The best advice for the young man (most techy people at 19 are men, and I assume this onward), is and will always will be:

1)You can never overdress

2)Dance a lot

3)Always ask out the best looking girl in the room.

4)Leave college or any job with a piece of work (thesis, rock opera, example circuit boards, etc)

5)Go left. If your opponent knows you can't shoot left, you are done for. Applies to war, business and arguments.

6)Shake hands very firmly. Especially with women. It's respect.

7)Keep the gas at a half tank. Emergencies happen.

8)Family is more important to most people than their own life, or yours.

9)Use tools, learn to fix your own car.

10)Learn to cook well. Flip burgers and steaks ONCE and ONLY ONCE. DO NOT squeeze the juices out of them.

11)DO NOT become addicted. Do not develop alcoholism or start smoking. Enjoy these things, sure, but chemical addiction is horrible.

12) Set goals every 6 months. Write them down, tell your family about them, post them on your fridge.

Nothing here has anything to do with ambition. That's more a personality trait and isn't really adoptable or disposable. Luck has so much to do with life and business and can't be assumed. But that is OK. Relax, dance, drink wine with your new wife. Play with your niece and grandfather. But hustle your ass off when you aren't. Work hard at things you enjoy. If you don't enjoy them, set a goal for when you are leaving and work on that at least once a day. Happiness is NOT success. Happiness is what you are and if you let others define your happiness, be they heroin or cigarettes or Harvard admissions committee or Palantir or Jeff Bezos, then you are not going to be happy.

I have literally 919 more one-liners and lots of quotes I hope to give to a son someday. Most of it is stupid simple reminders, but some I hope will help that young man along in life.
And what of the commodification of plastics & textiles. Nike still seems to be able to carve out a big profitable chunk with them. In fact, how do you know it's about hardware? What if Apple isn't selling hardware? Is Nike selling plastic & fabric?
The other great part of the lock-in is that it works seemlessly, doesn't send your text messages to the wrong people, nor makes you sign up for Google+, nor outs you to your coworkers.
Having watched the talk now, I see what he's getting at. I have maintained, at most, a small-approaching-medium-sized single-page app, and it was an internal tool. Clearly I have not felt any of the same pain that inspired React.

But within that particular experience, despite my "underpowered" templating tools, I've settled on a style that very close to what he calls "components", built instead from pairs of one partial and one viewmodel. Tightly coupled (cohesive?) within each pair, but as a unit are reusable together elsewhere in the front-end app.

So I can agree in theory, and see where my ideas have wandered close to the path that React takes. Really the only thing to do now is try it on a substantial project to see how it compares in experience. I suspect I'll still feel the urge to want the JSX in a separate file in some cases.
I thought this was refuted:

Considerably different. Mock location data simply provides the location you want over ADB. It is a supplied value.
It looks like that's lower in Sweden, too, but the comments give more of a suggestion of that, not a direct statement.
OK, so crappy DSL doesn't count as competition. But U-Verse vs. cable is not "no competition".
While I don't really agree with everything you said, I I have to say that Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Singapore are the best governed places on earth. I have no idea why the rest of the world don't just copy us. If this sounds like arrogance, then you are right, but it has pretty solid foundations.
I thought this was going to be a story about Zuck being totally wasted, doing lines of blow, and then suddenly shouting to Occulus: "I'll buy it for $2B!"

That would have made it make more sense at least.
> and using string concatenation

React.js uses a "virtual DOM" made up of JavaScript objects, so there isn't any concatenation of HTML strings, just generation of virtual DOM objects. The next step up from that is their JavaScript variant, JSX, which has HTML-like syntax for instantiating those virtual DOM objects.

JSX looks quite like HTML templates, except the programming logic (which in a templating language might be {{if foo}} ... {{/if}} etc) is plain JavaScript. Introduction to JSX here: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html

Slide 49 has a bigger example, and the slide before shows the plain JavaScript version: http://murilopereira.com/the-case-for-reactjs-and-clojurescr...
Hopefully ST3 comes out soon, but in the interim Sublime Text Editor 2 is perfectly fine. In-fact, I wouldn't even care if ST3 didn't even get released because ST2 does the job more than fine as it currently stands, I don't even know what could be improved with exception of out-of-the-box GIT integration, maybe embedded Node.js too. But you can do all of that stuff via plugins now anyway.

Lets stop blowing this out of proportion for just a moment. You paid for an editor and you got an editor: Sublime Text 2. Sublime Text 3 will be a separate purchase and as far as I am aware, Jon hasn't taken any more money for something he hasn't released yet. So what is the issue here? Lets appreciate what we already have, which is an awesome and highly featured editor.
Those are absolutely terrible wheelchairs, built to the specs of 50 years ago, heavy and uncomfortable. They are very difficult to get around in. No one should have to use those.

Please make sure the hamburger menu button on the right and the close X button inside the menu are centred (edit: with respect to one another) - currently, the close button shifts down and left from the position of the hamburger button.

I'd pay good money for an iOS version. I'm limping along with Threema now (which, functionally, is really great!).

I suspect that extremely long but relatively untraveled roads would throw that statistic off. A disused 200 mile long country road across North Dakota would probably easily offset high pedestrian deaths across a few blocks in a city. Sure, you're less likely to die on it.. but you're also less likely to be on it in the first place.

Working in road usage could possibly correct this.
Performance is a huge issue. A better performing wheelchair makes a difference in our independence and range we can go on our own. It also makes a big difference in the wear and tear on our shoulder joints and hands.
Like what? Games? Contrary to enthusiast opinion, games have a pretty short life for most people. Doubt that will be a problem. What kind of enterprise is going to run software without a maintainer? I can't come up with anything else than games for which this is a relevant scenario.
> You should have just conceded the point (it turned out later in the thread that you were wrong to have brought it up). Instead, you relentlessly personalized it. Now you're unhappy with how that went for you. Maybe this can be a learning experience.

My initial issue remains valid, and anyone who reads through the thread can see that you repeatedly attempted to change the focus to personalize this issue towards me. It's like I'm not allowed to offer any feedback, no matter how polite, constructive or valid, while you're around. Your doublethink is egregious.
Thanks. We changed the url.
Maybe, but look at risk in a little more detached of a manner: essentially no one is going to come to the US and get shot. They're going to come to the US and die in a car crash.
Those big name developers would have eventually started to develop if the technology kept advancing, though I would think many more might be hesitant now to even consider it now that it is owned by Facebook.
Show HN: Throne Room, my iOS 7 shuffler app for all you Dominion players
Although the book's title alludes to self help on making friends, the main point IMO leans more toward treating others how you would like to be treated and trying to genuinely understand the other person's perspective.

The reason I'm offering this book in particular on HN is because PG had recommended reading an unrevised version if possible. I'm sure many others are just as excited as I was to get a copy.
I think you're right. The line that made me think that something might change is:

"we changed the basement trying to keep most of the building unchanged."

The "most" part made me wonder what obscure part of userland it would be.
The value of shock absorbing for manual wheelchairs isn't just in efficiency, it would be also quite valuable for making it less painful to go over bumps. Even going down a relatively city sidewalk is exhausting from the bumps and cracks, because jolting adds to the pain of sitting upright if your spine or pelvis are already in pain. Efficiency is also great though!

>Hopefully ST3 comes out soon, but in the interim Sublime Text Editor 2 is perfectly fine.

Better than that: ST3-dev has been perfectly fine for over 6-8 months -- and I've even use package control, 8-10 add-ons, custom themes and everything with it.

I remember printing off hundreds of pages of video game cheat codes/walkthroughs on the internet at the local university's computer lab in 1995. That was the first time that I got free information from the internet that I would have otherwise had to pay for. Before that, the only place to look that stuff up was in magazines like Electronic Gaming Monthly. Hell, Nintendo had a paid hotline for cheats.
My parents had me drive a VW station wagon with a Bug engine, automatic transmission and AC. I think I could walk faster. I think the only ticket I could get was for going too slow.

Who wants to spend billions on infrastructure they are forced to lease out at wholesale rates to competitors?

The government should, but they wouldn't lease them out to competitors, but providers who happen to be in competition with each other. Make the last mile a utility, like sewers.
All of those things? Plus the new StreetView cars are running LIDAR as well.

Major projects like this have a ton of hardware limitations.
Right, there is a disparity — so, explain why it shouldn't instead be Comcast paying Level3?

Even if you want to privileged "sending" as being more charging worthy since you control what you send— in this case it's Comcast customers that have requested those bits, hosts connected to the level3 network are providing them.

Networks like comcast have built out imbalanced networks which likely wouldn't exist without their access to monopoly infrastructure. Practically anyone they peer with except other consumer broadband monopolists is going to be unbalanced.
Sorry, I apparently have a false memory of that. Maybe I was mixing up your history with that of Stuart Halloway.
Well, on the other hand:

1) ST2 worked perfectly all this time.

2) I've used ST3 (dev builds) extensively and professionally for a year with no problems whatsoever, including package management, add-ons, custom themes, linters, etc.

3) It's far more likely he took a break working on it for those 4-5 months, and those "4 small items" just represent stuff he changed after he started again (recently), and not what the actual future pace of development.
The Install in Chrome thing doesn't appear to work. Won't allow me to save even when the Keyword field is empty. Not sure if that's a Chrome thing or DDG thing.

EDIT:

Sorry, it looks like it installed the first time. I tried to do a search. It kept using Google. So I thought it didn't install. I tried again. The keyword had already been installed, so it didn't work. Turned out it was already installed and I had to manually set it as my search provider.
Incredibly misleading. 0% equals 0% when 0% is actually 0%, not 2.9%.
FFS Selling to Valve would have convinced developers to build for it too.
>That said, only four items on the release log in 6 months? And sidebar icons, at that? Not that I think you need to crank out a new version every six months, but... I wonder what's been going on there since Christmas.

How about taking a break because of burn-out? (Previous ST2/ST3 schedule was hectic).

I bet my money those items represent what he did AFTER he started again (like, last 1-2 weeks), not an actual 6-month development period.
If Comcast doesn't like the amount of bandwidth their customers use watching Netflix, they always have the option to notify their customers and null-route or otherwise stop Netflix from working at all. However while it "works" but sucks they appear to be doing their jobs while their customers blame Netflix for sucking while largely being unaware that it's actually Comcast that sucks.
Less than you might think. Studies have consistently shown that experience matters much more than age. Though holding experience constant 17 year olds are more likely to get in accidents than 22 year olds, an 18 year old with two years of driving experience is much less likely to get into an accident than a 25 year old with 1 year of driving experience.

Furthermore, accident rates start increasing with age at only the mid 20's, perhaps due to decreasing reaction time with age.
Nono, this isn't Microsoft. It'll be something like Facebook Matrix Feed.

GCM payloads are fully encrypted. Google would be able to tell that you are a TextSecure user who is receiving a message, but they cannot tell who the message is coming from nor can they look at its contents (obviously).
I would more often use the search bar than the tabs, so I'd reverse the choice.

Elixir has Lisp-style macros with a Ruby syntax. It's not quite as close to the AST as a Lisp, but I think the trade off hits a sweet spot. For example:

quote do
1 + 1
end

returns:

{:+, [context: Elixir, import: Kernel], [1, 1]}

which, if you squint at it, starts to look a little Lispy.
The second generation had pretty good value for money. It's a bit long in the tooth now, but you make it sound like it was bad when it came out.
You cannot do better than our eyes. The dynamic range of eyes plus the bit depth are unparalleled in any camera. We're also backed by a very strong pattern matching algorithm.

That said, stereo runs pretty damn fast these days. On ASICs. TYZX, who was bought by Intel, sold a stereo camera about 3 years ago that ran ~52 fps with full point cloud returns. I think those were running 2+ Mpx.
The affidavit the FBI filed makes a pretty strong case that they were the same person. It seems likely the multiple DPR idea was an attempt to cover tracks.
Meh. There's really not that much difference between most industrialized countries for those in the first standard deviation (aka. most people).

It's kinda like the Olympics, if you're in the top 10 you're doing fine.

If one is selecting a country to live in, it's likely better to optimize for your own situation rather than optimizing from a bunch of HDI/GDP/Freedom type reports.

It's like a friend said of China, probably one of the most free places on earth because he could stay out drinking all night. For him it was more important that bars were open because he likes to drink than it was to be able to protest the government.

For instance there is pretty much no way I'd ever live in Singapore; Singapore makes US drug policy look downright progressive.
Agreed. One of my sites is ranked 490,000 or so in Alexa. The worst month in the last year was 165,000 visits.
I use DDG for most searches. The new site looks better but that's not helpful if I can't read it. I'm not 22 with good eyesight. At a minimum, there has to be a button available to fix the contrast issue.
Well, in development in general, even an 1 item changelog can represent months or even years of work. E.g

Foobar Language:
* Now has a JIT

It's not like the changelog is a "commit log". It represent 4 new features.

Plus, the real news is that ST3 development shows signs of starting again after a hiatus.

lol.

We got burgled last year, my laptop with an unencrypted drive was stolen, and I thought it was a good opportunity to be more grown up about passwords, so moved to 1Password. When heartbleed happened, I will admit that I didn't have the heart to change every last one of them (300+) again.
That spinning-scrolling effect is really neat.
The paper that was refuted claimed DPR was linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, this paper traces the path of the bitcoins seized by the FBI and provides an estimate of how many bitcoin remain in DPR's possession.
Especially considering the conditions that qualify as "no poverty" by the U.S.'s rather low standard. If you make $20k and live in a trailer park in Idaho with no medical coverage, you're not in poverty according to the US, but your quality of life is lower than that of a rural Swede.

Sweden also has considerable inequality, but the lower bound on basic infrastructure is better. If you live in a rural area in the far north and make barely any money, you still generally have solid permanent housing and access to high-quality medical care (this wasn't always the case, but has mostly been achieved as a result of concerted effort). You may have nearly no light in the winter, but there's not much the state can do about the latitude.
There was a Planet Money podcast episode[1] which mentions that Americans are far less likely to wear a seatbelt, at least compared to Germans but also probably Scandinavian countries as well.

According to Wikipedia[2], the US is definitely worse than Sweden, Germany, and Norway in terms of seat belt usage. But at least it's better than Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic.

I suspect this is a big factor in road deaths.

Depending on Facebook APIs for your well-being is only a good move if you're a total masochist. Easily the worst web API I've had the displeasure of having to code around.
Torrenting moves large amounts of traffic into last mile infrastructure which tends to already be congested because its very costly to upgrade.

Due to using many distinct flows it also tends to not be very TCP friendly and takes a fairly unequal share of the bandwidth. And while users will give up and do something else when their interactive service becomes slow, a congested torrenting host keeps torrenting.
I'm the author of Cursive, a Clojure IDE based on IntelliJ. Cursive currently has a fairly minimal and occasionally frustrating debugger that I'm planning to improve soon. That said, I use it all the time and it works pretty well. It's really nice to be able to debug a REPL session. Currently breakpoints and stepping work well, and expression evaluation somewhat works but is pretty quirky. Types and names are all currently displayed as Java, unfortunately. I'm planning to have a debug REPL per stack frame when I get around to upgrading this part. I'm hoping to get to this sometime within the next month.
This is already in progress [1].

Well, it also fully works and its fast.

Atom is a proof of concept at the moment. I don't even expect a "html5 based editor" getting prevalent.
> I find the contrast to be perfectly fine.

Which is why you chose to write your comment in a low contrast colour.
Don't forget the third and fourth tenets of Facebook API design: "Don't document anything, but if you must, do it poorly."
Multiple user account had a similar pre-release. It wasn't initially meant to be seen, but the crafty users a lot of Android developers are, we figured out how to start using it. A future update of Android made it a regular feature. Same with Apps2SD, although the community design wouldn't work for most users, the Android saw value in the project and came up with a solution that was more user friendly.

I wouldn't be surprised if Android v.next had this feature built-in, but it might require a newer API version.
I've used it recently as excel on steroids. As in, you have a lot of data and you want to make a 20 page .pdf report with lots of charts and nice page breaks.

I did this by editing a python script in vim that did everything, and just %load it in ipython every time I changed it (only a few keystrokes - not instant but ok), but ipython's magic is putting all the matplotlib charts in a nice html package (you can also mix markdown/text/html), that I can then run nbconvert to html & print to pdf (with only a few hacks / frustration).
And if you're going to be using something to derive keys and store the results, you might as well just pump out a random string and stash it in the password management app of your choosing :)
