I can imagine there are tools that are even better than Flask for this task in some ways. Just like there are tools better than the Swiss Army knife. The thing is, there has basically never been a situation where Flask has left me wanting more, so for me it's 'good enough', thus if I try anything else it's hard to justify the cost. But for someone who's still searching I'm sure it's a good idea to check it out.

I love the analytical nature of this answer. Obviously some of it is based on experience, but do you have any resources you could point to for learning the math and principles behind this? Like a "Startup Equity Principles for Dummies" set of links?
iTerm2 is the most beautiful, customizable and usable OS X terminal replacement in the history of everything. Full stop.

Go2shell also makes iTerm2 slightly even better, just don't mistype it without that 's'.

Sadly, iTerm2 doesn't make coffee or answer email, and for these couple of trivial, unrealistic failings I'm anonymously internet outraged with a cohort petition of at least 235k signatures so far to have your head boiled in stew for Christmas dinner served with canapés, yorkshire pudding and choclate creme pie. Yum. Can't wait. :-)

Leaping to somewhat serious now: another project support stream is actually cool schwag: stickers, t-shirts, mugs, hats, tech bits, so forth.. Some limited edition stuff.

A brief tour of Nokogiri decorators
So when are we going to create glasses with cameras and ear pieces that create images of the view in front of them and convert to sounds using hilbert curves and help deaf people see?

I imagine this is already feasible. We would need to give them time to pick up the skill by letting them loose in some kind of training situations so they know what everything looks like and can distinguish things passing by.

The only thing I'm not certain of is how long the training would take before some basic recognition is possible amidst the already present noise of every day life. I do know that when you lose a sense though your other senses get sharpened to compensate, and that might improve the adaptation period.

edit: we could also give these to seeing people to help retain their acuity as they age.
And yet, statistically, very few people have self-actualization urges beyond using them as a means to attract a mate and reproducing.
I have been a long time Visor/TotalTerminal user and wanted to try iTerm2 on 10.11 but was concerned with its use of the Sparkle updater framework. I could find no sign through all of my research if confirm if updates are performed through https instead of http and I declined to install it. I also couldn't find a way to contact the anyone to ask, so I'm glad you posted. So? What does it use? Don't you think this may be worth noting on the announcement or changelog?
I'd very much like to know more about your setup, which libraries you've picked and what your server arrangement looks like. Any chance I could learn more about what you've done?

Can you expand on your Windows Defender statement? I've heard nothing but good things from techs about it. I know it's not useful against zero days because it is signature based, but uses less system resources as a result.
The name 'Kronecker delta' is meaningful to me.

There are two delta functions commonly used in mathematics, the Dirac Delta function, and Kronecker's delta. One is a discrete function, the other is continuous.

Kronecker, a mathematician who was obsessed with the finite, who tried to destroy Cantor's Set Theory, and to some extent, Cantor himself, is unsurprisingly the one associated with the discrete version.

Dirac, a physicist, used in in his book on Quantum Mechanics, and finds lots of use in Physics. Unsurprisingly, it's going to be the continuous version of the thing.

In mathematics, the history of ideas is caught up in the function of the ideas. Sometimes, to understand something, the easiest way is to look back at the problems that resulted in the development of the idea. In times before source control and git blame, it's actually quite helpful to attach the inventor's name to the concept. This is not, of course, the primary reason for the attachment (and many times, the history is more complicated and interesting), but it doesn't mean that it isn't useful.

Amazing work. This app has so many features that I think go unnoticed to many. I recommend going through all of the tips of the day (iTerm2 -> Show Tip of the Day) and perusing the various preferences available in the app.

That's about what I was thinking. Hell, if there's a standard set of firmware that most, or even just most cheap ones ship with, then it might even work for a large chunk of the units in the wild.

This is a great article. There are some things it doesn't point out.

1) Marriage is a contract, but unlike most contracts, its terms and conditions can change at any time without the consent or knowledge of either party. That is to say, politicians decide the terms and conditions, and your marriage isn't grandfathered through with the laws in place at the time it was consummated.

2) As of today, the outcome of divorce (how assets are distributed) is overwhelmingly in favor of the female, assuming a mixed-gender marriage. This is one of the reasons for the large gap in divorce initiations: women profit far more, and thus more often end the marriage.

There are a couple more conclusions you can draw about whether you should do more due diligence on the person you're about to marry.

1) If you're female, you can be far less concerned. If it turns out to be the wrong guy, just divorce him. If anything, you'll get assets and a livable wage for no effort for years.

2) If you're male, you should be far more concerned. You need to do 10-50x more work vetting your future partner than your parents and grandparents did.

3) The divorce laws in 5 years may be completely different than today. Be sure to plan for how the political climate will change in the future.

I have been married more than once, so as you can imagine, I've had to put a lot of thought into this matter. The marriage that ended is responsible for reducing my wages, which should lead me to living comfortably in San Francisco, to being required to live with roommates. There is a large amount of danger involved in marriage, so make sure you understand the dangers before pulling the trigger.

EDIT: The reduction in income also has prevented me from working at several really great startups and instead having to slave at more profitable companies like ad networks etc. These go against my moral compass, so for me, at least, divorce also led to me having to contribute to increasing evil in the world. This is a huge personal hit that is hard to understate.
Sure, there can be one error between scrub and read. But assuming RAID, you need errors on two disks. That can happen in a week or however often you scrub, but that's going to be pretty low probability.
I was in a similar situation to the GP. Desirability and bad habits are not the issues. You're blaming the victim.

You can't compete against someone else's selfishness. You will lose every time. The only thing to do is to walk away, but in the context of a marriage, it's not easy to do.

My ex is still indescribably selfish five years later. She still wants to appear to be a good mother at the expense of actually being a good mother. She still tries to sacrifice my career and passions so that she can suit her whims. She tries to push our daughter on me during her custody period all the time (after fighting for more custody and costing us both $$$). And she still blames me, through a series of seriously twisted thoughts, for the dissolution of our marriage.

During the marriage, surviving her selfishness was the only thing possible. It wasn't that I wasn't focusing on my health and happiness. It was that those things were being taken from me more quickly than I could generate them. And I had to protect my child's psyche from her as well.

I don't think anyone would describe me as a "nice guy". I have a very low tolerance for bullshit and have no problems saying exactly how I feel or saying no. But I expect a partner in a relationship, not someone who I have to grab by the scruff of the neck in order to get them to not be a shitty person.

You're kind of arguing against meritocracy here. The elite groups exist everywhere. Aren't Ivies elite by your definition? Why should they exist and provide better career opportunities to their students?

YCombinator doesn't exist to favour one group of people arbitrarily. It exists so that it can identify the most promising startups and help them a little through their journey. IMHO.
> The twist, of course, is that for the longest time we’ve thought of that metaphor in terms of a firm trapping everyone inside its own systems. That’s not what it means anymore.

That's never what it was about. But cool, I'm glad you're finally realizing the point of it all.
The suspicion is that diversity of ideas and experiences allow groups to more easily evolve and solve problems. Even in a room full of males, if some come from different industries, they may more easily be able to pull together best practices each other had never heard of. Does this also apply to age, gender, ethnic, and cultural background? May be it doesn't.

At the least I believe that this gives the US a huge advantage in attracting talent because the best from around the world can feel more at home here.

This needs to be observed through long term economic endurance rather than measurements of shorter term investment-driven growth like China, Japan, or Brazil experienced.
>>Also, part of the point of a Google style interview is to keep pushing you to the point where your ability fails, then push in another direction to the point your ability fails. That way, they get an idea of the dimensions of your skill-set. The vast majority of the people I recommended hiring didn't answer the questions perfectly.<<

I can't even begin to tell you how valuable I consider this approach to be...pushing (or leading) a candidate in every conceivable direction until failure is reached or limits are exposed...

HR professionals in almost any profession would benefit from implementing this technique to the extent that their resources allow...most don't have the luxury of time...

Example: As a member of a non-profit board I was once tasked with performing screening interviews for 5 candidates who were applying for a Camp Ranger position at one of the organization's youth camps...

I was not an HR expert then (or now), so I jotted down a few interview questions and scheduled interviews with the candidates...each one to begin at 8:00am at the site, and to last as long as it took...one per day...

I simply walked around the site, visited with the candidates, asked about their experience, and did everything I could to encourage them to "reveal" themselves...

I eliminated 2 candidates by around 10:00am, 2 more around 11:00am, and ended up driving to town for a burger lunch with the 5th...I later recommended the fifth...

He was hired, and ended up doing an incredible job...

I ended up giving other board members the impression that I knew what I was doing...at the time I most certainly did not...but I filed that lesson away...

I am convinced that a commitment to open-ended interview time, combined with "soft" skills probing, are critical if you want to properly evaluate candidates...
I've heard many people talk about a "two-year cliff". The exact date is immaterial, but for many there's a point in a relationship where it's going to continue a long time or die out. I think this plays a major role.

Basically, that's about how long it takes to really recognize people's patterns. Everyone has stuff like this, particular irrationalities and foibles that are, in general, not so good. The first time they happen, it's a new experience and you just deal with it. The next time it happens, there might be some added frustration and a sense of familiarity. The third or fourth, and you're really starting to get desperate if you haven't found a way to deal with it.

If you can recognize your partner's patterns and deal with them, you'll both benefit greatly. Sometimes it's like a switch has been flipped and you know with certainty that they're being irrational in their particular way. With some empathy and perhaps a little cleverness, you can deal with this effectively. However, if you miss your chance, the frustration kicks in with a vengeance. The same well-worn argument can feel inevitable and downright despairing.

I think most successful relationships deal with this through some combination of patience and empathy, but also with some good match-making. Some people are just better able to tolerate particular faults better than others.
The man who could stop planes
Please, Dianne Feinstein is equally supportive. This doesn't align well with the parties -- hawks in both parties are bad about it, while each party has factions that are pro-liberty on this issue. Ted Cruz, for example, took a lot of heat from Rubio and Christie over his pro-encryption stance. Hillary is pretty weak on the issue.
When you enroll in TouchID they strongly suggest a real password (instead of a code). Also I believe Apple upped the base requirement to 6 digits in iOS 9 or so.
I can't imagine there isn't some way you could smash the memory on an iPhone to disable the lockout (I mean, all you have to do is keep the counter from going down, this is just like cheating in a video game.) If you don't want to enter all the codes by hand you should be able to mess up the digitizer somehow.

If you were willing to sacrifice 10 or so phones this wouldn't be hard at all, you could pay $10,000 to a few different e-lancers, one of them would succeed...
> Which means you can declare an interface that foreign packages already conform to, and then freely use them.

Except that it is very difficult to find out which struct implements what interface, you'd have to go look through the code. Not to mention there is always the possibility of accidentally implementing an interface. This has already caused real issues it seems (there was a blog post about it).

There already exists a solution for this issue, via typeclasses.

But golang doesn't have generics.

> At its core, Apple knows it’s a hardware company.

I am surprised by how often I see this statement repeated. No. Apple makes systems: hardware and software that work together. There are exceptions, of course, but to call them a hardware company misses the point. Dell is a hardware company that will never make a Windows machine as good as Microsoft would like them to. Google and Microsoft are now making hardware to go with their software so that their systems work as intended and they aren't at the mercy of hardware makers with different agendas, becoming more like Apple in this respect.
> pretty much indistinguishable

haha no, they either use completely fake screen/glass, or fancier "higher quality" (as in not completely shit) recycled gorilla glass + counterfeit screen combo.

What is worse there are no 100% reliable sources of spare parts and you can never be confident about the next shipment.
inb4 facebook resolves this issue by banning anyone who's connected 24/7. (that wouldn't solve the problem either way, btw -- a small group of people could conspire to pull this data at irregular intervals and then share the data with one-another to get a more complete picture while still staying reasonably undetectable if done right.)
Part of the magic of working at Google is there are lots of projects that can make you feel that way.

> indeed what puzzles me most in the public discussion is that it revolves around the effects to US citizens.

Well, debates about US laws involve how those laws affect things and people within US jurisdiction, who are almost entirely US residents.

And IMO it's a very very good thing when judges decide based on what the actual law is, rather than based on what some transnational corporation's balance sheet might look like next quarter.

> genuinely had tough problems where if they accidentally did something in O(N^2), their half-day compute job would suddenly literally take centuries to complete.

Yes, but this has almost zero bearing on the actual interview. Being able to avoid this in real life means that you measure twice and cut once, you pay attention, and you ask for help and training. Being able to do something similar with dynamic programming or tree riddles in an interview has absolutely nothing to do with those longer-view skills.

> Google really needs most of their engineers that will naturally spot this kind of thing in code reviews, because if every engineer on the indexing team made a mistake like that once a year, the indexing system would always run at half speed, sometimes even 1/3 or 1/4 speed.

Again, this has nothing to do with puzzle interviews. In this case, you could hire smart people almost independently of whether they had encountered certain data structures before, and certainly without much concern about how fast they could spot things like this in an interview setting. And instead, hire for general aptitude, and then invest in training someone to be able to spot these things to the necessary degree.

Even though you can provide impressive-seeming examples of problems where minor tweaks in complexity or subtle implementation-specific points about data structures can result in huge problems, it's still not supportive of whiteboard-hazing style interviews that test more for interview aptitude than anything else.

After all, whoever it was that wrote the ML regex job, that person passed the interviews (and that person may have rightfully passed the interviews and deserved to work for Google, even after this later evidence that they weren't careful enough in one case).
Why would I not take issue with that? If you used public money for a study, you should be required by law to release the data.
if it's not default yet it's a serious bug. a server should still come up completely with one disk in a mirror.

It was Shkrelli playing League of Legends and shit talking some of the twitch audience. He was waving a Bernie funding thank you letter around a bit (though the top left corner was torn so he might've removed the addressed to part from a friend's thank you letter). Figured some of HN might have been curious.
Apple has admin privileges on your device so it is trivial for them to record encryption keys... They probably encrypt the PIN/key on the local drive for easy decryption later without owner's consent (they are probably forced to do it by some secret government order and can't acknowledge it)...
Good point!

I didn't think of that.

3 minutes does seem like the kind of time an engineer would code into their app.

So does that mean that the spiky periods are times when people are online the whole time?
