These sorts of design would generally cover short term demand as they can be started and stopped very quickly.

Really I think if we were developing an energy mix now, and we had a blank piece of paper, it would read as:

- Modern nuclear for base load
- PV/Wind as much as possible
- A mix of things like this article, vehicle to grid, utility battery etc to cover peak demand
- Back up of gas turbines to be used as last resort

The main problem IMO is that nuclear power was extremely badly managed historically:

- Countries used it as a cover to generate weapons grade fissile material
- Modern designs were not invested in and developed sufficiently
- People have irrational fear of nuclear disasters when, actually, coal kills way more people than nuclear power ever has

As an aside, I went to visit the Dungeness nuclear reactor a couple of years ago, and I strongly recommend going if you live in the UK. It cost nothing and was incredibly interesting/a great experience.

Samuel L Ipsum – quotes from films which Samuel L Jackson has starred in
In OCaml :

let expression a b c = match (a, b, c) with
| (true, true, true) => 2,
| (true, true, _) => 1,
| (false, _, _) => 0

I like how pattern matching allows you to create something very close to a truth table. It allows you to visually see what's going on.

EDIT: Just realized that the two code examples in the parent's link don't even do the same... Look at the truth table, and look at the case of 1 1 0. The first code would indeed return 0, but not the second one. Derp.
I wonder how difficult would it be to do this with cloud services, I mean to scrape voucher codes for free credit. For instance when Digital Ocean announces some promo and you can get 10 USD worth of credit.

There are some sites that allegedly publish coupons, but I feel like a dummy only scrolling through those, it's full of ads and crap.

What would be the proper channels to scrape for promo codes of the cloud providers? Twitter feeds, something else?

While I don't think refactoring single use function is a win in every case, I think it makes sense when what you're trying to do in the block of code could be conceptually separated from the rest of the function - and named appropriately.

Arguments sometimes make this practice messy, especially if you find out that your detached subroutine requires 5 different arguments from its parent. But IDEs or smart editors with tooltips or goto-definition make this an almost no-brainer in most cases. Besides that, many languages allow you (or even force you in the case of Smalltalk and Objective C) to solve the argument readability problem at the language level. When it's really naked 'true', you could just use keyword arguments.
I'm a happy LMMS user of many years, but "It's like Ableton" is somewhere between wrong and not-even-wrong. It doesn't have anything like the feature set nor the basic paradigm of Ableton, and anyone trying LMMS on this basis will be seriously disappointed.

The actual comparison is FL Studio - because LMMS started as a cheap-and-cheerful open source clone of FruityLoops, to the point where many FL Studio how-tos (particularly for the 3x Oscillator, sorry Triple Oscillator) also work for LMMS.

LMMS also imports pretty well from Hydrogen, apparently.

LMMS plus points: it costs $0, and it's open source! Minus point: it has only volunteer developers, who come and go; there's no support organisation.

LMMS is very easy to get started on and it's lots of fun. The Woolworths guitar of disco; cheap, cheerful, inadequate and readily available.

[The Woolworths guitar was cheap and helped punk rock along greatly; Pete Shelley from the Buzzcocks had one that he'd basically beaten to a plank.]

Here's one thing people somehow don't understand.

An IPO is a mechanism for a company (and its investors and other stakeholders) to sell shares in exchange for money.

The investment bank that facilitates the IPO has the job of "marketing" those shares (and doing the administrative stuff around the IPO).

The goal in selling something is to get the best possible price. Therefore, a stock price that goes up at the date of the IPO and then declines below the initial price is the GOAL. It means the bank has done its job well. It got the maximum amount of money out of buyers.

If the price stood level, it would mean the bank had left money on the table. If the price went up immediately and then STOOD THERE, it would mean the bank severely underpriced the IPO. Thats the worst case scenario.
If the price dips immediately and nobody buys, it just means the IPO was overpriced.

This also means that buying at IPO means that you're getting screwed unless you want to hold longterm. You're always paying a premium, unless you believe that the investment bank made a mistake. And you obviously have more data to make that bet than goldman sachs does. Obviously.

As a smalltime investor, for whom there is essentially unlimited liquidity in the market, just don't buy IPOs. And don't get excited over IPOs dipping below opening price. It just means you don't understand the mechanism.

Seems pretty cool. I was actually thinking of building a similar 'accountless' file upload and sharing service, but this one is a lot better than what I was envisaging.

Question - would you, in the future allow uploading to configurable destinations, e.g. my own S3 buckets? Also, do you track the number of time a file asset was downloaded from your service so that the original uploader can check activity stats?

EDIT: Feedback - when I scrolled to the bottom of the home page, the "There is something I have to tell you" section is duplicated under itself.
Depending on where you live, an undergrad degree tends to be either 3 or 4 years. A grad, assuming you mean a masters, is usually 1 year. Agreed, an undergrad degree does teach you the fundamentals, but i reckon your focus should be on trying to get as much experience as possible.

Video-Description: The pace of modern life is accelerating, and the self-help shelves are groaning with advice on how to keep up – and stay positive in the process. But the demands of life in the fast lane come at a price: anxiety, fatigue and depression are at an all-time high, and our social interactions have become increasingly self-serving and opportunistic. Leading Danish philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann argues that we must not be afraid to reject the self-help mantra. The secret to a happier life lies not in finding your inner self, but in coming to terms with yourself in order to coexist peacefully with others.

The average Snapchat user isn't going to think about the process of uploading a picture to a central server which is then relayed to the intended recipients and then deleted on the proprietary client-side application (which can be worked around, the problem is that third-party may retain data indefinitely).

Do you know anything on the story of Bitwig vs Ableton? (Google gives me lots of feature comparisons, but not the story.)

I have to say I humbly agree with this advice - the NoFile.io name got me clicking (the most difficult hurdle) - then when stuff started to animate I thought 'oh' and closed the window. Perhaps this is small minded of me :-)
I talk about this all the time with my fiancé, who is head of IT for a foundation school in the UK (think, 4 to 6 year olds).

An interesting thing is your 2nd narrative (e.g. kids aren't computer literate because interfaces are so simple) has actually had a knock on effect to non computer skills.

For example, they noticed 5 years ago that childrens ability to pick up writing skills (fine motor skills with a pencil) was diminishing. At the same time, the school had purchased a bunch of tablet computers. They noticed kids could easily point a finger. And have since done a survey each year with parents to assess how many kids have tablets at home.

Year in year, the ability for children to learn to use a pencil has diminished, and the number of kids with tablets at home has increased.

In summary, simplified computer interfaces have made kids/parents lazy in developing fine motor skills and it's affected their ability to learn to write.

>Alcohol will be abused by highschool kids. It's a given

But in the UK it's not even regarded as "abuse". It's perfectly normal for 15 year olds to drink alcohol with their friends. (And not against the law, if they are doing it in private.)

There may be benefits to legalizing drugs, but the idea that it will reduce usage of them is a fantasy.

Just wrote a quick article about this -- http://claudiu.dragulin.com/2017/03/07/two-simple-tweaks-to-...

The main points are:

1. Pay attention to what you eat. In my case, eliminating potatoes from my lunch had a massive impact on how productive I was afterwards.

2. Pay attention to how much you eat. I noticed that the usual approach of eating until full doesn't serve me well in terms of focus and ability to concentrate afterwards. When I ate slightly less (until I felt about 70-80% full), I had more energy and a more focused mind for the rest of the day.

Of course, these are not hard rules (if they worked for me, they may not work for you). But take them as a rough guide and experiment on your own.

What's different to so-called 1-click hosters (rapidshare, mega, uploaded, ...)?

The main difference is that nearly all of these hosts specialize in a specific type of storage.
As an example MEGA forces all users to client-side encrypt files before uploading which is useful for sensitive files, but it comes with the cost of incompatibilities with older browsers and devices which can't decrypt/download the files.

Uploaded provides lots of space for the uploaders, but then pushes all users to its premium plan.
The site is ridiculously slow to use as a free user as they cap download speeds to 50 KB/s (they bump it up to a 70 KB/s if you take the time to sign-up).

NoFile bundles all the perks of the different hosts and gives the user more options and fewer limits.
You can upload large files and choose whether you want to password protect, encrypt or disable previews for your file while still giving the downloaders speeds of at least 2 MB/s.

It's just a simple file host that allows you to share files without having to worry about the downloaders being infected with a virus, not being able to download

What's your business model?

At the moment there is no revenue source.
As costs for the hosting go up, there will be a more "humane" premium plan added in the future, but it will targeted to very frequent users and as a free users you won't be affected by the changes.

How do you want to keep DMCA claims at bay?

If a valid DMCA request is sent in together with a link then we will be forced to respect the content creator and take the link down.

Does this work mobile?

This works on every single device regardless of whether you have Javascript enabled or not.
If you however enable the client-side encryption feature (currently in BETA) which is disabled by default then users on older browsers and devices won't be able to download your file.
I agree with the rest of the advice, but buying a home is not a good investment in all parts of the country/world, nor at all times. A home you own decreases your mobility and thus your employment options, especially if the labor or housing market in your area plummets in the future.

In other markets, home ownership and all its associated costs (including property taxes and maintenance) is more expensive in both the long and short term than renting.

For instance, for what I pay in rent in NYC (PLUS a down payment), I would have to commute at least 3 times as long to afford to buy an equivalent home. And also have to add the responsibility (in time and expense) for maintenance - from upgrading the plumbing to shoveling snow from the sidewalk.) Further, it'd be much more difficult to see friends, whom I'd no longer live near. That's all time that could instead be spent with friends and family, being healthier, or even making money on a side project or freelancing.

And if you get poor terms on your mortgage (think variable rate loans), you're just setting yourself up for pain.

As in the classes are overcrowded? Insufficient housing capacity isn't such a big problem, even though it surprised me to see that putting 3 people into 1 room is still a thing in the US.

At UCLA, triple occupancy rooms now account for 73 percent of all student housing, and the Westwood campus is quickly running out of room for expansion. Because of the lack of student housing at UC Berkeley, some students are being housed at Mills College in Oakland — a 25-minute shuttle ride away.

The too many jobs knock I can understand...I'm just plain old Midwest developer guy, so maybe I don't understand the nuances of a market like Silicon Valley or the like that is inundated with software jobs. Still, when I read HN I often get the impression that there is more focus on getting that next great offer than actually doing a given job...so much so that the ability to be perceived as valuable at interview/screening time seems like the mostly highly focused on or developed skill for some people. It seems like there are many professional interviewees out there these days.

I have a hard time understanding. At least for what I've seen/done, it would take about a year of experience to be of any real value. I'd say you start seeing real dividends from an employee near the three year mark. I think the primary exception would be where you have a big gaping hole in an organization...like building a data science program or something from the ground up. But if you've got software and customers long long past the 1.0 stage to support, and someone is going to (someday) understand/contribute to the core? Think about Google's monolith or the Linux kernel...sure most software isn't that mature/grand, but there are many projects out there that are closer to that than greenfield. And it's not just the code, it's the developed relationships/rhythm with coworkers and customers.

Maybe I've explained it to myself, I don't know. The difference may be startup companies or projects versus mature ones. At least in the latter case, it seems to me that if a company retains an engineer for less than 2-3 years, they've almost certainly lost on that investment.
> In the embedded world, I imagine it would be a good standard to force people to consider refactoring functions to their truth table.

It's not only a "good standard". It helps with verification: you can verify that the truth table is correct, and then that the function correctly implements that truth table. At least the former can sometimes be done formally.

> Curious how MISRA works out in practice.

Like every other standard, it depends on who's implementing it and with what tools, but it generally works out pretty well.
For many years I fixed myself a 2 egg cheese omelet, 1 strip of bacon and black coffee. For the past 4 years I have switched to fasting about 15 to 18 hours a day. The easiest way for me implement this was to eliminate breakfast. Once in awhile if I am missing the taste of my omelet I make it for lunch or dinner.
If you take a few months off to live on that money and learn something new, would it be enough to increase your earnings by $100k total over the next 5-10 years? That's also an investment, and one that's got a decent chance of doubling your money in a reasonable timeframe.
It would be interesting to see a programming language based on Hungarian or Finnish. With myriads of suffices which change the ways verbs apply to nouns, it'd be quite a challenge to program in it for anyone not familiar with agglutinative languages :)
cars should have drones instead of dashcams in future
That would fix a lot of it, but the root of the problem is that a lot of the laws are just broken. For example, UC Berkeley was forced to remove free public access to their course lecture videos because they weren't captioned, but paying to caption them just to give them away for free isn't viable.

The fact that the law doesn't have an exception for compliance measures whose cost would exceed all profit from the relevant endeavor is a pretty serious defect.
How to become a successful Blogger?
"Google of file-sharing" would be a too heavy title to hold right now.
The animations are there in the background to give the site a comfortable touch, but it should be easy to distinguish them from the actual site content (e.g the download button comes inside a "box" with a different background color and animated icons hidden underneath).

Perhaps it would be useful to add an option that toggles the animations on/off.
Well, in all honestly they can't really say "forever" or "indefinitely" because that is really an impossibility. How long is "forever" in your estimation? 10 years? 100 years? a thousand?

In all likelihood, the internet itself might evolve into something different in that time. This service might get bought out, or shut down, or the original founders may (fate forbid) get hit by a bus next week.

Setting any sort of indefinite limit is opening themselves up for legal action if it is even one minute less than someone expects. "As long as possible" at least is honest enough to say that as long as there is enough interest to keep the lights on, they will be there.
Right; I wouldn't call them "Japanese ancestors". The Okinawans of today are descended mostly from migrants from the mainland, and even these people are not necessarily the same ones who came to the islands from Taiwan many millennia ago.

(Those underwater ruins that Yonaguni is famous for almost certainly stem from those people and not from today's Okinawans. While some of them look like a city of some kind, it is just as plausible that rock was cut out of the ground to build things. I would love to know the truth behind that amazing place!)
