Ah yes of course, and the portion that I quoted didn't include this tidbit which I guess is what I was actually thinking about: “What the investigators we’ve worked with so far have been able to gather is that [the thieves] were exploiting not the pcAnywhere credentials, but a flaw in old versions of pcAnywhere,”

Then again old versions of SSH are probably equally vulnerable.

It would seem that there is no substitute for having a real root who has responsibility for the system, though perhaps the comment from nuxi7 is a simple way to engineer around part of the problem. Sane defaults or in this case an explicit lack of defaults could be useful.

My exact use case was the following: the user clicks a bookmarklet that passes the current URL in the browser as a query string parameter to a URL shortener script. The validation is then performed before the URL is shortened.

In that scenario, and with the given requirements, I can’t think of a case where the validation fails. There’s no need to worry about protocol-relative URLs, etc.

(Keep in mind that this page is 4 years old — I very well may have missed something.)

> If you really want your URL shortener to reject bad URLs, then you need to actually test fetching each URL (and even then...)

I disagree. http://example.com/ might experience downtime at some point in time, but that doesn’t mean it’s suddenly an invalid URL.

> As an aside, I'd instantly fail any library that validates against a list of known TLDs. That was a bad idea when people were doing it a decade ago. It's completely impractical now.

I suggest comparing this...umm... shallow attitude with this example from a very different end of the economic spectrum (which was a link I found here on HN late last year):

http://tressiemc.com/2013/10/29/the-logic-of-stupid-poor-people/

Type of job and income level seem to independent of the problem of gatekeepers (petty exercising of local power, often over superficial traits such as the current popular trends in apparel).
So far as I'm aware, yes that's true... There is some theft but I think not so much the pervasive professional theft that seems to be an issue in some other places. The sort of giant bike lock which is pretty much standard equipment in the U.S. is something you almost never see in Japan....

When people lock their bikes at all, it's mostly with very simple locks, thin cable or just a sort of built-in thing that stops the wheels from rotating. That's enough to discourage very casual (or accidental) theft.

I guess partly it's cultural, but also compared to the modern U.S., I think expensive high-end bikes are less common in Japan, so maybe bike theft is also less profitable. [Though I have seen obviously very expensive carbon fiber road bikes and the like just locked up in an alleyway with a thin cheap cable lock...!]
Try describing what you do instead of labelling it. "I'm building an app that helps blind folks read".

Personally, I'm allergic to the word 'Entrepreneur', whenever I hear it I wince. Just say what you're building, plain and simple. I also wouldn't call myself a Web Architect, I don't really understand what that means, it just sounds fancy.

Also consider not giving yourself a title at all. If you really want a title, I'd go with something humble like "a guy who builds stuff on the internet".

Speaking without specific knowledge of the junction you mention, but with 20 years' experience of urban cycling, my observation is that this type of accident is usually a function of cycling too close to the curb. I've learned to move a foot or two further out into the street when approaching an intersection where cars are likely to turn right, and the effect is that drivers will tuck in behind me to turn rather than overtaking.
There are a few aspects of this and I can only talk from the point of view in healthcare in the UK.

In the care settings Apple has been able to pull at the hearts and minds of care providers and I’ve seen a pull from doctors about making use of apple hardware (and software) whether it has a use/or is a supported platform.

If Apple went for the care settings market they could very easily disrupt the incumbents (in the same way that they did with portable media and the mobile phone) because it quite frankly isn’t that hard. There are many examples of a technically superior product [0] gaining market share in a short period in healthcare and a technology company could easily do that.

However in practice I’m pretty sure that EHR (and care records in general) are going to move to a patient owned model. This would probably mean some provider outside actually owning and storing the data but patients being mindful of their right to have access to general data (not only have access to but act on).

Things that patients could quite easily take from the care settings and make good use of are blood work, actual infection names (most infections result in antibiotics prescribed without the patient being told which organism it is), height/weight, all of their vital signs etc.

In terms of HL7 v2 — it’s not ideal however it is super lightweight — XML (i.e. HL7 v3) is not a good fit for high throughput transactional data (outside of healthcare see BSON, protobufs etc.) HL7 v2 largely suffers from issues around interpretation. There’s a great initiative called FIHR [1] which could help a lot when it comes to CCD.

Kings College Hospital have opened up their HIE [2] which uses a few off the shelve open source components to make working with HL7 very easy.

[0] EMIS/INPS vs TPP in the UK comes to mind. The TPP product pushed EMIS (and more recently INPS) to really up their game.

Yes. I agree with you. The post is great but the conclusion is weak. I believe, a lot of this Culture constructo comes from marketing needs. They want to have a nice IstockPhoto start-up for investors.
I tend to agree that defrauding data is not so much of an issue. After all, filling in a survey does not require too much effort or equipment. Cherry-picking the data and biases are the main issues with some studies.
I have noticed this myself at a few places I have interviewed and after the 2nd or 3rd time you can kinda smell it. Most of the time the company is just a bunch of 20-somethings running around with their heads on fire, working ridiculous hours because they have no idea what their tech stack is supposed to actually be, all the while getting paid almost nothing for wasting their best years in a monoculture bubble.

Best thing you can do is just avoid those places like the plague. There are places that are run by grown ups and I don't mean people older than 20-something but people that are mature enough to understand what diversity and culture really mean. Places where there is a balance between work and personal life and where people don't pretend to be in a frat house because it is the only way they know how to handle themselves.

I think the only reason those cultures persist is because they are extremely cheap to maintain from a capital perspective and you can have 10 of them running in parallel to increase your odds of hitting a jackpot and getting acquired by google or facebook and raking in some nice returns for your investors which by the way are way older than 20-something. So if you look at it from that perspective it is all about maximizing returns from an investor's perspective and the rest of it is just-so story to keep the pipeline of 20 year olds churning. I think there are some nice parallels between virgins waiting in heaven and million dollar acquisitions. The tactics being used to exploit the minds of the impressionable are the same in both scenarios. The insular cultures that result from those tactics is just a natural byproduct.
Not much, there'd be nothing to connect it to. Hopefully you brought some docs and/or connector cables to keep ya busy.

That's a bit of a big generalisation...

I live in the third largest city in Australia. Much of it is ridiculously hilly, the weather is usually stinking hot (apart from a few weeks of 'winter'), but we have plenty of cyclists... Not as many as the average European country but definitely enough to be annoying when you're driving!
When I lived in Berkeley, I used to longboard part of the way and take the BART the rest. This transit experience is unmatched. I had half an hour of guaranteed reading time every day, and another twenty minutes in one of my hobbies.

When I drive, I suddenly realize what a waste of time it is. And it's not really fun because of traffic either.

I actually miss public transport. I also imagine that cyclists do similar things. The trouble in this argument is that maybe the cyclists also enjoy cycling like I did skating. To most people who solely drive to commute, it's a thing they don't particularly enjoy.
This is a bold statement.

As someone in the tunneling industry, I disagree.
I'd like to add as an example the city in Europe I live in. The reason my city doesn't have public transit coverage in Google Maps is that they seem to have an exclusive deal with a local public-transit-route-finding company. I get it that business is business, free markets, etc. but this is clearly a suboptimal solution for an end-user. The website they give their data to is not bad, but Google Maps are clearly, objectively, better for both locals and tourists.

This is not a thing that can be changed overnight. It takes decades to update the city infrastructure, but the city planners can take small steps in the right direction each year.

With defers and named return values, it is actually possible to alter the return value inside of a defer. I had to do this recently to properly log an error (to abort in the calling code). Also to do with database operations of course:

Like right and wron I think we are looking at more greyed versions of conspiracy

- idealistic - will choose the "right path" as a differentiator or ethical choice

- conspiracy - consciously works with others for a purpose known to be wrong.

But inher wren those we have at least

- cock-up - whilst intentions are good the implementation fails

- head-in-sand - while the going is good and the consequences are not clear (but obviously not good) ignore and follow the common herd. This seems to be the majority of the financial crash, and is a regulatory fail not a conspiracy.

You might think, but a few years ago, but when credit was crazy cheap in the UK and they were just throwing credit cards at people, I had friends who would go through this process each time they were picking up a bar tab. The credit card company won't let you go over your limit and don't forget just a few years ago there was no easy way to check your limit other than waiting for the bill or calling the company.

I wouldn't be surprised if many people in the service industries still see this type of multi card roulette daily.

I can imagine if the clerk did report his concerns, he'd likely be told they were good customers so why rock the boat....

>compare TM and LC

You can, but Turing already did such in 1937 and showed equivalence of expressiveness. :p

>The types themselves are not (programmatic) objects at all—they're merely the "objects" of the category.

Do you mean 'programmatic' in the computational sense or categorical sense?

Because, I was referring to the fact that every program (morphism) also has an equivalent function type (internal hom). Function types are objects within the Category as well. :)

>If you use set comprehension to deal with the components of your category then you might end up with a Russel's paradox.

It seems that this paper is using a set-theoretic comprehension for the concepts. Although, you could consider 'more powerful' constructions like Universes.

I know a lot has been put into the study of LCs and I have nothing against studying them. I just have a personal preference to use other 'methods' to study computational theory. :p
This is good advice. Personally, I call myself a "founder" or "co-founder" over "entrepreneur."

For in-person interactions, whenever someone asks me what I do, I always just say I work for a tiny company that does XYZ. If they pursue and ask what I do for the company, I say I bounce around doing a bunch of things (which founders do).

There doesn't seem to be much in this article that would discourage me from usually wearing sunscreen. There is this:

> “There wasn’t and there still isn’t absolute evidence” that supplements are bioequivalent to sunshine.

which means that I can't necessarily get away with just vitamin D supplements. Other than that, the article hardly emphasizes Australia's stance on vitamin D supplements, only that right now only dark-skinned people are advised to take it. But they don't say if people were advised to take supplements when avoiding the sun, which might be a crucial thing to do if they were to avoid the sun altogether. So I can't be sure if the vitamin D deficit was due to lack of sun exposure, or mostly due to one-sided marketing (avoid the sun, but don't do anything else to compensate).

Last summer I read a chronicle by a doctor that said that 10 minutes of (naked) exposure was adequate. There was a lot of fuss about getting enough vitamin D.

> People regularly exposed to daily sun have a lower risk of getting melanoma and also have a higher survival rate if they do3 because regular sun exposure protects against burning,

Well this doesn't actually seem to apply to someone who is mindful of the amount of sun exposure he gets. It is of course more sensible to have a little exposure over time to the sun to build up a tan than to spend spurts of time in the sun and risk getting sun burnt. But that doesn't really apply to a person who might be very careful to put on sun screen when he is spending more time in the sun.

> I used to think this, but Go changed my mind. Like Go or not, its an excellent example of awesome tooling.

It's awesome tooling now. Most of the Python standard library was awesome when it was written. My concern is that it will stagnate as time goes on.
Every bigger intersection has a similar system in Munich. Works pretty well. But in Munich (and Germany as a whole), the road-hierarchy is "the weaker one is right", thus car drivers must be very careful not to run over pedestrians and bicycles.

When you take driving lessons in Germany, an essential part of it is how to handle traffic around you. There are many intersections you need to watch out for pedestrians and bicycles, when turning left, and the hard part is, sometimes bicycles drive faster than cars!

But when you have a lot of bicycles, this also gives room for new ideas like mobile repair services: http://www.startnext.de/en/harryandmarv

The Middle East is in Asia as well. Do you refer to, say, Israelis and Saudis as "Asian"? I gather that the terminology varies.
Some people just enjoy being the other side of the fence. Think how many hackers do similar work 'for free' without being able to turn their hacks into cash. I guess many of this people also get a kick out of taking on something so huge and powerful and 'winning'.
The German scheme works well at major intersections, but creates a new danger where small side roads cut through the bike lane to join the major road to which it runs parallel. At these minor junctions, I had the experience that drivers on the side roads would often pull right up to the major road, without paying much attention to traffic on the bike lane they were crossing. Everything is a trade-off. The best long-term strategy, of course, is to reduce motor vehicle traffic.

Note that the SuperFX may have been a nice trick from Nintendo, but Sega was also on it. That's how they did Virtua Racer on the Genesis/Megadrive (using a RISC processor included in the cartridge as well, but a standard one, Hitachi SH-1 if my memory is correct...)
No. Can't do AT&T (hate them). Can't do Android without the play store (no apps).

We had built a Virtual Reality gaming system for them called Super Visor that would've been awesome, but instead they canned our project - which was full colour, had head tracking and 3D texture mapping - and released the ill-fated Virtual Boy in its place."

Wow. If Nintendo had come out with a good VR headset back then it could have had a huge impact.
> but I wasn't impressed with Star Fox even at the time as an 8 year old boy.

Same here. I was more impressed by the execution than the graphics. Most of Atari or Amiga games could do 3D at least as good as Starfox (and PCs were quickly becoming far superior at that, too), so the SuperFX chip seemed like a nice gimmick that could not really live up to its reputation.

The Metro system outgrew what it was circa 1980 and hasn't really caught up with itself. Everything used to end at Embarcadero and there were no loops or crossovers, so station platforms were simply labelled "Downtown" or "Outbound." Then the lines started going beyond Embarcadero starting in 1998 with the extension to Caltrain. Then we got the T Third Street extension in 2007. At that point the old convention stopped making sense, and I completely agree with the confusion.
|| and && operators in C-like languages are "short-circuited", i.e. (true || predicate) just returns (true) without evaluating (predicate). This is a form of lazy evaluation.

As a 38 year old who doesn't need to be hired:

I am infinitely more useful as a programmer now than when I was 18. I started when I was about 6, I had put in my 10,000 hours by around 18. I lacked so much.

I play on-line FPS to relax after a day of coding, I get to see the speed at which young people operate, and how they operate. It is limited.

It is hard to remain flexible as an adult, we can fall into the many 'slowdown' traps of ageing. If one doesn't, one can 'kick ass'.

Any community who thinks youth is exclusively valuable, lacks wisdom.

IMHO A combination of 80% experienced and 20% youthful energy appears to operate as the perfect catalyst for powerful progress.

I didn't realise SV was like this, what a shame.
As a person who is hovering between a tmux+vim setup and rubymine, I find vim rather convoluted. I was hoping vim was going to be my goto editor, as I was looking for something which was multiplatform, and was a polygot platform ( the one thing I really do not like rubymine for).

Maybe it is just me but the idea of having to go from one mode to the other to use the standard navigation keys seems like a strange thing to do. Having to hit ESC (now I have CAPSLOCK remapped) also seems rather inefficient. On top of that having to find the right plugin to install also drove me nuts, then no intuitive short cut keys and normal vs visual mode again.

Now I did like vim because it was a console app, and with tmux I could run many terminal windows in the same session. I just do not know if vim is right for me or I haven't spent the 10,000 hours mastering it yet. I am sure I will get there with more practice.
