Europe isn't financially situated, nor does it seem to have the social stomach for it.
I think expanding horizons beyond technology is a really important key idea that you've stated.

Programmers that are learning more mathematics, music, painting, or a scientific discipline beyond computers really expand their available set of symbols and motifs - creative ideas then emerge from that soup.
Article lost me here:

"But [C++ is] not as easy to use as languages like Python, Ruby, and PHP. In other words, it doesn’t let coders build software as quickly."

Anyone who is proficient in C++ can write code just as quickly if not faster than most other languages.

It's like saying knowing Spanish is better than knowing German because you can communicate faster in Spanish. It's an insult to the German language.

With the comment deleted above, it is difficult to place the context of yours. However, the following is probably relevant/insightful either way:

Judge William Petty wrote that the negative reviews in question were not protected by the First Amendment because "If the reviewer was never a customer of the business, then the review is not an opinion; instead, the review is based on a false statement of fact ... And 'there is no constitutional value in false statements of fact.'"

I believe it totally counts. I learned so much about database relationships from the Django docs.
For cardholder not present transactions there's 3D Secure[1], which sits in the middle of online transactions. Customers fill in their details on the merchant's site, then redirect to a service run by their card provider which asks for some form of authentication that only the provider knows about, and then a token is passed back to the merchant which can be used to authenticated the transaction.

Much as in store transactions which aren't conducted with Chip & PIN transfer liability to the merchant, online transactions without 3D Secure will also transfer liability, giving merchants a potentially hefty incentive to verify the customer's identity.

If you sent that many resume, you are not targeting well enough.

Best old advise is to network: get to know people in the area through meetups, local events.. and ask them for more contacts. It's harder but more focus.

Unless you want freelance route, then site like elance.com would be best to start.

The only difference is when you click to log in, your browser is briefly forwarded to a google.com server that then forwards you back. That, and it's much better for security.
Thanks for the feedback!

I did state in my article that it was review, that was my fault. It really is stating the reasons why I was returning the device and I'll make an edit for it.

It didn't read that bad to me, but that's a perception issue. There's a lot of Windows / Apple bashing from fanboys so the tone of these articles can be preceived extremely negative when I'm just stating my feelings/aggravations.

Again, thanks for the feedback, always good to get see how others view it =)
'kids today'[1] have quite a lot of representation outside the concentrated city centre - usually city centres have a higher-than-average age. Cool, SF is tiny, compact, and riddled with public transport. Now travel down the coast a bit to greater LA, 20 million people of which have poor access to public transport and live in a very spread out city, limiting the utility of getting around via musclepower. Rinse, repeat anywhere you have spread-out suburbia with poor PT, or outside cities altogether..

A 160 GB disk is not a real comparison for enterprises. XFS really starts to perform better on disks 1Tb as well as 8 cores and above. EXT4 really starts to creak when moving to filesystems that are 16TB and above. Something that is going to be common in the 7 years that Cent-OS 7 is around.

Of course with the amount of backports of patches that any RedHat kernel has the comparison to mainline version numbers is almost useless :(

For my workload the performance difference is 15% better for XFS than EXT4 on the same 3Tb of SSD with the same workload.
Works beautifully with NoScript installed, so I'm definitely a fan of individual HTML pages; although, admittedly, the experience would probably be nicer with AJAX.
I've been using Twilert for at least a year now, and it works fairly well.

It should be noted, though, that the basic functionality that Twilert provides -- email alerts when a particular word or phrase appears in a tweet -- is pretty trivial to roll on your own using the Twitter API.
Well... we could use a robust and well-established web of trust based infrastructure, but only weirdos like me go to key signing parties :-(

I'm going to be 32 and have recently started teaching myself Ruby/Rails in the past couple of months. I get it, one of the biggest insecurities I have is wondering if I'm too old to get the job I want.

Like you, I obsess over the things I've been learning and finding that this is bigger passion than many things I've done in the past.

Just keep learning and keep working on things. It will happen eventually. I have much more to learn but I am just learning now that I need to stop worrying about an age and just go fort he job that I want because it will happen.
No, but mainframes can be extremely slow.

I remember being very surprised when I discovered that mainframe capacity is sold in units of MIPS (millions of instructions per second). Like, you literally buy capacity off IBM by the megahertz. They don't really get faster because there are so few suppliers of this kind of exotic hardware nowadays, and it's hard for the banks to port it all to more modern platforms because the original code is often so obscure and only understood by people who are retired/laid off.

And that's the best case. I've heard of at least one bank that has a job running on their mainframe where nobody can find the source and nobody knows what it does, but they're too afraid to shut it down in case it breaks something.

XSLT isn't a document format, its by design a domain-specific programming language designed for use in transforming XML documents to other formats.

> Adding <xsl:if> makes it code, horrible, horrible code.

Its supposed to be code. Now, if you want to argue that its horrible code, that's another issue, but complaining that XSLT is code when that's the whole point of XSLT is, well, missing the point.

CentOS 6 had Upstart, right? Which is likely to become deprecated due to the fact that Ubuntu is also moving to systemd.

Sure, Red Hat are the ones pushing systemd, but some disruptive change away from Upstart was inevitable.

Germany does not have full sovereignty and won't, ever, until a Peace Treaty is signed and ratified. America won't allow that to happen because then it'd have to pull out all of its troops - and in case you didn't know, Germany is full of American troops and other military-industrial resources.

Germany is, at most, a puppet state - a model for what America had hoped to pull off in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and so on ..

The English solicitor who a lot of people have been linking to has used the word "interrogation" for this stage of the Swedish process, which sounds more accurate.

Although that's not something Americans can easily understand due to our Constitutional right against self-incrimination; if we tell the authorities to stop questioning us until we get a lawyer, they must stop, and when it comes to a trial aspersions cannot be cast on the defendant for asserting this right. As I understand it the reverse is currently true for the latter in the U.K.

As for "rape", per U.K. law "offense" 4 equals it, and in general, in US law it would also count as "rape" (we've got at least 52 legal definitions of that word, for D.C., the Federal government, and each of the 50 states, so I can't make a definitive statement).

"Offenses" 2-3 are apparently "sexuellt ofredande"; while obviously the first word is rather easy to translate, per Wikipedia the two words have a wide variety of possible translations, as I note here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7989290 "sexual molestation", "sexual assault", "sexual misconduct", "sexual annoyance", "sexual unfreedom", "sexual misdemeanour", and "sexual harassment". Ugh.
Isn't oil on canvas obsolete?

Pixel art (and pixel-based graphics) may be obsolete in the sense that you no longer need to work within the constraints of large pixels making up an image.

But content creation is still not vector based in many scenarios. And even if vector-based graphics would be the universal standard, pixel art could still be used as an art style or for a retro look or to invoke nostalgia.
There are double standards at work here. If BNP is guilty of funding genocide, then what happens when Somalians stop being able to afford food because the last banks stop routing money there? This is already about to happen in the UK where the last bank is trying to lose their Somalian remittance business and being blocked by a lawsuit filed by immigrants.

Not to mention that the government handing out these fines is responsible for far more devastation than any bank.
OSM is still so irrelevant that the spammers and scammers have not targeted it yet.

Keep in a mind that only a century ago did people begin to have the free time to even dream about what exists in the heavens. Science fiction was radical because it was asking the "What if?" questions.

It is still very much the case that Houston has no zoning laws. That does not, however, mean that there are no neighborhoods with their own zoning rules, i.e. home/property owners association regulations and other land use restrictions. However, because there are no overall zoning laws, the restrictions only apply to the immediate neighborhoods that have the H/POA.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just watched "The Internet's Own Boy", the documentary about Aaron, and it is positively incredibly how many projects Aaron created or played a critical role in creating. An unthinkable shame that he left us so soon — one can only imagine all the things he had left to create.
one problem is that some people, including myself, object to assigning probabilities to facts of nature

What do you feel you gain from this philosophical objection? Is there a difference between a "fact of nature" and a one time event that has already happened? Consider a coin flip that has happens a light second away. After the flip, but before the result has reached you, much like a physical constant, isn't it also 100% heads or tails but just unknown to you? Does it change from being a probability to a plausibility at the time of the flip?

(asked with ignorance but genuine curiosity)
Actually that's normal. People overestimate BTC volatility because the price goes wild during periods of intense press interest, and so of course there's a big population of people who are only paying attention to Bitcoin during these times. In quieter times when the media spotlight is elsewhere the price usually settles into a somewhat specific band and stays there until the next press cycle.

Duckduckgo does something similar. They use the rulesets provided by HTTPS-Everywhere. Not sure how Google is doing it. Maybe if a site redirects to https, and also has HSTS configured, it would be pretty safe to return HTTPS links instead of HTTP ones as search results.

Nothing much changed.
When I write scripts, I often need to execute programs written in different languages. Writing such scripts in a languages like Python and Ruby is very clumsy.

Whereas the scripts I write in Ruby tend to rely heavily on a bunch of gems that add enormously to startup time. These scripts also often end up as stages in a pipeline executed from bash.

Fork/join shared-nothing parallelism is also very easy to do in bash, and is how I normally use more cores to get jobs done more quickly.
In Google's case (as in your example) it's incredibly easy: money is generated where a human being (a user) clicks on an add and thus generates ad dollars. If a German user clicks on it, money is generated in Germany.
It's the same with physical sales. If a customer buys something (from say a Chinese company) in France, then money is generated in France.

That's one of the best user experiences I've seen for explaining a service to new users.

The very first thing I saw was a clear sentence explaining exactly what Twilert was and why I should care. If I were the exploring type, I could scroll through a lot more, but the big "Try it now" button was inviting, and it delivered just what it promised.

The UI for trying out a search was actually fun, and the live preview feedback was fast and confidence-building. I knew where I was and where I was going, thanks to the breadcumbs at the top, and every step delivered a clear value exchange as it led me down the funnel.

By the time I reached the point where I could authenticate with Twitter and start using the service, I'd been shown what Twilert was, how it worked, and what I could expect. You hooked me in.

Expertly done. I'm going to use this as an example for others who want to know how to lead people from awareness to engagement smoothly and quickly.
You forgot the part about zero overhead for those 2 devs and the business as a whole.
> Generally, to finally provide my personal take, I think that Harper is dead right so long as you consider programming languages to be "means of expression". I think that's an interesting POV on languages generally and it's not totally at odds with the more everyday POV that languages are "tools for creation".

That's a very concise way of putting it. My personal issue with a lot of what Harper writes is not that it's technically wrong per se, but it only makes sense if one is discussing programming languages purely from first principles. Harper seems really taken aback by the popularity of Haskell compared to SML in the functional programming space, and yet can't seem to wrap his head around the reason for the adoption is not so much about having ideal PL semantics but the fact Haskell has an industrial-strength cross-platform compiler with meaningful answers to modern problems ( FFI, concurrency, package management ). Haskell is rather unique in that it has a community that seems interested in building a language as both a "means of expression" and "tools for creation" and we've made some compromises between the two, no doubt. A lot of Harper's comments ( and many PL theorists ) seem to completely casually gloss over the gritty compiler engineering as if it's just beneath them, and that guys like SPJ and Simon Marlow are just wasting their time working on faster runtime systems and optimizations when he thinks they should be working on foundational "Holy Trinity" problems.
Did you read the first paragraph on the page?

"Update: Some of the example tests on this page no longer work (I don't have a Facebook account anymore and the Twitter URL I used went offline). The technique it's self is still alive and relevant though."
Fair point. I should have explained the context better; this is for "500 Lines or Less", the fourth in the Architecture of Open Source Applications series, aimed more at new students than professional programmers, so separation of concern serves a pedagogical, rather than practical, purpose.

In a couple year's time, Web Components, Shadow DOM, and Object.observe may very well make application of this size not requiring AngularJS anymore, just like the "no tool at all" document.querySelector replaced jQuery.

I'd be happy to revise the chapter once a suitable polyfill exists for today's browsers — pull requests welcome, too!

I always wondered about this, but now it's obvious: google doesn't make sure those business info are accurate, it might have a huge cost to verify those info, for example asking for some paperwork to check.

openstreetmap, on the other hand, seems much more trustful on this, since it's moderated a little like wikipedia is.

I guess if openstreetmap was more popular, you might start to see similar problems described in that article.

I'm sure even governments would not want to give the data of businesses opening/closing for free.
Because people get sick of misleading page titles. It is obvious that the title was chosen just to get you to the page. However, the implication of the title is that Google destroyed this business by listing its hours incorrectly. I agree with
vdaniuk, the article does not support the title assigned to it. There is substantial evidence to support the position that the restaurant died for reasons other than the incorrect listing of hours.

I realize people choose page titles that are meant to grab your attention, and I don't have a problem with that in general. It just gets tiresome when the article does not discuss what you were led to believe it was going to discuss.

I do understand that at the heart of a foreclosure there is someone who lost their home, but by and large these are 'mortgage meltdown' foreclosures. There is negative equity in the house (its worth less than the note on it). In every instance I've seen (but acknowledge that isn't all) the original purchaser is no longer making payments (either they can't afford it or they choose not to make payments on a house that is worth less than the mortgage) and so the original purchaser is just waiting for the loan forgiveness. They are going to get that out of the transaction no matter what.
I'm wondering if this would get out of control as your company grows.
