Also, this logic leans on the notion that people would actually work in a hotel for minimum wage - that's unlikely.
It does have a syntax. It's just hard to find in amongst all the parenthetical shrubbery.
Lyft | Onsite in San Francisco, CA | Engineering & Product

Lyft is hiring for all positions (https://www.lyft.com/jobs), including mobile, frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product roles. We're working on interesting and challenging engineering and product problems to make transportation more efficient and more friendly.

I'm particularly interested in security engineers: security folks who are also strong software engineers, or strong software engineers with an interest in or experience with security. The Lyft security team is just getting off the ground, which means you'll have a lot of responsibility and will be working at all levels of the stack with our other engineering teams to ensure Lyft is secure, trustworthy, and available to keep our users moving.

This position isn't on our jobs site just yet, but I'm happy to talk more about it. If you're interested in working on security at Lyft, please ping me at steve.woodrow@lyft.com.

Photobucket | Denver, CO | Full Time | ONSITE - frequent work-from-home allowed

== Who We Are ==

Photobucket is one of the original photo hosting sites, having been in business since 2003. We are working to reinvent ourselves, solving new problems in photo sharing related to mobile, social networks, and print.

Our engineering teams work using a collaborative, agile, DevOps philosophy to build, deploy, and iterate on new systems quickly and efficiently. You would be joining an Ops team which includes another sysadmin, several DBA's, network engineer, storage engineer, and a small NOC. We're a small, cross-functional group, but you're NOT expected to be a one-person hero working 80 hour weeks. Work/life balance is extremely important to Photobucket.

== What We're Looking For ==

A Senior System Administrator with a strong Linux background and Operations experience supporting a modern medium-to-high traffic web infrastructure.

Here's some of the technologies you'd be working with. None of these is a requirement; experience with some would be great.

* Linux (CentOS/RHEL, Ubuntu)

* OpenStack private cloud

* Config management (any vendor, we happen to use SaltStack)

* Scripting (any language, we write a lot of Python)

* LAMP stack, Java, Tomcat, Varnish

* SAN (any vendor, we currently use NetApp)

* Basic networking, load balancing, CDN

* Software development tools (git, Jenkins CI, automated testing)

* Cisco UCS

* ElasticSearch, LogStash

* Basic database knowledge (we're a MySQL shop)

* Monitoring software (Zabbix/Nagios/New Relic/etc)

If you'd like to hear more, please contact me (Jon) via the email address in my HN profile. Thanks!
>You're being downvoted because you're breaking this rule, not because of your argument.

If that was the case I wouldn't be being upvoted (as I'm, as you said "also rude"), but I am. So I maintain that the downvotes to the parent was for the content (or the content too), not merely the tone.

That said, I take some offense into that I was "rude".

I merely replied in a much kinder tone to the parent comment that wrote "downvote count = a number of people who got no clue what meta language is". That initial tone provoked my response.

When that was shot down with "you got no clue either", I came back with further explanation -- to which I got his response that you commented on.

In any case, apart from the tone, for which I can apologize, do you agree, on the technical and CS side, with what the parent wrote?
The 8086 instruction set was small but it wasn't a RISC instruction set by any means. It only had a few registers and those it had were tied to fixed semantics. It had microcoded instructions. And many of its instructions involved both memory access and arithmatic. Those features were fine in the 70s but in the 80s they were problematic as people started to use pipelining and things like that.

The when you talk about RISC or CISC you're talking about styles of ISA design influenced by the technical constraints of the eras they arose in. ARM's 64 bit design shares a great many elements with the classic RISC design: 32 registers, 32 bit instructions, load-store, no prediction, etc. It's much more similar to the original RISC processor than ARM's 32 bit design was. If I were designing it I would have gone for for 16 registers and a self synchronizing variable length instruction format arranged around 16-bit chunks more like Thumb. But I'm just some dude who did his thesis on computer architecture then hared off and worked on sensors systems - I don't have any real practical experience so I'm not going to claim that I know better than ARM's engineers.

You can certainly claim that ARMv8 is more complex than ARMv7. But I can't see how you can argue that ARMv8 is less RISC like than ARMv7.
The same general sorts of things that are wrong and right with human beings of all types. Hence "romanticizing the goodness of" being observed as the issue.

San Francisco is a union city. They do a lot of building. Too much in my opinion; San Francisco is a small city. I don't think there's a shortage of hotels in San Fancisco? Even in Bubbles(like SF is currently experiencing), I have seen high end hotels leave rooms sit empty. I worked at the Fairmont during one of these booms, and they didn't budge on prices--they just left rooms empty. The twins just didn't need the money? Now shelters for the homeless are another story. SF is one of those city's you can really end up homeless--really fast. Maybe faster than NY? Rents have skyrocketed in SF, and the Bay Area these last few years. I have never seen anything quite like this?
Lol no support for Linux, it's not April Fools anymore guys...
Just for humor reference, 20 years from now there will be thousands of text editors that will have come and gone. But, emacs and vi will still be cranking out code everyday.
Yeah, you're right.

I was thinking more in the frame of mind of the 'listening to the network' than the 'use Starbucks wifi as a wireless AP'.

If you're doing more than listening, then yes- you'll need to broadcast and, with that, you'll open yourself up to being easily tracked down.

the thing i remember most from comp.lang.lisp was someone defining a truly great language as one that could get you to take a job simply to work with it, irrespective of the actual problem being worked on.
London and NYC are significant larger, and have many more tourists per capita. They can probably absorb large events without it making much difference to the average price --s prices increase tourists book the week after, or a slightly different area.

Both also have good public transport, which makes hotels further from the event more appealing. (I don't know SF enough to content on transport there).

There needs to be something akin to Greenspun's Tenth Rule for anonymity:

- "Any sufficiently ambitious anonymity system contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Tor."

Why build hardware when a mature software equivalent of throwing your IP address across the world randomly already exists?
With an open source project, a sufficiently interested third-party has at least the legal right to pick up development of the code base that their work depends on (or to pay the developer of their choice to do so.)

With a closed source project, that's not the case.
All the rich people I know IRL have businesses like this. None are in websites or startups. I know millionaires who don't have an email address. I wish I had gone into one of these fields, the web feels like the most saturated place on the planet right now.
Well, I think your thoughts on the dark side of human desire and how it relates to fiction are very close to my own. I don't think the article is even close to probing those questions. The article is just drawing a very lazy comparison but not digging any deeper than that, insinuating that there's something specifically about this kind of "return of the king"-narrative that can inspire something like ISIS. I think that's turning the cause and effect backwards, and it's shallow. It's the "dark side of the deep human desires" as you say that inspires these fictions, not vice versa.
What is saddening is that the one group of people that should take interest in it, economists, show very little such. Instead they "honor" the creator by using another, more questionable, creation of his, the Phillips curve.

And to call Phillips an economist with an engineering bent is highly inaccurate. He was educated as an engineer, but later on picked up a interest in economics.

And what seems to be a repeating pattern with engineers getting involved with economics, their worst work in the field is what ends up enduring in economic theory (the mentioned curve only really holds up under very specific circumstances)...
I think I've spent at least 50% of my career either contributing to or dismantling one Fowler-inspired disaster or another, so I hear you. That said people are fallible and should generally get credit for changing their minds about things.
I use Pushpin for all of my stuff (but of course I am biased as its lead developer :)).

In almost all cases I combine it with Django.

I think he articulated his thoughts about suicidal depression with incredible lucidity in Infinite Jest. This passage is etched in my memory. It haunts me and in a way I found it a bit of a relief that despite ongoing depression issues, I could not relate:

“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”
SEEKING WORK - Remote or Near Chicago/Indianapolis

Looking for short- to medium-term contracts (1 day to 3 months) that are ready to ramp up within the next few weeks.

I'm a full-stack developer with over a decade of programming experience. My primary platforms have been Python/Flask, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, C#/.NET, PHP, and C++. In my spare time I program with Clojure and Python, and I would love to use these technologies specifically.

I can handle most roles but am most efficient on the backend, with a sprinkling of supplemental UI/UX development.

I've spent time in finance, GIS/mapping, and telecom, and have worked on project-based contracts and as a freelancer for startups, mid-sized companies, non-profits, and universities, both on-site and remotely.

I always feel it's my duty to chime in whenever the subject of original MMORPGS comes up-- anybody remember Meridian 59? Y'know the mmorpg that came out BEFORE Ultima online?

A great many people love UO because it's organic feeling community (and I'm one of em ), but nothing tops the experience of interacting with people in an online game for the first time. Checkout an article I wrote about it awhile back: http://mmocadet.com/being-a-rookie-for-the-100th-time/
There's a difference between discussion regarding /a/ more in-depth system framework and discussion regarding a specific system framework. One of the constant things written about in these threads though is that they /don't/ want something "systemd-like" because it is such an intrusive, obstinate framework. I see some good ideas coming from the systemd framework, however, its consistent choice of poor defaults and byzantine structure leave me desiring something of a bit more lucid vision.

I wonder how the analysis was done. San Francisco has a very different "hotel" presence than other cities I've been in. Here are just a few unique things:

* SF is one of the few cities I've ever been in where you will see motels in populous city areas. Normally you'd think in such a crowded city having a huge parking lot on your property would be foolish, but it seems to be popular. Off the top of my head I can think of 2 motels in the Marina/Cow Hollow area and 2 more in Soma, both of which are neighborhoods with insanely high real estate prices.

* In the areas in/around the Tenderloin there are a huge number of "hotels" that are basically extended stay residences for people who can't afford any apartment in SF. They're a few hundred bucks a month and feature tiny, often dirty rooms with shared bathrooms and no kitchen. However they're all called "____ Hotel" so they'd appear in any blind analysis of the city.

Fair enough. I moved to the UK in 2008 and only have limited experience of Gordon Brown's government, so I accept that I'm wrong on this one. Thanks for being civil.
