Serious question - when AngularJS 2.0 is finally released, is there any reason to leave 1.x if it works perfectly fine? I understand 1.x may not be supported and new "plugins" or what have you might not be created for it anymore, but i'm months into development of an app using 1.x and I really don't want to start over right now.
I didn't realize you quoted the number of replies, I thought HN did that automatically.

>I'll go away again

haha i never said to go away. play it like it feels. i'm biased since you were responding to my submission.
I used to get the same. I was able to help it by getting in the habit of stretching my jaw often, and shifting my neutral jaw "posture". The neutral state used to be me keeping my jaw closed, meaning bringing my teeth together (not tight enough to clench, but just enough for contact), but I retrained myself to let my jaw "hang" when in a neutral state. It's helped a lot with tinnitus, ear pressure, jaw pain, etc.

Brain fog is caused by passive acceptance of our interregnum.
The fees are low partially because of more efficient execution, but mostly because not many people use them. Nothing so far has fundamentally solved the problem.
FreeBSD's paravirtualized Xen support was a pile of crap. EC2 also had some minor quirks which I can't talk about (NDA).

Here is one example of how I use Excel to visually convey information about complex systems on a daily basis.

http://i.imgur.com/FdYVB.png

With these, we use various views to convey the information in a layered format - meaning we step through the problems with many representations to make it understandable to those not familiar with the systems/technologies etc... but are the key decision makers with respect to approval/budget/design.

In this case, we are documenting the integrations and dependencies of a range of technologies communicating over a common converged network.

I try to evolve these diagrams each time as everyone becomes more familiar with the project specifics and the over-arching language of the design.

Generally speaking, the blue squares represent work/cost/effort/support/design is needed to get the desired functionality.

This helps capture the real amount of effort and work to make an entire system function.
If their work is of sufficiently high value that the consumer is willing to pay for it, then it will survive.

Recent pixels probably earn near (but not quite) what an iOS device gets... There's still quite a lot of Qualcomm (and Broadcom) written code on the security-front-line, and I'll be honest I don't really trust it much seeing the massive oversights that previous exploits have discovered...

I suspect the focus of their engineering team is more "hardware guys kludge together driver"... And they probably have to do that because it's only the hardware guys that fully understand all the caveats and workarounds required to not trigger hardware shortcomings...
This sounds awesome. Good, affordable connectivity seems to be a basic human right. I wish it was this way everywhere. I'm in the US and can only get 1.5Mbit DSL, for which I pay 90 US dollars a month (with a basic home phone line). That's the only Internet I can get. East Coast USA.

Did you change the license? I think I stumbled upon your website on HN comment a few months ago. Didn't it be free?

Great product and an excellent demo!
When I click on a website and the first thing I see is a claim that, by using their product, I can build something in 15 minutes, I consider that company socially negative, not socially neutral.

I don't have a problem with the article itself, but this kind of stuff is really annoying. Instead of making me think "Wow!! How??" it just made me think your product is useless garbage and close the page.

if you do the maths, depth of field depends on both the aperture and the sensor size. in other words, f1 on a smaller detector doesn't give the same depth of field as on a larger detector (for an object at the same distance).

i wrote about here, but i am not sure it's very clear http://www.acooke.org/cute/DepthofFie1.html

[edit: and so, for medium format, depth of field is more pronounced...]

I've been delving into CRDTs lately, and one thing I've been wondering is if there's an implementation that is purely SQL-based. All operations and merges would happen through database queries. This may not be suitable for real-time use, but I've noticed that most CRDT implementations expect you to have the entire data structure in memory, forcing you to be clever with the way you model your data and save to disk.
By thermodynamics: energy is conserved globally so when a protein molecule relaxes to a minimum energy configuration the energy gets transferred from the protein molecule to its environment. Total energy stays the same but it is more spread out. There are dramatically more possible ways the energy could be spread out than be bunched together: so if it starts out in a bunched out state it will spread out unless there is something, usually a "conserved quantity" or quantum number that makes it impossible for the state to roam randomly across the phase space.
That's definitely interesting, but I'd have to see both codebases to make any real determination. It's plausible their Python code was extremely imperative, overly complex, and/or not idiomatic.

On the other hand, could that work without server-side code? If the logic is all done in the browser, you don't need support in your web server and you can still load pages straight from disk.
This issue can be solved with Dropbox (you can make an app which doesn't have access to the rest of the files). See above for "my ideal blogging system", it's pretty much this. I may have to add support to my blogging system for this.

I've been trying to work this one through. One possible solution, (using a hefty dose of mathematical illiteracy, that looks like one of those word problems that occasionally appears in Marilyn vos Savant's column):

base salary: $100
$100 * 1.2 = $120
$120 * (1.2 * .8) = $115.2

("It's a 20% pay cut from our pay raise, that's why you have to multiply our pay raise with our pay cut.")
I just know that I'm too lazy to make some complicated scheme work. I'd just end up with stacks of paper that I intend to scan "someday".
Does that scale? If everyone did it, would it work?

Isn't "scientific belief" is a silly oxymoron?

Not at all. At least, not if you are interested in epistemology. In fact, one common definition of knowledge is "justified true belief." Cf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justified_true_belief
I have exactly the same experience.
> Publicly bad mouthing the company you work for is definitely grounds for termination.

We aren't talking about termination on that ground though. We wouldn't have this discussion here if it was, I would actually agree with it (though I would still find it sad that the company wouldn't try to improve what an employee see as an issue).

> HR stops you from doing that.

Here's the exact quote from the comment I was answering to:

> You cannot accept a paycheck from a company, while also be trying to subvert it internally.

We weren't talking about "Publicly bad mouthing" but about "subvert it internally", or in a less threatening way "changing how the company works internally". I believe you have all the rights to do this even on its paycheck, it's about improving what the company does, which is pretty much what employees are paid for.
Are there any efforts to standardize a way to default to a dark color scheme if a website has it?
Dark mode toggles in applications and websites is kind of new (not really, but it's been popularized recently), but system-wide theming with dark themes has been around for a long time.
I’ve started using the BPme app which, while clunky, avoids having my physical card interact with the pump.

I think about the default IRIX UIs from the mid-90s[1, 2]. These were embraced by a professional subset of users that likely paid attention to detail and wanted minimal distraction from their work, however subtle it might be.

Dark UIs likely made ghosting more prominent on CRTs, either because of crosstalk on a D-SUB cable or because of "spillover" of bright elements of a UI into a nearby dark field. I agree with your sentiment that technological change has made this possible.

Tangentially, I wanted to mention a hue shift that I've noticed that that all UIs seem to flow through. I will take the evolution of Aqua for example. UIs seem to start off with some variant of lighter blue or green (10.0) that eventually iterates into a darker but more saturated form of itself (10.4). Eventually, we start getting hints of purple (10.5, 10.6). When purple starts to come through, there are really no colours to introduce and designers usually decide it's time for a UI overhaul. I would love to hear others' takes on this.

I've noticed that stories related to Chinese state censorship garner less comments in HN than stories about US or western government censorship.

Why is that? I'm not making accusations, and if people are not comfortable about talking about this in this forum that's fine.

inb4: "There's no proof, you failed to quantify your observation, which is anecdotal and all in your head." Similar such comments were made in the 1940s.
I would disagree with your assertion in the case of PV guests in Xen - they have an extremely small attack surface. The hypervisor may be "on the front line", but is a far simpler beast than the kernel.

Certainly Xen has its fair share of vulnerabilities, but vastly fewer than the kernel.
yeah, designers/programmers need to learn to spine-up, and make decisions instead of just leaving everything up to the user, even if it's just better defaults, and leaving a .ini file around for the people who desperately need to change something.

I hope they aren't planning on changing it to red. I remember in 2005, the Red Cross was going after video game companies that used a red cross on their health/medpack items in-game.
The suggestion appears to be that we should put routing logic in nginx. It doesn't seem like a great idea to me - I want my routing logic to be in the same place as mu app code, because they're pretty intertwined. I really don't see in-app routing code as a performance bottleneck.
Purely IMO, I think the consideration isn't when only a few are affected negatively within a society. Those people are already ignored due to the tyranny of the majority, and the consolidation aspects which occur as a natural outgrowth of free trade.

The issue is when large social groups, or even entire nation states are affected (in their perception) negatively by free trade. With America, this is a drastic problem, as after the period of the 50's to 80's, perceptually, there is little room to go, except down. Compared to other nations, our relative delta was larger than anywhere else, and compared favourably to the deltas of the British Empire, Rome, ect...

This is exacerbated by the fact that America is a nation populated by people with a strong streak of individualism, to the point where even national identity can be difficult. When folks are in Texas (example only for oil) and actively resist trade benefits for folks in say, North Dakota, then talking about the benefits of free trade for society as a whole is a non-starter. Head, meet wall.

I agree that policy should not be purely economic, and I wish policy in general verged far more towards the social side of the spectrum. Unfortunately, our values in America are quite often, "screw that guy, I want mine."
I've raised the same concerns before, but PG's opinion on the topic is that the downvote arrow is there to indicate disagreement and if people want to kneejerk downvote something, they're right to do so.

This is the opposite of Reddit where, in theory, the downvote is not meant to be used to indicate disagreement but rather low quality comments (not that that works at all).

The problem is that both HN and Reddit hide comments that get too downvoted (dead/hidden respectively). And also re-ordered to the bottom (further hidden). That means that getting downvoted has a real consequence, so unpopular opinions are pushed out of HN's dialog and the site becomes a uniculture (just like Reddit).

Then HN has flag kills which are like "super downvotes." I've seen a lot of perfectly reasonable comments flag killed for no real reason (just turn on dead in your settings). In particular when they're flying in the face of the site's culture/popular opinion.

In an ideal world people who run these sites need to sit down and make up their minds, for real, if downvotes are for disagreement OR to flag "bad" comments. If they're just for disagreement then stop hiding/killing low rated comments, that makes no sense...

Also the karma score on your profile (and unlocking functionality) is a massive hornets nest that has many of the same issues described above.

Ultimately the point of the downvote and the punishment/rewards on the site are completely at odds with one another. People just haven't thought it through at all, unless their ultimate goal is to wind up with some kind of uniculture.
Yeah, that's basically a predefined end-of-year bonus consisting of an extra month worth of salary. Some companies even talk of a '13th and 14th month' to indicate a 2-month bonus. It's kind of silly, but for some reason it has become common parlance.

> Why should I do anything worthy?

Because your future doesn't rely on you having a job now, it relies on you continually improving and sharpening your skills. Does your current job give you that? No, it does the opposite; it kills you. By getting out of it, you're doing your future self a favor.

I was kinda half-way there. I just quit my day job last week.

First advice: don't rush back into hacking. Give yourself sometime to cool off, just lay back and relax (metaphorically). Do whatever things you enjoy in life, maybe your thing is watching shows/movies, reading books, going out, get into something interesting like music, martial arts, whatever.

> But I can't feel that it matters. I have a job that pays me well. Why should I do more? I'm terrified that I've lost my answer to that question.

1. Your job is rotting your brain. I think you already know that.

2. You don't have to have a startup idea that works to quit. It's not about having a particular idea. It's about hacking and solving problems.

I'm sure you can regain your enthusiasm after some relaxation time, and when you do, just hack on stuff, don't worry about having to do any real project.

"Real stuff" comes when you just casually go about solving problems.

At the very least, by working on problems you find interesting, in your own time, you can refresh your hacking muscles, gain experience, get more stuff to put on your resume, and then find a better job.
However, salary usually climbs fastest in the first few years after starting, so if they are both at 115K at some point, the next year the PhD may be at 126, while the undergrad get stuck at 118. This difference only increases and the end-of-career opportunities for the PhD are also larger: on average, he can attain jobs for which he will be preferred above the undergrad, who gets stuck at a lower rung. Of course, this is all 'on average'.
But at least I couldn't quickly find any info about what it is (by looking through the page). There really should be a link "What is a WakeMate?".

Yeah, that's what we do. We never check passwords into VCS. Sorry if my original post sounded differently.

> But the Amish did not make a conscious decision to refrain from watching TV. No, the Amish shied away from electricity because of a religious belief that was in place before Television even existed.

That is not correct.

They evaluate all technology based on the impact it will have to their family life. They don't have a religious belief against electricity.

They believe electricity would be harmful to the social fabric of their life. And they are probably right.

TV - even if not based on grid electricity (solar power for example) would certainly harm their social fabric.

This is a positive development overall--likely in response to pressure from Senator Leahy, who chairs (or is about to have chaired?) the Senate Judiciary Committee--but a lot of things make no sense.

- Supreme Court documents will be free. That's great. But district and appellate documents will still be $0.10 per page? Why? Both are public information. Arguably if Supreme Court documents are more important, then they should be more valuable, and therefore more expensive. This is totally inconsistent and no explanation is given.

- Taxpayers now have to foot the bill (many tens of millions and counting) for "NextGen" CM/ECF and this supposed separate system for the Supreme Court that will not be available until 2016. So far the only next-generation feature released as part of NextGen CM/ECF is the ability to have one username and a password you set yourself. For this we have paid many, many millions of dollars over about five years.

- Roberts cites procurement considerations to justify the totally unacceptable delay in adopting technology. Yet where are the RFPs for NextGen CM/ECF and the Supreme Court's docketing system? Why, they're nowhere to be found, either because they don't exist or they're not publicly available.

- Roberts argues that the courts have an obligation to avoid jumping on technological bandwagons too quickly. Perhaps that's prudent. He fails, however, to address courts using technology as a weapon against the poor. See http://www.aarongreenspan.com/writing/20130217/petitioning-r....

- Paper filing will still be required. Why?

Fundamentally Roberts' views on technology are a reflection of the views of the profession that created him. Lawyers generally do not believe that they are subject to the same forces as the rest of the world, technological forces included. Roberts posits in his report that technologies "come and go." Well, so do useless (and often harmful), self-important overpriced middlemen who complicate processes that would frequently otherwise be just fine without them.

"
mean survival rates were calculated to be 62 percent to ventilator weaning, 46 percent to ICU discharge, 43 percent to hospital discharge, and 30 percent to 1 year after discharge

Based on a five year study of men put on ventilators after acute respiratory failure. 62% survived the ventilator, but only 43% made it out of the hospital and only 30% survived one year.

Age, cause of respiratory failure and length of time on the ventilator were the specific influences on the outcome
