I wonder if this is a European thing? Most of the places I have hiked/camped in America allow fires. What do you do for heat and beast repellent?

There is a neat rule in some Scandinavian countries (I think it is more than one country but I forget the name of the rule so I cant look it up) that ensures people's right to hike across private property. I can imagine that a prohibition on fires would come in handy.

It's not about parts per billion or what other animals do in the reservoir, it's about irrationality and phobia of pee that came out of humans; and to work with irrationality (to keep people drinking the water as opposed to switching to bottled as a result of this knucklehead), overreactions, like draining the whole thing, might be the right move.
> At first glance it would appear that the author is saying that Nest will make your air conditioner produce more cold air on a hot day, but the following line contradicts that.

The wording is odd, but "turn the air conditioner up" = "raise the trigger temperature on air conditioning", that is lower the amount of air conditioning. An other option is to spread up- and down- time across users so if everybody wants 10mn of airco per hour, 16% get it in the hour's first 10mn, 16% in the next, etc… instead of everybody being on the clock.

Portland has open air reservoirs in Mt. Tabor and Washington Park. They're both fenced off, but I do know that dead animals have been found in the Washington Park reservoirs before. what was surprising to me is that this is the first time I realized that the water in these reservoirs has already been processed. I always assumed that they held pre-processed water.

Oh well, at least it isn't as bad as when sewage overflows get released into the Willamette River every few years.
Interesting. But I'm surprised this is necessary, I would think that the AC units are already turning on randomly, so that across a whole utility the load would be fairly level just based on statistics. Perhaps there are bigger correlations than I would guess.

We use containers instead of VMs. We give you dedicated build containers (called minions) and the environment is persisted between builds, so packages do not need to be installed for each build.
Also, language runtimes and services are already pre-installed on a container, so we can easily turn on or off as specified by yml file.
We use Docker containers for builds/tests and we think all this combined is our magic sauce :)

Could you "enable anonymity" at very low bandwidth ... say ... the equivalent of 9600 baud?

What a fantastic idea. This seems worth pursuing. It should be possible to configure a modern browser to work with low bandwidth: HTML/CSS/JS would load, but images and other media wouldn't. Is there any reason why HN, Reddit, Twitter, webmail, and other services like IRC wouldn't be usable under those conditions?

It seems like people might be much more willing to rent out their infrastructure to anonymous parties strictly for those purposes.
The hamburger menu icon is definitely ill-fitting, since the primary association for that icon (and that placement) it has is "menus" and not "documentation".
I believe that if you subsidize irrational behavior you will just get more of it. As a reductio ad absurdum, suppose someone hung themselves next to the reservoir, and it was proposed to drain and refill the reservoir to get rid of 'ghost water.' Of course that would be ridiculous, but if you did it then you might just as easily set a precedent.

Indeed, a quick search for 'ghost reservoir' turns up stories from places as diverse as New Jersey and Singapore, although these are related to drownings, which would present a much more significant health hazard. Fortunately, authorities in those places seem to have kept things in perspective. It's a lot better to just go on TV, tell everyone that the water is actually fine, thank you, and then drink a glass of it on camera to underline the point. Sure, a few crazies will think there's a big cover up and post about it on infowars or wherever, but those are the same people that think flouridation is part of a government plot to kill us all. Fuck them.
That could be caused by the routing, as well, though -- are the servers in the same approximate geographical location?
> I strongly suspect it would be similar to the NVEnergy program -- opt-in only, and likely with the ability to override energy events / forced thermostat settings.

That's what it looks like: http://support.nest.com/article/What-is-Rush-Hour-Rewards except it uses your temperature profile to prepare for it, so it might actually turn the airco up earlier before "rush hour". The program is indeed advertised as opt-in and overridable.
> But it most assuredly has hurt me when trying to program with other people, who do not have a direct psychic hotline into my brain that tells them what preconditions must hold before my code will work properly, and what things they can and can not do with a certain library, and most importantly, why they can and can not do those things

Programming is hard. It's an ongoing process of mastery. This is true with any programming language. There is no silver bullet.

> Languages that allow me to encode more of those things into the program itself

There are plenty of tools that almost every language provides for you. It's an architectural concern to ensure that there is as little mapping between the domain and the code.

I personally find Javascript to be flexible, which allows me to architect my software in a way that is communicative of the domain, without many restrictions.

> I become one of those people who don't have a direct hotline to my-brain-in-the-past

A story is a great way to communicate information. Automated functional (black box) testing is also good. Also, try to reduce the mapping between the domain and the software. Ideally, the software (naming) should have a 1-1 map to the domain.

Also, keep the structures flat, as this idiom tends to reduce complexity.

Keep consistent & iterate on architectural idioms between projects.

These are some ways to improve communicability of the codebase & to have insight into the business domain logic.
From what I understand, they turn the AC on earlier in the day when they know it will be a hot day, which smooths out the peak demand when everyone's AC would have turned on at the same time later in the day.
Fonts are easy to tweak though...

I do enjoy tweaking the fonts until it pleases my eyes most. I've been using Source Code Pro as the monospace font for quite a while now. Currently trying out Alegreya Sans and its variants for the regular system font - kind of controversial among my designer friends: some of them consider it too "serify".
I think it's gold. Lots of stuff relevant to HNers's curiosity. Youtube's suggestions are sometimes good, but often disappointing by offering bland and average material, and not so good for systematically finding "the good stuff".

I was also the wood splitter sent outside in the winter to take care of that task. The worst part is that it was pure vanity: my dad just liked having a fire in the fireplace.

The colder it gets, the dryer the wood. This is why it splits so nicely. As soon as it heats up at all, wood gets humid and a little tougher to split.

edit:

I forgot that urea is what dominoes are made of.

The internet is too big: http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v32je16.htm

"Four healthy male human subjects received an oral dose of 15 grams urea (approx.250 mg/kg bw), blood urea rose from 30 mg/100 ml (mean level prior to treatment) to a mean level of 42 mg/100 ml (range: 40-46) within 15 to 60 minutes. The increased blood urea levels returned to normal after 3 hours. Fifteen patients with renal impairment, after similar oral treatment with 15 g urea, showed a rise in blood urea from 50 mg/100 ml (mean level prior to treatment; range: 26-220) to a mean level of 75 mg/100 ml (range: 38-299). The increased blood urea levels returned to the levels observed prior to treatment after more than 4 hours (Archer & Robb, 1925)."

So 15 grams wouldn't be enough to poison a single person with kidney impairment.

funnier:

"Since urea is a natural end-product of amino acid metabolism in humans, and that approximately 20 grams/day is excreted in the urine in adults (proportionately less in children) the Committee concluded that the use of urea at levels of up to 3% in chewing-gum was of no toxicological concern."
This was a helpful and informative writeup, but it hasn't really convinced me that I should use promises.

I currently use use callbacks and caolan/async on node.js, using in-place callbacks where simple and async methods where things get complex. It's been working very well so far, and it avoids my biggest issue with promises, which is that it seems I'd need all the modules I want to use to support promises, which they surely don't, and mixing two styles seems worse than picking a poison.

Maybe someone can show me why my reasoning is flawed, though.

Fuck your family. Make money for your own reasons, or don't. It has to come from you or you'll never feel successful.
Singapore is also a tiny island with a limited population that has to import most everything. Over 40 years they've somehow created a culture of hard-working over-achievers and have one of the highest GDPs per capita in the world (they're currently #3). Being dependent on imported goods doesn't seem to be much of a problem here, so perhaps the secret lies in their carefully planned cultural shift. (But if it were me, I'd much rather be a Kiwi with a lower income and laid back lifestyle than a Singaporean with high expectations and a life of hard work).
That sounds amazing.

Are boats and beach houses that much cheaper in NZ? In the US, you have to be quite wealthy, or quite an avid sailor, to own anything more substantial than a dinghy.

T.E.C.H. Foundation and SVB happy hour featuring BUILD
The T.E.C.H. Foundation and Silicon Valley Bank are partnering this month for a special happy hour featuring the local non-profit BUILD (http://build.org/). Your $20 donation will include one drink and light bites. Tickets must be purchased before the event by going here: https://tech-svb-build-fundraiser.eventbrite.com

BUILD's mission is to use entrepreneurship to excite and propel disengaged, low-income students through high school to college success. BUILD serves students that are at highest risk for dropping out of school. By helping disadvantaged students start up and run their own small businesses, BUILD supplements traditional school with real-world professional experiences, academic support, and 21st century skill-building. All of BUILD's business and academic activities foster student proficiency in 21st century skills that research shows prepares students for college and the workforce. Although BUILD now also has programs in Washington D.C. and Boston, it was started right here in the Bay Area.

The T.E.C.H. Foundation is a charitable trust with the goal of encouraging the members and friends of the San Francisco tech community to give back, by combining fun events with interesting charitable causes. For more information, please visit http://techfoundation.weebly.com/.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just wrap the SDL_Window C object in a C++ class? That seems like a lot of boilerplate to just save oneself a destructor call.

Also, I'm not usually one to bash C++ for its syntax (I've written quite a lot of C++ in my days and still use it from time to time) but my god I find that template spaghetti code physically painful to read.

Since the days of our founding fathers we have valued hard work and initiative and I'm glad that many of us still do. Personally I respect the working class poor and I feel that most of my peers do also, it gets sticky when efforts are made to artificially raise their positions with handouts rather than hands up. I don't think that the others are tolerated for their potential, rather esteemed for their initiative and dedication.

If you have work 100 hours a week to barely survive, then you are doing something wrong.

Building a business is very much a roller coaster ride.

You work hard to land a couple of deals. Then you work harder to make sure those deals stick. Then you figure out a way to hire or contract out the rest of the work. Then you try to land more deals and so on.

Hopefully, one day as a founder you are able to work as much or as little as you want and the business will still thrive.

Then, of course, you look to sell.

I don't the idea of extremes: "It's easy to build a business, I can do it on 15 hours a week." or "I have to work 100 hours just to break even and make payroll."

If you are doing either one of those, you have a problem, in my opinion.

Your opinion might be unpopular here, given the venue, but I agree with it. Social applications and cloud applications are predatory by nature, if not necessarily intent. They exist to make money, and do so by adding (in many cases) unnecessary complexity to processes which don't actually need it.

Not that I have anything against startups making money per se, but I like having locks whose only purpose is to make it harder for people to break into my place and steal my stuff, not to monetize my ability to do so. What Nest is doing may or may not wind up being a net gain in terms of power usage and efficiency, but as with any company, they will optimize for profit, not the convenience or freedom of their users. I just want a thermostat to make the room hotter when I turn the knob, and not possibly break because of a firmware glitch or because of an exploit in their website.
