> Helping others is never a waste of time, but telling people thy are too stupid to ask for help correctly is cruel.

Asking others politely to help you help them is not cruel in any way. If you allow a community to become a place where people can ask questions without putting any effort at all in themselves, you end up with all the people who can actually help leaving, and your community being full of people who will only ever put in the bare minimum of effort.

I'm a big fan for Vox's daily news summary. They have a great way of giving relevant information in a compact format. What's nice is that they don't just post to their own site, they curate from others as well.
The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Full time, H1B for the right candidate) - http://climate.com/careers

====== What we do =========

Our mission is to build great software for farmers.

We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, satellite imagery, and weather simulation to provide data and insights to those farmers.

===== Who we’re looking for =====

Specifically we are looking for two full time positions which I'll describe here, though there are roles open across the board which you can check out using the link at the bottom.

Engineer on the Geospatial team

You will be building out our large scale imagery infrastructure.

==================================

Engineer on the Climatology team

You will work with best-in-their-class climate scientists to implement and productionize their weather models.

====== Why I love it ======

– I think Climate is poised to make a huge impact on farming.
– I am surrounded by a group of super smart people that care about the work we are doing.
– I get to write Clojure for my full time work!

I am really excited about the work we've been doing, I am happy to talk in length about it over email at skhalsa@climate.com.

If you are interested, please email me directly at skhalsa@climate.com.
Marketing is mostly in San Francisco, but I think if you are a US citizen or have a visa we'll be willing to help relocate you.
I'm getting an ssl error on you site from my iPad.
This is something I thought about it for a long time, too. I've been following this for years and was always suspicious about all the "free" services and what their motivation is behind it all.

Here is a list of apps/extensions I use:

- Firefox with disconnect.me, HTTPS everywhere, Adblock.

- Never EVER use Google for search. Always use DuckDuckGo.

- Deleted my Facebook account.
- Never ever use Skype (I refuse anyone who wants to use skype) There are other alternatives.

- Whenever possible I use a VPN (mine it privateinternetaccess)

- Never use any storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive, GDrive, etc.

Now that being said, I struggle with some "habits" and alternatives. These are:

- Google Apps, especially email. There is a reason why it works and so many people use it. I've tried Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Airmail, Outlook, etc. But somehow always go back to gmail :-(

On another note, I wonder what people use for an operating system?!?

I myself use MacOS X. I run many servers, all of them are Ubuntu Servers. I love Linux. However for a desktop app, I need to be productive and fast. Every time I want to switch to Linux I find some app that is not working and I need to use a VM for that.

Is it even worth considering a switch of operating systems? Too paranoid?

Ask HN: Who is Hiring?

No.
Nice DH1 you've got there.

Governments are not evil machines. They're machines staffed by people and people do what people often do: follow the laws blindly because "it's their duty", exploit the existing laws to their advantage "because it's legal", and craft new laws to monkey-patch the flaws in older laws "because it's their job." When two opposing groups of people disagree with each other, they resort to theatrics and name-calling and the machine kind of idles in its current state. The machinery isn't evil and the people aren't evil. This is just how the machine works. If the people operating the machine decide it needs more of a resource, they'll try to get it by any any available means to keep the machine running. Their job, and belief in the machine depend on it. Whether or not the machine gives the world "a better place" is a coincidental side-effect of the machine that happens often, but not always.

Adopting a crypto-currency would give this machine less control over resources because it would either have too much transparency (no black budgets or quid-pro-quos) or perfect opacity (no ability to seize funds from victims or punish criminals financially).

Elections do not change the machine except in the sense of an oil-change--to optimize its continuous operation. The machine is never replaced. And people who do not believe in the machine are always attacked by the operators with a vested interest in the machine... a certain kind of broken individual.
It's the Plan 9 C compiler _for_ x86.
I have one (probably quite naive) implementation here:

https://github.com/djc/runa/blob/master/runac/parser.py#L54

(Runa uses tabs for indentation, not spaces, but it's basically the same thing.) Whitespace at the start of a line is a separate token, then I add a thin layer of processing that turns a change of indentation level (i.e. count chars in the token contents) into INDENT or DEDENT tokens.

That's interesting. I've thought of a similar project (except with submitting articles written by readers). I have thought a great deal about how to maintain content diversity while making use of the collective effort of people to pick content.

How (if at all) do you ensure that your platform won't become a hostile, self-preserving, lowest common denominator mind/meat ball? (E.g. like HN.)

From my experience controversial views require a strong form of protection from the violent inertia of the masses, because otherwise sharing individual ideas becomes numbingly difficult.

On the other hand, a single party can not be allowed to force their minority view onto the the common mass. E.g. discourage brute forcing a view.

I have witnessed various forms of view-exchange-models:

* "mostly unguided": The 4chan/b model. Pros include shelter from censorship and diverse views, cons are brute forcing views onto the forum is easy.

* "strictly moderated": E.g. wikipedia or stackoverflow. Won't talk much about these, in case of wikipedia it makes sense, but generally for a discussion platform this is the worst case as it defeats the whole purpose.

* "naive (or incompetent) governing": E.g. HN, turn view visibility into popularity contest for instance. Many ways of getting it wrong, each with different motivations and results but generally: Turns community against itself, creates a hostile and violent environment, monoculture, perpetual dishonesty. This is another really bad approach. I believe it was popularized because it seems to work as long as only your best friends use the platform. Ergo the "community degraded" excuse.

* "sensible governing": ???. Find good ways to compile a fairly selected subset of a possibly large amount of views to be able to be consumed by a single person.

I had one idea that I quite liked: Have a pool of volunteering peers for review. Randomly divide incoming submissions among pool for review. E.g. send a submission to a random subset of reviewers. I think the smaller the subset the better. E.g. if you have 128 peers, send it to three random peers. If any one of those peers "likes" the submission, include it in the "newspaper". Possibly send it to more people for review to establish prominence in the newspaper.

Ideals I wanted to implement: Minority views shouldn't have to compete with a horde of people who like cat pictures. It should be difficult to game the system. The process should be transparent, it is good to know that "everybody found X important and somebody found Y important".

One final note:

> "Introducing the Internet's missing newsroom"

This discourages me a ton. Please don't over impose yourself a the missing link or your only savior. The most you can hope for is to be a viable addition to my sources. If you don't realize that then you are incompetent to be a viable source.

> "But there's an important part of their college applications that they can't improve as easily as an SAT score: their ethnicity."

As an asian american myself this is offensive. Why would I want to IMPROVE my ethnicity? Furthermore I personally believe a 'holistic' application review process is fair, if diversity in the workplace is valued shouldn't diversity in universities be similarly valued? Yes I know this undoubtedly hurt Asian American applicants but they will no doubt adapt and this community is the furthest from believing that a 2400 on the SAT or 5.0 GPA is indicative of success

There's not going to be any significant (like, existentially damaging) legal or financial punishment. But a big enough drop in sales, even short term, might be the "whiff of grapeshot" that could discourage them and others from breaking security out of the box for a few dollars.

20+ sigma is mostly kidding yourself about assumptions.

That said, the 2-sigma tests are for client-facing algos, where the goal isn't to build wealth for the client, it's to generate fees.
Which start-up would you rather work at?

The one which hires the best developers they can find without any regard to race or gender?

Or the one that turns away good developers because they have diversity quotas in hiring?
This is what I get:

For anyone who hasn't tried this game, it's pretty awesome! I was one of the top players on one of the level back then (http://www.twitch.tv/david_u/c/1985844).

Also I'm impressed, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyVcokAUj3E at 0:14 you can see that the screen is suddenly rotating. This is a super hard moment to pass and I can see that as a very disturbing thing for a bot as well.

I too went to a selective admission high school that was mostly asian, in Australia, which never had AA to get rid of in the first place. We ate a lot of vietnamese food, learnt how to to say Nguyen properly, played Big 2, laughed at FOB Asian parent's pressure and a had a good time. By the second generation people are assimilated but still have their own culture and we were united far more often than divided.
I imagine there might be a scenario where you'd want to try this for a progress bar or some other kind of status indicator.

That used to be what the status bar was for, until scripts started modifying it to hide link destinations (onclick= etc.) so that ability was disabled for "security reasons". Now the status bar is gone completely from most browsers by default, but onclick= can still be used to obfuscate link destinations.

Also, status bar scrollers were rather common on the "old web"; they won't be missed, and I hope address bar scrollers don't start being the next "cool thing". It's a fun demo-effect, just not something I'd like to see all the time.

There are plenty of non-white people in github.

I'd like to see how you analyzed the race of github contributors. I'd also like to know what "plenty" means. Personally, I strongly suspect that you'll see fairly small set of race/location/income combinations.

All "colours" of people have free time to create projects.

Given that we're not really talking about color, per se, I seriously hope that you don't honestly believe that statement.
> it is by definition not illegible

illegible, adjective: not clear enough to read.

Says nothing about "others being able to read". A doctor's handwriting can be illegible to everyone but the doctor, and not be a contradiction to the definition of illegible.

> Helping others is never a waste of time

If someone cares so little as to paste unformatted code on a forum which provides simple tools to display formatted code, how much value can you really put in their ability to provide quality code? How is requiring someone else decipher something you didn't care enough to post correctly not ultimately a waste of everyone's time?

Did you find anything that hasn't mention on this thread?
This is an interesting design decision:

> No memory management is a memory management scheme in 8cc. Memory regions allocated using malloc are never freed until the process terminates. That has greatly simplified the code and the APIs because 1) you can write code as if garbage collector were present, and 2) that design decision has eliminated use-after-free bugs entirely.
First of all, there's no such thing as the 'Warmist' community. If you start by looking for views you disagree with, confirmation bias will produce a view of the community that corresponds to your pre-conceived notions. In reality, many activists understand that nuclear baseload is a huge piece of any decarbonization strategy.

As to the methane issue, there are a number of scientists who think about it quite a bit -- and probably don't sleep much as a result. The problem is that two decades of intense lobbying and industry pressure have taught mainstream scientists to be incredibly conservative about their predictions. If the IPCC started including methane releases in their predictions, they'd be quickly torn to pieces for promoting speculative theories.

As for the nuclear stuff: if you're just looking for an excuse to not to care about climate change -- then go ahead and don't care about it! You're well aware that the main policy proposal on the table is a carbon tax of some sort and that such a policy would benefit both renewables and nuclear -- basically any technology that doesn't use the atmosphere as a waste dump.
This is actually fairly hilarious.
