Ever heard of 'fast-paced' work environment. Sadly I run a tiny small company, where we make it loud and clear. That it's fast-paced work environment, full of stress, haste and everything in between.

Even for me as an owner, this has deteriorated my life. I run an international shipping company. And every shipment is time-definite, not because they are, because customers make it so.

Such kind of job, is not for everyone, therefore we make it loud and clear, we have a lot of fun too, to compensate for it and I make it clear to my guys.

Anyhow, we do not have a culture of 'disrespect' but in a fast-paced environment, moods swings are pretty common.

Again it's not for everyone. Ask me frankly, 911 or Police are less stressful than we are. as you laid out., as If police job is more stressful.
Ask HN: Which programming language and Web Framework to learn SaaS development?
I'm teaching an undergratuate course on SaaS (Software as a Service).
My students have to develop a small project and they have to choose among the following options: Ruby + RoR, PHP + Laravel, Java + Spring, and Java/Groovy + GRAILS.
What do you think?
Thanks very much. Seriously - take this explanation and forward it to every high school physics instructor everywhere. Countless generations will sing your praise.

PS: Apparently they aren't called tilt-a-whirls, but RoundUps. And they are a lot of fun.

I completely agree. Nevertheless I switched to Photos a few days ago for the following reasons:

- The integration across devices is perfect (All metadata editing/sorting is synched on all devices while the Only files only reside on my Mac and on the cloud)

- All Photos are still backupped offline with my Mac and from what I see a simple symlink of the Masters folder is enough to back them up to a third party backup service. (w/o metadata but for me this is good enough worst-case protection)

I still miss a few features, but I hope an eventual release of Photos Framework for OSX will be able to add them through a 3rd Party tool:

- Metadata export for a 3rd Party Backup

- Better automation to find duplicates/corrupted images etc. (i have a super messy library of about 20'000 pictures which i cant clean up manually at this point)

- Better metadata editing, especially for geo-tagging (I have a lot of non-smartphone pictures)

I'm wondering what accuracy one can achieve with structure from motion and flickr as it was done in this project: http://grail.cs.washington.edu/rome/
First off, thank you for the advice, it's really appreciated!
Things that are going to be added over the coming days:
* Composer support
* Less static or hardcoded API
* More configurable options
* A else clause for foreach loops
* HTML encoding which is enforced and must be opted out of per echo for increased security
Maybe a different file extension, we'll see

With regards to how it compares to twig, the aim is to take a lot of functionality that twig offers and build on that. I feel like twig hasn't gone far enough with it's attempts to build a templating engine.

Don't worry I took it as constructive criticism from the start, this is why I posted the project here in the first place so thank you!

Well written compendium of common design patterns.

I love Backbone for its simplicity but I think most problems come from the use of the views' render function, which encourages the habit to have a _centralized_ way to refresh theirs content.

This is, again, a simple way to think about the process, but often it is not the most performant (and this is what has driven to the clever virtual DOM diff-ing of the recent frameworks).

I normally use what I call 'micro-rendering' functions, a way to change the appearance of a view focusing on the change of single state properties.
Bingo. The people most likely to pay are by far also the most valuable user segment to advertisers. Sooner or later some ads will find their way back in.
The cheapest way is possibly to take a lot of photos and create a 3D model using this program: http://ccwu.me/vsfm/

It requires a lot of RAM though (on the order of 16 GB for most scenes).
Thing is though, making one minute of lets-play costs a lot less (time / money) than making one minute physics or crash course or you name it.

Also, I probably watch hundreds of hours of youtube every month so the amount that ends up at each channel will be extremely small 5.50 / monthlyHours * oursPerChannel isn't going to be very much in the end.

The biggest winners are going to be MCNs (Multi Channel Networks, which most Let's Plays are part of) which take another 20-30% of the revenue generated by each of their partnering channels.

If you want to support single channels, something like Patreon is still going to reign superior in terms of actual money received at the other end.
Something as simple as "+" is already [a] a -> a -> a. Where did "a" come from? Whereas in e.g. Scala, "5 + 6" is just calling the "+" method on 5 (I can see it right there, on Int: "def +(x: Int): Int").

I also find OO polymorphism a bit more discoverable than typeclass-based polymorphism. You can look at an OO object in the REPL and see what methods it has on it, in a way that's harder to do in Haskell.

You pay the price eventually of course - in Scala you end up needing more machinery to be able to treat "+" as a two-argument function, and you need typeclasses for certain problems so you end up having two different forms of polymorphism. But the tradeoff is that you can learn the less general version first and get started quicker, even if you end up having to learn more overall.

I wonder, how long after repeal of Prohibition in the United States did it take before everyone agreed it was a bad idea?

Very informative, thanks. I avoid 192kHz and record everything at 24bit 48kHz when I'm recording (I would like some hard disk space left, particularly if you're recording 24 tracks at once); 96kHz is only really useful in live applications as you obviously get half the latency which is important if you're flinging audio from one side of the arena to the other.

But with regard to the content within the audio file, uncompressed is obviously superior to compressed. It is particularly apparent on decent speakers, not earbuds.
I suppose wanting to hide perceived 'shoddy' workmanship is a reason.

> I think my OSX machine is more than capable of serving my own personal cloud to me

Yep it sure is. That's why there are many software options available for exactly this purpose. It's your responsibility to use them if that's what you prefer.
You are right - my comment was too generalised with regard to cloud providers. If you do not have a SLA with them, then I suppose it's risky trusting your data to them. With everyone and their dog offering "cloud storage" to shove your data, I do wonder if more and more data will get shoved up into "The Cloud" either to be irretrievable (or forgotten about?)

The three most annoying misuses in English
With distributed version control systems such as Git or Mercurial, when you clone a repository you get the entire history of that repository (or of a selected branch). This means that if you place large media files directly in the repository, then every clone will contain each and every revision of that file. In time, this will cause an enormous amount of bloat in your repository and slow work on the repository down to a crawl. Cloning a repository several dozens of gigabytes in size is no fun, I can tell you.

Centralized version control systems such as Subversion don't have this problem (or at least, to a lesser extent), because as a user you only download a single revision of each file when you check out the repository.

Extensions like git-media, git-fat and now git-lfs solve this issue by only storing references to large media files inside the Git repository, while storing the actual files elsewhere. With this, you will only download the revision of the large file that you actually need, when you need it. It's sort of a hybrid solution in-between centralized and decentralized version control.
I guess I'm just not sure that 3-5 hours of work a week (that's assuming that's the minimum required; I don't know if that is true or not) is all that much effort.

Eating fully nutritious food should just be a given.
I don't know about "web" scale, but it will definitely scale horizontally without using any external tools/extensions.

There's still a somewhat annoying limitation that is related to the status of table partitioning in postgresql.

In fact the planner automatically choose the right child table, be it on the same db or into another server, for UPDATE and SELECT statements but not for INSERTs. This is a known limitation and there's active work to fix it but don't hold your breath though.
Oddly though, YouTube has been at the point of monopoly for a long time yet are slow with their subscription model. They appear to be far more interested in redesigning their site and applications every 5 minutes.

I followed this

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/import-iphoto.html

Basically - you have to go into iPhoto, find a bunch of hidden folders that contain the original photos and then copy them out & let lightroom import / organize them according to any rules you set.

Pretty simple - longest part was copying all the files since I had a decent number (200GB) of photos.
I don't really care about the playlist of cat videos - assuming youtube divides based on the individuals time spent there and not globally - they aren't getting much from me. I do care about lets play/minute physics because that is what I watch.

And I actually like to incentive short videos because that way I get the info I want faster.
Ask HN: Any luck with Stackoverflow careers (employer side)?
I've published an ad for a developer position on stackoverflow careers, but the response has been a bit underwhelming so far... We are offering competitive salary and we do not deviate much from mainstream technologies, so I was definitely expecting more and better candidates. I'm now thinking about shutting down the ad and go for a more traditional route (monster, indeed, ...), which is a pity because I liked the idea of finding quality developers through the SO platform.

Did some of you ever try to advertise a position through SO careers? And how was your experience?
Does it, really? I think it depends, for me personally I'm not so sure it does. So first they're 16:10 displays, meaning 1920x1200 not 1080, I should have said WUXGA instead of Full HD, sorry.

My rMBP is my main driver, I love it. And its PPI is 227, nice and sharp. Similar to the new Macbook (226). While a 1920x1200 MBA display would be 170 PPI. Big difference?

So the generally considered quite beautiful iMac sits at 109 PPI. Even the 5k iMac is only 218.

It's true, it's not quite a 12" Retina at 226 PPI. But if you asked me if I'd rather have a 13.3" screen with 170 PPI, or a 12" screen with 200+ PPI, I'd go with the former. For me, anything above 100 is good enough for computing, anything above 150 is starting to get really nice, and 200+ is an unnecessary bonus that I can still discern, but not get really excited about. 170 PPI would have been plenty for me.

So I agree it's better, but significantly better? While researching for a new buy I took 3 friends to the Apple store while we were in the neighbourhood, and none of them could easily discern the iMac from the riMac at first glance. After I told them and let them do side by sides, they sorta saw. Which really surprised me, I could definitely notice, but for me too both displays were awesome. There are some real diminishing returns to ever increasing sharpness.

You remember the Dell Ultrasharp U3011, a 30" monitor a few years old. It had 84 PPI, and this is still a nice display. Double that and you get 168 PPI, ought to be plenty, right? Double the pixel density of a few years old 'ultrasharp' by Dell. Still, it's less than the proposed 170 PPI on a Macbook Air. One may wonder if a PPI of 1 million would be 'significantly better', because at laptop distances of say 18" or so, eyes start to stop being able to discern pixels at 165 PPI or so, all the way up to the 260ish PPI range where virtually all eyes even with perfect vision lose the ability to discern pixels at laptop ranges.

At the end of the day, few people are going to be doing high-res photoshopping or video editing on their 12" Macbook with Intel M Core, where 200+ PPI is useful. At 170 PPI, I think it's generally sharp enough for text & video.

At the end of the day it's subjective, 226 vs 170 PPI may well be a significant difference for you. Not for me. And if I could have more performance, more battery, 1.3" more screen, more ports etc, I'd prefer the latter.

I would add Python + DJango.

Also have them choose among MariaDB or PostgreSQL.

Really the best choice has quite a lot to do with your personal style. For example I think Objective-C is OK, but I far prefer C++ and would not touch Swift with a hot rock.

However I am completely cool with someone else writing Swift code provided I never have to look at it myself. I know very well that Apple created Swift for the specific reason that Mac programmers tend to be quite clueless about memory management. That trait goes all the way back to the 1984 Superbowl Mac.

Despite the Mac memory manager and all of the System and Toolbox APIs being lucidly documented, the very reason that we have Mac OS X at all is that Mac developers so very commonly crashed the entire system when they would do something that Inside Macintosh Volume 1 said you should never do.

While today we won't crash the entire system, just have a look at the App Store. Pick a few Apps completely at random, then sort the user reviews by Most Negative First. Overwhelmingly, the users say the apps are complete crap.

What this has to do with SaaS?

Were I to write such code, I'd use C++ but I know very well that most would choose not to, and very many it would be really bad if they did.

As a consultant, I spend a lot of time looking for gigs. I learned PHP and MySQL a while back, I can do OK with it. But even so, when I find a contract on craiglist for PHP work, I don't even apply for it. PHP isn't my cup of tea.

I know very well that Facebook is written in PHP. More power to them - I respect their work, but I personally wouldn't want to work there.

On the other hand whenever I find C++ work I'm on it like a pit bull on a pork roast.

Among the more typical web programming languages, Python and PostgreSQL are more my style then Ruby, PHP or Java.
Judging from the many tabs I have open, it seems that you don't need an exploit to eat resources in Chrome! That thing eats my battery and loves CPU feasts without any prompting.

camlistore (http://camlistore.org/) is a good contender:

- It's an open source software, created and personally (as in, it's not part of the job) maintained by one of the go maintainers at Google

- It's designed to be a personal storage for everything, but there already is a good focus on photos. Check out the demo in the video

- It has a multitude of remote storage already:

- s3

- google cloud storage

- google drive

- any mongoDB you can point to

- It has encryption and synchronization of data and metadata built-in

- The storage format is utterly simple

- Unfortunately its installation is still quite spartan, being CLI and all.

I'm following it closely to see where it goes, because it could very well be a final solution for all content management woes.
As someone working on a Ruby AOT compiler (whether it'll ever be finished is another matter...), I'd love to get some spec'ed out extensions for things like this with semantics that explicitly allows implementations to recognise the extension and decide to ignore the default implementation and instead provide it's own version that could e.g. do compile time checks instead of runtime checks, or hoist checks, whenever possible. Or use it for optimisations (e.g. by hoisting out and eliminating other checks and caching method lookups)

Ruby is flexible enough to allow quite a bit of experimentation with stuff like that. Especially because classes can be re-opened, so if worried about performance, it'd be easy enough to allow type annotations (or whatever other extensions people come up with) to live in separate files if people want them to, and conditionally include them only as needed/wanted.
You have following choices covered:

1) a dynamic language

2) a horrible language

3) an OOP language that is due an update

4) another dynamic language

I suggest adding following options:

1) an up-to-date OOP language:

C# + (WebAPI + Angular/React)/(MVC)

2) a functional language

F# + same as above

3) another functional language

Scala + Play

People need to know that results-focused thinking is important in the first place.

Maybe you are overestimating how many people make this effort. For the most part, when you say "solved" most people will take that to mean "my side won" and when your side is for the criminalization of drugs a priori then if screeching and shouting and thinking about kids are what is necessary to get the job done, then that's what will happen. Most people don't do this on purpose, rather the thought never occurs to them to examine why they support a thing, i.e. what their goals are, and whether the measures they endorse to further these alleged goals actually do anything to accomplish them.

Why do people support criminalization of drugs? Do they just think that drugs are really bad and that people shouldn't use them no matter what? Putting aside for a moment whether this belief is justified, does the current regime even manage to reduce drug use? Maybe they just think that drug users are bad people and need to be punished, but I wonder what such people think of enriching drug cartels, which the policies they support tend to do. Then there is the harm reduction cohort, which is the one that I think has finally come around to the fact that criminalization isn't accomplishing that goal, and is why we are starting to see legalization after the destruction of millions of lives.

Huh? The dollar would still be worth 100 pennies, it's just that you could also use micropennies (worth 10^-6 pennies) to pay for stuff. The ratio doesn't change, the total amount of dollars / pennies / micropennies doesn't change; micropennies are a convenience that allows us to write "5 up" instead of "0.000005 p".
Today, 82 years after the repeal, there are ca. 'dry' counties in the US. In some cases I can understand the intention (a remote village in Alaska for instance, where the villagers would drink themselves to death because there's nothing else to do). In most cases however it's just shortsighted backwardness. Studies have shown that dry counties have a significantly higher rate of alcohol related traffic deaths than wet counties. The most likely explanation is not that people in dry counties drink more, but that they have to travel a larger distance for their alcohol, thus increasing the chance of a DUI accident.

You want to develop a body cam for law enforcement? I don't think current systems or costs are holding them back at the moment. Instead, most law enforcement agencies simply don't want them. Even if they were mandatory, they would likely be disabled, or accidentally broken or obscured during key events.

If you want to see officers wearing body cams one day, you're better off getting involved in politics.

Yes, this is the only real argument against deflation: people tend to look at the nominal prices instead of the real ones. (See also Mark Twain on the subject in the Yankee at King Arthur's Court.) This is a problem because, as the money increases in value, business would want to decrease the nominal salaries, and people would object to that.
