Looks really cool! I'd love to see an open grammar definition format for all kinds of tools, both command-line and GUI.

I've worked on parsing TrueType files, and they have some really "interesting" grammars. For example, they have lookup tables that define offsets at the beginning of the file. Also, a format flag at the beginning of a table might define the structure of the rest of the table.

It seems that once you decide you want to be able to parse all of this, you're grammar will turn into a Turing-complete language. Have you considered this? Where do you stop?
No chance. The I/O is too slow - you'd need a mess of cables. As others pointed out, putting the computer inside the monitor bypasses this and lets the display driver interact directly with the display rather than sending the signal through a port and cable.
Getting out a tablet, even a mini, for paying something seems burdensome. Are you going to get a credit card out of your wallet or a tablet out of your backpack ?

So this is mostly limited to app store purchases (and online ?) I guess.
Ah, thanks! Will fix.
I've come to prefer the look of it compared to Mavericks on my non-retina desktop display, but only slightly; and when I switch back to Mavericks there are things that are nicer about it. But on my retina MacBook display, wow, there's just no comparison: Yosemite looks so good. Beautiful.

As far as features: I've been wishing for the Continuity and Handoff stuff for years. When my computer's running Mavericks it now feels isolated, like a mini version of how it feels to use a computer that's not connected to the Internet. If you're not also invested in iPhones and iPads, that won't be the case, of course.
I thought the whole point of containerization was that you ran apps in a container, but the container doesn't contain an operating system. (You have several containers on one instance of the OS, not several VMs, each with its own OS. That's how it works in Linux, anyway.)
Agreed. 16gb kind of sucks, especially with the OS growing and growing, yet 64 or 128 are completely beyond the way I use my tablet. 32gb is great. I really hope we'll see a 32gb minimum in 2015 next year.

At the same time, there ARE people who don't store anything on their ipad. Like my grandpa. He uses it for mail, news etc on his couch. So it's a bit of a waste to hook up this segment of people with an additional 16gb they'll never touch. And having four different sizes (16,32,64,128) is problematic. At the end of the day though, my grandpa could use a cheap nexus 7 for that type of stuff. The iPad at the end of the day is a very high-end device, yet the entry-level product fills up with the OS, three movies and three large games.

So I'm a bit split on this one. But I think next year the time's ripe for 32gb minimum, again we're talking about the premium-spectrum of tablets here that are replacing some of our laptop/desktop life. Of the 16gb you're usually left with 12-14gb...

When will it be available? It is saying Item is not available
> All current associations are probably false positives.

Why do you say that? The recent results like Rietveld et al 2013 have used stringent false-positive rates precisely because of the early rash of false positives in the early '00s, and the hits seem to be replicating pretty well.
is it upgradeable or the chips are soldered within the mainboard?
What about Rust? It seems like it has incorporated most of the good features of OCaml.
For $450 you can buy a 28" 4k monitor: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&c...

Although I'm not sure how the display quality compares, that'll be for e.g. Anandtech to test. And other 5k monitors are in the same price range as the imac (except without the computer part)
Here is an up-to-date list of broken Homebrew formulas:

Many more were previously broken but have been fixed given the time that the Developer and Beta-builds of Yosemite have been out.
Undo is expensive and error prone.
"...surveyed 85 incarcerated offenders at a prison in South East England about their prosocial traits. The inmates were aged 18 to 34 and the majority had been jailed for acts of violence and robbery..."

That tends to support the claim that these are "bad people" in the ordinary sense of the term.

It is pretty well documented that almost no one thinks they are a bad person: http://www.amazon.com/Evil-Inside-Human-Violence-Cruelty/dp/... (I cannot recommend this book enough if you're interested in understanding evil.)
I experienced no problems with earlier major OS X updates on my MBP, so personally I'd go down the update route. Nevertheless, it's a good idea to have Time Machine backups at hand.
It looks like it's $6/month, not $15. Did I miss something?

I would think for graphic design work the extra resolution would be well worth the extra price.
Fun how this is more or less the contrary of what I think, so I'll add my point of view as a counter argument. IMHO if you need a transport layer, you are 99.9% of cases well served by TCP and should not consider UDP at all if not as a last resort to implement your transport protocol. Instead UDP is the way to go when you don't need a transport layer at all, and you can do with trivial ack / resend strategy (DNS is the obvious example), or just best-effort transfers where packet loss is not an issue at all (think a thermometer sending readings every second). In those cases the TCP three way handshake would be an overkill, and the benefits of TCP are minimal because of the use case.
> Too bad that the OSes on either end would discard UDP packets when they faced buffer pressure.

Which unfortunately is all they can do, in the limit. Otherwise, if applications (or the OS itself) can't keep up with the incoming packet/data rate, buffers would grow without bound. Not good for a production system.
Thanks for the info -- didn't know Haswell has that limit. (I guess that's one of the benefits of buying pro stuff.)
I really dislike the fullscreen behavior in Yosemite, not only for the animation (as you mention), but also because I feel like the average user is going to want a "maximize" button more often than a "fullscreen" button.

Besides, most sites that have content that lends itself to fullscreen mode (e.g. YouTube) allow you to enter fullscreen mode through the site, so being able to enter through the browser window is not typically necessary.

At work, I use multiple displays, and it's really not seamless when you have one display in fullscreen mode and another not. Imagine having three monitors side-by-side, with the middle in fullscreen mode, and trying to drag a window from Display 1 to Display 3. Maybe this is fixed by now, but in beta, Yosemite sometimes let the fullscreen mode "overrule" the window dragging, so you couldn't see it on Display 2. I know, first world problems, but it's jarring nonetheless.

What's especially frustrating is that there doesn't seem to be a built-in "maximize" function anywhere! The closest I've come to in Chrome is Window > Zoom, but there's not even a keyboard shortcut for that.
For some reason I am currently addicted to this show that follows inmates around in prison and one thing every inmate eventually says "I'm locked up with a bunch of criminals!". Then the second thing they do is compare their crime to another and concludes they are not nearly as bad as the rapist or killer. Amazingly people who kill, rape, etc are all together with someone who stole a car, broke into a house, was caught with drugs.

Yes, but the tax money goes to the poor, which increases their consumption. So you should end up with fewer jobs in luxury resorts and more jobs in industries which produce necessities. The problem is that luxury goods and services tend to be labor-intensive, so you might end up with a net loss in jobs.
Which is better? 10 people serving daiquiris to rich people, or 5 people producing socially beneficial things and 5 people out of a job?
Fonts have been notorious for being ill-defined, and this can wreak havoc on applications that do not handle them properly. I would be very interested in seeing some font related bffts surface for the purposes of font validation and analysis.

I have concerns about Turing-completeness, and am interested in maintaining the declarative nature of bffts. The grammar is has drifted from that goal, and I am not entirely sure how to bring it back.
Doesn't TB2 have two interleaved streams, one carrying DP1.2 and the other carrying 20Gbps PCI-E? Even if the PCI-E stream has enough bandwidth for 5K in theory, the ecosystem isn't in place to use it as a display output. That's what the DP part is for.

What high end android phone ships with 8? The only one I can think of is the old Nexus 4, but being a $299 phone it obviously had to cut corners somewhere. I wouldn't call it high-end either considering its weak battery and lack of LTE support.

I find a lot of phones and tablets are stuck at 16gb, as you mentioned, regardless of OEM. End users don't seem to be making space a priority, instead they just want thinner and sexier, which has led to the problem of low battary capacities, bending issues, and screens that are easily cracked.

I think think we're in the infancy of mobile and wearables. I suspect a big sturdy 6" phone will become the status quo soon enough with a smartwatch companion for notifications. I'm kinda doing this now with my N5 and my Moto 360 and its a great combo. Moving to the N6 with its massive battery and gorgeous screen is a no brainer. Also, constant 24/7 LTE or wifi makes storage much less of an issue, but I suspect it might be an issue for me as I migrate away from using a tablet to just using a phablet and then that 16gb limitation will be painful.
It seems to me that a top-of-the-line consumer machine should be able to compete with a 3 year old workstation (that hadn't received a significant update in two years -- effectively 5yo hardware).
Stating "we've been acquired" in their past tweet, and now stating "We were almost certain we had found a new home for Twitpic (hence our previous tweet), but agreeable terms could not be met" are two very different things. I don't like the dishonesty from their past tweet.
Wasn't sure what that was going to do, now I have 40 tabs open. lol
These days I am moving away from anything that isn't a .com. I have a couple domains that I think are other TLD for legacy reasons but trying hard not to buy anything that isn't a .com generally
The above calculation was for 32bpp:

3 colors * 1 byte * (8 bits/byte) = 32 bits
Right.

One usually want to reimplement a reliable protocol (e.g. similar to TCP) on top of UDP when dealing with peer-to-peer capabilities.

Indeed, NAT traversal is easier to implement and more reliable when dealing with UDP techniques (e.g. UDP hole punching).
You're ignoring signalling and overhead. The actual usable bandwidth is about 17.3Gbps, thus not enough (for 60fps uncompressed stream).

DisplayPort v1.3 can deliver 25.92Gbps of usable bandwidth, thus required for 5k [1].

Show HN: The Hunted: A top-down multiplayer shooter with limited field of view
If IE was ever more standards-compliant than it's competition, it was a very short-lived period. It made cross-platform (i.e., normal, ordinary, and real) web development problematic for over a decade.

You can say Netscape imploded, but they experienced a fight-or-flight response forced on them by Microsoft's scummy actions. I never said that bundling was illegal, but that's a purely legalistic distinction. I certainly implied it was unethical.

Before the trial, Microsoft gave about $10K a year in political donations. By the time it ended, they were giving over a million to EACH side. You weren't the only one watching, but not everyone watched the same things.
Title misleading. "The most popular unofficial reddit app FOR iOS" (which is 1/5th as used as Android).

Presumably there are more popular unofficial reddit apps out there when you start counting Android.
That table is for glucose only. It would be the same for cholesterol if and only if a glucose molecule weighs the same as a cholesterol molecule (is it even possible to do that conversion, given that there are at least two different kinds of cholesterol, with different atomic masses?)
You should divide 20Gbps by 9 bits (2275 MB/s) or even by 10 (2048 MB/s), not by 8, because in addition to useful payload, there are also packet headers and control packets being transferred. So it actually doesn't.

Ask HN: Career change into tech advice?
I am in the middle of trying to make a career change. My work history is in finance. Until recently I worked for a large real estate investment fund. I was really unhappy at that job, and the stress of it triggered two major depressive episodes. After seven years doing it, I have no interest returning.

I have spent a long time contemplating my next career move. I think tech is where I would be happiest. In high school I dabbled in learning C I was very interested in reverse engineering. I had bootlegged copies of Numega Soft Ice and IDA installed. Technical manuals from Intel on the x86 instruction set, from Microsoft on the PE file format. I was, in short, a huge nerd. And I was very lonely.

I gave all this up in hope of reinventing myself in college. After graduating I ended up following the crowd into finance. Eventually I resumed my tech hobby. I wrote some small programs in Python. I experimented briefly with Haskell. I now am writing a webapp in Clojure. All of these things I did for my me and me alone, primarily as learning exercises.

This brings me to today. As I said, I feel like I would be happiest in the tech field. I feel stuck though. My ideal job is one that would be 50/50 tech and business. I enjoy programming but I have no way of knowing whether I would enjoy doing it 100% of the time. Probably I wouldn't. Further, I hate the idea of being pigeonholed into any role. I don't want to be just Programmer, or just Business Drone.

I've considered project and product manager roles, thinking they might provide the right mix of business and tech. I have reservations about these roles though; they seem like middlemen who just coordinate others. E.g. on an informational interview, one project manager estimated to me that he spends a fifth of his time "traffic copping" his email.

Hopefully there are people reading this that were in a similar position at some point. If so, I would love to hear your story and get your advice.
Agree - a 128gb ssd would have been better than that and cost roughly the same.
Woah... I could have sworn it said 15!
I think all they're saying is that the location X appears precise, but that it's not accurate. Just because the pin appears at location X doesn't mean that the user was actually at location X, simply that the database ended up recording their location as a (inaccurate) point that happened to be X, as opposed to recording an "area of uncertainty" or similar construct.
The color and contrast is way better than any matte screen I've seen. Reflections are not a big problem for me, but of course this depends on your computer setup and where your windows are located etc.

The annoying thing is that it's nearly impossible to find a glossy screen on the market.
It's interesting that they have dropped NVidia graphics, hopefully they won't for the rmbp line in spring seeing as I'm hoping to buy one then for CUDA development.
Contrary to Piketty’s rentier hypothesis, I don’t see anyone on the list whose ancestors bought a great parcel of land in 1780 and have been accumulating family wealth by collecting rents ever since.

Bill, you didn't read far enough into the Forbes 400 article, which says:

"We didn’t include dispersed family fortunes. Those appeared on our America’s Richest Families list, which came out in July."

That money from 1780 is far from 'long gone.' In fact, most wealthy people started life rich and got richer, largely because they could afford to place bigger bets in life and take advantage of opportunities for labor-free capital gains that simply aren't available to people born without capital.
Contrary to Gates' assertion, a 2012 study found that two thirds of the Forbes 400 were born wealthy (http://www.faireconomy.org/bornonthirdbase2012).
So asm.js? Its certainly getting close to that point.
Wireless (802.11) has built in re-transmit on a per link basis, so in practice the drop rate isn't as big as you'd expect - the main problem is packet jitter, not loss.
Ed Hatch Discusses “Honing Your Negotiating Edge – Gaining Trust and Loyalty”
I would say the pros are not there just yet; it would certainly look nicer, but not a whole lot nicer. Moving from 1366x768 on laptops to 2560x1560 (or whatever it is, can't remember off the top of my head) was a great shift. This isn't quite as big a deal.

It would be very nice to be able to display full 4K detail or side-by-side 1080p videos for editing purposes. Photo editing will be great too, though you will have to resort to 'physical zoom' (i.e. moving your head closer) to do serious pixel peeping, rather than the old and probably superior technique of blowing up the pixels to larger than you'd see them normally.

For gaming and such.... I'm not really sure. Downsampling is now the name of the game, i.e. rendering above the display rez and dropping it down, which has nice effects on IQ. Rendering 14.7 million pixels is a hell of a task to start with, and then you start getting all manner of masks, per-pixel effects, etc... the demands really multiply. Plus there's also a focus on high framerates, like 120, which we're not going to see at 4K or 5K for a gooood long while. It'll be years before things catch up at the mid-tier level of processors and GPUs. And 8 GB of RAM, I hardly need add, is entirely insufficient.

tl;dr: for today's flat desktop purposes, probably not necessary but could be nice. for gaming and other purposes, probably reaching too far. but it's still a nice trend.
> It's difficult to notice any pixelation on a 27" screen at a resolution of 2560x1440

Not once you are used to a retina display. I have both a retina Macbook Pro, and a 27" iMac. It is actually really obvious, especially when looking at text.

> you're probably not going to be able to read text at 5120x2880 without zooming

This is correct, unless you use the standard retina resolution which is like 2560x1440 except doubled, so everything is the same size just much nicer looking.
I have 6 yr old and a dog. Dog i've had for little more than a yr. There is a running joke in the house that - if there is a fire in the house, and I can only save one - I will save dog first and then kid. I think it has to do with innocence..kids have that pure innocence(at least until they are 6/7 yrs old), and dogs the same...there is no hidden motives, no long term agenda...they are just interested in play... interested in whatever is going on in the moment. And this is what attracts us.
Except of course that both outputs could come from their own separate GPU. Plenty of dual GPU cards.
I am sorry,but no it wasn't. 3*8 is 24 not 32. But in any case I don't think the display requires 32 bits, alpha is not necessary.

> You don't agree?

No, I don't. You're searching for some total order ranking function where there isn't one. People love who they love and a lot of that is based on proximity and shared experience. I demonstrably care more about my dog than I do any random child in the third world, as demonstrated by the fact that I fed my dog this morning and I haven't donated to a feed-a-child-in-the-third-world charity today. By your logic, since humans rank higher than dogs, am I morally obligated to exhaust my financial resources helping needy humans before I can take care of my dog?
We might've been taught the metric system, but I think most Americans don't have the intuitive feel for the units in the way that we do for the English ones.

Though, it is a bit more complicated, at least for me. For example, if I'm weighing small objects/quantities, I definitely prefer grams and have a fairly good sense of how much of something there is if given a weight in grams. But larger weights, like people, etc., I use pounds. I know that a kilogram is 2.2 pounds, but if you give me a weight in kilos, I still have to convert it to pounds for it to be meaningful to me in a real world sense.

YMMV, though.
This has got to be off.

This is highly interesting but I'm confused. Do you mean that diet doesn't matter when it comes to blood cholesterol
and the LDL/HDL ratio can only be affected by medication or that only the ratio but not overall blood cholesterol can be influenced by the diet?

You're missing the point. If someone says they love their pet, you just don't ask that kind of question. It's like showing up at a church with a Dawkins book; who cares if you're "right," you still look like an asshole.

Or, to be more obvious, it'd be like asking a happily married person if they really thought they picked the best person or if they just settled for the best they could get.
Use something like Bundler, Maven, Pip, npm, sbt. For example bundler has the `$> bundler outdated` command that shows dependencies that have new versions.
