A plea to the site developers: on the "Suggest a Project" page, please expand the whitelist of allowed programming languages in the mandatory "Main language" field. It is currently impossible to suggest any project whose main language is, for example, D, Nimrod, or Rust.

I would suggest reusing Github's own master list of languages, as displayed in the "Other: Languages" dropdown on https://github.com/trending .

Stop smoking weed for a month. See if that increases your drive in some quantifiable sense (it probably will). If so, stop smoking as a daily habit. Save it for special social occasions and only on weekends.

After you've regulated your cannabis intake, try to get some exercise into your routine, in any way possible. The important part here is to FORM A HABIT and stick with it.

I find that for myself the easiest change was to start cycling to work instead of driving. After about two weeks it started feeling like the most natural thing in the world and now driving appears odd.

After your body is reasonably healthy, if you are still unmotivated then maybe it's time to make a major change to your routine. e.g. job, relationships, location, you probably know which one needs to change. If that change doesn't help rinse and repeat.

Another option is that you're suffering from mild depression, in that case consult with a psychiatrist. Some antidepressants work like magic in matter of days.

I'm really glad that this was written, and even more glad to see it getting some attention on HackerNews.

By definition, most of us on this site live our lives by technology. Especially as engineers, it's easy to get caught up in thinking about the tools we use, how to use them better, how to use them faster, and how to use the more. Just as important, however, is the ability to step back and think about when we should be using these tools, and how.

Technology is an incredibly powerful tool, but it's simply that. A violin is not music; it is simply a medium (literally) that a musician uses to create music.

It's all too easy to confuse the technique with the goal.
I think it's a great point. You've just demonstrated very eloquently how people with guns and monopoly on power simply don't give a shit about anybody else who tends to disagree with them.
Installing a custom rom like Cyanogenmod or AOKP would likely solve a lot of your problems. Both are available for your device and require little more work than establishing root, installing safe strap (or another recovery depending on whether your bootloader is locked or not), and then installing the rom. You'll still need to download and install the Google Apps package if you want access to the app store, but it cuts down on a lot of the bloat and adds a lot of useful features.
Let me see if I got this right... If the allegations are indeed true, this "part-time model" believes that fake pictures of herself posted on match.com have resulted in $1.5b of damage to her career?

Not only that, but I don't believe there ever was a pure communist state, only the intermediate stage experiments that ended up cruel dictatorships. The only way we'd ever get one is with the help of a Portal-like AI to distribute wealth and plan the economy.
> the wealth people create is at least to a very large part a function of good fortune

Massive-scale wealth is created by the labor of others, and you become massively wealthy by figuring out how to keep more of the wealth than the laborers keep.

No one creates a billion dollars on their own. The "good fortune" is merely finding yourself in that position; the wealth was created by collaboration, on purpose.

There is a saying: first make it work, then make it work fast. The problem with doing the second in imperative languages is that you need to pull all your working code apart and rewrite it. Haskell separates the "make it work" from the "make it work fast".

"Why do professional athletes make so much money when...?" is the wrong question to ask.

I would start with Yelp and Open Table. There must be conferences that restauranteurs attend. People who either sell food (farmers markets, organic specialty sellers), restaurant supplies, or POS systems would probably appeal to restauranteurs as well so perhaps go talk to them.

You could probably start by just dropping by a number of them during the day when they're not as busy (i.e. after lunch). If they like what you're building I bet they could point you in the right direction towards other restauranteurs.

Good luck!
Except that no one actually thinks about that stuff when writing actual vector code. Trust me, I have written several real time 3D reconstruction algorithms (such as SLAM) in Haskell and was not thinking about stream fusion at all.

Does the average HN reader get vaccinations? How about for their children? I'm interested in peoples' critical thought, since we as a loose community often take an investigative/contrarian approach to assumed best practices. It seems many of us are acutely aware of herd mentality, collusion and corruption when it comes to the combination of tech subjects, the media and government/societal norms.

Personally, I am for vaccination. I'm way over vaccinated due to trips to third world countries -- sometimes I would get 6 shots over 2 days. However the spacing for vaccinations in infants seems rushed, and the ingredients are something I wouldn't let my kid touch or eat. (kind of like how you wouldn't feed your kid honey until after they're one) I recently told our doctor we wanted an ingredient list of the vaccines they were planning to administer, so we could attempt to understand, before following their schedule in ignorance. I definitely don't want my kid to have the diseases our grand parents grew up with, and that means vaccinating.

I'm wondering if a doctor would balk at signing a document of liability for {x} resulting from vaccination. If she wouldn't put her career behind her belief, should I believe her?

Does herd immunity require herd mentality? Can one investigate, or at least try to be diligent without being vilified?

I'd suggest starting by jotting down some pros and cons of teaming up with them. What do they bring to the table? What are the holes in their business plan? Is there a complementary fit with your skills? What is the "pain" they are addressing with their proposed product? Do they know the right people in this industry? What are the prospects for a successful exit (e.g., via acquisition by Garmin)? What if that acquisition requires you to join that company for several years?

> totally naive C implementation to an optimised Haskell one either.

Haskell version is totally naïve. That's the point.
Infrastructure is very complicated.

Typically if you have a guy build a road and you let that guy control the pricing, he charges a lot because he has a monopoly. That transfers wealth to the road builder at the expense of all the would-be businessmen who would build institutions that use the road.

So societies use governments to control a relationship between the manager of the road and the people that use the road. The price to use the road dips because of the enhanced bargaining power of the people that use the road through the institution of government. Typically governments even subsidize the unit cost of using the road by paying the road manager directly up front, because the corresponding increase in business is worth it across a society.

I think that if you have a system that focuses on individuals and their relationships to roads and road builders without regulation by a large third party that represents all members of the society, you'll get a situation where the road builder uses the monopoly power to price road usage so highly that business investment is hampered. Usually people use government institutions to manage this sort of thing, and usually it works pretty good.

I think this is pretty basic stuff, no?

I've been trying to say the same thing as the OP for a while now, but often when I do, I tend to get branded a "Luddite" or even get told to "stop reaping the benefits of technology".

It's funny how you get called a Luddite by people who don't see anything past the shiny user interface.
Author here. OriDomi actually does granular feature tests and has no awareness of what particular browser you're using. While the recent versions of IE do support CSS 3D transforms to a degree, they omit support for the "preserve-3d" transform style which allows the transformations of parent elements to affect their children. Without it, the visual tricks OriDomi does don't work, so the library will disable itself if it finds the client lacks support. Whenever IE begins to support "preserve-3d", OriDomi should start working without modification.
Funny how his timing works...

I am not too familiar with the American legislative process. Why is it that only Boehner can put a bill for voting? It sounds like it would be an unnecessary obstacle.
Here's a problem: I'm looking for a phone that can do T-Mobile wifi calling, which means I need a T-Mobile phone and a T-Mobile ROM, and I'm struggling to find a T-Mobile phone that has the least amount of crapware on it. If you use T-Mobile wifi calling, you can't flash a new ROM.
I'm a bit extreme, but I don't own a smartphone, I never have owned a smartphone, and I never plan to own a smartphone. I already know what it will do to my brain, because I spend all day at my computer, and it's a constant struggle to not waste time on the Internet. (Most of my best work has been done on pen and paper while taking a walk.)

Even when I'm not working, I like being disconnected. It gives me a chance to reflect on my life. Where I am, where I want to be. Ideas I have. I find it difficult to produce anything of value to myself or others when I am too busy consuming stuff through my screens.

I think the worst part of smartphones are the cameras. I had an epiphany one day at some aquarium in NJ. The aquarium was mediocre, certainly nothing worth taking pictures of. But yet every group of people had to take videos of the fish, had to pose with the fish with their friends, etc (who knows why, those people will never view those videos ever).

Of course all of this picture taking took so long that people got bored. Why not, they couldn't see the fish, after all. So of course, everyone got on their phones and goofed off, which made the crowds even MORE sluggish, which made the whole affair take longer, and which made the aquarium experience even more boring.

I think that if phones were banned at the aquarium people would have gotten in and out more quickly, seen more fish, and had more fun. It's ironic that the smartphone--which is supposed to be whiz-bang-wow-entertainment-whenever-you-need-it--contributed heavily to making the aquarium experience boring for everyone.

Sorry to ramble! This issue means a lot to me. For a funnier presentation of what I just said, check out Louis CK's standup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd2sRC3K9Hs).
I like static typing, but do you ever get the feeling that we've collectively gone off the deep end with the whole backwards compatibility hacks that compile-to-javascript languages represent? Think about it...we have implementations of static languages on top of a dynamic runtime that translates it back to a static runtime. We have non-GC languages that have developed ways to compile to a GC language and avoid GC. It is absolutely amazing, and completely silly at the same time.
This language looks very very interesting. Expressive and efficient languages are hard to come by. I really like the name too.
Ha, once Google Glass goes mainstream no one will be pulling out phones, they can stare blankly at you and read whatever they want.

Seriously, there's a middle ground with everything, too much TV, on the laptop, playing video games. Individuals need to evaluate their own life and valuable interactions. At least the guy in the video made the hike instead of getting a virtual tour.
But do you often find people around you checking their phones while in the middle of doing something else? It seems to me that people mostly use smartphones to kill time, when they're not doing anything else; on public transport or while waiting for something, that is, just the sorts of times you'ld see people reading the newspaper.
Good article, but there seems to be a current trend towards being either a full-time tech-head or a neo-luddite who rejects technology. I'd argue it's possible to be both. I have to be (and actually rather enjoy) being 100% plugged in for my job - yet I also enjoy powering down all my tech and spending dedicated time with my family with no devices online.

I think we sometimes forget that we're allowed to do them both - but sometimes the balance gets skewed. Plug in if you want to, but when you unplug, unplug completely. It's bliss.
How is this an inverted classroom if the MOOCs don't have a component where students come in after each class and take a test showing they've mastered the lesson's material? If they don't pass then they have to get remedial correction 1 on 1. Just like in a regular class.

That's what motivates them and pushes them to work. After all habits are hard to form and break. Wanting to learn is not enough, putting in a regular effort to do so is a habit that needs to be coached. That's one of the main jobs of educators for under-motivated students (read: most no grad students). And sorely missing from Udacity.

CONCLUSION: Udacity's "experiment" blatantly omitted a crucial hidden variable.
Oh I would totally do that if it didn't void the warranty. Employer pays for the phone. In retrospect, an iPhone may have been less annoying.

I felt so blessed running Linux on my Thinkpad while all the other civilians got their Windows laden HP laptops from BestBuy, loaded with boatware, and by virtue of being a Windows box, susceptible to Ask-toolbars in IE and other half-legal and fully-illegal software. Hell, I am sure I am not the only one who is doing semi annual spyware removal exorcisms for family and friends PCs.

But now I feel like the sucker, having bought this S4 from AT&T. Maybe I should just allow Samsung MusicHub to connect to Facebook so I can see what it wants to do, probably virally market itself to all my friends.

Good luck Jolla!
Since uncapped 3G is pretty common where I live, I've always thought to build something similar but without never finding the time to do it. This will also be great for load balancing my network the next time I gather to play some online-games with my friends.

Any idea will the proxy still be available if one of the connections drops? Like if my broadband cuts out (like it does on a daily basis) will the cellular data automatically take over?
> Next time you’re in a restaurant with friends, have everyone put their phones stacked and face down in the center of the table. If anyone takes their phone off of the stack during the meal, they have to pay everyone else’s bill. It’s a fun way to make sure everyone is off their phone without seeming like an imposing ass.

If what keeps people from checking their phone is the threat of having to foot an expensive bill, it's not so much a society of phone zombies, but a society of people with no self control.

Poor people don't create jobs. Giving money away to poor people so they spend it 'to create jobs' makes the money worth less, makes the people less willing to work, and it still doesn't create jobs.
I've already decided looking at 4.4 that I will do as much as possible to avoid Android for my next phone. I am interested in Jolla, but not as convinced about them being truly open as Mozilla is etc, they need to convince me better of their real motives and philosophy. Google have become very clear, now that they have decided to close almost everything on Android, no more SMS app, Google Now baked into the launcher, everything is G+ now, gallery app is on deathwatch. I feel like a peasant to Google, while they battle with the OEMs, Samsung, carriers, social networks etc they simply force feed their services down users throats, there is little point having an Android phone if you do not want to live 100% Google. Google are acting as feudal lords, they command us the peasants to do their bidding. Well I am moving out, I left iOS for a reason, I want my freedom.

Kotlin seems like a lightly stripped down Scala.
I think it's very mature to respect users like you do and don't experiment on them with new pricing/structuring ideas. That's one thing I don't like about Google - they keep reinventing their services (basic consumer stuff like gmail, youtube) and they put all those irritating notifications about it (some of which require actions/decisions), which are a cognitive burden.
I can't imagine any doctor would sign any type of document for liability. There is a special court that has heard vaccine injury claims (http://www.nvic.org/injury-compensation.aspx) for almost 30 years in the US, so expecting an individual doctor to be held to a standard of liability that could be perceived as above the
liability for the vaccine manufacturer is probably unlikely.
He's probably referring to marijuana, and there's numerous studies that would both support and contradict that notion.

Anything consumed in excess can be harmful in the short-term and long-term, including food, water, or oxygen.
"Never pull out your phone unless you politely excuse yourself from the people you are with."

Among people I know, that is the standard practice; it's not something I've ever heard anyone advocate, it's just what everyone does. I'm intrigued as to what context you (and, by the looks of the comments here, lots of other HN posters) are in where people just break off in the middle of social interactions to mess about with their phones. That's such a basic violation of (what I take to be) standard interpersonal norms I have trouble imagining anyone doing it.
