Recommended read, from a fellow ex-poker player. I was expecting a bad beat story at some point, but you got around it nicely :)

This kind of emotional roller-coaster is your every day life as a poker professional, especially if you play tournament poker which is the highest variance form of them all. Even as you get used to a certain amount of pain, your worst downswing is always ahead, if you play enough hands.

The one way I know to handle it is to train yourself to never think about what could have been. What's in the past is in the past. You decided not to do that and quit though, which is always a sensible decision and I'm glad you wrote about it so beautifully.
I'm not sure what they would use myself but based on the prequel questions they ask people plus some heuristics they can determine roughly were you sit within the populous on a number of aspects between age, class, income, location and political inclination etc.

If a poll is biased towards political inclination they can exclude that from the selection criteria to avoid result bias.
Ambiguity is program / feature names is a constant (and growing) issue. Though less(1) is the rather more established of these two instances.
By the way, Tyler Cowen has an interesting link on this (Citing the FT): note that financial services are the biggest part of Scotland's GDP now, and getting away from the pound would affect that: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2014/09/doe...

Also, the default action of the cursor keys is more useful for paging in less than in view. In view, cursor keys move the cursor; in less, they scroll the screen.

And less has built-in tailing which you can start and stop at any time. That's its killer feature for me.

On the other hand, vim/view can have some nice syntax highlighting for syslog format log files. I haven't found that enough to switch though.
Clarity, without having to follow through to the article.

The lack of any context for HN posts (also reddit link shares) is a significant disadvantage of both sites. I've always been partial to Slashdot's link summaries, and wish that style were more widely used. See also Jakob Nielsen and microcontent.
What exactly did you try to google? "username blacklist" brings up some pretty good results for me. [1] It's also worth searching github for similar blacklists. [2][3][4][5]

Overall, I'd advise against giving subdomains to users, too.

Even in England, the population isn't dense enough except in, say, London to support same day grocery deliveries, it's usually the next day, with a minimum spend (not much though), and often a charge of £1-£5 depending on time of day.

The problem with London, however, is that even compared to other large world cities, the density of food stores is so high that it's easy to get ingredients.. and the sort of people who are active enough to cook their own food are also the sort who'd be happy to pop out for five minutes for ingredients they can touch and feel first.
I think it's perhaps more accurate to say that business leaders in Scotland are split just the same way that the rest of the population is:

JWT contain a payload, thus the token itself can contain auth information, while OAuth tokens are "dumb" and you have to store the token somewhere serverside to verify authentication.
This makes JWT great for simple APIs.
While we're talking less(1) features, one I stumbled across a few years ago when wishing really hard that less supported an interactive regex line filter, was its interactive regex line filter:

&pattern

Which will: Display only lines which match the pattern; lines which do not match the pattern are not displayed. If pattern is empty (if you type & immediately followed by ENTER), any filtering is turned off, and all lines are displayed.

I'd prefer this followed a syntax closer to mutt's filters, and that the patterns were editable (e.g., typing '&' during a filter would show the currently extant filter for modification), but it's handy.
Phenomenal work, well done. I was slightly disappointed that the (beautiful) blog post was not authored in R Markdown. ;-)

One comment, your analysis only takes into account data up to July of this year. It is entirely plausible that the recent debates could have affected the polls dramatically (there’s precedence for this, prime example being the Kennedy–Nixon debate), something that the BBC data is consistent with.
Oh really? To play devil's advocate for a moment, why don't you extend the same courtesy to them that the left do to Islam? I'm sure those lynchers were just a few bad apples, a few extremists, and you can't judge the whole organization for their actions. Right? Or maybe not.

Ask HN: Moving from London to Amsterdam
I'm a front end developer considering a move from London to Amsterdam. I'm a contractor and I love being a contractor, so I don't want to take a full time position. But I'm having a hard time deciphering the rules and requirements for living and working in Amsterdam as a contractor. If any contractors have made the same move, I'd welcome any advice they may have.
Only in low FPS scenarios (it becomes even worse if the FPS is low AND wildly varies). For a toy like this there is nothing wrong with using Euler.
Many moons ago I mentioned the story of "more" and "less" to our (female) DBA, who was unfamiliar with the commands, and the expression "less is more".

"It's right in the manpage, actually". "No." "Yes, I'll send it to you."

And so I did, with the subject line "man less".

She sat at a desk right in front of mine, and I detected a somewhat painful silence as the email arrived. And realized I'd just inadvertently commented on her social life (confirmed through later conversations).
That's probably the least creepy thing about Facebook.
The UK already has very low corporate taxes, so Putting it even lower could be interesting.

Spain has said they will be fine with it since it's bilateral. It's unilateral independence they wouldn't be ok with.
I do not feel that it is a good idea to further encourage or embed a precedent in this direction. We've had too many cases going in that direction already. I would far rather see cases establish a precedent that, if no harm is otherwise caused, then the act of confirming a security flaw is not unlawful in its own right.
I don't think there is a "frame". It solves for all particles all the time.

After all, if a particle leaves the viewport, it doesn't affect the particle count readout at all.

I assume if things move far enough, there would probably be interesting floating-point precision errors, but I'd imagine that would take quite a while.
I think you hit on the key point so many are missing; apparel is rarely about functionality.

Technologists understand the comparative value of functionality; they generally do not understand the value of fashion.

For example, I see so many techies thinking people are "stupid" to keep buying "shiny Apple stuff". That only shows a shallow understanding of "software is eating the world". People spend WAY more money on apparel than they do tech. The next wave of tech growth is much less about smart refrigerators, and much more about smart socks & belts.

Just like everyone wears shoes, EVERYONE is going to have a smartphone, soon. This is a profoundly new thing.
My vote also. If used with dropbox you can also sync it with all devices.
Zero multiplication
Armstrong's thesis is more complete, but at 295 pages vs. 5, lacks the ready assimilation of the 5 page treatment. There are trade-offs.

Moreover, Cook's piece is very broadly applicable, it doesn't apply just to software systems.

Big data tools
The existence of shareware was mostly due to an information imbalance and difficulties in distribution. These factors went away when the internet became ubiquitous and fast. Trialware and nagware still exists, though.

Today, the distribution and adoption challenge is mostly solved through open source software, so I'm guessing that people who would have been shareware authors in the 80s and 90s are simply doing open source (with commercial support, corporate sponsorship, and/or dual licensing) or are working on closed-source commercial software. For that last category, the internet has also lowered the barriers tremendously in every conceivable way.

My guess is the spirit and complex motivations of software authors have not fundamentally changed but have morphed to fill a different eco system.

I think they are numbers, more specifically showing device dimensions & others may refer to some formulas .

The Arabic notation for numbers as we know it now (1,2,3 ..etc) wasn't yet formed! i suppose!!

You will find most of the mentioned symbols in this image showing the developing of numbers

Note: (in the image the development in vertical, first line lists numbers from 1 to 10)
Note that they're talking about headers of the packets, not HTTP headers.

HTTP headers are in the packets, and I could see myself very very very easily writing "of the packets" in lieu of "in the packets". When proofreading, I'd be much more likely to catch the extra "3" in that same sentence, than to catch the s/in/of/ as introducing confusion.
Thanks for that angle, my fathers family is protestant, as most are in the north of The Netherlands, and I never identified much with any religion at all. I feel this held me back when trying to convey my belief system to theists.

With the angle of protestant beliefs I can perhaps just convince them of their value, and let them figure out the rest on their own.
NSFW warning!!
"Pro government" is maybe a little strong. The BBC is funded by the government under an "arms length" arrangement with license fees; it is (understandably) nervous about doing anything that annoys the government enough to make it reconsider this status.

That doesn't mean that the BBC actively endorses the government of the time, but rather that it tends to prefer not to rock the boat too hard. It's never been - and never will be - a hotbed of edgy, controversial content. You could describe its objective as "quality content that isn't going to be hated by too many people".

The True Story of Audion (2004, Featuring SJ)
So, i bring three things wherever i go:

- Sticky notes: Yes, a small sticky notes is enough. I write down all my to-do list _at that day_ in that small sticky notes. If my todos do not fit on single sticky note paper, i must write it on another paper (for another day).

- A small book: B5/A5 size is good. It is very effective when i am unable to pick up my phone (e.g.: in commuter). I write most of my ideas there.

- Google Keep (within my Phone): Seriously, i have tried Evernote, Springpad, etc, and nothing suits my usecase. I don't need categories, tags, etc. What i need is stream, because i don't care my old notes. I don't care about reminder a month ago to buy a juice for my mom. I only care about newer notes.

Caveat: apparently published under an "Early Access Program" as of now, where "EAP build doesn't require any license and can be used freely for 60 days.", and "Please note that the quality of EAP versions may at times be way below even usual beta standards."

Now, my most important question, that I couldn't find answer for on the pages, is: does it provide "Find all references", and one that would correctly resolve references in advanced templates? (i.e., better than Eclipse CDT's)

Closely related are Celine's Laws, particularly the 2nd:

Accurate communication is possible only in a non-punishing situation.

From Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy.

From Wikipedia: ""communication occurs only between equals." Celine calls this law "a simple statement of the obvious" and refers to the fact that everyone who labors under an authority figure tends to lie to and flatter that authority figure in order to protect themselves either from violence or from deprivation of security (such as losing one's job). In essence, it is usually more in the interests of any worker to tell his boss what he wants to hear, not what is true."

Ha!

people are down voting me because their small minds think it is an iPhone vs. Android talk

I live here in Nigeria. You would be hard pressed to find iPhones. Many people in the UK/US are surprised to learn that we buy our phones full price. ZERO monthly payments.

As a result, people will buy what they can afford. You can find a lot of very functional sub $100 Android phones. Even Windows phones have a better penetration because of cost.

If this is a product targeted at the West, I would not have commented but this is called Malawi App for a reason.

It is not about poor people deserving poor devices as @mamcx has suggested but people going to buy what they can afford.

If you can reach 5X the number of people with the same amount of buying iphones and the disadvantage is obviously (if any) is not 5X, it is not a clear decision?
I read the article. It was interesting but like so many others it puts all the blame at Reagan's feet, and brushes over the culture of extreme paranoia the Soviet leadership had at the time due to poor intelligence:

"The greatest catalyst to the Able Archer war scare occurred more than two years earlier. In a May 1981 closed-session meeting of senior KGB officers and Soviet leaders, General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev and KGB chairman Yuri Andropov bluntly announced that the United States was preparing a secret nuclear attack on the USSR"

In China you can get away with transferring other peoples assets to yourself without asking, if you're powerful. In the US they'd sue your ass. In Singapore you couldn't get away with it either I'd imagine. I bet you wouldn't love it if you had a business in China and some local grabbed it.
I'd gladly queue around the block to get mine! Too bad it's somewhere in Central Europe.

More seriously, I have made my employers buy most of their products over the years, and when I have no job I pay with my own money for their products to do personal stuff.

I've been looking for something like this of late. I like Evernote, but I don't like keeping such a valuable treasure trove of notes on another server.

I looked at Laverna, also turtlr, and a few others.

Eventually I settled on Tiddlywiki - http://tiddlywiki.com/

It's simple, runs well on a server, and is decent in a mobile web browser. What's missing is web clippings, which I love doing. For that I use 'scrapbook plus' in Firefox.
The difference between correlation and causation is merely conventional. Does the striking of a match cause it to ignite? There is no way to prove that it does, only the correlation between the striking and the ignition makes us say they're causal. Correlation is the only way to determine what's causal and what's not.

On the other hand, if you want to look at it philosophically, then the only sensible definition of "causation" is "anything necessary for a thing to exist." So what's necessary for a thing to exist? Every other thing in the universe that is not that thing! Pluto causes us to exist right now because it hasn't turned into a giant space goat and swallowed the Earth. Yes, the fact that something DIDN'T prevent the existence of a thing is also ultimately a cause of that thing's existence. Causation in its purest form can help us understand the nature of reality, but it can't help us predict anything. It's only when we draw a line between causes that we can control and causes that we can't that it becomes a practical tool (not that understanding reality isn't practical).

So you can see, this whole correlation != causation discussion is pure nonsense. Get some philosophical skill before you try to discuss philosophical issues and stop embarrassing yourselves. Sheesh, it's ridiculous.
Your fail-safes are themselves the source of faults and failures.

I've seen, just to list a few:

Load balancers which failed due to software faults (they'd hang and reboot, fortunately fairly quickly, but resulting in ~40 second downtimes), back-up batteries which failed, back-up generators which failed, fire-detection systems which tripped, generator fuel supplies which clogged due to algae growth, power transfers which failed, failover systems which didn't, failover systems which did (when there wasn't a failure to fail over from), backups which weren't, password storage systems which were compromised, RAID systems which weren't redundant (critical drive failures during rebuild or degraded mode, typically), far too many false alerts from notifications systems (a very common problem even outside IT: http://redd.it/1x0p1b on hospital alarms), disaster recovery procedures which were incomplete / out of date / otherwise in error.

That's all direct personal experience.

I still don't get it. Been on reddit since 2006 and it is still by far the best platform for online communities. The level of discussion is unparallelled, if you are specific with what subreddits you subscribe to.
Exposure is key... You're most likely going to pair-program with one of the more experienced coders to get up to scratch.

Always remember that you're new, this is their code and there are conventions and nuances that you need to figure out along the way. (Meaning ego is a definite no-no)

It may feel a bit overwhelming at first but always try to figure things out as much as possible and remember to ask for help if you're truly stuck, eventually you'll just slip into place.

It's easy to forget that you're not only dealing with code, you're dealing with a new culture, overhead of actually understanding unfamiliar code base and probably stress of needing to keep up with everyone else.

What you need to remember is that you can actually program, it's the overhead that's slowing you down, so stop stressing, relax and get a feel for your other teammates.

In the end, you're all working towards a common goal, you need to augment each other, not work against.

Hope that helps.
Why do they use a loaded word like 'defect'?

Is the man somehow conscripted and should he be shot on sight for joining the enemy? Really, he should be free to change jobs at the level, just as it is ok for other high level people to change jobs without using such incredibly loaded language. A job change is never a defection.
The BBC is not pro-government currently, and wasn't pro-Labour after the Iraq War. I think the best way to describe the BBC's bias is "pro-Guardian" (a left-leaning newspaper).
