You're just pointing to the statistical bias in British media. There is a huge different between not being in FULL time employment and being unemployed.

Since we're pointing at random articles:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-musli...

"The recent national Labour Force survey showed the unemployment rate among Muslim women was 18 per cent, compared with 9 per cent for Hindu women and 4 per cent for white Christian women."

No doubt unemployment rate is higher for Muslim women, and it is a problem. But citing figures that out of your pocket isn't gonna help.
CO-FOUNDER for Learnetto (https://learnetto.com) | London, UK | ONSITE

I'm looking for a co-founder for my education startup Learnetto.

Learnetto is a marketplace where anyone can teach and sell a course on useful tech skills including programming, design, product management and marketing.

Business model: We take a small cut (25%) of the sales.

I've built most of the product myself with some help from freelancers.

We have a bunch of teachers and students already.

The market seems crowded but I think there's room for a better marketplace, where the terms for teachers are fair and reasonable (https://learnetto.com/teachers) and students get an awesome place to learn. So I'm building it.

WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU

Equity.

A chance to build an exciting and fun business in an exploding market with a technical cofounder who can sell (that's me!).

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

I'm looking for someone who can build product and also understands and cares about the business. Someone who has worked on their own projects, startup or business.

TECH STACK

Rails 4 app on Heroku, videos hosted on Wistia, Stripe for payments.

After some polishing and testing on large projects, it will probably will be submitted.
And pretty much the same for secondary.

560 min or 650 min periods, 45 min lunch, 15 min morning break. 6 hour minimum day. Any extra time is padding for registration or longer breaks.
If I understood the article, Habitat for Humanity contacted some building owners and developers about acquiring several charming but rundown brownstones in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood, with the goal of renovating them and selling them to low income deserving families. The buildings were supposed to be unoccupied, but in fact seven families were evicted or paid to leave, and they ended up homeless or living in shelters. A developer was able to flip at least one building to HFH for 100% profit.

While it does sound as if a few tenants were taken advantage of, and the charity probably over paid for the properties, the whole situation doesn't seem that out of line with what has been happening for 100 years in congested New York neighborhoods. In this case, it was a "charity", but in many other cases it was for-profit ventures attempting to capitalize on the very high demand for housing.

At least the brownstones are earmarked for lower income owners who will stabilize the neighborhood and presumably not push up housing costs. That's probably a good outcome, if that's what comes to pass. Maybe HFH can help out those families somehow, perhaps offer them low cost rentals in one of the renovated properties.

Unfortunately, this rosy outcome is not necessarily what will happen. The minute a neighborhood is perceived by developers and intrepid urban warriors as the next up and coming place that's affordable, edgy, and trendy, these powerful players will descend on the place like locusts. Current owners will receive high offers to sell out, and gentrification will set in.

In my opinion, the only real solution to this kind of churning of property and displacement of low income families is to build more housing. New York can't really expand outward, but it can expand upward, and so they need to build some high rise apartments and condominiums. I'm not really sure why they're not meeting demand; perhaps New Yorkers just don't want any more congestion, and regulatory and tax structures make it prohibitive for all but the richest developers, who then are incentivized to sell or rent to the richest families, cutting the poor and moderate families out of the equation.
What happened between Go 1.4.3 and 1.5 which introduced such a slow down in compile times?
I'ts funny with WebRTC, because I rememeber when the same could be accomplish with Java applets (Java ignored any proxy settings, which allowed to deanonynimize people on the internet, e.g. it no longer mattered if you were behind TOR if you had Java enabled). I think it was considered security bug and was patched later. Seems that WebRTC people are not so security-wise I suppose...
The unoccupied mind is the workshop of the devil -Brazilian proverb
> "my" is private, and local, "our" is shared, and not local.

Which begs my question: If you already have more exact words (”private“, ”shared“) for these concept, why not use them? Yes, ”my“ and “our” have these connotation too, but it works only for humans and their relations.

I guess that's my disquiet with some of these names: Perl mixes the realms of machines and humans. See also `bless` and `say`. And the anthropomorphization of abstract concepts only creates a slightly uncanny valley in my mind.

Maybe because english isn't my mother tongue. Perhaps native speaker is more ok with this mixture of concepts?

It's not specifically what you asked for, but as I've been learning about mobility work, I've found that the illustrations they use in their free book are especially helpful for learning to identify specific muscles and can help you narrow in on your problem areas in conjunction with other programs.

I think you have a bias of looking at students from select top schools. A PhD student in almost any branch is going to have a really hard time getting a tenure track position unless they have an awesome research record (publications in top tier conferences/journals).
So fundamentally VR has more potential than AR

I couldn't agree more completely. I live in a physical world, and my god I wish I could connect it better to the information world.

I don't care at all about VR. I'll try it because it's new, but I have close to zero interest in gaming and beyond that there a very few use cases where it is interesting. Design maybe, but a lot of these uses cases actually work better as AR anyway.

You argue that we can bypass the orientation senses by injecting signal into nerves, but that the tactile challenge in VR is impossible?

Yes, you have to wear it. But glasses aren't a big deal - and will keep getting better - and AFAIK you have to wear VR gear too.

An introduction to Tmux
Wow! I remember reading 3D0G in one of the many apple manuals that came with my Apple ][+ I filed it away in my memory and used it every time I accidentally ended up with a * prompt. It feels good to know others have fond memories of those days too.
That is the fundamental problem with Brooklyn, though. The vast majority of housing is hugely inefficient. Ugly little two-story apartment buildings where you could have a really nice 5-6 story building instead.

yes, on fast computer with small sass... as the size and number of watched files increases so does the reload time, and while it's still not some huge delay on its own, it does add up when you repeat it hundreds of times a day, and can be a real pain in the ass... to the point that I usually test all my changes live in css first, and then implement the final version in sass later, for easier management.
What is it with parents driving their kids to school these days? Or is it a US thing? Back when I was in school, every single kid would ride the school bus. Well, except those close enough to walk/cycle, or those old enough to own and drive a car or scooter.
Well, at least I bet the compiler compiles itself faster now :-)

The College of Chinese Wisdom
I don't think the Golang people are parading it as a "systems language". Part of the goal was to make something fast that's both safer and easier than C. I think they succeeded with that. But I don't think anyone expects a language with enforced safety and built-in garbage collection to be faster than C. That just isn't going to be possible.
This is something that they must be working on, as they are leaving a lot of money on the table from big companies.

Presumably this was part of the pitch (build on-premise version, hire the good salespeople from MS and Oracle, profit).
To be specific I think they used a transpiler, probably Russ Cox's c2go (https://github.com/rsc/c2go).
watty: I am the author of the repo, and I hear your concerns. After finishing teaching with General Assembly, I launched my own online course [1] because I wanted to provide a classroom-like experience to online students, and very few companies seemed to be doing that. By "classroom-like", I mean that I teach classes live (via webinar), hold live office hours (via Slack), assign pre-class readings, and assign homeworks (and provide feedback to students).

It will be interesting to see whether other players in the online education space start to provide similar offerings. The most similar structure I have found is companies [2][3] providing a set curriculum (via videos and written materials) along with a mentor you work with one-on-one.

Ok, I should have made that clearer. What I meant was that at least one post on a minor release of Unreal gets to the front page (at least when I'm browsing HN, maybe later or earlier in the day the postings are not on the front page). Out of curiosity I checked my above claim and it was wrong (hehe), but many releases hit the front page:

4.11 - now

4.10 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10548139 [75 comments]

4.9 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10147368 [50 comments]

4.8 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9694885 [98 comments]

4.7 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9103050 [88 comments]

??? (when they released UE4 for free) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9132815 [240 comments]

4.0 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7429774 [163 comments]

But it's probably as you say. Not every interesting post (which also depends on the readers interests, of course) get's to the front page. Coupled with the bigger mindshare of Unreal, and the not so interesting Cryengine releases in the past (especially compared to Unreal) we get more Unreal postings on HN.
While I wouldn't say I learned all of this, we did cover quite a similar set of topics during my schooling. It's not everywhere that schooling is bad in the US. Not every school just lumps all of the kids no matter their aptitude into the same classes. A lot of schools have many levels of placement that are to help understand the baselines a student can be held to. For most math and science classes I took the top classes and felt it was a great pace (most of the time) and learned quite a bit. For history and English/grammar classes where I'm not as strong, I took a middle level class and still learned much of the same material but at a slower pace.

For cases like your sister, there was options for classes to be taken. She can take many different art classes over the course of a couple years to help build a portfolio for submitting to colleges. I on the other hand had 2 maths, 2 sciences, and an English class my final semester. It was great since it so closely aligned with my college studies and helped me get ahead (AP). I never felt difficulty in college having taken these APs either.

Just setting the record straight, it's not the complete Wild West over here. Just some schools are stronger than others. My school is pretty standard as far as schools in south east Massachusetts go.
I wonder why they did not add `--ff-only` as an option, like GitLab has.
Your article is showing a different type of measure, but it's showing the same glaring problem - Muslim women are not working in this country - not nearly as many of them as other demographics. I don't care whether a Muslim commentator thinks the cause for this is anti-Muslim "bias." There isn't an institutionalised anti-Muslim bias in our workplaces, and if there was you'd have to ask "why?" - is it the five-times-a-day prayer breaks? The 30 days of fasting leaving workers unable to properly function? The subjugation of women in Muslim society? All of these factors could explain the figures we see, and they're all the fault of Islam. Not of Western employers.
It’s even worse in high school and middle school, because students creativity, interest, and ability to understand are severely hurt from just sitting back 7 hours a day and memorizing everything they hear.

In university, we always have for each course each a lecture (which is pure "listen and learn") and a lab (where we have to do things ourselves in groups, show the others our results, solve things together, etc.).

A lab and lecture for each course, 4 courses per semester. And it’s a pretty good combination, we get experience with practical stuff, and can learn better, but we also get to hear specific details in the lecture we might have missed if we had only done the lab stuff.

As far as I know, this education is standard here in northern Europe, and has been for as far as I can remember – but then again, I’m only 19 :D
Most of your comment is in defense of HFH but it doesn't address anything about what was actually happening in NYC.

Many of those who bought Habitat’s renovated homes earned around $50,000 a year

The idea was to have Katz do the renovation work on Madison Street, instead of the charity doing it itself.
The New JDI Language (April's Fool)
Since this really comes down to a question of "who are we appealing to?", I'll throw my two cents in.

I like that picture. I'm glad for once, that someone in the tech sector is wearing a suit. I don't view suits as a reflection of personal quality, but I do like them as a fashion statement.

To be honest, I've never really understood the US motif where wearing a tie and/or suit is equivalent to being dressed up or out of touch with the common man.

School children here (and also in the UK), wear ties and blazers so wearing a tie doesn't feel 'corporate' or stuffy at all to me.
I think some resentful high school students that had a hard time often reflect American schooling poorly. I didn't have a supremely negative time (with the teaching at least) and I went to a standard 8:00-2:30 school in Massachusetts that had hour long blocks. I think we need to start taking more negative responses on the Internet as the extreme and not necessarily the norm.
We have a build that compiles 30 sites of common css into site specific themes. This build runs inside a lesscss plugin for maven that takes 2:24 to build everything. It does them one at a time and seems to throw away commonly compiled bits regularly.

When we dont need new css, we pass a profile disable that wraps the css compile.

This may be an extreme case, but most of it seems avoidable with normal cascades. My front end people want the "convenience" of less, but they dont consider the cost until it hurts their build times.
I think you will find the studies relate to placing different factors of a persons circadian rhythms in contention with each other.

Such studies show that the natural balance of the sleep portion of the wake/sleep cycle shifts towards 1-10 am for young men and becomes more resilient.

The "day/night" cycle is the external cycle that interacts only to tune the sleep/wake cycle. Suggesting that the sleep/wake cycle and the day/night cycle should be aligned, and that such is natural, is incorrect.

I'll link you some papers when I get home. However, in the mean time, I suggest you re-read some of those studies you are claiming to habe read.
By now a lot of high profile games get made with Unity, so i don't think it's really a downside that Unity Technologies don't build their own games. Unity is far less resource heavy and still the king for 2D or mobile games and the latest 3D rendering capabilities are getting close to Unreal as well (see Adam tech demo). I enjoy working with C# and have been using Unity since 2009 in one form or another. I'd like to try Unreal but it feels like it only makes sense for big projects and does not even run remotely well on my macbook.
That sounds very helpful and frightening at the same time.

In the future where everything is recorded the records should be sealed unless a warrant for those recordings is presented. The warrants should be made public.

Recording everything is alredy happening in some cities, like London, but the control is on the side of law enforcement.
>> is this comparable with Zepto?

Jquery functions Zepto has that Cash does not: ajax, contents, hide/show, map, offset, offsetParent, replaceWith, scrollLeft, scrollTop, size, slice, submit, toggle, unwrap, wrap, wrapAll, wrapInner

Zepto also has some optional plugins that aren't in the default build.
ybrah: Great! I tried to write the IPython notebooks so that they could be understood without too much further explanation. As well, all of the exercises and homeworks have provided solutions. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Mmmh... you say you agree with the previous poster but your message seems to disagree completely.
Interesting work but can it compete with jupiter notebooks?

A very good talk! Enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks for sharing.
For non-rival goods (which are increasingly common, since copying bits is cheap), Brave seems like the right kind of model -- users pay an overall tax, and it gets parceled out to creators proportionally [1] to usage.

[1] or some other function-- e.g. proportionally to sqrt(usage), in order to flatten out power-law returns, and reward creators who make it but aren't in the top 10.
Not exactly. I've followed a car in front in fog where I couldn't really see where I was going and I figured if there was a wall or cliff or something I'd see the car in front deal do odd stuff and hit my brakes.

Application Configuration Management. What's Your Approach?
Cool thanks! Just to clear it up, I didn't think it was a complete wild west out there. Clearly the U.S. has many of the best universities in the world, and similarly many of the best arts academies so somehow it's able to produce well prepared students. I was just a bit confused on how exactly.
Well, why not? If taking ads out is legal, then why not putting ads in?

This is completely unnecessary. Everything git does, git can undo as long as your working tree is clean when you start the rebase. git reflog and git reset are your friends, if you want to "get back to where I was before I started this awful merge".

They mentioned that in some of their twitch streams relatively short after Unreal 4s initial release. I don't remember the number, but it was smaller than what I thought it would be. Plus of course the people not working for epic who contribute to the source code on github.
I have a pair of friends who met working third shift at a hospital. They got married and had 2 kids, who are 5 and 7 respectively now. It's still hard for them, one has moved to days out of necessity, but they both still function best as night people.

Kids seem to be normal enough and adapting. If anything, they're a little more independent than most kids that age I've met in the city.
I'm totally into this style. As a non-linear thinker, I value history a lot. The other style is too much into-the-box thinking.
I can't provide you a full solution, but here are the hints:

- Old cc wrapper with a custom libc option https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/...

- libc in the GCC package itself: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/developmen...
