Money is the most tricky thing men will ever face. Not talking about extreme poverty here, the following is what I've learned:

More money leads in almost all people to artificial value, short term superficial happiness, degradation of the soul. On the outside it looks great and shiny, but on the inside the soul starves and craves true happiness. Unfortunately, most rich people react unconsciously by spending more and more, in a desperate effort to fill the ever growing gap.

Longer term less money creates in almost all people higher valuation of the most simple and basic things, which translates to true happiness for the soul. Less money can restore happiness if people are willing.

But there is of course a lot more affected by the money in our lives, especially the ego. A rich men easily thinks he is really someone, a 'great' man, special, gifted, etc.. The poor man will most often struggle with the opposite thoughts and feelings, while in the end it's all false.

If I ever again have quite some money to spend, I'll be very vigilant, you'll see me desperately trying to hold myself back. Never trade your soul for money (or power) is my advice. And if you have a lot of it, use a substantial part to help poor children for example, give them food, education, that will create you some ever lasting happiness, at least, if you can hold yourself back from growing your ego on that.
In the UK, I went for a Perl programmer job interview a few years ago in a suit and was told I was overdressed. I then went back to the same company for another interview a couple of years later, in jeans and a polo-shirt and nobody said anything, but I was looked up and down and it was pretty clear to me I was underdressed that time.

I wasn't offered either of the positions. No idea if the way I dressed had any bearing on it.
Thanks for the memes, now I know this is bullshit.
I almost wish Google loses against Oracle at the Supreme Court, and is forced to pay Oracle billions every year as long as it continues to use Java, just so it's forced to switch away from Java. Almost, because I know Google losing that lawsuit could mean dire consequences across the industry. But it's still annoying that Android has to use Java and can't change away from it.
Nice. But I miss the original. Couldn't they have put 2 languages side by side?

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this, it really resonated with me.
It's something to do with the ad banners, as with ad blocking turned on it works perfectly.
> Don't engage with suspicious emails.

You shouldn't do that anyway, regardless of whether there is an incident afoot or not.

> Do not attempt to access your account for now.

Why not? The horse has bolted. Just assume that it is compromised and that anybody can read over your shoulder. That's probably safest with a service like this anyway.

> If you have used your Browserstack password elsewhere, go and change it about the place.

No, if you've used your Browserstack password elsewhere then you should immediately stop that practice and use different passwords for all the services you use, not just change it everywhere else.

> Watch out for any links from untrusted sources on this subject as they may be malicious.

Links from untrusted sources can always be malicious, and should be treated as such. In general, if you didn't initiate the conversation you have to be wary and you should always verify the source of links in email or other communications (and preferably websites) before you start running their code (aka: clicking on their links).

If you are using Browserstack and if you plan on continuing to use them and/or their competitors make sure you interface with test systems only and make sure those systems do not contain any real (privacy sensitive) user data or other data that might lead to your service being compromised in turn, assume someone is reading over your shoulder at all times. This includes test scripts, especially scripts containing credentials, those should really only live as long as the test session.
Well, it has been mostly startups and tech companies, so a suit would have definitely been overdressed as far as the norm goes.

Ha! I'd never looked at at the value returned from setTimeout to see what it was. Obviously it was going to be some sort of ID but it never occurred to me that it was a simple counter. Neat trick.

I just hit ESC a bunch of times as the page was loading and it seemed to stop the offending code from getting a chance to execute.

> “If you’re building something with robotics, or essentially any project that doesn’t need Ethernet networking, it’s a great fit.”

Hmmm. I use these boards only for robotics. And a primary reason why I pick a Raspberry Pi is because it has an ethernet port.
There's a few new options for cheap, relatively powerful hardware platforms than also break the $20 barrier. Specifically Mozilla Matchstick, the Chromecast-like HDMI dongle (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matchstick/matchstick-t...) was selling for $12 with free US shipping in limited quanties, or around $17 for unlimited quantity with internationally shipping ($85 for 5).

It uses a dual-core Rockchip 3066 SoC (ARM Cortex A9 with Mali-400 GPU), 1GB DDR3 RAM, 4GB storage and built-in wifi. The downside compared to the Raspberry Pi model A+ is it's lacking on the IO front (no USB, headphone, composite video, and presumably no GPIO etc).
Nothing particularly unusual about the data, as time goes by delays accumulate. Its the reason you should pick a morning appointment for the doctors or why the Oscars overruns.

For an airport operator its best to maximise the utilisation of slots available and just let customers suffer the delays.

I think it's more of an industry thing, I've worked in the UK in the games industry and dressing up was definitely not needed.

I actually dressed up once for an interview with Peter Molyneux and the first thing he said before even shaking hands was "oh, you dressed up" with a very confused face.

When you provision a card to Apple Pay by taking a photo of your card or entering the info manually, what happens next is that the iPhone makes a call to the card network (Visa/MC/Amex) to verify the card data (the card network will also make a call to the issuing bank of the card for a validity check), and if all is well, the network will return the same information that is effectively provisioned to physical ICC chips that you see in newer credit/debit cards. These parameters are stored in the iPhone 6's secure element, and allow the iPhone to perform full EMV transactions (as apposed to simply just EMV Legacy MSD transactions).
I'm not gonna argue with your points, just gonna warn you, that you have too much confidence in your algorithms, be careful.

No, you would need a vulnerable service running on the VPS in order to exploit it.
Maybe I misunderstood the article? I understand that he wants to go to other countries, walk around, watch the rain and think about life in general. Maybe you can do that if you are a museum security guard, but in most jobs that's not possible. And at least I am quite tired after working 40 hours plus taking care of the basics needs I have (buying grocieries, cooking, cleaning) and my family has (spending time together, solving problems of other family members). I'm quite happy if I can manage to squeeze in 7 to 8 hours of sleep.
Milk Does Not Do a Body Good – Massive New Study Says
Probably outdated - for my first job search, a recruiter shopped around a beefed up version of my resume that spanned two pages instead of the one I had it. I was surprised that the old adage was not used in practice.
Young bull, old bull. Credit card associations don't overtly lean on anyone much, and neither need Apple do so now that it's working with them. As Apple Pay gains traction, the same effect will come into play on its behalf that keeps merchants paying fees to take plastic -- people used to using Apple Pay will take their business to merchants which allow them to do so, and merchants who don't will come to understand that half a loaf is better than none.

Amazing how every single time Christian sheep just downvote any dissenting view, but no one ever has the curiosity to ask "how do you know that" and what evidence is there to debunk Christianity, yet again confirming this whole "evidence based reasoning" business is completely foreign to them, which is why they are religious in the first place.
As someone who has done a lot of interviewing and hiring, I can say that frequent switching of jobs is a negative and a red flag in general.

If you had a business, would you want to hire someone who is probably going to jump to another job in a few months?
Behind a corporate firewall, so I cannot read it.

One thing I have been noticing lately with HR drones, is that unless you have stated specifically that you worked in technology X on a project at work, it doesn't matter how many off work projects you might have done in the said technology.

Even if there are other people using the said projects.

They just go top to bottom looking for keywords.
I know you said you are out of time, but that mention from above about "the founders state" was actually responded to by the founder, and he said he didn't agree (it actually sounded more like "I never said that" to my reading.)

I don't claim to know everything about how Urbit works. I do think that superficially, Urbit is more able to respond positively to a demand from a state that sounds like "we think your network is being used to recruit radicals and a subversive element that threatens the nation is using it to communicate operational details and plan their attacks. can you shut it down" than say, BitTorrent...

I mean, it's a centralized network where the leader is able to push out updates to the software, and in a future version you may not even need to ask for them to be downloaded or approve them before they replace your running kernel. This will be considered a feature by anyone who comes from at least a managed Windows domain.

So, it has the potential to carry out a "poisoned updates" type attack, like Apple could do to an iPhone. And the more that I think about it the more ways I can imagine that ~zod can fuck you up. It's true I am interested in this project, more than passively, I am a kind of stakeholder who owns a large part of the namespace. The only thing that keeps my ownership safe is a line of text in the git repository under ames.hoon where my public key is stored, generated by an app called :pope and interpreted by a crypto suite that I cannot audit, simply for lack of time and understanding.

So, if I've led you down the wrong path or led you to believe something about the code that simply isn't true, I apologize! I feel I have to admit this is possible, I may have grave misunderstandings or mischaracterizations about the current state of the software, and to add to it, things are also always still changing now. It's in active development, pre-alpha, not yet sure who the customers are. YMMV, take with a grain of salt.
Using Loggly with Java/Tomcat on shared host
I really don't think so. If you went to a first interview in a suit and everyone were dressed extremely casually (flip-flop casually) and then you dressed the same for a second interview, definitely questions might be asked. But on the whole in the UK I would say it's pretty common to dress smartly for a first interview unless you have specific information (eg. from a recruiter or hiring manager) that you should not do that.

If I were interviewing in finance, I would definitely wear a suit. If I were interviewing at a startup or a digital agency, or equivalent, I would wear smart trousers (maybe smart jeans) and a shirt. That's playing it safe. Sometimes I interview people who are wearing jeans and a t-shirt and generally look pretty scruffy - I know that they know that that is probably the attire most of their potential future colleagues will be wearing, but it certainly doesn't impress me much. But maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

I thought there was a lot of good advice in those slides, incidentally.
It's been some decades since the only option for a payment card was a line of revolving credit. You can get one that's tied to a deposit account, no chattel-slavery strings attached, and they sure are handy things to have.

(I don't love revolving credit any more than the next guy -- less, in fact; I've worked in the industry and seen its unloveliness firsthand. But you can get the benefit of a payment card without it.)
Yes that's the one I was talking about. Ran the test before and after updating. It was the same (negative). I ran the same test on the relative up todate home computer (Ubuntu) and it was vulnerable on some of the tests. This IS weird.
True, you can select for example "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" and not be protected against Shellshock nor Heartbleed by default.
It was a small value type. Allocation never failed. Thanks for playing.

"Several" in this case may be "two", can't quite remember that detail very well, and we're talking about a white plastic MacBook with the first-gen Core2 Duo with a crappy 5400rpm drive. I suspect some fragmentation-induced paging. But you are right that I didn't get all dtrace on it; I chose a good guess for std::vector::reserve() and that was that.

"Money doesn't buy happiness" is largely demonstrably true for most people in their current situations. The available research does not back up any large correlation - causative or not - between happiness and wealth outside of very extreme situations:

If you starve, or lack shelter, money unambiguously increases average happiness substantially. Once you are fed and have somewhere to live - even if crappy - peoples happiness are minimally affected by additional money.

There are ways which you can leverage more money to increase your happiness, but interestingly the best approaches involve living below your means, no matter how much or little you have: The most efficient way of leveraging wealth into happiness is to ensure that you build a buffer so that you can maintain a slow, steady upwards trajectory as much as possible.

In some degree, it does. If you have more money than you need, you can opt to work less hours (not everyone can, but in Germany for example most people have that option).
I totally agree, to me it looks like the main goal of Google's UI design is for "being different from others",but not for improving the UX from the user's perspective!

> Completely forget about the price tag when buying small-ticket things: a taxi ride, asking for an extra plate, an occasional flight, paying a round of drinks

Needs a little asterisk, you're changing your lifestyle to one that you probably can not yet afford, be careful with that, these 'little things' really add up over time.

Other than that: Congratulations :)
I can feel this in other domains too: relationships (short term, hormonal, struggle-free), knowledge (web era, ease of access, no deep integration, no effort into reaching, organizing, interpreting).

There's a subtle paradox in ourselves for we crave easiness when I believe what we need is to learn how to abstract over complexity.
> how they need massive amounts of fuel to get off from earth

I don't think this is the case. Consider the flight that 'Coop' keeps dreaming about at the start of the movie. Seems he was piloting one of the shuttles into Earth orbit but encountered an anomaly which messed things up.
react-material is mostly an experiment to use react-style (CSS written in JS). Unfortunately I do not have enough free time to give react-material the right attention, so I wouldn't recommend using it for now.

Something I love about Hackernews: the dataframe dev actually wrote a sister post to yours (John Myles White).
The company I'm at uses a 3rd party company to handle payroll, taxes, health insurance, and some level of benefits (like 401k and "discount programs"). According to my understanding I'm a W-2 employee of my company and simultaneously the 3rd party. Because the 3rd party has an office in my state, I get paid via that branch, and pay taxes for my state and not my employer's state. My healthcare plan also differs somewhat from my co-worker's because of state required minimum coverage.
I was writing a library. I gave the user the option to provide me with the initial preallocation size, and a good method for guessing it.

When libraries deal with lots of things, it's generally important to expose special handling for dealing with lots of things.

It is not a myth. It WILL raise eyebrows, with HR mostly. A corollary of that is, if you don't actually have a HR department, there won't be any eyebrows to be raised.

However, even if HR doesn't like it, if you do get an interview, then you can tell them a happy story to explain what happened. It helps if you can convince them that this time you'll stick around, provided the necessary conditions are met. Then ask several questions to clarify the points that are important to you.

For permanent employees, I would definitely agree - anyone who is unable or unwilling to stay in a permanent position for more than a year, say, probably isn't going to be a good bet in the long-run.

For contractors, it's obviously somewhat different - but speaking from experience, many short contracts tend to get extended, so someone who has a raft of 1-2 month contracts and very few longer ones might be a bit of a risk. (Obviously some contracts are intentionally short - but I would definitely describe a very short contract on my CV as being more of a "project" than an actual contract.)
I think that the model A is so over looked. I personally am trying to use these for a monitoring building a mesh system with used usb wifi. For my house I just need wireless. These fit perfect for the job.
Photographers being detained seems to be an unfortunately frequent occurrence in London (anecdotal belief rather than based on any numbers). There are a number of videos on youtube of people having filmed themselves being detained for the same or similar reasons. It is tricky issue; you want to prevent terrorists gaining information on the security measures of certain buildings/areas, while allowing non violent citizens to go about their day. However I fear if terrorists were to do this, they would be more subtle, using hidden cameras, or working off memory and multiple trips, so seems like the current approach only impacts genuine photographers and concerned citizens. Usually, looking at the videos on youtube, the most unsettling part is the behaviour of the security guards and police officers, though I do seem to remember one video where the police officer/PCSO was reasonable.
