Almost.... and Ember can mostly work with that last time I checked.

The missing piece is delegation though, i.e. you can't define a catch-all getter/setter and many Ember.*Proxy classes/mixins (e.g. http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.ObjectProxy.html) rely on that. Like most Ember Controllers are delegating data state to a model, and are supplementing app state/behaviors on top.

ES6 Object Proxies fixes that.

But I'm liking how fast the Ember team has been including ES6 transpilers into directly in to Ember App Kit. So we may be writing more regular JSy looking property dot notation, like Angular, soon enough. And get all the benefits of UAP.

But is anyone buying at $38K?
A few reasons:

1) It's from the Alpha set, the very first Magic Release. It's much rarer to find, since it wasn't as popular. http://www.mtgprice.com/sets/Alpha/Black_Lotus

2) It's graded a 9.5 out of 10 for it's condition. Practically perfect for an item that wasn't initially sought as a collectors item

3) The card itself is considered to be one of the Power 9, or some of the most powerful cards in the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Nine

Also, the card you linked is from the Unlimited set, which would be the 3rd printing of this card.
curious as to why you guys left Midje (I use clojure.test as well). What plugins/infrastructure were you missing?

A couple friends and I are building something similar. The idea is great but more importantly is how you will bring this to mass market. If you had this idea before send me an email, we are looking for a fourth set of hands or just some insight.
The single most helpful thing directors and leads of leads can do is to ensure the right people in a vertical organization know the right facts and strategies. Organizations that compartmentalize, play favorites, introduce political wrangling (over things like budget, popular projects, etc) are going to suffer. This is indisputable and also unavoidable, but by forcing information dissemination across the board the damages are easily mitigated. People are more flexible and resilient than most realize, and generally speaking the hive mind self-organizes to support the larger vision. Assuming there is a clear mission and vision, which is by no means guaranteed.
Also worth noting, one of the largest players in this space is Star City Games. I wouldn't be surprised if they spent a few million dollars per year buying cards from consumers. That doesn't count the money spend purchasing new product from the manufacturer.
The difference is that you can't really convince people to practice abstinence and monogamy. You can quite easily convince people to not use condoms. Failing to take this into account when you are in a position of authority is unethical at best. Spreading misinformation such as HIV being able to get through condoms is plain old evil.

>> I think it's necessary to recognize the difference between private-property (e.g land, industry etc) and possesions (e.g one's house, car etc.).

There are several sensible ways to define "property". One is that it's a representation of value that you want exclusive control over. This value can be in the form of an apple in your hand, or a factory under your control, even if it's a building.

The bottom line is, people produce value in order to benefit from it, and the "right" to control that value is required - otherwise people wouldn't produce anything.

But there's no need for a government here. As I said, everyone knows you can't just take someone else's stuff.

>> I'm familiar with the concept of natural rights and it's claim to be some kind of objective rights, but I think it's fairly obvious that such a fought over topic is not even close to being objective

Here's something objective: Treat others as you'd like them to treat you. This includes not taking control of their property, no matter what form it's in. Rights are just an idea, and "natural rights" are a version of it that aligns perfectly with The Golden Rule, and people's intuitive "common sense morality". Typically, your conscience tells you when you're doing something you shouldn't do.

Oh, and as for "objective", do you think a group of sociopaths ruling over everyone else is objective?
I totally love this... coding work is all about quality, to take quality high it is absolutely needed to also relax, recharge, exercise, experience new things to stimulate imagination.

In the last week in had to rewrite a big part of Redis (Sentinel) I worked more than usually, touching more than 1000 lines of code in 6 days. In order to accomplish this "programming sprint" I worked in a more intense way, not more hours. 8 hours every day is huge, if they are not enough, probably you are trashing most of the time reading/writing useless emails or reports, on way longer meetings, and so forth. Better to fix the root cause.

Here's some context from wikipedia for non MTG fans:

"Former Pro player and Magic writer Zvi Mowshowitz has declared Black Lotus as the best artifact of all time, claiming every deck in the history of the game is better with a Black Lotus in it.[7] As such, it has since been banned from all official tournament styles save for Vintage, but even there, it is limited to 1 copy per deck, compared to the normal allowance of 4.....Black Lotus card is usually considered to be the most valuable non-promotional Magic card ever printed."

Hey, I work at AmaGooBookSoft and I resent you calling out our poor security practices!
In this case, buying in general (not only in prostitution) should be banned altogether as the seller might be forced and you're saying that it can't be proven that the seller is not being forced to sell. That doesn't make sense and you know it. Of course it can be proven up to a reasonable doubt that the seller is not being forced. That is how society and the civilized world works, not by removing 100% doubt but by trust between its citizens.
It's a satirical response to the annoying "___ in ___ lines of JS!" trend.
Also in some area's there is a legal aspect due to law of some contract that makes sending somebody with a briefcase with data an easier way to move forward without triggering some technicality in contract or law.

Indeed some countries and there data protection laws make things most interesting in legal ways to transfer data, even today. No standard on data protection World Wide and in itself a minefield, let alone other industries like medical research companies or those dealing with country wide firewalls.

Fascinating read.

"[..] I had never been to California before, so I was discovering San
Francisco, my favorite city in the US and second-favorite city in the world.
[..]"

Out of curiosity does somebody know what is PG's first-favorite city in the
world?

"[..] It was also a massive validation of a thesis Steele had argued for his
Master's, which was that CPS was a great intermediate representation for a
compiler [..]"

What does CPS mean? Further down in the article

"[..] Richard Kelsey took his front end, which was a very aggressive CPS-based
optimiser, and extended it all the way down to the ground to produce a
complete, second compiler, which he called "TC" for the "Transformational
Compiler." His approach was simply to keep transforming the program from one
simple, CPS, lambda language to an even simpler one, until the language was so
simple it only had 16 variables... r1 through r15, at which time you could
just kill the lambdas and call it assembler. [..]"

So I guess CPS means Continuation-Passing-Style? But then I wonder what PG
means by "CPS was a great intermediate representation for a compiler"?

Even further down we can see PG's own opinion:

"[..] So the lineage of the CPS-as-compiler-IR thesis goes from Steele's
Rabbit compiler through T's Orbit to SML/NJ. At which point Sabry & Felleisen
at Rice published a series of very heavy-duty papers dumping on CPS as a
representation and proposing an alternate called A-Normal Form. ANF has been
the fashionable representation for about ten years now; CPS is out of favor.
This thread then sort of jumps tracks over to the CMU ML community, where it
picks up the important typed-intermediate-language track and heads to Cornell,
and Yale, but I'm not going to follow that now. However, just to tell you
where I am on this issue, I think the whole movement from CPS to ANF is a bad
idea (though Sabry & Felleisen's technical observations and math are as rock solid as one would expect from people of their caliber). [..]

Fascinating stuff, though I do not what IRs are used by the
modern compilers like LLVM, GHC, Java, .Net?

"[..] Jim Philbin, like Kelsey, also went to NEC, where he built an operating
system tuned for functional programming languages, STING (or perhaps it was
spelled "STNG" -- in any event it was pronounced "sting"). He built it in T,
of course, and one could see that it had its roots in his work on T3.
(Implementing the runtime for a functional language, in some sense, requires
you to implement a little virtual OS on top of the real, underlying OS.) [..]"
- Does anybody know what happened to this OS? The only link that I found is
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.11.4...

The summary of this article then goes to say "[..] Sting is currently a
prototype implemented on an eight processor Silicon Graphics PowerSeries 480
running Unix. The next step is to integrate Sting into the micro-kernel of an
operating system such as Mac [..]" - Would be interesting if this fruited in
some new works for VMs for functional languages.

Yes, it's mostly that. When I started reading around in preparation of living vegan, I was slightly surprised how well people can live from different diets. From almost pure meat-based, to pure plant-based, much fat, little fat, one meal a day, five meals a day, much carbs, few carbs...

It seems that the modern US-European food-style is one of the few diets which mixed and matched together stuff in a really bad way.

Great advice, thanks.

I'm not experienced enough in using Matlab, but I did see a seminar given by some of the engineers and they seemed to have given a lot of thought to optimising the software for large datasets.

> I've found that these days I try my best to avoid loading datasets into memory. This is second nature for people who work with 'big data', but it's an m.o. that takes some getting used to.

Yes, couldn't agree more. I'm still getting used to working this way.
It's not exactly a monopoly You can buy it from ANSI or BSI, as well. If you don't insist on the German language version (even then, the Austrians probably have another version).

Remember those C and C++ PDF standards, that ANSI sold for $18, later $30, despite the competition selling for two hundred or whatever?

But sure, it's not a really competitive market.

I don't think the article is concerned about manufacture, but about the rest of us. How can you as a consumer know the safety assurances a product has when it claims to conform to a given standard? If you can't read that standard... Maybe it isn't unreasonable to expect manufacturers pay a hundred euros for a standard (though I'd hate to), but it is unreasonable to expect the general public to do the same.

I hope I needn't explain why safety standards (as well as laws, regulations, and anything we rely on) should be open to public scrutiny.
I understand that links to webmd or mayoclinic are considered proof, but really, I don't trust them as anything other than a point to start googling (and googling shows everyone refers to them, and never to any primary source).

I haven't eaten meat or taken B12 supplement in over 20 years. According to those sources (unless they've updated in the last two years), I should be dead. (Well, maybe I am, but that's beside the point :) )

They state with the same level of authority things that have been proved without shadow of a doubt, and things which have been accepted hypothesis in the medical community but were never proved.

Yes, ketosis (by definition) means your body forms ketones. Yes, initially it changes body and breath odor, usually for the worse, and sometimes (rarely) also causes nausea (but so does kimchy or chutney if you start eating it as a main food).

CPS is short for continuation passing style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style).
I agree that the posters might be more successful in getting the source code from Foobar than Winamp, but I don't think it's a better move.

The post regarding Winamp closing has 892 points and 520 comments now, which I think it's the largest number of comments I've seen in a HN history - although it's probably not the overall largest, it's a clear sign that the Winamp brand is still incredibly valuable.

Compare that to Foobar2k. In that thread it was consistently rated as the best alternative, and yet how do the users see it? "Closed source, confusing at best, current authors come off a bit prickly".

Winamp is not just a media player - I'd argue that by now it's closer to an ideal. Getting the rights for that brand sounds to me like the best idea.

This is not a major problem for data science. We usually use numpy arrays (or scipy sparse arrays), which are memory efficient. There are also some other efficient data structures for python:

For preprocessing you can usually work on a line-by-line basis (e.g. don't keep the entire dataset in memory).

This is a bigger problem for web apps, imo. But there you usually just throw money (e.g. more servers) at the problem.
Ask HN: My first attempt at passive income. Where do I take it now?
I've just published a book (called PHP Beyond the Web) at

http://www.leanpub.com/php

I work (flexible) full-time at a Uni, which allows me to spend decent time with my three young children and act more as a primary carer than a part-time dad. I don't want to give this up, but extra money is always useful. I'm currently trying to generate some extra income in a (fairly) passive way, at least without giving time commitments to people. I've written this book as a first step, as it was something I could do in my own time and on my own schedule, and I'm now wondering where to take it next. I've considered consulting (which I've done in the past) linked to the book but that doesn't fit my aim of "in my own time and on my own schedule". Does HN have any ideas of where I can go from here?

I thought the MTG hype ended when I stopped playing in the 90s. It has taken a kind of revival in recent years due to popularity of online card games. With one coming from Blizzard next year, this buy could be worthwhile if you sell it again by the end of next year.

Most ethernet ports auto-detect these days so there isn't really much need for crossover cables any more.

I do understand, that most seemingly malicious intend has its roots in incompetence.

In an answer to German press-inquiries, LG states, that the feature will stay. The only thing, they will change is, that disabling the feature really disables it. They stated, that this was a bug. And I actually believe this. I did not allege, it was malicious intend.

My real argument was, that I am more then happy, to pay good money for a good TV. But that I see no reason, why I should have to pay with my data as well (not being informed on that by the way, when buying this TV) and with this feature being enabled by default.

Sidenote:
They told the German press, that the receiving server dropped the information, when the feature was disabled. They never told anyone, how the server should have been able to do that. As far, as I could see, the requests did not change, when deactivating that feature.
