I am not sure that the new boss dislikes your personality. Maybe he just sees a higher ceiling for you and wants to help you get there. Or needs you to get there.

That said, he currently may no more have the tools to communicate effectively to you, than you have to act in the way he sees you capable of. Managers learn on the job by paying the dumbtax, just like everyone else.

The real choice I see you facing, is one of trusting him to have good intent. Doing so, however, will require abandoning a hope of convincing him that you cannot change, and instead listening and asking questions and working on becoming a better leader...together, he probably needs it too.

Eating together is important in some corporate cultures. It sounds to me like the new boss may be trying to build a better culture for everyone, not just for you.

Lastly, taking a risk and putting some trust in the new boss, does not look like it will cost you much, you've got another job offer now, you can probably get one again - and maybe that one will be your dream job. Give it a chance, what have you got to lose?

Good luck.

The fun game when reading this is s/LIBERTY RESERVE/bitcoin and then seeing how much of it is still true.

"The defendants deliberately attracted and maintained a customer base of criminals by making financial activity on LIBERTY RESERVE anonymous and untraceable." Sort of applies to Bitcoin (it's pseudonymous and in some cases hard to trace).

The "exchangers" thing is exactly how Bitcoin works. Just like LR/Bitcoin, a lot of them are unlicensed MSBs.

"traffickers of stolen credit card data and personal identity information; peddlers of various types of online Ponzi and get-rich-quick schemes; computer hackers for hire; unregulated gambling enterprises; and underground drug-dealing websites."

Good news: in addition to other criminal charges, it's just a matter of turning over property including but not limited to: "a sum of money of at least $6 billion in United States Currency".
Can I ask why? The information presented is really very basic. There are more in depth tools to get, and record, this information.

Personally, I would rather get system information from outside the running webapp.
What about that bullshit regulation that credit processors have to pass? Doesn't that have a clause about timely response/mitigations of reported bugs/flaws?

From listening to a lot of Pimsleur I know that, for me, anticipation and correction is one of the most powerful ways to learn a language.

I'm pretty sure that listening to a dialog, trying to work out what is said and being corrected a few seconds later by the actual translation would have an amazing impact on a lot of people (although it might be a bit too hard for beginners.)
Chef/Puppet are typically used for managing servers. Using them to configure the SSH client configuration on your laptop is very likely overkill.

This falls more within the terrain of orchestration rather than config mgmt. You might want to rely on your munging your SSH config rather than something more elaborate like "knife ssh", fabric, mcollective, salt, etc.
Just because I pointed out flaws in your arguments doesn't make it ok to respond like this. Please refute what I said based on clear references and without name calling such as "insanities".

E.g. you said: "forced": prove it. Also, you didn't back up your previous claims, just made different claims.

A Lesson In Personalized Customer Service: elance and Fabio Rosati
Ask HN: Why is living in the bay area such a big deal?
Hi HN,

As my finals have nearly come to an end I've decided to take a break for a year, learn about myself, do some design and coding, and to come back after one year and decide which road to take.

By thinking about which road to take I wondered why everyone is so into the bay area: It's an extremely expensive place to live, and talent is hard to find as you have to compete with Google and other major tech companies.

VC money is relatively easy to find but you don't have to live in the valley for that.

Are the meetups really worth it?

I'm asking this because I would love to apply for the Thiel Fellowship next year, but it's important to realize that I'll probably live in the valley for a long time afterwards. That's okay if things work out, but if they don't I'm stuck with quite high expenses and no academic background (I'm currently in highschool) which makes it hard to compete with all the Standford & Berkley grads.. Which would mean I probably have to start my life over again at some place else.

I could also go to college in The Netherlands, but after college I've some debt to work myself around and before I get a chance to take some sort of a decision again I might be around 25-30 and planning to have babies or something like that. I need your help!
Most people who claim that bike helmets aren't particularly useful in an urban setting usually say they aren't particularly useful below 20 km/h or in collisions with cars. Above 20 km/h helmets are useful.
Extensions are much slower and annoying to manage. If Opera Next does not include all the features Opera users used to have (the bin is just one of them) then none of them will actually use it. If we wanted Chrome, we would use it.
My org is just me. My revenue has remained fairly flat over that period. But the cost to access my data has risen rather steeply over that period. Had I purchased a stand alone application to start with, I would have saved 50% of the cost.

I'm not talking about large installs for big organizations - I was speaking directly to the value options for small organizations. Most SaaS are designed to funnel end customers into higher profit services for no real reason other then higher profit. Value wise it's not a good deal for the customer.

I wouldn't say incredibly well, more like a passing mark. In fact I would compare Spring to Maven: It gets the job done, it's probably even the best of the alternatives, it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

I find that for many of the configuration use cases that Spring is supposed to solve I am better off doing things programmatically (heresy in the Java world). Yes, this can be done and still have testable, decoupled configuration. (As for changing configuration on the fly, nobody does that. It is a leftover from the "Deployer" role defined by Sun's J2EE specification.)
No. You have to pay if you want referrer info from Google.

I didn't mean the openldap config. Sometimes the daemon just plainly does not start. You basically have to resort to using strace to figure out what is wrong with the thing. Systemd redirects stderr and stdout, highly useful IMO.

Openldap gives difficult to debug starting problems in loads of cases. E.g. problem in a certificate, config problem, etc. Then you might want to increase the debugging level. Really not fun to look into some script and figure out what actually eventually is passed to the openldap daemon as arguments.
They took it some time ago.
That's pretty interesting. It makes me even happier that I've switched over to using passwords like .!a7&Xn2\#ZRS]!:`\.H2j;{7 for everything (unique per-site, password manager). I'm guessing that such a password, when properly generated, isn't going to be cracked without a quantum computer...

Like in many aspects of life. People tend to take ideas and extend them to the point where their cost is higher than their value. But it is the job of a good developer/architect to find the happy point where they are valuable.
What reputation? As far as I can tell they only manage to stay in business because banking laws are really perverse so competition's effectively non-existent if you want to do business with the US.

What are you talking about? What apps? All you need for the darned thing to do is stream media from some wireless storage device (or the internet)!
How so? People will be expecting their software to contain rootkits, and so there will be tons of people immediately analyzing any new releases.

Given that already when I last bothered with pirated software in the early 90's, serious warez traders were mostly only interested in software weeks before its scheduled release (it was not uncommon for unfinished versions of games to leak), which involved not just getting hold of the releases through leaks or hacking, but breaking any protection, and this would make up the first serious challenge for the warez scene in many years, and this will draw not just the warez scene, but security researchers, as well as a lot of "regular" developers like me who are fed up with these kinds of attempts, they are facing pretty much an army that will be dissecting every release.

Sure, some will slip through for some users, but every single instance will result in new counter-measures, many of which you can expect will cover as-yet undiscovered flaws in addition to just fixing specific issues.

E.g. a logical protection against attempts at attacking faulty filesystem permissions settings is to blanket ban access to the filesystem and whitelist specific files, specific directories, and sanity check all access to them.

For every loss, we will win more robust application sandboxing capabilities, and more people will be motivated to consistently make use of them.
There's so many assumptions in your statement(s) that it's hard to really take them seriously. I don't know where you get the idea that "A successful company making lots of money" and "Companies with more than 10 employees" always intersect.

Instant API
If you are an HP user because you want stability, then the wait for ghc-7.6 was just long enough: There was a critical bug fixed in 7.6.3 which was released just in time for this HP release!

We do not release HP for every GHC update for two reasons: 1) Most GHC updates are not in the stability category that HP strives for, 2) Often new GHCs require minor updates to other packages in the HP. The revving of the whole kaboodle more than twice a year is far too much work than the small volunteer group can handle!
I don't see what would prevent those hosts from updating. Its not like installing SFTP and Postgres is that big of a deal (even on a huge deployment, it shouldn't take that long...)

Akamai vs. CloudFlare - Simple Stats
This looks awesome and I love that it's 100% css. You're also helping Yahoo! look cool from a dev side.
Out of curiosity, would it be illegal to do that? I mean ethically it's definitely wrong, and I'm sure it's illegal to sell it to someone if you know they are going to try and exploit it for profit, is there a technical loophole to hide behind?

Say, you sell it to someone and to the best of your knowledge they want to claim the reward for themselves. To justify the increased price you received by selling it to a third party instead of submitting it for the bug reward you could say that the third party intends to claim the bug as his own work and the professional cred they'll receive justifies the increased price.
From what I heard, PayPal exists in the gray area between merchants and banks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that have to do... well, anything. They could shut down tomorrow and take all the money and it would be perfectly legal.

MagPointer Puts The Power Back In PowerPoint Presentations
As a former Sony fanboy, I'm eager to agree. They're stuck in a mindset of presenting users with a boxful of cool hardware, and baffled by the notion that users actually want an intuitive comprehensive UI/UX to go with it.

Three Sony anecdotes I hope someone can learn from & act on:

1. Every DVD/Bluray player has a "Play" button. Press Eject, insert disc, push tray in, wait for menu to appear...why then does pressing Play not do anything? Why must I hunt down the remote to press the unmarked "Enter" button to play the movie when there's a Play button on the device I'm in arm's reach of because I just stuck the disc in? Yes, I know there's some technical explanation - I don't care, I just stuck the disc in and want to make it play the movie now without further fiddling.

2. My disc player has WiFi built in (that so many Sony products claim such support, then require purchase of a separate device-specific adapter costing nearly as much as the device is another rant). Nearly every time it does a network operation, it pops up a "Network Operation Complete [OK]" message, requiring me to acknowledge the fact it did what I told it to - rather than going on and doing the obvious next step. Get on with the action already.

3. The slew of "apps" built in are...ugly. Worst offender by far was the promotion for Salt (movie released just as the device was on the market): here I've got a flagship product from the company, trying to show itself off with clips from a big-budget blockbuster movie they own all rights to, hardware capable of pristine 1080p, and they're running the video at...scaled-up VGA super-grainy low-bandwidth streaming? Eeeeewwwww.

I rant because these are representative of so many other in-kind idiocies I keep running into on otherwise very satisfying products, belying a chronic lack of concern for actual use of the products. Indeed, they're still in the mindset of the Walkman: insert tape, push play, no further interaction; that world ended long ago.

I think for basic functionality, we still have a long way to go with Git clients.

There's no reason we can't make a Git client that's as simple to use as FTP, and obscures advanced functionality completely unless a user asks for it. Github's desktop clients still aren't quite this.

I'm sure someone would ask why use Git at all then if you're not going to be branching/merging all the time- but at least then when I (more advanced person) need to come in and fix someone's site, I've got a good place to work from, even if they've always just committed linearly to a single branch.
For what it's worth, I really think this is great. Some questions:

By appearances this is part of YUI. What's the relationship between this project and YUI3? Will this be taking the place of YUI's css grid system? What's Yahoo's involvement in the project (stupid question, maybe, but I'm not so familiar with YUI and am curious about at what level the project is controlled by Yahoo, and to what extent its progress is community-driven)?
Even if it's not your responsibility, it's your problem. Replacing a contractor is not like replacing a cog in a machine.

As for deciding what's enough for a stable financial condition, I can't. What you I do, as a manager is to pay attention for warning signs.

Years ago, I had a programmer, young and very bright, who kept entering lousy freelance projects on the side. He was under great pressure because he had financial problems. I didn't want to lose him, but burnout was already on the horizon. When performance review time came, I enrolled him on a personal finance course. Within six months, the freelance jobs went away, he started coming in earlier and the already good quality of his work improved further. He had more time to study, more time for his family and more attention for his work.

I've been very interested in converting my vehicle to run on natural gas but I haven't been able to find any services that do it, nor any price estimates. (US east coast) Is this an area to consider starting a business?
Very cool, is that documented somewhere by any chance?

I've noticed the same, the only time I can ever "keep up" with the green lights on my folding Dahon is on 5th ave, the very down-hill portion from 40th street to about 23rd.

There are some special streets though which are not in sync with the other lights: 42nd, 23rd, 14th (maybe 34th)... so as long as I catch each leg within one green light I consider that successful.
You can get a list of dupes to eat without a temp table with something like:

select min(id), count(*) as dupecount from yer_table group by some_hash_identifier_or_whatever having dupecount > 1

And then just iterate thru delete from yer_table where the id = the min(id) as fetched above.

Or maybe your business logic is to keep the oldest record and zap the newest. Or based on some column data rather than simply age.

Now the really interesting discussion is how often this happens (like once-off, or every 10 seconds, or), and how scalable you need it to be. Are you talking about 100 records or 100e6 records. Also literal duplicates as in "two" works pretty well but not so good if there's 50 duplicates and you need to delete 49 of them. Of course for 49 duplicates you could select the identifier hash and the lone lowest ID and delete all entries with the same identifier hash where the id isn't the lowest id for that hash...
