That wouldn't be picking and choosing parts to interpret literally. Even though some parts aren't interpreted literally(the creation story in genesis for example) the message about morality still holds(otherwise let's just discard the whole thing and burn it, it has no content).

And while I don't want to discuss this issue here(we've veered way off topic) let me just state that "does not think gay marriage should be legal" does not equate to "homophobic bigotry". You can have gay friends, have no problem with them as people, but still believe that marriage is something that has a very clear definition(sacred bond between husband and wife, for life, for the purpose of building family) which doesn't include same-sex relationships.
Yes, I was rather pleasantly surprised with the Pivotaltracker API. I managed to get it integrated in our hour registration within 30 minutes.

Check; https://www.pivotaltracker.com/help/api

All calls have ready cURL examples you can copy/paste and try. Prototyping is fast.

And no OAuth. OAuth could be good if it were standardized (and thus would work with a single library without any extra tinkering); it's horrible all over the place. I understand this fanatical obsession with security and such, but just make me login and get a token back.

Anyway; Hooray for Pivotal! (Again)
Yes exactly. I use LO because I use Linux and don't want to pay for Office on Windows until/unless I have a requirement. But I detest using LO, and your menu example characterizes my overall experience.

Chasing Office compatibility is a losing bet. I think they'd do much better tracking Office at somwhere between 50 and 80%, with sensible default/fallbacks, and spending the bulk of their time making LO the absolute best office solution on Earth.

tl;dr If you try your hardest to be like Office, you're going to suck worse than Office.
With advertising and spec sheets like this, you're right. But if they tried a little, their demographic could be massive.

We did something similar for a search webpage. But with some query it could take too much and the slowing down of the bar filling wasn't well met with both our users and our boss.

We changed that with bogus writing under the progress bar.
The first bar had "searching" under it, and usually that was enough.

If it was still searching after the bar was at 100%, the bar would start the animation again and we would change the text with random stuff like ("building indexes","fetching images","generating tables",etc...).
Yeah, that's what I want, another way for people in a conversation to not pay attention to me.

I agree that this approach (caching hashcodes for immutable objects) will probably save some calculation at the cost of increasing memory usage, as is usual for memoization techniques. Without any empirical measurements, though, this article isn't very useful. Compiler optimizations aside, the internals of the hashmap implementation may render this tweak moot.

Movies do things for visual impact.

And audio impact.

They're not reporting fact. They're weaving a fantasy.

Whatever your field is, if you want to got stark raving mad, watch a movie made about it.

At the very least, the people writing, acting, and directing your world have little or no idea of what it's really like. And even if they do, they're taking deliberate liberties to embellish or interpret the realm to make it more telegenic.

An interesting exception: movies looking in on themselves -- at movies, TV, and entertainment. There's frequently embellishment, still (people and events are more glamorous / beautiful / hip than they are in reality), but there's often a lot of real insight.

Are the companies pushing the lucid dreaming glasses nowadays the same people that sold them in the old "Johnson-Smith Things You Never Knew Existed" catalogs when I was young? I distinctly remember wanting to buy those, but I always blew my money on the other stuff in the catalog (fake dog poop, a "Hoof Arted" t-shirt)
Testing Java Code in Maths Libraries
I've been able to get poor-quality "wake-induced lucid dreams" reasonably regularly lately by waking myself with an alarm 3 or 4 hours before my usual wakeup time, walking around for ten to thirty minutes so I won't immediately fall back to sleep and then getting back to bed and meditating while I wait to fall asleep. More often than not, I go straight into a dream state without the in-between stage of deep unconscious sleep, and remain lucid.

Amusingly, these types of lucid dreams are basically false awakenings with my brain still running on the assumption that I'm lying in my bed in my bedroom, so they kind of resemble the stereotypical astral projection. I'm guessing something like this is what's really going on with the people who claim they can astral project.

I'm not doing the thing all the time since it's hard to keep up a regular sleep cycle while doing it, and the dreams have so far mostly been too short to be much fun. Still, it's a nice proof-of-concept.
I bet you if you just stubbornly enough decide to lucid dream every night it won't be long before you have lucid dreams semi regularly. But I don't recommend that, see my other posts in this discussion as to why.
I don't disagree with your statements, but I don't think they're the most important factor. 3D printing will never be free, but it doesn't need to be. It only needs to be cost competitive with purchasing the physical good from the traditional provider.

There are still a lot of parallels with digital media, because the cost for a media provider to duplicate digital media is the same as it is for a consumer: free. The costs to the media provider are in production, marketing, and promotion. Additionally, media rights holders sell their content at a healthy profit (far exceeding the total costs of all the production cost components) because they're able to artificially limit supply. Scarcity is enforced only by legal frameworks, not by limits of production. The consumer avoids these costs by duplicating the content on their own, which just happens to be free. That is the disruption.

The same factors apply to many physical goods. The significant costs are in design, marketing, and logistics (moving things around). Manufacturing the physical product is frequently an equal or smaller cost component in the greater scheme of things. This is especially true of simple physical goods that are sold at a high price because of trademark exclusivity or brand value (action figures are a great example). The consumer can avoid the design, marketing, and trademark/brand costs by 3D printing their own physical product. Logistical costs are offset somewhat by the fact that bulk material is easier and cheaper to transport than a finished product.

This mechanism of disruption -- avoidance of major cost components through self-production -- is very similar to the one we see in digital media. 3D printing costs don't need to drop to free, they only need to beat the retail price, which includes many non-manufacturing related costs.

I've been saying the same things to @waze on Twitter today - it's amazing how much of a disconnect there appears to be between their developers and how driving works.

The proof of the education shouldn't be passing some test or getting a certificate, it should be that you'll be required to use that knowledge in your job. If you "completed" the education and aren't able to do the work that requires it, then you didn't really understand the material.

At that point, it's up to your employer how they want to proceed (re-education, termination, etc).
What about the depressing Gender Gap in the Olympic Boxing competitions?!?

Some people just don't get it, that men and women have different interests (some of which are most definitely caused by nature, not society, e.g. different hormonal levels in our bodies), and therefore choose different options in life.
We started using our logo about a year ago (which came from a great collaboration with the awesome Jackson Fish Market team). It's kind of unfortunate, but these things happens. We registered our trademarks quite some time ago, including the single logo. So, no, we did not consult with them nor they with us. We think they are good folks, and are inclined to live-and-let-live. So for me, as long as we are in very different spaces (which we are) I see it as mostly a non-issue.

I would add that part of the reason I think Haskell has supplanted Lisp is that so many of the concepts of Lisp have been absorbed into mainstream languages that the distinctiveness is greatly reduced. Macros are still mindblowing, but much less so if you've used Ruby or Python or Perl than if you're a pure C programmer. In 20 years, I suspect modern Haskell will be "less mindblowing" for the same reason. It's not that Lisp has gotten less good or anything, it is that it has mostly won.

You miss probably the major disruption that 3D printing brings to manufacturing, it turns it into a software problem. We've seen what happens when something is reduced to bits that can be manipulated by software, and now we are going to watch it happen to the physical world.

What happens when you don't just torrent a model to print, but you distribute your job to hundreds of printers? We have all seen what happens when you network a bunch of cheaper and lower quality things relative to a monolithic system, and I can see this happening with digital fabrication as well.

I wish computers were omitted entirely sometimes - they are pointless props, and just age the movie. Couldn't they just say - 'I searched for blah'?

Phil Libin on Product development
>This could be the "flying car" of the next 100 years that never fulfills its promise.

Although I understand your point here, I thought I'd point out that this is a weak analogy because the problem with the flying car isn't that it's not technologically possible (it is, relatively trivially these days in fact) the problem is that it's a stupid idea. People have bad enough accidents when dealing with the two dimensions on a road, there's no way to make the technology safe enough to achieve the kind of market penetration the traditional automobile has. Without that the market forces for scaling the infrastructure necessary to produce and maintain such a 'fleet' don't exist.

>While you declare it a "moral imperative" and we bend all laws and societal rules to accommodate it, what suffers?

Those that want to continue to rely on a market model that is obsoleted by shifting the means of productions to individuals.

>What great technologies and solutions are killed

Those that are not pursued because there is not enough money in them under the new system. As opposed to those that are not pursued because there is not enough money in them in the existing system.

>What of our liberties go away because you have a vision?

The ability to make a bet that your creative work will be a success without the danger of someone in a better position to make money from the idea doing so. In fact we are already seeing the beginnings of a return to the modes of commerce prior to intellectual property laws such as an artisan being commissioned ahead of time to produce something by way of tools like Kickstarter which finally attempt to solve the discrepancy between our ability to produce and distribute and our ability to communicate.

>my interest is in protecting the free market principles that have consistently created the greatest good for the most people

My interest is in creating even greater good for even more people. Now, I'm not so arrogant to claim I know these new modes of commerce are better outright, I'm just saying that we don't actually know and we should give them their fair shot. Why should we settle when we could do even better?

wow did I get off topic and start ranting or what?

I definitely agree with you about the benefits that seem to be tacked on. foosball table, weekly movies, free beverage, etc etc... to be are almost useless. I'm applying for a job to work, not to hang out at my buddies apartment. The only important benefits, to me at least, are the following:

* health benefits - You'd think that'd be covered in Canada, but you still need coverage for stuff like dental, prescriptions, and what not. It's surprising how many It companies DON'T offer any form of this at all.
* vacation time - two weeks is nice, but if you want to attract a top shelf candidate, offer three or even four. Being able to enjoy a week away from the office is worth more then the all the free pop in the fridge.

NOw I'm not saying that I'd be against having free pop in the fridge of what not, but there nice IF those benefits that I've listed are provided in a substantial quantity. Have 100% coverage and four weeks and IMO you'd have qualified candidates knocking on your door right quick.

Show HN: PandaStream redesign
The question posed was "how do they differ?" not "how important is that difference?". If you ask me the latter, I'd say that for many domains it's not that important (see the caveat below.) On the other hand, for Google and Facebook and similar companies it's certainly very important, which is why all their interviews are mainly about how well you can reason about algorithms and data structures.

Caveat: These problems might not happen often in less data intensive domains but, when they do happen, they are certainly very important in my experience.

By some random whim, I decided to look at an old presentation that I did for a local meetup on mobile application monetization. At the end of the presentation, I clicked on a similar presentation on the same topic to get a feel of the landscape.

Then, I noticed that this Microsoft presentation put together by a Microsoft employee is mostly a complete word-for-word rip-off of my presentation — he even stole my charts verbatim.

Personally, I don't care that he did it - I mean, a simple mention would've been nice, right? Food for thought.
