Apple musics is very friendly, though I haven't talked to them about technical issues.

The app, at least on Android, is very immature, though.

Isn't it a bit odd?
I just thought about the server implementation. This is simply not dueable. IRC servers are ment to run thousands of users, caching messages would be awful.
Err... that's not how an efficiency rate works.

If it takes you 30% of the initial energy to get to the heat->electricity phase, then the heat->electricity phase receives 70% of the initial energy. From that point, a 35% efficient transfer means 24.5% efficiency from the initial energy.
The article describes how Japanese children are socialized. They are taught to become independent off their parents at an early age. They learn to rely on they local social network.

We in the west understand may independence differently. With our western eyes we seen transfer of dependence on family to social community not as we would expect more becoming an individual.

There are few cultures like the Japanese that have such close social links to their peers at adult age. These differences seem to be cultured at an early age.

Helicopter parenting is certainly damaging in the long run. The Japanese approach also has some long term implications. It is worth looking at other alternatives too. In the end we are responsible for our choices.
I'm sorry, i didn't explain it very well, i'll definitely fix that.
Basically the problem was, that we had a lot of groceries in large amounts while the ones we needed weren't there at all.
If we went shopping we mostly forgot to check what we already have and bought even more of the things we already had, forgetting the stuff we needed.

The Project therefore is a simple tool to scan your products and keep a list of the things you have (with the amount).
If you're on your way to the grocery store and you realise, that you don't really know if you need this or that product, you can simply VPN into your home network and check the stuff you have at home.

Did this make it any clearer ?
This is where Jesus comes in: We must get everyone mature and not be greedy.

Also my favorite, Epicurus: Epicureanism: Having enough wealth that is enough to get you your Freedom is enough. More that that won't make you happy. Instead you'll need two more things: Friends and "time for Self understanding".

RAM is more expensive than SSDs but it's still very cheap at roughly $5 per GB. Higher density 32GB DIMMs cost only a bit more at $7 per GB. You can buy terabytes of RAM for a few thousand dollars.

assuming obama has a interest doing this ...
Well, they initially only released a custom BIOS with a goto statement added to jmp out of the disk controller mode setting (which is normally present and allows the user to change back to AHCI mode). Reverse engineers on the Lenovo forums discovered this modification while studying the disassembly.

Then, one user patched the BIOS and manually reflashed it using an SPI flasher and some soldering, and Linux worked just fine by detecting the drive.

Yes, the ideal solution is that Intel gives specs to OSS devs to build a driver (or even builds on themselves), but the path of least resistance is to have Lenovo unblock that BIOS setting, which amounts to changing one line of code, or 15 minutes of one engineer's time.
All of Japan is smaller than California, with a population 3x as high. It's much easier to go from "do it one place" to do it everywhere in a country like that.
Republicans control the House and Senate.

And Trump isn't going to veto conservative signature pieces like repealing ObamaCare.

I did a one week ml stunt last year: https://medium.com/learning-new-stuff/machine-learning-in-a-...

I'd recommend starting with the Kaggle Bag of Words tutorial.
on the FDA side, this is enlightening:

"Each drug is estimated to cost $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion in cash outlays per approved biopharmaceutical"

This particular problem means that lots of very promising cancer drugs never see the light of day.

For example for Neuroblastoma there is an approved drug called dinutuximab https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-drug.... This is the only approved drug for treating pediatric cancers that was approved in the last 10-20 year.

Meantime significantly more potent (and possibly effective) drugs are in clinical trials, eg: Hu-3F8 at MSKCC. But... given the cost and enormous amount of red tape needed to get the drug approved (combined with very small market) odds of them getting approved in the next 10 years are not that high.

Something needs to change, but I am not sure exactly what.

8 Beauty Habits That Causing Wrinkles – MODELS MANAGEMENT – MODELS STARS
No it doesn't, don't be ridiculous. 'Why is this getting voted up when I've never heard or the company' was my reaction to seeing it when skimming the top links this morning. It being a female founder helps answer that question without implying anything else other than what you willfully project onto others.
It's a reasonably fair argument I believe. Yes, I can still live with them fine, but that's beside the point, isn't it? It's a fair question and deserve a fair answer. People must've gone through some sort of thinking, pros and cons before cast their vote unless they already made up their mind and turning a blind eye on troulbed personal traits. Are you not agree? Do you offer any explanation or answer that would enlighten us?
When you converse with people don't just listen to tell them where they are wrong. That's the biggest issue. You already have an idea what s/he will say, so you just wait for them to finish so you can explain how wrong they are. There are feelings behind those opinions. And don't dare to tell me (or yourself) that smart people think only logically and are unaffected by their feelings. You are, so don't be so quick to dismiss people with different feelings than yours.

Listen, really listen to them and think why do they have this opinion. What feelings are behind it. This is how you have a conversation with a person and not a lecture.
this is very cool!

quick question - why did you decide to build your own rather than use an infrastructure like Ethereum.

We were thinking of leveraging Ethereum (with a consensus protocol) to build a database that can be shared between a few competitors that are in our ecosystem.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

P.S. I'm not a blockchain expert.

Yes, i thought about that in the beginning too.
The problem i had was, that if a product isn't already in the database (outpan), you have to enter the name to add it.

I really dislike capacitive displays, especially writing on them and i think a onscreen keyboard is also really annoying.

Right now i have a keyboard which has a little touchpad, to get rid of the separate mouse.

But i also would prefer a touchscreen. Being spoiled from the nice keyboards on smartphones and tablets, i couldn't live with a PC onscreen keyboard.
Not sure why not, ... my iPhone can be an access point.
Children in Japan going about their lives with no adult supervision (usually in small groups) is one of cutest things I've seen.

That this happens in places like Tokyo and Osaka is even more impressive given the size of those cities.

A large part of that is made possible by community support. If something goes wrong there's usually an adult nearby ready to help.
Thanks, the printer is an Objet30 3D Printer.

My raspberry 1 was totally unstable and corrupted itself in the order of days. Therefore I wouldn't even be most concerned about hard drive reliability in this case.

I don't care about getting paid. I don't care if I am doing it at home or in the interviewer's premises.

Don't let me connect to internet. I'll also leave my phone with you just to make sure I don't have access to the internet. I don't mind taking the time away from current employment to go through the process.

BUT PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE THOUGH WHILE I AM AT IT. FOR GOD'S SAKE DON"T SIT NEXT TO ME AND TALK TO ME OR EXPECT ME TO TALK TO YOU WHILE I AM SOLVING THE PROBLEM !!!

Let's discuss the solution or the non-solution AFTER I have spent some alone time with the problem. I don't mind getting rejected AFTER I have made a serious attempt at it.

It is simply beyond me why people think it's all right for a complete stranger to sit next to a programmer while he is trying to solve a problem under the significant cognitive load of a new environment, new people possibly a laptop/keyboard he has never used.

This did sound like a rant :-/ but what I wanted to say was that the process in the article seems fair enough. Interviewees should be given the alone time to solve the problem.

Most people are decent and sociable enough that once they are one board and are comfortable and familiar with the rest of the team they will be able to function and be reasonable in pair programming envoirnment or other technical discussions as well. BUT not when they are in an interview. No matter how it is sugar coated, interview is where a programmer is getting JUDGED and that by default leads to pressure.
Oh, sry.
Definitely will add that soon.

Basically it's just the screen put in the case and all the other stuff stuck inside the case.
We have an extension to the take home done paired on site that usually involves significant refactoring. If you don't have a clear understanding of the code you're sunk. Plus the presentation should weed out the most egregious cheats. I also strongly suspect that developers that can't solve the task well will mainly have friends that also can't solve the task well. If someone had skilled developers invested in them doing well I suspect they are most likely a skilled developer.
> why I am opposed to ANY govt funding of science. Its not a proper function of govt.

So who should fund science? Industry? They won't fund any science. They will fund research into engineering and technology. But they won't fund basic science. Furthermore expecting industry funded research to be unbiased is like expecting turkeys to vote for a second Christmas.

I really love this Elm drama. We get to discuss Elm a lot, talk about it, think about it, keep it in out minds. I don't like negativity, but it is good to popularize language, to let people know about it.

EDIT I am interested are you downvoting because you (1) think I am wrong, or (2) don't like that it contains adverts, or (3) don't mind it containing adverts and think that this is irrelevant?
> I think we should admit it. If you are rich and in tech, well of course you want to disrupt, you want to carry on that gravy train. But what about everyone else that exists? Not everyone can retrain. Even though retraining is a huge undertaking here. It's simply not going to happen.

So what is going to happen? I happen to live in Germany where the Government is trying to regulate disruption in all sorts of areas, mostly digital-related. You cannot get rich by isolating your country economically, it's been tried hundreds of times in history and never succeeded. You get rich by innovating and improving, and global competition is the best way we have to make sure our economy is competitive.
When I was a kid in Iraq (1990~) going to school by yourself was very natural. Our school was nearby so we walked every day. Other kids took the bus.

The only thing amusing in the article is how Americans are amused by this.

I remember on my first day to school my mom took me there, but she didn't come to take me home. I was one of the few kids that cried because my mom wasn't there. Later, I felt embarrassed by that.

Our school organized some kind of a school trip about once or twice a year. I was the odd kid whose parents would not let him go on the trip. For everyone else, it was a natural part of school that they looked forward to.

Needless to say, the parents do no join the kids for the trip.
Ha :) "Or drawing UML diagrams (Here's a secret; no one does this.)"

Question: do they still insist on UML at university? I remember they did for me, and with ten years in IT I have never since seen a single UML document by anyone, much less created one.

Not sure what he meant by the XML bullet point, or the .NET under level editors. Using XML or JSON for a config file is trivial in most modern frameworks, like .NET (e.g. Unity).
For the same reason any company should care about any product? Because selling goods and services at a profit is a sensible business model?
As I see it, the government's only job is to protect its citizens, and anything that gets in the way of it doing its job is counterproductive. I agree that a best-informed populace probably must also be the best-protected, but I disagree that the solution is to limit all legislation to the eighth grade level of diction. Free legal aid as a constitutional right seems like a slightly more practical alternative to me.
not more time to spend with your parents though
>> I thought he had given up on that.

You did?? He's been personally promising to build it 3-5 times a day to tens of thousands of people in every competitive state in the US. It's kind of hard to miss...

>> Why would Mexico have to pay for that? ... It's like building a wall on your property and demanding your neighbors pay for it.

Except the neighbors -- to stretch the analogy a bit more -- have their children, pets and a few spare vehicles in your yard and have become accustomed to browbeating you into not complaining about it. Trump et al. plan on altering this dynamic.
> I wonder if it has to do with crime stats being higher.

Yes, crime is higher in the US than in the Netherlands, but that cannot be the explanation. Because crime is the US is much lower than it was three decades ago when children did walk to school.
Yes and more specifically Washington DC, the home of the regulators, voted 92% for Hillary. So Trump needs very hard rules that aren't open to interpretation AT ALL to have any chance of them actually working.
Exactly my point, dynamically typed means writing less boilerplate. At the cost of safeness and mantainability.

The reality is that the majority of systems out there use distribution vendor supplied kernels. If you are in this camp, note that one of the best things you can do for kernel security in production is run a custom kernel with all of the features you don't need removed.

If you go this route, definitely consider grsec as well.

Reasonably tuning your kernel can also offer speed (eg. via more specific CPU targeting), size and - critically for embedded environments - startup time improvements.
My daughter's preschool [American] went on several field trips, it's not that weird. And her first "solo day of class" was sooner than a month in.

I walked to school by myself in NYC. Now I live in the suburbs, and I see plenty of kids walking themselves to school in my neighborhood. But a lot of it depends on how far away you live and the route.

Basically, I don't worry about my daughter's ability to find her way to school, I worry about her getting run down by some idiot in an SUV.
I'm not American (thank God!) but I can understand that in the US you need a car if the school is several miles away and there's no serious public transport option...
I'm saying that your fundamental premise that trump is racist is based on cherry picked examples aND doesn't represent reality
Be careful what you wish for. I can't stand Trump and don't support him at all. But he's got a damn good insurance policy against impeachment in the form of Pence. Pence is a religious nutbag and would be a million times worse than Trump, if you can comprehend a level of bad that awful.
I think taking advantage of social services without paying for them is pretty clearly unjust

And I don't think open borders are a good idea for america in its current state.
2 hour deadline and forcing the task to be done at the office turns it to a different kind test. This becomes more like how do you perform under stress and how well can you propose things out of your head. These are valuable skills as well, but I think having the weekend to spend with the problem more accurately models the actual development work.
Funny, I'd think the lesson is that near-total mainstream propaganda actually generates pushback. See also: Britain, Germany (where press in universally suppresses and labels any opposition as "neofascist").

Also consider the possibility that many people voted not for Trump, but against Clinton and her fake issues (like the discredited wage gap myth).
Sounds like I'm completely the opposite of you! I'm fine with someone sitting next to me - I love pair programming.

But cutting off internet access means no StackOverflow, no online documentation. The test should be very similar to normal working conditions.
New MacBook Pro Has Already Outsold All Competing Laptops This Year
OK, I misquoted. But immediately after this "summary" you said you agree that we should listen to the majority (whatever it means) and try to make most people happy.

And then you go on ranting how uneducated they are and how you can only get binary answers from them (happy/unhappy). And somehow you conclude that the fact you can't communicate with them means you already understand everything they need, namely jobs, sex, entertainment and government handouts.

My point, and while I can't speak for Trump I think his too, is that what they need is to understand WTF is going on in economy and politics and have their say in these matters too. There's no point "working to exhaustion" (pretty much your words) if it all goes to support things you disagree with.

Politics and journalism is utter shit nowadays. See Republicans nominating Trump hoping to capitalize on bitter people. For real lulz, see Democrats nudging Republicans to nominate Trump (somebody dropped a link to wikileaks emails here) hoping they will make him look like idiot in TV and win. See the hysteria about the dumbest things Trump said in futile effort to scare people away from him.

Some people are fed up watching such games. Some don't want their emotions fucked with by zealots. Some don't want their taxes to fund gender studies and "affirmative actions" considering them bullshit. Some understand that "government giveth, government taketh away" (see the posts I linked). Some believe that countries should work on principles of individual freedom and market-based cooperation, not central planning.

And many of them don't speak in the media, don't feed twitter trolls and don't post to HN. They vote. Whether he actually wants their good or not, Trump seems to have got it.

> And if you have a point you forgot to mention it.

Be careful with that attitude. Sometimes silence indicates not acceptance but conflict.
But in many American suburbs, car is the only feasible way to get somewhere. So unless the 12-year-olds are driving, it's got to be the parents.
I urge everyone to use linux-grsec, and avoid the security hole that vanilla kernel is.

This stuff has been there in grsecurity patchsets for more than 10 (ten) years already.
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying the situation.
That's a great idea! Not only does it just 'feel right', it also prevents some of the legal mess people were seeing with effectively moonlighting for the hiring company.

The question is more one of costs and benefits. Anyone can argue a regulation is useful in the abstract.

There's a lot of regulation around internet services and people under the age of 13. The primary effect of these rules has been that American internet services ask for your DoB and then ineffectively try to ban you from signing up if you say you're under 13. Do parents really need this?
