In baseball, there is a long tradition of deception and trick plays. Anything that agrees with the rules is fair to use against your opponents. You can hide the ball and pretend a different person has it, pretend there are three outs when there are only two outs, pretend that the ball has gone past you into the outfield when you've actually caught it, etc. Contrary to the article, it is even an accepted part of the game in youth baseball, because it isn't considered a negative gesture towards your opponents. (I played youth baseball, and I can tell you that there are people who get very angry about trick plays, but they are typically people who have not played the sport and don't realize that it's done in a spirit of cleverness and desire to win, not disrespect.)

What was extraordinary about the trick play in the story was that

1) it took advantage of a rule that even competitive players and coaches might not understand perfectly, especially in the heat of the moment, and

2) it flustered the other team so much that it caused intense distress, and they handled it just well enough that the distressing situation dragged on to the point of making everyone uncomfortable, even the team that executed the play.

Of course everyone who was there that day had to live it in a real time, and you can't complain about how they reacted, but with a little bit of distance, I don't think the batting team did anything wrong. I don't approve of personally disrespectful behavior, but baseball has a long tradition of this kind of trickery being completely orthogonal to the question of respecting your opponents. Winning on a trick play is no less respectful than winning by hitting a triple or striking someone out. Both teams are constantly challenging each other in ways they hope the other team can't handle, and one team gets beat and goes home losers.

I think its already been iterated on by other commenters, but almost all of this advice is wrong. Name brands play a huge roll in careers, even in programming ones. If you have worked a long career and havent worked at a big name company, thats a huge negative signal.

As far as I know, there are not "React" patents. Facebook has many patents, but I haven't seen anyone point to any patent which specifically involves React. The author of https://medium.com/@dwalsh.sdlr/react-facebook-and-the-revok... did a cursory search and concluded:

"To determine patent liability asserted by Facebook, we need to assess Facebook’s various patents and their claims. Or more specifically, which Facebook patents claim any underlying React technology? As the above illustrates, this is not a trivial question. But in my cursory search, that answer is zero. (Again, if you have examples, send them over.) Moreover, it would suprise me given the USPTO and courts general disfavor of software patents if Facebook had anything patentable in React, much less actually patented. The prior art of componetization, diffing, and virtual doms circa 2013 is very well known, and I don’t see any applicable continuation patent applications."
Ding ding ding right answer. This is the way most senior javascript devs would right it.
How does that work? Should the kernel walk the stack to change all the saved cookie values of the forked copy? I doubt the kernel even knows where the saved cookie values are stored on the stack. Also, that would make fork quite slow, depending on how the deep the stack was when the fork happened.
How do cryptocurrency adherents explain this? I mean, that value has to come from somewhere.

As I recall, when the fork just happened, the explanation was that the price of BCH was largely meaningless, because you couldn't actually withdraw them as cash, either directly or via BTC or other coins. You could only trade within confines of exchanges where they materialized. Did that change since then?
Or YUI
I'm not seeing how it's unpredictable and inconvenient. It's predictable if the stack address can be leaked (via a frame pointer leak, for example). It doesn't seem that inconvenient. Instead of including the address of a gadget in the chain, include the gadget xor the leaked stack address. What's the unpredictable and inconvenient part that I'm not seeing?
Wouldn't any programmer recognize that Boolean(val) is a cast to a True/False value that's most likely an object, given the uppercase?
They claimed to be damaged all throughout the complaint, yet didn't provide any evidence. Imagine explaining this to someone non-technical like your grandmother. You can make up a story and that non-technical person is going to have no idea if you are telling the truth or not.
Show HN: Featuretracker.com – A simple way to track features
Hey, HN! Cody and Jake here, the founders of FeatureTracker (https://www.featuretracker.com). We have one simple goal, to allow creators to make data-backed decisions when building interfaces. Maybe you have a really fancy date picker and are looking for ways to scale it back. With FeatureTracker you can track the granular usage of each component of that date picker, then decide what to keep and what to cut based on actual numbers.

We track specific clicks and provide a few simple data points to make you feel a little more comfortable making decisions and less like you’re driving into the dense fog that can be product development.

We built this to help us answer questions and hope it can help a few others too. We're aiming to keep things simple as possible. We'd love to hear from you, so let us know if you have any questions or have feedback.

Thanks,
Cody and Jake
I think you are confusing tax avoidance, which is a perfectly legal strategy with tax evasion, an illegal action. When you make the strategic decision to make a charitable contribution in December in order to pass the threshold for deductibility and thereby reduce your personal taxes, that is legal avoidance. Businesses do the same in order to maximize returns to all stakeholders. There is nothing unscrupulous or immoral in doing so.

Paying taxes is not synonymous with being nice. Filing a business tax return and paying all taxes owed is a legal obligation. Filing a personal return, if you owe taxes, is a personal obligation. If you do not owe taxes, you are not obligated to file a return; however, it is required if you would like to receive the refund you are owed.

There is no legal obligation to run your business in a way that maximizes taxes due to the government and no business operates in such a manner. I seriously doubt you could find many, if any, personal returns where a filer completes their return in a manner to pay the most taxes they can by ignoring legal deductions, credits, etc. Nice has nothing to do with it.

is a clear respect for the fact you're in a 4,000 lbs vehicle

Completely unrelated, but it's interesting to me how deeply the "4000lb. vehicle" meme seems to have embedded itself. I can find plenty of articles backing it up and talking about how cars are so much heavier now, cars are getting heavier, etc.

But I notice a problem: they include SUVs, trucks and "luxury" land-yacht vehicles in that classification as representative of the "average car". Cars intended for broad segments of the market are usually much lighter than this. A Toyota Corolla, for example, weighs 2800lb., the (popular) Ford Fiesta is 2500lb., the Nissan Versa is 2300lb., and even hybrids like the Prius (2500lb.) come in way under the "4000lb." meme.

These are still much heavier than bicycles, of course, but it fascinates me how much people have decided that SUVs, trucks and gigantic luxury cars are "average" and built their memes of car weight around that.
He got on the mainline sexy track for the famous lab he was in, suffered through a seven year postdoc but finally got a faculty position at a mid tier University.
I stopped reading the article on that first paragraph, because they presented a stupid correlation from the kid as creativity.

It's not creativity, it's a correlation. It's logical thinking. It's wrong logic, does it make it better than correct logic?
A big part of the silence is that circumstances of the sinking is that it would challenge the perception of the Navy and military in general.

It's an amazing feat that the wartime was able to run as well and successfully as it did. That said, there were plenty of idiots, drunks and dysfunction all over the place.
Note this chart is actually showing AngularJS (1.x) only. NPM only started exposing stats for @scoped packages recently, so @angular/core (Angular 2+) only has a few months of history.

That what people said about the early growth in windows phones too.

I literally remember standing there listening a microsoft rep tell me that 'When you don't have much market share, there's always room for great growth".

...just saying, you can spin the story however you like, but the fact is that Vue currently has a reasonably insignificant market share.

Beyond that, all we can do is speculate.
That is funny. In no particular order, since college I moved to NYC after living all my life in NH. I circled North America on a bicycle, living outside for 13 months at a time. I moved to Alaska and joined a mountain rescue team, and now I help lead our technical rescue team. I got married and have a kid, and I continue to work with at risk students. Writing a book was a deeply humbling experience as well.

I hope to cross the US by bicycle again when I'm 50 or 60. I want to see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. My guess is more will have stayed the same than changed, once you're out on the road.
Yeah, there seems to be a serious translation problem converting ideas into mechanical action but it's damn satisfying when you finally nail it. I guess the process in itself requires a kind of creativity because how else could we learn something new. So it makes sense it would strengthen the ability as well.
I'm glad you're opening up about what you're going through. It doesn't fix everything overnight, but it is the first major step on the road to recovery. Digital detox definitely sounds like a good idea, especially as it'll help you to break your porn habits.

To be honest, the way you describe your burnout seems very close to depression. I'd echo what simbyotic has suggested, in that it's good to reach out for professional help. Support from family and friends is invaluable, but a therapist you feel comfortable with may help you connect the dots in a more complete way.

I hope you find the digital detox gives you a fresh perspective on how your life can move forward, and helps you start healthier habits. We may not know each other, but I felt empathy reading your story, and I wish you the best of luck with the next chapter.
No, it's not "really true". I summarized the summary, and didn't include all of the details. Here are quotes from the summary which show it isn't only the shoulder involved, but that the shoulder is a key component.

"The shoulder and arm and the rest of the body involved in the throwing motion must be storing elastic energy,"

"Several developments in anatomy allowed humans to throw this way, he said, including a waist that allows twisting and a relatively open shoulder, compared with those of other primates like chimpanzees."

"“You’re storing energy in your shoulder,” Dr. Roach said, ... “It works just like a slingshot would. You’re actually stretching the ligaments.”

"What is new in Dr. Roach’s study, say anatomists, is the idea of the shoulder’s functioning like a slingshot, and tying the specific anatomical changes to the fossil record."

"“I don’t believe that Homo erectus had the broad shoulders that would have given him the ability” to throw the way humans do."

Note that I said nothing about tense vs. relaxed shoulders.

The NYT summary links to the actual paper, which is at http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v498/n7455/full/nature1... . Some quotes from it:

"Here we use experimental studies of humans throwing projectiles to show that our throwing capabilities largely result from several derived anatomical features that enable elastic energy storage and release at the shoulder."

"Throws are powered by rapid, sequential activation of many muscles, starting in the legs and progressing through the hips, torso, shoulder, elbow and wrist. Torques generated at each joint accelerate segmental masses, creating rapid angular movements that accumulate kinetic energy in the projectile until its release. It has been shown that internal (medial) rotation around the long axis of the humerus makes the largest contribution to projectile velocity."

I wasn't sure, so I looked up humerus. Wikipedia says "The humerus ... is a long bone in the arm or forelimb that runs from the shoulder to the elbow."

"Calculations of the maximum power-production capacity of all of the shoulder’s internal rotator muscles indicate that these muscles can contribute, at most, half of the shoulder rotation power generated during the throwing motion"

"We propose that several evolutionarily novel features in the human shoulder help to store and release elastic energy to generate much of the power needed for rapid humeral rotation during human throwing."

Those seem to say that most of the power comes from the shoulder, though the hips and other parts of the body of course play a role.
I'm a technology lawyer. I deal with a fairly high volume of open source licenses and I write a lot of software licenses. I'm also a former developer and still have hobby projects I write mostly in javascript - primarily in Node.

I've read the BSD+Patents licenses. What am I missing? It seems like it is designed to reduce the power of patent trolls and to reduce the power of people who use software written by facebook to sue facebook for patent infringement - which, IMHO - is pretty reasonable, especially given that I think it is an absurdity that software is ever granted patents in the first place (something being rectified, albeit slowly, in the post 'Alice' world).

So, what am I missing? Are there any other actual lawyers who can weigh in on this? Because I see a lot of FUD on here written by a lot of arm-chair lawyers and, when I go to read the licenses (which I do) I'm just not seeing it. I very much believe in evidence and I am always open to counter-arguments - so please, show me the problematic clauses or the problematic exercise of clauses by Facebook.

As of now, all I see is a license (probably written by Goodwin Proctor or Fenwick & West) with a restriction on initiating patent-based litigation - I can live with this. Again - I'm happy to stand corrected.

This sounds like a shitty situation... Can you elaborate on the symptoms of burnout that followed?
And by crap we mean alcohol.
I've been paid to write code in Perl, PHP, Ruby, JS, Go, ObjC, and Java, plus a little C and Python, for going on 15 years. I'm pretty sure I've never written "!!" and I think I could count the times I've seen it used on one hand (maybe never in any codebase I've worked on, but I'm not entirely sure)
How's LFE in comparison? I don't hear as much about it, but I suspect (don't know why), that its closer to Erlang, any comparison with Elixir?
Cool and all, but Blog posts are explicitly in the rules as not "Show HNs"
> Ah, the brand new account created just to push against an antisexist position suddenly has well-developed opinions on the history and the purpose of this website. What a surprise!

I copy and pasted the intent from the welcome tab. "Well-developed?" It took me about 30 seconds.

I've just found out about y-combinator from a coworker fairly recently. I'm looking forward to contributing more, since I am in the technical industry. I hope my future interactions are more interesting and with significantly less assumptions about people and their intents. Speaking of which, instead of making assumptions, you could just ask people questions... but I guess that is too difficult.

> Self-proclaimed "moderates" in hoods are a dime a dozen. If you aren't going to take your words seriously enough to take the minimal step of owning them, there's no reason I should. I can get poorly argued pro-sexist waffle anywhere.

I lean "right" and "left" depending on the issue and your definitions for "right" and "left." Most of the time, my beliefs are rather balanced and not really "right" or "left," but a mixture of both. I don't know what else moderate could mean.

I don't know why you feel "owning my words" matters in a discussion, as you won't discuss it. You've simply thrown out the word "social accountability" without a definition.

This will be my last post to you.

I used Polymer 2 to build a couple of highly used internal web components recently. And I'm currently in the process of ripping it all out. Why? It's not technically Polymer's fault, but the performance and stability on iOS and Safari are complete crap. Often crashes the browser on both desktop and mobile.

Also, the Shadow DOM is one concept that I liked in theory and hated in practice. Made it very difficult to do very simple styling tasks that were accomplished easily with plain css and proper naming (e.g. having parent components provide default styles for child components).

The polymer bundler in 2.0 is a buggy mess (it's still in beta) and I couldn't find any decent way to use Webpack with Polymer.

Many other complaints about Polymer that I won't go into. It's way too green in my opinion and I'd recommend avoiding it for at least the near future.

If you can't fork React then why is it open source? Their license just says you can't sue Facebook for patent infringement. That's it.
Japan Is Selling Ice Cream That Doesn't Melt
But you can't actually get your money, unless you find someone credulous enough to buy these coins for another currency.

The absurd figures both in the growth of BTC over the 2 years (1700% gains!) and the sudden materialisation of value ex nihilo for BCH at 25% the market cap of bitcoin should be a good sign that this market is almost entirely based on speculation and could melt into thin air very soon, though it may well break new records before it does. Anyone getting in to either currency at this point is IMO going to lose their money.

My conclusions aren't from those studies alone, those are just the ones that popped up quickly for a google scholar search. I don't keep an index of all the studies I read so at times it can be hard to find everything that supports a position I've built up over years of scholarly research (not blogs and lay writing).

I tried to connect the dots a bit with some of the biochemistry of why carbohydrates need to be cleared quickly, it can't simplified much past that. What it comes down to is that oxygen atoms make molecules more chemically reactive than other common elements like carbon and nitrogen. This causes "unintended" reactions, which produce molecules the body doesn't know how to handle. These molecules can directly trigger an immune response, or they can be incorporated into other molecules which causes them to malfunction in various ways. Both cases are bad.

It isn't necessarily the inflammation itself that is bad. Rather, it is a sign that something is going wrong with your body. Usually when inflammation is high, either you have something foreign in your body, or your cells are killing themselves for some reason, and immune cells are being activated to "clean up" the debris.
Historically, this approach to addiction has performed poorly. You're not wrong, but this also isn't very useful.

I have found that putting some friction in front of the unconscious "tabbing to timewasting site" habit is really useful while trying to get something done.
So that's what you think cryptocurrencies are doing the better? Improving the VELOCITY OF MONEY?

I've seen that movie quite a few times, but this scene always gets me like its the first.
Jim Ryun ran a 3:55 mile in the 1960s. The world record for the mile 40 years ago in 1977 was 3:49. The high school mile record is 3:53 set in 2001. The HS 800 record of 1:46.45 was set in 1996, which is just slight faster than the world record in 1939.
This is a nostalgic credo among youngsters that are too far into either side of political spectrum: that there was some sort of 'order' or 'grand plan' for the country until the 1980s. Obviously I don't subscribe to that credo.

Let's not forget that local left worships Getúlio Vargas, which was a right-wing dictator and a full-fledged fascist (a true fascist that fortunately was not a Nazi puppet, which made a lot of difference!). Also, the local military regime belonged firmly to the right, but borrowed some ideas from the left (strong presence of the state in economy, auto-sufficiency in manufacturing). Many times the impeached Dilma was compared to General Geisel; they even committed the same errors regarding the economy.

Anyway I am not sure if you want to debate or just calling people liars.

Separation of concerns means put your styles in a <style> tag rather than the style attribute of a tag, and behaviour in a <script> tag rather than in an onclick/onhover/whatever on the tag.

Grouping logically related components together makes perfect sense (and this is coming from a backend Rails dev who thinks the rails directory structure is totally wrong as well).
Article lacks any actual, factual reservations, but rather complains about some code that didn't work a year ago and the code of course has been lost.
I don't get the point of sharing this writeup. I guess author just posted some text he wrote up for a internal company discussion.

Opinions are like buttholes, everone has one.
Facebook can sue anyone for patent infringement whether or not they use React. Many people seem to believe that they can't ever be sued by Facebook for any reason as long as they don't use React although that is not the case.
"The US and europe attacking venezuela..."

Speaking as a Venezuelan, what the bloody hell are you talking about?

"...and blaming their failures on state socialism..."

Venezuela's failures are the failure of state socialism. Price controls, capital controls, expropriations, redistribution policies, central planning, disregard for property rights, and other insane economic policies tanked the country. High oil prices were the only thing hiding the structural damage these policies were creating for years.
jsjohnst- I've posted on my twitter account (@vickerysec) to verify that this is indeed me. Now, please explain the two situations you refer to. I vehemently deny the accusation and would love to know the origin of those false claims.
