Good question.

That would be fairly (ok, wildly) impractical.

Most of the roads are gravel, which means that maintenance would be a nightmare. Road graders aren't great at keeping the blade level on turns. So you'd get buildup/digout at every turn.

When it rained you'd get run-off and erasion. Which makes me think of drainage, wow, with the water making 120 degree turns roughly every half mile you'd get some serious washout on those occasions when we get 2" dumped on us in what feels like 10 minutes.

Zig-zagging across the country with a 24-row planter in tow would be a giant pain in the ass (you plan your route minimize the number of turns you're making). Would be a pain driving a combine fitted with a 12 row head. And at harvest the trucks taking grain to the elevator or silos would be doing the same zig-zagging.

It's not like the grain that's outside the obvious circle doesn't yield. It get irrigated via runoff as well as powerful sprinkler guns at the end of the pivot arm.

Credentials: grew up farming in central Nebraska, married into a 5th generation farming family. Thousands of acres, all centrally irrigated via pivot.

Edit: Didn't want opening tone to sound argumentative/condescending.

Edit 2: Just thought about power lines. They'd have to zig-zag too. Which means the pole on the zag would have lateral force vectors acting on it, so it would have to be reinforced/anchored. When the afore-mentioned washouts happened, down goes pole and powerline.

I could understand (but in no way respect) their decision for doing that if they had a decent product or good idea.

This looks like someone is having a punt on an idea after spending 30 minutes hacking together a website. I can't understand the idea though - we pay them for us to do work? I couldn't see any mention of what actually happens to the 'startup' or IP afterwards.
I've played with this a bit, it was fun.
What do you mean by "good reason"?

If you mean reasons that make sense, sure, of course there's a reasonable explanation for why religion is so prevalent throughout history.

If you mean reasons that involve benefit to humans, I'm rather skeptical. There may be, but the mere fact that it's common doesn't mean that there must be. Cancer and broken bones are pretty common too.

Thats a complexity that doesn't make any sense.
This is not a good argument, Vulkan is both brand new and much more difficult to support than other graphics APIs.

Also Vulkan support doesn't fix busted drivers, wonky fullscreen, OS integration, etc.

It also doesn't fix audio, or HID support, which is both huge headaches on linux.
The convention is for UNIX processes to return 0 on success and a non-zero value (often 1) on failure. This means that the UNIX shell "if" statement tests to see if the return value of the program it runs is zero. Therefore, the UNIX "true" command is int main() {return 0;} and the "false" command is int main() {return 1;} -- despite the C convention being the exact opposite.
You could easily train a dog go in a litterbox, but that would be gross. Just as gross, actually, as it is to keep a litterbox full of toxoplasmosis in your house.

If cats are so amazingly intelligent to always go in a box, why is there so much cat poop in the gardens of my apartment complex? The gardeners have actually threatened to leave, strata has notified the cat owners (not that they care because they don't take responsibility for their "pets", they just roam free).

I have 2 of them running in the closet next to my bed, can barely hear it if I'm not maxing out the CPU. At max fan speed, sure, it's pretty darn loud. One could do better with a large case and larger, quieter fans.
This is true for certain types of software, but it is neither easier nor free to develop games for linux, by any stretch.
It says no custom domain support. I only see it at the enhanced option, just like personal.
I'd rather connect a display, keyboard and mouse to my phone. But the UI needs a cursor, and a file system.

If I recall correctly Ubuntu wanted to try that, as did Microsoft. Too early to market perhaps.

Well this is very similar to what Ubuntu Phone is providing, and Ubuntu does have a rich rich set of linux applications but not as rich as Android.
> This doesn't work for embedded devices.

This is patently incorrect. Even the underpowered Z80-clone micros with 18kB RAM I was writing firmware for 15 years ago had trivially updated firmware; modern devices are even easier.

The article even mentions that wireless firmware updates is a feature:

Then she bought a pacemaker programmer online,
and she and other hackers figured out that it
could be used to update the code on her implant.

> Nobody except the most determined attacker will attack

Relying on the laziness and ignorance of the attacker is a terrible idea.

> Hence why it might not be a great idea to publish their vulnerabilities

This is why any it's important to practice responsible disclosure. The manufacturer should have a reasonable time to make their patch before telling the internet.
At least for the remote desktop functionality, there's Chrome Remote Desktop. The Android app is surprisingly useful. I didn't think it would be realistic to control a full resolution desktop through a phone, but I've succeeded in doing just that on several occasions when in a pinch.

Sorry, but you're being naive.

Rarely there are standards bodies that aren't controlled by companies and their interests.

If they allowed OpenGL to flourish, it would ultimately be controlled by either Nvidia, ATI, PowerVR or someone else in the interest group to suit their hardware. Somebody has to pay the engineers.

Look at W3C, if is practically controlled by Google, and they only do what suits their needs, the way they want.

Look at Bluetooth, Apple is controlling the thing, and now they are releasing a newer version that's selfishly taylored for Apple to sell expensive headphones probably with patented methods, which they will use to protect themselves in court in case someone goes on a patent war against them.
Ask HN: How do you learn and get better at Programming without having a job?
I am currently at a Bootcamp for WebDevelopment (RoR, JS, HTML/CSS) and I have learnt a lot over the past few months. This, however is barely scratching the surface and there is a lot more I need to learn to become a decent developer. Usually people would extend their learning via their jobs. I won't have that option as I will directly go back to my start up that is not entirely technology centric. How do I continue to learn in this scenario?
Hulu was amazing when it launched, but it's gone downhill ever since. The last couple of times I've tried it, they show more commercials than I'd see just watching the show live or on-demand. Plus it was a 1:1 relationship so if a show had 10 commercials, it was the same one repeated 10 times.

Even if it was a free service, I can't justify using it over literally any other streaming option out there, including on-demand where you can't fast forward through commercials.
Could you please elaborate a bit regarding how much logical integration is needed between different sites? I mean, how much tweaking does the algorithm need (if at all) in order to fit a specific site design or a specific product?

Perhaps what we need are shopping malls. Aren't they, after all, the modern cathedrals of consumerism? (And aren't they just what we need more of in this world?) :P

Shopping malls aspire to be beautiful (primarily on the inside), but they can never be as beautiful or as well-architected as cathedrals, in form or in spirit.

Shopping malls have a bigger overhead than bazaars, and are less flexible. But their overhead is much less, and their flexibility much greater, than that of cathedrals.

Shopping malls provide more foundation and infrastructure than bazaars do. A bazaar minus its stalls is just a dusty field. A shopping mall minus its shops still has multiple levels, maps / directories, elevators / escalators, parking, loading docks, etc.

It costs more to set up shop in a mall than in a bazaar, but your shop will be more trusted, you won't have to squabble for space with your neighbours every day, and you won't get blown away by the next storm.

Shopping malls are designed with dedicated spaces that are tailored to different businesses. A supermarket has very different needs compared to a shoe shop.

Shopping malls are bazaars with a tonne of design, engineering, and regulation thrown in. But they're still bazaars. They're still where you get your groceries.
Sure, if you find something that works for you, then good job, do it.
I'd say "for reasons" not necessarily "good" ones. In particular, I think the jury is still out. The hacks that people have done to get comments into npm files are really quite illuminating.
I'm primarily concerned with escalated privileges in what will become standardized gear for VR and AR viewing...if we start down the path with containerization like I expect we are.

Worn most of the time while a typical user is awake, goggle hacking will represent a very large target with widely varying rewards.
If you're interested, the next time your phone crashes like that, /proc/last_kmesg (or similar) may tell you the reason.

Whether or not this is acceptable for software and hardware to have gotten this unreliable is another question entirely.
> Maybe if you're a day or mechanical trader.

Or swing trader or any kind of trader looking to time the market. Trading requires the ability to execute in near real-time. Block chain transactions and worse, fiat transfers between parties, takes far too long for trading to be effective.

> Have you encountered any definite proof of your conclusion?

They must be centralized to obtain the necessary speed because currently block chain transactions are too slow. Proof is unnecessary, logic is more than ample. One can't trade effectively if ones capital is hung up in "transit" between parties. Exchanges exist specifically to provide fast trading. There wouldn't be any exchanges if block chain transactions were fast enough.
It's kickstarter which means it won't actually ship until at least a year after it claims. And there's no way they're going to provide a decent keyboard, touchpad and screen for $99 and still make a profit.

It'll ship late and be probably 2x that cost at which point you should just get a chromebook. Or, ya know, use the laptop you already have.
I hate this cynical "they're trying to get us" view on politics and laws. Yes, there's potential for misuse of data. There's also the potential for correct use of data. It took scientific data to get leaded gasoline banned.

Opposing scientific studies because they could be misused is no better than opposing scientific studies because they might not support your views. Both cases are fundamentally anti-science and there are no bonus points for trying. If you support science, then you support it. If you oppose science when it might not yield the results you want, then you are anti-science and have no place in a progressive society.
I expected to be downvoted anyway
Likewise. The landing page gave me no clue. I just now went back and clicked on one of those documents, assuming that I'd get some kind of documentation about the format. Turns out it opened a live document editor. I certainly wouldn't have predicted that from the line "Open-source documentation for common JSON formats."
I find grub incomprehensible so I still use lilo on my home computer.

It works every single time without even one failure. On the other hand grub has failed me multiple times on the machines it's installed on.

Grub has an overly complex config that you can't verify until you reboot and try it - if it fails you have a huge pain trying to get the exact right code to type in to make it work.

Lilo on the other hand either works, or it tells you it didn't before you reboot, which makes it much more reliable.

Lilo is better.
My claim would be applied to all virtualized environments, including containers and VMs - not just Docker. Microkernels have a decent shot at keeping the security issue at bay, but even then it can't keep them out forever.

Everything falls to hacking eventually. That's the nature of it, at least till now.

I would note that Docker is primarily a tool for developers and operations folk who are also the author of the software being run. Docker itself is not the risk here, but using it for some use cases may very well be.
I still miss COM. It had its problems, sure, but it worked really well.

I haven't seen anything since that allowed such decoupled development
I'm the same. I'm generally introverted but I loved my dog (RIP) more than anything.

So, you think it's better not to have open standards and let lock-in and monopolies run rampant? Hard, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
> Making the default provide effectively useless information...

That's quite presumptuous I think. You may find it effectively useless. Others may not. The job of a default is to cater for a majority. One size does not fit all, so it is certain that there will exist people unhappy about the default whatever it is. So just because some number of people complain does not mean that the default is wrong.

On the other hand, I accept the documentation could be improved, but this does generally need someone other than the author to point out deficiencies. The author could have written and submitted a documentation patch in the time it took him to write that blog post.
Where would chrome like that appear in touch UI? Typically tooltips show on hover, but touch UI has no hover effect.
I'm not sure if it supports your claim given most of the top comments were pro-Ipod whereas the story summary had the quote you gave. The comments seem to guess at the benefits people would be claiming later on. Interesting looking back at a critical moment in the past anyway, though. :)
This, and the related square (ish) grid survey pattern in the US explain the parceling.

The tilling of soil ruining embedded networks explains why that isn't used (probably also pests).

Circular irrigation sprayers; now those I have to wonder about versus a single over-farm arm that can run down a length.

Also, if the water is valued as it should be, why aren't 'growing season' tent structures with build in irrigation used instead?
Many people do not understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. It is often mistakenly assumed that drug abusers lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop using drugs simply by choosing to change their behavior. In reality, drug addiction is a complex disease, and quitting takes more than good intentions or a strong will.

The genes that people are born with––in combination with environmental influences––account for about half of their addiction vulnerability. Additionally, gender, ethnicity, and the presence of other mental disorders may influence risk for drug abuse and addiction. -- drugabuse.gov

Maybe you got lucky that a combination of your genes and lack of certain mental disorders helped you get out of your addiction with sheer effort. Others may not be that lucky. If you had the same predisposition to getting addicted as other people you might not have made it no matter how hard you try. So, you can't generalize your individual experience with others.
>Judges should have the right to look at any plea deal they suspect may be questionable...

When a defendant changes their plea from guilty to either not guilty or no contest pursuant to a plea offer, a Judge always hears the offer and has the authority to accept or reject the offer. Moreover, pleas are evidentiary hearings so evidence of mitigating/aggravating facts can be introduced to help the judge make their decision. Typically, the facts will be limited to simply enough to establish there are facts sufficient, that if true, would result in a conviction). However, if the Judge has a problem with it (thinks the sentence is to light or to heavy) they will usually request evidence to justify the deal.

In addition to what people typically think about when they hear plea (defense and prosecutor working out a deal), often times the two parties can't come to an agreeable deal, and the defense will opt for an open plea to the court, essentially bypassing the prosecutor's offer and asking the Judge for exactly what they want, and then allowing the Judge to again make the final decision based on the evidence offered at the plea hearing.
I almost exclusively get sleep paralysis laying on my back too. It's hard for me to fall asleep on my back fortunately, but when I do it's a nearly sure-fire way to end up in sleep paralysis. Is there any explanation for why this is the case?

To GP, it's definitely real. I didn't have it until I was around 25. My first time was shocking -- I'd never experienced anything similar. I rarely have any visual hallucinations, sometimes auditory hallucinations, but the main component of sleep paralysis is the breathless, weighed down sensation of desperately wanting to move but being totally unable to do so. My experiences are always accompanied by the extreme urge to get up and protect myself. I even sometimes have my eyes open during sleep paralysis, and I've confirmed with my wife that I can see my surroundings by, after I come to, accurately reporting her movements around the room during an episode.
If that is owned by a different person, that brings an interesting opportunity cost problem.

If the owner of the smaller area shared it with the owner of the bigger area. An agreement could be struck to pay for 1 quarter of the operating costs and receive one quarter of the harvest.

Both parties would save on operating costs, yet receive the same harvest.
Forgive me for basis a lot of my argument off a single comic/link, but this comic blog from a lawyer helps explain why the Jury system is very much so a problem (mildly long read):

http://thecriminallawyer.tumblr.com/post/16202923895/interlu...

In short, you're asking jurors to take on a huge responsibility with little to no understanding of the laws they're being expected to make a decision on. In virtually every instance the jurors are left in a completely uneducated state and unable to give any proper assessment, relying basically on whatever cues they decide to pick up on instead of factual evidence. The idea of 12 Angry Men never really existed with juries and was far outside the scope of what a juror is really supposed to be doing.
A. Corner-cases.

B. Paternalism.
So what if it's new? Technology shouldn't stand in one place. MS got so scared of it, that they rushed to push their NIH lock-in alternative (DX12). It demonstrates they understand the strong potential of competition here.

Drivers can be busted anywhere (including Windows). But with Vulkan they are reduced to hardware layer which is ironed out rather fast normally. Not sure what you mean about OS integration (sounds too vague). Fullscreen, input and etc. are mostly issues related to X11, which should be cleaner with Wayland usage. The later takes longer than it should to get adopted, but all major DEs are already close to it.

Sound - never had any sound problems on Linux for a while. Are you sure you aren't measuring it by experiences of some early broken Pulse releases?

How We Developed the Board Game Motivation Profile
It's funny how he cites Carmack's plan/finger updates as a source of inspiration since these kind of changes went in over the course of the games development, not on a day 1 patch! If you consider the game on 'disc' as the finished product, there is no way you could consider this game complete given the incredible number of changes in this patch. A while back reviewers tried to pull this 'on disc review only' thing and I don't think that's even possible anymore due to DRM like Steam requiring a patch before the game can start.

Even so, bravo to the team for the extra effort to make sure the experience is as good as it can be.

I have similar beliefs (preference to a theory that appears to make sense to me, but which I cannot readily find supportive scientific evidence for or against).

I suspect that actually curing addiction, or many other mental diseases, will require not just changes within, but also changes externally.

The sooner society can rid it's self of the blame culture, and adopt the more pragmatic 'solve the problems' culture, the better.
Badassify your terminal and shell
I asked the person operating the booth that had the VR headset if anyone had gotten sick from it. She laughed and said no, last year's was far worse—people actually got sick from that. The big difference was that last year's apparently didn't give people the ability to control how or where they looked.
