You inherently get a better sense of the pattern since you can use stereoscopic vision rather than parallax+movement.
It could give you a better sense of what a complicated shape looks like. When you look at something complex enough[1] it helps to get as much information as possible. The eyes alone are not optimal for grokking it, even when the shape is moving around[2].

From The Atlantic, I expected a little more science and a little more suggestion from this article. This read more as a summary of all of the little sleep tips I've seen and heard anecdotally over the last few years rolled into one summary.

Not exactly on the same level as "When Your Child Is a Psychopath" or "My Family's Slave" (two very recent and exceptionally great articles from The Atlantic).
This should be in the preface to the Rust Evangelism Strikeforce Field Operations Manual.
Small software businesses get sued all the time. Those types of lawsuits don't usually get big headlines. So, that's why you don't typically read stories about it.
> In the interim, we can and should encourage people to be heroes.

In reality it's just not black and white like that. I expect a lot of engineers aren't sure if they should be blowing the whistle about a particular thing. And they have no one to turn to for advice, especially not with the NDAs they will typically sign.

So the position they'll find themselves is this: blow the whistle on a morally gray issue which may or may not justify doing so, and guarantee that you will be fired while not at all guaranteeing that the morally gray project will stop. A probable outcome is that the engineer gets fired, the ethics issues don't get escalated, and someone else is hired to continue the project.

Everything is stacked against the engineer. Telling them to fall on their swords for a maybe outcome is neither realistic nor ethical in itself.

I buy coffee by the half-pound, fwiw. Each cup uses around ... well, exactly 25g of beans. Which gives me about 9 cups per bag, which I go through in about a week. The last cup is usually the one where the coffee isn't blooming anymore when I pour hot water on it.

But there are certainly people who enjoy all different kinds of coffee. I'm not one to tell them what to do.
He didn't say he buys it by the pound; 6 oz bags are common.
So what? There are lots of status symbol/gimmick products that are successful. Also, I would expect the price to go down over time as production and use of automated machinery increased.
Congrats to her for making it in the US!

However, it would have been exceptionally easy to get the required visas. Once she was accepted into university, she can apply for an F student visa. It's practically guaranteed for this visa to be granted -- there's no limit to the number of admitted foreign students in the US.

Then, with good grades and an acceptance to Goldman Sachs (which she got), she would have had little trouble getting a work visa. I know plenty of people who have done that.

It's not necessary to go through the 10+ year process to become a citizen in order to be able to study and work in the US. And getting the visas would have been far less stressful and allowed her to travel to see family in Mexico.
In a truly free market with no government interference there would be no fiat currency, no tax, no property laws, no central banks etc. The capitalists would hate it.

I think they meant "library" in the literal sense - the one with books -, and not "software libraries".

But yes, while common sense, it's empty of any meaning. Like "it's better to invest in the core math and statistical fundamentals than the specific applications". Right, but so what? Folks like DeepMind, Numenta, etc are developing new core research material, and applying in practice.

Congrats on your success. Just my two cents, but I suspect the fact that you've given up sugar, grains, and alcohol is probably the main reason for your weight loss. For most people that restriction would chop about a thousand calories off their daily intake.
Hence why it is worded as a question?
I share the habits (melatonin, caffeine and exercise) and eventual strategies (coffee withdrawal from time to time).

Would you care to elaborate on your methods? (What time do you take melatonin, how much and at what time do you take coffee?)

Thanks!
That's about where Blue Bottle and Counter Culture live: coffee that makes hardened street palettes numbed by decades of Dunkies reach for the word "terroir." They have to import from Kenya, Sumatra, a bunch of other complicated places far away. Being able to produce and sell entirely in the low-corruption West—otherwise restricted to Costa Rica—is a game changer.
> In the same way that I'm okay with abortion, I'm okay with this - your dependence on someone or something else is a defining factor of your rights as an individual.

Is there a magical exception for disabled or sick people? And are those also not real? I ask because you start out with something about copying, but end up with

> If you depend on a machine that someone else is free to control

Which is an entirely different thing and just a way to say might is right, with qualifiers that mean nothing. Someone's foot is also a bio machine, if your life depends on them not murdering you with it, you might as well skip to taking their orders, no? If not, what's the magical exception?

I'd say individual rights are based on things like empathy and concepts of fairness. If they were just based on mere poopy power they would serve no purpose.. we had and have that already.
Side note: coffee is also produced in Puerto Rico. Whether or not that should be counted as part of the US is debatable but it's interesting that there was no mention.

Edit: NPR article from 2015[1] discussing coffee production in Puerto Rico.

[1] http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/05/13/404228117/pue...
Did they say they bought a pound at a time? The coffee I but is also sold as $n per pound, but it's sold bulk, and I buy about ⅓ pound at a time, since that will last me a week or so.
Wish I was in this industry instead of my dead-end job.

Support Ticket 57:

Hey, can you change this limit field here, currently it is a 5, can you make it a 9.
Since when is Puerto Rico not part of the US?
He didn't say he buys a pound at a time, just that it's priced $25/lb. Nor that his "cup" (colloquially) was 6 oz in size, though for some reason coffee machines do seem to define their "cups" as 5 oz, coffee prep directions are always related to 6 oz., and the American unit of measurement is 1 cup / 8 fluid oz. (I assume we're discussing America here, because everyone else measures out their coffee in grams).

Using my mug - which I describe as my morning cup of coffee/tea - of 12 oz., buying a half-pound at a time, the "average" age of the coffee is now a couple of days.

If the entire strength of your argument goes away on the basis of tweaking a couple of variables by reasonable degrees, you should probably reconsider the argument.
You ignore the fact that the 99% of the cheat probably has or had a good reason to be there for one reason of another. The actual responsibility is probably multi-layered with the majority of contributor unknowingly participating in something fishy.

I remember that I worked on system that allowed a financial firm to change a account value outside of all the accounting routine and a way to transfer money from a shared account to any random external account. Sounds fishy, but the explanation was reasonable: this was the way to model dividend. Actual dividend money was coming in one account, the payment/reinvestment from another with a reconciliation done later on. This reconciliation was done by that department operational floor from data coming from other departments, with systems upstream and downstream. I may have unknowingly created the final piece of a massive international fraud system, but I have no idea and all the people had a valid business reason and nothing to gain.

Because that's the point, if I knew and I was willing to actually participate in fraud, I would like a cut in it and a serious one as I would literally provide a gun with my real id from a regular shop knowing you will use it for a bank robbery.
1. I am surprised how 15-19°C could be the temperature range for sleeping. That's just too cold; at least here in India. It's usually around 22°C (72°F) minimum people who have ACs, or the room temperature in temperate places like Pune and Bangalore. My friends say the same thing about SF at least. Is it common to sleep at this relatively cold (15-19°C) temperature in the USA? Also, there must be places/states where people don't use ACs, right?

3. I used to run at night for almost a year. Around 2-4 hours before sleep and very light dinnner after cooling down and then read a bit or so, or listen to soft/light music and fall asleep like a baby at around ~11PM and wake up at ~7pm (never set any alarms; still don't unless I've to catch an early flight or so). That was my best sleeping routine in a long time and I used to feel so awesome throughout the day. I've known people go for for a walk or so and then fall asleep after dinner.

5. Couldn't agree more. If I fall sleep during day it just pushes my sleeping rhythm off the track like anything. Very short naps (esp. after lunch or heavy lunch are quite nice)

9. That I have noticed in many people. I myself though could never really sleep in late, after college (in college or before I could sleep whenever I had an opportunity or wanted - like a lecture, bus, pillion riding etc - what blissfull times!), except some scenarios on some days that I could never pinpoint the reason for sleeping in late (but I feel exceptionally good on those days). So generally I am wide awake by 6.45-7.15AM no matter how late I fall asleep like an alarm clock :( So I try to fall sleep by 11PM.

Are these points your own observations like I've listed mine or established results from research?
yes, maybe will delay some flights

it sounds good!
I think it depends on how much can you get yourself into the world and story. When you play CS/Quake death match the goal is simple, there's no second thought before pulling the trigger - there's not story to begin with, just frags/scores. But when you are playing some good RPG and come to some village, you could start the killing spree, see people around you crying, bleeding, crawling at your feet and begging for their lives... would you have any thoughts before pulling the trigger then?

My level of immersion usually is quite high if I like a game. Even today. Despite crud graphics and AI behavior. I'll use an imagination to tell the missing part of the story or give NPCs goals and desires. Simply because if feels better. By analogy, I would not kill innocent because that feels bad to me. So, if the day will come when all this missing part will get filled by brilliant AI I am not going to kill it either.

Probably the reason that people have no quarrels with killing everyone in a game is that it's very difficult to convince player that NPCs have a feelings. Even in modern AAA titles when you start shooting in the middle of the city it looks more ludicrous than real. People are frightened, sure, but very often they make really fake poses, run randomly with hands up, or do some other stupid things. It's hardly convincing, so shooting them is easy and players have no remorse about it. You can easily see they are fake. But should they behave really human-like, should you see their pain... would you still pull the trigger?
It'd be a plus if they sell specialty beans. The similar UCD Meat Lab has excellent meat (in my opinion).

Actually, I should retract my previous statement. I don't really know what I wrote that, maybe something I'm personally reactive to.

As far as I'm aware what the family relationship counsellors are saying these days (the ones I've spoken to anyway) is that it is conflict that harms children.

It matters less whether the parents are together. What's important is that children aren't exposed conflict.
Disabled or sick people are not fully dependent on a machine for their existence. They exist as separate entities, not just on a machine. They may need a machine to support their life, but they can own that machine, they do not exist solely inside of it. That's a major difference.

There would have been any number of engineers at VW and Bosch that knew exactly how this worked, but there was nothing in it for them to come clear about it.

The USA already has a very workable solution. It's called the "prisoner's dilemma".

They were never going to get charged for writing that code

Wrong. That's exactly what you threaten them with. Engineers aren't hardened criminals. When faced with the possibility of jail, 99% will instantly sing like canaries.

The problem is of jurisdiction. The engineers are in Germany and no fucking way will Germany extradite them. So the usual threats don't work.

Well, we did catch one moron who decided to travel to the USA for vacation even though he was a big player in the mess.

Edit: I'm presenting the current general situation for the USA. Your idea of bounties is not bad. It has worked spectacularly well in rewarding employees of Swiss Banks. Somewhat ironically, it's something that Germany has done: http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-city-find...
Set up a side business to blossom into paying 3* full time salary so I can be free of commuting, can live a high life and build assets at the same time. Doesn't involve coding as I've had it with coding and hate the complexity nowadays. I have nostalgia for the simplicity of bbcbasic magazine listings.

If I can achieve this in 5 years it would be ideal. First stage is in progress.
You can achieve the same effect as the documentary by focusing on your breathing. Starting at 100, you count down with each breath. I've never gotten to zero after years of trying. Amusingly the stereotypical sheep counting method works wonders as well when your thoughts won't give you a break.

This is one of the things I'm frightened of. I'm a successful software engineer, you've probably heard me speak at various conferences, I contribute to popular open source projects, but ... I have a twenty-year heroin habit. So, any minor interaction with law enforcement has the potential to spiral into a drug related cluster fuck, just as happened in your case. I'm fortunate that my employer is aware of my situation, and I'm working my way towards being clean long-term, but if I was in the US I think my situation would be far more precarious. I wish you luck getting yourself back together, and you have my utmost respect and congratulations for kicking the heroin cold turkey - nobody who has not been there themselves can ever properly realise what an achievement that is - keep up the good work, I know it will be a struggle every day from now on. I hope you get the rest of the help you need.
Re: 1. I don't think it's a set temp as much as a difference from the daytime temps.

So for us average Americans, 15-19C (59 to 66F) would probably work well, depending on where you live in America.
The article mentions William Dement, one of the pioneer researchers on sleep. His book The Promise of Sleep is a great and easy read, and I absolutely recommend it for anyone looking to learn more about the subject and the history behind the study of sleep.

I know I shouldn't reply to comments like this, but what are you going to do to make the (software) world better? Git's got warts but it's getting better, and there are alternatives like Mercurial if they work better for you.
I never understood the "volatility criticism" of the value of Bitcoin. It'd be remarkable if Bitcoin attained a very high value without short-to-medium term volatility. Realized volatility is not an intrinsic property to the technology or design itself, but rather a reflection of current aspects of the marketplace which can improve over time. (i.e. robust and trusted exchanges, well-capitalized market-makers, more diverse attempts at valuation, less emotional market participants, etc.)
would this meet Rainforest Alliance standards? With coffee being the worlds second largest commodity, I am particularly bothered by both my addiction and the difficultly in finding Rainforest Alliance certified options. It seems like fair trade is easy to find in Trader Joes for instance, but after 20 minutes of looking/reading, I simply couldn't find beans that weren't possibly deforesting rainforests are that had their CO2 footprints examined/offset. Hoping this could be a great win for labor, rain forests (reusing existing agricultural land), etc.

One other point - their trees have been getting older and there is more forign competition is growing BUT, demand has outpaced supply with prices being high, more mainstream consumption in North America and now increasingly in Asia Pacific. I read a lot about the Avacado industry (not really sure why) but from what I have seen from the Avacado's growers groups, their profits have been skyrocketing with demand changes over the last 20 years.

By many measures of correct, success also doesn't matter. Let's remember how many flaws were the cause of time, money, mood loss of many people. How do you know which is more important at the level of something like an OS?

Btw, the time when legacy support was crucial is long gone. App stores and automatic updates will make it absolutely transparent in few decades. Windows is probably the last OS where you download and execute random ancient chunks from the raw internet -- nothing to be proud of.

Ask HN: How should I measure a goal to “Master JavaScript”?
I've been using JavaScript in various personal and client projects for a few years. My understanding and confidence with it has been consistently increasing, but I have never made a truly focused effort to thoroughly learn it and how best to use it.

Recently I've set a personal goal to "Master JavaScript", I feel I've got a decent collection of study and reference materials (books, docs, lists of recommended resources) to draw on, as well as some projects in-mind for applying my learning. However, I would really like to set some measurable means to judge my progress and success by. A few ideas for doing this are:

- Successfully complete the interview process for 3/5 JavaScript engineer positions I apply to.

- Have X number of Pull Requests to large Open Source projects accepted.

- Build an application that includes X, Y, and Z.

As you can see, I'd like these goals to add a specificity and measurability on top of the general goal of "JavaScript mastery". Any improvements upon those above, or novel suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Because it's distinct culturally and politically from the 50 states and (along with the US's other territories) therefore not always necessarily included when one is discussing the United States. Nor do its inhabitants necessarily identify as Americans.

I'm not sure why you're being so pedantic, anyways. I was just hinting at a reason for why the author of this article didn't mention Puerto Rico when they said that Hawaii was the only place in the US where serious coffee cultivation occurs.
I take melatonin for sleep only as necessary. I work a physically demanding job that requires approximately 50% computer time, so I find the mixed physical & mental effort of work tiring.

What I found help immensely with regaining my focus and mental clarity after coming off caffeine, and before that methamphetamine 4 days out of 7 for nearly a year, is taking a multi B vitamin plus 1000mcg methylcobalamin (also known as 'Activated B12') sublingually, and 200mg B6 once or twice a day, along with eating fewer sweet things and more protein and raw fats (butter and coconut oil). Plus chiropractic / osteopathic adjustments to deal with my crooked postural habits.

I also find Liquorice root as strong decoction immensely restorative.

That's what has worked for me. N=1 and all that.

Full disclosure: I hold a Diploma in Western Herbal Medicine and an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Nutrition. For what it's worth.
Great article. I visited Cahokia just a few months after visiting pyramids in Belize and Guatemala and commented on how some of the artifacts looked similar and the government workers in the visitor center were very adamant about saying that the Cahokians we unrelated to any known tribes.
