On my team, you would surely say many things about ponies in our internal chat.
The official explanation is that he climbed into it himself to practice escapology. You know like people in police stations have great difficulty using stairs.
To be fair, that is often a good assumption to make.
What he means to say is that a nuclear meltdown can fuck up a huge area for millenia, but a coal incident can't.
On finding specialists. Call all the oncologists you can in your area and ask them if they are specialist for this type of cancer, if they aren't ask them they know a specialist.
Chargers aren't that big. They'd take up about as much space as a parking meter. Lots of places have one parking meter per parking space.

Start right there:

You need to find people who have gone through what your going through. Im sure some of them have already parsed this information, and would be better suited than any of us in helping to sort through it.

As for finding specialists, your current doctor, and the people he recommends are your best bets. The medical community is a strange one, and "best" is a hard term to qualify. The best doctor might have the lowest rate of curing paitents because they only take on the worst cases. The "best" doctor might be the one who understands the outcome and makes sure that your treatment matches your lifestyle and acceptance of outcome (time here vs quality of life).

Find those support groups, really go find them and USE THEM. They are going to help you and yours in a time that is going to be really rough to get through. If you knew me personally the fact that I was telling you "go find a support group" would probably shock you, as Im not the type of person you would expect to recommend or attend such a thing. They will help you, it will be hard, its going to suck, but you should do it!
How is this different from building a huge database of n-grams and doing probabilistic pattern matching on them?

Ask HN: How to keep up with product screenshots?
I imagine most of you have the same problem when documenting your products. Good documentation requires relevant screenshots!

Is there a good way of re-taking fresh screenshots with minimum effort?

One way I can think of is to automate everything with either PhantomJS or Selenium. What do you think?
It is not that everyone is cycling, just a lot of people. Many (most?) people still choose the U-bahn or tram (on the east side).

I think that it is a question of lifestyle. Instead of choosing hot and moist U-bahn, you have a refreshing ride on the bicycle. Especially when the distances are short. Well, this is just a hypothesis.
That's a very interesting paper, quite well written too. Thanks for the link.

> and while there's literally tons of information online about treatments and procedures, how would one go about digesting it all ?

This is actually a problem for practicing physicians as well, as knowledge transfers slowly across the industry. Many professional societies (American Heart Association for example) try to address this problem by releasing clinical practice guidelines which are suggested best practices for managing different diseases. You should check if the American Cancer Society or another equivalent group issues such guidelines.

I would also strongly recommend consulting an oncologist or a neurologist, who will be able to point you towards the best treatment centers in the area and the best treatment options.
Not all Tesla owners charge at home, but almost all do.

It's pretty inconvenient to own an EV that you can't charge at home. It's doable in some cases, but it's far better to have home charging.

I'm pretty sure that 90+% of EV owners of all stripes charge at home, whether Tesla, LEAF, or other. If you see them charging in public, it's usually either to get a bit of extra range because they're planning to drive beyond what a single charge can give them, or they're just taking advantage of the availability of changing even though they don't need it. Mostly the latter.

(Just in case it comes across wrong, that isn't meant to be disparaging. I plug in when there's a free charger even if I don't need it. If it's offered, I figure I might as well take advantage. I do leave my phone number on the dashboard in case someone comes along who actually needs it to get home.)

Of course not. We shouldn't have governments at all, because all they do is exploit us. That's why they exist.

All you need to see is that they're taking our money by force, and you can make sense of everything they do - it's all about keeping us blind to the exploitation so that they can keep on doing it.

King's had "The Divine Right" to rule over everyone else, and governments have "The Social Contract", which amounts to the same thing.
For treatment today you probably want to look at either Cochrane Collaborations - meta reviews of many published papers. You can also check out the NICE guidance. The evidence they use might be useful to see if stuff works or not.

This is a mirror (one of a few) of Al Kossow's bitsavers.org website. It looks like bitsavers.org redirects to a mirror because Al's server doesn't have the bandwidth to put up with direct access.

The contents of the dump are all Al's choice. Much of it he has collected himself, but if you send him PDFs or software dumps and he thinks it is a fit, he'll add it. I don't believe he intends for it to be a clearing house of every possible document or bit of software. It started mostly as scans of mainframe documents, but over the years the scope has crept wider.

Al has spent many years (> 15?) collecting all that stuff, and a few years ago he was hired by the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
This is how iPod Voiceover titles are recorded.

Which is rather lovely, because someone in Apple HQ has decided that the (London) band Saint Etienne must be French, and so Thomas faithfully reports that the current track is "Leek a Motorweh".
Ask HN: Why is North associated with 'Up'?
Why is the 'North' associated with 'Up' in maps? A world map turned upside down would be disorienting but correct. Why do we draw North in the upper part? Is there any reason other than convention?
This is a great intro. Here's my favorite OS X Terminal trick:

⌘. (command period) is a hotkey not defined in the menu for sending BREAK. This is automatically equivalent to ctrl+c in shells, ctrl+g in emacs and ESC in Vim. Similarly, ⌘K is short for clearing the screen. These are much more ergonomic than the standards on Mac laptops and wireless keyboards.

This contest does not make a lot of sense. Keys for cryptocurrencies are always asymmetric but it is implied that a symetric key is supposed to be produced, in addition to that there is pretty much no way to send data from a page without it being easily detectable via DevTools. A much better challenge would be to generate compromised asymmetric keys that could be easily cracked.
Where is your relative living? Typically the university hospitals have the best experts, ie UCSF and Stanford in the SF Bay Area (although for a GBM, I'd recommend UCSF). There are various ranking sites that list the best hospitals and in my experience, they're a good place to start.

I know it feels productive to start reading as much as you can about the disease pathology and treatments, and it won't hurt to be more informed, but for a stage IV GBM, your time would be much better spent trying to get hooked up with the best docs in the country. It's a terrible thing to deal with and some doctors have spent decades immersed in the research and literature -- let them be the experts but make sure you find someone who can give your relative a chance.
I hope nobody solves it "just for fun" without a promise from Wolfram to free the decrypted SMP source code.
What you are talking about is hydro-generation.

What I am talking about is hydro-pump-storage.

That type of storage has no dam that could fail – you take two lakes, one higher than the other, connect them with a tunnel, and place a turbine in the tunnel. Now you can push the water up (store energy) or let it flow down (produce energy).
But the conversion doesn't happen overnight. EV adoption will happen slowly over the course of decades. That's plenty of time for the grid to be upgraded in a slow, incremental fashion.

The same could be said of the hydrogen infrastructure, except that hydrogen faces a massive chicken-and-egg problem. There are a grand total of twelve hydrogen fueling stations in the US at the moment. These stations cost a ton of money to build. Who will build them if there are almost no hydrogen cars on the road? Who will buy hydrogen cars if there are almost no filling stations?

EV charging infrastructure is relatively cheap. That means it doesn't face the same chicken-and-egg problem. A person whose daily driving fits entirely within their EV's range doesn't need any charging stations except the one at his house, which can typically be installed for $0-2,000. (The $0 is for if a suitable outlet is already available and you just use the mobile charger that comes with the car.) And since the stations are relatively cheap, that means that businesses can install a few to attract EV owners without making it a major investment. Because of this, there are already over 10,000 public charging stations in the US, with more showing up all the time.

Each additional station stresses the grid a little bit more. But it also contributes money to maintaining and upgrading the grid. As long as stupid political forces don't prevent utilities from gradually upgrading over time, there will be no problem there.
Not everyone owns a garage. For example, I have zero possibility to charge an electric car at home, so buying an electric car right now would be infeasible.
Actually older cities are harder to make compatible for bikes.

No so in the case of Macsyma and Wolfram's own SMP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram#Symbolic_Manip...): "Wolfram led the development of the computer algebra system SMP (Symbolic Manipulation Program) in the Caltech physics department during 1979–1981. A dispute with the administration over the intellectual property rights regarding SMP—patents, copyright, and faculty involvement in commercial ventures—eventually caused him to resign from Caltech.

It's not infamous enough, but Symbolics managed to arrange to solely license Macsyma, as far as we could tell to keep it out of everyone else's hands. Wikipedia seems to be accurate in this section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macsyma#Commercialization based on my communications with Danny Hillis after the sole licencing when I was working for LMI (which also was selling SMP), working for Gold Hill in 1984, and working for Joel Moses in the late '80s (he was indeed none too happy about how MIT had treated him WRT to Macsyma).
You don't need this if you write your app with babel. it will automatically add polyfills if needed.
The definition of all mental disease is completely based on social norms, a mental disease is just something which prevents you from behaving in a way certain people deem 'normal'. People like Szasz have posited it as a method for social control, where psychiatrists are proxies for authoritarian state power. I think if you asked Nietzsche he would say it's a natural response to the death of god; people look for something else to worship, and it's capitalism/obedience, and people who don't believe in it need help much in the way heretics of old were deserving of our help and pity to find God. Now instead of priests we look to psychologists, the priests of our new religion.

If you need evidence simply look at homosexuality; this was a mental disease while society didn't accept gay people (being gay made it impossible to live a "normal" life in society). Now that we think being gay is just fine it's no longer a disease. Nothing medical changed, ergo the definition was not in essence a medical one.

Looks to me like DBus is actually pretty good and just needs some good implementations, some bug reports and some active contributors. I'm not super familiar with non-server applications in linux, but isn't DBus also in widespread use?

Most linux server apps I know communicate through the filesystem by leaving a .pid,.lock and/or a .sock somewhere and then setting up a custom channel using a handle to that. It feels kind of hacky, but at least you get to control the crappiness.

I'd never heard of the hunter vs farmer hypothesis. But, it's very interesting. A disproportionate number of my friends and I, although intelligent, had lifelong difficulties with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse (as did many of our parents). We always used to ponder and hypothesize, as kids (in the 80s / 90s), that we just weren't built for modern life and that our recent ancestors were probably nomadic hunter gatherers. We felt like our bodies and minds truly were trying to push us to escape, to run wild in the forest.
`say` is one of my favorite little things about OS X. In a couple of my build script, I have throw in a couple random say commands if say is installed on the system. Everyonce in a while a Dev will ping me when their computer speaks to them.

Is the engine stopped while the car is moving? That would save even more fuel compared to only stopping the engine while stationary. A further improvement would involve starting the engine without using the starter motor when possible.

I could do all that with my old car "manually", but I only tried it a few times.

>Sarkeesian doesn’t give me the address of her San Francisco apartment over email. Instead, she texts it to me a few hours before we’re set to meet.

Because texting is so much more safer than email and what would it even matter if when she sent the address? Then again her job is to be victim, so this is just her attempt to act like any of the threats were credible.

Just in case someone doesn't know about the threats, none of the death threats have been reported to FBI (or even local PD) and the shooting threat that "forced Sarkeesian to cancel her talk" was pronounced as bogus by police several hours before she canceled her talk.

I'm not saying that people making these threats aren't doing bad things, but Sarkeesian is trying to build an empire on being the victim.
I've seen that project before starting combinatorics.js. It is a useful library, however, I felt that it was a little basic for what Combinatorics research needs. I would like to dive deeper, implementing such objects like Posets, Paths (Dyck paths and the like), and enumerative sets.

js-combinatorics is a great starting point though.
> The stuff that "kills" has a short half-life. The stuff that lasts for millennia is almost safe enough to store in your underpants.

Author here. Haven't maintained this in a while. It's down due to some breaking changes in libraries and I haven't updated the code to handle it.

I also stopped using this as you could just use babel to automatically use whichever polyfill you use with babel-runtime. Saving a few kb is an overoptimization.

If you're interested in maintaining this project, let me know. I can add you to the GitHub organization.
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/441/on-maps-why-is-... and http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/2/maps-cartograph... seem to cover the topic pretty well. Is there anything you want that a web search on the topic fails to resolve?
Two reasons: UX and intent

UX: My next comment usually involves looking at my previous ones and keeping that flow. sometimes my journal has todos that i'm tracking; things like that.So having it all in one place is useful and the git log experience breaks that into two pieces: one to view the log to date and another to add a new log entry.There's probably an opportunity for a shell script that loads up the log in an editor, allows me to add an entry, diffs it on exit and auto commits.

Sometimes i'll enter the same text in both my commit message and journal; and some other times my commit message essentially says "look at the journal, too detailed to list here".

Intent: Sometimes I use the journal to track not just what i am doing but also what I should be doing. Alternate paths I want to try, philosophical sidebars on why I'm doing what I'm doing, etc. These entries explain to my future self why the project is in the state that I come back to it :). I'm not sure how I could put that into anything other than prose - since its not fully fleshed out code yet. I've tried design docs and that works sometimes, but usually I just want to jot down my thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness mode rather than figure out the right document to put the thought in. The journal works best for this. Later, I'll pull things from the journal into a design doc.
Probably one of the oldest ways of orientation were the stars, in particular the north one, that is more or less fixed in the sky, and it was up.

So probably the first maps (and the ones coming after them) followed that idea.

This would make for a dynamite series hybrid powerplant! By recovering the exhausted heat energy, you're getting a huge boost in thermodynamic efficiency, and in such an arrangement the engine could be optimized to be very quiet and efficient by sacrificing maximum output and throttle response.
I agree with your position but comparing to bombs is not a good comparison. Nuclear reactors contain far more fissile material than the bombs dropped on Japan. Of the two, Little Boy had by far the most fissile material, with 140lbs of U235. By contrast, a nuclear reactor will contain many tons of fissile material. The possibility for widespread long-term contamination of the landscape is therefore much greater.

Again, I think you've reached the right conclusion, but looking at the lack of long-term damage from the bombs doesn't tell us anything either way about the potential for damage from a reactor.
Thanks for checking it out and wanting to contribute!

So, in my opinion, the best way is to look at the roadmap (on the README) and pick interesting functions you would want to implement. If you are unfamiliar with any topics, feel free to either create an issue and we could discuss it there (I don't know any other option for this type of forum), or independently research it.

Since I just started this project, I haven't fully written good documentation on contributing, so if anything is unclear, please let me know so I can fix it!
Will a solar panel on top of the care help? Could someone do the math?
"Far more" is even an understatement. Coal kills more people every year than nuclear ever has, and that still holds true even if you include the two bombs dropped on Japan in "nuclear."
I believe the reason for this is so that when pulse-dialling, all the other numbers keep the correct value, i.e.:

1 = 1 pulse
2 = 2 pulses
...
0 = 10 pulses

Or else they'd all be offset by one
No, the point of this tool is that some browsers require a polyfill, and some don't because the feature is natively supported. A transpiler like Babel cannot possibly determine that, so it has to be safe and include polyfills for all features used in the code it's transpiling, reglardless of whether or not the browser you're using already supports the feature.

A good example of this is Promises, which are supported in many modern browsers, but not all.

Nobody has ever built a profitable coal power plant without substantial government subsidies either, but nobody calls them "not economically viable."

The difference, of course, is that coal subsidies are in the easier-to-ignore form of "allow you to kill a lot of people downwind from your plant without compensation."
