That's 9 dicks I've counted now. Serious question - how comfortable would you all be with the casual use of 'cunt' or 'whore' in hackernews comments on gender issues? Really what I'm asking is, are you hypocrites or bigots?
Great idea here, one I think I should consider more. Thanks for the support - I see no way but to push forward through this.

Much appreciated mcintyre!
Yeah. But how the city is technically setup doesn't stop people from being confused and stopping there.

I'm not saying that east st. louis is terrible as an indictment of st. louis. I love stl. I can't wait to move back. I've just met a lot of random folks who don't realize that east st. louis is different, and stop by.

Luckily, if you stay on the west side of the river, you're pretty much fine. I lived in the city near the botanical gardens for awhile and it was great.

There are sketchy places in St. Louis itself, but they're not as bad as east st. louis, and that's like just about any other city I've been.

Im amazed that the answer pointing to "the cult of done manifesto" was downvoted!! ( http://www.brepettis.com/blog/2009/3/3/the-cult-of-done-mani... )
Is the "bro" intended to be ironic, or are the creators actually not aware that the term is used to represent the worst (most misogynistic, most crass, least mature, least dependable) people currently flocking to the industry? It is by its very definition exclusionary.

I suppose "brogrammers" might be a target audience, but the concept of the tool itself is pretty good for just about anyone. Shame about the name.
There's a copyright infringement form if you are interested. Soundcloud is not usually used as a free music service, (although most creators allow free downloads), it's mostly about discovering and collaborating. Even if they removed all infringing content, my feed would be barely less interesting.
I used have this problem and I developed a system for this. Whenever I have an idea, I'll write it down immediately, either with evernote, clear, or by hand with the aim of getting it into my trello board.

In my trello "idea" board I have swimlanes designated like this

ongoing - stuff I'm working on now

next - Stuff I want to tackle next

good ideas - ideas that I think could be something

meh ideas - not so sure about these ones, I'll keep them around just for prosperity's sake, so if someone launches a billion dollar company off of one of them I can kick myself

just ideas - not fully fleshed out, just whims at this point.

far out ideas - Things I'd do if I had $100 Million or if JJ Abrams became my best friend (Remake "Battle Los Angeles" for example)

done - things I've completed

dead - things I tried that didn't work

Ideas start out in the just ideas column with just the title of the trello card, and every weekend or so, I'll revisit the board and flesh out ideas, adding checklists with all the steps I have to take to realize the idea, and adding comments with stuff I find (competitors, stats etc)

items journey from just ideas, to meh ideas, to good ideas to next. Sometimes moving in the opposite direction to far out, or dead (if I find someone is doing it better).

Once they get to "next", I turn them in to their own trello board, complete with swimlanes for things like user acquisition, marketing, competitive analysis, monetization, features, code, devops, vision/strategy and other adhoc lanes I need for things like picking a name, or "discussions" (if I'm working on it with somebody.

So far it seems to be working very well, and I don't worry so much anymore about losing a really great idea that I had, because I didn't act on it, and I get to see the progress I've made on stuff at a glance.

The next thing I need to do is figure out how to turn 24 hour days into 28hr days so I can get more time outside work to hack on the ideas I plan out using this method :D
For people looking to pull the same thing off on iOS, check out Prowl (http://www.prowlapp.com).

If it's done by routing, then potentially, the final IP address would still be that of your torrent downloading neighbor.

> > if sexual harassment occurs on-campus, or involving staff or students, surely that is a University matter?

> No, I think that's a police matter.

I think it depends on who the victim reports it to, and which channel they want to impose consequences.

I've heard that going through the legal process can be stressful enough for some victims of sexual violence / harassment that they refuse to go through with it. From the standpoint of police / prosecutors, investigating / prosecuting crimes where the victim isn't cooperative or isn't willing to testify at trial, and there is little other evidence, isn't an effective use of limited government resources.

Whereas the university discipline process to suspend or expel a student for misconduct is essentially a private administrative proceeding which may be a more attractive forum for victims to pursue: There's a lower standard of proof, so the process is more likely to be successful; and the accused does not necessarily have a right to face the accuser in such a setting (it's clear that Constitutional rule in criminal proceedings is supposed to make it harder for a person to ruin someone else's life with a false criminal accusation, but it also creates a big psychological problem for some victims to overcome.)

My understanding is that university and police investigations are independent processes with different standards of proof.

As an artist SoundCloud is something you want to pay for. You get better stats (location, source if it's an embed, soundCloud users who have listened to you), customisable embed widgets, and more storage space for your uploads (them limit if by time, not file size). If you see a SoundCloud user with a little orange star beside their name they are a paying member and there seem to be quite a lot based on what I see when using it.
In this case that's not me using faith, that's using a heuristic. A heuristic is a decent substitute for empirical research, but it is not foolproof. We use heuristics to save time. If we had to do empirical research for everything in our lives we would never have time to do anything.

A heuristic is a way to ascertain information quickly. In the case of my birth, there's all kind of evidence to back up my parent's stories including photos, the investment and time spent in raising me. None of this is foolproof evidence, but it's enough to pass my heuristic for this situation. And there are measures I can take to get physical empirical evidence, like a DNA test.

The question of who my parents have can be phrased in this way and have an answer "the people who claim to be my parents are not actually my parents if a DNA test disputes their claims."

Please I encourage you to phrase a question as I have for your belief in God. Something like "I would not believe in God if X were true." Fill in the X.

What is "bro"gramming?
I had some university classes with a doctor few years ago; he brought up the WHO definition of health:

"A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." (emphasis mine)

He then told that questions like "should we tell the patient that he has two years left, and watch him and his family live the life of constant worry and sadness (and probably of a therapy that will add a year or so to the total lifespan, at the cost of being painful for the patient and very taxing to the family), or should we omit that information and let him live his life out in peace and happiness?" are part of an on-going ethical debate in medicine - because of the need to balance the "mental well-being" part with the "absence of disease".

Also, while telling the truth is a virtue, doing so knowing that people had, and will, predictably hurt themselves with it seems less so.
This is great. I'm really just looking for examples most of the time I'm looking through a man page anyways.

As for the "bro"trevorsy that is brewing in these comments. Lighten up for crying out loud.
OP made a Dilbert reference. And the Dilbert strip probably referenced a long-running joke.

If you lend someone a hammer and they use it to smash someone else's window, you're not liable for that so long as you didn't know that's what they were borrowing the hammer to do. I think, generally, you should never be in a situation where you're liable for crimes someone else committed without your knowledge and assistance.

Looks similar to the established commandlinefu site: http://www.commandlinefu.com/

There are scripts to search it from the terminal, e.g. https://github.com/t9md/cmdline-fu

It's a nice complement to man pages, especially since it contains complex examples using multiple tools linked by pipes, which is where the terminal really shines.

I joined Sun slightly after Sun Quentin and from about that point on, it felt like a very different place. That is, very engineer-friendly and exciting, but I joined the tech workforce at about the time when you had to start being more bland and concerned with everything you did and said. I'm not talking about whining about politically correct things. I'm talking about simple sarcasm and humor or being just a little odd for the fun of it. It sounds like they used to be joyous fun times in the industry, but for most of my time, I've felt very constricted and aware of my every word. To the point that I wouldn't even, say, talk about playing video games, because you never know who might overhear and equate video games with being a child and wonder what is wrong with you.

Still, I am grateful to have Sun on my resume and to have been there near the tail end of the good times. It is one of the most memorable periods of my entire life.

Pay yourself first. If that is the only thing you take from this then I've done my job. Always pay yourself before anything else. You say you have no savings. Pay yourself the 5k and start savings. If you work in startups you should have 6mo+ saved up in liquid cash. That way you can pick your next job if your company folds. Having the savings gives you the flexibility to walk away from a bad situation, not accept an offer simply bc you need the money. Always pay yourself first.
I think a lot of people are familiar with the term. It is not a compliment.

See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bro.

"Obnoxious partying males who are often seen at college parties."

"An alpha male idiot. This is the derogatory sense of the word (common usage in the western US): white, 16-25 years old, inarticulate, belligerent, talks about nothing but chicks and beer"

"A usually white young male, found commonly in places like san bernardino county in california, as well as orange county."

"Deeply racist, yet vulture-ize black culture with attempts to be "down", while living as far from any ghetto as humanly possible."

It goes on like that for 36 pages.
I don't know - I think one of the things that makes people feel comfortable about putting their businesses on AWS is that they feel comfortable about the lock-in because they see this steady drip drip of prices going down.
Indeed, man is short for manual. It has nothing to do with men, or beards or bros crushing code. The term "bro" when it comes to programming really needs to go away.

Can we come and visit your startup in SF or Mountain View?
Hello everyone! I've been a long time fan and reader of HN, I'm traveling to Mountain View and San Francisco next month (February 2nd till 10th) We're going to Startup Grind, so hope to see some of you over there.

I'm an entrepreneur from Mexico, we're currently working on our own project here, I was wondering if anyone could accept a quick visit to your startup offices, just to meet, network and learn a bit more about the tech scene in SF and The Valley.

So if anyone could accept us for a quick visit and network with a team of entrepreneurs from Mexico, let me know! We'd be glad to come and say hi to you! Let me know and send me an email to jorge.trigueros@gmail.com with your address and best time to visit I'd appreciate it.

Thanks a lot everyone!
Literally anything else.
The name is ironic and whimsical. I don't see what the problem is. I'm puzzled by people (and I don't necessarily mean the parent in this specific sub-thread, but everybody who has raised concerns over the name in the thread) who seem to think that if a name has any perceived negative connotation whatsoever it should not be used. Would you make the same judgement call with regard to, say, Dogecoin?
It cuts both ways. AWS's console in general is much less usable than Azure's and Azure's Website interface (PaaS for apps) puts Elastic Beanstalk to absolute shame.

Brogrammer is just a stereotype, brah.

Not everybody that wears shades, doesn't take life seriously and speaks with an accent is misogynistic, crass, less mature than you and difficult to depend on.

That's not really fair. To a bro the word just means 'friend' - somebody that's dependable, fun to hang out with and that won't over complicate things.

Those descriptions seem more in line with the tool.

A new format would be overkill. Websites can just set the "muted" attribute on video elements. If you also set "loop" & "autoplay" and hide the controls, you've got a video that acts just like a GIF.
How about Xpages? X for example but also to provide a nice counter to manpages?
Like the "bro" IRL, this "bro" cuts through the tedious BS explanations given by the mainstream PC "man" and gets straight to the point what a real "man" needs to know to get the job done.

"Bro," don't ever change who you are! OP doesn't even lift brah and he probably reads and memorizes all the argument lists of curl/gcc for fun.
The startup I worked at got a deal, so that's false.

Interesting. I've been using a more performant/minimalist version of SoundCloud called SoundRad[1]. It lets you ditch the slow interface and just listen to music. Hopefully they'll spend some of the $60M on improving frontend performance.

I think the tool itself is a bit tongue in cheek, because some would say that doing things by example is definitely a brogrammer thing to do, instead of understanding everything that makes up a command.

The reality being that reading 20 pages to learn how to use one command that you may not use in your day to day is (to me) a silly waste almost all of the time.
The fact that man is short for manual is irrelevant, although I also dislike the term "bro".
I know someone who can't eat apples (I don't know the exact reason) but she enjoys her iPad, so there's that.

(There's no need to protest the name "bro" unless the project is marketed using misogynistic, crass, immature shticks.)
I take the name in jest as well. Unfortunately, a lot of people are easily set off by it. Would hate to see a neat idea get flack and not be used over silly perceptions.
It's a pun on "man", almost surely. It's certainly possible that someone might not have the same interpretation of "bro", which is short for "brother", as the average internet addict. There's nothing inherently bigoted about the term, and it has a long history of use divorced from any puerile or irresponsible behavior.

More importantly, it's not any sort of insult, it's a term people use when they're being friendly to each other, and even if we don't like those people there's not really any need to erect a barrier to its use. "Groovy" has been associated with the psychedelic-drug-using subculture, but we've had no trouble naming a programming language after it. This isn't like, say, "nigger", where it's virtually impossible to imagine using the word in a non-discriminatory way. We don't need to build this wall.

Of course this rant is irrelevant. I think it's silly that a term of endearment can offend people, but:

* when you're naming a software product, you don't get to choose the culture you release it into.

If saying "bro" makes some people uncomfortable, the bottom line is that it just makes a lot more sense to change it. There's virtually no cost to using a different name at this point, and there's plenty to gain by avoiding controversy.
``print a``? The inner `a` is the same reference as the outer `a`.

a = 1;

def foo(): b = a; return b

foo() is a

>> True

This gets hairy when referring to mutable types:

a = []

def foo(): b = a; return b

foo().append(1)

a

>> [3]

Compare to immutable types:

c = ()

def bar(): d = c; return d

bar() + (1,)

c

>> ()

> If you think doctors don't have time for you for economic reasons, and not the fact that there are other patients out there, you really have no idea what doctors do all day.

You are the one who explains that behavior with economic constraints - seemingly without even realizing it. I have written twice that I don't think it comes down to economic reasons.

> They have far more experience with people receiving this information than the person receiving it.

I think that's a popular misconception. They are highly specialized experts for certain kinds of cancer, not priests, social workers or psychologists. You do not have deep conversations with them about how you are coping with the disease and the possibility of dying. You discuss blood counts, treatment plans, possibly options for being recruited into a study population. Or more concisely: They maintain a professional relationship while keeping a healthy emotional distance from their patients.

And nobody should blame them for that. After all, you go to the doctor to get treatment for your cancer, not a shoulder to cry on.
Two suggestions, in fact.

First, you need to read more Dilbert :) http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1995-06-24/

Second, have a look at the OpenBSD man pages if you want to know why a suspenders-and-beard-condescending-unix-user would be dismissive of this.

Hint: The EXAMPLES section in man pages solved this a few decades ago :)
You can do that with ffmpeg or ImageMagick. Something like

I have found out in life that women can also be dependable, fun to hang out with, and not "complicate things."

Using "bro" is offensive because it excludes others by their gender. It's an awful exclusionary term and you shouldn't think it funny or ironic. You're not taking this serious. I'm guessing because you haven't any idea of how soul crushing it can be to see this kind of behavior in the workplace when you're at the other end. It fucking sucks.
"bro" is a short mnemonic/memetic context which makes the command easier to remember and use. I don't think it has any relation to the intended audience or constitutes an endorsement of the "bro" culture by any means.
