I guess, but a lot of IDE's are not even made in the same language the person is programming in, the spell checker is independent from the language. PyCharm is evident of this, a Python IDE coded in Java (and portions in Python, but mostly Java).
So in other words, subways are solutions in search of a problem.
I thought you sounded like a jackass, and started it with "TERRIBLE."

The other guy was pedantic and sort-of sounded like an ass near the end. He took things a bit personally, maybe having a bad day or something.

He seems a little baffled about why you're angry that you got a "straight no" when that's the answer to your question.

I wouldn't have submitted to having an argument with you, but I'm not surprised he did. I don't think it's particularly awful in any sense. He was just too lengthy--he should have just said (in his 2nd email) something like "Sorry, but our setup does not include permanent URLs. It's part of the security policy our company has decided on. Let me know if I can help in some other way."

I don't get the impression you'd have been satisfied with that, either.
> Replacing man pages because 'they look old' is a terribly stupid idea.

I fully agree, and it's not what I meant to say. What I meant is writing new pages in a newer language (insert random lightweight text based format, preferably one where the 'see also' part is linkable) and groff is simply deprecated and supported as well. Since there is currently support, why do we need a maintainer? That is my question.

> Things that are old and work are not to be messed with.

Agreed, so what's the maintainer going to do?

> Maybe we don't need groff to prepare them, but we need man pages.

Once again, I agree. Sorry if I sounded like man pages are unnecessary, that is not what I meant.

But, so what? Did the Beats ask the north beach cafes if they could hang out? Did the hippies ask the residents of the Haight if they could make it the center of the counter culture? Did the gays ask the Castro residents if they wanted to be the center of gay rights? In every case the people mentioned just did it. Just like the tech folks are doing now. Lets see what comes of it rather than grasping on to the past. It's a hell of a lot easier to sell art, do theater, have concerts when your patrons have money. Change is not always bad and reality rarely mimics binary opposition...
Does evernote have a command line api tool, like s3cmd and gsutil ?

We built s3cmd into our environment a year or two ago[1] and gsutil is running in beta right now ... we'd be happy to build in an evernote tool so you could sync evernote to your rsync.net account ...

If IoT becomes a security or safety nightmare, which I think most of us will concede as possible if not likely, there will be a public outcry that will result in either gov't oversight and regulation or the industry being sued out of existence. So, assuming for the moment that the IoT industry does not want to be suffocated by lawsuits, the real question for it is by whose hand regulations emerge and are enforced; the industry itself or the gov't?

Industry-based regs, e.g. UL.com, will be the least burdensome. But almost always an industry cannot self-regulate because of free riders, et al., or out of a short-term focus over profit maximization. So, in steps gov't regulation. And gov't regulation is very often over-kill, like using a bazooka to kill a fly. Said bazooka does result in a dead bug but also a lot of collateral damage to the industry being regulated. Think the FAA and how it's Part 23 regulations have both guaranteed safe aircraft and stagnated the general aviation industry nearly to death.

With articles such as this one and Gawker's "Why is My Smarthome So Fucking Stupid", it's pretty obvious that the IoT industry as a whole should be embracing and spreading industry-wide security, safety, and UX standards. Yet, for now there seems to be no such industry initiative to do so, leaving the task to Apple and, to a much lesser degree, Google. With HomeKit, Apple is forcing partners to adhere to tight security and usability standards. With its large user-base of ApplePay-enabled, willing consumers, Apple can force its will upon IoT partners going through the HomeKit acceptance process. But as if on cue, some partners, exhibiting short-sightedness, have whined to the press that Apple's process is onerous. While I'm sure Apple is more than happy to let IoT manufacturers not affiliated with HomeKit IED themselves through lax security or UX, for the industry it's a big mistake.
The minimum order is 25$, not including tax, and I don't know if that includes the delivery charge. So the final Octo Sushi price has a minimum of around $27.50-30.00.
ES6 is especially nice with D3.js:

.attr('transform', function(d) { return "translate(" + (d.x + 1) + " 0)"; })

becomes:

.attr('transform', d => `translate(${d.x + 1} 0)`)

And:

.attr({x:x, y:y, width:width, height:height})

.attr({x, y, width, height})
idk man I just want to be able to order sushi
I've thought about what you said. It's not terrible advice, I think, and I can see what you mean.

It was difficult to apply in my situation, though. on top of my many-hour commute, family commitments, normal day-to-day work (bug fixing is all throughput, no down time), I just don't know how many more hours of my day I could commit, which is why I ended up quitting that job.

Others seem to make more progress for less work, so I'm doing something wrong, or just not seeing what they are, or whatever.

Thanks for your advice.

I am really really curious how anyone is trying to solve the problem of Hydrogen leaking out of literally any container you could put it into. Smallest molecule+huge pressure = leaks out of pure lead canisters. When Mercedes made their Hydrogen-powered concept car they said the whole tank would evaporate naturally within 3 weeks if I remember correctly? As hydrogen forms an explosive mixture with air, I cannot see the problem of it leaking into surrounding environment as not being completely critical.

I am in year two of my startup and it's basically:

Wake up at 7am, work out, work until 7pm, rush home to eat quickly for 20 minutes (on the walk to and from work listening to podcasts about startups and business), and working until midnight.

Weekends, spend the afternoons working. Paying ourselves (two founders) $36k/year until we reach certain milestones.

I make tradeoffs - there is only really time for work, working out, and occasionally going out. This means not a lot of time with friends, going back to China to see extended family, and constantly feeling stressed.

But getting to work full-time on something you believe in and having the opportunity to build a great business and achieve financial independence is totally worth it.
Yes, it does. Various backends use it, if you want to implement one that's not supported, extend `social.backends.openid.OpenIdConnectAuth`.
I wonder if that's just a UX issue though. There are already many services which post the first 100-odd characters before continuing onto a link with the full text.

Health Care Opens Stable Career Path, Taken Mainly by Women
If you are working for work after graduation I would consider the school rather than the location. It is easier for a large company to sponsor a visa than a small one and a large company will visit all the good schools. Plus if you network with your fellow students, who knows where they may take you. It will be easier to network with your fellow students than with people already in the industry.
And attending a good school will go further than being in the right location.
Wouldn't messages passing from the future to the past imply that the future can then influence the past? Which of course introduces a slew of paradoxes. I realize the concept is concerned with single particles, but could there exist a series of messages that alters the original particles so much so as to introduce a paradox? (e.g. in the vein of "the grandfather paradox" in human time travel to the past, where a man kills his own grandfather.)

What Is a Woman?
Again, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It seems though that some of the "tough love" comments are just beating up on me for whatever reason. It's really not necessary or helpful to anyone.

Yes, Chainsaw did give me some good advice. I thanked him for his candor immediately as well.

Why do you assume his advice was ignored and assume that I am one of those "I'm awesome, why won't people hire me?" types?

I understand that, after getting responses assuming I still did low level end user technical support work for example, I should have been more clear about my little back-story.

That's on me.
Maybe I am not coming across well. Even so, comments like these that are full of assumptions are making you come across just as badly.
We haven't found a solution as we have given ourselves requirements to store revisions of large binary files (PSDs), but we don't have the ability to effectively manage 8GB repos (and I don't know whether anyone does.)

It seems like ultimately, versioning software will need to grow to understand more file types than text in order to keep track of changes to many large files. I imagine Git plugins available by filetype and perhaps automatically sourced by Gitlab when needed, but I know that would be an enormous task.

Unrelated: can you possibly work with Atlassian to get Gitlab integration for SourceTree? It would be very convenient for us. :)
I believe fuel cells will work when they can use methane, butane or propane cheaply.

I already use an NGV(natural gas) car. Using fuel cells means you can get 60%-70% efficiency instead of 40% of thermal engines because you don't have Carnot't limit.

Also, with natural gas lots of people will be able to charge on their home. Lots of people have natural gas pipelines in their houses in Europe.

Today you can use this fuels only on fixed places, but over time we will be able to use it on cars.

But I don't believe this will happen soon. And when it happens it will probably use at least a small battery for getting the benefits of it:regenerative braking and instant responsiveness.
Having done direct technical support for many years in my early career, the first unofficial rule of customer support is that the conversation never gets escalated such that emotions are involved.

Most competent technical support services do this by never making the customer feel that they are less powerful than they are. Usually, this is done by never making the customer aware that they are less smart (even if they are).

For example, if the customer was 'This product is the worst bleep ever'. Even if it is, you acknowledge it. 'Yes, Mr./Ms. we understand that the problem is causing you <x>. We're going to give you a RMA #' (RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization). You de-escalate. You give them a solution.

Apple's One-to-One program is legendary for being more of a 'teaching' relationship than a 'support' relationship.

It is a little more difficult if the person is asking highly technical questions. In that case, you always acknowledge that you are aware they know what they are doing. And figure out what they don't know that is causing them problems with their current situation.

Twilio's developer support (and Amazon's) are notable for what they know and more for admitting what they might not know (e.g. 'We do not know about this particular configuration. However, we will make sure we connect you with an engineer who can help you/research the problem')

This whole customer support transcript devolved rather rapidly into an ego-driven, I know more than you do pissing contest. Both sides are to blame. Either side could have de-escalated.

What was accomplished? Not much. If I were the technical support rep, I would have sent the first reply and added a question about what exactly the customer was trying to accomplish. Not a straight-up factual-based no - but trying to understand what the real problem was.
GitLab CEO here, I think git tools will get better for non-programming use. GitHub is adding a lot of file formats (3D files, etc.) and people are creating book and law making tools with GitLab (see the section 'Build with GitLab' on https://about.gitlab.com/applications/ for examples). I do believe the interface needs to be simpler, but sites like PenFlip are already experimenting with an easy to understand interface.
On top of providing a MITM vector, they've managed to allow insecure ciphers and validate for bad certificates. Now that's pretty poor form for a "security" company.
>It would be interesting to see an analysis of the Toyota strategy from this point of view.

I feel the same. Of course I'm not an expert, but it seems like many of the issues he lists in the opening are things that can be overcome with improvements in technology (and could have been arguments against batteries or even gasoline at points in history).

Meanwhile, the engineers at Toyota are actually trying to make this work:

Don't picture a bunch of oil tycoons with monocles sitting in back rooms smoking cigars with Ford execs laughing about how they are going to crush Tesla.

It's much more subtle than that. I grew up around cars. My dad races them as his hobby. We restored a few, and spent plenty of time wrenching on a car together. It was one of the highlights of my childhood. It's still one of the things we often talk about when we see each other. I'm sure it's the reason I got a mechanical engineering degree.

When I think back to those times, a bunch of fragments of memories pop up. The sound a racing motor makes the first time you fire it up. The smell of gasoline vs diesel vs oil vs brake fluid vs transmission fluid. The grease on your hands. Knowing all the components under the hood, how they go together. How to start a cold engine with a flakey carb. How to fix a flooded engine.

There is real nostalgia around cars, and that means gasoline/diesel engines. I can barely enjoy modern cars with their plastic engine fairings and electronic controls, much less an electric car with just batteries and motors. I love building robots, and I'm a professional programmer now, but electric cars just don't excite me from the perspective of working on them. (Driving a Tesla is a different story).

Layer on top of that nostalgia, which I believe most of the people that work in the auto industry have, is the reality of 100+ years of IC engine expertise. If electric cars are the future, how much advantage does Ford have over a startup? Certainly some, but not nearly as much as they do in gasoline engines. Every bit of the drive train is completely different in an electric car. Not only are you throwing out the expertise in engines, but transmissions and differentials as well.

I can imagine that makes their position less defendable.

It doesn't go into how structures and ownership interact. It's possible to create a tree with all elements single-ownership. The relationship between structs, enums with data, recursive enums with data, and ownership isn't discussed. Yet this is fundamental to doing any complex data structure.
If the rentals number in the search results is correct, Boulder, CO has 1,864 listings on Airbnb. The population is somewhere around 104,000 people, with around 42,000 households.

That is insane.

Not sure how many hotel rooms there are, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's about 1/3rd the number of Airbnb listings.

Like anyone can be a lawyers or a programmer. There are good and bad ones, and a good teacher will require a lot of skills and 'logical' aptitude as well as empathy. AFAIK, you can't take a 4 week bootcamp and teach high-school math, but you can get a job at a startup after a rails bootcamp.

Can we stop with the 'we are so special/intelligent' arrogance?

>OneNote is free, cross platform ... //

Great, I thought and went right over to get it for my Kubuntu box. Oh right, not that sort of cross-platform.

But they offer a web version that tells me "Take your notes anywhere with OneNote" (except to a Linux desktop of course!). They're clearly big on this "anywhere" idea, something about accessing your notes from anywhere ... and then "The add-on works only in 32-bit Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (Mac).".

It's no different to other companies but these things do start to grate after a while - "access from most browsers" or "access from most OS" obviously isn't as good a marketing tag as "anywhere".

/rant

It seems I can use it from my 64bit browser on Kubuntu but then it operates like Evernote's web app does.

[This is just how it is from my angle, really just feeding back in case others on Linux would have looked it up. Dare-say you can get it to work with WINE?]

I thought the solution was to have an insulated tank and a refrigeration solution to keep the hydrogen liquid. Of course you will still have "leakage", as some of the hydrogen needs to be spent periodically to run the refrigeration, but this can be minimized with enough insulation.
Get back to me when a practical, affordable, and go over 300 mile on a charge, battery powered car is here. Currently batteries are not a practical replacement. Currently if you want to hit near 300, you don't quite get there, your in the eighty thousand plus range if that low after common options for your only real choice. Home charging is still a four hour plus affair with the best chargers.

Odd he claims that a hundred mile range isn't available using "safe tanks" when the Honda Clarity has been around six years and does twice that.

Manufacturers seem to be betting on fuel cells because they have many other uses other than cars. They also will have a weight advantage over battery powered cars
Isn't using any hydrocarbon going to give you the issue with pollution that gasoline does? You're not really solving any problems simply changing what hydrocarbon you choose to burn.
The picture of their race-car surprised me. The driver's seat is right next to, and seemingly unshielded from, a stack of 36 "very large ultracapacitors". Are these less likely to explode than other capacitors? Sure they might have electronics designed to keep them within safe operating margins, but for safety I'd trust distance and enclosure more than custom electronics.
Thanks, this is a great suggestion and one that I've put off for far too long. Giving back definitely does good things for everyone involved.
No, subways are very appropriate in certain situations. It wouldn't make sense to build an 8 lane highway to connect two towns in the backwoods of Alaska, but that doesn't mean 8 lane highways are a solution in search of a problem.
If you're storing git repos on Dropbox, that's a bad idea. The way Dropbox syncs and diff's files messes with the way git does it, and can result in corrupt history. There's plenty of anecdotes on the web about this.

I recently unearthed the code I wrote at school in 1996 which implemented a 3D Gouraud-shaded renderer that managed ~1000 triangles/sec on a 33MHz 486. It's a great learning experience doing this from scratch.

... What.

This just doesn't compute. In what mindframe does this ever make sense as a complaint? If you're creating new jobs, even if they're low wage, you're just giving people more choice - they can now work at one more place than before, no one's forced into that, it literally can't do harm. And direct transfer of wealth from the wealthy to the poor is a positive, right?

I'm so confused.

Have data for that startup CEO's? Because unless you are talking about a very narrow group of people, it hasn't been my experience at all (sure, if you ask 20-30 years old, they will say startup CEO, mostly because that is the only thing they believe they still can be, but ask 12-16 year olds and the results). Also, most people don't know what a startup CEO's really does and just expect a lot of money and ruling over the company while meeting clients at a golf course while most startup CEO's are partly broke and work 12 hours a day
