Any idea on what the app will be? I'm currently writing a Mix task that generates Ecto models based on existing database tables. My Phoenix app I'm working on uses Ecto but I had to hand write the models because there isn't a tool that will do that for you that is with Ecto. There was a Mix task I saw for MySql but it did not work. I was using Mariaex library for MySql interface but I switched to Erlang's ODBC interface with behaviors so I could easily add supported databases without need new libraries

Essentially you're creating a compost pile unintentionally.

This phenomenon is easy to exploit actually. Laying out "sheet mulch" with 9-12" of hay on top of an opaque layer (typically newspaper or cardboard) can greatly accelerate the production rate of soil and repair degraded soils. No tilling or digging required, the mulch retains water and cuts down evaporation, and weeds are smothered by the opaque layer. This yields high quality produce without fertilizer and with a minimum of labor. The late Bill Mollison of permaculture design describes it here (@21m): https://vimeo.com/142711756
With UDP and custom FPGA IP for handling the packets the processing works fine. Network behavior is made easier as the IO board will mostly be used in a dedicated point-to-point Ethernet connection.

Our opinion is that Ethernet is easier to analyze using tools such as Wireshark, in addition to being easier to run in a cable between different PCAs. It also allows the IO board to be easily networked for communicating with development tools to reprogram the FPGA memory, debug issues, do testing from a developer machine etc without concern for driver issues on various host operating systems.

This could be more reliable than measuring emissions at the tailpipe. In my state vehicle registration is not renewed until the car computer sends a report to the centralized DMV database. Before that, cheating the emission test was much more easier, because the test was not linked to a particular car.

The smoke/soot you can see is particulate matter, not NOx. That's only a problem with older diesels or if the owner removes the filter, modern diesels with intact DPFs emit way less particulate matter than an average gasoline car.

The health problem with NOx (as I understand it) is that it will react with oxygen producing ozone and therefore smog, if there is enough in the air.

> The article came off as a ban on FM.

Interesting cultural difference; I would never have it interpreted it like that. I did wonder whether the commercial stations would also leave FM. A large country like Norway is likely to have only state broadcasting in its more remote areas, but additionally commercial broadcasters in the more populated regions.
> By your logic, wall-hacks (changing the wall texture to be transparent in FPSes) isn't cheating?

It seems that the philosophy here is constrained by the (real or perceived) connectivity issues surrounding the withholding of knowledge other than that which the player is allowed to know.

Obviously these need to be overcome.

I can imagine knowledge coming in encrypted "chunks," with keys issued only for those chunks within a player's proper domain. I can also imagine other solutions.

But transposing an unrelated theory of mind ("the code of the version I'm playing constitute the rules for you") seems untenable, inorganic, and in arguably insufficient defined in the first place.

So yes, I don't think that, in this strict sense of how knowledge translates to cheating, that wall hacks are cheating.

> Exploiting a glitch that causes your opponent to disconnect from the game isn't cheating?

It seems to me that the moral responsibility here is on the author(s) - they have slighted the player by instructing, via their code, their disconnection from the game at an improper time.

> Macros that allow you to perform actions that are physically impossible for a human to perform isn't cheating?

> Consulting a chess engine (unbeatable AI) on your phone when playing chess with someone isn't cheating?

At some level, there needs to be a dose of reality in this conversation.

If I'm playing chess against you, across the table, at a coffee shop somewhere, and you are surreptitiously glancing at your contact lens HUD, playing essentially on behalf of an AI, then I guess you are not being very nice or honest to me. This is an interpersonal affront, but it's hard for me to gauge what it means in terms of sport.

On the other hand, if I'm playing chess against an cloaked and anonymous adversary, it might as well be the smartest computer on the planet. And I will lose.

Computers beat humans at some games. That's the reality.

It makes more sense for those of us who wish to continue to evolve here at this moment at the end of time to play games that humans are good at. And there are plenty of games at which humans will continue to trounce computers for the foreseeable future.

> Also, moving pieces in a boardgame when your opponent isn't looking probably isn't cheating either?

This analogy is way off vis a vis the current topic.

It's more like a card game in which I show you my cards and then ask you to forget that you saw them - this is what you are saying my client must do in order to provide a fair experience for you.

> I agree in theory, but it's not always possible - latency is a major limitation in keeping everything on the server-side.

Right, and so some concessions must be made. Here I agree. But once you acknowledge this, I think you also have to give up some of the moral high-horsery that comes with casting judgment about cheating on other players.

Apple's decisions "won't make sense" in 2 years, just like they don't make sense now.

There is just no rational narrative applicable when Apple launches their 2 flaghip products separated by 2 months (iPhone and MacBook Pro) and they have totally different ports.

That's a complete lack of strategy like the two teams didn't communicate with eachother.
I taught English in Korea for a year. I absolutely hated it. I was teaching mostly elementary-school. I never got the hang of creating order in the classroom or keeping kids interested. Every second was just torture.

In retrospect though I'm glad to have done it. Glad I stuck through the contract, though sometimes I wonder if it'd have been better for the kids if I had bailed and let someone more qualified come in my place.

The one nice thing about it is when you're done for the day, you're done. (At least if you're not a very good teacher). With software you're always thinking about it even if you're not actively working on it (or at least I am), it just invades your whole life. So it was great having nights and weekends completely free to do whatever you want.

The one adult class I had was fun. But you've got to get lucky to get a position teaching only adult classes, and the hours can be worse.

All that said, I'm back in software now.
IANAL but continuing to operate a failed enterprise with no intention, let alone hope, of actually turning it into a successful business sounds like fraud if you're doing it with other people's money.

Heyo, ^ blogger here. Happy to chat.
I actually did seasonal work as a Park Ranger on the Oregon Coast for a while. I would wholeheartedly love to do that again. I'm always so proud to go back to the areas I worked and walk the trails I built during those summers in undergrad.
I've always imagined that they thought they were close and it made a good story (and is a great product idea) so the company just kept growing and getting investment.

But at some point it became clear that it didn't work and either it was an 'emperor's new clothes' situation and they bought their own hype, hubris that they would come through before they were caught, or they were just desperately putting on a facade hoping that they would get it fixed before it all fell apart.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever find out exactly which of those situations applied.

I'm assuming they didn't set out to defraud people or cause problems, they ended up in over their heads.
This is a ridiculous comparison - there are standards for these things, toys and buildings, provided by governments and insurance companies that you can simply meet and then disclaim almost all liability in the future. Nothing like this exists for security.

No one wants to insure your product is secure, even if they've fully audited it themselves - it's too easy to miss something and make a mistake, especially so in the C-centric world. Software security is a minefield much more so than standard building codes, child safety laws or meeting the best of standards insurance companies may request of those things.

The only alternative here is that we go all-in. Everyone who develops software is individually responsible for it, we all pay insurance for our ability to develop software. Because just about any piece of software can be a huge security liability.

Sounds like a scary world to me, one in which I would have never gotten involved in software development.
Pick out some local companies you would be interested in working as an intern at? Stop by see if you can get a tour, make connections, inquire if they have an internship program.

Most fun/tech companies love helping kids. We coach a lego robotics team and have gotten lots of tours, demos and even a meeting space for our team at a local startup.

All by calling, stopping by, following up and asking politely.

An internship would be a little different, but if you get to know people at a company it makes it much easier.
Just gonna leave this here.

> Further, the same arguments you made are the same arguments made in any given era.

Communication is a mental process, transportation is not, so they're not really comparable areas of change. I'm not making some kind of Luddite argument for the way things were. The point I'm getting at is that remote work partisans often have a over-simplified model that misses the benefits of in-person presence. Human beings have a lot of support for communicating with each other in-person, verbally, non-verbally, unintentionally, etc. which often doesn't translate well to remote work scenarios. Many of the social aspects translate even more poorly.

I'm just going to skip the philosophical stuff about worth and meditation because it doesn't really have anything to do with what I was talking about.
Not according to Microsoft, VR is going to be a big push for them this year. Granted a lot can go wrong, but they are addressing all the points you just listed:

* Headset Pricing: Major OEMs will be releasing headsets starting at $300 [0]

* Lowering system specs for VR [1]

* Not just a gaming focus: Windows 10 creators update puts an emphasis on 3D and Mixed-Reality, including a 'holographic' interface [2]

Show HN: REST API call examples for popular programming languages
One thing I've noticed in this thread and in other HN comments is a change in the way people talk about remote work. What used to be considered a perk seems to have turned into a right, and even a class issue (the corporate masters oppressing the workers).

Personally, I don't really buy it. There are trade-offs with remote workers. They are harder to collaborate with, and they generally require more process to manage. On a huge team you might need all that process anyway, but if you only have 5-10 devs in the same office you can operate pretty lean. Stick a couple of them at home 5 days a week, however, and things need to be more actively managed.

Tech workers today are doing alright. We make six-figure salaries, have our health care paid for, and, because we are in demand at them moment, are frequently pampered by our employers. So feel free to leverage that demand to insist on working remotely if that is what you want, but don't treat it as something you are owed out of fairness or suggest that a company is stupid if they don't adopt it. There are many companies and engineering managers who want their employees on site for good reasons, not just to "mind" them, and it is probably for many of the same reasons that startup incubators and accelerators generally require relocation.

Thanks for sharing that painful incident. Almost anyone who has been directly involved in a story ends up being unpleasantly surprised by the outcome. It is why I don't mourn the deaths of so many media outlets. They earned it.
> Still this sucks for all of the people she lured to work for her earlier on before it was realized to be (the edison blood tester) fraudulent / incorrect due to the low sample size.

Hardware is hard. Let's go shopping. :)

However, that doesn't have to be the end.

You can narrow the usage to something like "Use for routine visits to collect data quickly but not for diagnostic reasons". Being able to do a very fast test without drawing much blood for every time you visit the doctor would be useful information over time. There's also a "Hey, that number is a bit high. Let's pull a real amount of blood and see what's going on." I suspect that if you correlate the information over multiple tests it gets much more accurate very quickly.

In addition, I suspect that the engineers would have eventually worked out how to correlate things correctly and figured out how much blood was required for what level of certainty.

Finally, most people in the biotech sector understand that it's a "pump and dump" scam. You invest, wait for the company to get some good news, and sell to the next layer. Biotech often takes long timescales and different investors toss money in at different points.

However, what doomed the company was Elizabeth Holmes lying. I could make other comments, but, really, Theranos would still be fine if she had told the truth. People know that biotech always runs into problems. Always.

Your CEO is one of the people who must not lie (your CFO is the other). Your sales people can lie. Your marketing people can lie. Oddly, even your CTO can get away with some things, but normally the CTO is a shining beacon of truth compared to most people in a company. If your CEO always tells the truth, the CEO can say: "We've hit some snags, but the engineers think they can work around them" and people will believe because they want to believe.

But once your CEO is known as a liar, you are doomed.

However, I expect that Elizabeth Holmes will be back far too soon and will wreak havoc on an even larger scale. She is just Carly Fiorina writ 35 years later. She will fail upward because she is a not-unattractive blonde female with lots of rich family connections.

No, they're not state-sponsored teams... they're children, they're far more pernicious than black hat teams, and there's a ton more of them. ;)

The questions you're asking are good ones, and they're ones that we as a society need to start answering. 20 years ago, the idea of always-connected devices littering our homes would've seemed like sci-fi magic, but now it's actually coming commonplace.

But this isn't the first time we've had this sort of thing happen. Like, how did electronics gadgets become safe enough that we never think twice about the fire hazard of plugging in a mystery wall wart?

Or any kind of product. What we've come up with is, generally speaking, companies have to try to uphold a standard, they can be held liable, and can be put out of business for making unsafe products.

Why it should be any different just because it's a "now with Internet!" product, I don't really know.

Apple is in "disarray" in the same sense that Facebook is dying.

If your judgment of the entire company comes down to whether a new iPhone can be physically plugged into a new MacBook Pro, then I suppose it might seem to be in disarray. Apple's taking some heat now because they're working towards an ecosystem that is not based on wires at all to the greatest extent possible.

Apple has been the butt of jokes at least since 2008 when I first got my first Apple product (an old 17" MacBook Pro). Back when I was looking at laptops then, I saw the same complaints that I see about the new MacBook Pro: too expensive, specs aren't good enough, etc., etc. None of this is new.

It depends on how deep you plan to extend Bootstrap, obviously. I had one project I worked on that did a lot surgery to the Bootstrap files in a branch of fork of the main Bootstrap repository. I don't recommend that if you can avoid, and it was late in that project that I got better at being able to do overrides of the LESS files (as this was Bootstrap 2/3) in other LESS files without needing to edit the Bootstrap sources. There ends up being more duplication by doing it in separate files you control, but it makes it easier to deal with "merge conflicts" from upstream.

From that approach, one useful example I have seen is the infrastructure of the Bootswatch project. [1] Perhaps unsurprisingly for how many themes Bootswatch maintains, their GitHub repository is quite well laid out, easy to learn from, and even easy enough to fork as the basis of your own project.
