An impressive effort. Nonetheless, I feel like it would be better to warn about these things via static analysis rather than enforcing at run time.
But opening and accessing the data used in the analysis is a big problem.
archdaily.com, arxiv.org/math, Supreme Court landmark decisions, random pubmed.com articles, or just a plain old book.
..and programmers account for probably 95% of the user base. Your point?
It's not entirely the same, but when I worked in Dublin tea breaks served a similar purpose.
Popping Balloons: A Case Study of Dynamical Fragmentation [pdf]
Metafilter. (Hands down one of the best forums with quality conversations.)

Other than that, the usual suspects: Reddit, Vox, Quartz, WaPo, New Yorker, The Atlantic and NYT.
Ask HN: What website could you recommend that most probably haven't heard of?
> Why not do it like other countries and just include one,
> final price, which is what comes out of my pocket?

While it would be nice to have the price I see up front match the amount of money that actually leaves my wallet, there's a good reason it doesn't.

In the US, taxes vary by where you are. Your city, county, state, and the federal government can all levy taxes on just about anything they want. The only thing that keeps those entities from constantly raising taxes is that consumers know when a price hike is caused by the business raising its prices versus the local municipality increasing taxes.

If McDonald's wants to sell a burger for $1, it can advertise that price state-wide, and if you end up paying $1.25 in one city and $1.50 in another, that's a signal to citizens where their money is going when they buy the burger.
What might help is if someone started a file sharing site and named it after a place where pirates hung out and incorporated a pirate ship and the word "pirate" into their logo.

Then maybe if it became popular these so-called "pirates" could cast off the shame of being tarnished by an image they clearly don't embrace at all.
They bought a "big" and extremely shitty company, to sell at gas stations everywhere so people will go back to cigs. The Ecig products they sell are just awful.
He's also doing the yeoman job of pointing out how rabidly the media will seize upon this sort of study (which a lot of people have identified as having serious flaws) and put up broadly general headlines that "fit the narrative", like this one:

"Suck It Dudes. Science Proves Women Are Better Coders." (http://gizmodo.com/suck-it-dudes-science-proves-women-are-be...)

I mean, I know that Gizmodo is not exactly the pinnacle of responsible journalism, but as mentioned in the article, the Guardian, the BBC, and Business Insider are not doing much better.

My RHR is around 40. When my GP discovered it he ran a few tests (ECG and echocardiogram) that were all clear and then sent me to a cardiac electrophysiologist. He basically said that as long as I wasn't experiencing any of the symptoms of sinus bradycardia (fainting, dizziness, fatigue, etc) then this is just a normal heart rate for my body and I didn't have anything to worry about.
Yes, especially since it's not because of anything they've done. Being forced to leave where you've lived your life, where your friends and family is, because of money is definitely a hardship.

Seattle is currently enjoying falling rents, and is the kind of hip coastal city that people care about: http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/blog/2015/11/bad-timingas...

For more dramatic numbers, including low prices and a booming population for many years, you should look at Houston, Texas, Hero Of Housing Capitalism.
Disregarding the fact that std::array is allocated on the stack, you do realize that running under a debug mode means that there can be bounds checking assertions built into containers like this, not to mention iteration of the elements instead of iteration of the indices (which guarantees not going out of bounds) ?
I'd put XML and annotations in the same class of problem because they are (mostly) not checked by the type system. For instance, you can have a REST controller that simply does not "work" because you're missing an annotation. You can easily debug this if is a place in your code where the controllers are registered, but with annotations the interactions between your code and the framework (or whatever requires annotation) are not obvious by just looking at the code.
What reputation? This brand is so damaged that rebranding would be a good way to build trust.
When you create a repository you have the option of importing it from GitHub. You'll have to authorize it to access your GitHub repositories, but then it can pull over all of the issues that are part of the project.
That's definitely a thing. I like to get up from my desk a few times a day and go for a short walk, stretch my legs, get some fresh air, clear my mind, maybe run a minor errand. That's weird, but if I was going for a smoke, no-one would bat an eyelid.
If they do no one will migrate to photos. That's why they are killing it instead. Reader was killed because google plus feed was being competed by, and so on.
You seem to be presenting a false dichotomy. Why not do both?
Like the Flint Michigan fiasco with lead in the water, this is going to hang over SourceForge forever.

You poisoned the well. On purpose. You'll never shake that.
Side question: does anyone know of a browser extension or anything that would hide/gray out HN headlines that I've already seen on previous visits so I know only what stories are actually new on the front page? Would make scanning quicker.
Well, for your future reference, Pylint (https://www.pylint.org/) checks for that and many other common pitfalls. I'm sure its competitors PyChecker and Pyflakes do so as well.

According to what I've been reading vaporists in Colorado are experimenting in this area attempting to isolate the best "turps".

"Terpenoids and cannabinoids are both secreted inside the Cannabis plants glandular trichomes and they have a parent compound in common (geranyl pyrophosphate). More than 100 terpenoids have been identified in Cannabis. The most common and most studied include limonene, myrcene, alpha-pinene, linalool, beta-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, nerolidol and phytol. Anecdotal evidence suggests that alpha-pinene is alerting, limonene is sunshine-y, and beta-myrcene is sedating.

Limonene (also found in lemon)
Alpha-pinene (also found in pine needles)
Beta-myrcene (also found in hops and mango)
Linalool (also found in lavender)
Beta-Caryophyllene (also found in pepper and Echinacea)
Caryophyllene Oxide (also found in lemon balm)
Nerolidol (also found in orange)
Phytol (found in green tea)"
Drudgereport.com - its the best news aggregator on the web about politics hands down and I am fascinated by politics.
I'm not sure why the "If I pay for it, it will continue" meme persists. Your payment does not guarantee continuing availability. Many paid products and services vanish as well.

I don't think it's zeitgeist only. Or at least, not on such a short scale. The pre-internet equivalent of that is interviewing random people on the street about current events, to fill the 2:30 of your news report with something vaguely related to the subject.

Like in Charlie Brooker's "How to report the news": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHun58mz3vI
A partnership with a company like GitHub, Gitlab, anyone would help considerably.
You're arguing inferred, postulated, or plausible effects from the chemical nicotine specifically in a combustion process that releases thousands of different varieties of volatile chemicals into the lungs and bloodstream, including things like chemical asphyxiants.

That's a hell of a confounder to be observing any effect beneath whatsoever.

To illustrate:

"Cocaine-coated axes are shown to cause increased adrenaline response when administered to the subject's ribcage at a high rate of speed. This makes sense, because we postulate cocaine to be a stimulant. [uncoated axes not tested]"
THANK YOU! After actually reading any available data, I agree this study seems deeply flawed and in no way controlled. Did the Ecig users smoke previously? Does the gene suppression go away after a day? I highly doubt it's permanent. Did they have Ecig users who were using no flavoring? What nicotine level? What vg/pg ratio? Most importantly in my opinion, what type of device was used and at what wattage etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly happy to see testing happening, but we need to do it right and control ALL the variables.

Anecdotally, I was sick all the time when I smoked cigs. Switched to Ecig a little over a year ago and I haven't had any illness beyond a normal upset stomach every now and then.
If they watch any Yakuza movies, I'm sure they are aware of the practice, maybe no the extent, as you point out, but they're not naïve...

That said, there has to be a Tony Iomi joke in there somewhere.
Why would they do that? Google isn't a charity.

Anything that makes it easier to develop native software (which 'won't-suddenly-disappear' software has to be) is in direct conflict with Google's strategic interests (Chrome, ChromeOS) and their bottom line.
Spring Boot is very serious.
id love to try out lobste.rs but i cant seem to get an invite, and commenting is one of the biggest parts of these kinds of sites to me.
Speaking of Mediums…
I recommend going to sleep if possible, or persevering with sleep in mind as something to look forward to. After waking, one tends to have a more harmonious frame of mind.

A sense of depression (and I assume you're referring to the emotion, not the medical condition) quite often has nothing to do with easily identified circumstances, the mind just tends toward the things it is dissatisfied with.

If you believe you have the medical condition, treat it like anything else: see a doctor. I know many people who have wasted years of their lives fearing a few moments of awkward discussion with their general practitioner. There's no rational reason to join them.

They are annoying. Just look at the expression on the face of every vaper (or vapid, I call them). Look at meeeeeeee, I'm smoking!! Why do you think they put LEDs on them?

And they are still blowing completely unknown, unregulated chemicals into the air you breathe.
>Despite seizure of the websites as ordered by a New York district court on October 28, 2015, the site is still accessible through alternative domains as of December 2015.

So a court in the United States could seize a site just because the plaintiff was based there?

Or because the .org domain registry (PIR) is based in the US?

Photo search is way-cool in Google Photos. Want to see every photo of beer? Search for it. Mountains, cars, places, a named person, animals, etc. I feel the need less and less to meta-tag my photos.
I'm very much against modern IP/Copyright.

But calling that barbaric is absurd hyperbole. It casts people wanting copyright reform as fringe extremists. When when I explain how much copyrights actually cover, for how long, and the extreme penalties for violations most people can't believe it (many don't, it's too absurd and conflicts with their property and profits world view. similar to how you can't convince a climate denier with facts). But, if they do, they realize that MPAA, RIAA, et al are the fringe extremists.
> Don’t believe the one-size-fits-all interview process with whiteboarding problems. These serve to grind away your individuality and make you feel like an assembly line worker.

In my experience, the interview process with whiteboarding problem can go one of two ways. One of them is the "find what we think is the textbook solution to this toy problem" way. The other is the "communicate to us as you attack this toy problem so that we can understand your thought processes, problem-solving approaches, and your experience with these topics" way. Only one of these is really objectionable.

"Old media has schadenfreude for technology companies failing and they use "startup" as a code-word for their tone that tech companies are irresponsible, lazy, out of touch, and not doing "real" work."

I think you have a very misaligned perception of the general world. Most people don't even know what a startup is unless your in a major city and the perception is pretty positive overall.
Mostly Ars Technica.
That's like saying World of Warcarft uses garbage collection because it uses Lua. The higher level language on top of an engine isn't what was being talked about since Minecraft was written completely in Java and thus dealt with the garbage collector at every level.
this is no different then what happened in 2000/2001 companies with high fixed costs and little or no revenue went belly up
I don't remember it being awesome, ever, just less crappy than the alternatives. It was like a bit of flotsam in an ocean, better than fending for yourself, marginally. You could roll your own hosting, but it was obnoxious and expensive. SourceForge was, at best, the Geocities of open-source hosting.

It really hasn't improved much since then.

Also a lot of people still use PHP. I really don't know where you get your numbers. It's just that there's no longer just PHP or Perl, there's dozens of languages that are in play, but the number of PHP devs is surely way higher than when SourceForge launched.
github doesn't really serve "end users" for the most part. github is designed for libraries and pieces of open source that will be used by other developers. So the "end users" github services are developers.

SourceForge is designed so that developers can serve their wares to end users. As in, someone with a Windows PC that wants to download a media player.

This difference in use case is one reason that SourceForge's top projects are all apps and github's top projects are all libraries/framerworks for use in development projects.
How is this diffrent(better) from http://arxiv.org ?
My local council has a reward scheme. Recycling earns points redeemable at participating local shops.

I suspect it is ineffective. I've always recycled as much as I can but the incentives are too small for me to bother signing up, let alone encourage someone else to recycle more.
The license info there is almost certainly wrong. On whose authority is it Creative Commons?

If it's in the "open source" collection, I think that's just because it hasn't been moved to a different one yet by administrators.
For you, perhaps. But it's a hugely popular site with tons of traffic within the top 300 sites in the world.
I probably can't diagnose correctly, but the ones I dealt with personally reminded me very strongly of some schizophrenic family members I have when they've stopped taking their medication.

One guy had to ask to leave the interview multiple times to go wash his hands.

That sort of thing.

Interesting, but in the first place - why did they move to USA/NYC? Why they couldn't launch the mobile app or website from Australia? Maybe this is related to that solving of chicken and egg problem they mention...
Show HN: Test-Driven Screencast #4: Path Finding
Even if shuttering the site were an option... it would be a bad one. The site has millions of daily visitors and is within the top 300 worldwide. There's ad revenue in that alone if you wanted to go that route.
Accessing HN with Firefox (if your web history is turned on) does exactly that[1]. No extension is necessary. The same is true for every other browser since the CSS file it clearly says:

a:visited { color:#828282; text-decoration:none; }

I'm not disagreeing with you, but regarding your examples, am I the only one that prefers the way lambdas and streams are implemented in Java?

First of all, the way lambdas are implemented at the JVM level was a big improvement on what others were doing. And Scala is actually moving in that direction, if I'm not mistaken.

And regarding streams, I prefer one clean interface to having all the collection interfaces polluted with 1000 methods. Not to mention that in scala you have those traps, like when you are applying a map over a set and you end up with less elements than expected.
They are indeed fearless. They have put up thousands of copyrighted video games, for example.
Perhaps most do but I see a different trend these days.
"The network" is a lot more important now since so many things are cloud-based.

Our networking group automated a deployment for the fix and contacted everyone that has ever bought an ASA from our company and updated them. We have ~400 ASAs across the country still have < 50 to go. There are still a few stragglers and the older ASAs need a bit more TLC.

Many of those clients have a maintenance agreement with us that includes these sorts of things and changes. All of them were updated and tested within 24 hours.

We did the same thing for the Juniper exploits (albeit we only had a handful).

> they didn't get 'good representation' anyway

They formed the government. Your original comment said they had 'little to no representation' - for a party with cabinet seets and the deputy prime minister, that's a bizarre claim.

Feel free to nuance it and segue into a discussion of FPTP, sure. I'm a Green Party member, so I need no persuasion there. But if you're a LibDem, then telling yourself you imploded because of 'striking a bargain to try and fix the voting system' is pretty self-delusional. The LibDems imploded because of their government record. They voted against the policy interests of the people who voted for them. If that's because of a bargain and sense of duty, then more fool them for getting played like a tool. No proportional representation will help with that. If they can't be trusted to stand for what they offered the electorate.

Which is all a side show from your original comment that I was responding to.
A better analogy might be those smaller cola brands with higher caffeine levels. I don't know if you have these in the US; in Germany, there are a lot of them (e.g. Fritz Kola, Afri Cola, Club Mate Cola).

On the outside, it looks similar to Coke/Pepsi (still cola), but it has a vastly different and smaller audience (people who need caffeine, but despise the sugariness of energy drinks). But they stay in their niche, because any attempt to replicate Coke/Pepsi would get them crushed between those two.
I'm just curious as to why. You specify a list of requirements and their versions, and those get pulled down from somewhere and installed locally. What makes Mavens process far superior to pip (or npm, or any other program)?
Arxiv is by its nature open access; Arxiv does not charge for access.

On the other hand, the articles that this site hosts require payment to access. The journals typically charge $30 / article, or roughly $2,000 / year subscription.

Note that for both the open access or paid journals, researchers do NOT receive any compensation when users download articles. That is, despite the research being mostly paid by taxpayers, a PRIVATE company receives compensation for the work done by the researchers. Not only that, but the researchers have to PAY a publication fee, and that fee is higher if they want to allow open-access.
Not quite. Lapses in security in governmental organisations can put millions of people at risk. This case was pure carelessness by multiple parties.
You could say the same of Marx who lived a very decadent lifestyle himself. Or Hobsbawm to declined an invitation to actually live in the USSR himself.
Since you said web design, I am assuming you want to build a website.

So, Ruby on Rails.

Rails is a stack that has:

Ruby - a very simple developer friendly language. This is responsible for putting together

JavaScript - this lang is responsible for all the fancy stuff you see on websites. The animations and all.

HTML, CSS - this is the stuff that websites are made of. Ruby and JavaScript are used to generate this the way you want.

I used to be an accountant and started coding in Nov 2014. I have many rails apps ever since as prototypes and maintain one app that is in production (meaning people use it).

I used this Rails Tutorial by Michael Hart (https://www.railstutorial.org/book) significantly. You will end up with a cool website at no cost at the end of the book.

I also highly recommend Codecademy courses on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Ruby.

If you are really serious about this stuff, which is great news, you might want to read more about making software. Start with the Pragmatic Programmer. It is a great book to read in your formative years.

And finally (this is important), try to solve a problem (like building a website for yourself or a friend etc) with programming. Learning just to know doesn't stick for long in my experience and probably is true for others.
Yeah I'm in the same situtation. Just haven't come across someone that's actually a user.
Nice job on serializer - there are now newsworthy articles on the front page that are missing from HN front page.

ps. I think you should set a max-width on the content area, I see you made it flexible probably for mobile but on larger displays the unlimited width makes your eyes move too much (meanwhile I'll fix it with stylish)
