Agreed. I actually like these types of products, but I object to the idea that a massive amount of data is going to define whether or not you're happy. If you need to sift through a massive amount of data to determine that, then no, you're probably not happy.

On the other hand, these products can help you achieve some "thing" that might make you happier. For instance, being fit might make you happy, and seeing how far you traveled each day may motivate you to walk further every day.

But the amount of steps you walk shouldn't define your happiness. And if you try to draw happiness from that, I would guess it's going to be a failed endeavor.

If I am to interpret the wikipedia page, I think it's more common to talk about Hapax legomena within a single text -- or within a single author's work -- you could assert that a word was Hapax legomenon in the corpus of an whole language, but then you would have to have read the rest of the language's original recorded works, other people reusing the word from the original reference, and people overheard your own reference (assuming you broke the spell) without realizing they were breaking the spell.

How could you ever know if you were the one who ruined it, if it was or if it wasn't hapax when you first found it?

That's either false or tautological. Mercury is bad for you in any quantity. If you say "the normal quantity for mercury is zero", then "nothing is bad for you in normal quantities" is a meaningless statement.
Help UK Startup here. Client from U.S. won't pay
Hello,
I run a publishing startup, and we are owed over $10,000 by a major american brand. They give us really good ad rates and I don't want to burn a bridge but they've only paid us once since Summer.
If we get shirty with a lawyers letter they could probably say "fine, sue us" and we wouldn't be able to do anything as we are in the UK and they are in the states, we are a tiny startup with very limited funds-we have tried numerous phone calls and emails every single week since Christmas. Any help gladfully received!
(Note: I can't reveal their or my startups name for obvious reasons, but am a 1st-time founder who really needs advice)
Works out to about $1,450 in savings if you process $50,000. I hope people don't impulsively go with them just to take advantage of this offer. In fact, you probably don't want this offer to have anything to do with your decision-making on the best processor for your needs. That decision is not easy to undo - and will easily cost you more than the savings.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your startup. I see what you're doing and it's really a brilliant idea - it would work very well for payment funnels where consumers trust the brand.

I don't see any developer documentation though - is this intentional, or did I miss the link somewhere?

Yes, fat is good, particularly if you want to lose weight, and I mostly agree with the people who say we should get most of our main calories from it, not carbs.

But pouring butter and oil into your coffee is crazy talk. Encouraging over-caffeination is hardly healthy, and this fat is devoid of other nutrients and vitamins.

Just slather butter on your broccoli, have bacon with eggs cooked in butter, eat the fat on your steak, eat nuts and avocados and cheese, and you'll have all the calories you need. If you're eating fat without the accompanying necessary protein or vitamins and other nutrients, then as they say, "you're doing it wrong".

My favorite "1 not behaving as a prime" example.

Here are two simple javascript functions:

function f(n,k){
var t = 0;
for( var j = 2; j <= n; j++ )t += 1/k - f(n/j, k+1);
return t;}
function p(n){
return f(n,1)-f(n-1,1);
}

If you call p(n) when n is prime, it will return 1.
If you call p(n) when n is a prime power (so, say, 4 or 9 or 16), it will return 1/power (so p(4) is .5, p(8) is .3333..., etc).
If you call p(n) with a number with multiple prime bases (so 6 or 14 or 30 or...), it will return 0.

And if you call p(1), it will return 0, NOT 1.

In fact, f(n,1) here is a compact (and slow) way of computing the Riemann Prime Counting function: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RiemannPrimeCountingFunction.ht...

Another way to compute this exact same function (given as (8) on that link) uses the famous Riemann Zeta function zeroes, although that is much harder to follow.

Now, the behavior of the Riemann Prime Counting function doesn't PROVE that 1 isn't a prime, which, as noted, is a question about definition. But what it does do is show that, in an extremely important context, a context that seems to be, mathematically, solely about identifying primes, 1 isn't behaving like the primes at all.
We could easily go back and forth with cases that show the market regulating itself or bad events that happened when there wasn't any regulation in place - not because of it. Anyways, to the more important point.

You would make a judgement based on their website and feedback from sources such as HN, Reddit, Twitter, word-of-mouth, etc. That's how we all make decisions based on nearly everything we use regardless of whether or not it's regulated by the government. And if it's a new service where you don't have access to credible sources, you make a judgment based on the level of risk you're comfortable with.

That's exactly why some people are willing to give emails or phone numbers for 'Show HN' posts on here and others are not. Some don't care so much and really want to try the product. Others want to wait to ensure they are credible.

Agreed. It is an interesting article to read. The survey cited is also interesting in its own right [1]. We often forget that ideas we find trivial and intuitive are only so because it took the work of many more people and centuries to hone their ideas which at that time would be have been new and ambiguous. This is especially true with mathematics because a lot of the field focuses on getting the right abstractions to complex ideas which when done correctly seem "trivial, natural, and straightforward." Also see the history of calculus [2].

Very cool! I'd pinged GitHub's bizdev team to ask about a developer program a few months back and was told that something was in the works. I'm impressed with what they have so up and running so far.

Question for anyone from GH who's reading this - will there be documentation released for how to integrate with GH Enterprise? I imagine there are some implementation details (e.g. OAuth access) that differ between regular GH and a GH enterprise install.

It isn't hypocritical because I find myself in a system that accepts coercion. If I disagree with communism should I refuse work and perish from starvation? No! I'm already within the system that make unethical demands. It isn't a choice between living free and working within an unethical system, it is a choice between working within an unethical system or working within an unethical system in a different manner. With your logic, if one sees the state as an actor of evil should he not cease all action? The state can only function with revenue, so would it not be better to live in the wilderness away from the state?

This is false. The state has it's own violence that one can constantly object to, but it does not stop one from selling labor on the market. Put another way: The state uses violence to coerce resources from individuals and to coerce other individuals not to compete in certain industries (like mass transit). That is where the sin is. To be an engineer at a public transit system or to be a income earner that pays taxes, both prop up the state in their own ways, but neither of them necessarily willingly works for a state run enterprise, but they both do.

It is not inconsistent with my beliefs because my beliefs do not hold those that work for or contribute towards the state through taxes as liable for the ethical misconduct of the state procuring taxation through force. It sounds like a tautology, but it is not.

Education is a business and college administrators want to spend as little as possible. Radically changing things and incorporating new technologies costs money.

There are plenty of students willing to fork over cash for the product as it is now, and there is no competition to drive innovation. Prestige requirements, accreditation requirements, etc. lock small schools and newcomers out of the education market. It's also pretty obvious that the top universities and their administrators are connected to each other and act together to hold a monopoly on the business.

Your interpretation of "anti-government" is misapplied & misguided. Conservatives and libertarians will, when duly prompted and given time to elaborate, give you a detailed description of how government should exist and function - not the absence of government, but a positive review of how it should be (including a robust military). They're not anarchists by any means.

The government they're "anti" is one which confiscates enormous fractions of productive citizen's incomes, spends far beyond that revenue stream incurring impossible-to-repay debt, twists & breaks the guiding verbiage of the constitution granting it powers, and generally is so far from the aforementioned ideal that the temptation is to scrap it all and start over.

One can also learn the necessity of functioning within a disliked system, sometimes living off & taking advantage of it, because the dominant system makes preferable alternatives unworkable. Working within that system may also make one painfully aware of what's wrong with it, with circumstantial realities making it impractical to do much other than take the money and bitch about it on Facebook.

Hey, there's plenty of people who hate their jobs, employers, industry, etc. - regardless of sociopolitical persuasion of both employee and employer.

Is that intentional - heck no! It's a massive and glaring omission in our offering!

No but seriously, I'm banging away at documentation right now - the problem is it wasn't clear what exactly we needed to document until we launched and got the deluge of customer feedback that we've now gotten. It's now become clear that we're missing some critical features (for a lot of people) and that's it's not clear how to integrate it. Live and learn!

Essentially though, for 1 to 1 payments, you'll just sign up, sync your bank account, and you'll get a JS snippet and an HTML div. Put those on your site, feed the JS a payment amount, and when someone clicks the button - they'll pay, and you'll get the money. Then, at the end of the payment, you'll get a payment ID that you can store and use our entirely undocumented API to retrieve information you need later.
I would imagine that as far as expertise goes, a seasoned mechanic in that field could work nearly as well with this aircraft as any other, much the same way our own expertise in computer hardware might translate across varying brands and models, gotchas and idiosyncrasies aside.
Watching the inner workings of a three letter agency in action formed beliefs that caused me to seek employment elsewhere. That said, going elsewhere required some degree of financial sacrifice, and I don't fault others for not necessarily being willing to go as far as I did with stable, good-paying jobs as dear and precious as they are.

I don't necessarily agree with regulating risky things, so there's no point arguing with me. I was just pointing out that we already do it, and are likely to continue doing it.
I agree. Wrapping your library for testing is really pushing the boundaries of sensibility.

Low density code that doesn't provide application logic is one of my pet peeves.

There is a philosophy that started in the 90s (and Microsoft was proponent of it [1]) that adding more layers to an application would make it more malleable, but in a typical CRUD web app, layers only bloat the code and make it slower.

I'd suspect adding a wrapper to a date class just for the sake of testing is more likely to add bugs than remove them.

There's a previous HN discussion[1]. My take personally was that the guy was a complete dick, and not worth defending.

Even if you take the stance that his ability to speak freely should be defended (which I agree with) I suspect his behaviour here indicates there could be more to the story. Plus he sounds like the kind of customer I wouldn't want to have.

Businesses should be free to choose who they serve (subject to some restrictions around bias against classes of people).

Softcover is based on the Rails Tutorial model, which differs from Leanpub in several key ways. I actually think Leanpub is a great service if it meets all of your needs as an author, and in fact if it had met all of my needs I might not have bothered building Softcover. (Of course, Leanpub didn't exist when I first started publishing the Rails Tutorial in 2009, but I might have used it for follow-on products.) Here are some of the important differences:

- Softcover comes with an industrial-strength, open-source production system. This means you can write heavily formatted books with cross-references, code listings, tables, etc., and interactively build them locally, all without being locked in to a proprietary system.

- Softcover's HTML books are first-class citizens. The online version of the Rails Tutorial is a key part of its marketing strategy, so it has to be polished and prominent.

- Softcover gives you your customer list. Letting customers opt-in to share their email is fine for more casual authors, but it isn't ideal if (like me) you're trying to build a business.

- Softcover supports custom domains. It's important to me to use a custom domain for branding/SEO and so that I own my own traffic.
I am moaning about pen and paper. And perhaps the biggest problem with my post is that I have no constructive suggestion.

But I am most certainly not saying that the current technology is better: far from it. I agree that writing on black boards is better than powerpoint. I agree that books are better than ebooks. I agree that video isn't necessarily the answer, and that it won't necessarily help the younger generations learn more efficiently.

I'm purely commenting on the fact that nothing is better than pen and paper and a chalkboard (and Microsoft word for writing long peppers). I am saying that I've tried tons of new technologies in education and they all suck. And I'm asking why this is the case. Can we truly not do any better?

Writing on paper does have problems: writing by hand isn't fast. Paper is not backed up. Paper is not easy to share or edit. Paper is not searchable. Notebooks require physical space. Some cannot read others handwriting. These aren't major problems. But they are problems.
Maybe a few of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Beluga
Huh. I intended that bit as a specific example of a non TDD approach, where you don't write tests first. So I'm not surprised that you identified it as a non-TDD approach, I'm just a little confused about why you thought I was presenting it as an example of a TDD approach.

Guess that wasn't clear. Oh well.
James Coplien and Bob Martin have a debate of TDD and unit testing. There is a video of it on YouTube:

Awesome, though it will obviously take a lot more than $15m or even $100m - Cassini-Huygens cost $3.6 billion. Personally I'd like to see NASA's project merge with the ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer project - add some instruments or another probe to their launch instead of launching a completely separate craft. Although I guess this increases the risk - if the launch fails, both missions fail...

>> If you find your testers splitting up functions to support the testing process, you’re destroying your system architecture and code comprehension along with it. Test at a coarser level of granularity.

The author has horrible reasoning. Splitting up large or complicated functions is almost always a good thing.

> if I had my choice between an over complicated codebase with 80% test coverage, or a more simple codebase with 0% test coverage, I would choose the simple codebase every time.

This is a false choice. I prefer a simple codebase with 80% coverage. The notion that highly tested code must be complex is simply not true.

> if they really felt that bullets were better than Hellfires for the role.

Well, Drones currently carry a single hellfire (at best), the unit cost is $68000 and the anti-personnel version is pretty nasty (it's a thermobaric warhead). A gatling-type cannon provides better precision, more staying time and much cheaper (even for the A10's 30mm, rounds are ~$750 per hundred for HE to ~$1300 per hundred for DU, 20mm rounds are $300 per hundred for HE to $500 per hundred for SAPHEI, you can literally get a truckload of high-caliber rounds for the price of each Hellfire).
