Average vocabulary isn't going to require using that massive a set of 3-grams though. If we started with homophones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophone#English) that would seem to make a large difference; add in ability to easily get a definition (or list of synonyms) for words/phrases (like in Google Translate). Google suggest already does a lot of what is required.
I agree it was a bad day to email PTV, but in another article I read on it he was simply trying to find out some info on Myki (the current travel card). Unfortunately I can't find it though.

No one will be sending Bitcoins to Overstock.com. All of the Bitcoin payments will be processed through Coinbase.
Yes, but most people only do so for purchases where the website forces you to at the time of purchase (i.e. the company operates in your state).
I think that Reddit thread was interesting. The syntax is taken from Haskell, but someone brought up ditching precedence and only associating in one direction, which I guess is simpler than operator overloading(?)
> As for user-defined operators, if you mean something like Haskell's custom infix operators then no, I don't believe there are any plans for those.

Do the Rust designers actively oppose having them, or just not have any concrete plans to add them?
There's the additional benefit that nobody owns BitCoin, so every corporation that doesn't own a payment system can collectively back it as a standard.

Think the Internet, vs. all the proprietary networks at the same time (Microsoft, Compuserve...)
In general, investing energy in deceiving people would have a greater cost than landing one job vs another would have a benefit.
In the last thread comment he's created a Wiki article for the place including a couple of interesting links:

"Had Paul Graham mandated the use of AwareLabs for all graduates, their online presence would be much better and more consistent. This is the reason all incubators should be using standardized marketing tools like AwareLabs to outline a marketing curriculum and track progress."

That's the most passive-aggressive product pitch I've ever read.

The classification would be more meaningful, I think, if there was a good way to characterize certainty/degree.

In my case, I and T are both generally very strong, while N has been weaker.

The most interesting part is the J/P has gradually shifted. I used to test as a very strong J, but that has been changing and today I finally flipped and tested P.
I personally think the increased appetite from exercise more than cancels out the benefits to weight loss. I've also read that before but I don't know if there is a really good study to back it up. Don't get me wrong, I think there are a zillion good reasons to exercise but losing weight will never be one of them.
TrueVault does more and costs less than AWS. We also save you hundreds of dev hours.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires appropriate Administrative, Physical, and Technical Safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of protected health information (PHI).

AWS will sign a BAA, but they only cover the Physical Safeguards (e.g. facility access controls, etc.). TrueVault handles both the Technical and Physical Safeguards.

With AWS you still need to build your own HIPAA compliant application stack. The technical requirements include:
-encryption and decryption
-key management
-key rotation
-access control
-unique user identification
-emergency access
-automatic logoff
-audit controls
-mechanism to authenticate electronic PHI
-person or entity authentication
-transmission security
-integrity controls

The most urgent thing to do is to ask companies if they’d consider an H1B visa applicants, or international contracts and post that information for applicants to see. Taking the time to write applications to dozens of companies to receive a handful of “Sorry, when we meant skilled people, we obviously didn’t mean you.” is… well, not great.

There is a special level of WTF when you read for now several years in every business magazine that what you do is the most looked for skill-set, that they'll be millions like you needed, and having that conversation “It is so difficult to hire the right kind of people! I’ve tried that for months! — Couldn’t you argue that to get me a H1B? — Nah, it's too difficult: you have to put out an ad and wait three months.”

My point is: your brand can be associated to that kind of experience for 60% of your user-base, or try to avoid it.

Your response seems to come exclusively from your perspective, both as US-based and as an intermediary. Great products are made by walking in the shoes of every party involved.

One thing you could do too, as you have a list of candidates, is some instant feedback to employers on whether or not lobbying for a visa would make sense: just say how many candidates are available for each options, how expensive they are or, better, how the best candidates for each option rank in your game; when they might be available. That would require coding, and I appreciate you have limited ressources — but being open-source should let you hope for an interested party to do it for you. So I guess: congratulation on your strategy.
Cool. So this is essentially per marketplace? I've just launched simplegym.co that uses Balanced for handling payments. We currently are only doing around $10K/month in payments, but I believe it could grow into the discounted volume over the next few months.
It's possible that part of the confusion around some this is both what's meant by Libertarian in this context and whether we're talking about actual political affiliation or /cultural attitude./ First, I think if the article was more specific in naming the kind of Libertarianism involved (by this reading, Libertarian Socialism aka Voluntary Regional Collectivism, particularly of the 1960s America New Left inspired Libertarian Socialism) it would be helpful. Second, it seems like what's being referred to here is more about outlook and ethos vs actual voting patterns, especially if you don't dig very deep in terms of positions. You can "think commune and hate hierarchy" and still "vote Democrat" because of social issues; perhaps thought of as a kind of counterpart to the Republican "what's the matter with Kansas?" phenomenon (vote against your personal economic interest on the basis of cultural issues.)

That's my reading. Overall, I think the article was quite good (terminology and title aside.)

>Nothing to do with RES? Before RES you had to click on images.

I don't know anyone in 'real life' who uses RES, but many who use reddit. I expect it's less than 10% and maybe much less of readers.
30% of the population of North Dakota is of Norwegian ancestry. Not that it has anything to do with their economy. Just an interesting historical coincidence.
Even more interesting given that those two are among the rarest archetypes in the general population by some estimates: http://www.capt.org/mbti-assessment/estimated-frequencies.ht...

Also, no wonder we're all "judgmental".
I think one major difference is that programming languages are mostly imperative while mathematical statements are more declarative. When you're solving a mathematical equation, you are typically given a statement which you need to transform into another form. How you do that is less important than proving that the alternate form is valid given the equation. You declare the problem and the solution you want to solve for first, and there may be multiple ways to get there, you just need to show a valid way.
state is talking about something more like fully capturing a limited set of the features that are visible at some given scale.
Mutable state can be a huge time sink. It's why I'm putting more and more time into functional programming, since I think that Haskell (and Clojure) is closer to what programming in the future will be like.

I think many programmers don't respect how much complexity is reduced when state isn't leaking all over the place.

Of course there will always be times when you need state, but many times its worth jumping through a few hoops to make things work without state.

EDIT: If programmers learn C so they can think lower level, they should learn Haskell so they can think in terms of side effects, composability, and the advantages of pure functions. Just a reminder, pure functions can be created in any language though some (Clojure, Haskell) enforce purity.
What pitch would you have gone with?
... and minds of the human race.

Wow, you really have zero tolerance for things you don't like, don't you.

I've seen some very legitimate sources that show that this effect, while technically true, is irrelevant for fat loss in the real world due to increased appetite to build and maintain those muscles and the amount of passive calorie burning with more muscles is negligable.
Isn't that the case even today? Both the NYSE and Nasdaq are owned by private companies.
Very true. This is basic stuff, and we simply overlooked it. In the future, we might even need to add increased redundancy to our data, which we need to be aware of.
New in meteor - server side rendering. Also called, what the world looked like before thicker client libraries.

I feel like this is losing sight of the goal. And you wonder why its not on their roadmap.

For me, I feel like if you are adding server-side rendering to a meteor app, you are using meteor either incorrectly, or for the wrong use cases.

WxPython: Creating a Simple RSS Reader
I'm currently working on an my own open source version of Watson/Siri/Google Now. (It can answer "What is the capital of Brazil" Yay!).

As part of that I've been leaning as much as I can about how Watson actually works.

The most useful information can be found by Googling "Deep QA" which is what IBM has dubbed their question answering pipeline.

A slide deck like [2] is a good place to start if you are interested in this.

[1] Yeah, I know that is kind of a crazy thing to work on. It's actually even more stupid than you may think, because I want it make it self-hostable, with the ability to keep your own data separately to the rest of the application (ie, enforcing privacy).

Show HN: Fast English Editing - Editing for Non-native Speakers
They need to throw on more haystacks! That needle isn't going to find itself!
Doesn't that require an "import itertools"?
One tactic amongst several that might be part of a strategy:

Put it behind an open source router (using as open a router as possible, e.g. an older PC you can physically examine and whose BIOS you can flash).

Then use the laptop for a while on non-critical (but perhaps "interesting") activity and accounts, and monitor via your router whether it attempts to "phone home" or engage in other suspect communication.

----

Of course, log anything suspect, and if/when you determine something is going on, find a different and secure path via which to tell us about it!
On Windows, I use Scoop http://scoop.sh/ (vaguely similar to homebrew on OSX). There's a Rust package which will install all the dependencies for you. It hasn't been bumped to 0.9 yet, but I assume that'll happen soon.
Holy cow. I tried using the llvm library a year ago to do something similar, and found it very hard to use. I can't believe someone else did it, and was nice enough to do a detailed writeup on it!
I don't like the Idea that there are only 16 models of people.

Are you also upset that there are only 2 genders for people? I mean, who is Biology to pigeon-hole us like that?

Joking aside, it's just a loose classification.

P.S. If you spend some time among people, it becomes clear there really aren't a million different "types" of people.
From the consumer's end, we expect computers to produce accurate calculations almost always. If a calculator produced the wrong answer to a basic mathematical function we would throw it out.

Humans are error prone, even when doing things they know and are good at.

Artificial intelligence is marketed as being a machine that is as smart as a human, but somehow we infer that because AI is a machine it will not make human mistakes. Mistakes are what produces learning.

The question becomes, do we only release AI for public use when it is assigned to a narrow range of problems and trained to 99.9% accuracy? Or does a consumer just throw AI at unknown, or even non trainable, problems and we take the result with a grain of salt? (Non trainable being something like predicting the value of the S&P 500 in 24 months.)

Perhaps a new words will be formed to describe AI, its behavior, accuracy, and experience? For now there is a lot of "one size fits all" and "holy grail" seeking. Big companies with armies of sales people seem to prefer this.
Great point Adyus, I think that and the Snapchat Breach were two that nearly made this list. Physical security is one of the most overlooked parts of a security plan.

Hey HN, OP here. I'd really appreciate any general feedback on this. I also have a few specific questions which I'll leave as replies to this comment.
With sufficient test coverage, you can change one variable (Python 3 vs 2) and control for all others

The safest change to make is the smallest change possible, after all.

I haven't figured out the target audience. The two potential groups are non-native speakers living in English speaking countries and people living elsewhere who use English professionally. Which do you think has a more compelling potential?

The target use case is the next question. What will people want to edit? Important emails? Marketing copy? Documentation?

I'd guess that HN is mostly native English speakers in the US, but please leave a comment if you have any thoughts as to where I should focus the product or think of any cool use cases.

I'm a complete noob in this area, so any advice or links to resources is appreciated!

Concerning SEO, I found some related keywords ("online english editing", etc). Is it worth tweaking the copy to include them?

Should I buy traffic? If so, is Google the way to go or should I consider other search engines or ad networks?

Also, many of you have experience optimizing landing pages. Are there any easy wins that I'm missing?
Head of line blocking is when something ahead in the line blocks things behind it. If browsers choose to use connection limits, then that means that things ahead in the line and get to use the connections are blocking things behind in line which have to stay queued up waiting for the connections to free up. So yes, that's head of line blocking.

As for pipelining working great in those browsers, you should note that no major desktop browser uses pipelining. Firefox does not enable it by default. See the Firefox bug thread where it's explained why it's not on by default, and also identifying its head of line blocking issues: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264354#c30.

Microsoft did test pipelining. In their theoretical lab network, with ideal situations, they can match SPDY performance. But the sad reality is that real websites and networks don't match that. Please see http://www.guypo.com/technical/http-pipelining-not-so-fast-n.... And you have to ask yourself, if Microsoft really believed that result, why don't they enable pipelining in IE?

It's fascinating to me that you still seem to hold onto your claims that HTTP pipelining is feasible in real networks, even though IE, Firefox, and Chrome developers have all clearly tried and given up on it.
If you look closer at FastRender: it only renders a part of initial page on the server. Thick client is sent with some prepared data and continues all further operations as it was a regular Meteor app. I think it is a great thing to improve the initial page load time until we have more serious server-side rendering.
UberX Price Cut
The difference is that the GPL is designed with users in mind. The idea being that if you have the right to run code, you should have the right to modify that code.

I'm sure you've used software that has frustrated you, knowing full well that you could easily fix the problem, if only you had the source. I expect every programmer has had that thought at least once. That is what the GPL is designed to resolve.

The MIT license, on the other hand, grants no rights to the users.
I think using LLVM's native tool chain will end up being more feasible, fwiw.
Used to grow a pretty serious sysadmin-style or Linux beard like this. Then I got married, and my wife nixed beards.
If your goal is to have fast initial page loads and fast updates you probably need both server-side and client-side rendering.
Right, shadow.cat's approach to solving this was to talk to Barcelona's perl mongers group and get them to translate some introductory perl documentation; they eventually decided they'd prefer to take payment in books rather than money if memory serves, but the point basically is "your community should allow you to find enthusiatic and affordable translators with very little difficulty." I was, frankly, pleasantly amazed by how well it went for us.
Public Report on the Independent Assessment Process for Google, MS, and Yahoo
Box is HIPAA compliant, but:

Box is cloud backup for files on your computer.

TrueVault is an application backend that mobile apps and web apps are built on top of.

We have customers switching from Box to TrueVault because 1) our API is specifically designed to be called from a mobile/app rather than targeted for file backup use cases and 2) Box has a user based pricing that doesn't make sense if you are building an app rather than backing up files.
I don't believe that's true. The oplog is what powers replication, so it must record every operation altering your data.

It's stored in a capped collection, so it stays the same size on disk. If you limit your oplog to only 100MB and have a busy system, you may only store 1 minute worth of operations, but disk size won't be affected.

Though, with 100MB your ability to have a useful oplog may be affected and your replica set will likely be unable to replicate fast enough to keep secondaries in-sync.
Stakeholderism–The Wrong Road For Internet
Always pastebin it on reddit anonymously.

And if you care about users' private data being leaked, said users can always use the assassinaton market to dispose said sites' admin staff.

I'm dead serious on both point. I would love to see somebody die a violent death over such shit as exposing user data and then reporting white hat to the police without even securing the system in the first place.
For a personal project, sure, but if it's a work project that has to get to the goal line along with ten other things, right NOW!, then it's nice to have some drop-in libraries that "just work".
When a few individuals own all the land other individuals have to choose between selling themselves short for others' gain, or starving. The whole anti-authoritarian thing goes out the window when property laws need enforcement.

We had the same issue with our banking partners. Their pricing schemes are very opaque and we didn't know when we should approach them. We, and you, have better things to do than polling a bank/payments provider asking for discounts. The not knowing is part of the problem.
