I believe I was not clear, but your description is exactly what I said.

* You type in "sake"

* Press space once, it becomes "酒"

* If you want to choose OTHER candidates (such as "鮭"), you have to press space again to show the numbered candidate list.

>I do not hit space or escape or anything prior to typing 'sake'

I don't mean you need to hit anything prior to typing Romajis. But you need to hit it twice afterwards to get the numbered candidate list.

To be fair, on Win10's default IME, it does provide a predicted suggestion list before you press any spaces, which is nice; but for some reason this list is different from the formal candidate list, that it is not numbered and you have to hitting tabs repeatedly to choose from them:

Examples of really good APIs: helpful or no?
Hello smart people!

I'm currently building a visual resource guide to creating and enhancing APIs with common features to improve user adoption and experience. Right now, it is in the form of a blog that is broken down into API related categories, including things like documentation, SDKs, versioning, etc. The format of a single blog post goes something like this: "How company name does use case (e.g. How Stripe does documentation) Each post is highly visual, with several screenshots and a few brief sentences explaining the use case and the value that it provides users.

My question to you all is: what kind of content would you most like to see in terms of API inspiration? If you are someone who builds, modifies, or uses APIs frequently, what would the most useful content look like? Would it be highly visual (screenshots) or highly content oriented (code snippets)? Would you find this product useful at all? Or would you build/modify/use an API the same way regardless of how other companies do theirs?

I am looking for any feedback at all on this idea, even if it's something totally different than the questions that I proposed above. Thank you for your help!

So is the plasma an effect of the superheated steam? Or is the plasma used to heat the steam? Or is it used to collimate the steam...Pretty neat nevertheless. I always had a sweet spot for Ion plasma sources after working in the Semi industry for a couple years.

I think this minimizes both the incompetence that led to Flint's water supply to be unsafe for many of its customers and the audacity of the coverup: the government issued false statements to minimize the risk and threatened researchers trying to uncover the truth.

It's great that relatively few children seem to be harmed. It's also true that the city, state and American Red Cross delivered bottled water and filters to the people likely to be most significantly affected.
I am having some trouble understanding as well. Here is what I understand.

The point of GNUK is to move your GnuPG private key to a more secure device so it doesn't have to sit on your computer. With GnuPG, users are basically in control of the cryptographic operations: what keys to trust, what to encrypt or decrypt, etc.

With U2F, in order to comply with the spec you are basically forced to make a bunch of decisions that don't necessarily line up with GNUK's goals. You have to trust X.509 certificates and the whole PKI starting from your browser (CA roots and all that). Plus, U2F is basically a cheaper alternative to client certificates, but with GNUK you already have client certificates, so why go with something that provides less security?

To elaborate: With GnuPG, the reason you trust that Alice is really Alice is because you signed her public key with your private key. You can then secure your private key on a hardware device with GNUK. With FIDO U2F and GMail, you have to trust that you are accessing GMail, which is done through pinned certificates and a chain of trust starting from a public CA root. This system doesn't offer you much granularity for trusting certificates. Adding FIDO U2F to a system designed to support a GnuPG-like model of trust dilutes the purpose of the device. By analogy, imagine if you used your credit card to log in to GMail, maybe by using it as the secret key for U2F. The analogy isn't great, but you can imagine that even if you can trust that (through the protocol) GMail can't steal your credit card number, the fact that you are waving your credit card about all the time makes it a little less secure.

In general, people who work on GnuPG and other similar cryptography systems tend to be critical of the whole PKI, and I'm sympathetic to that viewpoint.

I really want to sarcastically say "blockchain homomorphic encryption", but, well, it's not necessarily a terrible idea, honestly. One can imagine some combination of the primitives in which you could prove that you added here the same amount you subtracted from there, that neither total is below zero, but for which the number actually transferred is encrypted. The current use case for something like BitCoin is often security focused, but there's also simply a privacy concern that could be addressed there.

autism is a spectrum. shes probably in it. quit trying to explain away her issues other posters.
The problem with that glib-sounding notion is that, besides being, potentially, a chicken-and-egg issue, is that the amount of available, suitable land is much more limited than the vastness of, for example, the USA, would suggest.

The first could be solved by something like the UK's New Towns, although that requires a level of government involvement that is likely politically impossible in the US and perhaps Canada, as well.

The second is the more important issue, since, based on many of the comments, people don't seem to merely want to live nearby to another few thousand people. They also want lakes, forests, mountains, or some other geographic or natural feature. They also need provisions and Internet, which means pre-existing infrastructure nearby.
The reason it's twice is to reduce the likelihood of a false positive fraud case banning someone who didn't commit fraud.

Speaking as an app developer, the little-known nature of 3D Touch means we can never rely on it as the sole way to access a feature, and that pretty much always means we have ignored building much with it.

I wonder if better training by Apple could help? But it seems they’ve already accepted the tap-and-hold workaround for supporting some 3D Touch functionality on devices without 3D Touch.

Seems like 3D Touch, and iOS 7’s lightboxing parallax effect for backgrounds, was likely part of a broader vision by Ive and the design team to bring depth to a thin phone screen. It’s an admirable goal, but whether by lack of discoverability or lack of training, seems like it isn’t poised to be a widely-adopted technology.
Isn't that also a matter of how you word / market it? If its marketed as an Exchange client also able to do IMAP/Gmail that's something different than an email client with IMAP/Gmail support oh and it has an Exchange plugin.

Yeah I use 3D touch as a cursor all the time. It almost makes up for not supporting a mouse. Almost.

What's the point of having a centralised blockchain? As far as I understand the thing that sets blockchain apart from the traditional data systems is that each participant maintains, calculates and updates new entries into the data system. All nodes work together to ensure they are all coming to the same conclusions. But in this case Google cloud will serve as the master whilst everyone else is a client which is just the same thing as a traditional data system. Correct me if I'm wrong

We're in a similar place -- finished our first priced round.

Comments:

Blatant unfairness: yes, warm intros are required. Yes, this is unfair. However, the onus is on you to make this happen. If you want to found a startup, put your time in to building your network. If you're at a startup now, get intros to the VCs. Ask to go to VC meetings.

When you're building the network of people you're going to ask for angel cash, do the same. Lots of them will be happy to give you those warm intros. So start now building a network of people you can ask for $10-$25k. This wasn't obvious to me, but an intro to a vc from an angel who has invested counts as a great intro.

The same network will get you into one of the good lawyers (cooley, sonsini, gunderson) with a warm intro who will also do a deferred fee deal for $15-$25k. You want this.

The other thing that is unfair is, at least in b2b, the more customers you have the easier a raise will be. How do you get those first customers when you have nothing except a site that breaks all the time and a tiny team? That's your problem; make it happen.

Passionate origin story: we build a b2b tech. Most VCs seemed happy with

2 - we're building a solution

Oh, and read the book _venture deals_ by brad feld and jason mendelson [1]. Seriously. It's extraordinarily valuable.

Seriously consider doing the YC pre-YC program. It's all funnel for YC, but the info is good. Though it can be summed up (only somewhat facetiously) as, "Have you talked to customers yet? Maybe you should talk to customers. If you've talked to customers, talk to more! If you've talked to more customers, talk to even more! And after that... talk to some customers!"

Understand that the seed and A all want 25%; plan accordingly. Within that range, they are less price sensitive.

If you have questions, I'm happy to answer them, but I'm busy (the startup experience is everyone in your life is grumpy at you for flaking on them) so no promises on response time.

But why do you want to work somewhere where you have this grotesquely irrelevant gauntlet? A silly interview process doesn't mean it's a good job or a good company, it just means they've got more applicants than they know what to do with.

I know there's a lot of pressure here to work a 80h week but you can be financially independent without pressure. Just pick your battle.

You've got a skill. Believe it or not, programmers are needed all around the world. The pay is dramatically variable but so are living costs. Move. Find a nice town with a small software company that's hiring and start a life. Get your head straight. Read. Get a hobby. It's all much easier when you're not blowing $3k/month on a 1 bed studio.

You can also work shunt jobs directly for companies. Build websites, build apps. Lots of project management and quoting for things that never come to fruition but it's a job and very little overhead.

I'm not trying to put you down. I'm sure you can jump start you happiness the way you're desperately trying to... But stepping into a low pressure job somewhere where it's dirt cheap to live is a much healthier approach to the problem you have.

The jury is still out on microkernels being "gravely ill-advised". Fuchsia, for example, is a modern microkernel that works quite well.

The performance concerns that famously killed the microkernel hype are very old at this point. Modern hardware significantly reduces IPC overhead. And lots of the modern application stack (e.g. multiprocess browsers) essentially cobble together microkernel primitives out of comparatively-clunky OS features (e.g. cmsg on Unix).

I think most of Linux's success relative to microkernel designs was due to being in the right place at the right time, not due to any fundamental technical factors.

I would still disagree with your use of the word "better."

> The distortions and coloring your tube amplifier produce might sound good to you, but they're imperfections.

"Sounding good to the listener" is the criteria by which this kind of musical equipment is evaluated. According to this standard, tube amps are "better."

As a tech-head I totally get where you are coming from. The more accurate reproduction of the sound does create a lot of value as it enables new sounds and techniques. But as a musician, I don't really care about optimizing the electrical and acoustic properties of the physical system. I only really care about the sound I get out of it at the end.

Distortion is, by the exact same measure of sonic clarity and reproductive accuracy, horribly broken from a technical point of view. Yet that effect underpins whole genres of music. In many situations it is "better" than the "technically accurate" reproduction.
What the actual fuck is this "cryptosteel" thing?
I'm not super convinced that the economic hardships many Americans experience is mainly because of what major they chose in college.

And a lot of people that do go to college start their adult life with tons of student debt. Shouldn't we focus on those things rather than potentially regulating what major people choose?
