Poster was me, and I wouldn't do that. Besides 1/2 the time impact drivers won't even fit in those gaps. You gotta slip the thing in there and curse the engineer who designed it along with every other person servicing the thing ever.
Back in 2008 Rails was the real fun. And their proposed way of doing web software was mainstream until angularjs exploded.
maybe they chose the known unpopular option as an effort to curb employee spending.

"Unlimited free construction paper for use as toilet paper! Our gift to you! Take as much as you please!"
Oh for sure. But relatively to other military they are quite good and even while they waste a lot they can mostly to their jobs. Other military are very expensive and very ineffective.
Node is going after that space so you can see an increase in server side javascript stuff coupled with a decrease of Ruby and probably some PHP and Java as well. Ruby is the most vulnerable of those.
"Third, we will be taking a tougher stance on videos that do not clearly violate our policies — for example, videos that contain inflammatory religious or supremacist content...."

They go on to say that this type of speech won't be exactly blocked, but basically made harder to find.

It's not quite big brother, but I suspect nothing like that happens all at once. "Inflammatory religious" in particular, feels like a pretty loose description...almost every religion has some bit that's inflammatory to someone else.
This is a thing. Most "railers" use a very strict subset of ruby features, although Rails itself uses a lot.
Interesting that they didn't address specific steps they'd take to protect their content reviewing teams... Sounds like it would be appreciated, especially in the context of the recent issue at Facebook.

Doesn't this create extreme state synchronization and scaling issues?
Full disk encryption only really offers security for the following 2 scenarios:

- My computer/phone was lost and it was powered off. If my password is good and secure, then I can be assured the data contained on the disk will not fall into the wrong hands.

- I need to securely wipe data off the disk, because I'm selling the computer or something. Just deleting the master encryption key contained on the disk is probably enough to render the whole thing unreadable. I don't need to spend days using special software to overwrite all sectors multiple times.

Once the system is booted, the decryption key for the disk will be made available to the OS, and all files will be made available to root processes. At this stage, having a encrypted disk offers no more protection than having a non-encrypted one.
Python only supports native Unicode strings from Python3.
Only prob is development has seemed to stall on it and it only supports 32bit Windoze versions so no official support for anything past XP.
Right, but it doesn't say that he always picks one with a goat.

I think people would have a different response to the problem if before the host opened the door, the contestant said "Monty, can you please open one of the doors with a goat behind it?"
It's not the blood and gore that we can't handle. It's the psychological manipulation. They're using the same psychological tricks that Trump used, that Colgate uses. That every advertiser uses. But now it's war. This is the new war: the war for the mind of man itself.
Worth mentioning that elastic.co themselves run a hosted service on AWS that is of a high quality and has none of these flaws.
Angular is a frontend framework, Rails is a backend framework. Care to elaborate?
I have been using pass since Feb 14 2015 (according to git) now, and that is the only thing that bothered me so far. Do you have a link to these extensions? I would be interested in that.
A little off topic, but does anybody use Aspiration's products? What do you think of them?
I expect a second wave is most likely to come if TruffleRuby takes off (perhaps when it has full support for Rails).

This is a terrifying step for the internet. These kinds of step lay the groundwork for censorship but fail to consider the impact of these changes in the event that the bad guys come into power or gain influence of these management systems.
Do you have any children?

I owned cars from my 18th birthday and a significant amount of my earnings went into them. Now that I am closer to 40 than to 30 and living at a place that can actually provide me with a decent public transport I can see myself not owning a car but the thing is that I have a kid and really don't want to tell my wife and my daughter that we have to go on a bus or wait for a cab to go to the nearby lake for a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon. Also I lease a car for around 200 GBP per month which is less than what I would pay for public transport. With those 200 GBP per month and for a three year lease tires and maintenance are included. What's not to like?
Now that's a complex one!
"Third, we will be taking a tougher stance on videos that do not clearly violate our policies — for example, videos that contain inflammatory religious or supremacist content. In future these will appear behind an interstitial warning and they will not be monetised, recommended or eligible for comments or user endorsements. That means these videos will have less engagement and be harder to find. We think this strikes the right balance between free expression and access to information without promoting extremely offensive viewpoints."

I cannot help but think that this will not be applied evenly - that some political content will be allowed and some will not.
Yeah, let's remember Ian Murdock and how all his friends turned their backs on him in his hour of need.

Let's remember how he suddenly became persona non-grata for not respecting the unwritten rules of linguistic segregation.

Let's remember how his attempts to delay his suicide by reaching out on HN and Reddit were met with censorship by the "dang"s of this brave new world.
Someone I know works at a company with the same policy.

State reason (by HR department) for not using Uber: risk of being raped.

Apparently not a problem with Lyft though, so that's good news?
Well, to be fair, I don't think JavaScript is at risk of dying the way BASIC did, for a lot of reasons that aren't really worth going into. If it is going to die, though, then WebAssembly is the writing on the wall.

Still, I think you're looking at this from a different angle than I am. I haven't seen one person suggest that it would be a good idea to take the Lisp out of Emacs; simply that having the option to script it with other languages would be nice.
"Assuming each amount of change between 0 and 499 is equally likely"

Yes.
"Most" is an exaggeration. But it's a ton of people. https://qz.com/333313/milliions-of-facebook-users-have-no-id...
How to GET CLEAR SKIN OVERNIGHT
I use elisp for scripting occasionally (very handy when you need to script on some server but the administrator does not want to install a Lisp compiler, and quite usable with the cl- libraries), and the biggest annoyance is that you need to use buffers to do file IO. That is another layer of boilerplate on top of the Lisp file IO facilities, compared to Bourne shell-style scripting.
> But if someone came in and couldn't figure it out, why would I think they'd be any better on 'unsolved problems'?

It's an easy problem for sure, and I yet I could imagine many a competent programmer to lock up for reasons that have nothing to do with the problem and everything to do with the situation and sense of pressure they might experience during it.
Wizard Code: A View on Low-Level Programming
Removing and not using them is two different things, templating in C++ in large project leads to very complex things.
I'm honestly at a loss as to why typescript is not the industry standard now. JavaScript is a mess, and I'm continually surprised to encounter anyone who prefers it.
So "the code is the contract" until enough people decide to unilaterally change the code because they don't like the contract. Which is right back to what I said.

There's no way of framing this that preserves the philosophical purity.
Few TV shows have had its depth of writing. The storyline on the growth of fascism on Earth explores and predicts post-9/11 hysteria as well as anything I've ever seen. The only show I can think of recently with such great writing was Breaking Bad, though I don't think I learned as much from it.

Also, personally found the CGI a problem only in the first season, mostly due to bad lighting. In the second season, after the lighting is fixed the designs of the ships for example, are quite lovely, with correct physics, even when looking a bit dated from other angles, such as resolution. No spaceships maneuvering like airplanes, yeah!

Definitely would be a great candidate to have the graphics redone, a la the Star Trek TOS.
The effects didn't held up mostly due to the fact that the studio at the time thought it would be cheaper to redo the effects rather than store them on a proper master.

This sadly resulted in the effects (the purely CGI rendered scenes) being an interlaced crap fest on the DVD while the rest of show was in somewhat acceptable standard.

I've recently bought the boxset from Amazon for like 50 quid and rewatched it on a Sony 4K TV and the upscaling that Sony does made the show quite watchable still, not good but watchable.

That said the pre-remaster TNG releases are also an interlaced nightmare up to season 4 or 5.

I do agree with the rest B5 pretty much had to squeeze 2-3 seasons worth of content into Season 4 which meant that the 4th season ended up feeling rushed with most of the plot lines not getting the amount of effort they deserved considering the effort that was put into seeding them during the previous 3 years.

The 5th season under TNT was pretty much garbage, the last few episodes with the centaury falling under the influence of the Drakk were ok but honestly they should've just cut the entire Drakk plotline from S4 with the cancelation looming it would've saved us from having to watch Season 5, CTA and the horror that was Crusade.

B5 was a shining example of how a show can look like when the runners have the entire plot set up from the get go, too bad it's legacy got spoiled with Crusade, Legends on the Rangers, I'm not sure what happened my own personal opinion is that MJS probably needed much more help than he or the fans would admit.
Euro coins only go up to 2 euros, does that really make such a difference?

Here in the Netherlands we don't really use the 1 and 2 eurocent coins anymore. It was decided that they're just annoying, so (almost?) all shops always round prices to the nearest amount that can be divided by 5 cents (Only when you pay with cash, electronic payments are not rounded. Naturally you can still pay with 1 and 2 cent coins, you'll just never get them back as change). I visit Germany a couple of times a year and it always surprises me they're still bothering with those 1 and 2 cent coins.
I'm curious about how the pricing compares. I'm not very satisfied with AWS ES, but managing ES manually doesn't seem like the most fun either. (In fairness it looks like there's not too many knobs to turn, but it's still another concern to have to personally deal with.)
All of those statements are consistent with the concept that I am attempting to communicate through the imprecise medium of natural language.

> What is it about entanglement that is asymmetric that isn't just "that's how entanglement is defined"?

Entanglement is symmetric. You can reverse an entanglement. But only by returning the entangled particles to the same physical location.

The reason that this symmetric quantum process gives rise to (what appears to us to be) a time-asymmetric classical universe is that what we classical entities actually are is massively entangled systems of vast numbers of quantum particles (or, to be as precise as I can, we are quantum systems with a vast number of mutually entangled degrees of freedom). All those entanglements can be reversed, but if you reverse them, the result is not "moving backwards in time" as humans commonly conceptualize it. The result is rewinding the whole universe to a previous state. That is actually possible in principle. As I note at the end of the essay, there is no way to distinguish a universe that is constantly being rewound and replayed from the universe we live in. But what most people think of as going backwards in time is rewinding the whole universe with the exception of themselves to a previous state. That's not possible.

I don't actually know what the consequences are of applying this idea to CTCs. I don't understand CTCs well enough to do it myself. There's probably a thesis or two in there somewhere. Mixing QM and GR is a rare skill.
It's less "terrifying" than the current alternative, where people can openly support various forms of extreme violence, get away with it, and monetize on the way.

Mind you this "internet" is private biz. This is a pretty obvious "don't vomit on my rug" case. Don't like it? Find another party.
Uber being more mainstream has nothing to do with quality comparison.

Even so, tell me again which is actually the crappy toilet paper in this comparison...

I use Lyft primarily because of the grossly offensive scandals surrounding Uber, I'm talking even from the early days when execs were caught bragging about threatening journalists, to sex abuse, to lying to everyone about their 6 blown red lights in a single week during self driving AI testing in SF. The services do the same thing, almost exactly; Uber's track record might as well be the deciding factor.
>Whole Foods customers are in better shape

> There was always something cringeworthy about the deferential and meek actors representing the warrior race that almost exterminated humanity (Minbari)

That would be down to the three-caste system (warrior, worker, religious).

Personally I didn't have an issue with the way even the religious caste were portrayed - peace-loving but fearsome when wronged.

_Spoilers_

I mean, the entire Human-Minbari war was down to a misinterpretation (about open gun ports) - and revenge, of course. The fact that Delenn was religious caste makes her initiation of the war even more poignant.
The difference between front and backend web applications is nothing more but where the views are rendered - which on client side also means managing state and IO.

This means Rails and Angular are doing the same job - the main difference is where data keeping and rendering is done.
>Also, if you're only giving real-world work tasks, do you screen at all for basic competence first?

I've done both with and without. I honestly found it hard to make judgments about what effect what I was doing was having on the hiring funnel though.

If you're talking about that rather than later stage hiring then yes, I agree it's a different kettle of fish.
I never understood this. They start printing $1 coins and complain that nobody uses them. Then they stop printing them.

Of course nobody uses them. Their wallets are filled with bills. That they keep printing. Then they announce a coin that will surely be cancelled in a few months, and collectors jump on it.

Americans would use a $1 coin if the deployment strategy wasn't garbage, condemning them to collector status almost immediately.
It's surely better than the current situation of literal neo-Nazis openly talking on YouTube about “white genocide” and how the “Jewish question” must be “solved”, without Google seemingly so much as batting an eyelid.
You don't understand? Just read the thousands, probably millions, of explanations on that and other advantages and disadvantages of both dynamic and static languages in the thousands, probably millions, of discussions that have been about it for the past sixty years.

What? You thought dynamic languages were a new fad? They have existed as long as computer science has, exactly like static languages.

For what it's worth, the "productivity value" is demonstrably minimal if we're talking about good coders. And it's not like bad coders wouldn't run into roadblocks with static languages that don't exist in dynamic ones.
I would disagree.
For instance, there are at least two syntaxes in use to describe hashes; parentheses are optionally (and inconsistently) used and so on.
Rails suffers from the same issues as does the language
When I was young I overvalued what other people thought. I did things because society says it's good if you do them. Now years later I regret it. On the flip side I undervalued the development of my own thinking.

These days I think other people overvalue what others think, what the news says, whether the news has "credibility". The thing is once a publication, news outlet, website gains credibility, it will begin to be manipulated by others to produce dubious information to take advantage of this new credibility. It takes some time for the credibility of the news outlet to catch up and go down. Meanwhile everyone is accepting the dubious news as fact, news that was created for the purpose of manipulating opinions. And I say this of all news, not just "fake news" or whatever.

The point of news for me now isn't what the news says, it's what opinion does the news wants to manipulate me into. That's a lot more newsworthy for me.
Just got back from Europe. Can't stand those 1 and 2€ pieces. The worst part is when we got back to change our leftover euros back to dollars, the bank wouldn't take the coins. Now I have a stack of them sitting on my dresser.
Perhaps air traffic control centres should start playing heavy metal to reduce accident rates.
I've heard a lot of Uber ads on the radio this year, seeking drivers.
I didn't say there are no exceptions.

I have an e-bike, live near public transport, bike lanes, and hate owning my car too. Would I switch to using Lyft exclusively? If the south bay invested more in the VTA like Muni in the city, and Lyft was much cheaper for long distance driving, yes. Otherwise, no.

Radicalization is a very real issue as we're getting ever more entrenched in our curated echo-chambers - I'm glad they're taking a stand.

Unfortunately I fear the damage has already been done, and these policy changes will almost certainly push newly-popularized radicals onto platforms Google has no meaningful influence over.

The author could easily base calculations off of cost(100; 1, 2, 5, 20, 40) and multiply the result by 5 to find the new optimal coin. This avoids unduly weighting values which are impossible without a penny which is what cost(500; 5, 10, 25, 100, 200) would do.

I don't see a distinction between absent mindedness and being inconsiderate - no malice is required. When someone bumps into you on the street because they're too busy fiddling with their phone to pay attention to where they're going, they're not considering you or the people around them, they're absorbed by their own world and become your typical inconsiderate bell-end.
The default string type is a unicode string since Python3, a special string type for unicode had been part of the language since somewhere in the early 2.x releases (which happened 5+ years before 3.0, in the early 2000s). Not being the default, it of course wasn't generally supported in libraries and still a lot later than Ruby.

That's the status quo. One could argue nearly anything is political content, or art. They're announcing that they're going to draw the line differently, not that they're drawing a line for the first time.
Ask HN: It's mid 2017. For a brand new project, how would you set up CI/CD?
CI/CD has been around for a while now, and the landscape and tools have shifted over time.

If you had a clean slate, how would you go about setting up your CI/CD for a brand new web application? What tools would you choose, what would your process look like? What pitfalls would you avoid?
I don't really want to help you resuscitate this particar long-dead sf fan holy war. But "deferential and meek"? Really? Minbari aren't portrayed with an in-your-face style of conflict very often - with one notable exception that informs the entire story - but they're involved in conflict aplenty.

I get that the show's a bit camp, especially now that technology has advanced by leaps and bounds to make B5's then-groundbreaking CGI work really show its age. But yours isn't a fair or accurate description of its qualities. In particular, I'm not sure how you can support a claim that B5 is less "cerebral and subtle" than TNG, a show whose writers never met a clumsy, ham-fisted moral browbeating they didn't like - DS9 has more to recommend it in that regard, I agree - but compared to a show with five-year-long plot arcs, with events in the first few episodes literally paying off years later, and with influences and references drawn from a range broad enough to encompass Tolkien, World War I, Bester, philosophy and political theory from Hume and Locke to Nietzsche and Carlyle, Jewish mysticism, Christian theology, Olaf Stapledon, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and that's just off the top of my head...honestly, where are you getting this?
There's Ethereum Classic with is the original chain that survived the hard fork without the "reversion", which has $2B market-cap if that matters. But more than that it has fans that believe in Ethereum but know the value of immutability.
I'd rather have the neo-Nazis spewing their bullshit out in public, where everyone can see how stupid it is. Driving something underground only makes it more attractive in the end - after all, if it was wrong The Man wouldn't need to suppress it, right?
The basic state of human nature seems to be struggle. I suspect the engineers at Google understand quite deeply how serious this is. But I am afraid we are approaching a state of war.

As with all weapons, there is no doubt a risk that enemies will get the weapons. Open source will in fact make it easier. Network control will be more important.

And there are many, many fronts. Trump. ISIL. Any number of dictators (the Chinese Communist Party, Putin's oligarchy). And only a few bright lights of democracy.
Vue.js is simpler and complete with integrated well-documented core components that's much faster than Angular.

Vue being stewarded by Benevolent Dictator is why it has an elegant design that's more pleasurable to use. Angular2+ has morphed into another design by committee complex monstrosity requiring much more code, conceptual and cognitive overhead to achieve the same result.
Supporting violence and hate isn't acceptable in any other format, why should the Internet be excluded.
I would expect a senior engineer working on Web technologies to be at least familiar enough with what both Java and Rails are to be able to start that conversation.

It doesn’t require an in-depth knowledge of either, but this question would serve as a great way to get a basic level of an applicants knowledge.
