After reading these books I am now able to successfully create new habits.
Last year I tried to get into a habit of reading good books and was able to read around 40 good books ( twice of what I had planned)
Humanizing Your UI, or Interactive Is the New Cool
It's disheartening to see that Matthew Yglesias has book, with an economic argument no less, that is incredibly popular here on HN. He's been discredited by many economists from the left/right/libertarian. That is, when his arguments aren't simply ad hominems.

If you've read this book, do yourself a favor and read some refutations. Or do one better, and learn economics so you can think about these issues clearly.

I've got both Plex and Infuse Pro. Infuse will play anything, without transcoding, and not complain about AC3 or DTS like VLC does. Plex has a better UI though, so I use it whenever I know that it works with the content I want, like certain series.

Its by far the best media streamer experience I've had so far.
TLDR: Given any Turing Machine you can build a Recurrent Neural Network that does the same thing.

You can then apply known facts about Touring machines, e.g. Halting Problem, so you can't generally predict when the neural network is gonna get to the final state.
> The strength of this password scheme is that it works even assuming the attacker knows your dictionary.

Indeed. Arguing about whether or not your dictionary is "unique" enough is a red herring. Whatever generator you use should accounts for the dictionary's word entropy, not for the theoretical per-byte entropy.
or, even easier to understand analogy: Daniel is the person on the photograph, Spotify/Instagram are the photographers and the hacker is the person who just stole the picture.
If you just needed to find two bits of ground with room for rocket pads and one 2300 miles east of the other it really wouldn't be that hard to have both in the continental US. It's the fact that the whole flight path has to be safe that makes it virtually impossible.
Well can we simulate a violin? If so, it seems we could run an optimization algorithm (genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, etc.) to see if the evolution could be continued. Analogous to machine evolved antenna designs (where NEC is the simulator).

It's interesting that pre-electronic instrument design was pretty much all about increasing loudness.
>Has anyone else wondered why Stephen hasn't upgraded his voice? Maybe it is his signature of sorts.

That's exactly what he's stated publicly - it's so widely recognised it's part of his identity.
Sure, they have access to the schedule, but seldom does someone want their calendar being filled up and someone else deciding what their priorities are.

So it ends up being more about having a status symbol.
It's not just happening on XB1. I am seeing that on Ps4 and even on iPad.

Try looking for genres and separating tv shows from movies in Netflix on any of those platforms if you don't know what we are talking about.
Instagram support is an utter joke, accounts are routinely stolen/disabled and Instagram doesn't offer much support besides a pat on the shoulder and a "there there"
I'm not sure what platform you are on, but on osx I use iTerm.

Under Profiles > Colors there is a slider for Contrast. Dragging that to High will fix the problem at night [1]. I just have a different profile set for those late-night coding sessions with flux.

As a hiring manager who has hired from boot camps, I view boot camps simply as an organized medium to encourage career change into tech. They are not unlike undergraduate computer science programs - neither program is required to start a career in tech, but some people need organization and a clear path to get there.

Sometimes a little guidance and networking enables an individual to excel where they might otherwise find themselves lost. Boot camps can provide this stability, as long as the program isn't misguided.

In the end, it's down to the individual to make their career. I would never hire blind from a boot camp.
The article says "Sidecar’s inability to compete in the arena it helped create demonstrates the market power and tenaciousness of Uber...".

What it doesn't say is that Uber is headed by a white guy, whereas Sidecar was run by a couple of Indian guys. It is clear why they weren't funded more.
A lot of time sexual harassment == someone i'm not attracted to flirting with me. If it was a 6 foot handsome guy then it would be highlight of the week.
I do agree that one persons success with something (getting a job, losing weight etc) isn't a very good prediction on most people's result using the same technique. And yes, I don't think all aspiring developers should do a bootcamp either. It wont replace a CS degree, and there are tons of ways to become a developers just using online tools/courses.

My motive with this article isn't to encourage more people to go to bootcamps, but help those who want to go do bootcamps do better research before they apply, as there are a lot of bad bootcamps out there.

Given the lack of web developers and demand for the skill, I don't doubt that some schools have 90 percent hiring rate.
I have seen anti-EU folks in the UK supporting the Polish governments attempts to limit press freedom simply because it was the EU that was complaining about it!
Those aren't responses, those are filler comments to give the illusion of action.

I will definitely be keeping an eye on Nim. That aside, does anyone else find the fact that Nim treats "-1" differently to "- 1" (quotes added for clarity) a bit disconcerting?
OpenFace: Free and open source face recognition with deep neural networks
It's great to start a consulting activity too
Yes, people certainly love that quote because it means that can simply dismiss anyone who doesn't think the same way they do with having to do any critical thinking on their part to understand the actual reasons they disagree.

That's the reason I haven't bothered with Prometheus - pull systems make no sense to me since you have to configure a single place with perfect* knowledge of your system rather than just pushing local knowledge to a collector.

(Ok, you do need some knowledge at the parent if you want to raise alerts but you'd need that anyway.)
> perhaps the offender was picking up on signals that weren't there.

Who would ask his love interest to sit on his lap at work?

Do you really think that this is appropriate for even lovers in the workplace?

Even if there was something going there between them, it's unprofessional to flirt and fool around while working. Call me old school or what but we have weekends and off-work hours for these types of activities and everyone should make use of them accordingly.
Here is more context for those rumors: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/crytek-lays-off-staff-after....

Crytek did not pay their Austin based studio employees for several months before the studio was officially shutdown. I have worked with several people who had worked at Crytek USA for the duration of its existence and their stories left me with a very poor impression of the stability and integrity of Crytek as a business.

It would be good to see Crytek turn things around - they were at one point technology leaders in game development - but I have my doubts that VR represents the right opportunity to do that, at least in the short term.

And also according to the dictionary, which defines the word "victim" as:

"One who is harmed by or made to suffer under a circumstance or condition: e.g. victims of war; victims of an epidemic; victims of poverty."

Unless you believe she enjoyed the attentions of men, that is. In which case you would be correct.
That depends on how good the error messages are. I can't see it being a common problem, but if there was a typo, I can imagine it being quite hard to find without an error message clearly indicating.
I just looked at that hyperaccusis website and that "sssh" animated globe graphic in the top left is incredibly annoying, and somewhat ironic given the subject matter. Some kind of a joke I guess, but I can't scroll it off and it makes the page impossible for me to read!
The most ironic thing here is that the current CEO of Apple is the guy who was so focused on the bottom line at Apple while Jobs was the running company, he forced many of the suppliers to guarantee certain production goals at insanely low labor rates to maximize profits.

If you want someone to demonize, you don't have to look very far.
On my SaaS application's file submission page, I have a small paragraph directed toward administrators along the lines of: If you'd like to batch upload your files, download curl from (haxx.se url), and use the following command line, bla bla bla.

Having this link to "haxx.se" is a relatively high volume source of comments by my users.
I did not; I feel I'm only judged by the work I do, not my background.

Though the transition was a bit hard, as our product & codebase is much bigger than what I was used to. Plus there's so much setup and various tools being used in the codebase which I don't really know anything about.

Compared to my projects at Founders and Coders, where I pretty much knew most of the codebase of our projects.

As for the actual coding; my React & Javascript learning curve has been steep, but manageble. If you'll get from 0 to half professional, you're also able to go from half professional to professional.

Good point. My point is that if HR were to retaliate against the employee, HR would open the company to a far greater amount of risk.

I think the point should be not to trust HR with the only copies of any documents or evidence. Again, I would argue that if HR does the steps you suggest, they are exposing themselves to much more risk than if they did pretty much anything else. Not to say they wouldn't do it, but that it would be a foolish thing to do.
I'm seriously tired of dealing with passwords. With the availability of email on everything including your toaster. Every site should offer token based authentication. I used passwordless on my last side project, and it's super convenient.
That's what the Prometheus push gateway is for. While prom itself is poll-based, you can extract data from servers behind a firewall by pushing metrics from an agent into the gateway. No crazy issues.

We've been using Riemann since 2013 and love it!

If you're coming from Nagios (or not), and you'd like something that will schedule Nagios event scripts (and others) and send them to Riemann, I have been using this in production since mid-2013: https://github.com/bmhatfield/riemann-sumd

It allows you to tap into the huge ecosystem that is Nagios monitors, without requiring any other Nagios component at all. It just translates the output into a Riemann event.

The BBC article doesn't say much, and probably raises more questions than it answers. However, it is worth reading the government publication it links to, which was published today. Link is https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/distributed-ledge... , or more directly https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm... . This publication does answer some of the questions in these comments.
Women should stand up and stop calling themselves victims.
I'm sure that's some of it, but I suspect the bigger factor is that some of the other international carriers put a bigger emphasis on customer service. I don't thing being young, college-educated, or female matters nearly as much as working for an organization that prides itself on customer service.
Which is why I quoted the third point, as it covers both the OP and the Women In Tech survey

It would be an extremely narrow definition to attempt to carve out unwanted sexual advances, especially from a superior, in a workplace not being sexual harassment.
You simply can't in good faith compare the averages of the two groups because the range is different. You are treating a range of people from destitute trailer park residents to Bill Gates as a homogeneous group.
What’s New in the Dietary Guidelines
Interesting that the general public perception is that corporations in the US "pay no tax" but simultaneously corporations are moving elsewhere so they can pay less. I'm not sure which is most correct.
Shameless plug for a series of blog posts that I wrote in 2014 about this dataset. The aim was to demonstrate how to analyze data with Spark and Python, but probably the most interesting two sections turned out to be Outlier analysis (http://blog.caseystella.com/pyspark-openpayments-analysis-pa...) and Benford's Law analysis (http://blog.caseystella.com/pyspark-openpayments-analysis-pa...)
Going from a web of documents to black boxes that put pixels on the screen is regression plain and simple. Use it when necessary for the things that cannot be otherwise done, but don't ruin a good thing that works fine just because you can. Thanks.
In addition to our "email scheduling" feature, email follow-ups and reminders will be soon available as well. With the latter features and other ones Gmelius currently offers (e.g., To-do App, email trackers detection and blocking, email templates), I'm sure your will find a place for Gmelius in your browser...
This might be a good "Show HN" post.
It's Recurse Center, not Resource Center!
Thank you I really appreciate your feedback! I definitely understand and respect your view on accessibility for those not using Javascript. I was just trying to approach the problem from a different perspective...seeing if there was a way to do accomplish this using just client-side technologies. I'm definitely going to consider looking into fallbacks if they are possible.
We would be curious on your feedback on this, so please be brutally honest ;-)
Everything that has mass, must experience time. That includes electrons, protons, neutrons, which are considered fundamental.

I play double bass, and in Chuck Traeger's book on bass repair, he is pretty blunt: "You get paid to be heard." Loudness is definitely a quality factor with a direct influence on price.

Instruments with a sweet tone quality, but lacking in volume, are a tough sell, and will often be modified to bring out more sound. With the exception of a few museum pieces, the Strads have all been modified over the years to make them louder, with longer necks and shorter ribs.

I suspect the cello edged out the viola da gamba because of volume.

Awesome day: I get to start building a whole new feature on our product, features that'll make a difference for our customers.

No days are actually dreadful, but it's not very fun get assigned to bug fixing. This normally involves digging through old code I know nothing about (in various different files) and trying to understand the functionality and struggle my way through fixing it.
Yuval Noah Harari on Why Humans Dominate the Earth: Myth-Making
And when you say "pulled out of squalor," you really mean "put out of a job."
I'm not in any way trying to wash away history, and I am not trying to imply that women's rights have only decreased since the 50s.

I'm suggesting that there is a larger pattern operating here that is potentially more complicated than "things used to suck; now they are getting better, but not fast enough in STEM."

I agree with you that women are discouraged from entering certain fields. My mother (b. 1941) wanted to be a doctor, and her father didn't see the point. She ended up meeting my father in a German class and falling for him (he was the prof) and she ended up going the route of a German professor.

Of course we know that women are still discouraged from entering certain fields. I'm not arguing that they are not. I'm wondering if there are background signals in play here that drive women out of the fields that they are encouraged to get into.

As for bro culture, it gets chastised because it's toxic by definition, in my experience. Bro culture--to me--is quite a lot more than what you are describing it as. I'm not meek, week, and I'm not lacking in confidence. You can be all those things and still be very far from bro.

It's the stupid, terrible, provide no value, racist, sexist, bigot kind of people who walk around fist bumping and saying things like, "Dude, did we totally rape that bitch into submission, or what?!" when talking about "solving" a "hard" problem that are toxic.

It's the kind of people who think that ping pong tables and free beer make up for an utterly shitty working environment. It's the kind of people who are completely and totally unable to think that some people would want something other than what they want out of a job.

In other words, bro culture is marked by all the things you say it is "chastised" for, but not for those things in themselves. After all, we are all human and exhibit certain elements of all those things in ourselves. Bro culture celebrates stupidity, terrible-ness, sexism, and bigotry--and bro culture is entirely lacking empathy for anyone who is not a part of it.

I'm not saying anything about you or anyone you know. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it. I'm describing the characteristics that people deride when talking about it.

I have no input about majority-women departments. I can certainly see how gossiping and backstabbing is toxic. I'll leave the criticism of those things to people who are in a position to do something about it.

I'm a mid-30s white male technologist. I can do something about bro culture. Not so much I can do about women gossiping and backstabbing.

>I’m Daniel Stenberg, a network hacker working for Mozilla.

Sigh. Why does everyone have to be a hacking rockstar ninja? What's wrong with not using a word that has negative connotations to the rest of the world, and just calling yourself a developer/engineer?
Help me understand how it's not appropriate to directly tell someone who is making it obvious that they are attracted to you that you aren't interested. If you make it known that you aren't interested and the person continues. Then it becomes harassment.

So I refute your position. We all have to set boundaries in our relationships and the author of the article is no exception.
A ML based app to read articles to me in the morning on my way to work may have some commercial success. The ones currently have a hard time reading through an entire article without sounding like an robot, or reading a headline as if it was part of the previous sentence.

That is not true, (fundamental) particles experience time (except massless particles moving at the speed of light). Best example are neutrinos which are, as far as we can tell, fundamental and undergo neutrino oscillations nonetheless.
Doesn't hurt, but as per below comment, they are just much better trained to provide attentive and friendly service.

When I was waiting at impeccably maintained Osaka Kansai airport, I saw a flight attendant pickup small gum wrapper on floor that somebody else left behind. It's completely different mentality.

Continuous Delivery: Organisational Challenges
Where are all the on-demand platforms?
Well I'm a married heterosexual man, so the universe of "hot guys I like" is pretty small.

And I don't know why you insist on continuing to argue against points I'm not making. I'm saying continued unwanted advances = harassment, regardless of the existence or lack of "clear rejection." If you flirt with someone at work (what exactly are you being paid to do?) and they reciprocate, it's not unwanted. If you do it once and they don't reciprocate, and you stop, it's not continued.
What I would like to have in the free version is:
- Project importing from Stash to GitLab
- Mirror Projects
- Display merge request status for builds on Jenkins CI
- Rebase merge requests before merge
- Git hooks (commit message must mention an issue, no tag deletion, etc.)

These are pretty essential.

You mean a real kiss on the cheek not a symbolic one where people place their cheeks side by side and just make funny sounds resembling a kiss?

Because here we're used to the symbolic ones for close friends and reserve those smooches for intimate or romantic relationships.

What I was trying to say is that there are other reasons to not build a single stage to orbit expendable rocket, mostly cost and payload capacity. I agree it'd be easier than a reusable version but if you're not returning the stage it makes way more sense to use the 2+ stage designs that are common today. Being able to shed the weight of the atmospheric stage and switch to a vacuum optimized engine is a big benefit.
New book: Mastering ROS for robotics programming
RE: Christmas - I'm sort of on the opposite end of that problem, but the way we solved that is to do a Dirty Santa party instead of giving individual gifts to everyone. That way the affluent relatives don't feel guilty for providing cool gifts to everyone and the less affluent don't feel ashamed for providing what they can.

("Dirty Santa" is where everyone brings one gift -- we do $10 -- and then you play a game where you either open a random gift from the pile or steal someone's opened gift. It's pretty fun. To me it's more fun than "real" christmas gifting...)
Hasn't Primecoin tried something similar and failed?
