Pretty impressive! I haven't used any disassembly tools in years and only remember last time I did I found it useless. Not sure if that was due to my lack of understanding or the generated output or rather a combination of both.
This thing however: I fed it with an OpenGL test app which doesn't do much but still has hundreds of lines of modern C++ spread over different libraries and could clearly recognize lots of my functions in it and follow some program flow starting from main. Still hard but at least I didn't feel completely lost like years ago.

WePay is hiring software engineers
WePay is looking for talented and motivated software engineers to join our rapidly expanding team. Our transaction volume has more than tripled year-over-year, and we need your help to scale our customers’ payments to even higher levels over the next few years. We are eager to grow our team of engineers who love programming, take pride in the quality of their code, and are at least decent at ping pong (rock climbing is a nice-to-have).

Requirements:

You must be a great coder that loves to write efficient and maintainable code. We believe that great coders can adapt to whichever new language they need to, whether it’s Java, Python, PHP, Javascript, C++, Scala, Ruby, or any other SEO-optimized buzzword, so we don’t care what background you have (unless you have solely coded in brainfxck). And in fact, we have outgrown our current PHP-MySQL environment and are in the process of architecting our next-generation architecture, so we will be excited to make full use of your experience and perspectives as we select the right tools for the job.

You must be able to take complete ownership over a bug, feature, or entire project and drive it to completion. We have to trust that each of our team members can work in relative independence because we hate micro-managing.

You must be open-minded, flexible, and have a pragmatic approach to solving problems. The payments industry can be baffling at times, so we value people who can persevere and continue to make progress with a positive attitude.

One or more of the following specialized skills would be awesome:

* Front-end expertise, including JavaScript, CSS, AngularJS

* Back-end expertise, including extensive database experience

* High Availability and Distributed Systems

* Big Data experience, including Hadoop and/or Storm

* Machine Learning and Modeling

* Experience in Risk and Fraud Detection

* Experience in payments and PCI compliance

* Expertise in Security

* Team Lead experience

If you have any interest or questions about WePay, please contact me directly at steven at wepay.com. I'm an engineer, not a recruiter, so your email will get a response.

Podemos is undoubtedly an Internet phenomena. A modern and open party that not just uses Reddit for coordination and keeping in touch with its voters, but also makes use of tools like Agora Voting[0] for Liquid Democracy/online referendums, and mobile apps for transparent group decisions.

They say about themselves that "they're not really a Party but a tool for disrupting politics" and I think this is quite accurate... they've gone from 0 to front-runner in 5 months.

> There is no political Left in Europe.

That very much depends on which country you look at. For example, in NL we have the SP, in Germany 'Die Linke'. There are probably many like that in other countries as well.

There's a slight difference between a government entity performing its unique duties as described by law and a government entity breaking the law to perform its unique duties.

It is legal for a police officer to kill in the line of duty under certain circumstances. It is illegal for the same police officer to commit a murder outside his duties even while on the job.

Things I Learned from Building a Large Scale Backbone + Marionette Application
> Representativeness: not possible in Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Portugal among others, since they use the proportional list system.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Are you talking about undue importance given to small parties in such systems?

> Separation of powers: not happening in Spain. The most voted political party in the legislative elections forms government.

That's not how separation of power works...

> Imperative mandate: Sieyes abolished it during the French Revolution and it still to be restored in all Europe. The elected candidates in the legislative elections should remain loyal to their promises.

I'm also not sure what you mean by "imperative mandate". As for promises... well, there are promises and there is political expediency.

> Different elections: for executive and legislative (like in France)

I'm stopping you right here. It makes very little difference in practice, since the elections for the lower chamber happen right after the presidential elections. I also don't see how it's a benefit in general. It suffers from the idiotic, anti-democratic first-past-the-post system. I'd rather have a token President and a PM coming from a coalition instead.

The lesson can be had independently of the intent of douchery. Shit happens, and learning from your mistakes (by admitting them) is a fine way to get better at what you do.
GPG authenticates that a particular key was used to sign a message. Key signing authenticates that a particular person claimed control of that key at some point.

There's nothing preventing you from using core.typed (http://typedclojure.org/) in Clojure. There's a presentation from CircleCI on how they use core.typed (http://blog.circleci.com/supporting-typed-clojure/) where it makes sense for their projects.
> I agree, New Relic's pricing model is almost too "enterprise".

That was also my conclusion, if you look at the list of companies that uses them you will get a list of some very big businesses. And they can probably afford it, which is good for NewRelic.

> I know there's plenty of ways to replicate New Relic, but who has the time?

You could probably use their software, and build a collector for the data, but that doesn't really solve the issue of not building an alternative service.

I presumed the GP was referring to the use of the term in the linked article - which is American, even if it's talking about something happening in Europe. I'm not saying that the American definition is to be preferred, I was just pointing out the potential disconnect.

From what I've seen core.typed isn't all that much more verbose than Scala annotations and certainly a hell of a lot more readable.
> Freedom of speech mean that these ideas can be challenged in the public sphere.

I will note that much of HN doesn't seem to believe this - when the Brendan Eich thing happened, and people were choosing to boycott Mozilla for his views (thus using their freedom of association and freedom of speech to call for him to be removed from that post), many seemed to believe that Brendan Eich's rights to freedom of speech and political freedom were being attacked by anybody who chose not to associate with him because of his views.

The fact is, any individual or entity can, and should, choose not to associate with those who they see as causing harm to others. That's an individual choice. Free speech and free thought should not mean that anybody give anybody else a free pass to cause harm or spread ideas that are likely to cause harm - and we should use every right we have to ensure this, so long as it doesn't end up with people losing their rights to food, water, shelter, and (a duty of the Government and the people) protection from direct abuse.

Your right to freedom of speech do not mean that I have to listen to you, interact with you, or provide a platform for you, no matter whether I'm one person or a multinational. You can be angry that I won't - I'm angry that the mainstream media won't give my minority a platform - but I don't have to. The only entity which has to be fair is the Government.

Let's say you have a queue processor called Q. It takes in jobs described by tuples of (hours, utility) like (8,1), (2,4), (5,15).

Using the above example, you make an interesting observation: if your queue processor processes only two items, it has an efficiency of (1+4)/(8+2) = 0.5 utilities per hour. If you process three items, it shoots up to (1+4+15)/(8+2+5) = 1.33 utilities per hour.

Remarkable! It would seem that the more items on the queue you process, the more efficient this queue processor becomes. Perhaps you have just discovered the Law of Increasing Marginal Queue Processing Utility.

Or perhaps the queue is being processed in the wrong order.

even though I do not agree with your thought, I do find the article somewhat useful, in content of the example and the reference book about the Object Orientated Programming.
Heaps aren't bounded in systems contexts; a process is free to gobble up the entire address space if left unchecked, which would (hopefully) result in your process being killed by the OS.

I believe we have discussed your first bullet point there, with regard to attempting to free waiting-for-the-scope-to-end-but-not-being-used memory in the event that allocation fails. But this is a hairy subject, and is beyond my expertise.

Note that your third bullet point does cause memory to be freed immediately, because the `drop` function is a scope all its own.

Its difficult to balance ease of use with vulnerabilities like this one. Our product Sococo requires a moderator to enter email addresses of invitees to a group. This is more secure, but slows down our adoption rate. We've resorted to a more direct marketing approach to overcome this, but in the end our clients are more secure.
For certain types of academic work (e.g., writing a book) the mental cost of initially loading all the relevant material into working memory takes a very long time, so once I've paid this upfront cost, I tend to keep working as much as physically possible to amortize the upfront costs.

If I stop working at 5pm like salaried ppl (or say 8pm like startup ppl), then the next day I'll have to spend another 2--3 hours to get back to the same mental state. I rather continue push on and ship something tonight (with some damaging health effects) than pay the upfront costs again tomorrow.
I have to agree - in many people's eyes it's 'xenophobic' due to not having been the case in the past, even where it by all rights should have been.
Sharing ideas, does more good or bad?
My understanding is that stripe has always done some level of fraud protection (e.g. Monitoring to ensure someone isn't incrementing through card numbers to find one that works)

This seems like a necessary component of any "effective acquiring bank"[1] because of where the liability falls. In the event of fraud, Stripe can get hosed and they need to protect themselves.

I imagine they wouldn't have taken the step of lowering their payout delay from 7 days to 2 days unless they were confident in their fraud detection abilities.

Can you elaborate on what about WePays fraud protection is better? Am I dead wrong?

Note: in no way affiliated with Stripe, just once considered starting something in this industry.

[1] I'm defining Stripe and WePay as "effective acquiring banks." I guess you can call them ISO's too. They're positioned somewhere in the web of words - but bottom line is that their the ones that find merchants that need to process cards.
That's not true at the moment. It is true that some polls give the sum of the two major parties less than 50% of the votes, but the electoral law is far from being purely proportional, so they would still get more than 50% of the seats.
It's not a good argument. DRM is an executable contract. Contracts cannot enforce themselves. That is why we have police, courts, etc. The fact that it is an executable contract makes it more difficult to circumvent than a paper one, but circumvention is still circumvention.

> "low-salary" permanent research positions that may exist in some european countries for instance

Hmm, I'd be interested in learning more; sounds like the kind of position I want. :-) Around here (Nordic region) I don't know of any such positions though. There are teaching-only positions, which can be a good option if you like teaching but not research: no grant or publication pressure, just a stable job with reasonable work hours. And there are regular faculty positions, with the usual teaching/service/research/management mix. But I don't know of an option to go research-only, at least in CS. In some areas you could work for a state agency as permanent research staff, but I don't know of any that do CS research (civil-service research positions do exist in areas like historical archives, social science, energy policy, international relations, healthcare policy, etc.).

edit: I did think of one place with such positions, the French state technical research institute INRIA. Maybe I should learn French...
I use ssh -X [1] since it runs the application as an untrusted client, not able to interact with or manipulate or sniff from other windows. ssh -Y is the trusted equivalent.

I'm semi-serious. I know NewRelic, as we use it at work and it's good. I don't know those other products, so the "explanation" didn't explain anything to me. Comments HN excel (sometimes) at distilling the merits of using these products in a way that press releases that a google search finds really do not.
