My biggest concern with this is that it is still so integrated into the ads system. I don't use AdBlock and its kin solely because I don't want to see the ads, but also so that I am not tracked everywhere I go on the internet. This does not seem to address that.
First thing I did, as I usually do with sites that have annoyingly small text width, was inspect element to increase contrast / width / remove the doublespacing. Then I read it. ...irony.

I think the real point is that "pop" music sucks and has always sucked, for the most part at least. A teen is more likely to listen to "what is popular" rather than "what I like best" to fit in, but once they grow up they realize a lot of it sucked.

The music we remember being good "back then" is really just a hand-picked set of artists/songs that stand out in our memory. I remember listening to a Classic Rock station in high school with my dad, and him commenting on how he loved the station -- it was the music he listened to when he was young, but he didn't have to sit through all the crap, since it was basically a "Greatest Hits" from an era. I mean, we tend to regard the 60s and 70s as a great time period for music, but how much of that music was terrible and has since faded into obscurity?

I guarantee the old, grumbly people who say "music was better back in my day" can find artists and songs they like in the current generation of music. It's probably going to be different, and they're probably not going to find it on Top 40 stations or whatever (so yeah, they're less likely to try if it takes effort), but it's out there.

Github doesn't. Issues can be tagged as 'bug' or 'enhancement' and they're both treated essentially the same way.

>it's up to the developers to figure out the gravity of the situation

Sure would be nice if there were some sort of tool that could help with figuring that out.
Quoting:

> CimaVax was developed by government-run Molecular Immunology Center. It's not brand new, and Cuba has not kept its success a secret. Cuban researchers were testing the drug in the 1990s and major world media outlets have reported on it in the 2000s.

In addition, quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Cuba#Medical_res... :

> In the 1980s, Cuban scientists developed a vaccine against a strain of bacterial meningitis B, which eliminated what had been a serious disease on the island. The Cuban vaccine is used throughout Latin America. After outbreaks of meningitis B in the United States, the U.S. Treasury Department granted a license in 1999 to an American subsidiary of the pharmaceutical company SmithKline Beecham to enter into a deal to develop the vaccine for use in the U.S. and elsewhere

Or http://www.globalresearch.ca/cuba-develops-four-cancer-vacci... :

> it is important to note that the US economic blockade of Cuba hinders the marketing of Cuban pharmaceuticals in the United States, thus affecting the US people. For instance, a total of 80 thousand diabetic people who undergo toe amputation every year in the United States every year cannot access the Cuban vaccine known as Heberprot-P, which precisely avoids such amputations.

Cuba's biotech research is used as an example of what pharmaceutical research might look like were it not profit-driven.
Do you have an alternative way to determine whether you are a contributor to avoid displaying ads to you?
Having been on the screening side and candidate side... it's rough either way. I just turned 40, and see certain biases even from myself, and tend to think that a lot of developers by their mid 30's simply are less inclined to use or keep up with newer tools. I see the same "Enterprise" patterns used over and over again, because that's the way it is done not because it's even a good fit. And this is from someone in that age group... so I can definitely understand it.

On the flip side, it's been over a decade since I've looked at a lot of things at a lower level (implemented a b-tree or quick-sort) or even really used a fully compiled language; favoring .Net, JavaScript and other scripted languages. The kinds of things that Google/MS and others seem to screen for just don't interest me as much as building a distributed system that can handle scale and load consistently. I've never been a fan of OO and tend to favor more functional patterns. Almost every time I've looked at a Java or .Net solution I cringe as there's always a number of design patterns that don't fit well, and implemented by any number of people who I wouldn't consider craftsmen.

People tend to get too comfortable with a given situation... I think after the bubble burst around 2000 a pretty large divide was created between those before the bubble and those since... Especially given that a lot of people came in and left software development during the early 2000's... I see a lot of people 35+ and a lot of people under 30.. and a bit of a gap in between. It's almost a given that ageism is bound to flourish in the environment.

A lot of attention is given to bringing more women into technology in terms of using "inclusive phrasing", having recently had an interesting discussion following someone come into an IRC channel and asking, "can one of you guys help me with something". I think the younger generation should work on re-thinking about their own ageism.
The circular areas are presumably meant to suggest the number of artists at each level. The innermost circle contains only 1/7th of the total number of names, etcetera. (Though this would have been more appropriate if each ring had increased by the square, instead of linearly.)

> No matter how you sell it, what you have here is a css tautology. It's a "list item", the element name is right there for all to see and use, including the machine.

The names are similar because they've created a general framework. They should have probably name-spaced the component as well with prefixes.

Using class names creates a scope so your rules don't spill out and pollute everything else. It's like local variables in a function, and it's also a hack to behave more like XML. For example:

<li class="product-sku">

is approximating:

<sku>

Maybe web components will fix this, but I'm not up-to-speed with that technology.

Your summary seems accurate, but if we are understanding correctly, I don't think what they're attempting is even possible.

The problem is that all the features of a language interact, and scientific experiments try to isolate variables. So you will end up with a bunch of choices that are good in isolation, but an incoherent whole.

If someone can provide an example of evidence-based language design, I'd be interested. But right now I don't really see it.

Why not have an evidence-based car or plane design? Like programming languages, these things are complex enough that they require historical exemplars and rules of thumb. You can't really expect to explore the design space from scratch.

It can move things to the right, but more so for the rich than the poor. That is, unless you are assuming minimum wage services are primarily consumed by minimum wage workers.
Only played during the original WoW days, but from what I heard things are so different now. I remember the days of hardcore 40 man raids, I hear it's not as much as a thing anymore. The game is more catered to the casual gamer. Then again, that makes perfect sense. When I started, I had hours and hours to devote on the game, these days, I can barely find any time to play games.
EU warns of 'point of no return' if Internet firms are not regulated soon
I've been using https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere since 2011
(Firefox 3.6 back then) and only rarely see sites that serve a
default page or stall with https.

That's anecdata, but to get good data one would have to try to fetch &
compare results from both protocols for many websites - perhaps Google
or the Internet Archive has done this?

The biggest annoyance for me in using https preferentially is that I
often end up with multiple bookmarks for the "same" page, which differ
only in their protocol - it would be nice if there were an auto-magic
way to upgrade the old http bookmark to the https protocol.
If the service were launched as a wholly separate entity, with clearly stated legal terms for data privacy and retention, I would be able to accept that as a necessity.
When I was 16 years old I would get into the nuwen IRC where I learned and really started my whole programming education / career through STL. I still remember the std::vector explanation that included cats in buckets. Prior to him I only opened VB's IDE and...that was it. He had me writing algorithms in C++.

Too bad I'm so rusty in C++ nowadays; need to get back on it. I like using the nuwen MinGW distro when I worked on Windows; made picking up boost and SDL really simple.

(Just figured I'd share since you mentioned him; he probably doesn't remember me at all but without him I don't know if I would have ever become a developer. In fact at the time I was thinking about becoming a doctor but was a lazy high schooler who dreaded the years of education required)

Unless you are optimizing for a specific SSD with known quantities there is no real way to do that.

The high-level optimizations are important:
* Choose a good SSD
* Read and Write in "page" multiples and "page" aligned
* Use lots of parallel IOs (high queue depth)
* Do not put unrelated data in the same "page"

A page used to be 4KB, SSDs are now switching to 8KB and will switch to 16KB later on. Just pick a reasonable size around that (16KB if you can do it will last you a while). Don't sweat the page multiples too much, the SSDs will most likely have to handle 4KB pages for a long while due to databases and such so they will keep some optimization around that size anyhow, it will make it easier for them if you use a larger size.

I wouldn't heed any of the advice on single-threading, the biggest performance boost comes from parallelism and writes are anyway buffered by the SSD (a good SSD has a super-cap to have a good sized write cache).
I know what you mean, but I also think that street runs in two directions. ASP.NET was pretty late with MVC because (of course this is just me speculating) that was what those dirty Django & Rails heathens were up to. Turns out, MVC was a pretty good idea after all.

Probably because there isn't much use to it, as with , such as an eventual consistency data store not being CA, CP, or AP. there is nothing to argue with. He makes the assertion but offers no reasoning to support his claim.

For an existence proof of things he claims doesn't exist consider Cassandra. It is eventually consistent, and you can configure it to be each of those things he says can't happen by tuning the read, write consistency. For CA choose all, CP choose quorum, for AP choose one. QED.
This is probably a good start:

That's correct. Although looking into it more, it appears the revamps of the old world dungeons which made them much easier and less time consuming didn't happen until later expansions. (E.g Scarlet Monastery and Blackfatom Deeps two expansions later.)
> "Developers on HN are surprisingly open-minded towards developing on Windows"

OT, but I have not found this to be the case. Most comments on HN that mention developing on Windows are usually followed up with "Windows? Ugh", "OP must not have a choice", and other comments about how rough Windows development is.

Back on topic, as a C#/.NET developer I completely agree with your points.
So what if I disapprove of one of the participating sites?
In most cases, yes. However, with some work we should be able to allow inlining across language boundaries as long as you're using clang to compile the C and C++. This is because rustc uses the same backend as clang (LLVM).
Pausing for an hour to think about and understand your problem is important in any language. Probably more important than testing honestly.
Interesting note: every ghost-town of a zone in WoW, and some of them were ghost-towns immediately, cost N fully realized software startups to develop. (Like, mid-single-digit million dollars per zone.)

It's one of those things to keep in perspective when folks say "Why did anyone sink $1.2 million into $A_FIELD_I_DON'T_CONNECT_WITH?" I don't know, but that's literally less than it cost to put that mid-30s swamp level in Ogrimmar that nobody ever went to, so don't fret too much about the misallocation of society's resources.
Good point - Silithus ALWAYS had a low population, because it sucked to get to, and sucked even more to level there. The quests are almost all formulaic, (kill 10 ant monsters, etc.) and there are few plots in any of the quests. Once you hit 60 in the original game, there was plenty to do in _any_ other area that made it worth leaving and never coming back. I did some leveling in all the areas that were available at the time because I liked exploring, but the quests there actively discouraged moving very far from the base, as most of the quests could be completed close by.

> Partial answers feel "bad" in Haskell because all the core functionality is clean enough to not need them

Not to need them, sure, but not not to use them. (I swear that's the right number of 'not's.) I don't understand why something like Neil Mitchell's `Safe` isn't just the way that things are done by default.
Right, marking areas (in this case terms between commas), like Google's Webmaster Tools structured information designer does it, would help.
This would require some kind of regular expressions in the example, at least. Of course this would make matters more complicated. This tool excels at simple data sets, I don't think it is meant to be universal.

No such assumption made. If you have a positive correlation in your data, you're probably not placing enough weight on your interviews in your hiring process (i.e. you knew people weren't as good at interview but you still hired them). If you have a negative correlation you're similarly placing too much emphasis on interviews; you're likely hiring people who interview well over people who'd be better in the job.

You might still hire bad engineers, but the uncorrelated nature of your interview/job performance data won't help you explain that.

Umm, why does Google have to control this sort of ad-prevention mechanic? Obviously because it lets them profit from potential lost ad revenue, but what about the publishers? What sort of "cut" are they getting? And why are they only getting a cut of contributions that are essentially for their content?

And hopefully the chip effectively kills those... hopefully. I know a few flaws have been found.

The only time I've been subject to fraud in recent years, incidentally, was when my card was skimmed in London and then the clone used to attempt an ATM withdrawal in Canada. So clearly the skimmer had seen me enter a PIN, skimmed the magnetic stripe and then sold the details to someone who could use it in a country where those two things were enough.

Needless to say, I got the money back pretty quickly.

For CA choose all

My understanding is that you can't "choose" CA, because partitions can never be entirely eliminated. If CA was really an option, who wouldn't pick it?

So if Cassandra is actually able to do that, then can you expand a little more on how it accomplishes that?
The way I think about it is that music is associated with emotions, people have a finite number of emotions, and can associate a finite number of songs with each emotion. Once you "fill up your slots", there's less incentive to find more music (or rather, it's harder for a new song to earn its way in). Good luck to any aspiring songwriters looking to unseat "Walking on Sunshine" from my happy slot, or Baby Mine from the 'love my child' slot, for example.
