Slightly off-topic, but I can't help but recall a rather hilarious 9 minute beat poem by Tim Minchin

"By definition", I begin
"Alternative Medicine", I continue
"Has either not been proved to work,
Or been proved not to work.
Do you know what they call "alternative medicine"
That's been proved to work?
Medicine."

It's good enough when you can't afford to build native or your intended audience/product isn't primarily mobile, sure.

Just clicking through the samples at pwa.rocks - a good portion of these are demos/prototypes. Some are just well designed responsive websites that aren't much else than a brochure/ecommerce sites. Sure, it's not hard to format content for mobile and make it look nice. There's a couple of good ones on this list, but for the most part I wouldn't put this list against a list of top ten well designed native apps. They're just not comparable.

That said, I'm not arguing against building out nice mobile responsive sites (and this is something that I think gets forgotten way too much with "rich interface" single-page app designs that are all the craze on desktop). I'm a strong believer that every site should be written with mobile in mind first unless there are strong use cases to argue against it. Don't ever force your users to install an app to consume your product unless the product itself is the app.
Thanks for the encouraging words. HN is a technical forum, so the critical responses are understandable. Not that I don't take them seriously :)
I used to live in welwyn garden city and paid that sort of rent. Good way to save money.
Internet penetration and social media use. Most of the population using the internet has happened in the last 20 years and social media exploded in the last 10 (in 2005, Myspace had less than 100 million users worldwide).
I don't understand why this cannot be a differentiation for a product competing with Amazon Echo and Google Home, certainly you can install one in each room and will provide better networking and see your presence and respond in context.
I'll go with Michael Savage's definition. A country is defined by language, borders, culture.

Presumably, if one demonstrates mastery of language(1) and cultural knowledge(2), he can be assumed to be a countryman.

1) This practice dates back to biblical times.
"Shibboleth": mid 17th cent.: from Hebrew šibbōleṯ ‘ear of corn,’ used as a test of nationality by its difficult pronunciation (Judg. 12:6).

2) Common example: During WW2, if a suspected spy were encountered, mastery of language and accent may not be enough to assess his status. Cultural questions were asked: Where does the NY Mets play? What's Mickey Mouse's girlfriend's name? Questions could also be about celebrities, movie stars, music, novels, etc.
Well, it is funny, because after all that he just installed Ghost on it.

> There is a great use-case for IPV6 for IOT where each device gets its own IPV6 address.

Do you really want your IOT devices to be directly addressable on the internet? It's my understanding that having devices behind a router is safer. I go a step further and disable UPnP on my routers and everything still 'just works' including network printing.
I've been postulating that a return to import/export taxes in addition to a small vat and include financial exchanges for import/export could be a better tax system with less bureaucracy than the current IRS.

Not that I like the approach, but feel it would be better overall, have less gov't and be harder to work around.
That is pretty much what dokku is, with some additional bells and whistles.
Homepathy may work as a channel to induce placebo effect. Sometimes this is enough to help. Claiming it has any other sorts of effects without scientific evidence is kooky.

Even if a hypothetical scenario would actualize where it is found that some specific homeopathic drug/treatment combination is effective as medicine it would not validate the rest of the tradition in any way.
Also true for all of the other natural monopolies in your area, 'cable' included.
> Sorry to lump you in, caveat that statement in whatever way makes you feel comfortable. Hopefully we can agree that at least as far as level of discussion goes, much more is made of college costs than of childhood education costs. I found to be a little absurd given the financial numbers involved (every kid goes through primary education, even if college is free it'll never rise to the level of every kid utilizing it, etc.)

The big difference is that childhood education costs are primarily borne locally. Most, if not all, comes from local real estate taxes. If I pay those taxes I can reap the results (via my children attended a school I pay fore) ir I can vote with my wallet and live somewhere else that has lower taxes (and by extension lower quality education). Either way it's up to me.

> I left a comment in another thread, but the amount of shit that is in the budget leaves every American with a feeling of "I don't want to pay for that". The DoD budget alone clocks in at over 8x the projected cost of free college education, very few people talk with vitriol about the hand-outs we're creating for the myriad of people that make up that apparatus.

Saying, "He gets his daisy cutter so I want my free college!" is a fools argument. Just because there's other crap in the budget doesn't mean we should increase it further with more crap. It's just a different pile.

> I'm not as well read here as I'd like to be, but I have a hard time understanding how this is going to be such a magic fix. Professors aren't going to be too keen to take a pay cut here, and state universities aren't exactly making out like gangbusters right now.

I'm sure you'll find plenty of professors willing to teach for less. I don't even think they're a significant part of most budgets anyway but I doubt it'd be a problem.

> Is the idea that we'd have less students and less professors?

No the idea is to remove the artificial upward pressure on prices by having people pay for the education they want to receive.

> What's the economic impact of seeing those jobs, and the dependent jobs in school communities, eliminated?

They're being artificially inflated and maintaining a college loan bubble to keep them employed is asinine. Nobody has a right to a government subsidized job.

Plus it'd be better than the economic impact of trillions of dollars of student loan guarantees or the weight of those loans on our youth. College graduates with $160-200K of debt are common nowadays, even for in-state schools. That's a mortgage payment and they don't even have a roof over their heads to show for it!
org-reveal is a great modern text-to-HTML-slides tool, and its results don't need much tweaking.
I agree with him, but I don't believe he is comparing immunotherapy to homeopathy. Moreover, if you read the article it pretty much drops the use of Homeopathy for the very specific definition of like cures like and calls it like cures like pseudoscience and stated like cures like has never worked for any condition. I don't mind attacking homeopathy but once we begin using the very specific definition of like cure like and calling that basic principle pseudoscience...that is when I take issue with it because that is the exact principle immunnotherapy for allergies is based on.

Is EmDrive Real? NASA Paper on ‘Impossible’ Propulsion System Passes Peer Review
It's entirely possible, but I've shared my story with hundreds of people and talked with them about cooking. This is less impressive than it sounds -- I've done a fair number of pot lucks and been in a fair number of conversations where I shared the story of how, why, and when I learned how to cook. It happened in multiple stages, but all of them happened when I was out on my own and got tired of eating out. First, with roommates, I learned how to cook the absolute basics. Then, I had another roommate that helped me expand my horizons. He was vegetarian, so I had to learn another set of cooking techniques I hadn't before. Then, I moved into my own apartment where I realized that I couldn't make the food I really wanted to eat. I started watching the food network obsessively, learning everything I could, and trying new things.

However, it happened at the phase of life when I was ready for it. And when I've mentioned this in conversation, I don't remember anyone saying, "I don't need to know how to cook" or "I don't need to learn to cook more than the basics." It's "I don't have time," or "I don't enjoy cooking/cleaning," or "I'm too afraid to mess up."

As I've grown older, it's changed. I'm around mostly people in their thirties and most people had the same experience as I did where they realized they had reached a point in life where they needed to learn to cook.

Now, I realize that I'm a mediocre cook and anyone with a mere week in a decent restaurant is likely a better cook than me. However, I acquired a reputation of a good amateur cook in some circles. I couldn't imagine being in a place where I didn't cook well - it brings so much to my life. I just think the shaming over it all doesn't work because the motivations don't line up.

Check Wikipedia as it usually links out to medical sites and offers a decent summary in most cases. In this case Wikipedia links to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3240794/ which appears to be an analysis of 25 cases. I'd say it's pretty damning and avoid it personally.

That's because your code assumes those convenience functions exist while the parent's code writes out the anonymous functions.

I tried to like them, but too often the main character is a total asshole and nobody calls him on it. Also, the author is a little too enthusiastic about too-clever narrative tricks like having the story told forward and backwards in alternating chapters.

But mostly I got annoyed at the protagonists naval gazing and being only concerned with their immediate problems (that they usually created) when there was a giant interesting universe shoved into the background.

I also tried reading one of his non-culture novels (Transition), and it had exactly the same problem of a main character that just seems to be killing time until the novel ends.

My favorite characters in the Culture books are the AIs, not the humans they are keeping around as pets.
I believe it started as an unintended consequence, but now it is intentional -- the surprise is long past.

When you have wealth, you want to get maximum benefit out of that wealth. Since wealth is a relative concept, the only way to do so is to widen the gap between those who have wealth and those who don't. You're making your dollars go farther.

If you can drive the cost of college (or anything else) to exorbitant heights, people will be forced to come to you for loans. Then, you own many years of their future.

College is one of the most sinister purchases to do this to, because it is the very mechanism by which someone could possibly break free of being a Havenot.
The easiest way to have a value which "acts like null" but doesn't mess with table indexing is to use `false`, which is the only Lua value other than nil which is falsey (0 and "" are truthy).
Absolutely - I think Comcast charges like $10-15 per month for the privilege of polluting my airwaves with their access point. You can pick up one of their "approved" modems off eBay for like $50, so it pays off in a handful of months. You tell them some hardware ID number, either a MAC address or same idea, and they can auto-provision it for you. Takes literally 5 minutes and you're online.

Right now I have a Cisco DPC3008, which I can't really complain about. I have a Buffalo Airstation Extreme 1900, which has been good so far apart from its minute-long reboot times. I thought I was getting a DD-WRT router though, didn't realize the standard version did not have a supported DD-WRT build.

I have to admit though - when a contractor ripped out the sidewalks and took out my cable, I was glad that my neighbors were running the hotspot. Took almost 3 weeks to get back online.

I have done a little googling and apparently the preparation and active ingredients are highly secret. The most substantial info I can come up with is that it is purportedly crazy high in zinc. This highly scientific (/Sarcasm) article is the source of this info: http://www.secrets-of-longevity-in-humans.com/fo-ti-root.htm...

A few thoughts as someone who has pursued a lot of alternative medicine (successfully, with a very critical eye):

Minerals, like zinc, can build up in the body. Thus they are a means to wind up poisoned. (Too much of anything is not good for you. Even water can kill you if consumed in excess. It gets called water poisoning.)

I was told by people who did their research that B vitamins (particularly PABA) and nutritional support for the adrenals can reverse grey hair. I was going prematurely grey due to a serious health crisis. I had some limited success with this approach in my thirties.

You could try taking zinc supplements to see if that is, in fact, the active ingredient in this super secret mumbo jumbo, minus the part where you expose yourself to god-knows-what.

If you don't actually care about your hair going grey, I strongly suggest you just tell her "No thanks." You shouldn't have to experiment with your own health to appease anyone at all.

Best.
Looks like this author fell for it.

I also don't mean to typecast anyone, but the author's profile on that site reads, "Full-stack dev @Radius, ex i-banker, @HackReactor grad, @UCBerkeley," so perhaps he thought his prior experience in an unrelated field or his alma mater should've helped him get a leg up over other entry-level devs.

Again, I don't mean to judge since my path to software development was also non-standard, but my first gig paid about $30k/year and I was grateful to even be given the opportunity with my inexperience.

I agree with you that it doesn't make financial sense. Maybe Apple can simply state the demand isn't there for 32GB, or just don't respond at all.

Edit: Want to add that I think some people are not happy since they perceive the line between thin (Air/Macbook) and powerful (BMP) is being blurred and MBP is becoming too MacBook-like.

I am currently a 2014 MBP user. I love it, but my next laptop probably won't be a MBP. I don't own a desktop, and I am running out of storage. My next laptop will have upgradable storage that uses a standard part (M.2, etc), and the new MBP doesn't fit my need. I tend to keep my laptop for a few years, and lack of upgradability impacts me significantly.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's implementing OStatus standard.
I find Python's list comprehensions mind-numbing in many simple cases, such as [x for x in xs if some_condition(x)] rather than just xs.filter(some_condition). We're repeating the variable name three times and zero of those times convey any useful information, and we don't find out until the very end of the line that the everything except "[", "]" and "some_condition" was ignorable.

And in cases where a data-deriving loop has so much going on directly in the loop body that it makes map/filter/reduce hard to read, there's very often some refactoring that would improve either version.

For me it's neutral, except for one critical difference.

I've been shepherding a bunch of front end Javascript tests, and recently had to go through fixing a systemic problem with how we were handling multiple promises.

The broken code didn't look too different from your second example, but the same three people made the same mistake repeatedly, leading to tests that generated empty lists and thus didn't verify anything.

Now, I'm not claiming this is a good pattern of testing. Indeed in all of the straightforward cases I removed the array entirely, and with great relish (especially since it also sped up the tests dramatically). And there are obviously some gaps in their theory of testing that they didn't notice the problem until I pointed it out.

But it did illustrate to me again that there are (alarmingly) a lot of people struggling with basic data manipulation, and if your language supports anything like list comprehensions, I think you should probably get used to using them. It keeps those gaps out, and makes people decompose the problem instead of mashing together a block of conditional code that reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure.
Sorry, I don't understand this. It's incredibly bizarre to be posting selfies with messages on HN.
I'd argue for most consumers Ubiquiti aren't suitable. They offer professional equipment for pros to configure and use. Most consumers for example aren't going to want PoE or half the options Ubiquiti's UI shows off.

For consumer friendly alternatives I'd look at "Google WiFi." It is specifically aimed at consumers and contains features specifically useful to family (like WiFi "pausing"). Just buy the triple pack ($300), put one on ethernet, and space the other two out throughout your home for improved coverage.
