Then again, until something goes in university textbooks on nutrition, I'm suspicious of all studies. So not sure if the study above is any better than the tens of studies claiming they found positive results (and meta-studies are not always definitive either).

It seems omega-3 can improve all kinds of measurements regarding heart health on an individual level, but it's not certain whether it can improve strokes etc alone. Which I take to mean it's more of a whole lifestyle + omega 3 issue than "just add omega-3 and you can eat/live anyway you like with perfect heart health".
I think unfortunately the conclusion reached by the non-Hacker-News world will be "the solution to all of this requires banning Bitcoin".

This explosion of ransoms is getting nastier and nastier. It appears to have no end. Bitcoin's block chain has been stalled at 1mb blocks for a year now, it isn't adding users and their plans to make it scale aren't implemented. At what point do the political winds shift and the cost/benefit ratio of keeping Bitcoin around, at least in the USA, tips over to cost > benefit?

I don't want to see Bitcoin exchanging sent underground in the west, but it's clear that community has no intention of getting ransomware under control.

I just don't think a president with an opposition congress can be expected to do much.

I don't fully understand why Obama was such a proponent of a surveillance state, as well. It is disappointing, but to me it's only somewhat of a problem. I think a surveillance society is 100% inevitable. It is not possible to prevent it, nor is it necessarily the end of all freedom so long as we take care as we're shaping it to make it so that surveillance is uniform and everyone has access to a reasonable portion of the data. That's the best we can do to create a reasonable series of norms around it.

Very interesting. I haven't considered mruby but it makes perfect sense. Though I don't know how the situation looks like with regards to standard library? A lot of tty packages use esoteric stuff from Ruby standard libraries including ffi or console modules.

Simple way to prevent this... utilities should not allow voice authorizations for new services. Require a signed contract. They can still allow phone based signups for convenience with a contract to follow later, but let consumers cancel any service without a contract for a full retroactive refund.
Holy shit. Just admit that TBD is a fad instead of trying to define every successful methodology into it.

Branches tend to be solo devs and tend to live less than a day. But nobody develops in master. It's actually locked down to just merges from pull requests.
It's simple but it requires effort and habits. Many developers work using the opposite mindset, they prefer to trade short-term easiness for long-term complexity (which is kinda valid), instead of battling complexity upfront.

> This ban clearly has nothing to do with terrorism

> This order is pure racism and religious discrimination.

I personally believe these outright bans have gone too far, but I continue to believe that while it's near impossible to remove emotion from these situations, we should always be open minded to facts, and wary of propaganda from either side of the political spectrum.

Visitors from these countries were already designated as higher risk by the previous administration. So if it truly is "pure racism", then the former administration is guilty of the very same crime, but to a lesser degree. The ban is bad indeed, but the thinking behind the ban is the more important part in the big picture, is it not? Same thinking, different reaction.

"A" theory (and it's just that, a theory) of Trump's motive is presented near the bottom here:

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/156532225711/the-persuasion-fil...

"President Obama’s approach was to give a free pass to Islam in general and to any Muslims that were just minding their own business. But the unintended consequence is that Muslims have less incentive to police their own ranks. Trump changed that. Now if you want to stay out of the fight against terrorism it will cost you.

So Trump has created a situation – or will soon – in which the peaceful Muslims will either have to do a lot more to help law enforcement find the terrorists in their midst or else live with an increasingly tainted brand. Trump is issuing no free passes for minding your own business. His model makes you part of the solution or part of the problem. No one gets to sit this one out.

I’m not smart enough to know whether President Obama or President Trump have the best strategy in this regard. But both strategies are rational."

Call me what you want, but I believe that every individual has a responsibility to police their fellow countrymen. We are here on this planet all by ourselves and we have to make things up as we go. You are free to believe differently, our standards and ethics aren't directives passed down from a God, it seems to me a lot of people have forgotten this.

From where I sit, considering how many Muslims are still being killed on a regular basis in the last decade, the notion that trying a radical shake up of the status quo doesn't seem terribly "crazy" to me. I see so many pink elephants in the room, I'm not sure others are blind or I am crazy.

I hope it works out for everyone, and soon.
Oddly, to me, the full PuTTY suite is way easier to use then all the ssh stuff on Linux. PuTTYgen/Pageant makes ssh private keys just work, PuTTYgen also has the handy "open a private key, here's your public key for it" text box, that makes everything dirt obvious (of course you can export the public key as well.) And the other major SSH-based software I use (WinSCP) integrates with Pageant as well. I know all this stuff would be equally simple with Linux, but on Linux, there seems to be "use a single key" thing, whereas I prefer to have multiple keys for personal and work use, which Pageant makes trivial.

I think that criticism of Numerical Recipes is still fair. Most of the topics in this book are the subject of decades of research hundreds of papers. Expecting all this to be condensed down to a few pages with the 'good enough' answer is unreasonable. Before the internet and the wide availability of good software packages (say in the 1980s), I could see the appeal to the practicing scientist or engineer. My boss wants the inverse of a 3x3 matrix -- I'll use Numerical Recipes. Today, anyone wanting to implement any of their algorithms is wasting their time -- excellent tested code already exists and may already have bindings to their language (e.g., numpy/scipy).

The real problem with this book is it is sometimes the first and only introduction to applied mathematics. I first saw it in 2005 as an undergraduate physics major. Later, when I mentioned to my applied math PhD advisor, he was appalled. I was at first surprised by his response, but after finishing my PhD program and spending a few years in the field, I agree with him.

Unfortunately, applied mathematics has not produced a competing generalist manual to the breadth of our field. In part, this is because the field is large and complex; to even understand the basics of modern algorithms requires a level of mathematical sophistication not taught in undergraduate math (see, e.g., GMRES). There are good books that cover specific topics in Numerical Recipes, e.g., Trefethen's Spectral Methods in Matlab and Trefethen and Bau's Numerical Linear Algebra, but they (rightfully) don't provide a pithy answers as to which algorithm to use. These books showcase different algorithms and illustrate the situations where they are or are not appropriate. This latter part requires significant significant sophistication to understand. Implementing an algorithm, easy. Choosing the right algorithm; aye, there's the rub. And that is where Numerical Recipes fails.
>Most naturalised citizen vote democratic

Doesn't that mean something to you? It is no wonder many democrats want even more immigrants. Look at a state such as California...

27% of California's population was foreign born, about twice the US percentage.

Don't you think these politicians are aware of this and it is undoubtedly the reason they want even more immigrants? It has nothing to do with caring for other humans for them. It is all about increasing the number of democrats as much as possible irregardless of whether it is good for the country or not. Don't let them take you for a ride.

>Steve Jobs was the son of Syrian immigrants

These occurrences will be there from time to time but look at how and when these immigrants came to America.

There was a time when it was much harder to come to America and that meant that only the best people went to America. Not just everyone and anyone. The DV lottery program was the beginning of the end for the right kind of immigration to America.

When I look at the caliber of people that actually made it to America from my country before this was introduced, man, they were smart, hardworking and any country losing them to America felt the pinch. Now, the DV program has been sending just about anyone regardless of whether they were adding value to America. It is an indicator that it is on longer understood that even though immigration is good, it is only as good as the caliber of people you let in.

Who should be let in you ask? Those seeking education, expatriates, entrepreneurs, scientists etc. Not everyone.

If you expect others to engage you in nuanced discussion, you need to do so yourself, which not only means being more careful with language like "indiscriminate", but also includes avoiding sweeping generalizations like "left to the devices of Trump's detractors, the ultimate goal is to be as limitless as you can."

All around are accusations of "they're not listening to us", "they don't really understand the problem", "they don't realize the logical conclusion of their positions". A lot of people are barely talking at each other, much less actually with each other.

I can — and do — honestly say we live in times where we need to spend a lot more effort in listening and understanding each other, as people, as opposed to partisans.

In hindsight, this is deliciously ironic advice considering the noteworthy cesspool of Dreg's creation. In 2012 I ventured into the Craigslist chatroom to determine why a posted item I had listed was 'ghosted'. I believe the answer was too many numerals in my description(RV: model year, mileage, doors, beds, etc.). After my attempt to satisfy the ambiguous criterion to no effect I returned and cited numerous examples other than mine that exceeded the reason given but were not ghosted. The result was every ad I had listed was then ghosted and every relist and new creation was ghosted by default. I ended up creating a new disposable, copy+pasted new listings verbatim without incident and sold most items. Listing a recently deceased family member's possessions was a chore, reaching out to Dregslist chat turned it into a nightmare.

Why isn't Dreg using these funds to cleanup harrasment, data farmers and scammers on 'his' site?

It depends on what you want to do. If your goal is to be a web developer or a game programmer then no, it's a lot of time investment and you'll come out of it still needing to learn a lot on the job.

If your goal is to go into a more academic area like AI or some other topic that's more of an area of R&D, then it's probably more worthwhile. If your goal is to be an academic, then obviously you need not only a masters but a PhD.

Yes, a terminal master's degree in CS is absolutely worth it for a person in your position looking to make a career switch. It will help you learn things you do not know and qualify you for many jobs you would not currently be considered for. A CS masters is not the only way to do what you're trying to do, but it may be the easiest. You do not have to attend a prestige university or a win a scholarship to make this path worthwhile, though certainly those things are nice if you can get them.

I would not say the same thing to someone who already has a BS in CS; but for someone looking for a career switch like you are, it makes a lot of sense.

> Write tests first

What does this have to do with TBD vs branch based? Should be that way either way. In fact TBD breaks down if you don't write your tests.

> A branch doesn't move to prod on a commit

Are you saying your shipping branches to prod regardless as to if it's on trunk or not?

Or perhaps your whole comment is just saying how TBD is supposed to work and your agreeing with me?
> No, I represente those that have real life experience in the industry, and don't care one little second about lock-in

An oxymoron. Those who care about the industry understand perfectly well, how lock-in is a problem for it. It's like saying that MS cared about the Web so much, that they pushed ActiveX, to benefit it.

Dan Baker (from Oxide) wrote[1] about problems of lock-in and need for portability in computer graphics. And don't try claiming he doesn't know about the industry, he is one of the creators of DirectX itself.

Oxide put their words in action, and were involved in Mantle creation, and naturally participate in the Vulkan working group.

> don't see lock-in as a burden, rather as a way to make the game exclusive and sell their IP. Which incidently is something I bet you also don't agree wit

Yes, I see exclusivity as a stinking practice. Why would creator want to exclude some users on purpose? Normal creator tries the opposite, to reach as many users as possible. Only backwards thinking legacy publishers don't do that. But they aren't equal to creators.

Also, normal creators don't call their art "IP". Just a hint for you, whom you really represent.

I find no problem with temporarily banning immigrants from those countries until we have a better vetting system in place. It's actually one of the more intelligent things Trump has suggested.

Obama, for instance, put a temporary ban on citizens from Iraq (many other presidents have done the same thing). The difference is that he was seen as a god and the press wouldn't dare write something that would disparage him. Most people probably didn't even know about the ban.

However, I do have a problem with banning green card holders and travelers coming back to the US. There also needs to be some time to think things through and figure everything out with Homeland Security.

Ask HN: Please Share Your Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku and Engine Yard reviews
Hello
I am finalising platform for my new product built on top of RoR/Postgres. I have used Heroku before and it is BEST as far you have $$ in your pocket. Alternative to it I have come across Elastic Beanstalk and engine yard. To be honest engine yard looks just DevOps service on top of Amazon EC2 to me rather then a pure PaaS. Elastic Beanstalk looks closer to what Heroku offers PLUS you have more control over your system. We are looking a platform where we can focus on our product rather then its deployment issues.

I would be very thankful if you share your reviews if you have used Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk or even engine Yard.
