Okay, that makes sense, I agree with you there. Thanks for making that point. What maybe would have been better and a less normative way to make the point is that she has as track record of writing and making statements that advance claims that are outside the mainstream of climate science.
I use my simple little command line tool filewatcher to autorun tests. You supply it with file patterns and shell commands to be run when files matching the patterns is updated, added or deleted. It's available via gem install filewatcher. It was a great milestone when most of the code was from other developers pull request.

That is how I felt about Planescape: Torment, widely regarded to have one of the best tales of all RPGs, and all other great stories in other mediums.

It makes me wish there was some way to get selective voluntary amnesia, where you wipe all memories of the specific content of something, just keep the feeling that it's something you have to experience [again].
Hey everyone, I work at Hustle and I could not be more proud of our team and the work we have done so far.

If anyone has any questions about the technical aspects of how we did it, our stack, whatever, I'd be happy to answer as a long time lurker.
On the contrary, it's calling out the blatant hypocrisy and utter lack of self-awareness of those who claim to be tolerant and embrace diversity ...except for those people and views they personally happen to disapprove of. Tolerance is not a meaningful concept when it only applies to those you happen to like already.
Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework
The visualization aspect of working on game related projects definitely adds to the motivation to learn.
Instead of a game engine, I got my start in a less legal/savory area: botting. MMORPGs like Runescape and WoW were huge when I was a teen. Obviously I joined the botting communities to get some relief from the grind-playstyle that is involved in that type of game; but eventually I was writing code just because it was so satisfying to watch something I created work.
This is really slick. I've used it a few times just to get my capture groups tested right, where pattern matching is needed over parsing. The fact it color codes the Python named capture groups is just awesome: make a regex to match the stuff you need, then slam it into another string via % and you've just converted one string into another. There's tons of ways to do that, but when your patterns are fast and loose, it makes the intent a bit easier to show. (I also tend to use regex with comments, so they tend to be a bit more literate and long... well, at least not all line noise.)

Prior to that, elementary school, I used PowWow and Mplayer to socialize with pretty much only Californians.. since everyone on the internet back then lived in CA. That was a weird time. I of course was 18 for.. oh, 10 years.

It's got some potential, but it needs a name change or product change.

I don't like the misuse of the word "firing" which has become incredibly prevalent. To fire someone means there was a performance issue. most of the things listed on that site are just lay offs, not actual "firings". It would be good to know which companies actually "fired", vs which ones "laid off". there's a big difference.

Transfer increases as square root of drive density. http://www.anandtech.com/show/10541/western-digital-adds-hel... Shows 10GB drives at 249 MB/s sustained sequential transfer rate.

That takes ~11 hours to fill. At 400x the density it would take 20x as long or 9 days. I don't think HDD drives are hitting 400x the density any time soon but if they did it would be a problem.

However, in an array you could take a month to fill a drive to 75% without causing to much trouble. Assuming you had enough drives. That's around a ~80PB limit drive. IMO, the real issue is it would take another month to download all that data. Relegating HDD firmly into archival storage.

PS: I don't think rust is going to get into those density's making this far less of an issue.
Germany was headed toward being a threat in 1933, for those with eyes to see. But they weren't a threat yet, because they had no military. It had been gutted by the treaty at the end of World War I. They couldn't have invaded Russia, or even Poland, with what they had in 1933.

There's probably millions of parallel universes where humans weren't so lucky and we're extinct. We happen to be living in the universe where they are.

Or, we live in the simulation where the parameters were tweaked so that we were "lucky" and managed to survive this long. Other simulation runs didn't turn out so well for humans.

Years ago, this used to be the default in Firefox. Since Ctrl+Tab has not been the default, I've been using Ctrl+Tab extension. Other browser like Chrome do not provide APIs to allow extensions access to override tab order. Accessing tabs by order of last used, is a requirement for my daily web browsing, which is why I've stuck with Firefox for so long. I'm glad this is now part of the preferences, and does not require an extension.

https://github.com/gregfjohnson/netnode

Netnode. It is a little like a unix pipe, a little like netcat, a little like tcpdump. But really simple.

You create a graph of communicating entities with netnode. The terminal nodes of the graph are external data sources/sinks (user input, udp/tcp servers and clients, shell pipes, named pipes, /dev/tty*, etc.) The internal nodes are a mesh of instances of netnode.

It is easy to insert a little instance of netnode anywhere, and have it print the traffic going through it.

I think it turned out really well, and I use it for everything. It feels like "connective tissue" similar to classic Unix pipes, but for the network age.

./netnode -h

-p/-P: tcp client/server.
-u/-U: udp client/server; client does pings to notify server.
-k: stdin/stdout.
-s: filename. works for /dev/ttyS0 etc., named pipes, regular files.
-X: tcp proxy; local_server:remote_host:remote_port
-w: raw network device interface eth0 etc. (requires sudo.)

-i next interface is input only
-o next interface is output only

-d: next interface is prefaced with time/direction
-t: next interface shows non-printable characters in hex
-b: next interface prints data formatted as hex dump

In an ideal situation for science writing, who someone is, their agenda, etc, shouldn't matter for interpretation right? But here having read the piece without that context, and then having someone point out who the author was really changed my interpretation- for better or for worse.

Many of the points she makes about statistical validity make sense - complex, non linear systems are difficult to predict, models need to be validated on data different from their training sets, etc. So those points, without digging into the real meat of how they're applied to these models specifically -- which she knows lawyers won't, serve to mislead.

I think what's also at the heart of this discussion though is whether what she's writing really is science or if it's opinion/has an agenda. When one puts oneself in the position of writing an overview like this, well then maybe it's one's responsibility to present (as well as complicate) the general consensus rather than present an argument that is not that mainstream as more of a consensus then it really is.

Usually when programming, the most relevant are the last source files I viewed, e.g. a source file and its header file. I love ctrl+tab switching between most recent files this way.

Wow that's about as many as signed up for Revolt Against Plutocracy by May.. (a group promoting #BernieOrBust).. Interesting coincidence? -- there've been a number of polls and articles online stating that 40% of Bernie supporters would not vote for her. If he had 10 million voters, that's 4 million people.

That's a lot of votes that you're leaving on the table. It really wouldn't have taken Bernie much more votes to win had he been the candidate. All of his supporters, and Jill Stein's would've voted for him, and a large swath of the Independents (which make up 40% of the electorate)..

Here's a good article that explains how two ideologies are on the rise (Egalitarianism/Nationalism) and that neoliberalism is on it's way out - which isn't to say corporations aren't going to fight tooth and nail to keep it in place which is exactly what we saw this election.

> This means people get to amazing places but are disappointed when reality doesn't match the photo

Photographs with modern digital technology have many advantages over what our eyes can do, but I find it's typical the opposite problem of trying to make an image that adequately captures reality.

The advantage is that our brain can interpret the information from our eyes in real-time, meaning we can extract much more from a scene in real life. A photograph is just a snapshot with a pre-selected focal point, exposure, and view angle, and it can never reproduce the sensation of viewing something for real.

a) Why they need so much money?

"Need" is probably the wrong word. I imagine they're trying to maximize their return: sell enough stock to make lots of money, but not so much as to flood the market.

b) Why they are worth so much?

That's the question, and it really does boil down to "they're worth what people will pay". One side might argue that it's a game of musical chairs--someone assuming they can find a greater sucker to buy into it for more money down the road. Another side might be that they have a massive user base of people just starting to make money (high school & college graduates) who are willing to spend $5/mo on stickers and filters and stuff, as well as watch some ads.

If they can effectively maintain their audience (a huge "if"), they will make lots of money. If they lose them to the next funny app, then they'll be a gigantic bust. So far they've continued to grow.... (Personally I think they're trying to IPO before the bottom falls out, but hey, what do I know)

ICQ was huge in Germany and I was actively using it until 2011 or so, even to communicate with my supervisor at Uni. One year ago, there were still four people left in my list. Also, a good friend that I haven't talked to in 10 years used it to reconnect with me just last year. I wouldn't have her in my life today if ICQ shut down.

It has died down almost completely by now though, thanks to whatsapp, skype and hangouts. I still log on with pidgin and there is at least one person in my list that does the same.

I will never forget my ICQ number, it is burned into my brain forever.

I've linked to it before on HN, but NASA's grand road map document includes a section on testing advanced propulsion ideas, which is what this lab is doing.

NASA's involvement is minimal, in that the resources dedicated to it are minimal. But it would be wrong to take that as some sort of implicit disavowal by NASA.

Rather, it's probably just reflective of a reasonable approach to budget prioritization. "Show something good for a little before I give you a lot" is a common approach to budgeting for speculative R&D.

Try 20 years. I started the story back when book 5 came out and re-read (or skimmed) the series each time a book came out.

Hi there! I'm Steve Feldman and I manage the Ad Ops team at Stack Overflow. I'd like to make a few leaps based on your comment and offer a little insight our business. I'm very interested in learning more about your experience.

- Based on your targeting concerns where we failed to adequately meet your request (geo, site, budget), I'm going to assume you tried to purchase advertising through our self-serve option. We offer self-serve specifically for advertisers who want to work with budgets below our minimum of $5,000 per month. In doing so, we hope to allow clients who still want to target our users an option while preventing our salespeople from burning out or being unable to provide an excellent advertising experience due to an excessive client load. Please remember: the long-term success of the Ad Sales team is reliant on the success of our clients and their ability to interact with Stack Overflow users in the smartest, most mutually-beneficial way possible. That takes time.

- Targeting via our self-serve option is limited to global run-of-site. This means ALL tags and ALL countries. Any advertiser looking to reach specifics types of users-- mobile, web dev, cloud-- will see better results working with a sales rep and spending that $5,000 minimum, as impression volumes will be too low to make a real, measurable impact through self-serve. We see greater success for self-serve clients with (a) products that benefit ALL developers and/or (b) products related to some of our larger tags on the site, front-end tags for instance, as the largest volume of impressions go to the largest tags when targeting run-of-site.

- Self-serve is currently limited to sites that have a large impression volume, ie: Stack Overflow and Super User. We don't currently offer any advertising on many Stack Exchange sites, and SoftwareRecs is one of them, unfortunately.

- If you can share the interaction with our team with me, I'm happy to look into it and make steps to speak with the entire team to ensure we're doing everything we can to have your experience with us be a positive one. If you're so inclined, send an email to adops@stackoverflow.com or to reach me directly, steve@stackoverflow.com.
