A bit of feedback. Since is a user facing app, the front page needs to be tidied up a bit.

"Modern image viewer" = decent. It is a sales pitch so at least you included something regular users would want to read about.

Electron and NodeJS = bad. Only developers care about that. IMO keep that in the "About" page or just on Github.

"View on Github" is a bit redundant, you already have a tab for that.

Make the Download button bigger and more prominent. I believe the standard color for download buttons is green.

Core features: again, the first feature ("Electron") should go. The other 5 are valid for users. BTW, IMO pull a summary of those features as part of the slogan aka sales pitch used above.

Settings: make that a separate page. It's super scary for regular users.

Also: list the file formats supported somewhere on the home page, preferably in a section which is easily visible. If the file format list isn't yet as big as you want, you could list some of the formats you plan to support soon (but mark the "work in progress" ones clearly.

Cool project!
It was a joke :)
now with extendended network support one question gets even more important: how do you do rollbacks with ansible? There is no default mechanism or policy that seems to help with that, so I have to hand-roll my rollbacks?

F# on .NET Core works now with released rc2.
just go to http://dot.net and download .NET Core SDK.
Tested on supported ubuntu/osx/docker/win

for example ubuntu 14.04 is https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#ubuntu

if you dont want to use installers, just unzip the binaries packages from https://www.microsoft.com/net/download#core and add that directory to PATH

after that

- mkdir hello && cd hello

- dotnet new --lang fsharp

- dotnet restore

- dotnet run

Agreed, it is settling which could be considered unjust.
One similarity which springs to mind is that both (functional programming and circuits) can be described with similar mathematical models.

Computing machinery and intelligence [Turing, 1950]
Depends what your goal is. If you want to be able to speak/write one or more romance languages correctly, then it's probably bad advice.

If the goal is to be able to have a rough understanding and be able to make yourself understood, then I'm not so sure.

My French is passable, and it made picking up enough Italian, Spanish and Portuguese words that I can slowly work my way through many types of text in those languages a lot easier. Not least because my French teacher made a point of explaining how French vocabulary related to Spanish and English - just the habit of recognising which sounds are related in different languages helps tremendously in recognising words without having to explicitly learn them in each language. I don't use any of that much and certainly not enough to justify spending a lot of time learning to speak more languages flawlessly, but it's been helpful in many occasions.

As an outsider I have a hard time seeing how the people living in and the people wanting to live in the bay area are of different cultures for any meaningful sense of the world. This is largely a political issue over priorities and not a fear of the unknown.

"[…] can you see 72 satellites? No? But they can see you and know where are you."

How do they do it? I was under impression that GPS (or GLONASS/Galileo) satellites are basically just flying atomic clocks, and even Iridium (which is probably what the author means by "72 satellites") can't track people.
I like to think that Android, iOS with Swift, Windows with .NET, Unikernels are somehow evolution paths for what Inferno/Limbo could have been.

I am making my way through Zed Shaw’s [0] learn C the hard way [1]. I know many people won't like Zed's disregard for K&R, but the exact level of initial difficulty depends on your background. If C is your first compiled language (it is for me), you should appreciate Zed’s smooth guidance through the world of makefiles, valgrinds and necessary tooling to start learning C programming.

Another advantage of learn C the hard way is how data structure oriented it is – the exercise involve implementing BST, linked lists and other data structures, which gives you a great understanding of how basic data structures are implemented and used on hardware (sort of) level. IMO, C needs an accessible learning resource for beginners to have the high-level understanding of necessary tools and basics of compilation and all expert books like K&R are too intimidating. Zed is trying to occupy that niche, which draws a lot of fire from 20+ years of experience C hackers, who learnt it by building their own computer nand gates.

Hope this helps.

This works for libraries/frameworks installed in a common place, like /usr/lib or /Library/Frameworks.

But, all those apps ship their own copy of Electron, so there is no simple way for OS to share pages.
Studies have shown Esperanto is a useful aide for teaching languages. For example, teach students Esperanto for 1 year and French for 3 years, and they end up speaking French better than the group who just learned French for 4 years. Learning one language makes learning other languages easier, and as a constructed language, Esperanto is very regular and thus easy to learn.

I only started programming at all because the bundle that contained the computer + tape-deck + games had a faulty tape-deck, such that my family couldn't use it.

I spent about four days reading the manual, complete with BASIC tutorial, until the shops opened again and it could be returned & exchanged.

Fact of the matter is that Manning was born with a Y chromosome and a penis. Mental illness aside, he's still a man, albeit one who has chosen to mutilate himself.

Well, then this seems more of a packaging problem than an actual tech problem.

In an ideal world that would be the next step if the app reaches a large audience. I'm not sure that from the upstream developer's point of view the investment of limited resources into per-OS packaging is a good idea at this stage...
That does not matter. An URL alone does not entice users to do nothing. You need more to get a proper dark pattern, to get the "convincing the user to do things" part of the definition of what makes something a dark pattern in the first place. Please, look as well at the website http://darkpatterns.org/ to see what a dark pattern is about.
Think about it in terms of opportunity cost. Money spent on one thing cannot be spent on something else. Saying "this is always more important than financial gain" in effect means "this is always more important than everything else". That's clearly a form of taboo - you're rejecting outright the idea of trade-offs between competing values.

Well to be fair I know of a certain game that was released on PS3, which ran into the hardware limit for locks inside the UI system. Someone thought of just commenting them out, and tested it - the whole UI worked fine, and we went from having thousands of locks in the UI system to having zero - and the game shipped like that.
I've not seen that series before. Thanks!

I do think the bar has gone up. The price of healthcare, housing, and educating one's children has increased at faster rates than inflation.

Since the base unit is the household, instead of the individual, I suspect it doesn't account for how many women have joined the workforce since 1967. There's a number of interesting factors going on with workforce participation in that time period: http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000 (can't link directly, but there are chart options on the page).

I can't find a series for changes in hours worked.

I'd also love to discover a measure of job stability, which seems to be part of the "traditional" definition of middle class.

I think the programming side is trivial enough that you'd probably not benefit from my help/involvement.

The harder part is gathering accurate data, working out what lists users even want, and the promotion of the service/site. These last parts are the ones I'd struggle to be useful at.

These are reasonable questions but there is no evidence that Terry Bollea was an unwilling participant. Obviously Thiel wasn't in it for the money but (higher potential) compensation was not necessarily the main motivation for Bollea either. He's already a wealthy man by most standards and probably more concerned about his (Terry) honor and causing his character (Hulk) to lose face because if that hurts the macho public image he's deliberately developed then he loses both future income and public presence.

Some people will find the idea of Bollea having a moral code or honour to be facetious but I'd like to remind them that people have very different definitions of what that means.

I adore Dash though, and honestly reach for it (with a tonne of docsets loaded into it) before I reach for my browser these days. Extremely useful, especially when doing work with very well-defined APIs.

I do a lot of personal programming on public transport, and while I can tether, to be honest I prefer using Dash and keeping my computer mostly offline if I want to focus.

It's a shame that HN is almost completely incapable of having productive discussions regarding Electron-based apps (especially Atom). Yes they're bigger downloads than "necessary", and yes they use more ram than a native app probably would for the same task. We get it.
All continents have shifted in that timescale. Perhaps more relevant is the connection to Austronesia: the first human settlers arrived in Madagascar about 2000-2500 years ago on outrigger canoes from Borneo. Bantu people came later, around 1000 AD, so they are "colonists" somewhat in the same way as Europeans are in America, although they mixed with rather than replaced the Austronesian "first nations".
I don't think they were exactly equally wrong. The Tychonic system doesn't quite predict stellar parallax, for example. I'd say it's the worse model of those two.

And it looks less pretty on pictures, too.

EDIT: Ironically, the lack of observable (at the time) parallax was reportedly used by Tycho Brahe to argue against heliocentrism, because "stars obviously can't be far enough to make prallax unobservable". Now, that's clearly wrong.
I disagree with this article. Education can fix poverty, but only if that education is responsible. Meaning: avoiding for-profit colleges and getting a degree in something competitive. So much of college today is debt-loading with classes students don't need, don't want, and shouldn't have to take. So long as universities treat students as cash machines, instead of humans seeking empowerment through education, we will continue a vicious cycle of high debt, unmarketable degrees, and sustained poverty.

People have no fucking clue how welding actually works here, do they...

There's a difference between slagging shit together with a MIG gun, and stick or TIG welding. Ideally, you would know all the chemistry and physics underlying what you are doing, but the reality is that most people learn rules of thumb and get on with it. Use this type of rod, and this setting on the welder, for plain steel, this combination for stainless, and this one for aluminum. Most welders, even the very good ones, frankly don't have the brainpower to handle programming - and that's okay. They make a decent living for themselves and their families. I wouldn't want to suck down that much argon and oxidized metal, but it is what it is.

I support this 100%. Just because someone calls themselves, or could ever be claimed as, journalists, does not automatically give them a pass in ruining peoples lives by creating sensationalist stories which has the only purpose of drawing increased web traffic. Gawker should be taken to task over its behavior and I hope they are forced out of business.
It seems to me the amount of data available through the internet is what powered the recent advances in ML. Hence the reason data companies like Google have been making the progress.

The domain is also limited, Siri can't play Go, and AlphaGo can't do voice recognition.

I believe the ML researchers if they are saying AI is not close.
It doesn't matter if it is worth your time. It was worth their time to throw it together so you better generate the eyeballs to pay for it.

a few suggestions:

- crop the image or fix just the height in the thumbnail section so they don't get distorted. Electron means it's with CSS, right? the background image can crop via CSS.

- don't make the user wait for the animation until he can interact again. I want to tap the arrow keys twice fast to quickly skip ahead.

- hide bars delay and animation speed should be set much faster by default.

- hide bars should include the thubmnails button

- fullscreen deserves a button.

- menu bar should dissappier in fullscreen (I'm on windows)

- auto-add all images of that folder if just one image is opened (this is default in windows and I see mac people stumble to show a few pictures in big all the time)

- hide the thumbnail list by default so the auto-add does not add clutter

- the black bar on top is mostly empty in the middle and just occludes the picture, maybe just a small rectangle for the controls was better.

- I think a more discrete border with the thumbnails would look better (50% grey, 1px, 2px rounded edge. white or turquoise for current image)

- most of the settings should be hidden in an advanced section

- on windows it does not seem to register the file associations

- on windows I'd like to be able to choose the installation path

- nitpicking: the logo/icon does not work well in 16x16px
Just a side note: The OPM is adjusted for inflation (set at three times the cost of a minimum food diet in 1963, updated annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index, see: http://www.irp.wisc.edu/faqs/faq2.htm#official). So if wages and inflation always increase in sync then there would be no reason for the number of people living in poverty to change (even if their living standards are higher in absolute terms) - apart from changes in the income distribution of the whole population. That being said, I did initially expect changes in the distributions for poor people with respect to education (more poverty among people with HS degrees than among people with uni degrees). But now that I think about it, there's really no reason why the number of available jobs which require a certain degree should change at all - ie. more electrical engineers can only create more electronics companies (and jobs) if the market has a demand for it or otherwise will just decrease the respective median wage. It seems obvious to me now but I didn't think about it like this before...
The first step in that is expanding which schools are included in the"for-profit" group. Very few schools are really non-profit.
I think I can answer this question partially from a slightly different stand point.

We host (the fully managed kind) several clients' projects (small and medium). It isn't atypical to have some clients hire us for server "management" as insurance. Meaning we only dive in when something awry happens to their stack and they need that jack-of-all-trade tech who can pinpoint the culprit quickly. ~$30/mo as insurance is peanuts compared to potential revenue gaps.

Others want a turnkey solution where we document the details of their stack and we manage the ops part in coordination with the dev. I think this is where the most value is captured by our clients.

There are other interesting outlier cases but it's likely OT :)
But it will not decrease poverty. Rather, will likely increase for people who will appear to be unable to keep up. Because poverty is a relative term. You are poor vs majority of population (there is also absolute poverty, but it almost doesn't exist in developed nations including the USA, and can be only result of mental condition or heavy substance abuse).

After all, most American poor are well-off from a purely material point of view even compared to West Europeans (bigger houses, cars, etc.).
