a trade-off between security and usability. The choice of KDF does not really enter into the picture, I think all of mainstream ones can be configured to be fast enough for mobile devices.
That's interesting. I, don't "talk" or "think aloud" in my head myself. At all. Ideas just snap into focus at once immediately. Same goes for when I'm trying to figure out a puzzle or when programing.

At the moment I learn something new it just snaps into place at once and the knowledge is integrated on the spot.

Also English is a foreign language for me and the same goes for my native language. Whole concepts emerge as I'm trying to do or say something and then I have to put them into words(in either language).

Sometimes the process of talking is excruciatingly slow and interferes with my thoughts. I find that I can type a lot faster and that helps a little.

It took six years to build, and had to be excavated manually through solid gneiss."

In general, posts are flagged because someone clicked the "flag" link so HN doesn't know any more specific reason.

Telling spammers why they were blocked just makes it easier for them to change their behavior just enough to not be blocked in the future. Telling crackpots why they were blocked just causes them to post multiple responses complaining about groupthink, free speech, and conspiracies. This has led basically all user generated content sites to have a policy of never explaining their moderation decisions. Of course this occasionally goes wrong.

Initially, it was bundled with payroll because, during World War II, employers were restricted in their ability to give pay raises to employees. They started buying health insurance as a way of giving a raise without giving a raise, as it were.

Its more of a combo of things at this point rather than specifically photolithography or unwanted quantum behavior that is slowing Moore's Law.

The currently used light wavelength is many times larger than the features they make with it, and the lamps for the next smaller wavelength have serious issues of not being bright enough as they are ~80w now and need to be ~200w, being blocked by air but they cant run in a vacuum because immersion lithography and other parts of the process don't work in vacuum and finally they are only reliable enough for lab use.

In other places they are running out of atoms to take away (eg: some parts are 15 atoms thick and at 14 atoms thick they no longer have the properties needed). In some cases they are stretching atoms farther apart to make them work better with the few they have (see strained silicon).

Another part is heat rejection from the silicon as while each transistor is more efficient and smaller on a individual basis, you have much more of them. This is why modern processors, when running a single thread workload, will shut off a core to spend its heat budget on running that 1 core faster or a big difference between a phone and tablet CPU is the amount of power dissipation rather than the silicon itself.
I have an idea that any sufficiently large volume of general knowledge, will contain supposed aphrodisiacs. The corollary is that any mysticism around food or drinks will conclude that virtually everything is an aphrodisiac.

I wish we had an option to move more towards how other engineering disciplines handle a lot of these problems: standardized training/college course work (ABET accreditation being a major deal), licensure boards and procedures and certifications (EIT [Engineer in Training], PE [Professional Engineer], certifications in various specialties).

To a general (classical?) engineering firm (like my current employer), my two ABET accredited degrees mean a great deal. To most software companies they don't seem to mean anything, but at the very least I wish they meant "can handle a FizzBuzz". (A recent derail for me in an interview a couple years back was someone scoffing at me when I said "Oh yeah, I saw problems like this back in college" as if I couldn't possibly have... It is quite frustrating that the default seems to be that academic background and resume experience are "lies" compared to ability to run a puzzle gauntlet.)

In my current job I could get a small favor/title bump if I did all the hard work to get an EIT/PE after my name (and there is a Software PE now; unlike back when I graduated), but all that hard work would probably not be worth it because it wouldn't be recognized by most software jobs.

There's a chicken and egg problem here with jobs not trusting certifications because the certifications aren't common enough, or comprehensive enough/well suited enough for that particular businees, because no one gets certifications if companies won't hire them or won't privilege them at least enough to skip interview shibboleths like FizzBuzz and some of the puzzle gauntlets.

Honestly, if Latin-speakers had invented high-level programming languages (and, especially, languages intended for the kind of use and audience that motivated the design of SQL), they'd probably just include noun declensions as part of the declaration, and then decline the noun properly for the way they were used, rather than settling on single form.

Yes, that's not something we'd do with Latin declensions in a language designed by English speakers, but that isn't really an argument against naming collections with plural nouns in such a language, just because doing what might be natural in a language designed by Latin speakers to resemble Latin doesn't make sense to us.
We're kind of off topic here, but ...

Ideal DC has zero ripple, and looks like a straight line on a scope. Ideal AC is a sinusoid. AC-DC conversion tends to produce some ripple. At low power levels, a capacitor across the line and/or an inductor in series will level out the ripple. At high power and voltage, such filters become huge, and there are lots of tricks used to reduce the need for filtering.

Converting 3 phase power to DC works better than single phase, since at least two phases are always delivering power. There's no zero-power point, as there is with single phase, and the ripple is at 6x the AC frequency. (The higher the frequency, the less filtering required.) There's also a trick with transformers for converting 3-phase power to 6-phase power. This gets the ripple frequency up to 720Hz. This is an old trick; the NYC subway system has used it for many decades.

Converting DC to clean AC used to be tough. The home solar power industry took a long time to get inverters with good output waveforms. Early inverters produced square waves, which overheat motors and transformers. There's been a lot of progress, and power semiconductors have improved enormously in recent years.
Now everything from electric cars to Diesel-electric locomotives to electric model airplanes have 3-phase inverters. Anything with a "brushless DC" (really synchronous AC) motor has an inverter driving it. The output waveform is usually a stairstep approximation to a sine wave. This can be filtered into a sine wave if necessary.

Power MOSFETs make this all possible. It's incredible how good they are as electrical switches. Turn-on resistances are in the milli-ohm range. That's as good as a mechanical switch, and better than a carbon-brush commutator.

I'm not sure what your point is.

The Qumran scrolls have nothing whatsoever to do with Nicaea. The OT canon was well established before the Christian era.

As far as canonical issues, the council of Nicaea had nothing to do with establishing the canon of Scripture as accepted by the 4th century church. They did publish a list of those books which were already widely recognized in the church, however, no votes were taken as to what books were or were not to be counted as part of the NT canon. No decisions regarding the canon, whether of the Old or the New Testament were made. This is not speculation. We have the proceedings of the council.
