Actually, there is a good reason to believe that natural flavours that taste good to us do so because they're healthy and contain the correct nutrients for us, and our bodies even can know about when we've consumed enough of them.

This book outlines all of that http://www.amazon.ca/Dorito-Effect-Surprising-Truth-Flavor/d...

I do not like resource intensive stuff either.

But people in general do not seem to mind having resource intensive stuff running, like videos (auto-starting) and Flash (on the way out, but not because users do not like it - they have no idea).

And to me this morally better then the privacy intruding ad stuff that is used now to make money for website owners.

A nice message would be good though. Like 'While you are visiting this page we use some of your processor to so some complex calculations to make this a better world'. Because from my understanding this is mainly used for academic stuff.
First off all, thanks for the great idea!

This library will be very valuable when it's polished. But currently it's a little bit rough around the edges.

I've tried to used it on my React app by dropping the script on the page, and here are the issues I've found:

1. For some reason 'window.Velocity' was always 'undefined' for me. I had to replace
'window.Velocity' with '$.Velocity' on line 34 and replace 'Velocity' with
'$.Velocity' on lines 160, 162, 167, 169. After that animations started to
work, but:

2. During some operations, elements that should unmount from the page failed
to do so.

3. After playing with expanding/collapsing a tree, based on <ul> and <li>, I
started getting <li>'s without parent <ul>'s and a corresponding error from React:

"Uncaught Error: Invariant Violation: findComponentRoot(...,
.0.4.1.0.1.0.1.0.0.2.0.$98350.0.0): Unable to find element. This probably
means the DOM was unexpectedly mutated (e.g., by the browser), usually due to
forgetting a <tbody> when using tables, nesting tags like <form>, <p>, or <a>,
or using non-SVG elements in an <svg> parent. Try inspecting the child nodes
of the element with React ID ``. "

I think this happens when I trigger an action while animation is still
running.

4. I have a button that opens a modal dialog and also covers the background
with a <div> that has "opacity: 0.5". But suddenly after including this library
this <div> ends up having "opacity: 1".

5. Another issue with modal window from previous point, is that animation
happens only when I pop-up the window for the first time. On second and
subsequent pop-ups there is no animation.

6. (not related to my app) In README you suggest that users of React
initialize your library after the initial render is done. But the library
itself doesn't provide a convenient mechanism to do so (for example, exporting
AutoAnimation function). I had to modify the script in order to call AutoAnimation after the initial render (which, by the way, seemed to have the same effect as simply dropping the script into the page)

When there are managers, things will be complex and there will be politics in the office. (I was one of the first 10 people of my first employer. It went to 400 people.)

I don't have golden suggestions for you. If you are a developer, stay focused on coding. If it still drives you mad, go find a better company.
Is this what's known as "SQM" inside of Microsoft or is it something different?
Hey HN! Just a friendly reminder that there a lot of people who agree with you. Don't take the downvotes when you post anti-Microsoft stuff as any kind of fact and keep posting your true opinions!

Microsoft really does continue to abuse users regardless of any open source they are doing. They should be praised for their open source efforts, but stuff like this sneaky backdoor data collection requires that we protest it as much as possible.

One way I think it could be good for the tech sector is the return of reasonable angel investment. Outside of YC, angel investment has moved up the due diligence ladder, resembling something nearer to actual venture capital. When you apply VC difficulty meters to quantifying the success on return of investment, then everyone at the bottom loses. Angel investment was supposed to be high risk, high reward but now it seems even angel groups don't do actual angel investments any more. In Texas, angel deals are standardized at the 2-3 million dollar level for a valuation when they should be high 100's instead. Losing the angel syndicates and opening things up again for real, actual angel investment would mean alot more actual unicorns make it to the marketplace. Not just the ones that get high profile coverage because of educational pedigree or VC attention from sand hill.
I think it's 'click to play' by default now.
If only US military involvement was only in WW1 & 2. The US was one of the good guys then, sure. Most of the other conflicts US army has taken part sound like a powertrip from an arrogant white man. Indian wars and the resulting genocide, Vietnam war where the french wanted the US to spank their unruly colony into submission... I'm sorry to say, the parties who like to smear US have quite enough fact based material.

That said, I'm not claiming US is evil but it's not a force of good either.
Stay-behind paramilitary organizations like Gladio were associated with old-fashioned terrorist attacks in Italy.
Not sure I agree. In many domains of science, politic and arts, not only middle ages didn't surpass the ancient times, they were even a regression. Some domains that come to mind: sculpture, architecture, mathematics, theater, law, philosophy, poetry...
Very interesting, I'd never heard of this. Thanks.
Funny, I saw this posted on /r/amateurradio and the app works really well. I just got my FCC license a few weeks ago and was inspired by some YT clips to try to talk to the ISS. A guy in Italy made a home-brew arduino az/el mount for his antenna so it tracks ISS as it moves across the sky so the radio can do its job:

> We already knew Windows 10 Threshold deleted third-party data monitoring tools and cleanup tools, including stalwarts like Spybot and CCleaner. It even disabled Cisco’s VPN software. Just a bug, said Microsoft.
Two bugs would be a puzzling coincidence – but something else makes it altogether more troubling.

I really doubt this has anything to do with the data collection.

Donkey Kong and Me (2008)
Perhaps people saw the information, thought "this is useful" and upvoted it. Since "this is useful" by iteself would not be a substantive comment on HN, that might explain why there are were no comments.

Much of the US is on holiday today. That probably has more to do with it than the factuality of whatever vague insinuations about Microsoft were intended.
If you violate the license agreement from apple there's potential for legal repercussions, and when you are trying to make money from their distribution channel (app store) it's generally better to not violate any of their rules. Especially since they don't have to give you much of a reason when rejecting or retracting your app from their store.
> I'm talking about why anyone not Apple should care.

Because otherwise they're violating the terms of the license agreement which means at best they get no support and are 100% on the hook for anything breaking and at worst they're at risk of legal action?

Building a hackintosh in your bedroom is one thing, violating the license agreement of the tools you're using to do your job is another.

Software Developers’ Growing Elitism Problem
That's what struck me most about the article, as well. Russell's essay is very flattering, until you realize the we that he terms "the best men of the present day" are probably not the we of Hacker News.

In particular, when Russell writes about "the philosophical radicals ... who were just as sure of themselves as the Hitlerites are[, who] dominated politics and ... advanced [the world] rapidly both in intelligence and in material well-being," he is very likely writing about people who would definitely be a Hacker News they, given what I know about his politics and given statements like "if at any future time there should be danger of a Labour Government that meant business, [the British Fascists] would win the support of most of the governing classes."

So, if this essay leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling about your "wider and truer outlook" and the feeling that you are being oppressed because of your "skepticism and intellectual individualism", well, congratulations! You've discovered the power of emotional rhetoric.
I think it is a potentially dangerous mistake to put the "stupid" label on all those that support anti-democratic tendencies.

Among other things, such as having a false impression of what else is possibly going on, one might be inclined to dismiss the problem too easily.

Why are people so obsessed with 'culture' and 'keeping things weird'? Be an adult, go to work. It isn't about weirdness (or stroking your perceived uniqueness and individuality concepts), it's about getting a job done.

If you are weird or unique, good for you. Not everyone wants in on 'silly hat and trousers' day.

Office 'culture' is a lie to keep you working harder, at the office longer, and people eat that shit up then wonder why most 'tech' people are unmarried young white men. Get married. You'll suddenly realize you don't give a shit about the office beer club. Grow as an individual into an adult, not a large-child.

You were very wise to realize it is a 'you' problem - that's a huge first step. Now see it for the crap it all is, and go to work anyway - or find a new place that thinks middle school 'in group cultural awareness' is still en vogue, and join their clique.

A better piece of advice? Join a club outside work. Get your individuality stroked there, and return to work refreshed and assured you are a beautiful and unique snowflake, just like everybody else.
I believe Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are both planning for reusable orbital launchers. They're pretty far out from flying, though. I think SpaceX is the only one actually putting stuff into orbit with concrete plans for reusability.
I'm not talking about myself, those are my experiences with hiring developers.

During CS you don't learn how to write code, you're just learning about architecture and algorithms ;) There is just not enough real-world practice involved.
This got me thinking, a virtual pet could be a great way of gameifying positive activities. Maybe you could exercise your pet by going for a run yourself, or make it more intelligent by doing a language tutorial. You could connect any fitness or learning app that provides an API. Every pet would end up being unique because of the unique combination of activities done by the owner.

Right now I can't figure out if that's a good idea or a really terrible one. Do I really want a virtual dog looking at me angrily all day because I didn't take him for his morning walk?
How the Atari ST Almost Had Real Unix (2011)
I dunno. Life would not have been that great for me in 1950s America.

On a large-scale, I agree. On the one hand, I would like to see the US transition to being a regional power, not a global one. Think UK now, versus UK 100 years ago. That said, human nature abhors a power vacuum, and I would rather live under US rule than under Russian, Chinese, or Islamic rule. I know what to do and what not to do under US rule. Also, I can do most things that I want to do without having to deal with common-place gangsterism.
No, these satellites only send out the line of pixels directly below them. For example if the satellite is moving south, your image is rendered from the top down, but from the bottom up if the satellite is northbound.

These satellites are very basic, and that I find is part of the fun.

"culture" with a small c is a lie, but "Culture" with a capital C is real.

Work should be real, meaningful, and authentic. It should be intrinsically motivating, and it should drive respect for people and a desire to do well. This type of culture amplifies productivity and 'joy in work' (as W. Edwards Deming called it) and is good for everyone. It is not happy hours, table tennis, foosball, or any of that fake stuff—it's feeling happy about the 'adult work' you're doing, and fulfilled by your contribution to a larger effort.

I think when people speak of 'culture going downhill,' they aren't talking about the trivial stuff that you'd get from clubs or 'silly hat and trousers' day. They're talking about the parts of work they enjoyed because they allowed the work itself to be meaningful.

This is why people are so obsessed with culture. If you aren't, you haven't bridged that gap yet, but keep looking for how to preserve that meaningful connection to the joy of work and how to drive it.
This is why liberal intelectuals are so paralyzed. Yes of course we're emotional too. And yes we can be swayed. But life is not black and white. The best of us has managed to develop a resistance to this kind of rhetoric by a life of study, debate, examining common rhetorical tricks etc. And it's not just different values that drives us. It's values that has carried us through a century of carnage into a much better life. We need to stop apologising and invoking bullshit relativistic cultural arguments and show some pride in basic values like equality for women, freedom of speech etc. I kind of think that's the central point that Bertrand Russell is making we paralyze each other by focusing on any potential error instead of realising that the things we value is mostly aligned and has been refined over a long time. We can trust most of our values.

Well they did spend quite some time discussing the trinity and the virginity of Mary. Also there was this problem with stillborn babies: but baptised, they wouldn't go to the paradise, but how could they go to hell if they didn't have time to commit their first sin? Big debates... So they invented the limbo, just for this special corner case. (As a developer I see this as very smelly, the abstraction was leaking too much)

Although you're right in general, this sentence is pretty confused:

> You can have custom elements in Angular without a shadow DOM, hence the existence of Polymer.

Angular's "custom elements" are not custom elements at all; they are just HTMLUnknownElement. (That is, `document.querySelector("x-my-angular-element") instanceof HTMLUnknownElement` is true.) To program against these unknown elements, you hook up Angular controllers to them, and the Angular runtime plumbs notifications between your HTMLUnknownElement and the associated controller.

What custom elements brings to the table is the ability to actually create an API for your element that is integrated into the DOM. That is, `document.querySelector("x-my-actual-custom-element") instanceof MyClass`, where `MyClass` is something you define. This will allow things like `myEl.myMethod()`, or `myEl.prop = "value"`, or similar. So you can directly interface with a custom element's API the same way you interface with HTML elements (`form.submit()`, `button.click()`, `input.value = "foo"`). You don't need to use a framework to plumb things around between the actual element, and some associated controller object hidden in a service location container.

I can assure you, as an active technical contributor, that the testing infrastructure in Openstack is verifying business logic, ensuring consistent coding standards, running unit tests and code coverage, and all of the usual activities associated with delivering reliable software. The difference for many projects is the scale at which it is automated thanks to the Openstack Infra and QA teams.

Any suggestion that Python code cannot possibly execute without it is an exaggeration.
Is it so wrong that some try to strive to find work that is enjoyable? Just because work is work and you have to do it to survive doesn't mean people shouldn't prefer it be less painful.

Yes, licensing issues aside. You can setup an OSX VM on Linux that is kicked off by a Jenkins job running on the Linux host.

If you have Hackintosh[1] experience it won't be too difficult to manage, but if you're unfamiliar with that kind of fiddling it might be a bit of a time-suck.

All things considered, unless you're willing or interested in managing something like that and confident you won't "get caught" by Apple (e.g., if they start detecting apps built on Hackintosh systems and banning related ADC accounts) you're better off finding some other solution (maybe https://macminicolo.net?).

"The CEO is the only one who will change it, and clearly doesn't have interest in that, so give up or move on" feels at first like a bleak and defeatist answer.

I have found that it is entirely true.

A company I worked at before went through this. We spoke to one of our more seasoned investors, who had the same thing as the parent comment to say.

I spent a lot of time trying to find ways for this not to be true, but it is.

At a company, the CEO owns the culture. Even if they don't know they do. There are a lot of variables you can change, but that one's a constant.
