I've seen several companies where analysis like this would be for management only. I guess it's just human nature to want to sweep mistakes and accidents under the rug, but it does also speak volumes about the culture in such companies. Kudos to Microsoft and every other big player that communicates these things.

Congrats FarmLogs team!

Q1: Does the data you collect include weather/atmosphere data?

Q2: Does your system inform the equipment/farms of the weather forecast? Or, will it?

I am building high-accuracy weather forecast systems using connected sensor networks; maybe you'd like to chat?

"These Virtual Machines were recreated by repeating the VM provisioning step. Linux Virtual Machines were not affected."

So Azure supports Linux VMs?! Microsoft does so little Azure advertising that I had to learn this fact from their RCA. Apparently they do support it since 2012: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/micro... but it is likely that many non-users of Azure do not know this.
At first, I was confused. "Oranges vs. Apples!". But then, I saw the file size. I understand the article as in if you use Angular in your app, you shouldn't be also using jQuery. It is also a good way to introduce Angular to someone that has experience with jQuery. That being said, "orange vs. apples".

Does the motorola RAZR V3 really cost $300? Also, it certainly isn't a smartphone. Other than that I really like this chart.
As a larger cigar smoker. This is largely marketing from non-Cuban companies. While a lot of Caribbean tobacco is very very good, Cubans are the best without question. And this isn't so much like wine where experts fail to recognize quality in double blinds. A proper cuban cigar has a very distinct veining pattern, and far more almost oily texture. You can tell by touch alone with little training.

Seasoned critics can name the nationality of a cigar just by touch its actually very cool to see (I'm nowhere near that good lol a few different countries are too similar for me).

And the "golden age" of Cuban cigars is often cited as before WW2 so either way its long pasted.
Even if it is critical for some, for me it feels exactly how open source works: someone uses an application in a way that was not intented or thought about. And it turns out, that there is a problem with that approach. Someone will blog about it, write a bug ticket or send a pull request. And gone is the problem and the application got better. That's applied wisdom of the crowd.
economics is not a zero-sum operation, though, if two people exchange money for a service or good it is only because a person values the service or good more than the money, or vice versa.

Moreover, in order to wield money as a form of power you have to be willing to give it away. This is not necessarily true of the other types of power.
I've been using xmonad for ... well, guess it's been the past 3 years now. Never had to change the config or adapt to API changes as I had with LUA and things just work. Plus, it's quite performant (although it has some input-looping related quirks sometimes) and hardly takes up any memory.
Can only recommend it to people new to the tiling wm scene.

Congrats, nice to see entrepreneurs in A^2.
It's hard to argue against tip bots if you look at Dogecoin. Everything charitable, everything unique, everything that got them in the news was because they nailed tipping.
Thanks for clearing up the use case. I can now understand how it is completely different in use than a Kafka/Storm implementation. The reference implementations seem intriguing with the example of a real time ad network marketplace.
Obama: every black man my age has been mistaken for a valet – including me
Most tips I see are not "fractions of a penny" but rather the standard seems to be 1000 bits which is like 32 cents. I often see people tip a dollar or more.

Secondly, I can never understand why some people get so offended by someone giving them a small amount of money. When you go to the coffee shop to buy a $2.40 coffee and are given $0.60 in change are you insulted by the cashier for thinking you needed that 60 cents?
Agreed in concept, but you can get similar if not greater productivity gains from stacking/floating WMs that let you move and resize windows into a tiling-like configuration. Examples are goomwwm and subtle.

This "manual tiling" approach is also probably the only viable option for tiling-like window management on OS X. While not nearly as powerful or productivity-promoting as the above-mentioned WMs or conventional tiling ones, the OS X program Spectacle (http://spectacleapp.com) makes life a lot easier on OS X for those of us who are used to the screen real estate and keyboard control afforded by tiling WMs.

Edit: Another commenter mentioned the non-free Optimal Layout (http://most-advantageous.com/optimal-layout) for OS X. I haven't downloaded the trial yet, but the website makes it look very promising.
What about Amethyst didn't fit your requirements? I know it's still buggy, I'm just curious if there's any specific ones or if it's just generally not useful to you.

This analysis is a little off-- Cuba has received only symbolic support from Russia since the fall of the USSR. However, dynamics in the oil market are significant for Venezuela, their chief ally (and main supplier of energy resources!).

You were lucky. I also almost failed school, 7th grade when they introduced a mandatory handwriting class. As a remedial project, I had to spend that summer copying down encyclopedia pages in cursive, instead of working on my programming projects. My fine motor skills are great though, I just dislike handwriting with a passion.
As soon as I figure out how to do that. But I need only minimal functionality, so I don't expect it to be _too_ difficult. I figured I should start with the Weston shell and figure it out from there.
In san francisco i've been making $40/hr gross (but I expect it to average out to $30-35. My n=3 days, which are all in december and have been amazing because it's rainy), with a cost per hour of about $5-10 and that is an overestimate. Expenses here are very low. I don't count depreciation because my car had 90k miles on it to start (but it's not a clunker! I've maintained it very well).
While I'm not a fan of Steve Jobs on account of him being a dick, I think he was right too often to just call it a 'lucky guess'. OSX, the MacBook, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad were all hugely successful. I don't think luck can get you that far.

Like I said; I didn't mean that you, or necessarily people in general, use the appeal in a fallacious way. But it was my fault for not making that clear to begin with.

This is a general note, not thinking of any post or argument in particular: I can hardly count the number of times people who advocate Go will bring up the fact that people like Rob Pike and Ken Thompson are or have been involved in the project, and how smart they are and even 'how can I even question their work, given their skill and talent'.

Those are the assembler macros ("procs" in UNIVAC terminology) for calling the functions previously linked.

Semaphores make a lot more sense if you know their literal translation of the Spanish word "semaforo", which is a "signal". It's also used in Spanish to describe a traffic light.
I attended a liberal arts college, and enjoyed the courses that I took in most subjects. I got good grades. I'm still interested in many of the topics gathered under the umbrella of "humanities."

But it strikes me that "humanities students become analytical thinkers" is as much of a meme as "humanities students become baristas," at least in the absence of supporting evidence.

It could be true, and to some extent is anecdotally supported by those among my acquaintances who studied in the humanities, but that could be just a matter of survivor bias. We don't hear from the ones who didn't become analytical thinkers, or we associate them with their terminal degrees, such as MBAs.
Am I missing something? While there does not seem to be a reason to allow CSRF here, doesn't the fact that you need to have a client Id and client secret for the oath endpoint make it so that this is a non-issue?

I don't see a way to get the access token without having the client ID and client secret.
There are lot's of different projects internally. You have to remember that the cuban people does not have direct internet access, so is harder for Cubans to distribute their open source projects.

Are you serious? Imagine if you are a programmer but your computer takes an obscene amount of maintenance (like a car: tires, oil changes, preventative maintenance) to keep it running so that you can keep freelancing as a programmer. If you didn't factor this into your costs of being a "freelancer" you would be an idiot.

The US embargo -- and the palpable external target it presents -- is a major source of the longevity of the Castro regime (and the longevity of the regime itself motivates the maintenance of the embargo), so in a very real sense all of the misery resulting from the regime also can be blamed on the embargo, and vice versa. They aren't independent factors.
> Cuba is an indescribably weird place where almost everybody is (on paper anyways) poor, yet education, health care and the arts flourish. Violent crime is virtually unheard of

I grew up in the Eastern Bloc, I was in college when the revolutions happened. Now I live in the US.

When I describe the life under communists to people who grew up here, I mention, of course, the lack of political freedom, the demagoguery, etc. But then I say things like "OTOH unemployment was zero, health care was free (\), college was free, and everyone was sure to receive a livable pension from the state when they retired." Oh, and there was a decline and clear commercialization of the arts immediately after revolution.

Then everyone gives me odd looks.

It's like they expect a tale of Aragorn vs. Mordor, with clear heroes and villains. It's not like that. Life in the US is clearly better overall, but there are some interesting points to be learned from the ol'country too. Not kicking the destitute to the curb seems the most important.

kwin is working on this. They ripped the tiling logic from the core somewhat recently but I believe they either added it back as an addon, or are in the process of doing so. You can email their ML for more info.

> 2. The stated goal of ChangeTip, as seen in their videos and materials, is to replace advertising and other indirect ways of monetizing content with a way to directly express support for creators.

Then they will run into the same fundamental problem everyone else who has tried this did: the current Bitcoin implementation cannot handle the transaction volumes required to make this viable. This is the elephant in the room with decentralized currencies, and nobody's come up with a good solution yet.

Advertising rates for content will eventually stabilize. If the ad rates for content don't make it worth producing, people would stop producing it. Consumer content microtransactions simply aren't going to happen at any scale: it doesn't matter how low the cost is, any time you attach a marginal cost to an activity, you make them aware of the value proposition and the fact that there's a transaction happening. Mere awareness of a transaction is too much friction when you're talking about fractions of a cent. Counting half-pennies is just not worth my time (ironically, half a penny is in the same ballpark of current advertising rates).
Good thing the smart are incorruptible by power. Oh, wait.
I don't understand how Americans can take all that as if it was normal.
Yeah, generally the Wikidata folk are taking things quite slowly. Start slow and get simple things right. The software is evolving slowly too.

I'm quietly confident that it might all work out, but it is a bit too early to tell.
What do you think of our startup?
Usually those implementations redirect the user to a separate authentication system. OAuth2 only handles authorization and not authentication. Upon successful authentication, the user gets redirected back to the OAuth2 request which then generates the authorization code.

When the user is already logged in via a cookie set by the authentication system (i.e. an existing valid session), they don't get prompted for a password again; the authentication system will simply redirect to the OAuth2 request url. The typical OAuth2 implementations shouldn't be reading the authentication cookies directly.

The "password flow" in OAuth2 is really a special case for those who want to bypass the separate authentication system and use OAuth2 directly for both authentication and authorization.
> my point is that significant trade doesn't necessarily trickle down to the poorest

Nothing trickles down to the poorest, spontaneously, almost anywhere in the world.
> Medical personnel?

Cuba actually has an incredible socialized medicine healthcare system, and the US embargo specifically carves out an exception for cancer pharmaceuticals developed and manufactured there. Its not that far fetched that you would see medical tourism take off from Florida with its vast retiree population.

If I were in the travel business in Florida, I'd start advertising now to get your name out there, and fly to Havana to have a conversation with Raúl Castro about how much yearly revenue you could be bringing in (all in USD I might add). About $39 billion/year is spent in Florida on Medicare; taking only a small piece of that is an incredible proposition for a country the size of Cuba.

Wozniak was happy to tinker and "just be an engineer at HP". Jobs pushed him to create something that could be marketed and made Woz rich.
Having said that, I'd add my vote to i3wm, as it isn't as ideologically pure as some others (you still have window titles if you want them, and the layout remains somewhat manual). Plus a rather readable configuration format, even if the default configuration is seemingly intended to drive vi-users mad.

I like i3 a lot, but even as an Emacs user the first thing I did was to change the focus key bindings to something vi-like. Using JKL; instead of HJKL on anything meant for Unix users just seems devilishly perverse.
This doesn't sound great, what about all the tree dwelling critters that would be unable to hide or sleep?
I don't understand. The comparison breaks down in the very first example - where is the example of Angular's excellent DOM abstraction and compatibility magic?

"And then I refactored something that was bad to make it faster."

There's also a typo in the jQuery example.

There's no comparison. jQuery provides way more for actual DOM magic than Angular does.

> As I have outlined in this article, AngularJS can do everything that jQuery does and much more...

But you didn't. You didn't even provide an Angular implementation of your very first example.
The title of the Bloomberg article "Cuba’s Half Century of Isolation to End" perpetuates a major misconception for US citizens. Cuba isn't isolated from the rest of the world (in the manner that North Korea is) -- it's just the US and Cuba. The island is fully connected as a tourist destination for Canadians, Latin Americans, and Europeans and they import consumer goods from Korea, China, Vietnam, etc. There are major differences (e.g. the military apparatus has controlling interests in nearly all business ventures, including those with foreign firms) but "isolation" is a pretty inaccurate characterization.
I think you missed that fpgeek was turning exDM69's comment around on itself to put goto and spinlock into the same category.

JQuery vs AngularJS comparison is reasonable because many developers will know JQuery and wonder what that new AngularJS thing offers them. That's why the following epic stackoverflow answer has 6000+ upvotes:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14994391/thinking-in-angu...

Also, bloggers will often compare them as the following article does (HN discussed it previously):

http://okmaya.com/2014/03/12/the-reason-angular-js-will-fail...

So yes, JQuery vs AngularJS is like comparing apples & oranges but one way to reach the understanding of why it's apples and oranges is to explicitly compare them!

While many line-item features of AngularJS and JQuery do not overlap, they do overlap in devs' mindshare to program a web page. Hence, the comparisons will continue.
I too backed this project! Disappointed by the output, but still happy to see it reach production.
Ask HN: I'm a solo junior dev, what should i focus on?
I'm a junior dev working for freelance clients and working on my own projects. I've noticed that in the recent couple of months, I've not progressed as well as I hoped I would.

Yes, I gained experience and whenever I'm going to work with framework x again, I'll be a lot quicker. However, I don't have full insight in the tradeoffs that I'm making when chosing a certain architecture for example. I'll just code what seems logical in my head, and build further upon that.

I'm mostly coding in OO languages. Should I focus on programming concepts? Should I dive deeper into API methods?

Also, Since I'm able to 'build', there's the fact that spending more time on figuring out what approach is best, I'm developing on a lower pace.

This is interesting research, for sure, but the headline's claim that it "changes our DNA" is misleading. The genes are not changed, only markers that have unknown effects on their expression. Learning more about the mechanisms of how DNA interacts with our body is certainly exciting, but the implication of the headline is that our actual genetic code is being tweaked, which is not true at all.

Unlike fragrances and clothing, nobody (very few?) chooses their email app based on a personality. The celebrity link is just too vague; it isn't "Marissa Mayer's Yahoo!", it's just Yahoo!. Even if it was, millions more people look up to Kim K or Paris H.

Also, the investment is way too high to be celeb-driven. It's easy to buy a perfume or a purse or suit or shoes because you like the link to $CELEB. But switching email providers or default search engine? Never happening.
Your perspective is flawed because you are projecting too logical a world view on the opponents of rapprochement, but from an emotionally conservative perspective it's seen as giving up the fight against evil.
Everyone needs a car. If my car breaks down I would likely have to take a sick day to get it to the shop. No one factors that into their pay. I need to wear pants when I go into the office, do I get to allocate pants into my wage?

A car is something almost everyone needs. He's going to end up factoring it into his hourly wage and then getting a car for free.
