I prefer doing backend node.js stuff (Koa), but I do React/Redux as well. I don't have much free time right now - I can commit maybe 5 hours a week - but I'm interested in learning about new projects and would love to prioritize my time towards your project depending on what it is. I'm currently trying to save up for some financial independence.
Why? Adams is showing himself to be sexist, and a good argument can be made that he's being a jackass, too. This whole game of ad-hominem gotchas is really getting old.
Thanks dpcan for taking a look at my apps and giving feedback. I agree with all your points and must confess that I took lightly the user experience part of the apps. Yes, it's about improving.
No, it's definitely not the problem of choice. It's the problem of glue.
Decent game overall, but I hope you plan on switching out the Advance Wars sprites with something you own in the future. (or use resources from sites like http://opengameart.org/)
It hardly matters what the laws are when politicians wipe their asses with the constitution.
I'll try to explain from what I understood in quantum physics class years ago.

When you're dealing with things on the quantum level, observing a particle affects it. Remember Schrodinger's cat? The cat is both dead and alive, until someone opens the box. The opening of the box gives the cat its new state of deadness or aliveness.

Quantum teleportation works through entangled particles. Entangled particles are, in some sense, the same particle in two places. An action on one entangled particle will instantly affect the other particle, including observation of the particle.

Suppose Alice and Bob share an entangled particle. Alice observes the particle on her end, collapsing it into one of four states. Which state it collapses into is and always will be completely random.

Bob's particle was instantaneously affected in one of four ways corresponding to those states. Trouble is, he doesn't know which way, and he can't do anything with his particle until he does.

Alice has to communicate to Bob in any regular way, through light, telephone or internet, what she observed on her end, so that Bob knows what exactly happened to his particle, and what to do with it.

So in this way, it really was instantaneous over a distance, but at the same time nothing useful happened faster than the speed of light.
Right. So it is sarcastic. I guess I should have checked first.

How do you get your username displayed in green like that?
What a bizarre article. Lisp can't represent XML? Garbage collection is obsolete?

> type stuff into the REPL... can't store the code in files that way.

What's the standard solution to this? Serialize everything, and then hand-edit to just keep the things you want? Cut-n-paste the history into a file?
Prevents? There's nothing like that. The only something about git that hampers comprehensive porcelain alternatives is the lack of orthogonality in git's plumbing.

People spent years bitching about CVS before a few Apache-related people got together and wrote Subversion. The long time it took didn't point to anything fundamental about CVS preventing anything.

Reading the title, I thought I would find a totally different interview, kind of disappointing. Why does a 7th grader care about salary range (unless he wants to start really early). It seems he/she just used some questions from another interview.
I tried periscope and just now upclose.me. I like that you can I think stream to the web whereas periscope seems app only. Though upclose is not working for me after a minute or so - I'm on a slow connection in Vietnam though.
Family = Next of Kin

They are assigned a triage score and that score will be updated routinely. As beds open, the people who fit the criteria get the bed. I believe that is fairly standard in a public hospital type setting.

I have only ever worked in public and military icu, wards, er and trauma rooms so I do not know too many details on how that works in practice.
Python, actually, is older than Euphoria. :)
The cool part is the focus on cache-local data structure first. Way more popular scripting languages like JS and Lua use hash tables as their primary data structures, Python and Ruby offer arrays as secondary option, but focus on using structs (classes) everywhere. Euphoria answer to this is to use arrays of cells for everything and enum your way out of situations where you need to group things.
Are experts not human, and therefore immune to panic?
Don't talk crap. Italy's been in harder lockdown for longer.
Your explanation though makes sense, even though the solution to the problem it's terrible. I presumed it was for the GPU for weird reasons (bad software, CUDA, somethng like that), but what you described makes the most sense.

Apparently, I managed to get it running today with some magic using icacls and file ownership. The web control does not work, but I'm able to run the Advanced Control Panel and start everything from there.

Eww.

Of course they love it, the inconvenience it causes is nothing compared to the economic and health impacts of the virus.
That's just about how I use delicious as well. I only wish the tag search would be improved. I don't want to search for book and books just because some of my posts might be tagged as book, while others are tagged as books. I'd also like a way to easily rename and merge tags.
I scanned through this page looking to see if this exact comment would appear here. Now when I see it I realize that it is less funny than I imagined. Maybe because the comment you replied to was a trap you fell for.
I bookmarked it. This seems like a great resource, when it will get more foods (even though the list now looked good, and gave me a good overview of what I should expect of my upcoming workout / diet phase.).

One thing I noticed is that the checkboxes overflow the text in "Customize food choices" (Tofu is on the text below it, mangling everything). I'm using firefox 3.6.
You do kinda have to admit that presenting an "edited" birth certificate is very unlikely to end the debate. What was wrong with a normal, plan scan ?

Of course that doesn't mean there's an illegitimate president. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

And there's certainly no shortage of stupidity on both sides.
Quinoa need rinsing really well before cooking or it can taste gritty. Pre-soaking it overnight helps too.
I'll confess, I hadn't looked into my assumption further until now. Details of the US sanctions against Libya can be found here (look for the Executive Order 13566 PDF):

http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/p...

The .ly registrar Libyan Spider has been fairly communicative and open with its customers. Their CEO Hadi Naser says they are a 'private company run by ordinary citizens that have no affiliation with the government' and that 'purchasing the .ly domains supports Libyan citizens, not the government'. A 10 percent fee goes to a nongovernmental organization in Libya that mantains the .ly network:

There was some prior disruption of service when Softlayer, their ISP outside of Libya raised some sanction related concerns, but that appears to have been resolved later:

"Yes it takes practice to become a good singer, but any number of hours of practicing poor technique won't do much good."

Yes, this is true and oft-repeated mantra on YC News. But it begs the question, how does one practice the "proper" technique (I mean after all, doesn't everyone want to follow the correct form of shooting hoops/strumming a guitar chord, but most people don't have a dedicated shooting coach/guitar teacher to watch their every move or they do know the right technique by heart in theory but can't carry it out in practice for various reasons).

The best protip I've received in learning an instrument (and actually doing anything) is when you are stuck at a particular exercise, move onto the next hardest exercise anyways. When you stumble upon the simplest guitar lick on the first page of a guitar book,you might say "are you crazy? I can't even play the first exercise." But if you play the next hardest lick and stumble upon it for a couple of days, then try to play a third lick even harder than the second lick for a couple of days, and then go back to the very first lick. You might find that you can now play it pretty well, or suck much less than before.

Yes, practicing is all about hard work and all that, but it is also about momentum and keeping things fresh and new. If it's not fun, you are doing something wrong.
Just goes to show, construction will probably not be going away any time soon. Safe bet for a company, same as how land generally holds value (in the extreme long term). People need places to live.

For mind-expanding, post-singularity hard sci-fi consider anything by Greg Egan. I'd start with Permutation City, or one of his short story collections.
Simplest reason? Hypotheticals can be simple enough to talk about without spinning off a dozen side discussions about the details of a real situation.
http://twitter.com/html5douche occasionally posts some cool html5 linkage when he's not busy fist-pumping in CAPS LOCK.
But using it as Krugman does, namely as a predictive model of the real economy, is little but analogy.

So technically that's an analogy, rather than a hypothetical. My bad. It's still a far cry from using real people and real numbers to argue for inflationary monetary policy.

(Incidentally, one very common liberal hypothetical is that "tax cuts for the poor have a higher velocity than those for the rich, since the poor live hand to mouth and must spend everything they get." It turns out this is false - the poor pay down their debts with tax cuts, while the upper middle class spend it. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~shapiro/TaxRebates.pdf http://papers.nber.org/papers/w16246 )
I'm currently working in this space and I can honestly tell you it's not a conspiracy or anything...these manufacturers are just 4-5 years behind the curve and are just waking up to the possibilities of using an Android-type O/S on these devices. To be fair, Android isn't really ready to jump into the custom embedded GUI area just yet either. It's almost there.

A lot of them see Android and think either a) it's a phone O/S, b) I can get a GUI up and running just as well with WinCE6, or c) I don't want customers installing custom apps on my barcode reader.

The more enterprising engineers that are mobile O/S knowledgeable are busy writing apps and/or making bank by consulting.

And forget Symbol. They're owned by Motorola now so it'll be a few years before they figure things out.
As an alternative, this might be a long bet by institutional investors on future instability in the dollar. BTC is one of the few assets that one can use to reasonably avoid risk of inflation, illegal seizure, or future capital controls.

Which jurisdiction do your bitcoins really reside in any way?
being a good client I would still offer them water/soft drink regardless.
I've tried and failed several times to find an ultrasonic humidifier with a basin that's dishwasher safe.

It's really amazing to me that "how do you clean this fucking thing?" is such a nebulous concept for the engineers of these devices.
My thoughts exactly. Especially if "do it exactly as non-dev design folks who don't actually ever write functional code decided it should be 3 months ago before they moved on to another project" isn't a requirement, something like vuetify gives a lot of functional and visual consistency (while providing standard support for a lot of accessibility stuff), in a tested and progressing toolkit.

A colleague consolidated new dev at his employer under vuetify and it took away some of the "design meetings", and allowed them to turn around projects faster (anecdotal, to be sure). All internal 'line of business' type stuff.
I've learned a lot about gene therapy. The immune system is a major bottleneck to wide spread gene therapy. If you modify the genetic makeup of cells in your body, the immune system will recognize the new antigens being presented by these cells and attack. Many gene therapy target point mutations that don't require significant alterations to correct that would alarm the immune system.
pretty sure it's not safe yet. unless you're in israel/new zealand.
> In a perfect world the importance of information wouldn’t rely on its author’s eloquence. But we live in a world where people are bored, impatient, emotional, and need complicated things distilled into easy-to-grasp scenes.

It's absolutely true that the best story wins, but it's not because we are "bored" or "impatient".

It is because we need stories. That is how we operate and it always has been the case. Religions are mostly a collection of compelling stories. Politics. Business. Love. Science.

Being human is consuming and producing stories.
I would pay to see SharePoint and Dynamics running on Linux containers.

Don't judge what Microsoft is doing, with the .NET Core teams are marketing for.
I am seriously wondering: is it actually possible for stock listed companies to donate? I mean aren't they legally obliged not to spend more than necessary (towards their stockholders obliged). Also what does the IRS say on that?
I'm no doctor, so take what I'm about to say with a ton of salt. Your doctor might disapprove, but salt ain't so bad in reality.

High LDL or high cholesterol doesn't mean anything, per se. The HDL:LDL ratio is a little more important but not so much. Triglycerides and glucose levels are a much bigger indicator of health. Inflammation is the biggest indicator, but AFAIK we do not have ways to measure it directly.

HDL, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides are fats, but are often not directly correlated with dietary fat. There is more and more evidence triglycerides increases as sugar and refined carbs increase in your diet. This is the biggest misconception in dietary history and we're 20 years away from science and doctors to integrate this new piece of information.
Sure, thats the problem. You pay 3% of the transaction for them to make a couple of entries in a database. It is laughable, when you consider that hosting and access to the VPS cost very little.
I think that the SIMD instructions are well past the point of diminishing returns, both for the kinds of instructions provided and the width of the vectors. I'm more interested in how VT-d and TSX allow different software architectures, if and only if you can design your OS around the assumption that they're available. By only including them on select models, Intel's making them much less useful even for the customers who want to pay extra to have those features.
Mathematica desperately needs this. I lost about a day's worth of work once (although I was able to replicate it in a couple of painful hours) and I was flabbergasted to read that Mathematica has no automatic backup by default whatsoever. Further, the backing up system is horrendous if enabled.
This was posted a week ago under 'Ask HN' as a review.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2009521

It was deleted after the poster was outed for making fake accounts to comment and upvote. It shouldn't detract from the startup and its reviews, but I guess at least an apology is in order for trying to game the community.
Your link to the DEA shows a total 9 news releases relating to marijuana enforcement actions for 2009-2010. This compares with 15 for 2008, 15 for 2007, 16 for 2006, and so on. Your CBS link quotes the DEA's 'record number of pot seizures' but the actual story makes clear that the record is set by the number of seized plants rather than the number of enforcement actions.

The grandparent post observed that that the federal government was 'not harassing people...nearly as much as the previous administration.' It did not make any claims that federal enforcement had halted. Indeed, your linkage seems to support rather than refute the claim that was made.

I don't support drug prohibition, but I have to take the outraged complaints about the federal government with a pinch of salt; California voters had the opportunity to legalize the growing, possession and sale of pot 6 weeks ago and decided not to do so. I have heard numerous people mentioning that they voted against it or didn't want it to pass because it would have impacted the business of someone they know in the trade, since legalization would probably have led to a price collapse, at least in the short term. Whether this perspective was held by enough people to alter the outcome of the voting I do not know, but it seems the police are not the only ones invested in the status quo.
Smith was never convicted.
I assume this is because it's too slow for normal undoing? The obvious answer is to make the undo interface a bit more sophisticated, such as having an option in the edit menu to control the size of the undo "steps".
No, his complaint is that you can't parse the code without knowing all the keywords in the language.

He wrote every single keyword == all the keywords.

That's not basic knowledge of a language.

Maybe I'm odd, but when I start on a new language I don't learn all the syntax first, I usually I start mucking around with variable declaration, iterators, simple stuff like that just to get a feel of it. I'm guessing it's not that odd as most tutorials also follow that approach.
Yea, I really don't see what the risk is here if the author has the expectation that only he/she will be able to access the version history (unless, of course, the work is so good that academics want to study it).
I'd suggest you reread the article.
An even simpler solution would be Python mode for Processing, which has most (if not all) of the benefits of Python and Processing in one:

Except he doesn't say "torture is sometimes permissible". He supports the specific actions of CIA where torture were used, but didn't lead to reliable intelligence of value. So it was not a "ticking time-bomb scenario", it was "torture because we have the power to do it".
Avoid Teflon -- it leaches toxic PFOA into food. The ceramic nonstick pans work about as well, and are safe.
I'm not really clear on what the point of this article was.
Let's try to explain it.

2.1 They gain your trust

2.2 "Something" happens where they need a person (or, someone they know needs a person) they can trust and with your skills

Like going from CV to face-to-face, or better, person you actually talked to and knows more or less what they're good at
True, Dark is great in that way. The story is really intricate. I came across it by fluke and I really liked it a lot.

Indeed the dragging on bit of some series is very familiar. Like LOST :) I also notice that many of the 'villain of the week' series have many eps in each season, and all the good shows are much more sparse.
> I'll miss LG a bit, it isn't as if we need fewer competitors in the Android space. It's Chinese brands, Samsung, and Google now pretty much, no?

Does this means that Motorola is now considered a fully Chinese brand?
You two should add an Easter egg where you can “ssh” into each other’s sites ;)
To clarify: Archive Team IS NOT Archive.org.

Many rules exist to avoid liability, particularly when regarding dogs. Private places often have these rules but don't enforce them, because they don't really care about the dogs. But, in case a dog does bite someone then they get to say it was the dog owner that wasn't responsible and that has to pay for damages.
Many people don't know this and go around enforcing rules just for the sake of enforcement. But the rules actually exist to provide dog owners a way to let their dogs run free.
I used to think the Mission Impossible movies were far-fetched. Apparently not:

> The thieves, as if undertaking a special-ops raid, had climbed up the sheer face of the building. From there, they scaled its pitched metal roof on a cold, wet night, cut open a fiberglass skylight, and descended inside—without tripping alarms or getting picked up by cameras ... "This is not something ordinary burglars try to accomplish."

Wow.
I suggest email for such a use case. To have public conversations is to open the door to public criticism in perpetuity of what was discussed.

"New York Times rule is a commonsense rule of ethical conduct that a person should not do anything arguably newsworthy in public or in private that one would mind having reported on the front page of a major newspaper. The rule ultimately protects defamatory falsehood.

New York Times rule is also known as New York Times test or New York Times v. Sullivan rule."
With the greatest of respect, a response of "illustrate your points of complaint [about us] with examples" is kind of case in point. You phrased it very politely and I promise I'm assuming good intent, but it is kind of funny. I don't think anyone needs convincing that there's plenty of egotism and single-mindedness here.

Personally I would point to, very broadly, any discussion at all on finance or multilateralism.

The top comments on HN tend to have a very poor understanding of what the EU even is, how it works, what value it provides, and what it can and (especially) can't or shouldn't do.

Similarly, there isn't a huge amount of sophisticated discussion around banking and finance. I actually detect a hint of sulking some of the time, that there's this other difficult and well-paid field that the average HN commenter just does not understand. This was a bit more obvious a few years ago when Quantitative Easing and Bitcoin were in the news more often, but it still occasionally bubbles up under Matt Levine articles too.
According to these comments here on HN, Sacca is a sexual-harrassing pariah. But I remember the original accusation against him years ago, and thinking at the time that it was a mild charge, and one where his immediate apology and promise to improve was the appropriate correction, not a banishment from the tech world.

To revisit, here is the claim of sexual harassment against him:

> Another woman, Susan Wu, claimed that Chris Sacca - who founded Lowercase Capital in 2007 - had made her feel uncomfortable when he allegedly touched her face without permission at a tech event in Las Vegas in 2009.

Edgy Holden Caulfield vibes will never be a substitute for clarity of thought and evidence for convictions held. Whatever point he is trying to make is lost in the miasma of paranoia and detachment from logic. The existence of Hearst Castle != newspaper economics are healthy and viable, for example.
