I am very interested in finding a co-founder for an existing project (already has paying clients). I tried using the various websites like cofounderslab etc but it is tough. The reason is that finding a co-founder is like finding a date that could turn into a serious relationship (think girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife). So this takes time and effort and cannot be solved by a listing website.

Here are some of the problems/challenges I have faced:

- Not everyone wants to become a co-founder. A lot of people just want to build things for you and get out. Think freelancers etc. Really smart people but not interested in becoming co-founders.

- A friend wants to be your co-founder. Ok great. You like them and they are really good friends. But you know for sure that they don't have anything of value to offer to you. So you tell them "I would love to but what do you bring to the table" ? They cannot answer that and you are back to square one.

- A really smart friend whom you know could build great things together loves his/her job. He is the Employee type. No matter how much you try to convince them of the great entrepreneurial life, they won't budge.

In my opinion, to find a co-founder who is not a friend or someone you know already, below are the steps:

1. Initial contact with someone who has interest in becoming a co-founder. This can be solved with those listing type websites perhaps.

2. AFTER that initial contact, what do we do This is where the listing websites fail and cannot add any more value. This step/problem needs to be solved. My suggestion is that we will need to work together on "small" or "baby" projects first that may or may not be related to any actual business/product. Heck, lets build a blog together. Lets see how we interact with each other personally and professionally. I will like to spend a lot of time with you knowing your both personally and of course professionally. You may be the best programmer or marketer but can you handle pressure ? Can you actually commit to anything ? Are you a quitter ? Are you an honest person ? Can I trust you ? What is your vision ? What is your end Goal ? What do you want out of life ? All these questions need to be answered in my opinion and really vetted.

3. Once step 2 is reasonable secure, then lets actually become co-founders. Sign legal agreements, do vesting discussions, get lawyers involved etc ?

Just my 2 cents. I filled out your survey btw as well.
Beware of “async void” in C#
36 bit was popular for scientific computing because 35 gives you a sign bit and 10 decimal digits (yes, that's weird, but that's the argument I read everywhere, including at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/36-bit. 35 likely was skipped because it its only divisors are 5 and 7, limiting instructions to 7 bits even then was felt to be too restricting. For some architectures, the DoD had a say in this, too. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisys_2200_Series_system_ar...)

36 bits got us the 6-bit character (10 digits, 26 letters, and punctuation) with six characters in a word. Because of that, some OSes had six-character file names.

If you want to get upper- and lowercase, you need more than 6 bits. 9 is the smallest divisor larger than 6 of 36, so nine-bit characters made sense.

On such systems, file names could still use 6-bit characters, while applications used 9-bit ones. Also, some instructions could work on words, half words, quarter words, or sixth words.

It's still pretty bad. Imagine being the IT dept at the NYSE right now. The trading is likely being rerouted to other exchanges. The Wall Street Journal website is also down.
These are two orthogonal concepts. FP is analysable, and it is its main (if not the only) point. OOP is a model of a world (and, I'd say, it's a pretty crappy model, but it has nothing to do with languages and such, it's the problem with modelling approach). They have nothing in common.
Does anyone know why she was fired? Few things get you fired immediately, so I guess it's something quite bad. As much as I agree with the IamA moderators about shitty decisions at Reddit, their owners might deserve credit for not disclosing whatever Victoria did to get fired.
It's private as in only for customers (not exposed to the internet), not private as in only for you.

How does the lack of integer size promotion make it easier to overflow? I don't follow.
Given how bad the public reaction has been, if it was something "quite bad", one would think they would tell people about it so as to pacify the crowds. (I understand there could be repercussions for doing this but it would seem to be worth the risk.)

This isn't much of an issue for traders That's a nice benefit of having 40+ trading venues in the US. They had problems at the open as well with connectivity on one of their gateways.

Issues like this crop up all the time and most of the time they are resolved before the open.
The good news is that they aren't reporting any lost trades or trade busts yet so this isn't as bad as the BATS open at BATS:)

Having said that, they've announced that they will cancel all open orders, that is a huge deal, I can't remember the last time they did that.

To put that into perspective, cancelling all open orders would be the Silicon Valley equivalent of Ebay loosing all bids on their current auctions.

NYSE has always been considered second rate in their IT compared to the NASDAQ and BATS and this won't do much for their reputation.

EDIT meant BATS not FB, thanks!

One other point to keep in mind when throwing around hacking conspiracies. The exchanges aren't running on public networks. You can't DDOS them or hack directly into the matching engines. Though I'm sure you can break in via some other NYSE owned network and make your way to the matching engine somehow.

To hook into the exchange you either go through a blessed intermediary like GS or you plug directly in via colocation. You just can't keep pinging the NYSE on port 80 to bring it down.

Counter anecdata...

I often drop in to a local bar, and tend to be the troubleshooter for older folks with new smartphones. I've helped out on quite a variety of devices, but my heart always sank when I bumped into the guy with a Lumia that his daughter had given him. I can't remember every instance, but I can remember turning him away in frustration with outcomes like "sorry, I've no idea why the browser won't remember your login details".

I ran into many frustrating problems with that device that I didn't find with iOS and Android (even super-cheap Android). I was extremely relieved when he rocked up one day with an iPhone, and very gladly set it up with all the apps he needed.

Isn't it more likely than not that she was dismissed with good cause? Otherwise, why so abruptly and without explanation from either side? Presumably reddit for legal and other reasons didn't want to kick her on the way out, but what else explains her relative silence?

He says (among other things):

We wait for our CI servers to tell us about potential code smells instead of our editors pointing them out to us as we type.

so I'm not sure about that.

Sure, debug tooling is a different matter – but like I pointed out, it's hardly terrible in Ruby either.
Given the recent push for monetization of Reddit, it's also entirely possible that she put her foot down against some kind of hair-brained scheme for monetizing AMAs, and was summarily dismissed for refusing to go with the flow.
You say "few things get you fired immediately" but I'd say it depends. If you're at a big relatively stable company few things get you fired immediately. If the company is small or in flux (as Reddit appears to be) it can be a lot easier to be fired quickly.
This article makes it seems like the moderators actually work for Reddit, which isn't the case. This is the problem, actually. Because it's not a paid position, the company can't use that as leverage in situations like this. The moderators essentially have nothing to lose.

Even in the article, it states that it was shutdown because of the abrupt termination of Ms. Taylor. Anybody that makes these sort of emotional decisions shouldn't be anywhere near a position of power.

If I were the CEO of Reddit, I would be making it my next goal to slowly take away the power away from these moderators.
I interviewed at the NYSE a few years ago. Everyone was Indian.
This is probably just a rumor but I recall reading it she wasn't comfortable with the monetization strategy of that subreddit
When you consider exactly how much information we have to go on, I think people are overreacting by immense proportions.

Do we even know why Victoria was fired yet? Maybe she was about to blow the lid off a vast internet conspiracy. Or maybe she's actually the bad guy, and she went crazy and tried to destroy the office. We just don't know, and we might never know.

Besides, what is reddit corporate supposed to do when they want to fire an employee? Message the mods and say, "Oh, btw, we're going to fire Victoria in a couple days and Xyz will take over her duties, just thought you'd like to know."? That's simply out of the question, and not enough people even thought about this scenario.

The responses to this event are entirely unjustified, because there is no information at all to base a reaction on.

The standard doesn't specify whether char is signed or unsigned, it's left to the implementation.

He was convicted of over 50K offenses and given a 2 year suspended sentence and was not named or identified. I am all for reduced sentences of cybercrimes but that does seem pretty light.
Rumors abound. The most prominent rumor is that it was because of a bad public reaction to a Jesse Jackson AMA. Some leaked info from a supposed disgruntled Reddit admin says it's because Ellen Pao pressured Victoria into pushing an NDA + promise of a cut of future sales resulting from AMAs on the AMA subjects, which Victoria disagreed with a little too loudly.
Elon Musk Says Explosion a Huge Blow to SpaceX
Capacity only increased 0.01% over the first quarter of 2015. Passenger loads have remained flat at 81.1%. I would suggest that compared to last year, there hasn't been much change in scale. Also, all of the above systems are not linked together so I'm not sure an increase in one of those factors would be enough to take down and entire system. I could be wrong, I am definitely not an aviation IT expert. (Apparently Untied could use some though, so perhaps I might need to think about adding that to my skills!)

I kind of agree with you.

While I think Microsoft has been moving in a good direction since Nadella took over (I am sorry if I misspelled his name), it is worth keeping in mind the nasty - and at times downright criminal - business practices Microsoft used to get where it is today.

Just to be clear, I am hopeful that Microsoft's leadership has come to understand that in world with more iPhones and Android devices than PCs, their old tactics won't work any longer. But they still have a long way to go before I trust them.
The alarm I use on my phone is set to only turn off when a specific NFC tag is scanned. I have the tag placed down the hall in my bathroom.

It is the best alarm trick I've used to date and the only one that hasn't worn off after a couple of months. I absolutely hate it in the morning, but it works.

The one danger is getting frustrated and powering off my phone, but I've found even my half asleep self doesn't want to do this. I have backup physical alarm clocks just in case though.
No one outside of the company knows right now. To protect her privacy, they said that they are not going to publicly say why. All the current explanations are just rumors and speculation.
We're not really sure what she was fired for, she may have actually done something really bad that warranted her removal. If not and it was just a case of management being out of touch with the community then it would seem that the backlash would be justified. We don't know the full story so it's hard to say at this point.
They claim they wanted to change the positions they had altogether so maybe not.
I used to think that it was fine, but then I started working with LISP and SLIME, and the difference between that and what's available in the Ruby-world is striking.
I believe she claimed she did't know why it occurred. But she has barely said a word about it. Reddit has actually terminated a lot of their own employees in the last year or so, so actually in this case her getting suddenly let go isn't that strange. Reddit seems to be trying to move IAMAs into some kind of team structure (ama@reddit.com, etc).
Silly me I was hopping it would be a video stream.
David Guetta: Piracy Brings Fans to My Concerts
That's a fine example. It has dependencies, the dependencies change quickly, so the project needs updating.

Let me give a counter-example. PriorityQueue is a data structure implementation published as a Ruby gem in 2005: https://rubygems.org/gems/PriorityQueue/versions/0.1.2. It has not been updated since, because it doesn't need to be. It just works. (It could use better docs, but even that would be a one-time change.)

Similarly, I have a gem that helps build searches with ORMs - https://github.com/nathanl/searchlight. It doesn't directly depend on any ORM, just the "chained method calls to build queries" interface that they implement. That means I don't need to update it when ActiveRecord or Sequel or Mongoid gets a new feature. Which means I commit far less often. I consider it feature complete and only make bug fixes, which should eventually stop.

At that point, it may look abandoned, but it won't be. Just stable. Which I consider a good thing.
The TV is stating that US government sources do not see a connection.

I haven't found any information on how to use libraries that depend on mixins for ES6.

Say React-router, how would you use that if you're extending a class in ES6 and need to rely on that mixin?

> For high concurrency systems, I'd expect false sharing to start rearing its ugly head.

I'd be really surprised if that results in programs in parallel mode becoming slower than sequential (which is what you get with GOMAXPROCS=1). Cache effects are important, but not that important in a setting like Go, where few people use concurrent read-write data structures anyway (other than channels, of course) due to the lack of generics.

Much more likely is that some programs become slower due to the fact that GOMAXPROCS>1 requires more locks and atomic operations. That's not false sharing, though; that's just synchronization overhead.

You probably know better.
Woohoo! We like to hear that... any features you'd suggest or things we could do better?
It's a personnel matter, so reddit will never tell you, and she's likely bound by an agreement to never disclose.

My guess is not censoring the Jesse Jackson AMA when the users got nasty. I have another comment on this site that details what I suspect went down. You can search it out if you're really curious--I don't know how to permalink here.
And combined with the United Airlines ground stop happening now.. Something is certainly happening.
One-Step Setup for VPC Flow, Lambda and CloudTrail Logs on Elasticsearch/Kibana
I have heard one datapoint from another author that publishing in LaTeX has been nothing but pain (I think in mostly in regards to creating the eBooks). That said, the formatting in InDesign was kind of a pain on its own (it kept adding "typographers" curly apostrophes which would break the code), but I'd probably still choose that over LaTeX.
In that region, Jordan seems to have taken up that task. They are making major moves forward in R and D.
What Would the Eurozone Look Like Without Greece?
The censorship is not happening by the community, it is coming from the admins that are on the reddit payroll. There are some posts that are auto-deleted based off of keywords during some of the more turbulent times in reddit.
This more or less hits the point. I hear from functional programmers that fp is superior and that the only reason people are not as productive with it is because they're stupid.

But in the real world, fp languages just don't seem to work out very well, not in companies I read about, not in classes I've taken. They only seen to work well in Fibonacci examples. (And functional features in other languages are great though)

I wanted to like fp because all the cool kids do. But I need to see results or some evidence that the drawbacks of fp can be overcome and functional programmers give me nothing but "if you don't get it, your stupid"
that happens to me quite a bit. nginx gateway errors are pretty common on HN in my experience
Ha, you have been lucky then.
Good rationale for not having the people who write the product promote the product. You're too close to remember everybody else doesn't know what things are.

Based only on the leading description, it sounds like something trying to be a non-crap Docker replacement that was actually built from experience instead of just trying to capture a VC money waterfall? Atlas builds upon and unites our popular open source tooling to create a version control system for infrastructure. Automate, audit, and collaborate on infrastructure changes across any infrastructure provider.

Though, looking more at this post, it's a "we did this product" post, not a post about the product: the product has become a polished, intuitive experience.

That's nice?

The actual product page starts with: Atlas unites HashiCorp development and infrastructure management tools to create a version control system for infrastructure. Automate, audit, and collaborate on infrastructure changes.

Which, I'm still not sure.

Atlas can be used for all its features, or features can be used individually. All components are HashiCorp open source tools that are hosted and run in Atlas.

That's what it can do, but not what it do. Is this a side effect of SF startup culture? Do we forget everybody doesn't live inside our startups?

As best I can tell, Atlas is their map (heh) of how all their pre-existing products work together, and you can buy one umbrella product/support instead of buying 4 individual products?
The trouble is that by the time they are at "extend" it is too late...
If I ever finish it I'll tweet it. There won't be a lot, I'm a barely educated noob with distate for out of reach abstraction. And I see a simple migration path from imperative to functional. If you have no college education about programming languages it might be interesting to test if my ideas are worth reading and actually effective.
Those moderators are the content creators that make Reddit run, and Reddit runs only because those people have "the power".

The average Reddit user doesn't know or care where the content comes from or how it's moderated, and they similarly have no loyalty to Reddit. If those moderators get upset enough with the way the site is run and go elsewhere, the rest of Reddit's users will likely follow suit, just like they did when Digg imploded.
