A scientifically minded approach to pain can be found at https://www.painscience.com/ No magic bullets, but perhaps something that can help.

As for my two cents, I like trigger points. I have used that technique effectively for years to eliminate angry pain. While the science is apparently still questionable, it is a simple method (find some painfully acute spots somewhere around sources of pain and massage it for 20 seconds or so, several times a day). It is talked about at the site above in addition to a variety of other pain management notions, mainly with a scientifically disappointing dose of reality mixed into it all.
There is a joke about that: geometry teacher in the teaching room complains, how dumb her class was: "I explain it once—they do not understand. I explain it second time: they do not understand. I explain it third time: I myself understood, they still don't."

Actually, I used landau notation because it's the easiest way to explain why you're wrong.

I didn't use exact numbers because I have no idea what numbers you have to use to convince yourself that the number of hacker-location pairs would scale quadratically with the number of hackers, as in the birthday paradox. It makes absolutely no sense.
Did this person sell a start up? I looked at the site, but couldn't see any reference. Curious if it was a robotics based company?
Article is from 2007. The example that he gives is not valid in Visual Studio 2010.
No where did you say the tool had to be online. I find paper and pen the best option as well.
Facebooks ads ARE NOT higher quality than google. First off, adwords gets an order of magnitude more clicks (CTR). These people are buyers, looking for something, not trying to post comments on their friend's photos. Second, the people who do click on facebook ads are much lower quality. From our data, google users convert ~2.7X more than facebook users and the price difference in CPA does not make up for that difference.
I really like the name. The site is minimalistic, though. You're wasting an important resource, tons of people from HN will go there to have a look and they will not see much. You have to list the advantages, why the this is the best to do list ever.
Does anyone not feel a sense of unease when applying all of these "social" filters to hiring decisions? The end result here is you end up hiring people exactly like yourself (and the rest of the group). Being able to do the job well is no longer enough; you have to be "interesting" enough to spend an hour with at lunch everyday. What this essentially comes down to is you need to also be a part of the same culture with the same personality type. This is a very insipid form of discrimination and sadly it seems to have widespread support.
It appears that your browser does not support LeanDesigns.

Wow, one of the few "Review my startup" posts for something I'd actually use, and I hit a roadblock on the first click.

I understand that you want to use the latest and greatest technology, and do you part to drag the rest of us kicking and screaming into the 21st century, but does mounting a roadblock in front of legitimate prospects really serve your best interests? Is HTML5 a "must have" or a "would be nice"?

I on a work desktop right now, so I'll have to wait until I'm on my own later to try this out...if I remember. Sigh.
Sense and Touchwiz fragment the UI and generally lag more compared to stock Android UI. On top of that, it takes them ages to port the UI skins to the latest Android version which delays the upgrades by several months

You've just restated my points 1) and 2). But it's not as much a problem as you think. Long distance charges usually aren't predictable in advance: you know you're being billed by the minute, but you don't know how long the conversation will be, and you probably don't know the per-minute rate. What's the rate when calling an Irish cell phone? Or a landline in Guayaquil, Ecuador? You can probably look it up, but it's not simple.

On the flip side, even as a "sophisticated" user, I can't tell how much bandwidth a given video will use, or how long I can afford to stream Pandora to my phone. But it doesn't mater. My carrier provides an app that I can use to check my usage, and I can see how much I've used as a percentage of my limit. It's easy to get a sense of "been watching a lot of video lately, gotta ease up on that," or, "oops, downloading that ISO over tethering wasn't a good idea." It's not long before you have an intuitive sense of what things cost, in terms of bandwidth. I find I don't have to pay much attention unless I use tethering, but my data plan has 6GB cap.
I would have enjoyed a bit more explanation of how he came to the Audion than "Without quite knowing what he was doing".
Supposedly there's going to be mobile phone apps that show you exactly where the nearest parking spaces are. That will be amazing.

Of course this system also allows them to ticket expired meters much more efficiently.
The metaphoric 'nuclear weapon' in this case is to deliberately flood the World with knock-offs of drugs and other products the treaty is whinging about.
Facebook has talked about this before in their tech blogs or presentations, mentioning it was too expensive to actually run deletes the way they store things; and that it was actually "cheaper" and easier to just keep going and not look back.
Yeah, CA is an oil-producing state. #3 on the list, in fact.

Chromakode is a JavaScript badass. If you have a chance to listen to his talk on generating dynamic audio in HTML5, you definitely should attend.
When they let you walk in quietly, yeah. You can stretch language all you want until it has no meaning, but "storming" has a definition, and it isn't "people I don't like went somewhere I didn't want them to go." u/doomslice did post an example of something that would be considered "storming."

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/storming

5. A violent disturbance or upheaval, as in political, social, or domestic affairs: a storm of protest.

6. A violent, sudden attack on a fortified place.
These folks don't trust one another with information, so it seems unlikely that they'd pass around a laptop loaded with one anothers presentations.
An easy way to create encrypted NFT's in less than five seconds. Works on mobile, environmentally friendly via proof-of-work storage, available offline, and requires zero information upfront.
This is still sadly applicable to software dev as well, not just ML and statistics.
Windows does allow setting it in the application's manifest but it also requires a registry setting to be enabled otherwise the manifest option is ignored. Obviously asking users to edit the registry is a non-starter so it's only used where the developers also control the user environment (e.g. the registry change is deployed through group policies, etc).

But yeah, this just tells Windows to do the conversion so that programmers don't have to type out the function calls themselves. It's simple enough to create a wrapper function for Windows API calls in any case.
Hi HN! This is not another video, chat or communication tool for remote teams to accomplish that.

Instead, I created a micro-engagement tool that helps you discover who your remote teammates truly are. The discovery is made by asking one question a day to all of your remote teammates. That simple!

Questions are meant to be thoughtful, funny, sometimes awkward or hypothetical scenarios from over 15 categories.

I believe that these bite-sized responses elicited from one another help remote teams to reduce the mental barrier of the 'unfamiliarity' factor about another person and help discover common ground.

Next time, when you're on a Zoom call or a slack chat, you'd genuinely know who you are talking to on the other side.

I just opened for remote teams to test out our alpha release.

QuickTeam site (click Build Team Culture in the top right, and I will reach out - no cc needed) https://quickteam.co/

Alpha release app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickteam

Lastly, open to hearing your feedback and answer questions.

Also important to note that while Apple were very successful in music players, there are several successful competitors in that market, such as Sony and Sandisk.

In fact at the peak, the iPod's market share in music players was about the same as what Android has in smartphones today.
Is anything preventing us from just getting a line of cargo ships and loading up the patch to be processed on-shore? Currently many ships are being sent empty due to supply issues.
Oracle never publicly announced it. The last commit that I see copyrighted by Oracle is https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/ea10ff14a02f7... on August 18, 2010. After that, updates from Oracle silently stop.

But your point stands well. Oracle only had a paltry 7-8 months of contributions.

In my opinion, and I really don't know who would share this view, since Sun opened Solaris, illumos is now what Solaris was intended to be; it's not the illumos community that forked Solaris, it was Oracle.
Wow! That's awesome. Any idea how expensive the cradle is? I hate spending $1500 for an MC70 with crappy touchscreen.
What a huge exaggeration of a headline.

Not that Quora isn't interesting/useful/cool, but need we have a meta discussion about how revolutionary every new product is?

It's like the Valley is turning into something like the more extreme parts of the fashion world: generating it's own excitement and obsolescence in a way wholly disconnected from the quality and utility of the actual products.
If it works, you could use it for power transmission. You could put a ring around the globe, and have 24 hour solar power. Actually, wind would be better, but it's the same kind of deal.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have to ask: why?

I believe a great deal in the capability of individuals to accomplish great things, but I don't care how ingenious the methods, how confident the claims, how insightful the theory... I want to see science as a group activity.

Because no matter how good you are, you need replication and criticism, and constant skeptical feedback. I'm not saying it's impossible to get that by yourself, but I certainly don't believe in it so much.
The tone of this post is yet another reason to love team Watsi. Really fun for an early stage company (for-profit or non) to be spending time and money on this instead of on more interesting things like building their business.
> I miss LISP so much I could cry. Even so, I remain wary of metaprogramming. And I very much want to do plugin dev, vs modifying the runtime, for the separation of concerns. I've had to customize all-in-one runtimes and borking the whole runtime with a bad override is not fun to debug.

Your concerns are artificial! Let go of your concerns and be free. The hundreds of Emacs users around the world are already doing it. It's great.

It used to be a bit of a wild-west without lexical binding but we have that now and it's going over pretty well. Fewer libraries step on each others' toes as adoption spreads.

We have package management built-in. We have awesome introspection and debugging tools. There are a lot of wonderful built-in packages.

My init file isn't even written in raw elisp anymore. I use a well-documented org file. The amazing org-babel library is bundled in. My init file is written for humans to understand and only incidentally for my editor to execute. It's great.

I only wish more software was designed this way.
Most welcome! For anyone on this thread who's interested in contributing I'd suggest opening a ticket citing your interest, so that we've then go a place we can start the discussion from.
It's also something more tangible for non-geeks than other revelations so more likely to provoke a public reaction.

I saw it via Node Weekly. Wondered why I didn't see it on HN. Go to post the links, already posted. Strange!
The Ideas in Food guys later played with freezing individual portions these ramenized noodles (which I've been meaning to try for an easy work lunch, but haven't gotten around to yet).

Is there a .torrent somewhere? There are torrents of each video on their download page (for example[1]) but I can't see one for everything.

yeah :) I doubt people update their browsers any more than they update their OS.
I don't think this oddity could be used for any of those things. The pages that you would attack or defraud are not recursively loading themselves in iframes. If you wanted to do any of that you would just load many iframes with the same URL with some meaningless query parameters on it, as from a caching perspective, a URL which differs only by it's query parameters is a different URL.
Same here! Sometimes I’ve spent weeks thinking through a problem fully, talking to everyone involved (including myself) only to code whatever it was in a couple hours. It’s amazing what our brains can process subconsciously.
I don't agree with your premise that no one wants to pick potatoes. Just because you can survive without a job, it doesn't mean people won't want more money and use the skills they have available to earn it (even if that's just physical labor).

Again that's temporary though as automation will happen, which you seem to not believe? It doesn't seem like rocket science to pick a potato. Self-driving cars seem like a much more difficult challenge.
I miss matrix in the options. It's the only modern network that still really cares about federation
My experience is similar.

I want to add that when I left WhatsApp (~2y ago) I deleted my account. WhatsApp kept accepting messages on my behalf. People didn't know I wasn't getting their messages. I'm surprised I don't see this mentioned to the point I wonder if I did something wrong at the time.

In the end, I reopened a WhatsApp account recently because everyone is using WhatsApp in France and I couldn't stand breaking everyone's efforts to bring us together during lockdown.
To me, quirks are "yellow flags" in the interview stage because it means that you're not able to put your own weirdness aside to fit socially when you arguably need to the most

My response from the other side of the table: as an interviewee, I view these initial interviews an an exercise in expectation management. I don't consider myself as weird, so I act like I normally would, otherwise I'm setting myself up for failure later on.

Also, I don't wear to an interview what I wouldn't be comfortable wearing on a normal working day. I dress casual on purpose (but representably casual, not weird casual -- but that's my personal opinion of course).
Yes, ICANN has fixed domain tasting. No refunds for registration fees.

Typo-squatting is of course unethical. I would not say that the practice is rampant. A recent report by Verisign showed that it is declining and really is not prevalent. It's also not very profitable. PPC revenue has hit rock bottom in recent years. Talk about risk.

There is risk it seems because there is a high learning curve for what a quality domain name is. If you watch the industry, research keywords and learn to evaluate domain names you can do very well.
Neat idea, very poor implementation. If you try to view the examples in Google Chrome, you'll get a notice that you have to download Safari (http://skitch.com/bradgessler/dgw7p/apple-html5)

This sets a very poor example for Apple supporting standards.
Don't know what I'd do with it, don't know what it can do, but I want it. Maybe it can be a remote
I was thinking more of great grandpappy walking up to an area out West and saying "mine!" (possibly with a small payment) - it took a while before everything was owned and more rational prices were set by the market. The earliest domainers had a similar experience - no owners, so they didn't have to buy it from anyone.

In the end, any resource that is limited, underpriced and has some ability to produce income will get nailed by speculators sooner or later, and the price will rise.
Based on my own experience of MBAs I tend to agree with you. My company brought in a US name-brand management consulting firm to assist with a large M&A. One of the MBAs was assigned to help me write a transition plan for the integration of the IT systems my company would inherit. She correctly recognized that helping me was useless to her real purpose (inserting herself into my company at a high enough level that she could scout out new consulting opportunities) so she spent two months with us and delivered nothing. I wrote the transition plan on my own.
Sirlin has written what seems to be the most commonly referenced piece whenever games and "thinking" come up. Playing to Win, available free at his website (www.sirlin.net/ptw/), doesn't directly deal with game design, but it comes up throughout. His blog generally trends on game design topics. (He's been a fighting game pro, rebalanced SF2 for the most recent version, and is in the process of releasing some physical games now.)

Costikyan writes a lot of good stuff. http://playthisthing.com/randomness-blight-or-bane is a great example, and you can find some other writings of his in various archives. PTT itself has him (and a few other contributors of varying flavors) writing on new (indie, board, etc.) games.

Soren Johnson (Lead designer on Civ4) had a series going at http://www.designer-notes.com/, but hasn't appeared to have posted recently. http://www.designer-notes.com/?p=132 is a good example, discussing how easily players can perceive an AI to be "cheating".

Brenda Braithwaite (Wizardry series, Train) has a similar, seemingly modestly defunct blog that is worth reading regardless.

Edmund McMillen of Super Meatboy posted about difficulty: http://supermeatboy.com/13/Why_am_I_so____hard_/. There's a similar post somewhere on the blog.

Gama Sutra occasionally has useful things, but you need to filter a lot.

Without endorsing it overly, Less Talk More Rock (http://boingboing.net/features/morerock.html) is worth consideration. (For balance, http://sinisterdesign.net/?p=457).
This is a cool video. I have been using Linux casually for a year and a half now, but haven't progressed too much past the desktop paradigm.

I am not uncomfortable in the terminal, but I feel more akin to a foreigner who's mastered a phrasebook, rather than someone able to hold even a rudimentary conversation.

Do you (or does anyone else) have more examples similar to this, or resources that would be useful in moving toward this fluency in utilizing command line tools?

I don't think having an amazon version is a bad idea. Just glancing at the description, which you should add a significant amount of detail to by the way, it sounds like a beginners cookbook for wordpress plugins. That is probably worth having for sale for 5 dollars on amazon. Now create a second book with more technical detail and some sample code. Sell that on your own for significantly more money.

And if I am wrong about this book being a beginner's cookbook, then take everybody's advice and sell it yourself. And work on your sales pitch, because to me that is what the description made it sound like.
I was not given any options at all, for this or other promotions. No do I know if I will get paid for copies they give away for free. I suspect not.

As to getting the book for free, please do. I have something even more interesting in the works. I would love for you to read my book, get excited about Solr, get on my mailing list http://www.solr-start.com/ and pay me for my next project eventually.

The authors usually do not get rich of the books (though I did cover my tiny advance and more). The rest of the conclusions is left as an exercise for the reader.
Fast moving objects are quite hard to catch even micro meteorites could do considerable damage a fast moving satellite would be a disaster.

The best option energy wise would be to have the satellite adjust its obit however that would deplete its energy reserves a lot quicker then not having an elevator to avoid colliding with.

Then again satellites should never have energy problems ever again since the can just be refueled cheaply via the elevator.

Couldn't this kind of thing just be spam? I created an account on https://bitcoinwallet.com/ which I've never even used, but I regularly get payments of a single satoshi with an advertising message attached. If so, I would say spam is part of the economy, however unwelcome.
> Honest question, is this really possible?

Yes, loads of things work without JS. You can use Wikipedia, even to edit articles, with JS disabled – it's all simple HTML forms. JS just makes the experience smoother (adding buttons to help with WikiText formatting, etc).

Most content and shopping websites work fine without JS. You asked how do you fire off AJAX requests without JS? You don't. You just design your app so it basically works as a set of HTML pages connected by hyperlinks and form submissions. Then you add JS to enhance things.

> Apparently I've missed a whole area of web development if this is all possible with no Javascript.

Yes you have. When I started (~12 years ago), JS was only used for little whizzy effects here and there, not much else. Then JS started becoming more viable due to prototype and jQuery, but it was always the most flakey part of web development, and we learned to use it cautiously as an optional layer of enhancement. You couldn't rely on it always working. It was a way to 'differentiate' your site, not a serious building block.

Now, everything has changed, JS is everywhere and we tend to call things 'apps' more than 'sites'. I spend 70% of my day writing JS. I'm not sure if I agree with the JS-bashing sentiment of the article. But I do think it's still good practice to design your app so it delivers your core content/functionality without JS. Most stuff (blogs, e-commerce, forums, etc) can be built like this. (Admittedly some things like p2p streaming apps just can't.) Then you can use JS to enhance things, like enhancing your basic search form with as-you-type suggestions. This approach makes your codebase more structurally sound and less entangled, and makes your app more resilient.

Logic can fail to put 2 and 2 together. Logic isn't always fast.

Fear is very, very fast and almost never fails. It allows the danger to command your attention in a way logic alone can never achieve. It also stimulates the whole fight-or-flight response, souping you up with chemicals in case you need 'em. It has it's limitations, but on the whole it does a much better job than logic would alone IMHO.

Being geekish myself, I totally understand the desire to replace everything with cool, calculating logic, but our basic instincts usually do a pretty damn good job. An easy example is if you put your hand on a hot stove, you will instinctively pull away, often even before you feel pain or heat. If you relied on logic (gee, this stove is hot and my hand hurts! I should pull my hand away) your burn would be much, much worse.
