My biggest gripe with single-page apps is the lack of any sort of standard URL structure. With normal websites, even dynamic ones, you could pretty much put bookmarks almost everywhere. And the only times where you couldn't was probably in spots where the developers didn't want you to for some odd reason (say an intermediate page within a signup wizard).

But single-page apps completely break that. It then becomes some sort of hit/miss issue of whether or not that specific implementation of a single-page app's dynamic URL will behave nicely. Will it post, will it alter something, will it complain and just send me back to the main page? I don't know, and the URL doesn't necessarily tell me that.

Ironically, this is how I came across this post. I was trying to find valid/genuine criticism of single-page apps.
The answer is here, it's basically a psychology experiment: https://medium.com/@Oxford_University/how-do-you-design-the-...
Right, so innate it is. Folks who have studied design will be upset to learn this.

Again, I'm not saying that this is a perfect example, but the points he makes are valid. I've had to deal with similar issues creating figures and illustrations for scientific manuscripts. Scientists are not great illustrators by and large, although some are. It's worth studying the successful examples, and to adopt their practices.
What I find even more important:

> In either case, students will still be expected to contribute toward their own educational expenses from summer income, savings and part-time work during the school year. Students are expected to contribute at least $5,000 per year from these sources but are not expected to borrow to make the contribution.
WOW Thank You! Very useful indeed.
Modelling the basics of a human lung isn't all that difficult. You can see the effects of vaping on an enclosed space just by having the smoke pulled into an enclosed space like they used to do for cigarettes. That would give you substances created though the vaping process and likely to stick in the lungs. Longer term effects are drastically harder obviously as it doesn't take into account the cleaning mechanisms in the lungs but for basic verification that something is toxic that's not a difficult bridge to cross.

Now when you get into whole body or things with mutations such as cancer I agree with you while heartedly. While we can understand in a petri dish how to kill something in a human you've got to worry about things like delivery, hidden single cells, toxicity, and drug proliferation all of which can be different in every single person with a cancer. In biotech we're still just barely out of the dark ages.

To bring this to the original topic, we're still in the dark ages with fields like economics. While we understand many of levers that exist we have little idea of how and when to effectively pull them.
I think a better title might be "A vast majority of programming is done at a level of abstraction that this author is slightly uncomfortable with".

If you work in Java or Ruby or Python or C#, or even C++ all day with say, an IoC container for argument's sake, you're certainly not constantly thinking "okay this interface will be resolved to this type, which has these dependencies which will be resovled to these types, which generate this byte code, which generates this JITed assembly code, which generates this machine code, which generates these executions of instructions on the processor and accesses these memories, which invokes these manipulations of these gates and flip flops on this particular part of the ALU".

Doing so would be the mark of an unproductive madman.
It seems they did some comprehensive testing to make sure there are no bugs. What else should they do?
What possible reason could you have for not including example images on the site? Why should I need to take the time to fill in a bunch of fields to see what you're offering?
Classic Usenet joke: a parody of the old-fashioned “MAKE MONEY FAST” email chain letter.

Agreed on the importance of good management. Something I read recently, but resonated with me.

People don't leave companies, they leave managers.
Actually, you have to go a bit beyond 16 bytes to be sure.
The remediation would be to leave the restaurant that lets customers demand more salt, and get a job at a restaurant where salt is applied correctly and customers can take it or leave it.

In other words, if you're good at programming, why are you in the custom software business instead of something more scalable?
Which big book thread? :)
The buildings that survive are the ones we are left to look at.

And in such a young, rapidly expanding country, a far smaller percentage of the buildings are old, even if every one of them had survived.
I used this service to legitimately sell my copyfree art for bitcents. The only problem is that I am obscure enough that I don't exactly get a lot of bitcoin.

However, a fan or two did donate 100 BTC to me over two weeks, which was worth around 20 bucks.

I don't expect to make much money until I become a famous artist.

In any case, the irony is that I earned more money in drawing for the past 4 weeks than I have earned in programming for bitcoin. That isn't exactly surprising. My sites are not yet of high quality to be used seriously by anybody.
On pretty much all benchmarks -- just Google scholar search. We used GCC but only because it's portable. Performance wise on IA-32(e) GCC is {EDIT:Language} not as good.
I think having some sort of application form is key when hiring anyone off of CL. It really helps weed out the ones who just won't put forth much effort.
Yes, if Chrome had Gmail, etc integration built into the client I would prefer that not be in Chromium.
Well, Watson (Watson Q&A) can only "answer" with a set of verbatim selections from the texts it has previously digested and been trained upon. Lots of folks struggle to understand this, and IBM seems not particularly diligent in correcting them, thus the idea that Watson can synthesize novel answers or insights persists.
A couple ways.

First, you get to record a video greeting card as part of the flow. This allows you to really sell your recipient/victim on the prank.

Second, we make sure that all the info is customized and specific to the recipient. If you order the airline ticket prank for example, we'll email you to get your frequent flyer numbers and stuff and make sure that we get the right legal names on the fake eTicket.

We tested it out on our wives last week. It...was...hilarious.
When my wife and I lived in the NYC suburbs with our infant, we never drove my car. Who wants to wake a sleeping baby to get her in and out of a car seat when you can just walk into the train with her stroller? But in New York, even in the suburbs, you can get everywhere you need to go on the train.

The bigger problem is schools. Big city public school districts are a total disaster. Though not for any inherent fact of geography, just politics and demographics.
China breaks internet for western users to enforce their own laws everywhere.

USA breaks non-US sites one way or another to enforce their own lays everywhere (example: forcing multinationals to remove content from european-hosted sites).

Why is one good and the other bad?
I think to a point, a lot of us want to believe that Perelman is truly noble and and dedicated to the purity of mathematics. It would serve as a great fable of the modern age. A man challenging the tripe and political aspects of society we have created.

If you've read "Perfect Rigor", the book by Masha Gessen, it shows as far as I can tell that some of that is true. He doesn't believe in profiting from mathematics. At the same time, some of the stories make you wonder what he wants from others:

When he was 17 he taught at a summer math camp for gifted math kids like himself, he would give 15 year-olds problems that were 2x the normal even for them without consideration to their actual skills and then attempt to deprive them of lunch if they couldn't finish half of it.

"A year later, when [the author] asked Rukshin [Perelman's childhood mentor] to get a copy of Morgan and Tian's new book to Perelman, Rukshin demurred; the last time he had tried to pass on a gift from a foreign admirer, he said, Perelman had lobbed the gift-a classical-music CD-at Rukshin's head."

Nevertheless, his brilliance at math is undeniable. I just don't think his reasoning is particularly honorable from what I've read of it.

Note: I realize the excerpts might be a bit tangential, but I thought it was of some value to mention some of his odd behavior.
At the end of every Bing TV add (at least on US Television), the spoken tag line is "Bing, the decision engine from Microsoft" (combined with the Microsoft logo in the corner), so I don't think the advertisers are shying away from the affiliation.
Other terrible, horrible, no good very bad ideas include toolbars that fly out on page load and pop ups that ask you to read some message that i completely ignored while I tried to hit the 12x12px 'X' button in its top right corner.

Otherwise, great article. I need to remember to click that new Safari 'Reader' button.
Nice! Needing an account was the biggest reason I stopped using Docs for phone screens.
Pay us (doctors) for vaccinations or pay us more later for treatment?

Pay us (construction workers) for high quality materials now, or pay us later for repairs?

Pay us (clothing manufacturers) for high quality clothes now, or pay us again later when yours wear out?
It is probably close enough they can get away with it.
Building a list doesn't work for me either. It gives every indication that I succeeded in creating a list, but the tutorial tells me I'm not doing the right thing. =(
You should do a lot more research on this topic before talking about it.

People do not choose a sexual orientation, nor do they choose the color of their skin. Discrimination for natural factors is the antithesis of America. All men are created equal, common welfare, etc.

Believing in a rigged election is up to the whims of an individual. The same as how believing violence is an acceptable answer is the whims of the individual. Those are perfectly discriminatable factors, and rightfully so.

Also, for reference, legally yes a cake shop can choose to not make cakes for any reason.
> we can fix it

This "we" is nonexistent. It will never reach mainstream usage with its current bad UI/UX, and people have not fixed it. I don't think it will ever reach feature parity.
> Hetzner is a German company, OVH is not.

> That being said, GPortal is also a German company and #3 overall,

Gportal (Ociris GmbH) is #1 in Germany, by far. 8,291 (24.2%) vs 3,380 (9.8%)

> but they're a dedicated provider of game servers, rather than commodity servers.

Why does that matter? The statement is about Minecraft servers and why Germany is popular.

Seems if you were going to name drop one to support that reasoning you'd use the most popular one.

Heztner is neither the leading Germany Minecraft provider, nor the leading overall provider, both by a wide margin.

I appreciate you joining HN to comment and clear that up though.
Nowadays they will install a WebAssembly module or use your GPU instead.
Not very vlose, like the people say here. Russia is trying to punch way above its weight when it claims that it can trigger one.

Putin's Russia is a small player and this war is about to make him and them even smaller.
I presume that "graph" here means "data structure" rather than "graphics". I could see creating the data structure in Lisp code just in passing, with no library needed. Easy. Computer graphics? Not so much.
At least this one is in June. Whenever they do one in December, you have to suffer through a terrible explanation of what a leap second is from a TV newscaster, explaining why the ball isn't going to drop for an extra second.
Is the protocol documented somewhere? Would be great to see a software implementation of that.
Why is a censorship-resistant tool linking to a Facebook post? I'm not going on FB.
The Nixon pardon was issued after he left office and was for any crimes he committed while in office. Specifically in the past.
Interesting - what's your objection to auto-doc systems (4)? I assume you mean things like javadocs and python docstrings, which I make use of a lot and people I code with find helpful, too.
Not sure if I'd given my feedback on jmockups earlier, but this is the sort of thing I was wanting jmockups to be.

Monthly pricing - I don't know how often I go through periods where I need to design sites, so paying $240/year for the few times I'd need this is a little on the steep side, but I understand others might want/need more.

The core system looks nice - congrats.

EDIT: couple of thoughts:

change "examples" to "templates", then have an 'examples' link later with examples that people have built using the tool.

lastly, I'm slightly confused by the diff between a 'layout' and a 'mockup' (and then I also have 'designs' that I did). This is still confusing to me.
Since the story link is just to the project github page, here's a blog post from the person who did the performance optimization talking a little more about what he did:

http://blog.patshead.com/2011/04/improve-your-oh-my-zsh-star...

Here's the exact pull request for that commit, with quite a bit of discussion about why it's faster and why it was done the "wrong" way before:

https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/pull/269

Hope that helps anyone else who was curious about exactly what was changed!
My thoughts were similar, the content was interesting but the Jeff Atwood writing style had claimed another victim. As a writer, I strive to have my words and ideas express themselves without the constant use of italics, bold and exclamation points. I understand it's a choice (and God knows, it's made Jeff Atwood famous) but there's only so many important things to say in an essay and chances are they don't need to be bolded as badly as one might think.
And, for me, the major impact of those YouTube videos has been the adorable parody of a robot and its robodog: https://youtu.be/y3RIHnK0_NE

I really like line because their desktop app is extremely good, very fast and doesn't consume a lot of resources (it's not an electron app :))
yes, but ``"100+" > 100`` is ``false``

Non-touch iPods as well.
You can do it in phases, preemptively. If your area isn't overrun with the virus right now and isn't close to one that is (e.g. my area, with four hospitals and ~2 total confirmed cases), ask for volunteers to be infected, preferring those with a high likelihood of transmission (e.g. health care workers, bus drivers, grocery store clerks, etc) to less risky individuals (e.g. people who can work from home or have relatively solidary jobs, like sanitation workers).

It only really works if you act decisively and can infect enough of the population before the virus really gets started in your area. I would sign up for that, provided I didn't just father a child, if only to get it over with.
My understanding of LQMT is that they have a special amorphous alloy/production method. As far as I'm aware, the "liquid" moniker is simply marketing.

The article seems to be talking about applications of metal alloys that are genuinely liquid at STP. Not really related?
Neat. I've played around a bit with a kit of different densities of aerogel made by Philips, crazy material properties, especially on the less dense end of the spectrum. The lightest was something like 3% glass by volume, eerie stuff.
That's incredible! Amazing UI and interactivity!
According to the Society of Critical Care Medicine, the United States has more than 200,000 available ventilators. However we have less than 50,000 staff trained in mechanical ventilation that can support a maximum of 125,000 patients. Furthermore, we only have 90,000 ICU beds to put patients in.

Yes the media is telling you there is a shortage, they don't understand that the problem isn't a lack of machines.
That is an excellent guide, albeit written with information that may turn out to be incomplete or wrong in the fullness of time.

Interesting that he recommends 500mg of Vitamin C TID and 5000IU of Vitamin D daily.

Vitamins A, C and E, in particular, have an anti-oxidant effect. One of the notable changes with age in the lung is a decrease in anti-oxidants.

Of course we have learned since Linus Pauling's time that taking supplements and certain foods for their anti-oxidant value is not much use, likely because intra-cellular anti-oxidants are not particularly derived or influenced by dietary intake of same.

One small difference here, however, is that the active anti-oxidants in the surfactant layer of the surface of the alveoli are, unlike the intra-cellular situation, almost entirely diet-derived.

FYI Vitamin A is horrendously toxic in overdose. All the fat-solubles require care in dosing and some vitamins, certainly C, can interfere with medications.
Fyi: that's not a typo. See the middle of page 2, where the author introduces "the FredEx problem". The caption for figure 1 on page 3 also references the same problem.
And remember to remove the CNNIC Root CA from your certificate store unless you know you need it.
Having been scrum master myself at different times, you would be surprised how many times people outright lie "What did you do yesterday" part. They are not necessarily evil or lazy or stupid. It's becoming just super hard for people to be disciplined and stay away from distractions from so many things. Comparatively, distractions by people around in open offices is nothing.
heh, yeah, was a snarky joke, and in hindsight not my best
You haven't established the link between wealth and an understanding of productivity so much as asserted that wealth is a proxy for knowledge/intelligence.
Possibly. But whoever's behind it end up looking kind of bad, since Github has not capitulated.
Maybe the problem is that they're trying to hold asset prices up at a completely bananas level. And because it's such a crazy high level, the only way people will hold them is constant money printing.

Perhaps letting the prices return to levels that are based on fundamentals instead of constant printing would solve the problem. There's no guarantee it becomes a spiral, especially if the deflation is mild.

Mild deflation with zero interest rates is roughly the same as zero inflation with slightly higher rates or mild inflation and moderate interest rates. There's very little technical difference between the three so long as the delta is only 2% or so.

In other words, the world wouldn't grind to a halt with 2% deflation. It's 20% deflation that causes the spiral, not 2%. Unless of course you're so heavily financialized that 2% makes all your models blow up and your banking sector is so entrenched in and around the government that they can hold an entire country -- if not the world -- hostage.
> Seventeen blocks that can’t be arranged into a rectangle? Give me a break.

Give me a break.

Is multiplication anything but shorthand for counting the number of blocks in an M by N rectangle?

So then, how is that not an adequate whatever for 17 being prime?
It may not be be the traditional math you learned in school alongside long division and multiplication, but it's math all the same.

I've always wondered what the proper criteria for "reasonable salary" were. Care to offer one of your wonderful Hacker News summaries on that matter?

By the way, it's great to see a qualified member of the HN community offering help to Etymonline. Do let us know if anything comes of it (he's says he's made contact with a local tax lawyer, but based on your reputation here, I'd rest easier if he were in your hands ;-).
Agreed. It definitely needs an optional auto-hide for those of us who use Gnome-Do and the like.

Imho that's the ultimate solution to limited screen real-estate on netbooks and tablets - no more menu at all, replaced by an easy hotkey that pops up a panel with all the functionality and information you need.

Menu bars are relics, but maybe the UX designers making these decisions think that's too much of a departure from what most of their users already know?
On an aside, this whole RSS is dead meme is extremely annoying. A universally-adopted dead-simple file format that is the plumbing for all manner of random data around the web can not be "killed" by social stream platforms.

This is just a horrible example of echo-chamber thinking run amok. Just because RSS Readers are no longer a hot space to be in does not suddenly mean that the closed platform dujour is somehow superceding RSS. Does anyone have any idea of how many of Twitter's "100 million" actually log on regularly? Or what the engagement value of a Twitter follower is vs an RSS subscriber?

Humans are social, so a social service is always going to get more users than a serious tool (well, as long as it's "cool"). But does anyone think the need for finding and filtering quality information is going away any time soon? RSS sure offers a lot more hope than Twitter.

I've enjoyed reading the "U.S. Financial Diaries": http://www.usfinancialdiaries.org/. I build online and mobile banking for credit unions and have been using the stories they've collected as a gut check to make sure we're keeping the low- to moderate-income households in mind.
Hmm, could they be lying to keep the Olympics? If so, how would they get away with it?

Long live LibraryThing! Cool service and cool library people.
As far as new networks go, that appears to be happening.
The worrying thing about a 10-person startup is their lack of money.

And possibly their unproven business model. Which can lead to managers making petty decisions about money and individual worth.

Since not every 10-person startup becomes the next Google. Instead, most of them becomes the next Froogle, that probably shouldn’t have existed to begin with.
I do not have the option on Safari in iOS.
It is unfortunate, but - Internet have started as an ARPA project. First rockets to space started with military funding.

Question is... what are current goals of Boston Dynamics? Do they even see these robots used for non-military widely used scenarios - construction, medical care, first-responders etc? Are these things even possible for the things where cost is an important factor (unlike military, where cost is not that important)?
There are lots of different levels of classification. Not all interaction with all classified information needs to happen in a SCIF.
