I'm not judging morally, even if stating that it's a good way "to evaluate men" makes me uncomfortable.

Still, is it legal to write down this in the US?

EDIT: rephrase
Ah, you're correct about this:

echo "hi" | grep "bye" ; echo $?

Further, he would arrange it so that mission milestones happened on colleagues' birthdays or anniversaries, just because he could. What a guy.
Mojolicious for one doesn't have the dependency tree of Catalyst, this is kind of against of the Perl mantra of don't re-invent the wheel.

That said I favor Mojo over Catalyst for almost every project these days, it's very easy to work with and quick to prototype an application using the 'lite' mode.
That is a solved problem for all of the teens at my kids' school. It is solved by having the account tagged to the parents' credit card.

Few teens abuse it. Those that do tend to get hell from their parents (controlling the children's behavior is the parents' job, not Uber's!). But in other situations it is fabulous--late nights, alcohol, etc.

But then we also have a standing deal with our kids: call us anytime of the day or night, and we will come and get you. No questions, no comments, no judgment. It works.

Disclaimer: rich city, private school.
Well, mojo seems to try to escape catalyst's dependency hell by providing everything by itself. That's considered a pro or con depending on the view point. The websocket integration is definitely a plus.

Yup, just like all these OpenSSH bugs:

Seriously, stop buying into all the hype generated by heartbleed. Things will simmer down, and it's doubtful libressl will replace openssl anytime in the next 5 years as the standard default ssl lib for many things.

I do not buy into OpenSSL devs not wanting bugfixes.

Where are the public rejections/closures of submitted fixes? There aren't any. There are just assumptions that they wont take certain patches, or submitted patches waiting for review (how about you jump in and help review?).
Some investors are getting quite desperate to get 'ring-side-seats' (pun intended) to the YC classes:

"I meet an angel investor who admits he gave to the Crowdtilt to butter up CEO Lauren Kay so she’d accept his money. “With these Y Combinator companies, sometimes so many people want to invest that they end up turning down money,” he explained. He’d given money to the Dating Ring to secure the chance to give even more money to the Dating Ring. He wouldn’t tell me how much he invested, but did mention a desire to buy an airplane."

And how about this:

"Today’s daytime activity is a picnic in the park. I find Lisa and tell her it’s time to do as the San Franciscans have done since before the dawn of personal computing: get high. She goes to Dolores Park to seek weed from strangers, while I return to the hotel and initiate a texting phone tree. Twenty minutes later, as a white guy with dreadlocks is dumping vegan brownies onto the bed, there is a knock on the door and the Nightline film crew is standing there with a camera and a giant light. “Just a minute!” I shout through a crack in the door. When the dealer exits, I wonder if Nightline thinks I boned him."
I really like Dockers logo, its cute and it works perfectly for a system that let you manage, and "ship containers".

Solve the problem by making the list of acceptable behavior so small that you can remember it?
Since I don't have deep pockets I shan't name the vendor, but it started out with us taking delivery of a bunch of blades where our blade supplier had changed the NIC from one vendor to another. We discovered we had repeatable problems with J2EE cluster traffic over UDP - we'd see packet loss rates go to absurd levels as we ramped up load on the cluster, leading to a situation where a node dropping out and then rejoining would cuase the cluster to lock up trying to bring the node back into the fold. We could repeat the massive packet loss using UDP test tools. Rather ugly.

Coincidentally we had a visit from the CTO of high-performance storage vendor who happen to have a bunch of kernel hackers on their staff. We mentioned our problem in passing and he explained how they'd nearly lost a major contract because a deployment had moved thei customer from being storage-bound to initially untracable data loss. Digging around by their kernel hackers showed the NIC was losing data. After a certain amount of too-ing-and-fro-ing the vendor moved from denying the problem to admitting that their silicon had a defect that would throw away data under load, and their Windows drivers tried to spackle over the problem. They were relying on no-one being able to drive enough load through the card to cause a problem.

This dovetailed with our experience, and we found that installing a different manufacturer's card in the blade let us work around the problem. Our blade supplier moved to a new NIC vendor subsequently.

A Zone object could be a "subclass" of a Promise. It's something I have considered but I didn't think it'd be necessary for the first release.

> But Promises already provide asynchronous try/catch blocks

They do, if all you use is modules that return promises, and the node ecosystem currently has many modules that don't. For example:

zone.create(function MyZone() {
// Within MyZone
setTimeout(function() {
// Within MyZone
throw new Error("Oh noes!");
});
}).catch(function(err) {
// Back in the parent zone.
// Handle the error here.
});

The above won't work with promises unless you use a promisified version of setTimeout and return that promise from the constructor function.

Conversely, with zones, chaining callbacks is hard to define conceptually:

zone.create(function MyZone() {
// In MyZone
}).then(function() {
// Which zone are we in?
}).then(function() {
// Which zone are we in?
});

But if you have a great idea here, bring it on.
Why would they break opening links in new tabs? Whyyyyyyyy?
Something that's interesting about this data is that it measures speed end-to-end. So if you are an ISP that gives out flaky WiFi routers, your score will be lower not because of any limit between YouTube and the ISP or the ISP and the CPE, but because of that "last meter"* between the access point and laptop.

* A new term I'm coining for this :)
Experiment Infrastructure at Airbnb
I wish I could give this more up votes. I felt exactly the same way (though you put it more eloquently than I could).
Completely disagree. I don't care how popular his kernel is; his communication style is ridiculous and the fact that there are so many devs that have no problem working for him isn't a sign that his communication is good.... it's a sign all the people working with him don't realize, or ignore, or accept his ridiculous behavior and is just an example of why the tech industry needs a communications/social relations course for a lot of engineers.

> So as USA has a slightly greater female population the best practitioners of anything, say, will be female?

Is all else considered equal here? Obviously not.

As for the rest, any results are guaranteed to be biased and I have a hard time seeing any meaningful purpose (other than discrimination of course). Not interested. Have fun with it, try not to hurt anyone.
This program is going to fail, for the reason outlined in a couple of sentences, that are possibly the most important sentences in this entire article.

"...which is a blessing, since gossiping about dates is more fun than actually going on them."

"We’re doing shots! This will be great B-roll!" I scream...

Arranged matches are fine and have been working out fairly well for hundreds of years. But when one of the parties is more interested in making some sort of production out of the experience than in finding an actual relationship, the program is going to fall flat. They would do much better getting female participants on a volunteer basis, preferably not from a large metropolis, who are more interested in finding a relationship than in making a "B-roll".
While I like how you thought that through, the last innovation I expect happening any time soon would be with a bank.

Also, I can imagine a child being coerced into "Im scared and need a ride, approve this transaction" into being robbed out of that next transaction....

Ah, I only looked at the Incorporation Page. Oops. :)
This sounds more like the plot of a reality TV show than a y-combinator company. It's definitely exploiting people, and reading the article made me feel dirty and a little sad for society.
No, that's just that comment. And in a way that's a solution too, if his individual on-topic comments are unbanned.
while i don't agree in part or in whole with your statements, it may very well happen that the way human race has been doing it is not viable in the long term and thus we'll be succeeded by the other species who would do it differently.
For the average person, that was only a realistic scenario for bestsellers (Joy of Cooking, The Shining, etc). For all the less common long tail[1] books, there was nothing comparable to the internet + amazon.com.

Maybe some discussion of book readings/reviews on dialup USENET forums before amazon.com but again, that's a channel that only computer enthusiasts bothered with. All the C/C++ books I read were simply the ones that happened to be on the shelf at WaldenBooks, Bookstop, Borders, B&N. Even the hardcore magazines of C/C++ Users Journal or C++Report would review maybe 1 book an issue.

amazon.com has expanded my exposure to long tail books more than ten-fold. There was no comparable dissemination of worthy book reading ideas before it.

This didn't happen in a "professional" setting like PyCon, for one thing.
In Canada, "engineer" is a very specific title that refers to someone who is licensed as a professional engineer, including all the degree requirements, testing, vetting, etc. that go along with that. It's quite similar to "doctor" or "lawyer" in that way.

To call yourself an engineer you need an Engineering degree from a qualified institution (4 or 5 years), at least 2 years of apprenticeship (effectively), and to pass a difficult examination.

They're not typically huge fans of people who haven't done those things calling themselves "sanitation engineers" or "software engineers" instead of "janitors" and "programmers". The argument I usually hear is that it undermines their profession; people can hold the work of an engineer to a particular standard. If suddenly I can say "oh, I'm a software engineer" without anything backing that up, it damages the reputation of "engineer" if I behave poorly.
Respectfully, this is nuts. You consider it a problem with 'set -e' that, if someone runs your script via

% bash foo.sh

then a '-e' on the shebang line of foo.sh will be ignored. That's a more general issue, separate from -e. You can say users who do that deserve what they get (not unreasonable IMHO), or you can use a 'set -e' within the script. But don't say it's a problem with -e. It's actually a problem with running command interpreters on arbitrary files.

I can't read any more of these examples. I think you need more experience with shell, or maybe we have incommensurate approaches/expectations.

I'm not of the view that using bash/sh in itself is a bad choice. There are lots of problems that it's well-suited for, and I myself use sh scripts a lot (with a linear flow that can go on for hundreds of lines). In particular, I don't think python is a good replacement for my use cases.
I think he means "tolerated by the public/any reasonable readership." Several articles come to mind (particularly an op ed about gender roles from Fox News some two years ago) in which readers become outraged by something they've read. This is usually followed by a flurry of other articles in which the offensive piece in question is condemned. I think he means "how are people not more disturbed by this piece." Though perhaps OP can weigh in and explain it better.
Terry's case is closer to home than I like to admit. I have a loved one who deals with schizophrenia (fortunately, currently better managed than Terry's seems to be, but there are no guarantees). I hate the thought of her being ostracized because of her illness.

However, I still voted 'no', and it's because, while being ostracized is bad, being repeatedly beat over the head with negative responses to his comments feels even worse to me. At best, it could serve to cause him to feel worse about himself; at worst, it could worsen his illness.

Be well, Terry.

One downside is that it reminds me of the "fail whale".
It would help to have a bit of context. What do you want this idea to become?

Are you creating a free we site which will earn some money with ads? Are you trying to create a monetized, profitable service? Or are you trying to become a venture-backed startup?

I think this has great potential as a site monetized with ads, which you could run as a lifestyle business. But without a clearer monetization strategy, I don't see this being viable as a venture-backed startup.
> It feels like not too long ago a couple guys lost their job for making a joke about dongles and forking. I fail to see how that was worse than this.

That was Joe Schmoe male developer, who it is acceptable to fire for the slightest of reasons, including making an innocuous joke that wouldn't be out of place in a K-12 classroom. The men who are the customers of this startup are the rich guys in Silicon Valley who are awash in cash and cannot be fired.

The two are worlds apart, don't be under any impression that they mix in any sense whatsoever. Unfortunately, the first group (Joe Schmoe) is squeezed to the max by policing by interest groups like "Geek Feminism" and suchlike. Notably, Geek Feminism seems to have a neutral/positive approach to this Dating Ring thing (http://geekfeminism.org/2013/12/30/happy-new-linkspam-30-dec...) -- the company is referred to as "Y Combinator's first all-female company", and no negative comments.
Slightly easier fix that doesn't immediately require a trusted middleman: swap pieces of paper after committing that anyone who doesn't reveal loses his stake in the company for 0.
I guess "I volunteered to travel to California to date tech guys" isn't quite as catchy.

I'm moving to SF in August, but reading articles like this makes me want to stay put. I know YC is just an incubator in the end, but I really wish they'd advise their companies against sleazy stunts like this.

I feel like all of these ridiculous startups are forgetting: just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Really? It makes me a little sad when people that "aren't single and aren't the target market" think that things should be banned.

You make a very good point. I like the solution offered below with selective re-enabling of the comments.
IMHO your way is better because the bids will be more genuine.

The parent way can be gamed: the loser may benefit from deliberately bidding a bit higher than they would otherwise to force the winner to pay more.

(Although you can argue this both ways, and auction theory does, I feel like this quirk could create animosity)
I've used Mojo for a personal project, and Catalyst yeaaaars before for a simple project I forget.

I haven't used either well enough to compare, but I will say that Mojo seemed very easy to get started with, and I say that as someone who pretty much hates modern web development.
I hate to be that guy but if this is even close to satire it's a pity because sex trafficking is a serious issue (including in North Dakota and I'm sure in California as well).

This is not without precedent:

February 3 [1849]: The Raleigh Register runs an advertisement for women to go to the Gold Rush and get a rich husband, titled "A Chance FOR A LADY." Other efforts to encourage women to go to California include Mrs. Eliza Farnham of New York's attempt to organize a ship of intelligent women over the age of 25 to sail to San Francisco to meet miners. Editors in the east praised her efforts, but the plan failed.

Yes. I didn't mean "allowed" as in some governing body handed down a decision to allow it. I've seen huge uproar over (what I see as) pretty minor things compared to this. Yet this seems to have rolled on happy without that. I don't like to use the F-word (feminist) but how are they managing to not explode in anger over this. I truly don't get it.
Why you should care about Price/Market Fit early on
I disagree. Even if you are a couple of commits behind, and you totally screwed, you should be able to recreate it from top of your head. maybe a couple of local git hooks, but still, if you pushed, the most important work should be available somewhere else and you can pull it.
Business cards are obsolete.
I think the issue here is that it's easier to forgive understanding who he is; a random passerby (or simply regular visitors who skim) wouldn't know and would see a community that effectively is condoning that behaviour.

FWIW, I voted unban. I think that would reflect positively on the community, but I worry that from the outside it looks negative.

The scary thing about only having 30k/yr is the lack of a real safety net should disaster strike. I've been there and it's perfectly doable, but I'm quite envious of the people I know with a few million in assets. Hopefully I'll be there soon. :)
I have a sublime project that I store all my notes in with everything organized into subdirectories. I use git to keep track of changes I make to my notes.

Ctrl-P let's me search via file names, Find all within the project directory lets me flip through the entirety of my notes. Works fantastically. I'm sure with CTags or some such plugin you could get really serious with this, but this suits my needs perfectly fine and is simplistic yet powerful.

Robin Hanson has a forager-vs-farmer mores system useful for analyzing this sort of thing. Industrial systems bring back forager mores; high tech just blows it all to heck.

It makes me think more of the women headed by Frances Farmer's character (Strawberry Alice) in "Unforgiven." And therefore seems sad.

It sounded fun, honestly. Props to her for getting her own medicine too. That's the one thing I always cringe at - when an SF date off craigslist, often an out of town person passing through like a stewardess, wants a hookup like that. I don't keep any on me, so it's always a pain in the ass catering to that need.
Ask HN:  "Invisible" Internet presence – technologically feasible? 
I've read dozens of papers on how to "anonymously" connect to the Internet, and be "invisible". However, each has fallen short of the idea of a truly invisible presence by offering examples of well-placed network lies as the cloak of invisibility, rather than by pure virtue of being a specific type of (as-yet-undefined) technology, then being unseen and untraceable as a connected net (non)presence. In other words, Tor shouldn't even enter the conversation proceeding the question, or even Summary-Invisible Networking (SIN).

So is true network invisibility possible? How do you bypass handshakes, or get information without actually asking for it? Where in the OSI model can one modify/hack/make a new way of interaction that is no longer visible, traceable; has no footprint? From the Application layer, Presentation layer, Session layer, Transport layer, to the (especially) Network layer and Data link layer, and finally the Physical layer - what would be required to create an "invisible node"?
