How to get to the frontpage of HN?
Hi, I read several articles on how I get to the front page of HN to present a product or whatever. It seems to be a mix of upvotes and the time it takes to get these upvotes. That's what I found out. What I didn't is which articles do really make it to the front page?! I dont seem to find any pattern after which this works.

I know I have a low karma. Is this of high importance when trying to get to the frontpage?
I was hoping for some article or wikipedia entry that would tie your comment with the parent's comment, and with the original article. Monomorphization is, to my understanding, taking a polymorphic function and instantiating it to the specific type requested. This is done at compile time. Now, the tool in this article interleaves debugging code with original source code. So the connection is... both monomorphization of generics/templates and this tool operate by emitting source code prior to compilation?
You're absolutely right - there's nothing stopping a standard MySQL setup pulling off the same stats, but it just wasn't what we were looking for, coupled with the various other decision points made in the post. RethinkDB's native ability to shard and scale is the key performance case to be made, in my opinion.

As mentioned by another user though, the filtering here is done entirely server-side (at RethinkDB's level), so the V8 thread performance isn't really a concern. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9411738 for more info.
This borders on a personal attack. Don't do this.

What a waste. I am amazed that you can take the attitude of "All new things are broken" and be involved in the creation of anything new at all. To me you need to have one of two outlooks on life to hold that viewpoint. Either you really think that you are independently of anyone else so awesome that you will create something of value by yourself that is somehow better then what anyone else is doing, or you think that you yourself are so much better then everyone else that things which hold value to others are meaningless to you. Either way you're placing so much value on yourself that whatever comes out will be so isolated as to be useless to everyone else, but why do you care since you're so much better then everyone else.

I mean consider the blog post "I am going write only" which loosely translates to what I produce is worth your time to read, but what you produce is not worth my time to read. No thank you.
He could care a great deal less about it.
If Google proxies and caches images at the time of receipt, instead of when you open the email, then you effectively don't have read receipts for Gmail users, because it looks like they all read the email immediately.

Caching images immediately is probably an attractive engineering decision on its own merits. Whether spamming read receipts is good (because it makes them useless) or bad (because it makes people think the emails got read) is an interesting question.
Yes, but eventually they'll make enough of their own content you wont care if they carry anyone else's stuff.
ElasticSearch was one of the data sources to grafana [1.8.1]. I do not see anything that points to "still works" in the docs. Has this changed?
No Chrome extension can know which images are being used to track email opens. If you want to disable that sort of tracking you should disable images/external resources completely. Otherwise you're just getting a false sense of security.

I suggest that this is not such a simple issue, because the babies in question would still have to deal with structural racism later in life.

So would the children of two black parents. So no benefit there.

...and preferring someone of your own race is now an 'extremely specific qualification'...and you think I've lost the thread?

Given that 20% of the people who want this will be forever alone, yes it is.

The hypothetical problem I presented was 'Dad, quite a lot of people express hostility towards me on the basis that I'm black. Help me out.' as opposed to...

I'll remind you that you asked whether I would "Tell him that it's a solved problem" - recall that according to me, the solved problem is "I want to date a person satisfying $rare_condition but I can't find such people, so now I'm forever alone". Has nothing to do with third parties being unkind.

Also note: a black parent can't fix racism by third parties either. So again, no benefit to intra-racial marriage.

What I said was that you don't seem to have through through the sort of problems that your offspring would be likely to encounter; my thesis is that this lack of apparent concern...family formation...

I'm not quite sure why you come to the conclusion that either I or family oriented non-black men have not thought through some particular problem. Could you explain?

(My post is fairly agnostic on this issue, which is why my attempt at a charitable interpretation led me in the direction of shared experiences.)
Good point and this is a core art of Netflix's strategy for its own content. It's not going to happen any time soon with content from studios and other distributors though, because international distributors usually buy the rights to a film for a 10 year period. Except for the biggest 6, most film distributors don't have multinational operations and even the big 6 don't have offices in every territory, so they can't just wave magic wands and abrogate existing international distribution contracts.

On the validity of MBTI, the main use I've found is to use the eight functions as part of my vocabulary. It's a pretty handy approximation to be able to say to someone in conversation "wow, Stephen Fry has a really developed Fe" and have them know what you mean. There an approximation is all you need, and in exchange you get neat symbols to hang entire categories of ideas onto.

On the flip side, it's all too easy to move symbols around in your head without investigating whether the model you've built corresponds to reality...

| What programs do you get to have full control over for free?

How about we go through your own list of programs that your control panel gives access to?

* WordPress: Free and open source.
* Drupal: Same.
* Joomla: Same.
* Bulletin Board software: Same.
* PHP: Same.
* Python: Yup.
* Javascript: Same.
* OpenPGP: Also FOSS.

At least half of your bloody toolkit is stuff that developers can easily have full control over for free. Stuff that you're charging a prospective employee to use.
Do nothing..

1. Yes , contract can be legal bind even word but if there where not transaction involve.. might be ignore.

2.Even got contract,sometimes client would delay and give lot of excuses.

3. All my freelance work i wanted to bind with contract and i have legit company to avoid many nonsense client.

4. Did i been harassed like you, Yes.much worst. I had to close my Facebook account.

The place to start with REM would be Automatic for the People, a great record by any standard; it is quite forthright, lyrically, about where it's coming from.

Second would be Murmur, which is somewhat the reverse. You get the feeling, but the words are ornamentation or invitations to projection.
Granted, I have practically no background in academic psychology research. I am willing to believe that there is a kernel of science in psychology.

And I 'believe' in statistics, which is just math after all. This is notwithstanding the apparent fact that the social and life sciences seem to be in a state of panic right now due to issues regarding the use of statistics. At best, it means that a few reports should be discarded. At worst, I have to anticipate that there may be entire fields or subfields that are "science," but that have produced no reliable scientific knowledge base as of yet.

But for a layperson like myself, my only likely contact with psychology is at least a couple steps removed from academic science:

1. Does the application of scientific methodology actually produce useful scientific knowledge in all fields at the present state of the art?

2. Are people who claim to apply psychological knowledge in ways that affect me, likely to use that knowledge in an unbiased and ethical fashion?

In my life, we are talking about people such as educators (of my kids), HR managers, journalists, and little consultants. Should I trust these people to tell me anything that I don't already know about myself or through general common sense?

This is how it can come to pass that something is both "science" and "bullshit" when viewed from opposite ends of a pipeline from basic research to practical application.
I really think you need to meet & work with a team in-person before you move remote. Having that up-front interaction makes it quicker to build trust & will give you more leverage. In your proposals, let them know that you're looking for remote work, but that you can come in for X days/weeks as a trial period.

"Empiricism" does not usually refer to taking measurements (which seems to be what you have in mind); it is a theory of epistemology which holds that knowledge is primarily experiential. (It just happens that many psychologists are causal empiricists, but it has nothing per se to do with their love of measurement.)

Mindful of content-free comments being pretty aggravating on Hacker News, I'll blow my one content-free comment a year (in what seems as good a place as any, given where these comments will take us) to reflect on how much I want popcorn to watch this play out. This is better than TV.

Poor OP. I owe you a beer, Michael. Welcome to HN, Masonlove.
After years of staring at screens at work, an optometrist told me I was shortsighted for life and insisted I buy prescription glasses. I then became a landscape gardener for four years. Guess what? My shortsightedness disappeared, as did my hayfever and weak knees. Now I am back in an office (much much better wages) and my shortsightedness is starting to return. So a combination of aggressive diagnosis and lack of eye exercise.

"is this some noob online trying to con me?"

Yes.

He wants to get paid (ideally, get paid $175 for this "control panel"). He will hound you to the exact extent you engage and indicate he might be able to get money.

In order to actually get any money by suing, he would have to pay a lawyer and disclose his identity, both of which he is very unlikely to do. If he did he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

He might very well threaten to contact whomever he can dig up contact information for that's related to you & tell them you're a bad, bad contract-breacher, but that's about the worst he can do. And why would anyone care? Every message by him makes him sound like an obvious scammer.

I use (al)pine. Nobody has ever, in any way, received information about my email opens.

I speed through email with keystrokes and zero mouse movement, and I can use email with ease on even the slowest of satellite or 2G network access.

Finally - and this is my favorite part - since I use pine, and my engineers at rsync.net also use pine, not one single intra-company email has ever traversed the Internet. Ever.

All intra-company email is simply a local copy operation on a single mail server.
Legally it's worthless. You could sign this contract and it's not that much difference from slavery, which is illegal. The logs you own are more than enough to prove the bad intentions of your client. Even if this nonsense is somehow legal, your client would spend lots of money filing a legal action against you. Unless you live in India, you're more than safe.
The punctuation mistakes you make in this post match those in the crappy sections of the contract.

Let's assume that when I say statistics I'm talking about the scientific application of statistics and not Fox New's use of statistics, now to your questions:

1. Not always, but that is the nature of scientific research and you should know this.

2. I would say that they would, if you found yourself or a member of your family and/or friends were affected by a mental illness. Which, by the way, is very, very likely.

In regards to common sense, you can't always rely on it, and there is research to prove this.

As for your utilitarian measurement of what is useful to you or bullshit, great! You sound like you'd make a great engineer, as opposed to a research scientist. Though don't hate on the researchers, they discovered some of the things you take for granted in your day to day application of what is 'not bullshit'.
Sorry to hear about this. It seems like he's asking you to violate the oDesk TOS anyway, so I'm sure you're in the clear.

At https://gun.io we avoid this by thoroughly screening clients and developers before making introductions, and by having a dedicated team of account managers who are able to make sure that projects go smoothly for both freelancers and clients. We'd love to have you apply!

You're both right. The trend with these I2O programs (and other departments) is to design a system of loosely coupled pieces that are tailored to a specific problem domain, in this case human trafficking, and then generalize in the next couple years later. By the third or fourth year you could expect to see multiple engagements with corporate industry and Gov't/DOD/LE/etc to appl these tools to their data, and thus generalize and polish the final product. The end goal is adoption of the technology and successful transition to some partner. The good programs tend to run for 3-4 years if they can justify their existence to the DARPA leadership. This is also roughly the tenure of a program manager, although a program manager may have more than one program going at a time.
It's just proof that this contract isn't thoroughly thought out, and wasn't hand-written by anyone with an actual law degree.

It's pretty hard to market a test that's going to call you neurotic, nor could you write nice positive analyses for it like all the other letters have.

Are there MBTI tests accurate enough to report numbers along each scale instead of just picking a letter at each end? The way it only gives extremes when most people are presumably normal really makes it look bad.
This is, perhaps, a canonical example of how management's attempt to monetize an open source project will cause sub-optimal results both in code quality and profits.

New features should be developed and tested in an open version, so the feedback, testing, patches and even unexpected new improvements from high skilled enthusiasts would be incorporated much more quickly than any closed team with QA (look at the Linux kernel).

We have seen too many examples of "acquiring" open source projects to monetize on its user base (how I hate that idiotic MBA slang) which then became stagnant - from MySQL to Xen, you name it.

I wonder what mr. Sysoev is writing these days?)

I just tried running Chicago Boss. I followed the quick start guide that had a lot of steps and managed to get a 404 error.

With Rails there are less steps:
gem install rails && rails new path/to/your/new/application && cd path/to/your/new/application && rails server
and you just point your browser to http://localhost:3000 and get a nice welcome page for your new skeleton app.

Chicago Boss could be improved in that respect.
