I feel so safe now everybody sitting in my plane have charged iPhone's & Galaxy's.

Always expected that people who 'loaned' my iOS lightning charger where terrorist.
I post this in case any language learners out there haven't discovered the app yet. Having an offline dictionary on the go is invaluable, and while most other Thai dictionaries for iOS are based on the LEXiTRON resource (http://lexitron.nectec.or.th/), which is really meant for Thais, this app is based on the crowd-sourced material of Thai-language.com, which is meant for English-speaking learners of Thai.
For example, all of the reports on this first page of Toronto results are from my site: http://bedbuglookup.com/toronto-on

Ditto for Vancouver and NYC. I stopped looking after that.
Ninja is someone skillful - in various contexts. Rockstar is someone successful - in all kinds of contexts. I would much rather be called one of those then "diva".
Ask HN: Console games vs. movies. Do they compete for consumer eyeballs?
"Transformers 4 just did $575 million in revenue in the first 12 days from launch without launching in Europe or South America yet. I tend to compare that with the almost over $ 1 billion that COD Ghosts made in their 1st day from launch. Do they compete for the same audience?"
Android 4.0 is the minimum required version, the game runs just fine on KitKat.
I found my reviews I wrote on the bedbug registry back in 2008 on this site. Definitely scraped
Hehe, the web of interests sounds very familiar. I'm using pocket (getpocket.com) to cut down on the number of tabs though, maybe it would be useful for you as well.
I don't get one thing. If only 18% of the tech graduates are women, why do people (see wsj articles and random blogs) complain about companies "gender imbalance"[1] (not hiring 50% women and 50% men)? Wouldn't that be positive discrimination?
As this article states, 18.2% of the graduates are women, but only 15% of the employees share the same gender, so the gap is 3.2%. Personally, I don't consider that 3.2% as being hugely discriminatory, but rather expected, see below.

The problem starts even before formal education. In the country I was raised in, young women get an education which can be summarized by "get a husband to take care of you, cook and have his children". As long as parents have this mentality, their girls get no incentive to continue with college or anything technical, because this path is unknowingly inhibited since childhood. Most developed countries rely heavily on imported workforce, so a lot of Yahoo's and Google's employees come from countries where the percentage of women graduating in tech is far less than the 18.2% of women graduating in the US.
I don't understand, what has the phone being charged got to do with anything?
BBR has 2270 reports in Toronto:

It's listed on the site as "the bedbug capital of Canada".
In that jobs are inversely proportional to the amount of productivity in an industry, one would conclude that coal mining jobs are very productive and solar not so much. This is not an argument for solar, because if the amount of jobs is what matters, then we should be putting tons of money into the post office. Do we still have 700K people delivering snail main?
Clearly it has nothing to do with the device being charged, but rather eliminating an excuse as to why the device doesn't have the ability to be powered on. (Allegedly proving it's a real device, and not a bomb being made to look like a laptop or phone.)

That being said: http://xkcd.com/651/
What i would do is system of minimum taxation.

Like - all money made in Germany will be taxed at 20% and you pay your taxes with priority where you are incorporated.

So if in Luxemburg the taxation is 5% - you pay 5% to luxemburg but cough the rest 15% to germany on the profits made in germany.
And a "pause" button, so it would stop yelling at you when you stop to get something to eat - gas - bathroom.

Exercise 4 days per week, and walk 6 days per week. No other goals. Just maintenance.
If going for realism, it could be argued that rare ferocious beasts, or their unique body parts could have very high trophy value (as opposed to humans).

Just witness the extinction of many real life species that are killed for perceived magical qualities of a small body part. For added realism, it makes it easy to just leave the body to rot and sell the small rhino horn to shady criminals.

For added effect, if they are rare enough, they become more valuable the more you kill them...
Uncharged phones could be hidden explosives. To prove it's a electronic device, you have to turn it on. But it's kind of moot if you just explode the battery directly right?
The type enhancement means that traits could replace classes completely in scala, which is kind of exciting. The problem with traits is that state must be inlined even if implementations are not (so they are a mixture of mixins and small talk style traits). I'm well versed in how they are implemented in scalac.

What non-CL mixins are not inheritance based? Python?
It's to prove that it's a genuine phone/laptop, and not one with the internals replaced with explosives.
Rationale being?
– Validate the integrity of the device from looking at the screen?
– Obtain an electronic record of the device entering the country?
Cool, does the evidence include the finding that only the women of the settlements wore the jewelry?
One weird trick for filling your website with bedbug reports... you won't believe what happened next.
If your device is charged you can prove it actually works; if it's not, you can say "Well, it works, but it happens not to be charged--that's why it isn't doing anything."

Presumably the idea is that techniques used to convert a laptop or phone into a bomb would render the device inoperable. It certainly seems like a harder task to make a bomb that is also a phone, rather than a bomb that used to be a phone.
If it's not charged, you can't turn it on to show it's actually a phone.
Nice work. I think Pitchfork throws way too much content at the user, so this is definitely something I could see myself using. Is there a particular reason you chose Meteor over other Node frameworks/libraries? Were you just intrigued by it and wanted to try it out?
I started working out my arms, back and abs to try and counter RSI-like-symptoms. Then I noticed some woman really notice the body that came with that routine.

I went from not-ever-talking to women to the opposite, whatever you call it.

My goal is to get delicious abs. I work out 2x a week. Totaling in 2 hours or cardio and 2 to 3 hours of weights.

Shallow, but honest, right?
No, you're missing the point -- using a regex does not allow you to read in less than all of the input (in the best case, even). If you grep a 1GB file with a regex you must read 1GB from disk, no exceptions, and that's many orders of magnitude slower than anything on the CPU (or in memory). With Boyer-Moore you can do less than 100% of the file size in I/O, especially if the given pattern is long relative to the full text.
> If the entities in one service are not in strong relationship with one another, it's a sign you can split them in two services. But if two microservices talk to each other so extensively, that the service boundary is becoming a bottleneck, it's a sign that they should be one service.

In other words it's best to break down services by Bounded Contexts.
Typical Millenial
Two things: first people are different, and "it doesn't bother me" doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't bother someone else.

Second, and probably more importantly, there is an issue of scale. I find the Big Bang Theory stupid and obnoxious, but I don't think any stereotyping I've dealt with in my life matches what I hear about from friends of mine who are Black or women or Muslim. It's easier to be easygoing about things when you know that they won't really affect you.
Possibly: that lithium batteries can turn into wild explosive fires.

This is a completely different argument. This is "most people aren't efficient, therefore because I am I should be able to work less" where OP's was "creative people can't (and don't) work above 4 hours" (yet can somehow do so on their own side project).

I'll agree with you in general on this one (though perhaps then you should be happy with s 'standard job' salary), but disagree with OP.
The connection between Open Source and Open Science
The Developer's Dystopian Future
Presumably, when security asks random passengers at random times to activate their mobile devices as proof that they're not some incendiary device, this rule eliminates the passenger's ability to claim it doesn't work because it's not fully charged. Plugging Yet Another Security Hole that terrorists could use!

How they plan to mitigate phones with bad batteries I have no idea- it's fully charged coming through security, but 30 minutes later, it's completely dead? Must be a terrerist [sic].

Charged phones ARE hidden explosives
I was living in Romania when that article came out, but the site is hosted in the US.
Well, good thing that after long days of traveling we never arrive at the airport with any of our electronic devices empty -_-

Also... does anyone know how many people were caught trying to smuggle explosives on a plain until now?
How is that not taking liberties with interpretation? It's also possible that the writer simply feels that the industry (who said anything about "society"?) should strive to be gender neutral. More than one woman is referenced in the OP article and they have opinions that differ by nuanced degrees.
Tin foil hat meme: they want the ability to surreptitiously power on and root devices. This only works if it's juiced.
A comfortable level of 20-25 hours of billable work per week seems to fit my experience in freelancing too. In the long run I don't think I'd want to try to push much beyond that.
I added the favicon. :) thanks.
My main question would be salary. You really can't reasonably expect your employer to pay you the same salary as someone working more than twice the hours.

Are you comfortable making less than half the salary of a programmer working 40 hours a week instead of 16?
You're applying your dislike of geek-targeted stuff to the wrong items.

Stop thinking about how you react to t-shirts with stupid jokes about programming; imagine a cookery book assuming that you are, because you are a geek, incompetent in the kitchen and that you need help with buying eggs from the store and need instructions on how to cook eggs.

Or imagine a set of low quality kitchen equipment that has those "Roses are #ff0000" style slogans on. Does that in anyway make cooking more accessible to you?

A bunch of people on HN are good at cooking. They don't want that kind of pointless targeting. They want better specs, better access to information, and so on.

I imagine, but I do not know, that women don't just want pink colour themes for their code editor.
That's so cool! Any fun stories or obscure algorithms that came up?

I've taken up powerlifting four times a week. I also walk 30mins on my lunch break each day. Over the last year I've gone from untrained to intermediate in all my lifts: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards....
You don't work in full focus for the full hours. Other hours your are doing relatively low focus things such as code reviews, answering questions, eating lunch, attending meetings, interviewing, talking about the direction and design of the project, etc. They want you around as an on-call 'consultant' so you can unblock other people more quickly.

When it's just yourself green fielding a project, you don't really need to be anyone's consultant then, so you can just work the productive hours.

Some companies unfortunately care about face time too :/
did I ask for my connection to be wiretapped?
These are good points.

I think this 10,000 hour idea is a vast oversimplification.

For example, it's often difficult to differentiate rate of progress from final ability.

As someone who has been involved with elite athletics, there are people out there who are simply better at absorbing training, in terms of biomechanics (mostly injury resistance), recovery, and compensation (getting stronger). I've seen lots of folks, new to a sport, with little training, absolutely crush mush more seasoned/conditioned folks. There are many examples of this (see: Chrissie Wellington). For each of them you can contrive some story "well, she lived at altitude", but that's the point, these people exist. And to be clear, I take nothing from Chrissie's worth ethic, etc. She's simply better than a whole host of other elite athletes that have worked hard their whole lives and she went out and clowned them for several years.

The difficult question is, if an average person kept at it for 10,000 hours, would Chrissie plateau and that average person catch up? And here you can substitute math, chess, coding, whatever.

I don't know, but both my sporting and software engineering experience (anecdotally, N=1) says no. Different people are sometimes differently suited to tasks. I'd love to understand the causation.
Despite appearing the New Zealand Herald, the story comes with a byline from the Daily Mail, which, for a story related to terrorism, reduces its credibility to zero.

This is going off topic, but because you asked:

Yes, there's a bit of hyperbole in that statement, but there is a problem there. Pottering has pushed a very "our way and no other" attitude, even when other people have requirements that aren't met by systemd.

Worse, the tight-coupling between components is a perfect example of the "embrace and extend" tactic. The monopoly position systemd currently enjoys has successfully been used to extend into a disturbing number of other components[1].

As for unix-vs-windows - switching to a windows-style binary log and rewriting an inetd into a mandatory "SvcHost.exe" for linux is bad enough, but the real issues is the removing of well-defined barriers between components.

Pottering's hatred scripts is a problem, because using scripts as the "glue" in unix is one of the most important features of unix. Keeping many of the the interactions between components in an open and readable format has forced developers to create (and deal with) methods of API that can actually be extended beyond the original project. Systemd returns to the windows style of just making function calls into the current implementation. Being forced to, for example, listen on a unix socket for a command works easily with anything, even into the future. Requiring that same message be sent by calling some function encourages linking to extra libraries and makes interaction from scripts much more difficult.

This isn't about any technical benefits; keeping the IPC between components open and well-defined is even more important than access to the source code itself if we are to maintain an ecosystem of Free Software. For those of us that would like to have a Free (as in freedom) Software ecosystem survive the current War On General Purpose Computing[2], the campaign by the pro-systemd people is, frankly, terrifying. Sometimes there are more important goals than "faster" or "cleaner API" or "easier to write". Keeping the OS - both the kernel and system-utils - open, free, and interchangeable needs to be a high priority goal, or we will lose the progress the Free Software community has made over the last ~decade.

Don't forget your legs. Squats and deadlifts are the best full body workouts.
No. It may turn out that both genders have similar inborn affinity towards wearing jewelry, which is then truncated by society.
How about taking out the guts of a 17" Dell XPS laptop and connecting its screen to the insides of a Sony Vaio ultrabook or a Macbook Air? That would give you over a quart of volume in which to pack contraband.
Why don't you want to talk about salaries? Lack of data is a huge problem in this space. I don't think anybody expects you to name the names of the people involved.
If everyone on the plane has their working cell phone on, then thats more data that can be collected during the flight .. over international waters .. from all of the targets of most interest (those moving between countries).

Honestly I won't even be mad if this were the case.
I think what's happening here, and in a lot of other cases, is that culture [0] tends to sieze on real (in this case IMO) asymmetries (girls care more about appearance than men) and blow it far out of proportion. I'm not justifying it, not even close; I find it horrifying. I'm saying that it has a seed in reality, mixed with a freight of repression and poorly-handled social revolutions, a beautiful thing corrupted. You have to wonder, if not from some inborn difference, how did this vast asymmetry come about?

All this to say, those articles are not evidence about any putative inborn interest in jewelry. They're perfectly consistent with either theory.

[0] Yes that's a bit of a vague term. I take it to mean something like, "what everyone around you is saying/doing".
How deft bid-riggers harmed ex-owners of foreclosed homes
Which programming language is used to express the most anger?
Excerpt:

To fully understand what’s happening here, let’s zoom out and take in the wider picture. San Francisco is a relatively small part of a much larger nine-county metropolitan area of over seven million people. Within this area, governance is fragmented at the county and city levels and it is served by a slew of separate transportation agencies, including six separate but overlapping bus agencies and four regional rail or light rail agencies. There are three major airports, run by separate agencies, and while regional housing policy is supposed to mandate that all municipalities provide their respective shares of housing demand, based on employment patterns, this is often undermined at the local level. Public policy is often not coordinated in any meaningful way at the regional level.

It's a very special place: it's called a Bookmarks file. You can even have folders with subfolders so that you can find what you want very quickly.
FTR, the whole declaration section vs initialization section stuff really boils down to this:

You can't declare mutually-recursive methods before
initialization logic in the body of a class. You have to
declare them _after_ the fields of the class are fully
initialized.

That's not so hard to understand.

To see why it's like this, you need to consider :

- Unlike most OO languages Ceylon statically _guarantees_ that a field of an object is initialized before it is accessed. (If we didn't, then we would have to have something conceptually equivalent to a NullPointerException when you access a field before initialization.)
- We've always hated the amazingly repeaty syntax of constructors in C++/C#/Java.

What I mean is, in Java I have to write stuff like:

class Point {
final float x;
final float y;
Point(float x, float y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}

In Ceylon, it would be:

class Point(Float x, Float y) {}

And even with all that verbosity in the Java version, I _still_ don't get a static guarantee that `x` and `y` are initialized before they are used by a method. This code prints `0.0`:

class Point {
final float x;
final float y;
Point(float x, float y) {
fun();
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
void fun() { System.out.println(x); }
public static final void main(String[] args) {
new Point(1.0f,2.0f);
}
}

So Ceylon wants to solve _both_ these problems: eliminate the verbosity, and provide the static checking for initialization. Now, this is an _almost_ completely transparent process. I almost never find myself thinking about declaration section vs initialization section. I just write classes so that fields are initialized before the methods that use them are declared. Which is basically super-intuitive. In >95% of classes that's all you need to know. Very rarely, I mix this up, and the compiler complains and I need to move a member up or down. Which takes seconds to fix. Very, very rarely, I have a class with some kind of self-recursive initialization logic and then only in that case do I need to start holding the mental model of declaration-vs-initialization sections in my head. In practice, I think I've only run into this situation _once_, and it took me a few minutes to restructure the code. (FTR, it was `ArrayList` in `ceylon.collection`.)
Started cycling regularly a couple months ago. I'm pretty comfortable in the 30-40 mile range right now. Would like to be just as comfortable in the 50-60+ mile range by the end of the summer.

From what I remember, Firewire used to have direct hardware access to the RAM. Does the iOS lightning charger have something similar?

I may be paranoid, but I could imagine the TSA offering little charging stations so you can get enough juice to turn the phone on, and from there it's a short leap to imagine that the other side of that "charger" is going to be something that sucks down as much information as they can from the phone.
