The problem is that "setting that to your own preference" always leads to code that fits on your screen nicely but wraps on someone else's, or that's aligned for you but not for others, and so on. In any multi-person project it's just a latent source of irritation and conflict. Why bother, when any modern editor can DTRT by letting you add or remove indentation with a single key even though it's multiple spaces?
It seems at the moment there's no way to have a DB server available when running tests. Is that correct? Until that happens, I don't imagine WP tests will be able to run.
PyWin32 - How to Monitor the Print Queue
What you say makes sense. Now that I think of it, most of the pain that has been described to me can be attributed to the misguided notion of a professor that _everything_ must run on apple machines.

What was also notable is that most of the problems seemed to appear on the admin side of things (running the "mac servers"), while for the users, meaning the scientists programming and crunching on the machines, everything worked just fine. That of course added to the admin's frustration, as nobody could understand why they were complaining about the perfectly fine Apple-centric setup.

So Mac for the scientist and Linux for the server might quite likely produce happyness for everyone.

That's probably a natural question for the curious 12 yr olds of reddit to be asking. I wouldn't take offense.
I have sympathy for everyone who is harassed online, I do not think anyone is actually being singled out for harassment because of who or what they are. If people really wanted to fix it they need to admit that this fact is true first, because treating this as a sexism problem is disingenuous.
I 100% agree on the value of the grandparent post, which is why I commented when I felt his point was being diluted.

I would also agree that Bitcoin has a good chance as a commodity (I just don't have the right risk factors to invest) the only frustrating thing about Bitcoin is so many people talking about how Bitcoin needs to become a major currency.

The only thing negative I would say about your post is that you have to be really careful talking about inflation and deflation. Inflation is often put in a negative light because it discourages saving, but deflation discourages spending, which is much more dangerous. Which is why I don't have any faith that Bitcoin itself will become a currency, the deflationary problem is built in and part of the core.
You could always emigrate to a country that celebrates their constitution and whose president publicly states that people have a right to speak out. In Russia, to mark the 20th anniversary of the Consitution of the Russian Federation, they are freeing many convicted prisoners including some of those who were arrested at political protests during the last election. As one politician said, those who were called to the protest and misguidedly agreed but are now apologetic will be freed, but those who organized the violence and incited others to join in will not. And the president of Russia, addressing a meeting of leaders of the various regions and republics in the Federation as well as church, mosque and synagogue leaders, made it a point to state that Russian, unlike the EU and the IMF, will not demand Ukraine to take any particular internal actions in return for financial help and is only offering it to join in a customs union as a partner.

The above is all paraphrased from a couple of news reports in Russian that I watched last week.

There is a well known phenomenon in politics and society of the pendulum swing. Childhood friends who discovered politics in University and hated each other because one was socialist and the other capitalist, find that after 40 years they have EACH reversed their positions and still can't reconcile. Or the USA who used to hold up the Soviet Union as an example of the wrong way to do things and consequently avoided doing things that might appear to be Soviet style. But now that there is no Soviet Union to compare itself to, the USA has copied the worst excesses of Stalin's KGB. Meanwhile, the Russian Federation still holds out the Soviet Union as a standard of comparison -- it is their history after all -- and actively moves away from Soviet style solutions embracing capitalism and individual liberty to a far greater degree than Western countries. While corruption in the USA grows unchallenged, the Russian Federation is in the second decade of a campaign to root it out both high and low.

I hear your pain - I can't live without a REPL, and a stable browser REPL for ClojureScript development is a must.

I personally use Emacs and Austin to hook the browser REPL into nrepl. Here are some sample files that you can take a look at.

Here's a sample project.clj: https://github.com/aamedina/foundation/blob/feature/cljs/pro...

I've become a fan of Stuart Sierra's Reloaded workflow: http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2013/06/04/clojure-workflow-r...

Here's my dev/user.clj

https://github.com/aamedina/foundation/blob/feature/cljs/dev...

Some notes about what I did here: you start the server by running (go), you can quit the CLJS repl easily by typing in :cljs/quit as normal and return to the user namespace and then safely (stop) or (reset), stop will stop the server and reset will refresh all of your Clojure namespaces (useful if you're writing macros in Clojure for use in ClojureScript).

Aside from this, just turn on cljsbuild auto with :optimizations :none, and code recompiles are sub-second.

Hope any of this helps you.
The function is known--they publish how their algorithm works. The problem is that their contest doesn't account for the main problem with their system: its vulnerability to MITM attacks.
>> The anger that motivated the writing of the Cookbook blinded me to the illogical notion that violence can be used to prevent violence.

> The leaders of almost every major revolution eventually reached precisely the opposite conclusion.

> I don't think that has anything to do with something that is inherently illogical.

(I think my editing has preserved the spirit of the letter.) I would say it is deeply illogical. You would have a hard time convincing me that any of those leaders have managed to prevent any amount of violence through the use of violence. I don't see any progress in the erradication of illegal violence, and legal violence is more violent than ever.

The notion is definitelly illogical. What your reasoning shows is that the leaders of almost every major revolution had pride. Pride is inherently illogical.
Been using it for years with no intention of stopping. Me and my friends use it as a way to track all the places we've been to and places we like. So when I'm back in a city I've been to I can look at my history and recall a place I liked and go to it again. Or if someone is going to a place I've traveled to, I create a list of the places I liked and share it with them. I wish it was easier to do these use cases in the app. Mining my own history and surfacing that content would be very interesting and useful to me, especially if I can share it and have others shared with me. The tips are also far more helpful to me than the foodie-wannabe Yelp reviews for the same venues.
Yeah people having a say in their government - how silly. We should simply let the free market determine policy. See the richest and strongest will decide what our social, economic and foreign policies are and it will be a golden age of serfdom!

Tweak it, doesn't have to be a major change and resubmit with information about what it does that a native app can't in the review notes (tracking sent images).

If that doesn't work maybe add basic image editing options (cropping etc.) or think about whether there are useful offline features you could add.

Note that I don't have much experience with rejections but that is what I would do.
The gaming world is a cesspit of maladjusted, comically aggressive, emotionally (and maybe actually) adolescent males who have a deep fear and distrust of women.

The thing is, if you forget about the abusiveness towards women in online games (most people aren't even aware it happens), this is still the prevailing societal view of 'gamers.' Losers who don't get any girls. That's why many don't like to call themselves 'gamers,' or admit to a new group of people that video games are one of their hobbies.
Austin said the same thing a while back.

Gold is very similar to Bitcoins because production is hard. The government can't create it any cheaper than anyone else. This rarity is what helps stabilize its ability to hold value.

Gold coins are not the same, and are similar to IOUs as you mention. But gold does not base its value off the fact that at one point it was used as a currency.

>>It is completely transparent, to me, that these laws and these tactics, are tools of oppression. They are not "to keep us safe", and never were. They are designed to make dissent as dangerous as possible through every means they can get away with.

It is disheartening that you realized this only after getting involved in activism. I think that in itself is a more significant indication of how hopeless the situation in America is. It underlines the main reason why serious social change is so difficult.

Put it simply: the government exists to protect the interests of corporations and wealthy people. Dissent of any kind challenges the status quo and therefore must be discouraged and quelled by any means necessary. The rights of "The People" (i.e. the poor) mean jack shit, because The People only exist to make the rich richer. This has been the case since the country's founding.

This is not to say that change is impossible. But, historically, the only time meaningful change has happened is when there was overwhelming social pressure. We aren't talking about petty (and for the most part meaningless) activism here and there. We're talking about social dissent of such magnitude that it threatens to become a revolution. Only in such times has the establishment allowed any sort of concession.
> Those unhappy with the changes can choose to stay or leave.

That's harsh. I am arguing that fantasying the success of this payscale doesn't mean the company is not responsible for the welfare of the employees as the company scales and grows.
I agree. Google does great engineering, but their "developer-as-an-end-user" to their engineering really suffers. Take a look at Android documentation vs. iOS documentation if you want an example. I really wish Google would hire some great engineers who actually LOVE technical writing and understand developer experience to create their APIs.

You, as a man, have had more privileges and had to put up with less shit from strangers and society, than women. There's really no getting around that. Guys have to deal with gender bullshit too (expectations of wealth, car, muscles .etc), but as a rule, guys have more privilege than women.

Doubtful, USD is used elsewhere because it is the currency of the largest trader in the world. Especially considering the fact that most USD isn't physical, how would you trust digital dollars without the accounting system in place today?

Gold also has no intrinsic value. Sure it has some industrial applications, but everyone is getting around fine with very small amounts of it. But no one doubts that gold has value.

Market value is determined by demand, not who backs it.
It's rare that I've ever read such unadulterated bullshit on Hacker News.

That is a completely different thing from how a fiat currency works. Controlled money supplies add and remove money via direct or indirect controls to provide value to society as a whole.
that's a lie.
> Most jobs do not experience constant annual productivity gains, but everyone wants a raise at the end of the year and feels like shit when they don't get it.

End-of-the-year raises can happen in a deflationary economy too, that's not really associated with the inflation / deflation debate. The amount of the raise can be less in nominal dollars but the employee gets the same real purchasing power.

> Most merchants what to see their prices go up, it signals to them that there is demand for their goods.

Price doesn't signal that there is demand for their goods, demand signals that there is demand. Price is a reflection of demand / supply, not the other way around.

> it makes them feel good that they can increase their prices.

But don't they, similarly, feel bad when they see everybody elses' prices also increase? They know that their paycheck gets less and less at other stores.

I think it's hard to draw a connection between feelings and economics.

> It allows for short term saving, like for a downpayment on a house, but discourages unhealthy hoarding over long periods of time. Again, win/win.

We live in a time of unprecedented levels of debt, both personal and national. I'd argue that such debt isn't all that healthy for the long-term growth of an economy.

Ultimately I think this level of efficiency would probably destroy most developers who used it (especially games).
There's probably more utility in implementing ptrace. One could then write a program that spawns off a ptrace'd child process and intercepts all syscalls and translates them from Linux syscalls to your OS's syscalls.

As a bonus, ptrace would allow you to host a slightly modified copy of your kernel in userspace, similar to User-Mode Linux. (Or you could modify a copy of User-Mode Linux to run on top of your kernel, as a heavier weight version of the syscall translation layer mentioned above.)

Other advantages of implementing ptrace include some debugging and sandboxing tools. Note, however, that if sandboxing a multithreaded process, if the sandbox intercepts a syscall where some of the arguments aren't in CPU regisetrs, the sandbox needs to pause all of the other threads in the sandboxed process, otherwise they may modify "safe" syscall arguments to be "unsafe" syscall arguments between when the sandbox inspects them and when the kernel actually processes them.
> Once you acknowledge mainstream economic thought (or at least mainstream academic economic thought) might actually be a useful field of study, you've pretty much defeated the point of running Bitcoin with a non-central bank model.

Perhaps the specific non-central bank model used by Bitcoin, but there could be alternatives to a traditional central bank that might be used in an alternative currency that wouldn't have the same problem, so I wouldn't rush to say that that acknowledgement rules out non-central bank models generally.
How is yanking a child's arm not less violent than getting run over by a bus?

Being against violence means wanting to minimize the amount of violence in the world, no? It's a strange strawman to say that being against violence means never taking any forceful action whatsoever - that just leads to violent outcomes through inaction.
I think you are trying to say that he made at least 2x what you were making. I would be very surprised to find an intern making more than half of what the person they are interning under makes and normally I'd expect it to be much less.

Typically you aren't working at an internship because you have a proven track record of skills in a certain area. That is kind of the point of doing an internship. And having a proven track record is something employers are willing to pay a lot more money for.
Would you agree that there's a difference in severity between telling a man "I'm going to come to your house and rape you, you stupid faggot" and telling a woman "I'm going to come to your house and rape you, you stupid whore"? The latter has much more weight, as at least 1 in 5 women in America will be raped in their lifetime. (edit: 1 in 6 is more accurate http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assau...) It's not an unrealistic threat, and it's much more likely to bring up trauma.
Better shaving system? Tristan isn't offering anything new with Bevel or his umbrella co., egomaniacally named Walker Brands. I cannot believe that this guy got $2.4M in funding without proving the concept first. In fact, he barely had a deck when he was fundraising. So ridic. He plays the race card and is mostly fluff. He has no prior experience as a founder, no ecommerce experience, no consumer especially personal care/grooming experience. It's fucked up that someone like him got funding only because of his social connections and because he plays the race card - there are definitely other more qualified founders getting dissed who have better business models, proof of concept, relevant experience, etc.

A slight but significant difference would be that the currency would not create credit or debt when it was created. People will either mine the currency, which is trading a service for the currency, or buy it on an exchange, which is trading one store of value for another. So the economy would be value-based instead of debt-based.

With a commodity like gold, when its value increases, people mine more of it because people want more. This increased supply reduces its value.

To me, the ideal currency is one in which you can get paid for performing a service, and 20 years later, the payment is still worth exactly the cost of that service. A long-term store of value, a way of remembering the value of everything.
Based on my companies performance metrics from our Overstock offerings, they are willing to try anything at this point to stop the bleeding.

And to quote Edwin Land: Marketing is what you do when you have an inferior product.

LOL. It doesn't matter if you have the most awesome product ever invented, if nobody knows you have it, and your homepage is buried on page 17 of the Google results, beneath 42 competitors with similar products.

Marketing is business. And that's tough for me to say, being an engineer by trade. But since launching a startup, I've come to realize the simple, plain, truth... marketing matters. A lot.

>>> Coolidge did the same thing as all prior presidents in economic recessions, and it always worked for them.

Pure ignorance of the first (and second, and third...) financial crisis of the US.

Going back to the first US Banking Crisis: the Panic of 1819... then President Monroe set the standard on how financial crisis would be handled. (Its a complicated story because the US was so different back then... there was the Federally-chartered "Bank of the US", among other things)

To solve the Panic of 1819, President Monroe would nullify certain debts, to ease recovery. Sound familiar?? State-level banks then increased the monetary supply, and Congress passed more Tariffs to discourage exports/imports.

The one thing that is constant in this country's 200 year history, is that the Federalists and the Non-Federalists have been arguing the cause and effect of government since the start. Federalists blame the "free market" of 1816 for causing the panic of 1819 (ie: It was inevitable due to Wartime debt from 1812 and a crisis in Europe). On the other hand, the Non-Federalists blame the centralized "Bank of the US" for setting off the panic.

---------------------

The one thing that is clear to me, is that the proud history of the US is for this debate to spin up every 20 years as the US hobbles from crisis to crisis. The President will do the same thing and step in and sponsor new laws... he'll also forgive debts, the monetary supply will expand in some way, and Congress will pass something irrelevant to the discussion.
