What qualifies as, "able to work" and "actively seeking work" are pretty subjective and there are some prominent examples where these rules are in place and easily gamed.

The most notable example that comes to mind is the rampant fraud in the US Social Security Disability fund where there is a cottage industry in certifying people as disabled and unable to work when they are in fact not. The problem has gotten so bad that the fund has been paying out massively more than it has been taking in in recent years (30 Billion in 2014 for example) and will be insolvent within the next year.

Even enterprise SSDs like Samsung's have a guarantee like "10 years or up to x TB of written data". So if you write a lot you can lose the guarantee after a year even with enterprise SSDs.
I moved to NYC a few months ago, from Long Island, and I have been experiencing morning headaches. If I look at my sleep logger app, I notice that after around 5-6 AM, my sleep quality goes way down and moves into mostly light sleep, almost no deep sleep or REM. There's definitely something to be said about how street noise affects our sleep patterns.

For me, I'll have to try using earplugs more, but the stress on my ears isn't so nice because I'm a side sleeper. I wish I could just go to bed earlier, but I work on a remote team which is half in LA, and it would be counterproductive if I wasn't able to stay up past 10-11 PM... not to mention my schedule would conflict with that of my friends and roommates.
Hah, nice to see I'm not the only non-crazy person here.
Well, strictly speaking if your having to explain the structure of your URLs then it's not really fully REST (because of HATEOS) and I don't think there is any requirement for a RESTful interface to return JSON.

But having said that I've got the point where I don't really care - if I can interact with an API from curl without too much difficulty I don't care if the API is fully REST or not.
You forgot Dovecot.
Why not just write that on the menu? One of the best (and highest rated) restaurants near me often features a rant at the bottom of the menu from the owner, either about politics or the economics of the business or just complaining about the customers being douchebags. It's a little quirky, but it doesn't seem to hurt business any, and at least helps the customers understand his perspective on things.
more restrictions => the less freedom.

Which means liberal licenses pr def are more free.
Laundry Day – iOS app
Automi: Stream Processing Over Go Channels
Care symbol reader.

This app will help you with your laundry. You can scan your laundry tags and app will tell you how to wash your clothes. It works like magic, but no, it is a technology!

In case of bad light conditions you can manually choose symbols from the list. Lot of tips regarding washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional care are included. There is a really detailed description how to wash your laundry and how to wash some kind of fabrics.

Everyone should have this app! If you are really sure you will not use it, you should buy it to your mom.
I took "Learning How to Learn" [1] early this year, and can recommend it. Very well presented on how to learn effectively. Most of the strategies were not new to me, put it was still good with a refresher. And it was a quick and easy course to take. I watched all the lectures on my phone while commuting to and from work.

I don't see anything non-RESTy about your former example (and would argue it's a BETTER protocol design).

Imagine we want to change the state of light 7 (and only light 7).

A PUT/PATCH of "ON" "OFF" (or 1 or 0 or a float for a dimmer) to http://raspberry1.local/lights/7 to change the status of light 7 is better IMO than doing a GET to http://raspberry1.local/lights and then a PUTS/PATCH to that same URL to update all lights status for the purpose of just updating one light. The latter is obviously fragile in the face of multiple writers (you'll lose updates on overlapping but not colliding writes-an update to light 6 that overlaps in time with light 7 can result in the earlier of those updates being lost when there's no inherent reason for it).

What qualifies as, "able to work" and "actively seeking work" are pretty subjective and there are some prominent examples where these rules are in place and easily gamed.

I don't disagree, but as retort to the blanket Friedman quote, it's valid, because those problems are orthogonal to immigrants; actually, I seem to recall that the natives are disproportionately represented in welfare fraud, but I don't have my sources to hand.

I thought in females half of X chromosomes are deactivated as to not producing conflicting similar proteins. If the extra cone gene is on the deactivated half, then it is not produced.
It is suggested that imperfect deactivation leads to female increased occurrence of autoimmune syndromes over males.
I refuse to buy an ebook if the price is more than the cheapest new, paperback price. I'll either buy the paperback or just not buy it. Usually the latter.
Why not take a more flexible approach, and use a computer instead?
This is exactly what I do - I have vague goals which I work towards with creative steps, eg 'take a couple of hours to think about what next with my open source project' and let my mind wander within that.

GTD deals explicitly with the creative process and how it helps by clearing your mind in an early chapter.

iOS and Mac users willingly chose shiny over free. They never had a free OS, merely one built on some free components.

Re parasites: do you mean people and companies who use OSS without giving (enough) back, like most of us?
I agree that it looked good at the time far as open stuff goes. I looked at it in terms of INFOSEC research. I followed all the attempts to make high-security, microkernel platforms based on it and variants. These included Trusted Mach (TMach), Distributed TMach, DTOS, and so on. That line of research led to Flask architecture, bases of SELinux. It also fed into decisions by Cambridge team to do capability-based, app sandboxing with Capsicum vs prior methods like MAC & microkernels. That's been applied to FreeBSD, CheriBSD, and Apple's stuff.

So, there were lots of interesting papers and work on it. Anyone could've gotten sucked in. After a while, though, it became clear that Mach was a bad track with research shifting to L4 and commercial microkernels (esp RTOS, sep kernels). Torch passed to groups like Dresden and NICTA.

Why Information Grows is probably the best one I read this year.

It's fairly ambitious and sets out to link information theory, the emergence of life, evolution and economic growth all in one coherent story. It doesn't quite hit the mark as it becomes a bit too abstract towards the end, but the first 3 chapters are the best story of how information theory fits into thermodynamics and the emergence of life. It's also the best summary of Ilya Prigogine's work I've read (including, ironically, Prigogine's own books)

Browsing in ebooks is terrible, at least on my Kindle. I consider text books basically unreadable as ebooks (including on iBooks on a Mac).

Fiction I always prefer as physical books anyway. Only use Kindle for traveling — the weight and small size is the only advantage.
That's kind of a weak argument because the inverse can be said about good technical discussions.
Man, that is super cool. There are so many really interesting Haskell compilers. Besides those that target JavaScript, you have (on the other extreme) Haskell to hardware compilers like clash or Lambda-CCC.
Just a note ... we use SSDs as write cache in ZFS at rsync.net and although you should be able to withstand a SLOG failure, we don't want to deal with it so we mirror them.

My personal insight, and I think this should be a best practice, is that if you mirror something like an SLOG, you should source two entirely different SSD models - either the newest intel and the newest samsung, or perhaps previous generation intel and current generation intel.

The point is, if you put the two SSDs into operation at the exact same time, they will experience the exact same lifecycle and (in my opinion) could potentially fail exactly simultaneously. There's no "jitter" - they're not failing for physical reasons, they are failing for logical reasons ... and the logic could be identical for both members of the mirror...
I don't think it is really funny. Hacks like this is how progress is delayed. Because why innovate when you can rely on "hacks that provably work in the real world"?
First thought:

The usual pattern is that only one X chromosome gets transcribed in any given cell.[1] This keeps the dosage of all those proteins correct. Otherwise there would need to be a separate set of dosage controls for XX and XY people.

The inactivation occurs pretty early in life, and when cells replicate they keep the inactivation. This results in macroscopic regions of the body with consistent inactivation. Usually this isn't noticeable, but in cats coat pigment is on the X chromosome, and heterozygous cats often show "tortoiseshell" or "calico" coloring. The patches of contiguous color there are larger than a retina.

So it seems entirely likely that all the cells in a human woman's retina would use the same X chromosome.

On the other hand, that predicts half of het women would be colorblind, which isn't observed. So maybe not so simple...

I have a second thought about downstream neural hookups and the mechanisms for those, but it'll have to wait for later.

REST seems to be an API design pattern, rather than a spec.

You can't build a standard REST client since there is no spec, but you can build a libraries that mostly work, since you can identify the pattern quickly.
Why Do I Have to Call This App ‘Julie’?
The Mobility Myth (2014)
Scientists are looking at direct delivery of gene therapy to retinal cells to cure serious eye diseases like macular degeneration, pigmentosa blindness, etc. Should this work well, then the next step would be lesser conditions like male color blindness. I read of some successful attempts to give dicromatic animals, genrally carnovoires, the trichromatic gene directly to the retina. These subjects can be tested by giving rewards hidden in standard color blindess test images.

The next step, more controversial, would be super-vision of tetrachromacity, perhaps infra-red and ultra-violet sensitivity. Night vision glasses no longer needed for enhanced soldiers.

It won't work better if you give candidates so many tasks that they think, "why bother?" and go for another easier job application process instead. People have other commitments, and we are often told there is a shortage of developers.

I have told potential employees as much after they asked for a sample of my work (which I had made available for that purpose), and they after that, they still wanted a three hour exercise done before I had even spoken to anyone.

In fact I am about to start a new job in the new year, I had a few interviews, and a couple of jobs that interested me sufficiently. One involved a three hour test, the other asked for a sample for my work.
Guess which one I took?
Guess which one the interviewer said they were struggling to find candidates?
The key is that which X chromosome is deactivated is not the same in all cells.

It does occurs fairly early in the development process (a stage called gastrulation), and the deactivation does persist for all cells that descend from a given cell present. But critically, it's late enough that a retina could conceivably possess cells descending from two different "lineages".

You can actually visibly see the "resolution" of the deactivation by looking at tortoiseshell cats. Each blotch of orange/black represents one cell present at the deactivation stage.
This would make a good "Show HN:". Consider posting a direct link with that in the title. Add additional information as a comment after posting.

On my laptop, the call to action fills the screen from top to bottom. The Facebook, Twitter, etc. links signal a footer. The first time I visited, I didn't realize there was more if I scrolled down.

"Join the WriterVerse" may be a better call to action than "Say Goodbye to Writer's Block". The times I pathologize my non-writing as writer's block are pretty rare. The times I look to connect with other people are common.

Are there really thousands of authors? I don't see evidence. Is that really a selling point? One or two people who care seems like a better value proposition. That's something that could be done in a non-scaling way by founders.

This looks like a chicken and egg problem. Charging for a pre-launch is tough. Once I am paying, why should I review other people's work.

It seems like publishing is beyond a minimum viable product. What's the evidence for expertise?

My advice: Limit the scope. Make a few users happy. Build a community. Skip the growth hacking.

Good luck.
it does, yes.

It's not dereferencing NULL that causes the segfault, its the actual reading or writing of the memory at the invalid address. So, ignoring undefined behavior etc, "* ptr;" doesn't actually generate a load or store since its not really doing anything, but "x = * ptr;" or "* ptr = x;" would. You can also see similar behavior when calling a non-virtual member function on a NULL pointer, the crash doesn't occur until the function actually tries to access some data on "this".

This is all with the caveat that the actual behavior depends on the system and compiler as many others have pointed out.
Same here in germany. If the neighbor accepts the package, the parcel service notes his/her name on the receipt, so the responsibility has been handed to the neighbor.

If the neighbor "looses" the package, the loss can be enforced against him.

One alternative is to allow the parcel service to put the parcel in a safe space (e.g. throw it over the fence ;). Only if you allow the parcel service to do that, they will do it, because only then they are not responsibly for what happens to the package once they've put it in the "safe space".

The best invention in parcel servicing over the last few years are so called Packstationen (package stations), big cupboards with large lockable compartments. The parcel service places the packages there, sends you a text with a mobile TAN, you get the package from there whenever you have time (within the next 2 weeks or so, then it's being sent back). They are placed all over larger towns.

On top of that you can only get some ebooks from one reseller if you use that vendors reader device because that reseller doesn't support their app on newer versions of Windows any more.

Seriously Barnes and Noble, lots of Nooks are going to be replaced with iPads and Windows tablets. Trying to create a closed ecosystem for the nook by making it hard for me to get my purchased Nook Books on other devices isn't going to change that.
In my experience, the hands-on factor of physical hardware is just so much more fun.

+1 for Sapiens. Good overview of the histroy of humanity, and I especially liked the theory of how shared beliefs enable cooperation among larger groups.

The example of "The Legend of Peugeot" was also great: does the company Peugeot actually exist, can you point to what it is. No, it only exists as a shared belief.

Also, Jeeves is great :-)

You know, at the risk of heaping on the negativity, I read their Yelp ratings and while some are excellent, others are genuinely a sign of a restaurant in crisis.

Consider the gentleman from New Zealand who made reservations via an email to the owner five weeks in advance, spent the afternoon walking around downtown LA to avoid rush hour traffic, and then showed up only to be told that they were closed for a wine tasting. Or, there was the reviewer who got the point of the restaurant, but still found the flavours rather difficult. Or heck, consider the endless comments about how poor the service was.

I take a couple of things away from this:

- No matter how interesting your product is, you still need to please your customers.

- When you're emotionally invested in something, it is tempting to set aside criticism as being gratuitously negative. But, sometimes your critics are your best advisers.

This does raise the question of whether the US government is foolish enough to use insecure US made electronics. And I suppose answers it.
There's a reason south park riffed on this in the latest season.

Everyone thinks their opinion is important because the internet has made it easy for people to broadcast their complaints to the world (and yes, I realize I'm literally doing this right now). Review sites like Yelp exacerbate this by making everyone think they're a damn food critic.

Throw in a heavy dose of entitlement and its a recipe for disaster.
I claim this is all highly unhelpful. Both the C and C++ standards explicitly permit an implementation to do something sensible in the face of undefined behaviour, the sort of thing that a regular user of the system in question might expect. It's a bit unclear to me why compiler authors don't just do that. Undefined means exactly what it says, nothing more, but people seem to love this idea that it has to be some kind of here-be-dragons nightmare scenario.

The industry is moving toward a mid-point of having the flash translation layer still implemented on the drive so that it can present a normal block device interface, but exposing enough details that the OS can have a better idea of whether garbage collection is urgently needed: http://anandtech.com/show/9720/ocz-announces-first-sata-host...

Moving the FTL entirely onto the CPU throws compatibility out the window; you can no longer access the drive from more than one operating system, and UEFI counts. You'll also need to frequently re-write the FTL to support new flash interfaces.
