A big amount of incorrect statements:

>To scale objects without distortion, they must first be cut into several pieces, then the middle part is scaled, and then the individual layers are stacked together.

False, just drag it from the corner with "shift" and add "alt" if you want it to keep it centered. And if you want to constantly scale up and down an object without distortion just convert it to a smart object.

>There is no way to select hidden objects without actually looking at the layers palette.

False, with "Layer Comps" you can have a view where all the layers are visible and then just select those using left click or right click (for complete list).

> Export individual selections or slices

False, Photoshop have slices since long long time ago and you can just click which of those you want using the "Save for web" dialog.

>Within this panel you have quick access to all optimization options for each individual slice

That sounds more like a bug than a feature; it is harder to maintain and can create perceptible inconsistencies between the image quality of the design (Something more ugly that a JPG with 90% compression is a web page that puts together aesthetically similar elements with different compression )

> Create HTML Mockups: Not available in PS

False, Photoshop can also make the design in html tables... (but that is usually a bad idea in any software)

I am tired of reading this rant; but i just wanted to point out that there are a lot of false statements here.
Views are not measured based on whether or not people watch to the end, if you click on a video a view is counted, whether you watch it for 1 second or 20 minutes is only reflected in the internal Youtube metrics.
Basically he went from "I don't know how to build Eclipse plugins" to "they are too hard to build". I don't know how hard they are to build, but it seems there are some steps missing.

My technical co-founder let me down
I am a programmer and 8 months ago I started working on my own project part-time.
4 months ago I quit my job and focus to my project. A few days later I invited a old co-worker to join me and he did.
Thus these 4 months we are both working on this full time. The problem is that I have finished my part and he has done barely 20% of his part.
We haven't been close for a few years and I believed that his technical skills would be similar to mine but this wasn't the case.
He is far less productive and skilled than I am and he spends less hours on the project.
Now, we are this point that we have half of the product ready (my part) and we are thinking to start a company and advertise it.
We agreed that I'll get a bigger share of the company since it was my idea and I've done more work but I keep having thoughts that
sticking with a bad programmer will end up with me having to do or redo everything thus I'm thinking of breaking it up before we start a company.
The problem is that he has spent 4 months on this and his efforts didn't produce much useful stuff. I feel bad even thinking about telling him to break up...
Do you think I should stick with him and be patient or to break up now and recompense him somehow. But what compensation could I give him for 4 months of writing bad code?
Programming on the road
Completely agree, only problem is that your interest feed relies on the people you subscribe to keep their posts related to the interest you associated them with.

But if the scientists in your NASA circle want to post vacation pictures, you can't filter that out. You can try and get yourself included into their "Space News Only" circle, which would solve the problem, but badgering people who don't know you to do something for you, even little like this, isn't an optimal solution.

Good job on the LTS, Canonical.

I don't understand why they don't make the release cycle longer. Perhap 9 months or a year, or even just one additional month for QA. I first started using Ubuntu, and Linux, when 9.04 came out and it was great. Since then the quality has steadily declined. 9.10 was good too, but ever since 10.04 every release has sucked. They can't even do LTS releases right.

Sorry for ranting, but the Ubuntu team seems to fuck up time after time. Perhaps they should try focus on making their system stable, instead of adding more crap.
Yeah resonances and such would be new, but nothing as exciting as say a charged Higgs. I think they found some previously undiscovered resonance particle at the LHC a few months ago, but it didn't really even make the news outside physics.

Thanks for the link, that was actually really helpful. I wonder why the paper doesn't say anything about if their data would fit a type I or type III charged Higgs. Probably has something to do with whether leptons are considered to be up or down type (?) and thus how the charged Higgses would couple in the given process.

LTS releases are supposed to do this. The six-month releases can be considered, for all intents and purposes related to stability, "testing" releases. The LTS releases are supposed to be stable enough for large-scale rollouts, with three years of desktop and five years of server support. In fact, Canonical upped the ante with 12.04--five years for both the desktop and server versions. Of course, plenty of things are supposed to be.
Twilio is a company that impresses me.

These value statement things, though, don't; in fact, I associate them with the opposite kinds of companies as Twilio.

I'm prepared to learn that this is irrational. Has anyone here worked at a company where the team was improved by a formal statement of values?

I always thought, if we were going to have a list of values, it'd be constrained to values that were head-scratching tradeoffs. "Time to market > quality", or things like that. Which of these values express competition between ideals? What company wouldn't have a "no shenanigans" value? I might be more fascinated by one that had (and justified) a "shenanigans always!" value.
Someday, I hope to do the same! But that's a big chunk to chew. Lately, I've been nibbling starting with covariance matrices, Mahalanobis distance (a "moment measure" if i'm not mistaken, therefore a connection to.. dundudun) and Fisher information.

Isn't this conflating Morgan Stanley (and Nasdaq) with Facebook? One could also blame the media for generating an inordinate amount of hype, and then turning around in a day to call the IPO a failure. But, a failure to whom? Most of what I've read here recently suggests that a successful IPO for a company means leaving as little money on the table as possible, which means a stock price that stays relatively flat (or even goes down a tiny bit). Because everyone expected a pop, the IPO is considered a flop. One could look at the situation from another angle and say that Facebook did what was best for themselves, not the share price – which could be seen as a positive signal for people who don't think that companies should be ruled by the short-term ups and downs of the market. I mean, when the valuation of a company is based on an extremely long outlook and yet-to-be-determined strategies and pivots, what do people expect?

Agreed, but that's what discipline is for. We weren't allowed to do many things in school (including things as simple as wearing a coat) and the discipline system was set up so everyone knew where they stood and the punishments were clear.

Perhaps they have a discipline problem in schools nowadays, but that doesn't have to become a technology problem.

I agree with you that the Getty crawler has access to all the Getty images and can identify non-Getty images. My point is that the watermark is not of much help for this task. On the one hand it is easily misled to find false positives on the other hand it will miss many images which have been altered strongly enough to destroy the watermark.

You are right with your objection that watermark contains the stock number. I don't see however how this can help a crawler to identify a fake stock number. To compare the (possible altered) image with the original we have to use an image hash and then we could have used the image hash in the first place.

It was very tightly delivered. It is pretty amazing that it either is the case or appears that Jeremy knows exactly what slide is going to follow the current one, sentence to sentence. For a one-hour-ish talk, that means many slides last less than thirty seconds.

To whomever changed the title to eliminate the phrase "new physics": that wasn't in any way sensational or editorial. This is a common phrase within the physics community. From the conclusions part of the paper:

>The results presented here disagree with the SM at the 3.4σ level. Together with the measurements by the Belle Collaboration, and the sizable difference between the measured and predicted branching fraction of B− → τ−ντ [35–39], this could be an indication of new physics processes affecting decays with a τ lepton in the final state.

I truly do not understand the value of "Corporate Core Value" statements. (OK, #5, "No Shenanigans", those are words to live by.)

Personal, Human core values. The things that keep us in line, help us to foster healthy relationships, and build civilizations are important.

But what are corporate "core values"?

I'm always a little unnerved when a company (spontaneously, or even worse, with the guidance of a "guru") feels the need to embrace this particular brand of corporate banality.

It's advertisement wrapped in altruism, and that's in vogue right now. While I'm sure it's well-intentioned, and I don't mean this as an indictment, it feels cynical.

> When you are done with the ‘quick-fix’ branch, you can just remove it, and nobody has to know it existed

Well, I actually want to know about branches. If someone finishes work on some branch, he'll just close it after merge. Also, "hg branch" command will sort out non-merged branches from merged. This is so handy.

One thing that bugs me in git branches is that only gitk shows branches (in git's strange way, when topmost commit has tons of branches assigned to it), while in mercurial nearly all clients show branch info beside commit, since it's a core feature and it's stored in commit.

I am now working with git for >6 month (after >1 year work with hg) and every time I feel some mess with branches/merges it feels very uncomfortable.

So, for non-huge projects, hg branches are super-great, imo.

I believe programmers et al. should attempt to play more futball. Just play through the pain of it. You will quickly develop a grammar (like in vim!) which helps with establishing Flow.

Do not work out for your "health" or by dietary theories (which are largely based on Western dietary habits anyway). Work out to understand how Flow can be expressed beyond typing at a keyboard. (Consider that in most contexts where we talk about "Flow," studies involve sedentary activities: playing video games, typing/programming, flying a simulator or an actual air-vehicle, driving, etc.) What is with the given assumption that Flow involves Hands/Brain? Why not Feet/Brain? Imagine being able to establish Flow immediately while engaged in a physically exhausting activity. How far will you go? For how long will you play?

In short time, your body will naturally develop into the kind of fitness appropriate to the limits of your mental limitations. Moreover, you may develop a grammar for your feet which is analogous to the grammar of your hands (in the context of a keyboard -- consider that we all type relatively uniquely to ourselves, a typolect, if you will, despite "Standardized" keyboard formats; in the context of vim -- verbs, nouns, modifiers, sentences, paragraphs, etc.): Foot Grammar (might allow for "propositions" of the foot which demand a fitness level (performance criterion) to express them.

You type through the pain of the monitor against your eyes. You type and think through fluorescent lighting. Carpal Tunnel. Etc. This is why we suggest getting up and stretching, walking about, to combat these minor physical impairments which involve attrition over time. So many physical analogues exist which naturally make playing futball a sensible, and moreover social (!), activity for programmars.

I type through wrist pain and learn a new framework. I kick through foot pain and learn a new tactile passing system.
This apparently seems to equate VC returns with scientific progress. I think I need to see more support for that link, and I'd like to have seen discussion of (possible?) alternatives for supporting development, whether they exist now or have been proposed.
Works fine here. As always, hardware support is tricky.
Frequentist statistics is about determining the repeated sampling properties of a procedure/statistic/estimator. It's about evaluation not estimation. "Optimizing \theta" or whatever you're envisioning is just one possible procedure you might be interested in evaluating. You can use the repeated sampling properties of your procedure to do frequentist inference or to evaluate other properties like unbiasedness, consistency, risk, etc. Typically the goal is to find procedures that have "good" frequentist (repeated sampling) properties. Most Bayesian-inclined statisticians would tend to argue that many frequentist properties are not important to applied data analysis or optimal decision making.
Love it! . . . But . . . I have Chrome set to delete all cookies whenever I close my browser and to save session cookies otherwise. So this extension works as long as the browser hasn't been closed once. But after the browser is closed and cookies deleted, the extension forgets what has been read when HN is reopened.
That graph does not imply anything about long term trends. It shows that there was a bubble in the late 90s, during which valuations spiked, and that the bubble caused a lot of lame people to start VC funds, which brought down average returns.
If I want coffee at home, I make it at home.

If I want to get coffee someplace (and in my area, for better or worse Starbucks is nearly the only option), then I'll go somewhere because I want to see something besides the same four walls and my lovely family.

Paying coffeehouse prices plus a convenience fee just to sit at home and save myself the few minutes it would take to make coffee seems like it will have a very small target market, at best.

He's got a good idea but has summed it up not only incorrectly but in exact contradiction to the actual truth.

Taking himself seriously is precisely what he IS doing, by recognizing that in order to actually succeed at becoming more fit he must take into account certain facts about his own nature.

It is the person who tries to (say) mindlessly copy Arnold S. who is not taking himself seriously, because by mindlessly copying Arnold's methods he is not taking into account what methods are appropriate to himself; instead, he's only taking into account what methods were appropriate to Arnold. I.e., he'd not be taking himself seriously.
If that were the case, then one would not expect any serious changes to be made in the actual final release from the one that precedes it, as the changes being tested by the six-month period get locked in as "this definitly worked". As that is obviously not the case, either the release process is flawed or your premise is incorrect. In fact, it seems more like the cycle is simply "don't make us support forever every single release", not "let's take a year and a half to test these changes before committing to them (which, to be clear, I'm fine with, although in practice it has meant that I always upgrade away from LTS anyway as it is often less stable, in a "will it lock up on me" sense, than the subsequent releases).
The real problem here is that the LTS cycle is synched with the six-month release cycle; so the LTS is simultaneously a "new" six-month release. It might make sense to say that the Even.04 releases are the "LTS beta" or maybe even the "LTS RC", and then make the real LTS release be Even.07 or so.
