It's really common for retailers and marketers to segment the population by demographic or price. Look at Gap, which also owns the Old Navy, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta, and Piperlime brands. They're selling the same basic thing--clothing--but targeting different segments in ways that let them maximize profit by pushing the right buttons.

So why wouldn't that approach work for something like online dating?

"Tinder's Forgotten Woman: Whitney Wolfe, Sexism, and Startup Creation Myths"
Sounds like something an Indie game could achieve. But even in mainstream titles, I think violence could be explored, as long as it's not the main theme. Many TV shows lately have violent scenes that go beyond mindless splatter. I think the torturing scene in GTA V went into the right direction, but it's just not there yet. In TV shows, such devices are usually used for character development, to mark major plot changes or to emphasize the setting the show plays in. Those scenes revolve around who, how, where when and why in regard to violence. And I would love to see that applied to games as well.
However, IIRC BEGIN and END showed up in Perl 5.003 or thereabouts, circa 1995-97.

You say that with intent to imply it must be a bad reason, it's a little underhand. There are lots of reasons Groovy is not well appreciated. It's name is terrible, the community has always had a somewhat amateurish image (in stark contrast to the actual professionalism of what they do), it's choice to blend in seamlessly with Java and adopt as much Java syntax as possible made it decidedly unsexy with the crowd want to push new language concepts. It got a bad reputation for being slow early on (quite undeserved since it was always about as fast as comparable languages).

I think it's actually used incredibly widely but people don't even know it, Gradle being an example, but lots of other similar cases. Groovy just doesn't get credit a lot of the time because it embeds so seamlessly in to the Java world.

Using clojure:

(ns my.namespace
(:require [clojure.string :as str]))

(->> (str/split (slurp "/home/deadghost/fake-emails") #"\n")
(map #(second (str/split % #"@")))
set
(str/join "\n")
(spit "/home/deadghost/new-file"))

Read entire file, split by newlines into a vector, split each element by @ and take the second part of each split, convert to set to remove duplicates, join set elements with newline and spit to new file.

I understand the point you are making, and I could agree that more details wouldn't hurt. However, the problem is probably something like she wrote her birthday as DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY, or any other little detail like that.

Show HN vs. TechCrunch vs. Product Hunt: what's most effective to launch a product
Ya I actually really miss OpenGL 1.x as well, as kind of a minimal environment needed to do projections. Something has been lost with shaders. For example, limitations on program size has been a real burden for me, and strikes me as not being general computation. My iPad 1 can only read like 4 source pixels at a time, making blurs very difficult while they are comparatively easy with handwritten blitters. Hopefully WebGL will nudge the spec back towards simpler times.

I kind of look at hardware today like the internal combustion engine. Great strides have been made to speed up single threaded processing, and it is truly remarkable that we run 3 GHz chips without even thinking about it, while most other electronics have seen very little improvement except to go from vacuum tubes to transistors. But if I had a billion transistors to work with, it would be kind of like going to electric motors and the chip I came up with would look nothing like an Intel Core i7. It would be more like an FPGA, with 10,000 or 100,000 simple cores and no caching or anything like that. So it would be abysmal at running an operating system (basically taking us back to the early 90s) but would be faster than any video card today for embarrassing parallel computation like image processing or search (kind of like the bitcoin ASICs but general purpose).
I was thinking more of all the people who go through this because the US has NO formal emmigration procedure - in any other country you pass through a desk with a customs agent who puts a stamp in your passport saying you have left the country - in NZ, my country, they wont let you leave if you have outstanding fines or warrants.

In the US there is none of this, you just roll up to the gate, it used to depend of some airline minimum wage check in people tearing little green cards out of your passport and them getting to the right government person who typed them in correctly - lots of times it didn't work correctly and people would attempt to come back into the US a second time and then get tossed out because they had "overstayed" their previous visa. A number of friends have been through this insanity.

Now days the US does this electronically some how, it seems more reliable (hopefully) - but is still completely out of the control of the traveler and it still leaves one without a receipt, a stamp in their passport, indicating they have left correctly under the terms of their visa
People need to realize this isn't an issue targeted to a single area or industry - it's across the board. Banks with remote SQL access, finance firms and patent offices with executable rights.. The only solution is to create a separate environment for those inclined to operate within.

No, a map like the Python built-in function "map". Though, really, the for loop in your Python sample isn't a map done as a for loop, its a reduce done as a for loop. (Again, like the Python built-in "reduce".)

The CBP officers are going to be suspicious of anyone and everyone just like most people are suspicious of used car salesmen. Giving the CBP rank-and-file reason to suspect you (hacker? ..., obvious disdain for their function etc) will lead to nothing but bad. They do not make the rules, they enforce them and are given little leeway in how they can help. You're lucky to have found a sympathetic supervisor.

I think the best thing is to ask them to warm up with something basic like a scale, and let them work their way up as their comfort level increases. I knew some people who were particularly pleasant and easy going, so they were able to relax people suffering from performance anxiety.

There are interviewers who treat coding interviews as a high pressure, adversarial exercise, though. On the other hand, those sorts of people are rarely a joy to work with.
Meditation won't reduce stress in those people whose minds race in circles about their problems and worries whenever they have an idle moment, such as when they wake up at 3 in the morning with a cold sweat and a racing pulse. If you want stress-free meditation, you need to be a low-stress individual to begin with. (I suspect these are the types who are drawn to meditation.) If you have stress from problems, those will become like the "white elephant" that you're not supposed to think about.

Quick, close your eyes, and let your mind wander freely: but whatever you think about, do not think about your problems! Go!

I think the best way to eliminate a stress is to have a hobby which occupies your mind so that you cannot simultaneously focus on it and on stressful problems. And, of course, manage those problems and keep them to a minimum.

Hobbies are a form of meditation: and even when when you're away from them, because you still think about them. In your min you do planning related to your hobby, and solve problems, which creates a deep focus which is like meditation, which you can enter into whenever you have a spare moment, and which is free of the "white elephant" problem.

Simply meditating by letting my mind wander about nothing would be an unacceptable waste of time to me, and the mystical/religious aspects of it are completely deplorable to me: the article is spot on the money with its remark:

"“People are very uncomfortable with the concept of meditation,” notes Blackburn. She attributes this to its unfamiliarity and its association with spiritual and religious practices."

I've read about hippies who wasted their whole lives by doing transcendental meditation. Instead of pursuing something real, they just vegetated away years and years, sitting cross-legged among a group of others doing the same.

Look at what some Buddhist monks do: gardening, or upkeep of a temple: replacing old wood or bamboo with new. They don't just sit around with their eyes closed, doing nothing.
The main disagreement I have is the assertion that the majority of jobs (at a nationwide level) is for web based languages. While it is trending in that direction from what I see the majority of jobs are still Java and C++ with a bit of C thrown in. And while there may come a time when Javascript overtakes Java and C++, I don't think we are there yet, at least not nationally.

I believe the objective in life shouldn't be how much money and success we can acquire, but how good a person we can become.
I've just got a new job after around 15 interviews[1], the technical bit I can do, the softer bits (people skills etc) are something that I need to practice and it takes a few interviews.

However I did put quite a bit of effort in revising my basic coding stuff before I hit the interview trail and in general I don't apply to places I really want to work at until after I've managed to get a few trial runs under my belt.

I wouldn't sweat the freezing I've done the same thing when someone asked me a question about stuff that's on my CV but no other interviewer had bothered to ask about. It should get better.

Ask HN: Heroku Postgres vs. Amazon RDS Postgres
I'm currently running a Heroku Rails app and our Postgres DB has grown to a data size of 50GB, and our DB cache hit rate is at 93%. We're on the legacy Ronin ($200/month) plan (1.7GB) and probably need to upgrade but the next upgrade is the 7.5GB plan at ($750/plan). But we're running this as a bootstrap, so we'd like to save some money.

I notice that Amazon RDS for Postgres is in beta and will likely be a lot cheaper. But I'm wondering if anybody has any experience using Amazon RDS for Postgres instead of Heroku Postgres.

We've got a small team so we don't have any resources for DB management, and that's why we like Heroku. I'm wondering if Amazon will also the same convenience and no-maintenance approach as Heroku, and if we'll be saving significant amount of money or not.

Thanks.
Perhaps a superficially plausible ignorability assumption would be that, during rapid breakouts from the defensive zone, striker skill would strongly depend on the midfield's ability to open up favorably, which in turn would depend somehow on the defense's overall (relative) skill; so that, via d-separation, striker skill and defense's relative skill would be independent conditional on midfield's skill during breakouts. It would definitely not be trivial!

Reporting facts themselves can sometimes be an IP issue in the US due to the "Hot News" doctrine.
That's true, but it didn't receive any significant attention. When an item hasn't had significant attention in about the last year or so, a small number of reposts is fine. We want good stories to have more than one crack at the bat.

We're also working on some new ideas for making a much bigger dent in this problem. Story quality is a priority.
There are a lot of 8" Windows 8 Tablets that can already do basically this. No wireless display but you could do a docking station that provides power, HDMI and USB, then use bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

I have a Motorola Razr (Android) that can go into an Ubuntu install when hooked up via HDMI. It's very slow and you can't extend it without root but the idea is neat.
I like the idea.

Hey guys,

Need a ride? Here’s a $25 credit for you to try Lyft - it's like a cab, but costs less. To get the $25, just download the mobile app for iPhone/Android and type in “LOSANGELES” in the payments section of the app. If you’re in a pioneer city, you’ll get free rides on top of the $25!

To order a ride, tap “Request Lyft” and your driver will pick you up in minutes to get you where you need to go

I'm definitely out of my league here, but it seems like you're overcomplicating the question.

I won't pretend to be qualified to say whether you are right or wrong, but I'd like to make a few points.

I get the impression that you are trying to address whether science is as [in]consistent with itself as religion is [in]consistent with itself in their attempts to land upon some truth or as another commenter put it, "model of our world".

But the question posed by the article is whether science is consistent with faith. For the author, it is. At least a few commenters are simply stating that the reasons given by the author for this consistency don't resonate with them.

It's also worth noting that while you're using a "mathematical definition of consistency", the commenters you are refuting are probably just meaning that whatever conclusions one reaches via the scientific method are often in disagreement with those arrived at via faith. Now, I don't know what the Christian faith tells us about String Theory - heck, I don't even know enough about what science says about string theory to speak of it with any clarity. But I do know that with the help of science we can figure that the earth we live on is spheroid and revolves around the sun, and I know that the Bible hints slightly at a vastly different conclusion, or at least it was interpreted to do so at one time. On one side of the coin, we can look at evidence, or at the very least hold a theory as probable - and if it's falsified - well it's sad, but the theory changes to better suit the findings. On the other side of the coin, we must take somebody's unchanging word for it, and maybe revisit our interpretations of the same idea only if we're forced to - and otherwise, any objections must be false. I just don't see how anyone can say there's no difference there.
This reminds me of the ClamBook. Sure, the ClamBook is likely vaporware. But it's also an excellent idea that I would love to have made available. We haven't really had a proper execution of this idea on the market that I've seen.

"I keep seeing a lot of 'Rust vs Go'"

That's unfortunate. We should be arguing about Ocaml vs. Rust or Ada vs. Go!
Events are useless for this. When you execute a function with requestAnimationFrame, it runs after the frame is drawn so it has enough time to prepare and render everything before the next frame is drawn. You can then calculate and render everything that is not VR-motion dependant, then query the device and finally draw it. From a latency perspective it makes sense that the code can poll the data and the browser can manage the deform (but IMHO it shouldn't be mandatory).
