This is a cool concept, but the triangle idea is more effort than it's worth IMO. Having to have a way to communicate between the two triangles plus having separate batteries for both, not to mention the weirdness of losing one of them, makes the product needlessly more complex. Having one device with two headphone outputs is much easier to build IMO.
From a third world perspective, it is taught in high school but I rarely know anyone who gets interested in it after graduating, much less retain the knowledge that they learned.

I do not see any feature in Insomnia that's not already in Postman. Am I missing something?

Edit: I do not mean to undermine the effort, just wondering if Postman users have any incentive to switch.
Sounds like you should make a side project which will post to HN on your behalf at an arbitrary time. I think the first trial post should be about the project itself.
Thanks for the correction! I missed the edit window for my comment, or I would have noted it there.

My personal experience after using it probably thousands of times is that a quick peroxide rinse seems to do some good, and has never done any apparent harm when followed up with a liquid bandage - at least on the kind of very minor cut we're talking about here. All the cuts I've treated this way have healed quickly and cleanly.

But I'll certainly defer to the experts before advising others on this. And rubbing alcohol is of course very bad news!

I don't understand the down votes happening here. This is clearly an ingrained facet of Western politics and society.

Why else would minority groups be over represented in prisons and below the poverty line, generally lower educated, generally compensated at a lower level than white male counterparts of the same skill and education level.

Coincidentally because of an inherent superiority of white males? I don't fucking think so.
Great question. Insomnia is still pretty early, so the feature set is limited, but all the basics are there. Most users coming from Postman comment on the great UI/UX of Insomnia.
My two cents - I got a BS in math and an MS in stats. A ton of this stuff is really hard and takes a lot of time to understand, and it really does help to have a bunch of time to dedicate to it, a professor to guide you, and friends to try problems with. It also really helps to be exposed to a good order to learn stuff (for example I'd suggest tons of functional analysis, then prob, then stats, then finally ML)

But once this stuff clicks it becomes very easy to teach yourself. I've been learning stuff like quantum algorithm, network analysis, etc.

Market effeciency concepts have to do with incorporating information into a (well defined) market. Breaking the logic sequence of "well defined market", which can be done with trivial levels of "real world complexity", is problematic for EMH. This means you cant use EMH as a sort of backward logic to defend the status quo.

As to the concept of a market externality, I'm not sure I understand the question. If you just mean "uncaptured incentives", well surely there are myriads. But the bigger point is that this is not a simple solution. You cannot re-solve the maths as per a case of omitted variable bias.

The reason that this is so may be intuively grasped with an example. Let us posit that rent-seeking is a behavioral consequence of 'opportunistic' principals. And that rent seeking public policy architects are inevitable, because our politician is opportunistic (qua politician--behavioral assumption).

OK, but now I've just made mess for EMH, and this is why EMH has an 'H' in its name. Because general economic theory requires that we assume away several things we just introduced. And if you understand EMH you understand why having opportunistic, strongly authorized, unrestrained public policy makers is a problem. Namely, (1) they hold private information (outside emh); and (2) they are free to play zero-sum dynamic games with market participants; and (3) they can charge economic rents by implementing a 'protection racket' scheme whereby donor/lobbyists avoid (large) zero-sum losses by taking (smaller) zero-sum losses that benefit the policy holder (so called diversions).
Ehh I think you're a bit unreasonable. Even LCD displays take a few seconds to turn on. Power on any recent LCD from cold and it takes a while to boot. Resuming from a S3 state (or whatever the LCD equivalent is) even takes a second or two.

As for the sync issue, yeah I don't have it. Sorry that your gear is crud. Cannot reproduce. Most soundbars can adjust the audio delay if you're having sync issues.

I have a X930D and the picture is great (albeit bright in standard mode). In Cinema Pro it's pretty accurate. I couldn't tell much difference between the "tuned settings" from AVS and such vs Cinema Pro.

I think the solution is to lock the event early in the week and close the airstrip. That would mean if you want to be there for the weekend, you have to drive there (from Reno, at least) and stay at least 5 days in the desert. Those that want comfort and convenience need to get the message that Burning Man isn't for them and yet Burning Man should still be inclusive to everyone who's willing to embrace the principles behind it.

But I'm also extremely sympathetic to the vandals if the stories of bouncers are true. My favorite part of the years that I went was wandering into random camps and starting conversations with strangers. I met a lot of amazing people and still call some of them friends. There was something about Burning Man that allowed people to discard social conventions which keep people separated that was truly magical. If this aspect of the festival has been lost, or is being lost, I can see a lot of people being justifiably angry at the people responsible for that change.

You need to be rich or have a rent-subsidized apartment to retire in Manhattan.

I love Manhattan. I've lived here for 4 years. But I'd never consider retiring here unless I was rich enough to have a nice apartment (minimum $3,000/month for anything decent). Even then I'm not too sure I'd stay here because the little things do wear down on you - the dirty smelly overcrowded streets, subway stations that are as hot as saunas in the summer, ghetto/homeless people everywhere, constant obnoxiously loud sirens, shabby old infrastructure and housing stock, etc.

But I do love the fact that you don't need a car, and there's an energy to this city that I haven't experienced anywhere else. I just don't like when people use this as an excuse to ignore its weaknesses. It's 2016 and most people here live in old tenement buildings.
Whatever. This is a corporate vanity project (easy to spot because the logo is better than the code) with 5-, 6-, and 11-month old PRs hanging around.

Clearly this library is setting the world on fire. Meanwhile if you want slow pointy clicky chartjunk for your PHB you can probably use your company's Tableau license, and if you want to push the envelope you use d3.

I've been using d3 on and off since 2011. It started from a spare, elegant idea and progressed to the point that almost anything I might wish to implement has at least some pieces already written in some obscure blocks.org block.

I find that pretty damned impressive given that many of my interests were research projects abandoned in the 90s and only just now beginning to come back. (yes, there were smart people back then, too; they all seemed to have SGIs)
"my ego is taking a big hit"

Your ego, your wants, your desires, how others see you, how you see others, is all an illusion, a covering.

You are a spark of light, like every other.

You wear this ego like clothes.

Your dying ego would take your spark of light within it, than to die alone.

My ego is also an illusion.

A spark of light resides within me.

My ego is also a covering.

I have a 6 figure job. I have good friends. I'm good with my family. I have lots of savings.

But none of these things matter.

I can be homeless, and be just as satisfied.

All it matters is, I know there's a spark of light inside me.

A spark of light identical to yours.

Let your ego die, let the spark of light shine through.

For you are not your ego.

Your ego is dying, and I can see you so clearly.

Light is here, and ego is there.

Build a new ego. This time, it's not your master.

It is your slave.

You have $2000 more dollars than every other homeless person on the street.

Your ego waits for your command.

What will it do to safeguard the spark of light?

U.S. History is not going to 'forget' white men. If you want non white history, there are plenty of countries books you could read.

So based on their github and some searching with google, historically they didn't have much of an end-of-life policy, because there were no bugfix releases for v1.x.x after v2 came out, and no bugfix releases for v2.x.x after v3 came out:

v3.0.0 - 2013-08-19

v3.0.0 RC1 - 2013-07-27

v2.3.2 - 2013-07-27

v2.3.1 - 2013-03-01

v2.0.0 - 2012-01-31

v1.4.0 - 2011-11-03

v1.3.0 - 2011-09-16

With major version 4 still being in alpha, there are concurrent releases of 3 going on still, but based on their previous releases, I don't expect a v3 bugfix release after 4.0.0.

Heh, someone was fussing about the price of a hard copy today on Twitter.

No dispute that Wilkinson's ideas deeply influenced all sane graphics frameworks thereafter. In fact SPSS' purchase of SYSTAT was (by far) the best thing they ever did, and that's why people still use that awful piece of garbage.

However, Hadley Wickham spent a lot of time thinking through which parts still made sense, and which didn't, in implementing ggplot2. That book is free online, as are Bostock's notes.

I heartily recommend all three, but if money is an issue you can get the latter two for a lot less than a copy of TGoG.

Funfact: Wilkinson started this by selling SYSTAT to SPSS, got bored, eventually went to Tableau (seems to have worked out nicely for them) and now is at h2o. As much as I despise SPSS from having taught classes that use it, I admire their business sense and wish I'd owned equity in them prior to IBM buying the company.

H2O might not be a bad investment either (I've been wrong plenty of times though).

I actually agree with you: basic calculus should not be studied in college. It belongs in high school, and should be a required prerequisite for college admission.
Discrete mathematics (with Rosen or Epps as the text) is usually explicitly a required course in CS programs, often a prereq for Algorithms.

Calculus does usually build some mathematical maturity for those who haven't encountered it. And it's useful as an introduction to sequences and series, and for anyone interested in numerical analysis or physics simulation (e.g., computational science, modeling, game engine development, etc.).

Not to mention having it is useful if you find that you'd rather do computer engineering or EE halfway through your undergrad career (though this last point is tangential at best).

I do wish linear algebra was a more commonly required course in CS programs.

It builds Swift without any standard library, runtime or linkage to other components. This isn't normally possible with the Swift compiler.

The solution doesn't involve changing the compiler or building everything into the executable. Instead, this is a makefile coordinated pipeline (front-end swiftc, back-end clang) plus a start.s and a system.c file that omit any need for typical standard library components in the first place.

Visualizing TFL Accident Data
This was the most useful comment in this thread. Am now on #startups.
An interesting article, but I would say this is one that is better showcased to, say, a primary school audience rather than the HN crowd perhaps? The writing style and concepts were a little too simplistic and lacked the depth I would expect from the publications I normally see linked on here.

Note: But even for a younger audience, I would do some serious editing of the text (e.g. misuse of "concurred" instead of "conquered" etc.) before publication.
True, which is why we haven't ignore this and are hoping to add features like scope hoisting (and personally I'd love to pass the AST program that webpack's parser creates right in to closure compiler js to see how "advanced" it can compiler) and other features. Because in the end, the api possibilities that webpack provides for plugins makes the tool limitless.

These stories are quite interesting but at the same time what are they suggesting? An investor wants you to spend your whole life chasing a dream because they don't care if it fails and get paid if it succeeds. If you love doing something, do it regardless of what people think. But don't let an investor convince you to waste years working on something that nobody wants because that is what all successful entrepreneurs do. In a few cases it works out but the vast majority of the time it doesn't.

best comment from the page: "If history forgot.....why are we reading about it? Why can I find countless accounts of this online? Why are their books talking about? TV interviews? Print articles? Etc etc.

Nobody forgot - a low level of interest is not akin to history forgetting. I guess that wouldn't make for such a dramatic headline though!"

It's true. Some media article is always telling us how we're bad and we forgot. Except we didn't. And our textbooks at least since the 80s have had this kind of content in them.

One of the nice things about making composition easily available and accessible (if not a first class part of your language's syntax or standard library) is that developers will naturally tend to break their functions up into smaller, reusable, composable parts.

And despite the fact that functions like `comp`, `map`, `reduce` and functions as values tend to be the takeaway of "functional programming" when glommed onto imperative languages—despite the fact that they are tools, rather than the essence, of FP—when they're easy to grab and use, developers do tend to write more pure and more easily maintained code.

There's stuff I don't like about underscore/lodash type libraries (most notably they put the `data` argument in the wrong place, which harms comparability!), but their prevalence absolutely encourages better practices in less hospitable languages like JS.
If this technique became common, malware would just switch to another approach to determine if it had already infected a machine. It's a cat and mouse game where the cost of defense is much higher than the cost of attack.
As someone self-studying measure theory right now, I completely agree on the quality of math textbooks for more esoteric subjects. It's like the authors expect the books to only be used in conjunction with TAs or classes.

Any advice on how to use those textbooks the best way?
OSX can do this already with aggregate sound devices. I'm frankly surprised not to see it in IOS. I just kind of figured it would be there if I ever wanted it.

Seems like a product with a market, but it takes guts to develop considering the precedent exists already in OSX and your business is just one little IOS feature-update away from getting hosed.

Edit: Yes the world is bigger than the fruit-themed-brand, but generally as goes IOS, so goes Android.
