This is a disappointing line of thought. I'm firmly in group 1, but typically respond with "No thanks, I don't drink" to save myself from having to fend off drink offers for the rest of the night. For that, I am disliked....
A bit off topic: Is there a good site to keep track of all tech IPOs and including historical data and upcoming/withdrawn IPOs?
there was a guy that drove a similar looking vehicle in my college town. His license plate said "HUM THIS"
That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that... I am 34 now, so perhaps that's why the effect seems so pronounced.
You might be, if you write plugins for vim! But if you don't, then no, probably not. It's handy to test some arbitrary commands which might go into a vim script or, more likely for the average user of vim, your .vimrc file.
You don't sound arrogant and condescending at all.

Here is the truth: in a few years, you'll realize that OOP is actually vastly superior to FP. It's okay if you don't believe me right now, you haven't progressed enough yet. Maybe you will, maybe you won't. If you succeed, you'll look back on FP and you will wonder how you could ever tolerate such an inferior programming model.
I was really excited to see Malcolm Gladwell writing this just after I finished reading one of the books he's talking about, On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City. I highly recommend it, especially if you enjoyed Gang Leader for a Day.

The US is in desperate need of a mind shift from seeing all criminals as hopelessly dangerous people that can only be dealt with by force. When the same problems come up in every single poor community, it's a reflection of deeper social issues. These sort of well written stories showing the humanity involved can help with that.

I just searched for the other book mentioned in the article and the ONLY copy available for sale (as in there's exactly one book) is $59 on amazon. The publishing industry strikes again.

Depends on the book but I've definitely found some dense technical books (mostly textbooks) have to be read much slower than my normal speed for real comprehension.
Yes I tried Prozac and Zoloft 12 years ago before giving Wellbutrin a try early last year. It worked worlds better/differently because it is a non-addictive stimulant as well. Some doctors prescribe it to their children as a safe ADD medication.
No you can't. An employer-employee relationship must exist between the sponsoring company and the employee. Not possible if you own the whole company or even a lot of the company.

In any event, you should really ask an immigration attorney rather than the internet.
Awesome. This exactly what the world needs. The next big breakthrough in solar and battery tech are just going to push this over the top. Can't wait.

People expect a big change to come along and fix things, but that is rarely the case. Regression or progression is a battle of inches with goals that are miles apart. For me, using a "one" system has proven greatly beneficial in making progress. I made a list of the areas in my life that I want to improve, and every day I try to do at least one thing towards achieving those goals. In my case the primary goals are: physical fitness, personal projects, eating healthy, reading, and home cleanliness. All I need to do is make at least one effort per day at improving any aspect of each of those five goals. It can be as simple as doing a single push up, updating one word on one page on a website, taking a multivitamin, reading a blog post or a chapter in a book, or putting away some laundry, as long as it's at least something. Most of the time I find that once I do at least one thing, I will end up doing more, since I've already started and have momentum. One push up turns into 10. Washing one dirty glass turns into emptying the sink of dishes. Sometimes it's the bare minimum, and that's fine too. Tracking each day can turn it into a bit of a game. Jerry Seinfeld's system makes a lot of sense to me: http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-se...

Progress is often slow and painful and it's easy to lose perspective on where you were, where you are, and where you want to be. Reflecting on your goals and your accomplishments can help you maintain perspective and stay positive. Also reflect on your mistakes so that you do not repeat them. Don't beat yourself up over mistakes, everyone makes them every day, you are just more aware of your own. If you are kind to your future self it makes it easier to have a positive image of your past self which can improve your outlook on the future. To me that is what meditation is all about.

Since you smoke, maybe try and use that as a reward. Right now it sounds like a coping mechanism, which can help, but it's no replacement for feeling and dealing with your emotions. That's dangerous long term. In the morning, before you wake and bake, read a chapter in a book. Do 10 push ups and then get high. That way you start the day on a positive note and knock out one or two of your daily goals right away.

If you are isolating yourself and not going outside you might also have a vitamin D deficiency from lack of sunlight exposure. A daily multivitamin can help with that and other dietary deficiencies. You aren't alone in what you're feeling and it can get better as long as you try. Good luck!
Does anyone have a good up-to-date comparison with btrfs on this topic?
Of course a VC does not want you wasting his money and will finger wag all day long to try to make entrepreneurs behave.

However his analysis focusing on isolated economic indicators is missing the forest for the trees (presumably willfully). Why is money cheap? Because investors have no place to put their money. The accelerating consolidation of wealth within the super rich (ie. the 0.01% funding VCs) and the pathetic amount of tax and philanthropy mean they have nowhere to put their money. It is going to be impossible to get the returns they demand because of the decimation of the middle class and on a larger scale the impossibility of sustaining 20th century level growth over the long term.

Tech is a long way from being an unattractive investment because it still provides the best avenue to scaling a business quickly. It will survive a tremendous amount of douchebag entrepreneur cash burning simply because there's no better game out there, and until society comes to term with what's actually happening economically rather than wishfully believing the juked stats the government puts out to get re-elected I don't see any better investment opportunities coming along.

Let the party continue...

Not "q", but "Q".

Actually, when entering Ex mode you get a little helpful message that says Type "visual" to go to Normal mode.

If you do press "q" though, you're in macro mode, and you don't get any helpful message that tells you that you have to press "q" another time to exit it.

IDEA has macros.
Probably because most people think there are too many prisoners in the US and everyone who implies it should stay that way is seen dense/backward.

Didn't downvote, but I have the same opinion as those people.
True ... and often weddings will have sparkling grape juice available if there are children at the reception. I guess I also don't see drinking the champagne as a problem but when a business acquaintance has spent a thousand dollars on a bottle of wine to celebrate a milestone, he might in fact be offended that you're not even tasting "his favorite wine".
> To say that someone who has a glass of beer with his dinner on most days is a "heavy drinker" sounds ridiculous.

Drink Aware tells me that eight cans of Coors Light per week ( a baseline I chose ) is 12 units.

http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/understand-your-drinking/unit-ca...

The UK recommended limit for men is 21 units per week. So you'd be just over halfway there, which doesn't give much leeway for any social events.
No. This allows a content delivery network (such as cloudflare) to host content on your behalf without having to have direct access to your private key material.

The main use cases you may be interested in are to 1) make it so that users connecting to you get a faster experience - since they can connect to a geographically nearby cloudflare server, rather than your distant server and 2) make it so that cloudflare can absorb large denial-of-service attacks that your server couldn't otherwise cope with.
In the current context, I would say that being self-taught is more of an advantage. Programmers today are normally expected to be pragmatic and demonstrate their autonomy and dedication, which I assume you did. While a computer science degree is a nice addition, it is no substitute for having something to show for. Unless you're applying for a position which focuses on a CS curriculum, it really comes down the the value you have to offer.

However, because ignorance is bliss, try to keep humble about your advantages over those university graduates who came to focus on other aspects of the trade. Be aware of your own value and sell what you're good at. Also, make sure that you are legally allowed to refer to yourself as an engineer. In some countries, it's a very specific title controlled by a professional organisation.

Believe me, it's much harder for a CS graduate to get a job without adequate practical experience than it is for someone with a decent portfolio.
It is one thing that the headlines hide info to get a click, but what is with this whole style of articles not getting to the point? Is there a name for this atrocious style? Is it something being taught or just imitated lately?
Variables in Elixir can be rebound, and there are no unsafe variables at all in Elixir.
That must be an obnoxious proof.
No, this is like replying to someone's statement "I was forced to eat unhealthy foods." by pointing out that they are shifting the responsibility of their actions onto their circumstances and surroundings. Those may have an influence on you, but the best way to see change in your life is to accept responsibility for your actions and bring them in line with your goals.

I think the point is that the instigators of the American Revolution were anything but poor and hopeless. They were mostly wealthy landowners who would have had plenty of opportunities even without independence from Great Britain.
Would love some feedback on this. Pinnin is a simple Pinboard Client for iOS, and includes an iOS8 app extension to add bookmarks to Pinboard from any app. It's written in Swift and I plan on open sourcing sometime in the coming weeks once I get the codebase cleaned up a bit more.

I know the marketing site could use some work, but any comments on the app itself would be much appreciated!
Your post could have described me as well.

The only thing I would add is that for me, in university, I did run into some friction about my choice, from time to time. You'll find that when people are young, making a choice to go against the status quo and being secure about it will bring about all kinds of insecurity in others (e.g. those who are drinking, but only out of peer pressure). It helped me identify who were really my friends (the ones that didn't hassle me about my choices).

When you get older (e.g. out of school), it gets much better as being a non-drinker becomes more acceptable and even admirable for some.
Slightly off-topic, but I wanted to expand on anxiety quick:

> Anxiety, though, (and I'm speaking from experience here, having had some light anxiety attacks caused by too much regular caffeine usage) seems to be characterised by a feeling of impending doom, that everything is wrong, it can't be fixed, it's all hopeless, etc.

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder earlier this year, after some career-related stress gave me a panic attack. Your description, the feeling of impending doom, everything is wrong, etc. is spot on. For me, it feels like a broken fight-or-flight response. I feel like I have to physically do something right now, and if I don't then something very bad is going to happen.

After my first panic attack, I immediately scheduled an appointment with a doctor. I was prescribed Xanax to take whenever I feel anxious, and then I was given a recommendation to see a therapist.

The therapy has helped, but by far the biggest improvement has come from daily, rigorous exercise.

Two months ago I started running twice each day, along with walking to/from work and walking our dog. My anxiety has been almost completely eradicated, excluding a couple random 5-minute bouts every other week, whereas before it was an every day, all day thing. I'm also happy to say that I have not had to use the Xanax at all since I began exercising.

If you're feeling any of the symptoms of anxiety (feeling of impending doom, it's all hopeless, etc.) or depression, please, make an appointment and see a doctor. You can get help.
Om is really cool and David Nolen is an awesome member of the Clojure community. However, I've played around with Om and found it to be a rather complex tool. I think it would be perfect for a high performance web app where I need to control everything - but thats not what I generally need.

I've enjoyed working with Reagent, which is another react clojurescript interface. It sacrifices some very minor functionality for an extreme decrease in complexity. It's actually enjoyable to make a UI with it.

Ok thanks. So this basically makes it easier and more secure to get set up with cloudflare?

So why couldn't Cloudflare set up what I'm suggesting? Are there technical reasons, or just lack of demand?
It is likely that SAP will bring Concur in as a SuccessFactors module, which means it will get integrated to the rest of the suite over their HANA Cloud Platform. In the long term, this is likely to result in much better integration to their cloud based systems than they would have had in their legacy/on-premises systems. It is also likely that it will take significant time for them to fully integrate it with their existing solutions, and to be able to sell it. Ultimately, this acquisition will bolster short-term cloud revenues, and help give its existing enterprise clients a reason to move toward HANA.
Try out Expensify - it's a post-2000 expense web and mobile app (already way above your expectations right?)

Seriously though, Expensify is an expense reporting solution that simplifies the process for all users invoved - employees, submitters, administrators, finance departments, HR, and the companies themselves (tax reporting, etc). Our goal is to completely change the way people do expense reports (for how we work, check out: http://blog.expensify.com/2014/07/29/how-do-you-expensify-fo...).

PS - If it's not obvious yet, I currently work at Expensify and am totally drinking the kool aid. BUT, our vision for the space is completely user driven and goes beyond a simple expense reporting solution, which makes things trés exciting around here.

On @martijn_himself's point, Expensify's business model employs a bottom-up approach. We offer a free version of Expensify for individual users to try out first, and we have found that many individual users like our product enough to introduce it into their company; in fact, that's how we've been able to fill our pipeline since we launched. User feedback actually helps us figure out what features to build next.

Take a look, try us out! use.expensify.com

PPS - we're hiring engineers if you're into this sort of thing http://we.are.expensify.com/who-we-need/
Any evidence the party is coming to an end?

Actually for me it is getting a bit ridiculous when an app like Yo can get like a million dollars when it goes viral without anyone actually figuring out what's so great about it.

It does seem like growth is triumphing over other metrics, like revenue, or common sense. Of course if we go by that measure, companies like facebook will never survive at all, not sure how this is gonna play out.
The suggestion in the article to pre-register trials is a good one, but I'm extremely wary of a more general effort to "publish rejected research" because there is a huge quantity of very poorly conducted research that really does not deserve publication. Most fields are already drowning in a sea of journal articles - few researchers are aware of all the published studies that might be relevant to their own work - and greatly increasing the quantity of published material will dilute the pool even further.

Replicating findings should be given higher priority, pre-registering methods and analyses should be encouraged/required, but it's important to stop short of "publish all the things".
Well I will take needed prescribed drugs :)
Lost Armour: Tracking Tanks in South-East Ukraine
>> I haven't had much contact with this immigrant minority, but from the media, I get the feeling that they are not really "respected" - their culture and heritage is demonized left and right, they are "foreigners" and "people of color". Probably, this got much worse after 9/11 and other terrorist attacks (e.g. in the UK), and was quite bad even before (e.g. in France, from what I hear).

I'm part of this minority (immigrant father, look like an immigrant, arabic name) and this part is completely true. And I can say this despite having a Dutch mother, being an atheist, having plenty of economic opportunities, a jewish girlfriend and having no affiliation with islam. The way people who look like me, or that have my father's religion, are treated here in the EU, is downright nasty. It stings my heart, again, even though I have limited affiliation with my heritage that's so vilified here. If I actually identified myself with islam it'd be very easy to feel as if it's 'us vs them'.

But the economic melt-down. Look, I hear what you're saying, it does affect immigrants more harshly as they're generally in a socioeconomic position that's less well equiped to deal with economic hardship. (from the lack of a professional network, culture divide to the illiteracy of many first generation immigrants). And I've experienced my fair share of economic hardship, too, like picking the leftover damaged potatoes and tomatoes from the street after marketmen close up shop at night. but I don't really see this as a deciding factor at all. The story of Casablanca slums just don't apply (watch Horses of God if you're interested!), in my experience and opinion, to Europe. It does generate a certain sentiment, a pessimism, it can take away pockets of dignity, that make a person more susceptible to a crazy imam's rhetoric, but at the end of the day Europe is a pretty brilliant place to live when you're poor. I can't imagine a better place after Scandinavia. I think it's far from a deciding factor. If the above (cultural demonization and rash foreign policies) hadn't happened, even if there was twice as much unemployment, I don't think EU youth joining ISIS would've really been a problem.

That having been said, in my opinion the whole eu youth joining isis is way overblown, but that's another discussion I won't invite myself to have! I'll be happy to discuss though if you want.

The US is very similar to the Westminster system and has the same major underlying problem: with no attempt towards proportionality, very few people end up with their first choice of representation.

My comment is more of a meta one about HN. Are we really that interested in these stories of depression? We seem to get at least one a week. I realise it's an issue that may affect people here, but I'm not sure if we need the volume we are seeing now.
I'm curious, how does this sort of thing work when you're in japan? Or remote in general. Send them a coffee voucher and get them on the phone?
I am on a H1 and I have been thinking of applying. Here are my thoughts :

- Somewhat illegal but less risky is to take an unpaid leave from your employer and as you build you own company, come back, resign and transfer visa to your own company.

- If you are married and your wife is working, you can transfer to H4 and once you have your own company, apply for a h1 again. The risk here is pretty huge as getting back on h1 is a lucky draw system especially if you are from India/China.

- Go back to school by transferring to F1 visa and take a semester off or you can work on OPT.

- People have also used travel visa which for some reason is illegal and risky, IMO.

- Can't think of other ideas. Maybe wait for the reform...
>> The IDE is more akin to Python's IDLE than monstrosities which may come to mind. There's a window for entering commands and seeing the results, and you can open up separate, syntax-colored editor windows, running the contents of each with a keypress. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's something that most languages don't provide.

What? I have considered that standard for all the languages that have an interpreter (which is roughly, everything except C,C++,C#, Java).
Three Thoughts on Peter Thiel's 'Zero to One'
As with everything, It Depends.

Battery backup with a hardware RAID controller is fantastic for increasing write performance of a RAID array. You can literally call flush() on a file, and it returns almost instantly, so if you are doing this a lot it makes sense to either use one of these or a solid state drive. If the system is well-maintained, then the chances of it failing are "small". However, the whole ethos of ZFS is that it wants to manage individual discs itself.

With regard to other hardware, there are certainly devices out there that will ignore flush requests, in the name of performance. These are usually consumer-grade devices. If you're paying extra for an enterprise-grade drive from a reputable manufacturer, you should be fine.
If there's an established "correct" solution to this problem, why hasn't anyone pointed to it directly, and why didn't the banks use it?

Could you point to some credible expert commentary (as opposed to anonymous noise on HN) describing why what CloudFlare has done here is wrong?
