How do you know the motivation of this person? Every time one of these stories come up, someone tries to call other people out for rationalizing. It's not rationalizing, it's calling it as they see it: someone being an asshole.

If you want blatant sexism, FTA: "no offence, I just don’t relate to girls speaking about the industry at all, I learn better from guys". That's sexism.

It's not denial if you don't know the motivation. Why is it so important to label these actions a certain way when we can just call it as it clearly is?

Trying to label everything that may or may not be sexism doesn't help the cause. Most of us know there is rampant sexism. Arguing about this just detracts from the real problem. There are more than enough obvious instances to demonstrate the problem.

EDIT: for the 2 down-voters so far: the point I'm making is that sexism is a major problem but trying to ascribe motivation to something with uncertainty is intellectual dishonesty that does nothing but detract from the real problem.
Congrats for realizing and fixing it.

A related problem: Chrome starts with "about:blank". When I start typing, it doesn't go away, so I have to manually select the text before.
That sounds actually really awesome. Congrats on doing something!

I'm most amazed by the last link you posted that copied it, they did not even modify the background image. Only the logo and text were changed.
I still use it for SBSettings, which allows me to turn bluetooth, wifi, etc. on by swiping the top of the screen.

And I use it for tethering or setting up a wifi hotspot from my phone (MyWi).

Plus a bunch of other things :).
I have thought for a while Microsoft would have been smart to latch on to Google's Native Client. .NET was something they did reluctantly to combat Java in the enterprise space: Their heart and soul has always been in native code (if you don't count the p-code in Office). And .NET has always produced native code out the back, anyway.

NaCl in Internet Explorer and later in mobile devices would have let them leverage much of their existing code base and developer tools, all with an "industry standard" imprimatur from Google. And where it wasn't supported (i.e., Firefox), you ship a plugin, which is no worse than Silverlight.

Clojure s-expressions actually have syntax for vectors, maps, and sets (in addition to the ones mentioned in TFA):

{:k1 v1, :k2 v2} ; curly braces for maps
[v1 v2 v3] ; square brackets for vectors
#{v1 v2 v3} ; pound-curly for sets

Clojure's reader also provides some mechanisms for adding readable values, which is awesome for serialization and interchange. There's more info here: http://clojure.org/reader
"Selfish, desperate, and cheap."

Yes, exactly. As someone who knows the media world better than he'd like to, I cannot think of a more succinct or generally applicable characterization. You, sir, have nailed it.
The last time I had a jailbroken phone was at the time of iOS 2, back then I didn't think it was worth it.

That actually sounds like a much better policy than what was implemented in the US. Bailing out foreign creditors to private banks was simply a huge waste of money.
This is definitely a really useful component to the interview, but I don't think it should be the only component. A lot of our jobs are doing straightforward things: "implement spec X, where X is pretty close to what's been done before." But occasionally we'll encounter a problem that requires us to think up an algorithm. It might be similar to what's out there, but it's not going to be a googleable solution. It's these cases that define a good engineer.

I'd liken our jobs to those of pilots. Most of the time, anyone can fly the plane: just punch in the flight plan to autopilot, and press 'A/P engage'. However, when a pilot is near cumulonimbus clouds with an engine failure, he is forced to step up to the plate. This is what pilots are paid for: to handle the crazy emergency situations that can arise when you're in the air. This, too, is what good engineers are paid for: handling the difficult problems that occasionally arise during development. If you're not hiring for this, you're hiring code monkeys.

Ask HN: How much should I pay an iOS dev tutor?
I'm about to hire a tutor to help me along with my iOS project. He is asking for 100 an hour. Does this sound reasonable? The sessions would be taking place via Skype?

If it is reasonable, what sort of things should I make sure the tutor provides before the lessons so that I get the most out of my lessons?
Thanks. I thought of putting the core into the position classes but that seemed to duplicate some styles in the generated CSS. Though having a default position surely seems a nice idea. Will work on it :)
Your point is valid but does not refute the OP, who is saying "this does not work and should evaporate into history." Such reactions are part of how we collectively discard failed ideas.
Finally we can get rid of Tipsy.js http://onehackoranother.com/projects/jquery/tipsy/

Even if you don't publish, please do write these up for yourself.

Just sit down and fill up a document with "next time I would do Y instead of X". You can also explain why, or what experience inspired the lesson. But definitely write them down. Keep the document handy. Over the next few months you'll keep having retroactive facepalm moments; you might as well get something out of them.

Right now it feels like you will never forget the whole crazy ride. But next time or the time after you'll read through a lessons-learned document and be very glad you have it.

Maybe the not lost archived data in question is research pertaining to avoiding catastrophic climate change problems... :-)
RE: "Not sure how to proceed here."

Take the compliment - mimicry is the highest form of flattery.
"Sure, there might changes happening, but from history, isn't that what the climate does?"

The fact that the climate has historically changed does not lead to the conclusion that humans can't affect a change in the climate. Nor does it lead to the conclusion that everything will be OK if humans are affecting change.
Ok, sorry, seems I assumed wrongly here.
Thanks for the question and I don't think it's that your ignorant. It gets kind of confusing unless you've run into some of these problems in the real world. I'll do my best to try and explain the problems that I ran into, which pushed me to start working on this tool.

I think storing a version of your schema in VCS is a great idea and it solves part of the problem. If I need to set up a new dev environment I can just run the full schema and I'm good to go.

Ok so now I've got my new database set up and one of my teammates, Sally, makes a change. She writes a change script and maybe updates the base schema as well. This means that she has to keep track of the changes she's made all along the way (DevJoist does this for you).

But what if another teammate, Joe, also makes a change. Now I've got two change scripts to run, I'm not necessarily sure in what order, and my base schema has a potential conflict. DevJoist won't let you commit a change to the schema unless you've merged in the most recent revision of the schema - and gives you a really slick GUI for doing the merging. The merge tool lets you pick and choose which tables, columns, indexes, column properties etc. you want from each version, and then combines them together.

Kind of long winded - sorry, but does that answer your question at all?
@agl, it looks to me as if the timing differences they are measuring would be a complete wash in any realistic scenario?

The original "good enough" timing fix (in response to Vaudenay) was based on the assumption that an attacker would not realistically be able to measure the small remaining timing differences.

This paper has demonstrated that it is possible to measure the small remaining timing differences, but it seems as if that requires:

1) The server not to be doing anything else or processing any other TLS sessions.

2) The attacker to be in a hyper-controlled networking environment with extremely low latency to the server and zero interference.

Do you see this attack ever being possible in a practical situation?

I've had this happen to a number of clients; for the most part we were able to get the sites changed/taken down through DMCA submissions (copyrighted materials, art).

I don't know if this avenue is available to you but you might want to look into it.
Yes, we care because we are alive right now. Knowing that ocean levels were even higher 60 million years ago is cold comfort to billions of poor coastal dwellers today.
Not that clear that local climate impacts would scale. It's a different mechanism at work: changing the energetics and every ecosystem on an entire planet (indeed, changing its emitted spectral lines) is a whole lot more than introducing new plants or physical structures to a couple square miles.

What I find so fascinating about climate change is that we are able to do this. It's a bit less huge than our atmosphere getting populated with oxygen for the first time, but still really exciting. Intellectually exciting, I mean, and personally terrifying.
I probably won't be interested in a Wordpress theme, but if you make a Bootstrap theme quite like this layout I'd definitely buy it.

Uh, yeah, that'd be it. What with all the massive extinction events and all, it might be in our interest to minimize the effects.
Thanks Andrex. The issue with using title attribute is that its hard to suppress the default tooltip that shows up with just CSS. Any idea if it can be done?

Don't like Secure Boot? Don't buy a Chromebook.
I've seen my site copied verbatim several times. Clearly some bot just scraped the entire site and posted it somewhere else. At first it upset me but after a few minutes of righteous indignation I assumed it wasn't worth the time to worry about it. The copies aren't getting much traffic AFAICT and I'm assuming one way or another they'll eventually lead people back the original so I just stopped looking.

Untethered (permanent).
The UI says "untethered". I'm waiting on a reboot, so I can't confirm.
It's an interesting thought, and the other side of the coin might be the assumption that all the various gods are just manifestations of the same God/entity/whatever, who has appeared to different people in the form(s) most suitable to their historical and cultural contexts.

Were that the case, however, it seems strange that the same being would demand more sacrifices of some than of others, or place stricter guidelines on one group versus another. (Though perhaps God is a behavioral economist, after all, and he's simply structuring different incentives for different groups, i.e., creating the frameworks the different groups need most? But, to your point, that wouldn't account for why some groups and gods died out altogether).
You mean you want to show HTML inside the tooltip?
I think the goal of an app is prominence on your device. The creator imagines you have an address book app, a camera app, a browser app, and Our Content App on your home page. You might have 100 bookmarks in the browser, but you'll see Our Content App differently, because it's got its own icon.

In practice, I think people either 1) have dozens of apps, so that the "priority" effect is less important, or 2) have few apps and generally refuse to install an app to do what a web page should do.

Either way, I think that in a few years, we'll look back on this trend and laugh. (Personally, I've been laughing about it for a while.)

The archaeology portion of this website makes for some exciting reading. Well done!

Lol. That's just called statistics.

I bet you 1% of every web site or server in existence does something so blatantly and unthinkably wrong that it would make any sysadmins eyes pop out of his head.

1% is in fact extremely low in my opinion—my guess would be closer to 10-15% of sites have some glaring security hole.

The only important thing is to not let it be your site.
...as do other alternative browsers, like iCab Mobile or AtomicWeb.

"Assuming that the people who are copying this code are able to code themselves"

Probably a generous assumption.
Recruiter here, came to say this. About 90% of hiring managers will tell recruiters 'good candidate but not a fit at this time' and nothing more, as any additional information could lead to all kinds of problems (cries of ageism is a current favorite). I'll always ask for more feedback from my clients, and most of them will go into more detail (I refuse to work with clients that are not willing to provide at least some info on rejections), but there is little incentive for hiring managers to provide full details on their reasoning.
I think you might just be taking the wrong approach. Shaming them is a bad idea, at least as a first move.

Seek-out and contact the owners of these businesses. Point out what you have discovered. There's an outside possibility that they have no clue that their web designers have done this. They might actually feel rather embarrassed to learn so. If I couldn't code my own sites and had to rely on designers who took this approach I certainly would feel pretty bad upon learning about it.

What to do then? Tell them that you'll gladly allow them to use the design for a small fee. Or, perhaps better yet, if they actually hired an outside firm to build their site, propose that you take over their site design and that you'll fix what they got wrong.

If the deed was done in-house or you are up against a coder-designer-founder that just go lazy, figure out a win-win. Out of respect they ought to at least pay you something. You could even lobby for a link in the footer with "Site design based on ...". I wouldn't opt for "Site designed by" because if they screw it up it could look bad for you.

Aikido vs. Karate. It can work wonders.

Oh, yes, I also concur with those who proposed that you might want to consider productizing your design. As a minimum-viable-product you now know that there are people willing to steal it. With the right approach you might be able to find people willing to buy it.

You could even consider expanding upon this and creating a few more designs. Post them openly on your site with an invitation to use them and the condition that you are to receive payment after a thirty day trial period. Just a thought.
No, it just means they're difficult to enforce, and most law enforcement agencies won't act unless the dollar loss is above a fixed minimum (which differs from place to place).
You can search for "Corporate ipsum" on Google chrome to get an extension which create fill text with corporate buzzwords. My colleagues (non native anglophones) fell for it a few times watching at my mockups.
That same comment could be turned around just as easily though. If your team mates have no concept of just how much of a distraction they are, or worse they don't care, then they'll interrupt you all the time for random reasons. Some times that's fine, some times it really does speed up what ever we're working on, but the `vast` majority of the time it's things that would have been 100% ok getting typed into a 2 sentence email for me to look at when I next opened my email. By slightly increasing the "cost" of communicating it makes people think a little more about the way they do it, and if a response is truly needed "right now".
I think the issue is that most people won't search for the exact phrase [oil change coupons] which has a US search volume of about 3600/mo. Your 'broad' level search shows anything related to 'oil change coupons'. The issue is that the other ~160000 searches per month are searches like "firestone oil change coupon" or "goodyear oil change coupons" which you will never beat Firestone or Goodyear on. Furthermore, those companies will never allow you to beat them even if you partner with them in some way. Currently, if they win the traffic for "[brand name] oil change coupons", they show the visitor their coupon ONLY but if they give that traffic to you, you will show them competitors coupons as well.

Consider Hipmunk. They do something similar to you. They wrap many disparate airlines and allow you to search them all at once easily. They ultimately send that purchase to that airline (or another third party like Orbitz) so it seems like it's in the airline's best interest to play nice but they originally didn't want to. Hipmunk eventually owned enough flight search traffic that they could get some good partners but that's hard to do and it's probably even harder with oil changes since getting a great deal on an oil change could mean dollars while getting the best deal on a flight could save thousands.

It's good to point out that Hipmunk (if I recall correctly) was more interested in the hotel search space and just used flight search as an easier way in. Meaning even with all the money in the commercial flight space, it apparently wasn't lucrative enough to focus on entirely.

I'm not trying to be negative and I'm certainly no expert in this arena. I just think these are valid concerns.
If you had any class, you'd take them to court. Slander isn't doing you any favors.
I think the biggest value will be for platforms that don't already have built in migrations, but hope that eventually some of the tools will be a reason to use the tool instead of traditional migrations.

The grand vision is that you won't ever have to write migrations again. You'll just modify your database and DevJoist keeps track of everything. You switch branches and DevJoist knows to update your database environment accordingly.
You are over thinking the statement, when they say "install a nuclear warhead in a missile" they are not speaking to the actual job of installing it. They use this phrase to represent the finished state of the nuclear device.

The hardest part of developing a nuclear weapon(as i understand, correct if wrong) is actually getting the fissile material. When experts refer to time periods(for a nuclear device, not necessarily a full missile) this is usually what they are referring to. They physics to actually making the nuclear devices by comparison is much easier to come by.

The process of getting the fissile material usually used is using centrifuges to separate the heavier u235 isotopes from the other isotopes of uranium. You can also use a reverse osmosis method to isolate the isotopes but this method is much more expensive and as such is not usually used by countries trying to get the first nuclear weapons.

Apart from the nuclear device you also have the construction of the rocket itself, which is a whole another ordeal itself.
Interesting move from Facebook. I wonder how growth hacking will evolve after this.
That's rather nihilistic.

You're only partly right: The dead won't care. But if you're remembered for good things by others, then by default you've done good while you're alive. That's really the point of living don't you think?

We can all debate the metaphysical on what happens afterwards, but what's real, observable and true is the effect you had on those around you while you're alive and the legacy you leave behind. Bayes obviously won't care what happens today, he can't. But those alive today still do after so many years.

The fact that we won't be around to experience the merits of our actions doesn't mean our actions should be devoid of merit.
