If the kid would alternate which training wheel is touching, then that would work. But once a side is picked they seem to center their balance between the back wheel and the one training wheel. I started off just barely raising it, and every couple weeks would adjust it another quarter inch or less. eventually they picked a side to lean and stayed with it.

That is where I was hoping to find spring loaded training wheels so that it forces the kid to constantly try to balance. Start off with really stiff springs and then weaken them over time.
I don't understand the point of your comment if you admit that Covid is much worse than the seasonal flu. We don't shut life down over the season flu, but we might for a much more dangerous disease. That's the whole point.
At least when it comes to poetry, in a perfect case you'd have a totally fluent bilingual translator who also happens to be a poet. That's not very common (David Hinton[1] comes to mind) but far more often you either have a language scholar with a tin ear, or a poet who's faking a knowledge of the source material. That latter case can make for some good poetry, but it won't be an 'accurate' translation for sure.

Hi Ivan, nice to see you here! Haven't gotten back to my math, but did improve in programming ;-)

The struggle to get better at math and find time + motivation for it is real.

I'm the high school textbook guy, if that rings any bells.
We all suffer from character blindness of some sort. For you: ` - that thing isn't formally defined in English either as far as I know.

In English we don't have any diacritics. We do have a few extra symbols, beyond the alphabet for certain situations. Quotations ... " ... meh should be 66 99 and that will be fixed up by DTP software. We use ' to denote a dropped letter - abbreviation. There are a few others. I won't dwell on "thorne" and ligatures and other oddities.

I do not know of any reason to write ` - it is not an apostrophe, which is: '. What is it?
You assumed incorrectly :)

I don't have an account, but I'm fairly sure Facebook doesn't let you edit it once you've given it.
Big companies aren’t huge for the sake of being huge. They employ so many people because they have so much work to do.

They still employ as few people as they can get away with.
San Francisco & Copenhagen | Realm (YC S11)

Hi — Tim from Realm here (https://realm.io). We’re currently shipping a mobile database that runs directly inside mobile phones, tablets & wearables. Hundreds of millions of people rely on Realm every day through apps by Google, Amazon, eBay, Intel, Hipmunk, Expensify, GoPro, the BBC, Adidas, IBM, Homeland Security, Walmart, LINE, Starbucks, Xiaomi, the Washington Post and many, many more.

We allow people to build faster apps, faster, and do so in a reactive way with live objects, change notifications, unidirectional data flows and much more.

We’re the 3rd-most starred database on GitHub (https://github.com/realm) and growing fast — we just launched for React Native last week: https://realm.io/news/introducing-realm-react-native/

We’re working on some exciting new projects… Some keywords: Mobile, C++, iOS, Objective-C, Swift, Android, Java, JS, React Native, C#, .NET, Xamarin, Unity, distributed systems, cloud, devops, infrastructure, test, QA, evangelism, OS X, Product Manager

We will consider sponsoring work visas to Denmark for the right candidates.

If you’d like to apply it will be easier if you do so directly on our Lever where we have specific jobs listed: https://jobs.lever.co/realm

(But if you have any questions, I’m VP Product at Realm, and always happy to chat: tim@realm.io)
You need to be more specific than that. Here for example is Delphi ecu used by Ford Focus at least between 2001-2005 https://mte.sk/blog/oprava-riadiacej-jednotky-ford-focus-1-8...

I get all that, but it still feels backwards a bit? I work in HW but I write a lot of software tools and prototype control firmware (though I come from an enterprise background). I generally have to write python, C++ or C (all context dependent). If somebody came to me saying "I want to work in C" or "Python" I'd say "so"? They should be saying they are interested in solving optimization problems, image quality search problems, etc. I understand Haskell is great for certain use cases but that applies to every language barring joke ones. Why would an employer hire somebody if they are simply interested in the tool through which the problem is solved not the domain itself? What signal does that provide and what evidence do I have that the person will become component in the domain? The way the original post is framed feels backwards to me.

I should also add, I was one of these people that just wanted to write C++ template metaprogramming all day and I had a hard time find jobs due to this exact line of thinking. Once I relaxed this constraint, I was able to find a new job AND use the programming tools I want, assuming its appropriate for the context.
FWIW, I didn't mean to submit it a second time -- I wasn't sure if it was even new, since they already had the 'Dash' product, didn't know if the 'Button' aspect was known already or not.

I had thought that HN automatically checked for duplicate URL submissions (and the URLs seem to be identical) but maybe because they were both submitted within ~5 minutes of each other that it 'missed' the dupe check, unsure... Anyways, was not intentional! :-)
It's opensource. I ran it in the past locally to test it, so it should still work i think.

It's quite easy to create a library to your own flavor. The default is kinda "meuh" for .net.

It downloads a .zip file that you can use then. Should be able to automate with some work/language.
With the possible exception of Visual Studio, the only thing that mainstream IDEs have been “go to”-ing in the presence of an NP-hard dependency resolution graph for 20 years is the wrong place with a UI that simply exudes confidence.

My apologies, I shouldn't treat HN like Twitter. My statement was meant to spark a discussion but I should try to explain myself.

Maybe "Money laundering doesn't exist in a hypothetical world of private peer-to-peer transactions" is better? That's what I believe the crypto-folk are working towards.

I recognize the existence of laws again 'money laundering' in countries like the USA. I suppose a better way of framing what I think is that money laundering is an invented crime in order to further empower agents of a State to seize assets of those suspected of actual crimes. By 'invented' and 'actual' I'm appealing to a sense of legitimacy separate (or adjacent?) to said State's legal system.
They could charge (that was their original business plan), and could likely charge very little, and they could show non-personalized adds. User tracking is not necessary, merely possible.
> What are the rules and who writes them?

I just wrote them in the comment you replied to: Don't "invade, murder or interfere in elections" of other countries.
> Arguably, this goes against envelope budgeting.

Sort of. At least it would give you a monthly total of everything and a roll up of everything, but doesn't handle carry over cleanly. I was suggesting it as a way that works for lots of people but fair enough if it doesn't' fit close enough.

> Your second approach is closer, but it's a fair amount of work (or perhaps I misunderstood it)

It would look like this: Your salary comes in, and instead of matching that transaction to "income" you would split it against a bunch of "envelope" accounts, each however much you want per check. If you use liability accounts (e.g. like an accounts payable account) for this they will count "backwards". This is exactly analogous to envelopes, except that nothing (other than you) stops you from going negative. You can move funds between them whenever you want.

Then when you spent your $100 check you would split that transaction also, and apply the 60/30/10 each to its own account. These carry over of course, so if you don't spend it all this month you'll have extra next month, etc.

>Journals do have a value, but not the value that Elsevier extracts out of them to the tune of billions of dollars a year in profits.

Elsevier has a 37% profit margin which is insane.
Does anyone know a site that lists old/classic technology that still gathers fans? Things like the Amiga, Sun's workstations, Casio's B640 digital watches, Pebble, etc.

Sort like the Mustangs and Corvettes of tech...
It's important to remember that "paleo" diets have little relationship to what our ancient ancestors actually ate and evolved with. We would have historically not avoided starchy, carb-filled tubers for example, which made up a major portion of the early AMH diet. Additionally, these sites are arctic and near-arctic, where the adapted behavior (and diet) is very different than what it is back in Africa.
I miss the quality and due-diligence of pg's earlier essays. He appears indistinguishable from a Silicon Vally VC now.
Using job ads to gauge market salaries will leave you at a disadvantage. There aren't many engineers in the bay area taking work today at $100k or below. Those that are are usually right out of school, or working for a cause they believe in.
I think that’s about a 1000x overestimate - about 1Ah * 1.5v * 3600s = 5400 J - that’d lift 540kgs up a metre

(Maybe double that for an alkaline one)
You're correct that most Smalltalks have a changes file that keeps a log of everything you've done, but that's now how you do version control or share changes. The changes file in practice is more of a kind of local version control, or unlimited undo buffer. For actually sharing changes, there are two systems that I'm familiar with:

Pharo and Squeak Smalltalk have a DVCS client named Monticello that they use. It works similarly to Git/Mercurial/Bazaar/what-have-you, except that it versions classes and methods semantically instead of the actual changes file. This ends up working fine, and even has some major benefits (you can kiss whole swaths of problems goodbye when you're doing a semantic merge),but it does mean that your Smalltalk code requires its own version control. You can see a quick tutorial of how Monticello handles merging at http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/monticello-merging , and there's what amounts to a command-line interface called Gofer you can read about at http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/gofer . Most people I've seen just use the graphical interface though, which is documented (somewhat) at http://wiresong.ca/monticello/v1/docs/ .

VisualWorks Smalltalk has its own version control system, also semantic, but not distributed, called StORE. I haven't worked with it much, but the general idea is the same: version classes and methods rather than the changes file. I know it can at least import Monticello repositories as well, and possibly work with them natively, but I've never done that, so you'd have to do some more research.
Well according to the article, this would be lucrative to some extent right now. As ever it would be a problem of matching problems to algorithms.

EDIT: maybe we can get the real MTers to do the algorithm/problem matching bit...
They already have conflict resolution implemented for multi-device sync over Wi-Fi. It's not clear to me why they can't re-use the algorithm they've already created for this purpose.

The cloud infrastructure I'll grant them, but 2 years is certainly longer than I anticipated waiting as a customer... mostly because of statements made by the company in question.
CC has kind of been a golden boy to Apple in promos--as a featured developer, winning an Apple Design Award for their desktop version, and becoming a featured app on the iPad page. To boot they have a very snazzy website with a designer who can do great pen and ink infographics on their blog posts to add an air of sophistication and diligence to their brand. But it's all gotten to their head and combined with stiff competition from OmniFocus it looks like they simply had their motivation shot and has reasoned that it would make more sense to sit back and milk the free Apple publicity cash cow. Look at their iPad product page. It's been like that since April. Through all of the sheen, there are cracks.

What's sad is that it's the worst kind of corporate laziness and suck to throw up gorgeous graphics (ex:http://culturedcode.com/status/) and create a false connection to reliability and customer commitment. These guys have lost a lot of trust and there is no evidence that even after this release that they'll continue innovating at any reasonable rate.
Implementing syncing as an independent developer kind of sucks. You have to deal with the huge support burden of an audience that's going to run into every edge case in it and complain very publicly. They're taking their time and trying to get it right.

I did a presentation once on the topic:
http://iphone2009.crowdvine.com/talk/presentation_file/5104/...

Also, if you bought a product, you've signaled that the current feature set was worth the price. If the developers want to add new features for free, that's a nice bonus.

I want to launch a file sharing service as a profitable side project but i'm wondering if there are people who are willing to use and pay for such services in the post dropbox and cloud services era.
I'm planning to offer many features, including:

- password protected downloads.

- preview for pictures and albums.

Also, I have a special domain for this project "file.[tld]"

Is it ethical to sell this font?
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/andrijtype/bandera-display/
This is a font I just find on MyFonts.com Actually, Description for this font sayd "Bandera is Spanish for ‘flag’. And Bandera is a symbol of Ukrainian fighting for freedom for many years." Ukrainian flag and images show that this is only Ukrainian related. Wikipedia sayd, that Bandera kill Poland and Ukrainian sitizens. I'm very dissapointed, because still can't understand what is it: is MyFonts team dosn't know history, or they loyal to him. What do you think - is is ethical or not?

Bizness Apps launches do-it-yourself iPhone app platform for small businesses
http://www.BiznessApps.com
In plain English and in less than two sentences, can you explain what the company is trying to do?

Bizness Apps is trying to make iPhone apps affordable and simple for small businesses. We're a do-it-yourself iPhone app platform that allows small businesses to easily create, edit, and manage an iPhone app online without any programming knowledge needed.

Who cares about this? Why?

Small businesses care about this because iPhone app development is extremely expensive. The mobile app industry is exploding and only large businesses can afford to create a mobile application. This is where Bizness Apps comes in - we're allowing small business to create an iPhone app for just $39 a month with no set up fee!
