short anecdote, when my wife and I had our first child I was meticulous about understanding the whole 'kid' thing, I analyzed, I tested, I reasoned, and I generally felt by the time my daughter was 2 that I pretty much had the whole kid thing figured out. If they cry under these conditions it means this, if this condition that other thing, etc. I generously shared my hard won expertise on how one goes about dealing with and raising a child. Then my second one was born, and she was different right out of the womb. And not a little different, a lot different. All these things I "knew" weren't right at all, I in fact didn't know anything about "raising kids" I only knew about "raising this particular kid" and sadly that wasn't transferable between even my own kids! From that point on I kept my kid raising advice to a minimum. I realized how different everyone is.

Much is the same in marriages. People bring different things to the marriage, expectations, previous history, needs for affinity, needs for control, desires to control, what ever. And because their are two people involved, and those people change over time, they require constant communication and realignment. I have friends who are still married as I am, and friends who are divorced, and friends who aren't married but should be, and are married but probably should not be. No single thing causes it to fail, its a combination of things. One thing seems to keep them going though and that is communication. Learn to talk about anything with your spouse, and I mean anything. That isn't a guarantee of success of course, but there is ample evidence that "problems" occur when one part of the relationship thinks there is a problem and the other person either doesn't think its a problem or doesn't even know about it.
Giving Yourself Advice
I wonder if there isn't another reason for couples that marry before living together to last longer.

For example, maybe those that don't cohabit are stricter or more religious, which view divorce as a sin, and are thus less likely to divorce.
>> Commitment has made a difference. In interviews with some women who have been married 20 years or more after living with their spouse first, firm belief in a future together was a common theme.

Personal opinion: I think this is the common thread. If living together is seen as a "trial period", it could ingrain the idea that "he/she is not committed to me, and will stay only as long as I please him/her" into the relationship. That could lead to long-term mistrust.

In my own marriage, my wife and I continually express our determination to stay married until death. This makes being vulnerable much easier, because I don't fear rejection. Indeed, I'd say that's the biggest difference for me between marriage and dating.

Yeah, some of the recommendations are specific to his application and business, generalizing poorly to other startups.

For tech startups actually doing real tech development, like a new class of distributed database, the advice about (1) hiring freelancers and (2) needing front-end dev skills is obviously incorrect. Sometimes, the best first hire is a very senior software engineer that has the domain expertise and experience to lay the groundwork for a code base. The parts you can outsource effectively are the parts that are not core to your business success and you have to be able to identify which parts are which.

A first hire should be able to lead a role working on a core part of the business, whatever that business may be. The competent execution of the core part of the business will be a primary determinant of success.
I visited a large data center about five years ago, and they had a power plant on site. However, California has state regulations that they have to use a percentage of power from the utility company (i.e.-they can't go completely off grid).
Thanks for the link, however I'll go ahead and bet that most of those Facebook divorces actually go down to a more important underlying problem than the use of the social network. I'd really like to know how many cases has Facebook been blame for where one spouse just happened to find out via Facebook the other was cheating.

This, the article does not explain clearly. Getting a divorce because you got back in touch with a high-school sweetheart then blaming Facebook for it is like blaming the bar where you hooked up with a drunk chick for ruining your relationship.

People are to blame for divorces.

Meddik - Rails developers

We're a venture-backed, three-month old startup in New York City that aims to revolutionize the way people discover health information online. Meddik empowers users by providing a health-specific platform where users can ask questions, share content, and learn from the collective experience and insight of people who’ve been there.

We’re looking for someone to craft an experience that users will love and break the tradition of health sites being clunky and impossible to use. As one of the first few hires, you will play an important role in helping define company culture and giving feedback in building out the team.

We're looking for:

Back-end engineer

- Test-driven development, Ruby on Rails

- Experience with databases and data architecture is a plus

- Experience or willingness to learn NLP and machine learning is a plus

Front-end engineer

- Responsive design

- Javascript, CSS

- Experience with creating original artwork is a plus

To apply, please send a resume, descriptions of your past favorite projects, and a short email about yourself to jobs@meddik.com
This was 100% deliberate. It's just some spin. The post gets more attention this way, which makes it more likely that the underlying problem will be fixed somewhat sooner.

Besides, with a headline like this it will also get automatic upvotes by everyone who dislikes Apple.
It's true that Apple might decide the bug isn't worth fixing, but then they should say that explicitly, so that devs don't have to file the bug a zillion times and wonder where it is on Apple's priority list. The issue here is really the lack of transparency. Bug reports shouldn't go into a black hole.

It's also not clear to me why you think no one else is affected by this bug. How many duplicates from other reporters have been closed? We have no way to know. Presumably others, though-- not every instance of an issue results in a front-page HN article.
Dealing with Apple can be frustrating sometimes. The Mac App Store review times are ridiculously long nowadays: https://devforums.apple.com/thread/154948?tstart=0 (developer account needed)

2 - 3 weeks seems to be the norm. That's pretty frustrating if you consider that people's income depends on that. And that developers pay $100 + 30% share for this.
Apologies for my apparent flippancy - I do not intend to offend. It's difficult to make the point in such a small space with so few words, I was attempting to address a larger picture. Allo Allo was a British satirical comedy concerning the Nazi occupation in France (hence the tagline 'I shall say this only once'). I suggest, very sadly, that you are wrong. Violent people are demonstrably not sane or rational - especially when under orders. I promise that I understand your concerns lie closer to home at the moment. But people.never forget.
Btw Ryan, what's your view on running a business in the US compared to UK - is it easier in one or another, cheaper in one or the other?

His comment does not imply they did not go through.
you know, I use the GPL v2 for most of my code for reasons of history of projects, and the 2-clause BSD license where I can. I refuse to use the GPL v3.

As for what Microsoft did, I think the key case would be Chamberlain v. Skylink. There is going to be no DMCA issue with breaking secure boot because you can't show that this is access control in the way the DMCA intends it. If you can jailbreak your ARM tablet that will be seen as fair use even if it involves literal copying (see the US Copyright Offices opinion on fair use regarding jailbreaking iPhones by copying/modifying iOS). If not, at least there has been enough press for you to consider yourself fairly warned in advance. IOW, it's a technical measure, not one backed by force of law.

I don't mind the GPL v2. It's a relatively simple license. There is some ambiguity (if I statically link your GPL v2 module in my program and provide the source just for your module is that allowed?) but for the most part that's pretty minor.

The GPL v3 is a nightmare and I try hard to avoid touching it. I don't care how many times I slowly read the license, it never makes sense to me.

For example..... Can you include a 2-clause BSD-licensed module in a GPLv3-licensed program? If the BSD license is interpreted not to allow sublicensing or passing on only a subset of rights to the code (this is the official view of the Software Freedom Law Center btw), does that render the licenses incompatible as per the additional terms (particularly the additional permissions) requirements in section 7 of the GPL v3?

With the GPL v2 everyone had a general idea of what it meant and lawyers only really argued around the edges. With the GPL v3, I don't think anyone understands it. And the driver of this problem is the FSF trying to push copyright enforcement where, quite frankly, it doesn't belong.
If it benefits BigCorps and BigWigs then that's the right answer.

If it benefits the people, then that's the true answer.
I will make a slightly more controversial claim: With Kickstarter, who needs government granted monopolies for the arts? (ie., copyright)

One should realize that most of the greatest artworks in history were created without the "benefits" of copyright (and in many cases would have required infringing on copyright, writers and painters have borrowed from each others works all through history).
Maybe not for US queries, but they are kinda lacking for the rest of the world.

Cringely, I thank you for Triumph of the Nerds, but in general you're full of shit. I don't blame Apple for not wanting to "promote" and pump up a movie of their recently deceased founder, so that you can make money off it.

Nice PR play, though.
This isn't actually as surprising as you might think. Several of the Enterprise Management products they picked up in the last few years, including some from EMC, are .NET based. Two of those were products focus on provisioning and managing non-VMware systems which they have been attempting to combine into a single product for almost a year now. DynamicOps would fit into that nicely and hopefully fill a couple gaps in their existing functionality at the same time.
It is a European courts ruling not a German one.
Clearly having composable functions is a powerful idea. That's essentially part of the reason shell scripts are so successful. A well behaved shell script is a F(Lines)->Lines. which means you could actually write the above code like this:

x|foo|bar|baz|quux

And any step in the pipeline produced an empty output, that would be automatically carried through. This is one reason why having a.b.c through a NPE in java is not always ideal. In objective-c you can pass any message to nil, so [[a b] c] is defined even if a.b is nil. Imagine what a pain it would be if `cat file | grep a | grep b` blew up because file was empty or a was not found.
Livers are also tasty. But I think the cooking process will be a separate step after the printing + growing.
Raise the graying threshold for comments to 2 downvotes.

Random downvotes on perfectly good comments now seem fairly common on HN. I've noticed there's this weird tendency which makes me automatically think that a gray comment must be bad. But I keep finding downvoted comments which are actually not bad or uncivil or trollish in any way at all. Some of them do eventually get upvoted again, but a lot of them don't, which really discourages me to participate in a good discussion.

Would you call that low-contrast, though? My comment suggests that both colors are quite some distance apart, so despite the inversion, the contrast is quite reasonable. It just has the added bonus of, you know, not burning the crap out of my eyes.

In case you didn't know, the post is by the author of the ImpactJS game engine. The job of engine writers is to make sure everything works - working around it for one specific game helps only that game, but does not ensure all games using the engine will work. So the next best thing the engine author can do is pressure the OS maker (Apple) in to fixing the bug, which is what this post is about, since there is no feasible way an engine or library can work around problems like this in general.

"the first hire can also (in most legislations) start as a contractor or on trial period, which is a safety net for both the employee and the employer."

Microsoft has always fucked their partners but they take really good care of their developers and getting started with some pretty powerful stuff (assuming you don't mind using microsofts stack) is cheap and relatively easy.
Trip Hawkins on Apple and Steve Jobs
I haven't reported bugs to Apple due to such problems, there's simply no incentive. Apple as a quality company has of course always been focused on hardware and third-party developers have traditionally provided high-quality apps.
there is also nothing wrong with hiring a friend in a funded tech startup (as employee #1). I'd actually recommend it, because you are still in that phase where you are looking for people to work with you and not for you. And just like when finding a co-founder, getting along with a person is very important.
I should have added some optimizations, but I promise to add them tomorrow. So please check back tomorrow again. Apologies for the crashes.
For the moment yes, but make no mistake - China is going to eat Africa.
Anyone have a hypothesis on how Google's offline line voice recognition works? it definitely seems like they have moved more voice recognition work onto the client even in the online mode. My understanding of Google's approach to voice recognition was that it was big data dependent. This would make it hard to move to client devices....
I am no fan of what Microsoft is doing here, but it is an emerging threat profile and consequently some sort of boot loader signing makes sense. The exact design of course should be such that it is possible for users to update keys, however, because otherwise, once a key is compromised the whole system falls apart.

Trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts, worked at Apple long ago.

It's a fun interview with him - here's a choice quote about how Apple broke the rules in the early days:

Honestly, the first time [Apple] went to the CES show, we didn't have anything to show other than a really crippled little Asteroids-type game with the Star Wars name on it. It was hilarious because, in those days, people just rampantly trampled both copyright and trademark laws - and really, that was what we were doing to show off the machine. A guy from 20th Century Fox came up to me, gave me a business card, and said: "Yeah, you're going to have to stop doing that." [Laughs]
Pretty good, all things considered. They are taking blog articles and what not and transforming them into a magazine. They are switching the mediums that the writing is displayed in. So, everything doesn't line up perfectly, blog authors don't write for 8x11 paper.

Otherwise, the design gives much more gravity to each article then comes with the original. It makes you want to sit down and read it cover to cover.

Why are we excluded?
I think it's strange that people discuss "MVC" without specifying which MVC they talk about - - because most of MVC patterns are VERY different and used in very different contexts (e.g. Rails and Smalltalk). About a year ago I did a blog post about the history and usage of MVC* and for me it does not make sense to talk about MVC as a general pattern, because the implementations, contexts and ideas are very different from one MVC to another. If you want to discuss MVC please specify which MVC pattern you talk about.

Regarding this article I think it would be much better if the author provided some code for his "state machine" idea. Currently it's just a blurb of text and it's hard to imagine how his ideas would work in practice.

One framework I enjoy and use is Lamson - - Zed Shaw's mail server framework. It uses a state machine abstraction and it works quite well. This said, I think mail server processing is very suited for the state machine abstraction - - I am unsure how suited UI is, since it's a lot more complex than processing email.

The comments by others as a response are correct in that elementary particles are dimensionless.

One interesting point to add though is that only integer spin particles (the force carrying bosons) can share quantum states, which means they can occupy the same point in space.

Another way to say that is to say the opposite, i.e. that half-integer spin particles (the fermions, which includes quarks that make protons and neutrons as well as leptons like the electron) cannot occupy the same quantum state as each other, which is manifest by them obeying the pauli exclusion principle.

So if you were to take two photons they can literally occupy the same point versus two electrons which cannot (with some exceptions noted below). They are both point particles and technically have no volume, but there is this extra rule about quantum states that prevent two electrons from sitting in precisely the same place if they share all other quantum characteristics.

Since this rule applies only if those electrons share all other quantum states, that means that if two electrons have opposite spins, they can occupy the same point in space. The first valence shell in a atom is the lowest state that an electron can have in a stable orbit (think of it as a standing wave that exactly lines up in a circle). There is 'room' for only one electron when you view the electron as a wave, but that shell can hold 2 electrons because there can be one of each spin type.

Anyway kind of long winded, but I think the exclusion principle is at the heart of what makes us intuitively think about the electron as having volume in space and a photon as not.

All this stuff is really really cool, but you can tell why physicists have that itchy sensation that there is some deeper explanation that is underneath all these rules.

I started off writing a long post but then... well, the more I started writing, the more I realized was "unknown" about you. Some of the questions would be:

1) Are you planning on a 'public' course (for anyone to enroll in) or a 'private' course (one where a company sends only its employees)?

2) Are these lecture-only, lecture-and-demo-only, or "lecture, demo, and hands-on exercises" courses?

3) If the latter, will you require the students to bring their own computer or will you provide one?

4) Do you have any experience writing the courses, or were you only delivering courses that someone else write (for the other training companies you mentioned)?
If we find no Higgs boson right now, there's still other options: multiple Higgs bosons, composite Higgs bosons, etc. We're only looking for the most simple configuration right now. If does do not exists (and it will take many many years to prove that), we're having a bit of a problem as this invalidates the central tenet of quantum field theory.

All of quantum field theory is based on the principle of local gauge symmetry. This means that by demanding the field be invariant under the transformations of a certain mathematical framework, the interactions appear automatically (don't worry if you don't understand that, that would take more than one HN post). This is all very beautiful but the problem is that this only works for massless fields. The Higgs mechanism solves this by instead of postulating mass as an intrinsic property of a field, it supplies mass as an extrinsic property.

Technically speaking all fields are still massless, yet due to their interaction with the Higgs field, they behave as if they had mass! This is good, because we can keep our precious gauge symmetries and particles can have mass which is a very basic experimental fact. (I'm ignoring some important parts here, like symmetry breaking, but this post is already getting too long).

If no Higgs is found, either some brilliant mind must find another solution to preserve the principle of local gauge symmetries, or we must leave field theories behind and look for another solution.

I personally hope no Higgs is found, as Higgsless theories look more appealing to me. Obviously, Nature shouldn't conform to my personal aesthetic views, so if proof for Higgs is found, I will have to accept that.
