1) Superior installability (and in recent releases, update-ability). This doesn't preclude others from making something better, but WP makes incredible ease of installation/deployment (including of themes, plugins, updates, etc.) "table stakes." That's a genuine "barrier to market entry" for any contender. IME, nothing else comes close to WP installability. There are some glitches around updates (esp. if themes and such have been customized), but updates are also increasingly smooth/automatic.

2) Momentum, inertia, market position, "path dependence," installed base, and community. Also not a show-stopper for those wishing to improve on WP technically, but a huge hurdle to cross for anyone wishing to encourage investment in alternatives. Large user bases create virtuous cycles of investment and improvement that fix previously broken things. Sure, it may not always be pretty, but WP now how has WYSIWYG editors, versioning, increasingly automated updates, ever improving admin features, and many other things that were hopeless in previous versions.

3) LCD. WP works on virtually all platforms, and is a credible lowest common denominator in terms of technology used (PHP, MySQL) and breadth of support. There have been some attempts to ramp up alternatives, but they often require one to use Ruby on Rails, Python and Django, or other less-LCD tech.

4) Chicken and egg problem. I have no doubt that at some point another CMS/publishing platform will arise to supersede WP. It's the nature of tech things. It's unlikely we'll all be using WP in 2025 or 2045. But as a developer who definitely wants a more elegant, extensible CMS platform, and who has the tech skills to jump languages and environments, I've never found a better alternative to invest in/build on. There are frameworks like Rails, Flask, Django, Meteor, etc. we might use for custom apps. But a built-out, reasonably-supported, rich CMS / web publishing environment? I haven't found an alternative I can credibly present to customers, co-developers, and designers as an up-and-coming, likable, very-likely-to-succeed platform we should build on. Linux over historical Unix, nginx over Apache, or Go over C or C++? Sure. There is no general-purpose X I could broadly recommend over WordPress.
My point was that "quantum computer" sounds like a scary apocalypse scenario, but isn't. It makes key exchange awkward but by no means impossible.

We already know that GCHQ has an underground level full of conventional computers. That's a lot scarier.

Gower Street Analytics - Front End/UI Engineer.

We are focused on growing the global box office market by 4-5% by using data
science to optimize release strategies.

We started in March and have already partnered with a major hollywood studio and a UK cinema
chain. We've also secured significant investment.

You'll be helping us design and implement apps and static & interactive reports
for our film studio partners. These apps might vary from:

* a mobile-friendly app to illustrate the relationship between a film and
its competition,

* a static LaTeX report to capture changes in the market.

But as we're a brand new company, you'll have the ability to define the roll
yourself. You should be comfortable in JS/CSS and be able to confidently tell
us which frameworks we should be using and why.

We'd especially like to talk to you if you have an interest in film, journalism,
or data visualization.

Your education and background are not so important rather, we're more concerned
with your ability and desire to learn, and the ideas you bring to the conversation.

Who are we?

Gower Street Analytics is Matthew Eric Bassett and Dimitrios Mitsinikos, two film
industry veterans who started the data science programme at Universal Pictures International.
We've been working together since 2010. Dimitrios has been the driving force behind
technology adoption within Universal Studios since 2007, while Matthew is an
invited lecturer in computer science and advance topics in data science, exempli gratia,
topological data analytics.

Start: Early Sep 2015. Salary: £32-42k DOE + >1% Equity.

Hey, thanks.

The features desk brought the Krugman piece to life. We tend to pick up more of the data viz/interactive stuff, but we do work pretty closely with / sit next to them.
Interesting how history seems to have ratified the more RISCy of the CISC designs, IBM 360 and Intel x86 are survivors, the Motorola 68000 and DEC VAX died hard deaths, especially the VAX, which didn't lack support from DEC.
This might be classified as a "nailgun" rather than a "framework" if the only thing I'm nailing is paper to cardboard. The whole "Nothin to see here! Check out index.js" indicates to me that this is the precise opposite of a solution to the problem of more and more sites relying exclusively on piles and piles of Javascript with zero regard for accessibility, privacy (by making the site useless for those who disable Javascript to that effect), performance, etc.
I'm looking for additional details on these types of attacks if anyone has experience. I just can't believe that 1000+ minutes of freeconference audio traveling through a hacked PBX system is normal?

Well I wasn't originally speaking wrt Docker, but Docker doesn't magically lose all the hard work done by package managers. You have total access to them in your containers.
what the heck are you on about, man.
I don't disagree with your premise but let's not lose our shit over a demo page with mixed content. In fact HN is linking to the HTTP version which (obviously) doesn't display this warning and now even the HTTPS version is working. This was not a slight by the developer just an oversight probably left over from developing the landing page locally (which was quickly fixed).

Part of the reason I think this happened is because ST just switched to a custom syntax format that compliments the new parallel regex engine. Before Jon could work with the open-source Textmate language definitions. By mass converting them and open-sourcing them, the community can help keep them up-to-date, and Jon can provide the improved performance of the new syntax engine.

>I've talked to developers who have taken a single app that worked perfectly fine and split it into five or six services just because "microservices!"

I think the idea is to use microservices when they will be owned by separate teams. If your application is small enough that a single team can meaningfully work on it, then you probably don't need to break it up.
Labour tried to (re-)introduce ID cards; they oversaw the expansion of the national DNA database to retain records of anyone arrested for any offense whatsoever; and under Harriet Harman they attempted a strong version of the 'snoopers' charter'. No different; worse in some ways.

Please Fix your Recruitment Site, it errors out after filing the form - All the best with the recruitment..
I'm a serial entrepreneur & young angel investor, with some coding background, but most of my value-add is in growth, sales, marketing, and other aspects of building a business. I'm searching for my next venture - to start or join - and seeking a talented tech founder or team, with some idea in dmind. I'm interested in / have insight into real estate, media, subscription services, uber-for-x. I also enjoy studying security, but have no special insight into the field, and am open to projects outside my core interests.

I'm happy to share more over email or skype. I don't have any particular project in mind (well, more specifically, I have too many projects in mind and can't seem to be inspired to dive into either of them full time just yet).

I'm also happy to provide some feedback and guidance on your project even if we don't end up working together.

Yeah.

One good thing that came out of it is that the Fascist regime (which, incidentally, didn't do very well on the trains running on time front) put some organized effort in restoring and preserving Roman buildings and artifacts.

The current crop of assholes can't even get that far and is in fact doing the exact opposite.

Financial data are inherently 'smudgy', sometimes one decision or action gets spread out over multiple observations, sometimes many decisions/actions get combined into a few overlapping observations.
Companies should provide an option.

Let's SWOT this thing.

1099 contractor:

* gets paid per ride

* road wear, maintenance and mileage is tax-deductible

* number of working hours is not capped

* open schedule

* specific geography (mainly airport, mainly residential, mainly events) is up to the contractor

Employee:

* gets paid a set rate per hour

* no car expense is tax-deductible

* number of working hours is capped at 30

* schedule is set by employer

* potential pickup destinations are now more controlled by employer, the app could now demand an employee be at a certain place at a certain time (large sporting event ended, busy hour at the airport, surge in demand in some areas).

The way I see it employee status would be beneficial for some, and contractor status for others. Common assumption in such debate, since that one California driver sued Uber, is that everybody wants to be an employee, meanwhile my UberX conversations with drivers regarding their backgrounds suggest that's not the case, with ability to set their own hours being the key.

To answer your rhetorical: It can be both because depression makes boring things terrifying in a way non-depressed people find boring again. shrug

Anyway, I don't want to go too deeply into this, so I'll just say you're actually not far off from what I'm saying. What saddens me about "This is Water" is the fact that it's so close to something that might have been really helpful to him. He's talking about these daily experiences, and noticing how he's feeling. He feels bad. That's good; feeling bad helps.

And what he thinks next is... You have a choice of how to feel. Think about everyone who feels even worse. You can decide what you care about. Don't think of an elephant.

That isn't CBT, nor anything therapeutic-- that's depression, at its most pernicious and deadly.

> you can't keep people from changing the rules by using the language in a way they like.

True enough; I still go into shaddup-you-kids-get-off-my-lawn mode, though, when I see impact used as a verb or their as a singular pronoun.
> For anything common, a CLI is almost always quicker and more consistent.

I'm also a command line fan, but when it comes to git there are 2 areas where a GUI is nice:

- After slashing through dozens of files, it's nice to have a nice GUI that gives you a list of all changed files, and manually select the lines you want to stage. I use git-cola (https://git-cola.github.io/) or git extensions (https://gitextensions.github.io/, although there's no screenshot of this exact functionality) depending on the platform I'm on

- When I need to explore a repo's history, I like having some interactivity: filtering branches/tags, quickly searching for a commit or its ancestor, search where a commit is included... the git cli is absolutely not the right tool for that.

I could get used to tig (https://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/05/git-tig/) because it fits the bill for both cases, I just haven taken the time. Sometimes a mouse may be the best tool.
Ask HN: How to properly ask for a raise during my upcoming review?
I have a review coming up. Been working for this current company for about a year, been making 70K for about 2 years (lack of healthy negotiation on my part).

They hired me as a junior and very much act in a senior role. Leading development effort on multiple projects, unofficial manager roles, etc.

Data Engineer by trade, average salary with my experience in my current area is between 90K - 100K.

Couple questions:

Should I try and justify that salary amount even though the raise would be significant? Either way I plan to bring supporting documentation for salary average and past/present contributions.

I have to fill out a self review form, does it make sense to put something about proposing a raise in that document, or just wait until the actual review?

Anything else I should do that might not be obvious?

Thanks!

I think what you're talking about is very different from what my original comments parent talked about, though. Sure, you can have turn-offs. Although what society finds unattractive is also hugely based on culture, just like what it finds attractive.
Thank you for your answer. To try to get them a permit of course not the illegal thing. I mean startups mostly want to hire and scale fast and the usual visa takes around 6 months. I'd like to hear examples of what happens in those cases. Are startups willing to hire by contract for half a year then after the visa get the employee etc, examples of such cases. Would like to know if it's possible for me to get to a startup at such a stage without being an american.
While you're waiting for access to the Desktop preview, check out the current GitHub for Mac (https://mac.github.com/) and GitHub for Windows (https://windows.github.com/). I use GHfM everyday in tandem with CLI, and the basic visual diffing is great.

Datanyze | San Mateo, CA | All positions, from product to sales

Hello, everyone! Jon from Datanyze, here. We just had our best month and best quarter EVER and are excited to continue growing throughout the second half of the year. We've gone from 6 to 45 employees in the last 12 months and are looking for our third office in less than a year...to say we're growing quickly is an understatement!

We're looking for amazing people in all functions, including but not limited to ENGINEERS (who doesn't need a great engineer or two these days?), account executive, sales development reps, customer success managers, designers...and pretty much everything in between!

We're not your average startup that swings between raising rounds and burning through piles of cash; we bootstrapped to over $1 million in ARR (annual recurring revenue) and 100 customers before raising a seed round from amazing investors like Google Ventures, Mark Cuban, and IDG Ventures.

If you're interested in hearing more about us and the roles we're trying to fill, send me an email directly to jon@datanyze.com!
It was one of the first real MMOs. You could also turn your players into jerky for energy.

"If memory serves, when you cut up a corpse of another player the body parts gained would show which player it was, just like the head does, it should read "a torso of Soma", "a right leg of fwerp", etc, as it is right now, it just reads "a torso" or "a right leg".

Also, if you carved up the body parts further, you would get human jerky which also displayed the player's name, I can't exactly remember if this was in T2A but I do remember that human jerky was the majority of my character's sustenance."

UO was a griefers paradise unfortunately but it had many fun elements.

I had a similar experience. People had really pumped him up for me, and yet essay after essay left me either cold or disgusted. As someone who has struggled with lifelong depression, I still didn't recognize anything familiar in his description of watching hours of television a day, and I couldn't agree less with his moralizing attacks on irony. And his piece on prescriptivism vs. descriptivism is basically nonsense.

But it was the 9/11 essay that made me give up on him. Not just its stunning lack of insight as to what America's reaction to the attacks was and would lead to, although that was bad enough. But there's this point where he mentions that the people he was staying with didn't know where various buildings in NY were in relation to the Twin Towers; he explicitly describes his hosts' ignorance of the layout of the NYC financial district as a sign of their parochialism and isolation. What amazes me is that the eternally self-reflective Wallace apparently never considered that the vast majority of Americans, parochial and cosmopolitan alike, never have had any reason to know anything about the layout of the NYC financial district. In that moment the parochial viewpoint was _his_.

DFW was a fine stylist and made the occasional apt observation, but the man doesn't even begin to live up to the myth. The best thing I can say about him is that he would have been the first to admit that, too.
Well, it's definitely possible if executed correctly. It's certainly not impossible. It's just not as easy as it sounds, but there's an opportunity there to execute correctly
