I don't know if IRC is a great substitute for seeing a personal reaction complete with body language. Just little things like seeing whether someones eyes light up or glaze over when you show them something.

IRC can also be easily ignored as people go "AFK" or "busy", it's harder to ignore someone standing in your face.
Use common sense. First step, having the files in one folder. Everything mixed up. You move into a structure of seperating services from directives, controllers from filters and so on. But the way most people seems to be doing it (the Angular way™) when it comes to the bigger applications is by splitting it up by functionality/modules. So you have a forum and therefore probably at least 3 different modules, "thread", "user" and "forum" or something similar. Just follow the MVC pattern with whatever filestructure that works with you and your team.

Copy/pasting the menu bars? For that, I would have a directive which controls the display of the menu and acting accordingly. Only when declaration is needed and it's reusable. I don't understand your point about meaningful urls though, they are as meaningful as you make them.

> And it shouldn't be taboo to use a male model any more than a female one -- both are equally important.

Correct, and if there would be a tradition of using both, that would already be different. I see what you’re getting at, judging skin tones etcetera is important, but the Lenna picture doesn’t represent only nudity—she’s a playmate, and represents all the cultural luggage that comes along with that. If you’re looking for an inviting workplace open to others than cis straight males, making a playmate a central part of your research culture is silly.
I was quite honest about what literally happened there.

If you truly believe that learning to be a better communicator is extremely easy, why would you need to state that prior to several paragraphs of explaining how to be a better communicator?

Ask any educator about the effectiveness of lectures beginning with "X is easy, just follow these 5 weird tips!"

Either the 5 tips are trivial, or you were lying about it being easy.
My personal advice:

If you're starting a new codebase and don't have to care for legacy compilers, use it. Otherwise, it's a case by case decision.

I agree that you should never typedef a type different than _Bool to bool if you want to avoid a world of hurt, and I'd argue that using true and false in a C codebase is harmful as well.
Windows has large portion of its code written in C++
MacOS has large portion in embed C++ and objective C

Linux implements some C++ features like the `virtual`.
Why not start the company in the UK and just run it from Germany? It's all in the EU, right?
Ask HN: How should I disclose a vulnerability in a site I worked on?
I worked on a website just under 2 years ago. I recently discovered an SQL injection vulnerability which could easily allow any semi competent attacker full access to the database which contains personal details. It's an easy fix, I must have forgotten to escape some inputs. The problem is, I no longer have access to the server and the organisation has heavily restructured with my primary contact having left.

My questions are:

-Under UK law, can I be prosecuted if the site is compromised?

-Are the organisation likely to take action against me if I report the vulnerability?

-Would it be a good idea to disclose the vulnerability anonymously?

Thanks.
Radiation Near Japanese Plant’s Tanks Suggests New Leaks

" The highest reading was 1,800 millisieverts per hour, or enough to give a lethal dose in about four hours, Tepco said."

"About 430,000 tons of contaminated water, or enough to fill 170 Olympic-size pools, are stored in rows of tanks at the plant, which appears to be running out of open space to put them all. The contaminated water increases by 400 tons every day as groundwater flows into the basements of the damaged buildings housing the three ruined reactors, which melted down in the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.

Tepco must draw off that water to prevent it from overwhelming jury-rigged cooling systems that keep the reactors’ melted cores from reheating and melting into the ground in a phenomenon known as the China syndrome. Tepco has struggled to safely handle and store all the water."

Thank you for this video! It nearly convinced me to build my first EmberJS app (I'm coming from a BackboneJS background and I haven't decided yet between Angular and Ember).
Will you continue this kind of videos? Building a series by continuing the current "story" could be really really nice.
Well how are you going to decrypt the files if you suffer data loss without that file? Plus, the key should be strong enough that this doesn't matter, yeah.

I'm not too familiar with UK law, however, the ethical thing to do would be to reveal the vulnerability.

It would be helpful to know how you managed to come across the vulnerability. Did you scan your own code and see the oversight? If so, then you don't (hopefully) have anything to worry about in reporting. However if you probed the website, then that's a different matter entirely.

It may just come down to how you word the disclosure. If you can somehow go back to your original work and submit the code directly, then you've independently verified the vulnerability without having to display it on the site itself. Something along the lines of "I was going over some of my old code and came across this. If the same code is active on the site, I believe this could be a live vulnerability." Or something like that.
How we solved our #1 product management problem
Because lots of compilers in common use, particularly from Microsoft, don't support C99 so to work around their assheadedness you have to put in compatibility workarounds. Those workarounds behave differently from compiler-implemented bool, and the risk of errors from those inconsistencies is significantly greater than the benefit of using bool in code.
Thought: A team of competent people will work together well no matter their physical situation.

Thought the Second: It's going to take some really _good_ software to replicate the intangible benefits found when people work in the same office. Overheard hallway chats, oh-by-the-ways in the break room, impromptu white board discussions.

Thought the third: Because these intangibles cannot be measured, a majority of HN readers are going to have a difficult time seeing the value of them. Commit messages, working code doing something - you can measure that, and it is good.

How do you measure the value of a game of ping-pong during lunch?

I don't understand. Is the headline already not warning enough? Are you offended by the _existence_ of images?
I don't understand your comment. Why would this nude, of all of the nude images that exist, have any special importance in compression research? Other than historical reasons, of course.

For example, the colors and registration will be different than the original image, so it's not like a new scan will identically include the same pixels as the old scan. If a new scan is from the paper copy, then there might have been a change in the ink colors over time. If the new scan is from the negative then there's a difference between that color and what was printed.

You claim that "humans are hardwired to recognize nudity." Is that really true or is it a hypthosis? How was this tested? What is the signal difference between fully nude and partially nude? In the Lenna case, she is not completely nude - how will that confound the results? Does wearing a bikini affect the results? What about gloves? A cummerbund?

I grew up in a white-dominated culture and have more experience with white skin. I've noticed that it's easier for me to identify white skin than black skin. This suggests that recognition has a strong learned component. In those tests, how was the influence of that learned behavior disentangled?

Is the 'hardwired' recognition due specifically to nudity or is it to the transgression of cultural norms? That is, some cultures de-emphasize nudity as being something other than just a person without clothes. This is not generally true of US culture. I can conjecture that there is a hard-wired system to see if a person is following cultural norms, so in the US, nudity would stick out more than in cultures where casual nudity is more common.

Now that I think about it, any hardwired signal like this should be easy to test. Have an array of, say, 10x10 photographs, where one is nude and the others are wearing appropriately skin-tone clothes (fully dressed, partially dressed, etc). Then time how long it takes to find the nude person. This test can be done across multiple cultures pretty easily, so long as nude images are tolerated.

This is similar to the studies I've read about done on facial expressions, to show that some are very cross-cultural and thus likely more hard-wired, while others are not and thus more likely to be learned. For example, as your baseline reference, use a similar 10x10 grid but where one person is frowning while the others have a neutral face, and time how long it takes to find the frowning person.

Since it sounds quite simple to carry out, I figure it's been done, so if that's the sort of work you're referring to, can you kindly point it out? A Google search gets bogged down with references to algorithm for detecting nudity in images.
I sorta learn Angularjs, well went through a few tutorials on Angular for a company. Turned out that company is now doing emberjs and I have to learn emberjs.

I have to say EmberData is not production ready. It's modularity is more monolithic compare to Angularjs. There's a lot of moving parts that can break (in term of using emblem, brunch, handlebar, etc...). And the community is much smaller, less books, less people that talks about ember/tutorial etc...

Angularjs, it seems much better but the scoping can be a hassle.

I feel like angularjs is winning right now in term of hype, community, resources (books, blogs, etc..), and overall I feel like angular got it right and more ready (cause emberdata ain't ready).

On the plus side, ember got a cute mascot and angular got nothing...

Although this is just my initial reaction and it can change over time. Hopefully Ember will get better but if I have a side project I would chose angularjs over emberjs right now. Unless ember changed for the better.

edit:
direct injection is pretty awesome in angular btw.
A NSFW warning would be extremely appropriate, even if we are in the middle of a long weekend in the US.
How many fresh CS grads have a strong command of database performance or concurrency?
I've been developing on AngularJS for a while now, and have been constantly checking Ember's development. I happen to like a lot of stuff in Ember and meant to use it in production. I mean, I really want to use it!

However, it took forever to reach this state. It was always beta, rc or some other non-production version, in rapid development with API changes and stuff. While this is great news that it's finally a stable release, It seems that Ember Data is in a new round of development with alpha status. It feels like some of it will never be production ready.

Angular is far from perfect, I hate it's guts most of the time, but it has been stable enough to build stuff on top of. That's the number 1 advantage of Angular over Ember.
Researchers decided to use a picture from a playboy, a magazine that thinks chicks nude are kinda all they are good for (come off it if you seriously think they don't)and we all think it's ok and want to continue it in the comments.

Yes, it's history, like rape and pillaging. Yes things of old are cool cause they happened ages ago. But get over it.

Nothing against Lenna, cause she was in the industry, but the fact anyone thinks it's cool to bring a playboy into a place of research offends me to the point of boredom.
>One question for you: If you knew your employers finances (Semco gives all staff a 2 week course on understanding the books), and could see that if you didn't take a pay cut now, you would lose your job in 3 months as the company would go bankrupt, would you vote for a pay decrease or say fuck it, I'm keeping my salary the same and damn the consequences?

Really depends. If I felt the company would take a long time or have a low probability of pivoting and recovering, I would probably vote myself the highest salary I could and ride it down/start looking for another job. I assume quite a few others would feel the same way.

Then don't do stupid stuff. This is what pisses me off about Obama's policy regarding stuff like this, and deciding to protect the people doing the wrong stuff, and prosecuting the people who expose them instead.

I don't know if it's because he's corrupt, or because he actually thinks he's taking the right decision in "protecting the troops/spy agents/whatever", but ultimately the decision is a bad one, as it encourages that sort of behavior.

Americans (no, not just the American government) think their actions of aggression have no consequence and that there's no blowback.

> "Paul Waldman lays out a list of significant U.S. military actions over the past 50 years, and it adds up to 15 separate episodes, ranging from full-scale wars (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) to smaller incursions (Grenada, Haiti, Panama). For those of you who are math challenged, this means we've launched a significant overseas assault every 40 months since 1963"

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/08/how-rest-world...

When you're such a hostile nation, do you really expect no blowback, no retaliation whatsoever? If nations as a whole can't win against US, and can't take their vengeance for their destroyed lives and murdered families, individuals will, one way or another. And no, it won't matter if they murder civilians, too, because that's pretty much US' policy overseas, too. So in their minds, fair is fair.

Americans need to take a long hard look at what they're doing overseas, and find the root of the rapidly increasing anti-Americanism, and hatred towards US. The government is lying its own population that it's protecting it against the terrorists, when all they're doing is creating more and more of them [1], with each nation they (illegally) attack (the government thinks that if it's "only" using drones instead of troops on the ground, that's somehow fine), and with each innocent life taken.

As long as that's US' policy overseas, you should expect nothing less than increasing hatred towards Americans, worse international relationships, and more retaliations.

Ember doc as of last week was base on RC3 or something while I was using RC7. Wtf. I followed the tutorial with RC3 and some emberdata version that was included in the tutorial. Switch to RC7 everything break. The error response was gibberish, had to stack trace it, to find out I need to switch emberdata to the newest version.

I don't get why people keep on saying AngularJS doc is bad.

Maybe I'm weird but I've found Ember JS to be horrible and AngularJS to be very good.
Trigger warnings are important. A rape survivor may have braced themselves for a textual story on rape, but have been completely unprepared for the images.
So there is at least one scientific paper (image processing) out there which references Playboy (I wonder if Google Scholar has a citation index for this?)
Not every feature is about the NSA nor every upgrade is a "PR move", this is a standard feature that Amazon also offers, and keeping law enforcement out isn't its main objective although it would make things a bit difficult for them since a warrant would be necessary to get the keys as a court order won't do, but if you are so inclined no one is preventing you from encrypting your stuff before uploading.
Warning absolutely NSFW ( rape photos ...)
Detail of the content emerged from Major General Antonio Taguba, the former army officer who conducted an inquiry into the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq.

Allegations of rape and abuse were included in his 2004 report but the fact there were photographs was never revealed. He later confirmed their existence in an interview with the Daily Telegraph in May 2009.

The London newspaper further noted “graphic nature of some of the images may explain the US President Obama’s attempts to block the release of an estimated 2,000 photographs from prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan despite an earlier promise to allow them to be published.”

Maj. Gen. Taguba, who retired in January 2007, said he supported the President’s decision, adding: “These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency.

“The mere description of these pictures is horrendous enough, take my word for it.”

[...]

The leaked Public Affairs Guidance put the 101st media team into a "passive posture" — withholding information where possible. It conceals presence of both child victims, and describes the rape victim, who had just turned 14, as "a young woman".

... So, that's why we can't take even their word for it. The English language is pretty powerful, expressive, and descriptive, but when people intend to use it to disguise the true nature of something, they can.

I'd just add: if the people involved in both the crime and the coverup (which is all the way up to the Command in Chiefs !) don't get life sentences, our justice system has totally lost all shred of whatever hint of credibility or authority they still clung to. The DoJ must start locking up their fed buddies now or our country is going to have a bleak future. Also, free Bradley Manning and bring Snowden home! Support our whistle-blowers.
Resign, if you can. This seems to me an organization with a toxic ecosystem that's neither healthy for you or your co-workers.

It's ridiculous that the strategy team isn't aware of these shenanigans and that tells me, the structure of the organization is hopelessly broken (besides the manager they don't want to get rid of).

In my experience, management isn't the sort of thing that's easy to fix or, IMO, worth fixing in the longer run. If you're not a founder/investor or in other way have a horse in this race, you literally have no incentive (besides immediate salary) to waste precious time off your life in a hierarchy that isn't going anywhere and is utterly clueless.

Resigning may give you better options later on than getting fired. It's going to be tough depending on how well you can function on reserves, but if I were you, I would be tiding up my resume immediately and sending out feelers elsewhere.

It's a big ocean out there.
before taxes.

Taxes in europe are very situation specific (married/single, mortgage, car/bus/work-from-home, public-health insurance, pension, unemployment). I guess this is also country specific inside the EU. For example, in Finland, we do not have progressive tax (or so I am made to believe).

Service sector workers are most likely casual (ie not permanent part or full time) and thus their minimum wage is AUD$20.30/hr [1]

Tipping the scales further against America is that they are also fully covered by the national health insurance system, Medicare.

That said, it's hard to directly compare Australia and the USA - there's just too many variables. You are correct in that food is a little cheaper in the States; not 50% but probably 30% cheaper on average, from experience. Rent, too, is higher in Australia.

All things considered, though, I think it's pretty inarguable that a service sector worker is going to have a higher income and better quality of life in Australia. That's a consequence of deliberate economic policy. It's not without its negatives, of course - service hours in Australia are much less than in the USA, and certainly a factor in that is the higher cost of staff. For example, there is not a single 24-hour supermarket in Sydney!

Based on my experience in Italy - with my former employer we did some work with public administrations - my idea would be to start with cash-strapped local administrations and the most forward-looking of their suppliers.

These administrations basically have all the same needs, but many of them are served by small suppliers that always have to reinvent the wheel with some half-cooked proprietary solution.

If there was a well-designed, free open source GPL solution that already coverered 80% of the requirements, that could give a competitive advantage to those who based their offer on that solution. They would then compete only on service and customization.

As I see it, the problem would be mostly to kickstart the development of that GPL platform - no for-profit company could do that, it would be against their interest. But if a big and committed enough community started it, then it could create a positive feedback loop that could be very difficult to stop. IMHO this could be a field where the GPL could give its best (I'm not pasdaran of the GPL, and released my own little open source contributions as MIT).
