Expedia had this for SF (weekdays in August):

22 hotels $75-$125

79 hotels $125-$199

88 hotels $200-$299

79 hotels $300+

5 star average of $382, 4 star average of $348 etc

The article really should be using median pricing anyway, but I don't see where they could get such a high average - the total average from Expedia is $246.
There was guy in my shard that pretend to be mentally ill while stealing and scamming everybody. Playing with change of name and clothes, working greed of players, like temp changing the color of horses by using invis potion (known bug) and then sold it as a rare horse and stuff like that.

He did it for about three weeks, which lead destroying TONS of the most valuable items on shard. He wrote journal about his journey and it could be even good book on its own, while it was done ingame and you actually interact with that guy (and probably lost fortune). It was great joke at the end, but many were pissed.
Do you truly believe that the "Christian right" is just a specific set of circumstances away from turning as destructive as ISIS?

If you do, then you are more of a lunatic than you think Christians are.
I know it doesn't run by default - a warning about malicious scripts is a cop out and everyone knows it. Yes, if we trained everyone to be programmers, then maybe no one would click it.

However, the point is, how do I know what will happen when I click this button? Will it run a helpful macro to format my data or will it delete all my files? Why is a macro language allowed to do that? Why do those two things have the same security level assigned to them?

You should run executables only from trusted sources - that's what we're told, right? Now - do you trust an email appearing to genuinely be from a very prestigious honor society from the world's largest CS authority? Why not? Why was the person not able to cryptographically verify that, yes, that is indeed where this file came from? What is that - you say that since they didn't know the sender personally, they shouldn't have trusted the file anyway? A different example: What if, say, someone used windowsupdate or apt-get as an attack vector? I bet you're trusting those strangers already, as we speak, and you have pretty much no say in the matter.

"Oh, we'll put in a warning dialog" is the most crappy duct-tape there-I-fixed-it style solution to this extremely nuanced problem, and blaming the user does nothing to secure real world systems.

Let's say you were working on a plugin and spent I don't know how many thousands of man-hours developing it. Now let's say that the creator of ST was hit by a car. You would be fucked.
I'm curious about the claim "pixel perfect every time" seen on your home page. Do you employ some special algorithm to scale images, or do you just use the standard tools? As far as I know, scaling vector graphics isn't enough to guarantee pixel perfection (especially not at low resolutions), and low-res logos are usually hand-crafted by designers. Maybe you should also allow companies to upload raster logos?
I would have liked to have had a chance at fixing the bug in Sublime that annoyed me daily for ~2 years. It went unacknowledged in the "bug tracker" (a phpBB full of threads no one reads, and bot spam about pay-per-view television).
> You can say you don't believe in deterrents, ...

But your example is precisely of a deterrent gone wrong.

They clearly tried to deter kidnapping by making it a capital offense, and it backfired.

It is also unjust: an extreme version of my fictitious example of giving petty shoplifters five year sentences.

Zeal to create a deterrent resulted in a horribly unjust law, which backfired on top of that.

> I think that the primary purpose should be reeducation and reintroduction in society

Reeducation is more suitable for exhibitionists, shoplifters, embezzlers, ...

The risk of re-offending is there, but nobody dies, and there is a chance for improvement.

When it comes to violent crime, the focus of the criminal justice system must be to protect people.
The keyboard looks like it's targeted at an Apple audience, so the design could very well work out for you, but if you want to make it viable for Windows/Linux users, that's a solid choice. Looking forward to seeing updates.

Most of the 'problems' with microservices are in the operations phase, not typically in the development phase.
> 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!"

We've also all met that developer that decided that Foo (library, framework, pattern, language - pick your poison) is SO MUCH BETTER than Bar (which is what you use now), and frantically sets out to replace all things Bar with Foo (and gives up halfway, so now you've got the maintain both Foo and Bar bit of your code, all intertwined).

The problem isn't with Foo and it's merits, it's actually very useful, the problem is that that developer is, frankly, shit.

Microservices is a perfectly useful pattern to achieve a number of ends, but it's not the answer to all questions. Know what you're trying to achieve, evaluate options on their actual merits (not what's buzzwordy this month) and make decisions consciously.

EDIT to add:

> can I see parts of this project being used in another project?

That's not the only benefit from microservices. Smaller units are easier to reason about (and test!), and they allow you to experiment: A monolithical app needs to maintain some sort of consistency. Most of the time it will be written in the same language, using the same general patterns and libraries supporting these patterns (eg. dependency injection using Guice or Spring). Most of the time, none of this will be cutting edge, some of the time it will be decidedly out of date, but changing it is hard and risky, and, well, it works.

With microservices your can use the languages, patterns and libraries that suit your isolated use case best. Need to support complex web forms? You might want to run Node.js so you can use the same JS code for validation on the front end and back end. Need lots of boring CRUD in your admin app? Ruby on Rails is your friend. Number-crunching? You might want to use Clojure or F#. Interfacing with some proprietary system (e.g. Sharepoint)? Use the best supported library you can find (.NET webservices client), and build a service up around that, on the platform that best supports that library (ASP.NET on IIS on Windows).

Try Oct 27 instead. Most hotels are sold out on that date, but the one across the street from me that is normally charging $250 is now charging $819 a night...
> Operational Complexity: You need a mature operations team to manage lots of services, which are being redeployed regularly.
IMO you need first and foremost a mature development team that releases operable, diagnosable and fixable (micro)services. Managing a swarm of mini component is a lot easier when each part is manageable to being with.

Are You Avoiding These Common MSP Pitfalls?: Coach's Corner Episode 10
> How can you be disliking it from a practical point of view if you don't use it in practice?

I had plenty of exposure to deeply nested things. This is pretty much like nested function calls. "foo(a, b)" and "(foo a b)" isn't all that different, is it?

I prefer to have different bits of syntax for different things because it looks less uniform. I like it when different things stick out in different ways.

> Also, take a look at APL or J if you want to see "unreadable" language.

Both of these aren't even in the top 50. Can you think of a somewhat popular (non-legacy) language?
Regarding your puzzle, the mention of unicode is strange considering the string "hiring" can be handled with ordinals < 255 in any language (ie: no special handling for unicode required). Some languages make unicode ordinals easy, others not so much. Perhaps encoded("hiring☺")@smartgift.it? ;)
Thought for sure this post was going to be all about Galaxy. Oh well, still didn't disappoint :).
The connections to Tolkien are cool, but isn't always the case with right-wing extremism? Fascists from Mussolini's regime to the Third Reich idolized imagined versions of their ancient nations. Even today, the Confederate flag represents a romanticized, fictitious version of the Antebellum South. Western right-wing extremists love to collect memorabilia of their fallen regimes, and historical reenactments are nothing if not scholarly cosplay.
This is one reason why I don't mind building apps using Eclipse + Java. Swing sucks, but I can live-edit my code and see it running immediately.

If you've ever watch Notch live-coding a Java game, he uses this extensively as well.

UI/Visual Designer

We believe your debit card should work more like an app, and we're building the software to make that a reality. Programmable limits, auto reload, data visualization, etc. We recently closed a $5M series A to make this happen.

Many of these features are early in their life, so the UI/Visual designer is going to have a very large say in what they become.

We believe design should be practical and beautiful, in that order.

We're looking for a designer that's principled - with strong ideas about what makes an execution "good", and pragmatic - with the ability to foresee and accommodate edge cases and implementation gotchas.

We're a small team, so the right designer has a mix of narrow expertise and broad knowledge.

If you're interested in working directly alongside the CEO, CTO, and UX designer on a wide range of really interesting problems, we'd love to hear from you at jobs+hn@karmiclabs.com. Knockout portfolio required, degree optional.

> with a tamper sensitive thermite charge attached.

I'm pretty sure OP was being sarcastic. :)
Launching a feature that maps across multiple microservices is also fun.

First, you need to issue pull requests for multiple projects and keep mental track of the status of those pull requests.

Second, [in a large organization] you might find out that changing the microservice on the server side breaks some client down the road because of new/unexpected parameters introduced, and the client handling it poorly.

Third, if the services [in a large organization] are distributed across multiple teams, you need to work around their schedules and their deploy calendars to orchestrate those changes.

Show HN: AI programming game
I don't love the Kenyan College address as much as a lot of people do, but the idea that it's treacle, or a depressive's accounting of the tribulations of going to a grocery store (and one wonders: how can it be both?) seems like horseshit. To me, it seems like a pretty straightforward recapitulation of the ideas behind cognitive behavioral therapy, which Wallace probably had more than a passing familiarity with.

Star Trek is basically garbage. Babylon 5 did a better job of showing the politics and strains of different cultures trying to focus on a single objective--even if it was a little optimistic at times.

Honestly, the future is probably going to look more like Red Dwarf or Lexx.
