One advantage that tail -f has is that you can insert newlines or other characters into the output to help you visually split log entries. Log files often look the same so being able to visually split up the log is very helpful IMO.
I have a Wikipedia client on my iPod that does something similar -- touch-and-holding on a link dumps it to a queue instead of navigating to that entry. So as you go through an interesting article, you can queue up related stuff and easily get back to it later, without having to open up multiple pages/set up bookmarks/<mention kludge here>. It is sweet.

Link Pad for Firefox is similar in concept, but the UI could be a lot more elegant.
And you, of course, are able to perfectly identify which art is bad.

You can look at a piece of art and determine that nobody anywhere will ever gain anything from it's existence.

Web Apps as the Route for iPhone Development

[...]

It’s insulting, because it’s not a way to write iPhone apps, and you can’t bullshit developers. It’s a matter of spin.

[..]

If all you have to offer is a shit sandwich, just say it. Don’t tell us how lucky we are and that it’s going to taste delicious.

This is sort of off topic, but check out pg's thighs toward the end of the video, he looks ripped!

Do you like, do bike-marathons or something pg?

Edit: Downvote? Really? I'm not being rude or anything.. I'm just saying; the guys legs look great.
Arbitrary magic acceleration

...in other words, either you didn't actually read the explanations or you didn't understand them. The energy is being extracted from a velocity difference between two media. And no, tacking works on exactly the same principles in order to sail upwind. Some manner of mechanical linkage decelerates one or both media with respect to the other, extracting usable energy. In the case of a boat it's the combination of the keel and sail; for this vehicle, it's clever fixed gearing between the fan and wheels. In either case, the velocity of the vehicle relative to either medium is nearly irrelevant.

Check back on this story in months and years and see whether it pans out.

The idea behind this vehicle has been floating around the internet for at least three years, by the way.

If you're really so confident that you're correct, I'm sure one of the "shills" would be happy to make a wager with you, mediated by a neutral third party. What kind of odds would you accept for a wager that the vehicle doesn't work?

No, I guess I don't. Could you provide a link to the definition you have in mind or some discussion of the etymology of the term?
>While my style may not appeal to you, I've already received a few thoughtful emails in response to my post.

I understand you're trying to take a measured tone here but it isn't sating me. Please don't take such a shotgun approach in attempting to recruit people for your ideas in future.

And no, the fact that a couple people emailed you doesn't change the content of what I'm saying.

I'll let the karma judge whether or not the community wants this place to get run down with posts like this, which have already become far too frequent.
Won't it create issues with the smartphone slipping out of your hands way too easily?
In theory it could ultimately turn out to be profitable for tax revenue: 1) increased economic activity means increased taxable income from others; depends on the velocity of the money spent via the new income 2) if people can pull themselves up by their bootstraps via this sort of program that means more taxable income for the recipients later in their lives. Impossible to know how it would turn out in advance but interesting to consider.
It isn't. He should win an Oscar for his performance.
Actually, Adblock for Chrome can block ads too, but I think not all of them. It happend once Google let in by mistake some code from Webkit, that allowed for this to happen. And then they didn't remove it anymore.

Here's what Adblock's author says:

"New in version 2.0: Ads are actually blocked from downloading now, instead of just being removed after the fact!"
I don't hear the rank and file engineers going to facebook talking about how excited they are to be at a company that "gets it" socially or has really exciting challenges or their execs talk to people in 140 character blocks without a filter. I think mostly people going to facebook are looking at their pre-ipo status next to their roughly guaranteed blockbuster ipo valuation. Google shares have little chance to appreciate that much anymore, and certainly not in the timeframe.

This project was done by ProPublica, the nonprofit reporting outfit where I work. There's more from the same investigation at http://www.propublica.org/dialysis including a leaked P.R. plan drawn up by an industry group to respond to our investigation -- and there's lots more to come in the next few weeks.
A guy that purchased a domain in 2001, tried to make it work, has it registered through 2012 is likely to turn down offers if he will even respond in the first place. There is a bit of pride he's got to swallow because the sale would mean that he failed at his idea. He'll want to keep the domain because one day he's going to revisit that idea and make it work.

I've had a domain backordered since 1999 - it has had a parking page since it was purchased, and every year, about 7-10 days before it expires, it gets renewed. The domain isn't special, just one that meant something to me - and obviously him. Every year, about 60 days before renewal, I send an offer letter, he's responded a few times but has never asked for more money, just that he isn't interested in selling.

That said, a domain broker might be able to get a response. I wish you luck.
Canola oil has the 2:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 that your first link recommends:

The ideal dietary ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 has been recommended by an international panel of lipid experts to be approximately 2:1

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC533861/table/T2/

Canola oil is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA). Among vegetable cooking oils, it is the best one. The fat composition is likely 'better' than olive oil.
Jinni is a pretty good recommendation engine. It's historically pulled from your Netflix ratings and listed where you can watch something on or off line, but that's varied based on APIs. (I think the current status is that they don't have access to any Netflix ratings data anymore.)

Even so, I like a ratings service that's separate from a content platform. I worry about the conflicts of interest Netflix faces (they already tend to underrate movies they only carry in DVD for me).

Yes, log messages from different files are interleaved based on their timestamps.
Putting a dynamic app like Github behind a CDN with page-caching just does not work. Sure they could freeze those projects and serve what is now essentially static HTML, but in day-to-day operations you're left using CDN products that let you serve static parts separately from dynamic parts, which is probably of dubious benefit during a DoS attack.
And even when things are going well, there's no way to feel happiness.
On a slight tangent, there's an article using the Sieve of Eratosthenes demonstrating the use of Communicating Sequential Threads (CSP) on Russ Cox' website (one of the developers of Go)

http://swtch.com/~rsc/thread/
This part:

"Online and off, some teams consistently worked smarter than others. More surprisingly, the most important ingredients for a smart team remained constant regardless of its mode of interaction: members who communicated a lot, participated equally and possessed good emotion-reading skills."

can be read as a variation on John Boyd's OODA loop. Boyd made the point, repeatedly, that in war and sometimes in business, victory typically goes to whoever can iterate through ideas more quickly, as new information comes in. The winners are not necessarily smarter, they simply iterate faster based on the information they have. And the same seems to be true of the teams being described here.

> Folks who work at NSA (and all the other places that don't get so much press) read xkcd religiously, they go to DEF CON, they have Linux and math t-shirts, they read HN, they are reading this thread right now, and all the other threads.

I know some. I called them coworker and in some cases still call them friend.

A feel sorry for a great many of them. They are highly skilled network attack specialists, with basically no way to apply their skills other than working for the NSA. Even if they want out, they have no viable alternative. It's terrible.
The main thing that excites me is that it's not Webkit. Google has infested it's rendering engine into everything, even my favorite: Opera.

Having competition is great, I will give this browser a genuine shot.
I'm partial to Larkin and Heaney, but I have to say my favourite poem is this one by Lawrence Raab -

Attack of the Crab Monsters

Even from the beach I could sense it---
lack of welcome, lack of abiding life,
like something in the air, a certain
lack of sound. Yesterday
there was a mountain out there.
Now it's gone. And look

at this radio, each tube neatly
sliced in half. Blow the place up!
That was my advice.
But after the storm and the earthquake,
after the tactic of the exploding plane
and the strategy of the sinking boat, it looked

like fate and I wanted to say, "Don't you see?
So what if you're a famous biochemist!
Lost with all hands is an old story."
Sure, we're on the edge
of an important breakthrough, everyone
hearing voices, everyone falling

into caves, and you're out
wandering through the jungle
in the middle of the night in your negligée.
Yes, we're way out there
on the edge of science, while the rest
of the island continues to disappear until

nothing's left except this
cliff in the middle of the ocean,
and you, in your bathing suit,
crouched behind the scuba tanks.
I'd like to tell you
not to be afraid, but I've lost

my voice. I'm not used to all these
legs, these claws, these feelers.
It's the old story, predictable
as fallout---the re-arrangement of molecules.
And everyone is surprised
and no one understands

why each man tries to kill
the thing he loves, when the change
comes over him. So now you know
what I never found the time to say.
Sweetheart, put down your flamethrower.
You know I always loved you.

Hilarious, sad, and sweet. It wasn't until decades after I first read this that I found out that this wasn't just metaphor, it's pretty much an accurate synopsis of the Roger Corman film of the same name.
You needn't worry that Fed policy is too simplistic. Bernanke is a distinguished economist (as is Yellen) and this blog post doesn't even scratch the surface of the depth of his economic knowledge and background. That's not to say that the Fed is perfect, of course, but the people in charge have serious expertise; this isn't Ted Cruz heading up an environmental committee.
I sort of half concluded that people with closed doors are more likely to be introverts and thus less likely to look for fame. :)

I'm not saying that you are saying the opposite, I'm just saying that the cause/effect is very much up in the air. I never thought it was as straight forward as asking "what is better?" (as he rightly asks too)

Personally, I never looked for fame (and I'm old enough to say that I likely never will look for it). In the end, what I want is: to be right. Even if it takes 100 wrongs to get there. With that in mind, I would be better off if I was an extrovert as I'd probably get through the wrongs quicker than if I preferred my solitude.

But as it stands, I like to be able to stare absentmindedly in a random direction without the risk of accidentally glancing at someone's new hat or haircut.

I don't know if I am slower or slightly wrong. I would not rule it out, though. :)
If they poll business's or IT admins, it just makes sense. Otherwise, Im surprised its not the ipad or the nexus
I don't find it strange to claim that this is Baudelaire's work. Of course the style and the rhymes makes it very different compared to the original version. I also think that translation has altered the poem's beauty but the message is still here, the story is the same and it leaves me with the same humbled feelings.
Redirect all visitors subjected to the GFC to one of those two repositories. China loses all of GitHub except the projects it hates the most.
Why is this any different than just Googling the number?
Yup, that fourth one should be replaced with options.

Learn these for the frontent: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Backend options: JavaScript (NodeJS or io.js), Python, Go, Ruby

All four of those backend options are reasonable options for beginners moving from the frontend to the backend or learning the frontend and backend simultaneously.
That page is pretty overwhelming. No real calls to action on it other than the suggested links on the main page. I can really see this page being too much information at once for a beginner. Maybe get rid of all the information between the end of the Note and the footer; it seems like you could put that stuff at the end of the Getting Started tutorial in a sort of "where to go from here" section. Make sure they're interested first.
That looks like a well thought out and engineered approach to handle time. Often it left unspecified what happens when time warps. And there a certainly a lot of interesting corner cases.

I've seen system misbehave very badly during time warps. Even if NTP is configured sometimes it will snap the time instead of slewing it.

It is always fun when there is a time delta measurement on absolute time and it moves backwards. Now dt is negative with all kind of wonderful and exciting ramifications "Oh so we are sleeping for 4294967294 seconds, great!"
True, I guess it's possible to crack a password for a single user, especially one with a weak password. I was more thinking that it's unlikely they'll be able to crack the passwords of everyone who was in their database, and given that Slack has so many users it's unlikely for any single person that his/her password will be cracked.

Of course, even if they can't steal everyone's passwords, maybe the hackers will try to crack the passwords of higher profile targets.
Thanks for posting this Ry. It's just making me realize how much more work I have to do to back up any claim about being "data-driven".
So IOW, you don't actually have a valid criticism of LCTHW. Got it.
Hello, OP here.
Can I get some feedback for Pickot? We are trying to make help dev. automatically track information of any site for new and desired content. Anyone has a comment on this? Thanks!
It is also worth noting that elite athletes aren't necessarily beholden to using their sponsor's equipment. It is easy enough to doll up e.g. a Head racket to look like a Wilson.
The best alternative is NONE! When was the last time our Intelligence organizations warn us of a REAL problem ahead of time?
Just wait until you ask them to define what exactly 'politics' is. You'll either get no response or it'll boil down to 'the things I don't like.'

And to clarify, this is actually a really important question because it predicates the entire discourse of separating social media and networks from politics.

Ah, sure, that would be great. I'd say it would be useful in text based programming environments too though.
Thanks for that. I had a quick look through their blog but couldn't find anything to reference.

It's been a few months since I worked with their codebase but at the time it relied on Intel SGX for the contact storage Enclave, which is now considered compromised[0]. Additionally, if you wanted to run your own, the requirements to get licensed to use the Enclave are non-trivial.

Opinions are my own, I represent no one, etc, etc.

Before doing screen reader testing on complex web components, what I see as some kind of lack box testing where you test your whole screen reader + browser stack, it is useful to have a look at what the browser passes to a screen reader. Especially Firefox has a very nice accessibility tree panel in the devtools these days. In my experience, the more visual tree that is shown there is also easier/faster to read for users that are not blind and are not that quick when using screen readers.

Also, keep in mind that something that technically works correctly with screen readers is just the beginning. User testing might reveal lots of issues you wouldn't think of yourself. And yes, I know that resources are usually limited and there is not much room for user testing, especially testing with screen reader users and other groups that have some kind of disability. I recently worked as the accessibility lead of a mobile COVID exposure notification app that had a very simple UI and a hard accessibility requirement. We had the luxury to do extensive user testing and even in this simple interface we found lots of small changes that improved the experience for screen reader users.
Yes, I am involved with Communick. I wrote a Show HN a few months ago but unfortunately it didn't pick up. [0]

Regarding trust. You don't have to trust me. That is one of the best things regarding end-to-end encryption. To be completely honest, the main issues now is (1) bus factor (I am mostly working alone on it, but I do have people that can take over this in case something happens to me) and (2) I am bootstrapped and not working full-time yet. Alas, both of these issues are the type that resolve themselves by having paying customers.

"We are use the Yayoi Kaikei accounting system."

Outside of that hilarity, this thing seriously is either fake or a scary indictment of the lack of acumen and precision demanded by an organization of this type.

I use a squirt bottle with dish soap solution, or a cup and a paint brush. I also have a gas detector, which are not too expensive, but I don't always have it when I need it. Soap and water are almost always readily available.
The eggs are the exception, I think. With 250k people having opted out, and the article speaking of 'some homes in Essen'... it probably were some youths high on googlemania - a local thing. Though I suppose others may follow - copycats.

The claim that the UK gov leaked this appears to be complete conjecture. It may be correct, but there are no facts, even circumstantial, to back this claim.
Its Achilles heel appears to be an exquisite sensitivity to rapid case contact management, even after it has established large outbreaks ...

Influenza pandemic plans use rapid case contact management early, and move to case diagnosis and management only (abandoning contact tracing and isolation) soon after community transmission of the virus has been established. Evidence from Asia, and the particular properties of Covid-19 suggest that this would be disastrous for New Zealand ...

What is required ... is an urgent large expansion of our case contact management workforce.
It is what the doctors told them. Also considering they have been in direct contact with officially tested infected people.
Young people with very hard breathing difficulties (for the first time in their life), fever, muscular and bone pain, etc.
Btw, the doctors call them at least once a day but they are confined at home.
At least most work from home roles justify company owned equipment.

Hmm - if it had recommended antidepressants in general it would be reasonable advice. But there are lots of them, and no a priori reason to pick a specific one.

Most medication has side effects.
Another benefit that needs to be mentioned is it provides an unconditional safety blanket for anyone who has a job. People who now feel they are stuck in a job for fear of being broke wouldn't feel as stuck under a UBI. This is a huge benefit for the majority of people. Many workplaces would improve, especially the worst ones, as people wouldn't feel as stuck in them, this severely limits the degree that employers can treat their employees badly. For the self employed it gives them freedom to leave their occupation and do something else when things get bad for whatever reason. Even people who are financially secure and have their own wealth as a safety net are likely to benefit from workplace improvements, even if the money from a UBI itself is a lot less important to them.

In short, the benefits to the already employed should not be left out.
Judea Pearl is NOT the author of the piece.

You are arguing against an imaginary argument. Parent and grand parent comment did not say anything about genetics.

Darwin could go inside the study because his gender role was fulfilled by being rich. Had he been poor he might have said "I will be in the coal mine", and getting slowly and horrible killed.

Very few know people in history had the privilege to freely obsess over things which is outside their gender role, especially if the result leads to them not fulling that role through other means.
This rings true, and will be useful to introspect and more clearly explain concerns to colleagues. Apart from the short article[1] linked from the submission, are there similar pieces written from the POV of a manager or designer?

Aside: Pretty sure most managers at my job already understand most of what this article is saying. I count my lucky stars, and I'll be sure to remind them that this is a huge reason why a lot of us stick around. Just as the article reminds us to recognize the engineers, we must also recognize when i.e. managers do something positive for their team.

Also, on thanking engineers: If you see an engineer do something to help other engineers, recognize them or, better, help them. It really stings when, say, you spend a frustrating afternoon debugging obtuse test scaffolding code that's been affecting multiple teams, only to get nothing beyond a quick "looks good" review.
