Please don't think that I am trying to correct you. But narcissism has nothing to do with our Snowy. It's inception, by brute force.

What Bob is doing is, he is compressing the issue to a trifle.

It's the reporter equivalent of calling "LOL OP, you are such a short sighted faggot" and receiving precious HN karma for it.

When you can't win a debate, you win by stinking it up and making others leave.

That's how trolls killed love4eva-forum.

Every sell-out reporter is doing it, for quite some time actually.

Edit: Does anyone remember the sheer Debauchery of the press, during the Occupy movement ?

Aha !

Now in,

    while m+i is less than the length of S, do:
        if W[i] = S[m + i],
            if i equals the (length of W)-1,
                return m
            let i ← i + 1
            ....

The reason why propaganda works, in my opinion is, you send a "simple" message a 1000 times.

Here the message is "young narcissistic man, who ran away"

"But bob, you are only arguing the means, not the end. Do you think, the idea of a surveillance-free America should be stiffled ?"

That question, will never be asked with equal flair, in a one way propaganda.

An offtopic clojure question.

Today I was seeing this -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth-Morris-Pratt_algorithm

How can I begin to implement it in clojure ?

Specifically, how do I _ingeneral_ deal with assignments and while loops.

In common-lisp, for example I would use the `loop` macro and defvar-sefq combo, (beginning lisper).

In ruby, = and while itself.

This is something else.

I'd like to call it, "the appeal to the bold new future fallacy, with sensationalist titles"

Is X trying to change the paradigm ? No. Use Y.

Is Y trying to change the paradigm ? Yes. Use Y

Some dumb geeks just can't handle "worse is better" !

guilt-by-association

I agree, silicon valley does not support development of behavior tracking technologies.

Strong encryption, user privacy, "really delete my data on your server", robots.txt, have all been implemented using the latest standards, across all websites.

Terms and conditions clearly state that, user data or backup data will not be mishandled by admins, although users might be purged from the database from time to time.

Nerds and Geeks are very hippie-liberal so you won't find them supporting tyrannical governments, to sell ads.

I can't even imagine a Nerd not caring, being unemotional or careless. They wouldn't hurt a puppy ! Let alone kill 200_000 sand people !

NSA hires the best nerds.

DoD hires all the scientists. The ones who don't get hired, go to pharmaceuticals (which have an excellent track record of morally dubious acts).

Nerds that I have have met or seen in mailing lists, have a strong co-relation with totalitarianism aka evil sysadmins.

I would like to call a distinction b/w Aron who is first and foremost a philosophy-geek, something that all idealists have in common.

I'm pretty sure the $$profits are because of dna finger printing technologies. No cures have been found.

* __len__() or len() : More than one way to do it ? Oh my !

* Use setuptools, easy_install, pip while we have fun with our rake and gems.

* lambda : Please have fun, with this vomit of a feature.

* __init__.py explain that to a python beginner.

* Have fun with, { "quote": "shit" } while we use our :symbols

* What scope ?

* Have you migrated code to class Foo(object): yet ?

* How is py3 coming along ? Having fun with the worlds cleanest and bossy language community ?

* Write all your list comprehensions line noise, while we add a elegant method.

I just realized, whitespace is also, precisely the entire content of a pythonista's head.

You have a tumor in your brain.

Attention to syntax is what ruby is good at.

Scala, Haskell treat syntax as a chore.

I love half eaten apples !

If NSA open sources their implementation,

every country in the world,

every telecom org,

big-data companies like Google+Yahoo+Facebook+MS+Apple,

forum software like HN+reddit+phpbb

should run it on GPLv2 cloud linux boxes

with the help of ninja sysadmins

operating without laws

to fight

* spam

* trolls

* terrorists

* people who disagree with status-quo

* pedophiles

* credit-card fraud

* psychopaths on loose

* rapists

* Steve jobs haters

I don't think HN has an admin interface, to kick all the hatrz. pg should contact the NSA !

Best of all, since state laws don't apply inside organizations, we can have "Terms and Conditions" that say

You guys trust us with your data ?

Ha ha !

No guarantees

what ever

Does anyone watch american TV shows ?

The idea that security > privacy is brainwashed into the american masses.

Does anyone work as a sysadmin ?

wheel users can read every one's data.

Does anyone go to internet facebook/forums/mailing-lists ?

They are mini totalitarian states where lusers are killed. The rhetoric ? Order and kill spam.

The point is, internet has never been a shining example of democracy. There are no privacy laws for sysadmins.

The internet ocean-tubes are owned by the government, the fact that they want to read email is no fairer than forum admin "banning" lusers or running sql.

In 1984, every home has a cctv. Our 1984 is a paradise. TV's are the thought police. Hollywood takes care of public anger. Internet gives faux democracy.

The government didn't do anything with it. The government only copied what admins since 1980 have been doing.

You are interacting a with an interactive cctv !

At this point, we are just guessing.

* Backbone route

* SSL, MIM hack

* indirect access like real-time backups.

* sudo RO access via vpn

* Remote Access to BigTable queries

* Team inside the company

* What china does.

Gotto love lawyers. They harp on the most ambiguous term.

Cowardice is an accurate term to describe ferengi, not to mention unpatriotic.

Who wants to give up the Jacuzzi ?

Where is Sam Lowry ?

Has anybody seen Sam Lowry ?

* Stop the wars

* Stop the spying

* Save the children

Blah blah ...

The terrorists will persist. Globe trotting capitalist crisis will persist.

Radical ideologies don't die, easily.The problem is Action <-> Reaction. You spit on me, I plot revenge.

What will happen after another deeply painful attack ?

Everyone usually just hand-waves and says "Do something !"

This is when american hypocrisy is updated to 11.0.

"I want to be comfortable ! They are the idiots, kill them ! I don't care who ! Don't tell me how, Just do it ! Don't bother me, I need to workout ! I want to bang this person you see ... "

So, faux laws are created, damage is done, lives are saved, movies are made, everyone feels icky about the new laws and then we get new presidents and new laws like new muffins.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

My point is specifically this:

My old guy, would goto

* The same barber

* Same Grocery store

* Have the Same locally made cigar

* Listen to the same news casters.

I was always the type of person who would experiment. Age is fucking with me now.

And now, like my dad I look for "virtuous" people/business to trust.

I structure my life around virtuous behavior because I have kids.

In short, people my age give money(value) to virtue.

The above addresses,

> Virtue is not value.

> Value is not virtue.

No one feels happy for being called a master chef and be paid, when he works for a fast food chain. That's the gist of OP's feeling.

> I'm trying to save him some angst.

No, you are arguing for business without morality, like the late night infomercials which, the entire 20-30 oriented startups are, in a way.

Things you never wanted, but you have an ab-cruncher in your house anyway.

People in 20-30 ages neither have virtue, nor know the meaning of value. They structure their lives around "fun", which is definable, post-hoc.

edit: by post-hoc I mean, facebook was never meant for memes, but it does now. So you say "facbook is about fun memes", "XXXX was fun". Both of them were not in the original idea, but you express the fallacy.

The fact is, the 15-30's people doze off in a third rate movie, have fun by poking and squeaking.

And I have watch, ppt's about my company's future.

There is no other way. I think the "right to privacy" is childish.

"Big Brother" was about controlling behavior but grepping phone records is not.

edit: I'd be more upset about DNA database.

Action <-> Reaction.

Was Germany humiliated after WW-I ?

Were public and self-identified jews, extravagant enough to warrant hatred ?

Let us take Cuba, South America, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq for example. Both points hold true in each. We have a new, successful Anti- movement.

Isn't it pretty darn obvious where the hate comes from ?

The solution, popular since the 60s is sadly the only way out.

"Love Not War"

The post is really about rock-star-developer-ninja ego, which is a non-problem really. Ego / Persona / Flair are all part and parcel of Hollywood / Music / Fashion / Chefs and now Software.

The question is, are you going to be sadomasochist follower or an individual (which ironically is precisely what a person with a healthy ego is).

Have good opinions. There is much to improvise in this world, nothing is final ... every class is open.

Why are you talking about guns ? It is clear that the context of the article is electronic stuff.

Are guns "geeky" gadgets ? Why aren't you posting the latest in murder weapons on HN ?

> bug free distributed asynchronous system

Have to add bugs to haskell code ?

gosh it seems impossible.

> .. messy ..

Design is messy. The implementation need not.

> “Design Patterns”, “Code architecture”, “Scalability”, “OOP”, “Maintainability”

Apart from Scalability others can be implemented from day one.

Scalability is about a dumb proxy first. Change in Data structures next.

In software, you have two choices.

1) Dumb code that works aka kludge.

The author is advocating kludge programming.

(I want to use this word distinctly from hacks, which are fewer and atleast clever)

I advocate this.

2) SQlite, Games

I advocate this too. Software that is meant to last, requires rigor.

My point is, the author is considering all programming to be engineering programming. It's not. And I do hate project managers that confuse the two.

I even concede that you can mixmatch the two (testing for eg). Why don't people see this middle ground ?

> Zen like blog editor for your Jekyll blog, heavily inspired by Svbtle and Obvtse.

What is the problem ?

>> I want to look cool like Svbtle ?

Give the stylesheet away for free.

>> I want to use browser to edit files ?

One important idea of jekyll was to use $EDITOR for blogging.

What about version control ?

> niche problem

sigh

Yeah. Read a shitty blog and know all about zen. Overload "zen" to mean cool, hip, minimal.

Advertisers re-defined love as diamonds in 50 years.

Maybe zen will be a styleshit in 2050.

<rant>

This "pop" usage of zen hurts my religious sensibilities. zen is about being a lotus in a dirt-pool.

I use a custom aspell dictionary for writing in German.

I use a word count status bar.

I use dumb vim aliases to correct "fro" to "for".

I have aliases for unicode symbols.

I have a single bash function that does the editing and push on save.

Isn't my dumb solution better than yours, for me atleast ?

WTF is so zen about full-screen ?

Why aren't you solving real problems for bloggers, getting heard in a sea of me-too's, separating advertisers(propaganda) from truth.

</rant>

edit: Grammar based correction. I'd pay for that, having corrected some just now :)

Worse is better.

Wisp, I guess provides readable js as opposed to compiled js. That's a win.
