I'm working on this one. Over the last three years I've reduced my 40+ hour week, firstly to 37.5 now down to 36.5 hours. I can't say I'm any more or less productive but on the upside as well I have increased my salary by another £4k in that time too. By and large I'm not a greedy man but my wife has always reminded me that what I do should be for the benefit of my family. That can mean more money but more importantly it is about being around while the kids are young. You can't get that time back.

Could you sum up your personal feelings of games using pixel art over a more cartoony vector art?

Personally I felt that Paper Mario was a lot easier on the eyes than more traditional pixel art games.

No grads worth hiring globally? I don't hire, but that seems a bit rough anecdotally knowing a few.

I had a quick read of some parts, but I'll have to sit down and read it properly tomorrow once the beer has taken its course. I didn't find the bits I browsed particularly revelatory, and focused fairly narrowly on erlang.

Any particular sections you think would turn those unhirable grads into hirable ones?
Sure, it does. In C++, you can declare everything on the heap, then pass pointers by value. In Java, you declare everything on the heap (because you can't declare it anywhere else), then pass pointers by value (because you can't pass classes in any other way).

The only difference is that Java's subset also does not include pointer arithmetic, so this is actually a safe coding practice, because it allows for garbage collection to be performed.
Sounds like cabs need "body" cameras (interior cams that can't be turned off?) as much as cops do. It's an unbelievable shame, and a really terrible indictment of cab drivers' ability to do their job professionally.

I can confirm this. I struggled a lot with making pixel art because I was trying to draw the outline with pixels and would always fail (except for rectangular inanimate objects like boxes and similar).

Then I tried to sketch first and it worked great. Here's the process:

1. draw by hand on paper

2. scan it (I take photos with my phone)

3. scale it down to the size you need

4. draw the outline (make sure two pixels do not touch except diagonally)

5. color with base colors

6. add shading

For steps 5 and 6 make sure you pick a consistent palette beforehand. Something with limited set of colors (say, up to 24) works best.

P.S. You can check the graphics I created this way in my Twitter feed (@mbabuskov). Look for the horse-shaped robot and the spaceship images and see how those look way better than other stuff I drew earlier.
My immediate reaction is, if they hire someone that has great security knowledge, they'll be better placed to compromise mine; their business model seems to be pillaging my data and selling ads, same with Google.

My solution with regards to bad facial detection in OpenCV is to do the following:

1. Use an LBP cascade on the picture. This is lower quality, higher false positives. Uses integer math so this is fast. Its named lbpcascade_frontalface.xml

2. Capture the regions of interest that the LBP cascade identifies with a face and throw into a vector<Mat>. This means you can capture (potentially) arbitrary amount of faces. Of course, with OpenCV you are limited to a minimum of 28px by 28px minimum face.

3. Run the haar cascade for eye detection on the ROI's you saved in the vector. Ones that return eyes show a good match. Haar cascades are slower(because they use floats), but the reduction in pixels means its relatively fast. Its named haarcascade_eye_tree_eyeglasses.xml

I can maintain 20fps with this setup at 800x600 on a slow computer.
New iOS snap app, SNAPD
The principle stands just as it always has.

The Single responsibility Principle (SRP), interfaces, cohesion and coupling are all relevant patterns and techniques that also describe the same design ideas.

The UNIX philosophy is simply one example of the above principles implemented at a user interface level, but they apply equally well in low-level embedded code, and device drivers just as well as in desktop and server land.

Software complexity grows exponentially with the number of internal interactions. by reducing the scope of any given module, you greatly simplify it.
Thinking about, designing and implementing fixed interfaces between small cohesive modules helps this process and you get much more simple (as in the Rich Hickey sense) software as a result.

These same principles pop up all over the place in software, the Unix Philosophy, SRP, Microservices... they're all manifestations of the same thing.

they've decided websites don't deserve to advertise

To be fair to Apple (or to be generous, depending on your point of view) the Safari Content Blocker isn't an ad blocker. It'll block anything you define in a JSON file. If that happens to be ads then so be it, but it could just as easily be malware, or images, or Javascript, or anything served by the government, and so on. If Content Blocker is Apple deciding that websites don't deserve to advertise then so are the developers of NoScript, ImageBlock, FlashBlock, GifBlock, CookieBlock, etc - but most people see those as privacy tools rather than anti-advertising tools.

Obviously people will use Content Blocker it to block adverts, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's Apple attacking the ad industry and Google. Remember that Apple own an ad network of their own, and this feature will hurt that too.
With Music Launch Looming, Apple Still Looking to Sew Up Indie Publishing Deals
Every IaaS provider (Google, Amazon, Azure) has added a code hosting service or will do so in the future. Having your code hosted here will increase lock-in which is the best way for the IaaS provider to increase margins in the future. However, code hosting is not the essence of that GitHub, BitBucket and we at GitLab offer. The essence is code collaboration: mentioning people, doing a code review, activity streams, etc. Getting this right is hard and I wonder if many IaaS providers will get this right.

The code delivery pipeline consists of issues, IDE, code hosting, CI, code review, configuration management, Continuous Delivery (CD) and a PaaS service. Code hosting is a first step and getting all the rest right is a lot of work. Services working on getting the IDE right are Koding, Nitrous.io, Cloud9, CodeAnywhere, Codio and CodeEnvy. And I suspect that GitHub Atom is running in a web-browser so they can effortlessly offer it online in the future. For configuration management you want to integrate with Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt and Docker.

At GitLab we offer CI and CD via GitLab CI. We hope for a multi-cloud future where organizations will deploy to different cloud providers. They will use PaaS software that spans the different IaaS providers. Cloud independent PaaS software offerings are CloudFoundry, OpenStack, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Mesos DCOS, Docker Swarm and Flynn. We want to ensure that GitLab is the best option to do code collaboration upstream from these offerings.
The big problem I've found is serialization of sum types. thrift (or protobuf or any number of similar systems) is very good at serializing most of the data one tends to work with, with declarations that are suitably strict but easy to write. But it doesn't have a good way to represent "this field is an A or a B".

That isn't the argument. Racism, bigotry, exploitation, bullying are all examples of speech that has no place in an enlightened society in my view. Freedom of speech is limited in America too, the rest of us think that if you're going to have limitations, then set limitations which promotes human cooperation and understanding, and excludes speech which only serves to promote violence and the insularization of arbitrary groups.

How is that different from anywhere else where an industry is governed if not protected by government regulation? At one time regulation was meant to give some sense of guarantee of safe and reliable service, now it has become a method to prevent competition.

The number of industries in the United States which are regulated is staggering, I can only imagine the same is true elsewhere. Regulating industries is a good idea but not if it prevents competition. Regulation is meant to protect the consumer, not the business from competition and the need to maintain if not improve service.
I cannot imagine any situation in which I would think "Man, I hate my job. I'd quit right now if it weren't for the enlightened way they do performance review and goal-setting."

Of course that's a little unfair. Maybe doing this stuff well means that employees are less likely to find themselves with nothing important to do, or something. Still, it seems like it's focusing on the wrong things.

If you want to keep good employees, surely you actually want to do things like these: Give them interesting work to do. Give them work that has actual value for the world. Pay them well. Make sure they have good tools. Give them a sense of responsibility for the company's success (which means (1) shares or options and (2) as much clarity as possible about how their work relates to the company's higher-level goals). Make sure there are opportunities for progress.

If tinkering with performance-management makes a big difference, I think that can only be because either before or after the tinkering it was catastrophically broken.
It's effective because they're inside vehicles. If the general public protested from inside vehicles, you'd get the same thing. Of course, numbers matter too.
The rule of composition is an important counterpoint to the rule of diversity. Unix's most important feature is treating everything as a file. That interface allows a lot of freedom in composition, but every process has to conform to exactly the same interface. Perhaps not surprisingly, TCP's stream-based interface has also allowed a great deal of freedom in composition in networks.

>The underpass being isolated from the rest of the map was a feature in my opinion because it gave noobs a space where they only had to worry about what was directly in front of them. It wasn't optimal gameplay but new players liked it.

I only played the game briefly and very unsuccessfully back in the day. Is this what they call camping? I never understood that concept, it seems like basic common sense for shooting others while not getting shot, both in real life and in the game.
Amazing since most of the content I view on Netflix is many years old. That is a market the OTA/cable services seem to have totally ceded at this point in time.

However at the same time I want OTA to prosper because ad supported television is free just like radio and to have content stuck behind paywalls is not my idea of ideal future; one of the reasons I am not happy with Apple's offering which could end ad supported internet radio

Holy cow, that's my USENET posting. Will have to ask my sysadmin to record the HN spike. I do find it funny reading postings here basically saying that, regardless of what Patrick Naughton said, his language is actually based on C++. Those language creators have some nerve! :-) Reminds me of the Kurt Vonnegut scene in Back to School.

Even back in the '90s, when I wrote that as a wee PhD student, it was clear that Java was derivative of Obj-C (among others) much more than C++.

I'd be curious to know if it's still possible to block them, however. The banner itself is outside the document, it's a UI element rendered by the client, similar to a toolbar on a desktop client.

However, it's invoked by a head/meta element within the document, so it may still be possible (eg, when the document is parsed, this element is invoked, and the filter is invoked - which comes first?)

Unfortunately there's enough random forums that offer me an app when I'm only visiting for a one-off google result, that I can see a genuine use-case for this.

I enjoy watching various anime but am by no means into Japanese culture, nor the American culture that is into Japanese culture. However, when I was first introduced to anime by a friend (minus Spirited Away) which was Naruto, I was introduced to the English-subbed versions even though English dubs were available. After watching a few episodes of listening to Japanese and reading the subs, I thought it would be a good idea to skip the effort of reading and watch the English dubbed version instead.

That was a horrible experience. The English dubbed voices seemed to lack passion or say things in the wrong tones (or just be monotone!). Blue Gender immediately comes to mind as another painful English dub experience.

So, that is how my teenage self wound up pirating a lot of anime: because the fansubbing was extremely good and I could pick up on Japanese vocal intonation. I could actually tell what was a joke, and what was anger, instead of wondering when someone would have feelings at all in their English monotone!

In the case of Ergo Proxy, the additional notes in the fansubbing really helped understand the bigger dialogue. Without it I probably would not have held that particular show in has high of a regard.

The only consistent exception to the poor English dubs has been Miyazaki. Heck, Liam Neeson was a voice in Ponyo!

Ahem: you can't falsify banknotes with regular printers and commodity paper well enough to fool an alert human being, but the scanners in some vending machines are another matter. With 7 colour 1200+ dpi inkjets readily available for photo printing, if you could find a vaguely passable source of paper you could do wonders -- and one option forgers have used is to take low value notes and bleach them before overprinting with a higher denomination print pattern. (I think this is the rationale for high-denomination Euro banknotes -- €50 and above -- having embedded RFID chips.)

Is it the Python language or the Python ecosystem you are referring to?

The statement in question is from The Zen of Python and is more of a guiding principle for the design of Python than a rule.

The usual observation with Python is that it can have many libraries and frameworks which are quite similar and choosing one can be hard (e.g. web frameworks). This is a function of popularity and not something which can fairly be subject to that principle.

On a different note: missing is the Zen of Python's following line:
