I think you are underestimating expansion ratios (ratio of volume of liquid and gas at reasonable pressure). The ratio for water vapour at sea level is ~1000x. The "large bag" might end up being so large that it's weight is a significant fraction of the weight of the fuel it contains.
The original sense of creativity has gone lost towards 'tying things together'. You can easily tie things together on an iPad but its comparatively hard to actually create something new.

If you've got a decent NVidia GPU, you should be alright.

I understand that Theano can support other (non-NVidia) GPUs using OpenCL, but I haven't tried this. Part 2 of the course requires TensorFlow (which doesn't support OpenCL, AFAIK), so you're better off sticking with NVidia unfortunately.
Focus on engagement. Twitter's value is LIVE, but they've never leveraged push notifications and text messages in a way that makes sure you never miss out when important/relevant conversations are happening, so how are you supposed to know when there's interesting content to engage with?

Right now you can turn on notifications for a user's tweets, but that gives you push notifications for all of their tweets which is super annoying. Also, 99% of users don't know that exists.

Their recent move to make trending topics and search more visible in the iPhone app is a step in the right direction but they're a long ways off.

FOMO and live is how they're different from Facebook. I can always go back to Facebook at any time and they'll show me what I missed and I can still engage with it. With Twitter, the discussion has come and gone and I'm left out if I don't know it's happening.

Hope that helps.
I think I agree. I'm up for complex keyboard interfaces and simple, ASCII-ish graphics - I play a lot of roguelikes - but something about Dwarf Fortress's interface still rubs me the wrong way. I do want graphics to be pretty, even if they're simple, and I do want controls to be elegant, even if they're keyboard-based.

The default tiles are ugly - unnecessarily ugly - and the keyboard controls don't seem great. (Like a sibling to this comment says, consistency has a lot to do with it, and not having to move your hands far around the keyboard is nice.) Then again, I admit I haven't spent that much time with it.

So I do find the interface offputting, but it's not because I want a flashy, dumbed-down one. And it's a bit frustrating whenever I see criticism of the Dwarf Fortress interface dismissed in those terms.
The thing about CSS is you can alter the properties very easily. You can use things like opacity to fake some things with gifs, but you can't change line thickness or color. My experience with SVG is that some things are easy to change with CSS and some aren't, depending on the browser. Support for SVG as background images is poor, so you have to have a bunch of tags declaring the file path or sprite in your markup if you need to use one graphic in multiple places. Using just CSS animation with pseudo elements, your graphic is declared in one place and can be easily changed and reused. Improvements to SVG support would make those advantages null, but that's why I have been using more CSS for small icons(eg indicators) and using SVGs for graphics(things like logos that will only show up on the page once).
> Every game action can literally be performed with the keyboard, and this means that I don't need to wait for the text on menus to mentally register, move a mouse, click. I can essentially type the commands at speed.

This is a sentiment that crops up again and again. In particular as long time users of a terminal ui (not necessarily CLI but using ASCII/ANSI to draw the interface, and keyboard for input) when they transition to a GUI replacement.

The thing about keyboards is that they are designed to be used without looking. Special keys have special shapes to make them stand out. Every key is in a fixed location. And certain ones are marked but a bump or similar to make them easy to find by touch and thus use as navigational aides.

Yes, mouse and touch screens make it easier and faster to localize and develop a UI. But we humans are quite capable of doing repetitive tasks with our hands without looking.

I think that in RTS and MMORPG circles there is a certain degree of disdain for "clickers". People that operate the game mostly via mouse. This because it is slower and thus limits how quickly they can react to in-game events.

If automation was creating 40-hour/week jobs with benefits, I think people would be pretty happy with it. Instead it's polarizing the labor market into underemployed service workers and overemployed professionals.
I mostly agree, but I'd like to propose that "the capability" you speak of is one that needs training. I may have the capability to figure skate, but you don't want to watch me try!

I think the big point here is that reasoning, critical thinking and assorted mental disciplines are no longer taught, or at least downplayed in contemporary education. People won't practice, and certainly not enjoy, skills they've never been acquainted with.

Conspiracy theories say that this is something the Powers That Be inflict on us intentionally. I can't be sure but I think the blame could just as easily rest with simple bungled priorities and seemingly expedient cost-cutting measures.
Great story.

Have you ever played the game "Knights and Merchants" (1997) -- it was such a fun game, as you had your little serfs who had to do all the work, but you also had your little armies that you could fight another player with.

The AI was flawed, the serfs, once the population got to around 100 or so, would starve to death frequently as they couldnt figure out how to get to the inn to get food and drink...

It was especially fun and funny when playing against a friend in the same room, you've built your village to the point where youre able to raise an army to smite your foe - but the AI goes bonkers, the serfs start to die off and your economy is ruined to the point that even two soldiers can show up and raze your entire town...

Ill never forget the laughter we had at one's serf's death knell "HNUUGGGHHHH" as they die, and the giddy feeling you had if you could take them out with just a few soldiers.

I'd like to be able to use Rust in QEMU one day, but just at the moment it doesn't support all the platforms QEMU does. The sheer range supported by a standard GCC C toolchain is very hard for a new language to catch up to.

(It mostly has support for the CPUs we support and for the OSes but not always in all combinations, eg no ARM FreeBSD support. It also sometimes doesn't support the range of OS versions we do, eg no OSX 10.6 support, no support for Windows before Windows 7. And some things are only in Rust's tier 3, like OpenBSD support. We'd also need to dump some of the "probably nobody's using this really" older platform support code, like ia64 or Solaris.)

Oh, and Rust would need to be in the stable/LTS releases of distros before we could use it. That's going to take time to percolate through.
It's fairly early stage but I've been actively building an alternative to Pocket called Filltray (https://filltray.com). I found myself being overwhelmed by products like Pocket/Instapaper so wanted to build something different. A place to keep things for "short" periods of time but without the baggage of having 100s of items permanently on your never-ending reading list. A "do-later" place that may or might not come around. A couple months ago I put up a public roadmap (https://medium.com/filltray/public-product-roadmap-3964c3fa4...) and I'm continuing to work hard to produce a product which meets mine — and I think others — needs for a rethink on read-later. Please feel free to follow @filltray to keep up to date with my progress :)!

No. You can build your own machine, use Google Computer Engine (https://cloud.google.com/gpu/), or even just stick with CPU while you get your feet wet.

I have such a strong password that typing it repeatedly on a mobile device isn't doable. And so I use PINs or fingerprints, depending on device. I find this acceptable because I worry less about physical access to my device, versus somebody gaining access to my encrypted database, which is also stored on Dropbox.

But I still expect that storing the master password locally is secure, otherwise why the fuck am I paying them for?

Speaking of LastPass, I've noticed them doing stupid things like this in the past and the problem is that I feel those bugs wouldn't have been discovered and made public if they weren't so popular. And I expect such a company to take security seriously, because this is what they sell. Hard-coding a symmetric encryption key isn't a minor slip up, this is the kind of mistake that I for one couldn't do, even though I'm no security expert. If they could do such an obvious mistake, then I can't trust them, regardless of their response time.

Informationally, it's talking about something quite different. The NY Times piece looks at what specific issues are front-of-mind. The Economist, whether or not things are "on track". And at a single point in time rather than over 70 years, as with the Times.
I doubt it will, as this seems to be more of a "vault" system, similar to the already existing EA Access. How that works, is that they will release the game full price just as always, and after sales slow down they will add it to the vault. This seems to be more of a classic Netflix scenario rather than a modern one, where this is a way to make money after sales slow down.

But the game pales in comparison to the beauty and replayability of Dwarf Fortress. I've been playing DF for 5 years and I still feel like a novice. Toss in modding and the game goes even further.

I understand your point of view, but I'm sad that amazing and well-designed games like Nethack and Dwarf Fortress don't get a fair shake because they're fixed width tile games. DF is a simulation game of stunning proportions.

Ask HN: I hate my SaaS startups, what should I do?
Hey there,

Using a throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I'm currently running two bootstrapped SaaS startups on my own, making around $2000 a month. Both are working great, are (relatively) feature complete and I constantly get great feedback and compliments from customers.

My problem is, I HATE marketing. I just hate everything about it. Looking at SEO or growth hacking forums fill me with disgust. The same with writing cold call emails or blog posts.

I know I need to do marketing in order to make them sustainable, but I fail miserably at it.

I'm a problem solver. I love talking to customers, identifying their pain points and writing code that solves them.

I don't have the money to hire someone to do the marketing for me. I've put everything I have into these startups for the last 3 years, so shutting them down is really not an option.

What should I do?
Totally aggre on that. But there will be a fix soon.

Refocus the company to be the Netflix of live TV, focusing on the delivery of live sports and news broadcasts while enabling fans/viewers to discuss in real time.

It's a greenfield space no one else is really jumping upon yet. Focus may have turned to on-demand TV, but people still want to watch sports live, and Twitter already has acquired some of those deals as the sport franchises get more comfortable with online distribution. Trump's tweets, the presidential debates broadcast on Twitter and the fact people turn to Twitter during breaking news make it a logical extension to move into news and possibly finance too.

Twitter's modern-day utility seems very low outside of news/sports/politics and the average joe has moved their engagement to more visual platforms like Instagram and Snapchat where it is much easier to create and consume more personal content and updates.

Twitter would also be able to focus their monetization and advertising efforts around a much tighter content and audience niche. Plus consumers are used to paying for some of this premium content, making monetization of a freemium model even easier.
Project Zero is taking names lately. I wonder if other firms will "retaliate" with their own Project Zero-style security teams.

Agreed but it's quite fair in the context of modern gaming. A lesser game might even have a tech tree and a progression acting as a tutorial. "You have reached a population of 20! You can now build cabinets and statues!"
This is pretty cool and encouraging.

I do think if your after hypergrowth you need some money though.
Exactly. The whole premise is a cop out. Software engineers will collectively all care about privacy and security when their employers do. The employers will when their users/customers demand it. For right now, they prefer free to private/secure.
It will take an outside force to change that like legislation or if people get in "trouble" for sharing things that disagree with the powers that be.

The super hard thing is to help people value their privacy/security.

They already share everything on their social accounts showing they don't really care. They only care when an ex uses that information to stalk them or something. Or they make stupid myopic comments like "I have nothing to hide..." until you do because one of your FB friends has a muslim sounding name. Then they want privacy and security but still only from that person/group.
What I do to point out differences is to provide a comment with a code block with diff format.

```diff

-- old text

++ new text

```

Github will highlight that as a diff.

Strictly, that's not true. The exploit here is access to the filesystem environment of the host process from the guest. That happens entirely within the Qemu process and is invisible to SELinux.

What you're saying, I think, is that the SELinux could have been used to encapsulate the host process from the rest of the system. Which is true, but sort of specious. Traditional unix security paradigms (e.g. run every guest instance in its own UID, whatever) would have worked fine to mitigate the damage too.
