I'm not completely sure it's his code. In his comments, he says it is for "those who are interested in trying something like this," and the readmes of most of the repos thank Tavis Rudd for inspiration, which would be a little strange if he wrote them. It might be based on his system, though, since he said he had privately sent some people his code. I haven't looked into it too much, though.

You can find my setup on GitHub fairly easily right now (my screenname's the same), but at the moment a good portion of the code is embarrassingly terrible. Making voice commands to code while using those voice commands to code is predictably awkward. Besides, I want to write some documentation on how to get it working and stuff.

Happened to me just now. 2015? What are some good theories on why this happened?
Spot the guy who is/should be doing NaNoWriMo ;)
Obviously it's not as nice as Webkit's dev-first, production second model. And, since no patches are being introduced from the community, I would think that a better description would be "creative-commons code." This is indicative of a production team that thinks reddit is more than just operating software, and views the OSS model as community outreach rather than creation of their product. Sure, OSS patches would fix bugs, but the developers are tracking community needs, and developing against their target; the code follows that.

Reddit: the community

Reddit: the site software

Reddit: the open source branch.

Reddit: the t-shirt.

Reddit: the placemat.

Reddit: the flamethrower.
Given the lack of context, I amssume that, sure, you definitely should have answered "yes, your new haircut is nice"
Maybe someone with more experience in Washington can explain this better than I can, but everyone should know that the tenancy of people to move from government agencies into the industries those agencies regulate is rarely a case of nefarious corruption. Two facts contribute much more: (1) a person who is familiar with the inner workings of the agency is immensely valuable to industry because there are genuine confusions and inefficiencies in the industry about the regulations and (2) there really aren't that many highly qualified people in the world in any particular niche industry (like airport scanners).

I'm not saying that corruption doesn't happen or isn't happening in this case (the case of unconscious bias--rather than outright corruption--is an even bigger concern), I'm just saying it's a mistake to reason that "Person X took a job at company Y after previously regulating Y at agency Z. Therefore, corruption."
Star Trek pictures? Really HN?

Reddit might be a better place to post this:

thx for the suggestions. we do have a sfw version longerurls.com
There is no doubt that "people" find this relevant and interesting. Do "good hackers", in their capacity as good hackers, find it relevant and interesting? I would definitely expect to see it high on the front page of Reddit, but this is not the sort of thing I come to Hacker News for. Politicians using their positions for future profit is not an interesting new phenomenon in any way.
This is one of the reasons your Open ID should have been formed like an email address, ie, username@domain.ext

That way, sites can immediately tell the domain name of the provider, and the user to verify, without having the extra selection step for the user. It's also more familiar to users.

This is one of the reasons I decided to not go with OpenID as primary identity authentication for Appleseed.
Not any more. We literally have a predictive function that takes DNA sequence as input and returns intelligence-correlate as output. It is public and you can run it with a couple of lines of Python.

Organic is a huge industry which actively fights gmo products. Regardless of actual organic produce, you have to pay to get the organic certifiers and organic labeling.
And if it wasn't for Gradle, it would have been forgotten for now.

The language that was supposed to replace Java in JEE and Spring.
This is my thought too. I have another brand of ear buds, and even at the lowest level setting it’s a little loud for me. But the average Joe just jams them in their ear and sets the volume to down out a lawnmower. And then is surprised when they get hearing damage?
By keeping up with lobbying organizations and lobbies disguised as "think tanks". (Lobbies had a major influence on Brexit for example. In other words, lobbies are really powerful.)
They don't. It's a Usenet group.

Google bought Dejanews and was an acceptable Usenet archive, for a time.

Then Google put the Usenet groups under the same umbrella as their proprietary groups.

Then their index became spotty (and you could retrieve some posts under groups.google.com, but not groups.google.de, or vice versa).

Today, Google Groups is near useless for Usenet.
We could also burn the plastic for peaker plant electricity. Good short term solution considering all the factors.

Why we don’t I have no idea. The fuel is basically free. And the co2 impact is much less than building energy storage.
Predictable :)
But then why it's not compared in the same ballpark as JS, Python? They all have JIT as well. But Java is compared against AOT compiled languages.
Besides the point.

I may rather clean up after a service animal; but it might well take me far longer, and thus incur a higher real cost on business - it's all very circumstantial. There are shepherds (a common service animal) that will saturate a closed vehicle with hair in 2 minutes - front, back, between the seats, under the carpet, on the ceiling, everywhere. And the hair gets tangled in the fabric weave so you need special rotary brushes or hours of painstaking manual work to remove. Whereas some vomits, disgusting as they are, are 3 min with a cloth and bucket.

Anyhoo - point being, there are desirable things we as society want to see; but we shouldn't be blind as to impact/cost that those goals have on those who are on point to actually enact them; and at the very least they should have our empathy, if not ideally an attempt to compensate/accommodate/compromise.
Has Facebook made any public comments about this breach yet?
Yes, exactly; it's completely up to you. Having exercise as part of your commute means that you don't get to put it off because you're busy with work, or you've got chores to run, or you don't feel like it, and then a few days go by and you've lost the habit.
Depending on what is meant by 'programming,' computer science really grew out of mathematics and occasionally physics departments at colleges in the late 50s and early 60s. Disciplines started establishing CS departments in the US around the mid- to late- 60s. I'd say anyone exposed to that period on could be considered as having formal training in "programming" in a college or university environment.

I have a good friend that worked during the 60s era programming with punch cards doing applied physics work in FORTRAN (pre 77) which was already pretty big by then. You could probably go back a bit further but I don't think much was being actively taught as a sort of course one might expect today then. So I'd say you could have at most 65ish years of programming since formal use in college.

No, it was not software engineering at the time per se but I'd absolutely call it programming.
> Imagine if all those people was doing something useful, or myself instead of writing this.

In my personal experience, reddit/HN has never been the reason I didn't do something useful. The reason was that I just didn't want to do it, and if HN didn't exist I'd just stare at the ceiling.

Do ceilings sap the intellectual potential of humanity?
Many problems can be reduced to graph coloring problems if you look at it the right way. Try understanding the standard examples (see the applications section in Wikipedia), then it is really easy to come up with your own applications.
Like when they used to show your name & profile picture after a failed login with just an email and empty password. Aside from being another inadvertant information leak, it would have been tragic if that was part of an attempt to decrease the (deliberate) login failure rates.
The internet is the most frictionless propaganda machine on the planet. AI is almost certainly being used in conjunction with human troll farms. There are firms which pay bounties on comments sections. I also think this is a reason social media should be de-emphasized: it's just too easy to game our squishy minds with a narrative.
A honest question, is Discover magazine usually this good?
As I pointed out, exactly the same content with exactly the same contributors is syndicated by profit-making entities like Answers.com anyway. There's certainly no shortage of content on Jimmy Wales' own openly-commercial and frequently-interfering Wikia (arguably Wikia making it's reputation off Wikipedia association is a far bigger conflict of any interest than any conceivable advertiser could manage...)

I'm sure most people use Wikipedia because they've heard of the site and/or it's almost invariably within the top three Google results of a search on any given topic and usually the most informative page. Maybe lack of ads helps maintain the illusion that it's "more neutral" than other user moderated communities, but I'm still not convinced that's an illusion worth paying for.
Cochran collaborator Paul Ewald (they wrote an article hypothesizing that homosexuality is also caused by a pathogen) wrote a book about that subject 10 years ago. This article reminded me about that too, probably because it mentioned the same researcher:

My brain has re-wired itself to completely ignore advertising. Never occurred to me to donate until I read this post, because I just flatly ignore ads, even from nonprofits.

Just an observation about myself that might perhaps hold true for others.

Or maybe I'm just abnormal.
And you have the winning answer to my question. Thanks :)
Because the community of contributors has on multiple occasions strongly objected to advertising, on several occasions resulting in fracturing.

In 2002 when the idea of banners ads was seriously raised the majority of the Spanish Wikipedia contributors forked and started Enciclopedia Libre, despite the fact that Wikipedia decided not to go ahead with adverts it took two years to attract enough contributors back to rival the forked site. That's not an experience the Wikipedia community want to repeat.

Back in 2004 I proposed that Wikipedia made opt-in ads so people who wanted to support Wikipedia by watching ads could do so, but there wasn't enough support for the idea to gain traction.
I think the leading example of "apple's tech versus the rest of the industry" is the use of usb - which only goes to show how weak the basis of the meme is.
Allow people to flag submissions if you want a working 'adult filter'
Right, and I definitely want to try building existing ports. But unless I'm missing something, this still requires you to write down by hand the dependencies and steps for actually building each project? That's not really feasible at the scale of GitHub.
Worth noting that chromium & firefox are in the packages list [1].

It's why I love Slack. If I remember a conversation about something two months ago I go to the room, search and find exactly what I needed.
Heh, we DDoS'ed the article about the DDoS.
Why did GitHub not just put a Bitcoin miner or a BOINC client instead of the alert? The Chinese is not going to care about the warning anyway, it would be more educational to peg their CPU to 100% usage and make some spare change while you're at it.
Interesting history, somewhat sad that the inhabitants were expelled (according to the wiki article).
Thought "another one of these..." but then laughed at the Ron Swanson / JSX reaction. I just couldn't help myself ;)
I guess this is why most administrators use telnet instead of ssh, since they don't have time to check ssh fingerprints... Well, not really. As it is, many people do make a decision based on a clear text vs OE.

Now if just Firefox would store and check fingerprints of self-signed certificates, we would get the exact same benefit when telnet was replaced by ssh.
That was the case for the old keyboard covers. The new ones are much better though.
If you don't mind sharing, may I ask how you knew/ approached these other YC Companies? Perhaps I'm naive, but I suspect a cold-email/ contact won't get me very far, especially since I'm not based in the Bay Area.
That's a good idea, though note that there's a difference between asking "Which of these two images looks more like a panda?" and "Which of these two images looks more like a panda than a dog or cat?". The latter is the supervised learning setting used in the paper, and generally could lead to examples that look very different than pandas, as long as they look slightly more like pandas than dogs or cats. The former method is more like unsupervised density learning and could more plausibly produce increasingly panda-esque images over time.

A sort of related idea was explored with this site, where millions (ok, thousands) of users evolve shapes that look like whatever they want, but likely with a strong bias toward shapes recognizable to humans. Over time, many common motifs arise:

It's a great app.
Thanks, the context of the question made this post much clearer.
I know, I will. But just in case! :)
It seems to me like this has less to do with linguistic heritage and more to do with controlling people's ability to consume media from an English-tilted Internet.

Since most people never get far in foreign language classes, media exposure is a major factor in foreign language literacy.
And genocide. Genocide is more wrong too!
It's a branch of IE7. IE9 mobile is being released in the next few months from what I hear. The Win Phone 7 team had to make a temporary trade off as to what they could have ready by launch.
The scenario in the OP is not very
promising:

E.g., we can study the natural numbers
and the integers, rationals,
algebraics, and reals, but why the
reals? Well, they are the only
complete, Archimedean ordered field.

Why do we care? We want the order
because we want to consider bigger
and smaller. We want a field because
we want to be able to do basic
arithmetic.

But why do we want
completeness? Because it says
that pi, e, square root of 2,
derivatives, and the Riemann
integral exist with few or no
more additional assumptions.

Why? With completeness we get
compactness, continuity, and uniform
continuity and, thus, know that
the Riemann integral of a real
valued continuous function on
a closed interval of finite length
exists and we also get the fundamental
theorem of calculus.

Why do we care about calculus?
Because it is the main way to discuss,
analyze, and understand continuous
change, e.g., Newton's second law
and planetary motion, fluid flow,
heat flow, electro-magnetism, etc.

And why do we care about such analysis?
Because it has been one of the pillars
of physical science, engineering,
the industrial revolution, and
the growth of technology and
economic productivity since Newton --
that is, we care about applications.

So, to understand mathematics and
why we do it and why some math is
important, need also to understand
applications to the betterment of
human life on this planet, and I'm
not holding my breath while waiting
for the automation of that!

Apparently now there is a big theme,
climb on the bandwagon, ride the wave
along with everyone else trying to
get people up on their hind legs
to grab their eyeballs for ad revenue,
of with artificial intelligence,
the machines are about to take over.

We've had many waves before -- they
come and they go. And we've had
that wave of the computers about to
take over before, and apparently we
will more times before computers
can get even remotely close to any
such thing.

Ah, basic rule: "Always look for the
hidden agenda.". Here, it feels to
me like some people are grabbing at me,
by the heart, the gut, maybe below the
belt, definitely below the shoulders
and not between the ears.
I'm not saying that the OpenBSD behaviour is wrong but that compatibility is a worthwhile goal. Adding a simple -F alias for their existing behaviour would allow people's habits & shell scripts to just work without changes.
I like MOOCs, but I am using them as continuing education while working, not as a replacement for college. For that purpose, it works quite well [1]. However, one problem is when you study a subject and get a bit stuck (currently taking Pricing Options [2], and there are a few tricky parts so far). Ideally I would like to ask questions and based on the answers continue to ask questions until I understand. As it is now, it is pretty painful to try to use the forums, and maybe get an answer. In person (or live video) with a professor or TA would help a lot. But of course that doesn't scale well.

Also, the fact that the completion rate for MOOCs is very low doesn't mean much. It is free to sign up, so many (including me) sign up only to check out a course, or to just watch the lectures.

When I was 23 (I'm 30 now) I bought my wife a $45,000 wedding ring that looks like a $45,000 wedding (if you know what I mean). It has one large center stone with two smaller stones on the side, 5ct total. It looks amazing, but...

Fucking stupid right? I thought the same thing, but I was ultra-frugal and had a hard time thinking of better things to spend my money on than making my wife happy, especially with how often I was gone (which was a lot).

I justified it to myself a few ways. First, by how much her eyes lit up when she first saw it. Second, we decided not to have a wedding because of how silly it was: pay tens of thousands for a few hours, not to mention the hassle in planning it. Third, this thing would make her smile every day for the next ~80 years. Lastly it wouldn't cause undue financial strain. I wasn't rich, but I was ultra frugal and had a comfortable amount in savings. For example I still have the same car (a now 10yr old Honda Civic) I had then. I also bought her a little ring cleaner so it always looks great because every time I see an $80,000+ car that's dirty I think, "What's the point?"

We've been married around 7 years now. Every time she looks at it it makes her smile. Everytime she looks at it she thinks of us and what we have. She still gets compliments on it all the time. How much is all that worth? How much will it all have been worth when we're in our 80's? There aren't too many ways to buy happiness, but if you could see how happy it makes her you'd see that this is one.

The interesting thing is that my wife isn't into jewelry or expensive stuff. She also has an old Honda Civic, still has the same clothes she wore in college, etc. She doesn't care about that kind of stuff and hated shopping until she was in her mid-30's and work required a change of attire. But our marriage is important to her and a wedding ring represents that for her.

If I could afford it, I would have easily paid 2-3x what I paid for the ring because it's worth it. I agree, it's stupid and it's just a rock, but it wasn't for me--it was for her and it means a lot to her. Every time I see her look at it, smile, then look at me (which she still does 7 years later) I think of how it was worth every penny.

You can buy a lot of mediocre stuff and have a lot of mediocre experiences with your wife, or you can go above and beyond with one thing that will last forever. If I bought her a $2,000 ring instead I could spend $500,000 in clothes, purses, shoes, etc. for her over 10 years and none of it would make her as happy as this thing does. It's the only thing that she always wears.

What kind of ring did I get you ask? I got a ~$25 ring from Walmart.

"...There are around 5,000 developers using [Python] at Bank of America, .. there are close to 10 million lines of Python code .. and we got close to 3,000 commits a day."

IMHO, it would be scary with any language.
It's easier to piggyback on something, for practicality reasons, and perhaps to piggyback on the perception people have of it (maliciously or not).

ADDITIONAL could simply mean added to, not necessarily extra or supplementary - added, as in, included with - an overlay of BSD.

I agree, it'd be good if Facebook was more transparent as to what it all means. Stating that you'll believe it if they modify the actual BSD license, it's far more easy to take an existing - and generally accepted license - and then make an addition instead of making changes to it, no? So you don't have to call it something other than BSD?
For anyone wondering about the similarity of the block editor (called Droplet) with Blockly, Scatch, etc., the author of Pencil Code has a good paper on Droplet and previous work: http://ideas.pencilcode.net/home/htmlcss/droplet-paper.pdf
Dialysis also requires expensive medicine, like e.g. EPO, which contributes to a non negligeable part of the cost. The 77000 $ / patient surprised me a little because the figures I have heard in France (family members involved in dialysis treatment)are actually higher, not lower.
1h+ of moderate-to-heavy exercise daily for the rest of your life. get to and commit to remaining squarely in the middle of the healthy weight range for your height.

pick one high skill cap activity (so, any activity) separate from your work and commit to 300h a year of trying to get better at it for at least the next decade. do not directly aim to make money with this activity, just try to get as good as you can. (obv if you already have something like that that you enjoy, just keep going with that).

Commit to using the time left after carving out space for the above to doing whatever you need to become financially independent by 40, if you are not already. Make a 10 year plan for how you are going to get there and focus on carrying it out. This should be a very achievable goal given that you are on Hacker News.

Fasting, both intermittent (< 24 hr) and extended, are increasingly being recognized as powerful tools to lose weight and cure/prevent diet-related conditions like diabetes and metabolic disorder, thanks to the work of people like Drs. Peter Attia and Jason Fung.

In my experience IF is an easy way to cut out excess calories, and EF gives me amazing energy and mental clarity, while helping me have a healthier relationship with food.

My simplistic view on fasting is that my body stored all that excess energy as fat for the purpose of being used when food is not so readily available, a situation that may have been common in the not-too-distant past but just doesn't happen for me or most Americans today; therefore it's incumbent on me to restrict food occasionally and let the body use these stores, while performing other maintenance that is limited when digestion is occurring (notably autophagy).

Note: when I refer to fasting I mean water-only (also non-caloric drinks like tea and coffee), with electrolyte supplementation for extended fasts.
The best talent is not 75% of the work force. In this day and age having a rainbow flag or blm whatever is the equivalent of being 'a Christian company' in the 70s and 80s. All I hear is 'we will pay you less because we will make you feel better, then outsource your job the second it takes 1 cent less to do so'.

I prefer my companies honestly evil.
