There were 2 reasons I did this; first of all the 'social' aspect:

You can easily unfollow someone when you don't like what they're tweeting through Twitter. But, what if you want to 'tell' that person that what they're tweeting just isn't that interesting without having to tell them yourself? Then you'd use Unsocialize This :)

Secondly; on the technical side:
I setup a Linode with nginx and php-fpm, which was incredibly easy but I had never done before.
Played around with the Twitter API and some JS.

And, of course, it's for fun.
It is running slow. YC is doing interviews this week, so PG/RTM are probably chatting to noob founders instead of looking at HN server stats.
I work on Wall St (but not at the Goldman Sachs). The cartoon is very funny (and will be spreading quickly here too), in the same way Sarah Palin is funny. Good thing no one will take it seriously - oh, wait...
Yeah. I wish people would use UDP instead of misusing TCP.

Yes, the three-way-handshake involves an extra round-trip. Yes, ACKs introduce latency. So don't use TCP. :)
With regards to your first "crime":
How was that a murder? The unit on the ground received RPG fire, and the person was holding a large object and pointing at ground forces. What do you think is going to happen? For them to come down out of the helicopter and ask for the press pass? When you say murder you imply that the service men had the intent to kill some journalist. When in reality they thought they had weapons pointed at a previously attacked ground force, and had the helicopter crew asked permission to engage and protect the ground force.

In the first "crime"... No crime was committed nor was anyone ever convicted. It was a tragic result, but not one that the reporters could have mitigated the risk.
They're still treating it like a PR problem instead of an engineering/management one. They cant just fire a few people or run some newspaper ads to make the plane safe. The entire world is watching and will not be satisfied unless they actually make it safe.
I doubt there is any significant crunch coming from just encoding/decoding the stream. Most of the time comes still from waiting for network resources, and evaling megabytes of add-in JS. Now the same problem applies to JS, and the counter argument for openness and usability are still the same. Compressed transmission and binary parallel transmission in HTTP/2 are also helping with the comms size.

The project still seems cool, I'll have to have a deeper look into it soon
Teachers are not feeding kids in statistically significant volumes. Schools are, and there might be correlations.
For those who didn't get the reference:

The OP is quoting Tyler Durden, a fictional character of the movie 'fight club'. So take it with a grain of salt.
Multinational companies should be the exception, not the rule. “Designed by Apple in California”; will Apple ever stop being a U.S. company? Why would “apple.us” not be appropriate?

A company is an entirely legal construction, and, as such, is entirely bound to the laws of a certain country.
There is more to it. In the past, I was a all-day VS User (C++ most of the time, but even Python. Today I prefer Wing IDE for this (and sometimes VS Code)).
While conditional breakpoints can be very useful, they often are not (especially because they slow down the code - hitting a variable value after 20000 iterations in a heavy-loaded loop as an example). It follows, for most developers syntax doesnt sink in. At least in the past, documentation was too far away. These things have to be literally at your finger tips. Don't know about the situation nowadays, though.
I've never heard the term "personality" used with respect to z/OS before, it certainly isn't standard terminology. (It is standard terminology with respect to the original design of Windows NT, and IBM's abortive Workplace OS, but z/OS has little in common with either.)

And strictly speaking, z/OS as a whole is a certified UNIX. Look at the registration certificate [1], it never mentions UNIX System Services. Obviously without that component z/OS would fail to pass the certification tests, but the certification is for the operating system as a whole not just that component of it.

The efficient market hypothesis states the value of a stock is the expected future dividends given all public information (or all private information, if you prefer the strong form).

This is a good example of how academic economics think because on the one hand it is consistent with your claim that "you'd have to take into account everything that goes through the minds of the entire world population" and on the other hand it "ignores the human factor" in that the efficient market hypothesis assumes that emotion, mass psychology, etc. don't enter into stock markets.

I think economists actually ignore the "human factor" in the right way, in order to get some reasonable approximation of reality. The problem is that adding the human factor back in doesn't result in a mathematically elegant theory, just a more complicated model. So they are unable to progress in the same way as physics can.
Please don't do this here.

The arrogance of people outside the industry saying that a many-billion-dollar market is "not effective" is... kinda ludicrous on here.

If you don't think it's right for them to exist, I'm not challenging that viewpoint at all. But coming in and assuming, with minimal to no research, that thousand of people and billions of dollars are pouring into complicated products which don't actually do anything, is a bit of an anti-vaxxer approach to the world.
Nice! And it's a basically a pigeonhole principle argument.
It's an interesting hypothesis. But it seems contradicted by Mendelian randomization studies, which find that LDL cholesterol levels to be causally associated with heart disease.

You practically cannot make a citizen's arrest against a police officer in the states.

Also, you need more than having passed the academy to become an officer of the law that can make standard, non-citizen's arrests.
This is pretty clearly a more accurate "xml-ification" of a bunch of points. X/Y are un-ordered attributes of a point, not part of an ordered list of things contained within a point.
It's terribly insulting. Especially to the target "protected" groups.

I would have thought that we would have realized that racist (and any other "group"-ist) selection policies are ridiculous and would have rejected them by now. At least by people who have a basic understanding of how group statistics apply to individuals...

But no. The "woke" madness is doubling down, and dialling the madness up to 11.
With the standard, classic result: "poorly".
You don't have to live in a 3rd world country to get 2 mbps. Plenty of places in the US get that kind of speed, where the only non-wireless ISP is liable to be the phone company providing DSL straight out of the 90s.
Yes, if a thread is gaining posts too quickly, HN will suppress reply buttons to try and prevent people from making hasty/not well thought out posts.

FTFY.
Never said you can downvote a reply, but this gives more privileges to the silent downvoters as they keep downvoting and waiting others do the work and keep downvoting. I know this as in most cases, my unpopular comments get the same negative score (well, usually having -4, to be fair). I've seen some cowards who delete their comments when they start getting downvotes, which breaks the discussion as well and makes the replies out-of-context.

How can a -4 comment be "noise" if there are tons of replies? I often have a root comment with -4 and then tens and at times hundreds of comments underneath?
Thanking you kindly :)
maybe it would be good to have some sort of (general) index of compatibility for consumer products. A one-number thing. "how likely this product is to lock you out of something good".

If this information is valuable (and I think it is!) even small fluctuations on the index could push a given product up.
History says that despite the fact that these "wrongs" have taken place, that people largely do not care. So, what does it mean to be "wrong"? Likewise, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there...does it really matter?

I could also argue that Linux is generally holding the world back. Just like wrong and right...this whole thing is a matter of opinion and point of view. There are simply no absolutes to measure against.
Well, there is a reason: consistency. ;)

I hate seeing "==" in code because it's rarely clear whether the programmer intends it to coerce or just didn't bother with the third keystroke. So "===" is just enforced everywhere through jshint.
long live the Fresh Prince

I see your CIA Torture and raise you Middle Age Torture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_sawing

The world is a better place today than it was back then. Even in the 1900s, US Internment camps of the Japanese was clearly unnecessary racism designed to build propaganda for the war effort.

Oh yeah, and the historial norm of selling your prisoners of war as slaves. The great powers selling slaves (ie: Britian, US, India, Russia, etc. etc.) kind of isn't a thing anymore.

Minor powers condone sex trafficking, but it isn't anywhere near as bad as as it used to be. The greater powers in the world today police the minor powers and discourage the behavior.

---------------

Sure, if you ignore the CIA torture, the NSA mass-surveillance, the US drone strikes

I raise you the invention of the Gatling Gun, and the use of the Gatling gun against Zulu spearmen during the British conquest of South Africa.

Casualties in British conquest frequently numbered in the dozens of thousands per battle. We are far more careful and precise with our modern weapons than previous powers were.

Mind you, the US also used gatling guns and rifles to wipe out Native Americans in our conquest through manifest destiny. I'd take our modern "defensive conflicts" any day over our blatantly unfair policies of the 1800s and early 1900s.

the protests in the US and Turkey

Protests? You do realize that protests in the 1800s and early 1900s were met with the sword. We have protests today because we care about free speech and have stopped slaughtering civilians.

I'll take modern protests any day over the historical norm of killing the protesters.

the Islamists in the Middle East

Research the "Great Game" period please. Afghanistan has always been a hellhole, at least since the 1800s. The 8000+ Soldiers and 13,000+ civilians who died retreating to India (through Afghanistan) is proof of that.

Complete and total wipeout. There was a single British survivor in a major event during the Anglo-Afghan War in 1842.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1842_retreat_from_Kabul

the NATO/Russia stand-off in Ukraine

Erm... Spanish American War. Great Game. Japanese Russio war. Genocide literally happened every 10 to 20 years throughout the 1800s.

Yeah, Russia stand-off in Ukraine is soft stuff. It is par-for-the-course for Cold War era politics, which is still far safer than historical norms.

the lukewarm handling of the Ebola epidemic,

Modern Medicine was only invented for the past 150 years yo. Before that, people just died. The fact is, we can actually do something about the Ebola epidemic.
Thanks WA. Autocorrect can still bite you!

I agree that it is tough to compete with twitter. They have money and a huge reach. Periscope will probably get some advantage when it comes to integration with Twitter.

But there are also downsides to being tied to twitter. For example, I don't expect Periscope to every integrate with Facebook or any other competing platform. Upclose already works with Facebook.

I'm not trying to say that this is going to be easy. I'm just saying that don't count us out yet.
I really wish I could remember who said it, but it always comes to mind when I read a story like this. "He who stands against the law shall die, for the law is god." [That should probably be an upper-case "G".]

Essentially that is this man's crime. From a judge's perspective, he didn't really say that the law in question was invalid or that he was unjustly persecuted, but that the authority of law was invalid. From the judge's seat he might as well have been a murder arguing that murder was OK by killing someone in the courtroom. In the end, that is the single greatest crime that anyone can commit.

Someone with a little more common sense would have gone to a higher court and argued that he wasn't allowed a court reporter, an act that contradicted the entire point of his argument.
Then do not write code like this.
Segregation laws are by nature nonrandom. It doesn't seem very apt of an analogy to me. You're right about the fact that people might react differently when they know they are being singled out, though.
With the context given as High Middle Ages, "those who fight" primarily as in knights, with ideas around chivalry etc having strongly developed by then, and at least the "proper" knights being landed etc.
Are you sure Amazon, Google and Microsoft don't have this competitive stack because they don't want to enter that market or are in that market solely for themselves? Storage may be a multi-billion dollar market - but it's also razor thin margin compared to where those brands focus their R&D spend. I'd argue those you've named don't have interest selling storage to the enterprise in the form of legacy boxes. They make far more revenue leasing storage to the enterprise. Cloud storage is also recurring revenue where enterprise storage is considered perpetual. The latter is generally frowned upon from the Street's perspective these days (good, bad or otherwise).
I found pocketsphinx pretty easy to work with. I use it for command voice recognition for home automation stuff. It's even pretty accurate when using limited vocabulary models, after some tweaking. There are python bindings, though they lag behind the C api slightly, and even the C api is well-commented and the code is clean.
I lurk on #haskell-beginners, and things seem friendly there.
It's kinda BS that cops and agents are required to know the law. It wouldn't be so much BS if you were compensated and had job security in the event that the state lied or was wrong like in germany.
A startup I worked for had a bug in their supplier portal where every so often someone would be logged in and suddenly find themselves logged in as a different user.

The problem was difficult to track down because it tended to disappear for a while and then come back.

The code in question eventually turned out to be 204 responses from some of the Ajax requests. Rather than initialise these each time it was saved in a global variable. However, it was possible somewhere in the authentication middleware for a session token to be attached to the stored response.

I only really found it by tallying the places where it seemed to happen most often with some curl scripts which hit one of those end points and waiting for the session to be set in the response.
Also, the colon in python's syntax is one of its most important and often disregarded features. It gives such a simple and efficient cue that a new block is.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I interpret you as saying "they wanted to preserve gameplay over a potentially more interesting business model, and that's a bad thing".

Maybe you're not a gamer, so that makes it harder to imagine. But games like Farmville aren't on the same level as something like Ultima Online. It's like comparing a fast food chain to an authentic French restaurant. Nobody will blame the restaurant that they're using a different model.
From an UI perspective I really hate the ads in angry birds on android: the advertised products are never interesting and the ad is placed in a way that it can be accidentally tapped during gameplay (happened to me multiple times).

I would GLADLY pay to get the ads to go away. Maybe they should add a premium, ad-free, version
I hate to blaspheme Dijkstra, but I've never quite agreed with that quote. I suspect it's used out of context. Many subfields of computer science deal directly with making physical computers better: faster, more responsive, etc. I'm thinking of things like virtual memory systems, page replacement algorithms, multiprocessing, interrupts, driver abstraction, networking—basically everything you learn in the OS Theory course in a CS program.

Sure, all these things can be modeled "on paper" as a mathematical abstraction, and a human with a list of rules, a pencil, and a roll of paper can compute anything an Intel cpu can, but it's hard to ignore the fact that digital computers do the vast majority of the computation which CS is concerned with studying.

You don't have to know much about astronomy to make or improve a telescope. You have to know a lot about computer science to make or improve a computer.
Where normally does a couchapp put its application/business logic? At client side javascript?

The tagline seems quite negative:

"Linus made Git for himself. Gitbox brings Git to everyone."

Without Linus' free creation this app wouldn't exist at all.
Indeed. I don't think people were ready for that model in 1997.
I don't agree. As already point, many philosophers, scientists, programmers have been bitter people, largely unhappy with life.

Some people are bitter by design. No matter what I do, I will always have many complains to be unhappy about. Right now, I am trying to boot-up my startup. If it doesn't work, I will be bitter. If it works out, I will be bitter about my other pet peeve - schools killing creativity and I would like to contribute towards making it better. If it too is sorted out, I would be bitter about people being bitter about each other owing to religious, regional or some other non-rational biases. I am bitter about Government corruption and lack of infrastructure in my country. I am bitter about common man's rights not implemented in spirit. I am bitter about morons dividing people on religion and reason, and worse, people listening to them.

All of these isn't going to change(some might) in my lifetime. And the only way to be happy about it is to turn a blind eye. If happiness is ignorance, I don't seek it.

This would be blatant generalization, but many happy people I have met are blissfully ignorant. They have accepted life as is, and are happy with the current state of thing.

I generally listen to all advice, and ignore most of it - the adviser being happy or not doesn't figure in my criteria.
I always wonder why Qt5+/Qml/QtQuick have not taken the XP desktop development by storm. QML is JS like, there's an IDE and KDE seems to have built lot of good looking desktop software using Kirigami/QtQuick.

It's got to be better than anything Electron for sure.

Anyone know if .NET Core Qt bindings are a technical possibility?
I developed a game with sqlite on the backend, during development sqlite took everything I threw at it.

I planed to switch to mysql for production but when I benchmarked sqlite it was able to do ~10,000 query's a second (iirc) way more than I needed so I figured I would try it in production.

This was a mistake sqlite quickly died in production because of the amount of concurrent queries. During development it was just one processes using the database so locking wasn't a thing, but when more than one process was trying to use the same database waiting on locks slowed the whole thing to a stand still.

I think its possible to write a client server protocol for sqlite with proper locks that performs as well as mysql, but it was easier to just use mysql :)
>They want the "theater" of security, the good feeling, the box to check on their resume (as management) so everyone can pretend everything is fine and go back to the business at hand.

And don't forget the universal elixir that cures all security ills: adding even more rules about which passwords are allowed.

Summary: schools are rewarding teachers based on "value-added measures" that try to measure the effect of the teacher on the student's educational progress. The paper shows that these models are mostly picking up unrelated differences between student populations, by showing that the same approach would reward teachers for having taller students.
Blocking javascript also seems to work, but only the first image will be shown.
I think what "has not been retouched or post-processed in any way" is supposed to convey is that no work is needed by the user of the camera app to get pictures of this quality. There's lots of in-camera processing of course. That's always been the case for digital cameras: sensors don't produce jpeg files.
While it would be nice to load some post-processing script onto the camera and get all that done by the camera without having to bother with it yourself, all that processing will cost battery life, as well as response time. Having to charge your DSLR every day is a huge cost in convenience, and making a dedicated imaging machine unresponsive would be terrible.

Additionally, you are always going to move your pictures out of the camera for proper viewing, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to provide the best possible picture already in the camera.

I don't know if the software they bundle with the camera is any good at this computational photography though (I've never checked to see if there are linux versions), but it better be if it indeed helps image quality.
No, it sounds like it needs the kernel not to corrupt the value. There is nothing wrong with leaving the value in the register.
a) "drown the fish" does not mean what you think it does, and if anything means the opposite of what you think it does

b) Don't flatter your "discussion", you're claiming a person who: was successful before a sex-tape and had their most well known success already in motion before a sex-tape, I'd venture has had more success after said sex-tape than anyone else who's ever had one... should be known for a sex-tape.

There's no positive interpretation of that, I just chose the most common one I've encountered. Maybe you're just an avid enjoyer of her tape and can't see her for more than that?
