Here is the founding team from crunchbase:

Erik Byargeon, Lucas McGartland, Lukas Huberman, Andrew Ullmann . Three of those guys are not technical.

Erik Byargeon was an intern at Amazon.

So I am not sure how you are going to mentored by top Amazon Engineers. It also doesn't look like their site has much traction so I don't know how the stock is worth anything.

I guess you fake it until you make it.
Thanks for checking it out!

Pen and paper was our original plan as well, but I wanted to be able to aggregate and graph information easily.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some TZ issues. I'm still fairly new to Django and had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around its TZ handling at first. I probably need to revisit some of the earlier commits.
Aside: it's been a while since I've used google's translation service. If I hadn't seen "translate.google.com" in the HN headline I think I'd have assumed that this was written originally in English. There are a couple of non-idiomatic translations that I would've attributed to "probably written by a non-native speaker."

I've never used translate.google.com for Portuguese before, so it's possible that they do better on this language than others. But in any case, it's worth some praise for a superior service. Well done, GOOG.

Nice! I didn't check it out on mobile.

I'm incredibly impressed, btw, that you're working on something like this with a newborn. The month before and after birth, I was basically dead to the world. Kudos to you and her!

"Error Launching activity" depends a lot on the device. For example it happens a lot for me on a Moto G3 but rarely on HTC.

Are slow builds AS-specific? I think it's more related to the Android build ecosystem and not the IDE.
This part makes me think that, after consensus is reached for the first X transactions, that's effectively like a Ripple blockchain. Except with no central validators:

Imagine a cryptocurrency, where each transaction is a statement "transfer X coins from wallet Y to wallet Z". At some point, the community will reach a consensus on the exact ordering of the first 100 transactions. At that time, each member of the community can calculate exactly how many coins are in each wallet after processing those 100 transactions (in the consensus order), before processing transaction number 101. They will therefore agree on the "state", which is the list of amounts of coins in all the non-empty wallets. Each of them digitally signs that state. They gossip their signatures. So then each member will end up having a copy of the state along with the signatures from most of the community. This combination of the state and list of signatures is something that mathematically proves exactly how much money everyone had after transaction 100. It proves it in a way that is transferrable: a member could show this to a court of law, to prove that Alice had 10 coins after transaction 100 and before transaction 101.
With all due respect, the justice department probably got the subpoena to cover all their bases. Regardless of why, I don't think there is any right of privacy through Twitter. It's a private company. If they want to hand over Ken White's identity, without a subpoena, they can.
I don't know which devices you have used, but that's simply not true in my experience.

Mind you, I have sworn off Samsung, since their TouchWiz has indeed been a laggy mess in the past. But in my experience over the years with HTC, Sony, Moto, or most recently Nokia, text input is fine. (And definitely less laggy than on my - admittedly old - iPad 3.)
I'm afraid I'm nowhere near competent enough in browser technology to comment on the comparison, sorry.
I feel this is less on Jetbrain's IDE and more on the Android environment.

That also includes this gem:

"* As an aside, look closely at that criminal complaint against Shafer. I have no idea why but it appears that the FBI/DOJ is so clueless that rather than submitting the final complaint, they actually submitted the copy showing the "comments" on the Word doc they were using to prepare the complaint -- which shows two comments that both suggest the FBI is well aware that this complaint is weak sauce and probably doesn't meet the standard under the law... but this story is crazy enough without spending too much time on that."
yes, that's true again!

"Pardon him, Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature." - George Bernard Shaw, "Ceasar and Cleopatra"

I regard that as a caution that just because I think something is reasonable, it doesn't mean that others will think the same. My sense of reasonableness is based on many things, including being part of a culture where it's cheap to record, store, and redistribute sound, and which regards anything old as being part of the public domain and therefore unrestricted.

Modern informed consent has a much higher standard than the consent of 100 years ago. For one, it's not just consent about the process of making a recording but informed consent about the larger consequences of doing so.

The people who were recorded likely knew their speech was being recorded for future scientific research. However, consider the technology of the time. The recording was onto wax cylinder, so it could only be played a few hundred times before being worn out. This limited the total number of people who could use it, and mostly to anthropologists. It was also hard to duplicate a wax cylinder recording with any fidelity.

There is no way that the people of 100 years ago could give informed consent of the possibility that their recording would be open to the world a century later.

While you, if you published a book, would have grown up as part of a culture which has had centuries of book publishing experience, and would be able to provide informed consent.

Of course, those people are dead, so why does it care?

Anthropologists also want to get a more complete view of people's lives. To do that, they may need to make assurances about how any notes or recordings will be used. If the standard is "after 100 years everything will be public" then anthropologists are less likely to get the information they want.

I happen to be extremely well acquainted with one tenured professor of biological oceanography, and one tenure track professor of physical oceanography, and I can't say I agree with your observation. My experience has been that tenure or not, the amount of work that these individuals have on their plate is essentially endless. Grants are extremely difficult to come by these days, although its getting better, and it is worth noting both of these individuals must pay a significant chunk of their salaries from grants. Not to mention that the pressure to keep publishing is essentially unending. Also, sabatical is not code for vacation. The system is the same, if you don't publish it's hard to get funding, and if you don't get funding you don't get your full salary.

That said, my experience in this is only with Oceanography professors who are research professors first and teachers a distant second.

The first thing that needs to change is the core resolution mechanic. The dice system is just flat out silly, and looks like a transparent attempt to make money by selling custom dice. The die resolution system could easily and with very little change to probability of success be changed to something like a d6 die pool system with 5 and 6 as successes. I know the advantage / success split would need to be fixed, but that mechanic is confusing enough (empirically, my GM and several other players all of whom are experienced with RPGs but new to the system were all befuddled by what to do with a failure with two advantages). Just discard that and use a tested mechanic like extra successes - roll N dice based on skill, a 5 or 6 is a hit, you need N hits to succeed, based on difficulty, and overage successes increase the margin thereof. You can fiddle that to allow 1s to be extra failing etc, but that is a lot cleaner.

The confusing symbol math needed to decode a roll (there are what, six major symbols, some of which count as other symbols, others which cancel in pairs) is annoying enough that I imagine every dev who has played this game has written their own die roller.

While the story and fluff behind character generation is pretty good, the three talent tree thing feels again like a cheap attempt to appeal to video game semantics, but ends up introducing balance issues (it is extremely worthwhile to dip a tree to gain cheap skill updates and the low tree upgrades, given cost scaling).

Character generation also makes it way too easy to make a really cruddy character by accident. In this case, "cruddy" is defined as someone who is significantly less likely to succeed at resolution rolls in a variety of situations. In particular, because attributes play such a huge role in skills and are hard to increase outside of chargen, it is waaay better to invest initial points directly in those.

This is exacerbated by the fact that while it feels nice to add specialization to a skill, it does not actually increase the odds of success by all that much. You are a better pilot with three green dice than with a green and a yellow. This problem combines the funky and hard to understand statistics of the resolution system with permanent mistakes that can be made during character generation, where a novice player can spend a lot of their resources making a character who is 15% better of a pilot than anyone else, but is terrible at everything else, which usually results in unsatisfying gameplay.

There are a lot of other bugs in the system - the weapon / armor add-on system is ripe for exploitation if the game is combat-heavy and the GM is foolish enough to allow people to easily purchase custom stuff. There are so many moving parts and ways to minmax, it is hard not to. I mean, an under-barrel flame thrower is a reasonable option here. FFS, FFG.

Ultimately, I enjoy star wars RPGs, but that is despite the mechanics, rather than because of them.

Ob- my roller.

It's an issue of central planning and information arbitrage I guess. Unless the entire society is equally involved in economic central planning (which is absurd), a small group of people will be doing it, thus having access to more information, which is power.

Which is not to say that is not a problem in capitalist society or something that strong democratic foundations cannot alleviate.
How Snapchat Has Kept Itself Free of Fake News
Wow. I used to like Flattr (though, I only used it once), but this is a terrible design decision from them, imo.

I'm not sure what the right solution is, but this is pretty gross as you describe it. Off the top of my head, the only thing that would make me feel better about Flattr is if they somehow tracked money as it flows through Flattr, and prevented double-taxing content creators.

I do find my perception interesting though. Generally, I'm pretty pro-company in the sense that, they need to pay their devs, they need to pay their bills, investors, etc. Yet, if a company moves itself in my head to the "we're here for the community" side of the line, suddenly they conceptually become a non-profit in my head, and if their profit feels like more of the pie than absolutely needed, it feels like the worst type of greed. Greed from the needy, greed from those we're trying to support, etc.

Most social services fail.

There've been a slew of attempts. A handful, and I mean that literally, hit the big time at any moment: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, VK, Twitter, Reddit.

(That handful's composition may change, but its count largely doesn't. Zipf's Law may hold a clue as to why.)

Even massively financed efforts fail: Google+. I'm one of the ghosts in the ghost town, and measured the activity to boot.

Services who've studied other failures ... fail. Imzy.

Services who've gotten big ... fail. MySpace.

Services who sell for near a billion dollars ... fail. Bebo.

Even services that ... sort of succeed, fail to generate sustainable revenues. Twitter and Reddit.

There are many problems, and initially, they tend overwhelmingly to be social -- who is on the network. Several of the noteable successes hit big, in particular Usenet, Slashdot, and Facebook, at least in their day. Draw the wrong initial crowd, and you'll be hampered by it forever.

There's a whole slew of other challenges: spam, abuse, asshats, network and system attacks, costs, UI/UX, performance, relevance, utility, and more. Whilst there are technical components, many of the elements are dominated by soft-skills.

Commercial and centralised systems have tended to be the more successful, through technical simplicity and funding, though there are noncommercial successes: Wikipedia and the Wikimedia foundation, MetaFilter.

And some interesting efforts at a slow boil: GnuSocial, Diaspora, Mastodon.

I'm not convinced decentralisation is the core problem.

Effectively, you allocate a portion of funds every month to Flattr. Over that month you can click the "flattr" button on any site that has one, and at the end of the month your monthly contribution is split evenly among all of your "flatter" choices. I don't know if they added recurring donations, last I looked at this service was a couple of years ago.

EDIT: Apparently they've made it an extension that tracks your browsing history. That's just ridiculous. It's also a shame -- Peter Sunde used to be quite pro-privacy. But they _did_ say they wanted to liberate the extension.

What really drives me nutty is when they have a route that goes from A->B->C->D->E and and you can see on the screen A->B->C on the screen. It shows an alternate route from A->B1->C that takes 30 minutes longer. This is the route you'd prefer to take, but you figure there must be traffic, so you stay on the crap route.

But what it's actually done is made a route from A->B1->C->D1->E. The A->B1->C and A->B->C routes are actually similar travel times, it's the C->D1->E route that takes the extra half hour.

That seems a little different.

PhD programs are meant to be training programs and universities repeatedly have argued that it is not an employer-employee relationship, but a mentor-mentee one. If that's true, I think the mentors have a bit more responsibility even where it cuts against their own self-interests (e.g., tell someone that this is not the career for them and risk losing out on their labor).
It is illegal for unpaid interns to do ANY work, at ANY point, which provides value to your business. Interns need to know this. Employers need to know this as well, but they've proven that they can't be trusted a million times.

'Make game of that which makes as much of thee.' Employers are going to treat employees like a cost center to be reduced, a factor to be manipulated in order to optimize things, etc and the only way that can not end in tragedy is if everyone is aware and the employees play the employer just as much. This is what employers chose.

> So what you mean to say is that the problem is not so much that there isn't any error reporting, but that, in C, it's being ignored ?

...huh? No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that if you write a shell script there's a risk of not detecting errors that you care about. I also said that I like to rewrite these overgrown shell scripts in Go, which is apparently a Wrong Opinion and some bad C code will somehow convince me of this.

First, the nitpicks: EAGAIN should not be handled here. EAGAIN shouldn't be retried in a loop, that will just spin the CPU for no good reason. If printf() returns EAGAIN it means that you made stdout non-blocking and hopefully you would know if you did that, but that's unusual except in language runtimes. There's also a missing break; in the switch.

Beyond that, I don't really care about error handling for printf() when I'm logging output or running interactive programs.

Compare this with the behavior for C++:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
close(STDOUT_FILENO);
std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
return 0;
}

Try it yourself.

As an example of the errors we see in our logs, they often look like this:

The "ignored errors in the Go standard library" aren't really ignored errors. Look at the bufio code a little bit more closely, you'll see that those errors are properly returned.
