Ok now I'm curious (as a westerner living in thailand) - are you talking about vomiting, or the other end?

In either case, I can't work out how specifically thai food would make you do either consistently.
i'm not sure if that would work with him, but i will give it some consideration.
... and of course, in Lisp you can embed other languages in terms of their syntax trees, so the composed language problem goes away. Your HTML just looks like (html (head ...) (body (h1 ...))) or whatever; no "language box for HTML" needed.
This is the most important thing anyone has said on HN this week, and inside of it is the reason that it does not matter what Heroku charges.
The issue with escaping is that the inner language might have escape tokens of a similar form. Though if they're mechanically inserted, I'm sure _some_ sequence of characters will be obscure enough to be confident of lack of conflict (except maybe for APL). Something like $@#/></!* might work.
thanks, i will definitely update my resume. i moved 800 miles for this job, so there's an extra layer of frustration there, too. i don't want it to have been for nothing.
ha - that's a good point. i hadn't thought of that.
Germs Are Us (2012)
Yes. I'm running ZFS on Linux and while ZFS is really great it's not really good integrated in the kernel and sometimes pretty unstable at least in my rather esoteric scenario... Despite other claims FreeBSD suffers similar problems.. (https://clusterhq.com/blog/complexity-freebsd-vfs-using-zfs-...). Other problems are that jails are fine but there is no disk I/O limitation possible...

I've also thought about FreeBSD and while pkgng is really great it's a similar problem.. I'm stumbling upon bugs or untested things and I'm unable to contribute time to fixing them.
this is my first job in the industry, and i've only been there for less than 3 months. i'm afraid i won't be able to find another job with my experience.
Places like Yelp who have many reviews from the same person should be able to curve the reviews onto a common standard. At least they should be able to say that a 3-star review is, e.g., +1 sigma for this particular person.
Petalpete - the comment above refers to pre-ipo sales of employee stock.

A bunch of private companies that hit billion dollar valuations let employees sell some of their shares. That person is claiming that those sales allow employees to sell 10-15% of their vested stock.

Of course, if they do that, they still keep the other 85-90%.
thank you for the link! if i had the experience you guys were looking for, i would absolutely go for it.
ugh, i would imagine not.
Under the Devices headings, most of the sample queries have "null/no value" as the most frequent type of device in adverse events reports, which isn't a positive sign for the data integrity.
Unfortunately `std::optional` did not get accepted for C++14, because it's implementation uses some hacks that are undefined behavior by the standard (but work on the major compilers).
You're right. The idea is that each note of the scale should fall on a successive line or space on the staff, and the "convention" of having keys be only sharps or flats falls out from that (hm, why? I've never thought about that). So for diatonic chords we spell them with those same notes of the scale as well, of course. Some scales even have double flats or sharps!
i am quickly adopting it as my general policy, too. i'm tired of the insecurity, neediness, and negativity that accompanies that mentality (along with the things you mentioned).
The first time I learnt of fork (from an OS book), the example had three branches to the if statement after fork - and the first tested for a negative pid. I suspect that the reason this link has 400 odd upvotes is because more people aren't learning OS the correct way in the beginning. Or maybe my OS book was nice. IDK.
Unfortunately, we have to take your word for it, because there is no transparency of which of the various uncountable "bans" are associated with your account, to say nothing of why they are put there in the first place. You're probably not punishing posters for reminding people that Dropbox is an enthusiastic supporter of illegal domestic NSA spying operations, but there is no way to know that, either.

Interesting, yes DeepDyve looks exactly like what I had in mind. Thank you, will give it a try.

The other reply (no longer visible for some reason) mentioned the university library through the alumni association. I've gotten in touch with the library and received the following reply: "Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to provide remote access to Research Port databases to alumni. Complete access to all of the Libraries' databases is still available through computers at any of our eight branches." . So it seems like the policy varies from university to university.

Haven't heard back from my local library yet - might stop by there tomorrow and find out.
Deregulation in the sense of removing price controls and barriers to entry is typically good for everyone, examples include airlines and craft beer brewing.

Deregulation in the sense of stripping very specific regulations designed to prevent exploitation are typically good for the owners of capital and bad for everyone else. Examples include the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act (Led to Savings & Loan calamity), the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (Led to GFC), California's attempts to deregulate the energy market (Led to Enron and the energy crisis). It's easy to imagine many more scenarios where industries could be deregulated that would cause massive harm to most of society -- virtually all environmental controls fall into this category.

Some of those scenarios could have been prevented if more facets had been deregulated, but they weren't so we lost trillions of dollars in real value and drove debt through the roof.

It seems to me that human actions based on reviews require human judgement. Taking away someone's livelihood because someone gets a lot of 4 star but positive reviews strikes me as dangerously wrong. Taking away someone's livelihood because he or she callously puts others in harms way is a different story.

There's a huge difference between:

1 star: I waited for an hour for my pickup and this caused me to miss my very important appointment. Yes, traffic was horrible today, and so maybe it isn't the driver's fault but this was a very bad experience I don't want to repeat. You folks need to do a better job of setting expectations!

and

1 star: my driver narrowly missed rear-ending the car in front of us because he was distracted. He didn't even apologize!

In the second case we might blame the driver. In the first case, who gets the blame depends on the system.
There was a small dip in the mid 1990's, but this is indeed significant if true:

Paraphrasing Tolstoy, "All 5 star reviews are alike; each 1 star review is unhappy in its own way."

Five star reviews tend to be fluff, one star reviews tend to be specific. I read them first, I look for dealbreakers. No amount of "I love it" can outvote "claims X but can't really X properly".

It looks like this page was recently updated and coincidentally today he gave a talk on Linux performance at LinuxCon: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-amer... http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/...
That summary is not entirely correct. It's not because everything was moving, but because space was getting bigger. A very different phenomenon.

Why should he say that he does not know when the best accepted theory fits reality almost perfectly on that case? The correct thing to say is that he knows.

Also, if you look carefully enough, we know of no matter that escaped the Universe, as far as we know, it fits exactly the property of the Schwarzschild's black holes.

The Robert Harris account is excellent and there is a great quote from the forger along the lines of "A document isn't real or fake, it's efficient of inefficient". I highly recommend reading the book.

>Judging from the author's bios[1][2], it appears that the author is an Autistic that writes. Given this context, I'm more inclined to interpret these words literally (i.e. as in, "it's unfair that SAP is willing to accommodate coding/testing Autistics but not me") than as a general example supporting "a concern about autistic people being typecast as techies".

I am autistic. While either of us could be wrong, I think its pretty safe to say I have a better idea of what it means to be autistic than a person that isn't. You are basically saying that your interpretation of what he meant is based on the ridiculous assumption that we are incapable of making statements that aren't intended to be taken completely literally. If being autistic hadn't rendered me nearly immune to being offended, I'd probably be pretty upset about someone making such an ignorant statement.

>If you're looking at Autistics on a site called Hacker News, I suspect you're going to find more technical people than not. That doesn't mean you can generalize that to the general population of Autistics.

As a person with Asperger's that has two nephews with severe forms of autism, I assure you that my experience reading about autism is not limited to Hacker News.

So basically, if I mention the simple fact that there is a stereotype about autistic people, I am attempting to generalize the population. However, at the same time its OK for you to make bigoted assumptions about a complaint that a person made without actually weighing it on its own merits.

I can see how many reasonable people might end up disagreeing with the OP's claims. Unfortunately, you appear to be simply writing it off because he's autistic.

How disturbing and/or illegal should it be?

I mean, I'm game to make it illegal if it's not already, and it probably already is illegal in the countries where that would be going on.

But when I advocated the viewpoint that unauthorized access to computers was illegal and disturbing back with Aaron Swartz, that viewpoint didn't seem as popular at Hacker News for some reason.

Likewise when Jeremy Hammond admitted to hacking into Stratfor and was duly sentenced, that didn't seem super-popular here.

So if people want strong legal controls (and I do), then great! Let's have those, keeping in mind legal controls apply to everybody, with the state having at least as much authority and power (and often much more) than the public at large.

If people instead believe that the intent and the underlying cause of what you do completely justifies one's actions, then don't be surprised when you see "Bad Guys" doing "Bad Things" because they also deeply believe that what they are doing is right, essential, and good for humanity in general.

This. One of the most useful classes I took in undergrad was implementing a scheduler and an I-node disk. Nothing shows you all the ways fork() can fail like having to implement it.

Every system call can fail, even if it doesn't do something obvious like use disk resources. Ignoring this is how subtle bugs appear that seem unreproducible until you implement correct error handling.

Well XMPP is still an exciting protocol - you can pretty much transport anything over it, with federation built in automatically. Basically, if you were using XMPP on anyone's server (even one you stood up) you could talk to any other XMPP user. Google stood up Google Talk and became the largest userbase of XMPP. Facebook also uses XMPP, but they blocked off server 2 server connections. Eventually, Google (recently) replaced their Talk with Hangouts and will be closing off their XMPP service.

Anyways, Wave using XMPP isn't very exciting, but the the thing that was exciting about Wave was that it was supposed to be this system that organizations could install and run internally - plus they could share their waves with other organizations that also were running wave servers. Alas, Google stood up one beta server which got overloaded and they never released enough code in a form suitable for anyone to stand up on their own.

Apache got a copy of what code was released in 2010 and it's taken 4 years for someone to get it to an easily deployable state.

It's not just coal. China is frankly the future as far as energy consumption goes.

They produce and consume most of the world's solar equipment, produce extensive hydropower, and lead the world in the deployment of rechargeable electric vehicles (primary scooters) by an extremely long way.

To be clear, Australia, the nominal location of the source of the article, supplies much of China's natural gas and coal so has a strong economic interest in limiting such developments.

A new solar technology developed at Australia's University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, was famously ready for commercialization but when prompted the university turned down the opportunity. A smart ethnic Chinese researcher, aghast at the unthinkable degree of risk aversion of the university in the face of demonstrated efficiency gains, promptly returned to China, raised a few million, and became the world's largest solar producer virtually overnight.
No, multicursors are way more powerful because you don't have to rename something in order to use them. The second animation on http://www.sublimetext.com/ is a use case that has occured several times to me alone, and there are more (e.g. indenting only specific lines, aligning code).
Google Wave was actually inspired by EtherPad and Google ended up purchasing AppJet so that they could have the EtherPad engineers work on Wave.

I remember when I was singing in the Juilliard pre college chorus as a kid, we had to stabd for hours on end in a concert. I wanted to make pants that go above the knees and lock into place, so they support me standing. So I wanted to build a low tech version of this when I was a kid :)
No problem.

I think most people will tend to use a plural (they, them) in this kind of situation. People who are pickier about grammar will probably say "he or she" or "him or her."
From the second paragraph of the article:

The exercise was conducted on actual stoplights deployed at live intersections, "with cooperation from a road agency located in Michigan."

So this was done with permission.
That is a weird distinction, probably is a cultural thing? How can be better to say one of the other?. I have more than 30 years with my twin brother. My aunt is a professional trainer for people with disabilitues (a sport, gold-winner kind of trainer), I have learn a bit of sign language and so on. But I never heard that kind of argument (ie: here in colombia none of both will sound more or less respectfull, are equivalent)
You guys don't rank on google. Had to hardcode the link. Your site says very little about what it actually does, connect users with similar interests is the premise of basically every social and dating website on the net. I am on mobile, the confirm email says "this message has no text" on ios. This means google wont download it to the server. Can't confirm, can't use the site. You have to make this easier.
>That trust should definitely include both Dropbox's good intentions and their competency to prevent their payload system from being subverted.

Exactly. On Amazon (the review system I'm the most familiar with), if I find several one-star reviews that say some device was dead on arrival or a technical book was full of factual errors and typos, I'll definitely think twice before buying it, even if 90% of the reviews are five-star. I'm always grateful for the people who took the time to write honest and informative negative reviews.
The problem is that the rating system presents itself as 1-5 stars but is just pass/fail (or it has degenerated there over time). But "5 stars" is better marketing-wise.
Amazing the startup buzz there is at an accounting event. 300 people at the Developer Day yesterday. Xero is one of the fastest growing technology companies in the world - out of New Zealand.
> And how is this 'difficult'? It seems like it's a trivial software

I co-founded a traffic sensing startup circa 2008. At the time, very few cities had centralized control over their lighting systems (LA mostly did for example, most others did not). In fact, most traffic systems we looked into at the time had very little aggregated control at all. You may see situations were a particular busy street had 'linked' control for a series of 5,6 or 7 block in a row, but even that was fairly rare. Most of the time, each intersection has it's own controller, with minimal if any linkage to the outside world. You can usually find the control boxes, they're the randomly placed conspicuous steel boxes somewhat near the intersection. As for a 'software update', in most cases you were talking about an 8bit 8051 MCU switching some relays. A 'software update' involves someone going to each of these boxes physically (thousands in a decent sized city), plugging into some sort of serial port on the controller board, and running a possibly dangerous destructive write on the MCU flash.

It definitely qualifies as 'difficult'
To be honest, as a ST plugin developer, the underlying tech is very cool, except for JS/Coffee maybe.

You can do pretty much any UI you can imagine using a website in some way and Atom allows you to do exactly that. You can modify the entire UI and this is what I was always missing in ST: The ability to modify the UI more extensivly.

Sadly, this all leads to the very downside that everyone knows: Performance.
Computers will eventually get to the point where Atom feels as fast as Sublime, because
1) the coding was improved and more significantly, and
2) CPUs will get good enough for Atom that a human can't see differences between Atom and ST's performance, despite ST being way faster still. It's always been like that.

I think you should build a super simple chat client or use something like whatsapp and integrate it into a browser. That way, a potential client can find you and immediately engage with you about their needs. This is frictionless. Someone can type in real time and then book them. You can use asynchronous tools like email or a video chat like appear.in.

You should prob consult/explain for 5 minutes free and then make your rates known. After 5 minutes have them do a quick stripe payment, and then run a meter. Something like this is quick, frictionless and unsophisticated. You could even put the price on the screen like a taxi meter but this could actually be negative. Transparency works tp a point though.
Thanks! Great to hear someone's taken up the good work.

I think the point is that there is only the tree structure in lisp. Even though you can embed things with the reader macro, most of the time this is frowned upon specifically because it hides the actual structure.

There are some difficulties in this, of course. Sometimes I don't think in terms of trees of information. This is relatively rare, though.
What's Past is Prologue
Thanks, this is the kind of response I was looking for. I was under the assumption, after reading a couple of articles that they were more or less hacking anything they could, and creating a network of vulnerable machines that could then be used as a relays.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this up - I will have to invest some time into going over these sources more carefully.
A question: So how far more complex, and fine tunned must be the outer universe so it could fork inner universes? Because then the outer universe purpose is build universes. And must be solid enough to not be corrupted by the inner universes badly laws. So, a operating system?.

This make the answer far more complex, just to try to avoid the fine tunned of the universe, methinks.
