Yes, god forbid you'd stop your production chain just because you found an internal consistency error that could potentially wreak havoc with your data. Oh, wait, that's exactly what you should be doing. If you write C/C++ without asserts, you are driving fast and drunk without a seat belt.

Luckily it's a free world so you are more than welcome to take libzmq, strip out all the asserts, and launch your new improved fork! Why even debate this? Please remember us when you get rich and famous.
Why Your Startup Should Be Open Source – by Peer.fm
Git and Mercurial make CI harder.
CI is an important part of the discipline needed to make Agile work.
(CI is an important part of making anything work).
You can still do CI with Git and Mercurial. (If I can, anyone can).
But you need to fight the tools (a little bit).
Fortunately, Git is super-flexible, and you can make it do (almost) anything.
They're slowly educating the population and making them wealthy, not slowly lowering the reproduction rate. The reproduction rate is low due to the one child policy. I imagine when the policy is dropped it may spike.
"at least when you're a software dev and presumably paid enough to actually have free time"

...or you know, don't have family obligations.

I do agree to some extent with what you're saying, but as others have stated, it should be one of many factors taken into consideration, and it depends on the culture the company is trying to foster.

I personally have looked at github profiles of people I'm interviewing, if they chose to share it with me.
Maybe it's that this is really hardly a startup -- it's a solid company that just happens to have a web presence as its main outlet to customers?
http://01.its-csongor.com - I don't like something about this

http://02.its-csongor.com - does not fit to screen sometimes. Try resizing browser to understand what I'm talking about (I am using Firefox).

http://its-csongor.com - hard to figure out what's going on.

http://04.its-csongor.com - this one looks best IMHO still can be improved. I would like to see contents in the beginning not in the end.
Question, is it possible to print something like chain where nothing holds up the other parts?
Most credit unions in Quebec are part of the Desjardins group. They don't seem especially widespread outside of Quebec.

Quickly glancing at the ownership of 9 of the 10 largest credit unions outside of Quebec, 8 of the 9 were unrelated to Desjardins. The 4th largest (Meridian Credit of Ontario) was the sole exception. I couldn't find info on the 9th largest, Cambrian Credit of Manitoba.
Nope, it'll probably stay then.
Alright, hear me out on this one: SnapchatSnapchat.

Our company will make you a Snapchat clone (put it on the app store, advertise it, the full 9 yards), but after 30 days it just disappears. I need an idea for the revenue model.
Being repentant helps if you're trying to get a lesser sentence. Pleading guilty and being proud of it ... probably less so.
Capitalizing the 'K' was, though. Set off my OCD:)
>Or is it that you just can't sign up for Google Play Music through the iOS app?

This. This isn't allowed, unless Google opted to use in-app purchase to set up the subscription and give Apple a 30% cut.
A 2.3% growth in population for 1400 years would lead to a population of around 4.6*10^23 people. This has nothing to do with reality - the rate of population growth is decreasing and will continue to decrease as countries get more prosperous. The increase in economic output taking place right now goes both towards making people richer and supporting the increase in population. If population levels off, even at some ridiculous level like 50 billion (which it won't), there is absolutely no argument for 2.3% growth extrapolated anywhere near that amount of time into the future without some sort of change in economic paradigm.

The math is fine, the assumptions that undergird that math are terrible. You can see that in a lot of his blog posts. There's another [0] that argues that economic exploitation of space doesn't make sense because it is impractical to ship large numbers of people offworld - which is true, and supported by mathematics and physics, but barely touches (if at all) on things like space-based solar power generation and asteroid mining, neither of which depends on shipping large numbers of people offworld, as colonization presumably does.

It's worth noting that the tech press posted about the filing of the IPO, but not the IPO itself.

I find it amusing that since Google already had an established ad-based 'services' market before foraying into the mobile space with Android, they invest significant effort into making apps for iOS.

Whereas, since Apple has always been in the 'products' market, they don't (have to) invest any effort into the Android ecosystem. I think the first time I was ever exposed to adverts was with iTunes Radio.
The sentence has to be understood in context of Hammond's criminal record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Hammond#Arrests_and_crim....

Hammond has a history of taking political protest over the line to breaking into things, destroying property, etc.

Also important to remember is the fact that Anonymous didn't just leak the e-mails, but stole a bunch of credit card numbers and made $700k worth of charges.

To be fair, I think the sentence is too long, but more because I have a philosophical problem with the sentencing guidelines and how it punishes repeat offenders and not because I think Hammond was particularly singled out.
The reality is that when a company offers you less then what you are asking for - they are devaluing your worth (currently and in the future).
After working in freelance for roughly a decade and not running a small agency, I've learned that in order to become successful, you have to strive for your ideal clients. When clients are less-ideal, that is when issues arise - whether it's the cost factor, attitude, adding large edits to original project scope...etc.
This should be the same when looking for a job. During an interview, you should be interviewing the company just like they are interviewing you. When it's a right fit for both sides, expectations will be the site, value will be the same (if not higher), and the attitude/work environment will be superior.

The #1 reason why people don't succeed - whether it's freelance, running a company, or being an employee is that they under-value themselves and their work.
It's not true. I checked http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all and it would only take 332 pages to print it all out. And to understand ZeroMQ you only need to read the first few pages and skim the rest. That is enough to see that ZeroMQ is a serious attempt at letting you use the same design patterns that you would use with Message Queuing over top of plain sockets, i.e. there is zero Message Queue system behind the curtain. 0MQ is useful because these design patterns make it easier to build correct and powerful applications that leverage network connectivity.

I have built applications that use both AMQP messaging with RabbitMQ and ZeroMQ for the parts where an MQ broker was not necessary or where it would impact performance.

The arguments swirling around ZeroMQ and sockets are the same ones that swirl around threading and higher abstractions. We now know that it is hard to write correct programs using threading unless you refrain from using locks and either have all state immutable or you use lock-free access techniques. There are many libraries (even for Android and iOS) that encapsulate threading with a task-oriented layer that communicates between tasks/threads using queues.

Sometimes you have to make a decision NOT to do something that you CAN do, because of the greater good of the work.
You're being facetious, but you have to agree that even thought there is strict sentencing in the EU, America goes beyond the pale.

We have higher incarceration rates than China, and even with their massive population we have more people in prison than China does. [1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rat...) We are roughly tied with North Korea for highest % of population in prison by country.

Indeed. I've been using Ctrl-\ as my Ctrl-a in screen (and occasionally tmux). Turns out that I never use that keystroke in real life.
Not a duplicate submission, but rather a story from a different source about the same news of the day.

While I wouldn't call mainstream reporting a whole lot better than the tech press, their biases are certainly different. Unfortunately, the goals are the same.

CNN wants to pull in as many visitors/viewers as possible by reporting skewed and sensationalist versions of all of the horrible, embarrassing, and disastrous things that happen to everyone, everywhere. That this means filtering out a whole lot of interesting but non-controversial things and regurgitating news, lies, and exaggerations constantly really doesn't matter.

The tech press wants to pull in as many visitors/viewers as possible by reporting skewed and sensationalist versions of all the hype, rumors, and scandals that happen to anyone under 25 in stereotypical tech hubs. That this means filtering out a whole lot of interesting but non-controversial things and regurgitating news, lies, and exaggerations constantly really doesn't matter.

It's easy to make fun of the other guy when you're doing exactly the same thing in a different field. Personally, I find it efficient to largely ignore both of them.
It's nice to see fellow Seattleites growing a real business here. The more success stories happen in Seattle, the more confident the new founders and investors will be. Giving up is too easy when you think everyone else already did.

On that note, I encourage everyone with startup aspirations to hang out in one of the coworking spaces or incubators, like HUB or SURF (which I'm posting from).
Well, maybe they haven't heard of it. I read HN daily and this is the first time I've heard of it. Even if they have, its not exactly in the same league as Twitter and Facebook (speaking solely in terms of popularity and brand recognition.)
It is relatively effective. Most people don't pirate things because it's illegal. Especially corporations are less likely to pirate software because of the serious legal consequences.
Grooveshark Executive Murdered In St. Petersburg, Florida
No. They are being criticized because they are trying to persuade that it's good for bosses to demand that people work instead of paying attention to their families in order to sell tools that allow people to work anywhere to corporations.
If you combine fixed-point arithmetics, tiled memory access patterns, asm.js, and dynamic image processing pipeline compilation (the way that, for example, VirtualDub did it), you'll probably discover that the "slow single-threaded language" probably isn't slow at all for image processing tasks. (And WebCL is still on the horizon.)
San Francisco becomes Gotham City for Batkid
Seriously? I don't do much encryption, but which .NET framework lib still uses Sha-1?

Of course, this is one of those cases where I'd imagine that MS's approach to protecting backwards compat will mean nothing but a warning thrown when you reference the old lib, and any new libraries sport a completely different API making them unsuitable as a drop-in replacement. MS protects compatibility religiously while simultaneously applying a Not Invented Here mentality to code that actually was Invented Here.
How to Make MOOCs Work For You
My theory on this has been for a while. Not just for coverage, but for the lack of "Older people problems" startups. It's not just they don't get coverage, it is a miracle they are being founded in the first place.

I think it's because young people try to solve (most of the times) young people's problems (music, dating, photos, food delivery, code and technology tools, movies, social activity, even taxi riding, most people with kids buy a van and move to the suburbs). Young people also tend to have a slightly bit more free time, and are more likely to share things they use and like. And I don't mean only teens, I also include professional, smart, rich, educated 25 years old who work in a startup, or own a company, or sold one, or had stocks in one and now are millionaires, and even become VCs, mentoring and helping other startups.

There are billions of dollars on the table that "Old people" companies are taking. Look at all the boring enterprise Java jobs out there, these people are selling stuff. to other companies you haven't heard of, solving business problems you haven't encountered and perhaps never will if you are a 25 years old hacker, because you will never want to go work for these companies.

Older people work there, and even if they have a great idea for a startup they are much less likely to do it.

1) health insurance - prime reason. older people tend to have kids, or in the making. Unless they have some savings, they can't risk losing their health insurance.

2) family, yes, there are successful founders with kids, but it is much easier to start a company when you don't have any. how many people with families move to SF for 3 months for YC and leave their kids and spouse at hime?

3) age bias. VCs look at older people like this - if you had what it takes, why did you get a boring Java job for 10 years till you decided to jump into the water?

4) Enterprise sales is hard. it takes sometimes 2 years of a sales cycle to close a deal. but when you do it can be a 7 figure deal easily.

5) What the article said about young tech writers, I agree
Honestly, I think this project was to show what could be done all inside the browser. This is a very cool idea, and is extremely impressive for being done in a weekend. Don't be that guy--maybe you should find some passion.
That's the default lowest level of oAuth access and it's just read-only.
The Seattle dig is just plain lazy. Aside from the obvious established tech names, there are a ton of smaller tech firms, startups, etc.. and even some immensely successful recent IPOs with solid tech-rag coverage. :-P
The credit card did it for me. I think there's a difference between minimalist and just not packing things because you have the money to just buy whatever you need later. Not to mention the ability to return home to your job as a professor.
Wow. nodestreams.com is great. It's really helpful to see the results of different chained combinations instantly. Thanks for making this John.
For cultural reasons, this is a recurring pattern in Chinese society. IIR my Chinese history lessons, it was usually followed by costly border wars and massive building campaigns to thin out the herd and quell domestic unrest caused by too many men milling about with nothing to do and nobody to do it with.
DCVS is good because you can have tracked local changes. Sometimes you are doing a larger change to the software that takes a while and may require some thought, without stacking up hundreds of minor changes sitting in the source folder uncomitted that get applied simultaneously (a la CVS and SVN) and merges happen into that working folder, with no reversability.

You could make the same argument all the way down to requiring that every single line changed is committed at the instant of writing (otherwise they are hiding their code!).

Without tools like Git and Mercurial, people are still doing exactly the same behaviour, just it isn't being source controlled.
As if IQ is the only or the most important factor that can dictate whether someone will have a happy and prosperous life.

Who has he threatened? Hadn't heard of that.
Ask HN: How do you invest?
We invest a lot of time in learning new skills and building new things. But what do hackers do for financial investments?

I know we all want our next product to make it big. How do we stay financially responsible in the long run?

Do you seek out a financial advisor? Stash cash in savings accounts? Buy GOOG and AMZN stocks? Save money for a house? Eat ramen?
I'm cool with their change if they also auto upgrade all WinXP users.
The Windows Server 2003 hotfix addresses being able to receive and utilize an SHA-2 certificate, so unless you're suggesting the vast majority of webservers are WS2003, I'm guessing not. As for Windows XP, SP3 supports it without a hotfix, and SP3 has been out for 5 years, and it's currently the only supported branch of XP.

Really the problem is just that the security industry moves very slowly, and when it does it lurches forward unpredictably because of the sudden release of a viable attack. As Microsoft suggests, a preimage attack could debilitate online security and would force a much more haphazard (and risky) move to new certificates. I expect >99% of web-browsing computers support SHA-2 these days, so there's no reason to allow the CA industry to continue limping along.

So, ironically, it's Microsoft that will force the industry to move forward for once.
It is actually not only asking questions. It is about asking open questions, i.e. questions that cannot be answered by yes, no, but require the person to tell a story. At the beginning it it is even more frightening, but once you force yourself to do this as an exercise it might change your life.
This exact same thing happened to me. What I did was went to the authenticator app and memorized the 6 digit number ahead of time. Then I logged in quickly (with my password already copied from 1Password) and put in the number from memory.

Worked for me!
The offense is in attributing it to intrinsic differences between men and women. If you can supply some information that your sister's baby-monitoring experience was due to natural differences, vs., for example, conditioning by advertising, then that would be helpful.
JavaScript and Perl, too.

So we should feel good about it, or feel that we're lucky, or not try to fight back against this system? I know you probably think you're “not saying that”, but if you're not, why did you feel the need to post that?
Milestones and how Code Climate helped us reach them
Totally incorrect. Its generally accepted that legality and morality are not coextensive, but that's different than legality and morality being orthogonal. Legality and morality are closely correlated, in that societies tend to make illegal actions they consider immoral. Thus, while it's possible for something to be illegal that society does not consider immoral, it's generally not the case.
Why, specifically, is it a piece of garbage?
If you're a 'Go-Getter', you've probably already recognized that your boss's lack of planning will impede your fast-track career.

How are you planning to unseat him or find a new boss who can help fulfill your ambitions?
Microsoft is a toxic workplace.
I have a relevant anecdote.

Back when I visited my home country they had this very bizarre mobile plan where the first 10 seconds of all cell phone calls were free. So what you would see is people hanging up after 10 seconds, recalling the person they were speaking to, continuing the conversation , and then doing it all over again. It was hilarious. It got even crazier when some companies reduced the time limit to 5 seconds.
There are bosses who will do this just so they can have some sense of power over you, never mind whether they actually need the results or not. Pray you never have one of those.
Perhaps that is how you saw it. However you are dramatically wrong. ZeroMQ v4 does full end-to-end encryption, supports protocols like TIPC, and (you knew this but choose to forget it for reasons I never understood) entirely changes how we write multithreaded applications.

The only plausible reason you could disregard the magic of using the same semantics for secure internet messaging and inter-thread messaging is that you don't write applications.
I don’t, I guess my expectations were wrong, not very clear though. So what are the features available without a subscription? Just music upload from my computer? I was under the impression that some kind of radio/streaming was included in the free account.
If something is not tangible it doesn't mean it can have great value to society. I'm sure you use a mobile phone, this is similar but exists everywhere( where there is internet access ) and enables you to communicate with anyone using that service.
but I'm not sure about one organisation having the power to unilaterally dictate to everyone and expect people to listen to them.

Isn't revving SHA kind of a triviality compared to all the other things Microsoft and other big guys use their market position to force through?

Max Butler got 13 years for his role in Carders Market:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Butler

"Arrested in 2007, Butler was accused of operating Carders Market, a forum where cyber criminals bought and sold sensitive data such as credit card numbers. After pleading guilty to two counts of wire fraud from stealing nearly 2 million credit card numbers and spending $86 million in fraudulent purchases, Butler was sentenced to 13 years in prison, which is the longest sentence ever given for hacking charges. After prison, he will also face 5 years of supervised release and is ordered to pay $27.5 million in restitution to his victims.[5][22]"

Also Albert Gonzales the leader of Shadowcrew actually plea bargained DOWN to a 20 year sentence:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Gonzalez

"On March 25, 2010, U.S. District Judge Patti Saris sentenced Gonzalez to 20 years in prison for hacking into and stealing information from TJX, Office Max, the Dave & Busters restaurant chain, Barnes & Noble and a string of other companies.[27] The next day, U.S. District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock sentenced him to 20 years in connection with the Heartland Payment Systems case. The sentences were ordered to run concurrently, meaning that Gonzalez will serve a total of 20 years for both cases.[28] Gonzalez was also ordered to forfeit more than $1.65 million, a condominium in Miami, a blue 2006 BMW 330i automobile, IBM and Toshiba laptop computers, a Glock 27 firearm, a Nokia cell phone, a Tiffany diamond ring and three Rolex watches.[29]"

Hector “Sabu” Monsegur is facing 124 years if he's convicted on all charges, but with the current string of 10+ year sentences, chances are, his will be in that range as well I would assume. His sentencing was delayed for a third time until January 2014.

Previous to those, I think the longest sentence was to Mitnick who got 5 years. Even Kevin Poulsen got a 3 year sentence. Even the Lulsec hackers all got sentences under 3 years. Clearly, the feds are uping the ante on computer crime and using long sentences as deterrents for future hackers who think they will get light sentences.
“Just significant” results found for decades in psychology—but have gotten worse
I don't really buy that. If you think that the collection and insecure storage of confidential information is a problem, you don't "fix" the problem by releasing all of that confidential information to WikiLeaks. And you certainly don't make over a million dollars in fraudulent credit card transactions.

The moral justification is really just: (1) Stratfor does work for the powers that be; (2) the powers that be are bad; therefore (3) hacking Stratfor hurts bad people.
Perhaps they should rebrand it, "Office Eternity".
