I kind of assumed everyone would know how the underlying page-rank algorithm works.

Put people on pages at random, and have them click on an outgoing link at random. Then, 20% of the time, teleport them to a new, random page. What is their distribution in the long run?

The higher the number, the more likely you are to end up there. This means you have more incoming links, but they are incoming links from pages with higher rankings. Incoming links from lower ranked pages - pages with few incoming links - don't give you much "Google Juice".

I'm curious, do people really not know this? Should I write it up? It's a standard piece of linear algebra to find the eigenvector of the appropriate matrix. I thought pretty much everyone would know it.
"But regardless of the tools, truly quality blog posts take time and effort to plan out, research and write."

What's interesting is that the blog posts that are the most successful on HN and other social news sites seem to be the ones that take around 8 hours to write, plus or minus two. If one spends 30 hours writing a blog post then it's generally as unsuccessful as if one spent only three hours writing it. There are definitely exceptions, like I'd bet Fred Wilson writes most of his posts in only a couple hours, but for the most part this rule seems to hold well.
When did YC start? I'm pretty sure they've been funding ideas for a few years now. I think one of them turned out to be Reddit.
Color me a little disappointed that this article wasn't about the fact that GitHub's roaring success has watered down everyone's enthusiasm for git's decentralized model. People keep asking you to use GitHub, in part, because they aren't setting up their own git servers, although they could - and one could argue that the future's a little safer with people keeping a bit of control.
IIRC id's first game on iOS was Wolfenstein 3D which originally cost $9.99 when I bought it. They are probably aiming for the left-hand side of the price / demand curve for Rage to gain new fans, where Wolf3D was targetted at people who already were fans.
Caffeine in general, I feel, may be a cause of "fake work." I quit last week and this week have found my mind much more full of thought, calmer, the days last longer, and I feel more passionate about things.
Just print this http://www.viemu.com/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif out and stick it to your side board.
They've got no business using Facebook to conduct business in the first place. Besides, their chat and message tools are terrible. If Facebook disallows it in their TOS and it's widely known, then don't do it, especially for business.
They also paid for a lot of these ports. Many iPhone devs have mentioned Microsoft approaching them with money and help to get them to port to phone7.
Some developers used to backdoor around this by passing data via the photo roll

I've never heard of an app that did that. Can you name some?
Maybe but I think this kind of thing actually turns on having an ear for which way the whole discussion is going.
Actually, it does mean that.

If you write out the truth table, A -> B is equivalent to
~A \/ B, which means ~B -> ~A. This is called the contrapositive and is a valid inference. The two classical invalid inferences from A -> B are ~A -> ~B (the inverse) and B -> A (the converse).
Ah, that's another possibility. I will ask her. Thanks for the suggestion.
It has to be something they can't see, or they'll counteract it, possibly by shooting you as the other commenter said.
I could see this going terribly wrong with the cult of personality that people are able to cultivate organically being so massive compared to the past.

As I'm typing this out though I realize that there's no difference between individuals wielding that type of influence over people, and the existing power structures who are doing the exact same thing for their own benefit right now.
Worth noting that earlier this year US imports of Saudi Oil hit zero. Granted it was just for one week but certainly reflective of the broader trend.

I just got my copy off the shelf & will have to re-read it. Is there a production available online that someone would recommend?
I dunno, I’ve also used both, and I keep coming back to the Vim/gn way of doing it, I just like it more. I see how people can feel otherwise, though.
I'd say he broke his own game of investing, rather than the game in general.

Given what he thinks he understand there's not enough opportunities to allocate this amount of capital.

I guess that's why he hired the two new managers. By the way they did come up with some of the best ideas in recent years like Apple and Snowflake.
Awesome, that's definitely something I'll add to my bag of tricks. But

> This replaces, like, 97% of uses of :s and is a much more convenient way to do search/replace, especially if you use * to search for the word under the cursor. It’s the bee’s knees!

I'm not really sure about that. I can definitely see it replacing :s for a small number of repetitions, but for a large number. I think using :s with a range is quicker.

Edit: typos, punctuation
Ted Cruz claimed it was his children's fault for pressuring him into their trip, e.g. there is no lacking in incompetence and integrity in many systems, organizations, companies, communities, families. It starts with the individual which requires someone caring about how they look, about accountability, chain of command/responsibility.

How do we solve this though? Who is the CEO responsible to - who do they care, if anyone, about how they appear to? How do we shift this behaviour for the examples of CEOs and politicians who maybe haven't been outed yet by such a security breach but are vulnerable to such lacking of a rigid structure of command/responsibility?

Edit to add: I'm beginning to think HN is full of really lazy people.
Could not agree more. I also maintain the unpopular opinion that speculatory colorization of black and white historical imagery is also doing damage to the accuracy of the general historical canon.
What about someone growing into the role of CTO? I run a tiny company (single-digit number of workers) & am de-facto the only "boss"/executive so I guess you can say I'm the CEO (I'm also an individual contributor - as I said, tiny).

But I still need to sometimes also do what a CTO would do in a bigger company, and if things go well and the company grows I may need to incrementally learn more and more of the themes above (up to the point where I hire a CTO to replace me in that role I guess).
And even those Korean phones and tablets are probably built in the Kaesong Industrial Region, more or less directly helping North Korea.
I want to work in as much different countries as I possible can. Best case scenario: 12 countries (or locations) in 12 months. I want to see how companies and people work outside of Germany and gain the best possible insights, while helping as good as I can with my skills. The end result might be a book or “just” a blog. So, if anyone of you knows a neat company or agency, which might be able to help with that idea, tell me. ;)
The page doesn't load, it's stuck on the progress bar.
My plans for 2015 are to make progress in areas where I have a foundation and want to move along further.

1. Write and self-publish 2 novels to launch a series. I've self-published a few things, ready to move into it more seriously.

2. Become competent with lisp. Fooled around with it in the past, but I'd like to know what I'm doing.

3. Become competent with deep learning / neural networks. Another place where I know the basics, but would like some proficiency.

4. Gain enough fitness to get back into backpacking. Something I used to do a lot, but over the last several years I've been very, very lazy. Long way to go on this one. I'm wasting living in California.

5. Work on a few different micro-documentary projects using things like Vine. I've had some ideas about this, need to put them into practice.
This sounds a lot like the stories I have heard coming from ASML. Especially the part of people with a PhD in engineering writing code.
So does it make sense for people to spend more time indoors?
China IS doing something about industrial espionage: they're supporting and encouraging it. This isn't dissimilar from what all the Western economies did with industrial espionage during the 1800's. In Rhode Island, we have the first mill in the US, known as Slater Mill, which was created by an industrial spy who stole secrets from England. The English were ahead in industry for textiles, coal mining, steam engines, steel, railroads, and all the other Europeans and Americans sent spies there to "tour" the factories or "apprentice" only to disappear just in time.

So, we shouldn't forget history and be shocked that the US is having its economic secrets stolen, as that's happened numerous times in the past.
I thought this article was about "building a language server" like the title says, but this is really just a grammar set for an existing language server.. unless I'm missing something? I realize that this is being picky about wording, but it's a little misleading.
That's a very religious point of view. We are the problem, but only in that we're THE apex predator and we can't seem to figure out a way to control our worst consumption impulses.

One thing that struck me about a childhood visit to "St. Marie amongst the Hurons"[1] was that the Hurons would "use up" a place and simply abandon their longhouses and maize fields and move to a place with better hunting. Sometimes they would return a few years later to that same place after the prey populations had a chance to recover.

The echos of this world view is what freaks me out about people like Musk saying we need to get off Earth.

Pretty sure you'd need at least MOAB to damage a nuclear unit so that it'd become a level 6+ accident. These things are designed to withstand a jet crash.
Draw all the free body diagrams you want, barring massive disparities in size, obscene inclines or crazy tow rope angles (i.e. "in any reasonably even competition") the vehicle with the better tires will win every single time.
It has an image of a chicken, which should help.
I’m sure there are occasions where it makes a ton of sense, and React, especially for large or complex web applications, is amazing.

But for a static site generator, it’s like someone sat down to develop the most convoluted way of getting a bit of html on the screen. Bonus points for the resulting site not working at all without JavaScript.
Not just a account, youtube requires a age of 13+ (in US) to be used at all as far as I know. This normally would have safely removed any legal problems as a parent allowing the child (<13) to use youtube (on their account, without account) would be a violation of the AGB's like a parent allowing a child to play a 18+ game can't sue the game for being violent or similar (i.e. it's parental negligence).

The problem as far as I have heard was that youtube realized that there are a lot of to young (<13y) people on youtube and that they can be targeted advertised (implicitly, in a way which just "happens to" target kids "accidentally"), and then they where so stupid as to advertise that when getting in contact with advertisers. So in a certain way they screwed them self over, or more precise they screwed part of the content creators over.

The problem with the FTC requiring content producers for youtube (13+) to label videos as "for kids" is that with the FTC rules a lot of videos which are not meant for kids and are never supposed to be delivered to kids now fall under this label and lose targeted advertisement money, which can be there major income.

E.g. there are a bunch of channels doing LEGO reviews for _adults_ (because surprise there are a lot of young adults which started to like LEGO again, parents and also that cray people thinking it's a good money investment). Now because they do LEGO reviews they will have to label this as a kids thing, even through the amount of kids on their channels is less then 2%.... Or basically any easy to understand since video gets practically demonetized, because it's naturally interesting for 12y olds and has nice animations etc. This videos are fine to be seen by kids, but the producers would prefer kids to be excluded as they need to earn money to at least cover production cost.

Also because officially there are not <13y old kids on YT it means YT can't just "not track" the kids but everyone else.

Also we should not forget that there is YT for kids, so if you produce (good) content targeted at kids this is where you should go.

So it's a pretty messed up situation. If you now consider who has very large influence over the FTC and who either hates the modern internet which made people stop watching classical cable, or would like to additional bill YT (more?) etc. it's doesn't seem likely to resolve in a reasonable way, at last I would be surprised. But then I have been surprised before so let's hope it ends not to bad.
Ok, why don't you tell us what you think? No one is going to attack your home.
I would trade my privacy for better functionality and/or performance any day.
>But when media organizations peddling outright lies are allowed to call it "news", and are treated as being just as valid as genuine journalistic organizations

Where are these "genuine journalistic organizations" defined except in our own minds?

There is no journalist licence. There is no license to publish. You have a printer, and someone to buy what you print out? Congratulations! You're a journalist! In the U.S. anyway.
An IED was just discovered, these are not protests, this is insurrection and sedition.

EDIT: fixed time.
The article touches a bit on this in terms of "proto-personas" and suggests an alternative method (assumption maps). To me, there's a point that you can build products from assumptions. You'd be trading risk (less validation) for speed and perhaps focus, which isn't inherently wrong. But most importantly you shouldn't pretend it's unbiased, user-driven, or that there aren't blindspots. And you shouldn't use personas as the tool of choice in that case. The distinction is rarely made though and problematic.
Use terminal art like Dwarf Fortress. They'll probably never be mainstream, but games using terminal art are an old and honorable tradition.
If you look at the network traffic it's very odd -- not only are the formulas being evaluated on the server, the server is shipping back DOM strings, not values. So it appears they are doing rendering on the server as well as calculation.
Those are definitely two of my favorites. Funnily enough, a few days ago there was a discussion about the most memorable space ships. Mine was "Yggdrasil" :).
Just wondering, do you think the general acceptance/feedback would be different if you didn't wait so long?

When I found this, I immediately appreciated it and joined. It's been wonderful.
I'm aiming for no JS, so the visual clues sound OK. There's two obvious fieldsets, so I'll try something with an arrow leading you from one, to the other, then to the submit button. Thanks!
The purpose was for people/companies to share what they trying to do in 3 words or less, we thought it would be fun if we limit the posts to 3 words - in return members/companies would get crowd sourced feedback from other members.

Thanks for pointing XSS / SQL injection, working around this now.

As you have probably gathered, Queensrÿche are one of my favorite bands, and O:M is one of my all-time favorite albums.
First thing to think of is this: Why do you need the submit button to be in another column at the top?

Put the submit button on the bottom, after the last form field. That's where people expect it to be.

Forms for checkout experiences are not the place to do radical things with user interfaces...
So.. what opportunity are they missing? The opportunity to get less money from their customers? Doesn't sound like much of an opportunity to me.
Serious question: Do any of you use Avant Window Navigator? How does Unity compare with it?

I absolutely love reading articles like this that are grounded in reality where the point of the app is to actually make money. The fact that you are making any money at all brings value to what you have to say that all of us can learn from. I think most entrepreneurs will agree that it is that first sale that is the hardest part. I look forward to your next article!
You may want to look at the guidelines again. The relevant one in this case is "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3.""
Two weeks seems fair. Long enough to get familiar with the system, but short enough to make it inconvenient to keep signing up for free trial periods repeatedly with different twitter accounts they can keep making up.

FWIW, Basecamp offers a 30 day free trial for their services.
This EC2 outage only affects on single AWS region. This is exactly why AWS provides multiple regions and availability zones. The sites on that page should have taken advantage of these features. Don't put all your eggs in one basket (cloud).
It's pretty easy to assert that all software patents are "ridiculous". Math is generally held to be unpatentable after all.
That’s not what the article says. It says that AGPS devices are just like GPS devices. The only difference is that they use additional information to improve startup times.

Assistance is described as something that’s entirely optional. Why do you think that’s not the case? I googled around for a bit and it seems as though every source I can find tells me that AGPS is just like GPS if you have no data connection.
It has always been better for me (not quitting my job) because I am more confident when I know I have a job to fall back on.
This generator has even better systemd integration: https://github.com/containers/quadlet
There’s no way that natural selection selected for this, simply because, well, after you die you won’t have offspring to inherit it.

It is just a side effect of some other mechanism that likely has a use during our lifetime.
> The final section explores whether NDE and DMT experiences have a sufficient degree of phenomenological similarity to justify a causal role for DMT in the production of NDEs and concludes that such similarity is lacking.

From me reading the abstract, doesn't seem like it. But I haven't read the paper, and don't know what "phenomenological similarity" is either.

It would be cool to think that we could trick our brains to do that on demand, without having to experience a near death situation!

I can already imagine the headlines, "Shamans hate him! Learn this one trick how you can too..."
I mean 35-40 and older, not the retirement age.
90% of my friends in this age have gone offline or keep their old blogs for posting. They may keep the accounts or even read some stuff sometimes, but social networks of 2010s are dead for them.
This is in Europe though, maybe in other parts of the world it is different.
They can (and usually should) exist in a single module. Each compiled artifact will link in only the dependencies it requires, not all of the dependencies of the parent module.
Thanks for this.

That early stage biweekly split of focus between coding and marketing makes a lot of sense.

As to the first hire (and the delegation of duties that follows), it would be interesting to hear the different experiences of coding-strong founders delegating the marketing function, versus marketing-strong founders delegating the coding function.

For example, as a coding-strong founder, I find the idea of delegating the marketing function easy to digest, whereas the idea of delegating the coding scares me a little! ^_^

Fundamentally I understand that “letting go” is a critical component to successful delegation.

Wish I could read some honest biographies of solo founders and their experience with this hurdle.
I am of two minds about Intel. Lately they have been producing some fairly interesting products. But at the same time they have a virtual stranglehold on the x86 ISA.
Actually, CFRG's doing a consensus call to adopt a rough draft from agl containing Curve25519 as an RG document right now - and I feel fairly comfy saying we seem to have good consensus and running code for X25519 (the Montgomery-x key exchange over the curve known as Curve25519, introduced in that paper). Implementers are already pushing ahead. I wouldn't think the TLS group or anyone else needs to delay that work any longer - it's been quite long enough already in my opinion.

Not quite so sure about signatures, but that's more a PKIX WG problem with more (CA-style) inertia behind it, so that won't move very quickly no matter what. The chairs want to resolve signatures after the curve and key exchange algorithm, which the TLS WG participants seem to want sorted out first.
Why double tax? By whom?
Thankfully, drugs should be a means of last resort; most people should be able to make do with some lifestyle changes / tweaks.
What does this actually say? The site is blocked to those of us outside of the US, probably because the website owners can't be bothered to comply with GDPR?
I think if it wasn't installed by default, new users would be better served going through the Raspberry Pi OS "Recommended Software" program that can be found in the main menu. Your command won't help them.

> “Just eat healthy,” is the ignorant remark of someone blessed with good genetics.

Yeah it's like the mentally healthy telling the depressed to cheer up. It's not that simple.
Participating in peer to peer networks and hosting from home to start. Pretty much anything that involves talking directly to other humans instead of having to go through a corporation requires having an internet routable address and ports.

It'd be great if ipv6 were adopted, but it isn't. Only having an ipv6 address effectively cuts you off from 99% of the internet. All that's left is big corporate websites.
Indeed it was. I once had occasion to study a 1930s paper on the mathematics of population growth by R.A. Fisher, it gave me no pleasure to leaf through the "Annals of Eugenics" to find it.

But we have an essential difference I think between the genocide that China stands accused of, which you yourself see as a "temporally relative evil" (yes the US did it, but it was a while ago), and the genocide of the German attempt to destroy European Jewry (which was also a while ago) that I think we would all agree is an "absolute evil". So perhaps the Economist have a point here.
Thanks for sharing more recent albums. As much as I love the 'classics', I believe that an essential part of the jazz tradition is the ongoing exploration of new artists and new directions.
