You can alter psychology of a person by altering brain structure, surely that link is well established even if the finer details aren't known?
Wow, thanks for the insight. It's easy to forget that Twitter was an SMS centric platform not too long ago.
errors that are program bugs and errors that are conditions of the outside world

That also happens to be the intended distinction between Java's checked and unchecked exceptions.
It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's not in the stdlib. Without being in the stdlib, each set of code solves the same problem in its own way harming conformity. It's gotten so bad that some libs include stack traces and some even parse panics. For example, how do I write a function that loops over the error chain if it may have come from several libs with different impls?

The problem is they shot themselves in the foot and may have to incorporate a form of "default" method to get around it like Java ended up having to. You can't have a "ContextualError" type because what does "Cause()" return? If it returns "errors.Error" then you require users to use a type assertion. If it returns "ContextualError" then it can't chain existing errors without wrapping. They also can't add anything to the "errors.Error" interface because they would invalidate all existing impls of that interface.

> The practice of it, thus, is always unique, and never consistent.

And it should be unique for the team. The software process is not very transferable because people are not transferable (in addition to many other things that are also not transferable). Each team is different and the agile process should reflect that difference.

Assuming there is not a lot of employee turnover, the team should become more consistent over time on a given project.
Ping pong tables are huge time sinks imo. And some other perks like that. A company where I interned just after college had a lot of perks. A great cafeteria where you could get anything for free, a gym and some pool and ping-pong tables.

End Result: People used to spend at least 2-3 hours of the day in gym/playing ping pong/partying in the cafeteria. Also they used to smell(cause they went to gym but were too lazy to wash up) in the meetings. Then if you needed someone's help then you had to wait until they came back from "play area". And no one used to complain about such a huge waste of time, cause no one wanted to be that guy who shut down the "cafeteria". Needless to say, they ran out of millions of dollars in 2 years, and Founders are in court for said "pocketing" the investors money.

Another interesting feature of the Nidaros cathedral is that one of the statues - Archangel Michael, if memory serves - has got Bob Dylan's facial features.

The sculptor who restored the statue in the sixties needed a face and as Dylan was opposed to the Vietnam war (as was the sculptor - in addition to being a big Dylan fan), St. Bob wound up on top of a spire.

SpinaliS Review by Ms. Carolyn: Improve Your Health with SpinaliS Health Chair
Depends on the sex determination system. XY vs ZW vs XO would determine it. XY would mean only female, ZW would mean both, XO would mean both or only one depending. Not sure what sharks are, some fish are ZW.

For the interested, ZW is the inverse of XY, while XO relies on X chromosome count to determine sex.

> Sugar (or bad food) is an addiction. It's not about nutritionists or scientific evidence, it's about having enough mental strength to stay away from bad foods.

You're close. Attempting to do so while not having any understanding of why things happen is a recipe for disaster.

It must be reasoned that obesity is a disorder caused by something more then just 'poor eating habits'. There are physiotypes that will simply resist obesity on the worst of diets. I don't need to link a paper for this, this should be common sense from anyone's experience around enough people.

So, if you reason that obesity is a disorder or sickness... you would then try to treat the cause, not the symptom. In the same sense that a person with a peanut allergy would simply avoid peanuts, a person with obesity may have this state caused by disturbed leptin/insulin signaling. A diet must then be designed to compensate for that disorder. (we know that once surplus white adipose tissue is grown, there's no going back, a modified diet must be adapted for life or those buckets just start filling again)

I would have said that in USA the "outer lane" is the rightmost lane, since it's the one that forms the edge of the highway. Likewise, in UK it would be the leftmost lane.

Yet the glycemic index of whole wheat bread is higher than Coca Cola. (Look it up!) I.e. the same amount of calories of bread will spike your blood sugar more quickly than Coke.

Metabolically, starchy foods including grains are a lot more like sugar than people who think they are making rational health decisions want to believe.

Why should R5 compete with the big players? It doesn't need to support the bloated OSes. It would be sufficient if Linux runs with acceptable performance. If Linux is able to run on a 12 MHz 68k [1], and SiFive already runs with 320 MHz [2] then I think we don't have to wait too much to get a suitable cpu, since it could also be a "weak" massive multicore, or we could stick multiple cpus together in a cluster.

By the way, Fabrice Bellard has already published a Linux/R5 emulator [3]. As for me, I am really excited about the R5 movement!

These six-wheeled robots are about to start delivering food in the US
A lot of the problems with decentralised reputation systems (or indeed decentralised anything systems) stem from the difficulty of establishing a decentralised identity system.

I wish that the idea of "idchains" had been explored more, but it seems it didn't get much further than a (now unlisted) video on the inventor's YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZC98s4paYY

The (perhaps controversial) idea is that you accept that your face is public data, and so use that as sort of the unique key in a global database of faces, or ideally, hashes of faces. A user could then carry around a digital copy of their face picture (in a mobile app, say), which other users could attest and check the hash of in a global blockchain.

There would need to be gamified incentives to do this attestation (effectively key-signing parties for non-geeks), and you could opt to have people take pictures of you each time and upload them to a decentralised file store (like IPFS). Organisations could then compete on using machine learning to generate confidence scores that a given identity really had been in use for a significant duration, vouched for by other individuals, and not a duplicate of another account somewhere else in the system.

There are various trade-offs in terms of security and usability and anonymity, but it seems like an idea that is worth exploring.

> I wonder what they're using to retrieve that data for analysis later on. I do something very similar to this, but having to sift through millions of messages for a given time period, to find a subset of said messages is kinda annoying.

It looks like hive or spark, depending on the use case. The data is also loaded into Druid when looking at statistics, rather than getting full data about individual messages.

> It's a good thing they didn't use Confleunt Camus. -shudder- It supports Avro-Over-Kafka out of the box, on the caveat that every single time it reads a message off kafka, it pings the schema registry to get the schema for it. That's great and all, until you've got thousands of messages per second.

They are using camus, much of the post is dedicated to it. It looks like they are also running avro over kafka+camus for some application logging, but at a lower volume (~10k messages/sec peak)
Ask HN: What’s your default zoom for viewing websites on wide-screen monitors?
I use a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, and I have found that for web browsing, a 150% zoom setting is a good default. (I used to default to 135%, but I’ve found that 150% makes reading long texts even more comfortable.) Of course, every now and then, there’s a website that has larger-than-normal text, and in those instances I just go down to 125% or something like that.

Are you the same, or am I the odd one out, when it comes to zoom defaults on wide-screen monitors?

P.S. Here’s how you set your preferred default zoom: In Chrome, in advanced settings, there’s a zoom dropdown under "Web Content". In Firefox, in about:config, there’s a devPixelsPerPx flag (set 1.5 for 150%).

Anecdotal evidence _for_ a calorie being a calorie: lost 5 kgs in three months by cutting food intake evenly by just reducing the size of meals. Also consumed slightly over 10% of daily intake in sugar (saccarose) which surpasses the recommended level (10% absolute max). Otherwise stuck to official recommendations. Sedentary lifestyle, moderate alcohol consumption.

The magic trick is being able to measure your weight for the first week or two and then keep the same habits until the goal is reached. No fancy apps or diets or nutritionists or whatever required. So a calorie is a calorie.

No, that's not what she did. She gave the archive to a third party (Assange) who turned out to be unreliable. But that's not "the same" -- or even "essentially" the same -- as just outright posting it on Facebook.

My own personal experience has been that managing nothing but calories is the most successful approach by a mile, but that sticking to decent macros is the best way to manage my satiation and stick to my calorie budget.

If you're managing satiety and glycemic index and ignoring calorie intake, you're not going to manage weight well. These are all tools in managing calorie inputs, not replacements for it.
If you separate components wrong in the same code base is an easy fix. If you get them wrong between services you have s much larger problem. I'm not sure why you'd be more likely to get that right with services than within the same code base.

Based on my experience with Firebase, it doesn't reduce complexity; it just shifts it around and adds extra costs (both financial and performance costs) to your system.

For any serious app, you still need to have a backend server on the side and your Firebase service often becomes bloated and inefficient. Sometimes you want to store the Firebase data inside your main DB as well and so you end up with two sources of truth and Firebase ends up becoming a third wheel to your project (just a bloated data transport layer).

It's not surprising that Firebase has been sliding in terms of popularity: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/firebase.com

It's good for rapid prototyping/MVC but not for any serious use case.

I think the big lesson in the framework/devtools space is that the more opinionated the tooling is, the less flexible it becomes and the fewer use cases it covers.

I don't actually think it is easier to get adoption. The major mobile platforms have SQLite built-in (under the hood in the case of Core Data). I think that's actually a strong barrier to overcome.

Furthermore, mobile is becoming in-demand or even core in both consumer and enterprise. For enterprise especially, though, you have to think of it as mobile + sync, not on-device only.

Turns out sync is the really hard part when you want to build something that's robust in the face of poor network connectivity.

If anything these videos seem more hokey to me in that they are implying a deep connection between the mathematical model and reality (where there might be none, or just an artistic interpretation/expression) whereas fractal lovers like fractals for their own intrinsic beauty. I'm not saying that artistic expression is bad, but if you "shoved" this in the face of someone who was interested in the math of fractals, they'd rightfully say this is mathematically gibberish.

I could rant for hours about how so many misuse the term "Agile" and the misunderstanding the idea(s) behind being agile. But I'm at a point where I almost don't care anymore. The use of "Agile" as though it describes a specific, prescriptive methodology is so ubiquitous that it's almost impossible to talk about the subject.

Let me just say this... go read the Agile Manifesto before issuing any criticism of "Agile" and repeat this 10 times - "Agile is NOT a methodology".

Scrum is a methodology. Crystal is a methodology. RUP is a methodology. XP is a methodology. OpenUP is a methodology. TSP is a methodology. One or more of those methodologies may be "agile", but "Agile" itself is NOT a methodology.
