I use adblock, but I try to disable it on sites that

A) have solid content that keeps me coming back.

B) Do not have ads that open new windows or popups when I do disable adblock.

I actually appreciate ads when they particularly useful and focused. 99% of the time this happens when an ad network is not used and the ads are provided by the content provider intentionally (jobs in my area on StackOverflow) or banner ads on small blogs where the vendor has most likely personally contacted the writer because the market is dead on. Ad networks have a close to 0% success rate on showing me things I actually want, so I tend to disable those unless I am just trying to support the content creator with a few cents of impression money.

Replying to myself, for future searchers:

First, the latest patched version can be found at https://github.com/geofft/redshift

You may need autoconf, automake, and gettext. I used homebrew. I also had to run

ln -s /usr/local/opt/gettext/bin/autopoint /usr/local/bin

to get the autopoint build-time dependency.

To get redshift to run at login, we'll use launchd. Save the following as ~/Library/LaunchAgents/redshift.plist (modify as needed if your binary and config files are elsewhere).

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>redshift</string>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true />
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/local/bin/redshift</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>-c ~/.config/redshift.conf</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>

then run

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/redshift.plist

You can use

launchctl list | grep redshift

to see that it's working. Thanks to http://developernotes.com/archive/2011/04/06/169.aspx

Diplomatic incidents are resolved diplomatically. Numerous spies/traitors/whistle-blowers/revolutionaries for numerous countries are now living normal lives across the world despite having being exposed.

Snowden has no chance of living in the US ever again, but that doesn't mean that he couldn't have a life elsewhere.

The fact that heads of government are now effectively gathering on Snowden's side improves his chances that one or another of them will approve asylum status for him, although it won't happen in a hurry.
Actually that's exactly the point of this project. I run a startup called CoinJar (the first VC-backed Bitcoin startup in Australia) and Bitbillpay consumes CoinJar Checkout API.

I will open source the project once it has gained some initial traction. But before that, I will probably write a few tutorial-like blog posts to demonstrate how to integrate the seamless and unbranded Bitcoin checkout solution into any online business.

But of course, Bitbillpay is actually easier and faster to use than POSTbillpay. For one thing, you don't have to enter your credit number, and you can automatically receive an email with the receipt. (Australia Post will ask you to "print out".)

It's OK, the silicon valley companies and other private sector institutions who have benefited so much from investment by the DoD and ARPA are ready to address any investment shortfall to the sciences, right?

I mean, investing in a startup that has a value proposition based on real scientific research is the same as investing in the research in the first place. Am I right?
Agree - I tire of the grammar used by techies and programmers which, even writing in their native language, sounds like one of a 2nd-year foreign immigrant. They cannot (or care not to) empathize with how a reader might interpret their words.

You are ignoring the medical researchers who advocate for a diet low in saturated fat, and ridiculously characterizing mainstream doctors as not caring about prevention, and perhaps even wanting to cause disease so that they can treat it.

I'm on the fence on saturated fat, but it is an issue that is being debated by people who on both sides want to discover the best diet for preventing disease and lengthening life.

This is an excellent idea for a graduate course; it could be more collaborative for bigger projects, or one-offs for smaller ones, dependent on the field and type of study, as you've mentioned.

I think students should get course credit for it, instead of adding another requirement for PhDs, just to keep them from taking longer than they already do...
Good documentation takes effort. I bet much of the docs are lousy because of laziness or poor priorities.

Apart from that, the question is not whether the documentation is good or bad, but whether it's better or worse than the one a non-programmer would write.

Finally, even apart from writing skills, programming teaches you how to comprehend what you're reading (docs), and how to solve problems.
Dear D. Marshall Lemcoe Jr.,

When I started high school I rebelled against by brick-and-mortar entrepreneur parents by going into tech and teaching myself how to code. I was volunteering at internet cafes, because my family considered computers expensive toys and I was making an average worker's monthly salary in a couple of days by coding after hours. Even my highly respected grandparents suggested I should go into a "reputable career instead".

That was 15 years ago. Since then my work has been used by millions of people and I have been able to amplify the impact of my time far beyond what I could have ever done with two hands and a brain in the same amount of time in a reputable profession.

"Coding" is no more a forced skill than learning how to write. It is a form of literacy. If you have it, you have choices and access to reach and change the world if you need to. Without it, you are limited to your location, means, and circumstances in what you can do with your time.

If you ever need a slap-in-your face moment 10 years from now, feel free to re-read your blog post.

All good PhDs are funded (if it isn't categorically don't go). Typically this is through advisor's grants, which are usually from the NSF. I'm an international student (originally from India) and I'm funded through my advisor's NSF grant (I think. I'm not 100% sure since I don't know the exact details and he also has some additional funding from other sources like DARPA that he could be using). You should take the fact that I don't really know where my funding comes from as a good sign that PhD funding is very stable.
I think it's more a matter of different beliefs arising from complicated, hard to interpret evidence. It's very comforting to believe in good guys and bad guys, but the real world of research is more complex than that.

European PhD students don't do as much research, or publish as much. They are not competitive with US PhD students for academic jobs in the US. This is not a function of their quality, but a function of how much time they've had. It's also more usual to do a postdoc in Europe for 1-2 years, at which point their publication list and resumé looks about the same as a 5-6 year graduating US PhD student.

Teaching kids to code isn't about turning them into future code monkeys. It's about exposing them to skills that will very likely be essential in the future.

I work at an investment bank. Believe it or not, there are executives there that have no idea how to use email. Their secretary prints every email out, reads them to them in their office and the executive then verbally dictates a response that will be typed out by the secretary. These executives honestly don't even know how to use the phones. They can get away with this because they're in their 60s and have four decades of experience.

Now imagine a 20 year old getting hired today and on his first day he discloses that he doesn't know how to use email and doesn't know how to use a phone. And worse - he has no interest in learning either. How long until he would be escorted out the door?

In the future, there will be fewer IT departments. Using commodities like CPU, disk and RAM will be as familiar to the common workforce as using electricity is today. There will be 60 year olds that don't know how to extract data from a database and group it, sort it and transfer it from one application to another. But you better not be a 20 year old in that situation.

Teach your kids to code. Not to be a code monkey - but so they can do whatever it is they choose to do in the future.

"Cultural revolution" is a basic component of Maoism (as in your culture changes drastically, as you attempt to remove the bourgeois.

"The Cultural Revolution" was a horrible play Mao instigated through the Gang of Four in order to maintain power and throw those that might take it from him into disarray.

Cultural Revolution was used as an excuse to justify "The cultural revolution", but they are not the same, and you don't need students to go around killing people in order to achieve a cultural revolution.
Ah, good catch. It's 5.1 that doesn't support it at all. I was working on a new feature last week, and it looked great on Firefox and Chrome (my main dev browsers), but both my boss and UX designer use Macbooks so when I asked them to check it out they both said it's broken. It was because I was working quickly and didn't put in all of the backward compatibility hacks yet. So, my memory was a bit fuzzy about which versions supported what, exactly.
This is a good example of "as wrong in the opposite direction." American families and secondary education should place more value on providing resources and encouraging computer science. For sure. But saying "teach kids to code" misses the mark just as much as "dont teach kids to code." It's a buzz phrase. And I love a good pivot into creating an MVP growth hack for lean movement, but the education of our students is too important. Lets have a more serious conversation
In Europe you typically need a masters degree before you start a PhD program. In the US you don't - you can think of it as a 2+3 type program where you spend the first couple of years taking classes (and getting your masters) and the next three doing your thesis.

I am happy to look at ads - if they are maintained and a hosted on the site serving them.

Far more than the intrusion into my awareness (and that's what I initially started resenting) I resent the cross-site tracking that is implicit with any hosted ad or third party ad provider.

If someone wants my attention, all they have to do is ask for it - themselves. Because while I'm willing to pay for my consumption with my attention to what is being sold, I am not willing to pay for it by sharing my browsing and viewing habits with third parties.

That's only true for PC games, where monitors did indeed produce blocky pixels. Arcade, console and early computer games that connected to TVs were designed to take advantage of the "deficiencies" of those screens to produce smoothed images, or the illusion of more colours than the systems were capable of, among other effects. So if you want to play those games as they were meant to be, you either output directly (without any upscaling or filters) to an old CRT TV, or you use those NTSC filters or shaders that most emulators have that try to mimic (to various degrees of success) the way an old TV displays images.
> Please don't put words in my mouth

Putting words in your mouth is typically claiming you said X. I am suggesting that you instead, SHOULD have said Y.

> I don't know why you think that a medical term is a "pseudo-science weasel word".

"Cloud" is a technical word in computing with a specific meaning. This does not stop tech marketers from using it to mean things it does not. "Toxic" and "toxins" are medical words that are abused to the point of being meaningless much like "cloud". You are calling something harmful (to your credit, you do not specify how harmful) without specifying a dosage. Water is toxic at certain levels. Words that give a strong impression one way or the other, but are broad and do not commit to specifics are weasel words.

> It's a lot less meaningless than the original statement "e-cigarettes are harmless", which is backed not by rigorous scientific research on e-cigarettes themselves, but rather (at best) on fairly questionable reasoning based on a misunderstanding of drug toxicology.

I agree that you are "more right" than the OP, however, "harmless" and "toxic" are both just as bad in the context where dosage is not specified. It would be misleading to say that asbestos is harmless, although pretty much accurate at small enough levels. It would also be technically accurate to say that most things are toxic at some sufficiently high level.

In a nutshell, this debate between you and the OP is useless without specifying the amount being consumed.
I found that "mentally" what worked for me was focusing on increasing fibre intake, rather than reducing sugar intake.

You bring up good points.

But the reason I've always had an issue with ads is much different: the only people who can afford ads in the right places are the ones who are already big. In other words, it is extremely unfair. The people who could really use an ad on a TV don't have money to afford it. It's a perverse kind of system that somehow we just accepted without every questioning it.

I always thought part of the reason was that students in the US basically spend 2 years in their undergraduate degree taking general courses. So US graduate students spend the first few years taking graduate courses rather jumping straight into research. There's lag. That's just my own speculation though.

I've been feeling somewhat more doubtful lately on the whole idea of compulsory education based on lists, tests, and lectures. Sorta in the same vein as that, I don't really see the point in "teaching kids to code". I fully support giving them all of the tools that they need to learn how to code, or to learn and do things in any other field they might be interested in. In the internet age, most of this is already online for free.

I am much more doubtful that there is any value in making kids sit in a programming class and write whatever programs the instructor tells them to in whatever language the class uses. I've had to sit through a few classes like that, and I don't think any of them have really taught me anything besides how to game the class grading system. I learned everything I know by going out and doing stuff on my own.
Pierre didn't die of cancer - he slipped off the sidewalk was run over by a carriage. Amazingly, he missed the horses, and the front wheels, but his head was smashed by one of the rear wheels; part of his skull wound up on Marie's dress, and the supposed story is that Marie never washed her dress - kept wearing it until her daughter Irene finally convinced her to burn it in a pyre.

The congenital inability of the alien creatures who grow into reporters to accurately quote subjects of their coverage has been known since long before anyone alive today was born.

In the hopefully-unlikely event I'm ever a target of reporters, there are absolutely no circumstances in which I would speak to them. I would, however, pass out cards with a single quote I would be pleased to see printed far and wide: "The press cannot be trusted."
I've been eating vegetarian and enjoying it. One thing I do is saute some veggies like onions, celery, garlic, jalapeno in some refined coconut oil, then add a can of drained and rinsed pinto beans and mash them up. It lasts a while, and you can put some hummus on a sprouted grain tortilla, then add some of the bean mixture and even some rice if you want, it's damn good. Especially if you grill the tortilla too.

I still eat meat sometimes, but it's just so much more expensive than a package or can of beans. Beans are really versatile.

Also, sometimes I'll make deviled eggs. Put eggs in pot of cool water and bring to boil. After eggs boil for about a minute, take off the heat, cover and let sit 10-15 mins. Afterwords, pour cold water or even water with ice to chill the eggs and stop them from cooking (this will give you bright, yellow centers instead of the yucky grey).

Then if you have like 4 eggs, you can add say a tbsp of sweet pickle relish, tbsp or less of mayo, tsp dijon mustard, tsp vinegar, and mash all that with the egg yolks. You can also use some finely chopped celery & onion if u want. Or u can always man up and add some cooked bacon. Pretty good stuff. protip- slice eggs lengthwise to obtain a more consistent cut through the yolk (the cavity depth in the white part of the eggs will be more consistent this way, which just makes it look better)
The transistor invention was privately funded.
I hate to say this, but I regret that I have but one upvote to give.

I can't believe the old "science isn't profitable" canard is being trotted out to full effect on HN. The fact of the matter is that science is imminently profitable, and this is so obviously true that it takes nothing short of a true believer in the benevolence of the government as the superior investment entity and the free market as bogeyman to believe otherwise.

I mean this isn't /r/politics, is it?

The desire for profit is the single largest driver of scientific and technological innovation, period. Yes, NASA and DARPA have created some amazing things, but what about the hundreds of billions which are spent by privately held entities' R&D departments every year? Does all of that research yield nothing of value? The pharmaceutical advances? The electronic advances? The advances in automobiles, computers, housing, information access, and, now, space travel, as well as virtually every other product on the planet - do those mean nothing?

Of course they do. Private funding for research constitutes the lions share of research funding, and that private research leads to the vast majority of scientific and technological advances around the world.

The line that science would not happen absent government funding is so demonstrably false that to even make such a claim is tantamount to shouting to the world that you are a first-class idiot.
The integration with OS reinstall works very well, and is pretty seamless from the user's perspective. I used to do two backups-- a local TM backup and a separate cloud backup, but I found it was actually easier to just use Automator to up mount my TM volume once a day, image it, and send that up to the cloud. When my TM volume failed last year, I just pulled the latest image and put it on a replacement drive, and I was back up and running.

TM has had a few problems, but by and large it is one of the quiet successes in OS X, and probably my favorite feature if the OS. Why Microsoft hasn't put something like it in Windows is baffling to me.
The express framework activates the view cache by default when configured for production, so both problems are actually the same.
