Why are you and others lumping IDE's in with the rest of "modern tooling"? And what do they have to do with version control? Or virtual machines?

I use vim very much by choice. I'm not ignorant to what IDEs are and do, but I choose vim instead. I use version control. I use virtualization (with Vagrantfile for getting my development environment up) and I write tests with good coverage.

But because I use vim I get lumped in with people who never use version control?

Ask HN: Living in a hacker house – Is it worth it?
Im currently living in a hacker house where people have their own seperate bedrooms.

Its great for networking, parties and meeting cool people etc, but the place is not being maintained (pics at
www.hackerhousefuntimes.com)

After living somewhere for a while, it's hard to maintain perspective. If you had a choice to live in poorly maintained living conditions but with cool people, vs living on your own in a studio, what would you choose? Does anyone know of hacker houses in SF that have decent living conditions (preferably with seperate bedrooms)?
What a great idea! I'm looking at the site right now and I'm planning to sign up.
I live in Austin. The cab situation here is terrible. There aren't enough cabs when it's busy, drivers often violate the law by refusing credit cards or denying rides. Last night I was downtown (during SXSW) and tried to get a cab for 45 min. The first one that stopped tried scamming me by telling me it would be $20. I told him no way and he drove off. The second one asked where I was going and acted like he didn't know where it was (very common numbered street any idiot would know about) and told me he didn't want to go there. Both violated their licenses.

The whole time I was also trying to get Uber X. Eventually I got an Uber car. It was worth the wait to not have to ride with one of those asshole cabbies. We really need to change the laws here and crack down on these cabs.
Squelch adjusts the noise floor, and in modern radios can be automagical. Also there is nought wrong with digital over HF, as other posts will attest.
Not specifically - perhaps because saying they were stolen is slightly (but only slightly) less embarrassing than saying they misplaced the key.

Karpeles did say something to the effect that the funds were "temporarily unavailable" - which would be consistent with losing the key, if they had any hope of getting it back.
Primarily, you need to straighten out your framework - "identity theft" isn't actually a real thing. It's a marketing term to scare people into thinking they share fault for institutions' trivially broken systems. In the event that a third party commits fraud using your cousin's non-secret driver's license number and your cousin suffers repercussions, the actual concepts you're looking for are libel and tortious interference committed by credit bureaus and banks.
Where's the simplex algorithm? Optimization has had absolutely astounding effects on the modern world, but it's missing there.
Me too. Well technically, you "write" code. Maybe you can spin it that way.
It's the convenience factor. Making good wine at home using traditional techniques requires a lot of skill and time. For some people that's fun, for others it isn't.

I think it's sort of like bread machines. There's definitely an allure to appliances that let you take most of the labor out of making things at home while still getting to call them homemade.
Four Easy Ways to Network without Attending Networking Events
It's perfectly feasible to have far quicker diesel trains than is common in the US (see the British High Speed Train, from the 1970s, with a top speed in service of 125mph, or the ICE-TD from a decade ago, again 125mph). Of course, you then need to have signalling for that line-speed and have pathings that allow it.
today it depends on --harmony (only for "yield"), but it is trivial to add an option to use node-fibers instead (same functionality of ES6-generators for node>=v0.8).

See https://github.com/luciotato/waitfor ,node-fibers,
and the same with generators: https://github.com/luciotato/waitfor-ES6
Adding a Dart VM to the browser doesn't really help anyone. Some people, like myself, were excited as we might have been able to get a more traditional bytecode VM in the browser. However, Dart actually just adds a Dart VM, which is really not that different from a JS VM as a compile target, and so doesn't help the situation.

That being said, we now have asm.js, which isn't that bad of a compile target.
Not that disabling the setting would keep them from reading or mining your chats though. All that happens is that now you don't get reminded of it anymore.

This list is the basis of a book by the same author:

It's extremely easy to find a free PDF download of the book. I'm assuming the free PDF has been authorized, how does one even tell these days short of contacting the author?
It's pretty worthless to just present a picture of these equations without any explanation of what their significance is or how they "changed the world". The image format is particularly bad since you can't even copy/paste the text into a search engine if you want more information. Twitter isn't really a good medium for presenting mathematical and scientific concepts.

"I don't know how much this will hurt MS with its core users"

It will hurt everyone with an Internet connection.

MS has filled the World with machines which are full of security holes and which only they can patch, and they've made a mint doing it. I would say it's their responsibility (ethically, not legally) to patch those machines until they stop being a massive threat to the stability of the Internet. I realise that this wont happen though.

Most options I found are single mysql server based solutions.
The attack that they claim happened was due to a bug in their accounting software. The software sometimes wouldn't record that a transaction had finished, so that account's balance didn't go down. Nothing to do with losing keys.

Karpeles was trying to get investors to cover the losses after the bug was found. That's why he was hoping the losses would be temporary. But Mt Gox's business practices are so bad no one wanted to invest in them, so that's almost certainly not going to happen.

There is only one way the coins could be recovered: if the thieves are found with the stash intact. Just keep in mind that Karpeles might be the thief.
What is meant by a "gin side project"?
High speed rail (typically considered 200km/h+, i.e., ~124mph) is almost always built with no at-grade crossings; on existing track upgraded for 200km/h line-speed it's normal to have lower speed limits around at-grade crossings.
So swap out synthetic diamond for cubic zirconia for the analogy. Synthetic diamond and geological diamond aren't priced so differently because of their chemical composition. The way they're made is an integral part of what defines them and how they're valued.

There is a reason a flawless 1 carat natural diamond might cost you somewhere around $18,000 and a flawless 1 carat synthetic diamond will cost you maybe $100-200. And you can't put either a synthetic diamond or cubic zirconia on a ring and market it as a diamond ring.

The point is, that a big part of what defines wine for me is the process of making it. The process is why some wines cost $200 a bottle and some cost $5. And that process which partly defines the wine is completely missing from this system. (Not to mention that the other part: fermented grape juice, is also completely missing from this system) So labeling the resultant wine flavored fermented kool-aid from this machine as "wine", seems wrong to me.
In the US and the West in general, that is considered an easement on the underlying land. Generally, acquiring new easements also requires eminent domain if faced with a hostile landowner.

Boston to NYC or NYC to Washington are relatively short runs (under 4 hours or so) as well. And they're in a very populated corridor in which IMO the driving isn't very pleasant. (Plus they can take you downtown to downtown which is often an advantage.)

Train gets a lot less interesting as an option as the distance increases. I have taken Amtrak from Boston to Washington and it's definitely doable but it's not really especially competitive with flying .
Or they could use a service that doesn't charge the public for the information.
No, really, research has been done. Go read it. Exercise does not help people lose weight.

It might make them healthier and fitter and less likely to die but it doesn't help them lose weight.
And the US population is 10% to 20% bigger than it was the last time it was this low, so the VMT per person is trending downward even more. Here in the northeast corridor we're trying to figure out what to do about a bunch of pending plans to add lanes to highways.

It was other way round actually.

News of the disappeared plane got posted here first, and then these articles related to aviation..
The MH370 777 was fitted with ADS-B, which is how the various internet based tracking services managed to track it. Unfortunately, it was so far away from the nearest receiver site that the line-of-sight needed for microwave transmissions wasn't possible below 30,000 feet. If the plane made an emergency descent, it would've vanished from tracking very quickly though perhaps not as quickly as it did vanish.
AF477 sent ACARS messages over its satellite communication link, as I recall, these are not sent as frequently as ADS-B messages but would be enough to locate the aircraft very approximately. The problem with any technical solution is it may not continue to function for the whole flight, which is why ELTs exist, but they're not indestructible or guaranteed to be in a position to transmit after a crash. There is only so much you can do with electrons, when you're facing the prospect of a large metal object falling 35,000 feet into salt water.

That particular airplane was delivered new to Malaysia Airlines in May 2002 and was involved in a ground mishap in 2012. While taxiing at Shanghai's Pudong airport, its wingtip hit the tail of another aircraft.

I had a bunch of Amtrak points sitting around that I recently redeemed for a bedroom sleeper trip between Seattle and Chicago.

It was an interesting experience but not one that I would repeat. It is by no means a smooth ride, and even with the bedroom I found it quite difficult to get any sleep. Between the horn constantly going off, the bumpiness of the tracks, and the hourly stops/starts, I basically ended up staying awake for 2 days straight.

While I was initially able to get some work done during the trip, after the first night I was way too sleep deprived to be able to continue programming.

But then again, I am a light sleeper, and I have trouble falling asleep on planes too.
Javascript itself it's not too hard to compile to C.
The LiteScript added value will be to be able to test & debug as js, and then compile to C for production (adding all the boilerplate required for a nodejs extension).

The only thing I see as "easier to compile to C" (LiteScript vs js) is that in LiteScript you define classes & properties, so it's easier to define a C++ class from a LiteScript class.

Plane or (personal) car. The two more expensive options, unfortunately.

I used to take a train from San Diego to Santa Barbara regularly during college. I probably road it 10 to 15 times. The train was often late, and twice EXTREMELY late. Once, I waited at the station over 8 hours. The train had broken down, and another train was sent to push it to the station. That train broke down too.

On one trip, my train ran out of fuel. I didn't think this was even possible. We sat in dim emergency-level lighting in the blackness of night for 4 hours waiting for another train to come push us to the station.

Otherwise, it's a great experience. Low price, smooth ride, electrical outlets, and cell phone signal. It takes longer than other modes of transportation (even when on time), but that's fine by me.
In 2012, France produced 41.3 million hectoliters of wine, and the US produced 28.4 million hectoliters. 88 percent of US production was from California.

So it's true that US wine is primarily from California, and it's true that France produces significantly more. But it's also true that the US does produce quite a bit.

One might speculate that some of the price difference is due to the kind of market that evolves when, culturally, wine is not consumed as frequently as an everyday staple of the dinner table, but rather as something for special occasions.

The ticket price of traveling in-between these two cities(Beijing and Guangzhou) by high-speed train is higher than the flight, which makes sense, considering the airplane is significantly cheaper after taking-off. The same logic with hyperloop vs. planes, one is designed for between-cities commutes, one for cross-country/continent travel. Personal story, now my mom can have her breakfast at my hometown, take the high-speed train for 2hrs to the closest international port Guangzhou and make it to the 1pm flight. It used to be 7 hours.
