I agree that's a silly scenario. That didn't stop it from being their exact position in San Bernardino. They were using it to prop up the All Writs Act as a tool to force any telecom to provide backdoors or exploits for them. They wanted it as a precedent. It would make their job so much easier. They bullshitted the courts saying they needed Apple's help, Apple resisted well, they backed off, and then then they suddenly could crack it anyway. Tada!
I was cynically implying lavishly successful business people are often shrewd, calculating, and clever insomuch as any generous gift is likely also a form of investment
My PVM-2530 was hell to get.

The first one shipped and had massive geometry and brightness problems. Every few minutes the entire screen would flicker -- like the image would zoom in by 5%, zoom out by 5%, repeat -- really disorienting. I took it to a local place that actually repaired them. Guy charged me $200 to replace some voltage regulators. It fixed the brightness but the image still flickered every few minutes. He wouldn't touch it again unless I paid him again.

Then I found a guy two states over selling two of them for local pick-up. Drove eight hours each way, got them loaded up and taken back. One of the two had the flyback transformer failing, and had a massive gauss problem at the top of the tube -- degauss only barely helped it, and it'd come right back every time. The other one seemed to be in good condition. I don't know how long it will last, and I always feel a bit guilty using it, knowing I'm wearing down its remaining life.

The 2530s set me back around $700 for all three plus the failed repair attempt.

I do also have a working 2030, and two 1390s. The 1390s are too small to be usable, but I can put them up on my plant ledge, so I'm keeping them for posterity.
1. I get the difference you're talking about between an instance (identity based) and a value. My question is exactly about a value based oop language, more like 'Value Oriented Programming Language' with modelling and patterns similar to oop languages. C# has struct types, so does many languages which have mechanisms to disallow state mutation but they are all optional. You can pretty much do oop modelling with them all.

2. On Ruby, is it possible to have functions on hashtables, just like methods on objects? Is it possible to define a Person hashtable and a Car hashtable and type system pick up the difference? It would be a hack to code like that if idiomatic Ruby code is not built around hashtables.

3. I see your point not to get hung up on dot syntax, my question was out of curiosity. I do like object modelling and wished if I could continue with a paradigm I'm so familiar with without its warts (side effects).
Autodesk had this at their yearly conference a few years ago. It's pretty neat, but of course only one of the arms was working when I tried to get a drink!
Not even what I was talking about, but sure go right ahead and keep typing whatever you want.

If you get around to it, feel free to answer my actual question at any time you like.
If the employer says "Irish Need Not Apply"[1] and you take a job there because you are hungry, then you are desperate. If you take a job there because you have a nicer manager than you might have elsewhere, you have no morals.

Sometimes in life you are handed an actual moral decision. Choose wisely.

Like I said, if you are employed there and want to see if management will turn it around, that's fine. But eventually if the policy remains "Women Need Not Apply," you either leave or risk never being hired by a grown up again.

[1] Or in this case, Women

Do they keep you employed for that month? It's fairly common to extend your termination date for health insurance and visa reasons. If you aren't actually terminated, the 90 days wouldn't have started.
I'm halfway through this, and not only is the theory insightful and often unexpected, but it's incredibly engaging, incredibly so for such an academic work.
There is an invisible "sensor curtain" around the robots. I accidentally put my camera too far "in" and the robots stopped instantly. As soon as the attendant saw everything was OK (and helpfully explained to me what happened) she pushed a "resume" button on the control panel and they continued right where they left off.
Much of this thread is people arguing this is embellished, untrue, the cost of doing business, or a conspiracy. Not to fear, I think your side of nonsense is safely represented.

This is a tough topic and a lot of people make very broad generalizations that end up being very disingenuous to people who have ADHD. At the same time 15% of male children have been told they have ADHD while scientists estimate it's more like 3%. On one hand you have the camp that says more kids need treatment, on the other hand people think no one needs it. Just like everything in this polarizing world we need stop joining camps and focus on people who are suffering.
There's a bar in Santa Cruz that gives you an RFID bracelet hooked up to your CC, and you pour however much you want from >30 taps on the wall. Then you pay your per-ounce tab upon exit. Only beer and wine but a cool idea. Here's a link: http://www.pourtaproom.com/santa-cruz/

People always have the right to demand things. That's literally what Free Speech is.
Good idea. One issue I have is that I'm limited on the number of queries I can make to ITA for free. Google keeps jacking up the rates.

The question isn't whether they deserve the complaints, or about the minutae of charging, but whether people think that going from X -> Y is bad and going from Y -> X is also bad. If so, they're just being change-averse: ignore them.
Any idea what it costs?
Interesting points. I wonder if giving the customer visibility into events like "you data was successfully removed from X" would make a difference? Similar to peeking at your Spam folder now and again to see that it is working for you.

Also about the market size I imagine the market is just US? It seems other places, at leas Europe anyway has better laws to protect against these kinds of invasive services.
Surely you'd also agree that it's better not to quit if quitting means losing your house?

I'd like to see you explain your 'No Interview for Uber Alumni' policy to your boss when you pass over a perfectly qualified candidate purely because you hold a grudge against their ex-employer.

I know. I thought this meant that this Schadenfreude Fountain had dried up. Looks like instead the story is moving into Act II.
I mean 'right' in a social sense, you can demand whatever the hell you want but it doesn't mean it's socially acceptable to do so.

Also not everyone lives in America, and many countries don't have any constitutional protection for Freedom of Speech - my country Australia being a good example of this.
I suggest just taking it at face value - it's a warning. Don't swear again. Make it clear you regret swearing and being unprofessional in that instance and it won't happen again. I think that's the best way to go whether they're "building a case" or only wanted to issue you a warning.
Thank you. Flight buys: Not a big percentage. Very small. This was more about making something useful that I wanted for myself, which I did, and I did it just for Chicago. It emailed me every morning. I finally got around to building a page around it, however, and added other metros.
I think a problem is that complex apps are made with scripting languages. This nasty practice seems to have finally become widespread habit in earnest with Perl in the hey-days of CGI httpd, and then of course came along Python and JavaScript and here we are!

I agree that strongly & statically typed languages allow for and indeed yield more robust ecosystems and complex apps.

But scripting languages have their place, roughly at the level of bash/.sh/.bat scripts IMHO .. the issue is that as LoB apps evolve from "simple one-off experiments" and "just a quick'n'dirty prototype to see if-and-how" to "mission-critical infrastructure" there just seems to never be a good time for anyone to say "we stop here, let's transfer this to a more stringent language early on first now, better today than too late".

Best would be if "scripting languages" actually had Haskell levels of type inference, even if not the rich type system, this way there wouldn't be type annotations (just like in scripting) BUT with a toggle-able "scripting-like lenience" that can be turned off to make the type-checker brutal, or initially during prototyping/scripting turned on by default to allow for ambiguous / uninferable / defer-to-runtime-and-allow-unsafe-conversions RAD-style work. With an additional middle-ground setting where it's still lenient but emits console warnings to review potentially troublesome sections.

Someone should create a whole new scripting language just for that! Any takers?
Quitting doesn't mean losing your house. You are being silly.

If it gets to the point where I blacklist Uber employees, not only will my boss know it, but I'll probably show him the resume so we can have a laugh. We have company policies about discrimination and would never take a risk on someone who was okay with working at a company that clearly does discriminate.

I would really like to see this happen. Without an EULA, is it even possible?

Perhaps the next generation of cryptocurrencies can have a simple EULA that prohibits exploitation and can be used to firewall off stolen coins.
I concur. If you want to burn fat do resistance training.

Think about the energy it takes to move something heavy from one place to another. That's the energy you're burning when you do resistance training. Cardio is great and necessary for fitness, but it's not the key to burning fat.
This is the format of all bills and lawyers have been asking for this for some time. It's a very hard problem to solve.
My general advice is to do integration testing after push.

You say that you value the testing harness having the same set of dependencies as your deployable artifact. With GCCB, you are not limited to one image with your build - it can be any number of them.

So, something like

1. build the deployable as gcr.io/project/service:${REVISION_ID}
2. build the testing harness as gcr.io/project/testing:${REVISION_ID}
3. build the db container as gcr.io/project/db:${REVISION_ID}

Then, you can spin up a test environment using the ${REVISION_ID} tags, and do your integration testing there with the same nice guarantees.

That all said, it's certainly possible to do fancier things within the build itself. Using the gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker build step, you can run any docker command. We haven't seen the need to directly support a docker-compose build step, but making it would be easy (different entrypoint on the docker build step) and it would automatically connect to the worker host's daemon.

You can also run several of these docker build steps in parallel, or run one that does 'docker run --name=foo -d ...' and have the others run with '--link foo:foo', etc.

We try not to limit the sorts of things you can do, and provide bonus features like the docker daemon's socket, service account credentials etc.

You don't even need to build a container image, if you don't want to. Just provide some container images and we'll run them for you, pipe the logs back to you, and let you know how it went.
In the USA, there's a fantasy Denmark that exists in the media.

In the fantasy Denmark, there's no crime, all the women are hot blondes who never get fat, there's cheap weed every where (and apparently free clean heroin), the furniture is sleek, all the men are feminists who never objectify women (there's no porn), the school system is fantastic (every child is good at math), the healthcare is free and high-quality, education is universal, free and high quality, and there are plenty of jobs for everyone (and high quality ones too!).

Pretty much like the rest of fantasy Europe.

As someone who has used the Makr Shakr system, not having to wait for waitstaff to come around, wait for them to write down your custom drink order, wait while they walk around and ask anybody else if they want anything, wait for bartender to make the drinks, wait for waitstaff to bring the drinks back to your table... a pretty slow process from start to finish.

The robotic bartender experience was far superior, and allowed you to customize your drink, save it for future ordering, and have it prepared with automated precision (so it tasted the exact same, every time.) And because you could queue up orders whenever you wanted, you were never looking around for waitstaff. It was great!

Admittedly this is a much different scenario than a bar in a college town on $1 draft night, but I don't think that's the target of this "first gen" robotic bartender.
why does this matter, I plan to keep coding into my 70s, no joke.

just keep learning and designing and coding the rest will follow, age is secondary I believe.
I don't unfortunately, I'm just told they're constantly down for maintenance. A typical new robotic arm is ~$80k-$150k (varies widely based on implements, programming, etc); unsure of the exact model RCCL uses, but even at the low end the install cost ~$200k considering equipment costs + tech labor on board.
Onthesnow / mountain news has good data and APIs, but I don't know how easy it is to get access (you have to go through a contact form), where I was using it, the contract had been setup many years before I joined.

Telling people not to lose their temper and behave unprofessionally in company chat rooms may be part of "healing" a previously toxic environment. I'd just take it for what it is, it sounds like you were correctly called out on some unconstructive behavior, apologize and move on, no big deal.
Refactoring Legacy JavaScript Code to Use Classes
We currently don't have direct support for secrets other than your service account's access tokens. We hope to support more arbitrary secrets in the future.

It's prejudicial and morally bankrupt to avoid people who are happy to work for a company which breaks the law in prejudicial ways?

That's not how basic logic and common sense work.
So nice to hear they are finally getting down to the time behind bars stage. I hope (although don't particularly expect) that this will have a chilling effect on other unscrupulous lawyers who shake down people using fraudulent constructs.
This market seems to over-reward profits (FB, NFLX, NVDA) and over-punish losses (TWTR, SNAP).
It's actually a relatively straight-forward fix to kill the "drive by" ADA lawsuit industry simply by allowing written notice of a violation to business owners and giving them time to fix it prior to allowing suit to be filed. Activist groups could still get violations fixed, but lawyers using it as a vehicle for raking in attorneys fees would be SOL. In the meantime, there's some progress at the state level with the courts starting to hit back against lawyers committing the most egregious ethical violations.
I don't have historical data but, anecdotally, from my current company's (smaller, though very well known) hiring practices I would not want to be a new graduate. The HR filter currently applied basically means we end up only interviewing foreign masters students from large state universities in the south. We aren't doing anything that requires a masters, the interview for our entry level positions focus purely on fundamental bachelor level CS proficiency.

I'm not sure why this is but I know if it were 8 years ago my resume would never have made it through the HR filter.
Not if they cash out during "IPO." I don't like the idea of a founder/developer pool, but if they are going to have one, there should be a vesting period, such that the granted coins cannot be moved for X years after receiving them. This will keep the incentive alive, and I think Ethereum would have a lot more potential if something like this was employed.
"If you could short every series A or B company, you'd make a killing doing so."

That's not really how shorting works. You'd have to find someone willing to let you sell their shares, you'd have to incentivize them to do so, you'd have to find a willing buyer, and you'd have almost unlimited loss potential.
Thanks. The idea was simply - what if you could publish a page by sending an email, but several use cases have come to mind since:

- The quickest way to create a simple web page.
- Blogging without having to create an account.
- Organisational email transparency - either within organisations, or publicly.
- Archiving email threads.
- Sharing long threads of correspondence without adding to the thread further.

Yes it is socially acceptable to call on people with moral failings to work on fixing them.

Is it wise for reporters that discover a covert program to disrupt North Korean missile launches to disclose the information? Seems like they want the credit for breaking a significant story more than they care about the delicate and dangerous situation with a rogue country that has nuclear weapons. I suggest they STFU.

You have it finding flights from SEA to YVR. That's basically pointless, it's 180 miles and I have a car if I drive up. Or train.

Cool otherwise.
How did these guys think they could keep the con running for so long? Being lawyers, you'd think they'd have some common sense.
Uhhh, no. The whole point of cryptocurrencies is that they are permissionless.

Government censorship of coins or transactions is an attack vector, not a feature.
Indeed, I do not think either that doctors need to worry much. AI will change our jobs for the better, that is pretty sure. Maybe we will earn a little less, but what of it?! Putting us out of work would mean handling the huge amount of technical details involved in our daily jobs. People (and HN is no exception to that) really, really underestimate that. The biggest problem is the amount of rigorous feedback you need to train an efficient system. The medical system is a long, long way from having such information retrieval capabilities. And then you have the physical procedures... Robots are also still have a long way to go on that one!
Yeah that was absolutely where I was going with it, I just had a number of people say that it was quite an over-reaction which is why I asked if anyone else had heard of such a response before.
Then there is Ze Frank's classic trilogy:

http://www.zefrank.com/christian/
http://www.zefrank.com/buddhist/
http://www.zefrank.com/atheist/
A simple example would be instead of this:

int temperature_a;
int temperature_b;

or even:

Temperature a;
Temperature b;

you would have:

Celsius a;
Fahrenheit b;

And an assignment between a and b would be an error, as Celcius and Fahrenheit are different types. Going along this path then, if you can extend the type system enough:

Yards width;
Yards length;
Acre size = width * length; /* this would be okay */

Yards width;
Yards length;
Yards height;
Acre money_bin = width * length * height; /* error */
/* as acre is a measure of area, not volume */

Think of the type of calculations that the Unix command 'units' does, but built into a language instead of an application.
This isn't entirely accurate. I told my RN Fiance this story and she said "oh 404, that's like... page not found or something isn't it?" She has zero programming experience.
For the record I've noticed the tone of reporting these days is a little different as well, personally. It is harder for people to demonize prescription drug abuse; you don't get quite as much of the broad stereotyping and Hollywood-ization that happened in the 1980s on this subject.

Yes, some people cling to old-fashioned hardened attitudes. But if you look at Gallup's poll on drugs (http://www.gallup.com/poll/1657/illegal-drugs.aspx), people are way more worried about prescription drugs and the related heroin epidemic these days. Way more than cocaine, certainly. It's not in the poll, but it's hard to remember when the last time the boogeyman of the 1980s (crack cocaine) came up in reports.

Support for marijuana legalization stands at 60% now, compared to the 1980s where support was at 25%. There is a large age gap in support, in marijuana at least (http://www.gallup.com/poll/196550/support-legal-marijuana.as... -- 55+ 45% support, 18-34 77% support).

Although I'm sure harder stances will linger onward, as it has in the AG's mind, the AG's stance is increasingly looking out of touch.
Yes, as a consequence, it also lets you do this:

time {
sleep 0.1
sleep 0.2
}
# result is 0.3 seconds

which you obviously can't do with an external command. I wrote about that here:

You're assuming a freedom of movement between employers that I think is a little bold, and you're coming across as a little flippant of someone's personal situation. I think that's odd and a little demeaning. Plenty of other companies have been sanctioned in the past for wrong-doing, and I think it's somewhat silly to write-off anyone who worked there after the sanctions. "Basic logic and common sense" would lead one to evaluate a candidate based on their individual skills, experiences, and situations - not on an assumption about their character based on where they worked in the past.
