The key point is "consciously and happily". Different people have different situations going on in their life. If you're a 23-year old single employee, you might decide that you are willing to work 60 hours a week because you really like your work. If you're a 38-year old married employee with kids, you might decide that you're only willing to work 40 hours a week because you value time with your family. Having a company that realizes that there's a difference between people, and not everybody has the flexibility or willingness to put in 60-hour weeks, that's the key.

They're programming languages that people use to solve programming problems, just as Java is.

So to run a smoke test using a language that's already installed on the computer Tim Bray is using, instead of just typing something easy into a terminal, he needs to download an entirely new application, set that up with his project (which isn't exactly a walk in the park), plug in his device, and then run it?

He wants to run a smoke test on a library he's writing. He doesn't want to run a full-blown application just to test his library, or to have to plug in a device to test his library. He wants to open up a terminal, type "java test KeybaseLib" (or something like that) and have it just work.

All of those examples work for me with Chrome 35.

One thing I would love on HN is the reluctance to say something is "lame" because one example doesn't work for one person on one browser. Instead of being dismissive, why not be constructive? Or if you can't even do that, just don't post?

There are already cheaper solutions to this: http://www.drinkspikedetector.com/howitworks.htm for example.

If you click the star next to the ingredient name, it tags that ingredient as "recipe must include this ingredient", so you can click all of the stars to do an AND.

Edit: And if you click the star a second time it tags it as "this recipe must not include this ingredient", which would be helpful for people with allergies (or picky eaters).

It's difficult to RTFA when TFA doesn't even load.

Like most anti-spam legislation, this will both hurt legitimate businesses trying to send email to people they've done business with in the past, as well as do nothing to stop spam. Spammers are still going to spam. They don't care about Canadian laws.

Epic Games makes the Unreal Engine.

The images there all have ALT tags, so that should be okay. Images comprising only text is (obviously) more bandwidth-heavy, though, so that could be seen as a bit of a mistake. It's not a design mistake though, it's more of a "care about your users" mistake.

Yeah, I saw @Stammy's tweet too. https://twitter.com/Stammy/status/473536229531586562

So? What does that have to do with anything? It's illegal in the United States to import these drugs into the United States. Amazon is based in the United States. What does it matter if they're legal or not in any other country? This story is all about importing these drugs into the United States.

Did you happen to read the whole thing?

> Does Dubia look too damn nice? Unrealistic? You came here to see the consequences of our current ecological irresponsibility... So here's Dubia, the worst-case poster child for global warming, and I've painted it as livable, even pleasant.

The author continues by saying a more-random planet will look inferior, and he's "fighting the Randomian factor".

Forgiving works when the other person has expressed regret for their actions and doesn't repeat them. Neither apply in this case. I too voted to keep him banned.

> Then they must find a copy of the virus, examine it and add it to the list of virus definitions used by their software.

Strictly speaking, this isn't true. The major AV companies use file behaviours to try to stop viruses as a first line of defense, something like "if a file is an executable and it tries to run some manner of encryption on files in the My Documents folder, its likelihood of being a virus is high". AV companies use file checksums as a last-ditch effort because most viruses out there are polymorphic (they have some unused data section at the end that randomly changes, which busts checksum detection).

A lot of AV companies also offer virus cleanup services, so if you do happen to get hit by a virus that snuck by, they can help reduce the damage.

Nobody's saying "use AV and you don't have to ever worry again". AV is just another piece of the defense puzzle, along with user vigilance (don't click that link in that email from "eBay"), operating system restrictions, network restrictions (to help prevent data egress), and so on.

That's not Twitter's fault though, that's Tweetdeck's.

Why are the rocks in the centre "fused together"? Gravity. What other force is there that makes the Moon spherical and holds it together?

The point you make about the tidally-locked orbit doesn't hold. Tidal forces are there whether or not the object is tidally locked. The tidal forces would be high enough to rip the Moon apart if it's as close to the Earth as in this article.

The Roche limit can be derived for rigid bodies (like the Moon) or liquid bodies. The one for rigid bodies is closer to the central body than the one for liquid bodies.

When the article title includes the words "every programmer", that's a really large set of programmers. I don't think a programmer working on embedded systems needs to know about SEO, nor do kernel hackers, nor do scientific programmers...

Except it shouldn't, because when you have a leap second occur, suddenly you're off by a second.

A day is a day, it's not 86400 seconds.

That coupled with the header graphic on this post (graveyard with what's probably Jesus on a cross but could be misconstrued to be a lynching) gives me all kinds of uncomfortable feelings.

Watch out for this if you try it in a city, because you could run afoul of bylaws and angry neighbours. In Surrey, British Columbia, a family tried doing this. They had piled up bark mulch and manure, and one of their neighbours complained to the city, which then told the family to remove the piles under Surrey's Unsightly Premises Bylaw. I don't know the outcome (I haven't found any articles after this point) but if you start piling bark mulch in your back yard, make sure you don't piss off your neighbours doing it.

For those of you who might be looking to move away from Moves, you could give Breeze a try. It's only available for the iPhone 5S (because of its M7 chip). It was announced last week by Runkeeper: http://blog.runkeeper.com/1547/runkeeper-debuts-new-iphone-a...

I haven't tried it, but I already have a Runkeeper account and I think I'm going to give it a shot.

Not a joke. Some appliances have what's known as "Sabbath mode", because of the Jewish restriction on doing work on the Sabbath. From Wikipedia: "When an oven is in Shabbat mode, the standard six- or twelve-hour automatic shutoff is overridden, and all lights and displays (for example, a light that might go on when the door is opened) are disabled."

Also mentioned in that link is Shared Services Canada, which appears to be a division that's tasked with bringing the various departments' IT infrastructures under a single umbrella. From their website (http://www.ssc-spc.gc.ca/index-eng.html):

"Shared Services Canada was created on August 4, 2011 to fundamentally transform how the Government manages its information technology (IT) infrastructure. Its mandate for the provision of enterprise-wide IT-infrastructure services represents better value for money and a more reliable IT infrastructure to support modern government operations."

Particularly the section titled "You can’t possibly measure that, can you?"

Little known fact: Hawaii's record high temperature (100F) is the same as Alaska's record high temperature (100F), and both are the lowest record high temperatures for the 50 states.

Alaska's record low (-80F) is a little bit colder than Hawaii's record low (15F) though.

Judging from this story (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/ca...) it would appear that the Ontario courts are pretty firmly on the side of non-competes being unenforceable. "In short, most non-compete clauses are excessive, and thus will be upheld only in very limited circumstances."

Yes. All of them.

Seriously, it's easier to just change all of your passwords than to hunt down a list (that will be incomplete and give you a false sense of security), cross-match against servers you might have an account on, then change their passwords.

Just change them all and be done with it.

The "whether they've been fixed" part is a little tougher, because that lets you know when you should change your password. General sentiment I've been seeing is give it a week for everybody to fix their stuff (even this might be a little long) and then change your passwords. If a given site says either "we weren't affected, here's why" or "we've patched our stuff, we're all good" then you should change your password on that site ASAP.
