I don't see any advantage on chat, who is using this in a company? it's not serious people don't know how to use it and they don't focus on work but chatting instead. Lost of time, lost of productivity. Don't want do a service request? yeah write me an Skype message instead... it will increase my work rate and put value in the business.
I find having your current dir on the prompt wastes way too much space since it is duplicated on every line. Just put it in the window title bar.
Hey majewsky, of course I'm a co-founder and I'm looking for people interested in building on raspi!

I'm sorry to see you think this is spam, but I mostly comment on the posts that we have sent on HN, or on posts about Raspberry Pi to let people know about the platform

I think I mostly do about one comment per week, so I don't feel like spamming exactly :)

I take your point and I will state my affiliation clearly next time, thanks!
Apple maps is "ok" here (Czech Republic) but there's really no reason to use it, mapy.cz and Google Maps have everything Apple does but also things like transit stops, more businesses (mapy even has building numbers and cycle routes) and it also tends to be slightly more accurate.

Here's a comparison of the three on my current location because I'm bored waiting on something:

Apple Maps also has this nice button to direct you to the nearest gas station. Unfortunately it doesn't know all gas stations so in Switzerland you'll get results that are too far away, when the next station would be just nearby.

While I see some of the concerns about the _technicality_ of the law as completely legitimate, it still bothers me that so many people reject the whole spirit of this law, and cannot put the negative of "tax on startups" against the much greater good of personal privacy.

I've just started a business myself, and this regulation affects my company too. It makes development costlier; it'll take from the precious little time we have to spend on compliance paperwork rather than work on our core business. In the short run, it does hurt our chances of success.

Yet, none of the trouble is even comparable to what's to be gained here. And it bothers me (though doesn't surprise me) that some people don't see that.

It also bothers me that such vocal opposition barely comes up when the discussion is just about bigger companies such as Google and Facebook. How can we expect "un-evilness" from bigger companies when we're barely willing to do anything in that regard ourselves?

I find that in richer countries with more iPhones, Apple Maps is on par with Google Maps. But in places with fewer iPhones, it can go a bit haywire.

Here's a couple of Apple/Google maps comparisons I've noticed and taken screenshots off. First one in San Andres (Colombia), second in East Jerusalem. http://imgur.com/a/QgnS3

I also noticed that Apple Maps would translate street names, in lots of Colombian countries, streets are laid out in a grid. With the streets that go east to west called "Calles", and north to south called "Carreras" (i.e. Calle 69 con carrera 4).

Apple maps would translate these to be called Street 69 and Road 4.

So _that's_ how Bernie can still win? I knew it!
100% this. Geocoding is the real weak spot in Apple Maps. (Though it's getting slowly better. Siri successfully navigated me to Brize Norton village the other day, where previously it had refused to associate the name with anything other than the RAF Brize Norton airbase.)
Really? You managed to determine if the people running the FB page were actually entities in control of or authorized by that 501(c)3 to engage in fundraising activities using their name? You were able to ensure that the destination for funds was legit and the collection process didn't violate some obscure FB term of service? You are truly a wizard to be able to do that in about 1 minute, you should get Facebook to hire you...
I occasionally use Apple Maps while driving because of the nice integration. But then you can't see the current song anymore! Is anyone at Apple using this??? I can't believe they didn't consider this and use a small portion of the screen to show the current song and allow prev/next/play|pause.
I use sentimental analysis over some content + other factors, when it hits some threshold, I trade it myself.

I don't automate it also because I'm not looking for very short trade movements, but more like in periods of 8 hours. So I either buy or sell my complete position in the coin, generally operating 2-3 coins.

I've tried trading with a bot with this system, created by myself, but I've found out that it's better to set up a trade with a stop, use the criteria of whether using a coin or the other and just sell it after a few hours, as hype usually lasts for a couple of hours as news travel fast, so do people start selling off early. You generally want to analyse it yourself how much hype there is.

Note that I don't believe in cryptocoins as they are, for me they are bullshit without a business model or intrinsic value, but some clueless people think they are "investing" on it, so I'm there to make profit out of their lack of knowledge.

With 3-4 trades a day, there's much window to make like 10% a day, even though it sounds crazy, some coins got some big volatility.

Also, some days I stay out of the market, based on my criteria. Some days things will just go generally down after sometimes after weeks of gains. It's better to stay out with your money than in the game to lose.
> they can't even start families?

You say that like it's a bad thing. Humanity is a plague, we breed uncontrolled and our population keeps growing and growing. There is no need for anyone to start a family, there is no shortage of humans.
Yes, haha. For a story like this to be relevant to the general public, it needs unique elements and not just "startup launches slack competitor".

I was travelling recently in Russia and Asia for a few months. My impression was that Google Maps is in general by magnitudes better and more helpful than Apple Maps.

It depends a bit on the country though as for some countries Google does not own the Map data and services are limited, i.e. in China and also Japan afaik.

OpenStreetMap is usually a good alternative especially if you are not able to read local languages. Otherwise you'll be fine with local versions such as baidu maps, etc.
Isn't that what GP is saying though? Cars and bikes are superior to running in the fact that they take you to the destination faster. But a person running everywhere will undoubtedly have better development of their leg muscles than a person driving around (assuming no other physical activity). So, at least in the context of leg muscle development, running is superior to cars and bikes.
I've seen researchers trying different statistical tests until they get a "significant" result. I was a bit shocked; it's essentially unobjective and dishonest. The other one was removal of "obvious outliers" which is equally unobjective. It's part of the distribution of your data whether you like it or not. Add more replicates or do a better experiment, but don't manipulate the data and/or use inappropriate tests when the best one for your data gives you a P-value you don't like.
I started trading just recently with smaller amounts. Basically what I do is really stupid and not technical at all, but it works: I lurk in various chat rooms where people discuss and alert which coin started "pumping" and what's hot right now. Then I go and check the graph for that coin and try to estimate if it will grow more. I also look for popular coins that fell low after initial high. Then I buy them and immediately set a sell order in the exchange to automatically sell them when the price rises to a certain point, to earn a couple percent of my trade investment. Then, the most important part - I forget about this. I just wait until the sell orders are cleared out, it usually takes a couple of days or weeks. This way I'm earning around $200 per week. Of course, all is correlated with the price of BTC. If it drops I'll be at loss :)

Sorry to object, but: Switzerland is a rich country with more iPhones then Android phones (until recently that is). Apple Maps is definitely not on par with Google Maps here.

THAT is the harm. That's my point. You can't sue someone for something that abstractly maybe implies something else. You sue for damages and have to show damages.

Alongside the obvious choice of Tufte, I can recommend Bertin's "Semiology of Graphics" and "Graphics And Graphics Information Processing" as good reads about this kind of graphical representation of data (I prefer GAGIP, personally.)
I've switched from Google maps to Apple maps as of about 6 months ago, I find that in Melbourne (Australia) recent street changes seem to be updated more frequently on Apple maps, I also find the app to use less battery. I'm sure it differs city (or maybe country) by country.
Does slack really enable good collaboration? It seems to destroy productivity in every environment I've ever been in. It is the workplace equivalent of Facebook shitposting.

Also, IRC and XMPP servers are cheap.
Sorry, this comes across as ... really ignorant. Of course there is a need. Some people have to make the decision whether to breast feed or not (e.g. because of medication the mother is taking) and ideally they need this kind of information to make an informed decision.
I switched from Android few months back. Tried Apple Maps and it was awful and lost me on several occassions. Maybe it is where I am located. I stay at Johannesburg, South Africa. Google Maps is always up to date where I stay and closed streets are updated. Google Maps always avoid roads which are under constructions. With Apple Maps, it is not the case. Decided to stick to Google Maps. I will try Apple Maps in 2-3 years.
Yes, but I thought it was worth mentioning for people who might not be able to imagine why anyone would seriously want to mail bees in the first place.
xiphmont's primary goal appears to be to stop Neil Young from selling 24/192 audio to the general public; that's why he called the page neil-young.html. Sure, few buyers have the ears or equipment to pursue anything beyond the compact disc.

The problem is that many readers of neil-young.html will come away thinking they understand human hearing and digital sampling, when in fact the article is far too sparse on details to understand either; there is no discussion of how sounds are located in 3D space, or of how phase information is recovered. It is amazing that you can completely cover one ear, rub your fingers together behind your head and precisely pinpoint where your fingers are. It is also amazing that "Sampling doesn't affect frequency response or phase" but xiphmont doesn't explain this at all.

And then there's this lovely quote:

"It's true enough that a properly encoded Ogg file (or MP3, or AAC file) will be indistinguishable from the original at a moderate bitrate."

which is provably wrong. I can very reliably pick the uncompressed WAV each try when compared against 320kbps MP3.

My attitude is in support of furthering research in the area of live sound reproduction. As I've said, we are VERY far away right now. It is foolish to believe we understand human musical perception completely today. We cannot even replicate a simple cymbal strike with today's recording and playback technology.

I would encourage the curious to stand in the center of an outdoor arc of 100 horn players, like this (feel free to skip first 48 seconds):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EDIDCdy5Es

Once you experience that live, try to figure out how to replicate the input to your two ears. You can't, without 100 brass players.

Interestingly, these two examples of trumpet and cymbal have significant ultrasonic frequency content:

I don't believe it's a coincidence.

Surely it depends on the health and diet of the mother. My understanding is that there is little benefit to breast milk over formula unless water supplies are poor quality and definitely formula is better when the mother is malnourished.
The article sounds like the billionaire brothers are taking on SpaceX rather than Slack. There are tons of other Slack alternatives.

GCM is hard to implement. If I were to use one AEAD scheme that I would have to implement myself, I would definitely not use GCM.

I whatever I was developing was open source (any project under an OSI-approved license gets a patent grant), I would use OCB mode, which is not only quite easy to get right, but also friggin fast.

But hey: Don't trust me. Trust Matthew D Green:

> GCM. Galois Counter Mode has quietly become the most popular AE(AD) mode in the field today, despite the fact that everyone hates it. The popularity is due in part to the fact that GCM is extremely fast, but mostly it’s because the mode is patent-free. GCM is ‘on-line’ and can be parallelized, and (best): recent versions of OpenSSL and Crypto++ provide good implementations, mostly because it’s now supported as a TLS ciphersuite. As a side benefit, GCM will occasionally visit your house and fix broken appliances.

> Given all these great features, you might ask: why does everyone hate GCM? In truth, the only people who hate GCM are those who’ve had to implement it. You see, GCM is CTR mode encryption with the addition of a Carter-Wegman MAC set in a Galois field. If you just went ‘sfjshhuh?’, you now understand what I’m talking about. Implementing GCM is a hassle in a way that most other AEADs are not. But if you have someone else’s implementation — say OpenSSL’s — it’s a perfectly lovely mode.

Apple maps are useless compared to Yandex or Google maps.
I use Apple Maps pretty regularly since I have a car with CarPlay. Most of the time, it works fine. But for trips in heavy traffic, I always turn to Google Maps to find the best route. I'm considering getting an Android phone as my next phone just to have Android Auto. Is Google Maps missing in CarPlay because Apple doesn't want to allow it or because Google doesn't want to provide it?
No, that's just how bad Trump is. Folks would gladly take Pence over him. Nobody has any pretense the election or primaries will be getting a do-over.
I use Google Maps for their biking routes which seem to work pretty well.

No bike routing on Apple Maps.

Evolution primarily serves the population, not the individual. Mother cats reject their runts, for instance. That's bad for the kitten - kills it but benefits the rest of them.

We tend to care about the individual more than the population, so we treat sick children instead of letting them die. Since nature isn't always helping, maybe natural food isn't always the best option.
I suspect you strongly misunderstand what humanities provide: a rounding out of one's expertise and an appreciation of the qualitative world.

Yet Google decides, sadly for us, not to use that as enforcement for the updates.

Comparing Slack to WhatsApp or Discord seems disingenuous. For an employee, that means adding every other user in your company. And what about integrations? With slack it's easy to send messages to channels with an HTTP request, which (for me) replaces email spam.

Also, Slack has a free plan, so Slack is free.
Definitely, though the Zork 3 message still sounds like such a better way of letting you know what's happening.
So how do you deal with UI containers that don't really care about most of the state, but still need to pass it on to their child components?

It sounds like tracking this by hand ("what is needed where") could get messy, though I don't have experience with this approach.
Even if you take it as a given that it has a positive impact, it's useful to study to better understand the scale of the impact. When evaluating multiple interventions and not having the resources to do all of them, it's useful for policy makers to better understand the cost/benefit analysis and make informed decisions.

The biggest issue that I (being in Melbourne, Australia) have with Apple Maps is that it is incredibly slow. It was barely usable because of the speed on my iPhone (even on 4G) before I removed the app, and is pretty much unusable on my Macbook. I’m talking up to a minute before an actual map would display, and often up to 30 seconds when zooming in. I know quite a few other people have the same problem - even the Macs in the nearby Apple Store take ages to load anything. I can only assume that Apple doesn’t have a data centre in Australia or south-east Asia that serves the Maps app.

Google Maps is pretty reliable. I do use it a lot for walking though, and there are some issues in that department: strange routes, especially if there isn’t a road nearby, often useless time estimations, etc. Plus up until recently public transport wasn’t supported in Melbourne (but was on Apple Maps), which was a pain. Public transport support still isn’t 100%. My main qualm is that the web version drains my laptop’s battery at an alarmingly quick rate - and on my phone it certainly doesn’t help battery life either.

OpenStreetMap’s data is far superior to both Apple Maps and Google Maps in my experience - the only problem is that not being commercial means that search and routing are pretty much useless. I would happily use an app that offered all the features of Google Maps but used Mapbox tiles (and gave me a choice of map style).

It seems to have a real blind spot about "things" - almost like you have to get the exact rendering of the name they have because there's no semantic labelling.

e.g. "X station" often wouldn't find "X train station" or "X underground station"; same for "X tube" in London (although both of these have improved for me on 11b8.)

We also used to use IRC, but then after realising that we wanted some of the features of Slack (a persistent, searchable log of messages for example), so we went and developed such an application that had all the features we needed. It even has some features that Slack still don't have, even though they have hundreds of developers and we were two guys working on the evenings.

We also released it fully open source.

Software Wizard Quiz: The Problem of Binary Gap
You needn't look too far within the realm of social sciences to find jargon being used to convey precise nuance:

liberal democracy versus illiberal democracy

majoritarian electoral system versus a consociational electoral system

Complain all you want about the comparative politics branch of political science being descriptive, but its qualitative analysis does offer a useful framework for reasoning with the world and its outcomes.
The top level comment I replied to went on the political discourse and I just carried on from there. Did he get a warning as well?

Personally I'd be happy to have less political HN. But as long as there're top level political comments.. It's too hard to resist :) I believe mods could easily mega-downvote such comments. Yet particular comment I replied to seem to be upvoted?

As for my later comment, are jokes not allowed on HN anymore? I got grammar-nazi'd, I replied back with a matching joke.

IRC is by far and away my favorite method of communication. I'm only 25 so it's not because of a sense of nostalgia.

IRC in general is such an under-used resource. Everyone automatically goes to SO, which is fine for trivial problems. They don't realise they could go on IRC and get an answer from the actual dev team of whatever they are having issues with.
