Bret Victor's inventing on principle
The client is identified by the public key only. Two clients behind the same NAT can connect to the same server, no problemo.
> Also, IMO stuff in decimal is almost always easier to compare than fractional. When someone asks me for a size up from an 8mm wrench, I know to grab the 9mm. When someone asks me for a size up from 5/16", it'll take me a bit to get to 11/32".

A lot of that is just due to how we teach fractions — but decimal notation really is nice. I wish that we used duodecimal instead: all the advantages of decimal, but with a far better base.
Not that Strunk and White is bad, but it's a peculiar choice to list first because it is mediocre and there are so many other options which are better. At the very minimum, Strunk and White is a very contentious entry, and people (like me) will come out of the woodwork to attack it.

Interesting! Sounds like you're pretty well versed in this sort of thing. The 5ESS analog line cards seem to roll off frequencies before 3100 hertz like on most switches (a fair bit too - like, maybe anything above 2950). Do you know if this is a byproduct of the analog switching stage? I always just assumed that was a bad design decision on someone's part.

As for the announcement trunks, I think the 13A/15A announcement machines, like the one on that 202-986 number, tend to break channels out into analog pairs. Sometimes you get crosstalk between the announcement pairs too - it's absolutely fantastic. For the longest time, I could've sworn the playback mechanism itself was analog between all the hiss, crosstalk, and analog source material you'd hear.

For the hell of it, here's some better examples of that system. That 202 number doesn't do it justice;

512-371-3337 (listen for the weird sweep crosstalk at the end)

This is not true at all. Getting too high of a salary may increase your chance of getting canned (performance or RIF.) And offering too low of a salary to a new employee may cause problems if the new employee finds out they're paid less than their peers.
On Windows:

- Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org is a superb text editor with support for almost every language and a great number of advanced and useful features.

- Everything http://voidtools.com is a great local drive search tool and is blindingly fast.

- Syncdocs http://syncdocs.com is a better Google Drive client that supports multiple users and a host of other advanced features.
I think the key point isn't not to automatically sign or not sign non-competes.

It's to realize they are a negotiable item (just like salary, stock, vacation, severance, etc.) and to ask for appropriate compensation in return for signing it. This can include a guarantee of salary during the time of its application. You can also narrow the conditions under which they're invoked or the scope of what's considered competition.
No offense but trying to read a list with that background burns the eyes
Unconstitutional according to what legal argument?

(I'm not disagreeing with you, just curious)
I really wish there was a Json oriented db like sqlite. I really like making underscore like queries. db('x').table('y').getAll(prop:true).sortBy('propB').limit(100)

Or may be there is and I don't know.

Nobody has mentioned screen. This is unacceptable! screen is extremely reliable and useful.

I'd like to say emacs, but it's not really that "reliable" in that it often goes crazy and eats up a CPU, and I must maintain separate .emacs files for slightly different computers and vintages of emacs. It does work very well though.
Thanks for the feedback.

You're right that it's crude, lame even. That's why I dragged my feet on releasing it for weeks. But if you're getting the incomplete message, chances are your response is actually incomplete. We've had over 7,000 submissions and only 2 issues so far. Feel free to send me an example at steve at writeonpar dot com...I'm curious why you keep seeing that.

Writing is subjective. Your idea of elegant prose is different from mine, especially when context isn't specified.

I'll concede the game is more of a tool to practice good grammar & clarity than a way to teach it, but I don't agree that it's no different from rewriting random sentences in a book.

The par/record sentences are helpful for a lot of people. The timer is a simplistic but effective way to create mental pressure. And when we add videos explaining the journey from lousy to concise, players will actually learn the reasons for lousiness and techniques for clarity.

And, consistent practice trumps everything. Strange as it is, I've tried to pick examples that make the game less boring than any class/book/lecture you'll find anywhere. The result: this tool helps a number of people consistently practice writing better...something that wasn't otherwise happening.
That might be one of the most contentious entries. I personally think it is overrated, muddy, and generally mediocre as far as style guides go. There seem to be a lot of people who hate it as well as some people who love it. The only guides I dislike more are the MLA and APA guides.
I never mentioned a WiFi analyzer that can see traffic. By "time is obviously possible" I meant "an obvious improvement that could be made based on your description"
I think most of my upvotes are from people who only read half the article waiting for him to say something interesting and giving up. My grade schooler tells better stories.

As someone else said, the title is terrible. What we are left with in some scenarios is choosing one or the other, not one before the other.
This game simulates at a granularity that is light-years beyond anything else that exists, so it's only fitting that the dev notes should contain goals which are absolutely impossible to imagine in any other game.
It's funny how you can look at a simple item on that list, say, 'randomly generated musical instruments' and suddenly imagine a magma-powered tuba that menaces with spikes of microcline and which has an engraving of a dwarf and dwarves in orthoclase and rat leather relating to the founding of Doomedice on the Forgotten Glaciers of Terror in 1387...

How about IP being leaked? EX: saving all your code on a flashdrive on the 1 day that you work from home.

Sometimes crazy people do stupid things.

Obviously you should never actually do something like that, but from the companies perspective, an X% chance of millions in damages is a stupid risk to take, for little benefit.
The whole website experience is frustrating.

Are those painting being returned as a digital work or are you talking about actual paintings?

I am trying with Get Started, it is supposed to teach me how to start using the API, I'm presented with only a choice "Oil Paintings". If I click on it, I am then presented a form which asks me to input "some text", upload some images, and type in "some links".

I then go on clicking, thinking that this is just an example of a subset of the API. Instead I am presented with a price indicator slider. I guess the sense of it is "tell me how much you want to pay" but I have seen no example of what the API does and honestly at that point I stopped investigating because I am not interested anymore. This must not have been the part of the website I was looking for.

I go back and see "programmable art". I am not sure again. If the works are being done by a machine using functional programming (where given a parameter the result is the same) why there can't be no examples???

Then my eyes are caught by "Handcrafted Artisanal Emoji", again it's confusing if this stuff is man-made or machine-made and it just feels this has been shoved in the page just as a different fallback product.

Everything really seems unconnected and there is not one clear direction.

Also, you might be the next Victor Hugo, but today you are not that or are not yet known by that, so simply saying "hey trust me, you will like this" it is not enough.

What does "life skill" mean? Is math a "life skill"? Why do we think that, other than the fact that math is force-fed to us and made part of our standardized testing? I've worked with many functional, professional adults who have taken enough math to get into elite colleges and yet, a few years removed from gradua5ion, can't confidently calculate tips without a phone app, nevermind use algebra to estimate proportions or reason (not actually calculate) about mathematical optimization. What other "life skill" can people practice for hours a day, five days a week, for 10+ years, but lose the ability to use it for everyday simple problems after just a few years?

I won't argue the case for coding as a "life skill" -- the fact that the OP equates it with carpentry, which IMO is like equating literacy with publishing a novel, means that we have different concepts of what "coding" entails. It's enough to point out that math wasn't always seen as essential to being a citizen in a developed country, and now that it is ubiquitous, it's still of dubious value for non-STEM adults if you have adopted as limited a view of math as the OP does of coding.

FWIW, the learn to code movement has existed long before it was "both trendy and lucrative"...it is not trendiness that makes it a valuable skill, it's the fact that computers and data are so much more ubiquitous today...just like literacy existed long before the printing press but was of dubious value before books and papers became commonplace https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/afips/1972/5079/00...
Why Dropbox left Amazon's cloud and built its own from scratch
That's one piece of software that has almost everything right.
Presumably LC itself is recording the transactions? It's obvious that apps would want to do so as well, but that certainly isn't a necessity. An app could remember a transaction long enough to ensure that it had posted, and then forget about it forever.
The title is a bit more precise than commenters in this thread are giving credit for. There is no handbook for "being a writer", but there are many handbooks for writing.

You could translate this to another field. I've read lots of books on programming, but very few on "how to be a programmer". Mostly a few short blog posts with contradictory information.
While I definitely still have issues with Bluetooth keyboards and mice, I have three pairs of bluetooth headphones (two of which are BT4, one is BT3) and they work great.

The only real problem is switching between devices is still much more annoying than it should be (I ought to be able to just select the device from the drop-down on the desired device).
I have a few planets from back in 2013, and I bought a star today as a way of thanking ~zod, et al. for the three years of intellectual amusement I've derived from watching Urbit as it developed. So at least one of those sales is legitimate.
I noticed a scaling option in the Window preferences and tried setting it to 200%. It's not perfect, but I think I might be able to resize it and disable some elements until it works. Thanks for the tip!

I'd like to see CSS-shaped HTML like this:

doctype html
html {
head {
title Hello there
script type='text/javascript' src='main.js'
}
body {
p class='one two' {
span Sample text
}
}
}

Is there an HTML preprocessor using a similar language?
Vagrant, Ansible. I'm slowly reducing our scattered flock of precious little snowflake servers to nice, boring, version controlled configs. Being able to sleep for 8 hours every night is glorious; I will never take that for granted, for the rest of my life.

First I SSH into local VMs to prototype a minimal cluster. Then once I'm done making mistakes, I write out the playbook. Spin up some EC2s, add them to the inventory, and deploy.

Reading through a Git history of playbook changes beats the hell out of searching for an email thread from a sysadmin who no longer works with us. I guess Git is the real hero here, I keep forgetting that there was a time before git. Those were dark times.
Yes, users flagged it. Normally that would also kill the story (i.e. close it to new comments and hide it from users who don't have 'showdead' set to 'yes' in their profile), but once there are enough comments, the software presumes there's an ongoing discussion and spares it.
It doesn't seem to have worked out for F# as they have recently adopted what Scala has been doing for years.
I love Lisp, and I love s-expressions, and I honestly can't viscerally understand why others don't. From listening to my teammates' comments, I think that it has something to do with how they register visual patterns in code. Lisp really does seem to be lots of irritating silly parentheses to them: where I just see sculpted code-shapes, they see a mess of undifferentiated parens and symbols.

I wonder if there really are mental types well-suited to Lisp and types ill-suited to it.
I try Synergy every year or so. Depending on how my home setup is. Sometimes I'm wanting a lot of machines, then I want to consolidate. Then I go back to more, etc.

I've never found it to be reliable in any configuration. I've bought it at least a couple of times on different accounts. Love the idea, and when it works, it is fantastic. But I can't say that it is reliable at all.
Information asymmetry isn't a market failure, it causes market failures. The second sentence of the article you linked explains that. I'm sure reading further you'll find more information on the topic. The same goes for lack of competition.

There also aren't many kinds of market failures. The market fails when goods aren't efficiently allocated, this and only this is a market failure.

May I suggest you learn about economics 101 before trying to discuss it?
You still want to compress in the first place as a means of removing entropy and some known plain text if possible. Most systems that give you the option of compressing or not do so because you may have already used some other method of compressing the data (E.G. it's a video file or already a compressed transport archive).

The addition of padding, even worthless (hopefully at least pseudo-random) garbage, up to some reasonable minimum message size, is a form of making analysis of message /size/ useless.
Which is one of the selling points of block cyphers. They may not conceal the magnitude of the payload but they do obscure the exact byte count by rounding up. But that probably doesn't stop CRIME from being workable.
That's exactly what we are doing but running the SVG code through Apache Batik Rasterizer to turn it into png. I like this approach because the user can customise the chart in the front end and then the same resulting svg code is rendered by the backend. The only issue is styling as you mentioned.
Yes, ever since this news came out I have been gradually winding down my Lending Club investments.
Obviously you should never actually do something like vindictively break the law and cause millions in damages. That would be illegal and hugely immoral.

But sometimes crazy and/or angry people do stupid things. The company doesn't 'really' know if you are secretly crazy or willing to risk jail for spite. Use that to your advantage.

An X% chance of losing millions is a stupid risk to take for little benefit.

The company has a significant incentive to not needlessly piss off former employees purely from an expected value perspective.
Just got an invite in my mailbox. Thanks for following up! Love what you guys are doing.
"I was operating a sole-proprietorship business from 1998 to 2012."
"They don't prevent me from joining a competitor, having all my old clients find out, and having them then decide to join me."

That's on your clients though, and their call. You have done literally nothing to make that happen, and it's unrelated to you leaving or not. If the other firm hires a superstar lawyer, they may do the same thing.

This is essentially "not an evil we should prevent" :)

" But you can't argue that there isn't an argument."

I think there are good arguments for non-solicits. I don't still don't see any for non-competes.
That is because I don't think "try and indirectly prevent people unrelated from employee from doing things" is a valid argument for directly restricting employee movement, instead of directly dealing with the behavior at hand. If having clients move is really just that harmful, make it part of the contract with the clients. They sign retainer and other agreements, require they not move for x number of days upon their current contact leaving the firm, or else they pay you damages for jumping ship.

(i'm a lawyer, so i'm aware this would run afoul of most states ethics rules, i'm just pointing out there are valid ways to deal with this that make sense, all things being equal. )
The file access module allows you to modify the buffer - change it to something very large and let it sit for a bit after hitting play.
Jade comes somewhat close but opts for the offside rule rather than brackets and abbreviates class and id with . and # respectively.
really you can't design a machine that handles more than 10g's?

the designers are targeting a certain g-limit assumed for the pilots, and then make the plane as light as possible.

perhaps we will see hybrids in the intermediate term : humans providing guidance to the unmanned craft (with latency and jammability) and the craft autonomously doing the low latency fighting. i'm not sure this is "worse" if all the planes are unmanned. granted any fighting is bad.

this also has big implications for design -- reliability requirements, disposability change. one way missions.

the comments re: once the virtual fight ends the humans start fighting, i don't think so. they won't be as good, else the ai version wouldn't be in service, so that would be pointless.
What sort of hypothetical situations that would apply to an insignificant fraction of the work force will we attempt to accommodate to the benefit of corporations and the neglect of the VAST VAST majority of workers?

If your scenario were what companies by in large used non competes for then I doubt anyone would have a problem. But in the meantime they're mostly using it to fuck people over en mass. Maybe if they behaved like adults, but in the modern business environment where anything legal is good, sometimes you need to take away the toys from entities that basically act like a bunch of toddlers.
If that were true, I would expect the experience of using Uber to be identical to using a taxi, or for AirBnBs to be identical to hotels.

They're different experiences and certainly innovating. Just because they had to overcome legislation to grow does not mean that regulatory subversion is their only benefit.
>>Personally, I enjoy when health related things are posted here because the HN community does a good job of parsing the bullshit from the useful information.

Furthermore, health-related articles are extra beneficial for the HN community, since most people here probably have very sedentary jobs.
The original MCI and Sprint started as long distance "disruptors" and I think it was the beginning of the end for phreaking. When you could suddenly call anywhere in the USA for $0.10/min (though that sounds expensive now) it was a game-changer.
For many years John Boyd and the "Fighter Mafia" helped to plan, build, test, and then manufacture fighters that had optimal "performance envelopes" that enabled them to maintain dominance in the sky. Perhaps this concept means that the new "performance envelope" is going to be one of software. This argument is fleshed out here: http://warontherocks.com/2016/02/imagine-the-starling-peak-f...
Goodness gracious, I love LabVIEW. It's so gratifying to be able to watch the data flow from VI to VI, checking what arguments are passed. I used it for FIRST Robotics, and writing code with LabVIEW was a dream compared to its hobbled Java-1.3-like counterpart.

Interfaces are great, in terms of putting together "75% tools" (ones that aren't perfect or polished, but get the job done). Being able to pull all sorts of data from an active robot and relay it to the users in an easy-to-design interface was awesome.

I still wish there were a good open-source version of some parts of LabVIEW.

(I also was not paid to write this. I just loved the dev environment. I never looked at data quite the same way again.)
We wouldn't need non-compete if companies got patents instead of trade secrets. But China doesn't give a crap about US patent so we can't have nice things.
This definitely seems to set a new bar in terms of simplicity for integrating with a backend, which is nice, but this bit is concerning: "jindo will replay every jindo event that has occured on that website". That would presumably need to change if it were to scale beyond a small amount of history, though then I wonder if you can keep the model as simple as it is now.
This is good, but still falls into the FullContact/Intercom/Clearbit camp without clear differentiation. The service would add a lot more value if it niched down and provided really relevant information.
As a sales person, I haven't found a service that actually tells me what I want to know about a lead/company. I often find myself wanting to know some combination of the following:

# of employees, approximate revenues, years in business, family-owned or not, number of locations, age of founder(s), scope(s) of work.

This helps me form a mental image of the company and helps me decide whether or not its worth pursuing them.

*edited for clarity
I was a premium subscriber until January 2016. My theory: "Meh it is cheap."

But Evernote was just a jumbled repository were information went to die. I didn't _use_ Evernote in any productive sense except as a "dump and purge" place.

So I downgraded to Basic. Lost the ability to email notes to Evernote. This was my most-used method of sending things to Evernote. The loss of "email to Evernote" capabilities didn't matter.

I used Evernote less.

Now this downgrade. I suspect that for me this will highlight how little Evernote means in my workflow.

Here's the thing. The amount they want for Premium is trivial. And yet I don't even see the value of Evernote at its modest price -- after 4 years of subscribing.

Sorry Evernote. I want to love you but I can't find a way to do it.

Same in Bangkok. Taxis are plentiful and cheap. But like elsewhere if you flag one down they often refuse you if you want to go somewhere inconvenient for them. That's where a taxi hailing app like GrabTaxi is useful. It works like Uber except it's a taxi that picks you up. Uber exists here but hasn't got much traction (as far as I know).
I ran it 3 times from my iPhone in Tokyo. Results were Iran/Afghanistan, China/Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia.
