Or he may come out as insecure about his impediment, fearing it may affect their decision to hire him.

I have two friends who stutter, and it never occurred to me that their condition could be worth mentioning[0]. Maybe it isn't as bad as OP's, though.

[0] Unless one goes for an acting career, of course. On a serious note—I know it's easier to say, but maybe it would help OP stammer less if he didn't perceive it as something of importance in his professional area.
Ask HN: How to get rich in tech with minimum effort?
The question itself may be joke, and I myself really appreciate hard working.

But I am still curious to know some interesting, funny and slightly serious ideas, such as "million dollar homepage", " sites" (at the extreme soul cost), etc.
Which is part of the problem with reform: you happen to have a functioning HMO. What happens when you change employers? What happens when your employer doesn't offer insurance? You are one of the lucky few who has the connections, and deep-corporate-pockets (presumably, unless you're paying for your insurance out of pocket) to be able to get good insurance. But that isn't how most the country works. It's probably better for the masses to have the longer Canadian waits, rather than the quick-care American bankruptcies (or non-care).
Apple's '381 Patent Rejected by USPTO in Final Office Action
I know of one person that publicly complained after contacting Instacart privately about the change in service:

> the representative was defensive and used "we're a startup" as an excuse for the shift.

[disclaimer: I work on the Dart team]

1) We have unit tests and mocks built-in. Check out https://www.dartlang.org/articles/dart-unit-tests/

2) We have JS-interop. Check out http://www.dartlang.org/articles/js-dart-interop/

3) We have tutorials for Web UI. Check out http://www.dartlang.org/docs/tutorials/

Hope that helps!
I just think of these posts as "watch out for this company, it's shady." I think that's pretty valuable to know.

And let's be honest, Instacart could have preempted this blog post easily by just saying "sorry about that, we've refunded the fees and if you wish to cancel the service now that the terms have changed, we'll prorate it." I think the blog poster would have been happy with that.

Instead they gave the classic "if" half-apology: "I apologize if for some reason you did not receive it." Not even trusting their customer that he really didn't receive the notice!
That's a wonderful sentiment, but I really have to wonder, how far does it go? I've heard the same thing from other people who went on to protest scientific studies of sexuality or research on cochlear implants or a dozen other similar things, all on the grounds that such things were 'offensive' and 'destructive towards culture'.

Maybe you don't believe these things. I have little enough reason to think you do. But once you actually have to choose between this group 'curing' themselves and that group 'protecting their culture', who do you have the most sympathy for?
Your Surface RT(if you really have one) does not come with a Windows 8 Certified Logo sticker.
Good news!

It is illegal in the US for a company (or the customer) to unilaterally change the terms at any time. If either party to a contract attempts to change the terms, the other side can simply refuse to accept the new terms. In such case, the original contract will continue on until its original termination date/event.

In sum, changes to a contract are only valid if both parties agree to it.

That is, and has been, the law of the US and English-speaking countries for hundreds of years.
I wonder if filing a credit card dispute would get anywhere.

Couple more suggestions:

1. In the REPL, highlighting of matching parenthesis/brackets (like in CLISP) would be good.

2. In the top-level Makefile, add a target "make distclean" to mean "make cleanall". distclean is the "GNU standard" [1]. Similarly "make mostlyclean" could clean everything except major dependencies.

[1] http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Standard-T...
I don't think they actually get that option unless it was written in the contract that they agreed to on payment of the 99 bucks
To be fair, there's a difference between a library and a language here. Replacing or taking on the maintenance for a library is a much more feasible option for many than jumping to a new language or taking on the maintenance for an entire language (as it's not just the compiler, it's also custom tooling, debugging, plus Dart really needs its own libraries, etc.)

To be fair, the headaches today were our (Swish's) fault, not Microsoft's. If MS decides to run another set of these, we'll make sure we are better prepared.

Unless you mean the disabled "I'm a developer" button -- that was intentional and supposed to be fun.
I don't think the author gets declarative right. It feels like he bolts a cool word onto some things he uses. Call me old fashioned, but I think Prolog is declarative, map() and reduce() are not.
Very impressive. It doesn't respond well to resizing the browser but maybe it is just a matter of playing with css "position" or something. Also, great name!
Yeah, that's the rub, isn't it? We (humans) are always so quick to make trade-offs that might not be in our best long-term interest, in order to gain some near-term convenience.

I'm certainly guilty of this myself: I use most of Google's services, for both personal use and I use a paid Google Apps account for my startup's email / etc. And I use an Android phone. Maybe it's time to start re-evaluating some of this stuff... Hmm...
I wonder if we could connect more innovators to environments and communities with real problems, in some interesting way , and by this connection enable those innovators to gain perspective, knowledge and connections to work on the problem ?

Something that's built in such a way that a community create a lot of knowledge about the problem and context(general situation, current solutions and their limitations) , but maybe not the solution, so people could be more motivated to implement their invented solutions?

It would be better to pick one and go into how it's used, the benefits, drawbacks, etc, rather than a link with a sentence or two.

Cool. I learned more from the Bastards Book of Ruby than any other Ruby resource. Wish it was updated more frequently....

That doesn't keep it from being a declarative thing.
Current Market Cap is at $1 billion.

Let's say all bitcoin becomes is a paypal killer.

Paypal had a total payment volume of $145 billion in 2012. Now you can't just say a fair value for bitcoin's market cap is $145 billion because that doesn't take money velocity into account. Some of that volume could be the same dollars floating around. You don't need $145 billion in cash all at once to cover that activity. But paypal's revenue was $5.6 billion. So the amount bitcoin needs to be worth to handle the same amount of business as paypal is somewhere between those two numbers, and even a low $10 billion prices bitcoins at $1000 each.

Visa Inc had a total payment volume of $6.4 Trillion in 2012. Of course in addition to figuring out the actual money velocity you need to remove the credit component since bitcoin doesn't do that. But some sketchy back-of-the-envelope math can demonstrate that a $100 billion dollar market wouldn't be unheard of, with $10,000 bitcoins.

Of course I'm talking like 10-20 years out for anything like that, not today.
...what?

I'm not even going to respond to that troll bait first point of yours, but as for the second, please give some insight as to how a programmer in charge of writing insurance claims processing applications can "fix the base system."

MS may do another run of these, but we don't know. The other tools on modern.ie are genuinely useful too. We tested Swish using browserstack to resolve a thorny IE8 problem.

Some of the best uses of D3 show understanding of every part of the process from getting, understanding, and cleaning the data, to thinking about its structure and designing interactions that let the user really get a feel for what is being presented. I think this project helps a little bit somewhere in the middle of the process, and ignores the rest of it.
I'd argue this is why the idea of customer support/community management is an entire department on itself. Customers in general, are not forgiving. Knowing how to deal with them properly takes social savvy, and you have to be aware how emails can turn into a PR blunder.

The customer in this case was put in a position that made him feel that he needed to publically shame. A good PR/Customer Support rep would have seen this coming and would have defused the situation earlier.

San Francisco, CA (South Park) - Junior and Senior developers

One Block Off the Grid makes the complicated business of going solar as a homeowner easy, by doing remote system design and comparison shopping between financing providers. Think Expedia but with an expert guide (our solar advisors) to show you the different offerings between competitors.

We're 4 years old, VC backed and making money. With over 230,000 members interested in green home improvements and thousands of systems installed, we need developers with great brains and a passion for positive impact.

Types of things you might work on:

* Building and improving on remote design tools using satellite imagery.

* Building new business units that help our members save even more money on electricity by reducing consumption (think lighting, energy retrofits, energy management systems).

* Integrating with the top installers' sales platforms in an industry where APIs don't exist.

* Building awesome analytics dashboards from scratch.

About the team

We're a small team but we're growing fast. We're hoping to add 4 developers in the next month and grow quickly over the next year and a half. Because we're small, you'll be expected to be able to take a project and own it. We deploy frequently so your code will be in the wild within the first couple days after you join us.

Our culture is fun and lighthearted, but we love getting shit done. We're right on South Park, right in the heart of SOMA. It's Twitter's first office, Instagram's first office and of course our office, so there's lots of good startup magic here.

We're offering good salaries, full benefits and equity. Also the chance to work at a company that's building awesome technological solutions that will positively benefit the planet.

If you're interested, email Jennifer Hemmings, our awesome HR manager: hr@1bog.org
One thing the authors forgot to mention is that Freelance Developers are responsible for paying for their own benefits, unemployment insurance, social security and other taxes. So yes the folks at GoodSense are correct: you're probably going to make more $ each paycheck as a freelancer. But you will also be shelling out more $ for these taxes and benefits. At year end your income as a freelancer could be exactly the same as a full time employee. Good resource to learn the legal bits involved with freelancing is http://www.sba.gov/content/self-employed-independent-contrac...

Parts were shot in Pittsburgh, LA, Manhattan, and London. The Freedom Tower under construction was obviously visible in some skyline shots.

It might have been AutoData, but they have merged with Chrome. Edmunds has a decoder, but it's pretty laughable. I'm not aware of any other major players in that field outside of those.

Chrome offers 1-1 matches on VIN to style Ids for most OEM's, but it's an additional cost.
Mostly what failed was outbound bandwidth. Users weren't getting the JSON response from the payment page, though sometimes the payments went through. Confirmation emails were very reliable, though, (thanks Amazon SES!).
Yeah, if it became standard it could make your phone even more like a computer. Could open up a lot of possibilities.
I always hated google's /url? business. It's been used by more than a few pieces of malware (back when I was on Windows).

Well, unfortunately in today's day and age, things just don't get "escalated" in a company. Without feeling pain the company doesn't escalate things. Pain is a natural escalator, just ask your body it works the same way. When you feel pain depending on the severity of pain it will escalate over other tasks to stop/prevent it. I think although your view has merit and is also a good counter argument, its my belief that this is the natural course of things. cheers
I didn't know about this. Still, I was expecting a little longer of a communication with support-- 'escalation' or at least 'the ask' should have been done before the public shaming, in my mind. All I see now is a cordial and polite explanation from Instacart.

Lets get real: outside of two $8 charges that he's not even asked to be reversed, this is exactly the same service that he describes as "great" in the same post.
Haha. That makes a bit more sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Our Regressive Web
Having grown up in LA, I think it is LA specific (and a few other cities too). Given how big and spread out the city is, it is pretty difficult to walk around unless you only want local attractions in a certain area (say, Hollywood). Taking public transit or a bike might work for some attractions too, but it's also incredibly time consuming. I do a good 50+ miles of driving when friends/family are visiting even for a couple of days. Just to get out of my former neighborhood and to a shopping center or whatever, in the city of LA so not like out in the boonies, takes a couple miles alone.

Compare to SF where I live now, and I'm pretty happy I can walk to a lot more places within a few blocks :)

Helios Mobile Backend Framework
This is what I'm curious about ... what is an example of one of these carefully selected features for technical computing at the language level that is distinct from the other (dynamic) languages?

Clearly, a lot of work has gone into the library side of things, but I'm curious what is special about the language level for technical computing.
Offending Your Customers
Must be real then. The April 1st post date and all the obligatory buzz words like "Mobile first" threw me off.
Well, I hope you never call anyone "guy" then either, since it's derived from the name of a religious fanatic and (attempted) terrorist.
"I have a specific, personal customer service issue with this business..." - how is this a specific, personal issue? It seems to affect all customers, and as indicated on the post, it seems like none of them were notified about this change of policy... That's my basic understanding reading the post anyway.
Really Awesome. This sounds like an awesome market to get into. I just spent the last three days toying with various Data center visualization solutions and they all suck ( even OpenStack) in terms of usability and accessibility. It would be awesome to plug in a server and have all the power that OpenStack promises up and running, maybe Nebula can do it.

I understand, and it's a good point. That statement was just a personal lament based on my observations of the community of 2nd amendment supporters over the last few years.

I am in Maryland, Carroll County specifically. I'm a member of MSI, SAF and the NRA and have been engaging as much as possible with our senators and delegates over the last few weeks.

I'll likely be retreating to Pennsylvania or Virginia in the next couple of years - I'm sure many others will be as well. In the meantime, keep your powder dry and perhaps we'll meet one day on the range. :)

Issue Export, One-click full github import, and more on bitbucket
As one of the colleagues of the author of this library, I can give my semi-biased opinion. To be honest, having worked in a previous life with Numpy+SciPy, the appearance of Saddle in our tech stack made the reasoning of complex numerical code easier. I'd suggest using it not just for it's performance (quite impressive for a JVM based library) but more for it's clear API. Expressible code (clean code) is debugged faster and maintained with less overhead. This library will let your code become expressive as a numeric library can be without sacrificing some of the nicer language features you've come to rely upon (map, flatMap, etc.)
Even Newton stood on the shoulders of giants. Iteration is innovation. Sometimes you just happen to be lucky enough to stumble on something big and important when you're iterating. But it's the same process, it only looks different in hindsight.
Honestly, for personal projects, I just use the Apple Reminders app. It syncs across devices and is easy to get to/add to. For anything that is read by people other than myself though, I use Github issues or Youtrack.

Where is the appeal in a WU created digital currency?

1. This will probably mean WU wants a cut of all transactions in any digital currency they create... for life.
2. No benefit over fiat currency?
3. Not anonymous.
4. All the "coins" are controlled by WU.
Chargebacks are possible within a limited time horizon. Generally 30 - 90 days depending on card company; also depends on whether you paid the bill or not.

In this case I think there was an alleged breach of contract several months down the road after the original poster had paid for an annual service.

Ah yes. The fraudsters favorite service for irreversible cash transfers will certainly have an advantage there.

Bankers for decades have put together private companies financials from loan applications and generated "standard" financial ratios which function as "fingerprints" for an industry. Part of getting a commercial loan is having your companies financials compared to others from your industry, if your numbers are out of step from the industry when you ask for a loan questions will be asked.

Dart just happens to be the ecosystem they've chosen; there's no reason they couldn't have chosen ClojureScript, for example, which provides all of the same benefits (a more out-of-the-box experience). It's more of a post about their desire for a package manager and module loader being built into the language.
The naming conventions are fine, but they're very different from C#, F# or JS - it's basically the difference between reading English text and reading formulas (i.e. compositions of weird letters and symbols).
+1 for speech therapy. I was a kindergardener with a terrible stutter. Over the summer my parents sent me to speech therapy, and I learned some tactics for helping with my stutter.

I still feel my stutter rising up when I talk (this is 20 years out of Kindergarden) but I'm able to check myself.

I was going through old report cards that my parents saved a few years ago. In the "Questions for the Teacher" section of my 1st grade report card, my dad asked the teacher if she had seen improvement with my stutter.

That's a lower-level version of map in a language with destructuring: Haskell would let you say

double numbers = map (\x -> x * 2) numbers

or

double [] = []
double (x:xs) = x * 2 : double xs

or

double = map (*2)

I don't think #2 is more declarative than #1, let alone #3. Then again, I don't think any of these versions is very declarative.

Declarative would be numpy:

doubled = numbers * 2

Wait. Whaaaat??? The content producers are getting their shows time-shifted for free with commercials, so more people will watch the commercials than otherwise would have been able to. Why are they even suing??? They should be sending Aereo flowers!!

(I know, a significant fraction of DVR users skip the commercials. But hasn't the number been shown to be around half, or less? I always skip commercials with the TiVo, but my wife never bothers. I figure that's probably roughly representative of the population.)
