Speaking solely to the process of discovery of private communication: What happens when you lose trust in that process or feel that process has been subverted?
Thanks for sharing this. Every single day I convince myself that I am not wasting my time by going on HN and posts like these are the reason I find something useful and meaningful. This is something I can share with my 9 year old son who is showing keen interest in Maths. Though the stuff presented here is still pretty advanced for him to grasp, but sharing this will help him immensely to keep pursuing his mathematical interest.

Batman Graph rocks !!
My favorite BBG anecdote was when I was on the hiring side. I rated a candidate "hire at top priority" but he was rejected by another manager.

When I asked why, the manager told me it was because the candidate wrote "xml" on his resume and not "XML" and that any knowledgable programmer would know to capitalize it correctly so he clearly didn't know his stuff.

</seriously>
You know what else is offensive? The disgusting perversion of the justice system called out in the article. It's not a "hit piece" if it's completely true.
Do you use an extension or something with HN? I think I had such a description from an extension I used, and the description persisted after HN decided to stop showing average karma.
I'm sorry, but what does her being female have to do with this? The company clearly has a dress code, she did not meet it during the interview.
However as it turns out that first design was also the last design; SeaMicro did not release any additional products prior to today’s announcement from AMD.

So, did the SM15000 not sell? Or was it internal issues that prevented a follow-on product?
Because there are army recruiters in american high schools...

This for me was an unbelievable experience as a German, where if the army would be involved with any kind of school it would be a major scandal. But while in high school in america it was normal to be propagandaed on during your lunch hour.
I'd say this article is mostly spot on... the assertion that this is male biological urge is probably true. I believe at its core it is a desire to identify oneself as a member of a group of "manly" males and to prove one's worth and garner the respect of the already prestigious members of that group.

This actually plays out in a lot of areas... fraternities, urban gangs, Github, etc. The dynamic of dividing humanity into "insiders" and "outsiders" follows closely as well. That dynamic is used to dehumanize all "outsiders" so that the goals of the group can be placed above morality and ethics.

I believe these things are true because I'm a slow learner and have been suckered into this dynamic more than once... I tried a college fraternity for a short while (after being accepted, rejected it and dropped out of college), fell in with the wrong crowd and did drugs until my eyes rolled so far back into my head that I swear I was able to see my brain (stopped altogether after somewhat harrowing experiences) and joined the US Army to shoot artillery after 9/11 (went to Afghanistan and after I got back became a conscientious objector before being put out administratively with an "honorable" discharge).

In the US, mass media is the fertilizer for mass murder... we teach young men that their number 1 goal is to be manly... and that women are just holes to fuck... and that you need to fuck as many holes as possible to be manly... and that explosions are cool... and that you need to create and survive explosions to be manly... and that streetfighting is cool... and that you need to be in a bunch of streetfights to be manly... I could keep going but I think you all get the point.

If the culture changes men will stop going to war unless they are forced to... while the biological urges described above can be exploited to manipulate peoples' actions, those urges could be channeled to positive actions instead, and they are certainly not a free pass to commit the atrocities that most people just pretend don't exist. This is the area where I disagree with the author if the article... it actually does start and stop with those who pull the trigger

Do you remember any questions? I'm going to be applying there soon and I'd like to know.
This is like some kind of Clickhole parody that mashes up MRA literature with How Millennials are Destroying the World(TM). There's no discussion to be had because the author's engaged in a dialog in his head about what the counter argument is and decided to format his thoughts in regards to that. Pepper a little Orwell here and some allegory there and you've got an article that shows exactly what's wrong with this argument - a refusal to listen to reason and instead substitute your own perception of how the world works.
Hi Andrew!

What I remember from my time there (2003-2007) was how quickly everyone was able to ship code despite (or perhaps because of) no global style guide, unit test mandates, or even rules about copy-pasting code. Each team was able to do things the way they thought best, thanks to an incredibly resilient, flexible production infrastructure that could tolerate, isolate, route around, and quickly repair any newly-introduced bug.

The code path (Bloomberg four-letter function, to those familiar with the service) running through the bug could nearly instantly, and if I'm not mistaken, in a totally automated way, be flipped over to a hot backup instance running the previous week's code, and a patch or rollback could be released to the live code almost as soon as it was written.

Most tech companies see the problems caused by coding too fast and respond by doing things to slow people down. Bloomberg cured the ills of excess programming velocity by turning the speed up even further. Like Facebook's "Move fast and break things", but with an extra, "...and then move even faster to fix them", and in a way that (mostly) insulated customers from being exposed to the breakage.

The fact that it's front-page news when there's a hiccup shows that it's a man-bites-dog event. You'd be in trouble if it wasn't major news when there was a service incident.
I'm really looking forward to all the white men on HN ranting about how women and minorities oppress them in America. This will be a great set of insightful comments!
There seems to be a booming market for Slack integrations lately. This is great because Slack just = text, and so building prototypes can be fairly easy. Our product (http://focusr.co) actually started purely as a Slack integration, and evolved into something else.

Every time I try to argue for intellectual honesty, I get labeled “part of the problem”. Every time I try to encourage people to listen to others and treat them equally because it’s a good thing to do and not because they identify as a feminist, I am met with hostility. If I make friends with someone of a different background than me and then mention them at all in a discussion about equality, I am accused of tokenism, because I’m cis-het white male scum (hey, thanks for asking, but I’m not all those). I am tired of this abusive rhetoric. I want real feminism, real equality, whatever label you want to use, and it starts with treating people with respect and conducting honest dialogue.
The change in leadership explains the change in response. Obama does not believe the US should have the same role in the world the Bush did.
"If I had been a man would it have mattered what I was wearing?"

Pretty obviously yes. One may think it's stupid but this company has a dress code and wants its employees to look put together period.

Also, based on her post I would say the company was pretty good at reading her personality. I have rarely seen someone who is yet to graduate but already has such deep feeling of entitlement. I guess her parents have told her her whole life how special and amazing she was, and she could do anything without trying. Welcome to the real world.
Know what else is offensive? The disgusting perversion of the justice system supported by people who don't know the difference between bullies and victims. Feminism didn't break the system.

I'm both sorry and baffled you found my response rude. As for your question, I'm afraid I don't understand it whatsoever. What am I supposed to be choosing? What does your case have to do with the comment I was replying to?
The decision that Samsung took is interesting because they used to actually market the removable battery as a feature. The Galaxy series was one of the few high-end smartphones that had this.

It makes me wonder how much of the "we do this because it's what our users want" is what users genuinely want, and how much of it is actually the company using marketing to tell users what they want.
Coming to terms with the inevitable. Can this be why it's reported that so many old people record high levels of happiness and contentment?

I mostly write java, and only very rarely use the debugger. If I need to verify or poke behaviour, I generally write a test to find out. Stack races and tests are usually enough.
Why should it be?

You present this as a normative argument, that things should be a certain way. But do you have a cogent argument for why we should be retarding the growth of memory and speed with our personal computing devices?

WRT Brooklyn, I noticed that in the summer the area around 7th ave / Flatbush often has all its rather numerous bike parking spots overfilled. Not a frequent view in other places yet. (And I hope it will not be, because they'll just build more bike parking spots.)
Yeah totes! Thanks for pointing that out. It's hnes. I guess its doing something there.
"If the front door is unlocked and you walk in, you still chose to walk in."

Under this analogy, WikiLeaks is putting up billboards detailing all homes with open doors, as well as providing a full searchable inventory of the contents of all homes.

"We're just providing the information" they say. "Just a middle man!"

EDIT: Instead of silent downvotes, can you respond with why you disagree? WikiLeaks took stolen private documents and made them easily accessible and searchable by people who otherwise would not have accessed them.

Please be respectful and engage in conversation, not downvotes.
The OP's net present value of future earnings is likely to be much bigger than $10, so why is it irrational for him to play Russian roulette for so little money?
I'm not sure how other tech individuals feel about these issues, but with the accounts of mass public shaming by everyone against perceived injustices and their supporters I feel like the best thing for myself is to say and do nothing at all. Until the tone of the discussion changes I think many people will continue to feel this way as well

Pretty neat! And I see you have included that tileset natively.
I think that making "pure ASCII image-less tileset" should be piece of cake as well:

Oh no — someone is being a meanie to the megacorps! Disgusting.
Well that's one specific interpretation of Buddhism common to a few schools. Samsara (reincarnation) can also be interpreted as an illustration of the problem of not learning from experience.

A general way of ending the cycle (that works across different schools of Buddhism) is that the Buddha was trying to teach us to focus on understanding human suffering. And only by understanding suffering can we ultimately dislodge it and move forward. You don't even have to be Buddhist to believe in that!
>>They are absolutely complicit in a gross violation of privacy. I've spent some time looking through the emails.

Did you just claim that Wikileaks committed a "gross violation of privacy" by publishing the emails, and then unironically admit, in the very next sentence, that you looked at them?
I work at a Sudbury School and my experience does not support this. My take on this is that we have a community rooted in a fundamental acceptance of people that tolerates disagreements. Different attitudes and views are welcomed. Thus groupthink is generally avoided. We often have split votes in the voting process and no one ever shuns someone for how they vote on an issue. Actually, no one really shuns anyone though, of course, they are not all friends.
This is very old, so it isn't even aware of C99 which leads to lots of bogus suggestions and tips.

Unless you know that you're going to be targeting truly ancient architectures/platforms, C99 really is the absolute minimum thing to be using these days when developing in C. It's 15 years old, it's not "new" or "non-standard" or "non-portable".

Edit: Of course I'm aware that Visual Studio doesn't support C99, so I guess that sorts under "truly ancient architectures/platforms", then. For C development, Windows' flagship development environment is ancient. I know it's a great IDE, but it's not a great C compiler since it doesn't support the language any more.
> Even though there is a great variety of chords and chord progressions, progressions involving 1,4,5, and 6 are favoured, probably because they ‘sound good’ to our brain.

I drive my girlfriend nuts because of this. I don't typically listen to the pop/country songs that are popular with our local radio but when she has it on in the car, every once in a while a song will come on and I'll think "I know this" and start singing an older (wrong) song that fits the progression pretty well.
I agree US businesses would be better off if we make our health care system work like any other civilized country. Tying health care to employers has turned out to be a terrible mess. But I think you're wrong about the general dynamic of class action suits.

There are two basic approaches to running a functioning society. You can establish a fair bit of regulation on how each thing is supposed to work and enforce it vigorously, or you can establish some relatively basic principles and then give people a right of private action through the courts.

Every country does some of each, of course. But America leans more heavily on the latter. And I think it's generally good, because it allows for more innovation. The government doesn't have to try to regulate each new thing. Companies know that if they fuck up and harm people, they'll end up on the wrong end of a lawsuit.

One problem with this approach is that it doesn't work well for small harms. If I find a way to fuck over every American to the tune of $10 each, I make $3b. That pile of cash lets me easily fend off the few Don Quixotes who sue me over $10. A class action suit, though, lets one lawyer sue on behalf of every American, and the opportunity of winning back $3b makes the gamble worth it.

As an entrepreneur, I much prefer the American approach. As long as I'm responsible, lawsuits aren't a huge risk, and I don't have to get advance approval from the Department of Commerce, Internet Apps Division, before I ship each new version.
>The armchair historian and anthropologist in me wishes we had something like this for the corporations of the 1800s.

What we do have from this time though are a huge number of private journals written/kept by very powerful and influential people. We also have huge troves of their mail correspondence that, without a doubt, was intended to be kept private.

We have since made these things public, written books about them, published the letters reprinted, etc.

So perhaps the release of such correspondence is merely a function of the time since its authorship, or the time since the author (and recipient?) died. The way things operate today though, the future historians are unlikely to get such content.
Except, for that part where he directly responds to a WaPo author who thinks due process isn't a thing that should exist.

While the author has a couple good points [there is alot of 1984 kind of Doublespeak in Western culture and it is getting worse] and there are those overzealous individuals who will use false information to push an agenda...

The mere fact political propaganda from a known biased source would be used as "evidence", honestly, shows the OP has the same biases as the SJW but from a different direction.

Intellectually honesty isn't repeating stories from a well known political organization that solely exists to train future conservatives to spread their message as fact [without disclosing that is what they are].

Since I'm rate limited I'll reply to the accusation below here:

> Your argument is simply ad hominem. Either the ideas themselves are wrong, or they're not. It doesn't matter where the information came from. If Hitler told me about gravity that doesn't mean there is no gravity just because I learned about it from him.

Hitler in a clown mask coming to tell you about how the Jews are ruining society. The author knows its Hitler, but he doesn't tell you. All the while claiming he is a paragon of intellectual honesty and the opposition is not.

That is the actual comparison and why him doing this is a problem.
I am a film producer. On a horror short in the woods [VHS 2: RIP segment] we had a PA (Production Assistant- the grunts of film) show up in a elegant black cocktail dress and some very expensive heels. She was smart, funny, and positively radiant. We had her sit around in the office until we wrapped and did not ask her back. It had everything to do with her attire and nothing to do with her gender. I will point out that when I asked her about her clothing choice (as the AD that was completely within my purview) she said, "I thought I would be working with the Director." Ridiculous.

Color just means putting red, green and red filters in front of the pixels in some pattern and so it is definitely not a principle problem but you will lose a large part of the light spectrum for every pixel and therefore harvest a lot less energy.

Fellow Italian here also in the UK. I've been self employed in both countries, and, boy, how easy it is to open a company in the United Kingdom compared to Italy.

The taxation system is much better and fair (although PM Monti's new tax regulations for new small businesses have helped, but they have their share of shortcomings) and the market and average salary for a software engineer is at least 2x compared to the Italian average:

- Good luck earning more than €24000 after taxes in a non-management position.

- Good luck finding full time positions: here in the UK I have the opposite problem, as a consultant I'm often looking for part-time offers and everybody's looking for full-time engineers. You may actually work full time for a company, but more often than not you get a short term contract with much lower benefits that gets renewed until you quit.

- Good luck if you're looking for remote work: nobody likes or trust remote workers here.

- I've quit my job after learning that my salary was filtered through 2 levels of outsourcing agencies, and my take-out pay was 16% (or 1/6th) of what the client was actually paying.

That's my personal 7 year experience in Milan, arguably the best Italian city for service-related work.

Linux userland binary compatibility in general is surprisingly fragmented, thanks to the introduction of so symbol versions about a decade ago.

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/dynamic-linking/versioned-...

https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-gene...

I don't believe Amazon Linux is any worse than other Linux distributions in this regard. If you build a binary on an older Linux distribution (like CentOS 5), then there's a good chance it will run on most new distributions. The opposite is unfortunately not true.

Also, some libraries, like libcurl, don't seem to have consistent symbol versions across distributions. If your application links against libcurl, chances are you won't be able to create a single binary that runs on very many distributions.

FUD.

There will be a clear migration path, including, it seems, the ability to run both 1.x and 2.x modules side by side using the new router from 1.4. This means you won't have to rewrite your 1.x modules immediately. 1.x also has a commitment from the Angular team to remain maintained for the foreseeable future.

Yes these were my biggest problem with this post; they don't spend the time to try and find out bottlenecks and when they finally do instead of investigating the WHY they're thinking about simply switching to yet another which is going to have the same issues if they're not using an optimal data model, etc.
People are still using Visual Studio as far as I know and Visual Studio isn't supporting C99, which makes C99 non-portable as long as Visual Studio is the default compiler for Windows and Windows beeing a big player.
Perhaps there is some historical reason for this.
