Marissa Mayer (Google Head of Locations, formerly Products) touched on this problem in a talk she gave. I vaguely remember, but I believe she talked about how a painter was always overwhelmed by his blank white canvas so he would paint a small stroke on each canvas to start with that. Often times having a start point can help spur you into motion.

One way I like to get started with design is by working on the logo first (which is relatively simple, since its plain text at first), and then continue to build around it until I'm past the block. Hope that helped.
I don't know how far any of those projects went but the descriptions alone don't sound like crap at all.
[I haven't use the product yet, my comment is based on my observation on their website.]

I think the technology behind this piece of hardware is unquestionable advanced, I can't see people using it every day. The reason being is majority of people have set schedules, they rest and wake up at certain times that can't be changed because of their jobs requirements.
I actually got a lot of leads from my last job search through LinkedIn. Not only did I message connections who were with companies I was interested in, but I found a lot of relevant listings in the job posting section (and actually heard back from recruiters). I'm guessing part of my success was due to the fact that the job postings section of the site hasn't reached critical mass like some of the larger job search sites (e.g. Monster).

I described it in multiple calls at Stripe today as "The most impressive demo I have seen in years", and I think you can reasonably understand that I didn't join HN 10 years ago as part of a stealth mission to a) get hired by Stripe and then b) talk up audio editing software to them so that my shadowy masters got that sweet sweet podcast budget.

Here's some work from yesterday where I trained an ML model to simulate me and then used it for a point edit and then full-text-to-speech. https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1346238460969959424?s=20
Despite all the controversy, soylent did show there is a market for this. If MealSquare can actually deliver to early adopters in a timely fashion, I'd imagine they could capture a lot of the Soylent market...

Looking forward to the crowdfunding and more timeline details!
What do you dislike about Rust?
Really excited by tomorrow's talk at 12PST: "Bringing Modern Web Techniques to Mobile". ReactJS' twitter feed said the release date was due in "weeks" late feb, so coupled together I'm hopeful for a release!
I'm working my way through the matasano crypto challenges and learning a lot. http://cryptopals.com/
Also learning Racket through HtDP http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e
I had started with Swift, but… not loving it.
There's so much, it's overwhelming sometimes just deciding what to go after.
This submission is pathetic. As much as I am outraged at the invasion of rights at our airports, we should not be launching a vendetta against these private citizens. Take your issues up with your public elected officials.
The protobuf encoding carries a ton of redundant crap around (if not as much as text formats). You can do a lot better by paying more attention to the schema and omitting facts that aren't allowed to change, like tags on self-delimiting required fields and arrays (ASN.1 PER does this well).

The protobuf tradeoffs only make any sense if you think you can somehow do something useful with messages that are somewhat but not entirely corrupted, because you still have to solve the problem of finding intact field boundaries without being given any HDLC-style framing.
Not really. It is more of a class of programs. Much like the mapreduce family of things.

But yeah, it's often a GUI to what you used to do with a select, some regexes, and a bcp.

I seem to recall ab initio being a popular product in this space.

(bcp? sybase or SQL server victim?)
hey thank you so much for your advice. Actually i am thinking of moving away from landline to mobile routing, mainly because of cost and complications. I am planning to implement Asterisk,in my house, which i am planning to use as an office for volunteers. This Skype thing is really neat btw. AsteriskNow looks really what i need, but i will shoot you an email if i find my self a little lost while dealing with Asterisk. :)

Neat idea. Which subset of the language could be better optimized by interpreters?
The guys behind arXiv have some interesting thoughts on the subject:

Not surprisingly, functional solutions to problems are often like mathematics solutions. Reading through them takes more time but for those in the know it'll be much more efficient.

I can read most procedural programs like I was reading a novel. Just read each line without thinking a lot about specifics, and the whole picture kinda paints out in front of me. It's a mistake I also often make that I try to read programs written in the FP paradigm (or math!) the same way.
* I can assure you that doctors (well, dentists) do <i>not</i> charge on a fixed-symptom basis.*

Interestingly, under the Medicare reimbursement system, that's pretty much exactly how they are paid (if the patient is a Medicare patient).
I think you need to compare total memory bandwidth to total memory bandwidth, rather than memory chip speed. Skip the diagram and get to:

The memory speed on the 6970 tops out at 5.5Gbps (1375MHz), while the 6950 hums along at 5.0Gbps (1250MHz). That puts memory bandwidth in the 175GB/s and 160GB/s ranges for the Radeon HD 6970 and 6850, respectively

The key numbers there are 175 GB/s and 160 GB/s (not quite as fast as nVidia still, but not 2 orders of magnitude away either). Even 1998's Voodoo 2 had 2.2 GB/sec of memory bandwidth :-)
For anyone curious why this doesn't translate into a 427GHz computer, light can travel about 1.4mm in one cycle at 427GHz, meaning that all synchronized components would have to be located within 1.4mm of each other. The bottleneck for processor speed became the speed of light some years ago.
Pretty apt reaction to your fallacious appeal to authority, IMO.
I'm not sure I'd agree. By and large employers exist in language silos and will only hire devs with experience in their specific language, this means that there are distinct markets for different languages. That effect is amplified that entire sectors focus on specific languages.

So for example Java in London tends to be pretty well paid because all the investment banks hire for it heavily, this has also pushed up Java salaries in non-banking role.

The best PHP dev with great negotiating skill probably still makes less than an average Java dev at a bank.
Isn't this what WCF does as well? WCF will happily interact with JSON clients, and make spinning out services blissfully easy and efficient.
This stuff is based on plain old identity federation. SAML protocol using SAML assertions.

The problem is that they're outsourcing identity provision - ref. "...such as banks, governments, healthcare organizations, and others..." in the linked article.

The article also (correctly) states that "The credential exchange will be designed to transmit credential information securely without knowing users’ actual identities."

This is neat, for sure, but isn't always required (how would a health care provider be useful if they didn't know who you are), and is only half of what they should be doing.

So the relying party shouldn't always need know who the user actually is, but (much more importantly) the identity provider should never need to know where the user is conducting his or her affairs.

As an example:

You're laid off at work, and need to claim benefits. You have a mortgage, and because you feel you can get a new job before you run out of savings that service the mortgage, you don't want your bank to know that you're been laid off. But guess what, your bank is your identity provider, and will know that you've logged into the jobless benefits site. So the bank flies your mortgage into the side of the mountain. No survivors, call off the search.

Providing this kind of asynchronous privacy (where, at the user's discretion, the relying party cannot determine who the user is, and the identity provider cannot determine who the relying party is) is not difficult. U-Prove is tech from Microsoft (acquired from Credentica) that does it, and is open-source.
Well, you can start with Iran. The reason it's such a mess today is because of our own meddling in 1953. Well, meddling isn't really the right word. More like a CIA-backed coup to overthrow Mossadegh and install a brutal dictator, all because BP didn't like Mossadegh's decision to push legislation nationalizing the oil fields. There's also Indonesia. We weren't exactly doing the communists any favors there either. We didn't mind that hundreds of thousands of people were being slaughtered then. We tacitly accepted it at best, because we didn't want another domino to fall in the wrong direction.
Mi laboras ĉe internacia kompanio, sed (triste) ni ne uzas Esperanton por komuniki. La angla lingvo venkis. Mi ankoraŭ ŝatas paroli Esperanton por amuziĝi.

(I work for an international company, but (sadly) we don't use Esperanto to communicate. English won. I still like to speak Esperanto for fun.)
No I can't, but that I can't is pretty much the problem I'm stating: that people need to think of it as useful for things, not as "oh, that was that template thing they used in the nineties." I'm talking about public image here, not tawdry reality.
Hot take:cooking your own food
You mention that the JavaScript console has been used maliciously – doesn’t its continued existence show that we can put up a fence that’s good enough? Even the most locked down corporate PCs still provide access to the console. I’ve also never heard of anyone being tricked into rooting an Android device or enabling USB debugging.
What's a quick straightforward alternative that supports more than a few websites without having to pay?
That's quite a battle to wage, considering that at least two of Silicon Valley's largest companies are built around surveillance and invasion of privacy, and their core business model is selling their user's private information.
I definitely would not give up amazon for free education, health care, etc... Those socialists implementations come at a very high cost. Yes, our current system is not well, but it's better than the government taking 60% of my earned income.
As someone who has never used a code generator before, what is the use case for this?
I am working on a saas in my free time it was supposed to launch in 2014 but I guess it will take some more time. My application would allow tenants to pay their rent online. I am using openresty, couchdb, jquery and simple grid. Here are my reasons for choosing the stack that I did:-

1. couchdb: it was the obvious choice for me one because I know it well and second because it is document oriented. Most of my data is JSON representation of real world documents like the rent contract, the monthly bills dues etc. And lastly because I feel that couchdb is an excellent server side JavaScript environment. I am using it to render templates, validate data and even for user accounts management. Lots of easy wins for me there. Plus who knows I may decide to add an offline component to my app in the future :)

2. Openresty: I discovered openresty from a hacker news thread (thank you HN :-). I already used nginx but I was a bit frustrated with it when I could not do some slightly complex things. Couchdb has an http api and I just needed some tiny bit of scripting to make it suitable for my application. I think that openresty + couchcdb/elasticsearch/oritentdb/ any database with an http api is a great combo.

3. Jquery: old and faithful. I have worked with knockout in the past and while I really like it I feel much more productive with jquery.

4. simple grid: a very small css grid framework. If I need anything else I just extract it from twitter bootstrap. For example I extracted table styles from it when I couldn't get my tables to look as good. It works well for me.
Well I deliberately called my tool "Hajo's Headphone Enhancer" because it is optimized for my head / ear sizes ... that is (in my opinion) also the biggest problem with measuring actual HRTFs with dummy heads: It'll only work if the user has a head that is similar to the dummy head used for recording.
Interestingly, i believe these same projects used to get attacked on code.google.com as well
Is apples lidar resolution good enough to scan an LP?
The moral accounting behind carbon offsets always struck me as bizarre. Wealthy people fly private jets and then buy carbon offsets, acting as if the excess carbon emissions generated by flying on private jets is utterly negated by their offsets. It's as if a serial killer were to claim that he shouldn't be judged for his sadistic crimes because of his charitable contributions.
Here in the US they offer health insurance and dental insurance as two completely separate programs. They are separated enough that it strikes me as remarkable.
You mean primary sources like the program that had US scientists embedded in Chinese laboratories that Trump dismantled in 2019?

Also, you clearly don’t understand what the WHO does and how critical it has been in the reduction and even eradication of disease spread across the world over decades.

Further, the WHO, much like most multilateral organizations is dependent on its member states for strength. When the most powerful member state voluntarily and unilaterally chose to disengage over the past half decade, it shouldn’t be surprised that the 2nd most powerful member state is calling the shots.
Is there any evidence that public labs are producing less science than they have in the past?
The way it's designed, you want to ship a container of shitbowls, not a shitbowl of shipping containers.
The industry is sexist. That's the answer. No more, and no less than other industries.

If it's not more sexist than other industries, then that can't be the reason why there are fewer women.

They call it a pipeline problem when it's really a willingness problem. If they took it seriously they'd already have a solution.

Please enlighten us with the solution that will produce an equal ratio of men and women when 80% of CS graduates are men.
The times is anti-tech but their other sections are the best I have found. Opinion obviously isn't for everyone but they have a wide enough range of ideas that most can find a columnist they like. The journal has good news too, but if you accidentally read the opinion section you'll want to vomit. The post I've found isn't as good outside of politics.
Thanks. Site guidelines discourage comments like yours but I was definitely rapidly getting downvoted till you said something. Interesting stuff.

I don't think anything I said about the WHO is particularly controversial considering the last year and their disinformation campaign.

Anyway, bodies like the WHO can't be effective information sources because you get in trouble if a novel contagious disease started in your country. It has to lead to increased money flow to the diseased site at disease onset and decreased money flow to sites likely to risk creating novel disease.

That is, market pandemic bonds structured on a regional basis will probably yield a better indicator than the WHO.
My replacement.

I'd want to hire people who are knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals and are able to accurately and intelligently answer questions about research studies and side effects. But an effective person would probably hire hot chicks and chatty dudes and give them big expense accounts.
Been using the links posted here for NFL: http://www.reddit.com/r/nflstreams

I sent him a case of coffee ice cream.
I will suggest that one obvious answer is to try to develop a competitor for Jpay and see if it isn't possible to arrange for people to have another option, even if individuals in prison don't get a choice, maybe a few prisons would take the option and then at least a subset of prisoners would be less screwed over by this system.
You as well. I suppose I'm just rather nervous about pursuing this. I'm just about to graduate from college and have decided to pursue my startup idea.
Yes, it is to me. You don't need a law degree. It doesn't take 3 years of your time to fight a C&D letter.
Yeah, I'd think it was a bit silly if someone spent time commenting Fizzbuzz...
The questions are on an ascending scale - this weeds out the bad candidates early on. Things like keywords and syntax are easily Googlable sure, but people who really do this stuff every day will rattle through that section of e interview in 5 minutes.
appdk, you should feel ashame you have to spam just to get traffic to your site.
I completely agree about both bugfixing and documentation. That said, bugfixing someone else's crap code still sucks.
When I joined the company I am with right now, I wanted to jump into the codebase and start working on something, the way I get myself familiar with a codebase is reading the code, but it has to have a goal. I have to understand a piece of the code to use it (API with bad documentation), or because I need to fix a bug or add a feature.

I started working on the bugs by choice, it was an easier way to familiarise myself with the source code and gave me some problems that the other developers hadn't been able to fix, or hadn't gotten to yet.
Excellent answer. Companies need capital and product and customers. Figure out which ones the rest of your team aren't bringing and bring it.

John "Claim Chowder" Gruber, could learn a thing or two from Mr Dixon.
I don't know what is that website but it took 35 seconds to have a DOM on a 50Mbps connection.

I might prefer Youtube-nocookie.
Why not raise awareness about webmaster practices among the general public?
Sounds like someone reeeeeallly good at nudging envelopes and writing grant proposals. Will be mostly forgotten a couple hundred years from now. Academic playwrights thought Shakespeare was a joke in his day.
That was burglaries that the stats said from the article.

Your data is interesting but it also shows crime is trending down if dates are limited to 2017-2019, which the data you presented only goes to 2010 so doesnt really show long term trends either
That sounds like white hat hacking from all I've heard of Comcast...

Maybe that's how we drive their customer count and revenue down and put them out of business.
One of the alumni companies was PagerDuty, who went on to get YC funding in the last (YC S10) class.

This js simply binds an "KeyDown" event listener to the document. There are no actual input fields so an iOS device.. that's why you don't get a keyboard.
well... we did go back to New Mexico, Utah and the other desert states...
Author of backbone.js and underscore.js as well.
A writer is allowed to use words and common concepts in new and interesting ways - this is how new words and meanings get created. jmtame makes a good case for "Startups Open Sourced." He is providing insight into what the start up process is like. This book serves to "open source" the knowledge of starting a company, not the content.

I like the title; it's creative.
Maybe, but being right once doesn't mean they're never wrong again. It's hard for me to see how Google wouldn't have been better off buying Skype and integrating it into GMail. Easier said than done for sure but a hell of a lot easier than getting Skype users to switch to Google Voice. Also, last I checked Google Docs still wants to save things as files. I guess Pichai never had to at least prove his idea correct and justify his decision. Maybe these guys are good product managers but they seem to be pretty bad at strategy. The point I'm making is that they don't seem to have been held accountable.

Norway has oil and a huge sovereign wealth fund, compared to certain countries that import lots of oil and have lots of debt.

See page 5 where they are listed as the least risky sovereign debt in the world (USA still #5, although the people who suggest not raising the debt ceiling are trying to change that)

p.s. The article imagines China dumping their $3T in US dollars; that would be a real surprise; it would cause more strain on the RMB-USD rates, and boost US exports.
Study of German was mandatory for undergraduate chemists intending to do postgraduate work at University of St. Andrews in the 1960s. Not sure about other institutions.
Banks generally don't pay 4%. Stock market returns and capital isn't protected. Though I am sure 4% can be achieved for little risk...
Bullshit.

I used to be on one of the biggest drug dealers on my side of the city and I now make iPhone apps (among other ventures).

I worked my way up to selling about 2 kilos of crack a week, starting from "20-pieces" (little rocks that weight 0.2 grams, sold for $20).

I'm definitely not proud of myself for doing so, but those few years have taught a me a lot about running a business (including money management, cultivating relationships, "hiring" personnel, and the economics of supply and demand) and gave me much of my entrepreneurial spirit.
I moved from the remote desert southwest to the south bay area/Silicon Valley area and was very surprised to see that making U-turns at major intersections was not only permitted but were announced with signs indicating such.

I still don't make U-turns, though.

So NUTS is not so crazy.

Agreed & flagged - although I do find it interesting, I feel that Metafilter or a political forum is more appropriate for such material.
"I wish there were more like it!"

Me too. having read TECS and gotten through it despite setbacks it's given me the confidence to feel like I can
develop a more comprehensive understanding of specific areas
of CS as long as I have a good course to follow. 2 other books interest me because they have accompanying software. One is the Tannenbaum/Minix combo and the other is Jeanna Matthews book Computer Networking which also has supporting software. I recently got the latter but I haven't started it yet. It has good reviews on Amazon so I'm hoping for another TECS experience! The Tannenbaum book has more mixed reviews and it is a bit pricey so I'm holding off on that for awhile
That was my first thought as well.

Actually my first thought was: In the other consecutive weeks, the system lost its shirt and jumped out the window.... twice.
