It looks nice. But while making desktop work look like a science fiction movie means making work fun, but not necessarily useful in accomplishing a task more effectively, sometimes it means the opposite.
I think Terminology augmented with non-distracting custom animated background, soundscapes (generated with nodal or noatikl), leds or ambient lightning designed to enhance specific autodetected tasks based on issue type (bug fixing, adding feature, writing documentation, writing e-mails etc) similar to mindmachines with either a touch or a gesture oriented interface within an AR or VR context including tactile and haptic feedback.
Typing can be done with a chording interface on a ergonomic keyboard layout, either braille, stenoknight or regular dvorak (with the letter I and U switched) - or mapped to a 10 or 25 switch operated by gestures, brainwaves (openeeg, neurosky or emotiv devices) or gloves.

The output would be multi-modal, text to speeching the output on demand with specific key or voice bindings and default using a narrow Braille font so the display could be simultanously felt and seen (with contrast) or for example OLED coated braille pins. In this way also blind people can use the setup. For a general idea: http://www.tactisplay.com/product/tactisplay-table
This, so much this!

It's amazing how fast you can go from "that guy with the curious hobby" to "some guy that naturally also owns and uses a computer, as everyone else does".
1. There should definitely add different options, not only singing up with Google. What if I don't want to share my Google account?

2. Drop the "Are you sure you want to close this chat?". It's annoying and reminds me of Windows' stupid prompt dialogs.

3. CREATE AND MANAGE CAREER PAGES: "Brand" is an empty laptop screen. "Change" is some website and "Job" is about moving to a different place, which is so far, so you even have to fly there?

I actually had this exact thought. There's some good discussion on my UX StackExchange question about it:
http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/23462/why-dont-atms-gi...
The difference between web and app is trust.

A website has write access to my screen, my speakers and my internet connection. Plus limited read access. To keyboard, mouse, device orientation etc. Other rights can be granted (location, cookies etc). It can do all this only as long as it's "open".

An app usually has read/write access to large parts of my device. The whole sd-card, raw internet access, the camera, the microphone, ask me for money etc. And it can keep doing so even when it's "closed".

We will see the two converge. Websites will have more rights they can ask for. Apps will be better to tame.

But trust will keep being the differentiator and they will keep co-existing. There is friendship and there is marriage. Both have their use case.
It surprises me that a flattened out workflow like http://i.ytimg.com/vi/luu3_y2MWGQ/maxresdefault.jpg isn't widely used. There's a very strong 'default' use of an ATM, and the conventional workflow does not optimize for it at all.
Moving to a different country prompted me to sort through my tsundoku.

Unfortunately, I only removed about 5 books — ones I'd started, but didn't like and wouldn't finish. I could probably use your new word there.

The rest fitted in a medium-sized box, so didn't seem worth agonizing about when (a) the cost to add that to the shipment was marginal (b) I wasn't paying anyway.
Classcraft and Gameffective are both in that area.
Anything what use fingerprint or even face recognition are much more insecure as plain password, just because I can change password whenever I want, but I cant change my fingerprints and especially face.
I've never heard that word before in my life. Will add!

Maybe that's the point!
The most conformist tendency I've noticed on the planet is this: that every single person on it considers himself a nonconformist.

Most of us just congratulate ourselves on our nonconformist privately though, not publically, like this guy.
But generally the negative effect will be lower: You'll lose your money if there are people coming after you that are dishonest enough to take the money only. Otherwise it'll get pulled back in. You'll still have your card.
How exactly is this guy a non-conformist more than anyone else? Not liking sport at school?
According to Cyph0n, they are using a Windows 7 image, which is also not a RTOS. Can just as well use Linux in this case.
Don't forget the fee they take if your account and the money you withdraw are different currencies. ;)
Typed azure, got no result either.
This guy sounds less like a non-conformist and more like a really self-centred sociopath. I don't necessarily say that in a derogatory way though, and most of his advice, if pragmatic, sounds unsurprising. I think it boils down to "don't be a tool to other people's faces".

I mean wow, this quote: "Treat your family fairly, but remember that relatives - especially older relatives - are the lords of empty threats. Despite all their criticism, they probably love you too much to do more than nag you." One would think he's doing a hostile takeover of a company!

This is a startup, the application is not open source but everything we use is. We are building on the Microsoft stack, which might make it uninteresting for most of the HN crowd. Our main framework components are Orleans, Nancy, SignalR, Knockout.js and Xamarin. I think one could get the same results using Akka, express, socket.io, flux and React (or Ionic with angular)

It's pretty great that this happened. I'm so sick of using these pesky desktop applications. Just remind me, which web apps can I use for the following?

-Audio production

-3D animation

-Video editing

-CAD design

-Writing/debugging software
I expected something that would extract a color off Google Images in the background.
You could try to automate, get some images from a search engine for given phrase and try to average the color.

I would probably do an average and then for each image cut off say 20% colors that are most away from the average, and then average that.
This incident happened to my grandfather in France 30 years ago (mid 80s), at an ATM using "Flow B". A few months later the ATM was changed to use "Flow A" instead and I have never used a single ATM using "Flow B" since I have been in age of using a credit card myself.

I'm really puzzled that someone is still designing "Flow B" type ATMs these days (unless its a 80s model that they bought at a yard sale...).
Yes, multiple (trans)actions in one session are a use case where it would make sense to keep the card until the end. I'd say it would still make sense to return the card before the cash and have the user insert it again - a small inconvenience for the few users that want to do multiple actions but probably a big decline in forgotten cards.
I remember taking lots of tests when I was a little kid to get into gifted and talented education programs (which I thought were great and led to lots of friends and interesting cultural experiences). But having kids take these tests in the first place seemed to be a very middle-class kind of thing.
I've worked off and on remotely for decades. Most day to day work can be handled adequately by email and Skype. What's missing are the camaraderie you get from going out to lunch with colleagues, bull sessions, friendships, etc., which are important for building a team.
I'd guess that because it was a bugfix by google - people might assume it was something to do with chrome or android, when it should help any webuser that talks to a linux based server, including firefox users.
The iPhone keyboard famously are not very good. So are older phones.

The newer android phone have amazing responsive. I sometimes use my phone to actually write presentation speech. Something I though I would never do with my older android phones.
tl;dr: choose your battles; work hard; kiss ass. Doesn't feel very non-conformist to me. However i do like his appreciation of the role of luck, although even that was cursory. All a bit self-congratulatory, and not much to surprise.
You know I wonder if in the long term if blocking ads may improve the open web experience vs. native apps which may become cluttered with ads?
I'm sure there are people who arrived at work one day and only then noticed they had forgotten to put on pants, but I guess quite a lot more forget their wallet or cell phone. ;)
Strictly speaking, it can't be too bad, since it would immediately stand out if Linux boxes have decreased network performance in a mixed shop. Maybe a few percent in the average case, with maybe some specialized applications more affected.

That's a cool idea, though I don't know any search engine APIs that don't have a ton of restrictions on them. Google used to have a wonderful image search API, but it's either deprecated/discontinued by now.

I'll keep looking around, though.
Google has some famously challenging decisions to make about software for self-driving cars (like real-life versions of trolley problems, where the car has to choose between hitting one person or another person). It seems home robot developers will also have some challenging decisions about how robots should react to sexual situations. Whatever decisions they make may disturb or upset some customers.

Robot makers could also face a challenge about discreetly conveying to customers whether (or how) a robot can be used for sexual purposes, without upsetting other users who don't like the idea.
I guess that's what they're switching from. It seemed to work fine for them, especially since most reporting can be done using MS Office, which everyone is familiar with. Maybe it's getting expensive to support, given how many licenses they need?

Yeah, the technology is insane. I'll give you an example of what I mean by that.

Think of this situation: all of the parts of the drill string that contain the sensors that provide real-time environment conditions AND control the direction of drilling are, say, 3 km underground. How the hell do you send movement commands or receive sensor data? It's not practical to extend a wire for that distance. Wireless communication is unreliable at best underground. More importantly, how do you provide power to these tools?

Luckily for them, mud is continually pumped through the drill string for many reasons, including cooling the drill bit and breaking down the formation. So they used that mud to communicate and transfer power.

The general idea is to vary the flow rate on the surface to transmit binary information. To send data upwards, the mud flow is blocked and unblocked, and the pressure change is detected on the surface. It's pretty fascinating stuff!
Thank god. I clicked through and saw WaPo's actual headline... unbelievable. Even reputable media companies (for whatever value of "reputable" you give WaPo) are succumbing to this garbage. Thanks for fighting the good fight.
For years it has been obvious that the web would beat apps in aggregate, but apps would have better engagement. If you wrap your website in an app using ionic and treat it like a standard site no one will use it. While soneon has noted trust (which is true) it is also fir convenience. The browser is a great app and can run many apps in parralel while quickly shifting between them, it is CONVENIENCE as mych as trust.

If your app does mot extensively make use of the hardware and can be run as a website, it has no business being an app. This is obvious, being proved now, and the app craze will pivot from shit-tier websites in iOS clothing to things that add real value and interface directly with the phones hardware because they need to provide security, access to a protocol, or leverage hatdware (accelerometer, camera, Bluetooth, etc)

If they are writing their software using .NET then windows would seem to be obvious choice (for now).
Éric Dumazet (author of the patch) is this highly productive guy working on network latency issues. He helped get CoDel into the kernel, and worked on TCP small queues (https://lwn.net/Articles/507065/) and the fair queue scheduler (https://lwn.net/Articles/564978/). Looking at the email addresses he used, I think he started working on the network stack on his spare time, while employed at SFR, a French telco. He implemented an in-kernel JIT for BPF (https://lwn.net/Articles/437981/), speeding up packet filtering; now that BPF is fast it is also used for performance profiling (filtering and aggregating in kernel) and syscall filtering.

There are of course others working in these areas, but I think Google has been going after them: Van Jacobson is a high-profile example. Dave Taht is still subsiding on ramen though (https://www.patreon.com/dtaht).
Those are all very specialised types of apps for content creation. If those are the only examples that came to your mind, you pretty much proved the point.

I am not helping it, even though I sometimes work as web dev.

For anything that's processor intensive it's clear that apps will win, but flipping that think about the classic office bundle and how google moved that to the browser:

- Email

- Word Processing

- Spreadsheets

- Slideshows
Check a very simple one http://output.jsbin.com/vufetemozi
Also VLC player.

The thing is all those things will eventually migrate to the web. Right now the web has so much potential and those pieces of software have a small market and that market is pretty saturated.

Once we do everything we can do with the web then we will move into domains that have incumbents

I would say Facebook is much more useful to society then Audio Production.
That was the plan at first, but I wanted even oddly specific requests to return something somewhat reasonable, so I went with a word analysis method that associates certain words with filters that are added from right to left.

Not nearly as neat or all-encompassing as something like what you describe, but it does allow me a bit more control over how different words affect the output.

JIRA costs $20k for an organization with 2000 programmers. How much custom development can you fund with that amount? If your programmers earn $100k/y (fully-loaded!), you can't even afford 3 man-months.
So, you really believe that nobody, other than the use cases above, use native software? I only listed the software categories which I personally use...
The yellow-diamond example follows American/Australian road signs, where that means "warning" (if it's that consistent?).

In Europe, and much of the rest of the world, an ISO-derived sign would be a black shark in a black-bordered yellow triangle. These are most commonly seen, worldwide, as a lightning bolt on an electricity pole.

The system usees colour and shape to distinguish between warnings (black-bordered yellow triangles), positive orders (blue circles), negative orders (red-bordered white circles) and safety/evacuation (green rectangles).

The Vienna system for traffic signs, used by over half the world, is similar, except warnings are red-bordered triangles.

That, at least, means "no cycling", "cycle path" and "warning: cyclists", or "wear ear protection" and "do not wear ear protection" reuse the same symbol on a different coloured/shaped sign.
Ironic that every author pic on that site seems to show at least a dress shirt, and commonly a suit. (I'm sure it looks nice, but such clothing undeniably is used to signal conformity, and these authors conform to a dress code.)

Then, "Most workplaces are not democracies. This is very good news..." advising: "make yourself invaluable to key superiors, who will in turn protect and promote you" and "Spend the first year of any job convincing your employer he was right to hire you..."

(He's right, workplaces are unusually totalitarian: top-down dominance structures. Hence advice to pleasure your boss.)

These right-wing "libertarians" are conformists. To recruit, they clumsily imitate social justice movements (like anarchism) where people actually do challenge the status quo. Their arguments against democracy rely on misconceptions like "US is a democracy"; or "democracy=voting", instead of say consensus.

Isn't it because the browser loads user interface and code all the time (sure, there's caching, but still), while apps only load data?
Usually such German cards use the Visa/Mastercard foreign exchange rate for ATM transactions (no extra fee) and POS transactions (plus currency conversion fee, but no additional fee for using abroad).
Oh, I see. I thought cross multiplying was referring to what you do in order to add or subtract two fractions with different denominators. Should have just looked it up.

The failing here is that you don't understand why you get the right answer here.

By 'you' you mean the putative student mislead by shortcuts, right? I understand perfectly well what's happening with reciprocal multiplication and why it works. ;)
How would that work with modern chip-based cards? As far as I know, you cannot complete the payment at all if the chip is not available.
Pachers kill elephants that had their tusks cut off already, to extract the tiny last bit of ivory remaining in their skulls. That's why strategies of cutting tusks off regular elephants and destroying them were unsuccessful - if anything, they made poachers more aggressive, since now they had to kill more elephants to get any amount of ivory at all.
Too bad he's been barely working on it. I must say, it also looks very impressive... but will it ever get pass the demo stage?
That... or maybe it could remove all professional content from the open web, and make it some kind of ghetto for those who can't pay for apps. I honestly don't know.

David is a great guy. Before Dothraki and his other languages for hire, I exchanged emails with him and he gave me a bunch of advice on my own constructed languages.
"Everyone" seems to feel like phones are distractibg additions to face to face communication. " Eveyone" admits to using their phone at social engagements. Good or bad, this behavior wasn't curbed fast enough (if that was even possible) and devices will forever be a second appendage until literally these devices become appendages.
Imperfect 'Best Practices'
I don't think "bug" is a very well-defined term. It seemingly encompasses most software imperfections. I guess people will generally characterize things based on their overall (negative) impact.
Just quickly skimmed a bit of the book, but I have never seen or heard any of those tricks (German here) with the exception of the formula triangle (still have that in mind for Ohm's law). That being said, I mainly need it for remembering the relationship and have no trouble solving the formula for a different quantity.
At Orsha, the nickname “Ramp Tramp” puzzled many Soviet pilots and engineers, even those familiar with English. One rough translation offered was “Unshaven Vagabond,” which still baffled Soviet airmen.

It puzzles me, and English is my first language! What does it mean?

Great idea. I only speak English and (some) German, but I'll see what I can do to accommodate color names in other popular languages.
Yes, I saw the stock photo with the suit/tie. But then the text does mention shorts/pumps. So I imagine that the stock photo is an example of conforming in small details.

A quick idea to improve coverage using word vectors, with my NLP library spaCy ( http://spacy.io ):

Example output:

I thought it'd be fun to see whether I could get the shade of the color from the vectors, but so far no luck. Probably vectors trained for image captioning would work, though.

I've come to exactly that conclusion about my family. I love them but frankly their concern for me translates into very little benefit for anyone. Also their criticisms were largely born of themselves and served primarily to limit me.
I find being able to pay (even below market) salaries is really required for longer term project. People on profit share will usually not treat your project as more than a hobby, and at some point life happens- spouse gets sick, a parent dies, money problems, stress at the day job, etc.

At that point the first thing that gets cut is the hobby.
Interesting. I would have thought that Excel formulas would be relatively easy to parse, but they with things like array formulas, etc it could start to get a bit hairy.
