> When a capable person on your team wants a role bigger than her past experience, do you give her a shot or do you simply hire someone with more experience?

This spoke to me the most as I've seen this happen at multiple places. lack of growth seems to be the most common reasons for employees leaving (apart from stagnating salaries) and that's something a company can easily invest in

You want to argue with me about something you're apparently unfamiliar with and also want me to direct you to basic information about it you can trivially look up yourself? Please, for your benefit and for the benefit of basic politeness, do a bit of the legwork.

As in a similar tutorial for Ubuntu? If that's what you're asking, then not really. Pretty difficult to learn an OS. Though you might be able to find some similar stuff for bash or vim if you look hard enough.

I started using Dropbox for notes too, except I ended up just creating a folder structure of Markdown files in Sublime. I figured Sublime was a good way to go because it is already always open for work stuff and it's got decent searching capability.

For mobile (more for reading, not creating), I use MarkdownX (free) which integrates nicely with the Android Dropbox app.

For clipping links into my notes on desktop, I use a Chrome extension called "Copy as Markdown" which creates a nicely formatted link for my notes.
Why? So it can be better than an IT Manager?
Super amazing, what does it sounds like? I 100% cannot do this or even imagine what it's like. People think it's unusual that I can deeply "feel" other people and truly "see" objects in front of me in 3D space. If I listen to music I get intense graphics/movies/colours. I'm also dyslexic so I can/do strongly believe in neurodiversity.
I think dismissing it because the current implementations are still startlingly awful after several years, with really obvious feasibility problems for their posited use cases, is fair enough really.

At this point the burden of proof really is pretty much entirely on the blockchain advocates. Bring a technically feasible use case to the table.

I think a significant portion may be military spouses. It's very difficult for a new mom, even more so if the father is recently deployed and there's no other family close-by.
I also experience this.
The agreement with the CTO was to have a raise after 6 months. There was no previous agreement of a specific number, just a "raise".

After 6/7 months I went to talk to one of the founders about that specific issue, i.e. that I was promised a raise, and that I wasn't expecting anything below 20%. I came to know during the time that I work there that was being paid well below my coworkers (and the market rate in general for my position).

Their response was that I would only get raised on the next company review (still some months to go, but note that I was promised a raise after 6 months), the raise would be around 2%-3% (note that I said to them, quite direct, that I was being underpaid, at least 20%), and the project manager even said that I would be subjected to a performance review before they would give me a raise.

So they failed me at least with 3 things: no raise after 6 months as agreed (still some months to next review), would not raise me enough so I would still be underpaid, and I could even not get raised because I would have to be reviewed first..

Basically, I quit on the next working day, and one or two months later, most of the team got laid off, so there was bigger problems on that specific company..

Especially in Python, which is what Pixie is written in.

I don't think a performance-driven developer would have picked Python in the first place.
I have been experiencing this . I tried searching for terms related to synthesia but couldn't find anything . I tried the test but I am in a car but I believe I was able to perform the task. I agree that it is a faint sound but also I know that it is a result of what I am seeing .

I hate seeing jarring animations on websites especially above the fold.

>That's a partial answer to only one question which, if a quick google search is correct, ignores all but the easiest problem: BIP38 appears to offer a way to backup a primary key using a printout and a memorized passphrase. That doesn't answer what happens if they lose one of those two things, much less what happens if someone malicious gets either the primary or the backup.

Bitcoin's slogan is 'be your own bank' which means you're ultimately responsible for your own security. If you're hacked, you're hacked. This is no different from modern day identity theft.

>Remember that I didn't say your favorite toy sucks, only that not everyone else has your level of appreciation for it. Most people aren't going to put serious amounts of money into something which they don't trust and the status quo works fairly well for the average person: increasingly few people carry significant amounts of cash, most people use bank accounts and credit cards, etc. which means that the maximum cost is usually either capped or otherwise (e.g. you lose your ATM card but the recovery cost is only the time it takes to go to the bank with photo ID).

Bitcoin isn't ready for the average user, much like computers in the 80s weren't ready for the average user. That isn't stopping developers who can see the writing on the wall.

I think there is a very good argument to be made that traditional currencies are not as safe as they once were as the federal reserve continues it's historically unprecedented experiments.
What do you mean when you say "a Markdown supported editor"?
Non-destructive editing is overrated imho. If a user has been saving files all along reverting back is easy. They can even import certain layers if it's only a 'partial reversion'.
The reasons why Presto coped with less memory are complex and not really down to carefulness (there's plenty of resources put into memory consumption in both Blink and EdgeHTML), but reasons of architectural decisions that led to comparatively poor performance (JS-heavy stuff especially!) and site compatibility bugs (using different types for things that are web observable, especially), and some that led to comparative instability (heck, Chrome esp. has UI lagginess with large numbers of tabs due to IPC, but gains stability and the ability for multiple tabs to be doing stuff at once as a result).

Vivaldi is mostly formed of ex-Opera employees (esp. early, long-term ones!), and I expect they're getting comparable salaries to when they left Opera, at least (i.e., a bit below market average for the cities they're in). Why are they using JS? I can't really tell, beyond a desire to use web-technology as much as possible; I'd totally agree TypeScript or Flow would be better!

Engineering is the bottleneck in Deep Learning research
Yes, totally possible. Right now extensions are data based. But there is another breed of extensions we're building towards, which is "previewers" or "renderers", which allow you to parse the text and display it in any which way. This will be coming pretty soon, and will replace the current built-in Markdown editor with an extension. Trying to remove as much built in dependencies as possible.

the videos are linkable back to youtube via the logo now :D

i think the main side effect is if you accidentally click the video, it stops, which ruins the illusion of a continuous live stream (like television), but that's the tradeoff at the moment i guess ever since the old embed api was deprecated.

Resending and reencrypting the message mean the same thing here, I don't understand the distinction. Once the user okays the key change it can be resent by encrypting with the new key, before that it would be blocked from being resent.

I know nothing of the signal protocol, but whether the server can tell the message is garbage depends on what the receiver client tells the server. An ideal client would acknowledge receipt to the server but show the user an error (or silently drop the garbage message). From the quote it seems like this is the case, in which case the server can't tell a true message receipt from receipt of garbage and the correlation doesn't work.
I'm just getting started with Electron, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how is that different from the updates endpoint getting compromised (for apps with auto update enabled)?
What I would really like to see would be Realm in the browser. My experience using it (for mobile development) has been so much better than what I went through with IndexedDB as web developer that it is not even funny.

Now that Realm is entirely open source it could even be a real possibility to have support for it build into web browsers.
It's not an "opinion" about which people can reasonably be on different pages in 2017. It's transphobic and disgusting. And of course i'm getting downvoted for speaking out about it, because this is, after all, Hacker News.

To be honest with you, I just about fell out of my chair reading your comment. Seriously, this is the first time I've posted a relevant quote from Ayn Rand on the web and received a substantive and thoughtful response.

I will have to think on the points you raise.
> it's a set of specific (not general) rules for evaluating statements of language

Not the OP, but you could say that no "language" exists outside of "reality", and stretching it further you could also say that all types of languages (formal, mathematical, artificial/computer), including the associated "rules", are social constructs which depend heavily on the time and place of their "existence", i.e. on "reality".

Until we meet some quantum-like entity which might "talk" to us from outside the boundaries of this physical Universe we're doomed to be solipsistic: we construct "abstractions" that are meant to distance us from "reality" only to find out in the end that "reality" was behind those "abstractions" all along.
There are two camps as I see it.

People who recognise the threat from cheap AI and robot.

And people who think there is some hand-wavy magical force that will ensure that people will always be employed.

You can see that doesn't work now, you can see low income jobs are down, and while they are rising in China and India, those people are already being replaced by robots.
re: "But if the server could read your data, then practically any engineer of the company could read your data [...]"

A caveat: this tends to be true of startups. If you don't know who you're dealing with, it's probably a safe assumption to make. But larger companies often have internal permissions in place to prevent any engineer from reading user data.
Opera used a relatively small subset of C++ for compatibility with some diabolical compilers for embedded devices, so in a sense it's less surprising that modern compilers had no problem: there's very little complex going on.
Data Coding 101 – How to install Python, SQL, R and Bash (for non-devs)
It is not written in Python, it is written in RPython:

> So this is written in Python?
> It's actually written in RPython, the same language PyPy is written in. make build_with_jit will compile Pixie using the PyPy toolchain. After some time, it will produce an executable called pixie-vm. This executable is a full blown native interpreter with a JIT, GC, etc. So yes, the guts are written in RPython, just like the guts of most lisp interpreters are written in C. At runtime the only thing that is interpreted is the Pixie bytecode, that is until the JIT kicks in...
People's identities are not a "political inclination" and to say they are is transphobic.
I'm glad they never released HL3 yet ; maybe they (collectively ?) feel they need to find something really new and exciting before releasing a new HL.

There's a big difference between McDonald's and a high end restaurant, even if you just order a hamburger. McDonald's has already been working on automation. Have you noticed that humans no longer dispense drinks there? They are also working on getting rid of the human order takers.

For restaurants where one of the main draws is price I think automation is inevitable as a cost saving measure.
Red is basically Rebol rewritten with an important distinction. It comes with a sister language called Red/System that is basically a lightweight static systems language like C, but a lot closer to Red. Therefore, you can run the interpreter or drop down to native code when you need it. The 1.0 release should AOT compile what it can, then JIT, then lastly interpret what you have to. It is hoimoconic like lisp, but not a lisp. There is no install, just a 1 MB interpreter and compiler that can target a lot of architectures. The draw GUI DSL is pretty amazing. There is a Rebol YouTube vid (Red is 98% compatible) where a guy makes a zillion little cool apps with only a few lines of code each.
> Snowden was very selective, and look where that got him...

Snowden leaked to people who were more selective than Manning, at least. And we don't actually know where it would have gotten him with the legal syste, since as well as learning "how to leak" from Manning's negative example, he also seems to have learned "where to be when the leaks become public" by the same method.
with a quick pointer from Mithaldu, the videos are now back to being linkable via the logo. see my response to him regarding some thoughts on this.

WebCrypto is security theater. The server could just swap the JS for a version that decrypts your secrets client-side and uploads the plaintext (or just uploads the key) to the server. Next time you hit the page your secrets are compromised.

Also, if you use "50% of the user’s disk space" you can go fuck yourself.
I think it's meant as in comparison to Scala and the like, which run on the JVM, and thus aren't "native" in the same way (right? or am I misinformed about Scala?). There's a lot of languages that sit on top of the JVM at this point, so they might have seen it as a distinguishing characteristic.
According to what theory of jurisprudence? Why are assault and murder treated differently then?
Don't until you need to. If you are planning to leave your current job then look at job offerings in the market and learn the tech needed to get one of those jobs. And since the technology underlying whatever tech is currently fashionable hasn't changed the last 50 years, it will be relatively easy to learn enough to get a job. The rest you learn on the job when solving specific problems. I would instead focus on learning the core tech that hasn't changed for 50+ years. Including functional programming, logic programming, how a computer fundamentally works (NAND gates) etc. What you learn from that will never become obsolete. You just need to translate what you learn into whatever the latest fashion framework/language call it and ignore the false hype.

Please note I never claimed it was. I believe as you do that language is important. That includes choosing language I think will accomplish my goals, which is to encourage people to reflect and think about the issue. I don't think using language like "fucking disgusting" and "transphobic" are likely to convince the people you hope to reach to do anything other than get defensive and dig in. Do you?

And Hacker News will downvote tone and civility, regardless of the opinion. It's very easy to see that as an attack when it's happening to you. I see the same behavior on all sides of issues. When I find myself getting particularly heated, I find it better to refrain from commenting at all, not because I'm afraid of getting downvoted, but because I know it's not going to lead to any useful discussion.
Also, this was way back in 1998, when what we would consider sloppy today was par for the course.

Also poverty. Most of these questions are highly political.
It does not take any hand waving -- you're trying to redefine a standard variable. U-3 is the 'headline' unemployment number which is near 5% right now. There are plenty of other ways to calculate it, including at least 5 published by the BLS. All of them tell the same story: people who want jobs, historically and barring recession, have been by and large able to get them, even if the job itself is not ideal.

Your 50% number is more commonly called the 'labor force participation rate' and it's near 63% right now [1], but has trended down for the past few decades. I would argue (as Keynes did) that if work force participation falls and standards of living continues to rise (or stay flat) then society is having good results.

If i cared about convincing techbros i would probably use different language, yes. As it is, i think this community has a whole lot of really horrible people in it who think they are Very Rational And Smart and can't be taught. And i'm a woman, so they're doubly not going to listen to me. So i don't bother wasting my energy, mostly.

Like, i genuinely don't believe most of the people here are actually educable. I think they will continue to be sexist and transphobic forever and that trying to convince them to be otherwise is a bottomless sink of time and energy.
I ask this seriously and not cynically: What are you trying to achieve with these comments? Are you hoping to educate people? Are you trying to scold people for not knowing better? The content of the article isn't about Manning's gender association, but your comments are only about that. I would suspect any downvotes are simply because it is off-topic..?
I agree. I spent quite a few years working in Digital Preservation, and what we found is that as evil as you paint them, a big corporation with lots of money will outlast an individual with pure motivations. That's why we can still read DOC files today.

Speaking realistically, investing your personal data in this project is currently a much greater risk than using Evernote.

To say you have no examples is to simply stick your fingers in your ears. Many spring to mind, including "no-go zones" in Europe controlled by muslims, and their recent reporting on the amount of food stamps believed lost to fraud. They had to retract both stories on air.

Fox News viewers are consistently the least-well-informed of Americans in surveys. It would be difficult to dismiss that fact as simple coincidence.
When it comes to prescriptive definitions for words in the English language, I trust the concurrence of Merriam-Webster and Collins a bit more than I'm willing to trust your word. You won't convince me otherwise. If you feel a whistleblower who also causes unrelated data to be leaked "doesn't count," you are welcome to take that point of view up with the publishers. Have a great day!
> Maybe skilled professions will be protected - I can't imagine robots being able to program computers for awhile.
