Ask HN: what tools do you use for UI mockups?
I am currently trying to choose a product for making UI prototypes. So far I've found these : Balsamiq, FlairBuilder, Moqups, JustInMind, Axure RP. So I was wonderng if anyone had any experience with them or other ones?
But that doesn't explain why (Big Bike) is fine, and so is (Red Bike) but (Red (Big Bike) seems somehow wrong - odd or forced, and would only be used in some special case.

The only explanation is that we use internal, unnoticed rules for which order these adjectives occur in.
That makes sense.

I guess there should be a better label for the y axis though.
In the case of Adapteva, I think it's helped along because their starting point is fairly standard. Using Arm, Ansi C, Ubuntu, etc. They have an fpga on their board, and then their specialized parallel processing chip. They support OpenCL. I'm not a compiler guy, but it seems to me that various concepts can be injected at different levels of this hardware stack, slowly but surely, without having to create the entire thing from scratch.
That's not what I'm saying. You can build great software for free. However there are certain things that need money thrown at them, things which require a lot of R&D (e.g. Siri). Unless you have a way to gain financially from the software you won't get the money to put into the R&D and the product won't get built. Basically I'm not saying that great software won't be built for free but that there are taking a risk as there is are a lot of things that can't be built for free.
Well, you can still do double-floats, combining two 32-bit floats for a greater precision. While that doesn't get you full double precision, it just might be enough. And of course you can extend the same idea to implement quad-floats and so on.

Doesn't make sense. Who here thinks they typed that in manually for every single CC they got? They didn't, encryption/decryption was automated, meaning anyone could have done it if they had access to the process that normally does.

Also, the post says salted sha256 passwords are useless. Evidently, they do not have a clue how to safely store passwords, because that is not useless at all.

Finally, it's an outright lie that systems were not accessible, because we already know that they hacked seclists.org/nmap. Even their previous post acknowledged this.

The beauty of Git in Dropbox
I have been debating with friends about the power of git merged to the simplicity of Dropbox.

Hear me out. I can see a very cool feature when using git within a dropbox folder.

Imagine you are working on several computers (one at home, one at work, one laptop). With git, you can (obviously) pull to get the latest version of your branch on all your devices. But if you put your git repo on dropbox, you just fire your laptop on and your project will be up to date !

What do you think about this workflow ? Would you do this ? Do you see any problems with this usage ? I would love to hear more.

In web languages threading is often not the win that people think it will be. True web scale is serving 1000s of requests per minute if not second. Each of those users is a "thread" in Python, Java, Etc. So enabling multiple threads per users robs Peter to pay Paul. For this reason the Async model doesn't offer the huge performance gains in deployed code to enterprise scale, that it offers to single users trying to build fast one off projects.
It definitely still means a transsexual prostitute. I can't find any mention at all of this managerial definition anywhere.

I'm not disputing that it is used that way in certain circles, but it isn't common. Also, ladyboy is often used as a term of hatred and abuse against transsexual people, so if you keep using it like that eventually you're going to be in a situation where you come across like some old guy casually talking about "niggers in the woodpile" and that would be bad. (I'm not saying it's equivalent, just that it could land you in equivalently hot water. You know what I mean.)

None of which suggests that the stated rules (or "guidelines", if you prefer) are "more opinion than fact". Yes, they are not as strict as rules of, say, mathematics; and you won't be thrown in jail by the grammar police for braking them. However, there is a customary way of ordering adjectives, and ignoring it will make you sound less natural.

I am in a strange (though these days perhaps not that unusual) situation of speaking English as a second language but being more comfortable with it than with my native tongue. I was never in a primary school and was never officially taught any grammar rules. Yet to me, "red big coat" sounds as strange as it would to a native speaker.

A language is defined by its usage, and the rules/guidelines do shift with time. However, at any particular point there are definitely a "right" and a "wrong" way to construct a sentence. Therefore these rules (weak as they are) are definitely not just "opinion" that can be freely ignored. A rule defined by custom is still a rule.

Moonshots get made from time to time, however:

* Intel's iAPX "mainframe in a chip" project [1] was aimed at directly supporting HLL features,

* The Rekursiv chip project [2] was intended for an objected-oriented language,

* The Transputer was meant to support Occam [3]

and there have probably been others.

How America Fails Its Informal Settlers
No. Point-to-point communications over RF will work (unless they're jamming a very large range of the spectrum, but then there's probably bigger problems.) When you hear about repeaters, they're used to repeat the low-powered handheld VHF/UHF signal (~5W max) to a stronger signal so more people can hear it. Repeaters are controlled and maintained by volunteers and not the government. They don't even allocate fequencies for repeaters. Registering is voluntary and it's controlled by local frequency coordinators who are again just volunteers.

The FCC and the government takes a very hands off approach to Amateur Radio. They'd rather have them be self-patrolled than get involved. the only time the FCC really gets involved is when people transmit out of amateur bands or when someone transmits without a license, but even in those cases it's usually amateurs that initiate the action.

The metric OP uses (total # packages dived by the # years the language exists) is misleading.

Node.js is new, a lot of people are trying to solve a lot of problems that aren't solved yet. Once they're solved and have a more or less standard solution the rate at which new packages are released will drop, simply because most problems will have been solved.

From the first article:

Let’s be generous and assume that the overall multiplier on tax cuts is 1. Then the per-year effect of the plan on GDP is 150 x 1 + 240 x 1.5 = $510 billion. Since it takes $300 billion to reduce the unemployment rate by 1 percentage point, this is shaving 1.7 points off what unemployment would otherwise have been.

Finally, compare this with the economic outlook. “Full employment” clearly means an unemployment rate near 5 — the CBO says 5.2 for the NAIRU, which seems high to me. Unemployment is currently about 7 percent, and heading much higher; Obama himself says that absent stimulus it could go into double digits. Suppose that we’re looking at an economy that, absent stimulus, would have an average unemployment rate of 9 percent over the next two years; this plan would cut that to 7.3 percent, which would be a help but could easily be spun by critics as a failure.

The math is obvious... if the economy was going to 9% unemployment without stimulus (which we now know was too optimistic), with the same composition of tax cuts : spending, $1T would be called for. Since we peaked at 10% unemployment, even with ~1T in stimulus (which should've had a ~4% impact on the rate), with this math, $2.25T could've been about right.

The CBO looked back at real output / unemployment and made the following estimates.[1]

- http://www.usnews.com/dbimages/master/29996/GR_120620_gdprec...

Which shows the impact of the ARRA. So it seems that between 2-3% reduction in peak unemployment with ~1T. So again, something like $2.5T would've been close.

The point all along is that too little stimulus is far more damaging than too much, and with unemployment still above 7.5% five years later, that point seems to have some evidence.

Baofeng UV-3R or UV-5R. They aren't the most user friendly radios in the world, but they're cheap and put out decently clean signals. They're actually commercial radios, but they can transmit on the amateur bands. Note that they can also transmit and receive out of those bands, too.

There is no difference other than looks in all the variants that are out there (UV-5RA, UV-5R+, etc.)
Personally, I've always mentally preferred an ordering with the noun first followed by increasing levels of restrictiveness. In my head, that's how I think. I then have to translate that into proper English grammar.

It makes sense to me because I'm providing as much detail as necessary, but giving as much detail up front as possible. For example, when saying "the [adjective_detailed], [adjective_general] [noun]", what if the last word were lost? Then you'd have no idea what the phrase was about. And for the listener, you start with the most useless of detail and have to remember it, applying it to more useful of information as it comes in, and you have no idea what's being spoken about until you've heard the end. So then you have to backup and apply the adjectives once you've actually heard the noun. It makes (IMO) bad structure for parsing. Conversely, with the most general detail first, you drill down to the necessary level of detail as you speak, and continuously describe something the listener already heard.
In order to execute a total functional language, you have to basically split the processor into two. I'll call these two parts the evaluator and the executor.

* It's the evaluator's job to evaluate expressions. Expressions are primitive recursive so they always normalize.

* The executor's job is to talk to the outside world and to provide data to the evaluator and receive commands from the evaluator. It also can't get stuck in an infinite loop; it must eventually provide data to the evaluator after receiving a command.

The only way an infinite loop can happen is if the evaluator and the executor get stuck together.

When I said processor before, I was referring to the part that did the processing: i.e. the evaluator.
Look at the absorption spectra at http://omlc.ogi.edu/spectra/hemoglobin/index.html. Green is ~510nm, red is ~650nm, blue is ~475nm. The difference between the absorption of Hb and HbO2 in the red range is the reason why pulse oximeters use red. In this case, we don't care about differentiating oxy- vs. deoxy-hemoglobin, we just care about the total absorption. Since more light is absorbed at green than at red, it will show more of an effect with pulse.

I am not confident in this explanation, and still don't know why green over blue.
I worked in Roxbury; we never believed our city was safe. Stray bullets are a fact of life. A third of people who get shot to death are shot by the cops. It's not like it's the 70's in Chicago or anything, but it's never "safe".

But we don't need perfect safety to be proud. The most common statement going around my social networks is "Most of what you need to know about Bostonians is summed up in the fact that their blood banks were already full today". People lend each other their cell phones regularly. Those hospitals are always saving lives. These things are part of being decent human beings. Just because there are non-decent human beings out there can't diminish that.

We are cynical, because we have to be. But in cynicism we've found hope for ourselves, because we can be different.

Right, and we pay soldiers extra to be in hazardous situations - yet when push comes to shove we're still responsible for getting them out.

We don't leave people to die because we paid them and they knew the risks. We don't leave firefighters in burning buildings and we don't leave miners underground, either.
