Really, that's what this article says to you?

Sometime folks look at others who are not doing so well and decide to pick up the tab, or just feel like doing it for a complete stranger. Some of its religion, some of it is just spreading the wealth. Sometime its just looking at others in bad situations. Sometimes its just to make themselves feel better.

I've done it a couple of times. I payed for a young lady at a McDonalds because their credit card machine was out and she didn't have cash and had a kid with her. No big deal for me, but I would imagine it helped her day. I've bought one of the pink coffee mugs (breast cancer awareness) and told the clerk to give it to the next lady who comes in. I got to see the reaction, but she never knew who bought it.

Spread a little joy, the world's a circle and it comes back to you.

"If you think this is paranoid, you don't know how our world works."

No, I just find it sad that you believe the dark corners of the world define the whole.
continuous time games are very messy. Defining the correct notion of Nash equilibrium can be very hard since a player might "respond" to another player's strategy epsilon time after that player "moves". Of course when there is a Nash equilibrium that makes sense, it's all the more interesting.
Seems like this page could definitely benefit from some sort of Hello World. What are the primary components, and how do I run it? Perhaps it's not meant to be a simple library, so I'm not trying to say dumb it down. But is there a more digestible way to understand hr.js without having to read the full documentation?

I'd love to see comparisons (as said in another comment). I like the idea of a grown-up Backbone. I'd like to see if there are any smart view rendering optimizations (like Ember has).
Used it once.....yeah
Nitpick: The JS heartbeat can be done in CSS3, otherwise this is great!
Who built the ObamaCare website?
Well for Apple it was a transition. Microsoft is not "transitioning" to ARM, but rather supporting it side by side.
New Android app lets you publish games on you Android Device..
Another potential downside: It doubles the size of the work force. Suddenly there's too many people for a limited pool of jobs, and everyone who works is miserable and makes far too little.

I wonder sometimes if maybe we've swung too far in the direction of gender equality, where now we shame people into believing their self worth can only be found through their professional success, rather than letting them live a life they more care to live. How many times have I seen an article grace the HN homepage defending the idea of being a stay-at-home-whatever?
I agree, I've read too many articles like this one. It's picking up a topic, citing something here and there, some nice stories and persons (a dominatrix, that has to be interesting!), without any point or additional information. It's inflating once 3-paragraph article up to several pages out of nowhere. I like reading longer articles and books but I want a bit more than random chit-chat.
But hey, I now know that some Japanese dominatrix squeezed the testicles of an army general in North Korea. Hooray.
France is also a country where paternity testing is illegal.
Apple did split OSX and iOS in much more profound ways than MS did with Windows & RT. But as usual lately, Microsoft did a terrible job with their branding, PR and product strategy, despite the underlying idea being great.
No, more like "time to learn how to do arithmetic", such as how little something like Fukushima amounts to when diluted in a volume the size of the Pacific Ocean.

The Soviets used to dump scrap ship reactors into the Arctic Ocean whole. Many of them, and over a long period of time.
You people are forgetting feminism.

It has lots to do with it.

Brazil for example has PLENTY of space and cheap places to live (unless you want to live in São Paulo... like where I am now, the prices here ARE fucked up)

Yet marriages are going down to the point of scare the government too.

The reason for it is simple (there has been lots of research, not only here, but on other countries with declining births to dangerous levels): women prefer their careers to motherhood...

Even the UN gender economic report, state that it thinks is a good thing women have less kids because they can get richer (yes, that is written in the report, specifically, the report consider that countries where women have less than 3 kids, are countries that are awesome because they are reaching gender equality, since women with less kids can work more)

For men, it is the invention of no-fault divorce, that keeps marriage pointless (the point of marriage historically, in cultures where divorce was forbidden by law or by custom or by religion, was to force women stay in the marriage, and indeed in countries with no-fault divorce, no matter where, they keep finding that 70% of the divorces with no reason where started by women)
Completely agree with you there mate.
Google is a big place and there's lots going on, both good and bad. There is lively internal debate and plenty of pushback, but there are also good reasons to stay even when you disagree about a particular issue. There are people who leave, but someone who's unhappy might just switch to a different team.
Though I agree that in most cases package managers fulfill this need perfectly well, there are cases in which homebrew does provide something unique. Which is the reason that I contributed a tiny bit to linuxbrew (reporting bugs and suggesting fixes).

1) You need the newest version (ffmpeg for example is something that is often out of date on linux distros, or what about the latest and greatest gcc or llvm, or...)
2) Your distro doesn't have it as a package. Case in point, debian (wheezy) doesn't have ag (the silver searcher). After getting some issues fixed on linuxbrew, I was able to do "brew install ag" on my debian an there it was, a fresh silver surfer.

So I don't agree with most posters claiming or implying that homebrew for linux is useless. The closest (and arguably better) you can get is either Archlinux or Gentoo (of which I prefer Arch, which I used for a long time), but if you don't have free choice of distro, linuxbrew gets you quite far.
Deep Learning oral traditions
I agree, but homebrew replicates only a small part of that the linux package managers do.
That explain why their parliament sometimes comes to physical fights (where in Japan it does not...)
I think the problem is with the tools availables out there, is there a sass or handlebars compiler for PHP?
"Life is like the best video game ever, it has amazing graphics, infinite amounts of levels, a huge map and this ridiculous great freedom. I just needed to pick up the controller."
Yes... The best way to try it is to install it using "npm install hr.js -g" and to create an helloworld using: "hr.js new -d hello".

I'll work on improving the introduction of the documentation to add comparaisons with others frameworks.

Hr have a components-based rendering system: a view could be a component and component could be added directly from templates. http://friendcode.github.io/hr.js/#/template/components
I was asking dljsjr to find out what (s)he prefers in the homebrew ui over synaptic. Synaptic just gets things done without getting in the way.
The decline can be very rapid and dramatic, fishermen have to work harder and harder to maintain their catch levels (my hometown was one of the ones that suffered with the collapse of the northern cod fishery):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_Atlantic_north...

In the 1990s the Northern Cod populations collapsed to less than 1% and after a 20+ year moratorium on fishing has only increased to 10% of its historical stock.
OVH's network is one of the most overly sold of any large multinational host (At one point they had ~40Gbps fiber between their DCs but, of HG servers alone, had sold over 2Tbps of bandwidth). Their volume network has horrible contention and they don't even try to make it worthwhile -- 'best effort bandwidth' is basically what residential bandwidth is.

At one point I had ~5K of servers with them and in any given week one of them would require some work. My org had paid for the best SLA (<2 hour) and we'd often have to wait a day to hear back what the problem is and another day, at least, to get things replaced.

OVH's general business plan is to expand customer base quickly, then take the time to actually build out the network to fit their pre-growth size.

Hetzner is a little better on supportbut they have some annoying policies (See the DDoS thread from yesterday), I do like their automation though. I'm now mostly in Leaseweb and a couple CN-datacenters with my own peering mix
It's not clear if you are asking about Homebrew or Macports. If you're asking for a Linux wrapper around Macports, I think you've found it. If you're asking for a cross-platform build system, NetBSD's pkgsrc (http://pkgsrc.org) supports Linux -- though there is no pkgsrc Homebrew equivalent that I know of.
I took that as a statement of fact (akin to "Chick-fil-a faced a public relations disaster ...") rather than a value judgement.
I'm limited by my phone atm, but does this thing have a GUI?

Using Arch I'm in love with Pacman and AUR, and apt and the other package managers are great/just fine too. They aren't exactly hard to learn so the only way I see Homebrew being needed is if it provides a great GUI with more accessible depth compared to existing alternatives.

What type of resources are these, that can't be controlled with an ACL?
Before building HappyRhino, I tried a lot to improve Backbone because we were using it for building FriendCode (friendco.de) but the code base of Backbone is really not modular and hard to extend (the all backbone code is in one unique file, model/view/collection don't inherit from a "class", etc...)
You're correct about the garbage patch that's typically talked about in the news, but this article mentions:

> "In a lot of places we couldn't start our motor for fear of entangling the propeller in the mass of pieces of rope and cable. That's an unheard of situation, out in the ocean.

> "On the bow, in the waters above Hawaii, you could see right down into the depths. I could see that the debris isn't just on the surface, it's all the way down. And it's all sizes, from a soft-drink bottle to pieces the size of a big car or truck.

> "We saw a factory chimney sticking out of the water, with some kind of boiler thing still attached below the surface. We saw a big container-type thing, just rolling over and over on the waves.

> "We were weaving around these pieces of debris. It was like sailing through a garbage tip.
I would liken it more to the OSX PPC > Intel transition than between OSX > iOS, though both did involve porting a whole operating system to a new processor architecture. In the case of iOS, Apple had a fresh start so there was no need for inter-compatibility between mobile and desktop apps, so no transition layer was ever created. For PPC > Intel, they created Rosetta (an emulation layer that allowed the older apps to run) in order to smooth the transition, and make it somewhat transparent to the user. This was a win by all measures, users got a completely different underlying system that was faster and more power efficient, and they never had to think about it; that's not to say it wasn't slow, but it wasn't something you had to think about.

Microsoft really should have taken the route Apple did, it's the same OS on new hardware that needs an emulation layer to run old apps- and that's alright until there's native builds of the most common suite. The fact that it was barely ever mentioned in Apple's transition says that it worked, and the constant confusion RT causes shows that Microsofts didn't.

Your ignorance is absolutely astonishing, as is the amount of bile excreting from your comment. You should really learn a thing or two about the subject matter before claiming that Buran was created from "stolen blueprints". It wasn't. Its shape and tongue-in-cheek color selection were the only similarity to the Shuttles.
This is a good idea, but a conceptual introduction to web development that dismisses UI/UX as "basically, what makes sites look good" is not one I could ever recommend to anyone.

Years ago I wrote a little proof of concept burying an alpha channel in the JPEG application data area and pulling it back out in the client browser to render JPEG with alpha.

It worked well, for some browsers. Now I expect it would work well on most of them, though I haven't looked at it in years.

It was received with zero interest. That may mean no one needs JPEG with alpha.

HANA Enterprise Cloud is a "managed cloud environment". In other words, IaaS or hosted applications at best; not a true SaaS play.
This article is definitely lacking data but if you want to get the public's ear, you need anecdotes. Few people perk up with a zip full of spreadsheets.

Anecdotes are fine though they should at least be linked to data supporting the argument.

The problem for me is that after reading the article, I still have no idea if the ocean as a whole is losing its ability to sustain human life.

I'm pretty ignorant in this area and unfortunately this article does nothing to increase my knowledge on the subject.
If you're seriously concerned with the legality (side note: legality in what jurisdiction?) of implementing something like that you should spend a couple hundred bucks and chat with an attorney.

Unhelpful, I know, but it seems like you have legitimate cause for concern, especially if you're located in the US, and HN isn't a source for legal advice regardless of the quality of commenters on the site. This is doubly true since the complexity of your question is likely far greater than you might anticipate, as is often the case with legal concerns, and likely not easily addressed here.

So basically, if you're seriously concerned about legality: consult with an attorney. If you can't, or don't want to, spend the money to do so: don't write the library, or at a minimum don't publically distribute it. And if course, none if this is to be construed as legal advise, yada-yada, etc.
Some personal thoughts on the impact of pervasive monitoring. (Ted Hardie)
Yeah, i believe putting my dick into someone else pussy would make us "strongly connected" for at least some time, but I don't agree that the whole point of sex is intimate connection. I believe that the point is to make children. Or (as for me) to make orgasm.
I don't agree with this. Take your car to a mechanic, tell them to change your engine and transmission. Pay them for only the engine change after they have changed both. You will not get your par or part of your car. They will obtain a mechanic lein on your car and sell it. If anything is left, after covering their cost, you get that. I don't think he should give them any of the source code, not a line. The company is clearly trying to bully him.

Looks very interesting.

The only thing I couldn't find in the introduction was how hr.js interfaces with a backend for loading and storing models. Care to explain? One of my complaints against Backbone was that it tightly coupled models/collections to REST resources, which yoru framework seems not to do, and that's obviously a good thing.
> ... Could I ask how you reconcile these two statements?

Yes, that's what happens when I post before having any coffee. Fixed.
I would argue that it's not so much that most women "don't want" casual sex, but that they are judged more harshly for having it. I believe women's sex drives are quite a bit higher than is reported, mainly because women are ashamed to admit their strictly sexual desires.

If that's the case, I'd love to hear how hr differs from all of the other "backbone-on-steroids" projects like Marionette and Chaplin.
There's an analogous effect that's reportedly been around for a long time, possibly worldwide: An anti-correlation between birth rates and things like the education and economic empowerment of women. In addition, even the US has seen a decline in birth rates resulting from economic stagnation. Is Japan an exception, or merely an extreme case due to the tenacity of workplace sex discrimination?

I know you like links, but I am busy now and cannot re-find them...

But basically, any country that is prosperous enough to women work in equal terms to men in a safe environment (ie: police exists and army is strong), ends having women rights movements, a acceptance of homosexuals, and a sharp rise in individualism.

Then a mix of this happen (usually all of it, and it DID happened in Rome):

no-fault divorce (prompting huge amount of women-initiated divorces, and then men stopping marriages)
babysitters and daycare (because women are not home to take care of children)
great numbers of women that prefer their careers over marriage
great numbers of men men that prefer goofing around instead of having responsability over a household.

All this usually results in decline of births, and debt problems as countries start to debase their currency in a attempt to keep the same standard of living for the old while there is not enough young people (this is much worse in countries with military all over the globe, like Rome)

Then you start having governments defaulting on obligations to pay police and army, undoing the conditions that allowed the equality, then your country either drift back to a previous condition, or if it was big enough and streched far enough, it collapses (like Rome did, as your defaulted police and army, immigrants covering for lack of native young people, and lack of native young people to defend their native land, makes your country a sitting duck for anyone that want to bring it down)
Disabling cockpit alarms seems to become routine for some pilots:

The best feature of homebrew, in my opinion, is that it doesn't require sudo for installation of any package -- in fact, it complains if you try to install something with sudo. Contrast that, say, with npm -g. Most npm -g installs will fail without su, unless you are willing to spend a half hour reconfiguring where dependencies install--pretty fucked in my opinion, as you could potentially install something really nasty.

Now, many package managers like apt-get use curated databases for their packages. But in my view, this just is not enough. Homebrew's respect of the user's system is just superior.
It's technically not illegal to link to a site that links to copyrighted material, but there's still the potential for legal challenges to come up - especially if whatever you build is successful.

The RIAA/MPAA etc can ruin your life with an expensive, years-long lawsuit whether you are found guilty in the end or not.

I personally don't see this useful at all for Linux... however I see this replacing ports on most BSD based systems. Its definitely more modern and easier to maintain. I use homebrew for my Mac's but for all my linux systems I use apt/yum depending on the system. I see no reason to use anything else on them.
> MongoDB is easy to make fun of.

I think more often its easy to poke fun at _how_ its used.

When any tool or tech is used globally, before knowing its limitations, problems are likely. Attempting to use MongoDB in all storage or persistence scenarios is no more sensible than using MySQL in all cases.

Yes, there is marketing around this product that must be looked at critically - after taking into account that many newly developed technologies won't solve all the problems older tech have worked for decades to solve.
I am in favor of environmental causes but you seem to discount at least one possibility. The person could be either exaggerating or outright lying. People love to exaggerate problems. The other day a user told me that a particular synchronization froze for over 45 minutes doing nothing right in the middle of it. I sent her the timestamped log file that showed there was no pause in the synchronization and that the entire process took less than 15 minutes. This type of thing is very common.

In addition to commonly exaggerating problems, some people lie to further an agenda. Maybe an employee thinks their nephew deserves a shot at developing the company website so they become hypercritical of everything you do. Or maybe a sailor with subjective memories just doesn't like what fishing boats are doing.

In any case, anecdotal reports should be taken as a call for further study, not as a call to draw conclusions.
Down and out: the French flee a nation in despair
Really like this article. I try not to dump on MongoDB too much because frankly I have never taken the time to understand its internals. I constrain my criticisms to particular unnecessary failures/inadequacies that I personally have experienced (or any "I'll just use mongodb so I don't have to worry about my data" sentiment).

Funny punchline at the end there too.
Agreed, but I think it's indicative of a liberal bias, or at least living in a liberal bubble, to place so much weight on something that most people have long forgotten about (especially the kind of person who eats there).

And the post I was responding to claimed that these things weren't even mentioned by the top poster, which they clearly were.
Let's actually do the arithmetic here.

I don't have an exact number for this reactor, but several sources indicate that nuclear reactors have something of the order of 100 tonnes of uranium in them (there are also fission products, of course, but those are in much smaller quantities).

The oceans have about 4.5 billion metric tons of uranium in them from natural sources.

http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/nuclear/nuclear-fuel-from-th...

It should be clear that even if you ground up the entire Fukushima reactor into a fine powder and dumped it straight into the ocean, it wouldn't make the slightest difference.

Can a reactor disaster pollute the local region, including ground water? Certainly.

Can a reactor disaster make a significant difference in something the volume of the Pacific Ocean? No, it's sheer nonsense.
