Oh man, come on guys, you gotta pay attention before commenting. The line was crossed meaning he wants to delegate that job and not do it himself.

Overall it's a great design, and what I like the most is that they put it the extra effort to show that there is attention to detail even in the hiring process. That speaks well of him.
Argh, I've looked at that page several times, and each time I've managed to misread a 'm' on that 0.1 rem figure.

Thanks for clearing it up!
The DIY stuff that I've read recommended a max of only one or two 20 minute sessions per week. Even if it increased what you could learn by 2.5x, that only buys you at most 1 hour (effective) per week. I don't see how that's worth the risk for the stated goal. If you just want to mess with your brain, then you might do it even if it didn't help you learn. That said, it does seem like it would be fun to play with if it was known to be safe.

I don't think anyone is advocating this kind of development. In general you can't trust anything the client tells you, so to release information to a client that has not provided proper authentication credentials to the server is a mistake.

It varies depends on whether Network Level Authenication (NLA) is used. When NLA is not used, the Terminal Server has to open up a session to display the Winlogon window for authentication and the user types the username/password through this session. When NLA is used, the RDP client displays this window and then the session is started after the username/password is validated which reduces the pre-authentication attack surface drastically (indeed requiring NLA is listed as a workaround).
>So, tell me again why we should be using HyperText Transfer Protocol for doing something that has nothing to do with transferring hypertext?

Because its the best option. When WebSockets what whatever socket protocol becomes ubiquitous you'll probably see less HTTP use.
This is one tiny facet of a society-wide problem that goes back millennia. How much progress can you expect in a few years? In the broader scope of things, I'd say we're making great progress.

But that progress has come through continuous effort, not from people saying, "Oh, honey, you should just accept that you can't vote. You'll never change it, so it's not rational to try."

That isn't quite true. A lot of recruiters that I've met get paid based on the salary of the recruited, so fewer people at higher salary might make the recruiter more money.

I think it's an interesting comparison between WebOS and Boot2Gecko
“But it would be such a waste to throw away all this code!”

Working on my own, it took me a long time to overcome this feeling. When you’re too stubborn or embarrassed or mad that you didn’t think of a better solution in the first place, it can be really hard to let it go. But nowadays, I feel better the more code I can remove.

Because of your plea for civil discussion, I mistakenly assumed that you would interpret my words in good faith (and, for the record, I can't downvote.) Instead, I suppose I should have qualified the hypothetical punches as just sufficient in force to cause pain and irritation but not enough to exacerbate health issues. I'm really not sure what the flu has to do with anything, facial contusions are quite a different thing than a systemic infection.

The point still stands, that small issues matter even when there are bigger issues.

You have given nothing to support the argument that treating someone as subservient based on gender 'ultimately does us good.'

Toughening (or lightening) up is a good thing. I was bullied in school to a distressing degree. Later in my life, I went through training where I learned to shrug off hits far worse than any bully had given me. Sometimes they were accidental and I laughed about it.

However, that doesn't mean it's ok for someone to just walk up to me and sock me in the face. It doesn't mean that it's ok to attack people and just demand that they toughen up and deal with it.

By your argument we should all treat each other like complete crap at home and at work, because it will build character like a lifelong boot camp. Heck, maybe we should treat women specifically like crap so they can get more resilient and perform better than men.

Of course, another poster claims that computer programmers are awkward around women and have such bad self-esteem they should be forgiven. I wonder how well they would fare if the tables were turned.

Honestly, it sounds like an argument born out of the desire to not give up being a jerk to women. It sounds like "lighten up," for no real reason. And, whatever the development potential, it's pushing women away from the field.
That was a really great read. It's always good to see the other side of the coin; whereas Y-combinator promotes a build big and fast (hare) environment, there are definitely advantages to being the tortoise, especially if you consider that you aren't even running the same race.
That's very interesting. Seems like an unfeasible task to outrank Apple using that keyword.

What is your problem? I don't ever talk about this in that setting. I'm illustrating an idea, and you try to bully me with things I never did. I don't have "macho" baggage. Where did you get this information from? How would you even know if it was true? I'm pointing out that society imposes some limitations on people and that it's pointless to complain over every single little thing. Your admission that these impositions on men are no big deal just serves to illustrate my point: that there's nothing serious going on here. Just first-worlders complaining over every little perceived disadvantage. And yes I would say something if I witnessed someone bullying a coworker as the OP describes. That doesn't mean I'd be sympathetic to whining about it.

Is your browser not open to full width and height? I'm on an 11" MBA, and didn't have to horizontally scroll at all (at 1366px wide), and I could see the end of the fold easily.

Regarding the disappearing scrollbars, I've actually added prompts for scrolling to a website, knowing that Lion, iOS and Android users wouldn't get a hint from visible scrollbars. (My biggest issue is the way horizontal scroll is so easily misinterpreted as a swipe [chrome in lion]. At least a few times a week I inadvertently go back a page...)
I just want to say a sincere thank you for writing this. I hope the whole community will read this with an open mind and understand how important it is to be conscious of these subtleties.
Ha, right. And in related news, at its height, the Pet Rock was netting a million dollars a day. At that rate, why didn't somebody pay $700 million to acquire the company? They could have made their money back in two years.
You'll eventually meet your very own version of "that guy". It is an inevitable cycle of life.
You're not just saying could.

Because there are a lot of things she could do. She could flap her arms and make chicken noises. She could read a newspaper. She could tazer somebody. She could fold everybody paper hats. There are pretty much an infinite number of things she could do, and we all know that. So when you focus on some small set of those, you're not just saying "could".

When you say, "Oh gosh, if only those women could learn from my youth and just avoid situations where people might be sexist (say, by staying home and making babies)," then you're shifting the burden of action from the culprit to the victim. It's bullshit. Everybody has the right to go to work without having to deal with sexual, sexist crap like this.

But suppose she followed your advice and wore only turtlenecks. Golly, then we've eliminated one symptom. But as she remarks in the article, she's just gone from "slut" to "ice queen". What do you recommend she wear to fix that? And what outfit keeps people from seeing her as the person to organize a potluck or take notes?
Because there is very little evidence that the company can reproduce this success, or even that the current rate of revenue for that game will persist for any meaningful period of time. It is pretty clear that they (Zynga) made a snap judgment and decided to pick up the company, regardless of the cost.

This reminds me a lot of when Mark Cuban sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo. Yahoo execs overreacted to the potential of the technology that Broadcast had developed, and were drastically overpaying out of fear of missing out. Not a great position to make acquisitions from.
You're attempting (and failing) to belittle a company which just sold for $200,000,000. They clearly had very broad appeal.

Sorry you're feeling a little jealous. Try not to let it show so much.
As mcpherrinm described, anycast plays a big part in how queries are routed to a DNS server in Route 53's global fleet.

You are right that a DNS server sees the query coming from the resolver instead of the user. So how does it pick the region closest to the user? As the blog post describes, we measure latencies from client networks to AWS regions and we also have a mapping of which resolvers are used by which client networks. If you put both of them together, you can compute which region is closest to the users of the resolver.

Chrome beats IE market share for one day
It's really easy to armchair-engineer and just declare bad design. What's harder is to actually build a system that scales well in the very unusual circumstance that sites like Twitter, Google and Facebook find themselves in.

Let's take your solution: it's really difficult to build a development environment that allows a large team to work efficiently which is not based on having essentially a single bootstrap file when deployed in production. When you break apart your files into smaller chunks you are asking your developers to understand the intricacies of asynchronous loading of each file and impose dependency management on everyone. This is a huge problem at Twitter's scale.

FWIW, Twitter did break apart their files into smaller chunks pretty effectively using the Loadrunner project (https://github.com/danwrong/loadrunner).

IMO, you want to do this, at least initially, in a language that has an AST that is built for user manipulation. That is to say, you want to prototype this in Lisp. Yes, Lisp has paredit. But that gives you a prototype that is most of the way there. Once you know the details of what it is like working in this environment, is when you implement it for another language. Just my two cents.
... So instead of paying the original artist for a print, or asking them if they might consider a cheaper run (artists are just guessing too!) you paid someone else to counterfeit you an "original"?

You are proud of this?
>You have given nothing to support the argument that treating someone as subservient based on gender 'ultimately does us good.'

I never said this. Quote me where I said this, or I will be forced to regard you as a liar.

And I never said "small issues don't matter". Why make things up? I am saying that I am bored with endless complaints that exist around noise level. Since I posted a few times and I may not have been redundant enough, I'll be explicit in that I think taunting women about their breasts in the workplace is despicable and anyone who witnessed such a thing should immediately speak up. Anything less is cowardice.

My beef with this post is the complaints about "subtle" sexism. People don't seem to understand that people are unfair to others all the time. There is nothing but a kind of blind secular faith that eliminating these micro-injustices is going to help anybody. So you show me someone who refuses to hire women or abuses them and I will tell them where to stick it. I stand up to people who promote ideas I think are harmful. But I don't want to hear about "perceived" problems that are indistinguishable from the noise-level unfairness that nobody can stop ("boohoo I got asked to take some notes and I think it _might_ have been because I am a woman"). If you don't want to take notes say "no". Better yet do a shitty job. Instead we have people arguing about how one type of slave gets whipped on the buttocks and the other gets it on the thigh, missing the point that if we set the slaves free they wouldn't be getting whipped at all. But don't let me stop you opining about the decor while the house burns down.

And the people down-voting me are just PC thugs with no ability to confront an alternate point of view.
I think this is how they are doing it:

1. Smooth the vector shapes (I'm not sure exactly how they're doing this. A blur and cutoff perhaps?)

2. Use the smoothed shapes as a mask over repeating colored watercolor textures.

3. Composite the various layers

They also seem to be applying a shadow underneath land masses.

No, because of the marriage monopsony (among other reasons). Because most women choose to live where their husbands live, they will essentially never be able to command the same wages or working conditions as men (under the current system) because the employers have significantly more power than what a competitive market would otherwise dictate.
Ask HN: How do you motivate yourself? Don't you get tired of?
(written from throwaway account)

I don't know what is happened to me but I got f#cking lazy. I procrastinate all the day. My subliminal brain thinks that he so smart is, that he can do everything on last minute. But I can't command him that it's not fu#$ing true!

Actually yes I'm smart, I made a great startup, I automated it and it makes five figure monthly profit. But it doesn't make sense. After being successful I lost my motivation. I look to back one year ago to myself, working non-stop for my startup, so passionate about it that sometimes forgot to sleep.

I know that I can do some innovate thing but my daily routine looks so:

Sleep, wake up, check facebook on my ipad in bed 30 minutes, stand up and sit in front of iMac check twitter, check HN, check Reddit. Read newsfeed on facebook, answers emails, write a status on facebook or tweet something Then eat breakfast. This takes 3-4 hours. After that check everyting again. chat with friends, reply to facebook, twitter, hn, reddit comments. Read some wikipedia articles. Read some book about freemasonry. Watch a movie. Eat something. My wife comes from work. talk to her. Watch a tv show with her. And it's already 23.00. "Honey, don't you come sleep with me?" - "No! I must check HN and write something, I'll be back in 10 mins" I it takes 2-3 hours checking, replying, commenting on HN, Facebook, Twitter etc. And I have too many things to do. But my brain doesn't care.

Why the heck this happens all the time to me? How do you motivate yourself to work, to concentrate? What should I do?
What sucks about Rails is that its a horribly inefficient as a JSON pump in terms of memory consumption; its just not the right tool for the job.

This really only matters on tiny vps servers for low/no-revenue companies. RAM is sooo cheap that if even one little feature of rails saved a dev-week then it will have paid for itself.
Nah, I don't buy that. Most users play games on a one-off basis. That is, people realize a game is fun, get a few of their friends to play with them, and they're off.

I don't think Zynga gains any long-term competitive advantage from this. Most people don't play games because they know the company that produces them, they play them because they are a fun novelty. Games are necessarily one-off successes at the mobile/social level, because there is not really a storyline or steep learning curve, so I believe that a company that produces one successful game is no more likely to produce another than a company with no previous successes, assuming equivalent technical know-how.

So ... if you're not willing to stop <Task X> for a beer, you won't stop whatever <Task Y> occupies you in the future to write the Annual Report, either. Realizing the truth of this, you demonstrate your willingness to write the Annual Report by having a beer (my misconception; lasted 30 seconds).
Again, HN shames itself by down-voting a point it has no answer. Someone show me how we can eliminate "bullying" and unfairness anymore than we can eliminate disease. Too much social control will just give rise to new problems, thus creating more need for the "fairness" industry.

I haven't played the ME series but it's interesting that this fits in nicely with one of the arguments against video games being art (brought up a year or so most famously by Roger Ebert). That is, the fact that players can petition the maker of the game for a new ending and get some kind of concession shows that it wasn't Art in the first place. I'm not sure if I agree or not but this is the first big event that's played right into one of Ebert's complaints.

Yes, there are differences between Gingerbread and ICS kernels, though I don't know what they are (other than moving to a 3.x kernel). From what I understand, this is one of the reasons CM9 development has been slow in general (and particularly slow for some devices).

That being said, you're right that Samsung's prompt GPL compliance isn't particularly newsworthy. The recent, newsworthy source release is HTC's. They released the ICS kernel source for the Sensation promptly, without their typical "not until you've waited a few months and threatened a lawsuit" nonsense. Hopefully that trend continues.
