> I'm hoping someday people will realize that none of this is objective, and there are actually perspectives dramatically different than their own.

The issue isn't whether this or that form of expression is okay with someone or okay with everyone. Again we look to things like self-defense and assault: these cases are not settled by the judge doing a poll to see if someone else would feel intimidated in a similar situation or if everyone (that they could find) would feel fine with it.

The issue is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct irritating, coercive or intimidating in the work place.

> ...I still feel like we are closing in on a world where any expression of sexuality or attraction is disallowed.

There is something to what you're saying here. Often people supplant the "reasonable person" standard with a "someone feels bad" standard -- I have seen it places I've worked, though not with regards to sexual harassment. But two wrongs do not make a right. The alternative to the "someone feels bad" standard is not the "yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man" standard.

> If people feel they can't work at a place with a certain set of rules or philosophies then they need to simply move on.

Why do you believe they "need" to move on? Why can't they stand and fight?

I'd like to see some relative size indicated by the rankings. In the search category, Yahoo is listed at #3 behind Google and Baidu, but I'll bet it is a distant third. In the movies category, Rotten Tomatoes is listed at #3, but I'll bet it is a close race between the top three. Can you post a score metric next to their rankings? Or maybe I'm not seeing it on mobile?
This pretty much happens all over the globe.
One solution is for local/state/federal government archives to be better about responding to Freedom of Information requests. The researchers gets the data online, and the Archives finally get their materials digitized at no cost to them (the requestor bears the fair costs of digitization, the labor, and the shipping, if needed). Everybody wins!

It's interesting how you described that process -- I actually distinctly realized around middle school that lingering thoughts led to visualizations and eventually sleep. I got good enough at training myself to close my eyes and start thinking about non-stressors/random thoughts to trigger fast and easy sleep, most of the time. It doesn't really work if there is something significant on my mind, like a work or personal issue.

> But where's the difference between not being able to pull vs. not receiving metrics for a period of time?

Let's say I have a service that's only used once per day, at a random point in the day. I need to know if the service is available all the time, even if it's not used. With pull, I'll get back an 'OK' e.g. every minute. You could say that we should implement heartbeats, but again, then this service needs to be configurable to pick up changes in the monitoring infrastructure, then I need to have a separate check for the presence of heartbeats and the values of the samples..

It's astounding how powerful the Red Cross brand is. I'd like to read a study how how much the brand influences donors. For example, try to raise money using identical mechanisms under a different header.

Also, I liked this: "I'm not a big mathematician, but I can make some additions. It doesn't add up for me."
Could you look at a single view in that game and see simultaneously every unit and element is in the game and their attributes?

I know the answer is no. I know you know the answer is no. We both know this was the contention that was being made. It wasn't that computers cant handle complex games, or that they can't dusplay lots of complex information, it was just that they can't show all of that all at the the same time in one view. That's all.

Why are you doing this?
Interesting -- according to dictionary.com [0], fulsome is another one where the meaning that seems to be recently emerging, and therefore nonstandard, is actually the original (in this case dating back to the 13th century). I tend to agree with this author, though, that "offensively excessive" is a useful meaning; we have words for the other meaning, like "abundant" and "copious".

A lot of these I don't personally care too much about, but to see hoi polloi and nonplussed used in approximately the opposite of their original senses ... leaves me nonplussed.

I've been through this as well, but I think that while for example Focault and co. use complex writing to hide their lack of ideas, if you can look past Baudrillard's complexity he's unmatched visionary. Probably the best critic of capitalism I've ever encountered.

Apart from the pop-culture references others have mentioned, the top Google search result is a fairly well-known fashion brand (https://www.jaeger.co.uk), I don't think anyone is that bothered by it. I'd guess the reason for using Jaeger vs. Jäger is simply that the former is much easier to type on many keyboards.

You might be reading a bit more into it than is warranted.
It's kind of surprising people still donate to Red Cross, given their extremely poor track record. I suppose they have brand name recognition. South Park had a great jab at them, with all the 9/11 donations being stored away in an Indiana Jones lost ark style warehouse.
I always wondered how the global offices looked for these big charity organizations. With $500M, I imagine they have offices in those urban corporate office skyscrapers and Silicon Valley tech company styled HQs.
Yes. I'd argue that it is more endemic in other countries. In particular, in many countries, bribery and corruption are a key part of the culture. It's a point of pride if you can bribe and cheat your way to the top.
Tiny? It's a bit more compact than other cities, but it's certainly not tiny. It's also damn hilly, which the riders can't enjoy much.

Uber's fares are subsidised (59%) by their VC funding [1], so they make a poor long-term comparison. Expect them to either corner the market, at which point fares go up, or run out of runway.

I'd say it's sad, but not surprising. People are sheep.
Absolutely. "Hunter" seems like a perfectly acceptable name for something that collects data, and I can almost guarantee that the vast majority of Americans have never even heard of the term. Most Americans in my experience have have little to no knowledge of WWI, let alone the Jadgstaffl. To object to the name on such grounds seems pedantic in the extreme to me.

Edit: typo
Legit question - what's the alternative?
Oh yeah, no idea why I got 30% stuck in my head.

The decade old, open source, self hosted, debug it yourself standard for monitoring is collectd+graphite+grafana.

The equivalent easy to setup and use, with ALL the features working out of the box, SaaS standard is https://www.datadoghq.com/ or potentially Google Stack driver if you are on Google Cloud.
IMHO Docker is overkill for trying out a new version of gcc. Multiple versions of gcc can exist in separate directories just fine.
Are you sure about that? Can you point to a clause in the standard?

What may certainly cause the behavior you describe, though, is creating a pointer to an out-of-bounds element of an array.

It depends on whether you are driving for them as a self employed driver or an employee. As an employee you earn 9€/hour minimum, some get 10€/h .. tips are an extra of 0-5€/h .. you are required 60 hours minimum per month.

As a self employed rider you get 5.50€ per delivery, but have to pay health and social insurance yourself. Employees have to pay less than half of the total cost.

How much you sit around or compete with others depends on the shifts you take ..

It could be a pretty attractive job for someone that likes to take off-peak shifts and read or work on something else while having to do the occasional delivery in his home neighborhood.

It can get even nicer if one can log in from home. It does happen frequently, that no deliveries happen at all during shifts, so one really can focus on other projects while getting paid by deliveroo.

I honestly am surprised how deliveroo manages to keep the restaurants on board. They have to give more than 30% of the earnings to deliveroo, most restaurant owners are extremely annoyed and frustrated with the service and are already playing with the idea of pulling the plug again. Since recently deliveroo tries to force the cost for the paper bags onto the restaurants(13cents), which exacerbates the situation...

From an environmental perspective they are contributing to an enormous amount of garbage, the majority of containers are plastic and in the worst case styrofoam. As an example, riders sometimes have to drive by car for 5-8km because someone ordered a soup for 5€ (Plus 7€ to reach the minimum of 12€ and paid 2.90€ delivery fee on top of that).

This business model contributes to the convenience culture that we in the western world are celebrating and which is part-responsible for quite a few serious issues that we are now facing..

One thing deliveroo has going for them is that the people in charge are always very reasonable and friendly, treat their employees with respect and are quite forgiving. But I assume that this is simply because the whole system is very fragile and they know it. In my city there are always way too few drivers. It is apparent how desperately they need the drivers.

I was surprised to read about the funding, because i assumed the whole thing can't be sustainable in the long run.
Doctors without a frontier?
It's sad though, I think many europeans would like to donate money for people in need, but when you find out things like this ... Americans really managed to ruin this as well.
This is an important point, and it's why the "C should die" crowd is hard to take seriously. They've even started labeling people who use C as somehow morally suspect, as if we're bad people for choosing to use an unsafe language. We're knowingly putting people in danger! Right.

It's strange that the word "unsafe" has tainted people's thoughts so dramatically. Like calling torrenting music "piracy."
But if software/web are your profession, surely $5/mo on a droplet isn't too much of an investment.

Show HN: Prove your job skills to get hired
There are a few organizations that try to quantitatively evaluate charitable organizations and similar- notably (and off the top of my head), CharityWatch [1]. Donating based on their metrics (although not the irrefutable truth of the matter, likely enough) is likely to lead to better "returns" from a donation than going by brand/marketing power.

Notably, despite its prominence, Red Cross scores only a "B+" rating on CharityWatch.

That's really incredible. What's more fascinating is their 100% promise [1]:

> We send 100% of all donations directly to hire local workers and buy local materials so you know exactly where your donation is going.

Considering their Careers page lists they are hiring a software engineer, I dug a little further and found this info in their FAQ:

> How Does New Story Fund Operational Costs With A 100% Promise?

> We are committed to putting every cent of donor contributions to the building of homes. We fund our day-to-day operations by generous contributions from corporate investors and private individuals. Also, a majority of our incredible donors opt-in and add 10% onto their donation to fund New Story operations. If you are interested in investing in our organization, so we can serve even more families, email info@newstorycharity.org.

The FAQ mentions an investment opportunity, though I'm not sure what the investment is, besides charity social goodwill -- which of course, is a great thing.

Nice attempt of a PR stunt. "Google resists to hand hover 22 mail accounts" when in truth they hand over ALL of your email and surf data to the NSA, for later abuse. (willingly or not)
IMO, a nice chunk of donations are done so people feel better. "Everyone" likes Red Cross so a donation there is seen as safe so it's the easiest path.
In org you don't need to remember. You just `C-c C-l` and it interactively asks for a link. You can type it or paste the link from your clipboard. _Then_ it asks you for an optional description.

The same command works if you want to edit a link under the cursor.

Also, most people have `C-c l` bound to a function that “captures” the link from wherever you are in Emacs (e.g. a newsfeed, a document, an email, a folder) so you can easily reference those places from within Org.
I'll throw a line to Zizek. In his serious works, he does set out a systematic ontology of reality. I don't fully understand it, if there is even something to fully understand, but along the way he without doubt makes you think, and gives relatively accessible interpretations of a ton of other thinkers.

He's not a major philosopher like Kant, but he is much more than a charlatan or provocateur.

To his credit, I probably wouldn't have picked up his serious work if his antics hadn't first put him on my radar many years ago.
So much free software does as well: see facebook.
Agree. And I stopped using just eat when they required me to solve a captcha every time I wanted to order something.

But the real problem was deliveries. With just eat, the restaurant was in charge of the delivery. I found myself countless times wandering the streets around my block looking for the car of a delivery driver who didn't speak a word of english and was either too dumb or too lazy to get to the right place. Sort of defeats the purpose of a delivery.

Deliveroo did two things right: they took the burden of the delivery away from the restaurant and do it well, and they enlist quality restaurants, as opposed to the local kebab shop.
You should mention that in your article then, keeping in mind that the progression from F to A in most grading systems is linear and that some of us may not see the differences between calibers of engineers in the same way. That said I'm grasping for the grade analogy, as grades are highly dependent on the subject matter and other factors that I'd consider external, and represent a rigid point-in-time assessment.
legit question - why cant we donate a ton of lumber and nails and let the haitians figure it out?
> Jigsaw was what held up the Java 9 released, due to some members rejecting the proposal.

That was only a few weeks. If you check the official release schedule http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ Jigsaw was supposed to be feature complete a year before that vote happened. Jigsaw was simply not close to ready when it was merged to master. And yes, Oracle still claims it hit every milestone on that schedule.

> It was changed and revoted upon, but it's hard to follow what was modified to make it acceptable.

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/minutes/2017-05...

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/minutes/2017-05...

Not much really. Basically Oracle called their bluff. At that point is was really too late as Jigsaw was already merged to master and more or less touched every part of the JDK.

> Is there anywhere the design goals and constraints for modules are? I'd really like to know how they ended up in their current form.

Not really, it was really just Oracle making things up as they went. For the past ten years Mark Reinhold would give talks at Java conferences what the module system comping in the next Java version was supposed to do and every year the content was different. For example they have no good explanation while they mashed the module declaration into a .class file, basically everybody except Oracle thinks it's a bad idea but the just went with it anyway. They claim "reliable configuration" as a goal but without versioning that's meaningless.
> We're a nation of laws, not pitchforks.

We are a nation of what we choose to be laws and right now it feels like we are a nation where there's no responsibility for the people at the top. Plausible deniability has gone too far. As with everything in life, we need to seek balance and the balance is making sure the board and the CEO have an incentive to ensure the organization isn't systemically violating the spirit of the law.

We are a nation of laws but laws aren't something we got from the mountaintop. We need to tweak things sometimes.
You are conflating metrics collection and metrics storage.

The metrics collection needs to be done by a local agent installed on the system, for the reason you gave, that's the only place the data is available.

The metrics storage is somewhere else.

Prometheus does the storage. For the collection, you still have to install collectd, statsd or similar on your hosts.
Sure, prometheus could do a HTTP check remotely, but that won't get cover much of anything.
Well, strictly speaking, it's a bug in the example program. If it were fixed to not invoke undefined behaviour, then this unpredictable thing wouldn't happen.
> These are supposed to be the very last line of defense for security, including if lose your password manager.

Security questions aren't for security, they're against it. They're a tradeoff between security and usability, in the direction of usability. Assuming you answer security questions truthfully, they weaken the security of your account. It's like having multi-factor authentication, but instead of requiring all the factors, they just require any one of them. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it doesn't weaken the security so much that it's easy to break.

> Of course, it's terrible to use personal information that can be known to 3rd parties. It's also bad to reuse the same answers across multiple companies, as a compromise at one means you're at risk everywhere.

And here's the problem. Many/most sites that use security questions have a dropdown list of acceptable questions and don't let you enter your own. Often the only thing you can do to avoid making your account easily compromised is to make up answers to some of the questions.

The downside, is, of course, the usual downside with security tradeoffs that favor the security side of the equation: you may be completely unable to access your account again if you screw this up. And that's also not necessarily a bad thing, if you believe compromise to be a really bad outcome. I think it might be ok to do this for, say, a bank or brokerage account. If you manage to fully and truly lock yourself out online, likely you'll still be able to prove who you are and gain access through some means like visiting a physical branch and showing them your ID. A hassle, to be sure, but if it means that much to you, it might be worth it.

In the end, social engineering is still the biggest problem: other posters in this thread have claimed that they've gotten past the security questions by saying things like "oh, I just mashed the keyboard, that's why my answer is gibberish", or something like that. So there's no way to win, unless perhaps you invent plausible (but incorrect) answers to the questions. "Mother's maiden name? Well, it's actually Jones but I'm going to put in Smith." I imagine a talented social engineer might still be able to get past that, but at some point you just have to acknowledge you've done the best you can.

Network transparency lets headless compute servers in distant datacenters take advantage of the powerful GPU under my desk. To me one monitor per GPU makes a lot more sense than n cores per GPU plus the extra bandwidth for live video.

> If programmers paid more than lip service to responsibility, the whole dumb paradigm of "worse is better" would not exist in the first place.

I used to think like this but I've come to realize that there are two underlying tensions at play:

- How you think the world should work;
- How the world really works.

It turns out that good technical people tend to dwell a lot on the first line of thinking.

Good sales/marketing types on the other hand (are trained to) dwell on the second line of thinking and they exploit this understanding to sell stuff. Their contributions in a company, in general, are easier to measure relative an engineer since revenue can be directly attributed to specific sales effort.

"Worse is better" is really just a pithy quote on how the world works and it's acceptance is crucial to building a viable business. Make of that what you will.
