I've heard several explanations.

The negative explanation is that it degrades the recipient (i.e. women), adding to the sadist/misogynist aspect of heterosexual intercourse.

The pragmatic explanation is that it provides a visual cue for the viewer (particularly those who are more visually oriented) indicating the climax of the sexual act. If the orgasm were internal, it'd be hard to miss (though there's an entire niche for that, of course). As to why it's the face in particular: it's the easiest way to directly show the recipient's reaction at the same time, especially on low-resolution or small-scale displays (plus on those devices a close-up tends to be easier to recognize).

The psychological explanation has something to do with there being a long-standing trope of portraying cannibalism as the ultimate infatuation (e.g. the communion of the Holy Spirit in Christianity representing "becoming one with Jesus" by consuming his flesh and blood) and ejaculate representing the "essence" of the male orgasm (biologically speaking the entire "point" of sex is to put one person's sperm in the other person's body).

It may seem odd that there are people who are into the ejaculate itself but it's far more straightforward than a lot of other things some people enjoy (including pretty much everything else that can come out of a person's body, apparently non-sexual body parts and things that aren't even related to persons, or even BDSM which is so much about psychology it can get away without any actual intercourse taking place).

Gamedev has a special, and virulent, form of the same problem afflicting much of the tech industry.

Because the jobs pay well and considered to be desirable there's a huge mass of folks wanting into the industry. So as people burn out and as talent evaporates away to find better working conditions those folks are easily replaced. To the people who are "in the trenches" it becomes very obvious that this is a problem, because they see kids trying to walk around in big shoes and they know exactly why it's not as easy to get things done. This is a huge institutional drag on productivity, product quality, and development velocity, it's one reason why it's pretty common for games to be pretty shit quality when they launch. But because the connection between action and consequence is indirect and diffuse it's easy to avoid working out the cause. More so when there are strong institutional biases from the top down which hinge on distinctly avoiding the idea that burning through employees could be a problematic practice with major real-world consequences for studios and games.

You see the same thing in the rest of tech, though not generally as severe, and with some degree of awareness of it. Look at the way amazon treats devs, for example.
According to the US, yes. This is an empire, it's citizen have more rights than those of the colonies.
Parts of some large municipalities and hospitals (City of Gothemburg, for example) are trying it at a much larger scale than these companies, and the results will be much more interesting. It's still not widespread though.

Android Tutorial – Using Google Android Volley Library
It is quite interesting post. I have been working in a scenario where the company is moving out of traditional Oracle based BI stack and this post just highlights how opex for BI can be reduced drastically.
I just checked the CFA Institute website. They say you must have a "bachelor's (or equivalent) degree or be in the final year" of one OR four year work experience (in any field) OR combined education + work experience of four years.

I think what you are saying is true for using the designation (becoming a chartered holder)--you need to have the practical experience of four years.

A publisher should display the DOI on their landing page for the article, e.g. the top matter of http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.... . If you want to share a persistent link, you can.

In the context of scholarly articles, if you're reading an article, the references will be linked via DOI, e.g. here: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

Where this all gets interesting is non-traditional scholarship, e.g. sharing on social media where there are lots of 'publishers' (twitter, reddit) and they don't particularly care about best practice from the scholarly publishing industry. How do you get someone to share the persistent link? You can't force them. It's not a solved problem, and probably never will be.

Herbert Van de Sompel is working in this area http://public.lanl.gov/herbertv/home/ with things like canonical link headers that indicate the canonical URL of a given page.

Yep. Then I can paste it into Imgur, the GIMP or Twitter.
This reads like a paid-for press release. There's nothing substantial about the market, the competition, the context, or even the founder of the company.
Because publishers often change their systems, so links can break. URLs can also be very long and difficult to include in text documents. Some journals I've published in have moved between several publishers. The DOI is an identifier which is resolved to point to the current location of the document. The DOI is an object, not a location of an object, as described here http://www.doi.org/factsheets/DOIIdentifierSpecs.html
The concept of «assisting copyright infringement» is not popular among those who identify as hacker. So in current context your argument is moot.

Of course, «correct representation of authorship under the authors' choice of names and pseudonyms» is a concept used in copyright law with a better reputation, in that case your argument would fully apply, of course.

Right. The OS X image now has to contain a /usr/local directory so that it exists unrestricted after you install the OS (otherwise you would be unable to create it yourself, because /usr is restricted). It has to ship with some permissions, so it rightly ships owned by root. The installer will apply these permissions each time it runs.

Aside: I really wish Homebrew didn't encourage having a single user own /usr/local. If they're going to insist on never needing sudo to install things, it should just default to installing in your home directory.
Yes. Consumption is encouraged.
In Chicago a restaurant wanted to charge me a fee to share a meal with my partner. It was therefore cheaper by 1 dollar to buy an extra muffin nobody wanted to avoid the sharing fee than to just share what we actually wanted to eat.

Exactly. The audio sample on the page does exactly this. And yet, astonishingly, the author goes on to state:

"...these types of syllables, astonishingly, really do not contain any vowels, epenthetic or otherwise"

when in fact, there clearly is an epenthetic vowel after the s.
That explains the cheese and wine ads.
Perhaps they should consider adding an option to install something into launchd that just does this.

idem k mame - (I go) to (mom),

Only time when "k" changes into "ku" is if the next word start with k, g, q or x: ku Karolovi, ku Gustavovi, ku Quidovi, ku Xylofónu

It is not added to previous or next word, but if you speak fast it would sound like m'lady in english.

I don't have microphone here I'll check the waveform later.

Previous word ending has no effect whatsoever: zemiak k mäsu - potato to meat (although in this case with Assimilation it may be pronounced as "zemiak g mäsu" or "zemiak g'mäsu")
The first thing I did after the upgrade was disabling SIP. Now my system acts exactly the same way before with all the goodies (except rootless) el capitan has to offer.

Having root not able to write system stuff is good for people that like to blindly execute shell scripts from the internet but I think apple should add something that makes it easier for developers to disable it.

I don't know if there is a new method yet, but before you had to boot into recovery and execute `csrutil disable`. In the early days there was a boot flag you could set but that got removed quickly.
This study relies on the NHANES data which is self-reported: Respondents have to recall what they ate. So an alternative and more likely explanation is that people are far better at deluding themselves than they used to be.

Nothing about eye fatigue, but I forgot to have any potassium for a month (err, oops, I ate lots of veggies but no leafy greens!) and my BP shot up to something like 170/90. My doctor was concerned and also confused.

On the way out of her office I remembered I hadn't had any potassium for awhile, stopped by the grocery store, picked up some spinach, and a handful later (about a few minutes) the constant headache I'd had for a week straight went away.

So yeah, get your potassium in.
This is one of the reasons I love HN: a grapevine of important things to help developers fix their dev environments, security things we need to be aware of for our servers, new APIs to take advantage of, and other important stuff.

Epoh - Feedback needed
Hi, few months ago I started Epoh where users can share they thoughts through text and image, you can like, dislike, comment, tag users, follow, unfollow users and most importantly you can share your content anonymous to everyone and to the people that follows you.

I would like to ask you guys for some feedback on it, if you like the idea of it, would you ever use it, what can be improved, what can be added/removed and what should I do to attract more users to it.

I'm currently working an APP version for Android and IOS.

Precisely.

And because of that enthusiasm there's always someone else in the funnel if anyone burns out or leaves.

Also, because games are art the most successful franchises can get away with completely broken processes as long as it doesn't go over some threshold (which appears to be very high judging by the success of even very broken releases).
Magnesium is good. Potassium, I eat leafy greens or Ostrim (http://www.protos-inc.com/), which is low fat but has no carbs and lots of potassium. They also taste good, they are one of my after gym gotos.

My Theory About the Rate at Which Software Is Eating the World
To me, the fact that you are directed to install Homebrew to /usr/local is wrong since there's no guarantee how /usr/local is going to treated by Apple in the future and this is now an example of that. The only directory that Apple, probably, doesn't have control is your home directory.

I've been using homebrew for a long time without issues because, in my opinion, I installed it on ~/homebrew. I wonder why is that so difficult for others to use.

That's a good question. In reality whilst it's not too much work to make the editor function in a touch environment, I think there will be a lot of work in designing the UX for smaller screen touch devices - for example the floating toolbox really doesn't work on a mobile or smaller tablets.

It is a goal for the editor to support touch such devices but I wouldn't feel comfortable saying it's something that's likely to be supported soon as there are other tasks ahead of it (including completing the test suite and finishing some additional tutorials). Thanks for your interest.
How we measure the calorific value of food doesn't seem to give us the number of calories a body can extract from food.

There are several reasons for this. One promising area of research is gut flora. Someone could have a gut flora that makes it harder to absorb calories. Someone else could have a gut flora that makes it easier to absorb calories.

Here's one paper that links gut flora to anorexia. (Read carefully, they have human samples buried in there) http://www.nature.com/tp/journal/v4/n10/full/tp201498a.html

> Statements like these only help people who have weight-problems to have an excuse not to do anything about it.

No. Statements like this are an effort to help fat people to lose weight by creating treatments that work rather than just yelling judgemental but useless advice at them. "Eat less food" does not work on populations. "Exercise more" does not work across populations.

vaccionation is about public health. Certain diseases could reappear if you don't vaccinate, and you'd pass that onto other people.

It stops being a personal decision when it affects the health of others, and the state must intervene.
They seem to focus their campus recruitment events (http://www.deloitte.co.uk/aem/student-events-calendar.cfm) heavily towards the Russell Group universities (Oxbridge, London, Durham etc.)
If they want a more diverse talent pool, why don't they hold more events further afield?
It's not so much that they ignored it. It has been positive reinforcement for them that no matter what they do, they will never be held accountable.
Wow, thank you. It took that kind of crystal clear example for me to understand the risk clearly.
Your numbers are also false for motorcycles (which all run on gas and not diesel which is the subject of the conversation here). My BMW's 800cc rotax paralell twin does exactly that (4.5L cruising on the highway). Even the 1200cc boxer does that AFAIK.

Violating NDA/EULA terms result in repercussions — one it sounds like they were almost certain they would incur. Don't make this some facile argument about how "two wrongs don't make a right."

Also, your last statement makes absolutely no sense. "Just because they violated Apple's NDA/EULA terms does not entitle anyone else to violate theirs". Wut?
The problem is that many use Strong/Static and Weak/Dynamic as synonyms. Dynamically typed languages happen to often be weakly typed and statically typed languages happen to often be strongly typed. This is why you get people debating whether Python is "strong or dynamic" although that's a false dichotomy.

"yeah so in the two months leading up to RTM I might need ya'll to work until 10PM and occasionally another four or so hours on the weekend. I'll be taking dinner requests for weeknights and lunch requests on the weekend."

Tired developers write /shit/ code. Every time we end up in bug regression hell it is because we (as a team) panicked and fixed something with too little sleep and not enough critical thinking.

I put in 80hr weeks for a month one time. I wouldn't want to do it again. (I was hourly at a good rate, so I didn't mind crunch time for a month too much!)

The interview process is nice though. "So there may be an occasional 60 hour week, is that OK?" and they look at me like I am crazy for saying such a low number...

What 12 Technologies Power These Top 12 Killer Blogs?
Those arguments are flawed for the following reason. Suppose your website has a single slide per page. Let's say the website allows N simultaneous users before it breaks down (becomes too slow). Of course, even a superfast server will break down at some point.

Now, suppose browsers perform X concurrent requests (because of built-in behavior of the browser). Suddenly, you can not serve N users anymore, but only approximately N/X users.
There's a bunch of stuff that might be going on here.

People mostly don't know what they're eating. They don't know the calorie content; they don't know the macro / micro nutrient content. They don't know how much they're eating, nor how much they should be eating. Food (and I have nothing to base this on) feels more engineered and feels like it's deceptively marketed (gummy bears being sold as "FAT FREE FOOD!" is a scumbag tactic). We're seeing similar levels of broscience ("Avoid all sugar!") as we saw in the 80s ("Avoid all fat!") and it's probably not helpful.

I'm also interested in what they corrected for. Did they correct for increased prescribing of psychiatric meds? The US has a lot of "off label" prescribing of such meds; prescribing of these meds has increased dramatically since the 1990s; many of them list increased appetite and weight gain as side effects. (And the weight gain is not just a function of increased appetite).
Can someone explain this to me like I'm seven? My maths just isn't good enough. I've read Pinker's Better Angels and I've read the unsatisfying letters that Taleb wrote in criticism. Taleb seems to have a chip on his shoulder and while he's undoubtedly an incredibly smart man, his thinking is often sloppy when he steps outside his field.
This has been bothering me too.

Biggest problem from my point of view is that the US also happens to be the steward of the Internet. This public screwup represents the perfect opportunity for governments of the world to balkanize the Internet, as in further splintering it in geographic and commercial boundaries. Countries like China now have valid arguments in the eyes of the Chinese for blocking foreign websites and services. And more and more national firewalls will happen, firewalls that will crush freedom of speech and that will end the free trade.

I'm not sure if the age of the free Internet we've been enjoying is coming to an end, but you can bet your ass that governments are trying to end it. And the US government doesn't even seem to comprehend how big their screwup is.
> Having a single, 'official' ID (whatever it looks like) is better than searching by metadata.

As someone who works with scholarly data, having IDs for things is absolutely invaluable. There's a lot you can do with DOIs quickly and easily that would be prohibitively difficult if you had to use human-added metadata.
I love Masters Of Doom, it's one of my favourite books (make of that what you will). But I guess the main difference is that the id guys were pushing boundaries and working themselves to the bone on something they truly loved and felt passionate about. It was self-imposed and unlike the hordes of faceless developers working in sweatshop conditions to churn out the latest CoD or whatever, they actually received a huge amount of credit (and the fame and fortune that goes with it) for their hard work.

I agree, there's definitely this romanticised image of game development in the developer community. It's something I always aspired to get into but the sacrifices don't seem to be worth the rewards, at least in my case.
