Thank you. I think hiding the toolbar with a small "show navbar" button will be far more appropriate for us moving forward. We knew it could be a bit of distracting but after the feedback we've gotten its clearly something to be fixed.
combinatorics as the whole is quite interesting. i've done an implementation that arranges different fixed-dimension flooring panels into rooms of different sizes.

Ask HN: Parents of 2 month old baby. Going nuts with stress
I never thought I will ask HN for this but since this place is awesome in terms of advice on life events, I have decided to share my story. I hope that this post does not come as attention seeking or anything like that. I genuinely want to hear your opinions on our case.

So basically we just became proud and happy parents of a baby girl and she is just about 2 months old. Perfectly healthy baby and everything that matters is in good shape. Now, I understand that becoming a parent with a newborn is challenging and I am not expecting an easy way out but the stress has been phenomenal. We kind of planned things but were sloppy here and there and suddenly find us in a lot of stress. We have family support around us but they cannot be there every day including the nights which are toughest. Our baby wakes up every 3 hours on average for milk and her mother is pumping milk. We are facing difficult nights and even though my wife is still in her maternity leave, I have to go to work and leave our house latest by 7:30 AM. We tried babysitter to help out but it did not turn out well (not the focus of this post). Last night, my wife was almost yelling at the baby because she won't drink the milk and it was really frustrating. This needs to change.

Our own relationship (wife and I) seems shaky suddenly and she has started resenting me. I don't know if it is temporary but it is not pretty. I am trying to be patient with her thinking it could be the hormones etc. but every other day, there is something new that she blames me for. I m not taking it personally but it is hard.

Question is: other than family support, google (babycenter.com etc.), what else can we do to figure things out better ? I am sure there are many experienced parents on HN and any advice for dealing with a newborn will be useful. I just seem to be lost right now even though I am usually a very confident and "I know what I am doing" kind of person. Not in this case :( Wife does not even know I am posting on HN.

Ask HN: When is $20 VPS not enough?
I know this question is vague, so if someone can share their stories like when they started out, what was their setup and what was the point when they had to think about scaling up.

I have an RoR app which I am about to launch in beta. The response time/load time is somewhere between 50ms to 300ms(fluctuating). I would like to know how soon I might have to think about scaling up(hardware).

Is going for dedicated hardware initially a good idea? My guess is that will reduce the load time further.
The majority of responses to this are the same criticism I've had with the source material (Sandberg's book). A few twists and turns aside, the idea that there is a separate set of rules (and values) for each gender can go away now.
I'm on a Mac laptop and an Android phone and it's very meaningful to me. I think it's fairly well understood that "right-click" means "context menu". On the Mac I access the context menu by two-finger clicking or by holding ctrl when I click. On my Android mobile device I tap and hold.

I don't think that it is a "server-side solution to a front-end problem". I believe that the right-click/save-as pattern was a front-end solution to a server-side problem. The problem is developers not knowing how to properly set their content type and disposition headers.

I think you should optimize your code first. Are you sure the response time issues are a result of slow hardware?

Better hardware should always be one of the last things to consider. Maximize performance with what you have now and then consider alternatives if necessary.
This is true, the cold startup takes longer in Chrome than in FF. But if you're short on RAM (I usually hit 2-3GB usage without a browser running) and the OS starts swapping when you open tabs (I have ~30-40 open regularly), then the difference appears.
I do! Why?

* I just want to save the file, not view/open it.

* I can quickly determine where I want a file to be saved.

* I can rename the file instantly.

* Some files are huge, so I rather save than view.

* Bulk-Downloading many files at once.

Just because you don't need it in your daily work flow doesn't make it obsolete for everyone else.

I wrote a tutorial on solving the knapsack problem with genetic algorithms in javascript a while back:

There are better ways to solve this problem, of course, but the primary goal was to talk about GAs, not to solve the knapsack problem in the most efficient manner.
In this case, perhaps there are a couple of factors. First, for many Americans, it's very against their sense of fairness to apply unwritten rules, especially after the fact. I'm not sure about other places, but the U.S. has a long history of unwritten conventions being applied unevenly to the detriment of less powerful groups within society. The U.S. also has had to deal a fair amount with multiple cultures living near each other in a single society, and the convention has become that unless cultural expectations become codified in the laws by which we have all (by proxy) agreed to live by, it's very rude to try to force your cultural norms on someone's behavior without at least campaigning to get those norms codified in law so they are uniformly applied. To many Americans, there's the sneaking suspicion that standards are being unequally applied if someone is being to be asked to go beyond what the law requires if there isn't simultaneously a strong push to codify these unwritten expectations in law.

The second factor is perhaps the American cultural bias towards individualism, distrust of government, "go big or go home", and a tendency to view theory as only a means to an end (application). "Why theorize about what should be done if your aim is not to change the laws that govern all of us?" Most Americans don't view governments as worthy recipients (or good stewards) of voluntary donations, and view any non-mandatory taxes paid as donations.
It's spoon-feeding I'm describing. It's just targeted, one-to-one spoon feeding instead of spray-and-pray press releases.

It is way easier for a journalist to go to lunch, accept flattery for his sharp style and leadership in his field, and then walk home and copy-paste the text handed to him, than sift through the same pile of press releases that every other journalist in the industry is also sifting through.
Machine Learning Summit 2013 - MS Research
I think you hit the nail on the head in the way our society behaves and judges success. Even for men, goals are different. My definition of success may not necessarily be the same as yours. Yet in society, in the media, a successful person is someone who has made it career-wise. If I started a small business and manage it well that I can support a family, should that not be considered success as well?

The same can be said about happiness. Everyone talks about how we need to save people in less developed nations and bring in new technology to do things the "better" way. I believe that developing nations have far greater things to teach us developed nations about what life and happiness is about.

I recently completed my struggle with AngularJS/Django and the asset pipeline. I was using django-compressor but that was really not pleasant. What I did was completely decouple my AngularJS app from my Django app. I stopped using Django's collectstatic as well, and now use Grunt to compile my assets into a temporary "static" directory (not stored in version control), from an "assets" directory (stored in version control). I then use a fabric task to upload the contents of "static" to S3, to new directory with an incremented build number (something like s3://my-bucket/dist/v1234/). Once that is done, I update STATIC_URL in my Django app to reflect the new dist path.

My one tip: forget about using Django to manage your assets if you need cache-busting... use fabric and something like grunt.
Yes, ultimately we are bound by tradition, since changing over to any system is too expensive and confusing.

Interesting; in academia it's usually thought of as leave from normal day-to-day responsibilities (teaching, supervision, running a lab) in order to enable you to undertake a significant project requiring some time to think, such as writing a book. But in academia the term "sabbatical" usually refers to paid leave, while it sounds like in industry it often refers to unpaid leave. If that's the case, it would make sense that unpaid leave comes with fewer assumptions about what you're supposed to do in the meantime.
I had to do this for an interview... in clojure. https://github.com/chadhietala/smuggler
1. install rkhunter

2. update it:
#rkhunter --update

3. generate checksums of important files:
#rkhunter --propupd

*NOTE: when normal system s/w updates are installed, some of the files watched by rkhunter may change and thus generate false warnings. It also needs to be run again to update checksums after updates.
>But what we need is a standard cross-browser way to request this behavior (prompt for download vs show), that by default standards-compliant browsers will comply with (I'll allow for users over-riding this default behavior with configuration, if the browser wants to support that, sure).

It would be annoying too. If I want to open bunch of such links as background tabs then I would need to temporally change this setting and don't forget to return it.

From usability standpoint (ignoring security and performance considerations) it's better to show me content and save button simultaneously. Then why do it only when site author wants it? Saving images is common operation and it would be better to show save button for every non-dynamic content.

Why modern browsers don't have save button (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0f/Opera_3.62.pn... ) on toolbar by default and want users to use menus for such common operation? Because designers don't have a place to put it without reducing usability for most common scenarios of browser use. Also save button was not replacement for "Save as" in context menu.

Do we have solution for situation when application is complex enough that there is bunch of operations which are used rarely but must be easily accessible in one click and could be context-dependant?

Yes. Microsoft's Ribbon.
In what way? The constitution gives the Federal government the right to regulate inter-state commerce. If Congress passes a law says that states can tax inter-state purchases, isn't that simply exercising Congress's authority?
No, it just requires the PR person to send the press release to the journalist without posting it publicly.

Actually there are two TEMPs, one Local Settings and one Roaming Settings TEMP. But unlike most linuxes, Windows doesn't clean them, and some applications even fuck up when you delete their temp-stuff.
Aside from being an advertisement, this does make a reasonably decent point for some use cases... though I don't believe most of them are ones that are commonly solved with web-based CRUD.

However, letting people do these things offline on mobile devices introduces non-trivial problems of its own.

You've now turned your presumably-consistent, probably-IT-department-managed central database into, at best, a hub that's only eventually consistent. Someone's on vacation and made some updates on their phone? Sure, it looks like it was applied. Better hope they get back in cell range or on a network again for long enough to update -- and that they have a way to monitor it and ensure it was successful -- and at this point you're losing at least part of the convenience this was supposed to enable.

You've also now created the necessity for more robust conflict resolution. When you get two people editing the same data in a live web form, you can at least invalidate the second person's update if you're keeping last-updated timestamps. This approach falls on its face in an edit-offline-then-upload model because you now either have to automatically merge changes (yikes), re-create deleted records that were edited (and deal with dead references, yikes), or implement a prompt to get the user to resolve it themselves (unhappy user and yikes).

Of course, you also have to decide who should get how much and which of your data synced, make sure it's secure, and supply some mechanism so that a careless user can't drop his phone while not locked and allow someone remote access. Making sure the data is irretrievable without the phone being unlocked and the user signed in to the app is the least of your worries, but still something to worry about. Plus you have the potential for sensitive user data being distributed to places it shouldn't be, e.g. PCI compliance issues...

I'm sure there are other issues here, but this is not a replacement; with just these issues it's a totally different paradigm. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea, but it definitely will not drop in nicely and take all that awful CRUD out of our internets.
I do. I save files in the right place as soon as they are downloaded: that way you never have a messy Downloads folder or a crowded desktop.

People (regardless of sex) are different, no one can tell you how to live your own life, only you can.

For some people "good enough" will mean a rewarding and successful life, for others "good enough" will never be good "enough", even if it means being potentially unsatisfied in the end.

Success and happiness in life shouldn't be measured by absolute standards (which I feel is one of the points of the author).

Figuring out local sales tax is hideously difficult

The legislation specifically addresses this point by requiring states to use a simplified sales tax code. The article wasn't clear on the all the details but it made it sound like a single tax rate for the whole state so that merchants don't have to know the individual city/county tax rates.

>You get the feeling that the author has spent so long thinking of women as 'us' and men as 'them' that she actually sees the two as two completely separate species.

As is the case with most feminists of today. This is sexism by itself which they don't understand well and the main problem arises simply because they look at things in an extremely binary fashion - If 'something' is sexism or not or if it offends them or not. This is the reason why I am extremely scared (not exaggerating) to sit next to women in tech conferences these days - Simply because I fear I might end up offending them in one way or the other, by doing something I do regularly (like talking about a USB pendrive or a Mac mini) which might have sexual double meanings, which they would then create a huge drama about.
