Phrenology never had any scientific basis whatsoever. G has enormous amounts of evidence supporting it. It has lots of predictive and statistical value, and would be easy to falsify if it didn't exist. Please actually research scientific fields before declaring them bullshit. This kind of ignorant science denialism doesn't belong on HN.
They can confiscate your belongings though.
No, it's not. That's similar to saying just stay away from bullies, or leave if you don't like your job/school/whatever. It is easy if you view the issue in isolation, but for a lot of people it is more complicated, such as how will you see your loved ones / do your job / travel freely? In this case, the ones most dependent on being able to travel have little choice if they can't take on almost unlimited (potentially, but still) risk to their livelyhood.
A benefit of Github Issues is that users can also help each other.

For example, this happened recently:

User 1 kept having an issue, but no idea how to get debug infos.

User 2 had the issue once too and knows how to get debug infos, but can't reproduce the error.

By having both post in the same issue, the root cause and a matching solution were found before the maintainer even saw the issue :)

I don't think you understand the power of group ridicule. There is a difference between someone being wrong somewhere (as in XKCD) and someone attacking things about your personhood, while making heady moral arguments that their attacks are justified and your defenses are not.
the position that IQ isn't a measure of intelligence is misinformed at best or psuedoscientific at worst. we have a century of research on the topic, and very strong correlations with everything from life expectancy[1], to job performance[2], to educational attainment[3]. pretty strange that something that doesn't measure anything meaningful would be consistently tied to these other traits, no?

it looks very defensive to simply ignore my responses that directly answered your challenges and say 'oh yeah well i can google things'. you may also try not to rely on tabloids for science reporting.

In that case, how well will this new lidar work in the rain?
Fork it, fix it. Pull in upstream changes until the maintainer fixes it. I suppose file a ticket with a snippet of what I did to fix it so a regular contributor can create a request faster.

If this is a random one-off drive by bug, then why go through the hassle of figuring out what particular standards any individual maintainer wants to follow just to have it turned down, or discover that some regular contributor already patched it while I reading the documentation.

(I mean, I'd love to contribute, but the few times that I've stumbled upon a bug, fixed it, figured everything the maintainer wanted in a pull request... it was aleady fixed by the maintainer and I'd just wasted a lot of time)

"VA health care is NOT considered a health insurance plan."

https://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/cost/insurance.asp

I think Medicare is a more apt comparison.

But whatever we come up with, single payer or not, will fail. Because it will not be a bipartisan bill, and like any large bill (such as Medicare in the early days), tweaks will need to be made as people begin using it. And let's face it, Congress is no longer interested in working together for the common good. Much better to let a healthcare plan fail than to allow the other side (and the American people) a win.

But what if the house, the senate and the president are all in the same party? Well... so far we have a bill that would be a handout to insurance and financial services companies, raise premiums, strip protections, and basically bend consumers over a chair.

So how is that working out?
This has become the case in Chess [1]. However, it took 15 years for that to happen. Chess engines now are orders of magnitude stronger now than they were when Deep Blue beat Kasparov. So this is definitely the case, it'll just take a while.

In our busy and overwhelming lives it is easy to procrastinate about civic responsibilities while still caring about living in a just and fair world.

My phone has not been searched, either, but the issue here is to stand up for your rights. If you have never been wronged by a person or organization in position of authority in US government then consider yourself lucky. I and most people I know living in the US have.
Issues are very important, how you handle them is more important and that includes acknowledging the difference between discussion / decision making and bug or feature implementation.

People don't get burnt out from people discussing / proposing fixes or improvements, they get burnt out from not having the time or support to fix / implement them or from to much concurrent work and context switching.
Why are there abandoned buildings, parking lots and urban farms in downtown and near downtown neighborhoods in most US cities? I lived in a converted former warehouse that sat empty for decades because the owner had a dream that a factory would eventually rent the space again. It took the owner's death and his son inheriting​ the property for it to be put to "efficient use" again.
I'm well aware of that and the historical reasons that it's the case. I'm just using it as an example of breaking well established patterns that screw new users.
Been programming for a living for 30 something years, my last contract ended recently so started investigating the technical interview process so sympathetic with your point of view. I've never had to do any of the basic algorithms/puzzles from scratch that one typically has to do in these interviews for a shipping product, based on the samples I've seen from hackerrank and leetcode. The questions marked easy on leetcode were ones I was asked in the 90's.
Can you provide a source please?

Edit: I was downvoted for kindly asking for a source?
> This is not understanding what kickstarter is.

It's a more universal problem than that. The concept of a stock market was originally supposed to be very similar to Kickstarter, but with dividends rather than rewards. But average Joes were convinced that the stock market itself was a kind of store to buy future products in (with hucksters there to help them toward that conclusion), and tons of people lost their life-savings.

To avoid this, we have divided investors into "accredited" (usually, people whose job is investing) and "unaccredited" (the regular Joes); and companies into "private" (companies that actually need investment to become viable) and "public" (companies that would do just as well without anyone's help); and then we don't let the unaccredited investors invest in the private companies. Which was, y'know, the whole original point: to let people help companies get off the ground, in exchange for potential reward if the company does get off the ground.
Iris scan is probably still our best bet, we just need better hardware and software.

I'm not sure that's fair about question 2. It's hard to say because I know python (but not the deque class), but none of the incorrect answers seem like they'd be correct in any sensible language.

Like, whatever language you're using, you need to push the children of the current node on to the queue. Only one answer looks like it could reasonably do that.
I'm not sure if this exchange means that there is no good reason to do that, or if it means that the reason why one would want to do that is blindingly obvious to everyone except me. :)
That job they're "just doing" is, as it's drilled into their minds, to act as a barrier against anything that even might be a threat in some form or fashion to their country. They have pretty broad authority toward that end.

You (the notional you) aren't even from here. If you say no, you've identified yourself as a potential threat, and can just sit in a room by yourself for as long as it takes to put you on the next flight back to wherever you came from, at your expense. And you probably won't be allowed to return.

If you're a citizen and say no, they might confiscate the device, and might make you wait around long enough to miss your connecting flight (and maybe even the next couple, if they're feeling particularly peevish), but that's about all they can do.
It always cracks me up what people consider "big data" to be. I once wrote a few Julia scripts to process terabytes of data from the results of molecular dynamics simulations. Just spin up a few high-memory cloud instances, process for a couple hours, and then shut down. Total cost: about $12. It's amazing what a couple billion CPU cycles per second can do. All without Hadoop, Spark, etc.
I think your right on about google tracking. you visit a website and they're probably using google analytics or google ads somewhere, or it's a 3rd party feeding data to some form of google ad network.

My preferred compromise would be if GitHub started sorting issues by "number of upvotes" by default. (Upvotes aren't entirely a thing on GitHub issues, but you can add a thumbs-up emoji which is pretty similar.) For some projects, there is just far more desire for free help than there are people available to help for free. In these cases it is still useful to discover issues that enormous numbers of people have, even if you won't have the bandwidth to deal with a large fraction of them.
Oops, hit logout on that throwaway account. Bye-bye, religious flame wars. ;)

Support is what it is, and it's a two-way street.

Most engineers usually don't have customer support or sales experience, and so don't have the experience to triage and communicate pro-socially. (I sold software as a high-school job and also had my own consultancy at 17.) It's important to push outside one's comfort-zone when young (or old) to acquire skills that will be vital later on.

Post the policies, requirments and desires in contributing.md promenently. (I think a CoC is redundant and tyrannical SJWing.) Setting expectations and not making promises is important.

Finally, there is a cost to FOSS on both supply and demand sides. I just had some company fork the repo of a project I fixed, make a pointless PR and then offer no contributions in a grsec-theft-style way.

PS: Subversion has a great talk about defending the community.

Then, fine, tone police, I'm not classy.

I am, however, a FOSS developer who understands the value of non-technical contributions to a project.

The problem with talking about housing prices in Vancouver is that it's a heavily politicized issue with all sides pushing an agenda.

Wikipedia suggests the Spotify application was launched at the same time as the announcement of deals with various major labels - is this incorrect?

Grooveshark started out with pirated music, attempted to make deals, and failed, but that was an entirely different company.
Yeah, unless you get the riders involved as well. Which is of course a lot tougher.
That's kind of nasty. It's certainly fun to play with pathological language features, but it's not exactly a useful thing to test on when the answer is "don't do that". I'd enjoy a JavaScript quiz on some of the "wat?" features, but I wouldn't want to be evaluated on my ability to guess them.
It could well be that the exponential advancement in technology makes it so there is only about a 100 or 200 year gap where civilizations send out radio waves, or whatever our current technology is capable of receiving - before hitting these other dimensions.

But even so, there would still be a chance to detect this kind of stuff. I mean, I totally see your point - I just don't think we're that special though.
That's interesting, I didn't quite expect that answer! Obviously I don't know your exact situation, and I can't hope to offer actual advice, but I can still empathize, and pretend to help, and suggest mental frames that have helped me. Imagine that everything I say here is me talking to myself rather than telling you what to do. :) Like a lot of people, I'm way better at seeing how to solve other people's problems than taking action to solve my own.

There are a lot of lessons you can take from this project and leverage for later, on this project or other projects or for your current or future day job. If you leverage your work here for something else, and quit this project, maybe knowing your experience helped you transition will ease your mind about quitting. I'm serious about sunk cost being imaginary; you aren't losing anything you have by stopping development. The outcome was always going to be what you learned by doing it, and you have that.

Not sure, but it occurred to me that one thing you may be discovering is that interpreters (like compilers & OSes) are a different beast than apps programming. You can't necessarily use the same coding styles or keep the same clean abstractions. You are bumping into project scaling problems. We all have a point where we start producing spaghetti. Everyone. Some people have some tricks for going further, but nobody can do it forever. Ever read this post? https://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/norris-numbers.htm...

What you're learning about the discrepancy between what you expected to happen 6 years ago and what has actually happened since could be redirected towards a management philosophy, or even a job doing that, if you were so inclined. You mentioned you are antisocial (and we all are to varying degrees) but what's happened to this project is what happens to most projects. Most software gets ugly and less fun over time. In fact, it's probably all software.

I freaking love coding, it's addicting. But software as a whole has been making me mildly unhappy in part because it's so difficult to feel like I ever finish anything, whether I'm in a large team or a small one, or working solo. Many days I feel like I could code every waking second I have and not end up where I want to go. I have big plans and, more and more clearly every day, not enough time.

BTW, I haven't gotten rid of my constant conflict. It might not go away unless you decide to end the project. Mine is still there, and I'm still going. But I have slowed my project down and I spend less time on it. It's helping relieve some of the pressure, and helping me be more judicious about what I do. I'm starting to spend more time doing side things that are fun & interesting to me.

Maybe do a trial quit, and change your mind if you want. Walk away for three weeks and don't think about it for one second. See if you're drawn back or start to feel free.
Thanks a lot for that short quizz !
OP actually addressed the w from wikipedia. He calls it the size of the objects k. The point being, run-time remains proportional to the actual in-memory size of whatever you are trying to count.

Heck, for the example of 64 bit integers, w is fixed at 64.

Note also that the quote from Wikipedia concerns distinct elements. It is rather inherent to the problem we are solving that not all elements are distinct.

At this point it's essentially impossible to make a credible claim that Russia did not compromise the DNC network. At best you could try to argue that they weren't the only ones to do so, but that feels like grasping at straws.
Resetting via link alone is yet another bad thing, because as you pointed out it leads to the exact situation you just described. Password resetting should involve some type of challenge/response, and accounts should be secured with 2FA on top of all that.

Medium still isn't winning any security points here.
Signatures don't prove ownership. The prove agreement. Ownership is an entirely different concept.
Nice article and it still holds despite being a few years old. There's a general lack of understanding or appreciation for this "medium" data world which is actually where most of "big" data lives (i.e. too big for Excel but not PB or many TB).
Yeah plus with allowing full access to my own browser I could write a HTML doc saying 15/15 well done. How unsecure!

Laughable.
>The company he worked for didn't want to pay him worker's comp. when he contracted Valley Fever, which is a direct result of his job / working conditions.

That part is debateable. People in parts of central California and Arizona sometimes come down with Valley Fever. You don't have to be a shepherd or even have an outside job. Or have a job at all.

You can make the argument that he wouldn't have been in California and therefore his employer should have covered the cost of his medical care, but you can make that argument about any illness he suffered after coming to California.
This article is from the perspective of the maintainer, but what about the potential contributor?

I've gone down the path described above and I've been equally burned by maintainers who are not interested in the feature, not interested in the bug fix, or in general are inactive.

I want to contribute to projects instead of simply forking and doing my own thing, but before touching the codebase I want to poke the maintainers to see if the feature, bug, etc. is worth the effort.

I'm going to submit an issue before I write a single commit. It's not worth my time understanding a codebase, debugging, submitting a PR just to have it rejected or fade away into the abyss.
That's certainly possible, but at this point we are talking shit just about as bad as what the craziest nuts are accusing Hilary of. Shit people would keep digging in forever.

And fwiw, Dotcom's statements says he is willing to provide testimony under the condition of a safe passage back and forth. I sincerely hope that if he now backtracks from that and demands more his reputation will be done for. Though I guess we can now change it to "he lies and then they decide to grant him immunity".
I think it's kind of ironic that the author focuses on pull requests. I say this because me and 2 other people created pull requests for a repository fairly widely used, one created by the author. The pull requests were opened in early April and haven't been acknowledged or responded to.

I understand open source maintainers get burnt out. I don't think he should focus on a solution that doesn't even seem to be working for him.

> I've never heard to keep weight off the keyring

I was dubious at first too, when the motorcycle mechanic told me that, but then my car mechanic (completely unrelated) said the same thing, so I took all my keys out of the keyring.

Apparently, weight leads to the lock "loosening up" and can make the key "stick" a lot, unable to turn because the rods no longer align as well.

> I might go even more hidden, and hide it under the lip of the gas tank or etc.

I was thinking about doing that and connecting it to the bike battery as well, but I couldn't find a place that was easier to reach (and that wouldn't require me to lay cables all over)...
You can't really compare a huge end-user product to a developer library though. Developers are supposed to be able to write code.

This is tangential to their goal, but this looks like a promising start for mapping Scotland's land ownership, which is notoriously inequal (more than half the land is in the hands of less than 500 people).
The idea is radically different. I define an idea:
- What problem you're solving
- Who are you solving this problem for?

Idea 1
- The problem of gathering data of a customer (SFDC, Intercom..)
- Who: Product manager, Marketer, Sales... ?

Idea 2
- The Problem of management challenges
- Who: Green Engineering Managers and CTOs

Being in Slack makes that the two ideas have the same UX / Distribution channel. But those two ideas are radically different.

"how do you know you aren't completely wrong?"
=> It's the whole point of the article, to derisk at the maximum this. If you can make sure that
1) You're solving a real problem => We are because we have some paying customers and interviewed more than 400 Engineering Managers
2) You're excited about this problem => We are because, as you said, we "burned" people being bad managers
3) It's innovative => We are because we haven't seen any similar product

Then if the 3 are checked, we have at least some chances of learning from our past experience
