I like to get on early if I'm not already super comfortable. A: Get comfy, get drinks, and get to sleep or into a book. B: Turn off all the TVs in vision since half the people don't actually watch and won't figure out how to turn them on.

Also I've found that a lot of people have an affinity for taking the better seats (last row of front cabin on a lot of United's fleet has space under the seat in addition to in front). While you can let them know and ask them to move, it makes you feel a bit like a jerk, especially if they switched seats to sit next to a companion. Or if they got "confused" and took the other side to avoid the sun and then say "oh I'm sorry, do you mind taking mine or shall I move my stuff over to the other side of the cabin"?

This doesn't seem to happen in proper First cabins.

Like it or not, religion (or more correctly, spirituality) is a big part of being human, especially when expressed as art. I think ever since the Age of Enlightenment we've made a big mistake in dismissing anything that can't be rationally explained by science as "silly supernatural fairy tales". We're relying too much on our senses and logical thinking, and neglecting feeling and intuition.

Yes, did you notice that Salon edited "Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen?"

Salon's version:

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory Hallelujah

The original:
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Glory hallelujah!
It's for long term offsite backups/archival. If you need to retrieve lots of data from it on a regular basis (e.g. because of a single dead drive) you're doing something wrong.

If our office burns down, and I had our offsite backups in Glacier, the retrieval costs are peanuts compared to cost of losing the data (going out of business). If my home burns down, and I have my offsite backups in Glacier, a few hundred dollars to retrieve data would be nothing compared to the emotional loss of years worth of photos etc.

But I have triple copies at home - minimum - of almost all of my data (mirrored drives + regular snapshots on a third drive; and a lot of the stuff is also synced to/from one or more other computers), and similar setups at work: An offsite backup is last resort.
Ask HN: How do you remember names?
I just went to a conference and it was bad. I forgot the names of people I met not more than 15 minutes later. I felt terrible that I didn't know their name while they knew mine.

Do you all know of any good tips for remembering names?
Are you saying this is a bad thing? Personally I think it's a good thing that the duplicate detector is easy to get around. Allows for submissions to get multiple chances.
You're coupling your 3rd party dependencies too tightly with your app logic, so that's why its so brittle. Start wrapping those functions.

This is not an example of a unilateral agreement because:

- Dropbox allows you to opt out of the commitment to arbitration.

- If you agree to always arbitrate then the exception for intellectual property disputes applies to both parties, not just Dropbox.

No, it doesn't. It's actually the complete opposite because you know, 'though shall separate those things that change frequently from those that don't'
I don't think this is the right approach. I'm fairly certain, after reading their website and git repo, that dat really does only deal with textual data. As someone that deals with huge datasets on a daily basis, text files are really out of the question. I have to rely on netCDF or HDF5 for my data stores.

I could be missing something here so anybody more knowledgeable should chime in.
I generally just cross out such legal vomit upon reading it, to reject any implied assent for down the road, but mainly to keep my own head straight.
You beat me to the punch. Purdy's book has been far too obscure for far too long. He was the first to awaken me to this cultural deviance and I've been stuck with seeing it everywhere ever since. While it may be too simplistic I blame, J.D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye and Holden Caulfield almost entirely for this plague of irony. I sincerely wish the creepy Salinger had been lost in the war. As a culture we would be the better for it.

When I read For Common Things I thought perhaps it could be the bell weather of change. Instead it was mostly ignored. He was remarkably young and remarkably brilliant when he wrote it and it gave me hope for the for the influence of his generation. Alas...

This article made me realize what it is that I find so absolutely compelling in DFW's works. I find his suicide not the least surprising in light of his remarkable sense of sincerity. How could one with such sensitivities continue in this brave new world of snark.
Thanks for doing this, please keep us updated if you get a response that you can share.

Our team has just switched back to HipChat as we have more and more remote workers. I'm the current owner of the account, and I don't want the ability to be able to read private chats. I don't want anyone else taking over as owner being able to read my private chats.

By all means, allow it as an option for customers that feel the need to spy on their employees, but let us turn it off.
I agree with this, but I have to say that my favorite piece of writing on the subject still has to be Lea Verou's blog post: http://pensieve.verou.me/post/54853162595/on-women-in-tech It's also a bit more substantial than this (fairly short) piece.

If you're not interested in the subject matter, you should at least look at the article to see all the typographic features in the font.
It might not be optimal; however I wonder if most of the primary sources this is intended to target (i.e. govt) prefers to use textual data?

That's not true dude. If you're following actual linear development you're likely to see a lot of 'poke build' and 'change css' and stuff like that. Git rebase -i gives you a change to rename your commit and organize it in a readable way.

So git rebase -i will be more readable, while actual linear history is always gibberish.
Yeah, they're hidden away in their git repo [1]. They have a good set of example usage commands [2], and a nice introductory document explaining what dat is [3]. Perhaps most important are the technical notes [4] that describe the supported formats.

Although Glacier is interesting and I use it every day for some of my backups (a few TB of ongoing backups via Arq).

But I have always assumed it was just -- like the mysteriously/inappropriately killed comments from jeffers_hanging on this thread claim -- just S3 with hard delays enforced by software.

If you are already doing S3 for the entire world at exabyte scale, and you have petabytes of excess capacity and a bunch of aging, lower-performance infrastructure sitting around... do you really need to fuck with risky new optical disk formats?

It seems to me that you could just start with selling slowed-down rebranded S3, and then iterate on it.
Actually, both the "Nobody knows but Jesus" and "Nobody knows my sorrow" versions are traditional, long-standing versions (and I can't find any clear indication of which is the "original" on the web.) Given the origin of the song, its quite likely lots of variations existed before it was written down.

Salon didn't edit anything.
Whenever I fly, the TVs auto on to show ads, sadetyt video, and more ads. The only solution I found is to physically destroy the offending devices.
Women tend to choose professions with better work-life balance more often than men. Not sure this holds for minorities (the stereotype is actually that immigrants work extra hard, but I have no specific data).

The author of the article likely believes that women and minorities are united by facing oppression or discrimination, and consequently groups them together as a single category. This cavalier approach to analysis also enables them to appropriate the oppression of certain groups for the others.
Facebook has never been defined by its code. They have had source leak before and no one has cared--it's PHP (heavily customized at that) and not of much worth outside of casual curiosity. The trick is to get a billion plus people to give you the details of your life every day.
We use Flowdock. We're happy with it and it's actually quite fun (custom emojis are a blast). I would never consider using a chat client with this limitation and strongly consider not working for anyone who does.
Same thing I'm wondering. Would've been trivial to add error bars to this figure.
I would urge you to take another look at the flow of your landing page. I have literally no clue what your product does even after reading the infographic at the top of the page a few times.

- GitHub users want a way to help out on open source projects

- waffle.io places a dynamic badge in your GitHub README file for all to see where they can help

- Clicking that badge takes anyone to your public waffle.io board

What?
>I wonder if most of the primary sources this is intended to target (i.e. govt) ...

The second sentence on their website appears to state otherwise: "As a team we have a bias towards supporting scientific + research data use cases."

Edit: Well, on further reading they do go on to say, "What we're building isn't quite ready for prime time yet, but if you want to play around...", so perhaps I should not jump the gun :)
I've personally switched to chruby because I found rbenv too invasive, too. chruby + ruby-install + ruby-build give me everything I could want. (No, I don't use gemsets. No, I don't think they're a good idea, either.)
FWIW I think that the younger generation is realizing they shouldn't afraid to be genuine about their feelings and public statements, unlike Gen X and the older Millenials before them. The world is getting weirder and scarier and the information/entertainment overload is overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. A lot of people are seeking out a real warmth and an un-snarky, eyeroll-free reception to their words and art. Problem is that our culture now forgets nothing. Too much self-reflection, too much nostalgia.
When PCI replaced ISA (which was prior to USB taking off), dealing with IRQs and DMAs was a thing of the past, making that a poor reason to say USB is superior.
I am also confused what this is. I think it is a dashboard of tasks for a GitHub project. If so, why not just use GitHub issues directly for the task list?
I'm a fairly religious person myself, and still find the idea "sans religion, the authentic position is nihilism" to be the fairly ridiculous (unless you broaden the definition of religion so much as to make it unrecognizable). Just because lots of people find meaning in religion -- and even if one assumes that those people are in some deep respect right and everyone else is wrong -- doesn't mean that people who find meaning outside of religion lack authenticity. Beliefs can be authentic and different from yours -- even authentic and wrong.
As always with these discussions, I think it comes down to what you mean by "nihilist". He certainly thought that the end of traditional Christian values was a good thing, which is why many people call him a nihilist. That's not to say he believed in "nothing", Big Lebowski style, though.
"Note: There’s a book written about converting goto code to code without goto in general, but this is a sledgehammer and not necessary here."

Anyone have any idea what the title of that book is?
the benefit of open sourcing my code is that other people can use it or contribute to it. why would i ever want to open source my task queue?

if this is a valid use case, how does this really differ from something like Github issues or a public Trello board?

comparing https://waffle.io/waffleio/waffle.io to https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ/trello-development i'm having trouble differentiating.
I also do this. I'm going to be sitting on the plane for the next several hours, why would I want to get on first?
nothing on the mailing list yet. If I don't see anything by Monday, I'll ask him.
3) Go has turned out to be a nice general purpose language and the compiler won’t be an outsize influence on the language design.

In what sort of ways does self-hosting early influence a language design? Were they hoping to avoid something in particular by delaying self-hosting?
It's beyond arrogant to claim that consumers can't make rational decisions because a third party is just too darned persuasive.

Arbitration blows it. It's funny that you (somebody who claims to be a lawyer) is claiming that lawyers are just so evil that people can't act rationally.

Seriously, though, if you think it'll save someone some time or effort, it may be worthwhile to hit the publish button instead of waiting.

Nope. Any really large government data is not text -- it's mostly in older open binary formats (e.g. weather data in GRIB from NOAA) or expensive proprietary binary formats (e.g. healthcare data in SAS from CMS).
I love the work you typmanus peoplr do. Simply awesome :)
Huh, all of these are fairly jarring and don't really help then overall UX
I don't see any mention of isolation in that datasheet, nevermind an actual voltage spec. Granted I haven't looked super hard, but any USB isolator I've seen only ever does full speed. I recall seeing one chip from ADI that was meant for high speed USB isolation, but that's the closest I've come.
I'm guessing cheap disks.
That sounds incredibly crash-prone. I prefer to fly in one-piece airplanes.
You mean the website-in-an-app-looking-frame right?
That's all intentional. Mini USB cables were stronger than Mini USB ports. Its generally better to make the weaker side of a connector the cheap easy-to-replace cable.
Which part of the C standard would forbid type punning a uint32 to a float32? http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/dr_283.htm suggests that C89 explicitly allowed this, C99 at first glance did not, and was errata'ed to make it clear that this is still allowed. C11 seems to have the same verbiage.

I'm currently reading this book and it's really helped me understand my speech impediment and the traits I have as a result of it - http://www.amazon.com/Out-With-It-Stuttering-Helped/dp/14516....

Sometimes I substitute simple words for more complex synonyms simply because it's easier for me to say.
Vocabulary is so hard. :/

Yes, you're totally correct, though.
For a great counter-argument, see:

I get this. Yes, you could use the GitHub issues board; no problem. But the issues there are not inviting, and it's non-obvious to newcomers if they should pick up a task.

Here you're inviting people - literally, "please, come help us with this" - and making it super-clear that they should jump in. I think there's more to do to make open source projects friendly (better, happier documentation, for a start), but I don't think this is a bad addition at all.

Also, waffles are tasty.
Oh God. I wonder if that wonderful theory of his was invented before or after his enlightenment. Well, at least it's funny.

What's about the rest of your post… You see, I don't think it's about 'mathematical savants' or anything. And, once again, this guy doesn't draw fractals. Anyway, for me it isn't important part about that. "Genius" is just a bold word after all, it means very little if anything at all. Somebody achieved something, or he hasn't, that's all. As it seems to this point with information we have this guy isn't anything but somebody who behaves oddly after damaging his head, which isn't big deal as I believe anybody would agree. Yet if he's loud enough, journals are taking interviews with him, and links to these interviews are posted on HN, and people discuss that magical phenomena with excitement, and he writes a book, and somebody probably buys this book, and somebody with degree in neuroscience writes dubious paper about that and people call it scientifically proven, and some other journalist writes long but pointless article about that, and so on, so on, so on… And even if there was actually something interesting about his case, it's pretty hard to see it now, after all that "mathematical marvel" screaming, especially when no real facts given. I find it sad and much more important than if he is actually a "marvel" or he isn't.

When I start a new job, I take notes on everyone's name, along with a coded physical description. (coded, in case anyone else reads it they won't be offended, usually just the first letter of the descriptive word I'm using)

However, that only works with 5-10 people, not a large group.

Depends on what definition of nihilism you use. I would agree with the first couple of lines from Wikipedia:

> Nihilism (/ˈnaɪ.ɨlɪzəm/ or /ˈniː.ɨlɪzəm/; from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical doctrine that suggests the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

But this does not mean I don't enjoy life, and find meaning for myself. I just don't believe that there's anything objective or intrinsic about it - that is, what gives my life meaning is what I make of it, and nothing else.

One could possibly argue that we derive meaning from our biology - the factors that evokes emotions, beauty, or drives our reward responses, and this represents "objective meaning" in some way, but I feel that's a big stretch, though it is certainly likely to shape your thoughts on what is meaningful.

Not sure if this works for everyone but I try to say their name out loud at least once or twice when they introduce themselves then if it's a name of someone I already know, I mentally try to picture that person next to this new person.

Alternatively before parting ways, I'll try to say their name again for good measure or be honest and ask them for their name again and let them know I have a terrible memory

IIRC there was a similar rumor that S3 reduced redundancy storage was just cheaper rates for the exact same service. Not sure if that is true, but certainly meets the minimum viable product.

Glacier as S3 with sleeps seems to be a pretty reasonable extrapolation of that same idea. Plus, the sleeps are long enough that if and when they build it for real, it could be economically viable.

That said, if the quoted 0.3 cents is true, it should be viable as it is by just stuffing way more density in a rack and keeping them powered down most of the time... Though that rack would probably weigh tons, so you'd probably want to reinforce the floor of the data center a bit. We saw equinix facilities with concrete floors and ventilation delivered from above, so something like that could be an option.
Everyone has been raving about it. Just raised $42 million today too.
Most of the time you don't actually "forget" names, your brain never even registers them to begin with. Next time someone introduces themselves to you take a moment to stop worrying about what to say next and actually focus on the name. It helps if you link that name to a distinct physical property of the person in your mind. I _highly_ recommend reading "You Can Have an Amazing Memory: Learn Life-Changing Techniques and Tips from the Memory Maestro"[0]. I followed the techniques described in that book and the result absolutely blew my mind.
