Another thing i contemplated was doing the GUI (That is, the OS window manager) in the same fashion.

The rectangle algorithm of redraw-updating windows and widgets is quite a curious beast.

However, it didn't feel right and reminded too much of broken graphics card drivers...
I sort of agree with you, but I think the distinction is that the behaviors of Apple, Google, and Amazon aren't solely intended to lock in their marketshare. And, they all three compete with each other now, though in different ways.

I think what Elizabeth Warren is expressing, and I agree with it, is that these large monied companies control a growing part of our digital lives. We, as users and consumers, are largely powerless to find alternatives because the barriers to entry are so large that it is almost impossible for competitors to arise.

I like Senator Warren quite a bit, but I think we'd be better served if she and other legislators focused her efforts on regulations around privacy, continued work on network neutrality, and making sure that government-funded research is open to all.
Exactly. Scaling a housing business means building more houses, not adding more stories to the one house you're building. And since the marginal cost of software is so low, it naturally tends to a winner-take-all market, which is an interesting counterpoint to the "get small" advice in the OP.
what is your field? Neuroscience?
I have the feeling it is more half-baked than half-assed. I have no doubt they will unite them at one point. I just find surprising they would ship a half finished product like that, particularly given that it wouldn't take very long to an intern to redesign these few forms.
As an Asian male new to the Bay Area, this has been something that I can relate too. At workplace and coffee shops, restaurants and almost any place, I've struggled to answer the question "How're you doing ?". The author summarizes it quite well.
> Landsburg says it's naive environmentalists that are similar to religious fundamentalists (which I fully agree).

Well, I suppose good luck to you both in your quest to sway any reasonable people, if you want to carry on with your ad hominem attacks. The comparison is flat-out inaccurate, and you know it. But worse, it's attempting to escalate the disagreement rather than find common ground.

As far as I can tell, you and Landsburg are both reacting to people acting self-righteously. Yeah, it happens. It happens everywhere in all subject matters and all corners of the earth. Smart people do it, and dumb people do it. Religious people do it, and secular people do it. It's fairly human for someone who is certain they are right to act self-righteously and attempt to demean the opposition with less than pure logic and evidence. I can point out examples of where both you and I have said self-righteous things in this thread. I will refrain from comparing you or me to Islamic fundamentalists, you're welcome, but I'm happy to identify the double-standard you've established for yourself.

Wouldn't it be better to identify as the kind of environmentalist you want to see other people being, and give it a better name, than to exaggerate your way to negativity and hate?

Steven didn't make a clear distinction between naive environmentalists and other kinds, didn't define what "naive" means, and did not qualify every intentionally inflammatory reference to religious environmentalism with the word "naive". Both the title and the very first quote I cited above fail to qualify with "naive", they are talking fairly unambiguously about all environmentalists. The implication was made absolutely and repeatedly clear that he's saying environmentalism is naive, not that there's a slice of environmentalism that is rational and right. It sounds to me like you don't fully agree with what he's saying.

> But you are right that economists are usually the best kind of environmentalists. We need people who can do calm and cold cost-benefit analysis of given policies (environmental or otherwise)

I appreciate the attempt to bridge our gap. I do agree that considering the larger benefits of environmental policy is a good idea. I disagree that economists are the "best" environmentalists - I'm not convinced economics is the best framework for evaluating the benefits of environmental policy.

http://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub/323/

> which most people who identify as "environmentalists" can't seem to do.

Do you want to provide some evidence for this claim? One of the problems with your argument, fueled by Landsburg, is you're providing only random amateurs as evidence against, and limiting to only the ones acting badly. You're happy to provide a line of professionals to support you, but you don't seem to be seeking out the professional contrary position. How about debating the people who've established some of the current recycling policy, rather than worrying about what people in a parade think when they're provoked?
About 2 years ago I created https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamtol.li... and shared it to HN and Reddit. 2 years and 300k+ downloads later it is continuously growing and just had it's largest month yet. It doesn't make enough money to quit my day job or anything but it is a fun project to work on and is something I use on a daily basis anyway. Pretty cool for my first ever Android app.

> Did you find it unsatisfactory?

It does not give descriptions or representations, given congressional districts. It requires a completely disjoint input: postal districts. So unless you recommend a counterpart district-to-ZIP lookup tool, I can't see how it's useful for a description of districts because you still need to know which ZIP codes are within it to do so. Strange that the webapp doesn't use permalinks, or allow unique identifiers of districts as a search variable, no? This makes it largely unuseful for this contextual district-to-(neighborhood-level)map/description requirement.

> As to your weak attempt to make this about class, I'll point out West Virginia's congressional district Google Maps overlay

Well, it was more of a statement about using anecdotal examples which are not representative of congressional office websites. (It could be a statement about class, but this was not my point.) It's obvious the offices are doing these maps themselves because there exists no viable alternative, and it still appears uncommon for the offices to do so. While my remarks may be inflammatory, it is nonetheless evident that your suggestion to direct the users to congressional office websites (or dozens of unaffiliated and state and local websites), as well as a ZIP-to-district tool, would be ineffective in this context.
Nothing surprising, although "rightdoing" sounds like it's straight out of 1984. Of course any administration is going to say all its actions are good. Things are bad, like spying on your citizens or negotiating away their rights, when other countries (who are not your allies and sharing data/trading with you) do it.

I'm not a fan of the Tesla brand/vehicles and I have a number of criticisms for the Model S but I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'crappy.' I think more appropriate phrases would be "not fully refined" and "unpolished."

The cars work, and work well. The important systems are handled properly, if they weren't I'd be complaining about them. Quality control is a hard thing to get right at scale, I think the company deserves a little respect for handling the critical systems well.
I hate to break it to you, but it is entirely fiction. There is no Lake Wobegone. St. Paul is not a little town either. Sorry to further shatter your suspension of disbelief.
If you ask on /r/keybase you should get an invite pretty quickly, or check to see if there are any people offering invites. Currently I see at least 39 available.
I suspect it has been around quite a while in evolutionary terms, and isn't just in humans. All animals need to be careful that they don't overheat, go without water, break a bone, etc. (However if another animal is chasing you, it makes sense to turn off the inhibiting signal). The brain regions involved are common to many animals AFAIK.
Here are a couple Ben Goldacre articles on neuroscience in general:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/sep/09/bad-sc...

For fMRI research specifically, I seem to remember that almost all of the analysis software is closed source, and that comparing the readings between software versions isn't actually meaningful even though a lot of papers do so.
They are but 3dClustSim (the culprit) is essentially used only for fMRI.
I still give Tesla a thumb up at trying. Others have had many generations to fine-tune their cars. This is only their first generation cars.
I agree with your first 2 sentences, which Modern Pascal is just as capable, if not more, than Java. Lazarus is an example of such complex project, it has near 5 MLoC (without external dependencies) according to openhub and is managed just fine, thanks to the compiler's smart dependency management.

Modern Pascal is a very good language of choice when you have tight budget but still want to compete with enterprise Java systems. The low resource requirement is one prominent factor while the performance is similar if not better in real world applications. We have one of our apps (web application with embedded web server, proxified by nginx) running constant 100MB RAM only at peak, single process, while serving tens of thousands of users, backed only by a single SQLite database. Even the 100MB is mostly due to our template engine automatic caching system.

Java will win in microbenchmarks, but that's the best HotSpot JVM can do. Tight loops and complex calculations are actually seldom happened in enterprise apps, while context switching happens a lot more often as (a lot of) users move from one context to another frequently.
I would think that intuitively the simplicity of a language is defined by the simplicity of the rules necessary to produce it.

To non-AAVE speakers AAVE has the appearance of simplicity because its productions "look like" simplified English. This is actually what Pullum debunks in the article: the rules to produce "simplifications" like dropped consonants and auxiliaries are actually complex (i.e. it's not at all arbitrary as you would expect if it had less rules).

But even if we put all that aside and assume you (and the racists you're being lumped in together with based on that assertion) were right. How exactly is "simpler" worse? Is Finnish superior because it has fifteen noun cases?

This is basically the line of thinking that resulted in generations of English students being tortured by self-styled (prescriptivist) "linguists" who were convinced that English is only "correct" when you try to pretend it is actually Latin (giving us nonsensical rules like "don't split infinitives" and "no dangling prepositions" -- although they are entirely based on limitations of Latin).

That amounts to trolling. Please don't do that here.

Substantive criticism is fine, offhand flamebait isn't.

Edit: looks like I misunderstood the comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12032290, so will detach this subthread and mark it off-topic instead. Sorry!
I've worked a couple of years with C# and, indeed, my love for "I" prefixed interfaces comes from there! In fact, Allman [0] is also my favorite indent style, but I've done much more Java than C# in my life, and I'm now used to the "{" at the end of the line.

That said, I don't really care that much about "Java standards". I like Java as a language (it's cross platform, solid, typed) and I use it the way I think it's best. For example, Spincast doesn't use the Servlet API at all.

Before starting Spincast, I've tried pretty much all those modern frameworks. Maybe I should have kept notes about what I didn't like about each of them, but I finally decided to start a new one. I would have loved to find a framework that would have met most of my preferences, and with an existing community, but I didn't. Maybe the closest one I found was Pippo [1]. I don't really like Spring (even if I'm a certified Spring developer) neither, even Spring boot.

What makes Spincast different, in my opinion? I guess one have to play with it a bit to really see how it works, how it feels... But the most obvious thing is that it's based on Guice from the ground up. Guice it the only strong dependency Spincast core has (except for SLF4J).

Maybe the section about Spincast Integration Testing [2] is a good read to have a feel on how Spincast works, and how Guice is used everywhere.

Anyway, thanks... There are now comments about Spincast on HN, wouhou! ;-)

fMRI papers tend to be written by neuro-psychologists or similar folks. Not engineers, statisticians, or physicists. They get reviewed by them too.
When compared to the cost of actual people you need on the other end to pick up the phone that scales at pretty much the same speed, yes, it's still essentially free.
I love Warren but I hope she and others in power make wise distinctions about what's important and where technological monopolies can be reined in by technology and where the market needs help. Subscription music services with interchangeable catalogs are the least of my worries about the direction of technology. Likewise e-books aren't really a market that needed immediate intervention when Apple and the publishers tried to work around Amazon's abuse of their position.

Monopolies at the ISP level where literally no competition exists is a major problem. Near permanent copyright monopolies granting extraordinary power for a century or more is a major problem. Patent trolls are a huge problem.

Privacy and fairness are major problems. Buggy OS upgrades, popular search engines, and built in music programs are not.
I'm working on a project now that's all single 20-somethings. On the one hand, they are very smart, very aggressive and put a lot of time in on weekends.

On the other hand, I'm crafty, and experienced. Also, I think kids that age do respect the idea of a family life -- I just had a chat this morning and said "have to go, family event" -- it's okay.

While some 20 somethings are workaholics, a lot of them are not, they get their work life balance in at other times in other ways, more periodically. I don't think there needs to be a worry about stigma. Different strokes, and good communication are the most important.

FWIW, it can be a bit more complicated than that. I spent my 20s working 60 hour weeks to (mostly) make someone else rich, but doing that helped to get me to a better place by my 30s. Having graduated from school immediately after the dot compost, I'm not sure I would have been able to start out in a good tech job from the get-go.

What worries me more is when I see colleagues who have children and are _still_ doing the chronic overtime thing. Missing out on getting drunk in the evenings just to make someone else rich is lame. Missing out on the early years of your kid's life just to make someone else rich is a tragedy.

"Medicare doesn't cover most dental care, dental procedures, or supplies, like cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, dentures, dental plates, or other dental devices. Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) will pay for certain dental services that you get when you're in a hospital"

Also, they won't cover glasses.

https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/eyeglasses-contact-lenses....

Brutal. A good reason to keep working though. Those two items are pretty glaring omissions from Medicare, and relevant for most people, but especially so for otherwise healthy seniors. Having glasses that work and functional teeth is the difference between an active, healthy life and being a shut-in.
It's not that the research is 100% wrong, but the way the research is reported in the news is generally wrong. No, researchers can't really tell if you're thinking about a sailboat from looking at an fMRI, despite whatever the newspaper says.

3 years ago I did a Show HN [1] for http://asoftmurmur.com - it got 3 points, 0 comments

2.5 years ago I posted it again with some more features [2], got 190 points and 80 comments, and some positive feedback. Was encouraged to keep up development.

Since then:

* > 5 million sessions

* A native Android version written in Java with > 100k installs

* Native iOS version in the works

* I now work full time as a software developer

It's a small, simple application - almost a toy - and there are now lots of similar services, but it has genuinely changed my life.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Evernote
Hello HN,

Am a lurker here, and was wondering what people use other than Evernote. I've been using evernote since early 2013 but with the upcoming change to a 2 device limit I am interested in making a switch, seeing as I currently use Evernote on about 8 different devices. Any others planning to change services because of this?
Excellent! I always think that people, like myself, that work with somewhat abstract and/or complex concepts need to improve our ability to explain them. Really happy to see a concrete method to do this.
You could put this in a positive light: there is so much demand for their product they can't make enough.
All of those things being "better" include an implicit "...in the context which these best practices were studied" which usually means large teams of just-OK programmers writing Java code that mostly doesn't need to perform very well but will be changed a lot, and needs to be very consistent in style and pattern so that when an intern comes in and pokes it as his first commit he can't do any serious damage.

You can imagine a million ways those assumptions break down, as well as a million ways they seem to but should actually be stuck to. Knowing the difference is the tough part.

Found a small agency that is oriented towards remote and flexible work. Offered to join w/ the expectation of 15/week. Started as a contractor for them, then switched to hourly employee once it was clear we were a good fit.

At my prior job, I was offered full time. I responded by proposing 35/wk, with a proportional salary reduction. At the next compensation/review meeting, I successfully asked to reduce to 32/wk (same pay).
In january I've launched Project Log (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10963097 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mpscholten.tim...), a simple material-designed timesheet app for android.

Quickly after launch, I discovered that many people could not install the app because they were running an older android version. Since then I've improved support for older android devices, added several smaller features and did some smaller UI improvements. I've also built a small website (http://timesheetapp.xyz/), so you can find the app when looking for "timesheet app" at google.

The app is currently downloaded at ~100 devices, but not really growing. However the existing users are all very happy with the app. I'm very happy with it aswell as it's solving the problem I have very well (built it primary to solve my own problem of time tracking).

If you have any idea on how to better promote the app, let me know :)

That is the problem that should be solved. Everyone should be interested in crypto. You're just spouting arrogance and irrelevant information.
There's a fair bit of junky data and quite a few analysis methods that cannot compare data accurately between magnets, position wrt isocentre, or even processing software revisions. But your claim is a lot bolder than that.
Honestly, the bottom line of that article is: Have content and social media.

If you're really trying to get some organic traffic, you'll definitely want to look into

Google Search Console: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

and Google Analytics: https://www.google.com/analytics/

Get a free account on both, set up YOAST (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) on your WordPress* and see if the generated sitemap.xml (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps) is working and contains all of your pages. Then submit it via Google Search Console and wait patiently.
The Search Console will then spam you (ehem, send useful information) with all sorts of things to make your site better.

As we all know, Google loves structured data, so adding some markup from http://schema.org/ won't hurt either. Again, the Search Console will give you hints on how to do that.

Finally, you can always get a Google Business Profile at https://www.google.com/business/

All that will help you rank better (not really faster) on Google, but in the end, the answer really is: Have Content, Content, Content ... and Social Media ;-)

* If you're not using WordPress, there are other ways to generate a sitemap.xml for your site. If you're brave, you can even write it by hand.
lol nothing like that
> If the claim is that muscles don't fatigue, then I am skeptical.

No, the article isn't claiming that at all. It is saying there is an extra system in the brain which generates the sensation of fatigue. This usually happens before the muscles reach their limit (and this has been demonstrated).

As others have noted, it may not have been your muscles. Why would your muscles suddenly go from 60% strength to 2%? I suspect either it was central fatigue (which can also manifest as muscle weakness), or perhaps your form was wrong on the last lap.
Curious about the first one -- was there some kind of conflict of interest? As far as I can tell all you were doing was taking public information already available on the page and disclosing it with a much more visible banner. Was your employer heavily involved in Native Advertising campaigns or something?
