Huh? If your manager dislikes you, consciously or subconsciously, you are screwed. I didn't know that was controversial.

This is how humans work, regardless of whether we like it or not.

It doesn't mean, however, that it is impossible to get the 100 most influential people in the company together. It just means that you can't do so by relying on the existing company hierarchy.

The easiest way is to randomly draw 10000 employees, then give them the opportunity to anonymously declare which employee they consider the most influential within their branch/location.

Trust is required for a complex economy. Think if you had to verify everything each and every time you exchanged something. You simply wouldn't get anywhere.
Sure, structs and functions that modify structs are the bare mechanisms provided by C. From the higher-level point of view, structs may represent objects and a constructor is then just a piece of code (possibly implemented a function) that initializes a struct, and a destructor frees any memory it owns (if the struct does not contain any pointers, destroying it is just a no-op). Initializer and de-initializer might be better terms.

There are certainly non-examples of this pattern (with legitimate uses, for sure, but they can be avoided as a general rule). One is global variables. Another is creating an object in one part of a program and destroying it in another (as opposed to the start/end of the same function or block), or worse, in multiple possible locations.

Sometimes I think it takes a few months/years of being undervalued before it really sinks in that you're being undervalued. And then even more before you actually do something about it.

It happened to 13 separate companies on September 11, 2001 (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/twintowers/). It was sort of not targeted at those companies, but on the other hand it sort of was. And it certainly had huge market impact.

Oh please. Besides the fact, that CL has a ton of other features which set it apart any of mentioned langs, none of their REPLs are comparable in power. We have interactive debuggers built in and a language designed for it.

Take this simple example:

The value "foo" is not of the expected type NUMBER.
[Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]

Restarts:
0: [USE-VALUE] Use a new value of type NUMBER instead of "foo".

Global? Likely. Realtime? We're not quite that far into the future. Just try and estimate the bandwidth for the biggest security camera of all times: at 1-3 meters resolution per pixel, worldwide, that's a lot of pixels (about 510 072 000 000 000 per frame, give or take - that comes out at about half an exabyte per frame, if I'm not mistaken). Take ten of these, and you've generated as much data as the whole Internet does in a day. Oh, and you also need to store it somewhere, but this is a minor issue (in comparison to the above).

This absolutely. I work long hours coding on my PhD (because I love it), then I come home and work the rest of the hours on side projects. Over the course of a few months my productivity wanes a lot - I can feel the burnout creeping on.

Over the last two years I've figured out that taking an hour out to go for a walk every day makes a huge positive difference. Sometimes, like this week, I take a week off and just do whatever I want as long as it's not my PhD. Afterwards I'm refreshed and ready to hit it hard again.

> LOL. How does this not apply: "As a boss I should treat my employees the way I would like my boss to treat me." Any reasonable person understands that the professional context means that the relationship between boss/employee is not the same as friend/friend, stranger-on-subway/stranger-on-subway.

Because not everyone is like you. You are assuming everyone can separate personal life with professional life. That would be probably ideal, but doesn't happen often base on my observation. I find it's especially rare among highly talented/creative employees. Army ants, yes, it would be fair.

Using Spreadsheets as a DDoS weapon
Which of the new mega-websites will succeed?
I don't still have the link, but this reminds me of a conversation I read where people were speculating that intelligent people are more likely to take strange ideas seriously and sometimes believe them, because they're good enough at telling good ideas from bad ideas that they have less need for a blanket policy against weird ideas. (Examples: transhumanism, cryptocurrency) If this holds, then intelligent people trusting others more is a specific case of intelligent people trusting their own judgement more.

Of course, conspiracy theories also fall under "strange ideas", and I don't think being a conspiracy theorist correlates with high intelligence (but I may be wrong).
I don't know the situation; but it is easier to get a job when you have a job. People love the thrill of the chase and like the fact that you are choosing them over your option. It can also be a factor that, if you are jobless, people wonder why and that can work against you.

So, depending on the situation, a job with low pay may be better than no job at all.
Reportedly some 50 seats were blocked off to save weight for extra cargo. Suppose each person plus their baggage weighs 80 kg, that's 4000 kg. Let's say 50% of that is taken up by containers, packing, and security devices, yielding 2000 kg of gold. It comes out to 90MM USD at today's prices. A lot of money, but probably not enough to go to so much trouble.

And yours and the other guy's read very, very naive.

> So women in a yoga class ( at work ) are actively promoting their sexual characteristics at that time?

How do you even equate yoga class with hula dancing at a party?

If a bunch of women are taking, say, yoga or pole dancing or belly dancing class, then no, they're not doing it to get male attention, at least not during the class. But there isn't a woman alive who doesn't realise that hula dancing at a party will attract male sexual attention. Or doing yoga in the middle of the office in tight, tight yoga pants.

Another example. If a guy has a great physique, and wears a tank top at the gym, he's not necessarily trying to get attention. But if he goes everywhere wearing T-shirts two sizes too small, and walks around with muscles flexed all the time, the only reason he's doing that is for attention. Do you begin to understand?

I bet you and solarnet are the guys who come home alone from the party, saying "Come on guys, just because she was leaning into me and rubbing her foot up and down my leg doesn't mean she wanted to sleep with me! You guys are such sexist assholes, ha ha!"
I took a flight on a 777 from Dulles to London a couple years ago. A few hours into the flight the captain announced a suspected cabin fire and the smell of smoke in the cockpit. The crew shut off all the circuits they didn't need to fly the plane, the captain took a left turn, and we made an emergency landing at Reykjavik. Just sayin'.
With all due respect to women, the notion that

"They aren’t just bad at behaving like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks. They are bad at behaving like self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards, even a little bit, even temporarily, even when it would be in their best interests to do so."

suggests either a very limited acquaintance with women, or an unduly extensive experience with bad male behavior.
If we assume that there is some level of outside planning here, with maybe a state actor involved, then getting the plane secretly fuelled up beyond the assumed 7.5 hour range would perhaps not be too difficult.
Either that and/or people on the internet are more extreme. Specifically the ones who write the things on the links you choose to click.

The hijackers would probably want to make it public. It's an insurance for their safety right now. A government might simply bomb the parked aircraft and blame it on a crash or the hijackers.
Company governance is whatever the stockholders say it is. You could give the title "Chief Executive Officer" to the janitor's dead hamster and have everybody report to a teenager with the title Cokehead Principio whose only job is to keep the board of directors appraised exclusively through interpretive dance.

Ask HN: Help use Google Doodle to find Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Finding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is a problem google could solve by crowdsourcing the search on the google doodle

They could use an algorithm to generate different satellite images through the possible search images as the google doodle, they could put a toggle button, 'anything look like a plane or wreckage here?' Yes/no. For every yes, show it to more people, see if they agree

I’m sure google has better algorithm experts to figure out what the best images to show are than I can figure out,

but google can find that plane

I've already submitted this to google via email at proposals@google.com as suggested on http://www.google.com/doodles/about

I suspect there are people on HN who are fewer degrees of seperation from who figures out the google doodle than I am though

If you happen to be one of those people, who might be able to send a personal email, or send a text, or make a phone call to someone who could advocate for that being the google doodle, I would appreciate that

needless to say, if google was able to help solve this mystery, I would imagine that would be pretty good publicity for the company

Thanks for your consideration
Plenty of weird reasons to climb like that[1]. I think people dramatically underestimate how mechanical and/or electronic system failure combines with human misjudgement to make things operate in entirely unpredictable ways.

I've never been involved in an air crash investigation, but I have done many system outage investigations. The majority of them[2] involve a failure of a hardware/software system, followed by manual intervention done without complete information. The number of times I've seen small problems escalate dramatically by the combination of automatic systems and manual intervention is enough to make me assume accident when something like this happens.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447#Final_rep...

[2] Ok, the majority that don't involve the deployment of new software.
Yes, if the fire had incapacitated the pilots and the plane was on autopilot.
Yes, but it seems the publishers aren't that interested in my money. While I do live in a country where I can at least watch Netflix, there's so much content that's not available to me due to artificial licensing constrains.

Piracy is not the answer, but perhaps the only way to get some people to realize that the world is changing.

I knew I should have specified something along the lines of "and as part of a criminal fraud or theft or deliberate talent destroying act, or..."

As you say, the sole purpose of 9/11 wasn't to target those specific companies.
Some people seem to enjoy it as a sort of creative challenge, it seems, which I guess doesn't really hurt anyone (I don't envision the victims' families reading these threads). That's fine as far as it goes, although these threads always seem to branch out into bizarro conspiracy theories about the Mossad trying to smuggle the Reptilians' sacred crystals into Liechtenstein and wondering about why the "all-powerful, all-seeing" governments are hiding what they know about it.
I hope you're wrong. If a state was involved that would mean that boarding a plane is extremely dangerous from now on.

This case is really suspicious but I still think this was just an accident.

See wikiburner's comment:

Damage from an electrical fire on board could possibly explain the first transponder going out, even if the crew wasn't aware of the fire yet
Note that there was a 'terrorist attack' in China a week or two earlier, in which five Uighur separatists with knives killed 30 random people and wounded hundreds in a crowded train station, before being shot by police. This shows that there are definitely 'terrorists' (not using the scare quotes because I necessarily disagree that they're terrorists, only because I honestly don't know what they are) who are interested in killing large numbers of Chinese people in the name of their cause.
You could land on any hard-packed dirt surface, especially if you weren't too concerned about being able to take off again.
I am not in favor of judging them now, only assuming they're in the wrong for the purpose of discussion; if some people happen to jump to conclusions, I'm sure GitHub can take it more than Horvath can.

Because sexism in tech is a fact, this occasion is an opportunity to discuss it. Debating whether Horvath is right or wrong is not only futile, but is also potentially harmful to her, and that harm is far greater than GitHub's. Presumption of innocence is only a principle in legal disputes, and this, currently, isn't one, nor are we the jury. There will be no great injustice done if the assumption turns out to be false, but there is a lot of harm being inflicted on Horvath right now by people equating her position with that of a rich company and suspending any form of judgment. This does not only harm her personally, but the entire industry by implying that sexism in tech is disputable and pending "further data", which it isn't.

Given that sexism in tech is real and serious, that GitHub has a bit of a spotty background on that issue, and that GitHub does not deny any of the allegations, this is a perfectly good time to assume something bad has happened and discuss measures to correct the situation in the industry. If it turns out GitHub has fallen victim to the very real injustice of sexism in tech, I won't shed a tear for them, but will be excited to see them face the challenge and lead the way forward.
Still, his interpretation is more plausible than expecting that the ghost of steve himself visits Tim Cook at night to tell him which 100 guys out of a workforce numbering over 80,000 really deserves that honor.

Read about Nigeria Airways Flight 2120 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_Airways_Flight_2120).

An under-inflated tyre caught fire during take-off, the plane took off unaware of the fire, when the landing gear was retracted the fire spread burning through electrical and hydraulic lines.

A fire "outside of the pressurised part of the fuselage" doesn't mean the same didn't happen here.
That's an interesting idea but I guess the problem here is about setting a precedent. Why is it ok for that plane and not many other uses (e.g. Amber alerts)? They just wouldn't want to go there
I'm curious what the takeaway from this is. Specifically, I'm curious how well these results translate to the use of a hash table.

If your application is even 80% giant hash table lookup, I would presume it is doing so in a fairly highly multithreaded environment. Caching systems, maybe?

Otherwise, I would think the times where this benchmark matters are few and far between. If you find you are looking up a ton of items in a hash table in such a way that that shows up in a profile, you are probably best off moving to a sorted list and just iterating through the items as you need. Right?
Yeah, because states were never behind any deliberate downing of a civilian aircraft, either through external hit or from within the aircraft.
What do you mean? There's plenty of motive for hijacking, just as always. Especially a flight filled with Chinese civilians headed to China. There has been a rash of terrorist attacks within China recently from Xinjiang separatists, including several different mass stabbing attacks just this year which have claimed dozens of lives.

One might hypothesize that terrorists managed to take control of the airplane and divert it only to have the passengers counter-attack and then in the chaos that followed either control of the plane was lost and not able to be recovered or it was intentionally crashed. Even with reinforced doors it would not take very long for highly motivated individuals to breach them, whether that's the attackers or the passengers or whomever.

I'm not saying that anything of the sort is likely but similar things have happened before.
You don't have to be curious. They are using data and have sent crews out looking for the plane. They have experts in their field coordinating the search. People who have expertise in radar, Satellite Image analysis, air accident investigations, air traffic control and actual ability to fly a plane.

I was merely commenting that it's funny how there is one story that MH370 may have snuck under radar by shadowing another 777, and this article says there was a fire. Perhaps the fire caused the crew to shadow the 777? Or maybe the 777 caused the cabin fire?

I am, of course, being facetious. But when they do eventually find MH370, it's unlikely it would have been because of speculation on the Internet.
Ok, silly question time: why should we find them?
>I do not think I can code well enough to look down at other people for coding ability.

That's kind of the point of social coding. If I care and think that I can help your project, I'll suggest a solution that I'm capable of implementing (pull request).

>Social is transforming to a place to socialize, and the latter I do not like for Github or anywhere else for enthusiast programming.

No one is forcing you to do anything. You can post your code for others to see without interacting.

>I wrote a small README, uploaded a SVG of the MySQL DB structure to get an idea, and had not written any of the Python I described. I received three stars a week later, and not a single line of code yet. How does that even make sense?

Maybe someone liked your idea or starred it as a reminder to come back later.

>and the hundred or so comments supporting various views on women and IT and superfluous garbage showed it was a hot topic.

Political opinions don't require an understanding of the issue or any ability. To talk about code, the amount of ability and understanding increases with the complexity of the sample. Which is to say, of course the noise political discussion drowns out talk about coding because there's more potential participants.

>Some people write cutesy meaningless libraries to get attention.

So what?

>But what I do not like is the stress Github is now turning the celebration of open programming and collaboration into, merely a celebrity contest.

Do you think that this behavior comes from Github or its users?

>I never broke more than 1, on anything)

Earlier you said that you received multiple stars for a project you hadn't coded.

I'm going to stop responding because you're responding with anecdotes, some of which are fictitious.
A strict consequentialist wouldn't waste time with politics; he knows the input/output ratio is a billion to one.
> If request rates like these bring your site down, you have a serious software problem.

Either that or you chose a CMS to host your website (Drupal Commerce?). 50-100 uncached application requests/sec is pretty high for a larger (in terms of number of contributed modules) drupal site
I guess that does answer my question. I have no real beef with the speculation, it is somewhat darkly amusing, given that real people died and are totally missing, leaving behind distraught family and friends.

It's quite possible to think of reasons why they decided on that course of action. I'm no expert, but here's some based on previous incidents:

They wanted to burn off fuel.

There was a fault with the rudder

There was a fault with the control system

They pilots were dead, and the autopilot was doing something off.
Fedora has for a while. I really don't recall regarding versions prior to Ubuntu 13.10, but this version has Py3x as a default.
Completely agree. I'm surprised that, especially on HN, the large number of people who won't apply Occam's Razer to the situation.

I imagine that most air accident investigations begin like this; confused, competing information from numerous sources of varying reliability. Just with the internet and 24h news, everyone is following along with each revelation (see also the Pistorius trial).

Give it some time, let the investigators work and report their findings. I'd be very surprised if it's not a combination of system failure and human error in reacting to the failure.

Rant incoming:

I've recently been involved in a project where I worked very long hours for weeks in a row, including Saturdays and Sundays. One day I got the flu but I ignored it. I stayed at work till 11:45pm. I was shaking uncontrollably when I was walking home, I felt like dying. I took two days off but the flu stayed with me for an entire fucking month and it was hell. Had some serious relapses and felt like shit all the time.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, I finally feel better, but one day I got up from the couch and had the most horrible attack of vertigo and dizziness. I had to throw up hard, and the vertigo didn't go away. When I woke up the next morning I thought I was better but the moment I got up from bed the same shit happened. I went to the emergency with my gf and it turns out I have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The doc managed to fix it with some positional maneuvers, but I still feel a little bit disoriented from time to time.

I feel like this job is ruining my health.

Edit: Removed some personal info.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, there are literally thousands of disused airframes nestled in various out of the way corners of the globe. If your goal is really to fly an explosive laden jet into something, absconding with a loaded passenger jet is about the least clandestine method imaginable.
