I'm not American but if I were and working at the DHS already and hated where things have been going, then for sure I would. I spent some time in the reserves knowing full well that I could be called to defend my country with my life. How utterly trivial in comparison losing one's job is. I wouldn't recommend it for someone with a family, kids, and a mortgage but if you're young and single, why not? Who cares about keeping a job that consists of depriving your fellow citizens of their constitutional rights?
Actually it makes the problem easier because the angle is less than 180 degrees which means the lensing happens further away from the blackhole with less noise. By my quick googling and back o' the napkin calculations using MACHO-96-BLG-5, we, the Sun and the Milky Way, have traveled about 24 light years in 6,000 years giving an angle of 179.5 degrees! OK, that didn't change much.
Do you still play flight sims? Apparently Matt Wagner is with Eagle Dynamics now, who are shipping a very good flight simulator series called DCS (a follow-on to LOMAC). Their next study plane is the F/A-18C, and I am extremely looking forward to it!

Falcon 4 came a long way since then too, thanks to the humungous effort of the community (and a source code leak). Look up Falcon 4 BMS if you're interested.

From a former tweaker I know: smoked meth (or even hotrails) is in an entirely different class, but swallowing methamphetamine powder (capped or in a paper "parachute") isn't noticeably different in peak intensity from the 30mg IR adderall pills, but the meth lasts much longer.

Insufflated meth is higher peak than comparable by weight adderall powder (crushed up pills), but just increasing the adderall quantity makes up for that.

The hard part for me to understand is that I've got way more than just a single file. I've got hundreds of coffee script files for a rather complex nodejs/express app.

I start it up with something like this:

nodemon -w . lib/start/web.coffee

or in production:

coffee lib/start/web.coffee

That web.coffee file then require's a chain of files.

If I try to compile the source maps for all of my files first, using something like this:

mkdir .compile
coffee -m --output .compile --compile ./

In the .compile folder, there is a few oddly named subdirectories (d, b, rands, sc) with the compiled .js files in there and the respective .map files. This seems to totally break my require chain.

Since I don't normally pre-compile all my coffee script files, I just run them directly using nodemon or coffee, how can I work the maps into my dev process?

I have a similar problem where when I open and unlock my MBP (late 2012 w/ 15" Retina).. 5 seconds later the screen goes black and its locked again. I can unlock again no problem, but its a bit annoying
It also resets itself to Top Stories say, every day or so. I would say I am surprised that with all the engineering talent Facebook has they can't manage to remember this one setting I have made about 20 times, but I am not that naive.
He never said if they were prescribed or not. He could be prescribed them and simply not taking them for a while. If they were prescribed, you can only have one prescription of 30 day supply filled every 30 days for them (in the United States).
Sigh :)

I mean they're examples of searches you can do on Adioso, many/most of which take a lot of time and many repetitive searches on other sites.

The Hawaii search you tried came up with the same fares as Kayak when I tried it. It may well have timed out for you, which is part of the performance challenges this post is mostly about.

But it occurs to me your approach to travel doesn't make you the intended customer for this product, so I won't try to persuade you further :)

8 Predictions for Private Companies in 2013
Sounds like at least some of them are finally starting to get it.
I think having something like a talk/Q&A show where people can ask questions over Facebook or Twitter and you show just that message on the screen as they talk about it is really cool. But almost always when I see Facebook and Twitter on TV it's just a feed of random people's comments about what's going on.

I can't honestly say I've ever seen one of the latter that hasn't annoyed the crap out of me and just distracted from the show I wanted to watch... It'd be nice if the main video and the overlay could be delivered separately so you could have the option to turn it off (like you can turn off annotations on YouTube video). Hopefully when all our video content comes over the internet and not broadcast.
They have a computer in every living room. They could be the point through which all media runs, through which all console games are played, a total disruption to the TV industry, and they have squandered it on some of the worst software I have used in a long time.

Yet Apple will eventually release something "visionary" (i.e. a TV with software that works well), and they are going to spend years making second-rate copies of it.

The difference with TV is that content is a big differentiator, and it could well end up playing out in such a way that you need an Apple TV to watch certain shows.
You are reciting talking points. How about GPS, weather prediction, the highway system?
I'd personally support BIG/negative income tax if it were universal and thus eliminated the administrative overhead and political power of other special interests created by special programs for the poor. Even as a libertarian who is generally against government intervention (mainly because it distorts the economy, but also because it's inefficient), this seems like the best realistic tradeoff we could make.

It's unclear to me if it should be a cash payment or basic life support (barracks-style housing, food) available for the asking; advantages and disadvantages to each. There are probably people who are incapable of managing their own affairs (the mentally ill, orphans, aged), but for other people, cash is more appropriate -- letting an entrepreneur decide that buying a new laptop is worth eating sub-standard food for a few months.
True, there are certainly jobs for skilled filmmakers , chefs etc.

But on the other hand there aren't any jobs for tellers at video rental stores (they are probably replaced by a lower number of software developers at netflix).
> I think stories like these are both helpful and harmful.

These things worry me too. For those of us that Adderall genuinely helps, what do we do if some scaremongers make it (and similar stimulants) inaccessible to us? Crap. I did the math on it once and it turns out it's cheaper to make your own meth lab than continue to buy for the rest of your life. Plus, if things go south, you always have yourself covered.
It's odd about technology. The more pervasive it becomes before it legislators are aware of it, the harder it is to crack down upon. I don't know what the legal challenges will be to the widespread use of BitCoin in commerce, but I'm sure there will be some.
I'm not sure some one like that would actually work in the DHS. It would be anathema to them. Is it possible to sue them for this? Even if you yourself have not yet had your rights removed?

The CDPATH variable tends to be somewhat ambiguous, to me at least. Appreciate for your comment though!
Depends on how much time you have and how big we're talking about. If you have years, or lets say a decade, you'd probably try a bunch of things in parallel. Some strategies could be crazier than others, but you wouldn't waste too much time on things that have huge technological risk. Landing a automated mining robot + mass driver seems far-fetched. As does painting it (for something kilometers in diameter, how would that work exactly?)

So you're probably talking about one or more kinetic impactor missions to try and deflect it billiard ball-style. Before those actually launch, the laser-ablation strategy seems like a pretty attractive option to do in parallel. You'd build an array of lasers that ablate the surface of the asteroid, ejecting material that works as reaction mass. Northrop has 100kw solid-state lasers working right now:
http://optics.org/news/1/7/13

Seems plausible that you could get something up and running quickly to see if it would work. Before either scaling it up or dropping back on the riskier impactor missions.

But as always, your brain maps that information jungle to something familiar if you keep using it and it's not that complicated anymore.

After giving it some time, it's no different than pinpointing maps icon in home screen where there are other icons each with different color. At least I haven't heard anyone using Metro interface enough complaining about finding things. There are just more info on a given Metro home screen than iPhone or Android home screen, and I'm sure iPhone screen is quite complicated for someone using a Nokia 3110 for sometime.
i got my mbp 15 (ordered online) begin of february - it worked for 5 days then it was done.

i already noticed that i had big fan issues, and wondered about it, because co-worker has the same model and has no issues with the fans, and normally they only start when he is gaming, what is ok.

so i had some problems, but said "okey"... on day 5 i went afk from my mbp to play a round of fifa13, when i came back, i had a black screen and only saw my mouse courser, reboot showed flickering apple-logo, dir-icon, etc.

i tried everything to get my system back (after 5 days had not started with time machine) - no chance at all, the sdd was done...

my luck: in the next city we have an apple store, so i made an appointment for the next morning went there, they tested again the ssd, because i guess the normal case for them is: THE CUSTOMER IS STUPID, OTHERWISE HE WOULD NOT PAY THAT MUCH MONEY FOR THAT CRAPPY HARDWARE...

after the "genius guy" noticed that the ssd was crashed, he was like "ok i guess on the retina the ssd is not changeable anymore...let me talk to my boss what we can do for you, so that you get your mbp in 1-2 days, because its not ok then it will take 2 weeks on a 5 day old mbp until u get it back"

15 mins later he came back, and was like "ok it is possible to change the ssd, and we have one here..."

he changed it, reinstalled osx and i payed 0,00 - left the building...

since then i never heard anything back from my fans (only when i'm playing www.heroesofnewearth.com =D )

p.s.: it is my first mbp, and i really pissed already, all my co-workers have apple products too, and everybody is getting pissed and more pissed from day to day...apple hardware is getting crappy...
Chiming in here to say that I moved all my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap, too. Fantastic service so far.
My impression from reading about the "brouhaha" here on HN is that people were mainly talking about the flaws of the policy itself. A lot of friction and hot air, but fundamentally, taking away a major employee perk isn't going to be easy even if it's obvious-in-black-and-white better for everyone, and this one is very grey. The one thing most people seem to agree on is that Yahoo! is not in a great position to be making stern pronouncements—after all, there are better companies hiring on both sides of the debate.

I see very little of this as having anything to do with Mayer-as-Mayer or Mayer-as-a-woman and almost all the reaction here having to do with Mayer-as-a-technology-CEO. Can't speak for the greater world, though I think my coworkers would agree out here in the middle of nowhere.

But I'm really here to bellyache about the format of this content. There are so many blog posts that read "Paragraph 1. In this post I'm going to tell you X. Paragraph 2: X! Paragraph 3: In conclusion, I think X." The length here is an improvement but I'm not sure a three page essay really warrants a table of contents of five parts.
I did something similar with my Ruby Weekly list (basically removed 1000 folks from a 18,000 list) and sent a message saying what I'd done and invited them to resubscribe if I'd got it wrong and.. I got quite a few nasty mails. People ranting that they read with images off or saying that I didn't appreciate their subscription if they didn't click on things, etc. Nonetheless, open rates did improve significantly.

Lesson learned.. if I do it again, I won't send the mail telling people I have ;-)

>Not everyone can program (beyond simple tasks)

This is true. And not everyone can write like shakespeare, but that doesn't mean that those who aren't going to ever be very good at it don't benefit from learning the basics of reading and writing.

Most people can learn how to read and write, and yeah, even though most people never get very good at either one? even basic literacy vastly improves your economic value.

I would argue that programming is a lot like basic literacy; Sure, most people aren't going to be able to do anything very complex; but if you can't handle a spreadsheet? you are at a serious, serious disadvantage.

Personally, I think most people would be vastly better off if our schools taught some very basic variant of python (or basic or something) High school should teach average and above children the basics of putting together a database interface with something like 'access' (or some other GUI... personally, I think something open-source would be most appropriate, but I don't know anything open-source that is as dead simple as microsoft access of the '90s.)

But yeah, things like programming spreadsheets? that should be taught to everyone; like basic math and reading, pains should be taken so that even the worst students get some of it.

Microsoft unveils self-sketching whiteboard prototype
By “CoffeeScript for C“, I think Onr means not supporting all of CoffeeScript’s features in C, but rather making a language that is very much like C, but better. So CoffeeScript for C wouldn’t try to implement `@foo` to mean `this.foo`, since there is no `this` in C. Rather, it would look at the common idioms in C that are more verbose than they need to be and shorten them.

CoffeeScript for C would probably use semantic whitespace, like normal CoffeeScript. Maybe it would make writing types easier – it would support a syntax for types that doesn’t require the use of http://www.cdecl.org/. It would still try to be “just C”, so it wouldn’t support much higher-level features like function closures.

Yeah, many people forget that the US was at the time a very divided place* and what resulted in the Constitution was a compromise that no one really liked (in that no one got everything they wanted), but everyone agreed upon. The founders in the North, such as John Adams[1], were against slavery, while ones in the South were either indifferent/paradoxical or outright advocated for it. The fact it took hundreds of thousands of lives to unite us around 70 years later is a consequence of one of those great divisors. Even as progressive as the United States was at the time (compared to the rest of the European World), comparing our own ideas of freedom and equality to those of the late 18th century in a young nation with many people more concerned with living than education is kind of a fallacy.

I think most of the founders thought the issue of slavery would die out on its own in the next couple generations, but unfortunately, the cotton gin came along 30 or so years later and made it profitable once again. I do wonder if it had been known that such an invention would come about a short time later if that would have changed the way the constitution was written.

*Many were also flat out against a constitution because they felt it gave the federal government too much power.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the calculations involved in all of this. The fact that we're on one wobbly, fast-moving planet looking at another fast-moving, wobbly planet predicting the trajectory of a sputtering fast-moving comet and re-calibrating the orbits of mars-orbiting telescopes so their out of danger but looking at the comet while it goes past is just astounding.

I won't be impressed, however, if said comet takes out curiosity. Would give a good first-person shot of what planetary extinction looks like though.

If the slowness seen as being a problem for your visitors then why not flip it around? Change their expectations about what flight search is.

The search is obviously going to take a while because your site is so powerful and you're doing things that no one else can. Adioso isn't a dumb search engine that makes you do all the work - it's an automated travel agent that will churn through hundreds of flights and email you with a selection of the very best in a short amount of time. It even understands language like a real travel agent.

Check out my new sports startup Chestbumpp
Chestbumpp allows you to create and join sports groups to compete with athletes in your area. Each group will be for a specific sport and it will have an overall skill level and time/location where the group usually meets. I'm also thinking about giving players a rep or allowing other players to give each other "props" to keep the community competitive. What do you think of the idea? I'd really appreciate your feedback since this will be my first startup. Thanks.

Here is PSD version for Designers - http://designmodo.com/flat-free/
"There's no visual cues to let me know that there's sub menus"

It is a fairly common pattern in nav menus to have an indicator -- the unread count or down arrow in this case -- at the top level, but not at the second or third level, and instead rely on simply hovering on the submenu to open the next level.

"there's no visual cues to let me know the buttons are clickable until I am already interacting with them"

Except one of the most powerful cues, action verbs in button copy. You could easily make the same claim you just made about say, menu item styles in OSX. The reason why the buttons seem so bad in this case is in part because it's just a demo with a wall of buttons.

Where I agree with people critical of flat designs, such as what Nielsen says, is that it breaks down in anything with anything particular complicated or with many menus and actions. That clutter of meaningless buttons at the top of the demo is a good example. But for cases where you have a simple design that can be driven by color and typography, it can work. Have a little imagination. There is no 100% good or bad trend in design. Just different solutions for different problems.

>She had a substance abuse problem

This is true. However, a lot of people will take away the message 'stay off adderall' whereas

(1) some people apparently benefit from it,
(2) some people whom doctors wouldn't prescribe to may benefit (e.g. the mathematician Paul Erdös took ritalin, a similar drug),
(3) all people who abuse drugs do so because of personality problems -- thus if she hadn't taken adderall then she may well have gotten into some other drug or obsession leading to some other addiction or disorder
Let's say I think that in one year's time Bitcoin will be gone. And let's say I want to put my money where my mouth is and want to short Bitcoin. Presumably there's a lot of people who think that Bitcoin is going to appreciate and thus should be happy to give me a low-interest loan. And yet there is no way to get a Bitcoin-denominated loan. Does this mean that people don't really believe Bitcoin will be with us in one year's time?
