I don't remember the last time a new technology had such a vast distance between proofs-of-concept and widespread implementation as HTML5/WebGL. It's been years now of these amazing demos, and yet every single website I use in my daily life might as well be HTML4.

Of course, you can first write the query with CTEs, then convert to the nested form. It's just substitution.

Here's a secret. Apple has never designed truly wonderful user interaction. But they have been unafraid to say "no," less horrible than most others, and opinionated. These discussions don't benefit from a false narrative of them falling from a grace they never held. (Mac owner from plus to pad)
Top tales from tech support
* The power to shut down a business gives a regulator a lot of power to do things like improve safety. *

That can easily be done without the government provided monopoly of taxi medallions. Medallions (or any other form of monopoly granting) aren't required for regulation, enforcement, or any other aspect of keeping the public safe.
Great, and true, article—but interestingly, he's guilty of a similar thing: his CSS makes it impossible to tell visited vs. never-visited links.

> Another tempest in a teapot like when they integrated Pocket (right click > remove from toolbar takes 2 seconds)

Except all these things that take time to learn about and remove are starting to add up and ultimately end up taking far more than 2 seconds each.

Pocket should never have been bundled in the first place and should have continued to exist as an easily installable/uninstallable addon/extension. The Mozilla governance forum has over 20 pages of people complaining about Pocket bundle-ware and Mozilla continues to twiddle its thumb claiming "just 2 clicks to remove/we asked a few people and they don't mind it":

Thank you again, Pavornyoh, for taking out your precious time.

1. We help founders overcome the fear. There is a clear process.

2. By that , we mean following certain processes improves the success rate for startups. Successful entrepreneurs know these processes. And we teach first time entrepreneurs this process.

3. Entrepreneurs who are passionate about an idea face many problems. The first problem is :

i. They need a product but may not have the necessary tech skills. We fix this problem for them.

ii. Almost all failed startups have the product, but what they do not have are enough customers.
We guide entrepreneurs how to get customers.

We fix these 2 problems in the 40 days.

After these whenever startup achieves product/market fit and enters in the scale phase, we connect them with the relevant domain experts who will help them scale.

If the computer requires a password to log in, then just look for the right password from the keyboard on a restart, and at that time tell the user that this keyboard is new. Sure, it's possible for evil keyboards to do bad things, but at least the user would be aware that there is now a new HID plugged in.

You can do something like this with grsecurity. It's not a whitelist but you can deny any new usb devices after you toggle a switch:

If you say Y here, a new sysctl option with name "deny_new_usb"
will be created. Setting its value to 1 will prevent any new
USB devices from being recognized by the OS. Any attempted USB
device insertion will be logged. This option is intended to be
used against custom USB devices designed to exploit vulnerabilities
in various USB device drivers.

Ask HN: Dollar Shave Club for Printer Ink
So just saw this post on reddit about how much ink Epson printers waste: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3kipxd/how_much_ink_does_your_epson_9900_waste_xpost/

I've always thought that someone could make a killing if they made a name for themselves as a cheap reliable printer with low cost ink and promised not to sell out.

Anyone know of any startups pursuing this?

Would any such countermeasure really be worth it to use random 8GB USB drives from conferences? They are so cheap, and I have a hard time believing this would ever be better than simply not using these ever.
Imho, the problem is that flat design is intensely restrictive. Suddenly things that used to be available to freely design with have become UI cues... the designer can no longer play with color and layout and let the buttons stand out by button-bevel and the like... now the color and layout are part of the UI language.

Apple, being a design-oriented company, can't keep fiddling with individual app layouts, which means they can't work within the hyper-restrictive design language of flat.

Microsoft actually does much better with flat, I find, because I think there are less cooks in the "design" kitchen there.
Who says that a communication is magically "nullified" if it's ended disrespectfully? My expression of negativity and disrespect is just as valid - if not more so - than trying to conceal it in platitudes like you seem to be implying a preference for.

Most people writing Delphi code in 2015 do it to maintain legacy Windows desktop applications. I don't think you can do that with Go. The most logical replacement would still be C# (or another language running on .net) with WinRT (or more likely WPF: I mean if you are still using Delphi you are probably not using Windows 8/10...).

It's the application developer's responsibility to maintain compatibility. That's why Windows offers people dev preview builds.

That entirely depends on what your client library (http client in most cases) decides to do and whether the server sides plays well with persistent connection. TCP protocol itself has no concept of "a request" really. It's just a streaming data protocol in both directions.

Indiana farmland costs $4400/acre to buy, costs $160/acre-year to rent, and produces 150 corn bushels/acre-year or 50 soy bushels/acre-year. That sells for $3.50/corn bushel, and $9.00/soy bushel.

Doing the math, it's pretty easy to guess that all that midwestern land is probably owned by "rich people", too.

I put that in scare quotes because there is some element of circularity involved. If you own 120 acres of cornfields, you have over $500k worth of property. So do you own the land because you're rich, or are you rich because you own the land?
Yeah exactly, this has been out for a while. Not sure why this is on the front page of HN.

First I forgot to add I Xah Lee's ergo emacs was a valuable resource when learning Emacs. AFAIR it succintly explained emacs base abstractions.

Then again, 'in my mind', idiomatic elisp uses cl-lib :D. so (cl-incf total-count) would be better. snakeCase is unidiomatic as well.

The idea of an automated coach is quite interesting, however it would be a very involved effort to match the level of a human mentor that some of the expensive websites provide. Its nice that it suggests problems I should be solving and give hints based on time so I don't get stuck.

How is "Object Store" marketing bs? What is the proper term for an S3 object? It's not file, because file is a term that comes from the context of a filesystem, which is what S3 is not.

Read the S3 docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingObjects....

That is the technical term they've chosen to describe the key, its value, and all its associated metadata. As far as terms go, it's rather straightforward, in my opinion. They probably didn't use "file" because that usually implies a filesystem, which is specifically what S3 is not.

Also, go ahead and check out the history of the term "Object Store": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage

The thing was; it was a pretty clear pattern. I had good and bad science and math teachers, but even with the benefit of time and perspective, I don't hold most of the English ones in a very high regard, at least in terms of their teaching - many of them seemed to be perfectly kind and agreeable people.

One of the ones who was also held in fairly high regard in the school once got into 'time being relative', and trotted out, in the same sentence, something about experiments showing time being different at the poles and the equator, as well as something about time in "latin" cultures. That drove me up the wall!

It matters that robotics isn't making money yet. Google has a big automatic driving research operation, but to make money from it, they will have to get into the auto business in a big way. That's a huge, risky investment. Also, making cars has lower margins than search ads, which means Google's stock would go down if they did that. Google could become a parts supplier to Detroit, but that's not very profitable. All the big carmakers already have their own automatic driving systems. Cadillac has one developed with CMU which is almost as good as Google's. It's hard to see how Google turns automatic driving into a big moneymaker.

Google isn't a patient company. They kill off products and research that don't pay off within a few years. At some point, they may "put more wood behind fewer arrows" and dump automatic driving. They've done it before. Google hasn't historically spent big outside their core business area. Google Fiber is still just a few demos, and that's been going on for years now.

Uber is in a better position. They're in the transportation business. They're losing their labor lawsuits and will end up buying cars and hiring drivers. As a high-volume car buyer, they can get car companies to put their self-driving technology in the cars they buy. For Uber, automatic driving adds to the business model.

It's Postgres' Extension APIs. They enable you to extend, cooperate with, or override any database submodule's behavior without forking the database: https://goo.gl/rr2EIm

As an example, let's say you leveraged planner hooks to parallelize PostgreSQL queries. When a new feature such as JSONB gets checked into Postgres, it becomes immediately available for parallel querying.

To my knowledge, no other database provides the means to extend the database to such an extent. These APIs became official in PG 9.0, and two example links from the PostgreSQL documentation are:

Nice work! I first came across this concept a few years back when someone posted an instructable which I believe he was building a Magic mirror for his daughter [1]. I re-implemented the idea but with a spooky tone, ie. it is framed as a regular mirror in the living room and when a guest stares at it long enough, something spooky jumps into the view. This was done using a VGA monitor, camera and a netbox pc. It was a fun project. If I were to go at it again, I would just use a cheap android tablet solely based on price, simplicity and power consumption. Will also make it useful this time with display of data that interests me than a novelty toy.
