What the hell is going on this weekend with HN? I was okay with the random and slightly out of date ReactOS and TempleOS stories because of their quirkiness, but then the fake rape story and this old post are really making frown. The only thing that's worse is that I'm going to see this all again on Reddit in a few minutes. maybe I should do some work.
Yes lately articles from wikipedia, some old pages, old projects and even photography contests make it to the homepage. And then the problem of duplicates submissions!
Tutorials for fractals, CG, mathematics, demoscene...
Just name the damn company and sooner or later the upper bosses will find out.
I'm a little surprised you don't mention Finland's rather effective solution: banks act as an authentication service, so you can log into to your bank to prove who you are, and the bank then redirects you to the original website. As Finland has only half a dozen or so consumer banks, and virtually everybody had an account with one or more, this works quite nicely.
>> Since the beginning of the year 2013 my department have lost more than 50% of its earnings and keeps losing at an alarming rate. Discussing with my team mates it is obvious what is going wrong: We have an incompetent project manager and lead developer and they are the only ones who seem to not notice that there is even a problem.

The PM and the lead haven't noticed but certainly their boss. Wait and see. I don't think it's you who will be fired.
"It is an international legal phenomenon that is left much to the discretion of host countries."

Yes it is. Every country has this power, and every country uses this power as it wishes. There are plenty of countries that I have no hope whatever of visiting.
It is fairly hilarious how gullible a good chunk of HN is now. If they were really serious about removing the US as a tech and world leader they would start building services in their own country instead of posting bullshit stories and falling all over themselves when Stripe finally comes out in their country.
Why is there an article from 4 months ago on the frontpage?

Agreed. The natural first response is to play politics (not always bad) and escalate via some other back channel, but often times direct confrontation in the right setting is more effective.
This crashed my computer (it's an infinite loop that needs too much memory, apparently), and there's a mistake (the i is not defined).

Turns out that islice doesn't raise an IterationError, it just returns an empty list.

Fixing the problems, it runs in 237 μsec per loop, around 23 times more than the zip version.
I was a bit wrong about that. For some reason I imagined that there would be quite a few args being passed to zip, when in fact there are just the three iterators. It does create a temporary list, but it's so small it's negligible. Using izip wouldn't really change anything.
This is super idealistic. In reality in small/medium companies people are connected and group together, and protect their friends. Most likely the pm is friends with the senior manager.

Fake rape story? How do you know it was fake?
There is something theater of the absurd about forcing large numbers of people with criminal tendencies to spend long periods of time together and then releasing them into society.

The line from the movie Blow comes to mind:

Danbury wasn't a prison. It was a crime school. I went in with a Bachelor of Marijuana. Came out with a Doctorate of Cocaine.
Find a new job, now. You can probably get a raise. Finding a job while you already have one is easier than when unemployed. Posts like the "HN Who is Hiring" can help, although more US-focused.

Decide if you should tell management about these issues (politely) on your way out. I'd be inclined to just leave quietly, though.
I would do that only if/when you've resigned to leaving or being let go. I've seen it turn out both ways - things get cleaned up, and the whistleblower is effectively pushed out. If you end up staying and treated well for raising the alarm, great. If not, you may be let go within days or sounding the alarm - be prepared.
A job is not a marriage. If you start having problems respond by looking for another job. A job that gives you lots of stress or makes you feel bad is not good for your health or well being. And I would normally advise against trying to "fix it" as well. That process itself is always stressful and rarely results in anything except recommendations about how you can change.

The only thing the OP needs to get better at is giving interviews.
You keep using this word: 'capitalism'. I don't think you know what it means.

Haha. I feel very silly now. I was just about to respond with the same thing.

while True:

if not result:

It wouldn't have occurred to me to do this a different way. Isn't this a very basic use of zip()?
Unless those trusted developers are also experts in both, you're back to square one.
Sir David Frost
I am actually fairly sure the (cropped) image that is actually used appeals to women as much as to men. It could be straight from the cover of a fashion magazine.
It's probably just because he got paid to do it.
You know when you are getting old by when you have to start using history a lot to try to remember what the heck you did.
I was laughing until I saw the swears in variable names. Now I'm mad.
I am not an expert in virtualbox, but what is the point of images then..
> You'll be paying those personnel costs either way.

Obviously, but be honest about it. Don't tell me I can get a stake for $9 when I still have to pay taxes plus ~20% on top of the total to pay your employees.

I also hate this busy-body idea that the customers want a say in how much the server is paid to encourage "extra value beyond their purely mechanical function". That leads to annoying servers pestering me every five minutes looking to "add value". I want my servers to be as near to transparent as can possibly be. I didn't come there to talk to them, I came to have a good meal and enjoy the social company who came with me.
Where is free media advocacy by the US while it spies on them? do not news organizations have the right to protect their sources?
Well, that's US-American imperialism for you: declare de-facto jurisdiction over everything, afford rights to nobody. Be that at the US border or at US-run detention facilities outside the US like Guantanamo.
Hi, 'jump' is a great bookmarking system for the bash shell. But you'd only want to bookmark some most used directories.

I made 'bd' out of frustration to use 'cd ../..' all the time from "any" random directory. I can't bookmark all possible places. They are like slightly different tools.

I think it'll be awesome to use both jump and bd in the same system!

Please give 'bd' a try. Once you get used to 'bd', you'll use it frequently without thinking. :)
Is it that much harder to find a job when you turn 35?

I mean, a lot of my older colleagues have had a hard time finding jobs, but most of them are not very passionate about what they do. They want to work right next to their own front door, they don't want to sacrifice any pay or holiday credit, and they prefer not to learn new things and stick to the familiar. (I know of a few exceptions, and I'm not claiming this is true for all >35yo employees)

I wonder: if you keep learning new things, continue to be passionate about your field etc, is it that much harder to find a new job just because you're older?
What's he going to do if he gets laid off? He can either take control or let someone else decide on whether he will continue to have a job or not.
What's interesting is that the screenshots they have showing how to check out the code using SVN has context menu options for Git:

That's what I did, I edited my post above. It's around 23x slower, although I had to use a function invocation for %timeit as well, so it's probably a bit faster in practice.
My understanding is that google cloud storage is not offering disc space. Data goes always trough their interfaces and databases. That would make difference to Amazon's offerings.
When was the last time you heard about a young girl being gang raped and beaten to death and thrown out of a moving bus?

North India: recently
South India: none

When was the last time you heard about a gang rape of young minor?

North India: Recently
South India: Wasn't a gang rape, but the suspect was shot in an encounter and this was many many years back

When was the last time you heard about a pregnant woman being gang raped?

North India: Recently.
South India: Many years back. Suspect issues death sentence.

So, how exactly is it my own biased opinion?
a 512x512 pixel scan of a printed image really isn't ideal source material. Nowadays you definitely want something larger, and to get that in good quality you need the negatives.
I would be very surprised if it weren't. The zip version has the hot path written in C, the other version has it written in Python with a bunch of exception handling/list assignment code, etc. The original method is just zip(iterator, iterator, iterator), which is probably as fast as anything can be.

This has to be one of the first alternatives to a pushd/popd workflow that actually sounds compelling. Kudos.
Well, there is another open source x86 assembly OS called KolibriOS and it was forked from Menuet OS back in 2004.
It's not 64bit, but it does pretty much the same job.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KolibriOS
It's not an implementation detail, the order is guaranteed by the spec.
This is hilarious. Good hilarious. I live in small time small city China. Usually I'd take a taxi to work, and sometimes there are no taxis. So I'd hail down a chap and persuade him to drive to my workplace. This is not disruptive, the future is the past, it is normal life.
well using a directive means you still have to put it everywhere ( in all your views). i'm more used to something like a master template with global menus and a content div. but for that you would need multiple ng-views or something similar, since my menu bars also need to be linked to the context.
For readers not familiar with the background of this post, I should explain that this linguistics blog post links to some Chinese-English glossaries of the punning expressions (often very crude) used to express politically dissident thoughts on the heavily censored microblogging services in China. The "grass-mud horse" is a famous character in a video that was actually publicly released on Chinese-language video-sharing services for a while (because the censors didn't recognize the pun and the political content of the video). The video went viral in China, and now "草泥马" ("grass-mud horse," a pun for "f___ your mother") is a term symbolic of all the puns used on China's microblogging services to express dissent.
Wine depend on too many microsoft components for games, sometimes it's difficult to find the good component on microsoft website. And if microsoft stop giving that component ....
I agree that it will be better if everything was open, but in the case of MenuetOS, I do not think it is so important ... the OS itself is written in assembler, so the mapping between the final result in the binary of the OS, and its source is probably close to 1:1 .
One more for kicks:

n = iter(array).next
[(n(), n(), n()) for _ in xrange(len(array) / 3)]
There is an open source (GPLv2) fork called KolibriOS [1].

If all of you agree, you can write a letter together that points out the problems and toxicity of the situation. Then you all sign the letter in alphabetical order and send it to the CEO of the company.

If that fails, you can resign.
Miranda didn't wipe his hard drive after meeting with Laura Poitras because...?!

It might've been safer to use Retroshare or Bittorent Sync or some other means of encrypted file sharing (with the files encrypted themselves, too). At least the government wouldn't really know what to look for. Miranda travelling with baggage and laptops with him was a huge "red flag" for them, and made him an obvious target.
We are about to launch another war from our military bases in Germany. The fatherland's moral outrage is laughable.
Also, in reality many employees do not have the insight or ability to identify critical issues they think they have.
You can use z, then. You don’t have to bookmark directories to jump to them.
Actually it's a filter, keeping those away from doing business who aren't able to handle little annoyances.
I often hear people complain about (German) bureaucrazy and funding difficulties and they say "I just want to do X". But the bitter truth is: If one isn't able to overcome those barriers, they'll probably won't handle their business at all if they can't manage the many little annoyances that don't have to do with X but will occur while doing business.

At first my answer was meant to be a joke, but the longer I think about it... :)

The good news are: Since you seem to be able to manage those barriers, you're fine and can care about doing X.
What makes you equate Assad and Syria?
I always thought that wikipedia was at its best when people were able to put up a page like that.

Just as the Guinness Book of Records, began to end bar arguments about which was bigger, longer, further, etc and became a way by which people discover fascinating things about the world. Articles like this one here, begin as a reference on something trivial then become a magnificent gateway to some of the most diverse and fascinating things in the world.
From the Discussion section:

Removing all but the mov instruction from future iterations of
the x86 architecture would have many advantages: the instruc-
tion format would be greatly simplified, the expensive decode unit
would become much cheaper, and silicon currently used for com-
plex functional units could be repurposed as even more cache. As
long as someone else implements the compiler.

:D
ASM is retarded, but shrewd marketing. Those people don't know how to code ASM better than a compiler, guaranteed. It's not like the good old days when we all coded in assembly and could optimize by hand. It's fubar. You cannot tell me the time for a single instruction.

SMP is retarded. I can do real-time multicore. I did a flight simulator on 8 cores. Tiny jobs are bad. You must add 1,000,000 numbers to break even and my OS can change tasks 4,000,000 times a second. I certainly have less overhead than you.

SMP makes you look like a clown. Ridiculous. I manually put tasks on other cores and it's way way way better. I am not a monkey.

You do not support GPUs . Your efforts are worthless. Completely worthless without wide GPU support coverage. You are a liar, even putting it for distribution. What, you expect people to use four frames per second?

A lot of deceptively large websites are barely holding on due to the collapse of the ad industry in 2008... never mind them being able to employ people. An attack is the sort of milestone that would encourage them to give up.
There's also some great work going on with cookbooks that should be released soon. https://github.com/emberjs/website/tree/master/source/guides...
I'm glad Clojure has top-level support for this operation... it's quite flexible too, and the presence of partition-all makes it explicit what you should expect if the sequence doesn't evenly partition.

user=> (partition 3 [1 2 3 4 5 6])
((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
user=> (partition 3 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7])
((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
user=> (partition-all 3 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7])
((1 2 3) (4 5 6) (7))
user=> (partition 3 3 (repeat 0) [1 2 3 4 5 6 7])
((1 2 3) (4 5 6) (7 0 0))
This issue comes up from time to time here on Hacker News, which is why I submitted the current story. The policy proposal of a basic income guarantee is interesting because

a) no country has ever tried it, really, so there isn't a real-world experience case to look at yet,

and

b) a remarkable variety of people from otherwise differing points of view have proposed it over the years.

Charles Murray's book In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Welfare State,

http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0844742236

goes into detail about how much a program of guaranteed income for everyone would cost in the United States, and suggests some probable effects that would have on everyone's everyday behavior. I read the book a year or two after it was published.

Murray's own summary of his argument

http://www.irp.wisc.edu/publications/focus/pdfs/foc242a.pdf

and reviews of his book

http://www.aei.org/article/society-and-culture/poverty/in-ou...

http://www.conallboyle.com/BasicIncomeNewEcon/MurrayReview.p...

http://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/region_focu...

http://mises.org/misesreview_detail.aspx?control=296

may inform the discussion here. Big public policy proposals are not easy to discuss, but the big public policy proposal of a guaranteed basic income for all is a response to existing policy of supposedly targeted social welfare programs that are just about equally expensive in the benefits they provide, but much more costly to administer.

As a matter of personal opinion, I am still thinking about whether or not a basic income guarantee is a good idea, but I definitely want to figure out if spending no more in total for social welfare by directly transferring cash to all citizens would simplify administration of welfare programs and allow more individual choice about how to use the money.
If it doesn't already exist someone should make an Iphone and/or android app that will let you lock your phone before you go through customs, and only allow you to unlock it at a specified time and/or place. For instance 5 hours after landing at the location of your booked hotel.

That way you won't be able to divulge information held on your phone, even if you wanted to.
Yet this bad apple sunk one department and then got transferred to a highly profitable one. It sounds to me that he is very well connected or otherwise good at office politics. Taking him on would likely end in defeat. I would suggest to get out of there.
Lifecycle – Wix’ Integrated CI/CD Dashboard
You can listen for the $routeChangeSuccess event from outside of your ng-view. You can attach arbitrary key=> value pairs to your routes to annotate them in ways that are particular to your app.

Hope this helps, let me know if it is unclear.
Yeah, but unlike the hack in the article, the more readable version of that code,

"Thing 1" if some_boolean else "Thing 2"

is also almost twice as fast(775 vs 1340 ns, on my machine).
Probably Approximately Correct
As for the structure, I tried Yeoman but quickly gave up due to learning curve and lack of time. I settled on a simple folder structure with minimal grunt file which uglifies and minifies my code. If minification/uglification wasn't a concern then I would have ditched grunt too. Not because I have issues with these cool tools, but purely because I just don't have time to understand them thoroughly.
AngularJS itself helped fix my jQuery spaghetti wonderfully though.
Sorry I was typing on a mobile device and probably didn't choose the best words to describe my intent. What I meant by "the race card" was taking a situation that has nothing to do with race relations (ie. Temple OS) and turning it into a discussion about race.
I haven't contributed much to the community or the code, but I've been around the chatrooms and keeping up with the story for around a year now. (also been actively using ember on personal and work projects). The community around Ember is amazing and it blows my mind how so many people have been working so passionately on this project. Congratulations to the team. Really well done.
the problem with this expression is that it doesn't "short circuit". Both "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" (in this cases object, but the can be function calls) are evaluated before the "some_boolean" usage.
Your comment is hard for me to interpret. I would normally take it as a given that the culture and male/female dynamic in computer science research is (or at least ought to be) different than the culture in the modelling industry (and especially the nude modelling industry).
If US attacks without UN approval, it will be illegal (US has ratified UN charter) unless US can legally justify it.

Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan were UN sanctioned operations. NATO operation in Kosovo was not.
