Forgot about the NDA. I've been approached with that many times and each time I've flat out refused to sign it.
I think the author is trying to say that half is cycletrack and half is what we'd think of as sharrows. He's not saying 50% of roads have cycling facilities, but that of the roads that do have cycling facilities, there's an even split between integrated and separated variants.
I saw that, and I found the answer unsatisfactory.

Look, this is not a Mac vs. PC issue. It is merely Mac's target demographic not being designers any more. It has not been designers for a very long time.

Mac displays are not very good. Their color range is poor. It is the middle-top end of consumer displays, but it is by no means a professional display. I wouldn't even dream of doing anything requiring accurate colors on an Mac display. Their 30" is about as relevant as Xserve. It is not their target demographic any more.

I am not knocking Mac hardware. Their mobile hardware is the best on the market. However, the perception that Macs are design machines came from when Photoshop was a Mac exclusive. This has not been the case for a very long time and I would say the PC version of Photoshop is significantly better than the Mac version as it stands. I have a MacBook, but I also have a PC largely because I use Photoshop many hours each day and Photoshop on OS X is bad.

Color management, besides being supported by Windows, is more applicable to print design and pretty much irrelevant when it comes to design viewed on a screen.
I don't think this has anything to do with the Opensearch.xml file, from what I've seen Google is also doing this manually.

Previously they have been using the title from DMOZ but, Check out our startup in the SERPS "StoreCrowd" the branded search returns the brand name in the results. However our title reads more like "Coupon Codes, Deals & Discounts for Online Stores"

We launched an Australian version with an optimised title tag but it appears in branded search as "StoreCrowd Australia".

Neither sites are in DMOZ nor do we use the Opensearch protocol.
The problem with pagerank is that it's exceedingly hard to a/b test.

There's multiple factors involved in this but here's a few of the obvious ones:
For most sites your pagerank is typically determined by your root. (Unless google detects you're a hosting company like blogspot) So if you try to a/b test your leaf pages their pagerank is completely domainated by the root.
Pagerank is not that frequently updated. (Depending on how much traffic you have.)
There aren't individual and seperate googlebots to test against to seperate pageranks in tests so creating clean tests is very hard because Google very often updates their algorithms. (Try looking up ranking shuffles and you'll see what I mean.. every time there's a shuffle there's a furious scramble to figure out what changed and why and how to counteract it.)
Even if you could a/b test would you really want to? For now, a successful business only has to stay slightly ahead of the curve to trounce its competitors. Sure, a/b testing might get you valuable knowledge if your goal is to be an SEO consultant (well, one worth actually paying anyway, a lot of "SEO consultants" in my opinion read a few blog posts a couple of years ago and have been charging for that as gospel ever since) but if you're a company with a product it's probably going to cost you more money than it earns.
Which wasn't that hard to use unsugared. This move also signals to the community that bcrypt is considered a best practice, important enough that it's included by default. Rails benefits from this.
How about stop overpaying clueless shithead CEO's like this one?
The "me, first" culture encourages too many job changes and companies are now codependent enablers

Silly old labor! Imagine the silliness of wanting to earn as much as you can by exchanging your time and skill for more money at place A rather than less money at place B!

Of course, management would never support a self-centered, "me first" culture... (move along now, nothing to see here...)
I had the pleasure of working for one of the board members of TSI. I'm very excited about this project. Great to see it mentioned here!
Why would they want to reduce corruption when it serves them so well?
Vex, as in vertex. Bulging outwards. I think the proper way to remember those (I've struggled with them too) is actually use them a lot. For example, some mathematicians study convex geometry, which is a meaningful subject on its own.

I guess that the point was, Haskell is still developing patterns for solving common problems. Many of the uses of monads could be considered design patterns.
I agree. There is a disturbing abuse of actual issues, primarily from the progressive far-left, where words like 'justice' are used in a vague manner to tie topics like climate change to racism, alleged economic oppression, and other unrelated topics. This is true of the Justice Democrats' platform (the PAC behind AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, etc.), as well as fringe groups like Extinction Rebellion.

For example see Green New Deal details, which pushes for "justice" and equity (equality of outcome) and other policies unrelated to climate change, at https://www.factcheck.org/2019/02/the-facts-on-the-green-new...:

> Promote justice and equity by stopping current, preventing future, and repairing historic oppression of indigenous peoples, communities of color, migrant communities...

For another example see https://extinctionrebellion.us/demands-principles, which asks for reparations:

> We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, ...

As such, to me it does seem like these issues are being taken over and misappropriated as carriers for unrelated policies, in order to build a deceptive coalition or false consensus on the more controversial points.

It’s kind of disingenuous to compare Apple’s search ad feature for just promoting an app inside the App Store, with Google’s Adsense online advertising platform which is multi-platform with video, text, and image ads, even audio at one point in the past, on multiple device types being so ubiquitous it’s almost hard to get away from them.
I really don't understand why. There seems to be a bit of a keeping-up-with-the-Jones effect

The industry strongly incentivises individual engineers to make decisions that will ensure the latest buzzwords appear on their CVs - far more strongly than it incentivises making sound decisions for their current organisation.
Have you come across Nakama? https://heroiclabs.com/nakama. It's available as a paid service, or free to self host. It integrates nicely with engines like Unity / Unreal, but is equally usable for a browser based game.

> Mainstream economics says that monetary intervention is necessary to "stabilize" the economy, as measured by metric X Y or Z. Who benefits from that stability?

The people who lose absolutely everything they've ever worked for in the event of a sustained recession. They tend not to be rich, nor comfortable with the rival Austrian solution of waiting it out because if wages drop low enough the rich might eventually deign to act by unburying their gold and investing in capital formation and job creation again.

> it's incredibly infuriating that they can't fucking put two and two together and understand that the gap is the social cost of their stability measures

It's incredibly frustrating when the school of economics most founded by a man who stormed out of a meeting of the right wing Mont Pelerin society screaming "you're all a bunch of socialists" for discussing possible solutions to income equality masquerades as egalitarian. Other economists can and do discuss causes of and solutions to inequality, including establishing the fact "the rich get richer" was a truism when gold standards were everywhere. Austrian economics doesn't even acknowledge the possibility of "social cost", rejects the possibility of making meaningful claims about some people needing a dollar more than others and wants to set a floor on how much of the future economy the 1% control by ensuring their 'sound money' is still good for that share of future economic growth even if they impede that growth by withdrawing it from circulation.

But yes, it's very good at scapegoating the Fed as the root of all evil as its oil baron funded adherents join often successful lobbying efforts against every single policy that might make working class people's lives less uncomfortable.

> Money is being temporarily created and lent

What is your definition of temporary? QE 1/2/3 were each supposed to be temporary. But each one was never enough, and fed smoothly into the next. Then they finally tried reducing their balance sheet and the repo market blew up. Then "Not QE" repo support was supposed to last two weeks. Then only a few months. Now "only" a year, and at a trillion dollars overnight and half that in 14 day operations. How certain are you that at year's end, overnight repo support will be less than $1T? On which track record of correct predictions from central bankers do you base this belief?

Since 2008, there's not a single Fed dot plot that has been even remotely accurate even six months out. SIX MONTHS. These people have absolutely zero credibility. They lied to you about the duration of QE 1/2/3, they lied to you about the duration of ZIRP, they lied to you about the direction and duration of rate hikes, they lied to you about repo market support amount and duration. During all this, they steadily changed their mandate from "price stability", to "some inflation", to "2% inflation", to "2% symmetric inflation", to "greater than 2% symmetric inflation".

But this time, with QE4, they're super cereal pinky swear scouts honor giving you every reason to believe that it's temporary.

Okay.
Or rational where ICU beds and ventilators would only be used for those with a chance of survival.

Tying up resources on an 82yo with two underlying health conditions is not rational.
Well, as written in another comment: A brand new $4000 MacBook Pro will come with a lousy 720p front facing camera, while some used smartphone for $200 might be able to provide you with a better image quality.
Re outdoor seating: I'm only trying to suggest that I was able to find viable answers under very difficult circumstances with significant constraints. I was very poor and very ill at the time.

I'm not actually trying to suggest that this is the one and only acceptable gold standard answer, though I do think there is room for using it more often than happens in places I have been.

Surely, the world can find answers that work. We just need to make it our business to do that.

I also have a lot of dietary restrictions. Again: I'm trying to convey details about the business model, not about the specific food type per se.

Good for you. You are obviously a power-user and any restriction placed on MSIE will not really affect you as I assume you are using some other browser anyway.

The fact remains that XP is almost a decade old, and just because your OEM paid $20 for XP 9 years ago, does not entitle you to having free support, patches and new APIs backported to XP forever.

Microsoft has officially ended regular support for Windows XP and are now only providing patches/bug-fixes while on extended support until 2014.

Windows XP might work for you, even under these conditions, but don't delude yourself into thinking it isn't outdated just because it works. When the vendor stops supporting it, it is outdated.

Unless you are running on a machine with less than 1GB ram, I see no reason to cling on to XP.
oh c'mon, the post was hilarious. I think the HN community is a little too serious sometimes. I definitely got a chuckle or two reading this. And while not entirely accurate, I think the general points still remain valid.

The HN community reminds me of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, anyone know what I'm talking about?
and frankly, I don't mdoubt the statement

You don't doubt the statement of an unnamed "petroleum engineer" which got quoted on some guy's blog?

Honestly I have no idea what the upsides and downsides of oil dispersants are, but these things are rarely as clear-cut as this guy wants to imply.
Current researchers believe that language influences thought to some extent, so speaking Esperanto in your business might be an interesting way to promote lateral thinking.

If you try it, you should share your results. Do your employees become more creative, do they treat customers differently? Or does it impede problem solving and employee retention?

Lots of really interesting info here on how language influences thought (and even a PG 'Blub' mention): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity
My point was that "research" dates back well before the 17th century. If you insist upon research meaning "scientific research" the scientific method goes back to at least Aristotle. Scientific standards were different at different points in time - you appear to have drawn the line at the 17th century.

But I believe the alchemists who were working on elixirs for eternal life both in the Western world and in ancient China (pre-Aristotle) were performing a type of research as well in that they presumably used some sort of trial and error to determine the efficacy of their elixirs and modified their behavior based on the results. That is, I do not believe that they would continue to repeatedly administer an elixir that caused immediate death in the unshaken belief that it was truly an elixir for immortality. Such a process of trial and error constitutes "research" in my opinion, although it would have been primitive research by our standards.
On the iPad or iPhone, just zoom in.
I think that is true in the case of forEach loops. However there are plenty of other situations in which the lack of lambdas has made something simple far more complicated. One example is the Strategy Pattern. With lambdas it's a fairly simple thing. Without lambdas there are a bunch of hoops you have to jump through.

Additionally, I feel that lambdas enable constructs that are much clearer and easier to reason about. Consider the case where you want to transform ever element in a list and produce a new list. Without the map function (which depends on lambdas) the logic wouldn't be that bad, you would create an empty list and append each element ad they are processed in a for loop. However, the intent of your code is less clear. Add in filtering and the intention of the code in your for loop ends up quite a bit harder to understand compared to a fairly straightforward select and map.
Agreed on the color scheme, the dark grey give me the impression I'm visiting a cancer survivor site or something similar. If your technology is aimed at improving people's health, you want to build up a positive, cheerful tone with your site, which to me at least would mean brighter colors.
That's a tough one. Persistence and lucky timing could help if you can't get a direct and personal introduction. Till you get the introduction it will all be about persistence.
Would you have provided an API if they had asked?
I find the inside the app to be easy for an intro but fundamentally limiting. I've always been excited by technology that features common, expandable data stores...

OpenDoc from Apple years ago featured some of this. BeOs's file system had some as well but it still gave you a hierarchical file system. WebOS has it some. The Newton had it. And I'm sure there are tons more examples that I never came across or don't come to mind now.

The problem w/ standard shared data storage for applications is that everyone has to agree on what a contact is or you need to be able to add additional data to it that other applications could tap into. Getting everyone to agree on formats, having them hold up over time etc is... problematic. Still, I hold out hope that pooled data storage will come into being.
All these game bundles are so confusing. I can't even keep track of how many times I've bought which games already :)
95%? Would you like to back that number up with anything?

Even if I grant you that arbitrary statistic, it says nothing about the state of the selection developers have for open source projects. If 5% of all open source projects are good, that leaves an enormous quantity of good open source projects. What languages do you code in?

Here's the full definition that you cherry picked from:

(1) the term “international terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State;

B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

(C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum;

So, under that criminal code that you quoted, were the actions on Capitol Hill international terrorism?
Why is almost every spacecraft design in reality and sci-fi “pointed” like airplanes and sea ships, as if it’s only going to move in one direction on one plane?

I’m guessing it’s because of the need to go through our atmosphere first.

Maybe, but my enthusiasm for DSLs in ruby has diminished a lot in the 6+ years I've been doing ruby work. DSLs don't compose well and it's usually easier to learn a new api than yet another new mini-language.
I apologise for the unnecessary harshness of my previous post. The service you propose would probably be very useful for some people.
However the service would be fundamentally broken for people who turn off their devices or let them run out of battery or don't have an internet connection at the time they decide they want to access a particular file. Automatic syncing at the earliest possible opportunity (sync-on-save) is the best solution I can see.
So?...

Android was an acquisition.
Wasn't Google planning (or had in beta?) a voice service before buying Grandcentral? It just seems that when you get to the size of Google, if you see a market that you want to get into and that has an easy to acquire, quality product currently being created, why not buy it? You get the double bonus of a working product and some talent.

$/sqf is a poor measure of rental costs. Because a 400sf apartment in NY is not 1/2 of the cost of a 800sf apartment in NY.

A big difference is that when you protest in the streets, you take up one person's worth of space. So you need a lot of people to make an effective street protest.

But when you have your computer support a DDoS, it's generating, say, a thousand times more traffic than you would if you were normally visiting that site. And you don't even have to do anything once you start it. I would argue that if you organized 10 million people to repeatedly refresh their page on a site, that would be ok. They're doing the same thing that people who genuinely want to visit the site do (opening the site in a browser). It would take a ton of people to be effective, and it requires recurring effort.

But when you use the leverage that computers give to make it take orders of magnitude fewer people and no recurring work, it's too easy for a small group to be disruptive. If a few thousand KKK members used Anonymous's technology to DDoS the NAACP website, would you be ok with that?

One of my favorites: "What was the last unit test you wrote, and what did it test and why?"

If you just ask a question about whether they do unit testing, you'll get a suitably vague and chirpy response, but specifics will normally get you a clearer answer - usually starting with a few seconds of embarrassed shuffling in their seat while they wrack their brains :>
