POP for the "authoritative copy" downloaded to my desktop; IMAP for devices to see "what's new since I was last at my desk". POP is signficantly faster than IMAP for the former - no extraneous folder scans, no slow UUID syncs.

Debug website slowness with my © symbol easter egg
I like the concept and it is a good start. Pulling text from PDFs is especially painful. I think the output format needs improvement. It is just a large array of strings. It seems like the strings are sometimes a single line, and sometimes not. My particular use case is extracting raw data from a PDF. I would like to see more structure to the output. For example, knowing where new lines, tabs, etc are located would be very helpful for parsing raw data.

Here is the PDF I used to test: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm...

Is there a technical reason for the 1-2MB limit or is it arbitrary?

I would say it's okay to not want to conquer the world. But you should want to conquer your world. Finding something that you're passionate about is key to living a fulfilled life, at least in my opinion. You don't need to start some big company or whatever. But you should try to achieve more than "hack on stuff, go to bed at 3am and just loaf around".

You've recognized that being a workaholic sucks and usually leads nowhere. That's good - a lot of people waste their lives slaving over some terrible, meaningless job. But I don't think the correct response is to just take the easy way out and "be lazy", for lack of a better term. The correct response is find something that you want to spend hours every day on.

For me, personally, at age 80, I want to look back on my life and say, hey, I accomplished some pretty cool stuff and enjoyed doing it.

Interestingly Jim Davis stopped doing Garfield ages ago - he just had a team of people doing it on his behalf so he could keep making the money...

Obviously it diminished any legacy Garfield has had but he's still got to go and do what he wanted (Orson's Farm).

But it's not clear that Waterson's something else would ever be commercial or public - just that he was going to go and do something that wasn't Calvin and Hobbes.

Only he will know what his original intention was (or even if he had any sort of clear idea at the time) but he has no children and is presumably financially secure for life from Calvin and Hobbes so at the very least he'll have known that not "working" again was an option.
An approach I've taken in .NET is to write a class that implements IDisposable and wraps a byte buffer of a standardized size. Behind the scenes it used an array of stacks for recycling the byte arrays. Normal use case would be something like:

using (ByteBuffer buffer = pool.AllocateBuffer(128 * 1024))
{
// use buffer.array
}

The pool used weak references to the buffers so they could eventually be GC'd. Dead weak references were cleaned out when found during allocation. Typically the byte arrays needed were big enough to need to go into the large object heap, the cutoff for which was 80k IIRC. The LOH was not collected until gen2 collection.
A while back I started noting the times I came across a stack overflow link that I was interested in and then sad to see closed.

Here's the list:

This does not have the audio interview with him, that's in Stripped, a documentary about comics that's not out yet: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sequential/stripped-the-...

However, you can hear about 6 seconds of his interview in the trailer.
Funnily, η and μ are chosen precisely because they are mirror images of one another—their functionalities are in some sense mirror images of one another as well. η approaches a single-layer of T from the bottom and μ approaches it from the top!

(Edit: extra funnily, I actually flipped these two in my first writeup. This one is corrected, but I wanted to leave the note!)

The real trouble with parsing mathematics is that the syntax is overloaded at every opportunity. This is nice once you're in the same "mathematical mindset" as the author because it's a way for the author to focus your attention purely on the most important concepts being discussed (and everyone expects that there will be a laborious translation step once you start trying to prove things with more rigor). That said, until you are it's a bear and a half.

For instance, T is a functor which means it acts on both objects and maps in the source category. So if T : A -> B and x : Ob(A) then Tx is an object in Ob(B) and T was being used here as an object map. But, if y is also an object in Ob(A) (also written as y : Ob(A)) and there's an arrow in A called f : x -> y (which you might also write as f : A(x,y) --- serious TMTOWTDI) then Tf is an arrow in B like Tf : Tx -> Ty.

So to parse Tμ. If T is an endofunctor T : X -> X, then for any object A : Ob(X), "μ : TTA -> TA" is an arrow in X(A, TA), thus Tμ is an arrow in X(TTTA, TTA).

To parse μ.Tμ note that . is function composition, we just have Tμ as an arrow in X(TTTA, TTA). If we follow that with an application of μ then we have μ.Tμ as an arrow in X(TTTA, TA).

(Edit: also worth noting, for more feeling of parallelism between μ and η, if you, like I did, replace μ with η in the above you get Tη : X(TA, TTA) and η.Tη as (TA, TTTA).)

In more Haskelly notation, Tμ is (fmap join :: (Monad t, Functor t) => t (t (t a))) -> t (t a)) and μ.Tμ is (join . fmap join
:: (Monad t, Functor t) => t (t (t a)) -> t a) where I specialized all the types to be operating on the same endofunctor/monad.

Can I assume API keys are on the roadmap? I don't particularly like using my username and password.
Well, considering their general attitude towards IMAP (and other EAS rivals such as CalDAV and CardDAV), I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.

Just see this blog post for an idea:

http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-outlook/archive/2012/12/...

Edit: Can it really be true that there's no auto-discovery mechanism that works with IMAP and *DAV?
More likely than not, the whole setup there is SIXTY NINE years old and a drop of pitch weighs a bit.

In the interests of being polite, you are getting downvoted because you've made almost half the posts in a 15 comment thread, the bulk of which are complaints that your comments aren't better received.

The theme of the article is that research has revealed spatial reasoning plays a larger role in intelligence than we previously thought. Your post that you are sick and tired of people searching for the sole cause of intelligence is a hastily applied trope with little actual relevance.

Unfair or not, when people scroll down and see your posts in this thread many of them will feel compelled to downvote them as a way of telling you "please be more thoughtful with your comments". If you can't see why then maybe you are the one who needs to take a run in the park.

> While it sounds miserable to be without A/C, it can be argued that we are even more miserable now because we have it.

Speak for yourself. I think that those hundreds of people sleeping outside where it's just a few degrees cooler would probably have given just about anything for air conditioning. They weren't doing it because it was fun, they were sleeping outside because it was the best way they had to try to avoid dropping dead from heat stroke. That's why A/C is used[1], not to distance you from your neighbors.

> Something inside me greatly desires a life like that.

You can sleep outside on the ground in a big group any time you want. Most cities have hundreds of people who do that every day. I think any one of them would gladly trade it for an air conditioned room with a bed.

On Visual Hierarchy
How much would this speed up say a MySQL DB? Would it be enough to eliminate the need to do some caching? Would it allow joins to be fast enough to not need to denormalize so soon?

My point is, does this buy out of the need (up to a certain scale) to use engineering time to solve scaling problems?

NOTE: I realize that you still want to use good design and plan for the appropriate amount of scale, I am just curious how much dev time this could potential save in terms of rewriting code for scale.
According to wikipedia, 7.9 people per 100,000, so ~21k people, get Lyme Disease every year. Imagine if suddenly ~16k fewer people got the disease, do you think those people would find the vaccine terrible?
Ask HN: How would you define a full stack developer?
You see it in job posts everywhere: "looking for a full-stack developer, engineer, programmer". What exactly does that mean? And yes, since I'm asking the question, I must not be one. Seriously though, how would you define it?
That is your example of a good question on StackOverflow that was closed?

That question exemplifies why SO needs moderators. The question is "I want this GIVE IT TO ME. I refuse to do any research on the subject."

It should have been closed in 2009, but SO hadn't been inundated with horrible questions like that yet. The current moderation, while having gone a little too far I agree, came into being because of questions like that.

You're conflating 'Is this useful?' with 'Does this belong here?' I suppose someone else doing your work is always useful to you, but it doesn't belong on SO.

There are questions that get closed where people have done their work and have asked in a good way. Current SO moderation has gone too far in cases. However, this is not one of those cases.
A lot of startups don't use offshore workers because it's a logistical nightmare. My company (not a startup) has our QA office based out of Bangalore. As an engineer who delivers things to be verified by said team this is a real pain in the ass. Sunday through thursday my evenings are basically fucked. Every night at 9pm from Sunday to Thursday we have a synch-up call so I never get the chance to make any plans during the week.

Over the years this gets really bothersome. It's usually the number one reason why people I've known at my job have found employment elsewhere. Every time I think about changing jobs, I think about the reasons why I would like to, and this is almost always the number one reason.
Not that much of a handwave, if you allow for energy storage as light and compact as antimatter. Engineering such a craft the size of a fighter might be quite difficult, though.

I think there is a major need for this, especially for dare I say "new" features in this space.

- Daily Morning Lists of your meetings/attendies and attachments all rolled up

- SMS alerts for room/reminders 5 minutes before

I would recommend a few other insightful things - e.g.

- adding a photo of the room
- labeling how many seats/chairs are avaliable
- Integrating a raspberry pi or some other open source hack (ipad/andriod app?) to show what is happening in the room each day (scheduler)

I wish you the best of luck with this and think it's needed not just in coworking spaces, but every startup that has more than 3 conference rooms.

good luck!

I sort of take issue with "experiment succeeds". You don't (shouldn't) set up an experiment to prove or disprove something, merely to discover.

I'm sure the issue, if indeed there is one, is with the reporting not the scientists though.

Funny that you mention these two, as Bill Watterson cited both Pogo and Krazy Kat as major influences on Calvin and Hobbes in the Tenth Anniversary Book.

> If they wear suits... you probably do not want to work there so I would recommend wearing a tuxedo or nothing at all.

Don't know if that is just a joke, but one of the best places I ever worked people all wore suits, the systems were internal for a few high wealth people revolving around aviation.

Not pretentious, just looking as smart as you can. Same sort of logic as dressing up to go to the opera, I love to see gf in an evening dress, she likes me in black tie. I definitely look more dashing!

I should be wearing a suit now, but instead have my arm in a sling, so am in an injury friendly easy to dress casual t-shirt. No one objects (well aside my productivity drop due to one arm out of action).
iOS Apps are as Intrusive as Android Apps: Research
The blaming the papers wasn't a 1995 thing. By that point he'd already taken one sabbatical because of the pressure he felt and had managed to get the papers to accept some small changes to the format of the Sunday strips because he wasn't happy with the work he was able to do. Regardless of his intentions for the future and what he thought he may or may not be able to do, his dissatisfaction with the medium and the newspapers was very real.

If you read what he's said about the situation and his unhappiness with it my guess would be that when he quit he really just wanted out and he he probably didn't know what he was going to do next. Realising that he felt he'd done all he wanted to do with the format probably came later when he had some distance.
I think the problem with IMAP, for a lot of users, is that many clients don't keep a complete local copy of your e-mail store by default, and they don't realise that it can do that.

As a "lefty" and someone with enough karma to downvote comments. I will only downvote for three reasons:

1. Comments beginning with "I will probably be modded to oblivion for this, but ... " Where " ... " Is usually some schizo, racist shit.
2. Show HN-comments like "Why did you spend hundreds of hours building this useless hack when you could have contributed something useful to humanity instead?"
3. Terrible "in soviet russia" jokes and other slashdot-originated garbage.

As of yet, I've never downvoted someone for any other reason, but I'm tempted to start downvoting all those "hn mods are in a big communist conspiracy and are censoring the truth!" comments because proving paranoid people right seems like fun.

>>I could work in NYC but enjoy all the comfort of New England.

The station cost will probably be high; it will be hard to have "side tracks". (No fan-out, you could say.)

So if there is a station in e.g. NY/LA, the housing costs for the other end station(s) ought to rapidly close with the big-city end station. It is just a way of opening a larger area for commuting.

So, there won't be that much comforts of New England.

My point was that with a HL the areas with high people pressure could continue to grow (I selected Silicon Valley because HN is a California-centric place, for good and bad. I'm in Europe.)

In all seriousness though I'm going through your post to see if you've found a gaping problem =). I don't think there can be different density velocity ratios at any point of displacement in the wave's reference frame because the same net number of particles has to pass through each point or you start making a permanent buildup on one side or the other of that point, which you can't do because in the reference frame of the still air that point is moving at the speed of sound.

A moving point passes by the same number of unique particles at the speed of sound as it would if it were going the speed of turtle (if you ignore thermal dispersion).

Calvin & Hobbes and Pogo are two of my favorites also. But for sheer volume of jokes and puns packed into each strip, it's hard to top Get Fuzzy. Its basic premise is similar to Garfield (man living with cat and dog, both of whom can talk), but it's written by a cartoonist who hasn't been coming up with the same jokes for 30 years straight.
