Webpack is such a useful tool. These boilerplates are a nice way to get started.

P.S. I found a little typo in the config code and sent you a pull request with the fix.
I think HackerNews itselve should mostly fund startups like Sendy. Eg. Have a Reseller-option ( or brands option) so you can manage stuff for clients, others and you can self host it. This adds a huge market of technical people that can create wealth for their own

That is a totally different approach then the "cloud apps" that get funded through YC or other investors, yet it supports the same "sort/type of apps".

It should require some technical experience ( i believe HN in it's core is still for technical people)

It would be interesting to see what reselling does for bootstrapping a startup ( faster sales because more brands/people can resell it ?)

Benefits, we can hack our way through the code :)
In this thread - a lot of people who don't have a Netflix DVD plan saying that it's hard to use their DVD plan.
what would also be nice is being able to drag and drop windows on virtual desktops in the WinKey-TAB screen.

MathJax is slow and doesn't work in RSS.

I'd love to let people read my blog entirely in their RSS reader. But unfortunately most of my posts won't render there.

It's not a surprise that people become fat in an environment where food is cheap, delicious, and abundant.

But we do know how to stop it. You just have to eat a little less. A modest, sustainable change in your diet is all that is needed to make dramatic changes over a 6-12 month timescale.

Record what you eat to establish an honest food baseline, and reduce from there. Stop eating all food you don't enjoy, and stop eating when you aren't hungry.

I put off losing weight for the last decade because of the constant drumbeat of news, blogs, and anecdotal moaning I heard from everyone about how impossible it is to lose weight. But after monitoring my food as described above for 6 months, I am down 20% from my starting weight. Success feels inevitable now, because the changes I have made are small and sustainable for me; for example, I still eat candy, but fun size instead of king size. My main regret is not starting sooner. I lost my 20s to obesity because crash diets failed me and I listened when people said it wasn't possible.

reddit.com/r/loseit has been an amazing support community for me throughout this process. I'd encourage y'all to check it out if you want to make a change.
One useful outcome is to vastly boost your chances of finding similar/identical startup/product/company/service/OS project already in existence.

The author knows this problems... he is dealing with that for years because he is one of the MathJax programmer or even inventor?! The question is if you want to maintain a huge standard in the browser (which is not the case for many browsers today) only for copy&pasting (maybe this can also be solved in another way with JS clipboard magic).
That's amazing. If anyone had predicted that a year or two ago, people would have called him a paranoid conspiracy theorist. But leave it to marketeers to push the envelope--as surreptitiously as possible of course.

Reason #47 to use ad-blocking tools on everything. If anything kills advertiser-supported content on the Internet, it will be the advertisers themselves.
There is no "math subset" of TeX. You would have to define it. Or include a full TeX engine including macro capabilities into web browsers.

The article is pretty good, but neglects to mention that there are more types of fatty acids than the saturated kind. Unsaturated fatty acids become more unstable as the level of unsaturation increases. The so-called "essential" fatty acids, the polyunsaturated oils, are the most unstable of all.

Soybean oil is useful as biodiesel, and not much else.
You can also do this on Chrome and Safari. It's a "share" option for Safari, bizarrely.

Makes sense. This explanation was much better than what was on your website. Maybe you should describe yourself as the "ORM for APIs". A bit geeky maybe but would make developers get it.
What exactly what their previous goal? I thought they've always been for real-time search, at least that was the moniker when I looked at it 1 year previous.
If you're throwing Reagan in as a bad president, you should throw JFK in too, since regarding policy/politically they were very close to each other.
I tend to agree but this is really a separate conversation. These days, the struggling musician will give away music for extra exposure in the hopes of becoming famous so they can make money touring. That's the best they can do because nobody sells 50 million vinyl records anymore, although that's probably more likely than selling 50 million CDs (note I didn't say albums).

Still, regardless of where these dollars flow, to creators or the "industry," it's fewer dollars.
Being a big company doesn't mean you can do all things for all people.

No, but that doesn't change the fact it can be really annoying for users. Annoying enough for them to write a blog post in some cases.
Building GUIs in Python 3.5
Yeah, that is the problem with niche CPU arches; if mass quantities aren't available to buy (either lone chips or in consumer products), people aren't going to use it much. Not everyone can afford to have their own fab :)

Many companies have dumb policies. They are the ones that need to change.
So in a bar he gets a Movie recomendation, send a SMS to his home server which dumps the stream, rips and burns it to a plastic disk, ready when he gets home.

If he can't code hire a dev, $200 should suffice.

I found the problem in the past was licensing 'issues' prevented whole swathes of old movies ever being shown in the UK - this is pretty efficiently fixed now.

Solving the legal issues is a separate problem that was trivially solved for previous disruptive innovations.

Compulsory blanket licenses, existing media taxes, distribution agencies - just like when radio & libraries were innovations would allow outdated laws to catch up with technological reality. Maximalist copyright is an anti-capitalist protection racket devised by ancient distribution monopolies.
The phenomenon of people quickly returning to their "normal weight" is explained perfectly by the Harris-Benedict equation. You can literally translate Harris-Benedict (i.e. calories in/calories out) into a differential equation, solve it, and get these results. Other immediate results include rapid weight loss at the start of a diet but very slow weight loss at the end.

Many of the "complicated" phenomena are simply people not doing the math and not understanding what the simple model actually predicts.
I find his response to Linus condescending. He calls Linus a genius yet he speaks to him like an idiot. Perhaps that was the intended effect, but I wouldn't call his "praising while bashing" approach being reasonable.
You should. It's a simple picture that compares road throughput of mass transit vs automobiles.

I don't care if the self-driving car revolution will take two decades - if we abandon mass transit, we will either have to greatly reduce our trips, or demolish half the city to build more roads.
There shouldn't be a 'we' stopping it, at least not in a free society. As it is, every individual does know how to stop it, should it be a problem. This isn't to belittle the difficulty experienced by most of us in putting that knowledge into action by selecting and restricting what one consumes.

The UK Government's sugar tax disproportionately hits the poor and only applies to some sugary foods. Indeed,sugar consumption per capita has been falling. Which food will be taxed next? Ultimately it's up to individuals to solve their own problems. If people elect to spend what money they have on healthy foods, suppliers will meet the challenge because that's their business.

[ Correction: all foods are healthy though not if you eat inappropriate amounts of them. ]
I think for an at-home setup, we should be able to come up with something much simpler and better-suited to the task than LDAP. I'm happy to add new and well-designed login systems to the free version. The main tricky requirement is that we want identities to be global -- that is, other people's Sandstorm servers should be able to authenticate you to the same global ID that your own server does. This is important so that it's possible to transfer grains between servers without all the user IDs changing (which probably makes the grain useless, if it stores user IDs at all). (Actually, LDAP doesn't even satisfy this requirement! But we figure corp users aren't as eager to participate in a federated network of personal servers.)

One thing we want to add, for example, is public-key login, where your identity is your public key fingerprint. You login in by proving access to the private key. Though, this is something I'd only recommend for hardcore crypto nerds, since bad key management would be catastrophic. We should look into other options, too.
you cannot compute TeX... there are two versions of MathML: presentation MathML (which is like TeX) which shows only the look. And there is content MathML which describes semantic. So you are comparing only one side of the medal with TeX ;) See here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML#Content_MathML

But I agree TeX is easier to write and read if you only care about the look and feel.

When I was a little kid in the fourth grade, I remember doing a book report about nuclear power, and how fusion research meant that we'd be done with fossil fuels forever any decade now.

Still waiting for any serious attempt to get off fossil fuels. Oh well, there goes the planet.
You most probably have decent chance with just being "AirBnB of tour guides" where Tour Guides are hosts and travelers visiting the town are guests. Like AirBnB, host guide showcases his preferred tourist spots in listing and traveler decide whether to book them. The quality is maintained through mutual reviews. You take a cut from traveler's payment and transfer rest to guide. The travelers pays in advance to you, a comfort to guide about no-shows and need to overbook.

Keep it a simple straightforward, easy to understand system. A decent extension to AirBnB lodging business and most probably your exit strategy.
I read up on the court case, and the ruling was that you couldn’t require people to have (in this case) a high school diploma without it having a defensible relevancy to performing the job.

I assume most RSS readers don't support CSS (and webfonts) fully? If they did you could use KaTeX's server-rendering feature to embed the actual HTML, but otherwise images are probably your best bet.

Seattle has 3.5 million people now. A good rail system will be serving the city in MANY generations to come. And yes future cost of money but it also seems these projects become ever more expensive too if delayed.

Anecdotally, I've traveled a reasonable amount. Any city I've been to with a world calls metro system (6 I've seen) are all hugely appreciated by the local and tourists alike. I've never head someone say "that underground was a waste of money". In cities without metros I've heard a bunch of complaints about the lack of the ability to move around quickly/easily.
It's not even a question of "wrong"--it's a question of whether it's worth my time. If past performance is an indicator, the answer is, "probably not worth my time."

Google Notebook did this--better--years ago. Hierarchical notebooks, tags, web clipper extensions and bookmarklets, sharing, blah blah blah.

Google killed it. Dumped all the data into monolithic Docs documents. If I wanted to use giant Word docs, I would have.

Now, this. Why? What about Keep? Save != Keep?

Google used to call everything "beta." It's too bad they stopped doing that. Now they should call everything "alpha." It would be more honest.

And that brings us back to the question of "wrong." Is it wrong to throw up a free, open service and invite people to rely on it, then yank the rug out from under them? "But it's not making them any money." But they're making billions upon billions of dollars. "But someone has to maintain it." But they have thousands of engineers.

Anyway, you can decide the ethics however you want. The bottom line is, it would be foolish to spend any time on any new Google service. I've already spent too much writing about it here.
The Netflix ambition of a smorgasbord streaming product has slammed straight into the reality of the murky world of internationally licensed content.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"

The public has seen the future with Spotify, and wonder why video can't be the same. But there are a lot of people with influential positions in the industry whose livelihood depend on this red tape. Byzantine licensing laws fund entire departments of faceless middlemen, greedy regional affiliates and dark armies of lawyers.

Music wasn't particularly different, it's just that we are further along in the capitulating-industry-dinosaur story there.
I can only imagine that limiting loans and aid to the pursuit of an accredited degree makes the difference between financing a lifestyle and financing something that is guaranteed worthwhile (if we believe accreditation).
> Should Google only work on things that it could guarantee to run for at least a few years no matter how it is performing?

Of course not, but it's gradually becoming self-fulfilling.

Early adopters in the 'tech community' are becoming wary of investing time in new Google experiments, which in turn affects promotion of the service to the mainstream community.

What might help is if they moved this sort of product back into the domain of Google Labs and gave it a minimum lifetime indication. I think people would be happier to give things a try if they knew it was experimental and might only last for 12 months.
And just to add - there are a lot of areas where renewables are already way cheaper or conventional generation just is not appropriate- like solar for replacing diesel generators, offshore wind near large coastal cities(try building a large nuclear plant near NY), there are also a lot of remote places where grid is expensive to maintain etc, etc

Also PV is the simplest, least maintenance power generation source if you need <few KW.
It's exactly main reason: Blizzard have right to control the history and evolution of the WoW universe. Players can still play on old locations even on official servers, but things like game balance, economics - it's all was made by Blizzard and they have right to change it, for good or bad.
The general rule of thumb that seems to keep you under the radar is to limit your upload rate. Most clients have an easy option to do this - although apparently this is non-trivial in this client[1]?

What doesn't make sense? The Transition looks fairly OK, though it probably only suits flying to places that are small and don't have rental cars.

Flying car now is a better idea, if they're automated. More complicated flight systems are no problem for software. And safety will be far better than humans. Though if we get fully automated roads/cars, the speed improvement might not be so big. (Automated roads might be able to go at what, 200Kph? More on highways?)

I'll have to check out KaTeX's server rendering. Might be exactly what I'm looking for.
There are already enough agents out there trying to dumb us down. And I don't want to be one of them, so thanks, but no thanks.
It seems likely to me that they executed this maneuver for similar reasons to the kik/azer fiasco that happened on NPM; if they didn't sue, they would lose their trademarks.

I think a better response would've been to purchase Nostalrius (the organization), and offer it as a value-add for their players. But it seems clear Blizzard is extracting whatever value it can from WoW before it dies, rather than truly serving their customers.
Here's a crazy theory of mine - just planting some seeds.

Industrial scale farming is creating "institutionalized" plants - we call them "fields", but they could be looked at as industrial plant camps, were plants don't have to do any effort to grow - there are no pests, there is no competition from other plants, there's plenty of food (fertilizer) and water, etc. We take care of everything for them so the plants grow up big and "lazy".

Similar thing is happening to farmed animals, who are fed these "lazy" plants and kept in similar "food camps" in conditions which prevent physical movement, competition or effort.

Plants or animals, goal is to obtain highest weight in shortest amount of time in order to increase profits.

I remember the taste of the vegetables from my grandmother's garden. Rich, full and powerful. Plants were strong, showed signs of fighting for survival - having scars and being bitten by insects, etc.

My grandmother took care of those plants personally. She talked to them, she touched them, she collected pests manually.
Similar thing with the animals that she had on her farm.

Of course there was no obesity in my grandmother's village.

I think there is a connection between "lazy" plants and low energy that it generates in their consumers - be it humans or animals. This "laziness" and the instruction to grow to large sizes may be transmitted from species to species by mechanisms which might not be known yet.
worth mentioning that Apiaxle is not an "active" project on GH.
To save app developers manually trawling dozens of gems and duplicating work, we need to have somewhere that people can publicly disclose gems they've found to be compromised.
alternatively: the whole US can now post and find local classified ads at 10% of the previous cost! That's huge!
I'll be interested in hearing from anyone who uses this and finds it offers them more than they are currently getting from cygwin or VMware+Linux VM. I realize it's a very different beast from cygwin - an entire User Mode Linux environment, as opposed to being able to download windows versions of the Linux Environment, but, on a day to day basis, It will be interesting to see what people do differently, and why they would use WSL as opposed to just running a Linux VM on their workstation if cygwin isn't sufficient.

I can confirm that you can run (at least some) GUI apps if you start an X server on Windows (like Xming, etc.), and export DISPLAY.
Haha, I can see it now. "Do you miss some of Google's sunsetted services? Now you can relive them with Google Google. Google Google allows you to use previously offered Google services, just like they used to be!" (Fast-forward 18 months.) "All good things... Google is sunsetting Google Google, effective 3 months from today. All your data will be available in our new service, Google Google Google. Thanks for using Google Google!"
What a time to be alive! I'm holding out on upgrading to Win10 until I buy a new PC since my 7 -> 10 upgrade ties to hardware, but I hope to have that done by the end of next month. I can't wait to try this out.

edit: Specifically, I want to understand to what extent - if any - will it allow some of the horror problems you have working with certain Python libraries (compiling Numpy on Windows is like pulling teeth) to be a thing of the past. I'd be more than happy to work in WinBash for Python if it means having the easy Linux install processes available for some of the more scientific packages.
I think it was specifically announced as Windows 10 only.

Well you forgot the region code problem the DVD had. At least in the beginning it was really hard to get around this. It's definitely easier if you were in region 1 and only wanted to watch content for this. But in the beginning it was pretty hard to get around that if you were living somewhere else.

I've bought a region 1 DVD (beeing in a region 2 land) and had to reflash my DVD drive to play this DVD. And don't get me started on store bought DVDs which were in English and German, but if you wanted to watch the English version you had to watch it with subtitles.

I personally have AD set up for my entire family since it comes with goodness like Group Policies and allows me a certain degree of control and uniformity even hundreds of miles away. It'd be great to be able to use the same logins for Sandstorm. Just my anecdote, fwiw.
My potential use case: run the IDE on the host (Windows UI is fast, font rendering is great), but use git, etc. from the Linux command line (to get file permissions, etc. right).
I think the main reason for the popularity of object-oriented languages is that the design corresponds more closely to the physical world, which makes it easier to reason about the architecture of the software.
Can anyone say anything about the stability of build #14316?
