I dispute that! I think it's an incorrect full stop.

Fixed. Thanks. (Also, why is HN's URL regex matching full stops at the end of URLs?)
You are so aweosome for doing this. I built GoReturnMe.com single handedly with my own php framework Tatanka. It needs an update but we could use some credit :) I love building bands/musicians/artists websites. And I host them at no charge on AWS, credit would help there :) I also an an engineer for label insight.com :) we could use some credit too.

You're awesome!
I feel that the methodology of that site reports your browser as more unique than it really is. For one, it doesn't take into account that plugins/browsers are constantly getting updated. This causes the user-agent string and the plugin names to constantly change, causing the site to report more entropy than there really is. For instance, I'm using firefox on windows 8.1. Based on the market share of windows 8.1 (13%) and firefox (11%), the chance that another browser has the same user-agent should be 1 in 70. However panopticlick reports 1 in 943.29. Similarly, panopticlick reports that 1 in 7596.81 uses the latest version of the NPAPI flash plugin.
You can get nearly anything custom tailored for cheap. If you ever go to Hong Kong, walk down Nathan Road. You'll be pitched to by about a hundred or more Bangladeshi immigrants to come and have a fitted suit and some shirts made. They'll measure you, you give them a day, then come in for a second fitting, pick your new duds up the third day. The price will be comparable to Marshall's or TJ Maxx or deeply discounted (like clearance priced) US retail, if you don't negotiate hard. If you're a good negotiator, you can do much better. Nathan Rd. in Hong Kong is the most well known; there is a shop named Sam's that is world famous, but the prices are much higher. Beijing also has a similar area or two where the quality is the same and the prices are even cheaper, one of them is near the pearl market. I've never been to Shanghai, but I'd bet anything they have the same kind of thing. The ones in Beijing are like any other Beijing market, hundreds of independent vendors in one complex. The tailors in HK are usually in little store-fronts adjacent to Nathan Rd. If you know your measurements, you can send them to one of these shops and they will mail you the clothes, assuming you can find a trustworthy one and not a scammer.

I had a wool suit made and it fits me well enough. I've never had a problem finding suits that would fit me off the rack though, so it's mostly a novelty. I also wasn't completely satisfied with the way the trousers fit, but I didn't have time to have them re-made. They are very well-constructed and durable though, and have lasted several years now. The best thing was the shirts, I bought a dozen at about $13 USD each, IIRC. I have long arms and I can rarely find shirts off the racks that have correct-length sleeves and aren't too big everywhere else. These shirts fit well, and are comfortable to wear, and look good. I've worn them a fair amount and they've lasted a few years. The only problem is that the buttons were ruined by the dry cleaners on a couple of the shirts. The buttons were apparently cheap, I chose them myself; but I apparently can't look at a button and judge whether it can withstand dry cleaning/pressing. This happens to some of my store-bought shirts too. I might order another dozen of these shirts, because they were cheaper and much better than anything I've ever bought retail. That is if I get brave enough to do an internet transaction since I have no plans to go to HK any time soon.

Most sites, almost all, would break if browsers suddenly disallowed third party scripts.

If you're asking why it is "allowed" by their policy, I'd argue that it really boils down to if a script is tracking or not tracking. For example a CDN is a third party, but often aren't designed for tracking.
I solved the tracking problem very easily with just three Chrome profiles:

1. Gmail work, gmail personal, chrome profile linked to gmail. Some work sites (clicking links from work emails). No other use.

2. Facebook + Vk only, not logged in, ublock origin, only session cookies enabled (exception - facebook).

3. All other browsing, ublock origin, only session cookies, not logged in

With right-click profile switching, it's really not much more hassle than switching between windows.
The great think about VIM is that it lets you do the same about of work with less effort. Over your lifetime, you might type half as many keystrokes to do the same amount of work. Look at VimGolf and the following video to see what I mean.

Would clients actually choose the fastest connection? That page says that the client will typically choose the first address, so you can use this for load distribution among servers, but it doesn't say anything about client latency.

If I have 5K users in US, 2K in Europe, and 1K in Asia, I wouldn't want the traffic to evenly distributed. I would want users to go to the closest/fastest server.

The StackOverflow post above looks like a good start.
Well, GoogBookSoft comes to Canada every year and wastes many millions sponsoring J1s, TNs, H1Bs, and relocation while paying the same salaries as they do to Americans.

Why would they do that if there was no shortage of qualified American programmers in the bay?

For anyone interested in Scheme, may I suggest taking a look at Racket. It has a very nice IDE, and is growing surprisingly quickly. I admit though there is something about lisp that I just really like (perhaps I'm addicted to parentheses).
I had a good laugh. Sadly some people may see this as serious journalism.

Many offices are a little too cold - but this has little to do with gender. Fat, or/and high metabolism ppl can wear tshirts at best but cant run around naked.
Lean and slower metabolism ppl can put a sweater on. Heck i even take it off for meeting because dress code.

For the record, im in the sweater category. Now then again offices with temp lower than 70 are a lil crazy.
After working for ~2.5 years on the web stack, I've spent the better part of the last year working purely in C++, and I can agree with the author's sentiment here.

Both languages have warts, but JS is a small enough language (at least in the ES5/ES5+Typescript world I was working in) that the warts felt finite. The first couple months were full of surprises, but after that I felt like I had a good grasp on the language, and knew when it was going to bite me.

No such luck with C++, however. It still seems like there are several times per week where I'm surprised by some new way the language can screw me over, like non-virtual inheritance, or a newly discovered subtlety in the way includes are processed.

Another benefit of JS - since the language is interpreted, build times tend to be much lower, and debugging tends to be much easier than C++.

EDIT: Another benefit of JS - people like to give JS devs grief for all of the OSS frameworks they create, but in the C++ world every major company has built their own, in-house, closed-source implementations of the same shit. I'd love to know how many different implementations of a linked list in C++ exist in the wild today.
What Is This?

DailyVC born from the idea that information on Twitter flows too fast and is really hard to follow all the links shared by the smartest people in the world. @pmarca , for example, is tweeting between 50 and 200 times a day and is f hard to follow him, so I thought it would be useful for his followers to see all his links in one place.

With DailyVC we can gather the links shared by this curated list of VCs. By the way, if you have more ideas/suggestions about some verticals or specific lists we could create with this purpose, tweet me to @josuegio.
Light the way!
It is a slippery slope because you're trying to extrapolate public policy onto private property.

If you're upset with the tax breaks and subsidies, then elect someone who will deal with them. That and your arbitrary expectations doesn't give you entitlement to someone else's private property.
That's too many hoops for a child learning programming to jump through. There is a real difference in simplicity between Ruby and C#.
So what are the relative safety rates of textile workers in China vs energy workers in the US? I would be genuinely interested to know.
I think there's an opportunity for individuals to reclaim some of this power, and therefore value. I'm working on a solution in the form of a url shortener. We pair advertisers with the links people share. So when an individual shares a link to a piece of content, i.e. a blog, they can monetize the process.

Thanks. Seems Firefox is choking on ES6. Weird!
I feel that this would not deter companies from tracking. People would still use disconnect and adblock to make sure that their search queries are not being tracked. I myself am considering getting a VPN since a lot of sites track according to mac address.

I've been a big fan of Droid Sans Mono for the longest time, and my biggest complaint was the lack of 'crossed' zeroes.

Roboto does have the crossed zeroes, but it seems a bit less crisp than Droid Sans to me.

RINSE | San Francisco, CA and Santa Monica, CA | Full Time

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. We've grown at double-digit month-over-month rates for two years now, and our customers love us!

We have a number of open positions:

1) We are hiring a Designer in San Francisco to move our product, website, and apps to the next level. We're a consumer brand with interactions across mobile, web, email, and even SMS. We're also advertising across multiple media. Since our brand centers around a seamless and friendly experience, this is a prime opportunity for a designer who wants to have a central role in a consumer-facing 'rocket ship' startup.

2) We're also hiring a Customer Experience leader to scale our (excellent!) customer service team. We pride ourselves in delighting our customers with surprising attention and thought, and would love to bring someone on board who knows how to scale and manage this important function, without compromising our values.

3) Rinse continues to search for qualified Senior Software Engineers. We're primarily a Django / Python shop with a fair amount of javascript/HTML5 thrown in. We're building tools for our customers, our drivers, our internal staff, and our vendors. It's a "target rich" environment with plenty of opportunity to make a direct and meaningful impact on the business! We're solving problems as varied as demand forecasting, route optimization, QR tagging for inventory control, and a suite of mobile apps for our customers and staff.

Interested in the burgeoning delivery startup scene? Perhaps your family ran a dry cleaner or laundromat when you were growing up? Delighted with our service? Let's talk!

Email sam <at> rinse.com with questions, or contact jobs <at> rinse.com directly.
Not if it follows a regular schedule.
The land fill presumption is still the safest bet.

The author said that he doesn't wash his clothes. By this we can infer that he brings his dirty laundry — for who knows how long — to a donation facility. I've volunteered at enough non-profit donation facilities to know that they don't launder intake. The expense is too high, and amazingly, most people don't bring in dirty clothes. If something is clearly not clean, it goes in to a separate bin for disposal.
How a differential works on a car or truck
I appreciate the effort but DNT will remain an opt-in for me, not a weak opt-out based on purely on trust. That means Adblock, Ghostery, Noscript, and whatever is required to ensure that websites don't collect data about me when I don't want to. I want to choose to whom I give my data; because I also may want to do that when I trust or want to support a website.

This is all about principles. When I say "no" it means no. Especially in this times of guerilla wars against privacy. We have to win this fight, because privacy is one of the fundamental human rights.
yes you nailed it. At the moment if there are multiple implementation the author can just (rather arbitrarily) add the github implementation he/she likes the most as "github" link, and other code implementations as side links. ie rnn-char (http://gitxiv.com/posts/W6Y3pLrEAG5jmuJzz/char-rnn) main and original torch implementation, with to the side extra info + links to pure python, chainer, caffe (apollo).
Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it works for now :)

yes it does, but I was just making an example from my viewpoint.
I'm really tired of Reddit. I still find myself going over there looking for stupid content just to relax my mind after a very busy day.
I have my own preferred subreddits and I used to think that was a fine way to spend some spare time here and there -- reading stuff that might seem clever, or that I wouldn't have stumbled upon in other ways.

Now it's different. Most of the time I think the time I spend browsing reddit is not well spent anymore. Even in the good subs I followed the hivemind has taken over. Pun threads are everywhere and even the most serious subreddits appear to me as shallow ghosts of what they once were.

The way Reddit's the frontpage of the Internet, is a way I don't like anymore.

Maybe it's me, maybe it's always been like that and I just happen not to like it anymore, after the n-th silly image turned into a sillier photoshop job or an even sillier meme. After the n-th drama stemming from the fact that Reddit as company is basically shit.

Or maybe something really changed.

Either way, I'm putting a 127.0.0.1 www.reddit.com line into my hosts file, and try and get rid of the slightest temptation to visit it once more. Let's see what happens in the next month.
I'll try to read more books, I guess.
Naked men and women bundled for the arctic doesnt seem quite right for me. I'm older and like it a little bit warmer, so I sympathize with the ladies. I just add a sweater, but then my girlfriend says that I have the fashion sense of a mule.

Summers are the worst. Often the thermostats are in sun-facing offices, and the worker bees are in a windowless open plan cave. Some poor sod gets to sit under the vent with a chill factor of 40 degrees. My compromise is to telecommute.
The title was changed before you made your comment btw. Current title is fine.
This is Piwik, open source self-hosted analytics, and it does honor DNT by default.
Wow, this article sort of explains my situation fairly well. For years I use to get around on a bicycle to/from work and school. So, I was exposed to the hot Kansas summers so much so that I can't really tolerate temperatures below 75 F without at least a long sleeve shirt on. Just for the record, I'm biologically male (even though I'm mtf trans). So, you could say I'm on the end of the normal curve of this situation.
> The challenge in moving large amounts of scientific data is that the open Internet is designed for transferring small amounts of data, like web pages

Isn't there FTP for large data transfers?
Yeah, Meatball was/is another one of the pre-Wikipedia forks of C2, focusing on the dynamics of online communities and social forces. It was a fair bit more touchy-feely than C2, because instead of the technical aspects it includes a lot of applied psychology and sociology and observances on how groups behave.
How to tell if Windows 10 is succeeding (it's not as easy as it sounds)
Ask HN: Solo developer successful startups examples?
Maybe a solo developer can't do everything but with a bit good taste, social skills and a small niche, he/she can invent a sustanaible project at least to earn enough for himself.. or not?
I wish them the best of luck but without a majot title tied to shipping with this I'm dubious.

Without a clear vision of features needed feature creep can really set in. Also different engines are built for different needs and a catchall engine ends up being not too great at anything.
If I get this correctly, this would help make a backup of archive.org. It would download a big amount of data and then store it for... one month, until the instances expire? That seems rather wasteful of bandwidth and effort, or am I missing the point?
The chemistry PhD job market is generally considered oversupplied, particularly with the pharmaceutical industry in general retrenchment (see, e.g., <http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2011/01/07/the_phd_prob..., and yes I do realize the age of that link, but nothing much has changed since then).
You must be doing something seriously wrong if you are a dev in Dallas and haven't found anything after a couple weeks.

I live in Fort Worth, I was in the market last month and I got flooded with offers for interviews from the North Dallas area (Addison, Plano, Frisco). Not talking about these "urgent requirement" emails from indian recruiters, this is actual local recruiters I have dealt with before.

My background is pretty much like OP: I learned to program BASIC on the C64 and dropped off college, the difference is I did all that in South America. Since I came to the US in 1999 I haven't had trouble finding a dev job besides being unemployed for 6 months after the dot-com bubble.
20% more is high, I think, unless they are including health insurance in that 20%, in which case it's low, or unless they are going through a body shop/hr outsorcing scam. Workers comp is pretty minimal for tech workers (though... these people drive to on-site? that could drive up workers comp rates) and the employer side of the payroll taxes are 7.5% Yeah, you've gotta pay someone to figure it out, but that's a job that scales pretty well.

That said, it's an interesting move, I think one we'll see more of. I mean, you provide the end-client a lot more peace of mind if you actually have all the required insurance. That's what I think is so weird about most of the housecleaning "agencies" - most of them 1099 their cleaners... meaning that nobody has worker's comp covering the cleaners, which is a iffy situation for everyone involved.
What questions can you answer with this data? Hours spent coding is a vanity metric, it doesn't offer actionable data.
