I love how you frame things as if I'm just pointing fingers and may just as well blame inanimate objects.

I'm unclear on my position here, but I do see the argument for reparations.

Nice article, definitely piqued my interest in the lambda calculus, but there were a few points that were confusing for me as my first glimpse at the lambda calculus.

The first confusing point was the lack of definition of the order of operations. I first stumbled at the line (λy.(λx. x) y) a b . Is this supposed to be (λy.(λx. x) y) (a b) or ((λy.(λx. x) y) a) b . In this case both give the same answer, but it's not obvious that associativity holds in general.

It gets worse with the Y combinator: λf. (λx. f (x x))(λx. f (x x)) . Is this (λf. (λx. f (x x)))(λx. f (x x)) or λf. ((λx. f (x x))(λx. f (x x))) . Peeking ahead, it seems to be the latter, which makes more sense (otherwise the letter f would be pressed into service in two different contexts), but it's totally ambiguous from the rules that have been presented in the article.

The other point of confusion was regarding rule #3 (If t and s are both valid λ-terms, then t s is a valid λ-term.) The article tells is a certain manipulation we can do if t is a "function" (i.e. something that begins with a λ, I don't know the technical name for this), but doesn't say what to do if t is not a "function". As far as I can tell the answer is: do nothing, there is no simplification in this case. It would be nice if this was said explicitly.

> I use Linux on my desktop because I need something that just works.

Agreed - I still use Linux on my desktop for this reason as well. I can have years' worth of uptime, if need be. I haven't used a Thinkpad, which the comment below suggests is a better laptop/Linux experience, and I have had some annoying issues with Wifi drivers, etc while using non-Ubuntu versions of Linux. There's also inevitably some corporate software of some variety that you run into that needs IE/Safari, so it's nice to have them around. The software for my GPS has no Linux installer, and while that isn't a deal-breaking fact, I use that software to plan climbing and skiing trips, so it's nice to have. It's one more voice saying "pay for the convenience" I suppose.
I'd credit my early reading, particularly loads of non-fiction, with a good portion of my academic success as a kid.
> I have friends who are out of space and friends who have plenty. Which one is the truth?

Both.
This is fascinating. It really shows how racially segregated a lot of cities are. But from my knowledge of a few cities where I've lived, all the "cool" places to live are very mixed. Not sure if that says more about my idea of desirable places to live or the effects of gentrification, but this map is definitely very thought-provoking.

Thanks for sharing.
You should give more details about what music can be played : from guests clients device and streamed to the host or solely music stored locally on the host computer ?

Facebook's Messenger App Is Tracking a Lot More of Your Data Than You Think
I've been using Siri for years. Texting is occasionally hit or miss (although simple things like "On my way" or "Be there in 15" are reliable), but there are a ton of things that are way quicker than typing (and completely reliable). "Directions home", "Movies playing near me","Open app X","What was the last Tigers score","Call Amy",most Google searches...

Maybe it's my flat midwestern accent, but I find that Siri gets it right almost all the time with these things, and I find it way more natural and fast than hunting for an app icon, especially while driving/walking/biking.
Marxism had a broad impact beyond "explicitly Marxist countries", and all of the latter were actually explicitly Leninist, which, despite claiming continuity with Marx, rejected core elements of Marx's theory of the necessary conditions for socialism and substituted them with top-down paternalistic vanguardism. (This was a general theme, even before Lenin, in Russian "Marxism" -- and certainly includes Trotsky, though.)
Denver had awesome food when I was up there recently! Boggles my mind that my colleagues were hitting up McDs!
The problem is with early picking and forced ripening to allow longer selling distances and better shelf life. I agree with you completely, too. I live in an ag-heavy southern state and the local produce we get is as good as any I've had anywhere. I actually live next door to a strawberry farm and we take the kids to pick them a few times every spring. :)
Perhaps they're going for the low hanging fruit first?

Canada already has an established exchange with 10 ATMs located across the country and an established debit mastercard program. Plus there's a second exchange that has been advertising heavily for the past year.

Coinbase's efforts in Canada would probably fall on deaf ears at the moment. Anybody in Canada wishing to purchase Bitcoin has been (somewhat) easily capable of doing so for the past 3 years.
In theory. In practice, you could get away with supporting just iPhone and iPad layouts, or one or the other if not going Universal. (And Autolayout helps you move forward when you're ready pretty easily.) Also, you don't have to worry about things like graphics hardware differences, poorly-implemented APIs, and OS versions nearly as much.

Is it even possible to tell the difference between the iPad and iPad Mini in software? When it first came out, it wasn't, on purpose.
Agreed. And calling pornographic content "harmful" without any further characterization clearly shows that the author has some deeply rooted, unjustified bias.
In addition to several of the ones already mentioned by others, I'd include Free as in Freedom - http://faif.us/ - It covers legal and policy issues in technology (particularly FOSS), rather than technology directly, but I think it fits your question. I find it provides some good depth on issues that aren't covered as fully or as often as on other podcasts, if you are interested in legal issues.
Show HN: ZEEF – Extensive Dev Collections
I'm an avid podcast listener, and here are some of my favourites off the top of my head:

Radio Lab (science) -- http://www.radiolab.org/

THE science show to listen to. If you're going to listen to anything from this list, this is the show to listen to. It's very well produced and always interesting. Their most controversial show was Yellow Rain (http://www.radiolab.org/story/239549-yellow-rain/).

=====================

Freakonomics (science/economics) -- http://freakonomics.com/

I often consider this show to be Radio Lab's counterpart. Their headline is "exploring the hidden side of everything". Every single episode is fascinating (here is the show "Cobra Effect" to get you started: http://freakonomics.com/2012/10/11/the-cobra-effect-a-new-fr...). The shows all lean toward a very economist-like way of looking at things, so unless you're in the field, you'll enjoy much of the insights that come about because of this.

=====================

Planet Money (economics) -- http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/

Just a well-produced podcast about money and its long-reaching tendrils. Shows usually focus on interesting stories about money/finance that are in the "background" and go otherwise unnoticed by the population at large.

=====================

TED Radio Hour (everything) -- http://www.npr.org/programs/ted-radio-hour/

Basically a radio version of TED talks. However! It's very well produced and every show is basically made for radio. It's not just TED talks with the video part stripped out.

=====================

This American Life (everything) -- http://www.thisamericanlife.org/

The most downloaded podcast for a reason.

=====================

The Irrelevant Show (comedy) -- http://www.cbc.ca/irrelevantshow/

Fantastic comedy sketch group from Canada. Their most famous cast member is probably Mark Meer (Shepard's voice actor in the Mass Effect games). While some of their sketches can fall flat, more often than not they make me smile. Their humour has a very Canadian slant, so unless you're living in Canada, sketches about, say, Canadian law and politics, might be a little more difficult to decipher. :)

=====================

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (comedy) -- http://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/

The only show that actually manages to consistently make me laugh out loud in public. It's a news trivia show with a panel of well-established comedians and writers that participate in the game. Highly recommended.

> In trying to find out if, generically, there is a causal effect between salt intake and blood pressure, it is sensible to select a healthy population.

That only holds if the causal relationship does not affect health in any other way.

> The hypothesis being tested is "In good working condition, the human body maintains correct NaCl levels".

Maybe I'm misinterpreting things, but isn't maintaining correct NaCl levels is by definition part of a good working condition? Sounds a bit circular.

Sorry, I meant blame-throwing is an interesting exercise, for a sense of history if nothing else. But 'reparations' means payment for having wronged someone, usually a group. Using historical precedents of harm seems very indirect to me, to justify handing a check to someone born a century after that harm. Clearer?

Cool! Apple wants to do secret santa album trades!

If you were lucky enough to get the free album, please show your appreciation this week and give Apple a mix tape/cd!

Simply, go to your local Apple Store and hide a cool mix tape in the store for Apple to find and enjoy! Maybe slip one in between the $300 usb hard drives, or discreetly place a mix of your favorite 90's groups under a shiny MacBook Pro!

Apple is really opening up the world to sharing. Let's share with Apple our love of music too!
Agreed. I had to run a test party and login as a guest in order to find out it expected a YouTube link. That should probably be more visible. Since the sources seem similar to Blip.FM, you might check how they handle this.
> Are you now an "Apple guy" because you have money to spend and no longer consider Apple devices overpriced for their value, and you now value your time more?

This is definitely a big part of it, yes. I could make it work with Android/Linux, but I can afford Apple products now. Also, as a 100% remote developer, I need my laptop/phone/ to be totally reliable, or it reflects on me professionally. For this reason also I am far less tolerant of say, random battery life issues with my phone. Additionally, some proprietary software (quite annoyingly) only runs in Windows/OSX. Again, I could boot a VM, but I'd rather not, and I suppose these days I can (literally) afford not to.
Good observation. Get the pitchforks!
Contactless is supported in the UK as well (usually up to a £20 minimum), but isn't nearly as widely supported as chip +pin, and I certainly don't know anyone who uses it regularly.
Man, I really have the impression that my video-on-demand service has a better understanding of ensuring availability and risk-management than either my bank or any government service.

I doubt that too many do, or at least many that are actively maintained.

The introduction of the taller iPhone 5 screen, and Apple's subsequent rejection of "letterboxed" apps (ones that don't make any use of the additional screen space) mean that most developers will almost certainly have switched to autolayout.

Angry Birds is just a single example (and one that has him interested in the physical versions). It's hardly the only option - plenty of creative puzzle apps, reading apps, etc. are available and a lot of them are quite good.

That said, I'd say Angry Birds has given my son a lot of practice in perseverance, problem solving, and not getting frustrated when something doesn't work first time.
Dots should darken (or enlarge) when zooming in; as-is, because the dot-density decreases, the image as a whole lightens and becomes difficult to see at high zoom levels.
Have a plan.

If you don't have a plan, money can quickly evaporate. Very quickly.
Indeed. For the modern Android dev, there aren't that many aspect ratios that you really need to support.

Most modern phones are 16:9 (720, 960, 1080). There are still a few stragglers (Motorola in particular), but they're becoming a thing of the past.

You basically have three aspect ratios to worry about right now: 16:9, 5:3, and Motorola's 427:240.

With iOS, you have 3:2, 4:3, 71:40 (iPhone 5), and now these new iPhone 6 internal aspect ratios that get hardware resampled.

The actual title of the submitted resource is "The Racial Dot Map: One Dot Per Person for the Entire U.S." I'm pretty sure that this has been submitted to HN before. It loads rather slowly on my computer here. A zoomed-out view does do a good job of showing the remarkably low population density of the Great Basin in the western United States, which was formerly known as The Great American Desert. Presence or absence of sources of abundant fresh water has a huge influence on population distribution in the United States.

A zoomed-in view of my metropolitan area, the Twin Cities of Minnesota, shows the overall conurbation of the two cities and their suburbs reasonably clearly, but with some rather odd blank spots on a closely zoomed-in view that appear to correspond to census tracts with few actual residences, not matching the actual distribution of built-up or undeveloped areas in quite the way that most residents of this area would expect. (Some of the blank spots in south Minneapolis correspond to lakes in the City of Lakes.) Of course an industrial park can have a high daytime occupancy of interacting human beings while being almost empty at night, and the other way around for a residential zone.

For any data collected by the United States federal government about race, one has to go to the definition statements from the Bureau of the Census: "The U.S. Census Bureau collects race data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and these data are based on self-identification. The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. In addition, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include racial and national origin or sociocultural groups. People may choose to report more than one race to indicate their racial mixture, such as 'American Indian' and 'White.' People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race."[1] All of the definitions are arbitrary, and some are very arbitrary indeed and imply divisions of personal behavior that don't exist in actual practice. (My household is poorly defined by the Census data gathered under the OMB rules, and I live with people of another "race," whom I prefer to regard as my fellow human beings, every day of my life.) In Minneapolis, it's not a big surprise to see concentrations of "black" people (historically African-American people in north Minneapolis and recent Somali immigrants in south Minneapolis). In St. Paul, the "Asian" people are mostly recent Hmong immigrants. Hispanic people (mostly recent immigrants from Mexico) have increased greatly in number in this area in my lifetime. A typical set of signs at a public library in the metropolitan area will be written in English, Spanish, Somali, and Hmong here.

vast majority of the people complaining about the Big Soda ban don't buy big sodas

Isn't that a bit like saying that only African Americans are allowed to stand up to racism?

the rage is on a theoretical level

If individual liberty and personal responsibilities are only theories. I don't happen to agree.

But they already do this in a gazillion different ways

So because they get away with it in harder-to-grasp and harder-to-politically-oppose ways, we should just submit to all of it?

I know you are thinking, "but I can resist soda; I understand the risks"

You obviously have no idea what I'm thinking. I think about the bigger picture of a society of sheep that elects wolves to make all their decisions for them because the sheep are too busy watching the NFL and Miley Cyrus to be bothered to make decisions for themselves and take responsibility for those decisions. I ponder the paradox of a populace too stupid to decide whether or not to drink a soda but smart enough to elect angels who will protect them from themselves.

Because "some other omnipotent entity" allowed them to exist

You're totally and completely wrong yet again. I'm an atheist. How does that affect your rationalization of letting others use force to make the smallest decisions in life for you?
Apple Watch battery life reportedly 24 hours; Device is not waterproof
i also find attractive the idea of cultivating the 'maker' & 'tinkerer' in a kid.
why?
Like for the 70s-80s born generation i recognize the 'need' to understand the underlying 'structure' up to a point where it may sparkle interest in or not. Legos, mechanical tinkering, household tinkering, entry level electronics, modeling etc. did the same for us imho.

Of course, has to be balanced with other things like arts, sports etc. I don't think anyone is capable of correctly identifying the 'calls' of one's kid unless you see their reactions. If that reaction is biased because the kid sees your passion into something a parent is doing, than be it. (s)he will try to overcome the master in an appropriate setup.
We took a different approach from the parents in the article to technology with our kids, and I think it was the right thing (for us).

My goals were to provide good exposure so that our kids would view technology in a healthy way: tools to help them create and learn, devices that can bring the world to them, and a healthy understanding that there are dangers beyond our walls. I wanted them to be technologically astute, instead of taking an aversion or negative view.

I wanted them to burn through the "magical" effect of tech early on. We put desktop PCs in our kids' rooms when they were in 3rd grade (twins). I completely controlled any outbound access they had (they knew nothing about web browsers, so I removed those from access). And while we limited their unattended screen time, I also spent a good amount of time introducing them to keyboards, mice, and applications. After a few months, both were up and going with Minecraft. To keep things in the walls, I setup a private Minecraft server to which they attached in the house so they could play with each other.

They've grown into 8th graders, and the desktop PCs have been replaced with Macbooks, iPhones and Kindles. Sure, they use Snapchat and Instagram with their friends, but by far they use the camera for videos and pictures. Those things end up in iMovie or slideshows that they put together and distribute over my Youtube account. They are voracious readers, pushing content through their kindle at an alarming rate. These are now fundamental devices they use in/for school projects and homework. They're good at it, to the point that they often help their friends with troubleshooting.

As I said, our approach has worked for us. It has been a lot of work as well, ensuring the kids aren't LatchKey 2.0, where the TV has been replaced by something you can hold in your hands. We had to be committed to being attentive and watchful, but we felt that was an investment in time that would help our kids succeed in an increasingly connected world.
