We've gone full circle! This thing started as a stand-alone HTML page for dweets with ability to embed the code in the URL: http://arkt.is/t (hover to show editor). GitHub: https://github.com/sigvef/arktis-tweet-demo . Here it is with the same dweet embedded: http://arkt.is/t/Yy53aWR0aHw9MDtmb3Iobj0yMDA7bi09MS82NDt4LmZ... .

Incidentally, this is where the "dwitter" name came from: "demos" as in the demoscene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene) and twitter.
I'm well aware how to analyze a dynamically growing array (each insert "pays" for two moves in the future), but I'm not sure what you're getting at. The amortized complexity of appending an element to the end is θ(1), worst-case non-amortized θ(n) when the growing needs to happen.

look at the source. Something makes me think this will work in Netscape 4.

edit: nope. http://imgur.com/a/Jt38q not really.

edit 2: Here's a HP B-series PA-RISC from my closet running actual vintage NS-4, also no, http://i.imgur.com/tt7AYqj.png (the top window is a search for the term "cat")

Google however, almost still works http://i.imgur.com/kdTd1AU.png ... I give them an A. hn and kernel.org get a security algorithm error, reddit gets an i/o error as does craigslist and yahoo. wiki.c2.com has a perpetual spinner. netbsd here makes me sad to be such a fanboy: http://i.imgur.com/RxedDF6.png

http://gnu.org is totally acceptable, even in Netscape 3! http://i.imgur.com/RImHQjM.png

http://fsf.org errors at an appropriate place: http://i.imgur.com/g8TF8Uc.png but after that is usable.

http://berkshirehathaway.com loads perfectly and looks the same.

there are apps on the windows store that do the same. Why'd you want to use an exe?
Ask HN: What browser do you use?
Firefox is my main browser, and I am really fed up with the constant lag and slowness. Won't use Chrome because treestyle tabs baked into the interface is important for me. I have tried the various addons for Chrome that help with managing tabs, but they don't cut it for me. also, Chrome phones home. I know there are Chromium based alternatives that don't do this, but still - tree-style tabs. FF is also phasing out support for addons that support treestyle tabs, has been discussed here before. I'd like to know what other HN users use for their browser. Personally, I need treestyle tabs, lastpass, something akin to firebug, a session manager, something like foxyproxy, and a good adblocker.
As a percentage, how many US colleges would you say are excluded from the opportunities provided by "rigorous course of study"? Would you say you could get this kind of rigorous study at any university? If not, how many (as a percentage of all undergrad colleges)? Is this scalable/sustainable for the entire population?

> These services are basically luxuries. Middle class people with families aren't the ones using these services.

I use these services occasionally (2-3x/mo) for a family of five (DI3K). When you're outnumbered and have to play zone-defense against your kids, taking a trip to the grocery store at rush hour is neither fun nor productive (kids are usually hungry by then and late snacking = poor appetite for dinner).

I'd love to see the US cityscape turn into something more akin to Europe's (what you described), but I think you have to instead promote mass-transit (to be better) instead of making car transportation a hassle.

The flip-side though is that car and petrol industry do lobby to prevent electrified mass transit from being viable.
You moved to another platform or another terminal?
>Building one more explosive-drone is probably cheaper than raising and training one more bird, so an attacker would just send N+1 drones against N birds

I'm not sure terrorist organisations, people using drones to fly over restricted airspace (many french cities are), etc, have the same budget than western miltaries...

This isn't a typo, but is part of the syntax used by the TZ variable. (The same format appears in the article itself.)

See `man timezone` on a Linux system[1]. Specifically, see the passage that I've quoted below. Note that this is the third of three different formats that the man page describes that you can use in TZ:

> The second format specifies that the timezone information should be read from a file:

:[filespec]

> *If the file specification filespec is omitted, or its value cannot be interpreted, then Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used. If filespec is given, it specifies another tzfile(5)-format file to read the timezone information from. If filespec does not begin with a '/', the file specification is relative to the system timezone directory. If the colon is omitted each of the above TZ formats will be tried.

No it is not. However, it is totally irrelevant for 99% of jobs require programming skills. Being 15 years in this business I haven't seen linked lists being used for any particular problem, but I understand that when you work in the right industry it is invaluable. If I had to implement it I would probably use a library and I would educate myself on the subject. I usually find programmers running into many other issues that don't show up during interviews.

Few questions I usually ask:

- How can you make sure that your Java application runs on the server not only on your laptop? (I take any answers: containers, single JAR, etc.)

- What is printed out

def add_list(val, list=[]):

list.append(val)

return list

print add_list(10)

print add_list(20)

print add_list(123,[])

- Explain recursion

Funny to see how a non-trivial amount of programmers fail to answer these questions.
Can you describe your product's attributes in a little more detail?

I had a niche product that went "viral" within its small community. We immediately had people trying to imitate us, and most failed so badly that their products didn't work at all and any gains they made were quickly rolled back; ultimately, these copycats only served to promote our actually working product further, so they were net good things.

A few key people who controlled large platforms in this niche spurned us, presumably because they intended to copy our featureset at some point, and actively removed any reference to our product. Despite this, we had continual growth with relatively small marketing budgets.

After about a year, a competitor whose product occasionally worked emerged and despite being much worse than us along every conceivable axis, they cannibalized our niche market within 2 months using spammy marketing tactics (astroturfing, fake followers/likes, SEO link rings (now called "Private Blog Networks" in SEO parlance)). They also forged alliances with some of the niche platforms that refused to allow discussion of our product (though these companies ignored similar offers when I tried to make them). The new competitor eventually spammed so thoroughly that they caused a PR issue for a large company whose data this sector depended on. My company and all others that occasionally functioned in this sector, which at this point included me, the spam company, and 3-4 atrocious copies of the spam company, were all shut down by legal threats from this large company.

The point of this protracted story is that it seems that any business that could go from 0 to millions would be immediately bombarded by imitators, spammers, and copycats, whose superior marketing game would destroy the original company as long as they can imitate 10% of the necessary core functionality. Did you have defenses against this? If so, what were they?
My claim about them not presenting any white males was from another time - do you recall by any chance when it was? As I explained, the sample size I used now was small, and a few pics can have made a big difference. I think when I made the claim there were different pictures, that is why I said more data should be looked at (to reduce random variation). I probably wouldn't have made the claim about the current timeline.

And again - I only used one simple metric, which already shows bias (it doesn't represent the actual demographics of Google employees). You assume now that metric is conclusive because it fits your conviction. By looking into more aspects the picture would be more clear.

And where do I not give latitude to other people?
You can't really find out in advance if someone intends to overstay their visa by surveillance. Surveillance is not magic, and mass surveillance has a problem of collecting huge mass of junk, and no agency, even NSA, would have resources to sift through this junk enough to find trivial matters like intent to overstay visa, even if that information actually was there. Surveillance may be useful to detect highly anomalous behavior, or to detect connections between people (e.g. is Mr. X connected to known terrorist Mr. Z?) but I don't see how it can be useful in trivial matters like immigration enforcement.

What happens when that non-Google entity decides to no longer support the project? Now you're dependent on two organisations continuing support instead of just one.

It sounds like the project code is all publisgedcthough, so it should be possible to operate a private or alternative upspin network.
Thanks for the advice, will definitely do that - 99% perspiration right?
Thanks for the reminder - I often forget to use those (or properly). Any good ways you've found to automate pomo timer set/rest/reset through bots?
I don't know, there's a lot of counter examples in there too. Lots of people jumping ship, immigrating, switching alliance, etc.

There's also examples of multi-tribal membership, like belonging to multiple groups at ounce. Such as your family, your sports team, your city, country, etc, but also things like multi citizenship, mixed race, etc.

You've also got examples of tribes growing massively in size to the point that it's bigger then our social circle. The US is a great example, it's bigger then anyone's social circle, yet people identify at its level and are united within.

I can as easily claim that humans are not inherently tribal, but are inherently lead to organize in ways they believe most beneficial to themselves, which often times leads them to tribes, but not always.

Being in a somewhat similar position (looking for my first 'real' job in the field of security),
I have more or less the opposite problem.

After setting up a profile on sites like Xing (works best for Germany) or Linkedin and adding some relevant buzzwords, you get basically swarmed by recruiters. The offers from recruiters might not be the most interesting, but you still can use them to get some information and feedback.

Just show that you have a personal interest in security.
For Example I have myself participated in a bunch of bug bounties, hitting most of the big ones
(Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Paypal, Twitter, ...).
While finding big problems in the higher payed ones might be trickier,
there are always companies that just offer a thanks or some swag.
An alternative would be to look at open source projects and try to get some CVEs.
Of course this depends on what field of security you want to end up in.
On the one hand I agree with you, but on the other hand, not enough Americans even experience what it can be like to go through border control as a citizen.* Even for those who do care, chances are that's not going to be a priority compared to other issues.

*I've written before about my experiences having to go through border control after booking last minute trips. I've been living overseas for over 10 years now, and twice I've had to do this twice now - dealing with a glorified mall cop on a power trip when you're trying to get home to see your mother before she dies is a perfect way to make you despise everything about border control.
Thanks, was on slack a lot but ... slacked off - picking something with a small following is certainly actionable. Appreciate that.
I didn't minimize or dismiss any woman's story: the isssue here is the reference to imaginary women's imaginary stories. I can not dismiss an imaginary story, because it doesn't exist.

The issue is that because of bias against men, few people even realize that they are talking about completely fabricated assumptions in this thread.

And again: there are not even that many women who could tell such stories. I'd say 1 in 20 software developers at companies I worked for were female. So it is not a case of me not being told things by women on a significant scale. The women didn't tell me such stories because those women don't exist to begin with.
I use PuTTY and connect to a tmux server afterwards.. tabs / sessions / programmable interactions with the terminal are a life saver that tmux provides. Give it a try.
Predatory birds attack by dive-bombing. You won't see it coming even if you have an extra camera on the drome pointed upward. They also know how to dive out of the sun which means that they are invisible in the camera view. And their bones are irrelevant because the damage is done by their mass plus acceleration. Likely they are going to be flying with some kind of netting material that will tangle the blades as well.

And birds, even trained ones, might be considered expendable.

Not to mention that using birds does not mean that they will attack the drones. They might just find the drone and point out its position for a ground based missile or laser.

And people fighting against terrorist whose goal is to kill and maim people might be willing to sacrifice a few trained birds to stop the terrorist acts from succeeding.
Thanks - I'm in a central location so that's something I can definitely do.
yeah I went onto wikipedia after I typed that. I guess photoshop took over. I only used the amiga version, I seem to recall seeing all this extra stuff on the game disk but never really used it.
I'll chime in with a confirmation that, in my experience, too, an EE who "just routes them" is either not very good, or working in a dysfunctional organization. Performance isn't something that exists in its own bubble, it comes with clock and power requirements and the devices that offer "more" of it than other devices have to compromise on other things. If a company insists on enforcing a strict hardware/software team separation, both teams have to be involved in these decisions, otherwise the results are borderline catastrophic -- boards that can barely be programmed and debugged, or sub-optimal component choice, bad analog chains, difficult clock distribution etc., depending on who is more involved in the decisions.

Just like, past a certain point, it's impossible to do good embedded development on the software side without at least some basic knowledge of EE, there's no way you can come up with a good hardware design if you're completely ignorant about software development. It's no coincidence that the best engineers are the ones who can do both.
Can tmux start within the WSL?
Because it is deceptive to label something a 'service fee' which most people would assume to be charges for services rendered by the feet on the ground.

In other words, it is, by way of social conventions, implied that the money goes to the 'chimp in a grocery store' doing work on your behalf. There is nothing wrong with them adding fees all day every day as long as it is made clear to the customer that said fees are not actually benefiting the actual service provider and consumers opt-in to this transaction. The shady part here is where consumers THINK the services fees goes to the service provider when actually it goes to the broker.
How to Design Marketing Campaigns: The Importance of Market Segmentation

Unless it causes a very noticeable drop in tourism - not on anecdotal level, but on the level of millions - about 70M tourists visit US yearly, so to make noticeable change, it probably should be like 10M at least - there will be no change. Note that there are literally millions of citizens who don't get a dime from tourists, don't care too much about tourists, but worry a lot about (real or imagined) threat of terrorism. They'd kick out any politician they perceive soft on border security faster than you can say "TSA".
Starting or stopping Daylight Saving Time is not a timezone change. A timezone is — roughly — a set of timekeeping rules that some set of people use. DST is just part of those timekeeping rules. That is, your timezone is not the same thing as your UTC offset.

For example, the timezone America/New_York contains information not only about the UTC offset, but the offset during and not during DST, and when DST starts and ends. (And historical starts and ends to, so that UTC → local conversions (and vice versa) use the rules that were present at that time, not the rules that are present now, which may be different.)

E.g., my home desktop runs in the timezone America/Los_Angeles all year around. Most of my servers run in the timezone UTC all year. Both always have the appropriately correct time.
It is, but they're in the process of deprecating and removing its most powerful features, such as the "linked CSE", where you can specify the URL of an XML specification file that describes the domains and paths you want to search. The huge advantage of a linked CSE over their 'hosted' alternative, aside from convenience, is that you can generate this specification dynamically based on a user query. They also recently made a policy change disallowing multiple CSE queries resulting from the same user's search. (IE if you want to give the user search results with several different filter parameters.) Both of these changes had a fairly significant, although fortunately not critical, impact on our business. It really looks like the philosophy is shifting away from these sorts of flexible tools.

On the other hand, Bing recently released a completely updated version of their paid search API. So on the plus side it looks like they aren't ready to give up on custom search yet. On the downside, they've tripled their prices.
Free vs. Paid Backup Plugins
Capitalism needs to regulated, or we end up were we are now, where CEO make so much money, vs the combined work force.

Exporting jobs to places that have lack of birth control, is just exploiting the worker. Also exporting jobs, like IT, to countries to cut the bottom line, when the workers are not skilled enough, and what I feel, don't care enough to learn about stuff beyond what a script tells them, then it's bad. If they were outsource jobs to farmers in the middle of Siberia to design fighter aircraft for the US because they got an education on basic aerodynamics... "Round egg is better than square".

Resolutions by issue type? Talk about bikeshedding to the extreme

Atlassian is right in not addressing this kind of feature request
Adding a few more:

* Not giving up when your errors do lead to physical damage. Repair the heat exchange radiators that froze because you didn't test what happens when outside temperatures drop. Change the timing belts that snapped because of off-by-one mistake when estimating position of part on conveyor. Straighten the door bent by air pressure when your pressure/temperature regulator oscillates because it was tuned without taking sudden disturbances (opening the said door) into account.

* Staying motivated during the long product development cycles. Just when you think you're finished when manufacturing starts- there is still a lot of grunt work to do.

* Designing a logging system that stores enough information to pinpoint issues yet be lightweight enough.
There's also 300M+ people in US. Which means virtually none of these places relies only on international tourism. There should be a huge change in tourism for them to notice enough to actually lobby for political change. And such huge changes, even if they would happen - which is not a given, for each person who have read a horror story about a Canadian turned away at the border there are thousands of people who never heard about it - it would take a long time.
