Sam's comments are encouraging but in the notes [1] about the application process they also mention how they look at a user's comments.

I signed up on HN after being a passive reader for a long time and so haven't accumulated a lot of karma.

I suppose lack of comments shouldn't be a deterrent as Sam suggested but may be the messaging needs to change a bit? Just my humble opinion.

I can't see this being a good thing for anyone that cares about Minecraft at all. I wonder how long it'll be before:

1) The older Minecraft binaries suddenly become unavailable for download which will effectively kill many launchers, mods and modpacks

1a) Microsoft aggressively uses DMCA notices to kill off the modding community when the modding community tries to work around #1 by hosting the binaries themselves

2) Microsoft adds unnecessary integration with the win32 API via JNI to Minecraft in order to make it Windows-only despite the fact Minecraft is written in Java

2a) More aggressive DMCA usage to kill off the community attempting to work-around #2

Those are just off the top of my head but I'm sure I can come up with more not too far-fetched scenarios.
On a slightly different tack I found the 2010 Discover Magazine article about the role played by the HERV-W retrovirus in Schizophrenia interesting. Not quite sure how that line of research is panning out these days. http://discovermagazine.com/2010/jun/03-the-insanity-virus

Perhaps it's that Notch invited the entitlement with an explicit promise ? http://web.archive.org/web/20100301103851/http://www.minecra...

Included there is a dedication to (eventually) make the work open-source or public domain, and to contribute to it so long as people are paying. Those promises drove MindCraft praise, good will, and adoption. Do you think asking someone to keep these promises, the ones that drove adoption (and hence his current good fortune) is... entitlement?
That's only half the story though. It also helps that a P&G manager by the name of John Burchenal acqui-hired a way to cheaply hydrolyze vegetable oil, much cheaper than lard.

The money spend making crisco look 'healthier' than lard has left timeless traces in the general public.

The original form of crisco is so unhealthy that the now called trans-fats are banned in most countries.

However the damage is done, and people still look for other hydrogenated vegetable oils instead of animal fats. Like my friends buying canola margarine instead of real butter.
There is a question of at what point is this against the spirit of Burning Man, as the author mentions. Not really sure where to draw that line myself--maybe it's at the point of communicating with other burners?

Is it really fair to characterize this of a specific generation?

They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.” — Socrates
Not in physics, I didn't. Infants start testing gravity. They watch how objects move and collide. Physics is built-in. We do understand it. A decade and half later that "understanding" is exactly what's necessary for driving a car.

The problem isn't that I missed his point. It's that he makes the wrong one. We understand physics just fine. But I bet most folks have little understanding of how a combustion engine works, but they drive the car just fine. That's the analogy he's going for.

From your first link, the only study that attempted to show a causal link between gluten and schizophrenia had no control group, no placebo, and n=2. This isn't a study, it's a guess.

There may well be something to this whole thing, but the science just isn't there right now, at all. Right now what we need are studies, not solutions. The evidence is non-existent.
Of course not, nobody's attacking anyone for using a protocol. The only group targeted are people downloading certain movies or music where the company owning the content instructed another company to grab the peerlist of said torrent (in this case) and to get the info on the peers so they can send them scary letters extorting money.

The prices are more than we would like to pay so of course someone is screwing us. It can't just be that moving us around costs a bunch of money.
I have everything OP asked for (I work from home, sane work-life balance, unlimited vacation), except I pay ~$500/month for health insurance on my own (I can get a better quality plan on my own, two people both in their 30s; thanks ACA!). I took my job because it cut my commute time from 40-60 hours a month to 0.

What OP is asking for isn't crazy, most companies just don't have the management structure (or good management) to provide it. You can find these companies, just plan on spending time looking (took me a year, but I was employed during that time).

We cover why this is not done in the article, namely location transparency (our files aren't always in S3), and partial-failures. A simple client-side uploader like this doesn't handle cases like the upload failing part way through. For example, the user closing the browser or losing connectivity.
All of this about Brazilian entrepreneurship and ecosystem is only a reflection of the real problem. Brazil's problem is corruption and extremely concentration of wealth, granted by a corrupt government, the same since always. We still have regions that are ruled by families that received lands in the 1600s. Everybody that has money in Brazil have tons of ways to get richer without risk, because the brazilian government prioritizes and secures this kind of development, hiring their companies to do infrastructure projects, for example. And that is why our tax system is complex, or bank system "secure" and we have full employment (with low skill jobs) for a long time. It's enough to keep people occupied and the system running.

The irony is that only startups could save Brazil from this doomed scenario. And that is the reason why, until now, the ecosystem hadn't developed. But someday, this will be hacked.

Disclosure: I'm Brazilian and had my startup broken by Brazilian corrupcy.
So first let me say I assume there's a good answer to this. I'm asking to find out what it is, not as any sort of criticism.

Why not leave the segmented stacks, and simply refuse to shrink them? When a stack grows, then shrinks back down, you could just leave yourself a note at the very end of the stack about where the next stack segment is, so you won't be reallocating. Plus you could start trimming off the end of the stacks if you shrank some % of the way back down to zero.
It was also a VERY expensive tour to put on. Nine days to setup and tear down each stop, with hundreds of workers and dozens of track trailer trucks. Setup video: http://vimeo.com/24796838
Thanks, I was going to apply, but had exactly these doubts, and you just gave me more motivation.
Sorry to tl;dr your code, but how exactly is it based on TeX? Do you actually run Knuth's TeX code to make this work, or did you reimplement it?

Also, kind of irrelevant, do you think we'll ever get something better than (La)TeX syntax? I've been frustrated by obscure error messages from LaTeX in big documents because it's a macro language, so the interpreter doesn't actually see what you're typing. How does KaTeX handle errors?
Large employers are generally self-funded, meaning that they pay their healthcare claims dollar-for-dollar. Blue Cross (or whomever) serves as a claims administrator and takes a premium for the service, but may not provide any actual "insurance" with respect to the company (some have maximum per-year and maximum per-employee caps to the company but they aren't usually triggered by the sorts of things that wellness programs address).

Big companies hope that wellness programs really will decrease healthcare spend and increase morale --- chronic conditions like diabetes and smoking do have a disproportionate impact on the healthcare bottom line. That said, once-off specialty conditions (cancer, heart surgery, etc.) have an even bigger impact and aren't addressed by this.
- "If I ever accidentally make something that seems to gain traction, I’ll probably abandon it immediately."

These words describe how I've been feeling since the beginning of this year, when I first became a self-described programmer. Before then, I loved playing around with little toy projects, but I never considered myself as a programmer. Instead, I was a regular kid who programmed sometimes.

After realizing that, over some time, I had gained some real skills, I felt obligated to make use of them. It was no longer a playful activity, I put a burden on my own shoulders that my programs had to be significant or important to others in some way.

This sense of importance ruined programming for me. Though self-imposed, the homework-effect took over and I lost interest right away.

I'm sure many of you code for a defined purpose, whether it be profit or world effect. But for me, my computer is a toy.

Zeroing out memory isn't sufficient, as discussed here: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2014-09-06-zeroing-buffers-i...

That said, this was discussed on reddit[0], it sounds like there is a way to guarantee that you did zero out memory (but not necessarily copies of that memory, as discussed in the link above), and because Rust is intended to be memory safe, it's not as much of an issue if you don't/can't.

The biggest problem is as they point out - you can't check your bag, and if you board too late they will force you to check it. Then you're screwed. So you get that unique modern form of anxiety - trying to board the plane before everyone else so you don't have to gate check. You better have a bookbag and nothing else.

While Infiniminer was an acknowledged inspiration of Minecraft's, I think it's fair to say that Minecraft is a fork (schism is maybe more accurate), since the focus of the game was changed towards the creative/exploratory aspects, instead of the "competitive mining" aspect.

Monopolies are easily distinguishable, at all times, from governments because they possess no legislative authority, no control over or enforcement of laws, and no authority over the use of force.

It's an extraordinarily simple, and obvious, line of separation that nobody could ever confuse in a free market economy with constitutional protections on individual liberty.

It's the same experience as if you'd purchased the music on one device and viewing your purchases on another. - it's also the same experience if you use iTunes Match on several devices - I use the streaming method a lot for those 16GB devices where I don't want all my space used up by my music collection on iTunes Match.

Interesting framework, might be useful for mobile or email templates.
So you totally rule out the possibility that those terrible-looking slides, which apparently came from the most well-funded, advanced, government agency on the planet, could be fabricated? I'm not saying by Snowden either, but rather being crafted by the U.S. government for an intentional leak. I see so many people talking about these programs, when in reality, the content of the leak could be directly applied to the leak itself. That seems to fly over everyone's head, though.

All you know about Snowden is that he leaked documents that are apparently from the NSA. You know NOTHING about the legitimacy of anything else, so why speculate or argue with people about it? It's better to keep an open mind about this situation rather than go with one side. Stop being lazy and consider outside possibilities rather than treating what's spoon-fed to you as the absolute truth.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Only thing it does is suggest albums based on my listening habits or if it's new releases by artists in my library.
[off topic] Wow, his last post created some bizarre drama on Reddit:

http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2014/09/12/thiola_retro...

His criticism of a biotech CEO provoked a Reddit thread with two thousand comments, and the CEO showing up to write responses. And controversially the whole thing was removed by moderators, and Dr. Lowe briefly banned from the site.

I second this, I find sdegutis's comments to be very useful, if only to provide a fresh (and entirely valid) perspective. Contrast is so so needed in our community...
If there is no evidence, and they have stated that it wasn't them, anything else is malicious innuendo.

Google recently stated that the 5 million sets of Google account credentials were not stolen directly from them and only 20% of them were valid. Is this also 'unproven'?

I'm glad to see advances being made. Schizophrenia is extremely hard to research. And it's devastating to the patient.

In the early nineties I worked at the University of Pennsylvania measuring brain MRIs as part of a schizophrenia study. They knew there was a strong genetic component, but they also knew that not everybody with a strong genetic weighting would develop the disorder. They had plenty of records of identical twins where one suffered from schizophrenia and the other did not.

The model then was the Diathesis-Stress model [1]. The diathesis, or predisposition, is in the genes. They thought the stress could be one of a number of things: maternal infection while the baby was still developing, birth complications such as brief interruptions in oxygen flow, infections after the baby is born, and perhaps extreme psychological trauma, like combat.

You're getting upset over nothing. Really, you are. There is a LOT to get upset at TSA et al. over, but all this hurt the anti-TSA case.

It's 10 vs 14. Neither is significant, neither matters. All measurements have errors, if a source is claiming otherwise you best assume they are not educated very well on science - and have not done a good job communicating with the scientists making the measurements. So as far as anybody is concerned, the difference between 10 and 14 is so insignificant it may as well be less than 10.
The ownership idioms are very similar to idiomatic C++11 and std::unique_ptr. Which is to say that Rush has got an industrial strength safe memory management system.

But Rust stands out because the rest of the language is such a joy to use, compared to pretty much any other 'systems' language out there.
