I just took a look at the site, glad it's working for you! As for the moving, perhaps we should emit sample code with a location string you can fill with your path prefix? Sounds good to me.

As for your composition, I took a look and the atlas images seem large compared to what we tend to see. Perhaps try turning down the quality slider in the main page - all that affects is the post encoding jpg compression. 60-80% tends to look good.
this is fantastic idea, I have 3 feedbacks for u:
1. URL is too long. seams like it includes whole text in encoded format and the page content is being recreated from it.
2. hard to share on FB. URL shortener needed.
3. when I open below link, the page's title is not what my post title is. sharing on Facebook still shows big url and "Zenpen - minimal.." title instead of what I put.

Law has transformed into the liberal arts degree of the current age. Almost nobody actually goes on to law; they go on to management or other analysis/talk careers.

Edit:

It occurs to me that I've caused downvotable confusion because law degrees in the USA are quite different from law degrees in Australia (where I studied law).

In the USA law is a postgraduate degree.

Here it is an undergraduate degree. Australian citizens receive very generous loans and until recently, places for each degree at any given university were fixed by Commonwealth quotas. Students with high year 12 scores and no idea of what to do next studied law or medicine because, in a quota placement scheme, those courses had the highest entry scores. Basically a status thing.

You're "smart"? Do law! (Which is how I wound up doing it).

Hence my remark that it's replaced the Arts degree as something that can be used to step into a higher entry rung in a large company or government department.
This is one of the best submissions I've seen on hn. So often these days, people are treating 'SCIENCE' as a completely objective enterprise when it is usually the interpretation of objective observations that is fed to the public, which is a very subjective matter.

The part about no e-mail is also wrong: the first ARPANET e-mail was also sent in 1971:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email#Email_networks

And did everything really move at a slow pace 40 years ago? Besides FedEx and network e-mail being created, there were six lunar landings between 1969 and 1972, and society was being transformed by the sexual and civil rights revolutions. In 1972 the Watergate scandal brought down the U.S. presidency and Kernighan and Ritchie's book on C was published. Science and technology and society were evolving rapidly, perhaps more rapidly than today.
But you need to register with foursquare to use their feature. I imagine there might be many people who would like this service by itself, not bundled with all the foursquare stuff. I think that before you pivot with your product, you should think if you just need to adjust who are your target customers and if it is feasible to reach them.
"Panasonic and Tesla together have developed a next-generation battery cell based on this nickel chemistry and optimized specifically for electric vehicle quality and life."

Tesla and Panasonic designed it together. Panasonic is just the manufacturer. I would be curious if Boeing engineers were also helping to design the internals of their battery.
There is no evidence for the Gates alleged quote. Same for the Watson alleged quote.

As far as Smith and FedEx goes, according to Smith himself he wrote one paper that touched on the idea while an undergraduate. He doesn't remember what his grade was. The "C" notion came about, he says, because a reported asked him what his grade was and he said "I don’t know, probably made my usual C". [1]

I'm not the guy you're responding to but I think it is safe to say there are problems with the batteries. Because, you see, they are catching fire, which is why all of this became an issue to begin with.

The problem may or may not be what Elon Musk thinks it is, but if an airplane's batteries are catching fire mid-flight, those batteries certainly have problems, unless catching fire was one of the design goals of those batteries, but I'm going to have to guess it wasn't.

They're the most powerful faction and have been for ages. They've also mastered metagaming and have pioneered some new, truly evil tactics.

For example, Sovereignty Wars in EVE (taking territory from others) is a long, gruelling process that can go on for months. So the goons started launching their attacks at 3 or 4 AM on a monday, to force their adversaries to wake up and go into work with no sleep. They'd do this daily, for a month. In the end, rather than defeating their foe militarily, the opponent would get demoralized and give up, surrendering all of their territory rather than have EVE continue to affect their real lives.

Beyond that, though, they're simply an incredibly powerful faction. There's a resource called technetium that's needed in order to build any of the massive ships, so it's vital for any sizeable corp to have. The Goons grabbed a virtual monopoly on it, and formed OTEC which is a cartel whose goal is to fix the prices of technetium to make it so other groups could never match the goon's strength in massive ships, while growing ridiculously wealthy in the meantime.

Basically, the goons are just really shitty to play against. Couple that with the fact that they and reddit (who used to be the closest of allies) own about 2/3s of everything there is to own in the game, and many players really, really want them to go to war and kill each other off.
Well, there have been at least 100 of them replaced so far, for either being discharged too far, expired, or had charging problems. Apparently, it's pretty easy for ground crews to leave something going that drains the battery to the point where it needs to be sent back to the manufacturer.

That's on 50 planes that have been flying in commercial service for less than a year.

Oh yeah, and that fire thing too.

It seems strange to me that schools can have folks with titles like "Dean of Community Outreach" but they feel compelled to wring cutting-edge research and excellent teaching out of the same people. I'd like to see the proof that world-class teachers and world-class researchers are the exact same set.
Blah blah, appeal to authority... It's too complicated for you... etc etc. More appeals to authority, and a plea to patiently wait for word from up on high that they've figured out at last, whatever it was that they missed the first time.

Some of what you said may be true, but it's also a typical thing one might say after any engineering (potential) disaster. I'm pleased that some persons with appropriate knowledge have spoken out and I hope that it will remove any pressure Boeing engineers may feel to give their battery issue less attention than it deserves.

I have to say that if that's your best reasoning, I hope you stay far away from any life-safety critical engineering decisions for vehicles that I'm to set foot in.

What about APL? The quicksort example from http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Quicksort reads:

qsort ← {1≥⍴⍵:⍵⋄ e← ⍵[?⍴⍵]⋄ (∇(⍵<e)/⍵), ((⍵=e)/⍵), ∇(⍵>e)/⍵}

Unlike J, all the brackets/parens/etc are balanced, and the functions and operators have single-character names.

Having played with both APL and J, I find APL to be easier to read. J was really just an experiment, adding rank matching and forks and hooks to APL, as well as using ASCII only for syntax. It doesn't take long to remember the keys for entering the non-ASCII characters into APL, and it looks more readable than J.

I think a future programming language should have precedences for its operators, though.

This post is the reason why developers deal everyday with horrible code that is apparently 'fast'.

Don't start by making your system fast, start by making it work, then refactor it so it's clean. If it's still not fast enough think about upgrading the hardware. Also, there's something called a profiler: use it.

It's really amazing what $200 of RAM will get you in terms of performance, ditto for $2000 worth of SSDs.

Then add caching, and yes, if you made your site 'fast' to begin with you now have two problems. If you made your site 'properly' then it shouldn't be a big deal to add it in.

Most of the reason Google is fast is that they have an ungodly amount of hardware. Google can put its hardware close to you, most startups cannot afford to put their hardware close to their users.

Fast is what makes you spend a week tracking down pointer manipulation problems, deadlocks, race conditions, etc, instead of lock free data structures, immutable values, closures and higher order functions. At least now we have CPUs with 16 cores so the pointer kids are finally realizing how moronic portable assembler really was for making anything other than operating systems.

I'll take code that's right over fast any day of the week.

PS. Code that's built right is usually faster anyway.

I was in the the AI class mentioned in the article, and I can say the results were somewhat disastrous. The early problem sets were trivially easy to facilitate quick grading (e.g., creating truth tables for propositional logic statements, filling in two variable names in pseudo-code for a search algorithm), while later problem sets had enough errors to make completing them difficult or impossible. Incorrect and conflicting information was regularly given out at office hours, assignments and tests were graded incredibly slowly and rarely returned, and the professor and T.A. were almost never on the same page. I understand the difficulty of the situation for the professor and T.A., but as a student I often felt I was wasting my time.

>I'd be very interested in what they are saying if --and only if-- they had access to Boeing and FAA design and test data.

Bollocks. Your analogies are crap too. Getting an FAA type certificate is a complicated, drawn out process, note, that doesn't make it a good process.

I'm betting Musk has as much data about those batteries as Boeing, the FAA, or anyone else alive.
I bet it's a misunderstanding of what Computer Science really is. In my opinion, many youngsters or people that's not in the tech world think Computer Science as just programming, or developing a website. I have an experience on this because my parents are forcing me to develop a website in which I don't like and they reacted with "what is your education for?"

But what they don't realized is that Computer Science is more than developing a website or programming. CS deals with math, algorithms, and such words that they haven't heard before. Automata, discrete math, pumping lemma. Computer Science is much harder than they thought. With this, many students in my university shift to another course because they can't handle CS. Too many students are enrolling CS becase they think it is the trend. They think it is the right course to learn how to develop website, how to create something like Facebook, how to develop an app, how to develop something like Instagram, or even how to create a game (http://blog.jpbalb.in/post/16048908922/game-programming-anyo...)! Yes they can learn them through CS, but if that's just what they want, they can just go to the internet and do a Google search. Because again, CS is more than just that.

Finally, I think it's not the lack of staff, but the lot of students. Give those students few years in Computer Science, and I'm pretty sure those "lot" will be "few".
You can indeed, and it ignites the gasoline. Gasoline vapors in air have relatively wide explosive limits which can be attained in a wide variety of ways, not only by aerosolization.
ugh, seems like everyone is doing a cs major now a days. kind of diminishes the value of the degree, sort of like a business degree aha.
I would say just snap out of it. I mean that sincerely. All those things you mention don't matter. People in far worse position than you, assuming what you've said is an accurate portrayal, go on to become very successful. Sure, you could say they are anomalies. But, you've made it to this site, you don't write like a moron, I find it hard pressed to believe it is hopeless.

You are here so I wonder, do you have some interest in programming? Many people have programming jobs that don't have CS degrees. You mention your age, and sure out in the Valley there are those types that have the mindset of Logan's Run and about age 28 is time when programmers need to be put out to pasture, but this is not true in most places, probably not totally true in the Valley either. If you want to do programming, or anything, learn skills and go for it. You don't need to be so attractive that 90% of companies want to hire you; you just need to find that one person that will take a chance on you.

I recently met someone much older than you, take six months learning .NET and C# (this is not an advertisement for that platform just a real example), then found a job as a contractor at a government agency (or sub contractor) and started building experience, now he has no problems finding programming work. It's not glamorous mega high paying stuff but it's not bad and he's not even that driven. So, early 30's is not the end of the world.

How to stop regretting? Spend some time with animals, zoos, dogs. They live in the moment. Start doing that for awhile, but work on a plan for your future but don't look back. It's pointless.

Also, you're not alone. A lot of people feel this way, even people you might think of as pretty successful.

Good luck and get out there!

1) I just called it "SCT" as shorthand, not to imply that it's a coherent theory. I don't think it's particularly coherent - from what I know it's one of the many parts of modern cultural theory, stemming from sociology, anthropology, and history, among others, which in modern times have become extremely theoretical and disconnected from reality, and tend to say very little with a lot of very complicated words.

2) Ultimately everything, including human behaviour, boils down to the principles of fundamental physics. Human behaviour is just the most complex expresion of these principles of which we are aware.

3) I mostly jumped on the hint of social constructionism because I absolutely hate it when people try to argue that beauty and aesthetic standards are purely constructed and hence artifical or arbitrary, which is patently not true. It's driven by a misguided desire to defend ugly people or something, I don't know, anyone it's stupid. Again I recommend Steven Pinker, his book The Blank Slate also touches on this I believe.

4) Mostly though I wanted to offer some logical reasons why people on online games might tend to wish to present themselves as, for men, muscular, strong, dominant figures, and for women, attractive, assertive, desirable figures.
Our of curiosity, why are your parents forcing you to develop a website? (And, tangentially, is there a reason you can't say no?)

A lot of the slowness for most sites comes from the client side, not the server side. Ads, tracking scripts and UI elements done in jQuery when you could have just beem HTML strings.

Using a CDN is also a cost effective way of putting stuff close to your users in cases where the asset transfer is the bottleneck. If processing is the bottleneck then adding geographically distributed hardware isn't going to help too much.

In my experience until you get into really crazy micro optimisations the clean way to do something is often relatively fast too.

I've much more often seen code that is horribly slow and horribly messy than just one of those.
Thermal runaway in high performance batteries? Musk is not exactly the first to notice this phenomena. His hypothesis is fairly straightforward.
