Well, college seniors should have the easiest time getting a job at Google, since they are closest to the material that Google tests on and would have it fresh in their minds, so I wouldn't be surprised that many of them do get offers.

I have a feeling there's a significantly higher rate of failure for people who have been in the industry for 5-10 years and haven't had to most of the things they'd get tested on since college.

The point is they're scaredy cats who jump at shadows and create deadly situations out of things that aren't.

If they want me to care that they perceive things as life-or-death, they need to adjust their perception. Being scared of your shadow holding a gun and pumping a house full of rounds isn't something I'm going to think is reasonable, even if you were really scared.

Soldiers in literal warzones facing trained adversaries trying to murder them aren't as jumpy as cops in a suburban neighborhood dealing with normal people.

Cops need better trigger discipline.
Insulting is likewise precisely in the spirit of the first amendment.
Which programmer should I trust the most? The one who marked his code alpha or the one who used it in production anyway?
At some point, they'd make the patch, and discover they need access again for some reason. We'd be right back where we started.
The point of science is to prove things and refine them correctly; this hacker news comment is not conclusive proof that some small amount of alcohol is a net positive, let alone microdosing LSD. Contrary to your very clear positive statement, microdosing is totally unknown if it works at all.

These systems are incredibly complicated to prove anything in and we are so much more suggestible than we feel we are.

We can't even agree on what LSD should be increasing with microdosing, is it IQ, coding ability or concentration?
I second this, it's a great course.
This isn't an issue in any other developed country. People don't want to shoot cops. Even if it was a gun, they shouldn't have shot him
I'm sorry but the posts' author doesn't know what LinkedIn's value is and neither do most people in this field. Sales and recruiting, functions most engineers avoid. Saying it has only "the foundations" of a lasting business is naive at best. It is wildly dominant in its niche and will remain that way for years and years to come.

Yep, fell right into the uncanny valley.
That was my impression after the influxdb storage engine rewrite; I'm guessing the similarities are not a coincidence :)

I'm not sure how interested influxdb would be to the idea, given their shrewd moves towards monetization, but it would be nice if the storage engine could be developed as a component of influxdb and adopted into Prometheus(ala rocks, level, etc).
Paper, 2.3 released
In a public space, no. You have no right to restrict others from observing or recording.

It is not "your" business, according to the law. It's an event occurring in public and is everybody's business.
EcstasyData[1], which does the testing for DanceSafe[2], apparently has a DEA license:

"EcstasyData tests ecstasy tablets, powders, research chemicals, new pschoactive substances, and other street drugs through our DEA-licensed laboratory."[3]

You can also buy testing kits[4] for some drugs, like ecstasy, and do the testing yourself.

Looks like there is a test kit for LSD even.[5]

"Ehrlich's Reagent is a solution of hydrochloric acid, ethanol and p–dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. It can be used to positively identify LSD, helping rule out 25i-NBOMe, a highly toxic and extremely dangerous drug that is often misrepresented as LSD. Ehrlich's can also be used to identify other indoles. Contains enough reagent for approximately 50 tests."

I'm not sure if ruling out 25i-NBOMe is enough, though. Could there be other toxic substances that aren't caught by this test?

Still, some testing is much better than no testing.

Exactly, and even if they read, they will reject it and forget it.

However, in the old days, you could get away with fake news, and today, you can get away with fake news (even break the law, because it's the internet, and you can write in English and have .com or .us domain in whichever country you want), and it's even lucrative to do so!
I absolutely think you should be able to record the police. But following them around is potentially unsafe for everyone involved. It's also a good way to harass good people out of the profession (the worse a job is, the more you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to fill it). In addition, it absolutely can be a misdemeanor to harass people, government employee or not. No one deserves to be insulted.

The problem here is lack of reason on either side. People being unreasonable just escalates the unreasonableness on both sides of the equation.
You can almost tell by the attempt to write "legalese" that this guy was looking for trouble. Every other sentence is "clearly this", "clearly that"... no, it's really not so clear.
Not if the list is allocated within a slab, as described in the article. Imagine list elements allocated continuously (as in an array) but the ordering is decided by the pointers within each node, instead of assuming a fixed order. All the elements still are in the same cache line.
> Misguided ignorant people are surrounded by misguided ignorant people. If they are supplied bad info on youtube or on a social network, there is no corrective mechanism.

Let's say I don't dispute your first claim (though that also has no basis). How many mass atrocities or deaths have historically been tied to info on youtube or social networks? (please provide citations) - I'm willing to bet BTC that US drone strikes have killed significantly more (but it's okay we have a corrective mechanism!). Further what about the all the mass atrocities prior to social media, what was the corrective action there?

Would you have someone watch and advice these people? The People's Party? The Ministry of Truth? Google Department of Facts? The US Government? The very same government that e.g. tacitly supported genocide in Indonesia? [0]

Actually a great amount (if not the majority) of crimes against humanity have been carried out precisely by organizations and people with the kind of corrective ideology you are on here evangelizing.

I'm really quite surprised to be having this discussion honestly, I don't know if it's some mental culture of the Silicon Valley bubble or complete lack of historical knowledge or what...

Off Topic: that site is doing something I've seen on a lot of sites: not correctly taking into account that menu banner overlay on the top when the user hits space to scroll a page.

On Firefox it works correctly. The page scrolls up just enough to make what had been the bottom visible line become the top visible line.

On Chrome and Safari it scrolls a few lines too far. If I go in to the inspector and delete that menu overlay it is then clear that it scrolled the amount that would have been correct had the menu overlay not been there.

As I said I see this quite a bit around the web. I'm curious why. Is there a bug in calculating the size of the visible region in Webkit browsers in the presence of overlays? Are the sites using some non-standard CSS that is only supported in Firefox? Is this one of those things that you just have to have separate code for different browsers and these sites didn't realize that and only tested with Firefox so didn't realize they weren't done yet?

There is a difference between giving anecdotal evidence and speaking from years of experience. The latter is often the best you can get, and much better than set-up studies, for "soft" controversial or topics.

When listening to someone else's shared experience, just don't forget to understand it in context. Of course it's helpful to know a little bit about that person.
Let me opt then.
That's not a mindset, that's the actual, current state of the law. Police pulling you over without cause is considered by many judges, jurists and supreme court justices to be a violation of your fourth amendment rights to privacy and your fifth amendment rights to due process. The alternative to this is stop and frisk.

Yes, the law is muddied, and yes, there are many, many exceptions... most notably those as defined in Terry v Ohio (ie, Terry stops), but even with Terry stops, officers need to have a reasonable suspicion that you're either presently armed, or should be considered dangerous enough to warrant a stop.

It isn't extremism to interpret the law as it is written, and as it is considered by many courts to be valid, that requires police to need at least some mandate to being pulled over (whether a traffic violation, exigent circumstances) more specific than "this guy was black", or "this guy was poor", or what have you.

The problem is that with qualified immunity and deference, we allow the police to get away with a lot of stops that don't even meet the legislative standards we've set, and as we allow these things to continue, from one generation to the next, the standards for what is or isn't a valid stop gets lowered.

TLDR, if a cop pulls you over just because he can, and he cannot formulate a reasonable suspicion, then he has overstepped his boundaries in the eyes of the law, even where that law seemingly has bent over backwards to accommodate arbitrary stops.

Ask HN: Low performance impact way to toggle block a domain on OS X?
I'm looking to block time-wasting sites temporarily on my work laptop. I say temporarily because frequently i'll browse language specific subs via Google when looking for language libraries that people like, etc. Ie, Reddit does have work applications for me, and i can't purely block it entirely.

With that said, i'd love to help break my habit of alt tabbing and opening Reddit.com/r/all any time i hit compile or ran long running processes. Unfortunately my work laptop is very low RAM, and i fear proxies/etc that might slow things down more than i already feel it is haha.

What might be a good and performant way to do achieve what i'm after?

Thanks!

Why do you want to gain weight?

What kind of weight do you want to gain? I presume you want muscle rather than fat...

I'm a skinny guy, always have been. I gained a bit of weight when I got married, due to eating better. I gained more when we had our first child, due to lifting the kid, the carseat, and the diaper bag over and over. That's weightlifting, even though I wasn't in the gym.
From their website:

>Select a module to remove potential XSS strings

My reading of this is SugarCRM, which ships barebones like Drupal, has a whole ecosystem of poorly coded third-party modules you need even for basic CRM functionality. The core Sugar devs wrote this little script to run through module code and its db entries to find potential XSS issues. I imagine that this would break things so its a 'admin beware' type of thing they shouldn't automate. No one wants to upgrade to Sugar 5.2 from 5.1 to find half their modules broken, so its manual. Maybe in the future it won't be and its a shot across the bow to third-party developers to take security seriously.

That's the problem with these popular bare-bones FOSS frameworks. You get a decent core product like Drupal or even Wordpress, but you need a dozen or so modules to make it do anything useful. The code quality on random modules, is of course, random as well, so the core devs try to work around it. Its ugly, but more an indictment against module authors than the core SugarCRM team. That team is just trying to fix the shit-code in the modules and protect the reputation of their product. They don't want to find themselves in the situation Microsoft often found itself in, where Flash and Java exploits were blamed on Windows as non-tech savvy people saw their Windows hacked and didn't know it was a third-party program responsible for it.

This is also why we don't often implement systems like these at work. While I may have trust in the Drupal or Sugar team, I'm ultimately left to be forced to trust sole module authors like 'webdev420hacker' and 'boutiquewebsites1997' because they're the only game in town for these modules. I think bare-bone frameworks are falling out of style a bit. Go with a manged cloud product or go with a more featureful product that isn't dependent on 3rd party modules so much, or go with a commercial solution with everything instead. There's too much variability with third-party modules and not remotely enough security conscious eyes on this code.

Wojtek – the bear who went to war
I wonder if good VCS could solve this problem. For instance, if he documented each step with comments/commits in the code as well as he did for this blog post, it would be easy to go back and see not only why he did what he did, but the much more readable (albeit less performant) original code.

It seems like most git guis are pretty commit-focused. I'm not sure of any way to do it in the command line (though it must be possible) but it would be nice to highlight a section of code in your IDE and have git give you a history of just those lines (or that function) as far back as you want to go.
Does the person being ticketed have no rights in this situation? I think I'd be pretty upset at the reporter if they got all up in my business like this.

Reporting on people being charged with a crime is not just legal, it is extremely common. Also, I'm pretty sure you don't have any right to privacy when you're out in public.
Well, it terms of defending-what-you-say, I won't. In terms of defending-your-right-to-say-it, I will.

However, for the recording thing:

In terms of defending-your-right-to-do-it, I will. However, in this case, defending-what-you-do, I'll do that too.

So it's a little different. Although I acknowledge someone's right to insult someone, I assert that it's not particularly good for society. However, for recording police, I both acknowledge their right to do it and assert that it's of global benefit to society.

I never really connected "Haibane Renmei" to "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" but now that you mention it, the similarities are so striking.

Interesting how the prevailing mood on HN is very much pro-cop. Kind of surprising for a hacker forum.

You don't really see what a system is made of until you stress it: filming police is one way to stress the LEO system. It's an unfortunate reality that it often does not produce good results.
I'm a total phone junkie who has about a dozen phones and enjoys switching around between them. I can very safely tell you that BY FAR the best phones for battery life are the Sony Xperia line. I know they're not all that popular in the U.S. due to lack of marketing and all but boy do they have AMAZING battery lives! Especially the Xperia X Compact. I'm not at all kidding or exaggerating when I say that I can easily get 3-4 days on a single charge. The STAMINA mode doesn't really take away much from the phone's capabilities but extends the life so significantly. Other than the Sony line, the Moto Z play is also quite good but I'm not a fan of Motorola since they completely stopped caring/supporting about their phones. Even the brand new Moto G5 Plus is still on the Jan security patch. So, it's really hard to recommend any Moto phone until Lenovo changes their stance.
Prepared statements were considered the best practice for over a decade now. I know these things take time but the fact that this is just happening now is actually more cause for alarm, not less.

Not the same kind of volunteering, A&E (car crashes, domestic abuses, etc...).

> Taking time to raise level of certainty will, with high probability, give the other guy time to shoot you.

In war, soliders are required to have an extremely high degree of certainty before opening fire. I think it's pretty safe to hold a higher standard to a police force that is dealing with primarily innocent civilians.

If they don't want to risk their lives, they can find another job. That may sound unfair, but it's more unfair to kill and murder someone who poses no threat.

How is following police unsafe for everyone involved?
Following them around is originally what the Black Panther Party would do to keep tabs on them. But without actually interacting with them. So no insults or entering the situation unless actual police brutality or a miscarriage of justice was occurring. If they had smart phones I'm sure they'd be filming the whole thing too.
> And why shouldn't they?

This is a leading question, which is to say it's not a question that can be answered in a rational way. If one desires removal of choice in the conversation, they may answer it irrationally.

> Look at the case of the murder of Laquan McDonald in Chicago.

The use of a separate case of an individual having choice removed, or individuals in a group removing choice for an individual, applied to the officers involved in this video (and conversation here) is illogical. Just because someone of the group "law enforcement" acts irrationally one place does not mean all will act that way everywhere else.

> Being annoying or insulting to government employees isn't a crime.

When Alex Jones presents his words as truths it is also not a crime. However, while holding the separate goal of being "controversial" and "in your face", the dissonance that is created by such actions is palatable, and akin to a crime of logic or truth. If one attempts to disrupt the arrival of a truth in a given situation, they seek to create additional work for the aggregate to determine truth.

In this case, the officer wanted to know why someone was shining a flashlight (changing colors no less) around in the general vicinity of the stop. The reply was along the lines of "no concern of yours", when in fact it WAS a concern of the officer. In essence, the individuals filming were actively removing choice from the officer to be concerned, speaking for his actions (by implying he was or was going to run plates) and in general acting in a way that would encourage the future event of confrontation. In other words, they are acting in an irrational way to cause further irrationality to occur, when none existed.

I've been kicking around a framework for detecting and describing these types of logical "arguments" which are all verbally spoken or written. In the case of comments on HackerNews, I regularly point out the dissonance in the argument, and attempt to show how these arguments can spread if the irrationality is intended to disrupt, as is done with leading questions that blame using biased arguments.
