You are right, but almost all the GTK applications I know are designed by and for people that use GNOME. The same holds for Qt/KDE.

Could you please post other clean Qt applications? This is not a provocation, just sincere curiosity.

For day-to-day stuff, it's pretty tough to beat Android's Google account integration out of the box. I don't feel a pressing need to "leave Google's claws". This question would make more sense if there was a more clearly defined, well-motivated goal.
I've grown kind of tired of these sorts of posts, where people assume that OSS means handling the community exactly the way you prefer.

Does it have an OSS license? Do they adhere to it in practice? If so, then your complaint isn't one of OSS, but rather community politics.

Nobody is going to walk on it naked. The conditions on the comet are amazing compared to the ISS, which is currently supporting life.

The comet has everything you need, water, organic material, shielding from radiation, decent size, raw material, energy.
Even earlier, display: table was part of the original CSS Level 2 which became a REC in 1998 — twelve years before "responsive design" came into being. It largely followed what had been added to HTML 3.2 in January 1997 — based on what most browsers (with Netscape first) in 1996.

There's also a lot of unwillingness to do much around display: table — it remains largely unspecified (mostly because we basically know web compatibility requires you to do what IE6 does — and nobody knows quite what that is, and MS people have struggled to get permission to disclose the detail).
If you make it listen on 127.0.0.1 only, you'll only be able to connect to it from a shell on the local machine, which will alleviate all of your security issues.
What was the most interesting, involved, or realistic question you dealt with on HackerRank?

If you were a hiring manager, how big a difference would HackerRank make for you? Would you put more weight on the online Q&A, or more weight on in-person interviews?

(If you keep answering me, I'll keep coming up with more questions, because I am not kidding I seriously nerd out on this stuff).

Many continuous and real-time thanks.

This is true, but if you're using GSM you have a much beefier processor handling the GSM side and there's no need to use a tiny microcontroller. Some of the GSM modules will offload the whole HTTP(S) request for you.

Edit: or you could get a Cortex-M0 with 32K RAM for $2.
These people thought a lot about the "look" of the site, but not about the engineering or being effective at e-commerce.

For instance, they use PayPal as a payment system which is the worst choice possible in terms of user experience, particularly now when there are things like Stripe and Square.

Although the images are luscious, they take a long time to load, and if you try to read the "normal" size text, you'll find it hard because of poor contrast against the background and actually defective layout that causes text to overlap.
Kevin Kelly is an opponent of the most optimistic AI researchers. For him to use a title like that is a bit of a concession.

This is the closest you are going to get to something that is more-or-less accurate and that you can accept.

He is reporting that because he has to. Deep learning is not something anyone can dismiss. If Kevin Kelly thought he could downplay the massive importance of deep learning and similar technologies, or say that it wasn't AI, he would.

This is actually a fairly pessimistic article in terms of AI prediction, and yet, that title was absolutely justified.

AI is here and very powerful, and no one can deny it. People can still pretend, however, that it will never have human-like capabilities, or cannot become smarter than us (at least not in _our_ lifetimes). Give it five to ten years, human-like and beyond-human intelligence will be built, Kevin Kelly will be talking to it, and he will have to write an article about how he was wrong about everything (of course he won't admit that much).
I agree. What would be perfect would be if devices with ethernet ports could bridge the network to hdmi-attached devices. I think this is technically a feature of hdmi, and would be a matter of programming for a device maker like oppo to integrate.

What I want, and what I bet a lot of people want, is an ereader for all publishers.

The only difference between an ereader and a tablet today is the display and weight. IIRC it's still some form of Android below. Why can't an ereader have different apps for different storefronts? An Amazon app for their books, a Kobo app, maybe even a Hachette app if we wanted. Though it's not perfect, the idea of reading all books from all publishers, fully legally (no need to strip DRM) on a SINGLE device would be awesome.
Well, we know quite well that if a person were to be only interested in the letter of the law - never the spirit, its interpretation, how it is practices, or how it interacts with other laws - and not interested in any channel of information that isn't blessed by a government representative, that there would be a reductionist bias that misses the broader strokes important to understanding current policy.

For those reading it should be clear that the US 'voluntells' US corporations to provide access to information and keys and to build in key escrow mechanisms through regulatory and financial leverage, through partnerships, contracts and kickbacks, legal pressure, and otherwise.

Tap and trace laws force telecommunications companies to subvert over-the-wire encryption - they can not subvert end-to-end encryption because they do not provide it. However Bush era interpretations of tap-and-trace and pen register laws expanded analog and phone communications to digital media. Skype, for example was fully and willingully subverted (Snowden docs, again) - the end-to-end crypto removed from the original versions of the product.

If one enters into these conversations only wanting to examine single sentences of law and not the legal process/architecture, one fundamentally introduce a bias. That's okay (freedom of speech). But readers beware that they aren't going to be able to get a full story from legal reductionism.

I would just give up on the continuous HR monitoring. I'm not sure of the actual value after having a basis watch for over a year now.

Basis is far worse than fitbit. No API still, and their bluetooth syncing has always been unreliable. I find I don't look at the data because it's locked into their platform, and I don't like how they organize the data in their own app. I want to get a new watch tracker soon, but so much new stuff is coming out now, I'm in a wait and see mode.

Just go for automatic sleep tracking and movement tracking. You wont have your phone with you all the time, so a wrist tracker is ideal.
Seems like two people come into this experience and walk away with completely different expectations. One group are people, for whom camera phones have been their only "camera" and they are amazed at how great the pictures are now. The other group are people who argue the details of a phase detection autofocus in the Canon DSLR and the 51 point field autofocus of the Nikon DSLR and can't believe that the handset makers are allowed to actually call these things 'cameras' in their advertisements. Very little input from the folks in the middle.

I think you underestimate the bast amount of tacit knowledge it takes to write a simple (yet working and correct) 1-5 KLOC program. That itself requires as prerequisite another bast amount of tacit knowledge on how to operate a computer.

It sounds more like you have made the jump from "advanced beginner" to "junior practitioner". That would have been impossible if you did not have a minimum knowledge and skill base to start from.
> They are entirely different sensors, and share nothing at all in common.

I wouldn't say that. The 5s uses the IMX145 and the Nexus 5 uses the IMX179. Both are Sony CMOS arrays.

The 1/3.0 size of the 5s array does enable larger individual photon 'buckets' for better light sensitivity but they're both closely related in terms of contemporary Sony technology.

The faster 5s lens is a key differentiator, I agree. But it is rather outclassed by the the Galaxy S5 and the Xperia Z2 / Z3. No serious Android-using photographer looks much beyond those for a smartphone.

I would say that they haven't.

Irony that I see this question now. I did a month long migration recently to migrate away from all of my Google services to alternate services distributed among.

I started with Chrome to Firefox, followed by Gmail to Outlook, Blogger to Jekyll (i did that before), GDocs to Office Online,

It's only noise if it has no value. A post such as mine would not have to appear too frequently for HN readers who might be having difficulties with such words to understand the problem and correct their writing. Not going after perfect English, few of us could approach that. But I see a few common patterns on HN all the time and nobody takes a second to say "hey buddy, just in case this wasn't clear to you, here's a helpful tip". Some of these are confusing to non-native speakers. When trying to be helpful is frowned-upon what are you left with?

This comment needed to be left alone. No down vote, perhaps an up-vote by the comment writer if s/he found it helpful and that's it.

One of the things that continues to disturb me the most about HN is how thin skinned the community seems to be. It is impossible to consistently offer a contrasting point of view here without down-vote attacks that make your point of view virtually disappear. Mind you, this particular post isn't that. It just reminds me that HN is really weird.

I get down voted a lot despite the fact that I am a successful entrepreneur since age 15 who has built several companies and continues to do so. My perspective, however, seems seldom welcome here (based on how often I am down-voted) because I don't tow the line of the 20-somethings that are the bulk of this audience. Instead of learning they choose to pound what they don't like out of existence. Weird.

The well-meaning but naive people behind this and other ad-disrupting extensions are doing more than anybody to end the era of general purpose computing. These products (several of which are created by for-profit companies that then extort the ad networks) are slowly killing the desktop web as a viable distribution channel for professionally created content. This is pushing publishers to put more and more of their focus on the mobile space, where their content is trapped in a mobile app that can gather way more data and show unblockable ads.

We'll look back at the 2000's and 2010's as the golden age of the web, when it was economical to publish content for free without relying upon the DRMish guarantees of the major mobile OSes. In five years the desktop web available to general-purpose browsers will be dominated by pay services (Netflix), micro-payment supported sites, NPR-like fund drives (Wikipedia, Internet Archive), academics who don't need to raise revenue, and sites with super-low cost structures due to their reliance on user-generated content (Reddit).
IBM's Synapse/True North chip optimizes interconnect, much like synapses do. It's interesting because it's actually a new silicon process, and already it's low-power.

If it can be used to solve optimization problems, like logic minimization in a compiler, it might actually enable practical 'strong'-type AI. This is because IBM has essentially invented a practical hardware solution to NP-complete problems, where theoretical software solutions don't seem to exist.
Writer friendly comments/documents....

I am guilty of them also. A lot of time after 6 months, 1 year and I go back to the source/document I wrote, I have hard time out my writings.

I think the reasons are a lot of sentences/paragraph we wrote are highly dependent on the contexts of author's mind and the state of that particular moments of developments. It might just make sense within those contexts. When one forgot them or other try to read sentences out of the context, it become very difficult to understand.

I have some documents on power management code related to particular SOC + linux kernel + .ko + user app + pm scripts. They are very hard to understand for myself after a few months.

I don't know the best way to solve this.
You can just crop it if it bothers you. The lenses throw a circle of light, so the farther the aspect ratio gets from 1:1 the more lens you are wasting. What surprised me was the new Blackberry has a square (1:1) screen but doesn't capitalize on it with a 1:1 camera sensor. Probably they couldn't source a decent sensor with that aspect ratio.
Just wondering (as someone who only uses/touches Python indirectly, through some projects that use it, but is not currently a 'Python developer' by any means); was this posted in response to some recent drama in the Django community, or as an argument against Lisp?

I'm just wondering why it seems this story is quickly getting upvoted on the front page of HN, when it seems there are no other frontpage stories remotely related to Django, Reddit, or Lisp?
Since these are all string literals you really don't need any concatenation function at all except to concatenate with the output of getIMEI().

char *a = "Hello " "world!";

Works just fine.

Edit to add: You can really see the difference in code between someone coming to C/C++ from a high level language and someone who learned assembly first, where a list of literals is a common idiom. The original style is not functionally wrong, but it does look like Java :-)

Also: DON'T post your potentially insecure string handling code on the Internet; are you crazy?

definitely. but most people find out they're willing to pay after trying out a bunch of services. and it's always tough to unlist yourself from all the e-mail spam that follows once you've found the service you want to stay with. but I get the argumentation, requiring e-mail on fruji.com for the same reasons.
OneDrive recently increased its maximum supported file size from 2 GB to 10 GB,[+]. To echo other comments in this thread, it's likely that "Unlimited" storage is a rebranding and publicity move because most paid users were not using anywhere near the 1+ TB they had access to anyways. To me, it seems likely that the file size limit could be lifted for similar purposes soon.

Ordered one with the benefit of the Prime discount, don't think I would have done it for $39. At the higher price I'd be inclined to spend twice as much and get another Roku 3.

I'll hook it up to the one display that doesn't currently have a Roku attached. The discount price of $19 seems worth never using the horrible built-in apps on that display again.

That said, my expectations are low - even at $19. Amazon impresses me as uneven and lazy when it comes to everything but their core business.

It's stuff like the original Kindle Fire launching with the awful combination of no parental controls + one-click ordering or the Android Kindle app lacking basic display settings for ages and still lacking a consistent store experience.

Given that, plugging this stick in to find that it too lacks parental controls or runs some outdated or incomplete version of popular app like Netflix or YouTube would not surprise me in the slightest.
I don't think Chrome's behavior of enabling 3rd party cookies by default, burying Do Not Track under "Advanced", and having no Reader Mode functionality make it "better for the consumer."

It's easy to guess that someone searching for "how long is the golden gate bridge" is more likely to be idly curious than in the market for hotels. This is a small loss. But when it comes to choices that affect their core business model, ads rule.

Of course this isn't surprising or even particularly damning. Apple still charges for iPhones, even though free ones are surely better for the consumer. Still, the settings and defaults for Chrome vs (say) Safari speak to the priorities of their authors.

I think you're right about the biggest threat to Google.
Apple Mac OS X CVE-2014-4391 Security Bypass Vulnerability

The Galaxy S5 and iPhone 6 both feature on sensor phase detection. Further it's worth nothing that the whole notion of "n points of autofocus" is a flaw of phase detection, not a feature -- contrast detection has millions of possible points of autofocus. And indeed, most high-end SLRs have contrast-detection modes (e.g. Canon LiveView) that brings benefits that often merit its regular use, and are mandated for things like video mode.

I think you're presenting some sort of knowledge gap that is contrived. I used SLRs for years. I seldom use it anymore because the results of my smartphone, under many normal circumstances, are comparable. This is the case for many people. The camera you have and all of that, and they just keep getting better and better.
Hi, hackerrank founder here. Happy to answer any questions.
Hey, no worries. Real artists ship. :)
I have some advice. Hire a real C programmer. This code is _awful_ and probably full of vulns.
"That's like... your opinion man."

I appreciate a good Lebowski quote, so props on that one. :)

Is my use of "never" a bit much? Ok, fine. Let's dial that back to "rarely." It's rarely a good idea to quit a job without another one lined up. That is true for precisely the reasons you articulate here:

"a narrative pushed by our keepers that doesn't bear out."

So you admit the presence of "keepers," i.e., HR folks and their processes. These keepers exercise a lot of power in the job market, and they stand guard over many (most?) jobs out there. Bad ones and good ones. Most job-seekers will have to deal with their processes when looking for jobs.

"Typically the best places to work have a respect for sabbaticals, leaving toxic work environments, focusing on personal growth etc and that certainly has been the case in my experience, and I'm nobody special."

Sure, but getting into those companies in the first place often involves a resume screen by an HR type. Companies can be amazing, progressive, intellectually stimulating places to work, and still be guarded by a gatekeeper who either isn't equipped for, doesn't care to, or doesn't have the time to mentally process any abnormalities on a resume.

My point isn't so much that gaps on a resume are absolutely and necessarily career-killing. Far from it. Rather, my point is that it's generally a good idea to minimize them. Such as lining up something else before leaving one's current job. Again, this is because the world works a certain way. It's not a "narrative" being "pushed" by anyone. It's the unfortunate reality of the job market. (The effect is magnified at least tenfold for non-developers, too. But that's a different story.)

I realize there are exceptions here. Developers are in incredible demand right now, and can thus afford to do things (such as quitting without a gig lined up) that non-developers usually can't. And then there are the folks who are connected enough to land a job whenever, wherever. I would advise anyone at a job he hates, thinking about quitting, to consider where he falls on these dimensions. Are you the kind of job-seeker who draws a lot of water in this town? If so, great. If not, stay sharp. Look before you leap; that's all I'm saying.
Apparently, the comment depth is exceeded.. You can mail me (id in my profile) and I am happy to discuss it.

Ask HN: What do you use for managing projects?
We build a product which depend on 4 subprojects, and it's quite difficult to track the advancement on all the roadmaps and synchronize them with the future demos.

What can you suggest ? When trello is not enough but MS Project is too big, what's in the between which could help us to focus on the feature in the right order ?
