No but people were suggesting that if they're writing their own VM, they might as well design a better programming language to use on it.
Aargh, another smug and not-helpful discussion of these things. The relevant tweets:

“IMO accusing someone of “misogyny” over some low-grade sexism means you owe another apology.” —Pax Dickinson, September 9, 2013

“’misogyny’ is ‘hatred of women’. It is not misogyny to tell a sexist joke, or to fail to take a woman seriously, or to enjoy boobies.” — Pax Dickinson, September 9, 2013

“Tech managers spend as much time worrying about how to hire talented female developers as they do worrying about how to hire a unicorn.” — Pax Dickinson, May 14, 2012

The author seems to deliberately choose the most offensive reading possible in a few cases; for example in response to the second quote above she writes "Sexist jokes, not taking women seriously and making an app to surreptitiously stare at my “boobies” all fall squarely within that definition."

Now, the tweet didn't say "taking women seriously", it said "take a woman seriously"--a seemingly minor difference but one that allows for the situation where a woman (as opposed to a man, a parrot, or a 59 Chevy) makes a claim (such as "The sky is green) and is dismissed. It is easily read as suggesting that not taking a particular woman making a particular statement for any reason whatsoever is not misogyny. The rewritten phrase which the author condemns, however, is different in content--it implies a state of not taking women as a group seriously, because they're women.

While I don't disagree with the author, her source material does not support her claim as much as she'd like it to.
Right, but my point is that this device won't work with those 'high current' charging devices (at the high current, it will only will only send the standard amps). Unless they included the logic to test this, which, I suppose, is possible.
Is there any valid reason to run 32-bit systems in 2013?
Actually that doesn't make a difference.

The entire point of the free market is to provide for speculation. People buying and selling goods for real dollars where they have real risk is called 'price discovery.' It incentivizes discovery of information relevant to the market and dissemination of that information to the market via price.

Lets take the example of corn flakes, I'll be a speculator, every day I watch the corn fields, one day I see a fire start on one of a field ostensibly representing half of that year's corn, I buy corn at any price knowing it will go up because the world's supply has just been cut in half. Next week I sell all that corn and take the profit as fruits of my labour.

People who trade Wal-Mart stock will often request satelite images of Wal-Mart parking lots to estimate sales. Just imagine the ingenious ways commodities traders use to discover information about supply and demand.

Farmers are completely free to sell their corn direct to consumers, but most prefer not to because that isn't an efficient or effective way of selling. Don't blame Cargill, blame farmer John down the street who wants the best price for his corn.
In general, home locks aren't to keep people out. They're to keep people honest. For everything else there's insurance.
Re: list styling - you can make the whole list a different colour and also "extract" it with different borders. Consider indenting items more visibly - either more leading space or a more visual left border (e.g. something that looks like [ or { )
The PHP community is moving forward and trying to do things the right way. Checkout http://www.phptherightway.com/

Also checkout the Symfony components and how many large open source PHP projects are using them:

* Symfony Framework

* Drupal

* Laravel

* Silex

* phpBB

* Guzzle

Then there's Composer (which also uses Symfony components) and PHP-FIG. The list goes on.

What you need is more modern PHP developers advocating on boards like HN how good PHP has become, not how much better other ecosystems are than what PHP was five years ago.
Because of that title alone, I won't click.

Yeah, I'm probably being shallow, but I take it as a challenge to my personal illusion that I'm not easily manipulated.
That was probably William Black. His usual point is that the lack of prosecutions is a result of the investigatory system having being gutted. He says that in the S&L scandal, his agency made 10,000 criminal referrals to the DoJ, while in the recent (much larger) crisis they made 0.

According to Black, the common argument that nothing can be prosecuted because it was all (perhaps regrettably) legal is totally wrong; rather, standard investigative procedures were simply not applied because there weren't the investigators to do it, and what you don't investigate you don't find.
The bootstrap markup is actually more semantic than Semantic UI. Classes like large, red, floated, right, circular etc.. are presentational not semantic. If you want to use a framework and keep semantic CSS then look in to using the LESS/SASS version of Bootstrap or Foundation.

Edit: After a more detailed look, the framework is actually really nice (and very comprehensive). The name still doesn't make much sense though.
The LIBOR scandal is rediculous. It's a private entity that can say whatever the hell it wants. The real scandal is that governments decided to put so much trust in a single private entity to "get things right". Or maybe there's a scandal that governments care at all. Why should a government care what the interest rates are?
Dreamliner has USB sockets for charging. I think you can also load media over them, but it might be iPod/iPhone only. (That's lame, but he Dreamliner has the best in-flight entertainment system I've ever seen; I usually shut them off, but they had enough Pink Floyd in the on-demand library for take-off and landing, which was nice.)

After visiting and signing up, I'm still unclear as to how these challenges help me tell my story?

I loved the initial pitch, after that, I was lost.
Should "large" and "red" really be part of the semantic, or should it be up to the CSS to style the element with appropriate size and color ?

Why not show "popular" photos more often, with a little footer at the bottom "picture might not match the saved person", with the rest of the information be accurate.

For me, the fact that it would save more lives would compensate for the lying to people.
I expected something about declarative, generic UI definitions.

I'm not sure I follow. There are folks out there good enough at following recipes that they pretty much can just pick one up and run with it. Similarly, there are recipes that are so poorly done that they couldn't be followed in any reasonable sense.

None of this really addresses the imperative/declarative point, though. If you were to put together a recipe that was nothing but the declarations of all of the interactions that must take place to make the desired food, I'm sure it could be done. At this point, "executing" the program would really just be finding the correct order to make the interactions happen. However, my fundamental challenge is that this program would be no more approachable for other programmers than alternatives. Less so, actually.

As an example, SQL is a wonderful language for describing the data that one wants to get out of a database. It practically provides zero indication for how that fetching is actually done. For that, one creates an execution plan to logic about the process of getting the data.
Here's what this has to do with Fox.

The Fox network has proven themselves to be anti-science, anti-reason and anti-intellectual. In their alternate reality, there is no global warming, there were WMDs in Iraq, and the financial crisis was caused by poor people.

The GitHub story just reinforces the notion that facts and analysis (and spelling) don't matter much in that organization.

This has less to do with left-right political leanings and more to do with reasoning about the world rationally, instead of ideologically.
The book Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace is an astoundingly good illustration of this. He follows characters as they use work, tennis, video entertainment, and even addiction recovery itself as addictions. I feel as if my understanding of addiction and its depths was deepened a great deal. The older I get the more healing from addiction seems like an actual real miracle.
I agree sexist jokes(they are jokes FFS not meant to be taken seriously) and enjoying boobs does not constitute misogyny if that were true all men who ever stared at a woman breasts would be misogynists.

Ignoring people on the other hand is a bit rude and in the gray area.

Sexist jokes and ignoring your co workers is not appropriate for a work environment however.

Staring at breast on the other hand... We're men FFS we can't help it get use to it already.
I don't know why, I haven't looked at the topic in detail. I just suggest comparative advantage because it is generally a good answer as to why two parties mutually agree to some particular economic arrangement.

I don't actually subscribe to collectivist moral theories that declare it somehow wrong when members of different groups are statistically more likely to make different choices. In fact, I believe most of the collectivist theories that do ascribe morality to statistics of this nature are not even well formed.
You are talking about a group of people mostly from places like EFF, Creative Commons, and other wonderful orgs. They do it because they want to make the world better, and because it's the right thing to do. Maybe you are too cynical and jaded to do something like that, but they aren't. Your opinions have zero basis in fact.

There is a difference between the people Google has employed to do the work and the corporate strategy behind the work. I have no doubt that the people you describe are truly passionate and dedicated.

But you don't see Google funding advocacy groups for initiatives that don't have a corresponding corporate benefit. Google's evolving stance on net neutrality is a case in point. An analogy would be a housing development firm supporting advocacy of home loans for the poor.
I was the project lead on this, which involved converting the Feynman Lectures from LaTeX to HTML. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Update: Most of the questions center on cost. I've answered in more detail below, but the short version is simple: no off-the-shelf converter was remotely sufficient for our needs, so we had to write lots of custom software, and writing custom software is hard.
I love Feynman this is much appreciated.
I wish there were HD videos of him lecturing.
"Google directly by performing a man-in-the-middle attack to impersonate Google security certificates."

Which CA did they use to get those certs, they should be obliterated from trust networks.
Well the app was in very bad taste in my opinion. Women have the ability pretty much wholly under their control as to whether people want to take sexy pics of them in public, it is called clothing choice. There is absolutely no restriction on a woman wearing more and looser clothing so that this never happens to them. The exact same thing can be said about makeup and how they style their hair. And if you seriously dress like you do not want attention men will not notice you and not take pictures of your boobs.
Watsi really stands out as a startup that's really doing some good. Let's be honest, most startups you read about aren't really a measurable positive force in the world.

Only in a "first-world" country would be imaginable the complaint, "people in rich countries deciding who gets treatment in poor countries" shameful! Only an idiot would make that judgement.

The PICTURES make it real. Real human beings. It encourages people to give.

I'm no bleeding heart, but more VCs, entrepreneurs, and (especially) people of means should be using more of their vast resources to start and promote more things like Watsi.
Actually, I think we've all misunderstood this: it's "Semantic". Nowhere does it actually claim it's 'semantic' :-)
The bug in question was the interaction between the GPF cryptostick and 4096-bit RSA keys. You could create them, put them on the stick, but trying to verify signatures had a bug. I believe it's fixed

I can confirm the German Privacy Foundation PGP stick does NOT support ECC.

You might talk to the GPF, they are currently working on their next version of their cryptostick, and it's supposed to have encrypted USB storage and the ability to support applets.
Thanks for the quick response. I guess I should have opened issues myself, but I have some irrational fear about using github features.

>something more than color to avoid causing trouble to colorblind people I think it's a good idea.

I think what you have is decent. Bold for numbers. Italics for literals.

Making arrays stand out is tough. Perhaps you could do some zebra striping on arrays. Or use bullets outside of each array value that mimics a list?
Are you talking about pure nicotine or tabaco? I read that pure nicotine (as found in e.g. nicotine gums) is little to non-addictive.
Another vote for JSONView.
Subtitle: reporter tries and tries to remain mean in the face of the Watsis, but finds he just can't do it.

Reading this article was like watching someone try to break into a really secure system. The reporter tried every trick in the book, and none worked. I went back and counted the number of different avenues along which he tried to attack, and there were no less than 11: Watsi's office, Chase's language, neocolonialism, race, the focus on patient care, Silicon Valley, California idealism, Watsi's investors, how real the connection is between donor and patient, why they don't fund patients in the US, and the realism of Chase's dreams. The dude is like a cynicism machine.

What's interesting about this guy though is that he's not unique in this respect. He merely represents the default/lazy reporter m.o. taken to such an extreme that it becomes a caricature. Controversy generates page views, and it's really easy to create. In his case I'm sure this is not an act, but an instance of someone's personality being naturally well suited to the work he's doing. But those of you who might one day have to deal with the press might want to keep this article in mind as an example.
Exactly. And that's why we have those disclosure laws, to make it against the law to take advantage of the fact that a buyer didn't think to ask a particular question.

You should be able to buy a stock without having to ask the seller "Hey, did you just get a heads up from the CEO that this is going to tank?"
Seems a bit harsh to me. Yeah, the inconsistent formatting and spelling looks silly, but it isn't all that terrible as an explanation of what Github does that can fit on a single TV screen and will make sense to average people who don't know anything about software development or how source control systems work. Note that the OP's corrected versions are several times longer and include other undefined terms that most people wouldn't know.
The whole point of the comic is that even with that known "simple pattern," you still get higher entropy than a normal password.

Obviously a random 64 character string would beat either of them, but if you're expecting a human to memorize a password, correct horse battery staple is clearly preferable.
It sounds like you're living on a different planet. Watsi allows people who are dying to raise money for treatment that will save their lives, which they otherwise couldn't afford. It's a direct intervention - high impact giving. Few charities have such direct impact.
I have reported the "try" pronunciation because that's the way I have learnt them, and also because that's how Sedgewick's book explicitly uses, but I guess there are alternatives :-)

Anyway, you just got right the point that I was trying to make, a trie is definitely not a general purpouse data structure, but for the specific case (limited number of elements, many common prefixes etc) it performs very well.
As for the point of returning the original object, it suffices to store the original object in end-word nodes. I didn't do that in this code because it would have added unnecessary code, since the problem was really just membership and prefixes.

In the specific case, hashtable wouldn't have worked, since it's not sorted and it doesn't solve the original problem.
Watsi is simply another avenue to accomplish goals - just because you personally find them "quite creepy and saddening" reflects more upon yourself than Watsi. It's remarkable that you find Watsi "pathetic" simply because you disagree with their means.

I am a homosexual. I donate to the Salvation Army on occasion. The Salvation Army is known for condemning homosexuals along with a litany of other things I truly disagree with. However, having been to Harbor Light/Acres of Hope in Detroit and seeing that they are willing to provide shelter and food to those in need allows me to support them, in some way. The concept of "this isn't ideal - I want NOTHING to do with it" is simplistic and doesn't reflect real-world situations.

I have found that torch-bearing zealotry with regards to ideals only works in the abstract world.
Why do you recommend not assigning meaning to your spouse?

I think the Yogi is eventually one with it. He doesn't try any of the methods you offered. Controlling it, embracing it, or rejecting it. He just let's it be. And in that way he becomes free from it.
Many religions/philosophies claim lack of compassion comes from lack of knowing. In that regard, if putting pictures and stories and whatnot on this site gets people more knowledge of poor people's plight, then it can invoke compassion that wouldn't have occurred from just looking at a Unicef box. From a clean engineer point of view it seems stupid to have another company when we already have charities, but another company simply means more people and more PR and more stories getting out there to potential donors, so I don't think it is particularly harmful.
They now removed from google.pt.
someone in the comments here said that zebra stripes are a bad practice and linked to some resources about that, so guess zebra stripes won't do (I'm also using them for objects, so they won't stand out as lists but as collections of things together with objects)

someone pointed out on an issue that empty lists and empty objects can't be differentiated, so a solution that handles both would be cool.

question: why the github fear? :)
It will be a while before Detroit makes a 'Mainstream' recoverey but I think it will happen within most HN'ers liftimes.
Yes, I used that. It's what the ceiling() method in the binary tree in the article does, it looks for the prefix. Still, it's slower :-)
One word for you: METAFILTER.
It's more like "with the same effort you could save thousands of starfish, just not the ones right in front of you" than "what difference can you make". Which is certainly something worth considering.
I donated through Watsi for the first time yesterday. A few hours later, I received an email saying that the patient I had funded had raised all the money she needed to get her medical care.

That was a pretty great feeling. I certainly won't miss the $20 I gave, and I got to see how they would make a concrete difference for someone who didn't get as lucky as I in the humanity lottery.

If my memory serves me right, this is the first time I've ever given to a charity (I've donated to Wikileaks when they had server cost issues, that's the only other instance I remember - having been a student for most of my adult life so far, I never really had the disposable income for donations). When people approach me on the street to give money for their organization X, I find it extremely invasive and have no concrete desire to give. How do I know my money is actually going to serve a real purpose?

I love how transparent Watsi is, and how I can trust my donation to have a real meaning.I really hope they're around for a long, long time.
That depends on the router and configuration. There's a flaw in WPS that makes it possible to quickly crack a router that has it enabled, even if it's using WPA/WPA2.
Funny story about Michael Dell - He was a system builder, and my dad owned a computer store that sold supplies to builders. So, Michael Dell came in, he was just about 18 years old or something, just a kid. My dad taught him how to build a computer, and Dell, he wanted to build his own power supplies. My dad told him he was crazy, especially since power supplies are so cheap, they come with the cases you bought anyway. Years later, I tried to convince my dad that mail order was the way to go, but he grumbled about having to refund people for a full 30 days after sale and how it would ruin his cashflow. That business finally went under. Then he started again, and in 1999 I show him that he could sell 2x the amount of computers if he sold on the internet. Again, same grumbling about cash flows. That business went under. Now look at Dell.

The concept is not well demonstrated due to a lack of demo and vague wording throughout. When the critique focuses on grammar and presentation, that in itself should be a strong hint that more is needed for this to be a viable concept.

In addition, the grammar is fairly critical to making a good impression - especially when creating a service that claims it will help you impress employers.
Unless you have solid proof that male programmers are more machist than male surgeons, male lawyers or male financial experts, all fields that have seen a major influx of women in the past decades, we are in agreement that that is definitely not the thing that keeps women away from becoming programmers.

I am not saying nothing bad in that respect ever happened to a woman in the tech industry, I am saying that the tech industry is not an example of a hostile place to women that prevents them to be successful or accepted.

On meth: remember in the US this is a legally prescribed medication, and effectively indistinguishable from other amphetamines such as the Adderall mixture. There are plenty of professionals using amphetamines. The difference is probably that they're not smoking it for a rush, but using it to gain a long mental advantage. They're certainly very functional.

On heroin: Opiates are far less harmful than smoking, as long as you don't overdose (which is often caused by improper labeling or mixing with other drugs). You'd be surprised how many professionals are using opiates (such as time-release oxycodone) daily. Again, the difference is in using it for the mental advantage, not IV'ing it to get a rush and high.

It's just that in general, you're not going to have such people confess their usage due to negative social stigma. Thus the only "addicts" you see, are the ones that couldn't hold a job, couldn't get a supply (it's generally easier to buy heroin than proper opiate pills), and so on.
since when is a trie a "basic" data structure!?
