Well, this submission is also about switching to React. The headline on the React website is "A JavaScript library for building user interfaces", so I figured my anecdote was relevant.
Really depends on where you live I guess, the US is huge compared to european countries. I live in a pretty progressive area in the Midwest and have a pretty high standard of living.
I see people complain about waving at a four-way stop all the time, and I really don't get it. I wave people through at four-way stops all the time, for the simple reason that it can be hard to tell who arrived first. Especially with rolling stops and the like.

So rather than assume that the other drivers have come to the same conclusion that I have, I make it explicit by waving. Sometimes it's a little confusing if they try to wave you at the same time, but that's life.
Why every freelancer should solo travel around Thailand
40mph + 60mph = 100mph, so they will travel for 2 hours before they hit each other. The bird flying at 100 mph for 2 hours will travel 200 miles.
Revenues, revenues, revenues. More like bike ridership is up 115%. Selectively enforcing strikes this reader as arbitrary at best.
Well, firstly, as Geee said, VR isn't as dominated by gaming as you'd think. Even without getting into novel and unobvious uses of VR, it's an obvious choice for things like inflight entertainment: movies'n'music, picture viewing, even ebook reading. It also has obvious applications for some of Apple's "creative professional" users.

Secondly, Apple is just launching the Apple Watch, despite the fact that the wearables market is not an easy fit for Apple's DNA and public image either. If Apple wants to keep making grand entries into personal-device categories (which evidently it does) then it just has to go where the remaining unentered categories are.
On the contrary, as Ambrose says (De Offic. iii, 10): "In all contracts the defects of the salable commodity must be stated; and unless the seller make them known, although the buyer has already acquired a right to them, the contract is voided on account of the fraudulent action."[0]

It is altogether sinful to have recourse to deceit in order to sell a thing for more than its just price, because this is to deceive one's neighbor so as to injure him.[1]

It seems to me, generally in the case of publicly traded securities, that you may assume that your counterparty in any trade has access to all the same information you do in making their decision to buy what you are selling or to sell what you are buying.

However, this assumption no longer holds if you knowingly make use of insider information in making a trade. In this case, it is more likely than not that the counterparty to your trade does not hold the same information that you do, and hence executing such a trade can rightly be called fraudulent.

An obvious exception would be that you can make the same trade, off-exchange, with someone you know personally and to whom you can privately relate the relevant insider information before making the trade. Is this the type of circumstance you meant when you said "merely trading based on insider knowledge... there is no deception"?

Needed to point this out because it relates to this topic.
Every article I read about male/female worker ratio or ethnicity diversity ignores to dive into the aspect of working skills. Why should a company be enforced by law (more countries are starting to do this) to hire someone less qualified, only to please politicians?
Tracing bare-metal systems: a multi-core story
> because the road is no longer predictable

It will never be fully predictable: people make mistakes. It is always safer and better to assume that someone will do something unpredictable like run a red light. It could even be because of mechanical error.

When riding motorcycles in ~~Asia~~ some asian countries (did it for 6 years), you assume that people will run the red light. It happens, during rush hour, 100% of the time.

So, you drive appropriately and it is safer because of that.

Edit: changed Asia to some asian countries. I didn't want to be specific but ended up being to general which was wrong.
Walking towards oncoming traffic is, if not the law, then at least the sanctioned way of walking. Riding your bike into oncoming traffic, though, IS against the law since a bicyclist is considered a vehicle just like a car.
A way better looking clone.
I understand that it would be bad to introduce whitespace-only changes, but why would whitespace at the end of the line that doesn't break the 80 character limit be a problem otherwise? Sure, git colors them red in its diffs, but that is kind of a circular reasoning.

E.g. in this diff

0a1
> k=2
2c3,4
< print(i)
---
> k*=k
> print(k)

you don't even see the spaces after "k=2" and "k*=k".
> How about the intelligent management of the earth's resources?

I would agree with an AI managing the world's resources; we have proven ourselves unable to do so in an intelligent manner.
They seem to have done a small early beta over the summer, I guess they got in early.
Let me rephrase (seeing as someone downvoted me). I meant that I have a gut feeling that consciousness isn't simply a group of neurons communicating using electrical impulses, firing in a specific pattern. If that was the case then it would be physically possible to build a computer out of transistors that had consciousness, and that seems unlikely (again, just a gut feeling).

If that is the case then some other physics must come into play, and the other other possible physics is quantum mechanics.

Anyway, it's obviously very speculative, but I find it interesting thinking about consciousness - it's one of the few things we don't understand.

Regarding downvotes: what's the obsession on HN with people downvoting opinions you don't happen to agree with, but are nevertheless logical and coherent?
It's not formalized in any way, but we have a small team that works this way. I would imagine it would be hard to scale, and takes the right sort of people, but it's a really great environment to work in. We are constantly experimenting and everyone is welcome where they feel they can be helpful - our video production team is deeply involved with the devops side of our streaming server for example...
Cyclists are vehicles, so are obligated to follow the rules of the road and drive on the correct side.

Pedestrians, in the absence of sidewalks, do have the option to face incoming or outgoing traffic, and the usual choice is to face oncoming traffic as you suggested.

Ummm no you don't.
Also, don't forget https://github.com/yahoo/flux-examples which ties all of these together.
> Since ancient history the rich have gotten away with doing as they please, and they always will.

That's fundamentally what defines being rich. "Wealth" is just another word for "power", and "rich" just means possessed of substantially more wealth than average.

> The real culprit is democracy's false promise that it can do anything to change this.

Democracy seeks to redistribute some elements of power more equally, and is not completely unsuccessful in so doing in many real world systems. It does something to change the degree to which the rich get away with what they want -- simply by reducing the degree to which they are really rich.

OTOH, its offset often in real democratic politico-economic systems by other elements of the system -- e.g., capitalism -- which have the exact opposite effect.

The emphasis is on "appears". You can't convict anyone on (your personal) "suspicions".
Are you kidding me? Source maps allow you to debug preprocessed as well as minified code. This allows seamless integration of multiple languages into the same ecosystem, libraries, etc.
> The utility of this can't be understated.

It can be, actually, and quite easily. “This is not that useful.” See, I’ve done it.

You mean that it can’t be overstated.
At this point in time i fear the *gate trolls have latched onto this issue and if using it for their "lulz".
When I see such a tutorial I am always thinking of those online Linux emulators. You can write tutorials for such terminal programs and use those emulators for real examples.
Never heard of him or Joyent till now, but I tried watching that video, skipping along and had a hard time not finding him being offensive. He even goes on to make light of nazis and mock a past co-workers "galactic butt", so then I just skipped even faster.

What's sad is that he seems to be talking about introducing 'drag' within the company and yet I doubt he realizes the irony given 90% of his talking content is just that.
> I think I speak for America and the rest of the world when I say

There is literally nothing that could follow this beginning and not be absurd, including (but not limited to) what actually follows it in your post.
In NYC I couldn't want this more. For example, traffic on the Queensboro bridge gets backed up regularly entering Manhattan in the morning. If you go down to the streets the bridge exits out onto, cars/trucks are routinely parked on the sides of the road during prohibited rush hour windows, essentially restricting traffic down to 1 lane instead of the intended 2 or 3. All it takes is 1 traffic cop to be assigned the beat during the mornings for such important streets and I think traffic would improve pretty dramatically (aside from generating more revenue for the city). I can't ever recall anyone being ticketed for "blocking the box" despite menacing signs even when there is a traffic cop standing in the intersection.
Search for, and go hang out at meetups that cater to programmers and independents. Socialize. Find good people that have some boring, mundane work that they don't want to do, like converting photoshop to HTML or just rote testing, and offload it from them for cheap. Learn more about programming while you're on the job.

It'll be hard to find a "real" job for a while until you prove your mettle this way a bit, even at a small company. I speak as a small business owner; we don't really have time to hand-hold unless you've really proven your ability to learn quickly already.
Walking is different because you can stop on a dime and dive out of the way if you see trouble coming. On a bicycle, however, you are usually unable to do this.

Additionally, the increase in speed differential (which is much more significant for cyclists than pedestrians) created by cycling towards oncoming traffic greatly reduces available reaction time of both parties.

When you are travelling in the same direction as the traffic there is usually still a speed differential but it is substantially less. While you no longer have the ability to see potential problems "coming at you", drivers have significantly more time to notice you and react accordingly.
"a textbook priced at $50 overseas might cost $100 in the US."

It might be $50, but it also contains less content/problem sets. Some of the cheap books published in countries like India have as little as 15-20% of the content than the same US edition contains.

This will only hurt those countries. Publishers will just stop producing International editions and you will have the same, high priced edition, world-wide..which will price many of those people out of the market completely.
Delegation does not reusable code make
The former. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

It's not like Tom can "unhear" Bob once the call is made.
Getting the skills and getting the job are not necessarily totally overlapping.

Certificates in Javascript or whichever will look good on a CV, show willingness to learn, and open doors for you.

Then of course it needs to be backed up with demonstrable programming skills. Coding dojos, meetup.com events, hobby projects are all good for this, and can be discussed in the cover letter when applying for a job.

The age can be an advantage. I mean, I adore my younger colleagues, but they are politically retarded.
This looks really slick - I like it a lot!

However, from my brief look, there are two things that would prevent me from moving from trello:

1. The in-task checklists that trello has

2. I use the trello app on my phone a lot while I commute. I especially like the "quick add card" feature. I don't think I can switch to another tool until it has a decent (Android) app... (maybe this has one and I overlooked, but I wouldn't expect a brand new web app to also have mobile apps)
The specific instantiation might vary but suffering is universal. We all suffer in various ways to various degrees depending on the circumstances around us.
> I also imagine (though am mostly speculating) that a benchmark involving a full-stack frontend framework like Angular or Ember, with hundreds or thousands of JS objects and lots of DOM manipulation, should put V8's performance a bit closer to CPython

Interesting idea! How would we make a version of the benchmark for CPython though?
I can't recommend anything specifically... practically any book that describes black box testing will tell you everything you need to know. You learn 99% of it on the job. The only prerequisites are basically word processing and internet skills.

Anyone who charges money for a product or service, produces a physical or software product, or supports different use cases will have some kind of QA. Often medium-to-large web companies have QA departments to make sure design changes don't blow up the site for different users. Different industries do QA differently (for example, medical device QA or anyone supporting ISO 900X is more rigidly structured and policy-driven than web dev QA).
That's not true. We get the ads too :)

That's precisely what I mean by tone of voice.

Egalitarianism (and all kinds of society-improving imperatives) are important, but if someone submits a change that is objectively a small number of bytes (regardless of the social ramifications) and doesn't follow the procedures, then they are causing him a problem.

He could certainly have phrased it better (which I characterised as 'tone of voice'), but as you get your daily work done you can't always be aware of the huge weight of people with a cause ready to descend when you slip up. People need the latitude to have an off-day. Who knows what else was on his mind.

I know Joyent wasn't his employer, but if I slipped up as part of my work and got a tirade of abuse as he did, I would hope my employer would support me not stab me in the back.
I can't agree with this. I see erasing bits of the internet that don't belong to you the same way I'd see asking for people to forget memories.
V8 is able to compile PCREs directly into efficient machine code (in some cases at least), CPython is not.

I really like this idea. I think you may have something here...
As a cyclist (and a pretty law abiding one at that) I absolutely want you to treat me as a wildcard, one that you have to pay extra attention to since I'm in a pretty vulnerable position on the road.

It's fine to put cars in a "probably won't do anything unpredictable" box, if the worst comes to the worst there'll be some paperwork to fill in (might not be true for you on a motorbike of course). A cyclist the worst thing that will happen will be to the cyclist.
"Walking the beat" in the UK.

Urban Airship provides a suite of reports to reveal the effectiveness of each of your messages. UA also offers custom events for ROI analysis as well as A/B testing.
The idea of a "right" to compel other people to destroy information is comically absurd.

Obviously, 99% of the people who might abuse such a "right" are PR groups working for corrupt politicians and corporations; there's no way this is going to be useful for the average person.

This is also a huge pain in the ass technically. It is simply very hard for most sites to enforce arbitrary censorship, and we know how wonderful DMCA takedown requests have been. At least with DMCA requests and more common censorship laws (against proscribed political beliefs, pornography, etc.) there's a fairly limited scope of things that site operators have to worry about.

And this is censorship; that much is clear. You are forbidden from speaking about people who have the wherewithal to leverage this "right". These aren't even anti-slander laws; under the "right to be forgotten", you are forbidden from making even perfectly true statements about someone.
I take it you don't appreciate the irony in light of the US trying to enforce its copyright laws internationally.
The problem here is that the CFAA - especially the way it is being interpreted as of late - is a relatively new and undefined body of law. Therefore, there is not much case law on point.

As a result you have prosecutors doing what they do best, throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. The problem with throwing everything at the wall is that defendants are more inclined to accept a reasonable plea rather than face the unknown.

For example, is it reasonable to charge someone with a count under CFAA for each instance they try to access a system without permission? You can try to adapt existing case law in unrelated crimes - such as attempted murder, should someone be charged for a new count of attempted murder for each bullet that was shot at a given victim or just a single count notwithstanding the number of shots fired, or how about if there are 2 potential victims the defendant wanted dead but only shot 1 bullet near both of them? Is it reasonable to charge a count under CFAA for running vulnerability software on a website? Is it reasonable to charge someone for breaking and entering if the defendant simply checks to see if doors or windows are unlocked, should we file an additional count for each door/window that was checked or a new count for each time a door knob was turned?

These are all issues that are ripe for the courts to decide, but it will take a very long time before you have a defendant willing to take the risk. What is really troublesome is that in the meantime there are cases such as this where 44 felony counts can be reduced to a single misdemeanor in exchange for a change of plea. The fact that a prosecutor was willing to offer a deal like this means the original charges were improper even in the eyes of the prosecutor.

Expect things to only get worse in terms of prosecutorial discretion vis-a-vis charges under CFAA in the foreseeable future.
This may make the choice easier or harder, but think about this: Do you want to walk into a place with all these processes, or do you want to help create those processes? If you want to have a strong influence on tool choices and workflow, go with the less formalized company. If you just want these to exist and use them, then do the larger shop.

A full set of formal processes is comforting, but it's also restraining - things won't change unless they hit some high level of pain.

From my personal perspective, I would go with the python shop (assuming they show interest in improving their methods). Because then I could run with that freedom and kick ass building those processes over time. I would learn a lot of technical tools but also develop skills in making tough choices and tradeoffs. It can be a good start to a career to show that much initiative. But that's just how I would choose. I happen to see informality as opportunity to accomplish things I care about. But it can also mean chaos and wasted effort.

Another Task management app... I think it's fine as far as it goes, but I'd like to see a protocol based implementation of this stuff that is simple enough to work as human readable extensions to email (one of the transports, obviously a rest central server being another).

Then you can use whichever interface you want or build one yourself.

‘Censorship’ Should Apply Worldwide, E.U. Panel Says
Hi Guys, recently i suffered a credit card fraud traveling to Innsbruck in Austria or to a little village in Germany close to Fussen. I was almost sure that was thanks to Booking.
One example I can think of is how the new FB 2.0+ API does not allow access to a user's friend list unless the FB app is listed as a game. The friends API will only show the user's FB friends who also use the app. Not being able to access a user's friend list takes away much of the value of the FB API (IMHO). Also the double standard that FB apps listed as games get to continue accessing user's full friend lists is not only weird, but a bit unfair (also IMHO).
And Oleg and Boris being the perfectly reasonable guys that they are. Say "Of course you have a key that only allows $500 per day. We'll take $500 and be on our way without causing you any further harm." :)
