I wonder if taking a hot bath can have the same effect. I've been taking them more frequently recently and I've definitely noticed that my heart rate goes up (and that I smell a bit different than after taking a shower, presumably because I'm sweating more). I've been debating whether or not it's actually a healthy thing to be doing, but it's definitely relaxing and makes you fall asleep faster at night as it's getting colder in the winter.
Taking how often they are doing edit-a-thons into account, it's possible that some of your money goes into recruiting new contributors. (WMF also has a scholarship for known-good contributors to attend these conferences.)
I agree with you to certain degree, but this was not the only thing I was talking about.

I dislike what has happened to Javascript the language itself. The way they changed makes the language almost unrecognizable. I think JS the language used to be simple and elegant (even though a lot of people would say otherwise). But they've added on these new features that introduce a lot of complexity.

Sure these features make Javascript more "powerful", but at a cost of making it way too complex. And these new features don't do anything that wasn't possible before. The new JS is more different from the old JS than how C++ was different from C. Normally when something like this happens to other languages, they say they've "forked" it and come up with a new name.

I was perfectly fine with the old approach of creating classes from functions and that was what really attracted me to javascript once I got used to it since it's a very unique concept that showed you how you can create complexity from simplicity.

And I'm sure soon with the official support of the new js, the ecosystem will become even more complex and chaotic. And then people will realize it's not worth it to build or learn yet another javascript framework, and stop. Then there will be few winners left in the arena, and innovation will stop. No more "javascript fatigue" so I guess that would be good, but that's when I think another simple language will take over. Besides, js will probably NOT be the primary language of devices of the future, so people will probably move on.
Sometimes this can be a case of Maslow's hammer, though - if you work for a shop where they've standardised on Angular (or whatever) as their go-to solution for everything, you can end up with massive overkill in some scenarios while, overall, it's probably still cost-effective and perhaps somewhat sensible to have a standardised approach.

I say this as someone who is no fan of Angular or of this sort of attitude in general - but, on the other hand, I have many times seen the harm that results from in-house micro-frameworks (which tend to be poorly documented, poorly tested, overly specific, and a disaster waiting to happen when the in-house expert decides to get a job somewhere else).

Ask HN: Guidance for new tech manager
I'm one of the recently promoted manager from an individual contributor for all these 10+ years of my software career. I'm doing this new role for last few months but kept failing catastrophically over and over again, very hard to get time management right, mind always thinks like an Individual Contributor, any suggestions, good books that can help me a better manager/leader?
"The best digital products improve our lives..."

I'd like to be as optimistic as you. But actually (sadly?) this already happens. Those who want to "improve" their lives at profit-from-advertising are running A-B tests to evaluate the "best"-ness of their design/development based on clicks, ad revenue, conversions etc. Those who wish to promote a political or religious viewpoint ...same.

You may not ever want to have your life "improved" in the way I choose to "improve" mine. There will be some digital technologies that leave the Facebook crowd feeling that they have better lives and others that do so for more niche markets (HN, anyone?).
Postmodernism and postmodernity describe very complex intellectual and artistic practices. The periodic belittling of these cultural formations by people who do not well understand them is unbecoming and tiresome.

The Sokal affair gets mentioned in threads such as this. But anyone who has studied the Sokal hoax knows very well that _Social Text_'s editors were bullied into relaxing their peer-reviewed standards at Sokal's insistence.

It puzzles and saddens me that so many intelligent scientists and empiricists repeatedly point to such instances of "postmodernity" as proof that the postmodern emperor has no clothes because such a broad statement is simply untrue. The work of many of late Twentieth Century philosophy by figures such as Jacques Derrida, Luce Irigary, Julia Kristeva, Jean Baudrillard, and many many more deserve serious studied contemplation. Their work is not easy to understand and, yes, they can be interpreted in many different ways.

They are not randomized strings of insider shibboleths.

Occasionally propagating "postmodern" meme generators is a childish form of territorial demarcation and we would all--humanists, scientists, and intellectuals of all kinds--be better off and richer if they stopped serving as propaganda that postmodernity has no cultural or intellectual value.

EDIT: grammar, readability, spelling. Added penultimate, single-sentence paragraph.
Not OP, but for us, the reasons we switched from postgres to sql server were the "clustered columnstore indexes" and query parallelization. Before switching to sql server, we spent a ton of time optimizing query performance with "clever" use of indexes, ctes, etc. With sql server, we've been able to just use the columnstore indexes and write simple, straightforward queries that run in ~200ms vs 10-20 seconds in postgres.

And before you ask, we spent A TON if time and money on configuration, paying for multiple postgres experts to help with optimization.

Richard Stallman actually had that viewpoint toward passwords:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman

Stallman found a way to decrypt the passwords and sent users messages containing their decoded password, with a suggestion to change it to the empty string (that is, no password) instead, to re-enable anonymous access to the systems. Around 20% of the users followed his advice at the time, although passwords ultimately prevailed. Stallman boasted of the success of his campaign for many years afterward.[17]
"Always manipulate in UTC" fails for datetime distance computation.

Two very common examples:
For a recurring scheduled event, "Same time tomorrow" may require adding 24, 23 or 25 hours to the UTC time, depending on the TZ.

The question "how many full days have elapsed between two timestamps?" may need to return 1 for 23.5 hour distance or 0 for 24.5 hour distance depending on the TZ.

I'd be so happy if we all could agree that a day always has 24 hours, but that doesn't seem likely any time soon.
No... it's a byproduct of welfare reform that can provide men with meaningful benefits.

It depends in your definition of disability.

With the ease of background checking and creeping expansion of all sorts of compliance bullshit, a felony conviction is essentially a disability. You cannot get a job other than lowend labor jobs which have been replaced by technology. Nailguns, paint sprayers and workers comp killed those gigs.

For women with low skill but family obligations, its a way to get income when temporary assistance runs out.

For state and local government, they are happy because it's all federal money.
Which company was this?
Might have to look into that option. Most Amazon deals are US based, which would result in extra customs/duty charges for a purchaser from Canada. I also avoided eBay due to that and stories of people getting flawed merchandise. I wanted to buy from a source where I could be sure it was new in box.
this:

"The theorists’ third ruling idea is that business is getting faster. There is some truth in this. Internet firms can acquire hundreds of millions of customers in a few years. But in some ways this is less impressive than earlier roll-outs: well over half of American households had motor cars just two decades after Henry Ford introduced the first moving assembly line in 1913. And in many respects business is slowing down. Firms often waste months or years checking decisions with various departments (audit, legal, compliance, privacy and so on) or dealing with governments’ ever-expanding bureaucracies. The internet takes away with one hand what it gives with the other. Now that it is so easy to acquire information and consult with everybody (including suppliers and customers), organisations frequently dither endlessly."
I think the current pace of the death of flash is good enough. It also seems entirely fine if corporations or some individuals have to bend over backwards to keep their legacy apps running - that's how XP mode on windows still ran 16bit apps for years after ms stopped shipping a Windows version with native support for 16bit apps.

The problem with flash is that the people who get in trouble through exploits had no intention to run flash at all.

Browsers could start by disabling it by default and only enabling after modifying well hidden settings that would be no problem for a legacy intranet or kiosk scenario, but would serve my mother in law well.
Really the best "criticism" of postmodern thought is that once you've gone through and deconstructed everything and reduced the world to power relations, it doesn't give you much indication what you can do about it. Of course, that's not what most postmodern thinkers set out to do. Dismantling the present is necessary for imagining the future.
Yes, but the production is not evenly distributed among every person. Really, the people who are actually farming are getting much more productive, but because they are better able to manage resources. However, there is probably a limit on the absolute yield per acre, as an example. It may yet be double what we do now(which is double what we did in 1970), but most farmers I've talked to think that they probably won't hit the FDA's target of doubling yield/acre by 2050. Managing soil chemistry is too problematic. It is simply hard to add back enough mass to the ground as we extract in food/year.
Some details about the _how_ from an Economist article (http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/02/ec...):

Planning has played the biggest part in reducing accidents. Roads in Sweden are
built to prioritise safety over speed or convenience. Low urban speed limits,
pedestrian zones and barriers that separate cars from bicycles and oncoming
traffic have helped. Building 1,500km (900 miles) of “2+1” roads—where each lane
of traffic takes turns to use a middle lane for overtaking—is reckoned to have
saved around 145 lives over the first decade of Vision Zero. And 12,600 safer
crossings, including pedestrian bridges and zebra stripes flanked by flashing
lights and protected with speed bumps, are estimated to have halved the number
of pedestrian deaths over the past five years. Strict policing has also helped:
less than 0.25% of drivers tested are over the alcohol limit. Road deaths of
children under seven have plummeted—in 2012 only one was killed, compared with
58 in 1970.
> I'd worry about recording someone who simply bought a "used" phone on ebay - and the legal ramifications of such a move.

Under Dutch law you'd have to return the phone to the legal owner, there are a couple of very specific exemptions that would make you the new owner. So don't buy stuff that is too cheap, ask for the original receipt/invoice, check the serial number in the police database, etc. to make sure you are not knowingly buying stolen goods. You could get punished for that too.
Poster obviously remembers the name of the country - just not how to spell it. Did you not understand what the poster was trying to say?
Can you illegally wiretap your own device? It would seem to me the criminal implicitly invited the student into his life by using the internet connected property of the Student without permission.

In all cases, the criminal, not the student, determined where the phone was and whether it was in use or not (without permission). The student simply used his property where it was located, which is clearly his right to do. The property still belongs to the student. He has reasonable discretion to use it as he wills.

In the battle of "rights" it seems the student would be within his rights under the circumstances. This is not to say the student is within his legal rights: legally recognized rights have a long history of not correlating to any reasonable definition of individual rights. So the law may very well be in the wrong on this matter.

I'm very much for rights of privacy and the like, and a person should not be subject to search or eavesdropping without due process and probable cause. But this case seems very straight forward in terms of a criminal losing a right of privacy due to inviting another into his life. Wages of theft you could call it.
The definition of "disabled" doesn't match yours.
Gotta say, this comment itself reads like it was written by the postmodern generator
> It should be a goal, eventually.

Warning: Completely tangential musing/rant...

That "eventually" word is killing me. When we leave these sorts of issues up to the forces in power, they never seem to get done. What we get instead are watered-down, doomed-to-fail, design-by-political-committee "solutions" such as the ACA.

I think we need an official roadmap. I think the public deserves a direct voice in guiding the direction of the country. At the very least, I think we need to set in stone a clear vision of what milestones we want to achieve as a nation.

My entire lifetime, our leadership has repeatedly demonstrated it is incapable of moving us in any single direction long enough and far enough to be meaningful (aside from war, perhaps). Let us choose the direction; let them work-out the implementation.

I'm just speaking my mind. What do you all think? Is this even a "good" idea? How could we even begin to make this happen?
Yes, my point is that since *BSD does not contain the original UNIX code anymore, it is no more UNIX than Linux is, since it was basically rewritten from scratch.

I don't know about the Social Text bullying issue (I'd never heard of Social Text, so I didn't think its publication that significant), but Sokal's Intellectual Impostures picks apart most of those writers' abuse of scientific concepts extremely fairly and sensitively. He takes great care not to comment on their philosophical writing outside of its scientific content, and even then takes care to distinguish between literal and metaphorical use.
I honestly didn't recognize his description of closures. It sounded like memoization. Closures are probably best understood without metaphors like that, scoping in JavaScript might be weird but it is consistent everywhere- only functions have scope, and they carry that scope for their entire life. I think just thinking of everything in the language as a collection of scopes really clicked it for me.

The real trip up with javascript I often see even in professionals is asynchronicitiy, since JavaScript has a run loop.
The reason is that the process for getting SSDI is a nightmare. It takes months or years and often requires a judgement by a law judge.

In the meantime, you're screwed. You can't work, have no money and end up in debt. If you don't have kids, you're a low priority for subsidized housing and if you lack relatives who can help, you're in a bad place.
Yes, it does lack detail.

Here is the Wikipedia page of countries ranked by traffic-related deaths (the table headers are sortable) with data from 2013. Sweden has one of the lowest fatality rates per 100,000 inhabitants. But, interestingly, so does the UK with its much bigger population. Is there a common factor between these two countries that explains the low road fatality rates? Or maybe not?

Just looking at the map, I conclude that a lot of people are going to be really surprised that the president they voted for, who stated among other things during the campaign his undying dedication to preserving Social Security, has appointed a Secretary of Health and Human Services who wants to cut its benefits 20%.

Yes, and in Scandinavia we do. In Greece they didn't, hence the problem.
Hey, love the product, but there were just a few things I needed to be a little better.

The code highlighting was a big one, but I also had issues when updating raw HTML. I would create a code block in raw HTML and then go to update it later. When I updated it, the elements that were there previously would be escaped after updating. So any time I needed to update raw HTML, I had to recopy the entire snippet since saving it would mess up what was there.

Other than that, I would've liked a little more detail for stats. I think I was trying to segment users by how much of the course they completed, but didn't find an easy way to do that.

I like the Teachable platform and I'll be making other courses in the future. I'll more than likely switch back to Teachable when the syntax highlighting gets done.

It's crazy to remember that the GBC lacked even Mode 7, of which something comparable wouldn't come to Nintendo handhelds until the Game Boy Advance. A full raycaster running on the Color, at a high frame rate no less, is a very strange sight.

I wonder just how wildly impractical it would have been to build such outboard hardware acceleration into a cartridge in 1998.

The rules and structure of bitcoin enshrine the values and ideals of a certain culture, and enforce their traditions with ironclad rules.

I did a multiple-choice grader with image recognition that operated at a fraction of the exorbitant Scantron costs and at the time I thought we had a business model in the bag.

Turned out that none of the schools we contacted wanted to actually implement our system because 1: they didn't want to switch from all-paper to paper-digital now to all-digital in the future because education moves at geologic timescales, and 2: nobody had tried it before, so if something went wrong, whoever vouched for the program would get the blame.

Just something to consider if you plan to commercialize this application. CYA matters a lot on purchasing decisions.
> So it doesn't really matter what you intend it to say, as long as the grader can and does interpret something consistent from it.
