I'm not in the valley, so I guess I don't understand the recent obsession with Peter Thiel. It seems like lately his name has popped up in HN comments over and over again.

There's a learning curve, but it isn't as fragile as the set if margin and position hacks that were standard before. Those old hacks are still used for supporting old browsers (IE8 and before), but flexbox simplifies things once you grasp it in applications.
I think it's just a standard 5xx error on a Heroku hosted site.
I think the key point is that it is very difficult for software to parse view-from-windshield images like this: http://blogs.bootsnall.com/chaskaconrow/files/2006/02/Chaska...

The human eye can instantly recognize the available driving paths, the motorcyclist ahead, and project where people will walk. Software would have to parse out where the open roads are, how far that motorcyclist is and whether he can clear the intersection before the car reaches it, and what that sign on the right-hand side is—using the same information, but it has to parse it first whereas we do that almost instantly. It's a totally different game.

I find HackerNews pretty good at highlighting the best content in non-flamewar articles. What I mean is that if the article isn't anything to do with the big tech companies we will get good discussions and people will up/downvote rationally. Whenever Apple/Google/Facebook etc. are mentioned the fanbois come out.
I'm pretty sure that xlrd decodes it all to unicode() in Python, so that should be a moot point. You would only need to worry about passing it as utf-8 to Vim at that point.
I've owned two Subarus, and this has never been recommended to me, even from the dealer.

Heroic civil disobedience, in my view, requires violating the law and accepting the consequences in protest. Both laureates Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela flouted the law and accepted the consequences. Were those two individuals adopting a position of subservience and weakness?

Snowden seems pretty subservient to Putin right now, and relies completely on him for his continued safety and asylum in Russia. He's in a pretty weak spot since Putin can dispense with him any time he wishes - either deport him or have him disappear, and the US won't raise a finger - but will keep him around as long as he's politically useful.
There is a subtext of “logic and reason will trump context” here, which is distinctly Rationalist in nature.

Part of the issue is an unfortunate framing of racisim, misogyny, etc. as being illogical. This misrepresents a structural issue; racism and misogyny are entirely logical within their respective ideological underpinnings.

Hence a core issue: that there is a congruency between conditions and events and an underlying ideological system. To suggest that one can transplant conditions and events of another ideological system (EG Rationalist to Teleological) is a myopically laughable proposition.
RAID is not a backup, zfs especially so. Zfs (and RAID) is designed to protect your data from a small, enumerable and specific set of failures, namely the right-there-in-the-acronymn "inexpensive disks".

If your house burns down ZFS will not save your data. If too many disks fail zfs will not save your data. If your disks' unrecoverable read error rate is too high and your array is rebuilding zfs will not save your data.

If your computer is fundamentally broken (which is what a machine with a persistent memory error is) zfs will not save your data.

Take backups.

If you had a 'stuck bit' anywhere in your memory space you'd be way deep into nasal demon unspecified behavior the first time you tried to dereference a pointer that crossed that bit. When your hardware is that broken you can't count on the OS to not stab your dog much less ZFS to do anything sane.

Note that this is just as true for all storage systems. Regular filesystems might corrupt themselves or do other insane things. Hardware RAID or kernel software raid will happily propogate the error. How many bits separate the kernel record for "this disk is totally cool" from "this is a new disk and should be zeroed"?

This article wasn't at all what I thought it was about.

To me, it's not automation that's the issue, it's how easy it is to get _wrong_ data out of this type of software. I think at a minimum you have to know the data well enough to ensure the numbers pass a "sniff test"; and hopefully, the user has a good knowledge of the schema they're pulling data from to know the pitfalls.

You don't have to be an expert, but knowing a little SQL to validate things can really help.
my bad. that shouldn't be possible. check remote only, if you are just interested in jobs that allow remote work. check include remote if you are interested in both remote jobs and also jobs at your location. check none if you are only interested in jobs at your location. sorry about that...

Well it is somewhat better because it occurs immediately when the null value passes from Java code with unsafe null into Ceylon code with safe nulls.

Having the compiler produce an actual error in this case seems wrong and excessive, since the compiler does _not_ know better than you whether javaMethod() can return null. It simply doesn't have that information when calling Java code.
> Yeah but can the computer be situationally aware to see the kid in the 2003 3 series bmw ahead of him on his cell phone and preemptively switch lanes when his head bobs down to send another text to the furthest lane away from him before he ever has a chance to pose a risk to you in the first place?

Probably about as much as the average driver. Hell, a lot of drivers on the road don't even notice a turn signal and get pissed that they're stuck behind a turning car in the lane.
Nope...still the same result

One day you may reflect on this and realize this was a good problem to have.

> Take a read of some of the earlier threads on HN about Shellshock, and you will find numerous people blaming Apache for not "escaping" the data it was putting in a shell variable.

It seems to me that this is the result of Cargo Cult Programming. People know that SQL strings, and user input need to be 'escaped,' so they just think "Obviously this needs to be escaped too! It's user input!" Yet they don't realize that they are trying to put a square peg in a round hole. They just know that pegs go through holes, so they keep banging away at it.

Also, it's always amazed me that there was never some sort of 'standard' way to shell-escape things, even though the shell has been around for ages. Why can't I generate a shell string in the same way that I generate a SQL string? E.g.:

sprintf("mv %t %t", src, dest);

Where "%t" is a special token that shell-escapes the input (e.g. "My File Name.txt" => "My\ File\ Name.txt"). Instead it's something where people continue to use ad-hoc, incomplete, of 'implemented everywhere' solutions to this.

Note: I don't generate SQL strings with sprintf(), but it's a close approximation of:

execute('select * from table where id = ?', id);
Also: "home page".
I don't think it's lacking (only lacking wrt Kotlin), but that it isn't one of the top two concerns of the language: i.e. it's possible and maybe kind of easy, but certainly not seamless. This might be (and I don't know enough about it, so this is conjecture) one of the reasons why writing Kotlin on Android is pretty simple, while Ceylon not so much. Kotlin also compiles to JavaScript, but it's much more a "hosted" language than one that tries to abstract away the host's native APIs.

You're doing great work with Ceylon, I like the type system, and I certainly wouldn't mind a "new JDK" that's as good as the current one minus all the warts that have accumulated over the years, but adopting Ceylon today, I think, is a much bigger risk than adopting Kotlin.
Suggestions for improving the API, to make it more valuable for data mining and analytics. This assumes more historical data is available.

1. Provide a way to bulk download the data (that's a click, instead of scraping the API)

2. Add a field for the maximum position a story reached on the front page

3. Add the numerical score for the comment (at least on comments that are N days old, which won't interfere with the reason to hide the scores on the main comments)

Some other changes that would be awesome (but are less realistic) include:

4. A historical event log of votes (even better would be relating those votes back to users, but I imagine that's not going to happen for privacy reasons. An intermediate possibility would be a vote log connected back to anonymized user ids, assuming the anonymous id -> real user id mapping is difficult)

5. A historical event log of display position changes for stories & comments

6. An event log of pageviews with as much metadata as possible to release without infringing on privacy

so in one corner: the ability to compose small, comprehensible functions with data streams, delivering staggering riches to the world.

in the other corner: the complaint that sometimes, people can put carriage returns in their filenames and screw up the output of `ls -1`. With no suggestion of what would replace composed functional streams.

Yes and do you think this benefits the workers or the companies?

You do know about the recent anti-trust lawsuit against several of the companies you named for their non-poaching agreements right?

These companies do all that they can to hold their workers' wages down.

> I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself.

Imagine how well you'd have done for yourself had you not been such a pushover.

EDIT:

I will also add that it has always been my philosophy that if you do not feel you deserve a raise, you're doing a shitty job.

Of course they approve. Monopoly dividends!
Pretty sure the going rate for a pen-tester is much, much higher than 100 usd an hour - and they would get paid even if they didn't find anything.
Talk about the perfect monopolistic business.

As Thiel said, if they are a true monopoly they will lie and say they are part of a much bigger market.
All I can say is No. If this is allowed to go forth without major concessions this is a travesty. My TWC is bad enough but Comcast is a whole new magnitude of hurt. I expect that I will be unable to access anything on the internet any more but what they want me to see and pay for. This type of merger is exactly why antitrust needs to exist.
I transcribed the full question and response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8437781

He was asked what he thought about women who are too afraid to ask for a raise. And he said he thought they were better off because people shouldn't ask for a raise anyway. The question did specify women, though really it's applicable to anyone who is too nervous to ask for a raise, and Nadella responded with a non-gender-specific response except an attempt to pander by saying being afraid to ask for a raise "might be an additional superpower" of female employees, in effect stating that women have superior political instincts.
Tesla Unveils Dual Motor and Autopilot [video]
I'm recalling some discussions with scientists in remote robotic surgery a few years back where I was told that for some truly high precision operations, the latencies become unmanageable past a point. I'd be curious to know if the state of the art has shifted at all, or if we really are starting to hit the limits of systems that require a certain bar of reaction time and precision.

Following from that, I wonder what bar Driving has, and as such, what distribution of "Controllers" we'd need to be safely within that, and if that would allow it to be viable.
I would be flabbergasted if the regulators looked at the rest of the world and decided to allow this sale. If anything, the whole debacle should prompt immediate action to drastically increase the competitiveness of that market.

Anything less, and people need to start talking about jail time because someone is on the take.
Not a utopia (no idea what that would look like). This is my bare minimum I set myself as I'm now on the market.

No open plan spaces or sharing. I want an office to myself or at least my own cubicle with full-height walls.

No mandatory overtime or hints at "we all work really hard." I expect to come in at 9 and leave at 5.

No waterfall process (yeah, it still exists)

SCM, reasonably recent toolset, clueful managers. The actual language or technology isn't that important as long as it's not trending towards obsolescence.

Market pay and benefits. I currently have 4+ weeks vacation and I just turned down a job where they said "everybody starts out at 2 weeks." F' that!
sounds like a conversation between Sheldon Cooper and Penny
The author seems to be mostly talking about misinterpreting results which is definitely a problem. I don't specifically see how "point and click" tools makes this problem worse (or better).

This really "humanized" them for me. Im far removed from startups and the culture out there. I've read the blogs. Its obvious PG is a smart individual, and from the outside it seemed like a culture "way above my league". Hearing this made me think it may not be so crazy to take a risk on a project I want to see happen. They both seemed very down to earth and approachable.

I can seem to reply to derefr, but to echo his comment, this will be a safety measure in the same way that Apple's TouchID is a security measure.

We know that a fingerprint is a bad password.It can't be changed, you leave copies everywhere, authentication is based on an approximation, etc. Strong, frequently changed passwords would be much better. But is it significantly better than the security on most people's phones: a 4 digit passcode, or none at all.
Unless you are an offspring or his partner I don't understand how can you say that, much less quantify it.

The next release of Kotlin has a change to the type system to make this a lot less painful, apparently. I'm waiting for it before proceeding with Kotlin.

As to kotlin vs ceylon, no real strong preference either way, they both seem strong. I'm planning on going with Kotlin longer term because I am already an IntelliJ user and because it has a Java-to-Kotlin converter.

> Google bug: "Timer 4:50 minutes" gives you a timer for 450 minutes.

I think that "4:50 minutes" is not a proper way to specify that time span. It would confuse me as well.
Best comment I've seen in a while.
I've moved around a lot and I've had both TWC and Comcast in several locations each. I actually found the service from Comcast to be far better than TWC. I mean, they're a loathsome company, but the actual quality of the service was quite good.

That said, I think this merger would be a terrible thing for all cable consumers in the US.

How about functions that operate on data structures such as lists and maps? These can include generic functions that can slice and dice data structures regardless of what type of data those structures contain.

That would be a major concession. Comcast-TWC would need to immediately cease all lobbying efforts to prevent municipal broadband. Furthermore, they would be required to lobby for municipal broadband whenever there was a push against it (lest they try to wiggle out by just funding opponents while not lobbying directly themselves).

[Note: I still don't think this would be a large enough concession to make the merger a net benefit to the public though.]
You can also use it on a single drive. You need to set copies=n for a ZFS dataset. If one copy gets corrupted a zpool scrub fixes this problem on a single drive. However HDDs are usually dying fast after signalling bad blocks to the OS so it's not a good strategy to avoid data loss.

Besides that the metadata is still replicated in a single-drive setup. So if you loose data you'll at least know exactly where the error was. This is still a benefit over ext4.
