Thanks. I am not in the US no. I will look at other uses.

I have read this article and as far as i can see my game using the real names wouldn't fall under any of the "bad" usage trademark infringement," "trademark dilution," "trademark tarnishment,"and "defamation.". But I would still want a second opinion even before taking it up with a trademark lawyer :)
Search in smarter way
I saw him give a talk at Google yesterday (my short take on it http://markwatson.com/blog/2013-10/google-author-talk-alexis.... He had a lot of good ideas, some reflected in this article. He didn't make any age related comments yesterday, perhaps because he had someone with grey hair and beard sitting in front of him (that would be me :-)

He seems like a great guy who cares about people and the future.
The biggest difference is ease of use. The more secure a system, the less user friendly it tends to get, and that is the cause why the general public don't get secret and top secret cryptographic products...
There seems to be some confusion between a resume and a portfolio.

While this is clever, unfortunately what it does is make the job of getting the candidate's details harder. Say I have a pile of resumes and what not on my desk, and this. I want to compare them. Easy with the pile of 2 page resumes and attached portfolios, but with this I have to muck on a computer, trying to make out various bits and bobs, then even note them down myself so that I can compare. In fact, I clicked twice and gave up.

People have suggested this is a great way for a designer to show case skills. But IMHO, this is a colossal disaster. What it has does is allow design to get in the way of the content, and worse still, make the content less accessible. Yes, very cute, flashy, clever and skilled, but it shows that the so called designer has failed to understand what the point of design is. Design is supposed to facilitate, NOT make things harder. If it make life harder, it has failed. Does it make the recruiters job easier? No. Does it facilitate the passing on of vital information? No. Clever skills, but a design failure.

Really, I fully understand and appreciate that hackers appreciate the raw skills, and so we should, but I don't think people have their hiring HR heads on, and have also forgotten the basic point of design.

Sorry to swim against the tide here, but given a pile of competent resumes, I'd probably skip this applicant.
I don't know about the other games, but Wolfenstein 3D is definitely not abandonware. You can still buy it on Steam, XBLA, PSN and other places.
Do not rely completely on Time Machine backups. I learnt the lesson in a painful way. My MBP crashed a few years back, and Apple decided to replace the motherboard. Unfortunately, Time Machine detected this as a new laptop, and won't let me restore from the backups.

These days, i backup only user data and i don't worry about the base OS. In fact, i prefer this over TimeMachine style backups. Photos go to Google Drive, work related documents to Dropbox, all code goes to BitBucket/Github, and thats about it. Videos and other personal stuff get backed to an external disk.
I'd prefer a two page resume, and later on a nice fat portfolio.

I'm not from the bay area-- do the train operators seem to have any public support? I feel like it's hard to sympathize with striking workers who are already among the highest paid in the country for this line of work.
It's lovely and refreshing, but I agree. You can't run the course in 7 seconds, so there is no way to quickly get a picture about you and whether you fit into the position the recruiter tries to fill.
I would just add an overview at the beginning of the course, or a link to your LinkedIn (or similar) profile.
First, we would expect to see such matter production occuring today, not just in the past.

Second, and much more conclusively, we have specific predictions from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (which was just 20 minutes after the big bang, when the entire universe was as hot and dense as the interior of a star) that match up to observations today with exquisite detail. BBN is perhaps the most stunning underappreciated fact about our world, even amongst physicists.
Wow, I really can't believe the negativity there. This is creative and amazing. The guy seems like a winner. The comments on here are dreadful. The point here was to make a statement and get eyeballs. This site already has accomplished that.
Ask HN: What is the best way to save links for later?
Well, I have a big problem.

I need to real save several links per day, no matter if the site goes down, dissapears or the article gets edited.

I tried Evernote Web Clipper: good, but very limited. Even with a paid account I get only 1GB which is not enough.

The example page I tried to save has 3.2MB (no cache).
With a html2pdf solution I got a 1.5MB PDF, which is good, but I think there might be a better solution.

A tool that only saves the URL is excluded.

Do you have any idea related to this?
I also think the article to be terrible.

The article believes making more children have more shit on their head is the way to go...

No, seriously, that is not "learning to think" that is learning formulas and other random shit that you will never use on your life with few exceptions.

Learning to think is when you allow kids to learn on their own, what they are curious about, when curiosity drives learning, THEN people learn to think, because they have to.

When you just hammer random facts on someone head, you just fill that someone head with random facts... And the only need for that, is to hammer those random facts on someone else head.
if I understand correctly they are short sighted so a good picture to add would be a macrophotography with a background to see where is their best vision in terms of depth of field no ?
I thought the same thing about the graphs!! I was confused what I was supposed to be looking at when I saw the second graph.

Unfortunatelly, so few people, even on this board, understand this. And the whole "artists should be poor and art should be free" idea expressed here many times is all that taken to extreme.
It is due to the implementation used for lexical scoping. With 5.2, I actually consider it wrong to think Lua code has a global scope and it has no global get or set VM op instructions, there is however an environment. The environment's default name being _ENV and _ENV can also be local. _G is normally, in 5.2, an entry in _ENV that points to back to _ENV.
Huh? I restored the same TimeMachine backup to multiple different machines, including a hackintosh.

They should be. Artificially keeping jobs alive that are better, safer and cheaper performed by machines is bad for everyone in the long run, even the train drivers.
There are many better open source alternatives for end users. Being locked into one product is not a good thing.
They don't make programmers like Carmack any more. When he was around, Carmack and his comrades were making the rules and paving new paths doing things that were considered impossible. These days, finding the answers is all too easy thanks to Stack Overflow and Github. I also feel as though the limits of computing in a gaming sense like Quake and Doom were will never happen ever again.
Would a single, promiment link at the start to a vanilla CV/resume have negated this? Then you would have the best of both worlds.
You can absolutely use time machine backups with a different Mac, the process is slightly different but still works.

Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac

When you buy a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made.

You will be asked if you want to transfer files when you start up your new Mac for the first time. Or, you can use the Migration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities).

After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.

That would be interesting, however after launching adb shell:

shell@mako:/ $ grep vfat /proc/filesystems
vfat
shell@mako:/ $ grep vfat /proc/mounts
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem /firmware vfat ro,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0337,dmask=0227,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0

So fat is being used in spite of not having an SD card.

Do not rely completely on Time Machine backups. I learnt the lesson in a painful way. My MBP crashed a few years back, and Apple decided to replace the motherboard. Unfortunately, Time Machine detected this as a new laptop, and won't let me restore from the backups.

But Time Machine backups are just a folder with (yet another) folder per backup timestamp. It doesn't use deltas or anything fancy, unchanged files are just hard linked.

In other words, you can browse a Time Machine backup like any other filesystem. For instance, you could just use cp or rsync to restore an exact copy.

On a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme with external hard disk, the files live in some disk image IIRC, but even there it is generally not hard to restore files.
If you haven't read this book, go get it. It's the ultimate start-up story.

They start out as the most rag-tag group of developers. They took their computers home on the weekends from their day jobs at SoftDisk to work on their own games. These weren't MacBook Airs, they were full-tower 386 desktops with CRT monitors!

They packed into an apartment for their first 'real' offices. The story about them re-creating Super Mario pixel by pixel using a VHS recorder and TV is great.

Then these guys spent a small fortune on NeXT workstations to create Doom/Quake! Who doesn't dream about using the most high-end tools you can get your hands on.

And in the end, they all end up as famous 'rock star' millionaires driving Ferraris.

The trouble with "simulations" like these is they ignore cognitive post-processing - much like visualizations of what it's like to look through a compound eye portraying it as like looking at a wall of TV sets.

The human images and the cat images are not comparable because the human images represent a subjective impression, rather than a prediction from visual capabilities like the cat images. For example, the human images are crisp right out to near the edges. This is simply inaccurate - you can only read text within a FOV of about 6 degrees.
What Is Software Quality? 
Nice article, thanks :-).
Here in Europa there is a special tech applied for good quality coding. It's called "clean code development". For reference see http://www.clean-code-developer.de/. Unfortunately it's a German text. Who of you has heard of it ?
Thanks.

The Nexus 4 was massively supply constrained, not available in most countries (either for a long time after launch or at all depending on country), didn't do LTE, and wasn't marketed heavily. If you're comparing it to the S4, which is the most marketed consumer tech product on the market and is available everywhere, it's not surprising it didn't sell.
Haha, that is great. My Python would be at like 2 then. lol
I wouldn't say that. I've been using SSDs since 2009, and I've never had an issue with them. Every MacBook I've owned since then has had a hybrid of SSD + HDD for speed and capacity, and it seriously works a treat. The only issue I have ever encountered with them was an issue between a very specific combination of drives, once that was nutted out it's been solid as a rock. I would never go back.

Why We Have Our Best Ideas in The Shower
So why is Lua so much faster than Python? I tried searching about this but primarily people discuss historical context. I'm curious about real language features and whys.
SSD's are not there yet, if you ask me. I've been running on a custom SSD on my Mac mini, with restarts required once daily after crashing (mostly due to chrome). A dozen friends of mine also had a buggy experience with SSDs. They are super fast, I mean. But not so reliable at this point in time.

There are some ugly SSDs out there with firmware problems (e.g. some people have reported problems with OCZ). I have been using different SSDs for three years (Apple branded, Samsung, and Intel) and I never had any problem or bugs. In fact, since Apple uses Samsung themselves, I have also used Trim Enabler without problems.
Who coined the phrase 'squircle". Are these not superellipses[1]?

This is what I always notice. I think it might just be that because there is such a low barrier to entry in IT and SE, that people notice more the sex bias. However, it happens in every industry - imagine trying to have a girl passionate for cars get into an auto mechanic shop gig. It would be constant harassment in 99% of places, regardless of their capabilities or skillset.

Likewise, stick a guy in a fashion designers shop, or as a nurse (rather than licensed doctor), or a secretary. You get the inverse sexual harassment for not filling your "role".

That is why I always see a lot of these attempts in the macro-IT space to try to correct sexism as doomed to fail, because they act like the rest of the world is fair but they are just being immature when the real problem is bigger than they are, it is just obscured by excuses like women are weaker so they shouldn't work in a mechanics shop, or men don't have the empathy to teach 2ed grade, when it is just an inherent long running cultural prejudice I think is evaporating from the collective psyche but it is taking centuries rather than decades.

But Germany essentially went to war in WWI to defend their allies, who had suffered what was quite arguably an act of war, namely a terrorist attack on their dignitaries on foreign soil, and which the nationalities involved were, according to them, not very cooperative. Now if you argue that is not the same, then the US invasion of Afghanistan is also a US war of aggression.

Because if they died together, they're part of the same group. If some are small skulls (ie. children) and some adults (a family that died in a natural disaster, landslide, ... say), then they obviously interbreeded, at which point they would be re-classified as only one species, and maybe something other than genetical differences account for the differences in skulls.

DKIM is not a feedback loop. A feedback loop is when someone hits spam on one of your emails, the provider lets you know what message caused the user to hit spam. If you have a unique message id or something else in the email encoded in you can tell who it was and not send them any more emails.
In that case, I think it works for both parties. He ruled you out as a potential employer. The person who admires it would probably see the candidate as a good fit.
This. I don't think a single education system in the world gets this right, because it is so diametrically opposed to being able to gauge performance or have metrics to evaluate aptitude. You basically have to sit down and have a conversation with the person whenever you want to profile their progress, but nobody wants to put that time in with children, and it isn't something you could rate on a scale or regurgitate into teachers brains on how to perform. It requires critical thinking to see critical thinking.
How to change your patterns
I think this misses one of the keys aspects of cat vision, movement perception. You'd need video for that. I imagine they see something like a glowing trail around moving stuff. Depeding on light conditions my cat might ignore food/toy until it moves.
I suppose it depends on the drive, controller and firmware. I slapped an OCZ SSD into my Early 2011 Macbook Pro on day one, and it's been running flawlessly ever since.

I've never really seen it advertised. They definitely don't spend the kind of money Samsung do advertising the S3/4. Also, the hardware isn't all that nice looking when compared with the S3/4 or iPhone. It's very bulky in my opinion and looks are important to the average consumer.

I got one a few months ago (my first Android device) and I'm pretty happy with it but: the camera sucks, the screen is weak (I'm not sure the issue, it just looks a lot worse than the S3/4 and iPhone) and it's bulky. If I didn't need it for development purposes I wouldn't keep it for those three reasons. I'd probably go with an S3 if I were going to use Android everyday (although Touchwiz puts me off).
... that is the strangest collection of complaints I've ever seen about Lua. He obsesses over minor syntactic quibbles like the lack of a += operator and the ~= and "not" instead of C's inexplicable exclamation marks (how does this man stand SQL?) but he doesn't dwell on Lua's bigger flaws.

I mean, 1-based arrays, weird scoping and the pairs/ipairs thing seems far more serious than the lack of a proper conditional operator (how long did Python go before it got a conditional operator?)

Lua is everything it was meant to be - a lightweight, user-friendly, safe language that runs nice and fast in spite of being very hashtable-oriented. There's a good reason it's heavily used as a scripting language for game engines and other platforms that need to let users run code provided by other users - a more "batteries-included" language would have users wiping each other's filesystems.

Well, they could be telling the truth. E.g. "(If and) When we get a query, we respond to it in our N second allowed window" (as I recall the total time allowed is 7 seconds).

I'm pretty sure some decent fraction of the entities Healthcare.gov queries behind the scenes are doing their job.

Well, most of the time. One thing that occurred to me is that if certain actions require a lot of backend queries to different sources, multiplying the probabilities each could outright fail or blow the window could result in an overall flaky system.

Which doesn't directly explain why the offline part of the registration system is failing so often.

Nexus 4 was available for like a few hours at launch, and then it was out of stock for literally 3 months after that, putting a significant damp on its total demand, I think.

Google botched the launch big time last year. Hopefully they won't repeat the same mistake this year. Even if all of their stock sells within a day, they should at least be ready to satisfy 2-3x that within another 2 weeks. Waiting another 3 months is just ridiculous.
maybe i mis understand lightweight, but this looks enormous to me.

Spot on. There's no doubt as a candidate you need to be comparable but you differentiating yourself is a multiplier.

I applied for a marketing job at a fire safety firm. I'd never worked under a marketing job title (business development was my background) so I needed to differentiate.
