Some time ago I was thinking about a UI design where "top" and "most recent" news are on the same timeline where you could zoom in to see more and more updates until you see every little update or zoom out where you could only see the most interesting ones. What do you think?
I'm mid-fifties and grew up reading every paper I could get me hands on, along with all the major newsweeklies. That was then. Now some days my local newspaper is handing out free sample copies on the street and most times I couldn't be bothered. Newspaper? It's over for me.

There are a lot of PHP based frameworks along you want to deal with the verbosity of the PHP language.

Two types of frameworks : "Full stack" and "glue"
"Full Stack" are more automated and 'easy' to start and create CRUD.
"Glue" are more powerful, full of libraries but less automated and a learning curve more demanding.

Full Stack
- Cakephp
- Symfony
- Kohana
- CodeIgniter

Glue
- Pear
- Zend Framework

The two extremes are Cake and Zend Framework

If you want to stay with PHP try Kohana.
If not, Rails (Ruby) or Django (Python) are the best out there.

I recommend you to stop deciding and start doing something with one of these.
1. You have effectively attempted to straw man all possible suggestions and conversation around modifying STEM-based progress by using a few anecdotes as a basis. This is not 'a point'. These are only a handful of observations.

2. You seem to be framing all possible STEM-based progress from the perspective of progress within the physics community. And this comment being at the top (currently) really diverts so many other possible enriching discussions around this topic. As another comment pointed out progress in chemistry during the 20th century that effectively donated as much to human progress as physics even though it goes mostly unnoticed by a larger audience.

3. Your argument only mentions how citations have allowed for better filtering of true-negative papers/authors, but it does not explain away overly citated papers/authors which are essentially false-positives as to being progressive.

4. It does not take extraordinary logic to find flaws in any system, so I am not sure why so many from an academic background (although not all) adopt a more defensive stance towards the existing system as if it was provably a global optimum. Would you mind engaging in conversation around this?
These are fun thought experiments, but I think having a personal Disaster Recovery plan is a far more applicable security exercise. What would you do if you lost your phone? If you were locked out of your google account? If you forgot your password manager master password? If your home was destroyed in a fire? Having a secure plan for quickly recovering from these scenarios is more important than trying to keep state actors or cybergangs out of your system, unless you are a VIP.
huh?

- No Apache????

- why force a rather devish level PSGI module on all web applications????
oh, yeah, you've been advised by the guy who made the port...

i've been using CGI::Fast under Apache for years and it has been working just PERFECTLY fine.
Do not see the need to change especially when
the PSGI doc is so badly written...
At least the doc states that people who supports mod_perl/CGI::Fast will not see much benefit of switching to PSGI...

- what is the Perl version?
Hey, let's see Google's prediction API take on this challenge, if it's so general. Just find a decent corpus and pop it into a GAE app.

In any case, I think most of us are now primed to try out some implementation or another now. It would be a lot of fun regardless of the quality. Actually, the false positives are probably funnier.
So what's happening here? Why are you doing this, and how are you going about it?
Good engineering can't take a backseat to features, deadlines, and keeping things running. Good engineering IS features, deadlines, and keeping things running.

If you aren't making features and meeting deadlines you aren't engineering anything. You're just messing around. Features and deadlines are the difference between science and engineering. There's never enough time, that's what makes it hard.

Of course, Amazon might be pushing time tables too far. I have no idea, and it seems like you do.
It may be unnecessary, but I don't think it's an abuse. As I understand it, frameworks like Rails use idioms like this quite extensively, and enabling code written in static languages to receive dynamic member calls is pretty much the point of having DynamicObject in the .NET framework.

That said, it's probably more relevant if you need to call the repository from DLR languages. And in that case you might as well choose to write the repository class in the DLR language, which will presumably have native support for dynamic method resolution.
When I saw the headline I assumed they'd be giving them away for free in exchange for ad space over the lifetime ownership of the device.
One of the commenters on Quora linked to an academic paper providing a solution to this problem. It was apparently published in ACL-HLT this year.

Enjoy. It's easily the most hilarious academic paper I've read.
Are you sure the bookmarks are lost? The extension/addon for delicious isn't compatible with FF4. You can always fish the Google Reader cache for the feed of your bookmarks. Unless they're all private there should be a copy somewhere.
There was a very brief attempt by early ICANN to pretend like it was an internet user's organization and would respond to general votes from just about all users of the internet through representative proxies. Unfortunately that scheme seemed to have just been marketing and they very quickly dropped it. It bought a lot of nerd favor for the early ICANN, but yet they've never really fulfilled any of the original promises.
Even so, it is possible for DuckDuckGo to introduce privacy-respecting self driving car services. The point still stands that nobody, ever, will be able to provide a competitive, privacy respecting, competitor to the DMV.
It's also taboo for white people to call some non-white people racist but then we can't actually have a discussion about racism.
That was the case of the original CMs (1/2/200), but the CM5 switched from the original single-bit processors to a lower number of RISC SPARC cores.

While it retained the LEDs, I don't think they had the same 1:1 correspondance to cores of the previous model: the CM1 and CM2 up to 65536 cores (the CM2 also had an FP coprocessor for 32 cores, for an additional 2048 special-purpose cores) whereas the CM5 had "only" 1056 processors.
How does Canada compare to the U.S.? United States citizens have a legal right to a safe work environment which is what drives many of the safety requirements. The others are generally best practices stemming from past lessons learned. Do Canadian workers have similar rights?

If so, your comment of " just constantly adds on new rules and regulations every year, and they don't care about your company's budget or productivity." could be read to acknowledge that it's not the government's job to preserve a company's budget or productivity, but rather preserve their citizens' right to a safe work environment.

In a perfect world, profit and safety could align but when they don't I'm not sure it's fair to chastise an organization for upholding their competing interest. The above can be all disregarded if Canadians don't have similar rights, it was just a thought.
What do you do that eats up that much data? Tethering?
> Word and Outlook are toxic waste as far as I am concerned: they frustrate me more than they serve me.

This opinion is largely shared even in the non technical world.

Outlook is a lot better than Lotus but it suffers from the comparaison with Gmail. Powerful search was a game changer for me and I miss it dearly since my company decided to switch to Office 365.

Excel and Powerpoint really are the two gems of Microsoft Office.
Another good tactic might be to put forward policies that appeal to the people in these districts. I dunno, that's probably too much work.
No, prices could still go down in real terms by remaining constant. The same for above minimum wage rates.

But by continually raising the floor, we make sure it doesn't get too far below the median or mean. That should be in everyone's best interest, both in terms of keeping the economy going by consumer spending and in terms of fairness and not having a desperately poor underclass.
You're caricaturing Krugman's view. First, he doesn't advocate for "unlimited debt" or think that there is no problem with it. He says that with the current interest rates, for many countries it would be better to take on additional debt than to engage in austerity, both in the short and in the long term. Second, he argues that the Kenneth/Rogoff paper showing some sudden onset of bad consequences at some magic level of debt/GDP is mistaken and misguided.

> You can pay today or you can tomorrow with interest.

Yes, that's how it works with individuals or households. For countries, it's a bit more complicated than that.

Finally, note that Trump's uncalled for tax cut has significantly increased US debt for basically no benefit (except enriching corporations and the very rich), while those arguing against austerity would want to incur some debt for productive purposes, enhancing growth down the line.
#TyMS Weights appears as the only system that can provide all fonts with the correct weight name.
Assume your sources of traffic are uniformly distributed among 75000 resolvers

I think your argument is flawed because your users are not uniformly distributed among those 75000 resolvers.

In practice just ~1% of the resolvers (Comcast, NTT, Telekom, etc.) are handling >90% of your users. Consequently the benefits of caching kick in much earlier and stronger than you suggest.
Please point me to the large codebase your ported from Java to Go -- if you don't have actual data, just two people making up idiotic numbers let me get involved.

Go is 185175% better than Java and 8165% better than Haskell -- or making up numbers just makes us all look like goddamn idiots.
1. Act they way your Grandpa would have: with deference to their knowledge and a healthy dose of confidence (you did get hired by these people). There's a pecking order, and that's OK, but don't let the socially deficient define how you feel about yourself.

2. Sadly it's been the norm at both my jobs. It gets better after a while.

3. Yes and No. I've met some unbelievably smart people who are amazing teachers. "Rock Stars," however, are known for trashing dressing rooms. "Ninjas" are best known for backstabbing. And "stars" are divas.
such as the ACM?
It's not controversial to say that cancer is a disease of old age, and that rates of cancer are higher now because people are living longer.

That makes a lot more sense than a lot of the nutrition bullshit that gets posted to HN.
Where exactly did I say you should understand the code down to how electrons flow through the chip's gates?

I said if you do not understand what you are testing (not the compiler, not the runtime libraries, not the OS, not the instruction decode, not the microcode, not the gates), you can't say you actually tested it. You merely observed what could be a side-effect.
Yeah but no one uses these things as a form of payment/currency. Those are non-monetary assets.
So just to your last point, no one can tell the difference between "you, the client, can no longer reach this particular server" and "this server no longer is up". You might be able to tell that it's the user's connection, rather than a netsplit somewhere, with some reasonable degree of confidence (ping the ISP, ping google, etc), but that's a lot of work, still just a percentage chance of being correct, for no real benefit.

To the rest...that's the point, it's just...CSS and JS. You can change it. You can show it or not, based on what the user is doing, or what view they have. Worst case, you can just hide it completely across everything, as you say, which is then no different from an SPA, except where functionality fails when you have no connectivity. Whether that leads to a better or worse user experience is dependent on the dev's handling of those failures.
Only if you tell it to. You can choose an algorithmic feed or a chronological feed. I don't know why anybody would choose the algorithmic feed, because you're right that it sucks, but there's also no pressure to do so.
I'm sure doxing this suspect is against the HN guidelines. [update: I asked the HN moderators via email to clarify]
Even if you run DNS over an encrypted line (e.g. DoH), the ISP can see which IPs you're talking to, which in many cases translates back rather cleanly into which services you're using (which makes for a rather interesting profile already if you take into account time patterns and bandwidth usage).
I'm skeptical of his results, or at least that his results had anything to do with Wifi 6:

For one, my Amazon smart speakers are now more responsive. In my bedroom, I ask Alexa to control a pair of internet-connected light bulbs. With the older router, whenever I said, “Alexa, turn on the lights,” there was a delay of about two seconds before the lights turned on. Now it’s less than half a second.
Everything is anecdotal. I live in NYC and I talk to restaurants, or I used to before the pandemic. I know the owner of this restaurant, and he absolutely hates these delivery companies. He’s not alone.

Do you think the media landscape of the 90s and 00s was just as partisan and sensationalist as today? Can you imagine the media reporting outright, easily verifiable falsehoods on their front page? Where were the 90s reporters standing in front of a burning building talking about “mostly peaceful protests”? Or the Damore memo being called “an anti-diversity screed” or the whole Covington Catholic affair? That was once the realm of parody. Before 2014, I think BLM coverage would have been “The left is angry about disproportionately black police shootings, but the moderates point out that blacks commit more violent crime and also here are some heinous anecdotes of police killings of white people. Everyone agrees that there are too many police killings. Stay tuned for a story about a dancing bear after the break.”.
It's linked in the article.
I'm developing a product targeted at a similar market as LinkedIn, but directed at portfolios. I've been told that it's something very difficult to build a business model on but i still believe in the idea and i'm looking ways to research it. In this case i could data mine LinkedIn for example then.
Are you aware of any reading material about it and guidelines to define pricing and etc?

EDIT: my goal is to elaborate a business plan on it, at least something that could be improved on
The third and fourth sentences from the article:

"Charitable giving in the U.S. as a proportion of gross domestic product, for example, is around 1.7%. In Europe, it is around 0.7% and in Japan it is just 0.04%, according to U.S. wealth manager Northern Trust."

GDP is a very similar statistic to GNI, but also includes income from other countries such as interest and dividends. Per capita rankings would make both Japan and Europe as a whole look even worse, since the the US has a higher per-capita GPD. For Sweden, which has a comparable GDP per person, it would come out about the same.
At least everyone else is screwed with me ;).
I'd love to use a FreeBSD provider, but your page takes years to load. That's not the best promotion you can come up with, is it?
Don't be so harsh, I think Eric is onto something. Or do you think it is normal, that for the "NY Chiropractor" search, first 7 "organic" results are listed in Places, while all the rest are not? That's clearly a bias and now we see the search results are not sorted by relevance, as Google always claimed to be the case.
It's a demo of python/opencv via the command line - it doesn't use JS or the web.
Well, there are legitimate benefits, it's just that few organizations are poised to understand/utilize them.
Why does computer engineering Barbie have glasses? I'm fairly sure myopia or hyperopia aren't caused by your choice of career, or vice-versa.
It's in reference to a commercial that was particularly well done, especially in scene changes without jump cuts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE

What's really amazing is the once-in-a-blue moon of (admittedly, excellent) satire reaching the top of the post rankings.
There is an open source clone of Delicious, Scuttle: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/
Sorry, after seeing this I didn't sign up. Might seem petty and I realize that the plain text field is sent the same as a password field, but at least maybe change the sign up page to use your secure site by default. Doesn't look like you had a bad day of business though.
1) That may be your definition, but it is not the dictionary one. Not that I don't wish that there were more people with leading edge expertise in independent fields, but the definition of polymath is merely great learning in diverse fields.

2) The population as a whole is increasing exponentially, as is the rate of discovery in a great many fields. While I doubt the situation is sustainable, the condition does exist at least in the short term. There is a degree of subjectivity here, but I stand by my statement.

3) Same as #1, worded differently a bit. I actually spent some time looking up different variations of the definition of polymath, and it turns out orthogonality (or independence, since orthogonality seems to be imply different things in compsci than for other disciplines) is not a requirement, just divergence seems sufficient.

As an aside, I am not trying to redefine polymath for my own benefit, being a broad generalist in a lot of fields, but still too focused on some compsci stuff to be a true expert in any of the other ones.
The NSA keeps using this "54 terror plots thwarted" rhetoric, but there has never been any information released to back up that claim.

From Sen. Patrick Leahy, after reading the full classified list:

“We've heard over and over again the assertion that 54 terrorist plots were thwarted” by the two programs, Leahy told Alexander at the Judiciary Committee hearing this month. “That's plainly wrong, but we still get it in letters to members of Congress, we get it in statements. These weren't all plots and they weren't all thwarted. The American people are getting left with the inaccurate impression of the effectiveness of NSA programs.”

Well, it appears that they're trying to track something more general than that. Whether that more general data is valuable or not is a different question. :-P
This is a great comment that really hits the nail on the head for me about how I feel when I see articles like this.

I'm not going to deny that reading more effectively & efficiently can be desirable in certain technical reading where the aim is to absorb, digest & learn the material. But in the general sense its kind of the antithesis of why I would read anything. I don't want to knock off as many paper backs as quickly as I can so that I can rattle off a meaningless number and increase my cultural capital.

I also find it weird and slightly creepy that people elevate book reading to this almost infinite pedestal. If people get more enjoyment and fulfilment out of playing video games, for example, then that's an equally valid use of time. More so if they're not interested in reading.

For me it comes down to if you enjoy reading in and of itself as a hobby then you'll hopefully find time to do it and be enriched because of it. But just trying to force yourself to blitz through as "effectively" as possible loses the magic. Especially when you consider how much time and thought the very best writers put into every single construction.
A lot of irrational behavior stems from simple biases in our brains' usually good-enough-for-daily-life heuristics. Attempts to avoid those biases seem to include training to turn off (or at least notice and interrupt) your heuristics altogether as much as possible, resulting in a much slower (and more introspective) way of going through the world.
There were 80 cards total. At least 10 were bizarre words that would get you arrested if you handed to a bank teller.

Lucky he hadn't handed them a dictionary then. That has all the bad words.

By the way, given you seem to agree with the TSA that it is suspicious for a traveler to be learning certain words, how would you plan on reading the news in a foreign language without learning words like bomb and kidnap?
"How can you credibly offer someone 40-50k dollars a year, with no job security, tied to some grants that might or might not be renewed and expect them to turn down offers from companies looking for data scientists?"

The same way that restaurant owners ask their servers to work for sub-minimum wage and expect them to bring that up to minimum wage via "tips"(Law mandates they bump that up to minimum wage of 7+ if tips don't cover it, but that's separate). Not entirely the same, but it's an alternate form of payment for services rendered. If you ask me, I think it's perfectly reasonable as long as there are no laws meddling and causing an increase of such "odd" remuneration schemes.
How was it the best?
I had the same reaction. Bandwidth is only one metric of interest. I think time spent is a better proxy to the true metric of interest, which you rightly called out as attention.
See my comment clarifying how we came to this decision [0].

And for what it’s worth we considered colocation and hybrid models as well before coming to this conclusion.

LOL. What?? The Puritans were drug mules? What on earth are you talking about?
I don't think Iran would do that unless there was already an invasion of Iran underway. And while it might be possible to clear the scuttled ships, it would be extremely difficult and take months, if not years. That would be months or years in which oil supply from not only Iran but Iraq, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia would be choked off. That would be crippling to the world economy.
nice quote buried in there:

Quite. There's a lucrative industry in Japan of providing gorgeous purpose-built western-style chapels, or rather, their imagined vision of what a wedding chapel should look like. No one is getting scammed because they are only doing it because they want the movie-like glamour of the fashion of a western wedding.

This is also a country where many buddhist and shinto temples are for-profit family businesses, so the whole concept of authenticity is a bit lost...
"or to even get into ambush positions for police who may be expecting the place to be empty"

At least in this case, the cops were smarter--they waited for the smokescreen to clear and entered the shop guns drawn.
