Another advantage to Shapeways (and similar services) is that they offer significantly better printing technologies than the affordable hobby printers. SLS Nylon produces very nice parts, with relatively tight tolerances, and useful strength and stiffness properties, but last time I checked, the cheapest SLS machine was on the order of $50k US.
I think one interesting model missing is the cross publisher subscription model. Think Netflix for Journalism. I send in 10 dollars a month for access to a bunch of different Journalism sites. The publishers get paid a bulk rate for access for the subscriber base. If you're not a member, you get more adds of hit the paywall on those sites.

The problem is that it's a very difficult business to start and run and has less money in it than the Movie and TV industry.
Absolutely agreed. Having to manage the logistics of groceries while eating healthy can be quite a chore!
That sounds like a good setup. Just dont waste time thinking and get to coding.
I think dig jobs should be considered Intellectual Property and be protected for some short ~day-week time period.
I am missing "I don't have one, but I have access to one".

I personally find the current generation of 3D printers still a bit clunky and expensive to have in my own house, but I found it fairly easy to find a place to play with one. The London Hackerspace, for example, has been a good place, but also the various reprap/3dprint communities are very active over here.
popups triggered directly by a click are allowed, because otherwise you'd break e.g. Facebook login, to pick a major example. Basically every browser does this. Quite a few are probably undesirable still, but otherwise people simply claim the browser is broken for their normal site X and abandon it entirely for a browser that doesn't break site X.
I don't know about everyone else, but I wish I could read less news of higher quality. I would subscribe to a news service that only gave me a handful of news articles at the end of the week—well researched and written by people who know what they are talking about.
Melon and sausage is something I've never heard of, but melon and prosciutto is actually a very common Italian dish (that's also quite tasty!) [1]

I imagine if you got the right type of savory sausage, it'd be delicious.

Did you watch the video? That's exactly what it does.
Another option is to make the content more compelling. Let's face it - even the NYTimes (which I pay for) has a lot of really poorly written articles, especially in the Tech and Business arenas. It takes a lot of my time to sort through the mess of factually incorrect stuff in order to get good information. In fact, a lot of the reason I pay for the Times is for the commentary - Krugman, Friedman, etc. I would pay more for better journalism.

I am hourly, and I often find myself shaving my hours if I am unhappy with my output, and other times I can't help myself and I end up working for sixty hours and not put down the overtime. I don't think that this is unusual, it's how you keep a job in a down economy.
This is obviously (at least it should be obvious) a business matter between the casino and the game vendor, not the user. The way this should have played out is 1) the casino notices the pattern, 2) the casino pulls the machine and scolds the vendor for shipping a bug that hurt their business, and 3) the vendor loses future contracts or resolves the issue in a way that satisfies the casino.

This is fantastic. Thank you for explicitly listing keto, and for allowing to customize the exact amount of macronutrients.

That being said: The custom macronutrient range sliders are a bit unintuitive. I think both range sliders and percentages should be displayed at the same time, and both should be kept in sync.

How can I see exactly which ingredients will go into my meals? I've disabled all fruit, but I still got a meal with melons in it.

Also, I'd like to replace non-fat yoghurt with full-fat yoghurt in my meals. How can I do this?
Hi seferphier :) Are you based in Hong Kong too?
Ohh, thanks for the tip, I hadn’t noticed the ‘Add dish’ button. From there, you can search for milk in the ‘Basic foods’ section. Makes sense that I should manually add it, instead of having my drinks planned out.

But what happens if I end up drinking or eating more than was planned? Can I go back and edit the menu the day after? Also, does the site track calorie intake and progress over time?

I’ve used Livestrong’s MyPlate calorie tracker for quite some time, in which I would record my caloric intake every day. Of course, that’s after the fact, so it’s a different approach to minding calories than what your site does.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "nothing?" Why do they call it video poker?

The point is that insofar as the game replicates poker one can basically use that as a way to identify the difference between a "bug" and a "odd game rule."
>Linux will soon have btrfs, which is as good as (if not better than) ZFS.

btrfs does not even try to solve the problem I want zfs for; snapshots over the network.

You see, when you deal with a large amount of storage (especially if you deal with that storage as block devices that run arbitrary filesystems, and not just files on a filesystem) the bottleneck for backups becomes disk bandwidth, not network bandwidth, so things like rsync don't help much.

ZFS snapshots over the network? those help rather a lot. Unlike rsync and stuff, it saves me disk bandwidth, not just network bandwidth. Unlike inotify-based systems, I don't need to have knowledge of the filesystems I'm replicating.

(I know I harp on this a lot... I just want to point out that btrfs, no matter how good it is for the problems it attempts to solve, isn't even trying to solve the problem I need ZFS for.)

Yup, I do this. And have done it to manage reporting projects because it helps the researchers realize that there are facets of information that we need to collect for every row. And then creating a visualization or analysis takes little more work than writing a script to loop over every row.

Also log-structured merge trees:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_merge-tree

There're a bunch of fascinating performance tradeoffs between B+ trees and LSM trees, which come out when you're choosing between something like MySQL InnoDB or PostGres (B+ tree) vs. LevelDB or Apache Cassandra (LSM trees). LSM trees tend to be faster for inserts and for write-heavy applications, and they offer very fast reads and writes for frequently-accessed data. They also depend upon the bandwidth of the disk rather than the seek time, and bandwidth has of late been increasing significantly faster than seek times. OTOH, they offer very variable latency, as an insert might trigger a major compaction, while B+ trees have a bounded latency limit. A lot of the distributed systems work at Google (a big user of LSM trees via BigTable) comes from the need to work around the poor 99th percentile latencies of LSM trees.
I agree that it depersonalizes something that's suposed to signal time and effort on the part of the writer but I've used the Apple Cards app that lets you make your own photos into a card and its been a big hit.

But microwaves solve a problem people have several times a day (low-labor way to get some hot food or drink). I'm having trouble envisioning a world in which an average person needs or wants a new 3d-printed object on a daily basis, even if it were completely free.
Show HN: Easy parser combinators for python 3
I loved everything about this app.

That could work, you could also attach discovery services to it, something like the front page you see here on hacker news.

It likely won't be enough to end problems for publishers but could at least open up a revenue stream that doesn't exist.
I think the focus is on pedantic corrections that are entirely irrelevant to the discussion and serve only to make the commenter feel superior. For example, see this recent thread [1].

The first commenter proposes a device that would use a Molex connector. The second points out that the device needs to interface with a wire not found on the Molex 8981 connector, a useful correction. The third makes the inane observation that Molex the company makes many connectors, when it is obvious that the first two commenters were referring to the Molex 8981 connector specifically.

You can leak memory by leaking goroutines.
If a goroutine is waiting on a channel that nobody else has access to, it lives forever, as does the memory it references.

So, you can pretty easily leak memory without messing with unsafe things.
If you're coming from 3.1 or 3.2, I say go for it. I have brought a couple applications from 3.2 -> 4.0rc and both had specs fully passing within 30 minutes of the switch. git checkout -b rails4, it won't hurt to try.
I wonder why the creators of such an installer even bothered changing the name? Virus/malware authors shouldn't care about the possibility of trademark violations; They usually take care to ensure the software can't be traced back to their identities regardless.

I definitely see the potential in 3D printers, but I just don't have enough of a need for such a machine at the time being. Well, at least not a need not big enough to justify the price.

I have no experience with 3D modeling or home manufacturing, so the learning curve is another reason I'm holding off for now.

It may not be a right, but it can help protect that freedom of speech and I think that is a pretty worthwhile goal. Also, I agree most anonymous writings don't amount to much of anything, but it doesn't mean they don't have their uses.
Yikes. Is the hostility needed?
"Not all Americans eat McDonald's burgers and fries and other crappy processed food for every meal. We are just like anyone else. "

I'm sorry, but the food here in the US is ABSURD. Aside from burgers and fries, there are few places that one can get an _affordable_ healthy meal. Two things jump out at me here: the portions and sodium.

In order to remain somewhat healthy, you have to cook or actively go out of your way and purchase food that turns out to cost more. "It's a mixture." does not accurately describe the US - I do believe it's off-balance here; more folks do consume such food.

I'm originally from Hong Kong, which gives me a slightly different perpective than most, but everything that I eat out in the east: tastes amazing, can be extremely affordable, doesn't make me feel bloated or 'full' when I'm done and is absolutely incredible.
I'd say the major issue is that the iPad doesn't "quite" do stylus work well - if you watch the video, the woman doesn't rest her palms on the device when using the stylus. If that actually is supported, I'd be thrilled.

In the end that's what journalism is for - telling us when and where democracy and our rule of law is failing. Doing so clearly, authoritatively and with impact.

Wikileaks is in that definition journalism - as was watergate. We will all be much much poorer if we cannot ensure the survival of that journalism.

I think the secret lies in the fact I cannot tell between a blog post about a conspiracy nut in a parking garage and a blog post about the deputy director of the FBI in a parking garage.

Ben Bradlee could. We need editors if we are going to keep journalism.
I have a small printer on the cheap end of the spectrum. I started off printing things from Thingiverse because I was having a hell of a time trying to create STLs from the 3D modeling software I already knew (Lightwave and Maya). It worked but my toolchain was a huge pain and the resulting geometry was not always sound for slicing to gcode.

In recent months I started using openSCAD and now almost exclusively print things I generate with it. I still check Thingiverse to see if people have already created things I'm attempting to make, which I see as the real power of this whole experiment.
I'd say 96% is being a tad conservative.

The issue I keep running into when testing the RCs with larger apps is the number of gems that have strict dependencies on older versions of activesupport, etc.

I am wading through my Gemfile (over 200 gems counting direct and indirect dependencies) at the moment trying to give the RC a shot, but it's going to be difficult to justify spending much more time on it, unfortunately.
> I agree. But I have seen many programmers claim they will be more productive in language/framework X because its new.

I've never seen that. I've seen many programmers claim that they will be more productive in new language/framework X because it includes a combination of features A, B, and C that aren't found together in other languages/framewors, but never simply because the language/framework is new.

The closest I've seen to the "because its new" thing is "because it doesn't have the accumulated cruft of framework Z", but while that may be related to newness, its still about features, rather than newness alone.
Maybe a similar to psychology to arms dealers.

"If I don't do it, someone else will fill the shoes. I might as well make the money myself then" might be one such psychology.

It's just a chat app. We all know that programming it is feasible because it has been done hundreds of times before. That part isn't interesting.

What's interesting is the interface, which is why we're discussing it. The fact that you can't run an application doesn't make the concept any more or less interesting to discuss and critique. The issues being discussed aren't solved with code.
In theory, the rule of law will protect your right to say what needs to be said.

In practice, you may have things to say that could be damaging to your career, or that may anger powerful interests, or even your government. That doesn't mean these things aren't worth saying. So anonymity allows you to say them without being prosecuted.

(Unless of course you're making a distinction between anonymity and pseudonymity. Pseudonymity is a special case of anonymity, and requires anonymity as a base condition.)
I have a Solidoodle 2. I made a video demonstrating it here: http://youtu.be/Aafp7EnzmOY

If someone's on the market, they need to apply to multiple positions to make sure they find something in a reasonable time. You should assume anyone interviewing with you is also interviewing elsewhere. Some of those other companies may make offers, and since they interviewed around the same time as you, they're going to come around the same time as yours. "Flaking out at the very last minute" indicates normal job search activity, not a flaky applicant or poaching competitor.
Our family has been in SV since the 70's, and having grown up here and having heard stories and met people who lived through the decades here, I've sadly come to think that we were doing a better service to the world at large in the 80's than we are today.
I answered "I'll probably never buy one", but I have every intention of using one. I imagine I will interact with them the same way I do with regular printers- don't own one, but go somewhere like OfficeMax when I need to get something printed.
