I am assuming they are teaching the kids to make "I" statements.... don't make excuses, don't argue, don't blame other people, don't yell back. It's a skill I was lucky to learn later in life. (marriage counseling).

Another thing they are likely to learn... disconnect yourself from the outcome. Yeh your mom may not react the way you want. But at least you have been honest about your feelings and not disrespected the other person. You can only control what you do... not how others react.
Yes, I have, and starting from the Lisp Machine Flavors precursor. While I haven't used it in anger, it's in theory by far my most favorite OO system.

This is in part philosophical, the "prefer 10 data types and 90 functions that operate on them, often all of them" sort of thing, in part my horror at smearing behavior and data all over the place, and pragmatically, how that's much more of an imperative than functional approach. And functional is where its at for what I want to do. And experience in using OOSE to develop a greenfields system. That was utterly cool and amazing, but ... see my last sentence below.

Which is not to say that the next time I do a GUI I'm not going to use OO to model the widgets et. al. on the screen. I believe it has its place, but that it's used much more widely than makes sense.

Well, you do understand that "status quo" means "how things are".

So this is like you saying that he only "acts like he is right" because this "reality" thing agrees with him.

I think the extent to which the Chromebook Pixel is currently compelling as something to run a regular linux distro on is the extent to which the Chromebook Pixel is currently unmatched among other laptops (greater DPI and cheaper than the 13" Pro Retina. Worse otherwise, but if your priority is the screen...).

Hopefully you won't have to wait for the next Chromebook Pixel, but will be able to buy a more 'regular' laptop with a similar screen in the near future. I think high-dpi screens are posed to make a big impact on the market.

@drivebyacct2 "(For those that may wonder, I have to rmmod/modprobe a chromeos_laptop module after boot"

I had that problem earlier, but it resolved itself with a new kernel (3.10.11 iirc) and config. If you want I can pastebin my config when I get home, but I think the only relevant change I made is I stopped building chromeos_laptop (and dependencies) as a module. I think the root cause was something about the order or timing of the touchpad and I2C stuff being brought online.
"Work" is pretty broad. Let's define it as "have a productive experience" because any non-period matched programs have issues other than pure compatibility. For example, bring many old DOS programs up on modern hardware and they will "work" but be entirely unusable unless you do something to slow them down.

So, 2013 programs that don't "work" on 2005 hardware? Off the top of my head: SolidWorks 2013, VMWARE running Ubuntu 12 on top of Windows, Avid, Visual Studio 2013.
I'm confused by this question. It seems plainly obvious that some people are better than others at understanding the emotional states of themselves and the people around them.

Do you dream in JavaScript? Webflow (YC S13) is hiring front-end engineers
Webflow enables designers and developers to create responsive sites through a powerful visual interface. Our vision is to completely transform how people design and build for the web, and we’re just getting started.

If you haven’t seen Webflow before, check out our demo here: http://playground.webflow.com

We’re looking for a front-end engineer who has:

* Built rich interactive web applications in HTML5/CSS/Javascript
* A strong sense of (or obsession with) design and aesthetics
* Experience with frontend libraries (e.g. Angular/Knockout/VanillaJS)
* Experience with cross-browser development
* A killer backhand in ping pong (this one is strictly a nice to have)

We’re a small team of 3 engineers/designers located in the SF Bay Area. We just graduated from YC and wrapped up our seed round from top tier investors. We offer awesome compensation and benefits, and go to the moon and back to make sure you’re happy.

Interested? Send us an intro to hello@webflow.com - please include links to your previous work and tell us about the first feature you’d like to create/improve in Webflow.
Translation: The recent worldwide economic meltdown was caused in part by quants' inability to accurately assess investment risks, or to influence decision-making, or both.

Part of the problem is the science has a feedback effect; theories based on observations change actors' behaviours, which in turn breaks the theories. So macroeconomics is not on very solid ground as a science. It would work better if it were performed by aliens.

The bottom line is that reliable quantitative analysis hinges on the degree to which economics is a science. Economics isn't a science.

I think you're confusing macroeconomics with economics.
Not from SF here, but I study maps of it frequently for analysis work. Is there really not a single startup there??? I find this a bit hard to believe considering its proximity to downtown.
Is anyone passionate about the new Gmail compose and thinks it's an improvement?
Now that we've had almost a month to get used to it and find the kinks and benefits, does any actually like the new compose more than the old one?<p>We have had some discussion already and the response appears to be overwhelmingly negative (although it could be my selective reading). Some people don't mind or think it's ok for short emails but does anyone actually like it BETTER?<p>I still find it painful to use and am looking for alternatives to Gmail. It will be a long, painful process to switch all my accounts to a new address but my frustration when using Gmail has skyrocketed while my productivity has decreased a little bit. I actually miss the days of the super light Gmail UI. It was really a joy to use, although I only realize it now.
Nice vacation picture

I've written[1] about this trend way back in June of 2009. The drop wasn't as dramatic as it is now, but it was certainly there. We have (fortunately) come a long way since then.

It's also funny reading how Chrome had a 1.9% share at that time, and how I found it amazing :)

This attitude is what I want to see in our community period. Android/Git/whatever.. tell me WHY I should give you access, without assuming your intent is implicitly good.
I think that I've heard YC partners say that the private, off the books conversations that happen at YC between visiting entrepreneurs and the people in the batch are some of the most valuable parts of the experience.

Aren't some of the the off the record things done at YC (speakers at weekly dinners, some meetings with the partners, etc) kind of at odds with the Gittip philosophy?
I'm currently living in Canada, and for a while people would say "Oh, you're from the London UK, I heard they have mass surveillance there and more cameras than people[1]". The worst to judge were Americans I met.

In other words, teachers themselves must have sufficient skill in emotional intelligence.

EQ, I think, is best taught as the emotion arises. But if you're going to actually teach it as a cirriculum, you can't simply use words. That misses the point of the emotional aspect of the interaction.

Instead, use roleplaying where you have to move your body, as if you are in a play. And actually be able to generate the emotions coming up so that you feel it, and it leaks out as body gestures and facial expressions. Otherwise, it won't even be a "feel good" exercise, merely a checkbox to tick off on paper.

The news (which is admittedly kind of buried in the wall of text) is they are releasing new Chromebooks from many manufacturers based on Intel's newer Haswell microarchitecture.
Yeah, it's very similar to how XBox Live accounts and digital games work (though, interestingly, it is dramatically inferior to the model Microsoft had proposed for XBox One before everyone got angry and forced them to backpedal - that model had dramatically superior sharing features)
I agree, the presentation is fantastic! Well done.
All the games have separate Steam keys, too. Sweet!
>Seriously? You could also state "Unemployment literally doubles if you're Black or African American."

Your race is not something you can (or should) do anything about, but you can very well try to get a college degree.

>It's correlation does not imply causation at the basest level. It's more likely the higher your social and economic background is, the more college you can afford, and the better job you can get.

That sounds like a direct causual link. Richer -> Degree -> Job. How does "correlation does not imply causation" come into play at all? It's exactly because of being rich that you can get into a better education, and it's because of getting into a better education that you can get into a better job.

>Unless your profession requires a degree (laywer, doctor...)

It's not only the profession that requires a degree. A lot of employeers, nay, most, require a degree too. Especially for higher end jobs.
Eggs and Milk came right from the chickens and cows. Thankfully, I was spared this lifestyle (thanks mom!).

Some of the earliest practical refrigeration on the farm (eg. the Icy Ball [1]) is from the early-late 1920s. That was during my grandmother's lifetime. If you think about it, the change in lifestyles she's witnessed in ~100 years is pretty bloody impressive: refrigeration, electricity, telephones, computers, etc.

It's more likely the higher your social and economic background is, the more college you can afford, and the better job you can get.

In our society, getting a college degree has been one of the best ways to improve your social and economic standing. Being the first person in your family to go to college is a huge deal, because it means you're entering a whole different social level.

According to the data in your link, for a "Black or African American", the difference in unemployment from high school graduation to college graduation is 13.4% to 6.3%. That's half, just like I said!
"Can a friend and I share a library and both play at the same time?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time."

Nothing, it just illustrates the meaningless of the term "desktop-class".
It's unfortunately been a poor neighborhood for a long long time. The university is too far for students to take advantage of low cost of living, and without young people providing both custom and cheap labor, it is difficult to grow the cultural infrastructure. It'll change eventually, and maybe Kato will be able to trigger a renaissance there... It's a ridiculously convenient location (1 bart stop away from downtown SF).
Loosely, no. Sorry. :-/

Please don't take hardcore fundamentalist strictly-literalist narratives as the accepted "way" of Christianity.

Genesis was regarded as metaphorical around ~400AD, iirc (Augustine). Pretty sure the modern literalist movement is a post-1850 phenomenon. I don't get into the creation story discussions, it is entirely irrelevant in many ways to me. Waste of our time, IMO.

Judaism in particular is aggressive about doubt and questioning. I read in one intro book on it (by a rabbi, I think) that doubt is one of the defining characteristics of Jewish faith.

Anyway, modern scholarship tries in part to disentangle what was meant in the context of that time and place, determining what the precise meaning (or set of meanings) could have meant, then drawing out inferences to be taken from the work. This does involve, from time to time, revising our understanding of what happened when, where, and why. The story of the early reformation is, in one dimension, loosely a story of rereading the texts and throwing out certain interpretations based on closer analysis.
What Are You The Best In the World At?
This post really resonated with me. Software development is a second career for me, and I wasn't prepared for the aggressive way that many programmers try to prove that they're smarter than you.

Steve said a lot of things. He couldn't figure out what tablets were good for other than reading on the toilet ... as he was furiously working on a tablet. And he said 7" wasn't a great size for tablets ... as he was excitedly exchanging internal memos about making a 7" tablet. Phones and Mac Pros are very different but 10" iPads and MBAs not so much and are only getting closer. And the Mac Pro can't be more than 5% of their OS X business.
You mean around the same time (give or take 1-2 years) that common people found out that their machines were perfectly good for most of the uses they had in mind, and started feeling the need to constantly upgrade them much less?

This has been a rumored coming feature forever but I can't for the life of me figure out how this benefits steam, or even how they convinced publishers to take part in this.

Whats their motivation? Did they go over the publishers heads with this? I'm curious to see how this pans out.
Oh cool, Watsi is one of the charities that the funds are being shared with. Gaming for medicine!
... on closer inspection, it seems functionally equivalent to logging into steam on a friend's computer, except that you don't have to type in your password on their machine and you can kick them off easily.

Considering how much trouble Steam has with phishing and accounts getting hacked, it's obviously a good idea to minimize any use-case where users are allowing others to get at their passwords. This kind of feature will probably save Valve money in the long-run.

Still, doesn't match what I hoped. I was hoping to see a way to share a few games on a machine within the same house, so I could have my set-top machine and my desktop machine divvy up the console-style and pc-style games without constantly having to re-log-in.

True. When you know very little there's a lot of stuff that you don't even know that you know.

But I was replying to comment that suggests a type of knowledge relativism that many times comes attached with words like "ninja" and "rockstar" and that makes my skin crawl. We live in an age of too much networking, not enough deep thought and deliberate practice. It is symptomatic that "you can be an expert just by faking it" philosophies start to pop up. I suspect this is not good in the long term. I'd bet this is how the Roman empire collapsed :)
What happens in situations like this if you use a hidden volume within an encrypted file using something like Truecrypt, which allows plausible deniability? You've supplied the "password" but the real meaty stuff is still hidden away...

Yes, Yes, and more Yes.

More to come as I dig more into it....
Sounds like it. The whole library is on one machine at a time.

You could do this before by logging into Steam from a buddy's computer... but that's got risks associated with it.

This just lets you loan out your whole library without risking your steam account.
Pre-Steam games weren't tied to an account, so this is just bringing that capability back.

That's an insightful comment and an important point. Because the underlying computation is physical, there's no such thing as side-effect-free computation. Any attempt to treat programming as purely mathematical, i.e. pure FP, is going to run up against this physical substrate. You can't abstract it away completely, and it gets complicated if you try. So I don't think pure FP is likely to be an ultimate solution to the core problems of minimizing complexity and building scalable abstractions. It would be, if programming were math, but math is not executable.

I believe one can even see this in the OP. Some of those examples seem more complicated than the side-effecty, loopy code that they're replacing. Maybe it is all habit and my mind has been warped by years of exposure to side effects and loops. But what if those things are more "native" to programming than pure FP can easily allow, and we need a more physical model of computation?

I've often thought it would be interesting to try teaching programming as a kind of mechanics in which values are physical commodities that get moved around and modified—to see whether it would be more accessible to beginners that way. I also wonder what sort of programming languages one might come up with out of such a model. It would be an interesting experiment. One would use mathematical abstractions to reason about such a system, but would not think of the system itself as a mathematical one.
So it's a pedantic argument over the usage of the word intelligence. Sort of like your original quip, no?

Locke suggests the use of the word skill instead; however the definition of intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge and skills.

Given that the NICHD is pushing for consensus, and that I am not (and neither are you, given your non-primary source) qualified to determine the status of EI, let's not dismiss it outright.

How about contributing meaningfully to the discussion instead of alternating between trolling and non-authorative copypasta?
Yes this seems to be true, it's in essence providing users a easy approved way to share their steam logins, which happens a lot already.
This is a very interesting perspective on LLVM. I don't believe Apple has the most contributors (IE compared to the community as a whole), and i don't think they ever did.

They also haven't pushed it as much as you'd think.
For example, Apple had precisely nothing to do with Linux or FreeBSD support for LLVM.

Now, you could definitely make your statement about clang, but not LLVM itself. Apple deserves a lot of credit for pushing clang forward.

On the LLVM side, however, since about 2 years ago, Google has probably has as much impact on LLVM as Apple, and you hear nothing about this, because they don't hold external developer conferences talking about it.

(You can count the number of Google presos at recent developer meetings if you want a good indication of how involved they are).

Now, of course, in reality, the credit should go to the people doing the work, regardless of where they work, but HN and other places always like to set up these things up as if they are really corporate projects.
"Can I share specific games, or do I have to share my whole library? Libraries are shared and borrowed in their entirety."

Looks like you're right. It's one less step than just giving someone your username and password.
Some people like moving the scroll bar (which seems to be your preference). Other people like moving the document (which is my preference).

There's no right or wrong choice here. The current default logically makes sense -- your cursor is located at a document, and when you're moving your fingers upward, the document also moves upward.

But like any changed default, there are people who liked the previous setting. And there are of course people who want to use (or have to use) other OSes where this setting can't easily be changed. Those people can change the OS X setting at will.
