Yep, using macros are the way to go for a task like this one. I'd use 'A' here to jump into the insert mode at the end of line though (commenting because '$i' part made me realize that I had probably never used '$' for movement at all).
FreeBSD supports some 802.11n cards, doesn't it? https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi80211n
The idea here is you can still use them, this just provides a higher level protocol/interface or standard that works across both, I love clean urls and context so I love this. Smart components, overarching director/handler/navigator, basically the web and game component architecture.

If you are making cross platform apps you have something like this but taking from web frameworks routing within apps is the best way to do this if you run from web, app, desktop and need a common system which the platforms then use system specific libs after.

The worst thing you can do making cross platform apps and games fast is to fall too in love with a great feature of one platform when you can standardize non essential stuff like this and simplify (i.e if you want server synced profiles using a cross platform solution over iCloud for instance, but maybe iCloud is an additional sync from your system on iOS but not the base). Then really beef up the areas where you do need to use system lock-in features for performance or familiarity.
I would then counter with "if you redline the engine and throw the car into a low gear, the transmission and the engine may both be damaged or even destroyed". Yes: there are cars (both automatic and manual, as this problem can affect either) where this is mitigated by a bunch of fancy electronics, but that is unlikely to be true of the really powerful cars that are designed under the premise that the driver can be trusted (like git).
Where are the scammers getting the data indicating the resident listed at this address drives a Toyota Camry? Obviously they don't have the data linking the car make to the owner, or else the mail would be addressed to the fiancé of the author rather than the author himself. I wonder if they are using a simple Name:Address mapping (certainly not hard to obtain) and then indexing the color and make of the cars with Google maps.

Clearly the data for name/address pairs and car/address pairs come from different sources. Otherwise there would be no false positives like the author's letter.

(Also, why don't they just use a different phone number for each letter? Or even sets of 3 letters?)

Dumbbell bench requires more stabilization muscles, but you'll be able to build more raw upper body strength with barbell bench.

I did dumbbell bench exclusively for close to a year, and got to the point that I could get 5 reps with the 120 pound dumbbells. However, when I moved over to barbell bench, there was surprisingly litte transfer - no real difference from where my barbell bench was before I started doing dumbbell.

Absolutely agree on squats and deadlifts. Squats should be the cornerstone of a strength program.

Are you kidding me? This is what being a hacker is all about... Getting access to a computer for the first time, immediately trying to figure everything out. Add on the fact that she's in a country that strongly encourages going into other fields and the fact that there probably isn't much support to go into this field and you've got a very inspiring story.

Then getting the "obsession" to figure everything out, trying out linux (or other open source OS's), and going from there to become proficient with programming.

I think this is very relevant to me as well as other hackers.
How much is your success dependent on those around you?

This struck me as extraordinary:

“My strongest early memory is of my dad dragging me through very deep snow on a sled,” he said. “I looked up at him and he seemed annoyed at me. Perhaps it was tough work, dragging me, or perhaps I had been crying. And I realized that—hang on—he’s actually a real person, with his own perception of things. It’s not just me looking at things; he is also looking at things.”

I wonder if it's rare for someone so little to experience empathy so powerfully. Certainly I don't recall realizing anything like that until much later.

The whole story about Notch and his father is very moving.

I've gotten bug reports for Hackety Hack where people say "I can't copy and paste from the lessons. Can you fix that?" I reply (obviously at more length and warmth) "Working as intended."
>In France, putting classified information online is illegal even you don't know they are classified.

>the mere fact of knowing classified information without being mandated is illegal (yes, even by accident). The second one that destroying, stealing or copying such information is illegal (yes, it's unnecessary considering that to do that you have already committed 1). The third (unnecessary too) states that sharing this information with the public is illegal too.

That is comically absurd. Thank you for the detailed explanation.
"If French nuclear weapons (Force de Frappe) were used, the fire order may pass through this relay."

Have you actually seen him coding? From what I have heard/seen on video, he is very fast, his code is readable and relatively concise (for Java). And efficiently displaying this giant fully-modifiable voxel world on all types of hardware is no small feat. Also the procedural landscape generation is fairly brilliant. And the whole crafting system that allowed for world modification. I think you should give him credit for doing a great execution of some really cutting edge ideas.
good job executing. I met with some of you and your team when this was just an idea. glad to see students following through and actually pushing out products.

True, that issue was never actually decided. The courts don't usually take an interest-balancing approach with respect to freedom of speech though. It seems unlikely that kind of restriction would be upheld.
What specifically are you pointing to within that blog post and comment stream? (Let's make sure I look at exactly what you mean me to see.)
> The experiment ran on until the experimental group of mice lived for more than 21 months. The scientists decided to run the experiment again, documenting it this time not as a laboratory experiment, but as a formal scientific study. Yet whatever the results may yield, Andrei Bekarev insists that he doesn’t intend to put out an ‘anti-ageing pill’ on the market, because the drug-testing for such use on humans could drag on for a hundred years.

I don't even dare to ask: Do they have any peer review publication of any of their "results"? This looks more like an infomercial.
A musician might.

There aren't that many professions were a decent piece of work that makes one person happy can scale up to make a million people happy with minimal marginal effort.
The last sentence hints at some kind of conspiracy or upvoting-ring, but of all stories this one seems least likely to be due to something like that. It may just be the case that your interests and what you find relevant are not actually generalizable to the HN community at large.

I actually like stories like this. Stories of people being driven to better themselves and their lives and using the internet to open doors that never would have been possible even 10 years ago. If HN just became story after story like this then, yes, it would be tiresome, but I don't think we are in any near-term danger of that happening.

Having a broad range of stories, even some that are not strictly about tech in some way that would personally benefit you, is good for a community, unless we want to develop some sort of echo-chamber where all we ever read/think/talk about is <insert pet technology topic here>. I have met people who are like that, I choose not to associate with them for a reason.

Nice to have routing that takes live status into account, but it's a bit limited since it only does station->station and doesn't do buses. Often if a line is closed you're better off going to a different, nearby station and walking or taking a bus rather than trying to get to the exact one you normally do.

How buildings Learn" by Stewart Brand from 1994 (a really great book)

Yes. Stewart Brand should need no introduction to readers of HN for his many influences on high-tech industry, but I'm always telling friends about How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built,

http://www.amazon.com/How-Buildings-Learn-Happens-Theyre/dp/...

especially friends who study architecture.
I'm surprised they're going into other markets when they haven't even started phase 2 for Kansas City (getting the rest of the metro signed up).
Just curious - how is wireless data for you in NYC? On my iPhone 4S (AT&T) Manhattan speeds are much, much slower than say Baltimore suburbs.
If they aren't that hard to fix, why hasn't Ubuntu fixed them? Remember, this guy had a support contract.
If possible increase the transmit output milliwatts, to "shout over" the other signals on the same channel.

Increase the beacon period of your router/AP to the fastest it will go, usually 20 microseconds. I think this is the best solution of anything you could try.

Maybe play around with the DTIM interval but I'm not sure what a good number for that is; too low supposedly drains batteries of wireless devices and too high causes other problems.

Max out RTS/CTS but you may lose overall throughput but that's no loss if it suck already, in for a lamb in for a sheep.

There are other settings too most explained in the help section of the AP/router help menu. They can be obscure but fiddling with them can help your AP signal a lot.

That's my unofficial educated guess theory.
I suppose this points out a social function that malicious software can fill.

The discovery of methods to identify TOR traffic in the pursuit of reigning in malicious software, should encourage the TOR network to become less easily detectable before authoritarian governments manage to shut it down more effectively.

He was theoretically free during the questionning, and free to not comply with the demand — theoretically.

The OP writes that he was threatened to be held in custody (French: "garde à vue"). This is a common trick of the French police: when people are held in custody, they have the right to an attorney and to keep silent, which the police don't like. So the police question "free" people and threaten them to hold them in custody if they don't cooperate obediently. Most people (especially good citizens) are scared of being held in custody, so the trick works quite well: people answer every single question and have no attorney, despite their right (and interest) to do otherwise.

In the present case, the charges (had any been pressed — he was there as a free person) would have been akin to terrorism, which means that the custody would have been under anti-terrorism rules: a very unpleasant experience that can last up to 96 hours. So the pressure was very high, despite his being "free".
Every router I ever owned that I put Tomato firmware on I could never get any version of QoS to work correctly.

It's a free firmware and great other than QoS but who am I to complain :/

God says...

shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it
not.

24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.

24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
If you are bored in the San Francisco Bay Area the problem is likely internal rather than where you live, so moving (even to somewhere awesome like Austin) will not resolve it.
What specifically about TOR's TLS stream allows it to be identified as TOR traffic? The article simply says to load pcap files into the tool ...

Makes me feel like reading the article was a waste of time. I want technical details.
This is cool, but to be a little OT: every time I see "Hacker School" I get a little more confused.

Being a hacker isn't something you can teach someone. It's a mindset. You either have it or you don't. I think most people can understand this, so then "Hacker School" would imply that it's a school for hackers. This is somewhat confirmed by their about page:

> You should genuinely enjoy programming. That's most important. We spend our time talking about technical problems and writing code, not working on startups and products. If you care more about startups than coding, you won't enjoy Hacker School. We look for curiosity, passion, raw intelligence and a desire to build things. The best way to show us this is to have a track record of writing code and learning new things. If you're a smart, curious person who loves coding, it will come out naturally. Don't try to trick us. It probably won't work and it won't get you what you want anyway.

Sounds like a description of a hacker to me. But then I get confused about why "Hacker School" was chosen. You go to "Law School" to learn about law, to become a lawyer, not because you already are one and just want to improve. You go to (a good) "Game School" to learn to build video games, not because you already build video games.

So I guess in summary: "Hacker School" seems inappropriately named. Perhaps "Hacker Bootcamp" would be more fitting, given the goals of the school, or even "School for Hackers"? I guess both sound less likely to drum up sensationalist media headlines, though.

How I Busted a Thief Who Tried to Sell My Camera on Craigslist
The education example is interesting because it's the only one of those which tends to be heavily unionised in most western countries at least. So that probably explains why the wages are concave. It's also one that benefits greatly from physical proximity, so there will be a demand for a fairly high number of teachers because they don't "scale" as well.
Although MOOCs may change that a bit.

Based on what I have heard from friends who are teachers, getting paid more as a teacher is usually done via being promoted to a leadership position (i.e headteacher etc) which has more to do with politics than teaching skill. Or getting seniority with experience (measured in years) which does not necessarily correlate with skill either.

This means that teachers who teach well do so because they are intrinsically motivated to teach rather than for the money but of course they do need some money to eat.

I wonder if this could be applied to other fields.

For example, would you rather be paid a guaranteed fixed lower middle class wage to hack on open source projects all day with a 0% risk of starvation but equally a 0% chance of getting rich but you do get a pay rise after 5 years and another after 10 years.

Or would you rather work for peanuts at a startup with a 1% chance of becoming a multi-millionaire?

And would there be difference in how motivated you were to do your best work in either scenario?
I agree! My girlfriend and I both found the experience incredibly emotional. It has been a long time since a website has gotten me misty eyed...
Just to make it clear, Texas does not have a state income tax. California has one of the highest.
