I misunderstood you. So don't really want a staircase, you want a platform that moves up and down along a screw mechanism? If the column were big enough, you could have the shelves set deep enough to prevent collisions. The doors could shut automatically (weighted mechanism), and a sensor that would prevent the platform from moving if a door was open.

Edit, I guess it could still be a staircase, several steps up and wrapping around a bit, that becomes the platform you ride up and down on.
Maybe people who tend to be in better situations find it easier to be nice, and to have fun.
Let's say we make laws that proscribe that no one shall use the tech "the wrong way", how do we ensure that everyone is adhering to those laws without using the tech "the wrong way"?

My point is that we can't constrain the technology by passing a law, because you have to enforce it, and to do that we have to use the technology.

In the limit we're going to have either hypocrisy and have a system like North Korea, or we're going to sort our shit out and have a system like Star Trek.

(I'm hopeful, despite being well aware of which of my examples is fictional.)
You're only a sucker if you expect to be externally rewarded for "nice" behavior.
I was tackling the blanket assertion that Javascript developers are novice programmers. It's understood that there are programmers of all skill levels who use Javascript. However statements like the aforementioned are dangerous when people just assume it must be true.

There are novice programmers and many of them choose Javascript is more accurate. The aforementioned assertion is used as a pejorative by programmers from other languages who think, perhaps rightfully so, that Javascript is inferior to their language of choice. That doesn't make Javascript programmers as a whole inferior despite what such a blanket statement implies.

Heh, good point. I live in Ingleside and don't go downtown much. Are the downtown meters free overnight?
At this moment, in your life, for most things you 'dont' care'. But can you conceive of a reasonable period in your life, in the life of another, or at some point when you would care, or when it would be valuable for another to care?

If you can conceive of such a moment, then you must care now as well. Once the switch is flipped it is always on. It will become increasingly difficult to turn off. Just for that moment in which you or someone you care about actually do value their privacy.

My largest complaint is every time some company's crap security gives up my credit card and PII data, the card companies protect the stupid in not telling me who it was. I find this abhorrent, as if I knew, I'd simply never deal with them again.

The concept of Final is pretty awesome, as in theory this now allows me to identify who they were when I have to change out a particular number for a vendor. I then know they were a crap company, and likely would just never use them again. Finally.

I use BofA as the convenience at least here in Phoenix is great, but their disposable card numbers is no good for repeat transactions, which I do frequently. It is also highly inconvenient that it only exists for Credit Cards, and not my Debit that I use just as frequently. Final's solution fixes this (except my debit card) imho, definite perks I wish BofA had today.

With any luck, the banks will see what they are doing and at least copy them now that someone has shown them the methodology. This should be an industry standard solution in lieu of major PII breaches every 3 months these days.
I touch on it a little bit here:

https://spion.github.io/posts/javascript-is-not-cancer.html

TLDR: I believe its mostly due to the lack of basic language facilities in pre-ES6 JS. With ES6 covering the basics this will probably slow down (At the very least people will stop writing their own module and object systems)
Mostly convenience and not loading plugins that won't be used based on file type, etc.

That does seem to be a theme with web technologies and Apple recently.

I hope their recent work on Safari 10's compatibility continues.
Yep! It's still very up to date. Tons of vulnerabilities and attacks still apply in 2016 – CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, etc. The bright side is that modern web frameworks are smart enough to handle 90% of them automatically if you follow the rules.

Or more precisely, a world of rent-seeking instead of innovation. Society's consumption is constantly shifting away from traditional corporate interests. However, the one thing people will always need to consume is housing. I think this is why we're seeing property prices skyrocket - people with money realize the best and safest place for their money is property since it will always be in demand.
“Tampopo” restored and re-released
I do too.

People tend to want decentralised alternatives partly for privacy, partly for competition, partly for resilience (hurricanes, wars).

Lots of arts people I speak too also talk about cultural diversity - the lack of competition is part of that.

Capitalism has always been regulated. More than 10% of any market used to mean a monopoly. It should still.

There's nothing wrong with capitalism. What's wrong is the weird idea that a democratic state shouldn't/doesn't regulate it to stop extreme outcomes.

I'm 6'2" and a bit heavier than you. I have never found a chair nearly as comfortable/ergonomically good for me as the C size Aeron. Their LONG warranty, longer life, and loaner chair program makes them a worthwhile investment for me. My current Aeron is ~15 years old, had one warranty repair 7 years ago to replace the cylinder and lumbar pad, and has been perfect otherwise.

I thought so too once.

But the mainstream tech is just used by such a vast amount of companies, that even they haven't enough devs.
Secure? Don't do it yourself. Use a library or a framework with security packages built-in.

If you believe in things like the "npm ecosystem" you have already lost the war on immaturity.

What's being disparaged is bending web technology to unsuitable purposes instead of adopting something better, not individual projects that, ignoring the often insufferable hype and smugness, are often technically clever, as good as a bad premise and a bad purpose allow.

The platform wouldn't move up and down; the staircase would just rotate around the central axis. It's just a spiral staircase, not an elevator, albeit one that rotates.

The more I think about this, the less reasons I can think of for having the damned thing rotate - aside from the possibility of storing books inside the central cylinder, in which case rotation the staircase would give you access to more space.

Yes, and i'm saying it is possible they didn't make the texture, but downloaded a jpg from Samsung's website and used that directly, in which case Samsung would have a solid and legit case.

Distributed Masochism as a Pedagogical Model in the JHU Data Science MOOCs
I think it's pretty cool that back in 1995 Stonebraker and Rowe were looking at effectively "append-only" architecture which have recently come to prominence in things like Kafka and Datomic. Interesting excerpts:

Our proposed approach is to treat the log as normal
data managed by the DBMS which will simplify the
recovery code and simultaneously provide support for
access to the historical data.

...

3.3. Time Varying Data
POSTQUEL allows users to save and query historical data
and versions [KATZ85, WOOD83]. By default, data in a
relation is never deleted or updated. Conventional
retrievals always access the current tuples in the
relation. Historical data can be accessed by indicating
the desired time when defining a tuple variable.

...

Finally, POSTGRES provides support for versions. A
version can be created from a rela- tion or a snapshot.
Updates to a version do not modify the underlying
relation and updates to the underlying relation will be
visible through the version unless the value has been
modified in the version.

One of the purposes of the much-maligned VACUUM command was to push the historical data to archival (optical) media.

The archival store holds historical records, and the
vacuum demon can ensure that ALL archival records are
valid.
I don't know if all or most stores will let you do this, but I went to a Design Within Reach store in Cambridge, MA and they let me bring in my laptop and work off their wifi for a full day. I'm sure they wold have let me spend a couple days there if I needed.

I doubt you'd be able to get an in home trial, though.

Have a self-signed CA certificate with a longish expiration and sign the actual keys the webservers use with that. Apply TOFU to that CA certificate (on a per-domain basis).

There's IIRC no mechanism for that, but for the single-domain CA key it'd make sense to sign the new one with the old one.
I wonder what the comparative risk is between getting side-swiped vs. doored or cut off. In my anectodal experience this seems like more of a comfort issue, while doors and cars who don't see you at all or cut you off are far more dangerous.

The criteria aren't set in stone but the company should be environmentally focused. In other words, they should be actively trying to do something green. Take a look at the example companies I mentioned above and also the about page for a better idea. I could write something down if that's in demand but I think it's better to stay flexible on the definition and not be too formal.
There are IDEs that support JS.

Use JS to do FP (functional), rather than OOP, and it totally rocks. Refactoring stuff works pretty well with nested functions - function names have to be "real" (if avoiding eval()), as opposed to properties that can be provided as associative array string indices (not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's what you need).

I'm not a script kiddie, either - I have been programming since the early 80s when I was earning my CS degree. I'm not scared of dynamic scripting languages

I'd go for a double-helix staircase. Reference on one side, fiction on the other.

You could get pretty nuts with bookcase staircases. Alternating tread double-helical staircases with books on the inside and outside faces of the stairs, and shelves on the underside of the treads above as well? Probably not to code, but it's would be pretty cool.
Ask HN: Is your online presence costing you the job?
Employers can quickly search for applicants online, and if they don't fit within their hiring "diversity inclusion" protocols, they receive a rejection notice.

Just want to clarify something here- I think guys too often assume that the "jerk" part of "cocky jerk" is somehow a key component of getting the girl. It's not. The confidence is the important part. A confident, nice guy has just as much of a chance with a girl as a confident, mean guy. I would argue he has a better chance.

The term "Nice Guy" describes a guy who thinks he is being "gentlemanly" when really he's just being shy. I think it's important to distinguish kindness from confidence, lest we all start treating women poorly in an effort to get them to sleep with us.

Top Clinton aide Doug Band signals his concern over Bill Clinton's conflicts of interest

“I signed a conflict of interest policy as a board member of cgi ... Oddly, wjc does not have to sign such a document even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home etc.”

Do you think conflicts of interest at the highest peaks of federal government are "benign" and "hardly criminal"? This is just one example of really shady stuff revealed in the leaks. IMO the Clinton Foundation sells political influence and that's illegal.

How about Sails? It's pretty damn good for Javascript as a Rails alternative, even uses some of the same context.
On the contrary; Rails was a massive innovation because it proved that opinionated, reasonable defaults ("convention over configuration") is how most people actually want to write software. For a CRUD app, Rails was a shining beacon of light, because it allowed you to crank one out in mere hours, instead of days of fiddling with repetitive glue code that you would've had to write instead in literally any other web framework of your choice. It meant average coders could be productive instead of overwhelmed, and competent coders could move on to different projects faster.

The GP post has a point. Almost every MV* JS framework starts from scratch because they all believe their slight variation of the paradigm is better than everyone else's, but the greater scheme of things they are more similar than different. When one comes out with a framework that in earnest changes how JS development is done -- and achieves some staying power -- things will be different from the myriad of near-equivalent-but-totally-incompatible choices.

Yeah, I've been using django-rest-swagger for docs, which has sufficed. Newer versions of that package use the schema-gen stuff from DRF.

(A slight annoyance I've found here: the CoreAPI schema spec doesn't seem to have a place to attach a top-level summary of the API, which is useful as a 'man page' for the rest of the API calls. Swagger does allow for that.)

DDG don't track your IP or log activity against you. Bang searches are simply redirects as far as I'm aware and thus !g is equivalent to typing straight into Google.

Word-wrapping dialogue
The way I do it on both Linux and Windows is: all the downloads go into Downloads folder. I keep the folder sorted by date (newest top) - 90% of the time I'm looking for something recently downloaded, and for the remaining 10%, I usually have an estimate in my head how old the file is, so I can do a visual binary search on the dates quickly. When I need to free up some space on the drive, I resort the folder by size (descending), and start deleting from the largest files down.

A long time ago (7-10 years ago) Web 2.0 was the craze. It was the beginning of making interactive web applications.

There were few major players that were even backed by companies: Dojo, Prototype, GWT, (and like 4 more that I can't remember).

These libraries were complicated and were generally component based with their own flair of inheritance. You could not iteratively enhance your existing web 1.0 app. You had to throw it out and start over again (the markup and all).

Then along came jQuery and I remember distinctly saying to myself this is the library because I can progressively/iteratively add it to our existing crap (circa 2006-10). I still pat myself on the back on being right about that library being successful (I actually forced a previous employer to use jQuery over GWT and Dojo).

Progressive enhancement is a great marketing point so maybe Vue.js will pull a jQuery :)

Personally I want Elm to take off but it doesn't really reuse existing knowledge.
This just requires the inability-to-rewind property of the blockchain, doesn't require there to be one centralized log of events and doesn't require protections against flooding with data (if we verify that the DNS records are correct at the point of inserting). This makes a certificate-transparency-like solution just as good and much less complicated (one can arguably call that blockchain, but usually people mean by that things that can support a currency).
Even as a longtime Apple fan and inveterate Microsoft-hater, I have to hand it to Satya Nadella and Microsoft as a whole. Their success is deserved. I work with basically the full range of Microsoft products in my job and what I see is that everything has improved lately. Windows is better, Office is better, their cloud offerings are better, and even the Surface is better.

Now, if they would only improve the licensing process for Windows so that it doesn't drive people insane, that would be amazing.

GMail is obnoxiously slow on most of the computers in my house; none of which are more than five years old. Several laptops, a few media players, et al. It's even slow on my new tablet when I use the desktop interface (because the mobile interface lacks necessary features). Chrome and Firefox both soar to max a core and cause the fans to scream for a good half minute while loading the page, then navigation and manipulation is excruciatingly unresponsive.

It's the same for most of Google's web services. They built them for themselves, and neglected to assure that they would work on the majority of the install base of PCs. It reflects poorly on Google's software development process and the quality of its management.
