yea ive made a few templates

i recommend just copything the casper folder and renaming it. (content/themes/casper)

make your own stylesheet and comment theirs out (it, styles, everything). theirs is screen.css.

you can comment out the ghost included {{body_class}} and {{ghost_foot}} by changing them to {{!body_class}} and {{!ghost_foot}}

after that its just 3 files, default.hbs which is a global template (so its like the html head body tags), and then they insert the body at {{body}}

the body comes from index.hbs or post.hbs, which will be index.hbs: 6 article summaries in a list with a page at the bottom. and post.hbs which will just show 1 post.

the data in the post and index hbs files (handlebars templates) has stuff like {{eachpost}} {{post}} which is all you really have to keep out of those files
whoops. dupe post.
It's disappointing that Autodesk seems to have eaten everything, but does WebGL necessarily help to standardise any sort of 3D asset format?

The (few, simple) WebGL examples I've looked at seem to use JSON to transport the assets from the server to the browser, but the particular representation used is apparently arbitrary.

I admit I'm thinking by analogy, I don't see OpenGL itself having helped standardise asset formats, so I'm wondering if WebGL is different here.
...

So... not optional.

I find the way some people are thinking in this discussion to be very off putting.

It's like you're saying the demographic of people constituting your primary source of income are exceptions. That I can think of it is a completely free service since I am incapable of failure. How insane is that?!
It is not a developing country though, it pioneered space travel, invented TOKAMAKs, underwater electric-arc welding and self-balancing binary trees.

If anything, it's on the way downhill into late 1800s, at least culturally.

Toyota's Upcoming Hydrogen CAr
Toyota has given a small selection of journalists their first taste of prototypes of its long-awaited hydrogen fuel-cell production car–and driving impressions are beginning to surface.
We all know that multi-monitor is a good idea particularly if you need reference material to copy/paste/refer to/from. However, I have had to downsize my monitor collection on a few occasions and I think there is a lot to be said for having just one proper sized monitor on a proper desk. I have actually been able to get more done this way and even not bothered to get the laptop screen out (which I thought would be invaluable for having emails on etc.). There is something special about having just the one immersive screen, even if a lot of ALT+TAB is needed.

As for a dash for an external screen full of cruft I don't see how it can help productivity. It is a lot of info there just on the off chance one might need it. If I really need to know what the weather is going to be like I can find it. As for the latest nonsense on Twitter I can live without it. Plus I have my phone for notifying me of anything I need to act on.

Remember search portals? A whole screen of cruft. Then Google came along with just the one search box. The Google approach was much better. This extra dash full of extra cruft goes against the minimal UI way of doing things. You might as well open up the standard Yahoo homepage in a browser window and put that on the external monitor, it makes about the same amount of sense.
the "news" page seems stale if i go there too often;
there are simply too many things i have seen before.

so i pretty much always look at the "newest" page,
and i might click two or three pages deep in that.

only occasionally do i click over to "news" to see
if there's anything solid there i might have missed.

truly, both pages have become a bit unsatisfactory,
since one changes too quickly, the other too rarely.

"...in this newly created position..."

I always love this corporate ploy bc we never know if they created this position to fit the candidates ego, or whether the company wanted this position to happen regardless of the person appointed to the role.

My guess would be it is the former, but it's kind of like commenting on bird migration patterns bc I don't know anything about bird migration patterns!

Surprised that it isn't on the list.
It should be noted that this is designed for huge production scenes, with lots of overrides of attributes down the SceneGraph and lots of referencing.

This is not a replacement for FBX or other object interchange formats - it's for entire scenes.

Most big VFX studios will already have their own version of this already in use. What's interesting is it's Pixar pushing this, who don't tend to work with other VFX studios on sharing assets and shots.
It's not political at all - if NSA has had viable attacks against RC4, doing little and not-carefully-scrutinized stuff like this to ensure it continues to be used widely would make a lot of sense.

I'd expect them to go so far as to attempt to stop publication of comparably-performant ciphers that could conceivably take its place. You'll recall the 1974 precedent involving IBM's independent discovery of differential cryptanalysis.

If there's one thing I'm even more vigilant about than distrusting the US government/military, it's not underestimating the lengths to which they will go to achieve their ends.

I guess too many people tried gaming it and they've locked it down. It was a good law exactly for the reason you describe, it sucks that it was abused into a state requiring shuttering.

I sympathize with being shut out by your parents, but I'm despondent over the very rapid change in the apparent expectation that parents are the only way to pay for college. Especially for a brilliant kid, going to college was not an impossible task.

My parents' contribution to my college was ~5k in a savings account and a beater after my first year so I could come home time to time.

I worked 30-40 hrs/wk to offset the loans I needed with a full-time course load. And it was a good school outside my home state, where I got in-state tuition but didn't qualify for a single other grant / scholarship.

For context, this was 2003-2008, I'm not talking about decades ago.

I'm sure the private / federal loan programs have shored up some because of the crisis, but I would be quite surprised if funding and education was really so impossible, or that it was impossible to work for a few years then go when you were 20.
Locks can be added, that's not an issue at this point. Thing is that doesn't seem really secure.
For a good take on this kind of thinking, I'd recommend reading Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's "Lucifer's Hammer" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer's_Hammer).

From the wikipedia page: "Some advanced technical knowledge was maintained by the means of the preservation of the book The Way Things Work, which had been wrapped in impermeable plastic and submerged in a septic tank prior to Hammerfall and later retrieved by a resourceful character who realized its potential value and likely scarcity in a post-Hammer world."

I found myself inspired by this book — now I often think about what I could build all by myself in a post-apocalyptic world.
By all accounts Estonia has been doing very well in cerent years, even though Berlin is available.
The point is - "All DOM manipulation belongs to a directive" but still it can be made application agnostic. What he is mentioning there is making it application agnostic - like for example not assuming in the directive that you have $scope.users on the $scope etc..
This article is barely about Russia at all. It's mainly about wealth! privilege! inequality!, which is a perennial favorite topic of the NYT.

You aren't expected to read this and thing "omfg, Russia is so bad". No one in the US is thinking this - all they are thinking is "omfg, if inequality keeps growing, the US will be like this". This is of course nonsense for various reasons (we don't have gypsies and therefore the bottom 50% will not adopt gypsy cultural indicators, and our inequality seems to be merely differing rates of positive growth).

Note that many of the Americans on this thread are posting about Detroit, Appalachia and even Oakland (!?!?).
I agree, Estonia is partly an exception. Not very well really, but at least it holds together.
Jokes aside, in Greece we have a HUGE market for Gyros (the Greek burger counterparts) delivery. But as of now, a guy comes to your door, so we can be in pajamas, working on your laptop, etc. I don't know how this drone could safely land in those narrow streets, but if it could oh boy, it would be disruptive.

What did the other mice do? Just sit around, doing nothing?

Maybe the official world's first drone delivery. We tested this service years ago but unfortunately the FCC regulations stopped us.

So the question "are we innovative enough to follow?" is somehow exaggerated. We could've asked the same question 4-5 years ago. The better question would be "When will the FCC adapt to innovation?"
Ditto for SS, I have no idea how well it compares to other programs but for the sense of progress (weight increases every time) it cannot be beaten.

Good if you have tried and then quit the gym before. I also recommend fitocracy.com (or any other sites of that ilk) to "game-ify" exercise a bit and keep you motivated.

I think one area where we may be losing the secrets is with vacuum tube amplifier behaviour and design. Electrical Engineering students no longer study it (for obvious reasons... its all been replaced with solid state) but it is still important in audio recording. Companies still make tube gear (like for example Universal Audio in California) but I have heard that it is becoming basically impossible to hire an electrical engineer with tube circuit design skills.

This is the first public release, to get feedback. They already stated (on their own blog) that an improvied admin panel, themes, plugins, etc. will come but it will take some time.

Also, we are talking ~37k lines of code, not exactly something you can write in a week or two for $500.

No, we are not "the chosen ones." We have the brains able to figure out more than other animals, but it was not predestined. And we are not the only ones "at the top of the evolution" either. Every animal you see is "at the top of the evolution" for its branch.

I know it's hard to believe for those who grew up in protestant environment with the false belief that "God gave us the Earth to use it as we will."
This has been absolutely true for me. Both lifting, olympic style compound lifts and cardio have made a measurable difference in my ability to concentrate and problem solve.

I've also measured a marked increase in retention when memorizing GRE words while jogging over memorizing them while sitting. That experiment inspired me to put together this website: http://rungre.com (shameless yet hopefully relevant plug)

My slightly different take:

* take Emacs Lisp language (one after CL) and byte code compiler
* take Emacs Lisp implementation with simple GC and byte code virtual machine
* remove macros, s-expression.
* add simple object system (much simpler than CLOS).
* add blocks, inspired by higher order functions.
* add methods found in Smalltalk.
* add functionality found in Perl (in OO way).

Yukihiro Matsumoto mentioned in some talk that the most Lisp he understood was some Emacs Lisp and that he studied the Emacs Lisp implementation.

Not that different from startups. It's not the first time startups make up titles to satisfy hires. Still, I don't think it's an ego thing. If all positions remained constant forever one could argue that that company is not thinking about change, innovation, etc.
I appreciate the elegance and power of CAD and computerized design, but I also worry that we're losing that hands-on approach... or in the words of Vernor Vinge: "No user-servicable parts inside" (Rainbows End)

I sure wish I'd taken more time to learn non-computerized fabrication from my grandfather. As a "fix it yourself" farmer, that man could build / repair damn near any mechanical apparatus. There's a lot of hard-won experience in those old artisans, so we shouldn't be so quick to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The more we can learn from the past, the better. Knowledge and skills aren't mutually exclusive.

The House GOP's Little Rule Change That Guaranteed A Shutdown
I'm not talking about passion in general, I'm talking about passion for the results of your work. Do you work solely to get rich, or do you work to create something that others will appreciate and benefit from? Do you have pride in your work beyond the effort you put in and renumeration you receive?

If you work solely to make a buck, "grinding" as describe in the article, then you don't give a damn about the results of your work beyond the dollars it puts in your pocket. And that's pretty much the definition of being amoral.

It's a very interesting move, Burberry has weathered well over the last decade.

Also food for thought, Burberry made large inroads into China and tailored a lot of their retail efforts around that. Maybe Apple thinks it's time to double down on their China strategy.
I've been reading HN regularly for the last few years and never seen this. I wouldn't be surprised if I've read popular things you haven't too, unless you're on here every second of every day.
Whilst being the CEO of a FTSE 100 company is very impressive, Angela is going to head up the retail division of the world's largest company.

I'd take a guess that if Apple Retail was a separate company from Apple, it'd still be worth more than the whole of Burberry.
No problem, we will certainly be introducing that functionality.

Oh, sorry, I completely agree with the last part about stagnant positions and the need to create new divisions/branches within companies.

The reason I used the word ego in this individual's case was bc this is technically a "demotion" in the title sense, and there seems to be a heavy amount of jockeying for titles within major companies (in my non-scientific experience). So my overall question was relating to what drove this newly created title.

And I think we can all agree that crafting a new title in a new startup is a lot different dynamic than doing it at a top-10 company in the world, like Apple.
Why Startups Should Listen to Rap Music
I like the name.

Here's a problem I quickly ran into. I browsed to companies. I clicked on the company Autotask. I was mostly checking out the design, but I noticed something curious. On the right it lists the location + google map.

What country is Autotask located in? No clue. All it says is "East Greenbush, Rensselaer" and the Google map is devoid of any further relevant information. I could guess it's an Australian company, but....

The site is sort of ok looking, but it seems very cookie-cutter. Kind of looks like a template site for bootstrap. Some more personality would be nice, something more unique to whatever image JobGPS is looking to broadcast.

I clicked the Navigate button on the home page without typing in anything, and it didn't do anything at all. It should do something, if just tell me to type something. I also typed in "guitarist" (to test it) and it rolled down an empty gray space; it should do something constructive instead upon entering non-useful text. I also tried entering text and hitting enter on my keyboard and it failed to do anything; it also wouldn't respond to the enter key upon selecting an actual degree properly.

The register and sign-in buttons in the top nav aren't very good. The text definitely shouldn't turn black against that background color.

This is a slightly OCD issue: the spacing in the top nav between "jobs | companies | register" drives me crazy (that jobs is so far apart from companies, compared to companies and register; whereas I think the sign up / sign in buttons should be separated more so from the main nav items; again, not a critical issue ;) ).

You are probably aware of the Rating Guide:

https://www.ssllabs.com/projects/rating-guide/

but would like to see scoring hints within the test itself?

The current scoring approach does not make that easy, which is the main reason why there are not more hints. I am planning a new version of the Rating Guide for next year, which will (most likely) be purely rule based, making it possible to explain the score in detail and, at the same time, point to the areas that need to be improved.

There's a also the problem with the static-HTML design approach can no longer withstand the amount of information presented.

In other words, it's time for v2, where we will apply what we've learned so far.

You can't talk to adults like that.

"You don't deserve to be here."

"I studied hard, I did extra curricular activities. I'm smart and I suffered for this. I earned it. When I want someone to look into my soul and spout BS about worthiness, I'll find a priest. In the meantime you've just lost any moral credit you had with me by pretending to know me. Good day."

Maybe it's true that other people deserve it more - I don't think too many people hold out with the idea that they're the most deserving people on the face of the planet though and wouldn't imagine that's what they mean by deserve. Indeed it's hard to see how performing community service would make you fulfil the latter definition.

It's an interesting thought. In just-in-time manufacturing, the contracts between supplier and consumer can already be onerous enough to make shipping parts by helicopter the Right Thing To Do if there's a delivery hold-up.
I would think one of the best way is to have a drone operator take control of the drone when it has reached it's delivery location, in order to ensure a safe delivery. This would require you to keep a drone operator at hand, but if you have multiple drones in air at the same time, it might pay off.
At first, this article struck a nerve and I found myself agreeing for a while.

On second thought, however, I think the author falls to the other extreme of that which he is criticizing. I'm all for critiquing the vacuous "You're special! you DESERVE to be here!"

But to instead turn around and say "No, you don't deserve to be here! So EARN it!" is to trade a meaningless vague happy feeling for crushing pressure which turns to either arrogance when you succeed or despair when you fail.

Instead of making "earning" / "deserving" something the central point, why not focus on taking that which was given to you at birth and in your upbringing and education (much of which you did not "earn" or "deserve") and making the most of it? Not with the goal of "deserving" something but rather because otherwise the good that was given would go to waste.
