These so called experts seem to constantly go back and forth between which processed foods are good and which are bad for you. The obvious answer is probably to just avoid processed food all together.

The skeptic in me thinks that these experts are just pawns of the food industry which needs to push processed food as the potential for commercialization is much much higher than with natural food. Don't listen to any of them. Just eat something straight off a tree instead.

Assuming the numbers are reasonably stable it's fairly accurate. Basicly, they don't care if someone waited 10 years they found a tenure track job so there 'in'. Which means some of this years graduates may a need to wait 10 years but the ratio should be close to jobs / graduates.

The same as if there were a visual difference between them: none. GitHub doesn't detect anything besides changes of the file hash. But that suffices for it do display the two images in the new image viewer.
Except that it isn't actually a radio but an oscillator that you could use to build a radio (by mixing the output of the oscillator with some input signal that you want to demodulate, and then to use the LF output of the mixer, aka the difference frequency).

But the article doesn't do that, and then goes off to show how you can turn this oscillator into a primitive (unmodulated, so only a carrier wave) transmitter.

(fun thing to do: wind that coil from thinner wire and demonstrate the microphony effect by talking to the coil, or glueing a plastic toothpick to it and a membrane to make it more sensitive).

If you really want to build a single transistor radio:

>Several of the developers who contacted me for this story said they were fed up with layoff cycles and had left the video game industry entirely. Some told tales of endless relocations and unreasonable hours, and bragged that in their new fields, they were paid more to work less.

Yeah... this isn't exactly news. You work in the gaming industry because you love video games. It's not a career. It's a job you do when you have youth and health and minimum entanglements. When you get married or get older or get just plain sick of working around the clock for not much money then it's time to look around for something more stable and remunerative.

It's ridiculous to compare video game industry jobs with Big Grey Financial Company. If you want comparisons, look at the movie industry, where people get together to work on a project and then all get laid off when it's done.
But I'm guessing that a lot of these devs are really interested in x genre, but they're working in y genre, so why do they take the abuse? Is there just a huge over supply of game devs?

The icon concept was a fascinating thing to see.
That would have helped a lot, yeah. Also, dealing with exceptions in an intuitive way when you have a "fake" stack you're managing yourself is a drag. The performance of of managing your own stack also sucks.

But probably the biggest practical issue is there is a terrible, common silent mistake pattern, that bit us over and over again:

self.do_something_async() # it's a generator

What you really wanted to do was to `yield` this so the reactorish element in the frame above you consumes it. Instead, you created a NOOP generator that is never consumed, so whatever work you thought you did, silently.. does nothing.

Anyway, I think `yield from` helps you get around some of this stuff, but I haven't been keeping up with tulip. Which is probably kind of silly since Guido works like 50 feet away from me.

Btw, hi Donovan. :-)
The very beginning of the article explicitly describes where one of these pop doctors recommended something just because it was natural (agave nectar) and ended up taking it back when it turned out just as bad as the artificial stuff (HFCS).

Thinking that good and bad is as easy as natural and artificial is exactly the type of bad simplification that end up teaching people that GMOs are unhealthy and meat is bad for you. Nutrition is complicated, and if you want to understand it there's no substitute for the research.

Let's also be clear - no one in this article is a nutrition expert.

I think they downvoted you because you're not suppose to question the selection of submissions. It adds nothing to the conversation. If it's on the front page, then people like it enough for it to be there. I learned things like that the hard way. Also, HN has a strange hive mind. Saying the same thing in two different posts can get you downvoted in one and upvoted in the other.
Depends who you are. I would not like EA like working conditions, but I used to prefer working on large projects. Which probably means that I was cog in the wheel in your eyes. No matter, I still found small projects boring and could find challenging position in large project (in general, the rule is not absolute).

Well as far as exaggerations go, equating $15/hr freelance with "slavery" is much more disturbing than any exaggeratioms Über is making.
I eat a lot of sweeteners, but no sugar (sucrose, I still enjoy fructose). The great thing about artificial sweeteners is that they are mostly not as sweet as real sugar and what's most important to me, don't leave the horrible sour after taste that simple carbs do.

These days most things people consider normal are too sweet for me.

As for sugar being evil. It is, for varying definitions of evil. Its biggest problem is that it's just a lot of calories packed into a small volume, so you don't realise how much you've eaten. Surprisingly, once you abolish sugar, it becomes difficult to fulfill your daily calorie needs. When strenuous exercise is involved it becomes downright impossible.

If you don't care about calories, then surely you care about energy fluctuations. Foods high in sugar will give you an instant rush of energy that abates quickly. This leaves you hungry and sleepy, leading to a cycle of being hungry all the time even though you've eaten enough calories.

For instance, I read a study (that I can't find a link to right now) showing that eating oatmeal for breakfast leaves you feeling full hours longer than eating regular cereal even when controlled for calorie intake.

PS: especially for the reasons of those energy spikes, I aim for a low glycemic index diet rather than just a no sugar diet. It tends to describe the desired result better.
This article wrongly implies that people getting English PhDs are only doing so in order to become tenure-track English professors. But I just completed my PhD in English two weeks ago, and I'm also the TECH co-founder of a VC-backed startup. Many of my peers are not just tech savvy, they're also developers, designers, and entrepreneurs. They just also happen to be interested in studying slightly older forms of technology -- literary technologies.

Yes... books and poems and epics and dramas are all technologies, too.

I should hope the HN community isn't fooled by the _New Yorker_ article's professional typecasting. After all, Paul Graham has an entire book called _Hackers and Painters_, and he argues: "Of all the different types of people I've known, hackers and painters are among the most alike. What hackers and painters have in common is that they're both makers. Along with composers, architects, and writers, what hackers and painters are trying to do is make good things." (http://www.paulgraham.com/hp.html).

"Hacking" -- as both Paul Graham and much of my dissertation argues -- isn't a purely scientific discipline. It's also a humanist and aesthetic pursuit.

If you don't believe me, go pick up a collection of Emily Dickinson poems (you know... the things you probably haven't looked at since you were in 9th grade). You might be surprised to discover all of the conditional logic, the programatic loops, and the object oriented structures.

A unicorn agnostic would say "I have no evidence for the existence of unicorns, so there may or may not be unicorns" but a unicorn atheist would say "I have no evidence for the existence of unicorns, so I don't believe unicorns exist".

There are already a few other data portals, and some of them (unlike Socrata) are Open Source.

CKAN in particular is used by a lot of National Governments ( http://ckan.org/instances/ ) , is Open Source, has a reasonably large developer community. It also isn't quite as expensive as some of the closed source commercial offerings.

There are a few more but in various stages of completion/usefulness.

It is a radio and has FM modulation. Doesn't need complicated mixing for FM if you can skew the osc resonant frequency quickly I.e you don't need an IF system. In this case the transducer does that.

Its not CW, as that is switching the osc on and off.

This is as basic as it gets however. Noisy, full of harmonics but nevertheless cool. I've seen stuff not much more complicated than this doing some impressive distance.
Which reminds me that to this day there is no good replacement for Norton Commander (for UNIX systems, of course).

Please, don't even start mentioning Midnight Commander. It is nowhere near as good. Oh, sure, it has a bazillion fancy features, but it just doesn't work that well, isn't as smooth as the original was. Remember, kids, not every file manager that has two panes can be called a "Norton Commander replacement"!

Those of us who grew up using Norton Commander still look at the redesigned ("improved") numpads on modern keyboards and shake their head in horror and disbelief, remapping those keys to what they Should Be.
This seems a little sensationalist. No, the memory role of sleep was not "discovered": a paper proposing a credible theory was published, based on experiments performed on mice. Moreover, the proposition that is being advanced by the paper --- that specific sleep phases strengthen particular neural connections --- has already been made previously, and is generally suspected to be true in academic circles anyway. So the publication of this paper constitutes nothing more than a few (perhaps important) results supplying a bit of further evidence in favour of an already well-supported hypothesis; that is all.

The comparison with the movie industry is obvious, but what about retaining skill and knowledge, which is vital in the software industry?

The tools people use in the movie industry are commodities with relatively slow innovation. People can get by on more or less the same skill set they had 15 years ago, and once the movie has been shot, virtually nobody has gained any new knowledge.

The game industry has to considerably up their game (no pun intended) with every new release. The only way they can keep up the movie-style cycle if a company producing a new game can pick up developers just laid off by someone else.

I doubt if that is sustainable in the long run. At some point hiring new devs with very recent experience will become more expensive than retaining knowledge.

The game industry will always have more dramatic cycles because any company is as successful as their last game, but the current state of affairs just reeks of immaturity.
That does seem like it has a lot of potential to tackle this, though it would probably make game development less attractive (the illusion of a steady job is better than 'well in 9 months you'll be looking for work'). Game dev is hugely attractive of course, so it could conceivably take the hit.

One possible problem with this is what's already been happening with contract CG people in the movie industry. Their work is becoming increasingly devalued so there's a race to the bottom in terms of charging, such that situations like Ang Lee's Life of Pi, where he said something to the effect that he felt he paid too much for CG (I can't remember offhand the exact quote) and the CG people were barely making ends meet. They also aren't being acknowledged at awards, which for some can be a disincentive.
Yes mine does this as well. Totally agree. They went to some insane design effort however for it to remember where it was in the mp3 stream though when you disconnect it for a few seconds to turn the ignition.
you could have linked the original and done us a service instead of just bitching.

That said your comment on it's own is not that out of line. However as a user with no prior karma (-4) you are not really adding to the conversation.

That would definitely be true if there weren't a lot of native speakers of your language in the open source community. The link I gave was (I believe) in Mandarin, and there are a lot of Mandarin speaking individuals in the open source world.

My experience with Coinbase's bug bounty program.
In the end I have mixed feelings. I took a total of 40 days from the original report to be rewarded the bounty. I also think it is important to note that at the time of the report it was posted on Coinbase's website that the minimum bounty payout is $1,000 [1]. I think it is a good idea to share this with the community.

Someone on the #bitcoin IRC channel suggested I request a link to the duplicate bug report that Coinbase claims. I have posted a new comment on the hackerone report requesting the link.

No, what happened is mainly that memory access has become a big bottleneck for most programs, and small footprint and cache-friendliness can easily mean a speed difference of 20x. For a number of reasons (such as Object overhead, UTF-16 strings, lack of true object arrays), it is very hard to write small-footprint cache-friendly code in Java.
I was on no-carb/keto for 6 months. For a while I almost couldn't walk past the sweets section in the supermarket, but after a couple of weeks, I completely lost interest in it. I still had a piece of chocolate here and there, but I could just stop when I wanted to!

I'm still a little sensitive to sweet things. As a child I liked it but after keto it's not as appealing anymore.

Also, eating sugar makes my teeth feel really nasty.
Ask HN: iOS / OS X Continuity + Touch ID = touch to pay in the browser?
Just had a thought based on the recent Apple WWDC announcements of new continuity features btw OS X and iOS as well as the fact that apple is opening up Touch ID to developers:

Would it be possible to leverage these two features together? So that I could swipe on my iOS device in order to pay for a website on my Mac?
Well, he's actually making the world a much better place for people with money who wish to go to these events, but don't have the time to wait in line for tickets.

Normally, for events that are "underpriced" people with more time than money can attend events that people with more money than time can't.

You are making a value judgement that people with time should be allowed to go to events, but people with money should not.

That's fine for you to do, but I don't think you can make a
global statement that people who enable this opportunity for people with more money than time are making the world a "worse place".
Not wishing to at all detract from the egregious inhumanity of what is portrayed, but a notable thought crossed my mind while reading this. Programming has the potential, if we can get past the more superficial, and avoid the dark and exploitative sides, seems to be the only real way to get to a point where we can have a world with quality affordable consumer goods without this kind of rape and murder in exchange for riches.

Doesn't that make you stop and think? Programming has that potential. Sure you can exploit and rob and do horrible things with it as well, but what other profession has the potential to let society have the potential of sustainable affordable riches for all WITHOUT this kind of murder for gain (for that's what it is, part of the life of others taken by force to obtain riches)
