Hippos are very aggressive and territorial. Also, they are surprisingly fast, especially in water. Many wild animals, even predators, won't move towards you unless you come real close. Hippos move towards you even if you just pass by the waterline of the sea that they are in.

Also, Hippos don't kill by biting you. They drown you by dragging you underwater - it's not that they misjudge their force.

Another problem is that they come out at night and like warm underground - streets for example. When I was in Africa last time, there was a horrible street accident with 17 dead as a pickup hit a hippo standing on the road at night. Grey, behind a corner -> bang.

What makes Hippos so dangerous to humans is they we are misjudging them as tame, slow creatures that mind their own thing.
Nice template indeed, used it for my resume as well. Had to alter it to fit German application standards, though (e.g. added a portrait in the side bar, different fonts, etc).
My company's QA team set up a system like that around 1999. There were far too many false-positives, because the GUI intentionally changes all of the time during development. So instead of testing functionality, the team spent all of their time updating screenshots. The worst was when we made a very simple style change that affected every page in the application; they'd have to redo every single screenshot instead of just doing a 5-second test that results in "Yeah, the banner is the right shade of blue now, and I know it's used on every page."
Given the cost of CPU cycles vs Developers I don't think this analogy works.

Sure, you can hire an extra C++ developer for 150k or just give your python developer a company credit card to use for extra AWS machines. I'm quite sure the second option is a lot cheaper.

Google needs publishers. They aren't going to cut off their nose for a short-term gain.

For the sake of argument, I'll take a contrary position (I agree that the post smells like it belongs on snopes.com).

They haven't faced a risk of losing publishers yet. There are plenty of them. IF publishers called BS on Google and quit playing Adsense with them, then they may be forced to take care of the publishers they have. But as it stands, they can very well get away with using publishers until it's time to pay up, then dismissing them without explanation.

I faced this kind of stuff from them as an advertiser. One of my apps throws a red flag every time I advertise it- then I have to wait for human intervention to review, and always without explanation of what I need to fix.

This went on for years- I modify an ad, the ad is banned until review. Every time the ad was allowed, after review, because I am not doing anything immoral.

I implored them to give me the benefit of the doubt, after all these years, and spot-check if they need to. Hell, my grocery story lets me check out my own groceries with only occasional 'audits.'

But not Google. Not even after years.

Ask HN: what is your opinion of meteor?
(for those who don't know what I'm talking about: https://www.meteor.com/ )

Meteor is very "omakase" (opinionated) framework.

It's being developed as a "product" by funded start-up, unlike rails or django which were created to help build a product for a company, and relies on a lot of bleeding edge technologies (mongodb database for example).

It's also competing with products from companies with some really smart people (e.g. blaze vs react by facebok).

I haven't personally worked with any developers who have experience meteor. I was wondering where the communities opinion of the framework stands? Is it an overly ambitious technical experimentation, or the future of web development?
As a new programmer with only Java(Android) under my arms, I find the whole concept of "your language" mind boggling.

IMHO TDD, like a lot of the agile stuff, is a good idea with solid foundations that people get wrong all the time and end up making things worse with.

I think the reason it can go sideways is because the advocates and casual adherents don't accept that for some teams a methodology really may not provide the claimed benefits, or it costs too much elsewhere. It's easier to say "It's not [methodology] that isn't working, you're doing it wrong."

That's a really attractive answer, made all the more tempting because it's sometimes true. But not every software team is the same, operating in the same constraints. People tend to generalize based on their own experiences. Lessons learned about what works for X doesn't necessarily apply to Y. The thing that has been lacking in the TDD/Agile/Insert Fad is a higher level "this is why the ideas worked for us, here are the component pieces and their purpose, this is how to determine the pieces to adopt and how to tailor them to your organization."

You could say that someone out there is making that case, but their voice is drowning under the snakeoil salesmen. I don't hear it up front, the rare times I do hear it is deep into the "you're doing it wrong" conversation when any sense of perspective in the discussion has already been beaten to death.

I was making $1-3k monthly. I logged in at the end of November (*edit: 2012) to see what my Xmas bonus was going to be. Turns out it would be a big, fat zero. Account suspended/canceled.

I submitted a claim and they said: sorry, no - you're done.

There was zero reason to do it. No ToS violations, no fraudulent clicks. Just $30k less in my bank account for the next year. The second most frustrating part, aside from the loss of revenue, is that they won't tell you why or what caused the cancellation.

If you want to use the default, just do 'tmx'. If you want to have multiple windows, themselves shared between multiple terminals, use a label when you use it. e.g. 'tmx second'.

One thing you might find frustrating is that it resizes all the terminals for the screen size of the smallest. If anyone knows a fix for this, please supply.
Companies on this[1] or this[2] list. A lot of what these companies provide (I worked at one) is merely a way to gain insight into your social media profile. Twitter Analytics is an extremely good implementation of this service for free. Twitter also gives you the CSV to mine your own data allowing an individual or company to make correlations that Twitter might not necessarily be able to make.

You're right, Twitter may buy some of those companies but to me, that's still out of business.

You either accept this and do your CV in Gdoc or remain unemployed. Your choice.
Measuring implementations of the same algorithm is how you benchmark algorithms, not a a language as a whole. If a language or library allows for enhancements based on it's strengths (in this case, the ability to code in early exits), those are perfectly valid in benchmarking languages and libraries.

Put another way, one of the benefits of Python (and drawbacks of using an external library) is that you have more control over the algorithm and exactly what it does.

That said, a sample size of one will hardly give you an accurate picture.

This is to me a bit disturbing. When we say this, we are announcing to the world that culture has inherently no value what so ever. The only way to create value from culture is to prohibit poor people from participating, thus creating an artificial divide that benefits those who have over those who haven't.

Governments are the one who enforces this divide with copyright law, so in the end its government that dictate that this philosophy is the one and only truth. I just don't believe that in 2014, we can't find value in culture beyond prohibit people of private, non-conflicting usage.

> Julia is filling in as a great substitute for scientific coding in a single language stack, and Go / Rust / Haskell for the other stuff.

I've been wondering about why so many python devs have migrated to using Go recently instead of Julia, given that Julia is a lot closer to python and has performed as good as, if not better than, Go in some benchmarks [1]. Granted I've really only toyed with Julia and Go a few times as I've never really needed the performance much myself, but I'm curious about your preference of Go/Rust over Julia for "the other stuff".

What would you say makes Julia less suitable (or Go more suitable) for nonscientific applications? Is it just the community/support aspect? Cause that seems like an easy tide to overturn by simply raising more awareness about it (we see Go/Rust/Haskell blog posts on the front page of HN every week, but not too many Julia posts).

Just curious cause I'm not nearly experienced enough with any of these young languages yet to know any better, and have only recently started to consider taking at least one of them up more seriously.

Makes sense if you are the only person running your programs (and you are allowed to ignore things like hardware and power costs).

Also, 2 minutes per change to compile the object files affected and link the executable seems a bit excessive considering the entire Linux kernel can generally be built from scratch in less time than that (assuming a modern system).
> as late as the 90s, code reuse was still an unsolved problem.

But that is about the social and business structures and economics around how computing matured. Zero to do with technology. The technology aspects of code re-use were worked out long ago.
There's no need for a dictionary definition. Just as you just said, diminutives don't normally make it into the dictionary. So, "suelecillo" is a word for "suelo pequeño" whether or not it's included in the dictionary, whether or not you use it regularly. But the reverse is also true. "Bolsillo" is a "small bag", whether or not it has developed a specific meaning that grants it a separate definition in the dictionary.

And whether or not you use it regularly with the original meaning. The frequency of usage does not invalidate this truth: the rules of diminutive formation entail that "bolsillo" is "bolso pequeño". There's no arguing this statement. Just as "mosquito" is "mosco pequeño", i.e. "small fly".

The same can be said for plenty of other words. Words that have developed a specific separate meaning but are still diminutives for the non-affixed original word. Meet polysemy.

Sorry, but "cochinilla" is still "cochina pequeña", "cabezón" is still "cabeza grande", "cabecilla" is still "cabeza pequeña", and "frailecillo" is still "pequeño fraile".

It would be mistaken and a bit obtuse to nitpick on an article which states that "cabecilla" is Spanish for "small head" by contending that no, it means "leader".

C-a <TAB> is bound to the "focus" command. "focus" can receive parameters ("up", "down", "top" and "bottom") Without parameters, it defaults to "down", which is why you cycle downwards with you press C-a <TAB>.

To tab backwards, you call "focus up". It's not bound by default, but you can bind to, say, C-a U:

bind U focus up

and from then on "C-a U" cycles upwards.

As for the bans occuring a few day before payout, I'd be prone to think that the automated checks for such activity are not run in real time, but at a scheduled time close to a payout. That would explain why so much bans happens before payout (well, excluding malice from google)

Yet, numpy exists for python, so why can't you use it in a comparison? Why can't you use libraries for languages? The python approach is all about gluing bits together, not staying within a pure walled garden.

Also, python is not an implementation of python.

These benchmarks are always funny, because real systems use different components, yet the benchmarks stick to some fake, non-real-world way of measuring.

Oh, the garbage collection in java pauses for multiple seconds soemtimes... but it's not slow because we ignore that in our benchmarks. Oh, it's not fast the first time, because the jit hasn't warmed up? Let's ignore that in our benchmarks too. Um... yeah. Good one.

This benchmark is also flawed to since people would probably use numexpr in the real world. Which is much faster than plain numpy. So python would be even faster than they say.

Mercurial(hg) is now faster than git. Git is written by great C hackers (including Linus no less), and yet hg is faster than git. See the facebook benchmarks for evidence.

Using the right tool for the job can mean using multiple languages together for where they are best. Want clarity and performance? Then C/asm + python is an ok combination.
tmux uses a client-server model. This runs into issues on OSX because when the server detaches it loses context within the window manager and then launching (e.g.) MacVim from that tmux session will cause the window manager Copy-Paste to stop working (because the OS doesn't think the process has the requisite access level).

On the other hand, it makes it a lot easier for multiple people to connect to the same tmux session. In GNU screen (at least prior versions), there was an explicit check for 'uid == 0' before allowing some of the screen-sharing features (iirc). This meant that even if you chmod'd all of the sockets/ttys that needed it, screen would still refuse to operate in that mode unless the process was setuid root.
Do you have any specific publicity available code which you claim is too slow in python? Otherwise, I don't believe you.

For example, hg is now faster than git. Git is written by great C hackers (including Linus no less), and yet hg is faster than git. See the facebook benchmarks for evidence.

Python has static checking of interfaces, and types if you want. It also has IDEs which can check a lot of things for you. It turns out that dynamic typed languages can be checked for quite a lot of things.

A problem is that it's not necessarily more accurate. What Wikipedia wants to be, and which I think is valuable (though it's not the only valuable thing) is a summary of the best published information on any given subject, with references to that published information backing it up. So if I read a Wikipedia article on, say, Treblinka, I expect to get a summary of what historians think happened there, with references to where they say so. Where they don't agree or are unsure, I'd like a neutral explanation of any significant areas of uncertainty or historiographical dispute (with citations to the relevant sides), etc. I really don't expect to get a personal recollection by one Wikipedia editor's grandfather of what happened there... especially if that recollection contains information that isn't consistent with what's written in the mainstream histories.

It's possible that the recollection may sometimes actually be better than the mainstream histories, though in such a well-studied subject as WW2 concentration camps I think the odds are fairly low. But in either case I think that's a job for someone other than Wikipedia: Wikipedia's job is to summarize the current historical understanding. Revising the current historical understanding in light of new information or arguments is a different and very large job in itself.
A lot of people are criticising the condensed nature, lack of whitespace, etc.

A significant part of my job is to review CV's for a living and if I received a CV/Resume in this format, I'd be quite pleased as all the relevant info is easily spotted.

A good resume (with design related roles being an obvious exception) doesn't need to be 'pretty'. It needs to be easy to read and easy to find relevant info at an initial scan. Your template ticks both of those boxes.

I'm sure it could be prettier but when I'm reviewing resumes for engineering positions, I couldn't care less about aesthetics. I care about attention to detail and relevancy.
Conceptually this is a pretty cool idea! I easily see the applications around web browsing or reading a doc, but a few practical problems stand in the way.

Navigation and clicking with the keyboard will be a huge problem. How could I move the mouse pad and simultaneously click? The demo video uses gaming, but most games still require use of both clicking on keys and a mouse click. If I tried to hold down a key on the keyboard, but wanted to click at the same time...do I have one finger move in mid air above some random part of the keyboard?

Hopefully there's continued refinement though...I'm surprised there hasn't been much thought about replacing extra keys with more customized multi-touch gestures.
