I think a bigger deal than "good enough" trumps "perfect" is that "good" (whether "good enough" or "perfect") isn't objective, its subjective, and more options means you are more likely to find something that meets your preferences.

Why do you guys hate IRC bounces so much? You're investing a lot of time trying to convict me that I should ditch my ZNC and replace it with something that replicates its functionality in a longer winded fashion.

I don't want to run my bounce in a detached screen session, I want a proper daemon. It's easier to install and manage if it's a proper daemon. And if I'm going to be using a terminal based IRC client (which I often do) then I'd be running Irssi.

I don't want your stupid halfway solution when I already have a proper IRC bounce set up that does all that and more.
Interesting, and I think it reflects a broader culinary trend in the US: people are waking up to good food.

As a kid in the late 80ies, in a medium sized town in Oregon, real Italian ingredients were not to be had for love or money, even if my parents even knew what they were. Now, when I go home to visit, they have real Italian cheeses, prosciutto, and even some mozzarella flown in from Italy. Local copycats (my Italian friends all get a kick out of "Oregonzola") are also on the rise, which is a good thing in terms of bringing down the prices and increasing availability to a wider swath of people.

My wife and I have discussed a few ideas for food companies that we might be able to start in the US.

Hi, No I assume that the breach happened in the last 3 years, and before they implemented SSL. I have noticed that http://www.pizzahut.com.au/members/login is still a valid page, inaccessible via SSL, but haven't checked if logging in on that page actually works.

I noticed that they've also implemented a password reset email, instead of their previous practice of just emailing you the password. Hopefully this means that they are no longer keeping unhashed passwords on the system.

It seems that they realised they weren't doing things correctly in the last 6 months (maybe a bit longer, not 100% sure) and have taken steps to rectify this. This may be due to a discovered security breach, but may just be a change in their internal IT policy. Hopefully they're now following best practices!
Most of the population is carb intolerant. Unable to process sugar, their kidney turns it into fat and makes them feel starved at the same time. When they try to follow a balanced diet with lots of carbs, they get fatter and fatter. They try to consume less calories and they starve while creating new fat stores at the same time. For these people calorie calculation is the wrong thing. They should stop sugar consumption, restrict carbs to a minimum and without a diet they will slowly lose the weight.
Not to be too rude but has your wife tried simply, well, not checking her phone after work?
IMO most of these smartwatches are adding to the problem of constant interruptions, not solving it.
The five ceiling fans in my Southern California house are on virtually nonstop, night and day, from July through September. I haven't done analysis, but anecdotally they make rooms feel a lot cooler. If you get quality fans, they are inaudible (at low speed) and seem to be trouble-free (i.e., no problems after ~10 years of this level of activity).

Controlling what you eat is the definition of implementing a diet, so doing that is not "without a diet".

For the high-end Moto X and Nexus devices relevant to the author's thesis, this will happen soup-to-nuts shortly after the L release is launched. For the other devices, the downloadable apps will get the new UX through the support libraries, but the system apps will still have the old UX.
Key statement at the bottom of the article:

"In a statement reported by the San Francisco Examiner, Uber said its policy is to terminate drivers who refuse to transport service animals."

The problem is some Uber drivers (who are independent contractors) refused to allow dogs into their cars. Uber should be more proactive about educating drivers about service animals, but it is hardly an Uber policy to "refuse rides to the blind."
And that's assuming those numbers are independent, which they may not be.

Red delicious are actually quite good right after they are picked.

Perhaps the reason why we don't like Red delicious is the 'paradox of choice'. 40 years ago, there were perhaps 4 varieties of apples on average in a grocery store, today perhaps 9 or 10. Perhaps with the sweeter, crispier apples brought by advances in Agri-tech the Red Delicious has become lackluster in comparison.
Presentation: Ember Fest 2014 Keynote WithErik Bryn
If you install the google apps on an iPhone it gets closer but certainly not out of the box. I don't have stats on maps app usage but apple maps is at least used by some folks rather than google maps which means google is not able to collect valuable location data for some users. And on ios google maps is not able to collect location data when it is not running so the collection of data is much more limited for google.

To your point, however, they still collect quite a bit.
This is why I hedged with the word 'significant.' I completely agree that people were making and selling apps for mobile devices before the iPhone came along. Can we both agree that the ecosystem exploded in size and visibility to the general population only after the iPhone was released, though?
I don't think we disagree on this. You should always work to improve yourself and love is a great motivator for doing that.

My point with the number is that to go on a date, to be given that chance to know someone better, isn't that hard even if the probabilities are low.

My 95% is actually crazy pessimistic. It actually ended up being closer to 50% success rate for first date. I am short, Asian, and introverted so I think most other men aren't going to do worse based on those attributes alone. Or maybe like you said, race doesn't matter as much.

That said, I don't really agree with that list of attributes you posted. Maybe on some level, yes those attributes matter but personal chemistry between two people matters much more, at least from my own limited experience.

Just... no. So very no.

Apple cheats because they failed to build a true density independent UI toolkit that actually works. Thus you end up with hacks like this where the UI is in a permanent state of filtered hell because the UI toolkit is just broken.

Android has proved this can work, and work fantastically. The article tries to spin it as being broken somehow, but clearly they never actually worked with Android much because this all works so, so well.

You don't need whole multipliers when you work in DIPs instead of PX.
If you think about what smartphones are really most like, they're basically pocket-watches: big flat things with a metal case and a glass face that you flip open an optional protective cover to look at, which sit in your pocket when not in use, and trail a cord out of said pocket to somewhere else on your person (your ears, nowadays.)

That said, the word "watch" is likely a very good word to keep for the wrist-devices: their natural UX, given the limited possible set of affordances, is designed around passive alerts. Which is to say, they watch for events, and you watch them.
My guess is that being as open to love as you are probably leads to better outcomes in romance. Attitude matters more than race.

The problem of Soylent is the oversimplification and premise that our nutrition science has figured it all out (yes, the same science that was vilifying saturated fat, salt, alcohol, etc.). I can understand using Soylent as a meal replacement occasionally, but doing this regularly is too risky. I mean, people can definitely survive on it, but thrive - I don't think so. Also, every ingredient of it is poor quality. Canola oil vs olive oil, rice protein vs organic grass-fed whey concentrate, worst form of magnesium (oxide vs citrate/malate/glycinate/orotate), soy lecithin vs sunflower lecithin, vitamin d2 vs d3, etc. Every single ingredient is the cheapest form. Some are proven to be detrimental for health - alpha tocopherol vs mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols, vitamin A vs mixed carotenoids, folic acid vs folate, and so on. I won't even mention sucralose, artificial flavors, and the Chinese origin of some of the ingredients. Again, this is not biohacking, this is amateur hour.
Honeycrisp is overrated imo. They are too sweet.
After getting powerful enough, smartwatches could be full "peer" devices in your Personal Area Network, though.

Rather than tethering the watch to your phone and having the watch just being treated as another phone peripheral, you could just as well do the opposite: have the phone tether to the watch to serve as e.g. a keyboard and secondary display.
Too sweet. Braeburn all the way.

I'm only a recent dabbler in OCaml, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. First off, it depends on what kind of problem you are working on. Support for concurrency is good (through Lwt and Async), so the situation is not worse (actually, better, because monadic concurrency is vastly superior to callbacks) than in a popular language like Javascript, or Python with its GIL. Secondly, work started on a parallel runtime a few months ago, and seems to progress at a steady pace, so we should get parallelism and cheap fibers at some point.

Regarding other functional languages, you are mixing some oranges in your apples. I find Rust appealing, especially with the amount of thought that goes into crafting it, but when it comes down to it, it is intended to replace C++. You are trading the convenience of a garbage-collected runtime for more control over memory allocation, and this comes at a cost. I could imagine OCaml calling Rust code for performance-critical sections, though. Regarding F#, it's no doubt a nice language and works as an incubator for ideas which trickle down to C# eventually, but I for one have little interest in the .Net ecosystem. Scala I find too scattered in terms of features, it doesn't make for a very elegant language. Also, the JVM is performant, but it's a pig in terms of memory. As for Haskell, many OCaml developers have been moving to it in the last few years. On the other hand, you don't switch to language with a lazy runtime with impunity (debugging Haskell is not particularly fun). I find the average complexity of Haskell programs higher, and a combination of syntactic features, popularity of custom ASCII operators and one-letter variable names make for sometimes barely readable code. Not to mention that OCaml is more pragmatic: sometimes it is convenient to write a for loop.

There still is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB

I remember having a cheap Timex in the mid 2000s that synced off this. I found it a great improvement to the watch experience; my synchronization source of choice before that was a wall clock also powered off that same signal. I also have vague memories of a phone number you could call to get the accurate time.
It's not a watch doing more than it already does; it's other devices converging onto your wrist.

You used to have to carry a camera around if you wanted to take pictures. Now that's part of the hunk of silicon in your pocket. Similarly, you used to have to carry a bunch of plastic cards in a wallet. Now that's part of the hunk of silicon on your wrist.

The hunk of silicon on your wrist isn't a "watch that does more" any more than a device that's both a camera, a PDA, a GPS, etc. is a "phone that does more." It's a convergence of several orthogonal devices that isn't a phone, or a watch, at all.

Thinking of the Apple Watch as primarily a watch obscures the value proposition. It has the form factor of a watch, but it may as well not tell time at all, for all people will care about that feature of it. In fact, maybe it's better to pretend it doesn't tell time, to help you cut through to the real reasons people would want one on their wrist.
Making $300k from a Programming Book
I absolutely love Envy apples!

They are very crisp and sweet without the tart flavor other crisp varieties seem to have. They also don't go brown after cutting for a very long time.

Definitely worth the slightly higher price in the supermarket. I very much miss them when they are out of season.
iOS uses logical points, i.e. a DIP on Android.

As for iOS's @1x vs. @2x images, think of them as your drawable-*dpi resources on Android.
Apart from a few isolated statements that suggest using fans together with ACs (which, of course, is a totally reasonable thing to do), the overall tone of the article is very much "AC = evil, fan = cool."

Unfortunately, fan-only cooling only works in a narrow range of climates.

> For instance, instead of cooling down a space to 24°C (75°F), the aircon can cool it to 29°C (84°F), which is a comfortable temperature if combined with fans.

Whether or not 29°C can be considered a "comfortable temperature", even with fans, depends a lot on other factors, the most important of which is humidity. 29°C at 30% humidity is very different from 29°C at 90% humidity. The former is common in Europe and the American West. The latter is much more common in the Southeast, as well as the majority of newly industrialized countries such as China and India.

Try installing a radiant cooling system in one of those hot & humid places. See all that condensation on the walls? That's a recipe for explosive mold growth. All the fans in the world will not make that pesky H2O go away, since the air is already oversaturated with it. People can tolerate a lot of heat with nothing but a paper fan, but there's no alternative to a good ol' electron-guzzling compressor when it comes to humidity control.

You might feel totally comfortable with a fan in your cool and dry Northern California summers, but be very careful before you try to generalize your energy-saving hack to different climates. There's a reason why millions of people won't give up their AC's for fans, and it's not because they don't know how to stay cool.
I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 33 and remember hating red delicious since elementary school because they were mealy. So by the late 80s, at least, the mealiness had set in.

The interesting question is that can he run X server locally in 4k 120hz mode.

The good points:

Long hours, for one. Established companies will often accumulate 8-5'ers who do just enough to not get fired, and that's a deadly contagion. Late nights build team camaraderie and individual determination. Schedule your workout, errands, and siesta mid-day.

Perhaps lack of job security, if you are lucky. The only real security is knowing you can handle whatever comes. Do so with grace.

Likely an immature set of processes, or no process at all. Rather than wasting time with outdated documentation, or dragging folklore from petty fuedal Lords, you get to share in the creation of SOP. Be sure to document the process well, as it will allow you to spend less time in the future explaining it to each new hire.

You'll probably be expected to wear many hats. That is, develop, QA, maintain build systems, deal with customers, etc. Cross-training is job security at it's finest, for the current company and when seeking employment elsewhere.

A lot of this depends on how new the startup is and how many employees.

Now for the bad points:

The people you will be working with are about to hire someone who is more concerned with what to avoid instead of what to look forward to. It might explain why the person has interned at many companies, instead of one which ultimately hired them.
That's probably the first practical use of the paired doodle thing they demoed that I've seen. I wonder if that works independently of the phone, or if it's done via phone bluetooth.
Android UI system still uses pixel in many places, such as MotionEvent.getX(). It should just use DIPs everywhere, which would significantly cut coding complexity.
As an end user, I'm a fan of Apple's 'scaled resolution' solution. My Apple notebook renders the screen in memory at 3840 x 2160 and then scales that to fit the 2880 x 1800 physical display. The benefit of this approach is that you can smoothly scale the UI to suit your age/eyesight.

When working, I keep mine set to smallest/most-information setting available by default (dubbed "Looks like 1920x1200"), but when relaxing I often give my tired 40-year-old eyes a break by bumping it down to "Looks like 1680 x 1050" and making everything uniformly bigger and easier to read.

When you look closely, of course it doesn't look as good as an exact match to the display native resolution does, but it looks pretty great. I think it will look even better on the 401ppi iPhone 6+ display, and the increasingly high-res screens of the future.

Tying logical display resolution to actual physical pixel resolution is pretty 💡🙉 at this point.

I don't know anything about SurfaceFlinger, but why do you call out Mir here after referencing a vast amount of other components of a Linux distribution that all essentially do the same thing? Who knows, Mir could turn out better than Wayland.

Weird how everyone's happy for an abundance of choice, except when it's a display server or init system. Those two generate so much hate and I don't really get why.
Oh god not another "Apple made the iPhone 3.5" which is the perfect size" type of post.

There's no brilliant magic golden ratio formula behind Apple choosing 1080p. They simply wanted to choose a "regular" resolution for once, while still being bigger than 326 PPI.

If 720p would've been more than 326 PPI for the 4.7" one, they would've chosen that, too. The reason they didn't is because 720p is less than 326 PPI, and they didn't want to have 1,000 headlines out there say how "iPhone 6 has less pixel density than previous iPhones".

In my opinion they should've done that anyway, and end it with the stupid resolutions that Apple keeps using just because they didn't have the foresight to add resolution scaling early on to iOS, because they never imaged they could be building any other mobile device that isn't 3.5" in size. They messed up the "perfect scaling" for developers with 1080p on the Plus anyway. They could've done it on the smaller one, too. It's silly that they didn't do it.
As the sibling comment states, iOS has used logical points from the very first retina device. And even before then it has never used integers for its UI toolkit coordinate system — there was always the support for fractional coordinates.

The point of the article is that the iPhone 6+ renders to a larger offscreen buffer and then downscales to a 1080p panel. This is the same as the higher resolution modes on Retina Macbook Pros.
At least the name is kind of cool. I was hoping they'd be related to a butler service.
