I've always wondered if sites do this the other way around. A site invests a lot in content they create you would think to get the most out of it they would serve it with different headlines to different demographics. Knowing from Facebook what headlines you have clicked through in the past can indicate how they should write future headlines to get you again.
Yup. A few lines of code and an app can totally bypass decades of psychological research regarding marketing.

Earlier this year, a British tabloid called 'The Sun' dropped its infamous Page 3. This news immediately made headlines and everyone was talking/joking about it.
A couple of days later, Page 3 returned and everyone realised that they'd been played; it was a great advertising ploy. The media forgot that it was The Sun's sister paper The Times that made the original, brilliantly sneaky, announcement! (Murdoch/News International)

I predict the same will happen in this Playboy's case...

>Winapi is imperative, React is functional.

That's a red herring. That would be relevant if we were discussing the imperative vs functional methodology.

But what the article discusses is the similarity in the architecture of two view management systems.

And even more so, the imperative changes in the Windows scheme described are encapsulated inside the views, and the overall system is more functional that you give it credit for. But, again, I think that this is beside the point.

> if an area of land is a warzone and it's known there are anti-aircraft missiles deployed

But it was not known there was anti-aircraft missile capability until April 14th (a few days before the MH17 crime). You're making the exact logic fallacy that the DSB criticized in its report.

All incidents from before that Antonov downing on the 14th were done using MANPADS (i.e. shoulder-carried missile launchers). These don't reach high altitude. The information about the new capability wasn't relayed quickly enough to commercial aviation authorities (I don't think the DSB identified a reason for the delay).

Instead, the DSB argued that risk assessment for fly/no-fly decisions should not only include known risks, but should also account for unknown risks (say, the speculation that the rebels did have anti-aircraft capability).

(edit: although another source says that the rebels' STA capability was known since June 29th)
I don't know why everyone thinks that article is great. Its just a fairly crappy opinion pice to me with no real researc or evidence.
A couple of corrections:

1)
Mac OS X does not store a bitmap for every widget, that's iOS's architecture. It stores a bitmap for every window. Having a layer (GPU-stored bitmap) was only introduced once CoreAnimation was ported to OS X. It was and is optional.

2)
OS X Views also have a -drawRect: method that works the same way.

3)
In fact that's how MVC works. See http://blog.metaobject.com/2015/04/model-widget-controller-m...

I agree the email overindulges in euphemisms ("streamline", "restructure", "nimble", "change how we work") and filler phrases ("working around the clock", "moving forward").

Did your college educate students on popular languages or current events?
Last night, two fellow alumni and I sat down to talk with some of our professors from our university that we had graduated from two years ago. Unfortunately, I was not particularly savvy in my knowledge of the different communities surrounding various languages when I started my career, and went into the comparatively corporate .NET framework for my first job, and later second. While there appears to be relatively little flexible work for mid level .NET programmers, there is an abundance for front-end and Rails. Now I find myself in the unenviable position of trying to switch specialities while trying to find more flexible work, due to outside circumstances. I was curious what, if any, education other developers received at school about the shape of the modern programming communities surrounding popular frameworks and languages? Some ideas we came up with were a seminar as part of an engineering course, or write-ups of current events in the industry.
Wow, that's not a review, that's a murder!

Hit the nail on the head though. I think it's fairly accurate as to their failings.
If you're looking at a single, stand alone hypervisor, then the differences are not enormous. You could pick your flavor based on whatever you're comfortable with.

When you're looking at larger scale and the potential for unique and/or fringe cases goes up, then support for those becomes a differentiator. VMware rather excels here I think, with support for device pass-through and higher resource limits. GPU acceleration, Raw Device Mapping, are some of the ones I can think of.

A little past that and it's interaction between hypervisors. ESXi and KVM will do live migration, but KVM doesn't have DRS (yet). I don't think Hyper-V has storage live migration yet, but ESXi does. And so on.

They'll all catch up, I've no doubt. I'm particularly interested to see Nutanix with their Acropolis/KVM hypervisor gain these features. But right now, ESXi is in the lead.
Although the projects you're talking about make great Show HNs, the category is broader than that: it's for sharing something you're making. The main criteria are that it be real (e.g. not just an email signup or findraiser) and that it works (i.e. it's something people can try out and is more than just a blog post).

"Works" means something different depending on the kind of project. I think it's ok for people to post their businesses as Show HNs as long as they have a working product users can try.

thanks for those links, although I can't read the Russian ones. Have any of those hits been confirmed? I believe I read somewhere that the first Antonovs were downed using ATA missiles (read: fighter planes), and only the latest AN26 (the 14th of July) using STA missiles.

There are also some tweets in English down on the twitter page i linked. Also you can Google translate it. The capture of the BUK systems was well communicated on both sides - in Russian and Ukrainian news at the time, before the MH-17. There was also another Ukrainian BUK battery captured in Luhansk, though there weren't much traces of it after that.

This is BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28299334 on the second AN-26. I remember how in those days we were amuzed at the stupid propagandist version put forward by Ukraine that it was a SAM from Russian territory - it would have needed at least a C-300/400 missile which would be recorded by all the NATO radars/satellites.

The pulls ideological and technical pulls have oft conflicted.

When did it become a country?
This is the same problem people faced at the turn of last century.

The solution at the time was a mix between unionizing labor and adding regulation, like anti-monopoly laws, from the public side, and basically "inventing" the service, tertiary, sector and modern consumerism from the private side.

The problem with this solution now is that there is no quaternary sector in sight to absorb the displaced from the automation of the tertiary sector. Some researchers are talking about an "experience" sector that would be inmune, at least for now, to automation, but the volume of the current job market doesn't seem to indicate that it could replace the "service" sector any time soon.

Also the current market solution seems to be sharing economy businesses, which doesn't seem to scale from a social standpoint.

Up the Rabbit Hole: Part I – A Docker-Machine DNS Server
There are massive costs to the employed portion of the population exacted by the unemployed. Social Security is an obvious item, but consider other side effects:

* Desperate people are more likely to mug / murder people ==> Medical cost, psych therapy cost, security cost, cost of being afraid of who's going to get you for the $20 in your pocket.
* People in shitty conditions are more likely to become drug addicts, funding criminal activity and being a burden on things like EMS / hospitals. Maybe the next time you need an ambulance it will be busy with an OD case. Or maybe the ambulance will run you over as you attempt to cross the street? Or even just the sirens interrupting your sleep at night, removing a few $ of value from your life without your consent.
* For those who grow up in the poorer portion, they're less likely to get properly nourished, resulting in stunded growth, future health problems and diminished IQ (eg no omega3s in childhood)
* Same security issues but with your kids and their kids comingling in public schools.

It's important to read the full context. All that snippet means is that the GNU Emacs maintainer should be fine with adding new features to Emacs that are not portable to non-free platforms like Windows and Mac OS X. That is a perfectly reasonable requirement: Non-free platforms shouldn't hold back free platforms, because portability is not the ultimate goal, creating the best free software possible is the ultimate goal.
I think anyone that has been contacted via your service should have the ability to see what information you've aggregated. This can be as simple as sending an email to customer service and providing the email address or phone number via which your customer initiated communication. Ideally this would be in an interactive format, even if it's just a list of profiles with links to them (linked in page, contact page on corporate website, etc).

Where Talent Bin went wrong in my opinion is they require you to email customer service and then customer service sends back screenshots of their interface looking at the profile page for you. In my case some of the information was obviously wrong but some of it I had to do searches at github or other sources to determine what they were even referencing. Once I figured it all out I was able to reply with a request for the information that was in fact mine to be blocked from the system and for the information that was mine to be disassociated from the profile they undoubtedly still have for me. The process was painful and a huge turn off for me which was a big part of the reason I simply don't want any contact from Talent Bin. If it had been a little cleaner or easier then I wouldn't have cared. For example, the system could have had methods for me to verify my github account, twitter account or other social media accounts. Many of these have private messaging systems, oauth abilities or other mechanisms via which verification could occur.

This stuff is rampant because the incentives are there. Academia values original publications all else. Tenure, promotion, and respect of your peers depends almost entirely on publication in academic journals. Doing replications is not considered original and often raises the ire of more senior members of your field (the ones you're probably criticizing). In fact, making your research difficult to replicate is probably a smart career move --- no one can come along and use your data to publish something better!

Until replicability is required by top journals, and replications are appropriately valued by these fields, you'll continue to see this kind of drek trotted out.

Publish or perish.

I agree it's purely a business decision, but I suspect it's a genuine attempt to redefine the magazine -- essentially as a head-on rival to Esquire (which is pretty much Playboy without the pictures). This allows Playboy to address a larger market -- i.e. people who would actually be interested in the articles but don't want to be seen as buying porn.

Of course, it's still called Playboy, so... eh whatever.

EDM, and DP in particular focus almost entirely on sound design techniques, rhythm, tonal qualities and timbre, mostly with minimal use of chord progression. "One more time" is a bit tongue and cheek on pop music and electronica.

Good example of the tonal and rhythmic focus in DP production style, "Rollin' & Scratching" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbb8kZw-xRg

There's certainly context for Daft Punk if you want to dive into their brains (record collectors, hip hop, electro, disco, funk, (French)-house, Detroit techno, German psychedelic 'Krautrock'), and much like the bulk of architects and musicians prior and since, DP's production style was/is largely the product of tools and techniques available to them.
