There are also issues with Mono on some consoles and mobile devices, due to how linking works as well as some non-technical (legal) restrictions the platform owners place.

From talking to Mono devs, definitely Mono can be ported to new platforms, at least if there are no license problems. But even then, it can be quite a lot of work. il2cpp avoids all those issues, it emits C++ which every significant platform can handle very well.
Also, there's NaCl.

Some Mono games (like Bastion) have already been ported to run on the browser:

(then again, NaCl is not probably what most people have in mind when they think about browser support)
But it's not yet equivalent to Postgres' fulltext
Okay, so I came across a bit strong there, and I apologize for that. Yes, language is fluid, and meanings "flip polarity" all the time ("nonplussed" comes to mind).

Yes, there is ample evidence that it was used to mean "with emphasis, but not in reality" for some time. I was wrong. I was attempting to make a glib remark without much consideration for facts...next time I'll endeavor to either keep my snide commentary to myself, or at least do a bit of fact checking.

...but in the mean time/back to the parent topic, people really should read Phillip K. Dick. He's a fantastic writer and visionary, and uses language far better than I can.
I don't think you can argue that the western ego isn't bruised and battered in recent times. There have been a lot of false starts in the past 20 years where we were hopeful western ideas would take hold in places where they haven't:

- Fall of the USSR, and what appears to be its rise again

- Arab spring turning into unstable nation states, instead of nice representative democracies

- Iraq

- Afghanistan (time will tell)

Then again, this article ignores the swelling middle class in a lot of southeast Asia. And also, conflict exists everywhere and is often a defining characteristic for nations. For example, the author didn't seem to have a true grasp of American history. The most important war we've ever fought was with ourselves, turning us from a loose collection of states into a single nation-state. Why is it surprising that other countries are going through that on their own watch?
The comments here and a moments worth of overhearing the details of conversations held at any of the employers of coders can attest.

It is not for historical reasons, it is for the reek of sexism and "gamma males" trying to assert themselves as men in the absence of "betas" and "alphas" and failing miserably.
My thought on the hack was submitting a BitCoin post to HN with the title Elon talks about Tesla and SpaceX :-)

My guess was that they paused after watching the part about SpaceX and Tesla, opened up share, cut and pasted the URL, not realizing that the video would start after the discussion and instead just be the part about Bitcoin and Paypal. Perhaps I am to easily amused.
In my experience, data issues aren't taken seriously at all, before you want to talk about where the responsibility of having accurate data lies.

It took 3-4 months to maybe fix an issue I repeatedly reported about Maps thinking that a location was in the middle of a highway. Yesterday I checked that the suggested route was correct but Maps decided to reroute to the "shortcut" when I was nearing the destination. Depending on how you enter the destination (direct address vs search bar result) it's iffy.

The address is a 6 month old hospital and ER. The first time I routed there to go to the ER my eyes almost popped out of my head at the suggestion of a 2-3 mile detour by getting back on the freeway. Later on I looked at Yelp and saw a reviewer talking about how they took that detour by accident on their way to the ER too. I hope this stupidity didn't end up hurting anyone seriously.
it's the 'ol Cypher talking about liking steak in the matrix .. scary.
Looks like this BEKANT line is the successor to the Galant (which is my favorite office desk ever for its complete simplicity -- personally not a big fan of keyboard trays, etc -- just give me a nice flat surface with easy height adjustability).

I'll have to check this out next time I'm in an Ikea to get a sense of how sturdy it seems but if it is as simply durable as the Galant desks I've had I'll be really tempted to pick one of these up.

$500 is at once a crazy low price for a sit/stand desk relative to what else is out there, but also a reasonable price for such a thing relative to parts+marketing+modest markup (most of this market is highly overpriced corporate "office furniture", the enterprise software of furniture).

I'll add it to the FAQ, but a variation is already there:

You should be able to make this work on any platform where Mono and Unreal Engine work together.
myYearbook.com didn't make it out either ):
I really wish browsers supported the second attribute of attr(). None do.
Yes, I think those benchmarks are based on the Mono they use, which is indeed old. I would be very curious to see benchmarks compared to trunk Mono - should be interesting.

My information may be out of date, but typically people tell me that Mono tends to not match Microsoft's .NET implementation in speed, and in turn, .NET tends to not match native C++ either. So I would still guess il2cpp can win here. Or are there benchmarks showing Mono matches .NET and/or native C++?

Law, medicine and natural sciences are very different than computer science (plus the latter two are graduate degrees). I'd like to see the same graph but with applied mathematics and physics added.

That space is of trivial importance compared to limited road space. Roads need to be used as efficiently as possible, as there's only so much asphalt/concrete between two points.

As the developer of Cursive, I'm really thrilled to see so many people using it a year after the first beta release - thanks everyone for all the great support!

It's great to see more people responding than last year, and a higher percentage using it at work, too. The Clojure ecosystem is a really nice place to be right now.
It's disappointing seeing how TestFlight has been integrated into iTunes Connect. What mostly upsets me is the seemingly arbitrary review before the app is released to testers. It's exactly this kind of a delay ("several hours") that keeps me from using Google Play for Android app beta & alpha testing.

I end up with tight deadlines and my testers include clients & superiors. I can't afford a variable chunk of time between app compilation and release to testers. I've had really good experiences with Crashlytics and have heard good things about Hockeyapp. I'll stick with 3rd party distribution for the forseeable future.
This may help a bit (from a previous HN thread)

Generally speaking, those that are likely to take advantage of various programs by themselves have already done so. They aren't a big secret or anything. A visit to the local Social Security office is about all it takes to get connected. Maybe the VA if your military. It can take a day or so, and be a real PITA, but nothing that's super hard to manage. So the people who don't get in these programs are mostly, for whatever reason,the types that don't want to go.

It's hard to say, because it's an emotional thing, not a rational thing, but I think of it as two broad categories of resistance... I tend think of them as "structure" and "content"[1].

Some people have physical, structural problems with their brains -- they had a serious brain injury, a concussion, or stroke, or something; and they are functional enough to stay out of prison or not cause obvious problems, but their brain is shot or they just can't get themselves to focus for long enough to make any real headway with getting help on their own. I'd bet some just have ADHD, or some other organic/structural problem with their brain.

Many of seem to have had a bad childhood, or a real bad experience at some point, and it left them feeling so poorly about themselves that they just expect the world to crap on them, like there is nothing they can do about it. They might descend into depression, or addiction, or spin off into some fantasy world, or deal with it in some other destructive way. I've noticed that the earlier things went wrong then the worse the effects seem to be, but this is strongly dependent on the person and what actually happened, and their current environment that it's hard to say anything useful.

So that's how I think about it, but what I do is to try to gently push people in the direction of getting help and making their life better, sometimes hold their hands, and not worry too much about who it is or their current situation in life. Sometimes I'm better than others, and I'm better with some people than others, so I don't beat myself up if I can't really help.

[1] Just to get a little philosophical - they aren't really separate, just a useful way of thinking about what's going on. I'm a Buddhist, and the structure/content idea helps me to see how my own mind works. For example, if I drink a lot of coffee and get really cranked up -- that's more of a physical/structural explanation of why I experience the world a certain way. If I have certain thoughts ("I'll never get this damn code right", or "my life is crap") then that leads me to experience the world a certain way -- neither mean the world actually is that way.
The quick answer is simply: don't do it. When one fails, it will impact the other. If one fails, you may not be able to untangle the other...

Yes it's disturbing, again I'm no mind reader, but I guess they assume when you opt-out they just don't map your UID. Meanwhile you're still trackable and just one small data point could be used to reverse everything you visit.

As an example if you sign up for some random blog and they capture UID's they could quickly map your email to your UID and onward into the spiral we go.

IP Addresses are a similar problem for home users, nobody seemed to have noticed that quite some time ago ISP's started making DHCP lease times quite long. Not to put on a tin foil hat, but I assume this was done more strategically then just to reduce load on DHCP servers in their networks.

If China wants to give us some free money for a while, I'm not too concerned. We can start these companies back up faster next time and anyone concerned with a temporary future price increase can either pay a premium to keep some of these companies going, or stockpile the metals.
Thanks for doing this! Can I ask a favor? Could you put today's date on the first or cover page, and a small warning that the content may be out of date, and the reader should check https://ssd.eff.org/ if they can?

We plan on doing a static, offline version of SSD soon, but we want to make sure that we can convey to its readers that its contents can become inaccurate very quickly. The wording on the Web site does not always convey this, because we expect to update it regularly.

Thanks again! - danny@eff
Ask HN: Best salary negotiation tip?
I'm graduating this year and an anticipating negotiating my salary, wherever I end up. There's a lot of stuff out there about how to do that and I have some ideas about how I'll go about it but I think when I get into that situation I probably won't remember most of the "techniques" or tips that I've read. What one tip would you say is most important to you?

If you're good enough at building things and selling yourself to successfully start a startup, you're also good enough to get a high-paying job. Easily 2x or 3x the median salary for your area.

Do that, and then live a median lifestyle. You can save a year's living expenses every year you're working. In five years you can have a five year runway.
This is bullshit. You shouldn't have to "opt out" of tracking in the first fucking place.

It does cherry pick from Huxley to make the point. There's little uptake of genetically engineered class systems in modern society, for example. Regardless, I think that between the two texts, 1984 is by far the closest to our reality. Not here, of course, but in North Korea. No western country can be drawn as either without some major overreaches.

"Perfect competition" can only exist in the long term. In the short term, there are start up costs and new improvements. With perfect competition, if you are making a profit someone will come along and undercut you, but that takes time, capital, skill, and luck.

Monism has a very well-defined meaning in philosophy. Monism does not mean "there is only one supreme being"; that's monotheism. Monism might imply monotheism, but I'd have to think about that as it doesn't seem trivial to conclude.

The distinction is grounded in logic, per Spinoza (and later Leibnitz, who was also a monist and wrote the famous Monadology).

I don't mean to sound dismissive, but it really sounds like you need to do some serious reading to gain some domain knowledge before jumping in this kind of discussion. You can start by looking at the SEP page: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monism/

My review of Inbox, based on about 4 hours of use:

#. I hate Bundles. I rarely if ever have more than 5 emails in my inbox. Hiding things from me is counterproductive.

#. WAY too bright and big. Regular gmail fits 3x as much information in the same space, and I was already unhappy with how bright and big regular gmail is.

#. Love snooze. I've been using boomerang for ages.

#. No idea where the compose-suggestions are coming from; they're for people I haven't communicated with since before gmail even came out.

#. In general, just feels very clunky compared to Gmail.
The US is big exception here, and the supposed inverse relation between sexual liberty and incarceration rates evaporates when you look at the bigger picture. Western European countries are arguably more liberal in this area (take a look through what is acceptable in advertising, for one example) and have much lower prison rates than the US, at least.

For a larger corporate, ~$1,800 is very reasonable.

Xamarin have a tough line to walk - larger companies will happily pay that price, while still being reasonable for indie developers.

Xamarin support is excellent - their forums, twitter etc. I haven't worked with a vendor before that has been that helpful. Xamarin need to cover their costs.

I've been using Xamarin Studio for a while now for both iOS & Android and its fine.

While true, it's a pretty uniquely American problem. Not many other countries even allow for prescription medicine to be advertised to consumers.
Here the articles points to childhood experiences with hardware, commodore 64s, etc. However, i think this is absolutely nonsense. Now, many people go into college with little idea of what they want to do. Perhaps this is a result of the expansion of college from building a unique skilled career path, to simply being expected.

When talking about demographics and college degrees, i think popular culture is certainly relevant. We are talking about high school and college freshmen discovering themselves. Thus, i'd like to point out that 1984 is the same year the film Revenge of the Nerds came out.

Thus, i'll throw out the hypothesis that, since 80's popular culture was a very regressive era in terms of anti-intellectualism, desire to enter STEM probably took a serious hit at the time in general, much more so with women. That is not to say that previous generations were much better, but gone were the days where the space race inspired tons of kids to pursue STEM education regardless of gender.
You know, now that I think of it, I had a friend in college years ago who (previous to college) was a homeless single mom. She got on a program in California that paid her rent for a few years while she went to school. I'm not sure if it was part of Social Security or not, but I seem to remember it was a state program.

I think there are better programs, in general, for single moms and/or abused women, but I don't know much about that.

So she'd be an example of someone who took advantage of a program and was helped, but I don't think she's a good fit when people are talking about street-feeding the homeless. She was highly motivated to do something about her life. because of her kid, and didn't need much pushing to get onto a program.

Usually, "CSS-only" articles and repos are either technically impressive, or clever solutions for production environment problems.

Considering attribute selectors have been around for a while, I fail to see a decent use case. Any progress bar or 2-dimensional chart of this kind needs to be generated dynamically, either through the backend or frontend, same thing. In this case, they're inserted as data attribute values. What's the difference with using inline style attributes (left: 10%; width: 90%)? They're generated automatically, so verbosity is not an issue. And you'd save yourself 1200 lines of CSS.

What about flexibility? CSS provides the ability to style each of the 400 options differently, right? Well using a "x24 y78" CSS class would be as simple. But in the end, you only want to give different height/width bottom/left values. The styling remains unchanged.

Writing every possible option of a dynamically generated chart into a static CSS file, just for the sake of "Simplicity" and "No javascript required" seems like an overkill.

On a side note, anything dealing with percentages instead of pixel values is automatically granted the keyword "Responsive".
How can anyone justify building an iOS-only app when it's only 11% of the market, while Android is 84%?
Treat salary negotiation as trying to solve a problem together, as opposed to trying to get a better figure for yourself. When you can convince your potential employer that it's a problem that you want to work with together, your employer is more likely to want to help solve it.

Also, never give a number first ;)
