Having updated the drivers and OS, it seems that the issues are all fixed by this point (which I'm putting in the Day 1 entry tomorrow). Was a really disconcerting out-of-box experience, though.
You have to deposit money initially in a joint escrow account which they can then seize or make very difficult for you to get in case you leave.
A filter for those who are only interested in one aspect of the graph (i.e. language influence) would be very nice. With the current balancing, Haskell is closer to Java than to ML.
I'd elaborate on your 3rd point: some administrative units that are coordinating MOOCs underestimate the amount of time needed to plan, construct, and iteratively develop a truly excellent experience. The outcome is more or less predictable. I think a MOOC might probably be more like an iterative project (with bug fixes, updates to reflect new information, changes to reflect better explanations, etc.) -- it's not really "done" so much as "evolved". Designing a course is hard enough; designing one that can rest alone without direct feedback of the professor who gives the lecture series is more like a book project: those can take months and months of preparation and refinement. If you don't get credit for this effort, how could you dedicate time to it?

Once universities gives on-line MOOC career kudos similar to a book (or at least a peer-reviewed articles), the incentives to make the lectures truly great will emerge. I think this could transform community colleges and even some state colleges into institutions that provide one-on-one tutoring to those who really need/want the guided tour.

As a side note: Art History can be fascinating -- it's an excellent way to teach people to slow down, look closely, and form well-written, coherent logical arguments supported by evidence. It has a low barrier to entry. Unfortunately, I think much college eduction today is trying to make up for a completely broken primary and secondary school experience. Perhaps that should be our focus? Perhaps MOOCs will help in this regard -- by providing excellent eduction accessible to young children.
Yeah, an also note awesome laptops like an Acer I got for $400 5 years ago and despite many many hard hits against the floor it still works and has the same battery life length. This is true, but the problem with anecdotal experience is that you can "prove" anything with it.
My thoughts exactly. Center the term if found and highlight it would do the trick already.

There also needs to be better filtering of the raw data ("many others" near Python is kind of a head scratcher for example).

Filters for "just languages" or language + path length of X etc. might be cool as well.

A simple NON_AUTHORS = ["others", "et al."] etc. and using that in normalize_data would be a good start imo.

Edit: Plankalkül also has encoding issues :)

My uncle is a psychiatrist, and he has a theory that the definition is more of a matrix than a spectrum. He says that what is often called attention deficit would better be described as intention surplus - you have more intention than your attention can handle. A lot of A.D.D. cases are confused by the fact that they can spend several hours hyperfocused on something, so it's not a lack of attention that's the problem, it's that there is a limited supply of attention which cannot keep up with one's attention.

Putting it this way opened my eyes to my own diagnosis (diagnosed A.D.D as a child).

I knew a kid that had ADHD. Unfortunately it was just a label - way for a kid to get everything. The kid didn't had ADHD imo, he was just spoiled and his parents were failing to do any parenting. The kid would eat whole mountain of sweets, drink cola all day, play games and scream and cry whenever he was prohibited something. In school he wasnt interested in learning and he basically would do nothing or play portable games all day. He would also not care for others and his needs would be always #1 before anything else.

Parents were really protective of him so they would fight with teachers whenever they would try to do something about it. The kid seemed to be pretty smart and he got all this figured out and used it a lot. But whenever he would be with people he didnt knew in a room, or with no-bullshit people, he would be actually quiet and behaving very good.

SOME ADHD cases sounds like just putting label on failed parenting to shut parents and avoid being sued by them for not doing any proper parenting.

As one of those people who believe Apple's hardware is overpriced, this story doesn't change my opinion on Apple's hardware.

I recognize the quality in Apple's devices but I believe the price point is way higher than the extra quality found in their products.

I've even recommended a MacBook to someone recently. Mainly for 2 reasons; their needs aligned with what the MacBook Pro would provide them with and they weren't the one paying for it.
I have only experienced ADHD second hand, my partner has been diagnosed with it years ago, and a good friend of mine as well. I recognise the "coping mechanisms" with alcohol, and the frustration of getting mundane things done.

The article suggests that the intense concentration or "hyperfocus" they have when they find something interesting can be used to their advantage. Both my partner and friend have gotten into occupations where they can do this. But there will always be mundane things that have to get done as well. Everyone has to pay taxes, and has to watch their spending. Few people like to do this, but almost everyone has to. Having a thrilling job does not alleviate you from these things.

So yes, it can probably help somewhat, but it can't "fix" ADHD completely.
You can buy developer versions of sql server licenses. Last time I bought them they cost £35 for the full enterprise package.

You can buy msdn packages for unlimited development use of any OS across VMs. Around £600 / year I believe. More expensive MSDN subscriptions include development OSes, Visual Studio & Sql Server at around £1000 / year.

I would like to shed light on the fact that "The Rich" have already bought up a lot of clinical trials and Medical research in general.

If you look at the research done on disease prevalent in Rich population vs prevalent diseases in the poor -- you will see a clear pattern.

For example: There are significantly more resources (Time, People and Money) focused on Rare Genetic Diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (a rare genetic disease in Caucasians)
Vs resources to find cure for malaria or better medications (in spite of the growing problem of resistance)

Although many of the disease that are more common in poorer people are always linked to socio-economic issues and are not just a disease in themselves. From intestinal parasites to malaria.

But not providing adequate resources to all such disease can turn out to be a disaster -- like that happened with US ignoring Tuberculosis as a significant health problem and then subsequent re-emergence of TB due hiv and MDR (drug resistant) forms of TB
It costs that much to manufacture the first doses, as there's a lot of hand crafting and lab work involved. Lab technicians are expensive, and the labs themselves are even more expensive. Later on, the manufacture turns from labour-intensive lab work to something more resembling a factory, and the cost per dose drops dramatically.
We're a start up using using .NET/C# MVC4 SQL Server etc etc. (Sorry can't give names Just call us "Medical Software").

There are a lot more .NET start-ups than one is lead to believe, but you don't hear so much about them because they're too busy making money to give interviews to TechCrunch ;) Seriously though, they tend to be from developers branching out of existing enterprises & "non-cool" fields and have existing customers or bootstrap funding.

With Azure, AWS, Bizspark & MAPSDD cost implications of being on the .NET stack are negligible comparing to the long term savings in maintainability.
Bitcoin is strictly supply-limited, but there are an unlimited number of altcoins.

I really don't understand why H1B visas aren't tied to the worker's pay. Considering that they're intended for difficult to find specialists, it should be easy enough to weed out fake applications by tying the visa to an at least average salary for the sector.
Ask HN: Has any of your posts ever evolved?
Intelligence floats in big cities, we breath it, and for those like me that dwell abroad, HN can be that breath of intelligence.

Has any of your post help you with a synergistic approach, new connections, give you a new outlook, fund your business or suggest a successful alternative? I'd like to know any post in HN that has made a profound effect on you.

For example, one post about learning and teaching maths linked to Thurston "On proof and Progress in Mathematics" that I consider can impact many young mathematicians. Kremer's model of innovation as a function of density of population means that tools as HN can expand the power of our minds to create and innovate like
never before.

Going into a meta post, I can imagine that HN may evolve into some kind of network that allows us to get powerful insight. But, before reaching that goal, is necessary to filter and reward those whose creative mind we all want to share.

At the minimum, those creative minds that we all want show off should be allowed to move to any country, permanent visa granted, if they are going to share their insight to help boost the economy.

Edited: mostly grammar.

> It's not Microsoft's fault...

In addition to the "Signature" branding, OP bought it in a Microsoft Store. There is really no excuse for being so terrible at taking care of their own ecosystem.
Came to choose: It was the only language that doesn't suck that the entire initial team had some to much experience with. About the open stack, seemed obvious to me - why knowingly lock yourself in? BizSpark is nice, and we're members, but not every startup takes off as fast as Slack and for a struggling company, licenses might be prohibitive.

Server setup: We have 6 docker containers: Postgres, backend, nginx, assets, data and ssh. Backend is a ubuntu+mono+backend_code. Data is the docker data container pattern. Assets is the frontend code (we're an SLA). Ssh is an sshd for looking at the data and logs in the data container.

Nginx and backend talk via fastcgi, one of ServiceStack's apphosts.

Currently it's all on one server, but the code is prepared for scaling and load balancing.

This is the reason I hope Apple guys mac a pen tablet, they are the only ones that take heating seriously, even at the application level.

Microsoft has so much legacy code when the mantra was "it does not matter how inefficient the computer is if development is fast", or "people just can add bigger batteries to laptops and the problem is solved".
This. Java with a great IDE is like a half-assed Smalltalk environment (with the notable exception that editing Smalltalk as text is trivially simple compared to java). Java+IDE gives you a kinda-sorta-macros (were macros are defined as code that write code - only the IDEs use some form of simplistic text-replacement code-generating stuff, not true macros), and kinda-sorta "smart" code (but you're not actually modifying objects in memory via a text view, like Smalltalk).

So the IDEs make it feasible to manage all the poor horizontal "abstractions" (complections, really) with all the different files and paths and whatnot. But they're much inferior to vi(m) for editing text.

Granted, if you don't do much text editing (writing, modifying, moving lines around) - the work you actually do do ("programming") - won't benefit much from a great text editor.

I used vim for small java projects before inner classes (massive spill of code/classes across files and folders) -- and it was pretty painful. When I changed to use Literate Programming - and could easily work on one file, letting the system generate the arbitrary structure java needed -- things went much more smoothly.

So, yes, YMMV - but if what you do is write/edit stuff that fits in a sane text format, a great editor is a great help. If what you're doing is composing objects from a large standard library of objects, you probably want an object editor like a visual, image-storage (as in vm image) based system like Smalltalk.
Like aleem, I'd also love to hear more.

Perhaps a post on the company blog. It would make great reading here on HN. The community gets to hear about a C#+Postgres+Mono+Docker stack and maybe you'll get some new users for your app or bright people making job inquiries. At the very least, increase brand awareness.

Just don't forget; the company logo on the blog page should link to the app, not the blog.

That is not Single-Sign-On, if you have to sign on several times. LDAP is NOT a replacement for Kerberos.

OAuth and alike might be, but when you work with internal users Kerberos is much much better. Also for web services because GSSAPI/spnego stuff just works.

By removing kerberos from base setup openBSD people have once more moved towards irrelevance outside their own closet setups. Kerberos is the only really working method you can use in corporate setups for large amounts of users and achieving SSO. When it's not in base setup, it's just easier to install any decent Linux distro, and skip openBSD. That as market placement decision was yet another major blunder from openBSD folks, and still they wonder why their donations have dried up the last a few years...

AI Principles – Bayes' Theorem for Everyone
Alright, that's fair. I'm not too familiar with the design of these trials, so I concede that my worrying about sample-poisoning is likely misplaced.

Still, and I realise I'm coming dangerously close to sounding like a tinfoil spouting "money corrupts" as I type this, I would still be wary about how introducing massive amounts of private donations of this sort might impact the process of bringing drugs to the market. For the moment, this sounds great as trials could now have a source of funding where there currently is none... but it seems to me that this would further exacerbate the problem with the pharma industry focusing on cash-cow meds. Things could get such that it would be more profitable to target an exotic ailment with wealthy backers than to target an affliction disproportionately affecting the plebes.

Not that I'm saying that we must not explore alternatives to the current policy of denying experimental drugs to terminal patients. I'm simply cautioning that we have limited resources and researchers, so we ought to be careful how policy changes influences their priorities over the years.

Not familiar with goldenview - but it looks like something similar could be achieved with eg xmonad? Or are you not using Xorg and a tiling wm?
Ideas like this seem to me to be often based on a vast overestimation of how likely a drug candidate is to work. Something like 90-95% of drug candidates in the preclinical phase fail. And even if we go to the latest stage, phase III clinical trials, there is still a 50:50 chance that they won't work.

Another issue is that the rich people likely wouldn't be happy with the chance that they're in the placebo group. So they probably would have to be guaranteed to get the real drug, outside of the actual trial.

Let me get this straight. You bought a tablet you love but every time you want to use it you have to turn the wifi off and back on?

How the heck is Microsoft still in business selling garbage like that in their own store which is supposed to curate the "Microsoft experience"?
Let's Try Acme
"Other tablets are thinner, sleeker, lighter, or easier to use for CONSUMING content, but they're a poor substitute for creating content."

This is what was said of the graphical interface at first, when all the serious applications for creating content were on the command line.

Who uses VisiCalc, Lotus 123 or Wordperfect in the command line anymore?

About creating content, it depends on what you do for a living.

I prefer to talk to my wordprocessor than typing, I prefer to stand with my tablet in my hand when I give a presentation that a computer. A tablet is much better for multiple people looking at the screen that having to move the people to a fixed screen or a laptop with fixed movement.

I agree.

I used vi, vim and was an Emacs user between 1996 and 2005 when coding on UNIX platforms.

But I have came to UNIX from the home computers, so I was already spoiled with Borland IDEs and Amiga editors before my first UNIX experience.

Got to experience Smalltalk and Oberon environments as well.

Always looked for IDE experiences in UNIX land, and since I moved 100% into JVM/CLR land, I only use Emacs or VIM for editing configuration files or when on systems where my beloved IDEs aren't available.

Even for C++, thanks to LLVM work, IDEs can offer much more that vi or emacs do, even with CEDET.
About.me Intro
It's not about speed. It's about finding the vocabulary of vim natural (which it seems you don't, which is fine). 'di(' for instance deletes the inside of parentheses. Which is a natural action to perform, if your cursor is inside parentheses.
"I would like to shed light on the fact that "The Rich" have already bought up a lot of clinical trials and Medical research in general."

I'd say that's an unfair, and loaded statement to make. "Bought up" is a very loaded term, and suggests bribery and denial of the thing being bought up from the "not-rich" by virtue of it all being taken by the "rich".

So, you say there is a "pattern", and that this is somehow the purposeful doing of the rich. With not any proof of wrong-doing, you jump to that conclusion. You don't even posit that maybe it's perhaps researchers go where there is funding, or maybe drug companies find it more profitable to treat diseases that affect the rich, whatever.

No. You blame the rich, for essentially having money and spending it on the things that affect them(if we can even make that causal link, but it's more likely indirect as per my alternate suggestions above). So in essence, what you're really bothered by is the fact that the rich don't share your views on what the rich should be spending their money on.
Agreed, but this is funny: I am now a product manager so I clicked on it thinking it's going to be interesting in that way. But I work at an education nonprofit and it kicked butt in that way :-).
Honest question: what are the advantages of this choice? I have horrible memories from the time i used microsoft software. Iirc iis had horrible logging, windows administration is not easy to be scripted (is there an ssh server/client by default?), you can be left alone if ms changes course (as has happened in the past), etc
I personally feel much safer and efficient by avoiding ms, but curious to learn and hear counter arguments.
