Supercar yacht: Dream machine or ego gone mad?
I hate to say it but I have ended up turning off a lot of the mixed-content/partial site rules for this reason.
The wikipedia article covers it decently.[1] And, the tires definitely have the most obvious effect at getting up to speed. However, I know that my top speed is higher on my road bike than it is on my mountain bike of similar tire size. I have mostly attributed that to the gearing. (Simply put, I am peddling as fast as I can on the mountain bike and going slower than a modest peddle on the road bike.)

Mayhap I am wrong there, as well.

Yeah but then you are forced to make a choice: avoid authors who fail to provide non-restricted books, or download books illegally.

It's even better that way, since you'll support sane authors and publishers who don't use DRM. I see no problem avoiding others. It's like global pollution. One can choose to avoid those who heavily contribute to it and prefer those who don't.

Perhaps, but then I am left wondering about newly written books -- why are the authors continuing to endorse DRM? Why are the authors continuing to do business with the publishers who demand it?

I didn't knew bike couriers existed before I saw this movie on TV. Is this common in NY, or is Uber introducing the idea? Is it common elsewhere?

Thanks for replying! That seems completely reasonable to me, I think that separates you from evil predatory loans in my mind regardless what issues there may be with your marketing. :)
Utterances in any natural language are always ambiguous, often hopelessly so. It works out because the speaker and listener are cooperating towards a shared goal; the removal of this assumption of cooperation is why contracts and legal codes get longer and longer over time as they try to deal with the fact that they can't actually specify anything the way they'd like to.

The computer isn't like another person, and we'd really prefer to have it do what we say rather than guess what we want and act accordingly. Indeed, we are not yet able to have a computer guess what we want to any respectable accuracy.

(Think of it this way. In some languages you can provide compiler hints that say, for example, "this variable will usually be an integer, so please optimize for that". A natural language consists basically 100% of compiler hints and 0% of instructions.)
If I were to guess I'd say they use other ID factors such as name/dob

Keep in mind that the rejections may have nothing to do with your profile or skillset, but simply to how you're presenting yourself during the interviews.

If you're dealing with burnout, low energy, low self-esteem, this will clearly show up during the interview or even a phone screening. You may not even notice it, but it's usually very evident.

The other recommendations here are all valid: invest in yourself. Take some time off. Learn something new. Start a new Coursera (or eDX, or Udacity). Start exercising, if not already. Give yourself a few months to heal, and then start applying again and move on.

Happy to take a look at your resume and give you some honest feedback, if desired.

I'm going to say.... not to do this just yet.

I mentioned in another thread today that perhaps having the source code for script-kiddies to start attacking everything might not be the best thing to do at this time. I think it's great to just have a website like this to test the vulnerability. It would also be nice if someone like Google could host the page so it won't get knocked down by too many requests as I'm sure will be happening for the next few days.

And a lot of people's biggest complaint is that HN does not notify you of replies to your comments. I use HNNotify to inform me of replies but it is not perfect. The big problem with HNNotify is that it also emails you top level comments for every story you submit. A less frequent complaint is that you can not collapse threads. Neither are an issue with mailing lists.

I have been with Tonx since near the beginning and love their coffee. A friend of mine even worked for a competitor (regular coffee co.) for a while but I couldn't make the switch due to the lack of variety.

I just hope that Tonx won't lose it's laid back 'drink it how you like it' attitude in favor of the coffee Puritanism I experienced at Blue Bottle a year or two back.

Uber RUSH lets you deliver packages with a mobile app that's probably as convenient as their driver app.

Awesome expansion by Uber. I suppose the same drivers that drive people around will now be driving stuff around too? Probably doesn't even cost too much in terms of new infrastructure. I wonder where they'll go next.

Edit: They actually did mention that the messenger arrives via bike or foot, so they won't have the same drivers delivering packages.
Who would have thought that it was a joke! Let's down vote my original skeptical post even more!

Not to that extent.
Did they specifically mention that it was a car who would be moving the package around? Seems like bike couriers would be a way better option, at least for NYC...

It's not about new vs old books, it's about forward thinking vs backward thinking publishers.

I.e. the story goes like this:

When authors write books, and want to publish them, most of the time they has no means to do it. So they look for publishers to fund that. If publishers are thick-sculled and backward thinking (i.e. afflicted by DRM Lysenkoism), or otherwise somehow crooked, they demand DRM to be part of the deal. Authors might not like that, but they think they have no choice etc. If publishers are normal on the other hand, they don't care about DRM. Crowdfunding often helps to prevent all this mess, and it's starting to play a bigger role in publishing, not just for books, but for other media (video, games, etc.) which also is often afflicted by DRM because of the legacy publishers. Notably, practically no self publishing authors ever use DRM.

As with many areas, old publishers for some reason most of the time are afflicted by DRM. Newer ones - less so. I can't explain the exact correlation, since DRM is really such a stupid thing than anyone with common sense would know that it's bad for business. More than often my feeling is that DRM is used for stupid (Lysenkoism) or side sinister and selfish reasons (covering one's incompetence, controlling technology progress, spying on users or what not).
I'll assume the case you're concerned about is the one legitimately tricky case (where you have an array of structs that include arrays, and you perform arithmetic on a pointer into the inner array), because the other readings I'm coming up with necessarily invoke undefined behavior, either by running off the end of an allocation (what we're checking) or breaking strict aliasing (in which case false positives are OK). Depending on what you do with this pointer (e.g. passing it into a custom memcpy), the compiler may not be able to enforce runtime checks by itself.

This is where we do need some extra help, in the form of a library that holds state for the compiler so that we don't need to instrument our pointers. Nothing in the C standard prevents the compiler from doing this. The library you pass the pointer into may ignore this information, if it doesn't have the necessary instrumentation, but we at least get the capability.

Re: other languages, Rust I will grant. It's the only one of those that's compelling for C's use-cases (Java and C# are both entirely unusable for the best uses of C and C++).
Almost all "quality" coffee is done at a light roast, as the more you roast a coffee the less of the actual coffee you're tasting. Anything you get from Blue Bottle, Stumptown, Intelligentsia, etc. is going to be a light roast.
If the blind test was conducted similar to the one the they did in 2011 then I'd say the results are pretty suspect. http://www.violinist.com/blog/laurie/20121/13039/
Isn't source code basically a configuration file for the compiler/interpreter?

Source code is input, not configuration. Every time you run the compiler, you give it different source code. The whole point of the compiler is to transform source code.

Configuration is "input" that is not expected to change very often, but that the application developer can not guarantee will never change. Configuration falls into a few categories:

1. Context-specific inputs that can not be predicted or discovered automatically by the application. (For example, the DNS zones the process is expected to host - named.conf)

2. Inputs that are not expected to change very often, but should be easy to change if necessary. (ssh client or server settings)

3. For applications with interactive user interfaces, customization and changes to the default interface.

For the vast majority of applications, a text file capable of expressing simple data structures is more than sufficient. Others advocate using only a database, but only to make configuration dynamic so explicit reloads aren't necessary, not to make it more like a programming language.

The source-vs-configuration question is usually only be an issue when dealing with large, complex applications with very general specifications.
In addition to that, it obviously disables the TLS heartbeat extension, which would break existing code that uses it.

A brick wall?
I both agree and disagree with you. The sticky point is "at the time." BASIC came out in 1964, and other programming languages, like Fortran, COBOL, Lisp, and Algol, didn't need line numbers for each line.

I suspect it had something to do with the display technology. Fortran and COBOL were designed with punch cards in mind. Lisp and Algol were designed for research computer scientists; I don't know what they used for I/O or hardware, but I suspect it was significantly more advanced than the line printers that Dartmouth students used.

I think this helped make BASIC a good match as the first micro language a decade later where, as you say, most of those computers couldn't handle functionality beyond a line editor.

I remember putting off RENUM as long as possible, because it forced me to re-learn where all of the useful GOTO/GOSUB targets were located.

"Employees seldom see a big payoff. Period."

I believe this, coupled with demand, is what is driving the cost of engineer salaries in the market today. Equity allocations mean almost nothing to candidates -- as they should.

That doesn't mean you get a pass on offering equity; you just have to match it with a market salary.
Well, I don't subscribe to the idea that old violins are better than anything we can make... but you can't simply compare an adjusted violin to an unadjusted one.
Exactly. The thing is that they offered FREE service. They made no money from it (at least that's how this appears). They didn't shut down the app, they didn't just close the whole thing. They gave users fair few months to move to another service. Even if it sucks that such quality app/startup will be probably gone soon, its still much better than just shut things and run.

I think they've been largely replaced by reddit. Autonomous subreddits aggregated into a single feed instead of separate global subforums, upvotes instead of bumps (that also serve to self moderate), threaded conversation instead of quote trees, reddit is basically just forums adapted for scale.

> unlike forums, people really enjoy mailing lists. I don't think I've ever met anyone, ever, who said they liked forums.

I think it entirely depends on what the purpose of communication channel is serving.

Mailing lists are transient passive participation. I can sign up to a list and never have to do another thing because I use email all the time. Occasionally a back and forth discussion might pop up, but I can easily choose to ignore it by simply glancing at the subject line.

Forums are persistent active participation. I have to specifically access the forum, possibly logging in in the process, to see what activity has happened. Many do enable some kind of email notification with a set frequency. Digest emails lose the benefit of the quick glance decision to attend or not, while all activity would be similar to the mailing list model. As forums can encourage more silo-ed conversations or short disposable responses, getting all activity is generally not ideal, however.
Nope. Native apps are an evolution of desktop installed applications. They came way before the web was in Tim Berners-Lee's headlights.
That is fair; but, my assumption in this situation is that if the musician owned the instrument themselves, they would have been allowed to tune it. Not being allowed to change details may have been a way for the benefactors of the instruments to keep them from being harmed
Currently FT is only used (see SASOL for example) with coal. Why? Because it's more profitable than CO2 to fuel. Making FT cheaper won't change that. It will just mean more companies will turn coal into fuel. Yes you CAN use CO2 but in practice every for-profit company out there will choose coal instead and maximise their $$$.
Ask HN: How can I pay for college?
Hello

I am currently a high school senior and need to commit to a college by May 1st. I was accepted into a number of large universities with great computer engineering departments, but I was denied from the "name" schools (Ivy's, MIT, Stanford) that have the resources to truly cover financial need. My top choice school is USC, as I was accepted into the Iovine/Young Academy for Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation (https://iovine-young.usc.edu/), which appears to be an awesome program focused on exactly the areas I want to study. I was lucky enough to have been awarded a half-tuition merit scholarship, in addition to $8,000 in federal loans. However, that still leaves a $30,000 a year gap. I have some college savings from past internships and a Florida Prepaid savings plan, but not nearly what I need. As my parents currently have no income, I don't think they would qualify for a federal PLUS loan or even be able to cosign a private college loan.

[continued in comments- HN's character count is inaccurate for some reason]
My affordable option would be to go to the University of Florida. Because of my Florida Prepaid plan, the Florida Bright Futures program, and a scholarship I was awarded, I would actually be GIVEN money to go there, at least for my freshman year. However, Florida does not have a partially strong computer engineering program, and I have been told that the department is very theoretical, where as I would prefer a more practical education. (I also have strong personal reasons for not wanting to go to UF, but any economist would tell me that making a decision off of these would be highly irrational.)

So, with the exception of taking out $150,000 in loans that I may not even qualify for, is there any other way I could pay for college? I was hoping to get an internship this summer that could possibly cover part of the cost, but I haven't been able to find one. Are there any programs that offer tuition for a percentage of future earnings? Would any investor want to pay for my college for a large stake in my first startup?

Thank you for any suggestions.
Lots of people are trying, but it's not that easy. You can't get a 457 temporary working visa without an Australian company willing to sponsor you. The hurdles for skilled migration are fairly high (and getting higher all the time) and the process takes several years.

I love forums. I am not crazy about forum software or the inconsistencies between different forums, and often wish for a reliable interface I could use to manage my subscriptions, like an NNTP newsreader or used to do - there are a few mobile solutiosn because many forums are so awful on Mobile, but not many desktop based ones.

I always found mailing lists a pain in the rear to be honest, because the content is usually surrounded by all this auto-generated administrative cruft in addition to the administrative interface of the mail reader itself.

I love what you're doing with Discourse but I wonder if there sin't some selection bias going here.

The client (or provider) has bugger all to do with it. I'm old and cranky, and have hated mailing lists since I was a young 'un. Properly-threaded, searchable forums (preferably locally-replicable) are better in every imaginable way. Plato was able to do it sometime back in the early Devonian; Iris/Lotus (whether you like the Notes client or the default app UI or not) made it easy and distributable in the late Cretaceous. The parts exist to make it workable with FOSS and an open, less-astonishing UI, both connected and local. Neither familiarity not ubiquity is an indicator of quality or suitability, and email threads are just about the worst format that can possibly be forced into service in this sphere. That email was once, for all practical purposes, the only available choice doesn't make it the best choice.

Most of the problems you'd want to avoid could probably be solved if you get rid of the images, and required people to sign up but still post anonymously.

Granted, then it's no longer strictly an anonymous imageboard but in a lot of cases, the images don't add to the discussion anyway.

Still down, going for a Load Balancer. Should have optimized this more :(
This reminds me very much of some studies where audiophiles did double blind tests of various solid state amps against tube amps. Some audiophiles say that the tube amps sound "warmer", maybe they like 60hz hum. Whatever. Tube amps look cool and that is what is really important to them I think much in the same way that it is a huge status symbol to have an old violin. Same thing I think. Not that there is anything wrong with that, you get your inspiration in whatever way works I think.
FYI, I tested herokuapp.com's SSL support. It reports as vulnerable. :(

On the bright side, since such servers are Heroku's inbound load-balancers, individual app dyno secrets in RAM probably aren't at risk. But, impersonating herokuapp.com, decoding its sessions, or viewing fragments of arbitrary other traffic through the same server may all be possible.

Heroku reports they're aware and working on it: http://status.heroku.com
Not quite as good though. The above will let just know whether you have the extension, but not whether you have the patched version, which can also be done from the CLI by using:
echo -e "quit\n" | openssl s_client -connect server.com:443 -tlsextdebug 2>&1 | grep heartbeat

(as suggested someone in another thread here). That will answer Yes to a patched OpenSSL.

The OP's site actually attempts a (mild?) exploit of this.
