Working on the older CPUs is more approachable to understanding all the low level details plus it makes you appreciate all that the newer CPUs offer. However when actually working, I don't think one should work with an older CPU unless it really makes sense (sufficient computer power, low power requirements, etc.) Working with a powerful CPU lets you focus on the job at hand instead of the idiosyncrasies.
It's grossly simplistic to assume that a single person is somehow responsible for deliberately designing a known-to-be deficient system. Hindsight is always 20:20 and safety is one of those things that improves over time as accidents occur and measures are taken to prevent their reoccurance. Just think of how many safety features a modern car has: were 1980's cars criminally unsafe - no, they simply hadn't yet incorporated lessons yet to be learnt and technologies yet to be invented.

There's a huge grey area too, as workers often ignore safety rules or bypass them to save time. An accident with a machine might be due to a worker failing to operate it correctly or to double-check that some mechanism is correctly engaged. It might be the fault of a mechanic who has incorrectly maintained the machine. It might be a flaw in the design of the machine, which could not be foreseen. It might be a fault with the machine due to a supplier, e.g. inferior bolts. It might be the fault of a fellow worker, who forgot to perform a safety check - should we throw them in jail? Whatever the case, the employer should compensate the worker - and do so justly - but the issue of the employer's criminal responsibility is complex indeed.

From a legal standpoint it's vital to distinguish between someone who unwittingly designs something unsafe, having followed reasonable and standard practice versus someone who is negligent and actively ignores the safety of others. Criminal negligence exists and is prosecuted, but it's important to realise that accidents can and do happen.
> If people were mocking him - more men would be mocking him for the second statement that they are "irresistible" to women

The offensive part that is being mocked was not the description that women fall in love with men or vice versa.

The offensive part was that both of those were described by Hunt as parts of his "problem with girls...when they are in the lab".

That is, Hunt says:

1. Women fall in love with men (implicitly, to the detriment of the function of the lab) => problem with women

2. Men fall in love with women (implicitly, to the detriment of the function of the lab) => problem with women

I really wouldn't have any issues with (temporarily) disconnecting them, or alternatively fining them. GLBX should definitely be able to do both of those.

If that language is in their contracts, then sure. Such penalties might not be made public, however, or there may be different enforcement mechanisms in place. The internet (and all global commerce, really) functions anyway.

Of course best case scenario would involve Malaysian government intervention.

Given how often "Malaysian government intervention" entails unconscionable violence, I cannot agree.

The governments that control where workers actually manufacture things, however, either ban, co-opt, or brutalize unions.

It's no coincidence that China is a manufacturing capital of the world, and all independent unions are banned.

In Mexico, where this woman had her hands ripped away from her, unions are theoretically allowed to organize and participate in strike actions. In fact, though, all worker activism has to be approved by the local government, which is more often than not in a corrupt alliance with local businesses.
It's cool that these challenges are so functional programming oriented, but I'd be a little bit concerned that the terminology might throw off some otherwise-skilled web developers who aren't used to operating at such a theoretical level. That problem would be compounded with definitions like "A thunk is basically a function that you call with just the callback as a parameter," in the challenge instructions (IMO that's a very layman definition for such a technical question).

You made it specious, putting words in their mouth. They claim that, of the things they eat, plants and animals are morally equivalent. You added "but People!"

I still remember the first time I got to prove Pythagora's on my own, or the formula for the volume of a pyramid. It felt so awesome that I still long today for a math course where you start from zero and the teacher just guides you into figuring stuff out yourself, one by one (Pythagora's, Pi, formulas for volume, etc).
> Not to mention the complete lack of journalistic ethics on Kotaku. They frequently post articles about games they have financial or personal ties to, without disclosure.

Um, ahem, hackers, downvoters, internetizens, lend me your ears. Or eyes, fuck it.

Let's assume for a second that GamerGate is awful. Some nontrivial proportion of the "movement" are bigoted trolls who threaten people over the internet, violate their privacy, and drag down the tenor of discourse on messageboards they inhabit.

But consider that just maybe Kotaku actually has a pretty bad policy about conflicts of interest. How is someone supposed to post about this? 'Zikes didn't mention GamerGate. He didn't claim to support the movement or try to whitewash people's actions. All he did was to complain about article quality on a website which, for the record, I haven't read in months and have no opinion of (the only videogame I still play is Super Smash Brothers).

Are we so tribal that simply expressing a view associated with a dishonorable group of people leads to some downvote-heavy flamewar about them? As I clicked "reply", 'Zikes's comment was black. When the textbox had loaded, he was downvoted into the grey. Calm down, people.

Charming story -- but there's plenty of controversy that comes with it. Some Canadian mathematicians ran their own analysis in 2014 and published it in Chance magazine, arguing that Johnson's winning prospects weren't nearly good enough under the terms described for him to have been likely to have achieved such scores. The full article is behind a $48 paywall, but here's a link to the start of it: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09332480.2014.890...

Meanwhile, Elliot Jacobson, a guy with his own academic pedigree (U of Arizona Ph.D. in math; former Ohio University asst/assocmath professor) has published a defense of Johnson's claims and a counter-rebuttal to the Canadians. Jacobson now runs a gambling-consulting firm. His rebuttal is here:

If you are going to update it would be a good idea to use weights in gram or kilogram rather than the volume of ill defined cups and vague quantities such as not too large. Then everyone could enjoy them without having to scour the web for equivalent measures. Similarly for Fahrenheit, it might have been modern in 1724 but most of the world has moved on.
This is great! I was thinking about building my own drone, but was having trouble finding a starting point.
Agreed, but interestingly this time around folks are all using cloud services it seems so no server hardware to snap up, although I did get a dozen Herman-Miller office chairs for $100 (total not each) at a place that liquidated dead dot com assets last time, and cool office stuff is still in vogue.
I still don't completely see why it'll be $2M, unless that's the total cost including the service contract for the system's lifetime. I mean, the hardware and installation labor can't be that expensive, right?
Seems understandable to me, but you're right that "are" would be a better verb in that position than "has". I suspect that the original headline started with "Which nation in the world has". A competent editor would have elided "in the world" rather than changing "Which nation" to "Where".
There are some projects to start bring FOSS ideas/ideals to building system controls and decision making like this, but I think there are significant difficulties in the variety of proprietary systems and reluctance to change due to capital costs and/or maintenance contracts.

Native english speaker, and the title does sound a bit weird, though I haven't looked up any authority on whether it's technically correct or not.

Depending on the nature of the control that you have over the site, you might need to get the hosting provider to do it for you (some of them are probably going to integrate Let's Encrypt) or you might be able to make the changes manually to prove control of the domain.

If people think of useful integration features for particular platforms, we can take patches, or those platform developers can write their own clients. :-)
Not that hard! One trick is to move to a cheaper part of the world, I'm currently spending most of my time in Madrid which is a lot cheaper than my old home of London, so socialising is easy financially. The tougher problem has been pushing through and continuing when the usage has decreased for 2 months in a row, but things always seem to turn around and improve, and as long as things are moving in the right direction long term, I have a roof over my head, and enjoy what I'm doing, I don't see the point in stopping. (My thoughts may change slightly in the coming months since we have a baby on the way!)

I've honestly never seen one of my comments swing so wildly or so quickly. I've seen -4 and +9 within minutes of each other, and it seems to be on a different side of 0 every time I refresh.

It's certainly a polarizing topic.
I don't know that it would matter whether it could have actually been demonstrated, in court, that the airlines were liable for the losses. With 3,000 grieving families looking for someone to blame, and any number of lawyers looking to cash in if they could get the airlines found liable, suits would have been filed, and the airlines would then have been obligated to defend those suits, which would have hit them hard with legal expenses, discovery expenses, and so forth, right when people were unlikely to be buying tickets, being afraid of another attack. How bad would the damage have been? There's no way to know; if it didn't destroy the airlines, it could easily have wounded them greatly.
How is creating unnecessary jobs a better idea?

Even with the public works projects of the New Deal era, there were still a lot more unskilled workers than there was work to be done. That didn't change until WWII, and we definitely don't need another one of those.

I love node, don't get me wrong there are frustrating parts to it like any language, but overall it has been super productive after you get past the learning curve. Coming from Python you will have little trouble, and the learning curve isn't too bad if you have a reasonable handle on javascript. For node there are a ton of libraries, code snippets and modules that are available, way more today than even just a few years ago. Searching npm is a good start and from there most people link directly to their code on github so you can see how things are done.

As for debugging, I use Webstorm as an IDE and I can set breakpoints, walk thru code and do all the normal things you would in an IDE environment. I personally still use vim at times to when I am doing simple things and don't need to fire up the IDE, but all our node projects are in Webstorm just because it speeds up development. I also still dump a bunch of stuff to the console when I am debugging just because I am weird that way, plus in some cases I found it is faster than debugging code sections where timing can be different every run.

Some learning curve issues. Remember node is event driven, code is not necessarily synchronous when you read it top down. Callbacks wind up getting deep and ugly if you aren't careful, generally IMO when I see too many callbacks nested it is either a place where promises should be used or even more likely it is a place that just is trying to do too much and screams for breaking steps up. There are some modules to familiarize yourself with too that you will use a lot, async immediately comes to mind in addition to the express series.

As for our user module, no we haven't open sourced it or even written it up externally yet, but I think I might do one or both soon. Honestly passportjs is a great little module from all that I know, but when we started writing our systems we evaluated it and just didn't feel it fit what we were doing. Today that decision might be different if we had to start over.

In general, our systems use MongoDB for the database, Mongoose for schema's and then we rolled our own authentication, utilities and errors. We use winston for logging as it works well and gives us a ton of flexibility. As part of our middleware too, we added methods to the request object to allow us to simply call our api backend, so we have an apiGet, apiPut, apiPost, apiDelete. These handle all the complexity of calling the API and remove a lot of headaches and in turn makes the code way easier to debug and far cleaner.
I pay to use the Google Translate API, it works very well for popular languages to/from English. Other language combinations aren't so great.
Not sure why you were downvoted because you're absolutely right. People forget that Gitmo isn't the only place the US keeps prisoners extrajudicially. The CIA operates numerous "secret sites" around the world where all kinds of terrible shit happens.
Imagine a society where every business posted a list on the front door of the types of people and things that were not allowed inside. Imagine then if you had to spend half your time going through all the possible ways you might not be allowed into a business.

Oh, one of your friends is a minority? Gotta find another restaurant. But then they don't like people with long hair. Ok, no problem. But then the next one doesn't like men. What do you do? I guess you could make an app for that... List all your characteristics, and your friend's characteristics, and generate a list of places that you're allowed into.

Aside from causing social friction, I would think that it might also cause economic friction.

A completely "tolerant" (as you put it) society would be a very difficult one to deal with. I don't think it would last long.

It would mostly be all the contractor and subcontractor costs. I'd say they need at least a couple of electricians, which are usually unionized and charge plenty (I have no issues with unions, it just costs more). The plumbers, because you can't hack into a wall without hitting a water pipe. Then the HVAC people, who have different sub specialties. Then the people who do the cement/wood/boarding. Not including the inspectors...

Might come across as quite unbelievable for modern day western folks but that's basically exactly what also happens in China and in general East Asian countries. Totally archaic in the modern world and can become extreme hinderances for frank discussions, collaboration and productivity. Fortunately young people are gradually getting rid of those s especially among themselves but it's sometimes quite bad that many people of previous generations are still emphasizing those as civilized etiquettes, while in fact it only breeds hypocrisy and miscommunication. This is also an example of misunderstandings and conflicts between generations: some mundane members of older generations simply don't really understand the more modern ideals of young people, and from incomprehension stemmed suspicions and fear, which is unfortunate and laughable. Some of them are also realizing the issue for sure but the number is still small. The sooner it's gone in our culture the better. I guess it takes time though just as it probably did in other places in the world. Culture changes are always a kind of behind the socio-economic changes.
Right; its a new world. Today Hoover Dam would be built by large machinery plus very skilled operators. Not by a mob of folks hauling cement around.

There will be less and less room in this brave new world for unskilled labor. Either accept that a lot of people will never work again, or as you suggest, another WWII.

Back to an earlier conversation here on HN at the time I didn't know any degreed developers who couldn't find work in the Bay Area. Yes, there was a surplus which held down wages, but part of that was mitigated by the fact that a lot of people with H1b visas ended up having to leave. It did put a stop to the folks with 2 years of experience out of college demanding "Chief Architect" type titles/roles.

If this is a bubble (and I share the feeling that it is) when it pops we'll all get to add "I was there when ..." to our lexicon of stories. It is a unique time/situation so be especially observant of things going on around you to get your own sense of how these things play out. The dot com bubble/crash gave me a much better sense of business value versus business flash, and a better personal take on the difference between being wealthy and being rich.

>One of the common one is to upload a certain file at a certain address of that domain.

I wonder if this can be socially engineered/tricked to gain a certificate for someone else's domain. Like, I've seen at least one service (Majestic Seo) that asks you to upload a document to your domain to get certain services. Now that this (will soon) exist, any such service that someone uses can generate a cert and MITM the site.

Also, if they're verifying over http, couldn't anyone just mitm the verify connection? Well, anyone with access to any computer along the route between Let's Encrypt and whatever domain they want.
Without the help from China at that time, no way Polpot could get that far. After Vietnamese troops helped capture Phnom Penh (and gave back to Kampuchean United Front), China decided to invaded the Vietnam-China border in order to "punish" Vietnam. Yet so far, only Cambodia publicly supports China in their claim of almost the whole East Sea.
