I struggled with a similar question to this when I first began working, and I think my own answers to that one will help you in answering this one.

First, the way you framed the question implies many external motivators for work don't match with the possible rewards, when in fact a lot of people who are sweating hard for someone else's dream are driven by internal motivators. Why not put your all into what your do, regardless of who benefits the most? I guarantee you, you will gain a lot of insight into what your capabilities are when you find out your maximum operating capacity. At the very least, when I see someone that puts enormous effort into something they don't necessarily believe it, it makes me contemplate just how much effort they would put into something they truly do believe in.

Next, to completely demolish my last point, I came to understand that all of these internal and external motivations were very weak when it came to whether or not I'd execute on something. The truth, as I see it, is that motivation is like having a sailboat which rely on strong winds to blow you in one direction or another. When these winds die down in one direction, you start steering your rudder towards another direction that can return you to the same level of progress towards your goal. Instead, the key is having discipline, which is like having an engine that could push out in any direction no matter the state of the wind. These startup environments are one of the ultimate areas to test and strengthen discipline, as you have to push the limits that most people would shrug off as impossible work conditions. Succeeding in that environment is also a means of building your confidence up in order to take on larger tasks, such as starting your own business.

It's also possible that a lot of the people you are seeing working long hours are doing so because they're optimizing for long term gains (such as increased job skills, more company responsibilities, startup contacts) which will increase the likelihood of their startup being successful when they do strike out on their own.
Would anyone be willing to explain when this is used? I'm a little confused, is this format for patch updates from the client to the server? If so, then I assume it's for NoSQL db's that have deep documents, so that you know what part of the document needs to be updated... do you currently have to send the entire document in a patch? Are there client side model libs that will track object changes and format output in this way for the patch request (the js libs listed on the page look pretty low level)? Or am I misunderstanding this entirely...

Brendan Eich is entitled to his opinion, and a large not for profit is entitled not to want someone with that opinion as a figurehead.

Right. It's really quite simple.

All this support of Eich as some kind of a martyr (or a victim of reverse bigotry, in any way comparable to the bigotry Eich promotes through his donations) is grossly misplaced.
"Internal error while provisioning. We're looking into it! In the meantime, try creating and launching a new cluster."

Tried launching like half a dozen clusters (both custom and default)

Would also be nice to see a post-process set up tutorial on security (iptables and whatnot that people here are talking about)

The execution on GCE was much better imho with VPN support and generally better security (albeit the cluster cost was significantly pricier).

I emit carbon each time I exhale. But I would not be surprised if I'm surrounded by sentient vegetables.

The debate about climate change is much more productive. Eventually someone has to realize we have to stop mistreating the ocean.
One can ignore the Old Testament in its entirety and still be a Christian who believes being gay is wrong - it is addressed, albeit briefly, in the New Testament.
The second part of your post shows you're starting to understand that Apple doesn't do key escrow and can't decrypt data encrypted with the passcode today or ever before. You go off tilting at windmills to show that they can get data stored in iCloud. That was never in doubt. This whole thread has been about whether they have the keys to decrypt encrypted data on the device. They don't.
If you are born poor in America the statistics show that you will stay poor. Despite the belief that there is mobility between classes in the US, that is largely decreasing. Thanks to cutbacks on public schools, a regressive tax system, etc the upward mobility in the US has been steadily decreasing.

The parent's point has nothing to do with genes, but rather their hypothesis is that the poor as a % of population in the US will grow. While the educated white collar demographic will decrease.
Actually, exploiting the poor is one thing that Tim Cook and Mother Teresa could find common ground on.
> When you are made to feel unwanted, excluded, and otherwise not welcome it is natural to go elsewhere in search of inclusiveness.

Sure, but the GP wasn't talking about a particular group rejecting them, but rather "stop sympathizing with the entire modern feminist movement". That's an extreme reaction to disliking a subset of the movement's followers.

> This is a far more common reaction than that of adopting sympathy for those excluding you. No aspect of this should be surprising to a feminist.

Nobody's asking for personal sympathy or contribution, but rejecting Feminism due to a few bad Feminists is stupid. Especially if you claim to have been aligned with the Equality argument beforehand. How does that even work?

(attempt to reverse engineer a thought process leading to this)

1) thinking "Hey, men are dicks towards women. That ain't right. We need to equalize things as much as possible!"
2) meets bad feminists, receives abuse
3) thinking "Fuck it - Equality, yes, but not for you; I don't like you. NVM on the whole Feminism issue."

Absurd. You didn't really believe in equality in the first place. Demanding and supporting equality should have nothing to do with your personal likes and dislikes.
By saying "I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me" he is directly confronting those who discriminate for religious reasons, probably the majority.

I think it is savvy of him to meet it head-on, to prod people to maybe reconsider their reflexive religious beliefs.
You're correct. Thanks for adding that.

Interesting idea of "provably fair" (not sure if it's original), but you could probably elaborate more on that in the How It Works section.

As I understand it, a sha256 digest is generated from a pre-generated hit sequence. But it's not 100% clear how average players can benefit from that information.
No. You're wonderful. But... don't tell anybody we said that.
You see, I'm upset when someone uses some law to forbid what seems normal to me, but this would be subjective. And I agree with you for the major trait of your discourse: To each country, their customs and laws, provided it was legally decided by the People. So it's quite on purpose that I kept my comment strictly apolitical... however clearly opinionated:

I didn't say the Singaporean law is stupid or retarded. I'm underlining the huge leap.

It's up to the reader really to forge an opinion. Let's not forget that Singapore is a very developed country, has major exchanges with our other countries of the western world, include trade, research, patents, high-educated migrants both ways and we have influence both ways. And yet, they don't guarantee some citizenship rights (aka: immediate arrestation and 2 years jail time) on the basis of what you would do in a private room between two consenting adults. Up to the reader to make an opinion.
> The USA looks less and less like a democracy _for_ the people the more I learn about it.

It's what people get when they come up with their own fancy interpretation of the meaning of the word "freedom".

Enjoy a lot of individualism? Well, better be prepared to live with the consequences.

N.B.: I grew up under communist dictatorship, so I know the other extreme too. Both are pernicious.
To put a positive spin on this terrible story, offering generous leave and other benefits is one way startups can punch above their weight when hiring. With regards to maternity & paternity leave it's also just the right thing to do.

I think my single favorite part about being a founder is that I get to create the kind of company that I want to work at.
Usually the compilation is automatic, but you've got the gist of how it works. Saving time isn't usually the main point of these compile-to languages. They usually do something better than the underlying language. In this case, it's the goal is probably more uniform syntax.
Vertex skinning [1] (code at [2]) is a classic example. (This code is not vectorized, but it could easily be and is usually vectorized via intrinsics in games.) Any 3D game that wants to animate human characters over a long period of time is likely to be using this technique. Since we want games to run on the Web, of course, this is a use case for Web sites.

For clients that are after 'free' email I set them up with an account at Gandi (transferring the domain if necessary) and for those willing to pay a little bit more, the Fastmail business account is definitely the way to go.

Both options are very inexpensive and if the client still wants cheaper I would probably refer them to someone else for advice.
Well, the 'standard library' is a bit of a flexible concept in Rust. We have 'libcore' and 'libstd'. core is what's still usable without any runtime support whatsoever, and std does.

I mean, none of Rust's _features_ don't work without runtime support, but libraries that need tasks (threads) and task unwinding require the runtime. Those are all library features not language features.
Old addiction. I started with FIDOnet. At that time, in the dawn of networking, it was generally a good idea to explicitly put "smiles" - an ugly way to communicate a "mood of not being too serious". Something like that fake, polite smile in Japanese culture, intended to relax a "tough" adversary. It worked well back then.

Now it looks rather silly, I admit.
Warning: for the sake of your faith in HN and in humanity, do not read this thread, especially not from the bottom up. I did - big mistake, day ruined.
I personally am all about encouraging people to make all the new languages and tools they want, even if it duplicates existing stuff. But I also agree that the comparison with the similar stuff should probably be mentioned.

There's lots of reasons for a hobby or research project to reinvent a particular wheel. Not everything has to be efficient or practical. But it's probably at least worth considering.

I had similar experiences with the earlier alpha/beta releases using a ton of CPU/RAM and having a ton of other issues, but lately it's been working quite well. I sync a lot of files, over 30GB, and Dropbox and Google Drive did a spectacularly poor job with that kind of load as well.

The iOS app for BTSync absolutely lets you browse your shares and download individual files. Otherwise I would not be able to use it.

My cloud server is a g1.small on GCE, and I run Sync inside Docker on that instance. The same server also runs a bunch of other crap, and it's far from resource constrained.

About once a year I went through the exercise of "let's try replacing Dropbox with something" and this time, with BTSync, I have been able to finally get rid of it, with the exception of a few mobile apps that rely on it.

I agree it could be more open, and I'm always on the lookout for a better solution, particularly one with similar encryption capabilities. If you haven't tried BTSync in a while, perhaps it's worth another look.

Sync still has room for improvement, but it does seem to be constantly improving.
There are lots of issues, can take a while to find all the use cases in them (work has been ongoing for some time). But from memory I can recall that

https://github.com/johnmccutchan/ecmascript_simd/issues/59

is interesting here, it mentions, among other things, the major SIMD-using code portion from an important real-world codebase (IMVU).

Might also be relevant discussion on the emscripten repo,

https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%...

as some debate happened there while implementing code generation that emits SIMD.js.
To most Americans, $1k is not a "minor" amount of money.

Furthermore, the exact amount of money that he donated is fairly irrelevant anyway. The donation, no matter it's magnitude, serves to illustrate what he believes. If I made a $1 donation to the local KKK group, would you make excuses for me because $1 is a trivial amount of money? Of course you would not.

> employers in the U.S. do not care about mothers of young children at all, unless we’re consumers of their products. It might be more accurate to say that they view us as horrible useless burdens who need to be ushered back to full-time work as swiftly as possible. They will do anything in their power to keep employees from exercising their federally guaranteed rights

This opinion would not be out of place on this site where some users complain about other workers not working hard enough simply because they had the gall to leave at their contractually appointed time.
To add, you get more time off for disability if you're a birth mother in California.

So from 4 weeks before birth to 6 weeks after, you can also get 55% of salary, up to $1,075/week. Then you can take on the additional 6 weeks of paid family leave.
The guidelines say to write as if you were face to face to a person. You wouldn't probably mention those nasty things, or at least you try to hide it behind constructive criticism.

Take this one step further: For everything you write, imagine the utmost authority on that topic reading your post. A blunt example: A rant about Python syntax. Imagine Guido van Rossum reading that during his coffee break.

Do not post if you can not add anything to the discussion. Assume your debater is smarter than you and knows more on the subject. This is still HackerNews. Ask someone if they have won the Putnam prize, and you may be unpleasantly surprised. [1]

> I'm not following the reasoning here. Both movements are about equality; one focuses on gender, the other on sexual identity/orientation. They are very much two sides of the same coin (the humanEqualityCent)

I don't follow his reasoning either, as stated, but there is a question of subcultures, subcultural values, specific ideologies within the movement, and most importantly: composition.

There are many ways that these two movements differ. And while both movements attract some unpleasant people who damage the reputation of the movement as a whole, the way this plays out in feminism is a little different from how it plays out with LGBT rights.

So its not surprising to me that some people might (based on their personal experiences) think that one is toxic and the other isn't.
Oh. Dear. God. JavaScript is going to become the x86 of our time, i.e., the historically awful patchwork of kludges that gets passed onto each generation to kludge anew which also runs the entire world. JavaScript: we don't have integers, but, dammit, we have vector instructions. FML.

Maybe it's not too late to take up painting.
I thought he walked out on the match because he was upset that the computer DIDN'T behave like a human. Huh. Weird, these narratives.
I imagine the pain of setting clojurescript or cljx up with repls and such will soon be eclipsed by one of these dead simple compile to js lisps which seem to be coming out with increasing speed.

Just musing, but just supporting a js target could replace clojure in entirety since the jvm also has a js runtime.
> At least your kids (...) will have both bloods?

Are you sure you thought this through?
I imagine, just like everything else, it doesn't work the same way for everyone. I have tried several techniques of this personally, including filling my lungs and holding my breath, and exhaling completely and holding my breath. The latter works better for me. I have no special training but I can hold my breath for about a minute if my lungs are full. The problem there seems to be that it gets me even sleepier. However, if I exhale and hold my breath it only takes about 10-20 seconds and the response is very immediate and sharp.

I should also note that I don't tend to pass out. Last time I came close to passing out, I was in a state where most people would have (blood pressure at 70/40). Perhaps this trick is not for you if you pass out easily.
Just want to point out that (while rare outside of government jobs I imagine). Some employers offer very low cost insurance you can take out that guarantees you pay, for up to a certain number of months off, if you pay into it. My wife and I are in the age range where most people procreate so she will put money into this until we decide we will no longer be considering child birth. Unfortunately, I cannot recall exactly what the term for this is, but I do know it's about 9 USD a month for us and guarantees us that she will receive full pay throughout the 12 weeks for FMLA. We are located in MN and this is a government job. My main point is always make sure to be aware of what options are available. Things at most places make just having a child incredibly difficult for families (as if it's not inherently difficult enough) so do as much research as possible, until we have a better, mandated system for protecting women who are giving birth (and nursing which is a whole other subject where we need to make some serious changes for women's/families' rights).
Sorta but the people that find themselves in that situation will [usually] run out of money before the Cancer either:

A) Kills them
B) Is Cured

Losing an income is kinda a big issue when you still have to pay cash for the medical insurance. ACA just fixed one issue. It didn't fix the underlying problem of:

Major Health Event == Bankruptcy Due To Loss of Income

It fixed it for many middle class folks [e.g. programmers] that can save enough to survive that kind of event. I doubt someone making $10-12/hr can save enough.
Dacuda 3DAround – Photography in 3D
It's weird.

There once was a time where, if you were gay, or were close to people who were, you'd pick up hints about others who were gay. These hints would come from others who were gay, or gay-friendly. And they would be passed along like that.

As you moved closer to circles of power, you'd know more and more powerful people who were gay. But there was a code: you didn't bring it up publicly, or with outsiders. (Unless you wanted to be cruel.)

With this knowledge came power. You could read people and situations, understand hints and special relationships. It's a kind of x-ray vision.

But, if you were not gay, and were not close to people who were, you would be completely unaware. You might assume you didn't know anyone who was gay!

Such people were surprised when Rock Hudson (who everyone knew) was outed as gay just before he died of AIDS in 1985. They were surprised when other public figures were outed the same way, even (seriously!) "obvious" cases like Liberace.

We are now somewhere between that world (which was complex and had fascinating intrigues) and a different world (which is more open and fairer).

Source: before I met my wife, I didn't know anyone who was gay. But in fact, I was just ignorant that I already did.
>By contrast, Tim Cook continued contracts with Foxconn with the sole goal of minimizing production costs by using underpaid overworked labor

Do you have any proof of this or citations on it? Everything I've seen about Apple regarding its supply chain is that it goes above and beyond the minimum needed to be in compliance, and they seem to genuinely care about the well being of their employees in China.
Hey ahstilde. First thanks for checking out the site.

Here are some things I posted on /r/webdev yesterday. My response wasn't particularly towards SO but sites in general where some of our offerings may overlap. Here is the link to the original thread if you're interested http://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/2knvpg/codehive_a_co...

With CodeHive we wanted to encourage users to ask questions and not be deterred in asking any questions that they may have. Whether they find it big or small. This is so that programmers in every walk in their journey can get the sense that they are a part of a community of folks who want to see them succeed in their quest to better themselves as a programmer.

Here are a few points on things we're trying to accomplish.

- Not all feedback is helpful but all should be welcomed. If a feedback is given and it is either inappropriate or irrelevant, we give the Board user the ability to delete a - feedback given to one of their Boards.

- Most Q/A sites are for just that, Q/A. CodeHive allows for the posting of helpful tips as well as questions. On a day to day basis, I've gotten into the habit of documenting things that I'm learning. I've learned a wealth from others on the Internet. I feel it's up to me to pay it forward and share my knowledge with others.

- In a post my partner wrote on Medium (https://medium.com/@chrisliamlai/devalued-learning-db856cbfc...), he points out a lot of sites provide solutions to problems, but the journey on how a person got to the solution is often absent. Providing a solution is great, but knowing the why and how a solution works for a problem is just as important.
It needs to be different than ClojureScript as well as more than a dozen other lisp-to-js projects. [1]

These are fun projects, and I don't doubt that the authors and a few individuals have or will get great use of of it, but the market is saturated with languages that compile JS right now and very few stick out or are likely to get critical mass. Even Coffeescript, which is probably the most popular one, has a small community.

not at all a Google Apps alternative.
Your "aren't aimed at procreation" comment isn't quite correct. The objection, in the context of marriage, is to sexual acts which impair the transmission of life per se.

See, for example, Humane Vitae:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanae_Vitae#Highlights
The existence of possibility does not magically grant probability, and revenue potential does not impress banks or mortgage lenders or grocery stores when the bills come due.

By the same token, your local 7-11 is not a magical fountain of wealth just because it has lottery tickets.

Any time you are told to labor for negative $100 in order to recoup a number very likely less than $100 over time that has 30% taken out of it for no apparent reason at all, you should think twice.
