Looks interesting and I will most likely give it try but when I think of a "modern" cms I think more of the approach that prismic.io and contenful are using. Decoupling the backend from the frontend and using RESTful services to tie it together is a more "modern" approach, especially when web apps are considered. I would love to see some opensource cms's that allowed me to use whatever client side framework I choose to build the frontend.
I've been putting stickers on my laptop's for years. I don't see why Apple needed a marketing campaign for this, other than to just run some user-contributed ads.
"That's quite an oversimplification." is no less a catchy slogan, and labeling it "binaristic thought" is no less binary if that's all you write.
Please tell me where I can find a reference of Android UI's building blocks, and how they are supposed to be used.

I know exactly the feeling jo_ is talking about, but then I've only tried to wade through developer.android.com which is really complete but you really have to know what you are looking for.
these sorts of things happen. not fair to judge them on that. judge them on the product, not the website
What's interesting here too is that these costs can come back to haunt you on the leasing side. Tesla's leasing programs "guess" at what the value of the car will be when the lease ends. Should this issue turn out to be true and therefore drive down resale value they'll be buying/getting many of these cars back at prices they can't get when they turn around and resell them. Assuming of course it turns out to be any sort of real issue.
Partially that - I don't visit many web sites regularly that require Javascript, but most of the ones I do visit regularly are more or less trustworthy. The biggest problem I have with the whole whitelisting thing is that so many people host code on Google's domains that I'd really prefer a GUI element for "Allow <domain> on this domain only", so I'm not executing any code hosted on Google's servers on every page I go to, just because I occasionally navigate to a Google site. I think there's a way to configure this in the back-end, but it's not really convenient to do so temporarily.

The other big part of it is that I'm much more used to seeing a site, noticing if something's missing, then making the decision about whether I really want to let it execute arbitrary code on my machine. I'm not all that confused when a new site I go to is subtly broken.

I find it a bit disingenuous to say that they have pointless updates, every update has a change log right there on the updater to see what's changed. While the vast majority aren't features you rarely see a change go out that doesn't warrant going out.
Everything is discussed via meetings and mailing lists. I guess you can not make significant changes to the UI, but you can contribute by writing an extension.

Why re-invent the wheel when MessagePack already exists, supports a similar set of types, and has far greater implementation reach?
Past lives of those who “dig in”
So I was having a conversation with a coworker about people who are willing to work hard to solve a problem vs. those who will pawn off work. A common thread we found was those that were willing to just dig in and get their hands dirty with code or shitty docs, were those that literally got their hands dirty in a past job or hobby.

Maybe there is something to be said about that, I dunno. Just seemed to us that those who used to build houses, play with high voltage, do any sort of plumbing, auto repair, work on a farm, etc. before coming into IT seem to understand that you can't half ass shit. Because in our past life, half asses can lead to injury or death.

Anybody think there is any truth to this or way to prove this?
Depends on the book, sometimes I just keep reading and reading until the sun starts rising. I force myself to put down the book and try to sleep at least an hour or 2.

Yeah Im speaking primarily about the technical SE's sites. I agree with the completely isolated SE (Photography, Puzzles, religion).

But when you get the related topics servers, programming, security, tools, web development, web apps... All these items are so closely related it's often disadvantageous to try and ask a vertically silo'd question.

I get they are trying to create a detail 'manual' for all questions, but you get to a point where it's just better to read the manual.
That would be incredible commitment if they came back three times to guess at schedules.

Most home robberies are of the kick the door in, grab the obvious valuables in literally seconds, and get out and away variety. The door-to-door ruse is a perfect filter that there probably isn't a person or a big dog behind the door.

Door-to-door campaigns have always been an enormous nuisance, but in light of their use by criminals (well, more obvious criminals), it really needs to be prohibited.

Behavior genetics research on schizophrenia has been going on since I was born, in other words since long before most Hacker News participants were born. The crucial issue in the research, mentioned in the article kindly submitted here, is that any one gene only has a small effect on risk for schizophrenia. "Dr. Lander cautioned that each variant accounts for only a tiny portion of the risk of developing schizophrenia. 'It shouldn’t be used for a risk predictor,' he said." Behavior geneticists, such as those I know locally,[1] and the pioneer of behavior genetic research on schizophrenia[2] hope that large-scale genomic studies of the kind that are now possible will help tease out how gene differences between one individual and another interact with environmental influences to increase or decrease risk for schizophrenia, which should lead eventually to better treatments and better prevention strategies, through deeper fundamental understanding of the disease. It is plain that environmental factors matter too, because sometimes identical ("monozygotic") twins are discordant for schizophrenia.[3] This research path will be slow and frustrating, precisely because it is well known already that no one gene has strong effect, and no particular gene acts without interaction with the environment, but this kind of fundamental research is indeed necessary to refine the diathesis-stress model[4] of the development of schizophrenia.

AFTER EDIT: I'm still learning the rules about informed, thoughtful discussion here after 2073 days of participation as a registered user on Hacker News, so I'd be glad to understand what someone considered objectionable about this comment. I was just surfing by this comment to add a link emailed to me by Irving Gottesman, the prominent schizophrenia researcher who was mentioned in the acknowledgements of the book A Beautiful Mind. That link discusses the study in the journal Nature published today.

Is this open sourced? Or paid? I just signed up but still no word on whether this is paid or not.
GOG doesn't focus solely on old games anymore. They sell new games as well but they still focus on good games though. And obviously they remain DRM-free and work with publishers to convince them to release their games without any DRM junk attached, which is praiseworthy.

It's good that they are attempting to compete with Steam more - we need that. But in order to differentiate, it's not enough to make the client optional - they can also open source it to improve trust. That would set them apart from Steam even more.

You can vote for it on GOG's wishlist board:

https://secure.gog.com/wishlist/site/release_the_future_gog_...

At the very least they can document the protocol / API of the client to enable community alternatives. Vote for it as well:

What rate to charge for providing iOS Development consulting work?
I'm a mid to senior level iOS Developer. I have had about 3 years experience in iOS Development and 4,5 years in .NET with 3,4 apps in the app store and developed a few apps for clients/work (fixed price). I'm taking on this contract paying hour rate for the first time. I'm just wondering how much I should charge per hour?

We (10KB) have built our own CMS combining Rails and AngularJS. Our main goal for our CMS was to turn every website made with it in a Single-Page Application, but at the same time maintain support for server-side rendering.

We loved the combination of Rails and AngularJS, but we didn't like that we had to write a lot of stuff twice (ie. Rails routes & Angular routes, Rails controllers & Angular controllers). Therefore we have written quite some glue code to automatically generate AngularJS code from our Rails code. I have been wanting to make a full write-up of all our experience in combining Angular & Rails for a while now, but didn't get to it yet. I did write-up a quick and dirty way to automatically generate Angular Resources from you Rails controllers, though. (http://10kb.nl/blog/automatically-generate-angular-resources...)

And, if anyone has any questions about combining Rails & Angular feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

CouchDB and MongoDB: Let our query APIs combine
I couldn't ask someone to explain the similarities and differences between this and EDN could I? I realize that this seems more aimed at transferring data whereas EDN may have been more targeted at serialization (is that correct? please correct me if I'm misremembering) but I thought they covered similar use cases? (with EDN obviously not including the performance enhancements that transit seems to have).
I wrote a patch for Firefox too. While the experience was different, I applied the same method and it worked quite well. As a comment says it: the mentoring part is important, probably even more than the project itself. I saw that when trying to contribute to other large projects.

Contributing to Servo has its downsides too: things move quickly and can break, and many things are really unstable and unfinished.
It wasn't exactly clear from the post...how is this different from msgpack? Is it just an implementation of more complex data types on top of it?

I'm religious and my young children are believers - and yet we're all quite 'cynical.' Properly understood, doubt is a component of faith in our religion.

What I see lacking in children's (religious and non-religious alike) are the squashing of curiosity and questioning: Some of my children's friends have school curriculum that reads more like propaganda than facts and reasoning. And woe be the child that contradicts the local public-school teacher.

If this effect in the article was only contained to the religious, I'd be quite surprised, as the way some topics in some school are covered include a lot of hand-waving and rote acceptance.

Scott Alexander wrote a pretty decent rebuttal to the idea of science/technology stagnating since the moon landing:

>There seems to be this thing where people imagine something that would look really cool, and predict that if we work hard on it for fifty years, we’ll be able to pull it off. And then fifty years later, when barely any work has been done on it at all, they start looking for someone to blame.

>Missions to Mars. Lunar colonies. Giant floating solar power satellites. Undersea domes. Ten mile high arcologies. Humanoid robots.

>Whereas real technology doesn’t advance by heading in the direction of something that looks cool, unless some government or tycoon is throwing lots of money in the direction of coolness. Real technology hill-climbs towards things that are useful and profitable.

>Why haven’t we colonized space yet? For the same reason we haven’t colonized Antarctica. It’s very cold and not a lot of fun and if you go outside you die.

>In fact, Antarctica is preferable to space in pretty much every way. There is no reason to colonize space before you have finished colonizing Antarctica. And there is no reason to colonize Antarctica until you have finished colonizing Nebraska (population: 9 people per square km).

>I will maintain that even if we had enough space flight technology that elementary school classes routinely took field trips to Mars, Mars would end up with two or three scientific bases, a resort where tourists could take their pictures on Olympus Mons, a compound of very dedicated libertarians, and nothing else. No domed cities. No colonies fighting for independence. Think that’s implausible? School children take field trips to the Mojave Desert all the time, and it pretty much looks like that. Why should Mars prosper more than a much more habitable comparison area?

I didn't mean to claim "it will work just great" I claimed "it is supposed to be 6% more efficient of what we have now".

In theory, this particular comparison attack is entirely based on amount of operations, and by making it 6% longer we make it 6% easier to detect, am I right? My point is 6% is quite a significant improvement and instead of using regular technique I see in blog posts everywhere on the Internet, we should mention the possibility of tree-like patterns. Furthermore, for [01] alphabet it is gonna be about 90% improvement.

I'm hundred percent sure the technique was discovered by someone long time ago, but I'm confused I never saw that in casual articles (I read bunch of them recently).

This looks cool, at first. There is not enough information to know if it really is.

How does that work in real life? How do you provide those Docker containers? Just Dockerfiles?

Is it paid or open source? The domain suggest it is open source, but can't be found on your org.

It certainly looks cool, I just want to know more...so that I could know if I should be excited or not. Currently, I am more like "meh, maybe?"

As acdha above notes, he was. But the author incredulously blurted out that he himself had hit the button when he was told his supervisor had been fired over the event (maybe ten minutes later).

The reality was that his boss took the fall for him, which is awesome and terrible. Much of the discussion in this thread has been a tempest in a teapot due to missing context.

His supervisor took the fall to protect him, he was fired on paper, but it was his last day anyway, and he did actually get to work at the embassy again, as it really was a simple innocent mistake.

Though certainly one with serious, long-lasting consequences.

Yes. Download your full data set from them and run it through promethease. Last I checked you can use the desktop version, choose the paid version, and their amazon checkout implementation is broken so you get the new interface, faster processing, and you don't have to submit your genotype with identifying info that way.

Edit: specifically, I have two short form 5-HTTLPR (gs290) (serotonin transport) (and various other uncommon serotonin linked SNPs, some linked with suicidal behaviour and schizophrenia, woohoo), rs1800497(C;T), which would be the origin of my absent dopamine reward cycle, rs6323(G;G), which interferes with serotonin, dopamine, epineprine, and norepinephrine.

Oh, and I have a grab-bag of SNPs both common and uncommon, which taken together mean that the vast majority of antidepressants and many painkillers (opiates) simply do not work on me - no pain relief, just extra pain and nausea... fun times in hospital when I learned that one.

Sorry, but both of these benchmarks are terrible. First link compares run time of the whole programs, including start-up time, time for parsing file and printing out resulting matrix. I'm pretty sure matrix multiplication was the fastest of all these operations. I haven't read details of second benchmark (in fact, I've got lost in all these XXXFactories and couldn't find where things are actually happening), but I see no Python sources to compare with. So it's quite useless in this discussion too.

Also note, that performance was not the only point of my comment. In fact, my point was in simplicity of designing complex scientific systems. In Python you have excellent stack: NumPy + SciPy + Scikit-* + Pandas + Numba + Cython + Theano + Pylearn2 +... The list is endless, and all these tools may easily be used together. In R you have CRAN with everything you may ever be wanting. In Matblab you have a number of both - open-source and proprietary libraries. Julia community is also growing quickly. (Note, none of these libraries uses OOP as its primary paradigm.) And what about Java? Java has a little disjoint set of libraries that neither solve large set of problems, nor interoperate with each other well.
I think you might have it backwards. Those of us who work in tech, we're the tiny sample of oddballs living in a bubble.

As a videomaker, I was a little stunned by how 'imperfect' it was, for a few of the shots.

It has to be a conscious artistic decision, because it would be trivial to 'nudge' the frame around in an NLE (we'll assume Final Cut here, right?) to make sure the Apple logo never moved.

There are also some shadow inconsistencies that could've been skipped, there's no need to actually swap out the entire laptop for each shot, could just use the logo/sticker area.
