I believe CopyPress by BlueGlass (http://www.copypress.com/) is this. And those guys are some SEO geniuses - like Greg Boser?
Agreed, that's what I thought the punchline would be. A sample solution that only works with the sample data provided. (something along the lines of x*y = x+y, with the sample data being (0,0) and (2,2))

You must be mistaken. The fan was installed for Flash. This is why Flash needs to die; so Apple can exclude the fan and make a smaller, lighter notebook.
It's funny how they have trouble with the word "concentration" when the word I would have trouble with is "camp". Makes it sound like a weekend getaway or fun for the kids.

Concentration "prison" is more accurate. Try leaving and see what happens.
A cursory inspection of Posterous will show that it uses Google analytics. Google runs Blogger. It's a direct competitor, even though Tumblr has a much more similar feature set.

So given that Posterous happily lets Google collect stats about all their users and their business, your hypothesis is patently absurd.

I was in a smaller city in Spain on a Sunday, late night, and the local BK was jam-packed with teens. More than I've ever seen at any fast-food joint in my life. I must admit, though, since I've accompanied some friends in W. Europe as they eat there, they are cleaner and the staff, more motivated (than in the US).
So maybe preserving jobs, along the lines advocated by US populists for the last 200 years, isn't quite as idiotic a social policy it has been made out to be by the mainstream left, neo-conservative right and libertarians?
Though I'm not sure it needs to be completely automated. You don't see robots writing news articles, but a researcher and Google are more productive than several researchers.
In my experience, Firefox has better memory usage than Chromium-based browsers. Of course it still uses a lot, all things considered.

Some took it even further. The reason Plato gives for why Socrates wrote nothing down is that writing is an aid to memory and a form of crutch for the mind. And just as walking around on crutches will weaken a healthy man’s legs over time, so will leaning on writing weaken his memory.
I think his point was that with Cosmopolitan native binaries one would no longer need Electron to provide cross-platform binaries. There is a lack of good GUI frameworks to build this native Electron replacement with though, nor is it certain the effort would not be too high.

If that "culture" means that someone (but not everyone) is allowed to say unrelated things in unrelated venues, sure, I agree that it would have a great impact, negatively.

Seriously, you can instead say that the description for newer programming languages tends to be subjective (which is IMO true). Then the discussion about regulating descriptions can follow. Instead you have this useless rant. The original link is correctly flagged, not because it is anti-Rust, but because it has no substantial values to discuss at all.
Hi Fellow HN'ers,

Happy to answer any questions or comments.

If you don't mind me hijacking the conversation, I'd like to pose two questions to HN:

> Alternatively, I considered calling it ‘UntrackMe: Remove tracking from email newsletters’. Which sounds better?

and

> I don’t know if it’s worth the effort to do this. Do many people still read emails in plain text?

What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading!
Warren Buffett said Bitcoins are a mirage and I agree. They are worthless hashes. Why do they have any value? The answer is they have no value. I said so here when they were worth over twice what they are now. If there is any sign of a bubble in tech, it would be Bitcoin market cap. Which is $3 billion at the moment.

Who are the fools who exchange cash for them? Why do they have any value? Some people say you can use them as currency. You can use dollars as currency. Or gold. Some say it can transfer money, but so can wire transfers. Perhaps it is decentralized (who cares? Not I. Wire transfers work for me) etc. But gold has value, while Bitcoin has nothing. I remember during the dot bomb days when there were commercials for Flooz and Beenz.

The leaders in the Bitcoin community are being sued and jailed for fraud, the price has gone from $1100 to $230, yet suckers are still bamboozled to trade cash for these worthless hashes. It will go to $115, then $57, then eventually $0. I doubt all those who already lost money or who are being jailed will learn anything.
This story seems at odds with the idea that the NSA collects massive amounts of data about everyone, or at least with the idea that it is capable of making use of that data, by sorting and qualifying it properly.

If the NSA needs to know so much about people to protect us from terrorists, why did the TSA, NYPD and FBI have to ask this guy these questions? Shouldn't one telephone call to the NSA have resulted in 'no known risks'?

Of course, putting on my tinfoil hat, this may be on purpose. A few such incidents may be necessary to give us the idea that they are in the dark. The entire thing may have been a charade, caused by the 'telephone call' not helping out.
I always set my alarm each night, and I haven't heard it go off in about 6 years. I always wake up before my alarm would go off, without fail. Even if I set it to a strange time.

I think it has to do with the fact that I set it each night, but I'm not sure...
You need to pressure them. They have no incentives to change this system, so give them incentive.

There are so many red flags in your post, if I were you, I'd start looking for my way out immediately (I don't know your personal situation so ymmv). Company culture changes slowly, and based on the number red flags, I'd say it's probably easier to leave and find something better. If you are staying because you like working with some people, ask them to consider joining the same company where you get hired. If you try to change the organization, be prepared that people will stop liking you because you are not the obedient little code monkey anymore and they won't like that you don't let them exploit you anymore.

> on-call isn’t compensated with the rationale that it’s part of your engineering duties

That's just wrong, do not let them convince you this is normal. If they want you be available at all times, then they should pay. If they don't want to pay, tell them you won't do on calls anymore.

> In a gambit to prioritize uptime over engineer time

I see they are very generous with your time.

> Being able to sleep fully through the night is increasingly rare.

Again, it's a sign that your system is unstable. You need to ask them to prioritize fixes to these issues, even if they can't be solved easily. Take a good look at how development is organized. Do you have automated tests, code reviews, knowledge sharing? Are you always working on features and ignore bugs? Running systems should not be this hard.

> yeah, we’re looking into it

This is an acceptable answer exactly once.

> The company could easily afford it, but probably doesn’t want to pay for what it can get for free.

About 15 years ago, I developed a startup challenge for micro-enterprises called the Thousand Rand Challenge (about $100 at the time). That became a large-scale project, starting 1,000 businesses simultaneously. We Creative-Commons the results here: http://startup.wikia.com/wiki/Thousand_Rand_Challenge
Eating right amount of food that your body really needs at all times is best than eating too much some times and fasting at other times. Stability of food intake insures stability of mind and a stable, calm mind results in stable body.

"Prahlad Jani, also known as "Mataji", (born Chunriwala Mataji, 13 August 1929) is an Indian sadhu. He claims to have lived without food and water since 1940, and says that the goddess Amba sustains him.
Two observational studies of Jani have been conducted, one in 2003 and one in 2010, both involving Sudhir Shah, a neurologist at the Sterling Hospitals in Ahmedabad, India, who had studied people claiming to have exceptional spiritual abilities, including other fasters such as Hira Ratan Manek. In both cases the investigators confirmed Jani's ability to survive healthily without food and water during the testing periods, although neither study was submitted to a scientific journal.

I don't particularly trust survey results conducted by the Japanese Gov for the following reasons:

1. Saving face is the most important thing in Japanese society. Based on history, Japan's government is not above molding things like survey results to fit their agendas like the preservation of Japan's nuclear family or hunting endangered whales and other fish

2. In psychology, we're aware that people don't necessarily do what they say. I would guess that this is even more true of Japanese society at large. I wouldn't be surprised if many respondents merely gave answers based on what they felt people expected. Japanese society is a polite society. It is less direct and less truthful when you compare it to other cultures.

Of course I could always be proven wrong.
I was in the same position as you (upgraded iOS several times on a 4S) and experienced the same issues, but I found a clean install dramatically improved performance, though not to the same snappiness of iOS 6.

This applies to all niche apps. I have a B2C niche app that makes about 1,000€ per month, which is hardly sustainable. I'm a one-man show and supporting an iOS and an Android app slows me down in releasing new features for the SaaS.

Whenever I change the SaaS, I have to change both mobile apps. This is painful.

It's boring stuff when you sit and listen to the reasonable people, both sides which have completely valid points which all should be taken care of ("pro-gg" caring about ethics in journalism, "anti-gg" caring about mysoginy and sexism in games).

If you follow from that side, then you see that the entire ordeal is two sides that have valid points and that aren't inherently conflicting.

The "conflict" is a self-feeding circle of hatred on disgusting platforms such as twitter which only serve to point the finger. "Look at what those mysoginistic arseholes are saying" and "Look at what those unethical cockroaches are printing", more or less.

I spent five minutes reading through the feed of some gg-related (pro or against, doesn't f-ing matter at this point) "moderator". I got deeply affected. Way, way too much. The guy was fighting the "conflict" and not doing either side any favour. I got physically ill and wanted to cry.

The worst of the worst on the internet usually doesn't affect me, but this did, maybe because it showed me that sometimes, humanity is pretty damn hopeless.

Thanks a lot, Twitter, for enabling such senseless hatred to develop and literally destroy a large part of the gaming community. To enable the worst in people and harass people, I must stress, on both sides of the pointless conflict. An absolute waste.

I can only recommend people to stay the hell away from the entire subject and ignore it. If you care about ethics in game journalism, you should stay the hell away from gamergate. And if you want to improve the situation regarding women/feminism in games, being "anti-gg" won't help your cause. At this point, it's just a hopeless bunch of people arguing on twitter over the argument itself, rather than the actual talking points.
So, how does this compare to Pattern (http://www.clips.ua.ac.be/pages/pattern) -- a (in my opinion) very high-quality, BSD-licensed data mining and NLP library coming from the academic world?
Flexbox certainly looks like it will remove some of those 'hit-head-on-desk-again' moments. There's a ton of learning available for free in Sean Fioritto's course:

which is nothing short of excellent.
It can be from the perspective of the calling code.

Roughly speaking:

thread_local! {
static CBQ: Option<Box<impl FnMut(i32, i32) -> i32>>;
}

#[no_mangle]
extern "C" fn qsort(array: *mut i32, val: usize, callback: impl FnMut(i32, i32) -> i32);

pub fn rust_qsort(array : Vec<i32>, callback: impl FnMut(i32, i32) -> i32){
CBQ.replace(Box::new(callback)).unwrap_none();

unsafe {
qsort(array.as_mut_ptr(), array.len(), &rust_qsort_callback);
}

CBQ.take().unwrap();
}

fn rust_qsort_callback(a: *mut i32, b: *mut i32) -> i32 {
let callback = CBQ.take().unwrap();

let (a, b) = unsafe {
(*a, *b)
};

let result = callback(a, b);

CBQ.replace(callback).unwrap_none();

result
}

fn main() {
let a = vec![4,5,6,3,2];

rust_qsort(a, |a, b| {
if a < b {
-1
} else if a > b {
1
} else {
0
}
})
}

ought to work. (There's some fun with generics and panics, which is some fun to solve, but nothing which breaks the premise above).
> Second: you can get a "Private Mailbox" service. PMBs are really useful in their own right, but with USPS rules you CANNOT send unsolicited or bulk mail to these addresses. The USPS keeps a database and is very good about filtering these off.

Personally I prefer IBM Plex Mono and family. https://github.com/IBM/plex
> absolute pitch, the rare ability to identify a musical note like F# just by hearing it, can be a massive benefit to a musician. you can learn the skill in a matter of weeks, but it can only be acquired before the age of 7. only 0.01% of people end up learning it in time!

This seems to be a very problematic paragraph. In particular:

> it can only be acquired before the age of 7

I'm doubtful about how true this is. I can't find anything backing up this claim (unless you count "being born with synesthesia" or "being blind at birth" as "acquired"); the closest I can find is Mozart having demonstrated this ability by age 7.

On the contrary, this seems like the exact sort of thing someone could readily memorize well beyond that age (maybe not perfectly, but within a given margin of error, sure), much like one might recognize a given tempo or a given shade of orange. It's hard, but with practice it's possible.

In fact, most people are able to recognize the pitches themselves; even amateur singers (and non-singers entirely) can sing songs they've heard in approximately the right key, and the average person can usually recognize when a song is pitched up or down relative to how it's "supposed" to be (this is one of the common traits for both nightcore and vaporwave: shifting the pitch up or down, respectively). What's missing here is the ability to actually name that pitch, but just because one can't vocalize what the brain recognizes doesn't mean recognition/identification doesn't happen at all; it just happens through other mechanisms (like singing/playing that note again later).

In my case, I certainly don't have "absolute pitch" as defined by that paragraph, but if you sang something to me and asked me to play it on a trombone I could probably do it without having to fumble for a reference note. Worst-case, I can produce a reference note in my head (usually B-flat, since most brass instruments nowadays are keyed to it) and extrapolate.

And on that note:

> can be a massive benefit to a musician

I'm very doubtful about how true this is. Usually what's far more critical is relative pitch - that is, the ability to accurately recreate a pitch in relation to some arbitrary reference pitch (e.g. singing/playing a note in a chord or scale). Absolute pitch (in this specific sense, rather than the more innate/internal sense I described above) helps for music transcription, and... that's about it. Being able to sing a perfect 440Hz A does jack squat if that A's supposed to be in an F-major chord/scale.

If anything, absolute pitch recognition can make it harder to perform in an ensemble, or to perform music with a different pitch convention other than A=440 (e.g. Baroque music), or to otherwise be able to adapt one's pitch to match the actual music to be performed.

If you don't have name recognition driving candidates through the door, it can be shockingly difficult to get competent candidates. I'm talking basic senior engineer level (can be trusted to set up a web service from scratch without supervision).

Most of the candidates you see either can't pass fizz buzz (no joke), are very junior (have no practical experience building real services), have severe behavioral problems (need to be told exactly what to do, can't be trusted to own a service, etc.), or are washed up enterprise technicians who need someone to build all their scaffolding for them and can't solve simple problems if there isn't an IDE for it (.NET/etc. lifer).

The "smart" version of those archetypes often do OK at places like amazon, which provides scaffolding and oversite, but they will absolutely gut a small startup dev team.

(source: personal experience regretting startup hires who seemed "ok" when we were desperate, who subsequently left a trail of sadness and surprises in their wake through inattention, stupidity, and general failure to care)

I think this is particularly difficult for companies with non-technical founders that might lack strong technical leadership out the gate.
You could say that about literally any anecdotal observation. I’m sure you notice trends around you and generalize. In fact, if you didn’t, you would find it hard to pretty much do anything in life. In short, your comment is myopic and unhelpful.

The introduction tree is a great idea. But lobsters community is junk. If you dare have an opinion against their hivemind you get donwvoted to oblivion. It's like a clique took over.

Reddit had a similar problem with truthers taking over discourse at the beginning, luckily it went away. Perhaps because there was a popular parody account mocking them all the time (something like 9_11_was_an_inside_job), and that account retired in time when it's job was done.
