I find the original Code of Conflict (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...) to be more concise, more direct, and more applicable to kernel development. I don't see that the new CoC adds anything of value to it.
Rather off-topic, but I'm curious abut your view of Bezos charitably funding schools instead of improving his worker's conditions.
Let's be honest: the ones that helped me get the biggest raises. I work to live; not live to work.

> all the bullshit flying around

I didn't say that though, I said "important pieces of information" . You made least charitable interpretation of what I said and called it 'ridiculous'.

I am not saying all but i've seen managers use this excuse to justify withholding information to justify their usefulness to the project.

In what way does C not ignore errors?
ThinkPads have indeed declined in quality. Especially the keyboards have become very fragile and break under normal wear in a few years if not less. Replacing them at that point is normally impossible since that spare part is no longer in stock. Sad :(
I only used Apple products for about a decade, but last year I bought a Dell XPS which I run Ubuntu on. If you're looking to run linux, the XPS is a great choice. The hardware quality is extremely high---long battery life, ridiculous screen resolution (and it's a touchscreen), fast processor, and plenty of storage.

My only complaints stem from the fact that, when using linux, there are inevitably things that don't work as smoothly as they do on OSX, e.g., syncing with google drive.
Hackers Are Targeting Bitcoin with a Leaked NSA Software Tip
Did you mean “friends”, or am I not getting the pun?
I am surprised that there is no automated alert to tell the webmaster that his code has changed on his website. Especially on the payments page!

With 50,000,000 users a month, surely they have a whole team working on checkout, all the time?
Are they active, recurring users? I bet a good number of those are people who tried it for a week or two, realized it didn't cover their needs or they couldn't keep up with it or they didn't like all their information siloed in one application or something, and then stopped using it.

Like I tried Evernote once, for example, and I'm probably counted in that list of users, but I never used it for more than a couple of days before going back to Google Keep and Google Docs (with some Scrivener when I want to make an ebook).
I found the same thing but concluded the “price centerpoint” was Stanford. Ended up in Livermore :)
Talon seems impressive.

How is its accuracy for daily use? How about random navigation within a file, for example.

Does it have an active community?
I'm not sure I understand your analogy to drinking alcohol and insulting people?

I mean, you show up drunk to work and insult people, you get fired - right? What's the analogy to someone on the autistic spectrum?
As much as I like to bang on Apple for various and sundry reasons I go back to Apple every time because I can walk into any apple store in the world and I can get the thing serviced on the spot, often for free, but as a dev, time is money and I need something sorted right away.

This is what you're paying extra for when you buy a mac. Make no mistake.
>I'm a bit mixed about this; it is clearly discriminatory to publish a job ad that says "women need not apply",

In general that is discrimination, but as with all things in law the general rule only exists for exceptions. One exception is a “Bonafide occupational qualification”...some famous cases involve men playboy, hooters, and Abercrombie and Fitch (though A&F was a case of discrimition against blacks, which A&F attempted to defend by arguing being white was a bonafide occupation qualification because it fit their overall marketing and target demographic).
Not if the set of answers includes "couldn't determine an upper bound".

Many (but not all) problems become a whole lot easier if you restrict them to sane inputs. Determining an upper bound on stack size is especially interesting for, e.g., embedded software, and the intersection of "sane embedded program" and "program with complex stack size behavior" is rather small.
Yes, and that's also an increasingly important point, given e.g. AWS's use of Redis.
Do you have such automated alerts set up yourself? Do you know anyone with such alerts set up?
What do you mean? Error checking for C is very inconsistent (sentinel values and errno), so surely that's worse?
PCI also doesn't necessarily mandate some common sense things either, like monitoring for unexpected changes on the cart page.
I am not even going to google what ISTR means. I'm just not. It is something so useless that it doesn't need to be said at all and can be ignored.
The X220/30 is still a very viable Dev machine if you don't mind the screen.

As a word of caution, I went down the MBP route myself and was recently caught with the dust under the keyboard membrane problem. You probably aren't accurately evaluating how annoying it is to randomly lose your laptop for a few weeks while they repair the keyboard. I certainly was not.
I always recommend a ThinkPad. I've been using my T420 for years and it's still holding up great. From what I've seen, the newer laptops are just as durable.

I have run OpenBSD, Windows, and various Linux distributions on it without a hitch. Full driver support is the norm since they use very standard parts.

I fit three drives in mine and the keyboard is excellent for a laptop.
This is not lifestyle advertising. Tenders, job ads and other categories that require equal access and transparency have rules to prevent exactly this kind of discrimination and skullduggery.

Facebook had made an error here, as has Uber and this is a pretty straightforward violation.
iOS WhatsApp backs up to iCloud. Don't see any Google Drive option.
If this headline was changed to "Facebook Is Letting Job Advertisers Target Only Women" this wouldn't be news and it would be hailed as the most progressive move of the century. With that, this isn't news, and definitely doesn't belong on the front page of Hacker News.
This is the best short form definition of a data scientist I've heard yet.
I use an XPS 9560 for personal projects/personal use but keyboard is so so on it and lenovo keyboard is so much better.

At work I use HP 15u g3, which is also mediocre imo.

To be honest I just prefer desktop with a mechanical keyboard. Having 5Ghz CPU really helps.

I have not use latitude in a while, but dealing with dell is usually terrible. However, the on-site service is good.
Why would they have any more problem buying talent than anyone else?
Ranch is a gateway.

If you really want an eye-opening flavor experience, try dipping pizza in toum (Lebanese garlic sauce).
What if you have a UEFI motherboard with a BIOS bootloader like Syslinux?
This is how we did web analytics in the old days. The original WebTrends was just a log analyzer for apache.
I worked for an unlimited design company for my summer internship. This was my first instance of a job interaction with any company.

What amazed me was the founders spent most of their time teaching designing to all interns/designers in the company. Considering interns are temporary, and yet investing time in teaching interns was what made my experience so great.
What VCs are you talking about? Signal isn't VC-funded. It's grant-funded.
I can answer this.

Besides the obvious honey advantage, bee stings hurt much much less.

This week I have had the fortune of having been stung by both. The bee was accidental, I swatted my neck absent mindedly, and basically stung myself. It hurt, and mildly throbbed for hours afterward, and was slightly tender for a day or so.

The wasp stung my ankle while walking in the grass, having inavertently walked on an underground wasp nest. They signaled and all exited the nest and chased me. They were still stinging my clothing as I stripped, yelling like a hellfire preacher. Somehow I only got stung on my foot, but that did not stop a whole body alergic reaction, and some of the most intense local pain I have ever experinced. It subsided after about a day, after which all swelling was gone. I read wasps are a 3(out of 4) on the biting pain scale by the nutjob that gets posted here yearly.

That is my own, highly biased, but fresh, opinion on this matter.

However, lest I leave readers hating wasps, many are prolific bug killers. I think one species is one of the few to attack boring beetles. If they would only drive off the invasive ground squirrels whose holes they often inhabit.
Zero. It's grant-funded.
Dell XPS has been great for me.
I'm still confused as to how they could insert code here.

Are we talking about a server intrustion where they modified the actual cart code, or something between Newegg and the payment servers? (Sorry this isn't my domain, I'm just curious)
Disliking short sellers is not the same as intent to defraud the public. Every CEO dislikes short sellers. Intent to commit fraud is absolutely the hardest part of this to prove.
The former lead developer at the place I work now was my favorite manager. He was great and a valuable resource for learning from. Since his departure the environment hasn't been the same. He definitely was always able to ensure that when reviews were done that he was critical but also genuinely cared about the other developers.

What qualities make a good CEO/Manager/Supervisor?

1) Passions/genuine caring. If the person in charge doesn't love what they do, or genuinely care about you and the company then you're going to have a bad time.

2) Competency/Consistency - Being able to do you job, and do it well. A person in such a role is the Guidance (tm). Anyone can do a good job if they put in the time, they also must be consistently good (That's what makes them valuable).

3) Critical when it counts. You have to crack the whip every so often and tell people when something can be done better. Criticism is important to deal out when it is needed, but the right amount that is used for making sure that the other developer/designer/delegatee is growing in their skills/experiences.

That's my three C's for what makes a great overlord. My previous supervisor ticked all boxes.
I assumed it was just the novelty of the bridge breaking immediately after being finished.
Unfortunately that is a monopoly (dont want to promote the brand) but hopefuly competition will rebound with tablets.
You get the same thing software-wise too. No time spent trying to figure out why powertop is sucking battery life away or dual graphics aren't switching over or it's waking up from sleep in your backpack or the trackpad is bugging out. It's totally worth paying the extra few hundred for an OS X machine.
Breaking the Deadlock Between User Experience and Developer Experience
Code is supposed to change on the website all the time, though, when they run a deploy. Surely they do have a team working on checkout, but it isn't obvious how this would be detected. The article leaves out how they got the malicious javascript onto the page in the first place, though, so it's hard to say.
My feedback: someone else mentioned making the tiny live demo button bigger. I suggest scrapping it entirely... and embedding the demo statistics directly under the video, or very close to it, to go straight from "why" to "what it looks like". The chart/stats page design is sufficiently clean that shoving the whole thing onto the homepage won't actually be an information overload.

Speaking of the video, it's ridiculously professionally done, by the way; excellent acting to begin with and perfect line delivery (confident, well-timed, no hesitancy/awkwardness) as far as I'm concerned.

-

Apart from this, my only other advice is - reject buy offers, reject partner offers, sleep on VC offers for as long as you can (if, ideally, you don't outright reject these as well), and take this as far as possible on your own. I say this considering two standpoints.

a) Considering the developer: this is incredibly well done and you clearly have the competency to drive this forward without assistance. The website and video presentations are both great; the product defaults easily tick "sane enough"; and the only thing stopping me throwing money at the screen is that I have no projects that need this right now - but others definitely will, and I look forward to seeing this go viral.

b) Considering the product: "oooo internet privacy" is a well-trodden path with a thousand and one different options which are all terrible in their own way. You have the opportunity to differentiate by offering something that gains a reputation for actually not compromising, even months and years down the track by working to eliminate some of the sociopolitical cascade that can contribute to dilution of quality. Customers have sadly had good reason to associate buyouts with rapid decline in quality, so that sort of thing just looks bad at face value too.

To clarify what I mean by taking this as far as you can on your own: it's obvious others have already provided assistance - filming and acting in the video, and for all I know beta testing and maybe other development support - and I'm not pointing at that and suggesting it will bite you. I mean that, if you ever bring help on, find a good lawyer who will ensure the project remains _yours_ and make sure there are no implicit "50/50" partnership agreements or the like.

I can't find the references right now but I've read of a couple of projects/products that have exploded sideways (very sadly) because of jealousies and impedance mismatches creating imbalances that provoke partners brought onto projects to assume control and pivot things out of a creator's control, without the creator having any legal recourse.
Bulletproof Deploy for Shiny Apps
it sounds like you assume that (an unnamed) we *has* to be in the United States.

I wouldn't say this to anyone on hn who uses "we" without a qualifier because I assume as a matter of course that everyone on this website is aware that there are non American users. The pedantry here isn't appreciated.

I’m going to sorely disappoint you there…

You will be surprised
You could argue that if it is very early stage, then it's maybe not the right time to charge $12/month.
> Laws like these are not criminal laws, and are not meant to be enforced if by that you mean policed. It's up to someone to file a lawsuit, if they think the law is on their side. Then a judge will have to rule whether or not the law applies in that particular case, and in doing so they may set a precedent which will influence how later cases will be judged.

This is one of the reasons that the "loser pays" approach to the cost of litigation used in much of the rest of world would not work well in the US. We use private civil lawsuits to enforce things that would be enforced by government agencies in much of the rest of the world, so it is important that individuals can bring lawsuits against much bigger, much better funded entities without having to worry about getting wiped out financially if they lose.
Annihilation was not a good movie. The book was reasonable, the movie was junk. Nothing was disturbing or thought provoking. I chalk it up to the tomb raider imagery: little girl in jungle with big gun. And the final scene was filmed as a ridiculous sexual metaphor, a director just playing for the audience.
I hadn't heard of Eliezers AI Box. That is literally the film.

Googling around that and the movie name led me to this essay - some interesting stuff about Turings imitation game, and what Caleb should have done, and whether Ava was right to do what it did. http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/women-in-ai-boxes-ex-mac...
This is not yet a kernel. This is code booting into protected mode and handling some interrupts.
Edit: This might be one of those cases where I need to explicitly say I agree with the following statement before giving pushback on the thing it defends. Things we strive for should be their best possible version, even if criticizing the current from means giving trolls and opposition ammunition.

>But the purpose of such a code is not to threaten anybody; indeed, it is the opposite.

The fact that this is regularly and explicitly clarified indicates the original document is poorly drafted.

For the sake of avoiding the obvious tangents, lets presuppose the best possible interpretation of the original code. Even in that case, no amount of blaming the people that made the clarification necessary (by - for example - saying that they're uncharitably reading the original) makes the code better drafted.
Unless you buy a new MBP and your keyboard randomly goes out. I'm currently enjoying the 2-3 week turnaround on that.
Headline should be "Voice Configurator -- Alexa skill to configure by voice."
Bear supports Latex. You can try writing your equations and tables in a Latex code block.
Well, My bridge is still standing. My software has not lasted as well.
I had so many problems with my XPS that I switched to a Macbook for the first time ever after 1.5 years of using it. My development process went something like this:

- Start to code.
- Find weird quirk (laptop keeps typing multiple letters, screen resolution doesn't match up, random lag).
- Research weird quirk to see if I can fix it.
- Forget why I was even on my computer.
When WhatsApp was acquired, it didn't have meaningful cryptographic security. Facebook funded the integration of Signal protocol into WhatsApp after the acquisition. So there goes that theory.
You could also just yell into a pillow. Half the time it's just as effective as reporting a bug to Apple without knowing someone there.

You can spend a lot of time writing a good bug report for Apple; it's annoying that they don't bother to respond at all a lot of the time.
How is an attorney going to help you in that case?
For others to suggest you're drinking too much is both strange and absurd... it would be one of the last suggestions I were to brainstorm, but perhaps I'm naive in that regard.
I guess The Discovery Channel is going to save lots of money on travel expenses next Shark Week.
> The script is publicly available

Nice. You might want to add an explicit copyright/license though. Make it less (or more) dangerous for other devs to read it...

I think it could actually be quite useful to "standardize" on a simple (open/libre) front end for analytics (with an implied back-end standard).
I just meant that mildly overweight people wearing well-fitting clothes may not "read" as overweight to the casual observer. Some people think "overweight" means "obese," which makes the 70% figure more startling. It's still a major national health issue.
Too far.
> The same such a service as Netflix costs

It's a business service, not a consumer service. Apples to oranges. People will pay for it.
How is “unlimited” defined? The website says 4-5000 words per month.

Do you have any examples of a typical months deliverables?
It'd have to be a 2015 Retina Macbook Pro for me. Magsafe charging is as robust as it gets. Not too heavy but still can be configured with plenty of CPU/RAM/SSD. I've dropped my 2014 plenty of times and it's just got a few scratches around the aluminium but there's no hinge or port damage.
Compressed air duster didn't fix it?
From the tweet embedded in TFA:

"The bridge was built to Canadian Bridge Standards and unfortunately something under the riverbed failed, that could not have been anticipated.
This caused the pier to sink and the middle span to fall off the pier cap and into the river. "
I have just bought a ThinkPad T480 (the latest upgrade of the T4XX series) and I absolutely love it. Great finish, great performance, great battery life.
Whenever I ask that, my friends say there's something wrong with me. Glad to know that I'm not alone.
Interesting perspective on salad.

However, ranch has long transcended salad. The article goes pretty into depth on the varieties of things it's used with.
The way I look at it, is maybe you shouldn't have to service your Mac so often (often is a keyword in your coment)? Given the premium you pay for a "reliable" product
Whenever someone complains about another company's product, code, features, security....I always wish it was mandatory to include a link to the kind of software the poster is putting into production.

I can dream.

Glass houses and all that.

And even if they did, if it is stored as aggregates, I (as a visitor) wouldn't mind.
For a website with so many visitors and transactions, I’m surprised this API call never threw enough errors for them to see in logging. I will admit that JS logging can be messy because of all the different environments but after some time I would have hoped this would have been caught.
The modern discussion whether it's a mental illness or not is just tiptoeing around the issue for non-medical concerns.

Mental illness doesn't mean "crazy person", there's a huge number of such cases, and half the population or more is affected by one or more (20% on any given year).

There's nothing insulting or damaging to call someone as mentally ill (except for types who think it means "crazy person" or some such).

In fact, there shouldn't be anything insulting or damaging about being bodily ill as well!

The bottom lime is that autism is associated with certain impairments that affect our mental states (on the spectrum, have a close relative with another mental illness). It's not some X-men like new state of being that people should aspire too, but it's something we should respect, try to heal if we can, and learn to live with and support.
What about the parents who value education and would love to be engaged more, but need to work three jobs to survive?
I'm a huge fan of the Asus Zenbooks for taking it with me. Also, the Sagers for powerful computing. (But it's not as portable). Sagers are gaming laptops.

All of the machines have Linux. The HP Workbooks/zbooks have been decent for work.
Tuom is excellent. Also great on fries and falafel of course.
Can you show an example or two of such weaponization? I've never come across one.

And even if it was weaponized, wouldn't that be the fault of the maintainers judging the situation? You saying it's the CoC's fault is like blaming a gun in a murder.
