"Snooze" to me implies delaying for a unit of time that you may choose to repeat. From their description of "Defer" it seems you pick a specific date/time and add it to your calendar.
Farming takes up a huge amount of land. If all that land is allowed to go wild thousands of species not just domesticated ones will have a chance to come back if they are already not extinct.
So decrease of domesticated animals does not automatically mean it will be bad for the animal kingdom or earth as whole.
I don't see what the preference is over plant-based imitation meat products, which are already in the same price range as animal-based meat products.

Some of the plant-based products may have a marginally different flavor or texture, but ground beef in particular is remarkably identical to the "real thing," in my experience.
Well that answers the question quite succinctly.

It is straightforward because Go has first class value types which are most likely to be on stack vs Java where everything except primitives are reference type which are most likely to be on heap. Also Java data structures are really bloated.

I do not like that is only runs in fullscreen, but I think I get why you're doing it.

I current use Google Inbox and set my default "done" action to delete. You should support the notion of "done forever".

I maybe keep 10% of the email I receive. Having a heavy hand with deletion forces me to think about the value of the communication and to capture the important actions and details in my todo system.

The Essential Guide to Electronics in Shenzhen
At work (Lytics) 100% of our backend code has been in Go since the beginning over 3 years ago, so slide #6 highlights one of the most things with nearly every Go release:

> Changes to the language: None

https://talks.golang.org/2016/state-of-go.slide#6

We generally get our entire stack upgraded to the latest release within 1-3 months with little effort. It wouldn't be much more work to be ready to upgrade on release day, but we haven't found a reason to worry about it.

Go is such a breath of fresh air compared to past Java and Python jobs where production was usually at least a major release version behind the latest and there was extra effort spent getting everyone using the same implementation (Oracle Java v OpenJDK or Ubuntu's Python v CentOS's -- there are differences!).

Conservative releases aren't a must-have for a language, but I do appreciate having one less operational headache to consider.
Comes from the 'get things done' or GTD ideology.
You absolutely can. PureScript is one of the most interesting things going on in programming at the moment. In web dev the cost of confirming things empirically is orders of magnitude lower than in hardware, but the complexity of what you're working on can eat that margin up surprisingly quickly; on large codebases a bit of formality is well worth it.

What could Youtube do to get the incentives more aligned so

Nothing.

If YouTube doesn't act aggressive enough at taking videos down, Viacom et al. start having their lawyers breathe down Google's neck.

If YouTube is too aggressive in taking things down, businesses are inconvenienced yet again at the whim of a platform owner that they zero negotiating power with. The people who do have negotiating power with YouTube already have bigger things that they want from YouTube and, if they do care about takedowns, can probably get most-favored-nations status in the dispute process.
I have used both options quite intensively for more than six months each (both Facebook internal tools at Facebook, and Facebook at Work at Facebook; I am probably one of the very few who has and has no direct financial interest in either company) and Facebook at Work is significantly richer in features than Slack — notably longer posts that allow to explain, argue, compare. It is useful up to the point where meeting (outside of creative explorations) become non-essential.

Slack is great for quick-reaction and coordinated team org, but not suggest features, walk people through non-trivial decision, structure posts and comments.

The Three Most Common Objections When Selling ML SaaS Products
I believe I'll have the same problem with this app that I have with Kindle -- the lack of flipability in the name of apparent convenience and simplicity.

There is an unspoken importance in an inbox glance, in seeing a list of "undone" email and getting a gist of things. There is a similar feeling in flipping pages of an entire book.

Imagine being in a room where you only see one object at a time, you can either use it or defer it for a later time. Simple? Yes. Will I hope to stumble upon a gun to put in my mouth? Indeed.

There is a magic in looking at the world and deciding on what to do. It's much faster, efficient, and satisfying.
Looks great - is it making you any money?
Bellevue, WA - ONSITE Back-End Quality Engineer
At DreamBox, our mission is a way of life. We are changing lives by transforming the way children learn math concepts through our multi-award winning program that brings fun and engaging material to students, while adapting uniquely to each individual, moment-by-moment. We are a passionate group who believe education should be accessible to all, regardless of zip code, age, or level of experience.

Dreambox Learning is adding a Back-End Quality Engineer to our Software development team. Back-End Quality Engineers are members of the Quality Assurance team and are responsible for all Quality Assurance activities related to DreamBox Learning's Internet platform. BEQE’s are responsible for system quality from initial design to production deployment. In this role you will be part of an Agile team which designs, implements, tests and deploys services, which support our cloud based education platform. In this position you will be ensuring the overall quality of our lesson delivery, student management, data aggregation, and reporting systems. BEQE’s automate their tests by writing test cases is JSON which are executed within our proprietary testing framework. This allows for rapid test case development and allows the quality engineer to focus on validating the services rather than writing / maintaining code.

BEQEs work with engineers, customer service representatives and teachers to ensure that features are released with a high quality bar and in a timely manner. As a team we continually influence the design and development process in order to build in quality from the very beginning. The QA team meets together on a regular basis to discuss how we can improve our processes and promote Software Quality as a discipline.

I really like emptying my inbox now, but at the same time I sort of agree with you. Inbox's views can give you both, though: You can snooze messages you don't want to deal with right now and space them out based on how soon you think you might want to pay attention to them. Yet you can also at any time go in and look at the full list of messages.

It's nice as one more way of figuring out what to prioritise.
I suppose it's whether the effort to integrate that thread-level isolation drives enough benefit to justify itself.

For cloudlinux customers (shared hosting providers) the typical things they need already have the mods put in by cloudlinux (apache, mysql,etc).

Since cloudlinux is, I believe, based on an older version OpenVZ, you would also have to likely backrev to a 2.6.x kernel.
Ah, this concept reminds me of one of the first apps I did, years ago, called EmptyInbox - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/emptyinbox-for-gmail/id50994... (Yay skeuomorphism!)

It only supports GMail, but still works as far as I know. Back then it was the only app I knew that had that concept, but by now there is Triage, plus most modern mail clients have the "swipe" actions for quickly getting through emails.
Very amusing and informative. I think I can incorporate some of this in my resume in the future, thanks. Also it should help me organize my thoughts for job interviews.
Would be intersting to be able to tag the email as it's being marked "Done". It's the GTD analogy of filing it away. Yes full-text search can turn up almost anything but a tag may help for smartmailboxes or further post-processing work.

2. We are developers and it is being developed by freshers as a passion project. We really love creating things. It's a big team, righto, but many work on the product part time.

3. We have no plans monetizing it in the near future. We created http://ideaboardz.com earlier for the fun of it, and it's been received quite well. That's our reward.

Effective Qt – Marc Mutz – Meeting C++ 2015
I've made 8-10% per year (defaults included) for the past 2 years on lending club. There are investment limits based on your income that you legally have to follow. I believe its 5% of your income/assets max. They don't confirm your income/assets but there are regulations related to it.

It also takes work to liquidate quickly. So if not selling notes on a second market you're locked into your investments for up to 5 years.

First Ionic Game – Swipe It
Below are the links to the first Ionic game I have ever made (it's free). For those looking to create a game in Ionic, I would highly recommend establishing a game loop of some sort... managing multiple Angular intervals was not a great experience.

Although even with that in mind I would still advise against making a game with Ionic, creating the same thing in Unity would have been much less effort. I will stick to simple apps in Ionic next time.

Questions or Comments welcome. :)

Ask HN: What can a small business do to grow excess cash?
I'm self-employed with a web development business structured as an S-Corp. I maintain a payroll where I pay myself, and contribute towards a retirement savings account, but my business tends to have excess cash that sits in savings. At this stage, I'm not looking to increase headcount. Is there anything better I could be doing to grow this cash apart from increasing my own payroll and investing it in my personal investment accounts?

It also required upfront confidence in the sustainability of the government subsidy. In The Netherlands a lot of now-solar panel owners decided to invest because of subsidies, but last year the government decided to stop the subsidy for 2016. Especially with the low energy prices, that makes it a net loss for a lot of people.
I disagree with the premise that it's a point at all. Certain hardware is hot right now but it won't be forever (ask Dell and HP).
To be honest, for 60fps, and now with VR - 120fps and more - it won't be good enough. But... I could be wrong... Lots of games do have additional scripting languages (.gsc in COD games, lua in others, etc., etc.) - these all have garbage collectors. The key to control that is checking your high watermarks (while playing the level), and doing incremental GC.

Whether you can write the whole game in it - I don't know, but it'll be pretty good for tools/editors/pipeline/etc.

Well usage of the takedown process is bound by the terms of service. Suing every fraudulent take-down-er might be impractical, but the least they could do is penalize them within YouTube itself, like what they do to accounts flagged as repeatedly copyright infringing.
But since the construction is entirely political, they actually have fallen in the category, since the majority of them have a standard magazine capacity > 10 rounds, or simply detachable magazines.

That has been debated and put to rest.

Our elected officials initially tried to say he was a Russian spy, but could not provide any evidence to support the claim.

If he were a foreign asset, like for the Russians, for example, he would not have acted the way he did. In fact, his handlers would have preferred that he continued to operate in secret and continue to feed them as much info as he can.

Let me preface this by saying that my favorite comedian is Doug Stanhope. So I like very politically incorrect humor.

However, it's an issue of boundaries.

I make terribly politically incorrect jokes with my girlfriend, who shares my un-pc sense of humor. But I wouldn't be caught dead saying those things at work or around my friends who would be upset by such joking. I respect their boundaries.

Being politically incorrect with people who are going to be upset by it is just a form aggression. It's not funny, it's pathetic and juvenile.

For comedians it's a matter of marketing: do they want to appeal to a larger crowd and kowtow to political correctness or do they want to be authentic and cultivate a niche market?

My guess is that John Cleese wants it both ways. Sorry pal, not going to happen. If you want to be politically incorrect you're going to have to go the Doug Stanhope route and be authentic and poor instead of politically correct and rich.

The Permanent Portfolio [1]. The plan is based on very simple economic theory, and historically it generates market-competitive returns in the long run with much lower volatility than stock indexes or 60/40 portfolios.

As in the peer thread on stock funds, this plan is not a great income generator because it's designed more for capital preservation and long term capital gains. (Unless you have half a million dollars in there and interest rates are favorable for the bonds or cash holdings.) But for me it's a great way to carve out savings and get some real compounding going. The longest drawdown in the past 40 years is 2-3 years, so I'm comfortable using it with any savings I don't expect to need to use in the next five or more years.

Implementation could hardly be simpler for the robustness that it offers. You put the money in and divide it into four parts. Once a year take a look at the balances and rebalance if any category is too far out of alignment.

For resources, Harry Browne's book mentioned in [1] is awesome for general investment sense and lays out the basics of the plan. Another book by Roland and Lawson [2] goes into much more of the nuts and bolts of implementation using different account types, tax status, and many other factors in individual situations.

> A better analogy might be for rockets / spaceflight-- where individual systems are rigorously tested independently, but a live launch is the only place that they all come together and have to function as one tightly coupled system.

I understand the point that you are trying to make, but your analogy is a bit poorly chosen.

Speaking from my days as a sounding rocket telemetry engineer, we performed lots of tests of the individual systems, as you say. But then we also put everything together and performed several "sequence tests" where the entire vehicle (minus the motor) was assembled and tested as if the countdown were real. All events were triggered as if the vehicle were in flight, and experiment systems were tested to ensure they would power on as expected and provide real data. If we had any deployables, the deployment mechanism would be tested to the maximum extent possible. These sequence tests happened off the rail (in special testing facilities) and on the rail (fully assembled in launch configuration, with a motor).

Basically, if you wait until the actual launch to perform integration tests of all of this, you WILL fail. There are too many pieces that need to function in concert to expect them to all work without integration testing.
In terms of throwing off a lot of passive income, they just aren't very good though. Looking mainly at income-generating investments, the best index one might be Vanguard LifeStrategy income (with provides income and moderate capital appreciation to protect against inflation).

Is there some high-yielding, regular-income fund I should know about? Even allowing for sorta-irregular funds, you probably can't do much better in this environment, though I'd like to be proven wrong.
