I second this. Being able to pick out the most hearted segments across an entire chapter, even the entire book, would make it easy to skim chapters. I could look at the top snippets, see if they're compelling, and then commit to reading an entire chapter based on that impression.
Meanwhile, the real world, not everything you work on is super cool or super fun.

That's why it's called work.
On the other hand, if she has adequate resources, depression can largely be addressed. Modern medicine has understood for example, that paxil does NOT go through the mammaries, so is safe for breastfeeding (not comfortable with that, but then again, I'm not in that situation).

Also proper nutirition and support structure can largely remove the stress that exacerbates pre-natal and post-partum depression.

With her wealth, she would likely be able to "tough it out" by throwing a bit of her money at some of the likely problems. She would likely have a doula, midwife and doctor, not to mention a night-nurse, etc.
The title is clearly a completely unsupported hypothesis.

Why do HN mods change perfectly good titles seemingly at a whim, and then when there's a linkbait title screaming to be changed, then don't touch it?

Concurrency with ActionScript Workers
A watt is a unit of power, not energy. Power is energy per unit time, so NIF works by storing large amounts of energy in capacitor banks (transferring it from the grid slowly) in preparation for a shot and then releasing all of that energy over a very short timespan. Since the timespan is short, the power to target is extremely large.
How To Create Shiny CSS Buttons
New Security and Developer Features Now in Firefox
1. Google+ is a lot more open. I get to interact with variety of people through public posts.

2. I have gotten rid of RSS Reader and now get all updates on G+ and blog. One less thing to worry about.

3. Too many people make too many posts on Facebook. Circle on G+ is growing on me.

4. I like everything Google.
You said "lambda was added to PHP in June 2000". That is clearly not the case, and now you are trying to play semantic games to pretend you are still right. The function create_function() is not lambdas. It isn't even anonymous functions, they are still named, you just don't know the name. You can easily get a duplicate function error from using create_function(), which means it is most certainly not anonymous.

Note that php.net/create_function even points you to their page on actual anonymous functions, which they erroneously claim are the same as closures.
Love your take on it. You do hit on some key points, Thanks for taking time out of your day to provide your feedback :)
Copyright is not part of the constitution. That's flat out wrong.

What's part of the constitution is congress' ability to create copyright or
patent laws. There's absolutely no imperative to have these laws, and
as others have pointed out, there was opposition against this power from several
founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson.

It strikes me as either uninformed or dishonest to assert/imply that
copyright is a constitutionally granted right.
Whilst I tend to agree with the other comments that there's a lot of code, and it's far from elegant to develop into, from an end-user perspective, there's no match to Wordpress. User-interface is easy to understand and use, you have tons of very useful plugins (of course some are horrid). For a non-developer or a beginner PHP developer it gives you a very nice framework to build a blog or a CMS platform. Plus - unlike frameworks like django or rails, installing it and getting running from day 1 is a breeze.

My extended family uses G+ hangouts to keep in touch. For 2 people Skype is actually easier, but for a bunch of people (we once had Minnesota, California, New Hampshire, and Switzerland talking together), G+ is pretty smooth.
This is completely wrong. The Safe Harbor provision gives a content site the ability to be safe from infringement if they comply with the specific rules set forth in the DMCA.

The onus is on the content provider first and foremost. They need to remove the material and then notify the provider of the material. If the provider can show it's theirs it can go back up. If they can't, it needs to stay down. If the DMCA notice is completely wrong, the provider of the material can go after the accuser for monetary damages. If Apple doesn't take down infringing material, the are no longer under safe harbor[1].

From Wikipedia:

"Determined to find results, Stratton wore the telescoping glasses for eight days straight. By day four, his vision was upright (not inverted). However on day five, images appeared upright until he concentrated on them; then they became inverted again. By having to concentrate on his vision to turn it upside down again, especially when he knew images were hitting his retinas in the opposite orientation as normal, Stratton deduced his brain had reprocessed his vision and adapted to the changes in vision."

So perceptual adaptation is real, it just takes like a week to really kick in. For someone who had been wearing these glasses for years, I'm sure the effects would be much more intense.

EDIT: The paper that the follow up results were in might actually be "Stratton, G. (1897). Upright vision and the retinal image. Psychological Review, 4, 182-187"

I admit I'm not used to citing academic papers, I heard about this experiment back in high school anth/soc/psych so I just did my best to find a semi-credible reference.

> Implementing anything to force yourself to code is a good indicator that you really don't want to code in the first place, and is just going to encourage you to write perfunctory code.

The work I do is very boring. I do Drupal development for a series of television stations, and I'm not happy with it. But I need this job to pay the bills, so I have to perform well. Once I start coding, I realize my job isn't the worst thing in the world, and I'll get into a good flow. Starting, though, is the hardest part. These self-controlling applications help give me the start I need and don't let me give up so easily.
SocialCam will never have any long term users because they spam that crap out of everyone's Facebook wall with 15 second videos with misleading title. Doesn't matter how much traction they have now or before eventually these types of site will die down because they are abusing the system and tricking the users into watching the video. How many times do you think a user will click on a misleading video until they completely stop?
I've been on the receiving end of an app related copyright notice before. (I used the 'NFL' trademark without permission - I'm not American and thought it was the name of the sport and couldn't be copyrighted). Apple forwarded me the notice via email and asked me to respond and take action. I responded to the NFL guys, fixed the problem and never had to remove the app.

So Apple gives the developer a chance to respond (i.e. it will probably take a few days to see any action). If they didn't we would end up with the mess like they have with DMCA notice takedowns on YouTube.
Wiki: " Xiaomi is a high-end smartphone, using a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 (dual core, 1.5 GHz) as its CPU and an Adreno 220 as its GPU,[4] but its price (RMB1999/around USD310)[5] is less than half the cost of a typical dual-core CPU smartphone.[6] "

So they're selling the phone equivalant of a Nexus 7 (decent hardware that deeply undercuts the competition.)

I'm using the Arch image and a ZyXEL NWD2105. Worked with absolutely no problems OOTB - well after installing the wireless_tools package. Didn't even need an external powered USB hub.
Seconded. Compete's numbers are just made up. I know for sure they are off by more than an order of magnitude for reddit (or at least were a year ago).
These numbers also seem to only be US numbers, so it might be hiding a lot of international growth in LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr (not to mention Facebook).
A likely cause for this that I haven't seen noted yet is that they are slyly directing people to G+ without the user even knowing. If you click on a Google Maps result to get the full information page, it's no longer a Google Maps page, it's a G+ page. These traffic numbers clearly include lots of people who got to G+ in this manner.
This sounds like "If it was really that important, you wouldn't have forgotten it." — an untimely and unhelpful bit of smugness disguised as insight.

It's okay though — I'm sure if you had realized that, you wouldn't have posted it.

How'd you miss the point so hard?

His anecdote was saying that the audience that should care the most about an amazing photo site and that produces by far the most amount of content for such a site doesn't actually care. His point is that us, the Internet Nerds, care more than the pro photogs.

Whether that's true or not, I dunno. If I make my living selling photos, it might be better for me NOT to host them in full glorious resolution on Flickr.
It couldn't work on that scale, because it's not practical to contain that big of an explosion. This is your Castle Bravo crater; it's more than a mile wide.

Moreover, about 2/3rd of the energy in that device were from fission (not fusion), so for any possible claimed advantage of fusion over fission, it's not here. The lowest fission-fraction test to date was Tsar Bomba, at 3% yield from fission. That was also the largest explosion to date (50 megatons!), which makes it even less feasible.

I think this is a fundamental tradeoff: you can't make a mostly-fusion weapon unless it is extremely large, as there's some minimum size for a fission explosion that achieves fusion conditions.

Google+ Users Don’t Want the Hoi Polloi Relocating from Facebook
For the past year, Mozilla has never mentioned version numbers in the official announcements of new Firefox releases. For example, the Firefox 14 announcement:

"I use Facebook to share and chat about photos."

Which I'm sure you used to do in email. Smaller circle, same user task.

"I use LinkedIn for recruiting."

I still use email sometimes for that. Smaller circle, same user tasks (attaching resumes, getting contact info for screenings, planning meet and greets).

Actually, it was Monster.com + email, so yeah, I guess LinkedIn replaced those.
I won't give any real advice on learning to program--I think there are a bevy of resources out there, and there are folks much smarter than me on here with regards to pure application/web development. What I can tell you is some things I've seen and things that really helped me out a lot.

My mentor was incredibly keen on knowing why you do something. I've seen many new developers come in, and they were taught that X is the best way to do something in college or from a blog or what have you, but they've never really understood why. So, when you introduce some new condition (let's say compliance), and you can't do X (or X is now remarkably costly), then what do you do? The best way to do this is to do code reviews, and have him walk you through it. Take that time to suggest better approaches, understand his thought process, and evaluate whether or not he understands what he did.

Code reviews take time, but it's the best way for you and him to get on the same page and understand each other. Don't approach it from a, "I'm an expert, and I'm going to show you up" context. Approach it as a learning exercise where he can learn from your experience, and you can learn more about how he works.

Another thing my mentor did was took me with him to meetings where we reviewed the code. Getting to know your users and understand who you're doing this for is incredibly important. So many organizations try to abstract them away. It was something that put a face to the end user, and gave the user confidence in us to understand what they needed. I've seen a lot of folks not have that opportunity, and want to build ivory tower software without ever talking to a user. It also makes the job much more rewarding.

Anyway, those are just a couple of ideas. YMMV. Best of luck--though, if you're asking questions like this, I'm sure you'll be just fine.
My AngelPad Experience - Constantly Learning
Hi Michael. Congratulations on building a very good product. It's probably the best web-based e-reader I've seen, apart from the 'social' bits. No doubt the great majority of your users like them, but they're a useless annoyance to me. If you could add an option in the user preferences to suppress all the social stuff, you'd have me as a user right away.

A small note: the scrolling code seems to break mouse-gesture history navigation in Chrome 20.0.1132.57 on OS X - my attempt to go back just scrolled the page up...
Speaking from direct personal experience with DMCA takedowns in the app store specifically, Apple threatens the developer with removal of the app from the store but does not actually do it for at least the first 30 days of the complaint.

In order to qualify for safe harbor protections, Apple must take down content "expeditiously." So I'm under the impression that they actually waive the DMCA harbor entirely, and decline to process requests. IANAL, and Apple has much better lawyers than I do, so it's possible that "expeditiously" means something other than what I think it means.
Ask HN: Crowdsourced headhunting?
As a person growing a company: Would you value a service that has resumes rated by industry professionals over a headhunter? (i.e. a bunch of ranked resumes with feedback by other people in the same industry vs. a headhunting agency that has deemed qualified candidates and forwards them)
I'm also seeing more google results to G+ pages instead of the wikipedia page when searching for names, famous people, topics, places and so on. Coincidence?
Most of the traffic tracking on the web involves plugins (generally in the form of a toolbar). I don't know about you guys, but I haven't had a 3rd party toolbar in my browser interface in a long time.

Compete, Alexa, etc. they're all tracking people who don't understand technology.
Wait, you have a G+ page, space, whatever automatically because you have a gmail account? Is there a way to get rid of that?

I can't wait for this to get mature enough to get a nice reliable (even if small) SSD without flash's issues.

I will say that I agree that it gets cumbersome when people make the old joke "I saw a UFO. I mean I saw an Unidentified Flying Object because I say an Object that was Flying that I could identify." Probably for a younger crowd that sort of response is appropriate because maybe they are unfamiliar with this. But if you are old hat to this UFO poppycock business, it's more interesting to get down to the meat and potatoes of how ridiculous the ET visitation stuff is and bypass the acronym discussion. :)

From Automattic's perspective, WordPress's strength is that the people who don't want hosted, limited control sites write amazing plugins and themes that the people that do want hosted, limited control site also want.

"give the impression that twitter is somehow at fault"... which it is. This is definitely partly Twitter's fault for craming all of their code as one humongous instruction (comma) rather than multiple lines (semi-colon.) It's also obviously partly Opera's, for not handling terrible code such as Twitter's as well as they should have.

There's (at least) one more level of granularity between professional and amateur though -- prosumer. Camera gear <$4000 && >$1000; a serious hobbiest if you will. I think the GP was saying that Flickr should market harder to that vertical, which makes sense to me because it's so much larger than the pros.

I consider myself a semi-serious hobbiest, my rig fits into the conditions above, and I still pay for my Pro account. I post a link to the album on Facebook, though.

How is that even possible? How could applying too much material between the CPU heatspreader and the heatsink keep one from entering BIOS? Even if you spilt it all over your motherboard and socket, it shouldn't do a damn, as (at least most?) thermal pastes aren't conductive enough to cause any short-circuits or other harm.
My understanding is that the app must be fullscreen, and the user can always escape fullscreen and pointer lock with the ESC key. I guess there is a risk that the browser could hang in that state, though, which makes it even more important for Mozilla to focus on their browser's stability.
Lots of people link to Google+ posts here. Nobody links to the equivalent Facebook thing, wall posts.

That's a bit misleading, because one of the few places G+ has gotten traction is among developers, mostly in the Google ecosystem (go figure). That's a big and important ecosystem, so it's not shocking that people from there would post stuff that occasionally is of interest to HN.

Facebook wall posts aren't used in the same way by the tech crowd -- probably mostly because they didn't work like blog posts or G+ posts until after G+ launched -- so they don't get HN links. But in other communities people definitely link to wall posts. I work in politics and it's not unusual to see a politico use their Facebook wall as a kind of proto-blog. (Sarah Palin, or some nameless flack on her team at least, is/was a master at this.) It then gets plenty of links from political media.
