You don't have to attend to get value out of classes.

Just look at the reading lists from design classes. You'll find introductory texts new and old, like "Design Basics, 7th ed." and "The Art of Color and Design (1951)," but they'll all cover the same things: line, direction, shape, size, texture, value, color, repetition, alternation, harmony, gradation, contrast, dominance, unity, balance, proportion. Take the class and you'll do exercises that let you practice each one, or you can find workbooks related to those textbooks.

Learn layout and composition. "Editing by Design" is a classic. Lay out text and design elements on paper (always Linux compatible). Cartography is also good: it's information design and layout and presentation and art all together.

Learn copywriting. Writing is design: the right word can explain a concept better than a big, shiny icon ever could.

Good web design is good design first, with accommodations made for low-resolution text, small viewports, backlighting, scrolling and pointers. Just as with programming, you can't learn it just by reading about it: you have to practice it.

If you're in Austin, TX, come out to a design workshop. I hold them every other week and we practice various elements of design (using the term broadly): http://vi.to/workshop/

If you're not, maybe there's something similar in your area.

Well...that is perhaps true. Sarbox did make IPOs more onerous. So that took away options, leaving just acquisitions. And the truth is, at those levels, there are very few options (especially in the middle of a credit crisis).

It kinda sucks though, that Tony had to be relying on $100M lines of credit from banks to purchase inventory. I would have thought that being the largest customer for many of these shoe companies he could have gotten favorable credit terms (up to even 60 - 90 days payable).

But maybe there are other reasons he chose not to go that route, or couldn't.
off topic, but my god - that is a terrible background/font color combination. I couldn't read the article and my eyes are still adjusting.
Congrats on the liquidity!

There will always be competition. I'm a huge fan of both YouTube and Twitch. I spend most of my leisure hours watching videos on those sites. They may enter the space, but even if they do, they'll have a long way to go before they can make us irrelevant. If we were ever to become irrelevant, it would most likely be due to other things, not those players.
I am a fool who can't help but read things hoping something good happens even when I am so upset I want to stomp out to have SOME control of SOMETHING. So I read your long reply before you edited it. I won't tear it down because you DID remove it. I just want you to know that's the kind of thing my family does...strangers have done...the unfair and wrong beliefs about me. It's only hopes and prayers, blame like that, and ONE actionable offer that life took away in 15 years. I am sorry it's so bad for you too. I am glad you have social assistance as a foundation. Everyone should have that net and it's what I most need and not having that is why I am so distraught and angry. I have always lived a life caring about the world, other people...animals (I spend part of my meager income on a cat that was one of 12 or so from 3 litters my family never cared for properly and never spayed/neutered and all died/disappeared from their garage but her, and I took her to the vet and make sure she is cared for since they don't seem to care half the time...having to adopt her out in the end is a great stress for me because I cannot guarantee her future with me here or not)...and proved it in my actions. Always. That I am falling to pieces now and cannot even manage myself doesn't invalidate any of that.
Somewhat tongue in cheek, but if we’re going to consider the hotel residents as actors, and the room as remuneration equivalent to the fair market value of the room, then US residents should expect to be paying income tax on their stay. Oof: this is sadly all too plausible a scenario.
I worked in fintech in NYC for a bit. The technology driving most critical financial infrastructure in the US is astoundingly antiquated. It is only sustained through the sheer amount of bodies and ingenuity thrown at it.
Thiel is wrong. What is happening in batteries is insane. SpaceX is doing amazing things in space and many smaller companies are doing great things too. Starlink itself is revolutionary, Starship is arguably even more so.

And btw the advancements in batteries and EV is exactly what is needed actually do flying cars, if that is even a good idea in the first place.

Government programs are often massively badly managed, politically captured, this is not new. But it doesn't mean nobody is inventing anything new anymore.
If profit isn't there, value is theoretical. You're just taking money from the VC (and the business' growth). You may find future rounds harder to fund.
On the other hand. Apple users can already determine the location of their phone and remotely lock or wipe out the iPhone using Apple's iCloud website. Thus apple has technical ability to do just the same - just a matter of sending few command by the server administrator.
> Legal documents are particularly bad to place under source control, because most of them already reference the previous code they are replacing. And, since the code is basically readonly what's the point of using github?

The code is not readonly at all, each law within the domain covered by the code is an alteration to the code. Individual laws are reified as commits, and the repository tracks the evolution of the code as laws get voted in and applied.
I agree and I even think that this will be unavoidable, if that kind of abuse keeps going on.

Government influence aside, Baidu would be free to host their analytics callbacks for the outside world outside of the GFW. If they stay accomplice to this kind of attack, no matter if forced or willingly, they will suffer.
Well, you know what they say: at the end of the day, it is what it is.
Also, the number of transistors in the path to switching the right bits from memory (even cache) is also getting comparable to the length of pipeline sections.
Thus far, I've only made $0.24 with my adsense account so if the IRS wants their nickel, I'm glad to give it to em. If my site should take off, I'll worry about it then. But thanks for making me aware of the problem.
Usually 4chan has some clearly stated/inferred reason they do these attacks. Anyone know why they picked tumblr?
If you don't care about user experience, sure, do this.

Otherwise, build native apps.

If you can name one successful app that's just a webview then this might be an option.
It seems like we could have gotten all the clicks we wanted, but they wouldn't convert.
The article on Programmable Web doesn't add any value to the original press release:

While I certainly agree with you that it's nowhere near as bad as rape or sexual assault, it's certainly something I'd go to jail for if I did it to someone. Heck, if a cop did that invasive a search without probable cause, he'd face repercussions and probably a lawsuit.
I'm working on a social networking service and would be interested to see if you can help. It's still very much under development but check it out to get a feel. familyengage.com
From OpenTable's own data, their revenue averages $600 a month from a given restaurant. Not a negligible cost, but doesn't seem outrageous.

Probably room for someone to undercut that, but it doesn't seem that the cost of restaurants controlling their own electronic reservations systems would be tremendously lower.

But maybe if restaurants did it on a cooperative basis. Hmm.
The therapeutic index for paracetamol (acetaminophen) is ~10 (or less for people with damaged liver etc)

Be careful with all medicines or drugs - taking more can easily lead to worse outcomes.

Edit: “In a review article on paracetamol toxicity among children, the therapeutic index was 1.7” [Heubi JE, Bien JP. Acetaminophen use in children: more is not better. J Pediatr 1997]
He didn’t recommend using the drug. And even if he straight up told people to eat massive doses meant for fish, that still wouldn’t absolve anyone from the consequences of their actions.
The FDA has not approved it for COVID-19.
Necessary it seems. I wonder whether mask wearing will become more prevalent in the west after this crisis blows over
Verbatim quote from the President: "if things don’t go as planned, it’s not going to kill anybody."

Edit: Yes, I realize what he probably meant. I know how meds work. I still think he should have chosen his wording more carefully.
The FDA has approved it as a prescription drug. You shouldn't use a prescription drug unless you have a doctor telling you to. A doctor would know to look for the side effects and contraindications of quinine (of which there are many).

Obviously, self medicating a prescription drug is irresponsible. None of what the president says changes that. He said the FDA approved it. Independent of the truth value of that statement, it would still be approved of as a prescription drug.
But those old orban voters are going to drop dead in masses very soon. So there is hope. Seriously.
Economists are stuck in a catch-22. If they find demonstrate-able patterns, investors take advantage of the patterns and change the rules of the game, putting the economists back at Square One.
The impactor device was very similar to a HEAT warhead; a high explosive shaped charge lined with copper. Detonation of the shaped charge turns the copper lining into what's called an explosively-formed penetrator of EFP [1]. Note that the device was separated from the main probe before use and the probe itself was below the horizon when the impactor was fired in order to avoid damage from debris.

Frankly, no. It's a report written from Armenia so of course it's written from that perspective. That alone doesn't make it propaganda. If I as Polish citizen write a report on Polish politics from my perspective that doesn't make it a propaganda piece now, does it? If there's a similar report from Azerbaijan I'll be happy to read it as well.
Steve jobs?? Really?
I would say Mark Zukerberg is a better example.
Netflix is a set in the right direction for keeping pirating down, but the fact that some content is available in another country is still to restrictive.
There is no evidence that such a 50x ratio exists, at least, not in a meaningful, actionable sense.

The traditional statement concerns a 10x programmer, and between the best programmers and the worst.

The comparison to Michael Jordan is irrelevant. Is there a 50x difference between a good and a great commercial airline pilot? Do we measure authors by productivity?
It actually would work the same way since Spartan would be saving an snapshot of the website once you create a comment on it.
If you don't annotate anything, there's no annotation to be reported to Microsoft. (And if Microsoft wanted a log of your browser activity, they could just put a back door in your browser.)
That doesn't tell you how long you can stay parked. How useful is it to know that you're currently allowed to park, without also telling you it's going to change to "No Parking" as soon as you've left your vehicle?

EDIT: If you could do a countdown timer to the next state, though, that'd be useful.
From the Q&A session that followed:

There is a core number of stored reviews/and author profiles, that I overlook to confirm that are fake.

two factor authentication: Things like this are probably the best argument for why I should get a phone, thought I still wouldn't have much use for it.

Also, it seems safer to write down your passwords. I mean, someone might physically take it, but that seems less likely than someone digitally taking it.
There was a lot of discrimination against non-white immigrants in the latter 19th century, not just Chinese (officially coded into law, of course), but Africans, Mexicans and Central Americans of obvious Indian descent. You could easily immigrate to the US...if you were white.
Agreed, it was disappointing. There were some trust issues surrounding Mono but also an excessive amount of hyperbole.

A real shame, as Mono is great technology with good GTK bindings and integrated well with the GNOME system. I think having Mono as a first-class GNOME environment would have been interesting.

I've spent the past week using Monodevelop and F# to develop compiler tools under Fedora and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Not to mention F# is well supported within IDE, almost equal to VS.
There is certainly influence in many directions. For example, some of the GWT and Dart compiler folks were inspired to do better by a presentation at Google about TypeScript, and ideas from AtScript were picked up by TypeScript.

"Just stop what you're doing" isn't helpful. People need to write code today, and we have solutions for them.
It still seems very expensive. $12/day? Also I wish I could buy a 1 day sample. I'd hate to be out $85 if I don't like it.
That's the point of an insurance policy: you want to say next year "Darn, I spent a small predictable amount of money and nothing bad happened so I got nothing for that money."

The more pertinent criticism of this strategy would be "Patrick, there are all sorts of ways for the value of your company to go to zero, including in the middle of a sectoral decline, without causing the options you purchased to be worth enough to meaningfully cushion the blow."

Cool, I'll have to take a look at that talk. We've had people ask about backfilling large amounts of data so it's something we'll have to figure out.
Hey, I'm not saying getting a job is the problem. I'm saying getting a job is the solution, at least that's what I've figured out during my career.

Maybe I could've simplified and said just practice.
ext2 was set by default to disallow non-root writes to disk at something like 90% or 95% full as even it would fragment under typical usage when too full.
This looks really similar to a giphy plugin we use at work.
And I just updated my older stable installs to 1.2.3. Garph!
There are people who are smart, and primarily belittle other people with it. There's a lot of these in the computer security industry, for reasons that should be clear.

There are people who are smart, who do not.

There are people who are smart, give you ideas, and let you take all the credit.

And there are people who are smart, and subtly guide you until you discover "your" idea on your own.

I suspect that there's some positive feedback in this; if you are successful, you tend towards the latter, more cooperative end of the spectrum, and then people, seeing that you're kind, think more highly of you, and give you more respect and on balance you end up more successful. The converse is also true (I'm battling a little envy and frustration myself).

There's a saying in politics that "nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care", and it's both corny and tainted by association with politics, but there's some truth in it; high intelligence is value-neutral - it can make you a more effective dick just as easily as it can make you a constructive force.
What this guy said!
Huh?

I'm pretty sure ad hominem doesn't mean what you think it means.

And I'm quite certain that his listing of funders could be easily verified. So unless you have information to the contrary, I'd characterize that list as "fact based" vs "misleading".
Seems like the one who has nothing else to do, or no expertise / interest in subject becomes a teacher. I can say that with confidence about my school. My physics teacher, for example, was hardly interested in explaining why we solved a particular problem in 'a way'.

If you ask him, He'd say "Just do it, will ya?" He wasn't into Physics at all. While this should be opposite. Most passionate people should teach. I know I could have learned most of it myself - but when it comes to 'real problem' and inspiring me to teach - you need a "great teacher". A thought leader.

My Chemistry teacher was an exception. He never started or ended lectures like others saying - "This chapter has xx quota in exams so study it well." He'd go in depths explaining real life problems and his lecture would complete on notes like, "When you become scientists - you will solve this problem [Liquidation of Hydrogen for example]"

Man that was a teacher, he inspired us to study Chemistry, looked at us as scientist and loved Chemistry himself.
They already use genderless no form-factors. Its an option available to everyone & more.
The impact on front-end development in the last three years has been undeniable.

Even now, you're either a Javascript Developer or you're a designer (a designer with HTML/CSS chops but really weak Js skills), the role of the front-end dev has morphed seemingly morphed into this two for some reason.
It varies. There are sometimes problems with private or small cemeteries that are run by an association running out of funds (or the association can end up with no members left).

A search for "cemetery disrepair" returns lots and lots of local news stories.
I believe that sentence is grammatically correct without the "why".
lol everytime something about React or Flux gets posted on HN, we get this massive comment thread debating how X React feature isn't best practices (Inline styles, full-app re-render, singleton dispatcher or whatever).

Get over it nerds. React is very well thought out, and Just Works™. Your me-too diatribe about how being different is bad doesn't help anything but feed these endless debates. Build apps or die. If you prefer building lousy implicit Rails apps, go wild.
I’m worried this going to turn out to be an unsecured TC instance after the article makes it sound like the underlying software was compromised.
> It is despicable how tepid the police response

Having been gassed and flashbanged all summer in Portland while protesting for Black Lives, the last word I can imagine using to describe police restraint is "despicable." I don't wish that shit on anybody.
This is concerning
Go read some English common law and get back to us
This is in fact the advantage of having a widely-understood dress code for things such as interviews: that way no one has to play guessing games, you just show up as expected and it's one less thing to think about.

Unfortunately, our industry has no such thing, so I always ask before an interview. So far the answer is always "uh, we just wear normal clothes", "casual is fine" or once "just wear clothes, please, this isn't quite Burning Man" (ended up working at the last place), but: this was in the Bay Area, so YMMV.
I definitely agree that this is a symptom of larger things. Although I'm not so sure about the munchkin remark.
You can’t. You won’t. Don’t stress out trying. Minimise what you send. Use alternatives where you can. You won’t persuade 60 parents in your kids classes what’s app group to switch over. They’ll all have FB already and frankly don’t care, won’t care and feel the privacy sacrifice is worth the utility. Accept that some people are happy being the product. Like some people vote Red and other vote Blue.
American socio-economic divide is very much geographical, unless the only poor people you know are urban homeless.

And this divide lines uncannily along the lines from centuries ago.

> The part that says there's "an orderly transition of power".

This has been Trump, forever. He strings together contradictions in every sentence he can, and when he can't, he makes sure to contradict or make a random topic change within the next sentence.

Why does he do this? It's a rhetorical trick. That means every time he speaks, most people find something in it that they want to hear. He makes sure not to say anything specific unless it's obvious that he's embellishing it; then if you don't like what he says, it sounds like it was a joke or off the cuff. This has been his whole platform. Say so many things, with so many interpretations, with so little factual basis, that most people can find something they like, and almost no one can pin him down for saying something awful. You just expect him to be grandiose and full of shit, and he is, so it's hard to be upset, as long as you find him charismatic.
Its a major SEO tactic, if you don't get involved someone else will, and as long as you have an interesting perspective on the case and add value to the discussion, you are contributing rather than doing anything wrong.

Take this post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1900735 this is something I have just submitted but I am adding value in the article, it is relevant to HN visitors and the case scenario has historical video footage to detail a current event company goes into administration (Video shows the reasons why the company went into administration) which was made 1 year ago and well before these events.
Now I see that all relationships are virtual,

This is such a great line.
> makes me despair for the state of nutrition and health education.

You should despair for it. It's mostly a religion somehow connected to pseudoscience, and definitely a far cry from science.

The two basic axiom that almost everything is founded on (weight diff = calories in - calories out; and prot=4Kc/g, carb=4Kc/g, fat=9Kc/g, alc=7Kc/g) are disproved every other day, in the sense that even though they do apply in many cases, there is at least one robust study in which they do not apply to every 4 in which they do apply.

Something fundamental is being totally ignored.

It's like saying "it is scientific that people go to work and school every day", and ignoring the existence of weekends.
Shared mail folders with the ability to set up proper read/write ACL's.

Delegation

Undelete messages

Delayed sending (Send at yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss)

Import mail via IMAP/POP3

Export mail via IMAP/POP3

An alternative LDAP interface for reading/writing contacts

Thread muting so you can ignore entire threads including messages that arrive after you've muted it.

The ability to view the SMTP logs for a message in Sent Items to see if/when the remote server accepted the message.

RSS folders.

Message filtering in the Sieve format

PGP support. Public keys can be stored server side and used for signature verification and to encrypt outgoing mail. To perform operations that require access to the private key such as decrypting incoming mail, and signing outgoing mail you'd have to install a browser plugin which interacts with the website. Not ideal, but the only "safe" method.

100% SSL encrypted browser sessions.
You can nest a recursive function inside a non-recursive one and inline that.
That was my first thought.

It looks very interesting though. If it's for windows only I won't hesitate to use a VM.
No, a community is a group of humans who share a common interest and therefore gather in some form. This would apply to people who are not interested in direct contact as well, it's what separates them from the rest and makes them a community devoted to that special interest.
