The whois info paints a similar picture, but clustered in Australia – many of the companies seem to be in AU, with one in India and one in London.

If a number of them are being hosted in Houston, I'd say that there's clearly a connection here... one crappy "designer" selling "unique websites" to multiple unaware clients, possibly?
>and the other is that humans can direct climate change.

Are you saying that humans lack the ability to create social structures that can control our emissions? Or are you saying that the IPCC is incorrect in attributing climate change almost entirely to human activity?
We also know there are things that are well within our control that can change climate significantly.

Just because an asteroid might hit and change the climate doesn't mean we throw our hands up because it doesn't matter. I don't start smoking three packs a day just because there's a chance I could get lung cancer spontaneously.
I agree. Generally, open ended questions give you a pretty good idea of a candidate's aptitudes.

I would still have to test their ability to code something, as I know how good I am (if I may say so) at blagging my way through open ended questions.
A follow-up has been written, titled "Onboarding a Django app within a 'Two Scoops'-style project" [1]. It explains the steps I took to migrate the Polls app from the 4-part Django tutorial [2] into our 'icratings' project. Please let me know if you have suggestions for next directions, or revisions.

> Neither will having an app that you didn't launch and sync before getting on the subway. Seems like the same amount of effort to me.

And here I thought in 2013 apps could download their content in background when phone is idle. Maybe when the owner is sleeping at home with fast wifi all around. Might make too much sense though.
This is an amazing observation. I can't believe they used the actual image from your front page on theirs.

Having worked in both, I actually do not think the developer community is better (or less awful) than the advertising / media / sales community. The former is simply more nuanced and subtle. The sexism in the Ad / Media / Sales world is simply more obvious, unhidden and honest. Both are horrible and grotesque - but to be frank, I think that while there is less respect for women in the Ad / Media / Sales world, there is more women-hating in the Developer community.
You can push the argument further. Postulate that climate change is real, and that you could accurately describe the policy steps necessary to eliminate it, and that you could bring about those policy changes on a global scale. What are the negative impacts? What is the chance of climate change occurring anyway? Anthropogenic change is peanuts compared a huge mess of Siberian volcanoes firing off for a million years.
The moral underpinnings of copyright are quite a bit older than that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law#Early_....

Re: copyright being 303 years old. First, there were developments in copyright prior to the English copyright act. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law#Early_.... Printing in England was done by a royally chartered monopoly from 1557. Printing was regulated by an order of the Star Chamber in 1637 and the Licensing Press Act of 1679 before the Statute of Anne introduced copyrights in 1710. So basically contemporaneously with the widespread adoption of technology in England that enabled copies of written works to be quickly made, regulation has existed to protect works from copying. Copyright itself has existed for 300 of the 500 or so years since printed books became common in England.

I agree that it's not sensible to link copyright to the ancient moral crime of theft. It's more sensible to link it to the very old if not ancient moral crime of trespass: http://www.slesher.com/trespass.html.

A copyright owner's moral right is basically the right to exclude--the right to control with whom one shares his original work.
That syntax certainly fixes a major problem when dealing with immutables. The mutable-like syntax I find is the cleanest way to construct complex data types.

I keep thinking about using only immutables in my language, but I don't think it will be possible. I'm intending to a be a system language, and there are simply too many situations where you need to modify data in-place. I'm struggling to see if I can still find a place for immutables in situations where they work fine.
For most people it's about customizing iOS: adding extra features to the interface, disabling features you don't like, personalizing how it looks - generally finding ways to improve it so that it works better for you. Instead of just looking at interesting concept designs for new iOS features, you can install them. Here's a long thread from the jailbreaking subreddit where a bunch of people discussed the first packages they planned to install after jailbreaking: http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/17gm4g/since_this... - I think it provides a decent cross-section of some benefits that people get excited about.

Also, if people are interested in technical details about what the jailbreak actually does, this old HN thread with comments from saurik is very informative: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4127801

This is pretty much exactly how I got hired.

In my case, I had to show design capabilities in addition to code and being creative didn't mean just applying hacks found on the internet. But my boss had to actually see if I can get through with building the project using a combination of existing knowledge and the ability to find solutions.

My challenge was to build a discussion forum from scratch with user registration and a reasonably attractive UI. So that's PHP + Photoshop + CSS/HTML/JS
So, modern infrastructure Sahara then :)
I'm sorry, but this is terribly pedantic. The world isn't divided between deep experts of a technology and everyone else. Case in point: me, a moderately tech-savvy person. My main computer is a Mac and I'm a casual user of bash. I struggle to get things done every time I have to do something more complicated than "show me the files of this folder, even the hidden ones, even in the subfolders, then dump them in a .txt". The obscurity of flags don't help.
This is my vote. Open up a dialog between interviewer and interviewee. Everyone can use a hint sometimes and it gives a chance to have a technical discussion.

That being said lately I worked hiring contractors. We give them a week long paid trial assignment (paid if they pass). Half the people I hire I don't even have a resume for. This is really the best way to hire people.
Startup Interviews: Alaxic Smith of Communly
It's interesting how often it needs to be restated that Aaron had depression, which probably had much more to do with his final act than the prosecution did.

Was Carmen Ortiz a factor? Maybe. But I don't know, because I didn't know Aaron.

What I do know is that depression has its own insidious way of taking hold of even the strongest-seeming people, and it can make them do things that seem completely out of the blue to everyone around them.
Obviously the circumstances are different, you wouldn't use this as a one-to-one model, but that doesn't mean there aren't things we can learn, and it certainly doesn't justify the scant media coverage.

Creditors were left to deal with the mess that they were complicit in creating while ordinary people who just wanted a house to live in were freed from crushing debt. Some limited austerity measures were put in place that didn't cut into core social spending. The people were taken care of while financiers were told to take a hike, and just as all the experts didn't predict the crash, none of them predicted Iceland's recovery. Maybe the big lesson here is that economists don't know what the fuck they're talking about, and there are other factors in play than neoclassical theory. That is why this hasn't received coverage, because it would lead to self-reflection that would make those in power uncomfortable.
The Impact of Mobile Money in Africa
I'm curious: why do you put "greenhouse gases" in scare marks? It's rather unclear what your goal is besides emotive outburst. Are you denying that the greenhouse effect exists? That chemicals exist that interact with various forms of EM radiation? That those chemicals can exist in a gaseous state?

Maybe you're skeptical that they're man-made. If so, why not put the quotes around "man-made" instead of "greenhouse gases"?
That is a good deal!
It does affect screen readers, but that's a progressive enhancement issue. You shouldn't be degrading the experience for someone who does not need one.
I don't understand how this is an improvement over Rails' migrations or Python's South. Or, maybe, what are cases in which I would consider DJ over built-in migration and schema-management systems?

EDIT: ah, perhaps this is just for systems that don't have such native schema migration support (e.g. raw PHP apps)? Though I'm still not sure how comfortable I would be separating schema version from deployed code version.
Is this a tether jailbreak or is it permanent?

You have a point about the -t and -r flags, but,

> Unix users should not following the article's advice, they should be embracing Unix's style and ethos; it's part of what's made it such a success.

I always wonder why this is taken so religiously? You're not the first person to write a comment like this, so please don't take it too personally. But is it not possible that the Unix style and ethos is mostly great, but there's a few things here and there that could've been better? You seem to imply that a culture that prefers short options is one of the reasons that Unix became a success. I'm not so sure.

In fact, if `dir /w` had a long version of the option, i would've indeed used it. I think it's a shame that most native Windows commands, unlike their Unix counterparts, don't have long versions of switches. But I doubt that that's contributed much to Windows' success.
> What makes you think that? Since humans are a leading cause of the existing change, almost by definition we are capable of working to prevent further damage.

I don't see why that follows at all. I understand that if everybody thought and acted as you and I probably do, and would build nuclear plants, maybe the effects of GW can be mitigated, but that obviously is not the case.

I'd argue the other way around: the best evidence that there is little that can be done is that there is little that is being done. The Chinese don't even care if you can't see your own hand before your eyes in Peking today, what hope do I have that they care about remote places in 50 years?

Doing something individually against GW is at the far far far bottom of my TODO list. Because it is not an effective use of my time. Maybe the most effective would be working for a Geoengieering company if I had the opportunity.
This is an entirely theoretical attack, and is an extension of a known (practical) attack that was published by Vaudenay back in 2002.

Vaudenay pointed out that using CBC-mode in the "authenticate-then-encrypt" paradigm was dangerous, because CBC's padding would not be covered by the TLS record's MAC. An attacker could modify the padding in transit, and since it wasn't covered by the MAC, the server would respond differently to padding errors and MAC errors. Through a few clever techniques that Vaudenay demonstrated, this could (very practically) be used for full plaintext recovery.

TLS implementations responded by removing TLS alerts that differentiated between padding and MAC errors, as well as calculating the MAC on a message that had already encountered a padding error anyway, in order to eliminate timing attacks to differentiate between the two cases.

What the authors of this paper have done is to demonstrate that in hyper-controlled network environments with incredibly low latency paths (a client and server engaging in TLS requests on the same uncongested wired LAN with zero interference, for instance), it is still possible to discern some slight timing differences between the padding failure case and the MAC failure case.

This is an interesting result for academia and for those who are deeply invested in the overall narrative of TLS. But ultimately, the conditions necessary for this type attack are not generally realistic, and I don't believe it should be characterized as a real risk.

Don't worry, it's getting worse as time goes on.
Heh. But seriously - post mortems are less like funerals and more like an autopsy. We're not "dancing on the grave" we're trying to "learn the cause of death" so we all (especially you) can live longer in the future.

So lets dig up that corpse...
This is incredible footage, but the amounts of ice in this video (while massive to us) are tiny drops in the bucket of the global ice balance.

I'm uncomfortable when outlet glacier calving events like this--which are very common, geologically speaking--are used as proof of climate change, or to advocate for action on climate change. They are spectacular looking, but I think it's intellectually dishonest. Outlet glaciers advance and retreat constantly, based largely on local climate variations.

The best proof that humans are affecting the climate is the huge bulk of rigorous scientific data that has been collected and analyzed for decades. It's rarely cool-looking, but it's right.
Yes, you can write code without ever using the GC. You have to opt-in to use the GC by using the GC'd types, which are not the default. Rust never implicitly promotes anything to the garbage collected heap. There's a compiler lint mode you can turn on that verifies that you don't ever use the GC.

Allocation and freeing can be done manually, using unique pointer types (like std::unique_ptr in C++, except the compiler verifies that it's safe).
JB worked like a charm! Thx evasi0n! :-)
Well written. Inspiration comes from doing; a feeling of perseverance; a lot of passion. It does not mean that you have to keep working on your idea. You just have to live in it. No matter what you're doing, your mind has to start working on focusing on that one thing you're out to achieve.
that sucks

Should i Quit?
Here is my awful situation.
My grammer isn't that good, keep that in mind while you read.

I work in a PHP (a language i despise) devshop as the lead developer (i only have 1 year experience in programming), we build CMS powered websites.
I started working in this company a few months ago, before that i worked at 2 other similiar companies.

The main thing i hate is the workflow, for example here is how we build a website:

* a design is sent to me by mail.
* i go to a website we've already built and download it's source
* i clean the source folders (images etc..)
* i go to a website we've already built and export the database tables
* i clean them.
* i build it.
* i upload it with ftp.
* test using the refresh button :o
* done.

at no point unit testing is used (my boss says it's a waste of time).
we don't use revision control tools (my boss says no one uses it).
we don't use tools to automate stuff (deployment etc..).

When i suggest to my boss to use those stuff, he comes back "i have more than 5 years of experience you have 1".
My boss isn't a developer, he thinks Firefox was built by Google and "IETester is better than ie9 so use it".

All of our websites have stuff like this in the code:
`mysql_query('select * from foo where id = ' . $_GET['id'])`.
Some of our websites have no password verification on the admin panel.

Keep in mind that i have seen those stuff in all 3 companies i worked in, this is awful.

HN'ers should i quit and start my own company ?
Does it really work? ever for New iPad (3gen iPad)?
Hahahahaha! That is seriously incompetent.
"The company has now further explained the situation to Polygon, assuring developers that DirectX development will continue"

Same thing they said about Silverlight or XNA just within months of discontinuing them.
I'd argue that you're actually pretty inaccurate in your description of what people object to. In reality, people are more than happy to push the line that the climate isn't changing. That's what the line is when Fox News complains that if global warming is happening why is there a big snow storm in January or throws in a snide remark about how the world hasn't gotten warmer since 1998.
Also Marmalade probably will support it (since it supports desktop windows already... and Windows Phone 7)
But that doesn't stop the ideologues in power from running companies as if it is.
WordPress looks for wp-config.php in the current directory and 1 directory up, so there is no need for any use of htaccess.
You could in principle do the same. I'm currently in a Masters program and have been doing what this link describes since I first started university: Four or five hours of very focused work each day, followed by real leisure time.

Granted, it might be different if I were doing a PhD, but at least up until where I am now this has worked perfectly. I get done just as much while being less stressed and feeling a lot better about life.
Ask HN: What's so difficult about installing a nuclear weapon in a missile?
OK. Weird question. I know.<p>Here's the deal: Every so often defense "experts" come on TV news shows to talk about this or that evil power being N years away from having viable nuclear weapons. One of the arguments I have heard with some frequency goes something like this:<p>"<substitute your favorite evil nation> are at least five years from being able to install a nuclear weapon on one of their long-range missiles. They may be able to do it in three years on one of their short-to-medium range platforms".<p>OK, well, I don't know the first thing about what it takes to accomplish this kind of thing. My problem-solver engineering brain goes through a few thoughts, ideas and permutations and I just fail to come-up with a lot of reasons why this one task might be so difficult.<p>I am sure there's someone in the HN community that is an honest-to-Darwin Nuclear Weapons Scientist (or close). What are the issues with the idea of installing a suitably ruggedized, shock-mounted, thermally-isolated, independently-powered, redundant-microprocessor-controlled, failover-equipped, etc., nuclear power module in a big rocket and lighting 'er up?<p>Don't get me wrong. I a GLAD that the problem might be difficult. Whew! The last thing we need is more of the damn things floating around.<p>I just don't understand.
Should library users just be careful when using YAML or should YAML by default not allow arbitrary class loading?
There's a difference between wishing and doing. They wish there was a way to give feedback while avoiding the trouble you're pointing out. Since there's not, they're just left wishing instead of doing.

Hiring managers work in a very human field. They often run into the same issues with candidates, and wish that they could just give a bit of human input, to help someone else. The candidate might not be a good fit for that job, but if he/she is unknowingly self-sabotaging in interviews, it would be great to be able to point that out. Since the potential trouble outweighs the benefits, they're left only wishing.
In my view what qemu produces is perfectly acceptable. On the other hand applying optimization approach of Java's HotSpot or Python's PsyCo to qemu might be interesting. (and something like that was already done by HP's Dynamo which could "emulate" parisc code on parisc faster than direct execution)

Still architecture differences are significant, but in this case for what you really want to accomplish ARM is reasonably similar to i386.
I wonder if events in Greenland are similar to those playing out in the Antarctic where movement of under ice water sources is causing fractures or movement in the ice sheets.

I remember reading stories recently about Lake Vostok and the drilling going on there. One item of note was the the location of the under ice water was not a constant and that its shifting could or is affecting the ice sheets above it.

Given that Greenland has a bit more volcanic activity than the Antarctic what role does that play?
Seriously?!?!?! Ummm.... I'd suggest seeking professional help. It's pretty clear you have some deep-seated issues.

Ask HN: Stories from the inside of MSFT
Hi all,

I do agree, though, that visiting a page, pressing a "jailbreak" button and finding Cydia installed and running, was, to use the scientific term, slick.
That last one is particularly bad. They didn't even try to make it look a bit different.
It really depends on what you're making of course, but for a large set of situations, isn't supporting recent bash on recent Linux/BSD good enough? This way, you got all modern Linux installations, OSX, and Windows through msys(git) covered.

I'm thinking of shared dotfiles, build scripts, deploy scripts. The article you link to mentions SunOS and OSF/1. How bad are the incompatibilities on modern POSIXes only? (note: I really do not know and wouldn't know how to find out)

To compare, how many people would write a web page that supports IE5? Some would, but would you generally advice methods to make IE5-compatible pages in 2013?

Maybe we need a http://caniuse.com for Unixes.
