How many have you suggested volunteer, and what were their thoughts after a semester?
Regarding your point about black women:

At least in North America, Black females, like Asian men, have a harder time in the dating scene partially due to their gender/ethnicity combination. Both sets endure media representation and stereotypes that play against their sexual desirability. I'm sure people here will profess that they are immune to any images cultivated by the media and I'm not going to discount their experience. However, I think it's naive to believe that images we consume on a daily basis, such as the gender/ethnicity makeup of desirable lead characters or negative representations in the news don't unconsciously affect us. Anecdotally, I have met more black men who said they would never date a black women and Asian women who said they'd never date Asian men compared to white people who say they'd never date a white person. Online dating stats from eHarmony, okCupid, and coffeemeetsbagel reinforce that observation.

On top of that, people generally have a statistical preference for those within their own race. And if black men have a higher tendency to be imprisoned than other men, that puts black women at an additional disadvantage to finding a partner.

I guess my overall point is issues black women face are very different and unique to what Hispanic/White/Asian women face.
I think we're on the same page; I was referring to triangulation, which would give the distance and not just direction.
How does Xcode work to manage its unadorned project folders, anyway? (I mean, I know it offers you that component that elevates and escapes the sandbox and sprays stuff into /Developer, but Xcode still works if you decline to install that.)

Setting Xcode aside, though, the idiomatic "modern OSX" model seems to be one where GUI apps have to own all the files they interact with, usually clumping them together into media-typed document bundle folders. (Xcode's mechanism wouldn't be nearly as inexplicable if the rest of the files lived inside the .xcodeproj.)

An idiomatic OSX text editor app would thus, naively, probably have to be quite crippled: the GUI app would have to simply copy your repo into a project document, and make all its edits in there. No ability to watch for git-initiated changes to the source dir or anything.

But I think there is still a way to idiomatically support the Unix philosophy of "small components, working together against shared files" in modern OSX. You just can't rely solely on GUI apps to enable it. Instead, you need a separate CLI component that "lives in" the un-sandboxed Unix world to be the manager of the Unix-style integration.

Imagine the text editor working on its project bundle, and then a separate CLI component sitting there and just monitoring both the project bundle, and the git working directory—and bidirectionally syncing between them. The sandboxed app still gets to be a sandboxed app, and "works" on its own when the component isn't installed. The component—brought in from outside the MAS, maybe through e.g. Homebrew—just makes extra magic happen.

I'm unsure why more MAS apps aren't designed like this, honestly. It's perfectly sensible for Development apps, at the very least; we all install Homebrew anyway.
I haven't heard of any credible connection between gravitational waves and multiverse theories.
Thanks for putting this together! I too was sad that the old site went down.
Imagine practicing a scale on the guitar. You could just repeat the scale over and over, but you could also add rhythmic variation, or play two notes up and one note down. Based on the article, it doesn't seem like moving the goalposts (ie, fret spacing) is the critical point, it's just that you don't want to just blindly do the same thing over and over and hope to get better.
> most of the engineers flailing around here work with PMs in their day job, whose job it is to do what isn't getting done here

Good PMs are hard to find, and the problem is far from solved. Some PMs add to the problem by adding more forms with even more mandatory fields that have very little to do with actual development and a lot to do with feeding into their "Project Reports". So, don't buy that beer too hastily.

This gives you the direction, but not distance which is an important component of triangulation. I should have been more clear in my original post. Is it plausible that we'll ever be able to determine distance through this method?

Yeah, that's pretty ugly. That's what the HN API returns as the comment text... super HTML-encoded for some reason. I'll try to undo more of it.
I actually practice out loud, sometimes in front of a mirror just to practice my mannerisms. It doesn't tend to work very well. At the time of speaking, you just go completely blank. Preparation doesn't help when the only thing you're mentally capable of doing is being ultra-aware of every inch of your body and facial patterns.

I have bipolar and social anxiety. When I'm in my "up", I can speak in front of a large crowd fairly easily and can't even come close when I'm in my down. Thing is, the two comorbids work together. If, for example, I mis-say something, my mood has a tendency to completely drop, which affects my social anxiety, which affects my mood, etc. It tends to last for about a week after that.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing can't be labeled as introversion vs extroversion. The problem is very, very complex and has many facets. Giving it an introversion label doesn't do any justice to the intensity of the problem. If anything, canonicalization of this sort seems to do more damage than good, as it gives a false sense of understanding of mental health.

After having a few long-term but ultimately unsuccessful relationships via online dating, I'm holding out for some god damn serendipity for the next one.

I don't believe in "the one" or any of that flighty bullshit, but I do feel there is just something different about the bond you make with another human if you just happen to find yourselves in a situation together, rather than the logical omniscience effect of knowing that you sort of engineered to be together, and knowing that they know that you know this, and so on.

Don't get me wrong. The few partners I've had from dating apps were amazing people and I'm glad to have known them. There's nothing wrong with finding partners that way and many people find a lot of happiness through it.

I think I just feel saturated by online dating and the pre-engineered and instant gratification feelings that can come along with it.

It reminds me of a DFW quote:

“Both destiny's kisses and its dope-slaps illustrate an individual person's basic personal powerlessness over the really meaningful events in his life: i.e. almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of Psst that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer.”

For sake of interest I feel compelled to mention that fossil[0] does have a fully-integrated ticket system[1] (and more[2][3]) that allows code to reference tickets, and tickets reference code. These tickets and full history are first-class artifacts that are part of the repository, so are carried from copy to copy, and updates are transmitted as part of synchronizing repos.

Of course there is more to project management than just tickets, but as a happy fossil user for many years, I do really appreciate the integrated ticket management.

This happens when you don't keep a strong firewall between upstream and downstream. When the enterprise development team is also the upstream team, it's a lot harder to say "no, we don't like this shitty idea that $bigCompany asked for".
Ansible has a nice workaround for this that might partially solve the problem and be less work than migrating away from GitHub. When you submit a ticket it forces you to fill in some required fields. Here's an example of a filled in issue:

Closed-source and open-source software is different in many ways. One little example is that open source software doesn't need to constantly grow features, it can live on with a slow rate of change for decades and be useful. (examples: bash, zsh, rsync, tar, ssh, vim, emacs, awk, sed, gnu screen ... the list is quite long)

gelo's reply (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11081227) suggests that the 'nearby powered antenna' is actually supported by the mast, and the mast itself is not an antenna.
That's a bit odd, as there has been a tremendous amount of framework code built for supporting various classes of device drivers since 2000, greatly reducing code you'd write or duplicate.

Huh? It's females that generally insist on marrying up, ergo insist on not marrying down. Males are much less picky in this regard.

CryptoNets:Applying Neural Nets to Encrypted Data with High Throughput and Accuracy
Like I said, the president is not the US. Congress, not the president, appropriates money, and Israel has a lot of support among the American people and in Congress. What Obama thinks about money going to Israel is pretty much irrelevant unless it's something over which he'd be prepared to get into a big budget fight. Which he'd probably lose.

The president has gone out of his way to show the Israelis he doesn't like or respect them. He undermines them at every opportunity. Were I Netanyahu I wouldn't give Obama the time of day. I'd fly in, give my speech to Congress, and then leave without ever going to the White House.

Well, the problem is that since you can plop down notes anywhere you like and drag them out to any length, the notation algorithm has to be very good at quantization. (Did you really mean to put a dotted thirty-second note triplet in there or was it just sloppy writing?) Also, each instrumental layer in the app is polyphonic, and notes can overlap each other any number of times. It's not always possible to cleanly assign notes to discrete voices, which traditional notation kind of demands.

I realize it's probably not a satisfying answer, but the way I see Composer's Sketchpad fitting into people's lives is that they use the app to work out their rough drafts and then recreate the finished, pristine pieces by hand in their preferred notation software or sequencer. Still, it's definitely on my potential feature list.

(Technically, you can already convert your pieces to notation by exporting to MIDI and importing it into a DAW like Logic, which supports traditional notation as one of its views. MuseScore also allows for MIDI import, and I think it does a bit of a better job.)

I completely agree that traditional notation is the way to go for live performance and certainly not antiquated in that regard. However, you're not going to be reading guitar solos off a sheet of staff paper, either! I mostly designed the app with interactive composition in mind, not performance.
I'm thinking more along the lines of practicing different scales, arpeggios and pieces each time, and practicing several different things instead of repeatedly practicing a single thing. Unfortunately, though, as an amateur violinist, I can say that this approach is not all that feasible after a certain level. Varying your warm-ups like what scales, arpeggios and etudes you play might be a good idea, but in the end the only really effective way of mastering a piece is to play it over and over, mostly in small sections, until you get it right. If you just scim over it each time, you're probably going to let mistakes slip in and ferment. But maybe changing something less related to the actual activity more in line with what you suggested might also work - lowering and raising the music stand and piano stool or chair, changing instruments or location, etc.
Most definitely. No apology necessary.

It's wrong because s/he assumes that men collect money to "have power over women". That's a 180 degree wrong perception of reality. Men gather money to have power over other men! By being the "best man" (rockstar, CEO, famous actor, mafia boss, most popular kid in high school, a prince), and having the greatest social status, you get disproportionate access to women/sex; it doesn't really matter if it's money that gives you power or something else, it's just that money is increasingly important in our world.
> They chose to use tax money

Non-existent tax money as of now. The way the incentives work, Tesla would have to generate enough business activity (revenues, sales, profits) to accrue that tax liability. It's quite possible that business activity will never materialize, the tax liability will fail to accrue, and the incentive won't even have a chance to kick in.

The state is making a bet that (a) such activity will materialize, (b) once materialized, it will draw such a high amount of ancillary business (suppliers, resellers, distributors, etc.) and residential (property, shopping) activity that it will more than compensate for lost revenue.

The bet is not completely uneducated as case studies from the past (mainly around Texas cities attracting Nissan and then Toyota away from Californian cities) suggest that overall it's worth it.

Wow, that was a pretty interesting article, and that's from someone who had no interest in Cave Story before reading it.

Ths said, are you going to write any more articles any time soon? Because I checked your site, and while I saw another one related to Super Meat Boy, it seemed like those were the only two game design articles you'd written (or articles on the site, period).

That's a shame really, since decent stuff about game design is pretty hard to find online, especially given how some of the people whose sites I used to follow have stopped writing recently.

So keep writing. Your work is more interesting than anything I've seen on a mainstream gaming site in a while.

P.S. Also, if you're interested in reading more on game design, I'd suggest looking up Critical Gaming and reading Daniel Johnson's book on Wario Land 4's design. That's a pretty interesting read in itself.

How to Set Up a Microservices Architecture in Ruby: A Step by Step Guide
The kinesthetic sense is one of your internal senses. It tells you the position of your body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception

With intense focus you can trick it so it feels like your body is in a different position than it is. But you usually still know your body's true position from other senses so it ends up feeling like you're in two positions at the same time.

It's quite trippy.
Could be an anthropic explanation for that. In a solar system with a hypothetically-"normal" Oort cloud, comets and debris from the cloud might wipe out life on the habitable inner planets every few hundred million years, never allowing it to advance to human-like levels.

So we might be here only because our solar system is surrounded by an unusual amount of nothing.

Once you reach a certain level in earnings you will have a very hard time finding someone that earns approximately the same amount.

I'm sure that this is currently even harder for men.

In this situation you really only have the choice to either marry down or never have a family of your own and stay alone for the rest of your life.

The thing is, you don't really "marry down". Usually people in the US/EU don't have to fear that they will have to face starvation or anything like that if they marry the wrong women/man so what is marrying down even about?

If one partner already has a lot of resources, why would he/she then require the other partner to be his/her equal in this regard?

When you remove economic resources from the equation you'll find that there are many perfectly fine potential partners out there with all the attributes that one could hope for.

From what I've seen, I don't think they actually expect to meet George Clooney. After living with their independence and high paying job, 100% of which they can spend on them-self, usually enabling tons of international travel. They don't actually want to settle down and put work into a relationship, but their friends and family constantly pester them to do so.

So they settle for appearing desperate to keep their friends and family happy, but keeping standards high so that either the sacrifices to have a relationship would be worth it to them or they don't get a relationship they didn't want anyway.

I don't think that phones are secure, but people do use them for things like 2-factor authentication. I suppose that it is the form-factor that is more relevant, since most phones are smaller than a TI-83, so much so that people are willing to carry them around everywhere.

Ultimately, what I envision would be a cross between a Blackberry (size, QWERTY keyboard) and the TI-83 (focus on being a simpler, lower-end computer). Heck, one may as well give it a unix-like OS and leave out wireless communications and sophisticated graphics. I think this is feasible, but the market would be quite small.
