My 7yr old son is autistic and so much of what this article says and what others have commented, has been the same wild ride for us. He is a happy happy little person that wants to laugh and be loved (and eaten my Zombie Dad once in awhile.)

For the other parents out there, I don't know if they have it in your state but Ohio has things like the Autism Scholarship and grants from different Autism groups. Those really helped with those sessions not covered by insurance or being able to go to a school that provides a little more help.
Unfortunately, and as I share in my other post I have some experience in this, a parent's consideration of "normal" is not enough. One of the most poignant moments is when a child's behaviour is made fun of in a social environment like the playground. When this happens as you observe your child trying to build the first primal social bridges, you feel a little trapped, as there is no party at fault on this exchange. Children can be brutal, but this is part of their childness.

As an Asperger's myself, I have clear memories of trying to add curves to my movements to make them more normal, because I observed someone dancing badly. It was around the same age, so I guess it could be a developmental aspect in regions of the spectrum and not so much due to the specific reason assigned.
This was one of the least detailed and helpful disclosures I've ever seen.

Reading "encrypted passwords", and then "salted hashes" without any specification of the hash algorithm from a tech company like Mozilla is utterly astonishing to me.

I feel like whoever discovered this breach sent it over to the PR department without any sort of final review of the release by an engineer.
Not to mention it's always been easy to implement even when it wasn't bundled by default.

There is utterly no excuse for storing passwords with anything that's not PBKDF2, bcrypt, or scrypt starting in 2009.
I recently picked up Poetry of the First World War: an Anthology.

I don't read much poetry, but I get why Sassoon and Owen are considered a big deal. They are often poignant and brilliant and heartbreaking and beautiful.

I tend to ask what I think is a rather simpler question in most interviews: find the sum of the two largest (most positive) numbers in an array of arbitrary integers. Consider the efficiency of your solution for very large arrays.

It is amazing how many seemingly knowledgeable, intelligent people cannot do this. And the vast majority of those who do, do it by sorting the array, efficiency be damned.

Actually, I'd like a bit of feedback here. Is this something any decent developer should be able to do with ease? Should it be obvious that it can be done much more efficiently without running a sort on the array? Admittedly there are minor gotchas with things like the initial conditions, but still, I've been flabbergasted by how few people can even get close to a solution, let alone a bug-free and efficient one.
I don't think it's a replacement, since signing the new DLL would require a new key. (GAC DLL identity basically comes down to name + signing key. So even if you call it System.Whatever, it has a unique identity)

Maybe for your use case. The only thing I do with photos (other than back them up online) is share them with other people.
I did a really poor job of explaining myself. Really poor.

I meant the master password. Mitro's password strength meter uses guidelines which are becoming (are?) old. So let's just move away from that altogether (for passwords that people should remember) and doing something that makes it easy to use lots of characters.
I'm beginning to see those in the US, maybe within the past five years. Mostly tractor/trailer rigs rather than smaller trucks.

I'm a photographer, and I was a HEAVY user (and paying customer) of Picasaweb when it existed, from the day it was launched.

When they pushed everything into G+ it enraged me. They took away the nice, fast, minimal, grid-view albums and gave us a heavy social-network wrapped mess. They turned a powerful Flickr competitor into a "pretty" and feature-poor share-with-your-friends site.

It was embarassing to link to albums to my clients because it was basically me linking to a Facebook-style social network rather than a photo site. Throw in the "realname" bullshit so I couldn't use an alias for my photography, and blam... instant enraged ex-customer running CLI scripts to systematically wipe my 10 years of Picasaweb usage (you can't bulk delete on Picasaweb).

I was upset when they killed Reader, but I got over it. I was upset when they forced G+ onto YouTube, but I got over it (I just don't log in for YouTube now). I never got over them destroying the only semi-decent Flickr competitor that exists, all in the name of "OMGSOCIAL". I was a huge Google fanboy who now goes out of my way to avoid anything/everything they do, thanks to their G+ push.

I've since moved on to being not-so-happy Flickr user (the lesser of evils currently, for bulk photo hosting and album management).

For what it's worth, with people saying there's too many photo hosting sites... I still can't find ANY that are as good as Picasaweb or old-Flickr were. Easy bulk management of photos/albums and their metadata like tags/titles/descriptions/locations. Albums within albums. A SIMPLE UI that is friendly to non-tech-savvy clients/friends visiting. Minimal fluff. Lightroom integration. Etc etc.

Whether autism is a 'disease', 'illness' or 'disorder' is somewhat of a semantic issue at this point due to the fact that 1) those words can and are used interchangeably depending on social context, and 2)lack of understanding in the underlying mechanisms. Given Autism is a spectrum disorder, there are going to be those who take umbrage with being labeled, but also those who are clearly disabled and unable to care for themselves.

Some cases clearly present as a disease state, with autoimmune issues, neurological issues, etc. Whether these are comorbid conditions or really part of autism itself isn't clear at this point. The fact that children also commonly 'regress' following periods of normal development also argues in favor or some sort of disease state, for the same reason we call Parkinson's a disease.

I have a strong hunch that "Autism" as we know it will continue to be teased apart into a variety of more specific diagnosis. We've already seen this to some extent where other developmental disorders once lumped in with ASD have been specifically named following etiological discovery.

From my own experience: My son is autistic. I suppose he'd fall under the 'low functioning' side of the spectrum. He can't talk, doesn't understand language receptively very well, is incapable of controlling himself when excited, etc.

Anyway, I try to be involved (or at least aware) of every aspect of his education, and in doing so regularly visit his classroom. What strikes me most is that there is such large variability between 'autistic' individuals. There are some commonalities, unquestionably, but there are just as many differences. However, through regular observation I have noticed trends amongst the kids, or 'clusters' as I call them. I am sure social factors play a substantial role in the variability, but trying to see past that, it seems to me like there are different 'types' of autism.

Of course, I'm no autism researcher (though I've been involved in research at the MIND Institute), and don't pretend to be any sort of neuroscientist with only a BS in biochemistry and a few classes involving neurobiology years ago -- but I'm not the only one who notices this. It almost seems 'common knowledge' to the Occupational/Speech/Adaptive ...etc therapists and educators who deal with dozens of kids on a daily basis. That these subgroups of autism aren't more commonly researched/published really surprises me, and trust me, I look for them.

In time we'll uncover much more about neurological/genetic/epigenetic/microbial factors involved in these 'types' and probably result in a number of different formal diagnosis/treatments. I would not be surprised if those considered 'high functioning' are found to differ enough to warrant a separate diagnosis from those on the 'low functioning' side.

Your interpretation is not right. Al Qaeda is not all orchestrated by one mastermind, but it is a consortium of related Islamist extremist groups. It's pretty safe to say that anyone who identifies as a member of Al Qaeda is interested in killing civilians.
Ask HN: Does Node dominate at new startups?
I had a long conversation with an engineering manager at a public tech company. He told me, basically, "Ruby is dying. Most new, funded startups in SF/SV are building in NodeJS if it's a web-based app (or a mobile back-end)."

Is there any validity to this? Is there any recent survey data on what startups are using (or maybe what YC companies use)?
Hello, Ginny here, I'm the person behind Geek Grade. I'm glad to hear both of you found it interesting/neat, but it was also good to hear your concerns. I agree on TheyCalledHimBo's comment about presence and the need for more hangouts. We started with GitHub as the first site to help evaluate and we are close to releasing our next one here in the next few months with plans to add many more on over time. We don't base anyone's grades upon Twitter or LinkedIn, they are just included for convenience for joining and logging in, but there really isn't activities we can track on those sites that will attest to a person's technical skills.

Edoceo, with regards to the "looking for work" field on the profile, we are currently pulling that from people's GitHub profiles with the intent in the future of finding ways to help developers out who are looking for new work. That being said I understand your concern, we hate recruiter spam, so we will be very careful in how we approach the utilization of this data.

Thanks for the feedback!
I wonder if we shall sooner or later have locators~
Nice write-up. Thanks!

I wonder if the algorithm can adapt to recordings where the tempo isn't quite constant.

Amusingly, I first read "beat" as a verb in your title, and was expecting something cloak-and-dagger.

True, in the case of both the Wii and WiiU they are mostly higher clocked Gamecubes. This is why Dolphin started as a Gamecube emulator and added Wii support. About a year ago I talked with one of the Dolphin developers and he anticipate extending to the WiiU once we have the CPU headroom.
Sadly, the license of the library used to talk to the Oculus Rift (libOVR) is also under very restrictive terms - you can't use it with competing systems, can't distribute it in part, and lose the license if your users have health or safety issues with your product.

With the source code available, it's hard to make a clean-room reverse engineered version of the hardware communication layer and shaders.

I haven't actually seen the source code, so maybe me and someone with a DK2 could do it by sniffing USB packets.

Make just some tiny edit or write one line of code. Tell yourself that you're just going to do this one line. It gets you over the initial resistance and usually I end up writing a lot more than I intended at first.
Any device which modulates the surrounding radio waves has the possibility of causing radio interference, so it will need licensing and type approval. And something which generates wideband crud will never be approved.

This thing is not passive. It is receiving, modulating, and re-transmitting broadband signals.

The "rusty bolt" form of radio interference is one of the most common that interference investigators have to deal with.

I would argue that traffic law provides the answer. If you can't avoid violating any law, there is a clear sequence defined you should use to decide what law to violate (they're all numbered, TLDR is : violate the larger numbers first).

In traffic law people actually thought about this. First you are to safeguard pedestrians, then cyclists and motorcyclists then cars, then trucks/buses/... and finally yourself. Things like right side of the road, red lights, ... are far down. Things like trains/trams are tricky.

What is not generally understood is that this sequence matters. Most people realize that in order not to block an ambulance, you are not just allowed, but required to run a red light. Less known is that ignoring road safety, to some extent, is legal and required if you're bringing a seriously injured person to the hospital. If you can avoid a collision by crossing to the wrong side of the street, you are required to do that ...

So the legal answer here is simple and well-defined : Assuming you can't move to the other side of the road reasonably safely, you should slam your car into the truck (needless to say, as slowly as possible). You are certainly NOT to take liberties with the safety of pedestrians to avoid hitting a truck.

This is complicated by other laws of course. First you are not expected to do more than a certain "standard" human would do, second in this situation obviously there is a problem of intent when things do go south (did you intend to hit those pedestrians ? What about if you made that choice to avoid the truck ? What if you and the truck both decided to avoid each other and both went for the b). Who is the "root" responsible, and how is the responsibility divided amongst the people who violated the law ? So this makes legal culpability in these sorts of cases a murky area. If you slam your car into a kindergarten to protect yourself, though, I think it's reasonable to expect prison time and a hefty financial problem.

But the answer seems to be : if there is any way to avoid the truck, ignoring all normal traffic laws (but NOT hitting anyone), that's the way to go. If there's not, you hit the truck.

I've got a PictureLife account. I should get around to checking it out again.

To be honest, the same reason I started OpenPhoto/Trovebox is the same reason I don't trust a 3rd party service with my data. I noticed you guys supported personal S3 buckets. I'm curious how that worked out for you as that was one of our major differentiators (we supported upwards of 7 third party storage services, incl. storage at University of Southern California). We didn't find a market for it in the consumer space.

If you're in the bay area I'd be more than happy to grab a coffee.

Beef used to be more expensive as compared to chicken. It's cheap now because you can buy near worthless land and turn it into feedlots and ranches.

Those scale that you can operate on with modern, subsidized agriculture is unstoppable. A farm in upstate NY is 50-500 acres. A ranch in the high desert may be 50 miles^2. Also, the land isn't empty in the east, and people won't put up with the smell of thousands of cattle.

Stop giving away water to desert farmers. Prices will rise, and demand will shift to places where water is plentiful.
That Everpix data was fascinating. They had one of the best products on the market. I felt if anyone was going to make it in the consumer space for a paid photo service it was going to be Everpix. You can never tell how the internals of a startup are looking.
Unfortunately, I do not. Even though I personally learned on one of the big boys, I'd still pay somebody else to do this who has it as their dedicated job (like Amazon or Google). It's just not worth the headache and constant monitoring.

At minimum you need conservative rate limiting and monitoring that will page you when you start sending out gobs of traffic.
Show HN: Instant Targeted Youtube Playlist – Try Searching A Band
I do like Google+, but am not a regular user. Might use it more if it had more activity since I like the way it encourages networking around ideas more than networking around who I already know. I've never used Facebook for that reason -- my social circle is somewhat small and close-knit.

All that is a prelude to my total agreement with you. Of all the features of G+, Photos is the one I use most. Auto-Awesome and now Stories are both extremely cool. When combined with the simple filtered sharing G+ allows, it pretty much comprises the majority of my G+ use.

I'd be very surprised if they didn't keep them tightly related.

I noticed the other day that Docs and Drive were also being somewhat separated from each-other (unless I completely misread the popup for the 2 seconds I glanced). Perhaps they are simply realizing that the "One Google Social Everything" approach wasn't all they thought it would be, and are separating things out some to reduce some systematic complexity it's introduced?

Interesting to see where it leads.

Why would they need to flush the water? If they did, and it's not coming into contact with any major contaminants, why couldn't it go more or less directly back into the water supply after maybe a trip through a treatment centre?

For that matter, wouldn't it be even more efficient to use something like seawater? They are on an island after all.
Hey folks, I'm the author of this library.

I actually renamed it to 'butterdb' a while ago because some people found fuckitdb hard to swallow. You can check out the code here: https://github.com/Widdershin/butterdb. I have grown a bit as a programmer since then, but I appreciate any feedback you might have.

I actually used this in production against my own recommendation to run the matching for /r/longboarding's Secret Santa. All of our data came from Google Forms, so it just made sense.

Hit me up if you have any questions.
I'd expect anyone I interview to be able to do that, kind of like fizzbuzz.

It's okay if they pull out the sort-the-array solution first, but I'd definitely try to get them to improve it.
Why would I want to use any pc in the world? That makes no sense unless your work doesn't involve security of any kind. Besides you can carry your work environment using a virtual machine too.
FizzBuzz is a reasonable way to find people who can't code. I've been surprised to find people with resumes that appeared decent who couldn't complete FizzBuzz even given 20 minutes of time to do it in.
It's similar to the original pre-Microsoft design in many ways, but ZT is actually less asymmetrical in that client and "server" run the same code. A supernode is just a regular node blessed as such. (And at a fixed address with a lot of bandwidth.)

Supernodes are important because they permit instant on, rapid lookup, and almost instant nat traversal. They also bridge sparse multicast groups as described here.

Both Skype and Spotify have backed away from p2p. In Skype's case I suspect PRISM. I don't know why in the case of Spotify. That seems like an ideal application. Since a file is not a moving target, a lot of the problems in distributed databases disappear. That's why BitTorrent magnet links van work pretty well, though I bet a determined attacker could Sybil the Kad DHT to death.
