Minecraft at a minimum uses a variant of perlin noise for the terrain generation.

5 Ways to Better Leverage a DevOps Mindset in Your Organization
I wonder why you are being downvoted by stating obvious facts related to the problem. As time passes I'm more tempted to install that Chrome plugin that turns every mention of "disrupt" into "bullshit."

would be [approx]

"Some of the goals that Brazil keeper Julio Cesar conceded were unavoidable, but he was not exactly Tim Howard in goal." (elsewhere)

Away from the article, the most jarring thing for a football (US: soccer) fan exposed to the US media is the use of "tie" instead of "draw". Of course there is also the US concept of an "assist" which has in fact now been embraced by the wider football community.

As well as differences in specific terminology, there is a broader and difficult to pin down difference in the "feel" of US coverage of football. To someone used to traditional football coverage it feels alien, maybe basketball or baseball translated into football rather than native football.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy American sport and love the rapid fire humour and passion of American sport journalism in all media.
How is VIM mode coming along? Last time I tried atom it wasn't up to par at all.
5 cents per article is not realistic. The rate for a basic New York Times subscription is $3.75 per week. At 5 cents per article, their average user would have to elect to pay for 75 articles per week. I don't have access to the data to know for sure, but let's guess an average user reads 3 articles per week. They'd need to pay $1.25 for each...which is probably high enough to convince them not to read some content, which is counter-productive. So it may be better business to avoid per-article purchasing, if it further reduces readership which is very undesirable.
SEEKING WORK - Silicon Valley

I'm seeking any work in digital strategy, marketing, communications, business development. Any work that is temp/part-time, full time.

I possess previous experience in these areas as well as political fundraising.

> Are they also receiving such ultimata?

Does a substantial percentage of their advertisers break the law by not having the appropriate licenses required in their countries? If no, then they shouldn't be receiving any ultimatums.

(the answer to that question, by the way, is "no" for most of these sites, as most of them are simply affiliates / marketing partners for a handful of companies that have, decades of history of dealing with the regulations properly when representing the property owners; I'm sure there are exceptions here and there, especially for smaller/newer operators)

You may not see this as "driven by any sort of guiding principle other than protectionist aversion", but a lot of others see this as driven by the respective organs duty to uphold various consumer protection laws.
The heck is Chocolatey and why am I expected to trust them as a distributor of clean binaries? Rhetorical question.

I've been using Windows as a primary OS for over 20 years and there's no way in hell I am installing some random "package manager" just to get some other piece of software. This is not how things work on Windows. I am willing to assume that GitHub knows how to build and look after their distributions to keep them clean, but I am not going to extend the courtesy to Chocolatey, because they are basically no-ones, regardless of how nice and well-intentioned they are.
On one side I see the flaws in the existing openssl and other C-based libraries and when written languages such as OCaml or Haskell those just would not happen.

On the other hand those existing libraries work. Which can not be said of the new ones. At least the Haskell TLS library has logic flaws in it that I'm wondering why it works at all. And a lot of Haskell projects use the native tls package instead of the openssl bindings. It is not fun at all having to spend two days to debug something that just works in literally every mainstream language. I hope ocaml-tls doesn't make the same mistake.

The community could, but the community won't in most cases for the simple reason that most communities find it incredibly damaging to neighbours to let people do whatever they want on "their" property.

If I were to, for example, start a 24/7 brothel in my terraced suburban house, complete with front garden strip show set to loud music and light show, it would have tremendous negative effects on my neighbours.
It's very similar: a notepad application with keyboard shortcuts. Good when cannot afford/access a proper IDE.
Is anybody actually still using atom?
I hate AirBNB and Uber and the like described as "sharing". As an AirBNB host, I sublet a room. It's a rental agreement, there's nothing fancy or new about it. There's also no notion of sharing. It's money for services, a regular business transaction. Couchsurfing is sharing: I offer space to a guest, for no direct return.
A few thoughts:

It's really distracting that typing in the REPL changes the size of the containing div.

The blurry photo of (I assume) the audience of a lecture just doesn't work - what's it supposed to do?

There's very little useful information - everything is at least one click away. If the whole purpose of the site is to 'sell' to a new audience then I guess that's not an issue, but I expect to be able to go to the site of a language & get very quickly and easily to useful manual/wiki pages explaining whatever feature I'm having trouble with.

The basic style is very 'modern' but it looks more like a Kickstarter page that's there to sell you something trendy and new than the front page of a site giving you information about a language. It's very pretty but (to me) sends completely the wrong message about what this site is.
Yes. Because that would mean that there are restrictions attached to it that can be enforced. I have no easy way to get my (hypothetical) neighbor to kick out his noisy guests that trash common property - but if he's registered, the city has.

That's just shifting the burden to society. Instead of you taking ownership of your own housing choices, and the consequences thereof. Everything you mention would be avoided if you took the effort to find a place to stay that you find agreeable to your personal preferences.

Sure. But any other motive for doing such a thing is probably less smart too.
I'm using "Optimize for readability first" from now on instead of the usual. I'm not sure if I'd call that 'optimization', but it definitely gets the point across a lot better, especially to newer developers.
KevinSawacki who owns the atom repo on Github is one of the maintainers, and chocolatey has been around for a while now. The reason they suggest chocolatey is because there's no auto updater for Windows atom yet, instead they recommend you use the update function from chocolatey.

With my builds, I had to announce them and poke some people who use my builds actively because of this issue, so that they would download the new version.
Your example isn't relevant. Full property rights doesn't mean you can blast your neighbors with loud music and bright lights; after all, they would have full property rights as well, which would be affected by that.

Ruby semantics wouldn't map to BEAM cleanly. Pervasive immutability, error handling and concurrency constructs are very different between Ruby and Erlang, I don't think trying to bridge the gap would be an easy task.
Your average person probably picks their CA because it's part of their hosting company, who probably resells someone else's CA largely because they're cheap.

I watched the video, because I thought it could be useful for our monthly discussion of metrics (revenue, etc.).

My Feedback

Presentation: I disliked the music; it created a leisurly feel and reminded me of soft drink commercials.

Tool: In general I like the idea of "zooming" into the numbers and the presentation format of a tree. However I think there was too much horizontal scrolling involved. I think that by this you lose the all-important overview. Maybe something like prezie could work better here...

Just my 2 cents.
Just a notice for HN. I'm going to stop making builds on atom.someguy123.com, but I might continue if Github doesn't do nightly unstable builds.

I recommend using the official builds from now on, as there is no reason for me to continue building stable builds of Atom for Windows
I test-drove it for a while and it ended up replacing ST3 in my toolkit/workflow. Until I switch to vim completely, Atom is filling in the gaps quite well.
It probably depends on the app what makes sense. If the app is useless without the permission then not giving the user a way to get working is a bug. So if a camera app asks to use the camera each time that is proper behaviour but if it asks for access to contacts every time it is started it should probably be rejected.

It might be that the fuzzy edges of Apples approval system can be beneficial if some good judgement is used.
Chocolatey is fairly well established as wrapper around nuget that grabs windows binaries - indeed it's currently the only source type that microsoft's own package manager (oneget) supports (although they intend to provide others see http://blogs.technet.com/b/windowsserver/archive/2014/04/03/...)
I saw a bit of OCaml code in Rust code-base recently, can you say what it's used for? I know that Rust is self-hosting now, but I swear I saw some .ml files there...
That's cool. There's no need to rant about it though. Why are you posting this? Are you expecting someone to come and change your mind? Are you expecting your totally original words of wisdom to cause everyone to abandon the project? Or are you just looking for a sandbox?
You are aware that you could never own that land, or a house without the government.

How exactly do you propose land registration would work, when it's not backed up by a government guarantee?
Like your offerings... would like to subscribe for this service.
You are never going to take away the human from this equation. Notes are taken over the course of the day, and many of the proposed systems end up taking more time: nurses do their rounds, use pen and paper to take notes while walking around, and at the end of the shift copy the notes from the paper into the system.

This means that you have basically added another data entry level, increasing both time and error rate.
> KevinSawacki

Nice to know, but it doesn't move a needle a bit. I have no desire to establish trusting relationship with Kevin, but I am willing to trust GitHub.

Adding a simple update checker is as trivial as pulling a URL and seeing if the response contains a version number that is greater than your own. How is this too hard to add and how it justifies adding some random dependency that needs full admin rights to run?
I agree with the parent, I think you must have a bug somewhere. For many positions of the sliders the movement seems very erratic, the pendulums suddenly bounce back or accelerate without any apparent reason. Especially when you start moving the top slider to the right (though not necessarily all the way to the right).

Or maybe I just don't understand how double pendulums work...

Thanks for the feedback and sorry you dislike the music! We thought that the voiceover needed something extra so added it. As we move out of beta, we will definitely be looking at ways of improving the UI - ease of navigation is super important
PhoneGap just runs on the built-in web controls of the platform. Ludei reimplements the web control to run faster. Generally you only use the latter for games and graphics intensive apps.
Also typing in their code example (the one right at the top, pride of place) into their 'Try it' repl throws an error:

primes = sieve [2..]
where sieve (p:xs) =
p : sieve [x | x <- xs, x `mod` p /= 0]

<hint>:1:8: parse error on input `='" error

Now I have almost no knowledge of Haskell, so I'm probably making some really basic mistake, but I figure most visitors will try that and then get put off
Not a rant. Consider it a public service announcement.

They are doing it in a way that is inherently wrong and doesn't work for a lot of people. And since they are being very casual about it, they get a louder message than they would've got if it were just one of the options.
But I bet you're cool with using Steam for games?

Chocolatey isn't new, they run on Microsoft technology (nuget), and they have support from Microsoft themselves.
I think they work especially well when money is involved. If you make some money from time to time by subletting your property or sharing a ride you have even more incentive to maintain good reputation.

This is how I imagine small early human communities worked: based on reputation. The thing is that our brains don't scale and they can't maintain reputation model for all people whom we exchange with in a large city. Services like airbnb and uber externalize the reputation model to a large scalable distributed system.

As far as spammers and other abusers are concerned tech community has a long and largely successful history of dealing with them (blocklisting, statistical techniques like bayesian spam filtering, machine learning algorithms etc). Gmail is a very good example of effectiveness of spam-fighting techniques.
As cwoac mentioned, Chocolatey is quite well etablished on Windows and has been for some time, it's not "some random dependency".
I think Haskell deserves a concise, functional homepage. Ideally, without any side effects (like animation). Every URL should always return either the same content, or an appropriate monad.
A lot of the more interesting anecdotes are in the second half of this article:

• The crew are constantly affected by nitrogen narcosis, making some behave as if they are slightly drunk

• The support team used to carry supplies down from the surface by free diving (with no oxygen), because that was much quicker, but it was impossible to enter Aquarius because breathing the higher pressure air inside could have killed them.

• Toilets are a problem due to pressure and privacy issues. The crew try to avoid using it

• A tiny puddle of spilled water can take weeks to dry inside Aquarius. Article does not explain why, unfortunately.

Why do you think your security should matter more to your neighbor than his ability to make money by renting out his property? He's got family to feed too.

Why do you think collecting taxes is what everyone considers a just thing to do?

Why do you think fairness is when hotels can charge visitors twice as much and provide twice as shittier service?

Why do you think laws cannot be broken, if unjust? Many people smoke weed which is illegal in many countries. Do you consider those people to be criminals? Would you look them in the eye and tell them to go vote harder next time and then send them to jail?
in the sense that no human is currently infected with smallpox. The virus itself is kinda resistant. It notably resists freezing, so it is very possible that the virus survived in the permafrost.

This has been dealt with in court in real life, for cases where someone has killed someone else while sleepwalking, and not had any recollection of the event, or any intent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicidal_sleepwalking

As far as I can see, sometimes the killer is acquitted, sometimes is sentenced, and sometimes the sleepwalking counts as insanity, meaning the killer is committed to a secure hospital.
My understanding is that bookies work on the risk neutral probability, not on any predictive power.
Still? I see quite a bit of people moving to it recently, around me at least.

For me, it has completely replaced textmate/sublimetext (except for one huge file from time to time, but I use command line head/sed etc for that too).

My favorite point is that it comes with a default configuration which works for me, which means installing it on a machine let me work straight away.

One solution is a [Basic Income](http://binews.org/) — "an income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement."

A Basic Income would help solve the problem of poverty and climate change, and should be a human right.
Gmail is actually a bad example, since spam is "relatively" easy to detect, but detecting fraudulent reviews or behaviours is far, far more complicated. A better example would be eBay, Etsy and Amazon. And they clearly fight a very hard battle to fend scammers and spammers, where, as far as I know, they are more or less tied.
"However, unscrupulous Internet service companies such as TOR offer "private" or "anonymous" domain name hosting services that allow criminals such as Pinkmeth and its users to escape accountability for their actions. TOR even advertises that with their service "nobody would be able to determine who was offering the site, and nobody who offered the site would know who was posting to it."

Wow. Weird to think of a non-profit software group which makes software that aims to decentralize/anonymize parts of the web through mostly the bandwidth of the users of their product as an "Internet service company", but I suppose it is. Kinda.
I like the new homepage. One little nit-pick, I actually find the quicksort example a better candidate (instead of the sieve one). I think it highlights the expressiveness of the language a lot, and everybody implemented quicksort in some other language at one point, so they can compare.

That might apply in a league where you can amortise that loss over a whole bunch of games but in a single-shot knockout game, I'd expect a professional team to keep fighting even at 5-0 down - much as the Brazilians did in the second half. If it weren't for Neuer's outstanding saves, they could have had 3+ goals in the first 15 minutes.

(Although the league sometimes doesn't work like that either - I remember listening to Spurs vs Man Utd when Man Utd went in at half-time 3-0 down and ended up winning 5-3 in what is possibly the most epic half of football I've heard in 30+ years.)

Many people know C++ and Java but have no sense for functional programming. It would help them to read equivalent known code to compare it with Haskell.

For instance FP Complete's Introduction to Haskell presents some ugly Java code which can be written in two elegant lines in Haskell (video around 03:25 min).

I don't think "to share" means what you think it means. It means "to use or enjoy something jointly or in turns" (source: http://thefreedictionary.com/share). This doesn't imply "for free".

The name "sharing economy" comes from the fact that the property (flat, room, car etc) being provided for use by the customer (generally) remains in use by the owner (either because it can accommodate more than one person or because the owner uses it only temporarily).

Perhaps C2C (customer to customer) would be better though and would fit neatly with other business types already called B2B and B2C. I guess it doesn't have the same marketing flair though.
Besides syntax, the semantics are indeed quite similar.
