> www vs. no-www, as a matter of "putting the customer first" is so INCREDIBLY insignificant

I don't know, I've always been fascinated by the premium of domains that are just one character shorter, and all of the startups that exclude a vowel to get a compressed (or maybe just available) name. That could reflect actual user preferences.

UX theorists convinced me over the last decade that user behavior is shaped by tiny moments and irritations that we think are insignificant at first glance. A few 100 ms extra in delays may seem barely perceptible, but they can kill a site. It's not implausible that a few extra keystrokes could do the same.[0]

On the other hand, redirects seem like a happy medium, so long as they're fast enough. nasa.gov uses a redirect, that seems fine. Note that they were driven to that (from 'www'-only) after confused fans kept writing in to complain that "http://nasa.gov" was a dead end and that they didn't "even know the basics of running a website."[1]

N.B.: In that link, Jakob Nielsen recommended making "www" optional through redirects. It's been a while, so not sure his current thoughts, but the same reasons would apply today.

NASA's case provides a real example of something Jakob Nielsen pointed out in the first link: usability is a slave to expectations. So if enough popular sites are using naked domains, and your naked domain just 404s, some users will dismiss your site as unreliable.

I gave it a 30 seconds test with Firefox and it seemed to work. Probably not a deep enough test to say that it works, but I guess it's not far from working. I tried the Bootstrap 4 version.

This is awesome. Have just been strugglingh to get started with this the past few evenings. Will take this as my guide. Thanks for posting!

BTW, good place to start learning the relevant parts of GCC?
Thanks for the insight. I have a bit of a side project to find out what forgotten bits of computer history "got it right," if you will, for various contextually-defined definitions of "right," so I'll either be seeing if I can get AlphaTalk going in BasiliskII/SheepShaver (ahahaha...), or I know what I'll want to do if I ever come across a couple old Macs!
"The Selfish Gene" does not argue that genes produce selfish individuals, or that all traits are simple Mendelian traits governed by single genes. You've either not read TSG or have fundamentally misunderstood it.

The still mainstream evolutionary biology it describes does not require any particular relationship between genotype and phenotype, just that one exists. Polygenic traits are just as well described by it as simple Mendelian traits. It also accommodates a range of factors like plasticity, epistasis, and gene by environment interactions that complicate the relationship between genotype and phenotype.

Additionally, your understanding of "selfish" as genes which produce defectors in cooperative scenarios is incorrect. "Selfish" is a metaphor to describe the fact that to be favoured by selection genes must contribute to a phenotype that increases their own propagation (to the degree that they are not constrained from doing so, and issues like linkage and pleiotropy aside).
Nothing amazingly innovative, but I've used it a lot at work. For simple jobs/event processing it is amazing as it removes a load of complexity (logging, monitoring, scaling, deploying).

Lambdas tend to be < 100 lines of Javascript which means maintenance and rewriting is trivial. And because the jobs are so simple people don't need to be Javascript experts or aware of the JS ecosystem to write them.

Lambda is also very cheap if you have bursty or just very low-volume workloads.
Pretty good. The only countries that seem to be doing the same today are North Korea and, to some extent, ISIS. Neither are from our culture so our ability to exert change is limited.
Yeah, that sentence made me cringe. If they become good doctors that's already a massive win for our society and for them, but that sentence make it sound like they're losers.

I actually do sleep tracking with my Apple Watch using the Sleep++ app. The Apple Watch's battery is good enough, and charges fast enough, that all I have to do is give it, maybe, 30 minutes of charging when I wake up, and another 30 before I go to bed.

I just woke up after eight and a half hours of sleep, and had 88% battery left. Now, this was also with the Watch in Airplane Mode, but I've forgotten some nights, and still woke up with battery percentages in the same ballpark.

(Data point: I wear the 42mm model. The 38mm has a smaller battery.)
To elaborate on "baroque": autotools spends a lot of time and effort on detecting behaviours which (a) no new Unix system has exhibited for at least two decades, and (b) your code almost certainly isn't going to be able to handle anyway.

Autotools was great once, but the world has moved on. Write code which is POSIX compliant and skip the whole mess.

I believe the point was that usually every foreign intelligence agency plays exactly as nasty game as diplomacy allows. As we are living the era of U.S. hegemony, we can assume CIA is playing as nasty as humanly possible.

So the news in this case would be that there is some evidence that CIA actually did a thing that was expected of them. They either are not very competent, or they don't care because they get away with it anyhow.

They probably also have a plan to assassinate Snowden. But currently the costs outweigh the benefits.
That's a little bit like saying: don't learn web development, it's too easy, invest in learning fundamentals of computer science instead.

Sure, if you want to innovate in the field of academic AI, you probably need to know much more than how to throw some data at a neural net. But there are SO MANY problems supervised learning can solve out there - much like there are so many people and businesses who need a website done.

It's a tool, like any other - and right now it seems very hard to beat. So please go ahead, learn how to use it, and apply it to your own problem domain.
I know I've mentioned it before in this thread, but you should really check out the Vector Watch. I think you're their target market. It's a smartwatch that tries to save time for you, instead of waste it. It only shows you notifications and basic information (like news headlines or nest integration), it looks good and it has a long battery life. No colors, no touchscreen, it's a watch that also happens to be smart.
Hardly swept under the carpet. It's an ongoing diplomatic headache. Just a couple of weeks ago, a public enquiry (which Litvinenko's widow had pushed for) publicly announced that Litvinenko was most probably murdered by the FSB with Putin's approval.
www is a relic of a different time, when networks were client-server first and http was an afterthought. Now it is expected that the root domain at minimum bring up a single page description of the org.

The rider breaking away from the group while "talking to his team director" has his hand on the car.

Stuff like that happens a lot when taking a bidon from a car, or when talking to a doctor and is somewhat accepted, but this was deemed to be excessive.

To me, this fragment isn't that clear. Yes, he easily gets out of the group, but the others seem to slow down a bit, and he had more ambition to get back to the leading group because he was aiming for the overall win of the race. Also, he was the better rider in that group, and camera angle doesn't help.

He (for a large part thanks to hard work by his teammates) did manage to return to the leading group, though, and many in that leading group would have kept the speed high because they knew an important contender for the overall win was behind.

I'm perplexed by the cookie claim. I have a naked domain (foo.com), and a static domain with the same domain name. (static.foo.com) and the cookies of foo.com are not being sent to static.foo.com if the path is configured as /. (I can see that cookies are not sent from the dev tools' network tab. The cookies for google analytics, which set the domain to .foo.com as opposed to foo.com are being sent to the static subdomain though.)

Could someone enlighten me on this? Seems like the article might be spreading misinformation.

Edit: Seems like the issue is "host only cookies" are just sent to foo.com, not to static.foo.com

A cookie, unless the domain is explicitly set is already host-only. So you will see that if you set up a naked domain, cookies you set for authentication will probably not be sent to subdomain by default.

The third party cookies on your application, like Google Analytics on the other hand, have to have specified a domain name and are not host only, so you will see your Google Analytics cookie being sent to the static subdomain.

So, this statement from the article seems to be wrong:

"If you use the naked domain, the cookies get sent to all subdomains (by recent browsers that implement RFC 6265), slowing down access to static content, and possibly causing caching to not work properly."

It should be

"If you use the naked domain, the cookies which are not host-only and have domain set get sent to all subdomains (by recent browsers that implement RFC 6265), slowing down access to static content, and possibly causing caching to not work properly."

I'm not in CS, just an enthusiastic person using software to solve his own projects. I personally want to learn more of these that make "hard thing easy", not to come up with new methods, but to apply these now-achievable techniques to different problems, the problems around me. "learning deep learning should not be the goal but a side effect" sounds useful in general, in the same time I wish there would be more, wider set of people actually using (as opposed to merely learning) the awesome methods and technology we have these days.

> Less window management hassle.

Actually, no, you still have to perform the "find the window" function and the "bring the window to the top" function, for both maximized as well as non-maximized windows. And once any given window is sized, the 'management hassle' for 'find and raise' is identical between both modes (maximized and non-maximized.

The screenshot you posted is of a Mac, so because of that I am going to assume you are using a Mac (because otherwise you would have posted a screen shot of some other OS). This explains why you believe that window management is a hassle.

Mac's window management support is on par with MSWindows window management, which is to say, they both suck for handling more than a handful of windows at once, and they both suck for doing much more than "find something - bring it to the top" (and even that function on both is awful as well). Which is really sad given that Apple is the company that brought the whole multiple overlapping windows GUI model into the popular view (Apple Lisa).

Additionally, because you are using a Mac, I am going to assume you are likely using a Mac laptop (simply due to the sheer number of Mac laptops sold vs. Mac desktops, there is a significantly higher probability you are on a Mac laptop). This leads directly to a second reason why you believe window management is a hassle. On almost any touchpad/trackpad, with the current UI hooks used by Mac (and Windows as well), window management is a hassle and sucks terribly. This is because all the UI hooks are designed around a mouse with a separate button (or buttons) that can be independently held down separately from creating mouse motion. On any touchpad/trackpad that lacks separate mouse buttons that can be independently held down with your second hand, performing any kind of "hold mouse button down while moving" operation is made significantly more difficult and a major hassle. This is due to the need to reposition your fingers on the pad to perform large movements, and the act of repositioning loses the "hold button down" mode, so you have to repeat the "hold button down" action just to reposition your fingers. But this is not a flaw with multiple window UI's, this is a flaw with Apple deploying a touchpad without separate buttons and failing to update the UI interface to better mesh with the physical constraints of a single touchpad without external buttons.
Pedantic correction: that should be "non business-critical".
Interesting ideas, and they do feel intuitively correct. Sone evidence would make it more compelling.
GoLive, Dreamweaver too. It's hard to convey semantic intent and create efficient structures in markup when your tool has to be generic enough to have a flexible GUI.

It still comes down to how skillful the creator is, to not end up with nested divs and classes like "rt-col1-flex-span-head".

Sounds like he's viewing things very much from a research-scientist perspective. From that point of view, sure, a lot of the groundbreaking work has already been done. From the point of view of someone who just has a job to do, though, it's a tool in the toolbox. If it's the most appropriate tool then you'd be stupid not to use it.
You are assuming qsort is Quicksort and std::sort is not. Both typically use quicksort; but neither is required to.
Totally agree.

I guess one problem is that deep learning requires a different mindset than most people who are currently in computing are willing to have. I'm not a deep learning expert, but I guess that working in this field requires a lot of trial-and-error: "hmm this doesn't work, let's see what happens if we change this parameter". This is directly in contrast with the more "engineering" or "mathematical" mindset that computer science requires.

(Of course, deep learning certainly requires mathematics and engineering skills, but the driving force behind their use remains vague and difficult to grasp.)

Ask HN: How much you spend on rent?
As a single young individual, what is the percentage of your income that you're spending on rent (and utilities) ?
Well, I agree that users shouldn't need to type it, but it should still be advertised, especially in print.

www makes it immediately obvious that you're looking at a url, which is especially important with gtlds. A line at the bottom that says dog.spa is meaningless. www.dog.spa fixes that with only 4 characters.

You could print http://dog.spa, but now you've added 7 characters and it looks even more technical, which is stupid if the goal of removing www is to simplify things.
Anyone have details on the technology behind it? I mean is it a cross platform single app written in JS/Electron or individual native languages etc?

Hadoop itself consists of different parts: HDFS is a distributed filesystem that can span across lot's of machines and stores data in blobs of varying sizes.

MapReduce is the Google idea from before 2004 how to do calculations on lot's of data. Now there is also YARN that could be described as a general job scheduler.

At the moment a lot of people use software on YARK like Spark (does more in memory, is faster, can use the GPU on the cluster machines).

So if you have biological data you could feed that into a HDFS and have Spark or MapReduce jobs that process the data. The clue about Hadoop is that don't need to care about getting the clustering and distributed setup right. This is done by Hadoop for you. You program like you would program a single thread algorithm (at least in the simple cases).

E.g. this Python code counts words over as much data as you want in parallel: http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/writing-an-hadoop-mapr...

If you google each of these projects you'll find a lot of information.

Here are the original papers that should give a good idea:

- HFDS (Google Filesystem was the original idea - Hadoop was a free implementation by Yahoo - http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co...

- MapReduce -
http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co...

- Spark: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~matei/papers/2010/hotcloud_spark...

If you want a good introduction read Hadoop: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition

We used it for building a search engine out of multiple terabytes of crawl data - something that fit's not good on a single computer.

You can do all kinds of computations but graph problems or things that not good to parallelize require often other solutions beyond MapReduce or more thought - MapReduce also only fits for a certain class of problems - it's great for counting and aggregation of stuff but beyond that it's often not usable.
Because sometimes devices designed for a singular purpose can do it better than a device-of-all-trades?
The solution sounds pretty obvious to me. I never understood the "trauma" associated with solitary confinement with enough space to stretch out and walk around. Maybe I'm too much of an introvert with an over-active imagination… I think most people in solitary confinement handle it poorly because they spend all their time thinking about solitary confinement.
I think the article overestimates how much we understand about neural networks, and the novel ways we might use them.

Take word2vec for example. It's a two-layer (i.e. not deep) neural network that uses a relatively simple training algorithm. Yet, after 30 minutes it can learn impressive relationships between English words. The method is only 3 years old and businesses continue to find novel ways to apply word2vec. Check out this article:

http://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/2015/03/11/word-is-w...

They are using word2vec to find clothing items that resemble other products by adding or subtracting descriptors such as "stripes", "blue", or even "pregnant."

For my company, we are attempting to normalize medical terminology using word2vec. Here are a couple examples:

1. "myocardial" + "infarction" = "MI"

2. "ring" + "finger" = "fourth" + "metacarpal"

We never would have thought to normalize the names of different body parts, but with word2vec, it does it for us. There's a great deal yet to learn about how this model alone works, let alone deeper networks.

Please realize that this article is not fundamentally about India, nor just about the plight of rural women there. It is about injustice, and the aspiration to improve yourself, and the obstacles that prevent that. The kind of taboos that were enforced against these women can be found in all traditional cultures, from the rural South in the US today to many Catholic developing world countries.

All of us should be grateful that we were not raised in an environment where we were told not to do untraditional things, with the warning backed up by the threat of violence.
Loading more backlog doesn't seem to be doing anything, maybe if there is no new messages? But at least it doesn't populate missing messages in the between.

And what is the point of having to download and extract logs from a zip file? That's not good UX. My friends and I are completely baffled that this MOST basic feature doesn't work as expect.

Here is how it should work: I log in at home and I get full history of the channel (or as much as they keep, but at least last 24 hours), so I can see what's been going on. Then I leave for work (I leave my client open at home) and during commute I might popin and see what is going on, again I should get full history regardless what has happened while I was gone (or if nothing had happened). Then I get to work and again I should get full history of all messages and all these clients should get updated history whenever there are new messages.
Someone tell them to read the hyperloop whitepaper, that way at least the solar panels won't be wasted on the ground, and they'll be at the cutting edge of train like things again.
User and password management? With client X.509 certificates it's difficult,
e.g. issuing them is not fun. Moving them around is more troublesome than with
a login+password pair, too.

Also, try explaining client certificates to non-technical people, who probably
are among the target audience of IRCv3 initiative.

I read it, but honestly that book was very boringly written and could have been much improved if it had been half as long. It also felt like the author had a political agenda so I don't know how much I can trust it.

But it did finally make me accept one thing: it really is possible for the entire US defence system to overlook all the evidence for 9/11 - they really are that incompetent.
