Depends on your perspective. Intrusive Animation is still animation. (Not that its entirely related, but I've worked on a number of feature animation films )

OSX is considered to have good animation flow, but its still too slow. Any animation that is inserted between fast moving actions is an obstacle.

then you consider that animation is CPU/GPU heavy, so will chug on anything less that tiptop hardware.

Unless there is a definite need, it really should be used sparingly

Isn't that kinda the point? Why would that be a bad thing? Seemingly, my version of ls doesn't provide a 'sort alphabetically' flag, but if it did, the equivalent of

ls | sort | mc

would be something like

ls -C --sort=name

and, as discussed, the ls program has to be much, much more complicated.
I can relate to your situation a lot. I've done some thinking and realized, YC is great but they are not the decider of my fate. There are other options and at the end of the day, great ideas executed by great people can succeed no matter how many rejections they get. I think there is a lot of hubris in HN and in YC, in SV in general. All I can say is, be so good they can't ignore you.

Whether I get into YC or not, I'm willing to bet my life on the fact that they will know my name soon and realize they made a mistake.

I don't care how crazy or delusional this sounds because this isn't a project or a startup, this is my reason for existing. Finding a way is all I have in this life.

Don't forget about the cost estimates.

Even if ridesharing services were the same price as a taxi, knowing roughly how much it will cost before I even call the thing is a huge plus, and knowing the route they will take me on is even better.

I don't need to be constantly on the lookout to make sure my uber driver isn't trying to fuck me by running the meter going the wrong direction giving me some bullshit about how his way is faster and then when we get there the credit card machine is broken and the fare is 3x what you expected (which is already 2x what it was in your home area).

With uber, if someone pulls that I know I can get a refund with a pretty good chance in success. I haven't ever had a taxi company call me back about anything, half the time the fucking taxi doesn't even show up.

I'm familiar with Turing-equivalence, but the argument in that section didn't seem analogous to me. In the first place, it's about human universality, not computer universality; so an implicit premise of the "parodied argument" would have to be something like "human intelligence is Turing-complete" - I've seen no argument against machine superintelligence that starts from this premise (although not all arguments depend on rejecting it, either).

No, the usual way of achieving this is to decouple your movement (as in, physics) from rendering. Instead of having an "update" loop, have "renderUpdate" and "physicsUpdate" as separate loops, one tied to FPS, other constant.

For me, a very interesting option at the moment is Sony's official AOSP builds for a number of Xperia devices[1].

You're able to build an image yourself from their source if you'd like slightly more comfort, and can run it without gapps if you're privacy or software freedom conscious.

It is, but the little I've seen of K implies that it's small size comes from a combination of two things:

1) A standard library / set of operators that are a very good fit for the typical domains it works on.

2) Minimizing symbol length.

E.g. I translated one example I saw into Ruby, and ended up with something of similar length once I 1) implemented equivalent methods, 2) dispensed with all idioms for how to write Ruby and went for single character variable names and method names etc.

In other words, there's nothing particularly "magic" there.

K code gets to where it is largely by because its author and users are willing to violate every convention from other languages in terms of how to write and structure code in pursuit of a philosophy that is fundamentally different in terms of e.g. focusing more on code size.

That could be a good thing, but I'm not convinced that the extremely sparse code is worth the (to me at least) extreme lack in readability.

Code golf can be fun in any language, but it seems few of us have gone back to writing other code and decided it's worth aiming for code that small. In fact, I've more than once rewritten code to be longer because it made it easier to read.

That said, there are good parts in terms of language constructs etc. that'd be worth learning from. If only it wasn't so incredibly annoying to decipher the code (yes, I'm sure it gets faster when you get used to it).
This is really nice, even on desktop. And fast. Love it.

Looking at them side by side you really get a sense of how much 'stuff' Twitter Heavy has compared to Twitter Lite.

An Inside Look at Building Private Cloud
I think the response krt gave was fair enough:

I dont get all that API key nonsense, you can search this board for our opinions on API keys. I’ll keep this short:

If your app requires an API key and you withhold it (because you entered an agreement with the service provider), this basically makes it not buildable for 3rd parties in a useful manner. F-droid will not sign an agreement with whatever service provider you use nor will we withhold build information.

There are actually only two solutions:

1) Provide a way for the user (!) to enter API key or account information at runtime.

2) Provide a way for us to get the key at buildtime, e.g. there was one app where I had to download a pre-compile APK file, extract the key from it and re-use that key in our builds.. which sucked. Anyway, I dont see what’s the difference to just providing the API key. If you distribute an APK, you distribute the API key (in one form or another) — since without it the app would not work… sigh.

Not for me. What phone, app version and OS version are you running?
Ok, so Android is open-source as mentioned already by other comments.

Now the thing with Android is that, it is just a framework, so saying Android is Open Source is missing big points
There are two major limits:
1. What about apps?
2. What about drivers?

Today, if you get an Android phone with Google Apps, especially Google Play Store, you have access to many tools that can be considered useful for everyday use, which you won't have with FOSS Android. Here are some examples:

With Play Store, you can have (mostly?) any IM, as long as you install the app going with it. The only possibility I know to do that with FOSS Android, is to use matrix or IRC, and have server-side libpuprle connectors.

With FOSS Android You don't have factorized push socket: Most apps pushing notifications on Android require GCM. But even if it doesn't require GCM, there is nothing fully open-source an app developer can use. All they can do, is open a socket to their own server, and deal with it, which is a huge battery-killer.

Many people are mentioning f-droid as an alternative to Play Store. I'm sorry, but I consider this a joke. I highly respect the work done on f-droid, but this is not a usable alternative.
For instance, you want to save your SMS. We call that backup, but not every knows that.
Well you search for "save sms" on f-droid. No result.
You search for "save sms" on Google Play Store, the second result is SMS Backup+ which is open-source! You search for SMS, the result is on the first page.
Same thing happen if you just search for "sms", QKSMS (an opensource SMS application) is much easier to find with Google Play Store than f-droid.
Even to look for open-source apps, you're better off with Google Play Store!
Again, I totally respect F-Droid devs, this is this way because of their choice of not tracking or saving any user information at all, which is legit.
But then, some people might want something intermediary. Just counting the number of installations of an app can be really useful to better sort apps (SMS Backup+ and QKSMS really deserve to be among the top in the results for SMS).

Now, about the drivers. Yes Android is open-source, but good luck running a phone with a FOSS Android!
At the moment, you have the choice with either replicant, which is old and missing gpu acceleration, or running a mainline Linux kernel with Mesa & stuff, but then you have no radio.

Though I have to mention that on the drivers side, Sailfish OS and Ubuntu phone have also those problems.
I don't believe so. However the rendering engine is optimised for Handlebars, it can statically analyse what parts of your template are dynamic and what are not. I think the performance benefits are worth learning a new template syntax.
IANAL but I can't see any harm in releasing some demo samples of what your system can do. To be fair, an example of how the system breaks down it gets pushed too hard would probably be useful too.

With that in hand, perhaps you might create a new post showing the samples and asking for advice. (Maybe you could also let people make sample requests via comments?)

It's possible that you may receive offers from people interested in being business partners (treating the situation like a startup); have fun with that ;)

I think you've got it backwards - you're saying that the taboo lifted as the church lost power, that the taboo was there while the church was very powerful? While the Catholic Church has lost power, they're certainly not weak now; they're just not as supreme as they were. They've become weaker but still have power of enforcement, yet taboos have lifted (somewhat)? That's the opposite of what the article is saying.

With domestic violence, it wasn't just men suppressing it. Women also suppressed it, because "you just didn't talk about that kind of thing". Domestic violence shelters weren't really a thing, because you were expected to just deal with it and not talk about it.

I just think it's simply a wrong statement to make, that taboos are only about middling social powers. It seems to be trying to shoehorn the facts to fit an argument rather than the other way around.

You're incorrect. Red Hat (and SUSE)'s distributions are free-as-in-freedom software (or at the very least, the majority of the distribution is free -- the link you posted is complaining about a very small minority of the software that is part of such distributions [which is a problem but is not as big of a problem as you claim]).

The fact that you won't get official updates after a trial period (or if your subscription runs out) isn't against the principles of free software. As a user, you still have the source code and have the freedom to maintain the distribution yourself (nobody does, but the freedom is still there).

Essential perhaps if you want to do research in Machine learning or work on developing new machine learning algorithms and libraries. Hardly essential if all you want to do is take a well understood algorithm from a well known ML package and apply it your data. What is essential then is knowing the relative strength and weaknesses of the different existing approaches and knowing which one to pick given your data and computational limitations. And as far as I can tell non of those books cover that.

That being said, the list is excellent for people who want a solid theoretical grounding of the underlying mathematics, and many of my favorite books are on the list.
