When it comes to claims that attempt to discount an insurmountable mountain of physical evidence you yourself can verify, there is no such thing as reliable eyewitness accounts, especially not from people who died eons ago. It's obvious you are not applying sound reasoning. Would you say it's sound reasoning to convict a man cleared by DNA tests for murder when there are witness accounts from living people? Think about this maybe. You're applying a wholly uneven standard of importance to one kind of evidence because of faith. And you resort to faith because the evidence is not good enough. You resort to faith because you want to. Given all that we know about the universe, you are clearly making the wrong choice.

I may not convince you, but again, you are exactly what I thought you were, a person who relies on faith to believe in God. Faith is a bad way to come to believe in things. For example Muslims believe Muhammad was the last prophet, Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet. Both rely on faith, but clearly both can not be right. You would not use faith to answer questions in everyday life, because you would not do well.
You have to go into a lockdown mode. How long is the lockdown mode? It is a variable that is part of your initial plan.

Here is how the process looks like: collect ideas, quantify it against your key metrics (hint: most of the time it is revenue), stack rank, pick the top one. Your quantifying formula should already have a length-of-time component and opportunity cost which are the investments you are happy to make to hit the goal. Go into execution mode for that length of time.

The ideas that pop up during lockdown goes in a list that will go through the same process at the end of lockdown. At that point you have hit your goal or ready to abandon ship per the original contract.
It's a play on words. This oversensitive, over analytical take on sexuality is getting old. What would you have preferred, the hu-man pages? But that would be exclusionary to people in the industry who don't consider themselves human! <hyperbolic>What next, are you going to suggest that parents name their children gender neutral names so they don't have to chaff at it if they change gender?</hyperbolic> You can infer everything, from anything if you try.
Dogecoin has a negative connotation?
When the leadership of a company is performing evil acts via the company, that is equivalent to saying that the company is evil.

It doesn't matter what the minor ignorant workers are doing. A ruthless dictator's fingers and toes aren't evil, but he is evil.
I notice in the BART stations, there's sort of a lip on the platform edge that (if you have time) you can tuck yourself into so you avoid being hit. Do the Caltrain stations not have this? Of course, it assumes that the chap who was on the tracks initially, was there by accident.
The book I mentioned refutes this argument you're making. Why don't you read it?
FiOS doesn't give you a dedicated line. FiOS uses one wavelength to transmit downstream traffic. All subscribers on a segment (up to 32 or 64) receive all downstream traffic. Your ONU discards the traffic not intended for you. The headend limits the amount of traffic destined for your ONU according to your rate plan. All subscribers on a segment share another wavelength for sending traffic. TDMA is used on the upstream. The number of slots assigned to your ONU varies depending upon your rate plan. Also dynamic bandwidth allocation can be used to adjust the number of slots assigned to an ONU based upon the traffic being sent by the ONU.

FiOS uses dynamic bandwidth allocation to enable oversubscription on a segment; therefore, FiOS spends can be impacted by the usage of your neighbors just as cable can be.
It's an interesting example of choosing a name. Some people obviously don't care about $NAME, others have a strong aversion to $NAME. Should the creators consider a name change? What if the product is something you're looking to get funding for?

The advice to "pick anything that isn't going to get us sued for trademark infringement and that doesn't mean 'penis' in some other language" needs some expanding.
Yes, I was kidding about 'man', but my point is that 'bro' isn't that exclusionary.

In fact, I think the problem here is that a lot of geeks don't like 'bros' and I am doubting that they're hated by women as much. Personal opinion here, but: a lot of women have friends that are bros; a lot fewer geeks have friends that are bros.
There's no other kind of faith. Faith literally means "belief without evidence."
In the article, it has nothing to do with what is commonly referred to as DI in the Java world.

It's just a rather a simple mechanism to provide an extension mechanism for a daemon.
Have you ever seen a normal user have to deal with sharing data between two apps which haven't hard-coded support? Most people just give up and think you can't do it. With a little streamlined support – i.e. default email, browser — and some basic UI thought (e.g. remembering the last / most frequent choices, setting per-app defaults, etc.) the current situation would be a lot less painful.

Ah, my bad. I didn't notice the curl shown, since it's listed next to language implementations
It comes across to a lot of people as schoolyard BS though.

I see the funny side of the whole bro thing, but I think a culture of it is poisonous for a broad ranging professional environment, as it pisses off as many people as it endears, not to mention the tendency of people who identify with the stereotype to be hung-over until lunch, when they start drinking. Certain individuals do seem to be fully capable of doing this and getting the work done, but you do not want it to be your overall culture. I've seen it. It is fucking messy and very expensive.
In Spain is customary for ISPs to provide routers to their customers. They'll just have to install their custom firmware (which I think they do already) and get the customer to opt-in (or not opt-out, given recent trends). It's easier to take your customers to opt-in if you're a huge company like Telefónica.
Exactly...this is merley trend_bastardization...not original thinking.

...but hey #1 on HN...

Let's call it a "growth hack", bro ;D
My guess is irony.

Let's all enjoy a well-crafted tool with a name that is both complementary (to man) and useful without politicizing the name please :)
I can't tell if people here are being intentionally thick or not.

"Is bro supposed to be sexist or is it meant to be ironic?"

"Man referred to manual, not men!"

I can't even imagine many of you people watching a stand-up comic. Your heads must verge on exploding. The diagram for the pun/humor here would be about as simple as a diagram could be.
it's clearly meant to be silly
iirc LiveScript don't have this issue with scoping
It's my first blog post, simple as that.

Will probably write about other 2014 Apple products next.

And it's people's prerogative to criticize, too. "If it bothers you, don't use it" is the most annoying criticism-avoidance mechanism I've ever seen.

Except I think the author has this wrong: it won't be "Air" but "Pro", and will be thicker than the Air and more expensive.
Perhaps it won't be as marvelous to you when you consider that some of these freethinkers have spent years open-mindedly trying to integrate these systems into their lives. Years listening to testimonials, trying to find something to grasp onto. Yet still failed to find enough interest, passion, or problem that it solved in their lives.

I don't have to re-install Windows 8 on my laptop once a week to re-confirm the opinions I formed the previous week. To do so would be an irrational waste of time. Your audience is similarly rationally choosing not to re-evaluate until they see a new perspective on the religion or a way of addressing a fundamental flaw that keeps them from embracing religion.

And when they argue with you, have you considered that perhaps they're trying to push through a personal hangup they have that keeps them from embracing it themselves? That they are not trying to put you down, but instead to understand?

For some of us, we've already searched long and hard to no avail.
I can't name a single person in my life who has sought help and not been punished for it. I have, fortunately, learned from their mistakes, and will never seek help myself.

I can't see how it isn't rational. I have ample evidence seeking help is bad. I have none whatsoever that it's good. The rational choice is objectively obvious.

There's even a doctor in this very thread defending that punishment as "first-rate care"[1]. What other proof should I have before deciding mental health care has nothing to do with caring, and everything to do with punishing and isolating people who are inconvenient?

Why would you waste time/money/resources on marketing to people who are not your target market?

Either you support providing your product to the Americans and the Balkans or you don't, either they are your target market, or they aren't. Brand placement/recognition, which is what you are getting at...sort of..., with Software is a trickier thing. Most Software isn't advertised online or even in store printed marketing materials.
And how do you detect it before it spreads, if the issue is completely ignored and people aren't made aware that they should check for abnormalities and take them serious when they encounter them?

Especially for men, who (I think it is a well-deserved stereotype) tend to avoid going to a doctor for anything short of dismemberment.
Kristallnacht is a bad metaphor for this. Not because it's Nazi Germany, but because Kristallnacht was an act of violence instigated by a ruling minority against an ostracized minority.

Inverting it makes it a different situation entirely, which you could simply describe as a "riot", "unrest", "rebellion" or whatever isn't a blatant clickbait.
Flux7’s VyScale Earns Mention in Second Annual Amazon Web Services Competition
I think while that is one benefit of their move, it was not primary purpose. Google is data. They had different users on different services, now they are trying for unified account (Which is probably going to be G+ with everything else attached to it). In essence that is to allow people "convenient" access to all Google services with a single login. However, really it is to tie real people to their services (Easier to sell shit to real people) and to chain them to using Google.

I know there are lots of other reasons, but I believe what I stated above to be main reasons that outline Google's long term strategic plan. Keep driving ad click through rates up by showing more and more custom ads to everyone.
There is a literal parallel (broken crystal/broken glass from bus windows), but the true question is: is the power of the government on the side of the "1%/jews" or on the side of the "progressives/Nazis"? Outside of SF city government (which is so ineffective as to not really matter), most government seems solidly on the side of the elites. While many Jews in pre-WW2 Europe had economic power (and many didn't), they didn't generally have political or military power.

Consequently, this seems more like (at the extreme) the rise of the communists in Russia, progressive movements in the US in the early-1900s which caused the income tax, massive increase in size of government, and alcohol prohibition, rather than the Nazis.
I've often wished for something like this. Most of us learn by example.

I fear that the humor in it, much as I like humor, is a mistake. First, it comes across as a gender troll. Any technical attention the tool receives will be smothered by that avalanche. (Exhibit A: this thread.) More importantly, it impedes how the tool needs to work: get to the point immediately and cut everything else. Man pages may be Byzantine, but they do this well.

If I need examples for curl, examples for curl are all I want to see. They should be laid out readably and minimally (a nontrivial design problem). The last thing I want is a joke repeated everywhere. I'd say the same about the upvoting and downvoting stuff that appears in there: it's extraneous and distracting.

When I'm stuck on a shell command, it's usually because I have a specific task I'm trying to do. All I want is for the light bulb in my head to switch on so I can go "Oh I get it!" and go off to do the task. The best way is to see an example that's close enough to what I'm trying to do that it's like a magnet that attracts my specific task and snaps it in place. That's why I like the idea of this tool. It should focus on getting the user to that moment as quickly as possible.

I have a similar, but not as well organized system.

* If it is an idea for the thing I'm working on, I just file a ticket in the tracking system. It contains enough text to remind me of what it is, and let other team members iterate on it as well. It definitely infuriates some of the team members because the granularity of them can be tiny or huge, but the point is tickets can be refactored if needed. It also allows the whole team to discuss bigger things and gives the junior devs something to dive into when they need direction (e.g. lets refactor this like so... ).

* I make a todo to flesh out an idea in my todo list if it is unrelated to my current project. Then during review my life times I can make a document about each idea, or add the idea to an existing idea.

* i have a rough ranking for idea documents of "do it now", "do it sometime soon", "do it sometime (usually never...)", and "wtf was i thinking".

If you ever figure out the 28h days thing - please share, I'll pay well for it.
You're missing the actual joke, which is that "man" was the colloquialism for "dude" or "bro" in the 1970s, when `man` was created. So it only makes sense that a "man for modern times", or maybe a "man with less formality" would be called `bro`.

Personally, I've aliased `man` to `dude` on my shell, so my laptop fits in better with its peers.
Think of the standard frat douche "bro". Yeah, it's completely reductionist stereotype. Now give him a job as a programmer with less verbal filter than you'd expect from a guy in a strait-laced office.

Now take this "brogrammer" label and start assigning it to programmers who's actions you don't like and fit the "bro" mold. Actions anywhere on the spectrum from legitimately despicable to just acting like a guy fresh out of college. Is that a wide and imprecise net? Don't overthink it, we're playing in stereotypes that are OK to openly deride.
Mental illness is a disability and is protected by the ADA, so if she had been an employee and not a student she would have had stronger legal protections.

I'm not sure how it works in your reversed example of an employee supporting an employer. The decent thing to do is to support the reasonable adjustments, and to not be a dick when they return to work.

And, while they might require some time off, and maybe hospitalisation, they probably shouldn't lose their job amd have to reapply for it.
The worst thing about CoffeeScript is that you are used to having scoping work a different way?

Let's extend your example:

>>> a = 1
>>> def foo():
print a
>>> foo()
1

So Python does take from the outer scope?

>>> a = 1
>>> def foo():
a = 2
print a
>>> foo()
2

Or not?

>>> a = 1
>>> def foo():
print a
a = 2
>>> foo()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'a' referenced before assignment

Or it just doesn't work at all?

Next time, pick a better example. The answer to "What does Python do with a variable from outside a function's scope?" is "It depends."

At least CoffeeScript is consistent.
So. Nothing. Exactly as I thought.
This pile of comments is such a fucking downer. Get the sand out of your proverbial vaginas.
The guys from Thinking Machines (at least quite a few of them) ended up starting a very weird enterprise software company called Ab Initio. They're an odd company who doesn't even get included in Gartner surveys because they won't release any information about their product. The only reason they get any business is because they participate in "bake-offs" with big companies like international banks and blow the competition (IBM, MS, Oracle, etc) away with fully scalable Proof of Concepts.

I work with Ab Initio software sometimes, and its weird and annoyingly "enterprisey", but due to the parallel computing background of the guys who started Ab Initio, the software was capable of scaling up storage and processing long before anyone came up with Hadoop. Obviously its extremely closed-source stuff with a proprietary language used to configure it.

I hate enterprise software companies, but Ab Initio is certainly pretty cool compared to the other ones, and the people I meet there who are old Thinking Machines guys are super brilliant and interesting.

Another interesting point: the author of this article is Gary Taubes, who is the metascience guy who got big into low carb, high fat diets and the science that supports them.
More expensive is OK, significantly thicker and heavier is a deal breaker.
Telefonica is also an isp. Or more exactly it is the isp in Spain: it owns the wires and has overwhelming dominance in the market.

So (@dangrossman) the legal issue is averted: both costumers are in the same isp which, to them, works like a black box. So the article's use of the word "steal" is quite nonsensical.

Also remarkable is the advanced anticipation of demand. For example, Netflix is not even available in Spain and bandwidth demand is currently low compared to say the US. My guess is that it is not to facilitate video over the internet etc. but that it is a cheap way to undercut competition from Vodfone and Orange (other Spanish providers). Bandwidth sharing might mean more consistent high bandwidth for those who need it.

Actually the potential issue is inverted: you may not be able not opt out of the system.

The other potential issue is Telefonica itself. Historically it has been as appalling company to customers. It is possible this is changing but there certainly used to be a long track record of awfulness. Indeed it is my utter shock that Telefonica of all companies on earth would manage to do something of this sort that is compelling me to ramble on like this.

If Telefonica is changing, kudos!
Most subway stations in Singapore have walls with doors between the train and the platform. The doors open only after the train arrived and stopped. (It's similar to elevator doors.)

Makes it impossible to fall or jump on the tracks.
"We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a 'snob' despite the millions she has spent on our city's homeless and mentally ill over the past decades."

What is this trash? Calling someone a "snob" is libel now? Who upvoted this? Why is it on the front page? Come on.

Flagged.
If you've ever programmed in JavaScript -- and most people have, it's the language of the Web -- you will know that it is very easy to accidentally omit the "var" keyword and unintentionally pollute the global namespace. Such a bug likely will not manifest until someone else writes completely unrelated code that uses the same variable name by coincidence.

Explicit declaration of the scope of a variable at initialization leads to unintended global namespace pollution when omitting the declaration is legal and causes the variable to be placed in the global scope, which can be difficult to diagnose because it is usually completely silent until unrelated code happens to interact by using the same name.

From a language design standpoint, this means that you should either require a declaration which determines scope (C or Java), or have local be the default for variables whose scope is undeclared (Python).

> I've never heard anyone ever complain about perl's lexical 'my'

That's because programmers who care about good syntax in their languages don't use Perl.
This is why I don't use it. I know JS well, I can think in JS. Changing the syntax is fine but altering semantics in subtle ways would probably drive me crazy.
That's not my definition of faith. But let's not get hung up on semantics and disagreements about definitions.

The point I was making is that there is a good deal of evidence, but it also requires a little belief in something that you can't absolutely prove.
Same at SFO.
What a poor headline. It only goes to 2 decimal places, not nearly enough accuracy for us to know whether it is suitable for our needs!! I really need an 11.88483" laptop...
> If they enable this for other merchants, it would be a huge business.

If they can convince people it doesn't feel like stealing. And I think people are somewhat right to worry... if you screw up the purchase, it's shoplifting. If I go to a clerk, and they screw up, not my problem.
Well then; Should copyright cease to exist, the GPL would have no power and would no longer have any meaning. But while copyright does exist, the GPL will continue to work against the imbalance of power copyright (and, lately, patents) create.

If I may make a parable: Don’t hate the rebels for being violent; hate the oppressive state against which they rebel.
Its too expensive to do that to all Caltrain stations. The reality is there are better things to spend money on for Caltrain (like electrification).
>It's an awful exclusionary term and you shouldn't think it funny or ironic.

"Don't like things I don't like under any circumstances."
I agree with this completely. Ever since I've started writing down my ideas I've found that I've come up with better ideas. When you have a list of ideas they begin to have "sex" as many people have said in the past. You think on them, let them fade, and then rise again when you have another idea that complements it.

It also helps to share your list with someone else as well. I share mine with a good friend in an email that we have titled as our "Idea Bank" and it's been very beneficial.
I believe that is just for AirBart shuttle, not for the regular trains.
Time to upgrade from my 2009 MBP? It's so hard to "throw away" a perfectly functional laptop that does everything I need - just not as well (I realize) as a faster, lighter, machine would.
I'm curious how difficult it would be to take a live video feed or near real-time camera input, match it against the 3d model, and find where relevant information is in a body of text. Using maybe glass and your phone or tablet for the text.

No. "brow" is short for browse. Cookie if you know what language.
The tool is open source (although, with no license specified). Maybe someone will fork it and change the name. I think it's a neat idea that could potentially be really awesome. But yeah, the name is unfortunate.
Well, remember that the Nazi government did not have power for quite some time. It was only when the German government itself could no longer control the populace (remember, humanity was in the middle of a Great Depression, and Germany was hit extra-special-hard due to the world blaming them for WWI), that the Nazis really took hold. Unlike most capitalist nations, the people with all the power in Nazi Germany were those who were more loyal to the Nazi party, not the richest members of the German society. That is of course contrast to the way America works.

Until the US government completely collapses, and power falls into the hands of some crazy person, I'm pretty sure we won't have to worry about any kind of "Kristallnacht" taking place.
