This was posted on HN 2 months before I donated £50 at that time so i wouldn't say it didn't get enough exposure.

It's just that it takes a lot of media attention to get you to your goal plus a lot of the donations a coming from regular developer who understand the importance of this instead of the big companies profiting from this software.
I've found Airmail 2 has improved massively, and I use it as my primary email client on my mac, but to be honest it's still behind where Sparrow was IMO.

There are a number of interface gripes I have, and it sometimes consumes about 1.5GB of RAM, but overall it's the best OSX email client I've used (that's being actively maintained).
From the article it looks like they use a technique similar to the 'Heart rate monitor' apps, but instead of trying to look for pulses they look to quantify the blood oxygen content, perhaps using colour? and from that get a diagnosis on a malarial infection.

Absent more information, it's difficult to tell. There are a bajillion possible reasons people aren't hanging out with you. Off the top of my head, some of the reasons I don't like to hang out with certain people include them being overly argumentative, saying racist things, leaning in too closely to me while talking, not taking things seriously, taking things too seriously, and body odor. It's also possible that you're over-analyzing your current situation.

You really should just try asking a close friend, family member, co-worker, classmate, or anyone you spend (or used to spend) a lot of time with (in a friendly capacity or otherwise). That said, the fact that you're asking HN rather than a close friend, family member, etc. suggests that doesn't work for you, for whatever reason.

So try this: go to a random meetup, chat with a stranger for 15-30 minutes, and then ask them if there's anything about you that seems off-putting. If you feel uncomfortable asking that kind of question or if you're concerned that you won't get an honest response, tell them you're gathering data for a study or something.

And if that doesn't work, you can always schedule an appointment with a professional therapist.
I guess because the easiest way to attack central tech industry mythologies is to have a wealthy "thought leader" disagree with them. Just needs to be right-wing enough to say a sentence like "Let me give both a libertarian and a conservative answer" and rail against "political correctness".

For a wearable to 'really' succeed it must be
1. Unobtrusive.
2. Elegantly hidden.

Almost all the wearables on the market today are designed to be flaunted.
This is true, if you can get over the fact that results will come very slowly, and that, in the gyms I've visited at least, most of the people there are already ripped and can make you feel somewhat inadequate.
It's great for some things, but bad for others. If you're using Firefox for example, and the notebook is calculating something, it will lock up all Firefox windows. Also, if you are printing a lot, the html rendering is very slow and consumes a lot of CPU.

Great for previewing graphs and copy pasting and executing things out of order.
Don't forget that the higher level functionality (e.g. the scikit-learn routines Radim uses) are typically wrappers for underlying C/Fortran routines and they're the real bottleneck. The relatively few lines of VM'd Python are 'slow' compared to e.g. C but aren't the bottleneck.

The win with Python (and other dynamic languages) is that you can experiment quickly with ideas when you're formulating a solution, that's a big part of exploratory data science.

If you're curious about high-speed work in Python - Radim did a blog series on how he sped up word2vec to be faster than Google's original C code: http://radimrehurek.com/2013/09/deep-learning-with-word2vec-...

I'll also note [self promo!] that I wrote on book on High Performance Python, if that's your cup of tea (and Radim wrote a section in it): http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028963.do

I'm the kind of person who tries to get a junior position in this case, and I don't know if I could be called Senior.

Let's say I've been working for almost 3 years in which i have developed fully on my own Android, Java Swing, Php, AngularJS, C and managed an apache server with FTP access and virtual domains.

I know half of the people I went Uni with would cry and weep at the prospect of doing my job, but still, there's nobody to say that I'm senior.

Maybe the person applying just doesn'ty know he's Senior, after all there's no Standard.

Maybe he's just unemployed and feeling the dread of poverty.

Maybe he has a shitty job and just wants to flee or get better opportunities of improvement.

Disregard all definitive answers in this thread. You have provided so little information, it is impossible to answer your question with any reasonable degree accuracy.

The best way for you to receive an answer that is close to reality is to visit several psychotherapists and talk to professionals qualified to talk about your personal issues while maintaining your privacy. It would be also beneficial to learn more about meditation, self-awareness and psychology in general.

There's a "friends fallacy": Statistically, your friends have more friends than you. It's a true mathematical fact, due to the fact that the people with a lot of friends weigh a lot in the average of a lot of people. So it's not only your imagination ;)

I'd say you need to have a mentor, and in many cases it means having a psychologist. It takes hours to get over shyness and beyond all other hindrances of social life.
What Is a Software Engineer Salary?
I tried to submit a patch for GnuPG that would enable it to use "proprietary" PKCS#11 smart-cards instead of "open" OpenPGP smart-cards. Line of though being, users may already have S/MIME generated keys on their smart-cards, so why not use the same keys with PGP too? In the end, a key is just a number.

The request was refused [1] with ridiculous arguments [1] about PKCS#11 not being "needed in free software world".

After that, I started playing with S/MIME and found out it was much more user-friendly than GPG. (After the initial setup.)

It certainly raises some good questions, and the Printrbot is a great machine at the price point (I have a Printrbot Simple RepRap clone myself). His looks pretty well calibrated as I've seen a lot of Z-wobbling artefacts on the prints from several Printrbot (Simple Makers, not necessarily the metal one).

Worth nothing is that things like the Z-scar being on the side of the cup instead of under the handle is something that's decided by the slicer (the software that translates the 3d model into printer commands).

Different open source slicers that are regularly used produce different locations for these scars -- and I'm not sure if it's actually possible to position/hint this Z-scar manually in any of them. They often do try to be "smart" about it, but the end result may vary.

There was a post on HN just today by an anonymous guy for his book 'Hacking Sex' [1]. I actually went ahead and checked it out, since it had a lot of positive comments from women on Amazon. I was intrigued that the author stated that luck with women has nothing to do with genetics, but my surprise/interest diminished when I skipped through the pages and found all sorts of sections on buying clothes and being in good shape. I was really turned off when he gave advice about actually making love, really starting to think this guy is full of himself. I'm a little bit disgusted by his attitude about needing to have sex with as many women as possible, but I also understand how it could be beneficial. I'm sure that his advice does indeed vibe with what women desire, and it would probably do me some good to be open to it (when I have the time/money to do so).

More on my opinion and less on this book (which as I said I have only skimmed for now so can't really judge), I believe in the LAMPS theory: girls tend to be interested in Looks, Athleticism, Money, Power, and Status. I think you can gain a lot of the last 3 just by working hard on improving your own life. That book says you can be yourself and that girls will like you even more for that, but maybe that's just signaling Power/Status, or maybe LAMPS is just not a good theory. Ultimately though, in today's society you really just need to look good/healthy, have a fulfilling well paid occupation, and give the ladies (or other people) exactly what THEY want; you can't be selfish. It's not about YOU becoming less lonely, it's about being interesting to other people.

Also toastmasters, meetups good. PUA types can be helpful but also can be rubbish. I think a lot of social types spend years on the social stuff in school uni etc so geek types can sometimes have some catching up to do.
What this suggests to me, is that if you are making a lot of smaller 3d-prints, that don't leverage whatever special capability the UPrint has (size?), then it makes a lot more sense to have a large cluster of a couple dozen Printrbots than a single UPrint.
IMO competition is what drives our species. We've evolved this far because we would have been extinct if we didn't and we had to compete with other species for it. Same goes for today's world. On the other hand, competition is one of the most powerful motivational tools for many people. I wouldn't be where I am today if there was no competition in my life.

What's not mentioned in the article: if your workers don't have to work at two or, worse, three jobs to feed their family, they will be able to use their free time to actually relax, thus being more healthy and productive.

And they are likely to be able to spend the money they earn in local stores - because when I'd have to work 80h+ weeks, I simply would not have time for any shopping except food - and everything else on amazon, where I can shop 24/7.
Yes, but in the period you state, when the average wage has risen by 50%, the average house price has risen by over 200%, and RPI has risen by 117%.

It's true that back then, the average monthly mortgage payment might have been similar, if not slightly more (adjusted for inflation). However, a lifetime fixed rate is unusual and they would have moved to lower rates when they came available.

Also back then, more people had a 'job for life', defined benefit pensions, and inflation-matching or beating pay rises without the risk of moving to a new company. One could be reasonably confident that if a mortgage was affordable now, it would continue to be so in the future. Nowadays, with stagnant wages, interest rates that can only go up, and the need to invest more into personal pension funds in order to mitigate the risk of retiring at a market low point.
How do you grieve when you lose an Internet friend?
This is the wrong place to ask "what is wrong with me?" because we don't know you. Trying to answer without more information is going to be mostly speculation and projection.

That said, it's a good question to ask. I think most people who have trouble socially don't ask, and end up unhappy without realising why. I'm going to try to answer the related question: "how do I find out what is wrong with me?"

There are two people I think you should talk to:

Firstly, someone who would have been affected by your problem (if there really is one). You just need to ask them nicely and in a way that doesn't make it seem personal. If someone I knew said "Hey, I'm trying to improve myself. Could you tell me honestly if there is anything I'm doing that makes people uncomfortable?" I would do my best to help them.

Secondly, a therapist. They can listen to how you feel about social situations and help you figure out how to deal with it. Keep in mind that social anxiety is one of the most commonly reported mental health issues. There may be nothing wrong with you in social situations except the way you think about them. I can't say for sure because I'm not a therapist, but this kind of problem is exactly what they do.

Good luck and I hope you find your answers.
Nice! Just bought your book! :)
By farming, I'm referring to land which is planted/harvested, typically row crops like Wheat, Corn (maize), or hay (alfalfa). From doing a bit of reading on things like http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=5707&Di..., I'm guessing the practical limit is the speed/capability of a combine, and the length of the harvest season. It sounds like 100 acres/day is a limit, and harvest season can (typically) stretch from mid-september to end of october - or around 45 days. So, full out, presuming you use your own equipment, the largest "family" farm that can sustain a single annual harvest would be around 4500 acres.
Sorry, but we're on HN; your argument fitted in too well to believe it was a joke :)

It's nice in theory, but then the defintiion of "commerical" can mess it up, and can be subject to how judges (anywhere in the world interpret it). A german court ruled that "non-commerical" (in a CC licence) meant only for personal use, and non-personal entities had to pay. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140326/11405526695/germa...
> Change the way you get to work.

There's something to this. Change your smaller habits (ie, where you eat, walk, who you'd normally talk to, etc). Also, get other people talking, ask questions. People like people who listen to them.

On the other hand, don't only ask questions/listen. As someone who lives abroad, I can't tell you how many times I have to repeat my story (how long I've been here, how I learned the language, etc) and strangely people have the habit of keeping me talking with many successive questions (I'm not entirely comfortable with this). I've come to see this as possibly a nerves thing, where they find it easier to ask questions/listen than to be the one talking. What I'm saying is, develop both sides and you'll be able to handle the situation, whatever it is.

Here is the secret to making friends:

People make friends with friendly people. Friendly people enjoy the act "giving" friendship.

They give you fresh baked cookies just to you to see you smile - not because they expect you to do something in return.

They ask about how you are feeling ("How is your back these days?") because they actually care - not because they want your help moving.

Making friends becomes a by-product of being generous with your friendship.
The model is simple. Tons (quite literally) of steel have been rendered useless by ounces of failed silicon. The OEM's are unable or unwilling to provide replacements insisting that all that steel must be torn out and replaced in order to get the "updated" program for which they demand 100's of $k's or even millions plus "integration costs" etc.

Usually a $300 off the shelf PLC and a little patience will have them back up in no time. Sometimes it gets really hairy and I have to make little protocol converters with a custom PCB and a little code on a micro. Its almost all from the 80's and 90's. Its not rocket science by any stretch. Its more like plumbing (except in this case, the builder is telling you that when the sink clogs, you need a new house because they don't make that faucet anymore).

I mostly do fixed assets (old production plants and such) but it works for tractors, boats, earthmovers, and other vehicles as well.
Do you think I just got lucky with the Z-scar and Cura?
This stuck out:

"Whatever you think of the morality of nuclear weapons, building an atomic bomb is a far harder undertaking than building a website."

I disagree, Mr. Thiel. In building an atom bomb you have the laws of nature as a guide. Those laws are fixed ahead of time and do not change through the project. When you are doing something wrong, there is exactly one ultimate authority which will tell you so unequivocally. That kind of absolute feedback has value.

On the other hand, making a web site? No one knows what it should look like ahead of time because it doesn't exist yet. The managers also don't know, and the feedback they give about the project along the way will be either intentionally or unintentionally misleading, misinformed, and wrong. They may be trying to spare someone's feelings by giving some positive feedback. Nature doesn't have those kinds of problems with perpetuating false information.
No, you "don't need to address it". That stuff is just bandaid.

I struggled with my "manliness" until i realized it didn't matter. You don't have to match up to standards of masculinity to find friends and/or dates.

EDIT: of course getting good exercise is still a good idea for its own sake.
There could be many reasons why people avoid you. I don't know you and it would be hard to find the real reason here but I give you this one advice:

Don't go out and look for friends—never do this.

The problem is that people will smell it from the first moment you are around them. They will know when they see you looking at them, how you approach them and how you talk and how long you talk with them. You signal—it's basically written on your forehead: 'I need friends. I want friends. I am lonely, I am needy and full of despair, please f*ing talk to me.' And this neediness makes you as a person very unattractive. It's not your looks.

I went through a similar stage for a long time but could get out, now I have again tons of friends, a lovely girl-friend and life is good. Let me know if you need more advice.
So this article is about how Heath Robinson a British illustrator, similar to Rube Goldberg, would build a contraption if he was around today. Also it tries to find inspiration points that might help the reader in innovating. What do you think?
Who knows?

Perhaps appearance issues - from being overweight to having sweat stains to not smelling nice to having too long fingernails. Perhaps interaction issues - not making any eye contact, making too much of it, taking down to people, sucking up to them, etc. Perhaps personality issues - odd sense of humor, lack of overall confidence, over-confidence, pushy / boring / quirky personality, etc. It can be anything or a combination of thereof :-|

# That all said, I'd say the first impression you make and the overall confidence are the two most important things to pay attention to if you are looking to change things.
Competition is what drove our species. As a species who are we in competition with now? What if we have reached a point where co-operation should take over?

The whole commercial industry is relying on open-source components, arbitraging what should cost money in the first place to build a business, then assuming that people do it for the fun primarily (which is not completely untrue), maintenance though costs money, but to give edits back should be the role of the earning community, not the original founder. Licensing might help here, just too many people are offering their works for free (read there will always be somebody with a free alternative). It's kinda weird to expect something else and proclaim free software..
