This is the culture I was brought up in. This kind of article is the reason I grew up believing there was nothing wrong with homosexuality.

Since every single other comment here is inevitably going to be some kind of applause and praise, let me briefly offer the perspective of some who have been silenced on HN and in the general tech world.

We know that homosexuality is a destructive force in society. While we love Tim Cook as a fellow human being and wish the best for him, this news deeply saddens us. It's yet another small victory for the evil one, and it will create a very deep distortion in the minds of so many impressionable young people who will now have a very wrong idea of what "normal" sexuality is.

I'm aware this comment will be down-voted to [dead] status very quickly, since tech culture silences any dissent or deviance from their own progressive thinking. But it's my duty to speak the truth even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient. At the end of my life, at least I'll be able to say that I acted with integrity.

This is a good question. I worked at a small grocery chain (a dozen stores or so) that did a lot of their IT ad hoc. I wonder if the big consulting firms don't care or are too high priced to work with smaller businesses. Small business seems to be in a twilight zone between enterprise and consumer software. Not that there are not good reasons for this. I have found small business owners to be stingy and demanding. (Again, for legitimate reasons - their business is their baby and they can take it very personally.)
And Microsoft is mentioned because?

Lost a ton of people right there, highly unprofessional if this is the website you are showing to recruiters or hiring managers.
My experience with BTSync was not a very good one. If you try to sync a large number of folders (As in each folder as it's own share) then it eats up a ton of CPU/RAM. It wouldn't be as big of a deal but with the lack of selective sync that was the only way that I could implement my own selective sync.

The other big hangup I had was I want to be able to browse my data from my phone but not keep a full copy of it there which is impossible with BTSync.

Lastly I find their attempt to act "Open" laughable. The source is closed with vague hints that they might open it at some point and to use the API you have to REGISTER with them. To control software running on your personal machine from your personal machine you have to get an API from them. I am at a complete loss as to why this is needed.

I will not be using BTSync again and have been recently looking at Pulse (previously Syncthing) [0].

This is the whole idea behind economic specialization & division of labor[1]. And even if you were to be better at sending email than Mailchimp it's likely that you're even more better at your core competency which means that you should farm out your email sending and focus on your specialization.

Sorry. Fitbit Charge (black) is available for pre-order in Canada, ships in 3-4 weeks. I know this is 1-2 weeks longer than for the U.S. But it will still be shiny and new.

(I don't actually speak for Fitbit; I'm in site engineering)
Correct, they should compare the 2012 model quality to the 2014 dollhouse perspective (not the "streetview-esque photos"). (still better)
This is a great point. Most tools and services fail at ELI5 which is a missed opportunity for them (since they’re alienating potential users/customers).
We can assume you don't get enough sleep like the rest of us. What are you using then, soda?
The idea is that you area always better off if you have a personal connection to a human being.

Most hiring managers would be thrilled to be introduced to someone talented who comes recommended by someone they trust.

The point of having coffee is to have an informal chat which allows for lots of information exchange without the formality of an interview (for either party).

Also, you get a good sense of things like culture fit and interests, which can often make a big impact on hiring decisions.

In addition, that you want to get to know the manager is a good sign that you take your career seriously and want to work somewhere only if it's a very good fit.

People who already have a great job don't make knee-jerk career decisions. Doing a coffee signals that.
Yes, not only is the ink overpriced as hell, they can't even manage to make their office inkjets work without completely dying after a few thousand pages.

Would love it if Pulse had the option to encrypt the stored data (currently it only encrypts during transmission), so it could be used on untrusted hosts.
Typically caffeine headaches occur when you stop drinking it.
The reason is obvious - the postgres-driven version lets you query the system in realtime, rather than repeatedly updating the database through a manual process every so often.

I’m Bringing #DevOps into the Mainstream Like a Big Nasty Momma Cat
I define a language without a runtime as one that can run on bare metal without restricting yourself to a subset of the language. To use C on bare metal, the only thing you can't use is the standard library, which is not a part of the language itself (its not in the grammar, you don't need to make sure to avoid certain keywords). More simply, any program written without using an import needs to work without an operating system under it.

C++ requires runtime support because if you remove the underlying system, it becomes stunted. Keywords like 'new' and 'delete' stop working entirely, and so a program with no imports is not guaranteed to work. Any language with a GC falls under this, obviously. Rust, if I remember right, requires restricting yourself in order to do things like kernel writing.
Graphs are not mine, it's from Stripe engineers, so I've no control in how they are generated. About 90th vs 99th, I was talking about 99th but in the case of Redis latency spikes due to fork, you would get exactly the same graph as all the requests are delayed in this moment.
Even though this seems very simple, it looks like a great article for getting up-to-speed if you're not already familiar with these things. For many of us, they took a while and a lot of research and trial-and-error and word-of-mouth before we knew the things this tutorial teaches. Thanks for posting it :)
I did write a postgres database that served 9p as a hierarchical file system, pretty pointless tbh but it was a fun project
Clearly after becoming a castaway Earhart learned to fight and became a ninja. She managed to get of the Island, and when she returned she became a bad-ass vigilante. She didn't tell anyone she came back because that would have made it more likely that her secret identity would be discovered.
I completely disagree too. I'd be curious as to what you would consider good-looking for a product like this. Chime in with your thoughts on a good-looking design - thanks!
Reddit has rather more complex database queries than StackOverflow so that's not really apples to apples
Yes. You can transform data from one service to another. Inside the transform stream you can perform arbitrary data manipulation.

I am not hunting for recruiters, Igglyboo. When there is a thought to write something, it's never about what recruiters would think.
It has been a few years since I have been saddled with email responsibilities so it's not surprising I am a little behind the times. But it still doesn't mean you shouldn't be checking that customers are receiving your emails.
Tell: Got 50% bump for faking a counter offer
I lied about another counter offer at negotiation time and the new company bumped the total offer package from $170,000 (base $130,000) to $260,000 (base $155,000 ) to match the fake counter offer and also bumped the offered titled two levels up. Shows the importance having a counted offer. I have 9 years of software development experience and current and new company is in Seattle Area. Just wanted to say it to somebody about the guilt which I cannot refuse to have.
Of course, Turing was one of many. But he was one, and that's enough to make the homophobes run for the hills.
The kindness requirement is awesome and refreshing. I was shocked just how much vitriol gets spewed in an average workplace, directed at customers, fellow employees, inanimate objects. I gravitate towards the people I work with that aren't like that, so specifying 'kindness' right up front is great.
Homosexuality was still a crime in his day (up to 2003), so I doubt it was well-known if this is true.
Tim Cook is literally one of the worst CEOs Apple could possibly have. That's really cute that he came out and did his little PR stunt. Who fucking cares, he never actually does any work for the company.

>Hey Tim, wanna back-port the bash patch to older Macs?

>I gotta go on CNN and parade my sexuality around, I'll get back to you on that :^)

The fucking loser sits on excel min/maxing bullshit numbers for shit that really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. He never talks to anybody, just sits in his office all day long. Complete introvert that is literally just a waste of space. He can't even thru-hole solder. The biggest mistake Jobs ever make in his life was putting this subhuman in charge of something he has no clue how to control. Cook is kill, the company has no future.
> and nearly all have the same problem, which is that any data you upload can be decrypted by the provider.

The author includes SpiderOak under this statement. Whilst I understand that they can decrypt anything if you give them the password through their web interface, I was under the assumption that this wasn't possible if you never downloaded any of your files through their web interface.

Am I under a false assumption here? Is there something I am missing?
> I have a hard time thinking of anyone as Christian if they ignore the basic tenants of what the Bible says.

You can be an adulterer and a Christian. You can commit any sin imaginable and still consider yourself a Christian. Homosexuality is no different.
Missed the "Stripe blog post" part, sorry for the misdirection.
If you don't outsource this type of service (preferred solution imho) then from the very beginning you have to monitor internally (the solution done after the fact) and also and most importantly externally, in this case having one or more monitored client-like email accounts.
Give me a break with all these "Oh, I commented about a similar thing yesterday therefore I am a prophet" comments.
Thank you! Took some of your pieces of advice into consideration.
What an excellent article, thanks for sharing.

"Despite such evidence, one reason why Americans find it hard to believe Buchanan
could have been gay is that we have a touching belief in progress. Our high
school history textbooks’ overall story line is, “We started out great and have
been getting better ever since,” more or less automatically. Thus we must be
more tolerant now than we were way back in the middle of the 19th century!
Buchanan could not have been gay then, else we would not seem more tolerant now."
Yeah, you have to change this right away.

It's unfortunate that you have to white wash your appearance, but you have to realize that any negative signal will be interpreted by HR. Sometimes it's actually a pretty good filter regarding personality.

In any case, the rest of your profile/resume looks slick. Good luck!
oyanglulu,

Do you use gira, at first glance it like it only works on public repos? It looks like an acceptable but rather thrown together alternative to both Huboard and Zenhub.

(Background: we used Huboard, but essentially have too many issues for it to handle & I'm curious what other workflows people use and if Zenhub could handle what Huboard can't.)
If by "President" you mean the equivalent "head of a country's government" role then Iceland elected an openly gay Prime Minister in 2009[0]. But I'm guessing you're all meaning "US President"

What kind of job are you looking for right now?
It's important to remember two things: First, in a more general way, fork() is kind of slow just by virtue of being a system call and involving several steps, so applications try to avoid making lots of calls to fork (e.g. webservers long ago stopped doing the naïve fork-for-every-request model).

Redis uses fork in a way nobody else seems to. Applications using tens of gigabytes of RAM -- databases, media editing, etc. -- just don't usually fork except during a startup process.

Redis uses fork for persistence. It's clever, and it works great in general, but it's weird! Unique, even. It seems much more likely to hit a fork() weakness in a noticeable way than almost any other application out there.
If you don't want to buy Fitbit Premium, there's always https://ifttt.com/fitbit or https://www.fitbit.com/apps or using the API yourself.
Yes, you will possibly be downvoted, but not because your opinion dissents with the majority. There are plenty of dissenting opinions on HN who get upvoted to the top, as long as they're well argued and informed.

You will be downvoted because your comment has no substance to it. The only claim you make is "we know that homosexuality is a destructive force in society", and it isn't backed up by any meaningful conversation or argument. The rest of your writing is just fluff around this statement.

Sadly, you can't back up such a statement with any meaningful prose, just the same way you can't back up "we know that blue eyed people are a destructive force to society" or "we know that people over 6ft are a destructive force to society".

If you hold equality and respect for your fellow human being as first principles, which many people on HN do, you can't logically derive "homosexual people are a destructive force to society" in any meaningful way.

That is way your comment will probably be downvoted.
there are those who are trying to require religious organizations to perform same-sex weddings. I think that qualifies as "pushing"...
I imagine they are in a tough spot: how will they ever make any money off this product if it's fully open source? The whole point is that it needs no central server.

Thanks for the link to Pulse, it looks very compelling. Have you encountered any significant hurdles with it?
np at all, thanks.
Err, section 6.1 in the pdf, not in Adam's blog post.

To do any kind of business or work with people you need to build trust. With blog titles like these someone will lose interest as it portrays you as unprofessional and someone hard to trust.
No, the opposite - I assume most people know Tim Cook is around the age most CEOs are. Both men grew up in a time where homosexuality was considered to be immoral. Growing up in such an environment ingrains those beliefs, hence gay people coming out in their 50s and other men in their 50s who are surrounded by people that accept gay relationships still not being comfortable with that.

Off topic, it kind of bothers me that I got mischaracterised and couldn't reply for such a long time due to the silly HN rate limit.
How exactly is someone being gay a "destructive force in society"?

Continue college so that you can learn and build up your business and technical skills. You will be able to create a better startup with a better set of skills, experiences and personal network - develop these while you're in college!

It's impressive that you've built a business in the first place. Try not to second guess your decision as you will probably go on to do bigger and better things :)

Caffeine headaches? You mean the headaches that people get when they try and take away my caffeine and I hit them in the head?
If you drink good coffee it's amazing all by itself.
Here's a trick I've been using: if you are driving and start feeling tired, hold your breath. Your brain will go into a bit of a panic mode: "Where's all the O2?!", and you will feel more awake for a short period of time. Do note, that this is a great trick to get you to the rest area 3 miles down the road, not a good way to drive all night long.
At least wrt searches you can easily send info to, say, AOL, every browser, Y.B included, allows that. (It is interesting for the Russian-speaking auditory to note that Y.Browser doesn't include search engines of other Yandex's competitors on the Russian market - Mail.ru and Rambler, while it has Ask, Bing and whatnot).
Precisely. And the inability to sustain this argument is why gay marriage bans are failing in court. The legal conclusion is that there isn't even a "rational basis" for the bans.
Fork has always been a mutant feature. Split the entire process into twins? So that the caller can immediately exec() and discard the tediously-cloned twin and become a different program? Its the most egregiously inefficient feature ever to grace an operating system. Page tables, stacks, heap allocations, file handles - all cloned and then discarded.
We know that homosexuality is a destructive force in society.

Who is "we"?
"We know that homosexuality is a destructive force in society" - NOPE.
I often have a cup of tea, but that's often herbal. I rarely ever drink soda. Strangely, I'll still ask people if they want to meet for coffee, even though I don't drink it. It just seems to be the standard beverage for these sorts of things.
Who is "we"? How do you know? If you get downvoted, it won't be because of your opinion but rather your statement of something that is not backed up. Especially the part about "normal" sexuality -- how are you defining "normal", and why does it even matter? HN is all about "don't get a normal job, instead be a startup founder"... so why should everyone be "normal" (whatever that is) with their sexuality as well?

And about this "the evil one"... how do you know what his/her/its desires are?

I find it interesting that your HN Profile says this:

> Computer engineer and programming language pragmatist (as opposed to fanatic or over-principled).

...I wonder if you could apply those same principles to life in general?

"nearly all have the same problem, which is that any data you upload can be decrypted by the provider". SpiderOak and Wuala do client-side encryption iirc.
I would go with your gut.
Yes. Only, I have never been a habitual drinker of coffee. When I started drinking regularly for a short period, I stopped once I noticed the pattern. For me, cheese and chocolate, as well, triggers a migraine.

I have not done more than look at it so far but I heard good things about it when it was still called Syncthing. As for making money off OS code there are a number of companies doing it (Free code + paid services). BTSync could offer help to enterprises setting it up internally, they could offer a cloud to sync your data to (encrypted), they could offer pro-features (like some stuff Dropbox offers). The whole point is that it needs no central server but the sheer existence of an API key means there IS a central server that this all relies on...
