the gender ratio in SF is completely fucked.

when i lived in SF women would be completely rude to me when talking to them in a bar or social setting. calling me names to my face, bare sarcasm, thinly beiled insults, back-handed complements... you name it, i experienced it.

that kind of shit just doesn't happen in LA or NY. or vancouver, or texas, or ... anywhere, really. it's a REALLY fucked situation. sorry, single guys in sf.

We used to have that, and it was called HTTP and semantic HTML.
Maybe not. Minimize the peek-a-boo UI and just organize it properly. Hidden UI = design failure and laziness.

Yes.

I'm another story of someone who's good at maths, got excellent grades in University, etc. etc.

During High School I didn't study as hard, and while I knew how to do calculations with Radians, never "understood" them.

One day, while in University, someone explained Radians to me much as this gif does. It took one sentence, and something I'd been working with for years without understanding immediately became clear.

Why don't schools/textbooks offer this? I have no idea. But it's a shame.
IIRC tensors are one of the fundamental prereqs for understanding General Relativity. (Bucketlist topic.)
Calling ThinkPads just a line of laptops is like calling Alan Turing "a computer guy".

At least, that's how it used to be. Lenovo seems intent on messing up IBM's engineering so they can market to the "I want to show off shiny stuff at Starbucks" crowd.
I used the trackpad, but the trackpoint buttons, especially the middle button (for easy scrolling and opening/closing tabs/windows). Is this practical anymore?
Getting Copyright Right for the 21st Century
The regime doesn't respect private property rights (or human ones) consistently, so it's obvious move for an owner and their family to move somewhere that has a more functional legal system and a political class that doesn't demand bribes. (Business in China is a full contact, adversarial sport... even dealing with staff is a bigger hassle than elsewhere.)

The simplest question to ask oneself is: "In what kind of environment would you like your kids to grow up?"
Storing Hierarchical Data in a Relational Database?
I worked with support on issues, but was told that nothing would be changing. Basically seems that WePay was never committed to explaining things well, or a user interface. This change was certainly explained poorly. EventSpot didn't even know what was happening, though they eventually had someone in the know get back to me.
I was hoping it'd be a new name. While Namecheap seems like a great registrar, the name alone seems to put people off when I recommend them.
Have you chatted with them and asked them what their experience was like?
+1, excellent course. I took it via Edx and really enjoyed it.
Thanks. I'm sure that's true, but Constant Contact didn't provide this info to their support folks, and WePay didn't explain this well. Good plans with poor communication don't attract a lot of users or goodwill.
Sounds similar to the general sentiment in Russia for the past two decades. The grab and run attitudes are also taking a toll on infrastructure and general business reinvestment. If you are unsure of the future, why invest for the long term?
Tresor is really cool but most disk encryption stores the master key in RAM. *
Even assuming that your master encryption key can't be extracted from RAM, coldbooting is still a threat.

For instance they get anything in RAM (files being edited, program state, passwords, emails, web cookies).

Maybe you played a RAM intensive video game that overwrote everything or perhaps you just finished writing a quicken books entry for your counterfeiting operation. Do you feel lucky?

* You can patch your kernel so that DM-crypt uses Tresor, so it is possible. I don't know how it handles the inode keys.

"Web app" is usually a misnomer. The world-wide web is the linked universe of addressable documents (resources). An app which is not just some behavior added to that core architecture is not capable of becoming a part of the web. It's a ghetto of single-purpose data, exactly like the client/server apps from the 1980s, only this time with a deployment model that gets it past gatekeepers in IT. It shouldn't be called a "web app" simply because its installer is delivered via HTTP, and people working on such projects ought to be aware that the network they're building is competing with the web for content while being far more hostile to hacking and mashups.
The article says that in many cases it's exactly the opposite: people who accumulated their wealth by dodgy means are freaking out because the government has started cracking down on the rampant corruption....
HTTPS shouldn't be thought as just for secure sites, but just as the default. 4chan and this site run on HTTPS yet I wouldn't want to disable extensions for them because of that.
Yes, I did this with a Comcast business account. The initial tech person I spoke to on the phone was very willing to help me but seemed confused about what number he needed from the new modem. He said someone would call me back to continue working on it. To my surprise I got a call the next morning saying it should be all set, and sure enough it was. Works great now, and I typically get faster speeds than I pay for.
Could you give an example of how this power dynamic might work in a non-House-Of-Cards setting, you know, in a non-political setting?

Namecheap allowed me to escape from GoDaddy; for that alone I am deeply thankful.

One Start-Up’s Adventure in Figuring Out the Price of a Used Chair
If you are running arbitrary code on your box, then local installed Chrome extensions aren't the real problem now, are they?

That code could, I dunno, run a local HTTP/S proxy (install a trusted cert) and MiTM your HTTP requests and inject ads that way. Or about a million other things.

And it's funny Chrome is trying to prevent apps from doing that, when they themselves do the same thing: In Windows, pinning to the taskbar is supposed to be user-only. But Chrome circumvents that and pins anyways, actively avoiding user preference. (And they drop an icon on the desktop, without asking.)
The internet also needs registrants who are willing to let go of domain names. Everything worthwhile seems to be taken.
There have been numerous classloader bugs and sandbox bypasses, right? Most of the time this doesn't matter since you're not sandboxing non-browser code.

> People in political debates no longer distinguish the phrase “you’re wrong” from the phrase “you’re stupid.”

I wonder just when there allegedly was a golden age of politics where the issues of the day were discussed politely and with mutual respect.
Assume you can't take the government's word on what is corruption. How do you distinguish "punishing someone for corruption" from "punishing someone for being rich"?

The rhetoric coming out of the government is exactly the same in both cases.

Google Doodles: From Gandhi To MLK, History’s Giants Have Become Marketing Tools
You have not worked with seriously underprivileged people. Poorness is related to the lowest social classes in the USA, but they're actually defined by a lack of the basic tools it takes a person to survive in modern society, like literacy and numeracy. Anyone from any walk of life can become poor.

I'd be surprised if a single y-com company had a single employee that was raised by functionally illiterate American parents. I'm not talking about a child of immigrants either, but the intergenerational trainwreck of the American underclass. Keep in mind that 14-20% of Americans are functionally illiterate.

Take a minute to imagine what your life would be like if you couldn't really read. I'm not making this up-- there are lots of people who think McDonalds is healthy because Olympic athletes are on the bag.
You don't need an invoice for a company expense. How do you think people claim back for things bought in a shop?
Have you checked whether they do? In my experience, textbooks often contain more information than you remember they do. Also, for the radians thing, how else would you introduce them? As a magic scaling factor, in the same vein as explaining the difference between degrees and grads?
I've also used Chromium libraries for cross-platform development in the manner you have suggested. What you might want to address is how you handle deficiencies in the base libraries --- how much do you have to rewrite when you see that the base implementations, which are fine for Chromium, don't offer the features that you need in your app? An example: it includes a fs-events system, to monitor for changes in files, but it is crippled to work around a bug in one version of Mac OS X, and so in the end, one probably has to write their own file-monitoring logic for each platform (or copy the Chromium code, and then modify it). Additionally, once you start modifying the base libraries to add the features that you require, how do you merge with the changes that the Chromium team inexorably publishes?
But how else can I extort small businesses based on my shotgun purchase of potentially desirable names?
Hell, you would experience much more cultural diversity of you would walk from one end of France to the other.

Just like Europeans have difficulty mentally grasping the physical size of the US, Americans seem to have great difficulty grasping the internal cultural diversity of Europe.
I like to think that as web apps take off, we might see the emergence of one or more frameworks that specialize in rendering pure documents for the person who doesn't want to use javascript or wants minimal loading of assets.

The reason I suggest this might happen is that for years we've been trying to get away with munging the visual design while still preserving the notion of the document. Web apps take it to the extreme where documents are most often deliver as pure data (i.e. JSON). This move towards having all content as pure data is a great first step towards supplying the content for a pure text only framework.

I like this possible direction the world can take much more. Progressive enhancement was flawed from the start. Let interfaces be super rich, but supplied by content in pure data form that can also be delivered via the simplest interface ever, like basic semantic HTML.
It does make sense if you think about it. In the "grey" version, you perceive it as grey since it looks like there is a transparent yellow layer, and based on the surrounding, it looks like the element itself is just grey rather than yellow (even though there is a yellow tint on the object due to the layer).

But, with a blue transparent layer, there is no yellow to add on from the layer, so the object itself must be yellow in order to show through as such. So our brain makes the appropriate adjustment. Very smart. We see what the actual object probably looks like, rather than the exact colors.

The classic optical illusion with a rubik's cube with a side in shadow is basically the same illusion.
In my state alone, I can encounter at least three very different cultures just within the English-speaking populace. I'd have to have some long conversations with people in the Spanish-speaking populace to establish a rough approximation of the real number.

But something tells me you draw your own entirely subjective cultural lines in vastly different places than I do mine.
That fact of GAAP accounting actually makes sense. Suppose after 1 year, GoDaddy screws up and botches your registration. Your domain is permanently gone. Now GoDaddy owes you $800.

So yes, booking it as debt GoDaddy owes you which they pay down in services actually does make sense. It's extremely low risk debt, but debt nonetheless.
The point was basically a kickstarter/activist mashup. Seems cool... I guess he needed a monetization strategy and so pivoted to group buying.
Yep, I got 50 GB free a while back (I don't remember with/from what) so I planned to use it for backing stuff up. After I discovered that the file size limit was 250 MB I had to reconfigure things in order to split files at ~200 MB in size.

(See also the limits on monthly transfer.)

Now I just use Amazon Glacier and my "Box" is empty.

You're talking about Johnny Mnemonic. :P
of course, but nothing is forcing you to say "open-brace" for this character. there was a video of someone here not that long ago that customized a speech recognition software to use some easily pronounced sounds for this.

while it would still take longer to say, for example koi or roi for ( or ), it reduces it significantly, thus making it into a viable option for programming input
Happy NameCheap customer with 35+ domains here.

This is the worst redesign I've seen in a long time but has a really well redesigned logo. Sorry. Looks like they're trying to fit their content in one of those Generic Fad Layout Templates you find on ThemeForest. The LOGO is awesome though.

● Registering a domain is now harder. Before I could select a dropdown menu and see all the TLD options. Now I can't.

● Did you know that NameCheap sells .es domains? Guess how many screens you have to click through to find that out.

● Did you know NameCheap .coms are only $10 while other sites sell them for $14. Because this design doesn't tell you anything.

● I have to scroll so much to get so little. White space is good in moderation but this is just overdone. There's so little content and so much white space and meaningless grey elements and slideshows and giant icons that it makes the site look sterile.

● There's a slideshow with only 2 slides, one of them talking about Web Hosting (to sell web hosting plans), the other about Security (to sell ssl certificates). No other data. No other info. How many people do you think are going to click the second slide and find out that NameCheap sells really cheap ssl certificates.

● Lots of garbage information is taking up space.

● Less functional than the previous design.

● Some of the worst copywrite I've seen. "The internet needs people" and "Getting your site online is easier than you think."

● It tries to advertise NameCheap (poorly) and what it does (poorly) rather than letting me do it. Look, you guys won, I'm already ON your site. Stop selling your "image" to me and start selling your products and services.

Hopefully when their sales drop they'll revert to the previous layout and work off of that.
Which is why tau is a better constant to use than pi.
I think true expertise is probably harder to come by than it used to be. It's like when I hear old-school bloggers say it's easier now to succeed as a blogger now than it was when they were starting out. It's hard to believe. The amount of effort it takes to stand out from the crowd would seem to dwarf anything else. You have to be really sharp, really focused, Early bloggers had timing on their side, and that counts for a lot.

The barrier to knowledge has gotten much lower, so any would-be expert has to have a ready answer to the question, "why am I listening to you rather than just looking up whatever facts I need from Wikipedia?"
It's actually HIPAA, not HIPPA.

If the paid and free accounts use the same resources (e.g. same hosting configuration, same data centers), the free accounts would also be compliant.
>Assume you can't take the government's word on what is corruption.

That is a big assumption. The Chinese government is very flawed, but you are wrong in assuming that they would define corruption in a completely arbitrary manner. They would most likely (as they have done already) make an example of the worst, most clear cut, cases.
So a friend that worked at DIA says .gov and .mil gear often contains acid in glass surrounding drives and circuits. (Thermite is just in the movies.)

What a security-conscious user really needs is laptop storage that can be quickly destroyed. An SSD would be the easiest to destroy with a strong acid or base (fuming nitric acid will just decap the epoxy). Perhaps someone here knows which would work best.
I wish they'd explain this "fingerprint" system that secures Diffie-Hellman against the man in the middle. e.g. how are fingerprints exchanged? If you can exchange anything truly securely, you can exchange good old fashioned public keys. If you can't exchange something securely you can't stop MIM attack.
> Despite my head start with J, by the end of the conference I found APL code easier to grasp – J seems more extreme to me. Roger calls J “executable mathematical notation”, and I’ve always been a bit more of an engineer than a mathematician.

I found this too, when I tried them both, first J then APL, perhaps because:

* APL uses () [] and {} in their pairs to parenthesize things, just like other languages, while J uses the 6 symbols as standalones, harder to read the code.

* All verbs in APL are single characters, whereas J symbols might be more than one.

* J, unlike APL, uses the concepts of rank, and forks and hooks, which are both difficult to grasp and don't seem to add much to the array processing idea.
What if you suffer from memoryloss? Forgetfullness, traumatic experiences, dementia, headtrauma?
Yup, so much better. As someone who knows namecheap and what they offer very well, I know all the features are there, and with that knowledge the redesign doesn't look to bad. But this is a very ambiguous homepage to a new visitor. The old homepage may have been cluttered but you could just FEEL what they were offering. I don't think this flat design trend applied to all industries.

I've seen a Harvard PhD in economics espouse on TV the false cost-push theory of inflation. It made me wonder what is taught in Harvard econ classes.

Further undermining the credibility of econ degrees is an econ professor from my college stating that he believed in the free enterprise system, and the equal distribution of all income. The contradiction didn't seem to bother him in the slightest.

>When folks tell me "I'll do anything" I'm left wondering.

Not everyone is a delicate little flower that requires every aspect of his environment to be perfect in order to come to work, bust his ass, and keep a smile on his face.

Some people love to program and don't really care where they do it or in what language. Sure, there are languages that hn loves to hate, but in every such case, I'd bet that there's someone out there that's a better programmer than you that fucking loves it. To be clear, that's a statement about diversity in opinion, not an attack on your skills.

Other perfectly talented people have a hard time finding a job and just want a chance to show someone what they can do. This is the situation that a lot of people just starting out are in, but there are also experienced people who for whatever reason, struggle to find employment.

Not sure if you have experienced unemployment, but its terrifying. It shouldn't come as a surprise that people put survival above finding a perfect job.

People shouldn't default to the assumption that people who have a hard time finding work must somehow be defective.
Looks good so far.
