A person who believes to be socially superior could very well deliver their veiled insults using a cheerful and friendly external attitude. "snobbishly" doesn't really communicate anything specific. Is it referring to the speaker's inner belief? Or something about the face he is making while speaking? Body language? Tone? Especially, if the intent is to make a narrative remark that casts some kind of judgment or observation upon the content of the quotation, then the adverb is not a very good vehicle for that.

About: I've done some freelance gigs, and I'm looking for a permanent position where I can learn and grow. I love working with a team to figure out solutions to complex problems. I learn fast and I move fast.
I've been using Chromebook as only computer for the last year as a student/developer(/tech-entusiast) and I am very satisfied.

I have the Samsung ARM one, and I've installed chroagh[1] (super easy, run one command and you have an arch install) headless, so I have a complete linux terminal. SSH would also work.

Right now I'm looking to upgrade (to macbook air 11" I hope) for more power with the same 8h battery time.

As a mobile and disposable (cheap!) terminal (and browser!), I can definitely recommend a chromebook.

The first Unix machine I used had 2 megabytes of RAM and was connected to two dozen terminals serial. It ran on a 68020. It probably wouldn't be able to run Apache, but it ran all our accounting and managed production for a large-ish corrugated paper factory.

A Mac IIci is ridiculously powerful in comparison.
I'm glad you asked! I would encourage you to look at this article where YC recently announced how it will be backing bitechs: http://www.nature.com/news/start-up-investor-bets-on-biotech.... We are excited to see this shift in attitude towards biotech investing and wanted to jump on board early. What makes us a a fit for this is our business strategy that is a closer fit to the "style" of companies that come through YC. For a typical biotech with clinical targets in mind, to bring those to market after FDA approval and clinical trials is a long process with returns being 7-12 years down the line. In our case, there is an identified research tools market that we can tap into first that would make us profitable by next year. By establishing an early source of revenue, we mitigate risk for our investors. Through YC we have a platform and the opportunity to reach wider umbrella of investors to share our story and strategy with.

I've actually used dagger to transform a very simple library into IR. I had trouble trying/was unable to do the same with the other two projects.

You don't have to waste that many words. E.g. snobbishly can just turn into "with a smug look of derision", or whatever, and that's that. This is like 80% tell, 20% show.
The reason being that they get more and more expensive the longer they take to pay back. That's the clever part. States would probably rather just use other money to kill the loans faster. Remember the interest compounds over time.

Looks like you would have been tricked just like the states were. :(

These are worth so little now because the forecasts have these ballooning to almost impossible amounts for the states to ever pay back.

This is more an example of everyone loses.... except the market makers who still got their fees and the hedge funds that have some bargain basement assets to run through their algorithms.
I had a similar situation. I was diagnosed with stage ii testicular cancer after an ultrasound and a blood test, which consisted of a simple blood test for a particular female pregnancy hormone. I would have gladly paid for that test every year, hell every month, if they could have detected it earlier.

All that said, good luck with your treatment. That's a much tougher diagnosis than mine was.
FB's recommendation engine looks at the contacts shared by their users. If they see you in a friends address book, it will recommend them to you. I think it looks at name, location, email, cell etc... to make the connections.

As well as that, even though your friend is using a different email address to the one he uses to login to FB, I bet you that FB knows your friends other email and has made the connection.

Here is a fun little game to play - Create a brand new FB account using a brand new email and your actual cell number. The list of recommendations that FB will give you are people who have your cell number in their phone's contacts application. Really cool way of knowing who has your number.

Because you don't treat someone for a disease that they haven't been diagnosed for. The idea that you'd prophylactically give someone these nanodiamonds is a big stretch at this point... especially when the PR is that "It’s like having a flashlight inside your body that basically lasts forever." You really want to have a method for turning off the flashlight when you don't need it.

Now, if you have a patient that has been already diagnosed with cancer, and the nanodiamonds are used to monitor tumor progression or watch for metastasis, then that's a different story.

Note: these aren't the same as vaccines, since cancer isn't a communicable disease (largely).

How to report a problem with Google Talk to Google?
Recently[1] DuckDuckGo updated their XMPP server (Prosody) to the new version which makes server to server encryption mandatory. This broke federation with the Google Talk service, essentially cutting off all users who were communicating between these two services before. While the move to mandatory encryption is reasonable in this day and age, if Google won't fix that on their end, many would lose communication with majority of their contact lists.

Is there any way to report this bug to Google? Since Google focuses on walled garden / non federated Hangouts now, they don't make it easy to report anything about Google Talk to them. On the other hand they still run the service, so some maintenance should be normal to expect. Any advice how to reach Google with this problem?

Thanks.

Wow - I never expected to find Freemasons on HN. Don't know why but i thought it was a) dying out and b)it was for old people. Well older than my 43 years of age :)
The infamous Cloud2Butt browser extension strikes again.
I think HN adds to that tone by including "truck driver" in the title of the post. I suppose the inference is that truck drivers are not very smart; therefore, giving the title an interesting contrast. But the reality is that people become truck drivers (as well as any other profession) for any number of reasons.
'Yesterday, Jane and Jimmy walked home.'

You are literally adding fuel to the prescriptivist fire. Locative and temporal adverbs are (rightfully) banned from formal and news writing because they're useless or redundant at best and misleading at worst ('Yesterday, August 7, 2014, an unidentified driver crashed into a family of five heading home.' vs. 'August 7, 2014: an unidentified driver crashed into a family of five at the intersection of Main St and Governor Blvd in Albany, NY.'). In creative works, there's more lenience, but it's usually due to a character being the narrator or informal dialogue.

IMO people should use adverbs as literary scaffolding to get a thought down before later expanding on it (if expansion by the author is even necessary).
Japan in the 80s and into the 90s was like a vision of a an alternate future where technology could keep growing and happening infinitely. Some really interesting features from that time period. If people in the West thought all the 8-bit micro computers was hard to deal with, in Japan there were nearly countless models by many companies, sometimes competing with themselves! This went on into the 16 and 32-bit eras even. Japan really had a stunning alternative view of the future.

Do you want to buy a NEC PC-9801 or a Sharp X68000? How about a nice FM Towns from Fujitsu, the first home computer with a built in optical drive? But all my friends have a MSX computers! Okay, should I get the MSX 2+ or the turboR, from which manufacturer? I like Panasonic's model, but I heard Yamaha's has a good music interface. My friend has an old Fujitsu FM-7, but man the X1 Twin looks cool with it's integrated PC Engine! http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/JPNcomputers/Japanesecomput...

Amazingly, not a single one of these machines made it to the U.S. Commodore and Atari were simply far too dominant. Jack Tramiel even addresses keeping the Japanese out of the U.S. market as a principle concern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gmODkpnjO0

Also, not a single one of these architectures lives on today. I think the FM-Towns (an almost PC clone) and the Sharp X68k series went on the longest. But it's a tremendous surprise that so many personal computers were available, in a country that's never really been known for personal computer ownership. Even today, the typical Japanese office space is piled full of file cabinets and paper. It's like something right out of the 1970s and 80s. http://www.accountant-tokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/J...

All of the basic system architectures dead-ended. Most were using Z80s, which never evolved beyond the 16-bit-ish R800. 6502 variants were common, the NES ran on this, the SNES ran on a 16-bit variant 65C816. But that's it. The X68000 series ran on the Motorola 68k chips, which as we all know dead ended with the switch to the PowerPC line (which BTW, still powers all sorts of consoles today). The only system which picked up on the Intel lines was the FMTowns, but architecturally deviated from normal PCs enough that it's not compatible.

Japan during during and right after the bubble was amazing.

Can you add some specifics around the 'so much more'?
Interesting to see this take the same approach as Wolfenstein did: each unique column height had its own dedicated blitting function. This was pretty much the only way to get "real time" on a 286-level PC in the past.
This is amazing - this is something similar to the experience I want to provide for our internal engineering team.

Most developers get stuck on packaging their app, deploying it, managing it. This is one of those cases where it "just" works.

It would be really cool to try to replicate this in our AWS setup.

Did you read the article? It was about it being bad style (in fiction) because it bluntly tells the reader how to react instead of inferring it from a more fulfilling description. Nothing to do with some prescriptivist proposal to excise it from the language.

And the author admits it's only a heuristic, with exceptions, so they don't even disagree with you about the need to break rules at times.
There is this funny thing about progress that I think about sometimes. Most old people I've spoken too say that things were better when they were young. They also say that things are easier now. Sometimes I wonder if that is the disconnect technologists don't quite grasp.

Lots of low-end, non-premium-experience games are made with those things. And e.g. games that use Lua usually only use it for high-level gameplay logic, i.e. most of the running code is in C++ or something.

And yes, it's a problem.

See the other comments here about VR. With VR you want to render at 90 frames per second, in other words, you get 11 milliseconds to draw the scene twice (once for each eye). That is 5.5 milliseconds to draw the scene. If you pause and miss the frame deadline, it induces nausea in the user.

But this comment drives me up the wall:

"GC doesn't seem to be a show stopper for them, you just have to be smart about allocations..."

The whole point of GC is to create a situation where you don't have to think about allocations! If you have to think about allocations, GC has failed to do its job. This is obvious, yet there are all these people walking around with some kind of GC Stockholm Syndrome.

So now you are trapped in a situation where not only do you have to think about allocations, and optimize them down, etc, etc, but you have also lost the low-level control you get in a non-GC'd language, and have given up the ability to deliver a solid experience.

Bad trade.
Prevent authentication timeouts during long Chef runs
I brought up Minecraft as proof that gamers are willing to tolerate the occasional bit of lag. And, honestly, I haven't played an AAA game that doesn't lag out and drop frames from time to time.

To return to the topic at hand: 60fps is 16ms per frame. The proposed GC would achieve sub-10ms pauses. So, worst case you might drop the odd frame. To assume that Go is unsuitable for games because of garbage collection is to ignore reality.
I think Google no longer cares about XMPP or its federation especially since XMPP is not really build for mobile use. So I don't think they will fix this.

There is the Hangouts help forum where there is already a thread about it though but I wouldn't hope for a fix. If you want to use XMPP you need another provider or your contacts need another one.

Isn't that the attitude that the author was taking? Adverbs are bad, even if you don't remember why, just apply the rule!
> The whole point of GC is to create a situation where you don't have to think about allocations!

Nope. The point of GC is memory safety.

GC also means you don't have to think about freeing memory, which is important in concurrent systems.

But even if GC was about "not thinking about allocations", what's bad about only having to think about allocations when it's important? Code clarity trumps performance, except at bottlenecks.

Does this have any relation to the PennApps fall 2012 hack of the same name?
And it's worse, because... "only 60fps?"

60fps was fine pre-VR, but now you want to do 90fps times 2 eyes.

That's a lot of rendering.
> You're one zero-day browser crack away from revealing your private key.

You're still better off than any password scheme, which is often attacked from the server side. And the lovely thing about the PKI method is that you can invest as much or as little as you want into protecting the private key and have the server not care even a little. On the weak end is the unprotected private key file on your hard drive, followed by a private key that's passphrase-protected (and even with this, there's a spectrum of configurable behavior governing how long it stays decrypted), followed by private keys on a physical device, followed by a physical device that requires two-factor access.
It's interesting that I'm learning Groovy at the moment and I seem to see a lot of Groovy goodies in this draft. such as any.of?.these?.could?.be?.nullhey() or the record class very close to Lua.
I don't think that 5-line function will be understandable by the next programmer who has to deal with it though. That's my point. It probably involves a Fibonacci or other math trickery that not everyone might have fresh in their minds.
> Get over the schoolmarm rules.

Language wouldn't work at all without rules. The lack of rule enforcement for words like biweekly, biannually and bimonthly have made them functionally useless.

What do board game designers (and publishers) feel about this... I assume that it is relatively easy for IP to be ripped off, does the Vassal community self-police this? Or is it more a case of there are no sales lost due to the existence of copycat modules in Vassal since if you actually want to play the board game with friends in close proximity, you'll actually just buy the damn board game :-)

But I could potentially see lost sales of tablet implementations of board games; although those almost always codify the specific rules and logic of the game so again quite different to Vassal.

You're not alone - this happened to all parent with very young children that I know, whether both work or not. Keep struggling, it gets better.

I have one son, now 3 years old and a spouse who is also a coder. Here's how we did it:

When son was born, my spouse took 6 months off work whilst I continued to work full time. We were exhausted, house was a mess, lawn not mown etc. It was HARD, but we coped. Mum got to take a couple of short holidays, which helped her a lot.

At 6 months, Mum went back to work 2 days/week, with son attending childcare on those days. These are long days for us and son but great for his socialisation, learning etc. Mum gets to have an adult conversation and exercise her brain. House/lawn still a mess.

At 12 months, son started crawling. We had to learn to tidy up just to get the dangerous/breakable things out of his reach. Lawn still a mess, house is a little bit better.

At 2 years, son started walking (late developer, I know). He can now follow around the house as we do simple chores, but he also learned how to switch off the vacuum.

At 2.5 years, he is happy playing on his own just knowing that one of us is nearby. Mum & I can now tag team on weekends, she cleans whilst I sit with him or I mow the lawn whilst she reads him a story. House & lawn start to recover but we can't take on big projects.

At 3 years, son is potty trained. Words cannot describe just how awesome this is: we can go places, we can do activities, we can be people again!

Mum still works just two days/week but also has a side business and volunteers for some committees, flexibility is still very important. Son has childcare, kindergym, swimming lessons, early learning so lots of variety and learning opportunities. There have been some low points (kids get sick), but also small victories to celebrate.
