So, some things happened in the twentieth century. Basically there are two trends that developed, and reinforced each other without necessarily intending to.

One was the disengagement of general audiences from "classical" (for lack of a better term) music. The other was the disengagement of composers from general audiences.

Each group did this, largely for its own reasons, but each side's disengagement only sped up the other's. The result of this is that you have a general audience who is largely ignorant of what was going on in music, and a world of composers who became more and more insular, writing largely for each other and to make increasingly-arcane points about music theory.

This means that when you listen to contemporary classical music, you're A) listening to something that was not written with you in mind as an audience, and B) utterly lacking the background -- the traditions, the movements, the reactions and counter-reactions -- to understand what's going on in the music.

In a broader sense, this happened in basically all the arts, but music is one of the areas where we seem to notice it more often.

I don't feel I have a fad belief. Until about a year ago, I never censored any food. I have always enjoyed a high protein and vegetable diet, but a ton of pasta and pizza too. About a year ago, my wife and I (and by proxy, our kids) cut out gluten, wheat, and sugar. Within a week (closer to three for the wife), we all noticed higher energy levels and just felt better. Our oldest kid had complained of stomach issues for quite some time, up until this change in diet. Interestingly enough, these issues come back when she has bread or pasta (or pizza, as you point out). We all feel worse after eating these foods. We still do it every couple of weeks because, hey, it tastes good. But by avoiding these mostly processed foods, we genuinely feel better. We all still eat burgers; just with no bun. I'd encourage you to try it for two weeks and see if you feel better or not. If not, more ammo for your argument.

So Open It Hurts -- What the Internet did to Aaron Swartz
Even if you don't like CoffeeScript, i think you should take a moment to consider the value of this tool: it integrates a language that is not natively supported by browsers into the REPL of the browsers themselves, letting you have awesome interaction with the webpage in that foreign language. These are exactly the kind of things we need to make using other languages than JS for front-end web development less painful.
I did the same experiment to an extent blindly: after four years of stomach problems, I thought it was lactose intolerance. Leaving out milk helped quite a lot. Later I was tested, and found to not be lactose intolerant. Milk back on diet. Stomach problems reappeared, if just not that bad.

Later on was diagnosed with something called "cereal allergy" (quite possibly not a real diagnosis, the army MD who explained this to me was preparing her dissertation on the subject). To wit, leaving out all cereal made all my stomach problems disappear.

Now, what was the deal with the milk? I used to eat a lot of bread, and take milk with that. Leaving out milk, I inadvertantly left out bread as well, seriously limiting cereal in diet.

This all happened in the first half of 1990s, long before the current popularity of the subject. Yes, not a real study (N=1 etc). OTOH, I would claim it was definitely blind for me.

now, this confirms my opinion that the game has been really fun to program, much more than to play.

Taiwan making overtures towards actual independence doesn't seem like a very far fetched possibility. It has been a hot button issue on and off over the last decades. If, on the other hand, China and Taiwan actually move towards unification, Foxconn's decision seems even more pointless.
Play framework 1.x (Java) forked - Yalp framework
Until food science catches up, you can get anecdotal data yourself. Try cutting out all breads/wheat/gluten/sugar for two weeks and see how you feel. If you feel better, then you can devote more into looking into it. If not, then you have data for that then. For me and my family, we feel better all around after removing the majority of it (we still eat that stuff about once or twice per week or two).
Both visions are likely correct, to a degree. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that a "post-PC" world is one without keyboards and mice or open platforms. However, there are obviously many fundamental improvements to personal computing that have been made in the mobile space (multi-touch UI, fully OS managed application lifecycles, simplified visual elements, etc.) but the idea that the way the iPad happens to work today should be the model for all future computing is a bit ridiculous.
Is it just the surface pro that has this tech built in..? Crazy that this feature has not been promoted more.

My personal experiences on gluten intolerance supports the views in this article.

I started fixing my health problems with gluten-free low carb paleo in 2003. After 6 years I had to face the fact that even though my weight was optimal, my health was deteriorating.

I switched into a diet optimising gut bacteria and hormonal balance. To my surprise, it seems I am no longer gluten intolerant. I still don't eat it much, just to be on the safe side. But when I do, I get no adverse effects.

The "in crowd" is just trying to pick winners. To the extent that Inocente is a success, the "in crowd" would like to fund it. This is revolutionary when it becomes a reliable way to fund flops. But "we the people" don't want flops, by definition. So, there's something incongruous or self-contradictory in your comment, I think.
Spicy foods hit some people really hard. You may be surprised how much better, overall, you feel if you were to cut down on the bread/pasta/dough/wheat/sugar/gluten down to once a week or so. For me, I did not even realize I wasn't feeling as great as I could be. Maybe after that, you'd be better able to handle the curry?
I wasn't actually aware of their history as a less-than-legitimate site, I guess that helped with the chicken and egg problem of content and audience.

Region licensing is definitely one of the big killers, I find it odd (read: sad) how companies can buy all the rights to a product for a region, and then not do anything useful (at least not to me) with it.
It's not actually ASCII, there are many more characters used. It is however "ASCII art", in that the characters are used to graphically represent places and objects.
Does the placebo effect work in reverse? If you try something, confident that it wont do anything, then it wont? If so, then a simple proposal. Cut gluten/wheat/bread/sugar out of your diet for a couple of weeks. If all goes your way, you will feel the same you do today. Or, maybe a bunch of people have found something that works and in a couple of weeks you will feel overall better.
I haven't really used Make in any big projects (read: 100s of files and dependencies), but that's mainly because I have a habit of breaking components into smaller projects and thus keeping things, including my Makefiles, very simple. For project structures like that, I think your tools and book are overkill, so I'll recommend this reference from Oreilly's UNIX in a nutshell. I found that this is by far the most easily digestible reference for GNU Make I can find that's free. It's fairly to the point and concise as far as reference go, you can read the whole thing and have a fairly good understanding in under an hour. It's a reference that I go to 90% of the time, the other 10% come from Google and trial and error.

Supposedly, a lot of grain sensitivity issues have been exacerbated by new high-yield wheat strains introduced in the 60s and 70s. But I think it's mostly that glutens simply weren't on most people's radar until recently, and so people simply assumed any resulting health issues were inherent or chronic. After all, everybody is supposed to eat bread, right?

I definitely wouldn’t call castling and en passant “essential”. I just now played a game of chess against the computer on the lowest difficulty, and won easily without using either of those moves. And during the game, the computer itself castled, which might have helped me to learn the move if I hadn’t known it.
The rule is not meant to be universal, and I don't say other people should adopt it, but I think it's suitable for the work that I am doing right now.

Constraints like this can really shape a piece of software, for better or for worse. My inspiration is having work with a really powerful firmware system that had a hardware constraint to fit on a 1MB flash chip, everything included, and was done so well that it looked easy. Give yourself unlimited space and it's much easier to end up with UEFI...

I suspect quite a few programs out there would have turned out better if their authors had picked a semi-arbitrary maximum value for lines of code / bytes of RAM / bytes of disk / etc.

The actual rule I'm using for now is:
- 1 second compile excluding dependencies.
- 1 minute compile including dependencies (excl C compiler).
- 1 MB executable including everything except libc and base OS.

Childish? I feel old, stuck in world where HN was civil and we didn't abuse each other with accusations of childishness.

I own an iPad and an iPad Mini. Neither has ever run so hot that it was uncomfortable to place on my lap. The review specifically states that he did experience it running too hot for his comfort. I read that the surface pro is 2 lbs, while a full-sized iPad is less than 1.5 lbs.

Nowhere did I state that company X, Y or Z will take over the world. In fact, I stated that the market for people who want a laptop and a tablet may be wll-served by the Surface Pro rather than a laptop plus a tablet.

Are you responding to my actual comment? Or are you reflexively responding to me as if I was saying things that other people are saying?
Sports is the only thing right now that does not fear piracy. After all, there isn't much value in a day-old game. It needs to be a live broadcast. Torrents, newsgroups are always "yesterday news" to real sports fans.
It is very fun to play. Fortress mode at least (where you control whole fortress of dwarves). It feels like herding cats and delaying the inevitable doom. And the doom always comes because of you missing one of the small details.

Like - one of the dwarfs went insane, cause you forgot to give him proper bed, and when he wanted to make some artifact there were no forge available for a long time.

Then he goes berserk and kills a few other dwarves. Your police force kills him, but your cemetary is full, so a few bodies were left by dwarves to rot in the cave (you shoud have checked that, but you were busy on the other level ensuring dwarves have something to eat).

After a few weeks miasma from the bodies is everywhere, and other dwarves went insane from it, killing each other. A few still sane try to stop that, you try to divide caves with doors to stop the miasma and insane dwarves, but then the sane one die or go insane from starvation. Or because their friends or partners were killed. And then goblins come :)

That's how most of the games look, but thanks to insane level of details it's much more varied. Sometimes it's flood that takes your fortress, sometimes it's lack of water, sometimes it's digging too dip and revealing subterran horrors.

The game has steep learning curve, but it's very rewarding.

Alert for Smart-phone Owners - Use Mobile Internet While in Roaming
True, but for a lot of people it is a new technology. I expect darknets to grow, perhaps helped by social media. That will also bring more content.

Any French guys here wish to chip in?
I didn't say that, what I said was that Apple's vision is that there's a market for tablets and that iPad will thrive as long as there's a market for tablets. Thrive as in 90%? 70%? 40%? 320% but 50% of the profit? Who knows.

But I don't define the tablet market as iPad and only iPad. And it's possible that Apple is wrong and that there isn't a tablet market. Maybe it's just that PCs suck so much, but given time and innovation we'll all end up with really lightweight PCs that have tablet interfaces.

This might just be a phase, just as PDAs were a phase until smartphones subsumed their functionality.
That is pretty awesome... I can't believe how much Bitcoin has grown in the past 6 months. Kicking myself for not investing.
50ShadesofDivorce-Wife inspired by erotic book says husband can't meet her needs
After owning an iPad mini I have to say that an as-light-as-possible 7'' tablet appears to be one more device that's very useful have / bring along. It allows you reading / media consumption on a device with a satisfying screen size that's as light as a medium paperback book, i.e. you can hold it for extended periods without getting tired.

Less blurry is a hint? Legibility is a binary value, and beyond a certain threshold of blur, the value is false. Period. Plus, that behavior is confusing - you should have a tool tip on hover, explaining that you need to click to reveal. You should also explain any cross-browser tricks you needed to do to get it to work, otherwise people will think this is trivial and pointless.
For those in the camp of "gluten is harmful to everybody and will kill us all"...

there is a massive experiment which has been running for over 100 years with tens of millions of people being administered massive daily doses of gluten (mostly from 100% refined white wheat in the form of pasta, bread and pizza) from birth to death.

The results show that these people live healthier and longer than average lives[1]. The experiment is called Italy :)

Sigh. Daily movements in short term market liquidity do not a causation of disparate events make. Movements happen in stock markets everyday for no apparent reason - and using these to buoy your point just shows you how you don't understand financial markets.
Wow, looks great! Too bad it's not working with django-cms though, or is it just me? Still a great extension!
The quoted description sounds much like a horoscope, and I'm sure applies to many people who would not make great product managers. There's few ambitious people who don't want to own the product.

However, if you do "naturally gravitate to product management" -- that is you find yourself in those roles or have been assigned to those roles without effort or conscious action -- then it is a good sign of fit.

"It's incredibly interesting to me that a share price in an US company can plunge just because their manufacturer in China had some surprisingly low employee churn."

Not surprising at all. Stock prices frequently rise and fall dramatically due to rumors that are completely baseless. This one, at least, has some facts behind it (which may or may not have been interpreted correctly).

I started this year of 2013 with a few New Years resolutions and one of them were to eat no or less gluten. I accidentally eat foods that are tainted with gluten or I sometimes forget to read the label-I didn't realize so much of our modern diet contain gluten! Since then I feel I have a lot more energy then I used to throughout the day and I get less acne breakouts. I have not been medically diagnosed with gluten intolerance yet because I haven't had time or the money to go to the doctor, but I do feel different in a better, healthier way.
Hopefully, this is all fixed up now. What do you think? (Take a look at the demo again, should have all the latest changes)
