Another alternate moral: Something that seems like a very minor patch-level change which just fixes a bug and doesn't affect your API actually can break running production code.

Many people like to pretend that they can follow a discipline like Semantic Versioning (http://semver.org/). But minor changes like this can cause subtle bugs when you are upgrading between patch-level versions of a component that you're working with.
Thanks for your good answer! Quantum theory is really strange and amazing.

> However, I'll definitely wait for the first real-world reviews to learn whether ICS finally does away with the infuriating stalls and input lags that have plagued all of my previous android devices ...

I'm really hoping the new hardware acceleration stuff will help a lot. I think I read somewhere they also tweaked MotionEvent handling to decrease input latency (though I can't find the link for the life of me).

From the review:

"As far as phone performance is concerned, however, the Galaxy Nexus feels blazingly, stupidly fast to me. Touch response is excellent on the phone — everything reacts quickly to your movements. Homescreen scrolling was snappy, moving into and out of apps was instantaneous, swiping through long lists was stutter free, and web browsing (even on heavy pages like ours) was super speedy."

and...

"I want to note that moving around all of these screens is buttery smooth. There's no lag, no stutter. Animations are fluid, and everything feels cohesive and solid."
I have setup a treadmill with an xbox 360, cable, and a dvd player in front of it. I only run when I'm playing intense shooters like Call of Duty. Mostly I walk while playing longer single player games or watching dvds from netflix. I actually had to get rid of my couch to make room for this so if I want to veg out in front of the tv I have to be moving.
I don't know how much weight loss I can attribute to this but when I do it consistently I sleep much better, am more relaxed and have better digestion. And I don't feel like playing video games once I'm done - so it really does kill two birds with one stone.

I built a table from Ikea that I had a laptop on ... I liked it but I could only use the computer when walking and then there wasn't enough room to run anymore. Also I only surfed the web and ripped cds when I had the computer setup. I didn't do any serious work but I could see myself getting into that. I think I would want to use the big tv for a monitor and a wireless keyboard/mouse.

I agree with the above comments about diet for weight loss. I'm trying to eat vegan for a while and I have noticed an immediate improvement in my blood sugar and how I feel. It is as if a whole body inflammation has cleared up.
I have very basic physic knowledge, and little time. I'm quite interested, however, to know how they synchronized their timers since the Neutrino speed is faster than light. Anyone has a short explanation or an article for that?
Middle aged people with deskjobs being overweight and implementing small changes in lifestyle is not exactly newsworthy.
Every idea is math, even ideas for physical devices, as long as it is well-defined. If it's not well-defined, then it's ambiguous, and probably shouldn't be patented.
it quite different from my experience, I was using myeclipse + flex plugin. I remember that myeclipse hangs every 20 minutes, and that happen not only on my PC, that happen to all my teammates PC, while developing Flex, and it work OK when we're developing java backend.
Granick sold out a long time ago. She works for HBGary now. If I recall correctly the whole e-mail dump revealed her to be the backstabbing twit she is.
They've almost always been on the same GS scale as almost every other federal employee. $141k seems high from what I remember, but the locality adjustment may top out around there.
What's that you say? A new study overturning old physics?

I bet $200 that the new result won't pan out.

It's more likely they found a particle that travels back in time than a particle that goes faster than light.
While you are right that the people working for a corporation should act as human beings, not some kind of soulless aliens, the reality is a pretty simple one ... a corporation is a complex system in which the whole really is bigger than the sum of the parts.

This complex system is goal oriented towards making more and more profits - and the trouble is Groupthink happens. Let me quote Wikipedia on this:

the desire for harmony in a decision-making
group overrides a realistic appraisal of
alternatives

That's right, it is in our nature to behave irrational as part of bigger groups, which sometimes makes people do completely stupid things ... how do you think group suicides are possible?

And in corporations, because of inertia it is really hard for individuals inside it to steer it off the wrong path, especially since such individuals also have their own problems to worry about, like building a career or paying their monthly mortgage or paying for their child's private school. Instead, they end up getting assimilated in the hive-mind, which is a powerful force. Sometimes corporations do change drastically, but it starts from the top, most likely from the CEO. But not even a CEO can steer a company unless she's a force of nature, mostly because a CEO doesn't get elected unless she can promise ... more profits.

Basically corporations are inherently evil and should be treated as such. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen and the only reasonable things that you can do as an individual is to (1) fight against such legislation + (2) vote with your wallet.

And I don't know what other people will do about SOPA, but my intent is to not pay for music ever again. Fuck iTunes. And even though I have a monthly habit of going to my local movie theater, I'll never again rent or pay for a home movie again. I work too hard for my money and the RIAA and MPAA of the world can kiss my ass.
He said a new particle though. So something other than the neutrinos themselves, I suppose?
> Instead I bought a “TrekDesk” on Amazon and a cheap treadmill

If you can get by with a cheap treadmill, you aren't fat.

When I was shopping for a treadmill as a fat guy, every cheap treadmill I looked at had a weight limit low enough that if I was under that I wouldn't need the damn treadmill!

BTW, as someone who has twice lost a lot of weight, kept it of for a significant time, and then put it back, here's the most important lesson I learned: it is all about habit. Both times that I became fat again were after changes in life circumstances that changed my routine significantly.

For instance, the first time was after I left a steady job with a reasonable sized company (Unix hacker at Interactive Systems Corporation) to go work for a friend's small start up. At Interactive, my schedule was quite regular, and it was easy to maintain good eating habits. Essentially, I did not have to think about my weight because my habits were right.

The small startup was a consulting firm, specializing in what he called "crisis intervention programming". Typical job: someone is developing a new intelligent disk controller. Their firmware is a disaster, behind schedule and over budget, and pretty much not salvageable. The hardware side of the project may or may not also be buggy and behind schedule. We'd come in and take a contract to design new firmware from scratch and implement it, often on a schedule that would meet their original deadline...and our bid would be a fixed cost bid with penalties if we were late.

This was a very busy and stressful (but fun!) line of work, with many long days and nights of writing low level code. I simply completely got out of the habit of doing any food preparation myself. Say it's 11 PM and I'm finally getting around to dinner--what am I going to do? Go home, cook something, eat it, clean up, and then head back to the office? Or call the pizza place two buildings over that is open till midnight, order a pizza, pick it up, bring it to my desk, and eat it while cranking out another few hundred lines of code? The latter, of course.
Physical devices can be modeled with math, they are not however mathematics itself.

"Programming languages" are in reality nothing more than fancy mathematical notations. Conversion to more traditional notations, such as lambda calculus, is so trivial that any computer science undergrad can do it.

To put it bluntly, algorithms are no less math than the Pythagorean Theorem.
Such feelings are natural. It used to bother me a lot too that others were getting laid, and I wasn't. Then, after some trial-and-error, I was able to "crack" the womens' code, in the sense that I was able to understand where they were coming from, and be very comfortable around them. That led to the pendulum swinging (pardon the pun) to the other extreme: I was getting more tail than any of the jocks I knew. It helped that I got into a better shape, dressed better and was able to hold a conversation with a woman without stuttering.

Just like any other complex system, it takes time and effort to figure out women (and I say this with all the respect to women, from a male nerd's viewpoint). It also involves a lot of failure and disappointment in the beginning; but one does (and must) get used to that in order to make progress. Don't let rejection dampen your enthusiasm.
There's nothing mysterious about weight loss.

1. Take in fewer calories.

2. Do some exercise with weights to prevent muscle loss and bone weakening.

That's about it. The secret is finding a "less calories" approach that works for you. The Hackers Diet appeals to lots of nerds, but I've seen people do well with Weight Watchers, Paleo, Keto and Intermittent Fasting. Do what works for you.

Those of you on reddit should look at /r/fitness and /r/loseit.

edit: I'd be interested in rebuttals, rather than downvoting. Entirely too much downvoting in this thread already, IMO.
It isn't just Stanford classes--the SAAS class is from Berkeley. However, having a hub of such classes from different universities would be really awesome.
That it's a matter of science and not government.
Ask HN: Buying a wireless N Router with USB and Wireless Print Server?
I'm looking to gift a new router for my Startup family with my little savings. I'm low on budget. Currently we are having a Basic Netgear wgr614 Wireless G-Router.

I need a very customizable router i.e supporting Tomato/dd-wrt and Wireless N Surfing, has Qos Bandwidth Management, and has USB ports - for Centrally sharing Portable HDD's also USB ports for a Print Server. Will save lots of time to my startup.

I can only think of Asus N16 router, which has all this options available. Any other router suggestions? Cheaper and more versatile?
Roughly, they used gps signals to synchronize two accurate clocks, one each at the source and the destination.

For what it's worth, this part of the first paper is pretty accessible - at least, as to how they did it - it's more difficult to poke holes in how accurate it was :)
Bodybuilders love low-carb ketogenic-style diets to lean-out and they are def not low on muscle. Jamie Lewis at chaosandpain.blogspot.com is currently breaking powerlifting records on a diet of little more than protein shakes and dry-rubbed beef ribs. Dave Asprey at bulletproofexec.com has a no-exercise six-pack with a claimed diet of almost no carbs and 2000-3000 calories of pure fat a day.

Wikipedia's insulin page even explains how the body stores excess sugars as adipose tissue and later burns that fat for energy.
There are good reasons to introduce carbs before, during and after training for some exercises, but cutting down on them the rest of the time isn't going to kill him.

| Software is math

I strongly disagree. Consider an event-driven presentation and interface layer over a database backend: a very common bit of software. You can't even explain that meaningfully in terms of math, let alone say it is math.

Some software has good math-based explanations, but lots of it doesn't. Saying software is math is rather like saying it's all ones and zeros. True in a weak sense, but it doesn't capture much that is meaningful. Often, a piece of software is better understood as a machine, which is a traditional domain of patents.

edit: I dislike software patents because they are often granted on stupid things in practice. This is probably due to abuse of the system by applicants, which is a response to the lack of expertise and bad previous judgement by the patent office, which seems to invite such abuse.

edit 2: the software patent situation is very hard to change now, since Big Software lobbies very hard to prevent that.

But software isn't math.
How about a simple app that:
1) prompts for a word
2) returns X number of definitions (fetched from somewhere?) in a cleanly formatted manner
3) stores these definitions under your account history in a sort-able list (chronologically, part-of-speech, etc.)

Basically, a definition-fetching app that stores the definitions in a clean and aesthetic manner.

I tried making this as my first web app using the Google Dictionary API, but they disabled it just as I had something going in Flask. I keep trying to get back to making it but I've got so much to learn. Maybe I should just...... FIND A WAY. OR MAKE ONE???

I'd use it everyday, especially if it was a browser addon :)
For me the best part of the Hackers Diet is that it points out that you can view fat loss as a control system. Your control input is calories, your monitoring variable is weight (measured daily). It's easy to control the system by moving inputs up and down a few hundred calories and then watching the daily trend.

For me personally, the diet approach that's sticking is "Cheat Mode"[1], which is a variety of intermittent fasting. The short version is: no breakfast, low-carb lunch, whatever I want for dinner so long as there's plenty of meat. Simple and effective.

A common misconception is that you need lots of carbs if you work out. I've done up tp 10+ hours of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training per week on a low carb diet, and felt great, so it worked fine for me.
Possibly as opposed to 'verbs' (e.g. processes, mutations, transformations, open-ended mappings - descriptions of what is being done)
Underwear For Men
What I want to create is a mobile app, nothing fancy, and see if I can sell the mobile app. Because it's such a simple idea, that's where my fear comes from.

If it is a simple idea, and is making money, it will be copied. There's a notion in business called "barriers to entry", and it sounds like you are entering a niche where there are none. You should get comfortable with this notion; it's not the outsourced developer you have to fear.
I can sympathize the side claiming that the differentiation between interpretative probability and physical probability can be a huge thing, so that "wavefunction is a real physical object" makes a lot sense. Yes, finding the inconsistency from interpretative model is great, but insisting that the alternative model is itself a physical reality is another issue.

All probabilitic objects derive its existential validity from the identity of indiscernible. We employ probabilistic tools from the belief that what we observe in quantum level are indeed identicals. However, the indiscernibility isn't equal to identity, even if the tools based on the assumption succeed in many aspects of how the supposed identities interact. We would never know each fundamental physical unit is truly identical unless we uncover the fundamental totality of quantum particles. Before we grasp the totality of the physical fundamentals, no probability is physical yet. And I think humanity would never know it. There's a limit in our knowledge and the true identity is beyond our reach.

"It's two days old, there isn't a lot of software written for it yet. That's not surprising since most developers just got theirs two days ago."

So it's unacceptable that the iPad doesn't come preinstalled with all the things that you expect but it's fine that the Fire can be currently gimped by a lack of third party apps?

The point is that the stuff you were complaining about is available and out there for iOS. Whether it's pre-installed or third-party is pretty irrelevant.

Well, yes, that's my point. We don't need more CSS supersets, we need fewer; one standard one, that is called "CSS" (or "CSS4" or whatever). That, then, can be the target for frameworks like Compass, instead of them targeting CSS 2.1/3 or targeting only a single CSS superset like Less, Sass, or now Closure.
Also, completely separate thought, but I think the reddit crowd would love this if you could draw rage faces.

I suspect most of the buyers of the Kindle Fire are going to be 1st time tablet users unlike Marco who bought it just to compare against his iPad. I have been using the Fire for the last 2 days and I felt that it has really nailed what a tablet means to me - a consumption device. I started reading my books, watching tv shows, listening to music as soon I switched on the device. The browsing of some websites (cough techcrunch) was surprising quick too. Some of the software and hardware quirks were annoying but I didn't notice because it opened a new way for connecting with content for me....and I paid just 200bucks! There is a lot of focus on usability even compared to my Galaxy Tab with the Honeycomb build. The Kindle Fire is truly an equal to the iPad in an entirely different space -- inexpensive, smaller form-factor, relatively good content & ecosystem -- a space where Apple does not necessarily want to play in.
If there's one thing that all the research being done suggests, it's that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight maintenance. "Just eat less", or "move more" are solutions suggested by many people, but it's not that simple.

Some bodies naturally store excess calories as fat, while in others the body ups its metabolism to try and prevent this. At the same time, diet certainly plays a role - some forms of carbs can be converted into body fat much more easily than other energy sources (the fat that you eat, for example, doesn't get converted into body fat nearly as efficiently as sugar, for example). And of course, once you've been fat, even if you lose the weight you will have to work harder to keep it off. --There was an NPR story about a study that if you have two people of similar weight and muscle mass, one of whom has lost a lot of weight, the person who lost the weight may have to eat as much as 500 fewer calories per day to maintain his or her weight. It's no wonder how few people manage to keep weight off.

Personally, I've been struggling with my weight since I was 9 years old. I used to be skinny, but I managed to catch hepatitis, and after that I started gaining weight. One of my doctors told me this wasn't that surprising as hepatitis can often cause drastic changes to your metabolism. At my heaviest I was around 290lb, but I'm down under 190, and have been as low as 175 - it's not easy, though. I try hard to watch what I eat (not always successfully, obviously). I used to do high intensity workouts of at least 1 hour 6 times a week - in 2010 I was at the gym more than 300 times. I suffered a setback earlier this year that accounted for a fair bit of the weight gain back from 175 to almost 190 when I caught mono and was advised by my doctor not to work out for 6 weeks, and lingering fatigue issues meant there were many weeks where I only managed to make it to the gym 2 or 3 times a week. I'm finally back up to 5 workouts a week near my old intensity, but it'll still take months of keeping this up to get my weight back down. I'd love to make it down to about 160-170, but that won't be easy.
Yes, totally. Once per day is a ridiculous figure. Let's say "less than one time per interview-difficulty problem", and the numbers still hold.

The Hacker's Diet, with it's heavy emphasis on calorie counting, is not sustainable. As you mention, there are too many times when it's very hard to accurately determine the number of calories of a meal - just about anytime you don't make the food yourself or buy it prepackaged with calorie information.

I did use it once, to drop down from 290 to 220, but that was by limiting myself to 1200 calories a day and very carefully counting everything that I ate. I never went back to it - even after climbing back up to 260 and then dropping down to about 175.
Mmm, yes. However, the policy server runs on a different port. So you can still use an unmodified ircd, for instance, and connect directly to it from Flash as long as the policy server is running.

It's a different way of getting around the security problems, and it's a lot less intrusive than the WebSockets way of sticking an HTTP header in front of the whole thing, which would actually require modifying the server service instead of just running one piece of additional software.
