I just came here to say the same thing. I remember, way back when, that this felt like the most natural thing in the world: type my password once, and then copy and paste what I just wrote to save myself the effort of typing it again. I eventually figured out why that was a bad idea (possibly after hitting a site or two that blocked copy/paste just like this).

I think it can create problems for some password managers, too: there are at least a few options out there that aren't based on browser extensions at all, so copy/paste is the expected interface.

I've just ran a full rails application. It creates the database etc and then allows you to browse the site.

They provide company accounts. Seems kind of nice to have a full working piece of code working within a few seconds.

I can think of stripe, facbeook or any other company that provides an api.

The only problem with a full working application is that it's easier to miss what steps should be taken.

You just wrote down word for word pretty much how I feel. Fellow Brit.
I'm told not to use easy to guess passwords, so I generate them randomly with Apple's Keychain. I can't possibly remember a random password, so I store them in a text file which I diligently encrypt with a strong master password I remember. Now, if you don't let me paste my passwords I don't have any means to sign in, other than typing a long string of numbers, letters and symbols or picking a simple, non secure password.
This practice punishes security conscious users and benefits no one. Please stop doing that.
Well, if someone does not give a shit about their job, they will be easy to bribe. I don't know about people working in tech here, but bribing someone to get a job, or have something done "off the record" in the administration is considered normal, and often the only way to achieve something due to even courts and judges being corrupt. Corruption is actually one of our biggest problems, and new governments are focusing their campaigns on that a lot.

The difference between SRE, SysAdmin, and DevOps
The set of shared interests of HN members is largely orthogonal to political orientation or affiliation. Discussions organized around those interests tend to produce insights from experience and productive discussion including productive disagreement.

On the other hand, threads about politics tend to produce shit discussions by inviting trolling and encouraging the 'I am this kind of snowflake' which facilitate it at one end of the spectrum and constitute it at the 'I don't give a fuck what you think' end.

This thread is no exception to the political threads produce low quality heuristic.

This bit me in the ass the other day when trying to change my PayPal password (because, you know, the company that owns them can't be trusted to securely manage my password in the first place). So not only could the 32-byte hexadecimal password I'd generated not be used at all, I had to manually type out the first 20 characters of it. Twice. The punchline was that PayPal rates the password as "fair" whilst hindering the best method of making it more secure.

I'm a web engineer at the beginning of my career, looking to keep working with front-end and back-end web technologies, specifically looking to grow with a company.
My view?

Voluntaryist, Libertarian, Panarchist, Polycrat, Anarcho-capitalist and Liber-agorist.

In that order.

Everything should be voluntary even taxes, liberty is the highest political end, all kinds of voluntary government are allowed, and as many rulers as people so voluntarily choose.

I personally prefer no rulers and private means of production in free markets, but that's my very own personal opinion. I respect everybody's opinion on the subject as long as they don't try to impose it on me.

The Blue Card has a salary minimum of 37.128€. That might not sound much, but I'd say this amount is far from "undercutting" entry-level salaries.

The problem with the theories about undercutting wages of "native talent" is that there is virtually no unemployed native talent.

Of course, all Germans believe they are paid too little. The only way wages would rise dramatically would be if employers went into a crazy competition mode, and they seem to know that this would be bad for every employer. Higher wages only serve to "steal" employees from another employer, they don't increase the work force per se.

There is no comprehensive way to tell if immigration lowers salaries, since you can't just add and subtract jobs in the complex system of a national economy. Also, I find it hard to justify any right for "native talent" to shut out "non-native talent". Both are human beings and there is no such thing as a birth-right to higher compensation.

I can only speak for myself in that I don't care. I don't vote, don't watch the news, don't keep up with issues, don't care what laws get passed (I respect and observe the laws unless I was able to do something such as save a life by breaking the law than I'd break some, ie something very important morally), I don't discuss politics, don't get riled up over certain issues, don't care about gay's or abortion or oil or any of that.

I just...don't care. I have my own day to day life to live. What do I call myself? I don't know. I'm more curious how many young people feel the way I do, and what evolution it will have on politics as we age. (For reference, I personally am only 24).

I've been programming since I was 14, and started doing it professionally at 20. I'm currently the "jack of all trades" programmer-and-more in a small IT department for a ~2000 employee company. I've enjoyed incredible flexibility to learn and implement different technologies in my current role, but unfortunately, I have to begin looking elsewhere as we're quickly losing our autonomy to our enterprisey parent company.

The approximate responsibility split at my current job is 60% pure software development, 20% devops, and 20% networking. I absolutely adore C#, but since it isn't as vogue as I wish it was, I should mention that I'm almost as fluent in several other languages. I'm proud of having a well-diversified set of skills, and if my "keyword soup" resume piques your interest, I'd love to have a more in-depth conversation with you.

I'm tied to the area for family at the moment, but I'd be happy to spend a bit on a coworking space and work remotely.
Oh yeah, "Files" and "Software" are the opposite end of the spectrum. I'd prefer "Zizoj" to "Files" anyday.

Just went to look up the etymology of Kodak, and found this gem:

"Towards the end of 1887 photographic entrepreneur George Eastman was preparing to launch his 'little roll holder breast camera', which he believed would prove popular with the growing market of amateur photographers. In order to promote global sales he wanted to give the camera a snappy and distinctive name that would be recognizable in any language. After experimenting with various combinations of vowels and consonants - aided, it was said, by an anagram game set or possibly a bowl of alphabet soup - he hit upon the name 'Kodak.'

It may have been a made-up word but the prominence of the letter 'K' was not purely arbitrary - Eastman confessed to a liking for 'K', partly because his mother's maiden name was Kilbourn but also because it seemed to him 'a strong, incisive sort of letter.' His first public use of the Kodak name was in a letter to his patent lawyers on 28 January 1888. Four months later, the first 'original Kodak' went on sale and proved a runaway success. The tradename was registered in the United States on 4th September 1888 but when Eastman tried to do the same in England, the Comptroller of the British Patent Office requested a letter explaining the derivation of the word. In response, Eastman confirmed that
'Kodak is not a foreign name or word; it was constructed by me to serve a definite purpose. It has the following merits as a trade-mark word: First. It is short. Second. It is not capable of mispronunciation.
Third. It does not resemble anything in the art and cannot be associated with anything in the art except the Kodak.'" (http://www.darklanecreative.com/blog/the-meaning-of-the-word...)

Also: Asked about the name "Kodak", George Eastman replied,
"Philologically, the word Kodak is as meaningless as a child's first 'goo'—terse, abrupt to the point of rudeness, literally bitten off by firm and unyielding consonants at both ends, it snaps like a camera shutter in your face. What more would one ask!" (http://askville.amazon.com/origin-word-Kodak/AnswerViewer.do...)

Beautiful stuff. It's really hard to put together a universal rule here- there are certain general principles, but the exception can make all the difference. I think it's ultimately a matter of taste, and a sensitivity to language.

You make almost twice the median for developers in the US, so I'm not surprised that you make twice as much as some of your friends (and more than twice as much as me).

To be honest, I had no idea such salaries were to be found in web dev, especially by specializing in popular JS frameworks. Thanks for sharing! I'd be curious to know your location and how much experience you have in Angular. [update: Oh, I see you posted 1.5 years in web dev.... wow, maybe I should reevaluate things]

Google is 15 years old with almost 50,000 current employees. Of course it has done evil things. Now, don't know of a coherent widely agreed-upon definition of evil, but once you get to that scale, there is enough human behavior going on that some of it will be evil for pretty much any definition.

The lack of a widely agreed-upon definition of evil is a problem for Google though. That word gets thrown around enough that "don't be evil", really only means "Don't use 'we're a for-profit corporation' as an excuse to do something egregious."

If there's a common political strain here, it's a misplaced faith in technology and data analysis to solve the worlds problems. I often read comments like "we could solve education if we only tracked teacher performance better," or "we could fix the labor market by giving kids computers and teaching them to code." HN people have watched one to many TED talks.

The other strain I see: A belief that "disruption" is always good, and every industry is in need of it. Dangerous if you ask me.

Only read the abstract, but Godel's work is pretty well known. He was not interested in showing a "flaw" in the Constitution, but in showing the logical systems of sufficient complexity are ALL either incomplete or or inconsistent. The Constitution is only an example. There aren't any political implications to this at all.
Cool! I've been hoping to see more wiki/knowledgebase type static site generators.

I will admit that I fear for its longevity though. Any particular reason why you decided against building on top of something like assemble.io or wintersmith.io? Probably would have gotten a lot of functionality for free.
It seemed to me that the linked design removed the entire contents: "Hydrostatic pressure then creates a siphon through the central column, causing the entire contents of the cup to be emptied through the hole at the bottom of the stem."

It works remarkably well in almost all conditions except in cases of human tragedy. Then it's usually more tasteful/appropriate to be sensitive. (But if you're willing to go there, you could say that seeking pleasure, seeking love, seeking glory, etc are all variations of self-amusement/utility-seeking.)

(Of course, anything that explains everything explains nothing, but fundamentally the point is that life is absurd, and we'll have to acknowledge that- I think it was Albert Camus who wrote extensively about it in The Myth Of Sisyphus.)
Hot desking is the new thing

I visited a place that was a giant room of ~100 people working. No one had their own computer, instead you just sat down and whatever computer was there and started working. The guy running this insanity said they re-image all the machines all time taking settings from one of the machines that has been in use. His theory was that over time everyones preferences would merge.

It was interesting to see and a little frightening. Right off the bat the noise level would have turned me off. I asked how hard it was to hire and he said interviews are held in the room with him or another senior person pair coding with the candidate.

I had known about that, but I never had realized until re-reading that article that it now runs at 4 watts rather than the original 60 watts.

I'm still impressed totally, but I must say that that factor dampened it a bit for me. If planned obsolescence is really non-existent in that industry one wonders how long a modern low-wattage bulb built for endurance could potentially last.
Congratulations! Work hard, and remember this if you ever find yourself going through a rough patch or taking things for granted. Kick butt!

Don't encourage this way of thinking too much. The gnome folks seem to think "hot corners" are awesome because they are easy to hit with a mouse. The problems is that they are also making something that looks like a touch interface, where the corners are awkward if at all possible to hit. Not to mention they lack visual ques. That said, the w95 start button probably should have extended to the corner.
I agree that the Who Wants To Be Hired thread is valuable and helpful. I was a bit late to the party, but I still had 4 companies and 2 recruiters contact me, one of which turned into an on-site interview at a YC company. I would definitely love to see this thread continue to be posted every month.
