I don't know your age, nor do I care. Your comment (and others here) just strikes me as unimaginative and slightly self-aggrandizing; pontification on the value of shared meals and slowing down makes for boring reading. It's fine that you (and I don't mean just you) don't have an interest in Soylent, but I don't have an interest in getting a car, and yet I don't go around posting on Tesla threads about the value of walking and the dangers of cars.

Do you know the Onion's story of the man who mentions he has no TV[1]? That's how those posts sound to me.

I don't have a horse in this race, I'm not in any way associated with Soylent, nor do I even plan to buy a pack. I don't trust it as a meal replacement, and I think their claims are overreaching. I have no problem with concrete criticism, and you don't see me replying to ("attacking", as you put it) people raising valid questions, just those posting just to tell us how much they don't need it and those writing unprovable claims.

And they may be 9 posts (although they were only 8 before this post), but most are back-and-forth with people that replied to me.

That's amazing to me, I had no idea video cams were able to store video on one of the old audio cassettes. I'd always assumed higher density tape was required.
Ask HN: The best way to find remote job
What is the best way to find remote job?
Actually i'm tryin' to find 20hours\week job to upgrade my Node.js(for now i'm .NET developer) skill and learn something new with real life project..
But I want to get some small salary, 5-15\hour will be okey.
So where I can find such jobs?
I think "indifferent" is probably more accurate. The baboon didn't do it out of malice, the idea probably just didn't occur to it.

That actually strikes me as even more grim, in some ways. Nature isn't out to get you, nature just doesn't care at all. It just is.
Yes there is a lot of red tape surrounding certificates, but I was specifically suggesting that the authors of XMPP clients and servers could agree on these 2 alternative CAs.
In the mean time you can use https://factor.io/ for "push-to-deploy" with BitBucket or Gitlab.
I don't see how this would work, unless there are some nice suburbs/towns just outside Detroit, or companies allow a lot of remote work. Otherwise, you'd be hiring, have interested people up until you say the word "Detroit", then never hear from them again. Personally, I'd rather live somewhere I'm not likely to be mugged walking around the corner to the shops.
For point 1) I don't think they necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. If there is a new tech that would be useful to learn for both work and side project, then try to get a chance to learn it on work time.

Not bad. I spent a year as a CS major in undergrad and programming is something that I did as a hobby for most of college and grad school, so even without a degree, I had a pretty decent resume for entry-level positions.
The fog? Computing on the computers themselves? Isn't that basically what we've already been doing since... well, literally since computers were invented?

That said, I don't know if there is a snazzy marketing term, but offline-capable apps with proper syncing support is the best solution for most stuff I want to create and use. I have a super computer in my pocket, so yeah it's nice to have snappy stuff done there, but data kept nice and backed up (as well as dispersed across the rest of my devices) using the "cloud".

Calling it "the Fog" is dumb, however.
Since it is just creating machines for you (i.e., it's created under your DigitalOcean account) can't you just stop paying for forge after you've created your servers, and keep using your DO account normally.
> "A smartphone is useful even without internet."

In principle, I agree but that's not the way things are going. How many apps do you have that have to talk to (someone else's) backend service to be at all useful? For me I can think of Google Maps, Citymapper, Whatsapp and the weather app (just off the top of my head). All these are useless to me without a data connection.
I prefer the phrasing, The only difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

Coca-cola was originally a medicine in the same way the medical marijuana is today though. The "Coca" in "Coca-cola" referred to the cocaine that was in it.
I agree that broader software is one way to surf. I also think writing the automation that puts you out of a job is another way.

Crud is never going to go away but the disequilibrium will, and many use cases will get reduced to libraries or packages.

WebGL "hit a snag" on like 30% of these but the 808 one was magically timed to the tempo of a song I had playing (the tap tempo didn't work, though).
Cool! It seems that other than WebGL, this experiment uses only CSS3 transform. I never thought such a complicated thing can be done by CSS.

Right, that's the relevant difference. Thank you for the explanation. The 'cohort' being that isolated in space and time must have helped. I can't see how soylent green users will be subjecting themselves to the same kind of analysis but that may be another example of my ignorance.
Currently my Instagram social stream is being polluted with all kind of people I don't know or don't want to know thanks to Facebook's social integration. I shudder to think what would happen if Facebook would connect their social graph to a direct and intimate photo sharing service.

Ultimately two things are broken:

- Facebook's idea of what social is does not mesh with how most people see it. They seem to have huge problems dealing with non-public interactions and what that would mean for their business.

- Facebook's product design culture seems to have a hard time breaking out of the Silicon Valley bubble and adding stuff of relevance to actual people's day to day existence.
Too much of a burden to host rms, seemingly.

Before "the cloud" we had a lot of awful flash restaurant websites done by a local contractor with wildly varying quality, functionality, and no ability to order online. I'd say the "the cloud" (the pop-culture and general understanding of it, not specific things like Cloudfront) really has improved this area.

Don't be afraid of asking stupid questions.

My first job out of university didn't go so well, as the office was fairly introverted (including my team lead) as well as smart. Things were not explained to me well, and I felt like I would look stupid having to ask them to explain the same thing again afterwards, so tried to do things by myself.

Anyway, after a while I looked for another job eventually and got one, and decided to learn from my mistakes. Asked a lot of possibly dumb sounding questions, but got along a lot better at the second job.
The remark "You must be unaware of..." was personally directed at me so, yes, I took it personally.

That does not give you license to steal other people's content and profit from it.

I suggest that reading The Prince, or the various synopses of it, should be used for defensive purposes against old school, Machiavellian management rather than using them offensively against the larger, younger workforce.

I find that those who actively use Machiavellian management techniques can easily be disarmed by those who know how to actively counter them. Also, many of the Machiavellian techniques that work great against company-loyal Baby Boomers and Gen-X'ers can be quite disastrous against the Millenials.

For those who just don't like managing Millenials, you better get used to them. There are a lot more of them and you'll be ahead of the game if you can work out some effective techniques for leading them without resorting to Renaissance era tyranny.
I'd say Windows has been a second class citizen for a long time for any of the unix-centric open source languages. Ruby, Python, even node - you're fighting an uphill battle trying to do anything on Windows.

I'm sort of amazed they've made it run at all, the systems are so different. I'd advise anyone trying to run any of these systems on Windows to use a linux VM.
Unfortunately it forcing me to use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari even though I am using the latest Chrome on Ubuntu 13.10. Too bad.
I understand your point. There is a step that compiles python source to bytecode, and it does take place before the bytecode is executed. I just think this is a somewhat pedantic observation. A large part of the value of the language lies in the immediacy of its "interpreted" nature (I'll put that in quotes from now on, thanks to you :)). You run the script and it either fails or executes. In the version of python I use on Ubuntu scripts aren't compiled to bytecode for the first time until they are imported, so other code in the project has likely already run before the compiler would have a chance to review the use of types in the imported module. There isn't a project-wide process of compiling all the files and making sure everything is used correctly before any code executes. Maybe it could be made to work that way, but wouldn't that alter the language and the way it is used? In the end I come back to: is AttributeError really not descriptive enough? You can have the last word here.

The non broadcast part of TapTalk feels limiting at first as a sender but it hugely improves the quality of the stuff you receive.

Snapchat from over here looks like an American fad. The news about how broken their approach to privacy is probably didn't help it much either.
> In fact, effectiveness of caching is arguably main reason for developer confidence to ignore premature optimisation or to postpone fixing probable performance issue until detecting an issue.

Actually caching is only a side of a multifaceted concept. Hence when one writes code, usually one isn't aware of all those different ways one's code is going to be optimized by the environment/setting.
You're still trusting the server. This is only a gain if you were already the one running the XMPP server with everyone you talk to.

With the recent revival of a PDP-1 hitting the news, I was wondering if we're going to see a revival in hand-made computing - i.e. systems you really can build yourself from raw components. It seems feasible to me - an ex-boss once impressed me highly by unveiling a full-blown computer he'd made from some recycled relays, and while it wasn't going to kick any ass in the speed department, it was certainly capable of calculating my 6-year olds' homework.

Would be great to see a kit computer, of this scale of old-school, hit the scene some day .. I wonder if it would be viable? I'd certainly buy it .. it'd fit next to my rack-mount modular synth. ;)
StartSSL-issued free certificates don't work reliably for XMPP in my experience anyway - some clients insist that the CN must be set to the top-level domain name and StartSSL won't issue free certificates with that configuration. I wouldn't be surprised if some XMPP servers had the same issue too.
The cover price is £5.99 (around 10 USD) which seems to be about the same as any other UK computer magazine.

I had a quick flick through to the third issue to get a rough estimate of how many pages of ads there were and...erm, I couldn't find any except an EFF ad on the inside cover. I don't know if that means they're struggling to find advertisers until they're more established but frankly I'm happy to pay a bit more to have more content pages, given the choice.
This is really cool.

Aside from the cool tech, it seems like Google is trying to build on the viral mechanisms that made 2048 so popular - they make it really easy to fork, customize, and launch your own version.

Nice idea, really.
Actually the US government spent quite a lot on the infrastructure. Around '97, I moved from Sweden to the US, after running an ISP there since '93. Since it was an obvious concern I checked and the US was pumping in slightly more per capita, while being ~40% more population dense. So no problem (I thought) - if anything speed and availability will rocket up faster here. However, back there the government kept control of the lines (not entirely unlike US telecom). Net neutrality was kind of a given - obviously the government can't (at least without massive legal changes) give preferential speed to some peoples information directly (i.e. blatant censorship - if you're a private enterprise you can limit stuff like that, not so much if you're the govt). Back home things rolled along swimmingly, the same crew I ran with back then are still online, some of them whining that they haven't pulled gigabit fiber into their areas and have to settle for 100 megabit symmetric. Even before the millennium 10 Mbit symmetric fiber was becoming pretty normal all the way into residences. No one really pulled copper wire for comm anymore really, if a new line went in, fiber. Need to redraw power lines? Throw in fiber. Water? Fiber. Just dug up a sewer line? Throw down some fiber, you never know..

Here? I can get 20 Mbit (5 down) in a fairly large town. Some cities have more, but I've seen none where 50 or 100 Mbit symmetric is considered the sort of "lowest tier" broadband (kind of like "at least it's not dialup"). For only 2-3x the price. Why? Because no one with the peoples actual interest kept the reins, they just handed shit over to the six majors and told them to get building. Why would they, when they're already competing against no one but themselves? Cuts into profit, stuff like that.. So you get to pay more in tax dollars for it, more for the service itself and it's way slower. The same seems to be true for korea (et al, the other fast nations), they're not spending more, they're just negotiating harder with those contracted to build it. Now, Sweden is talking about selling it off (since the whole place is shifting right). Predictably, prices are going up and speed increase is stagnating. Idiots, all of them. The free market rocks for optimizing low entry threshold fields and optimizing already existing solutions. It's horrible at things that are mostly infrastructure based, with high cost of entry and nearly all costs being in fixed infrastructure improvement chunks. Highways, telecom, power, water, etc all work the same - if you want to run them free market style, prepare to suffer until you decide to simply join forces and run it jointly without a profit goal bidding it out in small enough chunks to make actual competition possible.

Well, you could. But you do get other features such easy management of env. variables, scheduling, New Relic monitoring and network handling.

Even if you are just running 2 sites, I really do think this is a great value for money ($10). If they only (as I wrote in my other comment) allowed for alternative ways to push your code.
It seems to me, like the parent said, he's just simplifying a normal process. Sure, if his code was a few lines, and someone deleted a few you could use version control to get them back. On the other hand, if his code was a full fledged program, and the deletions were institutional such that further work was carried on after the deletions making the entire datflow go through different assumptions and processes, it would be significantly more difficult to reinstate. Preserving the dataflow might be done if you're just commenting out a line to test things. But if a whole chunk is straight up deleted, the flow of data will likely shift to be incompatible with the old way of doing things within a couple of revisions of the code such that no version control would help.
Though, glad they removed these useless inspector animations and added the margin/padding/border color shapes around the element.

Thanks for the link to my blog. This interpretation is not just uncharitable; it also does not really back up your argument: contrarily to the student who became a grant admin, the PI decided to pursue in this very same route, building a vast scientific enterprise on the said PhD work... If the to-become-grant-administrator decided to leave it there, this person has demonstrated a somewhat more rational course of action than the academic!

OTR only protects the text content of your messages. It doesn't protect the metadata, or many of the other features XMPP provides from status to file transfers and voice/video calls.

Nope: Windows support in Python is good and well-maintained, afaik. It boils down to attention for neophytes, really, and applications in education... a field where Python has much more mindshare than Ruby or node (IMHO).

2. Bring goodies for the first major holiday/celebration (i.e. Halloween, Valentine's Day) that comes up.

3. If think of things that could be changed or improved, write them down, then sit on those notes for at least a month.

4. Avoid gossip. The best reply if someone says something gossipy to you is a non-committal "Ahh" or "Hmm."

5. Be relentlessly positive. No mention of anything bad going on in your non-work life.

6. Avoid saying things like "TGIF" or "at least it's Wednesday."

I remember in 1982, or 1983, the family was given a 48k Spectrum, with a bunch of cassette tapes, for Christmas.

Unfortunately the tape-player was broken, and because this was back in the 80s in the UK there was basically zero chance of catching the store open and getting an exchange made until the new-year.

So the new computer enthusiasm was killed in my sisters, and I enjoyed myself reading the manual, and typing in examples from it, then later games from magazines, and similar.

That's what fuelled my programming: Typing in code on a ZX Spectrum, then later writing my own in BASIC and then z80 machine code. From there I graduated to machine-code/assembly on the PC, Java, C, etc.

I assume I'd have been curious how the black-box worked eventually anyway, but I do wonder how things would have turned out if we'd had a working cassette player all those years ago.
