I admire the earnestness and innocence that makes a serious discussion of this possible. I, unfortunately, do not share those qualities. Trusting Facebook to provide "ephemeral messaging" is like trusting a dog to keep a roast beef sandwich safe.
Yes, words change meaning, especially when they're imported across language boundaries. Originally mana DID mean something like spiritual power, and is heavily linked to terms for thunder, lightning etc.

Currently it's used in NZ to mean prestige, but it's original sense was much broader - a tree that grows well has mana. Gods have mana. People get mana through (1) their heritage (i.e. high status families have more mana), (2) from other people i.e. we give a sportsperson mana because we respect their ability to kick a ball, and (3) via the group (e.g. if I'm part of a prestigious group, some of thir mana reflects onto me).

There's a good article on it here: http://www.justice.govt.nz/publications/publications-archive...
Did This City Bring Down Its Murder Rate by Paying People Not to Kill?
Uhh... did you miss the entire third of the post where I specifically talked about cooking in the city?

Like any security measure (think of IT security), there are counter-measures. The value of security is that it raises the cost of defeating you.
The idea of a pragmatic plan to get in shape appealed to me as a programmer, but I read this kind of language and cringe:

"Feel Better. Code Better. Level Up."

"Being healthy will make you a better programmer."

I think the "hacker" market can be captured without being so patronizing.
What would happen if you put the camera closer to the outer part of the wheel, rather than nearly centered on the hub?

Could Horizon still create a stable-ish video out of that (where the position and rotation of the image are both changing rapidly), or does this require a relatively stable position to work this well?

(I have no particular dog in this hunt, I'm just curious.)

EDIT: I see that Kayou asked the same question, probably in a smarter way, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7904992 but I don't see a response from petrakeas or stelabouras yet, so I'll keep my question here even if it is a little redundant.
Can you direct me to a more thorough resource or are methods too cutting edge to be discussed outside the corners of the internet?
I'm assuming that a full-fledged DAW cares a lot about latency. Live performance becomes difficult when latency creeps much above 5ms, for example. A lot of things that you normally don't think about (like when to allocate a buffer of memory) become critically important with low latency requirements.

That isn't an issue for the demoed app, but it is for the hypothetical longer-term goal under discussion.
Technically, in baseball, the lower market teams get paid out of the luxury tax. Sometimes those payments exceed their team salary. The competitive argument sounds nice, but is more for the owners than competitiveness.

"Keeping the business world artificially competitive is an interesting idea, and not as bad as I initially thought."

I have no understanding of why it is a good idea or how, given CEO's and businesses are not teams competing for a trophy how it is even relatable.
I don't know about Joomla but Wordpress and Drupal are hardly falling out of favor; they're actually both growing quite rapidly.

Developing a custom CMS makes sense for exactly one type of company: a publisher whose entire business depends on their CMS. For companies in that situation, developing a custom CMS is a capital investment in their core product.

Everyone else will save time, money, and security headaches by building on a popular open source platform. Heck even Twitter uses Drupal to power their developer site.
By CS fundamentals, I refer to data structures, algorithms, and their implementations, distributed systems, OS etc.
As far as I know, yes. Generally speaking, the medical establishment was far more restrictive (overly so) in giving trans people the treatment they needed back then.
What's scummy about a server owner giving me a nice starting house in return for a payment? What's scummy about a server owner giving me /feed or /fly in return for payment?

There's nothing deceptive; there's nothing unfair about offering a free server with perks (anyone is free to pay or do without). I'm an adult, and I choose how to spend my disposable income.
That was a slick transition from healthy conversation to self promotion

That's why you want something that functions as a Shear pin. Basically, you don't want to have it attached in such a fashion that it could gain those kinds of speeds.
Similar sorts of "not very good mission planning" occurred at the beginning of Linebacker II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Linebacker_II Nixon bombing Hanoi etc.). It was initially run from SAC HQ in Omaha.... I wouldn't be surprised by equivalent micromanagement a few decades later, and the North Vietnamese also achieved some B-52 hits with salvo techniques.
I feel like I have a disincentive to share salary info with recruiters - they'll just give that to the company for whom they are soliciting me. I know that's less true in the agency model you've talked about before. What's your advice on when it is and isn't appropriate to discuss current salary and salary expectations with a recruiter?

Edit: a specific scenario from earlier this year. I was cold-contacted on LinkedIn, the job sounded interesting, so I talked with the recruiter, ended up applying, interviewing, and declined an offer. I told them the range I wanted, they asked what I was making. I dodged the question, so they asked if it was more-or-less X, and I confirmed. Turns out that when they talked to the company, they said I had wanted about 10k less than I had actually said I wanted. The number they said I wanted was a 10% bump on my current salary, and it seemed to me that they were trying to find out the lowest number they could give that would still be a 10% raise. It seemed pretty scummy to me, and I'm not going to work with him again.
There are 5 fields to fill out to sign up? At the very least, provide a Facebook or other one-click sign in option.
Awesome! thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to read those articles.

Great to see I'm not alone with this crazy idea. When writing the previous comment I actually started thinking if I would pay someone to actively look for the best job I can get at any given moment, and that I would probably pay for that happily. Of course, you make a serious point about considering that same payment after X years in a stable job (e.g. I've been with Google for the past 3 years... I'm not planning on changing jobs.. why should I pay this guy every year?) very interesting things to ponder over.

Again, thanks for sharing!
Many posters here are making definitive statements. Does anyone have expertise in this issue or know what they are talking about beyond repeating what they have read?

IIRC, Pierre Sprey represents one side in a political battle about aircraft design, but I hope someone here knows more about it than I do.
That clip from Pentagon Wars is amazing.

Having seen it, is there still any reason to see the movie? Or is that the gist of it? Because from looking at Wikipedia, that looks like the gist of it.
> The motto "work hard. have fun. make history." printed in 2m letters struck me as Orwellian.

especially since the "work hard" part was in bold.
Serious question? People build them all the time. They don't tend to stay simple or they eventually start demanding payment. It seems like this is a low cost thing to run, but if it takes off it gets very expensive.
This is a typical example of survivor bias. You are overly emphasizing successful people's view as generalized truth. The fact is, these are the same leaders who also missed out boat on entire social revolution. They are not often not right but it hurts them lot less because they have already amassed huge momentum.

For hackers, makers, creators, hobbyists - I don't think you should put any artificial restrictions on what you should work on. If you think it's the most interesting thing you could be doing right now, may be its useful to you and may-may-be to your friends - go do it. Don't think about if it has good monetization or if it would be used X times a day or it would put you in the TechCrunch etc.

My whole point is that they aren't resonating with that niche. Being a hacker doesn't say anything about your fitness level. I know plenty of Engineers that are healthy as hell and work out regularly (myself included). This is basically stereotyping engineers into the pale fraile archetype. Not everyone who codes is a vegan-overly-politically-correct-Bay-Area-hipster. There's a lot of diversity in people who consider themselves coders.

If you want to call it "Geek" fitness or "Nerd" fitness, that's one thing. The whole level up angle is being done by Fitocracy successfully and they aren't targeting coders, they are targeting people who like games and tech, which is a large group of people who may be put off by the hacker angle. By labeling hacker, they are saying that "only people who code will really understand our product".

I'm not sure that what you are talking about are things that are in the same category as the rest of the laws of either the UK or the US. For some rule to be classified as law, a bill must be passed by the legislative body of the government and added to the statute books; this is a public process.

There are other things that a court can use when deciding the outcome of some argument, perhaps the text of a contract or a set of rules that govern national security proceedings. In the same sense that the rules under which an employment or arbitration tribunal/panel operate under, these are not 'laws'. You cannot be prosecuted for breaking them, and so on.

So, while there are these extra rules that govern national security matters, and courts can decide on matters relating to these rules, with the entire thing being secret, which seems right and proper since they govern classified (or secret) matters.
Maybe. Maybe not. We don't really know unless/until major power fight each other what equipment works, what doesn't and what's irrelevant. The quip about fighting the last war is half true. I think they're aware of it. It's just that fighting the next war is pretty hard.
Having worked at Lockheed I can say: this is 100% true.
Richard Florida's research is solid and continues to reflect what is going on with economic growth and opportunity. Jim Russell demonstrates bad attitude and a lack of reading comprehension. The places where new graduates go still tend to rate well in what Richard Florida calls the three T's: Tolerance, Technology, and Talent. Unfortunately, Jim Russell has so little interest in the subject material that he didn't even bother to look at the metrics that Richard Florida is justly famous for documenting with rigorous empirical research.

It is possible to rent a modest suburban home in Vallejo for $1200/month and commute into San Francisco. Similarly while some of of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area is doing well nowadays other parts are less fortunate. The Penn Hills suburb has so many vacant buildings and lots that the subdivision is at risk of simply disappearing.

The Rise of the Creative Class was published in 2002, more than ten years ago. If promising and talented young people were still doing the same things and migrating along the same paths as they were at that time then that would be a remarkable thing. It is common even in relatively good times for fashions to change in ten years or less, and things have been chaotic since that time.

Swift Cheat Sheet DMCA Take Down from Apple
I can't tell if this was Apple's Swift guide, or was in fact a completely separate work created as a short guide to Swift. This appears to be a fork of the work:

https://github.com/MHM5000/swift-cheat-sheet

Nothing more than a few Swift examples!
Ah yup, there it is in the basic tutorial, "Intercomponent communication". It is strange that I don't remember noticing that when I skimmed it. I must've been too distracted counting parentheses and trying to wrap my head around clojure syntax.

I'm relieved to know it was there the whole time and I simply missed it, thank you.
No ECC RAM support. I'm guessing this isn't for "serious" use?
Software is terrible and it's never getting better
I know the EULA is universal, but all the defenders of "no-free-to-play" cite the "for the children" defense as the reason why this is such a pressing issue now.

As a player, Minecraft is only free-to-play if you voluntarily pay a server owner. If someone doesn't like a server, log into a different one! If you want to put in dozens of hours on a world without fear of it being griefed/having the rules changed, run your own small server!

My thesis is that this is basically a non-issue. If Mojang wants people to know they're not the ones charging for server access (the parent anecdote in the article), they should have a big, permanent banner in the server browser: "If you're paying for items on a server, you're paying too much! Minecraft server access is free by default!" and so on.
As a former military member and trained pilot of both the Hunter and Shadow 200 TUAV UAVs for the US Army, I believe you're slightly misinformed.

There are different types of UAVs "drones" for a more buzzword-y term, for different uses. The bigger boys such as the Predator, Global Hawk, etc use satellite navigation. There is most definitely a "lag" of sorts for those types of UAVs. The Shadow and the Hunter however, are line of sight. It limits their range severely (I got one out to 166km from the control station), but they are just as dangerous, albeit smaller and with less endurance for extended missions. It doesn't matter, they are cheap and you can launch lots of them :)

I've got 480 combat flight hours from Operation Iraqi Freedom II, from 2003-2004. We CONSTANTLY were targeting moving things and never had any real issues with it. You just use the right drone for the mission at hand. The military has dozens of different types of drones, but only the bigger ones make the news on a regular basis. The Shadow is being phased out for those types of missions in favor of the MQ-1C Gray Eagle.

Now for air/air stuff, they call those UCAS (lookup the X45-B / X47-B), the tech is still fledgling enough to need another 5-10 years before it will ever become a reality. On that, there simply isn't good enough software... yet.
This appears to be a fork of the work that has been taken down:

https://github.com/MHM5000/swift-cheat-sheet

But it's just a few Swift examples! This really concerns Apple so much?
Coder’s High: Programming is just like drugs, except the dealer pays you.
It's an UX problem. The pilots might need to be given more indirect, goal-oriented interface. Instead of first-person view and direct flight control, they would mark waypoints on situation map and select maneuvering policies, akin to some RTS games.
I'm hosting the actual records on Amazons Route53 so it is very low cost to run.

That said I am looking at monetizing, via additions which require either a low yearly fee, or a lifetime membership price (low).

The hard part is seeing what people will consider useful enough. One name for free, without monthly logins being required must always be true.

But I could imagine raising the standard TTL to 600 seconds, and keeping 60s for the premium users, adding MX record support, etc.
Not available in Canada.
I would humbly suggest that static site generators are not nearly as popular as you might think if you only view the CMS market through the eyes of the HN crowd.

SSGs are hugely popular among nerds and practically unknown among everybody else. The result is a kind of distortion where, to nerds, it looks like SSGs are about to take over the world -- "all my friends use them!" But step outside that tight network of people and they are more or less completely off the radar.
What kind of deviant goes after such a great free resource?

Great site, but timezone is 8 hrs off for me.
The killer app for hi-res displays is text, not video or games, in my opinion. Text looks terrific at 4K and text is what most working users look at all day. I would certainly trade some frame rate for super-crisp text in my editor. If others agree with me, we'll see high-res-but-slow-rate catching on in business before the home gamers are ready to go 4K.
AI isn't anywhere near being able to discriminate against an aircraft that is not exhibiting "aggressive" behavior. How will it work when it needs to visually ID an opponent, or when the opponent is flying aircraft that might be allied? Say our opponent is flying an F-16, or F-15? Lots of those out there, and in militaries that easily could become hostile. IFF is not always reliable, (hence the viz ID requirements).

And creating an autonomous UCAS capable of conducting air to air combat isn't going to be cheap at all. The reason we like drones now is because they have the performance characteristics of a Cessna, and they don't put pilots at risk. To compete in A2A combat, they'll need performance (and avionics) that exceed what our best fighters currently have. That will be buku $$...
If you don't have the attention span to sit through the montage, here's the money shot: http://blog.sling.me (third paragraph down):

> To get started on Slingshot, shoot a photo or video. It can be what you’re up to, who you’re with or a quick selfie. Add some text and color, then sling it to a bunch of friends. Here’s the deal: friends won’t be able to see your shot until they sling something back to you. They can then reply with a reaction—or simply swipe your shot away.
This is amazing, but I wish there was a clear way of knowing when there is an error causing your changes to not be output.

I fiddled for a couple of minutes without any changes before realizing i had forgotten to initialize a variable. (the x checkmarks don't seem to work for unassignad variables..)
They still don't get it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with server owners offering improved gameplay in return for financial support. Minecraft allows griefing (destruction of another player's work); there is nothing wrong with a server owner enabling an anti-griefing mod (incidentally, not offered by Mojang: literally the only thing which makes public servers tolerable is 100% not Mojang's work) only for paying players, but not for non-paying players. The alternatives would be to offer it to everyone—meaning that folks could cause trouble with the anti-griefing features, requiring admin time (and hence money)—or to not allow the general public on, meaning that prospective players would be unable to evaluate the server, or to turn off anti-griefing and leave the server public, meaning that everyone would have to have hidden bases and live in perpetual fear of griefers.

That doesn't sound like an improvement.

Skyblock is a style of gameplay made possible by modmakers (not by Mojang); there is nothing wrong with offering additional starting resources in exchange for financial support.

Mojang have made approximately half a billion dollars from Minecraft; society has rewarded them well. How 'bout they start giving back, rather than seeking to exploit their monopoly position?

(No, I don't run a public server, but I do play on them, and it sickens me to see their business model destroyed by a monopolist)
Well, it is a .co.uk site.
Slightly related question: Are there any courses I can take specifically aimed at making music by programming? Lynda or similar preferred, articles / books also work as long as they have examples using some sort of software (not just algorithms)
I don't think anyone was seriously considering trying to hold it. My comment was more in line with "The iphone will desintegrate due to the forces involved and the shrapnel will cause serious injur". Granted, those disks can shatter and I assume an iPhone may also shatter, but saying it will is a different.

PS: I am going to leave this alone. It's dangerous, but I do hope someone posts a video of this at some point.
Thanks. I've been thinking a lot about how a variety of my own weaknesses manifest themselves to produce this effect. A while back, I've found this can happen when you don't even realize it, because sometimes, writing code 'feels more productive', when in fact, it's better to get harsh feedback on something you haven't yet built.
It was built for UK users (.co.uk), I wasn't up for researching the TV channels of every country!

Laser is line of sight, limiting your range. And nature has a great way of jamming lasers, called clouds. If you were able to get a decently powered laser in a satellite, it wouldn't be able to control too many aircraft unless it looked like a porcupine. And then it would have to deal with anti-satellite defenses that both China and Russia have spent significant sums on.

I prefer having the authentication in a separate page. Single page apps ( +1 for auth) have a lot of complexity. I find that breaking out the onetime use authentication code and markup makes the main application page somewhat less complex.
I'm on the opposite side, several times I tried apps that give only 3-4 frames per exercise and sometimes (if they are not shoot with an appropriate angle) they are not enough to make clear what you have to do.
For future reference, "rm -rf .??*" will prevent traversing up the filesystem.

The term 4k has been around much longer than 1080p, etc. It is a term from computer graphics and the movie industry which means 4096x2160 (17:9 ratio) or 4096x3072 (4:3 ratio). I have helped build, test, and used "4k" tiled wall displays for scientific visualization. It is cool that you can now just buy a single monitor for the same purpose.
If you miss, your shot changes to be off by some amount of degrees. If you are close enough, even misses hit your target.

You need to do more than just carry the slammers up, you need an avionics suite that can target them. When you start putting an APG-81 equivalent radar into a UAV, you start having cost and performance issues...
