I can definitely see it from your perspective: not only does it take less time to write one article rather than three [and probably less pressure as well!], it gives you content for your website (not to mention a steady stream of visitors wanting to see your content, rather than just one big group of visitors then nothing).

From my perspective though, it is unfortunate: I'm interested in the story, but I don't know if I will be interested enough to check back a few weeks from now to see the updates, perhaps because I forget the URL, perhaps because I don't see a post on HN about it, or perhaps because I just forget. I also think I'm spoiled by the internet: I want things now! :)
This deal sounds very similar to MS-Yahoo deal. Abandon your existing technology, rely on competitors tech and expect growth.

We have seen how MS-Yahoo deal played out this week. It won't be long before Nokia realized what they got into. By then, it'll be too late.
I just looked at prgmr (I hate that name), and it looks like you can get a really really tiny VPS for $48 for a year. That's silly cheap.

I'm teaching a couple of the users on thingist python, and I've been wanting to give them accounts on a box so that they could have a real-world sandbox to play in...$48/yr lets me afford that pretty freaking easily.

prgmr sounds freakishly awesome. What was that site the other day? showoff.io or something? $5/mo for a VPS vs $5/mo for a dynamic DNS updater/NAT traversal mechanism.

(Just waiting for my instance to spin up now)
Apologize for the inconvenience if circumstances beyond your control bring down your website, just like you would in the much more common scenario that circumstances totally under your control bring down your website.
You're right, I hadn't. Fair enough.

Hi! I’m a software developer with about 5 years of experience. I’m currently a participant at the at the Recurse Center, digging a bit deeper into technical areas that I’m interested in and working on becoming a better programmer. Prior to that, I worked at Microsoft for 4 years on client libraries and data pipelines for the identity platform.

I’m currently looking for part-time work or contract roles.
What matters more, I believe, is wealth rather than income. It’s been awhile since I’ve read it, but The Meritocracy Trap outlines the case that wealth can be less transitory.
They can be solved, but they often aren't. A lot of things that happen implicitly and organically in person need to be explicitly planned and scheduley in a virtual environment.
It sounds like you're implying that paying for Netflix and using bittorrent is mutually exclusive. If the content on Netflix were better (it has everything you would ever want to watch) and less restrictive (want to watch offline?), and content creators were fairly compensated, why would a rational consumer chose anything else and why would a content creator not advocate for this scheme?

I love streaming subscriptions for the convenience factor but I find they fall far short of their promise due to "incomplete" content and restrictions of artificial scarcity-and I say this as a supporter of these services and the model used.

The profits are still largely going to the middlemen, and from all indication (that I can see), the content creators are still being shafted.
Many Word-haters don't know how good Word is, simply because they are biased for "political/religious" reasons.

It is OK to be a LaTeX-lover and Word-nolover, but you don't have to be a Word-hater if you don't use Word.
Why does the data plan matter ?

The Moto G is under 250 unlocked and the first gen is one year old. The 4S went for a bit less than 700, is now 3 years old and resells for roughly 200. I don't think comparing the performances of the two under the most recent OSes available is biased.
For me it was my first autoplaying video with sound in a pop-under.

Fuck that. You pull that shit, your whole industry can just go and get fucked. If you need to pull that shit to live, you need to fucking die.

This laptop has 8GB because Firefox with ABP is really fat. It's worth every byte. I use FF for personal stuff, Chromium for work; occasionally I load a non-work page in Chromium and am bloody horrified at what the web looks like with ads.
Please clarify: Why are random pivots not practical? And why do you say there are no truly random quicksorts? Because pseudorandom numbers aren't really random, or for some other reason?
The number of new follows I get isn't huge, but it's enough that I won't check each one for content. I'm sure I'm not the only person who wishes that follow mails contained the last 5 tweets from the follower... that'd help things immensely.
Hmm, the point of torcetrapib was to increase HDL cholesterol, not reduce cholesterol. Most likely, it increased mortality via totally off target effects (see Rader's 2008 NEJM review on the topic).

Looking at coronary calcification is no better than looking at lipoprotein fractions; both are intermediate endpoints. I see no reason to trust calcification if you don't trust LDL. Reduction in LDL correlates so well with reduction in mortality (statin trials) that fibrates got licensed on those grounds without showing reduced mortality. That is a problem, but not the fault of statins. It's an FDA-got-bought-out-by-pharma sort of problem.

To reject the overwhelmingly data-backed LDL hypothesis, I'd need to see something much more compelling, I must say.

Edit: your pubmed article addresses insulin resistance. Hypercholesterolemia is usually independent of that. In fact, high LDL is not even part of the metabolic syndrome... It seems as though you and I are not so much in disagreement as we are talking about different things entirely. I've been focusing on high cholesterol.
The "problem" with node.js is that it's single threaded, so you need to be careful not to block that thread with long-running operations. Erlang has a scheduler built-in so you don't have to deal with that yourself.
I came to this conclusion over a year ago in the only blog post I ever wrote before realizing blogging wasn't my thing. http://resopollution.com/blog/2009/02/3-misconceptions-about...

Essentially, it is better to have a fast snappy app with poor design over a high-latency app with great UI design.

Users subconsciously attribute delays caused by bad UI design to themselves, but if you have latency, you are screwed b/c that's delay is subconsciously attributed to your software.

In the end, users can learn to navigate a bad design quickly as long as the page loads are fast, thus making latency the most important factor in usability.
I pass no moral judgment on frequent tweeters. But given that I only follow folks who tweet infrequently, any frequent tweeters quickly dominate my twinbox. So that approach doesn't work for me. I do make exceptions for transient events if they're interesting.

I <3 < 3 tweets per day.
Ahh the forced upgrade treadmill one must run on.
Are you arguing that anybody who is successful is by definition doing everything right?

Maybe they are successful because they do more rights than wrongs. Or they were in the right place at the right time. Or because they lacked a better competitor. The history of IT is littered with wildly successful yet sub-optimal companies.

In 1967 the the house estimated that Medicare would cost $9 Billion a year by 1990. The real number would turn out to be $67 Billion.

Every week or so the rate of the oil leak is revised upwards. What was once a spill has turned into a bad spill and now is being called a disaster. This seems consistent with the way most government estimates work.

Ironically it is almost as if we need an independent body with no power to spend money but with complete auditing power to get the public actual numbers.
The context of this thread is creating a Posterous-style email validation. Posterous does not use either of the two solutions that you suggest.

It's OK that DKIM is not widely deployed because the logic falls back to other mechanisms when the DKIM header is not present. DKIM is deployed on GMail and Yahoo Mail, so it is worth doing. Replay attacks are easy to defeat by not posting duplicate content. It's probably a good idea do to dup detection to handle the case where the user accidentally sends the message twice.
Ruby on Rails. Hard to say if it's the "most fun", but it allows you to dive in and start coding quite quickly. Far nicer to use than PHP, which I did in college and hated it.

The reference is to a piece in NYT that led Sacca to admit to sexist behavior[1].

The allegations are mild compared to some others, but I still think you should re-examine your belief that you can assess someone's integrity when you don't know them personally at all.

I could see that happening if two candidates are at the offer stage and you delayed your acceptance by negotiating and the other person accepted right away.
I was populating the board with jobs for companies I scored recruiting contracts with.

These contracts made building the JobPosts and driving traffic worth my time(contract = collect a sizable a fee when someone you refer to a position gets hired).

JobPosts drive the organic traffic to JobBoards, so make sure you take SEO into consideration when posting.

I also started with a much lower rate to post on the JobBoard, never free, but as low as $29 at one point. As the traffic grew, so did the price. Now a JobPost costs $349.
> Do you plan to write and update the JSON Schema by hand?

Currently, yes, unfortunately. ;____; We've talked about doing it in an intermediate format, like YAML, which is slightly less painful, but....ugh. Years ago I wrote a very badly-coded-but-essentially-functional tool called Panino, which converted Markdown-to-JSON: https://github.com/gjtorikian/panino-docs/tree/master/lib/pa....

I see that some people have picked up on that and ran along with it, too: https://github.com/apiaryio/mson. So there might be something there to explore.

2. I've never looked into either. I know Swagger is used by several companies, like Twitter, but API Doc is new to me.
i use the caps lock key all the time (though you wouldn't know it reading my HN comments...)

any time i need to type more than 3 capital letters in a row, i hit caps lock. i type at 140+ wpm so holding down shift while typing reduces my speed by a significant amount. it's easier to hit caps lock and then hit it again when i'm done. it doesn't take any time.

examples of needing caps lock:

$LONG_VARIABLE_OR_CONST_NAMES

IMPORTANT NOTES IN MEMOS!!! to myself and others

i use it at least a half dozen times a day.
You nailed it. I was going to mention the EMP stuff, but backed away.

A high altitude nuclear detonation above the continental US is the first strike protocol for any nation-state that would try to attack us. Even then, a lot of our military's core command and control infrastructure has been hardened to withstand such an EMP for decades--as it was known that a high altitude detonation over US soil was the Soviet's plan for a first strike...That is why Cuba was such a big deal. Still, the EMP would completely decimate every non-hardened electrical system.
So are ISPs and related networks as it pertains to this 'kill switch'
Ad popups - Separate windows with ads based on your browsing history or even whatever they find installed on your system.

Ad injection - Putting ads on web pages they didn't write, such as Google search results.

Ad substitution - Replacing ads on web sites with their own ads.

Cookie stuffing - Injecting or clobbering referral cookies for sites like Amazon so that they get an undeserved commission on things you buy.
Conduit is a billion dollar company, with a successful business pimping installers and toolbars, and is Israeli. Babylon is just a few hundred millions, doing mostly the same (they started out with a very nice dictionary system, but that doesn't make much money, especially after google translate). Cydoor, that ran the ads inside Kazaa and programs of the day, was also Israeli. iMesh, if I'm not mistaken, as also Israeli.

I'm sure there are larger malware operations, but the Israeli adware economy is probably the largest "legit" one.
Lets not forget secure boot, and how that alienated developers and computer enthusiast. That and the NSA agreement.
Those who don't remember WAP are doomed to reinvent it, it seems.
I don't understand why you would want to have a regulated exchange for a currency that's designed to be deregulated. That seems counter-productive for the entire BitCoin community.

Seriously, very cool of you.
In my case they built in a back loaded effective salary increase rather than being perfectly flat. Cost of living perhaps?
E.g. your example becomes TC (285, 292, 305, 318) or something similar.
+1 for moving flag to discussion pages. I had pages of posts flagged I never knew I flagged.
> This is a complex set of laws yes but it is also detailed multi-generational documentation of all the shit people have tried to pull. You don't just throw that out because it has grown complex. Like all necessary complexity, you isolate and manage it, not spray it all over the end user.

Who says that complexity is necessary?

Most of that complexity just grew out of other complexity.

If you have a simpler tax code to begin with, you don't need to patch all the work-arounds people found.

Of course, that's much easier said that politically done. Simpler taxes are popular as an idea, but rarely when you get into the specifics.
Anything involving the phrase "better price" is a regulatory sensitivity, so please forgive the specificity of this answer. It's possible but not guaranteed that both the buyer and seller can get a better price for micro and macro reasons. On the micro front, we're a uniform clearing price auction with prices out to the sixth decimal place (NB: this is not sub-penny pricing—we only accept orders with prices in increments of $0.01). That makes it possible for buyers and sellers to split the spread, with auction dynamics dictating the split. Also, Expressive Bidding allows market makers to provide liquidity on a hedged basis, potentially incentivizing them to post more aggressive sizes and prices.

On the macro front, we're focused on finding Pareto (more accurately Kaldor–Hicks) efficient outcomes missed by simpler auction formats. Imagine that a buyer expects to move the market 5bps while executing, and a seller expects the same. If agency issues prevent them from finding each other outside of OneChronos (perhaps they only have 2bps of statistical expectation) and they trade on OneChronos at the bid/mid/offer, the reader can decide if that constitutes getting a better price than other markets or not. Multiunit auctions make market impact/execution risk known pre-trade and reduce uncertainty for counterparties, potentially reducing the cost of liquidity.
Usually but not always. You may get SIGILL if your machine has error detection and correction and your program is executing from a bad page.
I've only seen this on third party sites. Never in direct sites. I've definitely seen cheaper prices on third party rather than direct sites on more than one occasion.
This article seems to suggest that shareholders are primarily concerned with board members who can help them make more money.
The Fediverse (which Mastodon is just one particular implementation of) is shockingly healthy right now. I surmise that it will look quite a bit different once you have, oh, a bbc.com implementing its underlying protocol and pumping out content onto it. At that point who knows what'll happen.
Open-source information isn't export controlled but technical data is. You can imagine this causes alot of consternation with standards organizations b/c that line isn't exactly clear. I was just speaking to legal counsel at GSMA and their response was "no one knows what the law is unless the government says we violated it".
Yeah but

A) military gear is more than automatic weapons. Sometimes they send out things harder to come by than guns to police departments.

B) This scheme costs less than pennies on the dollar.
Great work and a great article!

Would love to read any suggestions on how to design/produce a sheet of greenhouse foil that fits snugly over the dome.
There's also notmuch.[1] It has an Emacs frontend, but people use it with mutt as well, and there exist a bunch of standalone frontends. Not sure why everyone seems to know mu and not notmuch. I wonder if anyone has done a thorough comparison.

(Looks like someone has done a minor comparison[2])

That’s a good point about Linux. The GPL boilerplate already includes:

> This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

The author including that line is saying “despite what you think this software may do (creating implied warranties and the like), it doesn’t matter. I can’t be held liable for your usage of this code/software.” Would forced liability mean open source licenses like the GPL wouldn’t be able to have those sentences mean anything?
Looking forward to trying this. I noticed that the graphs on the portfolio page only go back to the date of creation. Are you planning to add support for viewing historical data? EDIT: it seems to go back to some arbitrary data a few months ago. Can't quite tell how that date is chosen.

Also FYI that I didn't receive a confirmation email after signing up for the waitlist.
You're relying on anecdotes, and the reliability of anecdotes isn't increased just because the subject matter is harder to get good information on.

> I have not met a single human being who believes in execution but only humanely. I have met in excess of 50 people who simply conflate suffering and death and simplify the justification

The very best this statement can say is that inside your bubble, this is how your memory represents the aggregate opinions you've encountered w.r.t. the death penalty.
"Over the last two decades, law enforcement agencies across the United States have been obtaining more and more sophisticated surveillance technologies to collect data. Technologies such as networked cameras, automated license plate readers, and gunshot detection are deployed around the clock, as are the tools to process this data, such as predictive policing software and AI-enhanced video analytics. The last five years have seen a distinct trend in which police have begun deploying all of this technology in conjunction with one another. The technologies, working in concert, are being consolidated and fed into physical locations called Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs). These high-tech hubs, filled with walls of TV monitors and computer workstations for sworn officers and civilian analysts, not only exploit huge amounts of data, but also are used to justify an increase in surveillance technology through new 'data-driven' or 'intelligence-led' policing strategies.

As part of the Atlas of Surveillance project, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and students from the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno have identified more than 80 RTCCs across the United States, with heavy concentrations in the South and the Northeast. In this report, we highlight the capabilities and controversies surrounding 7 of these facilities. As this trend expands, it is crucial that the public understands how the technologies are combined to collect data about people as they move through their day-to-day lives."
Doesn't this discriminates against people who are on visas who can't accept remuneration from anyone other than their current employers..? They then either have to do the same project for free or decline to continue the interview process.

Drought in Taiwan is a problem as well.

"Taiwan's chip industry under threat as drought turns critical

TAIPEI -- Taiwan's tech manufacturers fear their output is under threat from the island's worst drought in decades, risking more turmoil for global supply chains already strained by shortages of semiconductors and other key components.

Taiwan's government will on Thursday further tighten water use in several cities that are home to a cluster of important manufacturers. Plants in Taoyuan, Taichung, Hsinchu and Miaoli will have to cut consumption by up to 11%, on top of a 7% cut requested last month."

The idea is to make a community for tech startup founders to share tips and collectively improve our odds of getting traction for our startups. We'd love any help to make this community work.
Not every feature, typically there will be a physical team that will lay out a gate library, data paths and srams for any particular process - but the bulk of the gates are laid out by CAD tools from high level languages using gates from the gate library

Quote from OA

"Instead of solving the situation, they add more and more advanced tools on top of existing software development chain..."

I'm wondering if those layers of more advanced tools could be re-written piecemeal so that they pointed to a more rational underlying system? Sort of jacking the house up to work on the foundations?

The article says the 3 month suspension without pay will end up costing the professor $15,000. So the professor is only $60,000 per annum? That seems hard to believe?
One thing I don't understand -- in this time of laptops, tablets and ubiquitous internet access (whether in-office wi-fi or the mobile broadband), why do we still have this discussion?

Are there any companies out there who have a heterogeneous office layout, with open-space areas, single-person rooms and anything in between which could then be used by anyone to their own preference? I would like to see a setup where I'm able to work together with my team in a small-group environment in the morning, and then retreat to a single-person office in the afternoon. In most companies, there is very little reason to be bound to a single desk throughout the day.

I can imagine such a workplace, with team leads/managers being responsible to coordinating their teams when it comes to workplaces, and ideally the company would monitor the usage and constantly adapt and improve the workplace accordingly.
