This is a good observation. Yogurt for example is now something one buys packaged from a grocery store, after milk was pasteurized and deliberately (re)inoculated with the right mix of bacteria to induce lactic fermentation. This of course can occur naturally, but now we do it in a controlled and safe manner and thus is now a "processed food". Well, of course there are those that come with added "fruit" (not really). Same with Sauerkraut and even originally the curing of meats (Salami, Chorizo, de-hydrated meats, etc).

And that is different from most packaged, canned, boxed, foods which are clearly manufactured as they just wouldn't happen otherwise, in the way that ingredients are mixed and put together with the primary goals of making a product hyper-palatable (it sells), at lower cost and with a long shelf-life (minimizes risks), and only incidentally if at all, with any care for its nutritional value, in which case they throw in whatever fortifications will allow the vendor to claim certain nutritional benefit while not affecting negatively their ability to sell. These tend, as you mention, to just add sugar, fats and salt, in a way that one simply does not find in non-manufactured foods.

As they say, context matters. For example there are many who believe that salt intake by itself is not the problem, instead the optimal ratio of Sodium to Potassium is what becomes problematic. In latter years with all those added salts, Sodium intake has increased, while the lower share of natural foods has also meant a reduced intake of Potassium, throwing us off-balance from what a "normal" body needs.
I can imagine that part of his team's excellence and efficiency is due to not focusing on differences not directly relevant to technical problems:

Although Israel grapples with Jewish-Arab tensions all the time, none of it mattered in Srouji’s world. Cohn, who remains friends with him, says their different backgrounds never came up. “Technical people treat technical people based on personality and technical ability,” he says. “You don’t think about it. You just work together. The rest goes away.”
I worked in embedded development for much of my career. There is a pretty small supply of people who are interested and capable in the field, relative to the jobs available, especially for more junior positions. What Ive seen happen is companies will hire java developers to do C development because they have few other options (it often doesn't work out well). Just apply and you are likely to get people who will talk to you.
I eat low sodium, cycle 70 miles a week, run 30, and sweat buckets. I'm fine.

When I go traveling, I end up eating out a lot due to circumstances. The sodium intake bloats up the skin, yowzers! My wedding band gets stuck on my finger, when normally it slides off easily, and I lose a bit of definition. I hate how that looks and feels.
Well, I don't want to turn arbitrary surfaces into trackpads. I'd just like to be able to perform hand gestures in the air, above my keyboard. I don't need to perform them from across the room or anything like that. So that, to me, is the MVP- simply replacing my trackpad for gestures like pointing, clicking, dragging, zooming in MacOS.

But beyond that...

1. I don't want to wear anything on my hands.

2. I'd like to be able to program new gestures easily. Sort of like American sign language, I want to easily map a gesture to an action.

3. After replacing a trackpad, I'd want to be able to use my hands to manipulate a 3d environment. This requirement is pretty low on my list, because I never do anything in 3D. But it's necessary in the long run, once 3D applications become popular.
Go was designed to make tooling easy, and that tooling has been written: https://github.com/nsf/gocode/blob/master/README.md

> Try to drink plain water with sugar (not tee/coffee or anything else that bring own taste). It is just impossible to drink too much of it

This is blatantly not true in the US, you can observe any number of people anywhere drinking full sugar sodas all day long.
This is probably a pretty stupid question, but can you point me in the direction of some recommended reading or documentation regarding how i might go about using a web framework as a wrapper for a separate app?
I'm just getting started in python web dev, coming from PHP-MVC-framework-land and this idea is fascinating to me but i'm having a hard time conceptualizing how you would do it.

edit: to be clear, i've read Fowler and understand the idea of a multi-layered application i'm just having a hard time understanding how to achieve it technically.
This fucking sucks. I know Justin personally, and to see the vitriol being spewed forth at him makes my stomach churn. His blog post was clearly written out of frustration, and lacked nuance, but in no way does it justify the response it has received. None of these scathing articles or drive-by tweets are asking for clarification. Instead, his character is being assassinated as an extension of the growing fervor around income inequality and political correctness. If you have a problem with Justin's blog post, then write your own opinion about the problem and maybe highlight some potential solutions. Because if you're just using it as an opportunity to get your daily boost of self-righteousness you're just as complicate as the rest of us who are happy to go on about our daily lives ignoring problems like homelessness.

Seriously, fuck all this misplaced outrage and fuck these kinds of character assassinations of people with differing opinions. We're entering an age where it will be impossible to take a position that goes against the mob's mentality. The chilling effect will be severe and we will all be worse for it.
That's a little different; Hooli owns the IP because it was developed using Hooli resources. I am presuming the University wasn't claiming license to the professor's pool cleaning business, but rather prohibiting his use of their equipment for other enterprise.

My problem has been that if I stand up to quickly, I have a moment of dizziness. There are many variables; blood pressure, blood sugar, nervous system, altitude etc.

The more aware I am of my diet and how nutrition affects my body, I find the more sensitive I become to changes.

I cut coffee, bread, sugar, and beef/pork. I would eat very nutritious meals, and my energy levels and body felt amazing, but the stand up and be dizzy became more common.

Was I going through withdrawal? Is my body to accustomed to eating these foods? Should my theory be, "sugar and bread is ok as long as I eat other nutritious meals?"

I'm not sure, I'm still experimenting, and I'm utilizing the final month of my insurance with my parents to figure this out.

There are more than one kind of homeless person. There are the ones who simply fell on hard times and don't have money to pay for rent. There are the ones suffer addiction, there are the ones who suffer mental trauma there are the ones who have severe mental disorders, there are the ones avoiding regular society, etc.

Housing first works best for the fist class as well as those who have succumbed to addiction. Some of the others require intensive intervention, perhaps institutional. As someone pointed out, its complex, but it's something beyond any individual's purview, responsibility, etc., so inhabitants who do pay taxes, etc., should expect some kind of organization would be responsible for addressing the issue rather than the knee jerk public castigation for speaking one's opinion about a social issue.

That's precisely what he's saying.

This is the thesis of those who have been watching the explosion in solid state disks. The claim is that bulk I/O is becoming so damn fast that the pendulum is swinging toward computing power being the new limiting factor.
Because on HN it's considered poor form to say "I think you're full of shit" or "I don't like what you're saying", instead it's better to say "got a source?". It casts doubt on the truthfulness or provenance of the original poster's assertion, while still looking polite.
JITs for Javascript aren't comparable; at the time, nobody had C-based extensions for Javascript. It makes it a radically simpler problem.

Remove the "maintaining compatibility for C-based extensions" requirement, and you get, well, PyPy. And you also get a community split that makes 2/3 look trivial. Vast swathes of core Python code and libraries are really not "Python", but Python C-based bindings to custom code or C libraries.
I agree, most prefer the lifestyle because A) life is hard and B) they adapt and/or give-up.

There are 25,000 homeless in my city. I don't know exact numbers but a lot come here to pursue their dreams and some to escape a bad situation back home.

But it is so expensive here. Housing is difficult. Deception is everywhere, in terms of convincing people they have a chance at a career. But more often, they fall into drugs and prostitution, and running the streets -- because it is fun and easy, at first.

So an 18 year old kid who wants to be a singer, can run around meeting interesting people, act like he/she is achieving their dream but really is just partying. Then their irresponsible ways get them on the street.

And a once bright kid becomes diminished by drugs, and stress, and the struggle and emotional pain and torture that living on the streets causes. They then look "mentally ill" but most, in my experience, are merely exhausted and are irresponsible.

I have young friends who are homeless, and I'd start my day drinking coffee with them at Starbucks and then later eating breakfast at my building (a 5-star hotel) with people who could afford to feed a million people for a year.

And my rich friends, a lot are on drugs, and some do insane illegal things, and are generally way worse for society than my homeless friends. And I could often trust my homeless friends more than my rich ones.

At the time, I lived in an $8 million condo for free. And through a conflict of over our philosophies on pandering and prostitution, I moved out abruptly, and was nearly homeless myself. I then got to experience first hand the atrocious public transportation services, the difficulty in renting an apartment and how the City just doesn't care about working class people or the homeless.

The City is inept and just not thinking about solving the problems in a valid way. Instead, they take away electrical outlets in most areas which just punishes tourists, commuters, regular working people etc.

And great institutions, like the pubic libraries, which Carnegie saw as a way to lift up all of society, become refugees for the homeless.

Of course, the majority of homeless people are too far gone. Most are lazy, selfish, destructive and just terrible people.

Were they like that before or did they learn to be that way? Maybe if schools taught kids critical thinking skills and stoicism and how to separate themselves from the emotions, then we'd have a stronger society that knew how to deal with adversity better.

A lot of people, rich poor, smart or uneducated, are slightly fragile and weak. Life is hard, for us all, and society doesn't teach us how to live life very well.
Could just offer to buy Instacart or another service that is already established and stop trying to kill startups.
Considering the context of the sentence being around how 64-bit systems required app "rewrites", I'm guessing the fact that there are memory savings on devices that are running entirely 64-bit apps (because the system doesn't have to load 32-bit versions of libraries) might have journalistically transmogrified into "apps that don't hog as much memory."
Well said.

The so-called "sharing economy" could as well be called "fuck you economy".
Yes, trading desk developers can make more but again, my point was that most software engineers on wall st do not fall into that category as the OP asked. I am saying that the majority of developers on wall st don't make 300K and it is only the few that are either working on trading desk, hedge funds, prop trading etc.
...and get to know some of the homeless on a personal level.

Seriously, this is a human issue. We somehow look on these individuals as if they were almost non-human, yet they have powerful stories and painful experiences.

I'm not doing a good job at that but I try to make it a point to reach outside of my fully-customized bubble, and engage other people who could use some respect and human dignity. My impact is minimal in terms of numbers but chatting for 10 min with someone on the street can really make their day. Who knows, if it happens enough, that person may regain the courage it takes to get back in society and reach out to services that are more competent than I at helping in the details.
“I truly believe that engineers will do their best when they are constrained by either money, tools, or resources. If you become sloppy because you have too much money, that’s the wrong mindset.”

A very perceptive mindset, in my opinion.
I agree. I used to just use free weights for upper body, and only calf raises, and machines for leg presses and quads, but when I started squatting with just a barbell (non-guided), my lower back pain went away, and standing up off the mattress I had on the floor became a breeze. I jump rope and run as well (barefoot or with FiveFingers by Vibram). I find jumping rope to be a great way to get in 20 min. intense cardio to music. My last job was diving and fixing underwater hydraulics and electrical systems, and always walking with about maybe 3 hours sitting at a desk per day. Jumping rope, or the run, made me feel sharp many hours after. Sometimes weights would make me focus, and be very clear, but I tired and became groggy afterwards. I suspect your body takes a hit, and wants you to sleep to repair all the muscle you tore down.
What code have you tried?

Software “detects CEO emotions, predicts financial performance”
Not necessarily, this lady made it work: http://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/Software-engineer-l...
I'm already in my early 50s (today is my 51st birthday). One of the things I've learned after a couple of years of trying to build a startup is that I love working on my startup. I'd put twenty years into a career in enterprise IT, and it made me miserable. I realized that it's not the work itself I don't like - it's working for others, working on things I think are stupid and pointless and doomed.

The problem is this means for now, I'm working two jobs, and I'm heading for a rough transition to working just one and the financial implications of that. That's a lot of stress.

On the other hand, doing a job I have come to despise until I'm too old to do it anymore, instead of doing something that matters to me, that makes me feel meaningful and accomplished... that's a whole different kind of stress. That's the kind that grinds you down and wears you to a nub. Once you hit a certain age, perspective really starts to set in. I look around at people in their 40s and 50s, and they're broken. They think their best years and best opportunities are all behind them. I look at mine, and they're ahead of me. That keeps me alive.
> most of the homeless are not looking for help to find jobs and/or contribute to society in manner that will lead them out of "homelessness."

When I worked at a VA Medical Center 25 years ago, the problem was identical. You end up feeling more for the social workers than for the vets.
How many people do you actually think were doing this? It's not a common enough problem that it's worth killing open router software.

If the FCC wasn't planning to stomp on router manufacturers, they wouldn't be doing this. Make no mistake, it is the government killing innovation here.
Does anyone have an answer to why so many of the homeless in SF behave in such a way?

I have lived in major cities all my life that had varying degrees of homelessness. From my trips to SF I have been shocked to see the consistent and prevalent anti-social behaviour of the homeless.

Mental illness is obviously a large problem, but I would expect to see similar levels between the SF homeless and comparable cities.

Not trying to bait or take sides here, genuinely interested in what causes the difference in behaviour of SF homeless and their equivalents in other major cities.

How to Deploy an ArangoDB Cluster on Mesos with Persistent Storage
Nifty. I've always been a big fan of code generation.

How does Spark guarantee data memory contiguity(or do they at all)? Do they use misc.sun.unsafe or some form of memory management?
While this is obviously a fluff piece, its interesting to note that, what started as a management fuck-up - how the iPad Pro schedule was mismanaged - ended up with the management pushing the engineers to work harder while the reward went to the people responsible for the mess in the first place.

Choice quotes

"Apple had a problem". The blame always seems to be shared. How about - The management fucked up the release schedule.

"That gave most of Apple’s engineers more time."

"It gave a little-known executive named Johny Srouji much less."

So this makes it seem like it was harder on the executive than the people doing the actual work.
Has it become easier to run ad hoc queries with spark?
I remember a year ago that the only available solution was the job server by ooyala.
Which seems to be a missing feature of core Spark, and isn't something I was willing to bet my product on.

Datastax evangelized people to use Spark to run queries over Cassandra but it looks so awkward and time consuming to copy jars around to the master, basically you need a dev ops team to this and even more scriptology for production.
The problem is that this is a short-term solution. Yes, existing routers aren't going to magically stop working, as long as some moron doesn't reflash them with the latest TP-Link firmware for some dumb reason. And for a while, at least, people can buy current models off Ebay or whatever.

But eventually the supply will dry up and all that'll be available will be these locked-down routers, unless you're happy to use 10-20 year old hardware, which (if it even still works) will leave you out of whatever modern, advanced features routers have in 5-15 years. If some other frequency band becomes popular with mobile devices, or some new 802.11* standard comes about that's a big improvement somehow, then you won't be able to use that. Open-source projects like dd-wrt and OpenWrt will die out; who wants to keep working on a project that only works on ancient hardware?
With enough time and money anything's possible.
I will take that under advisement :)
Report from BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35601220
I think it takes a special kind of person to be forever sympathetic, the folks that work in soup kitchens and volunteer helping these people are to be applauded and recognised - it's not something I could do. For the average person when you interact with dozens of homeless people every single day you just become sort of immune after a few years...
I think your first problem is whitelisting HTML entities. Unless you're composing HTML-formatted email, it's usually better to use a different markup syntax like a minimal markdown or asciidoc that can safely be escaped.
2000 chronic homeless from what I have read. However, the city spends about $40000 per person that is not on the streets. A good article on the last 10 years or so: http://www.sfchronicle.com/archive/item/A-decade-of-homeless... 1 reason there are so many is probably because the city does try to help them and not abuse them like many cities. That and the mild weather...
> A lot of them prefer this "lifestyle"...

To the extent that's true, I suspect that says a lot more about the alternatives that they are presented with than anything else.
