Large community. With recent updates its fast and has modern features. A lot of PHP developers out there so hiring is not an issue (you just need to filter out the bad ones - and there's a lot of those too).

If your project is primarily web based its a really good choice.

At the end of the day though PHP is just a tool and what matters is how you use it and what's the outcome. If you are familiar with it then why not use it?

I personally feel like the biggest shortcoming of PHP is its legacy and the huge amount of bad code that you can find by searching on Google.

Yeah. When you are "friends" with your grandmother, boss, Mary from elementary school and your ex's mother you won't share that much. And those who will share anything in that kind of environment are the people you don't want to hear from ...

Yes, you can group your friends and just share with some of them, but who has time for that?

I'm even hesitant to write anything in semi-open groups as I'm not sure if what I write will show up on my friends wall. It's not like what I'm writing is extreme or private, I just don't need it to be actively shared with all my "friends.

This is called a PLP (Private Liquidity Plan). The comments here are kind of vaguely negative but it's actually not a bad deal for employees. The main problem is that most pre-IPO companies can't afford it. It uses up capital that would otherwise go into operations.[1]

Where it may make sense is in so-called "private IPOs", i.e. those 9 or 10 digit dollar rounds. There's enough money there to hand out. In olden days, companies would have been public by then and employees would have had liquidity. Planatir raised $880M last year so, yeah, they can afford it.[2]

Todo: write a thing that makes Goa from a RailsAPI server. The goal is to have it be able to generate the same exact RailsAPI code. The usefulness is that a different team not as comfortable with Rails could use the generated Goa code to generate the same RailsAPI server in the language they're comfortable working with, make their contributions, and have that generate new Goa, which the first team would use to generate the updated RailsAPI code.

Kind of a Rosetta Stone for APIs, but only useful if it works both ways, picks up every small change in exacting detail, and works server ->spec ->same server. Not sure if that's even possible, but it'd be cool.

> The first version of the protocol is based on experiences we gained while integrating OmniSharp and the TypeScript Server into VS Code.

Omnisharp is an amazing project which is helping making the dotnet ecosystem a pleasant to use across your platform or IDE of choice.Their work on the extensions for Atom,VIM,Brackets, VS code etc for csharp is amazing. https://github.com/OmniSharp

With this protocol being open and support from Redhat , eclipse and many SDKs already available, it would be quite easy to extend this to add support for any languages to any IDE.

As to on topic discussion - wouldn't you only need to take out the comms? Then the fellow subs wouldn't know anything was amiss.

Taking down several redundant, military grade links doesn't sound easy, but finding every sub in the ocean seems much harder.

Maybe there is a watchdog / normal coded communication/expected updates, so it would have to be more of a MITM thing. Even in the worst case, it would leave a limited window of time to act. Not to mention the submarine would likely be forced to try and hail "ground control" which would make DF + geo much easier...

I don't care to nit pick but it's not quite that simple. The AMT credit you receive at exercise can in theory be used to offset the tax due at sale, but you can only claim amt credit if your traditional tax liability is higher than your amt liability that year. While that may be true if you sell a lot of stock it's not a lock esp in California where a working married couple with a home can have a lot of high dollar deductions. In that case you keep the credits until you can use them.

It's easy to write apps in C language to support both android and ios platform if using libphone. Write once, target both.
There is a similar project xamarin but it use C# and it is IDE, libphone is just a library though with also some tools for platform resources generating and layout.
That's a bit of an illusion though. In theory miners have a choice, but until there is an alternative with some kind of authority and following, then they are in danger of losing money by not using the new version of the de facto client which most will use unless the devs go as far as to hardcore the transfer of all funds to their own address.

Since miners are in for the money, usually they don't care about anything else as we see from other cryptocurrencies.

Also, don't mistake consensus of miners to consensus of users of the network, which is the biggest problem with most cryptocurrencies (BTS did well on that part).

Made this roughly a year ago (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9652913).

Originally I let the neural net output a charcode array (either 4 or 8 bits, depending on if the output was a number or a character) which could then be converted into the corresponding character. In short, this improved performance and decreased accuracy. I ended up switching back to standard mapping (index of maximum probability is the best guess), which requires an output layer the same size as the amount of characters one wants to recognize.

Posted it here again because the demand for this kind of tool still seems to be quite high and there is no FOSS alternative that I know of.

Does someone know how to boot Linux on a Windows 10 machine ?

Its proven extremely hard to boot Elementary OS on my X1 Carbon.

I tried turning off fast boot and a whole set of options - even changed boot partition from Linux on a USB but when I do it windows still loads and says something like 'boot partition corrupted.. fixing problem'

I gave up after a while and just accepted my fate.
so this is a GUI library for iOS/Android?
wow, you really have it in for gaming on Linux. Steam has absolutely made Linux a 'viable' gaming OS if it wasn't already. SteamOS is doing great things too.

There are no semantic problems with this, but typing will get in the way: you can express it fairly easily if all the functions have the same type (such as Int -> Int): actually it's just 'foldr ($)'. But it is difficult to type a list of functions such as each member's return value has the same type as the next one's parameter (symbolically, [an-1 -> an, ..., a1 -> a2, a0 -> a1]). It's easier to refer to the composition of such functions, which is why you would see it as 'h . g . f'.
> So you're not supposed to tell people where errors occur in Scala?

You're supposed to use the types `Option` and `Either` or if you're into scalaz then \/ (http://eed3si9n.com/learning-scalaz/Either.html) and Validation (http://eed3si9n.com/learning-scalaz/Validation.html). Throwing exceptions is a childish way to handle errors in FP.

Komplett.no, which aims to become the Amazon of Norway (the real Amazon doesn't care about Norway), has a really cool automated warehouse (AutoStore) which seems even more advanced than Amazons:

http://www.tu.no/artikler/unik-video-bli-med-inn-i-kompletts...

The packages still need to be packaged by hand though, but it seems like it would be easier to automate that for the AutoStore system since each product has its own box as opposed to Amazons Kiva system where multiple products are placed on the same shelf.
These funds live for a decade. The most recent funds are almost a decade away from the moment of truth.

To the parenthetical question: You invest something in a few of these funds, and a decade or so later you learn whether you own 1% of Google, or whether all of your VC funds picked the likes of Excite. People invest because Google does exist.

Which reminds me of a classic ah-investment strategy. Say you have €1m of white money and €10m of black money. Invest in 11 high-risk ventures (coffee or tomato futures, say). Later (when the new harvest is in) when you see which one won, go back and fiddle your paperwork so the white money paid for the winner and the black money paid for all the losers. I've heard about this done with volatile foodstuffs, but never startups. Perhaps ten-year funds simply are too slow? Comments, anyone?

And this is horrible for the market.

A company gaining a huge advantage by getting a total monopoly over another market, which they can enforce due to having patents.

That’s not what patents were supposed to create, and what Antitrust regulations were supposed to prevent.

If this is the future, it’s quite a dystopia: Monopolies everywhere.

Sure, I get that the Silicon Valley business model is to destroy regulation, get a monopoly (ideally in a new market niche, but destroying existing competition with illegal predatory pricing is also common), and then to abuse the monopoly, but is no one thinking that for the average consumer a free, competitive market might be better?
I would mostly agree, but given my latest attempt at getting PHP based media server (Spotify clones) working, I wouldn't say that "it just works". Even with the documentation fairly good for all three solutions I tried, I managed to get non of them working.

Wordpress is an example of a PHP application that just works and deploys easily, but it also not using a lot of libraries. My take, and it may very well be wrong, is that the ecosystem is a nightmare in terms of deploying application. There's everything you could ever want though.

Of cause my experience may be down to the applications I tried to deploy.

Is this a new meme on hacker news now?..
In a nutshell, Belgium's data protection regulator took Facebook to court a year ago, accusing it of trampling on EU privacy law by tracking people without a Facebook account without their consent.It concerns the datr tracking cookie.

The belgian Court had dismissed The Belgian Privacy Commission case on the grounds that the regulator has no jurisdiction over Facebook Inc, which has its European headquarters in Ireland.

Facebook will bring all their services back online for, quoting facebook, "people in Belgium".

I personally this rulling disturbing. And apparently, it is not first decision within Europe countries to go into that direction. It is even more disturbing because it concerns tracking of people who don't have any facebook account (so no Terms of Services acceptance, ...).

I have nothing against gaming on Linux, I have (well had it's the VR box now) a SteamOS machine since the first public OS beta release and quite a strong one (my old gaming rig 3770K & dual 780ti's, updated to 980ti for the HTC Vive).

None of the games I play are available on Linux, none of the new AAA titles are available on Linux.
With Valve not fully supporting SteamVR on Linux currently through the HTC Vive that's not even an option either.

But the difference is that I don't have some bias and will not attempt to fool anyone by portraying that they can use Linux or SteamOS as a gaming setup, not unless they only play the few 1st party Valve games, bargain bin AAA titles and Indies because beyond that it's very slim pickens.

Imagine if you took something like this to the desert, you could have the means to convert sand into silicon without needing to use a locally-sourced fuel to generate the required heat (For what it's worth, I realise the sand that goes into silicon wafer production usually has to be purer than commonly-found sand, but I still think this production method may prove useful, perhaps for the silicon that goes into solar panels).

You are correct. In fact, you can get really strong training once a week. Fact is, this guy's training methods are basically kind of appoaching an optimization for bulking (building the most muscle mass possible) combined with laziness (only training once a week).

The big criticisms of this kind of training would be:

1.) athleticism (he recommends machines, but free weights and calisthenics--replacing lat pulls with pull ups, muscle ups, etc is much better for athleticism)

2.) strength (he recommends machines, no momentum in movements, long recovery periods... this is basically how bodybuilders train to build the most muscle, but power lifters and athletes will optimize for maximum power, which includes momentum in their movements, and more endurance in their muscles)

3.) cardio/weight loss (you will burn more calories and build better cardio with higher volume, repitions)

4.) Injury (machines, low reps, high weights, all increase risk of injury)
I'm pretty sure that would be mechanically impossible - the brain is very plastic, but touch-into-sight seems a little far for adult learning.

I can't tell if you are being serious or not, but there is no mystery and this should not be confusing to you.

Baltimore was far from the first "ethnic" riot[1] in this country and none of them have ever caused a lasting change in police behavior. If anything, they just reinforced the notion among police that militarization of police is necessary. And I stick by this track record for my analysis of the situation.

Now, there is some very recent activity to support your analysis. Namely, Baltimore has released a new "use of force policy" in reaction to the Baltimore riots.[2]

I am not immediately conceding here, because it is common for local governments to make token "changes" to placate the agitated after flareups, mostly to save their next election. Furthermore, as the article points out, this change has no teeth, meaning there is no external oversight, so these are all more "recommendations" than anything else. The attorney for the ACLU expresses the same skepticism that I have regarding the recommendations.

So will Baltimore be the first to cause lasting change in local police behavior? It remains to be seen, but if it does, it will be the first. Showing that historically, riots do nothing for long-term change.

The solution to the anxiety in itself is to watch less of the news. You may feel you will become a hermit and be the uninformed one among your peers but that isn't true.
Next time you read the news, ask yourself "will this make me more anxious or build my faith?" "was this so valuable that I couldn't have gone without it for a day?"
Yep, it really depends. If you get something old and made of wood, you're probably signing up for a lot of maintenance or a heap. There are plenty of heaps at marinas if you go look. The alternative is to get a boat guy, which is also expensive. The other other alternative is to join a sailing club which collectively maintains the vessels. There are plenty in the Bay Area if you look :)
