Redux – Reinventing Flux – Interview with Dan Abramov
What you do with the resources you control is an interesting question. But the one I'm pointing at here is how you get those resources.

If you read about scam artists from the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was a lot of innovation where people filled their pockets in ways that were perfectly legal but negative sum for the society as a whole. (Joseph "Yellow Kid" Weil's biography is a fun read.) This led to a whole new series of laws, including those relating to wire fraud.

How those innovative scammers spent their ill-gotten gains is a separate question from asking whether the way they filled their pockets was right.
Some people take the Hoffice structure (speaking out working goals at the start of the day, 45-15min pomodoro technique, fun 15min break activities) and apply it to a normal co-working or co-living space. The concept is open source and everyone is free to play with it :)

The dialogue is about energy sources, but that's irrelevant when there are whole lines of economic activity that consume very little energy. A service economy can deliver economic growth while energy consumption falls.

This whole dialogue is utterly wrong-headed, and I don't for a second believe that that economist is a real economist.
Interactive plotting for Julia (Immerse)
In anticipation of the upcoming release of julia-0.4, a just-released graphics package brings users of the Julia programming language a new level of interactive plotting. It combines a sophisticated plotting package (Gadfly) with the GUI capabilities of Gtk, and implements features like panning, zooming, hit-testing, and lasso selection of data points. Users can define custom callback functions that operate in response to user mouse clicks and keyboard commands to facilitate data exploration.

> Both cursors and Relay involve syncing a "database" to a declarative view object

A cursor is something that implements the atom interface, and refine [1]. What does this have to do with databases and declarative view objects?

It would make sense if GraphQL/Relay were used to sync backend state to browser state, and then cursors are used to sync browser state to a view, but here, cursors are still part of the picture! Or is it that components will directly sync with the server, so no mechanism to sync browser-state to a view is necessary? What about application/UI state that doesn't exist on a server?

[1] From the OM wiki:

"In Om, you keep all your application state in a single atom (the root atom). Components, however, generally do not care about the entire scope of the application state, but focus on specific parts of it.

"Cursors are Om's way to manage a component's focus on just the state data that it needs to operate. Cursors split one big mutable atom into smaller sub-atoms that remain in-sync with the state held in the root atom. Cursors keep a path to the data within the root atom that the component needs to deal with. Sub-cursors are produced by refining the path."
Having been to the BM, I can't help but think this is pretty accurate. Still an experience worth paying for, though. In fact, for a student like myself, it might have turned out cheaper than the computer I'm typing this onto.

I'm thankful to always be able to get a picture with my phone, as I'm not always going to lug around my DSLR all day. I'm also thankful it can do certain dark-area shots better than my DSLR(my iPhone is f/2.2 and my kit lens is f/3.5). But without the ability to go full manual and keep the shutter open among other settings for beautiful night time shots, or to switch up a lens and capture something from far-out with my 300mm telephoto, there's no way I'm giving up my DSLR.

It's covered by the GNU C computed goto, maybe, not the static ISO C goto.

longjmp is a computed goto; it goes wherever the jmp_buf's run-time contents indicate.

This is not only academic; this use case occurs in exception handling based on setjmp/longjmp, when a "finally" type cleanup block catches an exception, and the throw originates from the same function (the "finally" block's corresponding "try").

No, forgetsusername has me exactly right.

My point is that he didn't earn anything. He was given something worth €3000 after performing assorted actions. But earning is about an exchange of value. He did nothing valuable for Avis; he instead wasted their time and resources.

He only earned this money to the extent that pickpockets earn what they take out of wallets, or what con artists take from their victims. Sure, they work hard, and sure, they get money from it. That's not earning, that's taking.
As far as I can tell this is a completely unsolved problem. Reddit has the same issue, and now Super Mario Maker on the Wii U has the same problem. Anytime there's a plethora of content and it relies on user interaction to bubble up, a lot of good content is missed.

If manipulation was already happening how could he suddenly be the linchpin? Wouldn't it make more sense that he was one of many who paid to manipulate the rate and profit?

How to Get More Google Love with Searcher Intent
I think that you are right about the price of art, but maybe not about craft. I don't have the time or inclination to design and letterpress my own stationary, but someone with the right equipment and skills can produce something far more distinctive than Crane's mass-produced items, for not a huge amount of effort. There's value in that.

I think there's also a role for an artisinal marketplace that's an outlet for people's hobbies. I sometimes play with a concert band that plays basically for free. 35 people rehearse a few times and show up on a Saturday morning to play for 90 minutes for $50. People do it because the process of production is pleasurable. If someone wants to throw a few bucks our way, great. People who really like making quilts need a similar outlet.

Show HN: Picks – A list app for movies, restaurants, books, games, and more
If you think the artist has rights to a book with a Warner Bros logo on the side -- well, as an artist myself I sure wish I lived in your reality.

OF COURSE he doesn't have a problem with it. It benefits him. That's not the issue here at all.

Once this hits Reddit I'm pretty sure it won't be on Facebook for much longer.
I'm Joe, I'm the co-founder of Picks. Picks is a list app for movies, restaurants, books, games, music, podcasts, and more coming soon. It's got a ton of rich content, reviews, maps and menus, trailers, descriptions, and a whole lot more. As you use Picks, we're trying to learn about your tastes, so we can send recommendations to you of new things to try.

Recently we've added some great discovery features, bubbling up content that's popular, to try and give you ideas of great things you can be doing.

Sure. Although I'm specifically talking about sitting together listening to meditation talks, for example one about "being infinity." That sounds kind of trippy, and not like something I'd normally tune into right before going to work, but that's just my preference. Maybe it's just that I'm an awkward guy? A bunch of people upvoted my comment, seemingly in agreement, so presumably at least some subset of the Hacker News community is awkward in this way. I did sort of get the feeling that the Hoffice "spirit" catered to a type of extraversion that I don't have, for example I stay away from anything that involves "fun group activities" and massages from strangers. I still like to hang around people, drink coffee, talk about stuff, work. So it's not that I have "zero tolerance for cultural interaction."
After a brief stint as an photojournalist when I was younger, leaving that behind to eventually work at Google, my budget recently allowed me to pick up a Leica X.

I never really expected to love photography again, until I had the chance to use one of these. Its everything a phone isnt... purpose-made, focused with extremely high quality image reproduction.

Photography as a documentation process (I was here with these people) will probably be completely taken over by the phone. But photography as a hobby or a form of craftsmanship will never be taken over by the phone. Its a joy to use a custom tool like the X -- and Leica is now making a great deal of profit by selling the 'opposite of a phone camera' to millions of people wanting one.

The new Leica Q waiting list is months long and the vast majority of the buyers are likely not professionals. Leica has uncovered for now, a lot of people who don't want to use phones.

Well yes, the JavaScript is not converted into Objective C, it is bundled into the app bundle that you submit to the App Store. I guess it depends on whether you consider the ultimate bundling of the application to be compiling.

Anyway, the point is that it doesn't run in a WebView. The JavaScript is executed by JavaScriptCore.

Lenses have published MTF specs which you can fudge into optical resolution specs. It's a bit subjective, but it works. (MTF curves carry a lot of information, and squashing it into a single lp/mm resolution means drawing a cutoff line on a graph which is inherently curved.) Sometimes you publish a couple different resolution values, for different contrasts. The actual MTF curves are more objective and directly reflect system measurements, which is why those are the ones published, instead of resolution specs which are easier to interpret. You can do the tests yourself at home fairly easily.

Science can devise solutions to problems like Parkinson's, eventually. The article discusses a few items in the current search-- a good start.

If you want better results than an amorphous "someday", you're not gonna get it with our society's current level of engagement with science. Science isn't lucrative, and the public doesn't care about anything other than the usually overstated "breakthrough" headlines.

You want diseases to be cured? Make science a priority rather than something extraneous. Get the children and the public excited about science again, then try to steal smart and qualified people from other disciplines with outstanding benefits and hard problems. Make sure there's enough patience and funding (in that order!) to really delve into things.
Sure, but that works in reverse. People could easily port their code TO iOS.
As someone who came from other country, I'm shocked in how easy it is to get a driver license in US. I know a lot of people getting a driver license with less than 20 hours behind the wheel.

I can't believe there're still states out there allow hand hold devices when driving, even text and drive.

>Gattaca was specifically about genetic testing.

If that's how you read/watch science fiction, you're wasting your time. Gattaca and Brave New World are dystopian stories. Dystopias are not meant to precisely predict the future. They are mean to show how the future will look like if certain conditions are met. The overall reasoning matters far more than specifics.

The overall reasoning in Gattaca looks solid. And we're nowhere near the level of genetic testing/engineering technology shown in the movie. But we're getting there.

>Government involvement in the entire population taking such drugs is a crucial and explicit element of the BNW dystopia.

Where was this government involvement described?

I don't recall the book explicitly speaking about government involvement with Soma at all, aside from the implication that government approved of it. FDA approves all the anti-depressants and painkillers as well. So?

Do they allow the commonplace idiom of casting objects to void* and then back to the original type? (That is allowed by the standard)

And do they allow "overlay" casting where multiple structs are used to access the same memory region? This is used in the POSIX networking API for instance (and isn't that rare besides -- the alternatives is unions but that has the disadventage of closedness -- you can't add new variants).
TED, David Rothkopf: How Fear Drives American Politics
I'm curious to know how complex your React app is.

I'm just starting to integrate Redux (and possibly Immutable) into my app, and initially I'm a bit surprised by how Redux can make simple things much more complex. I'm hoping it will pay off by end up simplifying complex things down the road.

In any case, it feels like we're currently at the "peak of inflated expectations" with respect to React and Flux/Redux.
Which is unlike using Ionic Framework, where I've gotten about 98% code reuse between platforms.

The only place that I usually end up making platform-specific changes is where Ionic has an iOS-specific layout change that breaks the look of a custom component on iOS. That and sometimes native-only features like Push Notifications that need to be handled slightly differently on each platform. But the latter is about a half dozen lines of stock code that take the iOS result and hand it to a common handler.

I'm probably sticking with Ionic for now, though I'm planning to try out Meteor for my next project that has backend requirements. Meteor can install the Ionic SCSS as a plug-in, so you CAN get the best of both worlds.

You don't. Ix is not Open-source. Sprunge (an alternative) is, but I never found it to be very simple. This is one of the things I so love about pb (see my other comment ITT).
Agree completely. But photography has a strong nostalgia quotient with old gear. A 40-year-old Hasselblad that takes amazing photos, and is worth more than it was 10 years ago.

What's also happening is that DSLRs are taking market share from even more high-end pro cameras (Leica, Hasselblad digital) and video cameras due to their more approachable form factor. So "good enough" can cut both ways (though the loss from the hobbyist market dropping out is far bigger than the gain from the high-end).
Fair enough, and in other cases I could see this as being an issue (particularly with smaller businesses perhaps where employees may identify more strongly with their company and its success), but in this case I just don't see it happening. As I said it doesn't really make sense at a company level, and on a personal level who would be the one motivated to punish these customers in such a way? It seems the onus would be on some individual(s) in the ticketing system to "Hey, that's one of those jerks from that lawsuit! I'll teach them to cause trouble with my company." That just doesn't seem likely to me.
hmm; "[citation needed]", although I've already found something via Wikipedia:

"[...] Knuth definitely wrote most of the code himself, at least for
the Metafont re-write, for which I have pesonal knowledge. However,
some of his students (such as Michael Plass and John Hobby) did work
on the algorithms used in TeX and Metafont. He also did have a
programmer (David something) working for him at one point, but not
as I recall at the time of the Metafont re-write."

That said, some solid source on the earliest phases, as well as on particulars of the specific "algorithms", would be nice to learn.
I was unable to find it. Although I did find a number of songs where the artist had to tell people what it was about because they were misinterpreted. :) Same thing, slightly different scenarios.

I'm not sure what you're responding to, because your comment is a non-sequitur.

I didn't say it was posted because José Luis García-López gave permission, I noted that he had a relationship with DC, and it was possible it was posted with permission, and by that I meant permission from the rights holder. Additionally, if he drew much or all of the book, which I have no information on, who is to say he did not retain some rights to use those images? There are scenarios where this is not an illegal act, just as there are scenarios where it is.

Again, do you have any actual info on this situation, or are you just making assumptions and getting worked up without any?
