You know Trojans thought like that... "Nice horse, let's bring it in - it matches our decor". We always have to question motivations. Is the humanitarian work aimed towards gaining more political influence? To what end?

Nobody is nice.
Most states have laws for tipped employees to make sure they take at least that much home. Some are slightly higher, others a bit lower. Here is a link to the Department of Labor site with more info, if you're curious.

Well, Usenet 1.0 was decentralised, and people need to think about the disadvantages. In the early 2000s well over 50% of the traffic was spam cancels. An forum without an "owner" who can delete posts and effectively ban spammers and "abuse" will promptly be filled with spam and abuse.

The issue of "abuse" which is harmful to people other than users of the forum should also be considered carefully.
I guess I do know the ways in which CGI-based web applications shoot me in the foot because I wrote them in Python and Perl. Said knowledge is why I no longer use:

1. CGI

2. Python

3. Perl
I think accounts of Meerkat's life and death are both being greatly exaggerated here. It's a contender, it now has a war chest, lets see what the guys can do with it.

And I think it's unfair to suggest they just "cashed in" for the quick buck.
Helicopters actually exist. Self-driving cars are still nothing more than research prototypes.
> another textbook that is hard and complex

To be fair, you were looking at the super-condensed linear algebra tutorial, which is meant to be a condensed pre-exam review for students and not as a standalone tutorial. The actual book starts off much more smoothly and introduces concepts step by step
(see http://cnd.mcgill.ca/~ivan/miniref/noBSguide2LA_preview.pdf for a preview).

The "onboarding" in the math/phys book (No bullshit guide to math and physics) is even smoother. About 1/3 of the text is a review of high school math topics, which helps to establish a solid foundation understanding mechanics and calculus. (see http://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSguide_v5_previe... for a PDF preview.)

You are absolutely right though, many of the readers who have written to me over the years are adults who used the book to review what they learned at university. The compactness works well for that.
They likely disagree that their "crimes" ought to be illegal, and do not accept the legitimacy of any punishment for such behavior.

They should probably still accept the reality of the punishment, at least until the law is modified. Disobeying a law for moral reasons is only the first half of civil disobedience.
I had a debate with one of TechCrunch's head editors about the journalistic coverage of Meerkat: https://twitter.com/ryanlawler/status/582547758248136704

Coincidentally TechCrunch published a more analytical approach a few hours later: http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/30/schrodingers-meerkat/

What really annoys me is that no one took the devil's advocate approach to analyzing Meerkat. "It's a new paradigm in live-streaming," perhaps, but no one has considered that such a paradigm only fits in the narcissistic Silicon Valley culture.

Periscope atleast managed to appeal to non-techies, but even then, it appears to have peaked. In the first week of release.

There's a nonzero probability that everyone was wrong about personal livestreaming in the first place.
This looks really great. I've been thinking for a while to start a tech co-op with the only goal of giving the best benefits possible to its members in terms of pay and freedom, while being completely independent from investors/shareholders and the delusion of perpetual growth.

This is both a confirmation that you can work on big projects without necessarily grinding away all of your time and energy, and that perpetual growth isn't a necessity.
Great move.

Some might argue that this bans some political views. And it does. It bans anti-democratic and anti-scientific views. Which is great. We don’t need another Hitler.
I've been working on the app for almost 8 years. This means a lot to me. Thank you.
Any idea why the max Accel figure is set so low by default? 0.3 m/s/s requires over a minute and a half to accelerate to 60 mph/100kph.

I'd expect something more like 2 m/s/s (0-100 kph in 14 seconds) if it's a safety-related threshold and at least 1 m/s/s if it's a general operation setting.

That it's set so far away from that makes me wonder if I don't understand what it's used for.
It's very interesting that this is the 4th Anti-Whatsapp post on HN in the past 2 days.

These posts seem to get a higher than normal amount of engagement also. weird.
I'd been interested in this. I primarily wonder if videogames have the same cultural weight in Japanese society anymore.
This is way beyond "don't yell fire in a crowded theater," which was an action considered to be outside the protection of free speech because it presented a "clear and present danger." That standard was later restricted further, and is now "imminent lawless action." The President's actions appear to blow right past "clear and present danger" and explicitly call for "imminent lawless action."
> I like to talk about to Cs is their strategy on capex vs opex, because honestly that determines quite a lot

For example?
If you find US border guards welcoming to foreigners then that doesn't speak highly about the standards of friendliness in your country of origin.
My hammer - a tool - doesn't want me to look at more ads. No, FB is not a tool.
> I'm not sure how big the subset of people that use unix systems and are ignorant of the command line is.

Probably way more than you'd think. Most people get thrown into the unix shell at some point without learning it properly. And its easy to accidentally miss a lot of fundamentals due to imposter syndrome + the terminal's terrible discoverability.

I made a simple build system at a company I worked at a few years ago to build production docker images. It was a little nodejs process which ran docker build in a subprocess, and streamed stdout / stderr to the browser. So you could kick off a build with a few clicks of the mouse and you could see it build + deploy. The whole thing was just a couple hundred lines of code that I whipped it up in a day or two.

Some of my coworkers were way more impressed than I expected. They're great senior web programmers, but apparently they just never learned unix properly and didn't realise how easy it is to do stuff like that.
I’m not the person who you’re replying to but I believe they have made a mistake. There is the US Munitions List, for which export is controlled by the US Department of State. This is a US Commerce blacklist so these items are not on the USML.

I vaguely recall a shipment being stopped midway under the USML but I’m having an early 40s moment - I’ll update this if I remember the case and find a decent citation!
As others have said it's a default wordpress theme, so often used by people who install wordpress in its default configuration because they want a reasonable https GUI to type content into a blog, but don't care about making it pretty or special looking (As you would if you were to use wordpress to build a company webpage).
Rural China is the opposite of many rural places in the West. In the West, there are small towns seen as desirable, where you go to live when you're richer and have kids or just want more space. In China rural is almost always poorer.

I don't think K-12 attainment is an appropriate metric. Like I said elsewhere it's like comparing hygiene standards by saying we all have access to soap. But that's the most basic standard we can achieve.

I think if you compare the % of Chinese who go to world-class universities, it's a lot more relevant. China has maybe 2 or 3 such universities, so saying it's equal and fair because you have the gaokao or whatever doesn't make much sense. The biggest intake for world class universities is rich Chinese kids going to the West, not poor kids from the village going to Tsinghua. If you managed to do that then great for you, really, but it's not an average story.

Even if we don't want to go that high-end, tertiary educational attainment at any calibre of university in China is much much lower than in the US.

I think there are good things about the Chinese approach to education, but it's kind of silly to say they've caught up to the US and others.
Yeah or round it off, or... get a plane ticket, guess if you don’t want a vaccine maybe shipping ourselves will become viable.
Can we verify the circuitry on a microprocessor with this microscope?
ARM isn't listed on their table, so it slots into "all other multicore CPUs". Scaling factor is 1. So no help there.
I've been waiting for this announcement so I could decide on the next truck I buy. In terms of specs, it's pretty good. In terms looks, it's terrible. I was hoping Tesla would put out a vehicle to be top of the list, they failed.
I really dislike how trucks look, but this one actually looks pretty cool.

Not something great for our European roads though.
One you can actually do, so yeah.
Exactly - look at what kind of work dominated scifi in 1961, the year of her first published work.

The 1961 Hugo Award was given to Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys, a work about the discovery of an alien artifact on the moon. The only women in this book are vapid arm candy for the bold, intrepid male explorers.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Moon

>> Claire Pack, Barker's girlfriend, who flirts with both Hawks and Connington but knows she prefers the manliness of Barker. She has some sort of sado-masochistic bond with Barker; even when he hits her face in public, she says without irony, "Isn't he grand? Isn't he a man?"

This kind of treatment is pretty much par for the course in popular science fiction of the time. Bold, violent men riding around in spaceships and shooting rayguns at hostile aliens to save giggling, helpless women.
I completely agree with all your points.
Plus, the voice actors are different and I think the HL2 writer has moved on to other projects.
Or pretty much anywhere outside of urban centers... and even there, many in the South, West, and Midwest US have giant trucks (big enough they don't fit in a standard garage) in their urban centers.
It is easy to look back and say, "I should have made this modular," or "I should have isolated that external dependency." It is easier to see how another level of indirection would have saved you work after the fact, but maybe YAGNI was the right call at the time.

That's the trap that Magic and poker players call results-oriented thinking: You got burned once by making the best decision available given the information you had, and you give that experience a disproportionate weight, like the player that lost big with a pair of kings in his hand, and undervalues a pair of kings after that.
I never made a special effort for that and I only remember 12 of those digits, so maybe I'm just using an inefficient way, but I remember them as two-digit numbers, not single digits.

I don't think I'm alone, the basic value of pi one learns in France is "3 14 16" - "trois quatorze seize" (historically it was "trois quatorze-cent-seize" so "3 1416" but it's less used today).
> suburban status items

I have found the single stupidest thing in this thread.
How come you're so outspoken against what others choose to do?

Who are you to declare whether or not 5 hours of gaming is unacceptable? If that's what someone chooses to do it's pretty arrogant to think they are lesser than you because they don't do what you would do in that situation.

There are plenty of things I probably like that you don't. Should I criticize you, because you choose to do other things than what I'd do?
OK, so generic, policy-based programming is a possible alternative to classic OO. Can you recommend a few free thematic resources?
Hasn't this been known for months now?
http://www.techhub.com/ is a good start, especially TechHubFriday.
I have a strong dislike for the now-nearly-meaningless terms "beautiful", "eloquent", "elegant" &c. but for me the deciding factor between Ruby and Python for a project (assuming no constraints from libraries required and such) is Ruby's internal consistency. Python is a bit more haphazard; the infamous `len(str)`, to wit.
There's also the conveniently undefined term 'hard-working'. It's likely too difficult to compare 'work hardness' across 'jobs'. Does a farm laborer who gets paid less than minimum wage and spends every day toiling in the fields really work 'less hard' than a lawyer who bills 60 hours a week from his air-conditioned office that he commutes to in his BMW from the suburbs? I doubt it.
This already exists in NYC:

You mean Sylvester Stallone who was nominated for best actor for Rocky?
Used to do that on my mom's computer, but it was firefox with the ie icon. Never heard a word. Tried it with my grandpa's computer and he was furious, I asked him how he knew and he said it was completely different, everything had totally changed. Naturally I was wondering what he was talking about, since they seemed like a drop in replacement at the time, what could possibly be so different. Turns out it was the menu where you could increase the font size which he used multiple times a day. Things you don't think of.

side note: as soon as I showed him he didn't have to go into the menu at all any more and could just use the plus and minus keys on his keyboard he was thrilled with the change.
Women still have absolute standards so, no matter how much the desperate ugly guy pays, his odds of success are still low, so the optimal strategy would still be to date around your level, right? Also, maybe the messaging cost goes down for men with high response rates (proving they are attractive).
The definition of niche is literally "appeals to a small, specialized section of the population" so, er, yes.
Come on, you can't be serious about this.

Creating sophisticated web pages is massively easier than 10 or 20 years ago. Yes, HTML of plain simple text-only pages is still pretty much the same, but most users actually prefer visually fancier content with pictures and colors.

Yes, companies presenting themselvses online profit of more capabilities. And yes, presenting ads is probably easier too. But if you think those changes were just made because of monetary greed, you could say the same about almost any technological advancement, like color photography, or electric cars, because all of these had a commercial side to them too.
For a net loss?
Thanks, Google!
both of you should make videos of you typing

so we can compare your styles to each other and a regular one
Running your code on linux is cheaper. Of course legacy code/dependencies might prevent you from running your code on Linux. .NET libraries that are still being developed are either already available on .NET Core or are going to be.

I don't think Java applications have dependencies to Windows that often, and it's a pretty bad idea to use C++ in server applications.
Well, that would streamline nicely the options for DB libs in Scala…

Doobie (optionally with Quill Syntax) would be left and become likely the "Hibernate of Scala-Land".

That's not too bad news imho.
Support any local homeless shelter, soup kitchen, food donation drive, etc.
Agreed (and I like pypy)

One example is that Pypy switched away from reference-counting to fully garbage collected. They are probably right that's faster, but if I'm running a webserver, it's actually really comforting to know that any garbage produced by the processing of a request is collected when that request ends (barring cycles of course) so I don't end up with weird hangups.
Exactly, that have been my personal experience too.

Identifying the triggers, and keeping an eye on quantity are the keys for me. It isn't an easy process but it makes a world of difference as you say.
> Two years ago it was estimated that it only had (the equivalent of) two full-time employees working on it.

The discussion thread on that reveals that it was a bit low even by its explicit premise (core devs that had allocated time for OSS that was used for Python), and that methodology itself undercounted reality because it ignored people who had and made use of employer permission to use paid time but did not have a set allocation.
If that had happened to me it would have scared me off custom build scripts.
Unless you work in government, then your company can't be culled.
I agree that getters and setters aren't object oriented. It was the whole point of my blog post to make people think about that. It wasn't written for people who already understand that, though… otherwise it would be quite a bit shorter. ;)

The sad thing is that way to much people think "getters and setters" when they hear "object orientation". Maybe even "Eclipse will do that for me". Needless to say that encapsulation isn't understood then, too. But encapsulation is bigger topic of it's own and would have been to much for that post.

While talking about that with other people I got the impression that just explaining the way it was meant to be does not work well. Especially if a professor and many books tell otherwise. Therefore I try to make people think for their own about the problem. Showing the problem, how it is solved and how it can be solved in other situations. I don't know if I succeeded in that.
While he's right about a lot of things (especially that the ODF people could have spent more time on their spec rather than fighting against OOXML), it doesn't change the fact that even the most recent versions of MS's own products will generate files that:

1. Don't validate against the OOXML schema.

2. Contain large blobs of encoded binary data from previous versions of MS Office in the XML files.

For this reason alone (that the spec isn't followed correctly), I still prefer ODF.
For once, this headline understates the story. My first thought was "Why does this belong on hacker news" because they stop trading specific securities all the time. But a system crash is another thing.
> rated below-average

It better not be a real average if everyone is always above average!

You mean to say poorly rated, not below average, since it's not an average.
Looking at this design triggers so much nostalgia. Reminds me of my early days learning html.
I agree with your sentiment, but if we want to be charitable to the OP, debugger or not, code that's easier to reason about is easier to debug. Whether that's true of the particular languages in question is another matter of course.
Most of the big exchanges such as Binance, Bittrex, Kraken and even Coinbase support it now.
Just as toxic if not worse is laundry detergent and especially fabric softener (scented of course).

Here is a list of just SOME of the toxic chemicals found in commercial fabric softeners:

Alpha Terpineol: can cause central nervous damage and respiratory problems
Camphor: causes central nervous disorders, is easily absorbed through skin
Chloroform: a carcinogenic neurotoxin preferred by Ted Bundy
Benzyl Acetate: linked to pancreatic cancer
Benyl Alcohol: respiratory tract irritant
Ethanol: on the EPA’s “hazardous waste” list, can cause central nervous system disorders
Ethyl Acetate: a narcotic on the EPA’s “hazardous waste” list
Limonene: a known carcinogen that irritates eyes and skin
Linalool: causes central nervous system disorders and depresses heart activity
Monetization without restraint. (Gold sub was one thing, the awards are just out of fucking control.)

Growth at the expense of usability.

Redesigning to appeal to Social Media/Web 2.5 types.

Hijacking the status quo to provide inadequate me-too integration. (Reddit self hosted images and video over Imgur and Youtube, for example)

Add that to the existing problems that Reddit has always had that were never addressed, such as the powermod system... and you basically have a toxic environment that caters to the lowest common denominator.
While I agree it's likely, 'common sense' is also not science and we shouldn't take as a given that they are an integral part of the food chain. Pest species do exist.

Saving lives is generally a strong motivator, so it's worth considering the possibilities.
Some of us don't like installing apps for what should be perfectly usable websites.
Yes, this was what I realized too.

What do you think the best way of doing this is though?

I need to 1. find potential users 2. Get in touch with them 3. Convince them that a half baked product will eventually solve their problems.

Going one on one seems easy but with limited reach, while “trying to build an audience” seems hard but with more upside.
A 5 hour window for work sounds like a dream ;)
Nice... Related to the historical family from Transylvania?

As a developer, I'm wondering if there is ever any legitimate reason for this. Is it the laziness of properly escaping inputs on the part of the developer? Complying with some standard? Integrating with a legacy system?

My favorite part is when I'm not allowed to use a special character in my password.

It is still a good idea to strip leading/trailing spaces, however. Users may inadvertently include a space when copy and pasting, and some less computer-savvy ones may just include one by accident.
Almost as bad is accepting my name without complaint, but then rendering it as O%27Kelly for years. (I'm looking at you, Amazon.)
I think that would be under-estimating the power of economics. COBOL still lives because it is more economical to keep them running than upgrading them, and tackling the resulting headaches. Companies would love to reduce their costs, and offices are a very big expense. The only issue I find is whether people really like working alone. After a few years of freelancing and working alone, I can say that I don't. Perhaps some kind of pairing would work, as and when required.
