Your library looks pretty neat, but I have an aversion to boost too. I love that c++ is slowly absorbing the best bits so I can detach myself from it -- it's a great library but is just so monolithic. And whenever I need a non-header-only library from it I always seem to struggle through the windows b2/bjam/whatever process to build them.

Minor: there are a few mistakes on the landing page: 'welcome', 'implementation', etc.
Nope, their role could be easily removed by technology. Internal hirers are required, recruiters are not
the newton books were awesome. the UI guidelines one is also great.
Another article about "How I didn't understand how to use fire and burn my house and myself to death". And I guess he doesn't know agile history to talk about it:
- "The “Agile” fad grew up in web consulting" - It grew up in huge enterprises in the beginning of 1990;
- "dealing with finicky clients who don’t know what they want" - just haha, I guess no one don't know what he or she wants in terms of development;
- "second is appealing to a decision-maker who’s recently been promoted to management" - looks like someone got not a best relationship with a managet in a past.

Didn't even read after 1 paragraph.
and not promoted to direng/cto or (s)he would have use that title, though maybe the company has a policy of not promoting interally
Indonesia -> USA

Got my first job in the USA fresh out of college, based on a recommendation from my high school programming friend that got his job here first. He got to finals of ACM programming competition in USA, and got hired almost on the spot.

Finally got my GC after 8 years of H1B & 3 more years of I-485. I think I'm quite lucky to be able to keep having jobs & maintained my H1B status during ups & downs of US economy.
ok now that ive used it theres one thing i dont like:

* im changing code in a block but every time i eval it the 3 code blocks above re-expand the results i just hid... because the last one was `_ = require('lodash')` it prints like 70 lines of func defs :/

minor gripes:

* console.log(1,2) produces two lines of output, the browser version produces "1 2" (and then wraps every 3 lines, kind of inconvient when you log (i, array[i]))

* ctrl - y redo doesnt work (ctrl z does tho)

* the dom jitter from the results div disappearing, pause, appending "loading", then appending a large div, feels off. possibly lock the height, then replace contents w/ "loading", then transition to the new results size, if you can calculate that is better. really good tool tho gj.

really minor issues! im not logged in, idk if that matters

Seems like that is just a command-line version of an e-mail client filter: it connects to the server, runs a query, and moves stuff to folders. Based on my experience with the average IMAP server search performance, I wouldn't let my users use this if I was in control of the server.
I belatedly open-sourced Dash Board for Newton, my popular 1997 UI enhancement app:

https://github.com/masonmark/Dash-Board-for-Newton-OS

The README there also walks through the process of getting all the emulators and whatnot running on a modern machine so that you can build it (or other Newton software).

Because Newton software source code was composed of many small NewtonScript files in a proprietary binary format (with resource forks!), I also exported t he source code into a text format that can be read more easily:

In case HN is wondering about the reception: it's great by default, but I had some hardware mounted in inaccessible places, which could still have issues with reception.

So I replaced the middle antenna with a WL-ANT-157 from Asus, and wow. It's the best home wifi experience I've ever had in this price range.
Weirdly it's not on the home anymore - despite having more than 32 points in less than 1 hour.
Totally fair, and agreed on the value of such a discussion; Same deal - seen/lived both. It requires fundamental cultural change (PM plays a big part). When the discussion starts with teams engaging in poorly defined scrum, I usually reference: https://www.scrum.org/ScrumBut.

Yes, and Yes (hence the "sure").

But what is misleading is that we're often led to believe that what we think or believe is somehow relevant or even important in light of valid objective statements and observations. It's important but it's separate, and it's truly only important to us (the importance of our own thoughts are personal). Evidence, once internalized, is analyzed through introspection, and hence internally maintaining the subjective-objective distinction requires discipline and practice. Without this distinction, it turns out we can quite effortlessly reason our way to most conclusions given any evidence, and this activity is mainly driven by our intentions and emotions. Herein lies the dangers of putting too much un-founded weight on thought. But when we let evidence determine the weight distribution of thoughts, we avoid this problem. It also turns out that good evidence is obvious, making it easy to remember and requiring little thought.

Sherlock Holmes is my favorite example. His breakthroughs come primarily from observations and connecting dots (insight) [0], and not from deep questioning or deductive logic. Though important, those aren't actually that hard or productive or entertaining.

Evidence is the originator, and the tangible of the two. Our imagination may take us anywhere (Einstein), but without evidence we'd get nowhere (scientific method).

[0] Holmesian deduction consists primarily of observation-based inferences.

> " innovative cross point structure of perpendicular wires"

Are they really "wires"? Or is it fabricated in some kind of 3d litography?

This kind of new manufacturing technique strikes me as one that will take some time to mature.

But anyways, it's pretty interesting. How could/should OS paging change when this arrives? Do we need another tier or will they just consider this as faster swap?

Is this appropriate for other marketplaces where intel doesn't dominate (mobile)?

Fantasy Football Draft Optimizer Tools
Hey everyone! We've been hard at work and are happy to announce we are releasing our free 2015 fantasy football draft optimizer apps. The apps allow you to calculate custom projections for your league based on your league settings. The projections incorporate more sources of projections than any other site, and have been the most accurate projections over the last 3 years (http://fantasyfootballanalytics.net/2015/02/best-fantasy-football-projections-2015.html). Based on these projections, the draft optimizers determine the best players to draft based on your risk tolerance. The Auction Draft Optimizer dynamically updates its selections as you draft.

We'd love to hear what people think. We're planning on keeping the tools for free so that we can continue to help out the community. Please let us know what you think and how we can improve the free tools!

You're actually giving up $200. Quite a good chunk of change.
And no discount for my meta data passing through Google.
I am actually working on this exact issue right now :) Hopefully will be fixed very soon.

Yeah the console.log thing is for when you have two objects, you want them on two lines. However, we could get smarter and collapse lines (that were together) if they have no fancy object viewers.

And yes -- I don't know why we chose three, we'll probably expand that.

Sorry about redo, it should work, we'll look into it.
If you're sincere, I think your response would be much more valuable, and prone to be taken seriously, if you stayed on the factual side, instead of deriding the article with comments on how "laughable" and "bullshit" it is.
Hopefully it doesn't turn into the TV market, where it is getting increasingly difficult to find a TV that isn't "Smart".
Wow, that is very interesting. Thanks for the link.
>In this case, as soon as you enter into an appropriately worded contract, that de-auth packet stops being interference and starts being an agreed-to part of that contract.

Please point to the specific portion of case law or FCC law that shares this definition, because as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist.

I'm not sure why you insist on muddying what is a pretty clear law and also a pretty clear decision based on that law. The "permission" point you're stating has no basis in law.

You cannot willfully interfere with another user's lawful transmission on an unlicensed band.

It is that simple.

What they could do, and probably should have done, is post notices saying that unauthorized wifi is against the venue rules and will lead to ejection, and then go around with a laptop, find the people, and boot them out. That would have been perfectly okay and perfectly legal.
Great post I enjoyed reading your github on your newton code

The Hype Framework
You should check out the new version of the C++ book by Stroustrup. After having stayed away from C++ exactly for the reason you speak of for probably 15 years, I gave it another try. I was very impressed at how C++ has changed with 11/14. Stroustrup had to essentially rewrite the book.

Of course if you're simply comparing size, keep in mind that Stroustrup's book is aimed at beginners. And provides a thorough discussion of many things in the language. The C book is terse and not really aimed at beginners or students.
So basically Slack without the features and usability?
C is excellent in its simplicity.

C++ is valuable in its richness. Its richness comes at a price and indeed, fitting it all in one's head is very difficult.
It's more of an all-around package/dependency manager. You could use bower as well, but npm seems to be a lot more popular.
Sigh.

It seems misogynist to me because it seems to assume that women universally view men as cruel and controlling. The framing makes a very sweeping assumption about both All Men and All Women.

I struggle with how to express this, but it implicitly disregards female agency and the complexity of female psychology or sexuality.

I was sexually abused as a child. I have certainly had fantasies that I found disturbing at the time. In my teens, I would fantasize about the Russians invading and taking over my high school. In my fantasies, I would end up with some Russian officer based on the virtue of knowing 2 dozen words of Russian.

In my twenties, I did a lot of therapy. I ultimately concluded this was a rescue fantasy. It expressed how grim-dark my life felt in my teens and how trapped I felt at the time. It expressed my fear that there were no nice men and there was nothing but evil in the world. But it placed me in protective custody of a powerful figure as the least worst answer I could imagine.

In reality, I got married at age 19 to another 19 year old. He was something of a knife covered nutcase and he ultimately joined the army, which effectively extracted me from my hometown and whisked me away from my abusers. A "nice" young man would not have been able to help me. A previous attempt at a relationship to a nicer man resulted in him being chewed up and spit out by the situation.

So I have a history of both a fantasy life and real life experience of being attracted to men who aren't "nice." In neither case was it really what it appeared to be on the surface. No white knight could possibly have saved me. So I sought out an honorable dark knight.

Any degree of intrigue I have with something like a chastity belt would be rooted not in vilifying men as cruel and controlling but in trying to imagine some means of finally feeling washed clean of the stigma of the abuse I endured. I am 50 years old. It happened long ago and far away. There are people who still judge me as a bad girl or dirty girl because of the crimes and failings of other people. Some things are incredibly hard to wash off.

If you look at female fantasies as an outsider, as a man who sees his own frustrations with women, perhaps they look pretty condemning of men. But if you treat women as human beings, you have to wonder what's in it for them. You have to ask what they are getting out of it. And that results in a very different conclusion about why a specific unpleasant image might interest them.
Or poor Chinese farmers, in this case.

What intangible traits do you look for in an engineering hire?
One of the other engineers on my team just messaged me:

goldcountry, when you get a chance, could you spend a couple minutes thinking about what qualities you would look for in new engineers we'd want to bring to the team, especially the intangibles, like a sense of humor, or obsessed with code execution speed, etc.?
If you could compile it into an email that would be perfect. I'm prepping for this meeting with [our recruiter] tomorrow, and want to make sure I've gotten your thoughts before I do that"

I'm a bit unsure of what to say here - what would you look for in an engineering hire?
And financial literacy!

I think the bottom line is that you need to take almost everything everyone says with a grain of salt.

Can you elaborate on the difference between plant patents and utility patents which you feel is harmful?

Plant patents last for 20 to 30 years and are quite robust. The main exemptions are for seed saving (irrelevant for hybrid crops), use as a progenitor (irrelevant to transgenics which vary at a single locus), and for compulsory licensing.

With the exception of the latter issue, these aspects have no bearing on GM. Seed saving would be an issue in crops that typically are not grown as hybrids. However, utility patents are shorter in duration and require disclosure. There's nothing stopping someone else from going out to find germplasm with a similar trait and generating their own construct. With advances in technology, this becomes ever easier to do. The supreme court's ruling on the BRCA genes makes it quite clear that this is permissible and would not be restricted by a utility patent.

In my estimation, a utility patent is less restrictive.
Any idea what kind of speedup one could expect?
I meant us researchers and inventors :) Anyways, we are just now moving out of Smalltalk/LISP's shadow, and it feels good.

I'm not the same person, but I don't use boost, and I avoid projects that depend on it, because every time I've used boost in the past it's always done dreadful things to the build time.

Anything that uses boost always seems to compile at a glacial pace and then takes aeons to link. It's also not much fun in the debugger, should you happen upon it in a call stack or see one of its types in the watch window - but build times are the more serious problem. C++ projects always seem to suffer from appalling iteration times, but boost just seems to make things worse...
That would not be an option I'd consider. I think controlling your locks without the use of an outside entity is the safest way to avoid problems.
The Plant Patent Act excludes "sexual and tuber-propagated plants" - basically, pretty much all the crops you have to replant each season aren't covered, though it does restrict the propagation of fruit trees and the like. Prior to GMOs, sexually-propagated crops like corn were covered by the Plant Variety Protection Act, which is much less restrictive than the utility patents on GMOs - for example, it allows farmers to save and replant seeds, which is illegal with GMOs.

Those numbers in that chart are misleading. At its peak, WoW had up to 12 millions subscribers monthly,the current 5.6 millions are still monthly subscribers, which is much different than the other millions figures on the chart (total registered account or total sales -- not all of them are on a subscription model, and some like MapleStory are free to play).

To put it in perspective, WoW had 5 expansions, selling at $40-60 each at average of 10millions sales each (and you have to buy some of the previous one too), on top of the subscriptions and it's probably pulling in the minimum of $1-2 billions yearly revenue. It's not even a close call to the 2nd place ...

> but how do people actually go about finding anything in it?

The discoverability is pretty much the same as the old pull-downs and toolbar approach (and how you find things is pretty much the same -- click on the category whose label seems like what you might, and then look through whats revealed by that), but consolidated into what amounts to a set of toolbars organized into tabs, rather than a combination of toolbars and menus.

(And what often gets ignores is that a lot of the improvements have been in the contextual right-click pop-up, which means what you usually need often doesn't require using the ribbon at all.)

> does everyone just use google & try to find some blog post with screenshots?

No more so than with the old interface.

Most C and C++ programmers I know hate dragging in large dependencies (increase in build and runtime complexity, code size, "can I debug this if I have a problem," etc), and would consider a library depending on Boost to be a red flag at best, or a deal breaker at worst.
Sorry, I think I misinterpreted your original post (apologies). I thought you were saying "is this only good for one liners?", not "can this be done in one line". Now that I further understand what you are saying, I can very confidently say we are on the same page. What we have now should hint at what we want: there's actually no code to generate a graph, we interpret that any array (or array of arrays, or array of objects that have the same keys) can be interpreted as a graph. So we allow you to put that view on the data after the fact (as opposed to forcing you to learn the histogram function for example). Under the hood this is done with some schema generation/sniffing and query language. All this to say, the current graph viewer is certainly more powerful under the hood -- and we'd definitely like to make the features you requested easily available. Again -- really sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.
That's not how terminator works, nor is that how modern agriculture works.

Fields for seed are far removed from productive fields. It's trivial to keep them separate from contamination; in fact, it's essential that this is done to make selfs or directed crosses.

Terminator was made to address concerns about transgenes entering the wild. Think of it like a mule; you still have offspring, but they're infertile. That's what terminator does. It cannot ruin a crop. Seed is still made and can be sold and eaten. It simply is infertile.

A construct was first developed by the ARS and USDA, and they were quite right to pursue this. It's a useful technology.
Hmm, thats the C book I used in my intro to programming class as a first year EE major as UMD-CP. (If it matters, I later switched to Comp. Sci. because of that class) Why would it not be aimed at students?
> so inventing new languages stops being a pain

Now we need to convince programmers that learning new languages is not a pain and we'll live in a perfect world :-)
> The C book is terse and not really aimed at beginners or students.

I don't know about that. Knowing only a bit of Pascal (and Fortran and Basic, but they're less similar), I picked up K&R over a four-day weekend, and really understood it, without even a compiler to experiment with. (All except for argc and argv - had to try it out to see what was going on there.)
How big are we talking about for the compile times?

Is there any in-depth recent comparison of elm and purescript somewhere? I found some links from almost a year ago but I assume it changed a lot since then.
Kik Raises $50M from Tencent at $1B valuation
Musing:

Hmm, so let's play with Diffie-Hellplant. So you have two inbred genomes as two secrets, persisted as individual organisms. Alice and Bob negotiate on a public inbred genome that they pull from some kind of seed store (being careful to never re-use one they've used before!). Alice and Bob both create their own crossbreeds deterministically, from the secret organism and the public one. It's hard to get the private genomes from the two crosses, so they can send the seeds in the mail to each other.

After that, I'm not sure you can get two shared secret clones from the crossbreeds and the opposite private inbreeds. (ETA: Pretty positive you can't, though if anyone has any ideas along these lines, I'm eager to hear!)

Sounds like the start of some cypher-biopunk novel, though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_use_restriction_techno...

Terminator constructs exist, and yes, in corn too. They have useful applications, such as the restriction of transgenes from entering wild populations.

Think of terminator progeny like mules; they're simply infertile.
