Yeah, I'd have to wonder about the conditions of the chickens with eggs that cheap too. These don't advertise as cage-free or anything like that.

Unfortunately, "very cheap" and "humanely, sustainably raised" seem to be in conflict. Terrible factory farming is efficient.

:-/

I get a lot of my eggs from my friends mother, who has something like six chickens running around on her farm. It's a great feeling to know exactly where your food is coming from (and fresh eggs are mucho-delicious).
In some sense, yes. If you read this post of his though: http://calnewport.com/blog/2008/11/25/case-study-how-i-got-t... you get the sense that it's not only about brute forcing hours, but also spending those hours wisely. In the case of math, that was making sure he could understand and recreate every proof perfectly. This was probably a lot more effective than spending those hours, say, studying only problem sets or lecture notes.

One of the guys on our support team had his sister come to lunch at Fog Creek during their visit to NYC. Even amidst all the wonderful things they did in New York, she said that coming in for lunch and seeing Fog Creek was the highlight of her trip. It wasn't that the incredible food (though it was), but rather it was witnessing the comradery the exists at meals and the overall wonderfulness of the workplace. When my colleague shared her story with us, it made us realize that we oftentimes take for granted how rare it is to work in such a great environment.

I don't think quality and safety are concerns unique to Cydia. Why does it scare you to use it? Do you really have any way of knowing what "genuine" apps downloaded from the appstore are doing?

Absolutely ridiculous that they have firemen heading off into danger in a 50 year old airframe.

We keep them separate and for good reason. A threat from an enemy doesn't usually involve additional security for every Disney employee because Disney animatronics is AFAIK not a legitimate military target. Boeing primarily is a legitimate target. Where does Google want to be in that equation?
> Do you know anything about how or if Mullvad cooperates with domestic and foreign entities?

I am not aware of this, but unlike the majority of VPN providers, Mullvad at least does not require any personally identifiable information, such as an email address, in order to use it.

And most VPN providers that hide their real locations, such as ExpressVPN (Hong Kong)[1], NordVPN and ProtonVPN (both Lithuania)[2], are just creating an illusion of privacy for their unsuspecting users.

It's analogous to both, from different valid points of view.
Ouch. I wonder how many non-enterprise SSD's come with similar bugs, and zero support by the firmware vendor.
that IP:9200 address is down, any mirrors?

Bear in mind that computer science is quite young -- clarity, unambiguity and formalism in mathematics were not much better in XVII and XVIII centuries. Everything will improve over time, I believe.
Personally I think it looks blurry and has too many colours.

Maybe use the second one with the b a little bit further out from under the Q and then make bix all the same colour.
I recently saw an example of just this thing on a visit to Texas - where a passer by thanked a colleague for his service (he recently returned from serving in Iraq), I thought this was rather touching but also as someone from Britain, from my perspective, very odd indeed - for no easily identifiable reason.

> If you can't log into it from a third party browser, you'd have to keep using Chrome even if you didn't want to.

Oauth is browser agnostic, right?
There are two differences.

1. NPM is being actively exploited and IMHO remarkably often; some of the third parties that are blocked by this policy are known to be malevolent.

2. I'm afraid my familiarity with Windows is somewhat limited. As far as I know Notepad has no responsibility for carrying out any sort of access control. That it carries out no access control is somewhat irrelevant if it is not intended to do so in the first place.
Hmm haven't run into that problem. How frequent does that happen?
> 512 MB is a lot of memory for a single purpose server.

Maybe. But when the time comes 512 MB doesn't seem like much anymore, what do you do? Do you pick the next larger instance or do you split the load across more 512 MB slices of a computer?
Thanks for the references sitkack
I imagine it will change as the product evolves. Fee structure is always a tricky dance and only really matters once you have product market fit and are taking off. Glad to hear you are giving it early consideration.

My take is being very upfront about how you guys make money then clients understand the model which will likely avoid downstream challenges!

Good luck.
Because they have. Mobile designers are less focused on optimizing for poor processors and limited data budgets, instead preferring to target "responsive" and/or flashy designs that look impressive in screenshots.
See my other comment which can be summarized for this response as: technical/fundamental superiority has never been, and is currently not, a silver bullet to proliferation of a technology, or the success of a company. That is at an all time low, I believe.
Twitter would get those extensions taken down immediately.
I was thinking about this just today. I want a cert to use with Heroku. I love Dreamhost and I use them for all my static websites, backup storage, git hosting, and domain registration. They provide SSl certs for $15, but I've never bought one and they don't provide a lot of details. They mention that you can use them with other hosts, but not much else.

Anyone have experience with Dreamhost SSL?
I would think that ARM chips would use less power than Atom; but compatibility with existing software is a big selling point (as always). But this would provide a pressure towards ARM servers, and therefore ARM-compatible software.

OTOH, I get the impression that the bulk of the power savings are not from the CPU at all, but from virtualizing the other components. Therefore, the pressure towards ARM is much less.

And I suppose Intel wouldn't be supportive unless there was a compelling long-term reason to choose Atom.
TweetDeck has been showing geolocation information for a while so perhaps it was already released? Not sure...
You can argue intent all you want (and btw no one has described the employee as a whistle-blower)

However, as a matter of fact, Sprint's exaggeration (claiming that sales were around 3 times as much as they really were) was exposed by what that employee did.

Alternative title: Humans are bad at estimating things on logarithmic scales, and probably don't adequately factor in things like student loans and mortgage debt when estimating the wealth of the "poor"

My title is much less catchy.
Shocking that something like this would be on Tumblr.
It is trivial. And it is not shockingly hard. It's precisely as hard as anyone would expect it to be. Apple doesn't want you to do it, so you need multiple third party apps that risk being banned from the app store to implement it.

(to clarify: If it were impossible, which it very well might be, that would still not be shocking)
> You assume that such wealth was earned in the first place which is rarely the case and is less so every year.

Fair point. It's true that my statements only applied to individuals who earned the money themselves, and I failed to consider people who had themselves inherited money.
irrelevant. the discussion here is about wealth and equality within the United States.
They should just merge the consumer versions of windows and office together. Cut the subscription plan and make it reasonably expensive even for OEMs. This would let them differentiate themselves from Chrome OS and retain all their old Office customers.
I went to Startup School in New York last year and saw moot there. While outside between presentations, someone in the crowd called out "Chris, Chris Poole!" and some other memes at him. He seemed really put off by it and hightailed it out of there. I'd imagine he gets that often and could understand how that could be draining.
You might want to look at Haskell again and not read too much into the type theory stuff at first, but learn how to use common monads, functors, etc.

Here's some code that might be convincing and understandable (correct me if I'm wrong!):

From a not quite yet ready to release everywhere web scraping library of mine in Haskell:

main = runScraper $ do
get "https://www.paypal.com/login"

postToForm (Name "login_form") (Just creds) AllVisible

get "https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/home"

cursor <- liftM (fromMaybe (error "Couldn't get cursor")) getCurrentCursor
liftIO . putStrLn $ "Your Paypal balance is: " <> getPaypalBalance cursor

where creds = [ ("login_email", "email@example.com") -- put your credentials here
, ("login_password", "password")]

An example of using lenses and imperative programming to create pong[0]:

-- Update the paddles
updatePaddles :: Float -> State Pong ()
updatePaddles time = do
p <- get

let paddleMovement = time * paddleSpeed
keyPressed key = p^.keys.contains (SpecialKey key)

-- Update the player's paddle based on keys
when (keyPressed KeyUp) $ paddle1 += paddleMovement
when (keyPressed KeyDown) $ paddle1 -= paddleMovement

-- Calculate the optimal position
let optimal = hitPos (p^.ballPos) (p^.ballSpeed)
acc = accuracy p
target = optimal * acc + (p^.ballPos._y) * (1 - acc)
dist = target - p^.paddle2

-- Move the CPU's paddle towards this optimal position as needed
when (abs dist > paddleHeight/3) $
case compare dist 0 of
GT -> paddle2 += paddleMovement
LT -> paddle2 -= paddleMovement
_ -> return ()

-- Make sure both paddles don't leave the playing area
paddle1 %= clamp (paddleHeight/2)
paddle2 %= clamp (paddleHeight/2)

From "Program imperatively using Haskell lenses"[1]:

battle :: StateT Game IO ()
battle = do
-- Charge!
forM_ ["Take that!", "and that!", "and that!"] $ \taunt -> do
lift $ putStrLn taunt
strike

-- The dragon awakes!
fireBreath (Point 0.5 1.5)

replicateM_ 3 $ do
-- The better part of valor
retreat

-- Boss chases them
zoom (boss.position) $ do
x += 10
y += 10
How is that a counterpoint? It only shows covers of romance novels where the men look muscular and the women pretty.
If men paid less attention to looks than female why are there so many arguably good looking women with so many arguably plain looking (but possibly wealthy) men?

> Do they target a fixed subset of Rust (is it even possible) or do they make continual updates to their code?

Updates when necessary. As the language gets more stable, that gets easier.
Yes, you describe exactly what is in Thinking Fast and Slow. So you are not rational, neither am I. But as you repeat the same patterns of risk aversion for all occurrences of a choice in your life, the sum is that you paid too much for insurance.

A rational agent would pay 100$ plus the processing fee for the home insurance. It would not pay for "piece of mind", just as it would not pay for the "excitement" of a lottery ticket.

We are not rational agent, but my point is that those who are closer to rational choice based on statistical truth are the one who win the game (in average).
It's partially a function of geography though - not every area is as amenable to this approach as others. And you may need to change approach if this really isn't working. If it's working for others in your area, and not you, it's probably something in what you're doing (or not doing). If no one is having success in your area, it's likely more geographic area.

Happy to take this offline at mgkimsal@gmail.com if you or others want to dig a bit deeper.
In the server markets, you look at performance per watt and performance per rack unit and ease of setup - for general purpose computation, Intel still dominates those metrics. (with some exceptions [1]). Being ahead in fab technology, it can take the performance hits due to the legacy x86 architecture.

You can replace 1 beefy server with 8 small nodes, but you can not replace the convenience of administering that one server.

Also, retargeting performance-sensitive JITs/compilers/maths libraries such as GCC, LLVM, Java, V8, *BLAS is no small feat either - x86 gets support first, because it is the market leader, and also gets tuned the most, since it's the oldest backend. A feedback loop that's hard to break, so don't expect Intel to go out of business any time soon.

Yes, something needs to be done about allowing trivial things to be patented.

However, for non-trivial things, there's nothing wrong with Myhrvold's approach. For those things IV itself develops, the patent system is doing just what it was intended to do--they put money into development, with the intent of using patent licensing fees to get that investment back and make a profit. Hence, it encourages the progress of the useful arts.

Same goes for patents they buy. There are many people who are able to invent something, and do the R&D to show that it will work, but do not have the skill or resources to set up manufacturing. In this case, what IV provides is a market that allows people who can invent but can't set up manufacturing to connect with those who can set up manufacturing but need inventions to manufacture.
Is it readable by those of us who fall under the "layman" category?
No. I don't need to discuss the other effects because everyone else is discussing those. I'm adding another point of view to the conversation, it doesn't mean I don't understand the other side.
Very nice. I was just about to write how awesome the sign up was. I didn't know about Typeform.
One thing to note about airships is that the buoyancy they use to lift their cargo needs to go somewhere once they drop their cargo.

You see, with a train or ship, it will just exert less ground pressure or float higher in the water when you remove they payload. With an airship it will shoot straight up unless mitigated when you suddenly remove tens of tons of its weight.

Unless you want to release the precious lifting gas (usually helium) you need to address this in ways that make airships quite a bit less flexible for aerial cargo transport, such as pre-arranging return cargo of similar weight or arranging for water to be taken into ballast tanks to compensate for cargo being unloaded.
I agree with your perspective here. But the corrective action should be to have you spend less time at the job. I think the 4 day workweek and other “radical” ideas may address some of this.

Incidentally, I wouldn’t mind spending 10 hours dedicated to work for 2 days a week, or some other such balance. Problem solving requires along stretches of time, limiting it artificially seems counterproductive. It becomes an issue when it takes all the time I have.
It's Trumps own fault that he chose Twitter to be his way of messaging the public. Why not build whitehouse.gov/words_from_the_pres? Twitter isn't funded by taxpayers and we aren't entitled to it.

The one time in my career I got laid off was the day after I got married. I had taken the day off, got back in the office the next day, and was let go. I was close to finishing my PhD at the time, and had never made a secret to my employer that I was planning to move abroad after that, but the layoff still came as a bit of a shock to me.
But there's no hypocrisy. Nobody is saying McCarthy was right or endorsing his tactics.

Edit: It appears I may have misinterpreted the initial comments sarcasm as a "if McCarthy could do it then it's fair game" rather than a criticism of modern outrage mob tactics.

Qualifications:
• Strong proficiency with VScode and writing extensions
• Working knowledge of Intellisense or other developer productivity tools
• Proficiency with a modern-day programming language (C++, Java. etc)
• Experience with using LLVM in language projects parsing, interpreting or compiling some source language into llvm bitcode

If you would like to learn more, please send your resume to careers@gaiaplatform.io
> After that, I made a bit of a vow to myself to remember that a job is, at its core, a business transaction. You sell your time and expertise for compensation. It's great if you really like your boss and your coworkers, that'll help avoid depression, but remember at the end of the day, a company is not your family, and if they don't think you're creating enough value for them, they will end this transaction.

Yes, paying the bills is absolutely a requirement and should take priority. Don't let that bad experience discourage you from looking for a place that you love to work at though. I have found a few great jobs in my career where I loved and currently love to work. It helps a lot to have leaders that understand the value of keeping their employees happy and where your goals for your position and your career align well with their vision for the organization. Then having a great chain of command sitting above you that is friendly, approachable and easy to reason with can make it even better. You spend a ridiculous amount of your life working, if you can enjoy your job and don't look at it as simply a pay check, I think it can help you live a happier life.
He does mention that in the article actually.
I like this a lot actually, considering JIT maybe data attributes or some tighter integration into react could easily be done so there isn’t so much reliance on class names.
This anti scanner fad stinks of mob mentality and hysteria. There is no evidence images have been stored at airports or that harm is caused by scans. There is a pathetic lack of rational discussion of factual policies and why such policies might be necessary, whether we like them or not.

I expect more from the HN crowd.

Someone want to fill us on on facts instead of speculation and fear mongering?
When reading a bit about Pijul, a few months back, I had assumed every two patches would commute, and I couldn't image how that could possibly work.

Does it really have this limitation? If so, it doesn't look much of an improvement compared to git: I can shuffle "patches" all right using `git rebase -i`. I conceide it can be quite slow, though.
Fascinating. I wonder how long it took to oxidize, and what the partial pressure of oxygen blown that far out is.

Shuai Li also recently mapped direct evidence for water on the Moon, using similar data. Exciting times for lunar geology.

Why does "plausible" not suffice?

Well, hello there! That's extremely high praise. Thank you. You're making your way into the ℍ𝕪𝕡𝕖𝕣𝔱𝔢𝔵𝔱 too. =)

It's a pleasure to speak with you. Conversation is a sacrament (and an art well beyond me). I hope to capture what I love about the web: people who make life worth living.

Yeah, wind was not the problem during the freeze this year but politicians need something to point at to say they did something.

Hopefully the national infrastructure bill will pass and then the incentives for building more renewables will be too great to ignore regardless of whatever BS the state legislature tries to pull.
Copy-on-write is an implementation detail that allows for lower storage. The snapshot is still the full copy. One could try to argue that the same is true for git in that diffs (or content addressable storage) are just an internal implementation detail, but as the parent pointed out that's not quite true--our commits document the diff, not the materialized snapshot.
To the best of my knowledge, there's no systematic requirement for very overweight people to buy multiple seats—though I recall hearing a couple of such people note that they tended to do so for their own comfort.

I would also point out, though, that it's just as likely that there would be something like a gymnastics or other sports team on a plane, which I think should be somewhat under the average weight (despite the extra muscle mass).
Because as @syberspace stated above, and I pointed out below, the ground crew needs a weight figure to plan some things prior to loading/boarding (at least cargo distribution in the cargo hold and amount of fuel to place into the fuel tanks).

To use actual weight when individual passengers weights are unavailable (as in this case) would require first boarding all passengers, then waiting at the gate while the fuel tanks are filled and the cargo in the hold is loaded and distributed based on the actual passenger weight. The passengers would not want to wait for this loading order, nor would the airlines as it would directly increase their turn around time for the aircraft.
