This is off the topic of the actual post, but the concept of Kids Dungeon Adventure is just awesome. I'm getting this to play with a friend of mine and her 5 year old daughter -- we play games whenever I'm in town, but I've never felt they tapped into her (mindblowingly amazing) creativity and imagination. Great job, Ben; we need more of this!
Well, some companies make money selling browsers while others make them selling operating systems. My 2 year old iPod touch is no longer supported for instance so I'm stuck with an older safari. Same thing for my laptop if i chose to use safari.
solved the restart problem. thanks!
Very nice!

I remember Native Instruments had a Game of Life-based drum pattern sequencer in one of their Reaktor packages.
Agreed. This report sounds like a (much needed) 5.1 rather than a major leap. I wonder if the community will ever accept anything more radical than this in the future.

Does Scheme need anything else standardized?
Maybe this is a cultural thing but personally I would take great exception to my employer interfering in my private, personal relationships in such a fashion.
I don't think you read my comment carefully enough (could be my fault, I may not have been very clear). Just to clarify, unless nobody ever runs Diane's program ever again on their own quantum machine there are an infinite number of Dianes and Tommys not seeing the black hole behind them even though they are also simulations, and they would not know it one way or the other but odds are they could guess they are in a simulation and would more than likely be right.
Does anyone take Ars Technica seriously anymore?

The interesting part of this, for me, was the last comment: there's a public-key cypher that can't be broken in an obvious way using Shor's algorithm. That's really good to know.
Just stumbled across this...
"Male answer syndrome" - tongue-in-cheek, but certainly has some truth in it...

I think that's because whenever Apple releases a major new product, it's Jobs who personally announces it in a high-profile presentation. And because Jobs is well known as the CEO of Apple, the press prefers to simply state that Jobs announced or introduced the product. Partly because it's more factually accurate, and partly because Jobs is less abstract an entity than Apple while just as familiar, which is always preferred in writing for large audiences.

Other companies, in contrast, don't have well known CEOs and/or their CEOs don't bother to personally do the announcing. It seems like most tech products get announced with a press release. Maybe there's a press kit if they want to get fancy.
It's hard to get excited about a promotion that brings down the price to about what Amazon already sells their books. I'm not trying to diss the PragProgs. I like their books as they're very useful to me. I do own a couple. But from the customer's perspective, it's not a big deal.

Now the screencasts is another matter. 40% off is a pretty good deal.
Even if those two kinds of roles were as incompatible as you claim, which I don't believe for a second, why would the separation of roles run along gender lines instead of individual preferences?

It seems to me that you are implying a natural suitability and inclination of women for being gentle and caring and a natural ability of men to be totally focused assholes taking on all the intellectual challenges.
Yes but anyone can look at your profile and see your rep was earned via asking instead of answering. Whether SO rep is relevant or not is debatable, but if it is, rep earned by answering is almost certainly more valuable.
I agree, but I don't think the 10% number adds anything useful to that. I just wanted to show that not all of the other 90% of Dutch women are struggling to find employment or wishing they could work more hours.
I think he means that the existence of high tax rates buys everyone good insurance, etc. I haven't heard of people in higher tax brackets getting better health insurance than those in lower ones. So it would be the same as in the UK. Then again, I left the Netherlands nine years ago, so who knows, maybe it has changed since then... =/
why not take the simpler explanation that the reason families have broken up is that they actually weren't that happy?

Also why doesn't having multiple people in a family earning an income lead to an increase in security? i.e. the impact of a (e.g. job loss, illness) can be buffered by the other partner's income.
It's all about emphasis.

Every sentence in my copy has a reason to be there, and the I/We thing isn't it. As it's important to not detract from the real message, I try and use what I think the reader might expect. This stops the reader from putting too much importance into my word selection on a point that I didn't intend to emphasize.

So I use both, depending on the context (although I'm sloppy unless I'm writing copy).
I never really did academia so I wouldn't know. To be honest, I think the age of academia is over. I have more against these institutions than I see value in them. I say get rid of them, we can do better.

Why can't we teach "theoretical muscle" outside of universities? Wait, was the purpose of universities to maintain the state's control of education? Have they been putting thoughts in chains? Kept science away from the masses? I am highly critical... ;)
Neutrino is faster than light in the water. To decide about vacuum we have to wait for another nearby supernova.
Not necessarily. Surely there are people out there who have the potential to be exceptional, but never reach it, because they never got started, never realized they'd be exceptional, etc. Converting the potential exceptionals into actual exceptionals, is a very big win.
first off, quit calling them hackers. they aren't hackers. they are script kiddies.
The nearest life-bearing planet is most likely hundreds of light-years away. Faster-than-light communication doesn't mean faster-than-light travel, and nobody wants to sit in a spaceship for 200 years.
Because someone cared enough to make it.

(Serious answer.)

But I think you're really asking a different question than the one your words say. I suspect you're asking why someone should bother to write this. There are several possible reasons. "Just because they felt like it" is a perfectly fine reason. "Because they thought it was interesting" is pretty close to the same reason. "Because they thought the world needed this language" is probably not as good a reason, because it seems somewhat unlikely to be correct.
Sony - had this coming - fake security experts said the NK could do nothing - Now look - Ha! they stole the Admin password Ha! it was "lena" but we will kill their "NK" internet and stop them cold from further take-downs. Ha Ha he he ho ho ho..
http://www.learnhowtoprogram.com/ is the entire curriculum of the [Epicodus](http://www.epicodus.com) Boot Camp. It seems to go directly towards understanding these concepts. I used it when first doing exactly what you are in a similar situation. Now I work remote for a wonderful startup and couldn't be happier. Email is my my profile if you would like to ask anything specific. Cheers and happy hacking!
However punting (as in American Football manoeuvre) is not that well known a term in the UK. Perhaps punting as gambling refers to standing upright in a flat-bottomed boat an hoping to remain dry?
Is the claim that journalists should only write about crime?

Are articles (assuming they meet your aesthetic criteria otherwise) allowed to mention anyone who does things in line with prevailing legal policy, yet might be problematic?

I, personally, am really sick of reflexive whining when the media dare be critical of certain firms.
However, there are huge agency problems between the stated goals of a business (mainly, to make money for its shareholders), and the CEOs interests - where ego, power, and making money for himself might be more important than long-term decisions involving productivity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_the_firm

Apparently most relocations are closer to the CEOs home, for example:

New buildings are also monuments to the CEO (or President, or whatever authority builds it).
> that bitcoin is anonymous

It used to be anonymous. It's now highly traceable due to AML and KYC having been introduced into the Bitcoin ecosphere by regulation.
Looks like you've been hellbanned. Replying here because it's the last comment of yours with a serviceable reply link.
If you buy a TV and plug it in but do not connect it to an aerial or satellite, you do not need a licence.

You need a TV licence to install or use a television receiver per the Communications Act 2003, Part 4, Section 363[1].

The definition of a "television receiver" in the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004[2] is:

"[…] any apparatus installed or used for the purpose of receiving (whether by means of wireless telegraphy or otherwise) any television programme service, whether or not it is installed or used for any other purpose."

And "receiving a television programme service" is

"receiving by any means any programme included in that service, where that programme is received at the same time (or virtually the same time) as it is received by members of the public by virtue of its being broadcast or distributed as part of that service."

TV Licensing have it more simply[3] as:

"If you watch or record programmes as they're being shown on TV or an online TV service, you need to be covered by a TV Licence. This is the case whether you use a TV, computer, tablet, mobile phone, games console, digital box, DVD/VHS recorder or any other device."

But:

"If you don't watch TV at all, or you only ever watch on demand or catch-up TV, you can tell us you don't need a TV Licence."

What people in this thread seem to ignore is John's argument is that Google made a dick move in the context of the two companies having shared a tight buddy buddy relationship and a mutually beneficial strategy. that is why it was a backstabbing and is generating the retaliation.
Without knowing the subject matter well it can be difficult to distinguish between someone who is lucid and someone who is merely glib. Both can seem equally "bright". Also, without knowing the person well, it can be difficult to distinguish between pensive, cautious and dim.
That's for the N1. Most Android-bearing phones are not N1s, and their ability to be updated at all depends on both the builder and the carrier. Many earlier (as in "from last year") android phones still cannot get 2.1 (let alone Froyo) via official channel. Some likely won't ever.
We should discuss that page it's self not this 'article' http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1435233
Awesome! I will be there.
You missed the issue he was trying to point out.

If you want to choose an iPhone, you have a 3GS (low end), a 4/16 and a 4/32. The progression from one to the other is clear and well delineated, the choice is not hard.

Now if you want an android phone, you have the N1, the Evo 4G, the Droid Incredible (which is not the same thing as the Droid or the Droid Eris), the Desire and probably half a dozen others for the latest generation on Snapdragon and 2.1 alone.
> Every iPhone user can run the latest OS (minus the features the hardware can't support)

Not entirely true: the 2G does not get iOS 4 at all, and the 3G likely won't get iOS5.
That’s distinction is not really all that important in this context. Google wants to shape the future of the mobile web in order to sell ads – but in that process they could easily crush Apple. That’s why Apple fights back.
I'm not sure why this is not mentioned in the article, but there is nothing special about circles and squares (or 2 dimensions, for that matter). If anything, phrasing it like this gives the (misleading) impression that somehow features of squares and circles are important!

The authors proved [1, Thm. 1.3] that given any two sets in R^d with equal non-zero measure and boundaries that are "not too horrible" (i.e. box / Minkowski dimensions of their boundaries less than d), one can cut one of the sets into finitely many Borel pieces and rearrange them (i.e. apply isometries in R^d) to obtain the other set.

You can also guarantee that the pieces have positive measure under a mild technical assumption.

Have you read the key judgements from the 2002 NIE on Iraq?

> High Confidence:

> - Iraq is continuing, and in some areas expanding, its chemical, biological, nuclear and
missile programs contrary to UN resolutions.

> - We are not detecting portions of these weapons programs.

> - Iraq possesses proscribed chemical and biological weapons and missiles.

> - Iraq could make a nuclear weapon in months to a year once it acquires sufficient
weapons-grade fissile material.

What are your thoughts about using a counter and self-bussing but the clerk faces a tablet at you with 3 large buttons: 18%, 20%, 25% ?

Not only will the personal service be minimal, but the only part you can even judge at that point is how well they took your order... who knows if something will go south! So it's clearly just about keeping menu prices artificially low.
(You should prepend "Ask HN:" to your post's title.)

This almost sounds like language as an 'intellectual pet' type of motivation, which is ~somewhat at odds with "broadening my horizons". Why not explore 'new [advanced] things to create' in one of the most fun languages you already know? Or, get excited by exploring a dimension such as 'performance', or 'distribution', etc.

So, my 2c is first decide if you want to be a linguist or a writer.
What are you on about? The submission is about raidz.

Adding drives to a mirror has worked in zfs since prehistoric times. “zpool attach test_pool sda sdc” will mirror sda to sdc. If sda was already mirrored with sdb, you now have a triple-mirror with sda, sdb, and sdc.
Might be. Depends on your personality.
I don't work in one stationary location, and I don't want to worry about bringing yet another dongle/dock with me. I've had a couple docks over the years, and quality varies. I have friends who've found them to be very fiddly — bumping the table disconnects their monitors and requires a couple minutes to get everything back in place.

Oh, and they cost $150 to $250. After shelling out for a new computer, I don't want to spend hundreds more to have access to functionality that was included with every new MBP (and even some MBAs!) seven years ago.
You can say this about literally any storage system. Unrecoverable failures can always happen, that's why you keep backups.

ZFS redundancy features aren't there to eliminate the need for backups, they're there to reduce the chance of downtime.
Nah, ZFS is pretty comfy FS, it has lots nice features, it is reasonably fast, and it is stable. And as far as I know, it has been used for fairly long time.
You really should read up on numerical math, we really don't need closed form solutions, and this makes PDE far from useless.
...who used it to UUCP-mail each other ASCII porn.
It seems you need a Google account to be able to send your tabs, so it does not seem that they were aiming solely to publicize Chrome.
Probably they boosted-up the Google's account registration and post-registration page just before announcing the campaign.

I am still looking for the break-in that predates this breakin, my memory is fucking horrible. I apologize. It will take me a while for me to find it.
A video demo (with journalists present) would be nice... This is such science fiction stuff that you really have to see it (or not) to believe it.

Kind of amazing that this is possible today. We really are living in the future.
TV and the way it works didn't lose. I live in beijing for extended periods of time with nothing more than an internet connection and I can't wait to get home to watch TV, Movies, Sports...

The way TV works is far better than the internet was, which is why the internet has adapted more to the TV model then the other way.

1.) Produced content is better than un-produced content -> This holds true on the internet. Hackers News itself is successful because it is produced. Even though the community produces the content it is still produced. I can also find a million @pg - "I focus on the content" comments.

2.) Scheduled release of content -> One of the good things about being 12 hours ahead in beijing is that I wake up and all the content is ready for me to consume in the morning the rest of the day, provides little new content allow me to focus easier on my daily task then be interrupted by this tweet or news article. Sure you want to watch what you want when you want but we knew then 30 years ago when the VHS recorders came up.

3.) Large screens are better than small -> This is definitely true, watching content on little screens isn't that enjoyable, neither is watch horrible quality videos on youtube. Online content catchs up in terms of quality people will watch it on large screen TVs.

4.) 500 channels and nothing on -> I browse about 10 websites out of the Millions on the internet, compare this to TV where I watch 20 channels out of the 500 that is on my TV.

Seems like TV and the way it works is being "Copied and Localized" to the internet.
The problem is that the incentives are screwed up - most students don't care about learning the courses, but they simply needs to pass them and so do the minimum necessary to get by.

What we need to do is to remove grades as something which you can use to validate yourself to others, and use it strictly as an internal measure of how well you understand the material and what you need to focus on.

Neat!

Have you considered rendering the WebGL scene to an Offscreen Canvas in a Web Worker? You lose the ability to process PointerEvents (since Web Workers can't access the DOM), but you can serialize PointerEvent data and send it to the Web Worker via postMessage. That does introduce a bit of latency (~0.5 ms) that might cause some jank since PointerEvents are emitted ~8ms. It's something I'm playing around with.

Neat project though! Stick with it! If you're looking for some ideas/inspiration, check out FreeFlyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwau4GrxuUU
Engineering (as in PEng in the US, but my jurisdiction just calls it Engineer) also implies liability, and a risk of losing your license if you fuck up.
Much XR effort is commercial/industrial rather than consumer. FAGM's bets are long-term. Smaller OEMs seem to focus on industry and/or CN/SK/JA. Consumer XR software effort, but for games, is on phones/tablets. US consumer game VR, well, depression and a supply-chain-troubled Xmas, versus more time at home through next winter... shrug? My very fuzzy impression is people were already expecting merely-steady growth there.

> Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, meanwhile, tag requests with identifiers, but that information is reset when the browser is re-installed. All send details of the webpages visited to the backend via auto-complete, but with verifying identifiers. Chrome is, in this case, are persistent, while Safari’s are ephemeral and Mozilla doesn’t have identifiers at all.

First it says, Firefox tags with identifiers, then it says, Mozilla [Firefox] doesn’t have identifiers at all. What explains this apparent contradiction?
Google's primary business is telemetry: I'd be shocked if they were worse at it than Microsoft. But I'm willing to accept you might disagree with this point.

Regarding the second point: And I think we agree here, the article is odd. It definitely seems like there's an anti-Edge narrative trying to achieve mindshare.

I should have decoupled my original comment, and only discussed the circulation of the article, as that's more concerning.
If you were to ask a room full of developers what are TLS versions or TLS ciphers and which ones should be disabled? You'd be luckly if any of them raise their hands.

Consider an old organization with hundreds of old systems, that can be fairly critical. Nobody understand or is willing to do the work. To their credit, TLS and cryptography is really difficult.

So don't be surprised that things will be fixed... after they're noticeably broken.
Always disable studies. It will also prevent the next Mr. Robot ad extension (or anything like that) from being automatically installed.
Form-create is a form generation component that can generate dynamic rendering, data collection, verification and submission functions through JSON. It supports three UI frameworks and supports the generation of any Vue component. Built in 20 kinds of common form components and custom components, and then complex forms can be easily done.
Overestimating doses required allows you some room for manoeuvre. Plans can change, like when the Sanofi/Merck/Pasteur vaccine tuned out to be a dud and was abandoned within the EU.

Manufacturing capacity at the continental AZ facilities have been hit by teething issues. There were also teething issues at AZ's UK facilities, but the impact was less because the order was placed three months earlier in the UK.
Delphi! Purchased ver.3.0 back in the day, it was excellent.

I'm thinking more about sentiment analysis and profile enrichment.

> That may have forced him to improvise a lot more as whatever pre-composed melodies he could use as a crutch may have not been workable with the piano he had.

Hmm I doubt it. I'd expect that to exert force more in the other direction. Anyway, it's all speculation. There is a book called Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert which seems well-written.

p.s. I just keep mentioning Facing You because I think it's his best record! I've talked to quite a few musicians who feel the same.

I remember Balance of Power shipping on a PC with a Windows 2.0? runtime. (Windows wasn't really mainstream until 3.0+.) I also remember it was a pretty unplayable game. Perhaps instructive in the "Do you want to play global thermonuclear was?" sense but not much fun to play. And game designer friends of mine were of a similar opinion.
Thanks! Good to know!
I knew about his Emacs clone...I think Linus Torvalds uses something similar.
I saw the same too especially on HN. I suspect a non-negligible amount of competitors paying farm-content providers trying to make it a pb.
This is cool! I'll be looking into adding webmentions to Kalaksi.com my rss-based social network. It makes perfect sense and is very much aligned with the "open web" I'm trying to help survive.

This doesn't help you to eliminate impossible values. A large aspect of datatype modeling is to encode constraints from the problem domain. Once encoded they are automatically enforced. Maybe the Builder pattern comes close to that ideal in OO, but it is really tedious to do right.
