I’m sad to hear my recent bad Merrills we’re not a one-off. I know people who swear by Keen, but I can’t stand the toe box. Might have to try to get used to it for the next pair.
I guess the problem is with the name Julia, which is lovely but you have to specify that you mean the language—no-one ever mistakes what "C++" refers to.
If you view it as flaunting first-world wealth while you’re exploiting a developing nation for its tourism, then you might make the argument that you morally deserve to get robbed.
I really wonder why you’re so hellbent on defending “but it worked for me” if you’re acutely aware of “I tried it once and at the same time I go better” does indeed bear all hallmarks of falling into the classic human trap of mistaking correlation for causation. It’s literally one of the easiest mistake to make. We humans are just wired for it. I’m certainly guilty of making that same mistake at least a thousand times and more. I’m actually glad if people point out to me when I make that same mistake.
but much like the bay area I'm sure a loud minority of people in boulder will express their demand for all of the above with constant density while being continually outraged that it doesn't seem to be working out as they expect.
Politicians generally appreciate housing price increases. Homeowners are a key voting demographic.
Mother Jones is the most extreme left-wing publication I can think of.
This particular article is not much of an exception, and I have flagged it.

To address the point, though, I've been working on making my twitter feed better. I mute SJW's on sight. I've got an annoying hashtag and the words "Trump" and "Russians" muted as well.

I try to constructively engage when I run into someone I wouldn't mind following, but who is clearly at least temporarily being an Twitter activist in a way that I disagree with. I try to mostly tweet about programming topics, though.

But I've been talking with my friends about "the Twitter problem". We think it might be better to just quit following our Twitter accounts and go back to blogging and RSS feeds to stay on top of each other.
Usenet and similar distributed messaging systems (FidoNet) have been around since the 80's. Twitter made it accessible.
Sure, which is why I said up until the last few, but if you look at the footage of the two boosters landing closely they didn’t simply do a 3 engine landing burn.

They powered up the centre engine, then lit two engines either side of it, but then turned those off a few seconds before landing and still actually landed on a single engine for the last ten seconds or so. It’s hard to be sure exactly because the telephoto footage of the booster catches the start of the burns but misses the side engines shutting down. But when it pans back on to the engines, it’s clear only one of them is still lit (with one other flaring off some unspent fuel). That’s a very precise and tuneable thrust curve you wouldn’t be able to do with one bigger engine.
If you consider your work a 1.0 then you accept 'shortcomings'. It's important that you are able to deliver that 1.0 and that despite its shortcomings, it does what it was supposed to do and value is derived from it (in the broadest sense possible).

The real value is in knowing what is important and what is not. The real value is to be able to make sane tradeoffs within a particular context.

That is how to get things done.
> C is just some readable assembly.

Here's one article that argues the other side. I like this part a lot, though the wording is a maybe a little bit argumentative :)

"Be knowledgeable about what’s actually in the C and C++ standards since these are what compiler writers are going by. Avoid repeating tired maxims like “C is a portable assembly language” and “trust the programmer.” Unfortunately, C and C++ are mostly taught the old way, as if programming in them isn’t like walking in a minefield. Nor have the books about C and C++ caught up with the current reality. These things must change."

Should they also prevent people on Google Chrome to even view the article? Sometimes you have to separate content from container.
Advertising is advertising - doesn't need to be "traditional" - even if that's the metric ... who cares? They're a unicorn, plenty of companies have benefited (temporarily) from unabashed media excitement. Comparisons like this are silly.
>I'm still amazed how bad the Twitter.com UI is.

Yes, I have been complaining about this sporadically for a while. I mean, I once tweeted that you have to do a headstand to read the tweets in chronological order [1], and even, the text will be upside down ... :) Some time later, I think they have made some changes to that, for certain cases at least, e.g. for a thread consisting of a tweet and replies to it. But in a sense that makes things even more confusing, because now you have to sometimes read things chronologically (a tweet and its replies), and sometimes in reverse (the rest)!

Jokes apart, there are multiple issues with the UI.

[1] Yes, I know there may be a technical reason for the problem, but has anyone at Twitter tried working on a solution?.
What’s the start-up? We have an Airbnb in our building that’s pissing me off.

Maybe paintings can't be "fixed" once they are done, but software can always be improved, refactored or even completely rewritten if it takes off. So it would make sense to do as many projects as possible and test which ones have the potential to go big, isn't it?

Obviously this doesn't apply to software that goes into medical equipment, planes etc that can harm people.
DLang's betterC mode improves on C
I too have heard about Bing's growth, but how much of that is NOT because of it being default for windows 10 and Cortana searches? I think default-bing searches make up >90% of all bing searches (as opposed to going to bing.com or setting it as the default on your browser), but I'd love to see the data on that.

Google became a verb which demonstrates a solid position. I was interviewing at Yahoo and was given a project problem. The interview said "Feel free to Google stuff to build the project", I joked back "Don't you mean Yahoo it?" He laughed and said "No, you can use Google. We all use Google here, it's fine."

I think they're pretty dominant

Definitely agree on that second one: “harhar, all perfectionists are making excuses for their lack of skill and keeping me from my brilliant work!!”

Not someone I’d want to work with, but I’m sure he’d think I’m too slow and stupid anyway :)
Ask HN: Why are we addicted to getting rich?
There is trillions of dollars in peoples hands that do nothing but buy luxury. What is this ancient desire to be rich? What amount will make you satisfied?
I’ve had the same two pairs of Vivo Barefoots for 10 years now (since I worked with Galahad briefly at their tiny Bermondsey studio). They are excellent shoes and last a long time. The current off/road ones (which look a bit like climbing shoes) are superb.
Most animals make their own Vitamin C in their liver. Humans, guinea pigs, a couple of monkeys, and fruit bats are the only animals on earth that don't make their own L-Ascorbic Acid.
Totally. I'm kinda off topic, sorry. More the epic amounts of troll and fake accounts. I deleted my Twitter account at about 15k followers, the trolling and spam got too much. Point well taken! :)
How did you set up your back end here? (what's taking the photos and running the algorithms on them)

Great site by the way, I'm impressed.
> Any thoughts about ReasonML vs "straight" OCaml?

I've heard of (and from) web developers who say that they find OCaml impossible to read, but that ReasonML is easy and pleasant for them. So part of this is what you are used to, and another is subjective preference.
Look, everywhere there is power, there is abuse of power, it does not matter what source of power it comes from. The only thing that helps is having another power that checks it.
Huh. Guess you guys don't understand the word 'Ironically'.

Irony: "happening in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this."

The site is a ycombinator.com site, and ycombinator is all about helping tech startups, yet the site was offline due to too much traffic.

Hence, the irony.
I do this! Snowball method for time instead of money.

Momentum is easily one of the the most powerful forces in my life, both good and bad, so I try hard to keep it working in my favor.
Boo-hoo. That couple deserves the social karma coming to them.
You seem to have conflated the concepts of representation and protection.

Congress represents constituents, it does not protect them. If constituents do not demand action here congress will not pursue further action.

The CFPB is supposed to be protecting consumers, not congress.

You can buy it anywhere on web to make you own spray (100 g will be enough for whole family for at least year). Just 2 things:
1.Use only boiled water.
2.Spray throat and nose.
From my personal experience - it's really helpful also from other viral infections.
Sadly if virus already in blood and lot of time has passed - it's not gonna help :( Zinc might help a bit... depends on person and Vit B6 status.
A concept of Twitter
"...But rural voters feel alienated from the actual politicians they're able to pick. Take a look at all the top Republicans and Democrats, the ones who are in the news. What has any of them done to help revitalize rural areas?..."

That's a complaint which is not particular to rural voters though right? The same can be said of the impoverished urban masses gripped by hopelessness and drug activity. Or the impoverished suburban masses gripped by hopelessness and an opioid epidemic.

Many voters all over the US "... feel alienated from the actual politicians they're able to pick..."

Closing the chasm between leaders and those being led is an age old problem. It's a problem that was likely present in every great civilization.
Well if you're fine with ocular whitelisting then you could just try to not let the comments you find offensive affect you.

99% of people who rant against perfectionism don't understand how wholly perfectionism takes over your thought process and that people who suffer from perfectionism are not characterized by "perfect" finished products, or even necessarily describing themselves as such. Rather, it can be a crippling subconscious mindset that inhibits productivity, creativity, and learning.

In other words, the "causes" you identify in your first sentence are actually the consequences of the affliction.
I think you're absolutely underestimating the consequences of the various antitrust rulings Microsoft had to submit to, especially in the European Union.

Even if Microsoft was no longer a monopoly (which, by the way, is entirely incorrect), you can't always hope for a new emerging market to break up a monopoly. The hold that Google has on digitized data is nearly unassailable at this point.
The -betterC option in the D language makes think that switching to D (instead of C where it would be used) would be a painless way to use a better language with an easy transition path for programmers used to C.

The D language folks should do a better job evangelizing the use of D for specific purposes rather than try to be everything for everyone. I see D as a suitable replacement for everything that Go is currently used for and with the betterC option it is also, I think, a good replacement for C in embedded development.
The corrupting factor of a company being too large and effectively a vertical monopoly has to be weighed against economies of scale. At a certain point new competitors stop existing, and the company can begin milking consumers or users and spending to lock in their position. Microsoft was hit by this, though the tactics have changed (the Network Effect being a natural phenomena but still containing the same properties). I could see them for instance being forced to open their APIs to allow for interoperable products to be developed, or their data troves being broken up.
What's really shocking is that a "private street" is a thing.
I don't think so, the commenter was saying that a snake that avoided toads by way of its genetics, would be more fit, and thus reproduce more snakes that avoid toads. Genetics can affect instincts so this is not far fetched. But yes, learning genes would be much more apt and effective over a larger obstacle course. It is tough to see how a snake is going to develop a neocortex though.
I don't know if maybe you think capitalism is the only reason people don't just lie in bed all day, but theory has been soundly disproven.
Surely it is easier to not change time at all?
Centralization isn't bad; often, it's welcome, as by its nature it's more efficient. Bitcoin is a good example of how not to do tech.

Beyond that, you're under the mistaken impression that government=centralized, private=decentralized. The reality is, governments and markets are two sides of the same coin. They both strive centralize control.
The Feist collaboration with Janny Wurts went into much more detail, and is in my opinion more readable than Feist's solo work.

Basically, as materials science goes, they skipped everything about metallurgy and went straight to ceramics, polymers, and composites. Seems like Feist took the concept from Teng-dynasty paper armor and just ran with it, including the pseudo-Asian flavor of the Tsurani.

I have Ankyloglossia. It doesn't affect my job performance as a lot of communication is in email / Slack / Github anyway. I do find I have to make more of an effort to speak clearly.

When I don't make an effort, my words aren't pronounced as well as they should and people have to ask me to repeat what I said (or intended to say).

My job doesn't involve phone calls or presentations so there fortunately isn't a need to speak for a long period of time.

Of course - that is why those that turn out great work tend to be fast and just get things done.

If you have skill and understanding of your goals you know exactly how much effort is required for each task and you can balance the competing priorities well.

"I love the world, except for all the people."

"I have an opinion. I am entitled to express it. You? Not so much. I don't want to hear your shit while I tout the value of free speech."

"I'm a privileged white male. Of course, I think it is totes normal to expect everyone else to kowtow to my comforts instead of me learning to not be a butt. I see zero correlation between my bad behavior and the invective aimed at me. LA LA LA not listening."*

In all seriousness, I am all for figuring out how to foster a more civil environment anywhere people interact socially. But these sorts of solutions are not it. In fact, they tend to be counterproductive.

* Not All Privileged White Males. Just, you know, the (hypocritical) assholes.
I found HN aggravatingly hostile to freedom of thinking and open discussion. There are several hypocrisies/arbitrary taboos about what ideas you're allowed to mention on here. Even some anti-science taboos. Usually agreeing with everyone else is good and disagreeing with the majority will get you downvoted or shadowbanned. People are very afraid of specific political ideas so even getting accidentally misidentified as a member of some popular hateable group gets you penalised. People see hints of "bad-thought" hidden behind innocent or open-minded words.
I usually read most of the article, until I get the main point and some details, but this time i went through the whole thing because right now I am in the middle of a diy diet myself (nothing fancy, just cutting on carbs, paying a bit more attention to what I eat and cooking at home instead of eating outside).

First thing first, eating only meat is not as bonkers as it might seem. In fact, it's a huge an distinctive part of the Dukan diet, which starts by imposing a protein-only diet(§) for, guess what, ten days to two weeks. This is to get the same effect that Sonya Mann (the author of the article) experienced and thus to give a confidence boost to the dieter as immediate result help the dieter to go through the diet (keeping dieting is the hardest part of a diet as anyone that has dieted at least once can tell you).

After that you integrate vegetables (in this phase you're still losing weight) and go on like this with meat + vegetables for ideally one week for each kilogram you want to lose.

After that, you can basically start eating regularly(§§) for the rest of your life BUT you must always observe the meat/protein only Thursday (§§§), this also for the rest of your life.

I have followed the Dukan diet and it affected me positively and I have lost a significant amount of weight (but keep in mind, I was/am mildly overweight -- that is, i have belly fat).

The book that Dr. Dukan wrote about its diet is very cool because it explains in simple but proper terms how the diet works and why it works. It also explains what to expect and when to expect sub-optimal results (for example, women should expect a wider variance in results because of hormonal ups and down -- mostly due to menstrual cycle).

So...

Going back to the story, eating meat only can be sustainable. Not sure how long, though.

Surely, I don't think it's such a great living. What bothers me the most, actually, is that the meat you buy nowadays at grocery store is filled with hormones and antibiotics (used to get animals to grow very much and very fast). One could argue, the humankind has evolved to eat meat, but also to go hunt for meat and eat it "fresh" (as in non-conserved, with no preservatives, no hormones and no antibiotics) but that's unfeasible nowadays.

Notes:

-----

(§) calories only, plus yoghurt and integral oats to help with digestion.

(§§) regularly as in european-regular

(§§§) Thursday has been chosen randomly, for no particular reason, it's just a convention.

Thanks for the reference, that's reassuring!
There are some corporate structures that seem better suited for owning real estate, like a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Maybe there is a proxy "Google REIT" that is 100% owned by Google. Or some other proxy entity accounting stuff going on, such that Google is not "technically" the owner of the building, but a subsidiary with a different tax structure. I think that's what the parent meant.
haha funny, but I doubt that's it. Why's that, do a lot of guys in tech have boyfriends?
I think he meant a paywall, kind of like how some services don't waste their time offering free accounts and receiving tons of support requests.

Billy Gates also famously pondered charging a fee for sending email to reduce spam.
> But if the consumer is not being harmed, why get in the way of a company that has truly earned market dominance?

Presumably the anti-trust regulation exists to determine the consumer harm.
I mean, if you own land, and a street is on it. It's private, yes?
Does Detroit need more regulation right now? For a city that's struggling to attract people to visit/live there, is cutting off a source of income for residents and an option for visitors in the city's best interests?
What sort of karma do the decades-delinquent homeowners deserve?
On the other hand, a lot of diseases (including lifelong, autoimmune ones) are triggered, at least in part, by infections[0]. Without ever experiencing even a common cold, it stands to reason that some cases of those diseases could be precluded. Also, for the elderly, respiratory illness should be avoided because it puts undue stress on the cardiovascular system[1].

I giggled at that!

I bought a pair of (similar-looking to the article's Chinese shoe) shoes for $17 at Target one day after I stepped into a puddle on the way to work. I figured they'd last me perhaps through the summer of occasional wear; can't expect much for $17, right? Instead I wore them everywhere for about 3 years. Comfortable in all weather and terrain except when it was wet.

I should get another pair on the way home...
For what, buying land that legally went up for sale when a laughably low tax went unpaid for 40 years? If this had happened anywhere else to people other than the ultra-rich, nobody would care and they'd be allowed to own it. This is nothing more than a demonstration of America being ruled by the whims of oligarchy rather than law.

Agree with hibbelig, I grew up in Germany (Stuttgart) and I think compass directions aren't as popular as here in the US. Maybe because all the roads are so twisty, even in the cities, that nothing goes in one direction for very long. We definitely went "down" to the city center because it was at a much lower elevation than our neighborhood.
