I wonder how long it'll be before a smart TV is sold that automatically scans for and connects to open wireless access points so it can phone home.
The parent's comment said something explicitly different. There's a very clear line:

>>If you want kids, the only reason you shouldn't have them is if you aren't up to the task of raising them -- for whatever reason.

As I read it, this submission is about paternity leave and associated Zuckerberg/Facebook, not whether people should have children.
Seems like Unicode is already full of all sorts of stuff that might only be useful to limited groups. Why not add some more - there's space! What would be bad would be adding things that have to be handled differently.

The author only briefly touched on this, but the attempted suicide rate is alarmingly high in this school district. A lot of people here are making light, but something scary is happening there.

I'll try to find a reference....

I don't get it either.

That article hits the issues why I won't buy one.

I'd much rather have a plain old dumb tv and a smart device attached to it. With the same tv, I have been through a Chromecast, a NeoTV, a Roku 2 and a Roku3.

I have kept adding features on to the same old tv.

Also, I'm concerned about EOL issues. A friend of mine had a smart Blu-Ray player, the manufacturer stopped updating the software and when YouTube stopped supporting the version of the app on his device, he was shut out.

It was a minor inconvenience to buy a new Blu-Ray player but if it has been his TV, he'd have to either go buy a new TV or buy an external smart device just to enjoy the same feathers the tv had when he bought it.

Meanwhile, I would have spent less for my dumb tv and smart devices while maintaining a more positive overall experience.
If you have money and no time just outsource to a local meal delivery service that specialises in nutrition. They are about $250-500/mth CAD here depending on what you want (weight loss, gourmet, paleo, vegan ect).
Thanks :)

We've been pretty unstructured so far.

We let the conversation guide the direction of the show, try different approaches, lengths, settings and type of guests, looking for the ways that stick so we can double down and refine them.

We definitely need to invest in better equipment and tighten the gaps in the show. Very accurate advice.

Thanks for listening and many more thanks for the feedback :)
Jobs's birth parents were 23-year-old grad students at the University of Wisconsin, not a population known for being rolling in dough. They decided they were too young to marry and have kids.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution's interior design is quite striking, although I'm completely uneducated in this area. There's an interesting analysis done by an architecture student here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD7519BFFBCE668B2

Interesting to watch. The music of DX:HR is also lovely.
The interesting thing about the case is that as recent as 5-7 years ago people have been finding money with serial numbers matching the ransom payment. More over, the FBI confirmed that the ransom money never entered the circulation again. Honestly, after doing some random research and listening a few radio shows on this subject, it almost seems like Cooper accidentally dropped the money bag but survived the actual parachute landing.
I'd never raise kids here either.

I overheard two coworkers talking a few months ago - one parent saying that she didn't want to send her kids to PALY because she didn't think so much homework and stress was necessary - and referenced the suicide epidemic that's been occurring this year.

Another co-worker responded to her, 100% seriously, "Yea but if they survive, they'll probably get a great job"

It was sickening.
Is this an advertisal for obscure games that were mentioned on the bottom? An article written by someone who apparently knows little about the vast amount of video games. There are so many games that could be mentioned, beside Skyrim and Sims 1(!) (and maybe Ico) the other examples are a joke (read little known non-triple A games). Deus Ex, Gothic, Half Life, No One Lives Forever, Witcher, etc.
Yup. A smart TV makes you find a single product that is both a good A) TV and B) media center/computer or whatever you want to call it. Decoupling the devices makes it easier to shop for the best TV and the best TV media center.
Interesting discussion form another forum recently - about the first thing a vet asks when you take your pet to them is "what have you been feeding them?", yet doctors? This guy had been hospitalized and had a battery of bacterial tests run before anybody asked him about his diet.
I am astounded by the arrogance of you thinking you know his life and situation better than he himself does. And so well that you feel entitled to lecture him in public.
I'm not sure of the specifics but I believe you only get one set of leave a year. I wouldn't recommend having multiple girlfriends and babies (and, to be honest, if you did this going back to work would seem like a much better option).
The Hype is Real
I think that's like saying that pilots spend an inordinate amount of time sitting in their chair making sure that the autopilot is working properly. The remainder is why they get all of the training that they do.
Exactly, my biggest takeaway is "don't write your own unique ID algorithm." At best it does the same as existing methods, at worst you screw it up and end up here.
This is hilarious!
> No no no ... don't lift another project's website directly, it's tacky and will make your project look second-rate.

It's easy to change the look and feel drastically with CSS, while keeping the file structure and HTML layout. It's not any different than downloading or using a website template, which is itself not much different from using a library in any programming language. Standing on the shoulders of giants is a core value of software.

> Why do you insist on dominating the thread like this anyway?

I only mostly replied to people who were in my own comment thread. That's called a conversation.

If I've inserted myself into anything unnecessarily, it's because usability and accessibility are really important to me. I want languages like this to succeed on their merits, rather than suffering due to unfriendly design. Plus I have friends and relatives with visual impairments.
What's your favorite distro, and why? Nov-2015
The first distro that I used full-time was Fedora. That was a good experience. Until Fedora started pushing the "mobile" interface so I switched my laptops and desktops to Crunchbang. (My servers are now CentOS, which I don't have any issues with.)

Since Crunchhbang is no longer maintained, it's getting more difficult to keep up with Debian. The whole concept of "pinning" sources is a little crazy. There was a point where I wasn't sure if my dist-upgrade was completely botched. I was able to get Jessie, but the UI is starting to degrade.

A good friend of mine seems to enjoy Mate + Ubuntu. It seems like a popular OS with a strong community, but I don't really like the idea of Ubuntu using a weird package manager. I'm posting this because I'm at a point where I'm open to suggestions.

Will I continue on with Debian and the continuation of Crunchbang aka Bunsen Labs? https://www.bunsenlabs.org/ Or will I jump on the Ubuntu bandwagon? Or is there something else you recommend that I should look at? I'm mostly thinking about my desktop system, because I have a feeling my next laptop will just be a plain Chromebook. FWIW I like to skin my UI so that everything is "thin" and minimal.

Also, this is not a high priority, but I would like a distro that supports Flash for "TV" shows. Recently my Hulu stopped working because Flash is deprecated or whatever. I followed several tutorials to fix my Flash support for Hulu and nothing worked. But as it's time to overhaul my system anyway, I'll just wait till I switch operating systems.
> What am I missing?

Context. If I'm in a bright room (office), and the last page I visited was black on white (the default/norm on the web), and the page I view after this one will be black on white (most likely), then viewing this one in the middle in white on black is jarring, annoying, inconvenient, distracting, hard to read (because my eyes have to adjust) etc.

If one is in a dark room, and has a custom stylesheet to display all pages in white on black, or if the web were predominantly white on black, then sure it's OK.

I understand that they are rare side effects and the disclosure is required by regulation. But it's creepy. Commercials for candy don't have to warn you that you can choke on it. Even peanut butter commercials don't have to mention peanut allergies.
"So the goal for rockets - for now - could be to become as safe to ride as airplanes are."

If you could build a spacecraft launch system with the weight budget of a commercial airliner, you could get that reliability. The fuel fraction for the Space Shuttle was about 85%; everything else, structure, engines, equipment, and payload, comes out of the remaining 15%. For an airliner, 60% of the mass is non-fuel. Spacecraft are weight-reduced too far to get aircraft reliability. They're just too fragile. Read NASA's "The Tyranny of the Rocket Equation".[1]

Space travel with chemical fuels out of Earth's gravity well is just barely possible at all. Chemical fuels just don't have the energy density to do the job well. It's necessary to launch huge booster stacks to put a dinky payload in orbit. That's why, after 50 years, space flight hasn't progressed all that much.

Without a denser power source, it will never get much better.

Smart TVs don't cost more. And they function just fine as normal TVs. I got a 60 inch Vizio smart TV for about $400 and I'm pretty happy with it. I was pretty skeptical about the Smart TV features, but the built-in Netflix and Amazon Prime apps are actually very convenient and are more user friendly than a Chromecast. I can search, pause, rewind, change episodes, etc. without using my laptop. When the Smart TV features become obsolete, or I switch to a streaming service that's not available, it still has HDMI ports like any TV. As for this privacy concern, a) it can be turned off, and b) it's nothing new; Netflix tracks your viewing habits, Amazon tracks your viewing habits, Facebook tracks your web browsing habits, etc.
When people get old they don't have much in their life other than their family and work, and many workoholics have only their work, case in point Warren Buffet, that's not proof that they would rather not do anything else. Or would've lived their lives differently if they had the chance, and many of them might be too proud to admit it at this point considering that they will soon be gone. It's just that work is the only thing left that makes them feel useful, wanted, and provides some sense of purpose in their lives. They have been so busy in work they don't know what else to do... nor is their body and brain capable of doing much more than what it has done most of its life.

Many rich business people completely quit business and instead do philanthropy, case in point Bill Gates... Zuck's role model? Facebook is not something positive in the lens of history. It's just a big money maker. Maybe it will still be relevant in 20 years, but eventually it will be seen for what it is... as if it's not already. And all that will be left is the money, of which Zuck has more than enough to do much more worthwhile things with his life. Like perhaps philanthropy. Maybe he can really solve some problems before he dies in 40-50 or so years. Of which maybe the 10-20 next ones will be his prime.

What kind of message does it send? Take two months off when you could afford to retire?

If I were in his shoes, I'd sell my shares in that website, take a few years off and then go a little Bill Gates, a little Elon Musk.

Just to be clear SECDED ECC doesn't protect you against row hammer and similar memory disturbance attacks.

DDR4 implemented some mitigation against such attacks as well as some additional soft ECC mechanisms but as these types of attacks are fairly new it's not quite yet clear as how effective they are.
Depends. Animation tends to be about transitions, so you want to transition between elements. For that you need to handle the virtual DOM.

Just to bring up an example from a recently released AAA game: Fallout 4's immersion is absolutely incredible due to the furniture and item design. All of the furniture is designed as if it's from the mid-20th century (with iconic retro radios and televisions) and it's mixed in with this futurist post apocalypse style set in the 23rd century that includes a variety of robots (including human form Cylon-like synths), giant exoskeltons powered by fusion cores, and intelligent robotic dog toys.

Bethesda also added a great (albeit hardly intuitive) base construction feature that allows you to build out dozens of settlements with farms, towns, and even 8-10 story tall skyscrapers which requires raw materials like concrete, steel, aluminum, copper, and adhesives to construct. In order to get these items you have to scrap hundreds of different "junk" objects placed all over the world like coffee cups, random widgets in factories that were in the middle of production when nuclear war hit, typewriters, hot plates, desk fans, cigarettes, children's toys (20th century wooden ones like derby cars and space ships), duct tape, wrenches, and many more every day objects. When you build out your settlements you can even scrap entire collapsed houses, sinks and toilets, cardboard boxes of paper, old rugs and mailboxes, trees, ovens and washing machines and every other obstacle short of bushes and rock outcrops. The result is a world that feels real, not because of any one specific feature but because everything just flows so well together from the furniture to the ineractive junk to the desolate landscape.

As any other multi million dollar projects it has its misteps, but I haven't been this impressed by the stylistic design of a game since Morrowind, another Bethesda game, which also had an absurd number of "junk" items that you could pick up and about half a dozen very distinctive architectural and furniture styles (with their own extensive lore!)
I found that theory before I got into the show, it would've been really perfect. Totally fit with his appearance, manner, and history too.
My issue with articles like these is people start to think things like vitamins are a problem in their diets.

They are not!

Vitamins don't matter. They are a religious/marketing gimmick!

The people in these articles are extremes and most likely have bigger issues (and are not HN readers)

Study after study has shown vitamins supplements in rich countries (and hence vitamins in food) don't mater. Yes, the food religious types think pills are different to food. Once again that's just not science, it's (marketing) religion.

As long as you are not in the .1% with extreme issues (Or a few well known exceptions like pregnant, vegan, lacking sunshine), worry about the bigger issues.

What matters is the bad stuff you put into your body like highly refined energy, alcohol, smoke.

Micronutrients only matter for the extreme poor. Which there's a billion of, but once again not HN readers looking at their personal diets.
Please visit the web site for Go language and try to adopt their design because yours simply is not acceptable in every way. I don't wanna click menus just to find out what language paradigms are for your language because I absolutely expect to find them on the first page...
There are pretty simple meals that are healthy, nutritious, and delicious. Eg baked chicken and roasted cauliflower. For that matter, don't hate on most vegetables just because your parents got them canned or cooked them terribly.

eg this tastes amazing, and you're looking at like 2 - 3 minutes of prep time, and makes enough for a couple days. Ditch the thyme if it's a hassle, and you don't have to cut the cauliflower that finely. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/roa...

Baked chicken (buy it skin-on -- it's both cheaper and it retains moisture) is similarly easy to cook. Dump random spices on it, roast. Here's a recipe
http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/baked-chicken-breast/

Most people I find who don't like chicken breast dislike it because someone -- probably parents -- cooked the shit out of it and it was dry as a bone. That's not how chicken breast should taste. If your chicken breast is dry you're overcooking it. Pay the $1 or $2 premium for locally raised, never frozen chicken breasts at your local butcher. You'll taste the difference. Feel free to ask them how to cook it; generally they'll be happy to give you advice.

Sweet potatoes taste great with nothing else and require you to score them and put them in your oven.

Roasted brussel sprouts are similar: prep time 2-3 minutes. Taste great. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/roasted-brusse...

For that matter, get a crock pot. There's dozens of variations of a recipe like this: buy tough meat cut (and hence cheap!), roughly chop some vegetables, put in water in crock pot, let crock pot cook it for 8 hours. Come home to amazing hot food. I'm not exaggerating when I say 10 minutes of prep time, and it's enough food for 2 people to eat 2 large meals each.
That works until manufacturers make a deal with cellular networks. precedent: onstar
You need a big bowl if you want enough calories to make it worth the effort. 1/2 cup oats is only about 40g, so you'd need 13 servings to meet the standard 2000kcal daily requirement (which is too low for anybody who exercises regularly).

I think 100g is a more realistic serving size, and that will spill and make a big mess if you try cooking it in a normal breakfast cereal bowl. I have a bowl about twice that size and I still cover the bowl with plastic wrap to avoid spilling any.
Reason #368 not to have kids. Seriously what state of mind compels people to bring new humans into the world and force them through this gauntlet? I remember being a teenager and the experience sounds even worse today. I think most unborn babies would just not consent to birth if they knew this was ahead of them.
It's very important for the brain to be in a thriving environment where all it's faculties are being used.

For those wondering why not use UUID, most uuid implementation are guaranteed to be unique only when running a single machine. When working on loads of servers without putting any load on a central resource, you can not rely on either uuid or sequential.
I so wich they would call the language something else. It is a useful construct, and using a name appropriate for a project by a 14-year old diminishes it quite a bit.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate careful use of profanity as one of the linguistic instruments, but this is tasteless and unnecessary.
Source? I do not recall anything about DB Cooper in regards to the money other than the money that was found in the river in the 1980s and was later sold in 2008. And that has been the only source of serial numbers matching the ones found in ransom.

I think it's the right thing to do. If you don't take everything he does upside down, this can't possibly be bad. I believe he chose the number wisely without making it too short, which would send a message across taking a full leave is not such a good idea, or making it too long only reminding everyone that he is the one.
Hopefully he can delegate and has trust in this. A lot of managers, even senior, can't. It is a skill.
As delicious as it is, you really shouldn't have liver regularly because it has very high amounts of Vitamin A, which is toxic. Liver from certain animals, like Polar Bears, has enough Vitamin A to kill you in a single meal.
> Much more significant than nationalism is the fact that SpaceX is a private enterprise.

So were Douglas, Grumman, North American and Rocketdyne. Those were the companies that put men on the Moon.

So too is Orbital Science, which has been launching satellites on a commercial basis for 30 years.

There's nothing 'significant' about the status of SpaceX as a company.

UUID v4 seems to be based on random numbers, so should be "as good" as whatever scheme they were trying to hand roll here. Additionally, the uuid npm library uses crypto.randomBytes, which is cryptographically secure.

Counter argument. Usability does not have to be number one. There are lots of programming languages out there. What if one had a unique take on a website? It's healthy for people to try new takes on things.

I laud the approach. I think it looks cool and on first glance makes me think, "wow, this doesn't look like it was made by engineers who only think practically, maybe I'll go further to see if there are some unique ideas in the language itself".

In other words, don't speak like there is only one true way to do things, especially when you're critiquing someone else's work. (this last statement is slightly in jest as I'm doing the same to you!)
I completely agree. I really want to talk about bf interpreter I wrote in Python, but I always shy away not being able to spit its name.
