Hello fromtheshadows,

I will give you two pieces of advice you may think conflict, but they do not.

1) Your fellow interns might be trying too hard. You may be too young to recognize this but unless they are truly exceptionally gifted social animals (hint: they are probably not) they are trying very very hard to gain favor with senior management who will ultimately make the decision to hire or recommend them to other roles. This does not always work; it can work if they are genuinely personable (some actually are), and it can sometimes work if they are not but there are weak personalities in senior positions who think "this person must deserve it because they tried so hard too engage people". Just know that not every super-networker is admired by those they are trying to connect (read: brownnose) with. Ignore them and focus on yourself.

2) Software is a team sport. If you can't engineer as a team with your fellow developers; if you can't disagree yet compromise or think one one way but be swayed by another engineer's point of view; if you can't learn from the senior mentors who are teaching you that software is in part a social activity, well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're not likely to achieve the full potential of an exceptional software developer. You can get a job in the industry, surely, but you'll never be as truly valuable as someone who can communicate effectively with their peers. It isn't about being a hit at parties--but being someone whose opinion people can trust because you listen and thus people listen to you. This requires non-zero social skills, but you don't have to invite the Marketing team to play air hockey after work--you just need to be able to understand what you're building and why and ask for clarity if you are ever unclear. This DOES extend beyond your core engineering team (e.g., this means you have to talk to your product owner and other stakeholders). You have to be able to communicate with those people not just now but forever in this industry. If you just can't, either consider another role or consider a narrow, well-defined individual contributor role at a well-established company where you are ok with not advancing.

Do you need to change yourself? It is hard to say; I am not sure how old you are and where you are at in your career. But do be a team player who is curious; just know that you don't have to drink a gallon of beer or play ping pong until 9pm to be respected--you just have to be a good listener, a good asker of questions and someone people look forward to collaborating with.
Same here in US. We call it cherry picked news. The mainstream media got really good at it.
Larry Wall created (or, rather, kept on creating) Perl, an ultimately multi-paradigm language, allowing for wild differences in style, approach, and even syntax. (Yes, this does create problems, too.)

It is a common error in modern capitalist thinking that the unit of value is price. That is fundamentally wrong.
I have read The Road; I have not read Blood Meridian (yet - not sure if I will or not).

I read The Road when I was probably 22 or 23. I now have a son who is six (I'm a man, for context), and I suspect that if I were to re-read it, I would likely weep uncontrollably for an hour or two, and then spend the next several months sporadically crying and clutching my son. It is a hard, hard read, and even harder (I assume) if you're a parent.

That being said, it's also a masterpiece of a book. Ultimately it does have a glimmer of optimism, it's just a really rough time getting to that optimism. I don't regret reading it, but once is enough, for now.
Because it's a known piece of software in the Ruby community, one that actually kicks ass. His work isn't new, this is probably being voted up by people who know of it... and what's really to comment on? I read the page, upvoted because I like the gem, and moved on.
WTF is the "function programming approach"?
For those who're not familiar with Cricket, it's very similar to baseball, to first order. The most substantial differences that I can think of:

Instead of throwing the ball directly towards the batter's upper body, it must usually bounce once on the ground. There must always be two batters, one at each end of the strip. The batters whack the ball and run up and down the strip instead of around a diamond. Each batter keeps going till they get out (and they don't get out for playing and missing a few times).

--

And, of course, refer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket
That's pretty much the same as in case of Yaml, isn't it?
I tore through The Road a few years ago and consider its prose some of the finest I've ever read. It's grey-ness stuck with me and I still think about it now and then (combined with the dialogue in No Country for Old Men, which I've only seen, not read).

I think you should read one of them. If you want, I'll read The Road (or any other one) while you do and we can talk about it. Someone has to carry the fire.
You shouldn't need an ethics course in a university to think ethically. I've never taken one. Moral philosophy is something you either care about or don't. If you do care, it's easy to refine your thinking through the use of books by debating, though the latter is slow.

The simple question 'would I be pissed off if I were on the other side of this situation?' will get you halfway home in almost every case. It is your responsibility as a sentient being to make moral decisions, otherwise you're just half alive.
+1 for the Border Trilogy; it's very well done, and very... engrossing, I suppose is a good way of putting it.
They're making it available, but isn't it being made available under a specific license?

> Is it immoral if I watch tapes of the competing team's last football game to figure out what plays they like to use?

Did you have to impersonate someone who's supposed to have access to it in order to watch it? That seems more like the question that would decide it.

"Because they don't want you to" is a bad way to phrase it, even if it gets to the core of things. After all, they wrote their license agreement based on what they want you to do, right?

> there's no subterfuge going on

"I want API access."

"We only give that to drivers."

"OK, I'm a driver."

"OK, here's API access"

Are you going to argue that Uber's devs could've had that theoretical conversation without being intentionally deceptive?
They broke the agreement they signed to gain access to that information and intended to break that agreement from the outset.

That's outright fraud to gain access.

This isn't some kind of gray area like you're trying to pretend.
I am early 40s and have been coding professionally for 25 years; I will never stop doing it as I like it and it keeps me up to date with my colleagues/employees so I can help them and support them where needed. I spend a lot less time worrying about frameworks, programming languages etc then I used to. I practically deliver things my companies need. In my spare time I program as well; working on formal verification, development tools & games. For me it is just creating something from nothing that drew me into programming the around 34 years ago and I have not found anything that works that powerful on me.

I notice, with every year passing, that I need less and less time actually behind my computer and typing to write more and better software. Which is great as I don't like the typing part all too much :)

Not all bias is conscious, or intentional. The hair dye may not be a bad idea, just temporarily, during the search. Get a pro though, obvious shoe polish color is, er, obvious.

I don't think he was suggesting it would be a good idea to start unloading into the mob, only that it would be very effective in reducing the mob's numbers compared to other situations where the mob is more free to move around.

>How many links do you want?

Just 1, but this time to statistics. I didn't suggest no one has ever been hit accidentally in a defensive shooting, just that it's incredibly rare compared to the amount of times guns are used in self defense, and not worth fear mongering about by suggesting concealed carriers are dirty Harry wannabe's.
Very little substance. Author recommends, for production applications, an obscure Smalltalk-to-JS transpiler whose last commit was a year ago, and whose documentation's page on how to create packages is marked TODO. Truly nothing to see here.

Juicero also wants people to wash out and mail back used juice packs so it's not really a savings either.
I do this, but I googled it first to know that the recursive option actually exists and what it is called. Those man pages are decent references, but are usually useless for actually learning the tool.
I graduated CS at the age of 27 and thought I'd be at a disadvantage starting out in the industry due to it. If anything the couple more years seems to have helped me out quite a bit as I found it made me more relatable to the more senior technical people and management.

In the modern dev shops now the soft skills you've developed in the additional years you've had before getting into development will give you quite an advantage since 99% of places aren't just heads down coding anymore.

Where I've found I have a disadvantage is in my non-work commitments and free time outside of work. The younger guys can spend their evenings and weekends working on side projects, going to hackathons or just learning something new, whereas I come home to the family and try to spend quality time with them, do my share of the work in the upkeep of the house, yard, etc.

We only get one shot at life so you're never too old for anything in terms of what you want to spend 40+ hours a week doing to finance your life.
Whereas that 3 year old Dell laptop and Samsung phone are humming along quite nicely?

FWIW I just replaced my 5 year old MacBook Air, but only because I wanted to. It was still working perfectly well - and is now my flatmate's main computer.

Sorry, since this is Hacker News, I assumed people would have a basic understanding of how the iplayer knows your location and how trivial a matter it is to circumvent?

Since I spend 9 months of the year in Spain I use a vpn by default and I access iplayer just the same way I would back home.

The not free aspect amounts to a tick box to say you have a licence. To most people on the internet today this does mean it is free.

The point was to explain why the bbc is expensive compared to netflix since it is a lot less convenient to get content for nothing.

Yes, I do have a licence and subscribe to netflix as well as prime. The point was theoretical.

The article in the dupe thread suggested that this would combat "fake news," but I dunno about that. I get the impression that people who digest biased/questionable sources do it to express tribal affiliation more than some genuine need to be informed. Hell, many people share articles without even reading them; they're primarily concerned with what the headline in their feed says about their character rather than the world at large. I'm not sure if having (another) "evidence based" outlet is going to be of any use to your cranky uncle.

I think the real promise lies in Wikitribune potentially going toe-to-toe with "real news" like CNN or the Washington Post. These outlets also don't always get the facts straight and can't be said to have a diehard following. If a superior option presents itself, readers will follow.
Well that might be part of it, but the reason is because the juice had no preservatives so they will go bad. Honestly it would be a product failure if people were getting sick for using the bags after they've gone rotten

Getting to the front page of hackernews is more about timing than content. I've had submissions get no votes only to see the same article on the front page a few hours or days later.

There's a lot of luck that goes into who is viewing and voting.
It's going to be fun cleaning all this up in 4 years.
It's a dog-eat-dog world out there.

That's a worldview you choose to hold because it suits your capitalistic philosophy. I've literally fought for my life in dark alleys and I don't agree with your claim - the fact that competition exists and can even be deadly does not establish it as the baseline norm of human behavior.

a lot of this socialization is provided by people who simply don't want you to become a strong competitor, and have indoctrinated this imaginary, soft, cushiony world into everyone's brains so that it's easier for them to come in and take what they want

I could just as easily say that people like yourself attempt to indoctrinate people with the notion that Darwinian competition is the unalterable way of the world in order to inculcate a combination of stoicism and paranoia that will inhibit them from coordinating with each other to limit your predatory activities. See, I can make up specious motivations for my interlocutors too.
I'm not saying that they are indeed "beings", but if you try it you'll spend a hell of a lot of time trying to figure out what just happened to you.

You also can't get away with demanding the same work conditions or work/life balance from an older person than you can from a 21 year old CS graduate who's very eager to impress and has little other commitments to attend to.

I can't imagine you'll find many older, experienced devs willing to put up with the "we need to ship so you've got to put in 80 hours this week. You build it, you support it so keep your phone and laptop by you at all times outside of work" shtick that a lot of tech companies beat the young guy devs with.

Maybe the reason the market is uncompetitive is because of the price caps? Fighting monopolies with regulation constraining their prices seems like a risky solution. Isn't there some action that would open up the market to more competitors? Even if another company had to lay their own cables, that happens and isn't impossible.

Version 3.0 is being announced which is compatible with Ruby 2.4 and Rails 5. With this being a popular gem in the Ruby community, I'm guessing those are important milestones many folks are happy with.
In the author's own words, in a comment to his own article: "I don’t claim to be an expert or even that well-read on the subject." In context, the "subject" he refers to appears to be "North Korea."

I guess you've never had coffee out of a rarely serviced machine in the break room of a millwrighting shop.

Not true with any elevator.
All things being equal if all you know is their side projects that makes sense. Normally you would have their resume which includes work done at their job. I get how it's so tempting to look at people's side projects as a measure of proficiency. I just don't think it's fair to judge people by their ability to spend hours working outside of work.
Strange, I find that it's anti-capitalists that make that error. The few who do not in my experience , if from anywhere, come from the Austrian economics camp.
There is also a Vagrant plugin for Veertu, which is based on Hypervisor.Framework, and it's free too.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be fully baked yet, I haven't had much success trying to use it, and there may not be many public base boxes available for it, as tools like Packer don't support it yet.

Edit:

Another option on macOS is Parallels. You need the "Pro" or "Business" licence to use with Vagrant, but it works reasonably well for my needs.

Probably gonna get down-voted but if your interested into some facts about Jimmy Wales take a look here: http://www.naturalnews.com/051060_wikipedia_Jimmy_Wales_exto...

I just quickly fond this, I was actually looking for a fact that Wales also created some sort of thing that helped the corrupt government do corrupt things. That is actually even missing from that list.

He is married to Kate Garvey is an English public relations executive and a former aide to prime minister Tony Blair. He is a establishment shill and not a independent person. Even if he would be I do not want anyone decide for me what is fake news or not.

The entire fake news hype is getting really annoying. It's the governments way to introduce censorship via backdoor.
I think you'll find that the vast majority of old browsers coming from China are in fact robots/spiders hard-coded with MSIE user agent strings.
Without ragging on developers that do this, I actually think it's a very serious problem. I frequent the #react irc channel a lot, and almost every beginner comes in with the same sentence: "I really like the way ___ does ___, where do I start?" (or some variation of)

If you're using the words "like" or "cool" to describe your latest dependency then that's a serious red flag. These libraries exist to solve problems, if you can't describe the problem you're trying to solve with one of them then you shouldn't be using it.
I went to a private prep school for high school, and a weird aspect that people didn't talk about very much was that they expelled people at such a high rate (partly to preserve a better learning environment for the other students).

I think I recall someone from the administration estimating that at least 10% of students were expelled before graduation. (At least I think it was 10% over the course of four years, not 10% every year.)
I think there's a crucial distinction between a) participating in a party's primary as a member of that party, generally intending to support that party's candidate, and b) participating in a party's primary, pretending to be a member of that party while actually a member of the opposing party, and having no intention of voting for that party's candidate in the actual election. The latter is dishonest manipulation of the political process, tantamount to sabotage.
There have been a lot of cases about companies scraping data from each other. I'm not aware of any that came to criminal charges.

Swartz had illegally entered a staff-only routing closet at MIT and hard-wired his laptop into the router so he could suck down files rapidly. This is what really cast the case as a criminal thing; he was arrested fleeing MIT Police as they pursued what I suspect they only knew as "the guy who is breaking into the closet and doing weird stuff with our network". Once you're taken down on B&E, you already have a prosecutor's attention, and it's common for them to throw on all the charges that they think will stick, especially when they have high resume value like cybercrime prosecution.

Swartz was acting as an activist who had previously acknowledged the illegal nature of his actions in his stirring "Guerilla Open Access Manifesto" [0], which includes the phrase "[t]here is no justice in following unjust laws". He was also operating as an individual outside of the context of a liability shield like a corporation.

I hate the CFAA and regularly post against it on this forum, and I disagree heartily with the prosecution of Swartz. But it's not likely that those criminal charges would be replicated in a B2B scenario where a company accesses an otherwise-public resource, and the furthest they go is using a proxy to shield their identity. Many civil cases where exactly this has happened have been brought without criminal charges being filed, probably most often because the criminal chain reaction never gets activated by something like breaking and entering, as it did in Swartz's case, because personal information is not compromised/leaked, and because the behavior is usually stopped pretty dead by the lawsuit.

I assume if someone were to disobey the judge's injunction preventing them from continuing to violate the CFAA, they'd be arrested initially on contempt charges and then formal charges for breaking the CFAA may be filed.

I'm not a lawyer.

I love the sentiment. But how does this differ from Wikinews? Is this not just arbitrarily passing the buck of "gatekeeper" to whatever people have enough free time to contribute?
Yes, but with somwhat more convenient syntax:

mutliplication_table = {
x = alt(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10),
y = alt(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10),
get result() {return this.x * this.y}
}
