I think SoundCloud as a service to the consumer is great. Not so much on the business side... Which sucks because so much of the music in my playlist today I found originally through SoundCloud.

What sort of black beans are those? The ones I know aren't edible when raw.
Seems similar to buying experiences, not material possessions. The former grow more valuable over time, the latter lose value over time.

> I disagree about deterrence. There are a lot of shitty parents out there who fear prison more than they fear losing their child. There are even parents who want to kill their children. If it becomes common knowledge that you can get away with murdering your kid as long as you use this technique... I don't really want to think about that.

IMO, if there's any sign of general neglect, then it should certainly be punished harshly. I'm not quite comfortable with doing the same to a loving parent who has one brain fart with terrible consequences. Of course, drawing a clear distinction after the fact can be very difficult, but that's true of many serious crimes.

> I would also say that it should be criminal merely to leave a child in a car like this, even if the child survives.

I tentatively agree with this. Care needs to be taken to ensure you don't hurt the child(ren) even more by taking away an otherwise-excellent parent, but it is dangerous neglect, even if it only happens once and no one is hurt.

what are your thoughts on https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us?
> The energy required to accelerate the vehicle to its top speed and then decelerate it to back to zero increases quadratically as the top speed increases.

What? No. You can, in fact, recover a substantial portion of the energy used to accelerate the vehicle when you decelerate it (quite a lot of it, if it's running in a vacuum with minimal frictional losses). The track would act as a linear motor during acceleration, and a linear generator during deceleration.

> Of course we now know we can produce vacuums these days... but it's not easy to make one.

You don't need a vacuum anywhere near as hard as the Sandusky facility for a transportation system. That operates at 10e-6 torr, while the Hyperloop will operate at 100 Pascals (about 0.75 torr, or 75,000 times higher).
Well, there aren't any more unsolved problems that aren't touched by politics (n.b. this wasn't the case back when CS was a new field and better algorithms were being discovered left and right), and it's no easier to get into a royal family than to get the right person elected.
Thanks, that post was the first thing I thought of, but couldn't remember the details.
I think he meant to bootstrap balancing learning period. Not as an effort.
So here's the deal. There is no absolute truth regarding running, footwear, and injuries. Anyone who says there is, well they're selling something.

And that's the absolute truth.
Well, it was two clinics: a running shoe store in Utah that does not sell vibrams, and then a university physical course called "Jogging.". I already in the vibrams back then, but was not permitted to use them in the class, this was probably 5 years ago now. The strongest feedback about the general difficulty of hitting midfoot properly in shoes with a heel was in the jogging class, I asked about it in the running test at the shop as well. I've visited with doctors on the topic as well, but I suppose I csn't say that I have visited a medical clinic dedicated to helping you run correctly just yet. :D

The major problem was that I could overdo the motion, hitting on the ball of my foot, or underdo it and hit the heel, but hitting the sweet spot for middle foot landing is- well, I can agree with the way you put it, but I'd intensify the statement: the feedback from a well-shoed foot is so weak that an inexperienced person like me will literally not be able to tell the difference between a foot strike that is actually correct and one that is not. My understanding is that a your shoe's heel on a midfoot strike actually still generally touches first, it just does not hit as hard, bit then, like I said, I never really mastered this.

I should mention, well, both the class and the shop took detailed video of me running, from multiple angles, and analyzed them with me, along with analyzing the sole of my regular running shoes (I did own both vibrams and regular running shoes at the time, the vibrams we're sort of my special cases, most especially because they were quite annoying to wear if it rained substantially!)- but analyzed where the wear and tear was on my regular running shoes.
That's true of many crimes, though. Leaving a pan on a hot stove could be insurance fraud, murder, or honest absentmindedness. It's already the court's job to look at the facts and make the best judgment they can.

What does that have to do with anything? This seems like reading an article about how exercise is good for you and replying, "But some people don't have time to exercise!" It's not wrong, but it doesn't add much insight either.
Obviously, anyone who made anything popular and permissively-licensed has undergone such regret when corporations scooped it up and used it gratis without contributing anything back.

Lesson: if you use a permissive license, you are acknowledging that your work is worth nothing to you. Because that's what you'll get for it; whereas it may easily be worthwhile to sell a proprietary-licensed binary of your copylefted work.
> I've been wearing this same model of Brooks shoe since I was 15.

Which model exactly? :-)
What barefoot forces you is to restart that process at very basic level. Your feet are sensitive, if you stomp on the ground as you do with shoes (especially amortizing running shoes) you'll quickly see the problem.

It makes your movement way more subtle, soft, supple and also redistributes effort on the whole limb chain.
The idea is to make it hard for average person to use it - problem solved.

The price of disk has dropped at nearly the same pace as ram. As has the cost of compute. At the same time data growth has increased faster than either has dropped... so I'm not really sure the price argument holds water. If I can buy ram at 1/100th the cost but I need to store 500x more data... that isn't a net win on cost.

Hiring a maid/housecleaner was one of those decisions I categorize in the "holy shit, how did I live without this" category. Right up there with dual monitors.
I have seen these in some Indian cities as well, and it's definitely appreciated. However, much of the US has a winter weather problem, perhaps partly only in perception. No one where I live seems to be excited by outdoor infrastructure because of the lack of use during winter months.
Same. For all the times this is recommended, I haven't found a static blog generator that really works well. WordPress is still the easiest and most flexible to get running, but it's a PITA to keep it maintained.

After trying Lektor (fine for general use, but hard to theme; no pre-baked templating/theming system at all) and Hugo (tbh I don't remember the exact thing here, but I got really frustrated trying to do something and ended up deciding that themeless Lektor was better), I'm now holding out hope that Ghost, while not a SSG, will be good and simple enough that I can self-host a "blog" without falling back to raw HTML editing or WordPress. Started out by having to edit the package dependencies to versions that work on recent versions of Node... :\
The Scala example, yes... The Elixir one? Is it actually a Monad? I figure it's simply destructuring + pattern matching (against the value of the first tuple value, :ok or :error atom).

To expand a bit more, it's not like Scala's `Either[T, U]` where we're limited to a pair of types, I think you can return other atom values (but use :ok and :error) as a convention.

Also, there is an Elixir library I'm using that's a closer in spirit to Scala's for-comprehension called `monadex`. Example below:

result = success(comment_params)
~>> fn p -> link_reply_to_id(p) end
~>> fn p -> create_changeset(p) end
~>> fn cs -> assert_changeset(cs) end
~>> fn cs -> insert_changeset(cs) end
If you start advertising it as a way to bypass blacklist and open it to the world, it will probably get banned.

And self-driving cars may increase congestion yet.

Whatever speed gains self-driving cars may attain by reducing time spent at a (now deprecated) traffic light or at an intersection/yield sign, people may just make more trips because road conditions have temporarily improved, thus cancelling that benefit.

Say you decide not to drive to work but instead take the rail because you don't want to deal with the hassle of traffic. Maybe the rail has its downsides too, but they are acceptable to you. Now if self-driving cars makes highway congestion to work better, you may just be that person who switches from rail to car.

Ok now that dual monitors have been mentioned I'm much more inclined to believe that takeout and maids are the road to happiness. I should seriously get a second monitor.
I had the opposite experience. I'm basically as non-math as you can get and still be in the sciences, and I found the classes quite intelligible (on a fast watch without the notebook, and then a slow watch with the notebook for each class).

FWIW, I think the supplementary material wasn't strictly necessary from a 'using the libraries' point of view. I'll never contribute to this field, but I feeling like Jeremy's explanation were conceptually helpful if not rigorous.

For me, the order was: lesson, notebook+lesson, wiki + supplementary material if something wasn't making sense, and the discussion board if all else failed. That discussion board is basically useless unless you're taking the class in real time I think, which has been my experience for all MOOCs.

Different strokes for different folks.
Definitely agree.. if not legalization, decriminalization. You cannot criminalize someone who is addicted to something. In fact, if were to get politically correct with treating addicts like criminals and arresting them, it is probably likely that over 100 million Americans would be in jail for being addicted to a substance.

I wrote an article on the decriminalization of drugs. The only ones "winning" the war on drugs are those who have turned it into a business. http://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com/drug-user-decrimi...
Is it inconceivable to so many maid nay-sayers on this thread that some people actually don't mind cleaning houses? That some view it as comparatively good money for the labor expended?

It is amazing to me that the same person who will be self-righteous in refusing to hire a maid will have no problem at all ordering an item on Amazon (where countless faceless staff do 'potentially unpleasant logistics labor' to get that package to your doorstep).
Ha, for some reason I was expecting this to be biting satire about immigration.
It's a set of register settings. The code in the game looks like a bunch of function calls; the stuff the emulator has to deal with is a bunch of opcodes in the FIFO. There's no interpretation per se in the shader - it's not like a pixel shader or a vertex shader, with some kind of bytecode type of affair. It's more like the NV_register_combiners GL extension (http://developer.download.nvidia.com/opengl/specs/GL_NV_regi...).
I honestly can't recall any piece of open source software being disparaged this badly on HN. People here are not given to panning such work, yet here we see very little restraint in the criticism. pgadmin 4 must really have some problems.

I've never tried it; I could tell from the requirements and the "deployment" instructions that I wanted nothing to do with it. Guess I saved myself some grief.

edit: looking back a bit I find this[1] "Ask HN":

"The problem with pgAdmin 4 is that it is garbage"

And no one contradicts this claim.

To my mind this situation indicates severe dysfunction in the PostgresQL community. All indications are that pgadmin 4 has been failing hard for at least a year now, and worse, whomever is responsible for this appears oblivious.

That's for babies, under 30 days old, which the parents could have readily put up for adoption even without this law. Moreover, the government treats it as a criminal act (abandonment) in some states.

Like I said above, it surprisingly difficult to get a straightforward answer to this.
How Jeff Bezos Innovates at Amazon
Obviously, Musk is killing it with Tesla and SpaceX. There is no doubt about that. He will be remembered in the history books for this.

But is he really serious about this Boring company stuff? The whole thing sounds ludicrous. Even if he reduces cost 10x, they are still crazy expensive and have a lot sorts of strange complications. I don't get it.
I had this same idea for quite a while and it's nice to see it has got a proper name. I always wondered whether it would make sense when it's applied to jobs - ie. jobs like being a chef or bartender will be around for a long long time, while being a programmer probably not.

Hey, everyone! Fiction Hub is finally out of beta, and I would really love to know what you think!

I've completely rewrote the site, and added a marketplace for publishing and buying stories. I have also built some cool tools that will help writers to develop good habits and write regularly, and more convenient reading functionality for readers.

Also, it is now possible to publish screenplays using Fountain(example: https://fictionhub.io/post/big-fish/)

Really looking forward to your feedback! =)
>> The only real defense is to glance at the url bar every time you're about to enter your password

With Google specifically, the worst part is you really do have to look at the URL every single time you go to enter your password. And by that I mean that if you land on the login page, verify the URL, enter your password, submit, and get the error page saying you got the password wrong... you must check the URL again before re-entering your password.

Why? Because Google's login, by design - and repeatedly defended by them as being "acceptable" - allows redirecting off Google's properties after login. So hackers send you to the real Google login page, with a post-login redirect to a fake but perfect copy of the "wrong password, try again" page, where they then capture the passwords of people who mindlessly re-enter their password without double checking the URL a second time.

Most importantly, 2FA does not help you here. You'll enter a currently valid 2FA code on the hacker's site, and they will immediately use that code to actually log in to your account. Before you realize what is happening, you are already locked out of your account - new password, 2FA stripped or replaced, security questions changed, and all pre-existing sessions/devices wiped.
Many websites block users of common VPNs.

Russia's Putin orders 755 US diplomatic staff to leave
Yeah, we really need to distinguish between a 2FA app and a dedicated hardware key. My phone is probably the least secure thing I've ever owned, both in terms of technical security, and physical security.

This whole 2FA thing has been really jarring for me, because I always treated my phone like a public space: no password, no private data (that I know of), ready for inspection by foreign authorities. Of all the things the world could ask me to trust, why the phone?
I think most cookbooks make cooking extra complicated so that people feel like they're getting value from a recipe.

I think that even with generators, you don't quite get Go style concurrency due to lack of concurrency for non-IO bound tasks. For a real world use case, suppose you are compiling TypeScript. Without web workers or running in a separate process, the compilation will block because it is CPU bound. You can get around this with generators by explicitly putting in pause points through yielding, but that is assuming that one can break up the task and that it doesn't depend on some external blocking library.

When Mom was stuck with using a modem, I bought her a (literal) stack of USR Courier v.Everything modems (cheap, since a lot of ISPs in Austin were ditching dialup service around that time).

She had lightning hits and storms so often that I told her "if you try to dial up and the modem isn't working, just unplug it, toss it in the trash, and plug in the next one off the stack." Had to do this even with surge protection inline for both power and phone line.

Only in the past couple of years have I been able to get an LTE phone signal at her house (only while standing on the porch, not inside the building) and that's from a tower a few miles away...

I developed the habit of feeling each item instead of just patting the pocket. That way, if the item is missing you won't be able to complete the action.

On the other hand, I've found that I now have the problem that if there's an item that's supposed to be missing (for example if I've lent my keys to someone) I have a constant low-grade panic where I keep checking my pockets, realizing there's something missing, reminding myself that it's supposed to be, and then doing the whole thing over again a few minutes later.
Title needs a (2013) annotation.
And 99% of developers spend their entire careers without giving as much as a passing thought to cache locality. Quick, how long, in cycles, does it take to retrieve data from RAM? About 200 cycles. 200 cycles is a very long time if you miss cache often. Scattered RAM reads can be _slower_ than sustained linear disk reads (that is, once the disk actually gets around to reading, which takes a while).
Physical keys would solve the problem of redirecting to a fake page (and maybe they would make 3-rd party auth protocols like OAuth or Github login unnecessary).
No, I would mean six days, not 13. Guess it's ambiguous between different people but I always understood it like the GP explained.
You may possibly be conflating concurrency and parallelism. JS has concurrency due to its event-based programming model, but not parallelism due to its single-threaded nature.

The TypeScript compilation you mention likely has many concurrently running tasks, just not in parallel (modulo the I/O thread pool as you mention).
I used to think there was a lot of value in the concept of pair programming but I think the Pull Request and Code Review model is simply superior. It allows for a lot of the benefits of pair programming but with lower costs. I've always found that even looking over someone's shoulder to help debug something slows to a crawl. It takes more discipline than most engineers have to keep it truly paired.
