Some of the apps I work on can only build on ARM, so the emulators were completely useless. Maybe it'll be better now!
For those who would prefer a graphical interface for their multithreaded downloading, I highly recommend webui-aria2, which (of course) uses aria2c in it's backend: https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2

It's super easy to install locally since it's basically a JS app in a couple of HTML files. For ease of use, I have a shortcut to the index.html in my browser and launch aria2 on startup from my .zshrc.

(I'm the author).

You make excellent points, and I don't mean to minimize the regional issues.

Sure, if I had a magic wand then I'd increase housing being built across the Bay Area. In fact, I'd like consolidate the jurisdictions in the Bay Area, but that's a whole other argument.

I don't quite know how to play out the claim that demand is infinite. One, I don't believe that. And, two, it seems like an argument that has us throw up our hands and do nothing. It's large problem that needs a large solution -- I've heard estimates in the 100-200 thousand unit range -- but I'd rather shoot for that goal than do nothing at all.
This is an experiment in React Native to see how far its performance could be stretched versus pure native code. Don't expect super fine grained motion control. It just hooks the accelerometer and gyroscope into an 8 octave sax pad. There are 4 different types of sax. Feedback is welcome.

I dunno, I sure as hell never asked for Unix. That was a decision made for me by AT&T and it's monopoly a decade before I was born.

As for why "the real, usable stuff" gets written in C? Because C is the only first class programming language in the operating system.

And of course 20 years ago "the real, usable stuff" was actually written in assembly because C was slow and inefficient. Or Fortran if you needed to do any math more complicated than middle school algebra.
True, though I'd like to understand it on deeper level. For example, how much of a house or condo price due to the land and how much of it construction, maintenance, taxes?

In any case, at least for building straight up, there is scope for improvement even with the land remaining a bottleneck.
I agree with a lot of your points, especially comment flair and swiping gestures (I used the quick swipe left to collapse comment threads 100s of times a day). I'm not a mod so I never used those features of Alien Blue.

However, I like the organization of the app more. Pictures are automatically displayed in the feed and require no clicks (gif/gyf support is badly needed, though), it has infinite scrolling, and there are essentially two browse sections: one for the front page and the other for browsing individual subreddits. It's nice to be able to switch to a specific subreddit and then go back to the front page exactly where you were.

It also seems faster than Alien Blue. With AB I would encounter "dead" links that wouldn't load many times a day, and I haven't seen one with the new app. Pages and images load much quicker than AB.

I'm switching to the new app and hope they add new features soon.
The problem isn't that there aren't enough homes, or that we don't know how to build cheap homes.

It's simply that desirable land is so incredibly expensive.

Unless these homes can be stacked to the sky in an affordable way, I have my doubts that this will change anything.
Assyrian kings had a lot to say. You could expect to hear about their illustrious ancestors going several generations back, and their many military and domestic accomplishments (like irrigation projects).

Not so much about what they wanted to do in the future. They didn't stand for elections.
This can also be a good rule of thumb for entrepreneurs investing in ideas or potential new features, or even for ordinary employees managing their careers.

You can get surprisingly far in life simply by cutting your losses early. If you majored in art history, got to junior year, and then suddenly realized there are no jobs available - switch your major! Or transfer, if you have to. If you hate your job, find another one! If your skillset is out of date, learn whatever the new hotness is. If you picked a dead-end field that's being disrupted by a new industry, switch to the new industry.

Many people don't do this, because of a couple of cognitive biases: sunk cost fallacy and fear of the unknown. But they ignore that they've learned new information in whatever their old role was, and that the future is usually much longer than the past.
Just educated myself on the Moldbug fellow and The Cathedral and Dark Enlightenment. Liberal progressivism, such ideas as civil rights for women, civil rights and tolerance for gay people and people of color, health care for poor kids are seen as terrible?

I wonder how the ads will look like after users 3 months of reddit gold expires. I also wonder if the 3rd party reddit clients will also see ads, or we'll see a drastic API change to bring everyone to the official client and gold subscription instead. Hope this won't turn into Twitter API woes.
I'm from Romania and i run a product business in the western part of the country (Oradea). The article is a pr piece, but one that the .ro tech industry deserves. There's definitely good momentum and we need to use it. The biggest long term risk imho is the outsourcing industry and it's effects.

We started out in outsourcing too but shifted to product in 2008 and managed to build a profitable business selling globally. I'm seeing more and more people interested in making the shift or jumping right into product, however we lack good product managers, marketing and funding. Overall i'm optimistic and i think we have lots to show if we focus our energies in the right direction.
I should clarify - the title had character limits, so when I wrote "apps" I meant "applications" - it doesn't necessarily exclude businesses that don't do "apps" per se - for example, Vertica and VoltDB would be innovative companies in databases, but their technology isn't an "app" in that sense.
I edited my comment to reflect your criticism, but I disagree with it. It's pretty clear the person I was replying to just didn't even read the original posting.

Ferries are even slower and less reliable in my experience.

Apply HN: An open, geographic alternative to Snapchat
Tang (www.get-tang.com) is a geographic-based, temporary social media network that allows users to see what others are up to around them.

When someone posts on Tang, they take pictures or 10-second videos and set captions with hashtags to those posts, and set a post lifespan to it between 2-minutes and 48-hours.

There are a number of ways to use Tang:
-You are out on a Saturday night, and you want to know what venue to go to (search #nightlife within 5km)
-You are traveling and you want to see what's going on in your immediate vicinity (click 'radius' and choose between 5 and 100km).
-You see something hilarious at a party, and you want to share it with the world, but you also don't want it to haunt you next Monday at work (insert picture of someone doing a keg-stand here).
-You have a business, and you want to drive traffic to your store or to a particular location (Budweiser buys a geofence during a large event, attendees within the geofence can post to a campaign page).

Tang is open, temporary social media, where Snapchat is closed, temporary social media. We have tested and validated that there is content that needs to remain temporary, but also deserves to be seen by an audience larger than just a closed network of friends, but can't justify being posted on permanent social media (like Instagram).

Right now we are 80% through initial dev. and our alpha is right around the corner.

Looking for your support, but more importantly, your feedback!

Cheers.
They are central disciplines of computer science, but they are not central in mind share; basically I'm seeing all of these articles on AI and ML (DeepMind, Comma.ai, tutorials on Deep Learning and Neural Networks), but not as much on things like networking, databases, and HCI. It would be nice to explore successful companies whose central focus is on one of those other disciplines.
Hey,

Right now we're working directly with the Costume Designers for these shows, so it is in a way "Artisanal Turk" except that the people who add content to our site actually worked on these shows. At the moment we're partnered with costume designers for The Mindy Projects, Madmen, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and many others.

The new emulator runs ~3x faster than Android’s previous emulator, and with ADB enhancements you can now push apps and data 10x faster to the emulator than to a physical device.

About time. I don't know of any other aspect of Android development that gets as much hate as emulator perf (and I include Eclipse loathing when I say that). Though I'll say on latest with a recent MBP and SSD, the stock emulator isn't nearly as bad as it once was.

I am disappointed with a continuing lack of a decent test tools story. Whether UI automation or unit tests, I continue to run into "you need foo to get this to work, but the app's dependency on bar means you'll never get the two live in harmony". Espresso continues to look promising, but ramp up is still steep.
Housing affordability is a nation-wide problem. Since the housing bust of 2007, little new housing stock has been added, save for oil & gas boomtowns of Texas and North Dakota.

We are all now competing for limited housing in most every major metropolitan area.

The solution is for every city to build more housing, not just SF. Unfortunately, new housing starts have only recovered to 1993 levels. http://www.macrotrends.net/1314/housing-starts-historical-ch...

Since my ad blockers are preventing this article from loading, I'm just going by the Title: bad move Mashable.

I suppose that millennials consume the most videos, but power users rely on text, especially for consumption and sharing.

Advertisers always poisoning things.
No I haven't, but I have money on companies.

Many things can happen (disease, conflict, competition,etc) and I surely won't make a founder feel terrible about himself because of that.

Instead, I pick someone with a different personality, industry and network that is able to balance my risk.
It would seem to do so. It might be possible, if the people didn't have to spend hours in line for basic necessities.
Everytime I tried to switch to Android Studio from Eclipse I switched back because of how incredibly slow AS's build time is. Eclipse builds and deploys my app in seconds, AS takes at least half a minute. I tried all the tricks I can find on SO, etc. without success.
You're right that the same arguments apply throughout the Bay Area. That fact that SF needs to build more and denser housing doesn't excuse Palo Alto, Mountain View, Berkeley, Oakland, etc. from doing the same.

But even the housing policy you describe, in which SF acts unilaterally, would still be a great good. Tens of thousands of people previously priced out of SF would now be able to live in the city. And those who still couldn't afford the city would find it much easier to live within a reasonable commute.
In some cases it's cheaper to live in another city and fly to/from SF every single day than to live in SF.
You're right articles are technically better in those ways, but the reality is that people are watching videos more and more. The content that people used to consume via an article is now being consumed via video, and it seems to be preferred.

Between that and the rise of ad blockers, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that sites are fleeing to video. I think it's actually in their best interest, lest they be left behind and replaced. I've been seeing this a LOT with gaming related content. YouTube channels are essentially replacing game sites.
I'd say no.
A mark could just be an offset inside the Text buffer instead of a direct pointer. Yes, dereferencing a mark would be slower, but do you really think that matters? I mean even if you did that 1M times/sec there wouldn't be a noticeable difference to the user.

On the other hand, look at array.c. Or buffer.c. Or map.c. Or all the manual linked list management stuff. Or all the other logic that would be so much simpler with a more functional language. I mean, sure - there's an unique feeling to being so close to the metal, and that's fine, but if you want to build something new reinventing the wheel for the millionth time is a waste of time.

edit: there are compiled higher-level languages too (i.e. Haskell). If you want minimal dependencies, it doesn't really matter how the binary got built.

The conception that salt is bad for us is, I think, ludicrous. Most of us are not eating even a smidgeon of the amount of salt that our ancestors would have eaten, when nearly all meats and fish not eaten immediately after slaughter were preserved literally caked in salt or brines.
> So - in practice - essentially, it's MS-supported (although hosted by Canonical) GNU on Windows.

I don't care how it's marketed.

Let me remind you that there have been numerous ports of GNU tools for the Windows operating system in the past. This does not allow you to run any more GNU tools on Windows than you previously had.

Therefore, essentially, this is not about "GNU on Windows". This is about running "Ubuntu Linux software on Windows" including, of course, and in addition to numerous other tools, the GNU tools.

Also, the original statement was: "That is just GNU running on the Windows kernel." This is obviously not just that.
Trained designers don't seem to understand this, because although they pay lip service to the idea of usability, they're mostly only interested in designs that include aesthetic signalling.

This is a very common human pattern: Confusing signalling+lip-service around a complicated and subtle issue with genuine understanding. I suspect it's a common pattern because it's a part of the learning process.
Saw the video. Its website -> sketch. Seeing the sketch -> website would be great.

Why aren't you guys charging for it right away? That's going to give a good indication whether designer/devs are willing to pay out of pocket.

i.e Give 10 free conversions to new signups so users get a feel whether it solves their problem. There after its $5 per conversion or whatever amount you feel is worth.

Ages ago I used to convert psds to html by hand. There was this Russian tool to convert psd to html for $3 per conversion. It was my best friend. It got me 50% there and then I had to do the rest by hand.

Have you looked into conversion by OCR techniques? i.e someone pastes a screenshot, you recognize the margins, paddings, text, colours, font and spit out html/css
Well, they can introduce a (further) carbon tax and the people who choose to heat the area around their house can pay more than the people who only heat inside their house.

They can ensure that every house sale includes the information on how well insulated a house is, and those who like to be cosy or save money or the planet can buy a different home.

No one's forcing you to do anything, they may however object to you forcing them to pay for your extravagances via market externalities.
I too have recently started a new job. I had a phone screen with the hiring manager, then met with him for a two-hour 1-on-1 interview. Some time later I was given the offer and accepted it.

I never met any of my future team members. I asked the hiring manager during the interview to introduce me to the team, but he said this wasn't going to be necessary.

Now, a few months into the job, I must say that I've never worked on any team composed of such antisocial people. Pretty much no one here communicates effectively. Cliques are demarcated along racial lines; there Chinese and Indian groups don't really talk to each other, and don't "accept new members" that don't speak their language.

This is the loneliest place I'd ever worked. What's surprising is that I never thought I could be so lonely at work of all places.

So, lesson learned: if you aren't allowed to do a meet-and-greet with the team before accepting an offer, don't even think about taking it!
The only way to fix the housing market in San Francisco without destroying what people love about living there is to reduce the number of people living in San Francisco. And the most direct and effective way of doing that is to destroy the ridiculous bias against remote working. For all the innovative, intelligent, talented people in the Valley that we haven't yet figured out how to work together to build software without physically being in the same room is pathetic. We'll look back on this in the same way we look back on child labor and seven day work weeks.
That's what I envision, but I like to be optimistic that it wouldn't be that bad.
> I wish we could have some more science done on this stuff (specifically relating to tech). I have a huge amount of experience-based evidence pointing toward the factuality of this article, but anecdotes and personal experience are not how you sway decision makers.

During my neurosurgery postdoc (I'm a BME with a focus in neuroscience), I helped develop a portable EEG system, with part of the focus on identifying EEG biomarkers of sleep deprivation and its effects on attention, response time, etc (i.e. changes in brain patterns related to sleep, or lack thereof). One of our first targeted populations were doctors and residents at the hospital I worked at. The administration and department chairs absolutely BALKED at the idea. If we were going to show what working 36 hour shifts did to a resident's brain by the end of the shift, and the very detrimental effect on decision making, etc., they wanted no part of it, and the project kind of fell apart.

> I expect what would really happen if SF just went all in building new housing, is that prices would drop in the city slightly, allowing people to move back into the city, thus increasing demand and increasing prices back to where they were.

That seems unlikely to me, based on intuition and my admittedly elementary understanding of economics. It seems very unlikely that a significant increase in the quantity of housing units would cause no change in the price of housing units.
