Thanks for the reply...

#1 At the top of the first page, where it says "Name Your Business", click on "Let's Do It." The next page is full of link for various TLDs with prices - the links go to shareasale.com. ##UPDATE## The domain purchase links are now dead and there are no prices/links. Someone must have decided to remove them (maybe someone read my comment -- or something else -- who knows).

#2 In my first message I described exactly what went wrong. In my second message I said "the download feature still doesn't work properly for me" Different wording, but pretty much what you suggested. We must think alike (smile).

#3 When I wrote the first message, I clearly didn't get how the customization was supposed to work. My second message explains and clarifies. As I said, just a bit of documentation would be nice.

#4 I think of HN as a programmer's venue. When I saw all the glowing comments, I thought there might be a nice web development tool to check out. If HN has a lot of readers who are interested in "making a website WITHOUT having to know or understand the underlying technologies" - then I apologize for my misunderstanding. If we agree that this is not a tool for technical web developers, then your comments are spot on.

As to the last paragraph, the first thing I said was "sorry to be negative." Criticism, by it's nature, is often negative. I hate knee-jerk negativity as much as you do (I'll bet). But heaps of sugary praise is also bad in it's own "awesome" way.

In/re being more helpful -- well, pointing out problems is helpful, right? I'm wondering if my comments didn't result in the shareasale.com links being removed (see #1 above). Maybe OP could comment.

In/re dismissive -- That's what you say but who cares what you think? (smile again - please note as joke)

To the author of "Launchaco" I would certainly offer a "well done!" To me, the most impressive thing that you have done is offer your work up for us to review and discuss. I hope and suspect you were looking for more than praise.
I note that tptacek uses 'I', 'me', or 'my' at least fourteen times in the comment i was responding to (i didn't count carefully), and yet he's not the one who got chastised.
The most interesting part is that they've also made a very nice cross-platform clone of 1) Turbo Vision (yes, text mode and all), and 2) VCL.

Then, using that TV clone, they wrote a cross-platform clone of the original DOS Borland Pascal IDE - that even comes in the base FPC distribution. Works great in Linux console:

And using VCL, they wrote a cross-platform clone of Delphi (circa version 3) IDE!

The Megaprocessor project has now been completed and moved to its new home - the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge.

It certainly isn't uncommon. I didn't mean that it is strange in comparison to other microcontrollers, just that Harvard can be strange for the author of an emulator, depending on their background.
Hard to imagine doing anything interesting if you've got to appeal to laymen with every word.
The primary problems with OTPs include input error and expiration windows. These are not fixed by making them push notifications. Further, there are many platforms where push is not an option or were SMS vs Push would not make a difference.

So no. Absolutely not. SMS is an additional problem, but OTPs in general suffer from logistic issues separate from their medium.
It's need to be self sufficient to sell more too. Watches are jewelry, so you want more than one. Right now it's painful to have more than one wearable. They could boost sales with a smaller market by just letting the niche be able to do multiple devices.
Yes, precisely. I prefer to not be one of those folks who states her own personal biases and assumptions as though they were Universal Truths. There are quite enough of them around here already.
I have used jest and i have used mocha. I use mocha because I got sick of having to "unmock" everything in jest tests. People have complained that jest is slow, that was never a problem I encountered.

The unmock becomes very annoying after a while.
Wow! Thanks for the article and the explanation. Makes sense now.

P.S. If you see this, how different is Amazon? Isn't Amazon also losing millions of $, yet their stock is soaring to all times high?

We've considered HDFS, but we really liked the idea of having compute only clusters and have our data kept completely separate. Clusters failure happen and having data on S3 makes us worry less if a cluster goes down. Just spin up a new one and you're good to go.

There is a bit of more latency when using S3 compared to HDFS, but it's not bad and the benefits overcame that. We do have a couple of jobs that store some intermediate results in HDFS, but in the end everything lands in S3.

We encountered a few issues with S3 at the beginning mostly around the eventual consistency, but nothing that could not be fixed.

Jest has changed a lot lately. Back in September they changed the mocking to be opt-in. [1]

The speed is also very much improved!

Not on HN, but I remember the initial demo of imgur being torn to bits on reddit. And when Joel Spolsky announced his idea that would eventually turn into StackOverflow, it was derided as useless because the work already had enough question/answer sites.

I'll save you some time: you probably just want to use a closure table.

I did a bunch of research on this while working on a comments system. You pay a price in table space if your hierarchies tend to get very deep. But for most applications I can think of, it's the way to go, which you'll see if you page through to Slide 69.

Well, they were mostly weirded out that it was the same hiss no matter where in the sky they pointed the horn, and indeed, that's pretty weird. It was non-obvious, and now we know why.

For the emdrive, the effect is so small that it's suggested that the next step is to launch a powerful satellite costing $100mm or more. Uh, really?

From your comment, you seem to be tangled up in results being "dismissed". That's not what's going on, when people make comments about extraordinary claims and extraordinary results. A tiny, hard to measure result is not an OH MY GOD THE THEORY IS WRONG result. It is likely an experimental error.
Time person of the year: Donald Trump
If by "constantly complaining" you mean "turning up every few months to gawk at something particularly awful", then, well, that'd be really stupid, frankly. I am almost never on HN, so "constantly" is a poor description of anything about my behavior here.

Also: Why should i "engage productively" with a site full of people who are constantly (i use the word advisedly!) saying awful things?
Strange. It's only 60 characters wide, so it should work fine. But the site fits it into a scrollable box only half the width of the screen.
Strange that 'c' is now constant. It would seem that the forces that caused the reduction in 'c' would remain in effect.

And if 'c' was faster because the universe was incredibly hot in the early stages, wouldn't we see a different 'c' coming from quasars, or supernovas?
I think the problem here is more nuanced. The first, cold fusion claim that they made belongs in the almost-certainly-false bucket; the many critiques of the work were decisive and clear. I'm not qualified to assess the merits of this new claim, but putting it in the we-dont-really-know bucket seems appropriate. The issue wasn't a rush to bucket, but not realizing that there was a second claim that needed bucketing.
The last time we had ARM Windows machines, we got the Surface RT. I still have one of these that I occasionally bring to meetings to fool around and maybe put a ticket in with. It is not a great piece of equipment...
We'll see. Full Windows x86 emulation will likely be slow.

It will be a harder sell the second time around, too as Windows RT burned a lot of people, and fewer trust Microsoft than before.
>designing a nice-looking website is such a huge momentum-killer

I agree. The simplest designs are the most visually appealing ones. I can honestly say that using a website that has better accessibility is nicer than one that is "pretty". Is there a way for you to print out your designs on a 3D medium so you can feel them? The spacing is way more important to the appeal than color.

>I don't even know where to begin with that

There are color swatches you can use and the correct colorization can be determined mathematically. Check out some of Google's guideliness at https://material.google.com/style/color.html#color-color-pal...

I skipped past a big swatch list because I think it could be annoying in a screen reader.

I implore you to keep designing websites. The fact is that designers focus way too much on the benign aspects of design and not enough on the ease of use and the mathematics that make them look good. If you focus on those aspects, you can make a great design.
Leonardo's To-Do List
I'm plunking this comment down here at the bottom as it has to go somewhere. It's not meant to apply to any one comment among its ancestors.

This whole conversation is particularly delicate. All of you care about this topic to some extent, or you wouldn't have commented. I commented because I don't want to see it descend into a flame war.

If the goal is to score points or try to demonstrate bad behavior, it's unfortunately way too easy to do so, with no constructive result other than every one all around feeling that their judgements of other people are justified. I'd rather figure out if there's something to be gained by the conversation: if nothing else, to show an excess of honest civility and respect for each other as people, even if we vehemently disagree with their opinions, erring on the side of not saying anything that can possibly be construed of as unfair.

Make it easier for people to say something honest and civil than get defensive and say something reflexive and knee-jerky, which is all too easy online.
What are some tools, frameworks, or platforms that you enjoy or recommend (for starters)?
Oh great, thanks for the reply. I think thats about where I think we'll land... keep S3 as the primary source, but have HDFS be used for intermediate jobs.

Microsoft Unveils R Server 9.0 an Update for Big Data Software
Honestly, I think we are saying something at least similar, but in the case of intersection with the legal system, I thin there's something else going on. Apologies, but I'm running with a tangent.

Bite mark analysis is a great example. It isn't just that CSI: Market Segmentation Unit convinces people science can do something it can't. The legal world (outside of some lonely voices to which nobody listened until pretty recently) was telling juries it was valid. Defense attorneys might have taken the odd run at expert testimony in a particular case if it looked promising, but their job is to win particular cases, not take principled stands in general. Meanwhile, the rest of the attorneys in the room (people with reputations for being serious, whom you might expect to have carefully considered the value of different types of evidence, given their careers) were taking bite mark analysis seriously. What, exactly, is a juror in that situation to do?

It is worth asking if the CSI effect is just a cultural feedback loop. Criminal law[1] has always wanted magic unassailable evidence. It just makes everything so much easier. Fiction sometimes still portrays fingerprint evidence as close to infallible, but who has spent generations treating it as such in the context it for which it matters most?

So at the risk of sounding cynical, I'll note that doubts about bite marks, fiber analysis, and now even fingerprints are legally acceptable now that a new magic guilt-certifier is available.

[1] I'm being somewhat flip with language. All of these topics are much more complicated than portrayed. Please take my broad generalities about legal topics in the spirit offered.
It is like contract checking, but all the checks are done statically (at compile time) and automatically by the solver.
Also, we allow the checks to only express things that the SMT solvers can decide fast (eg linear arithmetic). So, checking will definitely terminate and it will terminate fast.

This is not full x86 emulation, it only emulates x86 when you are running x86 apps. Windows/Office and other apps are running in native mode.

Interesting development. Could this be a good thing that encourages OEM to standardize on something like the IBM-like PC that we have for x86 systems so we don't have to deal with each individual boards in Android or the traditional GNU/Linuxes?

Furthermore, if the x86 emulation turns out to be as fast as they promised and demo'ed, will this kind of technology be developed for desktop linux? Is it even necessary as most apps tend to be open source and can recompile already?
don't you technically just need mov which is said to be turing complete?

I disagree that it's great. The immense complexity associated with creating a competitve x86 processor gives Intel a huge competitive moat. You can't make a competing processor without billions of dollars of R&D.

As a result Intel is able to deploy highly unfavorable features like the Management Engine and consumers don't feel like they have an alternative. A reasonable alternative like Talos costs $3700.

If startups could reasonably compete with traditional volumes of funding, we'd probably have better hardware.

>You know, I have no idea how to make stuff more accessible.

It's actually more about not disabling the accessibility features which so many web designers do. They're all built in and meant to work almost seamlessly alongside your design process, but people disable them because they are so self-centered they can't conceive of how someone with a disability might feel using their website.

Accessibility has been built in to the web for a very long time. The design process is "If I were blind, would I still be able to use this website? If I had mobility issues, would I be able to use this website?" Then you address those uses cases.

- What happens if I can't see this image?

- What happens when I disable focus hints and keyboard shortcuts?

- What happens if someone needs larger or smaller text on the page?

It's not a "kind of" design. It's just being considerate to other people's situations.
Make it easier for people to say something honest and civil than get defensive and say something reflexive and knee-jerky, which is all too easy online.

The problem is people are going to say reflexive, awful things no matter what. You could bury Mount Everest under the evidence of that fact at this point. So this isn't about "scoring points" -- if it were I'd just link people to the guidelines over and over again -- it's about publicly calling people out when they do this stuff. Because as long as everyone's polite to them about it, why should they stop?
Good luck and have fun! :D

I like Ben's approach to naming products/services - http://blog.pieratt.com/post/77293289254/a-3-step-process-fo...

The name does not directly need to coincide with its inherent value, paint the picture with your personal or teams values.
Another alternative that is not often discussed in technology circles is to form cooperative businesses where workers wholly own the business and make democratic decisions about its governance. Why should the workers, who produce the value, not be paid according to their contributions? Why do we need management to tell us what to do and siphon off the surplus profits in the process?

I will grant you that. If you have VS open all the time in your workflow its OK.

`Grep` shines if you need to repeat the search query (perhaps you get more logs the next day). You can save to a .sh file and run it again and again. You can also pipe stuff around to do more advanced searches.
I always used the option to turn it off by default. What you're left with (instead of having to unmock loads of stuff) is a parallel test runner with and a utility that is capable of mocking most anything upon command.

They recently changed mocking to be opt-in.

Come on man, that's just a marketing thing, it doesn't have any genuine cultural significance.

You're ignoring my questions. Does the origin of the chefs hold no weight in your mind?

Furthermore, I'm British, and I've had plenty of curries in my time. Tikka Masala does not stick out amongst curries as something particularly different to the rest, and if there was something 'British' about it that difference should be noticeable.

It's the same thing with NYC pizza, there's basically nothing that sets it apart from pizza found elsewhere.
When jest was first released, it was incredibly, glacially slow, buggy, poorly documented, and seemed to be largely unmaintained. Critical features were broken and stayed broken for months. I was an early adopter and I got burned hard, having to rewrite everything in Mocha.

Since then, apparently, it has changed hugely, and is now fast, reliable, and pleasant to use. Or so I've heard; I have no particular reason to change back to jest, since mocha is fine.

But if you're wondering why you've heard about it being slow, it's because for many, many months jest was absurdly, unbelievably slow; simple "hello world" tests would take seconds, and even a medium projects would take minutes. And there was no watch mode, nor any ability to re-run failing tests, or re-run tests on changed files. It was absurd.

Edit: See, eg, https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/116 opened 8 Aug 2014, and finally closed 17 Feb 2016. Quite a run.

Also, there were tons of bugs with the mocking and, especially, the `dontMock()` methods; many things could cause attempts to turn mocking off to silently, invisibly fail (or even more fun, to cause an attempt to disable mocking on one item to cause it to be silently, invisibly disabled on all items). It's amazingly hard to track down a failing test when a bug triggered by code in another test can cause items that should be mocked to not be mocked, and visa versa.
