A Pattern Language is a gorgeous book. We are currently redesigning our home, and this is worth its weight in gold.

I always had the notion though, the software pattern way was a misinterpretation of Alexanders ideas. Alexander doesn't stop to emphasize that a pattern can (and should) have an uncountable number of slightly different implementations, as the special situation requests. He is outspokenly against reusing an implementation without adequate modification for the situation in architectural applications.

I always understood the highest goal in software engineering is to write code that can be reused without modification. I never could agree that this is a good idea for the users of software. It is only more economical to build. Just what Alexander defines as the most evil thing ever, because in architecture this leads to faceless homes.

The idea to reuse implementations of patterns is one that in another context delivers us cars that are more or less all VW Golf (Rabbit) underneath.

:S. Wait, so you'd rather move your money to HK who can use it for what they want than allow some to be paid to help refugees? You're aware that only 1% of the UK budget goes to foreign aid? So of your money being taxed so like 0.0025% of your money will be going to help?
If you knew enough to move your money offshore I would have said you knew enough to know that too, so I presume you had loads of other reasons to move it not just this.

Ask HN: What TLD would you choose?
Hi,

I'm planning on launching a dev startup and I'm in serious doubts what TLD to use.

I have two:
- one with .io extension
- one with .ro extension (I'm from Romania)

.io advantages:
- geeky
- internationally known amongst dev people

.ro advantages:
- great for national identity

Any advices?
Various people have been speculating on what problems the human mind was designed to solve since the dawn of human self-awareness. We haven't even got anything close to consensus on fundamental stuff like the extent and direction of causal relationships between language structure and the way a mind operates.

Things have got a bit better with fancy math and brain scanners to actually test hypotheses about how these psychological theories correspond to brain function, but we're a long way even from detailed answers to most relatively simple and defined experimental questions like "what's the difference between the way person X's mind and person Y's mind approach narrowly-defined problem A"

We're probably not even close to knowing how many open problems we have to solve, never mind actually solving them.

Hi there, I've never seen a 4k monitor screen set up as a working monitor. Would you mind posting a pic somewhere of what it looks like full of application windows?

I'd just like an idea of how much I could fit on one. I've been considering about buying a third monitor, but I think that a single larger monitor would be easier to deal with.

In my work, I frequently have 10+ windows open for editors, graphics, other references resources, and finally the application I document might need 5-6 of its own.

Dear Mr Gilbert,

We do own the Monkey Island brand, but we are of course ready and willing to let go of the three headed monkeys and scary voodoo curses once again. You have our blessings. And curses.

Sincerely,
Disney

Yes, if it's important to you then you should try and find an employer that values it, hence it should go on your CV.
With delayed XSS testing, security engineers inject an XSS payload on one application that may get reflected back in a separate application with a different origin.

No need to go beyond application scope. Most tools even fail to detect XSS if it is reflected not in the immediate response, but in a later response. They inject the XSS payload and check if the immediate HTTP response contains that very string. If not, there's no XSS.

Maybe Sleepy Puppy is a solution. You could now define some standard click-paths through your app with Selenium IDE and inject various payloads into every parameter. I didn't take a deeper look in how Sleepy Puppy works, but automated workflow execution + payload injection + delayed XSS detection is what matters in modern complex web apps.

Yes.

It indicates to employers that you have an inherent drive to learn things (i.e. beyond what is required as part of your formal education). And that is a good thing.

Deceptive and legal. Just like the mayo.

In the two market chains where I shop, they have all the organic products (except for the organic versions of main-stream products by the same company) on both sides of one aisle, not inter-mixed with normal food.

I don't know if that was to make it easier for organic shoppers to find the right things or to avoid complaints from other shoppers who accidentally picked up an organic product and returned it with a complaint.

The egg board is doing what they get paid to do. They're marketers. That's why I suggest that you ignore them. Just like every other product marketing group. Buy what you want not what the marketers decided.

When I briefly worked in payday lending, I learned there were certain credit approval methods that were categorically illegal. And we had to be auditable, so wasn't like we could just bury the crime in algorithms.

Address information, e.g. living in a poor neighborhood or living near defaulters could not be used in credit scoring. Race could not be used in credit scoring. I forget what else, but there were some regulations in place. Watch for Facebook to lobby to have those eliminated, or pursue technology that somehow allows them to hide or skirt use of unlawful scoring methods.
The library is ramdajs.com and it can be grabbed from npm.

I do not agree that everything should be handled with standard libraries. It's better for these things to be modular and versioned, instead of them being pulled from a big bloated standard library.

The code clearly does what was being asked in a very simple and non-broken way.

Perhaps the issue here is that non-JavaScript engineers are used to kitchensink standard libraries and avoid mixing and matching to get the best experience the ecosystem offers.

I only say that on many days I spend more time in my vim than in my bed. I usually run it in a terminal Window.
Interesting, isn't it?

I swim (since I was 13, that is > 37 years). I also don't train like a maniac any more but simply try to improve my style and keep my fitness. But I hardly meet anyone in the pool half my age who has the slightest chance to keep up. This is not meant as boasting at all. The good non-professional athletes seem to be > 40 these days.

Is that a sign that we don't have good trainers? Or do others only start to work out after the doctor starts to pale while looking at the blood analysis?
I've become a big fan of ncurses software over the years without really realising. Newsbeuter, irssi, cmus/mocp, vim, mutt. It's the resource efficiency and speed of use that make the difference with their shiny UI counterparts. That and still having a GUI, albeit a minimum viable GUI.

It has inspired me more than once to pick up K&R's C and have a stab at a tool of my own that I'd love to have - but it's way down on the current list of priorities.

...Now wondering why the question - are you working on something?

EDIT: Forgot a special mention for Finch (pidgin client), which along with the others runs nicely on Tmux (another forgotten mention) on a perma-on server. Rpi2 in my case.
Don't get held up decisions like this. Just pick one and move on. Moving forwards is much more important than getting this 'right'. Besides, if your startup fails because of which TLD you chose then something seriously weird has happened.
I guess their servers need to be payed as well..
It probably has something to do with the amount of data. The file I did when I checked was 11k. I think it's a pretty cool trick, too.
How We Work: Fist of Five
There goes my morning.
The yearly numbers are more impressive/important:

Hit the gym.

It does not matter how you look, or how much hair you have left on your head when it is attached to a well built body.

And know what the funny thing is. We all look same on the inside. I am pretty sure your skeleton and the skeleton of Brad Pitt looks the same (Save for a difference in height). What you have on the outside, can be changed. Muscle can be built and fat can be lost. The only think that matters is, "How bad you want it?" (Also how many depressed body builders have you seen?)

So go on hit the gym (A good one with a good trainer, I guess you can easily afford that). Turn your desperation into muscle (But don't overdo and don't skip leg workouts).

And, this is very important, do not expect shit to change overnight. Actually don't expect anything. Just hit the gym and work your ass out. Never stop and ask yourselves. "What is the point anyway?". After an initial spurt of growth, your progress will probably hit a plateau. But just keep at it, even after you stop growing.

You can also join some dance classes, or martial arts classes. Force yourself to get out more often and meet more people.

And eventually you will start to see things differently. Good luck.

Well that's the thing. Americans generally don't think about their foreign policy. When you destabilize a country to get rid of its dictator you create all sorts of hardship for the people.

And because of the grand chessboard games you want to play, their lives have been completely destroyed so they try to flee, but there is no where for them to go to...

To be fair, this is a real problem. The radio space is not unlimited and is regulated for practical reasons; until those practical reasons exists, regulations will have to exist.

Startup claims new, smarter brain-based chips for machine learning
A friend of mine have read your post. He doesn't have an account, so I include here his message:

Dude, I know your situation very well from my own life experience.
100% familiar.
I've gone past it.
If you wanna know how - keep reading:

1. If you've reached undesired places in your life - it for sure means
that you've followed the wrong roads. Gone the wrong path for you.
What you harvest now, is the plants you've been sowing all of your
life, until now. Keep sowing the same seeds, you'll keep harvesting
the same results.
I would suggest you to doubt and question everything you thought and
believed about life, and recalculate route... ;-)

2. Here are the good news:
Have you asked yourself why do you post this question here in the web,
instead of jumping out of the window?..
What is that urge inside you that makes you wanna live?? Wanna be happy??
Block all your thoughts aside, just focus on that infinitely deep urge
of inside of you, that made you come here and ask for help.
This urge alone is the answer, the key for you to get out of the mud,
and live your life the way you want them to be.
You might, however, have to let go and give up things (you think) you
want - in order to break out of your own jail.
In other words - GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
Don't hold anything back. Drop all of your attachments. Be willing TO
SACRIFICE EVERYTHING, in order to attain that which is really
important to you.
Do you even know what it is?..
If not, finding it out will be a good start. ;-)

3. Get into a group of ppl like you. A group of searchers. Study
together, practice together, share your experience s and problems with
each other. That's crucial for you and will help you way beyond you
can imagine. Just do it.
I've started by searching google with all questions I had about life,
girls, love. Don't prejudge anything. Go with whatever speaks to your
heart.

If it feels good - you're on the right way!!!

4. Lack of sex IS the reason for you unwillingness to live. Sex is
life force in our body. Once that vital enrgey is surpressed and block
inside of us, all of the universe becomes meaningless!!!
I want you to notice a very important point:
These two problems are circularly dependant!!! They CREATE EACH OTHER.
You are caught in a loop of no sex - no life desire - no sex - and so
on.
One sure way to break out of this miserable loop was given to you in
part 2 in my answer. :-)

I could write here a whole book for you, but I think you got enough. I will
finish with a quote of Tyler Durden (fight club, (RSD one is also
highly recommended)):
"It's only after you've lost everything, that you are free to do anything."

Have an awesome journey.
They've been making some headway into low-light performance for their sensors, which undoubtedly helps here.
What is the difference between replication and reproduction?

When people draw a distinction, it is usually that
replication refers to doing exactly the same thing, and getting the same results, whereas reproduction refers to doing a different thing, but reaching the same conclusion.

There is interesting discussion of different forms of verification n "Replication, Reproduction and Re-analysis: Three ways for verifying experimental findings": http://sequoia.cs.byu.edu/lab/files/reser2010/proceedings/Go...
No, if you don't return anything from main, return 0 is added for you by the compiler, at least in C++ and recent versions of C.
Lesson of the day: Hidden form values are not hidden from the user, they just aren't plainly visible to the user on screen.

Never "hide" sensitive data in those hidden input fields.
> Even if this one is sincere, do you really think one man is going to resist the combined pressures of all the interest groups that are in place ?

In the real world you have to compromise, while he may perhaps resist interest groups his constituents may not and he will have to compromise with them and by proxy may be influenced.

But I believe he's the best so far, out of all of them, in term of his views and mines.

I don't expect any president to be perfect they're only human. And I don't expect his views to be exactly like mine, if I wanted that then I would be running really.

But I believe he's an honest man like Jimmy Carter.

I hope he win but if not at least he's pushing Democrats toward the left more so and stopping the march toward center.

Each item has 16 CSS classes (!) attached to it: 2 for the position, 2 for the dimensions, times 4 for each breakpoint.

It sounds unusable to keep track of all these classes (even with preprocessors) but the drag'n'drop feature changes everything, and makes this an excellent tool to create a landing page builder.
Semi related, anyone got a great lib/framework for graphs/charts/plots in ncursers with python? I'm considering to build some simple terminal monitor utility to keep track of health status but haven't really looked in to it yet.
That's true, but at least Java applets died a natural death instead of being axed.

I checked the history of Silverlight and the first version was released in 2007. jQuery was released in 2006 so Silverlight was a classic case of "too little, too late".

Real Java applications run well nowadays, so much so that you don't notice it's Java (except that you always have to give them more memory...)

And yes, you can still use MFC ;)

With TypeScript [1] you can get the best of both worlds: statically checked code with tool-assisted refactoring plus the ability to drop down to JS when the type system doesn't support what you want to do. (Of course, you'll now need to be careful about it and try to isolate the dynamic code from the rest of the system and present a static facade to it)
