My employer has no place asking me to do anything on my personal social media. I'd have a huge problem with this.

Personally I try to never cross the line between work and play with my social media accounts.

I also know people who would never update their linkedin or facebook with current employment information because they don't want people know what they are doing. The reasons range from avoiding recruiter spam to avoiding violent ex-boyfriends.
Regardless of how horrific their crimes were we can never really be certain enough of their guilt to kill them

That's a strange thing to say categorically. So if we have a lot of witnesses, video, a manifesto of motive, physical evidence, etc... we can't be certain enough to feel that someone should be permanently removed from the world?

If google allowed paid links that passed on page rank, SEO instantly becomes pay to play. Preventing a situation where it only takes money to rank is in Google's best interest because it promotes a healthy internet ecosystem.
Maybe you should stop trying to dictate to others how they use or not use their sexuality? After all, it's theirs, not yours, and your opinion about how that is well used is largely irrelevant.
The link takes me to an empty HN page.
One reason to justify Google's cut is that on an advertising deal where the Advertiser gets billed for each click (CPC) on his link on someone else website, having a reliable third party to count the clicks is very important.

Click fraud is what makes Tier 2 CPC networks really risky for advertisers even if CPC are much lower than Tier 1 (Adwords, Bing).

Regarding your Adsense example, was there not a mention like "Ads by Google," "Sponsored Links," or the AdChoices icon ? In that case, it makes clear that it's not a natural link.

I'm not so sure. Let's assume you're paying someone $15/hour and she actually costs you $25/hour. Assuming a 10 minute break every hour (that's gotta be tiring work and you want to hold onto your employees), then that's 2500/(80 * 50) = 0.625 cents of labor cost per LED. I don't know what all the other costs are, but that one operation seems surprisingly cheap.

Rob Will is on Polunsky DR and likely innocent considering he was handcuffed at the time, zero physical evidence, and his partner confessed to the murder. DA is a stepping stone to governor and senate there is much incentive for DAs to seek the death penalty due to all the media attention these trials receive, propelling the DA into a household name.

There's being opinionated, then there's being an ass, and I think there's far too much of the latter on the kernel lists.

If you look at the modern nerd, compared to the generation that birthed the kernel, they're more socially aware, fashionable animals that are more interested on working on sexy, visible things. Why spend your day dealing with bad attitudes and timing bugs when you can pick up $200k+ writing Ruby apps that enable sharing 5 second video clips?

I doubt the kernel will ever be starved for new talent, just that the ratio of people willing to work on it or deal with the social norms it entails is shrinking all the time.

I ised to work in electronic subcontract engineering. They had some automation (little pick and place machine with oven and screen printer; a flow oven for populated PCBs) but there was a lot of work done by hand.

It was a terrible time of my life and it informs a lot of my opinion about poor management and inefficient working and about ISO900x quality assurance systems.
Agreed, and I don't love that label. In my experience, when someone uses the term "lifestyle company", nearly always that someone is incentivized by funding businesses. Translation: "A company that won't butter my bread, so meh". Insinuation: "People who don't pick up what I'm laying down are second-rate; not alpha entrepreneurs".

So I find the term somewhat derogatory. Instead, I would call a profitable, sustainable company, a "company" -- the presumed norm.

There's nothing wrong with getting on the other-people's-money treadmill, but there's nothing inherently superior about it, either. It's one choice, and AFAIK a relatively unusual one in the wider world.
No offence, but a designer posts a drawing on Dribble. A UX Architect, explains every step in the process and how and why it works that way. Notification Center gives you information that happened, but not that you might need and the two finger pinch is to limit the number of buttons required for the action. It is also a natural action to make something bigger to see more, like a picture. The beauty with this concept, is that if you don't like it, you don't have to use it, everybody's happy!
" Admittedly, I'm not entirely sure why being a non-linear transform gets the OP so riled up."

Because it's harder to calculate mentally

One can approximate 2lb to 1kg roughly, 1mi ~ 1.6km, but for Fahrenheit this is harder

One solution is to establish a set point ( 70F = 21.1C, approximate to 20C ) then work in differences, since 1.8deltaF = 1deltaC so, 2dF ~ 1dC (or 10dF ~ 5dC)

Hence, 90F is approximately 30C (exact value, 32.2C)

I don't understand all these negative comments. I love the re-design, and I love the general idea of re-designs.

In high-school we used to have 'focus correction areas' where our teacher would put up one or two sentences (poorly written or not) and we would spend a couple of minutes fixing them. The lessons I learned in those sessions have stayed with me, even as I've forgotten rest of the material.

One of the reasons I love Stephen Few's books and website[1] is that he takes bad graphs and improves them. You can see the before and after on the same page.

Medium is NOT a blogging platform, contrary to popular belief. Blogging is owning your content, and when you write for Mediium, make no mistake, it belongs to Medium.

Although, I just switched over from Wordpress to Jekyll, and I find it there to be a lot less friction for publishing. I talked more about the new and exciting workflow of Jekyll at http://rmorabia.com/redesign

I really don't agree with the author here. Hackability is what's aided my decision to publish more. It's just that a lot of people get caught up in the hackability more than the publishing.

Also, there's no data backing this post. I've seen plenty of active Hakyll sites. http://gwern.net is my favorite example.

I don't know what you would count as major deployment, but I've deployed a 30-node cluster on HW for running sub-second real-time adhoc queries. I've also run many smaller 10-20 node virtual clusters on open stack. It is a rock solid platform. Our hosted ops loves it because it just works.

The amazing thing about spark is how insanely expressive and hackable it is. The best way I can describe it is this:

* Hadoop: You spend all of your time telling it how to do what you want (it is the assembly language of bigdata)

* Spark: you spend your time telling it what you want, and it just does it

console.log(sum / ages.length);

I think the usefulness of a SSG really depends on your goals. If your goal is simply to publish a blog, perhaps a SSG is not the right solution for you. SSGs are interesting because they have zero external dependences. I can just deploy my blog to Amazon S3, use CloudFront if I so choose, and never have to worry about scalability or how much traffic my blog can handle. To me, that is more important than the perceived friction that it takes to get a post online.
FWIW, I have heard recommendations for this book as well. Actually, it was recommended to me by my good friend and former commanding officer, whom I consider to be the best officer I've ever served with.
I've been looking at this recently. It looks like an extension of what made TeX so successful: your typesetter is programmable -- and macros can live in your documents, defined at any time -- so any common tedious task can be automated.

Sure, Markdown and the rest have a simple syntax for everything, but what if you're writing a book and want cross-references? Or you commonly use side-by-side examples (good grammar vs. bad grammar, say) and want a macro that generates the appropriate table layout. Or you want some macros which typeset entries in your CV. And instead of crufty TeX macros you can use Racket.

If I weren't already writing a book in LaTeX I'd try writing one in Pollen.
If we're going to stick to a fixed precision numbers, and we're just out to score maximum internet points, you can do it in O(1) by just computing out a table in advance, and for not much storage space since the series grows exponentially.

I mean, if we're going to screw around with the Os let's do it properly.

Sure, but they're not called static blog generators, they're static site generators. They are specifically for people who want static sites, not specifically people who want frictionless blogging.
Hmm, if I understood that code it could be written like this:

> That statement is not wrong.

Yes it is. Unless you use Erlang or OS processes you are sharing memory. Or rather you not sharing it any more or less than all the other technologies you listed.

But I agree with your sentiment in general that shared memory and concurrency are not working well. That is why it is worthwhile learning Erlang if you want to be reliable, fault tolerant concurrent systems.

Also nothings stops your from using queues and threads so data is local to each thread and gets copied over the queue.
"I feel that Hakyll sites are least updated and most abandoned. Of course, there are outliers. But I am focusing on the majority."

"Not often updated and mostly abandoned" describes most blogs, no matter which technology is used to create them.

It's true that static site generators are not frictionless, but I think they have the least friction of any non-hosted alternative---at least if you can keep from screwing around with the generator all the time. Hosted alternatives are a completely different matter.
I saved enough cash to last me for more than a year, took some time off to chill out, think and make plans, then work found me. You know all these times someone asks you if you can do this or that for them, and you had to say no because you didn't have the energy to do it well in addition to your job? Yeah, you just stop saying no. Then you do it _well_. Word gets around. More folk ask. Eventually you start saying no again, because you're fully booked.

This is where it again gets a bit tricky - don't over-commit, you don't want to deliver bad work because you're rushing, this business is very much about reputation. And don't forget the overhead. You can and should automate the meta work (invoicing, accounting, etc.) as much as possible, but it will still take some time. Don't forget to take a break and relax either. Give yourself a 20% Friday to play with new stuff or just go swimming. Enjoy the freedom of being your own boss.

Now, if you've done it well, you can pick your projects. If you get a lot more requests than you can work on, raise your rates until things balance out. Don't be an idiot and undervalue yourself, it's an open market, use it or get exploited.

That initial cash reserve? Keep it. Rebuild it when it drops low. It both acts as a safety belt (what if you break an arm and can't type for a month, huh?) and it gave me the piece of mind I needed - I don't think I could've done it without the assurance of looking at an Excel sheet that said at the bottom "n more months before you either have to make profit or go be a wage slave again" (yeah, make a budget, you'll thank me later).

My first client was the company I left. Most of my other clients are from contacts I have made during my work life, either their side projects or places they had moved on to, or because friends they recommended me to. Networking, reputation, and a bit of luck will get you there. Or maybe not. Not everyone is cut out for it, and if you aren't loving it, maybe consider that the slightly sticky embrace of employment wasn't so bad after all. I for one can't imagine going back there.

As clever as that may be, it is still a workaround for a problem that shouldn't even exist.

Astronauts on Soyuz and Shenzhou do not have any problem with vibrations making the screen unreadable. That's because they don't have a vibration problem. Soyuz and Shenzhou are launched on liquid rocket boosters.

Similarly, astronauts on Dragon won't have any problem seeing the screen due to vibrations. The Falcon 9 is also an all-liquid rocket.

The reason that SLS/Orion will vibrate so badly is that it uses solid rocket boosters. The SLS uses SRBs because it is required to use shuttle-derived components. The shuttle used SRBs because they were cheaper than the proper solution of designing liquid rocket boosters.

This sums up, in a nutshell, what's wrong with the American space program. A budget expedient from the 1970s is forcing technical workarounds well into the 21st century.

There are atheists in foxholes, though.
In the UK there's a sort of middle path - contracting/consulting.

You tend to work through agents who have client companies that want someone with extensive domain knowledge to work with them (and usually exclusively with them) for short terms (several months).

The money is better than permanent work, and you get to do all sorts of interesting things, though you do need to be prepared for dry patches. I just bit the bullet, quit work and went for it. In the last two years I've worked with three different clients, and my latest client is an established consultancy in their own right who are hopefully going to keep me on their books as more stuff comes up.

This seems to me far easier than hunting down clients by yourself.

I think what people are taking exception to, is the difference between abstraction users (programmers who are writing concurrent code) who should be able to use high level concurrency idioms to hide their shared state and abstraction creators (programmers who are writing high level concurrency idioms) who need concurrency primitives to make their abstractions efficient.

If we didn't have concurrency primitives, the only high level concurrency idioms we would have would be the ones that made it into the JVM, which is a very slow process.
The title here is slightly misleading- this isn't how LEDs are made, it is how LED dies are packaged. The more difficult part of all of this is creating the dies themselves, which is requires a clean room and all the automated tools I'm sure most people here were expecting to see.

I hope they don't. Go seems like a mediocre language at best: in no way obviously better than Java. Given that they already forked the JVM and added lots of custom class libraries, I'd rather they just forked Java properly and renamed it instead, or switched to another JVM compatible language. Go would have no benefits at all.
Yeah, I wouldn't really consider that a lifestyle business, maybe I'm wrong, but I guess I think there is a middle ground between lifestyle business and "high growth/big exit" business.

Specifically regarding temperature, I don't think Celsius is granular enough, unless you like working with fractions. For instance, in my home, I can feel the difference between 72 F (22.2 C) and 73 F (22.8 C), and I prefer 73 F. Fractions would be just as easy for me to decipher, but there are some dim folks out there that have to be catered to, because they are legitimate consumers.

Regarding other measurements, I agree that metric should be used, because it just makes sense. Millimeters are about as granular as 1/16 inches, so that would eliminate the need to work with fractions in most cases.
I do not want to make assumptions, but because your concerns are regarding potential liability (and rightfully so)if those are single member LLCs (you are the sole owner), then you will not be receiving the limited liability legal protection generally associated with the LLC.
