Here's a simple counter-example. You're an e-commerce company, and in year 1, you can choose which js events/hits to track. For the sake of simplicity (and perhaps because prompted to do so by the Google Analytics tutorial) you only track product views (i.e. loading a product page) and conversions.

In year 5, you now process 5,000 or 50,000 orders a day, and you're wondering what the click through rate of your products is when they come up in a search. That's your "question", which will help you figure out which 100 of the 100,000 products you stock your customer will be interested in (because it's 10x as much data as conversion rate).

Guess what, those who installed Piwik and tracked the "impression" event/hit can now immediately play with it. You on the other hand have to start tracking it now and just missed on 5 years of data to explore which brands your customers like for example.

It wouldn't have cost you much to track everything - maybe $1-10k/year for an AWS server to host the Piwik database (it's a bit costlier if you're with Google - $150,000/year for Google Analytics Premium + $15,000/year for BigQuery to be able to query the hit IDs, and only starts tracking on the day you activate it).
Which would be fine for the employee, since then he would spend like 30 minutes of his own time to come to the office, and then additional 2 hours of paid company time while traveling to the client. Before his regulations, the employee would need to spend 2 hours of his own time while going to the client without ever being reimbursed.

I do not seem to see the distinction you are trying to make. The fact that the former is available is a direct result of the latter; you _need_ to declare the dependencies somewhere in order to have an easy UX of `npm install foo`.

Where I do agree is that the maven UX is nowhere near as easy to use, but lately I have been using it over the Clojure facade and its been quite nice.
The wikipedia article is a bit thin on details - for example are they claiming their compilation is a new copyright (it most likely is) or are they claiming their individual scans of historic works each are copyright to them?

Is there a proper English language discussion of any court case in which this has been tested for this particular claim?

For reference this http://www.jcms-journal.com/articles/10.5334/jcms.1021217/ is quite a good review of the NPG vs Coetzee non-case [English law] and the Bridgeman vs Corel case [USA law].
Well you also had Apple's Object Pascal as the original OS system programming language, which was the inspiration for the OOP approach Turbo Pascal adopted.

With that one, you could surely do graphics programming on the Mac.

As for Turbo Pascal itself, I wasn't aware it was available on the Mac as well.

It does end up saving me a good hour on getting a new game prototyped.

Hm, I don't think you can say that an optional, third party library is a "part of a language". Each language has a some standard library, which can be considered "part of a language", but other libraries shouldn't be. This way you could say that all npm, pypi and gem packages are part of the relevant languages.

Other than this, however, it's a good example.
From memory, when you create an ElastiCache cluster, you have to choose whether it's memcache or redis. It's really just a very thin wrapper around them running EC2 instances in your VPC which are running either memcache or redis.

Due to family reason I had worked in China for sometime and had my fair share of tax ahem 'optimization' experience.

Absolutely, it took a long time until the games I made on my Amiga could be replicated on the PC. But by the time I was moving away from Amiga, it was clear that its time had passed.
So, if I understand this right, you're getting really really worked up at a slightly tongue-in-cheek post that tries to explain AWS in a way that's relateable to a lot of programmers. And you're upset because the words used in this post, which is about explaining Amazon's services to people who are familiar with similar services, wouldn't be a wise choice for Amazon to actually use, since it's too familiar with their competition?

That seems silly, and kind of missing the entire point of this submission. I haven't used any of Amazon's services, so having something to translate back to things I can understand was really helpful, and I feel like I have a much better idea of what Amazon offers.
And your inability to make an argument of any kind has also been duly noted.

Did you actually read the RatWiki page? It lists a bunch of cherry picked facts about his views along with some snarky commentary. Wow! Really powerful stuff there.
I built https://info-beamer.com. It started as an open source project to easily build an animated info screen for a conference using a simple Lua API. Since then I ported the software to the Raspberry PI (https://info-beamer.com/pi) and built a hosted service (https://info-beamer.com/hosted) around it. Today you can either purchase licenses for the PI version and build everything around it yourself. Or you can just download a prepared minimal distribution, unzip it to an SD card and instantly control your display(s) remotely.

I have multiple companies that build products based on the software: From advertisement displays to complete purchasable hardware showing weather, RSS and images. On top of that I provide consulting for custom visualizations.

It's a really fun and challenging project since it consists of low level C/OpenGL/OMX programming, building a custom PI linux distribution and running a quite complex website.

New Endurance L-Cheapo 3.5 watt (3500 mW) diode laser is ready for shipment
A year ago, L-Cheapo was developed to provide an open-hardware solution to laser cutting. The L-Cheapo Mark 1 hit 300% of its crowdfunding goal and was delivered faster than most crowdfunded projects in the same category.
link: http://igg.me/at/minilaser/ note Mark 1 looks very different.

Earlier this year, we have made new models of Endurance L-Cheapo.
The actual board revision is 2.4 (Mark 2 and Mark 3 use the same board: Mark 3 has more resistors, a bigger diode, and a bigger transistor, but the same PCB, and a refined design allowing to turn most of 3D printers into a hybrid tool that can not only engrave but also cut wood, plastic and leather.

We introduce Endurance L-Cheapo Mark 3. It fits in the same footprint as Mark 2, looks suspiciously like Mark 2, and is wired in the exactly the same way as Mark 2...
This is not about the same product in a smaller case for a higher price. Mark 3 outputs 70% more photons than its predecessor, resulting in fewer passes and deeper cuts. At 3.5 watts optical continuous output, it's the strongest solid-state cutting laser kit currently available.

Both Endurance L-Cheapo Mark 2 and Endurance L-Cheapo Mark 3 are now available with an optional PWM connector that lets you control the output via any logic-level pin, from 15% to 100% (if for some reason, such as engraving grayscale images, you need less laser power).

Endurance L-Cheapo Mark 2 MSRP = $195
Endurance L-Cheapo Mark 3 MSRP = $295

Capsule has a caplet called Shield[1] which is much better than Docker for JVM applications. It creates an unprivileged container, doesn't require building an image (still shipped as a JAR), and in a week or so it will also automatically handle piping logging and JMX monitoring out of the container.

The NASA is very big, they went to the Moon but they also published the infamous arsenic life paper ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFAJ-1#Biochemistry ).

In a "massless" thruster, the theoretical maximum Thrust/Power ratio is 1/c = 0.0033 mN/KW if you don't want to break the conservation of momentum, special relativity or quantum mechanics. You could get this value with an ideal perfectly efficient laser beam. The latest NASA version proclaims (50 uN / 50 W) = 1 mN/KW that is 300x the theoretical maximum, so if it's not an experimental error, it must be breaking some of the currently supposed physic laws.

Oh well, I heard you and you should check what we do. It looks like this:http://www.feedsapi.com will make your life with RSS nicer and should improve your user experience with RSS. Here are some of the things you can do: Turn those shortened rss feeds into full Text rss feeds, curate your feeds with keywords tomonly get what you really care about, curate your feeds with a more complex filter structure using RegEx, get your feeds items to be delivered everywhere in any format (htmk, txt, pdf, word...) and in full lenght ! 50 sites is a lot... And you may not need to read all of those feeds items so curation makes sense in this specific case.

I hope this helps.

Yesterday an all-female squad dominated their traditional all-male counterparts in everything except for the wall climb. With the on-going shortage of tactically relevant walls to climb in Iraq, we may start to see more female only units leading the way.

I've found that nearly any use-case of AWS is like "stacking cash on the sidewalk and lighting it on fire". It's very overpriced and there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved in figuring out how much you're paying.

Lovely, but my favorite is http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-Living-Through-a-Coup reportedly from a person who's survived quite a few back in the day.

"Has your country's dictator been overthrown? Did he seem fatherly and protective or just overbearing and threatening? Are you feeling confused as to what to feel? Have you exchanged one bad situation for another? Has the military decided they know better how to run things? If any of these things apply to you, you'll find yourself in a country in turmoil and it's time to think about your immediate survival needs."

It contains plenty of seasoned, golden advice, eg.

"Don't panic. The worst thing to do in any situation is to panic."

As well as some useful guidelines on how to deal with harsh political reality of a revolution:

"If there are more than one party up for vote, request time with them to see what they believe in. Pick the one that more closely fits with your values."

Given that, around here anyway, solar powered "night lights" for use outdoors are very prevalent and only set you back about a dollar a piece... $5 certainly seems very possible.

Now these lights I'm talking about are really quite dim (and omni-directional), but they really are disgustingly cheap as well.

A product designed to be of practical use rather than almost purely for decoration, and at 5x the price point, would most likely fare a lot better.

Edit: Would "likely" fare better? Obviously it does. I seem to have lost track of the point I was trying to make, namely the price. XD

The article's headline is not in line with the ruling of course, but it's not even what most people in this thread are assuming. The ECJ's rulings are to be interpreted very narrowly. In this specific circumstance, the company closed an office after which people had longer commutes. So this ruling in no shape or form means that people who took a job with a certain commute now all of a sudden will be paid for that commute! It's only the people where, through the choice of the employer, the commute has become longer, who can use this as a precedent. Precedent case facts matter a lot!
It took me forever to understand what each services aim to do. Like I could have literally been a better programmer by spending all the time learning algorithms instead of figuring out what each of the aws services do. I wish I've had access to this post before.

Disagreeing isn't a reason to downvote.

Why not? There's no rule on HN against it, and the founder of HN thinks it's ok, since upvotes are used to indicate agreement.
IMO plain hitboxes are actually less cruel. Pixel perfect collision doesn't distinguish between solid parts of the object and things like cloth/hair/grass/feathers that would brush past without a real collision, or small loose items that would be knocked aside without the whole object catching. Hitboxes better represent these types of collisions, and you easily get a feel for where they are. Pixel perfect collision feels unfair when you collide on a single stray pixel.

Downvote for disagreement has a bit of history on HN.

Hi,

Long story short, I keep getting the run around from a freelance web development client and sometimes no response at all as to why my last invoice bill still has not been paid. Originally when we started working together we didn't sign any contractual agreement, just word of mouth and then I sent an invoice every month for billed work. I did get paid for a few months but then after that things went silent.

So what are my options now? I'd just like to get paid without having to pursue any sort of legal actions and put this behind me. But if legal action is needed what do I need to do?
Because Maven (the tool) offers XML as the language, we can put any other language atop it, e.g. with https://github.com/takari/polyglot-maven we can use Clojure, Groovy, Ruby, or Scala as the language. Gradle offers only Groovy, nothing else, so we don't have any choice over how to interact with the build API.
