> I, and surely tons of others on this forum, am doing this right now without issue.

I personally run Teams, Spotify, Evernote and Discord, but I close them as soon as finish working with them. So without issue is a bit of a stretch. Also These applications glitch in a funny, agonizing and obscure ways. They are non-deterministic blobs and this is not good.

> Sure it's not perfect, especially if you're on battery, but most of the time it just doesn't matter to almost all of their user base.

Actually, when computing is moving on portables in an ever increasing speed, this sounds bad. "It's a nice application, but it just kills your mobility. It's not important anyway, eh?"

I don't think the approach of "we have a lot of processing power and its processor is efficient anyway, so let's abuse this" is a good way to approach software development.
Part of the beauty of it is that you don't realize it's happening. You just use more, and more, and more of their services...
Plenty of monocultures exist in the real world and we almost already have a Chrome/WebKit based monoculture. Where's the actual, non-theoretical disaster?

Safari is the only browser that has any significant uptake (~20%) and Chromium was forked from WebKit, so all Chromium browsers already share a good chunk of their foundation with WebKit. You could say that we really almost have a WebKit monoculture since Firefox, the only non-Chromium/WebKit browser only has 3.65% of the market. [0]

Heck, the vast majority of Internet servers and most of the clients are running on the Linux kernel but nobody is complaining about that.

I agree that asset inflation is an inevitable consequence of money supply expansion. I just don’t see any indication that we’re headed toward a fiat collapse.

Markets might not be choosing fiat currency for a store of value, but they’re still apparently choosing it for a medium of exchange.
And that fact has, more or less, been answered. And even the to-be-delveloped aircraft are expected to fight in enviroments in which they more often loose against air defence and have equal odds against same gen fighters with slight adavtages against fighters one gen behind. The latter largely depends on Command-and Control. And on radar. Basically, stand-off attacks only work against between stealth and non-stealth fighters. Between stealth ighters, it's up close again.

Radar already now can tag, reliably, the F-35. And will tag next gen stealth jets. The same radar already now can trace 100s of contacts per installation, making saturation difficult. Air combat really is getting expensive... The problem steath jets have , is that you need only a handfull of ground based radars. Which can be develeoped and deployed fatser than new stealth jets. Stealth, so, is loosing its usefullness over the service life of a model. And that service life will be long.

Stealth will still be needed to not be at a disadvantage against other stealth jets, so. Unfortunately for the F-35, it is the fisrt of these fighters.

thank you, this is what i wish i wrote.
As a (somewhat insecure) Asian guy, I have to say that skull shape matters. Some of us tend to have flat back of heads, which is less than ideal in Western beauty standards.

In my younger years I had my head buzzed to a near monk length (I was pretty obsessed with Buddhism at the time) and it did not look right. Friends commented that I looked 'intense.' While perfect for the monk persona, I was going for the more badass tough guy look. It was a tough few months.

Also, facial hair helps a lot, which I am unable to grow.

So I look forward to hair plugs if I ever start going bald.
Interesting idea (building a distro that emulates Windows for new users). Shame it hasn't been updated in two years though.
I love that you are digging even deeper on the problem! We say it is to “reduce stress”, but that is because that’s a simplified catchall that many people can relate to. You are totally right that stress a symptom. The real underlying cause is lack of awareness and peace within one's own self - the ability to separate from feelings of stress or overwhelm and not let them define you, but look at them more objectively and no longer have upsetting things ruin your day for example. The music has very strong BEATS, which give the mind something EVEN more concrete to focus on (the beat, the breathing pattern, and the teachers voice all serve as the object of attention, like a mantra) - so even though its loud, it does in fact make it easier to cultivate focus for people who find traditional objects of focus (e.g. "following the feeling of the breath") hard to anchor attention on. For anyone who finds silent meditation effective, we are so happy for them and they don't really need our new approach. What we are trying to do is create a new experience that resonates with people who are more drawn to upbeat styles so we can help more people unlock more peace and happiness.
They replace just enough of them on a rolling basis to keep their brand reputation where they want it. 4Runner owners tend to get more shafted (shorter if any recall) than Tacoma owners.

If they wanted to fix the problem they've had 30-something years to just copy what a different OEM is doing. But why would they fix it if they're still selling trucks and SUVs hand over fist?
I recently wrote a good enough tcp to layer an http server on top. It's not very good, but I did it, and now I can use someone else's ;)

PS Hello fellow toast
I spoke with one of the doctors who designed the criteria for determining whether a lung module found not through screening is cancer. He mentioned that they very nearly added a different criteria for Asian women, but were too worried about the potential backlash.

Having said that, IANAL, but I find it unlikely that the use of a dolphin and the word Ecco together are not trademarked, so you may want to check on that before someone bugs you about it
>On a kilojoule-for-kilojoule basis, excessive intake of HFCS is a lot more harmful to health than excessive intake of sugar is.

Do you have a source for that? I don't see how sucrose from sugar cane is any healthier than HFCS, which is the same thing, just split by an enzyme.
What software?

Bombs under your neighbor's porches, according to this sister comment - more seriously, the offensive capabilities outlined in the original article. I think both of you are taking an over-literal reading of my comment.
People forget that if one is forced to re-write the code, it might as well just use another language.
Indeed. While personally I think Tcl is a better language than either, professionally I jumped straight from Perl 4 to Python, bypassing Perl 5 altogether. The combination of needing rigid standards to make a codebase maintainable in big projects, with the dynamic nature of the language meaning that tool support for it was scarce, was a double whammy.

Now that I think about it, not even that big projects, teams of 10 or so devs, getting bogged down in language issues that Python simply didn't have (and no one even wished for tool support for, the was no need!)
Because whether a story makes it onto the front page is a total crap shoot. It depends entirely on whether anyone is looking at the new page in the 30-60 minutes immediately after you submit.
Bitcoin is in for it as soon as it gains any reasonable traction. The government is not going to be happy about that at all. Fortunately, btc is a peer-to-peer network and should theoretically be hard to shut down. I doubt it's actually hard to shut down since the client gets its list of peers from the user list in an automatically and transparently joined IRC channel (if I understand correctly). Heh.

I think, however, the domain seizures just emphasize the importance of using a system that doesn't depend on regularly constituted DNS and getting more and more P2P infrastructure in place. I2P should be looked at as particularly promising.
> Constitutional law is so much more complicated than, "this is what the document says".

If you can't read the document and deduce it's meaning, why use this document? Is this an emperors clothe type of thing?
If site X suggests to users that they use pass phrases consisting of common words chosen at random, then "this is fun" is not very secure. A brute force attack using /usr/share/dict/words found on many Unix systems would take about the same effort as a brute force attack on an 8 character random password where characters are drawn from upper case, lower case, digits, and common punctuation.

You'd actually break most people's common words passwords using smaller word lists, say the 4096 most common words. Three words from the top 4096 chosen at random gives a password equivalent to a little under 6 characters of mixed case/digits/punctuation.

You are right though, the UIGEA makes it illegal to transfer money from a US citizens account to an 'illegal gambling operation.' It doesn't actually define what an illegal gambling operation is.

HN, it's been six months since I launched NewsBlur (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1834305) and I've been working nearly every single day in my free time to bring this API to light.

As some of you know, it's entirely open-source on GitHub (http://github.com/samuelclay) and a number of NewsBlur's users subscribe to NewsBlur's GitHub history, so there's this crazy meta quine-esque feel to coding in the open.

Building an API is hard. I didn't realize it'd be so many moving parts that don't care to align, but comb it over a few dozen times and it's finally there. This is the first API I've built myself, so the obvious things aren't so obvious. Like don't build endpoints that are named /reader/load_single_feed instead of the more RESTful /reader/feed/:id.

If I were to be perfectly RESTful, I'd have PUT and DELETE methods on the same endpoint URLs. But for now the API exists as a bunch of discrete endpoints that each have their own quirks. Smoothing them over is something that will take some experience and some real-world battle testing.

I'd like to think that this goes to show that anybody can build an API (and a service beneath it). I think the consistent message I've had to deal with every single day, even as hard as it got sometimes/always, was to not give up. It's a bit easier now to not give up, but those first few months, when everything broke and nothing worked, and the night would pass and I'd wake up to dead robots, were tough.

Lend me your thoughts. I'd love to hear feedback so I can make this API/service better and improve my own education in the process.
Start with the assumption all comments are wrong; after all there's no absolute truth. The scores are a measure of popularity, which is often right and sometimes wrong. Plus everyone is entitled to an opinion. I don't think scores help anything, it's a measure of someones self-righteousness that i 'd rather not have. It's enough that unpopular opinions float to the bottom, where they belong.

If anything i'd suggest that comment scores should also have minimal impact in karma, except for questions, where an answer is a valuable contribution. Otherwise, everyone's entitled to an opinion.
Did you propose a 2x salary increase to accompany the 2x productivity increase? It could get the programmers, if not the managers, to decide your way was worth a try.
wow that's awesome, I thought that it didn't work but I just left it on a tab and then went back to it after a while then randomly clicked around and it started working.
I think they piggyback on top of the Arecibo scope, but don't get to choose where to point it.
Using random factors in election is a really old practice going back to Athenian Democracy at least.. It's known as Sortition.
I agree. Don't give up and try and bring anyone and everyone along for the ride. This doesn't mean make them a partner, but share your experience and don't be afraid to ask others for help. This will give you a network of other people with similar interests and yourself a reputation that will help down the lines. It will also give you a perspective on if you want to work with these people in the future or on your next project.
There's an interesting side effect of this system which I think means that it would have lessened impact on the policies implemented by the elected officials.

As in his example, pretend the Kitten party appeals to 10% of the electorate distributed evenly across districts. So in roughly 10% of districts, the Kitten party would earn a seat, but would only represent 10% of their constituency.

In this case, the incentives of the elected Kitten party representative shift. Instead of keeping to their Kitten party ideals, they would seek to maximize their following within their district by shifting to a median political position. This would ensure them the maximum likelihood of re-election in the following campaign.

So theoretically the actual policies coming out of each district would still represent the median view of the electorate in that district, and the Kitten party would remain disenfranchised.
I'll check with him. He likes to keep a low profile. Otherwise I'm sure he could get a front page post by writing, "How I Built A $1 Million/Year Blog Network With $0 Funding."

Your chance of survival would go from (0.9) to (0.9*0.9).

Also, this paper hasn't actually proven a cure. It has clearly demonstrated long-term suppression. However, by replacing the CCR5-deficient T cells with his regular cells, you'd certainly test the hypothesis. There is also the risk that you would be reintroducing HIV-infected cells.
1password. I use it on my mac, iPad, and iPhone. Incredible product.
Nothing. Until the time that it is evolving with the way how people wants to connect socially. And Facebook does a good job at it by hiring visionaries, getting people with a good common sense and attracting talents whom they know would be excited being part of a technical social revolution.

Nonetheless, the only thing that could probably kill Facebook is when people stop using it. Simple as that.
While this isn't the first time wikileaks has been in the news, am I the only one that sees a problem with people's seeming interest in awarding this to whatever person is in the news closest to the time of the reveal?

Wikileaks has been in the public conscious for maybe a month (combined) this entire year. Regardless of your politics, you have to admit the Tea Party has been ever-present and incredibly effective at changing the makeup of our government and getting their message out. I don't see how wikileaks has that same (perceived) effect on everyday Americans' lives.
Early adopters have already started to abandon Facebook. However, they come back because there is no better option.

What's going to kill Facebook is something better. Less spam, better privacy, etc, but it still needs to be at least as good as Facebook to get anywhere. And that’s going to take a seriously long runway a great development team and awesome management. Look for a profitable nitch like LinkedIn that just keeps growing.
Ha, you're very observant.

I love HN; it's one of my main sources of information. But there is an incredible sense of impatience created by all these stories of rapid success.

Overnight success is the exception, not the rule.
Per-application isolation sounds completely unworkable for a developer.

Maybe per-customer isolation, or per-usecase isolation.

Isolating customer work (or use case like "production deployment") into separate UNIX user accounts works fairly reasonably.
Slashdot always struck me as snarkier and snippier and sarcastic compared to HN. There were some pure tech topics (my interest was in the Linuxy and systemsy stuff)... but I remember the snark. However it's been so long my memory might be tainted.

After reading your comment a few times, I still don't see the argument for why it makes sense to partition simply based on race. At best it's a proxy for real personal difficulties, but at worst it's just another top-down cookie cutter model that will precess and oppress the individuals it claims to help.

Anybody that has gone to school or otherwise suffered an institution is keenly aware that the major failure mode of institutions is trying to push top-down models that don't respect the individual details of their members. Taking it as a given that different people have their own individual learning style - why wouldn't we want to, for each individual, determine a teaching approach that best suits them? There will likely be correlation between race and learning style, but why should we take that as a fundamental given and leave behind all of those students who don't fit that simple model?

For example, from page 10 of the pdf you linked:

> Design homework policies that are responsive to the lives of students of color in order to support their learning needs.

Shouldn't homework policies be responsive to all students home lives? What is special about "of color" that makes for a different home life, beyond being correlated to other qualities that would be more appropriate to speak in terms of?

I'll give you that there is an issue of latent racism where a teacher will/may be less understanding to a minority, but it seems like addressing this issue directly makes more sense, rather than thinking it will fall out of some overabstracted general concern. Reading that pdf gives me the same exact feeling I had reading "literature" in college that mostly consisted of ambiguous postmodern rambling, where the only winning move was to regurgitate the themes and phrases the professor themselves had said. Such antirealism is not a foundation for reforming society.

(Having said that, I think this "CRT" political trope is mostly just a bogeyman)
Of course as American employees of the American branch office you might draw comparisons between the work culture there and other, similar tech companies in America and factor this into your valuation of the employer in question.

Author only quoted a single source, so I'd argue that the hypothesis is invalid.

IMO, natural born entrepreneurs don't see it as being a zombie or miserable, and creatives that found their way to entrepreneurship can. It really depends on personality type.
Yea, you could probably inline the calls and unroll the loop, but I don't see a way of getting around the syscalls.

I'd be curious to know what those syscalls are doing inside.
"The same legislation passed in the 1970s to force increased fuel efficiency, for instance, has brought no new innovation to U.S. vehicle fuel consumption in two decades"

I disagree with this. We've seen hybrids, pure electric and much more efficient normal engines created in the past 20 years with things like cylinder shut-off, etc. If someone from 1970 saw a Toyota Prius it would seem like something straight out of the Jetsons.
I'm not sure. Mail me :-) (see my HN profile)
Yes. When I first started using version control, the freedom to refactor and delete old code confidently was a thrill. These days, even a tiny, short-term project can get the benefit of version control; it's as simple as `git init`. There's no reason to leave commented-out code in a file anymore.
"...mistakes I _make_ all..." would be a more 'native' wording. (That isn't a dig, by the way, just given as a piece of information.)

My wife is Italian, and it's amazing how many constructs you come across that are correct, but sound odd. Defining rules for many of them in English is almost impossible given the unstructured nature of the language, which drives her mad given her background as a Mathematician.

It also annoys her no end that most people don't correct/question her if they understand the intent of what she said. They feel they'd come across as rude pedants, but she wants to know so that she can improve her grasp of the language.
I don't see how the Coanda effect explains how the classical airfoil profile allows planes to fly upside down - I'd expect them to be dragged down by it, not lifted up.

Can anybody please explain that, or link to an explanation?
Maybe but I find that both jQuery and CoffeeScript shine a good light on JavaScript's functional side.

I really think you will learn to write better JS by studying it along with CS. When you get the feel of it, I don't think you'll find jQuery that strange.

I agree this lowers the barrier, but fundamentally it seems to come down to - if you don't want people knowing where you are, don't carry around a GPS-enabled always-on computer in your pocket!
Agreed. Yes, it is easy to attack video game servers. Indie game servers even more so.

If you want to DoS a server so that players can't die wool or smelt iron or hit pigs for porkchops, you should probably reevaluate what you're spending your time on.
You can hack these up yourself from the "Real 3D" glasses given out at most 3D theaters.

1. Obtain one pair of glasses
2. Pry apart at the seam with a putty knife or small flathead
3. Remove one of the gel lenses
4. Flip it over and put it back in, note the areas that need to be trimmed
5. Trim with scissors
6. Reinsert gel, stick the plastic back together

There will be a slight bit of ugliness where the gel filter doesn't quite take up the entire cutout area in the plastic frame, but they work well.
But then it would have contained no information right?
