The life cycle of a pop-psych news story:

1. Respectable paper comes out in respectable journal. Author's institution notes that the research could be spun to sound interesting to the general public, so they send out a press release.

2. First round of over-sensationalization, in the sciencey-news sector of the media.

3. One week later, the bottom-feeding media gets a hold of the story via a vague skimming of the over-sensationalized version, and sensationalizes it even more.

4. For the next forty years some randomly twisted version of the article becomes "common knowledge".

Yes, but who's idea was it?
The linked article (http://www.armytimes.com/news/2010/12/army-smart-phones-for-...) is a great read, Well researched, well written, and chock-full of information.

It's also a pleasure to see the level of 'thinking through' that's being reported (for e.g. they're even considering setting up their own equivalent of the App Store!)
Classic example of bad popular science writing. Linkbait title. What is effect size? What was sample size?

I wonder if the HN guidelines could use a line or two on criteria to use when deciding whether or not to submit a science story.
Thanks, I see it now on the left side, but it blends right in with the background. Was it there on the homepage the whole time? I'm using FF4.
Once you get into the world networks with multiple OC192 connections all it takes is a little math to show Verizon still makes money from most heavy users. The marginal cost of your 5 to 25MB/s slice of bandwidth you use is just not that expensive especially if they are also selling you cable and or phone service.

PS: For a huge ISP peaking 10mb for 2.4 hours at the worse time of the day is much more costly than a constant 1mb connection 24/7. But, you are not going to see this inter the debate.
I wish I had those kind of skills to bust out something like this in a weekend.

Could you clarify the english? I have assumed British english. (the real one ;))

Honestly your comment sounds troll like.

Languages bring richness and expression. Im going to guess your from an English speaking country and only have english speaking parents.
I used it back in the late 80s to handle bank account processing on a Burroughs mainframe. I got moved from a night shift sorter operator to a day shift maintenance programmer because I was literally the only available programmer in town. Had next to zero experience at the time, too.
On Jan 1st, 2020, before their stock price was boosted due to external factors, the price was $32.31. In that period, Twitter trails VGT (Vanguard tech index fund) returns by over 100%.

Twitter has a long history of incompetent product decisions and lethargic tech improvements. Vine and Periscope were both lazy, half-hearted and fumbled disasters. They could've been amazing.
I have been looking for something like this since onelastpass.com was shut down. It used the same password=hash(domain+passcode) idea with a Chrome extension, except the hash was performed by a server. Obviously that approach has some security concerns.

I recommend hosting the code somewhere so it can be used outside the Chrome extension, e.g., for Chrome mobile. You can also use an <input type="password"> for the passcode field so Chrome will remember it.
How many deaths of Bitcoin are we on now? I can remember 3, at least, the first of which was when it came down from its peak of $30/btc.

Personally, I hope this drives out most of the speculators. They have, in my opinion, done little for Bitcoin except make it difficult to use as an actual currency.
Wow, what an amazing feat to come this close. To think just ~100 years ago humans took flight for the first time. Now we are able to launch a rocket in orbit, then fly the first stage to land on a small platform floating in the middle of the ocean.
AFAICT the v8 JIT collects such information form code's behavior, and uses it to generate efficient machine code.

If v8 could accept Typescript directly, it probably could pass this kind of information to the JIT directly, too. But the input language is ES6 or something like it, and it has to follow the calling conventions of it. I'm afraid that adorning ES6 with this information would be either brittle or backwards-incompatible.
Never heard about nashorn, jruby, groovy then ? It all use the same C2 JIT as Java
Families are MUCH closer in Pakistan and the rest of the Middle East than they are in the western world. Doing things against the families will can get you in big trouble and leave you without your family at all.
The main difference between the Middle East and the West is: in the west, you grow up and you are taught by your parents how to stay on your own. That is why Westerners often only see their parents and brothers and sisters occasionally. In the Middle East, you grow up to be a good part of the family for the rest of your life.
As I married a girl from the Middle East I had to learn and feel the differences and resulting occasional tensions. So to say it short: you normally are not supposed to leave your family in Pakistan. So this girl feels she is in great trouble, even if the solution may seem so simple for us.
Although in "the rest of the world", where I'm from, you have the option of buying the mobile separately, and then paying for a separate contract (or top-up sim cards), the upfront cost of a new top-of-the-line mobile devices is much higher (iPhone 5S 700 EUR), so most people I know end up choosing the contract+phone option anyway.

I'm really confused, I'm not just trying to rile you up here, are you really sure that Greenwald has a idealized view of Wikileaks, the narrative of his article seems to find some motivations of Manning, and as he says, he has already come to his separate belief that the service that Wikileaks performs is positive and true to its aims.

We could weasel-word that and say Wikileaks "seems generally true to its aims" or "seems trying to stay true to its aims", but don't we all generally assume bias in all parties in contemporary intellectual debate? What am I missing here? Is it that you think that Greenwald doesn't recognize or understand ingrained and universal bias?

Is it that you think Wikileaks should simply not have any opinions and only relay the facts? I guess that might be an improvement in the sense that they don't impart an incomplete or biased narrative? Isn't that called marketing? Should activists not market? Only information-related activists? Which activists are not in the information business anyway? Is activism within the media inherently and broadly frustrating to you too?

There's some piece of information missing I think that connects the dots of why humans at Wikileaks having opinions and marketing them is frustrating to you.

ITN news from the U.K. used to have a policy of impassive presentation of the facts. I loved it. But not many people watch ITN news, in fact I think they've gone away or changed or something because it wasn't viable or something of the sort, I need to look that up.
There's also the point that the positive plans have to succeed. If they release clearly useful software, that will make headlines too.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted so much. I had the exact same thoughts after reading this.. "Uhm, so we have a new post script?"
Is there any documentation on "specify"? I've seen it used from time to time (eg in your Om code), but the only documentation I've found is the dev wiki page[1].

> The advantage of OO has always been its accessible constructs and abstractions that mirror how we talk about things linguistically.

I don't think there's much of a connection to natural language. OO is about commanding objects through messages; if we must make a connection to language, it would be equivalent to the imperative tense.

> Heck, even Clojure has its own object systems; they just often call them entities rather than objects

Which object systems would these be?
If LLVM languages are going to become more mainstream in the browser, you need more than a WASM backend - you need to significantly improve interaction with the UI from WASM.

HTML's canvas might be an adequate stop gap, but it really doesn't seem like an acceptable solution in the long term.
Where do I get this toolkit. Asking as someone with at least 100 Schneider PLCs, some dating back to the 90’s.

Edit: it is only for codesys based plc, which for Schneider are small shitty ones not the big ones orchestrating the whole

I wonder more about Schweitzer devices that use codesys
I have all the computers connected via (my own) VPN servers, and the only limit for me was my connection speed (which on cable was 1gbit, on some random wifi, slower).

The nodes are set by default to have local discovery, but you need port 22000(?) open for synchronization to work (if you have firewall enabled)

I find pg's essay on writing[1] to be one of the best on this topic.

Is THIS why Satya Nadella is so keen on getting everyone back in their cubicles. It makes everyone look like they're banging on their keyboards, nevermind that they're sending pictures on .... Teams? Can you do that on Teams? We use Slack. I was curious why he thought, "So much work gets done around the watercooler." I just thought he was a holdover from an earlier time. He's a smart dude, I'm not denying that. And I'm not young, but I'm not really working, usually, when I'm chatting in the snack room.

Maybe I'm too low level, though. That's a real possibility. I 100% admit that.
Getting entangled particles to both sides of the conversation, maybe there's a way to entangle particles at a distance? I believe current attempts creates entangled photons at one end and sends half of entangled pairs to the other end. Remember that once you "read" from an entangled pair, it becomes "unentangled". Plus photons like to become unentangled along the way!

Literally can do the same thing with unentangled pairs with all the benefits (except one) with none of the downsides! The reason to do so (which is an awesome reason) is secure communication.
GDPR is a gift to large corporations. Regulatory capture in return for a slap on the wrist. It also burdens startup competition and trains people to click "Allow Cookies" and "Accept the Terms of Service" as fast as possible.
Are you familiar with the manager's schedule, workload and working priorities?
Has Automattic or wordpress.org published anything like the various guides found across the internet? I know you offered to email, but it would be great to see something published that is tested and comprehensive.
If anything, I got the impression that the Apple Manager was stalling (or maybe he really was ill and it really took him 10 days - from May 4 to May 14 - to "get back on his feet")

Or else he's just a busy guy with a lot on his plate apart from this one project which he's not that interested in with some guy who keeps pestering him.
I heard that when he has an idea, he just writes a Perl script that does the work for him.
It's the further processing after that which I'm interested in. Sanitising the input should probably be rejecting/replacing with a space any non-printable code points or weird whitespace characters. But what about sending emails? "Dear <name>"? There are probably other situations where this is a problem.
Timber (the actual land).

Blue-chip art. For example, photography by big-name artists with established markets. But art has huge transaction costs, so I wouldn't include it in the easy-to-buy-and-sell category.
Given what you're commenting all over this post, it's pretty clear you don't follow developments in the cryptocurrency space much.

Bitcoin is stale, there's no development or innovation happening. It has become a store of value only. The only possible solution that could change that is the Lightning network or other Layer 2 protocols.

There are plenty of other coins however that are doing super exciting innovation. Bitcoin Cash and Nano are some examples. They're actually solving problems and moving the technology forward. And they're being adopted as payment methods as a result.

It makes me incredibly sad to see how many people (especially on HN) have no idea about that, and have adopted an anti-crypto stance like it's some ideological war, constantly citing the same old tired arguments.
> The overuse of DSLs in Scala is really annoying. Too many DSLs is another example of something I consider to be an antipattern, but there is no Scala community consensus on the responsible use of DSLs.

Domain specific languages are heavy users of the implicit keyword and implicit conversion; maybe that makes the code more concise, but it doesn't quite help with reading / understanding the code. For me that's the greatest problem with scala - figuring out what this code in front of me does.
Thanks - I do think that's coherent and not combative at all, and appreciate hearing a similar, but different experience. I think the crux of where I would disagree is on how hard it is to start a business and/or invest. Growing up, I saw my dad go from lower middle class house painter to upper middle class IT work by taking night classes and self-teaching, so that informs my experience. I could see less fortunate middle class stories having a less optimistic view. I see that's subjective somewhat. But I think I'm on solid ground to say it's never been easier or cheaper, especially for a definition of "business" that includes 10-50k/year side projects to supplement a day job.

Similar with investing. Robinhood, et al have huge issues for sure (as we recently learned), but anybody can dollar-cost-average into some index funds and do better on average than sticking cash in the bank.

It's not so much that I don't _care_ about others less fortunate (I really do, and put my money where my mouth is on that). But I also genuinely think that one big way to help people is to help them have successful small businesses and invest, and encourage a mentality of self-education. I have definitely had that conversation with less financially stable peers. I don't push it on them, but if they are interested, we do brainstorm business ideas and talk about next steps, investing philosophy, interesting books and sites, etc.
I have a feeling there was no swallowing of pride or anything like that, but it was all Hollywood and market size: US movies/TV series shown in Germany get dubbed with German voices because there's a huge German/Austrian/Swiss market (in terms of population), while for smaller markets like Dutch and the Nordic countries, it was/is a lot more economical to just put local language subtitles on them.

France also has a lot of eyeballs, and they also get dubbed entertainment products.
We have a digital ID here in Australia, which is really just our government issued ID within a MyGov smartphone application. However, I don't believe it currently integrates with online services outside of government services.

But it does mean that I haven't carried my wallet on me for almost 2 years with the digital ID and payments/purchases all driven on my mobile phone.
The "Post Scriptum" makes it clear that it is, but I believe it was originally published in Scientific American without that. I agree with you that all too often it's hard to tell.
(Of course it is written under a pseudonym that gives it away.)
It's the Internet. Those that can't do, complain.

Don't sweat it too much.
As a WM I would have no problem becoming a BM. At 30 it's less of an issue, but at 18 it would have been very helpful.
The title and blurb is misleading.

You need permission from Apple on an application by application basis. Interpreted code is to be used in a "minor way" for "minor features". Thus, writing an entire iOS app in an interpreted language (such as Lua) does not seem likely to be allowed.

I'm not a lawyer though. Of course, Apple is fickle and contradicts itself often. Indeed, I would not be surprised to find Titanium gets free reign and Corona does not, or vice versa.

Thankfully there are a few places on the internet where a statement about not having faith in Science is not automatically blasphemous. Everytime I see "TRUST SCIENCE" - I picture a customer for quantum healing crystals.

I have faith in religion. Science my friend stands on that other line there where everything has to be proven. That is the strength of science. If it tries to get in the religion line where I need to put faith and belief it's no longer Science.

I've got a name fairly unfamiliar to many speakers of English, ("Maciej", or "Maciek" in the everyday diminutive form). There aren't any invalid characters in it, but I have on several occasions had it re-written or transcribed by a human being after I've entered it into a form on a website, often to something completely different or garbled (with the implication that I spelled my own name wrong). In particular, my bank did this to me and for about a year and a half I was receiving statements addressed to a "Macie J", where someone had clearly thought the J was part of my middle name (which itself is another tongue twister to English-speaking folks).

No wonder so many immigrants to Canada and the US change their names :)

It doesn't need to be an integer but you're right in that it requires an additional property of the key type that most sorting and searching algorithms do not need: being able to measure the distance between two keys. Most algorithms only need to be able to decide whether a key is less, equal or greater than another key.
If I were 20 now, and I wanted to be financially independent by 35, I would be doing the following:

1) Building an asset base that provided me with an unearned income equal to whatever my needs are at the time (e.g I need $1000 per month to live, I make an asset that generates $1000 per month without any significant effort on my part)

2) To achieve 1) I would be investing my time and energy in learning web based technologies. Specifically: Java 1.6+, Ruby, RESTful web services, XML, JSON, AJAX, Spring, Maven, GITHub, SVN and so on.

3) To achieve 2) I would spend my evenings writing code for my own medium sized project (e.g. travel review site) with no intention of selling it. My work would involve learning how to make things work efficiently on the web so that my own involvement was kept to zero, with the system continuing to work perfectly.

4) To achieve 3) I would work closely with people who really know how to code for the web. I wouldn't worry about how "cliquey" or anal they were. I would ask them questions and listen carefully to their answers - particularly if I didn't understand them.

>I lost 50 pounds eating ~500 calories more on keto than I did before

>But it did make me feel as though the whole calories in - calories out was nonsense.

As a diet methodology, calories in vs calories out is not very effective for the general public. I too have lost more weight via keto.

But when I really tracked what I was eating I found keto simply kept my appetite under control better. This is extremely valuable but ultimately it was still down to calories.

(You also tend to drop a ton of water weight when you first start keto which makes it seem super effective at first)
I'm an Emacs user and I've evaluated lighttable. I like a lot of what I see, but for now it's lacking some pretty fundamental user interface concepts that are critical in making an editor that's optimized for the long-term user and not just for the newbie.

For example, if I need to move my hand over to the mouse to do some common action, that's not ok. If I even have to move my hand over to the arrow keys, that's seriously suspect.

I would also never use the native OS file open dialogs for the same reason. It's fine to offer them of course. But anybody who's trying to get fast and proficient will rapidly move beyond them. For this, lighttable offers workspaces & the navigation pane, which is still really primitive compared to ido-mode (poor keyboard navigation, no tab completion of partial names, no ability to jump beyond a single, pre-created workspace).
> I bet if you counted the calories in/calories out it would show the calorie deficit accounting for it

By definition it would have to be true that you consumed fewer calories than expended. Calories in/calories out is not wrong, it's just not useful (or at least it's not a nearly complete picture).

Calories in/out are not independent variables. The type of calories you consume dictate at least: 1) how your body processes the calories you consume, 2) the energy you will have to expend, and 3) the hunger you will feel.
That's Python. In Lisp it looks like:

'(foo "Some text" (bar "more text"))
I like those things, and I'd add: walking/running/hiking, charity (in the form of time or money), and tacos.

Civilized people remind their friends, coworkers and clients to follow-up on important emails. That's what this is for.
