You missed the point. If you "need to load a good bit of data on the user's first use" you've already failed. I've been coding professionally for about 20 years now and the only reason i've ever seen for loading a bit of data on the initial hit, is that the developer didn't spend the time to think about how to load the necessary pieces incrementally, as they were needed by the user. Instead they designed a system that needed a whole pile of crap on startup even if the user didn't.
Some (legacy?) web applications written in flash (using Flex SDK for example) still require some time to download, considering that the binary of 2mb takes at least a few seconds to download, showing a splash screen to a user instead of the blank page would be much better than having user to wonder if the page/app is going to load at all, like in [1].

Different people can have very different ways of processing information, and what works well for you may not work at all for others. I, for example, am not very good at picking up and remembering information from hearing someone speak. Taking notes (or just doodling) helps keep me focused on what the speaker is saying, and my notes give me something that I can read over later to process at my own pace.

Do you use a browser plugin?
So, the same tech as the iPhone 6 is now obsolete?
Even if you used exactly the same toolchain you would not get the same checksum because the binaries will probably have some other information embedded, such as timestamps.
var foo = function (len) {
return Array(len)
.join(0)
.split(0)
.map(function (e, i) {
return function () {
return i;
};
});
};
Both of those rely on having proper cabal/ghc or python/virtualenv preinstalled on the host computer; you could ship cabal/ghc and python/virtualenv and then use a sandbox or virtualenv, but at that point you might as well just use separate package databases. (This at least was the original motivation for the split – I suspect you could do similar things with virtualenv/sandboxes, it's certainly not the only point in the design space.)
I got my job through careers. But then again, I work for Stack Exchange ;-)
Yes, change it now, before it's everywhere. The longer you wait, the worse the problem becomes.
Apple sells hardware and now services. Software seems to be a cost center. So I doubt a third party OS like Linux will ever be a priority for them in their consumer products.
But it’s part of the answer isn’t it? As I understand it the answer in general is more, smaller access points each with less tx power. My wish would be that those mesh extensions wouldn’t then rebroadcast the signal at max 2.4ghz power but then you’d be pilloried by ignorant YouTube reviewers who rank solely on “how many bars at max distance”

In most cases I feel your best position is in the ceiling at the center point of the house. I did that myself but at significant cost - fishing cat5 thru walls and ceilings and repositioning the incoming wires to the basement. 99.9% of users will never take that approach.
I've used both balsamiq and Irise with great results @ client sites. My first iRise experience went great. The client developed two pages of specs for an ERP integration project over a months time. Within two days of using a proto-type we threw away those specs and were able to show them what they had really wanted. When you are dealing with UX issues and people who don't code it's so critical to show the client upfront what is going to happen. I can't tell you how many hours of rework we saved by having discussions of workflow, textbox locations and other seemingly minor ux elements. Once we are done with the mockup and the flows are defined it's very hard for someone to screw up the code. Overall great experience. I may write a blog detailing some of the finer points one day.
Scott, I do in fact have more than just an idea. Thus far, I have been able to close deals. I bring previous entrepreneurial experience, a solid understanding of business, business plan development experience, a network of management consultants, capital and connections to VC, and perhaps most importantly, a scrappy, fire-in-the-belly desire to bring my idea to market.

I described myself as a "business-type sort of" because I am not a hacker myself, AND I am not a suit. While I understand and very much like business, I wanted to communicate to readers that I am not your traditional NY businessman that wears a three-piece suit and has an aura of Armani cologne.

Thank you for your advice on building an alpha version of the idea, and taking that to programmers. This is the type of feedback I was seeking from my post. I have not tried to convince programmers of my idea yet, so the jury is out on whether or not I am really a business-type.

As a non-hacker yourself, I am curious as to what brings you to the HN forums? I hope you were not offended by satirical post, and I do thank you for your response.
Specifically to our site - if you see an article you like but don't have to read it, then you can use our bookmark it with 1 click of a button and save it to view later. You can also organise all your bookmarks in an easy way and follow people who you find bookmark interesting things.
Run the startup as a syndicate with democratically determined division of duties and compensation, of course!
It would be interesting to build this, then run Ada Lovelace's program on it. Imagine that - running software that was written in Victorian times on a computer that should have been built in Victorian times.
No, the article describes the practice of acquiring political power, not economic power.
Hey, welcome to the fray!

Save articles for viewing later - so now you can bookmark and view sites later, a combination we do not think exists.

I assume you mean 'read it later'. I think it's hard to find a bookmarking service that doesn't offer this, these days.
You can probably make your promotional verbiage more distinctive by taking a look at the various competitors.

and what feedback you may have

Bookmarklets don't work in Chrome.
IMO if you really need to do heavy-duty processing, C/C++ will be fastest. On the other hand Node will make development easier.

You have to judge for yourself which will be a better use of resources. Having more costs upfront for programming, or more costs in the long-run for servers.
I think the article said that you don't need to use Hadoop for everything and that it might be much faster to just use command line tools on a single computer. Of course you might find a use case where the total computing time is massive and in that case a cluster is better. I still don't think many use cases have that problem.

We are doing some simple statistics at work for much smaller data sizes and the computing time is usually around 10-100 ms so it could probably compute small batches at almost network speed.
You are getting down-voted because Paleo is not scientific.
Really? Why are they annoying?
I don't know of many big ticket amps you can turn on before you turn on your big ticket preamps and don't run a risk of having an expensive bad day.

Why? Because you are amplifying the turn on signal from the source or preamp.

Every time you have ever turned audio equipment on and heard that thump or pop, you are hearing the same phenomenon that ran the risk of damaging headphones left plugged in. It just so happens in most cases the amount of power involved isn't significant, but it does become so once you enter the realm of high powered amplifiers.

There's nothing inherently wrong about a design that doesn't include a muting relay because it is supposed to be understood how the device is operated, in the same way there's nothing inherently wrong about a car design that doesn't lock the gas tank while the car is online and running - you are supposed to know you shouldn't fill up your gas tank while the vehicle is on, and if you do so, there are risks. (Yes, sparks from the engine compartment of running cars can and do cause fires while refueling, albeit rarely)
Parsing and compilers are an area where I think "the theory gets in the way"; I started by reading the Dragon Book, and while I (vaguely) understood what it was talking about, the feeling it gave was "parsers are complex, use a parser generator instead"... which sounds like a good idea until you actually try to debug one. I eventually realised that recursive descent was much simpler, and with things like the "Let's Build a Compiler" articles everything became so clear and it felt like all that theory I learned before was mostly useless. I think the fact that top-down parsers are theoretically less powerful doesn't make much difference in practice; and the trend of compilers (in C at least) now seems to be to move away from generated parsers and to recursive descent.

Big, "production quality" compilers like GCC and LLVM use RD, and so do small ones like (o)tcc and various others' "toy compiler" projects (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8558822 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8576068) The "precedence climbing" method (http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/exp_parsing.htm ), which simplifies and makes RD more efficient, is common too but I don't think I've seen it appear in any of the usual academic texts.
I've also read that if you have the pin, you can get the password even after WPS is turned off, which means it's a permanent pwn.

Random comment I read somewhere, so may not be reliable.
Perhaps the subprime crisis could have been avoided altogether if our banking sector wasn't so sleep deprived. Seriously.
And announcing there's a problem is not evidence that the problem does exist.
If you are looking for an intentionally anti-militaristic message, I recommend the movie over the book. If you enjoy unintentional messages, the book is fantastic too.
There is a difference between "consequences for foreign policy" and "consequences for the people actually on the ground".

Swift action on the part of the military and State Dept. after the leaks is what helped make it possible for there to be, in the end, little consequence to foreign policy and little to no fatalities for the people they knew about.

That does not mean, however, that there was no existential threat between the time the leaks were published and the time when that action was finally complete.

The fact that the State Dept. might have been able to salvage the situation doesn't mean there was never a problem in the first place.
Don't forget to patent it and sue everyone who uses it, OP.

suggestion: seems to only be one level of bounciness, and it only applies at the end of the scroll. itd be cool to see the screen morph while the scroll occurs as a function of the velocity of the scroll, and giving a bounce that's appropriate to the change in velocity.
You said the article disagrees with RRC's post, which it does not. It seems now you're just taking issue with the progression RRC made to get to the point? Or that you think she should have gone into the paper she cited? OK. But it doesn't make claims contrary to the OP. And the thing you quoted does not disagree with the other thing you quoted.
> The OP made mention of how Manning's leak directly led to intelligence sources imprisonment and death.

just because someone mentions something, does not make it true.

up is down.
Whose teaching them they cant?
From a "consent of the governed" mindset, government is one kind of collective effort. There are collective efforts that are not "a part of government", and certainly there is a difference between individual action and further empowering police or the armed services.

From a pure "the government will expand regardless and pay no heed to anything the populace does or says" standpoint, there's not much point in discussing any action of any sort. But backing off that just a little, if the popular mindset at least helps determine how that bureaucracy expands then privately limiting terrorism might help push the growth along less harmful avenues.

What form that should take is certainly subject to further discussion - I think we agree that companies adding backdoors, monitoring and informing is a bad approach and I don't think it's what the parent meant to suggest.
No, it is not. I've lived in several countries/continents in the past decade. So did many friends. We used traditional banks and newer players like Transferwise. Using BTC or any other shitcoin would have been less practical, riskier and more expensive, when not downright illegal (some countries control and limit capital outflows).
I didn't see where "poor" and "poorer" was defined. Did I miss it?
Just took a quick look and the first example does that hateful thing with starting lines with commas. Even if that's just a convention thing it instantly makes me want to avoid it.

Just allow trailing commas at the end of lists. It's much less jarring and unfamiliar.

Trivial? Maybe. But my brain takes a while to adjust to new conventions and I do it way too frequently already.
they may be less demanding or strict so less harmful. That is far from the point as it not following the pleasure of learning.
Considering some of the poverty-stricken ghettos, shanty areas and the general wealth divide in the US (whatever it's very many other benefits and positives), this is a very oddly titled essay.

As for the housing crisis, we should maybe consider looking at the number of empty ones and those used as purely a financial instrument rather than homes before giving the free for all building go ahead the author implies.

"limited" to 16bit 44.1khz? that's the sample rate and bit-depth you get on CDs. and it has been A/B tested to death - higher bit rates and sample rates have (at absolute most) little to no discernible impact on sound quality - AirPlay is more than enough.

"pro audio" uses 24 bits for sample storage, so that the noise floor remains inaudible after processing has happened to each track. 16 bit output is more than adequate for monitoring.

He does have a point about difficult/time consuming questions not being worth the effort but only if you are just looking to increase your SO score.
> There are several types of proof. Nick Ashford and I observed the same patterns of inexplicable new-onset intolerances across very different toxic exposures in over a dozen countries. Sheep dippers using organophosphate pesticides in rural areas of Europe, radiology workers inhaling chemicals while developing films in New Zealand, Gulf War veterans, EPA workers in a remodeled and poorly ventilated office building in 1987, cleanup crews breathing fumes after oil spills. Many would get ill, and a small percentage never recovered. They became exquisitely sensitized, as well as disabled.

This doesn't really sound that crazy to me. People working with industrial chemicals need protection. This is a widely known and accepted fact. It doesn't point to the entire population getting sick from small doses of chemicals in their day to day lives, like the flame-retardants in their mattresses, as the article opens up claiming.
Marx was dead right all along.

We should not work for capitalists who plunder the nations wealth with the help of politicians for them to make more money off our efforts.

We should fight for (believe me these leeches won't give up very easily) fair share in aggregate wealth and people should not work for subsistence anymore esp when we have all these resources available on the planet.
Refer to Sec 215 of bill.
Doesn't seem to have stopped people criticizing VC firms.
This video is kind of long, but worth watching. He knows what he's doing.
So's medical marijuana, on a Federal level. No enforcement, no effect.
Maybe it's easier to blame people than software? Or maybe we don't have enough samples of bomb carrying people to train software with?
Because that doesn't create jobs. And every politician will tell you that we need to be creating jobs in these horrible times.
At least for Mensa in Germany you can also take an alternative test, that's not provided by them.

I know some people who are quite involved with Mensa in Germany, and they seem sane, so far.
In a lot of industries, I believe that to deliberately be the case.
I'm still waiting for Japan's default and that should have happened 20 years ago...
Twitter moderates. Parler is being required to do the same.
Paradox of Tolerance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
Completely ridiculous. If a major corporation in concordance with other entities bans speech that does toe the party line - that is quite literally fascism and something straight out of 1984.

BLM and their like was burning down cities for months with support from these same corporates, and that is suddenly OK and not morally questionable because orange man bad? I'm not defending the Trumpers who stormed the capitol, but the double standards are extremely blatant.

I think companies who are operating in spaces that may be targeted for wrongthink (pornography, arms dealers, even crypto to an extent) should seriously consider contingency plans (avoid vendor/platform lock-in, have a backup progressive web app in case your app gets booted etc.) in the event the leftist/SJW/mainstream media mob targets them and kicks them off large platforms (including infrastructure - AWS/GCP/Azure is NOT safe).
I get what you're saying but the other side of the coin is maybe the society at large is rejecting them. And they need to understand that they're not guaranteed an audience, If the society at large doesn't want to listen then they'll have to sloowly try to win some support.

They seem to forget that many on the left fought tooth and nail historically for things we now consider for granted but society wasn't on board for in the past.

And maybe some ideas just aren't that appealing and they'd do better to pull other ones to advocate for.
Doctors and technologists of various stripes have been working on this since before the dawn of digital computers. Let's take height as an example. Let's look at metadata needed along with that data point: 1. When was it taken? 2. How was it taken? 3. Who took it? 4. What measurement system does "cm" refer to? 5. How does the concept of height relate to other clinical concepts?

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/observation.html

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/observation-example-body-height.htm...

The simple stuff like BMI, BSA, etc. have been calculated for a long time without anything fancy like an inference engine. The challenge is that the surface area of different calculations needed outstrip the supply of people who can interpret the clinical question, identify the source data and encode them. A better approach is needed and is what folks are working towards.
They are a minority. You can argue that putting them closer to the general public will normalize them, but there has been no sign of this. In fact quite the opposite. Putting them closer to the general public only simplifies recruiting. I think it is naive to assume their bubble can be forcefully diluted; at best we can take steps to stop promoting it.
> How is this any different from the entirety of human history? America has gotten along quite fine without a central Ministry of Information directing what people should and should not believe is true. It is especially galling to think that some content moderators in the very narrow slice of society in Bay Area tech is qualified to do that job.

I agree that information being concentrated in a few platforms is harmful. But are you saying that you are owed having your speech amplified by others?

Remember our founding fathers starting opposing media outfits to slander each other? I don't think they were willing to print each others' stories verbatim.
Well, hey, as long as its your sub-human enemies going off to the death camps, it doesn't really matter, right?
Joe Rogan is not a person to quote as a source.
The other downside is that you can't use custom software to fix up video. Netflix has a fairly poor player - more than one I've had to go torrent something I was trying to watch in Netflix due to one playback issue or another.
From brightness to subtitles, to frame positioning (shifting the whole playback area down to fit better on my wall when projecting very wide formats) - Netflix offers nothing. Even worse for audio, where I often pump center channel dialog and perform normalization.

It's sad how advanced the tech is compared to how limited our use is. (For instance, it's technically trivial, but usably difficult to add Rifftrax (MST3K reborn) to a movie on Netflix.)

Edit: The really nasty part is that this technology in general isn't bad. I love TPMs, for instance. Gives me a fairly easy way to get relatively strong security, say, to store my disk encryption keys, without memorizing a passphrase. Trusted computing can allow the user to remain in control. But slipping in DRM gets people understandably upset.

OTOH, I can't find details on exactly how this video stuff works. Wikipedia points at the GPU part, making it seem like it's just the same HDCP-kinda stuff that's been around for a while. (Annoying, but ultimately a decision of your kernel to enable. As in, media isn't encrypted at the source to some Intel key.)
do you know the name of the doc or have a link?
Those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know.
The utility of (and general lack of consequences for using) these dishonest rhetorical strategies is unlikely to go away as they are a culmination of the general obstructionist political environment of the DNC/RNC duopoly since (at least) the early 90’s.

We are in a tough place.
And remote self-destruct!
Can you explain the Billy Bob reference for me?
That's why you create some sort of police, have them look at those places, and watch if anything leads to some real world movement.

You should also watch it for damaging lies, and have a judiciary system that makes them fix any damage those lies create.

What you don't create is a paraestatal censor authority empowered to cut any information it wants out of the internet. (You don't create an estatal one either, but that's not what we are talking about here.)
Reddit are front of the queue of people who were warned and ignored the problem for years because of page views. This stinks of bolting the door after the horse has bolted. Now /DonaldTrump is likely going to shrink we can close it.
Awesome multilayered use of "visceral".
Follow up. The rioters setup a set of gallows and were chanting “kill Mike Pence”. They hate him with a righteous fury.
My love for computers started with my C64, I'm very nostalgic about this period. I'm very admirative to people putting so much effort into their passions.

However, with so many more useful (and possibly lucrative) things to learn and do, I would never find the time for programming C64 demos.
Numbers is a toy. Pages is a page layout program, and Keynote is nice to use for doing presentations but not really capable of generating Office compatible documents
If my business pays for a great programmer, I want that programmer's knowledge, experience and attitude to diffuse to the rest of my team (... not that I have a business, just sayin' :-). Much harder to do this if that great programmer isn't in the office.
Wow, gitignore is an OSS project?! Didn't know this. Are you looking for collaborators? Love your project and have been looking for something to tinker with on free time. Kudos for great work!
