And yet engineers wonder why we are thrown into open offices like cattle and compensated with foosball tables and Mountain Dew. We are skilled professional workers. How about starting with some self-respect? Grow up and put on a collared shirt at least. (NOTE: This is not directed at the parent commenter...I'm just ranting in general)

I wonder if there would be anything you could say at that point to get them to follow through (without implying any intent to exploit obviously).

I couldn't imagine a better boost to a security professionals career than getting sued over finding a very serious vulnerability and disclosing it in entirely good faith, only to get sued for the deed. It's outrageous enough to make headway online, you'd never actually face any repercussions, and your name would be everywhere due to the story.
I've been using iBank [1] for a couple of years now. It's able to pull data from different banks, import CSV, and other format. It has many other features that I'm not using. It's not a hosted solution so everything is on your machine.

For me the only missing feature of iBank is the limited support for charts and reports (it has quite a few predefined that you can customize, but creating new ones is not supported).

No association with the company behind iBank.

Update: iBank is OS X only afaik.

It is interesting how a country with a lot of seemingly positive aspects -- abundant natural resources and fresh water, temperate climate, stabile economy and low unemployment, and great infrastructure -- cannot convince its citizens to procreate, whereas a country like Yemen with little in development is exploding in population (doubling every 20 years).

When given the choice, it seems humans have children more out of necessity than desirability.
I'm liking vim/tmux for Ruby, but for Android Java, so far, the AS plus IdeaVim combo seems nicer than anything I've put together with vim and tmux. Project-wide autocomplete and auto-adding imports plus the debug support is such a time-saver.
What does it mean to be a Software Engineering Lead?
I'm getting the sense that maybe the groups I work with just have a bit of "secret sauce" going on here. Clearly, it works quite well for us, without the problems being expressed/experienced by other folks here... but just as clearly, I'm not communicating it effectively.

In any case, this thread is starting to feel toxic to me, so I'm not all that interested in getting even deeper into it by answering your questions, even though I do appreciate the respectful and helpful way in which you asked. Thanks for that.

But this may be a topic better addressed another day, using a different venue.
My business has bank accounts in four countries, and none of these banks provides a scriptable way to access transaction data.

My current solution is to manually download data from each acount for processing, but when I get some play time I want to see how the bank apps communicate, and attempt to turn this into an API. Anyone had any success with this approach?
This just sounds like another example of the euphemism treadmill.[0]

Here's an interesting article from 5 years ago about a NYC agency with "retarded" in the name which refused to remove the word [1]

The answer isn't as cut and dried as "professionals say so."

Fun fact: you can also take the bus (IDBUS) under the channel. There is literally no security: chuck your luggage in the back, show 'em your ticket PDF, and off you go. Not as cushy or fast as a train, but hey — Brussels to London for €30 ain't bad.
Of course. Give the packagers a bit of time.
Anything he could find out from a visit is entirely irrelevant to the constitutional issues at question.
I'm not trying to make a value judgement, but isn't this sort of counter to how English is typically spoken? Adjectives usually come before the subject, for instance, one would say "look at that red car" and not... well I don't even really know how to organically word it any other way... "look at that car which is red" I guess. The latter sentence sounds very awkward to me.
Trains have the advantage of being in city centres too where light rail and buses are concentrated.
What do you expect him to learn from such a visit?
Take a look at Weboob (http://weboob.org). It's an attempt to create a well-defined uniform API for websites lacking one. I wrote a few modules for it, and they're scraping 4 banks and 4 shops on a daily basis for last few months.

As I see it, upside of this approach is that you can scrape pretty much everything you can open in your browser.
Downside is that you have to update your scraper every time website changes. From my personal experience this happens at least once a month.

I'm as liberal as they come but I will be voting for Rand Paul if he ends up with the Republican nomination. This is one issue where I will be a one issue voter.

Bernie Sanders seems like a great candidate, but I fear he is too reasonable and conciliatory to do what is necessary to properly reign in the entrenched interests of the military/intelligence industrial complex. At this point it seems like nothing short of a campaign of slash-and-burn against these agencies will get the job done, and it's going to take someone as "nutty" as a Paul to do it.
Birth rate is rarely the correct metric because it is affected by longevity. The metric most people are interested in is fertility rate, where Germany still has a long way to go to pass Singapore. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...
The Resurrection of Customer Context
Did anyone else catch the doctor mentioning that the boy recently asked for a mojito?

It's a bit surprising that a 14 year old would ask for alcohol in a country where the drinking age is 18. But hey, it's Italy, perhaps there significantly more relaxed about kids drinking than Americans like me!
Developed countries offer alternative life goals. This, education and entertainment provide enough reasons not to have a family. Lower birth rate is a good thing in the long term, and getting non-developed countries into developed stage will accomplish that. See Gates' yearly letters.
And for those who don't regularly swim in open water, that's f*g cold.
I should be able to file a bug on this if one hasn't been filed already.
Simple example:

You have two teams that work on different systems. A feature needs to be built that crosses the two systems. Do you:

a) Build a temporary team with 2 developers from each team.

b) Create a spec and hand it to Team 1. Team 1 adds an API for Team 2 to consume. Team 2 gets the API spec from Team 1 and integrates.

In situation (a), it's likely your solution will blur the line between system 1 and system 2. The solution will be very specific and implementation details on each side will be blurred together influencing the result.

In situation (b), it's likely that the API on system 1 is more generic and less coupled to the implementation details of system 2.

Situation (a) is generally faster to market. Situation (b) is generally easier to maintain, but can be much, much slower.

A specific example I've seen recently is a web server written in C doing string manipulation and a javascript client consuming data from this API.

If I'm working closely with the frontend developer, I'm going to say "How about I send you the data raw, and you split on this sequence". Splitting in javascript is much simpler than strtok_r and as a bonus I offload the processing to the client. From a development standpoint, it takes 2 minutes to coordinate.

If I'm not working with the frontend team, then I'm probably going to go through the trouble of doing the string manipulation server side.

Does that make sense? (not the design itself, but as an explanation of how communication influences design).

Bernie Sanders does appear much more consistent than Hillary; and he unlike Hillary has talked of dismantling the NSA. I'm afraid he won't make the Democratic nomination.

The other republicans seem like a bunch of idiots. It's likely that Hillary will come to power. She does seem to have the money for it.
I would still get in a world of trouble if I said human children are an inferior good.

Magic-as-a-technology has been popular in the sci-fi/fantasy genres for novels for the past ten, twenty years. I remember when it started getting popular, and I thought, "this is awesome."

It's not so awesome anymore, not for me at least.

Magic as a consequence of shifts in consciousness and awareness, as in, how you perceive and experience reality rather than any set of manipulable and repeatable forces -- that's something more interesting. I've been seeing one or two indie authors writing in this space, listing their works for the under $5 bin at Amazon.

Now how to portray that in a game? That's more difficult. One of the games I remember that have done something like this is Bastion. It wasn't necessarily part of the game mechanic, though. It was the way the narration unfolded as a reaction to your actions that started changing experiences. Another is Batman: Arkem Asylum. Another one that comes to mind is Ninja Pizza Girl, though it wasn't intended as a game on magic. It does have the shifts in consciousness though.

I expect to see a lot more of this when immersive VR/AR gets more popular. It's very easy to start messing with frames and breaking out of them in ways that will seem mildly trippy.

Still, I've got some ideas of my own, and they are implementable even with a 2-D, top-down game.
Octave-Forge (http://octave.sourceforge.net/) is kind of a necessity to bring Octave closer to parity with Matlab, since a lot of the reason (at least for me) to use Matlab in the first place (as opposed to Python+Numpy+Scipy+... or Julia or in some cases R) is the wide variety of useful packages for whatever domain you're in...
The medical term is "reperfusion injury".

Yeah, I don't really think people would argue scala doesn't make sense for web dev. I think the main is that webdev can generally tolerate GC and it's not worth giving it up.
He's got a shot in the way anyone who declares a candidacy and meets the legal requirements has a shot. If you're talking about odds of getting the nomination (let alone winning the general), then he's got basicly zero chance.
The window for 'trying' is longer for kids (that's based on more than just emotion though... kids are a lot more resilient).

Italian here, and yes Italy is way more relaxed about drinking than the USA. I can't speak for the whole country, but where I'm from underage drinking is not really considered a big deal. Frowned upon yes, but that's about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_temperature_management and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Sun_medical_device have some details.
He doesn't have a shot. But he deserves a tremendous amount of praise for making it one of his hallmark issues. He'll raise the visibility of it and force his competitors to comment.

Maybe, just maybe, one of his competitors will listen and be forced to adjust.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add this in. There is a connection between the tendency to treat magic as a system, and modernity. See Ken Wilber's writings about that.
Except for being rather opportunistic with a women who has been extorted for sex (probably, depending on some unknowns) by one man and then physically and verbally abused by another.
I've never really treated my photos like special data that require an interface beyond my OS. I keep them in an encrypted folder on my backup drive, on my laptop and on my cloud service.

Maybe it's different if you have kids or something... but my folks only have about 60 photos of my entire youth and that's 40 too many.
What harm is there in hearing what they've got to say? If it's bullshit, then it's bullshit.

Refusing to take a day to head down and see their presentation isn't a principled stand, it's being concerned with your brand.

Better to wait until the EU referendum to find out in what direction the public wants to proceed. Quite a few generations have grown up with no real say on the topic.
Bugs Everywhere
The thing is, all projections are wrong in some sense. That's an unavoidable fact when transposing between flat surfaces where the angles in triangles always add up to 180 degrees, and triangles on curved surfaces where they don't.

For instance, on a flat plane, given a straight line with two lines perpendicular (i.e. both at 90 degrees), those two lines will be parallel, and will not form a triangle with the base. But on a globe, two lines of longitude that are both at 90 degrees to the equatorial line will nevertheless converge at the pole. Depending on how far apart they are, the sum of the angles in a triangle on a curved surface can approach 360 degrees.

What this means is that it's mathematically impossible to express triangles that work on a curved surface using triangles that work on a flat plane, because the latter is limited in ways that the former is not. In other words, in going from curved figures to flat ones, you're going to have to distort something.

Your three choices are shape, distance, and direction. The more a projection preserves one, the more it's going to have to distort another. Some projections try to strike a balance, others focus on one aspect at the expense of another.

The Mercator - which was originally designed for mariners - opted to preserve direction, and did so at the expense of shape, and, to a lesser degree, distance. So instead of a map where the distance between degrees varies at different points on the map, Mercator provides uniform measures of degree at every point. That means you can pick a location on the map, draw a straight line to your desired destination, note the angle formed by that line and magnetic and / or polar north, then set a course along that bearing with full confidence that you'll arrive where you want to. As far as direction goes, Mercator is absolutely correct.

To visualize how this works, see this Wikipedia article showing Tissot's Indicatrix on a sphere, then see this Esri writeup and note that on a Mercator, all the indices are perfect circles.

Yes, the relationship of italians with alcohol is significantly different than the one in english-speaking countries. Much more "sane" and relaxed, I'd dare to say.

Alcohol isn't a social problem and it's tolerated for young people to drink (or to smoke weed) despite not being yet 18 - at least in Milan.
I often hear such claims from BSD users.
You confuse a 6'4" black drag queen with a 15th century Italian priest?
Some things to be aware of if this article is inspiring to you:

1. You have to be especially careful with ECDH that the points you receive from your counterparty are valid for the specific domain parameters you're using, or else you can open yourself up to attacks. For this reason among others, cryptographers are converging on modern curves specifically designed to make it easier and safer to communicate points; Curve25519 is an "early" example of such a modern curve.

2. There's an emerging consensus that ECDSA is unsafe, due to its dependency on a random nonce. That nonce is surprisingly hard to get right: it needs to be a full-width number, with that width defined by the curve parameters, for which all the bits are unpredictable. This is an even stricter requirement than a CBC IV or a CTR nonce. Single-digit bit biases in ECDSA nonces have been exploited to recover keys!

Very few people write their own elliptic curve core code; most modern systems either use Nacl, or pilfer Curve25519 from it.
You just filed it ;-) We'll fix this soon for local photos.
Don't you have protocols for this? Is it entirely up to individual preparation for how long (and how) you 'try'?
Indeed you are right. "Sally is a person with autism" is admittedly a mouthful and seems counterintuitive.

The difference between Sally and the car is that the car is an object, and Sally is a human being whose neurological differences are often stigmatized.

Does anyone know if the Horses are related to the question of Ashva in Rig-Veda; I hear the Aryan theory is based very much on this.
People don't always seek their party's nomination because they think they can win. Paul, I think, is too far away from mainstream thought and run of the mill corruption to be able to raise the money to win his party's nomination.

Think of all the people running for the Republican slot, this time and last time. Most of them know they have no chance.

They might just want to influence the debate, and move whoever wins closer to a position that they want.

Or they may be looking for book deals and talk show employment.

Or it might just be a way to enjoy good food for 18 months.

Or maybe they just have a huge ego and like to stand in front of cheering people.

+1 for trains, one of the best ski trips I went on involved London St Pancras to the south of france via train, roamed around, took pretty unlimited baggage, a real pleasure (even at around 8 hours) - would not fly again (2hr flight + travel, security etc).
That was my initial reading too, but after talking to my wife (who also MJRS), I start wondering if Robin and John should be swapped. Robin may not have been right to be angry, but it is probably not all that surprising - he's undergone a traumatic experience (imprisonment), and then found out that he's been cuckolded by the same man who'd imprisoned him.

If he's still irreconcilably pissed a few days later, well sure, screw him. But that he acts out initially - not great, but not that surprising. Shouldn't John be trying to help his friend save his relationship, rather than suddenly running off with Marion as soon as there's an opportunity?

Marion is unambiguously blameless (although running off with John without giving Robin a chance to clear his head seems flighty), and the Sheriff completely irredeemable - by any reasonable standard he coerced Marion in to having sex, and then derelicted his duty by releasing two people he'd imprisoned based on a bribe.

You're given the opportunity to read through the mini personality assessments for all answers - whoever wrote them has some severe projections and prejudices.
+1 on thinkpads. Been using a X230 for three years on Linux Mint. Used a T410 on Ubuntu before that. Aside from the very rare fail on wake from a suspend, it's been great.
Is a normal consequence on the poverty fuelled by the policies of those last years, probably. You can not expect that people think too much about having babies whereas struggling to live on microjobs. No real jobs, lots of cats and dogs. No real new babies.
Nice. It looks like that PDF is made from the full-size images from http://thestandardsmanual.com/. I was about to extract them myself until you pointed to this PDF. Thank you.

He represents a certain ideological constituency which will sustain his campaign as a means of getting their ideas heard. If the US were a parliamentary system, then he and his ideological fellows could form a party that would have a decent shot at getting enough votes to form a coalition-of-legislators with another larger party.

The US is however not a parliamentary system so coalition-building happens at the voter level rather than the legislator level. Many libertarians are forming a coalition-of-voters with the Republican party and by supporting Rand Paul are hoping to shift the Republican party libertarian-ward. He does not however currently represent a large enough ideological constituency that he would be able to form a coalition-of-voters large enough to actually be elected president.

I'm curious what you thought of Ron Paul's candidacy.
There's not enough information.

It's a 'morality' test. You should ask "which morality"?

If we agreed on the code of conduct (procedure) to use, we could agree on a score for each.

Notice that two persons with the same ranking could have come from different scores (i.e. person A: (25,13,7,1=JRMS) vs Ranking from person B: (-1,-7,-10,-40=JRMS)). And this is just in the one-dimensional morality score system.

The test is mapping an infinite set of scores to a set of 24 choices, and then using those choices to criticize the chooser.

It appears that he wrote a parametrized game of life simulator. Not particularly mathematical. Not particularly general, either; the three numbers are extracted as parameters (so still a square grid in two dimensions, where persistence is based on counting immediate neighbors).

What do you do when you receive a new Mac? I just ordered my MBPr and I'm looking forward to not dealing with Cygwin anymore. I can't find a similar ask HN thread from less than a year ago, so I'm asking what you put, in terms of software (and hardware/accessories too) on your Mac?
As far as I know he is pro-states rights when it comes to abortion and gay marriage. That is, he supports a weak federal government and the right of states to make these decisions.

But either way, the issue of unconstitutional surveillance, and the entrenched interests in favor of it, is by far the single most important issue facing this country. I will be casting my vote with this fact in mind.

It is absurd to judge someone's commitment to liberal ideals by how they weigh the relative importance of issues.

I believe that the acceptance of neurodiversity will — over a long period of time — phase out the very idea of ASD. In that sense, I see the similarities between the language debate going on here and the debate of "idiot", "moron", etc.

My point was not to make an argument that blindly follows known authority, but to let it be known that research finds that the majority of people prefer (consciously and subconsciously) person-first terminology.
