Yeah, I wasn't sure how much of that is my perception vs actual reality. I don't find unix fascinating and interesting any more, so I have a hard time judging whether that is skewing my perception of how much discussion and interest there seems to be from other people.

On the other hand, openbsd has no xen support and ec2 and other xen based providers are hugely popular now. I wonder how much that has affected things. I ran everything on openbsd back then, and now that I am getting back to doing some sysadmining, it appears openbsd isn't even an option for a lot of people.

Oxygen Particle Allowing You To Live Without Breathing
What I meant is that "if designed for interop" in the case of numbers is something like "there is no design for numbers, just use the host's numbers", that's not a very interesting design. And it leads to, for instance, huge differences between Clojure and ClojureScript (as you note).

Totally agreed. I can hear her in my head saying this: "Well that's the last time I experiment with anything new. I learned my lesson."

And that makes me sad.

Now-August CST, August-December ACT (Australia Central Time)

I'm a full stack developer who specializes in Rails and AngularJS.

I have 5 years experience doing web development in all shapes and sizes from sys ops to front end; from huge Rails apps to small Wordpress sites. Current learning passions are Redis, Golang and Node.

Blog: http://waynehoover.com

I'm passionate about the web, and love to make things happen fast and efficiently.
| Unfortunately, this is the way in which
| "market forces" fail us. When all motivations
| ultimately spring forth from ever-higher profits
| and market dominance, how can "doing the right
| thing" for society as a whole win out on a
| consistent basis?

Theory (aka fantasy):

- The people running the company will be selfish and want to minimize the future risks to their offspring/descendents.

- If the company uses a practice that is bad, all of their customers will just boycott / switch to a competitor.

Reality:

- The people running the company may not have any offspring and therefore not much riding on the future.

- Most of these companies all use the same practices, so it makes boycotting hard. Switching to competitors that don't use these practices are more expensive (i.e. organic), and food is something that people need.

- The detriments of certain practices may not be known right away, and stopping them later could lead to lower short-term profits (and maybe not even increased long-term profits, just betterment of society), and Wall Street doesn't like this because all Wall Street is concerned about is numbers going up or down (all other considerations are not considered).

- Most people have issues with long-term thinking. Things that happen slowly over long time-spans don't seem to register.

Yes. And what's even worse is this: How many sites in common use actually need the Java browser plugin? And yet, if you are not careful, it will be enabled in your browser, thus increasing your vulnerability for no good reason.

If regular users were commonly aware of what browser plugins they actually need, and knew how to go through the list and disable the ones they actually didn't need, that would mitigate things somewhat.

I never used openbsd because it is secure, I used it because it is the least horrible OS I've tried. Poorly supporting more hardware is not very important to me, supporting the major hardware well is far more valuable.
5.3 gives support for the virt- paravirtualized interfaces provided by KVM and others:

In earlier releases it supported the T-series Sparc64 logical CPU partitioning.
It's slightly more.

Your code wouldn't create it's own ShippingGateway - it would be passed in (or "injected"). That Shipping Gateway could be a RealShippingGateway (for when the application is running in production) or a MockShippingGateway (for unit testing), or some other variant for when your test users don't want to actually ship things. It doesn't matter which of those it is to the object it's passed into, all it knows is that it has a ShippingGateway, and when/how to call it.

So it's Adapter Pattern + Interfaces together that matter.
> I am grasping at straws here but since it's Florida is it possible she is "the wrong color" ?

You are right.

This was not an over-reaction of a reported explosive device (made with caustic acids and bases - maybe a mix of bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc) going off on school grounds in this climate of fear after the Boston bombings.

This can be more easily explained away by the hate and bigotry brewing in this white school and this white police force. I mean, they are white, she is not. Nothing more to say here.

P.S., nothing is likely to come of this once the facts are brought up in court... http://www.wtsp.com/news/topstories/article/312750/250/Stude...

Except that the chance of the asset you are requesting being cached is pretty minimal. See https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1327 for links and discussion about this. The conclusion seemed to be that is it likely that a CDN does provide some benefit, but more from a localization of content and offloading the bandwidth, rather than a speed or cache hit benefit.

The Comfort of Busy Work
You are surprised at how much the discussion has focused on race? You must be somewhat sheltered. I am white and nerdy and a relative new comer to the United States and not particularly interested in race issues but even I know that race disparities in both arrests and incarcerations are huge. Black females are imprisoned 3 times as much as white females, and make that 6 times for black males. Do you really think that this girl has the same chances as if she were white?
I'm very excited about that. I recently switched to FreeBSD for my samba server (because of ZFS), but I still use OpenBSD for everything else. I've long (delayed, delayed, etc.) been going to replace the mail server and I might move from Postfix to OpenSMTP. I will have to do some tests.

thanks for looking!
That's why you contract out with a binary pass fail, and/or search for red flags, so the 3rd party replies if the dude is clean or perhaps mentions some areas requiring further study.

I can't be the only one here to have passed this process. I've done it a couple times. This vaguely resembles my military security clearance some decades ago in that my Army CO never had any idea I got picked up by the cops for truancy after skipping out of gym class in my sophomore high school year, but the clearance guy knew, didn't really care (I mean, come on, really?), and issued my clearance and that credential is good enough for my CO not to personally investigate my police record.

Needless to say the pass fail criteria provided to the 3rd party doesn't include things like "Is the candidate a jew?". They ARE often dumb, but not that dumb.

Usually it involves a lot of verification of resume "facts" like if the candidate claims no criminal record but a simple glance at a public facebook feed shows all manner of talk about his extensive time in jail, the red flag gets raised. No need to tell the company what church he attends, just warn them to take a second (first?) look at the criminal background report.
No need for an inflammatory (link-bait) title IMHO.

OK I admit I am jealous :(
In many ways it saddens me that Silverlight is now passe. As Silverlight solved this problem extremely well. If you followed the MVVM pattern correctly, and kept all code out of the XAML, then a designer could fully design the UI of an app in Expression Blend and they are actually designing the app. They just call into the ViewModel when they need to hook in functionality.
There is a whole history with Adobe's SVG and Macromedia's flash and patent-wars, but those ended when Adobe bought Macromedia. So, you're correct. I was light heartedly referring to the comment about free market places, not commeting in regards to Flash specifically.
If you live in a closed source ecosystem, you die in a closed source ecosystem.

e.g If you want to distribute closed source tools and software without sorting out a license first, your going to have a hard time because often this is exactly how free (in terms of price) software companies make their money.

Does anyone really hold software developers to the same standards as licensed professions (laywers, accountants, doctors, professional engineers etc.)?

NB I am married to a lawyer and have a brother who is a professionally qualified engineer, so I have to be careful never to refer to myself as a "professional" as I have no professional qualifications. I'm also quite happy not to have the level of personal responsibility and liability that they have!
I did a Show HN [1] for Resumonk almost an year back and got some awesome feedback & suggestions. I am about to finish college now and planning to work full time on it along with a co-founder.

So far it has got 17000+ users and a small percentage of them purchased the original $9 PRO plan. Based on all the user feedback, we have now revamped the product and added some of the widely requested features like DOC format support in the new Premium plan.

We would love to get feedback of the community on how we can improve the offering and build a profitable business. Thanks!
