Hi Ben,

The value proposition simply put comes down to getting more done in less time. Easy deployments and managing of apps, more focus on coding and less on server admin stuff. Before I try too much here and create a wall of text, do you understand the value proposition of competing services like Heroku, Bluemix or App Engine?

On documentation, I get where you are coming from, we do have a getting started page just after you have signed up and logged in talking more about getting started. We have plans for a more dedicated docs/developer site, I think that is the type of site you were looking for.

On our Github org we have a repo with Hello World samples for shelf, redstone, express, hapi, angular-dart and angular-js (the first two are Dart server frameworks). There is a step by step list of how to create and deploy an app. There is no screenshots at this point but maybe I should add that?

We like the whole onboarding experience to be a good as possible, so I really appreciate that you are taking the time to share your feedback!

Regards, Robert

>More, yet expensive housing won't help

Yes it will. It might not help as much as cheaper housing, but it will help. Any increase to housing stock should lower prices overall. For example, building a luxury apartment building that adds a few hundred expensive units to an area will apply a bit of downward pressure on other parts of the housing market.

That's still just cuprate superconductors except flattened inside of a metal tube. It's still expensive, inflexible, and for reasons to do with the SC physics, behave differently than the kind of Type 1 superconductors needed for MRIs and NMRs (high temperature superconductors are Type 2 and are a drastically different phenomenon).

The guidelines for a framework I use is to put views and models in separate folders. Which means code for any model is spread out between at least two folders. Finding code is annoying.
I am really amazed that more people are not outraged at this. When things like the Pentagon Papers came out or when Watergate hit the news, people reacted and change happened.

Today everything gets buried in a sea of noise and entertainment. Long term this cannot be good for the general health and welfare of society to not ponder on and discuss.

All code does not need to be easily understandable by a novice developer. Minimizing cognitive load is certainly a good thing, but using overly simple grammar for a complex task leads to unneeded verbosity.

When writing software, as with any form of writing, you should keep your audience in mind as you write.

It's the dream of every engineer to get to make something that doesn't suck, right? But the 80/20 rule applies. Getting through that last 20% that is suboptimal is 80% of the work. Every hour you spend polishing your way to perfection is an hour you don't spend adding new features or creating new products. Every bug fix is paid for with opportunity cost - at a very high compound interest rate, if you're in a startup.

I've come to the conclusion that if your code doesn't kinda suck, you're doing something wrong. You're wasting effort. Actually, I came to a much harsher conclusion than that - I've concluded that all software sucks. That all software hovers near the line between "barely works" and "doesn't work". Why? Because by the time you get to feature-complete, if it still works, it's so riddled with compromise and bad decisions that you never want to look at that code again. You want to start something fresh and new, and THIS time, you won't make all those stupid mistakes! This time, it won't suck!

It always sucks, in the end.
I'd like to double-click on that comment. :) If you're ever interested in writing more about that, I'd upvote it.
I'm surprised this was not known before now. I have met several people with aid-dogs that can tell them when their blood sugar is very low. When asked, these people said the dogs can smell a problem.

I met one gent as a FIRST robotics world tournament that advertised on his dog what the dog's responsibilities were and encouraged people to ask questions. He said that the dog had saved his life several times and wanted to let others know what is possible.

"That's essentially a different label for the same thing. Affordable housing is dense housing."

In cities, affordable housing is almost always dense. It doesn't apply in the other direction, though. Dense housing isn't necessarily affordable.

But, building more dense housing increases the supply of affordable housing almost 1:1, even if the new dense housing isn't affordable.

Sounds like how Deep Blue defeated Kasparov. The first time is always awkward, but now that we know that it can be done we can develop more generic algorithms. A Stockfish for air combat may be several years away but it's coming.
Assuming the results are pretty accurate about the outcome, why not? You can either surrender now and not have any civilians killed, or suffer the following casualties and still lose.

Heck it might even prevent war if the simulation says that both sides will suffer too high casualties to make it worth it.
In any formula where the 2 in 2π has been canceled by some irrelevant 2, the cancellation is not really an advantage; it obscures semantics.

Also, when counting formulas don't forget to expand "angular frequency" ω to the 2πf it denotes.
I agree, and I've used Laravel too. Yii is built and designed by someone who has written frameworks before and understands how to do it right. The creator wrote the Prado framework, then wrote Yii from the ground up.

Laravel definitely has all the hype, but Yii has been around much longer and is better architected imho. It does have a slightly steeper learning curve and isn't as instantaneously easy to use at first, but it's worth the effort.

Writing it equal to 0 isn't a hack, it's a common method of understanding a function. You factor polynomials by setting them equal to 0, for example.

In the case of Euler's identity, what we're really asking is "what values of x make e^(ix) + 1 = 0 true?" and the answer is "every multiple of π". Using τ instead hides half of the answers.

Sorry, I was confused. What I meant was actually responsive design on the "desktop" site, perhaps instead of a separate mobile variant.

I really prefer to zoom in on most website to get bigger text, and good responsive layouts often become less cluttered when you zoom. GitHub's widths are too static though so everything just overflows.

I kind of like using the mobile version but it's annoying to have to spoof the user agent and all features aren't available there.
While some people may like to read code that looks like SQL, I've found Java 8 features like this are poorly supported by the debugger, so debugging stuff like this tends to require "horse whispering" or rewriting the logic into something that can be stepped through.
I'm having a hard time imagining how a Python tool could be a solution to a performance problem at the Google scale.
So, while it might be the fashionable thing to do some kind of (machine/deep/?) learning approach where you allow it to run millions of simulations and figure out things itself, I can understand why they didn't.

Learning approaches which depend on mass-simulation are great when your problem only ever exists in a "virtual" context, but what happens when you want to take your trained neural network out into the real world? Clearly it's going to have to adapt to the differences between the real world and the virtual world - but how would you do that? You can't run millions of dogfights in the real world to adjust its training.

Mixing units caused the loss. All-imperial would have worked just as well as all-metric.
Try using far less gain on your guitars when recording. Gain that sounds great in-room is too much for a record, generally.

The great challenge of recording is to capture the authority of a roaring guitar amp, the brashness of drums, the purity of a voice, and then squeeze it down into something that fits in an iPhone earbud and still has realistic proportions. That's why the idea of "accuracy" in recording is so ludicrous. A record is to a live performance as a HO train set is to a real train. It's a miniature, a model. To make it look "right", you have to exaggerate some details and lose others.
Only among the inexperienced. Skilled people use both as needed, even at the same time. You can keep the complex SQL in a view and map the view with the ORM. ORM's are far too valuable to ever hand write all that SQL and SQL is far too flexible to ever ORM 100% of every use case, the ORM should make up most of the program with hand written SQL sprinkled in where useful when the ORM is clunky.

I've noticed recently that especially in online discussions, the term "cognitive load" is used as a catch-all excuse to rag on code that someone doesn't like. It appears to be a thought-terminating cliché.

There's definitely room to talk about objective metrics for code simplicity, which are ultimately what many of these "cognitive load" arguments are about. But cognitive load seems to misrepresent the problem; I think it's hard to prove/justify/qualify without some scientific evidence over a large population sample.

With that said, the article presented fine tips, but they seem to be stock software engineering tips for readable code.
That's not my experience at all. My Magic keyboard and mouse work fine. I've used them with my Mac mini and my Macbook without any problems. They paired without any trouble.

Not at all. MRI machines have huge start up costs but that doesn't mean they cost any less to run because making and storing liquid helium is orders of magnitude more expensive than liquid nitrogen. According to [1], for a new MRI from the manufacturer, it costs about $2 million for startup costs (capex and training) and another $2.5 million over the next 5 years for operating costs. Considering these things easily last 20-30 or more years the lifetime cost of an MRI will be an order of magnitude greater than the acquisition cost. Don't know how accurate this document is but it fits my experience of about $1 mil start up with $0.5-1 million per year operating costs.

[1] http://proimagingservices.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/How...
The US helium reserve which supplies most of world helium was ordered to liquidate & shut down by 2010, so it is being sold way below cost.
One of the best approachable writeups I've found on getting started in reversing embedded devices is an old gem from Matasano. Retsaot is Toaster, Reversed: Quick 'n Dirty Firmware Reversing - http://www.woodmann.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-11707.html

That should give you a little bit of a feel for it. Its a fun rabbit hole to spend a few years down.
It is already acknowledged that the initial guess can be wrong. We don't need to consider all possibilities to come up with a prior distribution because that is basically the 'trick' of the Bayesian updating scheme: Just start somewhere and we'll get closer to the true distribution by collecting more data and by using it the most logical way, namely by solving for the posterior. No imagination needed. It is more efficient to distribute the initial probability mass according to our best guess using a lot of imagination, but that itself is basically Bayesian updating because human reasoning is approximately Bayesian (or Bayesian with a noisy prior/bias).

A physical interpretation might be that all the other realities are realized in terms of the Many-worlds interpretation or in terms of Tegmark's level 4 multiverse. Without much information we cannot really nail down which reality we find ourselves in (cf. the sleeping beauty problem and Boltzmann brains). But we can use Bayesian updating to become more certain about what reality is about.

What do I gain from that? I am not entirely sure, but I find a probability is just better interpretable as frequency or fraction compared to a subjective quantity.
You don't really seem familiar with the U.S. suburbs. They weren't built for cars, they were built for agriculture originally, then for people who wanted yards, land, and more freedom.

I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I could walk to two grocery stores, but each took 30 minutes each way. I also grew up across from both my grade and middle school, a horse ranch, a gym, and a massive park.

I loved my childhood because we could play full field soccer games, rugby, football (American), etc. However, if my parents wanted to get anything you had to drive.

Most people on HN don't appear to realize what it's like growing up or living outside of the west or east coasts of the U.S. or Europe. It's not that it was built for cars, it was built for farms and agriculture, nothing is wrong with that either.

I strongly disagree. I grew up in a rural area with the nearest neighbor a quarter mile away and there was just no one around. There was no community to speak of (at least that I felt). I felt very disconnected as a teenager and was basically trapped until I turned 16 and got my driver's license.

I now live in a major, walkable city and much prefer it. There are universities, the arts, amazing restaurants, and all of it is accessible via subway/bus/train (we don't have a car, just use the occasional ZipCar when we need it). For green spaces, we live next to a park. We live on a side street that is very quiet, so no noise pollution issues. Our neighborhood is very residential but is close (a few blocks away) to night life.

I really can't imagine a better setup.
To make them buoyant.

And to do the munchkin voice party trick.

The same could be accomplished with hydrogen gas, but if you get one too close to the birthday candles, they can produce a spectacular fireball that might startle your party guests into soiling themselves.

Human nature being what it is, that and the misattribution of the damages in the Hindenberg disaster to its hydrogen contents is quite enough to convince people to use the inert fossil gas instead of the reactive renewable gas.

Methane and ammonia party balloons haven't caught on, either, probably due to explodiness and stinkiness, respectively.

But I think the standard unit system is one of many reasons engineers rely on formulas for 100% of their calculations. When you have that many conversion factors just to get between energy, force, distance, power, etc., you lose out on the universality of physics. At that point you find someone who has already done all the unit conversions and isolated it in a nice factor out front.

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".

True, true. You could have concluded from my previous comment that I'm not a fan of five-year plans. The market still functions in Europe.

Nevertheless, I hold to the precautionary principle in environmental issues. If such a helium source were never found, we'd be in some trouble. (We've lived for millennia without using helium, so we'll manage, but there are probably several things we can't do at all without it.) Now we know that there are likely more sources, we can relax and maybe leave it to the market.

This is similar to, although not as bad as, how we haven't been able to prevent global warming; there may be a point at which no amount of money or work is going to fix that. Governments may not be much better at preventing things like that, but at least they have a chance.
