I'm a sucker for pain, or it's in my blood, or something. Numerous failures, a few successes, just kept trying. Finally found something that really worked and still doing it, 12+ years later. I will say - I learned way more from the failures than the successes, and they massively shaped my current success. Good luck! :)

Interesting distribution of contributors [1]. Usually what I see on most projects is one or two guys contributing the most of the code since the start of the repository, with minor contributors coming and going. These contributors chart seem to show different guys taking the helm at different points on time though.

Yes - happy to share codes with anyone. Also, we will be simplifying the invite system in the next few days so that JuliaBox will let you in without any code by default.

In the rare cases of a surge, such as an HN mention, it will auto-release account approvals as the surge subsides in a few hours. Once you do have access, you will continue to have access, even during surges. Basically, we are just trying to manage our compute budget better.

Ask HN: Founders whose startups failed, do you experience bias in interviews?
Over the past few years I've been seeing a steady increase in the number of resumes that pass in front of my eyes that have the last job experience at 1-2 years with the title "CEO" or "President" and this very much signals "failed startup".

Several of us who are part of the hiring process (note: we're all programmers) find ourselves having to try and ignore certain biases we've been noticing:

"Oh, failed company, they must not be very good..."

"Is someone who's used to being boss of the company going to handle taking orders?"

etc. And the bias appears to be worse the older the applicant is (that's just a gut feel, I have no data to back that up).

Obviously these are false, and we take time to stop and remind each other of the many quality traits a startup founder brings (and the experiences a failed one brings as well!).

But, I'm curious if many of you have personally experienced these biases? Is this common? If you could tell someone in a hiring position something - with respect to this - outside of an interview setting, what would it be?
Not quite. It looks like urbit has imported the histories of multiple other projects.

Eh, that makes no sense. You can't go to the AMD store in your mall to get your Mac Pro fixed either.

You can however, if you buy your HackPro all together at one store, go to that stores service desk and have any component replaced, they might even give you a loaner to work on while your HackPro is being repaired.

Most computer stores have better support than Apple too.

Investigative journalism is now pop culture entertainment?
It's not quite the same as legitimizing the sharing of information by a third-party. By saying it is a "risk" there is the implication that it is outside the contract the customer has with the telephone company. So I think it contradicts itself by first saying he should not have expected privacy then saying the loss of privacy is a risk. If there's no expectation of privacy then where is the risk? There is an expectation but there is also a risk and if the information is divulged (against the customer's wishes) then any further expectation of privacy disappears. This is what happened with those leaked celebrity photos; the initial hacking was illegal, but publishing the photos after the leak was not.

The salient issue the case demonstrates is that if the police read the numbers from his phone directly, that would be an illegal search. But because it was the telephone company that divulged the information, even if that was a breach of privacy, it does not invalidate the use of the information as evidence because although the police received the benefit from the information they were not the ones who breached the privacy. So there was no loss of privacy as far as the fourth amendment is concerned; that only applies to police and not the telephone company. If he has a problem with the them giving the information out he can sue. Except, of course, congress has also given telephone companies immunity.

And as more government work gets outsourced to private contractors there are more avenues by which law enforcement can do this privacy-two-step-tango and collect admissible evidence without warrants. Or, at least, using much easier to obtain warrants. Isn't that what one of the concerns with CISA is? That it lets private company collect information that may be used in court? Do these companies have to obey the fourth amendment?
Consider something like

To obtain the correct lower bound, you need to round the addition up, and the subtraction down. This is also incredibly inefficient on current processors, as the registers are flushed after each mode change.

> To Father Moretti’s Afghan friends, the bishop of Kabul is “mullah sahib”, a token of respect for his status as a man of God, even if his God is not the one they believe in.

This always annoys me, given that it is a central part of Islam that its goes back to Christianity, that it shares the same god as Judaism and Christianity, and that Jesus is a prophet and bringer of Gods word.

Christians, Jews, and others who includes the Old Testament / Torah in their holy texts are explicitly called out as "People of the book", and are explicitly given the opportunity to enter heaven if they believe and are good people.(While poor atheists like me are condemned to burn in hell). The Quran makes a rather big deal out of this, since presumably it was an important recruitement tool.

So it should not be surprising that a Christian priest is treated as a man of God by muslims, as long as he is not proselytizing, as conversion from Islam is a big deal.

Christians seem to very rarely realise just how much of muslim faith is lifted straight from the Bible.
I'm just speculating, but the HN upvote/downvote arrows are tiny, and it's easy to click on the wrong one accidentally. (This is especially true on tablet devices.) Your comment clearly doesn't deserve a downvote, though, so I've thrown you an upvote to help make up for it. :-)

My faith in management just keep strengthening over time. Apparently it's not considered ridiculous to agree with someone who says :

> Apple said GT should, “Put on your big boy pants and accept the agreement,” he said.

But the cynic in me fully understands what happened here. GT management, who have massive amounts of stock knew that an agreement with Apple would be seen by the invester community as a ridiculously positive development ( e.g. http://www.cnbc.com/id/101573666 chosen for effect, not because I think this guy is a good stock picker, btw : please note that Cramer was right on all timeframes < 7 months ), and they were right. Then they proceed to unload their shares, making 32 million dollars between 6 people ( https://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=GTAT+Insider+Transactions ). They would have known the terms of the Apple deal, and would have known that it'd be a breakeven deal at best, probably already in March.

Couldn't you say a similar statement about Christianity lifted from the Torah? The first half of the Bible is just from those stories if I remember correctly.
They aren't snuffing out any developers, they just don't want people to download their content directly to their phones per their TOS.

I'm sure their rationale is reasonable and probably has to do with some overall terms probably with major content providers or studios.
My point is not that unfound projects will necessarily become found. No matter how good they are. Instead the idea is that no matter how a project is promoted, ultimately they only have their code-base to back their claims.

Are sprinkler systems in data centers really the standard? How well does standard server hardware operate after contact with water from the sprinkler system?

I work at a company that runs a data center that has a nitrogen-based fire suppression system, so that the servers can continue to run uninterrupted. That sounds a lot more expensive, but also seems to make more sense to me.

Samsung Gear S Smartwatch First Impressions
After a bit of brain storming between mac and hackintosh, I eventually decided to buy a mac mini 2012. I agree that the site appears very convincing, but I wonder if it's worth putting the effort to build a system that may or may not work 5 years from now.

I took the cheapest mac mini 2012, $499 at BHPhoto, and upgraded the RAM to 16 GB, and HDD to 512 SSD. Couldn't be happier! I can see this device working 5 years from now.

An app that builds business apps and help run a loyalty club
I've been running a hack desktop as my main rig for a few years (10.7 -> 10.8 -> 10.9 -> 10.10). My hardware setup only requires a single 3rd-party kext (for networking), so it holds up super well with updates. I can patch dot releases with no trouble, and only need to do a full USB key install for major releases.

I went hackintosh when the Mac Pro line had become stale. Today I would probably just suck it up and get a real Mac Pro if I was in the market for a new machine, to be honest. I've spent a lot of time on the initial setup and failed experiments and iMessage trouble and things.

(Now I run my setup with a cloned serial/ROM/MLB/etc values from one of my real Macs that I took off iCloud, which solved all of my iMessage related troubles apparently permanently).
I went to work for Facebook then Dropbox, and now I'm on my second startup. We just pivoted, so it sort of feels like the third.

I still use Windows SUA for my unix needs on Windows.

Aside from the zero/one thing, if I'm understanding this right, Nock is based on the SKI combinator calculus, where the combinators are

S: λxyz.xz(yz)

K: λxy.x

I: λx.x

From there, you can express anything from the lambda calculus, and vice-versa. So I think it's reasonable to say that Nock is just a machine-friendly way of expressing the lambda calculus.
This is like if Douglas Adams and Greg Egan did pair coding. Super interesting.

It sounds like they are claiming their ToS can dictate how you can use the data they are putting in your computer's clipboard. They then used that claim to remove the equivalent of a 'wget' program from the app store.

I don't like what SoundCloud has done here. I'm pretty sure it was line noise for Google, but I don't like that they went along with it either.

Note these are published files that are generally available for download. The download is an HTTP GET on a public URL, which they publish freely and directly on their own site. It's in no way "ripping" the file from the site or defeating any DRM.
The X2150 seems to operate within 11-25W.

That's much higher than some x86 based chipsets. Some of new Intel's Core-M Broadwell mobile chips are supposed to come in a 4.5W TDP. [1] But 11W is in range of some other older laptops.

These guys may be better off targeting a gaming laptop based on an i7 to ensure adequate cooling for a server-grade processor in a laptop form factor.

> The one thing the country is, is dynamic. It changes a lot quicker than many other countries.

As the population "ages out" (older people with different societal mores die out, are replaced with younger folks), these changes occur. If you check out the exit polls for Florida for their recent medicinal marijuana ballot initiative, the 65+ age cohort was 62% against/38% for it. Compare that to the 18-29 age cohort (79% for/21% against).

You'll notice a lot of people just have X-CSRF.* header (Stripe for example if you want to check one out). In my opinion you might as well just go the full 9 and actually implement an anti-CSRF solution instead of a quick hack.

If this had been the states, why not make it a homeless shelter?
There are still plenty of SoundCloud downloaders, and as long as the data is transferred it can still be downloaded. In fact one of the first hits on Google for "SoundCloud downloader" is a website that claims to do just that (I didn't try it but I'd bet it's functional - likely on a mobile device too.)

Data storage and file management is difficult, especially within the UX constraints on mobile devices

This is a very common excuse ("security" is the other one) to justify the increasing constraints on what mobile devices can do - when I think it's really about control over the users. On my desktop, I can double-click files to open them in the app they're associated with, and double-click apps to open them too. I can save files anywhere, including the desktop, and they'll be as accessible as apps. I can use one app to interact with files I created with another one. I have an Android phone and despite it having more processing power and screen resolution than desktops a decade ago, it is nowhere near as flexible. Apps are mostly locked into accessing only the data they've created, with the exception of external storage (which is also starting to disappear). This app-centric model means that working with files/documents is difficult; I can't easily save a file into a folder and have it show up as an icon on the home screen. From what I've read, iOS and WP isn't so different in this respect.

In the context of something like SoundCloud, the motivation for this model and their removal request isn't so obscure: DRM. Google wants services like SoundCloud and other media providers to get the impression that they are on their side, so its decisions are aimed at restricting users' ability to share and remix content freely. Ideally to them, everything must be done via an app, which Google must approve, and which cannot do anything someone else disapproves of...

Thanks for opening the source; the Play Store is not the world and the app will live on outside of it, possibly with further improvements from others. There's a huge app modding community that doesn't even need source, but they'll be glad to have it.

Apple also forbids virtualising OSX on non-Apple hardware. So you can't run your OSX (which e.g. you bought legally) on VMware on Windows PC.

When I was in your position (leaving my first real job) I gave them 90 days notice (twice the time I estimated it would take them to find a suitable replacement for me); and I volunteered to do the technical screening of the new candidates and transition the workload over gradually. I ended up working side-by-side my replacement for the last month (training them); which was ideal for everybody.

That ex-employer ended up being an invaluable professional reference, and we're still good friends.

Protect yourself of course (maybe don't mention it until your plan B is solid) but treat them as you'd want to be treated...it'll pay off in the end.
