I would need a multi-process debugger. The workaround with gdb is to attach one gdb to one process. That is tedious to setup and has little advantage over logging.
I think for this specific case it wasn't a vandalized poster, but some writing on a blackboard that was simply replaced. I've seen that at a few startups, the black/white board where everybody should feel free to write whatever, or draw a doodle.

Would you care to answer assuming that it wasn't a case of vandalism?
Ask HN: File upload for Small Business
I'm looking for a self hosted (linux server) file upload platform,

Something I can setup for a business, they can create usernames and passwords for their clients, they login to a web interface and can upload files (files will be in the range of 200mb to 10GB)

just a simple web interface, something I can put behind Nginx and HTTPS, would be great it if it was python because then I could modify it, but it's not a requirement ..

Does anyone know of a tool like this?
I don’t need a replacement, just offering an explanation for why some people’s needs might not be satisfied by this rule.
It depends on what debugger you use I think. Setting breakpoints in gdb is painful, it's easy in IDEs.

On what timescale? That's the most important question here that you conveniently glossed over.

You're grossly misinformed.

I would be upset if any company fired a developer or even manager for having the wrong political opinions. But if a company broke ties with a part time partner, who was a public representative of the company, because the partner publicly, actively, and materially support a presidential candidate who the company publicly believe "represents a real threat to the safety of women, minorities, and immigrants ... the Constitution, the Republic, ... human decency ... [and] national security" then I don't think that's a problem.
The best thing about learning calculus is that you see how everything you have learned so far - algebra, geometry, trigonometry - everything comes together and becomes equally useful and important. This is, in fact, what mathematics is all about.
"Here is the computer calculated quantity of tasteless nutrient sludge necessary to maintain your productivity for the day" could very well be the first line out of a dystopian novel somewhere.
Diversity of thought is not itself a good thing. That is, a group with more opinions among its members is not necessarily any better / more moral / more effective than a group with fewer opinions.

Facebook is not "stronger" than the Democratic National Committee or the ACLU or Heritage Foundation because it has a broader array of political opinions among its staff and leadership than those groups do. The organizations simply have different reasons for existing.

What we should concern ourselves with as a society is freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of association. This is different from diversity. In fact these freedoms eventually reduce diversity of thought, as we influence each other.

For example, the belief that slavery should be legal is no longer widely held in the U.S. That is a reduction in "thought diversity" from 160 years ago. And I highly doubt that Mark Zuckerberg would keep a board member who advocated for the return of slavery, in the name of "diversity of thought."

The freedoms listed above include the freedoms to disagree, to dissociate. It would not be unpatriotic or somehow wrong for Facebook to break ties with Thiel based on political disagreement. After all Zuckerberg has already done the opposite: he has sunk millions into efforts to convince the country to pass immigration reform. This despite knowing that a huge number of Facebook customers (and perhaps staff) don't want immigration reform.

If it's ok to create organizational relationships based on shared political beliefs, I don't see how it's wrong to break relationships based on political beliefs.

So: I find the appeal to "diversity of thought" to be not very compelling. The reality is that Zuckerberg probably thinks that cutting off Thiel would cause himself and his company more harm than good.
It was my first job out of University to design this instruction set which may explain some of the quirkiness...

Initially the instructions did all set the status flags but it caused a tight feedback loop in the processor. The choice was between a higher clock frequency for all instructions or better 64-bit arithmetic.

None of the initial video applications needed 64-bit support so it lost out, although I did get to put in the divide instruction just so my Doom port could run faster :)

When you say "more dangerous" do you mean "inherently more dangerous" or "more likely to commit crimes per capita"? Because if it's the latter, then depending on how you define "race" some of these statistics are already known.
Have you tried answering that question yourself? If so, what answers have you found?

Anger is an emotion I try to avoid entirely. If I could only choose one word to describe my feelings toward Hitler, it would be "pity".

I'm not saying anger is never warranted, but holding onto those feelings and acting on them usually just brings more pain into the world. I'd like to think that The Allies won the second World War not for their hatred of Hitler, but rather for their love of humanity. But maybe I'm being naive.

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” -- Mark Twain
It's a multi-tiered problem with each one with its own complexities. I don't want to write a long story now, but I want to emphasise one and one thing only.

If you want to disrupt film and/or tv industry then you have to disrupt people, not technology (by much). It's a people problem.

It takes a lot of people in a collaborative manner to work on a product like that, with each person being skilled and expensive. You need a lot of people like that for a long time. You also need wood, nails, paint, cars, space, energy... lots of those in order to build sets. And someone to imagine them and someone to design them.

Having a fancy camera, grip, lenses is a tiny tiny proportion of any reasonable-sized budget. Most of the money goes to people and towards materials, rentals and space for sets.

It's a lot of money too, if you want to make something reasonable. Not everything can be made on a small budget with innovative story. Some products can, but not majority.

What it means is that you need a lot of cash, and for that you need investors (or deep pockets and then you don't care, maybe). With investors there are expectations of return on investment. And with that you're in the realm of distribution.. and then real complexities come forward.

You can't expect to raise anything moderate in crowd-funding for these types of products. It's too much for the level where that is now.

Note: I work in this industry. I have or have access to free state-of-the-art cameras, grip, lenses, even studio facilities and more, yet I can't make a movie just like that. I still need to pay lots of people to do their job and pay the materials for (at least some) sets or set dressing.

It's a people problem. They need to eat and pay bills and they don't care (much) about your grand vision if you're not paying.

Carrying Capacity refers to an ecosystem's capacity to support a certain population size. It can hardly be said that their earth's ecosystems are sustainably supporting the current human population. We've had to essentially destroy and replace working ecosystems with a regime that now relies on petroleum-based technology (fertilizer, herbicide, mechanization, transport) to raise productivity. We are on borrowed time and now have to rely on new technology to save us before we either run out of fossil fuels or cook the planet.

Your comment was worded fine. My point is that most code written for most companies is not publicly accessible. Therefore, most code that is publicly accessible was created as a side project in their spare time.

I don't know about you, but after working an 8-10 hour day, anything I make in my off hours is a steaming pile of shit. Certainly nothing I'd be showing to potential employers. Do you know who can make jewels after 8-10 hours of work? People who punch the clock, do the bare minimum and save their creative energies for their side projects after they get home. That's not somebody I would hire.

Another scenario is the person really is just a coding machine and does so 12+ hours a day. Those people burn out, eventually.

As someone who read the entire Pao shitshow on reddit, I literally never once saw anyone mention or make racist/sexist remarks about her being Asian or a woman. This is frankly remarkable considering how shitty the internet can be. This isn't to say those remarks didn't happen, I am 100% sure they did, but it was less than 0.0001% of the sentiment.
Except that ebay has issues with the same fake products that Amazon does. A good chunk of the cables, memory products, silver ingots, etc are fake on ebay. The one difference with Amazon is that if you buy from a specific seller you trust, you know you're getting it from that seller since ebay doesn't have the co-mingling of merchandise issue that Amazon does.

Dirty Old Man on Fire
I would argue that schools don't do this because it's in their best interest to admit a certain percentage of kids who can't afford it, and bend over backwards to make sure the kids attend.

If the schools fill up with ONLY rich kids with excellent academics, they're going to miss out on the poor (or middle class) kids who will clearly go on to do great things. The output will get bland, and they're leaving a huge market gap open for another educational institution to come in and sweep up these poor geniuses and build a reputation on that.

You need to strike a delicate balance between the Malia Obamas, the Rothschilds, and the Ramanujans out there in order to build and maintain the reputation of the institution. Even if they're losing money, and dealing with a paperwork nightmare in the short term, it's a long term gain for them.

So the schools don't want to eliminate these loans and subsidy programs, the consumers certainly don't want to eliminate them, and because of this, the government doesn't want to eliminate them -- adding more subsidies, scholarships, and increasing access to loans is an extremely popular political move.

I would also argue that these subsidies provide a net economic benefit to society, by allocating educational resources to those who will get the most out of it, but that's a little more controversial.
As I recall, the argument was that the main breeding grounds for mosquitoes were horse stables and swamps. The horses would be replaced by cars, and the swamps would be drained to make room for highways and factories, thus leading to the mosquito's extinction.
If Trump's gonna invite Obama's long lost half-brother to sit in his box at tonight's debate, Clinton should invite this AI to be her guest of honor.

this didnt work for germany, wont work for the UK either. most of the "porn" companies in the UK are only there to make use of tax advantages and billing, they are just shells that allow the parent company to move money through the UK to tax havens and mitigate risks. very very few porn companies are truly based in the UK, which means none will follow the rules.
That's precisely my point.

> While I'm not sure if that's true, I think the main danger is that, at least based on experience and observation, there's something strangely addictive to rumination. It feels useful.

I think the main issue with reading these kinds of things with aims towards a solution is they support the idea that there's some problem with yourself that you need to solve in the first place, whereas—in many cases—the only problem is that one keeps trying to solve this 'problem,' and if they stopped for sufficiently long, things would eventually return to normal. Although another requirement may be that you have to consider it not a problem when negative mental states arise (otherwise you just keep trying to problem solve your mental state), and reading can definitely help to acquire that. But anyway that's just my thinking on this atm—can't say I put it into practice super well ;)

Why on earth would you move to Kansas from Seattle if you want your kids to be able to go outside and play? The PacNW has a far superior climate, where you can go outside just about any time of year. The Midwest, by contrast, has hot summers and brutal winters. I get that Seattle may be too urban, but there's plenty of parts of the area that aren't nearly as built-up.

It would be nice to afford a monthly metro pass, or be able to save some money. In this situation, what explanation should I give to recruiters? Money? Lie and say "poor culture fit?"

If there was actual quality control, that would be the case. Actual "homoeopathic" products, OTOH, are, in fact, often not what the purported process would produce, and have been known to be dangerous.

"Allegations" is maybe the better word here. I hate HRC and I think it's very likely Trump has sexually assaulted at least one woman before, but I also think it's shitty to start a political narrative based on hearsay and the type of empty gloating that lots of men do in private.
It reads like it might be mostly a summary of the Louise Mozingo book mentioned at the beginning of the article. I haven't read the book, so I can't be sure about that. Mozingo is cited a number of times. It also seems to take a very pro-density position. I suppose high density will benefit some industries more than others.
Yeah, really the point I was trying to make (obliquely) was that the reason there aren't many new entrants to the business side of film is that it's incredibly expensive and risky, even to make a single film. Occasionally you hear of an ultra-low budget horror that earned millions despite being made for less than the cost of a house, but those are a rarity. If you're a new entrant and you can actually get a film financed, you're going to make friends in the industry very easily.

“Not Invented Here” versus Developer Sanity (2012)
this is poor form from amazon, but this rattles the cage of the bees in the bonnet of my bugbear because of the subject matter of apple proprietary standard cables

why doesn't apple just use a generic standard? its in the best interests of everyone involved. they can still make official cables...

i'd also give them a bit more credit if they made these things to a decent quality standard - like actually earthing my macbook when its plugged in instead of lacquering over the connector so it looks shiny but can't possibly work. i've never owned anything that so frequently gives me small shocks - and i've heard the same story from everyone who uses these things in the uk... (maybe other regions get some better quality... our plugs are after all their own special type)

they are getting better though, the new iphone 5 and later charger cable actually has a practical level of build quality. unlike the previous generation of official apple cables, which seemed almost designed to fail.... that weak connection on the charging end that always wore out, always developed kinks, and in the hands of the naive would end up as frayed wires... and thats after a mere 6 months to a year of light use. worse build quality than any usb cable i've ever owned.
I don't know of such a solution. However, my own side project / startup ( https://keveo.tv/en/ ) is based on such a concept :) - a website widget where you can immediately initiate a video chat connection with a support agent. It's based on WebRTC, so it doesn't work on iPhones, but it works well everywhere else. If you want to try it out, mail us at info at keveo.tv :)

There are several like it, some are free. The best one in my opinion is Appear.in, but they don't provide a widget.
