I'm sorry, I don't understand your comment. You might mean one of two things:

1. There could be some confusion as to what is left undestroyed by 10%. I intended that figure to refer to the DPRK's tunnels, but especially the artillery capable tunnel mouths, not Seoul itself.

2. You may be employing a single definition of 'decimate', namely 'to take a tenth part of, tithe'. I doubt you mean the historical Roman practice of killing every tenth man, chosen by lot, of a legion. I kindly note that 'to destroy a large percentage of' is a a commonly accepted English usage of 'decimate'. It may be the most common usage, especially as knowledge of latin roots is not widespread.
Ah my favorite topic, ok here we go:

I disagree.

Apple fans are the absolute worst. Not want to offend anyone here, but there's a certain type of delusional Apple fans, also known as members of the Apple Cult. The member strongly believes, that Apple products are perfect, flawless, and that every other competing product is inferior and can't comprehend why some people prefer other products. He/She will also always defend everything Apple does, spinning and twisting every news story to make Apple appear in a positive light and often directly contradict their previous stance, when Apple does something unexpected. These types also collect old Apple computers, like they're trophys, and pay for a cinema ticket to watch a Steve Jobs interview.

They glorify Apples quarterly earning report and don't seem to notice that it's actually them paying a $500 profit margin on an iPhone - or maybe they're just happy to do so.

I know, because I've met a few in real life, and the worst thing it's completely pointless to discuss anything related to Apples decisions with them - it's like talking against a wall. That's why they get called Sheeple, mindless worse ship of a corporation.

Disclaimer: I don't hate Apple, I'm happy we have 2 ecosystems, strictly talking about the fans here.

If someone is running such a bot, I'd rather it be you than anyone else (you're probably one of the bigger assets to HN as a community, because you submit often and submit lots of great material). But I think essentially the act of doing so is useless, it just takes up screen space. I notice HN includes a system that prevents one from re-submitting things for a certain frame of time -- that is good enough. If there's a good reason to re-link old discussions, someone will probably take the initiative to do so.
Student accounts had "." in their PATH by default. I'm sure someone did it to keep students from asking why their program wouldn't run at all. Fun times.

I started programming when I was young and learned a lot in a very short time (qbasic -> client side web -> perl -> php) within a year. As I've continued learning my pace has slowed. I'm sure it's a function of age as well, but going from intermediate to advanced is a much longer journey than the initial part of the learning.

After losing my last job, my internal motivation train jumped off the tracks and now that I've secured employment elsewhere I can't seem to get back on the rails. There's a mental fog that is making it tough to connect my day to day actions to the long term plan. Maybe I'm just out of practice.

But whatever the case may be, I'm sure others have gotten into a similar spot before. I'd love to hear any stories and accompnyning advice.
Strange. I've been reading hackernews for years, and I don't remember any kind of evidence ever being presented that Aaron killed himself because of the prosecution, besides for the coincidince of the two events.

There is a non-trivial proportion of humanity that simply cannot change their mind, cannot admit when they are wrong. If you think long enough about it and follow a rule-based mindset absent objective feedback (as fields such as law allow), you can justify almost any action taken ad-infinitum, as long as you follow a rule book and pattern you have practiced for years. That said, mentally inagile, cognitive calcified people should be culled from our justice system ruthlessly. We need people who can think through proportion, harm, and justice on a dynamic basis.

Feedback as requested. Comments are not intended to be critical in any way, just trying to give feedback since you asked for it on what would make the site more usable and immediately intuitive as someone not terribly familiar with home-schooling:

(1) You have a triple site-title (header, image and main page) which takes up a lot of space. You could also save space up top by pushing the copyright notice to the bottom of the page where it will be less aggressive. The prominence makes me wonder if you are worried about people stealing copy and might be off-putting to casual browsers.

(2) It took me a while to figure out what was on the site. Not because your description was wrong or inaccurate, but because the words "learn" and "freedom" are so generic that the combination didn't provide any substantive clue as to what was on the site until I looked at the site archive. It also made the first paragraph hard to scan. The titles of the subcategories seem vague. "School is Dead" is much catchier topic. Perhaps change the intro text to spike the reader's interest? :)

(3) CSS recommendations: try bumping up line-height to 1.6 for main text, and decrease both font-size and line height for blockquote elements to make the site more readable, and set quoted passages off from the main text.
After some thought, Ultima IV popped into my head. Specifically the beginning of the game when the player is asked several questions which don't necessarily have a correct answer but do in effect slant the players morality in one direction or the other.

Thee and thy friend are valiant but penniless warriors. Thou both go out to slay a mighty dragon. Thy friend thinks he slew it, thee did. When asked, dost thou
A) Truthfully claim the gold
B) Allow thy friend the large reward?

Has anyone attempted to use such metrics to find matches between individuals?

I've also noticed that couples who have different interests actually engage in more sharing. Seems like sometimes when both partners have to many interests in line, it is a cause of detachment instead of bonding.

I am glad that people here are very understanding and very open about what they have experienced. I think I have been there. I don't know how bad my situation was comparing to some of them described in the comments. I have fought hard to get myself back up. I remember I tried so hard to seek help. Reflecting back, I think I really just wanted a peace of mind knowing that I will get better if I could see a doctor. What horrified me was not what I had to go through. What horrified me is how some people start to treat me afterwards. They would treat me as a mental patient; they would think I am dangerous and crazy.. They also think I probably would be able to achieve anything in life anymore. I feel so sad about this. I have never been treated like this.

Uh... Yeah. When I "silentquit" SO, I went and did stuff that made me happy. Improved my baking skills. Took care of stuff around the house.

If you're so fed up that you can't stand to use it anymore, why wouldn't you just... Go do something that made you happy? Rage or silent, if you're gonna quit, quit.

Otherwise, you're just making yourself a slave to your own misery. That ain't gonna end well.

To My Old Master (1865)
Ring shaped molecules containing nitrogen and oxygen (as well as sulfur) are called "heterocycles" and they are an extremely common building block of pharmaceuticals. They are found in 8 of the top 10 best selling drugs in the USA: Lipitor, Plavix, Nexium, Abilify, Seroquel, Singulair, Crestor, and Cymbalta. Combined sales of these 8 pharmaceuticals were worth $43.2 billion in 2011. http://www.businessinsider.com/10-best-selling-blockbuster-d...

So developing reliable reactions that build these molecules is, indeed, a useful exercise.

aw, man. I just discovered this. Looks really cool.
Conceptually this is not so different than a regular database and its log. The log is the immutable, write-only part, and the tables are the current representation. Datomic moves the current representation further up the stack.
The Address Book was built before 3rd party apps were even considered (remember all apps were web apps at launch) and was optimized for fast syncing. At the lowest level it stores an address record, and any required diffs in SQLite.

Every time the AB is accessed, all the diffs get reapplied. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, as people don't edit their address books often enough to generate a ton of entries.

Unfortunately the old Facebook iOS app and a few others that allowed you to "keep your contacts up to date" would hit every single contact in your Address Book every time the app was activated with a hidden ABPersonViewController. The allowsEditing property was set to YES every time, which generates a new diff with no (or a minor) change.

Diffs were sycned back to the computer, but AFAIK "merges" only happend on OS upgrades, since it was unlikely a user would be making millions of edits.

(this is all roughly from memory based on a painful debugging session with our iOS guy and a few back and forth tickets with Apple looking into extremely slow AB access for some users.)
OT, but you nailed it on the Podcast App - in fact, it is the first time that I've unequivocally been able to say that Apple released an absolute crap application that really had no future it was so bad. I spent two-three hours with that app trying to understand it's "model" and deal with all the bugs before I finally gave up. It was fundamentally bad.

On the Pro-Side - it opened me up to the really nice alternatives, like DownCast and iCatcher! that are absolutely fantastic.
I found that kind of confusing as well.

I believe it was his brother and his mother who were executed. I believe his brother was named Shin as well, with the rest of his name different.

I think this is a family name / given name issue.

Apple pays for Yelp's data, Google scrapes it. Your guess is as good as mine as to which lasts longer.
And I'm saying that's based on culture more than nature. One can't suppress women more or less worldwide for millenia, then say "equal rights, voting rights, go!" (in some parts of the world), and then take time shortly after, without looking at all the power and role training that has been accumulated and is still in effect (it's not like feminism got through to every last one even in "the west", is it), and explain the remaining inequalities as "just the way it is" or whatever. "We" owe "them" a lot more than that, and not little of that is centuries, millenia of genetic selection. Now that smart women don't get burned at the stake so easily, and can choose their partners freely, we'll see if they won't catch up.. I kinda have my hunches ^^
I don't accept the notion of a demographic being "under-represented". I think it's arbitrary and you haven't addressed it. There is no "correct" amount of representation, and trying to offset workforce statistics due to some misplaced sense of morality is hardly altruistic. If people are discouraging women from STEM, address that. If people are racist, address that. You feel there's too many white people in your office? The answer isn't affirmative action, it's to quite being a racist. There's no such thing as too much of a race (unless, you're a racist).

To say more women should be in STEM is sexist. I mean, if more women get into STEM, great. But to say an entire sex should do something is nonsensical. It's entirely possible they don't want to study stem. It's possible they value other knowledge that is equally important. To say that they're under-represented is to belittle what individuals choose to do with their lives.
Nothing really scary here, I just didn't think of adding data from my profile to the queries :) It's stupid, because if it wasn't my profile and my post I would probably do it the same way.

Thanks for explanation and for hinting to google results for my username - I haven't tried that one for too long.
No, I am talking about the disproportionate representation at the conference itself, because the field itself is what lacks diversity. Fix the diversity problem within the field, and if after that the conferences lack diversity, we can fix that problem too.

For starters, default to not install the crapware.

Alternatively, instead of creating more required user actions than necessary. While the software is installing, show splash screen type adverts of software the user may also be interested in installing with a way to add them to the install queue on the fly or select it after the install is done.

Sure, they rate of install will be shit, but if they were really interested in doing the right thing this wouldn't be a problem and the users of said applications would be legitimate users, not just angry computer illiterate people.

No, what this tells me is that Mr Al-Khabaz continued trying to hack the server even when told to stop. Whats the difference between the reaction we all expect (including your story) and this? The difference is Mr Al-Khabaz continuing to try to break into the web servers.

This not a good deal even if you can't make art. You can get plenty of art on iStock photo and what you don't get when publishing as an indie with someone else is the network effect of publishing multiple games on your own. This is essential if you want to grow your brand, user base and revenue over the course of multiple titles.
Interesting I hadn't think of that. Still not something that would be much of my concern.

You can implement an immutable database system with SQL databases today. For instance, just design your application to only add new records, and not to issue any updates.

Why is an entirely new database system needed?
Yeah, they're really common; I remember discussing them in Intro Philosophy course in college. Most people have had a moment where they're in a situation that could lead to death and wonder "What if I..."

Thinking back to when I was 13 and suicidal, the big difference is that now, when I'm mentally healthy, it's a "What if I...?" thought, while back then it was an "I should..." thought. I remember looking out my front door at the traffic going by in the street and thinking "If I just run outside and into the road in front of a car, it'll all be over." And it was like I got tunnel vision, like that impulse was all the universe consisted of. It's like the article said, about thoughts tending toward concreteness.

I wonder, too, about how this relates to a another comment here about it being crucial to increase the physical time necessary to commit suicide. Our driveway was a good 160 feet long; I wonder if a major factor was that it'd take a good 15 seconds to run the length of it, and on some level I realized I'd chicken out before I got to the street. (I didn't get much farther than opening the door before thinking "What the hell am I doing?")
I’ve come to the conclusion that Heroku must be using adaptive processes to sandbag us. For example, to save on their resources, they must be creating static caches of the pages which are being requested from these cron pings. They could avoid loading my whole app back into memory with a trick like this. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I see no other way for these pings to be successful and my app to still have bad initial load times when it is not visited for a while.

You are incorrect. We idle single-dyno apps that have not recently received requests. We do no caching, unless you are running an old bamboo app and are therefore going through varnish. See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#dyno-idling
Reposting my comment from the website here (unreadable there):

I contacted support about this a while ago (was in a similar situation). Their response was "Use more than one web dyno". I didn't need more than one, but that was the only way they offered to allow my app to not "go to sleep".
Right. The magic is, when you search for example, some place, Later you will be surprised your phone pushes some notifications about the weather of that place, how and how long time to get there...

You don't need to tell google where you want to go or what info you need, Google Now provide all necessary or maybe-useful info to you automatically. But yes you can trigger it off.

And it is not so smart as we except, kinda like AI. I hope it will be the REAL personal assistant, not just like Siri, you have to send order before it acts as smart.
Yes, this is the source of their current troubles: being told to hold on to the evidence from that case.

Were you inspired by http://throwww.com for the name?
You are correct. The scale of your ignorance combined with the depth of your obliviousness to it rendered me speechless. Should you actually have any curiosity here (which I suspect you don't), you'll find that the resource I provided offers a view vastly more comprehensive than any one person could include in a single HN post.

And not being one to suffer fools gladly, referring you to a comprehensive account of multiple, interlocking frauds spanning a variety of institutions spares me the effort of engaging with someone displaying a Creationist's level of epistemic closure. This particular discussion of rampant corruption and outright criminal conduct (fraud, mostly) has the added benefit of being a very high profile account. It has been widely circulated, closely examined, and generally accepted as a fair and accurate assessment. This level of exposure means you'll have an easy time verifying the claims, should you choose to do so (which, ha).

In the meantime, I'm going to go back to being amazed that someone discussing this in 2013 can do so without appearing to know what a derivative is, let alone how one works.
One thing I haven't heard discussed about the "save data forever" model is that in some scenarios you WANT to purge old data and not have it recoverable, for legal reasons.

I guess Datomic is not suited to these situations?
Well, that's that it seems. Could it be that he's running a single dyno app (with a bunch of add-ons) and that's what explains the behavior he's seeing?
