Introducing Multi-User Organizations: Share an Account Without Sharing a Login
Agreed, if indeed he is using "internship" to mean "unpaid internship". Far too much importance is placed on unpaid work these days, particularly in tech, and it just isn't needed. He clearly has enough experience to spend his summer doing actual work, and should be compensated for it.
Just tried running it and got this, I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong...?

I assume that's finance. Is it trading, PE, IB or something else?

All of the above. It's harder for an idiot to get rich in straight trading, because there is a merit factor in that game. PE is a big one. Lots of highly-compensated but unimpressive people in that industry.
Spotify and Skype come to mind as well.
I'm trying to figure out how he made the small grey lines under the subtitles like "Coding Skills" and "Design Skills"....can't figure out what's creating it. Anyone?
Me too. That's why I made this post, but I didn't include any details because I just wanted honest opinions.

Since your profile invites pings, I'll ping you. I'm interested to learn about your approach!
There's no license there, so I'd have to assume he asked for permission.
I haven't found this to be true in the technical subreddits. Sure, you won't find many php haters in /r/php, but isn't that expected?

The filter bubble is definitely there in the non-tech subreddits.
I don't know how 'real' they are, but I really enjoy making my way through the 99 problems https://sites.google.com/site/prologsite/prolog-problems . The link is to the (AFAIK) original, Prolog version, but the problems are sufficiently general that you can work on them in any language, and a little Googling will probably turn them up for your language of choice.
Just because an account is less than a year old doesn't mean the person behind the account is new here. I'm certainly not. But thanks for trying to be the internet police. Also, just because a person visits both sites doesn't mean we NEED the circle-jerk BS here.
I don't feel like it's a filter bubble, or if it is, it's a society-wide one. There are certain political questions where I feel like it's unacceptable to express particular views, but that seems to be the case everywhere.

Non-tech hobbies have helped me meet people from a wide variety of classes, which means I have at least some exposure to a variety of viewpoints. It's worth getting out and off the internet every so often.
How do you know you are right if you didn't measure?

I have done things "knowing" what the outcome would be only to be surprised, and I never would have known if I hadn't measured.
"steal" as if you never used someone else's code. There's not even a notice on the original, I'm hard pressed to find him at fault.
I have used nitrous.io for some Clojure work (and Ruby and Node) and you have as many terminal windows open on an instance as you want.
Did he do architecture? Design? Mentoring? Its not all about the hours. A manager, for instance, was probably paid higher than anyone in the group and didn't do any code.
the synthetic cannabinoids are popular in part because because smoking marijuana will cause a failed UA. when it hit the shelves my friends on probation were smoking it to 'beat' the system.

Do your own research.

The onus is not on me. I have done my research: I am a parent, and that's the position I'm promoting.

If you can't defend your own position, don't expect somebody else to.
Did the switch (and switched companies) the other way around: I've never been happier. My CTO even gave me the day off yesterday to spend time with my girlfriend I hadn't seen in two weeks.
And tell me again the point of promoting a special? It's to manipulate people into becoming regular customers of restaurant A over restaurant B. Even the notion of specials has mainly become a promotional device; the tail of advertising has now wags the dog of cooking.

I like small business owners. And I get the necessity of advertising in today's markets. It's an arms race; if your competitors advertise, you generally have to do so as well. People being people, I'm also provisionally ok with some modest level of manipulation. But let's be real: advertising is mostly calculated manipulation of other people for your own profit.
No, it might be possible to have a ledger that you can trust to change according to some rules known to everybody, while the actual balances and transactions are encrypted.
It is still an open problem as far as I know.

This is definitively NK. They did it because the US State and Defense Department were involved with the creation of the interview (this can be seen easily in the email leaks).
As someone who isn't very familiar with package managers, what does this mean for Chocolatey?
We do indeed.

I don't reckon many people would bother with them if they could buy LSD though.

I find some novel psychedelics interesting, specifically anything that might not last quite so long.
Terminal is neat, but I've had my instance fail to start twice and I never got a response from help@terminal.com. Ended up having to wait a few days each time for it to start working again.
I used Koding.com and c9.io extensively but got really frustrated when they were down or slow due to high usage, so just got my own $5/mo box and began doing it there.

I use [codebox](https://github.com/CodeboxIDE/codebox) on a digital ocean droplet for nearly all my development. It's a simple-to-install node app, though it's not being actively developed from what I can tell so I'd really like to switch to a local install of cloud9.
Good on you. I would refuse to work at any company that places such ridiculous standards on its employees. I'm surprised you even stayed for 4 months I would have been out of there much sooner.
Thanks for posting this to HN (I'm the post author).

There are two posts:
1) the link you posted. It looks at the application as a whole, not really at the datastore alone.
2) Another one on the big data store themselves, and more generally of the different definitions of 'availability'. It's here http://blog.thislongrun.com/2015/04/cap-availability-high-av...

I will update the posts to make this clearer. As well, it's a series and these posts are the most complex of the series :-). Many points are more detailed in the previous posts.

IBM Is Betting That Agile Methodology Will Save It
There is maybe one person per year without PE experience hired into a PE firm large enough to pay someone straight out of an MBA $500k. Maybe one.
The statistics from Harvard do not back you up:

http://www.hbs.edu/recruiting/data/Pages/detailed-charts.asp...

10 years down the line the spread between having an MBA and not will be significant, but right after MBA school very few people (10%?) have a starting salary of even $200k. I'm sure there is a guy that came out and made $500k, but it's not anyone outside of the top 10% within the the best program in the country.

I'm considering getting an MBA (I am currently a senior software engineer, previously have been a mechanical engineer). I know that for myself personally, an MBA would definitely be a financial setback over the next 3 years. Long term, 10+ years out, it would be a big gain. I'm considering doing it, but the cost is turning me off a bit.

As another anecdote, the best "business" guy I know from my graduating class (in fact, the valedictorian from a class of 5000 people) is also considering an MBA. He is in the same boat that I am - the salaries for most people upon MBA graduation are lower than our current salaries. So what's the point? Yet 10 years from now, not having an MBA will be a liability, because other people with MBA's attribute their success to them and are skeptical of those without.
Well, those unimpressive people get the needed work experience.

The "work experience" component of MBA admissions is socioeconomic. It's often worked out while these kids are still in school, that they'll do job X for 3 years and then get sent to Harvard MBA school. And while some rich kids are also impressively intelligent and creative, those tend not to be the rich kids who go to MBA school. So you get a mix of reasonably impressive (or lucky) middle-class students and unimpressive rich kids.
When we have markdown, why we need WYSIWYG?
Yes, if you haven't seen them you should search through the leaked SONY emails - in particular the Lynton emails pointed out by the Guardians of Peace.

The target of the propaganda was not the US - it was NK citizens. There was a pipeline ready to send the film to NK residents.
I think this is an interesting comment. Enjoyment of work is a large contributor to my "quality of life". And working at a startup provides interesting and unique work.

I find it interesting that everyone always assumes that working more hours means less quality of life. I thoroughly enjoy my job, so spending more time doing it does not detract from anything.
The website was vague: Can you "Open in TextNut?"

If so, this is useful. If not, this is a missed opportunity. I don't want you controlling where I store and open things, but I would very much enjoy a nice Markdown editor for writing things.
If you're coming from engineering, your initial post-MBA-graduation salary will probably not be worth it, it might even be lower than what you're making. The key is the long-term trajectory. If you make it into investment banking or consulting, you'll see predictable linear salary and bonus growth year-after-year with pretty much no limit. As an engineer you'd reach a ceiling eventually and then it's the standard 2-3%/year cost of living increases until you die. If you have a tech background and are NOT planning on going into banking or consulting, doing the MBA is not worth it [EDIT]_financially_ (at best it's neutral long-term), in my opinion. This analysis, of course, ignores the general intangible benefits of education.
Interesting about 75% of the ads I see on Twitter are for products that I might actually be interested in. This is way higher than e.g Facebook (which seems to think I want to play a free to pay game or sign up for bad dating sites or get my degree again) which suggest to me that Twitter is doing something right and it can't be data collection because Facebook knows so much about me (including that I graduated from the very place they wanted me to get the degree, with that exact degree).

What may be happening is that the ads on Twitter are better targeted to technical users.
This is pretty cool. Are you planning on extending the querying ability at all? I would love to be able to use this like Hoogle, point it at my scala code and query for all methods that take a list and return an int, for example.
But how did you even make the connection? I don't see the text "Visual Idiot" anywhere. And were you just browsing his js files? Or did the UI of the site feel familiar?

>> Synthetic Marijuana would be synthesizing THC in a lab.

That would be synthetically produced THC, not synthetic marijuana. We're talking about a product designed to mimic cannabis, using synthetic cannabinoids. I don't think it's unreasonable to call it synthetic cannabis.

If you want to call it "fake cannabis" that's fine, but then we need to distinguish it from the people just selling oregano and calling it weed...

-- edit --

Incidentally, on the UK RC scene these things are referred to as 'Blends', as they are often blends of multiple cannabinoids infused into plant material, which is often a blend of different plants (marshmallow and damiana are popular). Further, 'reputable' vendors of these blends publish what substances they've used and how much by weight. This is very unlikely to be the case with a bag of "Atomic Fallout" or whatever the f*ck it is from your local gas station or head shop though.

Some people buy the cannabinoids pure and make their own blends, or vapourise them directly, which is a very dodgy and OD-prone business, but at least then you know roughly hat you're getting and how much.

Thanks! Very good question - I haven't used it with many elements in one go, so I don't have a ready answer - it needs to clone a bunch of nodes and call getComputedStyle a few times, so it's definitely not free, though I honestly don't know where it would become noticeably sluggish. The good news is that transitions are (usually) done with CSS animations, so there's no timer congestion, and nothing to block the main thread once the transition starts.
I increasingly come to expect this sort of product since kids coming up expect their products to be like this.

He may be a leader in this, but the group coming up definitely will be demonstrating the "Yes, and..." attitude in terms of design and features. The new kids invigorate the game, which is great.
“Catching Up” is Irrelevant
Getting off the internet is crucial.

But the internet is a cornerstone of our lives no matter what, and every major service (search, social networking, e-commerce, etc) has made personalization part of their core strategy.
The link isn't working for me.

What we do is keep a copy of all packages we use and then assemble everything into a workspace as part of the automated build. Nothing is pulled from GitHub at build time. All those copies are versioned so you can have different projects use different versions. The dependencies are specified via some pre-existing build infrastructure but essentially there is one file in the project listing all the dependencies and where to find the packages.

Developers can still have their own personal workspace and build with different versions but the "real" build is always reproducible.

I think many people using Go or wanting to use Go in commercial/production environments are finding a little bit of impedance mismatch between the Go view of the world (the workspace and packages) and what their existing tooling does. It's not too terrible to deal with but it would be nice if we had a little more flexibility. go get could support some nicer/automated version of the above where you have the ability to download/mirror packages to a shared drive or to another source control system and pull from there to your workspace based on specific dependency versions. This is fairly minor friction though.
What does your social life look like? Do you have a truly diverse collection of friends, or just a handful of people who are like you in terms of race, gender, age, profession, income, hobbies, etc?

News sources are just a symptom. If you don't have a diverse social life, friends and peers who live and think differently from you, you won't have a why when encountering new ideas and information. You won't have the perspective of someone who lives what you just encountered. You'll lack perspective. Without perspective, it's easy to reject and ignore things that contradict what's already in your bubble.
AFAIK This script came from Tympanus/Codrops, not VI. I've used a version of this script as well for a project. I mean, it'd be better if Marek used even a modified background instead of taking the entire example from Codrops, but I don't think it would be 'stealing' as much as reusing tutorial code.

We are! http://fetching.io

Granted our desktop app is a highly customized version of our hosted web app. We use NWJS to package up our Meteor app (along with elastic search and mongo) to create a secure, local-only version of our personal web search tool.
Plunker (http://plnkr.co) is a site in the top 9k globally (per Alexa) and was developed exclusively in Cloud9IDE (http://c9.io).

I have several computers that I use at different times and being able to switch computers without friction has been the a major boon to productivity. I also love the IDE itself. For someone doing node.js work (in pure javascript), the built-in tools are fantastic.

EDIT: Other relevant fact is that this is all hobby development work as I am not a professional programmer. As such, I have never had the time or motivation to really create a custom dev environment of my own. Cloud9IDE gives me a great setup without any tweaking needed.
Not to pick on you (too much?) but a combination of coming to HN because of "shared values" and ignoring daily news sites because they're "unhealthy" doesn't sounds great to me.

HN is very much a bubble. Not just that it's tech news based, but it's also very geographically centered around Silicon Valley and economically centered around the affluent.

To pick a topical example, I'd say that every American ought to know what is going on in Baltimore right now - HN is most definitely not the place to get the full view of a topic like that. And daily news sites don't just do daily news - by example, the Baltimore Sun has a great, in-depth piece that is directly relevant to what's going on right now:

Some larger corporations are required by company policy to throw out resumes with pictures on them (I know this from first hand experience). This is due to discrimination laws and attempts at eliminating bias.

"Steal" seems to be a slightly strong word. It looks like it's open source and just missing the license.[1]

I'd prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt rather than jump straight to accusations.

[1] I didn't look too hard, but I came up with this link quickly: https://gist.github.com/benjaminsinger/ad5231be7748de3a9a11#... - I didn't immediately see the license on the original it was forked from, but this one has a license, so I assume there's some sort of compatibility.
never saw this error but current version is 0.1.3-SNAPSHOT.

The instructions are probably confusing, I will fix them. You can run:
lein jar
java -jar target/effectivejava-0.1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar and then the options.

Whether or not this is the actual problem, this isn't what the US government thinks and we are analyzing the US governments behavior by examining what she thinks.
It sounded to me like the pilot's couldn't input the flight plans into the cockpit avionics because they didn't have a paper copy of the flight plan.
In America, you can express whatever political views you want. Of course, you might wind up with most people thinking you're an asshole for it.

If you express your opinion and almost everyone thinks you're an asshole, then you're either a genius, or an asshole.

+1 The FPComplete web based Haskell web IDE is very good.

I worked at Google for a while in 2013 and they had an awesome web IDE named Cider. I wonder if that is still in use internally at Google.
Ah, I just went to http://vaguelyexciting.com/. I'm assuming you recognized the moving dots/lines and made then connection yourself, then compared JS files to confirm.
Very nice. Just one tip – in one of your testimonials Cristina uses the word "pedant". She probably meant you're good with details (or that you're a good teacher), but at least in the US, that word almost always has the negative connotation of being too concerned with details.

I had exactly that feeling a while ago. I was looking at HN, lobste.rs, reddit, my tech-news-filled RSS reader at least hourly. My Twitter timeline was packed with tech people, and my podcatcher was subscribed to 50 or so tech podcasts.

This way, I always heard about the newest scandals, *-gates, dramas, etc and I spent a lot of energy and time thinking about them, discussing them with people on Twitter. I let every little piece of drama get to me. I felt exhausted. I felt angry most of the time. I was frustrated.

So, I just stopped. No HN, deleted my Twitter account, didn't attend any tech related event. I unsubscribed from most of the podcasts I was listening to, added some about the things that are going on in the world or other topics that interest me. Or simply didn't listen to anything at all. When I was walking home from work, listening to nature and interacting with the people around me helped so much getting out of this "oh my gosh, there's so much going on in the tech world, I cant' miss out on anything..." feeling. I also (re)started some hobbies that involved me getting away from the computer. Started building and flying multicopter/drone (well, ok, this is somewhat tech related, but not sitting in front of the notebook all the time), cycling, taking long walks, geocaching, ...

I started feeling better and I think that I found a good mixture of "both worlds". I usually look at the top page of HN once a day (before I was constantly refreshing the newest-section), have a new Twitter with a good mixture of tech- and non-tech-people. And I usually stay away from the computer in my free-time.

I don't feel like I'm missing anything. The important topics will reach me eventually (maybe through colleagues). So I might not be on the forefront of everything that's going on. But who really needs this? I thought, I did. Now I know, I don't.

edit: Added a sentence about the hobbies that I forgot to put there.
Absolute pitch doesn't tell you the quality of the chord, it only tells you its constituent notes. To know that a chord is minor is simply relative pitch aka ear training.
The first one was easy actually, and the second. Then I took a month off between contracts and it took another two or three months to find the third, and I had a bit of a gap last year when looking for the fourth (where I am now) too.

YMMV. If you're in London it's probably pretty easy. Elsewhere you'll need to be financially prepared for the odd two-three month hiatus.
Can't speak for that poster, but while I've used other people's code for educational purposes I am not aware of a time when I've used someone else's code against its restrictions. And bear in mind that code without a license notice is not a free-for-all, it's restricted until other rights are explicitly granted.

(I have no opinion on this situation nor am I qualified to judge it. Other people have a more fully-formed opinion than I do, and it does sound like it's properly open-sourced anyway.)
