As an over-50 programmer who likes to learn, I'm gonna talk about something totally unrelated to programming...

I'm a musician. I've been playing guitar since I was a teenager. As a technician, I've peaked out. I will probably never play faster, cleaner, or more complex than I do now. If anything, I'll start to go downhill as age takes its toll on my hands. But as a musician, I'm always getting better. I'm growing more conscious, more sensitive, more subtle, more sophisticated. I'm a better musician now than I was a year ago, and a far better musician than I was five years ago.

There's a similar thing in software. When you're still learning, still approaching real expertise, it's easy to think that being a great software engineer is about technique. It's not. I know a bunch of over-50 programmers. Sure, many are basically dead in the water, but many are not, and are constantly improving. It's not because they learn a new language, or a new framework. It's because they learn better taste. They learn more and more what is and is not important, how long things will take, best use of resources, translating requirements more effectively... these things will all make you a better engineer than writing glorified Hello Worlds in framework-of-the-month ever will.
Pretty sure that UI feature predates 3d touch many years.

TL;DR: Highly successful strategy of not marginalizing (both socially and legally) and actually helping addicts: cuts costs, cuts problems, decreases addicts.
Seam carving is cool! And there are even better methods out there - for anyone interested, this is a great starting point: http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/papers/retBenchmark.pdf

All of these methods have advantages, but it's pretty hard to out-weight the simplicity of cropping, especially if you're sensitive to bad results.
But that's kinda the thing; how do you end up finding out about them? Unlike buttons which appear on-screen, 3D touch interfaces aren't immediately visible and require special onboarding, which isn't always great even with conventional features.

Another example, a great feature in Google Maps on mobile is the ability to zoom with one hand. You double tap and drag (tap, tap-and-hold, drag), but I only figured this out because some blog talked about it. From what I can tell there are no instructions in the app that tell you about this feature, and I see this as being in the same vein as 3D touch. Sure it's great, but if people don't know about it or can't learn about it easily, they won't reap the benefits.
It's great when it works, but it's a shame that it barely works. There is clearly some state machine with lots of states that don't let you activate the trackpad.
Good for you. As long as you have more than you need, you're ahead of the game.

I don't like money either, but I also have a house, 2 cars, a wife and kid.... And I'm underpaid and happy. I have a nice job with a good work life balance (as in <40h on average) and so I actually have time on the side for projects I really enjoy. I have (growing) savings and a 401k. There's no reason to waste your life on the love of money. Just know your needs and make enough to cover them.

I still kind of wish they'd bring back the iPhone 4 industrial design; as far as I'm concerned it was their high point. The 5/5S is a close second, though.

Have you considered picking up some open-source games like Saurbraten or Nexuiz?

There are some solid fast-paced FPS games out there that you could probably integrate with without too many issues.

It would be awesome if they released this data for another edition of the Netflix challenge, Then we could all try this ourselves!
I noticed this too. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that several inches of the floor are taken up by the batteries. I would not expect the Model 3 to be any better in this regard, and if it's a smaller car, as is rumored, I'd expect it to be worse.
Interesting. From the Wikipedia article: "A 2010 review of eight image retargeting methods found that seam carving produced output that was ranked among the worst of the tested algorithms. It was, however, a part of one of the highest-ranking algorithms: the multi-operator extension mentioned above (combined with cropping and scaling)."

Here is the paper: http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/papers/retBenchmark.pdf

Don't have time to read the paper, but I wonder if it didn't perform well because of the algorithm that calculated the energy levels?

Edit:
The paper seems to suggest that an algorithm for retargeting of streaming video [1] was rated highest by human viewers.

Italy fines the customer rather than the shop keeper, or did I misunderstand what you said?
Another option is to perform a sleep study at home. You borrow a wearable device that records your sleep quality, breath, ECG, etc. You wear it over night, then turn it in for analysis.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea are if you're regularly tired without apparent reason or experience a reduced ability to concentrate during daytime, or if your surrounding complains that you snore loudly.

But, aren't "obscene levels of inequality" only obscene related to a few decades post WW2, which many people seem to take as a normal, but which is really rather unusual? The statement talks about "highest inequality ever", and I really don't see how any society can be much more unequal now than it was even 100 years ago -- not to mention any time before then...
1) National infrastructure for self-directed learning. It will be something more than traditional homeschooling, but something less than classroom driven private or public schools.

2) Personalizing content delivery to 1 on 1. (Having multiple videos per content area and figuring which works best for each learner - or perhaps videos that can be spliced together in real time based on the learner)

Their secret sauce is the data on student understanding available to teachers, not the videos themselves.
I don't know kubernetes, but looks like it solves many of those issues already. I still believe the HA might be a challenge.

Typically to make the database highly available you might set up a second one (or perhaps more) that replicates from the master. This can become problematic if the postgres containers will be moved around.

As I said, I don't know kubernetes, if you for example can have containers that have state (e.g. you destroy and recreate it somewhere else, and they are exactly same) and also keep the same IP then this is not an issue, but if when you move it around and each instance is technically a new postgres, then such setup might become problematic.

Regarding your question, the traditional way of running it is that you set up a host and run postgres on it. It doesn't move around so you need those solutions. Granted that for example if you implement service discovery for example if something happens to a host, you can set up another and quickly point everything to it.
This is not true. You may be confusing freedom and power.
This is the view of one private attorney, and one that has not been tested in any court and is definitely a minority view. I would be highly skeptical of his opinion (and I am surprised this attorney was willing to attach his name to it publicly).

The iPhone 5/5S was arguably their best industrial design (I prefer the look and feel of the 4, but the glass back posed a practical problem, as did the external antenna). It's very popular. I'm considering getting this to replace my 5S, because I really don't like the 6/6S design and size very much.
Apparently, something doesn't even have to be written before someone finds something to complain over.
I haven't looked at an iPhone in a while but doesn't the SE look a lot thicker than people would like in 2016? Is that because of bigger battery or Apple wanted to differentiate on thickness?

It's good to see they are making a $399 model available - but I am not sure it had to be this small and this thick. A 1080p 4.7" model would have been the sweet spot at this price point.
Sure, future administrations are complicit, but people didn't really "believe" the way Nixon believed until he brought the full power of the Federal government and an extensive political organization to spread fear in the general populace.

Up until that point, enough people didn't believe in his course of action that his own people wouldn't give him the answers he wanted.

Depends on how the app is programmed.
That will remain to be seen. Every iPhone, iPad, and Mac Apple is selling right now has a headphone jack.
Skipping taxes and using cash is only a problem if it's too widespread and the government really has genuine trouble collecting money even for the most basic needs of the society. Luckily, using cash to evade taxes is practically only possible for small entrepreneurs who can manage maintaining both the real income flow and the official income flow, and these people are also those who benefit from it the most.

It's the big businesses who practically need to log all sales and transactions by the book. Companies which have lots of employees and locations can't possibly maintain such double books in practice, not to mention keep it secret. (They can try smart "tax planning" via remote jurisdictions and tax havens though, which on the other hand isn't generally available for the local entrepreneurs.)

However, if you buy a lunch or pay your barber with cash, is it right that he gets your cash and the government gets nothing? Wrong. The minute the bistro owner or barber goes buy food from a chain store or fills up at the petrol station, VAT and other taxes will be paid and the money will re-enter the official circulation.

At best the money will bounce a few times between a few local entrepreneurs until it eventually becomes taxed again. How much effort is worth spending trying to chase these pennies?

What if efficient taxation reduces the amount of transactions? This happens all the time, and then both the tax man and the entrepreneurs lose.

What if all that unaccounted local cash flow actually lubricates the economy, making better and more efficient use of money, and thus generates larger total taxable flow of money?

The percentage of untaxed cash flow also serves as an indicator of how aligned people are with the government taxation level. If people are willing to make lengthy efforts to avoid taxes repeatedly, then maybe taxes are too high. If they only do it when it's convenient or for local shops, then maybe everything is close to fine.

It's not so black and white whether it's a "huge cost for society" as it's also "beneficial to society". The question is about trade-offs which need to be balanced, not overruled.
It's really weird how you must wait a short moment after touching the keyboard until you can hard-press, or it will just ignore you. Then you let go, and now you accidentally typed a letter...

would have worked better with a button on the keyboard that turns it into a trackpad.
It's worse than that. Suppose you have N sellers selling the same item through Amazon using "fulfilled by Amazon". Each of the N sellers ships stock to Amazon.

Amazon just keeps track of the total number of items each of the N sellers sent, not which particular items came from which seller.

When a customer orders, and picks seller #1 as his seller, Amazon just pulls one from the pile and sends it, and records that seller #1 has one less item attributed to them.

This means that if any seller ships counterfeit items to Amazon, those could end up used to fulfill an "fulfilled by Amazon" order from any other seller of that item!

When the customer pissed off customer then comes and gives a bad review, it will go to their seller even though that seller may be 100% genuine.

Worse, Amazon has no idea which seller actually supplied to counterfeit item, so they act is if it was the seller for that particular sale. That seller gets dinged, and if this happens enough times he gets kicked out of fulfilled by Amazon. (And when that happens, Amazon screws him even more. Suppose that seller logically has K items in stock at Amazon. Amazon gives the seller a choice: pay to have K items shipped back at the seller's expense using a shipping method selected by Amazon, or abandon the items. If the seller elects to have the items shipped back, he gets K random items from the pool so that even if that seller only sent genuine items he may get back counterfeits that other sellers supplied. It often won't be worth it, because Amazon picks expensive shipping methods, so often the seller ends up simply losing their inventory).

There have been allegations that unscrupulous sellers have purposefully taken advantage of this. Suppose seller #1 is a big seller, doing a lot of business. You are a small seller, not doing much business because #1 has great ratings and better prices than you. So you do this:

1. Raise your prices high enough that no one will pick you over seller #1.

2. Ship a bunch of counterfeit items to Amazon to poison the pool.

Since seller #1 sells way more items than you, most of those counterfeits you shipped to Amazon will end up going to #1's customers. This hurts #1's reputation, and if you get lucky gets #1 kicked off of Amazon.
If their pricing decision creates a shortage, that meets the technical definition of an artificial shortage. The term doesn't necessarily have a negative connotation.

In the steady state a market 'naturally' balances supply and demand through pricing. If you choose not to do that, the effects you create are 'artificial'.
The Apple Keyboard is worth it alone IMO.

I've had most versions of previous iPads, and I've spent hundreds and hundreds on keyboards that are generally: Too Heavy, MicroUSB, non-Mac layout or otherwise flawed.

The down-stroke on the 12.9" iPad Pro Apple Keyboard takes a little getting used to, but it's otherwise very similar to my MacBook keyboard. Which puts it way ahead of any Logitech, Belkin, etc keyboard I've ever used on my old iPads.

It's great to just go to a trusted source, buy the thing, and it does what you expect.

So that's a major upgrade for the 9.7" version (IMO). There's nothing I can't do on my iPad Pro that I do on my Macbook aside from running IntelliJ and writing web apps. (There's "solutions" for that I guess, but not ones that I want to actually use yet.)

Also because of the screen size I guess, responsive websites think it's a desktop. Which is great. Because responsive usually just means "let me remove a lot of core features entirely and not actually make it any more usable" for 9 out of 10 sites IME.
They explain that not all of the images they want are faces in this case, so you'd have to train your own on "interesting regions" (though there is some work in that area). Part of the challenge in that case is generating all your labels for what the interesting regions are. This way they don't need to generate labels, at least.
Yes, that's what I meant by "you can't pour a glass of <some obviously enumerable item>" - same principle, pithier expression of it, said in response to an incorrect usage of "less", e.g.:

"He has less dogs than I do", "you mean 'fewer' since you can't pour a glass of dogs"
I couldn't disagree with this more. Just because you have 100 days of "coding" straight, doesn't mean it's just coding. It could be docs or anything else that's required. And most of those days look light. This is more like getting a habbit formed, then actually working 7 days a week. I mean look at my commit log: https://github.com/timothycrosley/, I plan on doing this the rest of my life. In reality, I've been coding every single day since I was 8. I'm now 26.
Jumio files for bankruptcy, will sell assets to early backer Eduardo Saverin
Nebraska and Oklahoma continue to fund cartels south of the border when they could start funding their schools and help their budget shortfalls, not to mention contribute to personal freedom, just by ending prohibition.

Just another day in 'states rights' focused states that aren't adult enough to understand what that means. People voted this in en masse, does NE and OK hate freedom?

Colorado, Washington, Alaska, Oregon, DC are all asking the country when we are going to stop funding the black market and cartels.

States continuing to fight a losing and unneeded prohibition battle, will continue to send hundreds of millions and probably billions south to cartels that are quite rich while states budgets are poor. It is time that it ends across the board and quickly. What a waste of time and money prohibition has been.

The moralistic laws from last century making non-violent personal acts into crimes needs to end. It is too costly and the result is a black market with cartels awash in billions and billions.

Ipad pro vs tablets is basically pen vs pencil.

I'm a developer who can't draw. I've used palm, wacom tablets, samsung pen and a window "tablet" from 2008. I've used it to draw stick figures, notes and maybe a math equation or two.

I've played around with an Ipad pro and watched a ux designer use one.

Assuming you can actually draw, Ipad pro seems to be much better. It has a different feel than a regular stylus, it seems easier to shade and sketch than a regular stylus.

While it seems nice, it seems to be a niche devices.
That looks amazing, and relatively easy to implement. However it seems that Mitsubishi owns a patent on it, so maybe we will start seeing it used in __ years when they expire.
Yes, but if the Concorde slows from Mach 2 to 0 over 45 mins then it's average may be ~mach 1. Which is faster than the average velocity of a normal 747.

Granted, if the Concorde shows up and needs to circle the airport for 20 minutes then that's the same delay.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I agree that going all out 100% is not sustainable. Don't be fooled by the GitHub streak. Some days its a bug fix, a test or some documentation. At some point I got addicted to maintaining the streak and actually made a conscious decision to stop at 100. What it represents though is consistency. Even a little bit of progress everyday is something. The comment about taking a step back to evaluate, it's true. The reason the project has gotten so far is because I've been very thoughtful about the interfaces, sometimes spending 4-5 days thinking about adding a feature before getting to it, evaluating all the scenarios of use.

Appreciate the comments.
So it makes as much money as Uber instead of Walmart? Just because it's not the biggest doesn't mean it's not big.
Depends on how much you prefer the experience of an iPhone versus an Android. There's a reason someone might choose an Audi versus a similarly equipped (engine wise) Volkwagen - it's a different experience, at a price, that some prefer.
Does IBM have a patent for the hardware version of it?
The reason I likened it to HTTP is because of the browser wars and how the big players can influence the spec. Now we're talking about money and the same possibility of big players emerging.

It sounds like what you're saying is "yes, big players will emerge but something will keep them in check." What is that thing?
What will your pilots do, just as a for instance, if ... say a lone Cessna asks tower for his ground speed ... and then a bit later a navy F-18 pilot also asks tower for his ground speed ?

What will they do in that situation ?
This pretty much always happens. See http://blogs-images.forbes.com/chuckjones/files/2014/09/Appl...

The only release that resulted in a substantial rise was the iPhone; the rest of them lead to nothing or a small fall. Totally standard.

Many selective companies have many phone screens and coding projects, plus hours of on site interviewing. Google's process notoriously takes months. Some companies interviews likely take 10+ hours all in all. That's more like 3rd date territory in terms of hours spent together, and plenty of time to evaluate a hire, not some one shot thing.
It's a bigger percentage than you think. Non-binary is a pretty inclusive designation, and effectively represents "not entirely male" and "not entirely female" and any and everything inbetween. Genderqueer is a similarly inclusive designation.

It's important because not representing it as a viable selection reinforces discrimination[0] against those who don't identify as one of the binary genders.

In any case, your reduction of things to 0.0000001% of the entire population is pretty heinously insensitive (then again, this is Hacker News, so cis-sexism and transphobia is generally expected). And pretty false. In a UK survey, 0.4% (or 1 in 250 people) identified as neither fully male nor fully female [1].

Edit: by adding more than the binary male/female, especially with a salary thing like this, you can more easily expose discrimination in pay between not only those who identify as male or identify as female but also those who identify as trans/queer. And given that there is a lot of discrimination out there against us (it's not even illegal to discriminate against trans/genderqueer in many, many, many states), it's an important data point to collect.
