I don't know, how long ago is late 2012?
Heh, I have attached to the process, went to the stuck thread, went up a few frames, and told it to return. Never did recover, as expected :) But before it restored all your tabs it was worth a shot at saving the state.
Well, $100 million of apprenticeship grants isn't gonna cut it. The money would be better spent in developing the needed infrastructure to adopt the system. Skip state wide systems and adopt a nation wide system.

As for the "cost factor" for the companies...even if still at apprenticeship level, the people are working, even if it's just minor tasks in the first few months, so give them a damn salary. Here in Germany the average is about 700$/month on average, with salary increasing by about 50$ each year. Plus a decent chance to get a full time job at the same company after your apprenticeship is done.

The firms won't need to establish programs. The states will have to establish schools for that, not the firms.
Maybe there are not many Chinese here on ycombinator, but Tor is mainly used by us to bypass the Great Firewall. And I do not mean to read articles or profess opinions that are antithetical to Chinese government, but simply to access many useful resources. Many tech blogs are blocked, for example, because they are hosted on blogspot.com

For me, at least, I don't really care about security, but usability and stability.
I downloaded and installed in about 3 hours but the download kept "failing" and had to be manually resumed from the App Store.
That chart should really be zoomed to about 1/5 its size... it goes up to 150 inch? Who has displays that big?

The X axis should go from 10 to 60, the Y axis should go from 1ft to 30ft, max.

As it is, it's not all that useful for figuring out what the density limits of a desktop monitor are. (Average desktop monitor sizes occupy maybe 1/12 of the X axis!)

I also agree that it's still not particularly great, but I have noticed a pretty substantial improvement in quality. The fundamental problem here is that retail is a huge, huge mess. With exceptions for innovators like Walmart, most stores don't know what they have on their shelves, when they're out of stock, when something is purchased...it's absolutely absurd. The quality of the data is simply never going to be as good as Amazon's, charging for product listing ads is one of the way that Google is trying to nudge incentives towards higher quality data.

So I guess this is a coincidental validation of MacPorts' decision to install under /opt and leave /usr/local for manually-compiled stuff.
While I agree that my comment was snarky, the author didn't couch the statements at all.

"Discovering Two Screens Aren't Better Than One"

That makes it sound an awful lot like a fact or a universal law, not someone's personal opinion. When it's clearly one person's opinion.

Just about everyone who needs to "multi-task" by reading documentation and applying that knowledge can and likely will benefit from multiple screens. I wish I had three, really.

That's a huge part of the economy; software, CAD/CAM, basically anything engineering-ish at all.

To suppose that the way that you use a computer is the same as the way everyone uses a computer is rather arrogant, don't you think?
With ML functors, however, you are duplicating the code and managing separately; you could already do that for each scope (what I basically do in Glitch), or better yet, try and optimize duplication away (copy your data flow graph, but memoize and try to reuse).

Anyways, the right path to take will probably become apparent as you do more development...keeping it simple at first is a good idea.
Congratulations on the new release!

I can already see that `docker exec` and `docker create` will allow me to get rid of a number of admin and configurator containers.

When I started playing around with boot2docker, I was gagging for the ability to share directories with OS X. However, it turns out that I didn't really need that once I realised that caching means that building images is very fast.
This is complete rubbish. IE was on the cutting edge of web standards, to such an extent it was having to make up some proprietary technologies itself such as XMLHttpRequest (just one example).

The problem is a lot of Ruby/JS/dynamictypedlanguage hipsters these days who shout so loudly about IE having poor standards support weren't actually around at the time. Everyone loved IE back in those days as it was modern and every release had new exciting features in it (both for users and developers).

The fact that IE got some things "wrong" with CSS and had bugs like transparent PNGs not rendering, er, transparently... were just necessary growing pains. This didn't matter in the wild west days of the web as, well, PNGs weren't even that popular back then and CSS was still something web developers were getting to grips with, slowly.

Compare IE4-6 not to later-generation browsers, but to its direct rivals of the day which was Netscape and Opera and not really much else. Compared to these, IE was king.
As someone who has worked in Apple's hardware engineering for years, you're pretty much 100% wrong in everything you've said.
Is there any way to get to that without entering the 4 numbers? I don't have my last cholesterol stats in front of me, but I'm still curious to see what suggestions it makes.

It doesn't seem productive to hide away the advice part of it; and in particular it would be sensible to at least hint that there's more than just a risk percentage to come after you enter the 4 numbers (which, let's face it, most people won't know off the top of their heads!).

...

Okay, I got through with faked numbers; I just put 150, 60, and 120. Note: the results aren't all updated correctly if you change the numbers at the top and recalculate. E.g., this line in particular has different numbers than the rest: "You're doing pretty well! Your risk of heart disease is 18%. With ideal risk factors, your risk would be 18%."

My main complaints about the results:

There's no obvious reason it should to demand my email address before it'll share advice on how to improve my health (on whatever figure happens to be too low/high).

From the page: "First, enter your email. We'll use it to send you a copy of your report and follow up on the actions identified. No spam."

Eh... This sounds too much like I'm about to hit the part in the funnel where they start trying to sell me something. Right? "Enter your email for the free whitepaper" means "sign up for our sales email stream".

I wouldn't have any use for a copy of the report buried in my email history; if they actually want me to keep a copy for reference, that's what a PDF download is for.

Followup on the actions suggested sounds like a potentially useful feature which would legitimately need my email -- but right now, I don't yet know what kind of advice it's going to give (what if the next page reveals that it's hawking AcmeCorp Super-HDL-Booster Supplements?), I don't know if I want followup before they explain what that would entail, and so this is where I stop.

The visible front of the website is also actively anonymous -- the page is copyright "Heart" (?), all contact info even in the privacy policy is anonymous (just this domain name and a PO box). The PP itself is clearly boilerplate edited to match the site (including some odd errors; e.g., I caught this near the top: "We implement a variety of security measures enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.") -- so it talks about purchases, but I'm not sure that reveals anything at all.

But I really do think it's important to connect online efforts with real people. If this is a spare time project intending to help other people, great; take credit for it! -- to be straightforward that it's not provided by a doctor (okay), but also that it's not provided by a shady snake oil company that's redirecting you into its sales funnel.

I notice the creator is hiding, and I immediately want to know why.
Does suspending the VM help you?
I do not need anyone to defend me from activists seeking equality.

You really need to study the French Revolution. You think that because you're part of the current revolution that it won't eventually consume you as well? Consider Danton and Robespierre, a couple of the original "activists seeking equality" (or, rather, égalité). Danton once thought as you do; on his way to the guillotine he shouted at his former ally, "Robespierre, you will follow me! Your house will be razed! Salt will be sown there!" [1] Robespierre once thought as you do; he met the same fate as Danton less than four months later.

Does peaceful workplace help programmers perform better?
The place I work in has number of tables in a hallway each pair facing each other. We are around 10-12 people here. I can hear everyone walking by, they come around each others table and discuss logic, issues, plans etc. It really disturbs me. Does that happen to you guys? By the way, sales/marketing, other management people get own separate office. Development team/support team sits in the hallway.
Do programmers deserve better?
True, I hadn't considered that. The data-flow is not hierarchical, which is what distinguishes it in my mind, although apparently not in my commenting :)

Let me back up and state my premises more accurately. Most successful visual languages:

* emphasise global data-flow and only have control-flow locally, if at all (eg 'if' expressions in excel)

* support broad, shallow hierarchies for organising large projects but don't require any hierarchy for small projects

* allow data-flow between arbitrary sources/sinks regardless of data organisation

So control-flow hardly exists, data-flow is not hierarchical and the data model has a shallow hierarchy where the leaves are big flat chunks of data.

I suspect that even in organisation, a single strict hierarchy is not the best model. Non-technical users often struggle with hierarchical file-systems and prefer tags or search. File-systems themselves end up needing to implement multiple parents (eg links in linux).

We haven't gotten to large projects yet in Eve but our solution will likely draw from the evolution from hierarchical file-systems to tags, search and 'smart folders'.
This is why I don't like this model. I don't need or want to spend money on a new phone every two years, but if I don't exercise the option, I'm leaving money on the table.

I think the optimal strategy is to avoid "buying" the option to begin with, get a cheap unsubsidized plan, get an inexpensive phone, and keep it for three to five years.
Yeah, build caching makes it much more practical to rebuild in many cases. But there are still some workflows where even waiting a few seconds is too long - most commonly when you're writing frontend code and want to just refresh the browser every time you edit a line of css.
Isn't one of the drawbacks to the German system that you're directed down one particular path very early in your education?

In other words, by the time you're in high school, you're either in the "university path" or the "trade path"?

I honestly don't know but it would be interesting to hear thoughts. Does it make it harder to switch careers later in life?

Many of the 4.8 million unfilled jobs could be filled at a higher rate of pay. Some employers seem to think they get to set the pay and magically have qualified applicants show up.
Not to be too much of a jerk about it, but do you think that every time harassment happens, the sky opens up and the hand of God smites the perpetrator?

Something else might have smote him, but I was in a different city when this happened. I'll never forget who he is, though.
A few years ago, a close relative of friend was an Assistant Drug Controller for a particular region of India. As is the case with a huge number of Indian government officials, this guy was corrupt to the core. I was quite aware of how his factory "inspection" reports were aided by greased palms. I imagine that a huge portion of drugs here are shit. My family has been safe so far probably because we go to reputed doctors who prescribe good drugs.

In a way it's ironic that things that are not essential to our lives... like computer products, cameras, mobile phones, etc. have so many review and benchmarking sites. We consumers pore over those reports to help us make the next purchase. The best part is that none of these reviews or benchmarks are mandated by government agencies. But when it comes to drugs that can save our lives, we seem lead our lives mostly in ignorance.
> Current thinking is the body repairs that damage with clots and cholesterol

does this imply that if there's very little damage (due to inflammation or substance abuse) elevated cholesterol doesn't really matter?
This suggests that's not the case:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_time#Gradual_decrease_i...

And work aside, think about living life without modern conveniences such as washing machines, dishwashers, fridges and freezers, vacuum cleaners, electric/gas ovens, microwaves, kettles and air conditioning.

Running a household a hundred years ago (or fifty years ago depending on wealth) would have been a much more time consuming affair for a significantly lower standard of living. I expect that trend to continue.
The nice thing with SIMs is that if your battery is flat, or you put your phone through the washing machine, you can grab the card and throw it into a spare phone (or a friend's) and carry on.

If you have the Ki on the device, you're effectively going back to CDMA-style devices, whereby you need the carrier's assistance to move between handsets.
Developers need configuration management too
I sympathize with you and I hope that HN/Google does too, but please, please, please include a description of the app that clearly describes how it is the converse of what Google says it is, if you want people to understand why it's different. As the second paragraph, if possible.

Yes, Western pharma companies do a lot of questionable and outright wrong things, but this story just takes the cake. It's in an entirely different league.

In a conference call with a dozen company executives, one brushed aside her fears about the quality of the AIDS medicine Ranbaxy was supplying for Africa. “Who cares?” he said, according to Spreen. “It’s just blacks dying.”

Step 2 is converting to phones that don't cost $750! There are some great phones for less than $300 unsubsidized nowadays.
From where you have got this data?
I've lived in a couple of different metric countries, and built many things in my life, worked on cars, etc. etc.

Nobody uses centimeters. Ever.

It's all millimeters, even when it's a round number, i.e. nobody says "Mark it at 10cm", they say "Mark it at 100 mil(limeters)".

It's not worth trying to cut many things to an accuracy greater than 1mm, so that's a fine enough "smallest" unit.

> I think even FRP (as pure data flow as we get) is hierarchical since components (and sub-components) can still encapsulate state.

That's an interesting point. We explicitly avoid encapsulating state in that way, preferring views to interfaces.

> I would argue that relational is also effectively hierarchical ... object graph.

A graph is fine. The difference from a typical OO hierarchy is we get to start wherever we want in the graph and we can easily insert new edges anywhere in the graph, or hyperedges that relate multiple entities. It's not like a filesystem where you have to decide which property of the file is most important and gets to be at the top of the hierarchy.
After a quick search, it seems that Air 2 still has 1GB of RAM

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/213211f3b

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Apple-iPad-Air-2-vs-Google-Ne...

If more apps on Air 2 are 64-bit than on Air 1, the memory consumption with Air 2 would be more than that with Air 1. In case the RAM size stays the same, Air 2 could see more page-in/page-out, especially when you keep lots of chrome tabs open or other tasks on...

But perhaps different user groups have different usage patterns that fit different hardware configuration, and Apple might know it very well...

OP's premise wasn't that "hierarchy exists", but that it's "the correct organization of data." Now you are just glibly pointing out that everything can be structured as a hierarchy. That does not make the case.
That's quite a rhetorical leap you just made, there.

From TFA:

> Skeptical Americans worry that the European model requires tracking, and it’s true, German children choose at age 10 among an academic high school, a vocational track, or something in between. But it turns out there’s a lot of opportunity for trainees to switch tracks later on. They can go back to school to specialize further or earn a master craftsman’s certificate or train as a trainer in the company’s apprenticeship program—and many do. What education reformers call “lifelong learning” is still a distant dream for most Americans. In Germany, it’s a reality.
>This issue came up at nearly every stop on the tour, we Americans asking about what costs mean for ROI and the Germans telling us to look beyond ROI to the longer-term benefits, for the company and society. Ultimately, of course, they’re right. But it’s hard to imagine many American firms, generally focused on short-term financial gain, building the kind of in-house training centers we saw at every German plant.

And this is why it will never happen until there is a massive cultural shift. Americans and American firms have accepted and even embraced the tragedy of the commons in a wide variety of areas. Where most people realize a race to the bottom is something to be avoided, in America, it's something to be won.

Add an indicator that the app is running, and add some language in the description that directly (not just indirectly) addresses the policy. Re-submit and build up a new reputation.

Yes, that sucks. The entire "we'll take 30% of your money but you can't talk to a real person and we won't tell you how we interpret your app in terms of our rules" is ludicrous. In the U.S. the market is supposed to bring forth more developer friendly app store ecosystems, but that isn't working so well.

Also, the "we'll terminate any other, unrelated accounts at or whim" smells of anti-trust violations, but nobody has yet had the case, money, and time to take them to task for it.

So, the two options are to conform like the minion to the system we all are, or find another line of business.

I like the open plan workspace. Peace for me is more mental than physical. Music makes it even better. But not everybody would agree with music playing in the office. Open plan helps better team communications in my experience cutting down silos.
But it is very strange that they have open plan only for developers and not for others. That does not sound like an "all employees equal" organisation. Or maybe they have their reasons that I don't yet see.
That's a relief. Thanks for that. Don't know how you found it, that's pretty impressive!
And none of this website can be expressed with a proper language most of the world uses... Instead we have English.
My concern is where the pivot point is. Sure Google should remove if any APPs' idea is to spy people. However that made Google/APPLE too much power over developers or users. What if I want my dog has a smart phone spy mode: "on" so I can find him when he's lost?

If giant companies can control what you can publish today, they can control what layout you should have on your APPs next week, they can control what contents is allowed next month, then they can decide if you are allow to communicate before you even noticed.
