Salaries in Madrid or Barcelona are more or less the same. Typical ranges are 18-28K for a junior, 36-52 for a senior and 42-70 for a lead. A CTO on a startup will depend a lot on the startup but 80-150k would not be uncommon for small ones.

As you can see on this article, people from Barcelona are sometimes a little chauvinist with their loved city so I want to clear some things said. Specifically on my 20 years of experience with engineers of both cities (and working in Barcelona sometimes, even tough I'm from Madrid) I've seen more or less the same ranges of English capabilities from engineers of both cities. It's true that people in Barcelona are more fluent in general in English, but with engineers and young people the level is about the same.

Engineers in startups and normal companies in Madrid doesn't wear suits. Only consultants, bank workers and similar do in my experience (also in Barcelona). Currently school and high school in Madrid is bilingual.

Somebody said that you can get a flat in downtown Barcelona for 800€. Thats pretty unrealized, only for very small or really crappy flats. 1200-1500 is more realistic. Madrid is about the same.

Most catalans won't have any problem speaking Spanish with a foreigner. Some will avoid speaking spanish with a Spaniard (not urban legend, happened to me more than once) as a way to assert their nationalism. But there are assholes everywhere on any city.

People in Barcelona is probably more warm and open and given to small talk. People in Madrid have this castillian character that is something between laconic/shy/cool that could sound like unfriendly but it really isn't.

The best climate for you will depend a lot on your preference to humid/dry climates. Barcelona is humid (not Florida level but almost) and Madrid is VERY dry. The temperatures are more extreme in Madrid (-5/40C are usually the extreme ranges in winter/summer) and Barcelona is could be 8/35 but being humid Barcelona 35 feel hotter than Madrid 40 since your body will transpire worse on an humid climate, but all working places and public transportation will have AC om both cities, so it really depends on what your body is accustomed to.

The startup scene is very healthy in both cities, specially on the latest years where investors are moving money outside of the broken housing market (In working on a startup in Madrid right now).

Other than that both are great cities with a lot of culture and night life and surely you'll enjoy both.

The good thing about having no pretension (or feigning class) is that you can focus purely on user functionality over some preconceived ideas of what a newspaper should be.

As much as it's obvious that DailyMail is low brow, and personally not being from the UK, I have still found myself on a number of occasions spending time on the site and getting lost in various random articles.

They've certainly done a good job with the site. Mastering how to tease stories and communicate the juicy bits.

Likewise you could praise the Nazi's for their warfighting ability even if their cause is detestable :p

Here's a pretty typical /a/ post: http://i.imgur.com/zAoDHlT.png

It's true that off-topic posts are removed, but I'm mainly curious why this kind of "say whatever you want" attitude is so pervasive on 4chan yet doesn't kill the site. On Reddit, for example, comments like that would be moderated via downvoting, which physically hides the comment unless the user clicks on it. That's still a form of moderation.
No ...
Mastodon, which is decentralised, looks like it's gaining traction, and I find it very easy to use.

Hence, evacuating methods like bloodletting, purging, vomiting, sweating, diuresis and cauterization were the basis of the most effective general treatment until the beginning of 19th century [2–5]

You just forgot to include the subsequent statement.

> As for backing my statement up, here you go:

Funny that this same study is used in the article I mentioned:

A German study on 51 patients of knee osteoarthritis, showed a greater decrease in pain (seven days post leech therapy), as compared to control who received topical diclofenac application

Also from the same article you referenced:

An improvement in KOOS and WOMAC scores, and also in VAS, was found in all 3 groups following treatment. These improvements were statistically significant for treatment groups I and II during the complete follow-up period. The reduction in individual requirements for pain medication was also statistically significant. The greatest improvement was seen in the group treated twice with the leeches, with a long-term reduction of joint stiffness and improved function in the activities of daily living.

So I wouldn't qualify it as a rebuttal to the treatment if the whole Results section supports it.

I was using "technocrat" in the pejorative sense-- suggesting technological fixes to political problems. The political problem here is weak rule of law, which results in various physical problems. (No clean water, no electricity, etc) NGO technocrats frequently suggest ineffective technical solutions (water filters, solar panels) that don't address the root problem, which is either intractable or politically sensitive.
When I first flew the 777 about seven years ago I was totally awestruck by the size of the engines.

I flew with Qatar Airways, and in Doha they had a mobile staircase plus a bus, and with business class the entrance was just a few meters ahead of the engine. Or at at least it felt that way.

Seems like the diameter of the 777X engine is just a tiny bit larger than the old 777 engine: 339 cm vs 325 cm.
Rails can scale in this way too, by serving concurrent requests across multiple forked worker-processes (note that the GIL doesn't prevent multiple _processes_ from running Ruby code concurrently across multiple cores, only multiple threads in a single process).

At first, it sounded like you were implying (by distinguishing between the web server and 'the actual Ruby app') that Phoenix automatically parallelizes portions of an _individual_ request across multiple threads/cores using some special asynchronous dataflow-paradigm primitives or something. It would be unique and truly awesome if that were true, but I still highly doubt it.

I don't doubt that Phoenix probably delivers orders-of-magnitude better performance than Rails in many other respects, but 'utilizing all cpu cores without you doing anything special' is nothing unique to Phoenix over Rails as I understand it.

Not every contract clause is valid. This could be challenged in court and as you cannot authorize the licensing of your DNA after your death, I'm not sure how anyone would think this is an iron clad issue.
> Choice can be overwhelming, and for better or worse, the lack of freedom in Facebook's post editor makes it much easier for folks around the globe to pick up and use. Email won't ever have that, and that's okay!

I agree that restrictions are often liberating, and likely played a role in the success of the big social networks. But I disagree about email not being able to have the same kind of restrictions. It absolutely can. All you need is an email client that controls what you can put in the email body when you're composing an email. Most email clients allow pretty free-form messages - from plain text to hundreds of lines of HTML. But they don't _have_ to.

By the same token, there's nothing in HTTP or any other internet protocol that restricts the content of a Facebook post. Those limits are imposed by Facebook's clients (and presumably APIs).

Email has a widely understood delivery protocol and identities. That's really all you need to let people publish and subscribe to each other. The rest is just UI and marketing. (Which, of course, is no small feat!)
Who says 4chan's lax moderation hasn't hurt it? A toxic community doesn't mean one that doesn't exist.

This is a big change to make to an existing language. Even if you really, really, really like indentation-based syntax, I doubt that the benefit of the new syntax would match the cost of change.
I guess "intelligent" seemed to loaded to describe mere animals.
I prefix every file/directory in a workspace with a different letter, if possible, because this makes autocomplete as fast as possible (i.e. usually produces exactly what I want).

I try to make every temporary file start with "tmp-" so I can quickly do things like "rm tmp-*" instead of staring at a directory full of files figuring out what I can clean up.

If I include a date stamp, I use the standard YYYY-MM-DD form because this sorts perfectly by default. I don’t really understand people using things like "Mon-Apr5-..." because for me that makes it really hard to find files at a glance.

It helps to observe how sorting is done in commands like "ls" because sometimes filenames can create other natural groupings. For example, I like to prefix all my documentation files with "_" so they show up together at the top.
I doubt they'd roll their own, but I bet Google has the talent to make very good implementations of proven crypto.
Actually I'd say it has hurt it. Perceived excessive moderation on various boards is why people left to go to 8chan, where you can make and moderate your own boards, so long as all the content is legal.

I'd rather have no moderation than lax moderation, which is why I'm in favor of decentralizing imageboards; the nntpchan software, which is an imageboard over nntp, is very good for this. Perhaps some system using bittorrent technology, too.

To reply to astrange (I am unable to reply using the usual method because the HN mods don't like it when I post quickly, so they've stopped me from doing that, ironically in this discussion about moderation):

I wasn't trying to say that 8chan is unmoderated, I recognize that it is moderated, because of the "only legal content" rule, rather I was trying to say that an unmoderated imageboard could exist in theory, but an imageboard which insists on only legal content is of course moderated.

Not quite sure what's your point here but most subject specific forums on the web have a huge bunch of users with nicknames and not their real names. With the same reasoning you could also say: no need to close the door to WC when you go there to do your needs since people outside know what you're doing there anyway!

Why do you think getting the police involved all the time would be better? They only have limited capacity; do you think they really want to look at every flagged post?

Moderators do refer the most serious cases to the police. But there's a lot of crap that falls short of that, so milder penalties work better.
> Out of 150 college-bound students, you believe that exactly 0 had a 4 out of 5 in both math and English?

Yep. I'm sorry my previous comment was flip. But I totally believe this figure.

I'm from Baltimore. I didn't go to one of these schools. These schools are in totally broken communities where maybe some people do graduate high school but those graduations aren't meaningful in any sense. Those schools aren't schools. They are pre-prisons. The teachers have no chance and kids who may want to learn have no chance either. These are brutal, lawless environments policed literally by city cops.

That there could be exactly 0, zero people who succeed in the environment seems not only possible but actually necessary. These aren't schools.
They are pre-prison holding facilities.
Youre setting the bar too high. RSS support in "microblogging" apps (including Facebook, ideally) gets you a simple federated social network. Discoverability could be handled by any number of third party aggregators, like Google. Publish your email to receive "DMs".

Something can be decentralized without bleeding edge p2p crypto tech.
Or crazy.

Eh, /a/ is pretty trashy too. The thing about 4chan is that the users of the trashier boards have grown used to it. Reddit users feel entitled to a more moderated space. A lot of 4chan posts are also highly satirical, there's very few serious posts, and the posts thare are serioues are mocked for being serious. This mostly applies to the trashy boards, though. The majority of 4chan's boards are not like the subset you may be familiar with.
Are you trying to derail, or are you seriously not understanding that there is no right to be heard, it's a thing GP made up on the spot to illustrate what free speech is not?
I thought 4chan was the largest forum on the Internet, and in fact I remember when 4chan displayed the total amount of live content on their servers as being 100GB. Now it's more than 1300GB. 4chan thus seems to have become more popular.

People really do hang out on 4chan, though it's lost some share recently to 8chan, but 4chan is certainly a very large forum, the 200k+ current users, as displayed on their homepage too, confirms this.

For a place where you don't have to worry about drive-by downvoters, for all its faults, 4chan is excellent for getting your opinion across.
But people like that material; is it against the rules? If not, what's the problem? You may think it's trashy, but apparently it's rather popular and doesn't seem to be trolling, at least not to me.

That's not how I read your comment. It clearly tries to suggest that when the transistor was first invented people did not know what to do with it.

I think the MASER/LASER would have been a far better example.
Sorry, I was asking more why HN didn't do it automatically.
4chan has no economy of scale in the UI (i.e., reddit gets more interesting with more posters but imageboards get less interesting), and has no signup barriers to stop new users. The veneer of rudeness is intentional and acts to maintain quality, not reduce it.

Also there are many active topical boards like /an/ /cgl/ /fit/ /u/ you're not reading!
The government will have no realistic choice but to legalize them and give them ownership of the land. Maybe they'll sell it to them and reimburse the real owners. When everyone does it, it's no longer illegal. It has happened in a lot of countries.

Not an engineer but having seen dozens of homes being built I doubt this can take a 7.0 earthquake.
Yeah, supporting both uses would be critical. I think you're right that making sure it could interop with existing email clients in as painless a way as possible would be critical.

I'm not sure how much of a chance it would have of succeeding (I'd like it, but would anyone else?). One thing that gives me a bit of hope is the rising popularity recently of email newsletters on specific topics or from specific writers/thought-leaders.

My mom would give me these white sugar pills when I was a kid and when I woke up saying I was sick (I had a phase where I did that often to avoid school). They'd just happen to treat my condition specifically and always made me feel better!

This is why I grew up to learn to only trust medical studies over anecdote. Even then it's good to be skeptical. Placebo can be incredibly powerful.

I moved to Berlin after living in BCN for many years.

In Berlin there are beaches but of course they are not comparable to south (actually they have a different taste) But at least now I can afford a couple of times per year going to BCN and enjoy the city more than I used to. Barcelona was like honeymoon for me. In the beginning it was so good but once I was there for a couple of years everything lost its taste.

I was fluent in Catalan and Spanish from day 0 (well Catalan came a bit later) and have never been in expat bubble. I know that expat community enjoys more. But when you are involved in the local community you see that in Spain economical and political issues make people unhappy there. They won't say you that because even they can't recognize how much they are complaining about their life. This sucked my energy. Yes, weather is nice and all those mediterrean stuff looks so interesting but you can't eat sun and sand. I was personally looking for being productive but unfortunately Spain was not somewhere you can build stuff like you can do in the north. When I realized that I was wasting one of my most productive years, I simply moved on. If not I would have regretted 30 years later.

I think until you are 30 you should have lived there, definetely one of the best places to be young but if you want to have a good future, good career etc. you'll need to spend the rest of your life in a more developed economy of Europe, of course then you can come and buy your house in Costa Brava and die there once you are retired,
4chan's moderators are in an unenviable position. For example, a large number of users left because the moderators put their foot down and decided that the site would not be the base for a widespread Internet harassment campaign.

Are the users haemorrhaged from that to the detriment, or the benefit of the site?
That's a neat command... it's also relatively new to git. I hadn't heard about it before... thanks!

Yeah, my comment was a bit more emotional than required and ended up sounding like an ad hominem, but the overall point was that people (not just the author of the piece) vote with their wallet, and they voted that gatekeeping is OK; mostly they have been showing that "convenient"=OK regardless of how many privacy issues it rises or how much free speech could be affected.

Still, I understand the point of those who consider news publishing independence to be more important than software publishing independence. But I think they may be missing the bit of irony (regardless of AMP) that Google is still the search engine they use to find those news, Google may as well delete a full domain from their search results and make a site disappear into oblivion. But at least Google-search has been forced -in some cases- to keep some level of neutrality there. Apple is just freely deleting and adding whatever they want to iOS/App-store, with some of their apps having access to APIs no other app can (e.g. Safari), which is as monopolistic as software gets.

Are you suggesting IBM is not profitable?
I agree, it's frustrating. I think the primary reason is that a general algorithm for doing so might be difficult to come up with. Some hosts, such as Medium, use unique identifiers for each page view which are apparently mapped on the server side. If that identifier is removed, Medium returns a 404.
There’s actually even a hobbyists guide for running kube yourself: https://github.com/hobby-kube/guide

And there’s a few guides for setting it up automatically in vagrant, or on aws, or on Juju-managed clouds.

Sadly, Kube is very barebones – only doing scheduling, if you add a storage provider such as portworx (only block storage) or rook (block and object storage) you also gain that, but it doesn’t do any user auth functionality.

That’s something I’m atm still searching for, something allowing me to easily register and remove users, add them to groups and do RBAC, but without using ldap as backend, and with a way to get it working with OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0, as well as with Shibboleth, Kerberos, and an LDAP compatibility layer (but with app-specific passwords there).

Symbol has a toString method. It makes no sense to throw an error instead of just calling toString (like every other primative does). The whole point of making toString part of the Object prototype is that everything can be coerced into a string. Why are these new specs getting so error happy?
