It's funny because I feel kind of the opposite. If I post something on Medium it's because I feel the name has some gravitas associated with it and I want to take advantage of that.

But their editor is pretty primitive, if you ask me. It's got a sleek design, but from what I've gathered is missing a lot of important functionality. Most specifically, there isn't a good way to do code blocks or an ACE editor or anything like that.

I think the last part is where some of the misunderstandings come in.

For example, just yesterday I was reading an article showing that people are likely to make naming mistakes involving things from the same category. So if you mistakenly call one thing by another, you're sort of revealing an implicit categorization.

This isn't surprising, and these sorts of errors have actually been used as measurement devices, but it's very much in line with psychodynamic theory, and very testable. Basically the whole idea of a Freudian slip at some level.

Much of modern cognitive theory is based on basic ideas first elaborated on by Freud. People love to criticize psychodynamic theory, but then turn around and fill their work with implicit, subconscious, competing processes.

I'm not saying that Freud got all the details right, or that he wasn't wrong about anything. Many of his developmental ideas, for example, are probably totally off base. However, his basic ideas about modular, subconscious, parallel competing processes are still dominant today, and just go by different names. Old wine, new labels.

I agree that the nice graphical tools available for Elasticsearch are super useful, but it seems to me that those are not a feature of the logs storage or query interface, but rather one of an external app (e.g. kibana) that queries the system.

It would actually be somewhat concerning to me if a system like Oklog had all those graphing and visualization features built-in; that would be quite some scope creep for a distributed storage engine :-P
Unlike most people, I found TS3 to be the weakest of the three. It seemed like a terrific idea for a short that got padded to make it feature length and the padding was pretty average. I wish they had made that short.

I think this might be due to timing. I saw TS when it first came to premium cable. Then I fell way behind on animated films. In 2012 I went on a binge to catch up, and re-watched TS, then saw TS2 for the first time a week later, then TS3 for the first time a week after that.

So for me I was watching TS3 while TS and TS2 were still fresh. Most people were seeing TS3 after a long gap so they may have forgotten details of TS2, and that gap also helped TS3 get a huge nostalgia factor. TS2 was fresh in my mind, and I had no nostalgia.

I'm not sure if I'd put TS or TS2 on top. TS had more novelty, but TS2 explored more weighty themes and had deeper emotional content.

But the crime should be determined the action, not the chance outcome. The alternative is that the same exact action result in wildly different punishments due only to chance. This is unjust. People who have the same exact mental state and perform the same action should have the same punishment. If I punch someone in a fight and that person hits their head on the ground and dies, I should not get 10 years in prison simply due to the chance occurrence of him dying, while everyone else gets probation for getting in a fist fight where everyone walks away. The punishments should be exactly the same. The sentencing just should take into consideration the chance that someone dies and be applied evenly.
Everybody knows what you say to a diplomat from any country is going to get written down. But there's always been a tacit agreement that not everything gets shared with the world.

He was described as an "insider pundit" by the Clinton team

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/28878

From:brentbbi@webtv.net : ... I see Dan, Nate Silver and various other insider pundits saying what they are saying, I have been to enough rodeos to know that thoughts are being planted from the Obama-Clinton consultant class (not you, and you know who I mean). This is not helpful to Hillary, quite the contrary, ...

So I don't consider him objective.

If injustices were few and far between, I'd have more hope your approach could work, but considering the scale of the issues we face I don't think we can rely on mobilising the population into action over every injustice. Furthermore, the mass media still plays a large role in spreading misinformation, and smaller news outlets often lack the resources to carry out in-depth investigative journalism. I'd suggest any widespread political movement that doesn't tackle these issues head on is fighting an uphill battle from the start.

Well, I did try talking to my boss at my last job, but he replied with "Sorry, I tried to get you more, but corporate wouldn't budge."

Which was probably an honest statement. Raises were centrally managed by 'Human Capital Management', and individual supervisors had pretty much zero say in the size of their employees raises.

As it happened, my departure was ill-timed (for them) and I'm pretty sure it cost them far more than it would have to just give me a decent frickin' raise (seriously, 3-5% and I would have stayed).
Now I know the name of this phenomenon. This happens to my ears between songs when I'm wearing headphones.
why all this preoccupation with being a founder.. a formidable founder? founders just found good business opportunities and solved business pains that lots of people paid money for. incidentally they became good founders.
There's really nothing to debate; the guy I replied to was totally correct about everything except the bit about "AC is much better in the home", where I pointed out that he really meant that a high voltage roughly where our current AC systems are (120V-240V) is much better in the home than some kind of low-voltage DC system, and that with modern technology, it would probably actually be better to have a DC system. But realistically, that's not going to happen because the gains (probably very minimal) aren't worthwhile compared to the enormous cost of conversion, given how standardized our current AC system is and how all our infrastructure, point-of-use devices, etc. are all designed around that.

Basically, he was assuming practical real-world considerations, I'm going off on a tangent about ideal conditions. His argument is about whether it's better to stick with the current AC system that your house has, or if it's better to install a low-voltage DC system to supply 5V, 12V, etc. to all your devices from a single, central, whole-house power supply as many people who don't understand electricity will frequently suggest. He's completely correct: low-voltage DC is a terrible way to supply power over any distance more than a meter or two because of resistive losses, so it'd require massively large copper cables or busbars. And power supplies are generally very low-efficiency when operated at low load. So our current approach (separate little optimized power supplies for every device, plugged into a higher-voltage AC supply) is actually optimal.
That's one of the questions that's interesting... there's no obvious reason.
Google's Moonshot Projects Are Crashing to Earth
As someone who had worked on language support in IDEs for the past 5 years, it's really great that we have finally arrived to the point of getting common protocols. IDEs have historically been very self-contained, each with its own ecosystem, resulting in a lot of unnecessary duplication of effort. Now, at last, we can do neat things that are immediately usable across the entire language ecosystem at once.

Better yet, we can have language designers implement support themselves, ideally using the same code that powers their compiler. Historically, tooling support has been the single biggest stumbling block for new languages, no matter how promising. This should significantly reduce the barrier to entry for that, and make new languages more viable as a result.

The fact that it can also be used to "light up" hardcore editors like Vim and Emacs is also a nice bonus!
A downvote, whether it's because of tone or message, is a way to say "this comment has no place here." Enough of them concentrated on one message will censor it from everyone else's view.

All I ask is that we be careful about using that tool, particularly against a "freedom from" position that has historically been given few venues.

I believe trans people should have freedom from misgendering, because being in an environment in which you are constantly humiliated and disrespected can have negative psychological effects. As a white guy who doesn't suffer through this, I can afford to play it safe when I talk about it, because I am not directly impacted by how well my message is heard.

There are also some people who can't afford to play it safe. They need to talk about this, even if it is emotional or tough for them. If anything, they deserve to be heard more than I do. I want to make HN a place where they feel like they have a seat at the table, so I don't mind it when they meet what they perceive as incivility with a fire of their own.
I get this too, but it's always white, and usually flashes from the direction of the sound.
It breaks the state of the previous page. Do a search for something ("rust") go to an article, click back and you're search results are gone. If I'd done the same on a normal html page my search results would be there.
No they're not. Why would you think that people would not be able to correlate the visual phenomena with the auditory stimulus? The article you link to doesn't even mention auditory phenomena so I don't know why you thought it would support your claim.

Also, please consider that it's extremely rude to just invalidate peoples' experiential claims, although I'm sure you didn't intend your comment in that spirit. Synaesthesia is a well-documented neurological phenomenon and you've just made yourself seem ignorant rather than clever.

The 20 cities with the lowest cost of living
My heart often tells me when something is amiss. For example, if I'm about to buy excessive amounts of junk food and alcohol I sometimes feel a twinge emanating from the chest region. I acknowledge and interpret this as my brain's anticipation of the price that will be paid.

But what if things have gone more badly wrong? If the heart seems to say one thing whilst ideas (the ones I can name) say something else? One way to resolve the conflict is simply to censor the bodily signals. (Fear can do this sort of thing.)

Yet there are physiological consequences, because the brain has two roles: (1) to run the mind, (2) to regulate the body. And withdrawing attention from bodily signals has consequences for health, I guess due to a concomitant weakening of the controlling function.

It's traditionally known that design firms like the ones in the Awwwards and dribble communities use GSAP to manually create motion design chains where CSS animations fall short. Sometimes the generation of these are even automated from Adobe tools.

Mo.js was released as a proof of concept a while back, but has matured into a similarly designed library with a much more precise focus on motion design. While GSAP didn't explicitly ever state it was for such a purpose, a significant number of designers use the library for exactly that in very large clients' animations.

That is the most evil Continue button dark pattern I have ever seen on a supposedly high-quality site. Shame on Reddit.

Clicking the link shows a modal/pop-over pitching the Reddit app. Below the app link is a big Continue button, below that is a tiny link in light gray text in brackets saying ~"Continue to mobile site". Every indication is that the Continue button will load either the desktop site or the mobile site, but no, it loads the Play store.

I tried to take latex notes for a while in my machine learning class, but found pencil and paper to be much, much more ergonomic. I was spending time thinking about the latex syntax, distracting me from thinking about the actual content.

Also, spatial arrangement of elements is an important part of mathematical notation for understanding the relationships between entities, which can get lost looking at unrendered latex content.
That's pretty prestigious.
I would argue Snowden's approach - working with the most reputable news outlets in the US to release only what was necessary - serves as a good example of ethical whistleblowing. Nonetheless, the intelligence community wanted him arrested after the NSA slides went public, and he will still be arrested if he sets foot back in the United States.

Whistleblowers in the US government can and do go to prison, regardless of whether they're responsible about it or not. I think clemency in this case (shortening the sentence for disclosure of the cables to 7 years) is the least the President could have done.

Please use "she," by the way. Chelsea's gender and correct pronoun are some of the most well-known in the world by now. Nobody can claim ignorance anymore.

People forget that Silver's approach is basically weighting polls to figure out what the election will be, and he's the best "poll weigher" out there. But if the polls are systematically wrong, being the best at it is an unimpressive subtlety to the layperson.

To the extent 2018 brings increasingly contentious elections, we will likely see polling to remain inaccurate due to voter unwillingness to state unpopular opinions. In that case, multi-input "big data" approaches may prevail.

(Of course, it's also possible that 2016 is a "top" in terms of divisive rhetoric...only time can tell.)

I was never arguing that an individual should replace the AC in their house. My argument was, with current technology, the AC setup can be seen as tech debt.

Is everyone here forgetting the millions given by foreign nations?? The outright collusion with media? The lack of sensitivity to LGBT rights? The fact that they never discussed how to actually solve the Nation's problems, only worked on crafting a message to the public, and having "public and private" policies? The family connections to Russia that everyone conveniently ignores lately? Or most chilling of all, the cryptic codespeak used in several emails?

It doesn't matter, for several reasons:

Smartphones have no exclusivity or wealth signaling potential; both the rich and the poor can afford one. They're basically the new feature phone. I don't think anyone would brag about something everyone could afford. (i.e: no rich person would brag about an iPhone).

Some of the most expensive things go unnoticed to the 'untrained' eye. It might be by design in an inside joke spirit. Not many would recognize John Lobb shoes, Scabal suits, or Patek Philippe watches.. I wouldn't, but some would. They do look good and have an appeal to the hacker inside everyone who loves things well made, especially things custom made. Bespoke shoes is as 'hackery' as it gets.

My needs for searching through my notes isn't 'yada yada'. And attempting to justify it by using a single dictionary definition, isn't logic, it's wordplay. My definition of notes is any piece of information that I may need at short notice that is easier to jot down than to google.

First, it's going to be slow to start unless you're either really good at advertising, already have a following etc. Getting a podcast going, like and project, is hard.

Second, it's going to be weird listening to your own voice recorded. Again and again as you edit. You'll probably think you sound stupid and pick out all your flubs, but you'll have to get used to it.

Lastly, it is extremely difficult to do a one-man podcast. Two people is the bare minimum to keep the conversation going, three is (in my personal experience listening and creating podcasts) the perfect number. Four is great if you can find a good diverse cast (e.g the Rooster Teeth podcast). So get a couple of your friends and make sure to make talking points, either written down or in your head, so that there's little dead air.
This should be controlled for.
