Nice story! With the large volume of Hungarians moving to London, was there not a way you could use your data to help them find a place to live? Having a web scraper that finds appropriate listings before you could physically comb through the websites sounds like it would gain some traction.
And the interesting thing about Ebola is that while it's not very contagious it is extremely infectious. Which means that you need contact with just a few virus particles to be infected.
Secure Development Anti-Pattern: Failure to separate resource from user
On the Mac, Merlin Project [1] and OmniPlan [2] might be worth a look. They've both been around a long time and seems to be the MS Project equivalent for Mac. Not having a PC version is a pain though.

On the web, Harvest Forecast [3] looked tempting, but I haven't dived into using it. I love Harvest for my solo time accounting though.

For solo projects, I really like Mr Schedule [4] and its keyboard driven outliner type interface (inspired by Joel Spolsky's Painless Software Schedules). It doesn't do resource management, so is unlikely to be helpful to you (but maybe to someone else here). Sadly it seems abandoned & requires Java, so I've been making my own cross-platform clone of it (just for my own use for now).

I tried ProjectLibre and it just felt horribly, horribly broken.

I wish someone would make a decent Android tablet app for project management, bonus points if it supported the Samsung Galaxy S-Pen for reordering tasks etc. I tried several Android apps & didn't find anything I liked.

Ton of stuff online. But depending on where you are in your learning path, it's hard to shuffle through it all.

I've had several friends/colleagues go through a coding bootcamp. Make sure to do research and focus on outcomes-focused programs. Seeing you are wanting to learn JavaScript, Couple of the top programs I know are MakerSquare (Austin, SF, LA, and NYC) and Hack Reactor (SF). Your investment will be worth it -- however, only invest if you are serious about a career as a Software Engineer.
Could possibly be. I didn't get on a plane til I was 17 and that was a domestic flight. And didn't get overseas until I was 19 and my grandparents paid for it, and we had family overseas. It just wasn't financially possible for a (reasonably financially stable) working class family like ours to fly.

Now this kind of travel seems routine?

With due respect to disability advocates, that's a ridiculous model of disability. The disability is the problem - if the disabled person's legs worked, they would be fine.

This is not to say we shouldn't have wheelchair ramps. But let's be clear what the problem is, and what the ultimate aim should be, that is, the problem is the disability and the ultimate goal should be to repair the disability. To fix legs and spines, repair eyesight and ears, mend warped brains.
And then it's game over, low survival rate. Which makes it scary but not very dangerous.

Ask HN: What's the quickest way to build a service marketplace?
Hello HN. I'm building a service marketplace, similar to Fiverr, but simpler - I just need to have browse/search/filtering, an availability calendar for every service provider (that they can edit) and payment processing.

Speed is of the essence, so I'm looking for the quickest way to get a fully functional v1 of the website. I'm thinking about using WooCommerce with a few plugins (e.g. Listify) and some customization.

>It says that disability is created by barriers in society.

Super ridiculous. If you put the people categorized as disabled into the savanna without society around, they'd be far worse off. Disability is NOT A SOCIAL PHENOMENON, it's a physical problem with a human body.

My highlights after reading this:
0. Really impressive work.

1. Great link with the Dalvik opcodes manual
http://pallergabor.uw.hu/androidblog/dalvik_opcodes.html

This came up with a google search:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/dalvik-byteco...

2. If you run in to obfuscated smali filenames in the APK, a simple search replace will help you rename the files.

3. Instead of trying to understand the proprietary encryption/decryption, just run the decryption code without understanding it.

4. OP Created a smali emulator for this task (#3). Only supporting a small subset of dalvik instructions.
Which means than for now, the emulator can be defeated using as many dalvik opcodes as possible in your encryption/decryption code.
A simple check-cast for example (Throw a ClassCastException if the reference in the given register cannot be cast to the indicated type.)
can break the emulator.

5. Being written in python, relying heavily on regular expressions and without much algorithmic improvements (the opcode lookup for example is a for loop instead of a lookup table) - there's a lot to improve the emulator performance, but this is an incredible first step.

Art is maybe different to historical places

That's personal I guess, for me both can evoke the same feelings of wonder of what humankind can do. And for both, I have never felt the same, nor have been as blown away by the real thing as by a picture. Maybe I just lack imagination, who knows? For example: I have seen tons of pictures and documentaries of the colosseum in Rome. Sure they give me a feeling of being impressed etc, but none of them do the same to as when actually standing next to the colosseum and looking at it.

I've used Matlab quite a lot for "general purpose" stuff. Ok not networking, but you'd be surprised how good it can be at non-numeric things.

Most of that was probably due to the slick GUI which nothing else comes close to (I've tried them all; trust me), but that is a legitimate factor.

Anyone know what service this was? Or can suggest alternative solutions to this issue.

Im not wanting to setup a full CMS just wanting to allow clients to edit content within static pages. Eg they can navigate the file system and edit text on static pages as if it was rich text.
I think you had much easier if you tried to register Church of Apple devoted to observing and spreading religious faith in superior quality of Apple products.

Everybody's aware that pastafarianism is a mock religion and won't believe that you can found church to seriously observe the mock religion.

There are probably some additional requirements you'd have to fulfill but I don't know what are those.
You are right. I meant immediately evaluate False and not print Nope.
You're talking about naked char[]. You can just as easily make a struct{ int len; char* str; } in C, and combined with the "n" variants of string operations, would work just fine with common tools.

Again, C++ does not make anything safer, and its types can easily be replicated in any other language.

> it's a parasitic radar system

That's an accurate description, though I'd avoid the negative terminology. The system does derive its data from nearby WiFi routers, but it is in no way exploitative, like real parasites. WiFi scanning is something all smartphones do all the time, so this system merely tries harnessing it into something useful at the same time.

As for the technical side - this system uses a Naive Bayes estimator for the signal levels from mac addresses, as well as the presence of mac addresses it sees during scans. Before it can be used it needs to "learn" by visiting all the locations you want to identify. After learning it "tracks" by classifying the location used the Naive bayes estimators.
> Religion (and philosophy and superstition) is probably just the precursor to science

This is first thing. The other is precursor of law and social norms. It is hard to explain to people, that they shouldn't steal, because "it's wrong" and it hurts society. It's easier, when you tell them they will burn in hell for that.
I think that the organizations primary aim would be the religion. So any organisaion, corporate or political, or ethical doesn't have that as it's primary aim then it wouldn't be classed as a religion.

Consider the case of a charity, a corporation that donates to charity, a non-profit cooperative and a political lobby group. They all have a cause in mind, but only the charity has charitable works as the primary action.
It's exactly the sort of thing people who didn't get a job say was the reason ("ah they didn't like me because I'm not from Harvard") and it's exactly the sort of thing interviewers don't actually say.

Maybe he thought it - he might have said something like "I don't think we're looking for someone with your background" or "we're looking for someone with different skills", but people always read what they think into comments like that.

There's almost no chance he actually said "Sorry we're looking for someone from Harvard" (especially as that is obvious from the CV so you wouldn't even get an interview).

Windows is still targeted far more than Mac, it could be argued that the lack of impetus originates from this phenomenon.

I'm worried about when (not "if") this changes, people are snapping up Macs all around me and thusly the platform won't be protected from worms due to" hacker disinterest" forever.
Home automation has always been my main goal. I've been working with some electronic devices as you mentioned. For those interested, Sparkfun has "The Thing": https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13231 which is a good way to get into the ESP8266. I've also tried using Raspberry Pis, which works pretty well but are still too big with the battery to go carry around a building. I'm hoping to try the Pi Zero in the future with a small LiPo battery.

I understand why some may see Julia as 'designed for scientific computing', but this is mostly a reflection of the work that's been put in to build up the library ecosystem. Julia could end up being a good general purpose language too, the only thing holding it back from this is the lack of library diversity and size.
That is demonstrably nonsense, Jeremy Corbyn has among the lowest ratings ever seen for the leader of a large political party, because he is a far-left political extremist.
Right. Bluetooth beacons are a piece of hardware you would have to buy. Basically this tries to accomplish the same thing with just software. Here there is no hardware other than the server (which is provided) and a client computer (which you probably already own).
thanks for the great feeedback! i'll treasure your words :)
I don't think a Yoga class really gives you any benefits if the tutor is not helping you or correcting your positions. All you need to remember is 1) know what muscles the pose is meant to be targeting and make sure you can feel those muscles being stretched and 2) remember to breath, do not hold your breathe!

Only go as far into the pose as you feel comfortable, this is meant to be relaxing, and no one starts off flexible enough to do all the poses perfectly! Keep it up over time though and you will improve.

Also for me I do a max of 3-4 yoga stretches over roughly ~5 minutes, then get back up and do work. I might do this about 5x a day.

Indeed.

I'm close to the ecommerce industry, and can say without hesitation that powa was an utter shower.

Their tech wasn't innovative. It barely worked. It required users to install qr code scanning apps - their entire product is a simple, pre-existing and minor feature in our platform and others. Not much demand for qr bullshittery.

They were painfully expensive to merchants, hostile to platforms and agencies, and often lied in pitches, telling clients we had partnered when the truth was we'd told them where to go hang.

I don't think it was ever intended to work - it was just a mechanism to part vcs with their ill gotten cash.

At least it's crooks robbing crooks.

That's personal I guess, for me both can evoke the same feelings of wonder of what humankind can do.

Sorry you're right, it is personal. But, maybe, it's easier to explain why Monks, Kings or Militia built/destroyed something than it is to say why Rothko/Woody Allen/Rembrandt painted/filmed/wrote something a certain way. I'm probably wrong, my knowledge of art isn't particularly great.

So what I was trying to say that, yes you can get a feeling from art, but understanding it is harder, or explaining it is harder, so taking a photo/selfie of the Mona Lisa is maybe more acceptable than the conveyor belt selfie of temples/canyons/great buildings.

1) Judging by experience of many friends in game industry, the moment a non-free game appears on torrents, sales go down.

2) For the mass audience, streaming solutions (99% of that being youtube), have completely replaced piracy. However, if you noticed, I'm not talking about mass audience, it stopped buying music anyway. I'm talking about Beatport, Juno — shops especially targeted at DJs, who have very different purchasing patterns, and usually different ways of learning about music as well. A significant part of modern electronic music labels have stopped doing digital releases altogether, going vinyl-only, and piracy is one of the main reasons.
This is a great question.

A typical apartment or business has 10s to 100s of routers nowadays that your smartphone can "see" when it scans. Thus, the movement of a single router never really hinders the signal that much.

Still, I might try to add some bootstrapping to the software so that tracking locations can be used to "relearn" places to later test if the routers have been moving around.
I'm more amused than upset. You seem rather steamed up there though... Now how about answering my actual question. What if I don't want to turn off SIP but I want to use dtruss to troubleshoot my system?

If Apple truly doesn't want me to use dtruss, then why do they bundle it?
Not sure if this is what you're picking up. Some bbc news articles are formed from ongoing coverage. What you end up with is a new lead into copy/pasted paragraphs from older articles followed by updated conclusions.

There's definitely old copy in this article, so maybe it's the lack of flow that seems off to you?

Don't take my word for it, you should try it out!

It really depends on how many routers are in your area. For places in cities, there are tons and tons of routers so its very easy to get pretty good resolution. For places more remote, you might not see many routers and then you would be for more limited in your resolution.

I need Windows cloud hosting for SpreadServe, as it's an MS Excel centric server product. I opened an Azure account as I wanted to try Server 2016 Containers. I left two Windows 2016 hosts running, but doing nothing, and attracted a monthly bill of 150GBP! On AWS I've got a heavily tasked Server 2008 t1-micro instance that costs ~20USD per month. So I'm sticking with AWS for pricing reasons. I didn't realize Google was doing Windows hosts, so maybe I'll try it out.
That's an awesome idea! I'll look into that!

Because I've invented something unseen before, spent a fortune developing a method, patented it, also spending a fortune on legal, and don't want script kiddies to mooch off my talent that easily. I have a sense of proprietorship and want to own something. Patents mean jack squat to people like op, and I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I invoke my patent, I'm deemed "evil" because I have a patent, and will have to spend lifetime in courts protecting my invention. If I compile, I'm deemed "evil" because there is no such thing as innovative code.
Photography is an incredible way to experience a new location.
It isn't ruining vacations, its redefining them.

In Laos, I met a young munk named Khao at the top of Phou si in Luang Prabang. He kindly posed for a photo, and then we had a conversation. He gave me his email, and I sent him the photo later on.

The "perfect photo" isn't the goal. Memories and being able to share our awesome travel experiences with friends and family is.

I find these types of criticisms of photography just part of the hipster "backpacker mentality": I'm better than the mainstream. I don't visit the same tourist destinations like everyone else. I eat the local food and not at touristic restaurants. I see a sunset and I don't upload it to Instagram.

Very cool, but why not use lynx?
You're trying to learn an eastern language and the teacher tells you four forms of a word, e.g ma, ma, ma, ma (each with different intonation/level). As an adult westerner you'll be lucky to differentiate two sounds out of the four; had you been practicing since a younger age you wouldn't have a problem.

The same goes for your nose, in general your sense of smell is poor, but with training you can become better at it.

Also why do you think everyone can perceive the maximum color/wavelength range that your eye can respond to? There are tetrachromatic women out there who can differentiate a lot more colors than a normal person can.

This whole study/idea is just that we're basing language on that framework, and by having spent language on it we've spent more time to finely define it, which has caused us to become more skilled at it, etc.
