>* If you stop a song and come back in a few minutes, it has forgotten and goes back to the start of the song. If you leave it for a few hours, it just restarts the app and goes to the homepage, and you have no way of figuring out what you were listening to

Yes, this drives me mad! I didn't know if this was something only I encountered, but apparently not. In my situation it loses track of what I was listening to in a matter of minutes. Pause music to talk to someone for a bit? I hope I remembered where in the track I was because I'm going to have to search for it again and start over!

That's the other thing...there's no history or queue of music (or, I haven't found it). I end up favoriting things because then it's easier to find again once the app inevitably screws up my listening progress.

I tried searching for a solution (or to see if it was someone's idea of a "feature") but it's a hard thing to describe.
Ideally you would avoid this situation, but if you find yourself here: a good mitigation strategy is feature flags. If it's been agreed to build feature Y for one customer, then enable that feature for only that one customer. It's not a panacea, and won't necessarily help with your tech debt, but it will help the product stay focused from a user perspective.

FWIW, every product I've worked on has gone through this.
In other words, it's actually been improved (or reverted to visible) in Windows 8 and 10. So OP, go ahead and take the plunge; you'll probably like it!
Pretty neat, but it's not all olympic gold medal winners, we're neglecting a significant half of the population. Where are the women?
I bought the Palm 111, then the Palm TX. The Palm TX was great! It had internet access. That device made me an easy $15 grand in two months.

Now this was before smartphones were commonplace, and Goodguy's was going out of business. They had a huge section of video games. The wholesaler didn't know anything about video games, nor did I, but I knew they were worth more than $5 a game.

It was 9:30 at night, so I went to the outside of a local library. Got on the Internet, and found out people were buying Halo 3 Collector's edition for at least $30-$45.

I rushed back to Goodguy's and bought every box. They even threw in the displays.

The staff laughed at me. I remember thinking, I couldn't have pulled this off without that Palm TX. That TX gave me such a business advantage.

Two to three years later, everyone had a smartphone. My magic box was common place. I didn't have a commpetitative edge anymore.

Out of all business failures; the failure of Palm really bothered me then, and now. The Palms I had were rugged little products.

I connected the Palm to a gps, loaded the unit with Delorme maps, and took it down the Rogue River in a Baggie. The Rogue is a River in Oregon. I could see when Rainey falls, and Blossom Bar were about to hit us on that little black and white screen. Actually, with the zoom the screen size was more than enough. It worked beautifully.

A previous year I went over Rainey falls by accident. My best friend went over with me. He was 57 and a three pack a day smoker. He was under the water for a long time, but popped up, and swam to shore. The first words out of his mouth were, "Are my smokes wet?". Actually, his first works were yelling my name--then the smokes. Unfortunately, the smokes did survive. After that accident, by the fire at night. He told me, "I just had a hillbilly ECG!".

Years later, a doctor insisted he get a scan. His arteries were squeaky clean. He made it to 70 smoking--only quitting two months before he died. The last year he did need lung medication, and oxygen. Actually, he need albuteral for at least five years? A few weeks before he died, he told me he was lying about his smoking habit. He said he was smoking close to four-five packs a day since 14. I figured he had good genes, or maybe it was his diet? He barely ate.

Anyways, he died peacefully in his sleep ten years ago. I do miss the guy.

On a selfish note, don't make friends with people who are much older than you. Or, if you do--cultivate a lot of friends. He was basically my only friend. We did a lot of crazy stuff together. My life hasen't been the same since he passed away.

Sorry, got off subject.

(When he finally quit-- a few months before he passed, he said, "I thought it would be harder to quit? I actually believed all those commercials comparing smoking cigs to heroin." "I would have quit years ago if I knew what I know now.")
New Survey: Millennial Attitudes Making America’s Vacation Problem Worse
Millennial workers are the most likely generation to forfeit time off, even though they earn the least amount of vacation days. Millennials stay at work because they feel more fear and greater guilt about taking time away from the office than any other generation.http://travelsolutions.trip-smart.com/newsposts/new-survey-millennial-attitudes-making-americas-vacation-problem-worse/

Quote: "First, scientific knowledge advances most rapidly, and is of most value to society, not when its course is determined by the “free play of free intellects” but when it is steered to solve problems."

But the history of science boldly and flatly contradicts this claim. The most productive and society-reshaping products of science arise in pure, not applied, research.

Quote: "Second, when science is not steered to solve such problems, it tends to go off half-cocked in ways that can be highly detrimental to science itself."

Also contradicted by history. As just one example, the success of Bell Labs over the decades resulted, not from a focus on solving particular problems, but a focus on research for the sake of research -- pure science.

The author of the article raises an alarm about a supposed scientific crisis, and eventually reveals what he thinks is the source of the problem -- a waste of scientific talent spent on pure research. He needs to read the history of science with an open mind.

Quote: "It was military purchases that kept the new transistor, semiconductor, and integrated-circuit industries afloat in the early and mid-1950s."

That's true, but it's misleading because the development of the transistor at Bell Labs wasn't an applied science project, it resulted from pure research in materials science and physics.

The author isn't reporting on the state of science, he's complaining that it's not what he thinks it should be, in a way that stands at odds with science's history.
A z-buffer solution will not help as soon as you involve transparency. Which I'd assume is the case in 99℅ of applications. Unless your application/game is all boxes :)

At CloudFlare we use a self-hosted, and accessible via corp VPN only, Hipchat.

However it's important to note that this is primarily information inbound, and not instructions outbound.

Additionally, the disabling of a Hipchat account is near the top of the list of the security incident response team.

If a laptop is lost, if a machine compromised, the ability for those accounts to continue broadcasting information of any kind is immediately neutralised.

The risks are real, but one can mitigate them by:

1. Securing access to the chat environment (self-hosting, VPN only, different auth to this than to the rest of the infrastructure)

2. Not having chatops send instructions to other systems

3. Having well practised plans for disabling accounts in response to incidents

4. All of the above is no replacement for access control and auditing on all other systems

I'm not going to speak on behalf of the security team, but the idea that the chatops would send instructions to systems is pretty horrifying even if they originated from a machine or person.

It's bad enough to imagine the scenario that if someone's chat account were compromised and someone could gain access to the VPN to then use the chat, that social engineering via chat is likely to be more successful than by other mediums (people trust chat). Hence ensuring those accounts are disabled very quickly.

> Aren't we losing a lot of precision from word2vec results?

Not really, because the vectors are really high-dimensional, and the words that occur in the same headline together usually aren't close together.

So it's not really losing precision, it's more like combining the meanings of the words (numerically).
Sadly, it doesn't work in Edge (Although it's a rather good thing : there's no space in the chrome without tabs, so it would've been awkward)
Maybe it's much more of a social decision than a business decision.

Early stage investors are gambling even more than late stage investors. The best they can hope for is to find 50 reasonable deals and let the math work itself out.

So the better part of their decision could easily be based much more on what their peer early stage investors think of them. Founders with pedigree are easy to justify and obviously more socially valuable than founders without pedigree (like buying IBM). So being the angel who keeps getting those founders means other investors will look up to you.

And, if things go wrong, nobody can blame an investor for getting into bed with pedigreed founders. It's an obvious decision, so it won't invite ridicule. Since it's obvious, there will be more competition, and that's something the angel doesn't have to rely on luck to win.
Beside the nostalgic value, this hidden button has a very practical use when you use two monitors. I tend to have a window full-screened on each monitor. To close the window on the right monitor, I just mash my mouse pointer to the upper right corner (without having to aim precisely) and click. The pointer will "stick" to the upper right hand corner of the screen.

That is not possible for the window on the left monitor, because there is something to the right (the other monitor), thus, the pointer will not "stick" and it is harder to close the window (you have to actually aim).

Enter the "invisible button": For windows on the left monitor, just mash the mouse into the upper left corner and double click. No aiming necessary.

In Windows 10, most apps still have this button. But it seems to be tied to using the classic Win32 APIs or something. Modern "Metro" apps like the calculator do not have this invisible button any more. Let's hope that that style never catches on ...
Its just so much easier to add new functionality to the kernel than to remove old ones.
We are a company of 10 on GitLab CE (We selfhost via the Cloudron). Costs us ~60 a month, so it's already cheap for us. We also have a bunch of other apps on it which saves us more money.
not much. The underlying skills (linux, C/C++, scripting languages, shells, gnu toolchain, ...) have been portable across IT, Telecommunications, Automotive, Energy. I prefer evaluating what actually constitutes a skill vs learning some tool or method based on closed/proprietary standards.

Reinvention took mostly place in terms of learning the new organizational languages, terms acronyms (which mean the same thing) in these different industries (IOT in Telecoms means Interoperability Testing and existed way loner than IoT). Also I found that many organization make us believe we learn new "skills" that are of no use outside that organization.
If only there was a globally distributed untamperable ledger where we could store information...
That's behaviour that's been around since Windows 3.1. There used to be a little menu there with a few options and if you double clicked the icon it would close the window.

Don't want to deprecate your personal feeling, but maybe there are rather profane factors that can add to a struck of awe. I imagine that when you come into a big bright hall with that thing right in the middle, which is far bigger than expected and which you have seen a hundred times before on photos, it's hard not to get an awestruck feeling, no matter what kind of thing there actually is.

Oh well, it's a bit hard to discuss art if you have not the slightest sense of it like me.
How hard is it to integrate the device in a non-Windows environment? I know a couple of warehouses that might be interesting in testing the device for navigation/parts identification etc. but one of them runs on BSD and the other on Linux. I'd have to integrate with their logistics software which runs on these machines etc.

I'm assuming that's a non-issue but asking just in case anyone has played with HL in depth.
Thanks for the feedback! What kind of encryption are you thinking about (don't really know much about the topic). Do you mean secure online storage of notes and maps you make ? Or actual encoding of stored maps or https ?
I see where you're going. Why not kill TSMC and Samsung by eating their revenue source ? Well, simply because Intel's revenue source has much better margins, and it means they can grow (and invest) faster than the competition. Provided they have similar expenses (which they don't).

Also, using their advantage this way by selling at a cost might be borderline illegal (with regards to monopolistic and anti-dumping laws).
They will probably say that we live under «the tyranny of the minority» and whine that business are made expansive by following regulations that ought to make their goods/service accessible to the disabled (like every business).

On the other hand imposing gluten free/peanuts free/convservative free healthy over priced diets seem fine to them.

New tech industry seems pretty living with a double standard about what is acceptable: imposing their price on real estate/food. Being not okay to respect accessibility. There are against the tyranny of minorities unless it is them.

It seems a tad Victorian (Eugenist, hygienist and Malthusianist) to me.

> A single click on the button brings up the system menu. I never bothered about that much, because this button isn't really meant to be single clicked

I disagree here. I feel single click is more useful than the the double click to close.

Even the menu is still there if you click on the window icon in the upper left corner of the window (or the space where it would have been).

Interesting tidbit: There is even a context menu on scroll bars - no idea who would use this, but it is there.
> However there is certainly no way HN compares to the rest of the drivel out there

Shrug, that just depends on where people choose to set their standards; there are much worse fora and much better ones. As I said, I still clearly find HN comments at least worth reading, but the distinction isn't as binary as you seem to think it is.
Dave Cancel on why he never recruits product managers
I think it's fair to assume any significant HPC solution will have to be recompiled to target its runtime environment. Squeezing out every GFLOPS of a part is normal when you get an expensive specialized computer.

In that context, x86 compatibility is less of an issue than the quality of the compilers. As long as you are easier to program than a GPU, you are good.

Only if you assume that the best utilization of scarce resources is the most profitable one. Filling the same number of people's needs about as well at about the same price using several times the real estate, meaning that other people can't find anywhere to live, is less efficient for any definition of efficiency other than "what capitalism decides". People actually having homes is not the equivalent of running SETI@Home on idle computers, nor does it become a worthless waste of little or no benefit to you or society at large just because it's more profitable to keep those units empty and use them as hotels for a few months of the year.

> In the UK, the NHS has the incentive to improve its operational efficiency that it simply gets told regularly "we're cutting X billions of your budget. Deal".

The trouble with this approach is that we've reached the point where they really can't deal and are consistently blowing through their budgets and talking about refusing non-urgent referrals for months at a time, and the government is just blaming them for overruning their budgets and punishing them with even more budget cuts.

As far as I know that check-box works by analysing the mouse movement when you check it. I don't think that would work on a touch screen.
Ditto - although another old friend, alt-enter, appears to be now only intermittently supported, with some apps now using f11, or even ctrl-f, which IMHO should always be "find".

Ms have a long track record of supporting legacy interactions and interfaces - for instance, you could still use fileman and progman in win7, although by that stage it did involve installing them yourself.

I guess that the button is indeed there to make it possible to use alt+space.

It's probably not meant to be clicked. That's why it is invisible.

This is interesting, but doesn't get me too excited. Respiratory depression, whilst a perpetual issue in the the medical use of opioids, isn't necessarily a problem at the lower doses that the evidence suggests actually works. It's a problem at high doses, but those high doses don't provide significant benefits over smaller doses and are associated with hyper-sensitivity to pain and opioid tolerance.

Don't get me wrong though, respiratory depression and arrest is a real thing. I deliberately induce it as part of an anaesthetic every day.
