Agree completely. The method I describe is not prescriptive for a general population. However, it can be taken as a case study and an opportunity for experimentation.

It is also refreshing to see that modern science is now starting to investigate these various practices so as to determine the mechanism and physiological impact behind them. The fact that psilocybin and ayahuasca are now being researched for their medicinal properties under lab settings is refreshing.

However, going back to breath work it would be nice if these publications gave credit to the original practitioners instead of framing the research as novel and revolutionary.
Is the name a reference to the main character of Peggle?

(Also, how does this compare speed-wise to Mongrel2? It easily handles the 4000 requests/second that my PSGI handler can do. I am sure it could do more if the backend was faster.)
Yah for the Arts Tower paternoster! I was based in the Mappin building but still found time to lark about on that thing. Sadly the Arts Tower also had a reputation for jumpers.
This is well said. The article is so weak and poorly laid out its like listening to a bad pop song through cheap speakers. It doesn’t even have a proper closing. Just ends abruptly.
Sam Altman clearly intended to be a public figure. Scott did not. This is not in question.
Well I guess we're splitting hairs at this point. No need to go another few rounds, I'll just thank you for pointing out Spacemacs, which looks pretty interesting.
Will check their online lectures, thanks for a pointer! Any other ideas?
I feel Randall Munroe summed it up the best: http://xkcd.com/792/ :).
Indeed, it helps me to stay away from hype tech until it finally settles mainstream adoption.

The good part is that I save lots of failed projects when that isn't the case, and get consulting gigs to port back into what everyone keeps using.
If he wants to use private platforms to be heard, then he, like you, me, or any other Joe Average, should probably comply with Twitter's TOS.

tldr: with all software-side mitigations turned on you are looking at ~15-25% decrease in performance.

Considering the millions of chips running worldwide and the CPU cycles / energy wasted on this, this really is absolutely horrendous.
No, it says "write subject here".
To inform its suggestions, it extracted tourists' movements between attractions in those cities from millions of photos uploaded to Flickr over three years.

It looks like they've invented a way to help me find the most crowded locations. Thanks, but I'd rather do it my own way.
That's because he's not a very good Go programmer, which is not surprising since he's clearly far too intelligent to use Go.
Conspiracy is defined in criminal law. You cannot be convicted of conspiracy for activity that is legal. You can make up any random other meaning you like, for any word, but sticking with dictionary meanings enables clear communication.

Grid energy storage requires no new technology. It isn't used yet most places purely because it hasn't been needed yet. Absent carbon tax, natural gas has been much cheaper, thus far.

Bill Gates does what Bill Gates does for reasons that Bill Gates is not obliged to be open or honest about. We may each draw our own conclusions.
I think this derives from “state-sponsored”. “The state” has a distinct meaning from country or nation which I think is important to capture too.

I think your point about confusion with constituent states is spot on though

Totally. I tried to phrase it as a "cool off" period since they were last employed by the company. If someone hasn't worked there in five years, they're not involved in the present day debacle and can't vote against company practices.

That seems all that's necessary to "install" Zurb, although I don't have time to do more than a quick skim. There is an entire page on their web site on how to get support:

That's all I have time for now - good luck.
But re-imaging desktops and re-training can largely be internal costs. It's asking your staff to add another item to their to-do list. Whereas, keeping Microsoft licenses means actual cash being spent.

It doesn't need to be unusually high levels, that's the point. You are already half way to the TUL just from ensure.
It think you've actually hit the nail on the head here. What we need is some leaders.

Can you name one leader in the Arab Spring movements?
Turkey protests? etc.
Modern ways of communication take away the need of a leader we can inform ourselves and join an upcoming movement.
What we need is a way to coordinate and get enough like minded people thats enough.
It's illegal here too. Didn't stop Khosla and his billions.
That might work for a very small community, but past a certain size it fails. Even reddit has had a large number of times that doxxing or threat's 'slipped through', not to mention things like the white supremacist subreddit that encouraged it.
> There SRPMS are open source because they have to be, not altruism.

Disagree. I think RH opensources a lot of products because they really do believe it's better (whether that be for "the community" or simply their bottom line). Look at how many (large) proprietary software systems RH has opensourced: Satellite (Spacewalk), SPICE, RHEV-M (oVirt)
Huh. Centinel, Federal Farmer, Brutus, and Cato[1] would all have issues with this policy.

That's absolutely, categorically untrue.

If you received a death threat on hacker news that listed your full name, and your kids' school addresses, wouldn't that give you a panic attack? I'd call that harm without a doubt.
From what I've observed, a great number of people who don't yet directly have access to new innovations aren't jealous, but are excited about the prospect of these innovations eventually getting wider application.
I love Azure if you're working with the MS stack. I'm assuming its by design though. I can one click deploy with Visual Studio, which is pretty awesome.

I do however, have the same issue. What if I'm not working in the MS stack? What about deploying a NodeJS app or just some basic PHP or Ruby site? Even their very high level tutorials have issues, which you see in the comments. No one has really put together decent documentation on how to do work that isn't directly related the MS stack.

I honestly thought they would have better documentation by now, but maybe I'm just being too optimistic?
There was a time when you could blindly trust Google to put out products for developers, with development in mind. That time is long past.
Busy routes, like NYC - London - Tokyo, will likely have enough traffic for a couple flights daily. The jet probably would not have to be as large as a Concorde was to be profitable.
Yes, this is what I saw. HOWEVER, when you run he numbers, you can NOT get the same values that Google represents. The value for "C" is WRONG! It should be 8338041. This changes everything. ===> http://goo.gl/fpJsJ
Well, I think the speed was precipitated by the fact that Yahoo had already shut down a legendary property, Geocities. It's easier to believe that they'll do that again with another piece of their tech than it is that they'll do the right thing and either support it or sell it off.
1) Android is growing like wildfire

This was an acquisition.

2) Google App Engine serves over a billion page load a day.

Is it profitable? (I'm actually ignorant here.. not snarkiness).

3) Google Apps? I love it--

As do I, but not yet so much to pay for it.

Spin-off is a technique, but I don't think it's the only way to go.

Random numbers in election systems are an absolute no-go.

Suppose that a court rules that one district must be re-counted, and based on the result there will be a new, random candidate.

This creates incentives for going after re-countings if your political opponent has won the lottery, not because the result will be much different, but simply because you get a second chance in the lottery.

It boils down to the thought that repeatability is import for fairness. Somebody claims that your DNA is identical to the one collected from the crime scene? You can make a second test and verify the first one. You think you have been treated unfair in court? You can repeated the trial at a higher court. All the doping tests in sports are verified by repetition.

The list is nearly endless. Even if a random experiment does treat you fair, you can't known.

The second point is that randomness only creates the appearance of fairness on the large scale, single individual still get treated unfair.
"... You can make sense of anything that changes smoothly in space or time, no matter how wild and complicated it may appear, by reimagining it as an infinite series of infinitesimal changes, each proceeding at a constant (and hence much simpler) rate, and then adding all those simple little changes back together to reconstitute the original whole. ..."

That had better apply to all services the same. If it applies to Netflix but not a competing service that the cable company has a part in, I call foul.
Good timing on this Tweet. I had just downloaded Emacs with the hope of trying it out as a Notepad++ replacement. Think I'll save it for when I have more time to play around with it.
I expected something more interesting given the title. I do see what you did there, sir, and it was mildly amusing, but not nearly as epic as the title suggests. Not really trolling reddit so much as exacerbating an existing condition; or so it seems to this one.
A bookkeeper will want to eventually categorize all your receipts by type, so if you're losing detail by going paperless (or losing track of things altogether), you may need to rethink that.
I respect Clojure as a language, but I'd respect the community a lot more if they didn't oversell their language and didn't trash on competing languages so often.

As an example, the only time you hear Clojure mentioned in the Scala community is when it is being complimented or porting of one of its features to Scala is being discussed. On the other hand, The only time you hear Scala mentioned in the Clojure community is when it is being derided as an inferior creation to the mighty Clojure!

Even in this article, which is supposed to be about the community's response to Clojure, the author both ignores the fact that Scala is the next most favorite language of those interviewed and also reserves a nice bullet point at the end for putting it down.
Bradford sorry for dismissing your post so fast but I don't agree with the way you try to conciliate the two approaches.

Those are two different problems at different levels. Minimum Viable Product is a principle to follow at a tactical level to drive the development. The strong vision you refer is required at a strategic level.

Depending on your role you should rely more on one or the other but trying to conciliate the two may just create more ambiguity because they guide decisions at different time-frames. A product manager without an holistic vision will not understand the drawbacks in adding yet another customer requested feature. A team lead focused on the strong vision will try to integrate the new feature with the whole system, slowing development cycles.

The two principles are fundamental for developing a great product but they define the mission of different parts of the system.

By the way, I really liked your blog. I don't know if it's new here on HN but it's new for me.

http://measuringmeasures.com/blog/2010/6/3/software-product-... Wow, love to see how you explained, it really ressonated with me. Yesterday in the end of the scrum sprint retrospective a big discussion arose where this would have been helpfull.

Well, my company only works on gpl stuff and doesn't suffer any inconvenience from that. So I call bluff.
Agree that hypocrisy is a strong word for something that's just a how-to.

Anyway, my point was that his recommendations are not worth much.
That would surprise me greatly. I've seen Apache side-by-side with nginx. In a similar configuration, Apache isn't much slower, and doesn't use a "huge" amount of additional resources. Yes, it's bigger per-process by a few MB (which admittedly does add up, in very high load environments), and it's a little slower, but unless you've configured Apache in a dramatically different way (such as running mod_php in Apache vs. an fcgi configuration under nginx) the differences simply aren't "huge" or "massive".

So, is nginx faster and smaller, in general, than Apache? Yes. But, by a "huge" or "massive" margin? Unlikely. Unless, of course, you've got a pathological configuration or one that is tuned for other priorities (like security in a shared hosting environment, for example, or other areas where Apache clearly outclasses nginx in terms of capabilities).

I'm just saying it's not a big deal that Apache is as popular as it is, and if anyone is suggesting changing web servers as the first, second, third, or fourth area to tackle when performance is an issue, it's probably bad advice. The application or the database are almost certainly where your attention should go first.
If all you want is the git deployment workflow it's incredibly easy to do on any host that give you SSH access (including shared hosts):

I've been using this on my personal site and it works great.
It wasn't "bugs" it was all the hoops to jump through, conflicting hoops, multiple installed versions, pip vs all the other package installers, that also caused conflicts, etc...

Since I am not a Python dev, I would be unable to provide a useful report even if it were bugs.

It's not volunteer work if the school, fraternity or sorority requires it of you.

It's not voluntary if it's a requirement to get into the school/frat.

It's more like free forced labor that most of the time is not even needed by the non-profit but hey the kids need certain hours so let's make the move garbage from one trash can to the other all day and if they finish early make them move it back.

How do you place value on an import? Let's say you import an Airbus, and you have to declare its value. Do you just add up the kgs of aluminium and plexiglass and carbon fibre and steel? Or do you itemise it and say you paid this much for the engines and this much for the fuselage? How do you account for the labour? Or the R&D? Nevermind the computer system(s) that flies the thing.

In the world of physical things we know the value of something based on how much someone is willing to pay for it. That should include all the materials and labour and R&D etc. So we can know how much someone paid for the Airbus and that's it's market value.

In the past, if you filmed something overseas or maybe just did the VFX work, you would send back reels of film. I imagine that most of the time when getting them through customs just the physical value was declared - ie $10k for some Kodak film. Nevermind the fact that you may have paid someone overseas $100 million for the completed movie. From a customs point of view it's impossible to tell the difference between someone's student film and a Hollywood blockbuster, the medium is the same.

Now deliver the film digitally and all trace of it goes away. So Hollywood can send a check for $100 million to the UK and get back a digital copy of a film which doesn't show up as being imported at all.

The complicating issue here is that someplace like the UK might offer a 25% subsidy to make the movie there, so you spend $100 million, get a digital copy of the film and a check for $25 million from the UK (or just pay $75 million depending on how it's arranged). Which causes jobs to be lost in the US, but it's harder to see than when someone changes the price of steel because the actual product is invisible to the normal import process. Why is a movie different than an Airbus? (This could be used as an argument against tariffs and import duties in the first place (even on Airbuses), ie free trade, which is why they're pursuing CVDs which came into effect through various free trade agreements.)
It really worked
>He really should not have been looking for solutions himself.

Actually, I think at this point he had waited too late to ask for competent help. Here we have a custom Bitcoin client, written in what is probably a tangled hairball of PHP. The Bitcoin protocol is already fairly complex, and even Bitcoin software written by competent developers using modern software development methods can be tricky to understand (see btcd for an example of a well-engineered client).

How many engineers could fix that in a reasonable period of time?

Add to that the fact that there are only a handful of competent programmers in the world who also are experts at the Bitcoin protocol, and I'm not convinced that he could have convinced any of them to take on the task. Most of them are already wealthy, and they have a lot of reputation to lose by trying (quite possibly in vain) to fix a dying company.

Mark's biggest mistake was in trying to do this all himself once Bitcoin really took off. So yes, a valuable lesson for entrepreneurs.
You got me right.

He seems to have a problem with the idea that the western world figured something out that China hasn’t (yet). Or the idea that different values cause different outcomes.

Or the issue is that I’m not making much of an argument? Seemingly implying that my conclusion is obvious. In that case, I apologise for not going into more detail here.
What is the license?

I am author of Stack WM [1]. Also C#, but all the configuration and layouts are defined in WPF XAML and are generally static (e.g. like PowerToys, but much more flexible due to WPF containers and data binding + you can make WPF-based widgets).

Curious about the license for I am interested in having a common library for window manipulation. I am using VirtualDesktop [2] to handle Windows desktops, and it needs some love.

Thanks for the tip, however I am more interested to learn more about different culture and people, therefore "developing" myself.
I am especially interested in the intersection of Economic and IT, because I am pretty good with people, but also like the logic and flow of information. Logically I think Distributed Systems and Infrastructure is my field of CS. Therefore I think it is a better time investment for me to study abroad, gain a new perspective on different topics, while expanding my knowledge on distributed systems/networks by visiting a University, which teaches the theory, and exploring different Homelabs or other projects on HN for the "real life" use.

Why not just allow your users to write their weekly post during all the week (and saving it while not publishing it) but just allowing to publish once a week ?

In doing so, there would be no real scarcity for the writer (the post can be edited to the infinity) and you encourage writing long prose.

Your UX should show that editing the post is the default option and publishing it should be some ritual (maybe send a notification when it is possible?)
In CoCalc, I use a fourth approach that I think isn’t in your list. https://blog.cocalc.com/2018/10/11/collaborative-editing.htm...
I don’t claim it is better than any other approach, except it is easy to understand. Also I’m not sure that it isn’t technically an extreme special case of OT.

> why would the US government allow them to fly? To the US? Even once?

Because it was never about him being dangerous. It was about creating a condition where he felt trapped. And if you are a US Citizen stuck in a foreign country international news orgs notice that. Investigations get started. Questions get asked. And this thing that is wildly unconstitutional gets asked about in a public court. But if it's a US Citizen in the US it can be conveniently swept under the rug. The investigations now not so urgent.
