My experience:

1) submitted my signup details, the page never returned a response and just hung there, but I did receive an email and was able to login

2) There's no difference between "add item" and "insert after" on the last item - but there is no way to add an item to the start of the list. I have to insert after the first item then re-order

3) I could never use this on a daily basis but I could really use it for week-to-week planning, especially if it had an API

4) As such I would prefer gcal style dragging/gantt style blocks

5) If you could create a simple "time block allocation" tool I'd pay to use it.

The use case for me would be to plug my task system (for which I actually use my own CMS where I create pages for each "sprint"). I currently use Google Calendar but the API is kind of hellish and I've never gotten around to using it.

The fact is that daily planning revolves around a few things for me: things that arrive in my inbox, things i'm supposed to be working on (time blocked off in google calendar) sales/follow up tasks (I use highrise, this comes under "things that arrive in my inbox") and appointments (for which I use google calendar).

I then timesheet everything via an IRC chat room (as do my colleagues).

All that's missing is an elegant interface for blocking off time for tasks, being able to rearrange them and then export all the information via an API so that I can see directly how scheduling is affecting my cashflow without having to update a bunch of spreadsheet data.
I seem to be missing why you think using a framework is a bad thing. With say django or YUI there are performance and abstraction issues that can bite you, but I don't see those mattering for so lightweight a framework and tightly scoped a problem.
"not to let them drive your decisions"

That's possible, but they will be a factor in your business if they are unfairly slamming you in reviews.
I don't know the market, but I'd aim really big and build your brand and community. Give the owners a couple of small wins before you stake your reputation on something really big and ask them to buy into something risky. Good luck -- sounds like a fun opportunity.
Which suggests that working on open-source compilers tends to support the open-source ecosystem more than working on end-user apps.
He balanced the budget and had a surplus for those years, but the problem is, we'd need to maintain the Clinton era surpluses for 90+ years to actually pay off our current debt.

I'd love to see it happen, but it doesn't seem likely.
Well, actually people are building these things, but they are focussing on one aspect, and skipping any non-interesting parts as far as possible. So, that payment system will have one or more innovative aspects, but it will likely not be robust, fast enough to handle thousands of customers, secure, capable of handling international payments, etc, and it will certainly not be all of them.
Wow, this would take real stones. I don't think I could do this.

I micro-predict that this will be the first of many livecasted coding personalities.
Oh I see. We did a lot of work to make the product use minimal battery on the phone so hopefully that helps.
Upvoted. I didn't see the link to page 2! It's too late now, I can't change it.
It rotates an ad every 10 seconds. Lame!
This very much depends on what field you're in. You'd be hard pressed to find business internships in astrophysics.
Google bookmarks doesn't appear to have RSS feeds.
>Rank your immediate family members on how much you think they'd like the top 5 TV shows from 2010.

ie, what's usually done with a large set of radio buttons, like in surveys? I hate those huge radio sets, but that's a usability / UI problem, not a missing-tag problem. (specifically: just bind the frickin' number keys, and auto-advance! 10x (or more) faster surveys, guaranteed. But nobody does this.)

But yeah, we probably will disagree. I can leave it here :)
> I had a math teacher in primary school who used to shout with an exaggerated accent, "simple is not the same as easy!"

I can imagine no more poetic description of the experience of reading Wolfram's A New Kind of Science.
It breaks the ability to Ctrl-F to find uses of the package foo. It’s surprising to other Go programmers.

If you’re working by yourself, go wild and do what you want. On teams, I’m much more likely to need to search through somebody else’s file to understand it or find something.

It also means that additions to foo might conflict with definitions in your package.

The reason this feature exists is to break circular dependencies in unit tests. So in foo_test, you might

import (
. "foo"
"fooutil"
)
I would make the argument that it was a gift.
As @regecks says below, you only need to add it temporarily and then delete the app. I agree they need the ability to have multiple keys.

I personally think the reason they require both to set up a security key is a user recovery issue. TOTP is highly reproducible and a security key is not. You can't back up your private key (by design). You just have to buy several and store them separately. I can encrypt my seed, put it in a QR code, and print as many copies as I want at no cost. If my backup Yubikey fails, I'm toast if I need recovery.
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

By simplicity, we mean frugality.

If you can implement something without adding a ton of dependencies, abstraction layers, and design patterns, it will be easier to understand and debug.

YAGNI is everything but abused.
Depends what kind of off-road. A lot of off-road involves fairly narrow tracks and tight spaces. This is a large vehicle compared to, say, a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
I don't agree that a WYSIWIG Markdown editor can't ever work well. I've been using Typora and MarkText a lot over the last year and usually only had to revert to the plain text view when doing larger formatting changes in enumerations/lists. Writing seems much more productive and less distracted that with a split view or plain Markdown/ LaTeX.

That being said, also Microsoft Teams is pretty awful when it comes to `code highlighting`. I haven't exactly figured out why it sometimes renders and sometimes not, it usually works when appending the ` to a letter and then pressing space, but not in other cases.

Just because BigCorps fail to deliver a good solution and then shove it down the user's throat anyway, it's not a bad idea per se. I'd love to have Google Docs & Slides with WYSIWIG Markdown.
Regardless of how much profits have gone up, Balmer will be remembered in the business world for one number: $35. It doesn't matter how much they sold, what investors care about is the stock price. And during his tenure, it has remained stagnant.
Abundant commodities, energy, and capital make low cost mass manufacture possible.

There are numerous items consumers, buy, use a few times, and then discard or store. There are even more items consumers use, and due to poor quality turn in to trash.

I'm not sure which is more backwards thinking. I am annoyed when something breaks and the cost to repair it exceeds the replacement cost.
A friend lived in Italy for awhile and they had all sorts of earthquakes on non fault zones. They thought it had to do with fracking. I haven't really read up much on this....but something else worthy to consider.

For anyone interested, I'd recommend Gasland.

This "new" evidence of contamination will not end it. People will be paid in quiet settlements, sell their houses at a fraction of what they paid for them, and move somewhere else. This will probably continue until the oil/bitumen/gas is gone.
thanks for that, excellent read. many forget that guns were allowed on flights until relatively recently, not everyone was xrayed and hijacking was common.

also like the point raised in the comments that the main thing that killed off the IRA as a major terrorist movement in Europe, was when their American supporters finally remembered what terrorism was in 2001.
Okay I see what you mean. Also, I went to Waterloo for ECE.
I'd heard of this effect, and I'd always wondered how it affected more homogenous populations. I wonder how much of the "freakyness" in Japanese culture (I mean from an American perspective!) can be explained by individuals trying to distinguish themselves from the thousands of very similar people they live with.
Thats awesome, I'm more than a little jealous I didn't think of that.
Ask and ye shall receive: the post has been updated with a new graph which includes data for both Erlang and Lisp.
Nice write-up Matt.

One thing I'm curious about the is continuous deployment. AppEngine has a 1000 deployment limit (http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Deployment...)

Is that a worry for you?
This is called a "risk". Companies do different things in response to different risks. To the "company will lose $100MM if one of 150 different people lose their phone" risk, many companies have adopted the "nuke from orbit" control. To the "phones may be infected by data-stealing viruses" risk, most companies have adopted the "qualified stake holder for affected data has signed a document attesting to the company's acceptance of that risk".

If companies had the black-and-white perspective on risk you have here, nobody would ever be able to deploy a line of code.

Does anyone know how this works? The article says the camera uses high frames per second, but that doesn't seem like enough to do this, he would have to run that whole distance with his camera in just two seconds, or have the camera on long rails. Maybe that's it, rails?
Those who are buying it right now are going to make a fortune as well.
Very often, probably most of the time, said white guy isn't even an ordained minister in any Church.

It's not really an issue, though, because doing a "Christian" wedding is more of a fashion statement than a religious one; there are very few practicing Christians among the native Japanese population.
"Don't worry it will be free" but you are going to sell my info? Not that I think you guys are, but

A) You need to explain you won't (I hope).

B) Provide a link to your company that shows you have proven your self to be trust worthy with customer data in the past. Before I sign up with a service I always look to see who is behind it.

--

If you don't have a company yet, start a web site for one. With some bios of who you are and a statement that expresses you care about customers, why you care and that won't sell their data.
The Uzebox impresses me, but this is even cooler. More power in a smaller form factor :)
Are you talking about Mac sales of the past number of years or just the past year? I don't think they've really increased all that much in the past few quarters.
Ah this again, I call dupe. We had this 8 days ago.

(more interesting discussion there)
I think Zune only had 10% market share for the first year or two. They dropped to 2% before Zune HD came out...so I'm betting they are at around 5% right now. Yeah it's not that good, but if they ever end up solidly at 10% market share again and stay there, I'll be impressed. I guess we're looking at it from different sides, but I see 10% as an okay done job. Also I think if they hit that, along with what they did with Xbox/360, the future doesn't look so bad for Windows Phone OS's prospects.
First, the guy clearly didn't do this, which would have been obvious if you would have taken 5 seconds to check before accusing him.

Second, even if he did, so what? I don't understand this animosity that a large part of hacker news seems to hold toward affiliate links. The tip he shared is clearly useful and might result in someone signing up for a rewards program. Is there anything wrong with him being rewarded for sharing that tip? How are affiliate programs worse than advertising, subscriptions, donation links, or any other form of monetizing content? Or is it literally making money that you object to?
"de-facto standard"? Where? I haven't seen an LZH/LHA file since I stopped using Fidonet. In Japan, maybe?

Or is this more of an obscure thing that is exploited by virus makers?
I do not see the correlation between myspace being dead and random dating site #235 succeeding.
Mostly agree, but RFC-4180 does specify delimiters. I've used pipe-delimited files for years to ensure explicitly-defined conformity, but recently due to the plethora of libraries have been thinking that CSV may be simpler.
MacOS restores everything, most apps have state saving and they also get restored exactly the way I left them, not just re-open. Only stuff like the terminal will need to re-init the scripts and sessions manually. I like that, it's good enough but I would prefer 0 restarts, of course.
Yes I have, and it looks really cool. Only problem is that to bridge iMessage, you need a jail broken phone or always-on Mac. I’d love something native.
Here Ray Dalio says he views Bitcoin as a gold-like asset.

This is the first time I have felt that Bitcoin has some value: as a commodity that wealthy people put their wealth into when they have nothing better to do with it. People are not buying gold because they ever plan to use the gold.
>They're literally saying he should have just thrown them away instead of distributing them as best he was able

I don't understand why people make arguments like this. Throwing them away and giving them to friends and family aren't the only two options. There's a whole swath of acceptable and achievable options.

Giving doses to friends and family is a pretty bright ethical line. I don't think arresting him is the right call. But there shouldn't be much dispute that he acted wrongly here.
While this case is quite bizarre, giving doses to random people rather than having the vaccine go bad is pretty common, and makes sense.

Except for one thing: If I am the lucky recipient of this vaccine, ahead of schedule (since I am under 75 and have no comorbidities), then what about the second dose? Do I have to get lucky a second time, the right amount of time after my first dose? (My understanding is that there have been no studies of delayed second doses.) Or am I given priority because I've had the first dose?
Have you ever considered, that you think people only care about it going up because you personally only see or hear about it when it goes up?
You are focusing on a very unlikely scenario instead of focusing on the bigger picture, the more people get it, the better it is for everyone, regardless of anyone's status. The rule is there for a reason is a terrible reason to do something that harms our society.
Nor becoming president.

It seems humanity is on firesale this days.
I don't downvote, so none of the downvotes are from me, however instead I'll try to learn: what examples would you consider as well-written in comparison?

So far from what I've read, it's extremely well-written; the repetition is to drill in specific points - just take it for that and not be annoyed by it, as it's not done in an annoying way - at least for how far I've read through so far.
Definitely experienced this with older dogs my family fosters. People go straight for the puppies but there are so many great older dogs in shelters. Just have to deal with some behavioral stuff (put up with barking most of the time).
Being that its Netflix whose office is in California, it is American work culture we are talking about so yes this is considered disrespectful.
This article is based on multiple studies done by people at Ivy League institutions. Trying to "throw the theory into question" with a few generalizations isn't contributing to intelligent discussion.

HN is fast becoming Slashdot, where people only read headlines before diving into commenting.
Agreed! It's all in the pipeline! EVERYTHING! :)
"Devil's avocado, Larry":

Assuming a perfectly efficient system, that's slightly under $2,000 per person per year.

Divided by 52 weeks, that works out to $38.00 per week in food aid. (In a perfectly efficient system; so, let's say a bit less).

Federal, State and Local governments had combined revenue of around 6 TRILLION dollars last year, 3.2 trillion of which was for the Federal government.

Does it seem unreasonable to you that the richest country on earth would spend 1/39th of its Federal revenue to give impoverished citizens $30/week of food aid?
You perceive yourself to be the least knowledgeable person in the room, but consider a few things:
- Knowledge comes with experience, it doesn't mean you're dumb
- With experience comes perspective
- You can become very knowledgeable in specific areas without having to be knowledgeable about all of them
- Don't burn yourself out trying to catch up
- Loud people are sometimes perceived as competent, it doesn't mean they are, they're just loud

All in all, this sounds like a very toxic work environment.
Get out and find a place that you can enjoy, nothing is worth becoming bitter like your coworkers.

Good luck !
> Why instead are we seeing massive amounts of unemployment?

Because enterpreneurialism is not the sole factor affecting economic growth, and European countries are currently dealing with various other issues.
I'm curious, can somebody talk about the differences between using React Native vs ComponentsKit?

It seems ComponentsKit is a very specific to iOS as opposed to React.

Yes, let's discredit everything the Node community has done.
You could say that about any diet. To vastly simplify Paleo, it's like chicken instead of sugary fruit loops. In other words, it goes counter to what may be convenient to eat, colorful, or marketed and branded really well to consumers. That in itself doesn't make it scientific but it starts with an assumption that the easiest and most popular/likable foods are not necessarily the only foods we should eat for long-term health.
Just because the goal is to use science does not mean it does. It uses evidence where it suits the beliefs of Paleo. This article is well written by an awesome scientist: http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2013/09/10/3842158.ht...
It's not just that creative resources are harvested but they are harvested by board members using way too much fertilizer and then flash ripened in warehouses using methane gas. The product is shit, ends up mostly wasted, and leads to a monoculture that will feed only a select few in perpetuity.
I'm assuming he's referring to Hexayurts:

http://hexayurt.com/
The volume control operates on the preamp section, the thump of amplifiers is usually generated on the power amplifier section, usually a sign of a bipolar power supply that at startup and power down rises/lowers voltage unevenly, resulting in DC output to the speakers.

Turning down the volume will do nothing, you have to remove the load and in many cases (speakers) that's infeasible. Not to mention something like a brownout/power loss could end up damaging the transducer anyway.

Being "high-end" is no excuse, cut-off relays do not affect sound quality and they are not expensive. It's just either laziness or advertising to people that don't know better. Again, there is no reason not to install shut-off relays.
The pillars of a lot of diets seem sound but aren't based on evidence and often ignore it.
I believe the best diet is based on a quote from Michael Pollan; "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." I disagree with a lot of what he says but that quote is fantastic.
50% really isn't a lot if you're talking about 18 total incidents, but this still is a pretty cool idea.
Man this is pretty DAMN cool! This definitely deserves more attention!

I'm an experienced web developer with interests in building usable, and scalable systems. Check out my recent project: https://www.doctant.com
I believe that you are speaking in good faith. I like to think I am as well. I guess reading your initial comment, I assumed that you were saying the overwhelmingly peaceful protests associated with George Floyd were the same as those who peacefully participated in the protests but not in the violent insurrection; but I just can’t think of the peaceful maga protesters in the same light as those peacefully protesting for fairer policing. I agree with you that it’s very nuanced, but I make a distinction because of the visuals and results of the assault on the Capitol by the extremes of their group. Furthermore, one side worships Trump and his actions while the other just fundamentally wants fairer and better police.
I know my post came out as aggressive, that was not right. For that I apologize and believe you were not equivocating.
(Trying to convey nuance on mobile is hard, sorry for word soup)
True, but you still cant do first paint until all css is loaded, and for people with fast connections, the latency of the extra roundtrip matters more than the size of the file downloaded (within reason)
I will take that link at face value, so Trump is just as bad as Obama? Great, they're both loathsome in my book. Count me in. :)

>He was banned for inciting violence using Twitter's platform.

He supposedly incited people with his rally speech. Besides, I don't think the mob was checking Trumps twitter feed for instructions. The violence seemed premeditated to me.
> completely done with the bullshit

I'm over and done with Trump, but it would have been a lot more effective for everyone if they had let him skulk meekly off into irrelevance.
A fact is a thing that can be objectively verified.

It is a fact regardless of a person’s experience. The word you’re thinking of is opinion. Which is how someone interprets a fact or a set of facts.
I think Dumbing of Age is targeted at people who are post-college, not kids. A lot of the humor and depth is most manifest to people who have gone through similar crap and can look back on it nostalgically.
I'm curious- did it change your parents' views about DUI inspection stops? If they found them innocuous (or at least constitutional) before the incident, do they still feel the same way?
The software runs on Nvidia hardware.
Not sure if all their servers are fitted with one or more GPU cards...

I think it is more likely that this is just research software.
I work for a home health company that specifically cares for sick employees of the nuclear era. People who worked at sites like Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Savannah River Site, Hanford and elsewhere. Some of their stories are really incredible - particularly the level of secrecy.

Sadly, many ended up getting sick due to the dangerous work environment. I've seen pictures of guys holding uranium rods with barely any protection.

Many wont speak or seek help because the secret nature of the sites is so engrained into their psyche.
The only time I've heard admiralty law mentioned is in conjunction with "freemen of the land" and other weirdness; what is the issue with it?

Is this anything to do with the Amistad case?
The crux of this argument is the following: The attacker must first create a compromised version of ECDSA. The attacker will now watch for consecutive signatures signed by the compromised ECDSA on the blockchain.

It's not as bad as it looks. Basically if your source code is audited and your random number is really random, you are fine.
