> The amount of American pro-athletes who are religious is astounding. Many athletes will seriously thank God after doing something well in a sporting event.

This is just a very clever thought pattern to confirm the American mythos of the self-made man and avoid giving credit to teammates, coaches, etc. "God made me great" is a way to take credit for yourself while maintaining the appearance of humility (no one can really call you out on it, either, because it's just your religion). Politicians use it all the time too.
I'm assuming this is possible, but its not obvious on the site:

Can I use this to transform Web Hook data from one service into a format that another service expects?

Example:

Service A WebHook -> hook.io -> Service B Rest Request

Edit: Would definitely need SSL support for the above use case.
I wonder what quantity of code / time was spent on building their custom jquery-based application framework. Or maintaining it.
If you heard the regular personality on NPR's "Here And Now" say that someone was openly gay, you would assume he was out.

That's where I learned it. I didn't know for a few weeks later that it was supposed to be a secret we didn't say.
Actually absolutely nothing contradicts the idea of evolution with the concept of earth being slightly bigger dish seeded with life.

After all we do the same on small scale every time we bake.
I've currently (slowly) migrating from Dropbox and BTSync to Syncthing. I'd say you might have a glitch in the matrix if BTSync is running that high without any active transfers.
Ugh...that's heart wrenching :(
Sorry, I have to write a second reply because it really makes me think: what would a possible moral stance against gay marriage even be? I can't imagine a reasonable moral argument against gay marriage? Unless you think homosexuals being together is immoral, but then marriage would be irrelevant (if that was somebody's opinion, they would probably fight on a lower level, like putting gays into jail or whatever, not prevent them from marrying)?

I'm not really well versed in the typical pro and contra arguments, so this made me curious.
"People don't call civil rights or women's rights "agendas,""

Sure they do, but they also use terms like "feminazi" and "race realism".
If "what we've been doing for the last few years" means two-way binding of data models, then I agree that either that or using direct field values is a bad idea but the one I am thinking is bad may not be the same one that you are.
Never worked with FDWs before, but man that looks simple to work with.
Sorry, fuck-up is an acceptable professional term now. A fuck-up is an error that is so bad that from CEO to customer, there is no sense in calling it anything other than what it is. Send 10 emails at once to a customer? Sorry, we fucked up. Lose 25% of revenue for several months? Sorry, CEO, I fucked up. It is an admission that you have made an error that will happen less than once a year and hopefully only once a career.
Unlock 'em and put them on Ebay. If you assume some risk of shipping them overseas to countries that don't have easy access to them, you'll get bidders who are willing to pay a premium for previous-generation devices. I sold an unlocked iPhone 4 to someone in a remote South Pacific island for nearly the price I paid for the new iPhone 5 that replaced it.
You shouldn't necessarily boycott linux, but you should boycott software that hard-depends on linux and won't run on non-linux systems. Just as with systemd.
I'm reading a lot of Not Invented Here in that front-end stuff - building your application on top of jQuery is terribly pre-2012. I bet they spent a considerable chunk of time on that.
If it's meant to be serious, it's stupid.

If it's meant to be funny, it's still stupid.
Is it necessary to dismiss belief as somehow self-serving? A bragging athlete is arrogant; a humble one is secretly scheming to take credit. How do you win in that world-view?
And the opposite? Have the sqlite storage but no the sql parser?
Right, because there are never security vulnerabilities in custom CMS projects developed on frameworks.

Look at it this way--this Drupal vulnerability was caught because one company using Drupal invested in a code audit. Now everyone using Drupal can benefit from that audit, because the vulnerability was disclosed and patched by the community.

Now let's say you develop a CMS-like project on a microframework. Are you going to pay an outside company for a thorough code audit of the project? Is anyone else?
That would remove some of my hesitancy in letting this run as root for full process information. At least it limits what code could be exploited in the daemon process to some extent.
Exactly correct. There is no way a missing window would bring down the plane, especially the back window, unless by some freak accident the patch damaged a control surface on the tail by breaking free. One can think of an almost limitless list of more likely hypotheses.
Ask HN: Selling my startup, is it a good decision?
I finally decided to sell my startup, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to continue to improve the website or to just sell it.
It's been almost a year since I am trying to do "business". Sadly the fun ends here for me, college and life in general is too expensive for me to keep up (just doing my startup).

I didn't raise capital but I was able to get revenue just from my own marketing skills.

If you would be in my place, would you quit college and try to squeeze every little cash you have in order to keep the startup or would you continue college ?

They probably analysed it from a business perspective and thought it makes sense. Fine for me as long it's for the right cause.
While this looks nice, it still depends on Postgres. Why not just import a set of key/values into any SQL database? Really dumb 5-minute example below.

INSERT INTO process_table (PID,TTY,STAT,TIME,COMMAND) VALUES ("19789","pts/8","Ss+","0:00","/bin/bash");
INSERT INTO process_table (PID,TTY,STAT,TIME,COMMAND) VALUES ("30616","pts/23","Ss+","0:00","/bin/bash");

> It makes sense to be proud for staying strong in the face of discrimination and hate speech, but being gay itself is not worthy of any pride.

Exactly. If you are an aging gay man who has experienced repression and discrimination and lived your life to the fullest in spite of these challenges, you can be proud.

If you are a rich white man in Silicon Valley who happens to be gay, well ... hooray for you, I guess.

I would wonder why I'd never heard it right from the only person qualified to say, find that he hadn't said it, and doubt the credibility of the person who reported it as true. But I also know what it's like to be afraid of being outed to people you're not out to, so maybe it's different if you don't have that fear.
JSON Merge Patch – a simpler format for describing changes to a JSON document
Of course the article is a spoof, but honestly, and despite being all of my professional life and passion, linux/unix are 40+ years old and are now crusty beyond belief.
I don't think there's now anywhere in the entire edifice where you can find "the unix philosophy" well demonstrated, and to be quite honest, that's been the case from quite early on.
Thanks for writing this Ankit. This will help tons of people.
I guess even the online purchase is restricted to US. Did not check that. My bad. On the bright side, I'm sure it will be internationally available in a few months.

> Because it isn't a big deal!

Agreed.

But I think his message is aimed at younger people. "I'm a mellow kinda guy who is respected in the world of business. And i'm gay." You don't have to fit the stereotype of being flamboyant , out, loud and proud to be gay.

You and I know that. Any functioning adult in a largish city knows that. Maybe some kids in isolated communities without personal role models (family, family friends, teachers, etc., who are gay and run-of-the-mill kinda people) don't know that.

Glad we could help each other out :)
I'm in the same situation with the OS X client. I was using BTSync + Arc to essentially match Dropbox's feature set, but in the past couple of months BTSync seemingly lost its mind with respect to CPU usage. It would routinely hit 100% and would always show up on OS X's "Apps Using Significant Energy" list. I had to shut it down so often that it ultimately wasn't worth it. I switched back to Dropbox and abandoned any sort of privacy once again.
Yeah at first I though it was another stunt for Apple because seriously how is his sexual orientation is important? Then I though how actually we still need public figure like him, that there's still way too much people who doesn't want to accept other sexual orientations.

Let's hope that this will help many more people understands that there's nothing abnormal with having another sexual orientation.
I'd say about half the people in the Netherlands drink their coffee "gewoon" ("just")! Add too much milk and it's officially "verkeerd" (wrong). As in, coffee machines in petrol stations have a "koffie verkeerd" button, presumably for foreign truckers from far off lands where they spoil their delicious hot beverage with... (blegh) milk.

Oculus Rift Apps Prove Virtual Reality Goes Far Beyond Gaming
I also thought it was really interesting that they chose that to start with. I personally find the electron to be one of the more confounding and least talked about pieces of the current state of physics understanding.

That being said, it is hard for me to imagine what a proof that charge is intrinsic to an electron would even look like. Proving that something is the result of something else seems much more straightforward than proving something not being the result of anything.

Also, only talking about an electron's charge being intrinsic is ignoring a lot of the mystery of it. The fact that it is a point particle is a pesky issue as well. An electron is just an electron with no underlying "pieces" or mechanisms. Obviously that could be wrong, but no one has been able to prove it yet.

I think using the electron as an example for our understanding of how the universe works is pretty ignorant. It's one of the weirdest parts of physics I've encountered during my career. It is a topic that few people actively work on but feels like their is clearly something amiss with our current understanding.
I would agree with you but only when you look at religion from a broad perspective. If you actually speak to people who are religious you will quickly find that there are a lot of things they don't believe or follow in their religion. Eventually religions catch up, although that takes too long (similar to how laws often take too long to catch up to what most people do and think should be legal).

I think the key is that the 'fundamental' people you often hear about that think 'homosexuality is an abomination' are a small minority. The people who are fine with it usually aren't seen on the news because their opinion isn't inflammatory.

Tim Cook: “I'm Proud to Be Gay”
If you are serious about that your website should explain that a bit more.

You don't even have an "about" section on the website, no information if the information is encrypted, no privacy policy. This is not only dubious but downright scary if you are offering a service like that.

In the current state I really hope nobody is that naive to just upload their private data to some unknown third party.
All that is government meddling in someone else's affairs in the most egregious way possible. Its not as far as taking kids from single parents etc. because they don't fit someone's model of a perfect family, but nearly there.

My cousin has 4 kids, and is married to the love of her life Lisa. Their kids are certifiably the kindest, most considerate kids I know. There's been no psychological damage, at least not at their hands. Ignorant outsiders may say mean things but to blame that on these excellent parents would be twisted logic.

Anywho, the decision about adoption is so far down the road from marriage as to be a red herring.
A 30 Point Checklist for Your Startup
Back-publishing 1,000's of articles is impractical and risky (for other reasons).

Would be curious as to why.

Also, while the pages clearly have different designs, it isn't immediately clear which is "better" (or that this betterness is due to its being dynamic versus static).
On my (already battery-starved) laptop, it would always suck up 100% CPU for a few minutes on a fresh boot, and then occasionally pop up now and again.

On my (PowerPC!) NAS, it was constantly using lots of CPU and RAM, although I have a feeling plenty of that was caused by swapping to disk (NAS only has 128MB). I love the fact that BTSync have the forethought to provide a PowerPC client for people with outmoded NAS's like mine, just disappointed it was still too heavy to work reliably.
I think the MotoX is a good phone. I hope Lenovo doesn't kill it.

Closures are soooo messed up right now, because we're in the process of replacing them wholesale but the new system is only half-implemented. As a result you're forced to choose between using closures that work but suck (the old system) or closures that don't suck but don't work (the new system). So don't judge us on closures just yet. :)

OP is in Sweden. "To have a coffee" is so common that it's a 4 letter verb (att fika) and they are among the top nations for coffee consumption. So while your point still stands, the number of people you exclude from this request is pretty small...
I don't say anyone who believes anything. That would be stupid. I say anyone who believes things unsupported by evidence. We don't have to search the entire universe to find Christian god absent, we just have to look at the evidence put forward by Christians to be inadequate. You presumably don't believe in Zeus or Thor, or Mythras or Isis or Horus or any of the other gods that died with the civilizations that created them, and this is presumably because you find the evidence for these inadequate.

> On another note, the argument that you know the method therefore the agency doesn't exist has always seemed illogical to me. I know how Toyota puts its cars together, that doesn't mean that Toyota doesn't exist.

This is because people have used gods in the past as necessities needed for explanation of natural phenomena. Of course these explanations are not such thing at all, because you now have an ever bigger problem, by positing an intelligent being you are making bigger assumption than the phenomena you are trying to explain and now have a larger problem to solve, possibly leading to infinite regresses. All the above paragraph is saying is we don't need the hypothesis of deistic god ether. The evidence against theistic gods is much stronger though, and the idea can be dismissed completely.

Let me put it this way. You speak of god, but did you invent the concept, or did you hear about it from someone else? And if you heard about it from someone else, what evidence did they show you that convinced you with absolute certainty that there had to be such a thing.
Having developed software for point of delivery (similar market and devices) on Windows CE approximately 6-10 years ago, I would suggest that they did indeed pick the best solution to the problem now.

The symbol/intermec handhelds are expensive, terribly unreliable, slow, require a lot of maintenance and are terribly fiddly especially for people with gloves on (as you'd expect in the freezer department in Morrisons). As for the software development side of things, you're pretty much limited to a subset of win32 that isn't very pleasant to use or a mobile CLR which is so incredibly slow it makes you want to hang yourselves. Then there's the incredible deathly pain of deploying the code to all those devices.

It took us three years to deliver a point of delivery system with the same staffing level with much smaller scope which was simply signing for stuff and listing a delivery schedule. The integration was done by a third party - we just passed messages back and forth.

They did a damn good job at TW on this one if you ask me.

I think it's early to know what will and won't ultimately work for VR. Ultimately, VR is going to be a very imperfect representation of physical reality for a while. But, I think representations that are unrealistic in all sorts of ways still have a lot of potential for tricking us enough to be fun and useful. There are going to be tradeoffs and we don't know which ones they are until they're tried.

This is a cool thesis. I would definitely like to see how this could work in VR.
My 3GS exclusively sits in my car and plays music connected via Bluetooth. I also used it traveling to another country, since AT&T would unlock my old iPhone but not my new one. They said the reason was that I was "currently on contract and it's not their policy to unlock contracted phones".
I too am annoyed with the "high false-negative rate". I have some impressive professional achievements as an engineer, and I also am a graduate of a top CS program. I recently did a set of onsite interviews at least competently: It's hard to judge how they saw it but I definitely didn't bomb out. In the end, I got rejected. I guess the reality of my excellence as an engineer doesn't matter, what matters is that I didn't appear like an algo-puzzle genius that day in front of a whiteboard. Based on this and other experiences, I conclude that:

1. The whole "developer shortage" talk from top companies is self-inflicted at best. I know it can be hard to find the right hire, but the top tech companies have loads of solid applicants and turn away great people every day. If they were truly desperate, there are so many great people they could snap up.

2. Making the interviews entirely about algorithmic questions biases towards new graduates and academics. To be honest, working as an engineer does not develop the "algo" part of my brain much. They might as well challenge me to a chess match to "prove my intelligence". (I don't play chess)

Personally I'd rather see interviews focus more on real things related to professional practice, at least for experienced hires. If they really are interested in testing my ability on the spot, would it be so hard to set up a computer and have me perform tasks that developers actually do? Like write code that is challenging in some way, but doesn't hinge on a level of on-the-spot cleverness that is almost never exercised in real professional work?
Yo. I have some (unsolicited) advice for you.

Your top blog post on the right is titled "Go Fuck Yourself." I feel like this might be oversight on something resembling a resume.

Grammar: "I was studying financial engineering at Saint-Petersburg State University." I should say "I studied" if you graduated. If you didn't graduate, just put the college's name and let people assume you did.

Since you are expecting people to see this and hire, it might be useful to have a line saying specifically what you want to do.

"I am dealing with data" should read "I deal with data" or "I structure data."
When I used to program Lisp I would habitually add an extra close parens to the end of long statements, just to make sure I didn't miss one.
The biggest issue is probably keeping up with Sass. Other Sass implementations are behind on features.

Less ... well, there's less to keep up with since there's one implementation of it that I'm aware of.

Having read and listened to Alan Watts I have become convinced that the self or ego or "I" as we commonly call it is a delusion, and a dangerous one at that. It leads to all kinds of confusions and contradictions.

It is this delusion that is the source of our pain and jealousy. We should realize that we are part of a greater whole, that our own existence is inseparable from the rest of the universe. We are all one. Cheesey.

Rather than say "I think therefore I exist", I prefer the simpler, "thought exists"

The idea I have heard most is that is happening because Google is pushing it for people to use their "cloud" services. You don't need a lot of space for music, use my cloud music streaming service.
