I'd be a lot more curious about it if it handled Pull Requests. (Can't find anything in the screenshots or docs to indicate that it does.) The biggest pain point I've seen with GitHub's current UI is that it's hard to track PRs as they evolve over time - old revisions and comments are often hidden away, with no way to indicate what's been resolved and what hasn't.

Though to be honest, I'd be skeptical even if it supported that. I imagine finding enough open source people who will pay $9 a month for a wrapper around a free tool is a challenging business model, and I'd hate to become reliant on it only to find it's been sunsetted due to the cost model.

Best of luck to the team! I don't mean to be pessimistic, just aware of the realities of the developer tools market.
The P-curves are "unsafe" (according to that rubric) in the sense that there are several ways to make mistakes writing curve libraries with them; you have to be more careful using them than you do with Curve25519.
It's crazy how arrogant a little knowledge can make some people, as seen in that Reddit thread.

Portland Oregon's "Niketown" program
There is also research in progress to regress a more-differentiated cell back into a state similar to less-differentiated cells.

Essentially, rather than stopping the cells from making "what I want to be when I grow up" decisions, you're taking a grown-up cell and forcing it to forget all the decisions that its predecessors ever made. It's a bit more difficult.

In general, those decisions are recorded on the nuclear DNA by "tagging" it with methyl groups, like customizing a dictionary by using paper clips to bond together the pages that are least frequently accessed. You can look up the words you frequently need much faster, but you lose the ability to look up anything else in the clipped-together pages.

If you take one of those dictionaries, and remove all the paper clips, it's back to being a completely generalist reference, almost just like a new dictionary, that had never been customized in the first place. The most notable difference is that the old dictionary might have accumulated some damage over the years.

Furthermore, there is a differentiation hierarchy. Some cells only make a few decisions. So even if you can't suck fresh stem cells out of embyros or umbilical cords, there is the possibility that you could liposuction some adipose tissue, separate out the least-differentiated cells, and inject them into other tissues. Those cells could possibly repair bone, cartilage, and ligaments. Or you could crack open baby teeth, or suck out bone marrow, and produce different types of cells. With nerve cells, though, you're out of luck, because there's really no reservoir of cells that can be harvested.

So you take some of those liposuctioned fat cells, chemically treat them to remove all the clips from their respective dictionaries, and try to make them switch to nerve cells by attaching new clips to different pages. Those cells will be cells with your own DNA, but it might just be old, damaged DNA that can't make certain proteins correctly any more.

I do agree, we still need to wait for all older browser to implement this (especially think of all the mobile browsers nowadays).

If making a polyfill is the solution, we risk ending up with a bigger polyfill file than the actual CSS implementation in the browser. If that is the case we can better do styling with JS.
>The findings show that boys and girls were equally interested in the “hard” game, but girls were less interested than boys in the game for “smart” children.

Males and females have different mating strategies -- in humans how much is nature and how much is nurture is difficult to untangle. It makes me wonder to what degree the boys attraction status-seeking games is nature vs nurture, or alternatively to what degree are girls discouraged from status-seeking games either from nature or nurture. It may, for example, be more evolutionarily advantageous for females to allocate their time to mastering social interactions and cooperation (let the boys fight it out). Alternatively, society could be discouraging girls from competing with boys.
> My cursory opinion of this is that it's the worst idea ever I've ever seen make HN's front page.

Not disputing that it's the worst but it could be even more worse.

It's missing the key component: a curl | bash install and upgrade script running over HTTP (not HTTPS). In this case it'd be extra hilarious as upgrades would presumably go over your existing VPN connection which could then hijack the script and run arbitrary code on your machine.
I believe there's a delay in place before you can reply to a reply to your own comment (presumably to force you to breathe a bit if you're potentially about to engage in a flame war).
Important to note that the Shuttle did not require cabin depressurization to EVA, it had an airlock. None of those other vehicles could keep the cabin pressurized during an EVA (I'm not sure about Soyuz, for that matter).
By creating events that contain both the duration of the request and whether it succeeded, you can create graphs that show you the detail you need. Unless you include those data together at the beginning, it will be impossible to tease them apart later on. Combining them into one graph will likely conceal the difference in the two cases, as you describe, unless you feed them in to a system that an natively tease them apart as easily as show them together (such as http://honeycomb.io). So it seems like the disagreement is more about visualization than collection (the section of the blog in which that quote appears).

The originally quoted advice, to show "the duration it took to serve a response to a request, also labelled by successes or errors" remains good advice, so long as the visualization of that data makes clear the separation.

I absolutely agree that careful consideration is required when choosing what to put on dashboards to avoid confusion. That seems to be a separate issue.

(bias alert - I work on Honeycomb, and care deeply about collecting data in a way that lets you pull away the irrelevant data to illuminate the real problems.)
True. Also, people tend to take more time when in losing positions, so it is likely that more of the discarded games than the not-discarded games would have been lost.
Gotcha. So basically the "axiom" of the law of excluded middle would become an oracle, and then with a call to that oracle a problem requiring the law of excluded middle becomes a proof. Basically - the axiomatic decisions made by mathematicians can be represented as programs by turning them into oracles.

In this case, with the axiom of choice implemented as an oracle, the program for Cantor's Diagonalization can be written.

This makes a kind of ultimate sense. Rice's Theorem shows how a program with an oracle about the behavior of a Turing Machine is contradictory, and this implies that "even with a finite set of axioms" there are no proofs about general classes of Turing Machines and thus there are statements independent of mathematics (a kind of Godelian statement).

Is that right?

If so, that's profoundly simple and also incredible to me. (Hopefully I haven't excited myself into thinking I "got it".)

Could you help me understand what Erdo's Probablistic Method looks like as a program? Which oracles might be required and how you would call them?
Over time, data loss is the same regardless of cluster size. It's just that as cluster size grows, you go from "lose 100% of your data in 0.1% of time periods" to "lose 0.1% of your data in 100% of time periods". This analysis looks at only a single time period so that effect is obscured.
> (b) my bikes would get stolen

This is why I don't ride a bike in Philadelphia. I don't know anyone here who rides a bike and hasn't had it stolen at least once.

The only way to guarantee your bike isn't stolen is to bring it inside, which isn't an option at most workplaces. And even if it was an option it's a huge hassle.
Just curious, could you link an application using Qt/QML with a native-looking Windows GUI?
Blockchain.info also provides the estimated IP of the first node that broadcasted a transaction to the blockchain which allows us to map the geographical sources of the transactions that include this information and estimate the influence that either Russia 🇷🇺 or China 🇨🇳 had in the organization through Bitcoin donations.

This is wrong. This is the IP address that first broadcasted the transaction to the blockchain.info node. Nobody can know where the transaction came from.

The hackers in the bay area are more interested in shiny iphones than up'n'coming tools for the masses. You'd be better off doing it in Europe, where there is a stronger hacker culture towards doing stuff 'for everybody', plus much more familiarisation with i18n issues. In this bay area/startup bubble we live in, the default refrain is "I don't want to fiddle with the underlying machine", and that's not the kind of mindset you want for an underdog that is never going to be as polished as the market leader.

> iPhone ... but the cost is spiraling ever downward

The iPhone 1, the one that got people excited, was US$400. The iPhone 7 is US$650 (for the bottom model). Inflation in the US has not been 50%+ for the intervening decade.
My mom moved from Los Angeles to Switzerland about 5 years ago. She is very happy, makes good money, and plans on retiring there. I visit regularly and while it's a bit boring for young people, it's a beautiful, civilized country filled with well educated, tolerant people. If I raise a family I would prefer to do it there!
Anecdotally, Modafinil improved the functioning of the right hemisphere of my brain. I noticed this type of enhancement with Phenibut as well, my "emotional intelligence" was increased by one or two orders of magnitude.

On the other hand, Adderall increased my raw intelligence by several orders of magnitude. I strongly believe that amphetamines should be decriminalized and unscheduled, as they are the only class of pharmaceuticals that are proven to increase cognition with a fairly limited side effect profile.

I am not offended, no worries. A temporary ban on immigration for the purpose of security is a reasonable proposition to me. Every country has the right to secure itself and define who can and can't enter the country. It is fundamental to the concept of being a nation. India, China, Japan, Korea, even Mexico all have very restrictive immigration policies and I have yet to see anyone work themselves into a rage over it on Hackernews. India even started building a wall between itself and Bangladesh (I have no idea if they completed it honestly, but again I don't remember an outcry at the time).

Historically the US has gone through times of very low immigration and also times of very high immigration. It will swing back in twenty or thirty years.

Specifically in reference to this article, there are very few PhD seats for advanced physics in the US and the universities are so prestigious if someone is denied a visa from a temporarily banned country, another person of equal brilliance from another country will take that seat.

Came across this which gives good insight into the 4 golden signals for a top-level health tracking: https://blog.netsil.com/the-4-golden-signals-of-api-health-a...

One thing of note in the graph is the tracking of response size. This would be very useful for 200 responses with "Error" in the text. Because then the response size would drop drastically below a normal successful response payload size.

In addition to Latency, Error Rates, Throughput and Saturation , folks like Brendan Gregg @ Netflix have recommended tracking capacity.

I love RefME, use it for everything, started using it after using Cite This for Me became too annoying to use and bigger projects meant that I would have to find the money to buy a membership (which I don't have) to stop my references expiring after only 7 days. RefME has a lot of great features that CTFM doesn't have and it actually works well and looks good. This is why this is so annoying, it is essentially a downgrade. What I want to know is how much Chegg bought RefME for, to see if the price was fair for such an amazing and free service. I'll miss RefMe, does anyone know of any alternatives to CTFM?
But if good public education and low religiosity were the magic bullets, the Soviet Union would never have fallen; if homogeneity was necessary, Singapore wouldn't work and the Ottoman Empire would always have been dysfunctional; if high religiosity was bad in itself, Bavaria would be a hellhole. Some religions get in the way, others don't -- and some actively help to enrich their societies. (Zoroastrianism should come to mind. Rice was the staple crop of Persia before it was the staple of China, thanks to pious Zoroastrian agricultural research; and building an aqueduct or draining a swamp was a fast path to paradise. Down to the present, the Zoroastrians do pretty well for themselves -- the Parsis of India are the main population of Zoroastrians today -- and some of their habits of mind seem to still be present in Iran today.)

I've come to believe that the potential to rise in social position is what matters most, except possibly in Zoroastrian societies. Appalachia, Sicily (including lower-class parts of Boston), and the Middle East all agree that where you were born is where you'll stay, and that ambition is ridiculous or contemptible; while the healthiest societies are the ones where talent can bubble to the top even if you're not the judge's son.

My favorite example of the vitality that social mobility brings is the Ibo of Nigeria -- "the Jews of Africa", the most successful and energetic of West African peoples. Also look at the dynamic nature of the early Islamic world, compared compared to the stagnant nature of the modern one. And what's true of the Islamic world is equally true of the Iberian one; Brazil and West Virginia have the same basic problem. And back in the Middle Ages, too, it was the most fluid societies -- Lombardy, England, the Low Countries, and the Iberian states -- that were the most successful ones.
> I want to remind the Amazon human resource and recruitment team that you have many talented software developers in your company. And, these folks can create a database of do-not-want-to-move candidates for you, and you can ask your recruiting team not to spam them! A simple cross join!

That'd be an anti-join, not a cross join.

On a more serious note, there should be a "Do Not Call List" for email addresses. It'd be damn near impossible to implement for everything as I doubt Nigerian princes will bother checking it, but a "name and shame" campaign against companies and their recruiting affiliates that ignore it would work.

Course the other problem is that having such a list and such a service also provides a way to verify the validity of an email address.
"You give us this price or we don't use your drug" isn't coercion?
Not ever. There's no plausible scenario that I can see under which this data might be irrecoverably lost.
My method to stop compulsively checking messages yet still be responsive to my clients' support emails was to institute the Pomodoro Method (25 minutes on a task, 5 minutes off, repeat for the whole work day). I close off all communication (Slack, email, Skype, etc) for the 25 on-task minutes and only check them during the 5 minute breaks. If something urgent comes up, I dedicate my next 25-minute task period to dealing with that item.

This has broken me of my involuntary email/Slack/IM checking and instead keeps me focused on the task at hand.

Nowadays there's not much reason to actually check the email manually because of all the mail-checking browser extensions.

This of course brings up another problem: getting the emails as they arrive can be as distracting as constant stream of notifications from messengers and team chats like Slack.

Not just a side effect; isn't this why stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall are used as treatment for hyperactivity and attention deficit?
This is a really fun idea, and I enjoyed going thru it. I like the fact that it doesn't matter how you get the answer, as long as it's right (seq 100 | tr '\n' ' ').

This would be a really useful product as part of the interview process for technical people. I'd ask candidates to self-identify their expertise level, let them skip questions, and consult google as much as they wanted. You could have different subjects and maybe mix and match - shell, powershell, python, postgres etc.
I've taken a cursory look at SoftEther a few months ago.

It looks like a research project that was then unsuccessfully commercialized, and then released to the public somewhat hastily.

The code quality leaves a lot to be desired (there is nothing offensive, but it still does not inspire confidence for there not being security bugs), and the code style is not great either. The amount of marketing copytext is disproportionately large to the amount of code comments and design documentation.

It generally seems to go for a everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach in terms of features (which is not a bad thing per se, but an approach that I dislike). The SoftEther repository is 280k lines of C and headers, while OpenVPN is 80k.

I actually don't think it is that bad for industrial capitalists either. Afterall, a disrupted supply line often just means higher prices once the goods come through. You may be right that there is a distinction here but I think that "industrial capitalists" are rather rare. Few factories are owned by individuals anymore, they are owned by corporations, and those corporations are owned by stock holders. Perhaps direct ownership of factories is bad in times of chaos and that has meant that financial capitalists have gotten richer while industrial capitalists have gone bankrupt. I think that financial capitalists probably thrive best when society is stable for a time, when the capitalists can gather cash, and then unstable for a time, when the capitalists can go on a buying spree, buying things that are not normally for sale such as national post offices, and buying things bellow price.

No, that's completely and totally not it. Folks oppose embryonic stem cell research because they believe both that embryos are human beings and that innocent human beings should not be killed. That's it.

Note that Mr. Bush continued to fund adult stem cell research, and continued to fund research on existing stem cell lines; what he didn't do was continue to fund the destruction of more embryos.

You may disagree with the idea that an embryo is a human being, and you may disagree that innocent human beings should not be killed, but you mayn't be uncharitable to your opponents.

I don't mean to hijack the focus from email specifically, but i find slack suffers from the same, if not worse, issue. Without exception, the most productive days i have had since my team adopted slack are the days when i forget to open it in the mornings, and achieve hours of uninterrupted work.

All of these conversations, be it open-office/email/slack/etc are a rehashing of something we all know: fewer distractions leads to increased productivity. The trick is to balance that with collaboration and help channels, so the product and collective productivity of a team is improved, not just an individual's.
For whatever this is worth to anyone: there are not a lot of people who run bug tracking services that I would trust with my Github credentials, but Nick is one of them.
