Oh, then I would be somewhat suspicious only seeing a single comment, especially if the site is popular and there should be more comments.
There is no need to always create an "opposite"-view post in response to other "controversial" posts.

Can't wait for "The Pragmatic Front-End Developer" to pop-up in a few days.

Bottom line, we should focus on discussion that progresses our craft and not superficial rivalries. Take for example the excellent Pure UI by rauchg [1] (at the very least check the first footnote of the article, a true engineer in mind)

Except the term "web service" is just as overloaded as "API" - its got the very specific old school meaning of a SOAP/WSDL API which typically isn't exposed as a service on the web :(

Which 3 letter agency do you work for?
I wrote a FUSE filesystem (https://github.com/netheril96/securefs) to secure the data that is meant to be synced to the cloud. In principle it is more secure than alternatives because the randomization and authentication of encryption. It encrypts file by file so that no need to sync a huge data when you only change a single file.
I'm a bear of very little brain, could you explain the recursive properties of this sentence? I don't see them.
I just tried that (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9888649) and it finished syncing the moved files.
So no harm done and it even appeared in the iCloud.com Settings > Data & Security where I could recover it.

Anyone know why U-235 is called 25 (section 4), or why the atomic mass is slightly off? (233.66 amu)
The sensor will need to send data back, so it can't be too light weight.
What about "REST API"?
There's a lot of Google in there since they publish machine-readable definitions for all their APIs. We'll probably weed some of them out either via likes or manual removal.

Two of my favorites are Bitdango [1] and Getty Images [2]. Bitdango has live exchange rates for currencies, including virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Getty lets you find high-quality stock photos and has search parameters to select everything from the number of people to the artistic style of the photo

Something like this for a forum that simulates an admin panel, so when someone hacks in, they think they're causing all sorts of mischief.

It could be called a hellevator.
"The Mediocre Front-End Developer"
I noticed this same phenomenon with all three of the auto-syncing cloud storage services I tested: Apple's iCloud, Google Drive, and Microsoft's SkyDrive.

During testing, all three of those services incorrectly deleted files when the cloud service got confused about synchronization. So for the particular application I had in mind, I wasn't able to use any of them and had to write scripts to handle the synchronization myself.

Fermi paradox is interesting because if aliens did have the ability to teleport they would've done so. The matrix does sound reasonable. What if we could have everything in this virtual world? The argument that we are in a matrix right now is moot because it kinda sucks. Great for the 1 percenters tho.

He uses the noun 'verb' as a verb, demonstrating the process within the explanation itself.
Do the conclusions change if we assume that the goal is not to optimize for value to the user, but for value to the company? Specifically, it seems that using the vote difference rather than the vote ratio would help controversial stories rank high. Controversial stories in turn are great at driving lots of discussion, which means lots of visits and revisits to the comment section.

(Compare to the apparent HN policy of discouraging controversy, both by the large effect of flagging and through the flamewar detector).
Not really - like you said, flight schools are old school. # of pilots in the Bay Area seems to be lower than the national average from the stats I have seen. From what I have seen, not many people know that flying themselves is even an option on the table. I would love to say that I have a great group of pilot friends my age that I fly with regularly...not the case!
Agreed. I've got a B.S. in Biochemistry and I'm sad about all the liberal arts classes I missed out on. I audited a philosophy class and I still think about it often.

However I've found that if you want to continue learning, being a programmer is a good place to be. It's pretty acceptable to read wikipedia during your breaks and we get paid enough to have guitar tutors.
Perhaps it's context? I certainly agree that teaching someone chip design is a long process, so is teaching them to design a compiler. For me, it is a level of complexity which cannot be abstracted against. So, for example, it is easy to teach middle school kids to make working digital circuits out of TTL gates, but much harder to teach them how to bias a transistor amplifier to operate in its linear region. Similarly its easy to teach them basic game mechanics with PyGame or something similar but harder to teach them out to develop inverse kinematics and shader based rendering in the Unity engine. All about scale.

For me the big difference is that you see a program that does something, and if you're skilled enough write your own version that does the same thing, even if it was protected by copyright you "own" that new code you wrote. But if you saw some hardware that did something, and were skilled enough to implement that same thing yourself, if it was protected by patent, you couldn't share your version. Sad really.

Even an open source RISC cpu couldn't be built with out of order execution until those patents[1] expired. But now a lot of those patents are expiring and so its a great time to be in the bespoke hardware business.

Anyone working at google care to comment if this is being felt? Gravy train left the station?

I think it would be a mistake to cut spending on innovation, you risk becoming irrelevant.
Remedial work's always there, sure. But you have to know what you don't know, at least in outline.

A lot of my liberal arts classes were things I didn't necessarily like. But I know enough to have a framework to learn more about them and about related topics.
I was considering making a comment system, but this is far more brilliant.

Hey there,

We have considered modeling the distribution from which the data is typically drawn and then calculating likelihood of newly observed data. Some of the approaches that we use to detect anomalies on stream starts per second (SPS) now depend on these services. Same software package, slightly different solution.

A colleague of mine (Chris) implemented a data tagger which allows users to annotate data that is typically fed into this system. We have plans to have the backend automatically swap out the algorithm based on performance against their tagged data.

We've written about SPS here: http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/02/sps-pulse-of-netflix-str...

Markov chains need lots of training data to be useful. If you feed it just one comment, it pretty much reproduces that exact comment, maybe switching around or repeating a phrase somewhat.
Why even have the concept of a monad in Swift? The language is neither lazy nor purely functional, so the problem monads were introduced to solve doesn't exist. You can just write regular code to do I/O.
One of my colleagues designed and implemented a telemetry data tagger that allows service owners to annotate the data reported into our primary telemetry system Atlas [0] and has further worked on mechanisms for service owner feedback to automatically create training data sets for this implementation.

Great question, and I'm glad others are thinking along these lines -- we fully believe that this is important for bridging the gap between service owners and our analytics.

Every time a popular opinion blog comes around that has an opposing opinion come out, I always wonder if these archetypes do actually help to advance the field they're talking about. Meaning, I do actually find it helpful to read about how people are defining their value while performing their skill. Does anyone else find these opposing opinions helpful or do you just see them as wasteful drivel?

Granted, this is just a blog post, so the author isn't probably isn't actively trying to craft a faction amongst front end developers.

U-235 contains 92 protons and 235 protons + neutrons. As a "code word" for Uranium-235 they took the last digit from 92 and the last digit from 235 and referred to it as 2+5 = 25

Same with plutonium-239 which has 94 protons and 239 protons + neutrons. It was referred to as 4+9 = 49
Think of it as the COBOL of the Internet. Nobody wants to think about it, but it sustains so much.
I've seen this argument, but don't believe that removing the option for click-to-play improves security. I'd could believe this theory if the default was simulataneously changed to have Flash default to off, but as it is, the result is that more users will choose to keep the default where Flash always on. Surely automatic activation is even less secure than a potentially hijackable click-to-play?
So many one-liner garbage comments, no way to downvote.

Let's start by saying: cool, it's satire, and learning technologies through novel applications is the heart of hacking. I ain't even mad.

But no, shadowbanning is not cool. It was originally for spammers, not for real people you don't like. It's inconsiderate, because if effective, it wastes peoples' time writing comments they think people can read. Comments they believe contribute to the conversation. And it's not cool.

And to be clear to jMyles: This is trickery.

Disclaimer: I was shadowbanned many moons ago (hence the name now) for one comment out of hundreds I'd made on this site. That one comment was rude and terse, but not something unequivocally hateful or harmful. For that, I posted for weeks without knowing my comments re: the technologies and news I care about were being blocked. It's not cool.

Its tied to collections, not specifically to List. A number of (but certainly not all!) important monads are (or can be viewed as) collections, including Optional/Maybe (which can be viewed as a collection with cardinality restricted to being either 0 or 1.)
Do you not understand how this code works, or are you also being sarcastic?

Using nice round made up numbers let's say that a Google ad is displayed and clicked on iOS. Google got paid 10c for the ad, but then had to pay Apple 5c to be the search engine. Same story on Android, except they didn't have to pay Apple, but did have to pay to develop Android (1c). In the iOS scenario they are left with 5c, but in the Android scenario they are left with 9c. They are better off in the final accounting by 4c because of Android. Call that whatever you want, but they end up with more money and more profits.

The "free stuff" is not free. It is a place to deploy ads and encourage use of other Google services which then provides more places to deploy ads (aka revenue opportunities). Even if no ads are involved, the user activity is very valuable. Knowing what people search for, where they go, who they communicate with etc let Google make better products. For example when showing search results, which ones the users click on is monitored. If they keep clicking on the 3rd result then that one should likely be higher. The more traffic you get the better you can make your search results because the users tell you. Navigation data tells you what physical places are popular, which again reinforces the search results (eg Chinese restaurants in your town). Even seeing mis-spellings helps.

If you ask people who have tried multiple search engines why they use Google, the answer is usually the quality of the results. It is a vicious cycle and why Google has 70-80% of search traffic. Guess where that makes the advertisers go, and the more advertising demand the higher the rates that can be charged. The positive feedback loops around Google really help.

Android does not directly add to Google's bottom line. It does however add over a billion users to Google products, significantly reduces the costs to access those users, does not place those users under someone else's control, and helps the revenues of those Google products they use which does show up in the bottom line.

Monads exist regardless of whether you call them that. They are a mathematical idea. An algebraic structure.

If you made a language that used conditionals based on 1 and 0, it could do boolean logic, even if you didn't include boolean values explicitly.

Monads exist in just about every programming language. They weren't introduced to solve a problem. They already existed, and just happen to be useful to solve certain problems.
OS X was mighty fine. It's been getting progressively worse in my opinion.
It's really funny how many "dead" genres have been revived thanks mainly to Steam and Kickstarter. Or how Minecraft would have certainly been laughed out of the room by any major publisher.

Most of these games will not make obscene profits. But it should be really clear by now that it makes sense to invest in and sell a variety of games, not just mass-appeal action games.
I fully agree with you. But like I said, if technology is replaced, it should be replaced by better technology.

For websites, HTML5 offers enough to be considered a proper alternative. Yes, I probably dislike Flash websites as much as you do.

But for games, HTML5 just doesn't cut it compared to Flash (or yes, even Java applets as someone else mentioned ;)). And the sad truth is that by design, each browser vendor will have it's own implementation with it's own quirks.

(I seem to be getting a lot of down-votes on my original post, although I don't think I said anything incorrect)
Multiple ways of writing the same thing makes it easier to read, often, because you are more free to use the form that is more readable and intuitive in context; that's one reason why natural languages (including written languages) tend to have multiple ways of expressing the same ideas.
Bayesian Average Ratings
I agree with you completely.

I said "I believe the science is still out on this" because I personally haven't found anything conclusive myself. Until I find evidence one way or the other I'm not inclined to take a strong opinion on it. So far the best argument for sit-stand desks seems to be "sitting is 'going to kill you faster than smoking' so standing must be better". Correlation != causation... I'm much more inclined to believe this is just a spurious correlation...

"Ping pong, for example, might add to the work environment for some developers."

It may also detract from the work environment if the ping pong table is close enough to where people are working that the noise distracts them (or stray ping pong balls hit them in the back of the head). If your office is a single open space, you probably shouldn't have a ping pong table in it.

The best developers value being able to focus on their work and staying in a state of flow much more than they value ping pong or other recreational facilities.

Your comment just reads as "I've been using MooTools since my pappy was alive! It works so why change it."

If you want to stagnate and use the same tools, go for it. Other people will continue to push the envelope and improve the day to day lives of thousands of programmers everywhere.

If people were afraid to try new things, we wouldn't have things like Ember, or React, or Meteor, or Mythril, or Rails. You don't have to try every single thing that comes out, but at least be aware of them, and give them a cursory 30 minutes glance. You like programming, I assume? This should be fun, and it is!

1) Other devices don't see the files that are still being uploaded

2) Tried creating a folder, uploading 200 MB file in it and moving the folder to to local drive. Works as expected. After upload finished, the folder reappeared with the file in it.

So, the files waiting to be uploaded won't disappear.
Apple is one of the top product makers period. Products are more than just hardware or even software. If you doubt me, look at their market capitalization.

Individual products will always have their pros/cons, and the company will have strengths (design) and weaknessess (social, some cloud services).

But to say they're bad at software just isn't true.
According to the numbers in the post, it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad, just due to the smaller number of vulnerable servers. 269/530000 servers scanned isn't anything to panic about, unless the problem is larger than it appears from this research.

What article is this submission opposing? Context?
1: So, basically people who live in rural areas will subsidize the people who live in cities? Or will they just pay much lower taxes?

2: Sanitation? I have my own septic system.

Water? Well.

Roads? You mean the gravel thing that has tons of pot holes? It would not be feasible for me to do that alone. (private property and all)

Schools? Tell me how much a high school degree gets you in today's economy? I just don't see much ROI there.

I agree about the prison system, it should only have violent criminals and thieves but the savings should go to lower taxes for the poor and middle class.
Title is misleading. This is an isolated edge case, although clearly one that should be addressed.

To be fair, this is not all the Israel government's fault.

USA defense contractors make a ton of money, that originates with the U.S. tax payer, by selling weapon systems to Israel. Powerful economic interests in the USA want the unfortunate situation in that area to continue. There is a lot of money to be made in war, unfortunately.
