I think with CloudFlare you should really get an agreement that states some kind of penalty if that "special fix" every accidentally breaks (their engineers seem pretty fast/loose with agile code changes that affect their customer's sites).
Well, no. One is a currency sign and the other is ISO 4217 code.
I think you misunderstand your parent. Here is the full quote:

there is no symmetry in these biases (e.g. the false equivalence of misogyny and misandry)

It does not mean that there is never a case of sexism against men or racism against whites. What it means is that you cannot simply flip mysogyny and misandry, or racism against minorities and racism against majority. One major reason is the power imbalance - you can read more about it online but the simplest example I can offer is that of sexual harassment where the power imbalance is essential to the problem, i.e. a lowly employee asking for a date with their boss is a fundamentally different problem than a powerful boss asking for a date with their employee. Another reason is systemic vs. individual discrimination - again, other people explain it better than I ever could but a very simple example would be that everyone across the board, meaning men and women both, discriminate against equally-qualified resumes with female names on them, evidencing that our whole culture is systemically sexist in one direction.

And if you read carefully what that parent was responding to, it will make even more sense.
I will admit to not knowing how things are done outside of Silicon Valley, so if that's the norm outside then I gladly defer to you.

But in Silicon Valley I've never been pressed to give a salary. So in today's market, if I were talking to you as a prospective employee and you pressed me to give you a salary without you telling me how much you want to pay for the salary, I would politely decline to continue the interview process. I don't need a job that badly (yet). It would feel to shady to me to have the prospective employer force me to give a salary expectation before they give me an offer. They know what their budget is, and if we're in the negotiation process, they know if I'm worth whatever their best offer is.

If you are a recruiter, and this is the initial phases of the conversation, and you press me on salary expectations, then I most assuredly will not continue the conversation. I don't think it's appropriate for either side to discuss salary expectations at that point.

If I'm desperate for employment, then I'm sure my feelings would change on this, but so far (knock on wood) this hasn't been an issue.

Well said. I am always very uneasy if I feel I am the most knowledgeable guy in the room -- because I know I don't know even a small fraction of what is known. Now I know why I feel uneasy -- because I am in a dangerous setting.
In AI this is a little bit known as the rationality paradox. People generally agree that the following formula is the definition of acting rationally :

argmax(sum(probability_of_event * utility_of_event) given action)

So do you open a door ? There could be a bear behind the door that will eat you if you open the door. The probability of that is not zero (and even if it was, it would not matter). The utility of that is -inf. The utility of not opening the door is also -inf. There could be a bear behind you and the door could be your only way to safety.

So a rational actor would never do anything at all, as the rational function would never converge.

Ergo, nobody and nothing is rational (as soon as the world has a certain minimal level of complexity).

There are various suggestions given out of this conundrum, but none are even mildly satisfying. For example, one could claim that you don't know those odds, so you don't care. But that is the same as saying you can't really be rational, so it's not a solution.

Maximizing your chances of getting into Y Combinator (Summer 2014)
I don't think this debate is as complicated. There are a certain set of things you can do with the knowledge outlined above.
And there is a certain set of things that you can do with semi-advanced or advanced algorithmic knowledge, knowing how the cache works, knowing how distributed algorithms work and so on.

Some companies don't need the latter. Some companies do. The latter companies do want to hire someone who can do both, and not be stuck to a special set of tasks that they can do i.e. they want a generalist who can be assigned to any project of varying complexity.

Personally speaking, many of the tasks I do don't involve the algorithmic skill set. But some do - now without that skill set would I just outsource it to the "brighter" folks in my company or would the company just prefer that everyone who they hire know that stuff ?
No they don't. Things have to be significantly better to win, not just better, but way better.
Everyone seems pretty focused on the pricing - I thought the inclusion of an asset-marketplace directly into the editing environment was brilliant.

You could imagine Adobe following suit very shortly here withs something similar and invalidate all those graphic/template/icon/texture/animation sites. You just open the "marketplace" inside of Photoshop and browse around for the assets you might want.

Same would go for video-editing. No more buying Action Essentials, just load up Final Cut and look for the perfect blood animation.

You could imagine at some point your IDE having a marketplace inside of it to allow you to purchase proprietary platforms directly and integrate them into your project without much hassle.

It's a really cool proposition, ripe for monopolization unfortunately, but surely convenient if executed on well.
I wonder if you can choose a different model if your game becomes more successful.

"But, I'm always open to negotiation" is a good way to guarantee you won't get what you want.

It's pretty well accepted that the first person to give a number loses, so you want to push this on them. They are the business with a budget, and a budget for your position, they already know what they can and can't afford. All they are trying to figure out is how much you are undervaluing yourself.

This question typically comes up WAY too early as well. If this is part of the phone screen I just tell them it's too early to tell as I don't know the full responsibilities of the role and other factors such as growth potential, etc.
We are gathering emails to see how much signups to expect at the launch time. And then prepare our app/server for that type of traffic.

fwiw, this uses software [1] that has dozens of dials to adjust yet not giving access to those dials. That's probably why. One of the key challenges (i've tried to write chord detectors personally) is that different instruments sounds have different harmonic falloff rates (in different frequency ranges no less).

From the FAQ (https://www.unrealengine.com/faq):

What platforms can I access under the subscription plan?

If you access the source code, you'll see that there is early work on other platforms, including Oculus VR, HTML5 and Linux. You are welcome to extend and modify this code, and also build and ship games for these platforms.
Making contributing code more fun will almost certainly lead to projects receiving more contributions.
Both C and Python treat the number 0 as falsy if you use it in an if statement. On the other hand, Ruby and Clojure treat 0 as truthy if you pass it in an if statement

if(0){
//Ruby and Clojure go here
}else{
//C and Python go here
}
So much better ;-)

There's a learning curve, can't hit the ground running as you can with Groovy, but with Groovy there's a ceiling; with Scala the only ceiling is (perhaps) Haskell and for that you have to leave the JVM.
Adobe already tried that. It was discontinued.

Heroku certainly is a huge time saver. And you certainly can build high traffic apps if you use a stateless and reactive frameworks like Play, Vert.x or Node.js. Even within the free limits.

Well, they're playing catch-up with Unity here, which has had that capability for (3?) years now.
Yes, I have tried fooling many codility/interview street questions by searching around and finding code snippets.
For a techie, its very very easy to fool offline/automated tools.
I don't think "BTC" should be used in contexts where it may be construed as an ISO-4217 currency code, as the first 2 letters correspond with ISO country codes and "BT" is reserved for Bhutan. I believe currencies not attached to specific geography or sovereignty should start with X (No country names start with X). So XBC seems the right fit.
Realism isn't always good. Thinking that motion sickness is good just because it's realistic is like thinking that the ultimate VR experience will cause debilitating pain whenever your in-game character gets shot. Some experiences are better left out.
(I'm a YC S11 alum, and wrote this so I wouldn't have to reply in email to all the people who ask for help...)
people aren't talking about that as much because Unity already has that, so it's not quite as new. It's just keeping up with the competition at this point.
3) Trademarks benefit the end-users in a very direct manner. If I buy a specific brand that's labelled then I can feel fairly confident it is the correct product. (Unless the company has changed quality on the same branded product, like Pyrex or Thinkpad.)

Bonds and the like (e.g. savings account) are investments, it's just that they have low reward paired with a low risk. This case demonstrates the utility of that low risk. Certainly falling behind a bit to inflation is a minor concern compared to losing $1M in 10 years.

From the new user faq:

What about downloadable content, in-app purchases, microtransactions, virtual currency redemption, and subscription fees, as well as in-app advertising and affiliate program revenue?
Revenue from these sources is included in the gross revenue calculation above.

Are any revenue sources royalty-free?
No royalties are due on the following:

Ancillary products, including t-shirts, CDs, plushies, action figures and books. The exception is items with embedded data or information, such as QR codes, that affect the operation of the product.
Consulting and work-for-hire services using the engine. This applies to architects using the engine to create visualizations as well as consultants receiving a development fee.
Linear media, including movies, animated films and cartoons distributed as video.
Cabinet-based arcade games and amusement park rides.
Truly free games and apps (with no associated revenue).

Neat, but I couldn't get three librairies with minified JS:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/jquery@1.10.2,bootstrap@3.0.3,angularjs@1.2.10

And I couldn't get Boostrap CSS even if they say they also host CSS.

Also, it's not clear if you can or not mix CSS and JS in the query, that would be neat to do that and then to insert CSS with Javascript (or maybe that would be a bad idea).
Hey everyone, crazy to see my article posted here again 4 years later (I can't believe it's been 4 years since I wrote that). I'm glad it's still relevant to people.

If this were one of my open source projects or programming articles, I'd say, "Let me know if you have any questions." But I'm not sure I could answer anyone's questions on this subject. I'll sure try though if you do have any.

I agree that maybe you should write in a different, more strongly typed, language but saying that people encountering this bug are not writing code in a Pythonic style is too much like victim blaming, IMO. Its a bit like those times when people say that if only you were a good programmer following "proper" C++ idioms you will never ever encounter memory leaks or segmentation faults.

The default behaviour for objects in Python is being truthy and testing their existence with `if x` instead of `if x is not None` is definitely encouraged by the language (otherwise, why would it even let you use objects in a boolean context?). Having something that behaves like the default except once in a blue moon is just a trap and its unfair to blame it on the programmer.
The risk is not primarily to electronics, but to the power distribution system. CMEs induce large, very low frequency currents in transmission lines, which can destroy the large transformers connected to them. There is no large reservoir of replacement transformers, and they take some time to build, so in the event of a widespread event, they will not be quickly replaced. IEEE Spectrum had a detailed discussion of the problem and steps to mitigate it: http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/the-smarter-grid/a-perfect-s...
Data Management Problems
Even for Indie developers, if $19/month is not a trivial component of your budget, for something as foundational as this, you can't afford to be making games.

Epic's marketing is correct here; if the engine is worth anything to you at all, it's worth way more than what they're asking here. If it can't save you $200's worth of time and effort in one year, it was a bad choice to ever go with it. (That's not rhetorical; there are certainly cases where this is the wrong engine and isn't worth it for your project, even free. Being industrial strength comes with its costs, and you may be better off with something that has traded power for ease-of-use and speed of development.)
Is it really true that you should compress before you encrypt? IT seems to me that the encrypted message should have the same amount of "information entropy" as the original message, so it should compress equally well.
Regarding the tire kickers, could you just subscribe for 1 month, download the source, and then cancel? You wouldn't get access to the forums and the latest code, but if you wanted to get your feet wet and see where your skills take you, you can try it out (for $19) and then come back on board when you have a game coming close to finish.

This is the first thing that has popped up in the "New Features" category that I really feel is just feature bloat from GitHub. I'm not saying that this isn't potentially kinda cool, but the feature just feels different. I think part of it was the addition of a "share" button. I just feel a bit off about this new feature.
Agreed. "Shit you don't know you know" is actually mentioned at the end of the article as a sub-category of the "shit you know you know" which delves into psychology and theories of hidden or repressed memories and/or knowledge, which I know little about from an academic point of view. Also noting that, just because you can't put all of your knowledge into words, doesn't mean you don't have it. Or is that essentially what you were saying?
You're correct, and all of those use-cases are mentioned in the spec, so I'm optimistic. This is from some of the guys involved in CSP, and that spec has been deployed well. Let's just make sure we voice our support for it.

EDIT: sorry - they mention caching and using fallback sources, they don't mention any DHT.
Hi Robert, sorry I did not realise that this was not a Mozilla project. The post sounds like it is and the site suggests it is a "hack" by Mozilla.
jQuery was deployed from the official source. And it does load a map file suggesting its minified. Not sure why it looks like this.

You can mix CSS and JS in one query but its up to you to make it work.

To load Bootstrap CSS you need to specify the exact file like so

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/bootstrap@3.1(css/bootstrap.min.c...

Because the main file for this project points to a js
"You can cancel your subscription at any time and keep using the engine, though without monthly updates."

If you are really tight on cash then I guess that you can check the change log and only pay the 20$ for the month for crucial updates. Paying for product updates is usually a big red flag for me but since it got down from several tens of thousands of dollars up front then this is not such a bad deal.
What's the point of silent tracks? The same effect can be accomplished by just turning the volume down all the way. They could encourage people to play their real tracks without volume or with speakers unplugged without making it so obvious they are trying to game the system.
What sold me on coderpad.io was the README_IF_YOU_ARE_HACKING_ME file in the working directory. Contents below:

Hello! Hope you are enjoying CoderPad. I've added this file because a lot of
people have emailed me voicing security concerns. Usually these concerns are
to the tune of "programming language X lets me run Y system call."

They're not wrong, you can run any system call! Security in CoderPad happens
at the LXC sandbox layer. You are currently in an ephemeral container that
will be destroyed upon your departure. You are welcome to run any
privileged operation you can get your hands on. CoderPad is, after all,
the highest fidelity programming interview tool there is.

That said, if you do manage to uncover something like privilege escalation
or data created by other users, I want to hear about it. You can email me at
vincent@coderpad.io, and I look forward to hearing from you.

As others have pointed out, $19/month is just the friction fee to keep it from being completely free/public. The actual monthly cost is negligible; the real cost is the 5% royalty.

I've been thinking about it for development as well, but I now think that resolution isn't as big a concern as I initially thought.

You'd be able to have a virtual desktop of (essentially) unlimited size. You're frontmost task could be high resolution, but ancillary tasks could be lower resolution or high resolution but partially occluded by your field of vision. This wouldn't be opening an IDE to fill the entire screen - it would be a multi-window environment with at most a few primary tasks using up most of the screen real estate. Like Mission Control with real time zooming in a 3D environment and no distinction between workspaces.
Basically, there's a kind of romanticisation of Fluke multimeters in the electrical and electronics community as the only decent multimeter and their appearance as incredibly distinctive. This supposed distinctive appearance never seems to have existed - Flukes from any given era look far more similar to all the other multimeters and electronics from that era than to newer or older Flukes - but people believe it anyway, most likely because they rarely come across other multimeters.
Rubik's cube twisty puzzles. Far beyond the original 3x3x3 cube, which I've known for years. There's been a boom lately in newly designed puzzles of pretty much every polyhedral shape you can imagine.
