Also, note that SMS is charged per/SMS, whereas email is a few KB for a dataplan.

I suspect as dataplans become ubiquitous, IM and email will merge with/replace SMS. Possibly the whole business will reduce down to point-to-point and multicast messages in the end...

This works on Fedora and probably other distributions as well, though this uses HTTP which might be less optimal than FastCGI with Fos. I got Fos to compile with Mono but it's not usable yet, it can't find IAppBuilder in my "console" application no matter what references or using directives I add. Nowin compiles cleanly but the example projects don't, so it'll take some effort to get it to work. Things are progressing, though. But I really can't recommend anyone use Mono for web development as it stands.
I couldn't make out any words on the original image, looked at your example, and then when I looked at the original image again, it was perfectly legible. So, thanks!
Actually, scarier yet is whatever conclusions you seem to arrive at (or, more likely, those which you seem to asymptotically approach) will be baseless and unimportant on an absolute scale: you have to measure the worth of what you create against a scale you do not control.

When you can point to an ought that logically follows from an is, that'll be the most important day in anyone's lives. In the meantime, I'm philosophically opposed to stamping any sort of judgement on the way people lead their lives. There's no reason to condemn anyone for not desiring to learn or to think critically; whatever axiomatic value you try to use as a measuring stick will twist and turn and fail on close inspection: it'll be a subjective measure.

Humans are animals, and going about our business in a frictionless manner is a natural thing to do. Some people detect friction where others see no problem, and from them we see improvement in the sciences and in thought—improvement in the sense that we seem to know more—and those are the people we on HN generally praise.

Lest I come off as a total weirdo, I am for "progress" and "knowledge" and "health" and all that jazz, but I try to keep my pragmatic life as separate from my philosophical life as possible. It's safer that way.
Unfortunately the "why X should blog" articles outweigh the "why X should not blog" articles, since Xes who think that Xes shouldn't blog tend not to blog about it.
So, according to your definition of fairness, we should for example nuke Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia et al., as terrorists show no mercy with our women and children, so why should we bother? Or maybe Microsoft was just right to use its OS/Office monopoly to kill Netscape and many others, as they were in top of the food chain...

IMHO, fairness is necessary linked to bringing balance into the world. Using our brains is of course fair, but we should agree that there is much less brain work in the average modern hunter, drinking beer in a hideout and waiting for an opportunity to shoot a power rifle from a safe distance, than in any of the hunters depicted in the video. I of course cannot do what they do, but it was very humbling and moving to see such display of respect and fairness.

I'm sticking with Occam's razor on this one - "the simplest explanation is more likely the correct one".

A world awash with kilojoules means any life forms around human civilization will be a little more plump.

Charlie Stross does give a hat tip to the overwhelming desire by some sectors to see obesity categorised as a disease / epidemic: "many large corporations would love to see the obesity epidemic pinned on something other than their own sub-standard food products".

However he pulls a quote from Nikhil Dhurandhar at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre to talk about AD-36 as a potential significant factor in obesity. I just wonder as the largest nutrition research centre in the world, with 600 researchers, whether there is ever any institutionalised bias towards concluding / promoting the idea that obesity is a disease / epidemic?

Obviously baseless speculation on my part, but a quick Google finds such Pennington-run conferences as 'Childhood Obesity and Public Health', which is sponsored by...Coca Cola? http://www.pbrc.edu/childhood_obesity_conference/default.htm

I fail to see how accepting this kind of sponsorship money is healthy for independent research in this area.
I've always found the git CLI really odd. For example, when doing a git diff, how would anyone use the following information that gets printed out?

new file mode 100644

index 0000000..cfbc74a

And you have all of these symbols that show up in the diff like "+ [m " before a new line (why not just +?). I imagine there are good reasons for all of this, but I also feel like some of this should be hidden behind a --verbose flag or something.
Or provide more than 1 GB of RAM for what is, effectively, a full blown computing device.
I believe you've just restated what I wrote.

Quoting from the Free Software Definition page at https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html :

> You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.

There is nothing that obligates giving back code. Rather, that obligation is against the four freedoms of the free software. Hence, "if you take code, you must give back code" is not, as jordigh understood, one of rms's intentions.

It depends what you mean by that. The military requires companies hand over their source code for security reasons anyway.

And you do need something specific to appeal. You can't simply say, "We lost, we'd like to appeal". Pretty much the only appeals that take that form are death penalty cases, which typically have automatic appeals.
As I've been working on my pet compiler project recently, I began to collect some compiler-related online resources, this book is one of the hidden gems. The author (Torben Mogensen) has been so generous to give it out for free, that's why I think it needs more exposure.

It's heavy on the compiler theory part, so I mainly use it as a reference book. It also has a "companion" book (my take) -- Programming Language Concepts for Software Developers [1] by Peter Sestoft. The PLCSD book, also free, is more on hand-on projects, where you can implement a Micro-C compiler.

I have no smartphone and my mobile phone isn't continouusly on; I still use one. It's a Casio F94-W, which is sort of but not fully like the F91-W; obviously I'm an evil terrorist.
I don't. Realized it was useless a few years ago, and it annoyed me to have something on my wrist all day. Also, I like being less able to see what time it is so easily, checking my watch used to be a nervous habit. I can always find the time now (there are clocks everywhere), but I don't constantly check the time like I used to.

I'm 25 by the way. My guess is that more than half of my friends still wear watches, but people younger than me tend to not wear them any more. They're usually worn as more of a fashion statement than anything, but that will probably change.
OTOH I have found slide decks from academic presentations of papers tremendously useful. You get the gist of a paper in a couple of minutes. Even reading the slides + reading the paper is quicker than just reading the paper if the slides are good, because you don't have to reread as much to understand the content.
To me, not familiar with ObjC/OSX memory management, the last sentence reads like "...it's not a big deal after all. If you malloc/fopen something, make sure you free/fclose it."

Could you explain the difference?
I think he is perfectly reasonable in not giving out his slides. A lot of people put up slides on slideshare or somewhere else, as if those alone gives you a comprehensible understanding of what subject they are presenting - it does not!

A good presentation has few slides with a few key points, some images and the rest should come from the presenter. In contrast, an article explaining a subject is primarily made up of text, code samples and a few images. If you try to aim for the middle ground, you are going to get something that is sub-par for both.
A large chunk of it is syncing of data. Yes, I could choose to only use wifi for that, but I like having the near instant backup to multiple places, even if it chews up more usage.
> There is no evolutionary reason to believe that literally all your brain power is devoted to cost benefit analysis

The brain uses something like 1/5th of the oxygen you take in, what is it doing with all that?

If we use the phrase "cost benefit analysis" in a general sense (rather than the specific activity [1]) for coming up with the "best" thing to do then I think it's practically tautological that your brain is a gland for just that.

> if that were the case, under the presumption that we have some self-determination, it wouldn't tell us much about whether its morally good or not or aesthetically pleasing or whatever criteria we might use.

From what might be called an "evolutionary fundamentalist" POV "self-determination" is also something your CBA-gland does to get your genes into the future and (perhaps paradoxically) you don't get a choice about using it to maximize your expected future benefit.

Those are definitely skills many at the bottom lack. They weren't part of my basic education, but I'm sure we went to different schools.

Regardless, people without those skills exist. Us HN people never meet them, and have a hard time imagining their lives, but they're still out there.

I completely agree that our educational system is fucked and needs to be fixed. I don't see how that would help the people who already went through the fucked up version, even if it ever got fixed, which I think we can agree isn't likely the next decade at least?

I have never had a good experience incorporating a headless browser test into a test suite. In literally every case it added so much complexity, suite run time and uncertainty that I realized it was better to just do the test via unit tests (which test the logic directly) and/or integration tests (which test the HTTP output of the controllers) if it was at all possible to rework the logic to operate in that fashion.

1) Increased load times and test run times due to browser complexity and memory consumption

2) Impossible to run concurrently without additional instances, each of which takes up massive memory

3) Tests are slow and often nondeterministic (literally THE WORST property a test suite can have), with many cases where things like "sleep()" delays are put in to circumvent some opaque browser latency issue, which is just gross

4) Even after suffering all of the above, you're still only testing ONE engine (say, WebKit) instead of all of the popular ones (Blink (Chrome), Gecko (Firefox), EdgeHTML (eh, Blink, I guess, now?), etc)

I did not enumerate all the disadvantages, but these should be enough to support my position. The number of browser driver driven tests in your test suite should be as close to "zero" as possible.

Does this discourage the use of SPA's? A lot, yes. But when necessary, I manage to do a separate frontend JS test suite via jsdom which does not require firing up a headless browser, and my build process runs both the frontend and backend test suites and only deploys if they both pass.
The font is easier to see now, but the background being as dark as it is still makes the font harder to read than if the background were white or something much closer to it.

>Under financialised logic it is absolutely immaterial whether Twitter, Uber or whatever make a penny. Ever. Or whether any of the stakeholders are served. The rules of traditional business go out the window.

What makes you think that shareholders in Twitter or Uber don't care that they'll never make a penny? They're not turning a profit now, but it seems at least somewhat plausible that they'll make money in the future. Under that assumption (ie. future expected earnings), it seems perfectly consistent with "rules of traditional business".

>Under that system, Uber is successful so long as the financial market says it is. When it decides it's not successful, it's not. One has to realise that a total detachment of political economics and power has taken place.

Congratulations. You just discovered "the price of something is what someone is willing to pay for it", not its actual utility.

>The mining curve obviously makes BTC not just, as it enormously promotes early adopters.

You know the rules beforehand though. Nobody comes in later and changes them, whereas with fiat money this happens all the time.

>If you live in a democracy, you've got some say in the financial policy and the nature of the financial system. With BTC, it is controlled 100% by the core devs and the miners. Mining is "democratic" in the sense that anybody can do it but it takes money to mine. This is worse than what we see in many democratic nations where wealth creates political power. At least I have a tiny amount of political power rather than literally zero.

But it's not literally zero. The same political power that you have over your country's government is the same political power you would have (or perhaps slightly less) over BTC or some equivalent. The government can always regulate something like BTC. It would make the situation more like fiat money, but the possibility is there.
How fast do you think would price of gold raise if it was discovered just decade ago even if it had no industrial applications but it was objectively limited in supply and total amount that will eventually get mined?

I think bit slower than bitcoin just because bitcoin is so easily splittable, transfersble and easy to hold safely.

Emacs Lisp is a rare case of being in certain ways older than Scheme.

Common Lisp, which is the main representative of Lisp-2 family, is firmly in lexical scoping, which is what enabled the example in the linked article. It also has wild unrestricted macros, and much more stable language (less redoing work when moving from implementation to implementation, especially if you use wrapper libs around stuff outside standard library)
Don't always assume bad intent with these sports leagues. I helped my son's tackle football league out with various organizational and website tasks because they didn't have anybody on the board that understood it well. Some parents are just better suited to teaching tackling technique than they are creating a web form that makes sense. I'm guessing that OP's league might be sponsored by the city and the city Parks & Rec staff had some city attorney come up either the requirements for the form and the T&Cs, and I'm guessing that this attorney has no kids in the program and has no internet security experience, either.
I feel like Firefox should implement these features, they are excellent features that even though may have their risks are risks well understood by many firefox users. Keeping them disabled by default (and behind flags) is also a possible choice. I think features like these would encourage companies web apps and at the end be safer than downloading a native binary with much much more access to my device's data.

It depends on the project really. I've been doing the nights/weekends thing for a while now for a new startup of mine and I couldn't be happier. Could I launch quicker if I quit my job? Absolutely. Is it necessary? Nope. If you're happy with your job and enjoy receiving a steady income, keep your job, work on the project until you get a real gauge of what you want to put into it and how quickly you want to launch, then make a decision then. My personal plan is to stick with the job, work on the project until I'm ready to launch, then to see in a small test market what the viability and money potential really is. Then, if I think it looks good, I'll quit and dedicate more time. I'm obviously biased, but it's absolutely possible to build a product in your free time.

"If you break the law, then you have no right to complain when you go to jail." This is what I was responding to.

You can say whatever you like when you are jailed. But I have limited sympathy, which I reserve for true victims of circumstance. You (usually) knew it was illegal when you did it.

It's fine to disagree with the law, to protest it, to seek change. But "doing it anyway and hoping you don't get caught" is not an attempt at civil reform.

BUT you do have a right to object to unreasonable punishment. That's absolutely within your rights. "His sentence is way too long for his crime" is a discussion I'm happy to have.
