Hm, re: "ads are everywhere" - is it just me, or are two of the three sample posts in the screenshot content-based ads?
First for the novel Cibola Burn, and third for the app Halide.. the middle post seemingly is a reply to an ad of some book series as well :) Or "influencer" paid content != ads?

This is fascinating. For anyone interested in a slightly odd but unique and in-depth view of Systems design and failure, would like to recommend "The Systems Bible: The Beginner's Guide to Systems Large and Small" by John Gall.

In that section, would like to add recommendations for:
- "Being Geek: The Software Developer's Career Handbook" https://www.amazon.com/Being-Geek-Software-Developers-Handbo...
- "Team Geek: A Software Developer's Guide to Working Well with Others" http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920018025.do -- Software engineering teamwork a-b-c. I'd love to work on teams where everyone has read this one.
[edit: 2nd edition of "Team Geek" is titled "Debugging Teams"; having read both, no difference which you get]

This is HN after all - some version of ES/JS:
class Eel {
valueOf () {
return 'https://imgflip.com/meme/Bad-Joke-Eel';
}
}
const craftCapacity = 331,
hovercraft = Array.from(Array(craftCapacity), () => new Eel);

Good one!
A naive strategy where they never die, and hopefully stay in prison for slightly less than a few billion years:
One prisoner is the light-counter (Mr C). Others follow a simple pattern - if the light is off, and they have never turned it on yet, turn it on. If it is already on, or they have already ever turned it on, do nothing.
Mr C enters the room, if the light is on, remembers it, and turns it off.
When Mr C has entered the room 99 times with light on, he can say 'Yes' and they are safe.
This can be optimized. How?

Re:Aren't you tired of using "cd ../"
on Tuesday August 13, 2013 @07:12AM (#6205055)
Why not? Because it changes the meaning of '.':
~$ echo date > d.sh
~$ d.sh
-bash: d.sh: command not found
~$ . d.sh
06:37:21 EDT 2013
~$ alias .='cd ../'
~$ . d.sh
/home$ Is not works!
