Disney markets to young people. It is the young people that grew up watching videos on the Internet instead of TV so they are more likely to be cord cutters.

My own son quit watching Cable TV and watches Youtube for free and then Netflix with his Uncle's account.

We might just cut out our Cable TV service and buy a Roku box or something and keep the Internet part. Buy a Tivo HD DVR that uses digital over the air channels for local TV.

The odds are bad because most people don't know how to design gameplay at all. They're just trying to copy a some combination of other games they like, adding with some random completely untested hypotheses on top of that, and hoping the result has gameplay that can be tweaked during playtesting into something that doesn't suck. It's really hard to actually find fun games amongst the sea of $3.99 and $13.99 garbage.

If everyone was making good games, I think the market would grow and there would be lots of hits.

Identity Is an Inside Joke: Why we laugh with our friends
No. Imagine tomorrow a new RFC suggest to use the reserved bit for something meaningful. Any implementation that check that bit and drop the packet if the bit is 1 is broken immediately, even if it is not impacted.

True story, some years ago I had to design a protocol for remote configuration using text messages. We used a char to send the status in a compact format but in the first version we used only the first 3 bit and we specified that all the other bit should be zero (we have done so in order to have a predictable default in the future and also to increase the readability of the logs). After few months in the field we noticed that using an additional bit would be useful. Don't want to go into many details, not a problem if the bit is ignored but nice to have to simplify the operations. We updated the protocol, issued the new specs, the vendors develop the new version, we test the new version and surprise: the IOT between the new server and the old client was broken. Why? Because the designer the implementer of the client was to strict on the must be zero clause and decided that a packet with a one was a corrupt packet and should be dropped.

The result was a slow campaign of firmware upgrade and a 1 year delay of introduction of the new protocol. And it was a closed system where we had full control of clients and servers. Imagine what happens with open systems.

By the way, it is an application of this principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle

I'm a software developer who's built the tech for a few startups, mostly in ad-tech, and now a founder of a new ad network focused on making better ads and changing the ecosystem (especially fun since everyone hates ads).

In between past startups, I worked for boutique software firms making custom software for x-ray machines, vaults used in banks and jewelry manufacturers, and even machine vision tech used in movie production.
Considering how much "Hacker News" posts about "OFMG, GOVMENT SPY ON US" like every damn day, is it surprising to see the red tape that the political opinion has caused?

Absolutely. This is all the fault of the anti-surveillance lobby, and nothing to do with the fact that separate political jurisdictions get to exercise their own autonomous decision making or anything stupid like that.

TLDR for Google's New Search Quality Rater's Guidelines
But in Python, to do currying, you either use decorators, functools.partial, or forced early binding (like nested function factories), etc. Just because currying is a thing you can do in the language (in a much different way than in Haskell where it is fundamental to every function) doesn't seem like a good reason to me to adopt Haskell-like type signatures.

Just for example, in Python it's extremely common to use default arguments, and in fact a lot of stuff in the typing module exists to make it easier to do something like make an Optional type that can either be `None` or a `str` or something. So whatever type signature you're going to mimic from Haskell, you won't be able to give optional types or default arguments without making it totally un-Haskell. And of course no one is going to go off and change Python to work based on Haskell-like type classes (nor should they).

Ask HN: What are you thankful for?
I'm most thankful for my family - every day is interesting with a four year old in the house.

I'm also thankful that my dad gave me a love of computers at a young age, and helped me see how we could use them to make people's lives better. I love that we have powerful tools at our fingertips, and we have the opportunity to make world-changing software while sitting in our living rooms.

What are you thankful for?

Thanks for your insight. I think the problem with a lot of educational programs (not all, though) is that they intend to replace live instruction. In my ideal world, computers would always remain _supplementary_ to the instructor.

The idea of what a 'computer' is to most people is disappointing to me. More people should see computers as thinking machines, as machines that allow us to extend the reach and complexity of our own thoughts. They are not word processors or spreadsheets, and they certainly aren't multiple-choice answer facilitators. While they prove useful in those regards, the real power is in the mind of the bit manipulator: the student.

I think that if we start using computers as facilitators to learning, rather than replacements for instruction, we'll see a lot of students become more interested in learning. Concepts are very difficult to understand from a book, so blackboards were invented. However, blackboards are very static, so it takes a lively animator to control it. However, it's foolish to believe that every teacher wants to be outstanding. Computers offer us a chance to go one step further than the blackboard, without much additional effort from the instructor.

Visualization is a key problem. There needs to be a way to visualize things on a computer with almost zero learning curve. Blackboards are so much simpler than learning the syntax of a programming language. Bret Victor's work on Drawing Dynamic Visualizations is a step in the right direction.

Students should be using computers to explore the nature, and the best way to do that is by having them build models and simulations. Live classroom instruction should be supplemented with these tasks, to allow students to figure things out on their own. That builds a deeper understanding of problems, and allows students to see connections between things.

I agree, it's a matter of content. However, it's not that the content isn't entertaining enough, it's that it isn't participatory enough.
I work for a B-Corp consultancy that works exclusively with non-profits. We implement databases and the general motto is "help you take control of your data". My portfolio is currently all supportive housing organizations in San Francisco (though we are a Seattle firm). We work primarily on the Salesforce platform, thanks to their deep deep discounts and grants to non-profits.

I love my job, because it's a great blend between strategic work and technical work. Since our clients are often running shoe-string operations that have evolved instead of been designed, a lot of my job is convincing the client that they could change their process instead of paying me to build a feature.

I also get a lot of time to work on open source projects. There's a quickly growing open source community for non-profit software on the Salesforce platform.

I used to work as a professional union stagehand, programming and operating projection and media systems for musicals. I loved that job, but the work wasn't stable and the hours sucked.
Many non-profits pay perfectly fine living wages.

PHP is still a dynamic language. PHP 7 gets us scalar typehinting support, which lets us check types at run-time. There are similar annotation based solutions for Ruby as well, which ultimately rely on a lot of Ruby's metaprogramming features. The idea behind these solutions is to have proper type support where you need it.

You will have to pry duck-typing from my cold dead hands if you try to remove it from PHP/Ruby completely.
The silent reading comment is very interesting. I'm currently reading Augustine's Confessions, and it's quite interesting. Augustine makes very modern observations of a very ancient society. For example, when he first describes Ambrose of Milan he finds it remarkable that Ambrose reads silently rather than out loud. It seems like the norm in ancient Rome was to read out loud, even in private.

Is this true? I thought it was just a standard OEM key. The license wouldn't let you install it legally except on an OEM system, but I don't think there's checks in place in the installer to ensure it.

On newer computers there isn't a sticker at all since the license is stored on the hardware and pulled by the installer automatically.

I don't know about one huge pod, but it shouldn't be much of a stretch to do something similar using "unit load devices" (containers) similar to those used on freighter aircraft.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_load_device

One could imagine each of these containing about half a dozen rows of seats. Board them from each end, and you have almost eliminated the bottlenecks of people standing in aisles loading overhead bins. They are then loaded out to the aircraft.

This would greatly simplify terminal architecture as well since you don't need complicated articulated jetways or parking aprons for a lot of planes close to the building.

Even without Ublock, Firefox Android supports extensions, so I can toggle an image blocker extension during those lean times when I'm close to hitting my monthly data cap.

Unfortunately, I've found that Firefox is a bit slower to render pages than Android Chrome, and scrolling experience sometimes feels janky. That said, it's unlikely that Android Chrome will ever support ad blocking, so Firefox will stay on my device.
That's not revolt. I would imagine it's a pretty universal feeling when you work for something and are forced to give X percent of it to someone else. Chris Rock has a pretty good rant on the subject.
The kids today are "cable nevers"; cord-cutters are folks who got rid of existing accounts. I'm in my late 40s, but cut the cord about 9 years ago.

I think the cutters are worse for the industry then the nevers. Not only did they lose me as a customer, but I taught my kid that cable is unnecessary. I'm not sure how they are going to convince him to buy cable when he moves out.
Just stating another thing worth mentioning.. that is all :)
Definitely an impressive feat. I really, really, really wish it had on-board Wi-Fi though. At least that would make it a useful web server.

The way it's designed now, it's kind of unusable for anything useful without making it a 3X larger package. Add a Wi-Fi dongle and the converter from regular to micro-USB is about the size of the board itself. And since it only has 1 USB port, you'll need a full-blown hub to connect any other stuff like sensors, keyboards, or whatnot.
This patent is not going far enough, and as mentioned, the tech isn't designed yet.

What you want is to open the nose of the plane, dock to the terminal, and slide out all the seats right into a controlled access room in the terminal waiting area, expanding the row to row distance by an extra foot. Flush those passengers out.

New passengers enter the enclosed room, and can all get to their comfortably spaced rows and seats from the outside at the same time, no center isle queuing needed. Once seated, slide all the seats back into the plane, undock, close the nose, and depart.

Between Boeing's existing nose design and the roller coaster industry, this is all existing tech.

Carry-on luggage definitely is not standardized; each airline has its own rules [1]. And if you're on a commuter plane like a Bombardier CRJ, you'll be lucky if you can fit anything into the overhead bin.

Agreed. Erstwhile ad-free websites like BBC News for example now have an annoying full-page ad on mobile with a requisite tiny "Close" button. The worst part is, the news article loads before the ad, so you can see the article text and image for ~1 second before the screen flashes white and the full-page ad loads. That's a fail on so many levels, it's far simpler to view the site on on Firefox Android with Ublock Origin enabled.

BTW I have the BBC news site whitelisted on desktop because the ads are not nearly as intrusive and UX-breaking.
Tax is not just based on the price. If the fact that you were getting it for free were good enough to avoid import taxes, everyone would just have friends in other countries send them 'gifts'.
Update on Zano drone project and use of funds
Agreed. With self-driven cars, you can imagine scenarios like hand-offs, where you ferry multiple passengers at a discounted rate over a common leg of a trip, and then they transfer to separate cars to go the last leg of their journey to their separate destinations, also possibly sharing with other passengers interested in only that leg, who might also be transferring onto new cars to get to their ultimate destination. You can basically specify your tolerance (100ft to 1mi) for walking and thus allow even steeper discounts and more travel options for the self-driving cars.

You can hit occupancy and distance-traveled efficiency with this that we've never come close to before, and if the pricing is sexy enough by comparison (and it should be), it's going to be the option most people use, because most people can barely pay their bills. They will still be saving time over waiting on bus transfers, which are incredibly slow by comparison.
The embedded YouTube video extends the article. It's worth a listen if the article was interesting.
Yeah. IMO, the particular color scheme matters. I think I'd get much more benefit, vs no highlight, from the color scheme I'm used to, than the one the researchers chose (somewhat arbitrarily).

This is probably over the top. But why not mirror those file names in /dev/shm/ (memory) and search against that instead? Ex:

# create file structure

find /media -type f -exec touch /dev/shm/{} \;

Then search /dev/shm/ for your files.
I spend approximately 5 minutes per month on payroll - Gusto user (former Microsoft officemate/friend is eng hire #2 there). There may be better tools than Gusto, but it's good enough that I don't think about it.

Another point: running any kind of client service business, to a first approximation, is 100% about getting the right kind of clients. I spent a while a few years ago doing "contracting" for bottom-of-the-barrel Craigslist wannabes and other jokers and it was horrible. Going from being a pure dev employee to contracting because you 'hate office politics' is a route to failure; it requires a lot more planning, especially over cashflow, and client relationships.

> Can I run it off a battery for a significant amount of time (months)?

Depends on how big a battery you're willing to use. In the other thread, someone claimed that the Pi Zero's typical power consumption is about 0.8 watts, so running it for a month would require about 600 watt-hours. That's roughly the energy content of one car battery, or ten Macbook batteries, or about 230 alkaline AAs. A USB wifi adapter would probably add another 0.5-1.0W.

The Raspberry Pi isn't a great option for this kind of long-term low-power application, because it doesn't really have any power management capabilities to speak of. If you can get by with a low duty cycle, you could use additional components to wake up the Pi only when necessary. Less-powerful microcontrollers are more likely to have this functionality built in; for example, TI's Tiva series of ARM Cortex-M4F chips have a "hibernate" mode in which they can draw as little as 5 microwatts.

> Can I use solar power?

Again, it depends. A solar panel that can provide ~1W is not very large or expensive, but that's the rated output under direct sunlight. The actual power available could easily be 10x lower if it's cloudy, or 100x lower under very bright indoor lighting. And presumably you'll still want a battery and charging circuitry to keep things running at light or in low light. It's certainly doable, but the power supply will end up costing a lot more than the Pi itself.
I'll just say that it looks very interesting, and it's the type of thing that might help me to better learn functional programming. I jumped in with Haskell a year or two ago, and while it was interesting, learning it has been a pain because it's so different from imperative programming. Something like this where I can dip a toe in a little at a time in a language I already understand looks appealing. I'm not concerned about efficiency of code in this case, just efficiency of learning the concepts.
And Aaron could have just not kill himself.
Simply not true. A bed was often the first, and most expensive, piece of furniture that a family would own. As firefighting at the time mostly consisted of getting the things that can burn out of a building, and the bed was big and valuable, firefighters of the late 1700s would carry a "bed key" for quickly disassembling the family bed to get it out of the burning building.

A bed was more than just a bunch of rough-hewn sticks at this time, and a well-made bed would have metal supports and fasteners as well as crafted ornementation and design.

No one who could possibly afford to buy a decent bed was walking out into the woods and cutting down trees for that purpose...
Those keys used for Win7 used to be locked to a specific hardware vendor and could be used on any other machine from that hardware vendor (given same edition of Windows). This was done by special tables inserted in the BIOS, so to crack it you could actually patch your BIOS to emulate any vendor or use a bootloader which would emulate this. Only vendor-specific key + the table in the bios = unlocked Windows when using these keys.

I hear they've changed it on newer ones and pirates have switched almost entirely to KMS activation server emulation, so I assume something's different in Win8+.
