This man[1] didn't work much in his life, he mocked Alexander the Great[2] and it's pretty much famous for his views almost 2500 years after his death.

It's quite an accomplishment given the fact that he chose to live as poor man in a very rich society.

Aristotle also has stated that More than 3 hours work per day, equals slavery and I'm pretty sure Socrates would have argued that If you don't want to work you should not be working.

Of course all these guys lived in the 4th century B.C.. With today's technology, people should not be working for food and rest. Seriously, the fact that there are people in whatever continent homeless and starving is a shame for our evolved society.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_of_Sinope

[2] When Alexander the Great took over Athens. He wanted to visit the Wisest man in Athens and the tale (mythology I get) says that the oracle of Delphi (Pythia) had state a couple of years before that The wisest man in Athens is Diogenis of Sinore. Funny, given the fact that Plato was around at the time. So when Alexander went finally found Diogenis in his jar - a jar Diogenis used as a bed/home in the agora - said "Ask for anything and I shall grant it you!" and Diogenis supposedly responded with indifference "*Can you move on the left? You're hiding the sun." ... The answer of course has a deeper meaning, Alexander couldn't give him the sun... And the most famous student of Aristotle (Alexander) was quite impressed as he moved on the left.
pkgng, FreeBSD's new package management tool, uses SRV records (by default) with HTTP:

$ dig +short srv _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org
20 10 80 pkg0.isc.freebsd.org.
50 10 80 pkg0.bme.freebsd.org.
10 10 80 pkg0.nyi.freebsd.org.
90 10 80 pkg0.ydx.freebsd.org.

Technically, though, it's not being used by/with a web browser.

It generated enough confusion (as evidenced by the frequent "how come I can't {connect to|resolve} pkg.freebsd.org?" questions) that there's now an A RR and a page explaining it: http://pkg.freebsd.org/
A free-market society would never average a 15 hour work week unless there's no incentive to pay for the work anymore. This could happen if we find a limitless energy source and real artificial intelligence. As long as someone is willing to pay for hours of work, people will be willing to work more than 15 hours a week to get ahead.

GAINBRAK,1 # NUMERO MYSTERIOSO
good stuff that they're hanging on but still pretty big mystery how this sustains.... there was optimistic talk/posts about how the community on imgur itself has grown and become sort of its own thing but of course the synergy with reddit is undeniable. Ad revenue while allowing all that direct linking is highly suspect IMO. Reddit enjoys huge dominance but lest we all forget it was all but headed for dead before Digg's big slip up. Surprised they have funds to throw at imgur but I guess it's a mutual interest thing.
In a typical Javascript workflow, near-instant feedback is the baseline.

I really like how Facebook's Hack has a local file system monitor which incrementally compiles on file changes. I haven't used it yet, but it sounds like a nearly ideal compromise.
He addresses that in the video: other jumpers and the plane are not above him at this point, so odds are the rock came from elsewhere.

The presumes a reliable narrator, but it seems plausible. This is one guy with an in-flight asteroid sighting. Not as if they're crawling out of the woodwork. And the experts called in seem to find this credible. Though people hamming up an act for cameras is also not unheard of.
well, by "It'll be a dream " I actually meant "I dream of being able to native compile c# app for the desktop". Sorry for the bad English.
Great article. One of the things that many people have an aversion to when it comes to this kind of thing is the "socialist" aspect of it. We all agree that it's great, but is it for everybody? I totally see where libertarians come from. They want A LOT of freedom. But why can't we have it both ways? One of the reasons socialism is hard to maintain is because of how spread out things can be, I think we can all agree that with socialism you inevitably have to force people to do certain things so that society can work (for example, live in a certain place), and this is much easier to do in a small location, but what's stopping us from having two sets of laws governing two areas of land?

You can fit everyone in the US into an area the size of Jacksonville Fl., so why not just establish "tech-metros" which are open to anyone and provide basic necessities in a socialized fashion, and use automation and digitalization to provide goods and services, while designating certain swaths of land out side these places as under a different set of laws that are more libertarian in nature? I believe ~60% of people would flock to the "tech-metros" while the remaining portion would attempt life in a more privatized fashion out side of them. With a more centralized "sub-government" in charge of these small areas, and with it being easy to come and go as you please, it should be easier to take care of the masses that want to be taken care of and let the masses who don't want to be taken care of take care of themselves.

Now that's just a couple paragraphs on a very radical idea, so there are a lot of details being left out, but imho this idea provides the most happiness along with the least destruction.
Yes, but their PR or brand message or whatever you want to call it has always been fairly extreme. I mean, just look at their 1984 super bowl ad... or really, any ad they've put out in the last decade or so (http://www.apple.com/designed-by-apple/)
Your 'return' is hands on time with engineers and access to developer sessions. It's a developer conference, not a giveaway.
Is this satire? Did he really have a friend poop into his butt on whim?
I have performed QA tasks on both, and find that either JS developers are better or going pure vanilla makes a much stabler product. The TypeScript projects I have seen had some major flaws and requests (vs bugs) always turned into low priority because of the inability to perform the task.
Seems strange that the other diver is following the same path as the meteorite and passes by just a few seconds later. Could he have dropped it and it accelerated to a speed faster than he was travelling?
The problem I have with your viewpoint is that it's contrary to what we've seen empirically. Sub-cultures where people don't work, but have their basic needs met aren't exactly flourishing. Work doesn't just give people purpose and dignity, it creates essential social structure without which communities dissolve.

I think it's quite possible that we could organize communities around something other than work. Colleges, for example, are a pretty good example. But I think proponents of basic income ignore the vital necessity of having some alternative before pulling the rug out from under people.
Before I started the 180 project I made a list of every idea I could think of. Then as the project went along I was often inspired by something I came across the day before or a new concept I wanted to explore. I had a few moments where I thought I'd never have a good idea again.

I quit my job last year and have been working on the 180 websites project and now YumHacker full time. I spent on average 10 hours a day on the 180 project.

Honestly wasn't a fan at all. Felt very contrived and inorganic. Would have been a bigger fan of a more serious take on the subject matter.
Not mentioned in the linked discussion is that both a (furniture) table and a (flat-database) table are rectilinear entities -- a flat-database table is often displayed as rows of equal length, creating a rectangle.
I don't know why they reference it as an "Illegal Party Drug". It has been used in veterinary and human medicine forever.

You can. The plugins for IntelliJ IDEA lag behind their separate-product counterparts, though: improvements to Python appear in PyCharm months before, same with PHP in WebStorm, etc.
It is because I'm using cloudflare plugin to minify everything. Source used by the server are available at https://github.com/popcorn-org/popcorn-site. Pochoclín is still present in index.html!
GoSquared offers event tracking and has a ridiculously simple API to integrate with. No free plans but I think they still have a 14 day trial. Mixpanel is awesome for any kind of phone apps (in addition to regular web funnels).
That seems about right... It looks like it travels roughly a meter or so between frames, and the GoPro was likely recording at 60fps, so it was traveling somewhere around 60m/s relative to the parachutist. So add another 10 m/s for rate of descent of the camera and you come up with 252 km/h.
This just sounds like Castro-Chavista propaganda and its worrying that americans and europeans are starting to buy this crap.

The idea that US government fights against communism and extreme islam is just an old lie kept alive by both left & right parties and there is enough evidence of the contrary (ie Allies surrendering eastern europe to the URSS, US backing up Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, supporting the coup against the Persian Shah and Al Qaeda).

So the truth is that communism and extreme islam are psycho-social ideological weapons designed to bring countries down - not much different than how opium was used as a weapon by the brittish.

Then Bankers, the weaponry industry, international insurance companies, and transnationals among other birds of prey enjoy doing juicy billionary businesses with the talibanized governments anywhere be it africa or latin america.
I would surmise that the original authors at One Tree did maintain it on itself, but it's a pity that it's nigh impossible to find any sources on this.

Why?

No, seriously, if I can work 15 hours a week and live comfortably, why is there an automatic assumption that I'd need to work more just because other people are prepared to do that? What does 'get ahead' even mean, in that context?

There's so many social and cultural assumptions bound up in your statement that it's nearly meaningless for anyone who isn't you.
Exactly. Google Video was an average video host. YouTube was the community it is today, though it didn't have the ad programme.
>> "But if you have projects you are actively working on and are encountering issues or anticipate that you will be encountering issues that will be time consuming to debug on your own, then if you spend some or most of your time in the labs, WWDC is absolutely invaluable."

I don't disagree BUT for this to make sense you have to have a major bug in your app you're having trouble solving and have that happen at the same time WWDC takes place.

IntelliJ is a great IDE, but personally I prefer NetBeans. The killer feature for me is the Gradle integration that is far superior in NetBeans, but I also find the GUI nicer and much more intuitive.
Can you show me _one_ comment which actually recommends how to improve her skills? You know: " I noticed you are using ... but there is framework which does it better"... sort of stuff.

I think boys deserve bit more encouragement and girls deserve bit more honest constructive criticism.
In fact, he was doubly lucky. Firstly, he was incredibly lucky to have witnessed a meteorite passing a few meters from him. Secondly, he was very lucky not to be killed by the meteorite that was passing a few meters from him.
Front running is a conceptual variation of the hold-up problem. Like any concept, it can be implemented in plain-vanilla as well as syngthetic variants. Non-vanilla is not dispositive.
Yeah, considering the number of people working on this, I can't imagine anything was left to chance. Did the comments have some connotation that was lost to time, was it just joking around, or is there something that the developers seriously weren't sure about?
Studying for a quarter of a century during the height of your youth a reward on its own, and it's unfortunate that for so many it's just a path to employment. I wouldn't change that even in the imaginary utopia I can dream about.

What's BS is having to pay for that is the less fortunate countries, and a pressure to churn people through it as fast as possible.

I was using Go as an example of this. The majority of statically compiled languages don't support compiling the same source code to a multitude of platforms.

The same Go code and be compiled for x86, amd64, ARM and runs on Linux,OSX,Windows,FreeBSD,OpenBSD,NetBSD,Dragonfly,NaCL,Solaris and Plan 9. Not many statically compiled languages pull that off.
And most of the foods labeled as "Lite" or "Reduced Fat" have more sodium than the original version for taste purposes. Trying to eat healthier by reducing calories can actually up your sodium intake.
The problem is not the phase 1 of the plan ( creating a tool ) it is phase two ( incite dissent ), because to do that you need to manipulate and lie, and can result in very violent revolution fueled by hate, hate created by making people.believe things are not even true, thus a sort of empty hate, hate for its own sake.
If my wife didn't have to work for money, she would study archeology and "work" on processing the countless of archeological site that are laying around where she comes from.

That would be work. There are plenty of things that people would do - I know of people that would take care of children, some that would teach, some that would code, some that would cook, ...

However that's not work, "work" in our capitalistic societies has a specific economic meaning: a work is something that produce profit. So for example in education, you have that silly situation where there is a demand and offer, yet there is no teaching job because the optimal profitability has been reached at a level lower than optimal for people.
So what is you suggestion should I drop my idea ?
I worked on the project since the first developers left. I am the one who fixed and released all versions since 2.5. I guarentee that http://popcorn-time.tv is mine and the build are safe. Source used are https://github.com/popcorn-org/popcorn-app/releases/tag/v0.2... .
Just to make a thing clear:

We are in no way affiliated with Mark Suster's blog bothsidesofthetable.com. It is a complete coincidence that I chose the name half a year ago when I launched the blog. That being said - after being made aware of this fact yesterday, I will find an alternative name for the blog. I apologize for any confusion this might have caused.
I'm concerned with the average as a concept. Is the average calculated from every user of uBiome? Does that make any sense? Surely there are significant changes between the sexes? What about race, social group, location, etc?
I've stuck with Eclipse (or have been stuck with it) because of the massive ecosystem of associated tools. It takes a lot of effort to predictably develop and release those tools without various projects stepping on one another. So, being a couple of months late just comes along naturally as a byproduct of that which is keeping me with it in the first place.
Yes, you are right, it's a mistake in the text. I'll correct it.
In my experience, producing things you care about, and doing so in a way that allows you to express yourself, is what gives meaning and purpose to your life, and what allows you to define who you are. Often, it does not qualify as "work", in that you won't receive money for it.

Making Art would be the canonical example of this. But you actually find it in a many diverse things, from building a cool, unique app to solve a problem you care about, to building beautiful furniture for your house, to writing an essay explaining a view you care about, to elegantly solving a math problem that had been exciting your curiosity.

What does not provide meaning and purpose to your life, is work with no room for self-expression, self-direction and self-definition. Most jobs done "for the money" fall into this category.

Side-Project to Startup in One Year
that guy deserves a medal. 4 years of work and documentation and he gives it to the world. the documentation is pretty good with some incredible pictures and diagrams. now granted i'm not an electrical engineer so i don't know if it is accurate.
You are making three claims here:

1) That technology replaces jobs.

2) That there is a vast untapped well of jobs that will be created as Point 1 progresses.

3) That the number of jobs in Point 2 is greater the number of jobs in Point 1.

Disagreeing with Points 2 or 3 doesn't make someone a neo-Luddite. Those claims are more about the economy than about technology. I haven't seen any reason to accept them as true. Obviously some new jobs will open up, but the idea that there is a sufficient pool of jobs that are worth a comfortable wage isn't in evidence as far as I can tell.
Ask HN: Service for finding your friends after installing an app
I'm developing a social networking app that shows any friends you may have (based on your address book, Facebook, etc) that are already users.

Before rolling my own, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a service that helps facilitate this and/or take care of any of the related stuff like verifying an email address, phone number, sending invites, notifying you when a contact becomes a user, etc.

I'm also wondering if such a service should exist and if so contemplating building it.
The ultimate example of the "what would you do?" question is Bill Gates. If there is any one person on Earth who does not _need_ to work, it's him. And yet he's as busy as he's always been. He's not just funneling money to causes, he's intimately involved in the process.

There's nothing wrong with being industrious. Hard work, meaningful hard work, is rewarding in and of itself.
ie, thrown it? That does seem far more likely than it being from space.
"Health hacking" is really more about the act of tracking. Most people I know involved in quantified self see benefits in being observant of their daily routines, food, exercise, etc. Drawing causations from the data is generally not possible, but learning more about yourself with tools like uBiome and WellnessFX can lead to better decision making on a daily basis. It can also help you learn how to ask the right questions from a doctor.
Yes it is. No it isn't. Yes it is. No it isn't. Repetitive much?

There's nothing wrong with the network stack in Windows. NT has always had a first class network stack and they keep improving it with every release, as is normal for any modern mainstream OS.

Meteor is a description of the burning in the atmosphere not the object itself, which is still a meteoroid.
An additional negative aspect of this mentality is that effort, rather than value, is praised.

Working hard should never be a goal. It should be a means to a goal.
That's the nice thing about web applications: You can do user tracking without needing them to opt in.

As for me, I trust Microsoft enough that I always opt in. And I've seen a few times that such data is invaluable when making feature or UI decisions.
>It is a fallacy to believe that businesses operate efficiently simply because there is a profit motive.

I think the purpose of this adage is that businesses operate more efficiently than government entities. Not with perfect efficiency.
> what makes one person a success and another a failure, and what gives purpose and dignity to life, in your opinion?

These are the questions everyone has to answer for themselves ultimately. People like to go around praising everyone they believe to have succeeded and condemning everyone they believe to have failed, but you need to decide for yourself what the purpose of your life is. Otherwise you'll just end up chasing what everyone else believes.
I don't like IntelliJ, but I do like Netbeans for Java and PHP development. IntelliJ has a behavior that I can't stand (almost an OCD trigger for me). When I click on a page of code somewhere past the last character in a line, I expect the cursor to appear behind the last character. IntelliJ leaves it floating out in a very unsatisfying manner. I know that IntelliJ does auto formatting and that it doesn't really matter, but I feel real anxiety with this default behavior. And Netbeans is free for the full version. To me IntelliJ doesn't offer enough to pay for it.
If you believe in democracy, you can't believe in any "moral right" or legitimacy of a non-democratic government. Castro, Assad, Putin, neither of them has a moral right to run their countries, as only a freely elected government in a human-rights respecting state can have legitimacy.

That doesn't mean these leaders don't have "a claim" to power, or that you necessarily have to actively start deposing them.

Yet the only reason a democratic government does not depose an antidemocratic government is if it can't do so. And the latter is true for almost all situations. It stops to be true when there is a specific oportunity to improve the situation.
"Obviously Amazon has beaten Apple to the punch"

As for public skd, sure. But we've already been able to use AirPlay on games for a while. For years. It's obvious (for now) Apple's notion of a controller is the iOS device itself, vs. Amazon using a typical console controller.

I've been waiting for years (like a lot of people I suppose) for Apple to spring the ATV sdk on the public. Every year, every WWDC, disappointment. This year I'm not holding my breath.
12" Retina MacBook Air pretty please?
The entire idea is to not provide any "gifts" and "devices" to people attending, so the only reason they are attending is for quality 1:1 time with the Apple engineers plus the opportunity to socialize with your fellow Apple developers. The actual sessions are available on video, so you don't need to attend for those. Viewed from this perspective, lack of giveaways is a very deliberate and desirable feature of the WWDC.
Presumably the downvote means, "No, but I'm not going to tell you why"?

Any Nordic types following this story?
K is only hard if you try to read it without first studying it. Looping is achieved through adverbs. The key to it is understanding what is a noun (data), verb (operator/function) and adverb (takes a verb, creates a new verb to be used infix). A verb with a noun to its right is a dyad if there is also a noun to its left, and is otherwise a monad. If it is needed, the monad can be specified by appending a colon to the right of the symbol. Fortunately, most kdb+ developers program in Q, which has a bunch of helper routines defined in k, and assigns monads to names such as neg x instead of -:x.
The premise of the post is false. If a large limit order is resting on the books, that's an implied option for the HFTs.

If you place a large bid at $10.00, the HFTs will buy at $10.01. If the market starts going down, they sell to you before the price crashes more. If the price goes up, you never got your fill.

Limit orders don't protect from HFTs exploiting you. What happens is you either don't get filled (price drops to $10.01 and goes back up), or the price drops to $9.99 or less.
