I disagree. I think there's a lot more to mead than "diluted honey." Varietal honey produces different flavors, not to mention all the variations you can produce by adding juices and spices.

It's also one of the few homebrews that can save you money. A good batch of homebrewed beer is often not much cheaper than a good store bought microbrew. Compare this to my local meadery which charges $22 for 750 ml of mead. I can brew 5 gallons (~19,000 ml) of good mead for around $60.
Starcraft is known for the speed that you need on your keyboard hand to play well. You can certainly play RTSs badly with one hand though (which is what most people do, it might even be more fun this way).

There is a player who plays Starcraft at a moderately high level with no hands though, http://videosift.com/video/OMG-he-plays-Starcraft-WITH-NO-HA... .

You can get a good amount of conversion just from steeping. A lot of the extract brew kits use unmilled grain, which is good for shelf life but bad for conversion (but still adds flavor), which is probably where you got the impression that steeping doesn't work. I think the primary reason for needing a mash tun is to handle the volume of grain needed for 5+ gallons of brew. If you are brewing less than that, you can get away with steeping in the brew pot, and equipment permitting, sparge using a colander or grain bag. Just add a little extra grain to account for conversion losses.

From my experience, you only loose a few degrees of temp over the hour of steeping in the boil kettle. I usually put a towel or two on top of the lid to help retain heat, and if needed, will pour some hot water in from the tea kettle to keep the temp up, but that is rarely needed.

For a quick, hipstery, overview of the gallon batch method go here, I use this method for my gallon brews, and the results have been really good:

I haven't tried this, but here is the brew-in-a-bag method:

I have a buddy in a similar situation as yours (kids, no time to brew). He has a killer setup (15 gallon, all-grain), and his solution was to just cut back to brewing a few times a year, and invite some buddies over to help. I think one gallon brews are best left to people in small apartments or for experimentation. In your situation, I would keep in mind the yield-per-time metric. A 15 gallon brew might take a few hours longer than a gallon brew, but it yields 15x more beers. Gallon brews are a good way to keep your brewing instincts sharp, but it won't keep your fridge full.
While I admit the government is trying to censor (or was, I've yet to see any evidence of this from the current government) certain politically critical articles etc. and I am unaware of the true extent of the CMS, the part about the UID program seems rather sensationalist and fear-mongering, since the primary aim of the UID program is the ability to identify the citizens of India similar to the US social security number system.

The reason we need this biomertic data would be to ascertain the identity of over a billion people where unique names, places of birth and the existence of birth certificates aren't the norm, not in order to constantly police the populace.

If you could make more explicit the problems with gathering biometric data of citizens, (which shouldn't be used for security purposes anyway) then I'm sure I would get a better understanding of your position.
Thanks for this - this looks cool!
Wouldn't that be pretty fucking insane though, to get imprisoned for opening a page that you had reason to believe the government didn't want you to see? Sentenced to life in prison for Unlawful Use of Eyesight.

If you're worried about that actually happening, you just might live in a police state, don't you think?

But let us never doubt that governments are a wondrous, necessary and Just institution. Sometimes they just have to torture you to death to maintain order for, you know, the greater good and all.

I learned about machine learning way after I learned mathematics, so it always amused me that

Don't be stupid, I'm not complaining about racism.

But earlier you said:

>>It'd be really interesting to find out the correlation between the users who down-voted and the color of their skin. I am pretty sure about the outcome.

That's the only reason I downvoted you and replied.

We all read(or should have read) the article here. It was a tough call; some people claim it was the wrong call. I say they made the right call.

Think what you want, I can see I'm not going to convince you. I'm just telling you that I downvoted you and why I did it.
You are right of course.

I was playing with it, had to go to a meeting and forgot I'd modified the question.
In my experience it's not the difficulty of the key press that is the source of the problem. For me, it's "bottoming out". Without the tactile feedback (and maybe the sound, too) it's too easy for me to press a key "too hard" when typing at full speed and have my finger brought to a full-stop hitting the bottom.
"It is rather more absurd to withhold the medicine from a dying patient simply to manage "public perception" sir."

That would be awful it it were true. Why do you think that is the case? Neither the submitted article, my Lancet link, nor my CBC link contain those words. However, the CBC article notes:

"The drug had never been tested on humans. What if it caused an allergic reaction that killed Dr. Khan?"

"His blood showed antibodies to the virus, evidence that his own immune system was already in full battle. What if the drug got in the way of that immune response?"

"...the final decision was left with the doctors at the field hospital in Sierra Leone, although it was not a unanimous decision."

Friend of Dr Khan talking about the decision, "I do want it to be clear that these were difficult, delicate decisions that people in a stressful situation had to make."

"The treatment, it was felt, if it was to be used at all, would be better attempted at the more sophisticated hospital in Europe where Dr. Khan was about to be moved."

"A Spanish priest who also received the experimental treatment later died."

All of these undercut your accusations completely.

So this feature must actually be present in the shell and maybe it is. I’m no expert but maybe zsh already offers something like this?

What “hacking” competitions/challenges exist?
I agree, especially for the behaviour from the parent:

"ps -f" truncates long lines instead of wrapping, while "ps -f | cat" lets the long lines live

How people usually discover what these commands do is by running them interactively, and if that results in some output being hidden vs being run noninteractively, then they have little reason to believe that it could yield more output than what they're used to seeing. I think a certain number of "ps" users don't know it can display full paths and commands, if they've only ever used it interactively.
Pretty much any rts even if keyboards have practical shortcuts. Some rpg too. I'm playing shadowrun dragonfall with only the mouse, awesome game (rpg with turn based combats, bargain price). But its very cool from you to try to come out with a solution for your friend. It would be useful mostly for fps shooters or rpg.
What you describe is not democracy but tyranny of majority. To curtail it minorities are given extra rights. The ban has to do with hurting religious sentiments of minorities.

Democracy sometimes requires sacrificing a privilege for public benefit. India has a very diverse culture (I would say no other country in world has such a diverse demographic) and co-existence can be uneasy. Non-Indians may not understand the compromises one has to make, to coexist harmoniously.

I commend you for helping your friend. When I was a child, my fathers friend lost his left arm and all but two fingers on his right hand in a train accident. My dad hired him to work around our yard and help out. He eventually taught the guy how to tie his shoes with only two fingers. I'm still impressed by my fathers patience and inventiveness in helping his friend get back on his feet. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it happen for your friend as well.

My initial thought is there has got to be some kind of foot pedals for the left handed controls. If you can't find one, take an old keyboard and eliminate all the keys except the ones needed for gaming. Then attach foot pads to the gaming keys he needs. It will probably take some time, but he'll eventually get used to it.

None of the parties mentioned actually deny the above equivalence. The reason backprop is a popular idea in deep learning is because people started developing continuous models, where the output (and the error) was a continuous and differentiable function of the input and the weights, which allowed chain rule to be used to compute the gradients, which allowed one to use gradient descent methods. This shift from discrete units to continuous units was termed error backpropogation, and not just chain rule.

People who down-voted != People who took the decision of taking away the medicine from Dr. Khan. Are you even reading anything?

Yes, some of the users on HN are definitely racist.

Don't mix it with the subject of knowing names of doctors as per OP's article.

Until we see the trail of those debates and discussions between doctors there seems to be no need for me to assume anything.
Is it just me or is there a trend these days to announce big 'lets-change-the-world-by-<some revolutionary scheme or other>' and then do pretty much more of the same ol' thing everyone is trying to do ? I mean, yeah, there are innovative 'world-changing-quantum-leap-moments' that have happened in history but even those happened ...ehe.. ^grew organically^ ..for lack of a better phrase, or in other words, happened when it was the right time for them to happen. Big leaps of development seldom occur by just announcing plans and throwing a bunch of money to the problem. They take time and incremental steps. The tone of this article is just annoying and offensive since it presumes nobody else sees the problems or wants to change the mess we are in, or even if they do, the only reason they are holding back is due to lack of funds or risks in 'long-term plays'. This directly conflicts everything that the articles starts off with and does a disservice to any one who is involved with solving large problems right now.
To whoever downvoted me, was it in objection to my implied description as bloodthirsty of the group behind the religious riots in which "1,000-2,000 people died and there were brutal gang rapes, people being burnt alive and other horrors"? If so, I'd be interested to hear by what standards such behaviour could be considered anything other than bloodthirsty and conflict-minded.

Ideed. I've seen people over and over stumbling over this weird behaviour.

It may have some merits, but as a general advice this is definitely an anti-pattern.

Another example is "curl", where "curl URL >outfile" is chatty on stderr, while "curl URL" is quiet on stderr. That's very annoying for scripting, you easily forget to set "-s" in your scripts due to that behaviour.
This is the first time I have seen UID scheme being mentioned as a surveillance tool. The aim of the scheme is to replace the outdated mechanisms - signature, name and address papers which can easily be forged. Why poor people are encouraged to register under the UID scheme? So that the benefits provided by India's socialist governments (central and state) can reach them without any corruption or delay. The fear of it being misused is currently unjustified and without any proof.

Secondly, I think most people over-estimate the Indian government's technical ability. We are nowhere near US or China in mass surveillance. No Indian agency has the expertise anywhere near NSA or PLA Unit 61398. And unlike in China where there are many popular local tech companies, Indians use products of American companies (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.). So the government can neither ask the companies for data (like US) nor get the companies to actively participate in any form of censorship (like China). As long as the US companies follow basic security practices (HTTPS, SSL, 2-step verification, etc..) and don't sell out, we should be fine on the internet.

I agree that League of Legends would be a great game to be played with only a mouse. You would just need a mouse with lots of buttons!

Take the Razer Naga for example (http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga). It has 12 configurable buttons on the side of the mouse, as well as 5 on top.

In League of Legends, you only require the following default key bindings on the keyboard:

(The following are crucial)

1. Q [champion ability]

2. W [champion ability]

3. E [champion ability]

4. R [champion ability]

5. D [summoner ability]

6. F [summoner ability]

(The following are less crucial, but almost required)

7. 1 [activate item 1]

8. 2 [activate item 2]

9. 4 [activate trinket]

10. B [teleport back to base]

Pressing numbers 3 and 5 through to 7 on the keyboard, by default, are to activate additional items, but it is very rare that you would have the need to activate more than 1 or 2 items in the game. I would say they are not required to be bound at all (or at least, I never press them).

Other useful keys to use in the game are Ctrl, Alt and Shift. They are modifier keys, which when pressed with the other key bindings or mouse clicks, allow the player to perform different tasks.

Of course, not all of this functionality needs to be bound to a key. Everything can be clicked with the mouse on the game's UI if need be. However, clicking the UI is rather slow, and I think it would be safe to say that a mouse similar to the Razer Naga would allow you to play League of Legends at a rather competitive level, with only using the mouse.

All 3 are pretty close to the happening parts of the city, relatively reasonably priced, and have their own merits. Glen Park is quiet and has Bart access, Twin Peaks has views, Noe Valley is very conveniently next to the Mission and the Castro, and Inner Richmond has some of the best food in the city.

My intent to know the context of discussions, people and debate that went on for three days while Dr. Khan's health degraded was simply this: Could groupthink have been responsible for the outcome and been avoided? If so, can it be done in the future?

If you look at my original comments closely, I only complained about racially driven down-votes from some users on HN and shared my fears about a similarly driven group-think that might / might not have happened in Africa. Since there is no data on that, it should be outed.

I will not myself be excusable if I were to really accuse someone (or a group) simply by their color, especially after reading some article on HN.

All I seek is the details or think that led to the unfortunate decision. I can form my opinion off it.

Yes, this is true. We are definitely not near the US standard on the defense of free speech.

But the case you mentioned is one of the small number of such cases (I remember one from the state of West Bengal). And in this case, the over eagerness of local authorities was criticized by both the government and public.

As of now, I would place India somewhere between UK (with its defamation laws) and US (gold standard of free speech) on the free speech issue. I do hope that the government takes steps to make sure that local authorities do not have power to override the right of free speech.
