I always wonder if these "female only" conferences, awards and events are beneficial for women.

Many folks might (mistakenly) see them as an admission that women can't hack it on a level playing field. Such thoughts would only serve to harden their chauvinistic mental models and cause gender discrimination to be more (rather than less) likely in the future.
Heh, sorry for the hyperbole. It did really annoy me though, I was enjoying the piece and that interrupted my enjoyment.

<rant>I could get on board with, say, likening the experience of Bindu Shards to being on acid. But if this has a psychedelic quality, describe it as such. Or better yet, actually describe it. ‘..on acid’ is a bad cliché[1], it doesn’t really mean anything, and it’s so overused, and so blaring, that it doesn’t [for me, anyway] fade away into the background.

[1] this springs to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF2fN4MmMAY

Aaaanyway, the two exhibitions you focussed on look great, I like very much obsessive, meticulously crafted assemblage (e.g. Kienholtz, Cornell, Heartfield). I worry a that I’d be a little underwhelmed by the Freeman & Lowe show. I think any artist attempting what they are has
a key [probably insurmountable] problem: when mapping an expansive vision onto the world at 1:1 scale, practical considerations preclude simply expanding that outwards to any kind of size. Wexler works at a different scale, and his seems a more controlled approach to what is a similar problem. Both look fantastic though, and I love the effort that’s gone into the ethnographic side of the art. [apologies for the somewhat dickish comment]
I'm just going to leave this here:

I don't think this is a fair question. Just because you (or any single person) cannot think of a reason, does not mean that a reason does not exist. It doesn't mean a reason exists, either. The point is - we don't know. It's a question and needs an answer before we draw conclusions.
Looks really weird with the window shadows though.
The Lesson of the Sony Hack: We Should All Jump to the Erasable Internet
That is generally correct. I wrote a longer comment about this but SizeUp is about manually managing windows and Amethyst is about letting software manage windows for you. It's generally a matter of personal preference which you prefer.
League of Lies: In NAIA Football, Nothing Is Quite What It Seems
When I had a linux machine I used i3 and loved it. After moving to OSX I search around for a solution and finally found Amethyst. Gave it a solid try for ~6 months or so but recently have moved to using BetterTouchTool with some custom key shortcuts for moving and resizing windows. I've found this works the best for my workflow. I would love to use a tiling window manager for OSX but in the end found Amethyst to be a little sluggish and, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, buggy for full screen apps. I think ianyh has done an amazing job at working around a system that wasn't meant to be extended in this way, but that puts it at a dis-advantage right off the bat unfortunately.
Announcing the etcd 2.0 Release Candidate
I think an important point here is that at the time the Bill of Rights was written, the language you quoted would protect you from having your private information copied. Because without photographs, video, or digital information, you had to actually physically "search" or "seize" a document in order to make a copy of it. There would be no way of copying a document without first getting access to it which, unless the government had a specific warrant, would have been prohibited by the 4th amendment.

This paper was superseded, in a sense, by two of Dr. Harel's later papers:

The STATEMATE Semantics of Statecharts (1996)[1]

The Rhapsody Semantics of Statecharts (or, On the Executable Core of the UML)[2]

There is also a full-length (out of print) book on the STATEMATE system, which shows how Statecharts can be used used in combination with two other chart types (Activity and Module charts):

Modeling Reactive Systems with Statecharts: The STATEMATE Approach (1998)[3]

With permission of the publisher, the entire book can be downloaded for free from the professor's website[4].

The 1987 paper is worthwhile, but it can be skipped in favor of the more recent papers and the reader won't miss anything essential.

Dr. Harel has also published a detailed history of the development of Statecharts (i.e. the formalism itself):

In the bigger scheme of things, would it be so bad if other countries got their share of the startup pie instead of silicon valley sucking away all the talent? I mean, why shouldn't Canada and India have their shot at prosperity?
Yes. I realize the comment was short and blunt, but the intent behind it was simply to question motivations behind "working for the man" and "doing what brings you joy". I encourage everyone to consider the risks and fears associated with building something new and revolutionary. Sometimes that takes digging deep and facing your fears!
On my system, Duet provides a much better experience than AirDisplay. Working with Apps is very fluid. Videos play back just find. It is not as fast as my MacBook's built in display, but I have to look for any sluggishness.

There are some bugs. My iPad was stuck saying Duet Display was "Launching". I noticed that the MacBook's Display preferences showed the iPad as being in portrait and I had it physically in landscape. Turning the iPad to portrait orientation allowed it to work.

I noticed some issues with windows getting completely cropped off the iPad when dragging between screens.

You should also note that the Duet preferences include changing the frame rate and the resolution, by default these appear to be set to 30 fps and Regular (non-Retina).

UPDATE: seeing a few more visual bugs. For example, the corners of windows have broken corners. I continue to be impressed by the speed performance. Hopefully, we will see bug fixes. (Although with the looming christmas app store review shutdown, that might take a while)
I'd guess the wrench isn't the problem - rather the nut which is in direct contact with the metal screw's edges and bound to fail very soon.

Is it possible to UV-harden the plastic maybe to give it a harder surface?
I use Firefox Tab Groups feature [1] for this use case.

I found this feature by mistake, but I was thinking about something like this. I placed Tab Groups button next to Open New Tab button on the right, so it's accessible.

Keyboard shortcuts:

- Ctrl+Shift+E - show Tab Groups

- Ctrl+Backtick (Tilde) - switch Tab Group

Good thing with this setup is to use Suspend-Tab addon [2] so after few hours tab can unload itself. But it's seems broken now.

I would prefer extension which would suspend javascript execution on not active tabs with option to not suspend selected tabs or white list. But I couldn't find it.

Maybe I will have to write it myself, but I don't know is it possible. Note: 'suspend javascript execution' and not 'disable javascript and reload'.

In Atlas Shrugged she didn't just rail at communism, but also at the use of political "pull" over merit to shape (distort) the economic landscape. That's still very relevant in many domains today, though I think the "Dagney's" of the world (and most hackers and other astute observers) just as easily grasp it then as now.
It's not what they pay, it's what they get to reduce. If you purchase supplies etc. you get to reduce the VAT you've paid.

So if you have $0 VAT from EU purchases, but $40 VAT from sales, you pay $40. But if you paid $40 VAT from EU purchases, and have $40 VAT from sales, you pay out $0.
> Brainfuck is actually rather complicated. As mentioned above, it has 8 instructions [...]

True enough, but I would say the crucial difference is that Brainfuck's eight instructions have no parameters, whereas all single-instruction languages use one or more operands in order for their lone instruction to have multiple effects.

Sometimes it matters whether serialization to a string is a deterministic function. If the JSON is the same, you want the output to be the same. A JSON parser won't care, but it's useful to do a string comparison without parsing (for example when diffing output).

The downvote situation is always in flux. That's one of the reasons not to post comments about downvotes on HN: by the time people read the comment, it will probably be obsolete.

The greater reason not to post such comments, of course, is that they're inevitably off-topic and tedious.
I don't like the automatic tips for another reason: I'm always skeptical the delivery person actually gets the tip.
Yes, based on the litmus test of the recent lack of global cooperation in managing climate change, we can expect developed countries to look after their own citizens only, using their militaries to steal all available food from less developed countries. Immigration-based countries such as the U.S. will be better positioned to convince their citizen base that they owe nothing to other countries peoples by presenting their own population as "representative of the world's ethnic balance", and even as "the subset of the world that God wants to save". Expect to hear "the United States is the Ark of Noah for this day and age" broadcast on U.S. televisions as drone robots march through the Brahmaputra harvesting rice for loading onto ships destined for the U.S. as the local population starve. The leaders of developing nations with nukes such as Russia and India will be given U.S. citizenship en mass, Roman Empire style, in return for control over those weapons. English-language testing will be canceled for Chinese students wanting to study in the U.S., who'll be distributed around colleges in cities all over the U.S. to discourage their parents launching Chinese nukes at them.
Mjolnir isn't actually under active development anymore. A few months ago sdegutis decided to write a closed source alternative which has not yet been released.

The mjolnir community does have an actively developed fork though called hammerspoon. http://www.hammerspoon.org/

I would recommend either of them, but hammerspoon has a smoother onboarding process.
I think it's the official file manager extension that's doing it - though with the old version that I have, the file manager came built in instead of as an optional (paid, now) extension.

this is not simply a problem of 'at least two' uber drivers having been charged with raping passengers since sunday, but the fact that it is symptomatic of a pattern of flouting laws in boston (and other areas certainly). here in the bean uber has already been convicted of making up $10 airport passenger fees when the commonwealth itself only enforces ~$3 (and then only on licensed cabs). rape is not a disease specific to uber and it certainly afflicts the larger livery industry, but kalanick's brand of deregulation and aggressive 'asshole capitalism' arguably provides a perfect stew for these crimes to occur. it's only worse for the fact that they are publicly known and still think they can get away with it

risk is measured as some combination of time and money. how they interact should depend on the specific project.
Yes, replication with auto failover is far away from enterprice-only today. If you pay 5$/month you can get a SQL Database in Azure running on 3 nodes with auto failover. One node is synchronous and the second one is async updated. I wouldnt choose a database today unless setting up somerhing like that is obvious and trivial.
Ingredients:

1tbsp organic extra virgin coconut oil

2tbsp Strauss Family* organic grass fed butter (unsalted)

16oz Sightglass* coffee (from 4tbsp grounds)

*both brands local to the bay area.

drink!

code!

If you don't like the heavy butter taste adjust the coconut oil quantity up a little, or maybe brew the coffee a little stronger.
Why fork something that is incomplete, unstable, has very limited test coverage, and doesn't tightly control the generated markup?

CKEditor has had the ACF (Advanced Content Filter) for >1.5 years now. It allows you to very tightly control which tags and attributes are allowed.

This feature, and the rest of CKEditor has much, much more test coverage to account for the many browser quirks (notably in contentEditable) that they have had to work around, to prevent regressions.
It's a waste of time for everybody to solve the same problems and work around the same browser quirks over and over again.

The "Ability to add uneditable area inside editor text flow (useful when building modules like video tools, advanced image editor etc)." feature is probably the only interesting feature. But it's nothing compared to CKEditor Widgets, which does exactly this, and much more (think storing structured content but transforming it to the specific markup that a frontend developer wants).
Just compare Wysihtml's "advanced" demo to the CKEditor Widgets demo: http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_widgets

See http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_advanced_content_filte... for more about ACF and http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_widgets for more about Widgets.

It's a good first step, however unless the experiments are repeatable/independent, it's not particularly trustworthy.

Consider that they may be falsifying or misinterpreting data. The only way to be sure they aren't -- or pretty sure, anyway -- is to have independent researchers be able to follow the same repeatable process in order to replicate the results.

I don't know enough about this case to say whether they have a good repeatable experimental process -- it's possible that the website just smells so strongly of woo that nobody has even tried to replicate their results in the first place. But without that independent verification, the proposed results seem questionable.

I resent calling Kelly Johnson merely the inventor of SR-71. He was the father, the project manager and the organizational hustler who found Skunk Works and defined it's working culture. He was a legendary aviation engineer but also really understood how to get a team of experts to produce results and to co-operate with the manufacturing and operations to create feats of engineering.

He found and ran a lean organization on grit and triftiness when toyota production system was taking it's baby steps in japan.

I heartily suggest Ben Rich's 'Skunk works' to anyone who gets a kick out of a true story what it actually means in terms of output when an innovative engineering team actually works lean... in hardware.

No.

I get lots of interviews with managers who use technologies I'm quite happy with.

When I say I am discriminated against because of my age, it's because I can tell they don't want to hire me, the very instant they look at me.

Do you know the term "code word", with reference to discrimination? With me, I am often told I would not "fit the company culture".

My ex-wife was one a motel manager. She was specifically told not to rent rooms to First Nations people (ie. Native Canadians).

A friend once interviewed to be an apartment manager. She was specifically told not to rent to black people.

However, the owners of that hotel and that apartment, did not specifically come right out and say so. They used "code words", for example the apartment owner told my friend to inform people that spoke in a certain way, that there were no apartments available.
I agree start-ups have become in vogue recently and many young, impressionable 20 somethings (myself included) get caught in the Tech Crunch celebrity of it all, but the person you're describing is exactly the kind of person doing start-ups for the wrong reasons.

Start with your passion and build a business around it. If the business end never works out, at least you got to work on something you really enjoy.

Much harder said than done. Many people don't know what they're truly passionate about until their 30-40s.

I guess it depends on how you define nerd. I would describe a large percentage of students at top schools to be incredibly goal oriented, but not really nerdy.

Every time I look into tools like this they are quite far behind for example AlwaysOn in MSSQL. For example, with PG I have to reseed the original master if it comes back online after an outage.
