"Wall paper"???????

Why wall paper??????

For what walls SHOULD look like, see

There, where's the role for "wall paper"???

Uh, a first cut guess is that the building is

Deutsch: Kunsthistorisches Museum in Wien, davor der
Maria-Theresien-platz
mit dem Maria-Theresien-Denkmal.

Gee, maybe could add some wall paper to

Think that would help?

As at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCrzburg_Residence

that is the main staircase of the

Würzburger Residenz.

IIRC at the top of the staircase there is a big wall with no wall paper but with a large painting by Tiepolo. Maybe they could fit some wall paper around the painting? How about an improvement, wall paper OVER the painting????? :-)
Given that he's tested for lots of languages, shouldn't he be applying something like bonferroni correction to the Granger causality results? Wouldn't this have the effect of making them all insignificant?
I don't have sinusitis or tension headaches. When I've stayed up many hours into the night I get a particular sensation of vibration in my sinuses and a compulsion to breathe deeply through them.
Here's my advice from building a couple websites with tons of icons (almost overuse, because I really like using icons on everything).

Just use img tags with Noun Project icons. Use a scripting language of your choice to change the fills and extract the Creative Commons attribution from the XML, and you'll have full customization of the color and size of your icons. There's probably a service out there that does this for you, but a quick search returns no results. (Idea for a project!) But regardless, Noun Project SVG is extremely simple for parsing with a 20-line script.

Don't bother with rotating 180 degrees to generate forward buttons, etc. That's just preoptimization. Just use two different icons. Your company/project/organization will not see the tiniest financial effect of loading tons of unnecessary SVG files vs. optimizing them.
It’s strange there’s no service to aid in this process, or maybe there is and I haven’t seen it? Meetup has become to much work to sort our sellers.

Tinder for plain ol’ friends you are not trying to date or sell something to, but might have things in common with?

The one thing that messes it up for me is a few people I have known a long time who turned out to be lifelong best friends yet I have almost nothing in common with them. It’d be tough to have matching criteria for that, then again it also sounds like something tailor-made for machine learning if you could get the right data into the system.
Easy: what's the feature you're selling? Is it "TLS 1.0" or "secure connections"?
That's less "fork Linux" (which Google found to be unmaintainable, not to mention non-ideal from a licensing standpoint) and more "screw you guys, we're making our own kernel with blackjack and hookers".
Can we stop linking to “right to try”-bait headlines?

This clearly a long way from the “potential cure for cancer” bullshit, but I think we just need to have a blanket rule to link to the actual research, or alternatively not to use headline from the press release.

That is a beautiful thought. I like it.

Can I mark this as an answer? :) yes spending too much time on SO.
Happy? Aim lower. How about making it through the day. One step at a time. Don’t over think it or think you can will your way out of this. You can’t. If you could you’d be better or managing already. Take a step. Btw, I have two kids as well. They are great but don’t make things easier or better necessarily. Focusing on yourself is the best thing you can do for them.

By far the most common is supervised learning (in which there is a target variable). Less common is unsupervised learning (in which there is no target variable, but solution quality still might be measurable). Occasionally, one comes across reinforcement learning (long-term performance is measurable, but little or no short-term feedback is available), and a variety of more special-purpose techniques like association rule discovery / link analysis, anomaly detection, sequential patterns mining, frequent pattern mining and probably several others I've forgotten.
Uber has a low cost because they are not charging you enough to cover their own costs, they are making up the difference with VC money. Any factors that make the cost of providing an Uber lower than the cost of providing a taxi are unimportant because they are not pricing based on the cost. If they had to pay for taxi medallions they could still undercut existing taxis if they wanted to.
I don't agree. You pay someone a few hundred K and you can get x or 10x or 100x out of them if you know how people work. It's much better to get 10x or 100x out of all of your employees if you want to maximize profit.
If you looked at the Ted Cruz tax plan from the 2016 campaign, he advocated for a 10% tax on individuals with a high standard dedication and a 16% tax on business income. Taxpayers making under $50k would have paid zero under his plan.

It is possible to do a flat tax while protecting the poor.

But, as Milton Friedman said, the tax code is complex for a reason — it gives politicians a means to exert power and reward or punish. With a simple tax code, the incentive to donate to campaigns would be reduced. The Democrat and Republican establishment both oppose simplifying the tax code because they would be killing the golden geese that keep getting them re-elected. It’s no accident that the tax code changes literally every year. Politicians are busy rewarding or punishing constituencies.
Agreed. It’s funny that not too long ago I wrote a cross platform battery status indicator[0] that I could place in my tmux status bar and not have to worry about changing my config based on what system I’m on. Coincidentally it can also be used with bitbar. However, shortly after using it I realized it was more distracting than helpful. Now I just call the script if I want to see the status. There’s also less battery anxiety this way.

GCD is a library, not a language construct. As such it is extremely raw, and i've got a strong suspicion that the fact that it wasn't built for server-side style concurrency is one of the reason kitura is dead slow in the benchmarks. Those kind benchmarks usually spawn thousands of simultaneous connexions, which is very far from what an app generally requires (but i could be wrong).

It also doesn't provide more parallelism regarding i/o than os-based threading. go has light threads which makes context switching fast, and node has async i/o all over the place. Maybe Swift NIO would make a difference, but it would only make swift catch up to what the first version of node.js provided.

My point was that this manifesto https://gist.github.com/lattner/31ed37682ef1576b16bca1432ea9... has been written 1 year ago and nothing has been implemented or announced at wwdc (but maybe i missed a talk...)
A few years ago, without any previous symptoms, I wake up from a nap and everything looked gray.

I talked with my girlfriend about that (never with my parents, maybe I feel ashamed? ) and I talked with a professional. It helps a lot. Seriously. Go.

Few other things that work for me:

* Sleep. Man, just sleep. After two days without proper sleep, I feel like crap. Exactly with all those things that you said in mind.

* Food. No candies. Bananas are amazing.

* I fucking love coffee. But I tried not to abuse.

* Write things down. Tasks? Write them. Feelings? Write them too. Check tasks in a paper have something that helps me feel like I accomplished something. And try to do small tasks, break things into chunks. It's something very very very hard for me, but it works.

* Get angry. Really. Be mad at something. Be bordered by something. Hate something. And try to express those feelings (without being an asshole of course). Example: If someone sent me an email that I found stupid, I talk about that with my coworkers. I don't know why but makes me feel like I care about things.

* And disconnect. I used to be hyper-connected. Now I tried to minimize the number of things that I read, I don't use twitter either facebook anymore. If something does not add value to my life, I tried to avoid it.
Design work is extremely different from developer work. Design work is usually publicly available, and each piece often stands on its own. Paid developer work is usually not publicly visible, and a lot of projects require working with teams. The type of work that goes on a Github profile, therefore, is usually unpaid work where you get to create your own project, and pick your own codebase. In this sense, you're comparing apples to oranges.
Quit one job and live below your means.

I don't quite understand why people seem to think success doesn't require sacrifice anymore. You can either sacrifice your time and money for a more streamlined education and get a college degree or you can sacrifice a lot of your time and take a risk to self-educate.

There's really no middle ground and both strategies can land you a job if you're good, but becoming good always requires effort and some sacrifice.
The world may be meaningless, but it existed billions of years before you were born and it will go on for billions of years after you. Explore it while you have your chance.

Indeed, the world has no meaning without people, including you; each brings his/her own meaning to the world, but usually it comes down to love (for someone or something), i.e. it is love that gives meaning to life and the world in one's eyes.

If you love your children the world is not meaningless.
Long term investors might buy shares if they expect high dividends in the future. Eventual profit, not immediate profit.

It's not a tax disadvantage if the expectation is that the bulk of the income eventually comes from dividends, even if that time is 10 years down the road.
Amongst other yes. The main advantage is that you aren't dealing with metals but with photonic crystals. These don't heat up so you can build a cubic meter sized CPU theoretically.
You're in denial.

Germany had 7 players from Bayern, 16 out of 22 from the Bundesliga. Spain 2010 is even more striking.

Both teams played a distinct national style. The style of the Premiere league is not very internationally competitive.
I haven't read the material in a while but I think this was sensitive to framing. That is, I don't think it's exactly true that attaching a reward to something harms performance — I think one has to frame the task as being done for the purpose of the reward. If I am remembering this correctly, then emphasizing someone's intrinsic motivation while also providing an extrinsic reward should be ok.

If you happen to remember the material well enough to clarify on this point I would appreciate it :)

These guys are fooling themselves. If their app provides ongoing value, then subscriptions are the way to go today - it's just a matter of charging the correct price for the perceived value the consumer is receiving.
Right, the HTML doc title is legit to use for HN, especially when it's more neutral and factual, which it often is.

>pay-once model of my apps

it is a pity that people don't like subscriptions because it seems way more sane than fuelling development only with new customers.

For some apps it works to pay once but if it is something that is constantly developed and/or has server costs, this is far from ideal
Then having bought the home do they redecorate? No, they rip out the perfect, almost new kitchen to replace for a slightly different effect on the doors and new appliances. For tens of thousands.
For a qualified contractor? $100 per billable hour is extremely reasonable. They're not on the clock all the time. When I did consulting work (not writing software but tech-related) I charged way more than that although it was usually based on jobs rather than hours.

ADDED: And, if you're contracting through a larger firm, they're adding various overheads associated with managing the project, etc.

But the collector in question very specifically didn't want other copies to exist, and threatened to never upload rare games again if it were shared outside the small, private community:

you must, must, MUST talk to a health professional. Even if you just walk to the nearest hospital or clinic and describe your symptoms and ask for a referral. This is not due to your life choices, or your personality, or your individual philosophy. This is not a healthy way to feel, but you cannot feel any differently because of this illness. This illness CAN be treated. You do not need to feel this way. There is no truth in the way you feel now, and this weight CAN be lifted off your shoulders.

Please, please, talk to a doctor.

Many people who are depressed are like that for a physical reason. This is often hereditary. You might need medication.

Visit a professional to find out if this would help you. If only to help your children.
Land value and property taxes are fair if you look at it from the perspective of value received from local services rather than cost to provide local services. A lot of the value of a property comes from how good the schools are, how effectively policed the area is, how good the transportation infrastructure is, etc. It's only fair that the community be able to capture some of the value that it is creating.
That definitely falls under "improper archiving procedures", and is tremendously more embarassing than merely having the medium degrade.
Any software I have used and found to be a tool I've relied on, I have purchased a licence for at some point in time. Granted this is when I've been comfortable financially. If it comes down to eating or paying for a software license is obvious. But to keep being a tight ass after you're more than able is just crappy. Especially since as a dev you should be able to relate to those dedicated to their craft & realize they too could be struggling financially. I do find smaller orgs more enticing than say a Photoshop license as an example, of the pricing is high for using on occasions. That said being a solely design or front end type that's something you'd use and rely on to make money on. It's really that case (for me at least) if it's used for profit it should be profitable for the creators. However I've also been a musician too who believes strongly on the opposite. Music should be free to individuals and paid for up corporations. The same model is great for open source like redhat (centos) or Magento that offer enterprise license that mean dedicated support. My point being as an individual it's hard to justify at times, but for organizations it should be obvious to licensed.

Having paid for sublime and PHP storm, both have vim modes. But I prefer nano (yes I'm one of those lol ;-) )
> stuff other people cannot think to do

What are you talking about?
Thank you for that. I learned a lot from that post. That was a really awesome and detailed explanation into tracing and debugging a disassembled ROM. Debugging a regular program can be hard enough. Reading things like this always leaves me kind of awestruck at the level of patience and dedication that goes into debugging raw memory adresses and register states.

In some ways though writeups like this makes things like this seem more accessible like something you could actually learn to do with enough patience and effort.

Thanks again for taking the time to write this process up and share this.

All we are doing with Objective-C is gluing together a few JSON APIs and buttons. The assumption that a single language needs to be fit for both security-critical low-level code and high-level UI programming is exactly the problem with Swift.
I think this misses the point. A resource like GitHub shouldn't just be used by the underpriviliged to score a better paying job. It should be used by underpriviliged groups to gain access to the tools and knowledge that rich groups take for granted. Then the underpriviliged can build their own system without simply buying into the existing systems.

This is the same argument we make against closed access research papers. The goal isn't to make it easier to hire poor people. The goal is to give poor people knowledge and resources so they can build themselves up.
My father got EB1->citizenship.

It went pretty fast ( a couple of years until citizenship)

EB-1 Requirements: a couple of patents, and a whole bunch of endorsements from notable companies(Apple,Dell and some others) that his company was a vendor to.

Then again I knew a bunch of chessplayers on EB-1 too in 1990s, IMs/GMs.

I was working on a hobby language a few years ago and trying to figure out a way to handle equality to avoid these problems. One solution I considered was:

1. Ask the LHS for its equality function.

2. Ask the RHS for its equality function.

3. If the two return different functions (non-identical), the objects are not equal.

4. Otherwise, return the result of invoking the function.

The first two steps are polymorphic, so objects can define interesting equality semantics with whatever policy makes sense for them. But step 3 ensures that the two objects must agree on that policy before you can compare them.
Your claim that capital gains taxes could be 99% and you’d still be better off by investing makes no sense. Because why would you risk $1,000,000 — money that you could completely lose, for the chance to earn $10,000 after taxes? That would be an insane thing to do. You would be better off simply burying the money in the backyard.
And, presumably, stop reading Hacker News comments...
I don't think your original comment was at all problematic.

There's a naturally impulse for a human being to look at a problem and say "of course you need a world for this and it will have X, Y and Z data and it will be give you all you need." That is until they figure out how it is to keeping X, Y and Z updated is.

> not charging you enough to cover their own costs

Are you an Uber employee revealing private information? If not, it seems you're making a big assumption about the proportion of their expenses that are marketing and growth versus steady-state marginal cost.

Amazon didn't make profit for a while and everyone wondered if they could. Oh, it's a low margin business, they'll never be profitable, blah, blah. Turns out they can, in fact, make a bit of money. Maybe Uber and Lyft can, too. Delta can, even though flights are a commodity business.
If I understand it correctly, when a user pays they get all of the features available at that time. So there could be users with only feature 1, and users with features 1, 2 and 3, but never a user who only had feature 3. That reduces the number of combinations from O(2^n) to at most O(n), and you could keep track of which older features no one has, or offer periodic free/discounted updates to reduce the amount of different versions out there.
I do the same, I have the "kinda nice to have in the menubar but not forever" stuff set to stay there for N minutes on update.

Things like the battery for example, doesn't need to be there unless its changing, and then only for a bit. I recommend it, bartender is the biggest thing I wish apple would sherlock into the os.
> the ideological basis of the current cultural norm of "university==well-paid job" is entirely decadent

That assumes there is an ideological basis. It's not hard to rationally connect education with talent and skill, even if we debate the strength of the effect. It also assumes it is a 'norm', not a clear market signal - business unquestionably pay more to people with college degrees; you can argue the reasoning, but the fact is indisputable AFAIK. Yes, there are exceptions, but we are talking about vast trends; YMMV.

People have complained since probably the first written rant that others don't work hard enough, or hard as they did in my day, or as hard as I do, etc. I'm not sure it tells us much besides the consistency of humanity, its capacity for work, and its perception of self and others.
Do you believe that there is no difference between having a national team with zero players who thrive in foreign leagues vs having 4-5 key players who do?

In 2007 Liverpool reached the UEFA Champions League Final, and lost to Milan. In 2008 they reached the semi-final, and lost to Chelsea, whose opponents in the final were Man U, making it the first all-English final in the competition's history. How is that "not very internationally competitive"?

For the love of Jove, look at the squads this year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_squads

England is clearly apart from all other teams in its insularity; even Russia manages to include two players with foreign-league experience in their selection.

Or look at the EURO 2016 squads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016_squads

Your thesis that the best teams from the "larger" football countries don't have a lot of key players in foreign leagues is plainly wrong.
The article says they have more REM after they miss out on it. The ratio is not the same as normal sleep.
