ZUN (太田順也)[1] may only be on the 14th game in his "Touhou Project" series of danmaku[2] games, he that does include drawing all the art, composting the music (apx a CD worth per-game?), etc. When you add in the fighting game variants, experimental puzzle games, etc, that he released in the spare time between the main-series games, you end up with one of the most project histories that I've ever seen.

The scale of the impact his games have had is shocking. Fans of ZUN's work are so widespread, you've probably seen some of the art, covers[3], or some of the fan works that it inspired. If you were near any amount of Anime fandom in the last decade, then you've seen a lot of stuff based on ZUN's work.

That said, a lot of people haven't actually played his original games, which are very impressive. They may seem impossible[4] at first, but they have a certain meditative quality once you get past the initial shock, and can be (in my opinion) surprisingly effective at tricking the player into a "flow"-style mental state.

(The Scandinavian countries have more economic freedom in their private sectors than almost all the rest of the world, including the US. That's why they can, sorta, kinda, afford those bloated States and all that Socialism. Plus Norway has the oil, of course.)

Why is it that there is not - nor ever was - a single country built on Marxist principles?

The answer was quite simply stated by Marx as early as 1845, in The German Ideology, chapter one, part A [1], section 5:

"And, on the other hand, this development of productive forces (which itself implies the actual empirical existence of men in their world-historical, instead of local, being) is an absolutely necessary practical premise because without it want is merely made general, and with destitution the struggle for necessities and all the old filthy business would necessarily be reproduced"

"This development of productive forces" refers to the development of advanced capitalism, which Marx saw as an essential precondition for a successful socialist revolution.

This key principle was something Marx was clear on through his entire life, and many socialist movements stuck to it. In Russia it was one of several aspects that triggered the split between the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks - Lenin was not willing to wait. And so the Bolsheviks carried out their little coup d'etat: The October "revolution" was not a popular uprising against the old regime, but a coup against the socialist government elected after the old regime had collapsed in the spring.

Marx advocated popular revolutions in developed capitalism countries. Instead you had a series of civil wars, coup d'etats, and the occasional misguided revolution, in undeveloped, mostly agrarian and feudal or near-feudal countries.

Doomed to failure from day one according to Marxist principles.

So he wants to be a Marxist but he can't reconcile that with the economic facts he's learned, because Marxism is completely wrong. Too bad. We don't need to read his painful and boring rant.

TL,DR; Although I'm not a fan of entire Hadoop system, some judgements about it is totally wrong.

1) Do one thing well - Hadoop is so stacked up because of this (which has pros and cons). Every single component of Hadoop is designed specific to a job (there are many overlapped components, though)

2) Hadoop's main idea is to be data-local, yet this Pachy thing not to be: "Data is POSTed to the container over HTTP and the results are stored back in the file system". Data-locality (almost) always win.

3) There is no scheduler like YARN specified, yet fleet and etcd are not schedulers.

4) You may not like Java or JVM-based things (like I do), but there is no problem of being Java-based or JVM-based.

So what is the difference between democracy and communism? It's just assumed that people will have the power to vote, but will voluntarily choose a communist distribution of wealth?
When you sit down to do something, how many of these projects do you touch?

If the answer is "one", then do a git repo for one. The answer you should ask yourself is "when I look at the git log, which history(ies) would it make sense to see together".
Looking at my own history, it makes sense. As a kindergartner, I was playing a toy organ with play-by-number song books, and later in grade school I played clarinet. Big mistake: quitting in eight grade. As a side note, whenever I looked up words in the dictionary, I always paid attention to the etymology as well as the definition.

The only subject that I aced in college was Spanish, and the teacher was very good (and a native speaker), but not easy. We started Spanish 101 with 30 students, and ended Spanish 104 with just seven.

Now, 30+ years later, it's a bit rusty, but I can still read it pretty well, and can sort-of understand written Portuguese as well. I can drive down Collins St. in Joliet and easily read the signs on the businesses.

But wait, there's more! One Sunday, in 1993, I walked down to a neighborhood church that I had never visited before, and sat down, as it turned out, behind the music director. She heard me singing the hymns, and asked me immediately after the service if I'd be interested in joining the choir. Then, the next week, the handbell choir was playing, and I was hooked -- I ended up joining both.

More recently, I joined a community chorus that sings a wide range of pieces, and a great many of the old masterworks are not in English. I've found that I could pretty readily pick up pronunciation for a variety of languages, and even though I've never taken German lessons, I can almost figure out what's being sung in Bach or Mozart works -- and when I read an English translation, the relationships between English and German almost jump off the page for me. I still wouldn't be able to put together a coherent sentence in German, though.

If I had the time and money, I'd consider taking German, and maybe even Russian (I taught myself the Cyrillic alphabet at one point, so the alphabet would be the least of my problems).
Touhou is amazing. I don't really care for the games, but the community around it is huge and creative. ZUN's music is great, but the community also creates their own versions, in so many different genres.
Great article. To me, it explains why Medium is such a perfect fit for a certain kind of marketing material, and not much else beyond that.

I think it depends what 'great' means and how he learned. I'm a self-taught (by ear, by eyes, barely no "theory"[1]) failed musician, therefore not great, but after years of failed intuitions on what was and how to make music, I had moments where I felt the grace of being 'on' the music.

That taught me a few things:

- Sometimes there are things that were completely invisible to you.
- These things looked complex and painful, in reality they aren't.
- The right approach was too foreign for your (my) brain.
- Years of failing aren't waste, you learn patience and faith (yes faith).
- It is often summarized as `make haste slowly`
- Learning another weird thing won't ever be the same

[1] Music theory is a notation for experiences, don't learn theory until you felt what is described carnally a little. Beside they're only restricted abstractions. I knew chord progressions, modes, counterpoint, yet it wasn't until a day where my mind and ears just clicked that all these ideas suddenly became obvious, the symbols mapped my feelings one to one and understanding/remembering them was free.
I'll second this. Half of my conflicts when working on .NET projects are related to changes in .csproj, DBML, or EDMX files. I understand the function these files perform, but it certainly doesn't make it any easier. Just because I and a colleague happened to both add completely independent files to a project doesn't mean I should have to deal with a conflict.
Sometimes I find a two year old post on HN that I want to comment on, but it's "closed" - the reply button is gone. HN should implement that when N hits from Google occur, it bumps it back to the front page and makes it able to be discussed again.

The OP article probably means rDNS lookup, where IP is resolved to DNS name. For consumer IP's it would look something like 12-23-45-234.gw123.vietnamtelecom.net.

Edit: which usually gives a better idea of the host's origin than raw IP.
First of all, what does it mean than an IP resolves to a hostname?

You can do a reverse DNS lookup, which uses PTR records. See:

This is cool, but the Finnish system seems like it should be higher.

It looks as though the symmetricality between yksi, kaksi/kahdeksan yhdeksan implies a "two less than ten, one less than ten" pattern rather than an "8, 9" pattern. Can anyone comment on the etymology of kahdeksan/yhdeksan?

Obesity IS an excess of fat

Obesity IS INDICATED BY a high BMI

What that means is that when you see a high BMI there's a really good chance you're seeing obesity. But since obesity is defined as excess fat, the unusual cases where BMI doesn't correlate are exceptions to a rule. It should not surprise that professional athletes have bodies that are unusual and exceptional.
These regrets sound to me more like "your problems" than problems with this confirmation scheme.

> The problem is that the links become ugly, unwieldy for the users to handle

Why? The hash only needs to be big enough that brute-forcing becomes infeasible. Depending on the type of server-level flood control you're using, you can exactly determine the amount of bits required.

Or if you choose not to, a conservative estimate of 48 bits (8 characters in base64) characters should be more than enough. Remember that offline brute-forcing is not possible here, and at a rate of, say, 1M tries per second you'll be brute-forcing yourself silly for somewhere in the order of 2 years.

If you can make tighter estimates about flood control, these are rough (and still conservative x4) estimates: at a limit of 15k tries per second you can do with 7 bytes (times 6 bits). At a limit of 200 tries per second, just 6 bytes of base64 code (without proper flood control a large botnet could make this last one somewhat feasible, maybe).

... unless you mean to imply that the string "reset?user=John&expiry=987654321" is the ugly, unwieldy part :)

> For example the base64 encoding I was using for the authentication token included '.' as a one of the characters. Well, turns out that the linkification code in gmail will ignore a '.' at the end of the link (which is kind of sensible). So 1/64 of my validation links ended up being invalid.

Using the wrong encoding for your URLs has nothing to do with this technique. In fact, I don't think the article even suggested a particular type of encoding.

Did you not know what characters your base64 routine would output, or something? There's more than just the period that you don't want to end a URL with because of ambiguity with the ways people might want to use URLs in a sentence: Closing parens, comma, exclamation, asterisk, etc. Regardless of what one particular webmail provider will linkify or not, it's just common sense, if you think about it.

Closing parens are always a big problem with many Wikipedia links, it's not like this is some obscure "gotcha".

That is what the %XX URL-encoding was made for.

Or why not just use what YouTube does, they seem to have it figured out pretty well: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and -
Look, I could be wrong. I just find it very hard to believe that the man who read and understood the content of over 30 programming and web development books, has only come up with this http://www.sagecreekproductions.com as his company's web page. His github shows he started the first couple pages of a node book, but didn't get past the init commit. https://github.com/sidunn. I don't buy it, and I'm going to stop responding because there is more than enough information out there for people to make their own conclusions. But it's disingenuous at best to have this man review development books.
Yes it does look like this...That is amazing i guess.

DNS works both ways. It has pointer (PTR) records which allow you to assosciate an IP address you control with a domain name. Those are the opposite of an address record (A) with which you assosciate a domain name you control with an IP address.

For Google.com, I can get an A record (IP address)

$ dig +short google.com a
216.58.208.238

but I can also get a domain name for that IP

$ dig -x 216.58.208.238 +short
par10s22-in-f14.1e100.net.
par10s22-in-f14.1e100.net.

Google uses a service domain 1e100.net for their machines.

Although maybe OP only means the hostname in the banner message. I grepped my mail logs for hostnames from Vietnam and couldn't find any IPs that would resolve back to localhost.

"somebody will say something to trigger a lawsuit"

Two topics not discussed are leaks and rationalization.

Say someone's getting fired for not being the right race, or being a woman in a mans field, or not being a bro, or not going out drinking with the boys enough after work, she wouldn't date the boss, or being too old, or too gay, or too jewish, or whatever. "Sorry its a budget thing combined with different direction of company and best of luck to you" is legally extremely safe. Happens ALL the time. But if the boss has some deep personal conversation and it leaks out that he doesn't like most black people but he hired you anyway so its clearly not race, he doth protest too much, or how it doesn't matter that she wouldn't date him despite him asking her a couple times it really was something else... Or the rationalization thing, where lets face it, he was fired because he is gay and the boss is a republican, if the boss is smart enough not to leak that topic, but sufficiently dumb enough, in a long personal conversation out will come ridiculous rationalizations about the guys LoC or bug report / fix rates or attendance as a distractor for the boss to avoid talking about homophobia, unfortunately the rationalized metrics can actually be measured and open the company to wrongful termination lawsuits. "Your honor he said the only reason was my attendance wasn't very good, but my documents prove it was the best in the office, note the only day I was gone was a scheduled vacation day for the pride parade and he's out of the office continually attending fund raisers for anti-gay marriage republican candidates" etc etc. Usually that kind of stuff is settled expensively out of court with non-disparagement clauses so future employees can't avoid predatory bosses, which is another problem.

You can pretty much assume if "they" won't tell you why you're fired, and you can't obviously figure it out, then it was some illegal thing like above and they're smart enough not to provide lawsuit fodder on a platter.

Ya gotta realize that half of management is by definition below median, and that half of the population can create very expensive lawsuits.

Oh, I love some good world-building, and especially when there is a set of rules that's followed to their consequences. [Ayuc sums it up nicely in this comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9056594 ]

If you look at it this way, it CAN be done in fantasy. Check out Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker (a great one-off), or the Mistborn series. (There are quite a few similarities between them.)

Or Max Brooks' World War Z was great in this way, I think. Although it's been quite a while since I read that.

Yeah. I was an ardent FreeBSD fan for years - it pleased me in all the ways Linux didn't - but then I tried Ubuntu 5.04, discovered Synaptic and went "HOLY CRAP THIS IS SO OBVIOUSLY THE RIGHT WAY TO DO THIS."
I’ve had very little middle ground in my experience with gov.uk. It’s either been exceptionally useful in the case of student finance, the electoral roll, contacting local councils and so on - the sections of the site with highly focussed reasons for landing there - or extremely bad in other cases.

For example, earlier this week I was looking for guidance on what responsibilities Unincorporated Associations have to HMRC. The site is pretty much barren, and feels like a link dump with little explanation for what anything is. And because Gov.UK has wedged itself in front of the old HMRC site, half of the URLS plastered around the net redirect to a gov.uk index page instead of letting me view old content.

One specific example that caught me out was a page for finding your local HMRC branch. It existed on the old site, but that URL now redirects to a generic `contact us` page for the entirety of HMRC. (See http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/local/individuals/index.htm)
2. I think generally if you want to use your patent you call people and offer them the use of your technology (there must be some standard business practices for this). Then at least you can be reasonable that you claim they stole it from you. Doing nothing until someone else figures out the same thing and then saying they owe you is just unreasonable. I don't know the specifics of this case but that's how I'd classify a patent troll vs someone who did their best to improve the world with an invention.

Nice idea; however I'd be very surprised if there isn't already an implementation of this idea? It's kinda a streamlined Evernote (the way I use it) using the clipboard.

Klipper (KDE's clipboard for ctrl+C content) has a useful "make barcode" feature that allows you to highlight any text, which then is copied automatically to the clipboard, and turn it in to a QR code (I've got it on alt-V). Then the barcode reader on my phone can read the code and show the text; then I can copy-paste it on the phone. Clunky but working and using tools I've already got, no web involved (but the barcode app writer could be stealing the clips just as easily as the app writer in the OP).
