Do you mean to say that I should introduce a framework?
Apple does not claim ownership of your output that is done on your own time, with your own resources, as long as it doesn't relate to work you're doing at Apple.

I recently signed an employment agreement with them. It was the most fair one that I've ever signed.
Ah, I forgot libmill uses setjmp/longjmp. I'm not sure how that really works for coroutines though since you still need to deal with stack allocations. So replace "non-portable assembly" with "possibly non-portable C hacks". I haven't gotten around to digging deep in the code yet though. If libmill's approach is future-proof then that'd be pretty awesome.
Yes, you're right, it was the case in Intel 486 SX/DX.

All I am saying here that this is of course a waste of resources, even though I don't know how to prevent this sort of waste in our society.

(IMHO, bigger problem is for example throwing out foods by restaurants and supermarkets, which is also OK by doctrine of economic liberalism, yet wasteful.)
Merging time series data streams – A Node.js streams case
The issue is not so much with the word "determine" as it is with the word "instantaneously". You could say "Entanglement lets the measurement of one particle instantaneously frob the state of a partner particle" without knowing or specifying what the word "frob" means and you'd have the same problem: you're claiming that measuring one particle does something to the other particle, and does it instantaneously and, moreover, that this is mysterious because the two particles are far apart (hence the slogan "spooky action at a distance"). All this is wrong. There is no "spooky action at a distance" because there is no action. Whether that action is "determining" or "frobbing" the state of the other particle is irrelevant.

The correct story is that measurement and entanglement are the same physical phenomenon. The creation of an EPR pair is the first step in any measurement process. The correlations in EPR measurements derive from exactly the same physical process as the correlations in "ordinary" measurements (I put "ordinary" in scare quotes because, as I said, even "ordinary" measurements start with the creation of an EPR pair). When you "measure" the two halves of an EPR pair what you are really doing is performing two measurements on whatever system produced the EPR pair to begin with. When you look at it that way it is not at all surprising that the measurements should be correlated.

For what it's worth, your best bet is to just walk away after making sure you're covered for any liabilities arising out of any future work. Life is too short to waste on little issues and you'd better serve yourself by leaving and maybe starting up something in future on a product which you sincerely believe in. My two cents having gone through an elaborate dissolution and founder disagreement on things which in hindsight are worth exactly $0.
I believe Maldacena's 1999 paper [1] proving the AdS/CFT correspondence is the most cited in theoretical physics in the last 50 years. It's an incredibly nice result that is almost impossible to explain to laymen. (You did a pretty good job.)

Learning UX design: where do I start
Yes, we do currently have massive problems with other religions. But when I list those problems you're going to say things like "but those aren't christians" or "those are a distortion of christian teachings" -- exactly what the vast majority of Muslims will tell you.
I'll be brutally honest, just walk away.

You gave it a good go and have decided it isn't for you.

If it is still for your co-founder, thats fine - it sounds like she is the one with the debt anyway?

There is not point in haggling for equity if your company isn't profitable - it's worth nothing and you have decided you don't have the resources to make it profitable.

If you're really worried about it becoming something in the future, then perhaps you're not done yet and should regroup or pivot the idea.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

The problems I've got with HN would with one exception be best addressed with less design.

It assumes fixed screen / viewport widths and font sizes. Foreground / background contrast is poor. The more code: collapsable subthreads.

Otherwise, it's a basic text-heavy design for a text-heavy site.
there are whole businesses based on human irrationality/outright stupidity (just few random examples - short term loans, gambling, smoking tobacco). We tend to think we are better than in reality, and tend to sidetrack evidence of contrary (maybe to be more happy with ourselves, who knows)
You are asserting something as true that is actually under dispute. Whether the state of the particle was already determined is the million dollar question. Importantly, under non-local theories, it doesn't have to be. Superpositions can be real and not just mathematical entities.

Frameworks will be implemeting a number of these for you.
How about we take as a first one: do you seriously think WWII happened because Hitler portrayed the Jews as the enemy ? Do you think Iraq happened (first time OR second time) because Bush (first one, then the other) portrayed Iraqi's as terrorists ?Or let's take non-western conflicts. Say, Iran-Iraq war. Who demonized who exactly (as a cause of war) ? Do you think the Falklands war was about demonized Argentinians ?

I'm not trying to belittle or avoid the fact that people were demonized during these conflicts, in some cases with very unpleasant consequences. However, that had little to do with the conflicts themselves.

Design is only a part of the experience, most of the value comes from usefulness.
Quality happens when people feel like they are allowed to invest the time to clean up. Telling someone they are an owner is one way to do that.

Most companies base your performance only on new features, creating a culture of fear around refactoring ("I would love to refactor that, but it's not going to put any points on the board in Pivotal, so I'll just wait until some unspecified future day when the refactoring will get scheduled as a project." Which of course never happens because product owners are also judged based on new features.

Ownership has a bunch of negative side effects, particularly around balkanization of styles and practices. Which isn't to say it's not the right choice in many situations.... it absolutely is. But to say it's the only way to get quality is just wrong. Another approach would be to encourage coders to add refactor stories to their queues and include those in performance reviews. Or have dedicated code quality engineers.

Almost anything where you can make people believe that cleaning up is part of their job will do the same trick.

How to Develop a Real Estate App Like Zillow
This message clarifies what you mean. But you said before "A measurement of one entangled particle does NOTHING to the other particle. Its state is exactly the same as it was before.".

By measuring (one of the particles in) the system you are collapsing its wave function. Doesn't that mean the state of the system (both particles) is affected?

doesn't have to be using a framework. Even just separating application logic from the templates would improve it.
Say we're measuring spins of entangled particles with random entangled spins.

So the real problem isn't that "when one is up, then the other will magically be up too." That could be accomplished with local hidden variables (e.g. shared seeds on a PRNG, or your examples).

The real problem is that when you measure A in the "up" direction, and then B in the "10 degrees east of up" direction, then B seems to know that you measured A in the "up" direction.

That is to say: B's probability distribution as a function of the direction its being measured is correlated to the direction that A is measured. There's no way to construct an "A-independent" probability distribution of B's results for arbitrary directions. The probabilities won't sum to 1 and still match experimental results.

It's unfortunate that "A up" therefore "B up" is a degenerate case of this reality where classicality actually works, because it leads to confusion.

(Also the reason you can't use this magic to communicate FTL is that you can only ask one yes/no question of each particle, and because B's probability distribution is distorted in a symmetric way based upon A's measurement, you're still going to get a 50/50 response for yes/no questions asked of random entangled particles)

Feel free to comment, as I paste this on every misunderstanding of Bell's Theorem here, and I edit to make more clear each time.
I can speak from experience as I've been through this. Although my co-founder and I never actually argued/quarreled. I even decided to leave before we got funded (€50k) as I was sure there was no substance to our product. Over a year later and I am glad to believe I still made the right decision.

I thought about it for around a week (how I would do the break up) - I only really ever broke up with one girlfriend in the past and that was hard, even at 15.

We went for a coffee and I'm pretty sure he knew it was coming. Much respect to him. He knew I was confident in my decision and didn't try to persuade me to stay (and muster and broil resentment in the future as humans typically do).

He was still adamant about pursing the startup regardless of having no technical skills (I was the developer, and it was only two of us). I helped him get the funding and promised to do a code swap with any new developer that comes in; in return for being washed free of the startup - regardless of funding (which I didn't want to touch).

No new developer came on board needless to say, and I never asked him what he did with the money. We are still friends and meet from time to time to catch up.

We had previously discussed 50/50 equity split, but when I walked away I said I wanted to be totally free of it. It wasn't about the money, life is long and it's not a race to get the most money.

I was going to say 'to get rich', but richness can be found even in chocolate so I don't agree with calling people with a lot of money 'rich'.

It's in vogue in the design community where the primary use case is passively consuming images and media. This seems to be where Google is sending Google+, and how all the feeds I still have followed on it are using the service -- sentence of text + image/video.

From what I understood in the post and a few reviews of it, Google don't (and shouldn't) want to compete with Facebook in friend cross-posting interaction activities.

> Making consumption choice-free, decision-free and friction-free should be the guiding principle in all social apps.

In what world is that true? The point of social interaction enabling apps is to increase the likelihood of users regularly choosing to abandon passive consumption and interact with things. Friction is the only thing in your maxim that makes sense I'm afraid.
> 'determine' does not mean 'change' - does it?

Yeah, it does, amongst other things. Unfortunately in that context two of its meanings (to discover & to decide) could have been appicable.
Hi, and thanks for asking :-)

Charts.js is a great library. These are the problems I had that made me switch to MetricsGraphics:

- No support for time series. I need to chart 100 data points, one per day. It's difficult to correctly label the ticks on the time axis without library support, and without overlapping labels. (It looks like support for this will be added in 2.0.)

- When I rollover, instead of highlighting and showing the tooltip for the closest points, many points are highlighted. (There is an issue about this in the bug tracker.)

- I'd like to remove the dots, when drawing a chart line.
Which of Ello's ideas?
still waiting for that scientific backing, I don't see any outright proven threat. on the other hand, if this extra "power" allows us to create plants to feed hungry ie in Africa where usual crops wouldn't survive, that sounds like a real added value. or you want to explain a starving child that it should rather die because you don't like how the results are obtained?
I would find an arrangement that allows both of you the best of options to digest the situation an go on with your life. For the moment i would take the assumption the project is a failure and don't count on "hopes on continuing" . when everything is settled you can re-look at the pieces and see what is salvageable but for now the biggest problem seems to be the loan of $10K. Even if you both would be able to walk away , you both are responsible for paying back the loan. Even if your co-founder is not your friend anymore, try to fix that situation. Sell assets , do some contracting work and try to end up with a 0$ debt situation. The world is a small place , don't make casualties, only blame yourself and take with you everything you learned from this job and apply it in the future. This failure will be a useful lesson.

ah damn, I've already bought two Christopher Alexander books ("The Timeless Way of Building"[1] and "A Pattern Language"), and now I'm going to have to get another one. That sounds great.

[1] - well worth a read. Did you know there was a terribly humane philosophy behind the original design patterns work? This was beautifully described in Peopleware as "Local control of design by those who will occupy the space". E.g. - Alexander advocates for the people who are going to live in and work in the buildings be intimately involved in both the design and the construction of the buildings. Not only does he advocate for this, he explains ways of doing this in practice. This philosophy could be ported to software -- let the users of software systems be involved in the design and construction of the systems. That sounds like far more of an ambitious and genuinely positive idea than the old "visitor pattern" / "singleton [anti]pattern" stuff that springs to mind when one has been subjected to the computer-science-education version of design patterns.

> The third option is for her to only get the brand

Don't worry too much about that, there is no brand.

It also doesn't matter who came up with what idea, that's completely irrelevant for this context.

Is the loan owed by the corporation or by her personally? I'm guessing it's on her head to pay that back.

You're very likely going to have to walk away with nothing material, if you plan to walk away now. Rather than literally nothing, hopefully you learned something.

I'd suggest that your best possible options are to either walk away completely (probably your best bet), or to negotiate your equity down substantially and let your co-founder know that you would like to retain a modest stake in exchange for all the work you put in. She is going to be putting in the work going forward, it's unlikely she'll be ok with you retaining your full co-founder stake if you're going to be gone this early into the venture (meaning it's an extra incentive for her to close the corporation and move on, given the present stage of the company, if she can't reduce your equity).

If you're really confident you have something valuable in the corporation (it doesn't sound like it based on what you've described, it sounds like it's extremely early), then talk to a lawyer.

All coroutine libraries are non-preemptive and cooperative. E.g. in Haskell, threads will switch only on GC allocations. In Go, they only switch on I/O (and maybe function returns). In theory, the compiler could automatically add `yield` statements into non-allocating, non-I/O loops. But nevertheless, all user-space threading is cooperative.

I'm not comparing the two because they're both Abrahamic. I compare the two because if you're looking hard enough in both texts you'll find justification for evil. Extremist 'Muslims', ISIS, (I say in quotes, because IMHO they're not 'real Muslims') find justification in their text. Extremist 'Christians' (I say in quotes, because IMHO they're not 'real Christians') found justification in the Bible.

I'm not trying to protect Islam or bring Christianity down. I honestly don't care either way about any of them. What I'm trying to explain that blaming Islam is the wrong thing to do, is pointless, and if anything it helps disenfranchise the at-risk, on-the-fence-extremeists who are (getting) upset at how everyone else deals with their religion.
Why Design Thinking Matters in Software Development
Lowering prices and adding form factors is great, but for me, I kind of wish they the chrome project had started immediately after rather than before the smartphone revolution. I think they got locked into "The Web is Enough." Smartphones reminded us that apps matter too.

Chrombooks sell well, apparently, but I rarely see them in the world.

I just think it's past time for a new desktop OS. Windows is not a great option for most home users. OSX's job is to sell a premium apple product. I wish there was an android of laptops and I think chrome OS would be doing it if not for the bad timing.

It might also be the a solution for TV.

> But there is something absurd about the possibility that a person with a demonstrated propensity for mass violence might be returned to society at large without any legal restrictions, psychological treatment, or period of supervision.

There is nothing illegal in wanting to kill people. There is nothing illegal in having radical religious (or other) beliefs. Free societies don't punish thought crime.

The only thing the law enforcement/legal system can legally and morally do, is to mark him as a potential threat (and increase surveillance) like they would with any other suspected terrorist.
