Thanks for the comment! My problem right now is getting users stay in the game once they have installed it.

I'm not sure if it's the game mechanics or the UI that need improvement or maybe is it the lack of explaining the game storyline.
What is the timetable to use a new api on iOS and what is it on Android(assuming you want to target the majority of the market)?

How does it help the ecosystem to have 4-5 different shells running on top of Android? It makes the word Android mean less to people. So I can probably run the same apps but my interaction with the phone is different and upgrades take much longer to be verified.

These aren't dire problems but I think a lot of people would like to see them addressed in some way.
Which part? One-to-one means that there's an unique element in the range for every element in the domain. That doesn't mean there are the same number of elements.

(EDIT: typo strike second range, replace with domain!)

(EDIT2: To reply to a reply below: it's absolutely trivial to provide the function: to prove it's true wouldn't be, at least set theoretically, which is how I'd do it.)
On the tech specs page, it says that the A4 in the iPad runs at 1GHz.
I asked what changed with respect to Iran

Iran is closer to the bomb than they were before.

such that bombing the country is appropriate now when it wasn't appropriate earlier

Isn't this a bit presumptuous? Dealing with rogue nuclear programs are a bit like dealing with cancer - if you start surgery earlier, your odds of success are greater.

We've been giving Iran a pass on terror for decades. For example, in 1983, Iran bombed a Marine Corps base in Beirut, killing 241 marines, 58 French paratroopers, as well as 6 civilians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing

Rather than retyping everything, here's a huge wikipedia page on Iran's terrorist activities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_and_state-sponsored_terror...
Ever been on a video game emulation forum? A lot of the users come across as about 10 years old. Windows 3.11 may not have the same appeal, but I bet you there are kids learning DOS today to play System Shock.
Hopefully it won't ever be used for a serious VPN; tunnelling TCP inside of TCP (or UDP inside of TCP) leads to well-known stability problems.
While you should be allowed to express whatever viewpoint you have regarding gay marriage, I have yet to see an argument against which is not rooted in bigotry.

Is your argument that people should be allowed to spew bigoted and hateful nonsense without facing any social repercussion whatsoever?
> an ad blocker should just block ads by default

First sentence on the project page:

"µBlock is not an ad blocker; it's a general-purpose blocker."
This Tim O'Neil? https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/14324
How is it related to spec'ing the language. It's just fuzzy use of terms to appear extraordinary. That's all. Btw he still didn't answer my simple question, meanwhile everybody is commenting saying how nice the community is, how people should help instead of criticizing and deflecting the actual issue people had with the project.
Which safe did you get?
What do y’all run firecracker on? The metal servers on aws (the only servers you can run firecracker on in aws) are pretty expensive!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did actually have a small operating profit Q421.
Being from Oregon, I always get a kick out of seeing this... Facebook, in Prineville. It's a small town that's not much of anywhere. Previously, it was known as the HQ of Les Schwab (free beef!) Tires, but even they moved over to Bend.
This isn't actually anti-libertarian or even anti-anarchist. It is written for a peculiar type of person who likes to call himself a libertarian and who hates taxes so much that he doesn't want to pay for government services he doesn't use. Unfortunately, the author already knows that this type of person is more likely to dismiss his FAQ as the drivel of some Soviet Commie-Nazi rather than read it.
More evidence that it's hard to fail when your business plan is built around catering to attention-whores and spammers. It's sort of the "invest in staple vices like beer, no matter what the economic climate" of the modern age.
In my case, I reject armchair deontological ethics in favor of ethics that have at least some grounding in science and empirical examination of the world, so the non-aggression axiom fails for the same reason that Kant's ethics and Christian ethics fail.
try ImpactJS! best thing that ever happened to me.
the thing is, if I make the screen larger, the game will lag (lower FPS). Below 45 fps, the game isn't that fun to play.

I do realize that old NES games can be fullscreened any time of the day. Wish I could do that in my case.
Ultimately, she was convicted of “illegal fund-raising” for, the court concluded, raising 773m yuan from illicit sources.

What does this MEAN, I wonder? Money laundering? Or?
In 20 years of doing this, I have always found that good teams are worth almost anything you can pay. There are very few truly good teams.
i think multiplayer requires some node.js magic. Don't have a clue how that works!

the forums at ImpactJS had some discussions on node.js, will have a look
Not bad, not bad at all.
All of those are early issues that are going to be fixed. See my post above.
I have a question on that. Would CP/Mish be able to easily deal with arbitrary RAM location?

There's a really cool device called a Cidco Mailstation that has a Z80, but it maps a ROM to the first 16k of memory. So you can't easily run CP/M because it expects RAM there.

Would be a nice CP/Mish platform with its 128Kb RAM, loads of flash memory, 320x128 lcd, fairly simple bootstrap process, runs on 3 AAA batteries, etc.

More info: https://jcs.org/2019/05/03/mailstation
There's tens of thousands of publicly traded companies worldwide, and one company having some weird fluctuations for a period of a few days at a time is a tiny little rounding error. This is the exception that proves the rule. All the other metrics proposed by Retric have worse edge cases than this, which they pointed out.
Especially since if you want to port the title to Greek lettering, you have upsilon and omicron for u and o:

αcτυαlly pοrταblε εxεcυταblε
I think serious $language people for any $language skew smart and capable. I'm not sure that the top 10% in any language (by whatever metric you choose to measure overall quality) are going to be significant more or less smart and capable than in any other language.

Disclaimer: I have minimal exposure to Haskell or Haskell programmers, so this opinion is predicated upon my experience with programmers of many other languages, not Haskell in particular, so I could be completely wrong.
One of the problems with text files and the philosophy of chaining little tools together to do something is that what usually happens is a rube gold-berg machine of little dependencies you have to manage to keep things working.

I could spend time working out how Jekyll works, writing a script to deploy the changes and managing changes with git. Alternatively I could just spin up a wordpress instance on a VPS in minutes and start publishing content.

Sometimes the "unix" way isn't the simplest way. Sometimes having a product that already built for that task that is paid for is simpler and a better use of your time.

I like git, markdown files and pandoc for docs and might even use hugo for really simple sites and use some bash / powershell / batch scripts. However if you work with anyone than yourself you will have to document how it works otherwise they will most likely be clueless as to what you have done.

Even in dev circles. Most "dark matter" developers are reluctant of using a command line and only learn what they need to learn to get by. Many just do everything in the IDE and are completely lost outside it.
You dodged the question. What do you think the fundamental difference is between your aunt leaving doorknob flyers, cold-calling neighbors at dinnertime, sending spam emails, buying TV ad slots in the local news program, putting up a billboard on the highway, or buying targeted facebook ads?

Do you think there is a fundamental difference between your aunt’s salon and someone selling candy to kids, encouraging people to ask their doctor about a named pharmaceutical, describing a casino’s slot machines, soliciting donations to a megachurch, talking up penny stocks, presenting jingoistic propaganda, making unfounded accusations about a political rival, or describing a phone sex hotline? Where do you draw the line between advertising that you consider beneficial (or ethical) vs. not?
I feel this - there's been a definite shift in using some surprisingly large frameworks it seems like and it does take time to ramp up with them.
And I do really want to emphasize that I'd recommend staying away from Fiverr or any similar gig marketplaces for a bigger job like this. If it was just a simple website using Wordpress or some other CMS, I'd probably roll the dice, because, well working with Wordpress isn't exactly rocket science. But there's so many ways a developer could screw up building a custom website with a Node backend, and you might end up paying $$$$ for something you throw in the trash.
Torba is something else.

> "There's fewer Nazi's" isn't the ringing endorsement you think it is.

There's almost none actually. People are asking 'where are the Nazis I keep hearing about?' You know why? They are being chased off.

Just like the population now is going after the open racists. This is a cultural shift at Gab as more and more normal people come in because they are being chased off other platforms.

It's not complicated.
> I hear he also does a lot of charity work.

I know I shouldn’t mix the individual with the public company he founded and I don’t want to be that person that says he only does it because the tax incentives. He is a person after all and I’m sure he deals with more social pressure as a result of his status and like all people has issues that strike a cord internally. Still there is something deeply troubling about people acquiring so much wealth that put them in that situation in the first place when he wouldn’t be there without his workers and yet significant numbers of them are on food stamps paid for by taxpayers...when his company paid $0 taxes.
Sometimes I wish von Neumann had gone into another field, such as genetics.
The difference is that COBOL was intended to be coded by very low skill people.

I’m familiar with one system that was initiated in the mid 1970s with 15 million lines of COBOL. The vast majority is cut and paste dreck that does god knows what.

There’s lots of bad C code, but in many ways the cobol stuff is the equivalent of some crazy collection of interlinked excel files.
I've used themeforest a couple times
I got confused between what kinds of losses the insurance covers versus how much it covers. Details in the reply to your sibling comment. I see what it means now.
Are REST api’s poor because of the granularity of the interface making it too chatty? I’m curious to hear your experience.
I'd say $220 mil is a pretty good price for a company that hasn't introduced an innovative product in 50 years. Colt's main products are the AR-15 (introduced ~1963), the various 1911 models (introduced in—duh—1911), and the single action army revolvers (introduced in 1873). It must be a hell of a marketing effort to keep flogging 50–150 year old products.
We already have a library called Mir which has laid down a lot of the hard stuff to begin with. Its very very fast even relative to the small number of people working on it.
Good keyboarding skills are useful, but also pretty easy. Spend an hour or two reading and watching about how to do it properly, and then spend 30 minutes a day on PAWS, Mavis Beacon, Mario Teaches Typing, Typershark or The Typing of the Dead for maybe a month. Paying attention to your posture and proper technique more than everything else. Put a (paper) file folder over your hands so you can't peek.

Get an ambidextrous mouse, and try left mousing from time to time. Try to left mouse at work, and right mouse at home to give your body more variety. Use page up/page down to scroll instead of the scroll wheel; scroll wheels are super useful, but ergo nightmares.

But, that's not going to help your work that much. Work on effective communication, which is gathering information from others as much as it is providing information to others. Sometimes the other is yourself. When you see some writing or speaking or drawing that communicates well to you, study it, and think about how you would have done it, and what you can do differently to be more effective. Practice this as well. Maybe you see a manual that's terrible. Can you spend 30 minutes redrafting it and another 30 minutes communicating with the owner to get it updated?
> It's what the science says so far.

No, it's what some interpret the science to mean. It's not like the Carnivore Code is just a nonsense fad diet. It's a book describing the science behind it. You may or may not agree with its conclusions, of course.

And I'm not even suggesting to start eating a carnivore diet. I don't. I just think it's worth reading for some valuable insights.

Additionally, I would argue that the science on seed oils points to them being bad for our health. If you watch that video, the conclusions are all based on research.

There's no such thing as "the science", as if there's only a single conclusion that can be derived from experiments. That's not how science works.
I have similar specs and connection. Using uBlock (which blocked a full 25% (32 requests) of the page's "content") it loaded in 3 seconds flat and looks far better than the ad-ridden version. Sad, that this is what it has come to.
There is a great book about the Higgs boson called 'The God Particle'(http://www.amazon.com/God-Particle-Universe-Answer-Question/...) I haven't read the new version, but I thoroughly enjoyed the original book, highly recommended.
I read up to that quote and decided it was bullshit.
I bank at a small credit union. I very rarely have direct access to my own account. I regularly have to go through proxies and gateways via the ATM network. :)
It was only in the Dallas and NYC regional editions, but still, yeah.
Pretty much all of the older nutrition "science" is just made up. The food pyramid was about what American farmers wanted to produce, not what humans should actually eat.
Just… why?
Yes, we're kind of at the mercy of free-market competition to keep things honest. But that mechanism didn't work in any of the cases cited above. So I just don't understand why so few people are skeptical, given the history.
What exactly is "brain fog", and is one person's brain fog the same as another person's brain fog?
I didn't find anything here that wasn't already common, TL;DR

Give up the clutter
Multi-tasking doesn’t work
Give up the urgent distraction
Stop feeding your comfort
Don’t sit still
Stop consuming media and start creating instead

"Stop feeding your comfort" isn't immediately clear from title alone:

Comfort provides a state of mental security.
[...]
But in the long-term, comfort is bad for your brain.
Something occurred to me, I was trying to figure out why Republican leadership was in favor of the trial. It didn’t seem to have an upswing, unless you consider the time it took. It’s almost the middle of February, and yet the Senate has been wrapped up with this trial, that I think for most Americans, is a waste of time. Maybe that’s the strategy, to waste time.
AT&T laid fiber in my neighborhood and stopped 10 houses away in each direction. They left 20-30 houses in my neighborhood with crappy DSL. The reps I talked to said I can pay for it but I probably wouldn’t want to know the cost.

Thankfully Comcast has Gigabit service but the upstream is capped at 25mbps. I enjoyed the symmetrical gigabit at my last place.

For $2000 and $300 a month Comcast will give you 2.5 gigabit connection with SFP+ and a 1 gig failover.
Their site claims it might be faster. Which totally made sense a decade or two ago, and they've been in this game for a very long time (the company itself pre-dates the Web substantially). Is it faster today? Probably not. And if you're trading from a phone app, the chances your execution happening 100ms later ruins your day is very tiny. Whereas if bad guys snoop your WiFi, MitM your login and use your capital to run the other side of a stupid scam (e.g. buying some penny stock with all your investment savings) that's really going to ruin your whole year.

I can most easily imagine they had a proprietary setup in the 1990s, and one day they make a web site because of this exciting new technology. Should it have SSL? Security sounds good, but it is slower. Traders demand an option. Now, fast forward a few years you're building an iPhone app, your prototype looks good, but traders ask, where is that SSL option? Chances are the answer is "Um, TLS is always On? Because switching it Off would be stupid?". Oh dear, are you calling a long time customer "stupid" for not clicking the SSL box all these years? No of course you aren't, you add the SSL box to the app and everybody working on it learns not to point out that this is stupid.

I like https://peerby.com/ for this. You can borrow anything from people close to you.
I think you have a very weird and wrong idea of what "collateral damage" means. Actually, the police should avoid collateral damage at all cost, even if it means not catching the bad guys.
I recently switched to a single 6k monitor after using dual monitors for 10+ years. A single high res monitor is so much better ergonomically.
So it does, I missed that!
Interesting indeed, that goes against the grain of what I read here in opinions and links. So maybe it does matter? Thanks for the list.
I find it absolutely terrifying that anyone would consider something as draconian as what happened in Wuhan to be a reasonable response to SARS-CoV-2. We are talking about a disease that has an IFR of .59%, with a vast majority of those deaths happening in those over 80 years old.

If you truly believe that that trade-off is worth it, then I completely understand now how authoritarian governments convince otherwise logical people to submit. Create an enemy, make everyone afraid of it, and then claim you are the only one who can protect them.

I am sure you are a smart, logical person. But your approval of what would be martial law for a .5% IFR is astounding.
The CEO is an engineer. Also, there is a lot more happening at GM than just a logo change. GM owns Cruise since 2016 and they have a line of EVs they have been selling world wide for many years now.
Or they just saw the giant sign that says it's the Speaker of the House's office and they grabbed a laptop?
On Android, it remained free. That is, even if you didn't pay, it continued to work endlessly.

That said, WhatsApp's plans to make revenue didn't involve showing ads in 2016 (2 years into Facebook acquisition) when they made it officially free:

> Naturally, people might wonder how we plan to keep WhatsApp running without subscription fees and if today's announcement means we're introducing third-party ads. The answer is no. Starting this year, we will test tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from. That could mean communicating with your bank about whether a recent transaction was fraudulent, or with an airline about a delayed flight. We all get these messages elsewhere today – through text messages and phone calls – so we want to test new tools to make this easier to do on WhatsApp, while still giving you an experience without third-party ads and spam.

There should be no pooling from multiple vials to make up a full dose

That's interesting. Does anybody know why, exactly? Some kind of contamination? Inconsistency between vials?

I'm all for abundance of caution and would follow the rules they set, but I'd be interested in knowing how this works.
That observation makes as much sense in context as when people compare the national debt to household debt. If the problem is that we might get to know what porn Pelosi likes or whether she has hemorrhoids, the theft of this laptop is trivial.
There is a huge difference between the skills necessary to safely hold your money and setting up HTTPS. I bet you that there are a lot of fraudulent banks that are very good with https, but aren't to be trusted.
My favorite part from this speech, "Everybody Worships."

http://www.pixelmonkey.org/2014/11/26/everybody-worships
I guess it isn't too early when you consider who is actually behind Aurelia: Rob Eisenberg. If you have used Durandal before, then you will know what I am talking about. I have no doubt in my mind that Aurelia is going to shake things up. Just having a play with it earlier gave me a sense of excitement that I remember getting when I first used Angular all those years ago.

I get the impression we're dealing with a framework that is based in part on Durandal, so it is not an entirely new framework in certain aspects (I could be wrong). And on the plus side, Rob has proven himself as an effective leader on projects like this and during his time on the Angular 2.0 team, he was doing some great work.
Our Incredible Journey claims another.

Interesting though, Dropbox appears to be on a buying spree. They just claimed Cloudon last week, now this.
Yeah. The acceptable cost for acquiring a customer for something like Azure, AWS, Heroku, New Relic, et al. dwarfs the cost of most advertising that reaches the ideal audience (so, yeah, ROS banner ads on Yahoo might not cut it). I'm in the email newsletter space and had the cloud division of a very major three letter company send me an IO to buy >$100k of advertising without us ever having communicated before - I couldn't fill the order as we don't have that sort of capacity, but it blew my mind and certainly got me thinking about where to take the business.
Maria Bamford (a comedian) has a joke about how she calls her therapist 'The Rapist'.
Actually, that seems to be just what Groupon did. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1547943
One thing not many people have mentioned, is avoid open plan. I currently have the misfortune to work in an open plan office and basically get far less productive work done than when I worked in one with cubicles where you at least could get some work done without being distracted by other people (I'm not saying that cube farms are ideal either .... )
When I get 12 more points, I'll be the first one with RGBA(0,0,0,0.5)!
Let me start by saying that I am an Indian hacker. Forget the name. Even if you ignore the name, I personally do not like the idea of an "Indian HN clone". HN stands for something. It is a global close-knit community. It is as if you are forming your own group and sitting at a different table for lunch at school. What if every country sat on their own table? It is just going to result in unnecessary fragmentation.

Now, I understand that you are not moving away from HN and have created the site to discuss Indian specific issues, but I don't see what is stopping you from discussing those issues on HN itself. The site being an exact HN clone doesn't sit well with your good intentions. Add to that the fact that you are using the same name.

Sorry for generalizing, but IMHO, the global image of Indian hackers is not particularly good, and this sort of thing doesn't help. Personally I would suggest looking at some different means to solve the problems for which the clone was created. You have my respect for trying to take some initiative though.
damn... you beat me to it. That video never gets old. Steve actually explaining some technical details and not just being cool.
The UK government ended up effectively nationalizing monsters like RBS - which as far as I can see has been one big "Get out of Jail Free" card for the relevant organizations and their directors.
