Did you get to the point of explaining why you're against diamonds? Was she able to tell you why she wants a diamond in particular? To resolve this issue it would be good to exchange the exact, real reasons why one side wants the diamond and the other doesn't. But even then, it may end up your GF will insist on the diamond - while all the rational-in-the-vacuum reasons are against diamonds, there's this whole thing called culture, social pressure and someone spending half of their life imagining the perfect diamond ring. Those are perfectly valid reasons too. So if she insist, don't be angry at her - be angry at De Beers.
I'm personally from Epitech, and I think this is just the perfect way to learn in Computer Sciences: by yourself :)
> My company uses technologies that are 5-6 years older. Maybe thats the reason? I keep myself updated by doing some sample projects, but most companies are looking for hands-on experience rather that just studying on my own.

This jumps out at me. HR people just use buzzwords now and may not even be passing you any further down the funnel. People down the funnel will see this and assume that you stopped learning new tricks 6 years ago, and overestimate the distance between your current skillset and their tech stack.

I'd suggest open sourcing something relatively current. It's not enough to make toy projects for yourself: you need to make things publicly, and things that are actually useful to others.

Good luck.

The good thing about Trump winning is that Ron Paul will finally be able to work with the Trump administration to implement some of his great ideas.
Will you please speak to my GF! I am afraid we have different values and any time the ring conversation comes up, it ends in an argument. The last argument ended in her telling me that we shouldn't talk about it anymore.
I'm a french student from EPITECH, and I can confirm that this kind of learning methode is way better.
There is no business model. I'm a yacht chef who decided to learn to code JavaScript. This site is just something to put in my portfolio.
Nice work. Feature request: track CFP dates and let people find conferences with upcoming CFP deadlines.

BTW, you have "USA" and "United States" as two countries, might want to combine those.
I think everybody knows this, but I don't: what is the use case of something like a private blockchain with smart contracts?
Magnus is the reigning champ at 2850. Karjakin is 2774. The tie break would be blitz and Magnus is similarly much better at blitz, 2873 vs 2800.

Magnus is the overwhelming favorite.

I'd hate to play through this game knowing it would end in a draw. But I followed it all day on my iPhone, wondering about prophylaxis and overprotection.

I noticed that the 65nm Pentium D was "losing" ~30W of TDP per new stepping at the same clock speed. I can imagine a 125W Pentium D 990 at 4.2Ghz based on the D0 stepping. I wonder if this was the original plan.
While you learned a good lesson, hit percentages in games are very often lies.

I'm seeing conflicting data for X-COM: EU specifically. Some say it's fair (except for cheating in your favor when you're losing on easier modes), but this guy collected a quite-significant number of samples and got results that looked like the square of the displayed hit chance: https://steamcommunity.com/app/200510/discussions/0/61393794...

The concept "argument" presupposes you have freewill so its circle, self-contradictory non-sense to "argue" that it is an illusion.

Edit: for clarity
Friendfinder and their brands are run by Andrew Conru. They're quite successful; they own Penthouse. At one point he tried to buy Playboy, but Hefner wouldn't sell. They don't really have 300,000,000 accounts; there's been litigation over their fake accounts. It's probably going to turn out to be like Ashley Madison, where over 95% of the female accounts were fake.

They had a breach last year, but it wasn't as big.[1]

That assumes that a more expensive ring buys a stabler marriage. Actually the opposite seems to be the case:

Hey, thanks for checking it out. I like the CFP notification idea. Was planning to provide some sort of notification system for the conferences users save. And thanks for catching that, I need to clean the data a little bit.
Is the app available on iOS? Does it have data for London restaurants? wife and I would use it.
I find this. Also, the people with social skills may only attend a couple of times, then stop, while other people carry on going for years.

This seems to often be a problem with public board gaming groups -- they get filled with players with antisocial tendencies, who scare off any new players.
It seems like it would be easier through technology to just reduce the minimum cost of living so much, that whatever basic income needed would be extremely small or even nothing at all.

I'm reading the Wright Brothers Bio right now and what struck me is how they came from a really poor family ( dad was a travelling preacher ), and they owned a small bicycle shop in a small town, yet they had no trouble owning a big house, and could afford to leave the shop for several years in their 20s to go across the country to do flying experiments.

That would be unthinkable today due to rent & food & healthcare costs.
Well, the calculus a lot of us Trump voters made starting in the primaries was that we were certainly going to lose with any other candidate, Trump at least offered a chance of "winning" (or not losing so hard, whatever; my local power plant that converted it's coal boiler to gas (and boy was that forced change stupid from a fragility standpoint) is not going back to coal absent a serious gas shortage and a lot of time, but he can in this area at least stop trying to explicitly kill off the industry, as Obama promised and did, and Clinton promised to, on the campaign trail (really, what were the Democrats thinking when they nominated her???)).

Note that he doesn't have to be "revolutionary" in one sense, if he's just another FDR Democrat like Reagan labeled himself as (albeit neither being viciously anti-business), that would be a huge improvement.

Zcash has a "mining slow start" which slowly ramps up the mining reward for the first two weeks, to reduce the threat that a large amount of the ultimate monetary base would be in control of early-advantage miners. As a result of the significantly reduced supply, the price was very high shortly after launch.

I really don't understand why there is such a complaint about Apple finally moving to an open standard.

I mean this is an age old cycle. People consistently complain about the changes in technology. Without these changes there would be no innovation. No updates. Do people want status quo for the rest of their lives!? What's the deal?

Also if you have the money to spend $2000+ on a new computer, is it not safe to assume that you can afford a couple dongles until the industries move to that standard?
Second this!

I too have resorted to disabling Javascript as a solution to the annoying/user-unfriendly mobile web. Fortunately, most sites still fail with a fair degree of grace, i.e. making it possible to read the content of the page with JS disabled. The fact that most news sites load approximately 10x faster is a nice bonus as well.

On Android, there are plugins for Firefox and Chrome. The plugin I use for FF comes with a handy quick-setting in the address bar. Makes enabling JS again easier on the rare occasion where it is actually necessary.

Furthermore, disabling JS on my Kindle is the only way to make the experimental browser reasonable to use.

Oh, on a side note: if devs would please stop loading article text over JS, that would be great. Same goes for styling elements with JS without reverting to something reasonable if the browser has it disabled.
Indeed, one of the prototype services built on Tango and evaluated in the paper was a Zookeeper clone.

Any students on HN? Yes! We're here.

Holberton School is project based and community supported, which means that we get the best of two worlds. 1. We get to discover answers ourselveswhile were solving problems in order to complete a project. 2. We have had the privilege of interacting with seasoned and highly skilled professionals who have made themselves available to us and are dedicated to our success.

I believe it is a great alternative to education in the software engineering field.
> assure you that you can't build a junction that works with todays technology at BOTH room temp and 1000C

How about a chip with cores that are specc'ed for low-temp, and cores that are specc'ed for high-temp, where the high-temp cores are designed to be the heat-sink for the low-temp cores? The low-temp cores would be something like a "starter motor."
"Learning software development without a teacher" is not totally accurate. There is no regular teachers, like a lecturer feeding students knowledge (at least for Holberton School). Students have to dig in and make their own knowledge, and confront it with their peers. Mentoring is very important, by staff or people from the industry. I know there is a lot of mentor at Holberton, I guess 42 must have something like it.

What's really important is to experiment and do real work in "normal condition". That's how you become operational and ready to bring value to a company. Go for it.
Given that the diamond ring fad apparently originated from a marketing campaign, it would be interesting to see how well the belief that wedding rings should have a diamond correlates with where the ads were run.

At least in the nordics, I don't think there's a specific type of wedding (EDIT: or engagement) ring that you're expected to have, and I think many people have no stone of any kind embedded in theirs.

Hey, I'm currently a student at Holberton :) I came to Holberton after recently graduating with a STEM degree, and I can't even begin to describe how much more I prefer the learning process that happens at Holberton as opposed to a traditional college.
Also, to say there are no teachers isn't 100% true: we have amazing mentors to help answer any and all of our questions, and one of the founders, Julien, will always give lectures to help us understand the more difficult concepts. You'll have to do a lot of readings and practice, but there will always be mentors and classmates around that are more than willing to help you out :D
I'm not a professional developer but I also found that the solutions I find, the elegant ones, always come this way. My only conclusion is that this process is not algorithmic. Somehow, something top-down takes over the normal, trained, bottom-up.
I refuse to name this thing as god or magic or whatever. It has no name yet and I don't need one.
"There are these developers who just made an awesome web app or something. It's really great but there is a problem. Noone knows about it. But they have a solution for that problem. They buy some 'promotion'."

Buying recognition is nothing new in tech.

It would be interesting to know if Uber did quantitative testing on their new design. The author's gut feeling or personal aesthetic may have very little to do with such a map's real world effectiveness and performance.
The author also emphasizes label contrast. It seems that the Uber map has more network contrast, which might be a use case they value.
Yeah, 42 use a awesome learning methode, it's perfect to learn Computer Sciences. 42 school is really awesome !
Yeah, this statement carries some privilege. It's all well and good to master your mind if your circumstances are more or less okay. If there are things out of your control that objectively affect your happiness, like living in poverty for example, it is much tougher to fix it all with a little extra dash of mindfulness.

Hello I m one of the 42 co-founders, and I can tell this working very well. This type of education should be the "only one" but for certain type of mindset this is really efficient. By the way I helped a lot in 1998 when Nicolas founded EPITECH :-D

Another business avenue The Economist might consider pursuing includes the promotion of new penny stocks!

I looked but seem to have missed the disclaimer for this paid advertising. A curious omission of its author too?
I was too. But it was more assistants like "astek" than teachers i think.
There's something called "attentional neural networks" that attempt to do this. They tend to do very well in reading natural language, IIRC, but I've also seen them applied to video.
Fission fits the bill perfectly in the scenarios you posit and we have almost fifty years of hard-won production experience with it. Fusion isn't really 'cleaner' than fission for most practical purposes, so why pin your hopes on something we can't even do in a practical manner at the moment? Fission also scales down much better (or at least we know how to scale it down effectively) so the power plant is much more likely to fit into the spaces available in these examples.

Nothing in my comment is saying that buying an expensive ring will save a marriage.

I'm only saying that if your marriage lasts for 10 years, which about 66% of them do, it's weird to complain about the cost of a ring when there will be very many more expensive and equally bullshit things to spend or not spend on.

This is awesome. What does the conversion process do to the executables? Is that part necessary?
I think you are in for a big disappointment.
Seems like a whole lot of hassle for little gain. A lightweight virtual machine should play those games perfectly, no? This guy is porting a huge amount of ancient APIs and their bugs too! Insane.
Simply, you first present the user with a dialog asking them for approval to track them, (and you have to make that explicit), and only once given approval, you actually load the tracking code from Facebook, and interact with their third-party cookies.

If the user says no, well, just redirect to Google, or something – but you can’t load or set that tracking data before the user has clicked "Yes, I agree", and you can’t hide the fact that users are actively tracked in the ToS or somewhere.

If you don’t care about breaking european law, you can just leave the tracking there, never asking the user, but, well, you’re breaking european law then.
Just so y'all know, "Go support my HN post" goes pretty strongly against the norms here.
Oh, it is a great work of art, this financial engineering. Anyone who has put in money is down 90% already and will never see that price again. I'm not surprised at all - Cryptographers without knowledge (pun intended) of economics shouldn't be designing these systems. Zooko and everyone involved made a great fool of himself.
I'm in 42 School and after trying the original school way and the "No Teacher School Way". I can say one thing :
National education shall inspire theme-self with this method.
With this methode you can improve your autonomy 100x more faster. More than that, 42 don't learn you How to code but how to learn. And that's the biggest difference. If someone tell us to do something that we don't know how to, we will be able to make this faster than if we hadn't do this school.

42 is just perfect. It shall have a 42school for each matter on school.
The Economist doesn't do bylines:

"The first few issues of The Economist were...written almost entirely by James Wilson, the founding editor, though he wrote in the first-person plural.

...

Having started off as a way for one person to give the impression of being many, anonymity has since come to serve the opposite function at The Economist: it allows many writers to speak with a collective voice."

Re Title Anyone can make a crypto-currency, adoption is what matters.
The argument about resale value is used to justify the purchase. The person buying the ring doesn't seriously consider it an investment, but it makes it less painful to think of it as one.
I'm actually a current student at Holberton. If you truly want to learn how to code, this method will work for you as how you do in the school depends on how much effort and time you put into it. At Holberton, there aren't any teachers but it was never a problem even if all the students were stuck on the same problem set. There is a large network of mentors (engineers in the field) that we have access to and can ask questions to at any time. Holberton also focuses a lot on peer learning. We have days dedicated to peer learning (have top performing students teach other students, pair programming, peer mentoring).
Well, it doesn’t require all websites. Only those who use additional technical means purely to track the user.

A login cookie doesn’t require approval, nor do settings cookies.

Only once you start loading Google Analytics, Piwik, Facebook, etc the law starts to apply.

> having to explain to friends and acquaintances why she does not have a diamond.

I don't think this is a universal "in America" thing. Maybe in some parts of the country, but here in the northeast it seems like it's none of their business; I can't imagine asking someone to explain it, and I would think someone who did ask was being awfully nosy. FWIW my wife has a diamond ring which she almost never wears, and I can't remember anyone ever asking about it. My parents wear plain gold wedding bands only, and I've never heard anyone ask them about it either.
This is a curiously vague article. Apparently there were issues with Cassandra's project leadership not addressing trademark issues, causing the Apache Software Foundation to remove Datastax from their leadership position. Um, ok? The author here seems to be sowing FUD about the future of the project, and by relation, all ASF projects. Anyone with knowledge of this situation care to chime in?
Whether it was feasible for Obama to close it or not, it's hard to deny that there was a fundamental shift in Obama's ideology once he took office (see: extra-judicial assassinations, abandoning Guantanamo closure, etc)

I suspect that there are some pretty powerful briefings a new president receives that draw back the veil in such a way that targeted killings and torture seem like the only effective response.

Sorry about that. Still working on some of the data issues as it is pulled from a ton of third party sources.
We went with a sapphire, in an antique setting with some small inexpensive diamonds on either side. Better in every way than a big diamond, much cheaper, easier to get a far prettier custom result.

And I have to say prong settings are ungainly and not durable.
