The Fourth Amendment does not demand a warrant for every search. Only on Internet message boards has this not been a settled issue since before our grandparents were all born.

To understand why the Fourth Amendment governs both searches and warrants, it's helpful to read up on what a "General Warrant" was at the time of the founders. Hint: they often didn't really have much to do with generating evidence.

The Amendment has two goals: first, to give the courts, rather than Congress or the President, authority in determining what a valid search is, and second to ensure that no branch of government could arbitrarily generate a piece of paper authorizing police to turn someone's house inside out.
First off, don't exercise two to three days continuously, especially if you are just starting off. If you are targeting different muscle groups, it's okay, but if you are targeting the same ones, it's not necessary.

Everyone has a different reason for working out. What's yours? Is it for strength? Building muscles? Losing weight? Different goals call for different routines.

If you are interested in StrongLifts, I would just suggest doing it with a weight that you feel comfortable with that doesn't completely paralyze you after a workout, not that StrongLifts is suppose to do that. Having done 7 minutes workout, it's a great start.

I assume it's the same effect I see with Opera (blink) on Android. Fixed positioning and small screens don't play well together, especially when zooming. They should have designed it with also a mobile layout but probably they didn't think it was worth the trouble for that kind of site. I expect that most of its audience comes from Macs, so at least 11" screens.
AWS is bit different story/department.

But hey - Amazon has probably one of the ugliest and most unreadable website from all cloud providers imo...
It wasn't so much the net ~$3B (piffle!) but approximately doubling headcount with the sort of people who got Moto to where it was before they were bought, and having to manage all that in a direction where a sale for $0.25 on the dollar is considered a success ($0.55 if you count the divested bits). It isn't quite as irrational as buying Nokia, but it's right up there. Moto was a big giant messy falling knife.
Skia: Google Open Source 2D Graphics Library
I try to approach things differently: why do people disable javascript? Is it because of security? There are ways to disable javascript only from third parties, for example, or disable certain functions (e.g. prevent alerts (natively in Chrome, or browsers extensions).

Screen readers should be able to get the current state of the page, and not read from the 'source'.

I can see some advantages of using javascript e.g. less load for the server to render things, it just becomes a directory host.

Desalinization is expensive.

A lot of the places undergoing severe drought aren't near the coast. Transporting water uphill is even more expensive, both in energy costs to pump and in construction, right-of-way, and repair costs.

The new cost model is not compatible with some of the current economic systems. Cattle ranching requires a lot of water. It's not obvious that the cost of building a replacement system is justified.

You might as well as "why are ppl complaining? Why don't they just move?"

Both are expensive, though the latter also has emotional and civic costs that are harder to measure than desal water.

Ask HN: Which tech companies are full of do-gooders?
Hi HN -

I’ll be graduating in May with a Masters in CS, and I’ve been working to compile a list of potential employers to engage with. My goal is to use my tech chops and my workaholism to help people - either locally or globally. However, at present, my list is embarrassingly small:

Watsi, KhanAcademy, Mozilla… I need your help!

Google search is failing me: the word “benefits” returns company perks and benefits, “change the world,” “helping people,” and many other similar phrases have been overused by nearly every PR department in the world (especially in tech). Maybe I should try Bing…

So, who’s out there that’s impressed you with their impact and dedication? Big or small, it doesn’t matter. I’d really appreciate your help on this! :)

Thanks, and happy Saturday,
Mike
FWIW I like texworks and texstudio for "Visual" editing due to the side-by-side display of LaTeX and PDF (and using SyncTeX to jump between them).
Other than that I mostly use Vim to edit LaTeX.

I think texstudio is fairly similar to Kile you might want to give it a shot.
Ummm..., no?

In Chrome mobile you can only do for example .play() on an audio or video element, if you call it from an eventListener that reacted to an onClick event.
Scale. Building all of the 17 planned desalination plants would decrease the water deficit by 0.54 million acre-feet (MAF), but the actual shortfall is around 10 times that. It'll also take years to bring those online.

You can try out solutions like that here, in the 'California Water Challenge' game:

If they are temporary redirects, so not cached, they can do metrics from the server logs perfectly well.
One thing that scares me about meteor is performance and scalability. I'm afraid that if I build an app that takes off, I won't be able to afford the servers to keep the app running.
Just looked at the flux presentation from facebook, and it seems to me that it's basically a set of best practice on how to wire your view actions to your controller's model and refresh. Having a single unidirectionnal "loop" model=>view=>action=>model... is something that i have been doing inside my angular controllers for a while...

Now react may help with the performances of refreshing the dom in that scenario, but so far i didn't encounter that issue myself.
If you want do create a course, my suggestion is: Treat it as any other product. Make your market research.

How big is the market for the subject you want to teach about? What is already out there? What will differentiate your course from the other ones already out there, and how are you going to promote it?

I had invested time in Angular. I don't think it was wasted time. If nothing else,
it made me hate the JS world about 1% less.

For every well maintained JS "technology" there are 100 others that aren't and
they occupy the same playground. Evaluating them takes more time than one might
think and at the end of the day, what you choose carries a huge risk. Yes this
also happens in other aspects/technologies, but with JS stuff the risk is almost
always higher.

A word about monolithic systems; You give too much credit on what a JS framework
does. It's just one job. Do you ascribe the same term to GTK or Qt for example?

To be honest, React seems decent. I don't necessarily disagree with you, you just
touched... a nerve of mine :)

If I ever have to evaluate JS frameworks again, React will have its turn then.

Cheers
I have an IRCbot that is supposed to resolve URLs and find out if they ever end up on YouTube, and then post the video title, length and viewcount.

It was an extreme hassle to implement all of this, I am partially parsing JS and the DOM just to get all those redirect services to work. It’s a huge hacky mess, but the only fast working solution.

And, for the fifth time today, I can sincerely say “Fuck you, Google!”
I disagree (about never going back) - I spent some time playing around with React (I authored https://github.com/wesleycho/angular-react ), and I found the lack of a framework for application development to be a massive void. Code organization and modularity is becoming an increasingly important problem with JS as more logic is happening in the client and more components need to be modular for fast changing requirements. Neither Angular or Flux quite solves this, but Angular provides more useful tools for managing an application.

Angular has a void with the lack of a useful enough eventing solution - $scope eventing has specific use cases, but you don't want to use it as a general event bus, mainly due to performance. This is important for Angular since you don't want to couple modules together with hardcoded state keys that you may want to alter in different applications.

Flux does offer a way around the eventing problem at a lower level within React components, but on a higher level, there is no application level of control - you have to construct exactly the control you want, which while liberating, also is an easy way to create a hole in architecture when designing an application if you're not careful. Angular exposes that problem directly in many ways (for example handling transitions between two urls in the application), as well as forces thinking about module dependencies with dependency injection.

HTML mixed in with JS via JSX is also an abomination, that originally made me want to run far away from React when I first looked at it. I'm not a huge fan of it still, but it's not an extremely terrible thing as long as you keep higher level templates slim, which React forces you to do in order not to have huge chunks of HTML mixed in with complex JS...although I'm sure there are developers out there who do it anyway (just like there are plenty of Angular developers who will toss plenty of jQuery in an Angular controller).
Sorry, it's not public and I would probably get run out of town for basing it largely on jQuery and Handlebars. (It is fast though) It looks very similar to swagger.io except everything is expanded by default and I put a very basic js search capability that filters endpoints.
I believe you are correct, mainly because the basic purpose of the protocol is "no parsing", so therefore it must work when loaded directly into RAM.

The spec is a bit confusing though, because of the statement that "Strings are simply a vector of bytes". The way I understand it is that a string is a vector FOLLOWED BY a null terminator. The spec should probably say that rather than the current wording.

This would appear to be necessary so that a string can be treated as either a vector like any other (with the correct number of elements) and can also be accessed directly by a (char *) pointer without things going awry.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the whole spec yet; this is my off-the-top-of-my-head interpretation and I may have misunderstood it completely.
Couldn't thus ruling be applied to any tablet or smartphone being sold as well? Although are there any alternative OSs to run on an iPhone, for example (maybe this doesn't matter)? And does iOS have a price in this context?

Just start writing the parser/compiler/interpreter for your
language, today. You will quickly learn what you need,
tokenizer/lexer, some way to represent the AST, how to represent
types (if you have any), etc. Later start looking at the
literature to see how "its really done". I find this approach
takes more time perhaps but I have a much better appreciation for
what I am reading afterwards (Oh that's why they did X!).
not sure if this is just a joke but if it's half in ernest, I've seen a few people die in their 50's from lung camcer. I think when you're in your fifties you'd still have 15 good years or so. Maybe more.

I'm in agreement with your point, but... if 'the market' wants angular... 'the market' is going to have a hell of a time dealing with a mess in a couple of years when many of the decision makers that mandated angular move on to something else and leave piles of mess behind for someone else to clean up.

Sure, but producing quality video content and code samples in addition to a quality book adds even more time to an already long process. A discussion forum or mailing list implies continuous effort in engaging with your audience. Not quite the passive income the original poster wants.

That's not even taking into account the fact that to produce such content the person has to be a (recognized especially if you don't have the marketing budget of large publishers) expert in a niche area. Such a person can presumably already make decent money as a consultant.

Being a consultant and a content producer is not mutually exclusive of course, but it's not quite the easy income I sense the original poster is looking for.
If someone's sending spam, sure. I didn't say a single thing about sending spam, however. I send mail to 200,000 subscribers who double opted in and want to receive the mail :-)
The 7 minute workout is for people who want to feel like they are working out with minimal effort. It's kind of ridiculous. I tried this for a few weeks 4 times a week and saw/felt almost no benefit. Then I upped it to a 30 minute workout using the same set of exercises and saw quite a bit of progress.

That's really the difference. You need your heart-rate pumping for 30 minutes to really see benefits from this, not for 7 minutes. I doubt any "scientific" claims that 7 minutes a few times a week is all the exercise someone needs.

At the very least double it. Do 14 minutes. I remember trying this while out of shape (hadn't done any intense exercise in months) and with 7 minutes I barely broke a sweat. Unless you're morbidly obese you need to do more than this.

If you really want a god exercise buy some weights or go to the gym. Moving around really heavy objects for 30 - 45 minutes is the best bang for your buck workout you can get.
They're not junking my mails anymore because I'm not stupid enough to include bit.ly links ;-) However, clicks are still tracked in the majority of non-personal email nowadays, mostly using the click tracking provided by the large mail service providers, it's just not bit.ly.

Writing and editing and publishing and promoting a book, even a short one, is a difficult thing. It's one of the hardest things I've ever willingly done. That said, it's been one of the most rewarding projects I've ever undertaken, both financially and for consulting and contracting prospects.

The sibling replies are mostly a load of bollocks. E-mail based publishers track clicks anyway through much better means, such as Mailchimp's click tracking - no reputable sender needs to use bit.ly to track stuff.

The reason bit.ly links can end up in mails is if third parties want to track clicks separate from the sender and the sender isn't smart enough to catch it. For example, people who want to include a job listing or some sort of sponsorship or advert in your mail. They'll often use bit.ly, simply because it works fine on Twitter, without realizing it's not a great idea in mail.

That point is worth making.

Sociological issues among established Wikipedia editors do contribute do lower retention of desirable new editors, but like Animats I suspect Wikipedia's comprehensive coverage is a significant factor (perhaps more so). It's simply less appealing to do curatorial work than to make large additions to major articles like "Genetics" or "France".

Which factor contributes more to Wikipedia's active editors drop-off, sociological issues or encyclopedic completeness? Has anyone looked at that? I'd be interested to see an analysis of how the trends in the notorious graph at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Enwp_retention_vs_act... correlate with word count and reference count in important articles.

Looks like your learning is still valid for another couple years - this isn't being released any time soon, and in fact won't run in most of today's browsers.

Two years in internet-time is a long time! For all you know, civilisation as we know it will have ceased by then.
Every large opinionated framework is "overblown" (aka "scary") until you actually take the time to learn it and code a few large non-trivial projects with it. I've learnt more MVC frameworks than you can shake a stick at and Angular is hands down one of the best. Once you're comfortable with it you can fly and code things so quickly and cleanly, and it scales well into complex apps too. Angular is largely designed the way it is to promote small, encapsulated, testable components. But if you're not practising TDD, or don't test your code at all, (which I suspect is the case for many of the framework's detractors) then it possibly is somewhat over architected - by all means pick a simpler framework, but don't knock it from a position of ignorance.
Texts says it's Cross-Platform, and even has a (misleading) picture of Tux in the same page, yet no Linux version whatsoever?
How exactly "PEGs are rather inexpressive"? Still the same BNF, with some nice bells and whistles added. As for the left recursion, it's not a big deal. You mostly need left recursion for the binary expressions, and they are much better served by a Pratt parsing (which is trivial to mix with Packrat anyway).

I moved to PEG+Pratt exclusively and never needed anything beyond that, for even craziest grammars imaginable.
I also like going back to them occasionally and realizing I could buy everything on my wishlist for $1000 or whatever. I still don't though :-)

I never could effectively read and process comics without a lot of effort -- something about transitioning the brain rapidly between text and image processing. I guess my left brain and right brain can't function in parallel (I'm sure there is a name for this "condition").

But back to the question, I've heard from people who enjoy comics that Girl Genius is fairly good -- there is a good write up on it on http://www.quadibloc.com/other/anoint.htm

(BTW, this guys home page has a huge treasure trove of random knowledge -- worth exploring a bit more).
For them to invest serious resources into a Mono fork and also in a proprietary solution (il2cpp) shows that they do not believe in a deal for a license of their liking, whatever the reasons: interpersonal or purely monetary.
I think it's hilarious how javascript frameworks are beginning to resemble java frameworks. This new release is really starting to look like Spring, including annotations. The increasingly complex DI is also looking like Spring.
The comic version of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was great, it's the same text as the novel but an excellent experience. Sandman and Watchmen are general must-reads if you haven't gotten to those yet.
Again, the only people 7 minutes of essentially cardio is going to benefit are people who are insanely out of shape. The second you're just in "ok" shape is the second 7 minutes is basically worthless to to you.

I really hate that this 7 minute workout thing is becoming a trend. It's misleading in its benefits. If everyone writing or talking about it wants to clarify and say it's only beneficial for people who are dangerously out of shape, fine, but otherwise it's stupid. Workout for 30 minutes. Please.

We're not saying Angular's bad, just that React's approach is better :) I've tested both (and quite a few other MVVM libraries actually) before I came to this conclusion.

Of course, I gain nothing by someone choosing Angular over React or vice versa. I'm just sharing my experience and leaving them to make their own choice.
The health benefits of any strength training program aren't going to be exactly mindblowing. The biggest mortality factor you can hope to improve on using exercise is cardiovascular health, and strength training does little here.

Yeah, signed up a long time ago and I never saw any drawbacks and it didn't cost me anything. I did initially get Hertz Gold through work but was free to use it privately. I signed up for the other ones myself.
It really just depends what you're training for. In running, for example, Usain Bolt probably doesn't run more than about 15-20 miles per week, but Mo Farah does about 115-120. This "problem" is the same reason BMI is a stupid gauge of health ... unless you're in the fat part (no pun intended) of the bell curve. I'm primarily a runner and my daily runs are in the 50-60 minute range, with short speed workouts and longer, slower long runs, but I augment with bodyweight core & swimming during the week, too (and indoor cycling in the winter). But my goals are not at all the same as yours or anyone else's, so ymmv.
