Sounds like you had a bad experience, but as others have said, the Ableton has changed substantially in the past 5 years. Ableton 9 came out in March of 2013, at which point the time limit issue would be resolved.

Regarding the interface being unintuitive, I think that could be true for those who are experienced in standard linear DAW workflows, and I could see how it could feel unintuitive for someone looking to record a Serato DJ session. It's got a lot of tools for music production, and you'd need to be in Arrangement view, not session view.

As a software developer and someone who likes to mess around in music production, the interface became incredibly intuitive once I did the (included) software tour and learned the difference between Arrangement View and Session View, and what could be accomplished in those.

In terms of music production (not DJing), the way instruments and effects are set up reminds me of objects, where you have data and methods. You create sound clips on instruments which are kind of like functions you can reuse. (Just a loose analogy)

If you build a bunch of clips on instruments in the Session view of these you can use them together to create a song that you improvise somewhat, within the sounds and drumbeats that you have pre-created. It's really fun if you play with it and get accustomed to how the software works!

There are graduate students doing the jobs of many industry professionals for $10-15 an hour. I think that says more about how poorly paid graduate students are than what the market rate for a data scientist should be.
In your analogy the fault entirely lies with Bob. Ann is expected to pay attention to the road - a pedestrian may step out suddenly; there might be debris in the road; and she's expected to pay attention to other drivers - someone might overtake and cut back in lane suddenly. Ann is not expected to monitor the actual drivers of other vehicles to see if they're eating or dancing or talking on their cellphone. Those other drivers are expected to not be so fucking stupid.

He is judging her on her appearance. That she is in a bathing suit means he is judging, essentially, her naked body. It is an insanely creepy thing for your boss to comment on and is sexual in nature.
The majority of the time, the results are only worth $10-$15 an hour. Like the article said, the folks that can really produce the good results are worth much more than that.
Yeah, not many people know about the CA store, and even if you do, and check it, there are so many pre-installed certificates that it's easy to miss a new one.

No one at the company had tried to use the network with a computer they bought for themselves?
Curious that you chose the cop analogy. Overzealous cops who go into any situation with the assumption that someone might be a perp (and especially certain races) are a problem in certain parts of the world. And they aren't looked at favourably. Or sympathetically.
There's a place in LA called Homeboy Industries with a similar model. This page might be of interest since it is less about the profitability from a business standpoint and more about the benefit to the individuals they hire: http://www.homeboyindustries.org/why-we-do-it/.

They aren't two different stories by the standards that normally apply on HN. They're about the same thing.

It's true that the SF Weekly article gave more background than the Google+ post, but it was linked in yesterday's thread and the information in it was discussed there.

Grad students are compensated in other ways: training, prestige, independence, etc. Almost everyone in a respectable CS PhD program could have gotten a $100k/yr tech job instead. The fact that they turned this down in favor of a $30k grad school stipend indicates that they value the intangible rewards of grad school at at least $70k/yr, i.e., way more than the monetary compensation. You certainly couldn't hire a grad student on the free market for $30k/yr without providing equivalent intangibles.
Wow, I just looked up that program. I was in my alma mater's online masters program for EE, but eventually had to cut my losses, because each class was ~$2100 total, so about 3x as much as the Georgia Tech program. I hope to see more like this in the future, maybe that would be the push I need to end up finishing that EE degree!

Ask HN: Dictionary based password generator source code – useful or useless?
I've written a Chrome App that generates 'random' phrases based on a hard-coded dictionary of several thousand words.

For example, it creates '312Hesitent-Boxes', '646Nifty.Brains!'.

These passwords are sufficient for many websites requirements, but more-over, they are easyier to spell and type.

The issue is, since a Chrome App is basically just a zipped up JavaScript/HTML folder, it's trivial to get the list of words and then generate every possible combination of numbers+punctuation+words - that's still a lot of words, but nothing that couldn't be generated into a table with that much effort.

Question is, does the ability to predict every password easily make such a tool useless? Or are we more common sense based and know that we could use these passwords on sites that lock/restrict accounts when they hit incorrect passwords, have two-factor, IP locks, non-predictable usernames etc...
Chrome is chromium.
Can anyone explain the actual use case for such a tool?
Not sure about that specific school, but when I was an undergrad in higher level classes, it wasn't uncommon to have the online masters students in the same section. Only difference was that oral reports from them would be recorded in advance.

Edit: I can't remember having to do a group project with an online student though. I think they may have been able to do a smaller project by themselves for the group assignments.
The country is in this situation partly because a lot of portuguese people are like this fellow user. Only complain about the negative stuff instead of focusing in the positive parts of Portugal.
Encouraging women to come forward and supporting them when they do is one thing. Arguing implicitly (not that you're doing this, but grandparents are) that women bear any responsibility for workplace harassment because they're not vocal enough is victim blaming.

It's also not strictly necessary for women to report harassment in order to fight against it. Men can create a culture where harassment is unacceptable. Instead of joking about how hot Sasha Grey is, or how you want to fork a repo with a big dongle, we can talk about how fucked up it is that women are constantly groped and belittled. We can look for patterns of violent, misogynistic behavior in our peers and call them out on it. If we ourselves see harassment or sexism happening, we can step in appropriately. We can take women seriously when they do report it (something like 1% of rape accusations are false, for example). Harassment occurs because men have the power in society, and it's therefore incumbent on us to use that power to stop it.

Many men are good at this, but many more deny that there's even a problem. This thread is great evidence. Take a look at which comments are grey and which ones are still black; it's pretty clear how SV thinks about these issues. If you need more proof, find an Ellen Pao thread, same story there.
You don't need money to change hands for a transaction to be taxable. The sort of barter-based system you describe would also (in theory) be taxed. The only difference is that tax enforcement would be much more difficult under your system.

That would work well for a while, but if your service got really big, and became a target for enforcement, you (or your users) might have serious tax problems.
Well, the given degree (I mean, the diploma) is identical. Take two students, an on campus one and an online one (hopefully the first will graduate around end of 2015 beginning of 2016) and compare them, (except the name of the student), it will be identical.

Regarding the degree program itself, the material and rigor (assignments, tests etc), is also identical. However the process it's obviously different. We use Piazza for collaboration, and for group projects google hangouts. I had a great project last semester with a team of people all around the US (the course staff puts people together by timezone and native language spoken to make it more feasible).
It worked great! Just like today's workplace is distributed, working with remote teams or working from home is no longer a niche, then why should education be any different?
If I had the time (and budget), I would prefer an on-campus program, mostly due to the social aspect, networking, and fun aspect of it. But I'm not in my 20s. I have kids and a day job, and what GT did was simply the only way I would go for a graduate degree. (I didn't need it per-se, I do it because it's fun and interesting and cost effective at their current price range. had it been higher, I don't think I would go for it)
It's notable, and obvious, that this guy has never actually tried to hire a developer. He has the luxury of thinking that these "secretly terrible" people are rare and misjudged. He's wrong, though.

(That's not to say that industry standard interviewing techniques are perfect -- they're definitely not, and they're often awful -- but "lots of professional programmers simply flat-out can't program" is a true fact, and a hiring process needs to deal with that reality.)

> Is it victim blaming to say someone was exercising poor risk management?

This is a delicate issue. The answer to your question has to be: No, not per se...

However there are some other things to keep in mind:

() If one suggests that the victim's poor risk management absolves the perpetrator of responsibility in the slightest degree, then one is definitely blaming the victim.

() Sometimes that subtext -- that the perpetrator is not fully responsible -- is present but not stated explicitly. So I think people are often right to be aware of the possibility that that's underneath what is being said.

() On the other hand, sometimes that subtext is absolutely not intended, but is heard anyway. A lot of people have trouble with the notion that two parties to an interaction are both 100% responsible for their own choices. And someone recently victimized may not be emotionally ready to look at how they allowed it to happen. So one must be careful here; but sometimes, if one wants to get the point across, it's necessary to emphasize that the perpetrator is still totally responsible for their own actions.

So in your example, if you were to suggest that Bob's fine should be reduced because Alice could have prevented the accident, that would be victim blaming. But if you're only saying that Alice could learn from this (to be more alert, to try to stay out of other people's blind spots, and to watch out for nearby drivers using cell phones) then that isn't victim blaming.

Why did you come back to Portugal?
Yeah.

My favorite method, really, on both ends of the fence? Just hire the person and start them working, for pay, with the understanding that this is still an evaluation type deal. If it doesn't work out? if I'm the one being evaluated, at least I got paid for the time. If I'm doing the evaluating, seeing some one actually work is a way better indicator of, well, how well they work than anything else.

The problem with this method is that it doesn't work if you are trying to hire someone that values stability away from a stable job. You are limited to people that are unemployed or that don't value stability.
I don't think anyone feels that card-counting is deeply immoral. It's more like, "we lose money when people do this, so we will do everything in our power to prevent it."
You appear to be thinking of the CPA requirement which is for accountants, not actuaries. I'm an actuary, and the education requirements are thin https://www.soa.org/Education/Exam-Req/edu-vee.aspx.

You could theoretically get certified with only high school and work experience, although I don't think any employers would hire someone without a bachelor's. The degree can really be in anything though as long as you've passed an exam or two, as this shows an employer that you're serious and have learned at least something.

I believe the system works in our case because there is an ecosystem of employers, employees, recruiters, and government agencies that all buy into the exam process. It's sort of a throwback guild system that's not very similar to IT certifications such as CCNA.
You aren't most people then. If most fathers were told to their face that their daughter's hymen was about to be shredded, I can assure you that person would be in danger of serious injury!
Remote Code Execution in Elasticsearch – CVE-2015-1427
Adria Richards really was harassed, by people that were extremely angered by something that should have been easily dismissed as a mistake. She got all sorts of nasty shit on twitter, threats, the whole works.

I don't think her initial reaction was a good one, but it certainly didn't justify all the stuff that followed. Her apparent pattern of reacting loudly to small offenses ( https://amandablumwords.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/3/ ) also isn't something to become angry and outraged over. I'm not sure how to handle that, but I'm sure it won't involve death threats.
'Radically Superior' could mean equal quality of education for:

1) Free (or nearly free)
2) Open to anyone
3) flexible to fit anyone's schedule
4) Easier to show the actual work completed (because there is a digital copy).

Generally, any student who needed special considerations for any of the above (a likely non-trivial amount of students), they had to compromise on the quality of education. For those students, I'd argue that it a significant improvement.

While you may intend a compliment on a woman's physical appearance as honest, in the same way you would compliment a man's tie or his shoes, the situations aren't the same. Men don't have centuries of history of being valued solely on their appearance. Men aren't harassed based upon their appearance. When men are raped, they aren't asked about their appearance, or if their appearance was provocative.

I don't mean to put too fine a point on it, but many women view comments on their appearance as demeaning and threatening, largely because of harassment they've experienced all their lives. Their experience is different than yours, and it's important to acknowledge this. Women aren't men, and treating them this way papers over centuries of oppression and misogyny. It's important to be sex and gender conscious, not sex and gender blind.

I think one of the problems with git command-line from an ease of use perspective, is that it emulates the underlying structure.

Therefore until one acquires an understanding of that, even simple things (that have easy plain english expressions) can be rather obscure.

You're right in one sense, a cop usually becomes a cop by choice and the cop ought to own his outlook. In Ms. Ellis's case however, her douchebag superiors made the decision for her. So what's your point other than (I'm guessing) to cast aspersions on her for speaking out?
Actually both the bug and the kernel dates back to 7 months old as mentioned in the OP so it would actually be much shorter than 7 months.

It also helps when a certification is testing to a relative specific and concrete set of knowledge. Some IT certs are certainly better than others and they probably speak more to some base level of knowledge as opposed to real competence. That said, it's easier to use a test (preferably with a hands-on component) to test for $TECH administration competence than it is to test for computer science competence in a broad sense.
I think this is in line with what someone once called "fetishizing complexity".

If I work on a project that is complex, I am a good engineer because I solve hard problems. If I work on a simple problem, I'm just another code monkey.

I think a good engineer can take a complex problem and frame it in a simple light. I think a less great engineer can take the same complex problem and come up with a complex solution. From many perspectives, the second engineer is the one innovating.

Note: I'm talking about complexity in a business sense. There are many problems that are mathematically difficult and don't fall under this umbrella.
React is more than a few lines of clever Javascript.

It's also a philosophy of UI composition.
It's also a philosophy of data consumption.
It's also a philosophy of code structure.

Having written my share of code with both, I now prefer composing UI's in React. It's easier to get simpler code maintenance and better performance with React.
Thanks for defending PyCon. That sounds reasonable.

It differs from python in that node is being used in this project, not python.

If the project used python it would be equally perverse.

As for why? Much of the functionality of this project is aliasing git commands to shorter names, which could be done easily as a git alias, or even a plain old shell alias or function.

Instead, node is invoked, which then uses the child_process module to... shell out to git. It's a pretty convoluted way of doing either `alias ggs='git status` or `git config --global alias.s status` .

Using node, or any other scripting language to transform `foo s` into `git status` seems a bit heavy to me, but then I'm not the target audience for this tool, so there is that.

Having said all that, gg does actually provide a bit more than simple aliases, it seems to do a decent job of prettifying the output from git commands and improving the user experience. I don't wish to discourage the author of this tool. I personally wouldn't use it, but they should feel proud of what they've made and continue hacking and making things.
Yes, it does. It records the original file name, not the name of the parts, and it needs the names+metadata of those parts (specifically in this case their order) to reconstruct the original file.
Not sure it's new feature or not. When you edit it in the new version, click "Show All Fields", and you will find phonetic fields.

My problem is that I added phonetic names on my Mac and synced to Google, but the fields are missing on the web. Nor could be synced to my iPhone. Wired thing is that my old phonetic data is synced. I suppose that they have some compatibility bug.
As an industry, we do a poor job of distinguishing the good engineer coming up with an elegant solution and the lesser engineer coming up with the complex solution to the same problem.
Victim blaming is a legitimate complaint when discussion of the victim's choices distracts from the way they have been victimized. E.g., "Well, what the hell was she doing in a dark alley at 3 a.m., anyway?" You have to judge whether something amounts to victim blaming by its impact on the discourse.
Can you please link to the top jmonkey games?
Well, it's a bit more subtle than that. Because it were the Chromimum developers which created the feature in the first place.

seccomp was introduced in the Linux kernel because the Chromium developers wanted a good way to reduce the harm Chromium browser processes could do if they got compromised.

Chromium is pretty much the only user of seccomp right now.

(although for example Docker also has support for it, but I don't think it's widely used)

Now Kees Cook who implemented TSYNC for seccomp in the Linux kernel works for Google. The kernel commit even lists his @chromium.org email address.
> Lawyers and doctors are asked trivial questions just a handful of times in their careers during their bar examinations and boards.

I get the very real sense that this person has never sat a law exam.

A law exam is based on applying case law to a set of facts, which corresponds to the day-to-day work of millions of lawyers. What the author calls "trivia" is literally the law.
My wife was unhappy in London. Family happiness above money. I don't regret the decision. I do regret the sad situation in the country though.
Many people probably will think "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it". It also sounds like you might need to have time-intensive negotiations, which turns away people who want to get the product quickly.

If you have good reasons why prices are different for different people explaining that is ok, but if most people get the same plans anyways it is unnecessarily complicated.
He also make the assumption that secretly terrible people don't exist in other fields. In my experience there is a small set of people in every discipline that are just leeches who contribute almost nothing but somehow stay employed. There are plenty of crappy lawyers still practicing, for example.

I see little value value in being purposefully hostile, but I also see little value in this hand-holding, spoon-feed me approach he seems to want. We should encourage people and mentor junior team members, but I am not interested in extending "love" to some person I just met.
If the job is just to sort some data and make some visualisations of said data, $30/hour (or about 60K/year) seems about right.
