Definitely, would love those. We also had a few other people offerring to contribute a brew formula, so this'll likely happen in the next few days.

FYI, we just wanted to give people a one-click install on a clean OS X setup. We have no objects to supporting package managers, and were going to do that eventually (but hey, it's much easier for the issue list to grow than to shrink :)).
Hi Robert, I hope you don't mind, but I've sent you my details too, haven't received any info, and it's been over 6 hours.

This is particularly interesting:

If you select Strict Filtering, you'll see mostly messages from friends in your Inbox. People who had the previous setting set to "friends" will have "Strict Filtering" on.

Basically now you cannot opt out of getting messages from someone who pays facebook to message you. Interesting.

I think you are wildly overestimating the odds of being successfully sued for ripping off a font.

And black markets generally arise precisely when the official market isn't working effectively. You can deny reality or work with it, but for most of us changing it because we don't like it isn't an option.
My other takeaway, though, is that hard-core math people really think in a fundamentally different way than I do.

Among other things, when somebody says something is "literally" infinitely better than something else, we compulsively start trying to figure out what that could mean and whether it is true, and then we feel foolish and stop :-)

I'm a highly intuitive thinker, and formulas are a sea of meaningless symbols to me without an intuitive understanding of what is going on.

This is true of "hard-core math people," too, but studying math adds new intuitive concepts on top of the spatial and physical intuitions you already know how to apply. For me, compactness was the first mathematical intuition I developed, because real analysis was the first abstract mathematics that I studied in depth. I developed a feeling for when compactness played a role, a feeling that was much simpler than any way of defining or describing compactness. I think it's the same phenomenon as a cook knowing when to take a pan off the heat or a basketball player knowing when his opponent intends to shoot instead of pass -- the experienced mind provides hints to the rational mind via feelings and intuitions. The math books you were reading probably appealed to intuition that is developed elsewhere in the undergraduate math curriculum (possibly linear algebra.)

tl;dr A book that depends on relatively elementary facts may appear (and claim) to be accessible to someone with a modest mathematical background, despite requiring intuitions that must be developed via more advanced study.
I'm not looking for a guaranteed way to get to the front page. I'd guess that most of the things that don't make it, deserve not to make it, in the sense that while they might be interesting, even if most HN people saw it, it wouldn't get many votes.

My concern is that things that are clearly of interest (in the sense that they do eventually do get the upvotes in a subsequent submission) sometimes don't get noticed and don't get the upvotes they deserve (by some definition).

Or something.

My ideas are very badly formed at the moment, and I'd rather not try to put them in written form in an open forum. I wouldn't care if people stole them, I'd care more that they would look pretty stupid, because I couldn't explain them well enough. Yet.

In the context of the story that is irrelevant, and it is actually not correct. Don Melton started at Apple in the summer of 2001 (the same day I did). At the time of this story they had already been working on Safari for over a year, the point was that in that meeting they realized that Alexander was less than an additional 6 months away from shipping.

Not to discount the work of the kHTML guys, but it was more than a year of work to get from kHTML to Webkit.
I love this recipe for a one-dish-meal in a rice-cooker:

White Chicken Chili

http://www.food.com/recipe/crock-pot-white-chicken-chili-114...

It's like someone decided that chili was too colorful, and stripped it of all tones. It's also delicious.

Beware of leaving your rice cooker on for hours or days. Although it's sealed and hot (and presumably thus impenetrable to bacteria), some rice cookers are not suited for being left on for too long, and the heating unit will burn. This is regrettable, because I'd love to constantly have a continuous pot of this dish available at a moment's notice.

I am still looking for that magic multi-day rice cooker.
I don't really like switching jobs often, and I'm very happy with my current position in the Boston area but here are my hard numbers: Generalist Programmer out of College, fell into C# as first position.

Age 25: Paid Internship at 45k/year

4 Months Later: Brought on at 55k/year

6 Months Later: Asked for raise, bumped up to 60k/year

6 Months Later: New position, (Owner of 5 employee company was dying of cancer), bumped up to 70k/year + 3% Bonus/extra week vacation

1 Year Later: Merit based raise, bumped to 73k/year (asked for promotion and mentioned possible departure)

3 Months Later: Promotion, bumped to 78k/year (4% bonus on new salary)

This isn't the norm, I started at a much lower starting rate than I should have because even though I was qualified, I didn't have any personal projects to show off my skills and just needed to get my foot in the door.

In the end my point is that Salary increases should not (and generally aren't) based on a % of your current salary, but on what you've shown your true worth to be. Once you hit that true worth, it's adjusted for inflation and commitment.
As opposed to my theory that he's going to end up paying for some things in addition to taxes, and his taxes are going towards some things he doesn't personally use, so he might as well get over it.

What are the alternatives?

1) Everyone only pays only for what they personally use. Services utilized by a relatively small subset of the population become prohibitively expensive, such that only the wealthy can afford them, or they are discontinued entirely.

2) Everyone pays completely for every government expenditure and every transaction between the government and the public. Taxes go up because now everybody's paying more for a larger number of expenses they'll never use.

3) Taxes pay for the things almost everyone uses, plus they subsidize the essential things that many people use to the point where they're not cost-prohibitive to only the wealthy. Additional required operating costs for these select services can be paid for through fees to the people utilizing them.

Yes, my theory is that the third option is the best.
right on! nice to see folks lending real support at this time of year.
I realize there's value added to that it's specifically targeted spamming, but, yes, $1 per message is several orders of magnitude more expensive than normal spamming.
i agree. i've had exactly the same experience and this sounds like a good approach to try out.
Ok, it was good! Not amazing, but very eatable. A little too dry, I will add more water next time. The potatoes were perfectly cooked.

Overall positive experience, all I had to do is cut everything into little bits and throw them in the cooker.

Very nice, but you should add some "loading..." text until it's ready to display; on my iPad there were several seconds of a blank white screen and I thought something had gone awry.
Absolutely top advice.

I'd recommend it in Europe too - even though the social safety net is much better, it still pays to have savings.

What, specifically, isn't true?

An argument doesn't have to contain a false statement to have no baring on the discussion.

And more generally it's quite possible for a thing to have multiple causes, and in this universe this is generally true for everything we witness. So if A causes C that doesn't mean that B can't also cause C "by definition". I'm not aware of any serious philosphical framework that says that events must have only a single cause, though many philosophers from Aristotle onwards[1] but great stock in the "final cause" of things, but that would be either "God" or "The Big Bang" depending on your religion or lack thereof and nobody was arguing for those.

And as an aside, the words "by definition" in an argument that isn't on it's surface about definitions is generally a bit of a red flag.[2]

I have built a html5 client of pure html5 + css + js and I am currently using asp.net webapi for the purely RESTful serverside, its great, its so clean decoupled and composable...

i would have thought ASP.NET MVC is quite mainstream and that webforms is slowly dying personally...

now with webapi and a pure html client, i see no point in MVC whatsoever!
I'm currently running rethinkdb via vagrant, and it's actually pretty great.

If there was no good way to do a falsifiable experiment in physics we wouldn't say "oh we have a lot of data though, so i guess we should just look at the correlations and assume causation in this case". The question would simply remain open, perhaps indefinitely

What do you think of astronomy? Science, or should we wait for the development of experimental astronomy (yes, I know a lot of it is based on experimentally based physics, but none of that gets tested at interstellar distances, objects the size of stars, etc)

What about Kepler, and Newton with his laws of gravitation? Science, or did it only become science once we had machinery to measure gravity?

I think economists can do science, but their subject is much harder/less anemable to the scientific method than e.g. physics. Because of that, their results are less spectacular then those of physicists (psychologists, similarly, have a harder time than physicists applying the scientific method)

Also, that is harder to discriminate between true and false theories makes it easier for 'crackpots' to make a living in those fields.
When installing via .pkg, you can place a file in /etc/paths.d that adds to the path. For example, when you install in /usr/local/rethink/, you just add a file (e.g. /etc/paths.d/rethink) with one line: /usr/local/rethink/bin. Thats it, very easy.
I studied frequency domain/time domain when I was in eight grade and high school learning the technical aspects of how radios work. An oscilloscope was a big boost for developing this intuition, particularly if hooked to a microphone where you could see how various sounds showed up, then how tones from the speaker of a radio would look. And using radios day-in, day-out, and understanding how the spectrum of an AM radio signal looked.

I am glad that this analogy works for many of you here, but I have always been deeply suspicious of using analogies to teach concepts. For one thing, there is always the part that "Ok, what I just told you and you learned is not true in the following ways.." And the famous analogy between water in a pipe and electricity being actually potentially dangerous to a new student. In fact, I am sure that Fred remembers me railing "all analogies are False". And I have had very little success teaching complex topics using analogies.

Incidentally, the AM radio spectrum is quite easy to understand. It wasn't until an advanced signals course that I saw the math for the spectrum of an FM signal. Much more complicated.
Funny story, so when I left Google I was thinking, I am going to take a break, maybe take the summer off, recharge the batteries, Etc. My wife says "Well we are in a recession and who knows if there even are jobs out there? At least let your network know you're available." And I did, and that was how I met Rich Skrenta and got to talk with him about his amazing insight into the problems of search and why those problems were killing Google's product and what we could do to capitalize on the post-exponential growth world of the web.

So I find myself agreeing with both the 'take time off' and 'let people know' advice. Opportunities flick in and out of existence all the time, so letting people know is good, taking time off really helps you restore balance if you can afford it so taking a break is good too. If you have CORBA so you can keep your benefits uninterrupted, then recharging has a lot to offer.

I for one am extremely happy for, on my new mac mini, being able to run sublime text 2, nodejs and npm (pkg), postgres (app) and the heroku toolbelt (pkg) without installing XCode.
Doh! Taking a look now. Thanks.
And start-ups can feel that much more volatile. They aren't, really, I was once laid off by a huge bank two weeks after Christmas, and that with my wife on bedrest for complications in her pregnancy.

I'm at early days with consulting but I feel a lot more secure with my skill set than I ever did at some large company.

But the advice elsewhere about getting to six month's expenses is realllll good advice. I'd keep the spending thin until hitting at least that point -- and yeah, that can take a while.

> ...you still have to do an ALTER TABLE if you change the underlying type of a column.

I don't see why this is a problem? How often do you update really big (hundreds of millions of rows) columns' data types in practice? Most of the time you'd change type early in development when you don't have that much data in the table yet which makes it pretty much instantaneous. If you really need to update the data type for a supersized table you could always make a new column instead and migrate lazily to that in the background. But all of this happens so rarely that in my view it's a silly excuse to dump all the great benefits you get from having an enforced database schema.
Nicer food doesn't need to be a lot of work. For example: cook spaghetti, remove water, add in crushed garlic (raw!), some olive oil, pepper & salt and eat with cheese. Of course this isn't a great dish, but tastes much better than what you made for less work. If you have two minutes more time we can extend this recipe: put all the ingredients plus grilled pine nuts and a whole bunch of basil leaves into a blender (except the spaghetti and the cheese of course), and you have a very nice pesto.

Normal things usually don't take more than 20 minutes of attention. Stews are excellent: you just throw everything in and let the stove do the work and you have food for multiple days. Going further you have foods that you probably wouldn't cook for yourself but you can cook when you have people over for dinner. Stuff like tiramisu or chocolate mousse don't take more than 20 minutes to prepare. Making your own mayonnaise takes 2 minutes, and you can make it a bit different for example by replacing the vinegar with lime juice (excellent with fish). Then there are things that do take a bit more time (sushi, ravioli and pizza for example), but even this doesn't take more than 30-40 minutes (of course there exists things that take a long time to cook, but that's not necessary for serving a tasty meal).
Think its related to this:

I save about 60% of my paycheck with no intent of spending it, and I've found that it has the added benefit of keeping my life simple and helping me keep a distance from material possessions that I don't actually need (but would certainly be gravitated to if I had all this cash just lying around).

For me at least, I've been enjoying my relatively simple life of hiking/cycling with friends on the weekends and reading/learning from online resources and books from the library after work :).

I have a Zojirushi that I use from time to time to make rice, and have been experimenting with more complete one-pot meals. I can steam several types of vegetables in the last 13 minutes of operation [snow peas, asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc] in addition to the easiest "sous vide"-style eggs you'll ever have [trick: cook it whole]. I think fish is possible too, but only have 13 minutes' warning is a little rough.

The kicker is that it's a breeze to clean up, I don't even have to use soap and water. It makes a great meal as long as you can go without meat for a day. It also cooks quinoa and can be programmed to have steel cut oats ready for you when you wake up. It would be fascinating to hack it to see if I could recover its cooking rules, or get an early signal about projected time remaining, and I am surprise no one has put this info on the web yet.

I think you misinterpret "being left alone". In the sense of being able to do something on your own without anyone being able to see what you're doing — yes. But the reception of unwanted messages, while annoying, does not seem to interfere with privacy, since you can still dismiss those messages and thus not let the sender know anything about you.
It has nothing to do with any lang or framework, blog author could put Cobol example probably, its more like app architecture.
The wonderful spin they put on this is: "For the receiver, this test allows them to hear from people who have an important message to send them."

But you are dismissing a perfectly legitimate use. I had no idea there even existed an "Other" folder and when I did find out, there were a half dozen legitimate mails from longlost friends of various types.

I can see the privacy concern here but to call the above "spin" is being ignorant to a very legitimate use case. The $1/msg seems like an interesting compromise - if someone legitimate really wanted to reach me, they probably wouldn't mind spending a dollar.
It's also good practice to always buy unsalted or low salt stock (same with butter!) so you can control the salt intake yourself. And you'll look healthier at the check out!

Technically, how different is a rice cooker from a slow cooker (aka crock pot)?

I have a rice cooker but I use my slow cooker[1] a lot more. It's especially awesome for cooking steel cut oatmeal. Start it the night before and wake up to oatmeal with all sorts of fruit in it.

I personally think a slow cooker is more useful–and they're not really more expensive. But maybe they're just the same.
