I know a couple who had their second kid while they had a small child already. They share the same feeling about it being very hard. But, their reasoning had something to do with how they grew up and how their kids would.

Both of them had siblings growing up, and by the time they had their first kid, they had this good family support system - parents (grand parents to the kid), siblings (aunts/uncles to the kid). Even after their parents are gone, there still are their siblings (their spouses and kids) that still are part of that family support system, an immediate family that you can trust and rely on (at least in most families, I guess).

They were worried that for their kid when he/she grows up, after they are gone, there would be no immediate family left at all. No siblings, so no aunts or uncles or cousins. This is made worse because the age when they had their first kid was almost a decade later compared to when their parents had their first kid. And, it doesn't help either that families are more spread now with people moving to different parts of the world for opportunities and careers than it was a generation ago.

For the past year I've been on a low sodium diet, not so easy to achieve. After reviewing the renal physiology I learned about years ago re: sodium and calcium regulation, I'll testify it's every bit as complex as I remember and then some.

I'll be interested in reading the articles the newspaper report is based on, but ATM not sure how much the new findings contradict (vs. extend) what's thought to be true about the physiological roles of sodium. In terms of implications for health issues, conditions like hypertension are enormously heterogeneous in origin, salt intake being only one factor among a huge number of factors involved.

I was interested in the comment that high salt intake was potentially adverse for bone health via glucocorticoid stimulation. One thing I've recently learned is how high dietary sodium negatively affects bone calcium balance via mechanisms within bone cells, and in some people, excessive renal calcium excretion as well. These issues aren't AFAIK primarily mediated by elevated cortisol. So it seems to be suggesting another way high sodium intake promotes bone loss.

Goes to show we know a lot less than we think we know, in this case about body regulation of essential minerals like sodium and calcium. When we realize that also applies to every other factor we think related to high blood pressure or osteoporosis, it's very humbling indeed.
It's interesting that in Manhattan they removed "Greenwich Village", but added "230 Fifth Rooftop Bar" and "Vinegar Hill". That makes no sense to me.

Even according to Google Trends "Greenwich village" is 6.5 times more popular than "Vinegar Hill", let alone some rooftop bar.

Go having its own intermediate representation "solves" the problem but requires go-specific backends/lowering mechanisms. LLVM is arguably a more generic place for backends to live. (though in practice it does serve clang's needs best).

If you design a new processor, you generally take it upon yourself to do the work necessary for folks to use C compilers that target your processors. I'd argue that they're more likely to contribute a backend implementation to LLVM than golang.
I really liked your website. I also think you don't need to redesign for a while.
Kindly, I don't think that is the important question because that's not how legal duty works. Basically, there are always legal duties, some of which are codified & some of which are common law.

I'm not arguing there is always a legal duty here, nor that there always should be. I'm stating that whether there is a duty will always depend on the individual fact pattern & the laws/regulations that apply to that specific University.

Not only do Universities operate under different jurisdictions with different rules & laws--but their level of "control, influence and involvement" varies along too. This changes what duty there is--as do the specific facts.So such generalizations are not applicable.

Hope this makes sense; its not easy to explain!

MZ (DOS .exe) requires a loader - smarter than just "copy this whole thing into memory and jump to start", anyway - because it has a relocation table. But, of course, the loader is not part of the executable itself, so it doesn't contribute to its size. I suspect that the reference was to the relocation tables themselves.

The post is about coding as a social activity.
I remember when I first heard about that equipment, how cool it sounded that you could remove large pieces of material through a tiny hole, effectively with a tiny hand mixer and a hose.

The smaller the holes the simpler the recovery, but clearly the consequences are a lot more dire than they lead on. I was under the impression that the material was extracted at the point of removal, not through a separate mechanism. Sounds like there's some significant contact time and loss of material.

Which makes one wonder what kind of surgery one of these would be useful for. Precancerous cells? Nope. Infection? Same problems.
Ask HN: Tool for regression testing visualization?
I want to implement regression testing into open source project I'm working on. Scripts to run tests are ready, but I can't find a tool that will present results in human readable form.

Essential feature would be simple comparison of tests results from different versions of code with csv or HTML export, but some filtering and history data could be helpful. There are several proprietary solutions for UI testing that include similar features, but surprisingly I can't find anything standalone just for visualization. Closest thing is Test Results Analyzer plugin for Jenkins:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Test+Results+Analyzer+Plugin

I not sure how I feel about adding Jenkins into workflow just for tests. Anyone have experience with this? Is there anything I could use or it's will be easier to implement one from scratch / use Jenkins?

I have hired a number of great designers from dribbble some of which went on to work in places like Apple.

First step: Get Dribbble pro for $25. It'd worth it.

Step 2: first search for designers based on a similar project. In my 1st case I used keywords like "music" "Spotify" "player" etc. In yours, you can use "classifieds", "Craigslist" "Job Board" etc. People would charge lower if they are doing similar stuff they've done before, or have sampled similar ideas.

Step 3: Based on budget, filter for

A. Designers from everywhere apart from US and UK. For. Skills, people have to charge based on their living expenses and based on what they can get in their vicinity.

B. Solo Designers Available for work

South Africa, Some of Western and Eastern Europe (Holland, Belgium, Poland, Romania etc) have an abundance of great affordable designers.

Step 3: Open up a spreadsheet for up to 30 designers with style you like and put up their names and email addresses. Follow. Them so you know who you've contacted.

Step 4: Sent out individual messages. Some have their emails listed. Some you need to contact via Dribbble.

The email has to be brief an to the point. People.

My email was like this.

--
Subject : Are you available for Freelance

Message: Hi Name.

Great work on Dribbble. Are you available for freelance? What's your rate? I have a well detailed out project that would need design help.

I hope to hear from you.

(you can add, that you're a developer so working with you will be straightforward)

--

Quotes are high because people budget for project creep. Being clear can reduce your budget by 30%.

Step 5: Based on response rate (expect ~50%) filter out. Thank those who are beyond your budget. Sometimes they ask for the progect scope and their total may be lower. For me, I focused on people that charged max of $40/hour. I usually negotiate by showing all the wire framed pages to be designed and getting my quote.

Step 6 : Rinse and Repeat until you get what you're looking for.

Note: Your site looks very good especially as a v1. Focus on traction first. Like others have said you "maybe" need some UX work.

I'm not a designer and do product for my startup and usually do the recruiting. Feel free to contact me. (email in profile)

The story seems to confirm my criticism of the "never talk to police" mantra. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14345776) If you're going to take that to heart, you need a step 2: "Ok I got arrested, maybe for BS like annoying the cop by not talking, maybe not, but now I need a way to procure a good lawyer and let someone on the outside know, probably giving them power of attorney so they can make certain arrangements." (Edit: Though it's probably a good idea to have most of that step 2 planned out regardless of if you talk to cops or not.)
If you snore that badly, consider visiting a respiratory and sleep specialist to test for sleep apnea. That level of snoring is not normal - you should not be waking people with your snoring and if you are tired in the morning and being late for work, that's an indication it is negatively affecting your life (and that of others too).

Been there. Done that.

Seaborn is not lacking in any way, it has a goal and it accomplishes it. However, I think Seaborn would have been easier to create if it had been based on a grammar based package, a few caveats not withstanding.
Mostly it's just a matter of getting used to it… when I first moved in with a long-term girlfriend, I didn't sleep well sharing the bed. But I quickly got used to it and it became a non-issue within months. years later, we broke up and I went back to sleeping alone… These days I frequently share a bed with various people and it's a non-issue; I sleep perfectly regardless of anyone else being in the bed.
> free speech and avoiding censorship are not just legal rights, they are principles that ought to be defended. those who would argue for a world where the de facto standard is censorship because they are capable of a narrow legalistic interpretation of freedoms are hideously short-sighted. if you endorse the erosion of these principles in the venues where you are strong, your enemies will use your exact arguments to erode them where you are weak.

Although I agree with your general sentiment, I think you're being a bit bullish. It's important to understand what, exactly, we mean by "free speech". John Stewart Mill's On Liberty is the starting point for any such discussion.

In the essay, he discusses "freedom of thought" in this very famous paragraph:

But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

The idea of freedom of speech isn't simply that "anything goes." In fact, the Supreme Court has upheld this position many (many) times: see Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire for the canonical example. Preventing shitposting on 4chan or on Yik Yak is not (I repeat: NOT) an infringement of free speech. There are no veritable opinions there. There is nothing that deserves the invokation of Mill's freedom of thought. In other words, there is nothing of value.

Note that this distinction contrasts with something like Bill O'Reilly's The Factor or your annoyingly conservative grandfather, whom you may disagree with, but who also might have some insight.

But there are some things which we've resolved: we know that Nazis had it wrong, we know that racism is immoral, we know that we landed on the Moon. So not giving a platform to anti-Semites, racists, or flat-Earthers is not an infringement of free thought, as Mill described it.

This is such a beautiful example of the anti-regulation fallacy that so many people for some reason believe in. It's beauty is in that there is literally no argument against the rule, except the vague notion of "freedom", which in this case means freedom to violate the rule which...

"...demand that advisors act in the best interests of
their clients, and to put their clients' interests
above their own. It leaves no room for advisors to
conceal any potential conflict of interest, and
states that all fees and commissions must be clearly
disclosed in dollar form to clients."

I bet almost everyone would have expected this to have been the law all along–in fact I don't quite understand why it wasn't fraud before to give suboptimal advice while collection undisclosed kickbacks. For any advisor conducting his business with a modicum of common decency, nothing changes (except that it will become easier to compete ethically when everyone is playing by the same rules)

A problem Yik Yak had was that it was primarily a university level product and because of the proximity features they had to restart their network growth after each vacation. Tying Location with some kind of organization or have a decay function for location based on time spent in that location could have perhaps fixed the issue.
Today? Old news. Decades ago, I grew up in a private Christian school with specially-oriented textbooks (e.g. "Biology for Christian Schools") to avoid exposing kids to information the parents didn't like. Heck, so did my dad (though his was less extreme than mine - more recently, when he discovered more of what the one he'd picked for me actually taught, he apologized... whoops).

Hell, what do you think white parents moving out of integrating school districts to keep their kids away from black students was about? Same damn thing.
My first experience with truly low-level programming was when I was a teenager. I saw a list of PC interrupts in BYTE magazine and was interested in the one that brought you to the ROM-based BASIC (18h), something I'd never seen. I stuck it into a text editor, saved it as a .com file, and boom! Something that took you to BASIC, which turned out not to be very useful compared to the Apple II (and its DOS) that I was used to at school, but still.

> Norway has civil law rather than common law - doesn't this mean that this decision doesn't work as precedent, as that's only really seen in common law?

Precedent exists in civil law systems also. The difference is that in civil law systems precedent is generally seen as persuasive rather than binding, and lower-level judges have greater freedom to disregard precedent than in common law systems. That said, I think the difference between common law and civil law systems is a matter of degree rather than a stark boundary. Even when they aren't formally speaking bound by precedent, lower civil law courts will tend to respect the past rulings of the higher courts and apply them–no judge likes being overturned on appeal. And, in common law systems, not all precedents are binding, some are merely persuasive; and there is the procedure of "distinguishing" – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinguishing – which enables judges to justify not following a precedent even while still formally affirming it as binding.

> But gccgo already exists, and provides an optimizing compiler backend and extended platform support.

We (SUSE / openSUSE) had an incredible amount of issues with gccgo. The main problem was that the runtime wasn't updated often enough, they had some odd patches that broke the runtime, and you generally had to update the compiler to update the Go version (quite difficult in enterprise distributions).
Why not? If they're "driving" the roads (their term), they're presumably photographing them. You don't need to drive the road just to map it.

I love the simple and clean syntax of Nim. The first time I was very impressed with vim was when I used a wikipedia xml dump parser. What would have literally taken days to complete in Python (atleast on my machine, and god forbid if it had crashed somewhere in the middle) was done in a few mins by nim (again on the same machine). I was blown away!

The one thing that concerns me a bit is that identifiers are partial case-insensitive right?

(That means only the first letters are compared in a case sensitive manner. Other letters are compared case insensitively and underscores are ignored.)

Does it hinder when you need to do refactoring?

Also, I work in vim, and grep for stuff when I need. I am not sure if autosuggests and locating definitions/usage for variables would work. I am sure I must be wrong as I believe the core developers would have thought about it :)
