Show HN: Random_compat – Use PHP7's CSPRNG Functions in PHP5 Projects
(Basing my comment on Kathy Sierra's post : Your app makes me fat[1].)

The idea is that the user is not on your site to get your ideas about web design but to get specific information. If that info is hard to find, they'll get out and try the next site.
Concentrate on making your content memorable rather than your UI.

I could be totally wrong but, I'm pretty sure that that's just a normal aspect of aging. Every single person I know has experienced some level of cognitive decline with age. The name thing is especially common, I find. So I wouldn't go around thinking you have Alzheimers in your family unless you have more reason to think it.

Considering this seems intended for use in somewhat corporate situations, it may or may not be that serious of a problem.

This is yet another situation where Kerberos got it right years and years ago, but is almost impossible to actually /use/ even now after n years.
I have a very high signal/noise ratio but that's because I did the work to follow interesting people. But its also true that the noise is encroaching and we as users have to do work to find more signal.

So one of the core problems of twitter is that you are required to do that; it's work. That's fixable.

Certainly the front page for a new visitor should be rich with content.
I have this board from Ethermania at home https://github.com/ethermania/WeatherShield1 and it works just great. Really inexpensive and the software is easy to modify.
Interesting that no-one has mentioned weibo, the chinese "copy" of twitter (hint: it's not actually a copy). I think weibo is a fantastic product that's ahead of twitter in many respects.

Just off the top of my head, weibo has:

- the "event" grouping that dcurtis mentions and a better topic grouping system ("micro topics")

- rich multimedia as a first class citizen (photo galleries especially are very popular)

- payments built-in - you can donate to or pay anyone on the platform. This is especially used in time of disaster. Weibo escrows the money for a bit to make sure the recipient is legitimate, btw

- properly threaded conversations, easy to follow

- a much more fleshed-out verified account system and the dev integration to connect companies to the system

I'm aware that what works in china may not work for twitter, but looking at what they're doing seems like a pretty good starting point.
Evolution of Mobile Phones, What's Next?
Actually I have the plan to make it support multiplayer using dojo.js, but before that I need to add other features like mining and routing into this game, hope won't make you wait long time^_^
actually, somebody already wrote a kernel for (at the time) IPython, using "my" github.com/sbinet/go-eval go interpreter:
https://github.com/takluyver/igo

my plan for this new go interpreter proposal, is to be able to use for scientific exploratory work (like we do with IPython right now when in a python-based ecosystem or CLing when in C++ land).
Parts of this are a little off, at least in how I use twitter.

"There is zero incentive in the product to interact with celebrities on Twitter, because no one will see the responses."

Maybe true for the 1mm+ follower people, but ironically, this is 90+% of how I actually use Twitter. I tweet at a mid-high volume (100k->500k) individual, and occasionally get a response, more often get a fave, and ever so often get a retweet.

For < 50k follower people, I almost always get a response if what I sent was thoughtful.

Also, I love looking at the responses to tweets - and often respond to those responses, and get a thread going with the responder - often dropping out the original person who tweeted altogether.

I'm not saying all is well in twitter world - but I quite enjoy (perhaps too much) the back and forth/threading/responding that twitter offers. I really, really don't need any more.
Neat... and I love the ads! "Power Companies fear this Chicago family" :_)
Because big companies act to set the rate also read up on statistics and how distributions work.
Wonderful ansible, thank you for supporting the idea. We'll have to work-out how to use channels to communicate between interpreted and compiled sides of the app.
Sorry, will support multiplayer by node.js, meanwhile plan to support saving by local storage; I'm studying framework dojo.js now and add its useful functions into my own framework gFrame.js
Seriously? One week is too long to spend with those you love? Seriously?

tiDB – Scalable RDBMS Inspired by Google F1 with Support for MySQL Protocol
Yeah, that's my understanding of the reasoning. If someone admits to doing one of those things, the US doesn't let them in. If someone denies it and the US catches them lying, it's one more justification to give them the boot and / or prosecute them.

The Nazi question is still relevant, if barely. There are still a few of them around.
Chennai is a classic dead case. That city could have been maintained like London with water ways and road ways. Now they completely forgot about even tap water. Based on Thirukkural[1] if there was one thing that king/ruler should do that would be providing water to citizens free. It is very sad.

They are all minor/semi-major style differences. But in the end they all have a round wheel, some buttons in the middle and some form of RPM+speed meters.

Definitely wouldn't say I am basking in differences.

>At times I think back to when websites were produced in Flash. For all its downfalls (and there were a lot) one thing was always true. Flash sites rarely looked the same.

This is the take away line. There's a reason why we now have beautiful looking websites to a fairly uniform standard and that after the 2000s, the usage of Flash on Web sites declined.

The fact that "all websites look the same" should be celebrated in as much that we've found a formula that is practical for consuming content and for the most part, works.
The designer seems to be harking back to a time when pretty much the only browser was one on a laptop and you could reliably assume 764pixel width.

These days, you have no idea what is browsing your website and more than likely it is somebody on a phone. So priorities change.

Content makers want their message in front of as many people as possible. To achieve this, you make it work on a small screen. This brings good design constraints and stops design for the sake of design.
This all started when you said:

> Floats are storage formats for approximations of numbers. Floats are, by definition, not relevant if one wants to store an exact number exactly.

This is setting up a dichotomy of float=approximate, and the implied contrast is that Perl 6 rationals are exact.

Float is "by definition, not relevant if one wants to store an exact number exactly."

You didn't say "an exact rational," you said "an exact number." Your implication is that other representations are relevant if one wants to store an exact number exactly. You don't say rational, so you imply that other representations can represent an arbitrary number exactly.

If you try to advertise Perl 6 as "exact", in comparison to those messy floats, you're going to get people who are very unhappy when they find out that 2pi / 2 isn't exactly pi.

And you're also shortchanging people who use eg. JavaScript doubles as exact integer indices every day. X/1 isn't a "silly" case, integers are extremely relevant across all kinds of calculations.

People who want to truly understand this landscape need to understand the contrasts between various number representations and the pros and cons of each. No representation can represent every real number perfectly, so everyone is going to run up against inexactness in their calculations unless they know how to restrict the domain of their calculations to numbers that can be perfectly represented with their chosen number representation.

The German system has multiple tiers, the lowest degree can be reached after 3 years or 2 years in some cases for high-school graduates. To get the degree you have to pass a test. After that you can get some additional degrees and/or pass the test to be a Meister, which is quite costly. In the past you had to have several years of work experience to apply to a Meister exam, but now you can visit schools, too.

In some professions you are not allowed to start a business if you do not have the Meister. As a Meister you are now able to train other people doing their apprenticeship and are allowed to study within your field at a university, usually to be an engineer instead of a craftsman. So technically you could get a Phd without having finished school (very unlikely).

> To provide an interpreter that can embed inside a Go application, in order to provide scriptability to the Go ecosystem at large.

Can we move away from scripting engines at some point. They are big black boxes that you throw characters into and then "things" happen that you have no control over.

* What if I don't want the security?

* What if I want more security?

* What if I want actual pointers?

* What if I want to do one of a million things that don't fall into the original assumptions about what a Go interpreter would do?

Compiler-as-a-service is the future. A high quality parse tree, with a built-in interpreter or possibly JITter. Refactoring tools and tons of other cool things can be built instead of the same old black box.

If it's just going to be another plain-old interpreter, it would be best to instead focus on integrating V8 because a Go interpreter would bring far less to the table (notably interpreters are typically slow and one of the big benefits of Go is that it can be fast).
They help to compensate the lacking type system.
Haha! Yes, I know I was going to trip on that one. Let's just call it natural for convenience sake, because we've been doing it for some 30,000 years, give or take. Factually, it's not natural. It's just as natural as being civil.

Family ties are still as important today as they were back then, which is why people ought to think more about their children and their mental health when they decide to part ways for their personal greed.
Do people usually remember the current date? I can almost never tell it and it was like this since forever.
When they say bad programmers they simply mean not as good as them, which is a mean but true and fair thing to say.
This film steers into "Grave of the Fireflies" territory, something that may be great, but you have trouble watching it once without weeping.
Iran is easy. The only complication for Americans or British is you need a minder. It's an added expense but pretty straight forward. I totally recommend it. Most people are so friendly it actually starts to become a problem to walk down the street without having to stop every 500 metres to talk to someone who wants to welcome you and ask if you have been to their home town yet, etc, etc. Bring books though. Not much to do at night in Iran ;)
The biggest difference I see when compared with SOA is that microservices uses a dumb-pipe model, whereas SOA's use of an ESB pushed it to a smart-pipe model, which, was much more complicated overall to set up, manage, scale.

The math should probably be way understated, for a general non-MIT/CS audience:

"Abelson: There’s a tremendous amount [of math] in this 6.001 book. That’s partly because we were writing it for MIT. You want to talk about higher-order procedures, so the obvious thing you can do is you can express the idea of an integral. So that’s an obstacle for lots of places. Remember, at MIT the context we were writing in is every person who took the course had just had a semester of calculus."

"We actually did some versions for the Humanities faculty, where we didn’t do that at all, and we effectively started with the data structure chapter and then talked about the ideas for how do you structure and manipulate data, and then do abstractions over that." http://codequarterly.com/2011/hal-abelson/
Could you give a quick summary (or a link) about how Kerberos works in this respect ?
"Nothing great is Built On Twitter"

That quote sums it all up.

Most of Dustin's suggested extensions are things other people should have built on Twitter. Of course, it also keys into Dalton's App.Net plan where Twitter should have been the stream and people should have used a countless applications to make the stream more discernible and allow Twitter focus on ensuring the backbone stays in place.

Funny enough, that is how twitter originated. Others built their clients and they focused on the core. They lost that direction and wanted to "own it all" like Facebook. But they took that direction rather too early.

Take Tweetstorming as an example which is a niche need. My team built a tweetstorming app http://writerack.com. It pulls and pushes all it's content from and to Twitter. In an ideal case, Twitter should support it and similar ones rather than making Twitter.com more convoluted with the aim of doing everything themselves.

If Twitter had supported third patrty developers, someone/people would have built a killer app for using twitter to follow and interact live events. That would have brought another set of people into the platform and that extends to other use cases too.

Hopefully, Twitter gets it right because I have come to really find Twitter useful.
My main reason is that I don't want to write to an audience of bots. I'm using twitter semi-anonymously so none of my real life friends follow me there (I don't have a separate account for this), so people who follow me and I follow are the people I'd talked to before on twitter. If I'm followed by more bots than actual people, I feel like the social feeling of twitter would fade away. I have a small number of followers (around 70) and keeping my followers as authentic as possible gives me the feeling that people care about what I write. (They probably don't but blocking bots gives me the illusion that they do, because my follow count rarely changes.)

Additionally, I'm obsessively organised and spend a lot of time thinking about the tiniest of details and this may be a product of that tiring (and somewhat problematic) personality trait. This is the same reason why I delete my tweets the day after I tweeted them.
Yes, I guess some papers do that actually.

Another thing though, what makes you think people care about what apps are showing? Companies with apps giving presents to... who?
+1 for the idea of integrating V8.

I tried using V8 from Go, but it turned out to be a performance-disaster mainly because the garbage collection strategy of Go requires objects in Go to be movable, hence all interactions between Go and V8 have to go through a lookup-table.
As in "All the books looks the same"? I see nothing wrong with finding optimal ways to present information.

It's impressive how big cultural the gap is between people not taking their full vacation entitlement and people not taking their full salary.

I've had people try to hand back vacation days - but I've never had anyone try to hand back salary.

Personally I try to take all my vacation because, as a professional, I have an obligation to make sure the company could keep going if I change jobs or get hit by a bus. Doing routine tests for bus factor resiliency is as important as testing your backups restore and your backup power works right :)
Suspending all internal disputes in the presence of an external foe is a common family/tribal behavior, and not exclusively Indian.

This could be perfectly normal age related deterioration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_aging

There are things you can do to reduce the effect, but it will affect most of us to a certain extent eventually if we live long enough. Heck, I show such symptoms when tired at 37, have done for years, and suspect everyone does too. Also, my late grandmother had problems with names (she'd sometimes run through a couple before getting the right one, even flipping genders part way through the list) but otherwise seemed to have a fairly complete and pretty well polished set of marbles until the end.

Of course if you have any concern you should broach the subject of consulting a relevant doctor. It might be nothing (well, nothing unusual) but it is worth being slightly paranoid with such matters in case it is something significant for which there are treatments to delay, mitigate, or possibly block, more serious ramifications.

One key seems to be remaining active, both mentally and physically. Staying mentally active is a no brainer here (sorry...), and recent studies seem to indicate that the old wisdom of staying active prolongs not just physical fitness but mental awareness and other abilities too (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28001-why-choosing-th...).
"I can recall a number of times scrolling through the entire home page for a company, only to still be confused about what the product actually does."

This seems to be a major problem lately with startups, especially ones promoted on YC. The home page is often one big image with a little vague text and a "sign up" button. Half the time you can't even tell if it's a shipping product, or much about what it does.

There are people who will click on anything, so this strategy looks, at first, like it's working. ("We have a zillion users and signups! We're ready for another financing round!") As the clickbait advertising industry has discovered, the click on everything crowd does not buy much. Most clicks come from about 10% of users, and they're not the users with money.
An audio format for creative DJing
I've dreamed about this for so long! More generally, every time I've gotten really excited about: microbiology, chemistry, maybe geology and well, bioinformatics, I lost heart quickly because I could find no tools that were interactive, simulating and stimulating to use, preferably visual like this. Thanks! When I meet programmers who can have not one original idea about some side project to do, I think back to things I want like this, and wonder if those programmers could find ideas if other areas of life would interest them. I mean, there are SO many tools waiting to be built for every new field I barely study, it's still such a gold rush of software building opportunities if you're not tied to thinking only ideas "that scale".

Edit: The README ends saying there are other chemical apps like this. What are them? I'd actually really like one with just plaintext notation.
