That's entirely different. Generics can be replaced by code-generation (C++-style templates) in a preprocessor with no loss of safety, or by boring copy-paste (with some loss of safety :-().

non-static typing is a massive loss of safety.

Yes, I suppose we should all learn to deal with oppressively stupid regulation until world peace is achieved and no one goes hungry.

I really don't get your point. So, if you are 'rich enough' (note: the people in this article are solidly middle-class) to actually maybe be affected by and give a shit which passport you've got, your opinions are immediately written off as 'rich people problems'. On the other hand if you're among the poor in the developing world and your passport is perhaps not something you'll ever think about or care about, then because maybe according to jessriedel you might prefer a US passport to e.g. a French one or a Swedish one or whatever, the US passport is 'the most coveted in the world'. Despite (apparently too rich to count) people giving them up in record numbers.

I'm fascinated to hear other opinions you hold on random shit, if this is any indication of how you arrive at your conclusions. Do tell.
Is there any way to buy Ink & Slide in the UK?
If your walls and balls are both moving, you'll need to do collision detection by making the ball into a capsule (integrate its bounding sphere's position over current timestep) and make the wall into a quadrilateral (integrate wall's position over current timestep). If the ball's path intersects the quadrilateral, its velocity needs to be reflected at the intersection point. When your collision is dynamic like that, your performance isn't going to be O(1), which is what the poster was trying to achieve. You can make it sublinear, but when there are fewer than ~100 objects the speed gain isn't really worth the complexity. 100x100 is still only 10,000 ops, which can probably be done in javascript without performance problems. It's definitely a fun learning exercise though, and it will give you some valuable insight into how physics libraries work.

When should I disclose my hacking convictions?
Hey guys, I appreciate any insight this community can share with me.

First some context: I'm a full-stack dev, on the job-market, interviewing mostly at small-to-medium companies (3 - 50 employees). A few years ago (circa 2009-2010) I made some very foolish mistakes and ended up with 5 hacking felonies. I served a little time, paid some restitution, and got on with my life. I was finally released from probation 2 months ago.

My question is: At what point during a job-search / interview-process should I bring this up? I've tried putting it right on my resume (just to "get out in front of the issue") but then nobody seems to return my emails. I've tried staying mute and waiting for them to ask or mention a background check, but I'm worried that this tactic makes it seems like I'm hiding it or being deceptive.

Is there a best-practice for this? Or is it company-specific?

Lately, if I know that the work might require a security clearance, I'll disclose before the first conversation, just so I don't waste their time. A recent potential-employer gave me advice yesterday along the lines of: "Any small startup who is still raising money might need to know up-front, because of the potential for investors to run background-checks on early-stage team members during a round" - Is there any truth to this comment, in your experience? Would a VC care if I'm a non-founder?

On the other hand, I've been wondering: Is it possible that some small startups never ask about criminal history because they don't wan't to know? In that case, should I just default to being quiet until asked?

Again, any insight from this community would be very much appreciated. I've been going in circles with my logic, and I'd love some outside advice.

Thank you

Show HN: FIFA World Cup RESTful API
There have been interesting developments since the article was written. From Wikipedia:

In November 2013, the family of "Jestyn" gave an interview to the Australian TV program 60 Minutes which was aired on 24 November. On the program, Kate Thomson, daughter of Jessica and Prosper Thomson, claims that her mother had told her that she had lied to police and that she did know the identity of the "Somerton Man" and that his identity was also "known to a level higher than the police force." She also stated that she believed her mother and the "Somerton Man" may have both been Russian spies, noting that her mother was a communist sympathizer and could speak Russian although she would not disclose to her daughter where she had learned it or why.

> What matters most is not precisely when a particular neuron spikes but how often it does; the rate of firing is the main currency.

I'm not too sure about that.

My gut feeling is that at least half of the information in the brain is encoded in the exact timing of the spikes. In a model that takes time into account, certain neurons function as a "coincidence detector" sensitive to certain events.

e.g. your brain deduces which direction a sound is coming from by analyzing the delay difference for the sound input from each ear to arrive to the brain. Specifically, sound-orientation detector neurons read from neurons of different lengths to each ear. You know the sound is coming from front-and-left if the coincidence-detector neuron that has a short lead to the left ear and a long lead to the right ear fires.
AFAICT, this entirely runs on the client. The server just serves some static web pages. Presumably, if you save the static HTML / js / css files onto your laptop, you could use the wiki when you're offline.

Good question. I assumed it was only when using the streaming apps (which I already assumed have some sort of unique signature) but I see they don't explicitly say that it is app only. They mostly just call them streaming services. Only once do they refer to apps when they say: App after app, we’re setting streaming music free.

That would be a pretty macabre experiment. But I would guess that you would still be you, but with the after effects of a stroke. The larger the volume of the cut, the larger the damage.

Why the fuck are there pictures of an open anus and dick?
I wholeheartedly agree, especially with the "unable to read a line" comment the author has.

Perhaps he has never seen the "Lazy" nodejs library which lets you simply do new Lazy(fs.createReadStream("data.txt").lines.forEach(handleLine));

The claim that "other programming languages have ways to read lines" is sort of true in that many do, but they don't do it significantly more efficiently than implementing it as above.

Nodejs certainly is minimalistic if you look at the core modules, but the minimalism does not get in the way of accomplishing the goals the author describes; rather it simply leaves them up to userland to implement (which they have been many times).

It's all about reverse-engineering stuff; my usual workflow looks like:
(1) Complile some Swift program & look at the disasembler listing of it (I use IDA and — for Objective-C — Hopper Disassembler);
(2) Do some changes in source code in the program, compile it again, and see diffs in disassembler listing;
that way I can see what is changed and how.

About the @asmname thing: you can easily dump every default Swift module using a REPL command:

repl> :print_module Swift

There you can find a lot of interesting language lexems and more, so all you have to do is to try using them in your code until you don't figure it out ;)

This is similar to what we are building at UserDeck. We call it Guides and it is a knowledge base widget that embeds inline into any page of a website. It is all Javascript and customizable on the client side with layouts and components which have options which let you change things like a sidebar component to the right side instead of the left.

Any team member can collaborate and edit articles live on the site and we are considering adding wiki type functionality if people are interested.

It's true that you can only handle them in defer funcs, but the defer func could be anywhere up the stack, not just the current function you're inside.

(I'm not sure if that was your understanding or not)

"The panic and recover functions behave similarly to exceptions and try/catch in some other languages in that a panic causes the program stack to begin unwinding and recover can stop it. Deferred functions are still executed as the stack unwinds. If recover is called inside such a deferred function, the stack stops unwinding and recover returns the value (as an interface{}) that was passed to panic."

The ones I see all come from well-established accounts with decent karma. Could be that they were intentionally building up those accounts over time in order to sell out, but I'm skeptical.
I agree they look that way until you start looking at the accounts posting them. That being said a lot of people send newsletters, and a lot of people use MailChimp (we do). MailChimp has been releasing a lot of UI changes lately, including a new editor that tries to accomplish what is shown in the Canvas video, albeit not very well.
I would've realised that the 16 different wall combinations would've fit well into a 4-bit encoding - e.g. 1 for left, 2 for right, 4 for up, 8 for down. That gets rid of the sets and reduces the check for wall existence to a simple AND.

If you have a "wall" only in one tile and not its adjacent one, that essentially creates a one-way wall, which could be an interesting effect too.

I took a stab at using google's n-grams library to look at potential sentences if the code was an initialism.

I think at some students of the mentioned Prof. Abbot looked at the letter distributions and found the highest correlation with an english language initialism.

> More challenging, yes. Riskier, no.

Please explain. Is it that it is more challenging, but in a way that it's not more difficult to get it right (what exactly is the challenge then?) or is it not riskier because the higher probability of getting it wrong does not decrease the probability of getting it right (how exactly do you increase one probability without decreasing the probability of the negated case?)?

Sure it is, but it still is rather obviously not what those posts are primarily attacking.

Which I think is kinda the whole reason for its existence? Performance- and complexity-wise, I doubt that it makes any sense at all to implement the SSH protocol itself in the browser in that case, vs. using a native SSH client on the server.

Interesting chart.

Lots of things to wonder about. For example, it looks like incidence of measles was waning in the decade before the introduction of the vaccine. Exceptions include Kentucky, Tennessee, Hawaii, and Alaska, all of which -- I imagine -- hit some population/transportation threshold that allowed diseases to spread more easily. But the rest generally have incidences that are decreasing, and certainly lower than they were around 1940. Why?

Also, there are virtually no measles cases in 1945. We get light pink in Utah, Washington, California, and Idaho -- and nowhere else that I can see. Of course, any disease is going to have its off years. But 1945 witnessed the end of WWII, and I would think the resulting movements of large numbers of people would have increased both person-to-person contact and mobility, making it prime time for an epidemic. Apparently not. Why not?
Apparently they won't. I can't tell you the number of times I hear "everyone who's important in the startup world says 'shut up and ship' and we'll think about security & BC/DR later", where "later" usually ends up being "after a breach". If they survive.
