OK Cupid's white women's affinity for white men has decreased 6% since 2010; their female Asian customers' affinity for Asian men has increased 17%.

No doubt JavaScript's past, present, and future is intertwined with the web, but really it's an independent programming language. It's not like there are primitives for divs and tables.

And by an accident of history, it also happens to be the world's most popular programming language and overall a decent scripting language, so I can't see why its web association should make it any less OS-ready than any other language.

Plus, Node's async model lends itself implementing lower-level OS features (not that they are present so far in NodeOS).

21202. (a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at a speed
less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction
at that time shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand
curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following
situations:
(1) When overtaking and passing another bicycle or vehicle
proceeding in the same direction.
(2) When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a
private road or driveway.
(3) When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions (including, but
not limited to, fixed or moving objects, vehicles, bicycles,
pedestrians, animals, surface hazards, or substandard width lanes)
that make it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge,
subject to the provisions of Section 21656. For purposes of this
section, a "substandard width lane" is a lane that is too narrow for
a bicycle and a vehicle to travel safely side by side within the
lane.
(4) When approaching a place where a right turn is authorized.
(b) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway of a highway,
which highway carries traffic in one direction only and has two or
more marked traffic lanes, may ride as near the left-hand curb or
edge of that roadway as practicable.
You'd be surprised at the amount of drama that occurs, regardless.
This is probably just violating the TOU. As a consumer, I think lack of comparison shopping is absolutely the worst thing about lyft/uber, and that they should be required to publish pricing data in a manner accessible to this sort of thing, just like taxis are required to use certified meters and post rates on their doors.
It isn't useful at all. It is an experiment and a hobby. For those of us who use javascript everywhere we already can, it is natural to want to push it further and see what we come up with.
For one, I don't think preference has any bearing on this. By most accepted definitions, racism is the belief that one or more race is inherently better or worse in some regard.

So, unless you say "white women are inherently better at attracting me on dating sites" I'm not sure how it could be shoehorned into racism.
I only ever charge my iPhone at night next to my bed, if I just have to put the watch on the charging stand (or whatever) at the same time as my phone I don't think people are going to care too much.

They will need enough battery life though to go from morning to the next morning I would say, as you don't exactly want to have your watch stop working after a night of drinks after work...
It's about wearables not watches. Apple just hasn't totally abandoned skeuomorphism yet.

Nutrition isn't exclusively (or even primarily) about weight loss. To say that all of the health effects from everything we consume are well known and settled is silly.

edit: I shouldn't even say "health" effects; just systemic effects period. Not only is nutrition not exclusively about weight loss, it isn't even about self-improvement. Rather, it's about a basic understanding of the construction and functioning of the human body.

Nope. Keep searching. You found the law that allows bikes to share the road with cars. Now find the laws that I'm talking about. Off the top of my head for CA, 21202, 21654, 22400, and a few others.

I don't have a very sharp view of the practices in the US. In The Netherlands it is possible that the employer and the applicant agree to a proof period of maximally 2 months in which both sides are able to terminate the contract.

It is also possible here to offer the applicant a temporary contract which can be renewed two times (for the same contract period). Both parties needs to keep to this contract, they can only end it on pre-negotiated terms.
After two renewals of the contract the employer needs to let you go or your contract changes in a normal, non-temporary one.

I think these measures are more appropriate to deal with uncertainties about possible misfits? It makes sure both parties make a commitment for trying to make it fit as I see it.

I read something completely opposite here:

«Candidates get about three weeks of work to complete in a week — and not much guidance. “It’s ‘Here’s your desk and some people you should know,’ ” Mr. Rusenko said.»

I wonder if they could not improve their interviewing skills.
The article keeps stating that the drivers are declining the disabled person access. In my understanding, they are denying the presence of an animal in their car, not necessarily the disabled person. This is an essential difference. Discrimination would be refusing the person due to his disability, whereas this is not discrimination. Uber is right in saying that the disabled person having a dog should mention it to the driver. Fact is, the dog could cause damage to the car, or the driver could be allergic, or the next passenger. Law shouldn't force people to accept such an hindrance, even more when it was not even mentioned.
Is that belief in any way based on physics?

This really needs an actual introduction. There doesn't appear to be any documentation at all other than some slides that don't stand on their own at all and a completely baffling demo that has a whole bunch of code to do something, but I don't have the slightest clue as to what other than that it's apparently a db engine. After spending about ten minutes digging through what's available I still have no idea what the library does other than that it involves metaprogramming in some way.

Maintaining a healthy weight is the primary health problem for the vast majority of people concerned about their personal nutrition.
I think only the Nexus 5 started to catch up with the 4/5S in terms of speed and build quality. And it's only with CM11 on the N5 that it begins to reach the "smoothness" of Apple's UI (and yes, I know there are some tricks used).
My only question with those watches is the screen, i.e does it look like one ? I have a friend with a LG watch and the back light is annoying.

Years ago I thought digital photo frames were an excellent (and still relevant) idea but ultimately a failure because they looked like screens. And screens are distracting, eyes are drawn to them.

I hate TVs in bars, people unconsciously watched them even if they don't care about what is broadcast and forgot they are with people.
Oh I see, you can't handle it when an analogous situation interferes with your hobby. Then my point is made by your example.
Right. But when you say

> racism is the belief that one or more race is inherently better or worse in some regard

does this mean that a belief is only racist if it is one that has been consciously considered? What about unconscious/subconscious thought (e.g., preference)? It seems difficult to completely reconcile human instinct with true egalitarianism.

> In 2006, no one expected Apple to be in the business of making phones.

My recollection of history is a bit different. What I remember is that people were practically begging Apple to build a phone. You might say there was a half-hearted attempt with the ROKR, in partnership with Motorola, but it didn't really address what people were seeking. The calls for a phone done the "Apple way" continued. Now, I do believe Apple ended up greatly exceeding the expectations of the customers with the iPhone and, as you suggest, perhaps even created a new market segment because of that, but was hardly a surprise to see them announce something phone-like.

>This always copies and will lead to quadratic performance

In D, "a ~ b" always copies but "a ~= b" might not. Also, appending using ~= will grow the array exponentially, so the amoritized performance will be better than quadratic.

Doing "x.length += 1", however, does incremental growth and will have poor performance.

Show HN: A basic project manager in C#
A little over a month ago, I asked HN what I should do as my final C# project last semester: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8062174

The one comment I got was good, but I decided to take the easy path because I couldn't get Crystal Reports to play right with an Access database and InstallShield, and time was running out, so I opted for a project manager instead. Since I said I would show it to HN (even though almost no one noticed the thread) ... here it is.

It's rudimentary and i'm in the process of rewriting it completely because despite its simplicity I do kind of like it.

When you create a project (with or without a deadline) you get a notepad (which is really a rich text editor which I never managed to add controls to) and a todo list... and that's about it. You can add urls to the todo list and they will open in a browser. Everything works from a local Access database, but there is not even an attempt at securing the database.

I also removed Crystal Reports and the installer completely because I don't like them and never could get them to work properly. This is essentially the first application I've actually completely designed and finished.

Well, first off, I never claimed they named everything Windows.

Second, As I clearly stated, I was using "Windows" in everything from the product itself to just the brand. Windows Phone is not a window oriented OS, so there we have MS tying their flagship brand to something that has nothing to do with windows. Then, as I mentioned, is the need to shove the Windows kernel into the XBox one, when the 360 demonstrated a small, lightweight, custom built OS is far superior for a gaming platform.

Then we have the concept "We're going to unify PC Windows, Windows Phone, and XBox to the same kernel" which is not smart, because while the OS X BSD-based kernel is portable and extensible (and widely used in low memory devices world wide for ages), the Windows kernel was PC oriented from the go, and became less portable over time (killed Alpha support, killed MIPS support, was originally written for the N-Ten platform, the i860, another RISC architecture). They have done this for ages, with Windows CE and Windows Embedded. They ignore the question of "what is right for this niche" and just shove Windows in there somehow. Windows CE was mostly the Windows UI, regardless of the use case, and Windows Embedded is a range from a slimmed down Windows to what used to be Windows CE (meaning once again, calling it Windows has little real value, since you then need to determine what type of Windows you're dealing with).

The Bing rebranding was because Windows Live Search was always a horrible name, and they wanted something short and memorable that could be verbed, like Google or Xerox. Windows Live for Games is dead because no one wanted to use it. Windows Live Mail never caught on, it was always less memorable than Hotmail or Outlook. Windows Live Essentials is now Windows Essentials.

Then there's Windows Azure. Rather than coming up with a product brand for their cloud computing, they called it Windows and added a color. Granted, they've recently officially dropped Windows from the name, but it's still deeply entrenched, and commonly used even by MS still.

My point stands quite well. They have too strong a focus on "Windows" as a thing that needs to be everywhere, and fail to see the value in their company brand, and in unique products.

It is obviously racist. But calling it such would trigger guilt in people who have such feelings yet have been conditioned to reflexively associate racism with evil.
No. It is based on the advancement of software that can de-blur images.

For example: http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/leojia/deblurring.htm.
From the article I originally linked to:

"In stories where the driver had been cited, the penalty’s meagerness defied belief, like the teenager in 2011 who drove into the 49-year-old cyclist John Przychodzen from behind on a road just outside Seattle, running over and killing him. The police issued only a $42 ticket for an “unsafe lane change” because the kid hadn’t been drunk and, as they saw it, had not been driving recklessly."

Kid kills cyclist, but doesn't get tried even for involuntary manslaughter. Had this kid used a gun instead of a car, you can be sure that the story would have a different ending.

I believe that's a direct, nearly EXACT example of a driver killing a cyclist in an accident and not getting charged despite quite likely being at fault. If the police issued him SOME kind of a citation it stands to reason he wasn't 100% in the right. Someone else paid with their life.

Here's another example in the article:

"...Amelie Le Moullac, 24, pedaling inside a bike lane in San Francisco’s SOMA district when a truck turned right and killed her. In these articles, I found a recurring phrase: to quote from The San Francisco Chronicle story about Ms. Le Moullac, “The truck driver stayed at the scene and was not cited.”"

How many more examples would you like to see? It takes me only a minute or two to dig these up as they're all over google. I don't have to go past the first page.
Except that energy burned is not by any means a 1:1 correlation with exercised performed. We are inefficient machines, and our efficiency characteristics vary wildly in ways we don't fully understand.

Two people consuming the same quantity of energy and exerting the same number of joules on exercise equipment do not see identical or even necessarily related physiological effects. There are many, many factors - other nutrients, genetics, timing, the distribution of work over time (short intense exercise vs. long less intense exercise, etc.) and they all matter.

There are skinny people who have never been inside a gym. There are fat people who work harder than you. Obviously you can still influence your outcomes, but "energy out >= energy in" is a gross oversimplification.

I'd recommend this book by Ronald Gaucho

It's Great! Oops, No It Isn't: Why Clinical Research Can't Guarantee The Right Medical Answers

"The truth is, few people know the first thing about clinical research. The public reads about a medical research project that announces unbelievable results for a miraculous drug. Some years later, another investigation completely wipes out those initial favorable findings. Hormones Cut Women’s Risk of Heart Disease (San Francisco Chronicle, 1994) Hormones Don’t Protect Women from Heart Disease, Study Says (Washington Post, 2001) The people are confused because we do not understand the process behind these conflicting results. Our health, and in fact, our very lives are dependent on clinical trials, but we know little about them. This book explains the issues the public needs to be aware of when it comes to clinical research. It uncovers the problems in medical investigations that can not be overcome no matter how much care and diligence medical researchers bring to a research project. The basic premise that drives the writing is that it is impossible for medical researchers to guarantee that they can get all the right answers from a single study. No matter how good the investigators are, no matter how well a study is planned, no matter how carefully the plans are executed and no matter how conscientiously the results are analyzed and interpreted – the answer may still be wrong. The deck is stacked against medical researchers and the public – you – should be skeptical of the results no matter how impressive they seem on the surface."
Errr, I think we know these 'basic' things quite fine. Energy burned needs to be >= energy taken in.

Very long term, energy burned will be == energy taken in. If that's consistently out of balance by... say 100 Kcal/day, that's 0.2 lb/week every week or 10 lb/year or 100 lb/decade. How many 50-year-olds do you know who are 300 pounds heavier (or lighter) than they were at 20?
I wonder how much of this is caused by OkCupid growing in Asia.
