When I want to ride a century on a nicely paved surface, of course I reach for the Cf frame.

If I'm just heading up to the store, my $100 pawn shop bike (which funnily enough was likely stolen since just the frame sells for 100+ on eBay) will do just fine.

For even sketchier times, like riding my bike to the local bar where they have no good place to lock up or I just don't feel like carrying a heavy duty lock, my Chinese made schwinn hybrid works nicely, handles variable road conditions perfectly, and I wouldn't shed a tear if someone stole it.

Usually if you are really into bikes you have at least 3, a "nice" expensive cf bike, a fixed gear you bought a steel frame on Craigslist and turned into a fixie, and a multi speed road bike that is for shorter rides or medium commutes but will be left in a shady area for a prolonged amount of time. you could either add or replace one of the former with a mountain bike. And that's just pretty much standard, not even getting into when people start collecting biked just because they like to have them around.

Also if you are like me or any of my cyclist friends, part of your living space looks like the back of a bike shop.

Cycling is an extremely satisfying hobby, and can be very cheap if you read up on what you should buy and spend a couple weeks with a discerning eye looking through local deals.

Also getting to know your local bike shop owner will do you more good than anything else. The guy down the street from me just opened his shop with himself and his wife. And they just do it for the love. He has never ever charged me for minor tuneups or servicing, even though his time is worth at least $50/hr and I would gladly pay.

He even traded a bike of similar value for free just because it fit me better than the one I had.

But because of his generosity I have directed multiple people to buy from him instead of a big box bike store.

These people are slowly getting driven out of business due to the internet, but they offer services that the internet simply can't (yet, I am sure there is some mobile bike mechanic app in SF but I live in a different metro.)

Especially for those starting out, some advice from a skilled mechanic will go a long way and save you a lot of money and pain in the long run setting you up with the bike you need (rather than upselling something you dont,) and more importantly, saving you pain in the long wrong setting you up with a bike that fits your body.

If anyone would like advice how to get into the hobby or as to which kind of bike to buy, feel free to ask me and I would be glad to point you in the right direction.
I live in a 3BR which is currently around $2.5k/month in beautiful Brooklyn just minutes from the A, C, and G trains. Next week I'll hear back as to whether or not I also have a $1k/mo studio with yard in a well-kept brownstone at the belt of Morningside Park. Most of my friends with studios pay around $1.5k to be in either newly renovated units in not-so-hot areas (upper reaches of Harlem for example) or tiny (200 sq ft) and run down units in more hot areas such as the East Village. None of these are rent controlled or stabilized. Your numbers are the worst case– maybe what you should budget for coming from out of town and looking for a first place, but certainly not the norm if you're looking on a budget. A quick search just now shows at least a couple good listings in the $2400-2900 range for 2BR in the East Village. In my opinion the two big takeaways from these discussions are that (1) New York is what you make of it and (2) New York, due in no small part to its transit system, is bigger than just downtown or uptown Manhattan. I've never had the amenities you listed even growing up so it's likely I don't appreciate them in the same way but there's plenty of other things the city offers to make up for it.

Yes, I'm hugely impressed by how much the teams at Microsoft have accomplished in the time, and how they have managed to change the direction of the platform without making a big mess. .NET Core could never be feature-complete on version 1, and I think that the folks involved have been very candid about the fact that it may take a while longer before it is able to support everything that many real-world projects need.
The author have got many facts downright wrong: Wrights were actually very secretive and they were reluctant to publish anything before they got the patent. They were so adamant about the patent that they didn't do any public demonstration of flight for years until they were literally forced by competing claims. In those times people making claims for "heavier than air" flights were numerous and it was hard to take anyone seriously unless they do demonstration. They not only chose not to do so until they got patent but also did almost nothing to enhance their technology meanwhile. Their contribution except for first flight is very marginal and their rest of the lives are dominated by nothing but patent worries, bringing massive lawsuits on others and getting royalties. They also made a very generic patent claim essentially asserting that any system that produces lift is covered by it. This produced a lot of friction in bringing new innovations to market leaving USA significantly behind of Europe.

I admire Wrights thoroughly for their vision, hard work and making miracle happen through their miger resources but saying that no one would have noticed if they saw first airplane in air is bogus.

My Main usecase for this is movie nights. We have very sensitive neighbors and watching movies, especially ones with explosions and gunfire in them past 10pm makes them angry beyond belief, so being able to finish a movie with ~4-5 Headphones that I have stored for this purpose would make inviting friends over so much easier.

"If you're working with huge files or a huge number of files, use XFS" went the slogan.

I was hit by this recently - with our 500ish (!!) entries in /node_modules and their dependencies of dependencies of dependencies, a standard 8GB VM formatted with ext4 just simply didn't have enough inodes for us to have two copies of our app (deployment swapover). Had to increase the size to 20GB, just to get the extra inodes. XFS would have handled it much better (from testing on a parallel machine). It was inode exhaustion, though the 'disk full' error message was the same - confusing at first, as df showed 40% free space...

inodes are by the way a great topic to talk about in a job interview. People working with unix based systems should know about them, or at least encountered them once in their career.

Like I posted somewhere else in this thread, people fencing stolen goods usually list a bike that is different from, but similar to the bike (or any other item) they are selling. When contacted, they'll say they already sold that bike, but can gladly sell this other bike they have that is similar, and usually for a lower price that almost guarantees a purchase.
I've apparently used 1241165 out of 19005440, or about 6.53% on my development machine. It's not inconceivable to have 19 million files, though, if you had one per user. That's not great.

How is that number calculated? It's less than 2^25 but greater than 2^24, so I imagine it's even awkward to store. I guess that has something to do with the file table size for HDD - you can't have more nodes than you have addressable space for those nodes.

I knew Git did it for speed, but I was wondering whether it was also about the number of files that can exist in a single directory.

EDIT: Corrected percentage.
as a practical matter, NTFS used to choke at around a million files in a single directory. This practical limit may be higher now.
There seems to be no unifying subculture anymore. See, you can call a person a hippie and be mostly right.

If anything, you could call millennial an Internet user, but that is not a subculture. Other than this there seems to be no unifying force. Even in Great Depression there was one pretty well defined by Jazz and first available movies in cinemas.

Using System.Drawing from ASP.Net was never supported anyway (although much of it did work). From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.aspx

"Classes within the System.Drawing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions. For a supported alternative, see Windows Imaging Components."

I understand the votes - that piece is like being written especially for HN BUT it's only just that. It tries to extrapolate a moral story from a few convenient incidents and ignores all the rest. I.e. its method is really unscientific but it poses like such.

Some inventions seem to take long to gain traction - yes. Others though (how many compared to the first set?) gain traction immediately (e.g. lots of inventions in medicine or lots of inventions in -ehm- IT). Others still don't get on ever.

There is no easy moral here. We could derive some statistics if we had all data or some teachings per story. How your invention will be treated by the near or far future is not just a matter of newspapers and general public interest.

PS: Also -as I read in commends here- the main point seems bogus too as Wrights themselves were extra secretive about their experiments.
>Absent rent control, the lower bound of prices would go up, the ceiling would not go down.

Pretty vapid statement. The ceiling is whatever the arbitrary asking price is for something overlooking central park on the 100th floor of some high rise. Nobody cares about the ceiling.

The question is what does it do to the market price in general for a specific size apartment. It will cause a price decline because so many more apartments will actually be on the market. The current price is where supply is meeting demand so if you increase the supply the price will decline.

Of course it will screw up the people on rent control since they likely won't be able to afford it.

Tried out the Chrome plugin when RESTClient stopped working in Firefox. It stuck, and now I believe all of my small team uses it. I've been on the stand-alone version since release.

I use it for testing, but also more as a diagnostics/control panel for a software suite that we expose via a growing HTTPS API - saving the requests and payloads makes this easy.

One thing I miss from RESTClient is the formatting. We have a small JSON DSL that we exchange data with, so those strings have to be escaped going up, and of course they come back with all the escapes. In RESTClient, you could view the response "formatted", which would un-escape those strings. This made for easy copy and manipulation.

I would love to know if there are any developers out there writing for Ubuntu Touch. I got a Aquaris BQ M10 tablet and it has virtually no apps available. What comes preinstalled is anaemic and barely works. And the promised 'desktop' feature is DOA.

Do you have any plans related to visualization of clusters (i.e. cluster of places, cities, etc.) and any additional information (i.e. shapes for display radius or bounds of cluster)?
Someone posted a link in this thread about the Austin pd breaking up a bicycle theft ring.

The problem is, as with all theft, unless someone witnesses the crime as it is occurring by the time the cop gets to the scene it is too late to find the bike. Experienced thieves will scope out bikes ahead of time and have a place to stash them quickly, and even if the police do arrive quickly, are they supposed to interrogate every person on a bike to check if it is stolen?

Basically they need to focus on these theft rings that steal bikes en masse and move them to another region to sell.

I have on more than 3 or 4 times seen a truck with the bed FULL of bikes I'm talking stacked 6 feet high with a cage around the bed.

Where did all those bikes come from? And ive never seen a decent bike in the stack. Mostly children's bikes (easiest to steal as I imagine children don't secure their bikes very well) and Wal Mart beaters.
It seems quite low I think. Part of the problem is that Android is just so ubiquitous. As the article mentions "Developing for Ubuntu Touch right now is not easy, mainly because of lack of documentation and examples". Android has a million examples, libraries, first and third party documentation, a load people at Google improving the tools all the time (though this churn can also be a bad thing of course...) Canonical has less of this and the development plan seems focused on Web apps.

Another problem is that there are no Ubuntu phones currently available to buy new. The Meizu mentioned in the article is no longer sold, and installing on semi-supported hardware is flakey. For example, you can buy a Meizu phone that has Android and reflash it with Ubuntu Touch, but then future OTA updates don't work and you have to reflash each time. Devices sold on ebay might not be the so-called "international version" and therefore have a locked bootloader, you don't know until you buy one.

The way updates are handled and the community support seem much more organised than with Firefox OS though. That was a complete disaster, with the first gen ZTE phones receiving no updates at all and even the Flame (a developer device) being pretty much abandoned right away. At least Canonical keep pushing OTAs for the official BQ and Meizu devices, and builds for Nexus devices are still produced so you can flash it on semi-common hardware if you're feeling brave.

I know it's easy to say and very difficult to do, but really what Canonical need is a phone that has some long-term availability. You often hear Alan Pope on podcasts use the excuse that it is not Canonical's problem that devices are not being sold, it is up to the manufacturers. But if there are no devices to buy then how is UT ever going to gain any real traction?
If I remember correctly the Wright Brothers were secretive. They were trying to perfect the Flyer to get a military contract and didn't want to publicize the advances they were making. They didn't invite anyone to see the initial test flights. At the time, the French were getting much more/better press for doing less. Without the press reports no one believed they were actually flying.

Wilbur and Orville Wright made their historic first powered flight on December 17, 1903, from Kill Devil Hill in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The longest of four flights that day lasted 59 seconds and covered a distance of 852 feet. There were few witnesses to the flights and no reporters

I disagree, there is too much in the framework which ends up stuck there for ever, bloating the whole system.

System.Drawing is a good example, if you read the msdn docs it is clearly not supported on ASP.Net or from a Windows Service.

The benefit to a code lock for me over a box with a code that holds the keys is there's no key to lose nor any key to forget to return. I don't even have to carry the key when I go out. One less (three less?) things to worry about. I actually locked myself out of the last AirBnb I was at. I forgot the key and while that meant I didn't lock the door to the apartment there was also an automated door to the building. Going out it auto-opens, going in it requires a key. I just sat in front of the building for 30 minutes until someone else opened the door.

I've stayed at about 15 AirBnBs, most of them I didn't have to meet the owner. But, also most of them used a lock box with a code instead of just a door code lock.

That's because the 1903 Wright Flyer was barely able to fly a few hundred feet. It was just a proof of concept for stability. The 1904 Flyer II was able to circle and fly for about five minutes. The 1905 Flyer III crashed a few times, and then they reworked the controls and were able to fly 24 miles.

At last, they had a minimum viable product. In 1907 they came out with the Wright Model A, which was the production version of the improved Flyer III. This had a range of 125 miles, and was the first production aircraft.
I came to the same conclusion about sharding files from the get go. I had a similar experience where my host wouldn't accept to synchronize a directory with more than 5000 files in it. (Software producing the files is my own note-taking application where each page is stored as an individual file to speed up backup of only the pages that changes).

This makes it sound an awful lot like these sites are knowingly - or at least with a Lucille Bluth wink - catering to people fencing stolen goods.

I don't have much experience with Qt, although I had done a few toy applications since the early KDE 2.0 days with it.

The last attempt was a small mobile app for Android/WP that I ended up rewriting in Java,C++/CX + C++11, because of the issues I had with Qt 5.4.

However I still follow the announcements and get the feeling that they are trying to re-purpose Qt in the same way that JavaFX, WPF/XAML and mobile OS UI stacks have done, but it is still catching up with their feature sets.

> I seem to forget only one vital password per year

For me, it helps to enter the passwords from time to time. The easiest way to do this is to reboot.

If you have moral issues with rebooting a system where rebooting is not necessary, maybe run just the password checker, e.g. by unlocking a second volume that has the same password, or something.
Brings back memories of the old DOS days, when there was quite a low limit on the number of files that you could store in the root directory. I can't remember the exact numbers, but it lead to my early habits of creating a new sub directory for every little thing so nowadays (over 3 decades later) nearly everything I need is at least 5 levels deep! ;)

And by 2016, 6 hours still.
