I hesitate to even post this, but I listened to the audio examples and it seems like this project was not yet a success. I'm not trying to be a jerk or snarky, but the reconstructed audio sounded terrible.
If i may..?
The equally symetrical layout is hard to read, you should rather use an one third - two thirds layout, or about.
Then i'd try something like #FFF1CA for the left hand column, so it looks like the text (i know they right now are the exact same color but one being surrounded by black making it look lighter).
Also, maybe increasing the padding up of the right col up to a 100px would prevent eyes from being lost between both columns when jumping lines.
Overall contrast is way too high.
Hope that helps.
I don't understand the right axis of the chart. The price of the game increased linearly with the number of owners?
That's pretty impressive. Usually they somehow turn around the whole issue during this kind of "apology" but he pretty much says he behaved badly and that's it.

Edit: After reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14622737 I think he is just a big asshole who wants to make this go away so he can get back to business. No real remorse.
Ok... replace compelling with insightful or noteworthy. You're being pretty defensive and seem to be taking my responses personally. I'm discussing your reasoning, not your personality. This is a discussion forum, and as you stated, someone asked a question, you answered, and I explained why I find your answer to be lacking, it's as simple as that. I didn't attack you or insult you so I'm not sure why you perceive a simple reply to your comment as my having "a problem" with you. If you find mild criticism to be so harrowing you're more than free to ignore my replies at your own discretion.
The industry I'm in is all SMEs - they regularly complain about people messaging them [ie SMS, aka "text"] out of work hours. Like "a customer texted me at 9pm about something how inconsiderate". They don't seem to understand it's absolutely considerate and that the idea is they respond when they next want to make themselves available. Mind you some people will get annoyed if they're not texted back straight away; why they don't then phone I'm not sure.
I'm a lawyer too, and I've never seen a company give this kind of provision for employees or even management. It is, as the article points out, highly unusual and the potential risks for the company would be extremely high. I have seen the "retained in memory" provision in NDAs, but as might be imagined, they are hard to enforce and even harder to prove, so the reseult is that the disclosing side doesn't let the other see the real family jewels. There is no way Google has an analogous provision allowing their former employees to use confidential information that's retained in their minds. Very curious about the actual text of the provision and how it might apply (if at all) to any potential criminal actions.
It also had a zillion upvotes as well, though.

I tried doing some non-trivial contributions, and unfortunately there's currently some degree of a problem where there are not enough people actively revieving contributions and having enough authority in the project to be able to merge with confidence. Is it maybe not enough sponsorship for the project, compared to its popularity? Or does it not have a person with enough organisational experience in non-profits?
> I am skeptical that my $10/month would let me talk to a human if something went wrong.

I have received exceptional support over the years, including them calling me twice when I reported an issue. My account is worth $5/month and I live in Fiji.
We are using fastmail as well, and it is great. They have a solution for every weird mail-problem we tried to solve, i.e.
shared inbox folders, shared calendars and integration with "dump" client applications.

For example your username might differ in order to access a shared calendar.

Also you can generate application passwords for an account. So you can create an SMTP-only application password for your fastmail account.
> Among the allegations made to The Information are that Caldbeck sent explicit text messages to women; that Caldbeck sent messages in the middle of the night suggesting meeting up; that Caldbeck suggested going to a hotel bedroom during a meeting; that Caldbeck made a proposition about having an open relationship; and that Caldbeck grabbed a woman’s thigh under the table of a bar during a meeting.
There isn't really, because the moment you reveal enough actual details that it's possible to identify you, you also open yourself up for subtle forms of retaliation.
More important than thinking about it is profiling it.

You won't know what to optimise if you don't know what needs optimising.

Thinking hard is a necessary second step, of course.

Can you share a link to the other thread?
I for one appreciated the question "what is BGP?" for the following reasons...

1. It allows me to understand that I am not the only one who doesn't understand the terminology involved, allowing the discussion to be more educational and inclusive.

2. Sometimes searching for terminology is ambiguous and without prior knowledge of the subject domain, can result in lack of confirmation as to whether the definition is the same as the one in the article.

3. For one person to ask here and have it answered, can save 100 people having to search for themselves when reading the comments.
Although it doesn't redeem him, I have to give it to Caldbeck that that's the best possible response I think it's possible to give.

You are right on every account, but you have to actually know who Robespierre was to get the pun.
Oh. And personally I am using mailbox.org which is also nice but a little bit cheaper. And the feature-set is still great, but limited compared to FastMail. Also the webui in mailbox.org is slower than for fastmail.
Thanks for the answer. :)
Writing docs is hard ...
You can think of PostgREST as one big pure(ish) function
It translates ONE http request to ONE SQL query and executes it in a transaction (after setting some context).
There is very little overhead. 90%+ of the time of a request is consumed by the db running the query. So usually, a request is about 5ms-10ms (without network time).
Take a look at this example of relatively complicated component-tests w/ markojs. It is an example of testing a transcluded component's variation (arguably very valuable and complicated to test) and all the code, setup, tests, etc. are very straightforward to understand.

People with families who have a stable income capable of supporting that family will usually have time for at least 1 hobby. This covers the vast majority of middle class families.
Not everyone is lucky enough for that, but quite a few software developers are (the category of people most likely to be working on an indie game in their spare time)
This was a touching story. Thank-you for sharing it.
thanks for your feedback!
Yes limited to legal states, starting in CA. I def think the market is big enough, many very successful dispensaries (online and stores) - and this addresses the casual / foodie centric market which is the fastest growing segment. Boxes can be customized 2 of 3 products required.

I highly suspect money of that volume was raised by a few of the early adopters that are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars of crypto currency. No way was that crowd funding at work.
But Scheme is untyped too AFAIK - isn't it? So it'd require the same degree of "fixing" as long as we're talking about the discussed article.
wow, first I've heard about this. How does this differ from the Nerves project, which also boots directly into the Erlang VM?
From the article:

"And in the UK, at least, DID is a controversial diagnosis. It is listed in both of the main psychiatric manuals used around the world (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, produced by the American Psychiatric Association, and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, produced by the World Health Organization). But in practice, says Aquarone, there can still be reluctance among psychiatrists to accept it. DID is now thought to affect perhaps 1% of people (about the same rate as schizophrenia), yet there have been claims from sceptics that perhaps patients are simply acting out different identities, and that a proneness to fantasy explains the entire disorder.

"Brain imaging work supports the idea that people with DID are not acting, and there is other research refuting such claims. In 2016, for example, a team at King’s College London published a study of 65 women, including some diagnosed with DID. They concluded that the women with DID were no more fantasy-prone, suggestible or likely to generate false memories than those without a diagnosis. According to the authors, this result challenges the core hypothesis of the ‘fantasy model’.

"Melanie is now a director of First Person Plural, a dissociative identity disorders association, and she frequently talks to psychologists, psychiatrists, GPs and care workers, spreading the word that DID is real. She and Aquarone recently helped to organise the first conference on services for people with trauma-related dissociation – it brought together clinicians from the NHS and the private and voluntary sectors. One of the big challenges, they note, is that it can take many months of therapy with a specialist in dissociative disorders to help a patient, but this is generally only available privately."
The wages are livable for the temporary foreign workers who came in seasonally. This was standard operating procedure. These towns are tourist towns. So now you have whole local economies shutting down because Americans need jobs. Oh the irony.
How can it be debunked? It's all internal to a person. I'm not comfortable telling people what they feel/who they are is wrong.

I know multiple "collectives", as I've heard them called, on some online chatrooms. They seem perfectly functional and logically consistent.

Not sure why you are being down voted. You speak the truth.

Just peering into your average bower_components or node_modules folder is like staring into the abyss.

Guess that's the gift and the curse of OSS based web dev. I think there are far too many cooks.
I think I remember it being something about the ratio of comments to votes; lots of comments per vote mean that it's controversial, and controversial posts age off faster.

Even if I agreed that some ads have benefit, the cost-benefit analysis (with costs including screen space, compute, bandwidth and the malware threat) still looks grim enough to justify adblocking IMO.
My bad. My phrasing should've been better. I am not implying anything on the value side of ICO vs VC backed real world companies.

Looking for feedback on my new venture
I created a simple "social address book". When you sign up you are not charged for 30 days. Please sign up, check it out and if you'd like send me feedback. If you cancel within 30 days you will not be charged.

The idea was to start off very simple and add features if necessary. So, any feature suggestions will be added to a list and if they prove to be heavily requested we will add them in the future.

If you find bugs please let me know.

Here is the 'blurb' you will find on the home page.

"A social address book.

Simply sign up, add your mailing address, and connect with friends. When your friends update their mailing address, you will see the changes on your profile page.

We take your privacy seriously, all your information is private and secure. Only you know what contacts you have."

Thanks everyone.

The B&B thing was solved by AirBnB.
You need some equipment that is not common but it is certainly possible. I got a chance to see some of the transistors that Jeri Ellsworth "baked" in her own fab.

Generally creating metal layers was going to be hard (you need a vacuum chamber to sputter aluminum on the die)

There had been a guy trying to sell most of a 100mm fab line in Santa Cruz at one point, to make chips you needed some pretty nasty chemicals though. Berkeley used to have a fab line they ran for their graduate students (I don't know if they still do or not).

I guess the bottom line is how much effort are you willing to put into the project ? :-)
But they'll most likely read them for another purpose, for example training their AI.
FWIW - I've set ridiculously low buy orders on Bitcoin exchanges and had them filled by flash dumps and I wasn't the one who caused the crash.

Crypto markets are notoriously volatile. This isn't the first nor the last time this will happen.

Curious what Tiffany Zhong has to say...only reason I have heard of this place is because she was known as the youngest VC in the Valley until she left last year.
I like it a lot. There's something quite endearing about seeing human-legible text (beyond city names / interface names) in reverse DNS.
The rate-limiting analogy can work: thing is the boat is leaking, so you think that if you let someone in it will leak quicker. And it will. But when you let someone in then you can bail it out and they can row (or vice-versa). You're still sinking but actually slower and now you can move too. Let someone else on and you can stop the sinking.

Testing the limits of the analogy, but there you are.

The New Sticker Shock: Plunging Cellphone Bills
Given that the list is 348 pages long, I assume that's actually all indie games sorted by sales. So the middle of the list should be the median game.
Sadly there's basically zero transparency in flagging vs comments/downvoting penalty. However when a new thread with few comments is artificially low it's almost certainly due to flag abuse. Trends in the topics that tend to get flag abused become obvious over time.
It's totally doable! Although it does take some non-household equipment and chemicals. But much of the equipment you need can be purchased off ebay for relatively cheap.

It's actually a hobby project I'm working on right now, to create some large transistors and simple circuits. My goal is 10um process (aka 1970's technology), but I'd be pretty happy with something a few orders of magnitude higher.

Jeri Ellsworth is the first that I'm aware of having created some large transistors (NMOS process) in her garage and documented the process:

- https://hackaday.com/2010/05/13/transistor-fabrication-so-si...

- http://4hv.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?85399....

And Sam Zeloof very recently did similar:

- https://hackaday.com/2017/02/25/the-fab-lab-next-door-diy-se...

- Lots of other cool stuff on his blog too, like a SEM he restored in his garage, sputtering experiments, etc: http://sam.zeloof.xyz/

As for me, I'm tackling the maskless lithography step first and repurposing a pico projector with modified optics, laser and translation XY stage. More details being blogged actively here: https://hackaday.io/project/25260-makerfoundry

> Would the physics work at that large scale? It could be a cool way to demonstrate the concepts.

Transistors definitely work at the macro scale (see Jeri and Sam's transistors), but they do have some funky properties. Their switching speed is slow, and due to impurities in the process tend to be unstable or have weird thresholds.

Edit: Since folks keep mentioning toxic chemicals, thought I'd list some that are involved. They are unpleasant, but not terribly awful in the grand scheme of chemicals. Mostly just strong acids and bases, but not a whole slew of neurotoxins or anything:

- Piranha solution (sulfuric acid + hydrogen peroxide)

- RCA clean 1 (ammonia hydroxide + hydrogen peroxide)

- RCA clean 2 (hydrochloric acid + hydrogen peroxide)

- Oxide strip (hydrofluoric acid)

- Various photoresist developers (potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide)

- Wet etchants (similar to developers, KOH, NaOH, etc)

So yeah, some strong acids and bases there, but nothing that isn't handled in undergrad ochem lab courses. The only nasty one in there really is HF, simply because of it's propensity to dissolve bone and not feel the burn until it's seeped in. But Jeri Ellsworth has shown that it's doable to use the dilute HF cleaner you can find in the super market (Rust Remover) which is ~3% iirc, and much less toxic.

When I worked in a wet bio lab, we handled nastier stuff routinely (acrylamide, ethidium bromide, etc) with a lot less caution (gloves, labcoat, goggles, common sense, you're good).
Ever bad language feature gets used eventually. This is doubly true for frameworks where not only are bad features used, but also unintended and hidden features. Even if I know when to avoid 2-way binding, there is a high likelihood that someone else does not or does know, but adds a TODO because they "didn't have the time" to do it right.

In my view, the best solution is to (as far as possible) eliminate questionable features from the framework and enforce good practices.
It would be more impressive to not harass women founders. This apology moves him above harassers who don't apologize, but still miles below non-harassers.

Beware of giving someone too much credit for doing something very harmful, then apologizing for it effusively. It doesn't undo the harm.
Sounds like an excuse to me. If you love to do something, you'll make the time for it.

It's not that people with families or other commitments don't have time to do things. They just make choices on what things are most important to them and do those things instead. And say crummy things like, "I wish I had the time for that".

It's not really the job of some guy that's describing his strategy to account for every other person and their decisions and all the alternate ways they choose to spend their time.
My experience on HN is that stories about sexism often disappear quickly. It's often that I click on a story on the front page to read the comments, only to see it flagged a few moments later.

My explanation is that there is a significant number of HN readers that flag stories about sexism in tech because they don't believe them, but of course I don't have any evidence for that.

This is standard PR bullshit. Clearly in this situation, the evidence was so cut-and-dry and unambiguous that Caldbeck had no choice but to admit defeat.

Recently I had to edit test data for a grading platform (People upload their programs, the programs get called with the test data and they get feedback if their program works correctly). One test file had 900 000 characters in one line. Almost 1 MB, not a single linebreak. The grading platform is a webpage and you upload things through an online editor, so I pasted the file in Firefox and Firefox crashed.
Fixed that with right: 55%, thanks.
It seems to me, that all visual programming languages, with the exception of Piet [1] and the ZigZag langs [2], combine the editor and the language. This seems weird to me. Its not like VIM is both a text editor AND a programming language.

Of course its trivial to steal data if you're on the inside. Snowden could copy classified docs onto a USB stick and smuggle them out of a fucking NSA office. If I were to plug in a USB drive at work, no one would bat an eye. They'd probably think it's for Time Machine.
