>planets are orbiting around center of gravity, which is outside of sun..

The only planet with a barycenter with the sun outside it's radius is Jupiter. And that only slightly. (with an altitude of 0.07 of the sun's radius)

The earth-sun barycenter is 0.0006 times the sun's radius from it's _center_
Proprietary software is not by definition "user-hostile," and hyperbole like this does much more harm than good to people like me who would like to see more open source and less proprietary software in the world simply as a matter of principle.

Ah, ATV. I know a lot of tech people in town who will not touch that place with a 10 foot pole. Might partially be because it is in Buckhead which is a very pretentious neighborhood. Lots of men buttoned up shirts, suits, women in pencil skirts, people getting cosmetic surgery etc. and everything is about image. ATV has a similar vibe, and if you look at who gets the majority of the press it's not the tech people, it's the marketing and business ones.

Hell the non-tech founder of it said at one point that Ruby is really easy and with a small amount of training a founder should have the skills necessary to create a startup. That is not someone who values tech or the skills that go into it. So if your an engineer why would you go somewhere where there is a good chance that a marketing/business type will take the credit for your work and ideas, probably try to take more of your equity than they would in Silicon Valley? And with all of that Atlanta companies do not have exits that are even close to what we see in the valley.
It was also personal and political, not just scientific or religious. There were, of course, people that were opposed to Galileo publishing because of his models (whether for religious or scientific reasons), but there were also (and perhaps more critically) people that were against his model being published because of Galileo.
AFAIK you'll have to have a GPL your code right? If you want to keep the source closed, then you'll have to get a commercial license which costs money. Can you refer me to where you saw that you can use Qt for free with being able to keep your source closed? (you still can monetize open source programs so there's that)

Or are you referring to LGPL?
Easy to say. Hard to implement consistently. It takes only one failure for the whole thing to fall apart; once it's fallen apart, every comment you run across becomes suspect, making the value of the comments a net negative.
Those of us who have had failed startups can tell you that pats on the back and community support help. The Hype Machine would have you believe that failure is opportunity, and that you get a chip on your shoulder when you fail; but failure means failing (grade F in the US) and it hurts. A lot.

They mentioned that they will be releasing more post-mortems later. For now, I'm comfortable with supporting them and hearing about their learning later.

The RethinkDB team built an amazing product that many people appreciated - as noted by the comments here- and for that they have my praise and admiration. The fact that the product will continue without the business is also noteworthy. Well done all

PLOS One is relatively minor-leagues as far as biomed journals go.

Hate for impact factors, while perhaps fully justfied, doesn't remove the fact that people act like they matter, and an impact factor of 3.2 is ten times less than Nature or Cell or Science.
I disagree with some of these points. Specifically, programmers should necessarily be left unable to understand everything they use. Packaging systems are excellent for providing you with functionality without the mental cost of having to understand how that functionality works. They're not a distraction, they're how people get things done.

And Lua is not a great first language. If you know how to use it, it's a great language; but its 1-indexing, tiny standard library, inability to distinguish between hashmaps and arrays, confusing "metatables", and lack of external libraries really make it tough for me to recommend as a first lang.

This comes from someone who used LuaJIT often with Love2D to prototype games.
A demonstration that DRACO works in pig cells for a problematic virus, which you should take as less convincing than the existing in vivo mouse studies, but was carried out by another research group not directly affiliated with the original developer:

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00705-015-2392-4

DRACO, double-stranded RNA activated caspase oligomerizer, is a broadly applicable antiviral technology that has been under development at a slow pace for quite some time now. You might recall some publicity back in 2011, for example, but that marked the results of years of earlier work. DRACO attacks infected cells, not the viruses themselves, following the principle of finding a common vulnerability to target rather than trying to tailor therapies to every different variety of attacker. Despite technology demonstrations to show effectiveness against a broad range of very different types of virus, and the fact that this technology can in principle be applied to near any type of virus, there is next to no ongoing funding for DRACO. It stands as an example of the fact that you can build a better mousetrap and still have the world ignore you. In this case DRACO is languishing despite grave concerns regarding spreading viral resistance to existing drugs, and billions devoted to constructing new drugs that are just more of the same.

Advocacy and philanthropy are often the only ways forward for a new medical technology that is a radical departure from the present status quo. This is a lesson to keep in mind when we talk about the various branches of medical research. It is hard to obtain funding in the life sciences in any meaningful fashion, and the organization of funding for any ongoing serious effort has become a baroque effort involving many players, all of whom are operating with perverse incentives that only serve to slow down progress and make funding less effective on a dollar for dollar basis. For example the large funding bodies are extremely risk-averse, and thus almost never fund the most important early-stage and high-risk projects, the science that is actually science, at the forefront and involving new discoveries. These funding bodies only ever put money into ongoing development wherein which the researchers can already demonstrate proof of concept and an understanding of the mechanisms involved. Getting to that point for any new line of research requires creative accounting and the help of philanthropic donations, and even so there is far too little actual science taking place in major laboratories.
Tab nabbing: an ingenious phishing vector
I added a function to my bash that forces me to do pushups every 30 minutes (by turning off my monitor and keyboard). https://gist.github.com/jerel/1fc7686263c9427522f945f755e0a7... An hour after I start work in the morning a cron job reminds me to start a terminal and run `work 8` (or however many pushups I want to do that day). I do the pushups on my knuckles to avoid aggravating my wrists.

I also have a Kinesis Advantage keyboard, go to a good chiropractor, and do cycling. All of which seems to contribute to a (nearly) pain free existence.
So you care more about having the entire pie, than about how much pie you have?

If you have a license that "permits" commercial sales in a way that by design makes most business models completely unfeasible... guess what? You'll only get contributions from those with one of the handful of blessed business models. Which will work or not depending on what sorts of businesses models your project is suited for.

Copyleft works fine for things like the kernel that are complementary to tons of different expensive things and nobody cares about otherwise. Permissive works well for Postgres.
Yes, exactly. That’s how it’s supposed to be: Everything is killed by default, and you have to elevate it with systemd-run to make it work properly.

Allowing any process to linger around by default is just stupid, which is why "Or just add 'KillUserProcesses=no' to /etc/systemd/logind.conf." is as horrible advice as "just add your own user to the root group".

Honestly, Follow any of the mainstream languages you will be alright.

When I began programming I had this exact question myself, and deep down the actual question was "what language is the easiest to learn and is there a language that will not make me quit because its too frustrating?".

I think becoming a programmer means you have to be able to handle a lot of disappointment, and you should be able to deal with the fact that you have to constantly learn (you asking this question on HN means you are going on the right path, it means have that explorer inside you). You will have to deal with frustrations and to do something over and over again until you have perfected it. (this is why I think a lot of us see programming as an art)

So learn any programming language, build the smallest thing you can imagine, start with a hello world, make a calculator, make a text based game, etc etc and keep going until you are fed up of programming and want to take up farming instead.

And one more thing, please don't think memorizing syntax is going to make you a great programmer, great programmers program, they make things and they make more things. Make things and never stop.

All the best.

I didn't say not to prepare. :) Just defining the terms. Ie, a "good" chance is 50/50. I think knowing that might influence how you prepare, how you go into it mentally -- and most importantly how you process a rejection if that's the outcome you get.
Not always. Plain english is quit inexact and relies on a lot of implicit context to convey exact meaning (just ask Lawyers).

Ah, you're pretty strictly keto then. I try to follow keto and have had good success with it, but after a month of strict 20 grams of carbs or less, I've relaxed it a bit and I often creep up to 30 or 40 net grams of carbs a day.

Still feeling great and losing weight, although perhaps I'd lose a bit faster if I remained stricter about it. I'm also not diabetic, although my A1C numbers were getting close to prediabetes levels before I started the diet. I expect that to drop the next time I get my blood checked, though.

> the hijab stands out as a symbol of oppression

I agree that many people in the West have made it a symbol (that was a major point of what I wrote). And I strongly agree that women should wear what they want.

But I think that by making it a symbol, we create more problems:

* It's become part of the narrative used by hateful and scared people to promote the dangerous, oppressive prejudice against Muslim people. Inflaming that evil is dangerous and leads directly to harm for a very large number of people.

* Many people feel so strongly about the symbol that now they impose their view of the hajib on the same women, forcing them not to wear it (which is law now in some places in the West). That's no better than forcing them to wear it.

Everyone needs to stop telling women what to wear. Hyping up this symbol isn't helping, it's doing more harm.

> Yes, it happens in the West too, albeit to a much lesser degree, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call it out when it happens elsewhere.

I agree on all points.
Qt is LGPLv3, not only GPL afaik?

That's kind of the point -- even if you prepare well, your chances are only 50/50, so don't be too disappointed if you don't make it.
It is also worth noting that Galileo had a very big mouth and had many enemies. The publishing of this work was a perfect opportunity for them to pounce. It wasn't so much the church hating science as much people hating Galileo and using the church to an end.

I recommend that before going to the gym and picking up the heaviest thing you can lift - focus on your core for a good 3 months. Do crunches (properly) and plank every day. When your core is more stable, then do indeed go pick up some heavy stuff (with proper form and a spot of course!).
I'm not saying it's a perfect solution. It's better than what we have today and that is all we really can ask for at any given time.

If you have a pile of raw iron and you're currently running your own smelt for cost savings over the other remodelers, maybe even though you are in the remodeling business you could use those skills.

I agree though that contracting is by far the best way to grade performance. But the Google style interview is the only reasonable alternative I know of to filter out people who don't actually know the technologies they are talking about and can fake it with other people's code for months.
But India does have a problem with excessive competition keeping wages low. The rest of the EU might actually be better off with fewer countries in it (e.g. without Greece). Measures to keep the US population stable rather than growing could be beneficial.

And there are obviously political considerations. Nobody is going to let you carve up national borders over this, so we're stuck with the existing borders even if that isn't 100% perfectly optimal. Estimating the optimal size is going to be at the "orders of magnitude" level anyway.
From the guidelines:

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

The median household income in the US in 1980 was $17,000 (compared to $53,000 today).

Spending $3000 on a computer in 1980 is the equivalent of spending $9,000 today.

Like you said, you could get a really nice used car for that.
most managers end up doing so much recruiting on their own that I'd be surprised if many of them did not already have this "premium" feature.
My posture improved and my occasional back pain went away entirely after I added "roman chair"[1] to my exercise routine. This is a machine at the gym where you lie on a pad a few feet off the floor and your legs are held in place, and you raise your upper body by contracting your lower back. Reading online now that it can be dangerous if you're too gung ho about it, so do it without weights at first. There are also a lot of other lower back exercises like deadlifts, etc, but this one works best for me.

I like dealing with this stuff through exercise because it avoids the annoyance of having to remind myself to sit a certain way or buying special chairs or desks.

well-behaved site plugins (such as kopf) have always been able to run as a standalone app in the browser - either from a folder on your disk of from a stupid webserver. All it needed was a working CORS config on the ES cluster.

It's always been a good idea to deploy them in that way - no need to have the plugin on each node, easier version upgrades, access to multiple clusters etc. So basically, not much changed.
The idea that science and religion are distinct spheres, or even things that might be in opposition to each other, has been so thoroughly established in our modern consciousnesses that it's easy to forget that in the past they didn't really make such a distinction.
A lot of the comments on the linked site, are disappointed (shall we say) at lack of night photographs, as they believe it is the low light conditions that the new iPhones are really quite impressive (so claiming the Pixel is #1 annoys them).

For the record, I've never owned an iPhone, and am very interested in seeing how the Pixel works out, but I just thought I'd mention the comments in case anyone had missed them..!
Salesforce has successfully deployed multitenancy SaaS at a huge scale, and they have all tenants sharing the same tables. Every row in every table has an Organization-ID column and all queries include the Org Id to keep the data separated. They built their SaaS on top of Oracle RDBMS but are now using PostgreSQL in some not yet publicized way.

Google for Salesforce multitenant architecture
and you will find several presentations/videos where they explain much of this architecture. IMHO this is required reading for anyone designing any sort of multitenant SaaS because you are less likely to make disastrous mistakes when you can compare your solution to a known successful solution, and explain where your solution differs and why.
The sources I mentioned are the place where people get published. So first strategy is go to skip media and reach out for original sources. I know reading a paper can be a nightmare, so you can read a featured review articles in those journal. For example these articles.

https://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.117...

https://physics.aps.org/articles/v9/111

If you have hard time picking up which one to read, then you can use number of citations as a measure to decide what deserve your attention. If you stick to your own area of expertise, then you if it is correct or not. You can check educational background and previous work to decide the validity of their present work.

Research done in physics are not personal opinions. Mathematics speaks for itself. So I don't think that you will ever encounter media bias if you stick to reputed people from reputed journal.

As per finding book recommendations, you can refer back to your current or favorite textbooks to find what those author ask you to read further. You can watch public lectures of your favorite physicist or visit their website to find out their recommendations. Feynman Lectures is the most popular book among new comers of physics students. So I am assuming you know about it. He has given several book recommendation in between the book.

http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu

Another approach for validity of article it to refer to comment section and evaluate how heated or constructive is the debate following the article. Look for previous article by same author to see if he just expresses controversial to have more clicks.

For long time, I have been following this list for book recommendation. Inside these books have recommendation for my next book.

Since you ask for my personal opinion, so I would recommend reading this book. And you know what it is freely hosted on MIT website. It is What is life by Erwin Schrödinger.
