I have good and bad(maybe not bad at all) news.

- The good one is that this is a great and already validated idea. There is a plenty space of opportunity in this and it is indeed a missing piece in the AR space. So I would tell you go ahead!

- The bad news(not so bad) is that you have strong competitors: The company I work for(Hologen.io) have this service implemented already. We cover ARKit, ARCore, and Windows Mixed Reality. It still not in production yet but we expect to release in the upcoming months. As I tell my team all the time, the more AR products and ecosystems, the better, so even if we are competitors the proliferation of these systems helps all of us as well, so go for it!

Two different sides of the same coin.
Yeah, many open-plan/cubicle filled places have moved past the product and towards visible effort. I can't count how many stories I've read on HN about how the quiet hard working coder was passed over for a raise in favor of the dumb but verbose coder. Heck, even the founders just need to look good, as is also a common complaint on HN about companies that are all jazz and no drums.
So it seems this is a non issue, except for beta users who need to convert back to HFS+?

I don't see any details, but it would be interesting to know why it wouldn't work with fusion. Is there some feature breaking corner case that arises from some worst case platter latency? Perhaps the crash protection?
Pretty scary thought; makes me think about the Magna Carta and the idea that you couldn't be pulled into a court and charged for things not explicitly spelled out in some body of law that folks could possibly know in advance. In other words administrative bodies could not produce some novel "law" on the spot and charge you with it.

I long to see the day when laws and other civic documents are compiled and evolved in some source control like git or something domain specific for such documents.
I'm going to have to disagree with you. Your average programmer isn't going to be able to write a linked list implementation that is correct, let alone a whole allocator and free mechanism. I've seen enough code by now to be strongly convinced of this and it will take something fairly momentous to get me convinced of the opposite.

They usually have ordinances saying you need to be really away from any one else's structures, at the very least. Way too far for suburbs, generally.
The entire endeavor is unethical, from choosing to raise chickens to slaughtering a parade of mammals. None of this is necessary for the well-being of someone who "spends all her hard-earned money on overpriced coffee and pizza."
That sounds like a reasonable explanation, thank you. And it works!

Now behold all the work I will not be doing today. :v
This is honestly the first time I have looked close at CoffeeScript. At a passing glance, it looks really close to Python with javascript elements added in. Is that a correct assessment? If it is, this might be for me.

My other question is: how nice does coffee script play with other libraries? We (unfortunately) use jQuery a lot. I have also been using underscore and lodash as well. Are those two even needed when writing coffee script? I'm kind of assuming not, since they're both largely just adding methods/functions.

Haha, there's no comparison. The top philosophers are smarter than our Supreme Court Justices. And those are certainly smarter than Carmack.

One year back, I started having back pain. I could not sit for more than 45 minutes. I had tripped over the steps some months back and I was thinking it must be because of that.I went to a Dr and took an x-ray. The diagnosis was that it had nothing to do with the fall , an everything to do with my long working hours. The doctor also advised strengthening my core . He referred me to a physiotherapist , and after 1 month of regular therapy I could now sit for around 3 hours before light pain would start.

I felt ready to start exercising and zeroed in on yoga.
I started practicing with a group of people , led by an instructor. It was very intensive (hatha yoga) and most exercises involved stretching your arms and touching your feet.Other exercises like the bow pose, crow pose and head stand was also there.
Sometimes, while I was sitting and touching my foot, the instructor would use his body weight to push my spine down from behind so that my stomach touched my knees.
This may be the reason , but am not sure.
So, after 3 months of this , I felt better and fitter than ever before and joined another yoga studio near to my home.
Here, the poses were not as tough as the other place, but was done considerably faster.
1 month after joining there, I am bending down to touch my knees , and lightning strikes.I couldn't walk and was bedridden for a week.
The time must have been around 7 pm. I went after work and did some warm ups as usual.

Coming to the reasons, I can think two things : the instructor exerting his force on my spine and the faster pace of the exercising. This is onle conjecture though.

Right now ,after some months of physical therapy and no other exercise, I have no pain while sitting.

I certainly plan to go back to my yoga practice.
However , before I do I need to get some expert advice and some tests done.

I hope this answered all your questions!

Edit:just to be clear, the two reasons I stated are in addition to the main point I made, that some yoga poses are not safe for everyone.

Yes it is possible. It uses the websocket VPN offered by Benjamin Burns (see his blog). The bandwidth is capped to 40 kB/s and at most two connections are allowed per public IP address. Please don't abuse the service.

I mean, for the sake of argument I'd like to entertain that hypothesis. How do you propose to prove it? Or at least show some persuasive evidence.
You can use web components with redux. The implementer of that said "mini cart" can make all the decisions for you, but you will end up with reusable "mini framework" in the end.
Hey! I am sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way. It was definitely not my intention to eulogize Paul Graham unnecessarily. I wrote that out of sincerity, I genuinely feel that his essays have been highly educational for me, and for a lot of my friends as well. Maybe his essays have not had the same effect on you, and a lot of other people. I guess if enough people complain about it, I'd edit that line out of the README, no questions asked.

I'd also like to add that I mentioned, "one of the.." and "pundit[s]" implying that there are many others who'd be in the club, and Paul Graham isn't the only or most influential. Hope that helps!
How is this relevant to the topic? They don't practice the 70 hours, they work.
I don't know — I think many people have an allergic reaction to subscriptions of any kind. (I know I do.) Also, no one service could possibly encompass every blog, project, or publication that one might want to "tip", and people aren't going to subscribe to more than a handful of services at once. (Especially when things like Medium posts are already provided for free.)

Ultimately, I think people are very charitable when it comes to trivial transactions, but not when they're inconvenienced, and so I think it would be best for everyone to make that usability gap as tiny as possible. Even better if you could actually get something for your quarter: stats showing your tip% compared to peers or friends? Different site styles for high tippers? Personal stats tracking your interests over time? Monetized, unskeezy, free-as-in-freedom "likes": lots of possibilities here.
I don't know how they can 'average' the american worker. Due to the obvious attempt to make this article seem relevant to as many readers as possible, I would have found it more interesting if it were a bit more specific.
Of all the thing I would expect the Saudi's to ask Snap to block, Al Jazeera seems pretty far down the list behind nudity. Is nudity effectively blocked on Snap there?

CoffeeScript is javascript. It is just a nicer (in some people's opinion) form of javascript. It added some much needed features a few years back, but with recent JS advances the utility of coffeescript are much less than they used to be.

So invoking jquery and everything is totally 100% supported. In fact that is how I used coffeescript a few years ago.
… and the irresistible temptation to run the printing presses.

Those are all severe misses.
Thats what web components aim to do, take Polymer - you get only minimal library on top of the spec, and with more browsers supporting the standard you just shed the polyfills for missing bits.
It was Georgia state law, two years ago, essentially saying that while you can have the text of the law, you can't have the annotations that inform the interpretation of the law:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/public-records-a...

However, since court decisions about US law are based on prior rulings, the text itself is mostly useless and doesn't actually tell you what the whole law is. It's like an Ikea assembly manual without pictures.

If you did get a job at say AWS you would need to already have a proven skill in the field you want to get into.

If you want to do groundbreaking work in database software then you would need to have already a lot of experience in custom databases.

If you're an outsider coming in you'll most likely be allocated to work on something typical and well understood.

This is a good thing. You have so much to learn at these big companies that you'll be glad you're just modifying CSS or calling some API. Almost all the software you use in Amazon is proprietary. Get ready to relearn everything from scratch.

Once you master the basics and you have an idea of a specific technology you want to contribute to then you go for the transfer.

Eventually if you work hard for many years and don't take anything for granted then you will build groundbreaking tech.
I had an interesting experience in this regard. I was hired by a company who had a small team of developers. When I first arrived it was obvious they had built a culture of "work until you drop". Not because anyone above them was pushing it (at least I don't think so), but they seemed to enjoy "being heroes".

Granted, from my perspective it appeared they needed to be heroes in the first place because they had accumulated so much technical debt they were drowning in it.

I tried silently to change their culture by coming in for 8 hours, doing my job, and leaving on time. I don't know if I was ultimately able to change their mentality, but I certainly turned some heads when they realized that when I was on a project it never sounded like my fingers stopped typing until I would leave for the day. That's the kind of efficiency you can attain when you have work life balance.
It varies by country if it's zero-day credit between banks (before a cutoff time) but i don't think it's legal within the EUR zone to have more than +1 days to credit.

(I think Finland is +0. Germany and France probably not, for various cultural differences ️)
Yeah, Popper is obviously a genius. I know he's regarded as a philosopher of science, but I think that's a bit of a misnomer. I think he's probably somewhere between logic and metaphysics. Carnap, too, is also more of a logician. But, alas, they're both labeled philosophers of science.

You can use vdom, lit-html or hyperhtml to force that (so yes everyone will use their favourite tool I guess, and that is a good thing). But individial components can be shared and reused.
Funny that you mention Breitbart. Their founder Andrew Breitbart claimed that he helped start Huffington Post in an effort to show that mainstream news sources (NY Times etc) actually share most of the views of groups toward the far left, ie the former counterculture.

Was he successful? He certainly convinced most of the people on the right, but they were already on his bandwagon anyway... As someone in the middle, it's looking more and more like he had a point. (Even if the site that bears his name has become.. well, whatever it is, now.)

As long as there's something to gain for an aspiring developer by creating a new framework, there will always be churn as there will always be new frameworks. Rather than reducing churn we should aspire to make it less and less painful to the point of irrelevance.

Some ideas:

Standardization of certain APIs (see the craziness in the Javascript world regarding promises, though that night not even matter with 'async')
Philosophy is hard -- much harder than one would think. And people that contribute are incredibly smart -- far smarter than software engineers, by comparison. On the other hand, it's very political

The part which is political is very relevant.

You might not like this one's politics, but his analysis of the politics of the Weimar Republic is cogent and very relevant to today's American and European politics. (It also applies to the Postmodernist Left.)

Genuine question: What do you think you'll learn from being a support engineer?
"We know that no responsible scientist guesses his formulae but derives them..."

Are you sure about that, Dijkstra? Richard Feynam seems to disagree:

"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s really true. Then we compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare the computation results to nature, or we say compare to experiment or experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works.

If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are who made the guess, or what his name is… If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”

- Richard Feynman
Another anecdote:
I finished high school 26 years ago. I too wrote O'Levels and A'Levels. A few things I can share on the classmates I keep in touch with or am aware of what they are up to. The most successful were not the smartest, smart as in top marks in maths which was the gold standard back then. The sentiment you expressed sometimes works in the opposite direction. Because my classmates knew they weren't the smartest, the worked harder in university and in life in general. Hence their success. The smart kids all "made it" but the not so smart kids 26 years later are much better off.

Over the course of 3 months (the last month had a whole 30 streams, so mostly ignoring it):

2 albums and 42 songs sold - $57.42

4.3 million songs streamed - $5077.87

The real take-away: All that streaming isn't translating into digital album/song sales.

I don't understand what Snap gets out of this.

Is it really worth it for them to be dismissed by the free-world as a totalitarian sycophant in exchange for whatever drop-in-the-bucket marketshare they get from Saudi Arabia?

What does it mean to not comply with local laws in Saudi Arabia? A ban for Snapchat in that country? BFD!
Asking for a loan or credit is the quickest route into these credit rating agency's databases. But their goal is to catalog and rate everyone, so you eventually get in there whether you ask for money or not.
You prove my point. Article 107 says nothing about tax at all. The EU's case depends on a bizarre redefinition of taxation as "aid", as if taking something away is the same thing as giving it. Article 107 is meant to handle subsidies, hence the discussion of granting things through state resources.

Obviously, nobody told the Irish people that their nation's tax decisions might be retroactively re-classified as "aid" ... and nobody told them that because they were explicitly told that tax was not an EU competency.

There's really no way around that outcome. Regardless of how the EU likes to reinterpret the treaties to grant it newfound powers nobody thought it had, the people of Ireland know what they were promised and know that it's been violated.
I mean, I have used Giropay and SOFORT, both of which have been always confirmed instantly with relatively low fees (about 2% for my purchases, tho I'm not certain how that scales for sub-10€ purchases).
I loved CoffeeScript, but I felt it was a double edged sword.

I would still use it though, if there were JSX style xml/html tags. But React changed everything for me and as a full stack dev, I can use only few frameworks on one level.

Edit: Ok, JSX is now supported. http://coffeescript.org/v2/#jsx

And I'm glad they broke the different behaviour of =>. It might need a fix in a lot of code bases, but this price is cheaper than having the mental burden of it.

It uses a proxy. JSLinux emulates a network device and sends ethernet frames to a proxy via websockets. The proxy sends these frames to a Linux TAP device. The rest is a decent firewall configuration.

You might even be able to connect to another emulated JSLinux machine if you know that IP address.

One way to test a market quicker is to do something that clearly doesn't scale but could simulate a technology. For example, if you were testing the market for GPS, but didn't want to launch any satellites, you could have a helicopter follow each test user, radio their position to a ground station, and have that ground station issue turn by turn directions. Too expensive to scale, but cheaper than launching GPS and then finding out that nobody wanted it.
I'm getting this error upon trying to create a team:

"Controlling and manipulating quanta of coherent acoustic vibrations—phonons—in integrated circuits has recently drawn a lot of attention, since phonons can function as unique links between radiofrequency and optical signals, allow access to quantum regimes and offer advanced signal processing capabilities. Recent approaches based on optomechanical resonators have achieved impressive quality factors allowing for storage of optical signals. However, so far these techniques have been limited in bandwidth and are incompatible with multi-wavelength operation. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a coherent buffer in an integrated planar optical waveguide by transferring the optical information coherently to an acoustic hypersound wave. Optical information is extracted using the reverse process. These hypersound phonons have similar wavelengths as the optical photons but travel at five orders of magnitude lower velocity. We demonstrate the storage of phase and amplitude of optical information with gigahertz bandwidth and show operation at separate wavelengths with negligible cross-talk."

Definitely don't follow this!
I'd argue factors that push such details out would overrule that worry. When there are three companies with the sort of power that credit ratings hold over people society is already suffering.

The people need to reign in the corporate interests of the world. Companies are already larger and more powerful than governments. People should be freaking out. This event just underscores that need.
