For me react does one thing and does it well introducing clear architecture focused on composability.

Angular has some fair parts (testing, resources) and some really convoluted and what's more important bug ridden parts (directives and scopes).
Stripe is great if you want to build it yourself but when you start doing more sophisticated things, multiple pricing plans, tiered pricing, fixed-terms etc your development team will have to spend a lot of time building these tools internally.

BillForward also aims to provide more infrastructure around metrics and general management of subscriptions.
I actually found his appearance in this video rather charismatic. There was clearly a divine light within this great luminary even at that humble point in his exceptional history.
Seconded. Logan is class act. It's great to see Lyft doing well. They are a nice contrast to how Uber operates.
Evidently, if they make you use French accents on words long since naturalized in English.

I have at this point in my life read so much about education, enough of it about the high end, that though I imagine William Deresiewicz's book is interesting, I will not read it.

because both violate Occam's razor (and both stem from very specific treatment of superposition). Like in the above mentioned "imaging by entanglement", a closer look at the experiment always reveals explanations for the observed effect without necessity to involve the "magic" of entanglement.
GCC stagnated until it received competition froom LLVM (clang). something similar seems to have happened to C++ the language itself, and i think viability of competing languages has played a large role.

Another angle is that many social security systems and other benefits are tied to your actual salary, not your bonus. This affects unemployment benefits, severance, pensions, etc, and it's easy to forget that during good times.

Also, words are wind, and your employer can claim as much as he likes that your bonus is a super-duper-sure thing, but unlike an actual salary, it can be revoked instantly for no reason, and you have no legal recourse.
When a telco hired me (they were the owners of the portal I worked for) I got, as a gift, a book with beautiful maps detailing where their fiber network, down to street corner level. I called it the Modern Terrorist Manual.

With that book in hand (and I don't know how many copies were actually made) any resourceful bad guy could knock off about 60% of Brazil's phone and data network.

Your comments may be true about most end-user forums, but it seems that "Ask Patents" really is different.

Firstly, from the help page:

"Ask Patents blocks dangerous applications by alerting the US Patent Examiner of record when good Prior Art is found for an application that he or she is examining."

Secondly, the site contains examples of patents that were rejected with the site's help. You can search for questions with the [rejected] tag:

"The rejected tag is used on patent applications and patents which have been successfully narrowed or rejected by the USPTO after having been the subject of a prior-art-request on Ask Patents."

When we search for questions with this tag, we see text like "This Patent Application received a Final Rejection by the US Patent Office! The rejection was based in part on prior art found by Ask Patents community below!"
What is HNs opinion about new gTLDs?
I agree with you, setting expectations is an art.

However, I am ready to go above and beyond at any position I am at for my own personal reasons, so it won't be much of a stretch, just a taste of what's to come.

Good point, though.
I've seen it widely mentioned, but most of the commentary on it went along the lines of 'take that, health Nazis!', as if this was the culmination of a years-long effort by Smokers Against Ebola.

I've been playing games since 1885 when I got my first home computer, and Apple IIe. Don't mistake my words as condescension; it's disgust and anger at the revolting behavior of these 'gamers' and embarrassment that I (and other decent human beings) am in some way involved with them.
I have actually started making a game as a side project and was looking for a game development/design counter part for HN.
They simply ask what is your previous salary and offer a 5-25% increase. You skills are simply a pre-requisite, but they don't define your starting salary. Depending on your risk appetite and potential background checks one can lie and get a fairer deal (the firm is always protected since they have a notice period).
Curious - why did you feel the need to start your comment like that rather than just saying 'I'm happy to see Lfyt's years of efforts in improving transportation paying off. This is so much better to hear than Uber's tale of one-upmanship.'?
Help fight Ebola from your home (Humanitarian OSM)
I suspect you may not have played many of the recent adventure maps, or played Minecraft for extended periods of time. It has been incredibly successful - despite the blocks, which you just accept after a while - at inducing a suspension of disbelief.

I agree, VR is about the perception of being "in" a space, and the interactivity and mutability of the space provided by Minecraft is better[1] than basically everything that came before it. This interactivity engages (and distracts) the player's attention, and because our focus is limited[2], stuff like "graphics quality" can become less important. Better tech can help, of course, but no matter how good the graphics and sound are, finding that you can't open a door because it was only part of the "painted on" scenery can rip you out of the illusion. This problem of having an environment that "reacts properly" is exactly what Minecraft tries to solve.[3]

Also, I fully agree sound is very important, and watching people freak out HARD (in ways similar to the way some people freak out when using the Oculus) simply hearing a subtle sound effect. The "creeper" in Minecraft is well known for this effect.

[1] "better" is subjective, of course, and Oculus is very good at what it does. It's too bad about the facebook acuisition, because Notch obvious recognized the power that Minecraft with Oculus would probably have.

[2] Simple demo of what I mean ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKCT-simmBo ), and a better explanation by Apollo Robins regarding how it is exploitable ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0k2gja3ym4 ).

[3] The "blocks" are part of the way Minecraft tries to solve interactivity. Violating your expectations breaks even the best illusion, and it's easier to believe you're in a strange cube world because it simplifies the the problem of making the environment self-consistent.

Thanks for the description of your workflow and the reflective thinking about your journey to get there. I was just looking at both R and Julia for similarity distances earlier today and thinking about which might work better in an automated analytic application. Your post convinced me to go take a look at complearn.org

What is your sense for how it compares with kNN or hierarchical clustering at the clustering level or with various statistical distance measures like Euclidean, Manhattan etc. at the raw distances level?

Is Owning Overrated? The Rental Economy Rises
Unless you fly or are muting HVAC or server room sounds, I haven't found that noise-cancelling headphones are superior to isolating (close-backed circumaurals or in-ear monitors). NC doesn't work well for voices, and the extra expense tends to put them into "I'm too paranoid to keep them on my desk" category.

I'd save the $$$ and just go for a nice pair of isolating ones.

I've also become a huge fan of wireless headphones for the added mobility--I switch between a few different computers and monitors, and not wrapping myself up in the wire is worth a slight hit in the sound.

Sony MDR-10RBTs are an excellent model for the price, hella light and comfortable, don't leak much sound out or in, and sound quite decent with Bluetooth AAC/AptX enabled (I listen to rock, metal, industrial, pop, dance, rap--can't speak much for classical, jazz, etc.)

(As a Ukrainian)

I wonder what kind of secret nation-building activities could US be engaged in? Last events that raised the patriotism level were annexing of one region and bringing deadly unrest to another and both had come from the same world power. I can't see the other 2 tearing us apart. Not that they had to. People are shifting towards West even more thanks to east neighbour's aggression.
On sitkack's recommendation (see my comment history) I'm currently reading through Rick Booth's "Inner Loops". It's another dated classic that may be useful when used in combination with other more modern resources. Some of Booth's explanations micro-ops and superscalar dispatch are great, although it would be difficult for a beginner to differentiate what still applies today from what doesn't.
Depends on the ESPP, no? The one ESPP I had was pretty nice: the shares were offered at a (double-digit, percentage wise) discount of the lowest share price at either the beginning or end of the purchase period. That effectively guaranteed a profit of at least the discount (more or less).
I bet this is true of most public performances. Ever been to a big sports match? The crowd reacts as one. Concerts too. It's pretty spooky, the bigger the event the more the crowd seems to be a hivemind.
I guess that's when you hope you're not in the US, and get someone to inject you with a fatal dose of morphine.

Hopefully they will be able to extend and extinguish as well, so that the so called "open web" (that is actually pretty much closed to different languages and technologies, unless you are willing to use crap-trans-pilation crutch like Emscripten) or at least WebGL will die as it should. All the best to Zynga!
by the way your students might like jasymchat.com, it is a mobile web app for jasymca..not as capable as sympy but ideal for undergrad work...shoot me a message if you have any thoughts.
If you have the free cash to tie up in an ESPP, I generally think they are worth doing. They usually let you buy shares at a 15% or so discount of the lower of the price on the vesting date, or the price on the initial offer date. This is typically over either a 2-year or 6-month look-back period, although I've seen other time periods as well. Some programs even let you automate that automatic-sell rule.

So... if you're playing it conservatively, you can just sell the shares on the day that they are granted to you, thus realizing a guaranteed 15% increase on whatever percentage of your salary you can put in the program.

There is some risk that if the company goes bankrupt, you could lose the amount invested. But I'd guess that ESPP programs are pretty senior in the debt pool, and generally management doesn't want to piss off its employees any more then absolutely necessary during a bankruptcy proceeding.
I've been contemplating a new site with a .media extension but I'm not sure if people in my market will think it's a mistake/typo.
"Let us be quite clear: if Bitcoin was a cheaper or more efficient transaction method, for-profit organizations such as large payment processors would have forked it long ago and would likely already be using it internally in order to shore up their margins."

This is quite a presumptuous lede. Bitcoin itself has only really been around for 5 years, and of that only entered the public consciousness for about 2. Large payments companies are like all large companies; they tend to be slow, bureaucratic and have to deal with internal politics to get anything done. On top of this, Bitcoin solved a long standing problem in computer science that many people believed was not solvable (Satoshi's original post on the cypherpunk list received a lot of skepticism when it was first posted). No large company would have precipitously risked their entire technology stack on something so unproven. Even Gavin Andresen is careful to say Bitcoin is still "in beta". And only now are some large companies starting to accept bitcoin in payment, which is a much weaker step than replacing their internal payment infrastructure. This stuff takes time, and this cycle of optimism and pessimism seems to repeat itself with every revolutionary technology:

T1. New technology X is going to change everything and the world will be amazing!

T2 (only short while after T1). Nothing has changed, the world is still the same, X is a failure.

...

TN: Whoa, we use X a lot now.
Everybody sells their now-worthless miners for scrap and the difficulty falls to a reasonable level.
Or I could just skip all of the convenience and regulatory stuff that will have to be built up around bitcoin to make them mainstream usable and just continue to use US Dollars which already have all that infrastructure in place.

Using bitcoin for currency as a whole (IMO) is almost like a misguided application rewrite -- sure, at the beginning it has all these advantages of being light and nimble and having limitless possibility, but by the time you add all the stuff users actually want/need back into the system you wind up pretty much right back where you started with the old heavy app, perhaps with a shift of power behind the scenes (from the old architect to the new architect, if those are different parties), but nebulous real advantages for end users at the end with a lot of transitional pain in between.
Google password ignores case for first character on mobile
THIS ONLY WORKS ON YOUR PHONE, not in computer version of chrome

go to accounts.google.com (or gmail.com, etc) and type in your username and password, but change the case (aka caps/not-capitalized) of the first character, and see that you're still able to log in! this only happens for the first character, and im guessing it's because phones often change the case (eg, auto-capitalize) of the first character

again, this does not work on regular desktop web

"Once we have decided if we want to modify our schema we can perform an incremental rollout across our cluster. I will cover this more in another post." - looking forward to that.

So, maybe a toy example but I can see the query included a join. Curious how you guys clone enough tables (and their keys) to troubleshoot things like that? Seems like it gets a lot more complex than the example suggests pretty quickly. Wondering if you have neat tools for that.

>'Our Windows guys were still working on restoring the master Active Directory pair and DFS cluster TWO DAYS LATER even with a DR strategy in place.'

I'd be overjoyed if I never had to admin Windows again, but it's a bit unfair to frame that as an OS comparison.

The most basic of direct from TechNet 'best practices' would reduce the impact of a failure of that sort to minutes.

That said, that sort of failure not at all uncommon. Further, I expect such disasters would happen far less often if an existing, poorly implemented Microsoft environment could be remediated into something better as directly as anything unix-like.
Basically you can hit /mysql clone for any table and it will make its way to an isolated db for the user running the command.

It would be cool to be able to pass the script a query and have it clone all the tables.
This. All these companies running "apprenticeships" (nice marketing, bros) are no better than the jerk off corporations running internships without pay. If you want to work for free, do it for yourself and create some side projects, at least you will own those at the end of the day.
> HN, which implements more and more mechanisms to ensure consent

Huh, I'm one of the people implementing mechanisms here and have no idea what this refers to. Nobody's trying to ensure consent. It isn't hard to dissent on HN.

People who behave inappropriately enough to get banned on HN often choose to believe that it was all because of their noble bravery in standing up to insert-evil-caricature-here. To examine one's behavior and make adjustments takes a bit of work. It's easier to play the hero and make dark insinuations about censorship and groupthink.

But perhaps I'm wrong. Would you care to link to comments that got you banned because you spoke up? Let's take a look.

I'm one of the many HN users who has had to examine his behavior and make adjustments toward civility over the years. I still struggle with this. That's part of being a good citizen here. But it has bupkis to do with consent. It's about being considerate to your fellow users. Disagree as much as you like, just don't do the online equivalent of elbowing someone in the ribs and your odds of getting banned go to near zero.

Even if that's all wrong, Slava's article was about courage to speak up in the face of real costs. What does getting an account banned on an internet forum cost a person? It's not even a mosquito bite, so any courage at issue here is trivial.
Great advice in here. I'm always surprised by how many web apps send me a friendly, personalized welcome email from a "do not reply" email address.
>This will destroy the interference pattern of the "yellow" photons. That is why the beam is sent through NL2

why do you need interference pattern in situation when the imaging beam is sent through NL2? Sending the imaging beam through NL2 causes it to transfer the image info into the yellow beam formed in NL2 (the red beam heats the crystal and excites the crystal's atoms which affects yellow beam formation) and thus makes all the discussion of interference and entanglement moot and unnecessary. The other yellow beam can be just discarded as the yellow beam from NL2 alone is enough to produce the picture.
> pro-russian government was illegitimately overthrown

1) That pro-russian government was corrupt as hell (as Putin's government is). You can google photo proofs. It's not a secret really for anyone.

2) Is there a way to overthrow a government legitimately? Neither fair elections, courts, or referendum were available

Is it propaganda when I'm stating Russia annexed the part of the foreign state and want to do it once more?
Thanks for the kind words. To allay your concerns, Cloud9 isn't embedded at all; it's just the recommended environment if you don't already have something set up. Anyone who already has Ruby installed, has a favorite text editor, and knows how to use a command-line terminal can still follow the tutorial as written.
Relational databases are a more general-purpose solution, so have received far more attention historically and have already matured far beyond the NoSQL alternatives. NoSQL gets press because it's different from the mature alternative and so it's interesting, but it's also very niche in comparison.
I believe I understood your comment [0] as saying more-less "bitcoin miners work to maintain blockchain security; monetary reward is just thrown in to sweeten the pot", which would not be true because the miners only care about that monetary reward. After re-reading the entire thread I now think you just wanted to say something like "miners get paid to keep the blockchain working, the same way e.g. plumbers get paid to keep the plumbing working", which would be something I of course agree with. Therefore, I apologize for arguing against a point you didn't make in the first place.
