Ahhh - this brings back memories. On a more significant note, our student association was able to get a merchant account up and running with them with _significantly_ less work than trying to re-enable our PayPal account after we hit their 'verification ceiling', and the fees worked out vastly cheaper although we did opt for a fixed monthly payment + lower per transaction cost. This was some years ago (in the UK) but I really second the argument that much cheaper rates can be had by simply shopping around (of course like any business/financial decision you'll want to factor in dev time / service levels etc etc) and getting a real merchant account isn't really that difficult.
Well, New Jersey is still the only state to have a programming language named for it (SML/NJ, in case you were curious)...
I was going to say the same thing. Just in case you've forgotten or have yet to experience the horrendous food of Applebees or Buffalo Wild Wings, a quick Yelp search will remind you and redirect you to a more palatable option.

Is there a DRM-free way to watch this?
Hit similar problem and after go through bunch of trouble when I worked to update decade old website with non-UTF8 encoding and it's end up that Chrome removed that trivial encoding selection feature from menu.

So I switched back to Firefox after probably 7 years with Chrome / Chromium and absolutely happy with it. Also end-up that modern web pretty much usable with NoScript and ability to install some YouTube enhancement addons is nice.

It's been a long, long time since I read that book but if you like science fiction or literature I'd advise reading something good in either genre instead. It was an emotionally flat book without giving the impression that it aimed at beautiful writing and total disinterest in the characters, like Lolita or American Psycho.
biology and economics aren't humanities. But as for art history - how much would you pay for such an education, specifically?

My wife, for one, did not grow up in an environment that encouraged critical thinking. In school she did the work and got 'A's, but admits that she never really questioned anything. And apparently her parents never tried to get her to ask deeper questions about the world.

She wasn't really interested in science, literature, math, or history. She wasn't really interested in anything having to do with education. It was just what she was "supposed to do". She remained in this state throughout most of her 20s.

In the last few years though, she has started homeschooling our daughters and has completely immersed herself in the liberal arts, as well as math and some science (she never had a good basis for understanding science and still struggles with it). It's almost like talking to a different person now.

She has read more books in the last year than she had in her entire life previous. She argues, what I would consider, well. She doesn't fall for the unreasoned ideas of bloggers and mainstream news anymore. It's pretty awesome.

Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what it is that any one person could do to develop these skills other than immersing themselves in whatever subject they're into and exposing themselves to all sides of an argument.

Also, I've realized that it helps to get out of your own head sometimes and just let all the information wash over you. Don't try to scrutinize every little thing immediately. Your subconscious will remember bits and pieces that you will use later.
This is certainly true within the CS department at Purdue. There are some really passionate professors (Gustavo for my fellow boilermakers), however they're typically only involved in the upper level courses. It'd be easy to look at the first two classes in the program and assume that was the norm, but things really change as the degree continues to specialize through your 4 years.
After going back and forth on whether I wanted a Yubikey, I finally decided I didn't want to support them due to the closed sourceness.

I bought an Open PGP Card instead! https://www.g10code.com/p-card.html

You still have to buy your own card reader, and any card readers on the market aren't as small as the Yubikey... but it's a fantastic device and I love mine to death.

Note: the yubikey actually uses the open pgp card inside of it (which the actual implementation from the chip supplier is hardware-closed-source, although the reference architecture is open). The nitrokey too. They technically all have closed source with the BasicCard that runs inside them! With that in mind the secret-sauce of the yubikey is also closed source, where there's no secret sauce around your OpenPGP Card to be closed source.

Thanks for getting the Queen song "I've got to bream free" playing in my head.

I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm actively suffering, but that I've recently experienced a complete 180 in a lot of my views & world. I value the experiences I cited and am not looking to avoid having them because putting energy toward appeals would be a recipe for burnout. The point I'm trying to make is I don't need their acceptance. I don't have to wear my status on my sleeve and can still bring it up when it's relevant. I'm most certainly not going to hide a key part of myself because of other's reactions. I actively challenge people's minds about what theirs is capable of simply through sharing my experiences and who I am. They can expect conformity all they want and they'll likely burn out before I do because denial takes more energy/effort than acceptance. Also, denial sticks in the mind, while acceptance allows you to move forward.

I really am interested in any ideas you have on social experiments I can conduct to prove/disprove your perspectives in this thread. Whatcha got?
You probably know that Naim is in a whole different category - this isn't a speaker for people that know Naim, Dali, KEF and Co. It's for potential Sonos or Bose buyers.

It's an unfortunate trend in my opinion, but it's all about small wireless speakers these days. They sound good enough...for their size, but are nowhere close to being comparable to real speakers. Hell, if this was about sound quality you'd be a lot better off with a pair entry level studio monitors (Yamaha, JBL) or budget bookshelf speakers (Elac, Dali Zensor, ...) and probably have money left.
One of the smartest people I've met had this exact job immediately after HS. If this is the type of career you want it's actually a very good path. It gets you relevant experience while most of your HS classmates are still in college, you can get a degree either during your tour or immediately after, debt free, and by the time you're done you've been pretty extensively vetted.

It's an unpopular one in most circles, but I'm still a huge fan of ASP.NET MVC. C# is a fantastic language, and the .NET framework allows me to do nearly everything I wish to do.

I also quite like Django, but I am tempted to pick up Flask at some point and use it in anger, as I've only toyed with it in the past.
UK Supermarkets by Brand and Size
Seconded. I can only see differences if I change my monitor settings and zoom the image. So, for the original size as shown without changing configurations from the monitor, there is no clear looser/winner.
The only competitor core has for eternally non-volatile low tech near radiation proof infinitely rewritable electrical data storage is latching relays and each bit of latching relay is huge in comparison to core. Also latching relays unlike core has moving parts that will eventually wear out. A million cycles sounds like a long time for a latching relay to live, but as a register or memory for a computer at 0.1 Hz thats only two months or so. So if you want to use latching relays you're limited to applications where the system will never perform more than a couple hundred thousand bit flips.

The marketplace for eternally non-volatile low tech near radiation proof no moving parts infinitely rewritable data storage is roughly nil, unfortunately. Maybe a space probe to the worst parts of Jupiter or as part of a nuclear missile warhead.

"In the old days" they had to make the ferrite cores, then characterize them, then wrap them into memory units by hand, but I would imagine given enough money one could find a way to 3-d print cores around taut stainless steel wires then fire the core ceramic, automating the process. Given a very large budget of course.

Its probably cheaper in practice to ship very large amounts of flash wrapped in lead shielding.
Sure! I will join the conversation. Also, I can get some ideas to improve the tool :)
What the Hacker News Front Page Did for My App
There's an amazing way of encoding data called "gold codes". By having enough pixels like this, you can correlate the image with the expected pattern, and successfully extract data even though no individual pixel is visible.

It's used in GPS transmissions to allow decoding signals considerably weaker than the background noise. Because the receiver is aware what the signal should look like, it can extract it despite all the noise by averaging across all the samples.

It does require perfect alignment though, which might be tricky considering camera lens warping, etc.

I think it also prevents crimes of opportunity, since you'd have to hold on to the nuts until you could legally sell them.

So if you went to somebodies farm in the middle of the night and loaded up a semi, you'd have to stash that semi somewhere for a month rather that selling it the next day.

For a more urban example I live in a city and there are scrappers who driver around in pickup trucks all over. It is commonly known that some will steal things made out of metal from your yard unless it's bolted down. They also steal copper wire from building sites, etc.

Now generally by the time someone notices that the scrap is missing the person has already turned in their scrap for money. And if the police figure out who did it and where they took it, the evidence has already been shredded and mixed with similar metals.

If you had to hold on to scrap for a month before you could sell it, you'd be way more likely to catch people red handed.

Do you know which academic groups are doing this kind of fundamental research in neural networks?
Yubikey originally supported an open source applet that ran on a proprietary runtime. A positive for this partially open source approach was that a serious bug was found in the applet (PIN bypass) and they had to do a recall. They have since switched to 100% proprietary.

https://developers.yubico.com/ykneo-openpgp/SecurityAdvisory...

I think they catch more flack because of the switch than they would have if they had been completely proprietary the entire time! (Even though the original open source applet couldn't be trusted completely since it ran on a proprietary runtime, the same way many do not trust open source Android software on phones due to proprietary cellular hardware.)

Relative to the job itself-- you didn't mention anything about the role, technology stack, or space. Something to consider, assuming you stay with them 2-3 years -- how might you leverage this experience into the next thing?
Quick aside, many people who go to Harvard Business School receive financial aid or pay for it out of their own pocket -- the school determines need based on your assets and not those of your parents. While there probably are still students who get support from rich dads, it is not the same kind of only-for-the-rich place that you are depicting...
Yes, but your employer pays you some $100,000 for what is most people's best 8 hours daily. In most cases, whatever an employer did code in his spare time, which is related to the employer's business, would be inspired by or downright copied from whatever he or his coworkers did in the office.

If you don't like it, you are free to accept another job offer or to quit and make your own business out of that thing you were thinking of but didn't do because you feared your employer would claim ownership.
I've never seen rates that low for recurring payments. Swiped cards in a brick-and-mortar, sure. The kind that batch nightly. But not for a SaaS where someone types in a card and you keep charging it for the next 36 months.
I'm not going to start an elaborate timed exercise ritual so co-workers won't notice when I go to the bathroom. That's ridiculous.

On a side note, I used to work in a small software startup where I was the only female. I was on my period at the time and also wanted to fix my hair, so I just brought my purse with me. I crossed paths with one of my co-workers on the way to the bathroom and he asked "Are you leaving?" I told him I was just going to the bathroom. He said "Why are you bringing your purse?"

I just looked him straight in the eyes, smiled, shook my head slightly, and said "Dan, never ask a woman why she's taking her purse to the bathroom." I'm pretty sure he walked away more embarrassed than I was ;)

But yeah, I'd rather do THAT once in a while than keep a freaking timer on my desk.

8 WORST Design Trends Every UX Designer Should Avoid
I agree with you. I found this problem in the past when I added several SVG files from different sources to a site. Every file had a different space, so I needed to fix them manually.

The main idea of this tool is to inspect the SVG. Currently, I don't plan to add any edition feature. However, I want to add a linter and this could be a great suggestion. I think it's possible to calculate the minimum viewBox and show the value as a suggestion if it's different from the current one.

What do you think? Thanks!
Wow. Indeed, I did not know this - he was visiting professor for four years and also ended up at the
Institute for Advanced Study:

"In 1929 von Neumann accepted an invitation to come to Princeton as a visiting professor for one term. Given a continuing half-time appointment the following year, he spent one term each year in Princeton and one in Germany until 1933 when, at the age of 30, he accepted appointment as the youngest and one of the first professors in the newly founded Institute for Advanced Study. In 1937 he became a United States citizen."

Many people on HN seem to forget that many strides in computer science, computer architecture, and mathematics came from schools that don't start with an "S" and are from outside of the Bay Area. I think it is more that the definition of how you measure innovation has shifted over time -- now it is based on how many dollars are raised for your venture vs. actual strides being made in academic fields of study.
Fellow Zoni here, and a moon-lighting HVAC service tech. To clarify a common misconception, A/C refrigerant does not cool air even though that is the net result.

Einstein's field equations are a system of extremely nonlinear partial differential equations. Actually using them to compute something is very nontrivial. And of course gravity is but one of the many forces at play here. You still have to account for thermodynamics, chemistry, nuclear physics, and other complicated effects to understand what's going on here.
I'm not passing any judgement or condemnation. Everyone is allowed spend their money as they like, as well as value what they like. I was more aggravated by the tone of your final two questions "What more do you think this world has to offer you? Do you want servants?"

European countries are often similarly diverse and don't have the same prison population. Also, when you are talking about numbers in percents of population the amount of executions to make a real difference in population would be staggering and border on genocide, which, outside of a few exceptions, isn't the case.

I believe in the united states it is simply against the terms of service of the card provider. I imagine the law isn't "allowing" customers to pay processing fees, it's simply preventing the provider from setting those terms.
Thanks, very informative. If you implement a visual language, you also have to implement the means to input your code, i.e. you have to implement not just a language, but also an IDE.

The other thing to note is that hardware had influenced programming languages, which in turn have influenced hardware, in the direction of SISD on CPUs and later SIMD on GPUs. But textual languages are poorly suited, and visual languages well-suited, for representing dataflow. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was active research on dataflow hardware as well as work on (mostly textual) dataflow languages. Now, CPU speeds are no longer improving exponentially as they were in the past, so dataflow should be re-examined.

I've been working on my own visual dataflow language (http://web.onetel.com/~hibou/fmj/FMJ.html). I haven't updated the pages for some time, but big changes are under way.
