Until relativity and the standard model can be merged and we can figure out a cause and effect between gravity and other fundamental forces and figure out who to trigger gravity with an electrical switch for example gravity manipulation is not going to happen for quite some time. We'll probably just take the risk and go to Mars and suffer the health consequences.

I'm running http://lickcreator.com which is a web based music notation software. Still in Beta, so no revenue.

Been at it for six months now, kinda slow, but I had some new stuff to learn like SVG and Web Audio API. Experimented a lot with AngularJS and React. Went back to Backbone.js and lost some time there. But good experience.

My hopes are high for this product.
It might even affect assembly, if your CPU's microcode optimizations are sufficiently aggressive.
You can't say that the Schrodinger equation hasn't been experimentally verified. The problem is that we can only practically test it on microscopic objects, which means that people can introduce ad hoc mechanisms like waveform collapse to say it doesn't apply for macroscopic objects.

That's a very odd way of going about things. We can't actually observe galaxies over long enough timescales to be sure that gravity applies to them but their appearance is consistent with the existence of gravity so we don't even both to consider the possibility that there might be some separate force causing them to look that way.

Weechat, the terminal based client, also supports a protocol like this. There aren't really any nice graphical clients for it, but there is a mobile one which is very usable, and there's an HTML5-y one, but I haven't tried that.

If you like irssi, but wish you had a better way to use it on mobile, you might like Weechat - that's how I use it currently, terminal over SSH on desktops, mobile client over the relay protocol on the go.

The only thing that breaks the web is developers who do not care about compatibility and performance. If I would not be harrassed and slowed down on every second hipster page with 1000s of external resources I would consider going back to default-on javascript.

The fact that simple HTML delivery can be remarketed as "AMP" is a joke.

Additionally, from a designing perspective it's a good thing to render the first page statically so it does not need to talk to a backend when the visitor is most likely going to close the page after looking at the landing page.
How to scale Docker containers in production
Scribe was open sourced in 2008... It's not a new project.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribe_(log_server)
I run https://qrready.com as a solo founder. We had a soft launch late last month. I'd love to say we're profitable but it's a little early. I'm still learning how to market it properly.
I know, I'm not claiming to be a startup. I am asking if the "/" in the title means AND or if it means OR.

Also, from this: "By company, I mean something that generates (or is intending to generate) revenues"

Nowhere it says "only startups" or "with a product", so I'm just asking if it's a question specifically for one person startups or for one person companies.
Well, maybe this is all true for your time machine, but I'm definitely using a different design.
There have been far fewer serious vulnerabilities in OpenSSH than in OpenSSL.
I started https://lookify.co one year ago. Now I have one more co-founder and we still in private beta. We have the small number of customers. The company is not profitable yet. But as I can see we have big potential.
I'm running a single person company at http://flatangle.com/, where I provide traditional astrology software and services.

Last week I've made available my latest web app (http://elements.flatangle.com/) but I also sell traditional astrology reports at http://flatangle.com/products/reports/.

The business costs are pretty low, but since I'm not very good at marketing, my revenue is also still quite low. I'm doing this fulltime, along with freelancing to have some cashflow..
The mainframes and OpenVMS (though its clone, Windows). They're produced closer to the MIT and cathedral styles with a practical focus. The mainframes still run the backends of our financial system, logistics, big retailers, and so on. Most stuff that people consume requires one of them. If a desktop is involved, it's usually Windows based with 90+% of the market share despite UNIX workstations and Linux desktops existing for a long time.

So, who won? Nobody. Both had success. Most successful, though, was combining a little bit of MIT method, cathedral, and ship fast from "worse is better." That's IBM and Microsoft's approach. A hybrid worthy of another Gabriel essay.
Show HN: Gaddr – All profiles (GitHub, Medium etc) in one place
I think lots of people here have made excellent points about the UK etc., so I would like to add something else, which is the representation of gun usage in the media. Let's compare a show like Flashpoint with, say, NCIS Los Angeles.

A Canadian series, Flashpoint shows you in its very first episode a SWAT situation (that's what the show is about) in which one team member acts as a sniper and kills a man who is holding somebody hostage. The first thing you see is that, as the sniper emerges from the building he was positioned on, his gun is taken away and he is led away by internal investigation to be interviewed. In the same episode, a proper investigation is launched, all team members are questioned and a judge ultimately has to decide whether the killing was warranted or not. The usual approach in all of the episodes is a gradual escalation from negotiation to non-lethal to lethal methods, highlighting specifically that the least amount of violence possible is always to be preferred.

In NCIS Los Angeles, between the four main investigators, they probably shoot on average one or two people per episode, and nothing ever seems to come of it. Not just do the characters not seem to mind or care, but nobody else seems to be concerned either. If an investigation ever happens, it happens as a plot device or conspiracy, not as a routine investigation of law enforcement conduct or the lawfulness of a police killing.

Of course, all of these events are fictional, but they nevertheless show a very different approach to gun usage as well as general escalation/deescalation strategies employed. Furthermore, they have an impact on how people conceive of law enforcement, setting expectations but also showing examples. Is every show like NCIS Los Angeles? Certainly not, and not every Canadian show is like Flashpoint, either. However, I do think that these shows emblemise very different understandings of law enforcement and what is appropriate conduct as well as what constitutes reasonable violence.

Have you had a look at WeeChat + Glowing Bear? The idea is to keep WeeChat running permanently on a server (screen/tmux) and to connect to it from a browser (desktop or mobile).

That support matrix seems to be "Windows or OSX". If you want to make an encryption standard which works on Windows and OSX, why not get Microsoft and Apple around a table to hammer out an OS service/library?

Sounds easier than getting Microsoft (IE/Edge), Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Mozilla and Opera around a table to do the same thing at the browser level.

Why would that be the case?

He makes the claim "Being highly social actually correlates directly with [...] being stupid!", which is immediately followed by a supporting quote which clearly states that various personality attributes related to being social are "not related to IQ".

Great idea and a nice site. I love it's simplicity, and the ads don't piss me off, which is a first. They load with the page rather than 2 seconds later, so I don't notice them in a negative way, and as you say they feel appropriate and relevant rather than trying to sell me cat toys or tents.
Who, aside from you, is giving anyone shit here? I'm not saying ShutIt shouldn't exist; I'm asking what, if anything, makes learning it a worthwhile use of my time. Should the answer to that question be "nothing", it's still no judgment on ShutIt's existence; it's just a piece of information useful to people who calibrate their expenditure of attention perhaps differently from the way in which you do.

I agree with much of the sentiment such as string theory and multi universes are nonsense.
Yes math is just an abstraction tool, with mutually understood/ agreed rules , the rules and representations are not exactly true in the real world, users just agree them to assist with communication between users and over time.
Time is Not Real, it's an abstraction / quantification of change, but yes change is I think real i.e. the universe is always changing.
However his statement- Our ability to map out the history of the universe back to a fraction of an instant after its inception is a triumph - ruined it for me - an absurd statement for a scientist - we have no idea how the universe started we are only guessing it's history, the big bang theory is just a theory, probably no more real than Lord of the Rings.
Also, I'm looking for contributors.

If you have an interest in usable automation, an expertise in terminal internals, or just want to get involved, please get in touch.

@ianmiell
VirtualEnv and conda both accomplish the same goal (though conda has a fairly clever pip alternative included), but for vastly different userbases.

I am a developer, I've used VirtualEnv for every web app I've worked on, but now I use conda for handling my environments/package management because our software was ported over to it.

The reasons we did that were:

a) Every one of our users knows how to use conda (we build a scientific visualization app)

b) it got rid of a few thousand lines of CMake

c) Installation time is now maybe five minutes instead of 1+ hours.

d) We don't lose a week trying to get our stuff installed on a supercomputer

Our users are all scientists. They don't care about "best practices", they just want their stuff to work, and to be able to do their job. The level of technical skill varies wildly, but now a tool exists and they actually use it to segregate versions of their packages into separate environments. This is a freaking miracle; trying to figure out what's broken on a person in india's computer when they did a crazy from-source install in an environment we barely support was just about impossible. Now we say "do conda list and send us the output; also, you can get a working environment by installing whatever previous version worked for you" is a huge change (yes, build systems and package managers have been fixing that problem for decades, but this was the first one compelling enough to actually get scientists on board).

conda has been fantastic for us, and our users love it. They don't give a crap about what the python community has deemed the "right" way to do something.
Seconded, I adore Riot and it bugs me that it's left out of most benchmarks.

FYI Riot's alpha 3.0.0 release is much faster than 2.5.0, and is almost production ready (in fact, I'm using it on a project and it's rather reliable).

I'd be interested to hear from you.

I think freelancers fall into a grey area because while there are freelancers that treat their work as a business with the intent of scaling/automation/removing themselves as much as possible from admin tasks, there are also others that treat it very much like a high-paying job, without commitments.

How would this end up being different from today? Would it mean removing guns from the police? Would American police even allow that given that we have such a highly armed society?

While I agree with the point, I don't know how you define what you mean, and then how we get there. I can definitely see getting rid of lethal weapons as a good step, but they'd need some support like SWAT for situations like what happened Friday.

"Setting aside issues like the shortage of available talent and the average of four years to develop and bring a new ASIC to market, the material costs alone are high. The manufacturing of a typical two-gram chip requires 1.6 kilograms of fossil fuel, 72 grams of chemicals, and 32 kilograms of water. The materials involved in making a 32Mbit RAM chip can add up to as much as 630 times the mass of the final product."

You realize that this is replacing a number of general purpose chips and reduces the new amount of materials consumed to accomplish a task, right? If you're not spending those 72 grams of 'chemicals' on your ASIC your spending 720 on general purpose CPUs.

I apologize if I misread your comment.
Im curious why you switched from react to backbone. Ive been considering doing the opposite. Mostly because I want to be able to use redux for undo/redo functionality and also for user action replays I can use for debugging. Redux doesnt play well with the backbone.js paradigm.
I didn't, and I agree that they need to improve. They always need to improve, but I have to agree with the coroner on the Tyler Cassidy shooting - I'm not entirely sure what else they could have done. But, they do get it wrong - especially, it seems for some reason, in Victoria.

The incidence of police shooting across our entire population is by far significantly less than in the U.S. - which is not to say that even one avoidable shooting is acceptable, only that it happens far less often.
Despite that, Manishearth is correct that they should rely on a battle-tested library instead of just Rust. That's just one kind of issue. The main ones will be:

1. Abstraction gap issues where security analysis of algorithm/protocol didn't reflect a realistic implementation. Padding errors were an old example of that.

2. Issues with each individual component where it might have not been instantiated or removed correctly.

3. Interface errors where things were connected in a dangerous way. Examples include wrong ordering or meet-in-middle.

4. Parsing errors.

5. Memory safety issues.

6. Compiler optimizations introducing security issues or removing security checks.

7. Covert storage or timing channels. Mainstream INFOSEC have re-discovered them as "side channels." I'm not sure you can even do covert, channel analysis in Rust yet as it requires a clear mapping from language to assembler. Most projects just ignore this requirement although BoringSSL addresses it with hand-coded assembly as you pointed out.

So, there's a lot of ground to cover implementing even a straight-forward, crypto protocol to ensure it's secure. Most of that has nothing to do with the protections Rust offers. Matter of fact, it might be a step back in many ways due to immature (or non-existent) tooling for specific requirements on the list. Side-by-side SPARK and MISRA C implementations with design-by-contract and some assembly are the strongest here for now.

Keep at your project, though. Your longer comment detailing the work was quite impressive. Great work. Even better that you're gradually tweaking one that already works in real-world deployments. Will avoid many issues that way.

'Worth' as defined by 'what someone is willing to pay'?

Saying Snapchat is 'worth' 17 billion euros is completely and utter nonsense.
I'd strip the police departments of the powers to just charge the taxpayers for money in settlements and make them purchase malpractice insurance, just like every other professional. Insurance underwriters would bring department policies nationwide up to a single uniform standard. I'd hope this skin in the game + increased investment in officer training would effect changes.
I had Adsense and self-hosted ads simultaneously for a while and had built a decent base of advertisers and contacts over the years so there wasn't much additional investment of time above what I was already doing.

> Lol, as opposed to all the other actors in the economy who provide a service.

I see what you mean and there may not even be a visible difference from outside.

But I think there's a big difference between "I'm going to make money getting grocery products as cheap as possible and selling them as high as local market can handle it" and "I'm going to open a grocery store in an area which doesn't have it yet and make money providing products to people". Effectively they're the same and some people may think of it as the first case.

I just don't believe anyone doing HFT cares one bit about the rest of the market. They are in it to make money. It just happens to lower the spread. If there was a way to do it by making the spread larger and pissing everyone else off, they'd still do it.

Different example in real life in some countries - homeless people collecting glass bottles from the street so they can return them and get some change back in countries where recycling cost is added to the price by default. You're paying for it when you're buying a drink and not returning the bottle yourself. They get money for cleaning the street. But it just happens to be connected - I wouldn't say you're paying the homeless for the street cleaning service.
Have I found the most lightweight way to cross-platform programming?
I know that's very unlikely, but hey, if you're interested, check out the note_space program on the website www.kylla.info, and say what you think of it. It uses PHP, which I understand is not universally admired. The program's goal is not to impress the experts, but to actually distribute a free program that will be useful to ordinary people on windows, macintosh or linux (however, not on any smartphone OS).
This is fundamentally wrong. As Matt Levine said, "proper phrasing is 'DB supports $1.7trn of assets with an equity value equal to SnapChat's'" [1]

Edit: For a more complete analysis of DB's capital position, they have published Moody's report on their credit. [2] I don't see much in there that would suggest DB was insolvent, but they do seem to be having some difficulty reorganizing their business.
