I'm missing some context here- what happened to these playgrounds? Why have they gone missing? For example, it looks like Central Park still has a lot of playgrounds. http://www.centralpark.com/guide/activities/children-s-activ...
Very comprehensive. Enjoyed the interactive examples.
"Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" is from 2001, and looks a lot more like the right half of the image than the left.
Any interview with John Lennon will tell you as much, too.

I recommend Zettlr in a top-level comment. It is able to handle tables within its Markdown setup. Here's how it handles them: https://docs.zettlr.com/en/core/tables/
The author is not writing down action items after a meeting. It's the job of politicians (presumably) to draft up policy. Activism groups also push for specific regulation sometimes.

But stating your policy opens up another angle of attack: those who wish to undermine your ideas can attack your implementation rather than the concept.
I would like to do the same, but most of my friends aren't even on Signal. There is no chance in hell that they buy a messenger.
Their policy is not only to simply follow the law: they are also actively paying (with advances) writers with a specific agenda denying trans people rights. This is not about what you think this is.
Isn't the shuttle capable of being run autonomously? I know it can be landed without human intervention, but isn't the crew more or less cargo for the whole trip as well (except for tasks such as running experiments)?

Not that there wouldn't be volunteers and a reputational benefit to sending a solo or two-man crew up.
I had to look at the screenshots to see if the point of this was to test you on the questions or explain the questions. Exactly what it is could be a lot clearer.

Actually, the other side could be really interesting. The app shows you a problem (like the recognition of a number in a string) and shows you the unit tests. Then you're graded based on how many you pass.
AT&T (the ISP's) allocations are to AT&T Corp, not AT&T Services.
> Recipes online say you need to make a fermented starter liquid called zakwas, which is allegedly sold pre-made in Polish grocery stores. But I could not find it for sale online.

In what part of the world are you in? Changes are there is a at least on Polish deli around you.

You can also make a starter yourself:

Unbelievably, github.com and reddit.com _still_ don't have ipv6 addresses.
Oh, and if anyone wants to know, WifiMask doesn't run on Windows, it's all Linux. ;-)
Decentralization in healthcare is basically not going to happen unless the US stops giving tax exemptions for employer-provided health insurance.
We've been using pgloader as part of our production workflows between RDBMS' for about a year now. Overall I am super impressed with the speed and reliability of it.

Some gotchas:

- MySQL to Postgres needs some massaging for int-types. Pgloader will convert MySQL bigint to type "numeric" by default - which is a bit of overkill.

- For issues like the above, they have a handy syntax for the pgloader template files which lets you do datatype casts on the fly. [1]

I'm in Vancouver, BC but happy to set up a call. Currently working on a prelaunch fintech startup, always great to hear from people interested in the field.
This is cool but my favorite all time video in this genre is "Big Ideas (don't get any)" on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/1109226 In addition to driving a number of pieces of old equipment in unintended ways to make the sound the video is also very artfully done.
Not to mention the (un)surprisingly low sales in spanish speaking countries of the car known as the Vauxhall Nova ...
One thing that's been interesting is that there's been a noticeable dichotomy in how people and companies have been affected. Those who are lower-class and potentially worked in retail or restaurants have been slammed economically with the stimulus checks and the rent forbearance being one of the few things keeping them afloat. Yet if you talk to those who are middle class or upper-class many have done incredibly well since the stock market has gone up and their cost of living has decreased. From an industry perspective, there's been a shift in spending and some industries like ecommerce, groceries, video games etc have done extremely well.
Interesting...I'm not a fan of read receipts and typing indicators for messaging applications for reasons like this. If I need to craft a lengthy reply, it could take a day depending on the schedule. If someone never replies though when it is the de-facto-company messaging platform, that is highly problematic.
A coworker even mentioned how anxiety-inducing typing a lengthy reply is that involves some lengthier research.
Algae is green. It will grow in wet, light exposed places.
I've been using it for a few years. It has its warts, but the problem you highlighted has never bitten me.
Does this approach have to deal with potential recursive locking?
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is optics (most of the installed userbase for signal has probably only ever heard of monero in a negative light).
What makes the finding interesting is that a lot of people really, really, really, really wanted it to work. They wanted big wins for free. They wanted fundamental science laws to fall. They wanted a revolution. They wanted it to come from somebody just playing around, rather than more boring incremental results by somebody who dragged their ass through a PhD and postdoc.

And several agencies, including NASA, threw money at it. Why? Honestly, I'm not sure. A combination of really, really wishing it was right, and wanting to be able to say they looked.

So to scientists this isn't really interesting at all. Just like with the faster-than-light neutrinos, they knew all along that it was a measurement error. The specific source of the measurement error is mildly interesting, but not a billionth as interesting as New Physics would have been.

Everybody wants New Physics, including scientists. The scientists are just extremely doubtful that we're going to just stumble on it, because all that stuff is well-worn territory, and it's unlikely that there's something really obvious that they've missed. But it's not impossible, which means that this isn't the first story we've gotten like this, and it won't be the last.

(It's probably not even the end of this one, to be honest. I'm sure people will keep working on this. But the scientists can legitimately stop.)
> And the mafia connected taxi regime isn't sociopathic?

That's quite an accusation (going from "taxi mafia" to taxis connected to actual mafia), though I suppose it's true in some parts of the world.

Either way, sure, plenty of cities had their taxi services thoroughly broken. However, that doesn't justify fighting the bad with the worse. Despite the PR narrative they pushed, Uber wasn't some tiny upstart bravely fighting against the great taxi mafia - it was a VC backed corporation (later on, a multinational) fighting individual taxi networks in a divide-and-conquer fashion. And when I call Uber sociopathic, I don't just mean I don't like them - this particular company has a long documented history of antisocial behavior.

> If we're going to judge Uber for breaking this monopoly, let's also turn that same critical eye on the monopoly it broke.

Again, multinational corporation breaking city after city, in isolation? Also, I'm not judging Uber for being a monopoly. I'm judging them for being a morally bankrupt company that achieved market domination by breaking the law and only got away with it because they moved fast and burned through lots of investor money.
It's a shame this article was upvoted so much with an editorialized title that is blatantly misleading and out of context. And the number of comments by people who didn't even read the article is disappointing. This is page 6 material, not for HN. Or is this what HN is now?
I was never a daily visitor to Gawker or Gizmodo, but I used to end up there fairly frequently via links. What I've noticed over the past few months is that they seem to have dropped entirely out of the online social media "conversation" - you don't see people linking to them, you don't see people twittering their articles, etc. I don't have any technical explanation for that, but maybe the redesign was especially off-putting to heavy blog readers most likely to reblog/retweet things?
Getting throttled a bit right now by the github API — should be better soon.
Apple is an interesting company but not all Apple news is interesting. Articles about the three points you mention have a lot of potential, but this is not related to any of them except Apple being big, which is somewhat interesting on its own but the reasons for its dominance would be more interesting. Sales, revenue, and profit are way up as expected and I think an analysis of the earnings report would have been interesting, but this press release doesn't provide that.
Seems like it's not working at the moment, perhaps overloaded.
Hmm, I also think you need a new name. 'Showoff' says exactly what it does, lets you 'showoff' your work. What's a pagekite? (reminds of the 'mint' vs that unpronouncablely named finance site naming issue).

I'm an ops guy, lets say I want to give access to my next generation product to a usability lab for feedback. Can you imagine what that whole experience would feel like?

I'll want some reporting of when the site was used and what was done.

I'll want full cookie transparency so that the user experience will be 'real' but not require the developers to do anything special to get there.

I'll want to know that I can turn it off pretty much instantly if I think there is a problem.

That is perhaps a product that is orthogonal to the 'put a demo page up' kind of thing though.
It's probably hard to find, depending on where you live.

I'd personally recommend the "ciorba de perisoare" (soup with meatballs) "ciorba de fasole cu afumatura" (bean soup with pork) and "ciorba de burta" (if you're willing to have an open mind when trying it, the taste is very good; it's tripe soup).
They're both there, but under Stews. https://www.tasteatlas.com/Stews

...I grew up eating Irish Stew and thought of it more as a soup too

Haha no worries - people read Casual all the time. We might have to change our name :D
I don't disagree with you, but the state of affairs is basically a protection racket. If you sell out your users to Facebook, they'll keep you safe from all the other attackers.
Keep in mind that on most items, supermarkets have margins of just a few percent. There’s a reason why everything else tends to be more expensive, but you are right that the quality of goods sold have seriously declined and continue to decline.
Just keep in mind that if your thinking is heresy you either have a way to show results quickly or a huge marketing budget. Being right today doesn't mean people will listen. With so much noise on the web credibility is a huge driver for customer acquisition. If your solution doesn't clearly show results and requires a pitch be ready to spend a lot of time building up your case and selling it. For instance, insects are a good idea for animal feed, right? Well you still need a lot of marketing to convince animal farmers to adopt them, the easier thing for them to do is just keep doing what they are doing today.
Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely give it a try! Presently I've been developing a site for my real estate agency using one of these best wordpress themes - https://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes.php . I like the possibility to customize my colors, fonts and styles in a couple of clicks.
I've looked around for the ability to turn off supernode on Linux and Mac clients for a while but have come up empty. Do you know which section of the preferences/settings it's supposed to be in?
That's the main thing I use visual mode for in Vim: to avoid having to count the number of lines. From the start of the block you just press 'v' then move the cursor to the end of the block; once you've got the lines highlighted, the yank and delete operations will automatically use them.
It should be pointed out that the unassisted static apnea record is 11.5 minutes. Making noise about Blaine's times sound a little silly.
I am unlikely to get on the leader board. I am very much an "outsider" here -- not a programmer and not male. Former homemaker in fact. This is the first place I have ever posted where a) I can't keep up with all the traffic (historically, I have been known to read every single thing posted to forums I belonged to -- not so here) and b) no one has ever remarked on my posts being too long or there being too many of them (a common complaint about me in most forums I have participated in). Many of my posts do not get upvoted and I may never figure out how to pursue such an achievement here. I have mixed feelings about that: Slightly bruised ego because I so very often attract the spotlight without meaning to (whereas I am being "overlooked" here) but also relief at not attracting so much negative attention just for being me.

I will note that many of the benefits you cite could have occurred even if karma were not the means by which pecking order is tracked here. So I don't think it really says much about karma per se.

But thanks for sharing.
I'm sure that something would be extremely painful. Some sort-of-independent tribe/people that uses one or two letters that are "really part" of another language. In short, politics.

To the best of my knowledge, Cyrillic languages don't use the Roman script (except where letters appear to be similar). The ASCII subset of codepage 866 is for "cd C:\", not for Cyrillic.
There is article about language but it's only in russian: http://rsdn.ru/article/dotnet/ElaDevelopment.xml

I will ask author to translate it into english.
It even works for Iceland. That's neat. That's not the default with these kinds of services.

However, it doesn't work for India.. which kind of sucks, but I hope that will be improved over time.

It would be nice to know which reservation service this is using...
If I was doing independent work on Microsoft or Google code, I'd pick (B).

I think the world would be a better place if everyone would do (D).

I agree with you about Microsoft.
If you enjoy reading about the Zork Implementation Language, you might also enjoy my project, ZILF, which is a working implementation of ZIL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/zilf/

ZIL is basically a domain-specific language on top of MDL, the Lisp-like language that was used to write the original mainframe Zork. The developers went on to start Infocom and split Zork into three parts that were small enough to run on home computers, creating ZIL and the Z-machine in the process.

The source code for mainframe Zork is still available, but the subset of MDL implemented by ZILF isn't complete enough to play it. Matthew T. Russotto has written a MDL interpreter to do just that: http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXprogrammingXmdlX...
Yet many projects do use jQuery, so if you're in an interview you should be able to say you've built a jQuery plug-in.
Agreed :) Gives people the opportunity to access something they didn't have before. It was definitely a stretch to put that in there.
Think kd it this way. When you stream a movie from Netflix it is one TCP session. Not 5, 10, etc. So if you load balance to your neighbor your stream will be worse by default.

Like others have pointed out, Linux doesn't load balance a single connection over multiple WANs, so as long as the Netflix stream gets on the best link, it'll be better since it'll have to compete with fewer connections (since some will be routed over the other link).
My point was, in this setup, if his neighbor was not a Comcast customer, then he would not have any legitimate authorization to connect to the xfinitywifi network through his neighbor's router.

I don't have a lot of confidence in Comcast to have set it up so that connections to the xfinitywifi network do not impact the regular, private usage. It's just not in that company's style to think proactively and conscientiously about its customers.
One thing I didn't know is that Ellen Pao sued for $144M in punitive damages.

Which is coincidentally the amount to the dollar that her husband is being sued for (and expected to lose) over his Ponzi scheme that bankrupted three Louisiana pension schemes.
Interesting, but it feels still a bit subjective.

Also, I'm interested in what you would say about the difference between art created by a single person (say Leonardo da Vinci, or any great painter) or art created by a whole army of people (say Pixar, or any of the movie/animation studios).
There is a list of valid degrees that qualify a person to join the patent bar or work as an examiner. A law degree is required and also an engineering degree but software engineers are specifically excluded.

Civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineers and possibly others are included and software is excluded. And this is the agency that evaluates and issues patents to strangle our field.
Refuting what claim?

It's also important to note that there's a difference between dry muscle mass and what you read on your scale after you've taken away body fat (that's presumably "wet muscle" - I don't know the exact word for it). So in your case, you might've gained a bit of fat (let's say 2 lbs for sake of argument), which means you gained 15-2/3 = 4.3 lbs of "wet muscle", which is entirely possible according to this article. You'll definitely gain more weight if you doubled your rations, but I suspect that will shift your muscle-to-fat gains ratio much more towards gaining fat.

I've also made similar gains at one point, going from 140-155 in 3 months. I did this through a diet of ~3600-4500 calories, and I gained a bit of fat too probably from overshooting my caloric intake near the end at 4500. Granted, my diet wasn't perfect, but it was pretty regulated so that's why the original claim's rate of muscle gain draws my attention.
* I don't see where's the incentive for them to behave like this.*

They almost certainly get more money.

They are selling the budget chickens to the budget customers at a profit. They are getting the same chickens at a larger profit to other people.
What's sketchy about trying to leverage unexpected popularity for the benefit of the American Cancer Society?
From the interview:

- How can you patent something like online flight planning?
[--] Were you just first ones to think of patenting it?

- According to the Patent Office, that is correct.

The interviewer tries to squeeze information out from the man, but he just talks his way around the actual question, saying things like IANAL, It's in the Patent, the Patent is very specific, that's what the Patent Office says.

I wish the interviewer wasn't so soft with him.
Thanks! I didn't know this was possible. It's going save me untold amounts of time.
You shouldn't conflate .NET and IE usage. I can only think of a few .NET web developers who use IE by choice.

More likely, corporate developers of every flavor are more often locked into IE by company policy. It would be interesting to see those browser usage stats broken down by language. I bet Java and .NET would have similar IE usage.
Cecil Day Lewis:

Tempt me no more, for I
Have known the lightning's hour,
The poet's inward pride,
The certainty of power.

And, of course being a Scot, Robert Burns:

What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man's a Man for a' that:
For a' that, and a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that.

and:

By oppression's woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!—
Let us do or die!

[Apologies for the bloodthirsty nature of Scots Wha Hae - but I was taught this stuff from an early age and it kind of stuck even though it's describing events of 700 years ago.]

Edit:

Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green vallies below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Rails running on...?

If you pick and choose the other side of the comparison, you can may anything have a better ROI than anything else.

A better comparison would be Windows/IIS/.NET vs. Linux/Apache/<Insert Java Framework Here>
It's also false.

Examples:
DirectX -- nVidia and ATI implement Direct3D in hardware, not the other way around
.NET -- C# and F# are leading language development in many ways (not all)
XNA -- games for Zune, PC's, Windows Mobile, XBox from one suite of development tools and a consistent toolkit across all three
WPF/Silverlight -- it's what Flash 10 and HTML 5 are pretending to be

MS pioneered tablet computing

MS has technological innovation coming out of its ears. What's amazing about it is how poorly MS takes advantage of it

MS is in fact turning into the IBM of the software world -- large, profitable, and not sexy, but critical.

For that matter, IBM is far from irrelevant -- the technology that IBM develops and isn't bright enough to utilize for itself enables the rest of the semiconductor industry to compete with Intel -- including AMD.

Just like IBM, Microsoft is developing all sorts of stuff, some of it cool and some of it mundane, but both lack the vision to actually DO anything with it. That's what Apple is good at -- Apple doesn't develop much technology, but is good at coming up with cool things to do with it.
Interesting concept, wouldn't want it on a blog of mine, though.

Out of interest, do you just offer to post the first comment, or could someone for example ask for 100 comments on a single youtube video, making it look like lots of users commenting on it?
Stored procedures aren't even required. Just use parameterized queries.
Sounds like the old joke any Marine will tell you:

"A Marine gets out and goes on his first job interview. The interviewer asks: 'I see you were a Marine. What did they train you to do?'. Marine answers: 'TO KILL PEOPLE SIR!'"
The only power the employer has is to offer money in return for labor. Similarly, the employee has the power to offer labor in return for money.

There are other things to be offered besides money. Unfortunately, these are often faked by employers.
