Well, if you look at the history of URL use in the public offline realm, it keeps getting shorter.

URLs started as "http://www.example.com" in the late 90's, and then went to "www.example.com", and are now mostly "example.com". For major trademarks, it could be the natural progression to just go to "example". Or not - internet use is weirdly unpredictable.
I spent a lot of time learning new languages and filling in my missing computer-science education. You can do a lot in 3 months if you have no distractions! I was probably there 60 - 70 hours a week and have never managed to hit such a sweet spot of motivation, inspiration and productivity before or since. My PhD was a colossal waste of time in comparison. Actually it made me totally re-evaluate my ideas about education in general.

A random selection from memory:

* Emulator and debugger for a particular embedded hardware (MSP430)
* Website that scraped Rosetta Code and displayed it in a less-annoying form
* Genetic algorithm for graph problems
* Nand2Tetris course
* Two weeks trying and mostly failing to learn Haskell (took me another year to really 'get' it)
* All sorts of other fun/dumb stuff. Boggle solver! Endless project Euler problems! Super Meat Boy!

It's a combination of what you mentioned and incompatibility with APIs like Direct Manipulation. Raymond Chen explains it here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20150129-00/?p=...
Aside from what stijlist said, you can't really graduate from RC. It's not a program with a list of things to do, a certificate, or a "path" to complete. It's literally just work on and learn whatever you want for three months (or half that) and build stuff. You can't really have a graduation for that.
Plasmons are an aggregate oscillation of charge density in a material. In the case of the charged graphene sheet, we get surface plasmons from the oscillations of the charged added to the sheet as mentioned in the article.

Plasmons are kind of cool because they can associate with photons to create polaritons. It's not clear to me without having read the paper if they're proposing that polaritons be induced or if the emissions are being caused by spontaneous plasmons in the graphene.
My take is that Hitch is there to help developers stay informed (via push vs pull) about changes to APIs they are interested in and then to provide a forum to discuss those changes. I think the "marketplace" piece (i.e. Browse APIs) is really just to facilitate the ability to find the API you want to "Follow" for changes.
I'm not keen on any sort of space plane or similar idea.

The main issue is the forces acting on the vehicle along multiple axes.

For a VTVL rocket like the Falcon 9, there is just one main axis along which acceleration and load-bearing is going through: straight up and down.

For a space plane, you have at least two. One along the thrust line, and another when it is supporting itself on the ground and in flight. So now you have to reinforce the structure more, which adds a lot of weight.

And that's disregarding the thermal protection system which is more complicated too.
And now that Google owns the TLD `google' with their whole com.google thing a while back, what's to stop them from setting up https://google./? Is there any technical reason? Do you have to go through ICANN?
A tiling window manager like dwm, XMonad or i3 could be configured to do what you want. For example in XMonad if you set the title of your terminal windows to a project name you can sort the windows by project workspaces using ManageHook.

myManageHook = composeAll
[ className =? "URxvt" <&&> title =? "<project-name>" --> doShift "<project-workspace>" ...

https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tip...

You can check windows with xprop, and filter by strings as well.
There many languages with multiple scripts. Konkani is written in both Kannada and Devanagari. Manipuri is written in both Manipuri and Bengali.

For a more controversial example, I'd say maybe Urdu/Hindi are basically the same language written in Devanagari or Urdu. (btw, I just looked at Shahmukhi on wikipedia and it is exactly the same as Urdu).
In terms of authentication I think being able to add a (very specific) piece of content to the site or being able to add a DNS record are two common solutions. I'm not suggesting it's viable in this case though.

Me too, so last week I created gulp-pug-hyperscript to compile Pug/Jade templates to Hyperscript [1].

In order to completely avoid JS in the markup, event binding must be done outside of the markup. I do this by using event delegation rather than binding directly to elements.

The Soviets claimed a lot of things. Of course, so did, and still do, the United States. But it's not for nothing, I think, that you find no shortage of contemporary Soviet and Ukrainian, and modern Russian, attestations of the Holodomor - whereas on the other side of things, not even the furthest right-wing anti-FDR John Birchers ever made even the slightest attempt to claim that any such thing happened in the United States. No one denies the Dust Bowl was bad. No one in the US, as far as I've ever been able to determine, has ever even tried to claim the Dust Bowl was that bad.
I applied when I needed it the most. Was rejected for a reason that revealed more about them than about me or my readiness for coding skills.

Ask HN: Good options for next career?
throwaway account..

I've pretty much had enough of being a programmer. I know I've reached the burnout stage, but I've lost all motivation to even try to reverse it. I think I just need to find another career path.

For background: Been a developer / lead for almost 20 years. Worked at a bunch of startups, big companies, consultant, government, etc. Mostly been a programmer, lead, DBA, web, mobile. Tried a lot but obviously not everything.

Not even interested in trying something new that involves sitting in front of the computer. Tried taking a 6 month break from everything, at the end I just realized that the software industry is not for me anymore. I probably don't need to list the reasons why, you've probably experienced one or more of them. I don't think I'm depressed or bitter, as I still have enthusiasm for the other aspects of my life. Just not software.

So my question is: Anyone have good insight into what career paths would benefit from my lengthy and mostly successful career as a programmer? Any good fields that would be easier to transition into?

TLDR; Finished with my career as a programmer, what are good career choices where I can leverage my software industry skills and experience?
We are part of the way to a solution to that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security

That said, I do think it's unreasonable to think an average Internet user will discern that you specified https. I think a better practice is to try to use https on every site, and only fallback if you decide you are willing to accept the lack of security.

Of course they do, but under NDA, just ask. OpenGL on top of whatever GAPI is on target platform is usually <100 KLOC, so completely possible to write your own if you REALLY need to (really is when your 1kk+$ budget game will fail just because there is an engineering problem).

And if you don't have resources to ask/communicate than just use something like https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/ which is an awesome API agnostic rendering library.

Explanation of claim:
Magnetization of graphite makes lithium diffusion easier in anode

Effect:
Half-cell data shows energy capacity of anode increase up to 3X

What time means to real people:
The anode is roughly 20% of the LiB, thus a 3X increase in capacity would equate to 3x20% = 60% improvement in capacity of a real battery.

My take:
HORSESHIT

Why???? #1:
Half-cell demonstrations, like this one, do not translate well as the cathode used in pure-lithium metal, essentially providing an infinite source of lithium. In a full-cell test you use a metal oxide with lithium-ions pre-intercalated, essentially providing a limited source of lithium. Unfortunately lithium gets eaten up in side reactions by the electrolyte and the active material (SEI, solid-electrolyte-interphase). Thus infinite lithium sources via half-cell testing are not good final test. They are only used for screening.

Why??? #2:
Tortuosity has NOTHING to do, albiet directly, with how much lithium can intercalate with carbon in graphite. What it effects is the path that lithium has to diffuse through the electrode - it effects charge/discharge rates. Essentially, magnetization should charge/discharge easier (i.e. at lower voltages) because the lithium can navigate easier through the electrode. Why no reporting on C rate?

My take:
I suspect what is happening is that the same charge/discharge rate can be attained at a lower voltage because magnetization of graphite with iron oxide additives make it easier for lithium to navigate in the electrode. Because it is a lower voltage, less lithium is eaten up by electrolytes breaking down in SEI. However, I'd bet you my mother's rusty ball-sack this amounts to tiddlywinks when the lithium is limited in a full-cell battery.

Nice try but nothing matters with out full-cell testing, energy density reporting AND cyclability reporting.

> This system made it possible to refer to different systems from within Hypertext, but now that virtually all content is hosted over HTTP, may not be as necessary anymore.

WS and WSS will become more and more commonplace over time. I like that a 25+ year old protocol is forward compatible enough to accommodate new methods of network communication. It could be debatable whether HTTPS and WSS are necessary for a URL but they give a hard guarantee that a secure connection will be made and not silently downgraded for those who care about such things.

Turkey had one last chance this decade to restore sanity. That chance is now gone and the US and Europe were on the wrong side of history.
I think that's probably true. One exception might be very early employees who get 0.5%-3.0% equity in a company that sells for $100m or $200m. You can probably walk away with $1m or $2m for a couple of years of works. With a multi-billion-dollar exit, you might end up with $10m or $20m someday, but it'll be many years into the future -- and there will be many tempting opportunities to sell stock early along the way.
ARM to be sold to Japanese Softbank for 32B$ in wake of Brexit
Sorry for not clarifying that. It's possible I'm only glad because it has turned out that forms are much more important than search alone. I also think it's roughly a good thing that we were ultimately given relatively basic tools, and allowed to build all sorts of things with them. I do agree that many unfortunate decisions were made in those early days, many of them because they were just not aware of what problems we would be using the Internet to solve in 2016.
I really want to play with HaLVM at some point. Unikernels are fascinating to me. Think of how many server hours we can save by just booting up a unikernel on each incoming request.

The problem with HTTP, for me, is that I need to have some program running, listening on a port, in order to access the functionality that I've chosen to expose behind a REST API.

With unikernels, RESTful web servers go from being a special kind of function, that requires an always-running executable, to the executable being "applied to" incoming requests, as needed. So a DNS server can basically take an incoming request, boot up a unikernel in 20 ms, reply with the unikernel IP, and the newly started unikernel will receive the actual request data shortly thereafter. This feels more like "applying a web function" to an incoming request, and throwing away that function when the connection is closed - like a garbage collector, of sorts. Rather than having some executable sit and wait for data on a TCP socket, it would be nicer to be able to distribute web apps as shared objects: loaded into memory when needed and applied to a request.
I think we're getting closer to the point where browsers will explicitly flag HTTP as insecure.
Why would they only be useful in strict languages? You don't need a macro to write `unless` in Haskell, but you do to (say) automatically generate typeclass membership given a datatype, or autogenerate lenses, and that use is orthogonal to evaluation strategy.

I have given a lot of thought to this question. It seems fairly simple but given that they've taken the other route, that is, force more controls, the government would look bad.

I think there's a lot of internal problems within the ruling party in regards to what should be done. Unfortunately, the president is the one unwilling to see differently or "betray" his ideology (or so it seems).

There are also subsidies to most products (as the government solution to some of the price caps) and last thing that has been said (in an informal setting by the VP) was that "the subsidies have been a mistake" and that they will try to fix it with some sort of "basic income" but only for the poor rather than for everyone - which opens another HUGE opportunity for white collar corruption - something the government seems to love and cherish.

In short, the president preaches a radicalism that would go against taking "neo-liberal economic policies" and by doing so he (I assume), perceives that the public will find him weak. Which, paradoxically, he already is. In my view, Nicolas Maduro (our president) is in an impossible situation in which the best he can do is to step away - but this opens another pandora box that he seems unwilling to go for, as such he's doing everything in his power to avoid a referendum or any sort of democratic solution.
Shortcuts for Waze 2.0 – create custom navigation shortcuts [Android App]
If you think it's so unrelated, then maybe you didn't understand what he was trying to say?

Doctors are necessary and important and deserve to be paid well, since they deal with life. But that can be done by anyone really. I'm not saying any idiot can become a doctor, it's that most doctors do what any other doctor can do.

I'm not interested in those things either. I would rather work on something that can change how people live their lives--which one could arguably say is close to evolution.
I think the lesson is that you only have to trick people into authorizing your malicious app once.
Waze does not provide a built-in way to add shortcuts to places. So I wrote this app to provide them.

What you say is indeed important, but I wouldn't say the work before that is not "real work". It's just different types of work. Ask any successful startup founder what their initial codebase was like and they would say--if they're honest--it was shitty.

There's a reason for this. The "real work" you mention comes into play only after the product has reached product market fit and needs scaling. Before that phase, it's all about struggling to make things work, and people don't have time to refactor everytime they need to make a small tweak and experiment. So naturally by the time the "real work" guys come in they will think "WTF the code is so shitty, whoever wrote this is an idiot". But they should know that they're there only because of that shitty code. If they were in that same situation (and rational) they would have done the same thing--write a consequentially shitty code.
Well, in a spiritual sense, sorta kinda. But only sorta kinda. The problem:

Markdown : WordStar _Formatting Codes_ :: ??? : WordStar

WordStar was the _editor._ Markdown is _embedded formatting codes._

I'd really like to see a terrific editor based around Markdown, but despite looking at a whole lot of them, none of them are really quite as good as my favorite lost word processor, XyWrite. (XyWrite also used embedded formatting codes, and in fact was arguably closer to Markdown than anything else, as its files were just plain text with markup. When I needed to access a few very old files a couple years ago, I could convert them from XyWrite to Markdown with a few search and replace operations.)

What I'd really like to see is an editor that pays attention to aesthetics the way Ulysses, Byword, and MultiMarkdown Composer do, but pays attention to "power user" features the way a text editor like Atom, BBEdit or Sublime Text do. Just because I'm writing prose rather than code doesn't mean I don't occasionally need regex-based search and replace, or God forbid, want to do something crazy like split the window pane to see two different places in the same file at the same time.

To whom? I see many people who need a trivial amount of server logic. Right now, they can do one of 3 things:

- Use a random site who may or may not radically change their business model in the new few years.
- Pay $5/month for a VPS, then get forcibly dragged up the learning curve of becoming a full-time sysadmin
- Pay pennies for Lambda

In this one case perhaps. On the other hand, what would we have said if China attacked a middle eastern country in the name of "freeing it from a dictator" and it turned out their intelligence agencies tortured people there, or held "terrorists" on Chinese soil without any sort of trial? The barbarians!

There is enough mud to be thrown either way. As a country allied with the US (in general) I'm much less concerned by America's government, but the distrust of anything non-western... I mean, we are all people wanting to make a living in this world with much more in common than most are aware of.
As someone born, raised and currently living in Venezuela, I can tell you that, yes, previously the elites ruled the country and created massive amounts of poor people.

But 40 years ago, someone like my father,who came from a very modest and tiny town in the east of the country managed to go to school, study and buy a house and a car with my mom who also came from modest upbringing.

They managed to buy an apartment with their salary and put my sister and I through school and college. And just like them, thousands of venezuelans had some hope to get ahead through work.

Right now, I'm an electrical engineer thanks to them and I could work my whole life and never be able to afford the tiniest house. I'm scraping by with less than $100 a month and I already make more money than most people.

Why do you think most young people here have plans or have left the country? Because they have ZERO hope of ever moving out of their parent's house or buying a car. That was not a reality before Chavez came to power.

Maybe that's old-fashioned but I'm just not a big fan of the "just use Unity" argument. Game engines tend to be horribly bloated, it's in their nature. Plus you're now dependent on a costly, proprietary black-box for the lifetime of the game, good luck if a screw is loose between the layers.

I guess the answer is that there is now a greater purpose than ever for in-between graphics libraries if all you want to do is draw a few triangles with a texture. They say they continue to support OpenGL in parallel, but considering that Vulkan was originally called "GLNext", I have my doubts about how long they want to continue to do that.

It's just that I haven't come across such a wall of code in a "beginner's guide" tutorial in quite a while. Feels a bit like they are moving to target big-budget engines exclusively, now. I see that this is in the nature of modern graphics hardware, but still.
