It's not so surprising when you consider that those people in developing worlds visit way fewer pages than someone on a broadband connection on a computer would - in part because it's still a smartphone with a small screen (especially the low-budget ones), it's slow, but mainly because data is expensive.
Googling for a library is all well and good, but if you can't evaluate whether it's well designed and well written then you might as well rephrase it as "Google for someone else's problems to add to my own."

The background knowledge to understand what you're looking for and looking at is really important in these cases. You mention having and having read TAOCP, that already puts you ahead of >99.99% of the people doing programming out there - 95% of whom couldn't tell you who Knuth is, what he's written, or what Drofnats refers to.
And yet the rest of Ford's lineup is a snoozefest, even the Mustang.

I know which is why I said it with some reluctance. But your rubutals aren't good examples.

Physics, Computer Science and Chemistry still have many still unanswered questions and provide clear benefits and ways to uncover those.

In psychology we have a much better way into the human mind through neuroscience. Asking humans about their own behavior is filled with the very bias that we try to battle through the scientific method.

Comparing philosophy with the lightbulb doesn't make much sense as the value of the lightbulb doesn't need to be peer reviewed to show it's value.

The problem with many of these old fields is that they have become self-referential. Their contribution to society the last many decades aren't warrenting the popularity of them.

We aren't studying alchemy anymore either because we have found more and better ways to study chemistry all I am saying is that perhaps it's time to park some of these fields in the alchemy department.

Edit: Ironic that someone disagreeing with me on this very important discussion didn't find much more argument than a downvote :) Oh well.
Show HN: Font Combiner Unicode Kickstarter
The piece of the puzzle that Ford doesn't currently have is charging stations.

Tesla building its supercharger network was a brilliant move because it means that Teslas are comparable to most petrol-fuel vehicles (as far as where you can go), and everybody else isn't.

If I buy a Ford, can I drive it to see my family in Northern Minnesota[1]? Because I know that I can take a tesla.

That's a really big deal.

I know there are 3rd parties in the US trying to compete with tesla's superchargers (a very close friend of mine was an engineer at probably the largest one until they went bankrupt), but as far as I can tell they're nowhere close to Tesla.

[1]Originally I said North Dakota, but it looks like even Tesla doesn't have chargers there yet. BOO! Well luckily I have plenty of family in Northern Minnesota too!
> Also, "go90" is a terrible name.

I think it's supposed to be 1337-5p34k. (Still terrible).
Fenix International | Lead Software Engineer | Kampala, Uganda or San Francisco, CA | http://www.fenixintl.com/

Want to make a real difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands across Africa? Interested in solar power and/or financial services for the developing world? Come work at Fenix! We have a team of 6 Software Engineers and are looking to hire a new Lead Software Engineer who can lead the team (spread across San Francisco and Uganda) in building out our financial platform (a Django web application) as well as a few other software products. We like Django (and Python generally), Node.js, and AWS.

We're hiring for either San Francisco or Kampala, Uganda -- if you were based in SF, travel to Kampala a few times a year would be necessary (and weekend trips to go rafting on the Nile and rock climbing in rural Uganda are encouraged!)

It really is an amazing company doing really good and important work delivering solar power and financial services to people living off-grid in rural East and West Africa.

A Kickstarter campaign to raise funding for full Unicode support, code refactoring and other new features.

Font Combiner is an application that allows easy drag-and-drop font supplements, with a lot of other features.

https://fontcombiner.com/

A successful campaign will bring about a new evolution of this application and some exposure on HN could be decisive in gaining some momentum. If it's not a cheek, a few up votes and perhaps a few social shares would be hugely valued.

Any pointers for further promotion or suggestions for adjustments to the pitch would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all.
Because the ideas on which Unix is based are sound.

That's a fair point -- provided the managers aren't in the same bed with the professors.
The cost and bother of fighting such minor tickets, especially when the defense is kind of odd like this case, are both way beyond the small fines minor nuisance tickets like this have. Also she tried the first couple times this happened and didn't get anywhere with the judge in court (which isn't too surprising the courts that deal with those tickets have a huge number of cases to deal with every day) and she was able to get the tickets expunged through the system after pleading guilty.

Show HN: Dediddo – a minimal sales tool for non-sales people
Yes, as far as life is concerned I do.

Everything we or other life forms do comes from an attempt to make an improvement. Be it selfish or altruistic, it is always to alter some state of the world for a perceived benefit.

But our competence varies. So we all fall on some spectrum of competence in any given endeavor no matter how small.
From this variation and rank we can derive hierarchy.

This transcends all species and their traits.
You are not forced to teach what the state wants. You are forced to make sure your children pass exams.
Could you elaborate a bit? I'm super curious but I have little experience with non-OOP languages.

Hah, took the words out of my mouth. Prime video is the first example that comes to mind.
Thanks. Sorry about that.
Adding to this advice. Sometimes it is easy to blame the compiler, O.S., etc. In may experience it has been my own fault 98% of the time. Specially when using very popular software tools.
Thanks for the sequence diagram. That's exactly what we're doing.
SpamAssassin, DKIM, SPF, DMARC are all things that you can check locally, so yeah, you can def. determine if an email is going to get through at least basic filters. Note that SpamAssassin is more a framework, and that a lot of this stuff is going to be bayesian/machine learning kinda stuff, so while you may get through basic level filters, people pay a lot for the higher end stuff, and you can't test those kinds of things. (barracuda email filtering and that kind of thing)
Yeah, this is a bit like Microsoft announcing they're going to make a "killer lifestyle gadget" or Apple announcing an enterprise server.

They have the resources to succeed, it's just that it's baked into the company DNA not to focus on the things they need to excel in that market.

Perhaps you are confusing mega bytes per second with mega bits per second? Internet speeds are usually sold in bits per second, while file transfer speeds are usually reported in bytes per second.

Let's do the math.

50/8 = 6.25

Subtract a little for overhead and 6 megabytes per second sounds reasonable.

Good point. I didn't think of the driver incompatibility between vendors.

thats fucked up isnt what you said, you specifically said the story was not something to laugh about.

you are policing what people are allowed to laugh at, no one claimed it wasnt fucked up, but that doesnt mean they cant laugh, laughter is one of many ways to cope with trauma.

you are either being intellectually dishonest by trying to reframe my argument incorrectly, or you didnt understand it in the first place

The problem with LibreOffice is that it has terrible Word compatibility.

Documents just come out looking completely different. Tables go over extra pages, text is randomly overlayed, etc.
Even if you have students that are already contributing to your project, and just want to allow them to do so full-time during the summer, GSoC is often not worth it.

You need all the mentors available, although they won’t be used, and while the code will be of good quality and kept, the bureaucracy is too much.

One project I (I’m a student with too much free time) am contributing to has discussed entering GSoC before, but we don’t have the manpower to provide the required mentors.

Nice catch, but then:

In [13]: Decimal(5000000).exp() * Decimal(5000000).exp()

Overflow Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-13-8333724ae893> in <module>()
----> 1 Decimal(5000000).exp() * Decimal(5000000).exp()

Overflow: [<class 'decimal.Overflow'>]

The problem is that the multiplication blows the precision of the used format (either double for math.log(...) or the one the decimal module uses).

I had also thought about the intention of the question trying to get you to express the sum as bit operations (thought I admit that sounds like going for a very low-level profile), or maybe just "thinking outside the box".
Totally. Just look at the ridiculous valuations here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble#List_of_compani...

On the other hand, there were some major successes as well. Amazon got its start in the bubble and is now gigantic. eBay is doing great. So is PayPal (which is relevant here, since without PayPal we wouldn't have Tesla).

Sometimes these ridiculous valuations are completely unjustified, but sometimes they do come true. Figuring out which is which ahead of time is, well, hard.

How realistic is to find one lead engineer who knows many prgramming languages?
My cofounder and I have an app developed for iOS/Android plus backend via an outsourced team.
I am a non-tech cofounder (UX/UI/marketing guy) and my partner is the tech guy. Even though he is a software engineer by trade, he has been a project manager at Motorola for more than a decade so he does not know enough of the devlopment to touch the code. This is the reason we chose a third party initially and we rather paid for the development of the MVP (or MDP).
We self-financed it (about $55K) and bootstrapped it up until now and it’s time to bring in a lead developer who can finetune and iterate it to meet product/market fit and maybe clean up the code here and there if needed. Especially android.
We got some good initial feedback from a few testers, and in general people like the concept of the app (it is a social app) but nothing more. And no traction at all.
This is the stage where we are heading next:
1.	Iterate to find product/market fit
2.	Try to get some traction that is meaningful enough to start fundraising

We want to offer equity rather than salary.
The programming languages that are used are:
Android: Java (strong knowledge)
iOS: Objective C
Server: PHP Cake
DB: MYSQL
Deployment: Jenkins + AWS.
How realistic is it according to your opinion to find such software engineer who knows it all?
Thank You in advance for your honest replies.

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.port-chain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience. From our office in Bredgade next to Amalienborg, we are ramping up our team from five people to ten over the next four months. As such we are hiring only the highest caliber developers to join our team, and help reshape shipping.
