When I was in teh college, I certainly didn't get enough protein, on account of my unconventional diet. I later figured out that protein deficiency was certainly the cause of the oddly-clear urine I experienced during those years.

This article does have a good point about the wastefulness of growing grain crops for animal feed. Pigs and chickens are better fed kitchen scraps and spoiled fruit/food. Cattle are better grazed on hillsides that are not suitable for mechanical agriculture.

I think potatoes are much better starches for humans to eat than grains.
As another Canadian in California, I don't know how well Canada would take California's mismanagement of the state.
the thing that always bugs me is how to use bookmarks when working with multiple browsers.
the various bookmark service platforms never fully scratched the one itch i was feeling => simply save a bookmark and let me add some tags to it.

right now the only browser based bookmark i'm having is a bookmarklet that takes me to my own bookmark store ( see https://github.com/grafoo/webdmp if you're interested.)

Yeah, because California is the one producing all the food. Haha, how out of touch are you really?
As I understand it, it was not the DT teacher -- the government gave one to every year 7 child for themselves to keep and use however they wish. This is nice in a way but the teachers at my school bemoaned that they couldn't really use them in the class, since the students could not really be counted on to bring them in when required. If you think that the school would benefit from them, then contact the PTA or the school governers and get them to ask parents to donate unused micro:bits to the school?

I loved playing around with CL but I never could get my mind around that damn packaging system. Maybe I'll give it another try sometime. Has the community got any better or is it still the online equivalent of a private clubhouse for PHDs to smoke their pipes?
Yes, who's asking? Is one of mainstream browsers planning to ditch bookmarks?

tl;dr ABIs are an implementation detail, what people want are stable drivers. And if Linux did provide a stable ABI, then people would create midlayers, which silos everyone and encourages them to improve their midlayers instead of improving the base, and the improved base is what makes Linux so good in the first place. Using the base is necessary for community interaction.
I was considering piecemealing it out as Saas. The CMS component is heavily dependent on Alfresco, which is a bit of a nightmare to work with, to the extent I code around it instead of directly integrating the components. If I find funding, I wouldn't mind splitting this off as its own project (apart from our more wet-lab oriented work which has nothing to do with software). I'd need to payroll a Java developer.
I work in molecular genetics research, and I've noticed how disconnected subfields within the life sciences can be. For example, a classical geneticist working with yeast can spend their entire career oblivous to the fact that the problem they've been working on has been indirectly solved by a biochemical engineer working in the same building. This happens for a number of reasons, they publish in different journals, use different terminology, the relationship may not be obvious, etc. Originally, I only had metadata extractors and various NLP parsers specific to the bio/life sciences, but I felt that was too limiting and began to expand it. The backend which ties all the services is almost entirely written in Lua/Torch, and Redis. And everything is built around the Alfresco CMS which comes with Solr, and Mattermost as a locally hosted slack alternative. Mattermost bots report on new content (http://imgur.com/a/P3YK1, http://imgur.com/a/GTVEX) wherever it comes from.

There is too much information to stay on the bleeding-edge of things without serious commitment of resources, which start-ups don't have. My intention was to track the content a group of people go through in a day and visualize connections in the data that may not have been obvious before.

Essentially, it's meant for harvesting IP in biotech field.
> Second, nocturnal animals like howls see very well in the dark.

True, but that's because as far as we know they evolved on a very low light world orbiting a red dwarf star. They're not actually nocturnal on their homeworld.

They also supplement their incredible night vision with sonar that's in the audible range for humans, hence their name.

> There are some places in Canada even speak Scottish

Nit to be pedantic... but do you mean they speak with a sort of Scottish accent, or do you mean they are actually using words from Scots, Doric or some other Scottish dialect?
That would actually work - our company has its own campus and (mostly) controls its own parking.

How on earth do you make this work? I find it hard enough to search successfully for an email that I know exists, let alone something I may have bookmarked years ago with who-knows-what text alongside it. I assumed you at least stored them in a folder to ease the search, but without doing that, I don't know how you ever find what you're looking for. What mail client do you use?

Have you tried pinboard? I loved delicious back in the day (when it had an impossible-to-remember chain of subdomains!) and pinboard gets as close to replicating that functionality as I've found. I'm still planning on writing my own client to resolve a few minor issues, but the api looks solid too.

>With React and React Native, your web app can share most its logic with your iOS and Android apps, but the view layer needs to be implemented separately for each platform.

It annoys me that they are totally developing this closed source behind doors. GPL did not account for a hosted services world.

They also don't seem to be doing the best job, last I looked even at release time they were 1-2 years behind MySQL upstream with very little backporting of fixes made after that. Seems like it's going to bit rot on them over time.

Ask HN: When should I commit fully to my side project?
I work 3 days a week as a health professional, spend 1 day on my side project (website), and 1 day looking after a toddler.

Side project has been going 8 years and is now at the point that it's reliably earning twice what I earn as a health professional (80% Adsense, 20% digital product sales). I have a year's salary in savings (enough to pay my share of the mortgage for 6 years).

I have lots of ideas to develop the website but need more time to do so - toddler has eaten all my free time! I'm worried that if I quit as a health professional I may never go back if I need to. And I worry about Adsense not being a reliable source of income.

When do you know it's the right time to commit fully to the side project?

I used to meticulously organize my Firefox bookmarks into different folders and subfolders. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine showed me the Tab groups features (since then deprecated, but lives on as an extension), and I don't think I have bookmarked a site since then. I disable loading until click, and the browser shows me the entire set of groups if I close it and reopen it.

Ask HN: What job scheduler do you use?
In a previous company, I used the in-house job scheduler. Despite some bugs and lack of documentation it did what we asked for: schedule jobs according schedules and timezones, and handle dependencies.

Now I'm working for another company, we have the same need:

- Orchestrate hundreds of jobs

- Some need to start as soon as their dependencies are ready

- Others need to start according to timezone-based (and possibly dependencies)

- Notification on failures

- Make jobs fail if their dependencies are not ok after a given time

- Force a job status (i.e. set it "ok" even if it failed)

- Reasonable access control

- And if possible a nice dashboard!

While these requirements seem standard to me, I cannot find any acceptable solution:

- Cron is cool for the simplest things, nothing more

- Rundeck is nice for simple workflows, but not for complex dependencies

- I'm tinkering with SOS-Berlin Job Scheduler for days now, and I cannot find proper ways to orchestrate my dependencies

- Control-M looks over priced and certainly not deployable without months of project planing and contract negotiation

- Luidgi and Airflow are too much focused on data workflows, not on generic job scheduling

I usually try to tag my bookmarks but it rarely happens.
I would really love if MS brought out some kind of .net core electron alternative. Xaml is nice enough to build UI with, .net core works across macOS and Linux, and the whole package wouldn't need an entire copy of chromium for each install

You aren't going to get your license revoked because you are drunk, even very drunk.

But if you are the kind of person the police takes care of on a bench multiple times then it's within their (or rather the relevant authority, not the police) power to consider a person "unfit" for having a drivers license. Won't happen to "normal" people, even if on a bike.

Scots is a language, historically equivalent to English - very similar but different.

Many modern english speakers derive from a Scots root rather than a purely English one.

E.g. Scots has a plural form of you, 'yous' and other differences.

Scotland has many other dialects like Doric and accents and other languages like the Gaelic of the Highlands.

Is it legal to lie about the past salary in the US?
Not only that, but some worker may be well prepared without even noticing. And without any bad intentions to trick you.

This happened to myself (although in a non-interview situation):

In general, if you have solved many problems and looked at many solutions, you simply won't remember each specific problem. This effect may start as early as your first math olympiad, and will only get worse on university while you study math and/or computer science.

Some time ago I solved a math puzzle, where I got the right ideas relatively quickly, even though I was convinced this problem was new to me. Later I found out in my writings that I actually solved exactly that problem some years ago.

Even though I was unable to remember the exact solution, not even remembered I've seen it before, I seem to have internalized enough clues so I could rediscover the exact solution whenever I need it.
Sorry I was thinking of autofill suggestions:

For the address bar it already does substring for me pretty well so I can't comment on that, sorry about that.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a big deal? This basically means you can finally share your React code across platforms. It has always felt off that React and React Native are so similar, yet you can't use the same code for web and apps.

Actually it's always been a framework, it's just there's lots of shoehorning of CMS functionality. And it's less of shoehorning, it's just where the $s are flowing, I work with a team who do a lot of native CRM & BPM with Drupal it's just they haven't got $m so you haven't heard of them.

Drupal's fundamentally different than Django as not only are you able to code less due to the sharing of modules but you're also collaborating with thousands of others.

So with Django where you're coding coding coding, i.e. creating technical debt, the idea with Drupal is you only need to code what business logic hasn't already been built over the last 16 years. You're leveraging code and community, so you can focus on what you're good at and collaborate with thousands of others to fill the gaps.
No, I just save links as plain text in my Evernote. This means I can add comments and other meta data very easily and I have everything stored in one place without having to rely on the browser.
Uber has it's ups: it's easy to use, it's a great option for travel abroad, where getting a cab is more complicated.

It is, on the other hand, highly unprofessional. When you call a cab, you know you're gonna get a cab and probably get to your destination without much fuss. When you call an uber there's a pretty definite chance of the driver that accepts your fare just drives by you and pisses off. That's a problem, especially when you're in a hurry.

Legality and morality-wise, however it's a completely different bag: they not only skirt and exploit laws that are made for the passenger's safety, that actual taxi drivers can't just skimp on, thus having a highly immoral and gray-to-illegal advantage over them. They also dodge taxes, like there's no tomorrow and they refuse to comply with any sort of regulations or legal pressure to compete fairly - they just leave. Overall their presence is a net loss to a country.

I would take the more expensive, flawed, but reliable option to a cheaper, unreliable option that also causes damage via predatory behaviour, thank you.

I don't really know how to take you seriously if you're going to equate scientists with priests. We are at such an incredible disposition that I don't think there is room for persuasive argument. I simply believe that science is put to a much higher rigor and standard than any religion or philosophy out there, period. You obviously don't believe that. We are at an impasse.

The rigor of science says that climate change (global warming) is a real thing. Call it whatever you want.
>If there’s a nuclear bomb about to drop over The Perot Museum, there’s no “Duck and Cover” reaction that can save you or your family from becoming flash-seared jerky.

Sorry this is somewhat off-topic, but I hate seeing this. Nuclear weapons create a very very wide donut-shaped area in which ducking on the ground is extremely helpful. Inside of that, it's roasting you, and outside of that, it's a flash, a bang, and a breeze.
What a quandary: We see military weapons technology put to terrible use all the time, and yet, so much technology shows up in (US) military use first.

Agree about the case when APS fails to operate. There were emergency procedures that involved disassembling some part of it and directly wiring a power connection to the oxidizer and propellant valves. See the end of https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/LM11HandbookVol2.pdf

I think the latter scenario is virtually impossible: the ascent stage didn't have any landing gear and the engine wasn't throttlable, so even a relatively soft landing with fully operational APS would be impossible.
I would rather talk what my salary expectations are rather than my current salary. Not because I'm underpaid but because salary is a very specific term and doesn't take into account many other factors.

For instance, I think the worst bonus I've ever received with my current employer is 15%. Best was 30% or so.

That's not salary. But it's fairly reliable. With the new employer the bonus might not be reliable even if it's comparable percentage-wise. Every company has different criteria they use to fund the bonus pool and it's unheard of for a potential employer to ever disclose that. Everyone at my current employer gets paid out of the same bonus pool as the CEO so I know we're getting paid :-)

Also, equity (at least in my case) plays a huge role. The last few years I've made as much or more in selling vested stock options as I did in salary.

So if someone were to ask me what my current salary is in a employment negotiation I would tell them that I don't think it's relevant and give them a few examples why. I would however, tell them what I thought I was worth and justify it by explaining what value I could bring AND-OR I would tell them what salary range I've already been offered elsewhere recently and ask if they were prepared to make an offer in that range. If they insisted my current salary, I pretty much know that's not the right place for me.

The "geography is moot" argument certainly isn't. They will have a border with the UK and will want some leeway there (as Northern Ireland wants to have with Ireland post-brexit)

Besides I'm sure the Scottish people will be delighted into start paying the extortionate mobile fees the rest of Canada pays.
