It's possible to have experience, but 'work' experience on a resume implies professional (paid) time.

We interpret the lines as lying on the image plane, so anything that obscures the lines is taken to be "in front" of the image plane.

This trick works because of the common human experience of seeing an image through various kinds of obstructions -- bars in a window, hanging strings, trees in a forest, and other similar obstructions. If we never learned to assemble an image lying behind vertical lines, the trick would not work.

This article tries way too hard to act like Schrem's indictment is an attack on the Bitcoin system itself.

If you look at the complaint (http://www.justice.gov/usao/nys/pressreleases/January14/Schr...) most of it is spent explaining Liberty Reserve's system, but then goes into great detail showing how Schrem conspired to launder money for BTCKing, with e-mails and everything.

Money laundering is money laundering, and here it was obviously done in a very willing way, and is a very specific case. I doubt this could be used to any real effect in other spaces.

Look around your room. If you don't have any food lying there, everything you see is made of oil. The carpet on the floor, is manufactured using oil, and the paint, the only part you really see is oil. Same for walls. Every gadget you see has a plastic shell, made from oil. LCDs have lots of components, the majority made from oil. If you look at a TV, all you see is oil. Synthetic fabrics are made from oil, and everything we wear is at least 10% synthetic, more likely 80-90%, and again, the paint used is going to just be oil. Laptops are near 100% oil (the entire shell + the lcd is, so all visible parts are).

Even in microchips. Everything but the actual silicon and contact pins is oil. The casing, the print, the holder, the cooler, ...

The only exceptions I see in my room is the glass of the window (made from silicon and production energy comes from coal), and a glass. Oh, and some leftover spaghetti.

Why, should he be making the opposite? It's a government, people, lots of people, have voted FOR it, and support its actions.

Lots of Americans in HN make lots of comments defending the US government and the US point of view. Actually the American point of the view (not just in politics: in life, about startups, society, etc) is the constant undertone on everything written here.

Just because to somebody, as an American, when he champions such things it feels to him like he is stating the "natural law" (instead of man made ethics and opinions) doesn't change that fact.

Can you give me an example of such a species ? Because I don't know any. The type of growth you're referring to would be like rabbits versus cats, and their numbers are anything but stable.

And frankly, even if you can actually do that, give a stable species, the fact is that humans follow a pattern of massive expansion followed by large die-offs, rinse and repeat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_population_growth_(l...

Note the logarithmic scale. Realize what it means if, on that graph, there is a very slight but visible drop. Note that "details" like the holocaust + all worldwide WWII victims simply don't register on that graph at all (events like that have been a near constant throughout history, just read what happened during islamic expansion in Europe over 700-800 years, with constant extermination campaigns usually, but not exclusively, by the invaders. And that's something that barely registers if you compare it to the islamic massacres in India). Then realize that this is a smoothed graph, where you wouldn't even see the majority of die-offs at all.

The minimum you'd need to see it on that graph at all is a 10% die off, and that would be a flat horizontal line. Can you imagine a 10% die-off ? The minimum we'd need to detect it >200 years back, is a plague-sized event. There were lots of those, as you can see.

That's the species we are. That's how our numbers have evolved. That's the reason evolution works.

On their Input Validation cheat sheet (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Input_Validation_Cheat_Sheet) they recommend this as an example zip-code validation:

^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$

Depending on the language and regex interpreter options, this isn't as strict as it could be since it might accept unicode numbers. For the paranoid, this would be better:

^[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?$

Edit: And security issues aside, there's really no need for a capturing group on the last four digits, thus it could be:

^[0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?$

1:30 seems to be about right, could be less though. I have a GoPro 3 Black Edition and a second battery back. Recently I went snowboarding, took about 2-3 hours of video footage in total (as mentioned above in 150 small files) and cut everything down to a 2 minute video.

So, part of "extending" battery life is knowing when it makes sense to record a scene and when not.

I can still fully recommend the GoPro. It's a fun camera and what I like in particular is that you can point it directly into the sun and still see everything. It has an excellent white balance for amateur video makers like myself.

And of course the 60/120fps in 1080p/720p.

FYI OpsWorks runs their Chef on Ruby 1.8, make sure your cookbooks passes on 1.8, and it doesn't depend on +1.9 :)

This is nothing on AWS OpsWorks, as they greatly simplified interface into managing clusters (for deployments, organization).

I found about this recently as I updated a community cookbook(python), as the Chef community is moving forward (with Chef 11+) that 1.8 has reach EOL and 1.9 is stable (2015) and 2.0 current, and 2.1 is new-hot-ness.
Please see the presentation. It gives you some clue why the old sync wasn't user friendly (you probably can guess already).

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7200425

Basically, many assumed it was a backup program. Recovery was painful. There was multiple iterations of enhancement before they decided to roll out Fx Account, it was clear that users didn't like the original Sync.

Fx Account is more than Sync. This is like having a Google account and allows you to connect to Mozilla services like Marketplace and all instances of Firefox a user owns.
The steps to turn on sync for devices where you don't have access to both at the same time are a bit mangled since you're required to use the recovery key.

I'm hoping with this it will turn into something close to Chrome's sync

In short, working with computer is easy, working with people is hard. This is also reflected by salary. It pays to have the skill communicate, influence, or manipulate people.

Most programmer job is simply translate others thought to language that computer can understand. Therefore the difficult is never the programming part, but the understanding human being part.

Comparing to human ability making computer close to understanding human, civilization has developed much more advanced in manipulate human to think like computer, evidenced by all the gadgets surround us today. Comparing to programmers inventing new ways to make computing smarter or say closer to human, majority of corporate line of business IT programmers are merely temporarily filling the gap between human and computer, but for how long? There is no need exaggerate the Corporate experience, that's a translator job can be easily replaced by cheaper labor and eventually by smarter computer.
> If you want to convince people, it's best to find common ground rather than running to points where you'll know you find contention.

Some contention is unavoidable. Consider the chasm that separates science and religion -- the scientist's default outlook is that ideas are assumed to be false until there's supporting evidence. The religious believer's default outlook is that ideas are assumed to be true until evidence proves them false (and some believers refuse to examine any evidence) -- exactly the opposite outlook. This can't be waved away, and no meaningful discussion can begin until the chasm is bridged.

Until 1600, religion solved the science problem by killing all the scientists. Since then, it has solved the problem by ignoring science, even while living in a world increasingly defined by science and scientific thinking. That's not a trivial problem, and it's not a question of common ground -- there isn't one.

> Baby steps.

Let the religious make the journey to science, with steps of any size they choose.

I used to work in television. Sky TV in the UK uses a platform called OpenTV, which like anything with "open" in the name is a proprietary vertical-market app that charges thousands of dollars per seat per year. One part of the content chain is a compiler that's supplied as a Windows binary. That bit ran immaculately under Wine 0.9.something on CentOS, saving us a few Windows licenses.

tl;dr Wine is usable for production work, anyone who claims it isn't is simply incorrect.
People A/B test the colour of a button to try to improve conversion rates.

With the Dungeon Keeper example we have one button leading directly to the play store rating system, and another button that adds several steps to that process.

It is a deliberately chosen ploy to manipulate the ratings. It is scummy. Email feedback from uses can be achieved in some different way.

> Can you give me an example of such a species ?

You need examples of species whose numbers aren't changing, but that are subject to the process of natural selection? Where shall I start? Well, there's one obvious starting point -- the fact that the theory of evolution models stable populations mathematically:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

> ... even if you can actually do that, give a stable species, the fact is that humans follow a pattern of massive expansion followed by large die-offs, rinse and repeat.

You just answered your own question. From the standpoint of natural selection there's no difference between a species whose numbers don't change, and one whose numbers fluctuate up and down around a maximum defined by its environment.

In any case, apart from humans there are thousands of species whose numbers are limited by their environments, and natural selection continues to choose which members of that species survive, based on the changing nature of the environment. This is evolution 101.

> Still a fan ?

What are you going on about? Do you or do you not want to understand evolution? You have already accepted, and given examples of, the idea that natural selection applies to growing populations and declining populations -- all you need to do now is fill in the blank space lying between the two.

Twice, I have had stock options, as an employee in the low-10s at small companies. Company 1 IPO'd in the dotcom boom, my options that had actually vested came to maybe 6 months worth of my then-salary. A nice chunk o'change to be sure, but buying a house? No way. Paid off my student debt, had a couple of very nice vacations. By the time the rest vested, they were underwater.

Here's the kicker: employee #1 was a good friend of mine and we did a show-me-yours-show-you-mine. He got exactly the same as I had. Huh.

Second time, small company acquired by much larger public company. Again, about 6 months worth it worked out to, tho' of course my salary was abit higher then. Paid the deposit on my first flat which was nice, and some furniture and a fancy TV, but very, very far from buying the flat outright for cash.

Nowadays I work for a giant corporation, my salary is actually just over the salaries from those two jobs combined, and stock options are of zero interest to me.
I'd love to see something similar, but far less complicated and open to gaming - trusted reviewers such as friends and known industry names; the latter being akin to how reviews used to work before crowd-sourcing broke them.
