Companies shouldn't hire employees they don't trust. They may choose to watch out for bad behaviour (i.e. not answering emails when expected), however employees should never need to be watched at the level you're suggesting.

Yeah that is a very straight-forward sequence, however some people just seem to be more comfortable with numbers. Either approach could be taken as long as it is mapped out like you did above.

From experience hello world is actually a terrible first thing to show someone in a scripting language since it is pretty much a dead end. Seeing "Hello world!" is not really that rewarding when compared with something like

Well punk music has an iconic visual style associated with it. That goes back to the 70s. I'm sure there was something before that too... this is definitely not a first.

If you're willing to part with it you should consider giving it to someone that doesn't have a computer. Otherwise, just save the computer and run another operating system on it for testing or hold on to it until you find a need f

I've written something similar too. Adding plugins/modules was like a rite of passage for anyone digging into the redis source. I'm definitely happy to see modules getting official support now though.

I don't think this is actually an issue. You can always add context to searches -- rather than searching for just "stevia" you can search for "stevia iOS layout"

I agree that political correctness should not be the focus of a technical discussion, and like-wise there shouldn't be anything remotely offensive in those kinds of discussions either. Just as political correctness eats away at your so

Of course these discussions do get out of hand, and it's true that not all forms of inequality are completely valid in all cases, but it seems best to ignore the people you disagree with instead of trying to convince them to be like yo

It's pretty interesting that the people complaining about people being offended too often are so easily "triggered" by other people being offended. I've been noticing this a lot lately, even on HN. Someone will mention e

Also, gphoto2 is great for interacting with cameras using the command line. I will typically use it to import/backup all the images directly from a camera but it has so many more features. I believe darktable uses it behind the scenes

This looks nice, but I typically use something like this: curl https://api.github.com/users/[username]/repos | jq .[].clone_url | xargs -n 1 git clone Only works for public repos though.

Speaking in front of people and working in groups are extremely valuable skills, even for introverts. This is like saying that people who don't enjoy physical activity should skip P.E. class -- in both cases there is both a developmen

The headline is a bit like saying "Painters sells dried paint for 90k" or "Programmer sells series of characters for 90k" Technically it's accurate, but it misses the point entirely. Richard Prince, whether you like

That doesn't have much to do with him using non-free computer systems though. As a side note: the pendulum is swinging the other way in regards to cholesterol - so in many cases doctors are not actually concerned about high cholesterol

Oh yeah that is a little more complicated. I'd still imagine that he might choose death, I suppose that will be a real test to his ideology if it ever occurs.

I know many people, a lot of doctors, who say that they would prefer to just be allowed to die when the time comes. Not everyone expects to have their lives extended by modern medicine and even if you do get longer to live, it usually isn&

Thanks, this is the kind of response I was looking for. I was under the assumption, after reading a couple of articles that they were more or less hacking anything they could, and creating a network of vulnerable machines that could then b

At the expense of the sanity and security of those who the foreign intelligence is meant to protect? This is an obvious abuse with extreme existential consequences. Sort of reminds of this book I read as a kid: http://en.wikipedi

So you won't complain if your family are killed by the police?

You're talking about continuing to work with them, right? It is possible that it is just a technicality, I guess. I would probably ask them why they want me to sign their contract over my own before I just bailed on them. My decision w

Writing too much code can make you a worse programmer. The real way to get better is to pick an area of study and research the shit out of it, even non-technical aspects if applicable. Go back as far as you can and read every canonical boo

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely good cops, but at the same time - they protect the bad ones, so it's hard to say. The same officer that helps someone with their Metro card can be the officer that 5 minutes later is "

Right, at a certain point it comes down to the officer's life versus the life of the civilian. This is a tough situation because you essentially saying "I am going to kill you before you kill me" - which is definitely not ho

Well, for instance we heard about Charles Ramsey finding those three missing women. Also, today on the local news I saw a report about truckers saving a woman and child from a burning car on the freeway. The things that police are used for

I would love to read something about how the police didn't kill someone. It seems like most of the people that help other people are "strangers" - are there any kinds of statistics on how often the police actually help? I&#x

I think you should worry about the product, then the customers before you even consider investors. With that attitude it seems more like you're trying to make some easy money on your idea rather than just building it and seeing what h

This is totally inappropriate here - take it somewhere else. I see no problem with them saying that being inclusive is something they care about...
