when I order, maybe (at most) 25% of the screen that clearly says "Browse our store". Then I see a menu: dairy/produce/breakfast/butcher/bakery. I pick a category, and select a product, then a short, embedded video plays (that is easy to mute/cancel). (The kind of video is where you hover over the thumbnail and it plays, not click a youtube link). Then it says "Today we've got Choice Sirloin for $4.99/lb, farm raised, corn-fed from Johnny's out in Arkansas (quick clip of Johnnys farm). Also consider pairing with this recipe of beets (cue link to purchase beets and all ingredients for sauce ).

Actually, that just occurred to me, if you included recipes with the advertising, that wouldn't bother me at all. Just like reddit's DIY, start with the finished "product", then say " to make this, buy these things" (of course with a shortcut to just add them all to your cart) "and do this:" (cue to video of person making the dish).

but back to advertising, just quick (15s) videos with simple information and price. maybe with sideways scrolling so if I'm looking at margarine, it also has quick links to butter and vegetable oil. Don't skimp on video: each product has the same demo video/advertisement so I can compare them.
So these are autofocus for you eyes (there's not much meat in the article)?
>I strongly reject the criticisms that Go is meant for "mediocre" programmers

I don't know how else to describe people who don't resent being second-class citizens under the library designers, who don't insist on being able to create their own abstractions and use them with the operators that slices or maps support. The language has extensible interfaces but doesn't use them for things like iteration and equality.
That only usefully works if you only contact other burner phones. If you use this to talk to friends and family, it's essentially worthless as it's extremely easy to find out who the one "anonymous" contact is they keep calling, if one has the network view which seems to be part of the threat model here.

Notable example: The CIA's Sabrina De Sousa got caught in a similar way.

> Phone records show calls made from De Sousa’s phone to one of the kidnappers eight months before the operation and around the time of the abduction [0]

So: If you really want to leave no usable trace, never ever use the same prepaid sim card in different burner phones, rotate them every so often (physically destroying them after you're done) and only call and be called by other burners.

That's probably a little much, and I would advise someone trying to do this to ensure that this matches their threat model. Unfortunately that's become somewhat harder in recent years wrt to just existing in the digital space.

I don't think you can say that IMDB's management is unaware of how to manage community engagement. It is an offshoot of a usenet community from the early 1990s and the founder is still actively involved in the site. IMDB is one of the oldest and most successful user-contributed media sites on the web.
PhpList 3.3.0 – Sleeker. Faster. Safer
A Better Way to Track Changes for Writing Research Documents
Yeah but that's corporate bullshit to avoid litigation by admitting there's a problem. As a company IMDB is not especially interested in movies or in the quality of the service they provide to users, only in maximizing the revenue stream from them. They have a very aggressive approach to gathering data; if any of your personal information shows up in their database it's virtually impossible to get it removed, for instance.
I very clearly said component and "close to", so I don't think what I said merits a correction.
OneSignal – High volume, cross platform  push notification delivery
Why is that? Why do you claim not everyone has the potential to become a math genius? Do you have any evidence to back that up (besides Ratatouille)?
Better yet, just consider all deduction as "a fun language game," rather than having any intrinsic truth or falsity. If you assume a whole bunch of stuff and the axiom of choice, you can get these interesting things over here. If you assume that same bunch of stuff but not the axiom of choice, you get this other interesting stuff over there.

Which assumptions to use at any given time just depend on what you're trying to do. If I'm trying to count my sheep, I just need enough axioms to get me addition of natural numbers. If I'm trying to model some mechanical trajectory, maybe I ought to grab some reals. Got circles? Adding imaginary numbers to the reals makes that easy, even though imaginary numbers are totally "fake." Using sentences that might not make sense? Maybe avoiding the excluded middle is a good idea.
Today's startups are tomorrow's huge stack of legacy software that Nobody Wants To Touch Because It's Our Core Business though; I'd say Go is a pretty good choice for those due to its simplicity and shunning of 'clever' code. Companies like Paypal, Ebay, and probably a few others have (had?) a huge load of old Java code and only recently spent a lot of time cleaning that up (iirc Paypal went with Node, at least for its forward-facing things)

I don't know how maintainable 10-year old Ruby code is though, on the other hand.
Yup. From Financial Review:

"Before Apple’s Steve Jobs died in 2011, he told Google cofounder and CEO Larry Page that his company was trying to do too much. As Page later told the Financial Times, he replied, “If we just do the same things we did before and don’t do something new, it seems like a crime to me." Yet Page also acknowledged that Jobs was right in one sense: he could manage only so many things before too many would get lost in the shuffle."

I think the problem here is if people were happy with what they had in 2003, why change it?
Not everything UI-wise in 7 or later is better than in XP I'd say. And apparently many people agree.
Actually I am still using 7 and all the UI stuff that's nixer than XP or even 2000 is just eyecandy and nothing "I would totally never go back". Because I would - if I needed a stable Windows that only came with XP's UI - so be it.

FWIW, I noticed recently that I've been using xmonad for 5 years (+/- 2 weeks) and still 100% happy. It lets me work efficiently and nothing has changed.
IMDb relies on users using the site, editing entries, facts, quotes and correcting things.

Are you sure about this? My impression is that they rely on IMDBPro subscriptions.
Hey, just want to chime in and say keep at it. I don't come from a highly educated family nor was I especially fond of maths, but one good advanced math course with a really brilliant professor in my undergrad made me switch majors. And yes, I also started to feel like everything around me was falling in its place; it's quite a rush, huh? I haven't read the article yet, but no matter what anyone else says or what you read I hope you continually pursue your love of math. :)
It's good for companies to stick to what they're good at. If social isn't a core part of your offerings, don't half ass it and let the poo flinging monkeys take over.
There's no denying it's at least flirting with "too clever" territory. What saves it for me is (1) the analysis of a large body of code that seemed to show only positive impact (2) that the behavior is well-documented and (3) anytime you're converting between types, you should always be thinking, "what is the range of these types? what information might get lost?", which with (2), should leave you alright.

But, I could easily see looking back in 2 years and realizing you were right.
You know what would be even better? Sorting the difference between M&Ms and Skittles :)
Actually, I wrote this tool to make searx's engine development easier. It is glad to see, that so many people find it useful. =)
P4 language. Truly defining networks via software is currently and will continue to be amazing.
I recently accidentally re-activated my old FB account from high school (deactivated 2010). It's all still there. It's more like "unpublishing" your account than really "deactivating" it.
All true. They've grown fat off user-created content, and are about to discover that their user base isn't that sticky and their database is easy to clone. AOL was once the biggest thing on the internet, and look at them now.

As a general matter, if you've ever wanted to disrupt an existing firm but have been unsure about whether it's practical to unseat an incumbent, times of economic and political uncertainty are absolutely the best environment to go about it. I don't think it's a coincidence that the first tech boom peaked at a time of (relatively minor) political crisis.
> To me they're very discrete things, if you can't manually manage memory(raw pointers and the like) then it's not a System Programming language.

Having a GC doesn't forbid that, in very specific cases.

Mesa/Cedar, Modula-2+, Modula-3, Oberon, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Component Pascal, System C#, Swift, D are all examples of such languages.
It's definitely expensive, but aren't they heavily AWS based? More importantly, aren't they an Amazon sub-company??
I understand that they could rearrange the resources elsewhere but I don't think, at least this time, it's a merely cash problem.
Why must it be someone is either on the enlightened side with you or "addicted to devices?" I go camping and play board games with my friends, but on my last long flight (for a trip where we left our devices off entirely) my partner and I played civ v the whole time on my tablet. You're at least as guilty of an extreme rhetoric as this specifically tech-oriented forum, and while I certainly agree there are people who spend too much time in front of the TV I don't think your message will change their habits. I also don't necessarily believe they would have been super-productive contributors to society if only the lcd screen hadn't been invented.

It's an apt metaphor. Much like programming, there are a hell of a lot of people driving who really shouldn't be.

How is Apple Music not a competitor?
I think they sort of gave up too soon on splitting up their repos. We've been through this before and made BitKeeper support a workflow where you can start with a monolithic repo, have ongoing development in it, and have another "could" of split up repos, sort of like submodules except with full on DSCM semantics.

Might take a look at section 5 of this:

http://mcvoy.com/lm/bkdocs/productline.pdf

which has some Git vs BK performance numbers.
We actually made BK pretty pleasant in large
repos even over NFS (which has to be slower
than NTFS, right?).

And BK is open source under the Apache 2 license
so there are no licensing issues.

I get it, Git won, clearly. But it's a shame that
it did, the world gave up a lot for that "win".
Thiel & Musk, two nerds who have "the kind of wealth that buys power" are advising (i.e. believing they can manipulate) Trump. One helluva void they got going there...
I did almost exactly the same thing. I was one of those kids that was always 'good' at math, but somewhere during high school they managed to effectively kill any interest I'd ever had in math. I went into university with the intention of studying computer science and a plan to try to take as few math classes as I could get away with. However after my first 'real' math course at university I instantly realised that I actually loved math (always had) and switched from CS to math at the end of the semester.
The "minion cores"[1] idea in the LowRISC RISC-V project is a promising idea.

It looks a lot like the PRUs in the Beaglebone black, where you could have normal, non-real time OS (linux) run on the main cores, but delegate real time tasks to the minion cores...and they share memory directly with the main cores.

Basically, you end up with the capabilities of both a Raspberry PI and an Arduino, on a single chip.

Do you know any 'shitty mathematician' in person, or is it just another stereotype?
I suspect that google knows this, had made a calculation that the downsides are worth the real estate cost, and is spinning it in a more positive light.
GameBoy Advance as a MIDI synthesizer
It's a shame to see the boards go, but I can understand their reasoning.

Letterboxd and the others are handy for tracking movies, but I found that using Google Sheets with the OMDB API is much better. I can pull the information that I want and easily input titles from lists on Letterboxd and other sites. Add 'Cloud Ignite' instead of pulling from the XML though. Going straight to the XML isn't reliable.

For those looking for good conversations, /r/flicks is the best bet. /r/truefilm is fantastic, but is geared toward long-form discussion.

Its unfortunate for the community. The IMDB boards have been handy over the years. I'm surprised they didn't move to something like Disqus.
That's a good point as well. It would be interesting if Apple or Microsoft bought out Planet and/or Digital Globe now and held their imaging data hostage. But I've always felt that maps was much more strategic to Google than any of its other businesses.
I dropped you an e-mail re: recommendations.
Yes and no. I spoke with an Epic engineer recently and he confirmed that Epic is still a front-end to HL7 databases. With that said, many PACS are adopting the WADO standard (https://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/projects/software/wado/), which provides a REST interface to radiology images. It makes it a lot easier to retrieve images for analysis, albeit you'd still have to implement DICOM/HL7 if you want to make a usable product.
I started following Scott Adams after reading his book. He is right about it. Few hours back some tweet from him was mentioned as 'unavailable' . I didn't bother much. After reading above post, I went back to check again, its appearing on his home page and its not on my feed. I can see his tweets before and after tweets. But this one is missing!

The REAPER user guide runs to 468 pages and barely scratches the surface. REAPER shines because it's massively customisable through ReaScript, JSFX and custom actions. A lot of essential functionality isn't developed by Cockos, but is part of external extensions - you'll need SWS installed for bread-and-butter stuff like r128 normalization, track notes and groove quantize.

REAPER is much more limited than Pro Tools or Nuendo out of the box, but it's vastly more powerful overall. You can use REAPER without learning it, but you'll miss out on most of what it has to offer.
It amazes me that no one has yet been able to build a self moderating message board that uses a combination of crowd sourcing and machine learning to lower the volumes of the microphones of bad actors. (while balancing it against the general concept of freedom of expression)

Hacker News is one of the better ones out there, but I think it comes more from having a smallish community and active moderation from above. Quora does a pretty good job of suppressing the content of trolls and spammers and those who are unable to provide positive content. But all of them could be improved.
Wow, I'm impressed lol. They went through some serious measures to gain an advantage. Such a simple concept and it has the power to turn friends into enemies. Reminds me of back when I use to play Mario Kart battle mode with friends, let's just say there was screaming and possible throwing of controllers lol.
Was going to say the same thing. Most of my professors were secretly platonists, though they had to pass as formalists to get respect in polite society. It's hard to make absolute claims about the nature of mathematical reality; the formalists need to explain why math is so successful in the real world, and the platonists need to give an account of the ontological nature of mathematical objects.
I don't know, but Google does frequently complain about not being able to find talent. Some of this is through fault of their own, but it is easy to imagine that they have not found suitable developers to fill the spot, for whatever reason it may be. They have lots of other business goals for what developers they do have. Putting their people on generics at the cost of some other business function may not be a good choice, even if it is theoretically possible.
It's good that people are finally talking about this. Like 7 years ago, people were commonly pretending that they liked it (or maybe they just didn't watch their productivity).
Only one thing matters - a validly formed blockchain with a total accumulated proof of work greater than that of any other individual chain.

This typically also means that the longest individual blockchain wins.

Welcome to HN, 5_minutes, are you really saying that because you think these interactions are "instantly forgotten," that that's a reason to keep the archives?
If hacker news doesn't stem the growth of trolling (which has pushed out plenty of my friends) then it probably will eventually "shut down" new signups for a while.
Not if they take a good class in Test-driven development (TDD) - which I would recommend to students. The "science" behind it will outlive the practice churn.
I think open-office is great.

It makes it much easier for independent developers to compete with large corporations.
Here's the commercial version.[1] This machine is sorting peas by color. Peas. Individual peas. Each individual pea is examined by cameras for size, color, and looking like a pea. Rejects are kicked into the reject hopper by an air jet. There are machines like this for most fruit. Typical throughput is a ton per hour. Most fruit and berries go through such machines today. That's why the fruit at the supermarket is so consistent.

The process looks like magic. Color-mixed items go in, and single-color items come out, on a line going so fast that no human can see what's happening. It's amazing to see computer vision systems that fast.

These machines work by putting the items on a conveyor belt, then dropping them on a much faster conveyor to spread them out. The fast conveyor goes past cameras, and at the end, launches the items into free flight for a few inches. While in flight, computer-controlled air jets knock out the rejects.

Music for playback is one thing. If you make music, analog and digital are worlds apart. Digital can do great things, but the one thing it can't do is fail gracefully. It's too consistent; because it's always perfectly accurate, it's never yours. Take two analog devices that came off the production line together; over time, they will end up sounding different from each other.

This is what musicians like. It's the individuality and texture of things that appeal to artists as much as the overarching form; that's why people still put paint on canvas with brushes or other tools despite the vast possibilities offered by graphics software.

I killed the foobar2000 task after waiting for several minutes.

You should've gotten a progress dialog, very briefly, because the process is quite fast. Did that step just take a while due to a slow disk, or did it hang? foobar2000 does scan the metadata and tags for all files on adding, so "search" and "jump" will work correctly when it's done on metadata that is not reflected in the file name or path. Winamp does not do this - it scans metadata and tags only on playback.

There's a few more differences like foobar2000 being able to scan inside archives. Winamp can't do this.

So the difference you saw is likely exactly because "search" and "jump" functionality is not actually guaranteed to work correctly in Winamp if you do what you say.
'What Killed the Linux Desktop' by Miguel de Icaza
Isn't the point to showcase his developer abilities? Not sure why he would need a pre-designed Web app for this.
It would be wasted work, because no one in the community would take it.

So better spend that time contributing to other parts of the Go ecosystem, or another programming language project.

That would be fine if there was exactly one law that could be used in this way, but there are a hundred thousand.
Nothing killed the Linux desktop. At the end of the day, it all comes down to the fact that the masses only have two options: Windows or Mac. People become set in their ways using a particular system either at home or work and there is basically no reason that they will ever be exposed to a Linux desktop, and if they are, they will find it just as impossible to use as any other OS that isn't the one they've used exclusively for 10 years.

Anecdotally, prior to the ubiquity of tablets, I've observed several computer illiterate relatives thrive on Ubuntu systems (gnome 2 and unity) because they needed a PC and I passed on an older machine with a fresh copy of Ubuntu. My uncle who had never used a PC more than 30 minutes at a time before I gave him an Ubuntu laptop half a decade ago barely uses his 2015 MacBook that my aunt bought him for his 62nd birthday because he is so comfortable with his Ubuntu machine.
I am still totally amazed by what people share from their private life FOR FREE on Facebook. If you want to beat Facebook you only have to make a similar platform that actually pay people for posting their private stuff. Would be a nice startup :)
It isn't so hot with mp4 tags though.

What do you mean exactly? mp4 tags in all variations, including various iTunes oddities, are fully supported.
"Google got it wrong." What exactly did google say about open-offices?
It's normal: you make such a big investment (moving to an open office), you have to pretend you didn't screw it up good.

Like when people pretended they liked standing desks because they spent $1000 in one. Imagine standing still for eight hours a day.
