It's less of an issue now than it was a few years ago. But again context is key.

Try "go observer" vs "golang observer".

If your go app is having issues with a firewall you might search "go firewall" which seems less relevant than "golang firewall."

If you wanted a library that handles "rules" "golang rules library" provides better result than "go rules library."

If you know what you're looking for "go" is probably a sufficient search term. If you don't know what you're looking for (and you're not just using google as a bookmark site) "golang" seems to be a better search term.
I heard an advertisement for Beats Music on the radio last night and was wondering why Apple hasn't rolled it into iTunes yet.
Hmm. I've never seen a requirements document for a 6-figure contract.

I have seen some for low 5-figure ones though.

One starting point could be the IEEE standards (IEEE 830 and 1233)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_requirements_specifica...

http://www.math.uaa.alaska.edu/~afkjm/cs401/IEEE830.pdf

although it's old and superseded

http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/159274/what-s...

According to Stack Overflow

"29148:2011 standard seems to replace the IEEE 830:1998."

There are also plenty of books on requirements, like for example:

Mastering the Requirements Process Second Edition by Suzanne Robertson, James Robertson (published by Addison Wesley Professional )

Edit: hopefully there are people here on HN that routinely either write or receive requirements documents of that magnitude and can help you more than I do :)
I really appreciate the sentiment of this comment. It shows that whatever does end up making it to the screen should be pretty well thought out.
The 2008 financial crisis was not brought on by people avoiding taxes. I don't think any crisis can be caused this way because the US government can easily borrow money when it needs and clamp down on tax avoidance or raise taxes later.
As he alluded to in the article, the bookies were not prepared for the large sum of money that he wanted to wager - in total. These sort of prop bets typically don't allow for such a larger amount to be wagered.
Seconded. SSRI's seem to have a stigma around them. A lot of people I know "worry it'll change their personality". For me, it did change my personality. I went from being an anxious mess to being functional. Really wish I had started them sooner.
Sorry to hear about your situation. If it helps, I can relate somewhat, as a founder who has struggled with depression at times. I wish I had some magic incantation to give you to help, but unfortunately I don't. I can say this though:

1. If you ever just need somebody to talk to, feel free to give me a shout.

2. Fish-oil is widely considered to be an effective over-the-counter / natural supplement that helps with depression. I've used it before and seen noticeable results.

3. Regarding feeling like an outsider: Maybe you are an outsider. And maybe that's not a bad thing at all. Maybe consider a worldview where your outsider status is irrelevant or even a positive. Try reading The Fountainhead or some Nietzsche for inspiraton?

4. You may find some value in reading the philosophy of the Stoics[1]. The Meditations[2] by Marcus Aurelius might be a worthwhile read.

True enough. I might have mis-stated things slightly.

I think the only difference might be the portability. Android takes 'Java' code and outputs 'android machine code' that can/does only runs on an 'android machine' (I think).

Compiled Java in theory should run the same on any JVM, as it's virtual machine code, and the 'machines' use the same set of defined instructions.
It actually works both ways. You can filter on friends or see all that are sharing location.
The number of people gambling in the US and the UK are fairly similar, both somewhere between 60 and 70 percent. Government lotteries are the most popular form in both countries.
Feeling like you belong/the sense of belonging is a very powerful feeling that is hard to find, especially if you haven't learned it as a kid.

Those trade and economic policies are neoliberal. "Neoconservative" usually refers to a position in fundamental political philosophy (a kind of The Republic "noble lie" for modernity) or in foreign policy (aggressively enforcing the Pax Americana).
Completely valid points, and I have to imagine that the author would agree with you. I can't help but to imagine the novelty of the wager and the amount he was willing to risk, played a large part in him ultimately following through.

As someone around the same age, this problem of depression seems to have affected almost everyone I know our age at some point. It is normal to feel depressed and down, especially at this age. I don't claim to have any answers, but as my best friend is going through a similar depression episode at the very moment, the article stuck a chord with me. My only advice is just to remember your situation can be changed in a short amount of time. People tend to get stuck into routines and not realize the vast amount of freedom they actually have, especially when they are young and free to do almost anything.

Sounds like there's a mix of imposter syndrome and minority status somewhere in there, and each can make the other worse.

And attitude can really affect how we perceive ambiguous reactions from other people. If you think you're a ninja rockstar, you're going to ignore the tepid responses that might discourage someone with a weaker ego. I think we could all do well to be more inviting and encouraging, especially if we organize or attend meetups. Meetups in my area each have reputations for how friendly or how stuck-up they are: Ruby is pretentious, JavaScript is welcoming, PHP is warm and casual, Python is somewhat neutral. But sometimes it's just one person who tilts the entire meetup.
You also probably do not want a version control system that is "liable to unpredictable changes".
Second post in the thread that cites "Bugs Bunny". If that is now canon and required reading for educated people I have some work to do!
Anon music guy here.

Apple will rename Beats to something else (tbd) -- it will become Apple's streaming service.

Apple bought Beats for the streaming music service -- to compete with Spotify, which is quickly gaining market share.
It can be very hard sometimes to separate out the "Reality" thoughts vs. "We're all doomed" thoughts. There is a difference, often.
Beats is a good brand for the headphones. iTunes is much more valuable than Beats Music.
Thanks—changed.
You're assuming they have the money in hand long enough to invest it in real estate, and the time, masochism and expertise to do two renovations.
I think the analysis was a cover. Some m months ago in the polls a yes vote was universally preposterous. In reality it was quite close.
For me the police radio is usually just unintelligible chatter with lots of distortion and noise. I could maybe understand a word or two, but that would require concentrating on it. Now it just creates an atmosphere.
I was with Apple in the mid-2000's, when Jobs was insisting that people wanted to "own" their music. This was when services like Rhapsody where the "big" players in online music. I would occasionally join Rhapsody and enjoy it, but it's mobile capabilities at the time were bad and devices like the iPod were entirely offline. It made more sense to me to own my music files then.

By the time Spotify came to the U.S., my iPod was long retired in favor of a smartphone, and I could get enough data on my plan to make mobile streaming a very reasonable option. I haven't bought a track on iTunes in almost three years now and give Spotify my money instead.

I'm really curious about how Apple is going to address the on-demand streaming stuff. It seemed like Beats Music was going to be their entry in, but that's now being shelved. Apple tends to think big and music has been a huge part of their brand for 10+ years now, so I'm interested to see what they have planned for early next year. It better be good!
Given recent announcements (Apple Watch, Apple Pay), a likely name would be "Apple Music". Would that be permissible under their contract with Apple Records?
It's pretty accurate for most software engineering roles out there. You whiteboard code to solve theoretical problems with algorithms you learned in college. The real job typically involves trying to get code from various languages, frameworks and platforms to work together. There may be one or two times where you actually use some obscure algorithm but that's it.

10 online marketing strategies you need to know now
I think it's definitely possible to put knowledge of Haskell to use in PureScript, but it's not like Fay, Haste, GHCJS etc. where you can copy code verbatim. I think of PureScript as "an environment in which to write principled JavaScript". That requires that, to a certain extent, you should have JavaScript's semantics in the back of your mind while developing. For that price, you get ease of debugging and some tools which you don't have in many other compile-to-JS languages (an expressive type system, type classes, ability to refactor with confidence etc.)

Of course, one of the best things about AltJS is the interoperability with other languages. PureScript won't be the best tool for every case, but it has a simple FFI. It's possible to write complete front-ends in PureScript, but I'd love to see more examples where PureScript is used alongside something else (I've used TypeScript with PureScript successfully, for example).
Well, one option involves the hassle of renovating two homes (have you ever watched Grand Designs? The windows never fit...), the other involves walking into your nearest bookies. Perhaps if you have that sort of money to throw around you might like to take the quick and easy option.
technically, they don't recommend it. curl whatever | bash is one of the 3 possible method (first listed, I agree) but there are 2 other ways to install it.

otoh, don't you think that without the unsecure one liner to install it, some people would complain about its lack ? Stating they can read the script before executing it anyway.

Plus, it's not much less secure than cloning a repo and running 'make install' (in both case, one could read the script(s) but will unlikely do so).

I am curious if they plan to incorporate streaming into the itunes. With spotify blowing up it would be great to offer the best of both worlds, which would be streaming and owning mp3.

If they plan on just shutting the whole thing down, I think it is a big mistake. Streaming music has entered people's lives in a big way and will only become more widely used.
Thanks! That's a great suggestion, I've been looking into using docker containers to create an isolated runtime environment.

Gambling winnings should be tax-free, unless gambling losses are tax-deductible. Taxes should apply to the production or consumption of utility, not to its random shuffling around.

I've got 5 quid on Kate having a ginger baby (bet against my friends, not a betting shop).

That's as far as it's ok to go if you ask me. The betting shops, gambling outfits and lottery prey on people's desire to be "better off". It's another form of servitude if you ask me. There are responsible gambling campaigns but daytime TV is all about betting and online bingo and stuff so it's about the same as saying not to smoke whilst giving away the first 10 cigarettes for free.

And you know that how? Yeah, you don't. It isn't even relevant to this conversation.
If there is a finding of wrong doing I am sure there will be prosecution, only not against the students, but against the operators of websites using the students code without the knowledge of end users. Again it would be an exercise is futility for the AG to attempt to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that was the intent of the students (unless the students operated third party websites running the Tidbit code without knowledge of the end user).

EFF simply wants immunity. Everything else is posture:

>The state has already made clear it believes Rubin and Tidbit are in violation of New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act.

If that's what the state believed criminal charges would be filed, not a subpoena issued.

>One interrogatory asks Rubin to provide a list of all instances where Tidbit and websites using the code "accessed consumer computers without express written authorization or accessed consumer computers beyond what was authorized."

Note how the question is not just focused on Tidbit but also 3rd party websites.

This article quite wrongly assumes that the government is always justified in issuing warrants, not to mention the current excesses in the form of rubber stamp, overbroad, secret warrants that you can't even be informed of. This alarming attitude seems to be taking hold more and more, which is even more distressing considering that this is the country founded on distrust of the government.

Add to this that many people now treat their digital devices as extensions of their mind which leads in to fifth amendment territory, and there is absolutely no reason anyone but the person to whom the data is most dangerous should be allowed access.

The government, like IT departments, should not exist to serve itself: it is there to serve others, and so called "thinking of the children" or any other reason cannot excuse the invasions of privacy that occur on a regular basis. I'm no fan of Apple, but if they've made it so that even they can't unlock an iPhone due to court order, they are doing something right.

The government also gets many advantages from technology, and still has the advantages of extremely powerful and time tested techniques that have not become outdated merely due to advances in technology. Just because some LEO agents want to take shortcuts to be "tough on crime" doesn't justify harming innocent bystanders in the process, otherwise we'd allow them to shoot first and ask questions later.
No company but I work to improve the quality of mental health services and to reduce stigma against mental ill-health.

Recently I've been trying to get people to pay attention to the appalling lack of in-patient mental health beds for children and young people in England. A young person who needs a bed may have to travel out of county, but also out of country to Scotland. (Health is devolved; Scotland has a different legal system. Someone detained under the Mental Health Act in England would have to be released from that and re-sectioned under Scottish laws. And Scotland is hundreds of miles away from some people's homes). There is some movement here - the relevant government officials are worried about it and are now doing work.

The weirdest part of tackling stigma is not dealing with the general community but is with tackling self-imposed stigma. I've met a few people who have said "I was told years ago that I'll never work again", and those people believe that they are unable to work. Mostly they could do some work, even if it isn't full time paid employment. Modern models are to keep people at work; or get people back to work as soon as possible.
I wouldn't call myself a linguist, but I've spent 3 or so years studying it at a university -- here's my take (after a relatively quick skim of the article and video):

The language hasn't evolved enough to have smaller divisible units. The use of the language, IMO, seems to be simplistic enough so that complex grammatical particles are needed. They probably have particles for simple particles like "that", "and", "the" or "this". A decent test would be to ask the ABSL speakers to create sentences in complex time-space situations.

> Is there a corresponding concept of "phonemes" into which words in other sign languages can be decomposed into?

From my limited experience, I don't think signs can be divisible like phonemes. There are definitely morphemes[1], however.

> And is ABSL already "mature" i.e. native language of some babies, or is it still in some sort of "pidgin" stage? Maybe it will become more "normalised" as time goes by.

It depends on what "mature" means -- and I also wouldn't consider it a pidgin. It's likely it's own language. If by "mature" one means that it's ready for both simplified transactions (i.e. S1: I want that apple. S2: Apple for a carrot? S1: OK) and relatively complex interactions (see the first interaction in the video of the OP), the language already accomplishes that. I would say that it's already mature.

The language will surely evolve as time goes on, especially once the "speakers" of the language get more connected. One big reason for ABSL's lack of "standardization" is probably due to the lack of interaction with different types of speakers -- I assume this is the case with rural areas such as theirs. Only then would speakers really analyze their speaking patterns and mold it into a way where they all understand each other.

I'm just typing this quickly at work, so any corrections are welcome.

Ah, well here is where I could use some advice. I disagree with the way they have gone about their hardware both in the sensing electronics and the hive box itself. I don't want to go into it here; I'd feel a bit rude criticizing someone else's work in a public forum.

Should you approach someone for collaboration if you don't agree with how they're going about the project?
Everything you said directly contradicts the article.

You don't even claim any special knowledge, since "anon music guy" is utterly meaningless.

If you work for either Apple or Beats then by all means go ahead and say so, if not then I'll just assume you didn't read the article.
Perhaps most interesting in my reading of the documents provided by the EFF is the correspondence regarding the counter-sue made by Rubin against the NJAG.

In it NJAG lay out exactly what they think Rubin did:

...Plaintiffs development, use and deployment of the Tidbit Code which, by plaintiffs own description, strongly suggests the code was designed to hijack consumer's computers to mine for bitcoins, including the computers of New Jersey consumers. Further, prior to the issuance of the Subpoena and Interrogatories, the Division determined that the Tidbit Code was present and active on the websites of entities located in New Jersey and Plaintiff affirmatively sent the Tidbit Code to the New Jersey based entities.

They posit that the code was

1. Designed to hijack a consumer's computer for the purpose of mining bitcoins

2. The computers targeted for hacking (implicitly the entire internet) include those of New Jersey consumers

3. The code was found on websites owned by New Jersey entities

4. Rubin sent the code "affirmatively" to those New Jersey entities

I think 1. is the weakest point, but that weakness is based on my understanding of the definition of 'hijack'. 2. and 3. seem to follow easily from assumptions, or could be easily shown as fact. 4. seems like it would be harder to prove, but I don't know the implications of the term affirmatively used here.
I've learned sign-language for 4 years (Not deaf), I'm not a linguistic expert, but I don't really get this…

Most sign languages (which emerge naturally just like spoken languages, some even think that they might have been there before) have simple, atomic signs for concepts/things. There are combinations of course, like pointing to your earlobe to add "female" to the sign before. So the specialty is that this language has no such combinations at all?

There are also parts of sign languages which aren't categorized clearly, especially when explaining visual/spatial circumstances. When signing "I bought a table, it's wooden and has a fine white line engraved along the edge." you probably won't use signs for "fine", "line", "along" or "edge". You would just describe it visually. There is probably not even a sign for "edge" which applies to this context.
Again, I'm not a linguistic expert, but I think that some of these characteristics might be hard to squeeze in "It's a word or not".
