Don't forget Isao Takahata another founder of Studio Ghibli and director of Grave of the Fireflies, Only Yesterday, Pom Poko and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Yet have to see The Tale of the Princess Kaguya which is discussed in the article but the drama Grave of the Fireflies is a masterpiece to me. The only truly beautiful film in my memory which I bitterly regret having watch. To me the best movie to give you the feels of World War II, even more than acclaimed titles like "The Pianist" or "Life is Beautiful". A must see.

IMHO Isao Takahata is the primary reason why an end to Studio Ghibli doesn't make sense despite Miyazaki bitter vision of the Studios. For those who know Miyazaki's temperament it's not a big deal. My interpretation is that he would have wanted the Studios to be as true, ambitious and fantastic as a Ghibli movie. Well by visiting/knowing the Studios, I bet most of us would be quite taken aback by the lovely people and the atmosphere reigning there.
Man, you really live up to the negative libertarian stereotypes

"They have no right to do this. Open Source does not mean the source is somehow 'open'. That's my code, not theirs. If I make something private, it means that no matter how desperately you need to call it, I should be able to prevent you from doing so, even long after I've gone to the grave."
Hey! He wasn't driven to suicide so it's a success story.
If every "five years of experience Java Swing developer" starts looking around for a better job position, isn't that a bit similar to a sector wide union asking for a raise?
Considering that would still be medical data, and my original point is to shield someone's medical data (in that specific case, privacy to not have your nudes on the internet), I dont think I would, sounds like something I would be super private about!
I wonder if Mr/Mrs ad44@cityscape.co.uk talks to his friends and family like that, what an asshole.

From an outsiders point of view, linux projects are filled with people like this. Linus, Ulrich Depper, etc. Really turns me off from ever contributing when these dudes (or girls I dunno) act like this.
Mansplaining is a thing, really. But this reads like Socratic dialogue to me. At least I hope it's not a literal transcript of an actual conversation.
Well, this answer is a workaround. And I'm sorry it's a ridiculous one. What if I'm not on a laptop? What if this is a server system?
> If the code is useful to enough people, then there is damage to everyone else who might have benefited the port.

So what? There exist enough codes which are licensed under some kind of "open source" license for which you still have to pay to the patent holder if you actually use the code. While "somebody else" can benefit from using it, he/she still has to pay if the patent holder demands so.

Not every "open source" license is automatically a "GNU" one.

It's not only the moral issue (who benefits) but also the legal one. Even ignoring the legal one, imagine you being in his shoes: you earn money by selling your invention, and for convenience to your clients, you sell them your code. Then somebody asks you to allow him to include your code in some other project which is published under some other "open source license." You agree not knowing what that actually means, for example, because he who asked used misleading language. Later you find out that you misunderstood the effects of that action. Morally, the agreement where one agrees only because he was mislead is certainly not the agreement which has to be enforced. It should be annulled.
The set of candidates that leave to get another job is different from those that stay. They are likely more skilled/motivated, and that's a large part of the job-switching premium. If everyone were to try to switch jobs many people would not be as effective.
No, the discussion was mostly about the parameter as a way to suppress fsck if you know you're in a hurry at boot time.

That argument was followed with other 'bad luck, if you want tonchange your choice' examples, like rm-ing a file.
The argument sucks, but at no point a hard reset was part of the suggestion, really. More a "Yeah, so why didn't you pass the parameter and why do you complain about that afterwards"

That said, both sides of the discussion became immature rather quickly (my favorite is the "I killed a Windows 8 laptop because only that stopped the updates") and the issue isn't all that big in the first place, because systemd might support fsck interruption in the future/it seems to be on the todo list and therefor accepted as a missing feature.
>I imagine programming and related fields (networking, system administration and integration, other IT operations) will still be very lucrative in 100 and 200 years from now.

I'm going to quote something told to me by an MIT professor in Computer Science. I won't say who, but he said it this past September.

"In 500 years, all economic activity will be carried out by algorithms, if anyone at all is left."
If how to create these giant matchstick regexes interest you,
there is a wonderful(famous?) perl script generating a regex 6,598 chars long, more optimized and faster than earlier attempt at 4,724 bytes,
in Jeffrey Friedl's book, Mastering Regular Expressions, 1st edition, Oreilly, pp 312-316, Appedix B: Email Regex Program.
The legal issues here relatively straightforward and were touched on by one comment in the github issue thread.

The Java implementation is protected by copyright.

The algorithm itself would be protected by a patent, which he (generally) could file for within a year of publishing.

And the odds of getting that patent (in the US) would be fairly low, given recent Supreme Court rulings.
Of course zfs is superior to many fs in many ways. But this is also a systemd way of telling people to "use this, not anything other. That's the best".

Systemd people are not helping the community.
FP isn't a silver bullet. A statically-typed function language with a strong type system will keep some classes of issues away. It will not, however, prevent logic errors or infinite loops or resource leaking.

Oh right, my Apple TV 2 came out in 2010 and has seen only a minor update (1080p vs 720p) since then. Hm...
Yeah, the constant stream of security holes in PHP because the developers are so bad they actually chased away the only person they had who cared about security is nothing to worry about. You can just dip your app in some magic security sauce and everything will be fine.
Is anyone else grossed out with the fact that systemd is parsing the kernel's command line? This is like if some program started reading unrelated crap from another program's command line, just because.

Edit: I guess downvoters don't care about code smell. This is literally like an unrelated process pulling out someone else's argv and using it as their own. Ick.
Inflation is more like 2%, and I don't think raises average that high.
Minor point, but that's actually an application, not a patent. It might be a patent later, but it isn't yet.
The common man rents. The better off common man buys a house in a market with now reinflated prices. If you're a buyer, low prices are better than lower interest rates.

If you're trying to have an argument, you've picked the wrong person. I'm not defending Brian; I'm simply pointing out a relevant trick that I thought people reading this thread may find helpful.
As a junior software engineer you should definitely put feelers out. I would bet changing jobs will increase your pay by at _least_ 10% (that's what happened to me) when most companies only give a raise of about 5%. Even if you don't want to change jobs, if you get an offer somewhere else for more pay you can show that to your current employer. If they really want to keep you then they will increase your pay to match.
the book describing the making of Casablanca is quite explicit about the pressures the appeasers and American Nazis put on Hollywood.

This really isn't an example of mansplaining.
What's impossible? Reassigning copyright to the project maintainer?
I'm having this exact issue with my current employer and my past two as well. I was and am being significantly underpaid compared to my coworkers because of my age and experience despite bringing the same level of technical skill and often taking on the larger workload (not speculative; also have 3 dependents). With the exception of the first, I have not been miserable, but without exception, all 3 have been unwilling to go to bat for my wages and would rather lose me, even while professing that that course of action would be a value loss.

Maybe I'm delusional about my skill and work ethic but I have found that issues of wages are never easily resolved and it's easier to just increase your wages by switching jobs. One startup of ~20 employees and two large companies.
Discover got $1.2 billion. Capital one got $3.6 billion. Both are a small fraction of the $25 billion Wells Fargo and Citigroup got.
4realz are you serious? What is the actual downside of that? As a kid, it made perfect sense to me, and I often would right click the image and press reload or just refresh the whole page. Now whenever images don't load (which is often these days, since cloudfare blocks tor 90% of the time until you load the image in a separate window and fill out their captcha, and even without tor, wireless networks tend to be extremely unreliable), it's not easy to tell whether the page is broken, since it just collapses the spaces where the images would have been.

Further, if you directly view an image and it breaks half way, the browser will hide it and say it's corrupt (and have no "show anyway" button), unless the size wasn't provided, then the browser just thinks it's valid, despite that it could parse the JPEG file and find out that lines of pixels are missing. Calling either of these cases a feature seems very biased.

We aren't even talking about one of the worse problems, which is when a page fails to load, the browser doesn't try to reload it - you have to come back and press reload yourself. I've wasted literally hundreds of hours doing this.
Is it essentially a C interpreter that runs on the metal? Or is there more to it? What about device drivers?
>if you don't intend it to be re-usable, then you shouldn't pick a permissive, open source license such as BSD.

Any open source license is going to pose the same "problem". If you don't want it to be open source, don't make it open source. Permissive license doesn't even enter into it.
"I’m a career coach and can help you master every part of the job search process."

Right on the money.
I don't have the statistics so I'm not going to argue.

But the question is a question of probability and information divergence. If 0.0001% of the population was Montessori educated, but 1% of famous people were (whatever your definition of "famous" is), then it is greatly informative. If 0.0001% of famous people are, then it is not informative.

And note that even if informative, it might not be a causal relationship - it could be that the "causal" relationship is "parents who are open to alternative education systems", or "parents who can afford alternative education systems and are willing to", and the Montessori link is incidental. I do not know and I don't think anyone really does.

Regardless, I find those educational principles much more logical than the traditional ones, and would thus prefer them if given the chance.
Ask HN: Considering leaving my job at a startup? What should I consider?
I have a solid job at a rapidly growing startup. I joined about 6 months ago. But its changed a lot since I joined (we're doing well so the team is growing quickly). Everyday I feel like I want to leave to start something of my own. I'm in my early 20s and would be able to take the risk financially, as I've saved up quite a bit. I have several ideas, but I am always so exhausted after writing code for 8-9 hours a day that I definitely don't want to come home after commuting for 45 minutes (plus I like having somewhat of a social life).

The projects that I have worked on lose steam eventually because I've been working on them for months and see little progress. Part of me feels like its a no brainer to leave. I have no responsibility, I can afford it, and I feel like I will enjoy it more. Plus, I feel I'm really only learning from myself at the startup.

The other half of me thinks it's silly. I should stay for 6 more months and get my small amount of equity to see what it will be worth. Even at an absurd outcome >1B the payout won't affect my life all that much.

Any other things to consider? Any advice? I feel like other people have had similar thoughts or even experience leaving.
I know for a fact that I could walk out the door and get a 20k raise. Well, not quite because our benefits are phenomenal so in terms of total compensation it'd be a but less.

But that's not everything in life, I really enjoy where I work and the company's mission resonates with me.

If the money is important, do both of what you suggest but consider that money ain't everything
How to Avoid Real Estate Scams?
@woah

I've been nothing but nice here, and I've been mocked, derided, and called names for it. For debating something as simple and non-emotional as economics, and I supposedly live up to some negative stereotype.

1) I'm not a libertarian.

2) I didn't argue anything inflammatory or negative. I've said nothing mean, at all. I said a highly capitalist country can't have high taxation, a large government, and high regulations. I'm absolutely correct about that. By definition, that cannot be a very capitalist nation.
> does not have a basic understanding of copyright law

I think that this is more a case of the "unknown unknowns." He probably thought that he did have a good grasp of copyright law and that was why he didn't need to talk to a lawyer.
4realz. For me (firefox on slow connections), those kinds of blogs just take seconds to load, then blank out for a few seconds, then the content is displayed again in a different font. Typically I'd be reading half way through the introduction and then the page turns blank. I usually just close the page at that point since those types of blogs don't typically have any useful information.
>Supply eventually will greatly exceed demand.

This could only come true if there was a shift in programming technology that made it a lot easier for someone without aptitude for programming as we know it, or the average person started to end up with more programming aptitude (maybe due to a revolution in early education or parenting methods). Programming as we know it is very highly dependent on aptitude. Read this: http://blog.codinghorror.com/separating-programming-sheep-fr...
Since it's BSD licensed, you could make a port as a derivative work, and then license that under BSD just fine.

That is, if it weren't for the patent issue. And clean room design doesn't help against patents.
You make it clear that you are not backing Brian. I'm just trying to tell the shortcomings of your trick. Also in this case it also involves back in time travel or being prepared. If you want to be prepared tune2fs would be a better choice.
Isn't that just replacing hardcoded IP addresses with hardcoded DNS hostnames? Not much of an improvement.
Financial crimes at this scale are extremely complicated and it's not as straightforward to just say 'send HSBC to jail'. Who's guilty and guilty of what is outside my armchair lawyer knowledge, maybe you are in a better position.

Many people comment like 'law is for small people', etc. But it's just simply not understanding the crime of that nature. Huge money laundering operations are much more complicated than one guy treating bitcoin like monopoly money.
There's a much worse point to miss in this post.

Four years down the line, do you want companies looking at your CV and seeing you change jobs every 10-12 months? How good an investment are you as a hire if you're going bail shortly after you're up to speed and a productive member of the team?

This is why all the big tech companies give substantial raises in RSUs. It's that carrot stick along with the promise of a promotion always just within reach that makes job hopping difficult.
At least plan to stay with a company for 2 years. It never looks good to have resumes with pages of jobs.
Those programmers were born, not made; they just didn't discover it as early as some others. This isn't a myth. It's supported by various studies. Professors in the field I've talked to have all agreed. It's a double bell curve: http://blog.codinghorror.com/separating-programming-sheep-fr...

(For some value of born. It might be innate, it might be due to experiences during formative years; all that's known is that by the college age it appears to either be there or not.)
I think that is because it removed the hidden tab from memory and doesn't keep a local persistent cache.
Thanks for the warm welcome feedback - voila the answers:
1. Good idea to make features list page so you can get a sense for the service before you sign up. (yes, we support string check for content - released 2 days ago, currently no custom headers though at this point)

2. registered and members are one and the same. everyone get's unlimited urls. everyone gets sms alerts (and email and tweet)

3. We hear a lot: 'Why is it free' and 'how can you make it reliable and free' - For us, Monitority is an investment. It is our belief that there is huge value in a free monitoring product, and by that I don't mean the bait and catch freemium model - since we didn't find any serious free one, we set out to build it ourselves.

We don't plan to have monitoring paid services - we are focused on getting website owners & startup companies to use it.

What would make you switch? - I don't know exactly what you are getting from your current service - you can try us out (really simple on-board process) and see for yourself how you can save on your monitoring costs.

As we are free service, you are currently talking to customer service ;) feel free to contact me with any problem at daniel@monitority.com

Thanks for trying and for your valuable feedback.
Does the C standard define a compiler? Then this is not C, otherwise, depends how close it is to the standard, that is how many shortcuts and workarounds are used. On Linux you can use GDB to achieve similar results, I guess.
> You agree not knowing what that actually means

Exactly.

Firstly, kudos to project maintainer for handling the situation gracefully. I respect that he respected M3 creator's wishes.

You're quite right in an ideal universe. Ours is far from that. The code for the project is out there, so if someone does not want to pay the programmer, then they will reimplement it in house and no one will ever know about it period. If on the other hand they prefer the port, then there must be a good reason for it such as better compatibility/maintainability/performance/etc.

Now let's go to the ideal universe. Well, if everyone abides the rules, then the project creator effectively contaminated other programmers. If someone interested in solving the same problem examined the code thoroughly, then they are influenced by the solution and that is perfectly reasonable because they looked at the code thinking it is under BSD licence. Now that they know they are influenced by the program, they are ethically obliged to avoid solving the problem or they would be infringing author's "copyright" (that is despite the fact that you cannot copyright an algorithm).

North Korean and South Korean dialects are very different, but you are correct in that they are adept at sneaking agents into Japan. But they threatened "9/11 style" attacks on movie theaters, of which they are certainly not capable, especially if the movie goes straight to VOD.

I think there's an argument going on between Sony Pictures and Sony Japan over the release, and that right now everyone is sitting on their hands waiting to see how the U.S. government responds. But since there's already screener copies out there, I would put money on the movie seeing the light of day.

Are there even e-ink displays with characteristics suitable for hacker/developer use? Their application has been so greatly limited to e-readers that I'm unclear how well current displays would function in a general-purpose system.

Likewise, the impression I've gotten is that that e-ink has been kind of stuck behind the dominance of LCD (and OLED to a lesser extent), both in perceived desirability and in resources being put into R&D.

Limit the Amount of Dependencies You Use
Salary is a very touchy issue and there's several things to consider. One, that its a negotiation and you have to be very careful in your communications and diligent about protecting your own interests.

As an employee you're at a built-in disadvantage. Management knows everyone's salaries, you don't. Salaries are a closely guarded secret and they maintain that informational advantage against you.
So, you really have to look at industry averages for your role and decide if you are not being appropriately compd.

Now, about mgmt valuing you and not letting you go. First, NEVER threaten to leave. They may preempt that and cut you, or you'll go on a list of troublemakers. Managers have lists of people in their heads they would like to cut if given the opportunity. It's the people that get cut whenever there is a layoff, when teams have to be downsized.

It's important to understand mgmt's perspective. They have dozens of people in slots to get things done. No one person is indispensable, especially at the staff level where most programmers are. A slot goes open, they fill it. I've worked with managers with the biggest hearts, good guys, not mean spirited or unappreciative of their employees at all. They will not necessarily blink twice when an employee says they'll walk.

I would say, if you have a good case you're under compd, or unhappy. NICELY go to mgmt. If they won't do anything, get an offer from another company. Then you have the choice to just leave, or go back to your company and you have leverage and then its going to essentially be an ultimatum to keep you. But be very nice and polite about it.
