I think we've seen lot of instances of major vendors changing something, and everyone complaining, and then the new design becomes the new normal. Practically every Facebook redesign got pissed on.

Apple famously got ripped for Final Cut Pro X, for many of the same reasons people are ripping the new Maps (bunch of power user features removed)

I personally prefer the map to show the results. They are spotlighted and easy to see. The result box on the side used to annoy me because I'd have to keep moving the mouse and/or eyes from the list to the map and back. The new Maps consistently pops up the Infobox in the same place too.

You can't please everyone, but on mobile and touch devices, having a multi-pane interaction model is lame anyway. So really, the desktop is simply converging with the tablet.
I suspect you're not going to get an answer to that one.
On the first day of my first CS class in college, the gruff old professor passed around a stack of photocopied "VI TUTORIAL" papers. In the "MOVEMENT" section, it had pictures of arrow keys, then X's hand-drawn over top of each arrow key, and H J K L handwritten above their corresponding X'd out arrow keys.

Gruff old professor explained that using H J K L was the True and Proper Way and the arrow keys were a work of the Devil, so to make sure we were not tempted by the Dark Lord of cursor motion, he had the department's system administrator recompile vi on the department's (pathetically overworked) Sun to remove support for the arrow keys.

(As an aside, if you've never tried working interactively on a Unix box whose load is higher than its CPU speed in MHz, you've really missed out.)

Rather than get used to using H J K L, I spent that evening waiting for a new vi executable to build in my home directory.

Laziness will find a way.
Every time I upgraded to a new iOS 7 beta, it wiped my Google Authenticator account tokens. It wasn't a big deal with Google or Dropbox because both allow me to move. But I can't log in to my CampBX account anymore. I tried Authy today after another comment here on HN and it's been working so far.

Duo seems to be quite nice, I doubt I'll end up using the backup codes.

Incidentally, GitHub has it right - "download a text file of your backup codes" is much easier than "print this page nad hope you don't lose it"; I find find(1) outpaces my frantic drawer-emptying.
> Both require your mobile number and for a remote service to store all of your tokens though..

Duo does not, for the record. Download and go.
Have you considered that in the future, you may regret having written this? Anything you post on the internet that is tied to your real identity (such as this) can work against you later in life, especially when it comes to employment. Keep in mind that the first thing most employers will do is put your name into a search engine.

If I were you, I'd let HN comments run their course for feedback, and then delete or protect your Google Docs link once things slow down.

Also, too much enthusiasm can be a bad thing, especially if it crosses the line into hypomania or mania. The insidious part is that people who are in such states usually don't know it and cannot recognize that they are. I don't know if this is relevant; just something to be aware of.

Sorry to sound like such a downer. Fortunately there's a lot of other advice here that's a bit more upbeat. Good luck.
1) I take it you're choosing: no university -- that's a big decision. If you're good, having no degree is a non-issue (it wasn't for me), but there IS huge value in the academic/social environment of a good university.

2) Make a splash, meet people, cycle ideas NOW. Anyone expressing a sentiment of reservation towards you is being... resentful? It's clear you're willing to take risks and accept failures. Writing what you did was a positive experience for you, even as people criticize it.

3) Very few people understand that we all have what we want. Good job.
I'm just gonna point out that the previous update was somewhere around 2 years ago, and it's just now getting retina, so we should be glad there's even this much.
Still doesn't follow from the definition...
Many "low-cost" (80-150$) 1 or 2-bay NAS (seagate, netgear, dlink, zyxel etc..) can be "hacked" and the OS can be substituted with Linux.
The difference is that they don't have a video output, and I think the CPUs should be more limited (many have Marvell Kirkwood 800mhz-1.5ghz), but they are designed for NAS usage so multiple SATA ports, eventually gigabit ethernet etc..

Having said that, probably the best home NAS could be built out of an HP Microserver N54L: 250$ for an Amd Turion "small" server that supports up to 8GB of RAM (16GB sometimes), it has 4 (non-hot-swappable) disk slots (but there are guys who have installed more using 2.5 disks and the dvdrom slot).

there are plenty of forums and sites showing how to do it, the only downside is that it is bigger (but 4 slots) and it consumes more power

EDIT: I'm still deciding which way to go in order to substitute my old Seagate Dockstar running Debian (and with a single old 2.5 disk attached to one of the USB ports)
Yes, you don't take Cypionate the first time.

These testosterone salts have different half-lives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypionate

Oh yeah, and you don't get from the first picture to the last picture in 16 weeks, not gonna happen.
Other routes are there:

When you have searched for a destination, click on the bottom right where it shows the commute type (car, bus, bicycle, walking) and estimated time. From there you'll find a list of three suggested routes (at least I do). When clicking on any of the the suggested routes, it'll show all of them in the map and you can also choose a route by clicking on it in the map.

Additionally, I get back from navigation to route view just by pressing the back button. Works just like it should?

Right. So what happens when the arrow is broken at the "higher buildings" point?
Every single legacy application I've ever worked on has had analogous code buried in it somewhere.

An application I've just been "repairing" recently has a spot where it uses two separate queries to pull two full table sized lists of values, then manually joins them with a loop, and then manually re-orders the joined values into groups selectively ignoring some rows, and then embeds the the whole reordered list in a web page. The page takes around 20 seconds to load. Switching it to use a single properly formatted SQL reduced load times to under a second.

Another legacy app I'm employed to "repair" has one single 'template' for every page on the whole site. Its first ~500 lines conveniently consist of a giant and highly nested if/else clause to set the page variables and inline javascript.

Such things are the result of "IT experts," "Software Managers," and "Product Administrators" who've never done real software/web development in their lives hiring random "programmers" who have history or psychology degrees and think they can program because they made a form in PHP.

It only gets lovelier when eventually somebody realizes it's a huge security risk and hires an outside development firm to "secure" it. (Giant eye roll. If they couldn't vet a programmer, you can bet they're great at vetting security consultants and contract developer shops.) Did you know that randomly moving code into folders named "private" and "public" for a few thousand dollars can solve giant architectural and security issues like ridiculously easy XSS and SQL injection?

I don't know what the deal is, but a huge proportion of people writing code are plain incompetent.

At my last company we fired someone who created huge amounts of work for everyone (he thought he could secure page content and alert messages by using base 64 encoding as a stand in for hashing and encryption, for example) and a few months later he was hired as lead developer by a pretty reputable educational business.

... sigh
"During deliberations, the American Medical Association (AMA), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) all opposed listing anabolic steroids as controlled substances, citing the fact that use of these hormones does not lead to the physical or psychological dependence required for such scheduling under the Controlled Substance Act. Nevertheless, anabolic steroids were added to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act in the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990."

I seem to have recalled that one wrong then, or they've changed their service since I last saw it.
This. The term "wiki" really just means quickly/easily editable (hyper)text. It's a shame it's sort of grown to mean "text that will magically maintain itself". Just like "just open source it" isn't a solution to library maintenance (but can be a prerequisite for community contribution) - "put up a wiki" doesn't mean the thing will curate itself.

I'm reminded of a quote by Cunningham where he says that his most frequent actions on wikis are to delete and consolidate content.

Maintaining a wiki takes work. Having an editor, along with a process for going over material regularly (say once a month) helps a lot. That and/or have "owners" for pages and sections (eg: the developer responsible for the gizmorenderer gets reminders to review the example code and documentation for the renderer, while the devops lead gets reminders to review the install/setup instructions etc). If a section hasn't been marked "good" for the past two-three months - have the system delete it.

Encourage people to review old documentation/pages when writing new -- maybe update a few old examples and add new ones, rather than just add a single new example that covers the new API etc.

Tooling and automatic reminders can help, but at the core what is needed is a (business) process for maintaining the thing -- it can be completely manual -- but it needs to be there.
Use Asgard from NetflixOSS (https://github.com/Netflix/asgard). Shameless project plug: for anyone using Hubot, easily get Asgard up and running, then interface with Asgard via Hubot (https://github.com/imperialwicket/hubot-asgard).

* EDIT: that is, use Asgard because it does a great job of managing autoscaling groups.
You certainly do for Authy, I was apparently wrong about Duo.

When I add sites to Authenticator, I take a screenshot of the QR code and tuck it away in an encrypted document (OneNote for the record, which uses uses AES to encrypt).
Obviously veiled reference to Desire2Learn (D2L).
that would be cool. theres some really amazing folks doing tech in nyc yet manage to evade normal press. (and I think they prefer it that way :) )
Yes. Always hit the modifiers with the opposite hand. This is taught in every keyboarding class, and applies to all modifiers, even Shift. This will make you a faster typist, and your hands will feel much better. Some newfangled keyboards don't include two sets of every modifier, so don't buy those. :)
Can somebody explain if this would be any different to the internet offered by Virgin America?
Sorry for the confusion. It's both.

I think the equivalent of 5% of your salary is put to buying ESOP stock from a pool (I'm not entirely clear how the pool works exactly)

Then separately an amount equivalent to about 20% of your salary is put by the company into a 401k which is vested after working there for two years. There is NO matching or anything. You don't put any of your money into the 401k.

The exact 401k percentage is based on that year's profits, so it allows the company some flexibility financially speaking. If we have a bad year then you get less in your 401k, but your base salary stays the same. If it gets really really bad then people's salaries get cut (that's happened only twice in the company's ~30 history)

Bonuses, dividends and ISOP [incentive stock options plan] shares (these are actual voting shares) are also handed out partly based on yearly profits.

The whole company operates on different contracts and the market is pretty volatile (I rather not say which one, but maybe you can guess), so the system allows a measure of stability for everyone involved.

I'm not sure what the benefit of making bad decisions would be.. maybe you can elaborate on that?

Career people that have been with us for 20+ years have huge amounts of capital tied up in ISOP and ESOP shares (as well as massive 401k's) and they effectively run the company. They often retire kinda early because they are making more from dividends than from their salaries. While I really love the system and I think it's significantly better than the other currently used systems in the tech industry (which are frankly outdated), the way old careerists run the show is rather anachronistic and I think hurts the company in a lot of ways. New hires don't feel as vested in the company and the most dynamic/in-demand people at the company are probably not the people that end up staying for 20 years. I mean in SV working for more than 4 years at one company is considered the signs of a bad programmer! However, on the other hand the old-timers are the people with the most experience and that really shows at certain times.... At the end of the day I get paid well and the organization is super flat (in a ~100 employees org I'm two levels down from the CEO)
I don't think it's very fair to characterise her appearance that way.

That is, assuming you're speaking of the smiling person in the upper left corner of the article body, which is a photo of the current Chairwoman and CEO of IBM, Virginia M. Rometty.
It is impossible to overmistrust the State. If you could imagine the lows they will go to, you'd be working for them by now.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practise.

In practise, there is.
I don't know the conditions of why you left but assuming it's relevant to the letter then you failed to focus on things that matter like school, family, etc. This is a life lesson that cannot be learned with words alone, family and friends are much more important than money or success, it takes many a lifetime to learn this.
It seems unlikely that the flaw was intentional - there are much better ways of leaking audio that are much more difficult to detect. But it's interesting that the design and the cheap components or whatever have all conspired to leak the audio in FM.

If nothing else, it's a great lesson in how security is just a very difficult subject, and 'secure' an almost nirvana-like state in terms of the impossibility of achievement.
Well, as a not completely satisfied owner of:

eSata Sheevaplug: currently NAS, no video, soft floating point.

Raspberry Pi B/512: was a music server but the built-in audio is extremely crappy, unbalanced GPU/CPU power (damn you, DTS tracks), now sitting in a corner.

Cubieboard: (current music server, stable, faster than RPi but no video hardware acceleration in linux).

I just bought this in without much thinking. I hope now I can run XMBC and have hardware acceleration for video directly in Linux.

As some other said, Freescale is much more open than the ones I listed above.
I love how she gives away the name of the actual software (desire2learn) in the tag. :-)

Yeah, I should have been more clear that I was only making that assertion about methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta).

I don't have significant experience with other cognitive enhancers, although I have tried many of the over-the-counter supposedly nootropic substances (none of which provided anything near the same level of cognitive improvement in my experience).

I'm extremely interested in Modafanil and whatever else we come up with in this area, though; unlike the OP's over-the-top and poorly-thought-through quest for big muscles (and a salable story), enhancing human cognition is a tremendously useful, worthwhile thing to do.

(Edit: I do actually think big strong muscles are actually pretty useful and worthwhile too; they're just not worth much risk in pursuing (since almost anybody can get fairly strong without injecting weird shit), and certainly not as much risk as this guy took.)
Isn't Raspberry PI's gpu acceleration supported on XBMC (with the right driver and/or dedicated distro?)
Loving the app, get that logo in there fast!
Duo does not require this at all. And Authy only requires you to store their "Authy" token. You can add additional, e.g. Github, tokens to Authy and choose not to sync them with the Authy servers. That's what I do.
This was a perfectly functional app except that it didn't look like google+. I would recommend switching to authy (YC) bc their Bluetooth 4.0 LE implementation is awesome: https://www.authy.com/thefuture#pairing
Authy (YC W12, [1]) is a nice replacement for the GA app. Besides being more stable, it has also the "benefit" of allowing you to back up your keys, and recover in the case of a lost phone or deleted app.

Thankfully, backing up is entirely optional, and turned off by default. While they claim backups are encrypted with PBKDF2 [3], I still would never ever use something that sends my tokens to a remote server, as it'd defeat the purpose of 2FA in the first place.

Still, I can see the use for casual users that care enough to have 2FA, but not that much to worry about tokens being stolen and decrypted from Authy..

This is why you keep backups of your TOTP authenticator keys. I was really put off by 2 factor until I figured a way to do a backup. Authenticator URLS look like this:

otpauth://totp/KeyNameHere?secret=SECRECTKEYSTRINGHERE

You can save it in some passworded zip archive somewhere or print it out. If you print them I suggest printing them with QR codes to aid in recovery speed. You can easily generate QR codes by putting the text URLs into a QR code generator. If you just have a QR code, use a general QR code scanning app to extract the string.

Also the new google authenticator version has a %100 repo crash bug when you scan two QR codes in a row on iOS 7 phones.
Well, unless the bodybuilding competition has been branded "natural" (and even then, sometimes) everybody took steroids.
To avoid this issue, make sure you've logged into all your 2factor accounts, and have the new Authenticator QR code ready -before- updating.

eg. For Google accounts: 'Move to a Different Phone' at https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthSettings
In my experience, when people say "x is caused in large part by y", they then provide some form of evidence to back this statement up.

Instead, you haven't.
In fact, when presented with contrary data as has happened in other parts of this thread, you have told people:

1. They are interpreting it wrong

2. Despite the fact that it contradicts your point, it in fact supports your point.

Given that, i'd suggest either

1. You become an economist

2. You realize you need to explain yourself better if you want to actually convince people your opinion is right.

So far, you have convinced no one that I can see, nor actually responded substantively to any point raised against your argument.
I would not work out if not for the health benefits.

That said, after I got a bit of muscle some chores became much easier. Carrying luggage or groceries, or squatting to pick up or manipulate something down low. I just had a baby, I suppose it will be much longer before he grows heavier than my capacity for carrying him.

The aesthetic and self-esteem boost are also something to consider, though my muscles are barely noticeable by now.

Good tip. I just wish I had known this before I updated...
Brand recognition is the one thing that might actually have been valuable. But then, it didn't save Blackberry. Which chose the option that you seem to suggest for Nokia -- of leveraging its existing installed base into a gradual transition. (Incidentally, RIM only sold smartphones, and had a peak market cap of $120 billion in 2007. Today, it's worth less than 1/3 of Nokia.)

Telco relationships and distribution channels are necessary but not sufficient. All the other phone makers had telco relationships and distribution channels, too. Didn't help them compete against the iPhone.

What got them some traction was that they threw out their old smartphones and started over -- 2 years before Nokia finally got around to doing it. That 2 years made all the difference.

There is an argument for Nokia ditching Symbian and keeping it secret. This assumes it could've been kept secret. A change of that magnitude was bound to leak out -- for example, a Symbian engineer quitting the company in disgust and telling the newspapers.

Disruptive innovation is called disruptive because it turns your assets into liabilities. For example, your factories and distribution network used to be valuable because they gave you scale that nobody else had. But now, they just cause you to have higher fixed costs than your competitors. The classic example being US Steel when the minimill disrupted the steel business.
Lifting weights is part of my daily life. I feel silly that I'm even bothering to justify myself to an internet stranger. It's like when I had to justify playing roleplaying games or using the internet back in the mid-1990s.

However:

> It's like getting fat on purpose.

The downstream health effects of developing muscle tissue (and increased bone density) are largely positive; of fat, largely negative.

Weight training improves insulin sensitivity, improves various cardiovascular markers, strengthens the heart and improves bone density. People who train with weights live longer, with fewer health problems, with shorter senescence, than people who don't.

These health effects are distinct from the health effects of non-resistance training such as running, cycling or swimming.
