Yes in a perfect world you never need to clear everything, but sometimes it's useful for testing or to allow end users to clear the cache in case of caching bugs.
You suggest that it's important for junior tech professionals to try and answer their own questions with, e.g., Google. But I feel like every other month I see somebody talking about all the bad habits developed by people who trust W3Schools as a credible resource because they're highly ranked on Google.

The junior professionals who most frequently need to find quick answers for straightforward questions are the same people who are the least well-equipped to identify which answers are credible and appropriate. It's a paradox of finding trustworthy information without consulting the only sources you know to be trustworthy, and as someone new to the field myself, I lose sleep over this stuff.

I'm giving the commenter the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he means that "there's nothing wrong with getting someone hammered to try and sleep with them", he means that "society seems to have a much smaller problem with getting someone hammered to try and sleep with them despite it being the same basic idea as GHB."

Questions:

0. How important is simplicity (modularity) to the project?

1. Will Tox work for user "idontrungentoo"? Will it compile on Solaris, BSD, etc.

2. Will the GUI be optional? If not, why is it mandatory?

3. Can Tox work without DHT? What if two users just want to call each other without connecting to tens, hundreds or thousands of strangers? If there are problems with the DHT, are they SOL?

It would be good to have competing teams all working on some similar system (a Skype alternative) and then have an open bake off, instead of just idle criticism in forums like this one. This way we could see which system actually works the best instead of just theorizing about design choices and taking random anecdotes from alleged users in forums on faith.
Good article, I particularly noticed the "just to listen" in meetings bit. If you want to provide a lot of value in this role?

Take good notes. What meeting, when, where, with who? Who is in person/remote? Write as fast as you can, capture "todos", "next steps", follow up items of all kinds, important decisions. After the meeting, email the participants with your notes. Put them in your document repository (wiki, sharepoint, SCM if you must).

This way you provide value, people see you, and they see that you are paying attention. It also gives you good fodder to ask questions later, e.g. "What did XYZ term mean?", "Why was Laura asking about question Y?", "Did no one think of X, or was it obvious?"

Taking good notes is an art, and it's easiest when you are "just" listening.
Sounds like a really solid argument for mission-specific or date-specific encryption keys.
They appear to be begging the question. The statutes in question do not say that drinking negates consent, they say that it is rape if someone is too drunk to consent. You have to look at precedent to try to determine what constitutes "too drunk to consent". It is not a simple case of "oh I was drinking so nothing I say counts" as some like to portray. The law has to be careful because claiming "I was drunk" to get out of consent would also have significant repercussions on other cases, not just rape.
This is being done on a large scale, health tourism is a real thing. I think probably you dont realize how widespread this phenomenon is, and conversely I think more than a 'large scale' you are really asking, why isn't virtually everyone doing this?

The same set of circumstances could arguably destroy motivation as well.

Your life is already better than any of your ancestors, why stay past 5pm? You already make a lot of money, why bother with a side project or startup on nights and weekends?

Sometimes I think motivation is fairly disconnected from circumstances of life.
I can see the Chromecast being useful for presentations in an office environment too. Instead of a projector or messy cables, just plug the Chromecast into a suitable TV and display your presentation on a large TV screen to an audience.
> There's nothing wrong with two people having a few drinks and going to bed together. But it's at the very least creepy to plan to knock someone's inhibitions down that way, or to take advantage of them.

Is there an objective test, that can be administered by a third party, to differentiate between these two cases? If not, then what?
Perhaps for performance? I do think that decision is an awkward one. It fails the principle of least surprise.

Have fun moving the goal posts around.

> Java was created in the mid-90s before every man and his dog was trying to solve the c10k problem on a $5/month VPS. Hardly surprising.

So what? C10k isn't a hard thing to do on the JVM and it probably beats Go by a large margin in terms of latency and performance.

> Why do you think Scala has both blocking, and "event based" (loop/react) API's?

Your point is ...?
There are plenty of different libraries, because concurrency can be tackled in different ways. Use the right tool for the job. Unlike in Go, where you pretty much have to shoe-horn everything into “goroutines” or channels.

The lack of developers which run around and try to tell everyone that they found the silver bullet for solving concurrency in Scala is a sign of a mature community which has experience and expertise and doesn't just repeat whatever Rob Pike says like Go users seem to do all day long.

> Quite possibly, you must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of callback hell in Node.js.

Eh ... so what? It's not like Node's terrible approach is the only alternative to Go's approach.
Claiming “A is the best, because B is even worse” just shows a complete lack of knowledge of existing solutions.

> What is lacks (my original comment) is the ability to write event-based code using a synchronous, blocking style (without callbacks).

Again: No it doesn't. Do your research instead of claiming blatantly false things.
Places that produce creative work are often plain. It makes the work stand out more. Also, I think if the work is boring you'd want a more creative space.

However, these just seem wacky and zany. Often tech people have really bad taste, but a lot of money. This type of office is the result. shudder

You've missed that they're referring to level 2 and 3 virtual circuits, IE "data is always delivered along the same network path, i.e. through the same nodes" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_circuits#Layer_2.2F3_v... )

Disclaimer: I am a student at General Assembly WDI in Santa Monica, and I am also looking to go to Hack Reactor in San Francisco when this is completed.

I totally agree you DO NOT need to go to these programs. Everything that they teach is definitely out there for you to learn on your own. I started to get interested in this stuff last year working on a start-up/project and I like these schools for a couple reasons;

1. I get access to instructors. Because I am a "noob" I get flustered when I spend 2-3 hours looking for an answer. 65% of the time, Stackoverflow has the answer. But for the other 35% that needs an in depth examination, having an instructor 10 feet away from me for 9 hours a day is incredible.

2. Employer confidence. I believe the best way to get fucking good at this "craft/trade" if you will, is to be gainfully employed where you get paid to spend in excess of 40 hours a week working on your craft. There is no doubt you can get a job without these programs by teaching yourself, building some shit, making a nice github and applying for entry level/intern level dev jobs. But employers like seeing you came from these programs. It's a "stamp of approval" if you will. Companies take a chance on hiring junior devs, and these programs offer some piece of mind being "hey, this person was good enough to get in this program, and has spent 12 weeks being trained by these other qualified people".

3. Network. I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting 20 other incredibly smart, driven, talented, and fun people. I get to be surrounded, pushed, and inspired by these people everyday 5 days a week, 9-12 hours a day, for 12 weeks.

4. Teaching you how to learn. This is huge for me. People on the outside seem to say that these programs make people "one trick ponies" who only know how to do some rails CRUD app. But that is really not true. The biggest thing with this program (and others) is it teaches you how to learn this stuff. Rails will be gone in a couple years replaced by something new. All this shit is always changing; it's our job as web devs to stay on top of it, and adapt to survive. Skills like asking the right questions, reading documentation, where to go when you're stuck etc.

These are just some of the benefits I can think of off the top of my head. These are not for everyone, but it has helped me immensely and love doing this. It should also be noted, I am 21 and dropped out of school to go to this.

Edit; The title changed. Originally this comment was to note on the original title of "whether app academy/DBC/HR/Hacker School etc is worth it". My argument was for why I think, in my opinion, these programs are worth it. Didn't want this taken out of context.

Curiously, today I've make a present to a young girl, a sentence to put in the wall:

"do what you love, love what you do"

I think the second part of the sentence, is as important as the first one.

About jobs I've follow both routes across years. I started with the "two jobs" route, and after enter in jobs related with what I love, then I switched to the "organic route".
Come on, "considered harmful" is really overused now. I usually do not even read articles with "considered harmful" in the title anymore, because it is usually someone whining about a thing he has not properly understood.
Nice. Makes you wonder why no one did this so far.
Yup. Got my degree in AE, did a victory lap, and lived in Atlanta a couple more years before moving to Chicago.

That's rather common. If swapping can harm your application, than don't swap. On a machine where slowdown is tolerable (temporarily, on a desktop), swap is fine. On a machine whose entire purpose is to serve as a fast cache in front of slow storage, swapoff and fall back to shedding or queuing requests at the frontend.
The cynic in me suggests that it has nothing to do with that, that the primary benefit of open plan offices is that it looks "cool" especially when you're an executive who thinks the whole Management By Walking Around thing is the way to run a software company and gets a slight ego boost by walking around saying "Good Job, keep it up."

Actually it's not entirely cynicism, its backed up by experiences I have had.
I think one of the subtleties that is overlooked is that by being the "future" of networking, OSI drew in all the "big guns" who worked hard to control it to their advantage. Whether it was the folks at IBM who were pushing Token Ring/SNA, or Netware, or anything really. Since it was the standard to be, influencing it was the high priority.

That allowed the IETF to continue in relative calm and without serious interference during the 80's. That all changed in the 90's when people started figuring out they were betting on the wrong horse.

In 1993 at the 27th IETF [1] I put forth the proposal that this code we had all been using (RPC/XDR) that was described in various informational RFCs (RFC1057/RFC1014) which everyone treated like a 'standard' actually be blessed as a standard. Pretty much the consensus was that it was a fine idea except that forces at that point that were rather anti "Sun" went out of their way to kill it. It was sad to watch, and folks who had been going to IETF meetings for a decade or more were appalled but damned if it had become impossible for the IETF to bless something as a standard any more. That really soured me on 'standards' for a long time.

what time do you wake up?, how many hours do you sleep? any strategies for waking up?
It's a good sentiment, but it doesn't usually work that way.

A decade later you find that you don't just have one half-assed solution to rewrite, you have a decade's worth. And because you're spending every second of your working life maintaining that teetering pile of kludges the idea of setting aside enough time to do a proper rewrite is sheer fantasy.

Certainly there is a good case to be made for accepting technical debt as a necessity in order to get products into the market and revenue coming out of the market, but on the other hand the typical software development organization tends to be drowning in technical debt. Pay down your technical debt regularly and quickly, not after a decade. For every example of the half-assed temporary solution that made the company money there is a story of development hampered by the burden of maintaining more technical debt than is wise.

Or, is it the 20% that make the 80% look bad?
you are going to see different langs here than what's generally trending at stackoverflow purely due to the culture that surrounds hn (which is start-up based), so you're going to see more Ruby, Python, Go, ect (although you should be able to search all those tags on SO as well).

In the industry (as far as what I read anyway), it seems mobile programming and 'Big Data' are currently at the forefront.

Web vs standalone: depends on the application. If there is a need to make it web-based...then make it web-based. If there's no need then why put in the extra work/resources.

It really is a very broad question, but you want to pick the best tools for the job. You wouldn't use a spoon to saw a tree down, similarly you wouldn't use Java for a car control system. The only way to know the differences is to dive a little into each language and learn it's pros/cons.

People have evolved to communicate with identities. Never in history have people communicated on such a large scale anonymously. To say it is "true nature of people" is interesting because anon communication isn't natural at all.
"but certainly I don't feel I have 100x in buying power"

Sometimes the economics do conveniently work out this way, which is why some people might get confused. For example I lived in Poland for a few years, and at the time a dollar got you about three zloty, and for the majority of day-to-day stuff you did indeed have about 3x the buying power. Of course for things like computers you ironically had about 1/3 the buying power.
There is no legal definition of "drunk consent". It's up to a jury to decide if a person was too intoxicated to consent. It's also extremely hard to prove, which is part of why rape convictions are rare.

There are definitely laws about surreptitiously intoxicating someone, however, which may quickly lead to conviction if proven.
What does the type of person who would buy drugs look like?
choosing that expense you doom the ones who can not afford it.

Do I?

Elsewhere in this thread is a post about a surgeon greatly improving the lives of those who cannot afford it by buying a used laparoscopic tool and creatively applying it. I've had laparoscopic surgery; thanks to the high price I & others pay, the laparoscopic instruments used may have replaced the very same one that Indian doctor is using. Far from "dooming the ones who cannot afford it", the system which regularly replaces top-end tools makes entirely acceptable equipment very affordable to regions which can't pay top-end prices.

Disallow me from paying an extra $50,000 to get that extra 0.75% survival odds, and the surgeon very well may not buy that next-generation laparoscopic tool and, as a consequence, sell the still-perfectly-good used one at low cost ... making it possible for another doctor to increase the survival rate for his patients by 5%.
In rural america often times the only doctors are Indian or Pakistani.
> Your basically claiming

I am not claiming this, this is how things work in the logo design industry. There are of course copyrights, trademarks and legal matters, but there are also professional ethics. Ideas and concepts are getting recreated all the time, that's life. But it's also why people post sketches and ask if anyone has seen anything similar, only to discard them and move to another concept.
Lot of comments on HN, Reddit, and elsewhere criticizing the title ("what does the MBA thing have to do with anything?", "who cares if its an MBA?", etc.), which I think is a little ironic because the overwhelming mentality on tech forums is that MBAs are idiots with more money than brains that get paid absurd amounts of money to play golf and talk about synergy who could never do what we do.

I'm glad that more traditionally non-tech people are being exposed to the wonders of programming. I'd be equally ecstatic if the title read 'English major builds app in less than 2 months.'
"its crazy how I have the ability to literally create something from nothing, something worth potentially millions if not billions of dollars" i get that too, but it doesn't sustain me for long.Do you like meditate on this or remind yourself constantly...how do you keep it in your mind.

You have some other options to solve that:
- SSH Key management with SKM
- SSH Key DB
- Openssh LPK (SSH Patch that supports LDAP)
- Openssh Ldap Publickey

I believe that Openssh Ldap Publickey is one of the best options cause it does not require any patches or file syncing and it keeps the public keys in a central LDAP server.
