Seems like those problems could be corrected by slowing down on the problematic words.
What was life like before Google? Sure there was documentation, and code comments, and senior devs you could ask. But surely that was less than Google? Or perhaps the scale of problems were less vast compared to now, so the amount of info you would get by Googling now was unnecessary back then.

Not too bad for the first shot. The audience division is standard (bloggers vs moderators). The main section needs a bit more to be the main focal point. Right now it looks as if the main focus is missing due to the amount of negative space in that main section. Also, the logo is in the mud and needs to be pushed a bit more.

But all in all, it is contemporary, consistent, and clear.
You are correct that outside of being an SOT it is illegal to make the modification; I am merely pointing out that the difference is trivial, not core.
If they know my master password, they also need to have a phone, that is correct. But if they know a single application specific password, they can read my mail just fine. How does the two-factor authentication protect me in this case?

I don't see how your example is related. Firstly, Stephan's description of the brain's role is that it regulates both appetite and metabolism. These mechanisms indirectly regulate fat storage.

Insulin of course would cause fat storage, but your example neither eliminates the other mechanisms, nor is a fault in the brain signalling system as it's an local injection. It's unrealistic to expect the system to have such a fine degree of control.

The role of insulin is to remove excess energy and funnel it into fat cells. That is of course why you see the weight gain. But that is only one part of the system.

As for your experiment, I can say it won't work on me - I typically eat until there is no food left, regardless of "fullness". In fact if I were at a buffet I would eat to actual physical fullness. Yet I do not have discomfort and I am still lean enough for me stomach muscles to show. I have stayed the same weight for the last 15 years. Thus, there has to be a regulation system, perhaps as proposed by Stephan.
If it is gear used in a hobby (and shooting is a big hobby for a lot of people), it will have modifications / upgrades sold. Cars and gaming being two big examples.

> There are three salient Boyerisms I’ve picked up in my month as an NP-Rapper that sum up these differences...On our team, these Boyerisms aren’t just preached — they’re practiced and implemented in code.

Summary: Go ahead and toss off an unusual term or slang, but don't expect it to actually inform readers if they can't Google it. If you aren't trying to inform readers, exactly what are you trying to do?

I found the unexplained use of the word "Boyerism" in this article to be confusing and unprofessional. I have nothing against the use of slang, or the expectation that readers will need to Google terms: this is the reality of our culture in the age of the Internet and excellent search. However, the casual and unexplained use of a private group's inside joke reveals a lack of awareness of how search interacts with culture. Is it a deliberate attempt to confuse and snub the larger audience, or is in unintentional?
"Most patients who come from Canada to the U.S. for health care are those whose costs are covered by the Canadian governments. If a Canadian goes outside of the country to get services that are deemed medically necessary, not experimental, and are not available at home for whatever reason (e.g., shortage or absence of high tech medical equipment; a longer wait for service than is medically prudent; or lack of physician expertise), the provincial government where you live fully funds your care."

Spare me the PC nonsense. If the roles were reversed, women would be up in arms at being degraded. Meanwhile, most of us here (mostly men, I assume), don't particularly care.

Point to a mainstream site or app that does this for men. I grew up in locker-rooms as a hockey player. We talked like this when we were young. No one I know would think it's still appropriate. And women I know find it unattractive. But yet...
Interesting, the NRA cult trying to infiltrate the "tech" community with this novel yet absurd "lol guns are for nerds because they are customizable" line.

Although there are admittedly a lot of neckbeard libertarian types that this argument would appeal to, I think most "hackers" are interested in building things that are productive and beneficial to society, and do not impose massive societal costs. The marginal social cost of household gun ownership is in the range of $100 to $1800 per year. http://home.uchicago.edu/~ludwigj/papers/JPubE_guns_2006FINA...
It's non-inclusive because men tend to be included and women tend to be excluded on an unequal basis. So "this experience applies to women" is a reminder that the experience also applies to women, which is usually forgotten.

Top down thinking is the #1 most underrated skill in large scale problem solving. However, there is an equally important need for fixing narrowly defined problems which need detailed focus. In the end you need both the engineer that projects the entire car and the one that builds the door handle.
I have seen too many people copy pasting from google and introducing bugs in the code just because they don't understand what is going on.

I know that HN is really focused toward web apps and mobile apps. However, sometimes is good to remember that there is plenty of software done also to control machines and perform mission critical tasks.
In those cases often is better to have control over the whole software stack. That is why so many High-Tech companies have their own software libraries, for example for image processing. In addition there is an IP and licensing question.

I'd hate to defend against an assailant with a bolt-action rifle in my hands. Not only can it take 5-6 shots to take someone down (depending on what drugs they are on, were the shots hit, and the caliber and velocity of the bullet), but I'd imagine that in that specific moment of shock and panic were your life is in danger, it would be kind of difficult to properly operate a weapon that requires more actions over a simple trigger pull.

The only thing that makes an AR15 and similar weapons “assault weapons” is that the general public believes that semi-automatic weapons are the same thing as fully automatic weapons, and they look scary.
By modifying it, we're talking about disassembling it, drilling a hole through a piece of metal, and reassembling it.

Multi-factor authentication means choosing from:

1. something you know (password)

2. something you have (phone, yubikey)

3. something you are (biometrics)

With Google's two-factor, logging in requires something you know (password) and something you have (phone). The 10 passwords should be locked somewhere physically safe as a fail-safe.

Two-factor authentication protects against password leaks and brute force password attacks.[0] It now takes two security failures to access your account rather than one.

On a side note, this is why secret questions are worthless as a security measure. Backing up a password with another mental fact is still single factor authentication.

[0]: Unless the attackers were able to attain your fail-safe passwords, but unlikely given the entropy and presumably Google's security.
I'm one of the owners of this blog, and genuinely interested in your input on the font size. I don't have great vision, and tend to browse everything at 110-120%, depending on the site. Is your complaint the specific pixel size, or do you think we should have used a different measurement?

As for the developer argument, the problem is that there is no hard line. How big of a project must one complete before they're a developer? You said even a small one, but Hello World is a small "project" and certainly isn't enough.

I completely agree that there is a difference between learning to code and calling yourself a developer. One problem here is that the industry uses developer, coder, and programmer interchangeably, although programmer seems to be currently falling out of favor. (I was once at a party where someone thought that I meant I was a "party programmer" or something.) Obviously they don't mean the same thing, but it's kind of like arguing over the difference between a geek and a nerd at this point.
Well what I was saying is that the women should make it obvious that they don't tolerate this behaviour. So that even somebody who's a little slow socially will get the message. Don't spare their feelings, just get the message across I guess.
There are a lot of users & developers who've been burned in the past by Twitter's moves, one way or another. The problem with requiring cash is that it does very little to encourage people to try on the service without being committed to it.

By moving to this free (with 40 people followed) model, they can allow users to try and thus get more that are likely to upgrade to the higher tier when they want more.

Developers (like @falcon_android) that have hit Twitter's token limit are also getting encouragement to move or support it - as it's not a small subset but a very large one of people who can use the service.

Not sure where you're going with this. The lightning link makes an AR15 functionally equivalent to an M16; it requires no modification to the lower; and it's no more or less safe than a "Connecticut M16" (M16 with safe-auto-auto selector).

Illegal, yes, if you aren't an SOT or aren't using a registered lightning link.i
Would you share the info? Consider: this is the sort of decision that people leave companies over, possibly in significant numbers. You put "people who were teleworking at Yahoo were 25% less productive" in the news, and that stands to poison the employment prospects of some number of them, whether or not it's true of any particular person. They, in turn, could come back and sue you over that.

Would that happen? I don't know. But I'd call it a safe bet that the lawyers are afraid of it. They could be driving a decision not to share data.
No complaints? The sponsored tweets haven't annoyed you yet? The inability to use some twitter clients because Twitter refuses to give out more licenses hasn't annoyed you yet?

I use Twitter a lot, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't jump at the first chance of a real alternative.
I (male) had exactly the same experience when I started at a software company straight out of a Physics degree (only breif experience in Fortran..) I was asserting to (someone senior, can't remember meaningless job titles) that I was "not really a developer yet," and he told me off - "you sit at a desk and do developer-y things all day!" At that point, I got over the label, and when I left 2.5 years later I noticed I had put "developer" on my twitter profile - clearly my brain had accepted it by then!
I used to think that the most dangerous thing about the AR-15 was that it had the capacity to hold 30 round magazines. I don't have a good opinion of 100 round drums, because they jam too easily.

Then I learned about the Slide Fire [1], a stock that legally gives the AR-15 full auto capability. The loophole is that the stock uses the gun's recoil to pull the trigger again, instead of the gun's internal mechanism doing it.

A good analogy to computers would be an interface that does not allow clicking a button to send multiple requests, but allows a script to click the button much faster than a human would.

> no complicated forms or sliders.

I find this very interesting. What made you want to avoid use a slider?

Personally, I really dislike such limiting options. Good, meh, bad? It doesn't let me express if I'm a little better than good or somewhere between Good and Meh. I'd often have to truncate my true expression.

For myself, I would love a single simple slider. It would let me express myself with any degree of accuracy I want. Very specific, or just rough.

Am I an exception from the average user?

Because this bugs me in so many places. So many things are in or out. I want them to be a floating point value between 0 to 1. Website favourites. I wish I could favourite them by any amount between 0 to 1, etc. (Then you could do all sorts of things like display the higher-ranked items larger, or filter displaying only >= 0.75 items). Same goes for app/movie rankings. Why do I have to truncate my feelings to 1-5 stars instead of just dropping a slider to where I feel like?
It's not only knowing how to filter the results, but knowing what to Google for in the first place. Often results will be different if the search uses slightly different terminology, and knowing what the right terminology to use is requires a little bit of domain knowledge. Once you have the domain knowledge, not only is it easier to determine what results are more likely to yield useful information, but you also get better results in the first place through better search terms.
I'm a software developer but my hobbies extend into shooting & building guns and woodworking - activities akin to tinkering and assembly. As somewhat of a non-political article, it's nice to see a mainstream showcasing of why we love our AR15s instead of just being called names (whacko, redneck, etc).
I agree with most of your points.

But this:

"Again, if you're going to make yourself more isolated and inaccessible, why work in an office to begin with?"

Working with headphones signals "don't bother me unless important" and does provides protection against a degree of interruptions and noise but still provides accessibility and potential closeness that you can't get when working remotely.
I've been using CircleCI for a few weeks now and it's really quite impressive. I hope that with more money/developer time they'll be able to get the zero-setup stuff working for more languages and platforms. The manual setup isn't too bad, but the first-use experience of just checking a box on a list of my github repos and having it magically be able to build the project and run tests was absolutely amazing.

Oh, and the favicon should spin while tests are running.

"He writes that Yahoo employees should be "angry" that the new policy was declared "without your consultation". How does he know there was no consultation? How does he know local employees didn't give feedback to management that the extra communication overhead with remote workers didn't create difficulties in collaboration?"

I'm sure they consulted every remote worker before they effectively shitcanned most of them.
Unless you define "power" as rate of fire, in this case as noted elsewhere an option for 3 round bursts, there's absolutely no difference in power. You shouldn't put 5.56 NATO rounds in a .223 chamber, that's likely to result in excessive pressure, but besides that the details matter only to those wanting the most in accuracy.

In fact, not being limited by the Hague convention, we civilians and stateside police can use rounds that are loaded with much more effective expanding bullets.
No, its obvious to me that this was a "we did it like this at Google and Google was successful" move without data

Gourmet chefs in the company restaurant, free massages and 25% pay raises for everyone? Fair deal (if working at the office is practically an option).

Our poll used a unique design to get at what is actually happening in the life of a "target child" in each household. We supplemented their responses with more than 800 that came in when we asked parents, through NPR's Facebook page, to describe their own "crunch times."

The most striking finding is that U.S. parents "get it."

When we asked a parent or other principal caregiver in our poll how important it is that their child eats and exercises in a way to maintain a healthy weight, more than 9 in 10 said it was important — and most said it was "very important."

But all too often, there's a disconnect. Despite good intentions, it's not happening. [1]

The M16 was the military designation of the CAR15. The AR15 platform is the semi-auto evolution of the rifle in the civilian market. I know I'm picky, but it's still different. There is one cloudy statement of the difference, but thereafter the author equates the two.

I've heard from many women a concern that they haven't worked on any "real" projects. They might be a college grad who did a very complex senior project, they might have built websites for a volunteer organization, there was even one that had been on a team which developed an app for a contest. They seem to think that unless they've been paid to code, the work somehow doesn't count.

The wikipedia entry also has a link to a parallelizable algo from 20+ years ago for CCL. FPGAs certainly parallel pretty easily. I wonder if your simplified optimum solution is to calculate one cell and replicate into 20x20 matrix or whatever you can fit on your FPGA and then have a higher level CPU sling work units and stitch overlapping parts together.

More practically I'd suggest your quick prototype would be slap a SoC on a FPGA that does it in your favorite low-ish level code, since it only takes hours, then very methodically and smoothly create an acceleration peripheral that begins to do the grunt-iest of the grunt work one little step at a time.

So lets start with just are there any connections at all? That seems a blindingly simple optimization. Well thats a bitwise comparison, so replace that in your code with a hardware detection and flag. Next thing you know you've got a counter that automatically in hardware skips past all blank space into the first possible pixel... But thats an optimization, maybe not the best place to start.

Next I suppose if you're doing 4-connected you have some kind of inner loop that looks a lot like the wikipedia list of 4 possible conditions. Now rather than having the on FPGA cpu compare if you're in the same region one direction at a time, do all 4 dirs at once in parallel in VHDL and output the result in hardware to your code, and your code reads it all in and decides which step (if any) was the lowest/first success.

The next step is obviously move the "whats the first step to succeed?" question outta the software and into the VHDL, so the embedded proc thinks, OK just read one register to see if its connected and if so in which direction.

Then you start feeding in a stream and setting up a (probably painful) pipeline.

This is a solid bottom up approach. One painful low level detail at a time, only one at a time, never more than one at a time. Often this is a method to find a local maximum, its never going to improve the algo (although it'll make it faster...)

"because on FPGAs you are forced to optimize right from the start" Don't do that. Emulate something that works from the start, then create an acceleration peripheral to simplify your SoC code. Eventually remove your onboard FPGA cpu if you're going to interface externally to something big, once the "accelerator" is accelerating enough.

Imagine building your own floating point mult instead of using an off the shelf one ... you don't write the control blocks and control code in VHDL and do the adders later... your first step should be writing a fast adder only later replacing control code and simulated pipelining with VHDL code. You write the full adder first, not the fast carry, or whatever.
It's team-dependent. Some teams don't allow it, others only 1-3 days a week, and others allow complete remote. In general though, you are unlikely to be allowed to unless you've been there a while.
