The chlorine in water will evaporate into the air if left in an open container; Pour yourself a glass of water, and let it stand for 30-60 minutes. It should then taste a LOT less Chlorine-y. Even in a sealed container you shouldn't be able to taste it after about 3 days. This is why water from a mains pipe tastes of chlorine, but the same water pumped into a water tank (for heating etc), doesn't.

Given the massive volume difference it's possible you're right.

Getting reliable numbers for the CPU market in general is annoyingly hard. I'd really like to see how the numbers for PPC and MIPS are developing.

Also older CPUs that are now treated as microcontrollers, like Z80 and 6502 descendants.

Western Design Centre has a statement about annual volume in the hundres of millions for 6502 descendants on their website [1], which if true means it's somewhere in the same region as MIPS, PPC and x86 for one of the top 4-5 spots after ARM.

My point though is what you're "measuring" is quite difficult to do in a clinical setting, let alone every day living your life.

The above poster talking about the deli sandwich mentally breaking down all the ingredients... I'm happy to be proven wrong but I simply don't believe you can do that with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

I suppose this is turning in to quite a pedantic argument about the definition of "count". I'd call what everyone has said they're doing more accurately a "calorie estimating food diary".

My initial post was genuinely curious about how people can be so accurate when eating foods from a variety of non pre-measured sources. It turns out they're not being accurate.

You are right, I will change it to two letters.
Birds of a feather flock together. The truth of this old adage never hit me until my late twenties by which time I had changed places and jobs a few times. Growing up with an ill defined idea of who a friend was, I imagined I would have friends of all kinds around me who would challenge my thinking and perceptions by simply being who they are. Like some carefully assembled bouquet of exotic flowers I thought I would, of course, have a hippie friend, a nerd friend, a gothic friend, whatever, but over the years I learnt that the people I like talking to and the people whose company and conversations I enjoyed were almost exclusively a subset of the people I went to university (and later, graduate school) with. I found that people I knew from an earlier period in my life, like a neighbor or a high school friend, came to see me as being different because of the wildly different path I had taken later in life. I would like to imagine that close friends from a young age don't just fade away because you went to a different school or took a different job, but that's how it has played out consistently in my life. In brief encounters with such friends I learnt that they treated me differently and were too eager to put me down, either out of some deep insecurities, afraid of who I was or simply from an effortless nastiness that came to them. I think this (late twenties) is a time when some people become acutely perceptive of keeping score and start playing the status game etc. I uniformly avoid such idiots from my social life, when I just want to hang out without the specter of my career looming over every conversation.
How is that "free work"? Automated usage can threaten a site's bottom-line, and even its existence. A site resorts to Google's CAPTCHA's service because they don't have the money to build their own detector. It's not a service that was free for Google to create.

edit: Also worth noting that some of this "free work" that users do for Google is used to improve bot-detection overall. The comment to this blog post (the post itself, and its paper are great reads) is a nice example:

https://security.googleblog.com/2013/10/recaptcha-just-got-e...

Essentially, the user is complaining (and justifiably so) of being served the pre-Street-View versions of CAPTCHA; I had forgotten how bad they could get: http://i.imgur.com/01F2eES.png

Show HN: Composer-git-hooks – A composer package for easily managing Git hooks
One item on my TO-DO list is hooking up an electric guitar to an oscilloscope and frequency analyzer and do a video and/or blog post about the applied physics of heavy metal guitar sound.

There are tons of tricks employed in guitar playing to create interesting sounds by manipulating harmonics, by both the guitarist and the effect and amplifier signal chain.

Most guitarists that use these tricks are completely unaware of the physical phenomena involved. And the non-guitarist physics geeks always enjoy when I give a short demo with lots of distortion and artificial and natural harmonics tricks.
I'm not freeking out. I'm pointing something out. However, you really need to understand these statistics better. There are three types of bird mating pattern:

First year breaders. These tend to be small birds who lay eggs, feed the young, teach them to fly and forget about them. First year breaders die at an enormous rate. I think that more than half don't survive the first year. But they lay a lot of eggs and if a few billion of them are eaten by cats and hit by cars it doesn't matter.

Seccond year birds. These are almost as expendable as first year breaders, however, they teach their young how to find food and some cultural things as well. Far fewer of these die, but they are smarter and they don't hit windows as much.

Large birds which bread at older ages. These birds spend even more time with their parents, and there are only one or two eggs per year! They rarely die before they reach maturity but every life counts. They basically NEVER die from running into windows, but they aren't smart enough to not get killed by wind turbines.

So the numerical statistics are meaningless. It is like saying that the death of a single human doesn't mean anything at all, because we tend to swat a lot of mosquitoes.
So you'd do the work if it were not productive but not otherwise? Like, if they just threw away your input into the CAPTCHA after confirming you're human, you're okay with that? Or do you just hate CAPTCHAs on principle?

You're begging the question of what the lambda calculus is. As a theoretical basis for computing it sits equivalently with Turing machines. In practical use, there are consequences with trying to represent the computation with one or the other model, and our physical hardware resembles neither, really.
Clutch timing! Been working on several projects amassing a multi-purpose stylesheet (currently ~600 lines) having already conceded that a tool which accomplishes exactly this would be needed.

I kept it because at that point the hassle was over and returning it would have been more hassle. I didn't cancel it before it arrived because I really needed a laptop.

However, I switched jobs a few days before it arrived and got a work MBP so ended up not using the Dell and selling it a few weeks later.

It was the 2015 model and it was a nice laptop. A friend of mine also got one (same model) and still loves his.

My impression is that they (or at least the 2015 models) are great laptops, but I have no desire to ever deal with Dell again.

Interestingly, I'm looking for a new laptop right now and was briefly excited for this one, but then remembered my ordeal and read others' here. I will probably get a MacBook instead unless I find a decent non-dell alternative. It has to be a good bit cheaper than a MacBook (any) otherwise I may as well just get that instead.
Network-Wide HTTPS Coming to Stack Exchange
I'm curious though, how do these minifications, or CSS minifications in general, affect runtime performance? Reducing the file size is great, and a goal in itself (though brotli is more important where gzip is supported), but another important goal is rendering the page fast. Some CSS selectors are faster than others, is this something minifiers take into account? Or is this not significant at all?
But you use their service for free, right?
You'd think you should be more confused about how alcohol is as accepted as it is.

I feel more pity for the way people still want to impose control over other folks life – and quietly dream of the day more people accepted that substance abuse is the problem, not the substances themselves (and gave more room for personal responsibility and different choices in life). I personally don't see a fundamental difference in people turning away from society for e.g. spiritual reasons, or because they want to get high, but think they should only do so if they can afford it wholly by themselves. (I do accept if assistance – financial, etc.. - comes with obligations.)

I wish I could know.. I went away to college... years away. It was hard to leave friends, but I knew I'd see and talk to them again someday. Two of my best friends, within weeks of talking to them, they passed away. Both incidents happened years apart, but both died exactly the same way. And both.. I had just recently gotten in touch with again... only to lose both just weeks afterwards.

Even sadder.. I had premonitions of "losing a best friend" and I did nothing to warn either of them, ignoring it like it was just a dream, when in reality, it was a vision.

But when I did speak to them, it was as if we picked up right where we left off. For the one friend, I hadn't spoken to him in over 4 years. The other friend? At least 6 years. I still call them my best friends because I grew up with them. Life happened and it caused us to not talk as much anymore, but like I said: When they are your best friend.. you pick up right where you left off, no matter how many years apart you were.

Both losses caused me to write what was in my heart.

I believe the trackpad is laid out that way so that you can comfortably rest your left hand on WASD and right hand on trackpad for mouselook, when playing FPS or RTS type games. For non-gaming uses or left-handed users, I agree it is a complete non-starter. Also I tend to think that if you are serious enough to spend $4k on a gaming laptop, you can probably just shell out for a decent mouse instead of using the trackpad.
I do that not because I want to not be tracked, but because I am bad at computers and don't want to accidentally install a virus because blatting and starting again would be an bunch of effort and it's not like my stuff is backed up or anything.

Sometimes though I wonder if I shouldn't turn adblock off, for example, and then I'm at work and some website auto-plays video and I remember.

It does get a bit misleading to generalize, because there may indeed be localized instances where turbines unduly affect a specific sensitive bird population.
The hope is, that long term the first stages can basically be refueled and be ready for relaunch. Of course, only experience will tell how much that is possible. One big difference though is, that unlike the space shuttle boosters, the Falcon first stages are not dumped into salt water on landing. This is one of several reasons, they chose not to go via parachutes for their first stage recovery.
I had success with a smartphone app (loseit) and estimating. You really don't need to be more precise. Lost 3-4 kilos in a month. Doing a rough calculation will often do the trick, that one sandwich could be 400-500 calories, and you had two beers, which is already 400-500. A weight losing calculator suggested you can eat about 2000 calories that day. So that's already half o your daily intake. But if you go run or cycle for an hour you can eat maybe 300-400 more. Keeping track breaks the bad eating habits.

Ask HN: How do you find out more on a company work environment before applying?
Hey there,

I’m a self-taught web developer and I think that before applying to a company (someone that is not Google, Facebook, you name it) there is no much information about the company itself. The about pages are pretty scarce in information and are mostly cliche bullshit. That’s why I thought of reaching out to companies and ask them for an interview or a discussion about them as a team.

So, now I’m trying to find out if you guys have the same feeling as me and you would love to find out more about:
- how that company works in terms of workflow
- how is the atmosphere as in they usually have ping pong competitions on Fridays or something like that
- something that the company believes is specific to them
- why should you join them and not because they change the world, everybody says that

If you do want to read about these kind of things then please subscribe here > http://eepurl.com/cFBioD to the email list, so that I can gauge your interest and move forward with the initiative and start contacting companies.

Also, feel free to recommend in the comments any company you would like to find out more about and which specific questions would you like me to ask them.

Thanks and I can’t wait for your feedback!

In addition to education, just having less miseducation would be a start.

I suspect part of the problem is that if anyone ever admits to skipping breakfast they're shamed and guilted about as much as if they'd started the day by doing lines of cocaine. The breakfast nazis are out in force, and they push this idea on people when they're very young (even though breakfast is mostly a scam made to sell sugary grains).

Anecdata, but I only started to lose weight and feel healthier when I switched to only eating when I was hungry. Most of my eating had been to adhere to US social norms or combat boredom (while not great, diet soda worked to fight the latter until I got used to the idea that I didn't need to be consuming stuff). For all the "education" out there, "you don't have to eat if you're not hungry" is shockingly rare advice.
My own experience is that I can get the same satiety for the same duration with somewhat less food by taking smaller bites and spending more time chewing. This takes longer, of course, so my assumption was that the mechanism was simply that I would have eaten less by the time my blood sugar rose and turned off my hunger.

But I suppose it's also possible that I'm making the solids and liquids harder to gravitationally separate--essentially blending a smoothie with my teeth.

If so, just taking your time and enjoying the flavor of the food could be a more convenient and appetizing alternative to a chicken-broccoli smoothie.

CHARGE MORE!

This is easily worth $5 per month per user. It's Github, but lean and fast. There are very few people who would sign up at $1 per month who wouldn't sign up at $5 per month.

Also- if you're trying to make this into a business, self-hosting is something that you can get companies to pay for. Github Enterprise pricing is [obscene](https://enterprise.github.com/features#pricing) compared to the pricing for hosted, and companies pay it.

I think this is fantastic- great work.

I am no academic, but I read a lot of papers and going to write one this year. I skimmed the paper without getting into details about the protocol itself, but made some observations about the paper in general.
My personal very subjective opinion on how the paper might be reinforced is presented below.

1. Add a system model description under which your protocol is expected to operate.

2. Add description of fault-tolerant properties of the protocol.

3. Do you plan to prove correctness of the algorithm more formally?
Maybe you could model the algorithm before publishing. If you prove a safety property using model checking it could considerably reduce doubt about an algorithm correctness.
