Rich structured editors free one from text and are able to encode other information that is not currently recorded in text formats. Directly operating on structures would free languages from parsing, correctness checking and compiling could occur at every semantically correct operation.

With a rich structure editor that can do merges, the undo history of edit and refactor operations could be persisted and merged into the VCS. Currently this isn't possible. Text is a projection for the page and a lowest common format.
I definitely can't lift while in a fasted state, I simply can't produce a burst of energy. I find running to be easier as it just requires some steady state energy output and Glycogen stores tend to be good enough for steady state.

I still like I'm about to faint both times though.
I have an HSBC account because at the time I moved to the Uk (2004) they had a mechanism in place so you could set it up as part of the application process. I don't remember the details but it was standard for everyone to just do it all before leaving NZ.

I bet a lot of people are in a similar position. Not that I really use the account now, I have a far happier time in my Barclays account. I actually have a real hate for HSBC.

There were Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, Debian, Slackware, and dozens of others then too. Software still switched its method of configuration between versions, and distros still had their own incompatible ways of doing things. Linux was farther from mainstream, StackExchange didn't exist, Google wasn't as good, and Linux in general was less polished (and required more manual intervention to get things going).
You can still (and will most likely be able forever) play audio in the background on Safari for iOS by intercepting the calls to the JS Page Visibility API with a scriptlet.
This is also my first thought when people say "Well, nobody wants to move to the Bay area anymore, everybody's leaving". Well, why is the rent still so high?
Summary: Google suspends AdWords campaigns of Vivaldi Browser after Vivaldi CEO wrote an anti-Google article
I want to keep seeing more studies like this. I meet many people that say you need to eat a "balanced" diet, however, they can never backup any claim on what it means to be balanced. We have established the necessary conditions for a balanced diet: you must eat essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. Surprisingly carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient![1]

Our bodies can survive on vastly different allocations of the three macronutrients. What percentage of calories should come from each? Obtaining most of your calories from carbohydrates can lead to metabolic disorder/insulin resistance/diabetes in many people. Obtaining most of your calories from protein can be damaging to the kidneys.[2] The research on eating too much fat is all over the place and does not seem to have a solid conclusion. Studies like the one in this article indicate that the previously theorized risks of increased heart disease risk are overblown.

I'm sure the real answer may be much more complicated than macronutrient composition, however, it would be at least a starting place for judging if a diet is "balanced" at a high level.

I used to write with a fountain pen a lot, they're really nice to write with. Most of my writing now is math though, and I've found that fountain pens aren't the best for that. I really like the Sakura Pigma Micron pens though. I think that they're made for artists, but I've found them really nice as a general pen. I specifically get the 05.
I'm a little bit dumber today for reading this headline.

You stuff looks really impressive but any page that starts with "10x more interactive than ..." and "10x more extensible than ..." makes me want to click away because I'm clearly being told nonsense.

If you've actually done the research to back up those claims, by all means, include them and cite the research, otherwise please don't make up statistics and think it will improve how we think about your work.

Your video is impressive, your work is impressive. You don't need to make up statistics to get people to understand that.
I agree ththat just because a startup CEO is doing something doesn't mean you should, but that aside, fasting can can be very beneficial.

You inadvertently starved yourself, does this mean you practised fasting or you had had an eating disorder? In any case sorry if you were hurt by it, but others can feel really good from it.
With the increasing number of the middle class including full-time workers becoming homeless (especially now in Houston) some homeful people would be best to become less rejecting of the homeless and/or mentally affected who lost traction before them. Especially in such a case where it's so obvious that there but for the grace of god they go.

Regardless of natural disaster or not, the prevailing cutoff line is coming after your low six-figure income, since there's not much foundation remaining below that level.

If you are providing shelter or a more extensive domestic environment those are not functionally very much like six significant figures anyway, but you knew that.
Lamy make pretty nice fountain pens. I have a Lamy 2000 (my go to fountain pen) and a Lamy Dialog (I think; the one with the retractable nib, which is a neat trick).
No it's not a trick question. Tax fraud investigation relies on bank cooperation. Bitcoin doesn't cooperate with anybody. They can make toothless voluntary requests though.

More likely society evolves in the face of bitcoin to integrate or at least mitigate it rather than fight it, just like music delivery is chiefly now by streaming subscription services rather than album sales.

At the moment banking is a total disaster. Personal accounts, under KYC disguise, are being questioned on "suspicious" £2-3k transactions sent between family members. Banks fraud altering systems are so inconceivably dumb, that they can't recognize two persons both having bank accounts at their same institution, both living on the same address as being part of a household, not to bother questioning them why they send cash to each other.(Lloyds Bank, UK).

Business banking is getting totally destroyed by fanatical and full of nonsense administration of KYC regulations, where banks want to verify not only the invoices and reasons for every transaction, but the underlying composition of every amount and how it was earned and why. And why the sum earned is higher, than what they think it should be. Their reviews of business models and revenue generation processes is more strict and intruding, than the figures some investors consider enough to provide business with funding.(Rietumu bank, Latvia).

At the same time many large European banks are losing their ability to transact in USD, after bank-correspondents are leaving them (Deutsche bank). SEPA transfers in EUR is what is left for many businesses as they are cut from making any international payments in non-EUR currency.

The situation is beyond worrying. I hope there are some sane banks left. Possibly smaller banks, friendly to online businesses, who realize that when you receive affiliate payments from Booking.com NV, you are not laundering money and it would be totally moronic to questions those transfers. Please comment if you can recommend such.
I think remote work increasing in viability & popularity will continue pushing this trend over time. Many people who work in software and other computer-centric jobs (myself included) no longer feel pressure to live central to a big city for work anymore.
Why does it sound like that to you? I've seen no evidence that the majority in this thread arguing against the ban have revealed that scamming people out of their money is their ultimate motivation. Assuming bad faith based on cartoonish ideological stereotypes is not fair.

>We could have an incredibly fulfilling life while living frugally.

And we could also live frugally while appreciating things of beauty and craft like those pens. I know people who don't have a car (and aren't rich) but chose to spend $5000 on art, or such things.

>Writing books, making art, creating new software, doing research, etc.

Well, if you have the money -- even enough to live with--, what would be the need of this frenetic activity? Writing books, making art, doing research etc?

This seems vain too, in the "me, me, me, I should put my name out there, be known in the future, etc" sense. It's only that certain civilizations haven't been trained to recognize this as vein. What if you don't create anything? Who said people have to? Why not just enjoy life? Work if you have to, have fun with friends and family, have some nice food and drink, walk, etc.

This has become a tendency in many web sites from some time now. I dislike it too, it's a pain in the ass. I sometimes have to select some text with the mouse so that it goes into reverse video so that I can read it easier. (Downvoted HN comments are a good example, but in the case of HN, low contrast is not the norm, except for comment headers.) Not sure what's the exact reason for this trend. Some ideas:

- someone started it off, maybe a so-called high-profile designer, and others blindly copied it. [1] Designer doesn't necessarily mean an individual one. It could be for example Twitter Bootstrap that was copied, since I know that a lot of web sites use it.

[1] Blind copying (without regard to appropriateness) is a common trend in some people since probably the start of mankind. Not sure much can done about it. People have to learn for themselves that they need to think for themselves.

- the monitors of the people creating these low-contrast sites may be very high resolution and/or high brightness, so the low-contrast still is readable to them.

- could be it is an example of what I call (just made up the term) the C++ syndrome, where newbie C++ developers use C++ language features liberally and where not required, or where they may not make sense, just because they can do it, or sometimes just to get to apply it and learn about it (which should not be allowed by any good project managers in production software, just tell them to play in a sandbox they create). Though I called it the C++ syndrome, it is equally visible in other languages and stacks.

I think in many places, gas peakers are already available. In the long run, we're probably going to need to do something else, but who knows where storage tech is in twenty years?

In Denmark, home of the biggest wind power companies, this is a frequent topic of discussion among people interested in energy, but the answer is really that there are many options on the table, including expanding the grid. While many options are too expensive to see much use today, that will probably change over years.

New ideas are also coming up, e.g. this

http://www.salon.com/2017/08/09/alphabet-turns-to-molten-sal...

which might work except they should just store the heat in rocks instead of molten salt which is a PITA to work with. I know of at least two independent designs (both Danish) that store the heat in a huge repository of insulated rock/dirt and use a turbine to get electricity back out, at an efficiency about 40-45% IIRC. A prototype plant recently received funding. Not sure it has reached the international press yet. I don't think it has much future in Denmark, though, there's plenty of hydro in Scandinavia.
I checked my shopping for this week, we spent 54.35 on food for two for the week (well, 6 dinners, and 7 breakfast/lunches). We also had £6.10 of that on toiletries this week, so 48.25 on food. Our breakdown is: £20 on dinner for 6 nights, £10 on lunches for both of us for 7 days, and breakfast is £12 for 7 days. There's a bit of a crossover between the breakfast and lunches in there, as there's yogurt, fruit, beans and bread in there, that servers as parts of two meals. We also have £7 on snacks/luxuries (chocolate)

At non-negligible losses. (Expected about 10% for the whole system.) Not to mention maintenance of such long cable will be real hard, so redundancy is needed. (For comparison, check costs on much easier and cheaper transatlantic fibre cables.) And of course a facility placed further of the shore is harder to maintain as well.

The story is about the particulars, not about what class of economic products it is.
What this article doesn't mention is that while in some cities like SF, where rents are astronomically high, there's a huge influx of tech workers whose compensations are also relatively high. That coupled with not wanting to deal with traffic as well as younger generation of workers attracted to the city scene results in more and more people crowding into the city. The increase in development of high rise residential is also supportive of the urban revival (cultural, generational, financial) and demand in SF.
Exploit could be from dependant libraries or os related..
For what it's worth

1, drop the hourly rate, all you do is price yourself out of work. As an example, a great programmer can do it in 1 hour, a medium programmer can do it in 2 hours, an average one can do it in 3 hours etc. So the better you are, the less you actually get paid. Obviously you can raise your prices to compensate but then people will just go to a cheaper developer and probably end up paying more without realising it. So drop the hourly rate.

2, isolate yourself from the clients, coding is fun, clients are hell. Get a sales person in to do that stuff for you.
Very nice. Good planning.
Sure, now looking at property rights where it comes to land, if I want to set up house in your wheat field, and you stop me, are you not impinging on my freedom?
>OK, but the algebra of complex numbers is so much easier than trig -- less to memorize -- that I think it must be inertia that's keeping our trig courses around, not inherently better pedagogy.

Let's not forget the geometric aspect of trigonometry, which will be more intuitive to many than complex numbers. I have a force of 10N applied at an angle of 32 degrees. I need the x-component. You still need basic trigonometry.

They use them:

a) to improve page load times by serving resources the user's browser may have already cached

b) to serve ads

c) to track usage so that they can optimize advertising and conversions

d) in some cases, to implement A/B testing experiments without having to hard-code them into the site

The downsides you mention are pretty minimal. For the vast majority of sites:

a) NoScript users are a teensy minority so small as to be statistically insignificant

and

b) the site is FAR more likely to have downtime of its own infrastructure than for Google or Facebook or whatever other CDN to go down.
In fact I now have started dumping such sites as much as possible - unless they are essential, I stop visiting them.
Fuck them. Move on. You are perpetuating this mess.

Businesses do periodically change banks or account numbers if their account has been compromised by fraud. (This recently happened to my family's business bank account...
fraudulent checks were produced - so we created a new checking account.)

You can re-automate all your payments within a day or two on your new account with your NEW BANK. The silver lining is you can assess all these monthly charges - and possibly cut some unneeded services - or upgrade some which you would benefit from.

MOST IMPORTANTLY - Find a bank that is headquartered locally - so you can go see the people who work at the bank occasionally - build relationships - and avoid this type of abuse. If the local bank is sold to a bigger bank - jump ship again.

This sounds like a toxic business relationship and your only TEMPORARY loss is the cash they are holding in your account. You should have access to emergency funds in another bank account - and if you don't - learn that lesson now.

You are ultimately responsible for everything and service providers are just that - service providers. Learn to fire and hire them as often as needed.

Sweden has a much longer history with large immigration than just the 'recent influx' by which I assume you mean post-Libya immigration.

Many areas in Sweden have begun to face serious problems with having enough manpower to deal with crime. I know the video I posted was a bit shabby but they were discussing exactly that.

I think it's great that some countries are trying to make mass immigration work as it can be an example for the rest of us. I just don't think it's as clear cut as "This is good! This is good! This is good!" as there can be many reasons why Sweden still tops the EU rape rates and why the numbers may have decreased in recent years.

For me this has the opposite of the intended effect. It makes it really clear that almost everything was invented by men (except the few things mentioned in the story).
As a scientist, astronomer and professional software engineer, I have to say the grandparent is spot on. I've untangled a lot of really, really bad science code. I've seen the gamut too, having worked in high powered computing on many different models across many different fields. In general the code is just terrible, but it gets the job done. Just not efficiently or sometimes accurately (bugs abound).
> The actual worst case scenario is someone gets a reverse mortgage from the bank to pay property tax with equity from the home, and they end up bequeathing a smaller proportion of wealth to their heirs when they pass.

In other words, a permanent and widespread subsidy that enriches the banking industry at the expense of the public. Don't we have enough of those already?
