> By your thoughts, all software should have been updated in a few days to be bug free.

Anyone who has used this app knows it is extremely crashy. It's not supposed to be bug-free, but releasing an app this crashy is fairly sloppy.
This part seems a little bit ironic "Though she would have preferred to keep her private information private".

Is that not why she's come into the public eye? For releasing private information that some people would have preferred to keep private?

This isn't a comment on whether her leak was the right thing to do or not, just the whole "Treat others like you want others to treat you".
It sounds like some of these researchers need their own ego depleted, for the sake of science. Critical, well-intentioned analyses of a study by other groups should be a welcome thing, as it will lead to more robust results. It seems like the incentives have gotten way out of whack.

There's a difference between bug-free and tolerable.
They can write anything they want. It rarely will cost you the job if you object. They just hope you just accept it without question.

I encountered this once so far. I told them I would agree but it would cost $50k to reserve my talent for that (6 months in my case) time. Payable up front at signing. The HR guy laughed, crossed it out, initialed it and said "yeah, sorry about that..." And that was the end of it.

Climate Change May Already Be Shifting Clouds Toward the Poles
Which given that land is limited (you can only go so far out before you are in another place) then the price of the building will increase. It is possible to end up in a situation where even very wealthy workers cannot afford to rent within hours of a city. Sydney, Melbourne, London and Vancouver are examples where this is starting to happen.

it has not happened yet but it is certainly pricing many out at lower ends of the income scale.

The poster uses the word traffic a lot but doesn't explain enough why he thinks it's tragic.
I added PoC racer support in the plugin one evening, but got bored and did not pursue it further. It's just calling racer and parsing the output.

The built-in completion is a bit rudimentary at the moment.
This is a bloody clever idea. I am off to the patent office right now :P

Dammit.

The two cases are hardly comparable.
Microsoft should buy out Nintendo, make its games and franchises available for Xbox & PC, and sell the specialty Nintendo hardware like the WiiMote or that TabletController as accessories. It could also roll Kinect under the Nintendo add-on brand.
It would be, but cycle perfect emulation is very difficult and costly. Higan (formerly Bsnes) manages it with Snes emulation and it requires a cpu with a rate over 3GHz. I remember reading the N64 would require a 10GHz cpu to emulate with 100% archival accuracy.

long story short, it is the real solution, but its not a practical one by any means.

It's more that this thread is full of people mad that 2 million Indians are going to be competing with them for jobs at lower prices than they are willing to do. The result is people making thinly-disguised racist comments about how terrible this is.

And this is why I went from Windows Phone 8 to Android. The Microsoft experience on Android is arguably better than on their own OS.
IntelliJ has great Vim support, and the community edition is free. I've used IntelliJ for Scala for 4 months, which has been excellent, but never found any need for the paid features, so I'd say go ahead and download it today.
I seriously loled at this. That would not have been a graceful solution to say the least.
This isn't about hacking cdroms just to get it to run on the system. It is about understanding the intricate details of how it worked so that when the cdrom drive itself died you would have a way of playing those games along with full cd bloc emulation
If you want to really blow your mind with regards to time, look at QED. I highly recommend the Feynman lectures.

The net result of quantum interference is that light tends to move at the speed of light, particles tend to move forward through time, but only because everything else mostly cancels itself out.

(The rest of this is slightly rambling, but so was the article so it's hard to comment without matching it, so dusting off my very rusted physics degree...)

With Multiple-Worlds, I think the delayed-choice experiments more show that each universal snapshot is inherently self-consistent, rather than retro-casual. Any non-consistent snapshot is just canceled out. Meaning, there was probably a universe in which the 2-slit delayed-choice experiment didn't show interference, but it didn't survive past the delayed choice boundary. Now, the really big question (to which people keep arguing no, but I have doubts) is can you establish faster-than-light communication using a delayed-choice style effect by essentially canceling out any casualty that doesn't agree with your communication.

My personal favorite for explaining the directionality of time is looking at the boundary conditions. If you assume that at time T0 around the big bang, the universe looked like X, then it requires that particles move away from it in spacetime (otherwise it wouldn't look like X anymore). Thus, there is probably an antimatter version going the other direction in time away from us. Away from the boundary, entropy-like effects would prevent the odd positron coming back in time at just the right moment to produce a non-local causality violation.
If Finland is like Norway, and I understand the system correctly (I'm an immigrant) that isn't much of an issue. Culture here allows for free time for kids (not much homework), and so long as folks can pass the admission tests and there is space, they can go. The biggest issue might be living expenses - but there is a (too low) stipend and loans. The loans can be grants if you don't have money or can be forgiven in some fields if you move and work up north for a certain amount of time.
Thanks for this. Once again wasting time on HN pays off.

The solution is very simple. If when you're starting out you don't understand that the 'details' table should be your primary table instead of the 'header' table, then there's a simple trick you can pull... For any inner/left join you create, try altering the query to use a right join and check you don't return more results. That way you can be sure you're targeting the appropriate table.

I'd also recommend using LEFT JOIN over INNER JOIN when starting out exploring data, as the rows with null values can be a useful prompt to check your query logic.

Also, as another SQL tip... always use table aliases. Not only do table aliases make it clear which table you're pulling from, they also help you fill in the right fields if you're using a decent editor that has IntelliSense or something similar.

There's very little reason not to use table aliases, especially if your query is pulling from more than one table.

So the query becomes...

SELECT r., i.
FROM restaurants r
LEFT JOIN inspections i ON r.name = i.restaurant_name

...and when checking results, just swap LEFT for RIGHT...

SELECT r., i.
FROM restaurants r
RIGHT JOIN inspections i ON r.name = i.restaurant_name

This last step is unnecessary when you know to target the 'detail' table in the FROM clause.

EDIT: The HN comment system is removing the asterisks after r. and i. . Would just need to add those back in for the queries to work.

> Is that not why she's come into the public eye?

Yeah, for releasing someones health info. Do yourself a favor and do a little research before commenting on a public forum.
"What can CAP do for you?
First let's agree….. worst name ever. Now that we're past that, here's our story, and an ask."

MS, you're competing with a product called "IFTTT". Don't think so lowly of yourself!
If all you want is a counter to loop through something a given number of times, you could do something like this:

defmodule Counter do
def loop(num) do
Enum.each(0..num, fn (i) -> IO.puts(i) end)
end
end

If you really want to write your own recursive function (Enum already does that for you, but it's always good to try different ways, so you can learn the language better), you could do something like this:

defmodule Counter do
def loop(num), do: _loop(0, num)
defp _loop(idx, num) when idx == num, do: IO.puts idx
defp _loop(idx, num) do
IO.puts idx
_loop(idx + 1, num)
end
end

The thing that is nice about Elixir is that it does tail-optimization on its recursive functions, as long as the recursive call is the very last thing in the function. This means you won't have 10 copies of the _loop function in memory waiting to unwind.
Ask yourself what value to society do Chelsea create with her leak?

Then ask, what value does broadcasting her health status everywhere provide society?

Hopefully this will help inform you of the differences in these separate acts, since it seems to have blown right by you at light speed.
And to think, the Android guys originally wanted to use C# as the native Android language, but were worried about being sued by MS for it.

Instead they went with Java and got sued by Oracle for it, whereas MS open sourced it all.

I hope they release an android/NDS hybrid with a game slot. Its possible because we have sonic games on Nintendo consoles. :)
Not arguing with the bugginess or not bugginess.

But arguing with "just log it and fix it" is like saying to a plumber "just find the leak and fix it".

It's insulting to both the developer and the plumber.
I couldn't agree with this anymore. I'm personally getting tired of reading all the armchair critics on HN bashing the game itself. Here are articles popping up saying in under a week it has more installs than Tinder and is about to surpass Twitter in daily active users. Twitter has had 10 years to learn how to handle this much traffic, the Pokemon Go developers haven't even had 10 days.

Look, it's a new app. There's going to be issues with it. There's going to be missing features that everybody wants. Does that mean they did a shitty job? No, not at all. I get that releasing a buggy app is far from ideal, but does anyone here actually know what they're going through? What constraints they had? What their budget was? No, no we don't. So who are we to sit here on a form and put down something that our fellow developers have built? To talk about how much better we would have done it?

I don't have the game yet, but my wife does, and it's been a ton of fun. We walked around our quiet little neighbourhood the other night. We both honestly figured we'd be the only people playing. Then we saw a mother and her son sitting on a bench at a corner defending their gym. Not 50 meters down the road an elderly couple, easily in their 70's asked us what team we were on, and playfully gave us crap since we were yellow and they were blue! In the end, we walked around for an hour and saw at least 20 different people or groups playing. Everyone with smiles on their faces. Everyone being friendly, outgoing, and talking to strangers. How can you consider this game anything but a huge success?
I never understood the argument either, but I am no physicist. Start with the table racked (e.g. order) and break. One can easily discern the direction of time as the table goes from order to disorder.
If we're talking about a local, recent, actual (i.e. not a custody dispute) kidnapping then sure stop all the white dudes driving a blue Escort. It's clearly against the Constitution and common sense, but concerned citizens have feelings, so fuck that shit. For the sake of argument, we've stipulated that driving a blue Escort in particular very rare circumstances constitutes violence.

Now back in actual everyday reality, can we also agree that 99.8% of the cases in which dudes are stopped and their trunks searched do not constitute violence? I mean, other than on the part of the State...

Tell me some more about what I think!
It is petty. If you've worked somewhere for ten years, you've already made 10 times what the new hires will have made in their first year. So for your ten years of contributions, you have ten years of back-pay that the new hires don't have a dime of.

> Have you written software? That is the most simplistic advice in the world.
I think the above poster was using hyperbolic language to make their point. Niantic was founded by engineers from Google. It seems a bit ridiculous that with all the expertise and funding they have, they couldn't even provide a stable backend architecture. It's not that difficult to scale an api using Google's app engine or aws.

>No caching? How would you cache game state when at any time the board state can change without warning, due to the actions of another player? And cached game state would invalidate your game actions, which would cause inconsistencies.
The app could at least cache some of the info of your pokemon as well as the locations of nearby stops and gyms. Then only the status of those gyms and nearby pokemon would need to be synchronized when you reopen it.
I'm not a rust programmer but I installed the tools and the plugin to Intelij (latest version) and when I typed the x. auto completion was not shown.
Start with their choice to use Unity. It's a nightmare for its memory consumption and wasted CPU cycles. It is utterly unsuitable for an app that is concerned with battery life.

I say this as an individual who has made something of a career out of fixing/polishing mobile Unity apps from utterly unshippable garbage to decent products. More than a few have called for significant native code accessed via the FFI, because Unity just can't cut it.

I would recommend not using Unity at all, but that would mean losing out on the cheap labour pouring out of the dime-a-dozen game development schools.
Not that the comment you answered wasn't facile, but:

- buggy unreliable code is inevitable, but it shouldn't bring down the whole app. It isn't often that I see mobile apps crash to OS. There should be a finite number of things that can cause it.

- The are well know strategies to cache data that may change over time, this is true for all caches, if it can't change over time it isn't even really a cache, its just a static asset.
They could cache the images of frequent, nearby poke stops and gyms, which likely a huge portion of the data for any sync.
Back when I lived in WA, Arco was the "cheap gas" because they used the winter 10% ethanol blend (== less power and less fuel economy) year-round, whereas 'good' gas stations switched to ethanol-free in the summer.

Now that I live in CA, everyone does 10% ethanol anyway. More and more it's hard to find non-ethanol gas anywhere.

Supposedly the top tier brands use 'better' detergents, but I'd say the differences in brands are smaller than ever.

I attempted to make a couple of tasks, so far it's very limited, but kudos to getting the framework going.
Why Rust? Why now?
undefined typically means it has yet to be defined whereas null means it does not have a proper value set. For example I use null where there is an exception an cannot set a variable to a sane value.

When I see null it means a value could not be set or that it was intentionally unset. undefined means it was never set in the first place.
The onboarding is surprisingly bad, so bad, I wonder if it was intentional. It sort of forces you to get social to compare notes on how to make things work. Most of what I've learned so far has come from either trial & error or from social sources (in meatspace and cyberspace).
Like I said, "popsci, not so much". It's pretty implicit when physicists talk about it with each other -- they understand how to keep it separate, but they won't caveat everything they say. This means that they may keep it implicit when talking in interviews, too. And popular science reporting just loves to say things like "the universe is a hologram!!!" so they are happy to spin it that way.

It's not like this lack of context-sensitive speech is specific to physicists either. Programmers do it all the time too.
You are entirely overlooking the question of whether the public should have the right to know the private information, which was what drove Manning's motivations.

"Information that some people would have preferred to keep private" is a general statement that could be applied to anything from a teenage girl's diary to an impending nuclear attack. To handwave that away is to make the entire matter meaningless.
It's effectively a way to meet other people and explore new places. Being pokemon themed gives people something to bond over and connect with each other.

Items like the 'attractor' that brings pokemon to an area for everyone attracts people as well as pokemon.

I hope there are more ways to be social with it in the future, because that's it's strength.

UI request

Can you make the "flag | hide | past | web ..." buttons have consistent spacing from the left margin? I'd like to keep my mouse in the same position while I filter through the articles on /newest, rather than hunt and click as the "hide" button moves back and forth based on the username/etc length.
> First let's agree….. worst name ever.

Why would they choose a name that they think is so bad?
Right. Speculative fiction is just that: speculation. It is useful as speculation.
Something I'd add is that many people who actually play (buy) the real Pokemon games realize the state of this game as well. Most of my friends who play Go are people who know Pokemon from the 90s, not people who have contributed to the franchise economically for the past 20 years.

Also, I don't think people are as invested in Pokemon Go as the numbers seem to suggest. It's something fun for a few days, but because of how legitimately boring the game is, normal people won't be able to keep playing once their friends stop posting about it.

Hey, not a problem.

1) The fundamental question is, why do you think there is a market for non-free bootstrap ui kits ?

When I search for "bootstrap ui kit", I get links to many free kits & see no advertisements related to ui kits (no one selling them).

So why do you think there is a market for premium bootstrap UI kits ?

2) I don't mind having a quick chat with you on slack or skype to go over the site as a user. I'm not a UI expert but you will atleast get a third person review.

Not silly at all!

(1) It's a good question. I think small benchmarks will likely be much slower in Mu since Python probably has optimized primitives for the common things whereas Mu is still (naïvely) interpreted. On larger apps I think the gap might come down, since Python will start relying more on unoptimized primitives. But I should probably measure at some point..

(2) Lol. I actually modeled Mu's on JVM to some extent, so it's intended to be a better replacement of that layer of the stack, something that compiles down to native rather than relying on a bytecode interpreter, and also something that is designed with higher-order functional programming in mind, as well as generics out of the box (so no type erasure and so on).
Sure, I have the bad habit of never deleting or editing a post no matter how much negative karma it gets. Probably for the best you shifted it.

I'm always a little miffed when I see natural language being the input, because now in order to use the tech I need to also play the "guess the verb" games.

This is especially bad in Wolfram Alpha.... I can clearly see that all parts of a query are supported but I have to get the NLP part to parse my sentences right. Though there is Mathematica I guess....

Not that I dislike all natural language stuff (far from it) but I'd love to have access to an AST builder too

Of course most Americans are paying for their health insurance - just indirectly. This is actually a very smart system designed to keep people in the dark about how much things cost.

If people had to pay $2500/month for a family of 4 or $80 for a single aspirin in a hospital, they would go ballistic on day one. Also - health premiums go up 10-15% EVERY YEAR.
