Please don't post unsubstantive drive-by flamebait like this on Hacker News.
I love how somehow in spite of women being heavily represented in the beginnings and development of computer science and nothing standing in women's ways, not to even mention all the squandered efforts and resources to "bend the curve" of reality, somehow the fact that not a lot of women go into computer science even after qualifications are goosed and numbers are fudged, it's somehow some schizophenic delusion of a patriarchy's fault.

It's really getting tiring that women not wanting to go into computer science, or any field for that matter ... where are the cries for women trash collectors and construction workers ..., is somehow anyone and everyone's fault but women making choices and having preferences that lead them down other paths.
On my next side project will use pyramid next aiohttp or tornado. Python has a good ecosystem of libs. Pick one when you need it. Django is perhaps the less pythonic option. After some time doing go and js.. I prefer the lib approach.. on the end you don't need so many things to quickly respond to http requests ;)
I always saw it as Django is the lady with the 30 pound purse that has everything you could possibly need on a trip to disneyland and Flask was the guy who showed up to the camping trip wondering why everybody else brought a tent when it's so nice out.
Do you have part-time positions for students (MRes, in my case)?

I stopped using it because it had a slow memory leak. I monitored the process in windows and it grew 4kb every second or so.

But yeah... fun times.
Agree that's shitty. Suggest the female founders who dealt with McClure (including and especially those NOT funded) get together and file a class action lawsuit against the fund. Then they can own it, or at least a big piece of it. When women take action on that scale this kind of thing will be policed much more carefully... but it will take powerful people losing 8/9 figure money.

And Django powers some huge sites as well. IMO the magic doesn't really hurt you there as long as your still working with a relatively monolithic piece of software.
What do you mean, "paying off capital"? There's no way salaries amount to less than about 90% of the total.

Remote/Freelance: Yes/Yes

Résumé: http://smoqadam.me/static/Resume.pdf

GitHub: http://github.com/smoqadam

About: I worked as a back-end developer in large scale applications. Here are some of my professional highlights:
- OOP and design patterns

- Strong with Laravel, Yii, Symfony

- Python, Django, Flask

- Test Driven Development

- Great experience with Mysql

- Good knowledge in NoSQL Databases such as MongoDB and Redis

- Wordpress theme and plugin development

- Linux and Bash scripting

- Firefox/Chrome add-on development
Just wondering, why zeroes not /dev/urandom for example?
Is there any guarantee that getting rid of the notability criteria is going to result in a more meritocratic system? I doubt it myself. It might help some women or minorities that have been overlooked become more notable, but it also opens the floodgates for anyone to be notable, which sort of destroys the purpose.

Technically it's systemd/linux.
It's a scam usually. When something breaks people's understanding of the world, a lot of imagination creeps in, followed by loads and loads of snake oil, even sincere snake oil, which is just mistakes.

Sure, but that just means there are several generations around to digest each meal. You're looking at very few meals over 3 days.
It seems like there's a spectrum of outcomes here. As a user, I don't particularly care about system files, I care about the state of the system. In fact, if all this does is protect system files, then a ransomware attack would just wipe out all my user files and revert the machine back to a fresh install-- an identical outcome to if I just reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows. Not helpful!

Really, this scheme needs to include the entire contents of the drive-- "freezing" the restore points Windows makes automatically. Now the tradeoff is how often you annoy the user/how fresh the backups will be. Once a year is obviously too infrequent, once a second is too often. Once a week, or month. Maybe do it at the same time as Windows does a system update, as you suggest.

You don't need fancy hardware support for this, just a NAS backup box with a client that doesn't let you erase older snapshots.
So "append only" not "disable writes", got it. I could see that being useful in auditing logs.
This clearly uses many parts of VS Code source code. So the question is - why bother creating another inferior to VS Code editor?

AFAIK you can run VS Code on cloud without problems since it's Electron to the core.

Mastercoin, mentioned in the article, is now down to 85th place on Coin Market Cap.

Despite all this smart contract stuff, few of these "ICO coins" give the holders any authority over anything. It's not like 51% of the coin holders can fire management.

Ethereum now has half the market cap of Bitcoin, despite the total failure of the DAO, the one big application of the smart contract technology. See "Use Cases Of Ethereum In Different Sectors 2016".[1] It's been six months; what's actually working?

* Branche.io - payday loans. Got as far as the initial token offering 6 months ago. Then, nothing. Did they take the money and run?

* Iconomi.net - "digital asset management platform" - site says "Coming in 2017".

* Augur.net - prediction/gambling platform. Not yet operating for real, but there's a play-money beta.

* RexMLS.com - distributed real estate listing service. Was supposed to have test listings live in April 2017. Didn't happen.

* truststamp.net - distributed identity system to detect fake social accounts. "Connect your Social Networks. The more accounts you connect, the higher your potential Trust Score! Your account information is not stored and your privacy is protected." Not working yet. If it did work, spammers could defeat it by creating interlinked fake accounts on Twitter, Facebook, etc., which some already do.

* chainy.info - store misc. info such as URL shortening bindings on the Etherium blockchain. This seems to work, but isn't used much. If it caught on like tinyurl, the Ethereum blockchain would choke on the traffic.

* uport.me - "self sovereign identity". Still at "sign up for alpha".

* dynamisapp.com - supplementary unemployment insurance that checks LinkedIn to see if you're employed. Not working. Last blog update January 2016.

* ico.inchain.io - insurance against cyber hacks. Site not responding.

* ujomusic.com - some kind of music platform. Not working yet.

* peertracks.com - distributed music royalty system. Not working yet.

* singulardtv.com - distributed video payment system. 5000 Twitter followers! Not working yet.

* beyond-the-void.net - game with Ethereum contracts for in-game currency. Beta version downloadable. At least it's running.

* firstblood.io - e-sports where you can put up money on your play. Alpha available, no beta yet.

* etherplay.io - "Play games and win tokens" - "Coming Soon".

* akasha.world - distributed social network. There's a downloadable alpha.

* vdice.io - online gambling. Like Satoshi Dice, but for Etherium. "Coming soon".

* slock.it - the guys with the DAO and the IoT door lock. That didn't end well.

* electricchain.org - buy and sell solar power over the Ethereum block chain. Lots of PR. May actually be working on a tiny scale.

* lo3energy.com - another energy trading system. Lots of PR, no operating installations.

So that's what people are actually doing with Ethereum. Not all that much. Even the online gambling startups aren't fully operational.

I guess this could be considered kind of OT. On the other hand, if people were introduced to it sooner, before and outside of the context of a personal investment, i.e. "proving" their own research, we might be better off also with regard to our science.

Delaying statistics until college -- for most public school programs -- is a mistake.

It leaves a large portion of the U.S. population with a fundamental mathematical illiteracy.

And given the degree to which statistics rule our lives and collective decisions these days, a societal illiteracy.

Just look around you.
Well, sometimes there could be a bug lingering around. But that could be the case with any software. Probably just keep the old kernel around as well. Just in Case.

I am in the healthcare industry (public services) and I actually agree with both sides of the argument. Freeing healthcare data from its current ethical/legal shackles would definitely allow for great things in science. It is just as true that it destroys privacy at the population level. There is no doubt that the data will also be used to evil ends and restrains everyone's right to autodetermination (destabilizing politicians, discrimination on hiring, etc.) so the question is simply "do we, as the whole population, want to take that risk?". Some will say yes, others no. This should be subject to a vote at the national level. Progress has often impinged on individual freedom in the past, and I am pretty confident we will solve this the usual way: without asking the public's opinion.

While I've surely "pirated" plenty of audio files in my day, I wouldn't say the majority of mine are like that. Most are ripped from the hundreds (no exaggeration) of CDs I bought new and used all through high school and college or purchased from Amazon, etc.

Still, pirated or not, I like having a space on my NAS for my traditional Music/Artist/Album/[track]_[title].mp3 folder structure. Pointing Winamp at it works fine for the majority of my listening at home.

Of course I've come a long way from running an unlicensed Shoutcast station in the early 2000's (it was nice having a friend who worked at a small hosting company who gave me the space to host the server and all the bandwidth I could need to stream to my massive audience of maybe 5 or 6 people at once ;)) but I still love listening to streaming "radio" in the car without any need for subscriptions or any hardware other than my phone. I've been doing it since I had a Palm Treo, but the move from a max data rate of ~256k/sec to LTE has certainly helped.

Only thing I really miss these days in Winamp is a way to cast to Chromecast/Chromecast audio in other parts of the house. Not sure if anyone's hacked together a plugin but I haven't really looked.

4 Ways to Determine a Software Vendor’s Agility
Normal Software – insights and ideas for techies from businesses outside of tech
Django's magic and some really "Unpythonic" implementations of magic are mostly annoying when you're trying to use it in any context other than serving exactly one webapp over HTTP per process.

(Unrelated blurb:) Pyramid's design contains a lot of wisdom; some folks working on it have been doing Python web frameworks since the web came into existence.
What besides reddit?
Can someone explain to me what he did exactly?

I know he messaged a woman saying "I don't know if I should hire you or hit on you."

What kind of environment were they in? Were they hanging out socially or professionally? Was she formally in a recruitment process with his firm?

It seems to me that they were in a socially ambiguous situation and that McClure interpreted the environment wrong and did some innocuous flirting. This doesn't seem like a huge deal to me.

This stepping down from his job and public self-flagellation seems overblown to me but I feel like I may not fully understand what his actions exactly were.

This is a really cool idea! I've been interested in getting into fiction for a while. Short stories seem like a great way to do this.
