Dont say anything stupid. Seriously!

I know of a number of people who were so excited to get there first meeting that they screwed it up by saying or doing something stupid.

Other things, dont over extend yourself.

If the project is going to be too big rethink if you should take it on. If you are seen struggling with the work, missing deadlines they are a customer lost for life. A client will come back to you in the future if you make the excuse `we cannot take this piece on due to other work` etc (a white lie never killed anyone (well hopefully it didnt)).

Also dont look to keen and offer the world. It is easy to look too needy for the work. The best thing to do is write down on a piece of paper:

- your hourly wage and do not shift from this. Clients will try to get the best deal possible by possibly not telling the truth about previous prices

- The services you offer.

- Your working process. By this i mean how you gather the information to complete the work. Some companies / clients state they have a particular way they want the data or requirements gathered. Keep to the way you gather the information and state it is the best method for you. It will help you in the long run.
I could understand not wanting to contribute to NSA funding, but it does sound like a vocal minority (?) does believe that tax collection should be as low as possible. Possibly due to a mistaken belief in trickle-down economics (if something yellow-coloured trickles down from the top, it doesn't mean it's gold...), or maybe caused by a belief that increasing disparities between social classes is a desirable goal.

@poorelise - I admit that I'm ignorant of modern figures in programming who are women. What I meant with "wave" is that the famous women programmers that are often mentioned/taught about, cluster around a time period where we can identify a trend.
Mostly psychological and irrational. I don't like the feel of the vapor in my face, it definitely feels and smells off-putting. It's the unseemliness, the (my Wikipedia-level understanding) lack of scientific evidence backing up claims of non-harm. And if you do it in a theater it's distracting.
I have to disagree - this is hardly 'catastrophic'. A troublesome or even traumatic reminder, but a catastrophe? It's a pretty low bar for that word.

Somewhere along the line we got the idea that nothing negative must happen to us, and if it is, it's the worst thing ever. We're not that fragile. It's not a nice experience, but neither is it life-destroying.
Jaywalking is also illegal. Yet people jaywalk all the time...

And from what I've heard the hazard of micro particles emitted when warmed goes like this: fireplace > weed > smoke. However smoking is more addictive and weed has positive substances that decrease risk of cancer.

Best idea is not smoke weed, but ingest it. Avoid cigarrets and never have a real fireplace inside. Just stick a picture of a fireplace and add a heating element behind it.
Shame he didn't learn empathy from Woz - arguably the greatest flaw in his character and possibly the biggest need he had as a human being.

The "Enter URL" box on the front page has "http://example.com" as the hint, but if you type in "http://example.com" it adds a second "http://" to the front, i.e. "http://http://example.com" and then fails to load (the image is a 404).

You have to be sure to OMIT the http:// part for the site to work.

Also, on Chrome, dragging on the image frequently literally drags the image (rather than drawing). When the drawing does work, it happens about 2 inches to the right of where my cursor is actually placed.
The image seems to be missing (404)

I agree. 3D is an "obvious" step up, even if it's imperfect. And even if the vergence/focus issue is both worse and unsolvable by any reasonable technological means, it isn't the end of the world. People will get better at viewing it with experience, and people who have grown up with it will never have difficulty with it.
In the UK there are quite a few electric charging points in public & company car parks, so the car could be fully charged by the time you're ready to drive it home, effectively doubling the range if you don't need to drive it during the day.
AFAIK it's just as bad as smoking tobacco (I'm pretty sure I read that it's similar to smoking several cigarettes). However there are ways to 'take' marijuana which remove the dangers that come with smoking it (vaporising).
Yeah, not sure what that guy is on about. Both prices are lower than the Leaf's nominal price, and I've heard you could get ~$10k worth of tax credits or something with the Leaf. Unfortunately I don't remember the details, but I met a guy who leased a Leaf who told me about all this. He got a pretty sweet deal on the lease too.

I'm using an off-the-shelf ecig, the type that's designed to look like a regular cigarette. I'm loving /r/electronic_cigarette and all the clever mods they've been coming up with.

I have to be honest though, all of the various options are a bit overwhelming!
Reading info is fantastic, I agree. But writing it is a traumatic experience. There are also no converters to info from many of the common markdown derivatives. You cannot even reliably generate it from in-source Emacs Lisp comments which doubles the maintenance effort for most elisp code.

This is also less about the tools themselves but the mind-share they have. FOSS projects need a steady flow of new contributors to replace old ones and to get new steam. Switching to tools that are more likely to be known by a younger generation of programmers makes this easier. This applies to the git migration as well.
I think you might've missed the parent's main point, which (I think) was that it's much more difficult to do large studies on cannabis than on tobacco.
It seams to me that if you give somebody Cascalog and native Java or any other Hadoop query language you will quickly see why macros are great.

Lets be honest nobody want to write hadoop jobs directly with Java. Clojure has a query language built in that feels natural and has the full power of the language.

Other people build things like Hive or Pig that come as comply different languages.
OK, that's new to me. They really do that? One RCD for several breakers? How is the panel wired - how do you pick which breakers are on which RCD?

That must cause so many nuisance trips - doesn't seem like a good idea (kinda like the ring circuit that to this day causes trouble).

In the US you can have an RCD (called a GFCI here) in the panel, but it feeds a single branch.

We don't segregate, we simply offer the all-girls class as an alternative. We still have girls in our regular class and they are very chill. I'm not saying we have an issue with boys acting out, I'm saying that when we get that occasional kid who makes things uncomfortable, some girls get visibly put off by it. I train all my instructors on how to deal with inappropriate comments and to let me know about them, so my decision to provide girls with a more comfortable environment is rooted in the observation that 100% of the inappropriate comments we've had to deal with come from a male student.

When any student, regardless of gender, is uncomfortable in a class, they will pay less attention and perform noticeably poorer.
What sort of value do you think the typical American taxpayer gets out of their taxes as contrasted with somebody in one of the wealthier European countries?
I think it is mainly because nursing isn't a 'career' kind of a job. You can make $50K an year, but 10 years down the lane, now what?

While your engineering friend is aiming to sell his start up for some millions of dollars, your job doesn't even have the scope to even attempt anything like that even if you wanted to.
It's also (mostly) solvable with active lenses and eye-tracking. What you can do is infer distance from vergence and then adjust the effective focal distance of the screen.

I don't know how cumbersome the lenses would have to be, or how insanely fast the system would need to operate, but it's at least possible in theory.
If that's really how they do that - one RCD for a bunch of circuits then I have to retract my words, a ground fault would cause a whole bunch of circuits to lose power.

It seems crazy to me, but if they do that, then they do that.
The sad synergy between the two...
I believe the reason he's going for a PID is the ability to reach the target temperature without overshooting. A PID would gradually reduce the power to the heating element as the temperature get closer to the target.

That said, the adjustable bimetallic solution is certain worth a try, it might just work good enough and be far cheaper and much more reliable in the long run.
> That's a shame. The "smoke" from e-cigarettes is just vapour

Saying "just vapor" means nothing here; consider "just chlorine vapor," for instance. Obviously the substance that has been vaporized is the important part. The most common e-cigarette vapor, propylene glycol, does have very low toxicity. But you still might not want to inhale it constantly -- no longitudinal, long-term study has been performed that simulates the e-cigarette use of PG and shows beyond doubt that it is safe.

> and no more harmful to the people around the user than steam from a kettle.

Nicotine is a known carcinogen, and e-cigarette vapor contains nicotine. Tea kettles do not release vaporized nicotine. The e-cigarette vapor may have a low concentration of nicotine after being exhaled, but again, nobody has extensively studied the results of breathing second-hand e-cigarette vapor over a long time period. Your assertion is completely unsupported by evidence.

> I'm harming nobody but myself with it.

You cannot back that up with evidence. This is your guess, and it could be wrong.

Now, I happen to think that it is _likely_ that e-cigarettes will be shown to be much less dangerous than tobacco cigarettes. But my opinion, just like yours, is meaningless since it's not backed up by evidence.
None of the drawing or notation features seem to be working (Win 7 x64, Chrome 32.0.1700.76 m).
True, but not all studies need to be in a country where pot is forbidden. Pretty sure there is at least one country that has a large thriving population of pot smokers.
It's worth noting that this appears to only affect NHS England.
The BMW I8 looks really nice. I think it comes out this year (Spring 2014) and costs more than a Tesla Roadster.

It's one of those ideas that never die - services to comment on sites have been around for more than a decade - I've seen a few during the dotcom boom. The problem always is lack of critical mass - the service user base is tiny compared to the vast amount of pages on the web. The chance of me finding and another user commenting on the same web page is tiny even if you have millions of users.

Consider making something sites can embed and make available to all their users instantly. For starters be THE service for a few sites instead of one of a dozen services for the whole internet. Something like a Disqus with drawing.

Also, no excuse in 2014 to use screenshots instead of the actual HTML of the site.
You're obviously a man, but you seem to think yourself the arbiter of what is or is not sexist against women. Why is this?
Sure it belongs in a CRM: "Show some sensitivity when calling this customer, he lost his daughter in a car crash". Now when dealing with the customer, you know to steer general conversation away from children or vehicles, so as not to trigger bad memories. CRMs hold all sorts of notes like this, tucked away where the customer can't see them. It's the 'R' in CRM, after all.

When you snarkily reply to people criticising Google's business model you should probably mention that you work for Google.
No, it doesn't. What would make more sense is showing the calculation. Also it's nitpicky.

If you wanted to use significant figures, it would make more sense to say $28 million or $28.4 million. Going to one significant figure is overkill. Whether you trust the CPI or not, those that made it chose more than one digit for it. Also I feel it's just a coincidence that Woz chose a round 10. I think he chose to make it a round million, but it could easily have been 5 million or 15 million or even something that isn't a multiple of 5 million instead of 10 million, were the circumstances different.
Thanks for the feedback, I was subtituting the http if present. I'll take a look at the dragging thing too.

Fair point, I might have been "spoiled" with growing up in a rather techy environment, my dad worked with PC ever since I can remember. I however think that the schooling system needs to start including computer science subjects and by that I don't just mean how to use Microsoft Word.

Then again the question is, why do females not get hooked on the idea, even when they don't grow up in such a techy environment. Is it really "our" fault or is even "our" job to trying to confince people how great programming is? We've a lot of events especially made for females where we try to excite them for computer science, but so far it didn't add much to the imbalance. So for me it seems (at least here in Switzerland) that we're doing everything possible to get women into programming, but if their interests are somewhere else, what else is there to do? Do we really need to play a blame game?

That's what I meant with "natural" interest. We can't force women to get "hooked" on the idea, they need to get there on their own.
Lucky guy.
Nursing has career path through specialist forms of nursing (intensive care, nurse-prescribers, etc) to management of teams, wards, hospitals, health trusts, etc.

That's what a normal career. Most people don't have the sell-the-company lottery as an option.
not sure what coreos is but iirr docker is a manager for LXC - and FreeBSD has had good Jail support for eons. There are two approaches for jails (the LXC equivalent for BSD) - ezjail which I heartily recommend and warden from PCbsd which is more GUI orientated.

I have happily runs dozens of "virtual" instances on one machine and people regularly do hundreds. it's robust secure and low cost in resources.
Aaah the things you learn on hacker news. I grew up in Australia, and had a trip in the UK about 12 months ago on a broken dishwasher that took out the whole house. I'd brought an electrician in (good guy but poor English) and he said it was fine. I'd kept an open curiosity about why it had behaved that way.
It doesn't sound like you've worked in a call centre that services the general public. Stuff like this is workaday complaints from people who are either a bit crazy or just bored and looking for a fight.
The idea that the core language is not what drives adoption is clear. There are a ton of other things that go into this kind of thing.

Tooling, Library, Schooling, existing base of people that know the language, CPU architecture, Memory constraints and so on. And of course all the nontechnical things like marketing.

So saying that there is not as much lisp as c++ code is not a argument that c++ is a better language.
Nah, not really. "Real" worth would be thr integral of price from current holdings to zero, not the product of holdings and price. Unfortunately that would be impossible to model (depends on future information and on how he sold it), so we just go with the simple upper-bound we have.
That's both useless and inconvenient. Their site even says a doctor might not actually do it, and having the optout so hidden in that way would violate the spirit of not the letter of the Data Protection Act. It's also a huge waste of time and money on the NHS, which is already expensive and overstretched.
Emacs org-mode can do tables - not web based though so may not be what you are looking for.
Inhaling any particulates or vapours which could deposit on your lungs is potentially dangerous.

I was splitting hairs though, because essentially nothing is completely free of danger. I do think it's much much better than smoke.
yes. I thousand times yes.
I'm always seeking for sites like this (anyone any recommendations?).
You should enrich it more with advice, equipment requirements etc etc... (and of course with more hikes :P)

I know, one gets accustomed to the action of smoking. It's very satisfying. I'm also gonna switch to vaping though
Water is not vaporized in e-cigarettes, typically propylene glycol and nicotine are. Thus the emissions are propylene glycol, nicotine, and possibly whatever other impurities were vaporized due to poor manufacturing. Multiple analyses have shown bad things present in various e-cigarette liquids. Perhaps the higher quality liquids are more pure, but who knows?

Given his profile I'm not suprised he's not interested in programming, but the jump to suggesting that the activity itself is inherently boring is hilarious.
Same here in Portugal. In our house, both the branch breaker as well as our main breaker will usually trip if we put too much load.
I started on the same type that you're on. Stop by your local B&M and check out the iTaste variable voltage battery with a dual-coil pro-tank. Also get an e-liquid that's 50/50 between vegetable glycerine (good vapor -- 'clouds') and propylene glycol (throat hit).

That's the best place to start. The mod scene is totally overwhelming. Here's a basic breakdown:

Low ohm - hotter liquid / pull
VG - bigger 'smoke'
PG - throat hit
Higher wattage - fuller flavor / mouth feel
Higher voltage - thicker pull

I'm in the same subreddit -- it's amazing what people come up with.
Thanks for the feedback andr.

I was thinking of it as using it for fast communication with designor to illustrate small points but I would definitely like to explore the social aprt of it (seeing what others commented and os on). Great idea also on the embedding comment.

I went the screenshot way but, if I used html I think the only option would be to code the js as a bookmarklet. It is an interesting option btw.
late to the party, but "magic" is the explanation for a dramatic difference between the expected difficulty and the actual difficulty. For example reading my mind to determine my choice of card should involve neurosurgery, EEG and MRI scans and training corpuses - however a 15 year old with a deck of cards can do it - which clearly is magic.
Yep, none of their fucking business. Keep my personal life out of your DB and your sales pitch.

But OK, I understand how some people could see this as legitimate. However, are we in agreement that it is absolute not acceptable to sell this information to other companies?
The problem is, and you can't see this because you're a delusional addict, is that allowing e-cigs is like legalizing a highly addictive food substance and then allowing McDonald's to make a burger out of it. It might be better for smokers than smoking, but it's still a drug addiction.

And then worse you're blowing that highly addictive substance into the air in a confined place and stinking the place out with a foul chemical smell of 'chocolate' or 'mint' or some other 'pleasant' smell just because you're so addicted you can't even go a couple of hours without your hit.

If you were a normal person, and not a junkie, you'd never smoke those things in public because you'd see how bizarre, odd and selfish thing it is to do.

So no, it's not just 'vapour' and you've got no right to try and convince people otherwise because you are, ultimately, a junkie justifying your addiction.

I'm a junkie too, but at least I admit it.
Wow, that must have been a lot of freaking work. Testing this must be nightmare, if you have on native pointer left the browser could essentially randomly crash.

Pretty cool stuff. I really want to see the performance changes the GC can get.
Interesting. I was also wondering about this; how the kettle knows what the boiling point is, since it cannot just measure temperature, because it would boil out the water in the mountains.

I thought there is electronics which simply detects not only absolute temperature, but also change. Once the temperature stops changing and is around 100 degrees, it will stop.
but if you did that you have the wrong panel for your house

Wrong is relative: here in Portugal we pay a fixed monthly fee that is proportional to the maximum load. Having the "right" panel may cost you more even if you use less electricity, so many people choose to carefully manage their loads instead.
> however that is a terrible reason to discard the language for 'large scale' production use

I think article by `large scale` means something that needs lots of people working on it. I can see how several programming departments might form their own lisp-tribes that can't speak to each other because they disagree over tiny details (or engaged in power play).
> Suggesting that any leakage of tax revenues flowing from the complex corporate structures of digital groups is merely coincidental, the Digital Economy Group says: "Enterprises that employ digital communications models do not organise their business operations differently as a legal or tax matter."

Hell of a coincidence, mate. They're incorporated in Ireland purely by accident, they would never threaten to leave at the slightest mention of "corporate tax increase", and what they really wanted to do all along was to move to the Scandinavian countries. They should all band together and get a stand-up comedy act going.
> I don't think I'd ever go and ask for help from a US cop except in the direst of circumstances

Pretty silly. Most, if not all, cops I've encountered have been decent and helpful human beings.

The primary source of ongoing friction with cops usually has to do with racial tensions in inner cities, especially in LA.

Their being armed doesn't change anything, plenty of everyday non-police citizens walking around armed too. No reason for fear.
