Xcode 7 lets you compile and run apps on a device without a developer account. It would require giving out your source code, but at least it's available.
Yes. I couldn't single step through a simple program without delving into assembly code. Couldn't list the program. Breakpoints weren't working. I think part of the problem was working on OSX. I was reading some Rust issue related to the debug info generation. Although the issue was closed I think it's still a problem. Oh well.

It's more complex than you claim – I've worked with a few of these systems.

There are a lot of edge cases; consider that in some cases devices being used a full-blast power can draw more current when operating then a charging device can supply, meaning they can still discharge batteries even when AC power is available. (Apple example – smaller power adapter than supplied. Still technically works to charge, but not supply power. Or any arbitrary 500mA USB charger.)

Yeah, I don't doubt that you could probably engineer something that works. But would the complexity be worth it? Probably not. The fact that every modern device (Apple and otherwise) behave this way should suggest that it's not that easy – if it were, it wouldn't be implemented that way.

BREAKING NEWS - exercise is good for you.
Actually, that reply was very much typical of HN culture. In fact, it was quite kind for HN. There was no "you're an idiot" aspect to it. (By that I mean he gave you information, minus much in the way of warm fuzzy social stuff. If you are looking for lots of gushy personal contact, you are in the wrong place. If you are looking for intellectual stimulation and high level discussion, you may have found your new home.)

The site is a discussion forum aimed at tech people and potential entrepreneurs. It is part of the business model for YC in that (last I checked) you needed a handle here to apply to YC, a start-up incubator that provides seed money and all kinds of education and what not for nascent companies wanting to hit it big who have the potential to be the next AirBnB. YC is, in fact, where AirBnB got its start.

Last stats I saw: It is predominantly male, sometimes thought to be as much as 97% male, though I think that is probably an exaggeration, and the bulk of the members are mostly in their 20s and 30s, though ages range from early childhood to at least 80s, last time I saw an onsite survey.

The intent is to discuss things that are intellectually engaging. It has a few other aspects, like Show HN, that support the general interest in supporting web-based businesses just starting out.

I suggest you look around, do some reading and not jump to conclusions about people replying to you.

Edit: YC is short for Y-Combinator, if you want to google the name of the incubator and get additional info. I don't seem to have spelled that out at any point, though I had intended to do so.
We were rejected, despite being in the YC RFS' category (A.I.)

Kip is a deep learning search for fashion in IRL stores around you: https://kipsearch.com

I don't think there was a particular reason why they rejected us, most likely that in a bell curve we just weren't as good compared to other applicants.

It was great fun doing the application, and we learned a lot! More importantly, we closed a lead investor/partnership the day before, so even though we were rejected it wasn't a big disappointment.
not bad, just preferred by whoever pays to direct culture.
A year or two ago some developer [0] figured out how to code some sort of pseudo pressure sensitivity into a music making app, which seemed to work well from what I heard. Apple eventually banned the app from their store citing improper use of the code base.

Is "needed" defined anywhere?

Speechless!

I highly doubt Homejoy/Fly Maids is maintaining the data themselves, it's probably stored in Stripe, so unless they are actually storing credit card data in a non PCI compliant way, they are probably fine, right?

No, Stripe would then be violating PCI-DSS themselves.

I will not call you an ahole because you're at least conceding that you may be wrong about web development not being "meaty." Let's see if I can argue that there is indeed meat in web development.

Let's look at your "tired problems." "Interface with a database." Yep. Hey, which database? Do you use the tired and true MySQL? Do you trade up to Postgres's improved features in exchange for possibly reduced compatibility? Do you do NoSQL like all the cool kids? Great, now which NoSQL database? Will your app really benefit from it? Okay, you picked a database; do you write SQL directly, or use a pre-built database layer/ORM of some sort? If the former, do you know how to escape your arguments and make sure you're not inviting injection exploits? Do you know how to write efficient queries that will touch as few database rows as possible? If the latter, will it hide needed capability from you or behave much slower than using straight SQL? What are the trade-offs? Do you perhaps use specialty databases like Solr for search or Redis for key-value storage in addition to your main one? Is the increased complexity worth the potential speed or flexibility increases? Can you make sure queries to those databases are secure too?

Or "handling user accounts." Oh my God, okay. Do you let people sign up with usernames? Just email addresses? Do you allow multiple accounts with the same email address? If someone has signed up with the username "Helen" (with an ell), do you let someone else sign up as "He1en" (with a one) or "He|en" (with a pipe) and possibly impersonate them? How do you store the password? No, that's wrong. No, that's also wrong. How do you let people reset their password if they forget it? Oh, wow, that's very wrong! Are you storing credit card numbers or addresses or other personal information? How do you do user permissions, so some user accounts have administration permissions that others don't? How do you avoid XSS exploits that might allow an unprivileged user from taking over an administrator account? What if you want someone who's between a normal user and an administrator who has some edit privileges but can't take down the whole site?

Okay, got all that worked out? Okay, now make it respond in 200ms or less from all points in the world. And compliant with these government regulations the client is just now telling you about two weeks before the scheduled launch. And also look and work the same in Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, five different strains of Arabic, and, most cruelly, German, whose long words bring many unprepared web designers to tears. And on mobile.

Granted, many devs will work with a framework or CMS that helps solve some of these issues for us, but even then we need to understand the inner workings of that system and what the trade-offs are in order to truly exploit it.
You could give your code out as a compiled static library or framework if you were concerned about that. Then the source code would just be the trivial code required to link and present the app.
Yeah I love GDB. It's so mighty. The interesting that you can script your debuging and it's just mindblowing. It helped me much in debuging net communication. It was tough, but GDB let much! And It's for C/C++ too.
Once compiled to native code, which it will be for big data because the same classes are reused over and over, I would assume it would be in same ball-park as C/C++ code.

How do they know that the relationship isn't the inverse: people with slower telomerase reduction age more gracefully and are more likely to report being physically active because they have developed fewer disabilities? Their "critical window" (40-65) also lines up suspiciously well with when people's bodies start to get creaky.
If there was anything of any size there, we would be able to measure its effect on the rest of the planetary orbits.

>Apple has a moral and ethical onus to make the right choices be it related to the confederate flag, changing drug laws, or using emoji to fight bullying, and we respect that.

I can't decide if he really respects that or if he's still hoping to get his app approved. Companies should not be in the business of trying to enforce (clearly unenforceable) laws by removing features that do perfectly legal things.
I don’t know much about how the CA system works, but “there’s something fishy going on with this CA” in conjunction with “starting with June 1st 2016” is not very reassuring.

Is there a place to find these surveys?. I was lurking on your blog a bit:)
But this is the 4th or 5th similar announcement I recall, some of which have been malicious, some incompetent. Maybe CAs are getting better but 'trusted' is not the first word that comes to mind any more.
If they keep data in Stripe, you should contact Stripe about it. I'd be interested in what they have to say.
So this person says every CPU cycle matters and then immediately takes the single CPU cycle and multiplies it by billions, the scale of their data.

So no, it's not "every" CPU cycle, it's the ones that scale with the highest dimension of your data that matter. Which is the same old story we have always had, save your energy for optimising the parts that matter, because the ones that matter probably matter orders of magnitudes more than the ones that don't.
I wish Microsoft will come up with their own version on Android like Amazon. And have their own app store. I mean Google apps are great but I hate that all of my data is going through the same company. Amazon's Android fork is not good enough to considered seriously but Microsoft has pretty good Android apps. Plus it would be great to have some competition!
They do. The article gives an unfair impression of Dafen. It isn't just these assembly lines of mechanical make-work to churn out thousands of what essentially have more in common with a numbered print than a bespoke painting.

There are also hundreds of smaller shops, and thousands of individual artists who do direct commission work for customers and patrons. There are also formal galleries with beautiful collections of truly fine pieces. It's a sight to behold, for sure.

My favorite painting from there is about 3'x4'and cost about $190. I then paid about $400 to have it re-stretched and framed when I got home. :-/
This argument is valid only if you implicitly assert that the current system is perfect. Every system has it's trade-offs.

Not exactly.

There are some commercial decompilers for VB6 (and I'm quite sure the source code those generate isn't exactly easy to read either) but none that I know of for VB5.

Besides, they're quite expensive (because they're usually part of some larger IDE) and most of them aren't even available anywhere anymore. Even Microsoft has long since (2008) stopped supporting VB6 and below.

So, yes it's possible but far from easy. In fact as decompiling languages goes I'd say VB6 and VB5 are among the more difficult ones in practical terms.
likely. but that wasn't my intent.

Tips on how to improve your posture at work
I think the point of asking about senses is that memories of feelings are more consistent than memories of detail. And if it's being done properly, the person's answers are being benchmarked against their other answers. If you're struggling to remember a particular day at all then it's not necessarily held against you, but if your recollections of what was said and done at a particular event are hazy after you've calmly explained that you know you were there until at least 8pm because you got the 8:14 train home then...
> By accepting the app, Apple is implicitly allowing the use case of using the phone as a scale.

This may be a bigger issue than just concern that customers might ruin their screens (and blame Apple.)

Scales (for commercial use) are regulated, and devices marketed as scales but intended for only non-commercial use are explicitly labeled "not for us in trade"; Apple probably doesn't want to be seen as marketing or endorsing the iPhone as a scale, even implicitly.
We might have had a hand in the "natural process" (which doesn't make it unnatural).

I am terrible at finding things on HN. There is a search function at the bottom of the site and there have been surveys performed in the past on site that asked for things like age (and sometimes other things, like religion). I have provided all the raw data I know of regarding gender on my blog (linked in my profile, as you likely know). I know of nothing formal, rigorous, etc. But I believe I have seen more than one age survey over the years.

I have been here on and off something like 6 years. This is just what I remember seeing off the top of my head at various points in time. And my memory is certainly not 100% reliable (it used to be a lot better than it is these days, nearly but not quite "photographic" for some things, but that was some years back).
Thank you for looking at it! But I do need to correct you, it is not using LWW semantics. To be clear, LWW isn't possible in a decentralized system because "last" is different for every peer. Only a centralized system can have a "last" because it has an objective place to measure last from. GUN is using a deterministic merge function, not LWW.

Academia - I agree with you! Good words, sir. I was just wanting people to know that it does exist in code land as well, because often times academic designs aren't. So I think it is important to highlight when they are available.
I think Art will survive this.
If a private citizen, company, or institution were properly permitted and licensed to have such a blimp aloft and it got loose, there's no way they'd be thrown in jail - that's overly dramatic.

There would be civil liability to deal with, which would be handled through lawsuits and insurance companies, but there's no reason for jail.

As far as the government having different 'rules' than private citizens - yeah, that happens. Sometimes it's stupid, and sometimes it makes perfect sense. For example, suing the federal government for punitive damages for negligence is generally unproductive. Any damages awarded would only be punitive to the tax paying populace as the source of said money.
I have recently wrote an article collecting the best AI resources:

They don't. From the article:

"However, as Dr. Loprinzi points out, this study is purely associational, so cannot show whether exercise actually causes changes in telomere length, only that people who exercise have longer telomeres."
There's still a pretty big speed penalty for Java because the object model encourages a lot of pointer-chasing, which will blow your data locality. In C++, it's common for contained structs to be flat in memory, so accessing a data member in them is just an offset from a base address. In Java, all Object types are really pointers, which you need to dereference to get the contained object. HotSpot can't really optimize this beyond putting really frequently used objects in registers.

A lot of big-data work involves pulling out struct fields from a deeply nested composite record, and then performing some manipulation on them.

It can 'see' up to 340 miles away - these could be deployed dozens to hundreds of miles away from a target area, which would make it a lot harder to take 'potshots' at it. Plus, a bullet doesn't exactly make a big hole (relatively speaking) in something that's 75 meters long - the thing probably leaks more from it's seams than a handful of .30 holes...

How could Stripe know if one of their users is out of business and should delete their data? I'm a bit confused (as you already know!)

Stripe has API calls to get the last four digits and expiration date.

Also, it's not clear that the /payments page isn't secure, the screenshot is of the Profile page.

*edit: see my reply to your other comment, didn't realize you were OP, so I will now assume you did check the payment form for security and it was not there, which is definitely even more shocking.
While I think this is a stupid move on the founder's end and there's no debate about that, I disagree with your understanding of what "passion" is. People seem to think most passionate people are born with some sort of pre-assigned passion, but it's something that arises out of your experience and action. Just like Thomas Edison was "passionate" about what he built (but he was super greedy and an asshole too), this guy probably became obsessed with this "space" after having worked on it for such a long time, even though 5 years ago he probably didn't care about home cleaning at all.
PR is difficult - especially on Hacker News. Sometimes people respond excessively harshly (which I think unfortunately makes people less likely to engage the community at all).

Bad press sucks and can be hard, it'll pass though - good to be cautious with this kind of thing in the future (which you probably will be).

I was a Homejoy customer too and don't think this is that big a deal all things considered.
"Different data types will force Vertica to use a different number of CPU cycles to process a data point" At the end of the day that performance bump comes down to the data point itself, sometimes the decrease in that CPU cycle wouldn't be as significant as expected.

Would love to see if the performance bump is highly significant on a much larger and complex data set.
Why the anti-Apple headline edit?
"Point-in-time" is a term of art for audit. It basically means that a third party will attest to a given state at a given time. They're in contrast to "continuous" audits, which is more focused on auditing records over a period of time, or on a recurring basis.

A "point-in-time readiness assessment" is kind of redundant, but it basically means getting a third party to come look at their CA (processes, procedures, standards, implementation) and assert on Symantec's behalf that it meets some criteria.
