Not entirely.

They've completely hosed up existing data.

Took me 2 weeks to get in, finally got in. Application created for my wife and I. System broke. Logged in a couple days later. My wife's data is gone. No ability to add it back in. No ability to delete current application. No ability to start a new application. It's a mess.

Registering and using vastly different. Given that it took them years to get this far, I don't have a whole lot of hope that this will be usable for everyone, with data problems sorted, by March. Possible, but not likely. Especially because the attitude of "hey, just go somewhere else to buy" is so quick to be used. If that's really the case, why did we bother to even put this together, if it's not at all necessary or required?

There's going to be massive loads of hidden bugs that will plague this for months, if not years. Having such a tight deadline on it is crazy because it's not at all how any large insurance agency works, nor is it how the federal government works.
Parallel computing, at least based on the MPI paradigm, isn't benign.

Once the DoD got the state of the art up to the point where they could get enough workers for Los Alamos and Sandia labs they didn't want to subsidize educating people from India and China in the techniques used to simulate nuclear weapons.

As for other fields I think it's an issue of fashion and a zero sum game.
That would be nice and it's doable. I like eMMC for microcontroller apps since it implements wear leveling and bad block management internally. Adding a simple key-value mapping could probably be added without too much effort.

eMMC isn't meant to be removable, though.

I think it's just a matter of perspective and whether they are used to the tech, but I can see this technology being deployed in 10-20 years time, by that time older people that don't trust tech will still not drive a car or use a computer, those that wants to own a car would still owns a car, but I bet the majority will hop on this new revenue of personal, car sharing system.
Why does tenure lock you down? I'm not aware of this being the case in Europe.

I understand that tenure positions are hard to reach, but if you are providing value (whether that's through skill in research or education or pure 'prestige') - other universities should still want to employ you?

The only sense in which you are locked down is that you have a nice guaranteed job and a lifestyle that is no longer competitive with other opportunities - this is not something reasonable to complain about.
It would probably reduce the number of SUV's on the road, but not by a great number. In the Midwest, your SUV is your lifeline during Winter.

Ask YC/PG: Dilution and Convertible Note
1. What are the terms, if any, relating to YC's potential dilution of ownership? (Specifically, is the 2-10% ownership from the initial investment protected by an anti-dilution provision)

2. Relating to the Convertible Note, do the founders sign a personal guarantee or are they protected from personal liability?
Unfortunately that does not mean that those who are not college educated are better educated.
My personal favorite is Mike Butterick's Practical Typography. He's a programmer, typographer, and lawyer and the book is entirely web based. They're static pages generated by code he wrote in Racket, a language in the Lisp family.

For a quick introduction check out a small section of the book: Typography in Ten Minutes http://practicaltypography.com/typography-in-ten-minutes.htm...

I am 99% certain that the software engineers involved--that is, the ones who did the actual development of the software--had almost no say in the process that created this debacle, and were almost certainly powerless in steering the project's direction.

To take something from the article as an example, the QSSI executive's hedge about security not being part of his contract illustrates one of the real problems with our government contracting system. The sad fact is that it is more likely to have technologically illiterate "Business Analyst" and (cost-conscious) "Project Management" types making critical technology-related decisions about the scope of a project and contents of contracts than people who are technology-savvy, such as software or systems engineers, even if said people have some input.

A companion problem to this is the nature of government contracting. The QSSI guy is just doing what contractors do: they fulfill the letter of the contract (sometimes completely, sometimes by handwaving) and then when the government complains that the product doesn't work the way they wanted the contractor wins an extension or a follow-on (paid) contract to do the "additional" work.

It works like this for a reason. The "Analyst" ass-clowns in the government get better job security, because they're overseeing a project that can have its duration extended almost indefinitely. The contractor owners get to reap huge contracting windfalls. The lobbyists for the contractors who continue to bilk the government continue to get paid, and the Congressmen who the contractors buy, er, provide donations and campaign support for continue to hold their seats of power.

Look it like this: from their perspective, badly run projects that don't actually accomplish what they need to are a feature of government contracting, not a bug or problem to be solved.
Exactly! Windows is a dying beast.
He seems to be implying that, from his past experiences, a certain degree of mesh between their relative financial security and personal aspirations is a prerequisite for lasting "enjoys each other's company".

You may as well ask why he would not marry somebody he is not physically attracted to.
My opinion is that anything that the government funds should be open source. Patents that come from government funded research, software projects, electronic voting, should all be open source. If we, the people, paid for it, we should be able to have access to it.
Cloudant is a hosted, managed, distributed database as a service. We're based on CouchDB, but then added clustering, then full-text search, and -- coming soon -- geo-indexing :D

BigCouch, and the clustering abilities that we're merging back into CouchDB, are open-source artifacts of the work we do on the core product. The open-source community gave us so much, and we love giving back :D
Hence why I said it was so great. My point was that windows is dying as a server OS, though I'm sure enterprise will keep it kicking for several decades

Ask HN: As a programmer, what would you be looking for in a HTML & CSS book?
Hi

I'm starting to write an e-book about HTML & CSS. My intent is to target complete beginners and graphic designers, but also developers who are mostly familiar with back-end technologies (object-oriented programming, server configuration, database manipulation...).

If you are such a developer looking to better understand how the front-end works, what exactly would you be willing to learn? Or what is something about CSS that your mind just can't grasp?
The article is pretty spot on, and I've noticed many of the same things throughout my early-mid 20's (late 20's now). Many of the women who couldn't be bothered with someone like me (not bad looking, pretty good shape, tall, but not 'alpha' enough) when I was 20-25, now throw themselves at me, especially when they realize I'm married (got married at 27).

And to add to this, why are so many guys douchebags? Because we've been treated like shit by women from our teenage years, and now know we have the upper hand.

Of course, I'm not like that (probably would be if I was single), my wife is very sweet and very pretty, and I'm glad to be out of the dating game.
Honestly, I am fine with any IPS display.

I also have taken the somewhat crazy looking step of getting some "prescription" (I have 20/20 vision normally.) glasses made with some light magnification +0.5 to +1.0 and are tinted 40% yellow. That way you don't have to mess with your monitor's color calibration, and it will filter the blues from any outside lighting as well. Also, it's pretty cheap, as you can order them for <$40 from most online eyewear places.
Try this mental test the next time you see a very short, slim, but quite good looking guy. Now imagine him in a 6'3" athletic build. It drastically changes the appeal this guy has. This was told to me by a woman friend, and it happens everytime I think about it.
If you're successful, smart, a good person (or much more important: not a jerk), you can find a good person and have a relationship, a meaningful, lasting one. But if you base your romantic success in how easily you get dates/get laid compared to taller, broad shouldered athletic guys, then you'll probably end up frustrated.

Some things like management principles, accounting, and others could be better learned in a short course instead of learning the hard way. In a struggling startup, a mistake like that could mean success or failure.

The eye is a creature of habit. Bad typography helps people read your copy, while bad typography prevents them from doing so. This is it.

Here's a good example. Why are headlines in all caps hard to read? Because they have no ascenders or descenders to help you read words and thus you have to read the headline letter by letter. You should never superimpose your headline on an image because that makes it hard to read.
From the official rules: "Participants may begin forming their teams and working on their entry...as early as October 25, 2013."

Otherwise it seems some open source script could do this very easily and free.
What you're really saying is that typefaces are not meaningless, but using the right one for the job is simply part of good visual design.
You're hitting on a fundamental truth here: dating's crappy power dynamics actively chips away at our very humanity. We're to be content with these cheap proxies and massive game-playing, because, well, sorry, everyone else has bought in too. This is most closely evidenced by proponents of every creepy dating mindset: "it must be true, because this is what animals do!"

Maybe this is the fallout of mass consumerism, and a lifetime of being told that you can have it all. Dating sites pander to this too, by implicitly advertising love as just a mere SQL query away:

SELECT * FROM candidates WHERE gender = 'm' AND salary > 150000 AND height > 72

SELECT * FROM candidates WHERE gender = 'f' AND age < 27 AND looks > 9.8

I've always thought a dating site that was less search-y and more experiential (aka requires time to actually meet people) could be a profitable niche. You meet people first, then get access to look at their profiles.

As for expectations, I love what my pastor said: "you probably don't deserve the person you think you deserve."

I'm both a frontend and backend developer, and I love knockout.js. I want to reply to some of the issues you brought up, not just for you but for others as well.

1) the pendulum is currently swinging backwards from the "no logic in the HTML" and is heading towards the "all logic in the HTML". Knockout, angular and ember all use declarative bindings, which is the complete opposite to what jQuery code was like. I think it is a good idea, as it makes it easy to understand how a dom element is supposed to behave. But the pendulum will probably swing back in the other direction again in a few years, and somewhere in the middle is likely the optimum.

2) fromJS and fromJSON are dangerous and should be avoided. It might be more work to manually write things out field by field, but it makes things a lot easier to debug and understand later on (just like data-bind makes interactive dom easier to understand than jQuery magic). Easy to write does not equal easy to read or maintain.

3) jQuery should be forbidden in a knockout.js project, except (maybe) inside custom bindings. This does make some things which are easy with pure javascript difficult, and that is unfortunate. I still haven't found a good solution to this.

4) shameless plug: I'm working on a framework which solves this, called ordnungJS (http://ordnungJS.com) it is not well documented yet, but I have used it in production code and it works well. I'll improve the documentation when it reaches a more stable version, and write a short tutorial on how to use it.

It's big enough that you can have pretty different experiences in different kinds of articles. I mostly write history stuff, and my experiences there are pretty good. People seem to appreciate new articles on stuff like a Greek archaeological site, a 19th-century politician, etc., or expansions to existing articles, as long as the information has references. [Actually that's my own theory for part of the decline: around 2007 it became much more necessary to include citations for your additions, which raises the barrier to entry.]

In history articles, things mostly get contentious around subjects that seem inherently contentious for non-Wikipedia-related reasons. The archives of the talk page for "Armenian Genocide" are rather extensive and not always cordial, because people have very different ideas about what should go in it, some of them strongly held. But it's at least converged on a decent article imo.

When there aren't the same passions around the historical disputes, I've found the environment pretty supportive. I worked on a biography of an ancient Roman politician where there was quite a bit of inconsistency between what different classicists had written about him, but the discussion was just trying to figure out how we should deal with that in the article, and where the mainstream historical consensus lay (if anywhere), not hugely partisan or anything.
Turned down two potential partners whose company I enjoyed immensely because the first one (ivy league degrees, spoke 4 languages, virtuoso musician) could not hold a job for more than a couple months and had zero life-savings and the second one (beautiful, charming, popular) turned out to be a narcissist that was over $1M in the hole due to the housing crash. Both had expensive tastes despite this.

So yes, if I found out the receptionist was falling ever deeper into debt and/or wasn't doing something on her own to rise above the seemingly unstoppable ongoing wealth redistribution to the top 5%, I would not marry her. OTOH if I found out she was a diamond in the rough like I alluded to above, I wouldn't let her out of my sight.

Fights over money are marriage-killers. And to quote Faye Valentine: "Beautiful skin can only be maintained by tireless efforts which are ultimately totally futile." So what's in it for me in this case other than transient enjoyment followed by a lifetime of sorrow?
Review what your failure has taught you and focus on trying again.

Right. A solution is for the government to develop a series of security standards that cover a wide range of IT projects, and each project should declare that "implementation must conform to Security Level X, Category Y"
Then spend a lot of time together.
I am compelled to agree with this. In my opinion, many people take the easy route of claiming to support this or that ideal yet do not take the necessary time and introspection to ensure that the reality of their actions backs up that claim. This would seem to explain the often huge gap between what society claims they tolerate and support compared to the pressures and expectations people experience day-to-day.

The entire process is tough. Once you leave tenure at one university for another, you must go through that entire process again. And if ONE faculty member does not like you for some bizarre reason or another, you will not gain tenure. That's why most professors, or any sane person, wouldn't opt to do it all over again unless they are highly sought after.

For example, I'm pretty sure Terry Tao, math professor extraordinaire, would have NO problems moving around to any university and gaining tenure. However, the average Joe schmoe Ph.D. may not have the desired qualities to do that so easily.
Actually you could implement it rather easily using a wildcard cert and a CA provider that provides unlimited signings (like DigiCert). The user goes to "https://myuser.whatever.com", and you use SNI to select the private key.

It might be a pain to manage, and you'd need to get your wildcard cert resigned for each private key, but that's just logistics.
Boycotting only works effectively in a free society. If someone taxes your by force, and hands some of that money to these companies, then short of becoming an elected member of government, you can't do anything about it.
And if you go beyond the contract, and stuff doesn't work, you get blamed and have to eat the cost of fixing it.
agreed

the other thing, I think alot of these things gloss over what really constitutes 'winning',

with the divorce rate being what it is, simply having a wedding ceremony is a crappy accounting of victory

I think its sexist to portray men as dumb sex-starved creatures and only the feminine mystique of women can lead to fulfilling relationships.

I hate the political correctness that is popular today. Essentially, men and boys are punching bags to the feminist activists and attitudes like yours aren't helping.

One thing to consider is that it appears that we already have more graduates than professional careers. If we assume that all college graduate men and women are perfectly equal in the workplace, then the larger group of women will be more likely to find themselves without a professional career due to lack of opportunity, and thus will have a lower average income.
I'm sorry you interpreted it that way. It wasn't a disaster and internally the general consensus was that it was a great success. I've made some amendments to my post to provide some more context to our initial process change.

Set your DNS records TTL to something relatively small like an hour.

If you are hit with a DDOS and want to direct traffic through a DDOS mitigation service you will often need to point your domain at their servers. If your DNS TTL is 48 hours then you will be up a creek for quite a while.
