Yes. node-webkit / nw.js is really slick. I love that I can create a desktop app without even a hint of Cocoa or Obj-C on my part. The runtime is like 90mb, yes, but the source itself is 4mb including dependencies. Memory usage is decent at ~18mb

Yeah, the answer to "commercial mass-produced eggs waste resources" isn't "let's use mass-produced X instead!"

...it's more along the lines of what you suggest: preferring locally-produced eggs from smaller producers. Preferably organic, free-range, etc. Certainly more expensive in "dollars", but ...
When I was an engineering student I had several friends who were enlisted in the Air Force reserve while in college. They did pretty advanced electronics / avionics maintenance during their weekends and inevitable 3 month deployments in Afghanistan. When they graduated with electrical engineering degrees they stayed enlisted since it was less stress / more fun to work with the hardware than manage.

Just because someone is enlisted doesn't necessarily mean they aren't educated or specialized.
From the article linked in this post:

> Multiscale convolutional neural networks aren't that much different than the feature-based systems of the past. The first level neurons in deep learning systems learn to utilize gradients in a way that is similar to hand-crafted features such as SIFT and HOG. Objects used to be found in a sliding-window fashion, but now it is easier and sexier to think of this operation as convolving an image with a filter. Some of the best detection systems used to use multiple linear SVMs, combined in some ad-hoc way, and now we are essentially using even more of such linear decision boundaries. Deep learning systems can be thought of a multiple stages of applying linear operators and piping them through a non-linear activation function, but deep learning is more similar to a clever combination of linear SVMs than a memory-ish Kernel-based learning system.

> Features these days aren't engineered by hand. However, architectures of Deep systems are still being designed manually -- and it looks like the experts are the best at this task. The operations on the inside of both classic and modern recognition systems are still very much the same. You still need to be clever to play in the game, but now you need a big computer. -

SC:CT's adversarial MP really was fantastic, even more so when you consider that it managed despite an engine that was roughly a generation behind what the single player and co-op modes were using.

The only thing is that, like quite a few games today, it was best in beta. I distinctly remember that in the final version, they tweaked the lighting model across all levels to be far higher contrast, and that pretty much killed it for myself and everyone I knew who played it.

Yeah, you couldn't cheat anymore by turning up your gamma, but that came at the price of destroying those priceless moments where you thought you saw something in the shadows, but you weren't sure.
"How is this even possible?"

It doesn't seem at all implausible to me. Running a KC-135 and a crew of 4-8 to deliver the fuel at altitude isn't going to be cheap.

JP-8 fuel appears to cost around $3.00/gallon at ground level, so a factor of 15 would be $45/gallon delivered.

JP-8 has a density of about 0.8 kg/l, or about 6 lb/gallon.

Civilian airline fares are somewhere in the neighborhood of $0.20/seat-mile. If you SWAG the weight of a passenger at 200 pounds, that's about $0.001/pound-mile. Now figure that the fuel might have to be flown 5,000 miles (possibly in multiple trips) That's $5.00/pound, times 6 pounds per gallon would give $30.00/gallon delivered (at commercial airline rates).

Now figure that this is all military and $45/gallon actually starts to look pretty cheap.

Edit: I think you edited your post. I assumed you were wondering how the cost could go up by a factor of 15. Now it looks like you're asking how this kind of mistake could happen. That's a different issue. :-)

They do map 1:1, that's the point:

void f(Foo* x) { Foo* y = new Foo(); x = y; } // C++
public void f(Foo x) { Foo y = new Foo(); x = y; } // Java

If 'x' was a reference then you couldn't do that.

Knowing what you're optimizing for and what your product value is are important. I have seen some highly successful viral platforms destroy themselves with a redesign because they didn't seem to understand the importance of their UI/UX - they thought their idea on its own was great.
Holy crap. The DMG is 33MB. What is being done that's so huge?
Your focus on GTOR explaining techniques is madness. It's clearly not about that, yet you keep descending beyond the general in GTOR and into the specific implementations. You have some priority, some thing that has to be fulfilled, and you are fixated entirely upon this square-1 position and unable to see anything beyond that. I think if you could find the general, you'd see that your preferred expressivities- imperative systems- enact the same kinds of GENERAL couplings. Whether it's implicit or explicit, it's still a general conception and we have to think about it and have mental models that understand coupling/reaction.

And those things GTOR does use in square 1 are fine. Your heavyhanded rejection of them is colosssaly sad and twisted. If a mental construct suits a problem and helps you think of it, that's what is important. The programmatic platform follows our ability to think, it does not define it, yet you keep insisting the cart must come first, that the platform has to be a certain way or else or else or else. FUD. FUD FUD FUD.

It's using the references that everyone on the planet but those of your little cultish view know to explain general ways of thinking about things. Your unwillingness to see parity between the general ideas put forward because it's not your favored implementation reads grossly to me. Observers, contracts, data-flow are real, graspable concepts and if they closely model how you want to think about a problem then they are most definitely good concepts, and it's up to the platform to have good ways to express natural thought. I still have an enormously hard time decyphering the mad mess of shibboleths you toss out, activating your elitist trope of true beleievers (and I'm not a complete neophyte to your clique myself), but I am 100% sure, as I stated in my first paragraph, that all systems enact a coupling/reactivity. Control, whether it's explicit or implicit in the flow, is still the chief thing entailed in mentally modeling and putting into practice: this is unrejectable.

In particular, your bringing up of the referential transparency doubles down on my prime criticism in the previous: you bring up points that you claim contend, but you provide no support, no structure where anyone but those already attuned to your brand of thought can get onboard with you. Your claims are uncontestable, because they are indecypherable. They claim a split, but don't deign to point out what that split is. That, culturally, is a big indicator to me.

Your case rests around whether or not reactivity is a general thing or not, and I think it's quite clear we can find these concepts embodied in any system.
Depends of the definition of meaningless tasks. What you cut in money you make up for in wealth. You have more discretionary time to do what you want: work on side projects, doing things you can’t otherwise do outside of work hours on a weekday, and just getting an early recharge so you can be more effective on the days you do work.

IMO the minimal security requirements for online voting must include fully open source code. I don't mean open source licensing, but the entire implementation must be open to public review and audit.

Even with that, I have my doubts. On the other hand, traditional paper ballots are certainly prone to all kinds of fraud, and on balance I'd say an electronic system should be able to do better, if not be perfectly secure.

Wow. I'm not OP but I'm really amazed to see a story about the Johnstown Flood on the front page of Hacker News. I'm originally from the area and I even wrote a large research paper about this when I was in college.

The short story is that many of the rich elite of the late 1880s would vacation near a man made dam in South Fork PA. The hills of the Alleghenies are ominous with a water migration route that leads straight into downtown Johnstown, which was then a bustling steel town. On May 31, 1889 a historic rain caused the dam to fail. This caused a wall of water to crash upon Johnstown, leading to 2209 deaths and what was effectively the destruction of the city. It was one of the first big stories in the post-antebellum nation and also was one of the first disasters which the American Red Cross and Clara Barton were onsite to help with.

The common story and moral derived from said story is that the rich patrons that owned the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club did not maintain the dam which caused the dam to fail which was responsible for the fatalities caused by the flood. Lawsuits were dismissed as the flood was thought to have been an "act of God". It could be seen today (and was when now-famous historian David McCullough wrote his book about this 1968) as being indicative of how rich and the 1% lead to the direct damage and destruction of the lower class.

As someone who has researched it, there is far more to it than that. But, kinda cool to see it posted here.
Millions of people make money trading. Yes, it's hard for hedge funds to generate returns on billions of dollars. Luckily (?) for me, I don't have the problem of investing billions. Instead, I can seek-out high probability trades (pairs trades, spreads, futures and other derivatives, anything really, i'm agnostic to specific product). I'm not saying everybody should do what I do, just offering my own experience.
> So if interest rates reverse their course (even if only slightly), the asset owning rich will suffer, and earners will gain.

Plenty of middle class people own their own homes, so it sounds like your proposal would also hit them significantly. On the other hand, many rich people own companies (or parts of), which aren't exactly assets (not like a private jet or a mansion is).
Like I say its very subtle (and difficult to describe), and "not doing" is different from actively trying to do something in a different way. A lot of the teaching is just about slowing down and watching what you are doing (and what happens automatically).

For example, try squatting but keeping your heels on the floor. You will likely not be able to do it. Now if you could lie on your back, with feet on the floor and get someone to raise the rest of your body to a squat position, then it would probably happen. The action of squatting will trigger lots of habitual muscular responses that your brain didn't specifically ask for. If you are put in that position from a non conventional way, the muscles raising your heels won't be triggered.

Or a basic example. Stand straight and look ahead. Now imagine that you are in the start up line for 100m sprint. Now really try to imagine you are there. Now check your legs. Is there tension in one of them, ready to sprint off? Did you consciously do that?

The lessons explore these habitual responses, so that once you recognise them you have the choice to carry on habitually, or do something in a new way.

As I say, its difficult to describe.
If I had a several million dollar investment fund and the ability to make discretionary investments of the amount YCombinator makes to the people they fund, I'd fund Terry in a heartbeat and not care a whit whether I ever see a return or not. It's the kind of cheap bet that has the potential to generate enormous upsides, even if they aren't exactly monetary. Terry is a survivor and a maverick. He's done amazing things and is looking for more. He's the kind of guy I want to believe can find a way to greater success, and YCombinator seems like just the sort of place where he can find that.

I am confused about notabug.org, why do the project and profile pages look eerily similar to GitHub's?
An online voting site should not use javascript. Period. It should be bare-bones simplest possible HTML form posting with all validation and logic happening server-side. For one thing it needs to be accessible to disabled voters and the more complex the UI implementation, the less accessible it will be. Also for security peace of mind it should be usable with all scripting and plugins disabled.

A ballot is not a complex UI. A basic HTML form with checkboxes and/or radio buttons is all that's needed.
>This guy is essentially saying that providing better customer experience would reduce number of clicks and his pageviews and thus his income

The problem is that "better" is in the eye of the beholder. That is why split testing is favorable even if the proposed changes seem obviously "better". There is no legitimate reason to skip split testing, but there are a number of reasons to not skip it.
These were a bit more useful for me. Each session has a specific mantra that Deepak explains. Oprah's part is the intro, and it is pretty pointless except so she can say she collaborated AFIACT.

Anything of this flavor comes with the obvious disclaimer. Gurus are human too, of course. In Deepak's case, there's even a documentary from his son Gotham ("Decoding Deepak") that shows that side of his father.
It's a bit off-topic, but is there a reason to still use the original MinGW and not MinGW-w64? The list only mentions the original one.

I also didn't know that GNU refers to the MIT license as Expat license.

The list also links to several PDF versions of books that are still sold and also not published under a free license. Just mentioning them should be fine. We all know how to use an online search engine if we want to get a copy, don't we?
You need a certain amount of programming puzzle skill to get past the interview process at most tech companies. Competitive programming is a good way to practice this skill, but you don't have to do it at the exclusion of other types of programming. You may want to take a break from side projects for a few weeks or months while you work on your coding interview/competitive programming skills. After a certain point, there are diminishing returns unless you get interested in the competitive programming world and want to keep competing.

Lots of goodies in there. I'll make a pitch for including some modern mallocs like jemalloc or tcmalloc in the list. Also the hdf5 library for numerical data storage is quite useful (pytables is built on top of it).
I find the technology choice here very interesting, a desktop applet programmed with what I look at as mainly web technologies (JavaScript, JSON, Node, Webkit). It's impossible to ignore how the landscape has changed in the past 5 years and how web-style programming is slowly bleeding into spaces dominated by native applications.

When I first got into software development years ago with an eye for tools and games, I approached web programming as a stepping stone. I wonder what direction I would go if I were to start over today.
Automated sprint review docs from Pivotal Tracker
Hi guys, been working for some times on projects using Pivotal Tracker and also having to build sprint review docs to present to clients. Here is a small app that does the work for you!

The app has a built in client in ruby that provides easy access to some of the endpoints from Pivotal Tracker Rest API V5.

All feedback is welcome!
The whole point of NAB is to be a fully-free (as in freedom) alternative to GitHub. It was prompted (in a big way) by the acquisition of Gitorious.
node-webkit presumably.
There are plenty of other languages that are probably already installed on a given person's laptop (e.g.python, ruby, clang, swift now? etc. come built in) that also are better suited for an user-facing app with no web dependencies.

Not to mention webkit running a menu bar app is nauseous, though I would certainly hope 99% of the framework isn't involved.

I live up in Boalsburg (near State College) and have visited both the museum and the remains of the dam. The article really doesn't do the scope of the destruction justice. Many of the pictures show an entire small city reduced to matchsticks ... except the individual matchsticks are 2x4s.

I have to believe the guy that salvaged the drain-pipes is the most likely criminal in the whole affair. You do have to wonder about rich people who buy a dam that's been leaking during its entire existence.

Couldn't a digital representation meant for a PC/TV work equally well? You could have your software create a graphical representation of the books on a bookshelf, and enable the user to make it into a screensaver, or something they could put on a TV. Seems like it would be at least an interesting addition to your service. Obviously not everyone can dedicate a TV to displaying their collection of books, but the results can be neat for those who can... http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5170/5263049453_a91bf99e3e.jp...

Bad analogy. Hijacking isn't caused/enabled by a plane having more passengers than it was designed to carry.
