"water has ONE boiling temperature – 100 Celcius"

Well, if you are at sea level, that is.
Cacti serves a very different purpose, IMO. Up/down monitoring is not a core feature and, honestly, it's not that good at it.
Linux and OSS is still exceptionally popular and well funded. FreeBSD might be a temporary exception. Their funding issues are certainly giving them lots of free press though.
Did you read the last batch of erratas?
No way. Programmers are on the wrong side of the suit/geek divide, which is something like the blood-brain barrier.
Welcome to Hacker News, ummmmmmmmmm. Congratulations on making your first post ever after 228 days in stealth mode.
Lots of things that are good for communities are restricting for individuals. Even more interesting, some of them lose significant value when anything less than a super-majority fall in line with them (This for example is why I think the Go community sometimes is very "passionate" about getting people on the right path, they are threatening the herd immunity of sane code and layout... one person goes off, others see their example and copy it... chaos!). I think the Go team was wise enough to see that the value of having sane baked in standards from day one FAR outweighed the complaints they knew would follow.

I think many people put too little value on communal norms, they have substantial value and are worth the adaption time. When in Windows C++ -- follow the conventions, when in Linux C -- again, follow the conventions -- and when in Go -- do that same. Fighting the dominant style for established platforms and languages is a mostly pointless, exhausting and sometimes debilitating task generally only done by those too inexperienced to realize how ridiculous it is. Team leads more experienced tend to just choose whatever is the dominate style / layout (preferably per-written up) for that platform/language realizing the benefits for getting ease of reading, consistency, hiring, firing, flexible labor (consultants) and most importantly not having absolutely worthless debates about style and layout.

Dependency resolution is done by the `go` tool automatically. If your project isn't compatible with the conventions established by the `go` tool, then it cannot infer your project's dependencies automatically.

I'm not aware of any projects that break the mold. Almost everyone that writes Go perceives the benefits of the `go` tool to be greater than the cons.

In another comment, I suggested using symlinks. I do it. Is there a reason why that doesn't work for you?
I'm not so sure. There is a chance that given a different father, the girl identified as pregnant could have been killed. This incident increased grief from a death that already occurred.
They should not call it the "HOV lane" since they allow non high occupancy vehicles (e.g. hybrid car, electric car, motorcycles).
My understanding was the HOV lane's purpose is to encourage car pooling (i.e. high occupancy). Allowing single occupant motorcycles and electric cars sort of defeats this purpose.
> The prime example here is that of the collateralized debt obligation in which huge portions of the US mortgage market got sunk into.

The curious thing is that you can do the same thing with your "socially useful instrument" example. Suppose that instead of selling mortgages, Wall St. had used the same tactics to sell crop futures. They had gone to farmers who promised to provide more food than their land could produce in exchange for cash up front, then resold those contracts at a profit to "investors" and walked away.

What would happen? At first food prices would fall, as in the mortgage crisis loan interest rates fell, because the supply of food on paper has increased. This would cause consumption to increase: Lower price, higher demand. The demand would have to be met from current food stocks because you can't eat securities derivatives, so food reserves would begin to deplete. It would also cause future actual supply to be reduced: Lower price, fewer suppliers. The farmers who can't profit at the artificially lower price would go out of business and stop planting.

Then, next season, the contracts would come due. The farmers who promised more food than they could deliver would default on their obligations. Their inability deliver wouldn't be able to be met from food reserves, which had been depleted when the price was low, nor from other farmers, who declined to plant crops last season when they expected doing so to be unprofitable. Instead of the housing crash there would have been a famine.

I argue that that's not misleading.

Say your office gets computer from Dell and most of the desktops seem stable 98% of the time. Next time when you want a new computer, if you are not a computer geek already, you probably will trust Dell over HP because you have experience with Dell and from experience you know Dell works for you. So in the nutshell, the Chinese government can make this standard OS right now if they want to. In reality, if they really want to pursue this, they will need many years to make this well-known.

Chinese's market is not very different from the Western market. As soon as multiple people recommend X as a choice, X becomes a choice in your shopping list automatically. Remember they want to design the COS to fit the Chinese's usage. This means they want to add their own input natively, their own speech recognition software, they own applications. Things that matter or relevant to the Chinese citizen. Instead of Google Hangout they can add Tencent's QQ/Weixin/Wechat app. Instead of twitter they add Weibo. And of course, they can load whatever they want in this OS that will work for their regulations and laws.

What isn't clear to us is how much is completely rewritten/written by the Chinese engineers since this is based on Linux. Some suspect this is just "Copy Other System" (a joke for COS acronym), which could be another research grant scam.
I took it as a jab on how memory hungry Java applications usually are.
I agree with the point that traders can easily quantify their value, but there is a more fundamental reason at play here. First, trading is a very scalable profession. The more you can bet, the more you can win (or lose). The fact is that how much a trader can bet has been increasing in leaps and bounds, especially during the last 30 years. That's owed partly to changing structure of the global economy and partly to changes in rules and regulation.

Consider, for example, the the repeal of Glass-Steagall act. Just by repeal of this one regulation, the bankers were able to bet many times more money, dramatically increasing short-term profits at the expense of making the system more fragile.

>>One of the key points of this essay is that making more money doesn't necessarily improve one's quality of life.

No, actually the article says addictive preference towards money doesn't improve quality of life. Not having lots of money. Having lots of money nearly undoubtedly increases your quality of life.

>>There are levels of income that are wholly satisfactory for an individual's life that still classify that person as not rich.

Higher the levels go better the things get.

The Teslas are rarer at Microsoft than I expected. Over the summer I made a point of looking for them. The Leafs were easy to spot and numerous. Meanwhile I remember one or maybe two Teslas.

In fact I saw more Ferraris than Tesla Model S. Without a doubt the Leaf is more noticeable and more popular.
Hmm, the atomic integral unit of Bitcoin is actually the 'satoshi', and there are 100,000,000 satoshi in "1" notational-bitcoin. So anyone with 10 BTC or more is a "bitcoin billionaire [in satoshis]".

That must be it.
OOP isn't be all end all, and it isn't really easy to get into. But, that doesn't mean that modelling hierarchies is not necessary in some domains. E.g. DOM was a very big reason why Rust was considering adding OOP. The performance and the readability is hurt when you don't have to represent hierarchy.

Article simply says that giving ALL programmers power to design language leads to bad things. Lisp, Clojure, etc.
And I can see why. People love making their own languages, it's fun, but a good programmer and a good language designer are two mostly unrelated things. Good programmer often needs to look at problem from a weird angle, while a language designer needs to find shared views. I'm not saying they don't have a lot in common as well, but I can see how programmers can design AWFUL languages.

Note: Good programmer means a good general programmer i.e. someone that solves various tasks in his favorite programmer language.

'Seay said that he called an OfficeMax number Friday and that a manager at a call center refused to believe he'd been sent the letter addressed that way.'

'Then, he said, a spokeswoman for OfficeMax "acted the same way" shortly before he was interviewed by NBC-5 reporter Nesita Kwan on Friday. (Kwan told The Times she couldn't comment until she received approval from her supervisors.) The spokeswoman was more conciliatory after she received a photo of the envelope, Seay said.'

The PID controller was definitely the part that stuck out to me. To me, a PID controller is a method of designing a controller and thus essentially "free" to implement in software. Do you happen to know where this $30 number comes from? Also, I highly doubt that there's much variation in the "PID quality". This isn't a use case that should require especially careful controller design/tuning; it's not like your water temperature is going to see large sudden fluctuations.

On a separate note, the price jumps from $16 to $45 going from the analog to digital version, though as far as I can see the only digital-specific additions are the EEs ($7) and PID controller ($10).

> And I can tell you even tiniest pieces are totally related to one another. E.g. Render a webpage seems totally independent, but it's not. You'll need customizable font, you'll have to write your own font render engine or used shared library with OS GUI, then you have language charset encoding problems with is related with OS environs, then you have Unicode problem which down to the deepest path of OS kernel (hint: file system)

At this point in time, all of these requirements are mostly known (based on humanity's collective experience with software). Why wouldn't you incorporate them into the initial design (for example, build the OS with Unicode support from the start)?

I have some counter-examples. Let's say you're building the graphics subsystem, targeting x86 hardware. You can have 3 teams working on Intel, AMD and NVIDIA drivers simultaneously, since they don't really overlap (however, they all do need to communicate with the people writing the driver API).

Similarly, you can split up some of the compiler work. If you're targeting x86, ARM and MIPS, those backends can be written (mostly) in parallel.

Show HN: Free, open-source site for finding beautiful hikes
That was my first thought - "he just ripped off Scott!"
bitcoin is obviously a great system, but to just accept it as the next financial system is missing the larger point with cryptocurrencies: they are a significant step in the evolution of banking, an industry that has traditionally been very slow-moving and centralized. accepting a new system where the developers, who essentially replace the central bankers, are a small group who wield substantial power and can act without a wide consensus seems like a step backwards after taking a step forwards.
There are already tons of sites devoted to hikes. Here's why I made hike.io:

- It's all about hikes. Detailed trail information, beautiful photos, full screen maps, and not much else.

- It's editable. Anyone can add new hikes or modify existing ones, without having to sign in. (It's contenteditable and goes through a review process, try it out!)

- It's free. No paywalls or ads. Ever.

- It's open. The site's data is available under Creative Commons. The code is open source (I used AngularJS and Sinatra: http://git.io/hike.io)

There are still things I want to do. For example, GPX support, trip reports, and obviously I need more hikes on the site, but I thought I'd get it out there anyway in order to get some feedback. Any thoughts?

> Maybe tech companies don't have to live in overpriced, overhyped coastal cities.

It's the tech companies that made those cities overpriced. The same problems will crop up in any city that attracts a sizable enough contingent of high-paid work. Hell, it's happening to my hometown of Austin as we speak. Throngs of transplants, eager for high-paying work at whatever tech or energy company is calling, take a look at the cost of living reports for Austin and think they've found a match from heaven. They pack up their bags and move, thinking that somehow, Austin won't succumb to the maladies of its predecessors.

But property investors aren't stupid. They start buying up real estate left and right for ten percent over the asking price. Sellers are ecstatic. Owners give considerable thought to joining the sellers and renting elsewhere off of the proceeds. Everyone along the financial chain sees the bandwagon and rents and mortgages rise. The investors and sellers know the money is out there for the taking. And that's all well and good for those with the money. Moving from expensive San Francisco or NYC to Austin leaves you sitting pretty in Austin's (historically) lower costs of living, even if the house you purchase would have gone for 15 or 20 percent less 5 years ago.

But everyone else gets squeezed. Slowly of course. Rent rises like it does every year, but since it's a seller's market, there's no apartment complex to hit up for the same rent you were paying. If you're leasing, your landlord is giving serious thought to adding three or four or five or six hundred dollars a month to his bank account. It doesn't matter that you can't pay; there's a waiting list of interested parties that can. It doesn't matter that you want to stay in a neighborhood with decent schools so your children can have a shot at a better life; the people on the list want that too and have no problem outpricing you. Your paycheck hasn't really risen. The two percent COL raise might have broken even before but it sure doesn't now (assuming you were fortunate enough to even have a COL raise). Traffic has always sucked, but now it's sucking like it's trying to get a golf ball through a garden hose.

The tech and energy workers don't see these problems. They can afford whatever price increases come their way. It's the supermajority of citizens that don't work in office buildings off 360 or MoPac that have to deal with these problems. And when they rightfully insist on nipping this gentrification in the bud, when they fight to prevent Austin from cannibalizing itself into the next Silicon Valley, they get told with a straight face that they aren't "entitled" to their homeland and must step aside so the affluent can have their fun.
It's still a bit ironic to see it in the WSJ.

I bought my wife the CV-DSC40 kettle. She drinks green and Jasmine and uses the water for her Bodum coffee press. The scaling is only for really hard water areas.

It is overkill if you don't use it all that much (we use and refill at least once a day). But if you're a hardcore hot beverage drinker, it's truly the Cadillac of kettles.

I would just like to point out that it can also have a negative affect on job liquidity. For instance why would I move, at expense to myself, for a job if there is a reasonable chance of being fired for something unrelated to my work and with little recourse. It also means I'm less likely to disagree with the boss because something going bad for the company is not as bad as me getting fired from my point of view.

Fair enough to say 'that these show bigger issues with the company and you'd be better off elsewhere' but it doesn't stop companies like these existing and minimising the cost to them isn't something I particularly support.
No. Not unless you're the techie that makes partner, in which case you're still going to bring in less than the people who are actually swinging pnl.
Maybe the other 20% own non-electric kettles, like us, or have one-touch boiling water systems, like my parents.

When our last electric kettle blew up 3-4 years ago, we decided to go with a good, old fashioned metal kettle that we use on the hob. Works well, doesn't ever break, and even makes it a bit more of an 'event' to put the kettle on as you get all the boiling sounds, the whistle going off, etc.

My parents, on the other hand, have a thing that produces boiling water at the touch a button so they just use that to dump water into their mugs instead.

Either way, an electric kettle is far from the only solution .
There's a difference between "prototypical objects" and "specific objects". For instance, apples are red, but that specific apple you have in your hand might be green. Likewise, people have 10 fingers, but my grandmother only has 9. I suspect the parent thought this distinction was hidden in the question?

But I don't see any reason you couldn't name a specific object in response to the "everything in the world" question. I also can't think of many objects that are white but not prototypically white. So maybe I've misunderstood too.
I just stay away from those people, why would I downgrade my own morals in exchange for getting to work with a douchebag?

I don't think it's either. If we believe that it was a third party's mailing list, it's likely a data broker has attributes like that stored for each person in their database, and in shuffling data around, somehow that entry got appended or put in a field that was then used to address the business or person by name.
I don't have time to do this largr discussion justice, but if you can't tell I think value associated with stable, and preferably cheap, housing is important enough to protect. Regardless if it's preventing a housing market crash, having rent control or forcing increased development.
