The point of Semantic Versioning is to tell you something.

So let's say you have Compiler 5.3.2

It means that the important thing is compiler #5. Upgrading from 4 to 5 is a _Big Deal_. You may have to rewrite all your code.

Within 5, you have a version 3. 3 has features A,B,C which 2 doesn't have. Most additions go there. So it should be safe to upgrade.

Within that, you have bugfix #2. That _should_ always be upgraded, unless you rely on undocumented features.

So it's easy for me to tell if I should upgrade.

So upgrading from Apache 1 to Apache 2 may brake config scripts and .htaccess files. Don't upgrade on production build.

Upgrading Apache 1.1 to 1.2, See README, Should be fine, do a small test on your testing machine.

Upgrading Apache 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. Probably a security fix. Do so. Immediately.

---------

The OP's numbering system doesn't tell me anything. should I upgrade 5.4.3.2 to 5.5.0.0? Will it be safe? Probably not. You may have to schedule a full testing load just to be sure.

What about from 5.4.3.2 to 6.4.0.0? Same thing. You have to do a full testing.

And if you _really_ break old code, do everyone a favor and rename your project (So, no, please don't call Go C++ V.13 or something)

Conflict of interest
On most platforms python3's random use os level random? The suitable one on Window and /dev/random on Linux?

[ed: hm, no - not yet. I remembered discussions like this:

https://lwn.net/Articles/657269/

But looks like "secrets"[1] has the strong random.choice provider among others.

Probably the (minimal, dirty) change needed (for python 3.6 and later) is:

import secrets as r

But I can't test that right now. Thanks for calling me out on this, and having me do a quick search to check my assumptions.

I do agree that for this particular case, the pseudo-random generator seeded by system time might be enough (or at least better than "random" key presses) - but I don't like spreading bad patterns. And for any code generating many passwords, with the opportunity for an attacker to get a sample - this is likely very bad.

I wonder if you have ever been to the Bay Area. It sounds like your entire conception of it is from HBO's Silicon Valley. Most developers in the Bay Area are working 9-10 hours per day, not 16.

> Most of us Europeans strongly dislike touting.

This is a Scandinavian trait, not universally European. It's not even universally Scandinavian.

You're mad about something, but I can't figure it out. What is it?
I started my company as an LLC. Since it began in Pennsylvania, I registered as a PA LLC. Welp, I applied to Y Combinator and they accepted me, but it turns out they won't invest in LLC companies. I figure, no biggie, I'll just convert to a DE C Corp as I'd been planning to do eventually anyway. It turns out this isn't so simple for dissolving a PA LLC, and it is a several month process. I almost wasn't accepted into Y Combinator as a result because they aren't going to wait several months before making their investment, and was only able to attend because a very experienced lawyer found a loophole to convert my company into a PA C Corp.

I am still suffering headaches from this, even after my company shut down, because of all sorts of bizarre issues of being a PA C Corp. And since nobody knows anything about PA C Corporations, I can't use standard documents and legal advice is particularly expensive (and usually not the best).

Corporate law isn't always so cut and dry.
How to GET a BIGGER BUM LIKE THE HOTTEST CELEBRITIES HAVE

I spent ten+ years in a private Christian school in the US. We had special Christian-version science textbooks, daily Bible class along with all the regular staple courses, etc.

My take is that the conservative right has been taken over by an extreme religious element that has actively withdrawn from engaging with education, science, and non-religiously-affiliated institutions. Everything is extremely filtered and anything mainstream is to be avoided at all costs. So where are people from other ideologies supposed to come from if they're brought up to withdraw to their own parallel no-differing-views world?
In all US states you can sign up to inspect the election, including collection and counting. There are not many requirements other than registration, in California at least. IIUC, in many states, the ballots themselves become publicly inspect able after a certain period of time
Washington state will ding you in other ways to make up for the lack of an income tax...e.g. more property tax.
It's over 2 years. $20K or so after tax per year. A bit over $30K pre-tax.

Not sure what typical bonuses are these days, but I don't think that's out of line for a big tech company. Certainly stock grants can be much more than that, but it usually takes more than 18 months for them to amount to anything.
> I don't like 2FA either

That seems to be a rather dangerous position to hold these days. I personally dislike that googles 2FA is SMS based (unless there's a way to use e.g. Authy with it that I'm unaware of), but still seems that the only way to be reasonably safe is a strong password and 2FA.

I'll add that The authy app on the Apple Watch has made 2FA for services that support it rather painless.
Sorry about your experiences.

Purely anecdotal but I enjoy tech because I enjoy building things and the rabbit hole that is technology is near unendingly deep.

The salaries are great, benefits are great, paid time off is great. It's hard to complain.
Uber doesn't get to decide if they are in violation of California regulations.

As for the permit, there is no guarantee that Uber will get one if they apply for it; the state can refuse such an application. If they keep showing callous disregard for public safety, they may not even be around to get refused by the State of California.
The spleen is a solid organ. Imagine squeezing a solid ball made of foam or gelatin. It will tear as you squeeze it, as it can't flatten out like a hollow sphere could (i.e. your stomach, intestines, etc).

You have a number of solid organs, but the spleen and the liver are the most commonly injured, due to their positions on opposite sides of your abdomen.

Splenic ruptures are fairly common with serious abdominal trauma. There is even a grading system...

Just to play devils advocate here. Assuming Uber gets a permit to test autonomous vehicles in public, how much risk has been mitigated as a result vs not having a permit and allowing them to continue testing?

Reading the legislation, the only requirement for the permit are:

- have insurance with up to $5 million

- the driver has a drivers license and has "Instruction on the automated driving system technology", as well as defensive driving training

Those both sound like reasonable, common-sense things to have. I'd also want a company testing their vehicle to have insurance and know how to drive their car. But at the same time if this permit didn't exist, how much less safe would the world be? Really?

They're not stress testing the software, they're not analyzing the code, they aren't testing the competency of the people who built the software, etc, etc. They aren't doing any of that for a good reason. So ultimately this is mostly just theatre or an exercise in letting Uber know who the boss is.

Because I highly doubt Uber doesn't have the insurance or experienced drivers. Nor do I think there will be any significant amount of tech companies wrecking havoc on California because they didn't think to buy auto insurance before starting an automobile software company, save a permit.
Easily cracked!

Cant you just deprecate the Old function, and remove it upon change ? If you mean 'keep bad behavior intact' (ie maintain bugs, that why you should have a spécification. 'the implémentation is the spécification' is very bad imo
I'm in tech because I'm an idealist and believe very seriously that, done right, technology can change people's lives for the better. For the record, I don't think I could be convinced work at Uber.
I think that sublime text 3 beta is like debian testing, they are more solid that some others lts products.

VScode and Atom are constantly receiving new features. So we can say that they are still in beta too.

Beta is just a word.
>That said, I don't like the aggressive gambling with pedestrians lifes like Uber or Tesla do.

We gamble with pedestrian's lives every time we get in a car.

No one has seen how these vehicles perform in real world scenarios. It seems very possible they could perform better than humans on average.

Republic: a form of government where elected officials exercise power on behalf of the public.

I would argue that kind of by definition, a republic is a representative democracy, though it's possible there are representative democratic governments that aren't republics.

The US is a republic, which is a form of representative democracy -- much like Im a mammal and a eukaryote.

The end of your comment of course is just a non-sense ad hominem. I don't support the Republican party, but your need to other and slander people you don't agree with is troubling.

And yes, people are self-entitled idiots. You, me, everyone else. That's why, even with it as our full time job, a support staff, and the genuine motivation to make a difference, we couldn't keep up with the actual complexity of every vote. Expecting the average person to do what a professional with staff can't is ludicrous!

Now, there are lots of ways we could use technology to better harness the public for decision making, but having them vote on everything would just be a disaster.
I miss running.

>Now Uber has finally hit a regulatory wall which it won't be able to pay off.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just can say "sorry, misunderstanding", apply for a permit like everybody else and continue with a bit more oversight.
The Value of User Experience Monitoring for Mobile Apps
Okay... So how is this evidence that the world is small?
eBay does that as a service, it's not hard to ship to international sellers via eBay.

So it's perfectly inline to refuse to ship to such address via eBay.
I sell phones and other electronics on a semi regular basis. Usually the only problem I have is people who send obviously fake PayPal emails and request the phone be shipped overseas.

No longer accepting addresses outside of the US helped reduce the spam.
By emphasising local and by using the other details that they know about people to filter out fraudsters. Plus the long tail is filled with interest groups. Facebook already manages many of these groups and getting kicked out of such communities can be very costly.

> eBay still gets paid so no one wants to be in charge of a revenue hit. I doubt that's changed.

That sounds like a class action suit waiting to happen. Or, a RICO lawsuit, where the government can pretty much prove that eBay is in cahoots with hordes of scammers.
Maximum breaking is still a possibility but you can do things like assume you won't get cut off and you can safely ride someone's blind spot and assume they will see you. Things like that.
How true is this? Somebody could just take a picture of their ballot (under the threat of violence presumably). Sure they're not supposed to, but at this point we're relying on legislation - where the legislation could say employers aren't allowed to ask for employees voting wallets. Maybe I'm missing something.
I used to wonder what people meant when describing "magic code" but after using a dynamic language MVC framework and seeing how things can be done different ways I have realized that mostly what people mean by that expression is using strings to indicate what code should be called rather than the features of the language. I'm somewhat undecided still on what to think of these sorts of patterns.
It sounds like they did.

Ask HN: Which Common Lisp for 2017?
I'm planning to install Common Lisp on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) in the near future. Wondering about the advantages and disadvantages of the various implementations. For what it's worth, I'll probably use Emacs absent a compelling reason to use something else.
He said he used UPS Pack and Ship. Which should be even better proof than the video you described, since it is a third party vouching for what was put into the box.
He will never be trusted again. The only way he as an individual can bring trust back to Reddit is to step down as CEO and resign in disgrace. Only then will people begin to believe that he feels remorse for his actions.
Fair enough, I guess it's about differing usecases. The few labels that I do use on gmail are set up such that they are indistinguishable from folders (if they match a filter, they don't go in my inbox, and I don't have any overlapping labels). I also rarely have lingering draft emails, so I guess I've not noticed that particular issue (though I do use Mail.app, not thunderbird). Gmail's imap support has been adequate for me since they introduced it however long ago that was. YMMV

Edit: my point about standards compliance for gmail imap was purely about it actually working with third party clients, I've always known that it doesn't conceptually work the same way as a standard imap server.
He did. You are still required to accept returns if buyer claims the item is not as described.
I switched from Marketing to Computer Science because I got tired of writing multiple page essays based on a few sentences out of a textbook and I wanted to be in a field of study where I was judged by what I could or couldn't do rather than by how many buzzwords I could fit in an essay.

But there's plenty of other reasons to be in tech: The promise of money is almost as good as the finance industry; The ability to touch a lot of lives and improve people's quality of life is another possibility; The desire to understand technology as it exponentially permeates our lives was another aspect of my decision.
If they did, you'd think the government would be cracking down on unlicensed taxi services (which is what Uber really is) as an immediate and clearly illegal threat to the regulated market which taxis were originally promised by the state.
If you're caught though there's a good chance you were seen taking pictures and those pictures not being present is going to be quite obvious. Also, if camera makers add this feature than those confiscating camera equipment will know about it.

I don't really see how you can technologically avoid personal harm if you're in a war zone [or similar] taking imagery that some people don't want publishing and you're captured in that process. Harming you is the standard way of stopping you continuing to defy such people.

Not being able to destroy the images taken is good, but it's not going to save cameras and people from being smashed up IMO.

I don't have the context here to understand what's going on by I feel bad for the author that their work was plagiarized. With that said, why didn't the author have a signed legal NDA in regards to the document?
What I do to protect myself is record a video of me packaging and shipping the item.

I record the video at the post office itself, and of course include a shot of the post office.

Start the video showing a closeup of the item, then record yourself packaging and sealing the box, and putting on the address label - then very important record an image of the address label, and finally walk it over to the drop box, put it in, and pan wide to record the building.

Make SURE never to have the item go off frame or people will say you pulled a trick.

The post office where I am is open 24/7 and deserted at night, so it's easy. When I shipped UPS the guy looked at me funny and warned me he didn't want to be in the video, but other than that I was able to record (and I included the tracking receipt I got from them in the video).

It's a lot easier if you have a second person holding the camera, but it's also possible with a tripod, or even just holding it if you prepare all the tape stuck on one side of the flap so you can work one-handed. Do a test shot to make sure your video camera is good enough that you can actually read the address label - and even better the serial number on the product.

Keep the video for a long time, several months.

I've never actually had to use any of the videos I've made, but I keep making them anyway.

Evaluating the Role of Cloud-Based Network for Your Business
My guess is that the levels of these systems will differ. Some systems will be better than humans (on average), and some systems will be worse. The gamble I mention is that Uber and Tesla are putting too many machines on the road at once without having good priors for their current level of competence.

I agree Valve Lab is my favorite experience, but it's available natively on Oculus Rift as well through SteamVR. And I have no issues with the 2-camera setup for a medium-sized play area. At room-scale, Oculus already recommends 3 and is not trying to claim that 2 camera setup is ideal.

I don't own a Vive but I've spent a good amount of time using my friend's and the display of the Rift is superior (and even he agrees). The Vive used to be a better overall package because of wands, but Touch is better (and battery life is FANTASTIC).

It's decent, but far from perfect. Working are: Intellisense, go to definition, some type information on hover.

Sometimes, however, autocomplete doesn't work. (If the file is too big, or if you use macros, both of which are very common in rust.) I found the type info tooltips to not be super precise. There's no live error checking, or at least I couldn't get it to work. I also couldn't get auto formatting to work, but I didn't try much. (Since I can just do it from the command line, anyway)

I wish it had more documentation-related features.

This advice is wrong.

A C-corp deducts officer salaries. Officer salaries are not taxed twice in the manner the OP states. Assuming there are any profits that remain after officer salaries, and assuming those profits are not kept in the business as retained earnings, and assuming the company decides to pay those profits as dividends, then they are taxed twice.

A C-corp can provide a clear separation between business and business owner(s); and among various owners.

Ask an attorney what to set-up and be clear with them where you think/hope your company is headed.

UPDATE: Its not that other structures don't provide this, its that OPs characterization of C-Corp structure isn't right.

It's really cool that you do that. I hate when hardware ends up in a landfill, when somebody can use it.
They insisted the previous corporation had to first be dissolved. I am not a lawyer, but I believe this is just standard practice. I suppose it's because there can be objections from investors in the original LLC if you take money in a new entity, and in very bad situations (which are probably very unlikely) that could lead to lawsuits. I think lawyers are just trying to do things properly to avoid these sorts of things.
