I found a quote at cat-v.org which describes the phenomenon you seem to describe:

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.“ — Michael Crichton
> you're playing with house money including the bonus

No, you are never doing this. The prices should just be 5% cheaper and there should be no 'bonus'. The fare is obviously set taking the bonus into account, so it makes more sense to just drop the prices and to drop the bonus.

I can't reproduce this in either Chrome or Firefox. All of the requests I see are to the http://www.apple.com origin. I also can't find any hard-coded https://www.apple.com URLs in the HTML+JS sources. Maybe they fixed it already, or maybe you have a browser extension that's modifying the requests on your end.
I was being 100% serious. It's unfortunate for those of us that work hard and want to get things done, but there is very little accountability once you're in the door.

One nice org-mode feature is "Babel", the ability to embed snippets of code in documents, run them during export and insert the results (either values or stdout) into other parts of the document http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/

Since my blog is mostly about programming, this lets me write the code I'm talking about directly into the prose (using C-c ' to switch to the relevant Emacs mode for editing that language) and ensures that the code and results match up exactly (including graphs generated with GNUplot).

As a former national-level swimmer, I always shaved my legs/arms and tapered my training for a big meet twice a year.

I found that combination to lower my times by about 1 second per 50m, or about 5%. I don't know how much of that is attributable to the shaving, but I will say it helped me "feel" way faster.
What outreach have you tried to get more women to apply?

I'm going through the job hunt now, and so many places seem determined to be as difficult as possible to deal with. One (I may have found it on HN) had a picture of the office bullpen, and every single person in the picture was a twenty-something male, mostly all white with one or two Asians, more than half wearing hipster goatees.

I wondered "why in the world would you show this in your job posting section? What image do you think it projects?"

I'm not a SJW but the in-groupishness projected by that image was a huge turn off for me. And I'm someone who mostly fit the stereotype in that picture (even down to the hipster goatee).

> The author, clearly not a developer, doesn't seem to see the potential for high cost in making a software change.

I see this kind of reply often, but I don't think it's the right approach: "We are sorry: what you are saying is correct, but we won't fix it because it's hard to do. Next time, try to complain about the easy fixes".

I don't think the customer should be required to be an engineer before noting that something is wrong, nor the company should be able to use its own deficiencies as an excuse about why they won't solve it. And particularly not in the case when the company is directly benefiting from its own incompetence.

What Apple's live streaming does, is in a CDN friendly way dynamically adjust the bandwidth going to a stream consumer. It's a great invention and there's no reason other people haven't adopted it. It's not being proprietary, it's simply being smart, because it's not trivial to do this kind of broadcast on the internet.

Here's the reality of video, and this goes for a lot of things that Apple makes "simple and beautiful". They fundamentally aren't. Video is a fundamentally difficult mess, a PITA, and the only way to have it work really smoothly is to have enough control over the entire stack to ensure that things work they way they are supposed to... and even then it doesn't always work. People adopting MP4 as a standard has gone a long way towards making things "just work" generally, but it's not sufficient by itself for a quality live stream.

I remember trying to watch a previous live stream from south america and the difficulties I had, even though I was using Apple devices and software the whole way.

Simple and Beautiful is a contradiction from "everywhere out of the box".

Those are two opposite goals.

This is an important thing to understand about software broadly, but with video it borders on impossible.
I don't think the big deal is them providing live coverage, it's that their homepage is redirecting to the stream 24 hours before hand. Considering how many hits apple.com gets per day that's a big decision indicating a huge event.
Isn't that a bit ad absurdum? Sure, in a sense this comment, the works of Shakespeare, the contents of this web page and the last 24 hours of stock trading exported as CSV are all just data/information. Go one step further and you could say that we might as well abolish English and instead write the content itself in some sexpr-structured Lojban.

But we don't operate in pure data structures, AST's, etc, so there has to be some kind of abstraction. Sexpr are one approach, but even die-hard lisp-heads usually don't contend that it's the only one. The aforementioned scribble isn't sexpr-based, either. Most markup languages these days really try to avoid spurious line noise for something as simple as paragraphs.

The working elements of your average program are much more complicated and varied than those of your average marked up document, and quite often much easier to heuristically derive -- significant line-ends being one prime example. Quite rarely is there a need for deep hierarchies, for example.

HTML these days isn't just about formating content, so there's a much higher signal/noise ratio, where something like sexpr markup could improve upon spurious end tags, attributes etc.
And this is even more true for most XML data.

So I'd see a use case for these kinds of complicated and generic scenarios. But for simple annotated content, outlines and the occasional date? Do you really want to write tables as nested s-expressions instead of just working automagically with a neat ascii-art representation?

Letting go of fear and living
Thanks! Creddle is not open source and does not have an open API at the moment. I do have ideas on some portions of Creddle that might be a good opportunity to open source in the future. I would need to separate it and package it up properly. But more importantly, I'd want to build the team up so that we'd be able to give enough attention to whatever open source projects might spin off Creddle. I don't want to release an open source project that is poorly supported because I don't have enough time or help.

I think the same goes for an open API - a poorly supported API can be very frustrating to use. If Creddle and the team continue to grow, I think that these two things would come naturally.

Your mileage will vary, but ZFS has always had strong performance.
Regarding Yahoo, post Marissa, these positions still absolutely exist and are mostly in middle management. Most of 'deadwood' elimination has been amongst engineers because guess what, the career bureaucrats are exactly the ones who end up deciding who are the people not 'adding value' to the company. The core of Yahoo is still rotten. Its just that a new layer of paint has been slapped on.
An idea has no value.. How you execute it is what's most important
Where I work, all the middle management (one exception, he was hired from the outside) was promoted from within due to high quality work and desire to manage.

At a prior job it was half and half. Half were promoted because of stellar prior work and half were promoted to remove their incompetent from harming the organization. I worked for both kinds at that organization.

I didn't see the point of the iPhone or the iPad before they announced them. I haven't worn a watch for 20 years... but if they do announce a watch (I expect it will be a wearable more than a watch) I bet I will buy it.

Because I don't think they'd make it if it weren't worth making. Apple has never tried to create a new category when they didn't have something substantial to offer.
Argentina didn't have the military capability to attack anything outside of the war zone. Great Britain simply exercised restraint in their attacks on the mainland.
To use your example though, as many transit agencies like this dark pattern: BART fare isn't a flat per-ride fee, it's based on distance. You could have a Caltrain-esque system where you put in your destination to get an exact ticket from the machine, but it's confusing to tourists and would make lines even worse I bet.

I assume you ended up with $3.80 on a card after paying $20 and using it twice? I would love to see them end this dark pattern and offer a "Downtown SF-SFO ticket" from SFO at least, maybe one at Powell too for people that lose their tickets, so no need to get a refund. Before Clipper cards were a thing, I used to lose the $3.80 (now $2.70) BART tickets so often that I got into a habit of just giving it to someone on my way into the airport.

SFMTA did away with their "10 ride booklet" to just tell people to add cash that you can use anywhere, I wonder how that works out. Then again the amounts you get at the ticket machine are sane (single ride, $5, 10, 20, 40, 50, monthly pass, etc.) and you pay extra for reloadable cards on top of that, instead of doing this $9+extra fee thing, so...
People do not want a watch like the current crop of i-watches. They hope that Apple will create a watch the masses want to buy.

That's what the excitement is all about, either pro-Apple people that want to see Apple creating another iPhone/iPad/iPod market, or anti-apple that want another Apple TV to finally prove that Apple could not recover from Steve Jobs death.

Best of all, unlike monads, this is a topic everybody can have an opinion about, that's weeks worth of traffic guaranteed. Apple announcement themselves are valuable product for the media.

Max from chat.cc here.

Yep, that's the exact issue we're currently thinking through.

Our current mentality is that this is an "email app". Email conversations exist as they normally do, but with a voluntary chat layer resting on top of the email thread.

If you want realtime, another people want realtime, it's there. If you don't, you get an email summary, and it's just part of your email.

Any email replies populate in the chat window, etc.

Thanks for the great information. I've caught some odd behavior in the logs just like this and other users have reported it as well.

None, the same for traditional media for all of time. Media cares very little for actual truthful, accurate news, its more about viewers, readers, subscribers, listeners and $$. It's been like this forever though.
Another one I've been wondering about recently is the inverse— loading at runtime a GPL module into an otherwise BSD codebase.

ROS (robot operating system) runs into this with nodelets, which are shared objects that are loaded into a nodelet manager. Is it a GPL violation to supply a launchfile which specs the loading of BSD and GPL nodelets into a single running process?

Best answer IMO is JonFish85's. You really don't want to do that. But if you want to trash yourself, who are we to prevent it? It's not the job or the company in particular, it's the circumstances. Some ideas:

Look for a big company. Easier to hide in them.

Find a place with internal fights. Same reasoning.

No external competition is a plus.

A lazy boss is a treasure. A very busy one is a close second.

Never be just under "the line" (between managemente and technical).

Have reports. Make them do everything you should.
If you read just that, okay fine. But if you're going to the front page of the website, you'd also see PROGRAMMER there. (Way to, by the way, cherry pick examples. Why not use this page? http://www.gayle.com/projects/ Oh, right, because it doesn't prove the straw man you'd built.)

But that wasn't the example referenced. The example referenced about doing a talk on coding topics (data structures, algorithms, code) for an hour and having some ask about my "prior" role as a recruiter.

Then that quote is meaningless.

As I see it, rewards belong to "the system" which spends them at ~25BTC/10min at this moment. Rewards are not created out of thin air, they're there anyways, and if your BTCUSD is based only on total BTC circulating you're doing it wrong (I know you're not GP, just a generic "you").

What I'm interested in is how much each transaction actually costs to miners, since eventually the reward will have to add up slightly above that cost or Bitcoin is doomed.
This is pretty dangerous. Another poster mentioned Yahoo pre-Mayers. Generally, positions like what you describe are either politically protected: a manager with a large number of reports has more "importance" than a manager with few, so some managers try to inflate their staff, or, the position has just slipped through the cracks as times change around it.

The problem comes when you've been in that position for 10 years, doing little to no significant work, not building or honing any skills, and suddenly a new management comes in and cleans house, and you're gone. Now what?

I work for the government and we have a lot of folks like what you describe, but with less income. As long as they show up for work and answer a few emails, mostly, they can get by. This works, I guess, if you're just a few years from retiring. But we do sometimes get aggressive politicians in office who promise to "cut the fat", and we have had cuts and layoffs in the past. So imagine yourself, at 25, you take a position and intentionally don't learn, don't advance, and just do the minimum to collect the salary.

10 years later, you're 35 and still working with Java 6 on some legacy system that needs 2 hours a week of maintenance. That's your whole job. Suddenly, some political upheaval happens and a bunch of folks, including you, are laid off.

Can you get back in the game? Of course. Would it be a lot easier to get back in if you took that time to keep your skills at least somewhat up to date?

That said, I'm very sympathetic. I'm a computer programmer because I've always been good at it. When I was a kid, and in high school, and so on. That's the only skill I learned. But I don't like computers. New frameworks don't excite me, they make me feel tired. When I go home, I don't want to play with the newest technology or even gadget. I dream of getting out of computing all together, but, nothing else would bring the salary combined with the light workload. It's a "bronze handcuffs" situation (I say bronze, because, as a government worker, my salary is too low to qualify for anything else). I had a job for a while teaching remedial basic math to adults, which was pretty neat, but it was part-time, no-benefits, low wage. That's the kind of thing that is fulfilling, but doesn't pay the mortgage.

Even so, I read HN. I sometimes do make time to try new ideas, even small ones. I'm not using node.js or angular, but, at least I've heard of them and know what they are. Don't become the guy that hasn't heard of them [where them refers to whatever is fresh] and doesn't know what they are... Or I worry you'll find yourself in a very difficult spot in a few years.
..And all the twitch streams have been shut down.
>> "Maybe the time coefficient should be stronger for days like today, though."

I disagree. The reason the front page becomes full of Apple is because Apple launches all their stuff at once. There are only maybe 2 or 3 times a year that Apple releases new stuff. The discussions of these things are important. They shouldn't be penalised for happening at the same time.
Yes, I think it's a no brainer. I'll put it up on the board!
Apple has a pattern before keynotes where they push out the less glamorous products. They keep them ready to go in the keynote in case something happens with a glamorous announcement they have filler. But when they are confident that they can announce the next iPhone, or whatever, they push out the minor rev of the iMac or whatever.

I'm worried. This is the machine I want to buy next. A modern mac mini would be ideal.

They should have shipped one early this year but didn't. That's ok, the mac pro took a lot of resources and is a major redesign.

So, then the next expected time is last week.

So, either the Mac Mini is significant enough to talk about today (with two phones and an alleged watch? that seems doubtful)... or it might be effectively cancelled.
Many moons ago I ran a research study for Microsoft on their SPOT watch initiative, and despite countless focus groups among many different consumer audiences, absolutely no one wanted a smart watch. Granted, their smart watch had some fairly large deficiencies due to the lack of mobile tech infrastructure available at the time.

I'm very intrigued to see if Apple can pull it off...
