Touchscreen one is an annoyance, yes. But the 196Mb app storage is fixable - Cyanogenmod 6.1 is the way to go. I am running it on my N1 and it gives you the ability to move any app to the SD card and it all just works. You might even get Gingerbread update from CM earlier than Google/Stock Firmware <edit> Well not really CM requires the new hardware drivers from Gingerbread that are not in AOSP - so Google will have to release Gingerbread for N1</edit>.
26/3 is ~8.67, I wonder if that is relevant.
signal is not without its shortcomings
To add onto this there’s also lengthy cognitive testing (usually about 6-8 hours of tests) that is much more precise. My understanding from talking to my psychiatrist is that there are certain traits, such as reaction speed, that are correlated extremely strongly with ADHD. Usually patients with ADHD will test averagely on most of the cognitive tests and then perform several standard deviations below average on exactly those tests.
I will paraphrase a former Japanese manager who taught me a lot about designing for production:

"Plans will always fail but we must always have plans."
Here’s what they mean: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...

(Sorry for just pasting a link, but I think it’ll be more clear than any summary I could make.)
I think you're missing the point...
Gecko is (mostly, at least) traditional C++. Servo is written in Rust.
From the countries mentioned in the article, Honduras might have the least free media.
ADHDers do work hard, it's just that we need to work around our brains sometimes.

I got straight A's in middle school but when I started in high school my grades started slipping. I got diagnosed after 2 years and just by understanding more about my brain and talking to other ADHDers my grades skyrocketed. In college I'm coasting on straight A's again.

After 3ish years diagnosed, I still haven't found any medication that works for me without ramping my anxiety through the roof (with anything school related), but I've found it amazingly helpful when I'm not stressed out. You might wonder what I'm using adderall for if not for school, but for me it just helps my mental state and makes interacting with people and just generally living easier since I'm not constantly distracted.

I'm lucky enough that my ADHD isn't too severe and I've had good enough teachers to make it through most classes. I'm also lucky that I can pretty intensely hyperfocus on coding except for off weeks where I just wanna skate or play video games or read or whatever else. My github squares tell a story.

You admit to doing mental gymnastics to keep your addictions justified and I think this is an example of you trying to convince yourself that your problem is common. Maybe you should get some help
Over the years our team has gotten good at grooming and splitting up tickets, at estimating individual tickets and keeping a steady Sprint velocity.

Each 3 week Sprint we deliver what the team commits itself to.

However on a macro level we fail spectacularly. Initial Roadmap estimation of how long new features take are way off. A new feature should be ready in 3 sprints.. make that 6. This milestone should be reached in 2 sprints.. Make that 4.

It often comes down to hidden requirements that are discovered midway or prototypes that get into feedback loops with stake holders and take much longer then expected. Compared to those problems, we Rather seldomly we hit unexpected technical problems that prolong a project (but of course this happens too)
Not only that but it’s changed the social dynamic in a shitty way.
Isn't also limiting the potentially boundless array of (mostly irrelevant) functions to relevant data types also relevant? I'd venture to say it is.

Ooooh... that's a Point object - no way the AddAccount function does anything relevant with it! In OO you don't even actually need to think that since Point has a limited set of methods.
Writing software that may run in a potentially hostile environment should be done with great care, and a thorough analysis of what you are actually protecting against.

This is a job for people who take programming seriously, not amateurs who can't be bothered to read the documentation of the modules they are using, e.g.

http://stuvel.eu/files/python-rsa-doc/usage.html

Note especially the bits about signing RSA, and how to use it to encrypt files. Doing raw RSA on strings longer than 245 bytes is unwise, and inventing new protocols for RSA is unwise. That the author does these things is strong evidence that the author is not demonstrating "great care".

If the author believes forgery/tampering is orthogonal and/or protection from in-process attacks, then the author should state that. That's part of the analysis step.

> Of course, the key can be recovered if you have the ability to ptrace. What's your point? That's going to be true of any solution out there.

Nonsense. If you delete the key from memory, it is obvious that someone cannot use ptrace to recover it afterwards. Detailing what is at risk, and what is not at risk is part of the analysis step.
That's an adware, don't install it.
Yes, the effect is called "stereotype threat"[1] in the psychology literature. A professor of psychology who participates in the journal club I participate in is deeply skeptical of how large the effect size of stereotype threat is in the real world. On my part, I like the interventions that have been suggested by the main stereotype threat researchers, to prime students with self-expressed affirmations of their core values to help them boost their own performance.

Postgres is currently in Ashburn VA (near AWS us-east-1) and Dublin, Ireland (eu-west-1).

Good catch on the logo, that irks me too.
tl;dr is the headline/title.
As an added bonus, you also get money sooner (pulling purchases forward).
So, again, some 100 words about nothing in particular end up stimulating 10's of thousands of response words.

Why? Maybe its like some carte blanc, where each reader sees part of themselves in the words, and they strike some inner chord that demands response. Maybe great ideas can be contained in only a few lines, distilled to some essential truth.

Maybe HNers are bored, or shallow. I don't know.
While computation expressions indeed appear to capture the concept of do notation, as far as I know, F# lacks the machinery (higher kinded polymorphism) to be able to express the abstract monadic concept (though it can obviously express specific monads, just like most modern languages). So I'm not sure it's a very good example of how much more "pragmatic" F# culture is so much as it is an example of a feature F# doesn't actually have.
* Car salesman deliberately waste your time to wear you down. "I have to ask my manager. I'll be right back." is bullshit, they go in the break room and have a coffee. If you want a test drive, "OK let me go find the keys. I just need your drivers license." that's another 40 minutes wasted, and you can't leave because they have your driver's license. After spending 4 hours at a dealership you're tired, your resistance is low, but you've invested so much time in this process now, it's human nature to want your time investment to produce something, so you don't want to leave empty handed without a new car, so now they start talking about numbers you asked about 4 hours ago, and get you excited that you might drive the car off the lot tonight, you just need to sign and here are the keys ... "oh actually, the car is being cleaned now ... can I get you something to drink?"

* Car salesman DoS attack the customer with numbers and options, for example using 4-square grid of options: overwhelm the customer with at least 4 different financing and trade in options, too many decisions to compare, lot of numbers, math, options, numbers, more options, overwhelm the customer, then steer them into the set of numbers that maximizes your commission.

* That amazing deal of the week advertised in the paper? Sorry, we don't have it anymore, we just sold the last one (bullshit) but this one here is similar model for just a little more (bullshit)

I read this article over 10 years ago, and it remains the gold standard of what you must read before stepping into a car dealership. Basically stand firm on what you will pay total and if they start playing these games then be prepared to walk away without the new car.
Completely agree. I greatly enjoyed the Thomas Covenant series as a teen. But really didn't like Moorcocks work.

A pet peeve of mine is when a writer uses "Sex and Violence" as a crutch to stand out and "push boundaries". I don't enjoy that sort of writing and as a general rule find that the whole trope gets used to hide the lack of good writing in a piece.

And the derision of Tolkien is just beyond me. The depths of Tolkeins characters is staggering. It seems like the complaints mostly boil down to Hero's with moral fiber are boring. I don't get it.
>> "I can't imagine getting rid of files and going all cloud in my creative visual art projects - just one second of a 14-bit RAW YUV 4:4:4 5k movie takes gigabytes, even the latest M.2 PCIe SSDs have trouble playing it back realtime"

How many people have this or a similar problem though? I would guess that most people deal with word documents, jpegs, and mp3's on a daily basis and rarely encounter much else.
I love the design! Great job!
> The programming part is what got people worried. you can’t introduce proteins to get your DNA to do something it isn’t naturally programmed to do without some rewriting like mRNA has the potential to do.

mRNA does NOT have the potential to do that.

The chain of information is DNA -> mRNA -> tRNA -> protein.

mRNA injection triggers protein synthesis without DNA coding for it, but it doesn’t rewrite DNA.
Any cached memory access is going to read in the entire cache line -- 64 bytes on x86, apparently 128 on M1. This is true across most architectures which use caches; it isn't specific to M1 or ARM.
Whataboutism is simply not a good justification for a country doing bad things.

Go ahead and say that the US does bad things. But, regardless of that, we should still retaliate against China for doing bad things to us.

And you bringing up even more bad things that the US has done is not relevant at all, to how we should definitely still stop China from doing bad things.
Hi, thanks for the thought! We're definitely real and building this. We did recently rebrand/pivot but here is a Twitter post of our old extension https://twitter.com/RealKevinYang/status/1285992001125531653

I dislike them, but I see one benefit: they increase effective screen real estate by leveraging time as an additional dimension.

I guess they also allow you to passively view a sequence of stuff instead of having to actively scroll to move through the sequence. Maybe that feels easier to some people.
Signal (signal.org) is a good replacement!
I was looking at some niche MIDI hardware recently and it had a link to a configuration app - which was just a web page on their site that used WebUSB.

That's exactly what I want out of web apps - no install, secure, cross platform, immediately useful, and importantly - accessible to the providers.

The configuration page is Chrome only for now, which sucks, but hopefully Apple and Mozilla will come around.
> it can do with a single core what an Intel part needs all cores to accomplish.

Care to explain what you mean specifically by this?
Don't eat anything 4-5 hours before sleep, no computer / mobile few hourse before, eat light food, less meat, sugar, fat, milk... Drink loads of water, 1.5-2L (but not before going to sleep, kidneys have to rest) and you need loads of exercises. I would also suggest to get one of these recordings to help you calm down http://www.oceen.com/store/
Hardcoded nodes are only needed if that's your first start. After that bitcoin client collects a databases of nodes, listening to "addr" messages from the network. On the next restarts, it uses addresses from that database one by one.

And there are about 300 hardcoded nodes right now from different countries.
Steve Pavlina wrote a good article a while ago: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/05/how-to-become-an-ea... Don't miss the links to more sleep experiments at the bottom.
A similar response to Pavlov's dogs.
the UIEGA outlaws 'internet gambling' so the case will be based on if poker is considered gambling, which the supreme court has already found to not be the case when California attempted to pass laws to legalize card rooms back in the 70s

A lot harder to avoid the money laundering charges, but they could argue that they had to process payments in that way because the banks wouldn't accept them because of an unjust UIEGA law
Putting aside location for a moment, its because averages are averages. Just because a number is in the middle means that's what most people earn. Suppose the top 10% make 200k and the bottom 60% make 50k. That is not an even distribution curve, yet if you do an average its higher than 50k because its offset by the top 10%.
The python 3 situation is really the python 2.4/2.5/2.6/2.7/3 situation. I'm not sure why or how it happened, but python is brutally fragmented in the real world across OS'es, in my experience.
To me it makes perfect sense. For many people, web browsers have very little to differentiate them. Chrome's single major differentiator is that it's fast. If you asked the average person what's different about Chrome— they probably wouldn't care so much about the robustness of the html5 or css3 support— they'd say that it's fast.

Microsoft can attack on that front very aggressively. So they're taking the one thing that most people know is different or special about Chrome, and saying, 'IE is faster. Faster canvas, faster svg.' Seems like a great strategy to me.
Moreover, how does the performance of Qi compare to Haskell?
you are forgiven :P
buhhhh...really?
We'll have a thousand new warning labels on devices like "People with piercings must stand clear" on their cellphone.
I don't really understand the fuss. You can edit Clojure with any text editor, right? Syntax highlighting, auto-complete, auto-indent, etc are nice features to have, and I do use them, but not really necessary for learning a language. If the language is interesting, I will learn to edit it in vim regardless of whether it's well supported.

Then again, I am probably not a good sample, since I eschewed Eclipse for notepad back when I was learning Java before I discovered linux and vim. Regardless, I still hold the opinion that it is a good mental exercise to occasionally hack the raw text without all the bells and whistles of an advanced text editor/IDE in order to internalize the language structure.
Don't panic, the revolution will be peaceful and well-read.

Perhaps we'll just scare the deletionists off to their own planet with (WP:V!) stories of a giant mutant space goat.
We should do another Founder Dating event at TechStars.

Ok, planning it.

Ignite Boulder and TEDxBoulder are coming up, are you going to be there?
Great question tjmaxal! You're right, innovation in the legal services domain is hard to come by. Law firms are very slow moving when it comes to technology. Technology implies efficiency which is generally anti-law firm due in large part to the way many firms make money: the billable hour.

We overcame the legal barrier out of necessity really. Lawyers needed to find better ways of dealing with digital information and printing everything out to paper just wasn't cutting it anymore as the data got larger and larger. So, as with many companies, the innovation was born out of necessity and we just happened to see the opportunity and ran with it.

It's still early in the market and law firms need A LOT of help, especially with search, which is unlike most consumer-based search queries (pages of boolean text). Law firms need to make absolutely sure no stone (containing juicy information) is unturned.

Slowly, but surely, law firms will adapt to the needs of the court and their clients, which will bring down more barriers to the legal services domain.
All true, but worth a brief addition: these viewing distance / screen size / resolution models all assume average adult vision, so if you are one of the folks both lucky and unlucky enough to have above-average vision (or below, for that matter) you should take that into account.

As but one example, the parent's example transition at 7 to 8 feet would occur around 10 feet for me. Above-average vision is great on paper but translates into more expensive displays positioned farther away. :(
I try not to mix the politician with the POV. Especially in this case. My impression of Obama is he's a very cerebral president. My impression is that he wants the country to have an open, honest conversation about important issues. Without stirring up controversy sometimes it's probably impossible to get people talking about or thinking about these things. My initial belief is that he not only doesn't believe in this, but wants to see strong signs that public opinion disagrees also with what he has proposed.

I'm hopeful the next president will be just as conscientious about the intricacies of important issues and how it's important not to act on controversial things without strong public support.

My initial reaction, though strongly opposed to what he's saying is: "Joke is on us". The fear I think is having a U.S. president who will not consider public opinion and go about making his / her decisions in a bubble.
I have a 3 hr daily commute to work. I normally just take a nap or listen to soft music. Occasionally though I listen to Are We Alone http://radio.seti.org/ podcast.
I meant "Effects",not "Events"
Hey, this reminds me of AdventureQuest, only with decent graphics. So compliment for the decent graphics.

The big green "SHARE" button is a bit too much in-your-face for my taste. I know you're depending on word-of-mouth, but it would still be visible enough (and less stupid) at 80-90% of its current size.

One thing that I'd love to see, though, is anything with the depth of text-based MUDs (i.e., where you have different puzzles or quests to discover). I do realize that you're aiming at more casual interactions, but maybe there would be a spot for games where you have basic, casual-styles encounters most of the time but can also launch on an hour+-long quest that will make you discover some more of the world. (And I realize, too, that having a big world means that you need more graphics and stuff - but that's something that you, and not I, would figure out. If you think at Farmville scale, the expenses for the graphics of MapleStory and the likes seem relatively minor).
Is crowd sourcing the choice of domain name intelligent? Other people may register best suggestions, the people voting may not be your target audience, and your intuition may be quicker and provider better guidance.
Governments that deviate from their proper purpose of protecting individual rights become an outright enemy of their citizens when they supress speech to the point that no one can speak to change things for the better.

It is an understatement to say that this American view of government is just a longstanding tradition; see quotes by Jefferson and other founders.
Potentially, although I'd expect that a person with the health of an obese 30 year old would still have lower medical expenses than a non-obese 60 year old. At any rate, obesity is a relatively easy problem compared to aging. (Step 1: stop subsidizing corn syrup...)
Fair point. I am thrilled by India's actions and didn't mean to imply they weren't acting exactly as they said they would.
You can run more than just OSX on a Mac laptop.
Some places don't even test at all so they have zero known cases. They must be doing something right.
Yeah, hello, delete it.
It's not hard to see how testing high-ranking government officials in the middle of a crisis would be in the public interest.
What if your binary, or one of its libraries, is not built with LLVM?
This War Stories series from Ars is really great. The episodes are generally geared for the gaming audience and not necessarily a technical audience, but they often touch on a wide range of topics involved in producing video games that also end up being applicable in wider software development.
This has always been one of the big issues. I remember in college in the 1990's being told that you can't just enact pollution limits globally because developing countries would call foul over the injustice. The UK and the US and others got rich by (doing what we'd describe today as) polluting horribly, on their way to develop cleaner technologies. If you put pollution caps on all countries, it's going to hit developing countries right when they're trying to do the same.
One thing I really wanted to be able to do with Propeller was a post-link optimization of a Go program. Go's compiler is both fast and terrible. If you glance at the text, opportunities for simple optimizations abound. Unfortunately the layout of the program, references between the debug information and the function entry points, and Propeller having been designed for C++ programs kept me from getting very far. I did get a little ways, but not far enough that I could keep a long-running Go program from crashing.
A simple exercise is to watch a movie and try to let the judgement pass as you simply try to imagine what the character is thinking about. Sometimes we do this effortlessly but sometimes judgement creeps in and we start thinking 'I would never do that' 'how could they possibly think that, I would never think that' etc.
Heh, I added this one to our engine at work, based on the deferred approximation. Of all the papers I've implemented, this one was easily the most bang for our buck. Specular aliasing is a big issue in games, especially considering the camera distances our games work at.

The full paper along with the previous one is helpful for understanding the theory:

http://www.jp.square-enix.com/tech/library/pdf/ImprovedGeome...

http://www.jp.square-enix.com/tech/library/pdf/Error%20Reduc...

Anton also helped me figure out why I was seeing some weird results. Turns out the artists had some junk normals that were normally getting hidden by the aliasing. The big challenge here is making sure your art can support the wider angles of the non-aliased specular.
Except at least the American bureaucrats were accountable to the Department of Commerce, and ultimately elected officials.

ICANN is accountable to nobody, whatsoever, in any capacity.

What if the customer took the vegetable and put it in a bag which sits on a scale right in front of the shelf. Then they take the bag and go.

Alternatively, the entire shelf is a scale, but the shelves are smaller so that only one person can pick vegetables at a time.
sticking OPNSense on one of these [1] was probably the best LAN decision i've made, besides a Synology backup NAS.

it acts as a pihole and a lot more (firewall, device vlan isolation, vpn termination, etc). i have these hosts files [2] loaded into its DNSmasq config.
