> macros are good; using them is good;

Unless your problem doesn't absolutely need them. It's considered bad style to use them when not absolutely necessary because they are much harder to reason about.

Macros can be dangerous in the 'give a man a hammer, everything looks like a nail' way. Like when some Python people went mental over meta classes using them everywhere they weren't needed.

I love macros (in lisp) but you shouldn't need to use them that much. They aren't always good.

No it's a rhetorical question, turn it into one with an answer and you'd have rebutted the argument.

You might also note that the answer to your question is that they don't. It is a problem applicable at scale - and we do terrible things to single neurons all the time in the name of science.
Anyone actually received theirs? I ordered and then upgraded to their DevKit Program, when the emails when out about that. The article showed a picture of a pretty production looking device.
Any protocol that rides in UDP and that will reply to an unsolicited n byte packet with a >n byte response. (But if the amplification factor is close to 1, then you might as well have your botnet just attack the target directly.)

Devices that speak SNMP and use "public" for their community could be used in an amplification attack. I don't know what the amplification factor would be, though, and I imagine there are loads more Internet-facing DNS and NTP servers than Internet-facing SNMP agents configured with a "public" community...

Thanks, saved me the trouble ;-)
Thanks for the link, those were some good thoughts on the topic. However, I disagree with Stallman. (probably because I make a living from selling something that he might call a 'proprietary extensions')

I think the problem I have with the practice of selling exceptions is that it gives more rights to the owner. I feel that open source licenses should give equal rights to everyone. Dual licenses undermine that equality. I understand that people want to stay in control of their software, but for me the words 'free' and 'open' somehow imply 'equal rights for everyone'.
IIRC they just ship Apache, so just follow the normal instructions for enabling perfect forward secrecy on Apache.
>> Douchebag culture and black culture are radically different.

You're talking about a bunch of white guys creating a rap site and telling me that they're not trying to channel black culture. If the stylings and bravado at RapGenius weren't related to culture from rap/hip-hop I'd be very surprised.

In the past in the UK we used to have "Wigger" culture [0] and it actually was fairly similar... I don't think this anger has anything to do with being a douchebag. I've met people that dressed and spoke weirdly that have been perfectly nice people. I think that people recognise the style as douchebag because it's uncomfortable for them to see white people "acting black".

>Of course most people who code, if they make any money at all, make a modest living.

The median software developer in the US makes $85,000/year. I guess you could call this modest, but I wouldn't. It's 50% more than median US household makes.

>If you want power, and I've said this many times -- rather than learn to code -- first learn to run a server. That's real power.

I'm really struggling with this one. That would seem to make you less rich and powerful than a programmer.
If you make a superior, closed-source derivative and users switch to it (or new users choose it instead), the proportion of people in the world who have the ability to modify the software they're using is smaller because of you. That is a reduction in software freedom.

I'm perfectly okay with this. The abysmal UX of desktop linux is proof that profit motive is necessary to drive the development of high-quality end user software when that development is difficult and/or not sexy.

But the only assumption required is that someone uses your product instead of the free alternative. He might have higher quality software, but he does have less software freedom.

Hi HN, I'm a long time hacker who's always wanted to give inventing a try, despite not having an engineering background.

What are my best bets for experimenting from my computer?

They seem very expensive, but Would I need something like Hyperworks, Autodesk, or Wolfram?

I'm noticing some interesting open source projects here:

Yep, if you talk another 100 minutes, you pay $40 that month instead of $30. I combine it with having gvoice ring my landline when I'm at home, and the landline is $3/mo unlimited voip via an Ooma box.
good. now you know how everyone else thinks of you using compilers.

Can we all agree that each project needs to use a set of utility functions and move on?
The site is mostly OK. It just needs to properly test for the BEAST vulnerability (ideally it would check for a 1 byte record, but a whitelist of user agents known to implement 1/n-1 record splitting would suffice in the interim), instead of assuming anyone with TLSv1.0 is vulnerable. And it should rate TLSv1.0 (with record splitting) as "Improvable" rather than "Bad".

But yes, being faced with a huge "Your SSL client is Bad" banner when visiting from up-to-date Firefox is FUD.

Financially not so great for Capcom, but the GameCube version was far superior to the PS2 port, so as a gamer who considers Resident Evil 4 to be one of the finest single player action games of all time, I'm glad they went out on the GC first and ported later rather than having the PS2 version be a "least common denominator" regulator during initial development because most games that went that route just used shitty low-res PS2-friendly textures across the board.

Humans can distinguish a lot more than that. See: http://clarkvision.com/imagedetail/eye-resolution.html.

His calculation gives 530 ppi at 20 inches.

Explanation: "The eye is not a single frame snapshot camera. It is more like a video stream. The eye moves rapidly in small angular amounts and continually updates the image in one's brain to "paint" the detail. We also have two eyes, and our brains combine the signals to increase the resolution further. We also typically move our eyes around the scene to gather more information. Because of these factors, the eye plus brain assembles a higher resolution image than possible with the number of photoreceptors in the retina."
It's pretty funny to see one person claim dominion and authority over another person's inner state. We have as much proof that his memories are false as he might that they are true. The only position one can rightfully claim in this situation is agnostic skepticism. There is no certainty that his memories are false.

After all, the primary form of evidence for any given memory is the verbal recounting of detailed information. Without language, there aren't many ways to externalize a memory. Whether one is describing the experience of a memory, or reciting a coached, scripted tale ...if all the facts are correct what hope is there of disproving a dyed-in-the-wool memory?

Case in point: The drunkest I ever got was during a drinking game in college. I was black-out drunk. My memories are truncated about halfway through act one, and the next thing I honestly remember is waking up to the stench of my own vomit covered bed in my dorm room, but such an adventure it was for my roommates, and such a bardic tale it was for them to recount, over and over again, ad nauseum, that now, I too, can recite the tale, moment by moment from when I blacked out until I woke up. But, to the outsider, my recall seems accurate, and is vigorously affirmed by my roommates, and based on my ability to tell the story, a listener has no honest means of determining whether I was too drunk to remember or not.

So, while I buy into the mechanisms for how OP's claims to memories could be false in that he is perhaps only remembering the plot of the story, and not the experience itself, I'm still open to believing OP's claim to certain vivid memories.

I don't think childhood amnesia is a bottomless black pit from which nothing ever returns. Very obviously, certain aspects of learning must survive, and I think the keystones of our emotional development are indelible. Early traumatic experiences stay with people for very long periods of time. Being bullied, humiliation, loss of a pet. Those are foundational learning experiences. The detail of the bulk of our day-to-day experiences may get lost, but set pieces, scenes that perfectly encapsulate a profound learning experience are different from the tangential recall of banal routine. I think animals are wired to retain certain types of experiences, even from very young ages.

The phenomenon of memory is not necessarily constrained by hard statistical numbers. At least that is my opinion.

I'd offer up similar evidence of my own experiences, although I'm sure they'd be readily dismissed as subjective and unsubstantiated.
Structure: Beyond the picnic-table crisis
From a programmer's perspective they don't produce stuff like we do, they tend to not be as technical or smart, they just tell people to do their jobs ect.

That being said my boss is a non-technical manager who does a great job of making sure, internally, we are all communicating when we should be (but for her we just wouldn't know what each other are doing for the most part). She brings to our attention work that falls through the cracks. She makes sure we have the resources we need, mobile devices to test on, laptops when we need them, the latest and greatest software tools; photoshop, zendesk, salesforce, browserstack, ect.

She facilitates hiring new team members or even create new positions if we as a team express a need. This is not fun by the way she has to interview and bring in people constantly, which 95% of the time we end up rejecting.

Honestly she is there to support us and champions us every chance she gets. Our client support is far better having a manager directing our team, which translates to value for the company.

Granted I'm sure not all managers work in that way.

As someone who was considering Black Lotus as a potential service for DDOS protection, they had a number of failures during this whole episode that make it hard to take them quite seriously.

First, and most importantly, they suffered many hours of downtime to many sites hosted on their service, including their own web page, and still to this day have not tweeted or given any public statement about the incident. A lot of Googling got me some responses to customers who complained in private with weak justification about it being their upstream provider's problem and not theirs. The fact that they now estimate that it was 28GBit/s in traffic makes me even less trusting of their service, given that much larger DDOSes are flying around.

If anyone has any other services that are competitive, other than Cloudflare, I'd be interested in hearing about them out of curiosity. It seems there should be more than one company that can do this well.
I use T-Mobile and am quite happy with it; I pay $30 a month for basically everything I need and no contract.

It is worth noting, however, that T-Mobile has some serious problems. There are large swaths of this country where T-Mobile simply doesn't have service. For instance, last time I drove from Denver to Chicago I lost reception 1 hour into the trip and got it back a few hours before I arrived. There was perhaps one town where I had service during the drive. I thought that this couldn't possibly be right, but I stopped by a T-Mobile store and confirmed that this is the case. I thought that mobile providers worked to ensure that your phone would work at least when you are on an interstate, but not with T-Mobile.

Also, unlimited Internet doesn't really mean unlimited Internet in practice. They throttle so heavily after I hit my 5 GB cap that they might as well have cut off the data plan. Programs stopped working as the requests would time out and the app would assume I had no connectivity.

The most effective way for coffee shops/cafes to discourage people working for long periods without driving that business away altogether is to not provide any outlets! A cafe I like to work at takes that approach and it seems to do well for them. Most of their customers are there for coffee/food and conversation. I am mostly an anomaly for doing work there.
Shorting is absolutely open to abuse, especially naked shorting (i.e. you sell the stock without buying it first). Google the CEO of Overstock.com. He had a lot to say about naked shorts being abused. Regular shorts aren't abused as much because the company's dividends have to be paid to the owner by the borrower (i.e. the short) this makes the varying cost of holding a short on a good company high. I also never understood why people lend their stock to shorts. You're just helping them put downward preassure on a position that you're long.
Rap is the story telling medium of Hip Hop. Hip Hop is a style of music that can encompass everything from RnB to Soul to even some Electronic Music. Rap is Hip Hop that has a specific emphasis on lyricism, meaning, and narrative. All Rap has elements of Hip Hop, but all Hip Hop does not have elements of Rap. Obviously this is all subjective to a certain degree.

To answer your question, Jay-Z's MCHG is probably more Hip Hop than Rap, while old school Kanye is mos(t) def(initely) Rap. However, unless you plan on getting into conversations like this in the future I really wouldn't worry about the difference.
I 100% disagree with you. How is having even more conditions in the where clause helpful? It makes it very easy to accidentally cross join (Oops, I forgot to actually join that table because I have 40 lines in my where clause).

Also, I believe that in SQL Server, the old (ANSI 89) style of joining (joining in the where clause) was deprecated and isn't optimized anymore so you'll get crap performance because all of the tables are actually cross joined before the filtering happens. The explicit join forces relationships to be accounted for first which can help keep the amount of memory needed down.

One last thing, how long does it take to adapt a new standard? The explicit join has been the standard since 1992.

New York's population was steady from 1950-1970 before dropping about 10% between 1970 and 1980. Considering that the US population increased by about 50% between 1950 and 1980, I'd consider that a rather significant decrease.
The Administrative Office of the US Courts and the Federal Judicial Center collect and publish some statistics, but they're pretty basic. For example, they collect "case type" as a single field with a single value. Most cases have more than one kind of claim, so this is incredibly under-inclusive. Also there aren't codes for lots of kinds of cases.

>who is going to do maintenance tasks?

Believe it or not there are people who like doing the maintenance tasks.

>How do you keep people from just working on the fun things?

Why would you?

>Why would you expect an developer to have any insight into future market conditions?

I wouldnt. Although, if they are familiar with a product and its users they probably have as good of an idea as say, random account manager.

> What happens when a customer says "I need this feature" and the account manager comes back and says "guys we need this feature" and no one wants to implement it?

In my example the cluster formed around a developer. A cluster could just as easily form around a sales guy, an exec, the guy who makes sure the vending machine is always full.

The customer says I need feature x, the sales guy starts building a team while doing whatever work he can- taking requirements, etc;

It is the job of the bosses to build a good HR process and
provide leadership and vision. If they are good at what they do and respected, when they say, "now we will move in this direction", the new ideas will start to gravitate in that direction. If not, there has to be a process to get execs who can do that.

Heirarchy is something that has been firmly established in human culture for a long time. New ideas about how to organize humans are emerging and old ones are being revisited.

Having said that, the Gore company makes products for use by industry and has had a nontraditional organization for the last 50 years.

In the U.S. most non-hierarchical businesses are small local coops in the form of bakeries, coffee shops, etc- people experimenting. But there's no reason it couldnt work for a company that sells software or information.

As much as the world needs ditch diggers there are people who need jobs digging ditches. You dont have to force them to do it.
