Run-n-Read: Read with ease while running or commuting
Run-n-Read enables you to read with ease while running on a treadmill/elliptical, or riding in a moving vehicle.

The device tracks your head movements and then moves the text on the screen in real time to always be in sync with your eyes. Though a person standing nearby can see the text jumping up and down, for the person wearing the device the text would appear perfectly still. It works with iOS and Android devices with Bluetooth 4.0.

Don't let running get in the way of finishing your book, catching up on news or just staying up to date.

Problem with Straford is that

a) new builds in the UK are made as cheaply as possible.

b) new builds go down in value as soon as you buy them

c) we in Europe hate soulless man planned cities - a lot of the area around the olympic park feels this way.

I think the government could have just paid for the cleanup of the area and done something like subsidise housing for the poor there with the money, rather than pay the the huge costs of running the games. The opening ceremony was pretty good though :-D

Is there any way for a hobbyist game dev to try out the engine in a game? say, for the next ludum dare or some such competition.

I think real feed back comes from people using it, and can't be given by only viewing screenshots or video demos. I m assuming you are going to license the engine out of course.

I've been out for about 5 years. Graduated with my MPhil in Materials Science in 2008 (after having done my undergrad in Electrical and Computer Engineering) and went to work for a few years. I am now back in school getting my MBA.

My advice is this: go and try something with a company that you think does good things for the world and has people you think you can connect with. Spend 2-3 years there, then evaluate how you feel about what you are doing. You are 23 or 24? Look at your first job as an opportunity to learn and a way to meet and work with smart, good people. Be happy in your work and do a good job. Then use that experience as a springboard to something that fits you even better.

For me, I was really happy to be a technical guy. I still am. In fact, I am starting a company that is extremely technical. With that said, I wanted to get my MBA because I wanted to learn how to solve problems on the other side of management. I have had 2 real jobs (not counting internships), and with every change I try to get 50% closer to my ideal. This way, I figure by the time I am 40, I will be somewhere that I am happy for a long time.

Pithy advice: don't stress about finding the perfect job right now. You are supposed to be new at this. Take advantage of that, find a team you like (even if the job is only a so-so fit, the people will make it better), and do some looking inward.

i liked the purpose of the whole story and concern ... movies portray most impractical things of life ... they take you to Lala-Land which doesn't exist .... they sell dreams - when you realized that your love life is nothing like hero and heroine in the movies then you're heartbroken and then life goes down the spiral ... especially in Bollywood movies - they take your emotions to the highest point with no real life conflict ... dancing in the rain and/or Switzerland scenic beauty is not love ... in real life, the dance starts with the conflicts and arguments and debates for every small thing which you just cant figure out how to resolve because in your head you're still that hero/heroine looking for that ever sacrificing spouse :(

"I conjecture that the Olympics were used as a mechanism to force through a substantial number of planning permissions that would not have been granted otherwise"

There was also fairly widespread use of compulsory purchase orders [1] to obtain land for the olympic park [2]. A significant number of people lost their homes, and businesses were forced to move, so that private-sector developers could take-over the land.

Not knowing much at all about erlang (other than its apparent software uptime), could you briefly tell me how erlang achieves such amazing performance and reliability? Is it due to the way erlang code is written (which is pretty functional looking to me) more than the vm's inherent structure, or a bit of both?
Always good to see such well reasoned technical discussion here on HN. You make a particularly well-reasoned point about the text in the title and how it affects the technical aspects of the VM.

I actually went through the same thing! I was also working on a voxel engine a good few years ago and when going through all the ways of turning voxels into meshes I invented my own version of marching cubes as well.

When I finally found the right search terms to Google on the issues I ran into I came across the real marching cubes algorithm and was actually happy I figured out most of it on my own. A good boost for my self-confidence. The fact that the patent just had ran out was nice as well.

Typical example would be car choice. Middle class dude selects based on TV commercials, friends opinions, and conspicuous consumption, ending up with a giant pickup truck typically, however most rich dudes drive something quite a bit more modest.

Actually, Oracle is a company famous for its relational database. Also, it's notable for its hostility towards open-source and free software.

My bet is that their website must be accessible to the corporate desktops of companies that buy Oracle stuff. That means it has to work with IE6, most likely.

> If you plan to be in a location for more than a year

To paraphrase another response, this is so wrong it physically hurts. This type of nonsense is exactly what causes people in their early 20's to buy a $350,000 house and end up foreclosed on 18 months later.

Running any rent v. buy calculator for my area shortly before buying my home (at the end of 2010) told me that I needed to be in the area (e.g. within a 30-minute commute by car) for 7 years to break even on the purchase of a home. After that the benefits of buying quickly took over the benefits of renting, but for those first 7 years it is technically a financial loss.

This is just flat-out dangerous and wrong "advice."
Either would be appropriate, though I did mean flatmates.

In college I and many other adults had literal roommate, including some who lived in off-campus apartments. My father tells a story, back in the 1960s, of a place he lived for a few months where there were more people than beds. They used hot-bunking, since some worked nights.

In any case, if your reference is living in a city like NYC or SF then the item "Move to foreign country where it's cheaper to live" should be changed to the more generic "Move to a place where it's cheaper to live."

The emphasis on "foreign country" is why I agree with jquery's comment that the list is 'about status and "conspicuous authenticity", not about actually living cheaply.'

If you can work in a forest in Sweden, then you can also work in Buffalo, where the cost of living is about 1/2 of that NYC. Or for that matter, you can work from a forest in New York State, and save the price of airfare.
What about an all-girls school? It will be interesting to see how many students there opt for Programming subjects.

>I have never seen an example of gender stereotyping as explicit as that on HN

does gender stereotyping manifests an intellectual failure on the part of the one expressing the stereotypes? If yes, does such intellectual failure is localized, say to the area of percepting and understanding gender relations in the industry, or is it a system-wide failure of the intellect of the stereotyping (i.e. something like a habit/instinct of using stereotypes)?
I did not know this until someone explained it to me. It was before this post, but long after my teens were over. Peoples general attitude to sex and relationships can only come from their life experiences, right? My parents were in a loveless marriage and divorced early in my life, so my guide to healthy relationships was tv, movies and porn.
Hardly sounds definitive. From your link:

"There is a debate about whether the word should be 'less' or 'fewer'," a campaign spokesman said. "Saying 'up to ten items' is easy to understand and avoids any debate."

and

A Tesco spokesman said: "The debate about what is right has been going on for years now, and I still don't think we know if 'less' or 'fewer' is correct."

> Open WiFi in this day and age is kind of stupid.

Why? I genuinely want to know. What harm is there if my WiFi is open? Is there a danger that someone will use up my bandwidth? (I don't really care.) Is there a risk that evil [child pornographers / terrorists / whoever it is we hate this week] will use my open WiFi connection and thus be completely untraceable (which they could never have achieved without my assistance)?
Being entertained is, as feeling a global spirit of humanity, as being proud to be a good host to the world. That are a lot of positive emotions I connect with the Olympic Games. It's quite expensive, but you only do it all 20-odd years (considering also Winter Olympics and Soccer Worldcup). Some modesty is in place, but it would be such a shame if we did not have these events anymore.

If you really concur then you'll be comfortable to sit in a car or rocket that's produced by an army of zombies so dog-tired that if they where truck drivers they'd legally be considered a road hazard.

Of course you wouldn't, nobody would, and you don't believe that's how Musks cars and rockets are produced, that'd be crazy and irresponsible.

But somehow it's not crazy and irresponsible to drive a company in a state where you'd be forbidden to go on the road.

These girls weren't even in school when you were getting bullied, many of them weren't even alive. The 'nerds' in school weren't in school at the time, and probably weren't even alive.

There is no group of feminists that bullied nerds by disassociating with them (beyond what is acceptable in just not talking to people who don't share your interests) in this story 'claiming the nerds prevented them from programming for sexist reasons.' There is a girl getting treated like crap by people, for no good reasons, because of some group-politics sexism.

You're just foisting the arguments of the past, of different people, onto the current generation - This isn't like there's some evil cheerleader figure who stumped nerds for years turning up and expecting them to welcome her into their programming fraternity.
Except that etiquette would dictate that the individual host foot the bill for a huge dinner party, whereas the taxpayers foot the bill for the Olympics.
Game in the JavaScript console
For the curious, it looks like in this situation it is always better to rent given the following assumptions:

- $900 rent
- Rent increasing 3%/year (default)
- $356,000 home with 3.5% down (FHA minimum), closest I could get to a $1,400/mo mortgage since the parent said $1250 didn't get the amenities of a $900 rent
- Home values increasing 2%/year (default)
- 3.75% mortgage rate (my current rate)
- 1.25% property taxes (default)

From the NYT Rent v. Buy calculator: "If you stay in your home for 30 years, renting is better. It will cost you $209,282 less than buying, an average savings of $6,976 each year."

At this point it's a lifestyle decision. Either you want to own a home or you don't.

> the JVM doesn't, so it won't without heavy magic

The JVM does support hot code loading. In statically typed languages like Java it's not so easy to use, but there's no reason not to use it for Erlang.

> and it definitely doesn't work in a soft-realtime manner

You're misinterpreting. While the JVM, unlike Beam, has a single heap (which brings significant performance advantages over Erlang's copying), its GC is so much more advanced than Beam's, that in spite of this limitation there's no reason it shouldn't behave as well as, or better, than Beam.

Also, this is a solved problem. If you want to absolutely guarantee no pauses at all, use a commercial JVM that guarantees that.

> you're just running a pretty-useless-for-its-intended-purpose subset of the language.

This is a huge exaggeration. Beam has its issues as well, and if you can deliver better performance overall a lot of people would gladly take it in exchange for the occasional pause (or pay money to eliminate the pause).

> Erlang is a painful language to code in; you don't do it because it's pretty. You do it for what the BEAM VM and the OTP libraries give you: the ability to spawn 100k processes representing, say, people's phone calls, or their MMO game sessions, and not drop any connections for something piffling like a garbage collection pass, or a bugfix. I would expect no less of any "universal" VM. (Though I might, of course, expect more. It should probably be able to do CPU-bound stuff like large matrix multiplications without dragging the rest of the VM down, for example.)

The JVM can deliver all that, with awesome performance to boot.

I have the utmost respect for Beam, but the JVM can give Erlang a different set of tradeoffs that is very attractive in many circumstances (I would argue in most). No one can take Erlang's valuable concepts away from it. That doesn't mean running it on a different VM implementation is not beneficial for both Erlang and JVM communities.
Slightly OT, but when renting a house you don't generally have a lot of security. At the end of your lease (which is typically only a year long), if the landlord wants to move in or rent to someone else or sell the place, you've got to pack up and get out. Moving every year or two can quickly add to the cost.

Note: This obviously applies more to renting an entire house than an apartment in an apartment building.
Please don't be passive-aggressive, it's perfectly fine to call people out for being narrow-minded and, dare I say, lazy.

I don't think there's many homeowners or wannabe carpenters on HN...

If you go to a typical Home Depot, at least around here, they have a wide variety of outdoor "garden sheds" on display for all price ranges from $1K to $6K or so. You're talking about one around the $4K size, just a little too small and underengineered to frame a garage door opening.

Then you need to add the additional stuff, insulation, windows, etc. You can add that as you go. Its cheap to frame in a window opening and later install a window.

My grandfather turned a very large garden shed into what amounts to a workshop when I was a kid. I guess a workshop with plumbing is a small house.

I would advise anyone making an outdoor workshop or whatever to do the substantial structural reinforcement needed to install doors at both ends. Not just for convenience of driving cars thru, but the incredible opportunity for shade and ventilation two doors provides. The structural reinforcement required was huge / amazing all I remember was multiple 2x10 beams.. without a cross member its susceptible to folding from wind unless the joints are ridiculously overbuilt, which they were... An a-frame would have been infinitely simpler structurally than trying to make something that looks like a conventional garden fence.
Looks like a good start. Can it understand almost any sentence ?
I really like Erlang, but the last thing you can say about it is that it has amazing performance. It's actually quite slow (that's why much of the libraries' functionality is implemented in C), but good enough for many purposes.

Erlang gets its much deserved praise for reliability because of one crucial thing: an almost perfect isolation of processes (actors). What one process does cannot (unless it's consuming a shared resource) affect another.
Difference between the multiple messaging options in Visualforce?
To each his own. I find web development(dynamic or just html/css) doesn't have the instant gratification something like VB has(it doesn't have to be VB). The main purpose of teaching programming to high-schoolers is to con them into learning it themselves. VB, despite its warts, was one of the most popular programming languages of its time. Excel and VB owe its popularity to the simple fact that they aren't hostile(or at least not as hostile as others) to newcomers.
It's rough, but not that bad - I live locally (well in the even 'rougher' Forest Gate) and in the 15 years I've been in the area I've never personally had or seen any trouble - the kids who might look scary are well brought up - there isn't the crippling poverty (or as in other parts of London, poverty next to excessive wealth) that blights other parts.

Much of the crime is theft, rather than violent crime that south London sees - the postcode mentioned in the link above is the postcode of two shopping centres and transport interchange - the places you would expect to see high pick pocketing and shoplifting, which is what the majority crime mentioned in the report is.

I think the adjacent areas have changed, Leyton and Leytonstone are both far nicer - and in the last years have had new interesting pubs, cafes and shops open up.

Would this have happened anyway? Maybe - but most people I talk to are pretty happy with the changes the area has seen.

I'm still a little sad the plan to open Google offices in the Olympic park was shelved - that would have brought in a whole heap of jobs and new people to the area.
Yes. Complete domination might be an issue, though.
