According to the internet the slugs are mostly aluminum and/or copper. I'm sure it's more complex than that, but that's the ELI5 answer I guess.
20 years to finally get this right. TWENTY YEARS, MAN!
Main takeaway: these guys aren't evil in the Sith Lord sense, but they're also completely not up to leadership. Rather than being cosmically evil, they're just a bit dumb, a bit insensitive, and a bit sad. Reality, for them, is emasculating and disempowering, but also humanizing.
Something is not clear about the character count requirement: did they set it to one or just finally found the right way to present it? If this is the former as the messages from the dialogs suggest, I think he should have highlighted the fact that the problem was not one of design (i.e. making users understand the limit), but functional (i.e. not forcing users to pad a too-short message).

one thing React by itself can do that React+Backbone.Model can't, is handle oddly shaped state. Which is almost all of your state, once your application becomes nontrivial.

Well they've positioned themselves well for the IPO by doing the trademark grab recently. If courts continue to allow them to assert their dominance I think they'll continue to make decent money for a while. I would agree that they're not a long game investment but I think they'll make it over 5 years.
Ahaha, speed is huge deal for e-commerce. It has already been proved enough by big merchants tests.
Search relevance is too! The key is to have them both at the same time :)
I like the fact that this blog talks about the elephant in the room

It really does not matter what methodology, or tools you will use, if at the end it does not pass the user acceptance test

So why consider it a failure if you have users telling you what they want and how off you are? Better to embrace it and make a better product

This. Websites are supposed to distinguish internal and external links. It makes it way easier to now what kind of information we will be getting when clicking. My first thought is for a blog [1] which does it pretty well: (internal links are underlined.

(I could not think of an English-speaking website with a similar differentiation right away)

Then it's a bug in the child process. Turtles all the way down. Also, double-forking is a hack that should burn in hell.

EDIT to the reply below: It's still a design issue but I agree that it's not always practical to change existing software. A small PID1 wrapper that reaps zombie processes and execs the target program would be a good middle-ground.

java.util.Date wasn't broken per se, since people have been using it since Java first came out. It's just not pleasant to work with, the naming conventions are wrong, it's short-sighted in terms of international dates, etc. Classic example of what's wrong with the old methods - the dates are 0-indexed.
valve isn't the FBI
I am not sure how many domain migrations you have done in the past but based on this comment my guess would be few if any. There is a bit more to it than just slapping on a couple of 301's and hoping for the best.
I've been writing in a blog for over 10 years and it's really hard to not refer to posts you have written in the past. A blog is a website and that what links are for.

To be honest, I should do it even more because I find very annoying when I write about something I've already written (well, it makes sense: if it was a good idea to write about that back then, that's why it's a good idea to write about it now).
NAT is not a privacy mechanism.
For IP addresses to be lifelong (and therefore portable) the routing mechanism would need to change.

Now you have two problems.
Sounds unbelievable to me. How is a picture of a card going to mean that you can copy the RFID/chip needed to actually access anything? It would be a first warning/stern telling off event at most.
When I'm giving feedback, I usually don't want the developer to tell me why it is wrong. I don't mean that in the sense that my perspective is correct and my feedback is never wrong, I mean that if I am irritated enough about something to report it as a flaw, the last thing I am going to want to do is engage in a debate about it.

BTW, discourse infinite scroll could behave better when the user input is the down arrow on the scroll bar.
A little late in coming (blame the Southeast U.S.'s snowstorm), but I work in a very stats heavy field and interact with a number of CS types because I work on computational models.

I've gotten a fair amount of "I just need a p-value" requests, and some assumptions that everything can be hit with a t-test or an ANOVA and it'll all work out fine.
One could say it's an opportune time for them. New investors are more than just bag holders. They become promoters who are sympathetic to King's crusade.
This is why we have regulatory agencies like the FDA and development standards like ISO 13485 and IEC 62304. As someone who has worked for most of their career in medical device development, I can tell you that anyone who is a "hacker" rather than a software developer/engineer would not last a day in such a regulated workplace.
+1 for each page taking 3+ seconds to render. Feels very slow.
No we left it as is, but it is configurable in the admin section. This is very important for non-English languages where one or two characters is often enough for a descriptive title.
Gas and smoke probably.
If I'm willing to contribute $100 to destroying King during or after their IPO, is there some creative way that I can do it?

I understand the basics of stocks, but beyond "don't buy it," I don't know if there's anything I can do to hurt them.

Since "wget https://raw.github.com/laurent22/massren/master/install/inst... comes out with certification error, because wget doesn't know github's certification, you need to either add an ignore-cert option or you might wanna change that option to 'curl -O https://raw.github.com/laurent22/massren/master/install/inst... which will not came out with an error. Also, curl is installed by default on MacOSX while wget is not :-)

The safety regulations, standards compliance requirements, mechanical, thermal and electrical parameters are significantly more strenuous for automotive ICs than for consumer devices. Does AMD manufacture Jaguar chips that can be used in automotive?

There are also issues of logistics at stake, such as maintenance. Unless AMD is willing to manufacture a certain Jaguar chip for the 5-8 years that automotive manufacturers typically require it, the Jaguars wouldn't even be considered for many systems.
Sounds suspicious already.
Short the stock?
I totally agree. The problem for us however is actually deciding what's the most complained-about request, and how to categorize those requests. I find that we each have our pet hates and loves, and even if we don't mean to, we develop selective hearing for complaints or praises.

We tried to add tags to support emails (via helpscout), but it's also hard to remember to tag things, and it's easy to use different tags for similar complaints.

I wonder about the best strategy to quantify complaints / suggestions and 'bucket' them correctly, so you can really choose the top ones.
Corporate interest ruin everything, even cheats.
I see your point. I've had to deal with this a lot. "Hedge fund X is paying someone 2x what I'm getting today for a technology job."

ok... You may be worth more to them. You may also be working 50% more hours, and you may also be getting paid daily, and not getting benefits, social security contributions, and the like.

IT's very frustrating. Ultimately I try to screen for "Money is the most important thing in my life" during interviews, and then if I have folks like this working for me, I encourage them to chase the better dollar.

You can't stay in business chasing the best offer away for each and every employee.
Building A Company For Investors Is A Bad Idea
"This is because new technologies also increase demand for products and services. Consumers will demand more product if new technologies add desirable features or decrease the price, thanks to the smaller amount of labor needed to produce the product."

Consumers, on the other hand, will not demand more of diddly if the have no job and no money.
My door handle is a knob that turns both ways to open, but turning my right hand (I'm right handed) clockwise is far more comfortable than doing so counterclockwise.

I can't think of a many such titles though. Maybe "UX" for a general discussion about user experience?

Edit: oups, I had read "English speaking" rather than "non-English" ; with ideograms, it is actually quite obvious, thanks for the remark!

Nothing too fancy, just strategically placed explosive charges to break up the vehicle to stop it from traveling further down range and disperse the propellant to reduce the size of the explosion.

Amazing post! I wonder why everyone is called Mike Smith in the article though ? Mike Smith - VP of this, Mike Smith - a tourist, Mike Smith - etc. ?

Something else that wasn't covered is that cash is also dirty and carries grime and infections. Ideally you should wash your hands before you eat if you handle any cash. (this is less of a problem with laminated/plastic notes like the CAD or EUR)

Imagine a super virus propagating and killing people through cash. Ouch!
Sorry, don't understand your last sentence.

It seems to contradict the paragraph before -- ML as a service seems a terrible idea for the reasons you just listed (among others). What's "Hella Neat" about that?

For most applications we build, if time is relevant for more than just incidental functionality, we will typically use Joda-Time. For simply incidental functionality (e.g., a few UI elements displaying the time), we'll use the standard API.

I've not seen any home-brew date APIs outside of a few bite-size pieces of functionality. For instance, we have one custom utility that takes two times and a granularity level to render a human-readable rendering such as "2 hours, 13 minutes ago."
I could never draw that stick figure. It has a certain flair I could never replicate. That led me to be instantly disheartened when reading this.
I don't imagine it ever replacing SV, but supposing a tech scene did take root in the East Bay, where do you think it would be? Think something analogous to "Silicon Alley", AKA Dumbo/Red Hook in Brooklyn, NY.
On the old domain, make a request to the new domain with query parameters that have the information necessary to login as that user. You can do this using e.g. a hidden image, an iframe, or using javascript. The request on the new domain saves that login information in a cookie.
It's not. Most apps rightfully expect that they're not PID 1, and that the real PID 1 takes care of that sort of stuff. Only in a container does it happen often that your totally-not-designed-to-be-a-PID-1 app, actually is PID 1.

What if you're creating a PostgreSQL container, and your init script spawns a daemon, after which it exec()s the PostgreSQL server process as PID 1? The daemon then spawns a few processes that fork a few times. PostgreSQL only waitpid()s on its own postmaster worker processes and so those other processes become zombies. Are you telling me that PostgreSQL is broken and that you have to patch PostgreSQL?

I think using a proper init system, and running PostgreSQL under it, is a much saner view on things. The small wrapper that you mentioned is exactly the /sbin/my_init provided by baseimage-docker.
You could do it through redirects to from x.com to y.com/login, which sets cookies on y.com's domain, and then redirects back to x.com. Either only do it on login or set another cooking on x.com once you've done it once. (I actually work on a web property that does similar, although for different reasons.)
Realize your potential
This is true. And the uninformed public actually thinks that their victims are companies that have copied from them. Oh, the sad irony.
Just run another container that runs cron.

In regards of lxc-attach: this is a command that docker should expose to allow network operations. Even with baseimage-docker you won't be able to track it because all you can do is attach/log sshd. Also how do all these SSH keys and ports on a single host ?

The only thing I've ever seen work is getting down deep and dirty in the trenches with your users, communicating with them and cultivating relationships. That's how you suss out the rare 10% of community feedback that is amazing and transformative.

This is simple but practical advice I think far too many people ignore. You've inspired me with this article. Glad to see you've been successful from it!
Why does that classification elicit a WTF? That seems like a reasonable classification, given how little context the algorithm has about the snippet. It's entirely plausible for that quote to be from a book about how "concrete and tarmac" have impacted modern architecture. There's not really any other hints about what it could be about.

There's no excuse for the polarity though. "Gone to shit" should be a pretty good indicator about the sentiment.
The plural is "corpora".

In Chinese and Korean, a single unicode codepoint encodes a full syllable, so two codepoints can be a word or even a short sentence.
You cut off the non-English part of that quote. How much can you express in Chinese with 2 characters?

This process takes a lot of humility. It's not easy to say, "We are smart, but we don't know, so let's just get something out there." It's antithetical to the planning mania in so many big companies, and also why innovation like this is best from small places. I wish them the best!
There is no creativity involved in their process whatsoever.

Just because demand went up in the past doesn't mean it will in the future. That Tax service argument is ridiculous. People did their own taxes in the past now they use tax software so in the future they will use tax perparers? not seeing it. The middle class was propped up by unions plain and simple. With out government intervention society trends toward the rich and the exploited.

maybe? i know in starcraft 2 there were several very good players who used cheats to claw their way to the very top of the ladder. but it's true that the vast majority of cheaters aren't very good. it just creates grief for most people who have to deal with it.
[This is satyre, imagining cash introduced now, and mocking BitCoin's critics. Some ring true, some miss the two-sided market issues behind adopting new payment forms.]

To be honest, I’ve been in Nordic countries for a year (where all transaction are card-based, and there is no minimum amount for payment) and that situation rung surprisingly true — especially after yesterday, when I was facing a coat valet who was expecting a ten crown in cash.
"Time zones, which disambiguate the contexts of different observers, are put to one side here; you should use these local classes when you don’t need that context. A desktop JavaFX application might be one of those times."

WAT. Even if you assume that your user has exactly one TZ, how does this work with DST / summer time?
In erlang it's not idiomatic to do it super often, but when a bug does pop up in production, as they tend to do with every known program, it's pretty sweet to be able to look at it and fix it without dropping state or connections.
So she was born rich. You might even say... she was born lucky.
Bitcoins (and others) aren't backed by a government. One of the major exchanges used to trade Magic the Gathering cards (You know, for kids!). Bills also have serial numbers that provide some amount of traceability, at least between Federal Reserve branches and banks.
Yes. That's a pretty serious claim, especially paired with a rape analogy. There are plenty of forums on the web where everyone will nod along as "Wall Street 1%'ers" are described as having obviously committed (typically unnamed) atrocities. I don't think HN should be one of them.
What is the benefit of using this? Is it to write well? According to this system Marcel Proust, Edith Wharton and George Eliot are terrible writers. Is it because they didn't write proper blog posts or tweets? "Bold and Clear" doesn't mean good or intelligent.
It is their loss, the modern reader needs to take a cue from Ahab and not give up on Moby Dick.

Nathaniel Philbrick's "Why Read Moby-Dick?" gave me the kick I needed to tackle the book and I am grateful to him that I did (and plan to do so again).

Yeah, Angular and Ember both have their own 'runtimes' essentially which is in stark contrast to knockout, which really is just a library, and there really is a fundamental difference.

This article is entertaining, interesting and relevant. Humans are exceptionally good at rationalizing their biases, especially if they involve trust, and interest is required to alter those biases in a positive way. The biggest challenge for cryptocurrencies today is raising interest and trust in the general population. We can best effect that by working hard to raise interest in cryptocurrencies in a positive way.

This is more commonly known as "marketing".
GNU grep 2.17, 10x faster
I still don't get why there is so much worry about keeping the same amount of jobs. When people imagine future, they like to think of robots doing chores for them and having time to work on personal projects or take leisure time. It means that the first thing we are expecting from automation is not more productivity but less work. Of course, it can be socially explained because the current way of thinking about economy does not allow for a gradual change to less work.

I guess one of the topic that will have to be discussed here at some point is the concept of basic income [1]. Its advocates think that it will help such a transition by helping reducing the amount of existing jobs while making sure that everyone can sustain oneself.

Apple's Top Dealmaker Met With Tesla CEO
My issue with fluff pieces like this is that there are plenty of established tools in our lives that would not be available if they started out today. Acetaminophen (or Tylenol by it's brand name) is often touted as a drug that would never pass modern FDA regulations if it were introduced today due to it's issues with liver toxicity and link to Reye's Syndrome.

We make products and services with what we have available at the time, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are an indefinite solution, nor does it mean that we are going to hold our archaic solutions to the same standard we do with our new and improved solutions.
