Please stop pretending that starting a project to build a better Perl somehow killed the camel.

It's easy to look at the rate of change and the timeline of releases of Perl after 2000. It's easy for me to argue that the announcement of P6 (and the promise that 6.0 would be a successor to 5.10 or 5.12) took a lot of momentum from working on Perl.

I suspect, but can't prove without a time machine and a multiverse, that if the "they're sister languages" line of thinking had been in place from the start, Perl could have avoided its lost decade (5.6.0 to 5.10.1).
Yes, but the draft is already running in production and mainlined in Chrome, as well as BoringSSL (and thus throughout Google, I understand?) and LibreSSL - nothing stopping you from benefiting from it right now. The final spin on the AEAD's in final draft, it won't be too long, then the TLS WG is importing that.

(I'm still working out the details - there are a few things about the VPU we don't know - but the ChaCha core function in particular looks like something the VPU could do very naturally, except that it's got diagonals. However a permutation to make those vertical might fix that, and if it can wrap around and the transform doesn't cancel out the benefit, it might perform very well. Or, it might block and be slower than the CPU. Hard to know at this stage, but if I come up with a good implementation I'll release it.)
The official name is io.js, which should never be capitalized, especially not at the start of a sentence, unless it is being displayed in a location that is customarily all-caps (such as the title of man pages).
I prefer Pivotal Tracker by a mile.

So, incomes were flat or down for 14 years, and have since slightly rebounded to be just 4% less than in 2000, not 8% like they were. Shall I pop the champagne or do you want to?
I don't think anyone is saying that. There's plenty of proof that lots of businesses that function...even thrive by paying people poverty wages. The question however is...is that right? Are you okay climbing to the top on the back of someone else? If you are, then you'll do well. If you aren't then your hike up will be difficult and slow.
Especially the French one!

(I'm half joking, half serious - I grew up with a qwertz DE nodeadkey layout which certainly doesn't look sane from the outside either and exclusively use the US one now)
Study Says Developers Are Going to Target More Devices and Systems in 2015
From a wages perspective, but doesn't the same math that you just described also apply to the cost of production?

It's kind of like how when people go to Switzerland and then they don't ever go to a cafe, because it seems ridiculous to take $7 of the money you earned back in the States, or in China, and then spend it on a cup of coffee. The marginal difference between a cup of coffee and a cup of wine also decrease, so it locks in higher consumption.

On the durable goods side, you are competing with farther-away places that have lower costs. It's why all the "maker" shops moved out of San Francisco and into Portland. It's not possible to economically produce handmade bikes in SF anymore. The only companies able to "export" are tech startups.
The problem is that 90% of their 2 mil song catalog is still only CD Quality (16 bit / 44.1 Khz). 256 / 320 Kbps vs. CD Quality is pretty hard to differentiate for most people. But 256 / 320 Kbps vs. 24 bit / 96 Khz should be fairly obvious.

And of course, you need a good pair of headphones.
The hash randomization for security is above this part of the code.
When you say "this site", please include the actual site that you are referring to (edit: like "mkweb.co.uk", rather than "this site" or "the site of the current URL"). It is hard for others to tell if a comment like this is actually referring to the current article, or it has subsequently been changed. Edit: this applies to people other than mods here too. In general, if discussing the title or some aspect of whether the correct source was used for the news story in question, please quote the title or include the name of the site you are referring to, as otherwise a subsequent change by the moderators can make your comment nonsensical.

As a note: I really wish that HN would include a history of title and/or link changes for an article, so that when you go to a thread an people are complaining about some problem with one of them (or are reading the article with an interpretation based on the old title), it becomes easier to tell what they were referring to by checking against the history. As it is, in a large number of the cases in which a title or link is changed, a large portion of the discussion no longer makes sense as it was referring to the old title and/or link.

I've been to ~15 countries in Europe, a couple in Asia and the USA. The latter was the only place I've witnessed it. That's not to say it's the only place it happens, but it certainly seems anecdotally to be a rarity.

Maybe instead of a snide reply to your parent comment you could've given an example of another country than the US to have this issue caused by regionalised sales tax differences?
I was once trying to compare US unemployment to other countries but was not sure which "U" statistic is closest to how others measure unemployment. Anyone has an idea for example within the EU?

For any kind of serverside development I recommend you get a Linux VM. I too prefer to develop on windows but one must understand that in this day and age no one will take you seriously of you host on Windows.

Oh the Irony since the United States of America was founded by Terrorists.
Agreed as well, with the one qualifier - "yet". It was not very long ago that Meteor lacked something as simple as authentication and method protections. While it's not clear when some of these features will arrive 100%, they will come eventually through a community-driven effort or through an officially sponsored implementation.
Never code, but data, all the time. I write scrapers and such that produce MBs worth of output text. For quick hacks, large text files are great. I even drop large binaries into my text editor just to search for a string sometimes (easier than opening up a cli to strings | grep). At my job I frequently work with XML files measuring 100+MB, I didn't make that design choice, but I gotta work on it now.

This is good news but I'm a little confused, if Io.js supports ES6 why do you need 6to5?
io.js also ships with the node.js active core developers...

It's also a common filler to initialize memory for easier debugging later.
No one "supports" it. People will improve the bits that bother them. In the aggregate, these activities amount to more than you could ever pay to have done.

The beauty of open source model is it gives the desperately motivated the means to fix their problems in a way that benefits everyone.
It is far from being perfect metrics, I agree. However, it is a good way to compare unemployment fluctuation over time as long as we keep the same paramaters over time.
And like clockwork, the anti's come out with the same anecdotal FUD. This one linking to a previous thread out of laziness.

Value Object Refactoring
I ported Mono's WinForms implementation to .NET Core some time ago as a proof of concept: https://twitter.com/akoeplinger/status/546832629010817024

Would be great if MS open-sourced WinForms as well so we could fill in the gaps.
ES6 support is not a binary thing. IO.js has a newer version of V8 that supports more ES6 features than node.js's V8 version, but its not even close to all of ES6. to 6to5 shims the rest of the ES6 featureset. see here for more info: http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/
Thanks for the correction. I recalled the original release of debian for the Pi didn't have floating point support, but did not recall that that was because Debian was building towards the least common denominator. I don't think you'd get that many more interesting packages with the new arch, but you probably will get a lot more usability out of the packages
The Impact Trap
Since I wrote a string hash code function recently[1], I was interested to see what they use. Like many, they're using[2] the venerable djb hash. That sent me down a rabbit hole where I discovered that Bernstein was 19 when he wrote about it. Wow.

While I agree with the general conclusion of the other comments nobody seems to get the reasons right. Yes, the number is incorrect. But they don't need to make up the number. If you don't offer any social security system, then there is no reason for people to go to the office. They don't go because of "cultural" reasons. They don't go because there's no benefit. In a country like Germany you actually get money and basic products like fridge, apartment, maybe even a TV. If you have to choose between trying something crazy/risky or going to the agency most people in Germany will go to the job agency. No cultural reason, just rewards.

So in the end nobody is lying but the basic structure of the system is different which makes different true numbers. to make a more reasonable comparison the unofficial workers should be counted instead of the unemployed. But the thing is that they are hard to count.
I like the cast, I hope it stays fairly true to the book.
The unemployment rate of the US is not based on those collecting benefits, but a broad household survey by a separate agency (BLS). Thus its calculation doesn't depend on the unemployment-insurance/welfare/social-security systems at all.
The "research" was completely legal, right. Not involving accessing or using computers you didn't have explicit access to access? If not then you'll probably be considered as guilty as the cracker you were chasing if Netherlands has something akin to the UK Computer Misuse Act.

I'd hold off contacting the EC3 if I were you.
This may just be me (or maybe London/UK-related), but in my experience restaurants/bars that list prices as just "7" are generally more up-market (or want to be), and having that connection in my mind I tend to pay more attention to costs when I see it like that, as I'm already expecting a not-tiny bill before I even start thinking about the prices themselves.
> but most Libertarians do not really give a fuck about competition, only that the government does not interfere with corporations in any way

No, libertarians are against excessive control over society, not necessarily corporations. I.e. if corporation is a monopoly, it itself gets excessive control over society, so as such libertarians support preventing monopolies. That's the logic behind it. I've never seen a libertarian who is supporting monopoly. It simply sounds like an oxymoron to me.
I've often wished that I could visit a bookstore to buy e-books, with a commission going to the store. The entire transaction could take place via mobile, but physical books would be available in the store for browsing and discovery.

Alternately, put out a physical tip jar for showroomers.
If that's a terrorist, what's someone that kills multiple people? He's at best a "criminal", possibly a felon. Not anything more.
Interesting startup. However I am a bit worried because their site does not have an SSL certificate. Also there really is no about us on their site.
If unemployment is down, wages should be up. But wages are down. That implies...

Or it could show this is a multivariable system with more than just one input?
borderlands empirically demonstrates that is not a very large populace, or perhaps that populace was enjoying serendipity at borderlands then buying from amazon

ps -- some of that serendipity is available online too; see eg the big ideas -- authors talking some aspect of their novels -- on John Scalzi's site. Of the fiction books I've read in the last 3 years, probably 80% of them have come from reading these posts. http://whatever.scalzi.com/category/big-idea/
Yeah the lack of SQL db connectors is really surprising for a 1.0 platform; I'm sure it's going to be tricky to implement that so I give them a bit of pass on that front.

The lack of out of the box other NoSQL options is puzzling though because NoSQL db's are a lot close to each other than pure SQL is. And given the general disdain for MongoDB these days, it seems that uncoupling from that dependency would be a high priority. I'm sure there are plenty people on HN that simply won't even give it the time of day because of MongoDB.

Must I? We clearly don't talk to the same people, then. Not only have I never judged someone or something based on what web host they use (seriously?), I've never heard anyone say or intimate that they would, either.
Maybe bookstores could charge a pay-what-you-want admission fee, like museums.

I think we're agreed that the present approach is not optimal. I share your concerns about having to "run it by legal".

I would prefer the Comments section to be preceded by a highly explicit statement of intention:

"End of the license text. The following statements are the copyright holder's comments on the license and in no way add any terms or conditions to those given above."

Or something like that. Better yet, the comments could be moved to a separate file; but now I'm repeating myself...

I also share your interpretation of the motives. I read carefully all of the material linked from Dr. Tarver's recent license-related posts to the Shen mailing list, and your replies as well.

The sentence under Comments that is causing confusion reads: "This work may be placed under any license of choice except GPL..."

The subject of the previous sentence is "original code", which leads me to understand "[t]his work" as referring to the same. But perhaps you're correct and it's referring back to Shen itself.
Your data is for households. One recent trend is that households are getting smaller which skews household statistics.
And in Seattle there's bookstore owners/managers who attribute their success specifically to the high-wage earners who come to the local independent bookstores to shop[1]. Think of highly paid Amazon workers (or perhaps even folks with higher minimum wages) having extra money to spend... on local bookstores.

But then the same bookstore mentioned in the NY Times article[1] goes on to say a higher minimum wage could be fatal.[2]

Either theres some hypocrisy going on or the people with the newer, higher minimum wages are not spending their money on bookstores. I'd guess the latter. But at what point are wages too high or too low so we can have local bookstores and support them? Should we even be encouraging that in the first place?

Or look at it another way: How and why are successful bookstores being successful?

Angular.js is a framework, so it's no surprise that you have to understand how it works and use its idioms.

It's also batteries included, so it makes certain choices for you in exchange for cleaner integration. These are choices you have to make for yourself when using React. This is freedom at the cost of integration. Framework decisions always involve deciding on this tradeoff.
Seriously?

How the heck does this happen to a real company, supposedly with a disaster recovery plan?

Seems like the obvious fix is blow away / reformat the compromised server, reload web application source code (backed up on another box, right?), reload application data (backed up on another box, right?) and away we go....

For a financial company???? <sadness>
What happens if you stick with 0.11.2 - the last version that was released under the Apache 2.0 license? This specific license should allow you to make modifications like bug fixes or some other incremental improvements.

The existence of prior art is also interesting especially in the case with Immutable.js which is basically a JavaScript implementation of common data structures and algorithms.
Even better: use data from your own project management (or at least pretend you're using it internally).
Right. There is no fixed percentage.

I used the term "low bar" in an opaque way. If the question is, "How much do I have to give?" then the answer is "You're asking the wrong question."

Jesus talks about money in Luke 12, and his opinions (on inheritance and accumulation of wealth) would run counter to God-loves-rich-people theology. Heck, they probably run counter to what most Americans would consider common sense.

If you are looking for unusual conditions, scanning through visually is sometimes easier than it would be to try to grep for the particulars of an entry, especially if you don't know the particulars of the unusual condition yet.

Some editors with "minimap" functionality (Sublime Text and Emacs that I'm aware of, maybe others) can give you a fairly good visual overview of large swaths of a file at once. Sometimes strange entries are obvious just because of the shape of the line and in those cases the minimap makes it easy to see when something unusual is happening.
The problem with your argument is that terrorist now becomes a kind of no true scotsman. If someone is advocating the wholesale and random destruction of infrastructure to scare people, then yes, that's terrorism. The idea that you need to be Islamic to be a terrorist is, frankly, racist. If ISIS was doing this, no one would have an issue with the terrorist label. Hammond pretty much fits the bill.

I'm the creator of a Rogue-like game (Dead By Zombie) and love NetHack, consider it one of the masterpieces of game design I've tried to study and learn from. Lessons baked into it both in terms of game design and software. Has a lot of bang per buck, in terms of fun/value per LOC, and per square inch of screen real estate.

If anybody gets introduced to Rogue-like UI for the first time because of this article, and likes it, I also recommend checking out Dwarf Fortress. Similar but very very different in ways that people tend to either love or hate.

The discussion was whether students could force the machine ( a laptop they could take home with them ) into a state where they could use it to cheat during tests.

TPM chips generally provide the following:
1. An encrypted store that can only be accessed by an authorized portion of code ( such as booting an encrypted drive ). Checks are done to ensure the code being run is signed.
2. Secure RNG ( random number generation )
3. Various other public/private key stuff

Typically you can enable/disable TPM from the BIOS. ( whether it is a physically removeable TPM chip or not )

Obviously removing/destroying the TPM chip will cause a loss of data, but that is irrelevant if you don't care about that data and are willing to reinstall the OS.

It isn't hard to install a clean OS on a wiped drive. Even supposing somehow you couldn't reset the BIOS to shut off the TPM and force a normal clean drive boot process, I was speculating if removing/destroying the TPM would revert to booting normally.

Note there was a lot of anger when TPMs were initially introduced, because they could effectively be used to force a system to only ever boot a signed OS. ( removing the ability to run Linux ) This is my curiosity; if on normal systems this can be forced or not.

Considering there is no true definition of the term "terrorist, I would speculate that it is a term used to label political dissidence with whom those in power wish to cast in a negative light to quell an ignorant population who are too infatuated with their own lives and only listen to headlines to know that they're being manipulated.

But, that's just speculation.

In terms of the use of the words "old man" since you did not cite references so I looked it up, and I am assuming you meant his confrontation protest against a Holocaust denier[1]. It seemed to be politically motivated and therefore a protest, though, in an unconventional manner . But, hey, in this day and age, who can trust anything on the internet.

I would imagine "actual terrorist" is more akin to the Batman character "The Joker" who just "wants to watch the world burn" no motivation, just because.

I love Reveal. I've been using it all day today. No different from any other day when I'm doing front end iOS stuff.

If you're new to the iOS dev scene, this is a killer app for saving time. It's like a real-time introspection tool that I have open permanently when working on apps. The Xcode 6 introspection tool feels like a quick facsimile of Reveal. If you've not tried it you should.
A terrorist is not a mass murderer, it is someone who uses terrorism to further their political or ideological beliefs. He's done so with anonymous, with activist groups and on his own.

More to the point of the terrorism watch list, having this guy near an airport (or buying lots of household chemicals) would make me very nervous if I was law enforcement. He's like the poster child for the watch list.
